A general of the Thousand Ox Guard, riding on a pure white tall horse, with forty or fifty armored, fully armed Thousand Niu Guards, surrounded by a four-wheeled luxury carriage, slowly arrived.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Chitose, Chitose, Chitose!"

“……”

Along the way, when people saw the prince of the prison country, they all stood aside, and some simply knelt on the ground and gave the monarch a salute to Luan.

Zou Baichuan's heart was shocked.

I didn't expect that I would encounter the prince Luan at the gate of the outer city of Chang'an.

Looking at this posture, it is likely that the prince and the ladies of the East Palace went to the suburbs.

After all, Zou Baichuan is an old Jianghu with rich social experience.

He was right.

In this four-wheeled luxury car, not only the prince rides, but also the queen mother and Concubine Lan, as well as their respective female officials.

On both sides of the door, there were two little eunuchs.

Before the Qingming Festival, the earth was full of spring, and the queen mother pestered the prince to want to go out in the suburbs.

"Swallow, there are many royal gardens in Chang'an City, such as Qujiang Pond, Wangchun Pavilion, etc., isn't this enough for your spring outing?"

Yuan Zhi is not very happy to go out of the city to play, and just defending this piece is enough to mobilize the people.

"No, husband, this palace just wants to go to the suburban hunting grounds to play, and I want you to accompany me, okay?"

Cao Feiyan hugged his neck, and her fragrant lips were coquettish against the roots of his ears.

"Okay, I promise you, okay!"

Yuan Zhi knows that the queen mother is very willful, if you don't agree, she will pester you endlessly.

Thinking that this was not a matter of principle, I heartily agreed.

Cao Feiyan happily held Yuan Zhi's face and kissed and gnawed.

When it was time to set off the next day, Yuan Zhi took Concubine Lan with him.

First, it was to hide people's eyes, and secondly, he also wanted Concubine Lan to go out for a walk.

Almost half a year has passed, and Concubine Lan's physical condition has improved greatly, and she can walk slowly on the ground.

Going to the royal hunting grounds, you can regulate her emotions, which is necessary for her health.

Concubine Lan can't walk much, she can rest on the luan, and the hunting ground itself also has a palace.

It is said that when the prince's chariot slowly passed in front of Zou Baichuan, he lowered his head very cautiously and did not dare to look up.

Although he was majestic in the Western Regions, many Turkic and local officials nodded at him.

But when he arrived in Chang'an, Kyoto, the land of the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger, he was just a lowly subordinate, and many people could decide his life and death with a single sentence.

Besides, this time he was disguised and escorted back more than 300 taels of gold and a batch of jewelry and jade, so it was best not to run into acquaintances.

But whatever you're afraid of comes.

What Zou Baichuan never expected was that in addition to the crown prince, there were also the queen mother and Concubine Lan in the chariot.

Concubine Lan wrapped her arms around the waist of the crown prince, and buried her head deep in his arms, feeling the warmth of a long-lost man.

Yuan Zhi, with a feeling of indebtedness and pity, gently wrapped his arms around her thin body, showing his care with practical actions.

But the queen, who is close at hand, is waxed now, and she seems to have become a superfluous light bulb.

Cao Feilan went on an outing together, although the queen was slightly unhappy, but she did not object.

After all, she is an imperial queen, and she goes out alone with the crown prince, what is this called?

However, the intimate actions of the prince and his family in person made her somewhat jealous and embarrassed.

She didn't want to see the two people in the carriage show affection, so she could only lift the corner of the curtain and look outside the car.

It's called a mistake.

At a glance, she saw Zou Baichuan standing on the side of the road, disguised and disguised.

Zou Baichuan is an old man in the Cao Mansion, and he has been working as an errand boy in the Staff Mansion for more than 20 years, serving the masters of the Cao family, and his status is second only to the chief staff Jia Gongwang.

Cao Feiyan used to be the eldest lady of Caofu, and more than ten years ago, Zou Baichuan also served as a tutor in Caofu for a year, teaching ethics and poetry to the young masters and ladies of Caofu.

There is also a teacher-student friendship between him and Cao Feiyan.

"Hi... Is it Mr. Zou Baichuan Zou? Why are you standing outside the city, or dressed like this? ”

A coquettish cry made Zou Baichuan tremble like thunder, and secretly complained in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the queen mother was also in the prince's chariot.

And what's even worse is that she opened the curtain to look at the scenery and recognized him at a glance.

Since he was recognized by the queen's mother, he had already broken the form of the hide, and it would be disrespectful to stand aside without saying a word with his head down.

When Zou Baichuan raised his head, his face was already full of smiles.

I saw him hurriedly walk a few steps to the chariot window, bent down deeply, and said with a smiling face: "Queen Mother, little Zou Baichuan greets you!" ”

The queen mother simply pulled the window, looked up and said with a smile:

"I haven't seen Mr. for seven or eight years, and this palace thought it was a mistake, but I didn't expect it to be Mr. You, what? Did you just return to Beijing on a business trip? ”

Out of respect for the queen's mother, the chariot and the team stopped, but Zou Baichuan was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his face.

Mother, I'm a high-level member of the secret guard, if the prince knows, wouldn't he be in trouble?

But in front of him is the queen's mother, and he has to deal with it.

Zou Baichuan hurriedly laughed, "Queen Niang, I have been running around in other places all these years, I just arrived in Beijing today, I didn't expect Niangniang to be in Luanjia, disturbing your Yaxing, please forgive me." ”

"It's okay, in that case... Then you should go back to Caofu quickly, you have worked hard all the way. ”

With the noble status of the queen's mother, it is absolutely rare to care about a subordinate like this.

There is a way to be a teacher for one day and a father for life.

Cao Feiyan is a knowledgeable person and respects Zou Baichuan very much.

"The little one thanked the mother and retired first." Zou Baichuan breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and after he bent over, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Slow Mr. Zou, Lone is a little curious, I want to talk to you more."

I saw that the prince had stepped down from the chariot and stared at him with burning eyes.

Hehe, hey, it's quite cunning, and he came back to Beijing in disguise.

How noble are you Dao Prince, how can you be interested in a Cao Mansion staff member casually?

Talk a little longer, what to talk about?

This is also to blame Zou Baichuan for his bad luck, unlucky to go to his grandmother's house, and he will stuff his teeth when he drinks water.

Zou Baichuan, a staff member of Caofu, was suspected of smuggling ordnance in the Western Regions, killing the generals of the border army of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, hiring Turkic warriors to enter the territory for more than 100 miles, and massacring dozens of villagers in the Wu family's compound.

These accusations are one of the contents of the secret report that Guo Wei has just passed over from Dunhuang.

It only arrived yesterday.

After the prince read it, he immediately asked the secret guard to go down to investigate thoroughly, and first secretly searched for the suspect Zou Baichuan.

Unexpectedly, he was bumped into by himself at the checkpoint in the outer city.

It's really hard to find a place to step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.

Zou Baichuan faintly felt a little uneasy, but he pretended to be calm, pretended to be respectful, and bent over to Yuan Zhizuo and said:

"The grass people ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Jin An, if you can be loyal to Your Highness, it is a small honor, please ask Your Highness to ask, the little one knows everything, and the words are endless."

When the prince heard this, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he faintly pulled out a trace of cold arc.
