Chapter 82: Ghost Hunting
According to the etiquette law, it's just that Han Qingya, the lady of the Shangjia family, can't let the third-grade master Guozi Priest Restaurant Miss stop on the road to avoid it.
Han Qingya, who had just coaxed Emperor Shenwu to change her mind, suddenly blushed and red-faced, her back was tense, and her eyes shot out of irrepressible humiliation and resentment, she no longer wanted to be ignored and ridiculed like she was, and she only knew the happiness when she fell into the trough.
I also miss the taste of being a human being.
"Send a letter to Mo Xinqing."
Han Qingya looked at the direction in which Ah Jiu left, "No matter what method she uses, she must hold Mo Xinyi back, as long as she helps me do this, I will never forget her benefits, and I will definitely repay her in the future." ”
"Isn't Miss looking too highly of her? Niangniang and the young master can win Princess Hezhen for you, and the musicians and dancers invited are the best in the empire. Although the queen mother is a princess and Zhen, there is a young master to help you win the letter of His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely move the queen mother, in the heart of the queen mother, no one is more important than His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
Han Qingya's brother was hit hard, and this time Han Qingya won the opportunity to dance the blessing dance, which was their only hope for rising.
For this reason, he dedicated all his remaining strength to His Royal Highness the Prince, so that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would persuade the Queen to force Princess Zhen to give up.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince accepted the benefits, but also doubted the intentions of the Han family brothers and sisters, but the prince's advisers were subordinate to Jian Yi, so he might as well take this opportunity to collect the Han prince, so as to prove to Emperor Shenwu that the prince is benevolent, values friendship, and cares for and loves his half-brother.
Moreover, the silver and connections offered by the Han family are also lacking by His Royal Highness the Prince.
Even if Emperor Shenwu cherishes Han Qingya again, it will not affect the overall situation, and everyone understands that it is impossible for Han Gongzi to restore his surname in this life.
With both benefits and fame and fortune, the prince naturally asked the queen mother to persuade Princess Hezhen to give up, but Hezhen refused, so the prince and the queen let Hezhen deal with the matter by himself. refused to help Princess Hezhen in the slightest.
Although Princess Hezhen is the most beloved princess of the emperor and the most favored princess, she also needs the queen's permission to leave the palace.
There was no free access to the court. There is no one around who can help, and Zhen can't catch up with Han Qingya, who is desperate.
Han Qingya forced Princess Hezhen to a desperate situation. Unexpectedly, Princess Hezhen actually found Mo Xinyi!
What I didn't expect was that Mo Xinyi was very likely to help Princess Hezhen. "The slave maid looks at her as a fool, Princess Hezhen is arrogant and arrogant, she just wants to help Princess Hezhen, she is not like the young lady raised by Mrs. Jiang at all, impulsive and willful, I don't know how thick the sky is, and I think I can compare to the world's first pianist?" "You know what?!"
Han Qingya motioned to the maidservants beside her to shut up. "I used to look down on her, thinking that she was just relying on Jiang Shoufu's residual power. Although he is smart, he has not yet reached the end of the day, and his temperament is undecided, but after the phoenix banquet, anyone who looks down on Mo Xinyi is a fool! I don't want to lose in her hands again, this time is the most critical battle for our Han family to stay in the imperial capital, success will continue to enjoy glory and wealth, defeat will ...... Gray went to a remote place to survive. ”
Her gaze was determined, her fists clenched. He said fiercely: "I will not allow any mistakes. ”
******
Mo Xinqing, who was recuperating from his injuries, received a message from Han Qingya and was stunned for a while, "Could it be that this is the arrangement of fate?" Does God have to let me and my ninth sister decide the winner? ”
Cui'er holds a soup bowl full of bird's nest. "Miss Nine can't compare to you. News came from the south that after receiving your letter, everyone Cai had already set off to the imperial capital. Mr. Han, please come to Mr. Qin, the world's first pianist, you have found the Cai family who has lived in seclusion for many years for Miss Han, and Miss Nine can't catch up with them even if she is a genius in the sky. ”
Cai is the first dancer in the empire, and being able to be commensurate with everyone proves that she has long since gotten rid of the lowly dancer and become a dance master.
Ordinary dancers, singers have been reduced to playthings. But the real dance masters are very famous guests.
Cai's family has lived in seclusion for many years, not that Mo Xinqing used some means. and finding the long-lost dance music, it is impossible for her to go out of the mountains to help.
"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. I don't want to be taken advantage of by the ninth sister because I am too confident, this time...... This time I can't afford to lose either. ”
The loophole last time has not been filled, in case this time to support Han Qingya on a business trip, Mo Xinqing doesn't know how to face them...... Even if her master is willing to open the net...... The person who can call the shots over there will not necessarily give face to the master.
If she fails again this time, she will not only lose the power and hidden power that she has so hard won in her hands, but also may become a 'beauty' dedicated to Emperor Shenwu or nobles, completely lose her freedom, and become a tool for them to exchange benefits.
This is absolutely unacceptable to Mo Xinqing.
How much did it cost her to break free from the 'beauty trick'?
"I can't despise the ninth sister, I have to find a way to make the ninth sister have no heart to care about Princess Hezhen."
Mo Xinqing asked, "The old lady invited the old nun and hasn't left yet?" "Yes, I don't know what they muttered, but the old lady almost drove everyone around her away."
"Help me to the old lady's room."
"Yes."
Cui'er put down the soup bowl and helped Mo Xinqing get up.

"Mother." Ah Jiu pulled Jiang Shi with a smile and praised: "You look so good today." ”
“……”
Jiang Shi was not deceived by Ah Jiu's rhetoric, and said lightly: "What did you do? ”
Ah Jiu stuck out his tongue, "Mother, I just promised to help Duke He Zhen compose the song, and I can't do anything else if I want to." ”
"Just arrangement?" Jiang Shi was amused by Ah Jiu, "Do you know that the world's No. 1 pianist has lived in a cold house?" I don't know which master will emerge behind Han Qingya, your grandfather just sent a letter. ”
Jiang Shi handed the letter to Ah Jiu, "I don't talk about you, you can read it yourself." ”
Ah Jiu opened the letter, skimmed it quickly, and smiled: "Mother, my grandfather didn't say that he wouldn't let me help Princess Hezhen, he didn't say a word...... Don't fight, don't fight......"
Holding his head in both hands, away from Jiang's, Ah Jiu emphasized pitifully, "It's really not." ”
"Little scoundrel!"
Jiang is angry and funny.
"Only by playing with the master can we make progress." Ah Jiu's eyes were bright and full of fighting spirit, "I'm getting more and more interested in this competition." ”
"Didn't you go to the blessing dance? Even if Princess Hezhen wins Han Qingya. What benefits do you get? ”
"Mother."
Ah Jiu Zhengse said: "Just think about the gains and losses, you don't have to do anything." I don't really like Miss Han, but that's not the main reason why I helped Princess Hezhen. I think I should help Princess Hezhen and not ask for benefits. She may also be my friend. ”
"Are you with Princess Hezhen?" Jiang Shi said in surprise, "How did you come up with the idea of befriending Princess Hezhen?" I remember that you disliked the most disliked noble girl who ignored the rules and could whip at every turn by virtue of her status. “
"I still don't like her this, but this is just the temperament side of Princess Zhen, I will persuade her when I have the chance."
What Ah Jiu decided, even the Jiang family would be difficult to change, "Your grandfather said that even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has given up Princess Hezhen." ”
"That's why I should help her."
"Aren't you afraid of offending His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Mother tested me again. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can not help Princess Hezhen for the sake of Prince Han. Princess Hezhen won Han Qingya with her own strength, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Queen Mother will also be very happy. No matter who wins or loses in the outcome, it is impossible for Prince Han to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to spit out the collected money and power and return it to him. Princess Hezhen won, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be more at ease with Prince Han, and the Han family and Concubine Li have completely lost hope of making a comeback. ”
"That is, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to save face, if he meets a cheeky person, take advantage of it, and help Princess Zhen, can Young Master Han still go to His Majesty to shout grievances?"
Ah Jiu's eyes flashed, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ...... Such a good name. Emphasizing faith is not necessarily a good thing.
People who have been emperors since ancient times are ruthless. Thick black, backtracking is essential.
With the old and strong Emperor Shenwu on the crown prince's head and ambitious younger brothers under him, Ah Jiu couldn't help but wonder if the prince could ascend to the throne of God in the past, and there would be no good people when he became emperors.
Jiang Shi rubbed his forehead and said weakly: "I can't talk about you, but you lost." Don't cry to me, and don't expect me and your father. And your grandfather to help you. ”
"It's my own business, just watch."
She never thought of making Princess Hezhen the top priority of the Mo family or Jiang Shoufu. Even if the Jiang family doesn't say it, she won't let the elders get involved too deeply, although there are some political factors behind this competition, but after all, it is only a contest and competition between the two daughters of Emperor Shenwu.
Which side is too deeply involved, Emperor Shenwu will definitely hate which side.
Emperor Shenwu has a factory guard in hand, what can he hide from him?
Jiang Shi saw that Ah Jiu's brows were furrowed, but the corners of his mouth were faintly curved into a smile, and he asked resignedly, "What did your little head think of?" ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's little test this time...... Well, the results weren't great. ”
"This ......"
"Mother, I'll go and read the music first."
Ah Jiu left happily, "Call me at dinner, didn't you say that you made something delicious?" Give me more to make up for it. ”
"This girl!"
Jiang smiled helplessly, and instructed Qi's mother beside her, "According to what she said, make more of what she likes to eat, in the past few days, try not to disturb her, so that she can't make songs, blame me." ”
"Miss Nine won't."
"Hmph."
Jiang Shi took a sip of warm tea, "I won't tell her that even if you lose, you will still be honored, and if you lose, you will lose." Ah Jiu...... Let's put it aside for the time being, I'm more worried about what the old lady will make trouble over there? No news? ”
Mother Qi looked embarrassed, shook her head and didn't reply.
"Keep an eye on it."
"Yes, ma'am."
*******
Dongchang Fanzi knelt in front of Emperor Shenwu to reply to the news, Emperor Shenwu's face pulled out two dark shadows, the candle flame next to him jumped, Emperor Shenwu slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were brighter than the fire candle for a moment, and asked, "How is the imperial sister's health?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is getting better."
"Is there any news about the bamboo flute repertoire played by Mo Xinyi?"
"The minions are doing their best to verify."
Emperor Shenwu lowered his head, the Buddha beads on his wrist were crystal clear, "I will get the answer the fastest." ”
"Yes."
"Prince ......"
Emperor Shenwu paused for a moment and continued, "Let's take a look for the time being. ”
Ma Gonggong quietly raised his head, sent away the fan who returned the news, and took the tea cup and offered it, "Your Majesty." ”
"I raised the prince too well, I don't look like me at all!"
“……”
Ma Gonggong didn't dare to reply, he couldn't hear Emperor Shenwu's nagging, if the prince was two-faced, ruthless, and unscrupulous to achieve the goal, Emperor Shenwu could tolerate a prince like himself?
"It's hard to fight the country, and it's even more difficult to sit on the country."
Emperor Shenwu sighed lonely, "After my brother-in-law left, no one would talk to me, and no one would teach me how to do it...... Hey, I hope the prince can be like Prince Lu Yun of Eastern Liao...... Since my son is not angry, I can only be this wicked person, so as to keep the foundation I have worked so hard to build. ”
Ma Gonggong knew that Emperor Shenwu didn't need other people's opinions, and the emperor was afraid that he had found a good reason for himself.
"Destiny to raise ...... in the sky"
"Your Majesty, he's still sick, I'm afraid he won't be able to serve His Majesty for a while."
"I know you love him!"
Emperor Shenwu hesitated for a moment, and his eyes fell on Lu Tianyang's excerpt, "That's it, I have really embarrassed him over the years, changing people is like changing knives, I hope this new knife will be sharper, and I also hope that Lu Tianyang can make new contributions to me." ”
Once Lu Tianyang fails to meet Emperor Shenwu's hope, the merits he has made for Emperor Shenwu in the past will be useless, and Lu Tianyang will be completely abandoned by Emperor Shenwu.

In the middle of the moon, in the quiet of the night, there was a terrible scream in the backyard of the Mo house, and in an instant, the candles in the backyard were brilliant and bright as day.
"Old lady,"
"Mother."
The eldest man and the eldest lady of the long house, who were the first to rush over, surrounded the sweaty old lady, "Do you have a nightmare?" ”
The old lady pointed to the ground in the house, "Blood, blood, second child...... How did you get so much blood? Are you going to feel sorry for your mother? Dick ...... Dick ...... You are gone, who do you let your mother rely on, the Mo family is counting on you! ”
Uncle Mo looks older than his actual age because of years of hard work, his hands are covered with calluses formed during farming in the early years, his face is full of wind and frost, and his skin is rough and dark, even if he has not cultivated for many years, he has not maintained his skin. "Mother, there's nothing."
He is honest and honest, very filial to God, and listens to his pungent wife, "The second brother rests well in the house, how can he bleed?" ”
"Confused, the second child gave me a dream, this is the Buddha's warning."
The old lady patted the side of the kang and cried: "You are all blind, you can't see the second child bleeding all over his face?" My son...... My son. ”
The eldest lady cleverly wiped her tears and secretly pinched the eldest master, "I think it is because my mother has worshiped the Buddha sincerely in the past few days, and the Buddha has appeared, which foreshadows the danger in advance." The mother has a deep relationship with the Buddha, and she is worried about the second brother before she can move the Buddha. ”
Mo Guanjie and the Jiang family also rushed over when they got the news, and when they heard this when they entered the door, Mo Guanjie frowned, "Sister-in-law is very talking, the son is silent and confused, you follow your mother, it will only make your mother more afraid." ”
"Second brother, this is a bad omen, and my mother is also for you!"
"Mother!"
The old lady's body was tense and fell straight on the kang, her eyes widened, and she said in a chattering voice: "The emperor is in danger, the second child leaves quickly, leave quickly." ”
With a pop, all the candles in the room were extinguished, and there was a faint sound of Buddha chanting for a moment...... Ah Jiu was dressed and stood at the door, this atmosphere was really good, the old lady was talented. (To be continued)
