Chapter 37 Dignitaries
The people outside the window didn't move, and finally left without saying a word. She is a subordinate, and she should be punished for doing something wrong, Xiao Huaijin doesn't understand why she cares if she is angry?
Walking on the stone road back to the East Courtyard, Xiao Huaijin always felt a little angry, and Liang Coo's persuasion: "Lord Wang, Wanxiang knows the overall situation and will not be angry with the prince because of this matter." ”
"The king knows." Xiao Huaijin knows everything, but in her heart, she feels that she is a little too concerned about Wanxiang, if she continues like this, how can she be willing to ask her to go out and work hard in the future?
So Xiao Huaijin muttered in his heart: It's just that his knee hurts for a few days, and it's not a big deal.
But Wanxiang was not as squeamish as Xiao Huaijin thought, and got up as usual the next day, standing in the yard and stretching hard.
The blue sky is like washing, the wood is fragrant, and there are two magpies standing on the rockery, which is good unconsciously. It's so good that Wanxiang almost forgot about last night's punishment.
Qi'er sat on the side to teach Aunt Ruan to read, and when she saw Wanxiang coming out, she leaned over: "The girl has been very sleepy lately, and she didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning, and she didn't know that she thought the girl was sick." ”
"You see that I can eat and drink every day, where do I feel sick?"
Qi'er put down the book in her hand and came to Wanxiang's side, and whispered to her: "I heard early this morning that the princess left the southern courtyard and went to the palace with the prince to say goodbye. ”
Ling Zhao used the power of the Empress Dowager to get out of the South Courtyard, and Wanxiang was not afraid of her talking nonsense.
Because the palace is different from the palace, the vermilion palace wall is so high and thick, and even the young branches of Tucui dare not grow wantonly, Ling Zhao naturally knows that if he says something wrong, he will harm Xiao Huaijin, and it is likely to affect himself.
On the same day, King Yi was also summoned to the palace to ask for peace, and sitting with the other three people, Xiao Huaijin could only smile hypocritically.
"The imperial brother who investigated the grievances of the Yucheng prefect before, the imperial brother will not still hold a grudge against me in his heart, right?"
"Naturally, the things that the emperor explained can't be ambiguous, so it can't be regarded as being wronged, so why do you have a grudge?"
"That's good, there just happened to be something I wanted to ask the imperial brother for, the imperial brother should not be stingy."
"Did you see anything good last time you searched the Nanwang Mansion?" Xiao Huaijin squinted at him, and King Yi smiled grimly: "It's not a good thing, it's the little girl next to the imperial brother." ”
As soon as she heard that it was Wanxiang, Xiao Huaijin squeezed the teacup tightly, and listened to the Queen Mother above and asked, "What little girl?" ”
"The queen mother didn't know that there was a capable little girl beside the royal brother, and on the seventeenth day of the first month, she snatched a gold under the bell tower, and she was so handsome that the imperial city couldn't find a few. I still wonder where the royal brother got the treasure. ”
"Really? Is there really such a person? ”
"It's not comparable to the lady in the emperor's palace, but it's also a superb in the end. So I want to ask the royal brother to be a concubine, I don't know if the imperial brother is reluctant? ”
"Nothing is more important than brotherhood, royal harmony." The cup put down by the Empress Dowager was like a favor to King Yi: "Jin'er, what do you say?" ”
Xiao Huaijin smiled: "What the queen mother said is true." Erchen should not be stingy, but the servant girl was dealt with a few days ago for the following crimes, and such a disaster naturally cannot be sent to the Pingnan Palace. ”
"Disposed of? How to dispose of it? King Yi asked closely.
Xiao Huaijin took a sip of tea and thought in his heart: "Punish kneeling, kneel until your legs are wasted." ”
"Scrapped? Legs are wasted?! That's a shame. When he said this, King Yi deliberately glanced at Ling Zhao, but Ling Zhao just drank tea and didn't dare to talk more.
King Yi thought for a while and suddenly said again: "Even if the leg is wasted, the person is still good." It's also in vain for the imperial brother to raise her, so it's better to give it to me, and I will raise it for the imperial brother. ”
King Yi really doesn't leave room for anyone, and shows a kind of love in front of the Queen Mother, and it seems that he will not give up if he doesn't get the incense.
And even if Xiao Huaijin talks dry, he can't compromise in front of the Queen Mother: "Be an elder brother and give something to his younger brother, and give it back to a cripple, is there such a reason for the queen mother?"
This person is really not good for you, so I will choose some good ones and send them to your house in the future. I also said what I liked. ”
"That's all I want."
"A dignified prince, you want such a crippled girl with a dead face? You're not afraid of people looking at jokes, I have to take care of face. I don't know, think I'm so stingy. The queen mother said yes or no? ”
The Empress Dowager couldn't stand it, and felt that these two people were arguing very loudly: "Okay, what do you want in private, and this noisy and noisy will cause a headache for the mourning family." ”
King Yi is honest, and it's not good to pester Xiao Huaijin to ask for incense.
When it was time to go back, Ling Zhao sat on the horse alone and waited for Xiao Huaijin, who was suddenly called by the emperor, and felt upset because King Yi didn't ask for the incense.
I heard someone outside the curtain suddenly ask: "Is the incense really wasted?" ”
As soon as Ling Zhao heard the voice, he knew that it was King Yi, and replied in a low voice: "Why is the prince willing to call her useless?" In the face of the queen mother, I told her to kneel before me for a few hours, and this morning she was alive again. ”
"Really? He deceived his mother. ”
"I don't dare to turn against him now, let's not know."
"You don't want to turn your face with him? He was really an infatuated person. ”
"A woman in the Central Plains marries a husband, and even if I marry to the Central Plains, I naturally can't disobey it. Besides, even if he is really willing to give, he may not be able to hold it by King Yi. ”
"Imperial sister-in-law, if you don't put such pressure on him, how can you get Wanxiang away from him?"
"Then find a way to kill her."
"You live with her in Pingnan Mansion every day, but you are trying to kill her?"
Ling Zhao was speechless when he was sitting in the car and was scolded by King Yi, so he heard the people outside continue to whisper: "You want to kill her for a day or two, isn't it still fruitless?" Brother Ling and I have the same thoughts, we both want to achieve the great cause of the imperial brother, but the imperial brother himself is not motivated......"
"Put these words in your heart later, and don't say them again."
King Yi looked up and just saw Xiao Huaijin not far away, and hurriedly left before Xiao Huaijin saw him.
Hiding in the dark and seeing Xiao Huaijin's car drive away, King Yi came out, what he thought about was very simple, get the incense away from Xiao Huaijin, so that it would be much easier to calculate Xiao Huaijin in the future.
And King Yi, who failed to achieve his goal several times, looked a little anxious at the moment, he never thought that Ling Zhao, who was snubbed by Xiao Huaijin, was unwilling to cooperate with him against Xiao Huaijin's wishes.
This can't help but make people feel curious, Xiao Huaijin has something worth working for him, and Ling Zhao is not willing to turn his face with him.
……
It was hot in summer, and the curtains on the carriage were also replaced with tulle, and the strong sunlight hit Xiao Huaijin's face, which also looked very soft.
Ling Zhao sat in the car and didn't dare to talk to Xiao Huaijin, for fear of missing his plan and King Yi's plan.
As long as Xiao Huaijin is willing to rebel, his brother's entrustment can be easily realized, he is the queen of the Central Plains mother, his children are the kings of the Central Plains, and the glory of the mother's family and the future of her husband are all won by herself.
But this matter is not in a hurry, and the incense must disappear first.
Ling Zhao is not in a hurry, but King Yi is in a hurry. He was even so anxious that he ran to the Pingnan Mansion within two days, stayed for a long time under the pretext of Xiao Huaijin's tea, and walked to the backyard of the Yiwang Mansion.
Standing at the base of the wall outside the south courtyard, King Yi learned a few bird calls, and it didn't take long for someone to come out. Seeing that the person who came was not Ling Zhao, he was a little unhappy, and he didn't even want to look at the little girl more: "What? Princess Pingnan's shelf is so big? Don't you want to see this king? ”
"His Royal Highness King Yi, the princess said that the house is full of eyes, and it is really not suitable to see each other. It is the same with a slave or maid when something is entrusted. ”
King Yi hooked the corners of his mouth and looked the person up and down, and suddenly sneered: "How can a cheap maid be compared to Princess Pingnan?"
Moreover, this king does not know whether you are a reliable person or not. But you're pretty little looking, are you from southern Xinjiang? ”
It's not enough to look at it, and you have to touch someone's face when you reach out. Fortunately, at this time, Ling Zhao came out and called King Yi: "Are you looking for me?" ”
"I thought you wouldn't come out, sister-in-law."
"How can you find me under the noses of Xiao Huaijin and Wanxiang?!"
"Ayaka knows I'm coming, so it's lame at this moment. Brother Huang is busy looking for paintings in the study, what are you afraid of? ”
Here, Aunt Ruan was going to get the ice that Xiao Huaijin specially left for the incense, and she happened to pass by the small pond in the backyard, and when she walked in the corridor, she saw a figure behind the big tree.
Seeing that it was Ling Zhao talking to a man, Aunt Ruan couldn't help but get closer. Ling Zhao was just about to speak, but King Yi stretched out his finger to his lips to signal silence, and he seemed to hear someone approaching.
