Yan Mansion

Xiao Hongmei read the letter in her hand three times before folding it back and putting it back in the envelope, and just opened the drawer in front of the dresser, the grandmother next to her knocked on the door and came in, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Chu is here." ”

The relationship between the two families is close, Lin Yuanxiu often comes to visit the door, especially when Chu Feng is not in Beijing, no one quarrels with her, and when Lin Yuanxiu is bored and has spare time, he can only come here to rub his mouth with Xiao Hongmei and kill time.

Xiao Hongmei closed the drawer, and when she turned around, a person walked in quickly, shouting as she walked: "Why is it so hot just now in the summer, I am stuffy and hot in the carriage, Meimei, hurry up and get me a pot of herbal tea." "Speak freely, as if in your own home.

Obviously, the subordinates of Yanfu are used to it, and when they received Xiao Hongmei's eyes, Mama retreated...... Make a pot of hot tea.

Sure enough, when the tea came up, Lin Yuanxiu was not satisfied, "I'm bored in my heart, you give me hot tea?" ”

Xiao Hongmei straightened her clothes, "Why don't you go and swim in the backyard pool twice?" ”

"Come on, hot tea is hot tea, it's better than nothing." Lin Yuanxiu picked up the tea bowl and blew it twice, took a small sip, the tea was light yellow, the entrance was fire-free, and it was a little sweet, "Rock sugar was added." ”

Xiao Hongmei squinted at her: "Listening to your tone of being so aggrieved, I won't even have hot tea in the future." ”

Lin Yuanxiu immediately leaned over, squeezed her eyebrows and said, "Mei Mei still cares about me, knowing that I hate the taste of chrysanthemum tea, so I deliberately added sweetness." ”

"What's the matter, I'm not accompanying your Shaoqing today?" said that two days ago, Xiao Hongmei invited Lin Yuanxiu to go to Yanchong Temple on the mountain to make incense, and Lin Yuanxiu sent people in the house to tell her that she wanted to accompany her father-in-law to visit the temple fair, which made Xiao Hongmei angry, and the friendship between the two was so much on their fingers, and it broke when they met a man.

Lin Yuanxiu smiled with a shy face: "Men are not at home, so they don't have to play." ”

Xiao Hongmei snorted lightly: "Be careful of playing too much and causing personal life." ”

"Poof-" Lin Yuanxiu's tea sprayed directly, "Meimei, just say it, do you want to make money or kill yourself?" ”

Wiping the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, Lin Yuanxiu straightened his sleeves, fanned the wind with his hands, and said: "You all know that I hate the smell of incense the most, and my bald head hurts, so you have to let me go to a monk's temple." ”

Xiao Hongmei glanced at her coldly: "You are deeply sinful and need the baptism of the Buddha." ”

Lin Yuanxiu choked, what happened to her being a female bandit, did she break the law?

Forehead...... It seems to be a crime.

"Worship your Amitabha." Lin Yuanxiu waved his hand, "How about asking for peace for Yan Hui and his son?" By the way, Yan Hui didn't have good news over there, and he could come back at the end of this year. ”

The extermination of the thirty-three villages in Jingnan is not a great achievement, but because Yan Hui has a bad reputation in the army, it is estimated that he cannot reward his merits.

For Yan Mansion, this is a good thing, otherwise the merit will be covered, and Yan Hui is already holding the position of a major general at a young age, and if he rises further, I am afraid that it is not appropriate, but if he is not rewarded, it seems that the emperor is too harsh and stingy to the meritorious ministers.

But if you reward it again, it is not a reward for Yanhui, but a reward for Yanfu, such as a knighthood.

Judging from the same founding heroes, Chu Xuan was named the protector of the country, and there are also loyal and brave marquis, Wu'an marquis, just Yanfu for so many years, fighting on the battlefield, guarding the northwest Taiping, and the lintel is still the general's mansion, which shows that the emperor has no intention of being knighted, and he doesn't want Yanfu to go to the next level.

Originally, the emperor didn't want to send Yan back to Jingnan this time, but Shang had no prospects...... The emperor is probably depressed when he thinks about it now.

So, now it seems that it is the best situation.

Referring to Yan Hui father and son, Xiao Hongmei's face showed a little longing and worry, the father and son are one west and one north, thousands of miles apart, and they are all doing things to protect their families and defend the country, but they still encounter suspicion, how can they not be helpless, "Yan Hui sent a letter back, and he will return to Beijing next month." ”

"Huh?" Lin Yuanxiu took a plum from the fruit bowl next to him and threw it in his mouth, chewed it twice, and said strangely: "This is coming back?" What does the emperor mean, do you want to go back? ”

Xiao Hongmei shook her head, "Next month, on the birthday of the Queen Mother, Beidi Xiliang and Dongling will send people to come, and the emperor wants him to come back to report on his work, and by the way, he can sit in Beijing." "I don't know if there will be any trouble at that time, but I just use this excuse to recruit Yan back, and I don't know what the intention is.

The Queen Mother was originally a month back from Mu Qingqing, but the road was closed by heavy snow in the middle of winter, and it rained for more than a month after the beginning of spring, and the road was difficult, and the Queen Mother was old, afraid that she would be tired on the road and be easy to get cold, so she simply decided to leave in April in the warm spring, so that she would return to Beijing in May, before her birthday.

"The palace of Bailong Mountain has been built, right? I heard that King Jing was supervising the work before......" Speaking of Mu Beichen, Lin Yuanxiu sat up, looked left and right, covered his mouth and leaned over to Xiao Hongmei, and said, "He will go back to Beijing with Yan Hui, right?" ”

Xiao Hongmei turned her head: "I heard that King Jing is already on his way back." ”

"Huh?" Lin Yuanxiu blinked, how could she not know.

"It was my father who said it, and he asked me to pay attention to the recent movements in Beijing, saying that there are some people who are ready to move." Xiao Hongmei's father is Yan Zhengdao, he did not go to the northwest with Yan Xun, the emperor said, General Yan is old, it is better to stay in Beijing to raise it, in fact, everyone knows that this is equivalent to releasing a hostage in Beijing, with Xiao Hongmei and Yan Zhengdao, they can contain Yan Xun's father and son outside.

Lin Yuanxiu thought about it for a while, and immediately understood, "You're talking about King Duan," sneered, "Since the crown prince fell from power, he is now in the limelight." ”

Xiao Hongmei lifted the tea lid and pushed the tea foam on it, and said thoughtfully: "It is inconvenient to act in Beijing, I am afraid that there may be an accident on the road." ”

"Probably not, he's so bold?" Lin Yuanxiu frowned, "I don't know where our kid died, maybe the same road is uncertain." ”

Xiao Hongmei shook her head, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip: "Otherwise, the prince's uncle can't dig up the body and spread it in the yard by himself." ”

Lin Yuanxiu remembered what happened before, and she had to admire Duanwang for being a ruthless and resolute master, if it weren't for the different positions, she would have wanted to applaud.

After all, in terms of competing for reserves, everyone's means are not clean, just to see who is better, but if the competition between the two parties directly kills, it will inevitably be a little disdainful.

"Anyway, you see, there will be a time when it will not stop in the future." Lin Yuanxiu smacked his tongue, and the cool chrysanthemum tea was poured into his mouth in one go, washing away the dryness outside.

……

Duanwangfu

Aside from the uncertainties of King Duan, Liu Siyi's heartfelt resistance every time she comes into contact, she has quickly become competent for the role of Princess Duan, a daughter of a famous family, and has been cultivated since she was a child, so she is also handy in handling the housekeeping affairs.

Next month is the Queen Mother's birthday, everyone is ready to show their faces, if the gift is made the Queen Mother happy, it is to make the emperor happy, and the future is good.

Now that the forbidden army is back in the hands of King Duan, the crown prince has been taken away by the emperor again, it can be described as a spring breeze, and the limelight in Beijing is the fastest, and immediately those ministers quietly began to stand in line, watching the emperor pay more and more attention to King Duan, and there are more and more ministers who are close to him.

Liu Siyi has now thought clearly, only the higher she stands, the more rights she can have, do what she wants to do, and the rest is not in a hurry.

At this moment in the warehouse, Liu Siyi looked at the room full of silk and satin, gold, silver and jade, but they were all just glanced at lightly, and they were not placed on any object, as if they couldn't be seen.

Qimei waited carefully, since the young lady became Princess Duan, her aura was strong, and she couldn't see through it more and more, "Princess, the slave maid thinks that Fang Shouyin's inkstone is very good." ”

Liu Siyi only glanced at it, then turned his eyes away, "Nothing here." ”

Qimei didn't know what Liu Siyi wanted, for three days in a row, the people in the palace collected a lot of things, but Liu Siyi was stunned and couldn't look at it, she said that it was better to draw a picture of longevity or something, Liu Siyi smiled sarcastically, "Everyone else is like this, if you send it again, can you let the Queen Mother take a look at it more?" ”

Therefore, Qimei didn't know what kind of one to pick to meet the conditions that Liu Siyi wanted.

For gifts, Liu Siyi also thought about it, now Duanwang is too much in the limelight, but he can't be too valuable, and it is difficult to be decent but unconventional.

After turning around like this, but not picking a ugly person to come out, Qimei closed the treasury and handed the key to Liu Siyi, the master and servant left from this courtyard, and just walked a few steps, they saw a black shadow flashing.

Liu Siyi looked over: "This is a black dove?" ”

Because in the house, the black dove didn't fly around with light skills, but he had some light skills on his feet, and he walked a little faster, but he could still vaguely see his appearance.

"It's a black dove, yes, maybe there is something important to find the prince." Qimei knew that the prince was not in the study today, maybe the black dove didn't find anyone, so he scurried around in the palace.

Liu Siyi lowered his eyes: "Where did the prince go?" ”

Qimei looked at Liu Siyi, with a strange face, and he wanted to speak and stopped.

"Didn't you hear?" Liu Siyi frowned.

Qi Mei pursed his lips, lowered his head and said, "The prince is here...... Su Ruyi is there. The last few words were weak mosquitoes and flies, and Yu Guang secretly observed whether Liu Siyi's expression changed.

Su Ruyi was the woman brought back by King Duan last month, placed in the backyard, and did not give a name, but for a month, she slept in her yard.

Liu Siyi's face was blank, and he only responded lightly, "Let's go over and have a look." ”

Chess eyebrows hesitated: "The princess ......"

"What? Think this concubine is going to find fault? Liu Siyi hooked her lips, and her smile was light and cold: "A woman for entertainment, this concubine can't do it." In fact, with this Su Ruyi, King Duan didn't come to her room, but she still had to be grateful to that woman.

The two of them were definitely not as fast as the black dove, they took the path past, and they just came out next to the courtyard, and when they raised their eyes, they saw Duanwang and Hei Dove standing in the courtyard, Duanwang had his back to them, and he couldn't see his expression.

It's just that the black dove lowered his head and apologized, and said: "The subordinates understand that he will not be able to return to the capital!" ”

Such a sentence has no beginning and no end, but Liu Siyi's heart jumped, and somehow, he had a bad premonition.
