The King of Liang, the feudal lords outside the town, and the generals inside

It was the first time that the emperor was really angry with Yan Xun. Due to the majesty of the emperor, he couldn't shout, but his face was darker than ever.

"As a courtier of the Great Zhou, you should contribute to the country, but I don't need you to contribute to this extent! Ye Luo's matter is not completely helpless, the worst is to maintain the status quo, but if you make such a statement, I can't even step up. No, where did you put Li Guang? Have you considered his feelings!"

Bai Yu sat next to the emperor, her gaze kept on the jade pendant around her waist.

Yan Xun's expression was as usual, and he said slowly: "A general, on the day he is ordered, he will forget his family; when he is restrained by the emperor, he will forget his relatives; if he is holding a drum, if he violates the arrow and stone, he will forget himself. We have to put state affairs first. Whether His Highness is the king of Liang or the prime minister, it must be the same."

"That's really good." Yan Xun's every word fell into Bai Yu's ears like a piercing heart. He gritted his teeth and endured it, and his tone was as cold as frost, "Then the general must have thought the same way when he handed over the thief. Knowing that that person is not me, isn’t the General quite regretful?”

"Li Guang..." The emperor held his hand.

Listening to him flipping through the old accounts, Yan Xun sighed silently, and then said coldly: "At least the princess is restrained by women's morals, and she won't be as romantic and sentimental as King Liang."

There was a moment of silence in the hall.

Bai Yu stared at him with wide eyes, as if facing someone she had never known before.His heart seemed to be bleeding, and something collapsed and was crushed to pieces again.But it's not just because of the phrase "romantic and passionate".

"You compare me to her?" Bai Yu couldn't believe it, "You actually compare me to her?!"

Yan Xun lowered his eyes, but couldn't see any emotional ups and downs.

"This is my first time going to court. Do you know what today means to me? The general really gave me a generous gift. How should I thank you?"

The emperor held Bai Yu's hand and said softly, "I am here."

Bai Yu gritted her teeth and tightly clutched the emperor's sleeve, seeking that little bit of warmth and support.

The emperor turned to look at Yan Xun, "I really shouldn't have believed you back then."

Yan Xun was just three short words, "The minister is guilty."

Bai Yu's eyes were reddish, but she had calmed down, showing a calmness that didn't match her age, "Since the general is willing, brother emperor, let him agree, so that Ye Luo can be ruled as soon as possible—whatever you say That is also a large piece of land. And, as a show of grace, why don't you personally arrange the marriage and engagement of the two families, so you can't treat the general badly."

The emperor looked at him and sighed distressedly, "Li Guang, you... Among the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, you can pick and choose, no matter male or female, I will agree to whoever you like."

Bai Yu nodded.

After Yan Xun left, the emperor asked him, "Do you really want Zhaoning to marry Yan Xun?"

Bai Yu spit out four words coldly, "He thinks beautifully."

The emperor smiled knowingly, and said: "I already knew that you are not the one who can suffer. It's just that I can't figure out why Yan Xun is like this all of a sudden? I know his feelings for you. At the beginning, he thought he really killed you. You almost committed suicide in front of the Clothes Tomb, fortunately I went in time."

"What?" Bai Yu was startled, and hurriedly asked, "He almost..."

"The knife is on the neck." The emperor sighed and shook his head, "Yan Xun has been rational all his life, but who knows that this impulse will be fatal. Based on this, I don't believe he will have the heart to hurt you. But this time ..."

Bai Yu was silent for a moment, gearing up, "Princess Zhaoning wants to steal someone from me. This calculation is wrong. Unless I give up voluntarily, no one will try to grab the bones in my bowl!"

The emperor smiled and said, "No, I'm afraid you will bite someone."

"...Emperor brother!"

The next day, King Dingshun came to visit Prince Liang's Mansion to congratulate him on his first visit to court as a prime minister.

"Gold, silver and jewels are vulgar, and His Highness must not be short of them, so... this is my congratulatory gift."

The scroll is more than ten meters long when unfolded, and it is magnificent. It is a painting of hundreds of flowers, either in heavy color or light ink, with thousands of exotic flowers and plants painted on it.Narcissus has icy muscles and bones, and peonies are beautiful and heavenly.The pear blossom melts into the night moon, and the peach blossom burns into the morning sun.There are also roses and rhododendrons, rotten like clouds and brocades; hydrangeas and plums, embellishing the scenery.The whole scroll shows the charm of various flowers to the fullest, but they don't seem to interfere with each other at all. The flowers of the four seasons are placed together without being obtrusive, which shows that the layout is exquisite.

Bai Yu looked dumbfounded, and asked after a while, "How long have you been painting?"

"On and off for a few months." King Dingshun smiled slightly.

"This gift is too precious, how can I have the nerve to accept it." Bai Yu said while signaling Qiu Ye to take it away.

Qiu Ye left with the scroll in his arms, Dingshun Wang Fang said: "...Your Highness, just accept it."

"Okay, okay, then I won't be polite." Bai Yu nodded repeatedly, and pulled him back to the room to sit down.

What the servants served was the Jin Men Tuan Huang, which King Dingshun loved to drink.King Dingshun picked up the teacup and skimmed off the froth, teasingly said: "The sound of the sword wears with the steps of the jade, and the clothes and clothes attract the incense of the imperial furnace. We bathe in Enbo Fengchi together, and serve the king in court. Now your highness is a fish and a bear. I have both hands, but I don’t know if there was a wedding ceremony when I was named on the gold list?”

Bai Yu couldn't help laughing, which made him a little embarrassed, "I didn't know you had a bad mouth before." He paused, and laughed at himself: "There are no wedding candles. Yan Xun doesn't want me anymore."

King Dingshun was taken aback for a moment, and asked in puzzlement, "How could this be?"

"Who knows. He probably thinks that I have done something wrong to him." Bai Yu said, "Now that Princess Zhaoning has come to rob me again, she actually throws the whole of Yeluo as a dowry. If Yan Xun didn't If you agree, it will inevitably cause the court to criticize him for not thinking about the overall situation. Besides... I think he is also very active."

King Dingshun thought for a while, and said: "Princess Zhaoning's move is probably not because she really loves the general so much. She just has a grudge against His Highness, and she must fight back."

"I didn't want to haggle with the girl, but since she made the move first, I won't be bullied for nothing." Bai Yu snorted softly, "I've already got the emperor's consent. However, Princess Zhaoning is orphaned and widowed. Yes, it must be exhausting to deal with these trivial matters of the three media and six hires, if the emperor brother handles it himself, it will be a great honor to the Yan family and Princess Zhaoning."

Dingshun Wang slightly raised his eyebrows, seeing a bit of cunning in Bai Yu's smile.He asked, "What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd, Your Highness?"

Bai Yu leaned close to King Dingshun and whispered a few words in King Dingshun's ear, King Dingshun shook his head and said with a smile, "Your Highness is really bad!"

Sure enough, as Bai Yu said, the emperor personally betrothed the two families, and their respective dowries and betrothal gifts were provided by the treasury.Princess Zhaoning also followed her promise and returned to Da Zhou instead of her son.This is a big deal, she has to go back to Ye Luo in person to show that she is not being coerced.

The emperor also specially asked Yan Xun to escort her back to Yeluo. His original words were: "Since the two families will marry Qin and Jin, you should also express it to Yan Xun."

Yan Xun naturally had no objection.

Princess Zhaoning was very happy. When she bid farewell to the emperor, she glanced at the white jade behind him and said with a smile, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your fulfillment."

Bai Yu said indifferently: "How can I stop the heaven-sent marriage of a golden boy and a jade girl?"

Princess Zhaoning's pink face was slightly flushed, and as a mother, she did not lose her charm at all, but even more charming.

She bowed her knees again, turned around and said timidly: "Please, General, help me get on the sedan chair."

Yan Xun stretched out his hand indifferently, helped her up, and after bidding farewell to the emperor, he mounted his horse and set off with his guards.

When Yan Xun was helping her just now, the emperor clearly saw Princess Zhaoning groping her palm.He was afraid that Bai Yu would be unhappy, so he was about to say something when he heard Bai Yu say: "Why didn't he ride Jiuhuaqiu?"

The emperor thought for a while, and said: "Jiuhuaqiu...has been with Yan Xun for almost 15 years. A war horse can be used for up to 15 years. When you get old, you can't run anymore."

Bai Yu was calm just now, but now she suddenly felt like crying.

"But you don't have to be sad, Jiuhuaqiu just can't go to the battlefield, and you can still live for a long time."

Bai Yu said: "Fighting with the master for fifteen years, it will be sad if it has to be chained to the stable all day long."

The emperor felt that this was also a good way to ease their relationship, so he said: "Jiuhua Qiu is also idle, and it happens to like you. Yan Xun is not here now. If you want, why don't you bring Jiuhuaqiu to the palace?"

Immediately doing what he said, Bai Yu turned around and went to the General's Mansion, riding away Jiuhuaqiu according to the imperial order, and even played with Yan Yue for a while.

Around Jiuhuaqiu's neck was still wearing the luan bell that he tied back then, Bai Yu pulled it twice, touched its head, and did not forget to say a few bad words about Yan Xun, "Little Jiu, let me tell you, your master doesn't want it. You, he has a new horse now, and there are new people around him. He is very annoying, so please ignore him from now on."

He paused, and then said: "He doesn't want you anymore, and he doesn't want me anymore. We are all poor wretches abandoned by him."

"..."

Originally, he wanted to scold Yan Xun behind his back, but now he called himself wronged.Bai Yu gritted her teeth and said, "Let's not talk about him, let me take you out for a drive, okay?"

It was the first time for Bai Yu to ride his horse and whip his whip like this, abandoning all worries and worries, and galloping freely.He didn't bring anyone with him, he just rode his horse and just ran forward, completely emptied his mind, and didn't think about anything.

Now it really became a runaway wild horse, until Jiuhuaqiu was tired from running and slowed down to walk, it was almost dark.

"...It's over." Bai Yu looked around, "This is in the wilderness, where are we?"

Before researching the reason, Bai Yu pulled the rein and whispered: "I'm anxious, you wait here for a while. Quietly, don't make a sound, it's not good for people to hear."

After he finished speaking, he got off his horse and ran away hastily.

After finishing the solution, Bai Yu came out from the bushes and saw a small farmyard with a little light on.Bai Yu walked over, asked the owner the way, and bought some dry food to fill his stomach.

When he strolled back with a steamed bun in one hand and a big pancake in the other, he suddenly discovered a terrifying problem.

Jiuhua Qiu disappeared.
