Chapter Forty-Six: The Past
"I didn't expect the ninth brother to know him, it's really surprising."
The fourth prince touched his mouth with the white jade teacup, and his eyes turned around and then rested on the handsome person in front of him.
Who would have thought that he, the ninth brother, rushed back from somewhere yesterday, and before he could find a place to stay, he came to him, and today he caught the person who was going to escape, and every time he met him, he would bring new surprises.
"I didn't expect to meet him myself, it was this person who recognized me by himself, and asked me to help him escape, but he really had an idea, so I just accompanied him to make trouble."
"Haha, thank you. I'm really afraid he'll run away. After you came back, did you hear about the National Teacher and Mu Zichu and they went to the barracks? Well...... "The four princes wanted to speak and stopped.
"Forget it, let's talk about where you and I went to play feng shui after we parted ways in Yancheng? You might as well talk to your fourth brother and me, if I don't know if I go out with your sister-in-law in the future, I will follow your route again! ”
The four princes swept away their gloomy expressions and laughed out loud.
"I learned about those things from that Wei Jing, but then again, that Wei Jing also handed over the letter, you really put people down, it's okay? The medicinal materials should be sent back anyway, this epidemic is not a trivial matter, did you find anything wrong during your time in Yancheng? ”
The Nine Emperor Princes, Su Liu'an, was just talking about the first half of the Fourth Prince's words, and he wanted to find out what it looked like.
When the fourth prince heard him ask, the expression on his face did not have the same radiance as before, but he put his hand on the table, and knocked on the table for a while.
"I don't know how big this epidemic is, it's easy to manipulate the capital at the moment, the sixth brother is still helping him guard the last bit of power except for the Yue family, he is finished, and he can't pose any threat, but the Yue family is a trouble after all, if you ascend the throne, don't get rid of him first, it's a bit difficult to handle those civil officials above the court, most of the military attaches see who can be great, and they will naturally convince whom."
The fourth prince paused, and then said: "If the Long family helps again, it will definitely be a matter of course at that time, and I also want to help Long Baiyu, but I am afraid that we calculated that Miss Ye before we were discovered, and it is not easy to explain it, and I am afraid that there are few people in the capital who do not know about the old past of the national teacher." You don't know, when I took in this Wei Jing before, I saw a letter from him, the kid of the Long family seems to be investigating you, and we have left too many traces in Yancheng again, this time Wei Jing saw Qianqian's illness again, I am really afraid that he will tell the national teacher to them. ”
Su Liu'an snorted coldly: "What are you afraid of, there is nothing to be afraid of, in the final analysis, it is just to make yourself better in the future, the adults of this world are not for themselves, and the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, and it is difficult for others to say it." ”
"That's right, but after all, we contacted the barbarian alien race at that time, so we were able to save your fourth imperial sister-in-law, I wonder if the cause of the epidemic is that we lured the barbarians to Yancheng."
"Lead the tiger into trouble, the mistake has been made, how to remedy it is the biggest problem now, you still have to think about how to transport things to the barracks, so as not to let the national teachers doubt their hearts!"
As soon as Su Liu'an's words fell, they caused ripples in the hearts of the two of them, and the four princes were silent and did not speak.
There was silence in the main hall for a moment.
Su Liuan did not regret what he had done before. Not only for myself, but also for my mother.
Su Liuan deeply remembers the story his mother told him.
The young lady and the maid who first entered Kyoto met a scholar who was fighting for others in the tavern, although the scholar was wearing cloth clothes, but the righteous and awe-inspiring and handsome appearance still touched the young lady's heart.
After understanding, the young lady knew that the scholar was this year's Tanhua Lang Yueqiu, ranked third in the palace examination, and now he is in the limelight, and his handsome appearance can be regarded as one of the few people in Kyoto City.
The young lady who came out to play alone with the maid was the daughter of the famous family on the rivers and lakes, the name was Yexibai, and the head of the night family only had this one daughter, so she could naturally be called the pearl of her palm, and her temperament was also arrogant and domineering. But if he has a better temper, he will definitely win the gentleman's affection, and there is no need to use other tricks.
"Yu Fei, what do you think of the Yueqiu people?"
Yexi pinched a brocade handkerchief with his white hand to block half of his face, but his eyes stared directly at Yueqiu, who often came to this inn to eat.
"Naturally, he is a handsome and rare good son."
Yu Fei leaned close to Miss's face and replied with a smile.
"Then what do you think, how is your young lady?"
After getting the answer, Yexi Bai playfully raised her face and asked her again.
Yexibai's little face is fair and ruddy, her big eyes are also very beautiful, and her upturned little nose bridge and attractive red lips are a perfect combination.
"Miss was born with red lips and white teeth, and she has the appearance of a shy flower in the closed moon, I see, and the new Tanhualang are a match made in heaven!"
Yexi Bai really fell in love with the Tanhualang at first sight. Her handmaid said a few words, and she was overjoyed, believing it to be true.
But when the two of them were out playing, I don't know who saw it, Yexi Bai's family was very fond of her, she was lawless and unrestrained, and her behavior was naturally different from that of everyone in Kyoto City.
At that time, the palace was electing a concubine for the emperor, and as long as the civil and military officials were in the house, there were female dependents waiting for the boudoir. It is necessary to draw a picture for it, present it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and then send it to the emperor for screening.
The bad thing is that it is attached, and I don't know who drew the back picture and sent it to the emperor.
At that time, the emperor was thirty-seven or eighteen years old, and occasionally saw this back swaying, without any worries in his actions, revealing his sincerity.
The emperor, who has been on the throne for ten or two years, walks in this huge palace every day, although the food, utensils, etc. are all superior products, but to the outside world, he still wants to see with his own eyes, but the sad thing is that he is an emperor, although the world is under his control, but he is trapped in a cumbersome and huge cage and can not get out, and he can only look up at the sky every day, imagining that he can travel thousands of worlds.
This back interprets everything he longs for. So the emperor offered to make this person his concubine.
However, this is only an oolong, a painting that a painter accidentally drew when he traveled through the market. But the emperor insisted on finding this woman. So in the city of Kyoto, hundreds of back pictures were posted. In addition, a special notice was posted saying that if someone could find this woman, a reward of 10,000 taels of gold would be offered. It's a blessing from the sky, and it's hard not to cause a boom in Kyoto.
At that time, Yexibai and Nayueqiu were working hard, so don't ignore a lot of problems. Until one day, Yueqiu saw the portrait that had been posted all over the city, and he was shocked to feel familiar, and tore off one and brought it back.
Yueqiu asked if this person was her? questioned why Yexi Bai and her fell in love with each other why they entered the palace to participate in the election of the concubine.
When Yexi Bai saw the familiar clothes and hairpins, he knew that the person was really himself. But it really wasn't her own, she desperately explained to Yueqiu, she didn't know why she became like that, and said that as soon as she entered the city of Kyoto, she met him who was confronting someone in the inn, and felt that the words in this person's mouth were amazing and beautiful, and it was a handsome face, so she fell in love at first sight.
Yueqiu told Yexi Bai angrily that this was an order from the official, and if someone was found and not reported in time, it would definitely cause death.
Even if Ye Xibai is very pampered, she was frightened when she encountered this kind of thing, and tears fell from her bright eyes, and she was so delicate that no one could bear to make her cry.
Yueqiu immediately proposed: "I see that the figure and back of the little maid named Yu Fei in your family are all a little similar to you, you see how it is, let her replace you, how about you still stay by my side, so that she can enjoy thousands of glory and wealth in the palace, but I am still a poor scholar now, I am afraid that it will affect you." ”
Ye Xibai, who was so scared, heard that he was going to do this, and first paused, but his tears did not fall.
"But Yu Fei has someone she likes in her heart, and it's really inappropriate for us to do this."
"But you want to die with me on that guillotine? I'm not afraid, but I pity you for being so cute. ”
"I don't want it!" Ye Xibai was frightened by his words and shrank back.
Yueqiu didn't tell Yexi Bai that if he could tell the emperor where this woman was, he would get the news that he would get ten thousand taels of gold.
Yu Fei's little maid didn't want to appear in front of the two of them at will since she saw her young lady living with that Tanhualang, and she went around and around, but she met a lot of people in a place to join in the fun, she was suspicious of a lot of people, and left after a few glances, only to vaguely see them discussing something around a portrait.
It wasn't until night fell that she wandered home, saying that it was home, but in fact it was just a house rented by Yexibai in order to be able to see Yueqiu every day.
When she entered the door, she saw the young lady tidying up.
"Miss, what are you doing with all these things? Are we going back? Have you discussed it with Yuetanhua? Is he willing to go to Ye's house to propose? ”
Yexi Bai smiled and smiled indescribably pretty: "This person is okay, but I don't want to go home, but for your good deeds, I decided to stay in this Kyoto city, knowing that you will definitely not give up the night home, so I sent a message to the family to pick you up, but what about the person you are looking forward to, I guess that person is also about to arrive."
Yexi Bai winked at her playfully, Yu Fei was stunned for a while, and then he reacted, and his face was much more rosy.
"Miss, yes, do you mean that Brother Hugh Yi is coming to pick me up? Just him? Yu Fei was nervous and happy, covering his face, and then lowered his eyes again, and suddenly raised his eyes to look at Ye Xibai as if to make sure what she said was true.
"Can I still not understand you? Naturally, he was the only one who came. ”
Yu Fei covered his face shyly, and then as if he realized something, he blessedly and made a gesture at Yexi Baifu.
"Thank you, Miss, for thinking so much about the slave maid, if I can really marry Brother Xiuyi, I will definitely invite Miss back to have a cup of wine."
"Nature." Night Creek Bai nodded. Then there was silence, bowing his head and unable to laugh any longer.
"By the way, if you want to see him, you must dress up beautifully, so that he can only see you alone in his eyes."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Yu Fei clasped his hands in front of his chest, and his cheeks were flushed, dazzling like a red glow.
Ye Xibai led her to the inner room and changed into a snow green horse face skirt.
"In the past, you gave me a hairpin, but today, I will serve you once, so that you can go to see your good brother happily!"
After tossing for a while, Yexi Bai took out the best fat cream and Daimei that she had bought in Kyoto City in recent days and gave her to use.
Yu Fei's posture is not bad, after applying makeup, there is a kind of cold beauty, not like at a glance, you can surprise other people's eyes, but if you taste it carefully, you will find that this person's eyebrows and eyes are extraordinarily good-looking.
"After you put on your makeup, you are a little more glamorous than me, so that the two of us stand together, and others really can't tell that you are the master and I am the master"
"Miss can't make fun of the slave, but the slave really looks good?"
Yu Fei bowed her head shyly, looking back at the time of looking forward to it, she was extremely beautiful.
"Your young lady, who I say is good-looking, and who dares to say that you are not good-looking, I will beat him!"
Yexi Bai let Yu Fei turn around in front of her two or three times to make up for some deficiencies before she began to be satisfied.
"Alright, I want that kid to wait early, I'll lead you over!"
Yexibai took Yu Fei's hand, after all, it was the first time for Yufei to look like this, and he was infinitely shy in his heart, for fear that it would not look good, so he lowered his head all the way and let Yexibai pull him forward, and thus ignored the abnormality on the surrounding streets.
Next to the green water willow bank, there are two people standing, and the water surface is rippling.
The lotus lanterns on the surface of the lake were so bright that they almost lit up the night.
The two men on the shore were talking.
"Your Majesty, are you impatient? My sister is usually stubborn and doesn't take care of herself very well, so the time to dress up has become longer, please calm your anger. ”
Yueqiu, who was dressed in a brocade robe, bowed slightly, and did not dare to straighten his waist when he spoke, only occasionally secretly aimed at the expression of the person beside him with his residual vision.
"It's okay, I still have some time!"
The person who spoke was dressed in an uneyed black robe.
