In the end, it is difficult for the emperor to say that his brother and daughter-in-law are not, but it does not mean that he will not find someone to be angry. "Hong Tao!"

"The old slave is here!" Hong Tao, who was originally shrunk at the door, hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "The emperor has something to order." ”

"The sixth prince is out fighting, the evil spirit is too heavy, I am worried that he will be counterattacked, do you have a way?"

Hong Tao was so shrewd that his eyelashes were empty, how could he not know the emperor's thoughts, and immediately answered: "Your Majesty, the old slave has heard people say on weekdays, it is said that this kind of evil spirit can be resolved by sincerely copying a hundred volumes of scriptures by someone close to you, you see......"

"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows in satisfaction, waved his hand, and said: "In this case, you can go and spread the word, I heard that Princess Zhongyong is very famous, and she must also be a person who likes to read and write, so let her copy five hundred volumes." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Hong Tao bowed down and passed the message.

Chapter 49

As soon as Zuo Tianyu was about to say something, a little eunuch reported a favorite concubine to bring soup to the emperor, he glanced at his father, and retired with great eyes.

When he left the imperial study, he thought of the imperial uncle who was far away on the frontier to kill the enemy, and he was very depressed. He prides himself on being a good man, both civil and military, but he can only be locked up in this small capital, if he can go to the battlefield in person and kill all sides, what a happy thing it should be.

But when he thought of the Sixth Emperor Uncle who was dead, he began to sigh again, in comparison, he only had a faint affection for the woman, and he definitely couldn't call it any emotion, if there was a way to revive her, he would definitely do his best to help the Six Emperor Uncle reunite with his family, and he would not have the slightest intention of fighting, but it was a pity......

Thinking like this, when he came back to his senses, he actually walked to the place where the elders worked.

Hearing that Prime Minister Ye Cheng was furious in the house, it turned out that the imperial court had collected a large amount of grain from the south and transported it to northern Xinjiang as military food, and he didn't want to be stopped by a county commander who appeared out of nowhere on the canal of the capital, on the grounds that he was going to go on a trip, and the grain ship spoiled the scenery.

Because of this kind of empty-eyed, self-conscious invincible fool delayed the delivery of military food, it is simply a great shame, if it was in the past, the escort of the deputy general would have been cut down with a knife, but the son shouted that his aunt was the emperor's favorite concubine, which made the generals embarrassed, fortunately, the distance was not far, and the news was soon sent to the palace.

Zuo Tianyu understood what was going on, and immediately volunteered to take over this matter that the courtiers found tricky.

As a courtier, it is not good to point fingers at the emperor's harem, but the prince understands too well what the so-called favorite concubine aunt of the prince is, but she is a little beauty, and she was summoned by her father twice more and became rampant, and half a month ago she was found to have hidden aphrodisiac incense in her residence and was sent to the cold palace, and now her father Xu doesn't remember her appearance, so he naturally has no difficulty in dealing with it, and he can also take the opportunity to go out for a walk.

Prime Minister Ye Cheng and the others were naturally very grateful and solemnly thanked them.

Zuo Tianyu looked at Ye Chengxiang's gray hair, remembering that he didn't know his favorite daughter yet, and the two little grandsons had already returned to the underworld, so he panicked and quickly led a group of guards out of the palace.

A hundred miles away, a trivial matter, but it was disposed of in one day, the boy was beheaded, and the county official was exiled, but the prince, who was difficult to get out of Beijing, was unwilling to go back early, so he found an excuse to hurry slowly.

At noon on this day, because of chasing a deer halfway, Zuo Tianyu took the guards out of the mountains and forests and turned around, searched for a while, and turned onto a fork in the official road, everyone was hungry, and saw a small shop on the side of the road from a distance, and there was a faint fragrance drifting to the nose with the breeze.

The small shop is really not big, but there are two tables, each accompanied by four stools, and it is not even painted, only polished very smooth.

A peasant girl with braided hair came out of the back with a shallow basket, and the coveted aroma became even stronger.

A guard shouted: "This girl, what kind of food have you made in this store, just bring it up, our son will not lose your food money!" ”

When the girl saw the guest coming to the door, she squinted her eyes with a smile, and said crisply: "Okay, everyone sit down first, and I will let the back kitchen stir-fry the vegetables immediately." Our shop's baked cakes are famous far and wide, and you still want to eat them. ”

The health guard was afraid that the prince would dislike the simplicity of the shop, so he pulled his sleeves to wipe the stool, and shouted: "Are there any better chairs, our son is not used to this." ”

The girl was raising her hand to lift the door curtain, and when she heard this, she turned her head and responded: "I'm sorry, this big brother, we can only invite some generals in the village shop." ”

Zuo Tianyu waved his hand to signal the guard not to say any more, and instead looked at the girl with a smile, and unexpectedly swept the figure behind the curtain out of the corner of his eye, and was stunned.

I had to look at it again, but the curtain was put down, and he was so anxious that he stepped forward to open the curtain, but the girl happened to come out with the dishes and chopsticks, and the two collided in one place, ping pong, and the dishes and chopsticks were smashed clean.

The girl raised her eyebrows in annoyance and shouted, "What's the matter with you, why did you casually break into someone's back house?" Look at the good things you did, the bowls are broken. ”

Although the guards also wondered why the prince was suddenly like this, they couldn't tolerate a small peasant girl committing a crime, and someone immediately drew a knife and scolded: "Shut up, don't be rude!" ”

Zuo Tianyu didn't care about everyone, strode into the backyard, grabbed the woman who was drying white cotton cloth, and asked angrily: "Why are you here, you are not dead?" ”

The guards had just pulled down the curtain, and they happened to see their master pulling a woman who looked very good to speak, so they all guessed in their hearts, this is the woman the master met, they have been around all day, but they haven't seen it?

Of course, they only dared to mumble these words in their hearts, but they didn't notice that when they were distracted, the girl with her pigtails had already run out of the shop quickly.

Ye Lan just washed a large basin of white cotton cloth, which is used to spread in the basket, and the baked cakes are directly put in when they are baked, and they are not clean, and they have to be cleaned almost every two days.

Originally, this was Cuihua's work, but today the weather was fine, Hu Po moved the idea of going out for a walk with the child, she simply picked up Shanzi to protect the two old and two young to go out for a walk around, saving the good time.

Cuihua had to take care of the shop business in front of her, so she naturally took over the job.

The weather was fine, bathed in the warm and not blazing sun, and the cuckoo cries occasionally sounded in her ears, Ye Lan was rarely in a good mood, humming softly while washing, and the snow-white cotton cloth was just about to be put on the bamboo pole, and she suddenly grabbed her wrist if she didn't want to, needless to say, the hard work of the morning was in vain, and the white cotton cloth fell to the ground.

Ye Lan turned her head angrily, she was stunned, and when she heard these two words again, she remembered that this person was the "chatter" she met before escaping from the palace. Anyway, it seemed that he had promised him a lot of things that day, and after a while, he patted his ass and left, so she greeted with a dry smile with a little weakness: "That...... Well, long time no see. ”

Zuo Tianyu was even more angry, thinking of the white-headed Sixth Emperor Uncle overnight, he almost wanted to beat someone, but then he remembered something more important, and asked loudly: "What about your two children, are my two younger brothers and sisters also alive?" ”

"What brother and sister?" Hearing him mention his children, Ye Lan instinctively erected the spikes all over her body like a dragonfly, shook off his hand, and said coldly: "That's my child, what does it have to do with you?" ”

"It doesn't matter, it's my cousins, cousins, they are the bloodline of my Sixth Emperor Uncle!" Zuo Tianyu was also anxious, thinking that if the Sixth Emperor Uncle learned that his wife and children were still alive in the world, would he cherish his life even more, and would not rush to the front in every battle. "Tell me, is the child still alive?"

A group of guards were originally secretly watching the play with a peachy mentality, but when they saw this, they hurriedly surrounded them, staring at Ye Lan, and there was a frame in which the master drew a knife and chopped people when he gave an order.

Ye Lan pondered in her heart for a moment, and her face became even colder, "No wonder I saw you in the palace that day, it turns out that you are also a royal person." The child is naturally alive, but it has nothing to do with your royal family, it is my flesh and blood! ”

Zuo Tianyu was relieved, where did she care about her bad face, and was just about to wave her hand to signal the guards to retreat, but the back door of the shop was kicked open, and countless old and young masters held iron-toothed rakes, sickles, and even flat shoulders, and swarmed in.

The guards were even more nervous, and they surrounded their masters in the middle and shouted loudly, "Who are you?" Inform the intention, otherwise there will be no mercy! ”

But those old and young masters were stingy and threw them at them even with a look, but instead surrounded Ye Lan and asked loudly: "Tuan Tuan damn, have these people hurt you?" Don't be afraid, there's a lot of people here, and no one wants to hurt your hair! ”

Ye Lan didn't wait for a reply, but those guards couldn't listen to such an arrogant declaration, and scolded loudly: "Bold Xi Min, blind your dog's eyes, and actually commit ...... offense."

"Shut up!" Uncle Wu, the leader of the group, had a shocking voice, he glanced at Zuo Tianyu and the guards contemptuously, and snorted coldly: "Isn't it just a group of dog minions?" Don't think that if you don't wear dog skins, we won't recognize you, get out of here, or this will be your burial place! ”

The guard still wanted to speak, but Ye Lan was afraid that the villagers would suffer, so she hurriedly explained: "Uncle Wu, don't worry, this person is a friend I knew before, because of some things, but it won't hurt me, it's all a misunderstanding." ”

After speaking, she glared at Zuo Tianyu fiercely.

Zuo Tianyu thought for a while, and waved his hand to signal the guards to retreat, "You all quit, it's really an old acquaintance, you don't need to meet each other." ”

Where do the guards dare to retreat, they are guarding the prince of a country, the future emperor, if they lose a cold hair, they will not have enough heads, and the whole family will not want to live.

Zuo Tianyu narrowed his eyes, angry and drove people away, "Don't retreat yet!" ”

After all, the guards did not dare to disobey the orders of their masters, but they did not dare to go far, and they refused to take a step back after retreating to the curtain aggrievedly.

Uncle Wu and the others were puzzled when they saw it, and asked Ye Lan in a low voice, "Tuan Tuan damn, Cuihua reported that this person had bad intentions, why is it your friend again?" If you have any difficulties, you can tell everyone, don't be afraid, we ourselves have been wronged. ”

Chapter 50

Ye Lan listened very warmly, but this was not a good time to speak, so she only nodded in response, in order to reassure the villagers, she said again: "Uncle, don't worry, this is ...... My husband's nephew will not hurt me. ”

"Oh, I see." The eyes of all the villagers were full of gossip, but they didn't say much, and in the end they still left five or six strong descendants to buy baked cakes under the pretext of staying in the shop, insisting on waiting until Cuihua came back to find Shanzi and the second elder.

When Zuo Tianyu heard the word "nephew", his heart was really awkward, he sat on the stone bench next to him angrily, and mocked: "No wonder the old saying goes, the most poisonous woman's heart!" You deceived everyone into thinking that the three of you mother and son were dead, but you ended up living here at ease, and you had a bad time with my six emperor uncles who were white-headed overnight and almost died of sadness. ”

Hearing that Zuo Yuanhao had a bald head overnight, Ye Lan's heart ached, but then she remembered the interception that day, as well as the fire of the Hu family, if it wasn't for the support of Shanzi, how could their mother and son survive? All this is because the negative man ruthlessly abandoned them, even if she was wrong, how could he give her a chance to explain, and how could he fulfill the responsibility of being a father and a husband?

"Don't laugh, if he really has our mother and son in his heart, we don't have to cheat to death and run away!"

Zuo Tianyu still wanted to argue a few words for his Sixth Emperor Uncle, but he was upset when he thought about it, and the grievances and hatreds of other husbands and wives made them entangle themselves, and it was really no good for him to get involved.

Thinking like this, he poured out those annoyances, but patted the empty stone table angrily and shouted: "Aunt Huang, my nephew has returned from an errand, and his stomach is empty, how about preparing a few good dishes?" ”

Ye Lan was still ready to go, waiting to fight with him, but she didn't want him to become as soft as cotton, and even had a tendency to stick to her teeth.

However, this is also much better than saber rattling.

"Wait! There are no good dishes in the country shop, just eat enough, no matter how good the food is, remember to pay. ”

"Okay, thank you, boss." Zuo Tianyu thanked him with kindness, and finally raised his face and basked in the sun lazily, looking like an uncle waiting for dinner.

Ye Lan rolled her eyes, shook her head and walked to the stove, the newly baked baked cakes, then fried leek eggs, mixed with sesame fragrant wild vegetables, steamed minced meat and cabbage, and finally a bowl of drunken fried river prawns, but in two quarters of an hour, the baked cakes were served on the table with four side dishes, plus two pickled cucumbers and garlic eggplants pickled at home, which was also hearty.

Zuo Tianyu Xu let go of his thoughts, baked cakes with his left hand, flew with chopsticks in his right hand, and ate non-stop like a whirlwind and clouds, seeing that Ye Lan thought that he was a refugee who fled from the famine, how could he be a royal person with gold and jade?

Even the guards in the shop in front of them were dumbfounded, and they didn't understand that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was possessed by something today, and his temperament had changed greatly, so he could eat, but they were also relieved, and secretly stuffed back the silver needle that was ready to test the poison, and took the food brought by Ye Lan and ate and drank it in a big gulp, after all, after running for most of the day, everyone was so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs.

Seeing this, several descendants of the pagoda village put down the sickle they had been holding in their hands, and at this time, Shanzi hurried back with two old and two young, and they took their leave and went home.

As soon as Hu Po saw Ye Lan, she grabbed her hand and asked anxiously: "What's the matter, Cuihua said that there are villains in the shop, you are not stupid enough to ask for money and die, right?" ”

Ye Lan couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this, and hurriedly responded: "Auntie, don't worry, Cuihua misunderstood, it's not a villain, it's a ...... Well, an old acquaintance. ”
