Chapter 162: Another White Tiger
It turned out that the little white tiger ran to the back mountain to play last night, and found a masked man sneakily leaving from this cave, so the little white tiger walked into this cave and found this white tiger.
The white tiger had been lying still at first, the little white tiger thought it was dead, and crawled next to it all night, but the next day the white tiger woke up, and the little white tiger hurriedly ran to Zhaoyang Courtyard to report the news.
Because it didn't go back overnight, and its body was wet again, the little white tiger was afraid that Zuo Tingxue would blame it, so he first saw if Zuo Tingxue was angry.
Seeing that Zuo Tingxue was not angry, the little white tiger led Zuo Tingxue to the cave.
After a while, Jiu'er came with the medicine to clean the wound, and Zuo Tingxue helped Baihu clean the wound and bandage it.
Regarding this matter, Zuo Tingxue knew that this masked man must have been instructed by a concubine in the palace, but why did that person hurt a tiger?
And what is the matter with only cutting the knife on the tiger and not killing it?
What is the conspiracy of this mastermind?
Zuo Tingxue didn't think much about it, and she didn't deliberately investigate At this time, she asked people to secretly send Baihu out of the palace, and then asked Jiu'er to secretly inquire about the news.
………………………………
Inside Hualin Palace, Shen Tingting waited for Zhang Kun to leave for a long time before following a maid with fruits into the plum garden.
The plum garden is strange, from the gate of Hualin Palace to enter through a long corridor, and then detour into an arch to see that piece of world.
The word "Plum Garden" was written on the head of the arch, and Shen Tingting deliberately paid attention to it when she passed by, always feeling that the handwriting was very familiar, but it was not good to stay at the arch and only glanced at it so hurriedly and put her mind in her heart, and she sat on the seat and couldn't help but wonder who the handwriting came from.
A large open space was vacated in the middle of the plum garden, and the ground was covered with smooth bluestone slabs, which had long been swept away from the snow, and a bright red carpet was laid along the banquet tables on both sides, and a half-man's tall vase was placed every two tables, in which neatly built red plums were inserted. There are two high platforms at the head and tail, Zhang Qian in formal clothes is sitting at the head, and on the high platform at the end is the actor with heavy makeup babbling and singing.
Behind the guests, there were two tall pillars, and two curtains hung down from a straight horizontal bar, fluttering pure white, scattered on the snow, separating a piece of heaven and earth from the banquet in the middle, and not hindering people from enjoying the scorching plum blossoms that bloomed around them through the transparent curtains.
This place is exquisitely designed, and it is indeed a good place to enjoy plum blossoms.
Shen Tingting went late, so she had to sit at the end of the seat, and sat on a table opposite, but Zhang Lin, who had always been cold-faced, was missing.
A table diagonally opposite was empty, probably reserved for the perverted Zhang Leopard.
Zhang Kun's brows were tightly gathered together, and his peach blossom eyes were no longer as warm as before, but with a deep face, he was holding a wine jug and drinking one cup after another.
The melancholy and helplessness between the eyebrows were written on her face, and with the action of raising her head and swallowing wine, it was engraved into Shen Tingting's sight.
Shen Tingting raised her eyes to look at Zhang Qian on the stage, and only felt that Zhang Qian was in a very good mood today, even the long smile that stood next to Zhang Qian and usually lowered her head looked beautiful, and the flush on her face should not be in this cold weather, and it was pleasing to the eye.
Zhang Kun has something on his mind, but Shen Tingting is not easy to ask at this time.
No, it's too lazy to ask.
Shen Tingting shrugged her shoulders, raised her glass and faced Zhang Kun opposite, and drank it all in one go.
I thought I was late, but I didn't expect someone to be even later, not long after Shen Tingting settled, she heard the eunuch sing: "Qi and the princess have arrived-"
The shrill voice went straight into the eardrums, but before the sound stopped, I saw Qi He walking in in white, and the maid behind him lifted the curtain and looked around, and accurately led Qi He to sit next to Shen Tingting.
Qihe's face was pale, his expression was slightly in a trance, and he didn't seem to have gotten rid of the grief of losing his mother, and when he saw Shen Tingting, he just nodded lightly: "Mother is fine." ”
Princess Qi and Princess were also raised by the Queen Mother since childhood, and they are still unmarried.
Shen Tingting subconsciously grabbed Qihe's hand, and a burst of heart-piercing coldness spread all the way to the bottom of her heart through her palm, Zhang Tingting frowned and said: "Look at the princess is wearing a lot of clothes, but her hand is like she just took it out of the ice cave, but is she sick?" ”
Qihe glanced at Shen Tingting blankly, and sneered: "Now that I'm sick or not, what's the matter?" The body of the queen mother is not cold, and the wind of the new queen mother rises in the previous dynasty, and there is a plum banquet here, and the red carpet is spread. It's better to close your eyes, out of sight is pure. ”
Qihe's voice was very small, and it was just enough for Shen Tingting, who was only allowed to listen carefully, to hear it. Shen Tingting clenched Qihe's hand, but when she closed her eyes, the paleness on her lips was even worse. Just slightly hooked the corners of his lips, revealing some mocking smiles.
Shen Tingting pursed her lips and patted Qihe's hand: "Things will always take a turn for the better." ”
Qi He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Shen Tingting: "Niangniang's words are already at the bottom?" ”
Shen Tingting gritted her teeth: "You have to work together with the princess." ”
Qi He raised his eyebrows, and there was a light in his eyes, as if he saw hope in Shen Tingting in an instant, and in an instant, he took off the lifelessness of his body when he first entered the scene, and held Shen Tingting's hand: "I really didn't misunderstand you." At this time, even if you want my life, I am willing. ”
Shen Tingting smiled bitterly: "Silly girl, you still have to live well to enjoy the life that you haven't had time to enjoy, don't give others a glimpse of the empty space and be beaten without a complete body." Isn't this plum feast for me to see? ”
Qihe nodded: "You tell me how to do it?" ”
Shen Tingting hadn't opened her mouth yet, and suddenly heard the sound of singing behind her abruptly stopped, and Zhang Qian's voice followed: "Qihe, I heard that your body is not good today, look at your pale face today, what is going on?" ”
Qihe glanced at Shen Tingting, and when he saw Shen Tingting glaring at him, he quickly covered his mouth and pretended to cough, and said, "Thank you for your concern, but I have been in the palace for a long time, and it is good to come out for a walk." ”
Zhang Qian nodded and said, "That's fine." Since the funeral of the Queen Mother, the palace has been gloomy and gloomy, but it can't go on like this forever. ”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone talked about it.
Shen Tingting was even more shocked, and grabbed Qihe's hand with some strength.
Zhao Guolai's envoy?
I haven't heard Feng Jinyi say this yet.
"A few days ago, the emperor led everyone to hunt in Zhao to strengthen the prestige of my Eastern Chu country, and two days ago, King Zhao was shocked to hear that I was going to come to mourn the funeral of the queen mother, and by the way, I came to visit Princess Gulun. My Dongchu is now the main country, so it is natural to publicize the wealth and strength of our country, so that the surrounding countries can return to obedience with peace of mind. Zhang Qian stood up, holding a long smile and walking all the way down from the high platform, the golden thread embroidered double phoenix on her body flashed in the sun, and the people who walked all the way down on the high platform were like immortals.
"There are also several county lords and princes of Zhao State, naturally they want to stay in the harem, and this heavy responsibility naturally falls on the harem, this palace hopes that everyone will have one more place to prepare, don't call a vassal country to see the joke."
Shen Tingting squinted her eyes and listened to Zhang Qian's melodious voice spread far away, but her heart tightened for no reason.
When Zhao Guo came to envoy, he must have to look at Gu Lun.
If it is found that Gu Lun is fake, it is not only as simple as not being able to get along with the Zhang family, but it must also involve diplomatic relations with Eastern Chu.
Shen Tingting felt more and more pressed for time, and subconsciously glanced at the entrance behind her.
Qi He frowned and said, "The envoy of Zhao State is coming at this time, I'm afraid it may not be a good thing." ”
Shen Tingting sneered: "Naturally, it's not a good thing. What's more, there are still people who instigate it. ”
"You said that this time King Zhao came to mourn his mother, it was arranged by Zhang Qian?" Qihe looked at Shen Tingting in surprise.
Shen Tingting nodded: "Although I'm not sure, I always feel that King Zhao's words of going to great lengths to condolence the Queen Mother are too far-fetched." ”
Qi He gasped: "This woman is determined to win over King Zhao." I heard that Princess Gulun married Zhang Bao, in fact, it can be regarded as announcing King Zhao's position of defecting to the Zhang family. It's just that Zhang Qian still wants to move this King Zhao here, I'm afraid there is something else. Is it to break the relationship between King Zhao and Eastern Chu, so that the surrounding small countries will not be submissive and unite with each other? It's insane! ”
"Hmm......" Shen Tingting groaned, wanting to tell Qi and Gu Lun something, but the occasion was wrong, after all, she just moved her lips and didn't make a sound.
Zhang Qian is not crazy, how smart is that person, how could he have no reaction to Gu Lun's rescue?
Sooner or later, Feng Jinyi will know about Gu Lun's affairs, and he will definitely respond to Gu Lun's affairs, even if it is not clear that it is not good, but secretly it will take action against Zhang Bao after all.
Now that Zhang Qian has moved the envoy of Zhao State, even Feng Jinyi can't do anything to Zhang Bao.
Because he still has to rely on Zhang Bao to act and maintain diplomatic relations with Zhao State.
"Damn." Shen Tingting cursed in a low voice, propped herself up and prepared to stand up.
"Huh...... Wouldn't it be lively enough for me to have a banquet like this? "I really said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, a smiling male voice came through the curtain, Shen Tingting paused and looked behind her, and saw this leopard walking in, followed by the "Princess Gulun" with long hair and half a curl, a little daughter's delicate appearance.
In this entire field, probably only Shen Tingting and a few brothers and sisters of the Zhang family know that this Princess Gulun is a fake at all.
It's just because of the deliberate cover-up that the fake Princess Gulun is still wearing the alien costumes on the grassland, but in Shen Tingting's eyes, it looks more and more like a cover-up.
Zhang Bao stepped over the path beside Shen Tingting, and deliberately glanced back at Shen Tingting, the smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden, and Shen Tingting felt a burst of disgust in her heart, so she gave the strength in her hand and sat down, picked up the tea bowl on the table and drank it all.
She wanted to see which play she was playing.
"Look...... As soon as I talked about you, you came. Zhang Qian looked at Gu Lun behind Zhang Bao with a smile, took two steps forward, intimately took the hand of the fake Gu Lun princess, and walked towards the high platform......
