"It's really annoying to Hongu! Those who want food, those who want money, and those who want to be exempt from taxation, when this treasury is flushed with silver from heaven, it is not allowed? Flooding in the east and drought in the north, natural disasters and personnel, you have to ask the palace everything, which province is this official, it's just a group of rice buckets! ”

Li Chengqian scribbled a few strokes on the fold, and his mood was extremely irritable, and he suddenly threw the half-read notebook in his hand on the imperial case, and impartially smashed down the thick stack of official documents on the case, which were scattered on the ground in an uproar, and the chamberlain hurriedly knelt down to pick it up, but none of them dared to speak out to convince him.

"Zhong Zhaonan! Chuan Zhong Zhao entered the palace in the south, let him come to see the palace, and it would take so many days to arrest someone, it was really in vain that he was promoted to be the commander of the Northern Ya! ”

Li Chengqian was already impatient to handle official affairs, but the emperor was sick and lying in the Daming Palace, not only gave him the right to supervise the country, but also read endless official documents and endless transcripts every day.

In order not to let the counselor find fault, take this rare opportunity to consolidate the real power in his hands, since he grasped the power of the prison country, he forced himself to be stuffed in the imperial study every day in addition to the court, at first it was okay, but he was restless by nature, how could he endure such a monotonous and boring day.

He misses the life of Shengge every night, but before that, he must first pinch Li Tai's pulse.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, Zhong Duwei is outside asking to see you."

"Let him in!"

Zhong Zhaonan, the newly promoted commander of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army, bowed down, entered the hall, glanced at the prince's face carelessly, and bowed respectfully:

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Zhong Zhaonan, this palace thought that you were a proper person, so I promoted you exceptionally, but you couldn't even do a small thing assigned by this palace, which really disappointed this palace."

Zhong Zhaonan knelt down in fear and pleaded:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is angry, it is the ministers who are not doing well, and I ask His Royal Highness to be tolerant for a few days, the ministers have tracked down the whereabouts of the relatives of the King of Wei, and they will be able to bring them back to the capital in a few days, and they will definitely live up to your trust."

Li Chengqian snorted coldly, his face improved slightly, and he was about to let him go down, but a waiter came in from outside the palace, but it was Hu De, the head of the East Palace, who hurriedly trotted into the hall, and did not report it, but directly came to the dragon case, and whispered in Li Chengqian's ear for a while.

Zhong Zhaonan saw his secret words, so he lowered his head, vaguely heard the words "Princess Pingyang", and was wondering what was going on, when he suddenly felt a wind coming in front of him, he couldn't dodge, and was smashed on the door by a notebook.

"Rubbish! What's the use of you, get out! ”

When the third princess returns to Beijing every year, there must always be a group of people who hear the news in advance and are ready to come to the door, but this time, Pingyang came back a little suddenly, and the slightest rumor was not revealed in advance, and only after arriving at the princess's mansion did they send someone to the palace to deliver a letter.

Zhaohua Mansion

Pingyang changed into a palace dress, came to the side courtyard where the master and servant of the relict jade were placed, and instructed the relict jade:

"This palace has sent a letter to the palace, and the prince explains that you are here in the palace, as for the list of chasing you, the palace will first go to Daming Palace to visit the emperor, and tomorrow I will enter the palace to see the prince and ask him to revoke the arrest. Don't worry about your mother, you can live in the princess's mansion with peace of mind, if you want to go out, it will take a few days, otherwise the list has not been revealed, and it is difficult to ensure that you will not be stopped by anyone who does not open your eyes when you walk on the street. ”

Yi Yu bowed, with seven points of gratitude, and three points of apology said: "Thank you princess for your help, I have you to go." ”

Four days ago, she narrowly escaped the pursuers several times, rushed to the outside of Luoyang City, and sent Sun Lei into the city to deliver a letter to Princess Pingyang, and met Pingyang very smoothly.

"The emperor's dragon body is not safe, even if he doesn't accompany you, the palace will also visit Chang'an sooner or later, so there is no need to say too much thanks."

Before meeting Pingyang, she was still a little apprehensive, worried that Pingyang would not sell favors to her at this juncture, but Pingyang not only personally led her back to Chang'an, but also insisted on letting the prince withdraw the pursuit of them, although Pingyang said that this was to repay her for saving her life that day, but Yuyu still accepted her more love.

Pingyang downplayed her help to Yu Yu, turned her head and saw Qin Lin standing aside with the child in her arms, so she walked over and stretched out her hand, and Qin Lin willingly hugged her yawning Xiaoyudian.

Xiaoyudian hugged Pingyang a lot along the way, and when she saw her, she didn't recognize her life, pouted her wet little mouth, and spit out a saliva bubble, which was one of the ways she was used to entertaining herself.

There was a hint of a smile on Pingyang's usually serious face, so he hugged the light rain and stayed for a while before getting up and going out.

After Pingyang left, Yiyu fed her baby daughter, and felt sorry for the little guy who had been following her bumpy road for days, so she personally coaxed her to sleep, and then simply washed up and went to bed to rest.

Lying on a clean and tidy bed, there is no familiar aromatherapy, there is no slave who asks for warmth, and Yu Yu does not admit the problem of the bed, tired for many days, and finally has a place to stay, but sighs that it is not what it used to be, more than half a month ago, she never thought that there would be a day of "sending people under the fence", and then wrapped in a tight quilt, and fell asleep with a squint.

Anyway, she can't go out now, so she just recuperates and recuperates, so let's save enough qi first.

The news that Princess Wei followed Princess Pingyang back to Beijing spread in the upper circles of Chang'an City.

To say that Princess Wei used to be a position that attracted women's eyes, then now it has become a sour and sarcastic joke for all the women after dinner, after all, the scenery of King Wei's mansion is no longer there, even if she returns to Beijing with Princess Pingyang, she can't hide the embarrassment behind her.

Those who have had a holiday with Yiyu are naturally happy to see her down, waiting for the opportunity to fall into the well, while some of the people who are related to Yiyu choose to avoid the limelight, and the rest are relatives and friends who are really worried about her situation.

On the third day after Cheng Xiaofeng returned to Beijing, she found the princess's mansion when she heard the news, and Pingyang informed the people in the mansion that she did not avoid the guests of Princess Wei, so she was able to easily enter the door that ordinary people could not enter.

When the girlfriends saw each other, they were very "red-eyed", and without saying a word, looking at Yu Yu's slightly emaciated face, Cheng Xiaofeng burst into tears first:

"I know that King Wei was wronged, how can I say that rebellion is rebellion, pity you, I heard that the palace sent troops to arrest you, I was worried about death, if it weren't for Qi Datou was also involved in this matter, Tian'er is still young, and there are a few people in the house who have escaped, and they can't do without people, I will definitely take someone out to find you in the morning, how can you suffer these hardships, I really hate that I am not righteous enough."

As she spoke, she reached out to beat herself, and Yu Yu was so frightened that she hurriedly grabbed her wrist and scolded with a smile:

"Talking nonsense, if you really leave your husband and children at home alone and run out to find me, then your brain will be broken. Don't cry, I have something to ask you, if you cry hoarsely, I'll ask someone. ”

Cheng Xiaofeng held back her crying, wiped her tears, held her hand, and said:

"I know what you're going to ask, Yating has explained to me when I came, Moying Literature Club is okay, because the sisters who joined the club were all carefully selected at the beginning, and none of them revealed that you were in charge. You don't know that the Wushuang Society is worried about our Qinwen Pavilion right now, and I wish we had a relationship with you, so that we can take the opportunity to stir up trouble, so I know that you are back, although everyone is very worried, after discussion, I am afraid that they will come to visit too dazzling, for fear of being seen something, so I came alone. ”

Cheng Xiaofeng's words, in fact, are false, after exposing Li Tai's "rebellion" in the court, two or three restless characters appeared in the Moying Literary Society, instigating the ladies and ladies in the society to withdraw, and several times secretly trying to find the account book in the Qinwen Pavilion, after being discovered by Shi Lian, several people in charge immediately took the idea, both soft and hard, stunned to make those people close their mouths, and walked out of the club in a gloomy manner, and paid a dividend out of their own pockets, stabilizing the mood of the women.

Shi Lian and the others, like Cheng Xiaofeng, did not do this because they had a friendship with Yiyu, after all, it involved rebellion, who would dare to mess with it, but the interests of Qinwen Pavilion were clearly seen by them, the thousands of dividends donated a few months ago were not fake, and the guest roster locked in the courtyard was not false, they weighed the pros and cons, and it was also for themselves that they wanted to protect Mo Ying.

This is actually what Yu Yu wanted at the beginning, what is unity, and with common interests, it can be firmly tied together.

"Did my second sister-in-law go back to her parents' house?" Yi Yu asked about Jin Lu'an's current situation, which was also the most worrying thing on the Lu family's road, although the prince was under pressure, he only ordered the arrest of the relatives of the Wei Palace, but it was difficult to guarantee that he would not embarrass their Lu family in private.

"Don't worry, Lu'an was personally sent to the Jin Mansion by my mother," Cheng Xiaofeng asked one answer and three answers, "Your aunt's family is fine, with my father's protection, and it is not involved in prison." ”

"That's good," Yi Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and finally asked, "I heard on the way that the Wei Wangfu and the Literature Museum have been sealed?" ”

Cheng Xiaofeng said angrily: "Yes, your big mansion is now afraid that it will be searched and turned into a ruined temple, and the Furong Garden has also been taken back by the prince and has become a place for the group of people in the women's hall to play." After the Literature Museum was sealed, "Kun Yuanlu" was also stopped, and Qi Datou couldn't find anything to do, so he was bored at home all day reading dead books, and I was annoyed when I looked at him. ”

knew that the progress of "Kun Yuanlu" would be affected, and Yu Yu was more worried about Li Tai's hard work than the house, so she frowned secretly, so she went to comfort Cheng Xiaofeng in turn:

"If you want to say that the prince colluded with the Turks, I don't believe it a hundred times, I don't know what misunderstanding there is, and I need to wait for the soldiers of the Western Expedition to return to Beijing, don't worry about this, Lord Qi is not having a good time, you don't have to be stubborn with him."

After persuading for a while, seeing that Cheng Xiaofeng had listened or not, Yu Yu stopped preaching and asked the maid to ask Qin Lin to hug Xiaoyu and show it to Cheng Xiaofeng.

"Ouch, you can let me see your baby," Cheng Xiaofeng hugged the light rain from Qin Lin's hand, and the whole person immediately passed the rain, "Look at these eyes and nose, how handsome you have to be when you grow up, alas, look at your baby, and then look at my family, Tian'er gave birth to a big head like his father, and it's ugly." ”

Listening to Cheng Xiaofeng's complaints, Yu Yu didn't think it was true, Qi Zheng was not ugly, Cheng Xiaofeng was handsome, and the child born would not be ugly.

Xiaoyudian had been breastfed earlier, and she slept soundly, but Cheng Xiaofeng touched her nose and pulled her hand, and there was no sign of waking up.

It was not until it was dark that Yu Yu urged Cheng Xiaofeng to go back, and before leaving, he stuffed a bamboo tube containing a letter to her, and told her a thousand words:

"You do me a favor, go to a fur shop on Xishi South Street, go to a shopkeeper surnamed Qiu, and give him this letter."

Cheng Xiaofeng must have known that what the Yu Yu gave her was not a trivial matter, so she took the bamboo tube into her arms and said:

"I'll save it, I'll see you in two days."

(On Christmas Eve, may everyone be safe and have a Merry Christmas.) ）
