Chapter 610: Reason to See
"Lord Changshi," the porter panted and ran to find Zhang Liqiu and Tao Ping: "Miss Xie is here, she wants to see our prince, ...... you look?"
"Who?" Zhang Liqiu and Tao Ping, who were working hard in a pile of official documents, raised their heads and looked at the concierge in a daze, these two people were now full of evidence and accounts of Uncle Wei's tax evasion case, and they didn't react for a while, who is this "Miss Xie".
They believe that the visitors who come and go in the palace are basically for official business, except for banquets, there are no female relatives visiting the door on weekdays, and occasionally a woman visits, it must be either the eldest princess or the third princess, and they will not necessarily come to the door for a year and a half, so at first glance, when they heard that a young lady came to the door, Zhang Liqiu and Tao Ping were a little confused.
"Miss Xie." The porter was so anxious that he patted his thigh: "Princess Xin in the future will be our housewife in the future, but you can't be lazy." ”
"Oooh! Miss Xie Xiangjia. As soon as he was reminded by the porter, Tao Ping's mind began to update the information, and he detached himself from the large number of account figures, remembering that an hour ago, their prince had just been married.
"Miss Xie is here, why are you coming to us?" Zhang Liqiu obviously just reacted to who this Miss Xie was, and looked at the porter with some puzzlement: "She wants to see the prince, and she doesn't want to see us." ”
"The prince locked himself in the room in the study in the backyard and said that no one was allowed to disturb him." The porter replied, "The little ones don't dare to spread the word at will." The little one just went to find Lord Jiling, and Lord Jiling didn't dare to call the door, so he called the little one to come to the adults. ”
Oh! That room! Zhang Liqiu and Tao Ping nodded in unison. The prince shut himself up again in the room where no one was allowed to enter.
Alas! Troublesome! There are so many official things, and you have to receive visitors. Zhang Liqiu reluctantly stood up from the desk, and complained in a low voice: "Jiling is also slippery, what are you looking for us to do with this kind of thing?" ”
"Okay, okay," Tao Ping waved at Zhang Liqiu without raising his head, as if chasing flies: "Go and go back quickly, there are still many things." After all, she is the future princess, even if she looks at Xie Xiang's face, she is not easy to slacken. ”
"This Miss Xie is also a wonderful person," Zhang Liqiu still kept muttering and complaining: "It's not been an hour since the marriage was given, why did she come to the door?" Is it in such a hurry? Where are the people? ”
"Just wait in the small side hall at the side door," replied the porter, "without the orders of the prince, we don't dare to let people in casually." ”
"Alas, how can you be so ignorant." Zhang Liqiu immediately frowned and quickened his pace: "No matter what, this Miss Xie is also the future princess, how can she let people wait in the small hall like ordinary visitors?" Why don't you let people go to the flower hall soon...... Forget it, I'll go to greet it in person, and apologize by the way. That's a ......."
Xie Shurou was sitting in the small side hall, stretching her neck to look out, she knew that Zheng Ying would not see her easily, so she was very patient. Sure enough, not long after, a middle-aged official wearing a five-grade official uniform suddenly came in outside, not tall, thin, and looked very shrewd.
Xie Shurou hurriedly pulled up the hood on her cloak and stood up, wanting to avoid it, but the middle-aged official walked up to her in a few steps and saluted her: "Miss Xie doesn't have to be nervous. The next official is Shi Zhang Liqiu, the left chief of the letter palace, Miss Xie is also invited to sit in the flower hall for a while, the prince is deliberating, I am afraid that I need to trouble Miss to stay for a while, and the next official will go to pass it on. ”
"I'm sorry for the trouble." Xie Shurou hurriedly returned the salute to Zhang Liqiu, and then followed Zhang Liqiu and went to the small flower hall of the Xinwang Mansion.
After Zhang Liqiu ordered someone to serve refreshments to Xie Shurou, he saluted Xie Shurou again: "Miss Xie wait a while, and the next official will go to find the prince." ”
Xie Shurou hesitated for a moment, and stopped Zhang Liqiu before he went out. She felt that Zheng Ying might not be able to see him easily, so she decided to take precautions and let Zhang Liqiu replace the words first.
"Wait a minute, Lord Changshi." Xie Shurou walked up to Zhang Liqiu, gave him a blessing salute, and then said straight to the point: "The prince may not have time to see the little girl. But the little girl does have something important to do, and she needs to see the prince. Therefore, please ask Lord Changshi to bring a message to the prince for the little girl. ”
"Miss Xie, please speak." Zhang Liqiu understood Xie Shurou's words and nodded at her gently.
"The eldest lady of the Mu family will go on the expedition the day after tomorrow," Xie Shurou said: "Please also ask Lord Changshi to tell the prince that the little girl came to the door today for the sake of Sister Mu, please make sure to see the little girl." ”
Xie Shurou opened her mouth and mentioned an irrelevant person, which made Zhang Liqiu stunned. Of course he knew that the eldest lady of the Mu family was going on the expedition today, and he also knew that the young lady of the Xie family and the eldest lady of the Mu family were on good terms, but he was a little strange, what important thing could Miss Mu have, so that it had not been an hour since the marriage was given, and the future princess Xin asked for the head of the prince for her?
However, although he was puzzled, Zhang Liqiu still nodded and agreed to Xie Shurou's request. As for whether King Xin Zheng Ying would meet Xie Shurou, Zhang Liqiu did not give a clear promise, because he didn't know much about what King Xin thought. After all, although King Xin's character is top-notch, and he is the dream of many girls in Beijing, this is the first time that a girl has come to the door! Zhang Changshi had no experience in dealing with these matters before.
Probably won't refuse to see Miss Xie, right? Zhang Changshi thought silently as he walked to the backyard. After all, they are already an unmarried couple......
As soon as Zhang Liqiu entered the courtyard of the study, he saw Ji Ling, who was on duty, standing in the middle of the courtyard boredly. Of course, Ji Ling knew what Zhang Liqiu was here for, so as soon as he came in, Ji Ling pointed to the closed gate of the main house in the courtyard, and then stepped aside.
Zhang Liqiu glared at Ji Ling angrily, walked up the steps in a few steps, stood in front of the door and said loudly: "Lord Wang, Miss Xie is visiting, she ......"
"Nope." Before Zhang Liqiu finished speaking, Zheng Ying's voice came from inside the door, refusing to be extremely decisive, and there was no room for maneuver.
Zhang Liqiu was stunned for a moment, and then wondered. It seems that this Miss Xie really knows a little bit about their prince, and she actually thought that the prince would refuse to see her?? Odd!
In any case, Zhang Liqiu still decided to finish the practice of what he had promised, at least to help Miss Xie pass on a word, so after Zhang Liqiu paused, he said again: "Lord Wang, Miss Xie has a word to convey to Lord Wang, she said that Miss Mu will go on the expedition the day after tomorrow, and she came to the door today for Miss Mu to ...... and ."
Before Zhang Liqiu finished speaking, the door was suddenly pulled open from the inside, Zheng Ying stood at the door, staring straight at Zhang Liqiu with a pair of dark eyes and asked, "What's wrong with Miss Mu?" ”
