Chapter 217: Visiting the Second Princess
On this day, Xia Zimo, the protagonist of the rumors, stepped out of Baicaotang, causing an uproar among everyone, and they rushed to take a look at the appearance of this demon girl of the country. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
According to the last time she saw off Zhong Lixue, it had been two months unconsciously, and the weather had completely turned cold, and Xia Zimo, who was already extremely afraid of the cold, had already worn a thin jacket inside her clothes and a white fox cloak on the outside.
In the coldest winter, other families are at most dressed like this.
She made a high-profile appearance, blinding everyone's eyes, and those who had been wandering around the Baicaotang hurriedly ran back to report the news.
Looking at the stupid appearance of that group of people, Xia Zimo evoked a charming smile, blinked and threw out a wink, causing countless people to blush and heartbeat.
Seeing this, Cang Qi hurriedly wrapped a scarf around her, narrowly covering half of her delicate and beautiful face.
The bright eyes saw Cangqi's dissatisfaction, and reached out from the cloak, and a white slender hand hooked the arm of the half-blackened man.
The man immediately turned cloudy and sunny, and hurriedly helped Xia Zimo into the carriage.
Looking at the carriage that had gone away, it took a long time for someone to come back to their senses.
"That's ......," a man looked intrigued.
"Woe to the country." A certain woman's face was full of jealousy.
"Who are you talking about, it's obviously a fairy." A man turned around and glared at a certain woman viciously, and his face turned white at a glance, who released the dinosaurs?
Many people guessed where Xia Zimo went, followed all the way, and saw that it was the Jin Palace, and they all wiped their noses and went back to their respective homes.
No one knows the relationship between Xia Zimo and Duanmu Li, they think they can't compare to the emperor's favorite son, who dares to be boring to themselves?
Duanmu Li asked suspiciously, "Zi Mo." How did you get out today? He couldn't hide the joy in his eyes, and hurriedly sent someone to serve tea and snacks. I also ordered the kitchen to make a sumptuous table.
Xia Zimo just smiled and said, "I've been staying in Baicao Hall." Now I come out and move my muscles, lest some people think I'm dumb. ”
Duanmu Li's eyes darkened, knowing what she was talking about. The rumor had been circulating for a month, but he still hadn't let it be completely stopped.
I can't help but feel sorry and blame myself.
Xia Zimo said that it was okay and talked to him about other things.
In the meantime, she casually asked, "What is your relationship with those younger siblings?" ”
"It's okay. How did you remember to ask this? Duanmu Li held the teacup and shook the tea leaves for a while.
"I haven't seen Ying'er for almost four months, and I miss it a little."
Duanmu Li then remembered that Xia Zimo had a younger brother, he had seen it three years ago, and that was the child who still needed someone to hold him.
"How is he doing now?"
"Being naughty all day long, Uncle Lin and Aunt Yun don't know how much hair they have lost because of this." Xia Zimo smiled happily. Straight to the bottom of the eye. When I think of that brother, my heart is warm.
That little trickster was much younger than her, but she was pretending at the time, and Ying'er was real, he would look at her with his dark eyes open after doing something bad and said, "Sister hug." Whenever that happens, she rejoices.
"Duanmuri's stinky boy was also very good at making trouble when he was a child, and when I think about it, I seem to have carried a lot of black pots for him." Duanmu Li said with a smile.
"What about the other siblings?" Xia Zimo still asked casually.
"Duanmu Rui grew up with my mother...... Duanmu Li frowned and said. His younger brother only knew Duanmuri, and he didn't know anything else.
Xia Zimo's eyes flashed with surprise, it turned out that Duanmu Rui had no mother! Motherless can also develop this kind of personality that is not afraid of the ground that day. It seems that the relationship between these brothers is really very deep.
What about the rest...... Xia Zimo smiled lightly and said, "If I accidentally kill someone, what will you do?" ”
Duanmu Li was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "What does Zimo want to do?" ”
Xia Zimo shook his head. said: "I just think that having more brothers is not necessarily a good thing." ”
"What Zi Mo said is that you will know it when you look at Ao Longguo." Duanmu Li laughed playfully.
Ao Long won the throne...... What a terrible word.
I heard that the second prince was castrated, and the sixth prince was assassinated. The Seventh Prince was beheaded by the Xuanyuan Kingdom, and the Eighth Prince drowned in the garden pond. The ten princes and concubines were caught on the spot, and the eleventh prince accidentally fell off the horse and died privately. The Thirteenth Prince choked to death after drinking saliva......
However, in two months, the son died seventy-seven, eighty-eight, and there were only the crown prince, the third prince, the fourth prince, the fifth prince, the ninth prince and the twelfth prince.
I heard that the four princes have been taken away by the masters since they were children, and the twelve princes have been kept in other courtyards because they are frail and sick, and there are only four princes left in this real competition.
The dark horse that broke out was the Nine Emperor Princes, who were just sixteen and could compete with several brothers at a young age, and they had to attract attention.
Helian Hanhan, the emperor of Ao Long Kingdom, just watched his sons disappear one by one, and he didn't get angry and watched so coldly, and he really carried out the traditions of other countries thoroughly...... In this way, he still has the heart to attack Xuanyuan Kingdom, which has to be admired.
The two talked for a while, Xia Zimo got up to say goodbye, Duanmu Li insisted on leaving Xia Zimo for lunch, Xia Zimo categorically refused, Duanmu Li had to give up with regret and reluctance.
Out of the Jin Palace, she went to the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department. Duanmu Li heard the news, and after a little thought about Xia Zimo's words just now, his face turned half white, and he hurriedly set off to chase after him.
Although Xia Zimo is a common person who is a little more famous, it seems that it is a little difficult for her to enter the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department, and she was stopped at the door.
Xia Zimo said that she was friends with the princess and came to chat with her, but the porter was stubborn and resolutely refused to let her go.
Xia Zimo frowned and thought of a way, and inadvertently raised his eyes to see that the surrounding scene seemed to be a little familiar, and it happened that a carriage walked by and stopped in front of the mansion gate in the distance, and the word Zhongli was written on the mansion door.
Xia Zimo suddenly realized, no wonder she felt that this place was a little familiar, she had been here three years ago, and she had come to fool Yao Qiurou and went to Zhong Lixue's house by the way.
A person got down from the carriage, Xia Zimo hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Uncle." ”
Zhong Liyan stopped, was someone calling him? Confused, he turned to see the man and woman in the distance, and frowned, he remembered clearly that he didn't know them.
Seeing their dress, especially Xia Zimo's fox fur cloak, which must be a person who is either rich or noble, he paid a little attention to it in his heart, and said, "The two of you are ......"
Xia Zimo remembered that she was dressing up as a woman at this time, and it had been three years since the last time they met, she lowered her head and smiled, then raised her eyes and said, "Xia Zimo." ”
There is no coquettishness and shame of a woman, and to put it mildly, there is no consciousness of being a woman at all, and she doesn't speak like a woman. However, this attitude Zhong Liyan felt a little familiar.
Just take a closer look, isn't this the demon girl who has been rumored recently?
His heart trembled, and his question deepened, did he know her?
Xia Zimo spit out softly: "Xia Mo." ”
Zhong Liyan's eyes widened instantly, and he pointed at Xia Zimo for a long time and couldn't speak.
Xia Zimo blinked, smiled mysteriously, and said, "Uncle, please keep it secret." ”
Zhong Liyan calmed down a little, and when he looked at Xia Zimo again, his expression changed, he felt a little intimate, and he also had a little regret: such an outstanding person turned out to be a woman, it's a pity......
"What do you need Uncle to do?" Zhong Liyan followed Xia Zimo's title, completely let go of the officialdom, and asked kindly.
He believed that if the woman in front of him didn't need him, he would never reveal his identity at will, and it was a little strange for her to appear here.
was punctured, Xia Zimo was a little embarrassed, but when he thought of what he was going to do next, the shyness that had not yet brewed disappeared immediately, and he generously asked: "My niece wants to meet the second princess." ”
"See her for what?" Zhong Liyan was just curious.
"Something."
Zhong Liyan is not an eventful person, he knew from the fact that he didn't get involved in it three years ago, he nodded, and walked towards the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department with Xia Zimo and Cangqi.
This time I went in very smoothly, and Geng Zhi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was not at home when he went out to do errands, but his son Geng Yi was there, and when he heard that the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites came to visit, he was staying in the study and looking at the thick regulations.
The Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department and the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites are very close to each other, and the relationship is okay, and the DPRK and China can also be called friends, but they generally have not crossed any doors.
First, the older generation has been busy with business and neglected to communicate; Second, there is no hostess in the two mansions; Third, the younger generation is a personality that does not care about people. I have to say that the situation of the two companies is very similar.
Geng Yi went to the lobby to receive him with curiosity, and when he arrived at the place, he found that it was not only the Ministry of Rites Shangshu who came, but also a man and a woman. The man is cold and handsome, and the woman can't see her face clearly, but she should be beautiful and beautiful...... He was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses, he didn't know either of them.
"Lord Shangshu." Geng Yi saluted respectfully, he was just the identity of a waiter, although he was in a different department from Zhong Liyan, but this level was only different, and he had to abide by it, which also showed that the two families actually didn't have much friendship.
"Lord Geng isn't here?" Zhong Liyan asked knowingly.
"There are still some things in the Criminal Department."
"Oh." Zhong Liyan replied lightly, and said, "Is the second princess still healthy?" ”
"Princess, everything is fine." Geng Yi's face was indifferent, as if he didn't notice that they were discussing his wife.
Zhong Liyan still had that indifferent appearance, looking at Xia Zimo and said lightly to Geng Yi: "My niece has some friendship with the princess, and she can relieve the princess's boredom." ”
Geng Yi hesitated for a moment and replied, "It's okay." ”
If Zhong Liyan only brought the woman to the door, maybe he would have misunderstood something and felt that Zhong Liyan was stuffing people into his room, but he also brought a man.
The man's eyes were full of affection when he looked at the woman, and the woman seemed to be quite dependent on the man, and there was something called warmth flowing between the two......
Although he is a little more serious, his brain is not stupid, so he will not be narcissistic to that extent.
He accompanied a few people to the courtyard of the second princess, although he could just find someone to lead the way, but he became curious about the purpose of these people.
He is not blind, how can he not see that this Ministry of Rites is just a pass order, and it is the man and woman who really want to enter his Geng Mansion, and their target is the second princess. (To be continued.) )
