Early the next morning, Concubine Jing contracted a cold and became menacingly ill. After the imperial doctor checked the pulse, there was a strong medicinal fragrance coming from the small kitchen of the Yingxi Palace. When Nato learned that Concubine Jing was sick, she ordered someone to pack a lot of good medicine to visit. When he arrived at Yingxi Palace, he was blocked by the palace people, saying that it was ordered by the imperial doctor, and Concubine Jing should live and recuperate well and not work to see guests. Na Tuo had to go back to Huayang Palace in a huff.
What happened in the palace had little impact on the Divine Machine Division.
Pei Jinyao sat on the small pestle under the porch and ate ice and snow cold yuanzi. Han He curled up on two long legs and asked her with a smile, "Is it delicious?" ”
I saw Yan Hong's little mouth open and close, "It's delicious." ”
Han He smiled like a bad guy who abducted and sold children, "Then can you teach me to fly to the sky and scatter beans into soldiers?" ”
Pei Jinyao glanced at him. I've found the wrong person. If she can fly away, she still needs to be idle by Lu Lang?
"Just kidding, kidding." Han He touched his nose in embarrassment, "I know that a master like you doesn't accept apprentices easily. I'm just asking. ”
Since the two of them had a meal in Congzhongju, Han He came to Shenji every once in a while to make friends. Also often ask some quirky questions. For example, which one can win a fight between the evil and the ghost. What is the difference between the dew taste of Qiannan and Beijing. Isn't it too cruel to take the blood of a black dog and kill a dog? Is there blood that replaces the blood of black dogs? It's good to use the blood of heinous people, and it can also eliminate harm for the people, killing two birds with one stone.
Pei Jinyao was often speechless when asked by him. But I don't find it annoying. After all, he will not be empty-handed every time, and he will buy three servings of fresh fruit and dim sum, and he will give a lot of tips to the little detective and Lao Wen.
"Tell you something, don't be angry." Han He said.
Pei Jinyao smiled dryly, "Don't say it if I'm afraid I'll be angry." ”
"Say it still has to be said. Not to mention that I feel uncomfortable. Han He cleared his throat, "Lu Jing is really betting that you can't ask for rain." Bet a thousand taels. I followed up with an additional 10,000 taels. The silver is small, and the momentum of our Shenji Division cannot be lost. ”
"You're really fed." She endured this for a long time, and finally said it. 20,000 taels of silver. "If you don't like a lot of money, you might as well set up a Salesian Workshop or a Salesian Bureau. It can also make a good name. ”
"I'm just trying to help you build momentum. Anyway, I've helped once, so I'll just help it to the end. You don't have to feel that you owe me a favor, I just think that your small courtyard is well organized, and it is not difficult to talk to you. It's nice to have time to come and sit. ”
It's like being wronged by the boss. Pei Jinyao glanced at him and concentrated on eating Leng Yuanzi.
"I've made a note of what you said about the Salesian House and the Salesian Bureau. When the Seventh Prince comes back, consider it with him. Han He felt that this proposal was serious and good, and it could earn Liu Cheng a good reputation for virtue.
Anyway, it is the people who will benefit in the end, and whoever does it will do the same. Pei Jinyao bit the spoon and hummed.
"Ming'er, don't go with your mouth when you go to Huayang Palace. No matter how ugly you talk outside, people will see that you are young and ignorant and don't have the same knowledge as you, and you won't be able to do it in the palace, and if you can't say it, you will be killed. Especially Nato's impatient temperament, provoking her is like stabbing a hornet's nest. Han He said quite solemnly: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess wants her to marry in the capital, so that we can see each other after leaving a line in everything." ”
I don't know who likes to do things badly. Pei Jinyao reluctantly responded: "I know." ”
Han He threw her a look that counted him as your acquaintance, stood up and straightened his sleeves, "Let's go." Go back and change your clothes, and go into the palace at night to eat delicious food. ”
Pei Jinyao said coldly, "You better take it easy, dress too outstanding, be careful of being recruited." Angry, Han He grinded his teeth and left.
……
After lunch, Queen Han closed her eyes slightly and leaned on the beauty couch. Hu Meilian kneaded her calves, "Your Majesty talked to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess very late last night, but unfortunately Your Majesty didn't let people wait in front of you." His Majesty came out of Huayang Palace and went straight to Yingxi Palace. Concubine Jing is so sick so coincidentally, how can Her Royal Highness the eldest princess be willing. ”
After yesterday's dinner, Queen Han's desire to win over Pingyi involuntarily faded. Those who have been queens are not the same as before.
"Let them toss." Empress Han snorted: "Pingyi's self-esteem intends to influence His Majesty's decision. She did this just to bring shame on herself. His Majesty tolerated her for a while, but it will be difficult to say in the future. ”
Hu Meilian couldn't help but think of Nato's arrogant expression. A girl like her who has no rules and no distance, let alone the royal family, and even ordinary eunuchs will not be willing to marry back.
"As soon as Pingyi moved the idea of marrying Na Tuo to Yu'er, Concubine Jing fell ill. It can be seen from this that His Majesty is unwilling to facilitate this matter. Let's watch them fight from the sidelines. This scene is sure to be exciting. Empress Han spat out a turbid breath, "Pingyi saw Lu Lang?" ”
"See." Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and the prince of the lone tiger met Lu Guoshi when they were visiting the imperial garden, and they talked for half an hour in the spring pavilion. Lu Guoshi praised Pei Shenji openly and secretly depreciated, but Her Royal Highness the eldest princess was extremely protective of Pei Shenji. But he didn't reprimand Lu Lang either. ”
Hearing this, Queen Han chuckled, "This Lu Lang really can't wait." ”
"Perhaps Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is more or less reciting the life-saving grace of Pei Shen's envoy." Hu Meilian hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you want to arrange more Pei Shen's tricks in front of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess?" ”
Most of the palace people in Huayang Palace are the eyeliners inserted by Queen Han, and it is easy to hand over the message or grasp their whereabouts.
"No need to do it." Empress Han opened her eyes, "Pingyi knows that his every move in the palace will fall into the eyes of those who have a heart. How could she clearly show that she didn't like Pei San? In this way, will not grace be revenge? As for what she was thinking, only she knew. You will find out the reward she gave to Pei San. ”
Hu Meilian said suddenly: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess ordered someone to take out a pair of jade unicorns and wrap them. It must have been for Pei Shen's opportunity. ”
"Jade Qilin? Is it the one who paid tribute to Goryeo? ”
The pair of Jade Qilin Yi Feng Emperor also liked it tightly, and it took a few days to receive it from Curry. When Pingyi returned to Beijing, Emperor Yifeng picked some ornaments from his private treasury and sent them to Huayang Palace. Among them was the pair of jade unicorns. If you reward Pei San, you will definitely lift her up.
"It's not. Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, who was paid tribute by the Goryeo Kingdom, ordered someone to place it in the dormitory. The pair she took out seemed to be a gift from the prefect of Yizhou. ”
Pingyi traveled from Liaodong to the capital, and many officials paid homage along the way. After returning to the palace, those gifts were also put into the warehouse.
Queen Han sighed twice, "It's a shame that she can give it away." Then he laughed, "No matter what, Pei San can be regarded as saving her mother's life." If you want to be rewarded, you will be rewarded, and who will not be able to do that little thing. Just reward the two jade unicorns, isn't this a slap in the face? She wasn't such a narrow-minded person before. Why did you go to Dongzhen, but he became stingy. ”
Hu Meilian was not good at talking about the eldest princess, and continued to help Queen Han rub her legs silently.
Queen Han sneered, "Don't say that she is narrow." It's a blessing that her mother can pick up a life. finally saved up a little gold, silver, and jade, and had to keep it for Na as a dowry. After a pause, "The one from Xiyan Palace doesn't show up, she must not be happy in her heart." Maybe we're going to make trouble again. Raising his hand to tuck his sideburns, the corners of his lips curled, "It's good to have fun." ”
……
On the day of the palace banquet, Pei Jinyao was wearing an official uniform, and deliberately painted her eyebrows a little blacker, looking heroic and sharp. In addition, in recent days, Pei Jinyao's thin cheeks have lost flesh, and when she looks at people, she has lost the smile in her eyes, and she is a little more aggressive.
What she wants is this fierce and strong, she is easy to suffer at a young age, and it is not okay for Pingyi to use her as a soft persimmon again.
Pei Jinyao looked in the mirror again and again, feeling quite satisfied. said hello to Lao Wen, and walked out of Donghua Gate to the palace with his hands behind his back.
According to the news that Lao Wen inquired about, Emperor Yifeng belonged to Liu Han, the twelfth year old niece of King Yifu. Liu Han's father, Liu Su, was a red-armored general in the palace. Although the grade is not high, it bears the responsibility of His Majesty the Emperor's safety. King Fu is also Zongzheng and is quite respected. Liu Han is also the same age as Duhu.
So at yesterday's dinner, Emperor Yifeng revealed a little bit of marriage. King Fu and Liu Su are happy to see it happen. Pingyi was always indifferent, Emperor Yifeng handed over the conversation, she just dealt with it hastily and was not very enthusiastic about Liu Han. Her performance was tantamount to saving Emperor Yifeng's face. Emperor Yifeng did not show displeasure on his face, but after the dismissal, he did not stay to eat tea and chat with Pingyi, which already explained his attitude.
Pei Jinyao also felt that Pingyi had unabashedly rejected Emperor Yifeng's kindness, which was really not smart enough. Even if Duhu successfully becomes the king of Dongzhen, he will have to live with his nose in Great Xia. Emperor Yifeng can marry the daughter of the clan to Duhu, and he will take more care of him in the future. The soldiers were still fighting hard with Shigu in Liaodong, but Pingyi was playing her own little abacus in the palace. If she returns to Dongzhen to be the queen mother, it is estimated that it will not be long before she dies in the country.
Pei Jinyao still doesn't have a lamb cart to sit on. The legs are in Huayang Palace.
The little yellow door led her to the side hall. Pei Jinyao stood at the door and smelled the smell of mixed balm. Her head was swollen and uncomfortable.
The women in big makeup gathered in three or five places, or served tea or snacks, and talked in a low voice from time to time. Pei Jinyao, who admired Yaoyu in official clothes, was particularly eye-catching. She glanced at it calmly, crossed the threshold and sat down in a random corner. The palace maid immediately brought fragrant tea and snacks.
Pei Jinyao thanked him politely and brought tea to eat.
After waiting for more than half an hour, the palace maid came to announce her visit. Pei Jinyao rubbed her water-filled stomach, got up slowly and followed her into the main hall. The eldest princess of Pingyi sat on the top, she was wearing a red palace dress and a phoenix-winged golden hairpin, although she was not a beauty who captivated the country and the city, but she could also be called dignified and beautiful. However, the demeanor is slightly serious, which makes people feel difficult to get close to. Beside her was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, with eyebrows and eyes similar to hers, and her dress was extremely grand and gorgeous, which was not commensurate with her age, and also made her a little less clever and vivid as a girl.
The mother and daughter seemed to want to give Pei Jinyao a dismissal. When I saw her come in, there was no superfluous expression on her face, as if she couldn't smile.
Also in the hall were the wives of Hu Jieyu and Xu Shu and the wives of Deng Zhen.
Mrs. Deng sat on the brocade stool, her face was unwavering, but her heart was worried. She didn't have anything to say to Pingyi or Hu Jieyu. and Mrs. Xu are nodding friends, and they are not very familiar. But Pingyi left her as a companion. And Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is bigger than the shelf on the queen's end. Mrs. Deng hummed and was very tired. As soon as she saw Pei Jinyao, a glimmer of light flashed in Mrs. Deng's eyes. It is said that meeting old acquaintances in a foreign country can be called a great joy in life. If you want her to say, it's really happy to meet acquaintances in the deep palace.
Pingyi didn't have much opportunity to deal with the eunuchs and concubines in Great Xia, and it was the grace of Emperor Yifeng to summon the foreign woman this time, and she also wanted to take this opportunity to pave the way for Nato. Pingyi originally wanted Concubine Jing to help build a bridge and answer a word or something. Concubine Jing's illness had to be replaced by Hu Jieyu. She was also born in Jiangmen, and Hu Chengzong and Xu Shu fought together in Liaodong. She will never be cold when she meets the Xu family.
Just looking at her appearance, Xu Shu's wife is a kind and graceful person. But if she can teach a daughter like Miss Xu Er who can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, she will never be a dough that everyone kneads and flattens.
Pei Jinyao's mind was racing, and she hurriedly withdrew her gaze and knelt down in her robe, "Pei Jinyao, the Divine Machine Division, meets Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess of Pingyi, Her Royal Highness Princess Nato." ”
Pingyi lowered his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Get up." There seemed to be a hint of grace in the words.
Pei Jinyao curled the corners of her lips slightly to hide the dislike in her heart. Not to mention that she can be regarded as saving the life of Pingyi's mother, but without this kindness, Queen Dongzhen should not be so contemptuous of the courtiers of Great Xia.
Pei Jinyao gave Hu Jieyu and others a courtesy again. Pingyi didn't say that he would give a seat, so Pei Jinyao stood upright in the hall.
From the time she came in until now, Nato's gaze had been glued to her. Xu was too tired to sit upright, Na Tuo twisted his waist, turned his head and said to Pingyi: "Mother, I didn't expect Pei Shenji to be so old...... Young. "Her Daxia official language is very good, and her words are correct and round, without any accent.
I'm afraid I want to say that I'm young. Pei Jinyao lowered her eyes and was silent. It seems that Pingyi's mother and daughter don't have the slightest affection for her, and they can even be said to be a little contemptuous. Was it because she was too young, or something else? Pei Jinyao was too lazy to explore.
"Yes, Pei Shenji makes young people promising." Pingyi's head paused slightly, her hair shook with the movement and made a crisp sound, she raised her eyelids and looked at Pei Jinyao, "Thanks to you, we can return to Great Xia." "Raise your hand and summon the palace maid," bring the pair of jade unicorns to the Pei Shen envoy. ”
Having said that, there is no sincerity in thanking for it. From beginning to end, it was an unstoppable posture.
Pei Jinyao sighed secretly, and knelt down in his robe to thank him.
Pingyi's fingers painted with scarlet kodan were raised slightly, and his voice was low, "Get up." ”
According to the old text, Pingyi has a harmonious temperament. But the style of the person in front of him is obviously deliberately trying to make it difficult.
Pei Jinyao couldn't help but gather her mind and deal with it carefully.
The palace maid brought the jade unicorn that had been prepared a long time ago, and Pei Jinyao knew at a glance that it was a random reward. She didn't expect Pingyi to repay her, so she didn't feel disappointed. It's just that she doesn't like Pingyi's attitude towards her.
Pei Jinyao's expression was as usual, and she was not grateful for the reward. This made both Pingyi and Na Tuo feel very happy.
Na Tuo glanced at Pei Jinyao and said to Mrs. Xu: "Before leaving, Sister Xu gave me a short dagger that sharpens iron like clay. I really like it. The smile was full of joy and almost overflowed from the bottom of her eyes, "Sister Xu can really be described as a woman who does not let her eyebrows go." ”
