May you be prosperous for half a lifetime

On the day when the Turkic envoys entered Beijing, Yu Wenhu finally saw Prajna.

He knew in his heart that Banruo would not bow his head, but he would definitely not back down again. He was definitely not a puppet of the family, nor was he a pawn of Dugu Banruo. Before that, all chips were just empty talk.

It can be seen that Prajna behind the curtain feels that he has gone too far. He understands in his heart that what Prajna is protecting is understandable, but he has never liked Prajna's attitude. The queen put Dugu's family before him, and didn't consider his situation at all.

"My lord." Ge Shu reminded softly.

He came back to his senses, condescending, and looked at Mantuo, whom he hadn't seen for several years. She lost the silly and cute appearance a few years ago, and instead had a face that was somewhat similar to Prajna. In the past two years, she lost her childishness in her boudoir and gained more honor as a princess, which cannot be ignored.

Mantuo got up slowly, and seeing Yuwenhu was not embarrassed at all, but smiled like a flower, talking about Turkic affairs with the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, and presented the list of gifts, except Yuwenhu and Prajna, the first one was Yuwenhu His Royal Highness, Yu Wenchi.

She lost her petty air, and was rather graceful and magnanimous. Yu Wenhu couldn't help but look at her more, thinking that the Turk was indeed a land of experienced people, "According to folk customs, the princess can still be regarded as my sister-in-law. The princess doesn't have to be so restrained." , let the envoy present the official business together, and in the evening, I will welcome the princess, and I and the queen will personally receive it." He stopped talking, and asked tentatively, "What does the queen think?"

The bead curtain swayed gently, but the person behind the curtain said, "I'm not feeling well, I'm afraid I can't take good care of it. Since it's a matter between the two countries, the Holy One can do it alone."

Her words were cold, and she obviously didn't give him any face. Yu Wenhu thought about sending Feng Xi to him a few days ago, and she returned all of them. The virtuous queen prides herself, why don't she do such virtuous things for the country and the people?"

The atmosphere was very awkward.

"My Majesty, others don't know, but my concubine knows that Her Royal Highness is a concubine's sister. She has always been thin, so she must be really tired." Man Tuo smiled lightly to smooth things over, her hair swaying slightly, as she hadn't seen for a long time. Wearing Zhoufu, there is still a bit of grassland style, which makes people look extraordinarily comfortable.

Yu Wenhu looked behind the curtain out of the corner of his eye, thinking that Dugu Banruo is so strong, but he never knew that she still had a thin body.

The Qi in Prajna's chest didn't come out, how could she leave Chaoyang Palace, but Yu Wensheng waited for her in the corridor for a long time, she always thought that Yu Wensheng was a malleable talent, so she joined forces to deal with Yu Wenjue that day. Appreciate him, but since he married Princess Qinghe, Prajna reacts to him every time he sees him, but Yu Wenhu treats him as before, and even more than before.

Therefore, she was even more angry, but when she heard that he and Qinghe princess chord, Banruo didn't know whether to be happy or not, but Yu Wensheng always respected her. Tell me clearly.

"Yu Wenyong?"

Hearing this name, Prajna suddenly remembered that Yu Wenyong was taken to the sky prison by Yu Wenhu that day, and then there was a fire in the sky prison, but he did not expect that he was taken to Turkic by Princess Ashina. Be a good student, it turns out that there is a military division in hand.

"Now the Turkic power is in the hands of the Turkic prince Ashina Maha. Namaha originally had many concubines, but since the princess got married, he didn't know how to change his nature. He only listened to what the princess said. Now, Although most of the Turks are under the control of Maha, they can also be regarded as controlled by the princess, so Your Highness must win over the princess, and getting the help of the Turks will help stabilize the East Palace."

Prajna doesn't know that Yu Wenyong has such a great ability, he can even control the bed and curtain of the Turkic prince, let Mantuo stand out, and come to attack Qi, Turkic is the help, no matter what Yu Wenyong thinks, Mantuo Tuo is always her younger sister. If her nephew becomes the prince of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, she will naturally be prosperous.

After finishing speaking, Yu Wensheng cautiously asked about the worries of these days, "Your Highness, actually I have always wanted to ask, why did Your Highness always take care of my ministers in the past, and since I got married, Your Highness has been uncharacteristically?"

Banruo raised his eyes to look at him, not knowing how to say it, so as not to mislead the marriage, finally sighed, "It has nothing to do with you."

Yu Wensheng looked around and saw that there was no one around, and carefully persuaded, "I shouldn't talk too much about this matter, but most of the people in the palace have known about the quarrel between Your Highness and the Holy One, so I ask your Highness to think about it carefully. Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is young, and the Holy Lord is in the prime of his life, if there is a deviation in his heart, and he hides secrets from others and gives birth to a prince, His Highness will not bow his head for a long time, for fear that someone will take advantage of it, and the status of the East Palace will not be guaranteed. Isn't honor and disgrace difficult to determine?"

"He won't." Banruo subconsciously responded without thinking.

Seeing this, Yu Wensheng didn't want to persuade him anymore, he just asked Prajna to think about it later for Yuwen.

In the Hanguang Hall, there are singing and dancing.

Man Tuo watched this good show quietly, only thinking that Chang'an City was still interesting, held up the wine cup, and toasted the absent-minded Yu Wenhu with a glass of wine.

The sound of silk and bamboo is very noisy at the moment. The dancers brought by Liu Taiwei from the Western Regions are all famous, and he is still clapping together, humming a little song, Dugushun drank another glass of wine, and only said that the wine of Manduo was really good. It is not easy.

"His Royal Highness the Empress likes to take care of housework when she is in the boudoir. Now that she is married, because of the nonsense of 'Dugu Tianxia' in the past, she likes to take charge of the government. It is not disrespectful to the Holy One." It is flushed red, adding to its complexion.

Yu Wenhu didn't talk to her, just listened quietly.

"However, it is an old saying to marry and follow your husband. Your Majesty, look at your concubines. After marrying a Turkic, everything is planned for the Turkic. No, it is also for this reason that I came to Chang'an from thousands of miles away..."

Yu Wenhu finally raised his eyes to look at Man Tuo, but saw that she drank another glass of wine, and the topic stopped abruptly.

"It would be great if your elder sister was half-reasonable." Yu Wenhu chuckled, put down the cup in his hand, and just watched the singing and dancing in the hall.

"Little General Dugu, didn't you say that this wine needs to be matched with a luminous glass?" Yu Wensheng and the slightly drunk Dugushun on the opposite side spoke, Dugushun shook the wine bottle that was empty of a drop, and looked at it in puzzlement He, but Yu Wensheng didn't seem to see it, "There is Fengyi Hall, can you please take it from General Dugu?"

Dugushun stood up staggeringly, and the palace servants beside him hurriedly supported him, "Uncle Guo, be careful." If he falls, it will be fatal.

Dugushun staggered out, and asked as soon as he went out, where is Fengyi Palace? Yu Wensheng looked at his back and shook his head helplessly.

The inside of Fengyi Hall is not as noisy as the outside, the lamps have already been turned on, the inside of the hall is very bright, Hannya is leaning slightly on the couch, still fiddling with a crow-blue swirl-patterned gold ribbon in her hands, it has only been halfway through the embroidery, the person below is carefully Reported, "Mr. Yong in the post station is undoubtedly Yu Wenyong."

Prajna paused slightly, "Did Princess Ashina come with you?"

Chun Shi was opening the censer, but before the spices were put in, there was a smell of alcohol, Dugu Shun walked in waddlingly, "Uncle Guo." A servant girl had already stopped her.

Chun Shi hurriedly said, "Uncle Guo, how dare you break into the harem in the middle of the night." Even if he is the queen's own younger brother, he definitely does not have such privileges, but Dugushun waved his hand, "The harem is only for my sister." One, what are you shying away from!"

Prajna inside listened to the commotion, and winked, the secret guard of the Dugu Mansion immediately came out from the back door, Banruo frowned slightly, and brushed across his forehead, quite troublesome, "What's the matter, Ah Shun?"

Dugushun didn't know what Yu Wensheng meant, he just said to get the luminous cup, Prajna acted like he was a child, and asked someone to take the luminous cup to him, and then realized, "It must be something in Hanguang Palace, you follow Ah Shun, Go and see."

Chunshi accompanied Dugu Shunhui to the Hanguang Hall, the hall was completely drunk, Yu Wenhu was always sober, leaning on the dragon couch, taking the time to watch everyone, especially focusing on the Turkic envoys At the side, his eyes pretended to be sleepy, and he suddenly caught a glimpse of Chunshi who followed Dugushun into the room.

He was shocked immediately, subconsciously looked behind, there was no one outside the hall, he didn't know what it was like, he waved his hand, the leading singer stopped dancing, dripping with sweat, but still smiling beautifully, moving her lotus steps lightly, towards Come before him.

He was wearing a brocade robe with black dark patterns, and the dancer was wearing an apricot red silk dress, which matched the darkness very well. He stretched out his hand, and with a little force, the woman was already in his arms, swaying gracefully. He looked like he was inside the fence, his thin lips were printed on the woman's temples, and his hands were tied around her.

On this feast, no one in the audience felt that something was wrong, only Yu Wensheng subconsciously looked outside the hall, where Chun Shi happened to be standing, he had some confusion about what His Majesty was doing, but even less did he understand what the Queen was doing. What to do, but he couldn't care so much, stood up, and dragged Dugu Shun who had just entered to go outside, "What are you pulling me for, I haven't finished drinking..." Dugu Shun was still struggling.
