Chapter 400: White Frost Weeping Branches
Qiu Zhi walked to the candle flame and carefully looked at the red begonia flowers, "It should be good, what my subordinates saw that day was a painting of the bright moon rising from the sea, and the waves held up a bright moon, which happened under everyone's noses, it was really magical." ”
Xuan Niang sighed, "I took a closer look, and there is a '翯' character embroidered next to the inner button of the corset, which is indeed used by the prince, but I don't know how the juggler came into contact with the prince's corset." ”
Qiu Zhi looked at Lin Yiren, "I heard that this kind of illusion needs to be prepared for some hours, and it can't be completed in a hurry, so it seems that someone in the mansion is the internal response of the juggler." ”
"Not necessarily," Lin Yiren looked at the candle flame quietly, "Maybe Lin Jianzhi wants you and me to guess like this, so as to make the chickens and dogs in the palace restless." ”
"Could it be that when customizing the prince's clothes, the embroidery girl in the show shop moved her hands and feet on the corset?" Xuan Niang said, and immediately shook her head again, "No, this corset was customized last year, and at that time, the matter of the eldest princess of Wulan Qi coming to Xiao'an was not yet visible." ”
"In the past month, have you ever walked around with Xiufang?" Qiu Zhi said.
"Nope. Xuan Niang said, "But because the New Year is coming, a few days ago, the steward of the show workshop sent some filial embroidery as usual, and it was estimated that it would take half a pillar of incense." ”
"Embroidery?" Lin Yiren and Qiu Zhi glanced at each other.
"In addition to the handkerchiefs that the prince must change every season, there are also some purses and sachets that the girls like, and there are no other objects. Xuan Niang said.
"Has the housekeeper of the show ever entered the room where the prince's clothes are kept?" Qiu Zhi said.
"What do you mean......" Xuanniang hesitated.
"The prince's clothes are customized in one place all the year round, and for Xiufang, it is easy to make a corset that is exactly the same as that on the prince's body. Qiu Zhi said.
"You mean, maybe the juggler didn't do it on the spot, but asked Xiufang to make the same corset as the prince a year ago in advance, and then let the showfang steward take advantage of the unpreparedness and replace the corset in the house?" Xuan Niang said.
"Not bad. Qiu Zhi bowed his head, and then said to Lin Yi, "Lord Wang, tomorrow my subordinates will send someone to check the steward of that show, as for the palace maid who spilled the wine on the prince, I am afraid that I need to invite Concubine Qin to ......."
"There's no need to check," Lin Yiren waved his hand, "Since Lin Jianzhi's people made this move, they must have a foolproof strategy to protect the prince's mansion, the key to this matter lies in the five princes, as long as they can manage to promote the marriage of the five princes and the eldest princess, Lin Jianzhi and Yuan Muhuai's wishful thinking will naturally fail." ”
"The subordinates are dull, please make it clear. Qiu Zhi bowed.
"Go find someone," Lin Yiren walked towards the back room, "find a juggler who can make the begonias bloom in the winter." ”
The next day, the wind and clouds were tight, the hoarfrost was weeping, and the dream of the king of Linyi and the princess of the court of the Muyuan king, Wu Lanqi, soon spread in Xiao'an City, and at the same time, the fire in the post house where Wu Lanqi lived was reported to the court at night.
"Your Majesty," the official servant Lang Wu Tongshun listened, and immediately became a little anxious, "The dream of King Zhen and the eldest princess is certainly a good story, but the fire in the Shangyuan Festival Post House is really unlucky, with the customs of the country, the king of the country seems to be restrained with the eldest princess, in case the eldest princess marries into the palace of the king in the future, what are the three long and two short, the kingdom of Zhen and the royal court of the herdsman are not going to meet each other?"
"Three long and two short, what nonsense are you talking about!" Lin Qitan was immediately displeased.
"Weichen was speechless," Wu Tongxun said in a hurry, "But the emperor, is it still such a reason?"
"Song Yu, what do you think?" Lin Qitan rubbed the corners of his forehead.
"It is about the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and according to Weichen, it is still the first place to be safe. "Song Yudao, the secretary of the military department.
"That blossoming and blossoming thing happened to the Yiren, if I get in the way, I'm afraid that the Yiren will hold a grudge against me. Lin said.
"Your Majesty," Song Yu bowed, "The royal marriage is related to the safety of the whole country, and King Hui should naturally understand which is more important, and besides, King Hui should have married Princess Lan Yin after the spring, and if he occupies another princess of the court of the Pastoral Garden, I am afraid it will be inappropriate." ”
"What I said is," Wu Tongxun echoed, "Bai Xian died in the hands of Ri Moshu, Bai Yuqian and Wu Lanqi have a grudge against their father, it can be said that water and fire are incompatible, how can they coexist under the same roof? ”
"Reasonable. Lin Qitan bowed slightly, and said to Wu Huan, "Go and tell the queen and Qin Guifei that I have been less concerned about the affairs of the Bai Mansion recently, and since Bai Yuqian is going to marry into the Xuan Wangfu after the spring, the two of them will have to think more about the rest of the matter." ”
"Yes. Wu Huansheng bowed and retreated.
In this compartment, the marriage between Lin Yiren and Wu Lanqi has ended in the words of Lin Yitan and the important ministers, but in that compartment, Lin Ziyan had a fierce quarrel with Gu Liuying for the first time.
The reason for the incident is that after Lin Ziyan let off fireworks in the palace last night, he went to the wine shop outside the palace to drink all night, and early this morning, he ran into Tongxi Hall drunk, saying that he came to ask Gu Liuying for peace. Seeing that Lin Ziyan was untidy and talking nonsense, Gu Liuying couldn't help but say a few more words. Unexpectedly, Lin Ziyan, who has always been respectful and filial, seemed to be touched and sad, not only accusing Gu Liuying of only having Lin Yiren in his heart, but also saying that in the Zhesheng Hall last night, if Gu Liuying and Lin Yiren had not joined forces to deceive, there would never have been a strange situation of begonia flowers blooming.
This matter is related to the charge of bullying the king, Gu Liuying was furious, and immediately gave Lin Ziyan a slap.
Lin Ziyan was young and vigorous, how could he stand such grievances, and immediately said that he would no longer recognize Gu Liuying as his mother, nor would he call Lin Yiren his brother, so he threw off his sleeves and shed tears, leaving only a mess in Tongxi Palace.
It was only at this time that Gu Liuying faintly felt heartache, it turned out that even if she was just using it, she had a different family affection for Lin Ziyan over the years.
When Wu Huansheng came to Tongxi Palace, what he saw was the scene of Gu Liuying's decadence, and after conveying Lin Qitan's oracle about marrying Bai Yuyan in the palace of King Xuan, Wu Huansheng shook off the dust and added one more sentence.
"Concubine Qin, just outside the palace, the slave not only met the five princes, but also met the king of Xuan. ”
"Yiren?" Gu Liuying's willow eyebrows frowned, "He ......"
"I'm afraid that the fifth prince has said something unpleasant, but this is not the ...... Didn't come in. Wu Huansheng said in a low voice.
"What does Gonggong Wu think of last night's incident?" Gu Liuying said.
"Concubine Qin laughed, where can those of us who are slaves see this clearly?" Wu Hansheng paused, "However, if the fifth prince and Concubine Qin have such a quarrel today, someone will always feel happy, right?"
"Your heart is like a mirror, I'm afraid that the emperor will be too thoughtful. Gu Liuying sighed.
"Actually, as long as Princess Lan Yin successfully marries into the palace of King Xuan, where will the emperor have any doubts, but ......" Wu Huansheng looked at Gu Liuying carefully, "It is rumored that when the white girl is robbed, I am afraid it will ......"
"Xiang'er," Gu Liuying's jaw raised slightly, "serve tea to Gonggong Wu." ”
"Yes. Xiang'er Yingying took a cup and poured tea for Wu Huansheng.
"Alas, alas, this ...... This is tormenting the slaves!" Wu Huansheng bowed in fear.
"Father-in-law Wu, if you have something to say, it's okay to say it. Gu Liuying said.
"It is rumored that when the white girl was robbed, I am afraid that she will ...... I'm afraid my innocence will be lost. Wu Huan said.
Smack! The cup in Gu Liuying's hand fell.
