Chapter 50: Entering the Palace
"What's that girl's identity?" After Bai Ze entered the Qingliangshui Pavilion, the first thing King Dingnan asked was not Tian Qi, but Tang Lu'er.
Bai Ze was slightly stunned, glanced at King Dingnan before saying: "It's an islander on Xingqi Island, she happened to take the Chen family's boat that day, and she escaped by luck when she was in trouble, but she met Tian Qi because of this." ”
King Dingnan shook his head and said, "What is he doing with a burden, it seems that he is still very tightly protected, which is not normal." ”
"I heard that the girl has some friendship with the girl of the Chen family, maybe she has something to do with the Chen Mansion." Bai Ze said, and added, "After all, the old lady Chen is the brother of the queen mother, and the one surnamed Tian is still hiding in other thoughts, and the prince must think about it." Now is the time when the storm is about to rise, in case someone catches something bad......"
The little emperor in the temple in Beijing has grown up, and since the war on the Northern Qi side last year, the regent has suffered defeat, and his henchmen who remain in Beijing are being cut off one by one by the little emperor. If the regent can come back, it will be fine, if he can't, then the day will definitely change. The king of Dingnan and the regent have a deep relationship, but because they are far away from Beijing, and there is no handle in the hands of others for the time being, or maybe the little emperor can't spare his hands at the moment, so it looks calm at present. It's just that the will of heaven is unpredictable, and it is always inevitable to take precautions.
Therefore, at this moment, Bai Ze had to wake up King Dingnan, if it was discovered that King Dingnan had dealings with pirates at this juncture, the consequences would be unimaginable. Bai Ze sounded like everything was for the sake of King Dingnan at this time, but in fact, it was a stumbling block for Tian Qi, he really didn't know what Tian Qi's real purpose was when he came to King Dingnan, and he had no intention of knowing, anyway, no matter what it was, he didn't want to make the other party feel better. If it hadn't been agreed before, he wouldn't have had to hint like this at all, and he would have left seven points of leeway.
It's just that what Bai Ze didn't expect was how attractive the conditions that Tian Qi had just proposed with King Dingnan were to King Dingnan. Moreover, even if he takes 10,000 steps back, even if the regent and his party are really powerless, even if the little emperor really wants to make a move against the Yang family, even if the collection of essays that Tian Qi said is just a bait, as long as he has a complete Xiangtian map in his hand...... King Dingnan believed that as long as he presented this picture to the little emperor, he would be able to avoid the great disaster of the Yang family, and even if he was no longer prominent, he would still be able to retain his wealth.
Tian Qi's identity is very relieved, this person has begun to secretly show favor to him three years ago, but at that time, the two sides have not really reached the level of interest exchange. And this time, the other party came to him, and he was not surprised. Since King An Yuan cut off the head of the big boss of the Xinghai Gang last year and hung it high on the watchtower to show the world, he knew that the other party would come to him one day. It's just that to his surprise, the other half of the Xiangtian Diagram and even the Wenjin Collection actually let Tian Qi get his hands on it, and this person also brought such a big gift.
Right now, what Tian Qi sent him was a double-edged sword, which was dangerous and tempting, but after weighing it, the benefits still outweighed the disadvantages.
After Bai Ze came out of the Qingliang Water Pavilion, he stood on the corridor with a fan and looked at the Jinyu leisurely coming and going under the water, and after a while, he walked away from there and began to investigate Tang Lu'er's identity in detail.
On that day's Douxiang Meeting, King Dingnan never showed up, but the first three days of the Douxiang Meeting were just a small test, and King Dingnan didn't have to be there. However, on this day, everyone who came to Phoenix Terrace was well received, and Tang Lu'er naturally followed the light, and it was a big light.
The sun set, the moon came out, I took a fragrant soup comfortably, enjoyed the beauty massage with peace of mind, and finally changed into a shisha blue tunic skirt that I don't know whether it was silk or satin. After serving her and getting dressed, Feiyan also gave her three taels of silver and a penny of rose head oil, helped her comb a noble ingot, and also inserted a golden crested hairpin with silk beads for her.
Tang Lu'er looked at the golden crested hairpin in the mirror in a daze, and said in her heart that this is real money, why don't you make it clearer, is this borrowed from her, or is it directly given to her? This thing has to be bought outside, at least it has to be worth twenty taels, obediently, this palace is not ordinary, she followed it in and really followed it.
"Girl, do you need a slave to help you put on some rouge?" After Feiyan helped her plug in the golden hairpin, she opened the rouge gouache box next to her and asked, when this girl spoke, the voice was naturally sticky and glutinous, which made people's hearts soften by three points when they heard it.
"No, no, what are you wiping at night, you've worked hard." Tang Lu'er came back to her senses, hurriedly put away the coveting look in her eyes, and replaced it with a silly smile.
"If the girl has no other orders, the slave and maid will retire first." Feiyan put down the rouge box in her hand and bowed slightly, but when she was about to withdraw, Tang Lu'er hurriedly stopped her and asked, "Dare to ask my sister, are these things specially used by guests in the house, or are they ......?"
Feiyan raised her eyes and smiled: "This is what Mrs. Liu asked me to bring to the girl, Mrs. Liu said, if the girl still needs anything, please feel free to speak." ”
"Mrs. Liu?" Tang Lu'er was a little stunned, where did another Mrs. Liu appear? In the afternoon, after she entered the palace with Tian Qi, the two were placed in different places to eat, drink and Lazar. She didn't know where Tian Qi was taken, but now she only knew that the place she was led into was called Cuiyuxuan, and I heard that this small courtyard was originally the residence of a concubine of a certain king in Dingnan. Just a few days ago, the concubine moved her nest due to promotion, and there was no reserve army to supplement this place for the time being, so she was arranged here. Tang Lu'er didn't know whether this matter was in line with the rules, but she was a little puzzled by the sudden appearance of Mrs. Liu, who cared about herself.
Feiyan said with a smile: "This Jade Xuan was originally Mrs. Liu's place, and she only came to Xuexiangyuan a few days ago, and after the girl came in, Mrs. Liu arranged the girl here, and let the slave maid serve the girl." ”
Tang Lu'er suddenly said in her heart, it turns out that Mrs. Liu is the little concubine who was promoted, and I don't know what grade of concubine she is now......
"Does the girl have any other orders?" Seeing that Tang Lu'er didn't squeak, Feiyan hesitated for a moment and asked again.
"Oh, no." Tang Lu'er came back to her senses and shook her head, but as soon as the words came out, she stopped the maid and said, "By the way, wait a minute, that, in the afternoon, the son surnamed Tian who entered the mansion with me, do you know where he was arranged?" Will you lead me to him? ”
Feiyan showed a little embarrassment on her face: "This, the place where the male guest lives is a little far away from the backyard, and now the sky is dark, the girl has a lot of inconvenience in the past at this time, can the girl wait until tomorrow." But if the girl really has something, she can say a message, and I will help the girl find someone to send to Tian Gongzi. ”
"You can't walk around when it's dark." Tang Lu'er muttered a little disappointed, and said in her heart, looking at it, how did it feel like being under house arrest. And in this case, how can she inquire about the blood vine flower, obediently, but don't pay for herself without doing anything, then it will be a big loss.
"If there's nothing else to do girl...... Feiyan said again.
"Okay, you can go about your business." Tang Lu'er waved her hand helplessly, and after watching Feiyan withdraw, she had no intention of looking at the decorations in this room. She got up and walked around the room a few times, and after hearing no sound outside, she opened the door and walked out.
Cuiyuxuan is relatively large for a large palace, its area is very small, the lower corridor waist is manback, and the eaves above are high pecked, although it is exquisite, but it is not gorgeous enough, but for Tang Lu'er, it is already regarded as Tiangong Yaochi. And tonight's starry sky is very charming, the air is still faintly scented with flowers, and there is a glass lamp hanging in the corridor every few steps, and each one is lit, and the bright and brilliant light overflows like water.
Tang Lu'er stood against the pillar for a while, felt that her legs were a little weak, looked left and right, then lifted her skirt, sat down on the railing at once, and then moved her two legs up, then hugged her hands in front of her chest, pulled up her skirt, exposed her ankles, raised her legs, raised her face and looked at the stars above her head and sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity, such a beautiful night, such a starlight under the moon before the flowers, we are alone." ”
Coincidentally, before she said this, a figure came over there.
