Chapter 253: Rumors

At night, Emperor An came out of the side hall of the new talents, and when he sat on the imperial chariot, he felt physically and mentally exhausted. When will such days end?

Wang Zhe walked next to the imperial chariot and intimately instructed the little chamberlain to go to the imperial kitchen to deliver a message and prepare ginseng soup for the emperor.

"Sir, did Xiao Si send a letter back?" When the imperial chariot arrived at the Chongzheng Palace, Emperor Zhi'an took Wang Zhe's hand out of the imperial chariot and asked.

Wang Zhe smiled flatteringly: "Your Majesty, the prince of Jin is not thinking about it at this time, how could he have thought that the palace is piled up with twists and turns, and a lot of government affairs are waiting for him to deal with?" ”

Even if there is news, he will hide it, how will he tell Emperor Zhi'an?

Emperor Zhi'an frowned and said, "How can he be so indiscriminate? ”

"The emperor doesn't know? It is rumored that the prince of Jin is the reincarnation of the nine-tailed fox, and he came specifically for the love of the previous life. Your Majesty, do you think, in all dynasties, is there any prince who has only one princess and no side concubine? He is clearly here for the princess of Jin, where does he care about the emperor's anxious government affairs, and where does he care about the people of Limin? A minister who does not share worries for the monarch and does not solve problems for the people, who is a good courtier? ”

"Nine-tailed fox?" It was the first time Emperor Zhi'an heard this statement, and said curiously: "Who said this?" ”

Of course, it was he Wang Zhe who said it, he discussed with Sun Hua for a long time, and finally found such a reason to smear Zhou Heng. Of course, he couldn't say this in front of Emperor Zhi'an, he said with an innocent look: "The old slave doesn't know. However, according to the old slave's thoughts, this statement is really similar, King Jin is so handsome, not to mention that he is the first beautiful man in Beijing, that is, Dajia Chaozhong, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find a second man more handsome than him. ”

Of course, foxes also have males. Otherwise, how would the fox pass on the lineage? But the world just feminizes foxes.

Emperor Zhi'an thought about it, smiled, and said, "Xiaosi is indeed good-looking. It can't be that someone is jealous of his good looks and deliberately said so, right? When he returns, I'm going to make fun of him. ”

In this way, it still can't dispel Emperor An's trust in Zhou Heng? Wang Zhe was speechless.

However, one day, the rumor that King Jin was a nine-tailed fox spread in Beijing, and many ladies who had heard of King Jin for a long time were vying to see Zhou Heng's true face, guessing how handsome he was to be worthy of the title of "Nine-Tailed Fox".

Zhou Heng, who was in Daxing Grange, read the letter sent from Beijing. Smiled coldly.

"What's wrong?" Cui Keyin held Lele's little hand. teasing him, he caught a glimpse of Zhou Heng's appearance out of the corner of his eye, and asked strangely.

Zhou Heng handed her the letter.

Cui Keyin took the letter, and Lele's little hand waved over. I wanted to wave the white piece of paper between him and his mother. The paper flickered. Cui Keyin has finished reading the content. Return the letter to Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng took the letter, and when he saw Cui Keyin staring at him with interest, he smiled. Said: "Where am I like a fox?" Or is it the Nine-Tails? ”

Cui Keyin smiled and pointed behind him and said, "Why not, I clearly saw the nine tails behind you." ”

Lu Ying, who served in the room, pursed her lips and smiled, and felt out of shape again, so she was busy standing upright.

Zhou Heng said: "So, I not only know the immortal law, but also fly to the sky?" ”

"Very likely." Cui Keyin said seriously, and the two laughed at the same time.

After laughing for a while, Zhou Heng got up and sat down at the table to write a letter, and then handed it to the person who came, and said, "Send it back to the capital quickly." ”

After another two days, the children in Beijing sang all over the street: "The stars change, Ann will fall, and Heng will prosper." ”

To Emperor An's name, needless to say, An refers to Emperor An, and Hang Seng refers to Zhou Heng. This means that Zhou Heng will replace Emperor An.

Cui Zhenyi heard this ballad on the way to the court, his face turned white, and he didn't go home, so he immediately let the carriage go out of the city and rushed to Daxing.

In the past few days in Daxing, Cui Keyin has taken time to visit tenants every day. As soon as she leaves the ashram, a group of children led by Iron Head will follow, competing for snacks and sweets. In addition to reading the letters from the capital every day, Zhou Heng was by her side, and the two relaxed to their heart's content, often holding hands and strolling on the ridges.

When Cui Zhenyi arrived, the two were not in the house, and Lu Ying was busy asking people to find them.

There is a peach grove next to the grange, and peach trees are planted all over it. At this time, the branches were full of small flower buds, but the peach blossoms never bloomed. Cui Keyin brushed the branches of a peach tree with her slender hand and said, "If spring comes, you will be able to taste fresh peaches." ”

There are only a few peach trees in Biyunju, which is of course incomparable with the peach forests here. Moreover, the peach tree is planted in Biyunju, and she does not disturb Director Zhou Heng, and she does not often go inside, so there are very few opportunities to appreciate peach blossoms, and there are not many peaches.

"If you like, I'll come with you next spring." Zhou Heng said with a smile.

The weather is cold, Cui Keyin has always been steady, and she can't do anything intimate in this wilderness, but holding her hand, letting go of her thoughts, talking about it, and making her physically and mentally happy.

Cui Keyin's eyes wandered and said, "Really? ”

"Seriously." Zhou Heng said, gently scratching Cui Keyin's palm.

Cui Keyin was afraid of itching, so she laughed and retracted her hand. In recent months, Zhou Heng has been very busy, and there is very little time to accompany her, so there has been no time to be together every day for a long time. Besides, this place is not as good as the Jin Palace, as long as you leave the Purple Smoke Pavilion, there will be a large group of people to follow, and it is not as good as when you are a girl, you have to obey the rules all the time. Cui Keyin really feels very comfortable here, and hopes to stay here for a longer time.

A guard walked quickly, saw the two of them from a distance, quickened his pace and saluted, and said, "Lord Cui, princess, Lord Cui is here." ”

Zhou Heng and Cui Keyin glanced at each other and said in unison: "Is he coming alone, or is someone else coming?" ”

The guard said, "Master Cui came alone. ”

The two of them walked towards the house together.

There was the last peach tree in front of him, and a slight sound of breaking the air came, and Zhou Heng pulled Cui Keyin to turn and flash, and a crossbow arrow was inserted into the ground at his feet.

The guards were shocked and shouted, "Who?!" ”

The peach grove was silent, and no one answered.

Zhou Heng pointed to the right, and the guard flew over.

Zhou Heng looked at Cui Keyin in his arms, but saw her looking over nervously, and said, "Can it hurt?" ”

"Nope." Zhou Heng said: "Have you ever been frightened? ”

Cui Keyin shook her head, looked at him back and forth, left and right, and confirmed that he was not injured, before relieving.

The guard brought over a young man of seventeen or eighteen, who was handsome, with a small crossbow in his hand, and looked up stubbornly at the guard who was carrying his collar.

The guards threw the young man to the ground, saw that the young man fell and ate, and then hugged Zhou Heng and said, "Lord Wang, it was this young man who shot a crossbow arrow." ”

The young man got up from the ground and said, "Are you the King of Jin?" ”

Zhou Heng nodded: "I am the King of Jin, who are you?" ”

The young man said, "My name is Xiao Rong." I heard that King Jin is good-looking, so I came to take a look. As he spoke, he took two steps closer, looked up at Zhou Heng carefully, and said, "It really looks good." ”

Zhou Heng said seriously: "Thank you for the compliment, I really look good." ”

What is this called? Cui Keyin couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "Let's go, the eldest uncle must have something urgent." (To be continued.) )
