Chapter 146: Aware of it
Zhang Zhaoyi returned to the house and ordered the palace maid to serve her in the bath. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lying in the warm water, Zhang Zhaoyi closed her eyes slightly and thought about things.
It seems that he still overestimates his charm, Zhang Zhaoyi said in his heart.
She thought the time was ripe, but now it didn't seem to be the time.
Zhang Zhaoyi tapped the edge of the barrel with her left hand and pondered slowly.
The next day, after getting up in the morning, he said to the personal palace maid: "Go to Queen Jingzhuang to report it, and say that I will pass in two quarters of an hour." ”
This is the first time she has taken the initiative to visit Empress Jingzhuang since entering the palace.
Empress Jingzhuang was reading in the study, and was slightly stunned for a moment after hearing the news that Zhang Zhaoyi had come to visit.
She has always been indifferent to Zhang Zhaoyi, but she is the queen after all, and she is not afraid of a mere Zhaoyi, but she is naturally a little vigilant in her heart.
Zhang Zhaoyi came dressed up, and as soon as she entered the door, she gave a big salute to Queen Jingzhuang, and said sincerely: "The concubine has been in the palace for half a month, and now she has come to visit the queen. ”
Empress Jingzhuang smiled slightly, and said in a magnanimous tone: "Sister's words are serious, my sister has just entered the palace, and it is completely understandable that these things cannot be taken into account, sister, please get up." ”
Zhang Zhaoyi got up, sat down on the stool in front of Queen Jingzhuang, and then took out a small box from his pocket, and said: "This pigeon blood red agate was given to him by a local nobleman when the concubine's father went to Siam five years ago, and he later gave it to the concubine. ”
After all, pigeon blood red agate is a valuable thing, Zhang Zhaoyi is willing to give it to himself, and its intention has to be interesting.
Empress Jingzhuang pondered for a while before ordering Liu Ying to take the box.
Liu Ying immediately took it and opened it for Empress Jingzhuang to see.
Empress Jingzhuang raised her eyes to look over, but saw that this agate was about the size of a thumb, and the color was pure and bright, like a burning flame.
Obviously, this red agate is quite expensive.
"Zhang Zhaoyi doesn't have to give such an expensive thing." Empress Jingzhuang excused herself.
Although she was also a little moved after seeing this agate, she was not a greedy person after all, and she was also wary of Zhang Zhaoyi's intention to come to curry favor.
"The queen is too polite, the concubine is too young to deserve its charm, but the queen wears it just right, and the concubine is happy to see it meet the right owner."
Empress Jingzhuang thought for a while and said with a smile: "Then the palace will accept it." Then he leaned over and whispered something in Liu Ying's ear.
Liu Ying immediately took this box into the inner room, and when she leaned less, Liu Ying took out another box.
"This is a gift from this palace, do you like it or not?" Empress Jingzhuang personally handed her the box.
Empress Jingzhuang didn't want to owe her favors.
Zhang Zhaoyi thought for a moment before reaching out to take it.
Inside was a sapphire. The color of the gemstone is as blue as the waters of the deep sea, calm and mysterious, and the more you look at it, the more you feel like you have entered a dream country.
Zhang Zhaoyi also has a lot of research on jewelry, and she can see at a glance that the value of this sapphire is on par with Zhang Zhaoyi's pigeon's blood red agate.
Zhang Zhaoyi hurriedly excused himself.
Empress Jingzhuang insisted: "If you don't accept it, then the palace won't be able to accept your gifts." ”
Zhang Zhaoyi had no choice but to accept it.
Empress Jingzhuang smiled and said, "My sister drinks tea." ”
Zhang Zhaoyi smiled and took two sips of tea, then put down the teacup and said: "The concubine met the imperial concubine in the Baibao Pavilion in the imperial garden yesterday, and saw that she and the two palace maids were whispering something, and then the two palace maids went to the direction of King Jin's mansion. Zhang Zhaoyi said while paying attention to Empress Jingzhuang's expression.
Empress Jingzhuang said calmly: "Really? ”
A look of disapproval.
"The concubine saw it with her own eyes, and she can't fake it." Zhang Zhaoyi seemed to be loyal.
"The concubine heard that His Majesty has decreed that King Jin is not allowed to have contact with anyone in the outside world during his lockdown." Zhang Zhaoyi added with a smile.
Empress Jingzhuang only smiled silently.
Zhang Zhaoyi also said: "The concubine heard that the imperial concubine had broken the rules of the harem and left His Majesty in his residence for one night, which made the queen very sad and embarrassed. ”
"It's good that you have this awareness." Empress Jingzhuang said, and then smiled and said, "The palace is still a little busy, so I won't accompany my sister much." ”
Zhang Zhaoyi was slightly embarrassed, and hurriedly got up and said, "That concubine won't delay the queen's mother." With that, he hurriedly withdrew.
As soon as Zhang Zhaoyi left, Empress Jingzhuang asked Liu Ying: "Are you sure that there was no one from the imperial concubine outside King Jin's mansion yesterday?" ”
Since the beginning of last month, Empress Jingzhuang has sent people to secretly keep an eye on the movements inside and outside King Jin.
Liu Ying said with certainty: "Sure no, our people have been watching in turn." ”
Empress Jingzhuang closed her eyes.
This Zhang Zhaoyi actually came to her to tell right and wrong?
Empress Jingzhuang sneered and instructed Liu Ying: "In the future, when this Zhang Zhaoyi wants to visit the palace, he will always say that the palace is not available. ”
Liu Ying hurriedly responded: "Yes." ”
……………
In the evening, the prince sat in front of the window playing chess, and the princess served tea and water on the side.
The crown prince looked up and asked the crown princess: "Do you want to have a game with this palace?" ”
The crown princess hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Forget it." ”
The disparity in ability is too great, even if the prince always lets her, she can't last a few rounds.
The prince smiled, no longer reluctant.
Lin Frame hurriedly walked in.
Judging from Lin Frame's expression, it seems that there is something important to report.
The crown princess hurriedly retreated.
"Your Highness, Li Yuan's identity has been inquired." Lin Frame leaned closer to the prince and whispered.
The prince perked up and said, "You say." ”
Li Yuan is from Hepu, Beihai, Guangzhou, and his grandfather is the only one left in the family. His parents died when he was young, and he ran away from home at the age of 10 and did not return home until he was 16. Lin Jian said softly.
The prince suddenly looked serious and asked, "Have you found out where he went in the years when he ran away from home?" ”
"Neighbors said he went out to work, but they didn't know exactly where he was working."
The prince was thoughtful.
Li Yuan has a kind of temperament that reads poetry and books, it is not at all like he was born in such a family, and besides, if Li Yuan had been working outside for several years, it is unlikely that he would have achieved such good results, and in addition, Li Yuan and Wen Yingsu's appearance and charm are similar, and their experiences are also similar - they both said that they went out for several years and then came back.
The prince tapped his right hand on the table.
Slowly, a shallow smile appeared on the prince's face, and he turned his head to Lin Frame and said, "Help the palace make an appointment with Li Yuan, and say that the palace is waiting for him at the Shangshu house of the Ministry of Rites on the morning of April 15, and let him go as scheduled." ”
Lin Jian was stunned for a moment, then understood the reason, and nodded hurriedly: "Yes." ”
