Chapter 556： Concubine Yang and Mrs. Xu in a hurry

Chapter 556 Concubine Yang and Mrs. Xu in a hurry

That feeling is mysterious and mysterious, but Sima Ke can perceive its existence very clearly.

This guy who claimed to be Ouyang Zhi of Shuzhou really made him feel very friendly, as if there should be some connection between them.

I can’t explain clearly, and I don’t understand.

But this does not prevent Sima Ke from getting close to him.

In the same way, so is Ouyang Zhi.

He himself was at a loss just now, he didn't understand how the prince was so kind to him, did he know the relationship between himself and his father?

But not even thinking about it.

He is well aware of Chen Yuan's character, he doesn't like publicity, and it is even more impossible for him to disclose such a relationship to others.

Even, even his own half son was unwilling to admit it, so he posted it himself.

He thought about it, but he just attributed these to the word 'Fate'.

Sima Ke is very enthusiastic, as if he regards the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion as his home. He is very enthusiastic about Ouyang Zhi, and begins to ask about the relationship between Ouyang Zhi and Chen Yuan.

Ouyang Zhi picked up what he could say and started to tell, saying that they met in Cangbing Valley.

Sima Ke kept nodding his head, secretly admiring Chen Yuan's methods, he was able to keep so close to people who had never met a few times, and he needed to learn a lot from him.

After Ouyang Zhi finished speaking, he didn't stay silent either. Seeing that the prince had no airs, he began to ask about his relationship with Chen Yuan.

Sima Ke laughed, and said without hesitation that they had had some enemies before, but neither of them took it to heart, and gradually turned enemies into friends.

As for how to transform the enemy, he naturally cannot elaborate.

After that, Sima Ke also revealed that his own sister from the same source is the current eldest princess, and she is also one of the protagonists in the capital who may marry Chen Yuan.

Ouyang Zhi was startled immediately, and secretly speculated endlessly.

After saying this, Sima Ke was still not satisfied, and began to talk about a series of major events that Chen Yuan had done in the capital with great interest. Except for the matter of concealing and abolishing the emperor's relatives, he said everything else.

Ouyang Zhi couldn't help admiring Chen Yuan even more.

Secretly thought, what my mother said was indeed true, Chen Yuan has a very bright future, he wants to revive the Ouyang family and the Cangbing Valley, and Chen Yuan's help is indispensable.

No wonder his mother fell in love with him. Who would not be confused when seeing such a strange man in the world?

On the other side, Chen Yuan, who had been sitting in the Zhang Mansion for a while, got up to say goodbye, and the second sister Zhang sent him out of the gate in person, revealing a stronger sense of intimacy than before.

Chen Yuan even thought that if he took the initiative, he might be able to take this woman down.

Became Zhang Xuan's brother-in-law.

But, that's not how it works.

Zhang Xuan is his good friend, and Zhang Yantong has repeatedly supported him and expressed his kindness. He really doesn't want to delay Second Sister Zhang, especially at this juncture.

It's a misfortune rather than a blessing for Zhang's family to be unfaithful to the royal daughter, but to fall in love with Zhang's daughter.

Looking at his daughter's posture, Zhang Yantong frowned, intending to stop her, but he didn't know where to start, so he just sighed softly, ready to reveal Chen Yuan's meaning to the emperor.

I just hope that the emperor has a broad mind and doesn't suppress Chen Yuan because of such trivial matters.

Chen Yuan, who returned to Wu'an Hou Mansion, soon learned from the housekeeper that the fourth prince Sima Ke and a man in white with the surname Ouyang came to visit.

Si Make intends to ascend to the position of prince, so he came to visit him at this time to ask for help. It can be said that this guy with the double surname Ouyang is a bit interesting.

Among the people he knew, there were only a few people with the double surname Ouyang, which was not a common surname, and he almost didn't need to say anything more from the housekeeper before he guessed who it was.

Cheap son, Ouyang Zhi!

It's just that this time he met Sima Ke by such a coincidence, which really made him feel a little weird. After all, the relationship between himself and them is really weird.

Nominally, they have all been to their hometown.

As for why it is in name, it is naturally that Ouyang Zhi was not born to Mrs. Xu, but only raised the eldest sister's heir on her behalf.

When Chen Yuan arrived in the lobby, Sima Ke and Ouyang Zhi were talking vigorously, but they didn't realize it until he approached, and quickly stood up, cupped their hands and laughed:

"Brother Chen."

Ouyang Zhi looked at this cheap father who hadn't seen him for a long time, but his own power was different from that of the past. He also straightened his face, bowed and said:

"Brother Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time."

With Sima Ke here, his title of 'father' is naturally to be covered up.

Chen Yuan nodded, and slowly sat on the head:

"I haven't seen it for a long time."

"Brother Chen, when you came to the future, I have already had a lot of conversations with Brother Ouyang. It is strange to say that although this is the first time I have met Brother Ouyang, there is a feeling of closeness in my heart."

"Yes, yes, I also find it strange, Brother Chen, do you know why?" Ouyang Zhi looked at Chen Yuan curiously and asked.

Hope to hear an answer.

Chen Yuan looked at the curious eyes of the two of them, and laughed in his heart.

Can you not get close?

They are half brothers.

There is no connection with Japan, and it is all connected by 'Tao'.

"Chen doesn't know about this, maybe you two hit it off." Chen Yuan smiled calmly.

"Brother Chen is right."

"Did you come here this time, did Madam entrust you with something?" Chen Yuan then turned his gaze to Ouyang Zhi and asked.

"That's true. My mother is pregnant with Brother Chen, but she has a heavy responsibility and it is not appropriate to leave Tangshan. It just so happens that I also have some yearning for the capital, so I took this errand to come here. Don't blame Brother Chen."

"Is Tangshan all right?"

Ouyang Zhi glanced at Sima Ke calmly, then shook his head slowly:

"Nothing is going on, everything is safe, but the adults and mother miss Brother Chen very much."

"Well, there will be opportunities in the future."

Chen Yuan nodded.

As long as there is nothing to do, Tangshan's foundation is actually not that important to him now, but after all, it is the place where his dragon rises, and he still has some feelings.

"Mrs. Mother"

Listening to the short conversation between Ouyang Zhi and Chen Yuan, Sima Ke was at a loss, but after thinking for a long time, a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes, and he understood who Ouyang Zhi was.

He once investigated some of Chen Yuan's past, and knew that he had a foundation in Tangshan, and at the same time raised a woman, Mrs. Xu, who was once the most beautiful woman in Shuzhou.

And Ouyang Zhi is the son of Mrs. Xu.

No wonder he was so close before.

It turned out that they were people of the same path.

Thinking of this, when Sima Ke looked at Ouyang Zhi again, he felt unnatural and uncomfortable, but surprisingly, he couldn't hate him.

He could only sigh secretly, guessing in his heart that in the whole world, he was the only person with the same fate as him.

I just don't know whether Chen Yuan and Mrs. Xu's good deeds were facilitated by this person. If so, then they thought of going together.

Thinking about it, Sima Ke couldn't help feeling a sense of crisis.

It is said that Mrs. Xu is as beautiful as a flower, and she is in her prime, but her mother and concubine are obviously older. If it is a competition for favor, it seems to be a little worse.

The one who can make a move is nothing more than the status of the imperial concubine.

Perhaps, only when the imperial sister marries into the Chen family and becomes the official wife, can he leap forward and become Chen Yuan's most supportive...um...friend.

"Your Highness is here to establish a crown prince, right?"

After talking with Ouyang Zhi, Chen Yuan immediately looked at Sima Ke.

"Brother Chen is very predictable. That's right. Ke came here just for this. My father wants me to practice in the headquarters of the Sky Survey Division for a period of time, and I still need Brother Chen's help. Mmm. Thank you Brother Chen for your help."

As he spoke, he also glanced at Ouyang Zhi, his eyes made Ouyang Zhi a little weird.

Why is it a bit of a fight for favor?

Shouldn’t

Could it be

Ouyang Zhi's thoughts scattered, and thinking about his father Chen Yuan's sexual habits, he faintly had a bold guess, and suddenly took a deep breath.

No way? !

Won't! Won't!

Ouyang Zhi immediately strangled this idea to death, he must have thought too much.

No, even if what you think is true, you can’t think about it anymore.

When he saw that the relationship between Ouyang Zhi and Chen Yuan was similar to his, he didn't hide it completely, anyway, he couldn't guess the twists and turns inside.

As everyone knows, even Chen Yuan, who likes Ouyang Zhi differently than ordinary people, already has faint doubts.

"What's wrong with you?"

Seeing that something was wrong with Ouyang Zhi, Chen Yuan frowned.

"Nothing, nothing, just thought of something."

Ouyang Zhi quickly waved his hands.

Chen Yuan stared at him, then answered Sima Ke's words:

"Well, Mr. Chen will help you with this matter, and send my regards to the imperial concubine for me."

The other party's thanks, he has already experienced it.

Verbal thanks are more than just verbal thanks.

"Thank you, Brother Chen."

Si Ma Ke smiled at the corner of his mouth, and he really found Chen Yuan's weakness.

The two explained their intentions, and Chen Yuan chatted while serving tea.

Sima Ke calmly mentioned to Chen Yuan what happened at the family banquet that day, and looked at Chen Yuan's thoughts. After all, when he heard about it before, he didn't react much, and even resisted.

But this time it was the emperor's intention. Could it be that Chen Yuan still wants to resist the order?

But to his surprise, Chen Yuan's performance was still not salty, neither ecstatic nor frowning to express boredom, which made him curious.

I can't figure out Chen Yuan's context at all.

In fact, Chen Yuan was not willing to talk to him about this matter, Zhang Yantong himself had already refused, and the emperor must know that it would be useless to talk to Sima Ke any more.

Normally, if Concubine Yang Guifei and Princess Pingyang were able to serve him together, he would naturally not refuse. He just felt that it was a blessing that he deserved due to his good deeds all his life.

But after knowing what Jingtai thinks of him, his mother and daughter Tufei's thoughts have faded a lot, and he will not risk his future.

If Jingtai was really going to suppress him all the time, then he would find a way to transfer out of the capital immediately.

is suppressed here, no fun.

After chatting for a while, Sima Ke offered to leave, while Ouyang Zhi stayed in the mansion to rest.

After Sima Ke, an outsider, left, Ouyang Zhi no longer concealed it, and reported to Chen Yuan the current situation of Tangshan and the recent events in the south of Shuzhou.

At the same time, Chen Yuan was also given a letter written by Mrs. Xu himself.

Chen Yuan just smiled after reading it.

The development of Tangshan is proceeding steadily. More and more Jianghu warriors are being recruited, and the quality is getting higher and higher. The first batch of alien war horses from Liangzhou has also arrived in Tangshan.

Chen Yuan's influence is expanding.

At the end of the letter, Mrs. Xu also expressed her love for Chen Yuan.

In general, it is almost the same as the previous imperial concubine.

That night.

Imperial City, Imperial Study Room.

Jingtai sat on the dragon chair with gloomy eyes, frowning tightly. Just now, Zhang Yantong came to see him, expressing Chen Yuan's resistance cryptically.

I don't want to marry Princess Pingyang, and I hope to get all the status and power by myself.

"Hmph, I don't know what to do!"

Jingtai's eyes showed a fierce look, staring at the chopping board under him, wanting to smash it directly.

Chen Yuan was the first person who dared to disobey his holy will. If it wasn't for this person's rare talent and the talent of a true king, if another person came, he would have been furious and started planning how to deal with this person.

But Chen Yuan is different from ordinary people after all, his martial arts talent really makes him a little appreciative, and he feels that he has the qualifications to become a sword in the hands of the Sima royal family.

And the reputation is high.

Maybe his current strength is not considered top in the world, but his reputation is not lost, especially in the north, if he is suppressed for no reason, he will inevitably be criticized and the majesty of the court will further decline.

While thinking about how to get Chen Yuan to agree to the marriage, Cao Zhengxian was also summoned, and when he saw Jingtai, he immediately bowed and said:

"The old minister has seen His Majesty."

"Um."

"I don't know why Your Majesty called the old minister here?" Cao Zhengxian was a little suspicious.

"About Chen Yuan."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the old minister has already asked people to prepare. In the morning tomorrow, someone in the palace will announce the decree and promote Chen Yuan to be the envoy of Tianzi."

This is something that Jingtai entrusted to him before. Although it is a little uncomfortable for Chen Yuan, the high-ranking Xuntiansi Tianzi God Envoy, he can only do things honestly.

Governor Xiao Jing, three envoys of Di, Xuan, and Huang joined forces to ask the emperor to designate Chen Yuan as the envoy of Tianzi, and stated that he was the most suitable candidate.

With such great power, even the emperor had to think carefully and give this seat to Chen Yuan.

"There is no rush for this matter."

Jingtai said with deep eyes.

"Huh? Your Majesty" Cao Zhengxian was stunned for a moment. It was clearly the emperor's oral order just now, and he was going to make Chen Yuan the envoy of Tianzi. Why are you in no hurry now?

"Zhang Yantong just came here, Chen Yuan doesn't want to marry Pingyang."

Jingtai said in a deep voice.

He really wanted to make Chen Yuan a divine envoy, and he could train him better, but Zhang Yantong told him that Chen Yuan had no intention of marrying a wife.

Suddenly, his heart sank.

Prepare to suppress this person's rebellious character first.

When will I ask the emperor to marry me, when will I give him this seat again!

"What. This." Cao Zhengxian pondered for a long time after hearing the words.

"Do you think Chen Yuan is really like this, or do you not want to get too involved with the royal family?" Jingtai looked at him calmly and asked.

Looking at the emperor's eyes, Cao Zhengxian wanted to add some material to Chen Yuan, but after careful consideration, he still didn't take action, but said:

"The old minister thought that maybe the matter of Yang Hu's inheritance had a thorn in Chen Yuan's heart. After all, Princess Pingyang was born of a noble concubine, and they used to have some disagreements."

Jingtai frowned, thinking of this too.

"Hasn't he already resolved the grievances with Ke'er?"

As far as he knows, Chen Yuan is now basically showing that his frame supports Sima Ke's superior position, so there shouldn't be any grudges.

"The grievances of His Royal Highness have been resolved, but the grievances with the imperial concubine have not yet been resolved. I heard that the imperial concubine refused to allow His Royal Highness to enter the palace and reprimanded him. Perhaps it is because of this."

Jingtai's eyes flickered:

"what do you mean?"

"To untie the bell, one needs to tie the bell. Chen Yuan became famous at a young age. He is proud and arrogant. His personality has always been extremely ruthless. It may be difficult for him to bow his head first. Why don't you ask your mother to go to the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion to encourage him on behalf of his majesty?" , it might work wonders.”

Cao Zhengxian said cautiously.

"Well, let's do it first, what if Chen Yuan still doesn't know what to do?"

"Then His Majesty will make a decree at the court meeting. As long as Chen Yuan is motivated and has greater power, he will not dare to reject His Majesty's decree."

Seeing the picture poorly, Cao Zhengxian did not believe that Chen Yuan dared to refuse.

If he really doesn't know how to live or die, then he will be relegated to a state capital outside the capital and suppressed for a few more years to sharpen his temper and let him know that in the court, the emperor is the genius.

An arrogant person like him is not allowed to exist!

Jingtai squinted his eyes, looked at the dark sky outside, and said to the outside:

"Come here, call Concubine Yang."

"The envoy of Tianzi pressed it first, don't be in a hurry, let this kid feel a little bit measured, hum."

Jingtai snorted coldly, a little displeased with Chen Yuan's unruliness.

At this time, follow him first, wait until you make an oath and integrate with the royal family, and you have your own way to deal with him.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Cao Zhengxian immediately offered a flattery.

Not long after, Concubine Yang came hurriedly with a few maidservants, looked up at the emperor, bowed and said:

"The concubine has seen His Majesty."

Jingtai looked at Yang Huanyu and said in a deep voice:

"Aifei."

He told her about Chen Yuan's reluctance to get married, and revealed that it was her reason that made Chen Yuan feel bad, which ruined his plan to win Chen Yuan over.

"Your Majesty forgive me."

Concubine Yang Guifei was really a little scared at first, thinking that the emperor knew about her and Chen Yuan becoming Taoist friends, and felt uneasy in her heart, but now she has the bottom line.

"I can't blame you for this matter, but I don't want Chen Yuan to reject this marriage because of you. I have other plans, understand?"

"Chenqie. Chenqie"

"Later, you bring some things and go to Wu'anhou's mansion to comfort Wu'anhou for me, try to resolve this grievance, um. Chen Yuan is capable, and it will also be helpful to Ke'er."

Jingtai said lightly.

"The concubine understands."

Although there was a crying face on her face, she was very happy in her heart.

I was thinking about how to get out of the palace, but I didn't expect the emperor to give me a chance directly.

Her vitality has recovered, and it is time to be in a hurry.

"Don't come back in a hurry, it's best to persuade this person to resolve the grievances."

"Yes, the concubine must do her best."

Thank you for your support! !
