Chapter 182: Net
Wanxiang looked at Xiao Huaijin blankly, in such a short time, he even thought so carefully, he just ran to the general's mansion in a hurry, and actually forgot about it: "Look at you." β
"What's wrong with my husband?"
"If you keep me by your side and take good care of me, my brain will become less and less upset, and my skills will not be as good as before. Once climbed over the wall and walked the tiles like swallows without a trace, today I feel a lot more difficult to climb the wall of the General's Mansion. β
Saying that, Wanxiang took Xiao Huaijin's robe and put it on for him: "How will you do things for the prince in the future?" β
"The princesses and wives of other people are housekeepers in the house, and they walk around with other ladies when they have nothing to do, hold a spring banquet today, hold a poetry meeting tomorrow, or worship the Buddha with incense, or visit the garden to enjoy the flowers.
My princess is good, she is afraid of her husband all day long, and she thinks about fighting and killing every day. β
"So you're disgusted with me?" Wanxiang straightened Xiao Huaijin's cuffs, hugged him and asked, "Then the prince has a good look at which girl?" Qi Yu of Qionghuatai is a virtuous lady, why don't you go and see it? β
Xiao Huaijin raised his hand and pointed at her: "You...... What a little girl. β
"Then does the prince still take me to the Lion Tower?"
Xiao Huaijin stretched out his hand to stop the person in his arms, and when she saw her eyes rolling slightly, she couldn't help poking her forehead: "Of course I want to go, my husband hasn't eaten yet." β
So this night, the car of Pingnan Wangfu drove out of the mansion gate and went straight to the long street. The red lantern in front of the car was very conspicuous, and pedestrians knew that it was Xiao Huaijin's car, so they retreated.
Wanxiang sat in the car and listened to the shouts of the shopkeeper outside, and felt that the life at the moment was quite comfortable, and there was a smile on her face all the way.
Xiao Huaijin led the incense into the Lion Tower, and the shopkeeper inside hurriedly came out to greet him and took Xiao Huaijin upstairs.
Seeing the two of them smiling, the shopkeeper felt like it was the New Year, and hurriedly greeted the little cook: "The two masters of the Pingnan Mansion are eating in our lion building, and they will give me a clever point, dare to make a mistake, be careful about your little life!"
I won't be able to protect you then, don't say I don't care about my feelings! The prince is generous, as long as you do well, one of the people who serve before and after is counted as one, and there will be a reward! β
"Yes!"
Upstairs, Wanxiang easily swallowed the meat in her mouth, and hurriedly spoke to Xiao Huaijin, the first sentence was: "Do you know? Bai Yue's clan actually pulled me tightly and called meβcalled meβto name her son!
Even if the Bai family's house is lonely, Mrs. Yingguo is also talented and learned, and the father-in-law of the Yue family is even more rich and talented! He even asked me to name him! It's enough to lift me up. β
Xiao Huaijin didn't speak, just cared about serving the fragrant vegetables: "Eat slowly, see that you are hungry, drink a sip of wine smoothly." β
Wanxiang pointed at herself: "The ink in my stomach can be described as less than half a bottle!" At that time, I really hated that I didn't listen to you properly, and it was good to read more books and copy more books. β
"Oh?" Xiao Huaijin looked at Wanxiang quite interestingly: "I am very pleased that you can think like this." Since you are so strong, you can't stop your husband. In this way, after I go back, I will personally pick a few cars of books for your husband to copy, and Taoguang will be obscure! β
"Huh?" After listening to Xiao Huaijin's words, Wanxiang almost choked, and hurriedly waved his hand at Xiao Huaijin, and then patted his heart and smoothed down: "I can't help it!" No way! β
"Why? You said it yourself. β
"The prince is really good at getting off the donkey."
"You say that the husband is a donkey?"
"How can a donkey punish people for copying books at every turn?"
"Then you mean, a husband is not as good as a donkey?"
Wanxiang pouted: "I didn't say anything." β
Liang Cuo, who was drinking with Fu Yu on the desk in the distance, muttered quietly: "See? The prince doesn't know what's wrong now, he is so happy to be scolded as a 'donkey'. β
It also depends on who scolded, and he was naturally happy when his sister scolded him. If Brother Liang scolds him, see if he doesn't remove your legs? β
"Why are you happy?"
Fu Yu shook his head: "Brother Liang Cuo, with all due respect, junior brother bluntly said, you are a shrewd and capable person, but you are a wood in the matter of men and women." Even if I break it open and crumple it and tell it to you, you still don't understand. β
"You ......"
Fu Yu grimaced at him, which really made Liang Cuo cry and laugh.
On the side, Xiao Huaijin couldn't help but ask Wanxiang: "Then what name did you give him?" β
"Bai Yue's family said that the son of their generation has been from 'Chu', and I have given the word 'Yi', which is a shining 'Yi'. What does the prince think? β
"Yes, very good. Bai Chuxi, when he heard it, he was the best among people, and he would definitely do something when he grew up. Did the Bai Yue clan and Mrs. Ying Guo use this name? β
Wanxiang nodded again and again: "Yes." Bai Yue's family likes it very much, and Mrs. Ying Guo also said that she will give the family tree when she waits for a hundred days. It's just that not long after General Bai passed away, the full moon wine banquet was not held for the first time. β
"It seems that my princess is not so unlearned, and she can still come up with such a good name."
"Me too...... I also...... I am also learned. β
"Good, good."
The two of them were eating, and the incense seemed to remember something: "But today, I killed Bai Xiuji." β
Xiao Huaijin picked up the handkerchief on the side and wiped the corners of the incense on the side, and intimately brushed the hair on her ears to the back: "Even though Mrs. Yingguo didn't look down on you at the beginning, but she was sensible in the end, today, you saved her grandson desperately, and if he suffers because of this, she will definitely not ignore it." β
"Eliminate the evil, in order to avoid Bai Xiuji's repetition in the future, I will naturally eliminate it for the Bai Yue clan as soon as possible. But the situation was urgent, and there were two lives thrown in the house, and I was so weak that I couldn't wait for an opportunity to assassinate. β
"It doesn't matter. It's just that what happened recently really makes people have to think about it. β
"What does the prince mean is that these trivial and innocuous things recently, which seem to be unintentional but are actually intentional?"
Xiao Huaijin nodded: "The three rooms of the Bai family have always been peaceful, and the heirs of these three houses are not many and weak, they should be in the same spirit, why would he poison Bai Xiuzi's children?" β
"The title of the long house should have nothing to do with the second room, is it because of all kinds of furniture in the field shop of the long house?"
Xiao Huaijin waved his hand, picked up the white jade and gold-inlaid wine cup next to his hand and said: "Then do you know that Erfang once said that he has many grandsons and wants to succeed one to Bai Xiuzi, but Mrs. Ying Guo said that she didn't want anything." At that time, I didn't know that Bai Yue was pregnant. β
"Would you rather die than have a child in the second room? It seems that these two have never been peaceful, but they look harmonious and beautiful on the surface. But why?
If they really don't want to leave this child in the long house, why didn't they have a seizure earlier, but waited for the delivery to be close to the end of the day? β
Suddenly thinking of this, the chopsticks with gilded mandarin ducks on the tail of Juanxiang's hand stopped, and she really couldn't understand these things.
Xiao Huaijin said in a low voice: "I asked Liang to check it, and the root cause of the old grudge more than ten years ago is still in the palace. β
"Maybe it's because the Bai family is in a high position, and Emperor Zhao has already left a backup hand to deal with the Bai family more than ten years ago, and buried gunpowder in the Bai family's backyard in case of emergency."
After listening to Wanxiang's words, Xiao Huaijin asked again: "Then why have you been safe and sound, but you just waited for Bai Xiuzi's death when the Bai family's room was lonely?" β
"Then ......" Wanxiang lowered her eyes and thought for a while: "Perhaps, it's not what Emperor Zhao meant at all?" It won't be the meaning of the first emperor, and it won't be your meaning. β
Xiao Huaijin looked at Wanxiang and pondered for a long time, and she suddenly raised her head: "Or, this is a net, a net that has been sunk in the water for more than ten years." The person who laid the net thinks it's almost the same, and it's time to close the net? β
Previously, Liang Cuo also said that it was common to see a woman with a long hat dangling on the outer wall of the palace. I hope all this is just us thinking too much. β
"If it is the same as we speculated, this net has caught the Bai family, the Taishi Mansion, the prince, Xiao Huaihui, the first emperor, and even the late Empress Dowager."
Xiao Huaijin looked at her and nodded, and Wanxiang sighed lightly: "This is the most terrible thing." Whether it's true or not, we must be cautious, walking on thin ice more than before. β
As he spoke, Wanxiang raised his eyes to look at Xiao Huaijin, but he suddenly laughed when he looked at Wanxiang: "Look at your own reverie, how scared you are?" When you faced off against a dozen assassins, you weren't necessarily so panicked. β
"...... you" Seeing that Xiao Huaijin still had the leisure to laugh at herself, Wanxiang couldn't help but knock on the table: "Lord Wang!" I'm serious! You're still making fun of me? β
"Okay, stop laughing. Don't think about it so much, if someone really started planning more than ten years ago, then he has a long plan and can endure it, and he is really the best candidate for the big position. β
"What about Bai Xiuji?"
"You go back tonight and get a good night's sleep, and I'll take care of it."
Wanxiang pursed her lips: "I'm causing trouble for the prince again." β
"I just want you to get into trouble, if you don't get into a few troubles and leave it for me to clean up, how useless will I be? What do women need men to do? β
For Xiao Huaijin, a Bai Xiuji is not much trouble. In the end, the Bai family relied on the old lady of the long house, and the people in the long room came out to speak, and the right and wrong could be distinguished, and it was easy to calm down.
After returning from the Lion Tower, Wanxiang leaned on Xiao Huaijin's side and slept well, as usual, without waiting for Wanxiang to wake up Xiao Huaijin went to the court to 'quarrel' with someone.
When the incense got up, it was already three poles in the sun, and when she was sleeping and dressing up, she was also vague, Qiu Di looked at the incense in the bronze mirror and couldn't help laughing: "How much wine did the princess drink yesterday?"
The night passed, and there was still a slight smell of wine. β
"Is there one?" Wanxiang sniffed herself, but didn't smell anything: "Xu is really drunk." β
"The general's mansion has a little son, the princess is happy, and the prince is happy. In the morning, I also asked someone to make a pair of golden locks, and I listened to it, saying that I would keep it and ask the princess to send it when the little prince of the General's Mansion was 100 days old. β
Wanxiang raised her hand and scratched her forehead: "He has a heart." But now that I'm staying in the palace all day, I'm a little bit of a sleeper. β
"The princess is in Hengliang's hometown, far away. I believe that Bai Ning Hou will follow her and will definitely take care of her. β
"yes." Wanxiang pursed her lips and said: "Hengliang is far away, it takes two months for the carriage and horses to travel, and it takes more than a month for the horses to speed up." The mountains and rivers are long and the mountains are high, and the world is not peaceful, I am afraid that she will not be able to come back once in a few years. β
"I really don't know why Bai Ninghou would give up the wealth of the imperial city and go to such a place."
Wanxiang casually picked up the golden hairpin with a hidden blade next to him, which was also called by Xiao Huaijin to be beaten, and kept it for Wanxiang to defend himself.
The golden hairpin is beautiful and dangerous, just like the incense.
She smiled and said, "Some things seem luxurious and bright, but I don't know that there is a danger hidden in them. The imperial city is naturally rich and bright, and everyone is kind, but there are many people who hide knives in their smiles to do things that hide needles in the cotton.
Jing Jue likes to be quiet, and there is nothing wrong with taking her children to live a leisurely life and return to simplicity. β
"That's what the princess said."
After serving the incense and dressing, Qiu Di went out to pour water with a basin, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he bumped into Liang Cuo, and splashed his face with washing water.
Qiu Di was so frightened that he forgot to pick up the pot, and looked at Liang Cuo's dirty clothes in a panic: "The slave should be damned, I collided with the general, I hope the general will forgive me." β
Liang Cuo raised his eyes, saw those frightened eyes, and did not have a trace of anger in his heart, but asked, "Didn't scare you, did you?" β
