The heroine who wears a book is always teasing me

"I really can't read your mind."

Xu Nuan leaned against Yin Ruoyue weakly.

Yin Ruoyue reached out and patted Xu Nuan's back and said in a low voice, "Yue'er can't see what the princess is thinking, so I can only speculate like this."

"If the princess sees me talking and laughing with others without any jealousy, then the princess wants to marry me. Doesn't it prove that I am wishful thinking?"

Hearing this, Xu Nuan couldn't understand. Looking at Yin Ruoyue sideways, she asked, "Then, isn't it because my tone was too harsh that day?"

Yin Ruoyue shook her head, and after being depressed for a long time, she said in a low voice: "Does the princess like Yueer?"

"Even if you didn't have it before, how much do you like it now?"

Xu Nuan looked at Yin Ruoyue in a daze and asked, "Why are you asking that all of a sudden?"

Yin Ruoyue, with her head down, leaned gently on Xu Nuan's shoulder, and said softly, "Because Song Yu once told me that the princess asked him to be careful of Yin Ruoyue and the Yin family."

Hearing this, Xu Nuan thumped a bit, and Song Yu's sloppy wall must have been sent by Yin Zheng to sow discord.

Yin Ruoyue turned her head sideways, looked at Xu Nuan with slightly red eyes and murmured: "I can plot tricks and attack viciously, but I have never set up defenses against the princess. But why did the princess take precautions against me when the first emperor took over?" With such a heavy heart?"

"Could it be that the princess has designed me from beginning to end?"

"It's not what you think, when..."

Xu Nuan's head was stuck for a while, and her words were cut off. She could only look at Yin Ruoyue anxiously, and after a while she calmed down, she opened her mouth to explain again:

"At that time, you and the prime minister showed their sharpness in the court, and the Yin family was brilliant again. I just wanted Song Yu to observe secretly, and I never thought of any means."

"Yue'er, Song Yu later defected to your father's side. What he said now is obviously to sow discord."

Yin Ruoyue held Xu Nuan's hand tightly and responded, "I know Song Yu's intentions, but why didn't the princess justify that she was so guarded against me?"

"Because... I know that you have hatred for the Yin family that was destroyed and the royal family in your heart, so I want to know in advance what you will do?"

Xu Nuan explained truthfully.

"So the princess contacted Zhou Xia several times to deal with me?" Yin Ruoyue let go of her hand, looked at Xu Nuan incredulously, and murmured: "But I thought the princess was looking at Zhou Xia, and followed him to attend the meeting regardless of sarcasm. banquet."

"Princess, why don't I lead the army to repel the enemy, but Zhou Xia, so now you will choose Zhou Xia?"

Apparently Yin Ruoyue couldn't listen to any advice right now, Xu Nuan looked up at Yin Ruoyue who was on the verge of losing her mind, and replied, "Will you believe me if I say no?"

"You won't believe it, because you think I will choose the strong."

Yin Ruoyue remained silent and didn't answer, Xu Nuan sat aside, his head was in a mess, his heart was also tight, and he said to himself:

"That's pretty good. You have a lot of concerns about me, and I also have a lot of puzzles about you."

"Let's not talk about the assassination case in the capital. Everyone saw you wandering around the brothel in the capital. Have I ever questioned you? And about Liu Yan and Rusu, I don't even want to ask about it. But the capital is besieged by refugees. It has been blocked for several months, the situation is critical, but the pigeons are gone forever, you have heard nothing, and you have not explained a word until now, have I ever complained to you?"

Said that in the end Xu Nuan just felt that he couldn't breathe, so he had to breathe slowly.

Yin Ruoyue turned around and took a few steps back, looked at Xu Nuan in disbelief, and left Yuzhao Palace without saying a word.

Xu Nuan watched her leave helplessly, and couldn't say anything to persuade her to stay. She needed to calm down the most right now, as there were too many misunderstandings and doubts between the two of them that had not been explained clearly.

As the time slowed down to the first month, the weather was getting cooler and cooler, but the flames of war still hadn't stopped.

Because Hua Mo led the army and was forced by Zhou Xia to abandon the capital of the old kingdom, in the end he had to rush around in a hurry. Zhou Xia led the army and was unable to hunt around, so he had to order the princes and princes to search in various fiefs.

However, there are many contradictions in the shogunate, and the young emperor's foundation is weak, so that the princes and princes in the fiefdoms don't pay attention to this order at all, and give way to each other.

So much so that the troops led by Hua Mo seemed to be carrying fire, fleeing in all directions, causing panic in the Muguo.

The weather was cool in October, and Xu Nuan put on clothes early in the morning. Although there was not much rain, there was no sun in the cloudy day, and it was very depressing.

I don't know if it's because I haven't been in touch with Yin Ruoyue in the past few months, or because Zhou Xia has heard about the prolongation of the war situation, I have been sighing continuously without realizing it.

As November slowly entered, the weather suddenly turned cold, and it seemed that it was going to snow.

The battle situation dragged on and on. If Daxue hadn't wiped out the Huamo remnant party before, I'm afraid Zhou Xia would have to be forcibly recalled.

After all, the pawns Zhou Xia held in his hand were the only pawns that the Young Emperor could control at present.

Sure enough, in the first ten days of December, when a heavy snowfall fell, the ministers of the DPRK and China asked Zhou Xia to bring his troops back to the capital.

The court has always been divided into several parties, Zhou Xia has a large army in his hand, Yin Zheng and his party will bring up the matter of treason, and the old General Zhou and his party will naturally argue endlessly with him.

After procrastinating, the army returned to the capital in mid-December, but news came that Zhou Xia had been persecuted and died.

When Xu Nuan received this news, the first thing that came to mind was Yin Ruoyue, because the current situation was almost wrong with Yin Ruoyue's original guess.

But now that the cold war has been going on for several months, Xu Nuan thought that Yin Ruoyue would not have any more contact with him, so the marriage with Zhou Xia should proceed naturally, but why did Zhou Xia still have such an accident?

Being in the palace, even though Xu Nuan had business in hundreds of shops in the Mu Kingdom, she still couldn't leave the palace freely.

What's more, Xu Nuan has become more cautious since he encountered a series of incidents of being poisoned and robbed.

"Eldest Princess, Your Majesty invites Eldest Princess to go to the Imperial Study to discuss matters." A palace official outside the door suddenly reported in a low voice.

Xu Nuan put down the teacup in her hand, wondering if Yin Ruoyue had already made a move?

Leaving Yuzhao Palace, when entering the imperial study room, there is no palace attendant inside, the young emperor is only sixteen now, just a high school student.

Xu Lin was reviewing the memorial with a pen in his hand, when he looked up and saw Xu Nuan coming in, he got up and called out:

"Miss Huang, how is your health recently?"

As for Xu Lin, he was crowned prince since he was a child, and he has talent and ambition, but his personality is much more arrogant, and he doesn't have much contact with Xu Nuan on weekdays.

"It's okay, I don't know what's the matter with the emperor?"

This Xu Lin was only about ten years old. After being polite, he turned around and sat on the front seat and said, "The marriage contract between the imperial sister and General Zhou Xia has been delayed again and again. General married.

"I don't want the front line to report General Zhou Xia's death for the country. Now the body has been buried in Zhou's hometown, but the marriage of Huangjie has to be abandoned."

Xu Nuan listened patiently to what Xu Lin had said, and had been waiting for him to make arrangements.

"I don't know how sister Huang wants to arrange it?" Xu Lin suddenly turned his head and said to Xu Nuan full of conspiracy.

"Since General Zhou Xia sacrificed his life for the country, how about going to the nunnery and praying for Muguo and General Zhou Xia for three years?"

Xu Nuan is also much smarter now, guessing that Xu Lin probably has some conspiracy waiting for him.

Xu Lin looked at Xu Nuan in surprise, wondering, "It's a blessing for the people of Muguo that Huangjie has such determination, but the power of the royal family is weak at present, if Huangjie really cares about Muguo, why not complete Zhou Xia's marriage contract?"

"One is to fulfill the last wish of the emperor, and the other is to consolidate the stability of the court. The only son of General Zhou died for the country. If the royal family dissolves the engagement at this time, it will not hurt the hearts of the monarch and ministers."

After listening to it, Xu Nuan didn't recover from it, thinking that Xu Lin is not very old, but his thoughts are already so deep.

It hurts the hearts of the monarch and ministers, so why not say that the royal family must rely on marriage to win over the Zhou family.

Had Xu Nuan not been in good health recently, otherwise he would have been very angry. Judging by Xu Lin's determined expression, it was obvious that he was not here to discuss, but simply to give orders.

Since there was no room for discussion, Xu Nuan stood up and responded, "There is no rush for this matter. General Zhou Xia has not yet held a funeral. Let me consider the marriage."

"Three days, I hope that sister Huang will give me a satisfactory answer."

After leaving the imperial study room, Xu Nuan didn't feel relaxed, but much heavier.

It seems that Xu Lin is all about trying to pull himself into a court fight, just like he was given a marriage without knowing it back then.

Everything in Yuzhao Palace remained the same, but there were suddenly more imperial guards beside the emperor. Xu Nuan stepped into the inner hall as if ignoring it, and fell on the bed, not knowing what to do.

The reason why Xu Lin was in such a hurry must be Yin Ruoyue's pressure from the court. Last time the capital was besieged by refugees, and he gave out so many food donations. Everyone in the capital knew that he was rich.

That's why that kid Xu Lin couldn't bear to get away with all his wealth.

The emperor is really ruthless, no wonder those who are so keen on fighting for power and profit are all ruthless people.

According to what Yin Ruoyue said, Zhou Xia should have been hidden if he didn't die.

What reason is there to refuse this forced marriage?

In the following two days, Xu Nuan never let anyone enter Yuzhao Palace to serve him, even food was not allowed to be brought in.

Early in the morning of the third day, the emperor sent someone to invite Xu Nuan to open the door with a tired look on his face.

The leading eunuch screamed suddenly, all the forbidden soldiers looked at Xu Nuan in amazement, no one dared to move immediately.

Xu Nuan was very satisfied with the effect, but the palace people of Yuzhao Palace leaned forward and looked around, screaming in fright.

"Damn it, the eldest princess has gray hair overnight."

The speed of rumors spreading in the palace was so fast that before Xu Nuan could speak, several versions had already been circulated.

Xu Lin was also shocked when he saw the white-haired Xu Nuan in the imperial study room. In order to make the effect more realistic, Xu Nuan spent a lot of thought on wrinkles on his face, and added some realistic age spots along the way.

"Sister Huang, why are you so sad?"

Xu Nuan imitated the way old people talked, and sighed: "Last night, I dreamed about General Zhou, and I discussed with him about the ghost marriage. I didn't want General Zhou to be very angry and felt that it was wrong, and said that I would go to the new emperor to discuss it."

"I don't know if the emperor ever dreamed of General Zhou coming to question him?"

Xu Lin was stunned by these words, showing fear on his face, but still pretending to shake his head and said: "No, why did the imperial sister turn gray overnight?"

"Ah! Or maybe people and ghosts have different ways. I met with General Zhou without authorization and offended the gods for punishment. I have already planned to go to the Immortal Nunnery outside the capital city tomorrow to become a nun. In this life, I will accompany the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha to replace Muguo and Zhou. The general prays."

When Xu Nuan came out of the imperial study, all the people in the palace lowered their heads and dared not look at it, Xu Nuan didn't mind and went back to Yuzhao Palace.

Entering the hall, Xu Nuan was in a good mood just now, and walked quickly to the dressing table holding the bronze mirror, she couldn't help admiring her makeup skills.

Thinking about it, not only rumors are flying in the palace, but also the city is very lively right now, but this is exactly the effect Xu Nuan wants.

He was lying on the soft bed drinking tea, but someone outside the door suddenly reported: "Eldest Princess, Minister Yin is asking to see you outside."

Xu Nuan, who almost spilled tea all over the floor, slowly put down the teacup, wanted to speak but seemed to be choked by the throat, and refused to answer for a long time.

Yin Ruoyue is here at this time, there is not enough time to remove makeup!
