The ministers held their breath and waited silently for Li Moting to speak. He was late to clean, and his voice was not as sharp as those eunuchs who had lost their hands early, and he still retained his masculine characteristics, which could even be called beautiful.

"Since the Emperor Taishang Zen was located in me, all the military affairs are important, the employment of people is strong, I have been conscientious all night and night, and I dare not relax myself. Zhu Guangxuan, the eldest son of the Emperor Taishang, is the head of the clan, to which the providence belongs, and is established as the crown prince. I hereby order Shen Hanxi, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Health Division, to assist the crown prince and divide the political ......"

There is still a lot more to the content of the decree, but many ministers have been shocked to sweat when they hear this.

None of them thought that the Holy Lord would appoint the eldest prince as the crown prince.

When the ministers left with different expressions, only Li Moting and Shen Hanxi were left in the same place, the two looked at each other from a distance, and he took the lead in speaking: "The road that Lord Shen is going to take next is not easy. The foundation of the eldest prince is unstable, and it is not easy for the cabinet to deal with it. Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly turned his head away. I saw that under the corridor, a woman in a scarlet palace dress stumbled over, and she ran away with a shoe halfway, but she didn't pay attention.

Su Long ignored Li Moting's gaze, rushed to Shen Hanxi, held his arm with both hands, and his finger bones turned white: "Let me go in to see the Holy Lord, now, right away!" ”

Shen Hanxi looked at her, and there was no warmth in his eyes: "Concubine Yi, Concubine Yi and Concubine Hui are waiting inside, what are you going to do to join in that fun?" ”

Su Long stubbornly looked at the person in front of him: "The one inside is the husband of the palace, he is sick, why can't the palace see him?" ”

Shen Hanxi looked at her for a long time, and said lightly: "Come on, pull Concubine Yi down." ”

The palace people stepped forward and pulled Su Long away, her expression was broken, and her tone finally softened: "Lord Shen, even if this palace begs you, if you let me see the saint, just take a look......"

Shen Hanxi dusted off the sleeves of her crumpled shirt with her hand, revealing a look of annoyance: "Niangniang still thinks it's not messy enough now?" Don't look at her anymore, and said to Li Moting, "If the official has something, the mother will hand it over to Li Zhangyin." ”

Su Long looked at his back and left, falling to the ground in a daze, her lips were a little white, and her whole body trembled. Li Moting walked up to her, helped her up, and comforted her gently: "Niangniang, don't sit here, it's not good to make trouble with the Queen Mother." If the mother feels uncomfortable, it is better to come and sit with me. As he spoke, he walked to the side and picked up the shoe she ran away from, walked back to her, bowed down, and gently held her ankle, Su Long's body immediately stiffened, and said, "Don't bother Li Zhangyin......

He lowered his eyebrows and smiled: "I am a eunuch, how many masters have I served, what am I afraid of." As he spoke, he helped her put on her shoes casually, then straightened up and stretched out a hand to her, which was more beautiful than a woman's hand, "Niangniang looks very messed up, the six gods have no master, hold my hand, maybe it will be better." ”

Su Long was almost bewitched by his words, her hand stretched out halfway and retracted, she glanced at the door of the tightly closed dormitory again, and muttered, "The Holy One knows, you should be angry." ”

Her emotions calmed down a little and silently followed behind Li Moting.

Although he is a eunuch, he has a graceful demeanor, like a white crane that has fallen into the mortal world, full of immortal energy, and Shen Hanxi, who is full of anger, are two extremes.

After a few turns in the winding corridor, he came to the residence of the celebrant and the celebrant, after he invited her to sit down, he poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over: "Gonggong Zhang has already gone to the eldest prince to preach the holy decree, there must be people in the cabinet who are dissatisfied with this result, the saint asked Lord Shen to assist the East Palace, one is to suppress those dissatisfactions, and the other is to remind the one who is about to enter the East Palace, this seat, he can not sit firmly if he wants to." The Holy Lord gave Lord Shen supreme rights, but at the same time gave him double pressure. Why should Niangniang find Lord Shen unhappy at this time. ”

Su Long didn't understand what he said, but she felt the killing intent from it, which spread to her fingertips, bringing a fine tremble.

"The previous dynasty was turbulent, and the harem would not be peaceful, so Niangniang had to plan for herself as soon as possible. Once the Holy Lord dies, many things will be out of control. ”

When she heard the word "death", her body shook suddenly, but it was also this sentence that made her wake up instantly. She closed her eyes for a moment, slowly opened them, and said, "Thank you Li Zhangyin for your care." Why is Li Zhangyin...... To be so good to Hongu? ”

Since she entered the palace, except for Shen Hanxi, it has been this person who has quietly resolved the crisis for herself, and he has taken care of herself like a spring breeze and rain, moisturizing things silently, but she has never guessed whether he is friend or foe. No one would be nice to another for no reason, let alone in a court where everyone has a scheming.

Li Moting just smiled and didn't speak. He walked to the bookshelf, found a copy of "Medicine Master Liuliguang Rulai Original Wish Merit Sutra", and prepared a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and said while studying the ink: "If Niangniang has nothing to do, come and copy the scriptures, you have to read the saint in your heart, you must let the saint know, even if the saint does not know, there are always others in the eyes." ”

It has been half a month since Song Ran returned to Beijing, and there were two rains in the middle, and it became hotter and hotter. The spring in Ling'an is short, and it leaves people behind in a blink of an eye. She stood sleepily under the eaves of the porch and yawned, the yard was full of the fragrance of grass and trees, the cherry blossom trees had long since withered, only a green leaf remained, and the weeping begonias were still blooming strongly, washed bright and fresh by the rain.

Everything seemed so harmonious, and the only thing that was not harmonious was probably the two people who were fighting in the courtyard.

Xia Xiaoqiu is a person who comes to fight when he doesn't agree with each other.

I saw him pick up a pot of green Luo and throw it at the dumb man, but he was kicked away by the dumb man, and saw that the green Luo drew a beautiful arc in the air and smashed it towards the little girl who came over with the basin......

Liu Niang screamed, the basin in her hand knocked over to the ground, Xia Xiaoqiu flew over and hugged the green Luo in her arms, but roared: "Don't you have long eyes?" What should I do if I see my master still moving forward in a fight, and he is injured? ”

Liuniang was so frightened that her face turned pale and she hurriedly hid behind Song Ran.

A few days ago, this little girl named Liuniang went to Dali Temple to record her confession, and Song Ran saw that she was homeless, which was very pitiful, so she left her in the house. Although she is thin and small, she has done rough work for many years, and she can do it better than a dumb person, and she does Zhong Bo a favor on weekdays, and she doesn't need to be paid, which makes Song Ran very satisfied.

The mute said: Actually, don't get paid is the point.

Song Ran raised his hand and rubbed his hair that was sleeping messily, and said to Xia Xiaoqiu: "Master Xia, don't scare Liuniang. ”

Xia Xiaoqiu hugged the green luo, put it back on the ground outside the corridor, and placed it side by side with the two pots of peonies, and said indifferently: "Master is this temper, I don't blame your dumb family, and I don't look at it, I almost hurt the little girl." ”

Song Ran knew that he was open-mouthed, smiled, then pulled Liu Niang's hand to fetch water to wash his face, and after rinsing his mouth, he sat at the dining table and ate the breakfast that Uncle Zhong bought. Several people sat around, taking steamed cakes and pickles, and they were happy.

Xia Xiaoqiu talked a lot, and he never stopped eating.

Recently, the saint has been seriously ill and the crown prince has been established, and those auxiliary ministers of the cabinet meet every day, and they are very noisy, Shen Hanxi is under pressure from many parties, and he mediates and runs among the elders of the cabinet every day, and there is no time to be idle. Recently, someone proposed that Xiao Yanguan be reinstated on the grounds of the shortage of talents in the six departments, which was clearly knowing the grievances between Xiao Yan and Shen Hanxi, and wanted one more person to break his elbow, Shen Hanxi naturally had to suppress this matter, but the one who got cheap in the East Palace favored Xiao Yan everywhere, and in the past few days, he has been frequently summoned to him.

Xia Xiaoqiu took a bite of the steamed cake hatefully, and said, "Miss Song, you say, isn't this a white-eyed wolf?" ”

Song Ran thought for a while and said, "I don't understand these things in the court, but it is indeed not easy for adults to be caught in the middle. ”

At this point, she understood why the eldest prince had frequent contacts with Shen Hanxi, and around that time, they all knew that there would be today. The second prince and the third prince are both young, and they are not as virtuous as the eldest prince, but no matter how virtuous he is, in the end, he is not the blood of the saint, and no one expected that the crown prince's position would eventually fall into his family.

As for the situation of the prince of the East Palace, Song Ran is not incomprehensible.

At this time, he needs to rely on Shen Hanxi, but he can't trust him wholeheartedly, the Holy Lord asked Shen Hanxi to assist the government, but if one day, he is unwilling to be the assistant government and wants to replace him - it is not impossible.

The trip to Hangzhou made Song Ran see many conspiracy calculations that are not usually seen, a small salt division can be linked to the party struggle, and now how deep the pool of water involved in Shen Hanxi is can be imagined.

Xia Xiaoqiu had a breakfast and took a saber to the court guard to Yingmao, while Song Ran took Liuniang and the mute to wander around the street. Liuniang grew up in Hangzhou Mansion since she was a child, and she has never been far away, so everything is fresh. The mute dutifully followed and worked as coolies.

I picked up some fabrics in the silk village, passed by Su Ji jewelry shop, and took it in to shop. Song Ran saw that Liu Niang couldn't put down a pair of green jade earrings, and generously said: "If you see it, you will buy it." ”

Liu Niang hesitated, but still put the things down, she was originally sent under the fence, how could she let her benefactor break the money for herself.

Song Ran hooked the corners of his lower lip and said to the mute: "Go ask the price and buy it." ”

The dumb man asked the price and handed the thing to Liuniang, who accepted it gratefully and looked at Song Ran, but saw that she was stretching out her hand towards a hosta.

Before his hand touched the hairpin, he was snatched by the other hand, and the other party grabbed it, and raised his eyebrows provocatively at her.

Song Ran was indifferent to her provocation, but felt slightly sorry for this hairpin. It is a mutton fat white hosta, one end is a hollow flower and leaf pattern, the jade is lush, white and flawless, there is a bas-relief on the hairpin, the knife is familiar and free, the line is smooth, and there is a famous style.

With just one glance, she took a fancy to this hairpin.

When the shopkeeper saw someone pick up this hairpin, he immediately praised: "The girl really has a vision, this is the work of Liu Zi'an, the holy hand of jade." ”

Liu Zi'an is a master of jade, skilled in craftsmanship, but unfortunately died young, so there are very few heirlooms, if the current hairpin is really from his hand, it can basically be concluded that it is a unique product.
