Concubine Sheng Chong

Chapter 119 They Are Searching Luoyang City Secretly
"Holy..."

A chief eunuch in the respect room with a large silver tray informed him, then bowed and walked into the imperial study room.

On the silver plate are neatly lined up dozens of exquisitely crafted, small and expensive green-headed cards with different names.

Emperor Yongning glanced at the bowed eunuch, and then put down the cinnabar pen in his hand.

He glanced at the silver plate that had been brought to his hand, but saw that the green-headed card in the center was covered with vermilion, which was very eye-catching.

The surname on it was not familiar.

Emperor Yongning asked doubtfully, "He Lan?"

After hearing the name, the wife bowed and said, "Report to Your Majesty, this is the young master He Lan of Lixiu Palace."

He was slightly nervous, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his hands.

That green card... I did do something according to Mr. Wei's wishes.

In the past few days, other high-status show girls have served as bed attendants one after another and got their positions. It is not a big deal to recommend this young master of Lixiu Palace at this time.

Emperor Yongning snorted slightly, who is it?Hope to be lucky with this woman?
He asked lightly: "Which family's show girl is this?"

The eunuch saw that Emperor Yongning's tone seemed a little salty, and he couldn't get up or down with a sigh of relief in his heart.

After he stabilized his mind, he said: "Report to Your Majesty, this young master is the legitimate daughter of the He family in Dingzhou."

Emperor Yongning was a little surprised this time.

Dingzhou He family?It was unheard of.

After hesitating for a moment, he rubbed the sign with He Lan in his hand for a while, then flipped it back, and continued to look through the booklet at hand.

The eunuch saw that he had turned over He Lan's signboard, and hurriedly bowed and retreated. He didn't heave a sigh of relief until he got out of the imperial study...

In this palace, only smart people can survive...

Seeing that he was still wiping the sweat from his brow during the winter night, the young eunuchs on the side froze in place.

The head manager of the respect room swept the dust away, and scolded in a low voice: "Let's go... What are you still doing in a daze? Your Majesty turned over the signboard of the young master He Lan of Lixiu Palace today. Go quickly."

These little eunuchs quickly lowered their heads and headed towards the Lixiu Palace.

In the Pinxiu Palace, the many days of waiting without any news has already disappointed many beautiful women from ordinary backgrounds.

In this deep palace, without the grace of the Holy Majesty, they will only end up as an old woman, lonely and self-pitying in front of the mirror.

A beautiful girl in pink said in a low voice: "I heard...the one who went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation yesterday was the concubine of the Fang family! Today she will be promoted to concubine Xian!"

The beautiful girl in blue beside her snorted through her nose, and said in a dark tone: "There is nothing to say, she is the daughter of the general's mansion, so naturally she will be valued more by the Holy Majesty! Look at the daughter of the Zhongyonghou mansion." Daughter, it is said that she fell into the arms of the Holy Majesty in the Imperial Garden, and went to bed that night. Although it was sealed as a Zhaoyi, did Concubine Li reward her with the Mingren Hall? We don't know when we will get out of it. size..."

The beautiful girl in pink covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Can Zhaoyi also enter the first palace?"

The blue-clothed beautiful girl looked worried, "Let her live with a few Jieyu who are not valued by the Holy Majesty, isn't she the first palace lord?"

The beautiful girl in pink sighed softly, "I don't know who can get the first prize in this Lixiu Palace."

Jiaoyin went out of the hall and shouted in a low voice; "It's already so late today, don't wait any longer, go back and go to bed early."

Several beautiful women sat on the stone benches in the courtyard, shivering in the bleak cold wind.

In the hall, He Lan in the room was also looking out of the window, but unfortunately, when he looked again, he could only see the vermilion courtyard wall.

Suddenly there was a commotion in the yard, and the nuns of Lixiu Palace ran into He Lan's room in a panic.

But I never thought about it, but bumped into Wen Chunxiao who was about to enter He Lan's house.

The nanny pushed Wen Chunxiao away, frowned at her and said, "Oh, my little aunt! Get out of the way!"

This missed the time, but I have to accept the punishment!
As she spoke, she ignored Wen Chunxiao who was knocked against the door frame and grinned, and hurried into He Lan's room.

She said to He Lan who was sitting on the chair: "My lord! Hurry up! Your Majesty turned over your sign today!"

He Lan stood up suddenly, "What?!"

Lixiu Palace has not been served by anyone yet...

How come I have this luck!
Nanny Yin couldn't care less about explaining to her, she pulled her out of the house, "Oh, my little master! Go take a bath and change clothes! Do you still want the saint to wait?"

Now this He Lan has become a favorite in her eyes, maybe he will get the favor of the Holy Majesty!

Wen Chunxiao looked at He Lan who was hurriedly taken away by the nanny Jiaoyin, gritted his teeth and smashed the door frame heavily...

At this time, in Duan Wang's mansion, Zhou Chengrui was sitting in the back garden, and the pot of Autumn Dew White that had been warmed up on the stone table suddenly became completely cold again.

In this winter, even the autumn chrysanthemums are gradually withering all over the place, and the curled up petals of different colors are entangled with each other...

Zhou Chengrui's usual warm face lacked the usual gentle smile at this time.

Under the light beam of the jade crown, the half-hanging black hair lightly brushed over the dark embroidery of lotus patterns on the shoulders in the instant the wind passed by.

The fine wine in the jade cup in his hand is already cold, and the coolness on his fingertips is very strong.

Like the sneer at the corner of his mouth, when his slender peach eyes were half-closed, he stared intently at the clear autumn dew in the jade cup.

At this moment, Yan Rang came in a hurry, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, those Anxi people are really restless! They have been searching Luoyang City secretly these few days."

Zhou Chengrui took a sip of the cold wine in the glass, and then slowly poured the wine at his feet.

The few petals were washed away by the wine, and they scattered.

Zhou Chengrui looked down at the trembling petals, without raising his head, he said, "They are looking for Luo Si."

Yan Rang was taken aback, "My lord, Luo Si has disappeared now! What if he is found out by the Anxi people and he confesses to the lord?"

Zhou Chengrui was silent for a moment, then smiled gently and said, "How do you think...the people from Anxi can't find someone that even the king can find?"

Yan Rang was still puzzled, "My lord, are you not worried that Luo Si will fall into the hands of others?"

Zhou Chengrui smiled without saying a word.

If he always does things that others can easily get hold of, then he, Duan Wang, can really let go of his ambition...

Afterwards, he realized that Jiang Jinyan made a fool of himself in the matter of Zhongyonghou!
What a delicate daughter of the Hou family!

This woman is truly extraordinary...

The smile on the corner of his mouth grew stronger.

On the second day, news of He Lanjin's becoming a nobleman came to Jing'an Hou Mansion.

When Jiang Jinyan heard the news, he was playing with Xiao Jincheng in the house.

Xiao Jincheng became heavier again, and began to crawl on the ground.

The main house in the Dongci Room had already been covered with thick lichen under Jiang Jinyan's order. Even at this time, Jiang Jinyan had ordered the earth dragon to be burned.

And Xue Yan, who came back from the front yard, vividly described the appearance of the eldest aunt when she heard the news, and then she laughed: "Miss, it is said that among this group of beautiful girls, Miss Biao has won the first place! "

Yu Mo also put down the needle and thread in his hand, "Oh? It seems that my aunt has to go over there to burn incense..."

Seeing Yumo looking in the direction of Yicui Pavilion, Xueyan said without anger: "Maybe it's the jewelry that our lady gave her. The Holy Majesty is looking at the joy. Don't you know what Wang is planning at this time? Good son It's gone, I want to see how she can jump around!"

Jiang Jinyan said with a smile: "Yicui Pavilion can't find any water, even if the aunt wants to thank her, the Wang family can't get anything..."

However, He Lan was able to become a nobleman so quickly, which was beyond his expectations. I'm afraid the Wang family really meant to use He Lan...

Just as he was talking, Mother Xu brought the little beggar into the house after making a notification.

The little beggar had already changed into a servant's clean clothes.

After washing his face, he turned out to be very handsome. Although he was only eight or nine years old, his stature was already much taller than children of the same age.

Even Xueyan almost didn't recognize him.

Seeing the little beggar standing there in a daze, Mother Xu hurriedly gave him a slight push, "I've seen you, please salute!"

Unexpectedly, the little beggar was stunned for a long time before kneeling straight on the ground, "Thank you, Miss."

Jiang Jinyan smiled and shook his head, "Get up, what's your name?"

The little beggar thought for a moment.

Xu's mother thought to herself that this child's brain is really not working!Thinking about it, he pushed him with his hand.

He quickly withdrew his thoughts, "My name is Jin Yuan."

Jiang Jinyan nodded, looked at Mother Xu again and said, "Has he used all the medicines he took these two days?"

Xu's mother nodded, "It's all been used. Miss Yu has sent someone to deliver a letter today, saying that she will come to check his pulse after lunch."

Jiang Jinyan nodded, thinking of the woman again, she said to Jin Yuan who was standing beside her, "I will ask Guanshi Jiang to take you out of the city later today to offer incense sticks to my relatives."

Jin Yuan thought of the woman who blocked the knife for him, and his heart tightened. How had he ever been treated like this? !

Maybe the woman is someone close to her body?
He sniffed and nodded emphatically.

At this time, Xinxin, who was shrunk into a ball in the small box beside him, was also awakened. It recognized that the person standing there was the person who had hurt him, and immediately turned up and looked at Jin Yuan unkindly, even the hair on his back stood up. ...

At this time, Jin Yuan also felt a little uncomfortable. When he saw the white cat, he was too alert, so he shot directly...

Looking at the cat standing in the bamboo frame covered with a thick fox fur mattress, it must be the young lady's favorite.

He raised his head and said in a very low voice, "It's my fault."

Jiang Jinyan glanced at him, and seeing that there was indeed regret in his eyes, she shook her head slightly, "It's okay, but after you hurt him, I'm afraid it will be difficult to gain his trust."

As he said that, Jiang Jinyan said to Xue Yan beside him, "Take Xinxin to the side room."

Xueyan snorted slightly at Jin Yuan, then picked up the small bamboo frame where he was lying carefully, and carried him to the ear room beside him.

Jin Yuan looked at Jiang Jin thoughtfully and said nothing. Although this woman's appearance was bright, it always made him feel indescribably clean and clear. When she suppressed that appearance, she added elegance. It was an indescribable feeling. .

But she didn't have the frailty that a woman should have at all, and she could even speak loudly...

At this time, in the bamboo forest side courtyard of Duke Anguo's mansion, the two men bowed and saluted the man standing by the window with his backhands.

One of the guys in blue took a step forward and said, "Master, that man went around Luoyang City many times, and finally entered Shixiang Tower, with a very cautious look on his face."

Xu Junyan thought for a moment, "Have you sent someone to keep an eye on Shixianglou?"

The two guys nodded.

Xu Junyan pursed his lips slightly, "I'll report when I have any news."

Just as the two guys were about to bow and retreat, Xu Junyan said, "Wait a minute... Let Lao Wen send a piece of high-quality black iron that is being recycled."

The two of them were stunned for a moment, the master wanted to forge a sword?
"Master, it's better to let Shopkeeper Wen forge it for you."

He said lightly: "No need, just send it over."

Thinking of the girl holding the hairpin and facing the sword, his eyes darkened for a moment.

She is stubborn.

But if he wasn't by that girl's side and couldn't protect her, wouldn't this hairpin forged from black iron be of some use?
