Chapter 59: The Former Dynasty
Jiang Huaiming had already given her the screen, Jiang Wan thought about it, and still had to mention the screen openly and secretly.
After lunch, after Liu Ying finished cleaning up, she came over and said to Jiang Huan, "Miss has a really good appetite today, and I ate two bowls of rice." Did something good happen to Miss? ”
Is it a good thing?
It doesn't seem to be.
But when Liu Ying said this, Jiang Wan realized that she seemed to be much more relaxed than before. Although she is against other people's bodies, she is still Jiang Wan in her bones. But her life now is very different from her previous life. She didn't expect that such a life would make her feel much more relaxed.
Jiang Wan couldn't help but smile, the royal people are really not easy to be, they are born with heavy burdens.
"Miss?"
Jiang Wan got up, stretched her arms, and then lowered her head to look, feeling that she seemed to have gained some weight recently.
"You're right, I ate a little more at noon. Let's go out for a walk. If this body continues like this, I'm afraid that I won't be able to move even if it comes to autumn hunting. ”
Hearing Jiang Wan mention the autumn hunt, Liu Ying hurriedly said, "Miss is going to participate in the autumn hunt, can you bring the slave and maid with you?" The slave maid is so big, and she has never seen such a big scene, so the young lady will take the slave and maid to see it. ”
Jiang Wan looked at Liuying and said, "It's not impossible to take you there, but I also want to see if you have performed well recently." Perhaps, I may not necessarily take Ping'er with me. ”
"Miss......"
Jiang Wan saw that Ping'er was walking by outside the house, so she took the initiative to shout, "Ping'er ......"
Ping'er hesitated for a moment, walked in, and saluted, "Miss......"
"Ping'er, I've eaten too much, you can accompany me to the garden for a walk."
"Miss......" looked at Liuying in confusion.
Jiang Wan walked out directly, Liu Ying pointed at Jiang Huan, motioned her to chase out, and Ping'er immediately followed.
Ping'er followed behind Jiang Huan, without saying a word, Jiang Wan could see that she was a little nervous.
"Screen ......"
"Huh? Miss. Ping'er replied nervously.
Jiang Wan couldn't help but smile, "Why are you so scared?" I don't eat people. ”
Ping'er lowered her head and muttered, "Miss already knows that the slave maid is actually ......."
Jiang Wan directly took Ping'er's words and said, "Know that you are the person of King Huai'an?" ”
Ping'er hung his head and was silent.
Jiang Wan said, "Then why did you come back?" ”
Ping'er raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Huan, "It's the prince who said that the slave maid will be the one who will be the young lady in the future, so he will follow the young lady." ”
"Will you follow me, then?"
Ping'er looked at Jiang Wan and didn't speak.
"If you don't want to, I can send you back to Huai'an Palace."
"Please don't drive the slave away." Ping'er hurriedly said, "The prince has already given the slave to the young lady, if the young lady doesn't want the slave and the maid, then the slave and the maid will have nowhere to go." ”
Jiang Wan looked at Ping'er steadily, she was a timid and easily panicked person, but it was easy to control.
"So, you're still willing to follow me?"
Ping'er nodded hurriedly, "The slave is willing, as long as the young lady doesn't drive the slave and the maid away, the slave and the maid are willing to stay with the young lady and work hard." ”
"Okay." Jiang Wan paused and said, "But since it's my person, I'll have to say a few more words." These days, as you must know, I have been estranged from you because I know that you are not faithful to me. If you want me to treat you as kindly as a firefly, you have to show me that you are faithful to me, and that you have no second heart. Otherwise, there is no point in me keeping you by my side. Ping'er, do you understand what I said? ”
Ping'er knelt down and said, "The slave understands what Miss means." The prince has already agreed with the slave and maid, and he has nothing to do with him after that. If you serve a young lady, you are just a young lady's person. Miss rest assured, although the slave maid has no ability and is not as smart as Sister Liuying, the slave and maid must serve the young lady wholeheartedly, and there is no second heart. ”
Jiang Wan looked at Ping'er and felt that her words were still credible. In fact, what is interesting is Jiang Huai, he seems to have guessed that this is her plan, and he is willing to be fooled, and told Ping'er early to let her follow her directly. She, the royal brother, seems to be much smarter than she imagined.
With the screen by his side, there seems to be no threat.
Thinking like this, Jiang Wan said, "Hurry up." There are so many people in this garden, and people who don't know think I'm bullying my own people! ”
Ping'er cried with joy and said, "Thank you, Miss, thank you, Miss." ”
"When did you enter the Prime Minister's Mansion? Could it be that King Huai'an placed you in the Prime Minister's Mansion for another purpose in the first place? "Ping'er appeared in the Prime Minister's Mansion, it must be Jiang Huai who also has a purpose for Xie Qi. It's just that the purpose of this is to spy on him or to win him over, it is unknown.
Ping'er shook her head, "Although the slave maid has been in the Prime Minister's Mansion for a while, the prince has never summoned me, and it was not until the young lady appeared that the slave and the maid were called to approach the young lady." ”
Jiang Wan was thoughtful.
"Miss ......" At this time, when she heard another person calling her Miss, Jiang Wan looked behind Ping'er and saw that it was Ling Lan coming over.
But at this time, she was covered with a veil.
"Ling Lan, you are already the second brother's concubine, you don't have to call me Miss again and again when you see me." Jiang Wan said lukewarmly.
Ling Lan bowed slightly and said, "Ling Lan doesn't dare to be ungrateful." Ling Lan has the grace of today's young lady's rescue. Ling Lan couldn't do anything for Miss, so she could only shout Miss like this, respecting Miss in her heart. ”
It's very beautiful, but I don't know how much of it is true.
"Second brother is really blessed to have such a virtuous wife as you." Jiang Wan smiled and asked casually, "What's the matter with your face?" ”
Ling Lan touched her face through the veil and said with a smile, "Miss, don't laugh at me. It's all Ling Lan's own trouble. My sister couldn't go to the hunting ground for autumn hunting because she was pregnant, and Ling Lan had never seen such a big scene, so she begged her husband to take me there. Xianggong hurt me, so he agreed. I thought that the first time I went, I would definitely see many princes and nobles, and I would definitely not lose my face. Yesterday, I went to buy some rouge gouache, thinking that I would dress up more beautifully. Who knows...... My face is not angry, I am probably allergic to the rouge, and I have a lot of red rashes, which are itchy and unbearable. Now it can only be shown with a veil, so as not to frighten others. I don't know if I can go to the hunting ground anymore. ”
Ling Lan said, her tone was a little regretful.
Jiang Wan said, "What can't you go?" There will also be some young ladies who have not yet come out of the hunting ground, and most of them are also veiled. ”
"Really?" Ling Lan said happily.
Jiang Wan nodded.
Ling Lan was overjoyed, but she didn't forget to ask, "How did Miss know?" Didn't Miss Murphy have been there before? ”
Jiang Wan was stunned for a moment, and before she could answer, she only heard Ping'er say, "Why did Miss go?" The young lady was in the nunnery before. It's just that now the young lady is well-informed, and she has heard people talk about it. ”
Jiang Wan glanced at Ping'er, and Ping'er stepped aside and didn't speak again.
Ling Lan said, "I see. But this autumn hunt, I heard that Miss is also going, so Ling Lan will be able to go with Miss. ”
Jiang Wan looked at Ling Lan and seemed to be smiling happily, but she really didn't have the interest in seeing her so hypocritical, so she said, "I'm tired of walking, I'm going back to rest." Linglan, in fact, you are naturally beautiful, but you don't have to apply those rouge gouaches. Ping'er, let's go. ”
"Yes, miss."
When she was about to arrive at the courtyard, Ping'er followed Jiang Wan and said, "Miss, did the slave just say the wrong thing?" ”
Jiang Wan turned her head to look at Ping'er and smiled, "No, what you said is very good." ”
Ping'er was overjoyed, "Really? The slave was stupid, and thought she had said the wrong thing. ”
"No, you're doing a good job."
Jiang Wan said, turned her head and walked into the courtyard, just in time to see that inside the open door, Chu Yu was sitting at the table, holding a colorful feather in his hand.
Jiang Wan immediately said to Ping'er, "You go down to do things first." I'll call you if there's something. ”
"Yes, miss."
Leaving Ping'er, Jiang Wan walked into the house quickly, and she reached out and touched her sleeve. The colorful feather is still there. So how could Chu Yu have one in his hand?
"Little fox, such beautiful feathers, where did they come from?" Jiang Wan walked in and closed the door.
Chu Yu raised his eyes and glanced at the door that was closed by Jiang Huan, and said, "In broad daylight, why did the lady close the door?" ”
Jiang Wan sat down in front of Chu Yu, still staring at the feather in Chu Yu's hand, and asked, "Little fox, where did this come from?" ”
Chu Yu handed the feather to Jiang Huan, "You seem to be very interested in this." ”
"I just think it's pretty."
"Really? But do you know who the owner of this feather is? ”
"Glass Bird." Jiang Wan blurted out.
Chu Yu looked at Jiang Wan with some surprise, "You actually know the glass bird?" ”
Jiang Wan listened to Chu Yu's words and said, "It seems that I am not the only one who knows!" ”
Chu Yu said, "The glass bird is a kind of bird played by the nobles of the previous dynasty, because it is a colorful feather, it is quite beautiful, and it is very popular with those noble sons and ladies. However, this is a bird from the previous dynasty, and if no one raises it carefully, it should not survive. How did you appear in the imperial capital? ”
Seeing that Chu Yu was also a little puzzled, Jiang Wan asked, "Where did you pick up this feather?" ”
Chu Yu shook it for a moment and said, "It's in the courtyard." ”
Jiang Wan was shocked. First in the Prime Minister's Mansion she saw colorful feathers, and then in the Yuwang Mansion there were colorful feathers. Chu Yu is right, this kind of bird is actually gone. The people of the Jin Kingdom were not interested in the glass bird. It can't live without careful care of it. Therefore, there are people in the imperial capital who are raising glass birds.
Could it be someone from the previous dynasty?
Jiang Wan couldn't help but recall that back then, she, the imperial brother, and the Wei Xinbing attacked the palace of the previous dynasty together in several ways, and all the royal personnel were killed one by one under the order of the imperial brother. Once the success is done, Jiang Wan has no way to stop it. There are too many innocent people in it, and in addition to old women, there are even babies. Jiang Wan still seems to be able to hear their begging for mercy and crying in her dreams sometimes.
It was a long time ago, and the first emperor also felt that the feng shui of the imperial capital of the previous dynasty was not good, so he set the imperial capital here. The climate here is even more unsuitable for the survival of glass birds. Therefore, the appearance of the glass bird is definitely not accidental.
"What are you thinking?" Chu Yu saw that Jiang Wan was distracted, and asked lightly.
Jiang Wan smiled and shook her head, "I think Xianggong knows a lot." ”
Chu Yu said, "It's not surprising that I know a lot, it's strange that you, a young lady who grew up in a nunnery, actually knew a glass bird." ”
Jiang Wan was slightly stunned, and then she was also calm. Anyway, Chu Yu has always been suspicious of her, and he can't suspect that there is a reason for this, so he simply goes with Chu Yu.
Seeing that Jiang Wan didn't explain, Chu Yu didn't ask, but said, "Do you know that the glass bird had another use before it became the pet bird of the nobles?" ”
"What?"
——
The middle of the night is like a huge curtain that closes the entire imperial capital in pitch black.
In a secluded alley, two figures.
"Have you already arranged all the people?" The tone was cold, without the slightest warmth.
"Yes!"
"Well, you'll go too."
"Yes!" After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Lord, this time is too risky, if you fail......"
Cold laughter sounded in the dark night, and the listeners were terrified, "Don't worry, there will be a second time in this failure." I don't believe that the dog emperor should die. You do what you have to do. ”
"Yes!"
"He still hasn't doubted you, has he? It would be nice if you could help me do that......" There was a little pity in the words.
"Lord, subordinates are incompetent, I'm afraid ......"
"It doesn't matter. As long as this time is successful, it doesn't matter if he is there or not. Anyway......" The corners of his lips hooked up a wicked smile.
The man stood, hesitated, and said, "Lord, this time is successful, and my subordinates have something to ask for. ”
"I know what. If it succeeds, don't worry, I will promise you everything you want. ”
With a smile on his face, he said respectfully, "Thank you, Lord." ”
