Chapter VIII

Ling Yueyan helped Li Nannan up: "This trip is not muddy, it's just that your eldest brother-in-law's family is short-sighted, besides, the two of us used to play tricks on each other, and there is no right or wrong when we have dealings, the fundamental reason why I hate you is just because of Brother Ye Zheng." ”

The small box quietly hid in the corner of the second floor, and couldn't help but sneer when she heard this, Miss really had a deep love for the three princes, and in this case, she didn't forget to pinch the peach blossoms of the three princes.

Li Nannan really did as Ling Yueyan thought, and said in a low voice: "I actually don't love the third prince so much, I..."

"Hey! That's it, that's it. Ling Yue Yan said, for fear that Li Nannan would say something but something, and finally drove away another peach blossom, and marrying Brother Ye Zheng was just around the corner.

The two talked for a long time, and Li Nannan was also willing to follow Ling Yueyan to Linya Villa, even if he just lived in the garden halfway up the mountain, it was better than being penniless and homeless, until Xie Ji came in and urged him to hurry, and the two got into the carriage together.

At sunset, they arrived at the foot of Linya Mountain, there is a Buddhist temple under the mountain, the incense is still quite vigorous, there are quite a lot of people coming and going around, they rest under a tea shed, and the young student in Tsing Yi has just come down from the mountain in the morning.

Walked to Xie Ji's side and whispered a few words, gave the key to Xie Ji, nodded and greeted Ling Yueyan from a distance, and then went to the right capital.

Li Nannan didn't talk much along the way, at this time he was preparing to go to the Buddhist temple with the small box to pray, it was almost dark, Ling Yueyan sat in the tea shed and saw a little monk from a distance saying something to the little box, and then they returned and couldn't go in.

Xie Ji walked over and handed the key to Ling Yueyan, glanced at Li Nannan, who had not gone far, and said to Ling Yueyan: "It is still necessary to inform you about Zhinan's scruples. ”

Zhinan is the Tsing Yi Xiaosheng, looking at the conversation between Xie Ji and the Tsing Yi Xiaosheng, the two seem to be very familiar, Ling Yueyan dragged his chin, his eyes stared at the small box walking back and Li Nannan: "Say it." ”

"That garden used to be the place where a certain courtier in the capital of Youjing raised a concubine privately, and the concubine was just killed yesterday, and the murderer was the eldest prince's person." Xie Ji spoke lightly, unable to hear any emotion.

Ling Yueyan glanced at Xie Ji, got up and walked to the small box: "What's the matter, didn't you say that you want to go in and worship the Buddha?" ”

The little box looked unhappy: "The little monk at the door said that there are distinguished guests in the Buddhist temple today, and he won't let us in." ”

"Guest?" Ling Yueyan pondered for a moment and beckoned everyone to set off for the mountain.

Whether it is a distinguished guest in the right capital or other three countries, it is unusual to appear here at this time, and now it is difficult to say who the master of this dynasty is in the country, the eldest prince is so ostentatious and does things, there must be someone behind him, Cao Guifei does not have so much authority, this person is either a noble minister in the court or a person from another country.

But if it is really from another country, will the eldest prince do this, will it ruin the land that Chao Jiaguo has fought so hard to defeat Ling Yueyan sat in the carriage and was a little worried, she was worried about her father, her father was in a dilemma now, even if he was slightly biased, he would leave a handle for future generations.

"Senior Brother Xie." Ling Yueyan shouted softly.

Xie Ji led the horse to the side of the carriage, Li Nannan sat opposite and watched Ling Yueyan all the time, always feeling that Ling Yueyan had become a little strange and sad since he went up the mountain.

The small box ran from behind, holding a box of food in his hand and handed it to the groom, the mountain road was not easy to walk, the groom was sweating, and after walking a little longer, he would reach the garden halfway up the mountain, and then Ling Yueyan would have to hike up the mountain.

Ling Yueyan didn't speak after calling Xie Ji, thinking that she was worried about the garden, so she tapped on the car window: "Miss Ling, don't worry, since Zhinan rented the garden to us, she will definitely take care of everything." ”

"I want to ask, can you deduce the situation in the country today." Ling Yueyan actually didn't plan that Xie Ji could really say anything, after all, the rivers and lakes are different from officialdom, no matter how powerful they are, they always don't understand those world disputes and deceit.

However, Li Nannan took a deep look at Ling Yueyan when he heard this, this question from the mouth of a daughter's family is indeed a bit different, but Li Nannan is not an accident, Ling Yueyan is the daughter of a general after all, she is admired, a daughter who is usually crazy and only fourteen years old, but she seems to have a plan for everything in her heart.

Maybe it was really boring on the road, or maybe it was the faint darkness that set off the atmosphere, Xie Ji really opened his mouth: "The first emperor favored Cao Guifei, and after giving birth to the eldest son, he has always been entrusted with heavy use, I heard that the first emperor died and the first to arrive was also the eldest prince, and there was the fourth prince, a powerful younger brother." ”

Li Nannan heard that there was hatred in the eyes of the eldest prince, Ling Yueyan saw it in his eyes, and said, "You mean to say that the position belongs to the eldest prince." ”

The last rays of the sunset shone over, stretching Xie Ji's shaking of the head for a long time, until it finally disappeared, Xie Ji said in a low voice: "The favorite concubine is just a favorite concubine, compared with the queen, there is not so much real power, the third prince and the second prince are all from the queen, but the third prince has no heart to be on the throne, compared to the tyranny of the eldest prince, the second prince seems to be more suitable for that position." ”

"The queen is usually low-key, and she has never had much contact with any courtier, but Cao Guifei is tightly holding the prime minister and Xiao Fu in her hands." Ling Yue Yan said.

Xie Ji replied: "Xiao Fu is useless, the prime minister is a wavering old fox, if you want to talk about the status of the DPRK and China, General Ling is the person who both sides want to rein in at present." ”

When it comes to the point, it is true, so Ling Yueyan is very worried, and even thinks about how she will decide if this matter is her, but after all, she does not have the realm of her father, so she can't make up her mind.

Xie Ji woke up the dreamer with a word: "If Miss Ling is worried about General Ling, then there is no need, not to mention that Miss Ling has already made a decision for the general, even if General Ling is on the wrong side, judging from the current situation in Chaojiaguo, no one dares to move the general easily." ”

Did she make a choice for her father? Ling Yueyan thought for a moment, and then smiled, yes, as early as when she was eight years old, she showed her determination to like Ye Zhengge to the people in Quanyou Capital, Ye Zhengge was only bent on making trouble in the frontier, and had no heart for the upper position.

However, these two princes deliberately attracted attention in front of the carriage that day, not only in the matter of Li Shangshu, but also in a plan to kill two birds with one stone.

She looked at Li Nannan, Li Nannan also happened to look at her, and smiled, but Ling Yueyan frowned, the matter of the second prince was her conjecture after all, even if it was true, it would be sad to say it, and she still didn't say it in the end.

Suddenly, Ling Yueyan had a flash of inspiration and asked Xie Ji, "How do you know that the third prince does not have the heart to ascend?" Senior Brother Xie is a native of the rivers and lakes, but why does he know so much about the affairs of the court. ”

The shadow outside was obviously stiffened for half a minute, and the carriage stopped at this time, Xie Ji opened the folding fan slightly, and walked forward slowly: "It's here." ”

Ling Yueyan and Li Nannan got out of the carriage, Ling Yueyan followed Xie Ji's back with a pair of searching eyes, speaking of this senior brother is indeed a little not simple, they all say that Linya Villa is extremely low-key, and no one knows the origin of its establishment, but today's senior brother's words made Ling Yueyan find some subtle signs.

The garden is much bigger than Ling Yueyan imagined, and there is also a pond in the garden, it seems that the little concubine who lived here before is very favored, she doesn't mind that there are people dying here, as long as she can live, so Xie Ji said that after the concubine was killed by the eldest prince's people here, she didn't react much, as long as she didn't come to kill her, what could happen.

But this garden gives people a sense of déjà vu, as if...

"Miss, this place is similar to the garden where Mrs. Hanqing picked up Mrs. Hanqing back then!" The little box walked around and came out.

Ling Yueyan nodded, it is indeed very similar, except for the pond, the layout around is extremely similar, her mother once took her and the little box to the dock garden, the little box likes it very much, no wonder it is recognized at a glance.

Li Nannan was a little puzzled, and asked in a low voice: "Picked it up?" ”

This is a well-known thing in Youjing City many years ago, Li Nannan only came to Youjing City with Li Shangshu two or three years ago, and it is normal not to know.

The little box slowly became familiar with Li Nannan, and explained on the side: "Second Miss, you don't know? Mrs. Hanqing was originally picked up by my wife. ”

"When Mrs. was still Miss Taifufu, she went to Zhongling to play, and picked up Mrs. Hanqing in a place called Wuyuan, and after taking it home, Mrs. Hanqing took pity on her helplessness and became Mrs.'s sister, but Mrs. Hanqing didn't know what to do, and she wanted to make a change of marriage back then, if it weren't for Mrs. Clever, the current general's wife wouldn't..."

"Little box, go pack it up." Ling Yueyan interrupted the small box, this is a scandal in the family, although it is something that you all know in the capital, but there is no need to say it repeatedly to people who don't know, my mother is very concerned about this matter and should not mention it again.

The little box stuck out his tongue, and continued: "There is also the name of our young lady, Miss Li Er doesn't know, let me tell you..."

"If you want to talk nonsense again, I'll throw the pig's trotters you smuggled up the mountain into this pool." Ling Yueyan pointed to the pond channel.

The small box obediently took the luggage and took everyone into the house to pack up, Xie Ji also followed in, the sky was already dark, there were probably beasts on the black mountain, he decided to go up the mountain early tomorrow morning and give Ling Yueyan time to explain the matter, after all, on this mountain, there is no year and a half to get out.

"Name?" Li Nannan and Ling Yueyan walked in together, and Li Nannan asked with some curiosity.

Ling Yueyan smiled indifferently: "Mrs. Han Qing's only daughter, who is also my cousin, is named Ling Yan. ”

"I know that Mrs. Hanqing is married to your father's younger brother, but I don't know that I already have a daughter." Li Nannan had also sent someone to check on Ling Yueyan before, but now she felt that these people were really like rice buckets, and she didn't even find out what everyone knew.
