Yang Ling looked at the letter and listened to the sound of singing on the stage, and his heart was chaotic, happy for a while, worried for a while. Ma Li'er has been in the system for less than three years, and if she marries at this time, she will inevitably be attacked.

Disobedience to etiquette is not a trivial matter, it is enough to become a powerful tool in the hands of people with intentions, even if there is the protection of the emperor, he will not be dismissed from office, and he will be attacked from time to time, as a shortcoming, no matter what he does, he will inevitably be constrained.

It is not difficult to let Li'er be alone in Jiangnan, and find an excuse to hide her and give birth to a child secretly, but it is too bad to treat her, and the two years of sneaking and hiding her name will definitely cause a lot of harm to Li'er.

Yang Ling knew that he wanted to send someone to Jiangnan to take Li'er back to the house immediately, and then he remembered that he wanted to use his power and status to do something for the Ming Dynasty and the people.

After pondering for a long time, he remembered that Li'er was less than three months pregnant, and there were at least two months left before her waist became thicker and could not be concealed, and he had already returned to the capital at that time.

He summoned the young lady into the study, and hurriedly wrote three letters, one to the young lady, which did not shy away from talking about the matter of the young lady, and asked the young lady to send a sum of silver taels and tonic items through the inner factory, and the other letter was written to Ma Li'er, telling her that she was currently patrolling the border, and that she would be properly resolved as soon as possible after returning to Beijing, so that she could wait in Jiangnan with peace of mind and take care of herself.

The third letter was written with Cheng Qiyun, she is now the supreme head of the inner factory in Jinling, and a woman lives alone in her uncle's house, and he is really relieved if she does not arrange competent people to take care of it.

Yang Ling sealed the three letters with fire paint, instructed Nafanzi to be sent back to the capital with the military post quickly, and looked at him hurriedly walking out of the door, he stood there thinking about it, and suddenly laughed:

It turned out that I was only worried about not having a son, which is good, the young lady and the young lady are more than a race, the young lady is okay, and the hard work is more than a month, there is always a hit, but the pity is too lucky, right? Could it be that he really has the excellent genes of the Yang family?

Costumes, gongs and drums were packed with several large boxes, and Zhengde was rewarded richly, and those plays were only rewarded by Lord Qinchayang. These two said that singing in the post house, the income is more than twice as high as that of performing on the street, and everyone can get a few more cents of silver after going back, so they are all happy.

The troupe hired a big car and pulled the head back to a rented bungalow at the entrance of Pudu Temple, and the head of the troupe squatted on a stone mill, and said to the big guy with a smile: "Everyone has worked hard for the past two days, and tomorrow will be closed for a day, everyone will have a good rest, but don't forget to practice, the day after tomorrow will be the king's mansion to sing in the hall, but one song will be five days."

He said with a smile: "They all say that we are a grass team, yes, if it weren't for the war in Datong, it would not be easy to invite some famous characters, how could there be a place for our team to stand in the prince's mansion?" In this art industry, we are worse than the famous actors, right? There is no chance. This time, we sang for three days in the mansion of Lord Qinchayang, and when we came back from the mansion of the acting prince, the reputation of our team will rise.

The biggest scene we have seen before is the back garden of the county lord, and now we have seen the Qincha who is like the Son of Heaven in person, and we will also see the pomp of the phoenix and dragon grandson in two days.

A woman in the crowd listened to her gaze for a moment, and her flexible eyes stared at him deeply, then squeezed over, hugged her fists at him and said, "This master is the class master?" ”

Ping Datou was slightly stunned, looked her up and down, the woman in front of her was dressed in shabby homespun clothes, but with Ping Datou's eyesight, she could see that this young woman's bloated and ordinary clothes and pants were extremely slim, and her eyebrows, eyes and facial features were also extremely charming and moving, but it was a pity that the small pockmarks on the white and tender skin destroyed her beauty.

Ping Datou jumped down, the short body was not as high as the young woman's shoulders, and he also arched his hand according to the etiquette of the rivers and lakes: "Don't dare to be, the little old man is just leading a group of bitter haha to eat, the girl is?" ”

The young woman smiled slightly, and said generously: "The little woman is a single gang to go through the rivers and lakes to perform arts, and now it is not easy to eat with a mouthful, I see that the uncle has a blessed face, and he can support such a big façade, and he must be a responsible and righteous man, so I want to join your troupe, I don't know what the uncle wants?" ”

Ping Datou smiled and said: "Where is it, but my team is mainly singing, women can't go on stage, although there are some jugglers, but they are just to relieve the boredom of the gentlemen in the gap between the doors, what will you do?" ”

The young woman smiled and said, "Equestrianism, archery, and sparring performances, the little woman is doing everything."

Ping Datou shook his head and said: "No, no, no, our team can't afford to raise horses, and now that we have the business of the Qincha Mansion and the Wangye's Mansion, we will have a big reputation in the future, and we must be big people who go, and the toys of horse archery, dancing knives and guns can not be entered."

The young woman rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Walking ropes and high poles and turning somersaults, these coaxing tricks are also known to the little women."

Ping Datou shook his head again, and a delicate voice interjected: "Which of these things doesn't understand the rivers and lakes?" It's not easy for you to be alone in a woman's house, so you can perform somersaults, and if you turn well, I will be the master to accept you."

This person is also wearing complicated costumes, water sleeves like clouds, moth eyebrows and pink cheeks, and a pair of watery almond eyes, it is Cheng Xiaoyun, the pillar of the Ping family class, although he is a man, he is used to pretending to be a woman, not only speaking softly and softly, but also behaving with some beauty.

In front of him, although Ping Datou was the class leader, he had to sell some face, and he was busy and smiled: "Yes, then you can try your skills."

The musicians who beat the gongs, drums, pianos and flutes all came over and formed a circle, and the young woman nodded with a smile and said, "Then thank the head of the class and the boss, the little woman is ugly."

I saw her walk generously to the center of the field, hugged her fists and walked a step, suddenly stood on the ground and took a long breath, and then turned up her tendons steeply, her somersault turned over without any fancy, with her hands on the ground, and her feet kicked back, although her skills were extremely neat, but there was nothing surprising, Ping Datou and Boss Cheng couldn't help but show a slight disappointment.

Unexpectedly, after the woman turned over a few somersaults, her body suddenly accelerated, and the somersault turned over quickly and urgently, almost becoming a windmill-like round wheel, moving continuously and beautifully, the slender waist was flexible and powerful, and the eyes of the flat head couldn't help but light up, and someone next to him was already cheering loudly.

Volleys, flips in the clouds, golden carp inverted through the waves, thin waist skillfully turns over the clouds, all kinds of difficult actions continue to be made, always endless, without the slightest pause, Ping Datou in a series of applause from others he said loudly: "Enough is enough, no need to turn it over, pack up and go to dinner with the big guys, from now on, you are a member of the Ping family class."

The woman volleyed two somersaults in a row, and fell to the ground with a smile, her face was not red or panting, she patted the dust on her hands, and arched her hand: "Thank you, class master."

Cheng Xiaoyun smiled slightly and said, "My name is Cheng Xiaoyun, what's my sister's name?" ”

The woman's eyes flashed, and she replied with a smile: "My name is Liu Ying'er, and I will ask Boss Cheng to take care of me in the future."

Cheng Xiaoyun pursed her lips and smiled: "Well, Liu Ying'er, a good name, Yingying Yan Yan Chunchun, Huahua Liuliu is true, everything is charming." Delicate and delicate, stop and be everyone. My sister's figure looks like this, if she wears a robe and hooks her face, it will look good."

The red lady who incarnated as Liu Ying'er heard that he was praising his name, but she didn't know what she meant, so she just smiled dryly and didn't dare to take his words.

Yang Hu and his gang were originally thieves in the green forest, and if they wanted to kidnap big households, they just sent two people to step on the plate in advance, and understood the family background, power, and layout of the family, so they took advantage of the night to kidnap people, and arranged eyeliner spies in one place for a long time, and now they want to deal with the Ming Emperor, but their eyes are black, and there is no way to talk about where he is.

The red lady saw that her husband was lustful for profit, knowing that she was being used by Maitreya, but she was still obsessed with the dream of the emperor, and she was indignant in her heart, and repeated admonishments were unsuccessful, she talked to the fifth uncle about the bitterness in her heart, but the fifth uncle's words made her heart completely cool.

Anyway, she is a woman after all, in the eyes of an extremely patriarchal bandit leader like Boss Cui, Yang Hu's son-in-law is much more important than his daughter.

So this time more than a dozen cottages were suppressed, Yang Hu's power was greatly damaged, the brothers of Lao Zhai have been suspicious of the rumors that he is the true son of heaven, the fifth uncle and several other confidants of Cui Boss have also discussed this matter with him in private, Cui Boss has hinted that no matter whether this rumor is true or not, he must also try his best to help his son-in-law.

This time, Boss Cui took the initiative to ask his own people to help Yang Hu, on the one hand, he showed his attitude to the cottages, and on the other hand, he also listened to Yang Hu's narration, knowing that because of the attack on the Weiwu Uncle's Mansion, his daughter and son-in-law had an awkward quarrel, and he was worried that his daughter's eldest lady would have a temper attack and criticize Yang Hu, so he sent her fifth uncle to suppress her.

When the red lady heard that her father had such an attitude, she couldn't help but be disappointed, but although she was suppressed by the fifth uncle, she couldn't make a big fuss with Yang Hu, but the red lady's surname was Lie Rugang, and when she had an idea in her heart, Boss Cui didn't want to change, she listened to the fifth uncle's explanation and didn't break out on the spot, but turned around and packed up and quietly left.

She knew that Yang Hu and others had no other way, and the only way to find out Zhengde was to monitor Yang Ling, so she also disguised herself and paid attention to all the movements in the post house.

Then the Maitreya Sect and Yang Hu and others are very likely to start at that time, she wants to prevent Yang Hu from being used by others and sabotage the plan of the Maitreya Sect, so she will also find a way to blend in.

On the twenty-second day of the first month, the acting king accepted the side concubine.

Boyan's army has moved to the area of Pingshun and Huguan, and the people of Datong breathe a sigh of relief, and they no longer need to dress neatly when they sleep at night, and put their bags on their pillows and are ready to flee for their lives at any time. The palace of the king is even more colorful, and the people are welcome.

A sedan chair and a handsome horse carried the ministers and generals of Xuanfu and Datong to congratulate the acting prince. Yang Yiqing, the general system of the trilateral system, because the emperor was in Datong, attached great importance to the defense of the border passes, and originally sent a congratulatory letter to the palace in advance, indicating that he could not come to congratulate in person because of military affairs, which made the boss of the king unhappy, but now he suddenly changed his mind, and hurriedly brought 300 pro-troops to the palace to congratulate him.

On the periphery of the palace of the king, there are still many soldiers, but the palace is full of sheng songs. The red lady also entered the palace in the troupe, to her surprise, the palace was far bigger than she imagined, and the palace had its own troupe to perform in the apse, and the big troupe was sent to perform in the middle hall.

The entire palace of the king is in a burst of laughter, and the only places that are more quiet are Yin'an Palace, Sheji Altar, Fengyun Thunderstorm Mountain and River Altar, Imperial Temple, and Family Temple Jishan Temple. Wine and meals are served at the Dianshan Restaurant, guests are received at the Daifu store, gifts are registered, and important guests are personally accessed by the palace manager.

The troupe where the red lady is located is inside the Duanli Gate and outside the carrier gate, and the ministers of various ministries can't escape her eyes when they enter and exit. The stage in the courtyard has already been set up, and the embroidered door curtains, tents, hanging lamps, etc. on the stage are complete. According to the rules, the first play of the singing hall will be "The Blessing of Heavenly Officials".

Single-mindedly want to build the Pingjia class into the most popular opera troupe in Datong, when the border is calmed down, he will also take advantage of the gimmick of being invited to go to the Qincha Xingyuan and the palace to perform on behalf of the king, and the Pingdatou who is on tour of the nine sides will naturally follow this rule, although his theater troupe is not very formal, and this play is not fully learned, but fortunately, the people who watch the play in the courtyard here are some guards and scholars and domestic servants who came to congratulate the marriage of the civil and military generals, and they are not picky about it.

Especially after the blessing of the heavenly officials, as soon as the performances were completed, the slightly meaty plays such as "Lu Dongbin's Three Plays of White Peony" and "Zhang Tianshi's Great Painting" came up, and they were even more liked by those attendants.

"Ordered to patrol the border Qincha, the emperor's personal army guard commander, the governor of the inner factory Yang Ling, and the Beijing camp overseer Zhang Gonggong has arrived!" , As the singer sang loudly, the red lady who had just performed in the middle of the play was listening to it, Huo Di looked up, and saw a scholar with a face like a crown of jade walking in with a smile, he was wearing an expensive mink robe, covered with a large velvet, slender and outstanding.

Twelve young and handsome lieutenants followed closely with their swords, and although the father-in-law Zhang Yong next to him was wearing a blue and gold-embroidered python dragon robe, his shoulders were half-hooked, and his feet fell quickly, as if he was a slave beside a prince and grandson.

The corners of the red lady's lips were crooked, faintly revealing a hint of a smile, the general said that he was not wearing a military uniform today, elegantly dressed with his delicate face, the big one floated open, and a jade jade on the colorful brocade belt around her waist swayed slightly, that style If she came today to tie a fat sheep back, just look at this appearance, it is none other than him.

Accompanied by the head of the palace, Yang Ling and Zhang Yong passed the carrier gate and arrived at the Chongxin Gate, Yang Ling's footsteps paused slightly, turned his head and glanced back, his eyes touched the small colonel standing in the middle of the twelve guards, the little colonel showed a little mischievous smile, Yang Ling nodded to him imperceptibly, and walked in side by side with Zhang Yong.

The guards of the Qincha were also not allowed to enter the inner hall of the palace, and their own palace officials led them to the side hall next to the Chongxin Gate, where the flowing water seats were lined up, and many generals and civil officials' attendants were eating and drinking.

Because Datong is a border military town, even this palace is not only magnificent, but also the buildings and courtyard walls are also strong and tall, and there are fortresses on the high walls at the four corners of the palace, and guards are stationed. However, as soon as I entered the "Swallow House", this northern palace garden is also rockery, curved corridors and cornices, specific and slight.

The "Swallow House" trail twists and turns, and as soon as it enters the Jinde Palace, the head of the palace bows and smiles: "Two adults, the ceremony of the princess and the concubine has not yet been held, please go to the side hall to rest first, as soon as the auspicious time comes, our family will lead the adults to the Yin'an Palace to read the emperor's edict, and respectfully invite the prince and the princess to raise their courtesy."

Yang Ling and Zhang Yong nodded with a smile, turned around and turned to the left side hall, there were two little eunuchs standing at the door of the hall, seeing them walking to the door, they hurriedly lifted the velvet felt carpet, and the two of them were stunned as soon as they walked in.

The light in the hall was relatively dim, and there was a moment of discomfort when they walked in, and the eyesight of the two returned to normal, only to find that there were already several adults standing in the side hall. Hu Zhan, the governor of Datong, Yang Yiqing, the general system of the three sides, and a civil official next to him are the same as Hu Zhan, the governor of Datong, but for a while he can't remember which other civil official in Datong has the same rank as him.

On the left side of the hall is the coffee table official hat chair, on the right is a fire kang, there is a kang table on the kang, a screen in front of it, at this time two people also flashed out behind the screen, a yellow-robed python dragon, obese, it is the groom official of the prince, the fat face is rare with a solemnity.

The adult next to him was about forty years old, with three wisps of slight beard under his chin, his face was clear, his two eyes were like deep stars, and he was dressed in a crane supplement, and he was Yang Tinghe, a scholar of the current dynasty who was crowned with a product.

Yang Ling and Zhang Yong looked at each other, and said in their hearts: "It's bad, today this wedding banquet is going to be changed to a Hongmen banquet, as soon as Yang Tinghe arrives, he will have to cry and advise the emperor to return to the palace."

The two glanced at each other, and the meaning in their eyes was telling each other: "Brother, you go first!" ”

Zhengde sat on the bench, ate something casually, and thought it was interesting to pretend to be a captain, but there were too many rules in this palace, and it was far better to watch a play on the street. Hooked soul, I couldn't help but get up and walk outside.

The eleven guards were all first-class masters of Ouchi, nominally the Qincha guards, but in fact, their duty was to protect the emperor, as soon as they saw him get up, those people immediately stood up without a trace and quietly surrounded him.

A head of the guard whispered: "Your Majesty, where are you going, are you going to pay tribute?" ”

Zhengde glared and said in a low voice: "Out of the palace!" Out of the palace or uncomfortable, you are everywhere you go, this is the palace of the king, can there be thieves? Follow from afar, don't bother, I'll go and see the excitement."

Zhengde snorted after saying it and walked towards the courtyard inside the Duanli Gate.

Cheng Xiaoyun was groaning coquettishly on the stage, dressed in white, with a bright peony flower inserted in her hair like ink, with water sleeves like clouds, dancing, and bringing the beautiful posture of a peony flower demon to life.

Zhengde walked to the stage, the front people were blocked, the two guards had rushed to the front, seeing that there were many people quietly blocking him and not allowing him to pass, Zhengde was helpless, and saw a little lady embroidered in red clothes, short dress, slender waist like wisps, and crisp breasts on the low chair with one leg, and was re-playing the leggings that rolled up a thousand waves, so he walked over with a smile and said: "This sister, but is it performing martial arts?" ”

Cui Ying'er raised her head, Zhengde secretly screamed a pity, such a beautiful and enchanting girl, but unfortunately her face was full of pockmarks, and she put on powder on the stage, her jade face was very delicate and delicate, and she couldn't see anything, and it was very inferior at a glance.

The red lady saw that she was a lieutenant colonel, she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and she still had childish fur on her lips, but her eyebrows and facial features were very handsome, and she spoke politely and kindly, without the slick and bandit spirit of an ordinary soldier, and she also had a good feeling in her heart, she tightened her leggings, stretched out her hand to pull her sideburns, and said with a smile: "In the palace, which one does my sister show martial arts?" It's just a juggling trick of a high-pole rope flip."

Zhengde's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Juggling?" That's better than martial arts, when will my sister perform again, I'll applaud you."

The red lady thought it was funny, and couldn't help but purse her lips and smile: "Little brother, you are interesting, there are regulations for the reward of the palace, and if you shout in your throat, you will not add money."

Zhengde said unconvinced: "Is that so? Then let Yang and my family send Lord Yang to reward you, I am Lord Yang's personal soldier, if you play well, I will tell your lord, he will definitely invite you to come over to perform and reward you heavily. ”

The red lady was amused by his childish words, she couldn't help but smile, and said with a smile: "That little woman has thanked the official first, if she really gets the reward of Lord Yang, the little girl will definitely give half to the official."

Zhengde waved his hand very righteously and said: "You're welcome, you're welcome, I'll follow us adults to eat and drink without worry, and I won't worry about having no money to spend."

When a few gongs sounded on the stage, Cheng Xiaoyun flashed out of the stage like a flowing cloud, Lu Dongbin and the demon Huang Zhenren went on stage in the sound of gongs and drums, Cheng Xiaoyun, who won the applause of the whole house, had red cheeks, obviously a little proud, he got off the stage with his skirt, and set up a tent behind him to change clothes and hook his face, Cheng Xiaoyun shouted to the red lady: "Sister Liu, help me change my robe."

Cui Ying'er agreed, and said with a smile to Zhengde: "Little brother, my sister is going to be busy, and my sister is going to go on stage to do a deep somersault after singing the next play, you remember to come and see it."

Zhengde hurriedly nodded in agreement, and when he saw the woman in scarlet clothes dodge into the tent, he looked around, turned around and walked towards the side hall on the right side of the carrier door, who had served in the palace for many years, and did not dare to disobey the holy decree, the inner guards did not dare to get too close, but followed all around and walked to the right side together.

A tall maid dressed in the palace walked out of the carrier door proudly accompanied by two other maids, but the surname of Zhengde was in a hurry, and there was a constant flow of people on the way, he flashed left and right around the crowd, walked to the center of the door, and stepped on the back hem of the maid's skirt dragged on the ground.

The maid sighed, hurriedly lifted her skirt, turned her head with a blushing face, and saw that it was only a little lieutenant, so she glared at him fiercely, and reprimanded: "Blind your dog's eyes, don't you walk in the palace without eyes?" ”

Zhengde was scolded by people, but he was not angry at all, he only felt that she walked out with her head held high and arrogant, and now she was in a hurry and embarrassed appearance was very interesting, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "The girl forgives her sins, she is reckless, I really can't help it."

The maid shook the hem of her skirt, and when she saw that there was a big footprint on the back, she felt more and more annoyed, she glanced at Zhengde with disgust, and said, "I'm still young, should you be a son or a young master?" A big-headed soldier, still small, the horse doesn't know how long the face is! Are you also a character with status and promising? Hum! ”

When she finished speaking, she raised her head and walked away like a proud peacock.

Emperor Zhengde touched his nose and was speechless when she robbed him, and several guards who snatched it next to him couldn't help but secretly snicker when they saw that the emperor was ridiculed by a palace maid.

The soft voice of a girl next to her said with a smile: "Don't blame her, Sister Yu is a favored maid beside the princess, and even the chief manager gives her three points, you are so young, you can be the general's personal soldier, and you will definitely have a future in the future, heroes are not afraid of low background, when you become the general soldier of Datong, and then come to see the prince, Sister Yu'er will definitely look at you differently."

Don't say that the general soldier of Datong, even if he is the generalissimo of the national soldiers and horses, how can he see in the eyes of Zhengde, but there is a girl who is so understanding, and he doesn't care about his background at all, after hearing these words, his heart is still warm, this is the first girl who doesn't know his identity as an emperor and thinks so highly of him.

Zhengde turned around and was about to say thank you to the girl behind him, but at this glance, suddenly, the seven souls and six spirits flew out, and the whole person stood there like a clay carving and wood sculpture, unable to say a word for a long time.

The woman in front of her is not dressed as a maid of the palace, she is wearing a moon lake-colored shirt, a blue dog fur with a furry edge, and a green Hunan skirt with a skirt on her waist and six pieces of Xiangjiang water. The figure is petite and exquisite, the face is pretty and shining, there is a beauty mole on the corner of the upturned lips of Yingying, and a large parrot with a colorful tail is being held in her arms.

Zhengde's lips were pursed for a long time, and the fourteen or fifteen-year-old petite girl in front of him looked at herself strangely, then grinned, tilted her head and said playfully to him: "What's the matter?" Am I beautiful? ”

(To be continued)
