Chapter 189 Master He visits the Shaoqing Mansion
Sun Yan was stunned for a moment, and quickly agreed: "Many people said before that Miss Kou looks like Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

Like a princess?
The face of Princess Zhaoyang appeared in Emperor Xingyuan's mind, and he indeed found the similarities between the two.

But there was still a lingering sense of weirdness in him.

"Many people say that Miss Kou looks like a princess?"

"Yes, on Chongyang Day, Miss Kou and Her Royal Highness the Princess were at Bailu Mountain together, and many people found out. Her Highness the Princess even talked to Miss Kou because of this."

"That's it." Emperor Xing Yuan thought in his heart that Miss Kou and the imperial sister are only somewhat similar, but they are eight or nine points like him.

But it was inappropriate to say this.

He silently suppressed the idea of ​​continuing to talk about Miss Kou, and walked to the desk to deal with government affairs.

It was already the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, and in previous years, all officials would have been on vacation long ago, but this year, due to the sudden earthquake in Dingbei, disaster relief has become a top priority. Many officials are still busy, especially Emperor Xingyuan.

The desk case is full of memorials, just picking up one and opening it makes people feel heavy.

After reading a few excerpts, Emperor Xingyuan pressed his hand and suddenly remembered: "Sun Yan, I remember that you handed Mr. Songling's new book a few days ago."

"Ah, yes." There was surprise in Sun Yan's eyes, he didn't expect the emperor to remember this after so long.

"Where's the book?"

Sun Yan immediately stepped forward and flipped through it, took out a book from the pile of papers, and offered it with both hands: "Your Majesty, here it is."

Emperor Xing Yuan took the book and looked at it casually.

Compared with most story books, this book is a bit thin, which is why it is priced at two hundred articles per volume. The word "Journey to the West" came into view, and Emperor Xingyuan had a vague sense of familiarity.

Without thinking too much, he rubbed the space between his brows to relieve his fatigue, and opened the book casually.

Before the earthquake, he was indeed interested in Mr. Song Ling's new book, but he put it aside temporarily because he was busy.Now worrying about Dingbei day and night, I have long since lost the mood to read idle books.

Emperor Xingyuan was very clear about his state of mind, he wanted to read this book now because Miss Kou was the owner of Qingsong Bookstore.You can't keep chatting about Miss Kou with the servant, just read the books in her bookstore.

"It is said that there is a Huaguo Mountain in the south of the Luojiang River, and there is a fairy stone on the mountain... One day the fairy stone cracked, and a stone egg rolled out, and the stone egg turned into a stone monkey..."

The sound of chair feet rubbing against the ground sounded, Emperor Xing Yuan suddenly stood up, and books and newspapers fell to the ground.

Sun Yan, who was waiting at the side, was startled: "Your Majesty—"

"Is this book written by Mr. Songling?" Emperor Xingyuan asked while clutching "Journey to the West".

Emperor Xingyuan's expression made Sun Yan even more shocked, but he didn't dare to show it at all: "Reporting to Your Majesty, "Journey to the West" is Mr. Songling's new book. It was released at Qingsong Bookstore on the first day of the twelfth lunar month. book listing..."

Although Emperor Xingyuan didn't read "Journey to the West" at the first time, Sun Yan didn't ignore the news about Mr. Songling's new book, so that the emperor wouldn't be ignorant when he suddenly asked about it.

Emperor Xing Yuan couldn't listen to what Sun Yan said later, his mind was full of what he had just seen.

Huaguoshan, Xianshi...

Xinxin came to them as a refugee.Later he asked Xinxin where she was from and how her parents were.Xinxin laughed and said that her family lived in Huaguoshan, and she jumped out of a rock...

Xinxin didn't even say this in front of the imperial sister, and he always treated it as a little joke between husband and wife.

This Mr. Songling must be very familiar with Xinxin!
"Sun Yan—"

"The servant is here."

"Immediately pass Changle Hou into the palace."

"Yes." Sun Yan had countless guesses in his mind, but he didn't dare to reveal the slightest, and quickly arranged.

After receiving the oral order, He Qingxiao immediately entered the palace.

"My minister has seen His Majesty."

Emperor Xingyuan didn't care to express his uncle's and nephew's deep affection, and raised his hand: "Qingxiao, you go and bring Mr. Songling to me."

"Yes." He Qingxiao's eyes moved, and he left the palace and went straight to Qingsong Bookstore.

It was still snowing in the sky, there were not many pedestrians on the street, and the door of Qingsong Bookstore was also closed.

He Qingxiao stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The door opened quickly. Seeing He Qingxiao, Liu Zhou froze for a moment and then quickly turned sideways: "Master He, please come in."

In the study hall, shopkeeper Hu was arranging the bookshelves with a stone, when he saw He Qingxiao came in, he hurriedly said hello: "Master He is here."

"The bookstore is—"

"The owner said that it will be closed from today, and it will reopen on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year." Shopkeeper Hu said with a smile.

"Is Miss Kou behind?"

The old shopkeeper's smile faded by two points: "I'm not here, my master has returned to Shaoqing's mansion."

Mr. He has changed. In the past, he came to Qingsong Bookstore to read books, but later on, he mostly came to find an owner.

The original intention is gone.

Shopkeeper Hu sighed deeply in his heart.

"That's annoying." He Qingxiao said politely and left in a hurry.

Shopkeeper Hu rushed to the door and looked out.

"Shopkeeper, what are you looking at?" Liu Zhou squeezed over, wondering.

Shopkeeper Hu stroked his beard: "Look at the direction Mr. He is going, is it Shaoqing's Mansion?"

It was indeed the Shaoqing Mansion that He Qingxiao rode his horse to.

Duan Shaoqing thought he was hallucinating after receiving the report from his subordinates.

I didn't drink much at noon, maybe I'm drunk?
He was still at a loss until he saw He Qingxiao in brocade clothes.

What is He Qingxiao doing in Shaoqing's mansion?
"Master Duan, is Miss Kou in your residence?" He Qingxiao asked straight to the point.

Duan Shaoqing's pupils trembled.

Looking for a girl to find a home?

This, this, this... shameless!How decent!

"Is Miss Kou not here?"

Duan Shaoqing's face darkened slightly: "I don't know why Mr. He is looking for Qingqing?"

He Qingxiao cupped his hands upwards: "I want to know about the Qingsong Bookstore. If Miss Kou is in your residence, please come out as soon as possible, so as not to keep Jinshang waiting for a long time."

"Are you going to tell Qingqing to enter the palace today?" Duan Shaoqing was astonished.

"For the time being, I will be ordered to come down to understand."

Duan Shaoqing looked at the expression of the man across from him, and gave up his doubts.

No matter how daring He Qingxiao is, it is impossible for him to falsely preach the oracle.

He didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately ordered his servants to go to Wanqingju to invite someone.

On the way to the flower hall, Xinyou always asked her servants to confirm: "Is it Mr. He, the Fushi of Jinlinwei Town?"

"Yes."

Xin You hurriedly walked past the bluestone road of Shaoqing's Mansion, and had a guess in her heart: Master He went directly to the door of Shaoqing's Mansion to find her, probably related to that person in the palace.

Just on the side of the lotus garden, there shouldn't be such a follow-up.It would be absurd for the king of a country to send Jin Linwei to visit because a girl looks like him.

So to speak——Xin You paused, her expression changed slightly.

The reaction in her heart was even bigger: "Journey to the West" must have been seen by that person!
Xin You previously told He Qingxiao that there was a way to get Emperor Xing Yuan to take the initiative to investigate the matter of Wanyang years ago, which was based on the book "Journey to the West".

She also thought that Emperor Xing Yuan might not read it immediately, but she believed that as "Journey to the West" was released one by one, it would set off an upsurge of people in the capital chasing after the book, and that person would see it sooner or later.

The only thing that is not beautiful is talking big in front of Mr. He.

Now it seems that the time is still expected.

Xin You suppressed her thoughts and walked into the flower hall.
