Start practicing from marrying the disfigured princess

Concubine Duan walked up to her daughter, held her hand, smiled gently, and asked softly: "Meng'er, do you know that Ren Pingsheng returned to the capital yesterday?"

I heard three words about Ren Pingsheng.

Liu Yunmeng's body froze slightly, and he quickly adjusted his emotions, pretending to be calm and said: "I don't know."

Concubine Duan was slightly startled when she saw her cold expression.

In her impression, every time she mentioned Ren Pingsheng or Prince Zhenbei, Meng'er's eyes would light up. It was no exaggeration to say that her eyes were bright.

Why were you acting so cold this time?

Could it be that there was some conflict between the two of them?

After thinking about this, she asked tentatively: "A few days ago, you didn't always mention him in front of your mother and concubine, and you also wanted her to send the letters you wrote to the Yunlong Canyon. Now that he has returned to the capital, how come you are doing the same thing? Are you feeling unhappy?"

Liu Yunmeng was afraid that his mother and concubine would see that he was too close to Ren Pingsheng, so he pretended to be cold and replied: "He has been away from the capital for so long, and he has never thought of sending a letter to his son. After thinking about it, he doesn't have much place for his son in his heart. Why should I go to meet him?"

Having said this, he paused and looked at his mother and concubine: "Furthermore, my mother and concubine have taught me that if you want to deal with people like Ren Shengsheng, you must know how to keep a distance and maintain a state of aloofness.

If he hadn't thought of his son when he returned to the capital, and his son went to look for him, wouldn't it appear that he was the son of a minister, not to mention that he was Chang An's husband. "

He said a lot in one breath, well-founded and convincing.

Seeing that she didn't seem to be angry with Ren Pingsheng, Concubine Duan's heart sank. After being silent for a few seconds, she actually spoke for Ren Pingsheng.

"Shizhou is located in a remote place, with tough folk customs and rampant bandits. If I go there for training in my lifetime, I will definitely encounter a lot of troubles on the way. I'm afraid I have to be vigilant at all times even when eating, and I won't have time to write to you. From the mother's point of view, this is just human nature.

As for why I didn't come to the palace to see you immediately after returning to Beijing... It was a tiring journey all the way, and I wanted to rest for two days after returning home, which is normal. "

Is the mother and concubine trying to defend Ren Pingsheng?

Liu Yunmeng was a little confused. She didn't know why her mother-in-law, who had always been lukewarm towards Ren, suddenly changed her attitude.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

At this moment, Concubine Duan continued: "These past few days are the most tiring moments in Ren's life. He needs someone to care and take care of him most. You also know Chang An's temperament. Even if something unexpected happens and he falls from the clouds, he will still be in his bones." Arrogance will not change, and I will never care about Ren Pingsheng.

At this time, if you can give her gentle care, you will definitely occupy a heavier weight in his heart, and you will be able to replace Chang An in the future..."

As she spoke, the expression on her brows became more and more excited, and her eyes sparkled with light.

Liu Yunmeng looked at his mother-in-law, her expression became a little strange, and the more she listened, the more she felt something was wrong.

Is the mother-in-law teaching herself how to please Ren Pingsheng?

This moment.

She suddenly felt that the mother-in-law, who was always dignified, generous and amiable, was a little strange.

When I thought about it again, I felt it was completely normal.

Isn't it because the mother-in-law can gain a foothold in the palace and become a noble concubine second only to the queen by relying on these methods?

only……

For no reason, why did the mother-in-law teach herself this?

A month ago, didn't she teach herself how to manipulate Ren Pingsheng and make him use herself?

Liu Yunmeng was confused, and then fell into a trance.

The principles the mother-in-law said and the techniques she taught sounded really useful.

However, she did not want to use any so-called skills on Ren Pingsheng.

In her opinion, when two people are together, liking is the most important thing. If it is mixed with other things, it will change the taste.

From beginning to end, she never thought of taking advantage of Ren Pingsheng and letting him be used for her own purposes.

Even if Ren Pingsheng was not the prince of Zhenbei, but just a commoner, and would not be of any help to the emperor's brother in his fight for the throne, she would still be kind to him without reservation.

Similarly, she also believed that Ren would do the same to her in his life.

The relationship between them is pure and sincere!

I thought so in my heart, but didn't say it with my mouth. I just nodded and agreed: "I will remember the teachings of my mother and concubine."

Concubine Duan looked like a teachable child and nodded happily: "Concubine Duan knows that you and Ren Ping have been in love for a lifetime, and she feels that what Concubine Mother said has tarnished the relationship between you.

However, for a person like Ren Pingsheng, there will be no shortage of beautiful, gentle and lovely women around him. You and he are now in love with each other and have a close rapport. It is not certain whether they can maintain it after a long time.

Mother and Concubine are experienced, and they see many things more clearly than you. Sometimes, if you want to capture someone's heart, you can't just rely on your feelings and do whatever you want..."

Speaking of this, he seemed to recall some past events, sighed leisurely, and waved his hands: "That's all, at your age, no matter how much my mother-in-law talks, you won't take it to heart. You just need to remember, my mother-in-law It won’t hurt you.”

Speaking of which.

No matter how slow Liu Yunmeng is, he can still realize that something must have happened in the north, causing the Zhenbei Palace's status in the court to rise sharply.

Only then would the mother-in-law teach herself so straightforwardly, allowing herself to win over Ren Pingsheng.

Hmm...it sounds a little dirty.

But the mother-in-law knew her feelings and attitude towards Ren Pingsheng before, so she was so straightforward.

If it were another person, this might not be the case.

She stopped thinking about it, looked at Concubine Duan, blinked, and asked curiously: "Concubine, what happened in the north?"

Concubine Duan thought for a while, then lowered her voice and said: "There is news from the north. One and a half months ago, the King of Zhenbei went to the Northern Wilderness alone, killed the Star Gazing Priest, one of the three barbarian priests, and escaped unharmed.

Now, the body of the stargazing priest has been sent to the capital, and it will arrive in seven days at most. "

Stargazing priest?

Liu Yunmeng didn't know much about the barbarians, and with a look of confusion in his eyes, he asked: "Is the barbarian killed by King Zhenbei very strong?"

Concubine Duan said with a serious face: "He is one of the five extraordinary powerful men of the Barbarian tribe. It is rumored that the reason why the Barbarian tribe agreed to negotiate with the court was because King Zhenbei killed him and escaped unharmed, which made the Barbarian tribe extremely fearful. …”

Halfway through, he stopped abruptly and changed his words: "My mother and concubine only heard about it and don't know much about it, but one thing is certain. After this incident, Your Majesty and the civil and military officials will definitely rely more on King Zhenbei. The royal palace’s status in the court will also be further improved.”

so……

As long as he can maintain his relationship with Ren Pingsheng, will Brother Ning hold more weight in his father's heart?

Liu Yunmeng is not a blank slate, and he also understands the battle for the right to inherit the throne.

He knew in his heart that even if Chang An was reduced to a useless person, Ning Wang brother's position as the crown prince was not guaranteed.

Apart from anything else, King Jin's reputation among civil servants was quite high, and he was a great threat to King Ning's brother.

If we can win over Zhenbei Prince's Mansion to support Brother Ning Wang.

Even if the civil servants support the King of Jin again, they will consider the stability of the northern territory, and the same goes for my father.

After thinking about this, she nodded gently and said with a serious face: "I will remember everything my mother and concubine said today."

Concubine Duan nodded happily and opened her mouth to say something. With a casual glance, she saw mottled marks on the fair skin on the side of her neck, which seemed to have a glimmer of moisture.

moment.

She realized something and her eyes narrowed.

Could it be that Meng'er's attitude toward Ren Pingsheng has changed because she has a new love?

The idea just popped into her head and was quickly denied by herself.

Mo Ruomu, a wise daughter, knew very well that her daughter was by no means a sentimental person.

"Could this mark be left by Ren Pingsheng?"

Thinking of the last experience, Concubine Duan came up with this idea again.

Recalling many details of entering Yongning Palace.

She became more and more convinced of this idea.

No wonder Qing'er shouts loudly when saluting.

No wonder Meng'er wasn't surprised at all when she heard that Ren Pingsheng had returned to Beijing.

No wonder……

"Ren Ping had been working hard for more than a month. On the second day after returning to the capital, he came to the palace early in the morning to have a private meeting with Meng'er...

It seems that I underestimated Meng'er. Even without my mother-in-law's sincere words, Meng'er could easily control Ren Pingsheng. "

As soon as she thought of this, Concubine Duan's delicate face couldn't help but smile, and she felt like she was better than her.

"That's all. The little lovers have reunited after a long absence, so I won't disturb them anymore."

There were still many words in her heart, but Concubine Duan suppressed them all. With a smile that couldn't be concealed in her eyes, she said softly: "Okay, that's all, Concubine Duan, please just take a rest."

After that, he said no more, turned around and left.

Liu Yunmeng was still thinking about Ren Pingsheng who was hiding in the house, so she didn't try to stop him. He just saluted, "I would like to send you my mother and concubine."

After a while.

Watching his mother and concubine leave.

She immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to go into the room to call Ren Pingsheng out, but before she could move, she saw Qing'er walking in.

"Your Highness, have you and the Crown Prince been discovered?"

Qing'er blinked and asked curiously.

Liu Yunmeng looked proud and raised her head slightly: "That's natural."

"Then..."

The next second, the word "good" was stuck in Qing'er's throat, and she couldn't spit it out.

She stared blankly at His Highness's white swan neck and the clearly visible red marks on the side, and her expression became a little weird.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he still couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, I think your Majesty must have discovered it."

"How can it be."

Liu Yunmeng recalled the conversation just now, thinking that he had not exposed any problems, and said with a serious face: "If the mother-in-law really found out, she would not have the same attitude just now, let alone..."

Before she finished speaking, Qing'er interrupted her: "I'll go get the bronze mirror."

After saying that, he quickly entered the side room and took out a bronze mirror.

Liu Yunmeng looked confused, stretched out his hand to take it, and looked at the clear red spots in the mirror.

She was startled at first, then her face became hot, and her pretty face turned red. She only had one thought in her mind: I must die!

at this time.

Ren Pingsheng opened the door and walked out: "Is Concubine Duan gone?"

Liu Yunmeng's pretty face was as rosy as the sunset. She turned to look at him, her eyes filled with mist. Her heart was filled with embarrassment and her voice was trembling: "Look at the good things you have done."

Ren Pingsheng was also startled when he looked at the red spots on her neck.

Just when he didn't know what to say.

Liu Yunmeng blushed, walked up to him, stood on tiptoes, lightly bit the back of his neck, and said in a low voice: "I can't be the only one to be embarrassed, you have to do it too." There must be…”

…………

It was more than an hour after I came out of the palace.

There were several fresh red spots on the back of Ren Pingsheng's neck, the inside of his arms, and his chest.

When practicing, Chang An would definitely be able to see it as long as he paid attention.

But he had no time to care about it at the moment. All he could think about was the news he heard from his sister-in-law.

"He went deep into the Northern Wilds alone, killed the Stargazing Priest, and was able to escape unscathed... When did Dad become so strong?"

As the prince of Zhenbei.

Ren Pingsheng's understanding of the barbarians is naturally much better than Liu Yunmeng.

He is very clear about the weight of the four words "Stargazing Priest".

The Northern Wilds Barbarians are a force whose organizational form is very similar to that of the Federation.

Tribes make up the entire barbarian tribe.

The affairs between tribes are handled by the tribe leaders.

There are three great priests above each tribe, who are responsible for different affairs, and each of them has the strength of the extraordinary realm.

In addition, there are two tribe leaders in the extraordinary realm in each tribe.

Together, the barbarians have a total of five extraordinary realm masters.

Among them, the Stargazing Priest is not the strongest one, but not the weakest one either.

In the territory of the barbarians, killing the Stargazing Priest and escaping unscathed, I am afraid that only the Martial Saint can do it.

Dad must have used some magic tools or relied on some kind of power to do it.

Even so, it can still be a great deterrent to the two tribes of demons and barbarians.

"No wonder something happened in Wusheng Mountain. Not only did the two tribes of Yao and Man not move, but they also sent an envoy to the capital to negotiate. It turned out that my father played a role...

By the way, I don't know if my father was injured or if he is in good health."

Ren Pingsheng was walking on the way back to the mansion. In a trance, he suddenly realized that he hadn't communicated with his family for a long time.

"When I go back, I will write a letter to ask my father what's going on."

Thinking so, he couldn't help but speed up his pace.

At the same time.

Over the sky of the capital, dark clouds are gathering, covering the sky and the sun, making people feel a little depressed.

Ren Pingsheng didn't take the change in the weather to heart, but felt that as time passed, the discomfort in his body became stronger.

After half an hour.

Ren Pingsheng returned to the mansion and wanted to find Chang An to ask her if she had the same feeling.

Walking in the corridor, he happened to meet the little maid Qiu'er.

On second thought, if it was really the discomfort caused by the Yin-Yang Heart Sutra, the little Taoist should know more about it than Chang An.

Why not ask the little Taoist priest first?

So he followed her to another courtyard.

"Miss Mu, long time no see."

Ren Pingsheng looked at Mu Rou, who was sitting on a chair with a blanket covering her legs and a pale face, and smiled and greeted her.

Mu Rou heard his voice, looked up at him, opened her pink lips slightly, and wanted to respond, but before she opened her mouth, she started coughing violently.

"Cough cough cough cough cough--"

Qiu'er saw this scene, with a distressed look on her face, and hurried forward to pat her back.

At this time, Ren Pingsheng understood why there was a hint of sadness between Qiu'er's eyebrows just now.

It turned out that after more than a month of not seeing each other, the little Taoist priest's illness became more serious...
