"How did you do that?"

In the small kitchen of the harem, the palace maid who had been serving Xiao Mingxue returned to the kitchen angrily with a bowl of desserts: "Let you use good dates and flower dew, what do you use?" Her Royal Highness the princess has been pampered by the concubine since she was a child, what treasures have you not eaten? You fool her with third-class dried dates? ”

"Ouch, I said sister" The kitchen lady looked at each other helplessly: "Where are the dates?" It has long been exchanged for money by those palace maids and eunuchs, not to mention the flower dew, the flower dew produced in Jiangnan, the top families are rushing to ask for it, she is a down-and-out princess, and she deserves to enjoy this? If I could find it, I'd exchange it for money. ”

"You" The palace maid suddenly turned pale with anger.

"I said, sister, what are you doing?" The cook looked at each other suspiciously: "The queen mother's holy decree has been issued, and the ending has been decided, do you still think she can marry Jiangnan?" It's ironclad and pro-Nanban, you don't know that ghost place, how many princesses married in the previous dynasty and what happened? After being boiled and eaten, do you still want to continue to follow her? ”

"You know what?" The palace maid calmed down, glared at the other party and said, "In our current situation, what can we do with more money?" What is the current situation in the capital, you don't know? I don't know if those people outside are people or ghosts, and if they continue to stay in the palace, maybe one day they will be gone, and if they leave the capital, if no one protects them, who dares to go out now? ”

"Then you really plan to go to Nanban to be a palace maid?" The other party said curiously.

"Phew, you just went to Nanban!" The palace maid took a sip, and then whispered, "What do you know?" Why is it the Empress Dowager's decree this time, instead of the Holy One's direct decree? With the strength of the saints, if you want to be close, where is the need for such concealment? This is obviously leaving a way out! ”

"Leave behind?"

"King Qin of Jiangnan, that's not what the court is willing to seal, it's a hard fight, such a character, Nanban's idea of beating someone's wife with something that doesn't know how to live or die, how could Jiangnan be willing to lose such a big face? I'll tell you, there will definitely be movement, I've already received the news, Jiangnan. It's already here! ”

"Someone's coming?" The cook's eyes lit up: "Is someone really here?" ”

"Well, it is said that they are almost in the capital, and it is estimated that in the past two days, the excitement is coming."

"Is it that King Qin came in person?"

"It should be like this" The palace maid said in a low voice: "To welcome the princess back, theoretically speaking, she should indeed come in person, but now in this capital, it is estimated that it is a little difficult to come in person, it depends on our princess Her Royal Highness, in the hearts of others, what is the status." ”

The two whispered, but they didn't know that Xiao Mingxue was outside the door.

She came to the small kitchen because she was actually hungry, and she didn't dare to walk around when it was dark, but she was easily hungry at night this winter, so she wanted to get some pastries here and go back to pad it, but she didn't expect to hear the two talking about herself.

It was not easy for her to go in, and she originally planned to leave directly, but as soon as the other party talked about Jiangnan and King Qin, Xiao Mingxue's footsteps stopped

The Empress Dowager's decree during the day really broke her sky, and she was really desperate at that moment.

The palace used to protect her mother and concubine to death, and that guy didn't come to visit her, she can understand, after all, something big happened in Jiangnan at that time, but now. Something is about to happen to him, will he come?

At this time, hearing the palace maid say that it was the queen mother's decree, and there was hope for reversal, the originally desperate heart rose a trace of temperature.

But as the other party said, whether or not you can pick her up in person depends on your status in the other party's heart.

When she heard this, Xiao Mingxue smiled bitterly.

She has any status in the other party's heart?

It's just that I met and had a marriage contract, and if I want to say that I really have a high position in people's hearts, I'm afraid it's my identity as a princess.

In fact, when the mother concubine learned that she was going to marry a new science and technology scholar, she was happy for herself, she thought that such a man was relatively weak in the face of the royal family, and she could live well after she passed.

In fact, I don't expect that scholar to have much ability, even if he has been a petty official in Jiangnan, he has long wanted to go outside to see, Jiangnan water town, picturesque scenery, I have heard it many times, and I have longed for it many times, but now it seems that I am afraid that I really have no chance.

A few years ago, when she heard that Chen Qing was crowned King of Qin, she was not happy, but worried, because the more capable that scholar is, the less she will take a fancy to her identity as a princess. Except for this status of the princess, there is nothing to do.

In terms of beauty, the beautiful concubine given to Chen Qing by his father is said to be flattering, and in terms of ability, it is said that Chen Qing married a girl named Chen Ying, who is a senior disciple of Mu Hongqing, a scholar and political master, and is now the dean of Jiangnan College, and his ability must be the top of the first class.

What do you have?

Is it worth his personal adventure in the capital?

He. Will it come? ——

"Eh, have you heard?" In some big inns, some rich boys have begun to spread the news everywhere.

"The palace has really passed the decree, I really want to marry King Qin's predestined concubine to a southern barbarian!"

"Really?" One of the gorgeously dressed young men frowned and said, "I have been in the Jin Dynasty for twenty years, I have been tough on the outside world, and I have never been kind, what happened this time?" Marry the Southern Barbarians? Those in the Northern Wilderness who are learning from our Central Plains are like, and those natives in the Southern Barbarians are said to have the habit of eating people, so can they marry the princess? ”

"That's it, forget about the princess, and marry the wife of the reservation family, this is not only a slap in the face of Jiangnan, but also a slap in the face of the royal family, right?"

"Your Majesty is not the Majesty you used to be." Someone lowered his voice and said: "I heard the old man say that since the death of Song Guogong, His Majesty's behavior has become more and more strange, and many people say that there are demons and disorderly government. ”

"Shhh

"What's the matter?" One of the family members with a flushed face said: "What the hell does the capital look like now?" What are those spooky temples doing in the dark? Ordinary people don't know, can you still not know? ”

When a group of people mentioned this topic, their faces became extremely ugly.

The ghost temple quietly came to the blood sacrifice of the boys and girls who came to live in the field, and many people in the family knew that the royal family was crazy!

This kind of thing of human sacrifice, the previous dynasty was made into such a look by the demon cholera and didn't dare to do it, the new dynasty has only been open for 20 years, and this kind of thing has happened, how can it make people not chill?

"Is your family also trying to retreat?" One of the sons looked at the drinker.

"Don't you have one?" The drunken son of the family sneered: "Which family has no way out? The Chen family in the South China Sea has already started to recruit secretly, which of you has no private contact? ”

Everyone was silent for a while, the situation in the capital was weird, and the Chen family had spread the inheritance of the South China Sea Dragon Palace, which was a great temptation for the warlock family, and even many bloodline families were moved.

"This is also a good thing, the inheritance of the South China Sea"

"What's the matter with me?" The drunken children of the family directly sneered and interrupted: "Do you think that after you get over there, such a good thing will be our turn?" ”

Everyone: "."

"Heh" Shizi got up, took another sip of wine before sneering: "Back then, Song Guogong came out and established the Yin and Yang Academy, which allowed these children with poor talent to have at least the opportunity to learn again, but once they get to the South China Sea, do you think there will be a second Song Guogong to do all this?" ”

Everyone was speechless for a while, the establishment of the Yin-Yang Academy can allow those children of the low-level warlock family who are not very talented to have a chance to learn and get resources, although they still can't compare with the top children, but at least there is a way forward.

But once they go to the South China Sea, when the resources each family gets are limited, if there is no public investment college like Yin-Yang College, these relatively mediocre children will not be able to see any light.

"I've already applied to go to Jiangnan College." The drunken disciple said angrily: "I originally had a good chance, my arithmetic talent is not bad at home, after this year's bad supplement, I ask myself that I will definitely be able to be admitted, but what did the court do?" What did that crazy royal do? ”

"I have such a brain to insult Jiangnan, I got a reply three days ago, Jiangnan Academy temporarily suspended recruiting my children in the capital!"

"Did you get the message too?" Another child also stood up with a wry smile: "Me too, I originally wanted to see Jiangnan in person, even if I can't go to the South China Sea, at least there is a relatively guaranteed place, but I didn't expect the royal family to come to such a hand, it is really the way to cut off our children!" ”

"But I just heard. The people of Jiangnan are already on the way! ”

At this moment, the scholar who was talking about it just now seemed to wake up, and his eyes lit up and he fell to the table: "Brother Du is true?" ”

The Du family already has three students in Jiangnan, and Jiangnan is the most well-informed on weekdays.

"Well, I heard from my cousin in a letter, it is said" The young man surnamed Du lowered his voice: "Chen Qing. Personally here!! ”
