163 Street farce
There is only one month left before the New Year, Ye Qingshu is busy cleaning out the courtyard of the second room that has not been occupied for a long time, busy looking at the accounts handed in by various shops and granges, busy rewarding various stewards, busy preparing gifts to be sent to various prefectures for the New Year, and busy buying things for the New Year.
Most of the people she has cultivated in the past few years are still on their way to Beijing, although Ye Qingcheng helps, they are also busy enough.
On the morning of the twenty-second day of the lunar month, Ye Shouyi and his entourage finally returned to the capital, so it was a busy mess.
Ye Shouyi didn't return to Beijing for three years, and as soon as he returned home, he was busy and nowhere to be seen, and Zhi and Ye Qingling were tired enough all the way, and they lay down for two or three days before recovering.
The Zhi family remembered the old father and mother, and on the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, he took Ye Qingcheng's brothers and sisters to the Zhiguo Mansion to greet the old Guogong and the old lady of Zhi.
After the capital enters the wax moon, it is rainy continuously, but these days are rare sunny days, people come and go everywhere on the street, not to mention the water is impassable, but the carriage is very difficult to move forward.
Originally, it was only half an hour away, but it didn't go out half of it for an hour, and it was directly blocked on Zhengyang Street.
Ye Qingcheng sent Yijiu to take a look, and said to the branch across the carriage wall, "Mother, the two carriages in front of me collided, and they will not be able to get out of the way for a while and a half, this is the wine fairy drunk, it is better for the mother to take a few sisters to the wine fairy drunk and sit down, and wait for the road to be clear before leaving."
In the past three years, the Zhi clan has long been accustomed to obeying Ye Qingcheng and Ye Qingshu's arrangements, so he snorted.
Ye Qingcheng was about to direct the horseman to pull the carriage to the side of the road, when a rapid sound of horses' hooves quickly approached this side.
Ye Qingcheng squinted, and under the sun, the red flying fish suit on the person who came was like a beating flame, bright and dazzling.
Sure enough, the only one who can gallop unscrupulously on Zhengyang Street where people come and go.
There was no need to drive away, and all the people who had been gathered in a circle to watch the excitement scattered and retreated, making way for a wide avenue.
It wasn't until they approached the place where the two carriages collided that the red-clothed brocade guards in fresh clothes and angry horses slowed down, and the few people who opened the road in front of them retreated in two columns, revealing Xuan Ming wearing a dark unicorn costume on a horse standing high in the center.
In the past three years, Xuan Ming has changed from the original 100 households of Jinyi Wei to today's 1,000 households.
When Xuan Ming appeared, the onlookers took a few steps back in silence, and for a moment, there was not a single murmur on Zhengyang Street, which was originally as noisy as cooking porridge.
Facing one of his carriages, a slender and white jade hand stretched out and lifted the curtain, revealing a delicate and handsome jade face.
"Great nephew, you came just in time! Feed this bastard who dares to hit me to Cheba Cheba to the dogs! β
As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain of another carriage was also lifted, and a deep and hoarse voice sounded, "I haven't seen you for half a year, Hua Shizi is bold!" β
Hua Shao jumped out of the carriage neatly, opened the ivory bone fan in his hand with a swipe on the ground, and snorted, "I'll just say that whoever ate the bear's heart and leopard gall dared to hit this son, it turned out to be His Royal Highness King Ning!" β
Hua Shao's voice was not small, and the surroundings were quiet, and the words "His Royal Highness King Ning" clearly floated into the carriage where Ye Qingshu was sitting, and Ye Qingling, who was sitting opposite Ye Qingshu, had a flash of panic in his eyes, and he barely calmed down.
She really didn't expect that she had just returned to the capital, and when she went out for the first time, she met King Ning on the road.
Ye Qingshu took her look into his eyes, his eyes darkened, and he listened intently.
Xuan Mingli fell off Ma Chaoning and arched his hand, "I've seen the prince."
With his movements, the rest of the brocade guards dismounted and saluted in unison, and the onlookers also knelt down or saluted one after another.
"No, in recent years, there are many people on the street, and a collision is inevitable, why did the prince insist that it was the prince who hit the king?"
Hua Shao hung his son and fanned his bones, "Just because this son dares to stand up openly, and His Royal Highness King Ning, you only dare to shrink in the car like a girl!" β
King Ning's breath sank suddenly, "Presumptuous! β
"What? was pierced by this son, annoyed and angry? β
Hua Shao snapped and closed the folding fan again, and smiled contemptuously at King Chaoning, "Little Si'er, it's not a day or two since this son sees that you are not happy, if you are a man, get out of the car today and have a fight with this son, otherwise this matter will not be over today!" β
"You think everyone is a scoundrel like you?"
"I'm a scoundrel, at least a gentleman! Like you, you're playing like a all day long! β
King Ning's voice was cold, "Hengyang, you bring a large group of people here, whether you care about it or not, no matter what, this king will do it himself!" β
Hua Shao waved the folding fan, the guards behind him knelt on the ground, Hua Shao stepped on his back, shaking upside down, full of rogue image.
Only he was born outstanding, and such an unbearable behavior is also very pleasing to the eye.
"You do it! If you have the ability, you can do it! If you're a man, show it to this son today! If you don't do it, you're a bad seed! β
"Comeβ"
Xuan Ming interjected coldly, "Have you made enough trouble?" If you don't make enough trouble to go home, don't get in the way of others here! β
Hua Shao was suddenly aggrieved, "Big nephew, others don't know, don't you know, in the past few years, this kid doesn't know how many black things he has accused the emperor behind his back, so that it is difficult for me to go out of Beijing, where did I offend him?" β
Xuan Ming didn't even look at him, and looked at King Ning, "Please also ask the prince to get out of the car, and the next official will arrange for people to move the two cars away."
King Ning snorted and got out of the car by the guard's arm.
Hua Shao also snorted and disdained, "You have to be helped by someone in the next car, and you are more girls than girls!" β
King Ning's face was gloomy, "Hua Shao, you really can't do anything about you as this king?" β
"You have the ability! Light can play with a mouth gun, will sue the black, what kind of man is it? β
Hua Shao is completely shameless, King Ning not only wants face, but also the dignity and demeanor of a prince, where did he say it, he glanced at him heavily, turned around and went to the wine fairy drunk.
One day, he will let him die without a place to bury!
Hua Shao smiled proudly, turned around and carried the fan upside down, and arched his hand to Ye Qingcheng and Ye Qingyu, who were standing aside watching the excitement, "Ah, isn't this Ye Second Master and Ye Fifth Master?" It's a blessing! The fault of this son of the world shocked the ladies of your mansion! It will take a while for this carriage to be opened, so that this son will be the east and go to the wine fairy to get drunk and sit together? β
As soon as he said this, Xuan Ming's gaze slashed like a sword, and King Ning's footsteps also stopped.
He only paused for a moment, then turned around, "Is it Mrs. Ye in the car?" It's the king of Meng Lang."
In the carriage, Zhi's fingernails were pinched into the flesh, barely controlling himself from losing his temper, "The prince and the prince are polite, there are many inconveniences, I won't get out of the car, please forgive the prince and the prince."
As soon as they heard that it was Ye Shouyi's family, the crowd became excited, although they were all big people who couldn't be messed with, they all stretched their necks and stared wide-eyed, and they couldn't wait for a gust of wind to blow the car curtain open for a little bit!
The ladies of the Ye Mansion, maybe Miss Ye is also there! One glance, just one glance, it's enough!
Xuan Ming immediately noticed the commotion of the crowd, swept over with a cold glance, and the crowd subconsciously took a few steps back, and they all retreated to the shops on both sides of Zhengyang Street.
"Move fast!"
Originally, the two carriages were not "collided" at all, but the wheels on both sides were stuck together, and several powerful Jinyi guards quickly separated the two carriages.
Hua Shao diligently instructed the coachman to drive the carriage aside, make way of the way, and smile flatteringly at Zhi's carriage, regardless of whether people could not see his smiling face at all.
"Mrs. Ye, please first, please first, it's all because Xiao Si'er is ignorant and stands in your way, I'm here to apologize to Xiao Si'er for you, don't be like him."
King Ning gritted his teeth with hatred, but under this public, it was inconvenient to entangle with him, to the extent that Hua Shao was shameless, he must be the one who lost face in the end.
"The prince is polite, Brother Cheng, let's go."
Ye Qingcheng hugged his fist towards Hua Shao and the others, and Ye Qingyu behind him also hugged his fist.
"The prince, the prince of the county, the prince, Ye retired."
King Ning hummed lightly, but Hua Shao and Xuan Ming both returned the salute, Ye Qingcheng and Ye Qingyu got on the horse, and after a while, they crossed Hua Shao and a few people, and went along Zhengyang Street in the direction of the Zhiguo Mansion.
Hua Shao's nostrils snorted to the sky, "Little Si'er, don't look at it, you are all married to the concubine, be honest with your eyes, otherwise there will be a fire in the backyard, and your old man will not be able to spare you!" β
King Ning knew that he would definitely be entangled by Hua Shao again when he opened his mouth, so the more he depicted, the darker it became, he ignored it and got into the car directly.
Hua Shao snorted again, "Fart-strands are flat and big, ugly to death!" I'm embarrassed to pout my fart-stock to someone! β
The eyes of the onlookers unconsciously followed his words to look at His Royal Highness King Ning's buttocks, and even Xuan Ming subconsciously looked over.
Hmm, it's so flat and big!
King Ning paused, although his gaze was invisible, he felt that the farts were suddenly heavy, and the chrysanthemum suddenly tightened, and he turned his head suddenly, and the killing intent in his eyes stabbed at Hua Shao like substance.
Hua Shao jumped to Xuan Ming's side and hugged his arm, "Ahhh Great nephew, did you see that? He's going to kill me! If I die one day, he must be behind his back! When the time comes, you must denounce him to the emperor and avenge me!" β
King Ning glanced at him heavily, and entered the carriage without saying a word, and the coachman raised his whip, and the carriage went away.
Hua Shao snorted a few times in the direction of the carriage's departure, "Isn't it just a prince!" Bigger than the emperor's shelf! I really think I'm the prince! β
"Cousin!"
Hua Shao immediately put on a flattering smile, "Don't say it, don't say it, I'll leave too, okay?" β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
This farce on Zhengyang Street soon spread in the capital, and at the same time, there was King Ning's "flat and big fart-stock".
The Yuwen concubine in the palace cried aggrievedly to Emperor Dezhao.
Three years ago, Hua Shao followed Ye Qingshu all the way to Shuzhong, and wandered until the end of autumn before returning to the capital.
King Ning smelled something unusual and caught the clues, but he couldn't catch his handle, so he could only ask Concubine Yuwen to blow the pillow wind in the emperor's ear, and on the grounds of the door wind of the Huaguo Mansion and Hua Shao's health, Hua Shao was not allowed to leave the capital again.
Since then, as long as the two of them meet, it will definitely be a pinch, this time the toss is the biggest, and it will be on Zhengyang Street, I am afraid that in less than half an hour, His Royal Highness King Ning's buttocks will become the laughing stock of the entire Da Xiao.
Emperor Dezhao knew the "grievances" between the two, and he also knew that Hua Shao was always picking thorns and finding faults, and he was a joke at first.
After many times, I inevitably became a little impatient, and later, when I saw that the noble officials in the entire capital were watching the jokes of King Ning and Hua Shao, and now the people in the capital have seen it thoroughly, they became a little annoyed and angry.
Hua Shao is certainly a scoundrel, but it's been three years, but King Ning can't even suppress a scoundrel, and now he is making jokes on the street, which shows his incompetence!
A scoundrel can't cure him, and he still expects him to be able to cure the world?
Thinking of the crown prince who was imprisoned, the king of Qin who was sent to the frontier, the king of An who had his legs disabled, and the two little princes in the palace who were not yet three years old.
Emperor Dezhao became more and more irritable, he had passed the age of the sixtieth year, and none of his sons could inherit his throne, so how could he rest assured?
In the past two years, he has felt more and more that his body is declining and he is powerless, otherwise he would not have transferred Ye Shouyi back to the capital so quickly.
Shuzhong is distant and rich, and it has always been the most headache for the imperial court, and for so many years, no prefect in Shuzhong has done better than Ye Shouyi.
He originally planned to let Ye Shouyi stay there for at least six years, or even nine years, to lay a solid foundation for the long-term stability of Shuzhong, and to sharpen and sharpen Ye Shouyi's literati arrogance, and it was just left for the new monarch to recall him back and use him for grace.
But his age is not forgiving, he feels more and more that the affairs of the court are inadequate, and none of the princes agrees, so he has to recruit Ye Shouyi to return to Beijing.
Ye Shouyi is capable, loyal, arrogant, and has the grace to infect anyone and win anyone's favor, he can't find a more suitable person than Ye Shouyi to teach and advise the future prince for him.
Thinking of Ye Shouyi, Emperor Dezhao couldn't help but think of Ye Qingling, when King Ning made such a scandal, he didn't think about simply giving Ye Qingling to King Ning.
One is to cover up, and the other is to fulfill the young son's thoughts.
I don't want Concubine Yuwen to die and disagree, so I want Hu Gelao's eldest granddaughter.
What Yuwen Guifei thinks, he knows it clearly, the prince is not a weapon, and he loves King Ning, so he will follow her with one eye closed.
Ye Qingling is too beautiful and always not very reassuring.
He didn't expect Ye Qingling to go to Shuzhong to do that, such ability, mind, and bearing, even being a queen is more than enough, King Ning married, he must be a virtuous helper, how could he still be like this today, and he can't even cure Hua Shao?
The problem returned to the original point, Emperor Dezhao became more and more irritable, and seeing that Concubine Yuwen was still crying to herself, she shouted loudly, "What are you crying about, trivial things are worth your crying until now!" No wonder he taught Xiao Si to look like this, and made a trivial thing a laughing stock of the world! β
Concubine Yuwen cried and knelt down in panic, "The emperor is angry, the emperor is angry!" β
Emperor Dezhao threw off his sleeves and walked out of the hall, and he walked to the palace gate unconsciously in a depressed state.
He didn't expect that he had walked so far, looking at the majestic palace gate for a long time, he stepped over, for no reason, he wanted to see Xiao An, the third son who had been crippled for many years and had been neglected by himself for many years.
