------Off topic------
She didn't care about walking the steps of the Spirit Bird Terrace, but threw out the brocade of the sky and jumped down the pillar of the Spirit Bird Terrace.
She immediately sniffed carefully, and the scent of medicine came from the northwest. And there is the Imperial Garden.
She forced herself to calm down, her eyes swept around the Spirit Bird Terrace, and suddenly she smelled a faint medicinal fragrance, which she was familiar with. It was the Ganoderma lucidum pill that his grandfather gave to Qin Zheng, as long as he took it out, it would exude a fragrance.
If there was no Qin Zheng in Lingque Terrace, where did he go?
In the eye, the Lingque Terrace was empty, and there were refreshments and fruit plates on the table that had not been removed. She swept around, but she didn't see Qin Zheng, and there was no movement around. Her heart couldn't help but sink.
After a while, she arrived at the Spirit Sparrow Terrace and rushed straight in.
Xie Fanghua immediately left him and walked towards the Spirit Bird Terrace.
Qin Zheng really went to the Spirit Bird Terrace.
"Second son Zheng?" The little eunuch saw that Xie Fanghua was dressed gorgeously, although he didn't know her, he also guessed which young lady or noble master it should be. He nodded, "Half an hour ago, the second son of Zheng went to the Lingque Terrace, you are ......"
On the way, she met a little eunuch, she seemed to be lost, grabbed the little eunuch and asked, "Have you seen the second son of Zheng?" ”
When Xie Fanghua thought of this, he immediately headed towards the Spirit Bird Terrace.
And the Lingque Terrace is the only place to go to the queen's bedroom.
When Qin Zheng entered the palace, the emperor had not yet descended to the court, and it was impossible for the emperor to go all the way to the imperial garden to summon him. As for the imperial study, it will not be convenient for the queen to send women to do anything. After all, it was a forbidden place for women. There is only one place, and the emperor will meet Qin Zheng at Lingque Terrace.
Xie Fanghua stood in place and looked at all directions of the palace for a moment. Thinking in my head. Qin Zheng entered the palace to meet the emperor. The emperor had three places to see him, one was the imperial study, one was the Lingque Terrace, and the other was the imperial garden.
"Yes!" The two immediately went.
After Xie Fanghua entered the palace, he saw that there was no one around, and said to the waiter painting and waiter, "Now you go to Yufu Palace immediately alone, and Yicui Palace immediately when you are alone." said that the queen was making a move on Qin Zheng, and asked the two mothers to drag the emperor together. said that if Qin Zheng was saved, the queen would not be able to succeed. They are also good. If you can't save Qin Zheng. Then they can't please either. ”
The painter and the ink naturally followed.
When the palace people saw the palace card and heard that it was this reason, they naturally had no reason not to let her go, so they immediately let her in.
Xie Fanghua took out the palace card that had never been used to enter the palace at any time, and said to the guard, "When I came here two days ago, I saw that the queen mother was not in good health, and there was nothing to relieve boredom in the palace, so I sent her a clever cat to relieve her boredom." ”
The person guarding the palace gate immediately went down the wall, naturally knew Xie Fanghua, and saluted her, "Miss Fanghua, what are you...... Want to enter the palace? Is there a will? ”
Xie Fanghua got out of the carriage, picked up the cat lying on his stomach in the car, and came to the palace gate.
After two teas, Xie Fanghua's carriage came to the gate of the palace.
Yan Qing stood in front of the window, looking out, with a pot of dirt in his hand. There used to be a lotus orchid in it.
Yunshui nodded and turned to go.
"The carriage is heading in the direction of the palace! It doesn't have to be that something happened to the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion. Yan said lightly, "If you want to know, go check it!" ”
"Why are you running in such a hurry? What happened to the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion? Yunshui asked speculatively.
Yan Qing walked to the window, only saw a shadow of the carriage, and nodded.
On the light water floor of the Cuihong Building, Yun Shui suddenly said, "Yan Qing, you see, that's the carriage of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion, right?" ”
At noon, the streets were crowded with people, and horse-drawn carriages passed through the streets, and many people paid attention.
The waiter didn't ask, and hurriedly whipped up and went to the palace.
After getting into the carriage, Xie Fanghua instructed the waiter to paint and ink, "Go to the palace immediately!" ”
Jin Yan slowly walked out of the teahouse.
The handmaiden nodded.
"What can I do!" Jin Yan put down the teacup and stood up, "I just want Cousin Qin Zheng to grab Xie Fanghua to death." Then, even if Cousin Qin Yu has the heart to ask Xie Fanghua in the future, he won't get it. After a pause, she whispered bleakly, "As long as he doesn't get it." I'll have a chance! ”
"County Lord, are you alright?" The maidservant stepped forward and asked Jin Yan carefully.
Jin Yan turned her head to look downstairs, only to see Xie Fanghua get into the carriage very quickly, and the carriage of the Marquis Zhongyong's Mansion left the teahouse quickly. She suddenly laughed, "It turns out that some people are just hidden deeply!" It's not that the rumors say that they don't care. ”
Jin Yan's maidservant didn't understand what was going on inside, so she hurriedly entered the private room and was relieved to see Jin Yan sitting there intact.
Shi Hua and Shi Mo saw that Miss suddenly rushed out, their faces were slightly gloomy, and the two immediately followed behind her.
She glanced up at the sky, and now it was almost noon. She stood up and said to Jin Yan, "Sister Jin Yan, thank you for your tea today!" I'll invite you another day! Excuse me! With that, she walked out of the room and downstairs.
Xie Fanghua suddenly put down the teacup, and her eyes changed slightly. She felt this morning that the emperor would not spare Qin Zheng lightly. But he neglected the queen. Yes, she assisted Concubine Liu and Concubine Shen, and the queen must have noticed it. So how not to shoot?
"And Li Rubi has been attached to Qin Zheng's cousin for a long time, and her love has been deep, and what about the emperor's uncle! I don't like your marriage in the first place! What would the queen mother and Li Rubi do together? Naturally, he turned a blind eye. Loved. Jin Yan looked at her, "So, today's palace can be described as a tiger's den in Longtan!" Qin Zheng's cousin has never been close to women, although he is extremely smart, he disdains to play tricks. And it's hard to imagine that someone will use some kind of tricks on him. So...... It can well be imagined! ”
Xie Fanghua looked at Jin Yan and his gaze froze for a few moments.
Jin Yan suddenly smiled, "It seems that you are not indifferent to Cousin Qin Zheng. After a pause, she said, "Today I stopped you and asked about your cousin Qin Yu." Thank you for knowing everything and not being impatient, and for accompanying me to say this. I'll thank you and remind you. The queen mother is a person who can use any means, otherwise she would not have sat in the middle palace for so many years. Concubine Liu and Concubine Shen have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, but they still haven't defeated her. In addition to the fact that she has a good son, then she can also control her wrists. ”
Xie Fanghua shook the hand of the tea cup for a moment.
"Today, the emperor's uncle recruited Qin Zheng's cousin into the palace!" Jin Yan looked at her, "As far as I know, it seems that the queen mother also recruited Li Rubi into the palace this morning to talk." ”
Xie Fanghua lowered her head and looked at the tea in the cup, and the light blue tea spread out in a circle.
Jin Yan suddenly laughed, "Look, the two of us, the one I like, doesn't like me." I'm sad. People you don't like, like you. You are indifferent. ”
Xie Fanghua's fingers moved, but he didn't answer.
Jin Yan looked at her, even though she said so much, she didn't see the slightest joy or even emotion on her face. She suddenly turned her head, "You don't like Cousin Qin Zheng!" ”
Xie Fanghua pursed her lips.
"But he just let out his words and swore that he would accompany you to Biluo Jiuquan and marry only one of you." Jin Yan held the teacup and clenched it tightly, "If Cousin Qin Yu can do this to me!" Then, I will feel that I will die without regrets! ”
Xie Fanghua still didn't speak.
"It's not just me who envy! How many boudoir ladies in Beijing are envious. Except for Li Rubi, except for Yan Lan. There's a lot more you don't know. Those people, even if they went to Luomei Ju in Prince Ying's mansion to be concubines, were willing. Jin Yan said.
Xie Fanghua tugged at the corners of her mouth and didn't speak.
"I'm not envious of your identity! You have been seriously ill for many years and have not had a good body, so it stands to reason that I should not be envious. Jin Yan smiled at her, "But, Cousin Qin Zheng likes you!" I care about you! I don't like to fight with the emperor's uncle, and I want to marry you. That's what makes me envious. ”
Xie Fanghua looked at her, she didn't think she had anything to envy others? Especially Jin Yan. Although she is the only concubine of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, Miss Qianjin, Princess Zunbi. But everyone knows that the Marquis of Zhongyong is a thorn in the side of the imperial power, and it is in danger. And she is the concubine of the eldest princess's mansion, and she will not marry because of the regime like the princess, she can choose a satisfactory concubine. It's just a pity that she obviously lives in gold and jade and lacks nothing, and she will live a carefree life, but the person she likes is Qin Yu. Because she likes Qin Yu, the future is just slim.
"Sister Fanghua! You know, I'm actually very envious of you! Jin Yan looked at her and said suddenly.
Xie Fanghua sighed secretly in her heart, she really didn't know much about how to make a person to the point where she didn't think about it. She smiled back, "Don't bother! ”
"With your cleverness, you should have seen that I like Cousin Qin Yu. So, I can't help but come over and stop you. Let my sister laugh! After a while, Jin Yan raised her head and smiled apologetically at Xie Fanghua, her eyes full of worry.
Xie Fanghua looked at Jin Yan and was haggard because of love. Compared to what she saw on Chinese New Year's Eve, she seems to have lost some weight.
Jin Yan's face darkened.
Xie Fanghua shook his head again, "This matter depends on the emperor's will!" No one can say! ”
"When can he say he will be able to return to Beijing?" Jin Yan asked again.
Xie Fanghua shook his head.
Jin Yan breathed a sigh of relief again, "Can he find out who the murderer is?" ”
Xie Fanghua shook his head, "Unharmed!" ”
Jin Yan nodded, "When the Linfen Bridge was blown up, I heard that Cousin Qin Yu's carriage was going back to the city with you. He's really not hurt? ”
Xie Fanghua rubbed his eyebrows, "That's the way it is!" Is there anything else you have to ask? ”
Jin Yan covered her mouth and was happy, "Yes! Cousin Qin Zheng and Cousin Qin Yu have not liked each other since they were children, and you said that you want to see Cousin Qin Yu like this in front of Cousin Qin Zheng. Naturally, he was annoyed. ”
Xie Fanghua laughed, "He's not jealous!" He exploded when he heard Qin Yu's name! ”
Jin Yan nodded when she heard this, breathed a sigh of relief, the tightness on her face faded, and she also smiled, "So it turns out that Cousin Qin Zheng is jealous!" ”
Xie Fanghua said quietly, "I am the daughter of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion, the Xie Family's Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion has been a family heirloom of poetry and etiquette for generations. I have been seriously ill for many years, and although my health is not good, I can barely deserve a good word. Since I have a marriage contract with Qin Zheng, how can I still love the four princes? ”
"So?" Jin Yan didn't believe it, "So you don't love the four princes?" ”
Xie Fanghua said briefly, "The incident originated when Qin Zheng took me to Pingyang City to see the lanterns, and after watching the lanterns, I heard the news that the four princes were going back to Beijing, and Pingyang City was a must-pass place." I asked him if we would meet the Four Princes in Pingyang City if we returned to Beijing a few days later. The four princes were able to be demoted from the prince to the common people and went to Mobei, and then came back from Mobei after establishing military merits and restoring the status of the prince. What is Mobei? We all know that. is also a legend. I'm just curious to meet a real person. But I didn't expect it to annoy Qin Zheng. He said that I admired the four princes, and in a fit of anger, he threw me down and lived in Pingyang Taishou Mansion by himself. ”
Jin Yan looked at her, "What kind of deviation?" ”
Xie Fanghua nodded, "There is indeed such a thing!" But there is a deviation from what you heard. ”
"So that's true?" Jin Yan's face tensed.
Xie Fanghua smiled, "Sure enough, there is no impermeable wall in the world." How many days have it been? Some rumors from Pingyang City actually spread to the capital. ”
"I heard a rumor from Binh Duong City that you ...... Do you love the Four Princes? Jin Yan stared at Xie Fanghua.
Xie Fanghua nodded.
"I call you Sister Fanghua, it's too much for you to call me the county lord. If you don't mind, just call me Sister Jin Yan! Jin Yan held the cup, and the cardamom nails of her ten fingers were bright.
Xie Fanghua took a sip of tea and smiled faintly, "The county lord doesn't need to be polite, just ask." Knowing everything is endless. ”
Jin Yan looked at Xie Fanghua and got straight to the point, "Sister Fanghua, I invited you here to ask about the four princes." I hope you tell me the truth. ”
Jin Yan chose a window position on the second floor, and after the two sat down, the young man put on tea and pastries and retreated. The maidservants of the painting, the ink and the golden swallow guarded the door.
After the two of them went in one after the other, Xie Yunji slowly got out of the carriage and entered the teahouse.
Jin Yan put away the love in her eyes, slowly bowed her head, and stepped into the teahouse.
"Let's go!" Xie Fanghua nodded lightly at her.
In short, the difference is a thousand miles.
Maybe it's luxury, maybe it's temperament, maybe it's heritage......
Jin Yan stood at the door, waiting for Xie Fanghua, and saw her approaching. The bright sunlight shone down from the sky, reflecting on her body, and her face was beautiful and beautiful. It made him feel disgraced. Over the years, Li Rubi and her have become the double beauties of the capital, but now even she feels that Li Rubi and her are inferior to Xie Fanghua. It's not the looks, what the difference is, even she can't describe it.
Xie Fanghua felt that it was no big deal to let him eavesdrop, so she glared at him amusefully and got out of the carriage.
Xie Yunji poked his head out and glanced at it, and suddenly smiled, "I opened this teahouse, and there is a mirror wall in every room, so it's best to eavesdrop." She's really good at choosing! ”
Half an hour later, the carriage entered the city. The carriage of the eldest princess's mansion stopped in front of a teahouse.
The carriage moved forward slowly, its wheels pressing against the ground and making a regular sound.
Xie Fanghua ignored him anymore.
Xie Yunji nodded and sighed admittedly, "Am I just bored?" ”
"Boring!" Xie Fanghua scolded him.
Xie Yunji coughed, as if he had found something interesting, and said, "You go to the teahouse with her in a while, choose a place with a better location, and let my brother and I listen behind my back." ”
Xie Fanghua glanced at Xie Yunji.
Xie Yunji let out an "oh" and said suddenly, "I vaguely heard that this county lord of the eldest princess's mansion likes the fourth prince Qin Yu. When the words fell, he snorted, "Is it here to warn you, so that you don't rob Qin Yu with her?" ”
Xie Fanghua smiled, "Don't guess, she's for Qin Yu." ”
"It's weird!" Xie Yunji looked at her, "What's the matter with her?" Guess what! ”
Xie Fanghua shook his head, "I've only met once or twice." ”
Xie Yunji whispered in wonder, "Do you have a good relationship with her?" Why does she want to talk to you? And it looks like I'm waiting for you here. ”
The waiter and the waiter Mo glanced back, saw Xie Fanghua put down the curtain, and immediately drove behind the carriage of the eldest princess's mansion.
Jin Yan lowered the curtain and gave a command to the coachman, and the carriage walked in front of Xie Fanghua's carriage.
Xie Fanghua nodded.
"This is a wilderness, not a place for conversation, why don't we go to the teahouse in the city and sit for a while!" Jin Yan said.
Xie Fanghua guessed her purpose for looking for her, and nodded slowly.
Jin Yan hesitated, glanced at Xie Yunji, and pursed her lips, "Sister Fanghua, can you take a step to speak?" ”
Xie Fanghua stretched out her hand to open the curtain, poked her head out, and looked at Jin Yan, "Sister Jin Yan, what's the matter?" ”
Xie Yunji glanced back, "Sister Fanghua, the beauty is looking for you!" ”
Jin Yan also saw Xie Yunji, who also had a two-sided relationship with him, nodded slightly, looked at him and asked, "Is there Sister Fanghua sitting in the car in front?" ”
Xie Yunji happened to see it, blinked his eyes, and suddenly smiled, "It turns out to be the Jinyan County Lord of the Eldest Princess's Mansion!" ”
I saw that after the carriage on the opposite side blocked the road, the curtain of the carriage was lifted from the inside, revealing a beautiful face.
Xie Yunji asked strangely, "What is the eldest princess's carriage doing blocking the way of our carriage?" As the words fell, he reached out and lifted the curtain and looked out.
Xie Fanghua was leaning against the wall of the car and lowering his eyebrows thinking about things, when he heard the words, he said "um".
The waiter and the waiter looked at the license plate of the carriage that stopped in front of the road, turned around and whispered to the car, "Miss, the carriage of the eldest princess's mansion is blocking the way of our carriage!" ”
Xie Fanghua and Xie Yunji's carriage had just walked out a short distance when they were stopped by a carriage coming diagonally from the side.
