Return to the capital (X) (M)

Xinjie nodded: "The orchid has been in for so long, and it has been dormant because it has not smelled the smell of what it is about to attack." When the Queen Mother approached just now, it may not have moved because of the faint smell, but later when the Queen Mother turned around and straightened her dress, the smell on your body was transmitted and activated it. ”

"So it's familiar with the breath of the Queen Mother?" The queen frowned, could it be that there are people around the queen mother?

"Not necessarily, maybe it's familiar with the incense that the Queen Mother often uses to take care of her clothes." The masters of the palace had their own preferences, and liked to use different incense or mix several incense incense to smoke their clothes. Some of these incense incense are the same as the incense that is burned daily in your own palace, and some are different. The Empress Dowager Chen belongs to the latter category. The palace has a permanent servant, so it's easier to get started there.

"It seems that there are a lot of loopholes in the palace." Chen mural said softly.

Lan hurriedly pleaded guilty, but scolded Xinjie in his heart. This harem, although the queen mother is in charge of major events, but the daily palace affairs, all kinds of supplies and sweeping, etc., were handed over to the queen mother as early as after the emperor's wedding. has been a queen for more than 20 years, and she was so accused by the queen mother, and she was indignant.

Chen mural looked at the queen with low eyebrows, and said again: "But there are many people in the palace, this person is the most difficult to control, and people's hearts are changing all the time, and it is not easy for the queen to take care of the daily life of so many people." Fortunately, I have nothing to do with my wife today, so the queen will try to check it out. Whatever you can find is what you want, not far-fetched, and not to implicate the innocent. Now the emperor is not in good health, and he focuses on the overall situation. ”

This is a knock on the queen, don't take this opportunity to fight dissidents. Even the new Jielan family dared to do it, this is the big crime of murdering the Queen Mother, it's not easy for her to recruit a few people to enter? How many big things are to be busy now, This is to warn the queen not to provoke herself in trouble. She said that she should have beaten it, but it just depends on whether the queen has this understanding.

Without hesitation, the queen said quickly: "The courtier-in-law understands. "She originally wanted to take advantage of this to take Concubine Chen, Luo Meiren and Huang Meiren all at once. The old woman opened her mouth, and it was inconvenient to do it.

Chen Mural looked at her again, and then at Xinjie: "That's it, the queen sent someone to investigate, Pingluan Pavilion has several major foreign affairs to deal with recently, and there is a shortage of manpower, so there is no need to take over this case." ”

Yiyi frowned: "Imperial Grandmother, this poisonous snake is not an ordinary thing at first glance, and the queen mother is only afraid that there is no human hand to deal with it." It's better to let the people from the Inner Chamberlain come. "He knew his mother, and in the name of being good for him, always thought too much, his heart was too big, and he didn't want the queen to go too far.

"The queen is in charge of the six palaces, and the case in the palace has the right to dispatch the inner chamberlain, and you can also let the people from the criminal department take action, no matter how bad it is, there are still palace guards in charge, why is there no one to say?" Chen Mural interrupted him: "The prince is the most filial person, I am afraid that your mother will be tired, this imperial grandmother understands, It is the queen's duty to take care of the affairs in the palace, not to mention that in this case, some important things have to be shared by our own people." If you don't have anything else to do here today, come with Xinjie to your father's place to say goodbye. ”

Yi Heng waited in the south study until the sun was west, and there was no big movement in the harem. After holding the lamp, he impatiently packed his things and prepared to go back to his prince's mansion. When I passed by the cabinet courtyard, I saw that Qi Feng's office was still lit. He sometimes wondered if the Great Zhou didn't have this Lord Qi, what would happen to the imperial court? What will happen to the high Queen Mother? And that ability to control the front and back harems so well? But maybe it's because Lord Qi is too capable, so he seems to be stupid as his father. That's it, these are all things to think about in the future, he shook his head and walked towards the palace gate.

Yi Heng sat in the carriage and swayed on the road, listening to the eunuch beside him talk about all kinds of news he got today. A burst of fragrance wafted into the car, which he had never encountered on the way home, and he couldn't help but lift the curtain and look outside. Outside, Chengxiang Street is still the same as in the past, the vendors are busy cleaning up the stalls in front of the door, or the front boards, and there are only a few food sellers, still waiting for the evening diners. Among the shops, there are a lot of people coming in and out to decorate and decorate, this is a new shop, and it looks like it is preparing to open in the near future. The door next door is also very new, it seems to have just opened in the past few days, and a middle-aged woman is watching the two small servants on the door panel. This woman's face was white and pure, her dress was simple and decent, and her face was still charming. The plaque on the shop reads Yi Xin Zhai. The door panel blocked the shelves inside, and he couldn't see the goods clearly, Yi Heng asked curiously: "What is this Yixinzhai selling?" ”

The eunuch next to him was stunned, he really didn't care: "The slave went and asked." After that, he jumped out of the carriage without getting into the carriage and stopping. Yi Heng shook his head, this Hu Hai is good at everything, but he is impatient. He told the carriage to stop, and he got out of it himself, and walked slowly down the street in the direction of Yi Xin Zhai. The more I walked towards Yixinzhai, the more stable the sweet fragrance became. There were all kinds of expensive spices in the palace, but none of them made him smell so comforting. When Hu Hai saw his master getting out of the car and coming, he stopped on the side of the road and waited for him.

Just when the master and servant were still a dozen steps away from the door, a carriage stopped at the gate of Yixinzhai. The middle-aged woman who was looking at the door panel saw it and quickly walked to the car to greet her. A woman came out of the car, dressed in light purple, with black hair like clouds, and a pair of delicate eyebrows. A pair of discerning eyes, when he saw the middle-aged woman, he greeted him kindly, and bent slightly. Even if the veil obscures the rest of the face, these eyes are enough to shock people. Yi Heng felt that he had the feeling of sinking into the light of his eyes in an instant, and he just wanted to indulge further, but he didn't want to come out.

The people who came were a little surprised to see Yi Heng, and the middle-aged woman was also aware of it, and looked at Yi Heng. Yi Heng smiled slightly, and stepped forward: "The two of you are bothered, It's just that the carriage passed by here just now and smelled a special aroma, I passed by here before, I haven't seen this shop, I was curious for a while, and I came to take a look, I hope you don't mind." ”

The woman in purple didn't make a sound, just simply bowed her head and stood aside. The middle-aged woman was very sophisticated, and greeted with a dignified smile: "If the guest officer likes it, you can go into the store and have a look, the small shop Yixinzhai has just opened, * All kinds of spices, piano utensils and the four treasures of the study." ”

Saying that, he hurriedly gestured to stop the little guy on the door panel, and quickly took two steps to lead the way in front: "If the guests like this fragrance, you can take a look, today here is the smoked Muli incense specially made by our store." ”

Yi Heng didn't move, but stood there and looked back at the woman in purple and asked, "The girl also came to the store to buy something?" ”

The woman in purple didn't speak, and the middle-aged woman saw her nodding slightly, so she came over again and answered with a smile: "This young lady is a distinguished customer in the store." Shun'er, come on, take the girl to the private room in the backyard. As he spoke, he helped the woman in purple: "The girl will go to the elegant room with Shun'er first, and I will come after entertaining the guests." ”

The woman in purple nodded slightly, and walked towards the store. The body is graceful, as if it is as elegant as a fairy. Yi Heng suddenly took half a step ahead: "This girl, since she is here to see the goods, it is better to be in the next place, although I like these spices and the like, but I don't understand, I guess the girl can advise me for one or two?" ”

The woman in purple didn't speak, just glanced at him and walked into the store. Neither followed Shun'er to the elegant room inside, nor did he take care of Yiheng's appearance, but walked from this shelf to that shelf. Yi Heng was cheeky and kept following, whether to ask what this is, what that is, whether this is good, whether that is good, but he has not received an answer. The woman in purple looked only at herself, and ignored him. Yi Heng is not angry, and has been following. It was Hu Hai beside him who was angry, although his prince was not the prince, but he was also one of the most noble people in the capital. And His Royal Highness is handsome, there are many boudoir women in the capital who like him, when did he talk to a woman so lowly, Seeing that the master did not get a response, his face became darker and darker.

The middle-aged woman has a black line, This prince's clothes are not ordinary people at first glance, The entourage next to him looks like it is in the palace, and this business has just opened for two days and I don't want to cause trouble. As soon as she thought about how to open her mouth to make a round, she saw that the woman in purple had already turned to the counter with the guqin, and with a stroke of her hand, a string of pleasant sounds jumped out.

"Sister Hua, the pianos in your store are all of the highest quality, there is a lot of rain in spring, and it is easy to damp, so it is better to store the strings a little looser."

As soon as she spoke, her voice was as soft and pleasant as a stream, not hurried, not sharp, not artificial, pure with a kind of peace. Yi Heng was stunned for a moment, as if he had heard this voice somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while. Such a beautiful voice, he should not forget it.

The middle-aged woman known as Sister Hua hurriedly agreed: "Okay, okay, thanks to the girl's reminder." These pianos were tried by a few guests in the afternoon, maybe the guy didn't tune it loose enough. ”

The woman in purple didn't stop, just nodded slightly, walked towards the door, and said softly, "Sister Hua, let's greet the other guests first, I'll go back first." With that, he walked out the door.

Yi Heng was still stunned, and only then did he react at this moment, and immediately chased out of the store: "The girl stays, the girl seems to be a master of this piano music, I don't know if there is a fate to get acquainted with him?" ”

But the woman in purple ignored him and got into the car. He wanted to go further, but the coachman of the woman in purple stopped him: "This son, my young lady doesn't like people you don't know to disturb." No matter what Yi Heng's expression was, he got in the car and left.

Hu Hai followed all the way, because of the master's face, he didn't dare to make a mistake, but he was angry in his heart, so he gave the guard next to his carriage a look, and the guard followed the carriage smartly. Here, Yi Heng turned to Sister Hua: "Shopkeeper, which young lady was this just now?" ”
