This Jinyiwei is obviously super strong but draws too much

Chapter 1147 Jiangnan Huangfu

There have been no major events in the capital recently, but there have been a lot of small things happening. The Meng family is at the center of various small storms, either making people worry about them or making people laugh at them. In short, they are very busy.

Therefore, although the Meng family received Princess Hualuan's visit with great care, they did not keep a close eye on her.

After all, the little princess has a close relationship with the Meng family. It doesn't make sense to leave the bastard outside alone and instead keep an eye on their own people like they're guarding against thieves.

So when the little princess actually became a "thief", the Meng family was not mentally prepared at all.

Without much effort, Princess Hua Luan easily obtained the imperial edicts issued by emperors to the Meng family over the years.

Qi Yunzhou had used his connections to find her, and the little princess knew the truth clearly. She was afraid that this matter could not be made public, so she just acted as a hidden trick and did not intend to let the Meng family know about it openly.

Of course, the little princess doesn’t know martial arts, so this kind of physical work has to be left to her subordinates.

"Your Highness, they are all here." The number of maids around the little princess is about the same as her mother's in the past, with only two core members, but the configuration is slightly different.

The maids around Yongle back then were more inclined to manage household affairs for him. After all, the prince consort was already the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and he had countless experts at home.

Therefore, Amber and Vanilla around Yongle were not good at martial arts. Their strengths lay in management. However, they did not expect that the princess and her husband were all hands-off managers. Therefore, their duties changed from checking for deficiencies and filling in the gaps to personally taking part in the battle.

But Hua Luan was different. The little princess lived in the palace every day. She had no industry to look after and no staff to manage.

Therefore, most of the attendants around the little princess were prepared to facilitate her travel and mischief. In a word, all of them were good at fighting. Although they could not be said to be able to defeat a thousand people alone, they were enough for her to walk sideways.

Therefore, the Meng family's current defenses can't do anything to the little princess. The imperial edict can be taken and read at any time, and the servants' entering and leaving the Meng family's ancestral hall is no different from strolling in their own backyard.

"so many."

Looking at the pile of imperial edicts in front of her, the little princess frowned and was too lazy to look at them. She was most impatient with these documents, but thinking of Qi Yunzhou's mysterious look, she couldn't help but start to search through them out of curiosity.

Meng Yuan was a close and important minister to two generations of emperors, so the number of imperial edicts preserved by the Meng family was extraordinary. It took the little princess half an hour to pick and choose before she found the target assigned by her teacher.

".Commander Meng Yuan was ordered to set off for Jiangnan on the eighth day of the twelfth month to escort the beauty presented by the Huangfu family to the capital."

Based on the clues provided by Qi Yunzhou, the little princess only found this seemingly plausible imperial edict, but she was not clear about the cause and effect of the matter, so she looked around.

"What do you think the teacher wants me to do by looking for this?" asked the little princess.

The composition of the attendants around the little princess is complex. Today she brought a total of three attendants. In addition to their extraordinary martial arts skills, the three of them also have their own unique backgrounds.

One of them is Caiyun. She was born in a poor family and grew up in the palace since she was sensible. Later, she was noticed by Aunt Axiu, who took her around and taught her some martial arts. She first followed the imperial concubine, then served Empress Yongle, and now she was arranged to be with the little princess.

The other one was from a military family. His surname was Liang and his given name was Yu. His father and brother were both in the Jinyiwei. Therefore, he practiced martial arts since he was a child and became the princess's companion through his family connections.

The last one is the daughter of a noble family, named Qin Xiangxiang. Her family has been a family of scholars for generations, but for some reason, they raised a daughter who disliked music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and only liked swords, guns and sticks. The elders in the family repeatedly taught her but she did not change. Later, the little princess learned about this and found it interesting. She went to meet this person privately. The princess wanted a helper with martial arts, and the daughter of the Qin family wanted to be free from the constraints of her family. The two hit it off immediately. Hua Luan asked the queen for an imperial decree to recruit Qin Xiangxiang into the palace as her own tutor.

Although these three people came from different places, they had similarities, and these girls were all very knowledgeable.

Caiyun has been exposed to the palace since she was young and has heard a lot of gossip. She also has her own network of relationships. Most of the elders in Liang Yu's family are Jinyiwei, so she can hear interesting things between officials without making any noise. She has the "handle" of many people in her hand.

Although Qin Xiangxiang did not have the qualities of the other two, she came from a Confucian family and was forced to read many books since childhood. Therefore, although she hated studying, she was too talented. With her photographic memory, she was almost a walking library.

The imperial edict that the little princess was checking today was about what happened when the late crown prince went to the south of the Yangtze River several decades ago.

The three girls looked at each other, and Qin Xiangxiang frowned first and said, "There is an elder in my family who likes to record the major events that happened in the world every year. I have read that book, and the content starts from the time when the previous emperor ascended the throne. I have never heard of the Huangfu family offering beauties, and it seems that there is no such family in the capital."

The late emperor's harem was full of people from aristocratic families, and everyone's origins were clear and known. Also, because the late emperor was fond of spiritual cultivation and did not like women, very few people presented beauties to him. The only one or two times that happened were both recorded in the book by the elder of the Qin family, but the Huangfu family was not among them.

Liang Yu thought for a moment and said, "I have some impression of the name Huangfu. It should be a powerful family in the martial arts world, and it seems to be a martial arts family in Jiangnan. However, this family should have declined a long time ago. I haven't heard of any powerful martial arts forces in Jiangnan nowadays."

One of these two women is a descendant of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the other is from an aristocratic family. One is a civil servant and the other is a military officer, and both are quite unfamiliar with the so-called "Huangfu Family".

"That's it."

The little princess frowned. She only knew that Meihua Academy was also located in Jiangnan before. Could it be that the teacher wanted to find an old friend? However, the news had been traced to the Meng family. It seemed that the old friend must have committed a crime.

The little princess couldn't figure it out for a while, and Caiyun beside her suddenly whispered: "Your Highness, I have some impression of the surname 'Huangfu'."

"Really?" The little princess looked at Caiyun in surprise.

Caiyun seemed a little hesitant. She was sixteen years old and the oldest among the four. She had witnessed the current emperor's rise from a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard to the emperor.

So even though the elderly people in Beijing today are tight-lipped about what happened back then, those who once followed Aunt A-xiu and served in the Imperial Concubine's palace remember those things clearly.

As for places outside the capital, whether it is the south or the north, Caiyun is not very clear about the things happening in the rivers and lakes, but she knows that inside the imperial palace in the capital, there is a big man named "Huangfu".

Caiyun said softly, "If I remember correctly, the previous emperor had a crown princess, who was the mother of the current emperor. Her surname was Huangfu, and I heard she was from Jiangnan."

The little princess was surprised and asked, "Yes, the one in the cold palace?"

"Yes."

Caiyun nodded, and then advised: "Your Highness, please forgive me for being bold. This matter is extraordinary and concerns Your Majesty and many adults. It is better for you not to get too involved."
