Twilight Cloud Returns

Chapter 68 Official Court Meeting

Wuqing wondered, "The Xiongnu Shanyu and the Holy Maiden didn't even go anywhere, why is the Holy Majesty so anxious?"

Yun Chuxiu dropped a black spot, and said: "This is just a cover. In fact, it is a line of defense set up by the Holy Majesty to prevent the local officials from getting too close with the Beijing officials. No matter whether people or things come in and out, they need to be strictly checked. , Those who want to secretly pass the song will lose their chance."

Reminiscent of Xue Liandao and Liang Cai's close contacts, Wuqing understood instantly, and said, "You mean...Miss Xue was tied into the plan of the two?"

After finishing speaking, he denied what he just said, "Tiger poison doesn't eat children, Governor Xue loves his daughter so much, he will never let his only daughter take such a risk... Besides, if it is true to pass the news, there is no need to cause a storm in the city , everyone knows that Miss Xue was kidnapped by gangsters."

Yun Chuxiu picked up the teacup on the side, took a sip, and said, "The analysis is good. So the key to this is that something went awry and turned into a kidnapping case, but in the end it ended up being useless." ..."

While he was chattering, Wuqing took the opportunity to drop the white piece on the chessboard, and said playfully, "Nearly beat your son-in-law."

It was only then that Yun Chuxiu recalled that there was still a game of chess. Seeing that he had suffered a crushing defeat, he regretted the past. He looked up and saw the complacency that Wuqing couldn't hide, and he understood at once——this cunning cat deliberately used Xue Wanjun's incident to attract him. Distract yourself!

He looked Wuqing up and down, thinking about when this person learned these tricks...

Wuqing was stared at by him a little hairy, fearing that he would go back on his word, he said in a panic: "Your...a gentleman's word, a horse is hard to follow...you can't go back on your word..."

Yun Chuxiu smiled and said, "Of course I don't regret it."

He got up and honestly packed the chessboard, blew out the lights beside him, and hugged Wuqing onto the bed without any explanation.

Wuqing scratched him, and the soft moonlight shone on his profile, showing his anger.

"You bastard! You don't believe what you say!" Wuqing scolded.

Yun Chuxiu's tall body lay on top of him, and she argued: "You won, so I didn't say crazy words."

"But..." Wuqing is not the shameless Yun Chuxiu, he can't say anything like abstinence, his little face is flushed.

Yun Chuxiu was like a roundworm in his stomach, and said rascally: "I lost, and I didn't let you win. Why don't we just change our positions?"

It was only then that Wuqing suddenly realized that this guy had already made up his mind, no matter whether he wins or loses, he has a long list of reasons, no matter what tonight, he can't escape.

Wu Qingqi didn't turn over enough books by himself, he muttered dissatisfiedly: "Shameless!"

Yun Chuxiu bit his pink lips, and said with a playful smile: "If you talk about your husband like that, he will take revenge!"

So, Wuqing lay passively on the bed all night, enduring Zhihuo's forceful attack.

It wasn't until the sky was slightly bright that he felt that the thing was withdrawn from his body.

Wuqing was so tired that he was dizzy.

Yun Chuxiu didn't know where she got the energy to be able to speak nonsense at this moment.He leaned close to Wuqing's ear, and whispered softly, "Ah Qing, what's the prize for the next chess game?"

If Wuqing had the strength, he would have scolded sonorously and powerfully: "Don't even think about playing chess again in this life!"

The next day, Shi Ning, the governor of Liangzhou, said that the saint of the Xiongnu was ill and could not stay in the hotel, and the Xiongnu Shanyu asked to postpone the time of entering Beijing.

Having said all of this, Chu Tiankuo had no choice but to comply with the Xiongnu Shanyu's request.

Chu Mohen's face showed a dignified expression, and he visited Prince Yun's mansion.

He said quickly: "What kind of tricks is China Simo Chun playing again?"

All the spies deployed in Guyong City have been withdrawn, and Yun Chuxiu has no way of knowing.

He asked heavily: "Is there any reply from Ning Hanqing?"

Chu Mohen shook his head, "He has prepared his army in case of a surprise attack."

"The border is unstable now. For this meeting of hundreds of officials, the emperor specially approved Liang Governor Shi not to have an audience. It seems that I will be a general in the court, and I will have to go to the border to sit in town in the near future."

As the date of Xiongnu Shan Yu's entry to Beijing was postponed, the ban on inns and post stations had to be terminated.

Xue Liandao breathed a sigh of relief, holding the note that fell from Jun Jun's waistband in his hand, it said: Someone is secretly investigating, be careful.

After reading it, throw it into the brazier.

Who in the court is eyeing him?

On the eighth day of April, the Baiguan Court Meeting was held as usual.

Yun Chuxiu got up early in the mansion, wearing the official uniform of a first-class loyal and brave man.

Wuqing put the last big belt on his waist, said: "It's the first time I saw you have a serious experience, it looks good..."

Yun Chuxiu was obviously dissatisfied with his evaluation, and said with a slap in the face, "It's just okay? My lord's extraordinary appearance, at least to say the least."

Wuqing was too lazy to argue with this person, so he said perfunctorily: "Okay, ok, ok, ok, ok..."

He pushed Zhi and walked out, "Hurry up, it's already dawn, or the court meeting will be late."

Yun Chuxiu subconsciously touched her waist, frowned and said, "Where's the concentric knot?"

With the same heart knot in Wuqing's hands, he said brokenly: "Today is an important day, so don't take it with you, lest your colleagues laugh at your dignified loyal and brave man, and bring these children's love things with you..."

Yun Chuxiu turned around and snatched the concentric knot from him, tied it tightly around his waist, and said wildly: "What does my father like to wear, who does he like, and what does it have to do with them?"

He said firmly to Wuqing: "This sympathetic knot, I not only wear it today, but I will never leave it in the future. People are with it."

Wu Qing really had nothing to do with him, so he pushed and said: "Okay, okay, everyone in the world knows that your little father-in-law has a deep love... If you don't leave, it will be too late..."

Only then did Yun Chuxiu go out with her head held high.

Wuqing stayed where she was, savoring the rambunctious words this man said just now, a warm current rippling in her heart.

Jianzhang Palace.

Yun Chuxiu was drowsy after listening to the nonsense reports from various state governments all morning.

Finally, before noon, the boring morning was over.

Chu Tiankuo held a banquet in Jianzhang Palace and had fun with his officials.

The queen mother also walked out from the harem and accompanied her.

Yun Chuxiu glanced at Rong Pingju opposite him from the corner of his eye.The pain of losing a son was like a huge blow to him, and he was so decadent that it was good to be able to barely hold on to the court meeting.

On the other hand, Zhao Darong supported all the important responsibilities of the Rong family by himself, and he was able to handle all the bureaucrats with ease.

Rong Changkun is dead, and Zhao Darong has obviously become the pillar of the Rong clan.

Many people took the initiative to come here to curry favor, boasting that the doctors of Guanglu Temple are talented, young and promising, and given time, they will surely become a blockbuster.

These flattering words fell into Yun Chuxiu's ears, but they gave him goosebumps.

Zhao Darong has a few catties and a few taels, doesn't he have a point in his heart?

The little eunuch serving beside him filled Yun Chuxiu with wine. He raised the wine bottle and met Xue Liandao's eyes. Yun Chuxiu wanted to use the wine to apologize for what happened to Xue Wanjun before, but the arrogant Xue Liandao would not give it to him at all. This opportunity!

Yun Chuxiu was a little helpless, and Chu Mohen saw it from the side, and joked: "Our little father-in-law has hit a wall? Master Xue has spoken harshly, even if the little father-in-law comes to the door to apologize in person, he will not Do not accept!"

Yun Chuxiu drooped her head and said, "Little Huangshu, don't make fun of me..."

Jing Zhaoyin and Liangcai toasted Xue Liandao, and they both drank the cup to the brim.

Serving beside Xue Liandao was Xiao Zhongzi, and sitting opposite Xue Liandao was Wei Guoan.

Xiao Zhongzi was happy for his brother from the bottom of his heart when he saw his brother dressed in military uniform and looking heroic.

Wei Guoan gave him a smile back, and Xiao Zhongzi only felt that he had no regrets in this life.

He just stared at his elder brother, completely forgot to pour wine for Xue Liandao, and was reprimanded: "How can you be a bad boy?"

Xiao Zhongzi apologized again and again, knelt on the ground and carefully poured wine for Xue Liandao in an extremely humble posture.

This scene just rightly fell into Wei Guoan's eyes—it turned out that he was such a servant in the palace on weekdays, and his beloved brother, who he held in his palm, became a slave serving others.

Wei Guoan's heart was aching.

He raised his wine glass, stepped forward to rescue his younger brother, and respectfully said to Xue Liandao: "I heard that Mr. Xue ruled Wufu and Minfeng, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Today, I am honored to meet you. I hope that Mr. Xue will not dislike you as an official, and drink to your heart's content." This cup is to show the reverence of the officials."

Vice-General Wei, the upstart in the capital, toasted him. Xue Lian said that even if he looked down on his commoner background, none of them could refute the Holy Majesty's face today.

Xue Lian said with a smile, "Master Wei, what are you talking about? Master Wei fought the enemy bravely on the battlefield to keep our borders safe, and only then can Yangzhou have the political harmony it has today."

The two hugged each other in a few words, and no one cared about what mistakes a little eunuch made.Xiao Zhongzi finally breathed a sigh of relief...

In the past, when encountering such things that made the master unhappy, he often took responsibility, lay on the bed in the verandah room and couldn't get up, and was whipped by Liang Deying, which was called a discipline.

Now my elder brother has returned with all his achievements and fame.

The elder brother will shield him from the wind and rain, and no one dares to bully him again.

Xiao Zhongzi's nose was sour with relief.

After drinking for three rounds, the Empress Dowager suddenly spoke out and said kindly: "Xue Aiqing, has Mr. Wan arrived in the capital?"

Xue Liandao was suddenly mentioned by the queen mother, and he quickly got up and bent over and said, "If you go back to the queen mother, the little girl has already arrived in the capital."

"This child Wanjun, the Ai family has met before, he is handsome and intelligent, knowledgeable and courteous."

Let the queen mother and old hag praise her so much, basically nothing good will happen.Yun Chuxiu was thinking in her heart, only to hear the queen mother continue: "There are only two sons under the Ai family's knees, the emperor is concentrating on government affairs, and the harem is reluctant to step in; let alone Zhi Huan, who is very playful, and none of them let the Ai family save heart!"

Hearing the empress dowager scolding him so much, Chu Tiankuo had no choice but to say: "It's the son's fault for letting the empress mother worry about it."

Yun Chuxiu was still in charge and said: "Mother, don't worry about it, you can rest easy!"

"You little cunning!" Naturally, the queen mother would not be angry at what he said, but pretended to be innocuous, she still needs to play her role as a loving mother in front of outsiders.

She turned sharply and returned to Xue Wanjun, "Xue Aiqing, the Ai family loves this child very much, and it happens that the Ai family has no daughter, so why not let the Ai family accept Wan Jun as a righteous daughter, so that the Ai family can also enjoy a daughter in this life." Qingfu on the side."
