Chapter 68: Zhu Xianju, Difficult to Break Love (1)
Everyone played in the Mei Garden until the sky was slightly revealed, and the victory or defeat of the treasure gradually became clear.
Daze's son Baili Fuyao and Chaoyan Emperor Ji Mujing found a total of three of the five treasures. The third son of the Ling Xiao An family found the fourth piece. The last one was found by Chun Yuyan, the second son of Chun Yu's family.
The son of Daze studied under the first master of the Protoss, Moqian Shengjun, and personally cracked the Xuantian Four Elephant Array and won the first place in the Ganyuan Conference.
Lingxiao An's clan is a great merchant in Chaoyan's territory, second only to Baili's. The Baili clan controls the trade flow inside and outside Chaoyan, while the An clan mainly controls the various distribution businesses in Lingxiao City, although the transactions handled are a little trivial in comparison, but the accumulated wealth should not be underestimated. An's son was successful in the treasure hunt, and people who knew each other joked one after another, saying that he was indeed a person who was used to buying and selling jewelry, and a pair of eyes that were good at "recognizing treasures" played an effective role at critical moments......
As for Chun Yuyan, who found the last treasure, there was nothing strange about it. It's strange that the person who broke the formation with him was the eldest lady of the Baili clan, Baili Ningyan!
It is said that before the 100-year-old celebration, Prince Mu Han, at the behest of the queen, invited Miss Baili to join him, and Miss Baili readily agreed. But how did it end up with the prodigal son of Chun Yu's family?
Some people with good deeds analyzed that Chun Yuyan's move was clearly with Gao Pan's ambition, trying to win the heart of Daze's concubine with his amorous means, and take advantage of the situation to seek power for himself. There is another version that in fact, Chun Yuyan's original target was Emperor Qingling, but fortunately, Emperor Ji was arrogant and didn't care about it at all.
Qing Ling learned the power of the gossip in Lingxiao City for the first time, and when he returned to the palace, he kept hearing the private discussions of the maids, which were all kinds of derogatory remarks about Chun Yuyan.
Qing Ling listened to it for a long time, and finally couldn't listen to it, and couldn't help but refute: "Is Chun Yu Gongzi as unbearable as you say?" Someone else has taken a treasure anyway, okay? ”
She and Fang Shanlei wandered in the maze for a long time last night, and they didn't find any treasures. Fang Shanlei apologized to Qing Ling again and again, explaining that he was indeed not a master of breaking the formation. Qing Ling didn't have much hope at first, but in the end, he was still a little depressed, feeling that he was stumped by the formation used as a game in the name of Chongwu's disciple, which was really a bit embarrassing for his master......
Several palace maids who served Qingling closely, and the time they spent with her was not short, knowing that this emperor was quite approachable, so she was not very restrained when she spoke, and while helping Qingling change her dress and headdress, she said nonchalantly: "Chun Yu Gongzi has taken the treasure, maybe it's just a coincidence." If you really have the ability, you should be like the son of Daze, and once you succeed, there are three things! ”
"Yes, Osawa Shizi said so powerfully. It was rumored that he was a frail man who couldn't even get off the bed, but who knew that he was actually such a person! ”
Qing Ling took the opportunity to mention: "Look, you also know that the rumors are not credible. ”
The palace maid named Ru Xiang, who helped Qing Ling take off his headdress, answered: "That's not the same. Daze is so far away from Lingxiao City, it is inevitable that the news will be untrue, but everyone understands the personality of the second son! ”
Another palace maid named Yashuang echoed: "Yes, he used to live in Lingxiao City all the time, and he behaved frivolously when he was a child. ”
Qing Ling said in his heart, Chun Yuyan wanted to secretly help Mu Chen buy private property and cultivate dead soldiers, and jumped out to pretend to be an "outsider" at a critical moment, so he naturally had to pretend to be estranged on the surface, so as not to attract suspicion from others.
"Speaking of the eldest prince," Ru Xiang said mysteriously, "I heard that he was seen with Miss Shiyin of the Monan family last night. It is said that the two of them were under the palace wall outside the Mei Garden, standing and talking for a long time! ”
As soon as these words came out, it was like throwing stones into the lake and stirring up a thousand ripples, and the palace maids immediately gossiped.
"Isn't it? The last time the eldest prince was punished, it was because the patriarch of Monan accused him of intending to rebel, how could Miss Monan still have the face to see the eldest prince again? ”
"Maybe the eldest prince wants to see her. The eldest prince used to be kind to Miss Monan. Besides, their marriage contract has not been officially canceled. ”
"But when the eldest prince was in trouble, Miss Shiyin ignored him, and now that His Majesty has pardoned the eldest prince's sins, she immediately ran over. If I were the eldest prince, I wouldn't bother with her again! ”
At this time, Yashuang noticed that Qing Ling had no smile on his face, and only then did he realize that this time he might be talking too arrogantly, so he quickly made a few glances and made several other palace maids stop.
According to the palace rules, it is a capital offense to talk about the royal family. But Qingling has never put on any shows, and listens to gossip with relish, and occasionally interjects a few words and expresses her own opinions, so the palace maids around her are happy to speak freely. Seeing her ugly face now, I couldn't help but start to feel uneasy, wondering if Emperor Qingling and Emperor Mujing were the same as Mo Nan Shiyin?
Qing Ling was silent for a moment, smiled suddenly, and glanced at everyone behind him from the bronze mirror, "Why is it so quiet all of a sudden?" After a pause, he said: "I guessed that Brother Wang didn't break the formation last night, if he went, how could the limelight be robbed by the prince of Daze?" It's frustrating to think about......"
The maids sighed secretly, and began to do their best to comfort Qing Ling.
"That treasure hunt is a game, where can I see the real ability? The Emperor doesn't have to take it personally! ”
"Slave maid, look at those treasures, it's not as good as what Your Majesty usually gives to the emperor."
"Last night, Emperor Ji Yan overwhelmed the crowd, and the clothes were the most eye-catching, comparing all the young ladies in Lingxiao City. With the presence of the emperor, who still has any rare treasures? ”
"That's it! When the slave maid watched Fang Shan Gongzi send the emperor back this morning, her eyes were as if she had been spelled, and she kept staring at the emperor without blinking! ”
Qing Ling changed her dress, dismissed the maid, and lay down on the couch.
She touched the purple jade ring hanging on her chest, looked at the top of the gold-silk white-veined epiphany tent, and was stunned for a long time before slowly closing her eyes.
The smell of incense in the air seemed to be strangely heavy, filling the chest heavily. Originally, after a busy day and a night, my body was already exhausted, but my mind was always disturbed, and I tossed and turned on the couch for a long time, and my mood became more and more irritable.
Finally, she let out a long sigh and sat up.
Today was originally the day when Qingling officially moved into the Vermilion Bird Palace as Emperor Chaoyan. There were already palace people who packed up the big and small objects they were going to bring into the palace and put them on the chariot. Several palace maids who served close to each other were also able to follow the promotion into the palace, and their interest was always very high, and they didn't feel tired after staying up all night, sitting outside the palace and chatting about gossip, just waiting for the emperor to wake up and drive into the palace.
Qing Ling walked out of the hall and instructed the maid: "You follow the royal chariot into the palace first." I couldn't sleep, I wanted to go out for a walk, and I would go into the palace by myself for a while. If the queen asked, she would say that I was still resting in the palace. ”
With that, he went up and untied the reins of a Pegasus that was pulling a chariot.
The palace ladies were shocked.
It's a trivial matter for the emperor to stay up all night and refuse to rest, but it is absolutely not a good thing to go out and hang out alone.
Ru Xiang hurriedly stepped forward to stop Qing Ling, "Emperor Ji, if you want to go out, you must get the consent of the queen mother and send an entourage to escort you!" If something goes wrong, the slaves and maids can't afford to be held responsible. ”
Several other maids also chimed in.
Qing Ling grabbed the reins of Pegasus and said with a smile, "If you obediently cooperate with me, I will give each of you a gift later." If you don't cooperate with me, I will tell the queen that you have just discussed the affairs of the royal family. ”
When the maids heard that you look at me and I look at you, they wondered what to do, but their positions were obviously no longer as firm as before......
Qing Ling took advantage of the victory and pursued: "Don't worry. My master is the number one master of the Protoss. With my cultivation, no matter how I am the top 20 people in the Eastern Continent, nothing will go wrong! If anyone holds you accountable in the future, it's better to say that I stole away myself! ”
With that, he jumped on the horse's back, grabbed the reins, and took off into the air.
The speed of the Pegasus was very fast, and after only a short period of work, under the drive of Qingling, it landed steadily on the street in the east of the inner city.
There are many mansions in the east of the inner city, and it is a concentrated area where the families of Chaoyan State live. The guards patrolling the nearby capital immediately surrounded the Pegasus at first sight of the Pegasus descending from the sky.
Qing Ling was secretly annoyed. If I knew that Pegasus was also so popular, it would be better to use a unicorn......
The officer at the head of the group happened to be on duty in the palace yesterday, and recognized the green spirit on horseback, so he hurriedly knelt down on one knee and saluted: "Emperor." ”
The rest of the soldiers also put away their swords and knelt down and saluted.
Originally, there was only one emperor in Lingxiao City, Ah Jing, and the strange woman on horseback in front of her must be the Qingling Emperor from Queen Zhangguo......
Like the rest of the people in the Eastern Continent, everyone was very curious about this special emperor, and although they lowered their heads, their eyes involuntarily raised high, peeking at them to see Qing Ling's appearance clearly.
For the first time, Qing Ling was condescendingly worshiped by a large group of people, and he was also a soldier with heavy armor and iron helmets, so he was a little overwhelmed for a while.
She was stunned for a moment, then rolled over and dismounted, clearing her throat, "Get up, all of you." ”
The soldiers stood up. The leading officer glanced behind Qing Ling, but he didn't see any attendants accompanying him, so he said thoughtfully: "I don't know where the emperor wants to go?" Is it necessary for the general to send someone to escort me? ”
Qingling said, "I came to the city to meet a friend. He lives nearby, so you don't have to follow me. ”
Although the officer felt strange, he did not dare to refute, bowed down, and replied, "Yes." ”
Qing Ling took the reins of the horse and walked a few steps forward, then stopped and turned around, and said in a serious tone: "You are not allowed to tell me about seeing me." Otherwise...... Otherwise......"
After all, he had no experience in threatening imperial court officers before, and after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't come up with a specific punishment, so he had to say vaguely: "Otherwise, I will punish you!" ”
Qing Ling led Tianma, and with his memory, he found Chun Yu's mansion in Beijing, and reported his name, saying that he wanted to see Chun Yuyan.
When the servants guarding the door heard that the emperor was coming, they were all dumbfounded, and they stayed for a long time before rushing into the mansion.
