Chapter 142: Qingyun Pavilion
Emperor Dachang didn't have time to meet a group of ministers with raised eyebrows. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The abandoned ministers got together in twos and threes to discuss what had happened, so that Emperor Dachang did not come to the court.
Jiang Heng walked through the ministers at night under such circumstances.
When those ministers saw him, they hurriedly surrounded him and inquired about the news: "The eldest prince, you just came out of the harem?" Have you ever seen the emperor? β
Jiang Hengye said humbly: "I went to greet my mother and concubine, and I came back, but I didn't see my father." Ministers, wait patiently here. β
"Of course, of course."
Jiang Heng has no official position at night, and he doesn't have to go to court every day.
Therefore, he greeted the ministers and prepared to leave.
Pei Shilang greeted him and saluted Jiang Heng at night.
Jiang Heng returned the salute at night: "Sir." β
Pei Shilang said with a smile: "The palace test will be held the day after tomorrow, I don't know how His Highness has prepared?" β
Jiang Hengye said softly: "Sir, please rest assured, all the relevant matters are ready, and we will wait for the exam to start the day after tomorrow." β
Pei Shilang nodded: "Your Highness has always been steady and fair, and it is most appropriate to leave this matter to Your Highness." β
Jiang Heng said at night: "My lord praised it falsely. There are still some things in my house, so I won't talk to the adults more. β
Pei Shilang nodded.
Jiang Heng saluted at night and left with Ping Yao.
Ping Yao followed Jiang Heng into the carriage at night and left the palace smoothly all the way.
There were no tables in the carriage, let alone tea and snacks, and it was simple and simple.
Ping Yao sat opposite Jiang Hengye, watching the carriage go out of the corridor, and the sound of the carriage reverberated clearly in his ears.
Jiang Heng also quietly put his eyes outside.
"This year's palace exam, is it an invigilation by His Highness?" In the quiet carriage, Ping Yao's voice was clear.
Jiang Hengye's gaze fell on Ping Yao gently: "Yes, my father handed over this matter to me." Are you interested? β
Ping Yao nodded: "It's okay, I'm a little curious about what the palace test looks like." β
I am more curious about the ancient college entrance examination.
Jiang Hengye smiled.
This time, he smiled more naturally, like the moonlight slowly fading: "Since that's the case, then I'll take you to see it." β
Ping Yao looked at Jiang Hengye unexpectedly.
You're an invigilator and you're taking a girl, what is this for?
"Is that okay?"
What does Ping Yao mean, are the rules allowed? Won't there be any adverse effects?
Jiang Hengye nodded: "Yes." β
It's not a meaning at all, right?
Ping Yao didn't have the idea of wanting to get in touch with the eldest prince and Concubine An.
She shook her head and refused: "I still don't want to." I'm afraid that something will happen, and the emperor will blame His Highness. β
Jiang Heng's gaze on Ping Yao was gentle and calm, and he said steadily: "It's okay, my father is busy with official business, so he won't find out." β
Ping Yao, who likes to join in the fun, thought about it and nodded: "Then thank you, Your Highness." β
This is a rare opportunity, just this one. It must be grasped.
Jiang Heng smiled at Ping Yao at night and didn't speak again.
The car drove all the way, and the two never spoke again.
Ping Yao occasionally looked at Jiang Hengye, he was sitting there quietly, there was no trace of waves on his face, indifferent like moonlight.
It's a very quiet person.
After walking for more than ten minutes, the car stopped. The coachman said outside, "Your Highness, it's here." β
Jiang Heng got up at night, lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage first.
Ping Yao then lifted the curtain and walked to the wheel.
Jiang Hengye reached out to pick her up.
Ping Yao looked at the pair of bony and unusually thin hands, shook his head, and said with a smile: "I can do it myself." β
Jiang Heng didn't force it anymore at night, and watched Ping Yao step on the chair and get out of the carriage.
Ping Yao looked at the mansion in front of him, and the three big characters on the gilt plaque on the blue background were "Qing Wangfu." β
King Qing is Jiang Hengye's title.
Jiang Heng stood behind Ping Yao at night and said, "The wronged girl will live in my house for two days first. After the palace examination the day after tomorrow, I will help the girl arrange a livelihood, so that the girl can gain a foothold in Pingyang City, and I am so relieved. β
Why are they all people who want to help her arrange a living?
She doesn't know how to doppelgΓ€nger.
Ping Yao refused: "Your Highness, don't bother. I have relatives in Binh Duong City, and I can go to them. β
Jiang Heng said at night: "Then you tell me the address of your relative's house, and I will send someone over to take a look first." You have been in the palace for more than half a year, what if they move out, what will happen to you as a girl? β
What should I do, I can still starve to death?
Ping Yao was depressed. Where is she going to find a relative?
Ping Yao replied a step late, and Jiang Hengye had already spoken: "You don't have to feel uneasy, I'm not investigating you." It's just that I took you out of the palace, so I am naturally responsible for your safety. β
Ping Yao thought about it, she hadn't arranged it before, and it was impossible to find a relative to tell her lie at this time.
Then live in the Qing Palace.
A few days tour of the ancient royal palace. It was also a good experience.
Ping Yao said to Jiang Hengye with a bright smile: "You're right, it's that I didn't think it through. Is it okay for me to stay here today? Actually, I'm a distant relative of that family, so it's not good to bother rashly. I'll get ready tomorrow and I'll go back to them. β
Jiang Heng looked at Ping Yao's bright smile in the daylight, and a light smile appeared on his warm face: "As long as the girl is willing." β
In order to avoid trouble, Ping Yao asked Jiang Heng to find her a place to sleep casually at night.
Jiang Heng placed Ping Yao in the wing room of the courtyard where he lived at night.
The yard is not very big and very quiet.
Jiang Heng said at night: "I'll take you around the house." After shopping, you can have lunch. β
Ping Yao nodded: "Okay." β
The Qing Palace's mansion is not gorgeous, everything is based on simplicity. It's not even as extravagant as the Prince's Mansion.
Yun Yi is a person who will not treat himself badly.
However, Jiang Hengye, this person is very gentle and simple. I really don't care about these things.
Sure enough, the palace was quickly transferred.
At the end of the palace, there was a small courtyard, hidden among the trees. It's very quiet and secluded.
Ping Yao became interested: "Why did you build a yard in the woods?" Is there anyone living inside? β
Jiang Hengye followed behind Ping Yao and replied, "Someone." β
Ping Yao had already come to the front of the hospital.
She looked up at the courtyard in front of her.
From the outside, the yard is not big. Surrounded by stone walls, it looks like it is out of contention.
Directly above the courtyard, a plaque nailed up with a wooden board is written with paint: Qingyun Hall.
The two small wood-colored doors of the Qingyun Pavilion are ajar, so you can't see inside.
Ping Yao asked, "Who lives here?" Can I go in and have a look? β
Jiang Heng stepped forward at night, gently pushed open the door, and said to Ping Yao, "Come in." β
Ping Yao followed Jiang Hengye into the courtyard.
As its name suggests, the Qingyun Pavilion is quiet and elegant.
A small courtyard, a small two-story building built with bamboo, looks verdant at a glance.
The floor is not made of stone bricks, but made of wood, and the sound of footsteps gently echoing as you walk on it.
There are orchids planted on the wall, and the small white flowers bloom very quietly.
It's rare to be able to grow orchids so well.
Ping Yao looked at this simple, but elegant courtyard everywhere, and said, "It's so beautiful here, but why haven't you seen anyone living here?" β
As soon as Ping Yao's words fell, the small door of the bamboo building was pushed open.
A girl in blue came out of it.
The girl stood in the corridor of the bamboo building and looked in the direction of Jiang Hengye.
Clean eyebrows and eyes are gentle and delicate.
"Your Highness."
Her voice was gentle and steady, just like Jiang Hengye.
The girl in blue saluted Jiang Heng and walked down from the bamboo building.
Her eyes touched Ping Yao behind Jiang Hengye, and she spoke, "Your Highness brought a guest?" β
Then, she turned back to the bamboo building and said, "Yu'er, serve tea quickly." β
The girl in blue led Jiang Hengye and Ping Yao to the table in the courtyard: "Sit down." β
Soon, a little girl came out of the bamboo building with tea.
In the quiet yard, the fragrance of tea is overflowing.
Jiang Heng picked up the tea and took a sip of it.
The girl in blue entertained Ping Yao: "This is the orchid tea I brewed myself." I don't have any hobbies, I just like to raise flowers, especially orchids. When I had nothing to do, I figured out this tea by myself. You taste it. β
Ping Yao also picked up the cup and took a sip.
"The fragrance lingers, and the coolness is dark."
When the girl in blue heard this, she smiled slightly: "It's a good coolness." β
Ping Yao silently put down the teacup and did not answer.
Intuition told Ping Yao that the words repeated by the girl in blue meant something.
Jiang Heng also put down the teacup at night and said to Ping Yao, "Let's go." Come back when you're free. β
Ping Yao nodded.
She could see that this girl in blue liked to be quiet.
Ping Yao left after Jiang Hengye.
The girl in blue got up and sent them to the door of the Qingyun Pavilion.
The autumn wind blows down the dead leaves of the trees in front of the courtyard.
Blow up the shirt of the girl in blue.
The girl in blue had watery eyes, looked at Ping Yao, and smiled faintly: "The girl seems to like tea." If you are free, please come and sit here. β
Ping Yao nodded: "Thank you, girl, for the tea." β
The girl in blue smiled and watched Jiang Heng leave with Ping Yao at night.
The courtyard door was closed, and the fallen leaves outside were closed.
Ping Yao stepped on the thick dead leaves in the woods, and her feet were soft. Ping Yao looked at Jiang Hengye, Jiang Hengye's face was always as warm as jade, steady and calm.
Never show a hint of dissatisfaction.
However, Ping Yao obviously saw that Jiang Hengye's attitude towards the other woman was a little cold.
After walking for a long time, Ping Yao asked, "Who is that girl just now?" β
Jiang Hengye replied: "Kuang Lanjing." β
It was still a steady voice, just like the steady and gentle when I talked to Pei Shilang this morning.
There are no personal feelings.
made Ping Yao suspicious.
Quiet, quiet?
Ping Yao was a little surprised.
So, that is Jiang Hengye's concubine?
"Then you don't like this girl, that's why you're so cold to her?"
"Cold?" Jiang Heng looked at Ping Yao at night, and there was no other emotion in her clear eyes except calm, "She is just a concubine, and she was just a palace maid who took care of me before." β
In other words, his status is low, which is not enough for him to put his thoughts.
Ping Yao said: "I'm also a palace maid." β
After saying that, he walked straight away.
How is it rumored that the humble and polite prince is also a person who watches people put dishes on the plate.
But I heard Jiang Heng whispering behind Ping Yao at night: "The girl is different from her. Although the girl is a palace maid, she is not like other palace maids. If the girl was just a palace maid who only wanted wealth and stability, and had no pursuits, I don't think the girl would be with me now. β
Oh.
Ping Yao probably guessed it.
Probably because of Jiang Hengye's identity, Kuang Lanjing was bent on following him, but she didn't really like him.
Jiang Heng happened to dislike money worshippers very much.
So he was very cold to Kuang Lanjing.
Well, it's very common.
Ping Yao used to have many rich second generations, but they hated money worshippers. But they are not like Jiang Hengye, hate is hate.
They obviously hate money worshippers, and they still have to spend money on them and play with them.
When you've had enough, throw it away.
It's better than Jiang Heng's night.
The two went back the way they came, going to the front yard for lunch.
The ancients paid attention to face. The meal is a standard banquet banquet. The menu is sumptuous, and there are all kinds of cuisines.
Ping Yao was quite satisfied when she saw so many dishes.
The food is also very serious.
Jiang Hengye is not a talkative person, seeing that Ping Yao is eating happily, he has not spoken to disturb Ping Yao.
Therefore, on the dinner table, only the sound of cups and saucers colliding remains.
Halfway through eating, a small servant suddenly walked in outside.
The little servant walked to Jiang Hengye's side and whispered beside Jiang Hengye: "Your Highness, someone from the palace asked you to enter the palace right now." β
At this time?
Ping Yao ate the fish on the chopsticks, and quietly thought about the reason why he hurriedly called Jiang Heng to enter the palace at night.
Jiang Heng was not flustered at night. He took the tea handed by Yahuan, rinsed his mouth, and washed his hands again.
The action is smooth but fast.
After cleaning up, Jiang Hengye looked at Ping Yao at the dinner table: "You eat slowly." Just tell the housekeeper what you want to do. β
In these words, there are a lot of privileges given to Ping Yao.
Ping Yao smiled faintly: "I'll go to Pingyang City in the afternoon, and by the way, find that distant relative of mine." β
Jiang Heng was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded: "Okay." But even if you find it, come and tell me about it, so that I can rest assured. β
"This is natural."
Jiang Heng didn't speak again at night, and left with the little servant.
Ping Yao looked at the direction Jiang Hengye left, was quiet for a while, sighed, and then continued to eat.
There are not many people in the Qing Palace, but they are all polite, and they are also very good to Ping Yao, a guest of unknown origin.
Ping Yao was worried about whether something was going on in the palace, and she had to go out after eating.
Jiang Heng was sent to take care of her at night, and the maid hurriedly asked, "Do you want to find someone to protect the girl?" β
Ping Yao shook her head.
She is not an enemy all over the place, let alone an official with a piercing identity, who wants someone to protect.
"Then I'll go out with the girl, and find another coachman." Binh Duong City is so big, it's not good if you get lost. β
The Qing Palace's palace was very close to the imperial palace. Even if they get lost and find a random person, they must know where Dachang Palace is, right?
Ping Yao shook her head.
"But the girl goes out alone, in case of trouble, how can you make the master feel at ease. Not to mention that you are a young lady, even if you are a son, our master is also waiting for people. β
Ping Yao thought for a while and said, "Then give me some silver." I don't have a penny on me. β
Yahuan shut up.
What's this weird? I'm afraid we won't give you money, what's the matter? There is no shortage of pocket money for guests in the Qing Palace, right? (To be continued.) )
