Chapter 26: The Mystery

Yang Yanzhao saw Chai Xiyun and should have returned home early, but he happened to know that she was sick on the way out of the palace, and he couldn't let go of it, so he begged Gao Qiong to help him enter the inner palace to investigate, and he waited at the second palace gate, Gao Qiong went back and forth for nearly an hour before hurrying back, Yang Yanzhao saw him, hurriedly strode forward, and asked, "How is it?" ”

"Say while walking" Gao Qiong took a breath and pulled Yang Yanzhao to the gate of the palace, "I just saw Qing Xuan in the Taiyi Bureau, saying that Sister Chai had some rashes on her neck and back because she did not accept fir powder, but fortunately, Sister Chai had this disease when she was young, and the Imperial Doctor Jiang in the palace knew how to recuperate, so it was no big deal." ”

"Since I have had this disease before, and I know that the county lord is not satisfied with fir powder, how can there be such a thing in the palace?" Yang Yanzhao asked sideways.

"In the past, the imperial doctor said that the amount of fir powder added to the incense was not much, as long as it was not in contact with the texture, even if the incense was lit, it would not hurt, so in addition to Sister Chai's own Fengzao Palace and the West Palace where the Empress Dowager Zhou lived, this thing was not banned in other palaces, this time it was because she stayed in the palace of the concubine for a long time, and the content of the fir powder in the sandalwood she used was very large, so it would be so serious, I heard that the official family was furious, and punished the concubine's concubine, and even Pan Long and Pan Leopard were demoted."

"Lady Concubine" Yang Yanzhao muttered for a moment, then said with a pause, "She invited the county lord into the palace today, wasn't it for Pan Long?" She should please the county lord at this time, how could she let the county lord have an accident in her palace. ”

"It is estimated that Concubine Shu is also an unintentional mistake, she will not take the risk to touch the official family's scales, to put it bluntly, Sister Chai's matter is just the introduction of Pan's punishment, and the matter in the court is the root of angering the official family, you also heard one or two outside the palace, how arrogant Pan Mei and Lu Duosun are!"

"The county lord once had this disease, and the palace was taboo, how could the concubine be careless, the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, and I always felt that someone was targeting the county lord."

"You mean, someone is trying to harm Sister Chai." Gao Qiong couldn't help frowning when she heard this, and said, "But what does Sister Chai do, she is not involved in the court, she is not involved in the harem, and there is the Fu family behind her, and she is also very popular with the officials, and the ladies in the palace are too late to scold her, who will come up with their minds to deal with her, there is no reason for this!" ”

"It seems that there is no reason, but only in this way can it be explained, I am afraid that this person wants to harm the county lord, frame the concubine, kill two birds with one stone, thanks to the county lord's deep blessings, this rash does not start in the important place, if it is born on the face, and then there is something in case, then the county lord is not... Thinking about the punishment of the concubine by the official family, it is by no means as simple as punishing her. Yang Yanzhao analyzed softly, Gao Qiong raised his eyes and glanced at him, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "It makes sense, it makes sense... So be it! Tomorrow is the fifteenth, and my mother will enter the palace to ask the official family for peace, and I beg my mother to inquire. ”

"You don't have to bother the eldest princess" Yang Yanzhao stopped, "The county lord is smart and will take precautions, but now that the county lord lives in the deep palace, it is inconvenient for me to see it, and Brother Lao often enters the palace to visit." ”

"You! What are you worried about, Empress Dowager Zhou is the aunt of the county lord, and she will only take care of Sister Chai more carefully. ”

"Rashes always suffer, I remember in my heart, everything is Brother Lao." Liulang raised his arm to thank him, Gao Qiong sneered when he heard this, and said with a smile, "If it weren't for learning your Yang family's return pistol, I wouldn't care about your business!" ”

Liulang Lang laughed a few times, and was about to get on the horse, but saw a double-bridled carriage stopped at the palace gate, with a golden bell hanging on the lilac curtain, and a servant woman beside him, Gao Qiong carefully looked at the girl standing on the side of the carriage, who was originally the personal maid of Princess Zhao Qingyu of Tongchang, called Yuechan, and was looking at it, the Yuechan girl had walked to the front curtain of the carriage and helped Zhao Qingyu down.

Zhao Qingyu was born to Concubine Fang Hui, Chen Wangyuan's younger sister, since she is also a piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, today she is wearing a colorful phoenix fairy skirt, the emerald cloak outside is made of gold flower brocade, hanging to the ground, black hair cicada sideburns with lilac butterflies, hanging in the high bun with beads, carefully depicted eyebrows, with appropriate makeup, but for her to add a bit of color.

Gao Qiong had the intention to avoid it, Zhao Qingyu had already cast his eyes on this side, and since he had taken a look, it was naturally difficult to dodge again, so he hurriedly pulled Liulang forward and asked An Dao, "Her Royal Highness the princess is well." ”

Zhao Qingyu had already seen Gao Qiong and the others in the carriage, under the pretext of being depressed in the car, he specially ordered someone to stop the car, walked closer in his clothes, and bowed his knees and saluted, "Cousin, why is he so polite", as he spoke, his eyes looked at Yang Yanzhao a few times, he was receiving the number of gifts, standing with his hands down, his expression was as calm as water, his eyebrows and eyes were as handsome as before, Zhao Qingyu smiled and said, "This is the sixth son of the Yang family!" The son was heroic at the birthday banquet of the three royal brothers that day, but it was unforgettable! ”

Zhao Qingyu's praise without shying away made Gao Qiong feel a little inappropriate, Yu Guang glanced at Liulang, he was also surprised, and hurriedly replied, "Her Royal Highness the princess has a good reputation." ”

"Childe doesn't have to be humble, my brother Wang also appreciates Childe very much." Zhao Qingyu's eyes were affectionate, and he looked at Liulang with deep meaning, Yang Yanzhao lowered his eyes, but he just accompanied a smile, and did not answer, Zhao Qingyu then moved his gaze again, turned to Gao Qiong and said, "It's too early to disperse, and my cousin is late today." ”

"Something was delayed, so I was late for this time." Gao Qiong responded softly, and then asked again, "Where has the princess been?" ”

"I went to my brother's mansion, my uncle entered Beijing from Yangzhou, and it was inconvenient for my mother to leave the palace, so I went on her behalf." Zhao Qingyu said with a smile.

"It turned out that Fang Garrison was here." Gao Qiong muttered, and Zhao Qingyu said again, "What, listening to the meaning of my cousin's words, don't you know about my uncle's transfer back to Beijing?" ”

"Oh~" Gao Qiong took Liulang's gaze sideways, and said with a wry smile, "I haven't heard the official mention it." ”

"My father's decree just two days ago may not have been mentioned in the court, and my cousin should not know it."

"In this way, I have to find a time to congratulate Lord Fang on his promotion to the position of Beijing official." Gao Qiong raised his arm and saluted, Zhao Qingyu also laughed lightly, Gao Qiong said, "It's not early, there is still something in the house, so I will leave first." ”

Zhao Qingyu didn't say much, bowed down and saluted, "Cousin is easy to go, and the sixth son is easy to go." ”

"Wechen retired" Yang Yanzhao also saluted.

The two of them walked a few steps, and they both turned over and got on their horses, and Yang Yanzhao then took the words of the two of them and said, "If the elder brother thinks that a move back to the horse gun is not sincere enough, how about you invite you to eat and drink today?" ”

Gao Qiong nodded hurriedly and said, "Naturally, it's good, a pot of Qianrichun with a little song from the girl from Qinghefang, it was a fairy-like day." ”

"Who said that you were going to Qinghefang" Yang Yanzhao grabbed the reins of the horse and said, "It's not that there is no singing in Drunken Taoyuan." ”

"Can that be compared?" Gao Qiong asked with a stunned expression.

Yang Yanzhao smiled lightly and replied, "Me! Only go to the restaurant, not to the music place. ”

"Rokuro, you're bored!" Gao Qiong's tone added a bit of eagerness.

Yang Yanzhao didn't answer his words, only turned around and asked, "Are you going?" ”

Gao Qiong exhaled reluctantly and replied, "Go, why don't you go, I also admit it to the drunken Taoyuan." ”

"Hahahaha..."

The two of them whipped their horses together, leaving a few hearty smiles and leaving.

Zhao Qingyu stood stint, looking at the two heroic postures that were going away immediately, but "the horse is like a meteor and the man is like an arrow", after a while, only the dust splashed by the horse's hooves is still clear, Zhao Qingyu raised his hand to neatly show his hair, and unconsciously put a shallow smile on his lips and teeth.

Zhao Guangyi intended to promote Xu Zhan, Xu Zhan also noticed it, and waited in the Nanqing Palace early, and when Zhao Defang returned, the two entered the study.

"It's not the first time that the Liao envoy has come to see him, but it's unusual to send off relatives, and they are His Royal Highness the Prince, so naturally they should be cautious." Zhao Defang rummaged through the rituals and casually motioned to "sit by yourself".

Xu Zhan responded, and took the copywriting from Zhao Defang's hand, only to hear Zhao Defang say, "The Ministry of Rites has prepared the state banquet properly, and the overall regulations are also here, you can only take care of this part of the placement in Beijing, carefully check if there are any shortcomings, if there is anything unclear, go to the Ministry of Rites Shao Shilang, he will do his best to help you." ”

"Yes, thank you for the arrangement." Xu Zhan replied.

"The officials have high hopes for you, and Xiuping should be more cautious." Zhao Defang shared a cup of tea, sat beside him and admonished.

Xu Zhan smiled lightly, "Don't worry, since Zhan is willing to enter the official career, he should do his best to assist His Majesty." ”

"This king has read your "Theory of Field Rent", it is not like the knowledge that should be there at this age, and he is really familiar with a hundred books, and after experience, Uncle Xu teaches his son well!" For Xu Zhan, Zhao Defang is an absolute appreciation, appreciating his gentleness and elegance, and appreciating his open-mindedness and handsomeness.

Zhao Defang thought to himself, sighed lightly, and only heard Xu Zhan raise his eyes and ask, "I heard that the county lord is sick, I don't know if there is a big problem." ”

Zhao Defang couldn't help but be stunned when he heard him Chai Xiyun, and there were thousands of persuasive words in his heart, but he couldn't speak, so he only replied, "Uh~ This Wang Fang came out of the West Palace, the royal sister looked good, there was no big problem, there are doctors who are carefully recuperating, it doesn't hurt to think about it, you don't have to worry." ”

"That's fine." Xu Zhan responded with a light smile.

Zhao Defang leaned over slightly, leaned closer and asked with a little tentativeness, "Xiuping, you tell the truth with this king, do you think Yun'er is good." ”

Xu Zhan was stunned, slowly swallowed the tea he had just drunk, put down the teacup, and replied, "His Royal Highness the County Lord is beautiful and noble, erudite and talented, and naturally it is good." ”

"Are you rejoicing?" Zhao Defang asked.

Xu Zhan smiled lightly, "How could the prince ask like this, only the county lord is not happy with his subordinates, how can his subordinates not like the county lord." ”

"Ahh Zhao Defang realized that his words were inappropriate, and hurriedly stopped.

Xu Zhan can see his embarrassment, and he can also understand why he is embarrassed, Chai Xiyun entered the palace today, and now he is still in the palace, everyone is watching, and the official family also knows, so now the one who is in the West Palace is the real Yongan County Lord, so who did he just see in the Nanqing Palace? Who called himself "Yun'er" at the luncheon that day? Who is the Eight Wise Kings asking? Xu Zhan thought about the cold figure, and there were some waves in his heart, but this wave was quickly replaced by curiosity, the county lord of Yong'an, Chai Xiyun, the beautiful woman who is extremely noble in the market, the bright and beautiful woman in the mouth of the Pan brothers, and the sister of the Eight Sages King in the palm of his hand, what is it.
