Chapter 29: Captivity
Today's emperor, although he is in his sixties, his heirs are not prosperous.
In addition to the prince who has not yet reached adulthood, there are only two who have reached adulthood and are desirable to the people, and both of them were born to the queen.
The eldest prince Yuncong, because of his status as the eldest son, was very much loved by the emperor, and this marriage can be seen.
The second prince, Yun Yan, is talented and is also the object of courtiers, but he is not liked by the emperor because his personality is too feminine.
It is worth mentioning that the daughter of Yihe Guifei, Princess Yunxi, has been familiar with military books since she was a child, and prefers to dance with swords and swords, and once accompanied her uncle General Zhenguo to meet the enemy. It is rumored by the outside world that his heart is on the throne.
After some introduction, I have a general understanding.
"What is the queen's attitude?" Jiang Xiaoli asked.
"Although the queen doesn't like Miss Zhao, she has always just ignored it, and yesterday she told her to be careful, and wait for the emperor's birthday to make plans." Liu Yu reported it truthfully.
"What about Zhao Wu's family?" She has been under house arrest, isn't her family worried?
"Don't hide it from the girl, Zhao Wu is a foreigner, and her parents are dead, and her relatives have an elder brother, who is a guest of His Royal Highness the Prince."
Jiang Xiaoli couldn't help but look at Zhao Wu differently, with neither family support nor help from relatives and friends, she dared to fight to the death, if it wasn't for the women's middle school, then it would be ......
Someone has your back!
After a general understanding, there is a judgment in my heart, and it needs to be examined.
"You are familiar with the palace, send some people to keep an eye on the movements of the second prince and the princess, and report any abnormalities." Jiang Xiaohua said as he walked out.
"Yes!" Liu Yu immediately gave an order, and some guards went out immediately.
After that, he helped the eldest prince into the carriage and went all the way to the root of the imperial city.
Here, Jiang Xiaoli was not idle, he walked out of the small courtyard, all the way to the north, came to a secluded alley, and sat incognito on a crooked neck tree.
It didn't take long for a horse-drawn carriage to slowly drive out of the diagonal wall, and three old words were written on the lintel, and the shadow was misty.
The car passed under the trees, unhurriedly out of the alley, and headed northwest.
Jiang Xiaoli followed from a distance.
The carriage traveled through a section of willow road, and then went directly into a three-in, three-out courtyard.
Those who live in this kind of courtyard are either large families or official eunuchs.
Hey, isn't this Nafu? I've been here before.
The carriage stopped in the courtyard at the gate, and a man with a square face and a beard got out of the carriage, which was none other than Zhu Mian, the master of the Shadow Pavilion.
A person who looks like a subordinate person leads Zhu Mian into the courtyard in the middle of the second gate.
Sure enough, it reads "Nafu" on the gate. What is Zhu Mian doing here?
Don't you know if you look at it?
While thinking about it, there was already laughter and conversation inside.
"Congratulations!" It was the voice of Zhu Mian.
"Rejoice and rejoice!" Another old man came to him, with gray hair and strong spirits, in the Najing language.
This family, Jiang Xiaoli has investigated before: Najing Hubu Shilang, and his wife Zhan, three children, the eldest son Na Alcohol, the youngest daughter Na Xiang, and the second son Na Qi.
That's right, the second son's body is being used by Qiu Que.
"Inside, please." While talking, the two of them had already entered the room.
Jiang Xiaohua quietly stood under the rain corridor outside the window, heard the conversation between the two, and knew a rough idea.
The Beijing language, promoted, from the original Hubu Shilang, is the fourth product, and jumps to the Hubu Shangshu, which is the first product.
It seems that the predecessor of this official position is Wang Zimo, but now, it is the one in the house who has picked up the leak.
Zhu Mian came to congratulate in advance, and the familiarity of the two seems to be very unusual, otherwise they would not have made such a high-profile move before they were officially inaugurated.
"He's alright?" After some pleasantries, Najing asked.
Zhu Mian took a sip of wine and nodded: "Very good, the Shadow Pavilion relies on him to have today's situation." ”
"Good! Good! There was a lot of relief in the tone of the Jing language, and a little bit of sadness.
"He" should refer to Qiu Que.
Jiang Xiaoli couldn't help but prick up his ears, but the two of them didn't say anything else, only pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and said something ordinary.
It's boring! Just as he was about to leave, two people came from the rain corridor opposite, and the delicate and lovely one in front was the one who met Jiang Xiaohua.
One person in the back...... Not good! Jiang Xiaoli hurriedly hid back!
Behind him was a man, a head taller, with black hair tied up in a crown, red lips and white teeth, like Qiu Que?
"Yes, Uncle Zhu!"
"Yes, Uncle Zhu!"
Zhu Mian smiled and returned the salute to the two, and stayed on the man for a long time: "These two brothers are too similar!" ”
Najing nodded and didn't say anything.
Grass! There was a false alarm, the two were indeed very similar, and even Jiang Xiaoli couldn't tell the difference.
Na Xiang took two steps forward and handed over a package: "Uncle Zhu, the winter clothes sewn by my mother have been prepared before the winter, but my father is not allowed to visit the second brother, you see, the winter is going to be exhausted, please bring it to the second brother." ”
Zhu Mian glanced at the old friend next to him and took the package: "It's like this every year, your second brother is indeed busy, I took him to thank Lingtang." ”
Na Xiang pouted and was not very satisfied: "I have to say the same thing every year," Uncle Lao told the second brother that his mother missed him very much, and if he had free time, he should remember to go home to visit. ’”
"Good!" Zhu Mian just nodded and said no more.
Looking at it like this, Na Jing Yu is in the know, and Na Xiang doesn't seem to know that this 'second brother' is no longer the same person.
Then it was a boring homely routine, Jiang Xiaoli yawned again and again, and today was really a trip for nothing.
When the three fathers and sons sent Zhu Mian out of the courtyard, it was already night,
Jiang Xiaoli followed behind him from a distance, but he was deeply attracted by the mellowness, how good it is, not only handsome and elegant, but also humble and humble, than that...... Too much stronger.
After Zhu Mian's carriage left, Na Rong walked to his father's side.
"Something to say?" The Father asked.
That mellow respectfully: "My father is an official in the court, and Uncle Zhu is a living in the rivers and lakes, although the second brother is ......"
"I understand," the father nodded, "you are persuading your father to associate with him so as not to fall into a tongue, right?" ”
Naol nodded, and said no more.
Jiang Xiaoli also nodded, he was an understanding person, and he couldn't help but take a look at the man who was as bright as the moon.
All the way back, the speed is faster. After a short time, he caught up with Zhu Mian's carriage.
It's strange, Zhu Mian's car is parked on the side of the road, and people are also on the side of the road, as if they are waiting for someone?
Zhu Mian put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky: "Follow me all the way, can you gain anything?"
Wipe! Who is this talking to? I? Looking around, there is really no one else.
This old man of the Shadow Pavilion is a little capable.
Jiang Xiaoli didn't hide anymore, he appeared directly and stood ten steps away!
When he saw the other party's face clearly, Zhu Mian was slightly stunned, but quickly returned to normal: "You are the one who blackmailed the eldest prince's money?" ”
"It's not a loss, it's the master of the Shadow Pavilion, you have a vision!"
"Hehe, the old man has been scolded by the prince for you."
Jiang Xiaoli shook his head but didn't admit it: "That's because your subordinates are incompetent, how can you blame me?" ”
Zhu Mian nodded: "Qiu Que has always been indifferent, my Shadow Pavilion does lack a girl who is as careful as a hair, vigorous and resolute person, how about coming to Shadow Pavilion?" ”
Jiang Xiaohua raised his eyebrows: "No, I have always been free and casual, and I am afraid that the Shadow Pavilion and I have no fate." ”
"Oh, it's a good refusal, refreshing!"
"With smart people, you don't have to beat around the bush!"
"A few days ago, Princess Yunxi came to my Shadow Pavilion, I think the girl should be interested."
It's not just interested, it's very interested.
This old man is interesting, how can he take the initiative to expose his own news?
"You must be wondering, why did I take the initiative to tell you this?"
Jiang Xiaoli smiled silently and waited for the following.
Zhu Mian looked over: "If you want to be admitted to the Shadow Pavilion, you naturally have to be sincere, right?" ”
"What to do? I'm definitely not going to go to the Shadow Pavilion, but I've heard the words, and I haven't gone back yet? Jiang Xiaoli imitated the posture of looking at the moon with his back hand, as if he was extremely distressed.
"Let's just say hello! The girl naturally has no interest in the Shadow Pavilion, you should be most interested in yourself, and this is precisely the director of the Shadow Pavilion. ”
After speaking, Zhu Mian got into the car and went away.
Jiang Xiaoli was stunned, that's right, she is always most interested in herself!
