Li Zhaosheng came up with a sigh of relief, lightly put away the tea bowl that had been dumped on the table, and wiped the traces of water flowing all over the case.

Zhao Jing walked around the study with his hands behind his back: "Miao Rong has become more and more tired and sleepy recently, and she often falls asleep. I have been hoping that Doctor Meng will come to solve the mystery and rescue Miao Rong, but now this person's life and death are unknown. Isn't this the person who did it going to put Miao Rong to death! ”

Chen Ge Lao shook his head and sighed, although he was old, his still elegant and wise face seemed to have suddenly aged a lot: "Official, the minister's wonderful appearance is not blessed...... Lao Chen had always suspected that Song Hao and others had done it, but the black-clothed guards in the house and Yu Yi who were sent into the palace did not find out any clues.

Old minister, old minister really can't think of who wants to assassinate Miaorong. After all, the official family and the old minister visited the famous doctors, but they never diagnosed Miaorong's illness, and the minister, the minister can only be regarded as Miaorong's frail and unblessed......"

Zhao Jing lifted up his robe and sat down with a long sigh, frowned tightly and said to Chen Ge Lao: "Now that the Iron Blood Guard has died in his duties, the whereabouts of the divine doctor are unknown, so I can only search carefully to see if there are any clues left."

Since they killed the guards, it is very likely that the divine doctor has been taken captive, after all, such a healer remains in his hands like a life talisman. There is also the killing of a new talent in the inner palace, and the criminal department has reported that he has a sharp blade in his body and is infected with strange poison. I think at this time, I am only afraid that I will not be able to get rid of the envoys of the White Mountain Kingdom.

I have already instructed the Iron Blood Guard to inspect again, and my father-in-law should also pay attention to the movements of those Baishan Yi people outside the palace. Today, I see that the envoy of the White Mountain Kingdom is just a martial artist, but the deputy envoy is a little peculiar. ”

"The official has a good eye, and the minister can see clearly at the bottom, that Turut is rude in speech and careless in his demeanor, and he has no haste and wisdom. A deputy envoy has learned me so skillfully in words and writing, and that person has a gloomy temperament, and is quite resourceful in conversation, but I am afraid that he is not an ordinary person. Chen Ge Lao twisted his white beard under his chin and nodded in agreement.

"As long as they are behaving in the capital, I won't do anything to them. My father's name is world-famous, and I am the legacy of my stepfather, and only by personally defeating them on the battlefield is a fair victory. If a few Xiaoxiao make trouble in Beijing, I will not spare it.

Li Daban, go down with me, Hongming Hall banquet for the affairs of the envoys of Baishan must be done grandly and sumptuously, I want to let these barbarian aliens have a good look at my great Chu, so as not to sit in the well and watch the sky and look at my great Chu as nothing. ”

Zhao Jing raised his voice and instructed Li Zhaosheng, and said to Chen Ge Lao: "My father-in-law is very busy with everything, since I am here today, I will go with me to see Miaorong, she must also miss her father-in-law very much." ”

***************************************************

"Sister, sister, have you heard that the official family is going to hold a banquet in Hongming Hall to entertain the envoys of Baishan Kingdom in the past two days?" Mo Lanyi had a long talk with Zangjiao, and her spirit was much better, and she sat in Yunshu Palace with a smile and gossip with Zangjiao.

Zangjiao's makeup is refreshing today, her hair is combed into a back-cloud bun and half hanging without hairpin rings, only a handful of silver crescent crescent combs are closed, and a small dripping jade pendant is in her ears. A moon-white thin silk shirt with light blue trim, revealing a small delicate red soft satin embroidered parrot with peach toe under his feet.

Last time in Yuxiu Palace, I was only frightened and frustrated, but I didn't hurt my muscles and bones, and Dr. Mei used acupuncture and decoction to recuperate. If you have an upward heart, you will naturally be refreshed and excited.

Leaning on the back of the red sour wood rose chair, he pulled a few candied cherries and Moranyi: "Oh? My sister is getting more and more informed about this news, and I just found out about it not long ago. I heard that in addition to the queen's mother's illness, the harem concubines can go to the ceremony and feast. ”

"Yes, I heard that two of the entourages from the White Mountain Country are women, and I heard that some noble girl from the White Mountain Country is going to perform at the banquet. The people in this barbarian land are really strange that the lady of the inner house can also travel thousands of miles to show her face. Mo Lanyi chewed a cherry and shook a small fan, his eyes shining with curiosity.

"The customs and customs of Baishan country are very different from my dynasty, I heard that they can also be officials there, and the ladies and women in the boudoir do not shy away from suspicion. This time I want to perform at the banquet, but I'm afraid that I also have the heart to compete with my Da Chu daughter. Zangjiao shook her head lightly and disagreed.

Mo Lanyi tilted his head and thought about it, his eyes were gloomy: "Since they are going to come out to perform, it is nothing more than singing and dancing, I don't believe that the women there will do any piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

The ladies above the nine concubines have a noble status, so naturally they will not compete with them, but unfortunately my skills are mediocre, but I know a little bit of words. All I am good at are female red massage techniques... But they can't compare with them. It's that Yan Cairen who can sing and dance the most, but I'm afraid that she is going to be in the limelight. Flat-mouthed with a blank expression.

Zang Jiao turned her head to look at her, the jade pendant in her ear shook slightly, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a little pear vortex: "Who said that only Yan Cai is good at singing and dancing?" He'er hurriedly interjected next to him: "Mo Cairen doesn't know yet, if you talk about singing and dancing, no one can compare to my lady, and the lady's piano is also very good." ”

"What? I remember that my sister only likes to play chess and drink tea, but I never knew that my sister was also good at singing and dancing? Mo Lanyi's eyes lit up and she looked at Zangjiao.

Zangjiao looked at He'er with a misty look: "This girl has a fast mouth, but I did practice singing and dancing in the boudoir." On that day, there was a Qin lady in Pingzhou, because her family had a lawsuit and her dependents were sold by the government, and an old and wealthy businessman wanted to buy it as a concubine.

I saw that she was unwilling to fall into suicide and saved her, but her mother was a famous singer and dancer back then, so she taught me in the boudoir for a while, and then A-Niang found a good family to marry her very well.

All her skills were taught to me, and I used to practice them in my boudoir when I was young and playful, but now I am afraid that I will not be able to practice them for a long time. ”

said and sighed softly: "When I entered the palace, I just thought about living in peace, and it was not appropriate to entertain people with singing, dancing and sex, so I never said it." ”

Mo Lanyi shook her head in disagreement: "What my sister thinks is certainly right, but if you want to rise to the top now, it is better not to hide many things." Sister, I'm mediocre in talent, so don't hide it. ”

Zangjiao stared at Mo Lanyi and thought: "I remember that when we lived in the Xixing Pavilion, we once heard my sister playing the flute melodiously and beautifully, and then I never saw my sister play it. ”

"Oops, that... It's just the sound of the mountains and fields, the palace is good and elegant and silky, and this flute can't be elegant. That time, I played a song when I saw the evening breeze blowing, and my sister still remembered. Moranyi blushed and stumbled to explain.

Zangjiao leaned over and took her hand and smiled softly: "Sister, you are good at everything, but you are too thin on yourself." That day, I listened to my sister's flute melodious and pleasant, and my heart was relaxed, and I played it very well. I have an idea here, so I might as well go to my sister for details. ”

In Concubine Shu's Yuxiu Palace, Yan Qiaoyue stood delicately in front of Concubine Shu, hanging her head and looking very well-behaved.

Concubine Shu looked Yan Qiaoyue up and down: "You are becoming more and more prominent, you and I are considered to have some relatives, and I also take care of you."

Fortunately, you are angry, although you are not pregnant after going to bed, the official family also pays some attention to come to take a look. Last time, my Chang Tai'er was ignorant and disturbed your performance at the Five Poisons Banquet, you won't be resentful, right? ”

"Where did the mother say, if it wasn't for the mother's care, where would the concubine have a life like this. The eldest prince is innocent, and he thinks that the concubine must be bad at dancing to say this. Concubines only have the share of concentration and diligence, how can they have resentment. Wouldn't that be a man who does not distinguish between good and bad? Yan Qiaoyue explained with a smile.

Concubine Shu stared at her carefully for a moment, raised her eyebrows and smiled: "This is a good sister who is sensible, but this palace will not treat you badly." Do you know that a few days ago, the official family was going to entertain foreign envoys in the Hongming Palace. I have heard that the people of the White Mountains have brought two women to perform at the feast, and I will definitely recommend you to go out and overwhelm them with singing and dancing.

In this way, you can be regarded as a hero, and the official family will naturally pay more attention to you. If it's a dragon's heart, I'm afraid it will also promote your position. You see that talent is mediocre, but he has won the title with a fox face. You are now in bed, and you are just a flat-headed talent, don't you feel unwilling? ”

Speaking of Zangjiao, Yan Qiaoyue Jiaomei showed a look of jealousy and resentment on her face: "An unruly woman like a talented person, but she took advantage of some opportunities. If you talk about talent and appearance, if you talk about Niangniang, even the concubine is not inferior to her. Rest assured, the concubine must fight for some glory for Niangniang to come back this banquet. ”
