Chapter 21 Enter the palace to see the Queen Mother
When Li Yuanxiong and Li Hussar came to Liujia Lane, they attracted the attention of the people in the alley, and many of them looked at it curiously, wanting to come up, but they didn't dare to come up.
Liujia Lane is a civilian area, but it is rare to see such a son, Miss. Li Yuanxiong's brother and sister were watched, but they were not timid, Li Yuanxiong tidied up his clothes, and then stepped forward and knocked on the door, and said lightly: "Is Brother Zhang at home?"
Soon after, the door was opened, and Zhang Ning walked out from inside. Seeing Li Yuanxiong, Li Hussar's brother and sister said with a smile: "Yuanxiong, Hussar, is worthy of being Yuanba's brother and sister, but the truth is like that." When Yuanba is still there, he can often talk to you. Come on in. ”
After that, Zhang Ning invited the two of them in, then closed the door, and led the two to sit down in the lobby.
"There are no servants at home, so wait a minute, and I'll make tea. Zhang Ning said to make tea, and soon after, a plate was served, and there were three tea cups on the plate.
Zhang Ning put the teacup in front of the two brothers and sisters, left a cup for himself, and then sat down and asked calmly: "Since Yuanba left, I have no contact with the Ningguo Mansion, I don't know what happened to the two of you visiting today?"
Li Yuanxiong, Li Hussar's brother and sister were born in a noble family, and of course they will taste tea. And the tea I usually drink is a precious tea.
They are not used to drinking tea outside, but since they come to visit and the host makes tea, it is natural to give you face. The two of them took a sip.
The two brothers and sisters were all pale, and Li Hussar blurted out: "This is the three immortal tea of Luming Mountain overseas." Speaking of this, Li Huqi said regretfully: "It's a pity that the water used to make tea is well water, and such a good tea should be soaked in mountain spring water." ”
After finishing speaking, Li Huqi couldn't help but take a few sips.
This tea is a good tea, Luming Mountain produces three and a half catties of three immortal tea every year, and it will be one catty to the entire Qi country, and it will be distributed to the Ningguo Mansion, then hehe.
Li Huqi has drunk two or three times in his life for so many years, and he is simply greedy.
Li Yuanxiong was a little speechless, sister, the appearance of your dirt bun is simply embarrassing and thrown home. Li Yuanxiong hurriedly said: "The little sister is still young, she is out of step by nature, and if she is offended, please don't be surprised by Brother Zhang." ”
"It doesn't matter. Zhang Ning waved his hand and said, Zhang Ning is much more easy-going and patient with this pair of brothers and sisters than with Chen Ding, the head of the Linjiang patrol house.
"The so-called sword is given to heroes, good tea also needs people who can taste tea to drink it to make sense, I am a layman, drinking such tea is tyrannical. Since the hussars like it, I still have a catty and three taels of these three immortal teas, so I will give you a catty. ”
Zhang Ning then said with a smile.
"This is absolutely unacceptable. Li Yuanxiong hurriedly stood up and excused himself. But Li Huqi blurted out: "One catty?" Hearing Li Yuanxiong's words, Li Huqi hurriedly said: "Second brother, now is not the time to talk about face, this is Sanxian tea, and we can't drink a few sips from childhood to adulthood." ”
Li Yuanxiong's face was flushed, this stupid girl.
"It's okay, I have a lot of friendship with Yuanba, so I don't have to be too polite. Zhang Ning smiled, and then Zhang Ning glanced at Li Hussar, still smiling between his eyebrows, and said: "Speaking of which, I hugged you when you were a child, but I didn't expect it to be so big in a blink of an eye." But your personality hasn't changed, and you were lively and active when you were a child. ”
"You hugged me when you were a child?" Li Huqi was a little surprised, who the hell is this.
The brother and sister have long let go of their suspicions about Zhang Ning, Sanxian tea is really not easy to get, and the person who can take out a pound at will is a person with hands and eyes.
The brother and sister knew that the eldest brother was leaving, and it was not a cowhide that they were blowing. I'm afraid that this person in front of me is probably a person who is hidden in the downtown area, and his background is definitely not simple.
And he hugged me when I was a kid.
Li Huqi was surprised, but also a little shy, although it was when I was a child, but I am a big girl now, don't say it to your face.
"Well, when you were five or six years old. But after that, I haven't seen you again. Zhang Ning said with a smile.
The brother and sister had too many questions in their minds, but now was not the time to ask. Li Yuanxiong remembered serious things, hurriedly took out the invitation card from his sleeve, came up and handed it to Zhang Ningdao: "Brother Zhang, the first day of December is my grandfather's 100th birthday, and I also invited Brother Zhang to come to my house for dinner." ”
Zhang Ning took the post and said with a smile: "Okay." ”
After the serious matter, Zhang Ning accompanied the brother and sister to say a word, and when the brother and sister finished drinking the tea, the brother and sister got up to say goodbye, and Zhang Ning also took a pound of three immortal tea according to his words and gave it to the brother and sister.
Li Huqi took the tea bag and was happy for a while. Then he hesitated for a moment and asked Zhang Ning: "Brother Zhang, since you and my eldest brother are called brothers, do you know where my eldest brother has gone?"
"I miss him so much. Li Huqi lowered his head slightly, and his eyes were red.
Li Yuanxiong also pricked up his ears, obviously wanting to know about this matter as well.
Zhang Ning hesitated when he heard this, of course he knew where Li Yuanba went, not only knew that Li Yuanba had fallen as a monk, but also knew what temple Li Yuanba had lost his hair in.
But Zhang Ning couldn't say it, because Li Yuanba wouldn't let him say it.
"I don't know. Zhang Ning said against his will.
The Li brothers and sisters were very disappointed, and Li Hussar wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeves again. "Brother Zhang, remember, don't be late. Li Huqi said playfully to Zhang Ning.
Immediately, the brother and sister took their leave and left.
Zhang Ning personally sent the brother and sister to the door, and was about to close the door and go back. The door of Liu's house opened, and Liu Xiuxiu poked her head out of the door and asked, "Brother Zhang, isn't it a disaster?"
She was still a little worried.
"Don't worry, it's not a disaster. Zhang Ning smiled and touched Xiuxiu's little head and said.
After appeasing Liu Xiuxiu, Zhang Ning entered the lobby of his mansion and sat down, looked at the gilded invitation on the coffee table, and groaned for a while.
Since it is a door-to-door birthday celebration, it is natural to prepare a birthday gift. The Li family is the hereditary Duke of Ningguo, and it would be undignified if this birthday gift was light.
Zhang Ning thought about it, and had a little headache for a while.
He had never congratulated such a person on his birthday.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Ning had a plan. Because there was something to do, Zhang Ning didn't go back to the prison to report, and he would talk about it after he had done it.
That night, Zhang Ning slept in his mansion.
Late at night!
A piano sounded, the sound of the piano was quiet, containing internal force, so it spread far away.
Zhang Ning frowned slightly, put on his hat again, put on his clothes, picked up the lancet and came to the courtyard, and jumped over the fence with a leap.
Then Zhang Ning went straight to the palace.
Since the nine-thousand-year-old Zhang Baigong came to power, Qi has imposed a curfew, and the elite forbidden army has been sent out to patrol and catch night walkers, who can be killed on the spot.
The forbidden army is like a cloud, so few people in Qidu dare to walk at night. But Zhang Ning quietly avoided these forbidden army masters and came to the imperial city.
After Zhang Ning came to the imperial city, he sneaked past and quietly came to a palace.
The moon is shining high tonight, and the visibility is very high. There is a plaque hanging on the palace, which is "Shoukang Palace".
The three palaces of "Shoukang", "Changle" and "Cining" are the places where the concubines of the first emperor are settled.
Shoukang is the queen mother's bedroom.
When the Empress Dowager Li was named the queen, she was the founder of the country, and after the Li family of Jiangguo Gong, she was nineteen years old this year, and the first emperor died last year, and Queen Li became the queen mother.
The only son, Yang Shou, ascended the throne as the emperor, and was two and a half years old at the time.
The power of the DPRK and China has been held by the eunuch Zhang Baigong for a year. Now Zhang Baigong is 9,000 years old, powerful, killing loyal and good, and persecuting heroes.
The emperor's mother, son, orphan and widow, were in an extremely delicate situation.
Zhang Ning jumped over the palace wall and came to the courtyard.
