The assassination of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet is still full of turmoil like in her previous life.

However, the difference is that under Shen Ze's suggestion, the only woman who was captured alive in the dead was pulled out of her fangs, and there was no hope of suicide after she woke up, leaving the only one alive.

The Emperor kept the news tightly shut up from the outside world, and at the same time personally urged the Criminal Department to step up the trial, and after the cool officials of the Criminal Department racked their brains to use all the torture that could be used, the female assassin finally couldn't survive and summoned everything she knew.

The capital ushered in a bloody purge, many of the officials involved in it have fallen one after another, coupled with the assassination before, the officialdom of the Jing'an Dynasty is now Yan zhòng shortage of people, the holding of the autumn test is already imminent, and it has to be advanced.

Lu Fu was a blessing in disguise, the original Ministry of Industry Shangshu was stabbed to death at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, the original Ministry of Industry Zuo Shilang was promoted to the new Shangshu, and Lu Zhenyuan was also promoted by half a level and became the new Ministry of Industry Zuo Shilang.

Lu Yan, who had studied at Lan Kwai College for more than two years, made rapid progress, and his husband recommended him to take the autumn exam and take the children's exam.

A few days before the autumn test, Zhihua received a post from the eldest princess herself, inviting her to go to Dajue Temple in the suburbs of Beijing the next day to offer incense.

During this period of time, there was a lot of rumors in the capital, and the ladies of the noble family were all closed, lest they be assassinated again by the assassin Yusins, and now the female assassin confessed, although the forces behind it have not been uprooted, but they have been greatly damaged, and the eldest princess dared to take her daughter out to make incense and make a wish.

"Ah Hua, have you been waiting for a long time? Come on. Minyi lifted the curtain and excitedly waved to Zhihua, who was waiting at the door of the Lu Mansion.

Zhihua got into the carriage, and as soon as she sat down, Minyi shouted, "Okay, Ahua, I miss you!" He pounced on her and almost knocked her out of the car.

Zhihua was frightened and glared at her angrily: "I haven't seen you for more than half a month, why are you still so reckless, can't you be steady?" I don't think you're trying to kill me, you're trying to scare me to death, right? ”

Minyi grinned, hugged her neck and said coquettishly: "Okay Ahua, people are too excited." If it weren't for your ingenuity, I wouldn't have seen you today, wouldn't you be glad that I escaped death? ”

Zhihua spat her: "What stupid thing to say, you promised me, don't mention this matter again, why did you forget it." ”

Minyi stuck out her tongue: "I haven't forgotten, otherwise my mother would have prepared a generous gift to thank her, how could she be like today, just waiting for us at the city gate." It's just you and me here, I'm going to talk about it. By the way, Ah Hua, where did you get the news, I've been bored at home for more than half a month, and I've been thinking about this problem so hard, I'm about to die of curiosity, you can do it, sue me. ”

Zhihua looked stern: "You really want to know?" Then you can't sue anyone. ”

Seeing that she was so light, she was willing to say, Minyi's eyes lit up, and the chick nodded again and again as if she was pecking rice.

"Actually, this is a dream from the Bodhisattva, do you believe it?" Zhihua looks like an unfathomable master of the world.

Minyi didn't believe a word, and stretched out her hands to pinch Zhihua's cheeks: "Okay, you are a narrow girl, you dare to tease the county lord, see how the county lord is tortured!" ”

Zhihua shouted: "The county lord spares his life!" The gag finally bypassed Minyi's problem.

This time, for the sake of safety, the eldest princess brought enough honor guards, twelve palace maids sat in three carriages, plus the accompanying thirty personal guards, and the mighty group was waiting at the gate of the city. After meeting with Minyi, the traveling team joined two more carriages and ten personal guards, and a group of people set off for Dajue Temple with great momentum.

Li Yuxue, who got up early in the morning and also went to Dajue Temple to offer incense, was walking on the road at this time. Suddenly, I heard someone behind the carriage knocking a gong and shouting: "The eldest princess travels, and the predecessors avoid it!" She hurriedly ordered the coachman to step aside and let the eldest princess go first.

Li Yuxue gently lifted the curtain of the carriage and kicked it, looking at the majestic honor guard of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess moving forward, her eyes were full of envy, and she sighed lightly: "It's so majestic!" Xiaoqing, the personal maid who inherited with her, grinned: "Miss doesn't have to be envious, she will marry a good aunt in the future, and she will be the top student in high school, and she will have to earn a life for Miss, and she will not be much worse than Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." ”

Li Yuxue glanced at her: "Mouthless stinky girl, if you say this in front of outsiders, see if I don't tear your mouth!" The corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, looking like a young girl, it seems that this "good uncle" has a candidate in her heart.

Xiaoqing has been serving Miss for many years, how could she be stunned by her fake anger, and still smiled and quipped: "The slave is used to being unobstructed, Miss don't be angry." The brows wrinkled angrily, and when the future good uncle saw it, he couldn't be distressed to death. ”

These words really entered Li Yuxue's heart, thinking of the excellent man who was full of pity and love for herself, the smile on her face was sweeter than eating honey. But after a while, the sweetness faded again, replaced by endless bitterness, and sighed faintly: "Where is he your future good uncle, people have already been engaged, and the life earned will not be mine in the future." "The sweetheart is famous, he is a famous talent in Beijing, and both the master and servant are sure that he will be a wife and a cute son in the future, and the future is limitless, so when it comes to the fact that he has been engaged, he adds to the grievances.

Xiaoqing has been cultivated as Li Yuxue's dowry maid since she was a child, and in the future, Li Yuxue is likely to become a maid who helps the young lady serve her husband, and it can be said that her uncle in the future will also become her husband, so she also looked sad: "Miss is from the same family background as her, and it is really difficult to win her." ”

While the two were talking, the eldest princess's guard of honor had all passed in front of their carriage, and the coachman drove the horses on.

The sorrow in her heart was gradually replaced by the excitement of meeting her sweetheart, Li Yuxue resolutely said: "No matter what, let's hold Zhang Gongzi's heart firmly first, even if it is the worst case in the future, we will be a flat wife, with the favor of our husband, we will not be afraid of her!" "It seems that I have made up my mind, and I will not marry my sweetheart.

Xiaoqing nodded in agreement, her face was full of fighting spirit: "That is, with Childe's current love for Miss, we are not afraid of her!" ”

Zhihua didn't know that there was someone behind her, who was gearing up to compete with her. She and Minyi followed behind the eldest princess and entered the Dajue Temple under the personal welcome of the host.

The eldest princess is devout and never does anything to clear the temple. Buddhism preaches the equality of all beings, and preventing others from offering incense because they worship the Buddha is not the practice of true Buddhists. Therefore, at this time, in the main hall of the temple, there were pilgrims who came earlier than them. When everyone heard that the eldest princess Feng had arrived at the temple gate, they all consciously avoided the entrance outside the hall. Zhang Xiang, the future uncle in Xiaoqing's mouth, is also in this group of people at the moment. Among the pilgrims, in addition to the common people, there are also the gentlemen who have been detained by the family for half a month and come out to breathe, Zhang Xiang has a oily and powdery boy next to him, stretching his neck to look in the direction of the temple gate, and muttering: "Why haven't you come yet." Zhang Xiang looked at his eager appearance and sneered: "Brother Tai is so anxious to see the eldest princess?" "You know what? Accompanying Her Royal Highness the eldest princess today, it is her only beloved daughter Minyi, the county lord! I've long heard that the county lord is delicate and lovely, and he is about to reach the age of marriage. I'll take a sneak look at it now, and if I'm satisfied, I'll go back and ask my family to come to my door. Zhang Xiang secretly proposed to the county lord, saying it so easily, it seems that this person's family background should be quite prominent. Therefore, I had the intention of making friends in my heart, and said with full flattery: "Brother Tai is really far-sighted, and I admire and admire it." When the boy heard this, he was very useful, and after a while, the two of them called each other brothers.

When the two chatted happily about which of the school-age ladies in Beijing was more outstanding, the eldest princess came with the two girls behind her. The two stopped talking, looked at each other, and couldn't help but swallow their saliva in unison.

I saw the eldest princess walking in front of her head with seven phoenix hairpins in her head, with luxurious clothes, although she was nearly half a hundred years old, because of proper maintenance, she looked about thirty years old, her face was amiable, and she made people feel good at it. And the two girls accompanying her have their own styles. The one on the left is wearing a bright red hair, with a Lingyun bun on her head, and six soybean-sized ruby hairpins are inserted in the bun side by side, which is as red as fire in the sun, and her skin is as white as jade. On the face of the small and delicate melon seeds, a pair of bright and clever big eyes are looking at the woman next to her with a sly smile, the ruddy and full cherry lips are talking to each other one by one, and there is a bright smile on her face, and two dimples appear, which makes her even more delicate and lovely. And the girl next to her, wearing a lake blue breast-length skirt, is also eye-catching. The girl combed her hair into a lily bun, and only a hibiscus hosta was inserted in her hair, and there were no other superfluous accessories. She gave birth to a dignified and beautiful goose egg face, with a pair of bright almond eyes under slender willow eyebrows. Although this woman is not as luxurious as the eldest princess mother and daughter, she is not inferior when she stands together, perhaps because of the demure and indifferent smile on her face, or because she walks differently from other girls' upright posture, so that her whole person is like a green bamboo standing proudly in the wind, with her own unique style.

"Beautiful! It's beautiful! Look at the woman in red, she must be the county lord, she is really innocent and bright, pretty and moving. Look at the one next to her, dignified and beautiful, it should be the county lord's close friend, the daughter of the eldest daughter of Lu Shilang's family in the Ministry of Industry. The oily-haired young man commented in a low voice.

The look of amazement in Zhang Xiang's eyes had not yet receded, and when he heard this, he was a little surprised: "The daughter of the Lu Shilang family? How does Brother Tai know? He and Zhihua have been married since childhood, but they have never seen their fiancée, and today even a strange man can recognize his fiancée, and he can't help but feel a little surprised.

The boy threw him a disdainful look of "you are so stupid" and said, "You don't know this! The county lord's only friend in Beijing is this Miss Lu, and the two also opened the only Jingyue Zhai in Beijing that only entertains female dependents, and at this time, she can come out with the county lord to offer incense, needless to say, it is her. ”

Zhang Xiang suddenly realized. He had heard his mother complain a few words about the county lord and his fiancée opening a restaurant, but he was so focused on his studies that he never took it to heart. Zhang Xiang recently met the daughter of Dr. Li of Xuanzheng, and the two fell in love at first sight, and they are currently in a hot and sweet love period. Originally, he planned to find a way to quit the Lu family and marry Miss Li, but after seeing his fiancée today, he changed his mind. Empress E's daughter is also the eternal story, Zhang Xiang thought beautifully in his heart.

Zhihua had already seen Zhang Xiang in the crowd, although she was a little surprised how he could appear here, but her face was not revealed, and her eyes swept over him, as if she had seen a stranger she didn't know.

After the eldest princess led them to incense the Buddha, she went to the meditation room to listen to the presiding abbot's lecture, knowing that the young people were impatient to listen to this, and did not force them to follow, and repeatedly explained that the two could only play in the temple and were not allowed to run around.
