Chapter 21 People don't die for their mouths
"Could it be that there is a treasure in Pei's Mansion?"
As far as he knew, in the previous dynasty, after the Pei family's accident, Pei's mansion became a forbidden place. Not to mention being close to Pei's Mansion, even the word "Pei's Mansion" is secretive.
There has always been a legend in the capital that Pei's mansion is haunted. Back then, the Pei family was wronged, and they were beheaded all over the house, and the blood flowed like a river. After their deaths, Pei's mansion was full of resentment, and I heard that in the middle of the night, there would be a sound of ghosts crying and wolf howls in Pei's mansion, which was very terrifying and terrifying.
In the previous dynasty, there were people who wanted to stay in Pei's Mansion, but because the evil spirit was too heavy, the people who lived in it had accidents one after another, even if they asked the monks to do it, it was useless, and since then no one dared to approach Pei's Mansion.
At the beginning of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the first emperor saw that Pei's mansion was deserted and felt pity, and was ready to ask someone to repair it well, and then reward it to his subordinates, but when repairing, someone fell from the roof and died on the spot. All kinds of evil legends about Pei's Mansion spread in the capital again, so the first emperor gave up the idea of repairing Pei's Mansion and let it continue to be abandoned.
"Laiwang, have you heard that there is a treasure in Pei Mansion?" Laiwang and their dogs used to be stray dogs, and they lived in Pei Fu. Pei Mansion is an evil place for people, but it is a good place for stray cats and dogs.
[I haven't heard of it.] Laiwang said, "We didn't find any treasures in Pei's Mansion. 】
"If there is no treasure, why would anyone approach Pei Mansion?" Zhao Yaomo rubbed his chin and said with a contemplative expression, "Pei Mansion is a haunted evil place, not to mention at night, even during the day, no one dares to approach." ”
[Yaoyao, don't worry, the brothers will help you take care of Pei's Mansion, and never let anyone else run into Pei's Mansion. 】
"You also have to pay attention to safety, don't get hurt by those people." Zhao Yao was not worried about those people entering Pei's Mansion, nor was he worried that those people would discover the secret passage from Pei's Mansion to the Cold Palace.
This secret passage is very secretive and difficult for ordinary people to find. He also found out because he came to enrich them.
After Zhao Yao finished speaking, he took Laiwang and them to train together.
Laiwang they are much more skilled in training today, and they can climb the slope smoothly.
Zhao Yao trained in the secret base for a while, and did not wait for the arrival of money, but waited for the arrival of them to like them.
They are magpies, and they often come to the palace to find Zhao Yao.
"Come to Xi, have any of you ever been to Yangzhou?" Zhao Yao asked, "Or, do you know the magpies in Yangzhou?" ”
Lai Xi said: [I have a sister I know who flew from the south, but I don't know if it's Yangzhou. 】
Zhao Yao was pleasantly surprised: "That's probably Yangzhou, is your sister still in the capital?" ”
Lai Xi said: [It should still be in the capital, Yaoyao, do you have something to do with it? 】
Zhao Yao hurriedly said: "Something, I want to ask your sister about Yangzhou." Laihi, can you bring it to me? ”
[Then Yaoyao, you have to wait a few days. Laixi said, "I have to find it first. 】
"Okay, then I'll wait for you." Zhao Yao felt that he was lucky, and finally waited for a bird flying from Yangzhou.
After making love with Laixi for a while, Zhao Yao left the cold palace and returned to the Kunde Palace.
Liang Zhaoyi was sitting in front of the window reading a book, and when she saw Zhao Yao coming back, she smiled softly at him, and then asked with concern: "How are they training in Laiwang?" ”
"The training was good." As Zhao Yao spoke, he noticed the book in Liang Zhaoyi's hand, which was called "Four Seasons of the Year".
Liang Zhaoyi saw that her son had been staring at the book in her hand, and with a thoughtful expression, she asked, "What's the matter, is there anything wrong with the book in the mother's hand?" ”
Zhao Yao withdrew his thoughts from the book in Liang Zhaoyi's hand and asked his mother, "Mother, does the Pei family have any secrets?" ”
Liang Zhaoyi couldn't help but be shocked when she heard her son's question, so she put down the book in her hand, looked at her son suspiciously, and asked, "Why do you ask like that?" ”
"Laiwang said that there were several people wandering near Pei's Mansion last night, Pei's Mansion is the most evil place in the capital, no one dares to approach on weekdays, and now someone is approaching, isn't it too strange?" Zhao Yao continued, "I asked to come and wang them, there is no treasure in Pei Mansion, so it can only be a secret. Mother, you have read so many books of Pei Guifei, have you found any secrets? ”
The book "Four Seasons of the Year" that Liang Zhaoyi just read was left by Pei Guifei back then. When Pei Guifei was beaten into the cold palace, she brought a lot of books to the cold palace. Later, Concubine Pei died, and her books were left in the cold palace.
When Zhao Yao was exploring in the Cold Palace, the first thing he found was this pile of books. Liang Zhaoyi likes to read. Zhao Yao moved all the books in the cold palace to her.
When Pei Guifei was alive, she was a famous talented woman in the previous dynasty. Her books are all good books, and there are many unique ones.
Liang Zhaoyi thought about it seriously, then shook his head and said, "I didn't find any secrets. ”
"That's weird."
Liang Zhaoyi thought for a while and said, "During this time, I will carefully look at the books left by Pei Guifei to see if there are any clues." ”
"Mother, forget it." Zhao Yao said, "It has nothing to do with us whether Pei Mansion has secrets or not. If there is a secret, we know it, but it is not good, and maybe there will be danger. "Pei's Mansion was beheaded all over the house back then, except for Pei Guifei's favor and jealousy, there should be other reasons." Maybe it will involve the secrets of the previous dynasty, which is not a good thing, so let's not delve into it. ”
Liang Zhaoyi felt that Zhao Yao's words were very right, nodded and said, "Then forget it." ”
"Mother, it's not too early, I should go to the horse farm." This afternoon, practicing horseback riding was his favorite lesson.
"Change your clothes first." Liang Zhaoyi advised, "Be careful when riding a horse, don't fall." ”
"Mother, how could I fall." Zhao Yao said proudly, "I'm a master of horseback riding. ”
"Yes, yes, you're a master horseman." Liang Zhaoyi smiled and said, "Don't get carried away with the master, you still have to pay attention when riding a horse." ”
"I'll take notice." Zhao Yao waved his hand to Liang Zhaoyi, "Mother, I'm going to change my clothes." ”
"Go ahead."
Zhao Yao returned to his room and changed into a riding suit. Then, take Tongxi to the horse farm.
In the north courtyard of the palace, there is a horse farm. On weekdays, the Forbidden Army practiced riding here. Sometimes, Emperor Wu of Zhou would also come here to ride horses.
On the way to the racecourse, I met the Eighth Prince.
The Eighth Prince was specially waiting for Zhao Yao halfway. As soon as I saw him, I handed him the bad goosepaw duck letter.
"Today, there is a dish of bad goose paw duck letter for lunch in the East Palace, I specially asked the prince's brother for this dish, it is still hot, you eat it while it is hot."
"Starling, you specially asked for me."
"Isn't that your favorite dish?"
Zhao Yao nodded again and again: "Well, I love to eat it the most, thank you Starling." He said with a grateful face, "Starling, you are the best." ”
Looking at Zhao Yao's happy face, a smile appeared in the eyes of the eighth prince: "Don't be discovered by the fourth brother when you eat, otherwise you will be told by the fourth brother." ”
"Starling, I understand." Zhao Yao said, and couldn't wait to take out one and eat it.
"How's it going, does it suit your appetite?"
Zhao Yao nodded vigorously and said, "It's delicious, it's so delicious." ”
"Eat slowly, don't choke."
"Starling, do you go to the East Palace to eat at noon every day, are they all delicious?"
"The prince's brother is frugal, and not every meal is very rich. However, every dish at the East Palace is very tasty. ”
As soon as the eighth prince spoke, he saw Zhao Yao looking at him with envy on his face.
"Starling, you eat delicious food every day, you are really happy." He also wanted to go to the East Palace to eat.
"I didn't go to the East Palace to eat deliciously."
"Starling, you are stupid, since there is delicious food in the East Palace, then you must eat more." Zhao Yao pursed his mouth and said, "If you don't eat for nothing, you won't eat." ”
The Eighth Prince stretched out his hand and poked Zhao Yao's forehead, and said helplessly and dotingly: "You know how to eat." ”
"People don't die for the sake of their mouths." Zhao Yao said confidently.
The Eighth Prince was amused by Zhao Yao's words: "What kind of crooked reasoning are you. ”
"I'm right, after all, the people take food as their heaven." Zhao Yao shook his head and said, "Life is not just for eating." ”
"Alright, you can keep eating."
"Starling, do you eat?" Zhao Yao took out one and handed it to the Eighth Prince.
"I've eaten it, you're delicious."
Zhao Yao was not polite when he heard this, and continued to eat happily.
Looking at Zhao Yao's appearance of eating with relish, the eighth prince was a little greedy. Every time I watch my tenth brother eat, I feel very fragrant. At the same time, I feel very satisfied, as if nothing is important, and nothing is happy.
Seeing that he was about to arrive at the racecourse, Zhao Yao put away the bad goose paw duck letter, handed it to Tongxi, and asked Tongxi to put it away and eat it after school.
When Zhao Yao and the others arrived at the racecourse, the third prince and the fourth prince had already arrived.
At this moment, the three princes were gathered in front of a horse.
The horse was red, without a trace of hair, and ran like a flame, hence the name Agni. It was the beloved horse of Emperor Wu of Zhou. He had been accompanying Emperor Wu of Zhou on the battlefield before, and saved Emperor Wu of Zhou in danger countless times.
It has a very strong temperament. Except for Emperor Wu of Zhou, Agni didn't let anyone ride it, nor did he let anyone get close to touch it.
The three princes stood far away, and they did not dare to approach the flames, otherwise they would be unceremoniously sprayed by the flames, and they might even be kicked by it.
