Chapter 110 (2nd Update)
Hua Yan smiled, Cheng Zi smiled at this face, which was much more durable than Cheng Guzhi's face.
She glanced at him casually, and said with a smile, "If it is convenient for Cheng Qigongzi, I will be the east, how about having lunch together?" ”
Cheng Zixiao was stunned for a moment, and then a smile spread, "Although I am very honored to be invited by the crown princess, I don't want to be broken by His Royal Highness the crown prince after eating." ”
Hua Yan smiled lightly, "No, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is tolerant and kind, cherishes the people, Cheng Qigongzi does not do anything illegal and taboo, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not break your legs." ”
Cheng Zi raised his eyebrows with a smile, and he was no longer polite when he heard the words, "Then thank you to the crown princess." ”
Hua Yan turned around and asked casually, "Mountain Treasure Pavilion, how is it?" ”
Cheng Zixiao was slightly surprised, glanced at Hua Yan carefully, and said, "Whether it is the descendants of the kings and grandsons, or the common people, the centuries-old brand of the Shanzhen Pavilion needs to book a seat half a month in advance, has the princess already booked a seat?" ”
Hua Yan shook her head, "No." ”
Cheng Zi looked at her with a smile, because her tone was too casual, "Could it be that the crown princess still has to force people to eat a meal?" ”
Hua Yan smiled, "The Lin'an Hua family has no other livelihood in the capital, but these hundreds of years old brand has remained." When I go to my house for a meal, the cook will still make a table of noodles. ”
Cheng Zi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "I see, but I'm too worried." After a pause, he said, "The world is spreading that the Mountain Treasure Museum is the royal property, so that it has stood for hundreds of years, and it turned out to be the Hua family." ”
Hua Yan glanced at him lightly, "It doesn't matter who it is, it's enough to invite Cheng Gongzi to a meal that no one disturbs." ”
Cheng Zixiao listened to Hua Yan's voice, and knew that she had something to say to him, and it was still a top-secret topic that could not be known by others, so he smiled, "With the light of the crown princess, I have long wanted to eat a meal in the Mountain Treasure Pavilion." ”
The distance of the Shanzhen Pavilion is a little far, Hua Yan got into the carriage, and Cheng Zixiao also got into his own carriage.
The two carriages left the Mobao Pavilion one after the other.
The secret guard of the Zhao Mansion has always had to be ordered by Zhao Zaifu to stare at Cheng Zixiao, at this time, seeing Cheng Zixiao being taken away by a woman, although the woman did not show her face, but Cai Qing who followed her showed a few faces, and familiar people still knew it, and it was not difficult for people with a heart to guess that the woman was the crown princess, and hurriedly went to Zhao Mansion to report.
Cho Jae-fu fell ill all of a sudden after returning from the East Palace yesterday.
For so many years, he has been in the camp, although the official is not crooked, it can be said that he is more correct than most people, otherwise he would not have achieved the position of Zaifu, but in the end, he is also selfish, his own private treasury has been saved for a lifetime, but once it was put into water, it was taken away by An Shuli and Princess Anyang, how could he not be depressed?
Although Yun Chi took the unbearable incident between the two governments as a private matter of the two governments and suppressed it, and Jingzhong did not set off any boiling gossip because of this, but in the end, everyone with a discerning eye knows that if he is not reasonable, how could he be hit by Princess Anyang and stop the carriage of his daughter Zhao Qingxi, and he is willing to donate many years of savings to help An Shuli control the floods in the Sichuan River Valley?
In the final analysis, the private treasury of silver is a trivial matter, but his official career and the future of the Zhao family are major matters.
He chose An Shuli, and did not hesitate to use selfish means to calculate that he would be his son-in-law, also for the future of the Zhao family. It's just that he never thought that stealing chickens would not make rice, and he would plant it completely at once.
Under the depression, the illness came like a mountain, and he was bedridden all of a sudden.
He was lying on the bed, pondering what the problem was, it stands to reason that he did it privately, An Shuli shouldn't know it, plus Cheng Zixiao has had a relationship with him for many years, the reason why his business can grow so big that it is all over the north is also because of the support behind him, Cheng Zixiao has no reason to betray him and block his way.
When he couldn't figure it out, he still let people secretly stare at Cheng Zixiao, although he didn't move him, but he also wanted to figure it out.
On this day, the secret guard told him that it was suspected that the crown princess of the East Palace went to Mobao Pavilion to find Cheng Zixiao, and then took him to the Mountain Treasure Pavilion.
When Zhao Zaifu heard this, he sat up from the bed with huo Ran, "You said that the crown princess found Cheng Zixiao?" ”
The secret guard bowed, "It seems that the crown princess is wearing a hat and does not see her face, but the maid who follows her is a person from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the East Palace, and when she was in southern Xinjiang, she was assigned to the crown princess and waited closely." ”
Zhao Zaifu has been crisscrossing the court all his life, although he can't intervene to stir up the East Palace, but he can still find out the manpower arrangement of the East Palace.
He was puzzled for a moment, his face changed and he said, "Can you find out what she is doing with Cheng Zixiao?" ”
The secret guard shook his head, "Don't dare to follow too closely, the crown princess is protected by the secret guard of the East Palace behind her." ”
Zhao Zaifu thought for a moment, then lay down again, and said, "There is a place where Lin'an Huayan intervenes, it has never been a trivial matter, I don't know what she has in mind?" ”
Naturally, the dark guard didn't dare to answer this.
Zhao Zaifu thought for a while, but he couldn't come up with a reason, closed his eyes and waved his hand, "That's it, keep an eye on Cheng Zixiao secretly, and when he meets with the crown princess, I will invite him to come over." ”
The Dark Guard asked tentatively, "But come to the mansion?" ”
Zhao Zaifu nodded, "In previous years, I didn't let him come to the mansion because I didn't want people to know about his relationship with me, but now even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows about it, and it makes no sense to hide it, presumably His Royal Highness the Crown Prince already knows about the things I did to support him in private, just let him come." ”
The Dark Guard should be.
The Shanzhen Museum is located in a quiet and remote alley, and the coachman drove the carriage to turn left and right, turned several streets, and came to the Shanzhen Museum at the North Street.
Although this place is very quiet, the entire street is the site of the Mountain Treasure Museum. In the whole alley, there is a row of carriages, either gorgeous or simple, which shows that the mountain treasure museum treats everyone equally, regardless of whether they are rich or poor.
The coachman of the East Palace drove the carriage to the door of the Shanzhen Pavilion, and Hua Yan took out a sign from his bosom that looked like wood, not wood, jade and not jade, and handed it to Cai Qing, "Give this thing to the shopkeeper, he understands." ”
Cai Qing should be, took the brand, and entered the Mountain Treasure Museum.
After a while, Cai Qing came out, followed by a young man in a hurry, this young man was older than An Sixteen and An Seventeen, came to the front, and saw the flower face that had already gotten off the station in front of the car, his face was full of joy, and he hurriedly saluted, "Thirteen to meet the young master!" ”
Hua Yan smiled at him, "When did you come to the capital too?" ”
This young man is An Thirteen, the elder brother of An Sixteen and An Seventeen, handsome and handsome, full of books, listening to Hua Yan's question, he immediately said, "I entered Beijing yesterday, and I haven't had time to inform the young master." ”
Hua Yan raised her eyebrows, "Is it my brother's order?" Do you have something important to do when you come to Beijing? ”
An 13 glanced at Cheng Zixiao, who came down from another carriage, and nodded, "It's Gongzi's order, there is indeed something to do for you later." After the words fell, he looked at Cheng Zi and asked with a smile, "This one is here with the young master?" ”
Hua Yan glanced back at Cheng Zi and smiled, and said, "The seventh son of the Cheng family in the north, is there a place for us to eat?" ”
An 13 immediately nodded, "Naturally, young master, please come with me." ”
Huayan bowed her head and motioned for Cheng Zixiao to go all the way with her.
Cheng Zi smiled and nodded, following behind Hua Yan.
The two of them were led by An 13 and entered the Mountain Treasure Pavilion, which looked at the back of the quiet street outside and only hung an ordinary sign, and only knew that there was a hole in the sky, and the pavilions and pavilions and the blue lake surrounded an independent and exquisite house, although there were several carriages outside, it could be seen that there were many people, but there was no noise inside.
Such an exquisite place, before eating, can be expected to be passed down for hundreds of years, and it will definitely live up to this blessing.
An 13 led Hua Yan through the two doors and came to an independent courtyard, "This is it, young master, please, I'll go and order people to make vegetables." ”
Hua Yan nodded and stepped into the house.
Cheng Zixiao followed in.
I saw that the furnishings in the house were very elegant, dusty, simple and exquisite, Hua Yan chose the pineapple wood chair in front of the bed to sit down, and Cheng Zixiao also walked to sit opposite her.
Soon, a young man came and made a good pot of tea.
Hua Yan took off her hat, put it aside casually, and drank the tea, without rushing to talk to Cheng Zixiao.
Cheng Zixiao was not in a hurry, after Hua Yan took off her hat, she silently observed Hua Yan, and found that she was really as beautiful as rumored, very pleasing to the eye, and it could even be said that her beauty was not as good as the eleventh or twelve he saw at this time, but her beauty was still secondary, and her temperament around her body, leisurely and casual, was the only one he had seen in his life.
He couldn't help but secretly think, no wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was arbitrary and stubborn and stubbornly not married to Lin'an Huayan, so that the whole world knew his stubbornness, it turned out that Lin'an Huayan was indeed different from other women.
There is a saying that beauty is in the bones, not in the skin, and the beauty is like this, even if she looks good, it will first make people ignore her appearance, and notice her idle, casual and indifferent temperament.
Seeing that Hua Yan had no intention of opening his mouth after drinking a cup of tea, he finally put down the tea cup and couldn't help but speak, "I don't know why the princess is here, it's better to have something to say, you have finished speaking, and you can eat this delicious meal." ”
