Act 6: The life story of the Qunfang Building
Opposite this green building is a thriving restaurant, and the window where Ye Xiyue and Shen Nanshan jumped is facing the second floor of the restaurant.
On the second floor of the restaurant, a white robe was dressed in a gray robe, and the man wearing a falling veil hat leaned against the pillar, took a sip of the wine in the gourd, looked at Gu Changge, who was chasing Ye Xiyue and Shen Nanshan, and sighed: "Why do you have to jump out of the window, you don't leave when there is a door." β
He easily fell from the restaurant to the ground, and his figure disappeared into the bustling crowd.
β¦β¦
Shen Nanshan's escape speed has always been very fast, carefully calculated, he has fled dozens of times in his life, some escaped from death, some almost fell into the abyss, and once even hid in the prison of the capital, except for the palace, no one is more familiar with the streets of Xuanhua than him.
So he saw not far ahead, an elegant small building, a few peach blossom trees planted in front of the building, from the small building there was a jingling bell sound floated out, his eyes lit up, and he ran to the door of the building like the wind under his feet, and knocked on the door as if he was desperate.
"Knock knock knock!"
Gu Changge, who was chasing after him, obviously noticed it, frowned, and hesitantly pronounced the name of this small building: "Qunfang Building." β
Then he and Ye Xiyue both stopped and watched Shen Nanshan knock on the door in an orderly manner: "Open the door!" Open the door! If I don't open the door, I'll be done! β
Gu Changge waited for a while, and said, "It seems that people don't want to open it for you, so you can only die here." β
The long sword flew out and went straight to Shen Nanshan's head, Shen Nanshan leaned against the door and shouted that it was not good, but there was nowhere to escape. The white paper umbrella in Ye Xiyue's hand was also thrown, colliding with the long sword!
Gu Changge was about to apply a deeper level of exercise, and when he completely smashed the white paper umbrella, his pupils suddenly dilated, and he withdrew his long sword.
Because the door is open.
A woman in a big red golddee double feiluo dress stood in front of the door, her long black hair flying, her skin was crystal fair, and her posture was graceful. Her peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of her lips were slightly hooked, as if she was sneering, and as if she was laughing at the farce in front of her door.
One of her slender hands caught the white paper umbrella, and handed it back to Ye Xiyue, who came forward, politely bowed to her, and then said to Shen Nanshan, who fell to the ground: "What are you arculating about, I'm not running a restaurant here, what are you doing with so many people?" β
Shen Nanshan sneered, comprehended, pointed to Gu Changge not far away, and said, "It's not that we are redundant, it's that he is redundant, like a bee, chasing after us." β
"I really think of myself as a flower, boasting about myself." The woman in red scolded angrily, broke off a flower branch from the tree, and said to Gu Changge while breaking off the pink buds: "This son, since you know what Qunfanglou does, it's better to go back early, after all, Prince Shun doesn't want his matter today to be revealed to His Majesty by me." β
Gu Changge stopped talking, turned around and left in silence.
Qunfang Building is called Qunfang, and the person who is really in charge is actually only Shangguan Qiushuang, and Shangguan Qiushuang is the female history of the empress, responsible for secretly observing the movements of the princes and nobles and the four great families, and then reporting the information to the empress, of course, her identity is only known to a few people.
Shangguan Qiushuang threw away the bare flower branches, turned sideways and said to Ye Xiyue: "Someone wants to see you." β
Ye Xiyue entered the door, and Shen Nanshan also wanted to follow in, but was stopped by Shangguan Qiushuang taking a step forward: "Don't follow." β
"I can't see anyone?" Shen Nanshan said with a big grin.
Shangguan Qiushuang said: "Didn't you already guess almost?" β
Shen Nanshan was silent for a moment and said, "You're right. β
The person Ye Xiyue was looking for was Princess Jinghua of Nanling Kingdom, Bai Jing, the designated heir to the throne of Her Majesty the Empress.
"Who the hell is she?" Shen Nanshan once again raised this question.
Shangguan Qiushuang said softly: "She is a princess. β
Shen Nanshan smiled: "Hahaha! The joke is so cold. "As we all know, Her Majesty the Empress has only one descendant, Princess Jinghua.
Shangguan Qiushuang glanced at him: "I said that Old Lady Shen still has ten rooms and eight rooms outside, and his aunt and concubine, do you believe it or not?" β
Shen Nanshan laughed so much that his waist was about to bend down, and he stood up while holding his waist, and said solemnly: "I believe it." β
Shangguan Qiushuang said: "It is not impossible that Your Majesty still has a daughter. β
To be honest, she was shocked when she heard it at first.
The quiet room was filled with the fragrance of tea, and behind the half-hanging bead curtain, two women sat opposite each other and drank tea. The white paper splashed ink plum blossom umbrella was placed on the carved small wooden table between them, this umbrella was a fourteenth birthday gift from Princess Jinghua to Ye Xiyue, the umbrella bone was a bone of a dragon in the East China Sea, the oil paper was not oil paper, but the skin of the dragon, and the ink plum blossom on the umbrella surface was Princess Jinghua's ink treasure.
Princess Jinghua said gently: "Why did you come to the capital? "It's not condemnation, it's not complaining, it's as easy as saying common things.
She knew that Ye Xiyue actually sneaked down from Fangcun Mountain, so she didn't have any money, so she had to go to Izumo Temple to collect debts.
"This year's birthday...... You didn't come," Ye Xiyue looked down at the reflection of the tea soup in the jade teacup in her hand, and said in a voice that tried to calm down, "Also, I don't want to be kept in the dark by you for the rest of my life." β
No one will be kind to a person for no reason, let alone sixteen years of love. She once thought about whether this beautiful sister surnamed Bai was a young lady from a big family, and she was a child who was fostered in the mountains, but she didn't expect reality to give her such a big surprise, she was the daughter of the empress, and the beautiful sister was the princess of the largest big family in the world.
"A-Niang is very worried about you," Princess Jinghua said, "On the day I sent you to Fangcun Mountain, A-Niang was preparing to launch a coup d'Γ©tat, entrusting you to the nurse alone, which was very unsafe." β
And now too. A-Niang became the empress, she seemed to be a princess, and those former ministers of the former dynasty and the court were still ready to move over the years, and if they were not careful, they would be in the abyss of no return.
I originally planned to wait for the situation to stabilize a little more and weaken the power of the four great families before taking her back. Who would have thought that she would come alone so soon, which scared her and A-Niang.
The wind blew, and the jade beads on the bead curtain collided, making a crisp and small sound.
"A-Niang said, if you are willing to restore the title of princess, she will immediately announce it to the world," Princess Jinghua looked at the girl who was silent worriedly, and tried to ask, "There is also the princess's mansion, which is also prepared for you in advance, are you willing?" β
Ye Xiyue shook her head gently, she looked into Princess Jinghua's eyes and said, "I just want to come and see you." β
She only has the gratitude for giving birth to her biological mother who she has never met, and she doesn't have too many feelings. Raising grace is greater than giving birth, what she really thinks is her own relative, is the woman in blue on Fangcun Mountain who has a cold expression, but will be very gentle and gentle to sing a little song to her, and the sister in front of her who gave her a birthday gift.
β¦β¦
Shangguan Qiushuang said with emotion: "I didn't expect you to lean on such a big mountain. β
Shen Nanshan said helplessly: "Backer? I'm going to be crushed to death by this mountain! Along the way, leading the way, fighting, finding someone to stay, one-stop service? was also chased all the way by Gu Changge's madman! β
Shangguan Qiushuang glanced at him and said, "You still haven't given up on 'it'?" β
Shen Nanshan said lightly: "That's right." β
"Her Majesty the Empress is very interested in your plan," Shangguan Qiushuang clasped his hands and said in a low voice, "But it is not easy to bring down a family, let alone a family in the capital." β
Although she is not a member of one of the four major families, she was born in a famous family in the past, and she is very aware of the complex relationships and deep roots between those families, which are not easy to tear down like a big tree.
Shen Nanshan coughed and said, "You still have to have dreams."
Shangguan Qiushuang ignored him and went upstairs. Suddenly, Princess Jinghua was holding Ye Xiyue in one hand, and Shangguan Qiushuang came down from upstairs behind her, and stopped in front of Shen Nanshan: "You are Shen Nanshan?" β
Shen Nanshan is usually very presumptuous when he mentions the royal family, but now in front of the real person, he still has to bow down and say, "I've seen the princess." "I always feel cold in my back, something is wrong.
Princess Jinghua smiled and said: "The affairs in this palace are busy, and there are many inconvenient places, so I ask Shen Gongzi to 'take care' of my little sister more." β
Shen Nanshan replied "yes" respectfully on the surface, gritted his teeth in his heart, and scolded the royal family surnamed Bai from the ancestors to the princes with the dirtiest swear words.
He's really not right with the royal family!
Because she was worried that Prince Shun would continue to attack Ye Xiyue, and there was a flying swordsman Gu Changge outside, Princess Jinghua let the two of them temporarily live in Shangguan Qiushuang's small building.
At dinner that night, Shangguan Qiushuang called someone to call a table of good dishes. Shen Nanshan picked up a lobster with chopsticks and sighed: "Why is it that when I usually come, I only have a bowl of soy sauce bibimbap and no big fish and meat?" β
Shangguan Qiushuang said lightly: "Because this meal is counted on your head."
Ye Xiyue was very faceless, and laughed out loud.
Shen Nanshan's black line said angrily: "What? β
Shangguan Qiushuang kindly raised the volume for him: "The princess said, all the expenses of His Royal Highness will be borne by you!" β
When Shen Nanshan was about to soar into the sky with anger points, she slowly added: "The princess will compensate you in the future." β
