Daughter of Hou's Mansion

"What evidence do you have for what you said?" Everyone thought together, and even looked at Lin Zixuan with less contempt. Mr. Fu asked impatiently. It would be best if there was evidence. They will now You can enter the palace, or even go directly to face the saint, no matter how confused the emperor is, he will not pass the throne to someone who is not from the Shangguan family.

Lin Zixuan didn't look at the questioner, but looked straight at the sixth prince, and said calmly: "I don't have any evidence, but what do you think of Xiaomin's guess?" It was deduced from the chats with the eunuchs he was familiar with and the coincidences that happened one after another. Since the queen and the Qin family dared to make such a plan, how could he, who can only be regarded as the head of the princess mansion, have the ability to find any evidence.

But if he can't find it, it doesn't mean that others can't find it. Princess Duanmin or the Sixth Prince sitting above must have a lot of power in the palace. If you search in this direction, there is no guarantee that you won't find something. Come.

Lin Zixuan's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on everyone's hearts. They thought that there was some evidence for him to say such a thing, but it turned out to be a groundless guess.The old minister, who had always seen Lin Zixuan's displeasure, couldn't help asking: "Say things without evidence to please us, hmph, are you deliberately playing tricks on us?"

Lin Zixuan glanced at the old minister with a goatee, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. In his opinion, such an old man who doesn't know how to adapt is really not suitable for this place. Probably the sixth prince is also unavailable, so all cats and dogs are regarded as confidantes.

Lin Zixuan straightened his back, looked at Shang Guanquan and said, "My lord, do you think these words of grassroots are nonsense? Don't your lord think this is what your lord needs most?" It's better to be famous than to be cast aside, uncle Grabbing the throne of a nephew is not a pleasant thing.

Shangguan Quan's scrutinizing gaze was exceptionally sharp, but Lin Zixuan did not dodge or avoid it, with a smile on his lips.

After a while, Shangguan Quan laughed loudly and said: "Okay, okay, sister Huang, the person recommended this time has some kind of meaning. It has been a long time since the king has met such a suitable person."

Shangguan Quan's words made the old minister with a goatee change his expression, and he gave Lin Zixuan a hard look. After all, he didn't dare to confront the sixth prince at this time, so he lowered his head in displeasure.

Lin Zixuan was not at all surprised by the words of the sixth prince, and bowed to him, "Thank you for your appreciation." The sixth prince is a smart man, and he has already thought of going with him.

"Sister Huang, maybe you can go to Kunning Palace to meet our little nephew more often." Shangguan Quan said to Princess Duanmin with a smile.

This is to let her try it out, Princess Duan Min nodded and replied: "I know how to do it."

Ever since the crown prince died in Kunning Palace last time, the queen has also learned to behave. Kunning Palace is almost surrounded like a bucket, so she doesn't even have a chance to do anything, but I really didn't expect that dignified and generous Jiang He is also very courageous, he dared to confuse the royal blood, the Jiang family's plan is indeed not small, but they don't know that there are praying mantises catching cicadas, and there are orioles waiting behind.

************************************************** ****

Stone City, although after Bei Rong's siege, this small city in the northwest looks a little dilapidated, but because of Bei Rong's retreat, it is an inspiring event for the defenders and people of Stone City. After leaving their homes, they can still live in this place.

After returning from Beibei, Shangguan Jue devoted himself to the busy post-war recovery work. The defenders who died because of this time's defense of the city received a pension of 100 taels of silver each, and anyone who could find the body and check the identity The defenders were properly buried.And each of the surviving defenders rose to a higher level.

In addition, the repair work of the city gate and city wall has to be arranged, so Shangguan is still busy most of the time and no one is seen.

But for Qingluan, even so, life is much more secure than before, at least she knows that Shangguanjue is not far away from her.

"Concubine Shizi, lunch is ready." The servant girl came in to report, but she saw Qingluan changed into a blue padded coat with a piece of blue floral cloth wrapped around her head, just like ordinary women in the northwest.

The little maid couldn't help being surprised. Although she didn't understand the situation, she also knew that the people they were serving were not ordinary people, but they were all nobles from the capital. She couldn't figure out how this noble could endure the hardships in the northwest Life.

Seeing her terrified expression, Qingluan couldn't help touching the scarf on her head, then looked back at Baitian and asked, "Am I ugly like this?"

Bai Tian didn't know how to answer. This dress is not comparable to the original silk and brocade ones. Uh, it can't be said to be ugly either. The princess's skin is very white, even if the wind and sand in the northwest blows, it doesn't change much. , so that this outfit looks a bit like a village flower in the country.

Qingluan couldn't see anything from Bai Tian's expression, so she touched her face and said: "It's okay to look in the mirror just now, and I think the cotton clothes are quite comfortable to wear, let's go , anyway, everyone outside is dressed like this."

Qingluan smiled optimistically. It is normal for her to walk on the streets of Stone City in this outfit. Only those brocade clothes and satin that she went to Beijing will attract attention.

"Concubine Shizi, are you really going?" Bai Zhou hesitated and asked.

"Of course, you see, sister-in-law Quan is still delivering meals to brother Quan, so let's also go to see how the stone city walls are recovering?" Qingluan turned around and entered the kitchen with a smile.

The stunned little maid came back to her senses and followed into the kitchen in a hurry.

After a while, the little maid carried a food box in her hand and followed behind Qingluan.

Looking at Qingluan's excited look during the day, he couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, well, forget it, I guess the son will be very happy if he sees the concubine Shizi.Bai Zhou sighed, and went straight to the front yard to set up a carriage. There were not many people serving in this yard, and most of the time, Qingluan didn't need those maids to serve him, and Bai Zhou also had to be a coachman while serving as a bodyguard.

The streets of Stone City still returned to the bustle of the past, Qingluan sat in the front of the car generously, watching those people coming and going, and the hawkers hawking, his eyes gradually stained with a smile.

Here is not as prosperous and lively as in Shangjing, and food, clothing, housing and transportation are much worse than in Shangjing, but there is freedom here that she never dared to imagine.The women here are no longer confined to the one-acre three-point land in the inner courtyard. Their men want to defend the Stone City, so they must provoke the whole family like a man. They are bold, tough, and have all the good qualities. It is like a flower rooted in the northwest, which cannot be blown down even by violent sandstorms.

Holding the rein with both hands during the day, seeing Qingluan smiling, "Shizi Concubine, do you like this place very much?"

"Yeah, Bai Tian, ​​don't you think it's very good here? At least the women here don't have so many rules and regulations to restrict them. They even become the pillars of the family as tough as men. They won't play tricks on you. They are straightforward and kind." And straightforward, I like the life here, I don't have to be on guard against other people's tricks even when I sleep like in Shangjing." Qingluan had a slight smile on his face, and his tone was very satisfied.

During the day, he was silent in his heart, thinking that the son of the future would appreciate the concubine's peace of mind the most.

In a quarter of an hour, the carriage arrived at its destination.

Most of the repair work was done by the defenders, but the stonemasons in Stone City and people who would have done the job rushed over to help.Although due to this war, Stone City suffered a lot of losses, but many people have reverence and gratitude for the defenders who guarded Stone City.

Coupled with Shangguan's spare no effort in funding, the court did not allocate funds, so he directly took the money from Hongye Villa. The post-war restoration work of the entire Stone City was orderly. Now when the city walls and gates are being repaired, some people spontaneously Water and food were brought, and it can be said that the whole city was mobilized.

Qingluan looked at those people who were doing it in full swing, and suddenly felt moved in his heart.The small stone city made her truly feel the power of unity.

Shangguan Jue also took off his heavy armor and put on coarse clothes. As the general of the defenders of Stone City and a key figure in the retreat of the Northern Rong, he is a heroic figure in the hearts of the people and defenders of Stone City.

And he didn't put on airs, and even carried those stones with them. His personal behavior made the people and the defenders happy. At least in Stone City, Shangguan Jue's prestige had surpassed that of Prince Qin.

"Brother, sister-in-law is here." Shangguan Li was the first to see Qingluan with sharp eyes, and he quickly called Shangguanjue who was carrying the stone.

Someone nearby heard it and immediately stepped forward to take over Shangguan Jue's work and said, "General, madam, you can go quickly."

Shangguanjue straightened up, his eyes lit up when he saw Qingluan's appearance, and he walked over quickly.Of course, Shangguan Li noticed that Qingluan was carrying the food box in his hand, and followed him unceremoniously, it was different with his wife around.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Li couldn't help but think of his family in Shangjing, his expression darkened, and he couldn't even take a step forward.He is not a fool either, when he heard what happened in Shangjing, he was shocked and angry.

Although it is said that it was the Jiang family's calculation, but at the Daxiang Temple, his grandmother, mother and wife were all there. They are obviously a family, but in the end it was the sister-in-law who had an accident, and his own sister was so calculating in the Jiang family. After becoming his sister-in-law, he still has to marry into Jiang's family. What's the matter?

Qingluan picked up the handkerchief and wiped the dust and sweat from Shangguanjue's face, just in time to see Shangguanli walking back with a sullen expression, so he pushed Shangguanjue and asked him to call his second brother over. She also prepared a meal.
