Chapter 374: Embarrassing Things Are Embarrassing People
Hu Yanjin leaned against a big tree, the more he sitted, the colder it became, and he was about to stand up and move, when there was a sound of horses' hooves on the northern road.
He hid behind a tree and looked closely, and it was all a single man and a single horse, and there were no people tied up.
Master, they escaped!
Hu Yanjin breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Xiao Zhong and them open the city gate and enter the city, they slowly walked south around the outside of the city.
As soon as the palace gate opened, Hua Qiao sent Xiao Gao out to inquire, the situation on the senior brother's side last night, and he happened to go out to buy medicine.
"Xiao Qi, close the palace door, King Han should enter the palace to say goodbye."
Who is going to attack him now, Hua Qiao doesn't know, but I heard that there is also the eldest princess An Cheng, who followed King Han into the palace, which will be crowded, and closing the palace door is the best protection for herself.
Over there in Shou'an Palace, King Han and Princess An Changcheng have arrived.
"The Empress Dowager, you are leaving the harem, who else will call the shots!" The eldest princess An Cheng stood in front of the Empress Dowager and only wiped her tears.
Soon after she became emperor of Emperor Yongle, she married Song Hu, the son of the Marquis of Xining, and later, Song Amber's ascension to the title also went smoothly. But last year, he was impeached by Lu Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and behaved disrespectfully during the filial piety ceremony, and was cut down by Emperor Hongxi.
The eldest princess An Cheng was unconvinced, seeing that the new emperor was young, she wanted to rely on her status as an elder to get back the title for her husband, but Zhu Zhanji refused.
This time, when she learned that the imperial brother was going to enter the palace to see the Empress Dowager, she also followed into the palace.
"You kid...... The mourning family has long been unable to be anyone's master. Everyone should live in peace, live a good life, and enjoy the glory of the royal family, so they must do their best for the country. ”
The Empress Dowager blocked her with words, saving her from making any demands on herself.
"But the Empress Dowager, I heard that not long ago, you interceded for the eldest princess Baoying, went to see the emperor in person, and forced the emperor to exempt the eldest princess from the crime.
She was a violation of the laws of the Ming Dynasty witnessed by the ministers, and the crime of the palace was just a word of the minister, and she was convicted by her father, it doesn't matter if he cut the knight, but what about the son of the palace? ”
Speaking of this, An Cheng was still angry.
Zhang Yue, who was standing behind the Empress Dowager, looked coldly at the eldest princess An Cheng, with an old face that couldn't distinguish between right and wrong, he only now felt that it was really wise for his sister to leave the harem and go to the temple.
The Empress Dowager knew that she would talk about buckwheat, and she didn't care about her, so she only said to Zhang Yue:
"You foreign men, it's inconvenient to be in the harem for a long time, so let's go back."
The king of Han also got up and took leave.
Yesterday, he didn't cripple Hu Yanjin, but folded a Wu You, which made him angry, but fortunately, this time the arrangement was meticulous, and he quietly changed a flag person to Yulin Wei.
On the day of the big sacrifice, the success or failure was in these ten Yulin guards guarding the head of Zhengyangmen.
The eldest princess An Cheng was not in a hurry, she persuaded: "This farewell, I don't know what to do when I see you again?" Why don't we have lunch with the Queen Mother before leaving? ”
The lunch in the palace is at the beginning of the hour, and there is still half an hour, and the bowls, chopsticks and spoons should be delivered.
The Empress Dowager didn't want to drive them away, so she turned her head and said, "Xiancao, go and explain to the small kitchen, and prepare the lunch of King Han, the eldest princess, and Lord Zhang." ”
Zhang Yue "chuckled" in her heart, this eldest princess An Cheng has never kissed her sister, and her sister is going to become a monk, what kind of hospitality does she have to offer?
When things go wrong, there must be demons.
Speaking of Chonghua Palace, not far from Shou'an Palace, it is already the northernmost part of the palace.
Shufangzhai is in the east of Chonghua Palace, and their imperial garden and stage are closer. If someone comes in from the Imperial Garden, the people of Sofang Zhai will see it first.
"The eldest princess of Qingdu, is it a little dazzled? Just now I actually saw Aunt Yu from Chonghua Palace, coming in with a man. ”
The eldest princess of Qingdu blushed, rolled her eyes and said, "Nonsense! Is the eunuch who went out on errands back? ”
"I'm not talking nonsense, how can a eunuch hang a pearl?" The palace maid was not convinced, and added.
At this time, Qingdu and Qinghe both jumped up: Is there really such a thing? Aunt Yu is too bold, although there are no concubines in North Point, there are four eldest princesses.
The adult in the cyan court dress followed Aunt Yu into the courtyard of Chonghua Palace.
"Master Lu, please have tea, you are waiting here, and the little one will go to His Highness."
She let the lord into the outer hall and went out herself to cover the door of the temple.
She had just asked Xiao Qi to urge the meal, and asked Can'er to go to the Needlework Bureau to pick up the court clothes worn on the day of the eldest princess's festival.
Originally, there was a Xiao Gao, but today Xiao Gao left the palace early in the morning. Just suitable.
And the eldest princess of Baoying, she had already drunk the tea of the sweat medicine just now, and she should still be lying in the inner hall.
Lord Lu didn't drink sweat medicine.
Aunt Yu waved her hand at the palace gate quietly, and a palace maid waiting outside the door ran away in a hurry.
Aunt Yu raised her hand to straighten the hairpin on her head, and calmly went to the small kitchen.
"Xiao Qi, what's going on? Have you been urging you for a long time? ”
Xiao Qi heard Aunt Yu's voice and turned around and said, "The eggs they steamed are too old, the eldest princess doesn't like to eat them, so they're letting them re-steam them!" ”
After walking around the small kitchen, Xiao Qi finally found this reason, so that he could stay in the kitchen according to the arrangement of the eldest princess.
Finally, all the dishes were ready, and the little palace maid followed them with a tray and returned to the main hall.
They had just seen the palace gate, and a bunch of people came in in a commotion outside the palace.
"They...... They're inside! A palace maid pointed to the doorway of the main hall.
"What kind of system, push the door in!" An Cheng eldest princess said.
Zhang Yue and King Han also followed behind the eldest princess An Cheng.
"See the eldest princess, see His Royal Highness the King of Han! What's going on? ”
Aunt Yu asked in a panic.
"What's going on? Take down this, it's not good to lead the eldest princess to learn well, and you dare to take the ministers to the harem, I think you are impatient! ”
The eldest princess An Cheng entered the main hall as she spoke, Zhang Yue was very anxious, and she was still worried about the buckwheat.
was thinking about how to let his sister help Hua Qiao end up, but when he saw Xiao Qi calming down there, his eyes were rolling, and he had a number in his heart.
An Cheng entered the main hall, but was surprised to see that Hua Qiao was sitting on the main seat drinking tea, and Can'er, Xiao Gao, and the female official Xianshu of Shou'an Palace were standing in front of the seat and talking.
Seeing the eldest princess An Cheng, Hua Qiao hurriedly stood up and laughed: "Why is the eldest princess here?" Why don't you have a biography outside? Bao Ying is also good to go out to greet him. ”
When the King of Han outside the hall heard this, he knew that An Cheng's matter had not been completed, so he sneered and turned to leave.
Zhang Yue was the person called by the Empress Dowager to "take a look", and he was happy to stay and watch the play. Just as he wanted to raise his feet to enter the hall, Xiao Qi stopped him:
"Lord Zhang, you come with the little one, there is someone here, the eldest princess, please help deal with it."
Xiao Qi led him to the ear room next to the main hall, pushed open the door, and a man with a flushed face tied up inside was in a daze.
Zhang Yue raised his face, looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:
"How could it be him?"
