The heavy snow hit people's faces, covering the heavy door, and they couldn't help but keep their souls, and they lost Jiang Meiyun.

Dots of flowers fall on the glazed tiles, covering the entire palace little by little. The night window is like day, jasper Qiongyao, and a group of palace people carefully carry the sedan chair and walk on the palace road outside Shulanxuan.

Before the sedan chair turned, it was stopped by the great eunuch Ying Jiugong: "Queen Mother, please go back!" ”

"Even the main palace is not allowed to enter Shulan Xuan?" Empress Xiao's voice came from the sedan chair.

Ying Jiugong didn't speak, just stood in front of the group to block the way. There was no sound all around, only the rustle of snowflakes falling to the ground.

"Fall!" The attendant maid dropped the sedan chair.

Empress Xiao waved her hand behind her, and the group all bowed their heads and bent down and retreated.

"Get out of the way! The main palace is going to visit the Holy One. ”

"The old slave knows that he can't stop the queen, but you have to know that it's not the old slave who stops you!" Ying Jiugong flashed out sideways, stared at the door of Shulanxuan and said.

Empress Xiao hesitated, her eyes revealed a resolute gaze, and she took another step into Shulanxuan, if there was not a single guard in the big courtyard, but from the first step of Empress Xiao, she felt that her cold hair stood up and she was uncomfortable, as if a pair of eyes were staring at her in the dark.

This feeling had been encountered when she first entered the palace, and after more than twenty years, she felt that she had been the mistress of this palace, and she had long forgotten the feeling she had at the beginning, who would have thought that she would encounter it again in Shulan Xuan tonight, this feeling was full of fear and helplessness, as if she was targeted by a natural enemy.

Empress Xiao was stiff and didn't dare to move a bit, and after the fear, anger rose in her heart, as the queen of the world, she was threatened in the palace, although this threat didn't know where it came from, and I didn't know who it came from, at least it showed that she was definitely not the mistress of this palace, and she had been living in the illusion of self-deception for more than 20 years.

Thinking of this, her body trembled slightly, took a deep breath, Empress Xiao straightened her chest, the phoenix crown on her head shook with it, and just took half a step, the whole person seemed to be pressed by Qianjun, and her knees couldn't bear it, and she knelt in the snow.

"The concubine pleads guilty to the saint!" Empress Xiao had a stream of water flowing in her eyes, and she knelt down and said, but Shulanxuan's door curtain didn't move.

"The concubine is concerned about the saint, and I implore you to come in and serve by your side." Empress Xiao said again.

"What the Xiao family did disappointed me, the queen should go back to Yikun Palace to reflect on it!" Emperor Jialong's majestic and deep voice came from inside the door curtain, all of which had been a little lazy before.

The great eunuch Ying Jiugong stepped forward at this time to help Queen Xiao up, and said in a low voice: "The old slave sent the queen back to the palace." ”

Empress Xiao was a little depressed, and was supported by Ying Jiugong and slowly walked out of Shulanxuan, her mind was full of the Shengshang's sentence "What Xiao's actions disappointed me", thinking that she had entered the palace to serve in the Shengshang since she was a girl, and the husband and wife had never blushed, nor had they said half a heavy word, at this time, they were reprimanded by the Shengshang curtain in the Shulanxuan courtyard, how could they not make her sad, if there was not Ying Jiugong's support along the way, I am afraid it would be difficult to walk back to the sedan chair.

Ying Jiugong's front foot had just sent Queen Xiao away, and the back foot heard a series of hurried footsteps, and a playful smile appeared on the old eunuch's face, standing at the corner and seeing the steps of Shangyang Palace from a distance,

"Send one away, and another one, no wonder the saint is angry, the palace is really leaking everywhere!"

I wanted to think about it, but he still greeted him with a smile on his face, "Concubine Niangniang, please go back, Shulanxuan won't see anyone tonight." ”

The voice did not fall

, The close-fitting big girl next to the step went up to Ying Jiugong's hand and stuffed a handbag, the bag was not big but heavy, "Please also ask your father-in-law to be convenient and accommodating!" ”

"It's cold, Miss Nuanxiang, don't let your master freeze, hurry back to the palace!" Ying Jiugong didn't look down on this bag of things, but even he knew that he was short of hands.

Coincidentally, Jiang Guifei walked up and down directly, glanced at the great eunuch Ying Jiugong, and walked straight through the snow into the courtyard of Shulanxuan, but she encountered the same as Queen Xiao, if it wasn't for Ying Jiugong's support, she wouldn't be able to get out of the courtyard.

Nuan Xiang saw that the master was walking unsteadily, and hurriedly stepped forward to help, and had the heart to ask the great eunuch to do nine things, but he didn't dare to delay.

"Hurry back, look at this snow, it won't stop for a while!" Ying Jiugong said lightly, watching the group disappear at the end of the palace road.

Ying Jiugong returned to the courtyard and stood cautiously outside the curtain, "Everyone is sent away!" ”

There was no reply in the room, and after a while, someone lifted the curtain and came out, saluted Ying Jiugong and said, "Please also ask Father-in-law Ying to help arrange a place to rest." ”

"Doctor Mu ordered to come with the old slave, and the side hall next to him will be wronged." Should return the salute with nine merits.

If the five halls of Da Shui Xin are empty, there is a cold wind passing through the hall, and there is not even a maid who pours tea and water, only two young men and women who complain to each other. Cui Hanzhang saw that she was wearing thin clothes, so he took off his cloak and put it on her: "It snows heavily in the middle of the night, be careful of catching a cold!" ”

After saying that, he wanted to help her leave here, Yun Lan was afraid that he would leave, so she firmly hugged Cui Hanzhang's waist and didn't let go, and in desperation, Cui Hanzhang picked her up, walked to the stove in the hall and sat down, and turned the fire with one hand.

"When I was a child, I helped a lot with the kiln, and I still knew how to add firewood and blow the wind." Seeing Yun Lan in his arms casting a surprised gaze, Cui Hanzhang explained slowly.

Yun Lan didn't know the hardships of the kiln, but he just thought it was so bland, in fact, Cui Hanzhang's family life was quite poor at that time, if he didn't go to the kiln to help the family, someone would be hungry, not to mention squeezing out the bundle of sending him to the school to study.

The children of poor families were early in the year, and Cui Hanzhang's ability to go up the mountain and into the water to dig birds and catch fish has become greater. He naturally knew that the noble daughter of the Heavenly Family did not distinguish between grains, so he gently put Yun Lan on the seat, turned around and added firewood to the fire again.

Yun Lan was in the eyes of his lover at this time, looking at his tiger back, bee waist, mantis legs, and his chic posture was good for anything. Then he hugged his knees and stared at him, Cui Hanzhang slapped his hands and sat down after baking the fire, and said: "Haven't you heard of the princess, Weichen was called a rough man in the kiln in the early days, and practice makes perfect when serving the fire." ”

"That was the misunderstanding of the world when Cui Lang's reputation was not obvious, such as who doesn't know you today?" Yun Lan's eyes sparkled as she spoke.

"Can Cui Lang talk to Yun Lan about Xikou Qianyanzhou, it must be a good place for Zhong Lingyuxiu."

Cui Hanzhang added a handful of firewood and slowly recalled: "It is said that it is a thousand smoke islands, in fact, it is just a land of mountains and wilderness, since ancient times, it is seven mountains, two rivers and a field, and the people can not eat enough after a year of hard work, and then the kiln and porcelain are slightly improved, it is not a secret that Weichen often walked barefoot when he was young, and the soles of his feet were ground out of thick calluses, and now he is uncomfortable wearing shoes." ”

"Then why doesn't the Jianyang Mansion open a warehouse to release grain to help the people, and my father and emperor distribute Jishan grain to local governments every year." Princess Yunlan said indignantly when she heard that Cui Hanzhang often couldn't eat enough in her childhood.

"Since ancient times, the imperial power is not under the county, the government decree is not passed, which is also one of the disadvantages of this dynasty, it is necessary to know that Jianyang Mansion also has to rely on people to breathe, and the special dragon kiln porcelain has to rely on Qingyuan Mansion Cao to transport to the outside, and Qingyuan Mansion Cao transported to Jin

Anfu can get through the world, whether it is to go north to the provinces, or to the south to the sea, these transactions are all controlled by the imperial merchants, and the people have no choice but to take risks and choose wild and remote places, so they walked out of the ancient tea horse road, and the princess thinks that how much of this good grain can be distributed to Xikou Qianyanzhou? Cui Hanzhang patiently explained to her.

The children who grew up in the courtyard of the deep palace don't know that the world is difficult, Cui Hanzhang is so old that he has never seen the distribution of Jishan food, and the people are really like grasshoppers. Yun Lan was speechless by his words, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Then there is a clear stream, the duty of supervision and supervision, my father hates corruption the most, if it is such a person who even dares to be greedy for life-saving rations, the crime should be punished!"

Cui Hanzhang knew that if he continued to talk about it, it would involve the royal internal affairs, which would only increase the embarrassment, so he deliberately diverted the topic: "I'm afraid there will be a second watch."

"Cui Lang, you don't have to remind you, since your father has returned to the palace, the queen mother naturally has no time to take care of Yun Lan tonight." Princess Yunlan heard the meaning of Cui Hanzhang's words, so she directly clicked through.

"Although I have been in the palace all the year round, I have also heard that the Marquis of Lingwu took Cui Lang to burn the Ming Golden Tower, and two days ago, he also burned the Partridge Terrace in Xishuiguan? Princess Yunlan asked cautiously, pausing from time to time to ponder her words.

Cui Hanzhang was not surprised, Taikang was full of eyes and ears from various prefectures, and there were even more wind whispers, so naturally he couldn't hide anything from the palace, and he didn't deny these two things, and continued to listen to her with a smile.

"Bai Yanqiu has been crazy since he was a child, and the Lingwu Marquis Mansion is hereditary, in addition to the big things, there are also iron coupons and Danshu on top, but Cui Lang is different." Yun Lan said euphemistically after pondering for a while.

"The rumors are not credible, but this basin has been buckled on the heads of the two of us, what the princess said is not unreasonable, Weichen should keep it in mind." Cui Hanzhang got up and bowed, he knew that Princess Yunlan's euphemism was for his consideration, and he was afraid that he would offend too many people in Taikang, and his career would be worrying in the future.

In fact, Cui Bai and the others have been secretly tracking down the mastermind behind the burning of the Ming Golden Tower, but there is no progress in the matter because there is no clue, they have not suspected the Yulin Army defending the city, after all, they have to find a group of archers who can open a five-stone strong bow, and there is a basis for the rules and regulations between advance and retreat, and they can only be found in the army. It was only later that the Lin family married the Lingwu Marquis Mansion, which also dispelled the doubts of the two.

Cui Hanzhang didn't believe that such a group of archers could really come and go without a trace, and there must be a powerful force behind them. Some people want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but they never thought that Xiao Jing could endure the anger for a while, and chose to make peace with Xiaolianzhuang, and even more implicated and brought out the Xishuiguan Partridge Terrace, which led the two armies of Lingwu Hou to encircle and suppress the Partridge Terrace on a snowy night, and the matter was in an uproar, although the encirclement and slaughter of the spies of the Green Water Battalion, but Bai Yanqiu is now infamous in Shilin, and that night there was a royal historian on the Partridge Terrace who went to the meeting and was slaughtered, which provoked Qingliu to write a book to participate in the murderous murder of the two, and the situation in Taikang City became more and more confusing.

Yun Lan saw that Cui Hanzhang could listen to her admonition, and there were thousands of tenderness and sweetness in her heart. After all, she intends to entrust her life, so she naturally doesn't want Cui Lang and Jin'an Xiao to be too stiff, otherwise it will be difficult for the queen mother to be caught in the middle. Cui Hanzhang heard her worries, and fell into deep thought for a while, if he couldn't find the person who made the secret move, he would not be able to sleep well.

Just when the two of them were in the palace, there was a palace maid shouting loudly outside the hall, it was Princess Yunlan's personal palace maid, and she walked all the way to her ear, Yun Lan's face changed greatly after hearing this, although her face was reluctant, she still quickly got up and said to him: "Something happened to the queen mother, Yun Lan must go over immediately!" ”

Cui Hanzhang immediately got up and saluted Princess Yunlan........
