Step on a branch

After the continuous spring rain, early summer comes quietly.

Huang Yi ordered a grilled fish from Guixiang Building and delivered it to the pharmacy upstairs.

When Feng Jing came in, he was almost unable to stand still because of the strange smell mixed together.

"You have to eat grilled fish here?" Feng Jing asked him.

Huang Yi poured the wine and clicked his tongue: "What's wrong here? I used to eat here with the emperor."

The emperor moved out, Feng Jing naturally couldn't say any more disgusting words, so he sat down obediently.

"He can't enjoy it now." Huang Yi pushed a glass of wine to Feng Jing, "It's cheap for you kid."

Hearing this, Feng Jing was delighted.

Of course, there are countless delicacies from mountains and seas in the imperial dining room in the palace.

But when it comes to the fun of eating and drinking, restaurants are as lively as restaurants, and picnics are as lively as picnics, they are all different.

"The emperor has the empress and empress dowager to eat together," Feng Jing said, "everything is good for eating."

"That's true," Huang Yi nodded, "but having said that, he would definitely prefer to dig bamboo shoots with the empress and empress dowager by himself."

The topic turned to "bamboo shoots".

Huang Yi came prepared, but Feng Jing didn't realize it.

This is the task Zhao Fan entrusted to Huang Yi - to find out Feng Jing's background.

A few days ago, the princess entered the palace and mentioned Feng Jing to the queen.

If it is said that the princess fell in love with Feng Jing at a glance, that's really not the case. The reason is that the second girl Qin ordered the mandarin duck book.

The princess didn't have any suitable candidates, and seeing that the eldest princess, the township lord, and the old lady were quite worried, they decided to give it a try.

Whether it fits well, whether you can get along well, whether you can get together, you have to try to know.

The emperor knows Feng Jing very well.

Young, hard-working, bold and careful in doing things.

Just looking at people, it's pretty good.

But it's not just getting married, it's getting married.

Huang Yi took a sip of his wine and sighed: "A few years ago, everyone was pretty much the same, but now, it's not as good as it is."

Feng Jing said "Huh?"

Compared with the emperor?

Thinking too much?
Huang Yi knew that he was thinking about it, so he pointed at the table and said, "Daughter-in-law! He is now married to a wife he likes and is waiting to be a father, but you and I are still alone. Sigh, don't tell me You already have a date, I won't be able to eat!"

Feng Jing hurriedly waved his hands: "No! Where can I find a good friend."

Huang Yile said: "That is, which girl did you fall in love with, and she ignored you?"

Feng Jing continued to wave his hands: "You envy the emperor, so don't you use it to tease me?"

Huang Yi laughed.

I don't have a good relationship, and I don't like anyone, so I can continue to talk about this matter.

If not, he doesn't want to beat mandarin ducks with sticks, and Zhao Fan doesn't like it either.

"Speaking of which, I think of a few years ago," Feng Jing recalled, "When Yan Shu was arrested, I asked the emperor 'Is there any lover'?"

Huang Yi couldn't help laughing: "You are so courageous!"

Feng Jing also felt that he was very brave at that time. Although he was scared and ran away before he got the answer, he really asked.

The two chattered back and forth.

After eating half of the fish, Huang Yi said again: "I see that the emperor has a lot of troubles recently."

"Up and down, no one talked about the concubine's affairs, what's bothering the emperor?" Feng Jing was amazed.

Probably because I was really frightened by the emperor's road to open source and Sangong's red face before, there are only two rooms in the harem of the imperial city on the left and right of the Qianbu corridor.

One housed the empress dowager, and the other housed the emperor and empress.

In short, there is no room for an extra couch.

There were also a few old ministers with heavy pockets who beat around the bush with the red-clothed guards, wondering if they would be settled by Qiuhou, which made Feng Jing dumbfounded.

"I'm afraid we won't trouble them!" Feng Jing said.

"Hanging the knife is more terrifying than cutting it down with a knife." Huang Yi knew who Feng Jing was referring to. "The imperial court employs people in fear, and they can still play it. The emperor is annoying the princess, the princess It's not too young, but it's hard to recruit a son-in-law."

"Marriage is a major event, isn't it all linked by thousands of miles of marriage?" Feng Jing said, "It's useless for the emperor to trouble you if the fate doesn't come."

Full of wine and food.

Taking advantage of the smell of alcohol, Huang Yi jokingly teased Feng Jing: "Would you like to ask Ying to be the Princess Yibin?"

Feng Jing was delighted, and said: "There's less excitement, why don't you just set up the stage yourself and invite people to go up and sing?"

Hee hee haha, the seats were dispersed.

Feng Jing left the pharmacy, the fresh night breeze blew, and most of the smell of alcohol dissipated.

When I got home and lay down on the bed, the night dream came.

For a while it is the cliff of Yushakou, for a while it is the bright moon of Xizhou City, for a while it is the young girl standing on the city wall...

The moonlight was hazy, he couldn't see clearly, he just felt strange.

The city wall is guarded by guards at night, how can a girl come up?

He hurriedly walked towards the girl, but no matter how he walked, there was still a long way to go.

The more I walked, the more anxious I was, I stood up and woke up.

Panting, Feng Jing scratched his head.

It's a dream...

However, he seemed to see clearly.

That's the princess.

All right, why did he dream of the princess who he only met once?

Lying back down again, Feng Jing muttered in his heart: It's all because Mr. Huang is talking nonsense!What Princess Yibin...

He closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep again. After taking a few breaths, Feng Jing opened his eyes again.

Could it be?

He can't sleep!
After waiting until dawn, Feng Jing went to wait for Huang Yi outside Huang Taishi's mansion.

Huang Yi woke up refreshed. Seeing Feng Jing's sleep-deprived face, he burst out laughing, "Did you become a thief last night?"

Feng Jing looked around, pulled Huang Yi aside, and asked, "Is there something in the grilled fish meal yesterday? Is that what the emperor meant?"

"You're quite clever." Huang Yi patted Feng Jing's shoulder.

Feng Jing is not smiling, nor is he not smiling.

He knew that the emperor had worked hard.

Since he first entered the officialdom and worked as an errand in Chiyiwei, he has followed the emperor all these years and knows each other very well.

What the emperor is worried about is that if he speaks in person, even if Feng Jing doesn't have that idea, due to various reasons, he will agree.

In the future, it is impossible for him to treat the princess badly, but this "goodness" may be different from the harmony of the zither and the emperor's hope.

It is precisely because the emperor and the empress have the same mind, the emperor hopes that the princess can also have a husband who truly agrees with each other, instead of being tied together because of imperial power, status, etc.

"What if I haven't figured it out?" Feng Jing asked.

He dialed the call yesterday, but if he was more serious, he wouldn't be able to hear it at all.

Huang Yi said: "The princess is looking for a son-in-law, and it's not about buying a pancake at the intersection. What's the rush? If you really didn't hear it, I'll order it twice later. If you still don't understand, it means you don't have this marriage, so don't mention it again."

The truth is indeed such a truth.

Feng Jing said: "The emperor takes a fancy to me because he agrees with me, so I have to think about it more seriously, it's just..."

It's just a few words, how do you understand it?
Huang Yi thought for a while, and said sadly: "Brother, I'm at a disadvantage. I asked my sisters to invite the Princess to come and play. You also happened to come to find me and say hello to each other."

Feng Jing didn't understand for a moment: "What's wrong with you?"

"If you invite the princess, you must also invite Miss Qin Er." Huang Yi shook his head with his tongue, "Sisters, the money exported by the leaf cards must be paid for by me?"

Feng Jing: ...

Hear what it says!

The leaf plaques are placed in the imperial garden to keep civil and military officials quiet.

The second girl and the girls of the Huang family "have no grievances or enmity", what kind of leaf card are they playing?
"Second girl doesn't like my salary to marry a daughter-in-law," Feng Jing said, "Mr. Huang is different. His family background is rich, and his younger sister is not an opponent. Be careful of losing everything. In my opinion, it is better to let them Play something else."

Huang Yile: "I can't throw the pot, and I will lose the leaf card. You said you want to play chess and poetry, and the second girl might not come. What else can I play?"

Feng Jing couldn't answer.

He knows very little about girls' fun.

Huang Yi weighed the purse at his waist: "I'll ask the second girl to show mercy."

When Feng Jing heard this, he said casually: "Your sisters are not opponents, aren't you? How much you lose, can you win back?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, seeing Huang Yi staring at him inexplicably, Feng Jing touched the tip of his nose: "Did I say something wrong?"

Huang Yi patted him on the back.

The game in the girls' boudoir, the money that was exported, and he still wants to win it back?
Not to mention whether he can win or not, his little Mr. Huang can't afford to lose face like this!

It was a fluke to win. With Qin Yuan's temperament, she would never give up easily...

From now on, Qin Yuan will come to the door from time to time to play the leaf card, to let the old master know the inside story, so that he can come to the Grand Master's mansion to tear down the door panel!

Nine times out of ten, I have to go to the imperial study and talk to my brother-in-law about the process of paying back my capital.

What a shame!
Huang Yi said: "It's better to admit defeat earlier and let the second girl show mercy."

After all, it was for the princess's marriage, Qin Yuan was righteous and would definitely cooperate.
