Chapter III 4
Shangguan Beitang followed Ning Chun'an to the Kangqian Palace, and as soon as he saw the emperor, he came forward anxiously and said: "Beitang, you are back, do you know that I am worried about dying these days." ”
"There is the emperor's concern, and the ministers are fine!" Shangguan Beitang dodged the emperor and was about to grab his hand. Dugu Yanxiang didn't see him and pulled his sleeve and walked to the inner hall, saying as he walked: "Come, I asked someone to make your favorite hibiscus cake, come and taste it." ”
Ning Chun'an stepped forward to bring the pastry, but Dugu Yanxiang waved his hand and said, "I come by myself, you can step down." Ning Chun'an answered and went out.
Dugu Yanxiang brought the pastry to Shangguan Beitang and asked him to sit down: "Come, taste it." Shangguan Beitang took a bite and said, "Well, it's delicious." It's been a long time since I've eaten such a fragrant hibiscus cake. ”
"How about it, this time the bandit crackdown went well!" The emperor looked at him and asked with a smile on his face. Shangguan Beitang saw that the emperor was in a good mood and thought: Why don't I tell him about Brother Hu at this time, maybe he will let go of Brother Hu and the undead son.
Shangguan Beitang also smiled and said: "Everything is still going well, Your Majesty, this time Beitang can come back safely, in addition to Zheng Yi's help, there is also a guest in my house, Mr. Hu Shanghu, but he has contributed a lot, if it weren't for him, Beitang's head might have been cut off by Qian Wanqing a long time ago." ”
"Oh, is it? Since he is a person who is kind to Beitang, then he is kind to me, and I have time to bring him into the palace, and I want to reward him! Dugu Yanxiang said.
Shangguan Beitang picked up another piece of pastry and said, "Hmm." Another day, when he entered the courtier, he brought him. Belch! Throat! "Eat slowly, come and drink." Dugu Yanxiang hurriedly handed him a glass of water: "You, no one is robbing you." Every time I eat hibiscus cake, I choke on it, and I love to eat it very much. ”
"I think this hibiscus cake is too delicious. The minister wanted to eat a few more pieces. "Shangguan Beitang looked at the emperor and said." If it's delicious, I ask the imperial chef to bring it to you every day. Dugu Yanxiang scratched his nose.
"Guess what else I have in store for you?" Dugu Yanxiang said with his hands behind his back. "What?" Shangguan Beitang stretched out his head to find out. "Here, take a look." Dugu Yanxiang stretched out his hand, and a delicate small bottle appeared in his hand.
"What is this?" Shangguan Beitang took the bottle and smelled it, "It's so fragrant!" For girls, I don't want it, the emperor still keeps it for the ladies in the palace! With that, he put the object back into Dugu Yanxiang's hand.
"This is the snow melting fragrance that the Western Regions mission paid tribute to when they came a few days ago, and it is the only one, which I specially left for you, but I am reluctant to give it to those laymen in the palace. Give it, be sure to carry it closely. ”
"I don't want it, I don't need to dance with knives and guns on weekdays. With this vain arouses suspicion. Shangguan Beitang said.
"I just want you to take it, I just want you to restore your identity in a dignified manner, and then set you up as the queen in a beautiful way." Dugu Yanxiang said again and stuffed the incense back to him.
Shangguan Beitang hurriedly blocked his mouth with his hand, looked around and whispered: "What is the emperor doing, I can't say this, I am the identity of the king of Beixuan, and I can't change it." It's your life and mine. ”
"I don't care, I don't believe in fate. I just want everyone in the world to know who you really are, and you should be my queen! Dress, don't you understand this heart of mine? Dugu Yanxiang grabbed his arm and asked.
"Your Majesty, the minister was a little tired just after returning to Beijing, so he went back to rest first, and the minister retired." Shangguan Beitang broke free, and he hurriedly walked out of the inner hall.
Ning Chun'an looked at the person who came out in a hurry, and then at Dugu Yanxiang who looked lost in the hall, shook his head and sighed: "Hey, God's will makes people!" Although he didn't know the identity of Shangguan Beitang, after all, he was a person who had served the emperor for many years, so he could guess some, how could he not understand the emperor's thoughts about King Beixuan.
Shangguan Beitang hurriedly returned to the palace and came to the inner room, and called: "Yuzhu, go and get clothes for this king." "What are you going to do when you just return home?" Yuzhu asked, taking his clothes.
"I made an appointment with Brother Zikai to listen to Yuxuan and taste tea, and you also go to Ang! By the way, call Brother Hu too. Uncle Qin, prepare the car. As he spoke, he shouted out the window again. Ay! Steward Qin left in response.
"Who are you going there today?" Yuzhu asked while helping Shangguan Beitang tidy up his clothes. "Oh, they're all the same people you've seen on weekdays, and one is this year's champion. It's also a lover of personality. ”
"That's okay, the slave family won't be restrained when they go. Otherwise, like that time, Jiang Houye had to invite a preacher to say something, what did he say, the way of life is practice, eating, drinking, doing and doing are all practices, and everyone in the world is practicing in the red dust, hey, people fall asleep when they hear it. ”
"Haha, do you still remember this, rest assured that the people who went there today are all interesting people, and they won't make Sister Yuzhu doze off." Shangguan Beitang said with a smile.
Shangguan Beitang got dressed and casually put the vial that had just been placed on the table again. Maybe even he didn't know how much he cared about every word and everything Dugu Yanxiang gave him.
The carriage galloped all the way to Tingyuxuan, Shangguan Beitang and Hu Shang got out of the car, and Yuzhu followed behind them. The master came forward and greeted, "Lord." "Are they all here?" "It's all in there."
Shangguan Beitang and his party walked in and saw five people sitting in the pavilion drinking tea. He smiled and said, "All the brothers are here, it seems that this king is late." ”
"The prince came just in time, we just boiled a pot, come and taste it." Bai Huan, the son of the Shangshu family, said. Several other people also asked: "Lord Wang." "Mr. Hu!"
Shangguan Beitang replied: "Brother Zikai, Lord Xiao, Wang Gongzi, Liu Shilang." "Hu Shang had attended several such gatherings with Shangguan Beitang before, so he also knew most of these people. Salute each other.
Seeing this, Yuzhu also saluted: "Jiang Houye, Lord Liu, Bai Gongzi, Wang Gongzi," she didn't know what to call when she saw Xiao Yiqing, Shangguan Beitang stepped forward and introduced: "This is the champion Xiao Yiqing Xiao I told you." ”
"Yuzhu has seen the champion." Yuzhu made another salute. "The girl is gracious. It should be Xiaosheng who salutes you, and the girl's great grace is unforgettable. Xiao Yiqing replied.
Everyone asked, "Oh? Lord Xiao, why is this? Yuzhu was also confused: "What do you say about Lord Xiao?" ”
"The girl really doesn't remember me?" Xiao Yiqing asked. Yuzhu thought about it and shook his head: "The slave has never seen an adult. ”
"A few months ago, the girl bought a pair of characters. Does the girl have an impression? Xiao Yiqing reminded with a smile. It turned out to be you, you were the scholar who sold words. You're in high school! Yuzhu said in surprise.
"It's Xiaosheng, Xiaosheng was able to go to high school or borrowed the girl's auspicious words." Xiao Yiqing smiled and said. When he came in from Shangguan Beitang and his party, he noticed the woman in Tsing Yi behind him. She was like a light that illuminated his life.
When he was desperate from hunger and cold, her presence gave him warmth and hope to move forward. Finally, he was named on the gold list, and his official robe was added. So he searched for her everywhere, and found nothing in every turn. Just as he was anxious and desperate, she reappeared.
is still dressed in green clothes, descending to the world like a fairy. She said that her name was Yuzhu, what a crisp and moving name, just as clear and agile as her eyes, just like the words he gave her, "Bing Qing Yujie." ”
Shangguan Beitang and everyone looked at these two people, very confused, Shangguan Beitang asked, "What's the matter with Yuzhu?" Yuzhu told him about going out of the house to buy silk thread that day, and everyone understood it. sighed that they were fated.
Bai Ying smiled and said: "If this is according to what is said in the book, in this case, the fate of Miss Yuzhu and Lord Xiao is still to come." Maybe it's a good couple. "Bai Gongzi read some unobtrusive scripts. You believe those too. Yuzhu said with a pout.
"Cousin Bei, why don't you just do a favor and promise Miss Yuzhu to Lord Xiao!" Jiang Zikai also joked. "Master Hou will make fun of the slave family, Yuzhu is a person from the Beixuan Palace, and he has been in this life." Yuzhu put a bowl of tea in front of Jiang Zikai with some displeasure, and he didn't pay attention to the splash of tea.
Jiang Zikai shook his hand and dusted off his clothes, and said distressedly: "Tsk, you little girl." This is Ben Hou's newly made clothes, be careful if you break it, Ben Hou will ask you to pay for it! "Master Jiang Hou is really stingy, a piece of clothing has to be compensated, all sons should be careful, be careful that people will charge for eating Jiang Hou's tea today!" Yuzhu gave him a blank look and said. The crowd burst into laughter.
"Hey, your little girl is too articulate, looking at who in the capital dares to talk to Ben Hou like this." Jiang Hou couldn't help but stand up when he saw that Yuzhu couldn't help but stand up.
"Yuzhu has always been like this, and it's not the first time I've seen Hou Ye, if you make Hou Ye unhappy, you can cut off Yuzhu's head."
"Cousin North, don't you care about the people in your house?" Jiang Zikai asked Shangguan Beitang for help. Shangguan Beitang picked up the tea bowl and touched a cup with Hu Shang, then put it to his mouth and squinted at Jiang Zikai, his eyes seemed to say: "You provoked yourself, solve it yourself!" ”
Jiang Zikai saw that no one was in charge of himself, so he had to sit down, and said angrily: "I don't dare to kill you, your prince spoils you so much, if I move you, he won't kill me!" Yuzhu girl is more responsible, it is this waiting, this is polite. ”
Liu Shilang interjected with a smile: "Haha, Master Hou, if you really dare to touch the Yuzhu girl, you will have to pass our level, if there is no Yuzhu girl, our party will be a lot less fun, and this tea will not be fragrant." A few of us won't say yes either. "It's better for Lord Liu to treat Yuzhu." Yuzhu said. "Hey, you people," Jiang Hou wanted to say something.
Bai Ying smiled and said: "Okay, okay, you two have to quarrel every time you meet, I don't think you need to quarrel, Marquis Jiang, you can't say Yuzhu girl." ”
"Hmph, this is not the same as the little girl." Jiang Zikai said coldly. Yuzhu also ignored him anymore and went to the stove alone to cook tea for a few sons.
"Wonderful, wonderful!" Liu Shilang said while sipping tea, "This Longjing was boiled by Yuzhu girl before the rain, which is really memorable!" ”
