idle mistress

Chapter 96 The Wind
"The man sitting on the main seat below, do you know who it is?"

Xu Weiqiu looked in the direction of his finger, it was okay not to look, but when he saw it, he panicked immediately, isn't it Zhao Yan who is sitting?
I forgot to read the almanac when I went out today, and this can happen.She quickly shrank her head back.

Zeng Fengyuan didn't see anything strange about her, and said, "That's a big shot."

Xu Weiqiu said with a sullen face: "I know, isn't it Prince Ling?"

"Ah... dare you know?" Zeng Fengyuan kept staring downstairs, sighed in his heart:
"I heard that this man is extremely brave, and he can defeat a hundred on the battlefield. I thought he was a rough man, but I didn't expect his temperament to be so noble and extraordinary."

"I've also heard that even the current emperor has to look at his face in the court. This man, who is less than thirty years old, has already given power to the government and the public, and his appearance is so outstanding. He is really the pride of heaven..."

While speaking, Zeng Fengyuan sighed for a long time, and then said: "However, there is something unsatisfactory about such a man who stands at the pinnacle of power. The Princess Ling is a village girl from a humble background. Ugly looking."

When Xu Weiqiu heard this, he felt unhappy. He gave him a blank look and said, "All the dishes are ready, should you eat or not? There's so much nonsense."

Zeng Fengyuan looked at the table and saw that several dishes were laid out neatly, with all the flavors and aromas, which made people's index fingers twitch, and as expected, he shut up.

The two started eating, and while they were eating, Zeng Fengyuan remembered something, and said, "Doctor Shen, what kind of herbs do you need? Just hire a few hunters to go up the mountain to find them. Why take the risk by yourself."

Xu Weiqiu put a mouthful of vegetables in his mouth, and said softly: "How many herbs can hunters know? It's okay, I have experience in going to the mountains."

Zhao Yan was downstairs, and she didn't dare to go downstairs rashly. Even though she was dressed as a foreigner, she couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't be recognized.

While speaking, she secretly glanced around a few times, wondering if there were any other exits from this place, and retreated after eating, but she didn't listen to a word Zeng Fengyuan said...

Several aunts of the Mausoleum Palace gathered in the back garden of Yang's residence. Many flowers had withered in this season, but the sweet-scented osmanthus and autumn chrysanthemums were in full bloom.

The women talked and laughed, and they were very friendly.

Not far away, five children were playing there. They were the sons and daughters of Wang Shizi and the brothers and sisters of the Gao family.

Looking around, it's a scene of peace and happiness.

Xu Xiaoke was sitting on Yang's right hand. Relying on her status as the eldest son's aunt, she never treated herself as an outsider. She often came to Yang's place, came and went, and became acquainted with Yang.

Several aunts learned from her that the prince went to Princess Ling's house yesterday, and they all showed strange expressions.

Staying alone in an empty house for nine springs and autumns, youth wasted, and the faces of several aunts were more or less resentful, but Feng's face was full of happiness.

Seeing that Xu Xiaoke was still there, due to her status, it was difficult for everyone to say anything, so they turned the topic to Feng Shi.

Seeing that her face was rosy and radiant, Mrs. Huang couldn't help but said: "Sister Feng, what kind of rejuvenating medicine did you take, and she is getting more and more lovely."

Feng shyly covered her face: "Sister Huang is absurd."

Mrs. Yang looked at her, saw that she was charming and charming, and she was hiding her jealousy, and asked, "I heard that sister Feng often goes to the temple to pay respects to the Buddha recently."

Mrs. Feng nodded, saying that she likes to go into the temple and listen to the monk's lecture, it's quiet.

Xu Xiaoke has always been a person who doesn't understand etiquette. Hearing this, he chuckled and joked, "I heard that there is a young monk in Beichang Temple who looks better than Pan An. Sister Feng is here to see a handsome man, right?"

Feng's face changed slightly after hearing this.

This remark was indeed abrupt and rude, Huang held back her smile, and reminded with pretended kindness: "Sister Feng, it's better not to run outside recently, it's not very peaceful outside recently."

After hearing the words, Mrs. Qian answered, "Yes, there are a lot of refugees here. It seems that Qi County was attacked by insects, and many people died of starvation."

Several women quickly shifted the topic to the refugees, but Feng didn't answer much. On the surface, she was fine, but in her heart she hated this big fat man surnamed Xu, and she even hated her sister, Princess Ling.

Everyone chatted for a long time, and they didn't leave until evening, but Xu Xiaoke was reluctant to leave, she treated everyone just like her, she dragged Yang to the side and kept criticizing her sister.

While the two were talking, Xu Xiaoke glanced at the young Prince Wang approaching, pretending not to see him, but raising his voice a little.

"Although my sister is the mistress of the palace, she should have stayed in the mansion peacefully. As a woman, she runs around all day long, and she doesn't know what to do outside. Sister Yang, I am a sister with her, it's scary She made a mistake."

After hearing this, Mrs. Yang was very excited, and asked: "What kind of news did my sister get?"

Xu Xiaoke leaned close to her ear mysteriously: "I heard that my sister is stealing men outside."

Yang Shi said with a surprised face on the side: "Sister, you can't talk nonsense without evidence."

Although the voices of the two people's voices were suppressed a little, they still fell into the ears of the Prince behind him without missing a word.

Zhao Yi's face changed drastically, and he ran away with red eyes.

Seeing this, Xu Xiaoke raised the corners of her lips slightly, revealing a triumphant smile.

Two days later, Zhao Yan left Huai City due to business, Xu Weiqiu saw the right time, just as he left, she left the palace with her back foot, and today she was going to Shifeng Mountain to collect herbs.

After leaving the gate of the palace, she felt as if someone was following her all the time, but when she looked back, she saw nothing.

So she walked a long way, and finally hired a carriage halfway, and drove out of the city.

The carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain, and she walked up the mountain alone with a basket on her back.She walked all the way, looking for valuable medicinal herbs, looking at them seriously, but she didn't know that a small figure followed behind her silently and far away.

In the evening, when Zhao Yan finished his official duties and returned to the mansion, Guan Shi came to report in a panic, saying that the prince had disappeared and the concubine had not returned at night.

Zhao Yan frowned: "Didn't he be assigned a guard?"

Wang Shizi's two guards and personal attendants were brought to him, and their faces were all pale.

You must know that the master is lost, they are all to blame, if the master can be found, it will be fine, if not, the few of them who are serving in front of him will never be able to shirk the blame.

The King of Ling glanced coldly, and the few people kneeling on the ground shuddered suddenly. Wang Shizi's personal attendant knelt on the ground tremblingly, and replied with a mournful face:

"Your Highness, the son of the world ran out after pouring sweat medicine into the meals of the servants."

"Why would he do this?"

"The slave doesn't know either." Waiting for his head to fall on the ground, dripping with cold sweat.
