Chapter 70: Seeing the Way

In the hall of the Taoist temple, Xuan Zhenzi retreated with people, leaving only the king of Dongping County and Shao Mingqing.

Shao Mingqing squatted on the ground to clean up the broken tea bowl and watched the robe in front of him shake.

The king of Dongping County has not said a word since he dropped the tea bowl.

"Your Highness, don't worry, I wasn't sent by the Xie family." He said, "I will not participate in any alchemy. ”

The robe in front of him shook, revealing dark boots and walked away, and a cold male voice floated down overhead.

"That's just what you think, you came out of the Xie family and entered the door here, and you have implicated the Xie family and here all your life."

Shao Mingqing hung his head and was silent.

"Then you can only abandon her, and you turn your back on the Xie family." Dongping County King said.

"Yes." Shao Mingqing said, "Although there is a splash of wealth, but Shao Mingqing is still unwilling to get rich, can only seek a way out by himself, childhood sweethearts have broken off their love, since I entered Beijing, I have not interacted with the Xie family, let alone with the sisters of the Xie family." ”

There was a moment of silence in the room.

"Although I don't know what's going on." King Dongping said, "However, you did leave her behind. ”

There is no way to go, but in the end, it is not a choice of how to go.

And he still chose to leave, even if it was for her good, he still left her.

Shao Mingqing clenched the porcelain piece in his hand, and heard footsteps in his ears and walked away.

There is a small Taoist probe outside the door.

"Mingqing, Your Highness is gone." He ran in. "I'll clean it up for you."

Shao Mingqing did not refuse, and the surprised voice of the little Taoist priest sounded in the room.

"You've broken your hand."

"It's okay, it's okay." Shao Mingqing smiled at him gratefully.

"You also know the king of Dongping County." The little Taoist priest asked curiously.

"Well, I was originally in the Xie family, and His Royal Highness the King of the County participated in the Xie Jiadan Maiden Festival on March 3." Shao Mingqing said.

The little Taoist priest was even more curious, even if the king of Dongping County went to participate in the third day of March, not everyone in the Xie family could know the king of Dongping County.

"My family and the Xie family are old relatives, and my aunt married into the Xie family."

"Playing with my sisters, the original family meant to let me get rich...."

There seemed to be some gaffes at this point, Shao Mingqing stopped talking and picked up the rag on the side.

"There's Senior Brother Lao. I'll wipe the ground. He said.

The little Taoist priest saw that he had diverted the topic. didn't ask again, smiled and took out the broken porcelain, less than a day, everyone in the Taoist temple knew that Shao Mingqing had escaped the marriage designated by the family. I didn't want to give the Xie family a lot of money to come here to be a Taoist priest.

"What's so bad about getting rich. The Xie family is so wealthy. ”

"His family is not poor. It is said to be a big salt merchant. ”

"It's a concubine bought in Fireworks Alley, and she has no status in the family."

"No wonder he was able to follow the Xie family into Beijing last time, it turned out that he was raised as a son-in-law."

"Now I don't want to be a son-in-law and run away. It's really torn up with the Xie family, and only hiding here can protect him. ”

This kind of discussion spread in the Taoist temple, and everyone's doubts about Shao Mingqing's origin dissipated, and more people were a little more close and easy-going to Shao Mingqing, so they didn't mention it later.

And here, the king of Dongping County left without waiting for Xuan Zhenzi to wash his dust.

"Your Majesty summoned His Highness back this time, if it was just the Mid-Autumn Festival, he would definitely say a reason, not like not saying anything this time." The scribe frowned and followed him, "Although Xuan Zhenzi only asks about state affairs, he knows the emperor's mind the most. ”

This is questioning whether he should not have inquired about Gen Zhenzi first.

"No need to ask, I probably know what's going on." The king of Dongping said, "Regarding the matter of the First Emperor Ding, His Royal Highness must have other ideas. ”

"Is it the Xie family?" The scribe asked.

The king of Dongping County hummed.

"Go and ask Zhou Chengzhen what he's been doing lately?" He continued.

The scribe was stunned.

Speaking of the Xie family, why did you turn to Zhou Chengzhen again?

"It's nothing special, it's just those chickens and dogs who are fighting and making trouble." He said.

"Are you going to provoke the children of the Xie family again?" Dongping County King said.

Xuan Zhenzi said that he was going to send sandalwood to the second miss of the Xie family, and the second miss liked the sandalwood here.

If you haven't sent it before, how can you say that you like it, just say the first sentence is enough.

The scribe was stunned.

"Oh this, I'll let them ask right away." He said.

The king of Dongping did not speak again, and went into the house to meet the king and his wife, and accompanied his parents to return to their residence after dinner.

The scribe had already found out about Zhou Chengzhen.

"Sure enough, as His Royal Highness expected, the prince sent eight catties to Pengshui and sent a box of sandalwood to the second miss of the Xie family." He said, pausing here, "The second lady replied to the prince. ”

The king of Dongping County hummed and took the tea handed by the maid.

"So in the past few days, the prince has been running to Xuan Zhenzi's side every day to fight the autumn wind." The scribe smiled, "In the end, it is the prince of the world, who sent a congratulatory gift in the past, how can I return the gift." ”

King Dongping held the teacup and did not speak.

"If you think it's inappropriate, Your Highness might as well write a letter to the second miss of the Xie family to say it, so that she doesn't have to worry about the identity of the prince, and she can ignore it." The scribe said, as he spoke, he walked to the front of several cases, and he actually wanted to start grinding the ink.

The king of Dongping came back to his senses and smiled.

"I told her what to do, even though she was a child, she didn't need me to point fingers." He said, looking at the pen and paper on several cases, "Go and ask, what happened to the Xie family a while ago." ”

"Wouldn't it be better for His Highness to ask Second Miss directly?" The scribe said tactfully.

They inquired about the Xie family's family affairs in private, and when the second lady knew about it, they inevitably became wary and questioned.

The little girls are the most thoughtful age.

"I asked her, she would say it if she wanted to, but she didn't want to say it, and she had to think about how to shirk it, and she was worried about my identity." The king of Dongping said, "I can inquire about it myself." Just ask herself, if she wants to say it, just let her be comfortable. ”

After saying that, the king of Dongping put down the tea bowl, got up and walked to the front of a few cases, and picked up the scroll.

Having said that, people like His Royal Highness have never whispered to anyone in his life, let alone taken the initiative to curry favor, and took the initiative to send two letters to the second miss of the Xie family one after another, but only got an alienated reply, and his Royal Highness would never take the initiative to write a third letter.

The scribe bowed his head and retired. When he went out, he called a guard.

"What's going on with the yellow medicine? It's better to do things than a person who doesn't have long hair! He scolded.

The guards were scolded and wiped their sweat.

"How can anyone force someone to write a letter. This kind of thing can only be done by the prince of the world. He smiled wryly.

That's right, Huang Yao really wants to do this, and in the end, it didn't press on the head of the county king, and it was...

The scribe laughed to himself again. Shake your head.

"Go ahead. Ask Peng Shui Xie what happened to his family a while ago. He said.

The guards replied.

"What the hell is going on?"

Princess Xianrong stepped into the mansion of Fang Ziyuan of Wenchangbo's mansion. The face is long and long.

"Why do you have to let me come to him? Still using the queen mother to force me? Because I was not born to a queen, should I be instructed by you at will? ”

The people of Wenchangbo Mansion looked embarrassed.

"Princess, it's not like that. It's really Uncle Seven, he can't make trouble. Mrs. Wenchang Boshizi said with tears in her eyes, "I just said that I wanted to see the princess for the last time." ”

Princess Xianrong's face was gloomy.

"What are you doing with me? If you want to be a princess, don't beat my mind. She said.

The crowd was even more embarrassed.

"No, no." Mrs. Wenchang Bo Shizi said in a low voice, "Princess, in fact, the day before yesterday, Uncle Seven brought two women back......"

Bring the woman back? Two more!

Princess Xianrong's eyes widened.

"Maybe I want to ask the princess to help me say good things to the queen," said the princess in a low voice.

Princess Xianrong looked suspicious.

"I'm only fifteen years old this year, and I haven't said kiss yet, Fang Ziyuan is with me?" She glared and said, "Am I that familiar with him?" ”

She has a bad temper, the queen doesn't like her, and Fang Ziyuan, as the queen's mother's family, is famous for her exaggeration, they often don't say much, let alone talk about such private things...

Fang Ziyuan has been abnormal since he was frightened by the second lady of the Xie family, Wu Wu.

The witch dance of the second lady of the Xie family.

At that time, it was only the two of them who were frightened by Wu Wu, maybe this was Fang Ziyuan who felt that he and himself had become his own people?

Bah! It's not a glorious thing!

Princess Xianrong's face was a little more ugly, and she looked at the closed courtyard door in front of her, and she was angry.

"Open the door!" She shouted.

Inside, he repeatedly confirmed that Princess Xianrong was coming, so he opened half of the door, but only let Princess Xianrong enter, and the angry Princess Xianrong kicked open the little guy guarding the door and rushed in.

"Fang Ziyuan, what the hell are you doing, I'll sue you, don't pull me on for your" she shouted angrily, and as soon as she entered the house, she saw a girl rushing towards her.

The girl's face broke into Princess Hyunrong's sight, and immediately coincided with the overwhelming mountain in the nightmare.

Princess Xianrong couldn't help but scream to hide her face.

The girl in front of her knelt down and hugged her legs.

"Princess, it's me." Xie Rouhui cried.

Princess Xianrong only felt that her legs and feet were numb, and she couldn't stand still.

"You, what do you want to do? Why are you here again? She screamed.

"Princess, princess, it's me, I'm Megumi." Xie Rouhui said, raised her hand, and revealed the bracelet on her arm, "Look at the bracelet you gave me, you told me on the boat that this is the emperor's reward for you, and you also said that when you were a child, a palace maid fed you medicine and harmed you, these words were all you said to me, only I know, and I don't dare to say it to others." ”

Princess Xianrong gradually calmed down and looked at the girl kneeling at her feet.

These words are indeed what I said to Xie Rouhui, involving royal secrets, I shouldn't tell others, not to mention... She looked at the girl again.

The girl described the wolf as bèi, crying pear blossoms with rain, kneeling reverently, holding her legs tightly, and raising her arms, her eyes full of pleading, just like the dog raised by the Queen Mother.

"Your Majesty, since our Xie family is just a dancing person in your eyes, why do you want us to enter Beijing, why do you treat each other so politely!"

"Your Majesty, you don't have to check and ask again, and you don't have to think about all parties, Fang Ziyuan is Xie Shi Roujia, I shot and injured me, I plead guilty and accept punishment, but I will dispose of it."

"Okay, I'll let the princess see today how the Xie family's witch dance is different from Zhang Lihua's witch dance."

The girl turned in front of her, her back straight, and her momentum was imposing.

Princess Hsien Rong sighed.

She's not her.

"Megumi, why are you here? Didn't you say that it was the second lady who came? She took the outstretched hand, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Why do you look like that?" What's wrong? (To be continued......)
