Chapter 139

"What is the emperor angry about?"

"Our Dachang Da Sima actually knelt down with the prince of Da Zhou, but it was our Dachang people who lost it!"

Ping Yao looked at the people coming and going, all of them were gossiping and talking about it, and their faces were full of interest. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

Ping Yao smiled faintly, but there was no smile on her face.

Soon, these people will no longer be able to laugh and gossip here.

In October, osmanthus flowers are fragrant.

Ping Yao picked a small half basket of osmanthus flowers, came to the river, and put the rattan basket into the river. The river soon entered through the gap in the basket, and the water floated the osmanthus flowers, and the pale yellow delicate flowers floated in the water.

Yan geometry sat on the shore and threw a stone into the river, startling the fish to flee in all directions.

"What are you doing with so many flowers? Make osmanthus cake to eat? ”

"Make perfume."

Yan Geometry was silent.

Ping Yao has a complete set of distillation tools, which are specially used to make perfumes.

Ping Yao was particularly interested in these complicated and elegant things, and she was enthusiastic about learning them for several months.

Xue Zhu and Han Ji took the glazed distillation bottle and the alcohol lamp, put a table in the small pavilion on the river bank, and then put the things in order.

The crystal clear glass shines brightly in the sun.

Yan Geometry walked over and took a look: "This thing is so exquisitely made." ”

"But it's not as easy to observe as glass."

"Glass, what is it?"

In this era, there was no glass.

Ping Yao explained: "The shape is similar to white glass. But the transparency is very high, and if we stand on both sides of the glass, the person will not be distorted, and the middle will be as if there is nothing. If you look at the glass, you won't be able to do it, and the person who sees it will be deformed. ”

Yan Geometry paused to speak and began to imagine.

Ping Yao neatly placed the petals on the material layer and started the heating device.

Yan Geometry leaned against the pillar next to him and watched the water vapor slowly climb up the pipe and into the distillation pot.

In the distance, the sound of shoes walking across the stone slabs could be heard.

Han Ji walked towards the pavilion, saluted, and said softly: "Master, someone asks to see you." ”

"Who?"

Han Ji said softly: "Second prince." ”

Jiang Henghuan?

What did he come here for?

"Let him in."

As soon as Ping Yao's words fell, a blue figure came out of the flower forest on the side: "I came in a long time ago." ”

Jiang Henghuan was full of dead leaves, but he was very embarrassed: "You didn't even notice me?" ”

Without waiting for Ping Yao to answer, Yan Geometry opened his mouth first: "The breath is unsteady and the steps are heavy, as soon as you hear it, you know that you don't have much effort, this kind of Xiao Luo, you don't have to care if you find it." ”

Jiang Henghuan glared angrily: "You dare to speak to me like this, who are you?!" ”

Ping Yao introduced with a smile: "He is the young master of Wanqi Villa, Yan Geometry. ”

Jiang Henghuan's eyes were full of stars: "You are Yan Geometry?!" That Yan Geometry who buried evil spirits under the sword of the ravine? ”

Jiang Henghuan ran to Yan Geometry enthusiastically.

Yan Geometry hurriedly retreated: "What are you doing, don't approach me." ”

Jiang Henghuan hugged Yan Geometry's arm: "Can you be my master?" Master, can you teach me martial arts?! ”

Yan Geometry shook Jiang Henghuan's hand: "Aren't you the second prince, what kind of martial arts do you learn as a broken prince?" Isn't it okay to eat and drink? ”

"No, no, I'm a man of ambition."

"Being a prince can show your ambition better, right?"

The two of them tugged and pulled to Ping Yao's table.

Yan Geometry was impatient, grabbed Jiang Henghuan's arm and fell over the shoulder, and threw Jiang Henghuan to the ground.

Jiang Henghuan grinned in pain, but there was a spark in his eyes, and he got up from the ground and went to pounce on Yan Geometry: "I want to apprentice!" ”

Yan Geometry was still worried that Jiang Henghuan was the prince at first, and he didn't dare to be ruthless.

But seeing that Jiang Henghuan was so cheap, he didn't care, and it was another over-the-shoulder fall.

This time it was obviously heavier than the last one.

Jiang Henghuan was thrown for a long time before he got up, rubbing his waist and chasing Yan with a limp.

ran to Ping Yao, Ping Yao grabbed it casually, grabbed a strand of Jiang Henghuan's hair, and then dragged it.

Jiang Henghuan shouted in pain: "It hurts, you slow down, let go of me." ”

Ping Yao pointed to the stone bench on the side: "Sit there, don't make any more trouble." Otherwise, he throws you out, and I don't care. ”

"Okay."

Ping Yao let go of her hair.

Jiang Henghuan began to chase Yan Geometry again.

Yan Geometry punched Jiang Henghuan in the face.

Jiang Henghuan lay straight on the ground. His left eye was stained with blood.

"Ah, I can't open my eyes・・・・・・ ah, ahem."

Yan Geometry was afraid that Jiang Henghuan would stand up again, so he kicked Jiang Henghuan with one foot, and Jiang Henghuan coughed violently.

"My world is red." Jiang Henghuan tried to open his panda eyes and opened his mouth sadly.

After struggling twice, Jiang Henghuan was trampled on to death, and finally gave up weakly.

Ping Yao waited until Jiang Henghuan stopped before speaking: "What are you looking for me at this time?" ”

"My queen mother told me to come to you."

Ping Yao's indifferent face sank a little.

After she left Dachang Palace, she wrote a lot of letters to Lin Yuanxiu to explain the situation at that time.

Lin Yuanxiu didn't reply anywhere.

Although Qinghe later wrote to comfort her, saying that Lin Yuanxiu was just afraid of excessive contact and exposing Ping Yao.

But Lin Yuanxiu's misunderstanding will always be a thorn in Ping Yao's heart.

Ping Yao put down the things in his hand and walked to Jiang Henghuan's side.

She looked down at Jiang Henghuan, who had a miserable face, and asked in a low voice, "Auntie・・・・・・ what did the queen ask you to come to me for?" ”

Jiang Henghuan blinked his eyes and spoke: "She wants me to tell you about the current situation in the DPRK." ”

Ping Yao thought for a moment and took two steps back, and said to Yan Geometry: "Let's let him go, it's tiring to talk to him like this." ”

The pavilion is quiet and quiet.

Xuezhu came to serve tea and retreated silently.

In the rectifier, there are already essential oils dripping.

Jiang Henghuan walked over curiously and asked Ping Yao, "What is this?" ”

"What did the Empress tell me to tell me?"

Jiang Henghuan shrugged his shoulders, walked to Ping Yao's side, and sat down.

"The queen mother knows that there must be drastic changes in Pingyang City in the past few days. You should know that the national strength of Jokhang is average, how can it be possible to openly provoke Dachang? After the queen mother knew about this, the first thing she thought of was that someone must have deliberately framed her and blamed Dazhao. ”

Ping Yao nodded: "That's right, I also suspect that someone deliberately blamed Dazhao and wanted to take the opportunity to create some drastic changes in Dachang." ”

Later, however, my mother wrote to her to find out. The news I got turned out to be that it was really Jokhang's army that attacked Dachang. ”

Ping Yao looked at Jiang Henghuan in surprise.

"The queen mother is the princess of Dazhao, and her heart is for Dazhao, and the news she got should be true. What's more, she is still the queen of Dachang, and if Dazhao was framed, she would also take the opportunity to defend herself. So this news, we all agree to be true. ”

Ping Yao frowned: "Who proposed the idea of Dazhao attacking Dachang?" ”

"The Nine Emperors of Jokhang."

"The Nine Emperors? Isn't he the son of the exiles of the Jokhang Emperor who was only later taken back to the palace? Didn't her mother say that she was starving to death, it stands to reason that his status should be an unfavored prince, how could Emperor Jokhang pass the absurd proposal of an unfavored prince? ”

Jiang Henghuan shook his head: "Don't say you don't understand, even my mother hasn't figured it out." ”

Jiang Henghuan continued: "The queen mother and the current Emperor Jokhang are not the same mother, but the relationship between the two is good. The queen mother knows Emperor Jokhang very well, he is ambitious, and he is also cold-blooded. But not the kind of person who dares to take risks. He dared to do this, and there must be a reason behind him to convince him that Dazhao would not be threatened. ”

It's unscientific.

Who could give such a guarantee to Emperor Jokhang?

Ping Yao got up slowly, looked at the clear water and blue waves outside the pavilion, and thought that in this matter, the part of Dazhao might be involved.

Jiang Henghuan analyzed: "Now we can be sure that Dachang has spies. And this condition was put forward by the Nine Emperor Princes, and the Nine Emperor Princes are likely to be the spies of the two countries. But who is the messenger? Whether he passed on this news to help Dazhao or to help himself, we don't know this. ”

Ping Yao spoke slowly: "It's definitely not just about helping yourself. If he didn't show some sincerity, how could Dazhao risk his words and listen to him? ”

"But from this incident, we don't see any benefits for Jokhang."

Ping Yao smiled faintly: "If you don't have it now, it doesn't mean that you won't have it in the future." What would you do if there is no return? ”

Jiang Henghuan saw that Ping Yao was no longer dull, and he could still talk to him with such a smile, and hurriedly stood up.

"Have you figured it out?"

Ping Yao sat opposite Jiang Henghuan, looked at Jiang Henghuan's confused eyes, and said, "I ask, you answer." ”

Jiang Henghuan nodded.

Ping Yao asked: "Vice General Song went to Yangzhou and was defeated, who did it?" ”

Answer: "Da Sima." ”

He also asked: "Authorities, how many factions are there in the DPRK and China?" ”

"Three factions. My father is a faction, and my mother is a faction. There is also Prince Lai's faction. ”

"Does Prince Li have a lot of power in his hands?"

"It's enough to be on par with my father and mother."

Ping Yao smiled: "Here's the problem. ”

Jiang Henghuan's confused eyes were full of curiosity: "Where?" ”

"We've all missed a single person."

"Who?"

Ping Yao spoke softly: "Your imperial grandmother, the current queen mother. ”

Jiang Henghuan looked at Ping Yao silently, waiting for her explanation.

Ping Yao stood up and walked towards Jiang Henghuan: "Today's Emperor Dachang is not the prince's son. And Prince Li is the only son of the Queen Mother. Prince Li has a heavy army, and even the chief of soldiers and horses, Da Sima, is his person, do you say that in this case, will the Queen Mother have the idea of letting Prince Li replace Emperor Dachang? ”

Jiang Henghuan thought for a moment and said, "Although I am not too close to the imperial grandmother, I can see that the imperial grandmother is a very smart and resolute person, and she should not be willing to be in power." ”

"Yes, you see," Ping Yao spread his hands, "neither the Queen Mother nor Prince Li are the kind of people who are willing to live in the queen, they will definitely want to hold Dachang in their own hands." This is not a rebellious idea, didn't your father also kill his imperial brother and become the emperor? ”

At the mention of this stubble, Jiang Henghuan opened his mouth and wanted to refute.

Someone said in front of him that his father was a big rebel!

But when I think about it, Ping Yao is not the only surviving daughter of the imperial brother killed by his father.

Self-control, Jiang Henghuan can only shut up.

Ping Yao hugged her chest and looked at Jiang Henghuan's wonderful expression, smiled, and then spoke: "I don't know if your mother has told you that I have a lot of eyeliner in Dachang Palace, and there are people from me in every palace and courtyard." Among them is the side of the Queen Mother. ”

"But it's strange that in the four or five years that my people have been here, they have never found out that Prince Li and the Queen Mother have secret dealings. Not even a letter has been found. ”

Jiang Henghuan was still angry and Ping Yao scolded his father, and said angrily: "That may be your person is useless." ”

Ping Yao glanced at Jiang Henghuan.

Jiang Henghuan silently leaned back, avoiding Ping Yao's gaze.

Well, his father killed Ping Yao's father, and it was nothing for her to scold a few words.

Only then did Ping Yao speak: "It's not appropriate to say that you want to cover it. However, the cleaner the Queen Mother skims, the more difficult it proves that she is. ”

"But what does this have to do with Jokhang?"

Ping Yao seemed to smile: "This, this involves a very fragrant love story." ”

"What?!" Jiang Henghuan's desire to learn is bursting.

Ping Yao asked with a smile, "You want to know?" Answer me a question first. ”

"You say, you say."

"When I scolded your father, were you angry?" Then, in an aggravated tone, he said, "Tell the truth." ”

Jiang Henghuan smiled embarrassedly: "I'm a little angry." ”

"Well, it's the truth. So, it's impossible for me to tell you this story, where did you come from? ”

Jiang Henghuan's happy expression shattered into slag: "Why? Why?! I've told the truth, shouldn't you praise me and tell me the story? ”

"Read less of the book, boy."

Jiang Henghuan stood up unhappily and walked out of the pavilion sadly: "It's okay if you don't have a good time in the palace, it's hard to get out of the palace, and you still treat me like this." ”

Ping Yao accompanied Jiang Henghuan and walked to the stone road between flowers and trees.

"You are the prince, who in the palace dares to make you unhappy?"

Jiang Henghuan kicked a stone and flew out: "You don't know, I'm in the palace now, and even a subordinate dares to throw his face at me." ”

Jiang Henghuan was depressed and unhappy, but it didn't look like he was pretending.

"What's going on? Could it be that because of the Zhao attack on Dachang, the emperor is angry with you and your aunt? ”

Jiang Henghuan ripped off a flower alive again, implicating a green leaf and falling down.

Ping Yao reprimanded him: "If you're not happy, you're not happy, what's the anger with something?" What's the difference between this and your father? ”

Jiang Henghuan was unexpectedly aggrieved, pouted and looked at Ping Yao, and complained dissatisfiedly: "You don't know, because of the matter in Yangzhou, the palace has been talking about me and the queen mother. The recently favored Concubine Yun relied on her power to speak ill of my mother in front of my father. The father actually listened to it! Forbade my mother's feet, and don't allow me to leave Pingyang City, for fear that I will collaborate with the enemy! I have never been wronged like this since I was a child. That damn Concubine Yun doesn't look like you, why does my father trust her so much? Is my father old and confused? (To be continued.) )
