As soon as Zuo Huaci came in, the atmosphere in the Guihuan Hall suddenly became embarrassing, Zuo Changan and Ling Huqingge's faces were a little stiff, and their eyes were very weak, Zuo Changan did not expect his daughter to be outside, so he had to ask hard: "Huaci, do you still remember, when you came back on Chinese New Year's Eve, you went to Wanling Mountain behind the Dragon Temple?" ”

Zuo Huaci nodded, and then listened to Linghu Qingge say: "Then have you ever seen a son next to Houhu, with a slender figure, upright eyebrows, and very calm." ”

Zuo Huaci nodded again, and said bluntly: "Yes, that person, I remember it very clearly, I saw that he was dressed extraordinarily, he should be the son of a rich and noble family, and I also gave him a jade pendant, so that he can go to my collection of flowers and dictionaries in the future, he is not short of money, and I am also good at business." ”

Linghu Qingge and Zuo Changan glanced at each other, feeling that it seemed a little strange.

"This was almost half a year ago, do you remember it so clearly? Just for business? ”

Linghu Qingge glanced at Zuo Huaci suspiciously, and Zuo Huaci said generously: "Naturally, although I have seen many people who have traveled from south to north in the past, but in the end, it is the first time I have seen someone like him with such an extraordinary bearing, especially when he laughs, he is very good-looking." ”

Linghu Qingge's heart sank when he heard this, he remembered it so clearly, it seemed... Things seem to be moving in an "uncontrollable" direction......

Zuo Changan also noticed it, so he had to tell the truth: "Hua Ci, that's the case, you are not too young, and your mother and I are also planning to set your marriage in advance, but we are going to hear what you mean, what about that son, we do know ......"

"Acquaintance? That's naturally good, I've been back for more than a month, and I haven't seen him when I look around, whose son is he? Zuo Huaci's eyes lit up, and he seemed to be very interested, Ling Hu Qingge heard this, I am afraid that he really likes it, but the emperor is indeed a dignified appearance, a talent, if a woman in the world can see it, how can she not be tempted, however, even if the two are happy, but this deep palace ......

Linghu Qingge thought about it over and over again, and still wanted to tell Zuo Huaci the true identity of the emperor, but Zuo Changan pulled Linghu Qingge's shirt under the table, and quietly shook his head, in the evening, Linghu Qingge closed the door and stared at Zuo Chang'an, Zuo Changan looked at the appearance, and explained and asked Zuo Chang'an: "I don't mean anything else, I just think that since Huaci is also interested in the emperor, it is better to leave the rest to the two of them." ”

Linghu Qingge was silent for a moment, she didn't know what to say.

"Tomorrow to retire from the court, I will stay and reveal a few words to the emperor, if the emperor has a heart, he naturally knows what to do next, and he should not be forced to resign."

Linghu Qingge had to sigh and rub his brows: "After thinking about it, I can't escape the fate of marrying the palace after all......"

The next morning, Jiang Moran was a little overjoyed when he saw Zuo Changan coming to the court, but he had heard that yesterday, Zuo Changan handed over the affairs of the Secret Guard Court to Ouyang Yunshu, and it seemed that the heart of retreat had been decided, Jiang Moran thought, while he could see someone now, talk to him about marrying, however, he didn't expect that Zuo Changan was waiting for him outside the Ming Xuantang after retiring from the court.

Jiang Moran was a little surprised, and immediately instructed Kang Lu: "Go and tell the imperial dining room, put breakfast in Mingxuantang, and I will eat with the protector." ”

Zuo Changan didn't refuse, he did have something to say to Jiang Moran.

After breakfast was served, Jiang Moran took the initiative to put a piece of duck porridge in front of Zuo Changan, and asked with concern: "Recently, I haven't seen you come to the court, but is there anything wrong with your body?" ”

Zuo Changan thanked him and said: "Indeed, the minister is a little powerless, maybe he is old, so he shouldn't worry about it." ”

Jiang Moran nodded, but he wanted to ask Zuo Huaci about the situation, but Zuo Changan knew it, and he didn't want to play dumb riddles with Jiang Moran, so he directly mentioned it and said: "Your Majesty, I came back not long before Hua Ci, and I wandered around this Changling City for a few days, and I felt that it was boring, so I was willing to stay at home, and the minister also conveyed ...... to Huaci about the emperor's former intentions."

After Jiang Moran heard this, for some reason, he suddenly became nervous in his heart, and immediately asked, "Then what did she say?" Does he remember me? ”

Zuo Changan nodded and said: "She remembers the emperor, and she recalls it very simply, saying that she has never seen the emperor as an ordinary person, but ...... It's also a minister who is worried, if Hua Ci knows that you are the emperor, perhaps, there will be consideration, Hua Ci has always been unrestrained, free and casual, it is really difficult to adapt to the strict rules of this palace. ”

Jiang Moran suddenly said: "The palace rules are also my final say, it is harmless, if I have any scruples, then I can take my time, meet and meet, have a cup of tea, drink a wine, and when she is at ease with me, everything will fall into place." ”

Zuo Changan listened, and unconsciously sighed a little, he realized that it was not easy for the saint to do this today, in fact, it could be a holy decree to enter the palace, but he was willing to coax it slowly...

After Zuo Changan left, Kang Lu hurriedly came over and handed Jiang Moran a letter, on the letter, it was Ouyang Yunshu's handwriting, on which were written the names of several courtier families, Jiang Moran looked at the names of those families and fell into thought, a few days ago, he instructed Ouyang Yunshu to stare at the people who have changed in the Chaozhong family in recent years, and summarized a list and presented it to him, so that it can be convenient for him to use as a reference in the draft, and some family members are safer under their noses, and Ouyang Yunshu's list today made him a little surprised.

But seeing that there is still more than half a month before the draft, these are not important things, the most important thing is that Zuo Hua has resigned, Jiang Moran is happy in his heart, holding the jade pendant on his waist and smirking twice, and said to Kang Lu: "Change me into a regular clothes, I want to go out of the palace, and I am not allowed to let others know." ”

"But the emperor, you ...... out of the palace alone"

Kang Lu was worried, but Jiang Moran said, "It's okay. ”

Changed into casual clothes, Jiang Moran has already turned into a peerless son, leisurely went to Xilin Street, looked at the revival of the collection of flowers, wanted to hold the jade pendant on his waist, Jiang Moran strode in, only to see the counter door, standing a very aura of a little girl, looked at Jiang Moran glance, only felt that the person in front of him was either rich or expensive, so he immediately came over and said with a smile: "Hey, this son has never been here before, is it going to buy it for his sweetheart, or is it going to be for home?" We have a lot of spices here, and there are a lot of them, all of which are our shopkeeper's own recipes, and they can't be bought outside. ”

Jiang Mo said with a smile: "Indeed, I have heard, is your Luomei Xiang selling here very good?" ”

The little girl nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, the plum fragrance is the best in winter, but now it is summer, and the plum blossoms collected are almost the same, but the newly developed lotus fragrance of the shopkeeper is particularly elegant, it is the taste of lotus and cloves, do you want to try it?" ”

Jiang Moran just nodded, raised his hand and said, "Okay, then give me a copy of all the spices of your exclusive recipe here, and I'll go back and try them." ”

The little girl's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she saw Jiang Moran pushing over a piece of gold and said, "You don't need to look for these first, put the sachet well, and besides, I want to ask if your shopkeeper is in the store today?" ”

The little girl nodded: "Naturally in the store, our young lady went outside to collect spices, and she will come back soon, just in the backyard, is there anything wrong with the son looking for our shopkeeper?" ”

Jiang Moran took out the jade pendant in his hand, handed it to the little girl and said: "This is half a year ago, I was fortunate to meet your shopkeeper, but I can talk, she gave this to me, saying that if I have the opportunity to come here to buy things, you can give me cheaper, but now, I also have to let you make more money, I just want to meet her, I have something to say to him." ”

The little girl listened, accepted the jade pendant, rolled her eyes, and said with a smile: "Then I'll go to the backyard to call someone first, and the son will wait here." ”
