Thin Mei·Love Fragrance Quilt

Chapter 120

On the morning of the second day, Tang Tianxiao secretly summoned Zhuo Rui in Dongnuange.

When Zhuo Rui arrived, he was silently playing with a mahogany comb in his hand, looking a bit haggard.

The semi-circular comb ridge, flowing cloud pattern, simple and simple, is used by ordinary folks.

After seeing the ceremony, Tang Tianxiao asked: "Zhuo Rui, are you sure that the Concubine Shu you welcome back is Princess Kezhu?"

Zhuo Rui was startled, and replied: "I'm sure."

"How can you be sure?"

Zhuo Rui hesitated for a moment before answering: "When I arrived, Princess Kezhu was not there. I have inquired about this princess' character and temperament in many ways, and they were all consistent with Princess Kezhu who came back from hunting the snow leopard. And... Princess Kezhu has excellent looks and extraordinary martial arts skills. Many noble children in Beihe admire her. Even though they knew that she would go to Dazhou to get married, some teenagers still expressed their love to her, and some noble children tried to persuade Queen Mother Li to replace her with other princesses. She got married. These people have known Princess Kezhu for a long time, so of course they won't admit their mistake."

"She is what these people are used to. Otherwise, how could she be so arrogant?"

Tang Tianxiao snorted disapprovingly, and said again, "I didn't mean to ask if she had been dropped by the Beihe people, but to know if she was the daughter of the King Kezhu whose clan was exterminated back then. I remember , you also said that after she was rescued, she was not sober for three or four months, and finally woke up, and she couldn't remember anything before, so how did she know that she was Princess Kezhu?"

Zhuo Rui murmured: "Someone in Beihe must have recognized her, right? She was born very well, if someone saw her, she must be deeply impressed."

"It's possible. But it's impossible to say that someone deliberately turned a deer into a horse and gave her this identity while Kezhu was exterminating her family."

"Calling a deer into a horse? This...impossible? What if someone exposes it?"

"But Zhudu's family is extinct, who will expose her? Besides, she was born beautifully, likable, and won the favor of Queen Mother Bei Heli. Even if someone finds something is wrong, she will not do such thankless things. .”

Zhuo Rui became more puzzled when he heard it, and couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, can I ask you why the Emperor is interested in whether she is the exterminated Princess Kezhu?"

But when the candle department was extinguished, it had been declining day by day, and it was of no value to Beihe or Dazhou.

The two countries took her for marriage not because she was the daughter of King Kezhu, but because she was the adopted daughter favored by Queen Mother Li of Beihe and the adopted sister of King Beihe.

Tang Tianxiao lost his mind for a while, rubbed his temples and smiled slightly, and said, "It's really not important. Maybe it's because I'm overthinking? I think...she's probably Han."

"Han Chinese? Impossible?"

Tang Tianxiao pondered: "In her dream, she recalled what happened before she was 12 years old, calling her mother in the Central Plains dialect. She also said that when she woke up from a serious injury, she forgot the Beihe dialect... In fact, she didn't forget Beihe dialect, but she only knew Central Plains dialect before."

Zhuo Rui seemed relieved, and asked: "Concubine Shu herself said that she forgot Beihe's words when she woke up?"

Tang Tianxiao understood, and smiled easily, and said, "That's right. She never thought that she might not be Princess Kezhu. No matter who puts the title of Princess Kezhu on her head, she probably didn't intend to use her original identity to do something. Anything that is not good for me or Da Zhou. Otherwise, even if she can't remember her past, someone should have told her earlier, so she wouldn't be so stupid to take the initiative to report clues for me to investigate."

He paused, and said to himself: "Actually, it doesn't matter who she is, as long as she treats me wholeheartedly, that's enough."

"But Concubine Shu...Of course she wholeheartedly treats the emperor." Zhuo Rui smiled and asked again, "Then do you want to investigate this matter?"

"I still need to check, otherwise I will always feel uneasy."

He frowned and thought, "If she is really Han... I really can't imagine what kind of family would give birth to such a monster?"

Zhuo Rui said: "If she is a Han, she has good martial arts at the age of 12, either from the officialdom, from a family of generals; or from the Jianghu, from a family of martial arts."

Tang Tianxiao was suddenly enlightened, and smiled unconsciously: "This sounds like it. How does this girl look like a daughter of a famous family? It is clearly Ren Xia's temperament! If her family was involved in a vendetta and lost her parents and relatives, a seriously injured little girl If there is no place to arrange it, it is very likely that some high-ranking fathers will take advantage of the Kezhu chaos to replace her, and from then on, she will be honored and honored, and someone will take good care of her, so it doesn't matter if she doesn't remember the past."

Ever since he heard Ke Qianmei call out "Mother" at night, he felt uneasy and very uneasy.

But if it is inferred in this way, Qian Mei not only has nothing to do with Bei He, but also has nothing to do with Da Zhou.

She was already his Concubine Shu, even if she was born as a bandit, it would give him more peace of mind than some royal princess or daughter of a famous family.

Zhuo Rui was about to say something, but when he saw his relief, he hesitated and shut his mouth.

Tang Tianxiao murmured and said again: "Ask the imperial physician to change her prescription! She's so troublesome, she doesn't want to wake up. It's fine to change it to any tonic, or a medicine that is opposite to the current medicine. In short, don't hurt her body, don't Do it too clearly for her to find out."

Zhuo Rui responded, and said: "I also asked someone to investigate further. If I have a clue, I will immediately report back and forth to the emperor."

Tang Tianxiao nodded and said: "If it is found out that her background is not good, don't tell her. Let her...be alive!"

Thinking of how she always looked proud and conceited because she was the princess of Beihe, he smiled lightly again before he felt it, and slowly put the comb into his sleeve.

--------------------------------------------
Tang Tianxiao was young and strong, and Ke Qianmei ran to talk and laugh regardless. She relaxed her mind a little, and soon her body gradually recovered.

At this time, there were rumors in the palace that the death of Concubine Yuwen was related to Empress Shen, with the intention of blaming Concubine Shu.When Empress Shen heard about it, she took the opportunity to defend herself first. Tang Tianxiao scoffed, thinking that the matter of chasing rumors should be ignored.

But Qianmei had been waiting for the answer to the mystery set by Concubine Yuwen, but Tang Tianxiao didn't want to mention it, and it was very quiet inside and outside the court, so she couldn't understand it for a while.

It's July, but Qian Mei thinks it's too boring to stay in the palace for a whole summer, so she discusses with Tang Tianxiao and wants to go out of the palace for a walk.

Tang Tianxiao said: "Wait for the weather to cool down! Look at the other concubines, they are not willing to go out in the palace, and you still want to go out of the palace. I'm not afraid that the sun will turn you into black charcoal!"

But Qianmei laughed and said: "They are fair, then you go to them, why bother to accompany me, a black charcoal head, every day!"

Tang Tianxiao lay on the bamboo couch and didn't bother to pay attention to her.

But Qian Mei said: "If you are afraid of the heat, why don't we go to the lotus pond! Hiding under the lotus and sailing a boat, covering your face with lotus leaves, it must be cool."

Tang Tianxiao was taken aback, and said with a wry smile: "Then it's better to leave the palace!"

Ke Qianmei grabbed his hand and gave him a high-five, and said with a smile, "It's a deal!"

Tang Tianxiao was stunned, and sighed: "When Chunchun wanted to leave the palace, he knew how to please me in a different way. Now you are forcing me?"

Ke Qianmei shyly said, "Then... what do you want?"

"How about, let's change the way..."

He hooked her and sat in his arms, leaning over to her ear, his voice getting lower and lower, and his smile getting bigger and bigger.

But Qianmei felt that his body seemed to be heating up with his words, and her white teeth were shining brightly, like a wild wolf scurrying through the snowy desert at night...

She was terrified and screamed, "No way!"

"is it?"

"Well, let me go..."

No one knows whether it will work or not in the end.

An hour later, when Xiang'er was called into the room to clean up, Tang Tianxiao was already dressed and sitting at the table drinking tea, refreshed and relaxed.

But Ke Qianmei was lying limply on the mat with her messy little clothes on, her expression resentful and listless.

The silver basin that was originally on the shelf rolled onto the gold bricks, and half of the basin of clear water was spilled all over the floor; but the long whip that Qian Mei never left her body but seldom used was accidentally not placed with her coat, like a snake sloughing off. Dropped on wet ground.

This time the teapot and teacup were in the same place, but the jug of wine on the other side of the table ran to the bed, and it was already empty.

Tang Tianxiao asked, "Are you happy?"

Ke Qianmei replied listlessly: "It hurts very much, the faster it hurts, the more painful it will be."

Tang Tianxiao walked over to scratch her nose and said, "Who told you not to make me happy? Seeing that you are usually eloquent, but at critical times, you are clumsy and clumsy!"

But Qian Mei was so hurt that she almost burst into tears, but she was powerless to refute, and she was aggrieved and limp at the table without saying a word.

--------------------------------------------
Empress Dowager Xuan heard some rumors and didn't interfere. She just called Tang Tianxiao and asked him, "When will my grandson be born?"

Tang Tianxiao hesitated for a while, then replied, "My son, I'll try to find a way."

But since Concubine Yuwen passed away, he only stayed with Ke Qianmei. Even though he sometimes slept alone in the Qianyuan Hall, Ke Qianmei thought that there were two beauties around, either in the open or in the dark, and they would come over to have a look.

He has been acting cautiously lately, several highly skilled guards are on duty in shifts, if they see her sneaking in, at most they will let her know quietly, but they will not stop her.

She was so tightly entwined that it was gradually difficult for Empress Shen to see Tang Tianxiao.Occasionally, even she could spot the perfunctory behind his amiable appearance.

But in this way, the sons and grandsons of Empress Dowager Xuan can only count on Ke Qianmei's belly.

Tang Tianxiao then asked her: "When will you give birth to Feng'er? It's really not possible, Hu'er is fine too."

Ke Qianmei touched her flat belly and said, "Maybe she is pregnant?"

Tang Tianxiao silently calculated her monthly affairs and gave her a glare.

Ke Qianmei laughed and said, "I'll coax you to be happy, can't I?"

Tang Tianxiao said helplessly, "OK..."

But Qianmei also knew that he was pushed hard by the Queen Mother, but she refused to push him to other concubines, she just thought to herself: "We were together yesterday! Maybe there will be a peak right now!" Hu'er or Hu'er is in the stomach, it's just not grown up!"

Tang Tianxiao was speechless.

But he did have ideas.

He personally went to the Daxiangguo Temple to fast and pray for blessings, and it is said that he wanted his offspring to prosper.

He wanted to find a dragon heir who could inherit the great line, but he took concubine Shu to pray for blessings, and left the empress in the middle palace behind.

Following the death of Imperial Concubine Yuwen, after a grand birthday banquet, the originally revered Empress Shen fell out of favor.

-------------------------------------------

When the emperor's brigade Luanjia was stationed at Daxiangguo Temple, Tang Tianxiao had already appeared at the market in Ruidu City with Ke Qianmei.

Tang Tianxiao was dressed in literati attire, gentle, refined and handsome. He seemed to be a delicate and noble son from a scholarly family with no strength to restrain a chicken. He could not tell that he was skilled in martial arts;

But Qian Mei wore a refreshing falling pony bun, fastened it with a jadeite hairpin studded with pearls, and was dressed in a sky blue thin shirt, and her attire was also simple.Zhuo Rui and Chen Cai who followed were still in the attire of ordinary people.

When it comes to their attire, they are not outstanding; but with a woman like Ke Qianmei, it is hard not to be outstanding.

She comes from a foreign land, and she doesn't have such a strong concept of male and female defense. Seeing passers-by frequently looking back, she even smiles and is quite contented.

Tang Tianxiao had nothing to do with her, so he didn't look at her attracting bees and butterflies, and only cared about the people's livelihood in the city.

Jiangnan was originally a land of fish and rice. In the past few years, Tang Tianxiao had stopped fighting and paid little attention to taxes. The capital, Ruidu, was even more prosperous and prosperous.

They rode horses all the way, but they saw that among the six gates and nine alleys, the courtyards were facing each other, the crowns and covers were gathered together, and the brocade clothes and clouds were combined, which was already a sign of prosperity and great rule.

Tang Tianxiao smiled at Ke Qianmei in a low voice: "Qianmei, believe it or not, after a thousand years, your husband-in-law will be the most legendary emperor in history!"

Ke Qianmei nodded and said: "That's right. Traveling in low clothes, lingering in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, and even falling in love with princesses of foreign races, those storytellers will break out a legend even if they break it."

Tang Tianxiao was so angry that he quietly grabbed a small strand of hair hanging from her back, and tugged hard.

But Qian Mei screamed in pain, and when she was about to rush over to fight, Tang Tianxiao laughed and patted her horse and fled away.

Zhuo Rui and Chen Cai saw these two people chasing around on the street like urchins, the emperor was not like the emperor, and the concubine was not like a concubine, they couldn't help but look at each other with wry smiles, so they had to secretly order the accompanying hidden guards to be extra vigilant, so as not to be seen through. , giving birth to unexpected changes.

After shopping around, I found a restaurant and went in to ask, but there were no single rooms.When it was time to find another one, the shop clerk smiled and said: "At this time, there are the most customers, and the other one is probably gone. Our upstairs is quite quiet, and we have a seat by the window, where we can see the scenery of half of Ruidu city!" What's more, our family has a few new dishes passed down from Beihe, which cannot be tasted by other families."

Tang Tianxiao turned his head and saw Ke Qianmei's eyes shining, and said with a smile: "Okay, then let's try that new dish!"

There are a lot of guests upstairs.When they were away from home, they didn't care about many etiquettes, so Zhuo Rui and others also sat down together.

Tang Tianxiao looked at Ruidu City under his control from a distance, but Qianmei and the others were very interested in the Beihe dishes introduced by Xiao Er.

Not long after, several dishes arrived, but it was a plate of roast beef, a bowl of brisket soup and a plate of cheese.

But Qianmei tasted it, and was immediately disappointed, and said: "What kind of Beihe cuisine is this? When will I go back to Beihe for a while. The cattle and sheep, fine wine and young men there are all first-class."

Tang Tianxiao said: "This is also easy, I will take you there every few years, and by the way, you can see those young boys from Beihe that you have been dreaming of."

Ke Qianmei was taken aback, and asked, "Ah, how to get there?"

Tang Tianxiao said grimly: "Call it over!"

But Qianmei kept silent, and waved Xiaoer over to order other signature dishes.

While waiting for the food to be served, I heard a leisurely singing from the stairs:

Don't get drunk before flowers, flowers should make people laugh.

It should only rain overnight, and another spring will pass.

There are endless things every day, but only a limited body.

If it wasn't for the wine in the glass, why would you send your innocence...

When a few people looked back, it was a divination Taoist who wobbled up.

Xiaoer hurriedly stopped him: "Hey, you Taoist priest, why did you come here? Go back to your street to find customers!"

The Taoist smiled and said, "I'm not looking for a client, I'm your client today."

"This……"

"The old man wants to eat, can't he come up?"

Xiao Er looked him over and over again, and said: "In this restaurant, we have to pay the bill first and then eat."
