The door of the study was closed again, and Xiao Mingche and Zhan Kaiyang sat across the table again.

The two of them looked different, but they both stared at the letter on the table.

It was Li Fengming's second letter to Xiao Mingche.

Mr. Hsiao received the letter in early March.

At that time, he thought that the content of the letter was probably similar to the first letter Li Fengming wrote to him, and eighty percent of it was a recipe or empty greeting without words.

So he didn't dismantle it at all, and casually clipped it into the war book.

When he returned to Beijing from the south, the book was in his luggage.

But as soon as he came back, he was sent by Emperor Qi to Dicui Mountain to "reflect", and the luggage was left in the mansion and placed by the steward Uncle Jiang himself.

Uncle Jiang has always been safe and thoughtful, and when he found the unopened letter in the military book, he put it in a conspicuous place on the desk so that Xiao Mingche could read it again when he came back from the palace.

As soon as Xiao Mingche returned to the house today, Zhan Kaiyang, who was a retainer of the Huaiwang Mansion, came to ask for a meeting.

After entering the study with Zhan Kaiyang, Xiao Mingche saw this letter again, thinking about what Li Fengming wanted, and it didn't hurt to take a look.

I didn't know it, but I was stunned on the spot.

Seeing this, Zhan Kaiyang had the courage to ask him if he wanted to come to this letter, and he was also stunned.

Therefore, it was not for nothing that Fang Kaiyang pulled the words on Li Fengming.

When Li Fengming came to the North Courtyard, he and Xiao Mingche were digesting the shock of the letter.

Zhan Kaiyang broke the silence in the study.

"This letter was delivered to the official post of Jianchun Town, which should be between the third and sixth days of the first month of March."

On the third day of the first month of March, Xiao Mingche and Lian Zhen went to the Luoshan camp to supervise the change of guards; On the seventh day of the first month of March, Xiao Mingche received this letter as soon as he saw the Spring Official Post.

"According to Feiyi's footsteps, it only takes six days for the letter to travel from Mulan Town to Jianchun Town," Zhan Kaiyang tapped the table with his index finger, "This means that the princess knew at the end of February that someone in Beijing would attack General Lian." ”

Zhan Kaiyang has been in Beijing, always paying attention to the movements of the court, and even sending people to the palace gate every day to copy the news released by the imperial court in a timely manner.

But it wasn't until Xiao Mingche was sent by Emperor Qi to be grounded in the palace that he knew that King Heng's faction was looking for Lian Zhen's stubble.

On the other hand, Li Fengming has been in the Dicui Mountain Palace for half a year, and in addition to the Empress Dowager, he can see at most the noblewomen and noblewomen from all families in Beijing who go to the palace to visit.

In this way, she actually knew that Lian Zhen would be in trouble as early as the end of February, and she might implicate Xiao Mingche!

With such an incredible comparison, Zhan Kaiyang was of course shocked to the point that his soul left his body.

Xiao Mingche was also shocked, but his shock was not quite the same as Zhan Kaiyang's.

At the beginning of last month, on the day he was sent to the palace for reflection by the Holy Decree, Li Fengming learned that he had not read the letter, and he was so angry that he moved with him in the study of Changfeng Garden.

At the time, she only said that she had warned in the letter that "Lian Zhen may be in trouble."

Xiao Mingche's face was cold, "But she didn't say it, and there was a solution attached to the letter." ”

"Looking back now, if you deal with it according to the princess's method, you can indeed get out of the way."

Zhan Kaiyang picked up the letter again, and smiled bitterly with shame.

[There were generals in ancient Dongxia and fought in the south of the country.

Emperor Zizhong said that he would be outside for a long time, and his clan was also powerful, and the military account might have drawbacks. The imperial court should be coerced by the power of thunder, and the first attack is uprooted, so as to prevent future troubles.

The emperor said that this will be loyal and brave, and his clan is the pillar of the court, and he should be reciprocated. I am willing to make a guarantee, check it carefully first, and then hand it over to the emperor.

The emperor said that Emperor Ziji was supervising the army in the south and recalled to Beijing to answer.

The emperor is undoubtedly the heart of the general, and there is no intention to pull out his clan. The matter has nothing to do with the emperor's son Ji Ben, and the emperor summoned Ji to return to Beijing to answer, only to fight for Pingbo and Zhong.

Ji needs to protect himself, and first emphasizes military merit and hard work; secondly, it is attached to the proposal of the uncle, and strives to protect the southern general; Then ask the emperor to lead his henchmen to the south to thoroughly investigate the military accounts.

The emperor will not allow him to ask for his life, and the emperor will also hinder him, so don't worry. 】

In the eyes of the people of Qi, Li Fengming's words are both rigid and soft, and wanton, which really does not seem to come from the hands of women.

And the words in this letter are seven inches, which can be described as a penetrating fire, and the insight and change are not inferior to men.

Perhaps because she was afraid of variables along the way, she not only used obscure ancient sayings, but also metaphors throughout her writing.

It is necessary to know that in today's Qi country, there are at most four literate people out of ten. And among these four people, at most, only one is truly "well-informed".

It is not literate to be able to read through and truly understand her obscure letter; It is not possible to read through it, and it will quickly associate it with the current reality.

Li Fengming is accurate, Xiao Mingche, as the emperor's heir, no matter how poor he is, his education level is much higher than that of ordinary people, and because of his interests, he will definitely be able to understand the metaphor.

In the letter, she pointed out that Emperor Qi had no intention of touching Lian Zhen at all, let alone the Lian family, and summoned Xiao Mingche back to Beijing, just to settle the dispute between the crown prince and King Heng on this matter.

She asked Xiao Mingche to emphasize his military exploits and hard work in the south, and then seconded the prince, followed up to increase the guarantee for Lian Zhen, and asked him to lead Emperor Qi's henchmen to the south to check the military accounts.

What's even better is that she seems to be sure of the thoughts of Emperor Qi, the crown prince, and King Heng.

Not only bluntly said that Emperor Qi would not agree to check the military accounts, but also concluded that King Heng would also obstruct it, so that Xiao Mingche boldly asked for his life, and he didn't have to worry about being really sent to investigate Lianzhen.

"Moreover, she pretended to be the 'Ancient Eastern Xia Kingdom', even if someone with ulterior motives got this letter and happened to understand it, she would not be able to fall into the actual handle. I have long heard that women in Wei are not inferior to men, and this time seeing is believing. ”

With this letter alone, Zhan Kaiyang was so convinced that Li Fengming threw himself to the ground.

He peeked at Xiao Mingche and complained. "His Royal Highness deliberately blocked the door, just to prevent his subordinates, and didn't want his subordinates to see the princess's demeanor, right?"

Xiao Mingche frowned coldly, "I'm guarding against her." ”

Zhan Kaiyang thought about it and nodded helplessly, "That's right." ”

Although he had never seen Li Fengming's true face, he still heard some rumors in the past six months.

Some people say that she is better than a peony, filial piety and Roujia in front of the Queen Mother, gentle and decent in dealing with others, and has no conspicuous strengths.

If these rumors are combined with the letter in front of him, Li Fengming is definitely a person who is different from what he seems.

Zhan Kaiyang suddenly realized, and nodded frequently, "I understand, I understand." ”

Xiao Mingche looked at him suspiciously, "What do you know?" ”

Zhan Kaiyang replied, "His Royal Highness has always been the most jealous of this kind of woman, so he can't trust the princess." You blocked the door just to prevent her from knowing that there was a retainer like me in the house. ”

"yes, just in case she knows......"

Xiao Mingche folded the letter thoughtfully, his voice cold and calm, "There is such a stupid strategist and retainer in the mansion. ”

After dinner, Li Fengming, accompanied by Chun Yudai and Xin Wei, walked around the courtyard gate, familiarized himself with the environment in the house, and ate by the way.

Because of the affairs of the workshop, she was in a particularly cheerful mood, and she did not fall asleep after wandering for half an hour.

"Chunyu, there is only the last one left, right? Just use it for me tonight, so that it doesn't have a separate box. ”

Xin Wei smiled and replied, "How safe Chunyu is, can Your Highness still not know?" When you were still eating, she was already hanging in your account for you! ”

"In the afternoon, after His Royal Highness came back from the courtyard of King Huai, he seemed to have fallen into the golden mountain, and the corners of his mouth were almost raised to the tips of his eyebrows. Chun Yudai is half joking, half explaining.

The three of them were talking, laughing, and wandering, and before they knew it, they saw the bright moon on the branches.

Chun Yudai persuaded, "Your Highness, you have to go to the workshop with Uncle Jiang tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, you have to enter the palace with His Royal Highness King Huai to meet Qi." I've been busy for two days in a row, so let's go back early and rest. ”

Before Xiao Mingche asked his wife to be punished in front of Emperor Qi, Emperor Qi asked him to listen to the queen.

The Huai Wangfu has handed the excerpt to the Middle Palace today, and according to the rules, Xiao Mingche and Li Fengming should enter the palace the day after tomorrow.

Xin Wei didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, "After the matter over there is over, His Royal Highness will have to worry about the progress of the workshop, he will have to go to the street to see the shop in person, and he has to bother to find a reliable person for the shopkeeper, and he doesn't know what he will be busy with." ”

"Hey, I'm a toiler everywhere." Li Fengming muttered with a smile, turned his steps and walked back.

"If Your Highness is willing," Xin Wei said with a smile, "you can also stop working so hard." ”

Li Fengming is always very good at moving and changing his camera, as long as he decides what to do, he will try his best to do his best.

It is not difficult for her to learn to be a rich and delicate princess who takes her husband as her sky.

If she is willing to work hard, she will definitely be obedient to Roujia to be more like a Qi girl than a Qi girl, and become a model of a noble lady in Yongjing City.

"That's not good," Li Fengming's lips were crooked, and he said as he walked, "I don't know how many beautiful men in the world are waiting for ......" to meet me.

She swallowed the last four words abruptly and coughed.

Because she saw Xiao Mingche standing at the gate of her courtyard.

Xiao Mingche didn't come alone, and Uncle Jiang, the steward of the house, was also standing beside him.

Li Fengming stood still in front of them, his heart pounding.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to order Chun Yudai and Xin Wei to enter the courtyard, Li Fengming turned his head without a trace and looked at the position where he had just made a big speech.

Hmm, there is a distance of more than ten steps from here, Xiao Mingche shouldn't have heard it...... bar.

After all, she didn't speak out loud either.

But as soon as Xiao Mingche opened his mouth, he broke the luck in her heart, "What beautiful man?" ”

It seems that the side didn't hear it clearly, so it captured the key word "beautiful man".

Li Fengming squeezed out a sweet and sincere smile: "I'm complimenting you with them." You are really the most arrogant and generous beautiful man in the world, there is no one. ”

"You're starting again?" Xiao Mingche was slightly choked, and only said after a while, "In the Qi Kingdom, it is frivolous for a woman to say such a thing to a man. ”

What if a man says that to a woman? Count as a compliment? ”

Xiao Mingche didn't answer, and Uncle Jiang coughed dryly.

Clearly, she guessed right.

Li Fengming was not angry, but cautiously confirmed, "May I ask, in your country, if you are like "Yinghua Baojian", you will go to prison if you appreciate, comment and praise all kinds of beautiful men in an elegant and elegant manner?" ”

Xiao Mingche lowered his eyes and was speechless.

Uncle Jiang replied respectfully, "Back to the princess, although she will not go to prison, her reputation will be hindered." ”

"Yinghua Baojian" originated in the Xia Kingdom, and it was also highly sought after after it was transmitted to the Wei State a few years ago.

This is mainly because Xia and Wei walked ahead of the nations, and the national policy of "equal responsibilities and rights of men and women" has been practiced for nearly a hundred years, and there is no shortage of high-powered women from temples to rivers and lakes.

Don't say that powerful people like to appreciate beauty as a pastime, even ordinary people inevitably have a bit of a desire to pursue beauty, right?

Food, sex, too, this is not something that cannot see the light, it is the same for both men and women.

But Qi, Song, Liang and other countries are still inferior to men, men have "Hundred Flowers" and "Qunfang Tu" to appreciate the beauty of women, but women are not allowed to appreciate men.

Like "Yinghua Baojian", an idle book that is mainly used by women to appreciate beautiful men, even if the more daring women of Qi secretly read it, they will never dare to talk about it.

Li Fengming was not angry, but he didn't want to argue meaninglessly, so he changed his mouth and said, "Your Highness has something to do with me?" ”

Xiao Mingche looked at Uncle Jiang.

Uncle Jiang saluted, "Back to the princess, Her Royal Highness has already settled and rested, but it is difficult to sleep." The old slave heard that he was in the palace before, but thanks to your soothing incense, His Highness was able to sleep. So take the liberty of begging. ”

Li Fengming was surprised: "This is a trivial matter, Uncle Jiang, can you just ask me yourself?" His Royal Highness King Huai came over in person, which was inevitably too grand. ”

Xiao Mingche looked into the distance, indifferent and innocent, "Uncle Jiang is afraid that you won't give it to him because you recognize it." ”

Li Fengming remembered that when he was still in the palace a few days ago, this person was really abnormal at night, turning over and over like a fried fish every now and then.

Now that he's back, there's a lot he needs to rack his brains about. If you don't sleep well for a long time, it's really hard to sleep.

Then he asked pitifully, "Has the doctor been diagnosed?" ”

"No, I'm a doctor of illness." Xiao Mingche's voice was calm and calm.

Li Fengming couldn't hold back and chuckled.

It is not a noble virtue to avoid illness and avoid medical treatment, what is this inexplicable justification?

Uncle Jiang gave her a pleading look and shook his head silently.

She suddenly blessed her soul, and instantly understood why Xiao Mingche was shy about illness and avoiding medical treatment.

Eighty percent was tortured by the imperial doctor instructed by Qian Zhaoyi in the few years he was in the palace.

She smiled and sighed apologetically, "Then the Anshen incense is the last ready-made, and it has already been used in my account." It would not be good if I gave the leftover incense to His Highness again. Besides, if you take it out again at this time, I am afraid that the utility will also be reduced. ”

"What the princess said is extremely true," Uncle Jiang looked at Xiao Mingche with some embarrassment, "Your Highness, what do you see?" ”

Xiao Mingche didn't speak, just looked at Li Fengming.

Seeing that he really looked like he was in need, Li Fengming tilted his head to recall for a moment, clapped his hands and said, "I have a way!" ”

"Huh?" Xiao Ming looked at her intently.

Uncle Jiang also stared at her worriedly, for fear that she would open her mouth and invite Xiao Mingche to sleep together.

Based on Uncle Jiang's understanding of Xiao Mingche, he should have been worried about the Empress Dowager in the palace before, and he didn't want to make extraneous branches.

Now that he has returned to the house, if he wants His Royal Highness to sleep with the princess again, His Royal Highness will not say that he will turn his face. Uncle Jiang said in his heart.

"Jinxin sour jujube tea can also help you sleep! I still have a lot of this! ”

As he spoke, Li Fengming picked up his skirt and strode towards the courtyard.

"Uncle Jiang, you go back with His Highness first, and I will ask Xin Wei to pick it up and send it over."

Uncle Jiang looked at her back as she walked away quickly, relieved and apologetic, and muttered with emotion, "The princess is empathetic, knowing that you don't want to be close to her, you can be so considerate and accommodating, it's really good-tempered." Your Highness, shall we go back first? ”

Xiao Mingche stood in place, raised his eyes to look at the bright moon, and did not say a word or move for a long time.

"Your Highness, do you have something on your mind?" Uncle Jiang was cautiously concerned.

Xiao Mingche retracted his gaze: "No." ”

He just didn't want to drink any gold, xin, sour, jujube, and tea for some reason.
