Chapter 8: Provocation
Chapter 008 Provocation
In the Yin'an Palace, Wu Zhi met Tao'er, and the strange thing is that Tao'er saw Wu Zhi only blessed, and did not kneel down, and looked Wu Zhi up and down after the ceremony, and there was even a sneer on his face.
Wu Zhi leaned back on the wide seat, looked at Tao'er and didn't ask questions, just waiting for Tao'er to explain his intentions.
"The prince is really patient! Tao'er admired ...... "Tao'er waited for a long time, and didn't wait for Wu Zhi to get angry or ask, only smiled self-deprecatingly, and lost the first silent battle.
Wu Zhi still didn't speak, and looked at Tao'er thoughtfully.
Tao'er was a little uneasy by him, and the confidence she was full of when she came gradually disappeared, but she remembered the amazing secret she had discovered, and her confidence immediately exploded, and she sneered: "Does the prince know my intention?" ”
Wu Zhi smiled, "I didn't know, but now I may have guessed a little." ”
Tao'er nodded with satisfaction: "The prince is really a smart person, and Tao'er will no longer beat around the bush!" As he spoke, he solemnly took out a piece of paper from his arms, walked a few steps, and put it on Wu Zhi's bookcase, "As long as the prince agrees to Tao'er's book, then Tao'er will keep a good secret for the prince!" ”
Wu Zhi didn't look at the paper, and said funny: "Do you know that you are in danger now?" ”
Tao'er snorted coldly: "The slave maid has been in the palace since she was a child, what haven't you experienced?" If the prince wants to kill me, just do it, but if Tao'er can't return to the palace today, the good things that the prince does tomorrow will definitely spread all over the forbidden palace! ”
Wu Zhi smiled: "You must have some excellent friend to help you keep the letters and so on?" If she doesn't see you turn back, she'll open the letter? Or even what do you have in the future? I'm in danger too? ”
Tao'er's face changed slightly, "Not bad." The prince can think about it carefully, which is more important than the reputation of the prince and the worthless life of the slave and maid? ”
Wu Zhi nodded roughly, picked up the paper handed by Tao'er and looked at it a few times, and said with a smile: "Just beg me not to enter the palace alone to see the Queen Mother?" ”
Tao'er nodded and said: "I'm doing this for the good of the prince, and even more so for the queen mother!" ”
Wu Zhi nodded and said, "Your conditions are not harsh!" ”
Momo breathed a sigh of relief. said: "This is also the reason why the slave dares to come to see the prince!" ”
Wu Zhi said "En": "Actually, I didn't want to enter the palace to see the Queen Mother again......"
Tao'er naturally knew what he meant by "entering the palace to see the Queen Mother", her face was relieved, and she suddenly knelt down. kowtowed to Wu Zhi three times: "Thank you for the Empress Dowager Tao'er!" ”
Wu Zhi smiled: "Xie doesn't have to, but I also have a quirk, that is, I am the most unthreatened!" ”
Tao'er's face changed, and she looked up at Wu Zhi.
Wu Zhi smiled: "I heard that you have done a few great things for the Queen Mother, and you are also the closest person to the Queen Mother, and seeing me today is also a love for the Lord." So whether I kill you or not, I'm really in trouble......"
Listening to Wu Zhi talk about his life and death lightly, Tao'er trembled in her heart, and mustered up the courage to say loudly: "It doesn't matter if the prince kills slaves and maids!" The life of the slave is not worth much, but the prince is not afraid of your name? ”
Wu Zhi shook his head. "Since you dare to come to see me single-handedly, it can be seen how heavy the Queen Mother's reputation is in your heart, but I don't believe that you will ruin her reputation!"
Tao'er snorted coldly: "The prince doesn't know anything about this. If it is said that the queen mother naturally favored slaves and maids in the past, but these days. The Queen Mother no longer takes the slave and maid to heart...... I won't call slaves and maids at night......" Speaking of this, he found that he was speechless, and he paused suddenly, his face turned red, and he said loudly: "So the prince thought that the slave and maid would give away their lives in vain because of the queen mother, but it was a big mistake!" ”
Wu Zhi then understood, thinking that the Queen Mother didn't know what was awkward these days, and no longer called Tao'er to sleep at night, Tao'er thought it was because of herself, jealousy, and sincerity to the Queen Mother, thinking that she would continue to communicate with the Queen Mother, the paper can't hold the fire, and after a long time, there will naturally be rumors, and the Queen Mother's reputation will inevitably be damaged. The two attacked each other, so that Taoer was willing to take a big risk and ran to threaten herself. It is said that women's jealousy is the most terrible, it seems that what they said is right, this peach's jealousy and love are intertwined, can you do something extremely stupid in your own opinion?
"Tao'er, maybe you think you're smart and clever, and you don't look at the world in your eyes, but in the eyes of this king, you're just a fool......" Wu Zhi shook his head and sighed.
Momo'er looked at Wuzhi with wide eyes in surprise.
"Alas...... It's really nerve-wracking, did you say that you came here to make me brain-breaking or not to kill you? Wu Zhi shook his head helplessly, seemingly dissatisfied with Tao'er running to die.
"Lord Wang...... You...... You're not afraid......" Momo stammered.
"I'm afraid you're big?" Wu Zhi held back a classic sentence, "If you have a confidant friend in the Forbidden Palace, if you can entrust your life, then I am really afraid of you, it's a pity, you won't have it, and it is impossible to have such a friend, take a step back and say, even if you have such a friend, can you rest assured that you will entrust the secret of this heaven and earth to her?" If you were so reckless, then I should have killed you, didn't you? Even if the city is full of wind and rain, it is better to die without proof than to leave a fly that likes to buzz around! ”
Peach's face was pale, and she couldn't speak, and at this time, she realized that she was not as smart as she imagined, and the noble king was also different from the impression of the forever smiling and leisurely prince, after he said this, his actions today seemed to be really Baba running to die.
If Tao'er is an ordinary person, then Wu Zhi didn't say anything about cutting it with a knife, but Tao'er is the most trusted person around Wang Guifei, and if she cuts her by herself, it will not be beautiful. Thinking about it again, Tao'er is also a protector of Wang Guifei, and it is a little inappropriate to cut her with a knife, but if you let her go back like this, it is absolutely impossible, how to deal with her is really enough to hurt her brains.
"Forget it, forget it, lock it up first, and talk about it when I think about it." Wu Zhi glanced at Tao'er a few times, "Do you know how to do it?" ”
Tao'er had already woken up from Fang Cai's shock, and immediately nodded: "Slaves and maids will never shout and scream. Nor will they talk nonsense. ”
Wu Zhi nodded, and a hint of murderous intent rose in his heart. In such a short period of time, she immediately asked Chu about the situation in front of her, and she knew how to survive, this woman was really not simple.
"Lord Yu! Gao Yu asks to see! "There are guards outside the Yin'an Palace, and they say loudly.
Wu Zhi glanced at Tao'er a few times, even if you escaped, I'll talk about it in a few days. immediately called a personal guard and ordered Tao'er to be locked up in the west courtyard, and no one was allowed to approach.
Wu Zhi's personal guards are all elite and tough people selected from Jiangnan Wang Jin. There is only one person in your eyes, even if your king says rebellion, these people will follow without frowning, and they have also helped Wu Zhi do some illegal things over the years, and it is a piece of cake for the palace to be imprisoned, and Tao'er does not cry or make trouble. obediently walked out behind the guards, and Wu Zhi went out to greet Gao Yu.
Gao Yu didn't have anything to do, but he was close to the set, and Wu Zhi sat with him until dinner. Leaving him to eat and drink, Gao Yu said goodbye with a smile, and even said that he didn't dare to interfere with your king's family banquet.
A few days later. There was a rumor in Tokyo officialdom that the king and the queen mother had a falling out over the Northern Expedition. Now that it has been incompatible, when asked why, the communicator has a heartfelt word, how many days has it been since you saw the queen mother to summon your king? It is also said that before the Northern Expedition, every three or two days, the Queen Mother must summon Wu Zhi into the palace to discuss matters, but after the court meeting, it has been nearly a month now, and Wu Zhi has never entered the Forbidden Palace.
The news of Wu Zhi and the Queen Mother's falling out spread far and wide, some people in Tokyo City were happy and some were worried, Xu Jiang came to the door several times, and hinted that Wu Zhi should ease the relationship with the Queen Mother, but Wu Zhi was absent-minded, and it seemed that he couldn't hear the meaning of Xu Jiang's words at all, and Xu Jiang had no choice but to leave.
Wu Zhi also vaguely heard this rumor, but he didn't have the heart to pay attention to it, Wang Guifei didn't summon herself, that was the best, otherwise it would be embarrassing to meet, which made Wu Zhi nerve-wracking Tao'er's business, Tao'er had been locked up in the house by himself for seven or eight days, I heard that there was a lot of uproar in the forbidden palace, and I was thinking about when I entered the palace to ask Wang Guifei what it meant, but I thought that Wang Guifei must have asked herself to release people, for the first time, Wu Zhi had a difficult decision.
Well, after a few days, I can't think of any way to cut her off, Wu Zhi made a decision before going to Xu Jiang's mansion to go to the banquet, today is June 24, it is the birthday of Erlang God (Wu Zhi's name), and it is also one of the festive days in Tokyo, Xu Jiang will set up a banquet to invite Wu Zhi.
Not to mention that Wu Zhi went to Xufu to go to the banquet, just say that on this day outside the Wanqing Gate outside the Shenbao Temple, early set up a number of color sheds, every year on the birthday of Jiro Jilang in the west of the state, the Calligraphy Bureau and the Taiguan Bureau under the Ministry of Rites will make plays outside the Shenbao Temple, such as the cane, slingshot, Ge Shooting tools, saddle bridles, titles, Fan cages and the like, all of which are exquisite, and will invite famous artists in Tokyo to make music, acrobatic dances, food provided by the Taiguan Bureau, and the people have fun.
This year is the first year of Xuanhe, the first celebration after the new emperor ascended the throne, the Ministry of Rites did not dare to be sloppy at all, and the waiter Xu Yi rushed to receive the messenger, hoping to make the Erlang Zhenjun Temple Fair lively and lively, and it was good to show his face in front of the Queen Mother.
In the dark of the busy work in the past few days, things have finally been done, the color booth has been set up, the preparations for the play are ingenious, and the famous artists in Tokyo City have also been coerced and lured by themselves, or softly begged, and most of them will be present. Looking at the bustling crowd in front of the regulations, Xu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, remembering that he was once a dignified auxiliary minister, and fell to the point of saying soft words in front of the play, Xu Yi couldn't help but shake his head, who called these actors or the prince's new favorite, or the important ministers love prostitutes, but his current small Ministry of Rites is not able to offend.
"Squire-sama, it's been a long time! Give it, it turns out that today's temple fair is a waiter's errand, no wonder it is so neat! ”
Xu Yi turned around, and a gentleman walked over next to him, followed by a few helpers, holding a few vicious heads in his hands, and his sharp white teeth were exposed, looking very fierce.
She is in her twenties, with triangular eyes, and her white face is covered with bones, and there are not a few taels of flesh, which is overindulgence at first glance.
"Ah, Yanai, haha, why are you here!" Xu Yi was disgusted in his heart, and he could only go up to say hello, but now he is not as good as he was at the beginning, and he can only stutter to the loser of the Gao Yu family.
Gao Yanei staggered over, folding the fan in his hand and turning lightly: "Isn't this here to see the excitement?" ”
Xu Yi secretly said in his heart, the eldest girl and little daughter-in-law who came to see others were real, and said with a smile on his face: "Well, it's over today." If you want to see the excitement again, it's going to be Tanabata! ”
Gao Yanei's eyes lit up, and he let out a lewd smile. "Tanabata? Good Tanabata! Better than today......"
Xu Yi scolded him for being a lewd stick or something like that, and he only laughed dryly on his face.
As he was talking, he suddenly heard a commotion in the distance, and then an official hurried over, "Lord Squire." The princess has arrived! ”
Xu Yi was stunned for a moment: "Which princess?" ”
"Your King's Mansion!" The officer replied.
Xu Yi's face turned green, and the fright he was in your palace was vivid, and he looked up and looked around. There is a restaurant not far away, Xu Yi hurriedly ran to the restaurant, and the junior official who came to deliver the letter was stunned for a while, Lord Xu was the most utilitarian, and when he met Shangguan, he would always go up to greet him, how could the princess of the powerful prince's mansion arrive. He hid instead? I was puzzled, and I could only shake my head and retreat, the princess was here to visit, and it was not my turn to greet a petty official like herself.
Gao Yanei was stunned for a moment. turned to snort coldly, staggered into the restaurant, and led the vicious dog to follow. The guy at the restaurant said, "Why did you bring the dog in?" I've been hit a few times. He was pushed aside and didn't dare to speak again.
Gao Yanei saw Xu Yi standing by the window and looking outside, walked over and said, "Lao Tzu is also the most unfortunate to see the people of your palace, it's really unlucky!" ”
Xu Yi didn't answer, he didn't dare to say bad things about your palace in public.
At this time, I saw that on the long street outside, dozens of ceremonial soldiers first ran over, each holding a sweep and a gold-plated silver bucket, and sprinkled it in front, and behind the soldiers, dozens of colorful flags were raised, and the gold-armored warriors were raised.
There are dozens of palace concubines, all of whom are real pearls. Hanging the delicate tufts of the head of Luo, the red Luo pin the golden robe, riding a horse and riding a green Luo cover in front of the way.
Finally, it is the red Luo pin gold palm fan to cover the horse-drawn carriage, take the gold and copper eaves, covered with cut brown, vermilion beam ridge, the upper column seeps gold and copper casting to the phoenix flower eaves, about five feet high, deep foot, four feet wide, six people can sit inside, four-dimensional embroidered forehead bead curtain, white vine flowers. On the carriage, the two walls are full of gold flowers, and the wooden figures are decorated with immortals. There are 12 people on two rods in the team, and the front and back of the rod are set up with green silk goldfish hooks.
Behind the carriage, there were thirty-six gold-armored warriors with gold, silver, axes, and spears, accompanied by a guard of honor.
Xu Yi sighed when he saw it: "Your King's Mansion is really a big formation. "This is the prince, the princess is on a regular trip, if you say the princess, except for the royal palace that has been specially gifted, there is no other prince and princess who has this pomp.
Gao Yanei snorted coldly and didn't say anything. A helper behind him sneered: "What kind of noble palace, it won't be beautiful for a few days!" ”
Another group of idle people also said: "That is, I heard that the Queen Mother intends to cut off your king's title, so it's just this year!" ”
Xu Yizi has also heard rumors of discord between the queen mother and the king, and he wants to come to these helpers to listen to what Gao Yanei said, but if he says anything about cutting off the title, isn't it nonsense? Even if the Queen Mother wants to, she can't do it? Unless your king plots rebellion and is convicted of crime, if you want to move other people's princes, it is just a fantasy. Only these ignorant people in the market can think of it.
After looking at the two smug helpers for a few moments, Xu Yi sneered in his heart, the noble prince's mansion can pull out a hair from your ancestors to the eighteenth generation of your descendants, but it's ridiculous that you two are still boasting here, do you think there is a high government to support you? If there is a master, there must be a servant, all of them are ignorant rats.
Gao Yanei heard the two gangs gossiping, but his face was very good, and he said with a smile: "You can't say that, let alone talk nonsense in this restaurant, don't be listened to." ”
The two gangs agreed with a smile, and another laughed and said: "Yanei is now in the limelight, the Queen Mother knows the name of the Yanai, and she is very favored by Yanei, and she wants to give Yanei a golden beast, if it weren't for the king, he grabbed it halfway, but the Queen Mother is not affectionate, which round of the mighty general gets your palace?" ”
Gao Yanei said with a smile: "This is also the Queen Mother's old man's promotion." ”
As he was talking, he suddenly saw the princess's car slowly stop, the brocade curtain of the gold-inlaid carriage was raised, and a girl with picturesque eyebrows walked down, the service was not gorgeous, but it brought out the girl's delicate and lovely.
Gao Yanei saw that the girl's eyes immediately became hot, but he heard the helper next to him shouting: "Isn't that a golden beast?" ”
Gao Yanei saw that the girl was holding a golden beast in her arms, far away, and she couldn't see it clearly.
"Alas, this should have been something in the ya!" There was a sigh.
Gao Yan's inner face sank, and he looked at the golden beast in the arms of the delicate girl and was silent.
The delicate girl seemed to have taken a fancy to something on the roadside stall, so she stopped the carriage and walked over to take a closer look, and several guards followed her, so frightened that the vendors cowered and hid aside.
A helper smiled and said: "This is the princess Niangniang, I heard that the princesses of your king are as beautiful as fairies, and it looks really true!" ”
Another helper said: "Hmph, it's not necessarily prettier than Mrs. Yanei!" ”
A few idle people shut up and said that they didn't shoot horses like this, right? It's just that the palace marshal and the old man have set up a family affair, and the young lady's appearance is also in the posture of a person, and she is jealous, and several concubines in Gao Ya are tortured, and Gao Ya is helpless, only a few concubines are raised outside, and they are no longer brought back to the house.
Gao Yanei listened to the helper talk about his wife, his face was also gloomy, and he was about to speak, when he suddenly saw the beautiful girl pick up a jade object on the stall to watch, and naturally let go of a hand holding the golden beast, the golden beast seemed to scream, suddenly broke free from the arms of the beautiful girl, jumped to the ground and ran towards the restaurant very quickly.
The beautiful girl was caught off guard and exclaimed, and the guards around her were stunned for a moment and then hurriedly chased after the golden beast.
Gao Yanei laughed when he saw it, and suddenly the laughter stopped, and he shouted: "Let the dog go!" Several helpers were stunned for a moment, and a clever helper of Xuanye understood, stretched out his finger and pointed to the golden beast that was running, and said in a low voice: "Go!" The hand loosened the reins.
The vicious dog suddenly jumped out of the window, and pounced on the golden beast very quickly, the golden beast didn't seem to know that danger was coming, and ran towards a carriage next to the restaurant, and in the carriage railing, there were a few pigs to be slaughtered that the restaurant had just bought.
In the exclamation of the guards, the vicious dog slammed the golden beast to the ground, and then the fierce scream of the golden beast sounded, and Gao Yanei shouted: "Collect the dog!" The helper whistled violently, and the vicious dog was very well trained, and left the golden beast and ran towards the restaurant.
Gao Yanei strode out and shouted: "Ah, what is this saying, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......",
Several guards had already rushed to the side of the golden beast, and some guards hurriedly picked it up and greeted the handsome girl who was trotting over, and the rest of the guards surrounded Gao Yanei and wanted to take people.
The gang who followed behind Gao Yanei hurriedly shouted: "Don't take the wrong person!" This is the son of Gao Dianshuai, I can't help it, I can't help it! ”
Several guards hesitated slightly, someone ran to the side of the beautiful girl to report, thinking that it was to ask the princess to take an idea, the beautiful girl looked at the golden beast on the leg with blurred flesh and blood, her eyes were red, and she couldn't care about anything else, she reached out to pick it up, the guard holding the little pig was startled, her hand shook, the golden beast "plopped", fell to the ground, and screamed louder, the beautiful girl looked at the guard with disgust, squatted down and picked up the golden piglet, and heard the guard next to her tell that the owner of the dog was the son of Gao Dianshuai, and the beautiful girl glanced at Gao Yanei, Hurriedly turned around and walked towards the carriage, wiped his tears and said, "Madame, I'm afraid I'm in a hurry, or go back to the house to treat the golden pig." ”
Several guards glanced at Gao Yanei hatefully, and walked behind the beautiful girl, since the princess didn't speak, they couldn't take people.
Gao Yanei saw the tears in the eyes of the beautiful girl, and suddenly felt a trace of guilt in his heart, but it was fleeting, and he turned back triumphantly, and several helpers all raised their thumbs and patted the horse, what "Your Wangfu is also afraid of Yanei", what "Yanai is clever, and easily folds the face of Guiwangfu" and so on.
Gao Ya also no longer paid attention to Xu Yi in the restaurant, Xu Yi was so frightened that he pushed off the second floor from Gao Ya's dog, Gao Ya scolded him in his heart for being as timid as a mouse, waved his hand, and led the gang to go back to the house.
Back at the palace marshal's mansion, the excitement in Gao Yanei can't be calmed down, what about your king's mansion? Haven't you been bullied by yourself? What can you endure me? Grab my stuff? No matter who you are, you have to look good!
With a ruthless heart, he entered the backyard and asked the little guy in the house about his father, but he went to the Taiwei Mansion, and today Xu Jiang held a banquet to invite the ministers of the court, Gao Yanei heard that Gao Yu was not at home, and he was even more comfortable, and he chattered when he met every day, which was really annoying.
