After being robbed by the prince of the enemy country

"Miss, master has returned home." The servant girl announced at the door.

Wen Rongyu helped the Asuka pearl hairpin on the bun, got up and adjusted the goose yellow skirt, and went to the front hall.

"Father." When she saw Wen Teng, she quickened her pace, walked up to her father, and asked anxiously, "I heard that the emperor is not well. My marriage can't be delayed any longer."

She admired Huaizhen unilaterally, knowing that if the marriage is to be facilitated, the current emperor can only order a marriage. If the emperor dies and the marriage is not granted, no one in Zhongqin can force King Yu to be him. unwilling to do.

Wen Teng also wanted to help the only daughter in the family to the queen's throne in order to glorify the lintel, he patted the back of his daughter's hand, "The Holy Majesty also wants you to be Princess Yu, but there is still an obstacle between you and Huaizhen."

Wen Rongyu asked puzzledly: "Hinder? King Rui has completely fallen, and Empress Zhao is nothing but a grasshopper after losing her prince. What obstacles can there be?"

Wen Teng shook his head lightly, and woke up his daughter: "It's Chu Shao."

"Daddy is overthinking. After Wen Pei's incident, the royal family should no longer allow the prince to marry a man as his official wife."

Wen Pei and Rui Wang were husband and wife for ten years, but in the end they broke up in such an ugly way. It was Wen Pei who personally sent Rui Wang to a desperate situation. Although Rui Wang made mistakes first, it was too cruel and ruthless.

This is undoubtedly a wake-up call to those high and powerful people.

A man and a wife can't have children, so even if they have been together for ten years, when they betray you heartlessly, they will be unrestrained and unrestrained. They will not be like women who are always held back by their children.

If Princess Rui was a woman, these absurd things that King Rui did would not necessarily be exposed in such a way.

Wen Rongyu thought about it: "If he is only an inferior male favorite, it's not like my daughter can't tolerate him."

"Wrong, one day when Chu Shao is here, King Yu won't look at others more." Wen Teng shattered Wen Rongyu's naive imagination, "Half a year ago, Huai Zhen would have given his life to block Chu Qingxu's life." Sword, Chu Shao also has a special affection for Huai Zhen."

When he was in Qizhou, Wen Teng wanted to kill Chu Shao, a hidden danger. He took advantage of King Yu's return to Beijing and sent someone to assassinate Chu Qingxu. He also blocked a sword for Chu Shao.

Of the 10 assassins sent that day, only 1 returned alive. There was blood on his sword. Wen Teng thought it was a successful assassination, but the assassin with the scar on his eye said it was King Yu's blood.

Fortunately, Chu Shao's identity is sensitive, and Huai Zhen didn't delve into the matter, but it was enough to make Wen Teng terrified. At the same time, he was naturally more afraid of Chu Shao.

The real identity of this person is a mystery, and he may also occupy the position of Wen Rongyu's princess.

"Huaizhen is already the only candidate for the crown prince. If you want to ascend to the throne, you must become his first wife. For the glory and wealth of the Wen family, you need to personally remove this obstacle."

Wen Teng held Wen Rongyu's wrist tightly, and said in a low voice: "What the Holy Majesty means is that bestowing marriage can only be icing on the cake, not a gift in the snow."

The implication is that this decree will fall to the Wen family only when Chu Shao is gone.

"...Daughter understands."

-

A few days ago, Huaizhen received a letter from Chu Mingzi, in which it was mentioned that June [-]th was Chu Shao's "birthday". When she was in Suizhou earlier, the Song family often talked about her birthday, saying that it would be a happy event. To hold one, I don't want Chu Shao to return to Beijing with King Yu in a few days.

Song kept mentioning it, and Chu Shao would inevitably remember such a thing in his heart. If this birthday was ignored without pain, it would make him suspicious.

Therefore, Chu Mingzi specially wrote a letter to remind King Yu that although June [-]th was not Chu Shao's real birthday, it was the birthday of the son of the Chu family in Suizhou, and he had to do a full set of plays.

It is not easy to hold a big birthday party in Beijing, but it is necessary to make Chu Shao happy on this day.

Huaizhen took this matter to heart, and sent someone to purchase it as soon as June came. Now that the emperor is seriously ill, it is not easy to publicize it in the prince's mansion, so he just plans to invite a few close friends in Beijing to have a small banquet.

On the day of his birthday, Prince Yu's Mansion became lively.

"My lord, His Royal Highness the Xian Wang sent a gift."

The envoy from Huazhou got off his horse and presented a gift box to Chu Shao and Huai Zhen with both hands.

The envoy said: "His Royal Highness, I wish you a happy birthday, Mr. Chu."

"It's for me?" Chu Shao was flattered. He and this virtuous king had never met before, and they knew each other because of Huai Zhen. Unexpectedly, this prince would give him a birthday present.

He opened the gift box and saw that it was an ivory engraved golden jade pen, which was extremely exquisite and luxurious, but it was easy to hold.

"My lord has read the play written by Mr. Chu, and praised Mr. Chu's wonderful pen, so I found this pen as a gift."

After the downfall of King Rui, the play satirizing the Prince of Color was widely sung in Zhongqin, and it even spread to Huazhou.

The messenger also said: "His Royal Highness also gave the pen a nickname, called 'Made Hao'." "

Chu Shao suddenly heard Huai Zhen laugh twice, not knowing why.

Huai Zhen woke up and said, "Ma Dehao, good scolding."

Chu Shao: "......" His Royal Highness is really free enough.

In the play, Chu Shao did use the words of the characters to bitterly state the crimes of King Rui, and the sarcasm was to the point. He thought that the royal brothers would avoid suspicion, but this virtuous king did not think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, so he specially found a golden pen Come to support Chu Shao.

The gift was so expensive that he didn't dare to accept it for a while, so Huaizhen closed the gift box for him, and said: "This king just casually mentioned in the letter that you are celebrating your birthday, but Huaixuan remembered it so clearly. You just keep it."

Chu Shao was taken aback for a moment, and then his ears turned red—does His Highness often mention me to King Xian?

The relationship between Huaizhen and Huaixuan is very good. There are two or three letters exchanged every month. I thought they were discussing business matters, but I didn't expect it to be chatter?

Thinking of Huaizhen mentioning himself as a close person to his close relatives in a letter, Chu Shao felt sweet all over his body as if drinking honey.

He gladly accepted the golden pen, and said to the envoy of Huazhou: "Please thank His Highness Xianwang for me."

The envoy only knew that there was a close person beside King Yu, and he didn't want this person to be so kind and gentle, so he cupped his hands and said: "My lord, you are polite, I will definitely convey it to you."

"The prince also said that when His Royal Highness Yu Wang gets married, he will come to Beijing to congratulate him in person."

Chu Shao's ears turned redder!

Huai Zhen smiled and said, "Your Royal Highness is also the most active when drinking wedding wine."

The emperor is seriously ill, and the throne is hanging high. The virtuous king is not in a hurry to go back to Beijing to grab a grab, but is thinking about drinking the wedding wine.

Huaizhen beckoned for the envoys to enter the mansion for hospitality.

As soon as the Xian King's gift was delivered to the mansion, Wen Ting, the second son of Lord Zhen Guo, brought the gift over.

"His Royal Highness is overjoyed. Lu Bai is sick in bed and cannot come to congratulate him in person. He specially asked the minister to bring generous gifts to wish Young Master Chu a happy birthday."

Chu Shao hurriedly returned a salute, and then asked: "Lu Bai is still in bed?"

"He suffered ten years of grievances in Prince Rui's Mansion, how can he be brought back in just half a month? But the prince and Mr. Chu don't need to worry, he is now guarding the clouds and seeing the moon, and his body will be fine."

Wen Pei has two older brothers and one older sister. He is the youngest in his family. It is no exaggeration to say that he was raised by the entire Duke's family.

Such a jewel in the palm was bullied, and the whole family naturally hated Ruiwang's party with the same hatred, and they were grateful to Yuwang's mansion for saving Wen Pei from the sea of ​​suffering.

"My lord has shown great kindness to my Wen family. If there is something useful in the future, the Duke of Zhenguo will definitely help me with all my strength."

Zhen Guogong is the head of the military officers, and today he used Wen Ting's mouth to express his position. Soon, most of the military officers in the court will follow the Wen family and stand in King Yu's camp.

Huaizhen already had military power in his hands, but now he has harvested a group of important officials in Beijing through this incident, and his wings have become fuller.

Those who sincerely came to congratulate are the seventh-rank officials from various states and counties who have loved their daughters very much.

Although it was just a small banquet, now that Prince Yu's Mansion is in power, there are quite a few people who take this opportunity to flatter and flatter.

Outsiders don't know the twists and turns, but they only know that Chu Shao is very popular with King Yu now, and giving him gifts can never go wrong.

When Wen Rongyu got off the sedan chair, he saw the nobles from Kyoto gathered at the gate of the palace, all of them flattering the upstarts.

It is reasonable to flatter King Yu, and she also came to flatter her.

But standing next to King Yu was Chu Qingxu.

She squeezed the silk handkerchief tightly in her hand, remembering what her father said, if she didn't do anything else, the people in Jingdu would be the same as the people in Suizhou, acquiescing that Chu Shao is Princess Yu!

She purposely waited in the sedan chair until there were fewer people at the door, then gracefully walked up to Huai Zhen and bowed.

She is dressed gorgeously and eye-catchingly today, with a butterfly hairpin dotted with precious stones and gold on her head, and tassels rattling with her steps. If the mandarin duck jade pendant stands next to Huai Zhen, it will look like the master of the palace.

Huai Zhen frowned, she was dressed too ostentatiously, it was already considered over the limit in the palace.

After all, he didn't say much, accepted the gift she brought, and then led Miss Wen into the banquet.

He led Chu Shao into the mansion together.

This indifferent and alienated attitude made Wen Rong speechless. She reached out to touch her hair, and asked the maid beside her in a low voice: "How am I dressed today?"

"Miss is better than a fairy."

"Since it's more beautiful than a fairy, why doesn't the prince want to look at it more?"

The servant girl made up and said: "Today is the birthday of Mr. Chu, maybe the prince's thoughts are all on him?"

"...Are you saying that in the heart of the lord, I lost to a subjugated pariah like Chu Qingxu?"

"Your maidservant didn't mean that!" The servant girl was so anxious that she wanted to cry.

Wen Rongyu supported the butterfly hairpin with his hand, and said coldly: "Don't be ashamed in the palace, when you go back, you will get fifty slaps in the face!"
