"And then?" The Empress Dowager asked anxiously.

"Those gangsters may be human teeth, saying that they took advantage of the fact that Ling Yan was alone, so they used *. Miss Lingyan was stunned and was helped by the two gangsters, and she didn't even have a sense of resistance, and got into the uninhabited alley.

Thanks to the eldest lady Ling Xi catching her back, she was suspicious when she saw Ling Yan girl and two strange men together, but she didn't dare to speak out, lest Ling Yan did something ridiculous, and Zhang Yangkai had a bad reputation for her. I didn't try my best to catch up, and I was immediately noticed by those two, where is the opponent? ”

Mama Lin paused, and the Empress Dowager asked anxiously, "Have they all been arrested?" ”

Mama Lin shook her head: "At this time, Miss Ling Yan slowly came to her senses, broke free from the gangster who was holding her, and fled in a panic. ”

The Empress Dowager was stunned for a while, and then laughed out loud: "She actually left Ling Xi who saved her and ran away by herself?" ”

"Isn't it!" Mama Lin shrugged: "It's even more ridiculous, it's still to come." ”

The Empress Dowager asked with interest as if she had heard a storyteller tell a story, "What happened later?" ”

Mama Lin saw that the Empress Dowager was calm and relaxed, and she didn't panic: "After Miss Ling Yan escaped, she was afraid that this matter would not sound good and her reputation would be damaged, so she didn't shout or scream, and returned to the Hou Ye's Mansion without saying a word. Hou Ye asked her about Miss Ling Xi's whereabouts, but she even excused herself and said that she had never seen her. ”

"What about Ling Xi?"

"It was also when Ling Xi's girl Jiren had her own natural appearance, and when she was struggling in a panic, two people came out of the back door of a house in the alley, and scolded, and the two traffickers were afraid of the incident, so they walked away, and Ling Xi escaped the catastrophe."

"Has this been spread out?"

Mama Lin shook her head: "Miss Ling Xi returned to the Hou Mansion safe and sound, and asked Miss Ling Yan angrily. The Lian family is naturally partial, coaxing and persuading behind closed doors, and cannot be opened, but the outside news is closed. ”

The Empress Dowager took a long breath: "Fortunately, this Lian family is not stupid, and knows that it is hidden." ”

After Mama Lin finished speaking, she couldn't help but sigh: "What kind of temperament do you say this Miss Ling Yan?" How can you be so ruthless and abandon your sisters? And at the critical moment, he was still in danger, pretending to return to the Hou Mansion as if nothing had happened, and he didn't make a noise at all. ”

The Empress Dowager stared at the hedgehog offered on the Buddha case, and felt that her heart was also messy, as if she was full of thorns, and sighed: "Such a ruthless heart is exactly what Yuehua lacks." ”

Mama Lin pursed her lips disdainfully: "Even if she was frightened at the time, she was at a loss for a while, and she didn't have any concerns, then she should report to the official in the future." Today, the yamen patrolling the city is afraid of turmoil, and the people of the yamen are everywhere on the street. Isn't she afraid that Miss Ling Xi will really have any accidents? ”

"That's desire. She often Lingyan is bent on entering the palace as a concubine, unscrupulous means, now at a critical moment, how can she ruin her reputation for others? She has such unwavering determination and ruthless methods, but unfortunately she is too arrogant. In the eyes of the mourning family, it is like chicken ribs, the food is tasteless, and it is a pity to abandon it, and the mourning family does not know whether it is a blessing or a curse if she is allowed to enter the palace? ”

The Empress Dowager glanced at the incense on the case, still palpitating and worried.

Mama Lin said cautiously: "You said, today's incident, will it be a coincidence?" ”

"Humph! I'm afraid it's hard to say. If someone is unwilling to enter the palace, such a method is just a small test. ”

"In fact, the old slave thinks that this Miss Ling Yan is really not as safe as the queen, and it is not in line with the emperor's temperament, so it is no wonder that she is not social with the other sisters."

The Empress Dowager sighed lightly: "So the mourning family has been hesitating and can't make up their minds." But I can't pick a favorite one in the other rooms. I won't mention her entry into the palace for the time being, let's talk about it slowly. ”

Chang Lingyan's entry into the palace was temporarily put on hold, and only then did rumors slowly come out, saying that he stayed in the Hou Mansion to fulfill his filial piety and serve the Lian family.

The people in the palace felt inexplicable, but at the same time there was some schadenfreude. I wish that Lian's life would be another life, Chang Lingyan must keep filial piety for three years, and after three years, I don't know if the Empress Dowager can survive until then.

The sixteenth day of the first lunar month, in the Chang'an Dynasty, is the most lively day of the year, even more than the Shangyuan Festival.

After today, the year will be completely over, and people will return to their hard work one after another.

After dinner, according to the custom, the people of Beijing will go out and start to walk a hundred steps to eliminate all kinds of diseases, so thousands of empty alleys, all gather on the street, watch lanterns, guess word puzzles, set off fireworks, and pray for good weather and abundant crops in the coming year.

In previous years, Mo Guhan would also personally command hundreds of officials, climb the city gate, enjoy with the people, and show the emperor's grace.

Every time the emperor goes out of the palace, there is always a great pomp, a few days in advance to start preparations, the sedan chair, the guard of honor, the music, especially the guards, the teacher moves, he rides on the sedan chair, and walks from the long street majestically past, people are next to each other, people are crowded, the mountains are shouting long live, except for the head of the black press, nothing can be seen.

So this year, Mo Guhan changed his mind and did a real "fun with the people".

There are only four people who have received such grace, Shao Ziqing, Chu Mubai, Bu Chen and another Tsing Yi guard.

When Mo Guhan went out on patrol, Buchen and Shao Ziqing were inseparable, Shao Ziqing was Zhiduoxing, and Buchen was responsible for protecting safety.

This year, there is one more Chu Mubai.

Chu Mubai and Shao Ziqing have a very good personal relationship, the two cherish each other, and often eat wine and tea together, but Shao Ziqing likes to eat flower wine, while Chu Mubai is the opposite.

When Shao Ziqing arrived at Qianqingmen in a panic, there was still a sweet and greasy fat powder on his body, Mo Guhan, Chu Mubai, Buchen and the other three all glanced at him arrogantly, turned around and did not speak, as if there was a tacit understanding, and the other guard lowered his head and said nothing.

Shao Ziqing looked down at his clothes, then raised his sleeves to smell them, and smiled: "The three of you don't understand the amorous style, and you don't understand the elegance when you say it, so don't say it." ”

The trio were even more nostril-facing and seemed disdainful of being together.

"Just a few of us?" Shao Ziqing looked back and forth, left and right, a little incredulous.

Mo Gu snorted coldly: "What Shao Xiang means is that I should find a few beautiful palace people for you to serve?" ”

Shao Ziqing shook his head like a rattle: "That's not necessary, it's just a few big men shopping for lanterns, isn't it a bit like that?" ”

With that, he swiped his sleeves.

"Huh?" Mo Guhan snorted softly.

Shao Ziqing coughed lightly and straightened his chest: "Actually, Weichen means that a domineering and majestic man like the emperor, Brother Chu is so heroic, and I am so graceful and suave, walking on the street, I am afraid that the beauties in Beijing will flock to it and eat it." ”

Mo Guhan looked him up and down meaningfully: "That Shao Xiang has no power to restrain the chicken, how did he escape safely on the way here?" Could it be that the clouds are driving the fog? ”

Shao Ziqing touched his nose in disdain: "Naturally, it was the sedan chair of the Floating Drunken Dream Building that sent me back." ”

Several people couldn't help twitching the corners of their mouths, and Chu Mubai stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "It is also Shao Xiang's ability to make the old bustard of the drunken dream building treat him politely." ”

Shao Ziqing has always been very worried about Chu Mubai, slapped his chest loudly, and whispered with eyebrows: "Brother Chu, don't worry, if the emperor doesn't give you a marriage, your marriage will all be wrapped up in me." If you want to marry a few rooms, what flavor you want, I guarantee that you will match all the ups and downs. ”

Chu Mubai waved his hand again and again, as if avoiding snakes and scorpions: "Shao Xiang, this is something that he can't resist, and he wants to blame others, right?" ”

Mo Guhan flicked his sleeves: "Don't worry about Shao Xiang being nosy, spoiling my first good general in Chang'an, Chu Mubai's marriage is naturally worrying." ”

"Who?" Shao Ziqing asked out loud: "Rob my matchmaker." ”

Mo Guhan and Chu Mubai had already taken the lead in walking outside the palace, pointing to the Tsing Yi guards who were following behind them: "She! ”

The little guard who walked behind raised his head and smiled at Shao Ziqing, as if he saw the moon through the clouds, the moon was beginning to appear, and the entire night sky was amazingly clear and pure.

"Lord Shao Xiang, take care of your life."

Shao Ziqing frolicked and froze on his face, and for a moment the turbulent waves in his eyes could not be hidden.

"Emperor, Queen Mother."

Yuehua combed all her hair up because her hair was over her waist, coiled on top of her head, and covered it with a green gauze hat of the guards. How can I be clumsy and not recognize my own talent?

Seeing that he was stunned, Yuehua couldn't help but hide her mouth and snicker: "Don't come unharmed." ”

As soon as the words came out, Yuehua was a little stunned in her heart, since when did she see Shao Ziqing to be able to be so calm, the wind is calm, and there is no more complicated emotions in the past?

The corners of Shao Ziqing's mouth twitched twice unnaturally, and the expression on his face came alive again, and he was perfunctory: "Okay, okay." I didn't expect the queen to be here, and Ziqing spoke too much to Meng Lang, and asked the mother to forgive her sins. ”

Yuehua pursed her lips and smiled: "Shao Xiang is amorous, well-known in Chang'an, and has a true temperament everywhere, but don't instigate the emperor and General Chu to look for flowers and ask Liu, what is the crime?" ”

Bu Chen, who was walking behind, couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw Shao Ziqing finally meeting his opponent when he spoke.

Mo Gu Han in front of him walked two steps, and when he saw that the two were still talking in place, he frowned slightly: "Do you need to find the palace people to serve tea and wine?" ”

Yuehua knew that his cautious temperament had come up again, so he shook his head helplessly, took three steps and two steps to catch up, and muttered in a low voice: "If you don't like me to follow, why let Rongxiang call me?" ”

Mo Guhan's hearing was sensitive, and he listened to it word for word, turned his head to glare at her, and then pouted: "It's so ugly." ”

Yuehua glanced herself up and down, the guard's robe was wide and wide on her body, which was indeed a bit funny. I don't know which house he found it from, anyway, it's not the clothes of the palace guards.
