Chapter 5 Friends
The Imperial Study.
The emperor's expression was serious, and he handed a book to Long Yizheng, Long Yizheng took it, and read it carefully, this is the Xiangzhou prefect Yao Yingjie's impeachment of Xiao Peng, the general stationed in Hunan for corruption, private recruitment of soldiers and horses, and a long-term disobedience.
After Long Yizheng finished reading it, the emperor looked at Liu Hongtai, the left minister on the side, Liu Hongtai immediately understood, and stepped forward to hand another book to Long Yizheng, Long Yizheng only realized after reading it that this book was actually Xiao Peng's criticism of Yao Yingjie's dereliction of duty and other three major crimes.
The emperor looked at Long Yizheng and suddenly asked, "What does King Yi think, what should I do with Yao Yingjie?" ”
Long Yizheng thought about it seriously and said cautiously: "The matter is big, and how to deal with it depends on whether the father will treat this stubborn disease quickly or slowly." ”
The emperor smiled and said: "King Yi has said that this is a stubborn disease, how can it be cured quickly?" ”
Long Yizheng said seriously: "Erchen is a little curious about this Yao Yingjie, whether this person is loyal or traitorous, Erchen can't judge now. ”
"Whether he is guilty or not, he has to come to this Shengjing, and then King Yi will take a closer look for me." After the emperor finished speaking, he said to Liu Hongtai again, "Hongtai, I want to see Yao Yingjie alive." ”
Liu Hongtai immediately understood, took a step forward and said, "The minister understands." ”
Long Yizheng thought about it, and saluted the emperor seriously: "Father, the son fought with a few Xiliang people in the suburbs of Beijing the day before yesterday, they are all businessmen on the surface, and the son of the minister estimates that there are spies among them, at this time, what can make the Xiliang people jealous must be the marriage between my Tiansheng and Nantang, does my father want to send some more people to send relatives?" ”
The emperor looked at Long Yizheng with sharp eyes, and said slowly: "I have already prepared, sending relatives is really three times, and your eldest sister is escorted by other horses, you don't have to worry at all." ”
Wen Youran had just returned home, and the maid came over to invite her over, and after asking, she realized that it was Wei Bingyu who came, thinking all the way that she wouldn't be here to fight with herself, right? When Wen leisurely strode into the main hall, he saw Wei Bingyu who was smiling, and his emotions relaxed.
"Leisurely, you're finally back, Miss Bingyu has been waiting for you for a long time." Jiang Shi saw Wen come leisurely and smiled.
After Wen Youran politely saluted the main mother, he glanced at the large pile of gifts on the vermilion case, and then looked at Wei Bingyu and said, "You don't know that Miss Bingyu is coming, it's rude." ”
Wei Bingyu looked at the Jiang family, knowing that such a party was uncomfortable, so he took the initiative to pull Wen to go shopping on the street leisurely, and the atmosphere immediately relaxed when he left the mansion.
Wen smiled leisurely and said, "I thought you came to fight with me." ”
"If we really fight, we just fell for Liu Yan's girl's calculation." Wei Bingyu smiled, looked at Wen Youran and said, "Someone saw that she hit you, and then you hit me again." ”
Wen Youran frowned, she really didn't expect Liu Yan to be this kind of person.
Wei Bingyu looked at Wen Youran's face of disbelief, and smiled slightly: "That girl has been very careful since she was careful, but now she is getting older and more brainy." ”
Wen smiled leisurely and said apologetically: "Anyway, it was indeed me who made a fool of you last time." ”
Wei Bingyu remembered what happened last time, and couldn't help laughing, "It's harmless, I see that your temperament is quite similar to mine." ”
Wen smiled leisurely and took the initiative to say: "We don't know each other if we don't fight, I'll invite you to dinner." ”
"Good! Then I'm going to Tianxiang Building. ”
"I haven't been to Tianxianglou, so I don't know where the place is."
"I just know it!" Wei Bingyu said, motioning for his entourage to stay away, and took Wen leisurely and strode towards the street.
Shengjing's East Street is famous for eating and playing, the streets are full of cars and horses, and there are all kinds of restaurants on both sides. To say that the best part of this business is the famous Tianxiang Building, all kinds of fine wine and dishes are complete, the signature Tianxiang elbow, roast duck is a must, so that gourmets linger.
Today's Tianxianglou is as full of diners as before, after Xiao Er arranged for them to sit down, Wei Bingyu skillfully ordered the food, Wen Youran then knew that she was a frequent customer here, Wen Youran looked at the wooden menus hanging on the wall, and then found that the silver he brought seemed to be not enough to invite this meal.
Wei Bingyu followed Wen Youran's gaze, instantly understood, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, if you eat here, you just need to report to my house and don't have to settle the bill." ”
"Hmm--" Wen Youran nodded and looked at Wei Bingyu carefully, "You are the future Princess Yu, how could your father be so loose in control of you?" ”
"It is precisely because I am the one who wants to be the princess that my father can't control me." Wei Bingyu smiled, thought about it, and whispered again, "You are often in the palace, can you tell me what kind of person King Yu is?" ”
Wen smiled leisurely, thought for a while, and said, "King Yu is handsome and very tall. ”
Wei Bingyu wrinkled her nose and smiled playfully, and continued to ask with interest: "What else?" ”
"King Yu's personality should be very easy-going, I haven't seen him many times, the last time I saw him, he was very calm and very good-looking!" Wen leisurely said King Yu, but Long Yizheng's appearance appeared in his mind.
"Alright! As long as he is good-looking, then I will not lose money if I marry him. ”
Wen smiled leisurely, and said heartlessly: "How can you lose money if you marry King Yu?" All the women of Tiansheng are married to King Yu, right? ”
"You're older than me, why aren't you as mature as me? Even if it's an ordinary person, you can't understand it? Since ancient times, the emperor's family has been the most ruthless, and King Yu must be an amorous person if he is good-looking as you said, and he will inevitably marry more in the future. Wei Bingyu took a sip of tea, sighed deeply, and said helplessly, "When I marry into the palace, I will have no freedom like the bird in a cage." ”
Wen Youran realized that he had never thought about this, and suddenly remembered Long Yizheng, and his mood suddenly felt a little sad and lost for some reason.
Wei Bingyu took a deep breath and laughed to himself: "I often think about how good it would be if I were a man, but unfortunately my fate is a foregone conclusion, it seems to be glorious, who can understand such helplessness?" ”
Listening to Wei Bingyu's words, Wen Youran thought for a while, and after a while, said softly: "When you say that, I suddenly think of my aunt, she is Concubine Qing." ”
"Concubine Qing? I only heard that she was not favored and had no children, and I hardly heard of other stories about her. ”
Wen Youran didn't go to Shangyang Palace many times, but her aunt's lonely appearance was deeply imprinted in her mind, and for a long time, Wen Youran said quietly: "I didn't understand it before, but now I think about it, my aunt's feeling of being suffocated like death is really terrifying!" ”
"Concubine Qing is so pitiful! It's a pity that the emperor favors the queen alone, I have already figured it out, I don't want King Yu to be the only favor, as long as he has a little place in his heart in the future. Wei Bingyu smiled thoughtfully.
The little servant put the dishes together, Wei Bingyu looked at Wen Youran, who didn't seem to be happy, and hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Youran, don't mention this, hurry up and eat something." ”
