Chapter 379: Walking on the Ice
On the sixteenth day of the first month, Lan Sheng arrived at the door of the Fifth Princess's Mansion.
Today, the princess, please eat.
When Lan Sheng received the post, although he had a good relationship with the fifth princess, he still hesitated to go. Although the private relationship is good, she is no longer the princess, and it is easy to get into trouble when she interacts with the royal family, and without the protection of the princess's identity, the disaster may become a punishment, and there will be another life and death disaster. She was a little scared when she thought about it, so she politely refused. But the second post came again, saying that it was for her alone, and she changed her mind.
However, looking out from the crack in the curtain, there is an endless stream of cars and horses in front of the door, and the scene of guests is clearly distinguished, what is going on?
"Miss." There is no result to catch the car, but you know the cause and effect.
Although Lan Sheng is a confused character, he can see the value of the carriage at a glance. Today, if you are not rich, you are expensive, where is to invite her alone, the dignitaries and nobles of the entire imperial capital have arrived.
"Can Lord Lan be in the car?" At this moment, a man's voice was heard.
Lan Sheng saw that the man was thirty or forty years old, dressed in the princess's mansion steward's clothes, embroidered with brocades, blue birds flapping their wings, not ordinary stewards, and handsome, with jade face and starry eyes, standing there with respectful eyes, but like a bright light. It is worthy of the princess's mansion, and even the servants are brilliant.
"I'm here." Calling herself the Creator of Lan and respecting her, she appreciated it and dismissed the idea of going home.
"Little Mo Yi, Her Royal Highness the princess asked the little one to apologize to the Lan Maker, originally on the fifteenth day of the first month of each quarter, the horses would hold a poetry and painting appreciation party, but I didn't know that the first month of this year was postponed by one day, so the day of inviting you was heavy. Her Royal Highness the princess knows that you don't like people to socialize, but fortunately, the princess's mansion is very big. She invited her guests, and the horses treated the guests, so that they could not disturb each other. The small one came to show the way for the Lan Maker, and the Lan Maker did not have to get off the car, and the carriage could enter from the north gate and go directly to the Guanyun Pavilion where the princess entertained you. ”
Lan Sheng was tired, so Mo Yi sat down beside Wuguo, took the reins, and skillfully drove the car to detour.
Sure enough, the princess's mansion is very big, after entering through the north gate. The surroundings are tranquil. There is no noise of people, only the occasional chirping of birds, falling between the silent remnants of snow and green tiles. It wasn't the first time she had come back to the Princess's Mansion, but it was the first time she had entered from the north. A few glimpses from behind the curtain. I feel that the style of the palace here is more ancient than the main house. Daei's overly cumbersome carved grass bucket pattern rarely disappears in such a level of mansion, with large stones paved with large wooden pillars. The large room goes to the wall, with the inconspicuous Uwa ink paint, the straight edge of the window, the mullioned railing, rare twists and turns, even the mercy of the garden is simple to the end, a qiē serves the whole, and the calm aroma of the soul permeates this space.
"This Beifu wasn't built by the same master, right?" Lan Sheng asked curiously.
There was silence outside the car for a moment, and Mo Yi replied, "Lord Lan has good eyesight, this piece was added after the birth of the little county king, and at that time, the master who originally built the princess's mansion had already returned to his hometown. ”
"Which master craftsman is in charge of this engineering department?" Lan Sheng originally thought that the Industrial Construction Division did not have a craftsman with such an atmospheric style, and he wanted to know who it was.
"Little ones don't know."
For Mo Yi's answer, although he was slightly disappointed, he was also expected by Lan Business. The bureaucrats of the Ministry of Industry and Construction are smelly, forming gangs, excluding dissidents, flattering the horse-patters, and those who are really talented in studying their skills, most of them are disheartened and leave the field.
When Mo Yi spoke again, the carriage stopped, and the Tibetan Guanyun Pavilion was located on the gray stone platform, six rooms long, the top of the Jianxi Mountain, and the eaves of the simple logs.
The fifth princess's laughter fell to the ground before Lan Sheng's shoes, "It's really glorious, look at this face, it's more watery than when she was the princess, is this to anger us who don't dare to bask in the sun and wait for Yangbai?" ”
"The women have seen Her Royal Highness." When the common people see the royal family, they are not the younger generations who see the elders, and Lan Sheng has to kneel.
The fifth princess immediately held it up and said with a smile, "You are the prince of King Jin in your womb, if you kneel out of a bad situation, I can't afford it." ”
“…… It's not necessarily a male doll, I like female dolls more. "Lan Sheng is actually thinking, the more this lie is told, the more true it becomes, I don't know if it's good to drop the pillow." And Her Royal Highness the princess laughed, I am no longer Princess Jin, even if I have a child, I can't be a son. ”
The fifth princess blinked, "That's not easy to say, when you were pregnant with this child, you were still the princess of King Jin...... probably realized that this topic was a bit far away, and said back with a smile, "I wanted to invite you earlier, to have a good year, but who knew that things suddenly became more and more, and even a hill caught fire and asked me to ask." Moreover, there is also the matter of Yao Xuan. In a hurry, I can't spare time. ”
The fifth princess said, opened the table to Mo Yidao, took Lan Sheng's hand and walked up the steps.
Lan Sheng was willing to come today, also for the two things that the fifth princess ordered, "How is Yao Xuan's body recovering?" Because I have been affected, I am not very happy in my heart, can I see her? ”
"It's much better, the imperial doctor told her to recuperate for a while, but she can't be quiet as long as she is in this mansion, and she can't wait to follow me back to me immediately. I thought she was too nagging about this, so I just sent her to another hospital. She asked me to thank you for the medicines you sent, and said TOEFL, I have never taken such expensive tonic in my life. When I go back, I will tell you where the other courtyard is, you can take care of it and see her, and by the way, help me persuade me, take this opportunity not to be lazy, you are a fool. ”
"Yao Xuan is a good fortune to meet a good master who loves and cares for her like the princess." Lan Sheng likes to make friends with the fifth princess, and because of a master who treats servants well, he probably won't be a person who is too bad in nature.
"No, it's me who has selfishness, such a capable person, of course I want her to stay by my side all the time. In fact, with her age, she should have allowed someone a long time ago, but I hesitated. If she is not as good as her, I am afraid that she will be wronged, and if she is better than her, I will not be able to keep her. However, if you have a particularly suitable candidate for her, you must sue me. "The straightforward personality of the fifth princess also makes people willing to get close.
Lan Sheng's mind suddenly appeared in the little overlord's son-in-law brother-in-law, and at the same time secretly damaged his whimsy, in the early years, in the overlord robbed the people's daughter, the hero and heroine shared the heroine and heroine, and the meeting was not only too early, it simply cut off any possibility of development, and it was impossible for the two to be killed to become a couple, and it was a miracle that they could restore the diplomatic relations between the townspeople. She smiled silently, showing her understanding.
"The princess just mentioned that a hill is on fire......," she was about to ask, "is it the Nine Star Mountain?" I heard that the fire was very large, and if it hadn't snowed heavily for several days, I am afraid that it would have spread to the mountains. ”
"Exactly." The fifth princess said indifferently, "My father gave me a piece of mountainous land including Jiuxing Mountain, I was still young at that time, and later I got married, so I thought about building a Taoist temple, a academy or a summer villa, and sent someone to find out that the mountains are deep, many towering ancient forests, strange shapes of mountains and rocks, and poisonous snakes and beasts." If you want to build a dwelling, it will take time and effort, so I will just do it. ”
Lan Sheng heard the words poisonous snake and beast, and his heart moved, "The princess sent someone to investigate?" ”
"Yes, I liked archery when I was a child, and my father may want to give me a hunting ground, but the older I get, the more good I become." The fifth princess smiled narrowly, "Not to mention hunting, one year the lotus pond in the house dried up, and a lot of fish died, which made me uncomfortable for several days." ”
Although Lan Sheng made the fifth princess laugh, he didn't forget to knock on the side, "The errand sent by the princess, I don't dare to be sloppy if I want to come to the engineering department." ”
"How can such a trivial matter send an officer?" The fifth princess shook her head, "I'll leave it to the chief steward of the mansion." ”
"Could it be that the chief steward of Mo Yimo who led me into the mansion just now?" It seems to be a little too young in terms of age.
"It's Mo Yi's uncle. You asked so carefully, do you want to find any trouble with the Ministry of Engineering? The fifth princess finally felt that Lan Sheng's curiosity was too high, but the direction of understanding was very different from Lan Sheng's thoughts.
Lan Sheng naturally followed the princess's wishes, "I really want to catch the mistakes and omissions of the Ministry of Manufacturing, lest they oppress me, the former princess, and bring down my only livelihood, but the whole family can only point at me." I heard that the emperor mentioned the construction of a new capital again? ”
The fifth princess was still smiling at first, but when she heard the last sentence, her face sank, "What was supposed to stop has somehow been turned over again." It is to please the emperor, but it has to work hard and lose money, and now it is in a disaster year, and the people in the severely affected places have been miserable. So I am unanimously opposed to the colt, and the colt will most likely discuss this matter with the visitors today, and wait for the cabinet to start collecting the fold after the Chinese New Year. Don't talk about this, the New Year's Day will be unhappy. As for the Ministry of Manufacturing, if you really dare to oppress you, look for me, or your Uncle Bai, and now you are no longer the girl who just entered the capital back then, there are more than one or two people who can help you. So he stopped talking about politics, gave Lan some things about giving birth to a safe child, and said some gossip.
After the meal, the princess of the county, that is, the daughter-in-law of the fifth princess, suddenly came to say goodbye. The fifth princess knew that Lan Sheng didn't like to socialize, and she had just cut the concubine's position, so she was even more unintentional, so she pointed out a few scenes in the North Mansion, asked the four palace maids to open the way, and led her to take a walk to eat.
Lan Sheng said no.
The fifth princess said, "Xuanqingguan is so tightly guarded, you have been wronged, I don't have anyone from the Zuolong camp here, of course you have to be extra careful." If you want me to say, you don't need to pursue others, only one of them. Let him send out all the adult Taoist priests, how can he miss one for no reason? He is either overlooked or suspicious, one of the two. You can rest assured, sooner or later the truth will be revealed, and help you and Yao Xuan get justice. ”
Lan Sheng knew the truth about the part of the Shadow Gate, but she was removed from the court and taken by the common people, but it was the result of Hyun Jindi's compromise with the forces of the Shadow Gate and the Emperor. Sacrificing one of her can satisfy everyone for the time being, she understands, and she doesn't care about the concubine position. However, after she was released from prison, not only could she not even go back to the palace, but Hyun Jindi did not show up at all.
She has a lot of gas in her bones!
If he doesn't come, she won't either, for more than half a month, I feel that I have become accustomed to the identity of "lower cousin", when others mention King Jin, she can return with an elegant smile, even if the hottest news in the market is that King Jin marries a new concubine.
On the eighteenth day of the first month, there are two days left. (To be continued......)
