Chapter Ninety-Three: Departure
Contains the chapter hall.
Concubine Xie Guifei was lying on the beauty couch on her side, holding a gold jewel inlaid with purple jade in her hand, and was looking absentmindedly, as if she was looking at things and thinking about people, she said: "I heard in this palace that the female chess player named Xie Zheng looks very much like Yanghou, but is it true?" ”
He Nushi, who was standing on the side and waiting, responded and replied: "Hui Niangniang, there is indeed such a thing." ”
Concubine Xie glanced at her sideways, and then asked, "Is it really just that she looks like Yanghou?" ”
He Shaoyan understood the meaning of her words, and only said: "I heard that Your Majesty had previously instructed Imperial Doctor Shi to personally investigate this Xie Qishi, and yesterday, Imperial Doctor returned to Beijing and confirmed her identity to Your Majesty, and there is indeed nothing suspicious." ”
"To ask Your Majesty to send someone to check on her like this, it seems that she really looks like Yanghou," Xie Guifei spoke, playing with Yingluo in her hand, and then said: "This palace wants to see her." ”
"She seems to be sent by His Majesty to the Northern Wei Dynasty, yesterday His Majesty talked to her in Hualin Garden about this matter, and many people heard it at that time, saying that Tuyuhun had violated the realm, and she gave advice to His Majesty, and she wanted to negotiate peace with the Northern Wei Dynasty first, and His Majesty simply sent her and the prince."
After hearing this, Concubine Xie pondered: "Your Majesty would actually send a female generation as an envoy, and really regard her as a marquis?" ”
He Nushi glanced left and right, and then whispered to Concubine Xie Guifei: "The slave maid heard from the people in Zhaoyang Hall that the cousin of King Wuling, the Zhou servant of Shangshu Province, was killed by her design. ”
Zhou Xuyi and Zhang Gou's matter was well known to everyone at the beginning, Xie Guifei kept an eye on the movements of King Wuling, and she had heard about this matter for a long time, but now she heard that the driving force behind the scenes was actually Xie Zheng, she was a little surprised, "It seems that this woman is really different from ordinary people." ”
"However, she is quite close to the prince, before she disguised herself as a man, and the prince also had a habit of breaking sleeves with her."
"Oh?" Concubine Xie was shocked, "There is such a thing?" ”
He Nu Shi shook her head and said: "A while ago, there was a lot of trouble in the city, and for this reason, Your Majesty also confronted the two of them. ”
Concubine Xie put down the Yingluo in her hand and said to herself: "This wind blew all over the inside and outside of the imperial city, but it didn't blow to the palace, it seems that the palace is really closed." ”
He Nushi rolled her eyes and said, "Niangniang! You have been meditating and praying to the Buddha these days, how can you have the leisure to care about these things, the slave and maid heard about these things, and privately thought that it was not important, so they did not dare to disturb your tranquility. ”
"You can speak, it seems that your name, this palace is wrong for you, you shouldn't be called Shaoyan, you should be called Qiaoyan."
He Nu Shi smiled coquettishly, and then coquettishly with Xie Guifei, and said, "Niangniang, don't make fun of the slave maid." ”
Xie Guifei didn't say anything when she saw her like this, she had always loved He Shaoyan, but now she was also full of spoiling, reached out and scraped her nose, and said, "The palace is hungry, you go and tell the small kitchen to prepare some snacks." ”
"Yes, slave and maid will go."
At that time, in the mansion, Xie Zheng was hurriedly packing his bags in the room, Huan Ling stood at the door of the house and looked at her, frowning slightly, sometimes sighing, sometimes sighing, he was annoyed at the moment, and said, "Why did you agree to go to the Northern Wei Dynasty so easily?" ”
"You think I want to go on this trip?" Xie Zheng was also very irritable, she said: "I also refused, but Your Majesty said that this is a holy oracle, so that I have to receive the order, what do you think I can do?" Is it not complimentary? ”
Huan Ling sighed again, "This is going to Pingcheng, the road is far away, I really don't feel at ease, it's better to... You can bring Qionglin with you, let him protect you with Yuzhi, and I will be relieved. ”
When he said this, before Xie Zheng could reply to him, he continued: "Just let me go with you, I will take care of you personally on the way, it is better than the two of them, who are rude." ”
When Xie Zheng heard this, she felt depressed, she walked up to Huan Ling with her bags and asked, "Is the county marquis worried about me, or not worried about the prince?" ”
Huan Ling was speechless, he was naturally not worried about Xiao Zhen.
Xie Zheng whispered: "With Yuzhi staring, the county marquis is still afraid that I will do something out of the ordinary with the prince?" ”
"I didn't mean that, I'm really worried about your safety," Huan Ling was seen through by Xie Zheng, and he was busy explaining, but Xie Zheng didn't allow him to say more, only said: "It's hard to worry about the county marquis, it's enough to have a jade branch with you." ”
She said that, and then went outside the house, Yuzhi followed, and when she passed in front of Huan Ling, the two looked at each other and walked over.
Xiao Zhen's carriage was already waiting outside the mansion, Xie Zheng boarded the carriage, Yuzhi and Yin Luo sat on the seat, Yin Luo drove, and the four of them set off.
When the carriage had left, Huan Ling came out belatedly to see him off, he really intended to do so, seeing that the carriage gradually disappeared from view, he instructed Zeng Qionglin: "Hurry up and pack your luggage and leave early tomorrow morning." ”
Zeng Qionglin was a little embarrassed and asked, "Do you really want to go to the Northern Wei Dynasty?" ”
Huan Ling glanced at him and said, "Naturally, I want to go, the prince is like a wolf and a tiger, if I don't follow, Deyin will be eaten by him sooner or later!" ”
"Yes, let's clean it up," Zeng Qionglin was speechless, so he had to obey.
Xie Zheng and Xiao Zhen sat in the carriage, except for the cold and warmth, the two did not say a few words along the way, until the carriage drove to the eastern suburbs of the city, passing by Qianhu, Xie Zheng lifted the corner of the curtain, and suddenly asked: "In previous years, the first snow of Jiankang was about in what month?" ”
Xiao Xun also followed her gaze, looking at Qianhu through the narrow car window, he thought for a while, and replied: "It's about the winter moon." ”
Winter Moon... It's October now, isn't the winter moon next month?
She is still thinking about the appointment with Gu Xun for the first snow, this trip to Pingcheng, it will take two months to go back and forth, and she will definitely not be able to catch up with this first snow appointment......
Xie Zheng felt frustrated and lowered the curtains.
"Do you want to see the first snow in Jiankang?" Xiao Zhen asked, and Xie Zheng replied perfunctorily: "Not really, I just like snow." ”
Xiao Zhen smiled: "The snow in the south is not good-looking, the snow in the north is good-looking, and the snow in the north comes early. ”
"Your Highness has a point," Xie Zheng also echoed Xiao Zhen and smiled.
Xiao Zhen asked again: "This time to go to the Northern Wei Dynasty, is it better to take the water route or the land route?" ”
Xie Zheng was looking forward to returning to Beijing as soon as possible, and naturally wanted to do it as soon as possible, and when she heard Xiao Zhen ask, she immediately said: "Naturally, I will take the waterway, and the waterway will be faster!" First go to Langya, cross the Guabu River to Guangling, from Guangling to Huaiyin, and then along Surabaya to the northwest, you can reach Gaoping in a few days, and then pass through Xiangzhou and Dingzhou, I believe that within a month, you will rush to Pingcheng. ”
Xiao Zhen looked at her with some surprise, and asked with a smile: "Why are you so clear about geography?" ”
Xie Zheng was stunned for a moment, she is a woman, who knows the Four Books and the Five Classics, which can be interpreted as having read some books, and she is familiar with astronomy and can fool the past, but she is familiar with geography, so it is not easy to say...... She thought about it for a while, and said with a calm smile: "There is an old knowledge that is a person from Pingcheng, he often mentions it to me, and I have heard a lot, so I remember it." ”
Xiao Zhen didn't suspect it, Zuo just asked a little more, he listened, so he went to open the door curtain and shouted: "Yin Luo, go to Langya first, go to Guabujiang." ”
"Yes."
