Chapter 10: Keeping Hands (Wind Dancer + Sugar Cane & Clanbi Kagan)
In the inner courtyard of the deep palace, the red walls and green tiles are shrouded in a clear starry sky.
In the imperial study, Emperor Yuewen and Yueming, who were dressed in yellow, were still working diligently in various movements.
"Your Majesty, the queen mother has sent a supper, and I tell you to rest early!" A feminine voice sounded softly, interrupting Emperor Yuewen's train of thought.
In fact, he is also very tired, he is not yet forty years old, but his sideburns have long been white. Supporting his head with both hands, he rubbed his tired face vigorously before he reluctantly opened his astringent eyes, "Bring it up!" ”
The great eunuch Zhao Ping came up with a food box, sorted out the chapters on the bookcase, took out a bowl of bird's nest porridge, and placed two small dishes on the table, "Your Majesty, use it!" ”
Yueming nodded, picked up the small bowl, and suddenly asked, "That Loulan's girl has been in the Yueguo Mansion for two days, right?" ”
Zhao Ping waited for Emperor Yuewen to have supper, "Yes, Princess Loulan has already lived in Diancui Courtyard!" ”
The emperor's supper is also limited, and he ate a bowl of porridge in a few bites, and Emperor Yuewen's thin face was dissatisfied, "Go and get me some snacks, these women are hypocritical, since they send supper, what are you doing with such a small bowl?" ”
Zhao Ping took out a small plate of dim sum that had been prepared a long time ago from the food box, "Niangniang is also afraid that Her Majesty will accumulate food, so she doesn't dare to prepare more!" ”
Emperor Yue Wen was very satisfied with Zhao Ping's care, and knew that he was much better prepared for himself than those pretentious women, "Is there no reaction from the Yue Guo Mansion?" "I don't know what they think of the holy decree that they stopped at the gates. Emperor Yuewen ate a snack, took another sip of ginseng tea and asked.
"The old lady of the Yue Guo Mansion gave an order, the princess was frightened by the hurricane before, she was homesick, and she didn't know how to speak the Yue Dynasty, so she temporarily recuperated in the Diancui Courtyard, and no one was allowed to disturb her!"
Zhao Ping's voice was slow and soft, and what he said was meaningful.
Oh, it's a good way, and it won't be a problem to hide people. Emperor Yuewen ate the last piece of snacks and waved his hand to indicate that he was full, "Is there any news from Tianliu Mountain?" What the hell is going on with that girl? ”
The voice was a little gloomy, Zhao Ping lowered his head and replied in a low voice, "They have been investigating for a long time, but they have not found any other traces. Those more than 1,000 people disappeared out of thin air, and it seemed that they were really swept away by the hurricane! ”
After listening to this, Emperor Yuewen frowned, and his fingers kept tapping on the table.
On this day, there is a customs clearance road under the mountain, which directly links the moon dynasty and the north. But it is also a strange place, from time to time there will be hurricanes blowing, and people or things passing over the mountain will also be carried away by the huge force, and there will be no trace of it. Some caravans have tried to cross through the mountains and forests, but unfortunately none of the people who entered have ever come out. Therefore, this mountain is called Tianliu.
However, it is also because of this that the Beibi Biao Iron Cavalry has always been blocked outside Tianliu Mountain, and has never stepped into the Moon Dynasty for half a step. But Tianliushan is strange and sad, which does not mean that other places cannot be walked. For example, there is Loulan in the north and southwest, but there is a winding path there that can communicate with the Moon Dynasty, so Beipi, who is a little careful about the Moon Dynasty, has always coveted Loulan.
But the wedding team of Loulan did not take that path, but crossed the Tianliu Mountain, why is this?
"Let the dark one go to Loulan to ask for the portrait of the princess, or bring back the people who know the princess!"
Zhao Ping replied respectfully, "Yes!" ”
Emperor Yuewen picked up the recital on the imperial case again, "When Yue Jinsheng received someone, was there anything wrong?" ”
Zhao Ping hurriedly put those candlesticks closer to Emperor Yuewen, and smiled on his tangled face, "I heard that the lonely kid actually took advantage of the princess several times!" ”
Emperor Yuewen's eyebrows were raised, and he looked sideways at the strange Zhao Ping who was smiling, "Oh? That kid was so tempted? ”
Zhao Ping remembered the description in the news, "It is said that the princess is very moving, and she will definitely be beautiful in the future!" ”
Emperor Wen of the Moon suddenly remembered his fellow sister, she was also very beautiful, and she was once the most noble woman in the Yue Dynasty, but it was a pity
……
On Xiangyun Street in the east of the capital, there are several wealthy mansions. The Household Shilang Sun Mansion is in the innermost part of this Xiangyun Street.
The house was large, but it was a little empty. Sun Chengtai is the real Emperor Yuewen's three-year Tanhualang ascended to the throne, and he has been steadily rising all the way to the Hubu Shilang, which is very trusted by Emperor Yuewen.
It's just that he was born a poor student in the end, and his foundation is not a little bit worse, and Emperor Yuewen rewarded him with a huge mansion, but unfortunately he didn't have the money to decorate one or two.
In addition, he is an honest official, except for his own income, the expenses inside and outside the house over the years have actually been maintained by his wife Zheng.
Zheng is the wife of Sun Chengtai who married back after falling into Tanhua, and is the concubine of a favored aunt of his top boss Zheng Shao.
The Zheng family is also a well-established gateway in the capital, with a lot of money and far-sightedness. As soon as Zheng Shao saw Sun Chengtai, he knew that this kid would go further, given that he already had a bad wife, and he couldn't give up supporting him all the way to study, so Zheng Shao didn't embarrass Sun Chengtai, but just married one of his proud concubines, Zheng Lan, to him as a flat wife.
Sun Chengtai's wife, Gu Liniang, was born in a small family, and she couldn't fight the oppression of the big family in the capital, so she agreed in desperation.
Zheng is very good at being a man, although he is a flat wife, he entered the door and took a concubine ceremony, which gave Gu enough face. Usually careful to avoid conflicts with anyone, but to help Sun Chengtai in the economy and interpersonal relationships. It wasn't until she gave birth to a daughter and a son in a row and gained a firm foothold in the Sun family that she officially took over the inner courtyard of the Sun family.
Sun Chengtai not only likes the good-looking color of the Zheng family, but also feels sorry for her to spend her dowry for herself, so many times, she stays in this Lan Garden.
"Don't be busy, it's late at night, let's rest!" Seeing that the Zheng family was busy waiting for his supper and doing everything himself, Sun Chengtai was distressed, and pulled someone to sit in his arms and didn't let her move again.
Zheng blushed shyly, picked up millet and red date porridge and fed Sun Chengtai, "Master drank too much today, he definitely didn't eat a good meal, eat more of this porridge to nourish his stomach!" ”
"I didn't drink much today, I'm careful!" Sun Chengtai took a bite of porridge, "Yue Guogong, please eat, I don't dare to drink too much casually, if I promise him anything, I can't explain it to His Majesty!" ”
Zheng's eyes lit up, "Yue Guogong invited the master to dinner, for what?" ”
"Hmph, what can he do for it?" Sun Chengtai thought of those words of temptation and oppression, and felt aggrieved, "The princess of Loulan has entered Beijing, and His Majesty suddenly ordered to live in his house. I guess that this is the intention to match Princess Loulan to the prince of Yue Guo to cultivate feelings first, and then mention marriage!
As a result, Yue Guogong even inquired about our family's Wanxin, and kept saying to pressure me, so that Wanxin must not be in a hurry to find someone! ”
Oh?
Zheng's heart trembled, did the Yueguo Mansion really take a fancy to Sun Wanxin's girl? After two turns in his heart, he smiled happily and said, "Why is the master angry?" If Wanxin can really marry into the Yue Guo Mansion, and with such a big backer as the Yue Guo Gong in the future, the husband will be able to speak well in the court, right? Such a good thing should be promised? ”
Sun Chengtai glanced at the simple beauty helplessly, and pinched her nose, "I know you think about it, but this matter is still to be discussed!" ”
