Wan Chengyan closed the window to cut off the bustle outside, so as not to make trouble.
Lingxuan's frown never let go, and she looked a lot gloomy.
"The crown prince is staring at him steadfastly. It's a little difficult to end the business of the Yun family," Lingxuan rubbed her head in pain, and found that this trip to Nanyu Kingdom was much more complicated than she imagined.
After counting all kinds of difficulties, she never thought that the Crown Prince of Nanyu Kingdom would be such a shameless and despicable person who would covet the Yun family's property so openly, so it would be considered inferior for Lingxuan to come to him.
At least Wanqi Lingxuan has ambitions but has always been secretive, not as thick-skinned as others.
As for the Yun family's business, Wan Qi Chengyan could only say that he didn't really understand it, so seeing her frowning in distress, he felt anxious, but he really didn't understand business, so he couldn't help him with anything.
"Xuan'er, why don't you discuss it with King Xian. He has always opposed the battle between the crown prince of Nanyu Kingdom and Dongyan Kingdom. In addition, Princess Xian is now pregnant, so she will miss the food of her homeland even more. If the Yun family is ended rashly, I am afraid that King Xian will not agree to all the business!" Wan Qi Chengyan thought that the reason why the Taobao Building was opened was the King Xian's credit, so he couldn't help thinking of finding a breakthrough from King Xian.
"Can it work?" Lingxuan could only express that she didn't have too much affection for that nervous King Xian, especially since he had given Jimo Leyao to Wanqi Lingxuan, which led to this unprovoked incident. war.
If King Xian knew that Lingxuan blamed himself for the war between the two countries, he would definitely complain: he wanted to make things difficult for the Queen, and sent her most beloved daughter to Dongyan Kingdom for marriage, but the matter of giving the marriage, The emperor of Dongyan Kingdom did it, so what does it matter to him
"Whether it's okay or not, at least the little princess is here, and we won't have any accidents!" No matter what King Xian wants, he doesn't mind doing something in the capital of Nanyu Kingdom, just to mess up their morale.
"Okay," Lingxuan finally agreed with Wanqi Chengyan's decision, and found that there was no better attention than this. "Then how do you see it?" The prince will definitely pay attention to it all the time, after all Xian Wang is also a threat to him, once they appear, they only need to do a little research to find out their identities.
She didn't realize how honorable her status was, but, in the face of war, money was king.
Without food and grass, even if your army is powerful, what use is it
"wait,"
There is nothing they can do except a "wait".
I don't want to attract attention, so I can only wait helplessly. I hope that the little princess can come to Taojialou for a meal as soon as possible. At that time, they will discuss with her first. As for the future, they can only take one step at a time .
While waiting for Duanmuyao, Lingxuan and Wanqi Chengyan went back and forth between Taozhenlou and the inn in a very low-key manner. Although Xiaoer wanted to deliver food to the inn, Lingxuan refused.
If it doesn't make people feel used to it, when Duanmu Yao comes, they will have no excuse to see her.
For five days in a row, Lingxuan and Wanqi Chengyan patiently shuttled between the two points, waiting for Duanmuyao's arrival. The waiter and waiter at the Taobaolou are used to them, and they know that they will come here to eat on time every day, so they prepare carefully early, even if there are only two guests, they can't take it lightly.
On the sixth day, Lingxuan and Wanqi Chengyan went to the Taobaolou for dinner as usual. As soon as they entered, they found that the atmosphere was not right. Xiao Er was busier than usual. Although there was no one in the lobby, the atmosphere was obviously much better than before .
"Two guest officers, please sit down first, wait for a while." Knowing that they were not of that kind of power, Xiao Er could only greet them first, and then went to the kitchen to pass the dishes.
Since the incident in the Taobaolou, all the mistresses recruited locally have left, so at the busiest time, he can only be the mistress and shopkeeper by himself, taking on several roles.
Lingxuan waited for a while, seeing that Xiaoer was sweating from exhaustion, she let him rest for a while, ordered a few dishes, and then asked curiously: "What's the matter? Is there a guest?" ?"
"Yeah," Xiao Er showed a faint smile on his face, nodded and said, "Princess Xian is dining upstairs. Although the kitchen was prepared early, after Princess Xian became pregnant, the taste changed a lot, so it is inevitable If you don't notice it for a while, you will be in a hurry!" As long as Princess Xian does not dislike this place, it will not be completely closed, and the prince's conspiracy will not succeed.
The shopkeeper would rather have an accident by himself and suffer in prison than hand over the money belonging to the Yun family, because he doesn't want Nanyu country to get the money and attack Dongyan country, which is their country, with their hometown and relatives, So no matter what, even if it is death, the scheme of the crown prince of Nanyu Kingdom cannot be succeeded.
As expected, Lingxuan and Wanqi Cheng Yanwan looked at each other, neither of them asked to see Princess Xian, but asked Xiaoer to greet the distinguished guests, so they didn't have to worry about them.
Xiao Er was very grateful in his heart, and was afraid that if he made another mistake, his only bargaining chip would be lost, so he nodded and bowed gratefully for a long time, and hurried upstairs to wait on him.
"What should I do?" Lingxuan couldn't help being excited when she thought of Anu, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, upstairs. It's a pity that Anu's status is noble now, and she's pregnant. There must be many people around her. It's a bit difficult for her to meet her in a low-key situation.
"Let's take a look first," Wan Chengyan raised his head to look at the stairs, and saw that there should be no one there. But now there are figures walking back and forth alternately from time to time, presumably to protect Duanmu Yao.
If they knew what King Xian was thinking, they would be able to startle them, but they didn't get Duanmuyao's affirmation. The most suitable opportunity.
He is alone, he is not afraid of any danger, and it is the easiest way to escape. However, with Xuan'er by her side, only Xuan'er can gain Duanmuyao's trust, and she can't let her leave, so she can only wait patiently for the best opportunity.
Knowing that Duanmuyao is upstairs but suffering from no chance, Lingxuan is very anxious, she has no appetite for anything to eat, her eyes look at the stairs from time to time, expecting that Duanmuyao will come down suddenly, so that she can meet her .
As if knowing the anxiety in Yun Lingxuan's heart, there was the sound of plates being smashed upstairs, and Xiao Er was about to go upstairs with a pale complexion, but a pale yellow figure came out of the stairs, making Lingxuan's eyes brighten up— That was Duanmuyao's personal servant girl when she was in Runan Palace, and she also knew her.
"I accidentally broke a plate just now, and I'll serve you another plate of light dishes," the servant girl stood at the foot of the stairs and ordered Xiao Er, who relieved Xiao Er who had a pale face, and quickly nodded and said: " All right, all right, right now, right now!"
The pale yellow figure turned around and was about to leave, which made Lingxuan very anxious, and blurted out angrily without thinking: "Xiao Er, where is our food? Why hasn't it been served for so long?"
Xiaoeryi, who had turned to go to the kitchen, was a little dazed when he heard their attack, but he still replied subconsciously: "Come on, come on, I will go to remind you immediately..." What is this, sad reminder!
Duanmuyao's maid originally turned around and wanted to leave after giving orders to Xiaoer, but when she heard a voice that seemed a little familiar, she couldn't help turning around with some doubts, and immediately raised her face when she saw the familiar person staring at her with wide eyes. She smiled, and when she was about to call for someone, she saw the person coming and shook her head seriously, and immediately nodded slightly in understanding, then turned and went upstairs.
Seeing that she was recognized by others, Lingxuan was also slightly relieved, and was quite excitedly waiting for Duanmuyao to meet her.
The maids trained by those rich families are all human beings. The maid recognized her but was rejected by herself. I believe she should be smart enough to sense the current situation, so she didn't recognize them directly. Yes, Duanmu Yao will know her existence.
Sure enough, after a while, a familiar voice came from upstairs that made Lingxuan feel like crying.
"Who dares to grab food from this princess, you, go and call that woman up," Duanmu Yao's voice sounded from the second floor, and it was clearly transmitted downstairs.
"Don't worry," Lingxuan comforted him first, fearing that Wanqi Chengyan would be worried.
"I know," he watched Duanmuyao and Lingxuan's friendship all the way, naturally he was not afraid that Duanmuyao would hurt Lingxuan.
The servant girl who had just gone downstairs came down again, and after explaining what the princess wanted, she kindly comforted her: "Don't be afraid, the princess is just a little lonely because this huge gluttonous building is no longer as lively as before. Ma'am will not do anything to you if you go up to have dinner together."
"Is...is it?" Lingxuan pretended to be panicked and followed behind the maidservant.
After going up to the second floor, she found that there were indeed many people protecting Duanmuyao, and in the private room, there were only Duanmuyao and the servant girl, which showed that she couldn't bear being followed by so many people.
However, Xian Wang couldn't afford to lose because of her sensitive identity, so she could only let her arrange so many people unhappy.
As soon as Lingxuan entered the room, the maid immediately closed the door, so that the guards didn't even have a chance to check.
"Xuan'er," Duanmu Yao puffed out her stomach, seeing the most familiar person in her memory, she couldn't help but her eyes were red.
"You're still pregnant, don't get too excited," Lingxuan immediately stepped forward to hold her hand, and said comfortingly, "I'm here, don't cry!"
Stretching out her hand to touch her own Duanmuyao, she tried her best to calm down her mood, fearing that if she couldn't help it, she would burst into tears and cause a lot of unnecessary troubles.
"It's great to see you." As if she couldn't believe it, she reached out and touched Lingxuan's cheek, feeling that she was really in front of her, not because she missed everything in Dongyan Kingdom too much. I couldn't help but choked up sobbing.
God knows that she married to Nanyu Country alone, without familiar people, without the scenery in her memory, she is completely unfamiliar, and what she has to face is constant conspiracy and calculation, as well as strong ridicule and disdain, which she has never experienced before Passed, but must face.
She is a princess with relatives, so no accidents can happen, but she faces more humiliation. King Xian can't be by her side all the time. Everything she faces is forcing her to grow up. Only then does she know that she is in Dongyan How happy I was when I was in China, being loved and cared by so many people.
In the entire Nanyu Kingdom, only the Taobao Tower made her feel at ease. Sitting here, she felt that she had returned to the capital, because the layout here was the same as that of the capital. Occasionally, in a trance, she realized that she had not left Dongyan Kingdom , the girls were chatting and laughing in the Taobao building, so happy and carefree, but when they woke up from the dream, they found that everything had changed.
"How old is the baby?" Knowing her emotional agitation, Lingxuan could only change the subject.
Leaving everything she was familiar with alone, and coming to a strange place, everything must be done by herself, she knows Duanmuyao's hardships and helplessness. With children and sustenance, it will be much better in the future.
She believed that both King Runan and Princess Runan were the same as herself, and she only hoped that Anu would live well.
"It's been more than six months." Speaking of the child, it was the only thing that made her happy, so there was a little more tenderness and stability between the brows, Duanmuyao who knew Lingxuan was a completely different person.
Time, indeed, can force people to grow.
That cute little girl who only wants to eat is something that everyone doesn't want to destroy that innocence. But it happened that such a simple person became a married princess, which made people sigh and feel helpless.
"That's great, you will have your own child soon." Lingxuan thought of something, and said with a smile, "Now, only sister Yue'er has a son. I didn't expect you to be faster than us."
"Hehe, King Xian also likes this child very much." With such a simple sentence, he told Lingxuan that she was doing well here.
"It's fine if you like it." After all, they are the ones who will spend the rest of their lives together in the future. Lingxuan still hopes that King Xian will take care of Anu and keep her in his heart. She is worthy of being cherished by others.
The two chatted for a while, and when Duanmuyao's mood improved, she took the initiative to ask: "Xuan'er, why did you come to Nanyu Kingdom? Aren't the two countries at war now? Are you coming so rashly?" What will be wrong?" She is the most clear about the prince's ambitions, and she understands why the Taobao Building has become like this, so she is very worried about Lingxuan's safety.
Seeing Anu caring about herself as always, a smile overflowed from the corner of Lingxuan's mouth, she looked at her with a light smile and said, "I should have come to see you when I came to Nanyu Kingdom, but...you know, my current status is the most Sensitive, if the Crown Prince of Nanyu Kingdom finds out, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble for you and King Xian. However, I have to come, so I want to meet you and ask King Xian what he thinks about that war. So that I can make a decision in my heart!"
If everyone in Nanyu Kingdom supports that war, then there is no need for him to stay in Nanyu Kingdom. But if there is a chance, she will fight for it.
"Prince Xian's thoughts..." Duanmuyao rubbed her belly, comforting her once and for all, and after thinking for a while, said: "I only know that Prince Xian is full of dissatisfaction with the crown prince, and his title of prince is queen Let the emperor seal it, so that he can understand that he is the king of idleness, and don't have unreasonable feelings. However, the prince's actions this time include instigating war, including targeting the Yun family, and including causing Nanyu Kingdom's economic crisis. The changes have already caused a lot of dissatisfaction, and there are many impeachments, but they can't stand the power of the queen's family, so there is only a lot of thunder and little rain... This gluttonous building was protected by King Xian's painstaking efforts."
Here, there are too many memories of her, if they are gone, she doesn't know if she can survive in Nanyu Kingdom.
As soon as Lingxuan heard that the prince was so unpopular and only relying on his power to hold on, a bold thought came to her mind, wondering if King Xian had the ambition to overwhelm the prince.
Such a despicable and shameless villain, if he really sat in that position in the future, would he still have room for King Xian
She felt that every prince would have his own power, just like Wanqi Chengyan, who looked inconspicuous, but had no less control than that prince, so if King Xian had his own power, he could compete with the prince. one time.
But, how should I tell that idle king
"King Xian once told me that the Yun family's business cannot be troubled in Nanyu Kingdom." Seeing Lingxuan's silence, Duanmuyao hesitated for a moment before speaking quietly.
She didn't know what deep meaning was in Xian Wang's words, but she always felt that he had grasped something and didn't say it clearly.
On the surface, it was because of him that Tao Teng Lou was taken down by Xian Wang, but in fact, he kept all the business of the Yun family, but it just made the Yun family less popular than before, and those shopkeepers who were arrested were still not arrested. Just let it out.
"Why?" Lingxuan looked surprised, she didn't expect King Xian to say this to Anu, what is hidden in it
Duanmu Yao shook her head and said blankly, "I don't know. After I asked several times, he changed the topic or kept silent. I didn't find out anything!"
It was because nothing really happened in Taobaolou that she didn't tell Lingxuan.
Moreover, something really happened in the Taobao Tower, even if I wanted to find someone to send a letter to the East Yan Kingdom.
Because of Duanmuyao's words, Lingxuan felt a little downhearted, so she opened her mouth and looked at her and said seriously: "Anu, there is no need to be on guard between us, I came to Nanyu Kingdom to accept the Yun Family from Nanyu Kingdom. Business, so that Nanyu Kingdom can't raise military supplies, and when the war is defeated without a fight, it can give Prince Rui a chance. But now, the crown prince is eyeing the Yun family, and I can't do anything, so you go back and tell Xian Wang, ask him if he wants to cooperate with the Yun family, if not, after I leave, the Yun family in the entire Nanyu country will disappear at once, and it will not bring any benefits to the Nanyu country... "
Duanmuyao looked at Yun Lingxuan who suddenly changed her momentum, and suddenly looked a little surprised, she couldn't help opening her mouth slightly to look at her, a little stunned.
"I just hope for peace between the two countries, and I don't want to cause unnecessary troubles because of my personal desires, Anu, do you understand?" Lingxuan said in a more serious tone, "That's why my son and I came from Dongyan Kingdom regardless of danger. The biggest reason for the Nanyu Kingdom!"
If it wasn't for this, they could completely ignore the Yun family's business in Nanyu Kingdom. Losing money is a trivial matter, and people's safety is the most important thing.
After Duanmuyao experienced all the injustices of being married to Nanyu Kingdom, she knew that only Dongyan Kingdom is strong, and she has a foothold in Nanyu Kingdom. It will also hurt the child in her belly and become despised by others, so she gritted her teeth and agreed with Lingxuan's statement, and supported her in doing so.
"Don't worry, I've taken this matter to heart. After I go back, I will discuss it with the lord." Even if the lord disagrees, she will protect the safety of Lingxuan and the prince.
They can come here to take risks for the East Yan Kingdom, why can't they themselves.
In Dongyan Kingdom, there are her father, mother and concubine, as well as her brother and relatives, she can't ignore it, she can't ignore it.
Seeing Anu's decisive look, Lingxuan was a little worried, but also very helpless, so she could only tell her: "If you find it difficult, don't talk about it. We will find another way to deal with this matter!" They came, I also want to know if Anu is well and if King Xian treats her well.
If everything about her has been changed because of my arrival, that's not what I want to see.
"Don't worry, King Xian treats me pretty well, at least for the sake of the child in his stomach, he won't do anything to me," Duanmuyao knew this very well.
She has never been a little bit proud because of her pregnancy, but has always maintained her heart, and it is enough to eat and drink enough. Because of this, King Xian became more and more interested in her.
Lingxuan chatted with Duanmuyao again, fearing that Wanqi Chengyan would be worried downstairs, so she made contact with Duanmuyao, and waited for her news here five days later, and then went downstairs to talk to Wanqicheng Yan left together.
Duanmuyao ate upstairs for a while longer, and then got on the carriage with her belly outstretched and was protected by a lot of guards, and left the Taobao Tower.
Standing at the door and window of the inn, looking at the well-protected Duanmu Yao, Lingxuan said worriedly: "I don't know if we will hurt Anu this time!"
"If King Xian doesn't have the grace to tolerate even this, I believe the life of the little princess will not be easy in the future." Some things can't be seen on the surface.
If Xian Wang really cared about Duanmuyao, he would know that what she cared about was those relatives far away in East Yan Kingdom.
No matter how good the idle king is, he is also a lover who has been together for several years. Those people in East Yan Kingdom were her close relatives, close relatives who could never forget her for the rest of her life, and there was no way to compare the two.
Lingxuan didn't make a sound, knowing that the matter had come to an end, it was useless to worry too much, so she could only silently watch the carriage drift away...
The days of waiting have always been difficult. Lingxuan and Wanqi Chengyan endured the boredom, shuttled between two o'clock, and occasionally went to the street to let Ying'er and Luliu check out the current situation. In some forms of Nan Yu Kingdom, it is better to be blind and dazed, not even aware of causing trouble.
