Chapter 223: Her Strategy
Tonight, the king is also a guest of this Hou Mansion, anyway, the wine is enough, and the rest, of course, is a guest and a host. Chu Yi said in a faint voice.
"It's good, it's wonderful."
Xiao Jingzheng laughed: "It's rare that we can get together, let's go, let's simply go to Muhua Garden to enjoy the moon and drink, if you don't get drunk, you won't return." ”
As he spoke, he waved his hand, commanded his subordinates twice, and led the three of them to enter the door from the front yard of the Chengenhou Mansion and walked towards the corner gate that was connected to Muhua Garden.
As we all know, the Cheng'en Mansion and the Cheng'en Hou Mansion are separated by a Muhua Garden.
The inside of Muhua Garden is divided into a front yard and a back yard.
It's just that the front and back yards of ordinary mansions are separated by hanging flower doors.
The Muhua Garden is separated by a very extensive artificial lake, the Mirror Lake.
The prince of Cheng'en Hou led everyone into Muhua Garden and went straight to the water pavilion near the lake in the front yard.
The open water pavilions on all sides are brightly lit because of their arrival.
The servants and maids had already spread the table full of delicate wine and food, and stood solemnly with their hands down, just waiting for the nobles to enter the table.
When everyone entered the water pavilion, Xiao Jingzheng waved his hand to retreat the servants and maids.
This will be the man in the cloak, the head.
The man did not refuse, took off the curtain of his cloak, and revealed his true face.
Under the bright candlelight, he and King Yi stood side by side, although the two looked similar to each other, but they had completely different temperaments.
Compared with Chu Yi's profound and cold facial features, the man had a lot less resolute killing aura and more gentle temperament.
Especially his eyes, not like Chu Yi is Ruifeng eyes, but more like the Xiao family, they are slightly warm and stable, bright round eyes.
"Prince."
"Brother Huang."
Everyone, including Chu Yi, saluted the man in unison.
This person is none other than Chu Yi's eldest brother, the crown prince of the dynasty - Chu Xin.
Chu Xin helped everyone up, and said with a warm smile: "Today, the palace is here just to have a small gathering with my uncle and younger brothers, so you don't have to be polite." ”
After saying this, he took the lead in sitting down at the top, and when everyone was seated, he looked at Chu Yi and asked with concern: "Fourth brother, these days my father is sick in bed, and the official affairs of the previous dynasty are piled up on my brother, so that every time our brothers meet, they only hurriedly reveal a few words, and I don't have time to ask how my body is?" Has the errand assigned by my father have been completed? ”
Chu Yi poured him a glass of wine, the corners of his lips were hooked, and a smile appeared in his eyes: "Brother Lao, my body is fine." As for errands...... Today we are here to visit my uncle, reminisce about the old days and eat wine, why bother talking about business to sweep everyone's interest, brother taste the wine I brought back from Yunjiang, this wine is extremely rare, every five years only these few jars, there is a different taste. ”
Hearing him say this, Chu Xin picked up the cup, put it to his lips and took two sips, and praised it without changing his face: "It's really a good wine." ”
Chu Yi looked at him, his phoenix eyes condensed slightly.
In just a moment, Chu Yi lowered his eyes slightly, stood up, and poured the wine into his uncle Xiao Jingzheng's cup with his own hands.
"Uncle also tastes it to see how it is different from the wine in our capital."
Xiao Jingzheng brought the best things in the cup, and when he saw that the prince said yes, he was naturally whetted by his appetite.
"Well, well, since this wine has been found to me, it is naturally extraordinary, let me taste it."
As he spoke, Xiao Jingzheng picked up the cup and took a sip-
However, as soon as the wine entered his throat, his face immediately changed to pork liver.
Even though he had tasted countless wines, it was the first time he had encountered such a spirit, and it was so spicy that he burst into tears, and he slapped his hand on the table for a long time and couldn't speak.
Seeing this, Chu Zhan's peach blossom eyes flickered slightly, and he laughed casually and teased: "Uncle Guo, this is a private brew in Yunjiang, famous for its strong characters, you should learn from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to drink it, if you drink it like this, the speed of this wine making is not comparable to the speed of eating wine." ”
Xiao Jingzheng was so spicy by the liquor that he naturally didn't want to admit defeat: "Wait, I don't have much here, just a lot of wine, I don't believe it, I can't find a place today." ”
As he spoke, he beckoned his servants to bring all the good wines in his cellar into the water pavilion.
This time, no one, including the crown prince, let go, rolled up his sleeves and fought with the three young men.
*
At the same time, on the other side of the mirror lake in Muhua Garden.
In the pavilion that is far from the inner house of the public mansion and connected to the corner gate of Muhua Garden.
Xiao Qingxue, who was dressed in plain clothes, walked around nervously, and kept looking in the direction of the mansion.
"County, county lord, can this work?" She asked worriedly.
Not only her, but even the Yunling County Lord sitting on the stone chair was also sitting on pins and needles.
"Yes, whether this will work or not, be careful to steal chickens and rice, we will lose more than we gain."
Shen Shu was wearing a maid's suit, her wrist was raised near the water, hanging in her hand in the air, and she was holding a plain white silk handkerchief.
Her eyes drooped slightly, looking at the silk handkerchief blown by the night wind, and said in a tense voice: "It's okay or not, you always have to try it to know." My third brother said that you must do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, I originally wanted to follow a safe path, but I was afraid that Qingxue's lifespan would not wait for that time, so it was better to gamble like this. ”
The Lord of Yunling knew best how adventurous her method was.
Her eyes widened: "So...... Actually, I'm not sure? Oh my God, what if something happens to Fei Yu......"
This is not finished yet-
Suddenly, I saw a tall figure in a maid's suit, neatly out of the half-open corner door of the mansion.
The person who came was Fei Yu, who disguised himself as a woman in the afternoon and mixed into the mansion with them.
"County Lord, as you expected, there are no secret guards guarding inside." Fei Yu said excitedly.
When Lord Yunling and Xiao Qingxue heard this, their eyes were extremely bright, and they immediately stood up straight excitedly.
Shen Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now, she heard from Chang's mother about the structure of the two mansions and the rules of the mansion after nightfall, so she speculated that the secret guards sent by the Queen Mother would not go to guard the inner courtyard.
If you want to blame the princess mansion for covering too much land, even if the queen mother attaches importance to the mansion again, if you want to use the secret guards of the Ouchi to protect the entire mansion secretly, you have to transfer most of the secret guards of the imperial city out.
Therefore, those secret guards must have a focus.
Now it is the late spring season, and the weather in the capital is warmer and hotter.
Therefore, the two governments did not prohibit female dependents from entering and leaving Muhua Garden at night to enjoy the cool and moon.
This also proves from the side that there are no secret guards guarding the back house.
After all, the secret guard is not a father-in-law, and he always has to be isolated from his female dependents to be safe.
Now Fei Yu has disguised himself as a maid and infiltrated the inner house, with his skills, there is no secret guard in the inner house, that is like entering a no-man's land.
Thinking so, Shen Shu ordered to Fei Yu: "Give two cups of tea time, and arrest those three servants, together with Xiao Qingchu, for me, the sooner the better, today, we will use the way of others to govern their bodies, and see how the Chengen Mansion can solve this situation!" ”
