9 CHAPTER IX

Cui Jiao stepped forward to tie the colored wisps to his sachet, and then stepped aside, looking at him with a smile.

Fu Yan looked at her, froze for a while, and left expressionlessly in an instant.

Cui Jiaomu sent him into the Lin De Palace, only to stop laughing, her mouth was stiff, and she didn't get a good word from him, she snorted, it's really tiring to be an errand for him, there is no reward for doing good deeds, and you have to be punished for doing something wrong.

I don't know how to make him have a good face, if this continues, there will be very few years for my brother to enter the official school.

She was a little annoyed, she knew that when he said that there was a reward and asked her what she wanted, she shouldn't have kissed him, and wasted the opportunity, but if she really asked him to allow her brother to enter the official school, would he agree? That Guo Shoushan still lives in the temple, Guo Shoushan can't enter the official school, so how can she let her brother in.

Cui Jiao gritted her teeth, it's okay, at least for now she is the only woman who can get close to the prince, as long as she seizes the opportunity, she will definitely make the prince moved, no matter how bad it is, if she can help the prince reverse the quirk of not being able to touch women, even if the prince can't get through here, there are also the queen and the eldest princess, they are all looking forward to the East Palace can enter the heroine, if she can succeed, just let the elder brother enter the official school, the queen and the eldest princess should allow it in the face of her being a great hero.

She asked the merchant to send the letter, I don't know if my brother has received it.

Cui Jiao patted her face, she couldn't think about it anymore.

Looking in front of the palace gate again, there were already people coming one after another, and she saw the big horse family among them, they had a smile on their faces, and they greeted each other with other ministers' families, and the big horse was even more proud, and the eldest princess had no influence on him.

Cui Jiao quietly retreated to Penglai Palace, at this time it was already dawn, the eldest princess's palace maid came to invite her over, as soon as she entered the door, she saw the eldest princess sitting on the bed with red eyes, she saw that she was crying, she comforted a few words, and the eldest princess got out of bed and was dressed up by the palace maid.

After the eldest princess freshened up, the palace maids moved to the dining bed and put all the main morning food used by the eldest princess, and the eldest princess asked her while eating, "Have you gone to send colorful wisps to San Lang?" ”

Cui Jiao hummed and wrung her handkerchief, maybe she could start with the princess.

The eldest princess looked at her, thought of the portraits of those noble girls, and said, "You are so considerate, even if there is a newcomer in the East Palace in the future, San Lang will not forget you." ”

But when the new man laughs, he hears the old man cry (1).

Cui Jiao wants to laugh a little, if she really ties this body to the prince, she will worry that she will fall out of favor, Qi Dafei is not a coincidence, she is self-aware, she serves the prince in exchange for survival, one day she does not need the prince's protection, she and her brother can live well, and favor has become the existence that binds her.

The prince likes the new and hates the old, so that she can get out of the East Palace safely.

She is only sixteen years old, she asked the female history, the female official can leave the palace and settle down after the age of twenty-five, if Yan Ci is sick and bedridden at home, she can also be extra gracious and allowed to go out early, the identity of the female official is simply too convenient, unless she is crazy, she wants to serve the grinding prince for a lifetime.

Cui Jiao didn't refute her, but said wistfully, "Ah Cha doesn't know, in previous years, I spent the Chinese Valentine's Day at home, and this colorful wisp was made up by Ah Niang, and I and my brother wore it on our bodies, saying that it would keep me safe, and now that my grandmother has passed away, I have been in Chang'an for two months, and I don't know if my brother is okay." ”

The eldest princess heard her say that she was at home for the first time, and only then did she know that she had a brother, so she said, "If you enter the East Palace, it will be difficult to go back to Qinghe, if you miss your brother, I will go and talk to San Lang for you, and ask him to send someone to bring your brother to visit, but you miss your brother." ”

Cui Jiao hurriedly said, "I understand Ah Cha's kindness, my brother may be out of the scientific examination next year, and I can't delay him." ”

The eldest princess felt a little regretful, "It turned out that she was still a scholar, and the state capital test in this place was really important, if you were in Chang'an, it would be enough, Qinghe was far away, and it would be gone in two or three months." ”

She asked Cui Jiao, "How is your brother reading?" ”

Cui Jiao is very proud, "My brother studied very hard, Aya said when he was alive that if my brother was born in Zhongming Dingshi's house, he would definitely not worry about going to school, but it's a pity that my family is only a side branch of the Cui family, and I can't find a good master for my brother." ”

The eldest princess said, "It's not very easy to want a good master, when he passes the county exam, naturally some old scholars recognize him as a student, you don't have to worry about this, if you miss him, you write a letter when you go back, and I will order someone to send it to Qinghe, so I won't talk to San Lang." ”

The eldest princess didn't mention the official school in Chang'an, Cui Jiao couldn't talk about it anymore, and wanted to write another letter, and the princess would send someone to deliver it, and then she could inquire about her brother's life in Cui's family.

The eldest princess spoke well, and after the morning meal, she took her to the study to write a letter, she stuffed the colorful wisps into the letter, and the eldest princess ordered the palace maid to hand over the letter to the letter and send it back to Qinghe.

Cui Jiao accompanied the eldest princess to play the swing in the courtyard, the swing flew high, and occasionally you could see the Lin De Palace, the eldest princess was in a better mood and became sad again, she pulled Cui Jiao to complain, or the old words she said were repeated several times, Cui Jiao also understood her, but she was annoyed by it, so she said, "Ah Cha is sad for the big horse, and the big horse may not be sad for Ah Cha." ”

Princess Celestia was stunned.

Cui Jiao said, "I saw the big horse in Xuanwumen this morning, and I looked very complacent. ”

The eldest princess hated it at the moment, and she couldn't sit down on the swing, so she jumped down and said, "He dares to be so stinging, he is looking for teeth all over the ground without fighting, and it is difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!" ”

Cui Jiao said, "Everyone outside knows that Ah Cha is sick, and now that you are gone, aren't you a talker?" ”

The eldest princess reluctantly gave up, thought about it, and felt that she couldn't wait in Penglai Palace.

It was easy to get to the evening, the eldest princess asked Cui Jiao to go to the Taiye Pool with her, Cui Jiao couldn't persuade her, and finally the two changed into palace maid clothes and slipped away while it was dark.

The lights on the side of the Taiye pool are bright, there are all kinds of lanterns floating in the pool, the palace concubines gather together in twos and threes, the emperor and the queen stand on the begging tower, look down at them holding colorful threads to the moon and threading needles, a happy scene.

The five princesses and Wang Guifei sat together, Wang Guifei wanted to win the skill, and she was the first to thread the needle, the fifth princess was bored, and after a while her palace maid came over, whispered to her, and rejoiced, while the people around her were threading needles, she sneaked out of the Taiye Pool, and ran towards the garden near the Lin De Palace.

The eldest princess and Cui Jiao looked upstairs, but saw that the emperor and the queen had not moved, and the eldest princess wanted to follow, but Cui Jiao asked her to wait, so she had to press it.

Wang Guifei was the first to be skillful, even if she was so anxious that her hand to thread the needle had to spark before this, she still maintained a noble and detached posture, the emperor and the empress went downstairs, and the emperor praised, "The concubine is really ingenious." ”

Wang Guifei blushed shamefully, "This is just what concubines usually do, Your Majesty praised it." ”

This embarrassment made the emperor's heart move, and he was about to say something emotional to her again, when the queen suddenly said, "There are hundreds of plays in the garden, let's go over and take a look." ”

extinguished the heat of the two in one fell swoop.

In front of everyone, the emperor couldn't say no, so he took all the concubines and concubines over together.

Cui Jiao and the eldest princess secretly followed, and outside the garden, the palace maid of the fifth princess was guarding the rockery, and saw so many people coming from a distance, and wanted to go in to ventilate and report the news, but was dragged away by a small yellow door covering her mouth.

Everyone walked around the rockery, and when they got to the middle of the road, they heard someone talking in the rockery.

"What are you doing with me? Why don't you kiss me and me with your orchid? ”

"It's really wronged, why don't you believe me?"

The voice was very low, but it could still be heard that it was the big horse and the fifth princess.

Wang Guifei wanted to step forward, but the queen raised her hand and pressed her shoulder, Wang Guifei was covered in cold sweat, when did Wu Niang get mixed up with the big horse! She wanted to ignore the call, but the queen poked the emperor with her arm, and the emperor looked back at them, his face as black as the bottom of a pot, and she didn't dare to move.

The two of them in the rockery didn't know the situation outside, and they were still talking.

"You scolded the eldest sister Yaksha, and you may not think so about me in your heart."

"How does your eldest sister compare to you? I married her because I was helpless, I and you are in love, she hurt me so much, this husband and wife relationship has come to an end. ”

The fifth princess snorted and laughed, "The relationship between husband and wife is over, the eldest sister wants to completely break off with you, why don't you just agree to such a good opportunity, don't treat me as a fool, you don't dare to reconcile with the eldest sister at all, you rely on the eldest sister to achieve the position of the young eunuch of the Shaofu." ”

The big colt sighed, "Why should I rely on her, she and you are sisters, if I have too much trouble with her, how can I have a future with you?" ”

The fifth princess was pampered at this time, "I don't care, you and her must be reconciled immediately, she is a princess, I am also a princess, what she can give you, I can still give it to you!" ”

Cui Jiao and the eldest princess hid in the palace maids, when the big horse said Yaksha, the eldest princess wanted to rush up to teach people, but Cui Jiao grabbed her sleeves before she gave up, and when the fifth princess said such arrogant words, she couldn't bear it anymore, tore off Cui Jiao's hand, and walked straight towards the rockery.

But when she was approaching the rockery, she was pulled back by the queen, and the queen pulled her tightly, and turned her head to look at Wang Guifei, who was already pale, "Guifei really taught a good daughter with ability." ”

The rockery was shocked for a moment, knowing that the queen and the princess were all there, and the emperor must also be there, wouldn't what the two of them just said be heard!

Immediately silenced.

The emperor was furious and said, "Don't let me get out yet, how many bad things do you want to say about the eldest lady inside!" ”

The two cowered and came out of the rockery, the big horse looked dejected, and the fifth princess lost the arrogance of Fang Cai, like a frosted eggplant.

The emperor has not reprimanded yet.

Wang Guifei suddenly cried, pinched the face of the fifth princess and scolded, "You stupid slave, how can you treat the eldest lady like this!" I might as well kill you! ”

She was reluctant to really attack the fifth princess, and when she pinched half of it and saw that her face was not red, she made a show of beating the fifth princess, and no one stopped her.

The emperor's face turned blue, and the queen looked at her coldly and was silent, as if she had seen through her.

You'll have to hit them twice to get them off.

Wang Guifei was ruthless and slapped the fifth princess on the back twice, and the fifth princess finally knew that it hurt and cried.

"How old are you, what do you know, I think someone deliberately provoked you and your aunt!"

Wang Guifei hurriedly pointed to the dazed big horse, "You are usually well-behaved, he must have brought you badly!" ”

The fifth princess was also frightened and nodded along with her words.

Wang Guifei hugged her and cried, "My poor son ......"

She turned her head to look at the emperor again, crying pear blossoms with rain, "Your Majesty, Wu Niang is still just a child, the eldest horse can carry the eldest lady on his back and hook up with the restaurant Hu, how can he not have those dirty and obscene methods!" Wu Niang is his way. ”

Cui Jiao looked at it from the back and admired, the concubine is really capable, so suddenly, the anger on the emperor's face seems to have disappeared, and the fifth princess can easily get out of trouble.

The queen didn't have the heart to watch her tricks, so she only said to the emperor, "Please give Huinu an explanation, don't chill her heart." ”

Huinu is the milk name of the eldest princess Fu Zhenwan, or the emperor himself.

The emperor saw the eldest princess bowing her head and crying silently, and couldn't help but feel distressed, and promised the queen, "Don't worry, the queen, I will never let the eldest lady suffer this grievance in vain." ”

The queen took the eldest princess to leave first, and no longer looked at this messy place.

Cui Jiao wanted to follow, but happened to see the prince coming, and ran into him head-on, it was too late to hide, his eyes looked at the palace maid's dress she was wearing, and frowned, Cui Jiao had to salute him, and whispered, "It's not the concubine who is coming, the eldest princess has to pull the concubine ......."

Fu Yan had no time to talk to her, and with a wave of her hand, she ran to chase the queen.

Fu Yan watched her run away and turned back to the emperor's side.

When the emperor saw him coming, he first ordered someone to escort the big horse down, scattered the concubines and returned to the Zichen Palace, and the prince went with him.

In the hall, the emperor was crooked on the couch of the pot door, and ordered the waiter to move the rhino tooth mat for Fu Yan to sit down, and then gritted his teeth and said, "This son dares to humiliate the eldest mother, he should really be killed!" ”

Fu Yan was silent for a moment and said, "Your Majesty has seen his true face, and please order that Sister and Zheng Xiaorao reconcile." ”

The emperor said, "The queen wants me to give an explanation, and he wants to be reconciled, how do you think this thief should be dealt with?" ”

Fu Yan said, "According to the law of the Great Liang, the traitors will be imprisoned for one and a half years (2). ”

Although the emperor did not like him because of Fu Yan's mother, he was still the crown prince, and he adhered to the rules of his ancestors, and at the beginning of his tenth year, he was allowed to be heard by the court (3), and to this day, the decrees are well memorized in his mind, and his handling of things is becoming more and more ruthless.

The emperor hesitated, "Wu Niang is at fault, but she is also confused by him, and it can't be regarded as fornication with him." ”

Fu Yan lowered his eyes and was silent.

The emperor patted his leg, "Zheng Xiaorao said to me last time, your female official who is good at polo framed him with his eldest mother, and that female official has entangled with him many times, since according to the law, let that female official also be imprisoned." ”

Fu Yan's five fingers clenched, "Your Majesty wants to wronged innocent people in order to protect Wu Niang?" ”

The emperor was not happy, "She is innocent, I will find out when I call and ask." ”

He didn't wait for Fu Yan to speak, and quickly ordered the chamberlain to go to Penglai Hall to spread the word.

"She is acting according to her orders, and whatever Your Majesty wants to ask, she just asks," Fu Yan said.

The chamberlain stopped in front of the door and looked at the emperor hesitantly, and the emperor suddenly said, "What are you looking at me!" My words have fallen on deaf ears? ”

The chamberlain shrank his head in fright, and hurriedly went to Penglai Hall to invite someone.

In the Penglai Palace, the queen comforted the eldest princess, Cui Jiao accompanied her, seeing their mother and daughter relying on, with envy in her eyes, she would not have the opportunity to rely on A-Niang again, but she didn't feel that her eyes were sour, and there were tears, and the emperor's chamberlain came over and said that the emperor was going to call her for questioning.

The three of them were immediately alert, lest the emperor change his mind again, the queen first asked the chamberlain, what the emperor wanted to ask, the chamberlain did not dare to offend the queen, but did not dare to spread the forbidden Chinese language (4), so he had to say, "Seeing that His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are going to quarrel......"

The queen immediately decided, "I'll take Cui Jiao over." ”

With the queen there, Cui Jiao relaxed a little, followed her to the Zichen Palace, and listened to the emperor's anger when she arrived at the palace gate.

"I'm not old and confused, I can't be persuaded by the current affairs, so you will order my ministers to influence me, and now I want to interrogate a female official, and you will be pushed and blocked, Lingnan Road is a great victory, you are now majestic, should I abdicate and make way for Xian?"

There was silence in the hall, and then Fu Yan said calmly, "I don't mean that." ”

The Emperor sat up, pointed his finger at himself, and suppressed his anger and whispered, "I am the hand." ”

Then he pointed to Fu Yan, "You're just a fatwa." ”⑤

The emperor's suspicion is really serious.

Cui Jiao gloated and thought that only the emperor, the monarch, could make Fu Yan deflated.

She was not allowed to listen any more, and the queen had pushed open the door of the palace and entered.

When he stepped into the door, Cui Jiao saw Fu Yan sitting sideways on the seat, and the emperor's finger was still pointing at him.

Fu Yan's back was straight, her head hung slightly, and her face was numb and pale that Cui Jiao had never seen.
