Wen Qingzhu is a doctor, and he can see at a glance that Jiang Dejia is pregnant.

She immediately walked down and greeted Jiang Dejia and asked, "Why did you return to Beijing so soon?" ”

This scene fell in the eyes of outsiders, because Wen Qingzhu was dissatisfied with Jiang Dejia's return so quickly.

But Jiang Dejia knew that Wen Qingzhu was concerned about her: "My father is in mourning, the prince is on the throne, and my mother is going to be sent back to the capital, there are many things, so I want to come back as soon as possible." ”

"Someone! Send Princess Dejia to rest! Wen Qingzhu immediately ordered to go down.

But he didn't want Pei Yu to take a step forward: "Princess, Princess Dejia just came back, and she hasn't spoken to the prince yet?" Are you in such a hurry to catch people? ”

Jiang Dejia looked back expressionlessly: "The palace will go back to rest, the prince will naturally follow, do you still need to report this matter to Pei Xiangyu?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the situation reversed.

Pei Yu's face immediately sank: "The prince went to see the princess, so who will deal with the next thing?" ”

Jiang Dejia looked at Wen Qingzhu's side, raised his chin and looked at him and said, "Isn't there a princess regent?" In the future, she is going to the Xuanzheng Hall to discuss the government with the ministers, is there anything wrong with getting used to it in advance? ”

The scene was quiet for a while, Pei Yu took a deep breath, and it took a long time to stabilize his emotions.

I really didn't expect that Jiang Dejia was on Wen Qingzhu's side from the beginning!

Ignoring Pei Yu no longer, Jiang Dejia stretched out his hand to Jiang Yuanhan: "Come on!" Help me to see my mother. ”

Jiang Yuanhan understands that this is something she has to say to herself, and it is also a chance for her sister.

He nodded, left Xiao Fangzi behind, and turned his head to follow Jiang Dejia away.

Wen Qingzhu looked at Pei Yu with a smile: "Prime Minister, this palace just has something I want to discuss with you, why don't you go to the Xuanzheng Hall with Master Zhu." ”

Pei Yu looked at Wen Qingzhu in front of him, gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, but in the end he could only give up his hand and reply: "Weichen obeys." ”

In the Xuanzheng Palace.

Wen Qingzhu sat on the golden chair next to the dragon chair, looking at the Ministry of Rites and a few people from Zongzheng Temple in front of him: "Are all the things that the palace wants ready?" ”

"Back to the princess, I have already sent someone to the Ministry of Rites to pick it up, please wait for a while." Lord Zhu bent down to answer, no longer caring what Pei Yu was thinking, he was now firmly on Wen Qingzhu's side.

Wen Qingzhu nodded with satisfaction: "Yes." ”

Then he turned his gaze and looked at Pei Yu: "The canonization ceremony just now, why isn't Pei Xiang here?" Instead, you know that Deca is coming back? ”

Pei Yu was naturally prepared: "Don't worry, the princess, the minister has already asked the prince to deal with the affairs of Kangcheng this morning, and he is indeed out of the city." ”

"I see." Wen Qingzhu smiled and didn't embarrass Pei Yu anymore.

It didn't take long for Lord Zhu to send the list to Wen Qingzhu.

Wen Qingzhu saw the first page of the list and immediately frowned: "There are so many people who want to enter Beijing? ”

"Yes, this is already the smallest list to shrink, and it can't be less!" Lord Zhu was a little apprehensive, although the emperors of previous dynasties ascended the throne, although safety was the priority, but very few officials outside Beijing did not come back.

Wen Qingzhu quickly swept the next list aside, his eyebrows furrowing deeper and deeper.

Standing below, Lord Zhu and the others were terrified.

But in the end, Wen Qingzhu just said: "The personnel entering Beijing need to be redetermined, and in addition, your Ministry of Rites can hand over to Chief Bai, and she may be able to give better advice on some things." ”

When Lord Zhu heard about Mr. Bai? Thinking about that white manager?

As a result, Pei Yu spoke next to him: "Princess, the head of the palace has always been the big eunuch next to the emperor, or directly appointed by the emperor, Bai Di was just an ordinary female official before, and the princess removed the position of head of Zheng and let Bai Di take the position of head manager, isn't it appropriate?" ”

"What do you think, Lord Zhu?" Wen Qingzhu didn't reply to his words, but turned his head to look at the few people in the Ministry of Rites.

Lord Zhu, who was named again, almost wanted to step back immediately, but he had to answer stubbornly: "There is indeed something wrong with this, but there is something special to do, Xiao Fang's father-in-law has not been able to take over, although the white girl is a woman, but she was in charge of the internal affairs of the East Palace before, and things were done very well, the prince ascended the throne, and the white girl was in charge of the palace platform, which is not an exaggeration." ”

"Master Zhu thinks it's good."

Wen Qingzhu nodded slightly, and looked at Pei Yu again: "Prime Minister Pei, can you hear clearly?" ”

"I heard you clearly." Pei Yu didn't have any disappointment on his face, it was just a white flute, and he didn't take it seriously.

He remembered that Bai Di followed Linlang and the piano to change from a musician to a palace person.

Soon Pei Yu and Lord Zhu and others retired, and the Xuanzheng Hall quieted down.

Wen Qingzhu stood up with Lu Tao's hand, looked at the direction of the door, and said with emotion: "Yuanhan is still too lonely to sit in such a position. ”

Xiao Fangzi looked up at her, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, only the princess understands Her Royal Highness?

When he returned to Qianyuan Palace, only Jiang Yuanhan was left sitting alone in the house.

Wen Qingzhu went in and asked him, "What about Deca?" ”

Jiang Yuanhan looked up and hurriedly stood up: "Sister, Pei Xiang didn't embarrass you, right?" ”

"He still can't embarrass me, but it's on your side, what did Dejia tell you?" Wen Qingzhu asked him to sit down.

Jiang Yuanhan sat down slowly, and whispered with a face full of embarrassment: "Sister Dejia said, let me choose the queen as soon as possible, and cultivate feelings first." ”

"Chosen Queen? In such a hurry? Wen Qingzhu didn't expect what Jiang Dejia said to him, it was actually this.

Jiang Yuanhan looked up, and stopped talking.

When Wen Qingzhu raised his eyes to look over, he hurriedly avoided her gaze.

Wen Qingzhu pondered carefully for a long time before he asked carefully: "Did Dejia give you any advice?" ”

"Given, Sister Dejia said, if I don't like Linlin, although my uncle's cousin is only nine years old, I am not very old, I can set the queen first, and then ...... later"

Jiang Yuanhan didn't say any more, he didn't want to settle down so quickly.

On the contrary, Wen Qingzhu was a little strange: "Cousin of my uncle's family? Is it the daughter of Lord Weiyang? ”

"Hmm." Jiang Yuanhan grabbed his hand and buzzed in response.

Wen Qingzhu was silent for a moment, Jiang Deji made this suggestion at this time, it was very strange.

Originally, Jiang Yuanhan was very young, if it was really for the sake of heirs, he would generally choose a girl who was older than Jiang Yuanhan and suitable for childbearing.

How could Wei Yang's daughter be mentioned? ninth

Wen Qingzhu looked at Jiang Yuanhan, his face was a little regretful, and he blamed himself.

After a while, Jiang Yuanhan stood up and said, "Sister, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first for the time being." ”

"Well, go ahead." Wen Qingzhu nodded and watched him and Xiao Fangzi leave.

As soon as he left, Wen Qingzhu immediately instructed Lu Tao and asked her to send someone to inquire about what happened to Jiang Dejia on the way back.

In less than an hour, the news returned.

After Wen Qingzhu listened, his expression was unusually solemn, and Pei Yu really went to see Jiang Dejia.

His purpose must be to provoke Jiang Dejia.

It's just that what did Pei Yu use to lobby Jiang Dejia?

According to Pei Yu's reaction when he was in Wugutai just now, he must have thought that Jiang Dejia was not completely on his side.

However, Jiang Dejia made this suggestion, obviously Jiang Dejia was afraid of something.

"Set the queen's ...... as soon as possible," Wen Qingzhu muttered to himself.

Suddenly, she understood that it was because of Jiang Yuanhan!

At night, Wen Qingzhu returned to Huaqing Palace, and the newly dispatched steward asked her, "Does the princess want to take a bath?" ”

"What about the bath?" Wen Qingzhu was a little surprised.

The steward nodded, raised his hand and pointed to the front and said, "The princess and the slave maid should come here." ”

I followed the housekeeper's aunt all the way to the door of the bath, and before I entered, Wen Qingzhu heard the sound of gurgling water.

After walking in, he bypassed the screen and appeared in front of Wen Qingzhu's eyes, which was completely different from yesterday.

The steam is thick and the slate is a pale blue-pink color in the hot pool, filled with hot water.

This soup pool is about one zhang wide and three zhang long, and at the opposite end, there are three green luan birds, and three trickles of water are spit out from their pointed beaks, which are submerged in the pool.

Wen Qingzhu looked along the soup pool and found that the water in the soup pool had been maintained at a suitable capacity.

She couldn't help but ask the aunt in charge behind her, "Aunt Wei, how does this water surface remain the same?" ”

"Back to the princess, it is the bottom of the pool here, there are three loopholes, and the water is sent out from the soup pool, so as to keep the water in the soup pool at this level."

Wen Qingzhu looked at the three beaks: "How did the water come from?" I remember that there were no hot springs in the palace? ”

Aunt Wei pointed to the top of the three luan birds and explained: "On the top of the soup pool, there is a large iron box, and the palace people will send cold water to it before dawn in the morning. The top of the iron box is a thick layer of transparent glass, which can be used at night when the sun shines during the day and the water becomes hot. ”

"Is that so? Can the water temperature be maintained all the time? Wen Qingzhu was surprised.

Aunt Wei replied with a smile: "There is a thick layer of velvet around and at the bottom of the iron box, which can keep warm well. ”

"What if there is no sun?" Wen Qingzhu asked another question.

"If there is no sun, this cold water will be put down from the afternoon, and the palace people will boil hot water and bring it up to fill it, and someone will keep an eye on the water tank, and the hot water will always be available."

Wen Qingzhu secretly sighed in his heart, this bath seemed to be an artificial hot spring.

Was it invented by Daqi craftsmen?

Not quite like that.

It could only be custom-made by the concubine who once lived in Huaqing Palace.

With such a large bath, it almost looks like a small pond.

The hot water had already been prepared, and Wen Qingzhu simply ordered Lu Tao to wait for her to bathe.

Aunt Wei naturally retreated respectfully.

Wen Qingzhu took off his clothes, wrapped a silk scarf around him, and slowly walked down and sat down.

The temperature was just right, and her whole body relaxed.

Green Tao knelt behind her, rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll massage the princess." ”

"Hmm." Wen Qingzhu closed his eyes, thinking about the enthronement ceremony the day after tomorrow.

What were the Assassins going to do?

Lu Lei and Fan Yu searched for so long, but there was no trace.

It shows that those people are prepared.

Or is it that the assassins are just a front, and the problem lies in the palace?

Unconsciously, Wen Qingzhu fell asleep.

Jiang Yuanhan received Lu Chengfei's secret letter, and immediately left the East Palace and rushed to the Huaqing Palace.

When I arrived in the hall, only my aunt was not there, only the little palace maid was there.

Xiao Fangzi hurriedly asked, "Where is the princess?" ”

The little palace maid had just been transferred, and she hadn't encountered such a situation, so she pointed to the back with some fear: "Over there in the dormitory." ”

Jiang Yuanhan didn't care so much, and walked directly inside, and Xiao Fangzi hurriedly followed.

The little palace maid was a little dazed, just now my aunt seemed to say, the princess is bathing?

On the side of the dormitory, Jiang Yuanhan searched around, but he didn't find Wen Qingzhu.

Immediately wondered: Why is my sister not there?

When it was quiet, Jiang Yuanhan heard the sound of running water coming from the right.

He turned his head to look at the side room to the right, and the sound of running water grew louder and louder.

Until the door, Jiang Yuanhan didn't know why, so he reached out and pushed the door open.

Behind the screen, Green Tao was selecting the essence, turned his head sharply, and shouted out in surprise: "Prince!" Don't come in! ”

Jiang Yuanhan was startled, and through the screen, he vaguely saw his sister's fragrant shoulders half-exposed, leaning against the pool and sleeping.

At this moment, Jiang Yuanhan only felt that his brain was confused, and the whole world was quiet, and he couldn't hear anything.
