Don’t Spoil Me, General - C149
“Let’s go.” Yulixiao stood up, walked two steps, then turned his head to look at Yu Yan. His brows slightly furrowed, and said in a heavy voice: “Stop drinking, go back and rest. Mo Wenli, follow me. ”
“Eh, does the king also want me to do errands for him?” Mo Wenli laughed and said that intentionally.
“Go.” Yulixiao ignored him, and stared at Yu Yan.
Yu Yan could only get up and bring Nian An with him as she walked slowly behind them. It looked like it wanted to avoid any suspicion, but its ears were propped up, wanting to hear what Mo Wenli had to say and why he had to leave her alone.
Unexpectedly, the two of them did not say a word along the way. On the other hand, Mo Wenli suddenly extended his right hand behind him and gave her three fingers, shaking them slightly.
Yu Yan turned her face away and stopped at the side of the road. After the two of them left the garden, she brought Nian An along with them.
“Esteemed wangfei, what do you say it is that you don’t want the Empress to hear?”
“I can’t guess. Why don’t you ask around?” Yu Yan said softly.
Nian An shook her head like a rattle drum, and said repeatedly: “No, I don’t dare. If king finds out, I’ll definitely die.”
“Coward.” Yu Yan looked at her, her gaze falling on her hair, she shook his head: “You really like this hairpin.”
Nian An caressed the hairpin and fidgeted a little before taking it off and putting it in her belt. She said softly, “I won’t be bringing it since my consort doesn’t like it.”
“As long as you like it.” Yu Yan slowly walked over and whispered, “It’s rare to see you like something so much.”
“I like Princess Hua-Yang very much.” Nian An quickly curried favor with her.
“Am I a thing?”
After Yu Yan asked this question, she heavily slapped her forehead, and was wrapped by Nian An the first time.
“The princess is a beauty.”
Yu Yan looked up and saw several unfamiliar young ladies standing in front of him, each more beautiful than the last.
These were all the beauties his underlings had given him! A few days ago, he only said that he wanted to choose a place to enter, but he didn’t expect that he would enter today.
The girls then had the good fortune to greet Yu Yan.
Yu Yan looked closely at the leader. The leader of the group looked exceptionally smart and was also the most beautiful. A round face, a pair of big black eyes filled with love, her cherry lips curved into a smile, staring at Yu Yan. Standing next to her, there was a familiar look on her face. She was also charming and was a beauty.
Yu Yan swept a glance at them, lightly nodded, and softly said: “Get up.”
They stood up and looked at her curiously. Some of them just lowered their heads and twisted their handkerchiefs.
“You guys can take a stroll around.”
Yu Yan’s mouth suddenly turned stupid, she replied randomly and walked past the few of them.
“Nine.” Nian An turned around and glanced at them. With a frown, she said in an extremely displeased tone, “These lackeys sent so many people in just to get a share of the Empress’s favor.”
Yu Yan did not make a sound, so why did Yulixiao not reject?
Seeing her displeased expression, Nian An took two steps forward, held her hands and said softly, “Wangfei, don’t take it to heart too much, it must be that the people below are trying to curry favor with king, so king has to put on an act. After all, they are still fighting, so let’s treat them as girls.”
Yu Yan laughed and patted her hands, then said softly: “Go take care of her at Nian En’s place. Once she can sit up, I’ll let Mo Wenli take her away.”
Nian An could not understand, and looked at Yu Yan curiously, “But, why is it Mo Wenli? You two have only known each other, why didn’t you let king send her away? ”
Yu Yan looked at her but didn’t explain.
Nian An would never understand, Nian En had lied and did things for others, Yulixiao did not have her own reasons. It was impossible for her to live this long, and it was all on Yu Yan’s account, for him to take out a few men from his subordinates to send Nian En off.
Yulixiao liked Yu Yan because her thoughts were unique and she could always understand him. She was his kind heart, and there were some things that didn’t need to be said, as Yu Yan also understood his thoughts. But she and him were both exceptionally sharp natured people, and since they were both trying hard to keep their sharpness in their bodies and not hurt each other, why would Yu Yan keep looking for trouble, to make him unhappy?
Just like he said, letting Yun Qin go back and forth, and letting Nian En go back and forth between two and three times, those were all crimes of certain death, the ruler of a nation, the head of the Steel Cavalry, he should have kept his promise. His way of speech should have been very clear about rewards and penalties, thus, Yu Yan did not need to bother him with her own trivial matters, he did not object to Yu Yan asking him to do this, and that alone showed his intentions.
He is Yulixiao, he is the king.
Yu Yan was only his woman, so no matter how much she spoiled her, she had to follow his wishes.
Nian An was still muttering to herself when a sense of impatience suddenly arose in her heart. She waved her hand and softly said: “Quickly go and look at Nian En. Don’t follow me anymore.”
“Yes.” Seeing that she was angry, Nian An did not dare to speak anymore and quickly ran over to where Nian En lived.
Yu Yan picked up a flower and placed it under her nose to smell it.
“The wangfei is in a bad mood.”
Yu Qingan’s voice came from the front, she turned to look, only to see Yu Qingan holding onto a few small oiled bags, and nodded his head.
“Get medicine for the young prefecture lord?”
“I’m here to send the nine ladies to the palace. These are all made personally by the lowly imperial concubine for the imperial concubine.” Yu Qingan smiled and handed over the oil paper bag.
“Thank you.” Yu Yan received it and gave it to the guard Bai Ying who was behind him.
These four people, apart from her, were practically inseparable from her.
Yu Qingan was generous, he cupped his hands and left.
“Where did they all come from?” Yu Yan held on until now, but she still could not muster up any magnanimity, so she stopped Yu Qingan.
“Oh, two of them were chosen by my father, and one of them is the little sister of my aunt, Liu Mengxi. One was the house’s muse, gifted to king to ease his boredom. The other seven are from all over the country. ” Yu Qingan smiled and looked ahead.
Only then did Yu Yan remember that the singer was the one who looked a little similar to her. A few days ago, she was dancing, and at that time, Yulixiao was indeed staring at her for a little longer. These people were too keen on guessing. They all had generous personalities and would probably choose based on her characteristics.
The corner of her mouth slightly pursed, returning to normal. She lightly swept a glance at Yu Qingan, and slowly walked forward.
“Respectfully sending off your consort.” Yu Qingan cupped his fists and said softly.
“Don’t send me off. Come with me for a while.” Yu Yan said slowly.
Yu Qingan was startled and quickly followed.
“Grand Duke, what does your wife like? Bring her back home.” Yu Yan casually asked.
“She only likes to stay in the mansion and read books, embroider flowers, and grow flowers to support the grass.” Yu Qingan laughed.
“How many children do you have?” Yu Yan asked again.
“Only one daughter, nine years old.” Yu Qingan said.
“Then you’ve been married for a long time.”
Yu Yan turned her head around, somewhat happy. So it turns out that the nobles really do have this kind of love. There were concubines among the nobles, but the position of Madam would definitely be chosen after careful consideration.
“Madam and I have been married for six years and haven’t been able to raise a child yet. This child was born to me by a servant girl, Xi Ye. I helped her become a concubine, but she went off to give birth to her daughter.” Yu Qingan hesitated for a moment and looked at Yu Yan honestly.
“This way …” Yu Yan nodded her head and laughed, “The Grand Duke is a good man.
“It’s not Madam’s fault that she wasn’t raised yet. It’s her concubines who are jealous of each other. She doesn’t understand this, so I dismissed her.” Yu Qingan frowned, his tone heavy.
Yu Yan looked at him deeply. All these deep palaces were women’s cages! If the lucky one would meet someone like Yu Qingan, the lucky ones would have to accept it themselves.
The arrival of these women, caused Yu Yan’s heart, which had finally calmed down, to once again ripple. Although she knew that it was not Yulixiao’s intention, she still found it hard to calm down.
“Today is the annual concert in Tai Zhou City. Many young ladies and men will sing with each other, especially the girls in the cruise liner. Their singing throats are very moving, so the Empress can go out and relax.” Yu Qingan said from behind her.
“Really? A concert? ” Yu Yan was amused, and said in a low voice: “But your Tai Zhou is not the place with the most outsiders.
“Father’s governance is very civilized. Our Tai Zhou has many merchants from the Tian Mo Empire, as well as people from outside this region. That’s why Father had all the clans bring up their festive days to celebrate with the whole city.” Yu Qingan smiled with a somewhat proud look on his face.
It should be known with pride that Yu Fengxiao was a very capable person. Tai Zhou City was a very unique place, even in the whole world. Even Yulixiao wouldn’t dare to say that he was able to create a set of Tai Zhou. Managing mountains and rivers were two different things. From a certain perspective, governing was even more difficult. Power, strategy, measurement, wisdom, knowledge …
“Then I must go and have a look.” Yu Yan smiled and nodded, then looked at Yu Qingan and said, “Grand Duke, thank you for accompanying me. I will pick out a good gift and have someone send it to your residence.”
“Thank you, wangfei.” Yu Qingan bowed once, then turned and left.
Yu Yan stared at him for a while, then asked softly: “Bai Ying, how much older is Yu Qingan than his second and third brother? Was he born of the mistress? ”
Bai Ying thought, and immediately replied.
“Yu Qingan is six years older than Yu Qinghong, and was born under the first wife of Yu Fengxiao. When he was five years old, his second wife gave birth to Yu Qinghong, and he only celebrated the fight by studying martial arts all day long, looking for people to fight in the arena. The fourth son is too young, but he is indeed the pearl in Yu Fengxiao’s palm. ”
“He is so calm and magnanimous. If he is not truly a sage, then he is very frightening. People who pay homage to the family cannot be trusted.” Yu Yan shook her head and whispered.
Bai Ying nodded, and said in a low voice: “king knows.”
Yu Yan laughed, he knew that he was also good at scheming, and had to make use of various powers to help him. In this world, even the emperor had to balance all aspects of the relationship in order for the country to move forward smoothly. If the country was not stable, where would it be stable?
She was suddenly completely calm. Why bother with these flashy surfaces? As long as that person did not touch these beauties, the rest would be their lives. If he really couldn’t control his flashiness, then she wouldn’t have to obsess over it.
She straightened her back and quickly walked back, saying in a crisp voice, “Go back and change your clothes. Go watch the concert.”
“Out of the house? We have to report this to king first. ” Bai Ying hurriedly said.
“Go and report it to him. If he doesn’t have anything to report, then forget it.” Without turning back, Yu Yan took even bigger steps.
“king must have lost what he was doing and came over.” Bai Ying laughed.
“Who knows?” Yu Yan laughed.
He did not know what was going on, but he still had to call Mo Wenli and run away. But Yu Yan guessed that Yulixiao did not want Mo Wenli to sit with her there.
Yulixiao looked at the person kneeling in front of him, his thick eyebrows knitted tightly.
“This was found in the palace. Eunuch asked me to send it over to the king.”
The person opened the box. Inside the box was an inkstone. This inkstone was the same one that had committed the crimes in the past, and on the inkstone was a silver lock.
Yulixiao looked at the ink stone and ignored it. He then picked up the silver lock and placed it on it, frowning.
The one Yu Yan had, should be a pair with this one. The bead in Yu Yan’s lock was white, and this one was black!
“What is this?” Yulixiao held the lock, raised his head and looked at the man, and asked softly.
“The inkstone that Master Yu committed the crime back then. There is a secret letter in the middle of it.” The man quickly opened the observation deck.
Yulixiao took the secret letter and quickly opened it. There were words on it that he could not understand.
“These are the words of the An Xi clansmen.” the man said.
“An Xi Race?” Yulixiao’s brows tightened even more. This was an extremely valiant people of Tianmo Kingdom, they had fought against the imperial family for dozens of years and refused to lower their heads, but in the end, they were sold out by their own people. The Patriarch brought the last of their troops to the edge of the cliff and they jumped off the cliff together.
“No one in the manor understands the words of the An Xi Clan, but there is a merchant from the Tian Mo Continent. They are travelling far and wide, so they might understand.” Nie Shuangcheng whispered.
“Go find him.” Yulixiao nodded, his gaze returning to the lock.
Yu Yan’s background was unknown, could she be an orphan from the An Xi? If that was the case, then it would be troublesome. The Heavenly Desert Imperial Family had once said that they would kill the last person with An Xi.
“All of you, go down.” He dismissed the crowd and paced around the room a few times, asking softly, “Eunuch Fu, where are the chains that asked you to fight again?”
“I have already sent it, but please be at ease king, the craftsman will not say too much.” Eunuch Fu bowed in reply.
“Be careful.” Yulixiao frowned.
“Yes, this servant will handle this matter. king, please rest assured.” Eunuch Fu said again.
“king, the Empress went to watch the concert.” Nie Shuangcheng’s voice came from outside.
“Running around again.” Yulixiao frowned slightly.
“When the wangfei saw those beauties, she was unhappy. It was Yu Qingan who said a few more words in front of the wangfei.” Nie Shuangcheng explained from outside.
“Forget it. We have to go and see the Celestial Merchant. Let’s go.” Yulixiao shook his head, and then simply opened the door and left. However, they were only beauties. She was still too petty to tolerate them.
“By the way, Young Master Fu, apart from the young mistress of the Royal House, the rest should be sent to the generals for them to choose.” He went out and said something else.
“How does Miss Cousin arrange it?” Steward Fu didn’t dare make the decision and immediately asked.
“Let her stay first.” Yulixiao frowned. He was an old cunning fox, he had to carefully deal with them.
“Then… Why not let either Jin Cheng or Master An Hong marry her? Steward Fu immediately suggested.
“You old boy, you think pretty fast. Jin Cheng and An Hong have no intention to get married, let’s talk about it later. ” Yulixiao looked at him and said solemnly.
“We can meet first.” The Steward Fu laughed.
Yulixiao stopped and stared at him. He asked curiously, “Why are you helping the wangfei like this? Didn’t you take a lot of money from Lord Ye, Lord Qiu and the others? ”
“king is very clear. This silver, even if others do not accept it, they would still accept it. If this slave accepts it, at least they would not do anything else, but they can still protect it in secret, no? It could also be said that this servant was basked in Princess Hua-Yang’s glory. ”
“Fu Jin, your thoughts …” “Go on and do something.” Yulixiao pointed at him and walked away.
The Steward Fu straightened his back, turned his head to look in the direction Yu Yan was staying at, and started to frown.
“Eunuch Fu, where would you like to stay?”
The young eunuchs by his side gathered around him, seeking his advice.
“Let her pick out where she wants to live, please be more respectful and let her be pampered. Go to the generals again to pass on king’s message, get them to come to the manor and pick their own. Tell me everything in a nice way, king is kind to you, king is grateful, king and the generals have had their share of good fortune … Make it up! If anything is amiss, be careful of the board. ” Steward Fu dragged his face and taught them a lesson.
“Yes.” Everyone nodded, lowered their heads, dropped their hands, and quickly began to work.
Steward Fu took a deep breath and slowly walked out of the courtyard.
The sunlight just so happened to seep in through the branches, scattering gold all over the ground. There was not a single trace of it. The bird flew up from the branch, flapped its wings, and fell straight to the ground.
One of the guards picked it up and saw that there was blood under the bird’s feathers. The other guard came over and observed and suddenly said: “Just now, there was some trouble in the garden. Could it be true? ”
“Tell king …” The duo stared at one another in shock. Mo Wenli’s kung fu was this high?
