Chapter 387 Guts
Chapter 387 Guts
I got sick, hung up on the water for a few days, and failed to update it in the last few days, and here the cruiser apologizes to my friends, miss"
A soft drink interrupted Chen Yuanyuan's thoughts.
When she looked back, she saw that the person who came was a maid serving her, named Huan'er.
"Are they all gone?"
Huan'er nodded and said, "I've already helped Miss send them away, but today's sons and brothers are all from the families of dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital, even if Miss doesn't need them, she can't just send them away."
Chen Yuanyuan smiled faintly, and just said, "These guts guys, can't do a single trivial thing?" ”
Huan'er smiled bitterly and said, "Miss, this is a trivial matter?" It's too difficult for them to come up with a question, either let them pick the stars or let them sue the king, how can they do that? ”
"It doesn't matter if you can't pick the stars, but you don't even dare to sue for a royal certificate, how dare Miss Ben entrust her life? You must know that our daughter's family has no second choice, and if you take a wrong step, you will never be able to go back."
Huan'er nodded and said: "Having said that, the dynasty is prosperous and peaceful, and the emperor is admired by all the people." You let them sue the emperor, and if you look at everyone in the world, I'm afraid you won't be able to find a person who dares to do this."
At the mention of the current emperor, Chen Yuanyuan's eyes suddenly turned cold.
"The admiration of all the people does not mean that he has not done bad things"
Huan'er asked suspiciously: "But Miss said that the dog official who harmed Miss's family is Lai Youguang, why don't you sue him instead of suing the emperor?" I heard that the procuratorate and the Independent Commission Against Corruption of the country are iron-faced and selfless, and they are well received by the people, so they should not tolerate adultery."
Chen Yuanyuan replied: "Why haven't I thought about what you said? It's just that I asked someone to inquire that when the emperor was still in prison, in order to win over the civil and military officials of the imperial court, he did not blame the officials who committed adultery before the first year of Tongzhi. Therefore, my father was beheaded on the last day of the eighth year of the Apocalypse by Lai Youguang's secret place."
Huan'er sighed and said, "I see, no wonder Miss has such concerns, but why does Miss want to sue the emperor?" ”
Chen Yuanyuan smiled slightly and said: "Officials protect each other, not to mention the acquiescence of the emperor, so we will definitely be stopped by the officials who go through the above channels normally, or be delayed indefinitely." And that Lai Youguang has a wide range of connections, and there are too many officials in the court, as soon as we show our deeds, it will immediately reach his ears, and then we will have to flee for our lives, so if we don't make a move, we will just do it, once we make a move, we will alarm the emperor, make the city full of storms, and the whole world will know, so that we can be safe."
Huan'er said with a smile: "It turns out that Miss is planning like this, it's really smart, but I've seen dozens of eunuchs so far, but none of them dare to promise to sue the royal court."
Chen Yuanyuan said very confidently: "I don't believe it, with Miss Ben's appearance, I can't find anyone who is not afraid of death."
Huan'er nodded and said, "Miss is naturally as beautiful as a fairy, presumably she will not be inferior to the emperor's concubine, Miss might as well enter the palace, wouldn't it be easier to see the emperor?" If you are deeply favored by the emperor, let alone a Lai Youguang, even the first and auxiliary ministers of the cabinet have to kneel honestly"
Chen Yuanyuan sighed: "Why haven't I thought about it? It's just that there are 3,000 beauties in the emperor's harem, and it is difficult to climb to the sky when you see the emperor. Besides, that bastard emperor hasn't chosen a national color since he ascended the throne, and I don't have a chance at all."
Huan'er gasped, hurriedly looked around, and whispered: "You are quiet, this is not Hangzhou, there are eyeliners everywhere under the feet of the Son of Heaven."
Chen Yuanyuan snorted coldly, although he was disdainful, but finally quieted out.
"By the way, is that Zhu Gongzi here today?"
Huan'er hurriedly said: "I almost forgot to tell Zhu Gongzi that Miss had too many fans downstairs and was afraid of being eaten, so I invited Miss to Zhu Gongzi's teahouse to meet."
Chen Yuanyuan smiled and said, "I've heard about the tea ceremony in the teahouse for a long time, and I thought it was opened by a woman, but I didn't expect it to be opened by Zhu Gongzi."
"I didn't expect it to be opened by a super handsome guy."
Chen Yuanyuan glared at Huan'er and said a denunciation, and then snorted, obviously having a good impression of that Zhu Gongzi.
In the sound of frolicking, the two daughters went downstairs in civilian clothes and went straight to the teahouse.
The teahouse is on the street of Yige, famous for its tea ceremony, and there are countless literati and artists who come to the teahouse every day. If it weren't for the fact that tea is as expensive as gold, I'm afraid this teahouse would have been crowded.
Rao is like this, the teahouse business is still in full swing, and it is not an exaggeration to make money every day, because the location is good, and the capital is either rich or expensive, and it is not bad for money.
Let's say that the streets are bustling with people, red men and green women complement each other, and the market stalls are overwhelming.
A qiē is so prosperous and peaceful.
Deng Haonan, who was dressed in a white Confucian costume, walked among them, and all kinds of tastes made him refreshed and proud.
Around him, the four Ouchi guards, codenamed Qinglong, Suzaku, White Tiger, and Xuanwu, pressed their swords in their hands and guarded them with them. The waiter Xiao Dezi dressed up as a scholar and accompanied Deng Haonan around, explaining the customs and strange anecdotes.
It was hot, and as he walked, Xiao Dezi felt that the emperor was thirsty, so he said: "Childe, why don't you sit down with a cup of tea and thank your feet."
Deng Haonan nodded in agreement, and Xiao Dezi led the group to the most famous teahouse.
Entering the tea house hall, the unique purple wood sandalwood and tea aroma are mixed together to make it extra refreshing.
"Not bad"
Deng Haonan looked around, the teahouse was chic and orderly, and there was guqin music on the north pavilion, which felt very stylish and tasteful.
The shopkeeper was a traitor, and after discovering Deng Haonan and his party, he immediately invited a few of them upstairs.
Deng Haonan and the others were about to go upstairs, when there was a sudden exclamation at the door, and everyone's eyes involuntarily drifted to the two women at the door.
"Isn't this Miss Oiran Wanfen this time?"
Deng Haonan stopped, turned his head to look down, and when he looked at the girl who was called Oiran Wanfen, he was stunned.
The person who came was Chen Yuanyuan and her maid Huan'er, and Huan'er saw that the people in the hall had the urge to come around, so she hurriedly dragged Chen Yuanyuan upstairs.
"What's the matter with you? Get out of the way"
With a coquettish shout, Deng Haonan suddenly sobered up, but he blocked the stairs and didn't move.
The little maid was about to push Deng Haonan away as soon as possible, and Xiao Dezi suddenly shouted "Daring", and the two guards next to Suzaku and Xuanwu immediately blocked them away.
"Get out of the way"
"Presumptuous"
The little maid and Suzaku Xuanwu looked at each other, and no one gave in. At this time, Suzaku's murderous aura suddenly rose, and the second daughter was suddenly frightened and took a few steps back.
At this time, the tea guests in the hall had already flocked over, and the little maid was so frightened by Suzaku and Xuanwu that her legs were weak, and she was about to pull Chen Yuanyuan to turn around, but she saw that the fans downstairs had blocked the way, and she stomped her feet in a hurry.
"This son, can you please give way?"
Deng Haonan came back to his senses, and secretly said in his heart that he was used to seeing stunning beauties, why was he still so out of shape, could it be because he hadn't hunted for beauty all these years?
With a bitter smile in his heart, he nodded at the woman to apologize, and then drank and ordered Suzaku Xuanwu to get out of the way.
"Whoa"
Suzaku Xuanwu withdrew his hand and moved out of the way. Chen Yuanyuan was about to thank them, but unexpectedly, the little maid glared at them fiercely, and without saying anything, she pulled Chen Yuanyuan and ran up.
"Please block the people behind Deng Haonan frowned, and secretly said that this little girl is very powerful.
"Block Them"
Deng Haonan's words suddenly made Suzaku and Xuanwu feel very helpless, and hurriedly blocked the swarming tea guests.
"What did that woman look like?"
Deng Haonan's words suddenly made the other five people sweat on their foreheads.
All right
Deng Haonan seemed to have returned to the teenage days of the hairy boy in an instant, and he seemed to feel the same way when he saw a beautiful woman for the first time when he was in love.
Instantly stunning, the brain crashed, but there was no impression afterwards.
Deng Haonan coughed lightly, stopped asking, and went upstairs by himself.
Below Suzaku and Xuanwu Kong have a skill, but they can't stop the excited fan group, there is no way, Xuanwu finally showed his waist card, and then he drank them back.
"Childe, the slave and maid have seen clearly"
He naturally saw it clearly, so he said it to Deng Haonan word by word.
However, Deng Haonan didn't seem to have the heart to listen to him, so he quickly went upstairs, and then looked around.
The two women just now were sitting by the east window, Deng Haonan was thinking about going over, but saw a young man dressed as a scholar sitting opposite the two women, who was very handsome.
Babble
Seeing them talking and laughing happily, Deng Haonan suddenly felt very unhappy.
"I'm sorry the upstairs was just full"
Xiao'er ran over to inform him, and Deng Haonan was even more upset when he heard it.
Xiao Dezi hurriedly said: "Childe is the queen"
With that, Xiao Dezi came to the south window, took out a check, and then whispered to a few people at the table for a while, and quickly sent them away
Deng Haonan sat down, and he had the best tea from Xiao Er. While drinking tea, he looked out the window, but out of the corner of his eye, he was looking at the beautiful woman in the east.
What a beautiful girl
Deng Haonan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, among his concubines, they were all stunning, especially Concubine Xiang was the most beautiful, and the woman opposite was two points more beautiful than Concubine Xiang.
The woman seemed to feel Deng Haonan's gaze, perhaps embarrassed because the maid didn't understand the etiquette just now, and smiled at Deng Haonan and nodded.
It's just that this smile made Deng Haonan's heart, which had not been excited for more than ten years, surging again.
Here, Chen Yuanyuan's keen intuition sensed that Deng Haonan on the other side was watching her. At first, Chen Yuanyuan didn't pay attention to it, there were too many people watching her, although there were few people on the second floor, there were only four windows and eight tables, in addition to Deng Haonan's direction, there were also tea guests in two other directions who were also secretly watching her. But Deng Haonan was in front of her, and his eyes touched at every turn, Chen Yuanyuan felt a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly moved the chair, so that Zhu Gongzi on the opposite side blocked Deng Haonan's gaze.
"Wanfen, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing?"
Chen Yuanyuan was perfunctory, and the small ring next to him interjected: "That guy in the east window has been staring at the young lady, with bad intentions, and he looks like a disciple."
"Xiaohuan" Chen Yuanyuan said: "If it wasn't for that son's help just now, I'm afraid Miss Ben would be surrounded by the people below now."
"It turns out that they helped you break the siege" Zhu Gongzi smiled, glanced back at Deng Haonan and the others, and then quipped: "Wanfen is captivating the country and the city, this is inevitable"
"Childe has won the prize"
In front of Zhu Gongzi, Chen Yuanyuan always seemed to not know what to say.
"By the way, Zhu Gongzi, when are you going to sue the royal court" Chen Yuanyuan didn't talk much, and Huan'er had to lead the topic for her. Continue to ask: "There are more bold people in the capital, if the son doesn't hurry, be careful that our young lady falls to another family."
Chen Yuanyuan glared at Huan'er with disgust, but he was very nervous about Zhu Gongzi's answer.
Zhu Gongzi coughed lightly and asked in a low voice: "Wanfen, you let me sue the emperor, there must be a reason, if there is no legitimate reason, if I sue the emperor, I will immediately be pressed into the eighteen prisons by the three divisions and nine departments, waiting for the autumn queen to be beheaded."
Chen Yuanyuan smiled and said, "I have no enmity with the emperor, it's just a temptation, and the son doesn't have to take it to heart."
Zhu Gongzi asked, "Could it be that Wanfen has something unspeakable?" It's better to sue sù in the next, so I can help you."
Although Chen Yuanyuan has a very good impression of Zhu Gongzi, in the past five or six years, she has fled everywhere, and people's hearts are unpredictable, and she does not dare to bet lightly.
"Zhu Gongzi said with a smile" Chen Yuanyuan said: "The empire is prosperous now, Wanfen has no worries about food and clothing, and she doesn't have to worry about living on the streets as a beggar, even if she can't find a good husband, it's just a big deal that she will be supported by the imperial government when she is old."
Zhu Gongzi saw that he couldn't get Chen Yuanyuan's words, so it was inconvenient to ask questions.
At this time, a guy came to Zhu Gongzi's side, whispered a few words and left.
Glancing back at Deng Haonan, who was casually drinking tea, Zhu Gongzi frowned, turned to Chen Yuanyuan and asked, "It was the person from the east window who helped you send away the suitors just now?" ”
Chen Yuanyuan nodded, and Huan'er helped: "Look at his four generals, they are fierce and vicious, as if everyone owes them money. It must not be a good type, otherwise it would not have stopped the crowd downstairs."
Chen Yuanyuan didn't blame the placket of Lalahuan'er's clothes, it seemed that she didn't have a good impression of the four generals.
However, in Zhu Gongzi's eyes, the four generals made him a little nervous.
"They are no ordinary generals"
After a long time, Zhu Gongzi said: "The people who drink tea in my teahouse are either rich or expensive, and they call out a master who stomps on the capital and shakes it, and this prince can suppress them, and he is by no means an idle person."
Chen Yuanyuan secretly tilted his head to look at Deng Haonan, but was soon discovered by Deng Haonan and hurriedly shrank back.
She is used to seeing dignitaries and dignitaries, and she can distinguish three, six, nine and so on at a glance, but she can't see through Deng Haonan's identity.
"His face is very raw, and he shouldn't look like a person from the capital"
Saying this, Zhu Gongzi suddenly relaxed. glanced at Deng Haonan and his entourage, and said, "Maybe they are big names in the vassal country."
The sky gradually darkened, and it was not early, Xiao Dezi reminded Deng Haonan to return to the palace.
Deng Haonan always wanted to see Chen Yuanyuan, but Chen Yuanyuan always moved his chair to avoid Deng Haonan. always looked at Zhu Gongzi's back, which made Deng Haonan very unhappy.
However, Deng Haonan stared at Zhu Gongzi for a long time, and always felt that there was something wrong.
With such a thin body, even if there are beautiful women for you, you can't afford it
Deng Haonan cursed Zhu Gongzi in his heart, and got up and left.
However, before leaving, Chen Yuanyuan still nodded and smiled at him, which made Deng Haonan feel better. The smile of the beautiful woman may be out of courtesy, or maybe they want Deng Haonan to leave quickly. The probability of the latter is very high, but Deng Haonan has always liked to pick a good mood to imagine, and automatically filtered other unfavorable factors.
Deng Haonan returned to the palace, and Xiao Dezi took a moment to come to the celebrant to find the chief eunuch Li Gonggong, and told him all the actions of the emperor today.
"Is that true?"
"It's true"
Xiao Dezi's confident appearance made Li Xiaoliu stern.
"Do you want to sue the sù girls to know?"
"Absolutely not" Li Xiaoliu waved his hand and said: "If the ladies know, I am afraid that the harem will definitely make trouble, and when the emperor blames it, you and I will not be able to eat and walk around."
"What then?" Xiao Dezi said: "I have to report to the ladies in a while, you hurry up and get an idea, I think the emperor is true this time, his expression has not appeared in these years"
Li Xiaoliu nodded and said, "Whether it's true or not, you can't report anything about this woman to the mother."
"What about today—"
"We'll take care of it"
Li Xiaoliu spoke, and Xiao Dezi had no choice but to do so, and went to the palace to report to the queen and the imperial concubines about the emperor's micro-clothes after leaving the palace.
Here, Li Xiaoliu immediately called Jinyiwei and ordered them to immediately investigate Xing Yuan's Yiqiē, and together with Zhu Gongzi, the owner of the teahouse, and other related people.
In the office of the commander of the Imperial North Town, Li Jingguo, the director of the Fifth Division of the Imperial Security Bureau, was reporting to Wang Chen.
"What? The emperor went to the teahouse? ”
"Yes, my lord" Li Jingguo nodded and said: "The emperor left the palace today, and he stayed for the longest time, reaching five hours and thirty-three minutes. Among them, shopping for two hours, the rest of the time stayed in the east window on the second floor of the teahouse. ”
Wang Chen asked, "Drinking tea for three and a half hours?" ”
"Yes, my lord, our people have been secretly protecting the emperor" Li Jingguo nodded, and then changed the conversation, and said: "It's just that the emperor doesn't seem to be looking at the scenery outside the window, and seems to be focused."
"The emperor is the emperor's Shengming" Wang Chen sighed: "I just suspect that the teahouse is in the palace, but the emperor is deep in the palace, and he can even sense that there is a problem there Li Jingguo coughed lightly and said: "The emperor seems to be looking at a woman Wang Chen's brain suddenly froze, and after a while, he said: "What woman?" Don't talk nonsense, watch your head."
"Subordinates don't dare"
Li Jingguo replied affirmatively: "The subordinates can only be determined through accurate information."
"There are few women in the world that the emperor can look at, but whose daughter is it?"
"It is Xing Yuan and Xing Wanfen's first of the eight unique Oiran in Beijing this year"
"Is that her?"
"Yes"
Li Jingguo confirmed again.
Wang Chen shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then sighed: "The emperor is really as wise as a torch."
Li Jingguo nodded, noncommittal.
"That's right" Li Jingguo said suddenly: "Just now, Mr. Li sent Jinyiwei to the household department to transfer the relevant files of Xing Yuan and Zhu Ping."
"Was it sent by the emperor?"
"It's not"
Wang Chen thought about it, and suddenly smiled: "I think it is Manager Li who wants to invite merit in front of the emperor."
"But wouldn't that ruin your plans?"
"No" Wang Chen waved his hand and said, "I'm thinking about how to expose a flaw to the enemy, if this Manager Li can come in and stir it up, the water will be mixed up."
Li Jingguo thought for a while, and suddenly said: "My lord, I see it."
