Chapter 9: The Imperial Garden
The Wang court has been courteous to these uneasy and kind guests for several weeks, and it is unknown whether they will scold their mother in their hearts, as long as everyone can get by on face. This year, because of the emergency, they appeared in advance, which shows that the defense of Qingcheng is afraid that they have been ruined into a sieve. This made Zhongzhou Emperor Wang Jun a little unhappy, and the time arranged for Ying Xuan and Ma Cheng was only enough to drink a cup of tea, greeted the elders of the two clans, inquired about the people's livelihood, and sent them out without even giving a seat.
Both of them are juniors, so it doesn't matter if they are slighted, anyway, there is a place where they can save face.
The inner prisoner said with a smile on his face: "The Holy Lord has been worried about state affairs for days, and he is really tired. However, His Royal Highness has ordered someone to hold a banquet in the Linglong Palace, at this time, should the two of them go to His Royal Highness's palace to sit down, or go to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers? ”
Ying Xuan was not interested, and before he could speak, Ma Cheng had already smiled and said: "There are only two of us, but His Highness has three, which is not enough." Why don't the two of us catch up on the old days first, and then go to the banquet together. ”
The inner supervisor nodded: "In this way, the slave leads the way for the two." He turned his back and walked in front, beckoning a small inner supervisor to go back to His Highness.
The two had a big fight yesterday, and today they walked together to enjoy the flowers, and the speed of this change of face is really breathtaking. The inner supervisor never looked back, keeping an appropriate distance so that the two would not be lost, and at the same time he could not hear the conversation between the two.
"Ma Gongzi is so Yaxing." The distribution of flowers and trees in the Imperial Garden is roughly according to the opening season, and at this time, there are only green leaves in the place where you walk, and the peonies in full bloom are still a little far away.
Ma Cheng put his hands behind his back, lazily always half a step ahead: "Don't talk nonsense, see people." Yesterday I was measured, and the Eagle Leader should return the favor. ”
You go eat! Eagle scolded secretly. Squeezed out a little smile and said: "We were half a step ahead of Ma Gongzi, and we didn't have time to confirm whether it was the person we were looking for." After Helan Qin took it away, he said that he had been robbed. ”
"You believe it?" Ma Cheng sneered through his nose.
Of course I didn't believe it, so I went to keep an eye on him. He will go to see people, and he will not escape my eyes! ”
Ma Cheng was very relieved of Yingqiu's ability and did not say anything to ridicule him. He glanced up, and it was now sunny and blue.
"The bullshit celestial phenomenon makes Lao Tzu run to suffer, how can he run a horse at the door of his house!"
When he is not speaking, he has a structured nose, large and bright eyes, thin lips, and a chin with just the right line, and his side face is really impeccable, and he is a handsome young man worth seeing. It's a pity that as soon as he opened his mouth, he made Ying Qiu want to do it.
"The theory of celestial phenomena is ethereal, and the purpose of my Eagle Clan is only to find their own people, as for other ......"
"Heh, that's really shameless!" Ma Cheng is very honest.
Eagle Girl: "Do you have to distinguish the best before the big test!" ”
The Wang's court hall is equipped with a stargazing platform to observe the heavens, and to pray for peace and tranquility in order to conform to the will of heaven. Originally, he was just solving problems for the Wang family, but he didn't want such a relatively isolated yamen to be stared at.
More than ten years ago, there was an obscure small star on the side of the Emperor Star, which was not far away and not close, and was almost completely covered by the glory of the Emperor Star.
Because the location was too close, the director of the observatory did not dare to ignore it, and recorded the matter after it was filed. Over the years, the star has not changed in the slightest, almost negligible. The principal recorded the word "bewildered star" as a marker. Remarks: It is not the main good luck, and the emperor star is safe, and the blessings and disasters are unpredictable.
However, two months ago, the star suddenly emitted a brilliant light that lasted for nearly an hour before dissipating. If it weren't for the stargazing platform, which would be manned every night, almost no one would have noticed.
The stargazing platform did not dare to ignore it, and reacted in a hurry to report to Wang Jun. After Wang Jun gathered several confidants to discuss, he secretly searched for suspicious people near the imperial capital. The focus is on those who have recently approached the imperial capital.
No matter how careful these actions are, they will inevitably be stared at. It must be known that every move of the imperial capital, the eyeliner of the three major families in the imperial capital will be disassembled and crushed for careful analysis, and soon, the "bewildering star" abnormal movement will stir up candles in several mansions in the north and south of the world.
Ying Xuan and Ma Cheng were originally going to participate in the Zhongzhou test, and they immediately moved when they heard the wind, but they just waited for the opportunity outside the imperial capital. I don't want to think a few days ago, suddenly a cloth merchant knocked on the drum outside the yamen of Qingcheng Mansion, saying that he had been robbed of Wanguan's family property and asked the government to seek justice for him.
was robbed by mountain bandits, and most of the people who met him swallowed their anger, but this person seemed to rely on it. After being invited into the yamen for questioning, Yin of Qingcheng Mansion couldn't sit still immediately, and took advantage of the night to go to the door of the prime minister......
Ma Cheng stared at Ying Xuan teasingly, and didn't mind slapping someone in the face at all: "Thinking that you and I know things are similar, I will ask you, you are looking for someone, you haven't looked for someone for more than ten years, why do you want to find it as soon as you move?" ”
"How do you know that we haven't looked for it, but we only found Elder Eagle before, and we can only give up if we can't find it. She is alive, hiding with her ability to hide sincerely, we have no way, we never thought that she would have descendants alive! "What Ying Xuan said is categorical and unquestionable.
Ma Cheng sneered: "This is what Ying Ao said, and his words are willing to be believed by wastes like you." Of course, you murderer weapons trained by Gu cultivators can fight, but you don't need brains. ”
Ying Xuan clenched his fists and took a deep breath: "Young Master Ma, I have always known that Qingcheng regards you and my clan as a wild place where the people are intellectual, if the Ma clan is like this, my Eagle Clan will really be wronged!" ”
"Ha, we're brutal, we're the same on the outside. You are clothed in a splendid skin, and you are doing the same thing as us, and you are too embarrassed to step on us, but are the feathers of birds thicker than the skin of animals? ”
Ying Sui had to admit that this kid's ability was better than Helan Qin's.
Immediately stopped: "Ma Gongzi stays." ”
"If you want to do it, but the gentleman doesn't do it, why don't you lose face?" Ma Cheng is afraid that the world will continue to arch the fire.
Eagle is really itchy with his hands, but it's not easy for him to say this. The inner supervisor who led the way in front vaguely felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and hurriedly returned and shouted: "The two of you have something to say, this garden is not easy to maintain, and it is all transplanted from more than 100 miles away......"
Ying Xuan suppressed his anger and said: "I just thought, there is no oral examination in the Zhongzhou test, which really buries Ma Gongzi's ability and bends the talent." But ......," she smiled, "it's just a matter of entering the palace to face the saint, if there is still a 'wound' in the body during the competition, don't say that I can't win." ”
Her gaze drifted lightly onto the exposed skin under his ear, and a scratch was half exposed.
Her dagger doesn't leave any traces of this.
I'm afraid it was a woman who caught it.
Ordinary officials go to court, and usually water and rice do not dare to enter a few hours ago. Foreign officials faced the saints, and they bathed in Bigu two or three days ago. He is a son of the Ma family, and he is still messing with women on the eve of entering the palace, and his contempt for the Wang court can be seen!
