Although Hua Yan listened to Cai Qing reading the book, her mind kept turning about the disaster in the Northland.

Cai Qing gradually noticed that the crown princess didn't seem to be listening, and slowly stopped, wanting to ask, but seeing Hua Yan's brows furrowed as if she was thinking about something, she obediently sat aside with the notebook in her hand.

Hua Yan thought for a long time, came back to her senses, and said to Cai Qing, "Send someone to invite Cheng Zixiao to come to the East Palace." ”

Cai Qing nodded, put down the notebook, and immediately found someone to order.

Hua Yan instructed Cai Qing again, "Go get a pen and paper, I want that kind of drawing paper." ”

Cai Qing should be, and went immediately.

After a while, Cai Qing brought paper and pen and spread it on the table.

Hua Yan got up from the chaise longue, walked to the table, dipped her pen in ink, and sketched on the drawing paper.

Cai Qing stood aside, first thinking that Hua Yan was going to paint, and soon found that what the princess drew was not a painting, it seemed to be a topographic map, but this topographic map was different from the topographic map and geographical records on the market, and the mountains and ravines and houses were marked very clearly, and even the mountain roads were very fine.

Although she had never been to the Northland, she knew the name of the place marked by Huayan, and knew that the crown princess was originally drawing a topographic map of the Northland, and she couldn't help but marvel that the Northland seemed to be in her heart.

When Cheng Zixiao was secretly invited into the East Palace, Hua Yan still hadn't finished the topographic map of the Northland, and when she got the advice of the deputy housekeeper, Hua Yan said casually, "Please come here." ”

Steward Fu should be, and immediately brought Cheng Zixiao to the phoenix wood.

Cheng Zixiao walked from afar, and saw the phoenix wood blooming bright flowers, magnificent, the wind blowing, floating down the flowers and leaves, the flowers and faces were wearing light blue ayaluo, the figure was slender, and the elegance was extreme, but it complemented the rich phoenix wood.

Cheng Zi laughed for a moment, and saw her standing in front of the table with her back to her back, as if she was painting with a pen, the sunlight passed through the branches and leaves of the phoenix wood, falling mottled light and shadow, and the thin light shone on her snow-like wrists, which were white and glowing.

The emerald green bracelet on her wrist was beautifully patterned in the dappled sunlight.

Cheng Zixiao breathed inexplicably, stopped walking, and stood in the distance as if he was afraid of disturbing Hua Yan.

Steward Fu glanced at Cheng Zi and smiled, and whispered, "The crown princess invites Cheng Qigongzi over." ”

Cheng Zi smiled and calmed down, didn't speak, and stood still without moving.

Seeing this, Steward Fu no longer urged.

Hua Yan knew that Cheng Zi was smiling, and said without looking back, "Cheng Qigongzi, come and talk." ”

Cheng Zixiao pursed the corners of his mouth, and then walked to Hua Yan, and naturally saw the topographic map of the North that she was painting on the table, his eyes showed surprise, and he said, "The topographic map of the crown princess is really unique and very rare." ”

Hua Yan glanced at him with a smile, and kept writing in his hands, "You were born in the Northland since you were a child, and your business is all over the Northland, so you should be very familiar with the Northland, what do you think of my topographic map?" ”

Cheng Zixiao looked at her smiling face, moved away without a trace, looked at the topographic map, and said calmly, "The crown princess's topographic map is extremely good, fine and accurate, more than ten times better than the topographic map circulating in the market in the Northland." ”

Hua Yan smiled, "I used to find medicine for my brother, and I traveled to every inch of the mountains and every inch of soil in the Northland. ”

Cheng Zixiao suddenly admired it, "No wonder the crown princess can draw such a topographic map." After speaking, his eyes involuntarily fell on the wrist she had drawn with a pen, and saw that she had slender fingers, white hand bones, and a shrunken pupil under her eyes, and immediately looked away.

Hua Yan didn't notice the change in her expression, and said with a faint smile, "In your opinion, is Yuqiu County a county that will be affected by floods?" ”

Cheng Zixiao thought for a moment, and then retracted his gaze to look at Hua Yan, she still smiled lightly on her face, so that people couldn't see what she was thinking, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Although it doesn't look like a county that will be affected by floods, the fact is that it has been affected by floods, and there is no conclusion in the world that it must not be." ”

Hua Yan chuckled, "What you said is quite decent, not like what your Cheng Qigongzi would say." ”

Cheng Zixiao stopped making a sound.

Hua Yan finished the last stroke, put down the pen, turned back and sat back on the chaise longue, and waved his hand casually, "Sit down." ”

Cai Qing immediately moved a chair and said crisply, "Cheng Qigongzi, please take a seat." ”

Cheng Zi smiled and stroked the hem of his clothes, slowly sat down on the chair, Cai Qing handed him a cup of tea, and he took it.

Hua Yan put away the smile on her face and said, "The flood in Yuqiu County was affected and thousands of people died, can Cheng Qigongzi know?" ”

Cheng Zi was stunned for a moment.

Hua Yan looked at him, "Cheng Qigongzi knows, right?" Your business is all over the Northland, and Yuqiu County also has your business, so you can get news of such a big event even if you are far away in the capital. ”

Cheng Zi looked at Hua Yan with a smile and didn't answer for a while.

Hua Yan smiled and said lightly, "Yuqiu County is located in Qingping Mountain, its rocks are solid, the terrain is superior, if it is not damaged by external forces, according to my judgment, it will not be flooded in a hundred years." ”

Cheng Zixiao looked at Hua Yan with tea in his hand, and slowly spoke, "What does the crown princess mean that the flood in Yuqiu County was affected by the disaster, and it was man-made?" ”

Hua Yan nodded, "It seems that you are very clear, not bad." ”

Cheng Zi smiled silently and looked at Hua Yan, "Why did the crown princess conclude that it was artificial?" Yuqiu County is just a small county that makes a living by fishing and chopping wood, and the flood drowned thousands of people, who would artificially let Yuqiu County flood and what is the purpose? ”

Hua Yan said, "Isn't the supervision of the imperial history in Yuqiu County?" ”

Cheng Zixiao nodded, "Indeed." ”

Hua Yan looked at him and said, "Yuqiu County is just a small county that makes a living by fishing and chopping wood, but the supervision of the imperial history is stationed in Yuqiu County, which itself must have hidden secrets. ”

Cheng Zi looked at Hua Yan with a smile, guessing the purpose of her inviting him here, he was already secretly handing over the business in the north with An Sixteen, and he didn't understand what her purpose was for coming to him, he asked calmly, "When the crown princess sees me, I don't know what to order?" ”

"I don't dare to do it, I want to ask Cheng Qigongzi for a favor." Hua Yan smiled.

Cheng Zixiao took a sip of tea when he heard this, and the whole person changed from the restraint when he came, and asked casually, "I don't know what else is worthy of the crown princess besides the business in the north?" ”

Hua Yan stretched out her finger and pointed her head, and said, "Cheng Qigongzi has a good mind, smart and shrewd, although the business in the north has the support of Zhao Zaipu, but you are also able to find out how you are today, so you must also have a deep understanding of some dirty things in the north." ”

Cheng Zixiao narrowed his eyes and stared at Hua Yan, "What does the crown princess mean ......"

Hua Yan smiled, "Cheng Qigongzi is smart and knows what I want?" ”

Cheng Zixiao pursed the corners of his mouth, "I have already given up the business in the north, and the crown princess can't bully people again and again with her identity." ”

Hua Yan smiled, "The identity of the crown princess, although precious, but in the eyes of Cheng Qigongzi, it will not be taken too seriously, I and Cheng Qigongzi's first business went smoothly, and it can be regarded as a friendship, this second one, I ask Cheng Qigongzi to help, you can make a price, there is no bullying of you, although I love to bully people, but I am not bullying in vain." ”

Cheng Zi stared at Hua Yan with a smile, "What does the crown princess mean that I can offer any price?" ”

Hua Yan smiled, "It depends on how many things you have in your hand, whether it's worth the price you offer." If it's worth a sky-high price, I'll naturally give it. ”

Cheng Zixiao retracted his gaze and stared at the tea cup in his hand, as if thinking.

Hua Yan didn't rush him, just waited for him.

After a long time, Cheng Zi smiled and said, "The tea is cold, and I am tired of changing it." ”

Hua Yan motioned to Cai Qing, "You go and make a new one for Cheng Qigongzi, and ask for good Yuhu tea." ”

Cai Qing should be, and went immediately.

Cai Qing left with his head and feet, and Cheng Zixiao said to Hua Yan, "I have indeed saved some things in my hands over the years, enough to turn the north upside down, I originally planned to prepare for my own needs, but I didn't expect to be remembered by the crown princess." After a pause, he said, "I can show it to you, but the crown princess has to promise me one condition." ”

"On what terms?" Hua Yan raised her eyebrows and asked.

Cheng Zixiao shook his head, pondering and said, "I don't have anything to ask for at this time, the crown princess just needs to remember to promise me a condition, if I ask one day, the crown princess will agree to me." ”

Hua Yan smiled lightly, "As long as it doesn't endanger His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Nanchu Jiangshan, I can personally agree to you." ”

Cheng Zixiao stared at Hua Yan deeply and nodded happily, "Okay." ”

Cai Qing brought the tea again and handed it to Cheng Zixiao.

Cheng Zixiao took it, drank it slowly, put down the teacup, stood up, and said to Hua Yan, "But I stayed in the north when the princess asked for something when I came to Beijing, if the princess wants it, I will let people go to the north to get it now, and it will take a few days to go back and forth, I'm afraid I have to make the princess wait." ”

Hua Yan shook her head, "Don't worry, you don't need to send someone to the Northland to pick it up, I will go to the Northland about once, and then you can go back to the Northland with me and just take it to me." ”

Cheng Zi was stunned, "The crown princess plans to go to the Northland?" ”

Hua Yan nodded and said lightly, "If the northern land is uneven, I am afraid that His Royal Highness the crown prince and I will not be able to marry in peace, since this is the case, I will smooth the northern land first." ”
