Chapter 8 The Isolated Situation

"Thank you, eldest princess, for your kindness." Chu Nanyue said gratefully, but she looked at Jin Buyan and made a difficulty: "But I may not need it on weekdays, wouldn't that disappoint Her Royal Highness the eldest princess?" ”

Chu Nanyue has long been accustomed to traveling in men's clothes, and now that her identity has changed, she may have to wear women's clothes on many occasions, but she is really not used to wearing heavy jewelry on her head.

"General Chu forgot." Tanglin Shuo patiently reminded, "Naturally, you don't need it every day." However, the general has a noble status, and when he attends various grand events, he rarely wears proper makeup as an embellishment. ”

I couldn't imagine that a man was so attentive that he even thought of this for her.

Chu Nanyue understood, nodded and thanked: "Thank you for the reminder, Your Highness Sixth, and please thank Your Highness for your kindness on my behalf." ”

After sending away Tanglin Shuo.

Qingshuang walked into the conference hall to clean up the teacup, and when she saw the golden step shake on the table, she asked Chu Nanyue and said: "General, this gold step shake is so good-looking, you can wear it at the next palace banquet, it must be the most brilliant." ”

Chu Nanyue shook his head: "No, I will buy other jewelry, you should carefully put away this pair, you can't wear it." ”

"Why? This is a reward from Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. Qingshuang said strangely.

Chu Nanyue was extremely calm: "It is precisely because it was given by the eldest princess that I can't wear it all day long." Now that I have been made a general and a new person to the court, how many people are waiting to see my jokes, and how many people are jealous of me. There's no need to summon additional grievances. ”

"Then when His Highness the Sixth is here, why didn't you say it?" Qingshuang Road.

"Silly girl." Chu Nanyue smiled, "His Royal Highness the Sixth thinks about me, with some kindness, why should I provoke people in front of me." What's more, he was the one who reminded me. ”

"The general is wise." Qingshuang couldn't help but praise.

She sighed once again that General Chu, who was praised in the army for his scheming and unparalleled in the world, really lived up to his reputation.

On the palace of the six princes.

The lights were on, but the people in the whole house did not stop.

When a few guards returned to the house to report the news, the housekeeper in the house sent someone to open the door of the house with a lamp and welcome the six princes back to the house.

The sixth prince, Dongling Shuo, walked in quickly, and the personal guard Rongsheng took the cloak and carefully put it away and hung it on the shelf.

"Rong Sheng, what do those ministers say about General Chu's return to the dynasty?" Tanglin Shuo sat on a chair and took a sip of freshly brewed hot tea.

"Your Royal Highness, some ministers still praise General Chu, and they also praise her for having the demeanor of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess back then." Rong Sheng looked at Donglin Shuo's expression, and said first.

"My aunt said the same thing." There was a hint of softness in Donglin Shuo's eyes, not as deep as he usually was, and his tone rose a little, "What else?" ”

"And ...... Several generals were very unconvinced, thinking that General Chu was a female class, and it was a joke to lead the army to fight and get the position of general. Rong Sheng looked at Donglin Shuo's eyes and continued cautiously.

"Hmph." Tanglin Shuo sneered. The softness of Fang Cai seems to be just an illusion for a moment. His eyes were as sharp as a sword, and those mediocre courtiers seemed to be the ones he disdained to deal with.

"Your Highness, it's strange to say, in the past, when they talked, they avoided people, and their subordinates were not easy to inquire. But this time, they had no scruples. Rongsheng said.

"This is nature, it's all grass on the wall, and whichever side is stronger, you are afraid of which side." There was contempt in Tanglin's tone.

And in his heart, he couldn't help but worry about Chu Nanyue.

The foundation of the Chu family is still shallow, and it is not feared by the ministers of the court. Chu Nanyue revealed his identity, although he won the position of General Xuanwei, but he had no military power, so naturally he couldn't suppress those old ministers.

And the most important point, although Chu Nanyue didn't say it, he saw it. I'm afraid that even her background, the Chu family, may not really be on her side.

The situation of isolation and helplessness is not easy to walk.

Donglin Shuo couldn't help but close his eyes, only to hear Rong Sheng ask: "Your Highness, what are we going to do?" ”

"The deeds of the eldest princess were printed in books and scattered among the people. You go to a few storytellers and ask them to relate the deeds of the first battle of Yecheng, the general of Chu. Tanglin Shuo commanded.

Rong Sheng secretly wrote down that this step was to establish a good reputation for Chu Nanyue among the people. In the court, Chu Nanyue is a newcomer, and the word public opinion can become a big help for her.

The matter of the eldest princess is spread far again, and it is also a reminder to the ministers. If you criticize the matter of women as generals in the future, you will be slapping the eldest princess and the royal princess in the face.

Tanglin Shuo thought of the generals in the court, so he had another plan, and said with a smile: "Since you like to talk behind your back so much, it's better to come to me first and say a good time." It just so happened that I missed them too, and I set up a banquet tomorrow, so I invited them to sit in the house. ”

"Yes!" Rong Sheng couldn't help but shudder, he knew that Donglin Shuo's smile was by no means kind, and every time His Highness raised such a smile, it always made people shudder.

The next day, the Six Princes' Mansion was up.

Those generals were invited to come, but they didn't know the intentions of the six princes, so they just regarded it as a daily banquet.

However, when I arrived, I found that there were only a few people invited, and they discussed a few words with each other, and they couldn't guess what the six princes meant.

Tanglin Shuo walked in, looked at the saluting crowd and raised his hand, and said indifferently: "Sit down." ”

Everyone sat down tremblingly, not moving their chopsticks, just waiting for Tanglin Shuo to show down.

"I'm inviting you all over today, just to catch up. General Chu's return to the DPRK a few days ago reminded me of my experience in the army that year. Tanglin Shuo's eyes narrowed, as if he really remembered.

"Your Royal Highness is the prince of the Sixth, and he will die on the battlefield, and His Royal Highness will still work tirelessly in the camp to experience, and he will be admired in the end." A military general toasts Tanglin Shuo.

Tanglin Shuo didn't answer, his eyes were cold, and he said, "Well said!" A narrow escape. You are military generals, and you all understand that the exploits of the soldiers are all exchanged for real swords and guns. ”

After a pause, he picked up the wine jug in his right hand, filled the wine cup by cup, and hooked his lips: "But since you understand, why bother talking about people's rights and wrongs behind your back, and hating the achievements of others?" ”

"Your Highness has misunderstood!" The military general said eagerly.

Those glasses of wine were obviously filled for the people in the seats, but none of the generals present dared to drink them.

"Misunderstanding what?" Tanglin Shuo glanced at the man, "How happy are you when you are discussing, it just so happens that now that everyone is together, why don't you do it again in front of me?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent.

Everyone knew that Tanglin Shuo had been training in Chu Nanyue's camp for a year, but originally they were only regarded as the most ordinary comrade friendship.

But now that I see the appearance of Donglin Shuo's maintenance, probably the two have a lot of friendship.

The generals originally felt that it was not reasonable to talk about this act behind their backs, and thinking back to their many sneers at Chu Nanyue in the past few days, they probably passed into Donglin Shuo's ears, and they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
