Chapter Fifty-Eight: Is Your Favorite the Emperor?
Another day, after Xianyue and others got better, they came to the Silent Pavilion to ask Su Chengbi for peace.
"What wind is blowing you?" Xu Zhaohua said without being salty or indifferent, she didn't mean anything else when she said this.
"The eldest lady is really tormented by the concubine." Xianyue said with an obedient and harmless look.
"Sit down." Su Chengbi waved her hand and motioned for her to sit, Su Chengbi had seen a lot of women like her, but now she didn't care about it.
"Mrs. Xie." The number of ceremonies in the moon is very thorough, so that people can't find fault with it.
"Aunt Yue didn't just come to say hello to my mother." Xu Zhaohua said meaningfully.
Xianyue didn't beat around the bush, and said directly: "The concubine just wants to know who wants to harm me."
"There is also an Aunt Wan in this house, you should know." Xu Zhaohua said with a smile.
Xianyue nodded, she naturally knew that she had brought someone to the courtyard to beat her that day.
"Who will benefit when both sides lose?" After Xu Zhaohua said such a sentence, he stopped talking.
Xianyue is also a smart person, so she naturally understood what Xu Zhaohua meant, and she said with a smile: "How could a smart person like the eldest lady let them go for so long?"
"Aunt Yue, don't ask if you shouldn't ask." Xu Zhaohua gave a faint warning.
"It's getting late, you should go back." Su Chengbi gave an eviction order.
Xianyue didn't leave immediately, but knelt on the ground and said to Su Chengbi: "Madam, let them be so calculating, the concubine is really unwilling, so please Mrs. can help the concubine."
"How can I help?" Su Chengbi asked with interest.
As soon as Xianyue heard that there was a play, she said: "The concubine also asked Mrs. to help drive that Wanxin out, after driving her out, Mrs. Please rest assured, the concubine will never think about what she shouldn't think, and the concubine will definitely stay in the house obediently and listen to Mrs.
Heh, Xu Zhaohua sneered in his heart, he wouldn't think, if this was the case, you wouldn't be here, but it's not bad to let her fight Wanxin, the original plan was to let them fight.
Xu Zhaohua gave Su Chengbi a look of agreement, Su Chengbi also wanted to be idle for a few days, so naturally he also wanted to agree, but he couldn't be too anxious.
Su Chengbi seemed to think seriously for a while before reluctantly saying, "Okay, if necessary, Mrs. Ben will help you."
Xianyue was overjoyed, thanked him and said, "Thank you Mrs. for the concubine."
Su Chengbi nodded expressionlessly.
After achieving her goal, she took her leave.
"Auntie, we have received the help of Madame, and we must make that Wanxin pay the price." The round-faced maid held Xianyue and said viciously.
Xian Yue stroked her face, she still can't forget the slap that Wanxin slapped that day, she is also a prostitute, but she dares to beat her like this, she must make her pay.
Xian Yue made a way to poison herself, and pointed the evidence at Wanxin, Wanxin knelt in front of Xu Qingshan and said that she was wronged, Xu Shaoyun was also proving and clarifying, but Xu Qingshan still punished them, but did not drive them out of the house, Xian Yue did not think that she would be hit with one blow, but she was still a little unhappy, and she snubbed Xu Qingshan for a day like a coquettish, but she grabbed Xu Qingshan even more.
Just half past the spring, it is the blessing ceremony, the middle of the spring to hold the blessing ceremony, meaning that the country is prosperous in this year, and pray to God to bless Dongqi.
In the blessing ceremony, all officials should take their families to Jingguo Temple to pray for blessings.
Xu Zhaohua and Su Chengbi packed up their things, and only took Youyou, Runqing and a few maids. Xu Qingshan took Xianyue, Su Chengbi took Xu Zhaohua, Wanxin took Xu Shaoyun, and several carriages set off.
When it came to the official road, it was a mighty convoy.
However, fortunately, the officials who reported on their work in Beijing were all high-rank, not many.
"Why is it so slow?" Xu Shaoyun's complaining voice came from the carriage behind Xu Zhaohua.
There are many horse-drawn carriages that go from this official road, so it is naturally slower.
"Oops, who hit our carriage." Xu Shaoyun lifted the curtain impatiently and looked out.
Qin Lu in the carriage also lifted the curtain and poked his head out to look.
"It turned out to be Miss Qin." Said happily.
Qin Lu snorted coldly when he saw that it was them.
Xu Zhaohua was bored and opened the curtain to see, she saw that it was Qin Lu, and called: "Sister Qin."
Qin Lu saw that the carriage in front of him was Xu Zhaohua, and shouted affectionately: "Sister Zhaohua." Then he drove the coachman to drive the carriage to accompany Xu Zhaohua's carriage. Wanxin and Xu Shaoyun saw that their attitudes were different, and closed the car curtain angrily.
"Sister Zhaohua drives a car with her sister, my sister is bored alone." Qin Lu said complainingly.
Xu Zhaohua shook his head and said, "No, I'll accompany my mother."
Qin Lu hung his head in disappointment.
"Crispy, go sit with Miss Qin." Su Chengbi also wants her daughter to have a close friend, although Qin Lu is dressed up fancy, she is still a good person, at least she has no bad intentions.
Qin Lu raised his head in surprise when he heard this, and Xu Zhaohua said, "Then the mother kisses you......"
"If you go, my mother won't have to listen to your sighs, but it's a lot cleaner."
was complained about by his own mother like this, Xu Zhaohua's face darkened for a moment, and Qin Lu said happily: "Thank you, Mrs. Xu, Zhaohua come over quickly."
So, the two carriages stopped, and waited for Xu Zhaohua to board Qin Lu's carriage before starting to leave.
The moment it stopped, some people were naturally dissatisfied, but no one said anything when they knew that it was the carriage of Shang Shuling's family and General Xu's concubine.
Xu Zhaohua smelled the incense on this carriage quite well, and she couldn't help asking: "Sister Qin, what kind of incense is in your carriage, it smells so good." At this time, Xu Zhaohua is in line with her age, innocent and full of curiosity.
Qin Lu obviously also knew, his index finger curled and scratched Xu Zhaohua's little nose and said, "You are just like a little girl when you ask this sentence, looking at your previous appearance, you look like a little adult, and there is no brilliance in your eyes."
As soon as Qin Lu said it, Xu Zhaohua dimmed for a moment, and even Qin Lu could see it, wouldn't it be very sad to look at her mother every day?
"Sister Qin, Zhaohua promises not." Xu Zhaohua smiled at Qin Lu.
"That's right." Qin Lu was also very happy. talked to Xu Zhaohua about the incense he had concocted, and the two of them were still discussing things between their daughter's family. From time to time, cheerful laughter could be heard from the carriage.
Su Chengbi, who was in the carriage with her, felt very relieved when she heard it, Xu Zhaohua, who had such a cheerful laughter, was her crispy.
"Zhaohua, do you have a crush?" Tired of laughing, Qin Lu asked Xu Zhaohua quietly.
Xu Zhaohua subconsciously shook his head, Qin Lu didn't believe it and said, "Really not?" You're going to be in time this year, right, Mrs. Xu didn't look for you? ”
"Nope." Xu Zhaohua replied honestly, and asked Qin Lu again: "Sister Qin, what about you, who did Uncle Qin marry you to?"
"My mother wants me to enter the palace, but my father doesn't agree, and I don't want to." Qin Lu sighed.
"Why does Aunt Qin want you to enter the palace?" In Xu Zhaohua's impression, Aunt Qin is also a very good person, how could she push her daughter into such a Longtan tiger's den? The harem, in the eyes of women with desires, is the fastest place to climb up, but in the eyes of other women, it is tantamount to the tiger's den in Longtan.
"Mother said that she has an agreement with the biological mother of the saint today, if he is not a saint, then the agreement will be invalid, but now that he is a saint, the agreement will naturally be implemented." Qin Lu was also puzzled.
"Sister Qin doesn't like the emperor?"
Qin Lu shook his head and said, "He is so high-minded, and at first glance he is a heartless and ruthless person, although he looks gentle and elegant on the surface, he may be so insidious and cunning behind the scenes."
After listening to Qin Lu's evaluation of Zhou Shengcuobai, the corners of Xu Zhaohua's eyes couldn't help twitching and said, "Where did you see it?"
Qin Lu said matter-of-factly: "He is exuding it all over his body, as if he is saying to stay away from me, I am something you can't afford to provoke."
Looking at Qin Lu's expression, Xu Zhaohua couldn't help laughing, he couldn't stop, Qin Lu was also amused by himself, and both of them rolled with laughter.
"It's been a long time since I've seen the eldest lady so happy." Runqing said with a smile.
"What the hell is the young lady happy about? and neither slaves nor maidservants. Yoyo scratched his head and said.
Su Chengbi was also infected by the laughter and laughed softly.
This time, they were really tired of laughing, and both of them were panting and resting.
Xu Zhaohua was thinking: High up? But he obviously doesn't even call me in front of him, and he has always called himself me, from the prince to the emperor, heartless and ruthless? But the tenderness in his eyes was about to overflow when he looked at him, gentle and elegant on the surface, but insidious and cunning behind his back, Xu Zhaohua felt that Qin Lu was right about this, he was a smiling tiger, although it was not like this in front of her. Xu Zhaohua suddenly felt that it was wrong when he thought about it, if others looked at him like that, he was so different from himself, and he also called Song to find him from time to time, the more Xu Zhaohua thought about it, the reddening he became.
Qin Lu looked at the little girl next to him and didn't know what she thought, her face was like a red apple, so she secretly lay next to her and said with a smile: "Little girl, who is this thinking of?" The face is so red. ”
Xu Zhaohua reacted, his face turned even redder, and he said as if to hide it: "No."
Qin Lu looked at this little girl and became even more interesting, and said, "I also lied to my sister that I didn't say no, look at your appearance, it's obvious that you are thinking about your lover."
Missful Lang? Is Zhou Shengcuo white? Xu Zhaohua blushed and stopped talking.
Qin Lu clearly dragged his long tongue with a provocative voice.
"Which son? Do I know each other? The two of them said they were happy, and they didn't care about those who claimed to be.
"Hmm." Xu Zhaohua hesitated for a while before humming softly.
Qin Lu knew that he knew him, so he was even more excited and asked, "Who is it?" Who is it? ”
Xu Zhaohua was thinking about whether to tell her, if he didn't tell her, he might be embarrassed in the future.
"Your Majesty." Xu Zhaohua's mosquito-like voice.
But Qin Lu still heard it clearly, and she couldn't believe it: "Is it the emperor?" The same very small sound.
Xu Zhaohua hung his head.
Qin Lu was stunned, what did she just say, she had just said bad things about the emperor in front of Zhaohua, and she had said bad things about her sweetheart in front of her good sisters!
Seeing that Qin Lu did not react, Xu Zhaohua said anxiously and worriedly: "Sister Qin, I'm not, I won't enter the palace, don't worry." finally has a friend with the same interest now, Xu Zhaohua doesn't want to lose, in the last life, she had no other friends except believing that Xu Shaoyun.
Hearing Xu Zhaohua say this, Qin Lu knew that her reaction frightened her, and in turn comforted her and said, "How can you not enter the palace? You like the emperor, how can you get him if you don't enter the palace? ”
Xu Zhaohua was now stunned by her comfort and fright.
Qin Lu thought happily: "Look, if you enter the palace, then I don't have to enter the palace, I don't want to enter the palace, and you want to enter the palace, isn't this the best of both worlds."
What do you mean? Xu Zhaohua didn't understand, she was completely confused by her train of thought, and it didn't seem to be a contradiction between entering the palace by herself and her entering the palace.
As soon as Qin Lu saw Xu Zhaohua's cute little appearance, she knew that she didn't understand, it was too complicated, and she didn't want to explain, so she said: "If you enter the palace, I won't enter the palace, I won't fight with you, understand?"
At this time, Xu Zhaohua nodded to indicate that he understood. It turns out that it feels so good to be spoiled by her sister, no wonder Xu Shaoyun enjoyed the feeling of being pampered and protected by herself so much in her previous life.
Along the way, the relationship between the two sisters has increased a lot.
When he arrived at Huguo Temple and divided the meditation room, Qin Lu had to live with Xu Zhaohua in one room, and finally Aunt Qin pulled his ears and went back to his meditation room.
Su Chengbi said: "When you have nothing to do, just come and find crispy pastries."
Qin Lu naturally agreed to come down. Mrs. Qin's personal relationship with Su Chengbi when she was young was also good. Naturally, I am happy that these two children are also good like this, and in her opinion, Su Chengbi's daughter is by no means a thing in the pool, and it is always good to have more friends.
The prayer ceremony takes seven days, a cycle of time. During the prayer period, the temple is closed and does not accept people.
It was already evening on the day I just arrived, so naturally it didn't count, so I didn't need to visit the emperor.
Wait until tomorrow morning will gather in the temple in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and then just like the monk half of the morning class to chant the scriptures, the morning class ends with breakfast, the food is naturally vegetarian, and then the sutra is recited after use, so in the morning, in the afternoon it will be fine, do what you want to do, seven days and every day.
It's been like this for many years, but Xu Zhaohua still can't get used to it.
After dinner, Xu Zhaohua took Youyou around the temple.
Jingguo Temple at night was even more solemn, and Xu Zhaohua's heart rose with reverence for no reason.
Jingguo Temple is very large, she walked for a long time from the meditation room before walking to the Daxiong Treasure Palace, at this time the door of the hall is closed, the front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall is the release pool, there are lights erected around the release pond to illuminate, there is the sound of koi jumping out and jumping into the pool, Xu Zhaohua remembers that there should be a lotus flower in the pool, but the lotus flower only blooms in summer, and it is the withered flower bone at this time.
Xu Zhaohua looked at the water and looked at it intently, and a voice called her from behind her: "Miss Xu?"
Xu Zhaohua turned around to see that it was Jiang Heng.
"Looking at the back image, I still don't dare to shout, I didn't expect it to be you." Jiang Heng walked down and said.
"Jiang Gongzi." Xu Zhaohua was about to salute, but Jiang Heng hurriedly supported her and said, "It's just the two of us, there is no need to be formal." Jiang Heng automatically ignored Youyou.
"Miss Xu also came out for a walk without incident?" Jiang Heng didn't know how to speak when he saw Xu Zhaohua.
"Well, it's been a while, it's time to go back, Jiang Gongzi, the little woman will retire first." Xu Zhaohua felt that he had been out for a long time.
Jiang Heng heard her say that she was leaving, and hurriedly explained: "Let's send Miss Xu next." ”
Xu Zhaohua nodded lightly and agreed.
When he arrived at Xu Zhaohua's courtyard, Su Chengbi had been waiting for Xu Zhaohua, and when he saw Jiang Heng coming, he smiled and said, "How is Gongzi Jiang?" ”
"Aunt Xu, I met Miss Xu on the way, so I volunteered to send her back." Jiang Heng explained.
"Come in and have a cup of tea." Su Chengbi just wanted to be polite.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Heng agreed: "Then bother Aunt Xu." ”
So, the three of them sat in the courtyard and tasted tea, and after a while, Jiang Heng got up to say goodbye.
Xu Zhaohua went back to the room to rest, and Song stood at Xu Zhaohua's window and said, "Miss, just now when Mrs. Xu was drinking tea with you and Gongzi Jiang, a person left sneakily. ”
"Who do you know?"
Song shook his head and said, "My subordinates didn't chase him, but he was less than seven feet tall and dressed in black cotton linen. ”
Xu Zhaohua knew it, and Song returned to his position.
There are too many people staring at Xu Zhaohua now, and Xu Zhaohua can't analyze who it is at this time, so he can only take one step at a time.
The first day of the blessing ceremony was calm, which made Xu Zhaohua feel a bit like the calm before the storm.
On the afternoon of the second day.
Xianyue took the round-faced girl Xiaoru to chat at Su Chengbi.
"Madam, Miss, King Li invited all the officials and Mrs. Li to go to the bamboo forest to watch together, I heard that the beautiful scenery of the bamboo forest in this Jingguo Temple is a must." Runqing conveyed the words of the maid sent by King Li to report.
"Unprovoked, how could King Li invite everyone to the bamboo forest?" Tsukiki was the first to ask.
Xu Zhaohua was also thinking about this problem, when praying for blessings a few years ago, King Li had never held such an ornamental banquet, she looked at Su Chengbi and said, "Mother..."
"Since His Royal Highness King Li has invited him, let's go, it's not good to save King Li's face." Su Chengbi said lightly.
A group of six people headed for the bamboo forest.
There were already a lot of them by then, some acquaintances talked together, and some officials also got together and whispered, and there was no shadow of King Li.
"Why did Mrs. Xu come?" The lady who knew Su Chengbi saw her and pulled her and said, "My sister has been waiting for a while, come on, come on, sit down, let their juniors play."
Qin Lu didn't know where to come out, pulled Xu Zhaohua and was about to walk into the bamboo forest, Xu Zhaohua thought that there was still Xianyue, she didn't know anyone here, Xu Zhaohua turned his head to look at her.
It just so happened that Su Chengbi beckoned Xianyue to come over and sit, and Xu Zhaohua followed Qin Lu away.
Along the way, Qin Lu was chattering, and Xu Zhaohua listened absentmindedly, because now that she was far away from Su Chengbi, she always felt a little uneasy.
Unconsciously, they have walked to the depths of the bamboo forest, the bamboo here is indeed growing well, Xu Zhaohua was observing, and suddenly a person caught her attention, less than seven feet, wearing black cotton linen, Xu Zhaohua realized that it might be the sneaky person that Songkou said.
He hurriedly walked past Xu Zhaohua, Xu Zhaohua observed him carefully, and made sure that he had not seen him, but he had a lot of silver taels around his waist.
At this time, there were exactly two forks in the road, and Xu Zhaohua and the others were walking in the opposite direction.
Xu Zhaohua thought: You don't need silver to buy things here, but he is a slave who brings so many silver taels, if he steals, then the direction of escape should not be the bamboo forest, unless...
Xu Zhaohua realized that something was wrong and immediately rushed back, and Qin Lu, who was immersed in the bamboo forest, found that the person was missing in a blink of an eye, and thought that he was too fascinated to lose the person, so he hurriedly went back to find it.
Xu Zhaohua trotted all the way to the place where Su Chengbi was sitting at the beginning, but Xianyue was still there, but Su Chengbi was not seen.
"Aunt Yue, where is my mother?" Xu Zhaohua asked with a slight gasp.
Seeing that she seemed to be running all the way back, Xianyue was a little surprised and said, "Just now, a slave maid accidentally spilled tea on Madame, and Madame went with the slave maid to change her clothes."
"How long?"
"It's been a long time." Xianyue also realized that it was too long to change her clothes, and the slave maid clearly said that it was in the nearby meditation room, and she had noticed that the nearest meditation room was only a hundred steps away.
"Aunt Yue, do you know which direction you're going?" It should be too late to go. Xu Zhaohua thought comfortingly.
Xianyue pointed out the direction to Xu Zhaohua and said, "Auntie, accompany Miss to find Madame."
Xu Zhaohua nodded without thinking.
Another place.
"Is the general really willing?"
In the meditation room not far from the bamboo forest, Zhou Shengchenmo asked Xu Qingshan, who was sitting at the bottom of the place.
"For the sake of the prince's plan, the minister has nothing to be reluctant to." Xu Qingshan said with certainty that he would be loyal.
Xu Zhaohua and Xianyue separated to find Su Chengbi, and at the back of a meditation room, Xu Zhaohua saw the person he met in the bamboo forest again, but the heavy money bag on his waist was gone, Xu Zhaohua panicked, but quickly calmed down.
Zhou Shengchenmo's purpose was to use rumors to make them unable to refute when there were many people, but there was no movement now, indicating that the mother may be fine, and this person must have returned to pay the silver two.
Xu Zhaohua secretly hid in a hidden place, wanting to know who was meeting this person.
It didn't take long for a woman to appear, and when she saw her, Xu Zhaohua's eyes were blank.
"Done?" Xu Shaoyun frowned and asked, it seemed that she didn't want to come.
The man smiled flatteringly and said, "Miss, your orders are naturally done." Then he said with a look of embarrassment: "But this silver tael is really less, after all, that person is a court wife, you see if this silver should be appropriate..."
As soon as Xu Zhaohua heard it, he understood that the court woman was referring to Su Chengbi, and her mother was in danger, but she didn't know where her mother was?
"Where's the person?" Xu Shaoyun's question solved Xu Zhaohua's urgent need.
The man naturally replied truthfully: "In the Huilan meditation room in the east."
As soon as he heard the location, the rest of Xu Zhaohua stopped listening and went straight to the Huilan meditation room in the east.
When Xu Zhaohua arrived at the Huilan meditation room, he didn't leave, there were two people holding the door with their hands, Xu Zhaohua beckoned to loosen down, and Song followed Xu Zhaohua in a hidden place to protect her all the way, and now Xu Zhaohua signaled him to appear, and he naturally appeared.
"You go and lure the two away, and I'll save my mother." Xu Zhaohua commanded.
Song didn't refuse, he went around to the back of the meditation room first, and learned through the window that there was no one else inside except for the sleeping Su Chengbi, so he tried to attract the two people guarding the door.
As soon as Xu Zhaohua saw the two people leaving, he hurried into the meditation room.
