Chapter 71: Jinyutai 19
"Master Guo Shi, it's been a long time." Yu Yao saluted, her face a lot haggard.
After all, they are all the same, Chen Rong's attitude towards Yu Yao is somewhat closer, and nodded with a smile: "Indeed."
These days she has been taking care of Murongli and the emperor, but she doesn't care much about other things. However, the old harem came to the new, and Yu Yao didn't make too much splash.
"Hey..." Yu Yao sighed and flipped her sleeves, "I knew I wouldn't be in the palace back then, this palace is so boring."
Chen Rong was a little curious: "Why do you say this?"
Yu Yao looked at Chen Rong and smiled: "To be honest, I already know that your identity is the same as mine." She looked at the lights in the palace, "I envy you so much, At least you don't have to follow any emotional lines, you don't know how difficult it is to conquer Murong Qiankun, I guess my mission must have failed this time."
Chen Rong nodded unexpectedly: "The emperor is always a little difficult."
She sympathized with Yu Yao from the bottom of her heart, this Murong Qiankun's heart is like a stone, how could it be that others can be moved?
Yu Yao had a bitter expression on her face: "Everyone else is attacking the domineering lord or something, what about me? An old man, who really can't do it, is not as good as Murong Yexuan."
Chen Rong felt a little funny when she heard this sentence, and it was interesting to fall in love with Murong Yexuan, but unfortunately Yu Yao changed her core this time, otherwise he would not be so comfortable. But I'm just afraid of the rhythm of dying alone.
"By the way, I heard that the Nine Lords assassinated you, you should be more careful." Yu Yao sighed and waved her hand in a melancholy: "Then I will leave."
Chen Rong looked at her back and felt that this high-spirited girl had already been wasted by time. It can be seen that she is very kind in every task.
"You are such a good system." Chen Rong couldn't help but sighed and sighed.
"Then what do you think." There was a little pride in the system's voice.
After Yu Yao reminded Chen Rong over there, she chose to end the mission. When she woke up early the next morning, she was already another person.
However, Chen Rong didn't know it for the time being, until the maid came to report, and only then did she know that Yu Guiren lost her mind.
Murongli nibbled on half a soft steamed bun, and said vaguely: "Women in the harem are really not easy, that Yu Guiren usually speaks very interestingly, it's a pity."
Chen Rong didn't think she was out of her mind. Most of the time, she just changed people, "You eat your food well, and don't touch Yu Yao again."
"Are you jealous?" Murong Li looked at Chen Rong with a smile, waiting for her caring words.
Murong Li took a sip of tea, and Chen Rong became curious: "Then I'm going to have a look, come with me, anyway, you two have a good relationship."
Chen Rong said frankly: "There is no friendship."
"Then are you going?" Murongli approached Chen Rong and tilted her head: "Huh?"
Chen Rong still has business to deal with, so she met Murong Li's eyes and nodded: "Okay, but I will be leaving the palace at noon, so I can't stay too long."
Murong Li hugged her arm angrily and shook it twice: "Why are you so busy, you haven't practiced sword with me for a long time."
"Then you can practice diligently." Chen Rong patted her head, like coaxing a small animal.
Qionghua Temple.
The emperor rarely came in person, but Yu Yao was still in the room and refused to go out.
When Chen Rong came, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Aiqing came at the right time, hurry up and see what happened to the nobleman?"
Chen Rong said yes, and was about to step into the house, but Murongli gently grabbed the hem of her clothes and looked back at her.
"You are not safe alone, I will accompany you." Murong Li said.
"No need, it's not a beast." Chen Rong smiled, pulled Murong Li's hand away, and walked in by himself.
"Why does Li'er care so much about the national teacher?" Murong Qiankun asked suddenly, he was someone who was used to seeing wind and waves, Murong Li was her daughter, and he could see it at a glance her mind.
"I..." Murong Li choked, didn't expect to answer for a long time, then said at the end: "Teacher's comfort, Li'er is naturally worried."
Murong Qiankun laughed, not saying anything.
"Go out, I don't want to see anyone." The woman's voice was hoarse and low.
"Yu Yao." Chen Rong lifted the gauze and went in. Looking at the pale face, he intuitively said that he was not the original person.
"Who are you?" Yu Yao narrowed her eyes and looked at Murongli, "Why don't I remember someone like you?" She curled the corner of her mouth: "You are also from outside?"
Chen Rong couldn't figure out what Yu Yao's situation was for a while, so she pursed her lips and didn't speak. Looking at Yu Yao's reaction, the other party was even more calm than she thought.
However, the hostility of the other party is obvious.
"Forget it." Chen Rong sighed softly and walked out of the room to meet Murong Qiankun and Murong Li's eyes, "The noble person is fine, and there is nothing wrong, it's just that his nerves are affected. There is something wrong. If His Majesty is still too close to him, I am afraid that he will hurt himself."
Murong Qiankun did not suspect him, and nodded: "In that case, send her to Wutong Palace to rest."
The Wutong Palace is next to the Leng Palace, but the people in the Leng Palace are all concubines who have made mistakes by depriving them of their status, and the Wutong Palace and the Leng Palace are not much different.
An Zhong said yes, and hurriedly went down to make arrangements.
Chen Rong and Murong Li left together, many maids were cleaning the fallen leaves on the road, and Murong Li stepped on Chen Rong's shadow and followed her happily.
Chen Rong's eyes fell on the two shadows on the ground, hooked the corners of his mouth, and suddenly turned around, Murong Li slammed directly into her arms, before he could react, he heard a chuckle from above his head Voice.
"Why are you so confused?"
Murong Li hugged her waist and said with a smile: "I only do this in front of the Grand Master."
Chen Rong pursed her lips and raised her hand, just when Murong Li thought she was going to knock her, she saw her gently pulling the broken hair on her forehead behind her ear.
Murong Li's ears were a little hot, but she still looked into Chen Rong's eyes.
"Little fool." Chen Rong smiled, but his tone was full of unconscious tenderness.
what?"
Chen Rong thought for a while: "Just say it casually."
Chen Rong was actually afraid that Yu Yao would hurt Murong Li.
She guessed that most of the current Yu Yao is the original Yu Yao, otherwise she would not say such words. If she was the original heroine, and she knew everything, then... of course she had to get rid of it.
Chen Rongxiao did not have the slightest flaw, but her own plans had already arisen in her heart, "Why are you so concerned about these things, and I don't see when you have studied seriously?"
"But you can master those things, as long as you know it, I will probably know it." Murongli said her crooked reasoning without any guilt, and she was beaming: "Anyway, we are ourselves. people."
Chen Rong sighed, and did not hide his disgust in his eyes, "Then what will you do if I suddenly disappear one day?"
"Then go with you." Murong Li blurted out.
Chen Rong's heart trembled slightly, she took her into his arms after a while, and sighed, "You really are a fool."
Murong Li leaned against her chest, listening to her heartbeat, the corners of her mouth raised, this was the first time Chen Rong took the initiative.
That's...is she already in love with her?
Prince Palace.
Murongji was sipping tea. Hearing what was going on in the palace, he couldn't help but be taken aback, "What Chen Rong wants to do is really more and more difficult to see."
Prince Concubine smiled and provoked the incense in the lotus cup, "I don't know that women can be so powerful, I heard that Chen Rong has already checked out the ninth brother in just a short time. It's clear, now he is in chaos."
Prince Concubine raised her eyes and looked at Murongji, "Is His Highness not protecting him?"
Murongji shook his head: "The third brother is still not moving, how can we show our flaws, at this time, no one's xinxing can endure it better. We have come here for so many years, Now I'm just waiting for the Queen Mother..."
Prince Concubine nodded, her heart was bitter, and this family was the only one who acted so cautiously and humble.
"Which faction does Chen Rong belong to?" She said casually.
Murong Ji took a deep breath: "None of the factions, it's a loss not to win, but it may be troublesome to win."
Prince Concubine raised her eyebrows: "She seems to have a good relationship with the princess. Maybe you can invite the princess over for the garden banquet in a few days."
Murong Li received the invitation from the Prince's Mansion, she didn't read it carefully, she just put it aside, hugged the pillow on the bed, and looked out the window bored.
Aunt Jinxiu came up with a snack and said, "Will the princess not go out for a walk?"
Then go to the National Teacher's House to find her."
Aunt Jinxiu hurriedly stopped, "Now the atmosphere in the court is tense, the national teacher is busy with important things, you, you should wait for her to come back."
Murong Li sighed, got out of bed and walked to the side of the bed, putting her hands on the window coffin, looking at the depressed scene outside, she suddenly remembered something, "Where's my fox fur?"
"It's in the warehouse." Aunt Jinxiu replied.
Murong Li smiled: "Send it to the Siyi Pavilion and make me a white fox fur cloak. It must be good-looking, and it should be made according to the body shape of the master." She thought for a while. , "Don't let the master know about it first, and it will be her birthday after more than a month. I want to give her a surprise."
Mammy Jinxiu smiled helplessly, "I see."
After Chen Rong left the palace, she stayed in Qingshanzhuang in Kyoto, staring at her a lot, but she didn't even see her.
The housekeeper of the National Teacher's House hurriedly sent a secret letter over, Chen Rong opened it in front of him, looked at it, and put it down, "These people are really calm."
The housekeeper hesitated for a moment, "Why do you need to hide from the world? If the National Teacher's Office does not have much real power, but you lied to His Majesty before...cough, the hundreds of soldiers and horses to come are still there. Woolen cloth."
Chen Rong smiled and shook her head: "I just want to be an idle person, Your Majesty values it, but I still have some ideas in my heart." She looked at the housekeeper and waved her hand: "You go down first. Well, it's okay to reject all the invitations."
The housekeeper answered yes and left.
The smile on Chen Rong's face gradually subsided, and she walked over and closed the door, "There are eyeliners all around, so tired of acting every day."
"Those who achieve great things must be patient." The system comforted her, thinking that Chen Rong had finally started her career, she was also very emotional.
Chen Rong touched his chin and thought: "I deliberately arranged for Yu Yao to run away, the key is to see if she can let Murong Yexuan come out to do things, otherwise the muddy water will not move. It's boring."
The system snorted: "You haven't been idle these days. You put smoke bombs everywhere, confusing them all, and the books are not worth reading."
Chen Rongdu stepped to the desk and tapped his finger on the desk, "It's not that the situation is too stable, we can't intervene, only by disturbing the seemingly stable water, can we have a chance to enter this place. circle."
She is just a national teacher and knows her situation well. Without the support of powerful officials, she would be a mascot at best.
"The last time Ankang attacked you was someone from the ninth prince. The ninth prince is in the line of the prince. If you calculated him, you are not afraid of being suspected?" The system asked, "I think the prince looks like the prince. Weakness is actually very deep."
"It's too obvious to be credible. Who would think I'm so clueless?"
The system also thinks about it.
Chen Rong pursed his lips, and a faint light flashed in his eyes.
There is a picture on the table, and the circle on the top is the detailed distribution of the current ministers in the court. This is the news she has spent a lot of time on recently.
It's like a game now, just how she plays it.
After a while, someone knocked on the door.
"Come in." Chen Rong said.
's Deadpool.
And she also raised a lot of people in other places, and she transferred a lot of money from the National Teacher's House, but it was all done behind the back of the people in the house.
Guo Shifu is also the power of the emperor after all.
Keep an eye on it and don't show your legs."
Shi Sang nodded: "Yes."
Murong Li finally persuaded her father, and came to the villa in a carriage, but before she even entered, she was stopped by vicious people.
"Your Excellency refuses to visit, Miss, please come back." The guard was as burly as a stone statue with a sword.
Murong Li lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage, wearing a red cloak, a little angry: "I'm a princess, you tell her that the royal father allowed me to come."
Mother Jinxiu gave Murong Li an embarrassed look, and said to the guard gently, "Sir, please let me know."
"When did Taishi become so mysterious, oh, didn't you imprison her? No wonder I haven't seen her recently!" Murong Li was suddenly stunned.
The guard was about to speak when he suddenly heard Chen Rong's voice.
"I heard magpies screaming all the time this morning, and I was still thinking about something good. It turned out that you came." Chen Rong was wearing a thin shirt and sweat on his forehead. "What are you still doing, let the princess come in."
Murong Li snorted at the guard, walked briskly into the villa, and ran to Chen Rong's side, "You are so carefree here, didn't you say you would go to the palace to find me? ?fraud."
Murong Li also thought about it, and hugged Chen Rong's arm, "I see that your place is really beautiful, so let me stay for a few days?" She clutched her chest: "I recently Chest tightness, shortness of breath, and body discomfort, the imperial doctor said that he was not in good health and needed to be recuperated outside, otherwise his life might be shortened."
Chen Rongxin thought about how old you are and how old you are? And seeing that her face is ruddy, there is no problem at all, I really dare to say it.
Chen Rong glanced at Sister Jinxiu and asked, "Is what she said true?"
Murong Li's fiery gaze was fixed on Mammy Jinxiu. Mammy Jinxiu listened to Murong Li's nonsense, and it was not easy to break it. She only looked at her nose and heart and said, "Yes."
Chen Rong nodded: "If that's the case, you can stay here, but this villa is haunted, don't run around, or you will probably have an accident."
Chen Rong nodded with satisfaction, and instructed a maid: "Take the princess to Xiyuan and arrange for her to stay." Then she looked at Murongli, "I'll go to dinner with you at night, you should be familiar with it first. Take a look at the environment."
Murong Li nodded and frowned again: "Then you won't accompany me now?"
Chen Rong smiled and softened her voice: "I have something to deal with soon."
After sending Murongli away, she frowned and took a long breath.
"The emperor is really an old fox." The system muttered, "It is said that Murongli is allowed to come and play with you, but isn't it actually a disguised arrangement of people to come in to supervise you?"
Chen Rong naturally understood, but he didn't really care: "Whatever, there is no shortage of these eyeliners anyway." He wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief: "A few days ago The bamboo rat caught by the servants is still kept, and it can be cooked tonight, and I don’t know if Murong Li likes it or not.”
System: "…"
Murong Li has not been to Qingshan Villa yet, there are bamboo forests everywhere, and it is elegant, but some places are gloomy, which really makes people chill.
"What do you adults do here every day?" Murongli asked the maid who led the way.
The maid replied: "Reading books, practicing swords, and nothing else."
Murong Li nodded thoughtfully: "I just came in and saw a lot of men here, and they are all very handsome, your national teacher..."
Mother Jinxiu coughed awkwardly, "Princess, don't talk nonsense."
Murong Li pursed her lips: "Why am I talking nonsense, I just ask."
The maid smiled: "Our national teacher is pure and clean, the princess really thinks too much."
Murong Li listened to her determined tone, and then she smiled happily, and out of the corner of the eye caught a glimpse of a pavilion with the door closed and surrounded by lake water, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, "What is that place? "
The maid looked over and her face became unnatural: "It's where the former owner lived, the princess should not ask more."
At this moment, Chen Rong entered the gloomy pavilion through the secret door, took the lamp to the second floor, and saw the ghost squatting on the ground by the window and biting the writing brush, she couldn't help asking: " Have you finished writing?"
The ghost snorted, a little impatient: "Can you be more polite when you ask for help? I have been dead for so many years, and I will always forget some things."
Chen Rong found a chair and sat down. She has not many living human resources, but a lot of ghost resources. Equivalent exchange is important to her, but it has nothing to do with ghosts. Meaningful information is still very cost-effective.
."
"Yes." Chen Rong replied: "Since you came to me, you don't have to doubt it, my reputation is quite good."
The ghost rolled her eyes, she was the only one with yin and yang eyes in the radius of 100 miles. She demanded more and had poor service attitude.
"Okay, let's go, I'll do things for you in the afternoon." Chen Rong picked up the paper on the ground and was careful, after all, she paid a lot of money for it from the system .
The system couldn't help but ask: "Why do you want the map of the Prince's Mansion?"
"Do something." Chen Rong said casually: "Isn't there a banquet in the Prince's Mansion this time?"
The system thought about it for a long time before saying, "But they didn't invite you at the banquet for their daughters."
Chen Rong: "It seems that too, I am also a woman, why not invite me?"
Chen Rong looked blank.
"Maybe everyone doesn't think of you as a woman." The system laughed, "Look at how you look like a woman?"
Chen Rong snorted: "In terms of physical and psychological characteristics, I am a woman." She stood up and patted the dust on her body: "Okay, now it's time to help others It's done."
And she also forgot about having dinner with Murong Li, took a carriage to the city, asked a violinist to accompany her in a private room in a restaurant, and then changed into men's clothes alone Going to find the ghost's wife.
Murong Li was tired waiting in the villa. She knew that the food had been delivered and Chen Rong was nowhere to be seen. She caught a maid and asked, "Where is your national teacher?"
The maid scratched her head: "It seems to be going to the city."
"Where?"
"I heard the housekeeper say what it is called, listen to Xianglou." The maid answered respectfully with the tea.
Murongli has been in this circle for a long time. When she was in Kyoto, she knew that Tingxianglou was famously a teahouse. Sing there.
She squinted her eyes and instructed the servant: "Get me a carriage."
"Princess..." Aunt Jinxiu saw that her face was not good, and quickly persuaded: "Maybe the national teacher is on business."
Murong Li laughed coldly.
The carriage soon arrived at Your Excellency Tingxiang. The shopkeeper saw that Murongli was dressed in an extraordinary and aggressive manner, and hurriedly greeted him in person, "Is this lady here for tea?"
"I'm here to find someone." Murong Li sighed and asked calmly, "Which private room is Chen Rong in?"
A hint of hesitation flashed in the shopkeeper's eyes: "This, what is the relationship between Miss and adults?"
They can't let people in casually.
"I..." Before Murong Li finished speaking, she was interrupted.
"Ali? Why did you come to this kind of place?" Shen Qinglan was supposed to settle the money, but the shopkeeper suddenly left him, and he naturally noticed this, and when he saw Murongli, he came over .
Murong Li was taken aback: "Nothing, just come and see."
Shen Qinglan hesitated for a moment: "Thank you for the last time, now Su Li's eyes are all right." She smiled again: "I said I wanted to invite you to dinner, but you have already left Ankang, We just met now, why don't we have a meal together?"
Murong Li shook her head gloomily: "Not today."
Shen Qinglan hesitated: "I heard that you are here to find Master Chen? I just saw her enter the third floor alone, and ordered the best luthier here."
Murong Li stomped her feet, ignored Shen Qinglan, and went straight up the stairs.
Shen Qinglan originally wanted to say that he had separated from Su Li, but Murongli didn't want to talk to him at all, so she didn't mention it, otherwise it would seem too deliberate.
Murong Li found the room, ignoring the guard's obstruction, and kicked the door directly.
"Miss, you can't go in!"
But I saw a woman sitting on the ground and playing the piano, and there was a figure behind the screen.
"Yo, is this here to rob people?" The woman covered her lips and smiled.
Murong Li snorted and walked to the screen, just in time to meet Chen Rong who was wearing clothes with a confused expression.
"Why are you here?" Chen Rong's hands froze, she had just put away the men's clothes, she was wearing underwear, and she didn't have time to change into women's clothes.
Murong Li took two steps back, her eyes instantly turned red: "Chen Rong, you are too much, what's so good about this woman? You are... unexpectedly!" She felt that she had suffered greatly The blow is unbelievable, "It's a waste of time for you to pretend to be innocent, you are simply a demon in color!"
Murong Li cried and turned away after speaking. Chen Rong wanted to explain, but she could only put on her clothes first, and the carriage had already driven out when she caught up.
She was clutching her aching temples, she didn't know how to explain this thing on the side of the road, and her heart throbbed, how can I explain it now?
The guards chased after him: "Sir, it's all because of your subordinates' poor handling."
Chen Rong glanced at the red slap print on his face, and waved his hand helplessly: "Forget it, you go back first."
The slap either landed on his face or on his own. No wonder others.
Murong Li came back less than a day after leaving the palace, Murong Qiankun was still a little dazed for a while, and sent someone to inquire about the cause and effect, Chen Rong's affairs were all stared at, and it was easy to know .
Murong Qiankun felt a little dumbfounded and went to visit Murong Li in person. Hearing the sound of crying, she entered the room and saw Murong Li crying very sadly, she stepped back and sat on the edge of the couch, "You're a princess anyway, what's the proper way to cry like this?"
Murong Li sobbed and did not speak.
Murong Qiankun pondered for a moment, and comforted: "After all, the national teacher is young, so... it is normal to be romantic. You are just a master-disciple relationship, so it is wishful thinking."
"Who said I was wishful thinking? I don't like her at all!" Murong Li retorted: "I don't care what beauty she is, what does it have to do with me!"
Murong Qiankun thought that if you are so open-minded, why are you crying here? He patted her on the shoulder: "I help you teach her a lesson and ask her to apologize to you."
Murong Li shook her head: "She did nothing wrong."
Murong Qiankun sighed in her heart, her daughter's thoughts are really hard to guess. However, he has been testing Chen Rong, and now he is relieved to see that Chen Rong is really out of the way. He doesn't care whether Chen Rong is romantic or absurd, it's just that he has ulterior motives.
"You are not too young now. Although I want to keep you by my side for a longer time, it seems that it is time to choose a husband for you."
