Chapter Seventy-Eight: Pinching Shoulders (Second Watch)
Qian Geng was beheaded in half, giving Xiao Ze a heavy blow.
Xiao Ze was shocked and furious, but he didn't dare to break out of the East Palace to enter the palace to see the emperor, he knew that the emperor was killing chickens and setting an example, and he was angry with him.
He was angry at Chen Qiaoyue, the waste, not to mention the revelation of the matter, and even involved Qian Geng, and his most powerful close minister, even with him, was angry with his father.
He had no choice but to go up and ask the emperor for his guilt.
The emperor hadn't figured out how to punish the crown prince or the Wen family, so he didn't even glance at Xiao Zhen's plea, and put it on the jade case.
Gonggong Zhao sighed in his heart, thinking that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would really die, even if the assassination case he used against Miss Ling was related to him, and what if the four dead soldiers confessed to him, it was better than now, buying Jingzhao Yin Mansion Yin, a third-grade master, made His Majesty feel that the throne was threatened.
The heavenly family first has monarchs and ministers, and then there are fathers and sons, I am afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been favored by His Majesty, and he can't see through it until now.
After Ling Hua stepped out of the palace, he was in a good mood, and felt that he could go to Guixia Tower to watch the final juggling ending, and by the way, stay with Yan Qing for a while.
Liuli got into the carriage, and when she saw Ling Hua smiling at the corner of her mouth, she knew that she was in a good mood, and said with a smile, "Chen Qiaoyue is really stupid, everything has been done, but he was rebelled by Miss in a few words." is so stupid, I don't know how I have been working in Jing Zhaoyin for many years. β
"He's not stupid, he feels the threat of Xu Zizhou, it's just a gamble, the suppression and panic of people's hearts are the fuse that destroys him." Ling Hua knows more about officialdom than Liuli, "He is afraid that under his nose, Xu Zizhou would have groveled to him and called him a subordinate official, but one day, he bowed to the young Xu Zizhou and bowed to him and called him a subordinate official, where will he put his face?" β
Liuli sighed, "The official position is the residence of the capable, just for this, the evening festival is not guaranteed, and it is worth losing a life?" β
Ling Hua shook his head, "Who knows, didn't he regret it in the end?" But it was too late. β
However, it was precisely because she pinched his temperament that she unexpectedly made this matter go smoothly, so that the crown prince really stepped on a thunderbolt from His Majesty and threatened the authority of the emperor, which is much more guilty than assassinating her and injuring Yan Qing, plus conniving at the Wen family and the Green Forest Black Thirteen, the prince's account, Your Majesty can be regarded as a sure note.
It's not in vain.
"Miss is really a last resort." Liuli sighed, "I don't know how Your Majesty punished His Royal Highness the Prince, I heard that Gonggong Zhao has been asked to go to the East Palace." β
Ling Hua narrowed his eyes, "Deal with Qian Geng heavily, and for Xiao Ze, it depends on how much of His Majesty's loving father's heart is left." β
If there is a lot left, it will focus on teaching, scolding, and closing it tightly, such as adding a few more months to the punishment that has been thought about behind closed doors, and there is less left, then, it will be closed for half a year, remove all positions, remove the team of close ministers in the East Palace, and control the prince more.
Liuli pouted, "As long as you don't abolish the prince, everything will be in vain." β
"What's the hurry? You have to take it slowly, and you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Your Majesty's body is still in its prime, and it is much better to let Xiao Ze slowly hold on to it than to let Xiao Zhen go up and be stared at by His Majesty as soon as possible. Ling Hua looked very open, "There are still fights." β
Liuli was happy in her heart, "Look at how the prince fell out of favor step by step, but it is also very good-looking." β
Ling Hua also smiled, "Yes." β
She wants to let Xiao Ze be defeated, in order to avenge the collapse of the Ling family, naturally she will not let him fall too easily, he wants him to see little by little how he lost the emperor's heart and lost the position of the prince, otherwise, it is not enough for her to spend so much effort to plan him against the bloody rain.
The carriage came to Guixia Building, and the juggling in Guixia Building was still playing.
is worthy of the Guo family's team, they have been acting for most of the day, and they still haven't made the slightest mistake in exhaustion, which is very exciting.
Ling Hua entered the banquet box, as far as he was concerned, obviously since he left, no one came to look for him, and he didn't let anyone come to accompany him, he sat lazily on the chair, no bones, and the whole person was not as energetic as before, lazy and lazy, his eyelids were raised from time to time, as if he was tired.
Hearing the movement, he turned his head and was slightly surprised, "Aren't you leaving?" Why is it here again? β
"I'm done with things, I'm here to accompany you." Ling Hua naturally walked over and sat down, and was shocked when she saw a plate of peeled melon seeds on the table, she remembered that before leaving, she had eaten the plate of melon seeds that she shouted "brother" and asked him to peel, this is what he peeled again?
It was because her expression was too surprised, Yan Qing immediately stood up, took the plate of melon seeds, and slowly pinched herself to eat, "This is what I peeled for myself, I don't have your share." β
Ling Hua: "......"
You peeled it for yourself, why did I eat it when I came?
She looked at Yan Qing, "Is there really no share of mine?" β
"Nope." The banquet was not polite, and after three or two clicks, he ate a plate of melon seeds into his stomach and put the empty plate on the table.
Ling Hua: "......"
What are you doing in such a hurry? She won't rob again. Even if you want to grab it, you don't dare to grab it.
She looked at Yan Qing with blank eyes, "Why don't you leave any of them for me?" β
Yan paused lightly, was silent, and reached out to peel a melon seed kernel for her, "Here you go." β
Ling Hua didn't answer and opened his mouth.
Yan lightly brushed aside his face, but his hand was still raised high, and he didn't touch her lips at all, and threw the melon seed kernel into her mouth.
Ling Hua was in a good mood, and a smile immediately came out, "Thank you." β
Although she didn't eat that plate of melon seeds, she was also very satisfied with being able to let him peel another one with his own hands and feed it to her.
Yan Qing lay back on the recliner and continued to watch the juggling lazily.
Ling Hua asked him, "Isn't it pretty?" β
"It's not."
"Are you tired of watching?"
"Not really."
"What's that? I see that you are quite unenergetic, but you are sleepy. Ling Hua was puzzled.
Yan Qing lifted his eyelids, "I'm tired of seeing." β
Ling Hua understood, "Then go home!" I'll send you home. β
Yan shook his head lightly.
Ling Hua was puzzled.
Yan said casually, "My fiancΓ©e chartered me to watch juggling, didn't I watch enough for a whole day, like words?" Isn't it a waste of hard work? β
Ling Hua suddenly, it turned out that he was tired of seeing it and lazily endured it here, she pursed her lips and smiled, "It's okay, anyway, if you read it, it's not a waste of my hard work, the injury on your arm hasn't healed yet, I haven't taken a nap today, I've been watching it for a long time, it's normal to be bored, let's go!" β
Yan Qing half lay still.
Ling Hua stepped forward and tugged at his sleeve, coaxing softly, "Okay, let's go, I won't blame you." β
Yan Qing got up and said reluctantly, "Okay then! β
The two went downstairs, and Ling Hua instructed Liuli, "You stay and send Shen Shaoqing's younger brother back." β
Yan yawned lazily, "That kid can't stand it anymore and goes home, I'll let Duanyang send it back." β
Ling Hua was relieved, "What about Mrs. Xu?" β
"Mrs. Xu loves to watch juggling, and she still watches it."
Ling Hua smiled and said to Liuli, "Then you send Mrs. Xu back." β
Ruri nodded.
Ling Hua's carriage was parked outside Guixia Tower, Ling Hua opened the curtain, and invited the banquet to get on the car first.
Yan glanced at it and jumped into the carriage.
Ling Hua then sat down.
Ling Hua's carriage banquet was the first time he sat down, he looked around and commented, "You will enjoy it, and the jade chariot may not be as comfortable as your carriage." β
Looking at the humble carriage from the outside, but inside it was different, big and bright, and it was no problem for three or four people to lie sideways. Everything you need is a good thing.
Ling Hua smiled and said, "I rely on it when I go out, it is specially built by people, if you like it, I will also ask people to build one for you." β
Yan shook his head lightly, "No, I like horseback riding." β
Suddenly, he asked, "Are you ready to make the clothes you made for me?" β
"No, it's almost, and the day after tomorrow I'll almost finish embroidering the gold thread." Ling Hua gave a time, "The night after tomorrow, I'll send you to the house." β
Yan nodded lightly, "What about the mirror that you said is clearer than the ordinary mirror?" β
"I'll send it to you too."
Yan Qing was satisfied, so he simply lay down on the carriage and said "hmm" comfortably, "What kind of reclining chairs are placed in the box of Guixia Building?" There should be a low couch, the kind that can lie down. β
Ling Hua smiled, "Usually no one stays in Guixia Tower for a day." β
"That's right." Yan twisted his body lightly and asked unceremoniously, "Will you pinch your shoulders?" β
"Somewhat."
"Pinch me then? Exhausted. Yan Qing kept yawning and simply closed his eyes.
"Okay." Ling Hua was very happy.
This is a good opportunity for her to get close to Yan Qing, so she won't miss it, to be honest. She is not very good at pinching her shoulders, and she is fundamentally not very good at serving people, and when her mother was there, she didn't let anyone teach her this. In her mother's opinion, she will marry into the Anguo Mansion in the future, and she will not have to serve people.
But now she feels that she has to find someone to study well in the future, she wants to learn, serve the banquet, so that it is not bad to enhance the relationship with him and cultivate habits.
