Chapter Seventy-Five: False Love (1)
"Niangniang, the people of Qingsi Hall don't have Niangniang, the queen of the main palace in their eyes, at all! The scenery is just a maid, and she dares to intercept the minister directly in the palace road! If it weren't for the emperor's instructions, how dare she! ”
Fengxue knelt on the ground and cried.
She has served in the Chengqian Hall for many years, and she has never been so out of shape.
The queen looked at the pair of white jade ruyi held by the maid behind her, her eyes sank, she raised her hand to help Feng Xue up, and said, "You tell this palace everything that happened just now." ”
"Yes!"
Feng Xue staggered to his feet, suppressed the anger in his eyes, and a smile inexplicably curled up at the corner of his mouth.
……
After Shen Yan returned to the Qingsi Palace, he fed the little cutie some pine cones, and then went back to the inner hall to rest. Not long after she lay down, Xiaoxing came in with a food box.
"Emperor Ji, this is someone sent by the city lord of Xu just now, saying that the plum blossoms are bitter and cold, but the plum blossom cake is sweet, and you can also enjoy the flowers and scenery."
At this time, it was obvious that Xu Jin sent someone to make plum blossom cakes after leaving the plum garden.
The food box is delicate and looks like something from Jiangcheng.
"Can you give me a taste?"
Shen Yan got up and sat on the edge of the seat and said.
The food box was opened, Xiao Xing took out the plum blossom cake and put it on the table, and by the way, he made a cup of tea for Shen Yan and put it aside.
The plum blossom cake is pale pink, and five petals are pinched, and another layer is layered on top of the petals. The center is dotted with pale yellow stamens, and the pastry is sprinkled with a thin layer of icing, which looks like fine snow.
As soon as the pastry is taken out, you can smell a faint fragrance of plum blossoms.
"Emperor Ji, how could this Xu City Lord send pastries, does he have any intentions for you?"
Xiao Xing asked curiously, but his wrinkled face was obviously not waiting to see Xu Jin.
She is one of the people led by Wang Huan, so she naturally looks at everything from Wang Huanzhi's perspective.
"Xu Jin is the city lord of Jiangcheng, and he can be regarded as an overlord, how can he have an intention against me? Have you forgotten that attitude he had just in the plum garden? Almost choked me. ”
Shen Yan replied with a smile.
Xu Jin looked at his familiar face, but he didn't show any abnormality at all, which was really powerful. Even since entering Chang'an, he has followed the rules and has not exceeded the rules.
Sometimes, Shen Yan almost wondered if Xu Jin had forgotten about himself......
After getting Shen Yan's answer, Xiao Xing pressed his heart and said, "Emperor Ji has been weird recently, and I always feel that there is no such feeling and tacit understanding between you and Your Highness as before. Now there is another Xu City Lord, Xiaoxing is worried about you. ”
This is the sixth sense of a girl.
"The connection or feeling between two people will change, but I am a person. As long as you believe, I won't change, what I will change is just my perception of one thing. I didn't know the whole picture before, but now I see flowers in the fog. ”
Shen Yan took a bite of the plum blossom cake, which was indeed sweet and greasy.
There is also a sandwich hidden in the small plum blossom cake, which melts on the tip of the tongue after a bite, which is extraordinarily sweet and much more delicious than the dim sum in the dining room.
Her words were in a fog, and Xiao Xing couldn't understand them, but she still smiled and said to Shen Yan: "Emperor Ji's words, Xiao Xing wrote them down." As long as Emperor Ji is Emperor Ji, Xiaoxing will believe in you. ”
"Thank you."
Shen Yan said with a wink and a smile.
It's nice to have someone who believes in you unconditionally, like a traveler who knows that there's always a place to rest.
"Oh, by the way, you go and check, what is the reason why His Majesty summoned Xu Jin in the past few days. His Majesty rarely summons courtiers now, and there must be something special about him. ”
Shen Yan remembered what was going on, and Zhengse instructed Xiaoxing.
Two hours later, Xiaoxing rushed back with enthusiasm and brought back a letter from Wang Huanzhi.
"This is the letter that His Highness just handed in."
As soon as Xiaoxing entered the hall, he hurriedly handed the letter to Shen Yan, but Shen Yan was not in a hurry to open it, put it away and put it aside, but asked Xu Jin about it.
Her behavior made Xiaoxing hesitate a little.
It's rare that Emperor Ji and His Royal Highness really quarreled?
"Your Majesty has often summoned the City Lord of Xu recently, but every time he has retreated from the ministers. However, according to the ministers of the Zichen Palace, His Majesty summoned the City Lord of Xu and the Daoist of Xuanwei several times. Emperor Ji, you say, could it be, on the Tao? ”
Xiao Xing guessed seriously, but Shen Yan shook his head.
At this time, every decision made by the emperor was deliberate, and he had no time to talk about it.
Xu Jin, who entered Chang'an in the New Year's Festival, is the head of the Sanqing Palace, Xuanwei Daochang, is there anything special about these two people who need to be summoned by the emperor at the same time?
Xu Jin, Xuan Wei......
Shen Yan paced in the hall and thought, and even remembered that his eyes fell on the plum blossom cake on the table, and his mind flashed and he was stunned.
How did she not think of it!
There are many sons in the Chang'an family, but only a few meet the requirements of the emperor, among which Cui Min lost his heart because of the biased handling of Prime Minister Bailu.
Xu Jin was born in the Xu family of Huizhou, and he is also a big family. He is the lord of Jiangcheng, and he is an official in Jiangcheng, so even if he becomes a colt, he does not need to be transferred.
Xu Jin is now led by the emperor and has become Concubine Chen's brother, there is this relationship, if his eight characters are compatible with Kang and Emperor Ji, then he is the best candidate.
It can not only keep Xu Yu's wealth and nobility after the emperor's death, but also win over Xu Jin, who is in the money bag, for the use of the royal family.
The emperor's clever move is really amazing!
He has been able to mediate under the influence of the Quartet for many years, and he really has some scheming and ability.
For a while, Shen Yan couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he looked at this plate of plum blossom cakes, not knowing whether to praise the emperor or Xu Jin.
At the same time, Xu Jin and Xuan Wei were summoned, just to combine the eight characters.
Xu Jin knew everything, but he was very calm when facing him in the plum garden, as if he was just a courtier who kept his duty.
"Xu Jin sent a plum blossom cake, I have to return the gift, you help me give him this sword, and besides, I will go out of the palace to relax in a few days to see if he is free to accompany him."
As he spoke, Shen Yan handed Xiao Xing a sword hanging on the wall.
Shen Yan's words almost frightened Xiaoxing, she took the sword in a daze, and said, "Emperor Ji, you, you, you are making an appointment...... Xu City Lord? ”
She looked at Shen Yan with wide eyes and some horror, feeling that things were not good.
"Not really. I'm seducing him. ”
Shen Yan squinted his eyes and said with a smile in a deliberately lengthened tone, but he was so frightened that Xiao Xing's legs and stomach were weak and he sat on the ground.
After a while, Xiaoxing finally stabilized his mind and went out with his sword.
She was the only one left in the hall.
Only then did Shen Yan open Wang Huanzhi's letter, written in black and white, this time it was no longer a digital letter.
The iron pen and silver hook are his handwritten letters.
Wang Huanzhi invited her out of the palace to listen to the music in Changyin Pavilion.
She is now crowned the eldest princess, and it is much easier to enter and exit the palace than in the past.
Changyin Pavilion ......
I heard that the Qingyun girl of Changyin Pavilion played the pipa well, but she was a little interested in listening to it. Thinking of this, Shen Yan smiled a little helplessly, and threw the letter into the palace lamp and burned it.
