Zhuang Siyan had already woken up at that time, and he was going to get up, but he was tired everywhere, so he only moved for a moment, and the person lay back again.

But she still heard what was said outside, and now her brain slowly cleared up, so she came to ask Ling Tiancheng.

Ling Tiancheng waited for her to finish eating a bowl of porridge before saying, "Maybe there is some news in Jiafu, let's go over and take a look together in a while." ”

Zhuang Siyan hurriedly said, "Don't you, isn't General Bai also back?" You better stay and deal with his affairs, I have my own measure over there in Jiafu. ”

When she had finished speaking, she stood up, wrapped up her clothes, and went to the side hall.

It's Jia Fu who has replied.

Zhuang Siyan accepted Mrs. Jia's gift, although she didn't say anything at the beginning, she actually gave her a little hope, but after the next night, she suddenly didn't return the gift, and the matter was not done.

The eunuch who went to deliver the message met some cold faces there.

Of course, Jia Fu was not stupid enough to go against Zhuang Siyan, he just said a few unpleasant words, even if this is the case, the little eunuch had to return to Zhuang Siyan truthfully when he came back.

She thought about it too.

Accepting money from others, but not helping others, they want to put it on themselves, and they also want to get that person over, and they can only relieve their hatred by beating them solidly.

Since it was a long-expected result, she didn't say much.

Instead, the eunuch said smartly: "Niangniang, the slave doesn't seem to want to forget about Najia Mansion when he looks at it." ”

Zhuang Siyan let out an "oh" and motioned for him to continue.

The little eunuch said: "When the slave came back, I happened to hear the people of the Jia family say that General Bai was back, and it seems that Lord Jia also went out of the city to greet him." ”

"Lord Jia? Jia Shangshu, or Jia Mingyuan? ”

Little eunuch: "Master Jia." ”

Zhuang Siyan replied "yes" and let him go out first, and then slowly pondered the ins and outs of this matter.

Jia Mingyuan and Bai Heng knew each other.

The two of them were friends of Xu Ning before, and they reused Bai Heng at that time, and thanks to Xu Ning's recommendation, Jia Mingyuan also knew about this.

I heard that Bai Heng was back, and he was going out to see him, which was not a big deal.

But the words of the little eunuch were refused, at that time, the emperor's decree to allow him to enter Beijing had not yet been issued, so why did Jia Mingyuan rush out to meet him?

It was only a day or two before people entered Beijing, and by that time, how many things could not be said, why were they in such a hurry?

Jia Mingyuan himself is not in a hurry, he is in such a hurry to go out, and with the Jia Mansion knowing, it can only be the instructions of the Jia family.

But this matter is a little unclear.

If the Jia family really hides the traitor, they can completely avoid the little eunuchs in the palace and wait for him to leave before doing these things, why bother saying it in front of him?

Taking a step back, in fact, if you don't say it in front of the little eunuch, Zhuang Siyan and Ling Tiancheng will also know.

The capital is so big, the Jia family is the gateway of high-ranking officials, and there are naturally people watching what to do when they go out.

And under Ling Tiancheng's hands, there were also many people who were ventilating outside.

After thinking about it, I always felt that Jiafu's purpose in doing this was a bit deliberately angry with them.

It's the same, there is no way to take the emperor on top, can't you play petty? Anyway, no one explicitly said that it must be a big crime to go out to see the victorious general and return to Beijing.

At this time, news came from outside, saying that General Bai Heng had entered Beijing and would soon enter the palace, and Ling Tiancheng was already waiting for him in the Zichen Palace.

Zhuang Siyan got up and said, "Change clothes, let's go to the front and have a look." ”

Ping'er took her phoenix robe and came out.

Zhuang Siyan: "...... You don't need to hold it so grandly, it's just that it's cold outside, just change it to a thicker one, I am still very familiar with Bai Heng, so I don't need to be so face-saving. ”

If she wants to say that she doesn't save face, then she really doesn't need it, even if she doesn't have a phoenix robe, she is the only queen of the Dasheng Dynasty, which Bai Heng heard before he came back.

I wore a thick cotton suit and added a thick cloak outside, but as soon as I went out, I was blown by the cold wind.

It snowed heavily last night, and it was very cold this morning.

At noon, the sun was probing his brain there, and he should have figured it out, but I don't know if he was afraid of the cold, or what's wrong, anyway, I tried a few times and went back.

Therefore, the temperature has been very low, and the air that comes out of Ha immediately becomes frosty white, and the cold wind is added to the air, like countless knives, scratching over and scraping the skin of people on the outside.

Zhuang Siyan originally shrunk his neck, but when he thought that Bai Heng came back from a place that was ten times colder than here, or even more, he stretched out his neck again.

Just feel the wind, she thought.

Bai Heng was kneeling on the Zichen Hall at this time, and after saluting Ling Tiancheng, he was given tea on the seat.

After returning from the victory, there were naturally many rewards, but before that, Ling Tiancheng wanted to ask about the details of the Northern Barbarian War.

Bai Heng seemed to have thought of this earlier, so he didn't leak a drop of water, and he couldn't find the slightest flaw.

Ling Tiancheng knew that there was a suspicion inside, but he didn't investigate it in detail, he first rewarded some items casually, and told him that when the New Year begins, the ministers will return to the court, and then they will be rewarded together.

Looking at Bai Heng's appearance, he didn't seem to care too much about this, and Long En, who thanked him, was about to get up and leave.

Zhuang Siyan was already outside the door, she didn't rush in when she heard him talk to Ling Tiancheng before, and when he was about to come out, she hurriedly said, "General Bai, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Bai Heng hurriedly knelt down, feeling a little more respectful than seeing Ling Tiancheng, and bowed to Zhuang Siyan.

Zhuang Siyan was used to being casual, even if he was in front of Ling Tiancheng now, he didn't care too much, he reached out and grabbed his arm: "Hurry up, please get up quickly, come back from such a far and cold place, don't engage in these polite things anymore, sit down." ”

Then he asked the palace people around him to go out, and came over with hot tea.

Ling Tiancheng sat on it and didn't move.

Zhuang Siyan didn't see him, and just greeted Bai Heng.

But Bai Heng can't do this, the one above is the emperor, no matter what's on the surface, he can't go beyond the rules.

So he didn't dare to sit, and after drinking a cup of tea in front of Zhuang Siyan, he was about to withdraw.

Zhuang Siyan came to see him, if he was released at this time, he would see him later and have to go to the palace.

But it is really not easy for her to leave the palace once now, even if she goes out, there are a lot of things to do, and she may not have more time to greet Bai Heng.

So as soon as Bai Heng said to leave, she immediately said, "Then I'll send General Bai." ”

Walking from Zichen Hall to the palace gate is a long distance, and there are enough words to say.

And you don't have to be under Ling Tiancheng's nose to say anything.

Bai Heng quietly glanced at it and didn't dare to respond.

Zhuang Siyan said: "The emperor cherishes you very much, and he probably wants to keep you in the palace for a while longer, but you just came back from outside and haven't even seen your own family, so he has to let you go back first, right, right, Your Majesty?" ”

She raised her head and glanced at Ling Tiancheng, who was sitting on top of the main hall with a face as heavy as water, and wanted to use her words to arouse his resonance.

Ling Tiancheng was silent.

Zhuang Siyan played a long time and speculated on the holy will: "Seeing that he acquiesced, let's go, I also want to have a good talk to General Bai." ”

In this way, under Ling Tiancheng's gaze, she sent Bai Heng out.

Out of the door of Zichen Palace, the smile on his face blossomed: "It's been a long time since I went out this time, I've lost a lot of weight, and I'm a lot more handsome, I almost can't recognize you." ”

Bai Heng said modestly: "The queen has won the award, it is common to lose weight, the border is bitterly cold, and we have been running there for several months, not to mention people, even the horses have lost weight." ”

Zhuang Siyan: "So Frontier is a good way to lose weight last year?" ”

Bai Heng didn't understand the word weight loss, and he didn't answer.

In fact, he was a little apprehensive at this time, he didn't know what Zhuang Siyan meant by sending it out like this, and gossiping with him about his parents?

The two talked about some side stops, and between the lines, they naturally talked about Qiu Gang.

Zhuang Siyan noticed that every time she mentioned this person, Bai Heng's expression was extremely nervous, and she would speak cautiously, as if she was afraid of saying something wrong on this.

But the more nervous you are, the easier it is to make mistakes.

Zhuang Siyan's routines are not repeated by others, he is very experienced, avoiding the important and light, and only mentioning two sentences in his words every time, and not saying a single key point.

But those problems are closely related to Bai Heng, and it will definitely not work if he doesn't say it.

For example, Zhuang Siyan asked: "You won the battle with the Marquis of Zhenbei, did he send you when you came back?" ”

This kind of thing doesn't sound like anything wrong at all.

But as soon as Bai Heng said that he didn't send it, things changed immediately.

He originally thought that if he wanted to say that he would send it, it would prove that his relationship with Qiu Gang was extraordinary.

is the same general, and won the same battle, but Qiu Gang has a marquis, he doesn't, according to the position, he is much lower than Qiu Gang, so it is normal for him not to send his subordinates.

But on the other hand, Bai Heng followed Ling Tiancheng, representing the royal family, and they had been fighting in alliance for so long and had been together for several months.

Now that a person has returned to Beijing, according to human nature, he must be sent.

In the matter, Qiu Gang really sent it, not only did he send it, but he also said something to him.

It's just that he can't tell Zhuang Siyan about this, and he is afraid that he will admit it, so Zhuang Siyan chased after him and asked, so he panicked.

As a result, the old saying is fulfilled, if one lie comes out, ten lies must be used to complete it.

Zhuang Siyan immediately asked again: "Is General Qiu too busy?" You have been in the Beiban for several months, and you have cooperated closely to defeat the Beiban, why don't you send him back when you come back? ”

Bai Heng: "......"

After a long silence, he continued to speak: "Maybe it's too busy...... mainly because the minister is in too much hurry, thinking about rushing back before the New Year to see his parents and grandfather." ”

Zhuang Siyan's face immediately brought a smile: "Speaking of which, I really want to thank your grandfather, Mr. Bai, he is now in Qingming Academy, which really makes me worry a lot." ”

Seeing that Bai Heng didn't respond, she asked again: "When will General Bai go to see him, I can go with you, and by the way, give him a backup salute and say goodbye to the New Year." ”

Bai Heng hurriedly stopped, and saluted Zhuang Siyan first, and then said: "Don't dare to bother the queen, grandpa has responded to this matter, and it is also appropriate to do that, how can you still work with the queen mother and visit in person." ”

Zhuang Siyan patted him on the arm affectionately.

Bai Heng unconsciously dodged half a step and leaned to the side.

Zhuang Siyan saw it, but she didn't know anything, and then her words said: "You don't know this, the academy was organized by me, and Mr. Bai was there to help me. ”

Then, she changed the topic and asked Bai Heng: "Why do I think General Bai went to Beiban and seemed strange to me." ”
