Chapter 62: The Upper Temple
Chapter 62: The Upper Temple
The carriage of King Yan's Mansion was waiting outside the Xuanhua Gate.
Zhao Chengyan took Zhao Ying out of the palace, and Shen Dianchen's father and son didn't dare to catch up and say those words again.
The carriage is wide, and it is specially ordered by the Queen Mother to customize it for Zhao Chengyan, and on weekdays, it can accommodate the subordinate guests in the Yan Wang's Mansion when discussing matters in the carriage.
At this time, only he and Zhao Ying were sitting inside, but it seemed empty.
Zhao Ying was silent all the time, thinking that she hadn't eaten much at the banquet, so he raised his hand and took a plate of rose cake from the third compartment of the six-layer wooden drawer in the side corner, and put it on the delicate small case in front of her.
She finally looked up: "Why did Uncle Huang prepare food in the car?" โ
Zhao Chengyan's retracted hand was wrapped around his chest again, and the person leaned against the wall of the carriage: "I went to the palace banquet tonight, specially prepared for you." โ
Zhao Ying's eye sockets were hot, and the tip of her nose was pantothenic: "Uncle Huang is really good." โ
But her voice was still soft, and her buzzing voice was more like a low moan, and her interest was not high.
Zhao Chengyan didn't like sweets and didn't like to eat these delicate pastries, but he still took a piece with his hands: "Don't be too sad, Shen Dianchen is such a person, I have worked with him for many years, and I know that he is a temperament, if you are sad for him tonight, you don't have to." โ
The corners of Zhao Ying's eyes twitched.
He really doesn't know how to persuade people.
Isn't it worth putting more effort into coaxing a delicate little girl like her?
Shen Dianchen said too many words, so he didn't have to forget about it?
"I'm just angry, and the words I say to him are all from my heart."
She pinched a piece of cake in her hand, fiddled with it and didn't eat it, but poured out the crumbs of pastry all over the floor, and even her skirt was stained a lot.
She lowered her head again and stared at her fingertips: "Actually, it's not the first time that Liu Shuyi has targeted me, so even though I know that there are still doubts about tonight's events, I don't have any good feelings for her." โ
Zhao Chengyan pinched his brows and told her to stop: "You made a cake, is it dirty?" โ
said and sighed helplessly: "What else did Liu Shuyi do to you?" โ
"She planted eyeliner in my palace, and after Zhao Che's incident, I found out, beat her and sent her back, and she sent people out of the palace."
Zhao Chengyan squinted: "Have you seen someone after you left the palace?" โ
Zhao Ying shook her head: "She found me, because her brother owed gambling debts, she came to me for help, and she told me something - Liu Shuyi has done a lot of things in the palace over the years.
Anyway, she is not a good type, I was frightened today, thinking that my father was not in the mood to listen to this, and Zhao Wan was poisoned and I don't know how, so I don't want to go back to my father at this time. โ
Zhao Chengyan understood.
No wonder she would say, enter the palace tomorrow and ask An to reply.
She didn't know what handle Liu Shuyi was holding in her hand.
Relying on the head of the internal government department has done a lot of things, I am afraid that there will be no shortage of internal and external collusion, or framing others.
Zhao Ying seemed to suddenly remember something, her eyes lit up, and she had a little brilliance.
Zhao Chengyan was a little distracted, his eyes just touched her bright eyes, and he covered his lips and coughed: "What do you want to do?" โ
"I want to follow Uncle Huang to the Taiji Hall tomorrow!"
She opened her mouth seriously, and Zhao Chengyan was indeed surprised: "You're not afraid that the imperial historian will impeach you?" โ
"When Xuanzong was in the Xuanzong Dynasty, Princess Ming'an was the regent of the dynasty, and Princess Zhaohui was also in charge of the Zongren Mansion in the Renzong Dynasty, I will go to the palace tomorrow to avenge myself, why impeach me?" Zhao Ying tilted her head, her face full of innocence, "Are they full of food and support, can they do nothing?" โ
Zhao Chengyan was amused by her: "Then you have to tell me, what handle are you pinching Liu Shuyi?" โ
Zhao Ying's little face fell: "Uncle Huang is planning to taste a product, think about it, can you let me go to the palace to distinguish?" โ
"Are you taking me as Shen Dianchen?"
He didn't answer the rhetorical question, but Zhao Ying was not easy to answer.
"Of course Uncle Huang is not that kind of person." Her dark eyes rolled slightly, but her gaze did not fall on Zhao Chengyan again, "One is that she colluded with the Liu family inside and outside, and exchanged letters, I know that she didn't do this kind of thing alone, but she relied on internal officials to collude with her relatives, this is not good!" โ
Zhao Chengyan raised his cheeks to look at her, raised his eyebrows and motioned for her to continue.
Zhao Ying looked at him carefully for a while, thinking that he should have listened to it, so he continued: "The rest, when I go to the palace tomorrow, Uncle Huang will know, can you take me there?" โ
She's being coquettish again.
Zhao Chengyan didn't resist taking her to the Taiji Hall at all, and he wasn't afraid that she would say the wrong thing, what was there horizontally and vertically, and he was also carrying it, and Emperor Zhaoning would not punish Zhao Ying for others.
But the little girl hid it like this, and he sighed with a smack of his tongue: "Then you get up early tomorrow, and I will take you into the hall." โ
He saw the smile on the little girl's face again, and after hesitating all night, the words that almost came to his lips were swallowed back.
Finally, a smile bloomed on her face, this matter will pass, whether she intentionally forced Zhao Wan to drink that glass of wine or not, it doesn't matter anymore.
It's good that people don't offend me, I don't offend people.
Zhao Chengyan retracted his gaze, and there was an imperceptible smile hidden in the corner of his eye.
ยท
The next day, Zhao Ying really got up very early.
The little palace ladies rushed in with a copper basin, and after waiting for her to wash and change clothes, she carried her skirt and rushed to Zhao Chengyan's courtyard almost all the way to wait, for fear that he would regret it after a night.
It was Zhao Chengyan who came out of the Moon Cave Gate, turned to the left-hand side, and saw Zhao Ying, who was dressed in palace clothes and dignified and luxurious, under the bamboo forest.
"You didn't have breakfast?"
Zhao Ying approached him with a smile and a flattering face: "Don't worry, it's the same to eat when you come back from the next court, Uncle Huang, let's go quickly, right?" โ
Zhao Chengyan put his hands behind his back and stood still: "Are you afraid that I won't take you there?" โ
Her smile froze, and turned into a sneer, a little embarrassed: "Uncle Huang is a gentleman, he is full of words, how can he regret it if he agrees!" โ
He walked forward without saying a word, and she obediently followed him.
The carriage is still the same carriage, and all the pastries prepared last night in the wooden drawer have been removed, Zhao Chengyan was afraid that she would be hungry, so she opened the second compartment and took the round fragrant pears from it: "It's all fresh, eat one to cushion your stomach, don't faint from hunger." โ
Zhao Ying was pleasantly surprised, and suddenly found that the carriage was moving extremely slowly, so she sighed, curiously lifted the soft curtain on the side, and poked out half of her head from the small window, and sure enough, the wheel rolled very slowly.
She sat up straight: "Why are you walking so slowly?" โ
Zhao Chengyan glanced at her: "I'll take you to the palace, go and wait so early for Shen Dianchen and them to scold you away?" โ
Zhao Yingcai took a bite of the pear and was dumbfounded: "Even if I have no power and power, I am still a princess, and they dare to scold me?" โ
"Why don't you try?" He patted the carriage and called out to the long pavilion.
Zhao Ying immediately felt that the carriage was getting faster, and her expression quickly became flattering: "Don't, they are really looking for trouble for me, don't they have to trouble Uncle Huang to settle it for me, let's go slowly, it's good to walk slowly." โ
