By the river.
The first thing she saw was the hundreds of tents on the ground. At this time, the sun was shining brightly and Hua Rong had no choice but to be captivated by the strange and charming scenery of the Great Prairie.
The Liang Jing River was located to the northwest of Yanjing. The north was a clear river, and the south was a prairie filled with Flos Lonicerae. At this time, the Flos Lonicerae s were in full bloom. This flower was a famous flower in the Jinguo, with several petals and seven different colored petals. The flower itself was extremely huge, covering the entire land with its petals.
At this moment, there were already many men and women on the plains. They were all wearing bright and colorful clothes, laughing and playing around in this sea of flowers.
Hua Rong sat on the horse's back and looked around. She really didn't expect that there was such a good place in the Northern Reaches, and it was completely different from the southern regions.
She breathed in the dense fragrance of the grassland, and thought of the lines of "the wind blows grass, the cattle shines". Her heart was filled with emotion. Every people has their own way of life and fun. Why do people from other countries always want to invade the playworld of the Central Plains?
By the river bank, groups of wild ducks and wild geese, as well as some unknown beautiful birds, were flashing with multicolored feathers as they chirped in the sunlight.
Just as she was immersed in her thoughts, there was a "sou" sound as Jin Wushu shot out his arrow. Immediately, a burst of cheers sounded out, a guard ran up and retrieved two wild geese. Jin Wushu said loudly: "Hua Rong, today I will let you have a taste of my Da Jin's wild game."
She didn't mind. From a distance, Zong Han and a few female nobleman s came out from the huge tent. Behind them, shockingly, were Yuwen Xuzhong and a few others.
It was just that there was no one like Zhang Xian.
She was both happy and scared when she saw Yuwen Xuzhong. Could it be that Yuwen Xuzhong had changed sides?
But, when they got closer, they saw that Yuwen Xuzhong's face was haggard, he did not look like someone who had surrendered.
Yuwen Xuzhong was surprised to see her, and he was happy as well. The two of them greeted each other briefly, but Zong Han had already interrupted them as he looked at Jin Wushu coldly: "Scoundrel, why are you late for today's meeting?"
"Is it too late?" I think it's just right. Also, wouldn't it be better to hold this meeting in second brother's tent? "
Zong Han looked at Hua Rong in the blink of an eye, glared fiercely at her, and then looked at the scar on Jin Wushu's face.
Jin Wushu looked at his, then Wu Qimai came over and said softly: "Miss, please go to Fourth Prince's tent."
He never called her "Madame Yue" but would always call her "Miss".
Jin Wushu saw that she was leaving with Wu Qimai, and then entered Zong Han's tent. Two days ago, an intense quarrel had occurred at the Alliance Conference, and Wolf Lord had already personally sent people to Yanjing from Shang Jing. Zong Wang meditated in the middle and suggested that they should go to the Liang Jing River to hunt and play. According to the meaning of Wolf Master and Jin Wushu, they would be discussing matters in Zong Wang's tent, but Zong Han knew very well that if they were to change locations, it would mean the fall of authority, and they would not give in. His tent was also the largest and most luxurious of the princes, surrounded by his five thousand elite soldiers.
Jin Wushu saw that the surrounding flags were flying, the soldiers were all dressed in black and white, it was the female elite army. He sneered, Zong Han was showing off his power.
Zong Han said coldly: "I heard you raised a female tiger at home?"
Jin Wushu said angrily: "What did you say?"
Zong Han laughed madly: "You useless thing, you were beaten up like this by a woman, and you still think that no one knows about it? You are truly disgraceful to me, the golden man, to treat this tigress like a fairy. Have you been infected by the Sow's Gu? "
As soon as he heard this "Sow", Jin Wushu became even angrier. He rushed forward and grabbed Zong Han, "So it was really you who caused trouble at my residence, and insulted me …"
"Stop trying to provoke me …"
"You're still not admitting it …"
Just then, the other princes came in, Zong Wang pulled Jin Wushu, Gu Shen pulled Zong Han, and separated the two. Gu Shen bellowed: You're rebelling?
Jin Wushu sneered: "You guys are the ones who are going to rebel."
Zong Han's expression suddenly changed greatly, and he no longer argued. He quickly said, "Brothers, don't cause a ruckus anymore."
Everyone sat down, their expressions uncertain.
Seeing Jin Wushu's sneer, Zong Han became even more furious, and shouted: "Vandage, why do you keep going against me?"
"When have I ever gone against you?"
"How dare you obstruct me from capturing the Song Kingdom captives."
Jin Wushu acted surprised: "Isn't Yuwen Xuzhong in your hands?"
Zong Wang quickly stopped them and patted their heads: "Today's shooting is a happy occasion, please do not hurt our relationship."
Zong Han was in the middle while Wolf Lord's envoy was on the left. The group of Crown Princes was divided into two groups. Everyone knew that today, Song Jin's negotiation was secondary, the main thing was that the internal power struggle had already reached its peak.
There were endless arguments within the large tent, but the scene outside was completely different.
Those who followed were mostly the family members of each female nobleman, and almost everyone had a few Song girls as concubine. On the grassland, it was bustling with many Chinese languages.
Hua Rong stood by the side of Jin Wushu's tent. Originally, she wanted to meet Yuwen Xuzhong alone, but Yuwen Xuzhong was being watched by two Golden Man s.
At this moment, Hua Rong listened to the surrounding Chinese. Not only was she not feeling friendly, she was actually very vexed.
When she looked at those Song women, many had long accepted their fate, especially the concubine, whose beauty was doted upon by the true female male. They chatted and laughed merrily, laughing merrily as they watched the beautiful scenery of the prairie, mingling with Chi Dan and the other girls. They ran to gather the Flos Lonicerae from the ground, put them on each other's head, laughed, and went to the river bank together to take pictures. Watching the flowers bring about a new exotic atmosphere, they all giggled in surprise.
Ye Lvguanyin was also in the listhehe could be considered Jin Wushu's family, but he was still in her sister's tent. Originally, when he saw Jin Wushu, she wanted to come over, but when he saw Hua Rong at the door, he stopped in his tracks.
Her sister asked her in a low voice: "Fourth Prince wants to marry that Song Nun?"
She was ambiguous and was extremely angry in her heart. "I really wonder what Fourth Prince thinks of that tigress …"
"I heard that Fourth Prince's face was injured by her?"
"If it wasn't her, who else would it be?"
"Ah?" Was it really her? How dare he be so fierce before even passing through the door? Could it be that the Fourth Prince is also 'afraid of the inside'? "
Hua Rong returned to the side of the tent and sat down. Suddenly, the tent flap opened, and a woman walked in. She was dressed in the attire of a high class Golden Man lady, wearing a red dress down to her golden skirt. Her hair was braided with a gold crown that the Golden Man lady liked, although her demeanor was different, she was beautiful.
Hua Rong was surprised, she immediately recognized that it was Princess Maude. Amongst all the female servants, Mao De's appearance was indeed worthy of being first, and was even much better than the reputed number one beauty, Ye Lvguanyin.
The two of them looked at each other. Princess Maude opened her mouth first: "The scenery outside is great, why not Madame Yue go out and enjoy it?"
"Greetings, Princess. I've skimmed through it. In the end, the scenery of the grassland is completely different from the Southern Empire. "
The two of them sat down and the Princess Maude said in a low voice, "Ever since Salix met Madame Yue, I, Father, have always longed to meet Madame again. It's a pity that I have never had the chance."
Hua Rong let out a long sigh, "The envoys from the Jinguo have no personal freedom at all. Princess, how are you doing? "
Maude nodded sadly, "I was fortunate enough to get the mercy of the Second Crown Prince and have never suffered. But, my Father s, alas, they are crude food. As for Ninth Sister-in-Law and Madame Wei, both of them are suffering in laundry … "
Hua Rong said indifferently: "Empress Xing has already committed suicide."
"Where's Lady Wei?"
Hua Rong knew that she could not keep this a secret from the Song Capture, so she did not hide it either.
Maude was startled, she was silent for a long time, but she was not surprised, and only said: "Wife Wei, how can she be like this?! The elder brother of the nine, alas, she is the mother of The elder brother of the nine! "
Hua Rong was silent, how could the Empress Dowager Wei decide that?
"Poor Sis. Madame Yue, what are you planning to do by coming here? "
She was anxious to know whether the The elder brother of the nine was good enough and whether her father and brother were able to return south. The reason why she bowed down to Zong Wang was in exchange for her father and brother's return south. Hua Rong was unable to say that the only thing that Zhao Deji wanted to save was the Empress Dowager Wei, so she replied, "I hope for your return everyday."
Even if it was a lie, Mao De still received a bit of comfort. His eyes lit up, "To be honest, this servant has been attending to Second Crown Prince these past few days and begging him everyday. He has finally agreed to let my father and brother go when the Wolf Lord's order arrives …"
Seeing Zong Han's stance, Hua Rong's heart thumped, he didn't dare be as optimistic as Mao De.
"In the past few days, Grand Prince and the others have had an intense argument, and this servant is afraid that they will change their mind again. Madame Yue, can you plead with Fourth Prince for him to say more good things on his behalf … "
Jin Wushu searched the mountains and seas to capture Zhao Deji. He was a fanatical main fighting sect, wanting to plead with him was simply asking for a favor.
"I heard Second Crown Prince say that he doted on you very much, and was even willing to marry you as his principal wife. If you begged him, he would definitely agree …"
"Hehe, Princess, you are wrong, since you call me 'Madame Yue' then you should know, why would I marry Jin Wushu?"
Maude let out a low sigh, "How could I not know! This slave was also the wife of Cai Zhonglang (son of Cai Jing) back then, but she had no choice but to give herself up to the Second Crown Prince. The nation was ruined, and their families were wiped out. What could a mere woman do? "We can only give up our relationship as husband and wife and devote ourselves to serving the enemy. The reason isn't for this broken body, but to keep father and brother safe for the time being …"
When Song Huizong and the rest first arrived at the Jinguo, they did not even provide food or clothes. They only gave each of them five buckets, some cotton linen, and made them self-sufficient. After that, with Zong Wang's permission, Maude secretly took the treasures to help her father and brother many times. In this year, the Song Kingdom had already arrived at three to four batches of envoys, but none of them had returned. Seeing that Yuwen Xuzhong and the others were detained, she concluded that Hua Rong had no chance to escape, and could only rely on Jin Wushu.
Hua Rong couldn't blame her for her thoughts, and her heart was at a loss as well. Everyone knew that Jin Wushu was now a wolf in sheep's territory, how long could he protect him?
She said in a low voice, "This servant has heard about the grudge between you and Fourth Prince before. Fourth Prince truly likes you, far more than a captive like Servant. This slave has also heard that Ye Lvguanyin is his second wife. Second Crown Prince guessed that he is keeping the position of principal wife for you, and the way Fourth Prince treats you, is far from something Second Crown Prince can compare to. If you beg him, he will definitely agree … "
Everyone thought that the "Madame Yue" was going to become "Lady Jin"?
Hua Rong shook her head indifferently. Whether or not the "Second Sage" could return to the south was not something that a few pampered concubine nobles could achieve just by begging them. And in the Princess Maude, there was always something that they wanted to grab onto, even if it was just straw.
She only said, "Since Hua Rong has come here with an edict, she will do her best. Princess, don't worry.
