Jiang Banxia didn't take the polite words to her face, she found a slightly more comfortable posture and leaned back on the chair to close her eyes and recuperate.

As soon as she entered Beijing, she was stopped by Cao Alcohol's people, too many things happened in Jiangnan, Cao Alcohol must interrogate her, the situation above the court is unknown, and now everyone is hanging in the air, and when the dust has not settled, they dare not take it lightly.

So did she.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, it rarely snowed heavily in Kyoto, the snow was white and translucent, and the drowsy twilight was like a faded piece of raw silk, and the people who watched it were upset.

"Hiss~ I'm freezing to death." The little eunuch rubbed his hands and said white breath in his mouth: "This ghost weather, it doesn't go down during the day and it goes down at night, and I can't get along with it sincerely, this year is really unlucky, in my opinion, people will die before the year." ”

"Shh The little eunuch who was walking in the middle of the road with him shrugged his shoulders and hit: "Don't die if you say frustrating words in the palace!" ”

"Hey, I'm just talking about it casually, and besides, it's so late, the nobles in the palace are all staying in the palace, and no one will come out in the snow."

The two of them hugged each other tightly, leaned on each other to keep warm, buried their heads and walked forward in the dark, no one looked at the road, the road in the palace walked every day, and they were not afraid of going to the wrong place.

Suddenly, there was a shadow under his feet, and the little eunuch who said frustrated words froze in place, his body froze, and his head froze.

He looked in the faint light, and saw that the shoulders of the Admiral of the East Factory were facing them!

The four eunuchs who were as strong as the iron tower were like ghosts and ghosts, they carried Cao Alcohol's shoulders and stood silently in the snow, and in a blink of an eye, the lanterns on both sides of the road were depicted with the words "Dongchang" and "Admiral", and the fiery red characters were reflected in the snow as if they were burning.

"Governor... Lord!" The little eunuch who was facing him was almost gone, and he knelt and kowtowed to Cao Alcohol's shoulder without raising his head.

If you want to talk about who is most afraid in the palace, the little eunuchs must choose Cao Alcohol, Cao Alcohol is the commander of the East Factory and is in charge of the inner study hall, and it is indispensable to blame and scold if he is not good at reading.

How did they know that Lord Cao was still in the palace at this hour! If they knew that they wouldn't have passed here, they even let them run into it!

Their heads were so cold in the snow that they stiffened, and before they heard the sound, they didn't dare to stop, and the sound of accusations and kowtows echoed between the palace walls.

"Alright." Cao Yu, who was sitting on his shoulder, spoke: "Blocking our family's way, blocking the addiction?"

"Small... Can't. The two moved their knees and knelt on the side of the road, giving way to the road.

Cao Yu was wrapped in a cloak and wore a hood, and his whole face was shrunk in a velvet collar, no one could see his expression clearly, and no one could guess his mood at this time.

"Remember, those who can't control their mouths in this palace will suffer, you just kneel here, when to wait for the snow to stop, and when to leave." Cao Alcohol's words were fluttering, like a feather.

Unfortunately, when it fell, it was a big mountain.

*

After several days of hurrying, Jiang Banxia was sleepy, even if she was sitting, she had slept several times, her eyes were squinted, her half-asleep face had a somewhat relaxed expression, and a flush appeared on her cheeks, it was so warm here, and the frozen bones were itchy, she couldn't help but stretch her waist and yawn big.

Get some spirit.

She propped her head and poured half a cup of tea into the cup in her hand, and the cold tea made her shiver, and she fell asleep and followed most of it.

"What time is it?" Jiang Banxia asked lazily.

"It's just dark, and it's still early." Jiao Da thought that Jiang Banxia was impatient, so he hurriedly replied: "If you are tired, take a nap, and I will wake you up when my godfather arrives?" ”

Jiang Banxia waved her hand, although she was tired, she would not sleep peacefully in the planting place, and she would wait until she was done dealing with Cao Alcohol. Qi Yan reads

Jiao Da saw that she was sitting bored, so he found some topics to talk about, so as not to wait in a hurry, Jiang Banxia spoke with less words and fewer mistakes, so most of the time Jiao Da was talking, she was listening.

"On the day of the eldest prince's wedding, the whole street was lit up, and when you look at it from the city wall, you know that ten miles of red makeup is not a joke."

Jiao Da is talking about the grand occasion when the eldest prince got married, according to the ancestral system, the prince's adult wedding means leaving Kyoto to go to his fiefdom, but Emperor Qingwen's attitude is very strange, he does not mention where to seal the eldest prince, everything in the palace is still in accordance with the previous rules.

"The eldest prince is still in Kyoto, and he still goes to the court every day to discuss matters, and the palace... Let's say the next one..."Jiao Da pointed to the sky and said meaningfully: "It will be him." ”

Jiang Banxia rubbed the cup in her hand, and she asked, "Where is the prince?" ”

There is also the prince in front of him, Emperor Qingwen will not be stupid enough to pass the crown prince and pass the position to the eldest prince, although the people's hearts may be biased, but there is one thing irresistible - he is not more respectful and humble.

Although this is one of Jiang Banxia's most hated arguments.

Jiao Da frowned his face, revealing an expression that could not be said: "The prince is young, although there is an eldest princess behind him, but he is just a child after all, don't tell you, the palace is not optimistic about him." ”

She had seen the prince, a fragile and face-saving child, but she had only seen it once, and she felt that the child was like a lone wolf, lurking coldly.

Jiang Banxia rubbed the cup in her hand, she was more curious about the eldest princess than who was the emperor, many of the mines she started this time were in the name of the eldest princess, according to the character of the eldest princess, she had already offended people

Dealing with possible enemies, Jiang Banxia asked with the attitude of knowing oneself and knowing oneself and the other: "Can you tell me about the eldest princess?" ”

Jiao Da was surprised, this Senior Brother Jiang actually wanted to listen to the eldest princess?

"Inconvenient to speak?" Jiang Banxia tilted his head and asked.

"No, no." Jiao Da hurriedly waved his hand, isn't the matter of the eldest princess just those two or three, there is nothing good to hear, if you want to talk about it, it is all peachy rumors.

"I heard that the eldest princess had a sweetheart before she got married." Jiao Da gossiped.

These marginal gossip, the adults disdain to listen to it, and the little people talk about it, he came up from the bottom, and the strange secrets in the court can be understood.

"Senior Brother Jiang, guess who the eldest princess's former sweetheart is?" Jiao Da smiled mysteriously: "The more unbelievable the guess, the better." ”

Jiang Banxia thought about it seriously, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he tilted his head: "Unbelievable? Could it be... Godfather? ”

"Poof." Jiao Da held the cup, and the tea in his mouth couldn't help but squirt out.

"You are too unbelievable, the eldest princess is the same age as today, at that time..."

Jiang Banxia smiled slightly to hide her embarrassment and said, "You don't want to sell it, just say it." ”

"According to the story circulating in the palace, there are two sweethearts of the eldest princess." Jiao Da shook his fingers: "This first place has become a taboo in the DPRK and China, and the second place is almost a taboo." ”

"How?" Jiang Banxia came to be interested.

Jiao Da suddenly leaned forward and lowered his voice: "Do you know what happened in Qingwen's second year?" ”

There are too many things that happened in the second year of Qingwen, but all of them are better than that one.

'Pang Zhong case', Jiang Banxia wrote these three words on the table with his fingers dipped in water.

Jiao Da's lowered voice revealed a hint of excitement: "The mastermind of this case is the eldest princess's sweetheart!" ”
