Section 19 Boudoir Language
Sister, you seem to be a little unhappy, do you have anything on your mind?" The girl who was reading a book saw Situ Yushuang who was condensing frost on jade cheeks coming in from outside the door, and quickly put down the book and asked with concern. Han Yan, the personal maid who came in closely, hurriedly took off the master's cloak and hung it on the coat rack for him.
"Miss, you bake the examiner, it's really cold outside, I see that the Spring Festival is coming, but this ghost weather doesn't look like the sun is returning at all. Hanyan moved the soft chair to the brazier with concern, next to the girl reading the book.
"Hmph, I think this weather is also the same as people's mood, the more unpleasant, the worse. Sitting on the soft chair, gently rubbing his stiff hands, with the warmth of the charcoal fire, his hands gradually returned to nature.
"What's the matter, sister?" the chestnut-haired girl looked up at her thirteen princesses of the empire curiously.
"Well, it's nothing, it's just a little depressed, but then again, how much does it have to do with me?" sighed softly, and did not answer the chestnut-haired girl's question directly.
"Hanyan, what is it that makes my sister so unhappy?" The chestnut-haired girl is naturally Sophia, the exiled princess of the original Jemerlot Kingdom.
"Miss Sophia, I don't know what's wrong with Miss, she just came back from His Highness the Nine. Han Yan glanced at his own young lady.
"Did you quarrel with your ninth brother?" asked Sophia with concern.
"No, it's okay," Situ Yushuang moved his hands, feeling that the indoor temperature was a little high, and unbuttoned the top button of the gold silk rusty jacket, revealing a white jade-like neck, "That Li Wufeng came to Beijing to report on his work, and today I met my father in the court, and I don't know how my father was dizzy, not to mention that he was promoted to duke, and let him concurrently serve as the governor of the North Luzon region, overseeing all the military and political affairs of the entire Northwest County and North Luzon." ”
"Oh, this guy has entered Beijing, and he has been named the governor of Northern Luzon, so this guy has taken control of Northern Luzon?" Sophia is no longer the ignorant girl she was a year ago, she has been staying in Situ Yushuang's mansion for the past year, but she is very concerned about the political situation of the entire continent.
The Maceder's raid on Yuejing once again and the inclusion of Yuejing in one fell swoop caused a strong reaction from the empire and surrounding countries such as Milan, which made her excited. However, the embarrassing facts once again sobered her up to how unrealistic it was to try to restore her country by relying on these illusory forces, the successive crushing defeats of the empire on the southern border, the fact that Milan was counterattacked by the Macekhans, and the posturing of both Andaco and Mahad made her very frustrated.
For a while, she fell into a state of confusion, and it seemed that there was no power in the entire Eastern Continent that could shake the status of the Maqi Khans, could it be that her mother and younger brother could only live under the imprisonment of the Maqi Khans for the rest of their lives, and she would live under the fence like this for the rest of her life? Although Situ Yushuang had never disliked herself, and she had comforted him many times, she was also a girl after all, and sooner or later she would marry into his family, so she would not have to follow her. Of course, it is easy for me to find someone to marry, but I always feel unwilling.
Just when she was confused, the news of the Northwest Army's march into Luzon also caused an uproar throughout the empire, and due to its remote location, the ordinary people of the empire did not know the details, even the people of the imperial court did not know the details. However, she learned from Situ Yushuang that this Li Wufeng actually dared to brazenly send troops to Luzon without the authorization of the Imperial Central Committee, and his audacity was truly shocking.
But the experience of this person's legendary surname once again aroused her great curiosity, a little-known small wing Zhang was able to turn defeat into victory in the case of the rout of the main force of the Western Expedition, and successfully curbed the invasion of the rampant Luobei Iron Cavalry, and then in just a few years, suppressed the bandits and quelled the rebellion, and then broke Luobei, developed the economy, and became the third Jiedu envoy of the empire who held the military and political power in the northwest, and its speed was unbelievable. Although Situ Yushuang said in front of her many times that this Li Wufeng was a villain, and it happened to be a chance to climb to this position with intrigue and trickery, but she herself didn't think so, how could she succeed by luck or trickery every time, if she didn't have any real skills and strength, where could she rise to such a high position?
When she heard Situ Yushuang say this today, she suddenly understood the reason why her sister was in a bad mood, she knew that her sister had a very bad impression of Li Wufeng for some reason, and always thought that this person was the henchman of the empire.
However, this legendary figure has aroused his curiosity more and more, and I really don't know what kind of person this person is? The news media will publicize that he is rare in the world, unparalleled in the world, and if he has the opportunity, he must meet this person.
Seeing Sophia asking, Situ Yushuang nodded slightly: "Yes, this guy will really take advantage of the fire to rob, and when the two strong neighbors in the south and west of Luzon sent troops to Luzon, he quietly sent troops to pick up a fallen peach, controlled the North Luzon region, and is said to have signed a mutual aid agreement with the Luzonians." This guy is really insidious and vicious!" After speaking, Situ Yushuang couldn't help but sigh again.
"That's a good thing, isn't your father even happier that he's captured such a large area for the Empire?" said Sophia with a chuckle.
"Hmph, nominally the territory of the Empire, but the mountains and rivers are far away, and the Empire doesn't think it's equivalent to his own private territory, and it gives him an excuse to reach out to the Empire and ask for money. I'm just worried that my father must not be fascinated by the superficial work done by this guy, and it would be bad to really think that he was a pillar of the empire. Situ Yushuang's words were to the bone, if Wufeng heard it with his own ears, I am afraid he would have to shudder.
"Sister, you always think that this Li Wufeng has ill intentions, but so many important ministers in the court, all of them are shrewd and capable people, and your father and emperor have also been through storms for a long time, can't they see it?" Sophia asked in a soft voice.
Sophia's words made Situ Yushuang stunned, and a thoughtful expression appeared on her face, and she said for a while before she said: "I think the ministers of the DPRK and China, including my brothers, may have thought about this problem, but firstly, this Li Wufeng has made outstanding achievements, and they all want to use him to guard the northwest border, and secondly, they think that if they can control him, it may be all right to confine him in the northwest, not to mention that there is no conclusive evidence to show this Li Wufeng's ambition now, I am afraid that once he is full of wings and cannot control it, it will be a big mistake." ”
"There's a solution to this problem. Sophia smiled mysteriously.
"What's the way?" Situ Yushuang looked incredulous.
"Anyway, sister, you haven't allowed anyone yet, and I heard that that guy hasn't been married yet, why don't you ask your father to marry him and become the royal son-in-law?" Sophia smiled and said the answer.
"You, dead girl, dare to tease my sister, I think it's better to take the opportunity to introduce the two of you to each other, maybe it's really a marriage." Situ Yushuang's face turned red and she fought back.
"How dare you expect this?" A gloomy look flashed on Sophia's face, she also knew that in the upper class of the Tang River Empire, it was a place that was extremely particular about the family, and her previous identity might be reasonable, but now that the country has fallen, she is helpless, and even her own identity is not daring to be exposed, where do you dare to expect anything else?
Situ Yushuang saw that Sophia's face became a little gloomy, and knew the hidden pain that touched her, so she hurriedly encouraged her: "Sister, you don't have to be arrogant, with your talent and family background, as long as you say it, my sister is sure that the young heroes who come to Yanjing to ask for marriage can fill the entire Triumphant Avenue." ”
Although she knew that Situ Yushuang was relieving her heart, Sophia was still amused by her exaggerated statement.
"But sister, I think you can really get in touch with this Li Wufeng, even if you can't be friends, you can also find out what kind of person this person is?" Sophia sincerely proposed.
"Dead girl, here you go again, I don't think it's a problem of me getting in touch with him, but you, are you moved by Chun's heart and want to meet him?" Situ Yushuang's mischievous eyes swirled on Sophia.
Before Sophia could reply, Han Yan next to her continued: "Miss, I think Miss Sophia said it well, you can meet this Li Wufeng, what does it matter if you just meet, what if you are really destined? I heard that His Royal Highness Nine also mentioned this matter last time." "This Hanyan was originally the daughter of a small businessman in Yanjing, but unfortunately her father committed suicide in business, leaving a family behind, and the creditor took the opportunity to force debts, and Hanyan had to be sold into the slave market.
"Don't mention him, I don't know what he thinks, hmph, I'm in charge of my own affairs, even my father has to ask for my opinion first. Situ Yushuang's face darkened.
Seeing that Situ Yushuang had changed color, Sophia and Hanyan didn't dare to mention it again.
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor had arrived at the door, the lightly dressed lady hurriedly bowed, "The concubine greets Your Majesty." ”
"Excuse me, all old husbands and wives, why are you doing so many courtesies?" waved her hand, Situ Mingyue's expression still looked radiant.
"The concubine sees that Your Majesty is in a very good spirit today, what makes Your Majesty so excited?" The lightly dressed lady was very good at observing words and feelings, and asked while taking off her robe for Situ Mingyue.
"It's nothing, don't ask too much about these things in the court. Situ Mingyue gently sat on the side of the bed of the red wood carved plate dragon and phoenix, and let the noble lady loosen his clothes for him.
The two maids who followed in had already closed the curtain separating the inside and outside, and then quietly exited the room.
"Your Majesty, you haven't been here for a long time lately. The sound of a noble lady came from the large bed with the curtain closed.
"Alas, I can't take a break from my busy affairs during this time. Situ Mingyue's voice seemed a little lacking.
"Hmph, don't go to the other guys again. "Delicate voice.
"Who said that? I'm glad you're already the most here. Situ Mingyue felt a little powerless.
"Your Majesty, don't be too tired, beware of being tired, there are ministers to take care of the affairs of the DPRK and China, if you don't worry, you can let Biao'er and them do it. The big bed gradually shook slightly, and a burst of swishing sounds came out.
"Well, Biao'er has been doing very well recently, and she has grown a lot. ”
"Then Your Majesty should let him do more things for you. The voice was a little rapid and slightly wheezing.
"I know. As the bed shook more and more, a burst of babbling moans slowly sounded.
