"Xiangzhi, you are very fast, what I ordered at noon, you will inquire clearly in the evening, you should be rewarded!" After listening to Cai Ying's life experience, Zhao Fujin looked at Xiangzhi with great appreciation: "It's just that the relationship between him and the Meng family, why didn't you say it, but you can't find it?" ”

"Emperor, the slave doesn't dare to be your reward. A large part of what I just told you was told to the slave by Cai Wulangjun's personal servant. Xiangzhi said with some shame: "I left the palace at noon, so I went to find a cousin who was a servant in the Cai family, borrowed his time to drink tea with the teahouse, and unfortunately met Cai Wulangjun's little servant Zhenghai, that Zhenghai saw his cousin is very familiar, saying that he has received his kindness in the past, if he has anything to help, please don't see your cousin." ”

Cai Ying's little house?

Zhao Fujin's heart moved, stopped the chopsticks in his hand, and looked at the incense branch.

Xiangzhi continued: "Naturally, my cousin couldn't talk about me looking for him in front of him, so he just shirked it vigorously, but when Na Zhenghai turned his head, he saw me, and said that it was very familiar, and then patted his head and said, isn't this the female envoy in the Kangfu Emperor's Pavilion?" ”

"He said: 'Alas, what a coincidence, my family Gorou Jun saw the emperor in the palace, and he didn't think about it a little, for he was afraid that his humble background would discredit the emperor.' ”

As soon as the slave maid heard it, she knew that she was looking for her cousin to inquire about the Cai family, and Cai Wulangjun knew about it and sent Zhenghai to ask me.

was about to say goodbye, but Na Zhenghai said it to himself, starting from Liu Xiang when he was the first emperor, and ending with Tao Niang who was taken to the jewelry shop in Beijing.

No matter how big or small, it's clear. ”

"Otherwise, the slave and maid would not have found out all these things in one moment." Xiangzhi lowered his voice: "Zhenghai also said that his family Langjun booked the peony pavilion on the top floor of Mingxing Building, and often ate alone, which was quite lonely and pitiful. ”

Is this an invitation?

Zhao Fujin's heart moved, and he also wanted to know more about this partner who might want to cooperate in the future, so he turned his head to look at Qiong Ye: "I may leave the palace?" ”

"Emperor, Xiangzhi rarely leaves the palace, the only time I traveled on your orders, I met Cai Wulangjun's personal servant, this matter is really too much of a coincidence." Qiong Ye did not answer directly, and persuaded tactfully: "Your status is noble, and the matter of marriage with the Cai family has not yet been put on the agenda of the official family, if you go to the appointment easily, I am afraid it is not appropriate." ”

Xiangzhi is a second-class maid in Qionghua Pavilion, and she rarely goes out, so it stands to reason that people from the Cai family will not know her, but Zhenghai recognized her at a glance, and also knew her purpose, which is very subtle.

This shows that the people of the Cai family have been staring at Qionghua Pavilion.

"It's just because it's too much of a coincidence that I'm going to go to the appointment." Zhao Fujin picked up the chopsticks again and looked at the warm food on the table: "Many things have happened in the palace in the past few days, all of which have happened since I discussed marriage with Cai Ying, I want to go and see what kind of Longtan tiger's den this Cai family is." ”

"The slave agrees with the emperor's idea, as the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger." Xiangzhi said with great appreciation.

"You agree, why do you agree!" Qiong Ye glared at Xiangzhi: "The emperor's status is precious, how can she stand under the dangerous wall?" I think you have bad intentions and want to lure the emperor out of the door for another purpose, right? ”

"Ah, Sister Qiongye, why do you think so?" Xiangzhi said very aggrievedly: "The purpose of Cai Wulangjun sending Zhenghai to tell me these old things must be to surrender to the emperor, if he dares to surrender, our emperor will dare to accept it!" ”

"You still say!" Qiong Ye was afraid that Zhao Fujin would really leave the palace after hearing Xiangzhi's words, so he hurriedly persuaded: "Cai Wulangjun can learn that we are inquiring about his family, it must be because Xiangzhi is not cautious and someone has discovered the clues......"

"Qiong Ye, don't worry, Cai Yan asked me out, I shouldn't have any bad intentions." Zhao Fujin interrupted Qiong Ye's words and put down his chopsticks: "I asked Xiangzhi to check the relationship between the Cai family and the Meng family, and Cai Ying only talked about the Cai family's past, but didn't say a word about the Meng family. ”

"But~~" Qiong Ye still wanted to stop it, but she thought that Zhao Fujin's food these days was obviously not fragrant, and in the past, she would ask the official family for permission every once in a while to go out of the palace to taste the food.

This time, it's just that Cai Wulangjun has been invited, and it is no different from the past, so it's a big deal to find more officials to ask for some forbidden troops to protect them.

"It's an eventful time, and if the emperor wants to go out, she needs to bring more guards." Qiong Ye said: "In the past, the emperor dressed up as a man when she traveled, and the slave maid went to prepare. ”

……

Mingxing Building is the largest restaurant in Tokyo, and its owner's surname is Shen Mingyue, who is the concubine of the Haofu family in Jiangnan.

When Shen Yue's father died, he was only divided into a small part of the family property as a concubine.

He and his mother broke away from the Shen family in Jiangnan and went all the way to the north, and it took half a month to turn that small part of the family property into more than a hundred times the asset.

After entering the capital, he took advantage of his mother's relationship with the third prince Zhao Kai's foreign family 800 miles away, climbed up to Wang Guifei, and then gave Zhao Kai a two-cent bonus and placed a restaurant in the most prosperous area of Beijing.

This restaurant covers an area of 100 acres, divided into five floors, the peony pavilion is on the fourth floor, belongs to the VIP area, and is separated by stairs to go upstairs.

Zhao Fujin wore a moon-white robe, her hair was tied on the top of her head with a jade crown, and above the jade crown was a wide hat with black gauze, which hung down to the corner of the robe, covering her whole person tightly.

When she entered the Mingxing Building, she was led up the VIP ladder, and on each floor, two guards stopped to guard.

Until she reached the Peony Pavilion on the fourth floor, before she could raise her feet and go inside, four guards went in to search first, and after the search, Qiong Yu and Qiong Ye walked in around Zhao Fujin.

Cai Yan bowed by the door, and it was not until Zhao Fujin entered the room that he turned around and walked in.

He only brought a small servant, and when the guards entered the room to search, he retreated to the door by himself, and when Cai Yan entered the room to meet Zhao Fujin, the little servant turned around and entered the next room.

Inside is the kitchen dedicated to cooking for the Peony Pavilion, and the door has long been guarded by the guards.

"Cai Ying, Cai Yunliang see Emperor Kangfu!" After closing the door, Cai Yan crossed his hand and saluted and said: "I heard that the emperor likes fragrant tea very much, and the subordinates have brought some self-conscious and mellow ones, so do you plan to order it and taste it with the emperor?" ”

"Cai Wulang is very polite." Under Qiongyu's service, Zhao Fujin took the hat on the jade crown, turned around and sat by the tea table behind the screen.

Cai Yan wore a wide-sleeved bamboo blue robe, a simple hairband of the same color, and his demeanor was soft and elegant, which was very pleasing to the eye.

He sat upright next to the tea table behind the screen, holding his sleeve in one hand and holding the pot in the other.

"Cai Langjun asked me to come, it won't be just for a cup of tea, right?" Zhao Fujin took the tea handed over by Qiong Ye and asked straight to the point: "Qiong Zhi told me, you and the little lady of the Meng family grew up together, why don't you conclude a good relationship between the two surnames?" ”
