Chapter Twenty-Seven: Huaixiang Pavilion
After a long time, the concubines seemed to be tired, and led a group of eunuchs and maids away.
Miao Zhi walked out of the pavilion, and saw Ling Shuirong and the first concubine talking from a distance, Princess Zhaohua saw her coming, and her originally bored appearance immediately became energetic.
Ling Shuirong saw Miao Zhi coming, turned to her and said, "It's still early, I'm going to the Denghua Palace of the First Concubine Niangniang to sit for a while, if you need to go back to the house, go back first." In a while, Concubine Zichu will send someone to send me back. ”
Miao Zhi nodded, Princess Zhaohua was also trying her best to pull her there, but she really felt that staying by Ling Shuirong's side was too tight to stay, so she found an excuse to go home.
Some cool dusk, the slightest breeze blew off a lot of leaves, north of the city, a carriage slowly drove on the blue and white stone road, through the raised curtain, saw Yuan Hongxuan who was slightly frowning and pale.
There were also three people in the car, Qimang with a bandage around his wrist sitting on the right, and two men in ordinary clothes sitting side by side on the left.
"His Royal Highness was injured this time, and he blamed his subordinates for not protecting him well, so that the thieves had a chance, and he also seriously injured the seven guards, and his subordinates were derelict in their duties, and I hope His Highness will punish him."
The man who spoke was fine, with a pair of sharp eyes on his inconspicuous face, and the other man who was sitting against the wall of the car with him also clenched his fists and bowed his head, looking like he wanted to accept punishment.
The thin white lips opened slightly, "Mu Zhen, I can't blame you for this matter, if it weren't for me letting the two of you keep an eye on the envoys of the Eastern Yuan, they would have taken advantage of the loophole." Who would have thought that Yuan Hongyi would kill me in the Beixin Palace, fortunately, this time I and Qimang are fine, just be careful in the future. ”
The man's voice was low, and there was a hint of weakness in his tone, and the man named Mu Zhen had to pricked up his ears and listen carefully.
"Yes" Mu Zhen nodded in response, "Go back and let Lin Feng send people out to carefully check Yuan Hongyi's whereabouts, although he didn't show up this time, he must have come to Beixin." In addition, inform Qin Guan and let Xiang Yan take a good look at the Bachelor's Mansion, and don't let go of old things. ”
When Yuan Hongxuan said this, there was some inexplicable taste in his tone, and he remembered the pure and clear eyes of today's woman.
"Subordinates obey orders", the man and the other man flew out of the carriage and disappeared in an instant.
As soon as Miao Zhi left the palace gate, Xiang Yan greeted her. After she instructed the coachman and the maids beside Ling Shuirong, she sent them back to the house first, saying that she wanted to take a break outside and go back later.
When the carriage gradually moved away, Miao Zhicai and Xiang Yan walked towards the main street of the city, today she had to inquire about where the large and small blacksmith shops in the city were, and she counted on these blacksmith shops to make glass bottles.
sighed slightly, eased his somewhat anxious feelings, and led Xiang Yan around the street to inquire.
Huaixiang Pavilion, the largest flower building in the new city.
At this time, the old bustard rubbing the thick powder beckoned the girls to go out to welcome the guests, the red gauze in the hall was flying, and the women in revealing colored gauze clothes shook the pu fan and laughed and scolded the men, so full of spring.
On the second floor of the Accord, the jade-faced Bei Yiyu changed into a white dragon-patterned brocade robe, wearing a blue-gray cotton silk embroidered satin robe, lazily leaning in the arms of a beautiful woman with only a belly pocket, and playfully looking at Yuan Hongyi, who was a little annoyed on the other side.
"Prince Yi, don't be so angry, although the assassination failed, but your ninth brother also escaped death, the blame is only on your subordinates who are too bad, and more than a dozen people can't even kill two of them." After speaking, with a wave of his big hand, he scooped the beauty behind him into his arms and leaned over to kiss it.
After hearing this, Yuan Hongyi, who had a gloomy face, was even more angry, he had been planning for a long time this time to kill two birds with one stone, and he sent out all the good hands in the dead soldiers, but he still failed to put Yuan Hongxuan to death, how could he not be annoyed.
Thinking of this, his subordinates used all their strength to crush the wine glass in their hands, so frightened that the woman next to him turned white in an instant, and the hand that picked up the wine jug hung firmly in the air, not daring to move.
"Yo, what kind of sulking is this, it's come to this, what can you do like this?" Bei Yiyu took a shallow sip of the wine in the glass, "Don't blame me for not reminding Prince Yi, this is the capital of Beixin, if I hadn't brought those people of yours into the palace in disguise today, Yuan Hongxuan would not have been hurt in the slightest." ”
His eyes were like arrows, and he shot straight at Yuan Hongyi, "Please also ask Prince Yi to be more considerate of this prince's situation, but don't do anything crooked." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at the woman beside Yuan Hongyi. The woman holding the wine jug reflected at this time, put down the wine jug with a smile, wrapped the slender soft wattle around the man's neck, and handed her delicate lips up.
"Childe, don't be upset. It's good to drink with Xiang'er, come, ah, Xiang'er feed you. The woman leaned softly into Yuan Hongyi's arms, and put the wine glass in her hand softly against his lips.
Yuan Hongyi suppressed his annoyance, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, he opened his mouth and drank a sip of the wine in the cup, and as soon as he fished it out with his big hand, he hugged the woman in his arms tighter.
"Come, you drink too, and accompany my son to get drunk and rest." Pouring all the wine in the cup into his mouth, he quickly kissed the woman's gorgeous lips, and instantly crossed the wine into the woman's mouth, and the corners of the lips of the two slowly flowed out a little crystal wine.
"Childe, you're really annoying." However, Xiang'er, who has seen many men, can't help but blush, not to mention that Childe is still such a handsome person. She softened her body even more and greeted her with a smile.
The corners of Yuan Hongyi's eyebrows twitched, and he drank cup after cup. He must calm down now, the envoys of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty can still stay in Beixin for dozens of days, and there are still many opportunities, this time Yuan Hongxuan must be killed.
The hatred in his heart continued, but the smile on his face deepened, and he raised his glass to Bei Yiyu.
"I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will take care of him a lot, kill Yuan Hongxuan, and I will be able to hold Dongyuan in my hand justifiably, and then I can lend you troops, so that you can quickly drive your father off the throne and become a great treasure!"
Without waiting for Bei Yiyu to raise his glass, he raised his head and poured all the wine into his mouth.
"Isn't this the business of this prince, what Prince Yi said."
Bei Yiyu also drank all the wine handed over by the woman next to him, and the two looked at each other, and they both laughed "haha".
There was no more conversation in the private room, only the sound of the lute and the soft and delicate laughter of the woman, which came through the layers of tulle down the crack in the door.
Red lanterns are hung high, and spun yarn is flying. The fragrance in the Huaixiang Pavilion is curling, and the voices of men and women laughing and scolding are endless.
The night was deeper, and even the moon seemed to be unable to stand it, and it hid behind the clouds shyly, leaving only the bright stars in the night sky, blinking and looking at the qiē below.
