Chapter 108: Embroidery

Now that the Fengquan Royal Mansion and the Pingyuan Earl's Mansion have thought of a way to deal with it, this good show will start soon.

Several officials of the Criminal Department were each responsible for a part of the case, and went to various prefectures separately for questioning and investigation. The assassination of the princess was a big case, and they did not dare to draw conclusions, but only recorded their investigation process in detail, and the emperor himself drew conclusions.

Emperor Jiahou was quiet at first, and gave the prince of Qinghe a full moon wine. On the 40th day of the child, the emperor received the transcripts of all the officials who handled the case in the Criminal Department, and he ordered people to go to the prefectures to announce all the people involved in the palace to confront him. In this way, if one person says something that does not match the situation on the spot, the others will point out his mistake to his face.

The killer appears to be a Sidete, but in fact he is a Hayes. The officials of the Criminal Department also got the purse that Wei Yangyang had given to Cheek Bo Yifan before under Shen Minghuang's skillful arrangement. All the evidence points to the Hayes Mission.

Since it involves the lord of the Hays country, if this case is not handled well, it is likely to affect the diplomatic relations and border tranquility between the two countries. Although Hayes is a small country, he is also the king of a country. Emperor Jiahou could not interrogate him like a prisoner, so he could only set up a banquet, nominally inviting him to the palace.

After the cheek wave fell down, he saw that in addition to Emperor Jiahou, there were also Shen Minghuang and his wife, Shen Mingyuan and his wife, Wei Shuping, Wei Bingyue, Wei Bingyue, and Wei Binggong, father and son. Since the turtle came to the city, he hadn't seen Wei Yangyang for four years. When he saw it today, he saw Wei Yangyang's face was pale and thin, and he didn't know if he was sick or injured.

Wei Yangyang is now the princess of Qinghe, and she has just given birth, but she is sick like this. Cheek Bo Yifan immediately decided in her heart that it was Shen Mingyuan who was not good to her. Otherwise, how could a vigorous girl be sick after marrying Shen Mingyuan?

Cheek Bo Yifan didn't know about Wei Yangyang's assassination, and now looking at the other party's appearance, she didn't know how much torture she had suffered in Qinghe Palace. He looked at Shen Mingyuan's gaze, and it was not so friendly.

Emperor Jiahou first asked people to present the purse embroidered with pomegranate flowers, placed it in front of Yifan on his cheeks, and asked if it was his belongings. A few days ago, he accidentally lost his purse, and he couldn't find it in the past few days, so he was so anxious. Now when he saw that the purse was back, he was overjoyed and hurriedly confirmed: "Yes, thank you Emperor Dayang, this is the lonely purse." ”

Shen Minghuang opened his mouth and asked him: "May I ask Lord Hays, where did you get this purse from?" Cheek Bo Yifan didn't want to cause trouble for Wei Yangyang, so he replied casually: "Oh, this is a gift from the old man." Because they have been friends for many years and have deep feelings, they have always been lonely. "The feelings are deep, and this is what Shen Minghuang is waiting for! He directly pointed at Wei Yangyang and asked Bo Yifan: "May I ask this old man of the Great Monarch, is it the princess of Qinghe?" ”

When he heard this, he realized that today's banquet was a feast! He immediately realized that he had been carrying the purse with him and keeping it carefully, and that it was possible that the purse was not lost a few days ago, but was deliberately stolen. Among the court officials, the people who had the most contact with him were the people from the Ministry of Rites, and he knew that Shen Minghuang was in charge of the Ministry of Rites. Now I see that the other party is so aggressive, I am afraid that the thief is found by Shen Minghuang.

The sudden appearance of the purse, the strange atmosphere of the scene, and Wei Yangyang's pale face, even if he didn't know anything, he could think that something must have happened to Wei Yangyang or the Wei family! Since someone wants to frame Wei Yangyang and himself, he must have inquired about the origin of this purse in advance, and he must not lie, otherwise he will not be able to tell.

Thinking of this, he decided to tell the truth: "The lonely old man is indeed the princess of Qinghe. In the winter of the eleventh year of Jiayu, the weather was unusually cold, and the grain of our Hays country was almost exhausted. Miss Wei, no, it's Princess Qinghe. She is kind-hearted, grew up with her brother since childhood, and takes a lot of care of Lonely. The princess took the order of Wei Bo, that is, the general soldier of Wei at that time, and sent fifty carts of food and water to Black Panther City to solve our urgent needs. Wei Bo was still afraid that there would be a shortage of Lonely, so he asked the princess to send another 5,000 taels of silver tickets, and he used this lotus package. Lone felt that this was a piece of kindness from Weber, so he accepted it. ”

Cheek Bo Yifan is very good at talking, he avoided his personal relationship with Wei Yangyang, and only said that the materials and silver tickets were sent by Wei Shuping, so it has nothing to do with Wei Yangyang. But how could Shen Minghuang easily let go of this great opportunity to bring down Shen Mingyuan? He asked Bo Yifan: "Maharaja, this purse is embroidered with a pomegranate flower." Princess Qinghe is the sixteenth in her mother's family, and her family also calls her Little Pomegranate. This purse must not have been given to her by Weber, but she embroidered it for you. ”

Hearing this, Wei Yangyang couldn't help but smile. Emperor Jiahou saw her strange expression, so he asked her, "Luyang, what's wrong with you?" Wei Yangyang hurriedly stood up and replied: "Back to my father, my daughter-in-law grew up in the barracks since she was a child, and she can only use swords, guns, swords, and halberds, and she doesn't know anything about needlework. Later, when I came to Huadu, I began to learn embroidery, but I didn't learn it seriously, and the embroidery was not the same at all. The pomegranate flowers on this purse are discounted by my daughter-in-law's hands, and I can't embroider them. I once gave His Royal Highness King Qinghe a handkerchief with two red beans embroidered by myself. You can see at a glance how your daughter-in-law's embroidery is. ”

The red beans on the handkerchief were given to Shen Mingyuan as a gift on the wedding night after she had practiced for two months. Shen Mingyuan has always been close to him, neither willing to use it, nor willing to show it to others. Now that he heard Wei Yangyang say this, he quickly took out the handkerchief and handed it to the little inner prison behind him. The little eunuch unfolded the handkerchief, placed it in a tray, and presented it to Emperor Jiahu.

Even people who don't know anything about embroidery can see that the embroidery style on the two handkerchiefs is completely different. Emperor Jiahou almost laughed out loud when he saw the two crooked red beans embroidered. Shen Minghuang had only heard Wei Yangyang say that she didn't know how to embroider, and thought she was modest. He didn't expect that the other party's "no" was really not, not at all.

Shen Minghuang had never seen Shen Mingyuan show the handkerchief in front of people, so he naturally didn't know how bad Wei Yangyuan's embroidery was. Just now the handkerchief was presented directly to the emperor, and he still didn't see the appearance of the two red beans. But when he saw Emperor Jiahu's expression below, he knew that something had gone wrong and he had to find a way to remedy it.

Maybe the pomegranate flower was really not embroidered by Wei Yangyang, but Cheek Bo Yifan thought it was, as long as Cheek Bo Yifan knew that Wei Yang was lying to him, would he still help Wei Yang later?

Shen Minghuang pretended not to know and said to the emperor: "Father, my younger sister said that the sixth brother's handkerchief was embroidered by her, and there is no basis for it. You can summon the embroidery lady of the Shangyi Bureau to watch her younger siblings embroider a few stitches, make a judgment, and see if the pomegranate flower was embroidered by her. ”

This method is very good, whether it is true or not, you will know it at a check. Emperor Jiahou sent someone to Cui Shanggong of the Shangyi Bureau, and she took Wei Yangyang to the side hall for verification. After a while, Wei Yangyang and Cui Shanggong went and returned. Cui Shanggong held a handkerchief in his hand and presented it to the emperor: "Back to the emperor, the slave maid asked the princess to try to embroider a few threads." The princess is a beginner, and she can only combine needles, and she can't embroider braids and gold embroidery; As for the more difficult embroidery and needlework, the princess had never even heard of it. However, the princess is very smart, and if she practices diligently, she will soon be able to learn. ”

Cui Shanggong didn't dare to say that Wei Yangyang's embroidery was ugly, so he could only praise her for being smart. However, for the sake of safety, Emperor Jiafu still asked someone to summon a little embroidered girl from the Shangyi Bureau at random and asked her if she could see the difference between the embroidery on the three handkerchiefs. The little embroidery girl didn't know what was happening, she picked up the three handkerchiefs and looked at them separately, pointed to the one that had just been embroidered, and said, "This piece and this red bean should be embroidered by the same person; And this flower was embroidered by another person. ”

The emperor stared at the little embroidered girl and asked again, "Are you sure?" The little embroidered girl nodded: "Back to the emperor, the slave is sure." Although the pomegranate flower was embroidered in a hurry, it could be seen that this man was very good at embroidering; The person who embroidered red beans practiced for ten years, and he couldn't catch up with her. ”

As soon as she said this, the people in the palace couldn't help but smile, and Wei Yangyang was even more ashamed and wanted to get into the floor. However, this little embroidered girl unceremoniously said a word, but it relieved Wei Yangyang.

Wei Yangyang turned his head to Shen Minghuang and said, "Brother Huang, I was not married at the time, how could I embroider a pomegranate flower and give it away?" Pomegranate flowers are used by married women and represent many children and many blessings. When I first came to Huadu, I named my yard "Durian Garden", but my third sister-in-law rejected it, so I changed the name to "Guiyuan". ”

Her explanation is reasonable, and the pomegranate flower was not embroidered by her, so of course this matter has nothing to do with her. Shen Minghuang saw her smiling and thought: I'm afraid you won't be able to laugh soon.

He asked again to the cheeks: "Maharaja, you were in Gusu before, and you had correspondence with Princess Qinghe, and you have been in contact since then. The relationship between the two of you is very unusual. ”

When he said this, he clearly pointed out that Yifan and Wei Yangyang had a personal relationship. Wei Yangyang was very angry after hearing this, and thought to himself: "Writing a letter in Gusu, didn't you ask me to write it?" "The reputation of the princess is very important, if Cheek Bo Yifan admits it on the spot, Wei Yangyang will not be able to wash it even if he jumps into the Yellow River.

Wei Yangyang glared at Shen Minghuang fiercely, holding the wine glass in front of her tightly in her hand, if Shen Minghuang dared to talk nonsense again, she didn't dare to guarantee that she would not smash the wine glass at the other party. Shen Mingyuan suddenly reached out and grabbed her left hand, and gently rubbed her tiger mouth with his thumb. Only then did she calm down a little and retract her gaze to look at Shen Mingyuan.

The other party smiled at her gently, shook her hand vigorously, and expressed his attitude: I believe in you. Shen Mingyuan's actions gave Wei Yangyang great support. Yes, when I entered Black Panther City to help the Hays army fight back against the Water Demon Army, His Highness knew from beginning to end that it was just a ploy. As long as he trusts me, gossip is afraid of anything.

After this calmness, she found that her father, Wei Shuping, picked up a peanut and a soybean with chopsticks and put them on a plate. Peanuts are red, soybeans are yellow, and Wei Shuping's ring is set with green and blue gemstones. Wei Shuping also deliberately used chopsticks to pluck the position of the soybeans, which represented a flag slogan: "As usual".

When the army returns to the base camp of each flag after going out to fight, if there is no abnormality in each flag and there is no enemy army, the flag language soldier will play this flag slogan, which means that the situation in the camp is exactly the same as when the army set off, and can return to the team with confidence. Wei Yangyang knew that her father did this to reassure her.

She didn't know what the Wei family had found, but Wei Shuping sent it like this, and she was also very moved. No matter what kind of storm you will face, your mother's family will always be your strong support!

Wei Shuping dared to issue a flag like this, because he expected that he would not dare to talk nonsense. Hayes is a small country, and he has to rely on the care of the Wei family everywhere in the north to avoid being bullied by other countries. Let's put aside the feelings of Bo Yifan for Wei Yangyang, he framed the daughter of the Wei family, does he still want to sit in the position of the monarch?

When he saw Shen Mingyuan and his wife looking at each other, he could immediately feel that the two couples were very affectionate. If this is the case, then Wei Yangyang was not injured by Shen Mingyuan. This Shen Minghuang is so aggressive, he just targeted Wei Yangyang, it seems that he is the one who is not good.

Cheek Bo Yifan was about to give the other party some color to see, and he first admitted the matter: "Yes, Gu and Princess Qinghe were childhood playmates. As soon as he said this, Wei Yangyang's heart thumped, he had rejected him back then, would he take the opportunity to retaliate? But when he got married, he also painted a painting with his own hands and sent it as a gift, and I heard Wenru say that it would take many paintings to succeed. He is so dedicated, it means that he has been relieved a long time ago, doesn't it? Yifan is not such a person, he will not fall into the well!

Sure enough, Chou Bo Yifan continued: "But Gu grew up in Bibo City, Houwan County, and the princess didn't know that Lone was a member of the Grub family at first, and she never looked down on me because Lone was a foreign race. Besides,"

He looked at Shen Mingyuan: "When I came to Huadu this time, I heard that there were legends in the streets and alleys that it was the princess who saved King Qinghe in the desert, and this made a good fate." The princess will save people because she has been warm since she was a child, did she know that this was her future husband at that time, so she was willing to take action?

In fact, whether it is King Qinghe or Lonely, or someone else. Even if it is a pawn of a peddler, as long as the princess encounters injustice, she will take action. Lone also met her because the princess helped to break the siege several times. Many of the people she helped became good friends with her. Such an enthusiastic girl, lonely thoughts, both men and women, young and old, will like her. Is it also a sin to be popular? ”

He changed his "liking" for Wei Yangyang from a personal relationship between his children and his children to a kind of appreciation. Although Wei Yangyang is eccentric, she is very enthusiastic and bold. From a prince like Shen Mingyuan to a prostitute like Gan Tang, as long as her temper is right, Wei Yangyang can sit and drink with them, and she doesn't care what the other party's identity is.
