The south is warm, and the scene of early winter has the beauty of spring. The hoarfrost is soft and light, the fine grass is budding, and the leaves of the tree are yellow like the first buds. The north wind lingers, the weather is clear, and the wild geese fly south.

"If you really raise your voice from afar, it's not by the autumn wind." Listening to the conversation of everyone in the market after dinner, I renewed a cup of tea: "There has long been Emperor Ji of Lianghong Lingyue who is kind and good at giving reputation to the world, and now there is Da Honglu for unknown reasons to abandon the brocade and marry Lingzhou." There is also the argument that I respect each other like guests and raise my eyebrows...... The speed with which the rumors spread is really exciting. ”

I don't know why, Zhen Sheng tilted his head and thought: "But what Emperor Ji said is true, although it is not a good thing, but it is not groundless." She smiled and leaned closer: "Emperor Ji and Da Honglu, are they not a loving couple?" ”

Glancing at her, I looked at the sun: "Da Honglu entered the palace to meet him, and I don't know when I will come back." I'm a little hungry this time. ”

"The kitchen has prepared the meal, but the emperor wants to use it first?" Seeing that I shook my head, Zhen Sheng smiled and said, "The emperor wants to dine with Da Honglu, so ...... The slave maid is going to get the emperor a jade bean cake, right? ”

"No need." Before anyone saw the sound, Zong Zhengxu strode into the room. Zhen Sheng wanted to leave with a playful salute, but was waved by Zong Zhengxu to signal that it was okay. He looked over with a smile: "I just met a girl on the side of the street. Who is Yue Muchai? ”

Xu knew that I would be uncomfortable, and after marriage, Zong Zhengxu never called my wife, but he was still obsessed with the word "Yuemu". At first, he was still worried about others around him, but gradually he seemed to be a little unscrupulous, if others were curious to ask more, he said "Yuemu" is a small character in my boudoir, and the questioner smiled admiringly.

"Girl?" After knowing each other for several years, I know that Zong Zhengxu is not a person who has a love for children. Even if he told me his heartfelt feelings when he was in Lianghong Xihuang, he didn't mention it half a sentence after returning to the night. Which girl should be looked at by him, I am really a little curious.

Still looking at me with a smile, Zong Zhengxu glanced at Zhen Sheng, who was standing aside and frowned slightly, and couldn't help laughing: "Zhen Sheng, don't look at me so bitterly and hatefully." I didn't do anything that didn't stop Yuemu. That girl, Yue Muyuan also recognized. ”

"I recognize it too?" Slightly surprised, I thought back to the people I met overnight, and I immediately thought about it, and I couldn't help but be surprised: "Xin Yi? ”

"Not bad." Zong Zhengxu sat down in a good mood, holding a cup of tea: "I saw her buying things on the side of the road, so I stepped forward to greet her." It's just that for some reason, she seems to have something on her mind. ”

"Isn't there something going on in Hanshan Temple?" Frowning and thinking carefully, I pursed my lips and raised my eyes to look at Zong Zhengxu: "If you are okay tomorrow, let's go to Hanshan Temple for a trip, okay?" ”

The movement of his hand was slight, and Zong Zhengxu looked at me meaninglessly. I knew that this request was sudden, but I was afraid that it would disrupt his original plan, but I still tried reluctantly: "It's been a while since I left Hanshan Temple, but I miss the abbot a little. I think it is reasonable for Emperor Ling Zhou to be newly married to Da Honglu and go to Hanshan Temple to visit together. …… If anything happens to you, I'll ...... it myself."

"Tomorrow, we'll go." Before I finished speaking, Zong Zhengxu took over, he lowered his eyes and continued to drink tea, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked: "When I was newly married, I still can't forget my original intention, and I believe that no one will have objections." ”

When the matter was decided, I was in a good mood, and I wandered around the sect government with her for a long time, and when I returned to my room, dinner had arrived. Zong Zhengxu was holding the spoon with his sleeves half-rolled up, smiled lightly at me, and put the porcelain bowl in front of me after the soup was served. In the middle of the hour, the two of us blew out the candles in the house as usual, and after a few more moments, he took a candlestick with a glimmering light, pushed open a secret door, and walked into the adjoining room.

The night I checked into the Zong government, I thought there was something strange about this room. It wasn't until Zong Zhengxu demonstrated that he pushed the wall separating him from the room that he understood where this strange feeling came from. Except for a few days on the night of our wedding and the secret agents in the palace came to investigate, Zong Zhengxu stayed in this house all night, and the rest of the days were just to avoid the rest of the people in the Zong government, so as not to be relatively embarrassed by him and me. Therefore, what the outside world said made Emperor Zhou and Da Honglu respect each other like guests, but what they said was true.

The next morning, I stripped off my intricate and ornate skirt and wore only a simple full-breasted skirt with a fringed bun. The undergarment is covered with grass-colored silk, with silk cotton in the middle, and a piece of white and green silk silk at the end of the sleeve. The skirt is also made of silk cotton, which is connected and combined with four plain silk pieces, and the material is made of tooth-colored silk silk. Pleats at the waist and silk sash at the skirt.

Zhen Sheng is also only dressed as an ordinary daughter, wearing a turquoise gown and a double bun. When the two of us went out of the room, we saw that Zong Zhengxu's clothes and accessories were as usual, still a round-necked robe with a purple shirt, but he did not wear a beam crown, but tied a red and purple silk to wipe his forehead, which also complemented each other.

"How do you dress up like that?" Instead, he asked in surprise first, and I chuckled: "I don't want to be too public." After all, it's just to visit old acquaintances, and it's not a big deal, so why bother with it. ”

After a moment of agreement, Zong Zhengxu took the lead in leading the way, and I got into the carriage with Ji Sheng, and he rode forward separately with Ji Die. Chatting with Zhen Sheng all the way, just as I had taught Xin Yi embroidery, she also pestered me and asked me to embroider one for her, but there was an uproar outside the carriage.

"Isn't it that the people are coming over and want to bet on the true face of the emperor?" Zhen Sheng cautiously opened a corner of the car curtain: "If that's the case, it's okay...... Ay? ”

"What's wrong?" If it is as Zhen Sheng said, I can't stay too long today. I was a little sullen, and Zhen Sheng turned his head and said in surprise: "In front is Hanshan Temple, and there are a bunch of people gathered at the foot of the mountain. It's just that...... It doesn't seem to be because of us. ”

Lifting the curtain and looking straight over, a group of people in front of them were crowded together in a noisy manner, but if you look closely, it looks like one of them is around. Looking at the expressions of the people on the periphery, most of them are also unclear. I secretly said that this is in response to my thoughts yesterday, Hanshan Temple is only afraid that there is really some trouble, and I was about to ask the coachman to speed up, but the carriage slowly stopped.

Zong Zhengxu had to enter. Before I asked, he should explain first: "The group of people in front of me came to Hanshan Temple to make trouble. The leader's name is Xiong Bin. ”

“…… Why? Looking at him, I began to understand why I was here today. Since Zong Zhengxu said yesterday that he met Xin Yi, everything that happened today has been in his plan.

My eyes were calm and unfazed, but Zong Zhengxu's eyes dimmed, and he spoke softly, saying elsewhere: "Xiong Bin's father's name is Xiong Bingmao, and he is the imperial historian of the dynasty at night. This man had always been hostile to his father. ”

"Previously, in order to consider how to settle Yuemu, Xu had frequent contacts with Hanshan Temple for a period of time. But he was seen by Xiong Bingmao's people and wanted to take advantage of this to make a living. ”

"Xu did meet Miss Xinyi on the street yesterday." After being silent, Zong Zhengxu explained in one more move, and I lowered my eyes and didn't look at him: "And the reason why Miss Xinyi is troubled is because of Xiong Bin." ”

"Xiong Bin was ordered by his father to go to Hanshan Temple to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, wanting to force Xu or his father to show up. Who knew that one day he actually bumped into the backyard of Hanshan Temple, and when he saw Xin Yi, he saw that he wanted to marry Xin Yi as a concubine. ”

Xin Yi refused, and Xiong Bin became more and more intense. I continued what Zong Zhengxu said and looked at the crowd outside the car: "When Xiong Bingmao heard about this, he felt that this was an opportunity that could not be missed, so he also acquiesced to Xiong Bin's misconduct. You are here with me today to use Xiong Bin's incident to get rid of the political enemies of the prime minister in one fell swoop? ”

“…… Be. After hesitating for a few seconds, Zong Zhengxu quickly answered. I took a long breath and didn't squint: "As the eldest emperor, it is indeed easier to act than the Great Honglu. It's just that if Xinyi is used as bait, the premise is that the abbot and the people of Hanshan Temple are threatened with safety...... Da Honglu's move really chilled Ling Zhou's heart. ”

Skipped him and got out of the car, I didn't look at Ji Die, who was waiting next to the car, and only said lightly: "Da Honglu, please go up the mountain and enter the temple with Ji Die." Lingzhou stayed at the bottom of the mountain, and if there was a situation that required Lingzhou to come forward, it would be notified by Ji Die. It is better to solve this matter quickly. ”

"Yes." His face was expressionless, Mu Ran responded, Ji Di didn't move, and I walked to the side with Zhen Sheng. Zong Zhengxu then came out of the carriage, looked at me and stopped talking, then walked towards the temple.

Zong Zheng Gengfu and Zong Zheng Xu are to remove the obstacles between the DPRK and China, and I can understand this move, I am not a bodhisattva, and I will not stop it. It's just that according to what Zong Zhengxu once said to me, he has no interest in his dealings with Hanshan Temple, just to find the only remaining peace in his heart. The abbot is innocent, Xin Yi is innocent, and the monks of Hanshan Temple are all innocent, but he deceived me here with peace of mind. What happened today was expected by him, but he insisted that I speak before he came. I don't annoy others, I only annoy Zong Zhengxu for repeatedly using people's sincerity.

After waiting for a long time with a cool breeze, the unwillingness and depression in my heart gradually dissipated. I went back to the carriage with Zhen Sheng, sat down side by side with my skirt, and Zhen Sheng looked at my face and tried to talk to me.

Laughed by her cautious attitude, I smiled and sighed, "It would be nice if I were like you", and Ji Die's voice sounded outside the curtain: "Emperor Lingzhou." ”

"What?" I replied calmly, and Ji Di said indifferently: "The son entered the temple and was bumping into Xiong Bin head-on. Xiong Bin triumphantly rushed to the onlookers and said that what he said was true, and it was because of the protection of the prime minister and the son that Hanshan Temple dared to do whatever he wanted, and did not take him seriously. The girl named Xin Yi was helpless in the hall, and was entangled with Xiong Bin at the moment. ”

“…… Got it. Signaling Zhen Sheng to follow, I got out of the carriage and walked towards the mountain with Ji Die: "You go and tell Da Honglu that when I enter the temple, don't recognize me, let alone reveal my identity." Whatever I do next, don't say anything, just watch. ”

"Ling Zhou took advantage of the wisdom of Da Honglu to catch Xiong Bin off guard."
