196 Fish and Bear's Paws

Huang Yan's calculations were vicious enough, almost flawless, and forced Xu Miaoyi to a dead end.

But Zhu Di's affection immediately solved the first problem, and Xu Miaoyi chose to openly mention the death of the county lord of Yong'an with the "snowman" who was obsessed with the door.

Zhu Di said very simply, "No, I haven't done this kind of thing, it's Huang Yan who deliberately separates you and me." My task at that time was only to try to keep the imperial heir, who was the daughter of my father, and was not under my control. ”

In fact, although Emperor Hongwu is partial to the prince, his fatherly love for other sons is not small, and the secret execution of mothers is detrimental to yin morality, and it is enough to hand it over to the eunuchs and female officials, and it is not worth dirtying the hands of his sons.

Knowing that it had nothing to do with Zhu Di, Xu Miaoyi put down a big stone in her heart, the next day was Wang Ning's birthday, the princess's mansion was full of friends, Hu Shanwei was ordered to go out of the palace to send congratulatory gifts, Xu Miaoyi took the opportunity to pull her childhood friend to catch up.

In the middle of winter, the warm pavilion is like a paradise, surrounded by transparent crystals, and the snow-capped silver world is like a giant painting that surrounds it, and you can enjoy the snow scene without leaving home.

Two palace maids came in carrying a steaming basket of soup dumplings, and the moment the door opened, the "Dream of Nanke" sung on the stage floated in with the aroma of the soup dumplings.

The story of Nan Ke is about the protagonist who dreams of marrying a princess, becomes a high-ranking official, and lives happily, and later loses in the power struggle, and when he wakes up, he finds that Nan Ke has a dream, and then realizes the story of becoming a Buddha.

“…… Ziyilang walks at the foot of Manan Mountain, and the mountain is picturesque. The princess is soft and good, and the horse official is chic. I'm here to groom. ”

Xu Miaoyi ate a soup dumpling and said in surprise: "This soup dumpling tastes so familiar, it tastes exactly the same as the old shop in Suzhou, you can taste it." ”

"I've been fasting with the queen for the past few days, I can't touch the meat, you can eat it yourself." Hu Shanwei made an excuse and drank warm rice wine, "Your tongue is smart enough, it is the store in Fengqiao, Suzhou, Princess Huaiqing heard that Wang Ning likes to eat this, and specially invited the chef of this store to make a birthday banquet." ”

Xu Miaoyi ate another soup dumpling, her cheeks bulging high, "Princess Huaiqing is really interested in Wang Ning." ”

On the stage, Nan Ke Taishou married a princess, became a concubine, prosperous official luck, and was proud of the spring breeze, Hu Shanwei seemed to see a god, and muttered: "Women in the world, who can compare to the proud women of the sky, the concubine is blessed." ”

Xu Miaoyi knew that Hu Shanwei had subtle feelings for Wang Ning, so she stopped mentioning this matter and clarified her intention this time, "Do you remember the county lord of Yong'an in the middle of the lake?" Someone told me that the county lord died of a postpartum blood collapse, not because I was not good at medicine, but because someone changed the medicine jar and replaced the medicine to stop bleeding with the medicine to invigorate the blood. ”

Xu Miaoyi, Hu Shanwei, Wang Ning, these three small people in Suzhou have entered Beijing, and their identities are no longer what they used to be, Hu Shanwei has been trained in the court, and he is used to seeing calculations, and he has long been unfazed, and the death of the county lord of Yong'an is not a big deal for her.

Even Xu Miaoyi bluntly doubted her, Hu Shanwei didn't feel wronged, she talked and laughed freely, and said: "I'm very happy that you ask me directly like this, at least it shows that you still treat me as a friend." That 'someone' is Huang Yan, right? This old thief has had an accident recently, he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and his disciples and grandchildren have also disappeared mysteriously, and there are no bones left, and it seems that something terrible is on the table. ”

Xu Miaoyi acquiesced.

Hu Shanwei drank rice wine, "You and King Yan have to think about it clearly, it's too late to regret it now." Once you marry into the royal family, many things are at your mercy. The power trade-offs and intrigues are far more complicated than you might think. Whether the county lord of Yong'an is alive or dead, it is not your turn to care, and it is not your turn to sympathize. ”

Xu Miaoyi was stunned, "But you were clearly sympathetic to her before." ”

Hu Shanwei said: "It was before, now it is now, people will change, if I have been the previous Hu Shanwei, I don't know how many times I have died." ”

"You are a person who is open-minded and open-minded on the surface, can see everything, and can bear any result, but in fact, there is a dead hole in your heart that is as fragile as a crystal, which will shatter when touched, and it is easy to hurt yourself and retreat. In the future, as Princess Yan, you will face a reality that is a hundred times more cruel than the unjust death of the county lord of Yong'an, I am worried that you will be unbearable in the future, and you can't even accept the death of the county lord of Yong'an, how can you face the royal strife? ”

Xu Miaoyi said: "With him and me to face it, I am not afraid, the soldiers will come to block, and the water will cover the earth." ”

Hu Shanwei shook his head helplessly, "You, you have been this character since you were a child, and no one can persuade you to go all the way to the dark." Let's tell you the truth, in fact, the county lord of Yong'an didn't live long, the city of Suzhou was broken, the Eastern Wu destroyed the country, Zhang Shicheng, the king of Wu, died in battle, and the day the county horse was martyred, she actually died. ”

"The small building in the middle of the lake is a tomb of the living dead, and the emperor favors her, not because he likes her, but because he hates her father Zhang Shicheng."

Xu Miaoyi felt cold on the soles of her feet, "Since you don't like her, why do you want her to conceive an heir." ”

Hu Shanwei said lightly: "What's so strange about this? The concubine in the palace used to be Chen Youliang's favorite concubine, didn't she give birth to two sons to the emperor, the emperor attaches great importance to the heirs, and believes that there are many sons and more blessings. ”

Hu Shanwei pointed to the soup dumplings on the table and said, "The lord of Yong'an is this steamer, the emperor wants soup dumplings, and when the soup dumplings are steamed, the steamer will be discarded." ”

Xu Miaoyi said: "The county lord of Yong'an is a living person, she has feelings, knows pain, and is not an object. ”

Hu Shanwei said: "On the wall of the Lantern Festival that year, the emperor and queen were chased and killed by the remnants of Zhang Shicheng, just by virtue of this, the county lord of Yong'an can't live, have you forgotten?" Back then, you saved the emperor and queen with King Yan, if you really investigate the murderer of the county lord of Yong'an, you are also one of them! ”

"The so-called family and country are the world, the world is the first, the country is second, and the family is accompanied by the last, and the private friendship between you and the county lord of Yong'an is not vulnerable at all when it comes to the interests of the country. I can't figure it out, what should you be Princess Yan? Let's honestly find a petty officer to marry. ”

Hu Shanwei has a generous temperament, cautious words and deeds, even for the lowest little palace maid in the palace, the little chamberlain will not speak mean words, today's words are like knives, Xu Miaoyi's body is incomplete, firstly, it is to persuade Miaoyi to turn back to the shore and give up King Yan, and secondly, she saw that Wang Ning and Princess Huaiqing had a deep relationship with each other, and her heart was a little sour.

Xu Miaoyi touched a nose of ash here in Hu Shanwei, and was devastated, looking at the snow scene on the Luohan bed in a daze, with a powerless and decadent look.

Hu Shanwei was a little unbearable, "I was still young in seniority that year, and this kind of task couldn't fall on my head, it was done by another female officer, but when I counted the medicine jars in the warehouse, I found clues, and there was a commonly used medicine jar missing." The lady warned me not to be nosy, and I knew that the lord of Yong'an had died. ”

"I didn't tell you at the time because I was afraid that you would get into trouble. Now to tell you bluntly, it is also for your own good, to remind you that the court is sinister, the road ahead is bumpy, and you have to become cold and powerful. ”

The sound of silk and bamboo in Nan Kemeng on the stage was endless, and Hu Shanwei hummed along with the rhythm: "Kick Guanghua, the city is a ...... Ruiyan is slightly fragrant and harmonious, and the red clouds are thousands of flowers, what is not smiling? The eyebrows that I saw were wrinkled, and I poured it full of clear light, a cup of fragrant glutinous. ”

After singing a song, Hu Shanwei drank the rice wine in the cup, and his eyebrows were full of relief, Wang Ning has a good wife and a good child, what else can I not let go?

You have your Yangguan Road, and I also have my Qingyun Road.

Xu Miaoyi looked at the overwhelming snow outside the warm pavilion, in the middle of winter, everything was hidden, and no one was spared, only the flowers in the glass flower room went against the sky and were still open.

In fact, to become Princess Yan, it is not necessary to choose ruthlessness as Hu Shanwei said, but to become doubly powerful, just like building a glass flower house of love and protection, so that you can protect yourself, protect the people you love, and protect a little kindness in your heart.

is like the death of the county lord of Yong'an, even if she stopped the female official from changing medicinal materials in time and saved the county lord of Yong'an once, she couldn't save the second time, the third time...... Because she's too weak.

Xu Miaoyi jumped out of the first trap with the help of love and friendship, and the second level has arrived.

The tablet of Zhu Shouqian's parents is enshrined in the Jiming Temple, and the emperor does not allow his parents' coffins to enter the imperial tomb, but he is not forbidden to worship his parents in the Jiming Temple.

Zhu Shouqian came to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the monk has cleared the pilgrims early, the Buddha Buddha is solemn, one finger to the sky, one finger to the ground, on both sides is the statue of the eighteen Arhats, plated with gold bodies, the hall is solemn and solemn, the eyes of the Buddha and the Arhats are compassionate, staring at the common people.

Zhu Shouqian wore a fox fur, looked at Shakyamuni in the center of the hall with his hands, and slowly knelt on the futon, kowtowed to the incense piously, folded his hands, and said: "I can't count the number of times I have been here, I ask my parents to rest in peace, and I ask my cousin to turn evil into good fortune, but I have never asked for anything for myself in front of the Buddha." ”

Zhu Shouqian laughed at himself, "Because I am self-aware and self-aware, I can live peacefully until now, and I am blessed by the Buddha, and I dare not be greedy for anything more." I still don't make any wishes for myself today, Buddha, if you are free, bless my cousin with a safe life. ”

Zhu Shouqian flipped through the futons one by one, found the wooden fish mark that Xiao Hachi said, hesitated for a moment, used a knife to break the stitches, and a robe sleeve embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon fell out of the futon......

Baihetang Pharmacy, Zhu Shouqian took out two dishes from the food box, both of which are rare delicacies in the world, shark fin on the left, bear paw on the right, one white and one black, which is particularly eye-catching.

Xu Miaoyi was puzzled, "Cousin, ...... are you?"

Zhu Shouqian said: "You can't have both fish and bear's paws, which one do you want to choose?" ”

Since Zhu Shouqian knew the relationship between his cousin and Zhu Di, he has always been strongly opposed, and as long as they meet, he will persuade his cousin to let go, Xu Miaoyi understood what her cousin meant, and she must have been furious, forcing her to choose one between her cousin and Yan Wang.

Xu Miaoyi said: "Both."

Zhu Shouqian shook his head, "You can only choose one." ”

Xu Miaoyi said stubbornly: "I won't let go." ”

Zhu Shouqian put the shark fin in the food box, leaving only a plate of bear's paws, "Okay, I already know your choice." In the future, I only know that there is Princess Yan, but I don't know that there is a cousin. You and I are cut in two, don't go back and forth. 166 Reading Network
