5 Chapter 5

"Oh? Did he really say that? ”

In the small courtyard in the southwest corner of the Li Mansion, the houses are still dilapidated, but the furnishings are better than before.

Su Huaijing leaned on the couch to read the chess game, and there was an endgame next to him, after listening to the wind report, the fingers who turned the page paused, and got up with interest: "You heard it with your own ears?" ”

Xingfeng stood at the bottom, and his eyelids jumped uncontrollably when he heard the words.

The master would not ask twice in a word, and such a question could only show that he was interested.

The last one that interested him......

The corpse should have just been buried in Shu.

Xingfeng said: "What my subordinates have heard with their own ears is true. ”

Su Huaijing hooked his lips, the look in his eyes was unknown, he didn't make a sound for a long time, Xingfeng didn't know what his brain was making up, knelt down and asked for guilt: "My subordinates should die, there are other people's eyeliner around the master who didn't notice it, please punish the master." ”

Su Huaijing's thoughts were disturbed, and when he saw this, he raised his hand to let him get up: "From last night to now, after this night, can you find out any suspicious people?" ”

Hearing this, Xingfeng looked worried, and said honestly: "This is exactly what is suspicious, what the little prince said is conclusive, but his subordinates have not found any strange people in these days." ”

"I didn't find out." Su Huaijing put the chess game and dropped a piece on the endgame, "He was a liar." ”

"But what he said doesn't seem to be a lie." Xingfeng frowned.

Su Huaijing raised his hand to interrupt him, stared at the chessboard, and thought for a moment.

Suddenly, he held black and white with his left and right hands, alternately dropped a few moves on the chessboard, solved the endgame, and smiled slightly: "There are people outside the person, maybe he has other means, it doesn't matter." ”

Xingfeng also wanted to say that this little prince had to be guarded against, but Su Huaijing skipped this topic and asked, "Is Liuyun back?" ”

Xingfeng condensed: "Yesterday I received a carrier pigeon, saying that the problem of Shu has been solved, and it is rushing to the capital, and it will arrive in less than two days." ”

"Hmm." Su Huaijing nodded, "After Liuyun comes back, let him go to check on the matter of the embroidered guard, don't show up for the time being." ”

On the day that the Li family's father and daughter were drugged, the style was transferred away because they saw the embroidered clothes and guards, and Su Huaijing had to check.

"Yes." Ducts.

Su Huaijing got up and stretched his waist, the spring light outside the house was just right, and there were paper kites flying in the sky in the northeast corner of the small courtyard, and the girl's laughter could be faintly heard.

Su Huaijing asked casually, "What's going on over there in the medicine house?" ”

Xing Feng said: "A furnace of medicine has been refined according to the recipe given by the master. ”

Su Huaijing stared at the paper kite, and said casually, "Let Bixin send it to Miss Biao." ”

Xingfeng lowered his head and lowered his eyes, and when he heard the words 'Miss Table', a hidden killing intent crossed his eyes.

Su Huaijing saw it but didn't mention it, just waved his hand to let people step back and lean back on the couch.

This time, he didn't look at the chess game, so he took the book and flipped it up, and waved the chessboard with his sleeve.

This chess hand stuck him for three days, and he never found the most suitable way to break the game, but he had an idea just now.

"Liar......" Su Huaijing whispered, a smile of unknown meaning on the corner of his lips.

He was suddenly curious, if someone else asked, what witty words could the prince of Ning Xuan, who had just recovered from being stupid for many years, come out of that clever mouth?

He was a little ...... Expect.

-

Li Panyan is very happy these days, his father was promoted to the north, he has an official position, he is in a hurry to enter Beijing to report on his work, it is impossible to wait for the heavy carriage to sway slowly, it is to Li Changfu traveled lightly, and only brought a few sons with the crown to the capital in advance.

Li Panyan, as a daughter, was able to enter Beijing with her father because of her advice.

Cousin Su's beauty is too strong and almost bewitching, and since he was a child, Li Panyan knew that if he didn't hold it firmly in the palm of his hand, he would become a scourge in the future.

As early as Shudi, there were many sons of the merchant family who fell in love with him, and when the assassin Shi who was over fifty years old came to the house as a guest, he just glanced at it from afar, and even hinted that Li Changfu would send Su Huaijing to his house.

His father was a little hesitant at the time, but Li Panyan felt that since he was beautiful, since the Li family had raised him for so many years, he should be repaid, but he had countless concubines and concubines of Lord Shi, far away from the imperial capital, even if he sent a teenager over, what benefits could he get for the Li family?

She persuaded her father to wait, at that time Su Huaijing was only fifteen years old, although his face was beautiful but a little immature, how could he be as bewitching as a water lily that wants to bloom in the morning morning?

As it turned out, she was right.

Dayu is open to the people, and it is really common for the nobles in the capital to raise two male concubines in their homes, and even in the harem of the emperor of heaven, there is also a Yu Tao Pavilion, which has raised dozens of servants.

Li Panyan didn't want his father to send Su Huaijing into the palace reluctantly, it was too uncontrollable, but it was not difficult to give it to the dignitaries and dignitaries and seek a shelter.

Besides, Wu Kang's son was originally the destination she chose for herself, if it weren't for her father's small official position and unstable foundation, she would not have the idea of sending a cousin as a male concubine first, and then waiting for the opportunity to marry into Bofu as a concubine in the future.

There is a cousin in the back house, and a father in the previous dynasty, so it's not difficult to think about it, after all, my cousin has listened to her since she was a child.

It was precisely because of this that when she brought the plate of pastries to stay in Huaijing's room, she was not even half distracted.

Li Panyan raised her eyebrows very happily, the girl's thoughts were written on her face, and she looked forward to the future with an innocent look.

"Oh, I'm tired, you can put it, don't fall off." She held the kite string in her hand and handed it to the side, and immediately a maid took it.

Li Panyan sat on the stone table in the pavilion, the poured tea had been placed on it, the temperature was just right, Li Panyan drank half a cup, and his eyes swept across the courtyard.

The house I just bought has not been completely taken care of, and only this corner of the yard can be called a pleasant scenery.

She suddenly remembered a big mansion she had seen when she came to the capital with her father to visit relatives when she was very young.

Copying the verandah, the shadow wall and the rocks, there are koi swimming in the pond, floating and golden, summer lotus flowers are dotted among the green leaves, and even the maid sister is like a fairy.

Thinking of this, Li Panyan became more and more disgusted with his own small courtyard, and even the maids who were waiting on the side were picky.

"I haven't seen you, new here?" She asked.

Bi Xin bowed her head in reply, and respectfully continued the teacup she had put aside: "If you return to Miss, the slave was bought by the housekeeper in the tooth store the day before yesterday to serve Miss." ”

Li Panyan's eyes moved slightly, and an indescribable pride surged into his heart.

Their whole family came to the capital in a hurry, and the servants naturally didn't bring too much, besides, those girls who had been serving around since childhood, relying on her kindness, all regarded themselves as half of the masters of the Li Mansion, and there were no rules at all.

As soon as Li Panyan was happy, he felt that the cup of tea was more fragrant than before, and he tasted most of it slowly, and asked, "What's your name?" ”

Bixin quietly glanced at the teacup and said, "If you enter the Li Mansion, you are the young lady's person, and you will ask the young lady to give her a name." ”

Li Panyan smiled suddenly: "Then you will be called Xiao Tao." ”

Bi Xin also smiled: "Miss Xie gives the name." ”

Little peach, it's very good, the flavor medicine refined by the master is called peach blossom noodles, and in a sense, it can be regarded as complementing each other.

Peach blossom noodles are taken for seven days in a row, and the initial half-moon appearance will be better than one day, just like the peach blossoms on the branches in spring, so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off, but the flowers are impermanent to bloom, and when the flowering period passes, it will be particularly mad when it withers.

The sixteen-year-old girl is the most beautiful girl, and her mind is full of jealousy and calculation, and it is better to let her die directly than to give her inflated hope and then fall into the pain of endless despair.

Didn't she look at her master's face and press her head to get up with this crooked thought?

Now that the Li Mansion has offended the prince of Wu Kangbo, the appearance of the lady in the boudoir is becoming more and more amazing, but I don't know what choice Master Li Changfu Li, who only has a career in office, will make.

"I'm sleepy, help me go back to rest." Li Panyan commanded.

Bixin obediently picked up the girl Rouyi, and slowly walked along the garden path that was being renovated to the west chamber where the masters lived, with a trace of ruthless happiness in her heart.

-

Ningxuan Palace.

Recently, the weather was good, and Rong Tang was a little better after fainting, so he asked Shuangshou to move the soft couch to the courtyard, and directed the family to repair the house while basking in the sun.

If he wants Su Huaijing to live in, he should at least tidy up the small courtyard more appropriately, and he has made a lot of preparations.

On this day, Rong Tang inspected the four treasures of the study bought by Shuangfu in the courtyard, and there was a small maid outside the courtyard to report that the big girl in the prince's room Simo came.

Rong Tang was slightly stunned, came back to his senses, and listened to her say: "Young Master, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess invites you to go to the princess's mansion." ”

The eldest princess Duanyi is not of royal blood, but she is the most noble female elder of the Dayu royal family.

As early as sixty years ago, the third emperor before Emperor Renshou, that is, the grandfather of Emperor Renshou, went out on a tour one year and saw a white tiger with slippery fur that was quite fine.

As a result, somehow, he got lost, not only did he not chase the prey, but he was pounced on by the white tiger and almost became the ration of the beast, and Duanyi, who was eight years old at the time, miraculously appeared, and without saying a word, he pulled out a dagger and stabbed it directly into the eye of the big insect, saving the emperor from the tiger's mouth.

The emperor was grateful for Duanyi's life-saving grace, and admired the little girl's courage and sharpness, and after learning that her parents were both dead, she only hunted in a few nearby mountains and forests for a living, and directly adopted people as righteous daughters and raised them in the palace.

The family affection of the heavenly family is rare, Duanyi was also bullied by the prince and princess in the palace when he was a child, and only Emperor Mingzong relied on this sister quite a lot. Mingzong was only fourteen years old when he ascended the throne, Duan Yigang had a marriage affair with the family and son of the mighty general, but because he was worried that his younger brother would be bullied by the ministers in the court, he withdrew from the marriage on the grounds of filial piety to his father.

When Mingzong was twenty years old, he had gained a firm foothold in the court, the majesty of the Son of Heaven was untouchable, and the twenty-five-year-old Duanyi eldest princess turned around and married the champion of the department, and then went home to teach her husband and children.

It wasn't until Mingzong was thirty-five years old that the Son of Heaven suddenly collapsed in the dormitory, the first emperor ascended the throne, the court was turbulent, and the Empress Dowager Zhang went to the eldest princess's mansion overnight to talk with candles and nights, and then invited the female minister to go out of the mountain again to fight to protect the emperor.

It can be said that now that Dayu is prosperous, Princess Duanyi has made indelible contributions.

But since the new emperor ascended the throne, the eldest princess has lived in the inner house to live in peace, and in the previous two lives, Rong Tang has seen her no more than five times, let alone such an initiative to summon her.

He slowly got up and asked, "Do you know what's going on?" ”

Si Mo said in a low voice: "I heard that it is for the sake of your marriage. ”
