Chapter 9 Finding Trouble
When Concubine Yu heard this, she was anxious, "How did the queen mother speak?" A dagger, a dusty woman, just want to convict Yu Qing? ”
Empress Xia snorted coldly and was about to speak, but was still waved by the emperor and interrupted angrily: "Okay!" Arguing for so long over a trivial matter. As a queen, the queen has to be generous. He took a long breath, and after he calmed down, he frowned and ordered, "Yu Qing kills, ethics should be beheaded." Sheng Zong, go for it! ”
Sheng Zong was the emperor's personal eunuch, and when he heard this, he ignored Concubine Yu's obstruction and went to do something.
Concubine Yu's heart tightened, knowing that the emperor would not help her again this time, but she didn't understand, it was clear that the emperor was helping her at the beginning, why did it change in the past day?
.
In the Jinhua Palace, when Xie Fanghua and Wang Shufei learned for the first time that the emperor had sent Sheng Zong to arrest Yu Qing, Wang Shufei's reaction was surprise, "Fanghua is really a clever plan. ”
Xie Fanghua smiled slightly, but did not speak.
"Xie Fanghua!" Someone at the gate of the courtyard suddenly shouted Xie Fanghua's name, and when she listened carefully, it seemed to be Princess Pingle, the righteous daughter of Concubine Yu.
Xie Fanghua heard this voice, slowly got up, walked out of the pavilion, and saw Princess Pingle walking towards her angrily with a dozen or so maidservants.
Qingzhi hurriedly walked behind Xie Fanghua.
Qiu Rong wanted to follow, but was stopped by Concubine Wang Shu.
Princess Pingle was dressed in pink, and her originally playful and lovely face became hideous because of anger.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, what are you doing when you come to Jinhua Palace?" Xie Fanghua looked at Princess Pingle and said lightly.
Princess Pingle snorted angrily, pointed at Xie Fanghua and said, "This princess is in a bad mood today, Xie Fanghua, hand over your maid to this princess to vent her anger, this princess will spare you today!" ”
When Qingzhi heard that Princess Pingle was pulling herself again, her heart was angry again, just to prevent Xie Fanghua from being hit again, she held back her anger.
Xie Fanghua walked down the steps of the pavilion and approached Princess Pingle step by step.
It's close.
Princess Pingle saw Xie Fanghua pressing herself step by step, and felt inexplicably frightened in her heart, so she subconsciously retreated.
Xie Fanghua took a step further, and Princess Pingle took a step back.
Suddenly, Xie Fanghua smiled.
Seeing her smiling so brightly, Princess Pingle's anger was aroused again, "Xie Fanghua, what are you laughing at!?" ”
"Laughing princess, you," Xie Fanghua said softly, "Isn't the princess trying to get angry?" There is no sense of accomplishment in bullying a maid, so it's better for the princess to bully me. Anyway, the princess is the righteous daughter of the concubine, and with the support of the concubine, are you afraid that I won't succeed? ”
Princess Pingle listened, feeling irritated in her heart, she stomped her feet and yelled at Xie Fanghua: "Xie Fanghua! You've been under house arrest for so long, why are you still bullying Princess Ben? ”
Seeing that she was so excited and spoke so inexplicably, Xie Fanghua couldn't help but feel funny, "Your Royal Highness Princess, isn't this your coming to my Jinhua Palace to find trouble?" Why did I bully you? ”
Princess Pingle blushed angrily, stomped her feet again, and hurried away with people, leaving only one sentence, "Xie Fanghua, you wait for this princess!" ”
Princess Pingle came and went in such a hurry, which made Xie Fanghua a little confused.
Concubine Wang Shufei walked out of the pavilion and walked to Xie Fanghua's side, "Princess Pingle has relied on the love of the concubine Niangniang for a long time, and she is lawless. Some time ago, he even caused Fanghua to be placed under house arrest in Jinhua Palace, which is really ...... Alas. ”
Speaking of this, Qingzhi's head bowed.
Xie Fanghua turned around and glanced at Qingzhi, who was hanging his head, and then looked at Wang Shufei, "I don't like to move around in the first place, and it doesn't matter to me whether I am under house arrest or not." ”
"Fanghua, aren't you going to go out?" When Wang Shufei said going out, she actually meant finding a way to get the emperor to stop putting her under house arrest.
Xie Fanghua naturally understood what Concubine Wang Shu meant, she smiled and shook her head, "I don't have such a plan at the moment." ”
"Is that ......?"
"Queen Xia and Concubine Yu Liang Zi are already deep, and the harem will let them fight, and my sister and I can just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight."
.
Lianchuan.
Chen Zhiyi and Murong Jin had been setting off for a long time, and seeing that it was getting dark, the two decided to rest first and hurry tomorrow, and it was estimated that they would be able to return to the capital at this time tomorrow.
"Alas, two guest officers, staying in the hotel or sharp!?" Xiao Er put the handkerchief on his shoulder and greeted him with a smile.
"Two upper rooms." Murong Jin said.
"Bring the food to the hall and serve all your signature dishes!" Chen Zhiyi added.
"Okay! The two guest officers are sitting, wait a minute! ”
Because there are a lot of guests, it is also a bit troublesome to find a location. After standing for a while, someone got up and left, and Chen Zhiyi and Murong Jin went to sit.
Someone was talking loudly about something, and when I listened carefully, I seemed to hear the word Xiyue.
Chen Zhiyi listened more carefully, those people were talking about the fact that the envoys of Xiyue were going to come to Nanyu.
Squinting his eyes, Chen Zhiyu said: "Brother Jin, I heard my sister say before that Xiyue has always saluted first and then soldiers, and this time I sent envoys to Nanyu, I am afraid that there will be another war." ”
When Murong Jin heard this, he thought for a moment before he said, "Maybe." ”
Chen Zhiyu sighed and frowned slightly, "There is no one in Nanyu, and there are not many generals who can fight well, otherwise Brother Jin would not have gone to Beidi, and my sister may not enter the palace......"
Murong Jin was stunned, came back to her senses, and stretched out her hand to make it look like she was going to hit her, but she still withdrew her hand, sighed and said, "You girl, what are you talking about......
Chen Zhiyi was silent, she knew that Xie Fanghua's entry into the palace Murong Jin was a big blow, and even because he learned about this incident, he was distracted and injured on the battlefield. But the more uncomfortable Murong Jin felt in his heart, the more Chen Zhiyi wanted to hit him and stimulate him.
Xiao Er brought the food, although it was all homely, but it smelled very good.
Chen Zhiyi ignored Murong Jin and ate by himself, while Murong Jin was silently there.
Early the next morning, Chen Zhiyi and Murong Jin hurried back to the capital before the sun went down.
Back at Chen's Mansion, Chen Zhiyi and Murong Jin went to find Chen Bozhong, and after explaining the matter of Lianchuan, Murong Jin's first question was how Xie Fanghua was doing.
"Fanghua is fine, that girl doesn't like to go out, and being under house arrest is not a problem for her. Jin'er rest assured. Chen Bozhong sat on the upper seat and said.
Murong Jin's heart that had been hanging for so many days finally let go.
Chen Bozhong comforted Murong Jin again, then immediately changed his face and snorted coldly, "Chen Er, I asked you to go to Zhoujia Temple with your mother, but it turned out that you were good, ran to Lianchuan, and didn't make trouble for your Uncle Zhang, right?" ”
Chen Zhiyi also snorted, "My mother let me play by myself, and I didn't stipulate where to go for how long." ”
Chen Bozhong scolded angrily: "You dead girl." If it weren't for your Uncle Zhang sending me a message saying that you also went to Lianchuan, I still don't know where you are! ”
"Aren't I back now? You don't know where I am? Chen Zhiyi clasped his hands on his chest and rolled his eyes.
"Dead girl, look at you, you are not as worry-free as your sister, nor as sensible as Ran Ran, nor as calm as your brother Jin!" Chen Bozhong saw her rolling her eyes at herself, and he was a little angry in his heart.
Chen Zhiyi snorted, "Oh, who cared about me when I was a child, except for my mother?" Dad, when you were a child, you taught everything to your sister, and you didn't hesitate to spend a lot of money to ask for a famous teacher for Brother Jin to learn martial arts, and the prime minister's grandfather read and chatted with Xie Erran when he had nothing to do. Now you're saying in front of me that I'm not as good as this and that, isn't it interesting? ”
No one wants parents to compare themselves to other children, and neither does Chen Zhiyi.
Chen Bozhong reasoned and waved his hand, "It's okay, you are so good at your mouth, because your father doesn't argue with you, you can fall in love wherever you go!" ”
Chen Zhiyi ignored him and turned around and left.
Chen Bozhong let out a long sigh and shook his head helplessly. For this daughter, he just can't be ruthless, even if he is angry and wants to reprimand her seriously, he still can't.
Murong Jin, who had been silent all along, took two steps forward and comforted softly: "Zhiyu has been used to messing around since he was a child, don't be angry, master." In the future, I will be in the capital, and I will take care of her. ”
"Okay, she's a girl, I'll serve you and Fanghua."
Murong Jin replied, hesitating.
"Jin'er, is there something wrong?" Seeing Murong Jin's appearance of wanting to speak but not speaking, Chen Bozhong couldn't help asking.
Murong Jin hesitated for a while before he said, "Has the master heard about the fact that the envoys of Xiyue are coming to Nanyu?" ”
Chen Bozhong nodded, as if he was not surprised at all, "What's wrong?" ”
Chen Bozhong was not surprised, but Murong Jin was surprised by his calmness.
Coming back to his senses, Murong Jin said: "Xiyue has always saluted first and then soldiers, and this time I sent an envoy to Nanyu, I'm afraid it was not a good intention." What's more, the West Vietnam has been stationed in the army for many years, and there are many talented people and the economy is prosperous...... To put it simply, I am worried that it will be difficult for Nanyu to resist. ”
Nanyu is also a wealthy country, but compared with Xiyue, there are fewer generals who can fight well.
Those generals who helped the emperor fight the world couldn't fight for more than half a year, so Murong Jin's worries were also right.
Chen Bozhong nodded thoughtfully, "That's right, that's right." But has Jin'er forgotten someone? ”
Murong Jin frowned, thinking about the person Chen Bozhong was talking about.
"Empress Xia's brother, Xia Lingsheng?" Murong Jin suddenly raised his head and looked at Chen Bozhong.
"Yes." Chen Bozhong nodded and smiled.
Empress Xia was not from a high background, but she had an elder brother Xia Lingsheng who fought with the emperor at the age of twelve.
Xia Lingsheng is good at martial arts, and he is also familiar with various books on the art of war, so he has won the trust of the emperor, and many key wars can only be won by this young man, so he is called 'General Protector' at a young age.
It's a pity that the first emperor died, and the emperor was afraid that the merit would cover the master, so he transferred Xia Lingsheng to the original tune, and now, Xia Lingsheng, who is in his thirties, has no ability but nowhere to go.
But heaven opened a window for him.
Because, the envoys of Western Vietnam came.
The military power that salutes first and then soldiers, West Vietnam.
