Chapter 110: Misfortune and Blessing
Jing Yan finally turned his head, supported his neck with one hand, looked at Bai Li sideways, and said a little jokingly: "What a stupid girl, Chu Qing, tell me!" β
The young lady rarely showed such a cheerful appearance on weekdays, but now the sunlight outside the house shone right on her shoulders through the window, as if a pair of wings had been born. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Chu Qing thought for a while, and said word by word: "Slave guess, the old lady asked the young lady to go, there must be something, and this matter is not bad or not, there is a reward for doing well, and if you don't do it well, there may be danger." β
Bai Li listened to the front and was fine, but when he heard that there was danger in the back, he jumped up and shouted: "There is danger!" That's not done! β
Jing Yan really didn't hold back, and laughed out loud: "Chu Qing guessed right!" β
Bai Li became more and more puzzled: "Since there is danger, why is Miss so happy?" β
Jing Yan continued to look at Chu Qing, Chu Qing's eyes rolled, and then her mouth cracked: "That young lady is naturally sure of victory!" β
"Oh! I see! Bai Li suddenly realized, and then thought that he was so stupid, and his reaction was too slow, compared with the two people in front of him, he was really the stupidest one, and he couldn't help blushing, and lowered his head embarrassedly.
Jing Yan looked at the two of them with appreciation, suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed their palms, looked at the palms that were more immature than himself, and said slowly: "The two of you, one is smart and intelligent, and the other is kind and careful, both of whom are the dearest people given to me by God. Although I am ninety percent sure of this matter, I can't get rid of that one percent alone, so if something happens to me, you can go to Zhao's mother, I have agreed with her and help you settle down. β
Although it was dangerous, I didn't expect the young lady to settle down after her death, and she immediately panicked.
Bai Li suddenly knelt down and said in a lost voice: "Miss, no matter what, the slave will follow you!" Please don't say anything like that again! β
Chu Qing's lips pursed, and the hand holding Jing Yan became tighter and tighter.
"Miss......"
Jing Yan's expression was also dim for a moment, but soon, it disappeared, leaving only the almost translucent pupils in the sun, like a wave of autumn water.
"By the way, how is the second young master doing?"
Chu Qing wiped her tears and said, "The second young master stayed at home for a few days, and he really couldn't stay, so he went to the barracks, and kept scolding in front of the eldest young master's tent, and rested in the prince's mansion at night. In the past few days, I haven't bothered the eldest young master, and I'm very close to the prince. β
Chu Qing thought that after saying these words, Miss would at least have a response, but she didn't expect Miss to stare at the "Book of Heaven" at this moment, her eyes suddenly narrowed, and then the corners of her lips were raised, and she exclaimed: "I finally saw it!" β
It was an ancient book bought back from the bookstore, which depicted different pictures with ancient words, and few people in Shangyuan recognized it, it was a famous "book from heaven", but after the lady bought it, she looked at it day after day, and she couldn't turn it over, always staring at one of the pictures.
In fact, this so-called "Book from Heaven" is just a forgery made by later generations, so it is just a trick to make a profit.
Will Miss look at such a thing?
"Bai Li, change my clothes for me, Chu Qing, ask the housekeeper to prepare the horse, let's go to the post house!"
Soon, the royal carriage painted with the tiger's head mark stopped at the door of the post house, and before entering it, it was told that Princess Miruo and her entourage had gone to the prince's mansion.
Jing Yan frowned, she knew that things would happen quickly, but she didn't expect it to be so fast, when she ordered someone to turn around and run towards the prince's mansion.
The Prince's Mansion is not as good as other places, even if it is a person with a title like Jing Yan, if there is no post, he will not be able to enter. Chu Qing and Bai Li were a little worried, but Jing Yan had no worry on his face, and lowered his head as if thinking about something.
"Bai Li, what did the guards of the post house say?"
"That person, today the prince held a small banquet in the mansion and invited three or five friends, and Princess Miruo was also among them."
Jing Yan nodded and continued to close his eyes to recuperate. Chu Qing saw that she was so calm, and she didn't speak again, but she didn't know that Jing Yan was actually making a bet in her heart.
On the road still some distance from the prince's mansion, a saber guard stopped the carriage and knelt on one knee to respectfully ask the visitor.
The coachman replied truthfully: "It is the sedan chair of Mrs. Yujun, the general of Zhenguo." β
The guards looked at each other, clasped their fists and said, "May I ask if Madame has a post from my master, if not, please go back......"
"You ......" Bai Li wanted to defend but didn't know how to say it, and when she saw the bright knife on the other party's waist, she had to swallow all the words she wanted to say back to her stomach.
Bai Li looked at Jing Yan in a daze, but saw that she sat in the sedan chair as if she hadn't heard anything.
Today - she is wearing a light-colored satin dark pattern with a purple and purple cherry blossom pattern, and the lower body is a gold threaded plain gauze skirt, using the lightest material, hanging down in the sedan chair, and then matching the ivory white background sprinkled with flowers, it really looks more and more beautiful with that face.
She sat silently, the fresh flowers she wore above her head, still tinged with dew, and in the reflection of the sunlight they showed a delicate multi-colored beauty, more dazzling than any jewel.
"Madame, please go back!" Seeing that they had no intention of leaving, the guard urged again.
The coachman turned his head a little embarrassed, but seeing that there was still no response from the carriage, he could only stiffen his neck and stalemate with the guards.
"Madam, my subordinates advise you to leave as soon as possible, if you block the official road and hinder others, it will be difficult for your subordinates to explain to the prince!"
The guard began to get a little impatient, and stood up from the ground, and there was a hint of eviction in his tone.
Chu Qing said sharply: "Presumptuous! How dare you speak to my wife in such a tone! β
The guard said coldly: "The subordinates are just doing things according to orders!" β
"And what about my orders?"
A voice suddenly sounded behind him, Chu Qing and the guards turned their heads to look, but saw a luxurious carriage parked next to Jing Yan's car, the coachman respectfully lifted the curtain, and the guards immediately knelt down when they saw the man's face.
"My subordinates have seen His Royal Highness King Zhao, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World!"
It's the prince of Huaiwang! Chu Qing and Bai Li finally understood what Jing Yan was waiting for, and looked sideways at her, seeing that the corners of her mouth slowly raised an arc.
The coachman took out a scarlet post from the palanquin and handed it to the guard. The guard just glanced at it with his eyes, and immediately got out of the way: "Please invite His Royal Highness King Zhao and His Royal Highness the Prince to enter the mansion." β
King Zhao's carriage didn't move, but he walked out with a smile: "Tell me what is written on the post." β
When the guard heard this, he was a little confused, but the master's order could not be resisted, and immediately read out the clichΓ© on the post that invited someone to the house for a certain year and month.
Yu Wenzhao listened patiently and did not interrupt him, until he finished reading, and then spoke: "Is it written on the post to invite anyone?" β
"It was the master who invited His Royal Highness King Zhao."
King Zhao pursed his lips and smiled, pointed to the prince of Huai Wang in the sedan chair and said, "Then will you let him in?" β
King Zhao and Prince Huai usually appeared together, and the guard didn't think about it, and immediately said, "Naturally, I want His Highness to go in." β
"Why?"
"Because ......" The guard was puzzled by this inexplicable question, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "Because the prince of the world is with His Royal Highness." β
"That's right!" Yu Wenzhao nodded, eager to step forward and touch the guard's head, and then pointed to Jing Yan's sedan chair and said, "This Mrs. Yujun is also with us, should you also let her in?" β
"This ......" began to sweat on the guard's head.
"Could it be that a huge prince's mansion can't even enter a second-grade lady, right?" This sentence is more or less threatening.
The guard paused for a moment, and sure enough, let the carriage stop in the prince's mansion.
When Jing Yan walked out of the carriage, he immediately walked in front of Yu Wenzhao and saluted and thanked him.
Yuwenzhao laughed, waved his hand and said: "Don't thank me, thank him if you want to thank him, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have thought of such a cheeky way!" β
Qing Xuan was wearing a moon-white intertwined silk jacket on this day, his jet-black and shiny hair was tied up with a simple white jade crown, his body was straight, and his sculptural and deep contour face outlined a cold expression, but it was more dazzling than all the mortals in the world.
When he saw Jing Yan's gaze, he just nodded lightly, in the crowd, he was Yuwen Xuan, not Qing Xuan, but he couldn't hide the joy in his eyes.
When the butler in the prince's mansion saw the arrival of several of them, he immediately responded and took them to the flower hall.
The area of the Prince's Mansion is very vast, and in addition to the Imperial City, the largest in Pingjing City is the Prince's Mansion. But the decoration in the prince's mansion is extremely simple, which may show that the prince is a loyal and honest person who doesn't care about these external things.
Who would have thought that such a person would be fascinated by beauty.
Naturally, the men stayed in the front hall to feast and drink, while the women enjoyed the flowers and talked in the backyard. Jing Yan walked to the backyard under the leadership of the housekeeper, and saw a dazzling shadow dangling in front of him.
I don't think that the beauty in Pingjing that can be recognized at such a distance is none other than Princess Miruo of the Western Jin Dynasty.
She was still dressed in a glamorous and vulgar dress, with a trailing glamoured skirt under the begonia-colored satin pinched placket coat, which perfectly outlined the enviable figure, not to mention her upside-down face, just standing still there would be the focus of attention in the entire backyard.
Jing Yan sighed, such a beauty, who wouldn't love it, if it wasn't for the prince, it would also be other high-ranking and powerful men, if it weren't for the fact that the current saint has no intention of accepting new people, this beautiful princess Miruo will probably be a more favored concubine than Sheng Meiren.
Similarly, Miruo had already felt the gaze behind her, she turned her head, just in front of Jing Yan's beautiful and colorful face, waved at her without restraint, and walked in front of her step by step.
"You're here, Mrs. Yujun." Miruo's voice was beautiful, and when she laughed, her pink-tender face was even brighter.
Jing Yan smiled and said lightly: "If the princess wasn't here, why would Jing Yan have to be there?" β
Mi Ruo heard the meaning of Jing Yan's words, but she didn't care, but laughed: "Mrs. Yujun is really good at talking, I have visited me again and again before, but you haven't seen me, but now you have found the door, it's really ridiculous." β
