Eunuch Kang had a "secret love" for King Qin and received generous gifts from him. He never forgot about him after he came back. When he learned that he had arrived in Lin'an at this time, he was very excited and immediately came out to see him.
As soon as he sat down, King Qin took out a box and opened it in front of him.
When Eunuch Kang took a look, he saw several large gold ingots inside. He was overjoyed and said quickly: "How dare you ask for another gift from the king?"
"It doesn't matter, just take it."
Eunuch Kang happily accepted it, and the two talked for a while. Eunuch Kang finally couldn't help but gossip: "Hua Rong has followed Yue Pengju to garrison in Xiangyang..."
At this time, he already knew about the past between King Qin and Hua Rong. As soon as he said these words, he saw King Qin's face was as serious as iron and said cautiously: "Yue Pengju, this shameless person, really deserves to die..."
King Qin clenched his fists. Yue Pengju deserved to die, but how could he die
Eunuch Kang whispered: "Our family has a plan to discipline Yue Pengju so that he will never come back..."
"Oh, what's the plan?"
"Now that the Song and Jin Dynasties are negotiating for peace, they need to send envoys to welcome the Queen Mother back to the Song Dynasty. Our family proposed to the officials that Hua Rong accompany the envoys to the Kingdom of Jin. In this way, we can separate the two of them..."
King Qin shouted angrily: "How can you suggest that she go to Jinying? Isn't this a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?"
Eunuch Kang originally wanted to please him, but he was so angry that he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. The envoys for the peace talks will be escorted by the army this time, and they will be accompanied by high-ranking officials..." Seeing that King Qin's expression improved slightly, he continued. : "As soon as Hua Rong leaves, the two of them can be separated. At least, they cannot be allowed to be romantic and happy together..."
Merry and happy!
Those two are having a great time!
At this time, the magic sound of "sending into the bridal chamber" came into my ears like a reminder, almost making me jump in fright.
"Your Majesty, I have a way to discipline Yue Pengju to die..."
He said this and that. King Qin was noncommittal. At this moment, he didn't feel much else in his heart. He just felt hatred, hatred, immense hatred. He didn't know whether he hated Yue Pengju or Hua Rong. His fingers tightened tightly. He grabbed the back of the chair and even pulled off a piece of the hard wood.
After Eunuch Kang finished offering his advice, he turned around and went out. When he walked to the door, he thought of pleasing King Qin again and called to the madam: "Quickly find two of the best and most popular girls here to accompany Uncle Qin..."
"this… "
The madam looked troubled. The top prostitute in the brothel had been booked by a high official in the court to spend the night together. How could she dare to call her out so easily? However, how dare she disobey Eunuch Kang's orders? He immediately said: "I'll think of a way to find a solution and call the girl..."
The poor courtesan and the official were having sex, and when they reached the critical point, they heard the madam's panicked urging. The official was about to get in, but he couldn't get off, so how could he give up? He pressed the prostitute tightly and insisted on rushing out. At this time, the door was kicked open, and the official was furious. He was about to yell and curse, but he saw that it was Eunuch Kang, the number one eunuch in front of the emperor. His words were more effective than those of the prime minister. If he dared to get angry, he became paralyzed and said nervously: "Master Kang..."
Eunuch Kang said with a sly smile: "Sir, I'm offended..."
"Don't dare."
The poor prostitute was pulled up, hurriedly changed and sent to King Qin's room.
At this time, King Qin was about to go to bed. He heard the coquettish voices outside, and it turned out that the madam came with the top one. He was furious: "I didn't ask anyone to wait on me!"
The madam's joy in waiting for the reward turned into embarrassment, and she smiled sarcastically: "It was the order of Grand Official Kang..."
"Get out! Get out now!"
The two of them fled, and King Qin kicked the door shut hard. Remembering the poisonous oath he had made, he hissed and bit his heart like a poisonous snake:
Yue Pengju, dead girl, you both deserve to die!
In the days of love, I always feel that time flies by.
With such a lingering life, the seven-day annual leave soon only had two days left. In two days, the army will set off and go directly to Xiangyang.
That morning, Yue Pengju went on patrol in the army. Hua Rong packed some side dishes at home. When he saw that it was noon, he cooked them and waited for Yue Pengju to come back before starting dinner.
When the last dish was served, she guessed that Yue Pengju was coming back. She walked to the door and looked around, but saw several people wearing thick furs coming towards her.
These people were all wearing hats, and she couldn't identify them for a moment. She took a few more looks, but found that these people were coming to her home.
She was a little surprised when she saw the visitor was approaching. She took off her tall hat and called out: "Rong'er."
It turned out to be the emperor, Eunuch Kang, Xu Caizhi and others.
Hua Rong was shocked and quickly saluted and let Zhao Deji and others in.
"Where is Yue Pengju?"
"He went on patrol. I'll ask someone to find him right away..."
"Rong'er, don't worry, just wait until he comes back on his own."
Hua Rong stood aside with her hands down. Zhao Deji sat down and looked around. There was a small stove in the room, which was very warm. There were several dishes of food on the table. Although they were simple, they looked fragrant and refreshing.
After Hua Rong and Yue Pengju got married, they had no aunt or children, and there was no housework in the military camp. Therefore, although Yue Pengju was the new "Xuanfu envoy", he did not have much to serve in the temporary family. Hua Rong is a maid and a servant girl. Hua Rong does all the temporary sewing or making porridge and side dishes by herself. The two of them are in love with each other and don't want a third party to disturb them.
Hua Rong stood aside, thinking of the cold weather, and hurriedly went to pour hot tea for everyone. His movements were also a little flustered, and he was always not sure why the emperor came to this place suddenly.
Looking at Hua Rong again, I saw that she was wearing casual clothes at home, and her hair had been combed into a bun like that of a married woman. It was probably because of the busy period just now, her rosy face was covered with a layer of blush, and she could no longer She is no longer as heroic as she was in military uniform, but has become completely charming. Look at her flowing eyes and the posture when she turns around to pour tea and walks -
Zhao Deji has seen countless women, and at a glance, he knew that they were the kind of watery tenderness that only appears when a woman is moistened by rain and dew. He had never seen this kind of tenderness in Hua Rong before, and only now did he discover it. The special aura of a mature woman is even more attractive than her pretty appearance as a girl.
Seeing this, my throat started to feel tight for some reason, and I felt angry and very disappointed. It was as if a red apple had been placed in front of me. I could have picked it as soon as I stretched out my hand, but someone else had beaten me to it. The cooked duck was also Flying away. This anger actually made my whole body feel hot and my face turned red.
Eunuch Kang and others thought it was just the stove. Hua Rong never noticed his change. She only served him tea and said respectfully: "Why do the officials come out incognito?"
Her gentle voice rang in his ears. Zhao Deji suddenly thought of the days at sea, and the anger in his heart faded away. He stared at her, sighed, and suddenly bowed.
Ever since he met Zhao Deji, first as the Ninth Prince and then as the Emperor, his status has always been extremely noble. Hua Rong was shocked when he saw that the emperor actually saluted him, and hurriedly said: "What's going on with the official family?"
Zhao Deji sighed heavily: "To be honest, Rong'er, I came here incognito this time because I really have something important to ask of you."
Hua Rong was even more surprised. What important matter required the emperor to personally take action? Wouldn’t an imperial edict solve the problem? Moreover, are you asking for yourself or Yue Pengju
She said cautiously: "Pengju will be back soon..."
"No, Rong'er, I'm actually begging you!"
Beg yourself!
Hua Rong was even more uneasy.
Zhao Deji took a sip of tea. This tea was fried by Hua Rong himself and placed on the stove. It was very light water. Although it was not the best quality, it had a warm and peaceful fragrance.
"Rong'er, these days, the Song and Jin Dynasties are negotiating peace. For the first time, the Jin Kingdom has sent an envoy from the Marshal's Office to negotiate peace..."
After Jin Wushu was defeated at sea, he joined the army and returned to the Kingdom of Jin. At this time, Lord Lang of the Kingdom of Jin was critically ill and later died of illness. Lord Lang saw that his sons had made great achievements in battle, and was afraid of a fight for the throne. Before he died, he ordered his younger brother to succeed him. He was known as Jin Taizong. The princes were very dissatisfied, especially Zong Han, who had always had deep conflicts with this uncle. Now, when they saw him succeeding to the throne, they immediately supported him. Jin Taizong had not yet matured his wings and did not dare to attack easily, so he vigorously Support brothers Zong Wang and Jin Wushu to fight against Zong Han.
As the main hero of the Southern Expedition, Zong Han naturally had a great say. The so-called envoys sent by the Marshal's Mansion refer to people sent by Zong Han. Years ago, Zong Han sent the Councilor of the Marshal's Mansion and the Anzhou regiment training envoy. Dr. Yinqing Guanglu and other important personnel went south to the Song Dynasty. This was the arrival of the first batch of official envoys from the Jin Kingdom since the war between Song and Jin Dynasties. Zhao Deji naturally welcomed it very much. The result of the discussion was nothing more than the territorial boundaries and tribute issues between the two sides; and the return of the Queen Mother.
It was not polite to come back but not reciprocate, so the Song Dynasty immediately decided to send a high-profile seasonal visit, with Yu Wenxuzhong, a scholar from Zizhengdian Palace, as the leader of the Daijin mission.
Hua Rong listened for a long time and looked at Zhao Deji in confusion. The two countries were communicating with each other and had friendly peace talks. In this situation, there were obviously positive factors, but what did this have to do with him
"Rong'er..."
Zhao Deji looked around, and Xu Caizhi, Eunuch Kang and others withdrew wisely.
Hua Rong was even more puzzled: "Guan family, this matter?"
Before Zhao Deji could say anything, he actually shed tears and burst into tears: "I was unfilial and let my mother live in the Kingdom of Jin and be humiliated by the captives..."
Hua Rong's heart trembled. She remembered what Jin Wushu had said about humiliating Zhao Deji when they were at sea. She suddenly understood in her heart that Zhao Deji was here to "beg" him to follow the envoy and go to the Kingdom of Jin to pick up his mother!
Sure enough, Zhao Deji wiped his tears and said in a deep voice: "I don't dare to let anyone know about the experience of the Queen Mother in the Kingdom of Jin. Even though Yu Wenxuzhong is experienced, after all, it is inconvenient for men and women. I am afraid that the Queen Mother is in a difficult situation and must be capable. Woman, please help. Rong'er, after thinking about it, I realized that you are the only one suitable in this world, so I come here to ask for your help... "
As a newlywed, Hua Rong and Yue Pengju spent less time together and more time away from each other. Emotionally, Hua Rong was unwilling to leave Yue Pengju and go to the strange country of Dajin to be a messenger. However, the emperor came in person incognito, so how could she refuse
Seeing her expression of embarrassment, Zhao Deji felt even more uncomfortable: "Rong'er, I am completely dependent on you sacrificing your life to save me so that I can return to the palace safely. Originally, I would not bother you again no matter what. However, this matter is not a trivial matter. It is a matter of great importance. My mother. No matter how unkind I am, how can I bear to let my mother suffer in a foreign land and live an inhuman life? However, since Jingkang, all my parents, brothers and sisters have been captured and killed, and there is no one close to me who I can trust. After much deliberation, I can’t find anyone more suitable than you... Rong’er, I’ll leave it to you... "
Hua Rong didn't know how to answer at all, so he just kept saluting: "Hua Rong will do his best..."
However, it is impossible to say exactly how to "try your best".
Originally, it would have been extremely easy for the emperor to "order" himself, but he was not giving an order, but a sincere request.
She was stunned when she suddenly heard an announcement outside the door that Yue Pengju was back.
