Chapter 19 boudoir
Sister, you seem a little unhappy. Are you worried?" The girl who was reading a book saw Situ Yushuang coming in from outside the door with a cold cheek, and quickly put down the book and asked with concern. The close maid Han Yan, who came in, quickly took off the master's cloak and hung it on the cloak rack for him.
"Miss, please bake the test. It's so cold outside. It's about to celebrate the Spring Festival, but the weather is not like returning to the sun at all." Han Yan moved the soft chair to the brazier with concern, next to the girl reading the book.
"Hmph, I think the weather is the same as people's mood. The more unpleasant it is, the worse it is." Sitting on the soft chair, gently rubbing his somewhat stiff hands. With the warmth of the charcoal fire, his hands gradually returned to nature.
"What's wrong, sister?" The girl with li-haired hair raised her delicate face and looked at her, the thirteenth princess of the empire, curiously.
"Oh, it's nothing, I'm just a little depressed, but then again, how much does it have to do with me?" He sighed softly, without answering the question of the girl Lifa.
"Han Yan, what exactly made my sister so unhappy?" The girl Lifa was naturally Sophia, the exiled princess of the Yuan Jiemeiluo Kingdom.
"Miss Sophia, I don't know what happened to the lady. She just came back from His Royal Highness Ninth." Han Yan glanced at her lady.
"Did you have a quarrel with your ninth brother?" Sophia asked with concern.
"No, it's okay," Situ Yushuang moved her hands, feeling that the indoor temperature was a little high, and she unbuttoned the buckle of the golden rusty jacket, revealing a white jade-like neck. "That Li Wufeng came to Beijing to report his work. He went to court today. I don't know why his father was so confused. Not only did he promote him to Duke, he also asked him to serve as the governor of the Northern Luzon region, taking charge of all military and political affairs in the entire Northwest County and Northern Luzon."
"Oh? This guy has entered Beijing and was named the Governor of Northern Luzon? So this guy has controlled Northern Luzon?" Sophia is no longer the ignorant girl a year ago. She has been staying in Situ Yushuang's mansion for the past year, but she is very concerned about the political situation of the entire continent.
The Machi Khanate once again raided the Yuejing Kingdom and took the Yuejing Kingdom into his pocket in one fell swoop, which aroused strong reactions from the empire and surrounding Milan and other countries, which made her very excited. However, the embarrassing facts once again made her sober again. How unrealistic it was to try to rely on these illusory powers to restore her country. The empire suffered a series of defeats on the southern border, and Milan was actually counterattacked by the Machi Khans. Andako and Mahad were all extremely frustrated.
For a moment, she fell into confusion. The entire Eastern Continent seemed to have no power to shake the Maqi Khan to gain status. Could it be that her mother and younger brother could only live for the rest of their lives under the imprisonment of the Maqi Khan, and did she live for the rest of her life? Although Situ Yushuang had never despised herself and comforted him many times, she was also a girl after all, and she would marry into her sooner or later. She would not have followed her. Of course, it would be easy for her to find someone to marry, but she always felt unwilling to accept it.
Just when she was confused, news came that the Northwest Legion marched into Luzon. This news caused an uproar in the entire empire. Due to its remote location, ordinary people in the empire did not know the details, and even the court officials were vague. However, she learned from Situ Yushuang that Li Wufeng dared to send troops to Luzon without obtaining the authorization of the Central Committee of the Empire. It was really shocking that his boldness and arrogance were indeed shocking.
But this person's legendary experience once again aroused her great curiosity. Zhang, an unknown small gang, was able to turn defeat into victory in the case of the main force of the Western Expedition, successfully curbing the invasion of the rampant Luobei cavalry. Then, in just a few years, he suppressed bandits and suppressed the rebellion, defeated Luobei, and developed the economy, becoming the third governor of the empire with the military and political power of the Northwest. His rapid success was incredible. Although Situ Yushuang repeatedly said in front of her that Li Wufeng was a villain who was successful and happened to climb to this position with conspiracy and intrigue, she herself did not think so. How could she succeed every time with luck or tricks? If she had no real ability and no strength, could she be promoted to such a high position?
When she heard Situ Yushuang say this today, she immediately understood the reason why her sister was in a bad mood. She knew that for some reason, her sister had a very bad impression of Li Wufeng. She always thought that this person was a confidant of the empire. Today, she heard that this person was promoted to the higher position, so how could she not be depressed?
However, this legendary character has become more and more curious about himself. I really don’t know what kind of person this person is? The news media has promoted him as rare and unparalleled in the world. If I have the chance, I must meet this person.
Seeing Sophia ask, Situ Yushuang nodded slightly: "Yes, this guy really can take advantage of the situation. When the two powerful neighbors in the south and west of Luzon sent troops to Luzon, he quietly sent troops to pick up a landed peach, control the Northern Luzon area, and is said to have signed a mutual aid agreement with the Luzons. This guy is really sinister and vicious!" After saying that, Situ Yushuang couldn't help but sigh again.
"That's a good thing. He has seized such a large area for the empire. Isn't your father even happier?" Sophia said with a chuckling.
"Hmph! It's nominal territory, but it's high and far away. The empire can't take care of it. I don't think it's equivalent to his own private territory. I also gave him an excuse to ask for money from the empire. I'm just worried that my father should not be fascinated by the superficial effort this guy did. It would be awful to think that he is a pillar of the empire." Situ Yushuang's words were to the core. If Wufeng heard it with his own ear, he might be shuddered.
"Sister, you always think that Li Wufeng has ulterior motives, but all of them are smart and capable people in the court, and your father has been through storms for a long time. Can't they see it?" Sophia asked in a soft voice.
Sophia's words made Situ Yushuang stunned, with a deep thought expression on her face. After a while, she said: "I think the ministers in the court, including my brothers, may have thought of this problem, but firstly, Li Wufeng's outstanding military achievements, they all want to use him to guard the northwest border, and secondly, they think that it may be fine if they can control him and limit him to the northwest. Moreover, there is no conclusive evidence to show Li Wufeng's ambition. I am afraid that once he is full and unable to control it, it will lead to a big mistake."
"In fact, there is a way to solve this problem." Sophia said with a mysterious smile.
"What's the solution?" Situ Yushuang looked disbelieving.
"Anyway, sister, you haven't promised anyone yet. I heard that guy hasn't been married yet. Why don't you ask your father to marry him and let you marry him and become the royal son-in-law? Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?" Sophia smiled and told the answer.
"You! Damn girl, you dare to tease your sister. I think it's better to take a chance to introduce you to each other. Maybe it's really a marriage." Situ Yushuang's face turned red and sheats to fight back.
"How dare people who are devastated in the country expect these?" Sophia's face flashed with a gloomy look. She also knew that in the upper class of the Tanghe Empire, she was a place where family status was extremely important. Her previous identity might be reasonable, but now the country is destroyed and she has no support. Even if she dares to reveal her identity, how can she dare to expect anything else?
Seeing that Sophia's face became a little dark, Situ Yushuang knew the hidden pain that touched her, and quickly encouraged her: "Girl, you don't have to underestimate yourself. With your talents and family background, as long as you tell me, my sister is sure that the young heroes who come to the imperial capital to propose marriage can fill the entire Triumph Avenue."
Although she knew that Situ Yushuang was relaxing her heart, Sophia still laughed at her exaggerated statement.
"But sister, I think you can really get in touch with this Li Wufeng. Even if you are not a friend, you can also understand what kind of person this person is?" Sophia sincerely proposed.
"Damn girl, here again. I don't think it's the problem that I have contacted him. But you, are you excited and want to see him?" Situ Yushuang's naughty eyes swirled over Sophia.
Sophia Shang Future answered, Han Yan next to him continued: "Miss, I think Miss Sophia is right. You can meet this Li Wufeng, but what does it matter if you really have a fate? I heard that Your Highness Ninth mentioned this matter last time." Han Yan was originally the daughter of a small businessman in the imperial capital. Unfortunately, his father committed suicide by doing business and leaving the family behind. The creditor took the opportunity to force the debt, and Han Yan had to be sold into the slave market. At that time, the royal family needed a group of girls to serve as servants of the children of each royal family. Han Yan was blonde and beautiful, so he was bought and assigned to Situ Yushuang. He grew up with Situ Yushuang since childhood. The two had a good relationship, just like sisters, so they spoke casually.
"Don't mention him. I don't know what he is going to do. Humph, I'll make the decision on my own. Even the father must ask for my opinion first." Situ Yushuang's face turned gloomy.
Seeing that Situ Yushuang had changed color, Sophia and Han Yan didn't dare to mention this matter again.
"Your Majesty is here!"
Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor had arrived at the door, the lady pretended to be a little bitch and quickly gave a blessing, "I would like to welcome Your Majesty."
"It's okay, it's all an old husband and wife, why do you have so many polite things?" After waved his hand, Situ Mingyue's expression still looked energetic.
"I see that Your Majesty is in great spirits today. What makes Your Majesty so excited?" The lady indifferently dressed up is very good at observing her expressions and asked while taking off her outer robe for Situ Mingyue.
"It's nothing. Don't ask too much about these things in the court." Situ Mingyue sat gently beside the bed of a mahogany carved dragon and flying phoenix, and let the noble lady wear a loose dress for him.
The two maids who followed in had already tactfully pulled up the brocade curtains separated from inside and outside, and then quietly left the room.
"Your Majesty, you have come here less recently." The rich lady's voice came from the closed bed.
"Oh, I'm busy with things this time and I can't get out of my body." Situ Mingyue's voice seemed a little indifferent.
"Hmph, don't go to someone else again." His delicate voice.
"Who said? I have the most luck here." Situ Mingyue felt a little overwhelmed.
"Your Majesty, don't be too tired. Be careful to get tired. The affairs of the court are managed by the ministers. If you are worried, you can let Biaoer and the others do it." The bed gradually shook slightly, and bursts of blue sounds also came out.
"Well, Biao'er has performed very well recently and has made great progress."
"Then Your Majesty should let him share more things for you." His voice was a little quick and slightly breathing.
