Fengmou Jiangshan

Chapter 117

The three of them are the eldest in the family, how can they wait for others when they always have others waiting for them?

It's not that I'm impatient, but that I have more energy than energy, and my body can't help it!It can't be compared to the maids who serve in the palace 360 ​​days a year. Even if they stand for a whole day, their waists don't hurt, their legs don't hurt, and their face doesn't change.

Especially the two wives, Lu and Zhang, looked anxious, uneasy, expecting, forbearing, anxious, and suffering.Because the Princess Yizheng lived in the capital city and had more training opportunities than them, she was more tolerant than them. However, she couldn't take it anymore.

Aunt Su stood by the side like a lone pine, she seemed to be watching the three people's movements quietly, she saw that the brocade handkerchief in Mrs. Zhang's hand was almost crushed and Mrs. Lu's forehead had been scratched Beads of sweat, a little estimate, it's almost time.

So Aunt Su took two steps forward lightly, bowed her knees gracefully to the princess who discussed politics and the other three, and said with a smile: "Princess and the two wives, please be patient, maybe your majesty is not free yet! Suying," said Aunt Su, turning her head Call: "Go and see!"

"Yes, Auntie!" Suying also bowed gracefully, bowed her head and went calmly.

The Princess Yizheng and the two wives, Lu and Zhang, cheered up, watched Suying's leaving back eagerly, and smiled at Aunt Su: "Thank you, Aunt Su!"

"It's such a trivial matter, why worry about it!" Aunt Su pursed her lips and smiled softly.

The three of them were anxiously waiting for Suying's news. With eager anticipation, the waiting time became more and more difficult. As a result, their calves began to tremble!
Another quarter of an hour later, Su Yingfang folded her hands in front of her face, and walked out with small graceful steps. The three princesses, the princess and the princess, looked at her like devout believers who had seen the true body of a Bodhisattva, all shining brightly.

Mrs. Lu's body is weak, especially she couldn't wait. Before Aunt Su could speak, she hurriedly asked, "How is it, Your Majesty, are you done with your work?"

Suying glanced at Mrs. Lu, then at Aunt Su, then shook her head, and said, "Teacher Shen is giving lectures to His Majesty, and Sister Xianglin is still guarding outside right now, and she hasn't seen His Majesty yet! She asked The servant girl will come back first and report to the princess and the two wives, please wait a moment."

The three of them couldn't help showing disappointment, you looked at me, I looked at you, dumbfounded.

Aunt Su smiled helplessly, and said softly: "It's a coincidence, the princess and the two wives probably don't know about it, but His Majesty ordered yesterday to listen to Taifu Shen's lectures and not to be disturbed by anyone. I haven't seen a single foreign minister in the past two days! The concubine and the two wives are different from others, so the servants passed it on for them. If they were others, they would block them back! But," Aunt Su looked at Princess Yizheng suspiciously, and asked with a puzzled smile, "Yizheng The king also asked to see His Majesty yesterday, His Majesty already explained the reason why he did not see him, why didn't the king tell the concubine when discussing politics?"

As soon as Aunt Su finished speaking, Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Zhang turned their heads to look at her at the same time, their gazes were piercing like needles.

The concubine who discussed politics was very embarrassing, and she managed to squeeze out a few smiles. Because of her guilty conscience, her tone was much weaker and she said with a smile: "There is such a thing? Sigh, I am a woman, how can the prince who has no reason tell me?" What about these! If I had known this, I should have asked the prince before going out today!"

The concubine who discussed the political affairs pretended to complain, pretending to be stupid, Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Zhang thought about it, and the unhappiness in their hearts disappeared immediately.

Mrs. Zhang looked at this and then at that, then smiled at Aunt Su: "Since Your Majesty is busy, we don't dare to disturb each other, we will come back another day! I would like to ask Aunt Su to forward the snacks, is that possible? "

"Yes, yes! Aunt Su, please turn around and report to Your Majesty!" Mrs. Lu also hurriedly said.

"Well, since the princess and the two wives are here, let's leave like this. If His Majesty finds out, he will blame the servants for their lack of service. How can this be done!" Aunt Su pretended to decline.

The two wives, Lu and Zhang, were so frightened that their hearts trembled and their faces turned pale again. They were so frightened that they said it was okay and insisted on leaving. The princess who discussed politics originally wanted to wait, but was disturbed by the two of them. , It's not easy to insist anymore, so I have to go along with it.

Aunt Su asked to stay again and again, but was finally persuaded by them, she said with a smile: "Since that's the case, this servant will send the princess and the two wives out, and come back sometime when the concubine and the wives are free. Your Majesty values ​​the three of you very much!"

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, please trouble Auntie!" The three of them spoke at a bit of incoherence.

Aunt Su smiled and led the way.

Unexpectedly, after standing for a long time, the bones of these three people were stiff, their calves were numb, their blood vessels were not flowing smoothly, and they couldn't even move a step if there was a heavy weight falling from their feet!Standing there, looking at Aunt Su in embarrassment.

Aunt Su was stunned, her eyes rolled, and her eyes swept away. Suying and other young maids stepped forward with a tacit understanding, and each of them helped the other out.

Out of the corridor of the Yuhua Palace, the maids and old ladies who came with everyone rushed forward to help, and the princess who was discussing politics even smiled, and said to Aunt Su: "Aunt Su, you are the first female official by His Majesty's side, why don't you?" How about you send me off? You’d better go back, just point out a maid to see you off, it’s not the first time we’ve come back and don’t know our way.”

After hearing this, the two wives, Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Zhang, nodded their heads and said yes, and said what if His Majesty wants to find Aunt Su?Let's go back, don't dare to be like Yunyun!

Aunt Su understood that Princess Yizheng wanted to dismiss her so that she could communicate with Mu Tiannan, and of course she would help her, so she said a few words politely, and ordered Suying and another little court lady to send her off to see them When he left, he went back by himself.

"How? Did they—have any suspicions?" Seeing Aunt Su's return, Xiang Lin hurriedly asked.

Aunt Su shook her head and said, "It's not true, I think they are also very confused."

As they said that, the two looked at each other and smiled, and both breathed a sigh of relief.What the Princess Yizheng saw and heard with her own eyes, together with the ambiguous news delivered by Mu Tiannan, was enough for the Prince Yizheng to entertain her for two days.

"I hope His Majesty will come back soon!" Xianglin couldn't help clasping her hands together in front of her chest, looking up at the sky and sighing quietly.The tragedy of being killed because of leaving the palace in a micro-clothes is like a nightmare that penetrates into the bone marrow. In the past two days, Xianglin's heart has not been suspended in the air for a moment, like walking on floating threads, as if it can be broken when the wind blows.

"Actually, the old man thinks that there is no need to hide this matter from Prince Mu, even if he knows." Shen Liulian, who cooperated with them in acting, brushed his beard and said disapprovingly.

Xiang Lin hurriedly said: "Absolutely not! Your Majesty has taken such risks and ties to go out of the palace in disguise! It's nothing if Prince Mu knows, but the less people know about this matter, the better. It will be dangerous for His Majesty if it is spread to the ears of irrelevant people! Besides, Lord Mu may not agree with this matter, if he knows the purpose of His Majesty's trip, he will inevitably object, then in the later stage—”

Shen Liulian thought about it, and couldn't help nodding.Gu Qinghua came out of the palace in order to negotiate peace with the pirates and work hard for the stability of the southern sea area. Except for Shen Liulian himself, it can be said that everyone else in the court has an unforgivable disgust and hostility towards pirates.Including the King of Political Affairs, Shen Liulian has also tried to beat around the bush, and the King of Political Affairs has the same attitude as everyone else.As for Shen Liulian himself, if he hadn't seen, experienced, and comprehended in southern Xinjiang all these years, he believed that his attitude was no different from those people!
If the King of Political Affairs finds out about this matter, it will inevitably make him unhappy, and if he yells out again, it will ruin Gu Qinghua's affairs!It's better to hide it from him first, and then open up when the time is right. If he wants to blame himself then, just explain it to him!I guess he is not unreasonable...

Seeing that Shen Liulian acquiesced in her actions, Xianglin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he is the emperor's teacher, and he is relatively stubborn. If he objects, it will take a lot of words to persuade him!
That side, Gu Qinghua and Su Jun were still working hard for the negotiation between the two sides, and this side, Xiang Lin and Aunt Su, were also wiping off their sweat because they had finally endured another setback.

"I hope nothing will happen tomorrow!" Aunt Su sighed softly.

Xianglin smiled bitterly, glanced at Aunt Su, shook her head and said, "Auntie thinks too easily about the king of politics! Tomorrow, the king of politics will definitely come to test, aunt, we have to make preparations in advance! I hope your Majesty is going well, Come back early!"

Combined with Princess Yizheng's experience today and Mu Tiannan's ambiguous message, although the king of Yizheng can't be sure for a while, his suspicion will definitely deepen because of this. How could he not come tomorrow?If you don't come early in the morning, you will save face!
Shen Liulian looked at them strangely, and couldn't help defending the king of politics: "Aunt Su and Miss Xianglin, Your Majesty doesn't see your ministers and workers for no reason, and you don't leave notes. The prince's concern for inquiring is also a concern for the king. Why are you two so close?" How should the enemy take precautions? If it wasn't for the special case, and I couldn't tell the prince for the time being, I don't think there is any need to hide His Majesty's whereabouts from the prince!"

Xianglin finally understood why Gu Qinghua didn't use a thousand excuses, but used this method to trap Shen Liulian in the Lishui Palace!She hurriedly smiled and said: "Yes, what you said, Taifu Shen, is that this matter is special, and the servants are so nervous! If your Majesty is not ready yet and this side leaks the secret again, and the big event is missed, How can I do that!"

Shen Liulian couldn't find it funny when he heard it, he smiled very generously and said: "Miss Xianglin, there is no need to remind, the old man will naturally do what he promised His Majesty, and he knows the serious relationship among them, so he will definitely not tell the prince!"

After hearing this, Xiang Lin felt a little sorry, and said with a quick smile: "Teacher Shen, why don't you go down and rest first, and later the servant will ask someone to bring the meal to you?"

Shen Liulian smiled and nodded, said "Yeah" and turned around.Before leaving, she took a deep look at Xianglin from the corner of her eye, wondering why this court lady seemed to have a big prejudice against the prince who discussed politics?

Princess Yizheng used the excuse that she dropped her earrings when she left the palace, and when she ordered her maid to go back to look for it, she quietly contacted Mu Tiannan. When she got on the carriage, she took out the note she had in her sleeve and squeezed it tightly in her hand, thinking Finally completed the task assigned by the prince, this trip is worthwhile!Thinking of his pride, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Princess Yizheng returned to the place where she was staying. She had just changed her clothes and took a cup of tea before she had time to take a sip. King Yizheng came over hurriedly, stepped back from the left and right, and whispered to her: "How is it? Can you find out something unusual? ?”

"My lord, let me take a breather before I talk about it!" The Princess Yizheng smiled like a capable person working hard, and hurriedly drank a sip of tea to moisten her throat, took out a handle to wipe the corners of her mouth, and wiped her mouth. He took out the treasured note, and handed it to the King of Political Affairs with hands like offering treasures: "My lord!"

King Yizheng took it and unfolded it, raised his eyebrows, looked again, twitched his beard and muttered in silence, then folded the paper, and said to Princess Yizheng, "Today, did you see Your Majesty in the palace? "

Princess Yizheng's complexion changed, she averted her husband's aggressive eyes with some guilt, and said, "No, I didn't see you!"

Seeing that King Yizheng's face turned gloomy like June, she hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty is very busy, listening to Taifu Shen's lecture. We waited for almost an hour and didn't see each other. So, well, Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Zhang Madam couldn't stand it, so I had to come back first. Otherwise, I'll go tomorrow—”

"Ridiculous!" The King of Political Affairs flicked his sleeves angrily, and said angrily, "It's really more than a failure! Let's go tomorrow? You can figure it out!"

He walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, and suddenly stood still, raised his head and said to Princess Yizheng: "What is the situation today, please tell me carefully, and don't miss a single word or a word. !"

"Yes, my lord!" The concubine who was discussing politics originally thought that handing over Mu Tiannan's note was a great achievement, and she was waiting for him to praise her. Unexpectedly, her husband is a shrewd and calm master, and suddenly Just hit the thing she wanted to fool the past.After receiving a few reprimands from him, he was very unhappy, and he didn't dare to argue with him, so he had to swallow his anger, recalled carefully, and told Yizheng Wang little by little what happened in Yuhua Palace.

After the King of Political Affairs heard this, if it was him, even if he was asked to wait for a day, he would have to force Gu Qinghua to come out - the premise is that Gu Qinghua is really in the palace!Fortunately, they surrendered in less than an hour!
Perhaps, Xianglin and Aunt Su had seen this point, so they took such a countermeasure, let's put them together!

No matter how unhappy the King of Political Affairs was, there was nothing he could do. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and then he felt a little regretful. If he had known, he should have warned her carefully before she left!A woman with soft feet, a soft-footed crab, what kind of workarounds do you know?What do you know so well?Hmph, it's a shame she hasn't become smarter at all after being by my side for so many years!

"Tell me, Your Majesty, are you in the palace or not?" After finally calming down, he swallowed the annoyance and anger, and the King Yizheng asked.

In order to prove that she is not incompetent and stupid, the Princess of Political Affairs was deceived and teased by Xianglin and Aunt Su. How can she say that she is not there in order to get back her own position?
She knew the temper of King Yizheng, and after listening to his question, she deliberately pretended to think seriously and thought about a few sentences, then nodded, and said, "I think His Majesty should be in the palace! Su Huai is an old fox, so it's fine if he can keep his face, but Xiang Lin, Su Ying and the other little maids are all young and have never seen the big world. If His Majesty is not here, what a big deal it is? The slightest thing is to punish their nine clans, how can their words and deeds be so natural and calm? The concubine has looked at each and every one of them, and I can't feel anything wrong at all! By the way, there is also the one who sent us out of the palace The little palace maid, my concubine has also caught her words, and I can't find anything wrong with listening carefully!"

The king of politics couldn't help but read the note passed by Mu Tiannan carefully again, couldn't help being suspicious, and murmured: "Could it be that this king is suspicious?"

"My concubine is so bold, the lord is probably really suspicious this time! Where is this place? It is the southeast county where pirates are rampant. Although Lizhou is far away from the sea, there is no guarantee that there will be no such villains who are not afraid of death! How could it be possible, Your Majesty It's so risky!" Princess Yizheng felt relieved, and said taking advantage of the situation.

The King of Political Affairs rolled her eyes and gave a soft "hum", and when he saw the note in his hand, he became annoyed again, and said angrily, "Tiannan is getting more and more careless about his affairs, why do you say such ambiguous words? It's disgusting!"

The concubine discussing politics remained silent, and said in a low voice: "In such a short time, how carefully can Tiannan investigate? He is just a concubine of the emperor, and he is not very favored by His Majesty, and he is not too free in the palace! Besides, he It's your adoptive son again, can His Majesty keep on guard against him!"

"Huh?" The King of Political Affairs became angry and stared at her: "What did you say?"

Princess Yizheng couldn't help being startled, she held the veil in her hand and stroked her chest, leaned her body and glanced at him cautiously, not daring to speak any more.

"Okay, you're tired today, rest! I still have something to do, so I won't talk to you!" The King of Political Affairs felt bored, so he got up and walked away.

Although he was furious after being poked at the pain by his own princess, he had to admit that what she said was indeed somewhat reasonable, and he still had doubts in his heart. He had to go back and think about how to force Xianglin and Aunt Su to reveal their secrets tomorrow. Sigh: It's a pity that Mr. Feng didn't follow, alas!
"Yes, concubine concubine to send off the prince!" Princess Yizheng also hurriedly got up, bowed to her husband, and watched his figure disappear into the courtyard. She let out a long sigh of relief, sat down on the chair with a sullen face, and shouted out angrily. Said: "Hurry up and pour tea, dead hoofs, where are they all dead!"

The next day, King Yizheng went to the Lishui Palace to ask for an audience again. This time, he saved his excuses and held a memorial in his hand that Zhai Fengcheng sent five hundred li in a hurry. He dismissed the guards at the gate of the palace and went straight in Just rushing in, with a gloomy face, he rushed inside with all his might, intending to give Xianglin and the others a lightning-fast attack, and let's see how they parry.

Unexpectedly, before he rushed to Yuhua Palace with his entourage, he bumped into King Li Jun who was coming out from Yuhua Palace.Although he looked down on Prince Li who was timid and fearful, and only knew how to protect himself wisely, but after all, his surname was Gu, he was a member of the royal family, and Gu Qinghua had already pardoned the crimes of all branches of the Gu clan, and the status of the Gu clan had greatly improved. The Lijun King of the Zongren Mansion's Zongling was naturally also honored.
