Baihui hurriedly walked across the stone arch bridge on the lake with a red lacquer carved food box. Guan Yubai was standing by the lake watching the fish, dropping some bait from time to time, attracting a large group of golden carp in the lake. Come and snatch.
Little Four seemed to think that feeding the fish was boring, so he climbed onto the roll shed.
He was condescending, and he was in sight for a mile. Of course, he had already seen Baihui walking towards this side, but he didn't care. He sat on the top and looked at the scenery.
Baihui glanced at the little four on the roll shed, carried her skirt and got off the bridge, walked slowly to Guan Yubai's side, and said blessedly, "I have seen the son."
Baihui's face was calm, but there was a hint of complexity in her heart, but more of it was joy: The son is really here!
Even though she has been serving the princess for many years and regards her as the master, Guan Yubai always has a unique position in her mind, and he will always be the son in her mind.
Apart from Concubine Shizi and Lily, the only person she was willing to go through was him!
"No need to be polite." Guan Yubai, leaning against a willow tree, smiled slightly, and put the small box for feeding the fish aside.
Baihui picked up the food box and said again, "Young Master, the First Concubine ordered the servants to bring you dinner."
The two of them knew each other that sending dinner was just an excuse, and the palace had no shortage of servants to send dinner, so it was the turn of the concubine's maid to come out in person.
Guan Yubai turned around and entered the room, followed by Baihui.
Baihui slowly opened the food box and said, "Young Master, Concubine Shizi is afraid that you will not be used to the taste here, so she specially ordered the kitchen to cook some northern dishes."
The three-tier food box looks small, but it contains a lot of dishes: Di Sanxian, pot-wrapped meat, vegetarian stewed arugula, mugwort meat, lotus root tofu...
Two meat and four vegetables, plus a bowl of black chicken soup, set a full table.
Guan Yu said with a smile: "Thank you for me, your concubine." After a pause, he asked, "Baihui, how are you and Lily living in the southern border?"
When talking about her cousin Lily, Baihui's eyes softened a lot, with a strong smile, and she said lightly: "The folk customs of the southern border are not as strict and restrained as the royal capital, son, you know Lily's temperament, she is here. After here, it's like a duck to water! Today, I'm going for a horse race, and tomorrow I'm going out for an outing. A few days ago, because of the thief near the alley where she lived, she even formed a Detachment of Women to catch the thief. What's wrong with that? Yes, it's probably because Lily is not used to the food in southern Xinjiang..."
Baihui sounds like she is scolding Lily, but she is actually happy for Lily. Lily can live the life she wants to live as she wants, which means that her cousin-in-law Ren Zinan treats her well.
Guan Yubai also understood this, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth. The two sisters Baihui and Lily went out from his side, and he also hoped that they would have a good life.
After Baihui finished laying the dishes, she put the food box aside and said, "Young Master, Li Xiaowei is temporarily staying in Hewenyuan. He crosses the lake from Qingyunwu, and then goes around the Liuying Water Pavilion, which is Hewenyuan. The princess said that if it is inconvenient, someone can open the small garden next to Hewenyuan, so that from Hewenyuan to Qingyunwu, you only need to pass through the small garden."
From the perspective of distance alone, Hewenyuan is actually very close to Qingyunwu, but there is a small garden adjacent to it. Because wild bees have been infested recently, Nangong Yue moved the Taihu stone to temporarily seal the entrance, so as not to affect the appearance. It can also stop people from entering and leaving. Without this small garden, it would take a detour from Hewenyuan to Qingyunwu, and the distance would be farther away.
Li Yunqi and Guan Yubai came together, but Nangong Yue didn't know whether he was Guan Yubai's confidant, so he chose He Wenyuan because of this consideration: If this person is credible, he can always find a reason to open it. The small garden was closed, otherwise, it continued to seal the small garden, artificially creating a distance between Hewenyuan and Qingyunwu.
Baihui asked in a subtle way, but Guan Yubai understood it in his heart. The corners of his lips raised, and he said, "No need."
Even though Li Yunqi was very obedient along the way, his intentions were obvious when he encountered Tang Qinghong who blocked the road and searched before entering the city.
Baihui thanked her fortune and replied, "My servant understands." Then she added, "Master Shizi has a three-entry house in the south of the city. No one knows about it. You can do it yourself." After speaking, she took out from her purse. A bunch of copper keys were placed on the table, and the address was given in detail.
Whether it was the residence in Qingyunwu or the mansion in the south of the city, Nangong Yue had considered it very carefully.
Guan Yubai couldn't help thinking that when he first met her, she was just a little girl, so she was not in a hurry, she was thoughtful...
Guan Yubai nodded slightly, and said, "Baihui, you thanked your concubine for me. Let me give her a message. There are two things. One is..."
As Guan Yubai spoke slowly, Baihui looked solemn, and finally said solemnly: "Yes, son. The slave must bring the words completely."
Guan Yubai stayed temporarily in Zhennan Wangfu.
King Zhennan was confused by Mrs. Qiao's troubles, and he suddenly remembered that he forgot to hold a reception banquet for Guanyubai. Knowing that Concubine Shizi had asked her eldest maid to deliver meals to the guests in person, and apologized for the fact that King Zhennan was busy with official business, and Shizi could not entertain the guests well while he was away in battle. King Zhennan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and once again deeply felt that Concubine Shi was much more secure than Xiao Fang, she was indeed the direct daughter of a famous family!
King Zhennan was very busy, and before he could take a good rest, Tang Qinghong came.
Tang Qinghong was also very busy. After sending Qiao Ruolan back to the mansion, he hurried back to Maofeng Town and searched again, especially the neighbors of the family, who were closely interrogated to confirm that he did not miss anything. Only then did he return to King Zhennan.
It is reported that the family who committed suicide by taking poison has been living in Maofeng Town for five years.
King Zhennan was a little sighed. Although he didn't catch the survivors, he was able to eradicate a hidden eyeliner of Nan Liang. It was a great luck!
Qiao Ruolan was found, and Nanliang's spy also committed suicide by taking poison. King Zhennan suddenly felt a lot lighter, and immediately ordered the lifting of martial law in Luoyue City, and rewarded Tang Qinghong for his hard work.
Considering that Mrs. Qiao asked herself to conceal the abduction of Qiao Ruolan, King Zhennan simply asked Tang Qinghong to order people to publicize that the two days of martial law were to search for the spies in Nanliang.
Tang Qinghong received the reward, and it was when he was in high spirits that he naturally got this errand properly.
But overnight, Luo Yue City became orderly and prosperous again.
On a street in Luoyue City, people came and went, and the hawkers on both sides of the street were shouting constantly.
Many passers-by went to the tea shop on the street to rest and drink tea. The boss greeted the guests with a smile.
A big man in his thirties put down his empty bowl and said, "Third, we missed work because of martial law in the city two days ago, but the master said that we still have to hand over work in half a month. We have to hurry up these days."
The young man sitting across from him gulped half a bowl of tea, wiped his mouth with his cuff casually, and nodded: "Brother, don't worry. It's only been two days, so it's okay."
The big man sighed happily: "Fortunately, I caught those damn Nanliang spies! Otherwise, I don't know how many days it will be delayed..."
A mustache who was sharing the table with them couldn't help but interject: "Have you heard? Those Nanliang spies know that they can't fly with their wings, and they all committed suicide by taking poison."
"It's good to die!" The young man clapped the table angrily, "Occupy my vast territory, kill my compatriots, and deserve to die!"
Moustache nodded and said, "Yeah. If those Nanliang spies were allowed to do something, the consequences would be unimaginable."
An old man at the next table listened to them talking for a long time, and said with emotion: "This time, it is fortunate that the prince is wise, and none of those spies escaped!"
"Yeah, the lord is wise, and the prince is very martial. It is a great blessing for us to have the prince and the prince in the southern border!" The big man said with praise.
They were talking lively, and they didn't notice that there were two men wearing hats behind them.
Now that the sun is shining in the daytime, they are not obtrusive wearing their hats. The broad sides of the hats cover almost half of their facial features, and also cover their slightly deeper eye sockets and high nose bridges than those of Oyo.
After the two settled the bill, they walked out of the tea shop and walked all the way to an empty alley. Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
One of the taller one took off the hat on his head, revealing a dark face, that was a 20-year-old interracial youth.
The young man snorted disdainfully, and his shrewd triangular eyes showed a wolf-like light, and said coldly, "It's really useless to deceive King Zhennan with such a simple method!"
The shorter one also took off the hat on his head, only to see that he was in his forties, with a thick beard on his chin. He narrowed his shrewd eyes and said solemnly: "It seems that the news we got is correct. King Zhennan is rude and stupid, but he is self-righteous and self-righteous. It's a pity that we have laid eyeliner in Maofeng Town for so many years. ...However, it's worth it if a few human lives can reveal this matter. Speaking of which, the most troublesome person in the southern border is indeed the prince Xiao Yi!"
The young man nodded and said respectfully: "Lieutenant General, the subordinates still have to think of a way to lead the Concubine Shizi out..." Concubine Shizi is in the inner courtyard of the palace. If she is not led out, the palace will be heavily guarded. , they simply can't take people captive.
The bearded man known as the "Lieutenant General" touched his chin and said, "It is said that the prince Xiao Yi and the prince concubine Yu Hao have a deep relationship, and only by using the prince concubine as a bait, can we take down Huiling City without bloodshed!"
The plan to use the anti-heat medicine as bait to lure the Concubine out was something they had been planning for a long time, and they considered every move step by step very well.
He narrowed his shrewd eyes and said solemnly, "This time, I can't go wrong again."
The young man folded his fists and bowed, "Yes!"
Beard put on the bamboo hat again, and said, "Let's go back to the Nine Kings first." Speaking of "Nine Kings", Beard's face was complicated once. Originally, he had full control of this action, but the Nine Kings temporarily Come over to join in the fun, if it wasn't for the purpose of connecting with the Nine Kings, it wouldn't have delayed another day in Luoyue City...
The "coffin plan" is one of the last tricks that was planned for a long time, and it is indeed useful, but the problem is that if the trick is good, it is the wrong person!
If it wasn't to get away, he really wanted to slash that woman thousands of times to vent his anger.
The two walked out of the alley and crossed two streets. After making sure that no one was following, they entered a Sihai restaurant.
They were supposed to go to the third floor to meet the Nine Kings, but they walked up to the second floor. The bearded footsteps suddenly paused, and they saw a familiar figure by the window.
At the second table by the window, there were two young people sitting, one was a scholar in green robe wearing a square scarf, and the other was a handsome young man wearing an indigo brocade robe. The two were chatting with each other, as if they were close friends. general.
The bearded eyes stopped on the latter, the brows under the bucket hat wrinkled, and he thought, "The Nine Kings are restlessly in the throne room, why did they come down?" ! And chat with a big Yu!
This young man in a blue robe is the Ninth King Langma of Nanliang.
Beard made a gesture to his subordinates, and the two simply went to the window and sat down at a table behind Langma, just when Langma said in surprise, "Brother Ye, it turns out that Lingmei is in the Zhennan Palace... …”
Zhennan Palace? ! The bearded pupils shrank, it turned out that the nine kings were not as reckless and foolish as they thought.
Beard calmed down and listened.
"Brother Lang, I'm ashamed to say..." Ye Yinming's face showed shame. There is a saying that it is better to be a poor man's wife than a rich man's concubine. Hey, the Ye family is the first of a scholarly family, but her younger sister is a concubine. It's really humiliating to say it out.
Langma lowered her eyes halfway, and there was a hint of color in her eyes, and she disappeared in a flash.
After he came to Luoyue City, he didn't know much about the Zhennan Palace, and it was the Ye family brothers and sisters who had been making troubles all over the city recently. Langma immediately felt that this was a great opportunity, and found out that Ye Yinming often came to this restaurant, so he came over to create this "coincidence". With his three-inch incorrupt color, he soon became brothers and sisters with this Ye Yinming.
Langma smiled boldly and comforted: "I think Brother Ye is having an affair. Brother Ye, don't blame the younger brother for his deep conversation. There is a saying, 'A loss is a loss, and a glory is a glory'. The whole family is closely related. With Brother Ye's talent and learning, he will definitely be named on the gold list in the future, but Jinshi is the first step. If Brother Ye wants to rise in the officialdom, he needs 'assistance'..." He meaningfully emphasized the importance of "assistance". volume.
Ye Yinming was thoughtful.
Langma continued: "Once Brother Ye will become an extremely high-ranking official, then the Zhennan Palace will naturally have to value Lingmei. At that time, Lingmei will not be an ordinary concubine, side concubine, or even..." He didn't say any more. , let Ye Yinming imagine.
One is honored and one is honored, and they support each other, so it is! Ye Yinming's eyes shone with brilliance, and he clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Brother Lang, for your guidance, my younger brother has benefited a lot."
"Where is it? Brother Ye will grow up in the future, don't forget that the younger brother is the one." Langma also clasped her fist politely, and then changed her words, "The younger brother also understands that Brother Ye is the elder brother, and is worried that Lingmei will be wronged in the palace. It is unavoidable, but the Zhennan Palace has a great reputation in the southern border, and the concubine is even more kind and righteous. She once used tea and medicine outside the city to help the refugees. If the concubine is like this, the palace must be a beautiful place, and Brother Ye doesn't need to be too much. concern."
As soon as he heard Langma's praises to the princess, Ye Yinming's face froze slightly, his lips pursed into a straight line, but he didn't say anything.
Langma has been observing her words and expressions. When she saw Ye Yinming's expression was a little wrong, she immediately asked, "Brother Ye, what's wrong with what my brother said?"
Ye Yinming said lightly: "A gentleman does not avoid the beauty of others, and does not speak of the evil of others... If you say too much, the younger brother will become a villain who is right and wrong behind the Tao."
Langma pretended to be sullen and said, "Brother Ye, my little brother and you are like old friends, and I just said a lot of heartfelt words to Brother Ye. How come it's Brother Ye's turn, but it's the other way around?!"
Ye Yinming thought about it too, Langma's advice just now was considered to be trusting himself, and he should reciprocate.
Ye Yinming pondered for a while, then lowered his voice and said: "Then brother, just say a few words to Brother Lang. Concubine Shizi is used to doing scenes. Take tea and medicine as an example, this matter was originally the eldest girl of the palace. He took the lead, but in the end, the people who didn't know the reason all attributed the credit to Concubine Shizi, giving her a good name..." As he spoke, he curled the corners of his lips in disdain, "My grandmother went to see my sister today and heard what she said. Ten days later, the princess will go to the Great Buddha Temple to pray for the blessing of the prince and the people of Huiling City. At that time, the southern border will surely preach the benevolence and righteousness of the prince, and serve the people wholeheartedly..."
Ten days later...Pray for blessings...Langma's eyes flashed a gleam of light. It was worth the effort he spent on Ye Yinming, and finally he got some useful information!
Speaking of going to the Great Buddha Temple to pray for blessings, Nangong Yue just decided last night, and immediately asked all the sons and girls in the house to copy a copy of the Earth Store Sutra by hand, and then take it to the Great Buddha Temple to worship. The people in the sewing room were instructed to rush to make the monk's clothes to be offered that day. It is said that each person in the sewing room was rewarded with a tael of silver.
So, in less than a day, almost everyone in the whole government knew that she was going to the Great Buddha Temple in ten days.
Nangong Yue didn't care about it, and didn't stop it, so they could talk about it.
At this time, she had already finished the trivial matters in the mansion, and was in the Tingyu Pavilion with Xiao Fei.
In the octagonal pavilion, a light golden torreya chessboard is placed on a round stone table. On the chessboard, black pieces and white pieces are criss-crossed, and the battle is in full swing. Both sides of the game are still throwing their pieces on the chessboard.
The two sides attacked and defended, like generals commanding a thousand armies, and they launched a fierce game on the chessboard.
Da da da……
Nangong Yue sat aside, sipping osmanthus tea leisurely while watching the chess game.
Although Heizi seemed to be evenly matched at first, from her point of view, Heizi was already too weak and weak.
Nangong Yue quickly glanced at Mrs. Fang, and saw that his brows were wrinkled and he fell into deep thought. A sunspot was twisting in his right hand, unable to settle for a long time.
Xiao Fei on the other side was also staring intently at the chessboard, those black and bright eyes that only reflected the chess game at the moment.
At this time, a pink-clothed maid circled from the west side of the house to the backyard, hurriedly stopped outside the octagonal pavilion, and reported with her knees bent: "Grandpa, Marquis Anyi is here, he is outside the courtyard now, and I want to greet you."
Grandpa Fang clung to Heizi's right hand for a while, and asked with doubts on his face: "Marquis Anyi?" Grandpa Fang can be said to be an idle cloud and wild crane, ignoring ordinary affairs. His daily work and rest scope is only in Tingyu Pavilion, and he does not know the official language at all. Who is it, I don't know that he came to the palace to announce the decree.
But no matter who this Marquis An Yi is, he still solves his urgent need.
Grandpa Fang reluctantly looked at Xiao Fei who was attentive, this stubborn girl still doesn't know how to respect the elders and respect the virtuous at all, and put some water on himself.
Nangong Yue said with a smile: "Grandfather, Marquis Anyi Guan Yubai is A Yi's best friend, and he just arrived in Luoyue City yesterday by the emperor's order."
acquaintance? ! Grandpa Fang raised his eyebrows and put the black piece in his hand in the chess box. With a look of anticipation on his face, he nodded and said, "Since he is A Yi's best friend, I really want to meet him."
"Yes, old man." The pink-clothed maid was blessed again and returned the same way.
"Marquis Anyi is here?!" Xiao Fei, who was staring at the chessboard, reacted dully and raised his head.
Grandpa Fang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Sister Fei, do you also know Marquis Anyi?"
Xiao Fei nodded and said, "I used to have a relationship with the king. The Marquis of Anyi is highly skilled at chess and has a lot of wisdom, which is the only thing I have ever seen in my life. Even if I lose to him, it will benefit me a lot."
The few words only talked about chess, which made Mr. Fang a little amused, but he became more and more curious about An Yihou.
Grandpa Fang thought that Xiao Yi's friends were all like his younger brothers, such as Fu Yunhe. Although he was a bit playful and inattentive, he was a good boy in his bones, but he could never be called clever.
What kind of person would this Marquis Anyi with excellent chess skills be like in Xiao Fei's mouth? !
After a while, the pink-clothed maid just now walked over with a tall and thin young boy and a young servant in green clothes. The boy was dressed in a simple and elegant moon-white robe, his eyebrows were like mountains, and he was gentle and elegant.
A gust of breeze blew, his clothes fluttered, and the sound of hunting and hunting, as if he was going to ride the wind back home. Looking at it again, his expression seemed to be a little indifferent and a little cold.
Even Mr. Fang, who has read countless people, has no choice but to praise in his heart: Moshang is like a jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world. This person is truly a dragon and a phoenix.
but--
A Yi's best friend turned out to be a completely different person from him. From appearance, personality, temperament... two people who are completely different can become best friends? Mrs. Fang felt that he was getting old and couldn't understand the children of today...
Guan Yubai walked outside the octagonal pavilion unhurriedly, still always graceful and calm, and bowed: "The younger generation has seen Mrs. Fang."
Since he used to claim that he was a junior, it meant that he came here today to meet and visit the elders, and had nothing to do with external titles.
"No ceremony!" Mrs. Fang said with a smile, "Yubai, please take a seat!" Mrs. Fang did not address Hou Ye unfamiliarly, but addressed him by his first name.
"Thank you, old man."
Guan Yubai followed and politely greeted Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei, then walked into the pavilion and sat down opposite Nangong Yue.
Of course, he also saw the chess game on the stone table and glanced at it casually. With his chess skills, it is clear at a glance who is stronger and who is weaker than Black and White.
Old Master Fang stroked his long beard and said with a smile, "Yubai, you have come all the way from the capital of the capital, and you are exhausted by boat and car. You should take a good rest these few days."
While Mrs. Fang was talking, Nangong Yue was also looking at Guan Yubai's complexion. She knew the most about Guan Yubai's physical condition, but she could not bear it after more than a month of traveling, let alone Guan Yubai... ...But to her surprise, Guan Yubai's complexion seemed to be pretty good.
Guan Yubai said, "Thank you, Mrs. Fang, for your concern. Yubai happened to have a little ailment a few days ago, and I happened to meet a genius doctor. After being taken by the genius doctor, he took care of it, but it was a blessing in disguise."
Nangong Yue was stunned for a moment, and with her official nature, she would not bring up this topic for no reason. Could it be... could it be that he met his grandfather? She couldn't help but glance at Xiao Si who was behind him, and saw the clue in Xiao Si's eyes. That was a coincidence. Originally, she was still worried that the official language was weak, but when she arrived in the southern border, she might suffer from a disease of acclimatization. Now that her grandfather has taken action, she should not have to worry for the time being.
"Yubai, you are a lucky person with a natural appearance." Mrs. Fang smiled, "It's a pity that Ayi happened to be out on an expedition, otherwise he could lead you around the neighborhood to see the great rivers and mountains in our southern border! The capital is prosperous, but it is also beautiful and the folk customs are simple..."
After the two of you exchanged a few words with each other, the atmosphere warmed up. For someone like Guan Yubai, who is witty and wise, if he wants to, he can make you feel like a spring breeze and feel at ease, unconsciously. , Mrs. Fang looked at him like he was looking at his own son and nephew.
Mr. Fang lit the chessboard, thought together, and said, "Yubai, I heard that your chess skills are extraordinary, will you help me and Sister Fei finish this game?"
