Chapter 17: The Orchid Pavilion Collection: Preface

Xie Ying came to Tongxin Hall in a regular manner, and saw that the table of dishes prepared by Zhou was her daily favorite food, and walked in happily.

"I forgot the rules again." Zhou glanced at her with a smile, Xie Ying immediately blessed her, and the maid who was serving her behind Zhou had already surrounded her.

When everything was ready, Xie Ying sat under Zhou, but Zhou didn't pick up the chopstick, and his eyes kept staring at her.

Xie Ying sat more and more well, "Auntie, I didn't make a mistake today!" ”

Zhou shook his head lightly, his eyebrows and eyes smiling, "What did King Chen say to you today?" ”

Her body was slightly stunned, and her heart chuckled, and she hurriedly lowered her eyes and whispered, "A-Niang, why do you ask me this?" ”

This is a shy appearance, Zhou was suspicious in his heart.

She sighed lightly again, "Didn't you ask me to help you deliver a post to see King Chen a few days ago?" ”

"Well," Xie Ying nodded, "Thank you, Auntie!" ”

Saying that, Xie Ying was about to pick up the chopsticks and pick up vegetables for her, "A-Niang has been waiting for me for so long, she should be hungry!" ”

Zhou looked at her quietly, and Xie Ying became more and more cramped.

"Well, let's not talk about it for now." Zhou didn't expect that the second lady with a warm personality and this shy appearance.

As she spoke, the servant woman handed over a post.

Xie Ying raised her eyebrows slightly, "A-Niang, what kind of ...... is this?"

"Didn't you ask me about the Polo Club?" Zhou smiled lightly, Xie Ying was still a little dazed, and Zhou had to poke her forehead gently, "It's that poetry club." ”

"Am I going too?" Xie Ying was deflated.

Zhou nodded seriously, Xie Ying didn't want to believe it, and asked with round eyes: "I was like that on the racecourse that day, and there are such rumors outside, do you want to invite me to go?" ”

"This is inevitable," Zhou said gently, "Although the ladies of Lantingji are not important, but when you return to Beijing this year, you should naturally have your place." ”

Xie Ying pouted, "Ah Niang, but I am the second lady of the Northwest Hou Mansion, and I have lived in the northwest for many years, how can I write poetry?" ”

"You won't?" Zhou looked at her helplessly.

She frowned immediately, "As far as my poems are concerned, I can read them in Liangzhou, and the little ladies in the capital are all clever and exquisite, how can I compare?" ”

Saying that, Zhou hid his face and smiled, and his tone was even more helpless, "You! ”

"A-Niang," Xie Ying slowly took her hand and looked at her expectantly: "Why don't you push it!" ”

"That's not going to work." Zhou instantly withdrew the smile on his face and became serious again.

Xie Ying had no choice but to look at her pitifully, "Ah Niang, I grew up in Liangzhou, no matter how good or bad I go after, those little ladies will not have the heart to be close to me in their hearts, but just to explore." ”

"If you think about it, my brother is a person who went to high school, and I can't ......"

She is moved by emotion and understands reason. Xie Ying actually didn't want to deal with such a scene in her heart, as Daddy and her brother said: Chang'an is different from Liangzhou.

Zhou had no choice but to pat her hand gently, sighed lightly and said, "The lady who is the east this time is the Chen family, the mother of Her Royal Highness the Queen. ”

Her Royal Highness!

Xie Ying bit her lip, this is really something that can't be shirked, although the Northwest Hou Mansion is an important minister of His Majesty, the Duke of the Northwest is not only an important minister, but also a saint's aunt's family, and there will be a storm in the court if he misses half a point.

"I see." Xie Ying responded in a low voice.

Zhou rubbed her palm and warmed her, "It's just a poetry collection, can't you handle it?" ”

Xie Ying smiled lightly, relieving Zhou.

She could handle the scene, but she didn't want to deal with such a thing.

As she said, these little ladies are nurtured by poetry and books, a seven-hearted heart, a crooked mouth, isn't it good to go straight?

The queen's mother's house is the east, and the post will inevitably be sent to the princes in Beijing who are not yet married.

Chen Wang was fiddling with the koi fish in the pond in his yard, and a sneer burst out of his lips as he listened to the post read over again.

"Her Royal Highness thinks too highly of me."

Xiao Ke glanced at the post, "Have you inquired?" ”

Li Chun bowed, "The gentlemen and ladies of the last time I went to the polo club will go." ”

"The post of the Duke of the Kingdom of China, presumably several princes will also go, and the princess will also go?" Xiao Ke remembered Pingcheng's behavior before, and was always worried that she wanted to continue to retaliate against Xie Ying.

Closing the post, Li Chun said: "The news handed over from the palace, Princess Pingcheng is grounded, this time Lantingji will definitely not go." ”

"Is this man reliable?" Xiao Ke's expression gradually calmed down.

"It was the eunuch who served Queen Ton Yi in the past, and a few palace maids brought into the palace." Li Chun said, Xiao Ke's brows slowly frowned.

"We can still protect them in the palace, and now that they are out, they will do it sooner or later, let them be careful."

After Xiao Ke finished speaking, he threw the last handful of grain in his hand into the fish pond, turned around and walked towards Songzhu Hall.

After he sat down, Xiao Ketiancha continued to ask: "There are not many old people around my mother, but now that the Chen Wangfu is newly opened, Mrs. Yan, who used to serve my mother closely, has also taken care of me, so I might as well invite her to come." ”

Chen Wangmo held the teacup and had not yet put it in his mouth, "After all, you and I have limited scruples about things in the inner courtyard. ”

Li Chun shook his head, "Gorou has decided to move out of the palace, I have already repaired the book to Huainan Road, presumably the May Yan lady will be able to enter Beijing." ”

Glancing at him, Xiao Ke knocked on a few cases and motioned for Li Chun to come to tea, and when he picked up the teacup, he didn't forget to choke him, "Cousin has learned to cut first and then play now." ”

Li Chun only drank the tea, and said indifferently: "Then it was a marriage contract at the beginning, and Gorou didn't tell the county prince, just wait for Yan Niangzi to interrogate!" ”

Xiao Ke chuckled, "Lady Yan is naturally facing me." At the moment, he was like a child, and his face was not convinced.

Li Chun couldn't resist him, smiled and returned to normal, "The people in the mansion still have to interrogate them carefully, so as not to make their hands too long." ”

"Well," King Chen took a sip of tea and sighed, "Daddy can't speak for me at the moment, so he can only let his uncle's family be this villain." ”

"Over the years, they have also given them a lot of stumbling blocks, and they will only add one more thing." Li Chun said seriously.

King Chen pondered for a moment, and his face showed worry: "I can't contact my uncle at will, I can only ask my uncle to pay more attention to them when he repairs the book next time." ”

His uncle was Li Feng, the prince of Huainan County, and the Li family was a Huainan family, so the first emperor chose the Li family to be the widow of His Majesty when he was still in the palace.

After the Li family passed away, the current saint was involved in the royal dispute, he and Huaiyang were raised by their uncle, and when His Majesty ascended the throne, the six-year-old two were sent back.

The relationship between King Chen and his uncle's family has always been close, and the emperor also has the heart to defend it, so King Chen was not in good health later, and Li Chunke entered the palace to accompany the two.
