It was already cool autumn, and the Huaishui was full of misty white fog in the morning and evening.

Princess Beixin is over forty years old, and her phoenix eyes and lips can be seen to be a beauty, but the fine lines at the end of her eyes that can't be hidden by fat powder let people know that this beauty is twilight and no longer young.

"Emperor Feng urged again and again, but Ziyan is still young, how can I rest assured that he will go to Kyoto. Now that the prince and Zi Huaidu are gone, I only have Ziyan, how, how can I make him miss again......" Princess Beixin can be said to be in tears, crying uncontrollably, almost not angry.

"Niangniang, you can't go to Kyoto!"

The person who spoke was an old man dressed in plain white cloth with a wrinkled face, and there was a resemblance between his eyebrows and his eyes with Princess Beixin, and he was sitting at the moment

The rain mist soaked the plantain leaves in front of the window, and the dripping raindrops slid down the rolled plantain leaves.

Click-Click

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the maid hurriedly closed the wooden window with a view of the lake.

The conversation of the people in the room gradually fell into a low voice.

The eyes of the maid in pink clothes under the porch flashed, and she ran out of the courtyard with the box in her hand, and entered the courtyard to the east in a blink of an eye.

"What did my mother and grandfather say?"

Chu Ziyan, who was only ten years old and still had a childish face, rushed out and looked anxiously at the pink-clothed maid who came in, "I heard Mr. say that Kyoto is much more fun than Huaibei!" And Emperor Feng only has a little doll who doesn't know if he can grow up, I will be the eldest prince when I go to Kyoto, and the entire Dongfeng Kingdom will be mine in the future, but it is majestic! ”

The middle-aged scribe in the room, who was slowly sipping a teacup, raised his eyebrows and nodded at the maid who came in.

The maid immediately understood, frowned and said to Chu Ziyan, who was full of excitement: "Little boy! The princess and Lord Du don't want you to leave Huaibei, but I'm afraid you won't be able to go to Kyoto. ”

"No way!"

Chu Ziyan's face puffed out, his white and childish face was full of unhappiness, "I'm going to find my mother, why don't you let me go over if Kyoto is so good!" If you go, you can still live in the palace, and the entire Dongfeng Kingdom will be mine in the future, shouldn't the mother concubine be happy? ”

As he spoke, he was about to rush out to find Princess Beixin.

"Childe."

The seated scribe stood up and shouted in a deep voice.

Chu Ziyan immediately stopped, turned around and ran over, pulled his sleeve and asked in confusion, "Didn't Mr. say that Kyoto is very good?" Wouldn't it be right for Ziyan to go to her mother and ask her to agree to us going to Kyoto? ”

"Childe also heard it just now, Lord Du doesn't plan to let you go to Kyoto, and the princess basically listens to Lord Du, so Childe will definitely be rejected if he goes to the princess."

"What then?"

Chu Ziyan frowned sadly, "My grandfather will let me study with a straight face." In the past, my brother would let me play for a while when he was at home, but now he is staring at me reading and writing in the morning and afternoon, and today I still have to go to find my mother and concubine, otherwise I won't be able to see you, sir. ”

"Childe, Lord Du is also for your good, but he doesn't understand your difficulties, Childe."

The middle-aged scribe said lightly.

Chu Ziyan immediately snorted coldly and muttered unhappily: "Grandfather, he is not for my good, but for himself." Just like you said, sir, if it weren't for my brother's accident, my grandfather wouldn't have been so attentive to me! I don't care, I'm going to Kyoto anyway. ”

"Childe is sure to go."

The middle-aged scribe squinted his eyes, looking at the pampered little prince of Beixin Wang in front of him, he had already calculated everything in his heart, and at this moment he was deliberately waiting for Chu Ziyan to drill into the trap he had planned.

Chu Ziyan immediately nodded heavily, looked at the middle-aged scribe expectantly, and said excitedly: "Sir, is there any way to get the concubine to agree to my mother's decision to go to Kyoto?" ”

The middle-aged scribe shook his head.

Under Chu Ziyan's momentary deflated ball-like appearance, the middle-aged scribe spoke slowly and leisurely, "If Gongzi really wants to go to Kyoto, there is no way, but we have to hide it from the princess and others, we will go secretly, and when we arrive in Kyoto, even if the princess knows about it, we can't change anything, so we can only loosen up and promise to let Gongzi live in the palace." ”

"When are we leaving, sir?"

Chu Ziyan nodded without hesitation.

The middle-aged scribe touched Chu Ziyan's forehead with a smile, and said softly: "Don't worry, Gongzi will wait for me to arrange it, and when there is a suitable time, I will definitely take Gongzi to leave Huaibei." ”

——

Snowflakes fell from the gray sky, and after the night, the eaves and treetops were covered with snow.

It's winter in the blink of an eye.

"Wu and Hunan are basically under control, but they have to rearrange people to manage the official affairs of the two states."

Bai Wulan was drinking ginger tea, his body was still soaked in the chill of ice and snow, he had just rushed back from Xiangzhou, and only untied his cloak full of snowflakes and went directly into the study of Xiangcheng Taishou Mansion.

"Find those two Taishou?"

After Luo Lingzhi instructed the maid to bring ginger tea to Bai Wulan, she raised her eyebrows and asked, but it was rare to hold a brush in her hand and write. Bai Wulan glanced at it, saw the words Dabao, Nannan, etc., and knew that it was Luo Lingzhi who wanted two children.

Hooked the corners of his lips and smiled, "These two people all went to Huaibei, but they were directly killed by the angry Du Zhe, which saved us a lot of trouble." ”

"Then who do you think we should take over?"

Luo Lingzhi wrote five full pages before he stopped writing and looked up at Bai Wulan.

I had an idea in my heart, but I was too embarrassed to speak, and asked tentatively with a wink, "Do you think I'll let Chief Xun move another place?" ”

"Where's Xiangcheng?"

Although Bai Wulan also felt that Chief Officer Xun was quite capable, he just thought that Chief Officer Xun had taken over Xiangcheng for less than half a year, and he had just made it easier for him to deal with the affairs of Wu and Hunan was a bit too oppressive to the other party, and he thought that Chief Officer Xun had not been able to rest for a moment for almost two years, so it was rare for him to find another person with a rare conscience.

Luo Lingzhi knew it when he heard his tone, blinked, and immediately said, "Then you won't be troublesome anymore, you have worked hard for the past two years." ”

"Wulan thinks Chief Xun is very good!"

Bai Wulan immediately threw that idea away from his conscience.

Luo Lingzhi smiled, "Then trouble Wulan, you go and discuss this matter with Chief Xun." ”

She had promised to give Chief Xun annual leave before, but now it seems that there is no way, so this matter still has to be said by someone else, Bai Wulan is just right. After finalizing something that gave him a headache, Luo Lingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and then thought of Emperor Feng's repeated sending people to Huaibei, and couldn't help frowning.

"Can't you really take Huaibei now?"

If it drags on like this, I don't know when I will be able to return to Sichuan City.

Bai Wulan shook his head, and then smiled again, "Luo Niangzi, don't worry, Huaibei's current calm is just that the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings, Emperor Feng's ability to endure waiting for so long is already the limit, and he must take action, besides, that Duan Wang, don't look at the lack of movement on the surface, if Wu Lan guessed well, I am afraid that Duan Wang has already taken action." ”

Just when the two were discussing the affairs of Huaibei, Chief Xun suddenly came over in a hurry and said in a deep voice: "Just now came the news, the young son of the king of Beixin suddenly disappeared!" ”
