Twilight Cloud Returns

Yangzhou, Yangzhou, Yangzhou again.

What happened recently seems to be inseparable from Yangzhou.

Yun Chuxiu pondered for a moment, and made a quick decision - as soon as the Baiguan court meeting is over, he will immediately go to Yangzhou with Wuqing.

After more than ten days in a row, the Baiguan court meeting finally came to an end.

Today, above the court.

Chu Tiankuo received the memorial from Ning History, and Liangzhou has now lived and worked in peace and contentment and is self-sufficient.He was overjoyed, and announced on the spot that Liangzhou governor was immediately promoted to Liangzhou governor.

Ning Hanqing finally relied on his talent and learning strength to become a great official in the frontiers, and he was the glorious lintel of the Ning family in Taiyuan.

Liu Yi was having a good time in his heart when he heard Chu Tiankuo step up and summon him: "Liu Aiqing."

He came out, "The minister is here."

"Liu Aiqing has been stationed at the border for a long time and is familiar with affairs. Although there is no war in Liangzhou, generals are still needed to guard it. After a short rest, Liu Aiqing went to Liangzhou to help Ning History."

"The minister accepts the order."

Since Liu Yi is going to leave the capital, he should hurry up, Wei Guoan thought.It's just that before he left, he didn't have the chance to see Miss Haitang again, so he was a little bit sad.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Tiankuo promulgated an unexpected imperial decree: "Vice General Wei Guo'an is loyal to the king and has made outstanding achievements.

Captain Qingche has always been a title conferred by a relative of the royal family.

Wei Guo'an's achievements are not as great as Liu Yi's, and his family background is just a commoner's background. Chu Tiankuo praised him so much, which really surprised everyone.

Standing at the bottom of the steps, Yun Chuxiu couldn't help frowning, telling him intuitively that Chu Tiankuo would never give Wei Guoan a title for no reason.

Sure enough, Chu Tiankuo continued to astonish the ministers: "Ever since Princess Anning took pleasure in the Empress Dowager's knee, the Queen Mother has been worried about Princess Anning's marriage. Today, I will simply be a month old and betroth Princess Anning to Captain Wei. I live in the capital After the choice is made, three days later will be an auspicious day, Princess An Ning will get married from the palace, and all betrothal gifts will be arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs as Princess Da Zhou's departure from the cabinet."

Wei Guoan is really a double blessing today, he stole the limelight in both official and love circles.

All the ministers congratulated: "Congratulations to Captain Wei, congratulations to Captain Wei."

Wei Guoan didn't realize it for a while, and just stood there in a daze. How did he get promoted all the way to Captain Qingche?It was Liang Cai who reminded from the side: "Captain Wei is really overjoyed, why don't you hurry up and thank the Holy One."

He immediately knelt on the ground, and all he could think of was the charming and charming Begonia girl.

But the holy will was hard to disobey, Wei Guoan tightly grasped the handkerchief embroidered with begonias in his hand, and thanked him.

And the most unacceptable thing is Xue Liandao who loves his daughter dearly.

Came to Beijing to participate in a meeting of hundreds of officials, not only sent her daughter to the palace to be the princess of An Ning, but also married her.

Only now did he understand why the emperor named his daughter the princess.As a member of the royal family, his father would not be able to worry about the marriage.

After the court ended today, Liang Cai enthusiastically pushed Wei Guoan to the front of Xue Lian, "Why don't you meet your father-in-law soon?"

In just half a cup of tea, he had an extra father-in-law. Although Wei Guoan was reluctant, he still respectfully cupped his hands and said, "My son-in-law pays respects to my father-in-law."

Xue Lian said that this was the first time he carefully looked at Wei Guoan, whom he had never paid attention to in the past. He was born with a handsome appearance, but his family background was too shabby!

He is in charge of one party's political officials, and his only daughter must at least marry well.Even though the Holy Majesty loves Wei Guo'an and has given him the title of Lieutenant of Qingche, who in the world doesn't know that he is from a commoner background?

I heard that this person has a brother who is an eunuch in the house, is it possible that in the future, Jun Wan will be called a useless eunuch as my uncle?

Xue Lian said that the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he wanted to leave immediately.

Yun Chuxiu stepped forward to block his way, waving a feather fan and laughingly said: "Master Xue, how can you just leave? Your virtuous son-in-law is still saluting at the side, you have to be concerned if you don't say anything..."

This Zhuzi actually stood in front of him shamelessly!

Xue Liandao forcibly suppressed the resentment in his heart, and said: "If the young master has nothing else to do, I will retire first."

He ignored Wei Guoan, apparently dissatisfied with the marriage.

At this time, Chu Mohen came out to smooth things over, "Wei Duwei is helpless in the capital, and now he has received a marriage from the Holy Majesty to become Master Xue's son-in-law. Wei Duwei is humble and courteous, and Xue Daren has such a good character for nothing." Son of Jia, wouldn't you be happy?"

Chu Mohen's words imply that Wei Guoan has no foundation in the court and can only rely on him, Xue Liandao, who will definitely become Xue Liandao's help in the future.

Although Xue Liandao was upset at the moment, he still gave Prince Mo enough face, reluctantly said: "The national security is more polite, the family doesn't have to be so ignorant." After saying that, he left immediately.

Wei Guoan knew very well that he was not good enough for Miss Xue Wanjun, who was born in a family. After all, the queen mother's favorite object was Young Master Yun, who was born in the royal family.

But he also didn't want to marry Miss Xue, he already had a sweetheart, and he didn't want to delay Miss Xue's wonderful marriage.

Several people knew Wei Guoan's thoughts, coupled with Xue Liandao's disapproving attitude, they didn't know whether to be happy or worried about this marriage bestowed by the emperor.

Liu Yi cautiously asked: "My dear brother...the Haitang girl..."

Wei Guoan smiled wryly and said, "Forget it, I just took it as a beautiful encounter, and there was no chance for it. The young master has worked so hard to help the general find it. After more than ten days, if the girl is still in the capital, she should have been found. Maybe she has already returned to her hometown Jiangnan, or maybe she has no affection for me..."

Chu Mohen explained: "If we meet Miss Haitang again in the future, it's okay to take a concubine. Marrying a wife should be of great benefit to my career. No matter how beautiful the concubine is, she is just a master who serves others."

Even though Li'er was so, Wei Guoan's position as a wife in his heart was only for Miss Haitang from beginning to end, and he had no intention of taking a concubine.

Chu Mohen saw the loss in Wei Guoan's heart, and patted his shoulder to comfort him: "At present, the most important thing is to be happy with each other, but in the future, you can see how important it is to have a rich family background."

Yun Chuxiu only felt that the little emperor's uncle's words seemed to express his regrets in his life, and that his mother and concubine was a little noble before, which was the biggest obstacle in his life.

Liu Yi doesn't want to straighten out what is official or not. He only knows how to do his job well. Wherever there are bandits invading, he will bring the army to crush them!

But he also knew that Wei Xiandi was married reluctantly, so he scratched his head and held back for a long time before finally choking out a sentence: "At worst, you should raise a Bodhisattva at home and make a good offering!"

One sentence made several people laugh out loud, and the discomfort in their hearts was also swept away.

Today Xiaozhongzi is not on duty, so he stays in the verandah to rest.

Qing Bao ran so hard that the hat on his head was about to be blown away by the wind!Staggering all the way, he ran into the wing room where Xiao Zhongzi was, and flattered him: "Eunuch Zhong, guess what reward Master Wei got today?"

As soon as he mentioned his elder brother, Xiao Zhongzi suddenly regained his spirits and said excitedly, "Has the Holy One rewarded silver again?"

Qing Bao was immediately dissatisfied and said: "Oh, my loyal father-in-law, you want to give Mr. Wei such a clichéd reward?"

He didn't want to be a secret anymore, and he had to take advantage of the heat to please him, and said: "Master Wei has been sealed as a third-rank captain of Qingche today. You must know that this is the supreme honor that only the royal relatives can have! Master Wei is our apocalypse." It's the first one of the year!"

Xiao Zhongzi was so grateful, he dug out a golden melon seed from the box, this was the last time he went to the Empress Dowager's Palace, the Empress Dowager rewarded him for his cleverness as a errand.

Xiaozhongzi gave all the golden melon seeds to Qingbao, "Thank you, Mr. Qingbao, for telling Xiaozhongzi."

Qing Bao weighed the golden melon seeds in his hands, and his eyes were worth it, "Eunuch Zhong, what did you say! Sooner or later, the father-in-law will find out about such a happy event, but Qing Bao is just quicker than others."

He stuffed the golden melon seeds into his clothes, and continued: "There is still a big happy event! The Holy Majesty also personally bestowed a marriage on Wei Duwei, and the woman he chose is Princess An Ning, whom the Empress Dowager loves the most..."

"What?!" Xiao Zhongzi grabbed Qing Bao's hand suddenly, and said with a gloomy expression, "What did you just say?"

Qing Bao thought that he was overjoyed, and repeated: "The Holy Admiral betrothed Princess An Ning to Captain Wei, this is really a godsend!"

"Wei Duwei has also joined the royal family this time. Zhong Gonggong, your good days are coming. The position of the deputy chief of the imperial court is still vacant. When you get it someday, I hope you remember Qingbao well and support you more when the time comes." Qingbao..."

Xiao Zhongzi didn't listen to a single word of Qingbao's flattering words, and what lingered in his ears now was the sharp and heartbreaking words - the Holy Admiral betrothed Princess An Ning to Captain Wei, this is really a godsend!

He stood up in a daze, and walked out with a dull expression.

Qing Bao didn't know why this guy was crazy, maybe he was crazy when he heard his brother ascend to the sky in one step, just like Fan Jin in the Zhongju...

Qing Bao caringly supported her, "Elder-in-law, what's wrong with you..."

Xiao Zhongzi can't listen to anything now, he came to the long street dully, recalling that when he was a child, his family was poor, his elder brother was frugal, and bought lotus seed cakes with all the copper coins he saved.

In the empty thatched hut, under the dim light, my elder brother fed pieces of lotus seed cake into his mouth with bamboo chopsticks.

It's just that my brother doesn't know that the woman who sells lotus seed cakes nearby is lazy and doesn't want to pick out the lotus cores. In fact, her lotus seed cakes are extremely bitter.But because it was fed to him by his elder brother, he only felt that it was sweet and delicious.

Now this kind of warmth no longer belongs to him, but to another woman he has never met before!

The two of them depended on each other, and one had to go to the front line to join the army in order to survive, and he became a worthless eunuch who could be used to vent his anger if his master displeased him.

The days finally had something to look forward to, but a Princess An Ning broke out to disturb their peace and joy!

Xiao Zhongzi punched the red bricks and green tiles beside the long street, dripping blood dripped down the palace wall, mixing with the original red color of the bricks and stones.If it wasn't for the strong smell of blood that floated into his nose, he wouldn't be able to see the blood.

Seeing this, Qingbao was frightened and dumbfounded.In his impression, Xiao Zhongzi has always been the master who is obedient and easy to be bullied. Who would have expected that he would have a violent side now?

He is crazy, he is really crazy like Fan Jin in Zhongju.

Qing Bao muttered in his heart, his steps quickened involuntarily, and he left the long street in fear.

Dark clouds suddenly gathered over the capital, and a thunderstorm was imminent.

Accompanied by the rumbling thunder, Dou Da's raindrops hit Xiao Zhongzi's back.

He was like a walking corpse, he couldn't feel any physical pain, only the pain of being torn apart in his heart, piercing to the bone.

Rain and tears mixed together, he was like a mad dog, venting to the innocent palace wall.

Suddenly, an oil-paper umbrella appeared above his head, protecting him from the wind and rain.

"Wipe it, you have to be on duty at night." The man handed out a handkerchief and said softly.
