After being given a marriage to a rival

Chapter 76

Hey, the dog prince must not have taken a fancy to his purse.

??Look carefully, his little rabbit is indeed cuter than his little unicorn.

?? I could have borrowed him to touch it, but Yun Yang felt inexplicably uncomfortable when he thought of the orchid purse surnamed Su hidden on Yuan Li's body.

??Anyway, he doesn't like people surnamed Su. Since the dog prince only wants to be his sweetheart, why should he covet his things.

?? Yuan Li frowned lightly: "This purse——"

?? Yun Yang immediately clutched her small purse tightly and put it in her sleeve.

?? "My purse is very pretty, much prettier than any other flowers and plants."

?? The boy raised his chin and said proudly.

?? The sudden dizziness in Yuan Li's mind disappeared quickly, and he couldn't help but wonder why when he saw the purse, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in his subconscious.

??The heart is also like being held by a huge force, close to suffocation.

??Comparison is a routine for teenagers, and the princes and princesses headed by Yuan Lu and Yuan Fei have come to Yun Yang's side to see Yun Yang's purse.Because they attend the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet every year and receive the same rewards from the Empress Dowager every year, they have seen each other's wallets, and there is no novelty for a long time.

??They were all curious about what Yun Yang's purse looked like.

?? Yun Yang generously took it out and showed it to them.

?? Then there were many praises: "What a cute little rabbit, the emperor's grandmother is really eccentric, she is willing to use the precious ice silk to embroider the rabbit for the princess, and use the most precious blood jade to make the rabbit's eyes. Embroidered with the most common silver thread."

?? "Compared with the little rabbit of the princess, our embroidery pattern is really ordinary."

?? Yuan Lu said sourly: "There is no way, who made the emperor's grandmother love Yunyang? The prince's brother's little unicorn is still embroidered with more precious gold and jade threads, and Su Yu's and eldest brother's are not bad. If you marry in the future As Xiao Xiyue is the princess, the imperial grandmother will definitely use the most expensive embroidery thread to embroider purses for you."

??Yun Yang felt very useful in his heart, and said modestly: "Your ones are not bad."

?? At this time Yuan Lu suddenly said: "Hey, Yunyang, don't you have a lot of pastries hidden in your little bag, can you share some with me?"

?? "Little burden? What little burden?"

??The princes and princesses chattered and became interested in the legendary pastries.

??Yun Yang's expression changed, and he moved forward subconsciously, blocking the small burden under the case, and forced himself to be calm: "Of course not, the banquet has not officially started yet, so there is no reason to steal it."

??Everyone can only disperse angrily.

?? However, although the boy moved quickly, he still couldn't escape Yuan Li's sight.

?? Yuan Li narrowed his eyes, thoughtfully, and then called the palace servants around him, and whispered a few words.

??The palace man showed obvious surprise, but still respectfully accepted the order.

?? At this time, a clear voice sounded in the hall:

?? "This object is called Shoushan Stone, and it has been enshrined in my Shuoyue royal court. It is cared for by wizards and goddesses every day. Today, Yuheng is dedicated to the Queen Mother on behalf of Shuoyue. I wish the Queen Mother a blessing like the East Sea and a longer life than Nanshan."

??Huyan Yuheng was dressed in a luxurious gold robe, with a long body standing tall, and bowed down to pay respects to the Empress Dowager.

??Because the Shuoyue Mission completed the peace talks with Dajing in a humble manner under the leadership of the second prince, and because he was tall, handsome, humble and polite, everyone in the palace had a good impression of him.

?? Hearing this, he praised it.

??The queen mother also ordered happily, saying: "The second prince has a heart, reward."

??The palace man immediately poured a glass of delicious wine and handed it to Huyan Yuheng.

??The queen mother said: "I heard that you Hu people like to drink this wine. The second prince has a taste. How does my Dajing wine taste better than your hometown?"

Huyan Yuheng took it respectfully, and suddenly turned to look at the seat on the left, and said with a smile: "This glass of wine, Yuheng wants to respect Changsheng Wang and his wife."

??Many ministers showed subtle expressions.

??Changsheng Wang and his wife led the northern army to repeatedly defeat Shuoyue cavalry in the northern border. To a certain extent, they were deadly enemies with Shuoyue.Although Shuoyue was defeated, his hands were stained with the blood of the northern border army.

??No matter how magnanimous they are, as coaches, it is impossible for Changsheng Wang and his wife to have a good impression of Shuoyue.

??The second prince suddenly wants to drink with Changsheng Wang and his wife. It's hard not to make people have other associations, such as provocation.

Yun Qingyang and Nie Wenyuan looked at each other, Nie Wenyuan lifted the wine cup, got up gracefully, and said with a smile: "My husband, the second prince, has a good plan and command, and the old injury is not healed, so I can't drink. This glass of wine is up to me Come drink with the second prince."

??The eyes of the two sides collided, and in the world that outsiders could not understand, the flames blazed.

?? Nie Wenyuan almost couldn't control the button on the wrist armor.Yun Qingyang gently shook his wife's hand, signaling her to calm down.

?? Everyone's expressions changed slightly.

?? How do you listen to the meaning of Princess Changsheng? This Huyan Yuheng also participated in the battle against Dajing?

?? It is a bit too much to let the couple drink with him like this.The expressions of ministers and wives looking at Huyan Yuheng instantly changed from admiration to condemnation.

?? At the seat on the right, Yun Yang couldn't control himself and squeezed the wine glass in his hand.

?? No matter how sweet fruit wine is, it can't eliminate the disgust, hatred, and helplessness in the young man's heart.

?? so that a little prince on the side reminded in a low voice: "Crown Princess, your wine has spilled."

??Huyan Yuheng glanced at the seat on the right intentionally or unintentionally, then raised the corner of his mouth, and met Nie Wenyuan's eyes again: "Princess praise. All of this is due to..."

??He paused deliberately.

?? Nie Wenyuan's heart suddenly picked up, for fear that he would reveal the old account in public.

?? "—thanks to the prince and concubine's acceptance."

?? Huyan Yuheng finally just said a polite word.

Nie Wenyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled coldly: "On the battlefield, you are the only one who lives and dies, and there is no promise. Shuoyue had better keep his promise, otherwise, our northern border army will definitely let you go and never return. Keep!"

?? There was no ceremony, and the two parties directly drank the wine in their glasses.

?? After Huyan Yuheng put down the wine glass, he suddenly moved his lips and said something silently with his lips.

??Nie Wenyuan didn't see it clearly for a moment, and after sitting down, she said to Yun Qingyang: "I don't know why, since I entered the palace today, I have always felt a little uneasy."

??Yun Qingyang comforted: "I heard that before the birthday banquet, Shuo Yue had officially signed the peace agreement. Once the agreement is signed, there is absolutely no room for change. Don't worry too much."

?? Nie Wenyuan nodded, hoping that she was overly nervous.

??A festive birthday song sounded, and the dancers walked into the hall with lotus steps lightly.

??The queen mother ordered the palace people to distribute the remaining wine to the princes and princesses. Because there was not much left, each person could only get a glass.When he arrived in front of Yun Yang, the palace man in charge of distributing the wine suddenly became unsteady and spilled all the wine on the young man's robe.

??The wine liquid is thick in color, and today Yun Yang is wearing a silver-white round-neck brocade robe specially ordered by Zhou Polu to be newly cut.

?? The palace man hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty.

?? Yun Yang was also a little unhappy, but he still said generously: "It's okay, you can get up."

?? At this time, another palace man came over and bowed towards Yunyang: "Your servant will take the princess to change into clean clothes."

??Yun Yang hesitated for a while, because his little baggage was still hidden under the case, what if he walked away and was found out.But if he didn't change his clothes, it would be rude for him to sit here with a big piece of dark purple wine on his chest.

?? Really worry ah.

?? "This wine is dark in color, and it may not be easy to wash after a long time."

??The palace man thoughtfully said: "Is the princess worried about food and drink? The servant can let Gong'e come over to take care of the princess, and she will never let anyone touch her."

?? This reminded Yun Yang.

??At the banquet, to prevent someone from poisoning maliciously, all the food and drink must be strictly inspected, and a special palace official will be assigned to taste the food and wine at each table.

?? There are palace guards here, and others will never approach his food case easily in order to avoid suspicion. Naturally, they will not be able to find the little burden he hides under the case.

??Yun Yang nodded: "Let her come over and watch over me."

?? Soon a round-faced lady came quickly and stood respectfully at the table.

?? Yun Yang just got up, and went to change clothes with the palace man without worry.

?? The guard behind Yuan Lichao gave a wink, the guard understood, strode over, and said to Gong'e: "His Royal Highness's cloak is in the princess's bag, order me to fetch it."

??Gong E glanced at the case first, but didn't see it, and heard the guard say: "It's under the case."

??Gong E looked down at the case, and sure enough, she saw a small brocade bundle, so she didn't suspect him, and respectfully moved out of the way.

?? She is responsible for watching the food and drink. As long as there is no problem with the food and drink, she will complete the task. Besides, it is reasonable for the prince to take something from the princess, and she has no courage to stop it.

??Yun Yang came back after changing her clothes, and saw that Gong'e was still standing where she was dutifully.

?? asked: "Well, no one has moved?"

?? Gong E smiled and said: "Don't worry, the princess, the slaves have been guarding here, and no one dares to touch these wine and food."

??Yun Yang naturally doesn't really care about food and drink.

??Yun Yang sat down, glanced under the case, and was completely relieved when he saw that his little baggage was intact.

??Nie Wenyuan learned of the situation here, got up and left the table, and brought her glass of wine over.

??Yun Yang took a sip and nodded: "It's really delicious, thank you, Concubine Mu."

?? Nie Wenyuan silently rubbed her son's head.

??Seeing that the youngest son's mood is still stable, and he didn't overreact to that person's arrival, Fang felt relieved.

??Nie Wenyuan asked: "Where is the purse that the Queen Mother gave you? This time, put it away carefully, so as not to lose it again."

?? Yun Yang wondered: "Lost it?"

"Yes, when you were young, you followed me back to Beijing to attend the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet. The Empress Dowager once rewarded you with a purse embroidered with little rabbits. Unexpectedly, you were so playful that you lost it."

?? Yun Yang had no impression at all, and said: "Mother, don't worry, the baby will definitely not be lost this time."

??Nie Wenyuan raised her eyebrows and nodded, getting up to leave.

??Yun Yang suddenly called out: "Concubine Mother."

?? Nie Wenyuan turned her head: "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

??Yun Yang felt sour, and he wanted to cry a lot, but he knew he couldn't lose the chain at this time, so he squeezed his fists and said calmly, "It's okay, but I suddenly feel homesick and miss my elder brother."

Nie Wenyuan's heart softened, and she said softly: "Wait a little longer, when the northern border is completely stabilized, I will try to ask His Majesty to let you go home."

??Yun Yang nodded.

??In order to make the Empress Dowager happy, the Ministry of Internal Affairs specially invited the most famous folk opera troupe to set up a stage to sing by the Taiye Pool.In addition, various interesting small games such as throwing pots and shooting rings are prepared in the open space next to it for the princes and princesses to play.

?? Yun Yang stayed in the palace on the pretext of being drunk because he wanted to watch his own little burden.

?? Yuan Lu and Yuan Fei were afraid that he would be bored, so they called Wu Zhongxun and others over to play the Shuanglu game together.

??Outside the hall, Cong Ying walked through the crowd and quietly came to Yuan Li's side, with an anxious expression: "Your Highness, it's not good, that person is gone."

?? Yuan Li frowned: "What do you mean missing?"

?? Cong Ying was ashamed: "The subordinates led Wei Qi and others, and followed them in secret. But when they arrived at a willow forest along the Taiye Lake, the man suddenly disappeared. The subordinates searched After a round, no trace of it was found. It is impossible for a living person to disappear out of thin air, and my subordinates suspect..."

?? "Suspect he escaped from the water?"

"My subordinates are not sure, but Taiye Pond is connected to the moat outside the city. Apart from this, there is no second escape route. This subordinate has asked Wei Qi to take people to the moat, hoping to stop it."

?? Yuan Li's face turned cold.

?? "He is a barbarian from the North, how can he be proficient in water!"

?? Cong Ying was taken aback: "Your Highness, do you suspect that he did not escape from the Taiye Pond. However, my subordinates searched all around, but did not find any trace of this person."

??Yuan Li: "Did other people pass by the Taiye Pool at that time?"

"That place is remote, and the palace people are busy with the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet tonight, so they seldom go there..." Cong Ying thought for a while, then suddenly said: "By the way, when my subordinate just came here, I saw the willow tree by the pool. There is a person standing there, it seems to be Mr. Su."

?? Cong Ying looked at Yuan Li's face. "That place... seems to be the place where His Highness fell into the water."

??The lively drama was still babbling on the stage, but Yuan Li felt that his heart was squeezed by a huge force again.

??For a moment, the biting cold, the futile struggle, and the suffocation of the icy water pouring into the abdominal cavity of the seven orifices like a torrent of grassy smell, all flooded into my mind.

?? A dark and despairing darkness.

??In the darkness, a crisp voice sounded: "Brother, I'm here to save you..."

?? "I'm here to save you..."

?? He tried to open his eyes, trying to see the source of the sound, but the only response to him was sinking and suffocating. With all his strength, he grabbed a round object.

?? He remembered this kind of touch, which was just rewarded by the emperor's grandmother not long ago, a purse containing golden beans.

?? Yuan Li's heart ached again.

?? Cong Ying looked at his face dripping with cold sweat suddenly, and his bent body, and exclaimed: "Your Highness!"

??Yuan Li gritted his teeth, put his fist against his heart, stood up straight with difficulty, and ordered in a low voice: "Don't say anything, take Gu's token to find Commander Xiao of the Imperial Guard, and ask him to try to transfer some more manpower to you. The palace was searched inside and out. Tell him that this matter can only be done in secret, and the Holy Majesty and the Empress Dowager must not be alarmed."

?? Cong Ying's expression turned cold: "This subordinate obeys."

??Yuan Li did not go far away, nor did he go to Taiye Pool to investigate the situation, but found Zhou Polu who was listening to the opera among the crowd.

?? Zhou Polu warmly greeted Yuan Li: "Ah, this is Your Highness?"

?? Yuan Li said succinctly: "If I want to see Princess Changsheng, please ask Vice General Zhou to lead the way."

??Deputy General Zhou thought he had heard it wrong, but seeing that the other party's serious expression did not seem to be fake, he immediately became serious as well. "Okay, wait a moment, Your Highness."

?? Nie Wenyuan was also a little surprised, pondered for a moment, found a reason to get up, let Zhou Polu lead the way, and arrived at the meeting place agreed by Yuan Li - a side hall of Rongshou Hall.

?? Nie Wenyuan looked at the young man standing in the dim light and asked, "Your Highness looking for me?"

??"yes."

?? Yuan Li staggered his body and pointed to the round table behind him: "Can the princess know these things?"

??There is an open brocade package on the round table.

??Nie Wenyuan was confused at first, but when she saw the clothes, bath cream, pills, and various small objects in the package, she finally changed her color.

?? "Your Highness, what does this mean?"

??Yuan Li: "This is Gu's replacement from that little thing."

?? Nie Wenyuan was startled suddenly: "It was exchanged from Yang Yang?"

?? Yuan Li nodded: "That's right, Gu doesn't know these pills. Presumably, they should be the medicines he often takes. The princess thinks that when he enters the palace to attend a banquet, he brings such a small bag containing all kinds of belongings. , for what?"

??Nie Wenyuan was taken aback.

??Yuan Li: "The purpose of making an appointment with the princess here is to be open and honest with her. I have some evidence that I know that there is something wrong between that little thing and the people of Shuoyue, to be precise, with the prince of Shuoyue." It’s a secret to tell people. Yunwuyunliu dare not say it, the princess should understand the pros and cons of it.”

?? "You took away cloud five and cloud six."

??Nie Wenyuan was naturally shocked.

?? However, she has led the army all year round, and her extraordinary psychological quality and adaptability are enough to calm her down quickly.

??She didn't know how much Yuan Li knew about the situation, whether he was deliberately defrauding her at this moment, or whether he really had real evidence.This matter is not only related to the safety of the central government, but also to the safety of the entire Changsheng Palace, how could she easily spit it out.

??Nie Wenyuan said slowly: "Since your Highness has such a chance of winning, why come to me? Wouldn't it be more satisfactory to directly present the evidence before His Majesty, and ask His Majesty to make a verdict?"

?? "May I ask the emperor to rule?"

?? Yuan Li twitched the corner of his mouth: "Please ask the father to make a ruling, which is equivalent to asking the San Judicial Department to make a ruling. The princess feels that the people of the San Judicial Department will simply think that this matter is just a young son who has been weak since childhood and rarely goes out of the house. Is there a problem with private communication with Prince Shuoyue? The world will only think that Changsheng Palace and Prince Shuoyue have a private connection. The princess will not know that a family of generals guarding the country secretly communicated with the enemy prince. What are the consequences?"

"Gu is looking for the princess because he wants to solve the crisis tonight. If Gu wants to make trouble, there are countless ways. Time is running out, where should I go, please give Gu an answer."

?? Nie Wenyuan's heart sank.

?? She never expected that this disaster did not come out of Huyan Yuheng's mouth, but Yuan Li took hold of it instead.

??Does she want to trust this person?

??What is Yuan Li's purpose in doing this? He clearly can use this to deal a heavy blow to the Changsheng Palace, but he invites her here.

??Nie Wenyuan looked at the pills in the brocade bundle, feeling troubled for the first time in her life.

?? There were six bottles of heart disease pills in the bag, and most of them were newly brought from the north this time.Is this why the youngest son suddenly asked her for pills?

??Where will the youngest son go without telling everyone?Why didn't she even tell her mother concubine?

??Nie Wenyuan couldn't help but think of Yun Yang's various anomalies since they met.

?? At this time, Cong Ying's voice sounded outside: "Your Highness."

?? Yuan Li nodded: "Come in."

?? When Cong Ying saw Nie Wenyuan in red in the palace, she was stunned for a while. Seeing that Yuan Li had no intention of letting the other party avoid him, Fang Qianqian whispered: "This subordinate and Commander Xiao have searched all the palaces and corners of the palace. No trace of that person was found."

?? Yuan Li nodded.

??Looking at Nie Wenyuan again: "The princess should have heard it all. Tonight, at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, the eldest prince of Shuoyue Kingdom disguised himself as a palace man, sneaked into the palace, and kept a communication distance with that little thing all the time. Now But it suddenly disappeared as if the world had evaporated. And that little thing was uncharacteristically, and went to the banquet with a burden. How about a bet with the princess?"

?? Nie Wenyuan asked: "What?"

?? Yuan Li: "Lonely gambling, lonely princess, I'm afraid she will elope with someone."

??Nie Wenyuan's eyes changed.

?? Yuan Li: "If Gu wins the bet, the princess will cooperate with Gu in this game, how about it?"

?? If someone else heard this, they might have been in chaos, but Nie Wenyuan only slightly sullen.

?? After a long time, she raised her extremely beautiful and resolute face illuminated by the candlelight, and said, "Okay."

??————

??Thick clouds gradually covered the moonlight, and it was already late at night when the birthday banquet ended.

??Everyone dispersed one after another. Yuan Lu and Yuan Fei were also picked up by the concubine Ban. Yun Yang sat in the empty hall, not knowing that Yuan Li had reached a consensus with Nie Wenyuan on the other side.

??The sadness of parting and the fear of the road ahead caught the boy off guard.

??The young man was sad, and at the same time worried about how he would send Uncle Zhou away later and meet up with that person.

??Thinking of that face that always had a wicked smile on it, Yun Yang's body trembled uncontrollably.

??The palace people saw that the princess was sitting alone in the palace, and there was no one to accompany her, so she came over to ask concerned: "The imperial dining room has prepared supper. Would the princess want some?"

??The young man shook his head with red eyes, and his eyelashes were crystal clear.

?? So the palace people feel even more distressed.

The palace people thought that it must be because the prince did not come to pick up the princess, that the princess was so sad. After all, everyone knew about the grievances between the East Palace and Changsheng Palace.

??The palace man asked: "Where are the guards of the Crown Princess? Do you need a servant to call them?"

?? As soon as the voice fell, Zhou Polu walked in.

??Zhou Polu digested the heavy news he just heard from the princess, and tried not to let himself show any abnormalities.

?? "Ha, the carriage is ready, Xiao Shizi hurry up and leave the palace with his subordinates, the gate of the palace will be closed soon."

?? Zhou Polu made a relaxed look, pretending to be blind, pretending not to see the boy's red eyes.

??Yun Yang nodded, trying to speak calmly: "I'm suddenly thirsty and want to drink pear soup, can uncle go to the dining room and bring me a bowl?"

?? Zhou Polu's heart skipped a beat.

?? It's not really what he thinks.

??Yun Yang continued: "For those who want to add rock sugar, uncle knows how much to put, and they are not sure."

?? Zhou Polu followed the palace man with a complicated mood.

??Of course, not far from the gate of the palace, Zhou Polu found a reason to turn back and quietly hid in the dark to observe.

??Then Zhou Polu saw that as soon as he left, his little son took out a small bag from under the case like a thief, looked around the surroundings vigilantly, and quietly left the hall through the side door .

?? Also seeing this scene was Nie Wenyuan who was hiding on the eaves of the hall with Yuan Li.

??Nie Wenyuan stroked her forehead, and said to Yuanli, "Your Highness helped me with the troublesome things tonight, and I will tell His Highness slowly about other things."

?? Yuan Li nodded: "Naturally."

?? The two turned over at the same time and swept down the eaves, following the figure of the young man walking through the night.

??The author has something to say: Yang Yang may be the legend that foolish people have foolish blessings...

??Thank you for your support^_^
