Chapter 440 Shared Reward
In the glazed mirror, playing one party is like playing life, the living dies, and the dead lives.

The people who set up the scene don't have any opinions on this "Resurrection".

For He Lingjiang, although it will take some time to break through this illusion, it is not difficult.

It's just that she worked hard to repair the glazed mirror, in order not to destroy it backhandedly.

She walked back and forth through the mirrored garden several times, and what is interesting is that no matter how she walked, she would eventually return to the same place.

He Lingjiang took a closer look at it inside and out before breaking out.

When the illusion dissipated, only the octagonal glazed mirror remained in front of my eyes, and it fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

The mirror surface that had been repaired was cracked like a spider's web, and the mirror surface even fell off and splashed, making it difficult to restore.

He Ling Jiang Fuxiu folded it up, put it in the square on the bookshelf, then went to the desk, picked up a pen to draw and write down the scene of the people and the various structures in the courtyard just now.

By the time everything was over, several layers of paper had already been laid on the table.

She stared quietly at the rice paper on the table, and then sighed quietly for a long time.

A person who can create such an unpredictable illusion must not only be proficient in profound arts, but also quite accomplished in Qimen Dunjia.

Although he hadn't fought against him directly, He Lingjiang could have guessed how powerful this person was.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have easily known Pei You who was stalking secretly behind him, and would have used illusions to trap him.

This person cannot be underestimated.

As the plague subsided, the bustle and bustle of the past was restored inside and outside Yingdu.

Because of Princess Yongmu's contribution this time, the emperor specially rewarded her.

Yong Mu thanked the emperor humbly, but he never seemed overly happy and flamboyant, on the contrary, the prince and queen couldn't hide the joy in their eyes.

Yongmu was appreciated by the saints, how could they not be honored as the emperor's elder brother and the empress mother?

Seeing that, the emperor treated the prince with a more pleasant expression.

However, the family was happy and the family was sad, so King Duan and Concubine Zhao couldn't be happy at all.

Yongmu made meritorious service, and the prince became more and more powerful.

With Yongmu's assistance, the emperor obviously felt more at ease with the crown prince, and the originally precarious position of crown prince became more secure.

Is their planning for so many years going to waste?

Naturally, King Duan and Concubine Zhao were not reconciled, and they also frequently acted secretly.

On this day, He Lingjiang received a post.

It's just that the person who posted the post surprised her, it was Cui's Ninth Lady.

She has seen this Cui Jiuniang several times, she is fifteen or sixteen years old, she speaks and behaves very elegantly, and she has a good appearance again, which is impressive.

It's just that the He family and the Cui family have no close relationship, and He Lingjiang seldom participated in the banquets between the young ladies, so the two met on weekdays and it was just a nodding acquaintance.

Unexpectedly, Cui Jiuniang ordered a post from her today.

He Lingjiang took a look again, and he was indeed right. There was indeed a line of words clearly written on the flower paper: Mrs. He Qi, Jiu Niang recently found a rare flower, and I specially invite Mrs. Qin to come and enjoy it. "

Invite her to enjoy the flowers?

The relationship between them is not so close, is it?

He Lingjiang couldn't help frowning.

She flipped through the post, and found a small note in an inconspicuous place: "Jiu Niang has something to ask, please take the time to come here, Jiu Niang is waiting in the mansion."

Now that she said so, He Lingjiang narrowed his eyes, so it's okay to make this trip.

She ordered to go on, and Qiong Zhi sent the reply over.

On the second day, He Lingjiang drove to Cui's mansion in a carriage after cleaning up.

The Cui family is also a prominent family, which is the direct branch of the Qinghe Cui family. After moving south to Jiangzhou, they became the most prominent family in Jiangzhou.

In this generation, Cui Huai, the Patriarch, was at the top of the imperial court and held an important position in the Shangshuling, and Cui Min, the Patriarch of Erlang, was in charge of the Annan Protectorate.

This Cui family has always kept a low profile, but its power has become more and more intertwined inside and outside the Dazhou Temple.

Thinking of the Cui family, He Lingjiang unexpectedly thought of Prince Duan.

Concubine Duan is the daughter of the head of the Cui family, the second in the family.

As far as she knew, Cui Huai had no intention of getting married to the royal family, but King Duan somehow managed to win Mistress Cui's heart. Mistress Cui would not marry unless she was a king, Cui Huai couldn't resist her, so he had to let her go.

However, in He Lingjiang's view, this move was really terrible.

With Cui's family background, he will not get involved in the struggle for imperial power, as long as he does not cross the emperor's bottom line, he can continue to prosper.

But if he entered the game of imperial power, everything would be difficult to say.

The He family is a living example.

Even though Cui Huai intentionally distanced himself from Prince Duan's Mansion after his daughter got married, the world would inevitably regard the two as one.

From then on, with Prince Duan's Mansion, both were prosperous, and both were lost.

Cui Jiuniang invites you today. Is it because she has something to ask, or is there a shadow of Duan Wangfu and Zhao's family behind her?

While He Lingjiang was thinking, the carriage stopped slowly.

Qingzhu and Qiongzhi followed behind her, and entered Cui's mansion together with her.

Cui's mansion occupies a huge area, but there are curved bridges and corridors, flowers and trees, and whitewashed walls and flower windows everywhere in the mansion, everything is just right and pleasant.

Cui's servants led her to Cui Jiuniang's yard, and then she bent down and retreated.

Seeing her coming, Cui Jiuniang rushed forward to meet her: "Miss He Qi, you are here."

He Lingjiang nodded with a smile: "Miss Cui Jiu invited me with a wonderful flower, how can I not come?"

Cui Jiuniang covered her lips and smiled: "Since Qi Niangzi is curious, why don't I show you? Just ask someone to prepare fragrant tea in the pavilion, and you and I can enjoy the flowers and drink tea at the same time. Isn't it elegant?"

"Naturally." He Lingjiang didn't know what she was up to, so he followed her.

Together with Cui Jiuniang, she walked around the courtyard and saw a large area of ​​flowers and trees in front of her eyes. The green and white petals were very elegant, and when the wind blew, they fell like rain.

He Lingjiang reached out to catch the petals: "It's actually a hawthorn flower. It's rare to see such a flower in the courtyard."

Cui Jiuniang looked up and said with a smile, "My brother didn't let me plant it. He said it blooms in summer and bears fruit in autumn. It can be seen and eaten. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

As she said that, she led He Lingjiang into the pavilion beside her: "It's just that the fruit is so sour, I can't eat it. Whoever is like him likes to eat it."

He Lingjiang smiled: "Sweet and sour lies in one's own heart. Hawthorn can be used as food and medicine. It is a good thing."

"My elder brother said the same thing." Cui Jiuniang smiled, "If you like it, I'll send some to your residence when it bears fruit this year."

"Don't bother." He Lingjiang declined with a smile.

"What's the trouble?" Cui Jiuniang waved her hand, "Anyway, I can't finish these fruits."

She stretched out her hand to ask He Lingjiang to sit down, and the maid who was carrying the teapot behind her stepped forward to pour tea.

When the maid retreated, He Lingjiang raised her hand to indicate that Qingzhu and Qiongzhi also retreated outside the pavilion. She took a sip of tea and asked slowly, "There is no one in the pavilion right now. I wonder if Jiu Niangzi invited me to come?" Come, what do you want to ask?"

Cui Jiuniang lowered her head and smiled embarrassedly: "To be honest, it is not Jiuniang who invited Mrs. He Qin to consult today, but someone else..."

"Oh?" He Lingjiang raised his eyebrows, "I don't know who it is?"

Seeing her like this, Cui Jiuniang couldn't help but turn slightly red: "Yes... it's my brother..."

She lied to Mrs. He Qi and introduced her to meet her elder brother. Even if Mrs. He Qi is not an ordinary lady in the boudoir, she would be a little unhappy if you think about it?

He Lingjiang frowned slightly: "Cui Shishilang?"
