Yang Ling didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly responded: "Yes, the minister will go immediately", said a salute, and hurriedly walked out of the hall. Ma Yongcheng stood behind Emperor Zhengde, his eyes were dripping, and he looked very anxious when he left.

Seeing that Yang Ling had disappeared outside the palace gate, Ma Yongcheng couldn't help it, and hurriedly said to Zhengde: "Your Majesty, the slave is in charge of the procurement of the Internal Affairs Office, if there are slaves and maids in the inner palace who steal and steal, the slaves will recognize it at a glance, so it is better for the slaves to take a look."

Zhengde said "um", but he didn't take it too seriously, only waved his hand, and Ma Yongcheng hurriedly followed. Gu Dayong stood behind Zhengde, and when he saw his panicked appearance, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a faint smile.

Who doesn't salivate over the errand of the procurement director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs? At the beginning, Gu Dayong was also very angry with this son, but Ma Yongcheng was originally on an errand in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so he was the first to get close to the water.

Since he took charge of this mission, he has been very close to the Gongmiao Kui of the West Factory Factory, and he has not paid much attention to Gu Dayong as soon as he climbs this high branch.

Zhang Fubao didn't know what Yang Ling gave her, pinched it and felt a little weird, she hurriedly returned to her seat, and raised it with itching to take a look, her sleeves fell, and in her hand was actually a large cake with slices of meat, and there were tooth marks on it, Zhang Fubao couldn't help crying and laughing.

Zhang Tianshi frowned when he saw it, and put on the appearance of a brother and said in an old-fashioned manner: "How old are you?" Is the starving ghost reincarnated? A big girl's family went to see the emperor and was reluctant to put down the cake, and the face of Longhu Mountain was lost by you."

"I, I", Zhang Fubao was so angry that his cheeks bulged, but he couldn't say a word.

As soon as Yang Ling walked out of the palace gate with his daughter from the palace, he saw Princess Yongfu standing under the pillar with a little maid, and when he saw Yang Ling coming out, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and came forward. As soon as she took a few steps, she saved her identity, and out of reserve, she had to stop again, but the anxious look between her eyebrows did not diminish at all.

Today, the emperor got married, Princess Yongfu also changed into a colorful embroidered palace dress, the large-sleeved red robe embroidered with gorgeous peony flowers, the skirt fluttering with a bit of grace and luxury, and the whole person is also like a peony in the flower. Yang Ling hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Weichen has seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, but the harem and harem?" ”

Princess Yongfu waved her hand and said to the two maids who came with her: "Walk in front of the head, General Yang, let's talk as we go."

One and the two palace maids distanced themselves, and Princess Yongfu immediately said with a worried face: "General Yang, this princess has no one to discuss, so I have to call you here for some reason, and now this ugly matter has been known to the royal family of the palace, what do you say?" ”

Yang Ling was stunned and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Yang Ling said in his heart: "Could it be that all the harem thefts are the emperor's?" What's wrong with her? Such a dignified and beautiful little girl will never steal people, right? Yang Ling glanced at Princess Yongfu's innocent face, and immediately dispelled this dirty thought.

Princess Yongfu paused and said: "The imperial sister-in-law brought two imperial concubines to visit the harem, and the married princesses also went to Cining Palace to congratulate, and the Ningqing Imperial Aunt transferred a pair of "Panlong Jade" bracelets that the emperor gave her to the queen mother."

Yang Ling interjected dumbly: "What? Is it not possible to give away things given by the emperor? ”

Princess Yongfu rolled her eyes and said angrily: "If you can't transfer it, how dare the imperial aunt exceed it?" It's that the pair of dragon bracelets are fake, Princess Feng'an knows a lot about jewelry, and she actually recognized the real and fake, she and Aunt Ning Qing have always been at odds, so she said it in public, causing Aunt Ning Qing to look for death and life, what do you say about this? ”

Yang Ling said curtly: "Princess Ningqing is not willing to give it away, so she shouldn't use fakes to deceive people, now that she has been recognized, she has lost face, what's the big deal?" ”

Princess Yongfu paused and said, "My aunt has lost face, how can she still have the face to live?" The Empress Dowager will not spare her, the jade bracelet is not her intention to deceive the queen, it is really because the real thing was given by the imperial sister Xiuting."

If it weren't for Yongfu's anxious words, Yang Ling would probably not know the name of Princess Yongchun for the rest of his life, and when he heard that the little girl actually secretly exchanged Princess Ningqing's jewelry, he couldn't help but say in surprise: "Drop the bag?" Yes! But because I said at the beginning."

Princess Yongfu glanced at him and said, "Yes, the female officials in my aunt's mansion are too unscrupulous, but the whole mansion was bribed by her, and they all helped her deceive the empress dowager." The royal sister thought that since she wanted to plant dirt for her and find a reason to drive her away, she secretly changed her bracelet, who would have thought that the imperial aunt would give the bracelet to the queen."

Yang Ling was also angry and anxious when he heard this, and said, "Why is Princess Yongchun so nonsense? Just stuff some valuable objects at will, and how can the priceless treasures be stolen and dirty as thieves."

Princess Yongfu said resentfully: "How can it be so easy, we women say that they are nobles of the emperor, and sometimes they are not as good as a house slave, that female official has served the empress dowager for nearly thirty years, and she is even more favored than Aunt Ning Qing."

It's the treasure given by the emperor that she stole it, and it was just a whip and relegated to the Silk Bureau, do you say that ordinary things can be rectified by her? My aunt didn't know the truth, she cried to death, and thought that someone in the house had stolen her treasures, and asked the Queen Mother to thoroughly investigate the princess's mansion and return her innocence. ”

Yang Ling thought for a while and said: "In this case, instead of waiting for the Empress Dowager to attack, it is better to strike first, isn't it just to rectify that Diao slave, although the plan is a little different, so I have to push the boat down the river today."

Princess Yongfu said curtly: "But we haven't had a chance to put the bracelet in the housekeeper's room, even if we check it, we can't find anything."

Yang Ling asked anxiously, "Where is the bracelet?" Leave it to me".

Princess Yongfu blushed and said wryly, "On me." She was embarrassed to reach into her arms in front of the man to take things, and when she saw a rockery pavilion appearing in front of her, Princess Yongfu hurriedly took a few steps forward, hid behind the rockery vine and hurriedly took out the pair of jade bracelets.

This pair of jade bracelets is a priceless treasure, Princess Yongfu was afraid of breaking it, so she hid it in her arms with a brocade bag, she took out a small package and ran out and handed it to Yang Ling, Yang Ling didn't look at it and put it in her arms.

Princess Yongfu opened her mouth and bit her lip again to stop squeaking. The brocade was her belongings, and her name was embroidered on it, how could it be taken away, she hesitated and didn't know how to come back, when Ma Yongcheng's voice shouted in the distance: "Lord Yang? Lord Yang waits for our family."

When Princess Yongfu heard this, she didn't care about asking for any more things, and hurriedly said: "General Yang, be careful of that Ma Yongcheng, he is in charge of the Internal Affairs Mansion, and he has a lot to do with that female official, I will go first."

Yang Ling stopped, and saw Ma Yongcheng chasing after him angrily with his robe. Seeing Yang Ling from afar, Ma Yongcheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly caught up and said with a smile: "Lord Yang, the emperor asked our family to accompany the adults to find out."

Yang Ling just heard Princess Yongfu mention it, he smiled quietly: "Very good, it is justified to have you come forward, otherwise this official always asks about the affairs of the harem, and it is really not appropriate."

Ma Yongcheng squeezed out a smile with a long face and said: "In the past, in this harem, if there is any case that is inconvenient for the ladies to come forward, it is the internal affairs office and the emperor's relatives who come forward to inquire, Lord Yang responded to this mission, which is the emperor's incomparable favor."

He rolled his eyelids and glanced at Yang Ling, seeing that he didn't look flattered, he couldn't guess his thoughts for a while, so he had to knock on the side and say, "Lord Yang may not know yet, hey!" In fact, in this palace, the family has a big business, and sometimes it is very common to lose something, and everyone just turns a blind eye.

If you want to say that the housekeeper in Princess Ningjing's mansion, our family is quite familiar, she is very careful in disciplining the slaves and maids in the mansion, it is said that no one should dare to break the rules, alas! It's not easy to be a slave, sometimes, you have to carry a black pot for people, Lord Yang, let's be more sympathetic to them."

The female official is kind on the outside, but bitter on the inside, Yang Ling is extremely disgusted with her, listening to Ma Yongcheng's words, his heart is more calm, look at this appearance, the female official is afraid that she really stole something, but she doesn't dare to touch these registered national treasures, if she can find the princess's objects from her room this time, and put this thing in the chaos, there are real and fake, who will suspect that someone planted it?

Yang Ling was relieved in his heart, and said with a smile: "This official is ordered to do an errand, how dare you casually wronged a good person, let's go and check casually, as long as we can cope with the errand, don't let the emperor ask it, father-in-law can rest assured."

Ma Yongcheng was relieved when he heard this, in his mind, no matter what, he, the head of procurement of the Internal Affairs Office and the emperor's close attendant, was more important than a married prince who lived in the inner palace and was of no help to Yang Ling's career, and it was impossible for Yang Ling not to sell his face.

In Cining Palace, Princess Ningqing knelt on the ground and burst into tears, but she refused to get up. She wanted to give her beloved treasure to the new queen, but she was so ugly, how could she pull off her face. She was usually troubled by the female official, and at this time, the things were dropped, and she immediately thought that it might have been stolen by the female official, so she insisted that the Empress Dowager should thoroughly investigate the princess's mansion and return her innocence.

The thing that Jin presented to the queen was actually Xibei goods, in front of so many royal relatives were exposed, the empress dowager was also so angry that her face turned pale, and when she heard the report from the close servants, saying that the emperor had sent the chief of procurement of the internal affairs office and the commander of the pro-army guards to investigate the case, the empress dowager couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

There are really a lot of valuable objects in the princess's mansion in the female official's room, but she really didn't dare to touch the bracelets, she thought it was the maids under her command who were bold, and dared to steal the bracelets behind her back, and she was desperately trying to go back and torture them, and tortured the girls in the upper room.

The Empress Dowager originally didn't believe that the intimate maid who had been waiting for her for many years would be an evil slave who deceived the master and stole the treasures in the house, but looking at her weak heart, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but be suspicious.

The new queen just entered the palace and received a fake gift, and she was very embarrassed in her heart, hoping that the person sent by the emperor would find out that someone had indeed stolen the treasure. The Cining Palace was quiet for a while, and everyone had their own thoughts, waiting for news from the Ten Kings' Mansion.

Yang Ling and Ma Yongcheng arrived at Princess Ningqing's mansion, drove all the eunuchs and maids in the mansion to the courtyard, and searched house by house.

Ma Yongcheng watched him find out some valuable bracelets and household belongings hidden in secret places, and his face couldn't help but get longer and longer, and finally he couldn't help but be angry, and said gloomily: "Lord Yang, there is no jade bracelet in this female official's room, what are you doing to find these miscellaneous items?" The emperor asked us to check the bracelet, or don't make any troubles, right? ”

Yang Ling glanced at him and said with a smile: "Since you feel suspicious, you should always ask, otherwise we should be in vain, if the emperor asks, how to answer?" Oh yes, I found such a thing in the female official's room, and the official didn't recognize it, you see if you called those palace maids and eunuchs in to recognize them, and see if these things are from the princess's mansion. ”

Ma Yongcheng was secretly happy when he heard this, just now he was worried that Yang Ling would not follow his own path, and he was too careful about his feelings. He wants to sell my face, but he is afraid of taking responsibility, and now if the people in the princess's mansion confess that these things are the personal belongings of the female official, and he doesn't recognize them, then even if there is any delay in the future, it will have nothing to do with him.

Ma Yongcheng couldn't help but smile when he thought of this: "Yes, yes, yes, it's time to call someone to recognize it, Lord Yang can rest assured", he walked out of the door excitedly, called the steward and eunuch to give a low instruct first.

Since he became the head of the harem procurement department, these little managers and little eunuchs of the six palaces and twenty-four bureaus all looked up to him, and naturally obeyed him. After Ma Yongcheng finished instructing, he led the group of eunuchs and palace maids into the room, and the eunuch in charge casually glanced at the things on the table, then nodded and preemptively said: "Hui Yu, father-in-law, these things are not recorded in the princess's mansion book, not the things in the palace."

When he opened his mouth, who dared to say yes, all the palace maids and eunuchs shook their heads again and again, saying that they didn't recognize it. Ma Yongcheng glanced at Yang Ling proudly, Yang Ling smiled and said: "Well, it's not good, this official and Ma Gonggong are also acting on orders, and if you don't do it carefully, you will inevitably be scolded by the emperor!" ”。

He said casually holding up a blue and white porcelain urn and playing: "This is from the Chenghua period, right?" But what about good porcelain, well, I'll see if it's true."

He turned over the blue and white porcelain urn to see the bottom mark, but the mouth of the urn went down, and two emerald bracelets fell from the urn, and the table was full of things that were found, and there were four Nanjing silk jacquard brocades placed in the place, and the two bracelets fell on the silk and bounced a few times, and they were not broken.

Yang Ling put down the blue and white porcelain urn, picked up the bracelet and looked at it twice, glanced at the people in the room who were stunned, and smiled: "These two bracelets, the official doesn't recognize them, you are, are you the princess?" ”
