Inheritance policy

Chapter 119 Birthday

Xing Zhao looked back at Queen Fang for advice.

Empress Fang smiled and pushed her away: "The little lady also handed in a caring handkerchief. I haven't seen each other today. I guess Huanyi wants to wish you a birthday in person. Take Lianyu and go, don't walk in the water. Beside, don't go deep into the grass, the heat is getting heavy, be careful there are mosquitoes, snakes and rats, remember to come back early." He also told Lianyu: "...Take care of the girl, Huanyi is a demure person, but she can't do anything out of the ordinary Come here. I'm afraid that the second and fourth children are still with me. The second child is a lawless person. I'm afraid that he will take advantage of his birthday to drag the little lady to join in the fun. If the two princes are here, let Ah Wu come back first. "

I was happy and worried, and I also brought some emotions about the young girl in my family growing up.

Queen Fang, who is so decisive and intelligent, can think things wrong now - no matter how the second prince does as he pleases, he can't use Huanyi's name to pass on the imperial decree falsely!

Besides, she is not Min Jirou
Xing Zhao pursed his lips and smiled, walked out of Fengyi Hall, went back to Guiyi Pavilion and changed his clothes again, after thinking about it, he also took a cinnabar red peace talisman that was pressed in the bottom of the case—— Huanyi and Concubine Shu were not at ease when the sixth prince was away.She simply gave Huanyi the peace talisman asked by Dingguo Temple, which at least gave her some comfort.

The night melted, and the long and narrow palace road quietly protruded forward, stretching to the depths, Xingzhao thought about it, adding up her past and present lives, she hadn't seen much of the palace at night.Qiwan walked in front holding a ram's horn, and there were two rows of Han brick lampstands in front of the red wall glazed tiles, probably because of the darkness under the lamps. The bright and flickering lights elongate the simple lampstand, like a slightly towering tower, and from another angle, it looks like a wild goose spreading its wings.

The palace pays attention to "Bai Ming sleeps well at night", when the sky gets dark, the palace people walk and act lightly, Xing Zhao suddenly remembered that one night when she went to the main hall, Empress Fang was reading under the lamp with a book, Jiang Mingying turned her back She made several unpredictable gestures towards Biyu, but the little girl shrugged her shoulders and stared dumbfounded. After a long while, she shook her head at Jiang Mingying to express that she didn't understand, and Aunt Jiang, who was usually calm and quiet, almost lost her temper with anger.

The corner of Xingzhao's mouth curled up, the life in Fengyi Palace was full and joyful, after thinking about it again, he realized how difficult it was for Queen Fang who lived in the peaceful and dignified Fengyi Palace, facing her husband's concubine who couldn't fill a room When facing the son born in the concubine's room, you have to laugh, even when you face the situation of having no children under your knees, you should not only laugh but also openly reward the woman who can give her husband a baby.
I didn't know what was going on in my mind, but I passed Yangui Gate unknowingly under my feet, and turned left to Taiye Pool.It is now in midsummer, and there are slight cicadas chirping one after another in the ear, and the warm light can make people see the road under their feet clearly. Hiding behind the pipa is the enchanting Yan Ji. There are lotus flowers all over the pool, and the wide leaves spread out on the water, green like a piece of flawless emerald. Budding, shyly hiding in the moonlight like water.

The beauty of this pool is all piled up with gold.

It is estimated that raising such a pool of water and flowers will cost a thousand dollars a day.

The lotus was originally raised in a large pond in Tongzhou. In early summer, the lotus was sent to the imperial city with the seedlings and the basin.The water is drawn from the Lishan Mountain, and the tens of meters long bamboo poles are split in half and connected together to transport the water to the imperial city from the southwest of Dingjing.The palace people have to get up at three o'clock every day, and when the sky is getting bright, they have to come to the water to take care of it.
As Xing Zhao said, she is an ordinary person, and she only thinks that the things in this wealth pile are beautiful.

It's no wonder that those who shrink on the ground want to climb higher, while those who have already climbed the mountainside want to climb to the top
Xing Zhao smiled, his days were free, and his mind was thinking about nonsense things all day long.

Smiling and shaking his head, he saw Chunlan Pavilion after turning a corner, with a shimmering light inside, Xing Zhao quickened his pace and walked up the steps, lowering his head to take advantage of the light to draw on his skirt while going up the steps with a smile Said: "It's hard to travel at night, Princess Huanyi can go to Guiyi Pavilion, or Ah Wu can go to Chonghua Palace, why did I think of the appointment in Tai?"

With the words stuck in his throat, Xing Zhao raised his head and stared dumbfounded at the young man who sat An An in the middle of the pavilion.

Fair complexion, peach-blossom eyes, hazy eyes. Thin lips but habitually tight.
Sitting under the warm light and twilight, holding a cup in one hand, the young man with light eyebrows.
It is the sixth prince!
"Aren't you in Liaodong!"

The little lady blurted out, her voice was high-pitched and weak, she couldn't startle the palace people waiting in the palace road, but she scared the cicadas clinging to the tree enough - the cicadas' singing paused neatly for a moment , which sounded neatly one after another.

It was rare for Xingzhao to lose his composure, and he came back to his senses in an instant. First, he put his head out of the pavilion, looked around, and then quickly ordered Lianyu, "Take Qiwan to look outside! Turn off the lights first. It's gone!" He told a tall and graceful court lady who was following behind the sixth prince aggressively, "Please put out the lights first! There are many mosquitoes, snakes and rats in the summer heat, so it's hard to guarantee that moths won't come over soon Fight the fire!"

A series of movements were quick and precise, Qiwan moved the fastest, pinched the fire and turned her back, and walked outside in a daze.The palace servant following the sixth prince was a little disapproving, and bent his knees with frown and smile, and said softly with an apologetic smile: "County Master Wenyang is worrying too much."

"Jade, you go out first." The young man interrupted his words decisively with a soft and hoarse voice, then raised his head to look at the young lady standing upright in front of him, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Leave a lamp. If the black lamp is blind, it will cause trouble." If moths don’t come, they can attract other strange things.”

The palace maid named Fei Cui listened to the Sixth Prince's order, lowered her eyebrows and kept the light on, turned towards Xing Zhaofu, looked at her from the corner of her eye, turned around and left the pavilion.

Xingzhao suddenly remembered the time when the sixth prince delivered the medicine—it was also in the name of Huanyi!It was daytime, and there were people watching, but now it is the dead of night, after dusk.The defense of men and women in the Great Zhou Dynasty was not as serious as in the previous dynasty, but the reputation of women was still harsh.

Queen Fang was worried that the second prince could do whatever he wanted, but she didn't expect to escape from the second child's hand, but jumped into the sixth child's trap!

Xing Zhao took a step back, lowered his eyelids, bent his knees, and calmly said the courtesy first: "The sixth prince is well." After thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong, and then said: "Prince Duan is well."

Fu Guo didn't wait for the sixth prince to say anything, so he smiled and said softly: "Princess Huanyi was originally invited, but I didn't know that the prince was also watching the moon at the Chunlan Pavilion. The ministers and daughters are bothering me, I think Princess Huanyi is still waiting outside Where is the court lady?"

The sixth prince propped his hands on the stone table, got up slowly, and said with a smile: "Elder sister should accompany mother and concubine to study in Chonghua Palace, today is a violation of the rules."

Xing Zhao's eyes were set on the bright blue bricks at her feet, she could see her own shadow, and she could also see the shadow of the sixth prince who walked slowly and firmly. She couldn't figure out why the sixth prince invited him , the sufferings of the previous life and the setbacks of this life told her to be vigilant and self-examination at all times, from delivering medicine to comforting, from siege rescue to night appointment, Xing Zhao couldn't figure out why the sixth prince's attitude suddenly changed from his previous life. The alienation and politeness of the past has transitioned to the present kindness and familiarity.

From the corner of her head, she could catch a glimpse of her own hands that were too small to hold Yu Jue. She heard that some men especially like naive little ladies.
Or plotting something on her, the relationship between Concubine Shu and Queen Fang is close enough, if Queen Fang intends to support the concubine, he can only be the candidate, and he doesn't need to rely on in-laws to get closer
Or is he playing with the He family's idea?
It's a pity that he pressed the wrong chips.

Xing Zhao pursed his lips and smiled, his heart gradually sank, and he said in a soft voice: "You just came back from Liaodong, right? Usually, the news in the palace seems to have grown wings, and they don't need to run, but fly to every palace. Li. Fengyi Hall didn't hear you back to the palace, do you think it's strange?"

A little beast with thorns on its body is not as gentle as it looks in the past. When encountering the unknown, the edges and corners of its body that are usually well hidden will emerge.

This was the first thought that flashed into the sixth prince's mind.

He quietly looked at the eloquent appearance of the little lady. Could it be that the seven or eight-year-old lady grew very fast, as if she had grown a lot taller than when he went to Liaodong.It had only reached his shoulders before, but now it almost reached his nose.His complexion is very good, his big almond eyes are bright and ruddy, probably because of Fang Qi's return, with support, it's like a heart has returned to his stomach.

The sixth prince didn't speak for a while, the horn palace lantern was lightly placed on the stone bench by Jadeite, the light just reached the sixth prince's chin, when Xing Zhao raised his head, in the bright and dim light, he saw a circle of black and blue around the sixth prince's eyes.

"I just came back from Liaodong."

The Sixth Prince's voice was clear and calm, with a deep voice, but it was as steady as a horizontal line drawn with a working ruler, without any waves.

"I entered Beijing at the third quarter of the Youshi period, and came out of the Yiyuan Hall at the third quarter of the Xushi period. Before the Chonghua Palace had time, I called a small palace man to the Fengyi Hall to call you out."

Xing Zhao was taken aback for a moment, did Wu Qing drive out because of rushing?
After the sixth prince finished speaking, he leaned forward after thinking for a while and asked again: "I heard that General Fang came back from the northwest? Xingjing also captured Tuo Heqi alive?"

The old name was used in the words, Zhili can no longer be called a general after the central government, the sixth prince really entered the palace as soon as he entered the capital, and came to Chunlan Pavilion as soon as he came out of the Yiyuan Hall.

The words jumped from the east to the west in an instant, and Xing Zhao found that he couldn't grasp the rhythm of the sixth prince. The sixth prince squatted down, and a face suddenly appeared in front of her, looking straight at him. Xing Zhao couldn't help but backed away. He nodded absent-mindedly, and corrected him: "It's Fang Dudu. He came back on the sixth day of June. The emperor promoted his uncle to be the governor of the right army, and his elder brother became a famous uncle."
