The eighteenth meeting of the Zhengyang Hall for the first time left guests to drink and pour out their hearts
After the New Year, the palace is surrounded by a strong smell of firecrackers. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ infoThe whistling north wind, mixed with the coolness of the winter, blew away all the past events in the ordinary world. Another year has passed, and Wan Ning has been in the palace for four years since she counted this day.
Four years, four whole years. All of them were spent in this gorgeous palace, which made Wanning sometimes a little breathless. For example, today, when she was holding the boiled rice wine, she had just walked into the Zhengyang Palace. I saw Jiang Lingyan on the side.
At that time, Jiang Lingyan was wearing a gorgeous red robe. Then he sat on the soft couch and played Go with Jun Hao. At that moment, Wanning's head was blank. Her hand holding the rice wine was also trembling slightly.
Angry? Eat one's heart out? Or is she really too careful? She didn't want to know, and she didn't want to know. I just saw Jun Hao's smiling eyes, so sweet. It seems that after returning from the restoration of the country, Wan Ning has never seen Jun Hao's smile again, this is the first time.
"Your Majesty, it's good to drink the rice wine while it's hot," Wan Ning put the rice wine on the table, and then reminded softly. But Jun Hao didn't seem to hear it, he just waved his hand at Wanning, meaning that Wanning should put it down. Seeing Jun Hao continue to play chess, Wan Ning had no choice but to retreat.
When she came to the corridor, a cold wind blew. Blowing Wanning's thoughts a little messy, she thought back to the scene just now. There was a nameless fire in my heart, how to say that I had to deal with the draft together. Jiang Lingyan is, but it is so.
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she secretly clenched her fists. With five fingers, he slammed into the snow on the railing. The snow quickly melted, and a layer of flesh was worn out on her joints. The freezing chill mixed with it made her feel even more upset.
Thinking back to the time of Chinese New Year's Eve, I accompanied Jun Hao to keep the New Year together. At that time, it was as if I had gone back four years. The same snow, the same fireworks. and the gentleman who accompanies him, the comfortable heart. Could it be that Jiang Lingyan saw it.
Otherwise, how could Jiang Lingyan suddenly walk so close to Jun Hao? She has been in Changchun Palace for the past few days, and she can't arouse Jun Hao's suspicion. But why did you just say that this son actually ran to the Zhengyang Palace?
On the dry branches, a thin layer of snow accumulated. Against the backdrop of the deep night, Wanning's heart felt extremely painful. If it was placed in the past, she would definitely feel that Jun Hao was Xiao Yihan. It's just that since when did you start to have a heart for Jun Hao.
She stood alone on the eaves of the porch, watching the snow fall in the sky. I remembered the heavy snowfall four years ago, and the snowflakes were flying in the air. It's like catkins in spring, and it's like tiny grains of rice. She wanted to leave, but she couldn't, she was a maid.
No matter what Jun Hao does, Wanning has to stay by his side. Although she couldn't get used to Jiang Lingyan's expression, she still stood on the eaves of the porch. I don't know how long it took, but I heard Wang Lianying's long voice inside: "Zhaoyi Niangniang drove back to the palace-"
When Jiang Lingyan's gorgeous dress flashed in front of her eyes. She bowed her head politely, and said very reluctantly: "Congratulations to send Niang Niang back to the palace." "The rice wine you boiled is really delicious," Jiang Lingyan said softly, "The emperor is still waiting for the rice wine, you should go quickly." β
What the? The rice wine that she had worked so hard to boil was actually drunk by Jiang Lingyan? Wan Ning suddenly raised her head and looked at Jiang Lingyan's smug smile. I couldn't hold back the anger in my heart anymore: "Niangniang, do you know how much effort did that bowl of rice wine cost the slave maid?" β
"Are you provoking?" Jiang Lingyan didn't want to be entangled too much, but she didn't expect Wanning to take the preemptive action, "If you said that you would sit in the same boat, you actually took the place of the palace and followed the emperor to keep the New Year!" What do you mean? You know, you're just a maid! β
In the morning, the weather was still overcast. In mid-air, it was still snowing like cotton wool. The surroundings were very quiet, and you could hear the sound of the palace maids sweeping the courtyard. So at the small path, you can see that the snow has been swept into a pile.
The birds on the branches chirped non-stop. It was easy to re-boil the rice wine last night, who knew that Jun Hao actually waved his hand and said impatiently: "Where have you been?" Why don't you even have a bed made? How do you want me to rest......"
Listening to Jun Hao's scolding, Wanning's heart was very uncomfortable. She hurriedly put down the rice wine, and then went to make the bed, and said to Jun Hao: "Your Majesty, drink a bowl of rice wine to warm up your body first, the bed on the slave's side will be made soon!" β
But I don't know what happened to Jun Hao at that time, he inexplicably started a fire: "That's it!" I'm going to sleep in the study! With that, he brushed his sleeves and left. Leaving a night of warm rice wine alone, leaving Wanning alone and alone.
Is Wanning's movements a little slower, or Jun Hao's temper is a little weird. In short, last night, Wanning was holding her breath. After closing his eyes for a moment, he heard the bell ring. She hurriedly opened her eyes and prepared the dragon robe crown belt for Jun Hao.
When she gently dressed Jun Hao in the dragon robe and tied the jade belt around his waist for him. was suddenly taken into her arms by Jun Hao, and her heart trembled suddenly. She didn't know where to put her hands, she could even feel Jun Hao's deep eyes.
"Look at me!" He said in a commanding tone, "Is there something that is being hidden from me?" His questioning made Wan Ning panic for a moment, whether he had discovered something. Or Jiang Lingyan said it last night.
No, even if Jiang Lingyan says it. Jun Hao will not doubt himself, after all, it is common for harem concubines to be jealous, not to mention that only Jiang Lingyan can do it at present. I'm just a little maid, how can I have such a big ability.
Thinking like this, Wanning's heart settled down a little. She raised her head, looked at Jun Hao's sharp eyes, and asked softly, "The emperor's temper has become bigger and bigger recently. Ning Er was just scared, when will the emperor drive Ning Er out of the palace......"
The words that came out casually made Jun Hao smile slightly: "I thought that you would follow him." Now it seems that I am overhearted. He gently stroked the scar on Wanning's cheek, as if he could touch the real pain in Wanning's heart.
It turned out that the letter Jun Hao sent to Wan Ning last time was actually Xiao Yihan saying that he wanted to take Wan Ning away. Jun Hao thought that Wan Ning must be thinking about leaving the palace, so she often went to Changchun Palace. It's just that Jun Hao didn't expect that Wan Ning didn't read the letter.
Wan Ning was startled, what she was worried about was different from what Jun Hao said. She could finally put her mind at ease and snuggle up in Jun Hao's arms. It feels very warm and intimate, and a Jiang Lingyan is nothing. What if you're a maid?
Wanning has gone through a lot of winds and waves, and naturally understands many truths. If you want to gain a foothold in the palace, you must start first. For example, a few days ago, she actually inadvertently gave Jiang Lingyan an excuse for jealousy.
When watching Jun Hao walk towards the court, Wanning's heart was a little sweeter. She thought that it was time to visit Jiang Lingyan in Changchun Palace. Didn't she say that she was "provocative" last night, well, if she wants revenge, it can be a warm-up.
So from that time on, Wanning changed, so much so that she didn't even know herself. In the diamond glasses, her face is no longer there. Jiang Lingyan took everything from herself, and she had to take it back. Even in the end, there are many misunderstandings.
The slanting sun in the afternoon hangs lazily on the mountain. It seems to be about to spread the last trace of afterglow on the earthly world, flowing on the Ganges River. With the ripples rippling, the subtle colors are shaking. A little bit of color in this winter day looks extremely sad at the moment.
At this time, it is the beginning of the first month, and there are less than four months before the spring flowers bloom and kiss. Yuzhen is very worried, if she really can't find the princess, then she will really have to marry on her behalf. In fact, she is not afraid of marrying on behalf of her, but afraid of being found out by Donglu.
If that time really comes, Donglu and Chen Guo will definitely fight again, and it is naturally the common people who will suffer. Yuzhen's heart has thought a lot, and she has been pretending to be a princess to shuttle through the people these days. In fact, it is just thinking about not letting the people have doubts.
Otherwise, if the government and the opposition know the news of the princess's disappearance, it will definitely cause a burst of discussion. If it reaches the eastern foothills, I don't know how much trouble it will go. But fortunately, with Xiao Yihan by her side this time, Yuzhen has more confidence in finding the princess.
The two men each rode their horses to the place where the princess had disappeared. It was near the Ganges, where the reeds were overgrown. A quiet, empty blue sky makes people reverie infinitely. The familiar scene, Xiao Yihan recognized it at once.
Many days ago, he had crossed the Ganges from here to Yangcheng, the capital of the Chen Kingdom. I didn't expect him to come here again after many days. Yuzhen said that the princess disappeared here. It should be, look for it here.
But it was flat, and only the Ganges River surrounded a mountain. To the west, there are small villages dotted around. The "Liukeyin" tea house that once passed by stood alone on the side of the road. Such a scene reminded Xiao Yihan of the Yuchi family in the desert.
The same purity, the same calm. The faint fragrance of camellia flowers spread in the air, making Xiao Yihan unconsciously think of gardenias in spring. White and flawless, like a jade carving. If the princess is missing here, then there will definitely be a clue to the stay.
When Xiao Yihan came to stay for a drink again, the boss rushed to greet him with a smile. Who knew that when he saw Yuzhen behind him, his face suddenly changed. The teapot in his hand almost shattered to the ground. Such a slight move was taken into Xiao Yihan's eyes.
"In August, did a woman come here?" Xiao Yihan went straight to the point, and this question made the boss tremble with fright. He simply knelt on his knees, shook his head in horror and said, "Childe spares his life, Childe spares his lifeβ"
Xiao Yihan saw the boss's actions and knew that there was something else hidden in it. Otherwise, how could the boss admit his mistake to himself, he must be a thief. Otherwise, how could it be, such a look. Xiao Yihan saw it and didn't ask much. I simply sat down slowly and asked questions.
He said softly, "Since you know what I mean, you should make it clear." I saw that the boss said it tremblingly, probably because he was afraid, and the simple reason was also surrounded by the clouds he explained. But in the end, Xiao Yihan still figured out the reason.
It turned out that someone deliberately instigated the relationship between Donglu and Chen Guo, and secretly asked the boss to kidnap the princess. Then it caused panic in Chen Guo, and the matter of peace with Donglu also came to naught. It's time for the two countries to go to war, and naturally someone will benefit from it.
I heard that this was the reason, and I didn't wait for Xiao Yihan to ask. Yuzhen couldn't hold back anymore beside her, stepped forward and grabbed the boss's clothes, and asked anxiously and angrily, "Say!" Where did you hide the princess? Tell me - who is behind the scenes-"
It's just that no matter how Yuzhen asked, the boss just shook his head again and again. kept kowtowing on the ground to admit his mistakes, so it seems that he really doesn't know. When Yuzhen was angry, she said viciously: "Go, follow me to see the king!" You have to tell the truth before you ......."
The twilight gradually darkened, and there was a faint chill in the air. The smoke of each family's cooking house curls up from the mountain, looking at it like a fairyland. At this time, it was getting late, so Xiao Yihan and Yuzhen stayed overnight in the Liuke Tea House.
In August last year, the owner of the Liuke Tea House was cooking tea. Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed, followed by a sharp blade across his neck. The bluffing boss broke out in a cold sweat, but when he saw the black shadow throw down a bag of gold, he whispered: "Catch the princess, these are all yours!" β
The usual guest drinks are all small business, and this time they were held hostage by unknown people out of thin air. The boss was naturally horrified, and he was reluctant to agree. But the black shadow sneered: "Now the princess is in the front hall, and her tea has seven medicinal incense, which can make people deaf in both ears......"
Hearing the news, the boss was stunned. He never thought that the princess would be here, let alone what "seven medicinal incense" would be laid down by the black shadow! At that time, his mind was chaotic. If he doesn't agree to the dark shadow, then the blame for assassinating the princess will be placed on him.
In desperation, he had no choice but to nod and agree. Since then, the princess has lived in the backyard. In fact, the princess was deaf in both ears and could not hear anyone coming. The boss also treats her as his daughter and takes good care of her. Thinking about it, find an opportunity to enter the palace to explain the situation.
"What does that dark shadow look like?" Yuzhen listened to the boss's words, and her heart was angry and hateful. At that time, she and the princess went out to play, and when she went to fetch water and came back, the princess was held hostage. Yuzhen hates herself so much, why don't you look at the princess well.
It was a very hot August day. The cicadas screamed desperately on the branches, but Yuzhen was driven out of the palace to find the princess. The streets and alleys, ordinary alleys, but there is no princess. Yuzhen had no choice but to pretend to be a princess and prepare to marry on her behalf.
It turned out that the princess was staying in the tea house, and she was deaf in both ears. No wonder, no wonder Yuzhen couldn't find it. When she looked at the princess's haggard face in the past, she felt guilty for a while. Now the princess is deaf in both ears, how can she go back to the palace.
What she said, the princess could not hear at all. Yuzhen stroked the princess's shoulder and sighed anxiously. Xiao Yihan, who was on the side, looked at it and didn't think about it for a long time. The "Seven Medicinal Incense" lingered in his mind, and now the only person who has the Seven Medicinal Incense is Jiang Lingyan.
It's just that Jiang Lingyan is far away in Kyoto, how could she send a killer to Chen Guo. What kind of princess is hijacked, is it to become a queen, so she will secretly poison her in advance? It won't be like this, if you use this to become a queen, wouldn't it be provoking a war between the two countries.
In this way, Jiang Lingyan's position as queen will not last long. According to Jiang Lingyan's personality, she wouldn't do this. Now that it is easy to settle down in the eastern foothills, how could Jiang Lingyan repeat the mistakes of the past. Could it be that the palace coup a year ago was not costly enough?
What's more, when Xiao Yihan left Kyoto, Jiang Lingyan was planning the draft with Wan Ning. I won't have any thoughts to send someone to kidnap the princess. According to this line of thought, someone must have made a hindrance from it, pretending to be Jiang Lingyan's name.
"Can you let me see the gold he gave you?" Xiao Yihan knew that in such a small place as staying guests, the boss would not make a lot of money. It will be kept, or it will be suspicious. The soft cloth wrapped in gold is a unique embroidered soft cloth in the eastern foothills.
And the ingot of gold, with tiny characters engraved on the back. Xiao Yihan asked for pen and ink to print on the paper, which was a row of small handwriting: the treasury of the military department. The Treasury of the Ministry of War? In Xiao Yihan's mind, a person suddenly flashed: Wang Qibo - the secretary of the military department at the eastern foothills!
Wang Qibo's wife and children were all killed by the Liu family. He promised to return to the country for revenge, and he was awarded the title of military secretary by the imperial court. How could it be that all of a sudden, they wanted to provoke a war. Unless there is one condition, that is, Jun Hao let Liu Ziyu go and failed to avenge him. He was unwilling, so he used Jiang Lingyan's hand to kidnap the princess.
