Before the orchid team given by the Queen Mother entered Zhao Zhen's eyes, Yixuan feasted her eyes first.

The orchids wore thin light veils, red and gold bandeau and skirts, gold bracelets on their wrists and ankles, long hair curled up, and graceful postures, dancing like a dozen flowers and butterflies.

Yixuan was full of interest, sitting in the gazebo, with a gentle breeze on all sides. In front of her, there is a large plate of dim sum, what jujube paste yam cake, milk crisp sesame sugar cake, osmanthus pull cake, mille-feuille cake, rose cake, all colors. There was also a stove next to it, and there were maids boiling water by the stove.

"You go, I'll come." Shuang'er saw that the water was boiling, so he told the maid to go away, personally took out the capstone flower in the tea can, and after soaking it, poured it into the rabbit jar and placed it in front of Yixuan.

Yixuan stared at the orchid on the high platform, and asked Shuang'er with a smile: "Do you think it's good-looking?" ”

Shuang'er flattened his mouth: "Good looking is good-looking, it's ...... It's so immoral. ”

This waist is exposed.

Yi Xuan sneered, and slowly blew the tea: "This is called fun!" I think it's pretty good. ”

Yixuan took a sip of tea, picked up the dance list and looked at it for a while, then put down the pen, checked two items, and said to Shuang'er: "Give this to their leader, and dance these two dances at the birthday banquet." ”

Yixuan watched the orchid dance while eating refreshments, so she was not at ease.

"Princess." Soon, Ping Niang also came, "The slave maid found two troupes, which one to use at the birthday banquet, and asked the princess to decide." ”

Yixuan nodded the table with her hand: "Bring it to me to see." ”

Ping Niang went in response, and after a while, she brought the two troupes. Yixuan thought that Hu Ji should be tired, so she called down and rested by herself.

Both troupes stood outside the gazebo, undressed. One of the large numbers is a handsome teenager, and the other class is much older and more stable, all of them bowing their heads deeply.

Yixuan asked Ping Niang: "What are they good at?" ”

"This is the Mingde class in the capital, the favorite team of dignitaries and nobles during the New Year's holidays, and the best at "Crazy Drum History", "Mulan in the Army" and so on. This is called Qingyuan class, originally from Gusu, and is the best at acting in "The Peony Pavilion", "The Palace of Eternal Life", etc., which are very popular among the sons and brothers. ”

Yixuan smiled, "Then let's go to Qingyuan." Don't fight and kill on the prince's birthday, and there are many female guests, and the Qingyuan class is also suitable. ”

When everyone in Qingyuan's class heard this, they were very excited, and they hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Yixuan. Yixuan called them up and said, "These days, you will stay in the palace and rehearse in peace." ”

The palace is large, and some places are to house these people.

Yixuan ate and drank to her heart's content, ready to go back to her room and sleep. There was still some way to walk back from here, and she was not in a hurry, so she walked slowly along the shore of the lake. The willows on the shore are still there, and Yixuan is interested for a while, so she folds the willows all the way and prepares to weave a flower basket.

"I'll do it. The princess's hands were red. Shuang'er felt sorry for Yixuan's delicate hands, slender and white, at most they were doing needlework, where did the laborious work next to them do!

"Will you do it?" Yi Xuan was surprised.

Shuang'er smiled: "It's naughty to learn." ”

Yi Xuan handed it to her and asked curiously, "Do you know how to make a vase?" Let's make one, fold a few flowers and put them in it, then it is called chic and vivid. ”

"I'll try."

The two pondered together for a while, and sure enough, they made a vase out of wicker, and Yixuan happily went to the flower garden to cut a few peony flowers that had just bloomed, and inserted them in it just right. The two talked and laughed and went back to the house.

As soon as she put the vase down, Yixuan saw a girl sneaky from the window, frowned, and said, "Who is it?" ”

The girl shook when she heard the voice, and poked her head out timidly: "I've seen the princess." The slave maid is here to find Sister Shuang'er. ”

Shuang'er walked out, talked to the girl under the porch for a while, took out a gold ingot from his sleeve and gave it to her, and said solemnly: "Don't say this to anyone else, if you leak the news, be careful of your skin!" ”

"Sister Shuang'er, don't worry! How dare I! The girl was smiling.

Shuang'er told her to wait, came back and whispered in Yixuan's ear: "That girl said that Xingyun quietly went out just now and went to meet a guy outside the second gate. The girl followed behind, and heard the two arguing, and didn't know what to say. ”

"Which guy?" Yi Xuan frowned.

"It's not hard to know. I took her to the second gate for a walk, and naturally I knew who it was. ”

Yixuan nodded, "Then you go quickly, don't let that guy run away." Also, tie up Xingyun and lock her in the house, and ask a mother-in-law to watch her. When the guy is caught, the two of them will be tried together, and they are afraid that they will not be able to judge something? ”

It's her old job again. She knows how to make people spit out.

Shuang'er commanded. While instructing the mother-in-law to catch Xingyun, he led people to the second gate.

When the second door saw Shuang'er coming, they all salivated and stammered, and Shuang'er ordered the girl named duckweed to look carefully, and looked around, but duckweed just shook her head.

"Sister, who are you looking for?"

"You are the only ones who are on errands in the second door?" Shuang'er asked, pointing at them.

"We work shifts, and when it's not our turn, we sleep in the house...... That's right! There is another one today, and I just went out and hasn't come back yet. ”

Shuang'er sneered, "Eight achievements are him." Whoever of you goes, take him for me, and I will reward him with a gold ingot. ”

When they heard that there was gold to be taken, they hurriedly scattered to find someone, and in a short time they brought someone with them. The guy was wearing a blue cloth shirt and looked very ordinary. Duckweed looked at it and confirmed: "It's him, that's right!" ”

The guy lowered his head, and didn't dare to argue anything.

"Take it away!"

Shuang'er locked the person in the firewood room first, and came back to return to Yixuan.

"Bring that guy first." Yi Xuan commanded.

His hands were already tied, and he was pressed to his knees on the ground. Yi Xuan: "Raise your head." ”

The guy's face was full of horror, his face was pale, and as soon as he raised his head and touched Yixuan's fierce gaze, he kowtowed in fear: "I don't know anything, the princess forgives me!" The princess forgives her sins! ”

Yixuan glanced at Shuang'er, raised her eyebrows, and asked him casually: "Do you know, but it's not up to you to decide." You'd better not be clever in front of this palace, tell everything you know, and this palace may be able to spare your life. If you don't say it, you will blame Hongu for being ruthless. ”

The guy trembled, and tears flowed down his face: "I really don't know anything, really! Ask the princess to be gracious! ”

Yixuan sneered: "I will tell you clearly." This palace has arrested you and Xingyun. Whoever of you confesses first, the palace will release him, and the other will go to the Fusi Prison in Beizhen to taste the taste of not being able to die if you can't survive. ”

Shuang'er helped: "Do you know about the Fusi Prison in Beizhen?" There are more than 100 kinds of punishments in it. Take one a day, and when you are done, put ointment on you, and you will not die. ”

The guy was bluffed by Shuang'er like this, his eyes stared straight out of the window, his lips trembled, as if he might foam at the mouth and faint at any time.

"You're not afraid?" Yixuan smiled, "Then don't say it." Let's see if Xingyun can be like you—faithful protector of the Lord? ”

When the guy heard Yi Xuan's words, he reacted again, and cried and banged his head again, "Say! Say everything! Please also let the princess put a way to live! ”

"As long as you tell the truth, this palace will naturally not pursue it."

The guy seemed to be ruthless, gritted his teeth and asked, "What does the princess want to hear?" ”

At this juncture, Yixuan naturally wants to hear everything.

Shuang'er knew that Yixuan didn't bother to answer such a stupid question, so she asked, "What did you say when you met Xingyun just now?" ”

"Miss Xingyun came to find it...... She said that she was suspected by you, and you found out the account of her going to the official to collect money, please contact the above, and quickly pick her up. ”

"Who's up there?"

"Yes, yes......" Beads of sweat broke out on his forehead, and his voice lowered: "It's Concubine Hu." ”

Concubine Hu?

Yi Xuan was stunned. I actually felt a little unbelievable: "You mean, who lives in the palace of the king of Yu in the northwest, the side concubine Hu Qingyun?" ”

"That's right." It's all said, and the rest will be much smoother, and you don't have to hide it anymore.

"So, the people who instructed the tea Ou Xiang seal to destroy my reputation, and sent someone to kill the tea Ou Xiang seal to blame me, are all Concubine Hu?"

Yixuan's breath was a little uncomfortable. How can she believe that a woman far away in the northwest has already hated her before she has seen her, and her minions have reached out to the capital from the northwest, plotting to harm her step by step?

Masters.

If it weren't for Zhao Zhen doting on her, she couldn't guarantee what would happen to her.

The guy was shocked: "I don't know." It's just that Concubine Hu did have a tea ou incense seal to spread rumors. In addition, just let Xingyun find a way to take a sum of money out of your name from the official and give it away. ”

"Where?"

"The Hu family."

Hu Qingyun came from an extraordinary background. The ancestor of the Hu family was an old minister who fought the world with Gaozu, and he once married the daughter of a Turkic clan, and his descendants were also brave and good at fighting. Hu Qingyun's father is a fierce general in the northwest. Before Zhao Zhen took over the Northwest, the Northwest was the world of the Hu family.

Yixuan didn't know much about Hu Qingyun, only that she was the eldest daughter of the long house, and she grew up in the capital. After marrying Zhao Zhen, he also lived in Yuwangfu for a few days and then went to the northwest.

Thinking about it this way, most of the people in this mansion may be Hu Qingyun, and it is easy to fiddle with her.

The feeling of being plotted against is very uncomfortable.

Yi Xuan's expression was cold, and the cold sweat broke out when she saw it, and suddenly heard her ask, "How many people are there in this mansion?" ”

"I don't know! The princess was gracious, but she was also lost in her mind for a while, and she just helped Concubine Hu to spread the word! ”

Yixuan didn't look like he was lying, and suddenly called him over.

He trembled and stepped closer.

"Have you sent a message to Ping Niang?" Yixuan's expression was calm. The words that came out of the question surprised Shuang'er and the guy.

Ping Niang? Isn't Ping Niang the princess's confidant?

"Nope. I only talked to the Xingyun girl, the tea girl and the incense seal girl. He squeezed his palms, which were full of greasy cold sweat.

Yi Xuan smiled, "That's good." "The heart of guarding against others is indispensable, and she no longer dares to take it lightly.
