King Zeen openly invited, and I naturally said yes. His study was in the side yard, through the two corridors, and there was it.

The courtyard of the palace is already elegant, and his study is even more luxurious, and the right side of the shelf is full of some rare treasures, heterogeneous colored glass, fist-sized eastern pearls, and some strange-looking jade stone carvings, even I have never seen them.

King Zeen laughed and said, "Ning An, let's see if there is anything that catches your eye, what you like, just take one." ”

"The prince is too polite, Ning An is terrified."

"Alas...... What is there to be afraid of, you are the lord of the county of your father, and you are a celebrity in front of your father, and this king is afraid that the gift he will give you is too light, and you can't look at it. Well, I'll see...... Alas, just this pair of Dongzhu, this king likes you very much. As he spoke, he pointed to the pair of Dongzhu.

I said, "The prince is really too polite, the so-called merit is not rewarded, Ning An does not dare to ask for it." ”

"Hey, what's the merit of this

It's all outside the body, it's all my own family, just like it. This Dongzhu is in good condition, don't you say that women are like pearls, I'm a man, and it's a little feminine in the study, so I'll give it to you. ”

Seeing that I didn't mean to ask for it, he laughed, "Ning An, you're too polite." Anyway, this year, you and Lu, this king didn't give you any decent gifts, and you went to the frontier to fight a grand battle for my Xiqi. Which of these two things is taken out, this king has to give a big gift.

This pair of Dongzhu should be regarded as a congratulatory gift from the king. Well, that's it. After a while, I will ask the housekeeper to break the Dongzhu into a box and send it to the house for you. ”

The words have already been said about this, if you don't want it, it will be too face-saving, so I had to smile and say, "Since this is the case, Ning An is better to be respectful than to obey his fate, thank you to the prince." ”

"Hey, you're always so polite, alas, that piece of snow jade is not bad, but I haven't seen it on the market. It is said to be contained in the deep mountains and snowy areas of the extremely cold place, and it is very cool in the house in summer. If the king doesn't need it, I'll bring it to you.

This is the original jade, it has not been carved yet, another day I will find a good craftsman master to go over, you draw a pattern, like the like, what kind of carving. I don't know what girls like, so it's up to you to make up your own mind. He laughed.

I took a look, and the piece of jade was milky white, and there was a faint light in the jade, but it looked fresh, but it didn't seem to be that valuable.

The most valuable Dongzhu is gone, and this piece of jade is naturally not easy to shirk, so I nodded and thanked him.

He laughed and led me to pick and choose left and right, but he had to pick out two strange-looking jade ornaments for me.

"Alas, Ning An, come and take a look, this is the cold arowana that my father gave me a few days ago." The things were also delivered, and he swept his eyes and pulled me to a corner of the study.

There is a large blue and white porcelain pot here, there are a lot of aquatic plants in it, a palm-sized dazzling arowana is swaying leisurely, Zeen Wang said, "This little thing, the vitality is quite tenacious, the day my father gave it was a little white, and it was alive again after a few days, which is quite interesting." ”

I praised, "The prince is blessed at regular times, and this arowana is stained with the blessing of the prince." ”

He was happy again, "Ning An, this is too good at talking, and the king is happy in his heart." ”

I smiled, and he looked at the dragon fish for a while, his heart suddenly rose, and this treasure took out some of the treasured Danqing calligraphy and paintings, one by one, it seemed that he wanted to send me a pair of everyone's landscapes and ink, I quickly refused tactfully.

Almost as soon as the calligraphy and painting were finished, the housekeeper came to report again, who said that the play was over, the luncheon had been prepared, and the princess invited the princess to the hall for a banquet. Helian Yunqi led me to the banquet hall again.

There are a lot of guests today, and when it comes to it, my status is the highest among the guests, so Helian Yunnuma arranged for me to sit down, and after the others sat down one after another, the banquet began.

The palace set up a banquet, inevitably a lively, there are singers in the banquet to help the fun, and the piano division sits and plays the bent willow pipa, during this period there are guest girls improvised to stroke the piano, it is always very lively.

An hour later, when everyone was full of food and drink, they also left.

I originally thought that this Helian Yunqi asked me to come to the mansion to watch the play and give gifts, and there must have been a plan, but from the time I entered the palace to the time he personally sent me out of the mansion, Helian Yunqi has always been smiling haha. In addition to discussing poetry and opera, he studied the dishes, and then he didn't say a word out of line with me.

But the more this happens, the more suspicious it becomes.

How could this smiling tiger show favor for no reason, there must be some conspiracy in this.

I sat in the carriage and thought about it, but I couldn't understand his intentions, and it wasn't until two days later that I realized that I had been overshadowed this time.

Su Tianmu's identity is not only the lord of Xiqi, but also the grandson of Su Huo, who holds a heavy army.

Since I went to the palace of King Zeen to watch the play, rumors began to circulate in Jingzhong that Lord Su and King Zeen watched the play together, drank and talked happily, and talked very well with each other, and they both regarded each other as good friends.

A rumor, this is nothing, but the bad is bad, there is another rumor about me in Shengjing.

I don't know when the people began to rumor, saying that Su Honai was a minister of the court, and when he fought on the battlefield with His Majesty, His Majesty secretly gave him a troop because of his loyalty and bravery. This army is very secretive, no one knows where it is hidden, no one knows its size, only Suho can know its existence and mobilization.

They also spread that this army was a hidden guard of His Majesty the Emperor.

He also said that when he wanted to choose a concubine for the prince in Su Mansion, he actually wanted to hand over the hidden guard to the prince. But then I didn't choose, I just didn't want to give him the hidden guard.

What's more, it is rumored that I went to the frontier this time, and my ability and courage have greatly won the favor of Your Majesty, and Your Majesty has sent a secret report from the Eagle to Su Huo to give me the talisman that can mobilize the hidden guard.

Those who are close to the Su family will get the heart of the king, and those who will be the lord of the county will get the military talisman.

At the critical time of seizing the crown prince, I suddenly had such a good relationship with King Zeen, and after thinking about it, it caused people to reverie.

In just a few days, there was an endless stream of visitors to my county lord's mansion, and those who gave gifts in the autumn breeze and didn't know the eight poles came to visit.

I wanted to be out of the way, secretly stirring up troubled waters, but in this way, I was pushed to the cusp of the storm and pulled into this muddy water for no reason.

This annoyed me a bit, and I wanted to borrow the Ministry of Works' plan to flood the east wall, so I had a mistake.

I asked Qiu Jin to find an opportunity to conceal the evidence and clues of the Ministry of Industry, and find a way to reveal it to an iron-faced Qing official in the court, so that he could use the excerpt to participate in the book.

Who knows, the big Sikong of the Ministry of Industry is an old fox, and he got the news nowhere, so he found a scapegoat as quickly as possible. Overnight, he cried to His Majesty, saying that he was too careless, and there were such moths around him, and asked His Majesty to mobilize the Imperial Supervisor to investigate the matter thoroughly, and he must give the court a clean Ministry of Works.

In this way, the guilt of not reporting and cutting corners has not only been washed away, but also has a good reputation of being upright and upright.

And on the side of King Zeen, because he had an intersection with me, the voice suddenly rose, and the courtiers who were originally watching, afraid that they were on the wrong team, were like weeds on the wall, and fell to Helian Yunqi in a large area.

On Zhou Wuzheng's side, although I had already greeted Helian Yunnuma, they had dealt with it in advance, and they could be regarded as evading a catastrophe, but the road ahead was also apprehensive......

The original situation of the two kings has changed all of a sudden, if it weren't for Helian Yunnuma's military exploits and virtuous reputation, I am afraid that King Zeen would be able to stand out.

This makes me very depressed, Helian Yunqi and Baili Tianqi are in the same team, Helian Yunqi is powerful, and he will naturally benefit in the future.

Another day passed, and the people sent out to Xie Fanghua also had news.

This person is a righteous daughter who was adopted by Da Sikong three years ago, and has been raised in Langzhou Courtyard.

It is said that this Hua girl has a sweet mouth, sensible and coquettish, and the big Sikong is very happy, and she is very fond of her, and she intends to give it to King Zeen as a side concubine.

No wonder she changed the law at the birthday banquet that day to coax the concubine to be happy, it turned out that she was going to enter the palace.

This makes me even more strange, since I am a righteous daughter of Sikong, and I didn't grow up in Shengjing since I was a child, naturally the two of us will not have a vendetta, why do you look at me with a resentful face?

Although her face was extremely unfamiliar, I just felt that this person was very familiar.

I can't be wrong about what she has to say.

"Check it again. Find me where she came from, her friends or the midwife, and I want her details. ”

"Yes, master." Qiu Jin answered, jumped out of the window, and jumped onto the head of the room.

Her skillful movements, but it reminds me of Xuanyuan Chen, used to the days with him, he left suddenly, made me very uncomfortable, last night the wind suddenly rose, blowing the window with a bang, I woke up from a dream, I thought he was back.

Smiling secretly, I took a sip of the hot ginger soup.

Winter in Xiqi is always snowy, rarely sunny, but cloudy.

After a few days of light snow, the letter I sent to the middle of the continent to inquire also sent back the news.

A large-scale explosion suddenly appeared at the junction of Xinjiang and China, and they actually landed as the king, raising the flag and proclaiming himself the emperor of Zhengming.

This group of explosives did not move after the storm and left the frontier, but crossed the mountains and crossed the border, and attacked a border city in the middle of the continent at night.

When the gang entered the city, they not only plundered, but also burned and looted.

Zhonglu never got involved in turmoil, but the guards did not let up, and drove them out of the city in a scuffle. But the bombers are coming next.

The sound hits the west, the muddy waters are fishing, and the darkness is Chencang......

There are some schemes, the other party has used them all over again, and the Emperor of Zhonglu feels that the situation is not right, so he urgently calls Xuanyuan Chen to go back and study countermeasures.

When I heard the news, I immediately thought about Baili Tianqi three months ago, in the name of streamlining the army, and dismissed a group of guards.

I thought it was strange at the time, why did he dismiss so many people at the time of employment? I also deliberately sent people to follow them, but I found that those people were really scattered in all directions, so I didn't pay attention to them.

Now think about it, what if those guards were not dismissed, but were ordered to disperse and hide, and gather on the border of the Middle Continent......

I winked my eyes.

The possibility is too great. Even if there are capable people in the ownerless mob, how can they skillfully use the art of war to attack the city!

From this point of view, Baili Tianqi is starting to shoot at Zhonglu!

He couldn't figure out the situation in the middle of the continent, and he didn't dare to provoke blatantly, so he sent some people to test it first, while he stayed in Xiqi Taoguang to raise his ......

Sitting on one mountain and watching three mountains, he is really a good plan!

Calculating the time, when he dismissed the guards, it happened to be when Xuanyuan Chen brought the troops over to invite the concubine.

What a solution!

"Miss, there's a letter from the frontier."

Green Bead knocked on the door outside, I retracted my thoughts, and with a shallow response, Green Bead pushed the door in and handed over a thick letter.

"My grandson poured out his own thoughts."

This is the word for Suho.

I brought the heavy envelope close to the candle, slowly baked the seal, and pulled out the core, revealing several small envelopes.

Unfold it, these are Su Huo, Ji Yunchang, and General Lan's private messages to me.

I still opened Suho's letter first.

In the letter, he asked that he was very anxious when he heard that I had fainted, but then he heard the news that I had returned to Beijing, and asked me to rest well.

There are not many words, but they are heavy.

My heart warmed slightly, and I opened another letter.
