For half a month, Cui Yi came back for lunch after the next dynasty and came back to take a bath and sleep, but the newlywed Yan'er couple never had any other communication.

Xiaoqiu was very anxious about the situation that her young lady fell out of favor less than a month after she got married, and every morning when she came to serve, she saw that the two of them were neatly dressed and the beds were tidy, and she was so anxious that she didn't know what to do.

After Cui Yi left that morning, Xiaoqiu continued to wring the handkerchief, wanting to speak and stopping, Zhiying finally couldn't stand it anymore, and put down the dishes and chopsticks: "Xiaoqiu, you still don't let people eat, ah?" Every morning you are as anxious as an old hen that has hatched eggs, and what do you want to say, you just say no? ”

"Oh miss, how can you be so indifferent?" Xiaoqiu couldn't hold it anymore, so she had to come forward and pull her sleeve, "You and the prince have been married for more than half a month, why don't you ...... that?"

Zhiying almost squirted out the porridge in his mouth: "That that, that, what?" I said you girl, you don't think about anything else in your head all day long? ”

Xiaoqiu blushed, shook her sleeves and muttered: "Xiaoqiu is also anxious for you, they all say that women are fleeting, and it is not easy to keep a man's heart, how can you not have a few more children while you are young and beautiful, so that you will be old in the future, and you will have someone to rely on!" When two people have a child, their hearts will really be connected! ”

Zhiying laughed and laughed: "You girl, you think really far, your young lady and I are only fifteen this year, and it won't take a day or two to get old, right?" And even if I have a baby, what can I do? How much can it help him? When the prince marries the princess, I still have to be afraid not to let my children be bullied, isn't it okay to find trouble? ”

Xiaoqiu looked at her in surprise: "Miss...... You...... You have to plan for yourself, you have to have a child for yourself, not for the prince, no, it's also for the prince, but it's mainly for yourself-"

"Okay, okay, I see that you haven't made it clear yourself, so don't wrap me in," Zhiying raised her hand in surrender begging for mercy, "Xiaoqiu, you have to remember, I married first, for the eldest grandson's family, for the safety of my father and mother, not for the sake of favor, that's not what I should do, understand?" ”

Xiaoqiu shook her head in confusion: "I don't understand." ”

Zhiying sighed and patted her shoulder with her hand: "The eldest grandson's family has a princess, and another princess, the prince and the prince are people on two boats, which means that my father is now stepping on two boats, and if I don't get a good one, it will be over, so the most important thing for me is not to catch the heart of the prince, nor to give birth to a child quickly, but to ensure that my father will not fall into the water, understand?" ”

Xiaoqiu was even more confused: "No, I don't understand, but Miss-"

"If you don't understand, forget it, in short, I have a sense of proportion, you don't have to worry about me." Zhiying picked up the chopsticks again to eat breakfast, and no longer accompanied Xiaoqiu to worry about the problem of giving birth early.

In order to ensure that his father's eldest grandson Tai does not fall into the water with one foot on the two boats, the most important point is to ensure that the two ships advance smoothly, and as far as the current situation is concerned, the captain of the prince's ship is stable and stable, but Cui Yi's boat is shaky, and there is a possibility of capsizing if a wave comes, so what she has to do now is not to quickly give birth to children to prevent old age, but to strive to let Cui Yi establish his own power, so that the prince does not dare to act rashly, otherwise Cui Yi's boat will be smashed and sunk by the prince, and she will have more children. In the end, it's not the same to sink to the bottom of the river?

Although Cui Jie is a genuine duplicitous, but the superficial kung fu that catches the hearts of the people is really in place, he respects everyone who works for him, whether the other party is a strategist, a martial arts general, or a rooster and dog thief in the market, the soldier dies for his confidant, Cui Jie's respect and generosity, so that those who do things for him are all willing to do their best to do their best to arch him to the throne, and finally even his father Emperor Jianyuan was played to death by him, and gave up the throne in advance.

As the saying goes, one fence has three piles, Cui Jie's success is inseparable from the help of his group of capable and righteous people, on the other hand, Cui Yi's side, except for one Cao Qian, there are really no reliable piles, and this prince who looks down on literati doesn't even have a mouthpiece in the court, how can she not worry?

After breakfast, Zhiying planned to go out for a walk, take a walk, and think carefully about how to help Cui Yi recruit troops.

It's absolutely not okay to post a recruitment list openly, this is tantamount to telling the emperor and the prince that we are going to rebel, so secretly envelop the dots? Among other things, she could not even touch the shadow of those who would play a key role in the changes in the situation in the coming years, let alone solicit them.

Xiaoqiu followed her, looking around, saying that this hairpin was beautiful, and for a while saying that the satin cloth was beautiful, and all she wanted was to help her "recapture the heart of the prince", and she really didn't dare to accept her kindness, so she could only say a few perfunctory sentences from time to time, and her mind was not on these things that were dressed up.

When passing by Jingtai Street, Zhiying saw several family members pushing a man dressed as a scholar out of the gate with rude movements, and the man dressed as a scholar was pushed down the steps with a rumbling.

"Get out! It's not uncommon for us adults to deal with people like you! One of the housekeepers took a sip unceremoniously, turned around and went back to guard the door.

The man in the form of a scholar crawled two steps on the ground with his hands and feet, and staggered to his feet, his robe covered with mud and plaster, and he was embarrassed. He held the crooked turban with one hand, reached into his arms with the other, took out an envelope, looked at it over and over, shook his head and sighed as he looked, and finally crumpled it into a ball with hatred, slammed it on the ground, patted the dirt on his body and walked away.

Zhiying frowned and looked at it, always feeling that the person looked a little familiar, but he was not sure, so he had to order Xiaoqiu: "Go and pick up the ball of paper he threw away and let me have a look." ”

Xiaoqiu ran over to pick up the crumpled envelope according to her words, and Zhiying flattened it, only to see that the envelope was written "Zhongshu Shilang Ma Pingchuan", unsealed it, and took out a few letterheads full of words from it.

It seems to be a cover letter, and Zhi Ying hastily read the Liwen on the letterhead, and it is also decent, but it is still a little stiff, and it seems that he does not often write this kind of thing to praise merit.

Four or five pieces of letterhead, turning to the end and seeing the inscription, Zhiying shouted: "Oh no! ”

Xiaoqiu immediately became nervous: "What's wrong, what's wrong?" Did he write anything rebellious? ”

Zhiying wanted to cry without tears, and spread out the letterhead in his hand: "No...... We missed it! It's broken, it's broken, and now I don't know if I can catch up. As he spoke, he stuffed the letterhead envelope to Xiaoqiu, and chased in the direction where the man had left.

Xiaoqiu took it and looked at it inexplicably, and there was a name inscribed at the end of the letterhead - Jiaocheng Baili Zanwenyu.

"Who is this?" Xiaoqiu didn't recognize it, but Zhiying was about to run away, so she had to hurry up and catch up, "Madame, wait for me!" ”

Baili praises his people, Xiaoqiu doesn't know, but Zhiying is like thunder, he was fifteen years old in the scholastic examination to get Xiucai, once expected to be the first name Xie Yuan three years later, but who would have thought that he would take the exam for 12 years, not to mention Xie Yuan, he didn't even lift people, he gave up the imperial examination in a fit of anger, came to the capital with a dream, and finally didn't know what kind of coincidence, he became the only strategist under the command of the martial king Cui Yi, Cui Yi escaped death from Cui Jie's hands several times, all thanks to his clever plan.

It's a pity that such a genius died of illness after Cui Yi was relegated to Ganzhou, and if he didn't die, the outcome of the Battle of Bailonggang might be different.

Such a vital person, how could Zhiying let him slip out from under his nose?

Bailizan walked dejectedly in the bustling crowd, and several frustrations made him look unpopular, no different from ordinary scholars with talents.

Zhiying secretly followed behind him, observing all the way not far away, Xiaoqiu chased after him with a shout, and was hidden in the corner of the wall by Zhiying with his mouth: "What are you calling, lest you not be discovered?" ”

Xiao Qiuqi said: "Isn't Madam going to chase him, why are you afraid of being discovered by him?" ”

Holding Yingbai glanced at her: "Stupid girl, I just ran up and invited him to the house as a guest, can people not think it is strange?" There has to be a suitable opportunity, you are so yelling, others may think that we are some kind of suspicious characters. ”

Xiaoqiu was even more surprised: "Invite him to the house as a guest?" But didn't General Cao say that day, the prince has never liked scholars, we invited him back, what should the prince do if he is not happy? Or don't. ”

Zhiying stood up straight and taught him a serious lesson: "It is not my criterion to do things if the prince is unhappy, as long as it is for his good, I have to do what he is unhappy about, don't be verbose, it will be bad if you lose it for a while." ”

Xiaoqiu couldn't persuade the master, so she had to follow her all the way, looking horizontally and vertically, the scholar in front of her was not very special, how did he win the favor of his wife? Don't understand.

Don't say she doesn't understand, Cui Yi doesn't understand either.

After the next dynasty, Cui Yi temporarily decided not to rush home on horseback, but to wander the streets, planning to buy a gift for the "concubine", but who knew that the "concubine" was walking sneakily on the street with the maid, as if she was following someone. Cui Yi followed their line of sight, and soon found the lost and depressed Bailizan, and couldn't help but be full of suspicions - they know? It's impossible, the eldest grandson Tai's family education is very strict, and he will never allow his daughter to interact with young men, and if you really want to know each other, do you need to sneak behind? That is, I don't know, but if I don't know, how can I follow people?

With doubts, Cui Yi sent the little maid back first, and followed behind Zhiying and Xiaoqiu, he wanted to see what the little concubine who had just passed the door was secretly chasing a man, what he wanted to do.

Bailizan didn't know that Zhiying was following him, and Zhiying also didn't know that Cui Yi was following him, and the three of them walked a street away from the back of the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finch, and finally Bailizan entered an inn, said hello to a scholar who was also dressed plainly, and sat in the lobby on the first floor and drank tea.
