Chapter 141: Saved a white-eyed wolf
As soon as Yi Xiangxiang and his party returned to the dragon boat with their front feet, Lin Cen asked people to narrow the defense range of the dragon boat with their back feet, and no longer mentioned that there was a fee for watching the dragon boat.
So the green-clothed man who was in the Lechuan Teahouse before expressed his helplessness, and secretly sighed that he had really wasted a sum of money.
Because of the enthusiastic response of the people, Yi Xiangxiang was taken by Zhao Ziqian as a monkey on the observation deck and given to everyone to watch.
It wasn't until after nightfall that Yi Xiangxiang finished washing and entered the inner hall that he had the opportunity to talk to Zhao Ziqian.
At this time, Zhao Ziqian was sitting on the treasure chair in the inner hall to review the folds, although it was arranged for the important ministers of the DPRK and China to jointly supervise the country, but some important decisions still had to be made by Zhao Ziqian.
He looked up at Yi Xiangxiang lazily huddled in the circle chair, her eyes shining slightly.
Yi Xiangxiang didn't notice Zhao Ziqian's strange appearance, but told him what had happened since he left: "I hinted at the dragon girl, and then she beat Lin Cen violently, and this matter is like this for the time being." Oh yes, and I brought back two oil bottles. ”
She took the Yue family brothers and sisters on the dragon boat together, after all, if they still let people stay in Pingzhou City, after they left, the two brothers and sisters would definitely be retaliated against by Lin Cen.
Zhao Ziqian didn't care much about unrelated people, so he didn't bother to ask how to arrange the brothers and sisters of the Yue family. I saw that he sent Qingxuan to get the dry towel, and then slowly wiped Yi Xiangxiang's wet hair little by little, very patient.
Yi Xiangxiang had just finished bathing, and her hair, in fact, Qing Xuan had already been wrenched. But after all, unlike modern hair dryers, the hair that has been twisted is still wet, although it is not dripping.
She hates going to bed with wet hair the most, so she doesn't mind Zhao Ziqian condescending to wipe her hair.
"I just received a message from Kyoto, and you are an aunt." Zhao Ziqian's voice sounded from behind his ears, so close that Yi Xiangxiang could feel his breathing.
Jiang Hai and Qing Xuan had already retreated to the outside of the hall with interest, so the scene became a little ambiguous.
Yi Xiangxiang was originally stunned for a moment, but because of Zhao Ziqian's words, she broke the ambiguity with surprise: "You mean that your sister-in-law was born?" ”
Zhao Ziqian nodded, but immediately noticed that Yi Xiangxiang couldn't see himself nodding, so he let out a sound: "Hmm." Then he got up and handed the letter from Yi Fu to Yi Xiangxiang, then sat down and continued to wipe Yi Xiangxiang's hair.
Although Yi Xiangxiang wondered how the message from Yi Mansion had arrived in Zhao Ziqian's hands first, it was obvious that she was not interested in pursuing it at the moment, but quickly opened the letter that had been opened.
She read the letter and said, "Eight pounds and two taels? That's a big fat boy! Fortunately, the size of the silver bracelet made by the craftsman a few days ago was enlarged, otherwise it is estimated that it will not be able to fit in until the full moon! ”
"Why not a gold bracelet?" Zhao Ziqian was a little puzzled, could it be that he, the queen, had already cut the door to the point that he had to "cut corners" for his nephew?
Yi Xiangxiang didn't know what Zhao Ziqian was thinking, but she still turned around and glanced at him, then turned back and continued to read the letter: "You don't understand this, do you?" Children wearing silver bracelets will not be as rough as gold bracelets, and the durability of sterling silver luster is related to people, people in good health will wear more and more bright, and if the body is weaker and has more toxins in the body, sterling silver jewelry may soon be blackened. ”
"How so?" She paused, looked up at the beam above her and explained again: "Just like we use a silver needle to check whether the food is poisonous, if it is poisonous, the silver needle will immediately turn black. This often wears sterling silver jewelry, which can expel toxins from the body, anyway...... That's pretty much it! ”
Zhao Ziqian understood Yi Xiangxiang's interpretation, so he said that he understood, and secretly planned to go back and send more silverware to Changchun Palace.
After reading the letter, Yi Xiangxiang planned to go to report the good news to her grandfather and grandmother, and at this time, Qing Xuan, who was guarding outside, walked in.
Qing Xuan saluted Zhao Ziqian and Yi Xiangxiang, and then said softly: "Holy Lord, Niangniang, the brothers and sisters of the Yue family ask to see each other, and say that they want to thank Niangniang for saving their lives. ”
After Yue Xingteng and Yue Xingying followed Yi Xiangxiang and the others on the dragon boat, the latter arranged for the palace maid and eunuch on the boat to take the two of them to wash and rest.
"Didn't you thank you, how can you thank you again?" Yi Xiangxiang was also a little too lazy to entertain the Yue family brothers and sisters, and besides, when was this.
In fact, at this point, Qing Xuan was also a little dissatisfied. She is a martial artist, and her ears are brighter than others. Just now she was waiting outside the hall, listening to the Yue brothers and sisters coming from downstairs, and then was blocked by the guards below, and it seemed that Yue Xingying pulled Yue Xingteng to come to visit.
She was worried that she would make a noise to Zhao Ziqian and Yi Xiangxiang, so she asked the guards to let her go, and let the Yue brothers and sisters wait at the viewing platform.
Then why is Qingxuan dissatisfied?
Not to mention anything else, let's just say that who doesn't know that the top floor of the dragon boat is the place where the emperor and queen rest? Yue Xingteng is just that, Yue Xingying, a big girl, has to pull her brother to show her eyes in front of the saint, which is somewhat inappropriate.
Qing Xuan knew that Yi Xiangxiang didn't like procrastination the most, and seeing that she was really dissatisfied, he deliberately expressed his dissatisfaction in front of Zhao Ziqian and said: "The slave maid has already told the brother and sister, but Miss Yue insists on thanking her in person." ”
She could have let them go directly, but she was afraid that they would come again and again, so she thought that she would let her master solve it at once.
"Miss Yue insisted? It's really interesting. Yi Xiangxiang smiled.
When he was in the inn before, Yue Xingteng pulled Yue Xingying, and the latter knelt down, but now he actually took the initiative to come? Obviously, the drunkard doesn't mean to drink!
Yi Xiangxiang wanted to see if this Yue Xingying was really as she thought, so she spoke.
"Let people in!" Yi Xiangxiang clasped her hands and asked Qing Xuan to call people in.
Yue Xingteng really had no intention of disturbing Yi Xiangxiang, he didn't know his identity before, but now that he knows, he naturally understands that his brother and sister don't have the ability to cling to the royal family. But his sister didn't pull him over, and he didn't want to refute her meaning too much, because he was in a dilemma downstairs just now.
At this time, the big palace maid beside the queen said that the queen invited them in, and immediately he turned serious and said to Yue Xingying: "Don't talk too much later, it is rude to ask to see you this night, so we will leave quickly after thanking the mother." ”
"Eh, brother, why are you so verbose! Don't worry, don't worry, I'll be careful what I say. Yue Xingying appeased Yue Xingteng.
The brother and sister walked into the inner hall under the guidance of Qing Xuan and bowed down to Zhao Ziqian and Yi Xiangxiang.
Zhao Ziqian still lowered his head and wiped Yi Xiangxiang's hair, not looking at the people who came in at all.
Yi Xiangxiang had already put on her robe at this time, and sat in front of the bookcase that Zhao Ziqian had just reviewed, and the treasure chair was spacious enough for her and Zhao Ziqian to sit together.
I saw her stretch out her hand and say to the visitor: "Miss Yue, Gongzi Yue, don't have to be polite, let's be even." ”
Yue Xingteng and Yue Xingying came in looking down at the upper of their shoes, this is one of the rules of the Li Dynasty to pay homage to the emperor, if the emperor does not say flat, whether you are a courtier or a commoner, you can't look directly at the emperor.
At this time, they looked up and saw that the Holy Lord was wiping the hair of the queen like a treasure, and they were all very shocked in their hearts.
Don't say that it's rude for the queen to sit in front of the saint with half of her body, and this picture of wiping her hair is too weird, right? Yue Xingteng and Yue Xingying glanced at each other, both of them were very surprised.
Yi Xiangxiang knew that this picture must be incredible! But Zhao Ziqian doesn't think there is anything herself, she has nothing to say about this blessed person! But what I have to say is that she finally understands why some girls fantasize about traveling to the era of women!
She broke the confusion of the Yue family brothers and sisters with a loud voice, and said with a smile: "Sit down." ”
Yue Xingteng hesitated and didn't dare to sit, but Yue Xingying pulled him down mischievously, and his delicate voice was like the voice of a yellow bird out of the valley: "Brother, just sit down, the queen is fine, she said that she can sit and she must be able to sit." ”
"Miss Yue is right, don't talk about those palace courtesies when you go out, Prince Yue, please take a seat." Yi Xiangxiang was very cooperative with Yue Xingying, and after saying this, she also called Jiang Hai and asked him to send someone to serve some tea and snacks.
"The grass people obeyed." Although Yue Xingteng decided to sit down, he still adhered to his duty in terms of title.
I saw him sit down and bow his hand to Yi Xiangxiang: "Thank you to the queen for breaking the siege today, the grass people have nothing to repay, and they will definitely offer the immortal card to the mother in the future, and pray for your longevity every day!" ”
Yue Xingteng saw that Zhao Ziqian had never spoken out, so he only said this to Yi Xiangxiang. And he didn't mention being a cow and a horse for Yi Xiangxiang, but made Qing Xuan, who was standing on the side, look a little soothed.
Yi Xiangxiang smiled when she heard this: "Gongzi Yue is polite, there is no need to be like this." ”
Because Yue Xingteng's posture was lowered, Yi Xiangxiang also felt that this person was not an ignorant person, at least he understood what he could ask for and what he couldn't.
And Yue Xingying is different, since she entered and sat down, her eyes have been floating around, and there is no lack of surprise in her eyes, and she even glanced at Zhao Ziqian secretly several times.
If it weren't for the fact that this person was really rescued by Yaksha from the firewood room of Zhizhou Mansion, Yi Xiangxiang would really think that it was Yue Xingying's voluntariness to be hung as the head card of Wanhualou.
Yue Xingteng's posture was lowered, and Yue Xingying was displeased. Although she was forced to go to Wanhualou, she now understands that if she is powerful and powerful, ten Lin Cen can't do anything with her! Yue Xingying knew that Yi Xiangxiang was originally just a merchant, and the other party could be a queen if she looked mediocre, why couldn't she?
That's why she brought her brother to the top of the dragon boat.
Now that she saw that Zhao Ziqian was so handsome and treated Yi Xiangxiang so gently and meticulously, the wishful thinking in her heart rang up.
Yue Xingying was angry, got up and walked to Yi Xiangxiang's side, shook her arm and said to her brother Yue Xingteng: "Yes, why is my brother so polite!" Since the queen mother beat Lin Cen because we offended the Lin family, it can be seen that she didn't treat us as outsiders! ”
Yi Xiangxiang was sitting facing the Yue family brothers and sisters, and Zhao Ziqian was half of her body in order to wipe her hair. Now Yue Xingying ran over and shook her arm, and leaned close to Zhao Ziqian's side.
As for Yue Xingying's actions, Yi Xiangxiang was simply stunned!
What is this operation? She was a little confused.
Yue Xingteng frowned because of this: "Xingying, don't be rude!" His heart was beating like thunder, as he distinctly saw a trace of murderous intent flash in the saint's eyes.
"Where is the rudeness?" Yue Xingying pouted dissatisfiedly, and then said to Yi Xiangxiang: "Sister Queen, you don't know, sister, I'm afraid of killing that Lin Cen these days!" But if you beat someone like this, and you drew him bloody, the Prime Minister's Mansion won't blame you, right? If there is something strange in the Prime Minister's Mansion, although the sister pushes the matter to the younger sister, the younger sister will never let the sister face the Prime Minister's Mansion alone! ”
What the heck? What kind of painting style is this? Why are you a sister and sister?
Yi Xiangxiang pulled out her arm from Yue Xingying's hand, and admired it in her heart.
Eh, although Yi Xiangxiang doesn't like Yue Xingying, she has to admit that people like Yue Xingying are really suitable for staying in the harem. Look at what she said just now, not only did she reveal the bottom of the beating of Lin Cen, but also talked about righteousness by the way, which is really amazing.
It's a pity, the girl didn't know that it was Zhao Ziqian's intention to teach Lin Cen a lesson.
"Miss Yue said cautiously, what do you mean by facing the Prime Minister's Mansion? Bengong and Luo Shizi and the county lord Minghui drank tea in the teahouse, and after Lord Lin Cen accidentally collided, he also collided with the county lord Minghui before he was punished by the county lord. Yi Xiangxiang said with a smile.
The rhetoric was set a long time ago, not to mention that it was originally instructed by Zhao Ziqian, even if it wasn't, Yi Xiangxiang also had a reason to stand.
When Yue Xingteng heard this, he hurriedly spoke: "What the queen mother said is extremely true. ”
If it weren't for the fact that he, a foreign man, was inconvenient to get too close to Yi Xiangxiang, Yue Xingteng really wanted to bring his sister over at this time.
However, it is inconvenient for him, but it is very convenient for Qing Xuan.
At this time, the little eunuchs who served the tea brought new refreshments, and Qing Xuan took the last few places and forced Yue Xingying to retreat from his place.
Yue Xingying could only sit down again, and after taking a sip of tea, she continued to work tirelessly: "Why did Sister Queen go to the Lechuan Teahouse?" The saint said to Lin Cen that he would not go to the hotel to rest, so he dragged my sister who originally needed to perform from Wanhualou to Zhizhou Mansion, and my sister thought that she would never have the opportunity to see Tianyan again in this life! It was at that time that when I learned that you were the queen mother in the teahouse, I almost recognized Luo Shizi as a saint, which was really a joke. ”
After she said this, she didn't want to observe Zhao Ziqian's movements.
Well, Yi Xiangxiang underestimated Yue Xingying just now! Before, those were sprinkled with water, but now these words really sold Yi Xiangxiang to the bottom! Don't care about anything else, just say that you almost recognized Luo Shizi as a saint, what the hell is this? Doesn't it imply that Yi Xiangxiang and Luo Baohua are too close?
I didn't expect to save a white-eyed wolf? Yi Xiangxiang suddenly felt that she didn't have any good popularity!
And Yue Xingying also emphasized that he was originally going to perform! It's a pity that my little sister doesn't know, Zhao Ziqian has a lot of harem beauties, which one has no talent?
Yi Xiangxiang suddenly felt that it was not interesting, it was really boring to fight with someone who was not good enough, so she yawned and said, "Oh? Is it? That's Miss Yue's mistake. The posture of the saint is different from that of Luo Shizi! ”
Zhao Ziqian, who was in the back, was very satisfied with Yi Xiangxiang's compliment, and wiped his hair even harder, the king's ceremony had been shattered into scum! And Luo Baohua, who was in his own wing room on the third floor, sneezed.
Yue Xingying didn't expect that Yi Xiang sesame oil and salt would not enter, and there was no other way at this time, so he could only smile reluctantly and say, "It's my sister's clumsiness." ”
Yi Xiangxiang was too lazy to quarrel with Yue Xingying anymore, so she issued an eviction order: "The palace is also tired, if there is nothing to do, Gongzi Yue and Miss Yue will go back to rest." Ming'er's dragon boat sails again, and when you get to the next state city, you will leave on your own! ”
Yue Xingteng hurriedly said, Yue Xingying wanted to say something but was stopped by the former, and then the two of them retreated.
Yi Xiangxiang looked at the departing figures of the Yue family's brothers and sisters, and then said to Qing Xuan: "This Yue Xingying is not a fuel-efficient lamp, watch more, don't delay our business." ”
She couldn't wait to go to Tongzhou to dig up the treasure, and then go back to see her little nephew.
Zhao Ziqian didn't think so, he said to Yi Xiangxiang: "Why bother, just get off the boat." ”
For people that Yi Xiangxiang doesn't like, he has always doubled his dislike.
"Forget it, send the Buddha to the west. If you put it in Pingzhou, you will definitely not be able to escape from Lin Cen's palm, so let's take them farther away. "Yi Xiangxiang mainly has a good impression of Yue Xingteng.
People are precious in self-knowledge!
"The Lin family has been getting more and more disagreeable recently." Zhao Ziqian said coldly.
Yi Xiangxiang was very straightforward: "If the water is clear, there will be no fish, but you are right, the Lin family wants to deter. Especially after the treasure is dug up, most of your energy will be invested in the affairs of Meizhou, and you will be even more lacking. ”
She didn't realize at all that if these remarks fell into the ears of those who had a heart, it would be to provoke the relationship between the monarch and the minister.
Of course, none of the people present except Jiang Hai realized that there was anything wrong with this.
Zhao Ziqian nodded: "I have my own arrangements." Then he asked, "Who do you think is more appropriate to send to Meizhou to build a river road?" ”
Yi Xiangxiang said without thinking: "My brother must go, after all, it is my money that is spent, I have to know where the money is spent!" ”
Jiang Hai and Qing Xuan were embarrassed when they heard this, and Zhao Ziqian also laughed.
"What's so funny about this, I'm telling the truth! Besides, this errand of building a river road for the benefit of the people is considered to be of great merit, and I naturally have to find a benefit for my family! Thousands of years later, there will still be the name of my Yi family in the merit book, how good! Yi Xiangxiang did not hide her purpose at all.
Zhao Ziqian gently pulled her hair and said with a smile: "Don't you worry that your nephew won't have a father to accompany you now?" ”
Before, Yi Luochuan asked for orders to go to Tongzhou to dig treasures, but Yi Xiangxiang stopped her sister-in-law on the verge of giving birth.
Yi Xiangxiang said: "When the official start starts, at least after next year." When the time comes, let my sister-in-law take my little nephew with me, it's not a difficult thing, and it's just enough to avoid the dark miasma in Kyoto City! ”
Yes, it turned out that it had been calculated a long time ago! Zhao Ziqian was helpless.
"Except for your brother? Kang Rui or Duan Yi? Or Luo Baohua and Sheng Changhong? Or someone else? Zhao Ziqian continued to ask.
Meizhou's plate is very large, Yi Luochuan can't do it alone, and others must complete it together. And in addition to a few principals who can take on great responsibilities, they must also be assisted by useful people.
Yi Xiangxiang turned to look at Zhao Ziqian and asked sincerely, "Do you really want to listen to my advice?" ”
Zhao Ziqian nodded.
Now that the imperial court is in ruins, he knows that Yi Xiangxiang is a talented person, so he naturally really wants to listen to her advice.
Yi Xiangxiang said with a smile: "The most suitable person in charge is none other than Zhao Zixiu, the king of An." ”
Zhao Ziqian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, yes, he also felt that the most suitable was his fourth brother.
And taking this opportunity, he can finally repay the love that Zhao Zixiu voluntarily retired to Tongzhou back then.
It's not a good life
Non-red-faced, not thin-hearted, cool-hearted
