Chapter 319: The Imperial Meeting
The third day after the New Year. The morning will reopen.
The pilgrimage of this day. Very grand. But if you can reach the grade. Catch up with the officials who participated. Most will go. Thereinto. Including Yan Wang Ye and Yan Xiuyu, who have no real jobs.
It was still dawn in the morning. Yan Wang Ye got up with Yan Xiuyu. Beat the horse and go to the capital.
As usual in previous years. This pilgrimage will be dissolved very early. Less than noon. The two brothers should be able to return home.
But. Until dusk. They haven't been seen back.
Yan Qingge couldn't help but feel worried.
"The little princess. The princess has invited you to come over." A maid called the Purple Warbler. Arrived at Yan Qingge's house. Brittle said.
The purple warbler is the personal maid of the eldest princess of Roufu. No matter where you go. are a little more faceless than others. Yan Qingge has always been very kind to Ziying. Tell the people in the house to keep the purple warbler to drink tea and eat the fruit. Go into the house and change your clothes.
Come out in a moment. Ruyi opened the curtain and walked into the inner room. Take the hand. Help Yan Qingge tie his clothes and belts. Yan Qingge knew. Ruyi heard something from Ziying.
"Little Lord is fine." Ruyi said: "It was the Northland that won a great victory. Feast in the palace. All officials have a share. Both the Yan and the little prince stayed."
Yan Qingge sighed. She had heard Yan Xiuyu talk about the situation in the Northland before. Reputedly. There's a general there. Who exactly. Even the Yanwang Mansion can't detect it.
This time the battle was won. The palace celebrates with such fanfare. Wait for the Northland to settle down. The general who guarded the Northland. Rewarded. It will certainly not be small.
Merely. There are still so many Northern Barbarian nobles in Beijing. They know the news. I don't think I'm going to be happy. But now it is the crown prince who controls the government. He's never untargeted. Do so. I must have dealt with those northern barbarians a long time ago.
With a quasi-letter. Yan Qingge's heart is a lot more stable.
Arrived at the eldest princess of Jofu. The eldest princess of Roufu is teasing Yan Ling'er to play.
Meet Yan Qingge. The eldest princess of Roufu smiled gently. pulled Yan Qing and said, "None of them came back. I wonder if you're eating alone. Then I called the girl to call you."
After speaking. Then he commanded those who were waiting outside to set the meal.
Although Yan Qingge did not have too deep contact with the eldest princess of Roufu. But I still know her. Today the eldest princess of Joho called her. There must be something to tell her.
Sure enough. Dinner over three rounds. Whatever you eat and drink is removed. Yan Ling'er was also put to sleep over there. The maid holds two fragrant teas. Then he obediently withdrew. house. There are only two left, Yan Qingge and the eldest princess of Roufu.
The eldest princess of Joul gets straight to the point. Dao: "Qingge. You're going to leave me here tonight. Call a maid back. Pack up the important stuff."
Yan Qingge listened to her words. The heart is cold. I knew something big had to happen.
"Please also ask my sister-in-law to teach me." Yan Qingge tried to restrain his eagerness to ask for the truth. Pretend to be calm. Said.
"I've got news from the palace. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince visited Fengzao Palace once on Chinese New Year's Eve. He never came out again. 'M afraid. There is a change in the palace. The palace banquet was not ordered by the prince. This news can't be hidden. If the northern barbarians in the capital take advantage of the fire to rob. It's hard to clean up."
Yan Qingge listened. A heart fell heavily. There are even bouts of vertigo in front of my eyes.
She is the one who has spent time on the battlefield of Qingzhou. Others don't know. She didn't know. The Northlanders stepped on their horses. How terrifying.
Seeing Yan Qingge's face turn pale all of a sudden. The eldest princess of Jofu slowed her voice. Gentle comfort: "Don't worry too much. We live in the suburbs. Much better than in town. And there are two of them, Lord Yan and Brother Yu. I will also try my best to get around in Beijing. It's best if nothing happens."
"Yes...... Can...... But if I were a northern barbarian. I know that Kyo will celebrate for this. I'll ...... too" Yan Qingge was incoherent. I just don't know what to say well.
Time. She was in turmoil. There was a replay of the queen's emaciated face with a faint madness.
It's all there. It's all the queen's ghost. Why didn't she stay in the Fengzao Palace honestly? Be her queen too. Could it be that her heart. Don't you see how dangerous this is?
Good half a day. Yan Qingge slowly clarified his thoughts.
She finally calmed down. smiled at the eldest princess of Roufu: "Sister-in-law. I don't have anything to pack there. I'll be with you at night."
No matter which maid she was asked to go back and pack her things. It definitely can't be avoided Ruyi. And Cao Yu. Eighty percent of the officials who were invited to the banquet tonight.
But the current situation is. They can't afford to act rashly. Not to mention asking Ruyi to go to the capital to report to Cao Yu and escape. The grass scared the snake.
It's better not to let Ruyi know at all.
Yan Qingge was terrified. I feel that time has been stretched infinitely. Every heartbeat became very hard.
The eldest princess of Jofu saw her reaction. Wen Sheng called the purple warbler and the green swallow in. Said: "The bed in the blue gauze cabinet is warm. Change the incense in the house. Add some charcoal."
Next to the blue gauze cupboard. It is a small bedroom. The eldest princess of Roufu called to clean up and sleep for Yan Qingge at night.
"Eldest princess. It's not early. I'll go over there first." Yan Qingge said goodbye to the eldest princess of Roufu. Went to the blue gauze cupboard.
I don't have the eldest princess of Roufu by my side. She can be relaxed. Maybe it wasn't so uncomfortable.
Purple warblers and green swallows are very intelligent. Replace the incense from the blue gauze cabinet with an incense that calms the nerves and helps you sleep. And he burned the charcoal stove hot. The beds are also soft and comfortable. If you change sides. Yan Qingge will definitely be sleepy. But today she has something on her mind. Even hypnotize yourself. Can't sleep either.
There was silence. Suddenly. There was a knock knock at the door.
"Who?" Yan Qingge was stunned. Sit up. A heart beating wildly uncontrollably. I'm afraid someone has brought bad news.
"The little princess. It's the two little masters from the Yan Mansion who have something wrong." A maid outside said.
"Ruyi. Go out and have a look." Yan Qingge heard that it was Aunt Caifeng's side. I was finally able to control my heartbeat. Stroking his chest. Command Ruyi.
Ruyi went out and asked a few questions. came back and said, "Aunt Caifeng didn't look at Miss Five. Fifth Miss and Young Master Lan Tong got into a fight. Miss Five was scratched twice in the face. I've called Lang Zhong to see it."
Lan Tong is half a year younger than the fifth lady Yan Hanqiu. Yan Qingge had seen him a few times. Leave an impression. It's all a cowardly look. Yan Qingge couldn't have imagined it. Lan Tong dared to make a move on Yan Hanqiu.
But. This thing comes down to the end. It's all their own children. She shouldn't have been reported in the middle of the night.
"Call someone to ask again. What the hell is going on?" Yan Qingge rubbed his head. A burst of irritability.
Aunt Caifeng's heart. There are really more than the stars in the sky. It's never good to say something. I want to go around in a circle. I don't know if she's been a maid for a long time or what. That's why I fell into such a problem.
It was fine before. Now Yan Qingge is not in the mood to guess. Naturally, I will feel that Aunt Caifeng is not interesting. Her little things. Even if it is above board, what will happen in front of Yan Qingge. I want to go around and around. It's really annoying.
Ruyi called the little maid who was watching the door to ask. I promised her a plate of snacks. Soon. The little maid jumped back. Sharp words: "Sister Ruyi. When I went. A Mrs. Zhu with her son was there. That Mrs. Zhu seems to be from the Xinguo Mansion. Her husband is a cleaner in our house."
There was a clang.
Ruyi hurriedly bypassed the screen and ran in. I saw Yan Qingge sitting in front of the bed. Expression stagnant. The tea bowl she held in her hand. Dropped to the ground. Roll into the corner. On her skirt and on the ground in front of her.** splashed with water.
"Miss. What's wrong with you, Miss." Ruyi could see at a glance that Yan Qingge's expression and face at this time were not right. Hurriedly stepped forward and shook Yan Qingge twice.
Yan Qingge's face. Not a single trace of blood. It's like a dream. It took a long time to come back to my senses.
She looked at Ruyi. Open your lips a few times. None of them spoke. In the end, he asked miserably: "That Mrs. Zhu's husband. Isn't it called Zhu Huan?"
The little girl standing outside the screen hasn't left. Listened to Yan Qingge's questioning. Immediately replied, "That's the name."
Yan Qingge struggled to control himself. But there was still a chill on my body. I couldn't help but shudder.
Before she was reborn. In the Shinkoku Mansion. The most outstanding concubine. It's not Zhu Mao at all. It's Zhu Huan. Zhu Huan is not only excellent in his own talents. The wife is also very shrewd and means. Two sons Zhu Cheng. ZHU Yan. It also inherited the advantages of his parents.
In order to compete for the title of the Duke of Shinkoku. Zhu Huan and her wife Rong. Fight with Yan Qingge. Even if the battle for the knighthood later fails. It's still been aimed at Yan Qingge. Yan Qingge's life in the Xinguo Mansion was so difficult. Zhu Huan and Rong. Great contributions.
Especially after Yan Qingge's only son, Zhu Ming, became stupid. Zhu Huan's wife, Rong. even secretly bribed the little maid. Wants to kill Ju Ming. Then let his son succeed to Yan Qingge's name.
That hasn't happened yet, though. It has been revealed. Finally Zhu Huan and his wife. Separate the letter of the state of the government single pass. But that doesn't mean that Yan Qingge forgot what happened at that time.
She knew it in her heart. Relying on Zhu Mao's ability and ability. It's definitely not as good as Zhu Huan. But the Zhao family had no intention of passing on the title to any of their concubines at all. Don't care how capable Zhu Huan is. It's impossible to get a knighthood.
But. Zhu Huan and his wife only stared at Zhu Mao's success. and because Zhu Mao was favored by the Queen Mother Yan Shuyu. Don't dare to move Zhu Mao. only hit the idea on Yan Qingge and Zhu Ming's mother and son. Its intentions are vicious. It's too much to write.
This kind of juncture. This couple suddenly appeared. Let Yan Qingge, who was already under a lot of pressure. For a moment, it seemed to go back to the years when they were targeted by the Rong couple in the previous life.
Ruyi draped the hot blanket over Yan Qingge's body. Good half a day. Yan Qingge just warmed up a little.
There was another announcement from the maid outside: "Miss. Fifth Miss and Young Master Lan Tong were both settled. Aunt Caifeng is coming to kowtow to you."
In the middle of the night. Aunt Caifeng came over suddenly. And the Rong family was still in her room. Estimate. This time there is not only Aunt Caifeng. And Rong's.
She really didn't want to see Rong. Thereupon. Yan Qingge waved his hand. Said: "Say I'm sleepy. We'll talk about it tomorrow."
