Pastoral Jiaoyi's mother and father are here

Chapter 117
Town King's Mansion
Xiling Yan went to the Royal Garden with Gu Xiangsi to visit Sunset West Mountain, and then reluctantly left the palace and returned to the mansion, where people called Ye Wuyue to Biboju.

Ye Wuyue didn't know what happened, but followed Zhao Sheng to Mingyue Garden in Biboju, and entered the study in the west courtyard.

Zhao Sheng more or less, it was Mo Yun who heard something.well!Young Master Ye is really unlucky, why did he get targeted by the eldest princess Huayang?

Xiling Yan was sitting behind the desk, writing something, handed it to Mo Yun after finishing writing, and said solemnly: "You can't investigate this matter publicly, you can only investigate it secretly without disturbing anyone."

"Yes, my lord." Mo Yun took the hand of the lord and put it into his arms, before turning around to leave, he silently bowed to Ye Wuyue who came in, and then walked out.

Lie Feng stood guard at the door, and after Mo Yun left, he closed the door of the study casually.

Xiling Yan got up and walked out of the desk, bypassed the screen and left the east room, walked into the open hall, and invited Ye Wuyue to take her seat.

Ye Wuyue walked over, flicked his sleeves and sat down on the right side of the Arhat bed, looked at the handsome and noble prince opposite, frowned slightly and asked: "Please come down, sir, but master has something to say?"

"Your master has nothing to tell you, I just let the king give you a sentence." Xi Lingyan sat on the right side of the Arhat bed, holding a white porcelain pot with a big belly in her bony hands, warming the cup and ironing the secret color gracefully and smoothly. A small teapot with porcelain bamboo pattern, take out the tea leaves in the bamboo tube, wash them and brew them.

Afterwards, Ye Wuyue patiently watched the prince make two cups of tea without taking the trouble, and it took at least a quarter of an hour, which is really a nobleman's leisurely enjoyment.

Like in those years when he was a doctor in his previous life, he could rarely even drink hot water. Most of the mineral water was poured down to quench his thirst. How can there be any time in the United States to drink this kind of Kung Fu tea?
Xiling Yan didn't think it was troublesome at all, she spent a lot of effort to make two cups of tea, one cup was handed to Ye Wuyue who was opposite, and he took a sip of the cup calmly, closing his eyes and eyes in enjoyment, his thin lips lightly Qi said lightly: "Your master told you to be careful of Xiling Aomei. Today she boldly asked the queen mother to marry you two, but the emperor stopped Yizhi from leaving the palace in time, and she failed to get her wish. Later..."

Ye Wuyue waited patiently for the prince's next words. In fact, he was not worried that Xiling Aomei would plot to harm him, but felt that the prince's noble and elegant demeanor when he was not cold, and his soft and slow voice If the sound of clear springs resounds clear and clear, it still makes people fascinated.

Sure enough, if a beauty can be as beautiful as this, it's no wonder that the master is so obsessed that he insists on marrying him.

Even he, he also admired the quiet beauty of this prince, who was as alive as a jade man, so exquisite and flawless, as quiet as a painting.

"Your master said, for your safety, during this period of time, you will edit the medical books for her in the mansion, and she will have to check them later." How did Xi Lingyan know that Ye Wuyue was simply absent-minded? Appreciating his beauty, after saying these words, he slowly opened those phoenix eyes that looked like lacquer, and the slender jade hands with well-defined bones held the secret-colored porcelain teacup in his hand, took another sip of tea calmly, and then Looking at the pot of ink orchids on the flower stand in the corner of the room, she said with thin lips, "Huayang has always been willful. Even if you hide in the King's Mansion and don't go out, you may not be kidnapped by her. After all, The imperial secret guards are all very skilled. It is still very easy to enter a house and take someone away."

After Ye Wuyue listened to the prince's words to scare him, he drank his tea calmly and asked casually: "The prince's house is so unsafe, does Master know?"

"No one dares to touch this king's concubine, unless he wants to die." Xiling Yan's good mood for drinking tea was completely ruined by Ye Wuyue's words. Since the tea can't be drunk, the guests can Get out.

As soon as Ye Wuyue saw that the prince was displeased and about to chase away the guests, he drank the cup of tea in one go, put the cup back on the small table on the Arhat bed, stood up and bowed with his hands: "Master, Master Yu A As far as Yue is concerned, he is a teacher for one day and a 'mother' for life. And Master...you are like Ah Yue's father, how can you stand by and watch when your son is in trouble! Master!"

Xilingyan leaned at him in disgust, and after a while, she withdrew her gaze and said indifferently: "Go back and clean up. From tonight, you will move to Biboju for a temporary stay. After the limelight, you will go back to your house." courtyard."

"Thank you, master! It's just..." Ye Wuyue cupped her hands and bowed in a big salute, then looked at his beautiful master with a worried face, shook her head and sighed: "Master, master, you say master She's not at home, but I've moved in to live with you, this lonely man... won't be gossiped later, right?"

He will never forget that ancient people knew how to play, such as Longyang Jun, broken sleeve addiction, love for peaches, etc., but there are countless of them from ancient times to the present.

"If you are afraid that people's gossip will ruin your reputation, this king can put you in the dungeon of the palace. It's safe and won't cause people to gossip, what do you think?" Xiling's phoenix eyes seemed to be frosty, cold Looking at him earnestly, and waiting for him to nod to go to the dungeon, he can be more relieved.

"Hehe...the dungeon is free, I'd better live with my master, there are so many people, isn't it lonely?" Ye Wuyue didn't dare to provoke Xi Lingyan anymore, and after paying her respects, she turned around and left immediately.

This master is too serious to take a joke at all.

Xiling Yan watched Ye Wuyue leave, and then ordered Lie Feng: "Send dark guards to protect him day and night, and don't allow any suspicious people to approach him."

"Yes, my lord." Lie Feng clasped his sword and saluted, then retreated to make arrangements.

Xiling Yan sat alone in the study room, her face was extremely cold, she swung her sleeves and closed the door, got up and walked to the east room, walked to the desk and sat down, picked up a pen and wrote several secret orders.

Empress Dowager Li has not made any further moves in recent years, so that the suspicion in his heart at the beginning is hard to prove.

Now, Empress Dowager Li is becoming restless again.

Perhaps, it was the person behind her who contacted her again?
He eradicated many of Prince Kang Gan's remnants every year, but he never found their lair.

Even some important people have never been caught.

I hope this time, we can find out a powerful helmsman from Queen Mother Li's side!

……

next day
Xia Jinhua was taken into the palace by someone from the palace.

Now Baiweiju lost the storyteller, but Li Haoyue was so worried, she had no choice but to temporarily arrest Ye Linfeng, who came to Baiweiju for the teeth-beating ceremony, and let him stand on stage for noon.

Anyway, there are storytellers in Baiweiju at noon, and at night there are only some banquet guests on the second floor. They want to listen to pipa and erhu playing and singing, unlike the guests on the first floor, who like to listen to stories.

What book will Ye Linfeng say?Didn't he just want to eat a roast duck?Why do you have to let him talk about the food?
It's not that he has no money to eat, so does he need to earn money by performing arts?

But this is a restaurant where the princess also has a share, if he doesn't show face to the princess, he will be deliberately retaliated by the prince in the end.

well!Life is hard!Earning a living is not easy.

In this way, Ye Linfeng was forced to stay in Baiweiju to tell stories, but Xia Jinhua entered the palace, and was politely invited to the Purple Palace all the way.

Xia Jinhua had already guessed that he had the opportunity to enter the palace this time, and it must be related to Gu Xiangsi.

Perhaps it was because the palace was too boring, Gu Xiangsi recommended him to the emperor Xilingchu to write a book in order to relieve the boredom of the pregnant Queen Zhao?
The main hall of the Purple Palace was full of seats. Xiling Chu and Empress Zhao sat on the left and right sides of the arhat bed on the main seat, and under the left hand sat the fourth concubine and nine concubines in turn.

On the lower right hand side are Xiling Yan and Gu Xiangsi, followed by King Suning, King Huai'an, and Princess Huayang.

There are quite a lot of people and it is very lively.

As for the kids?But Zhao Deshun and Zhao Momo took her down to play.

Wen Yan hid in the kitchen, she didn't want to see Wen's family yet.

Rourou sat beside King Suning's Xilingque with some absent-mindedness. He thought that he would see Wen Yan when he entered the palace today, but unexpectedly, the concubine of Zhen Wang really cared about Wen Yan and even hid Wen Yan.

Xiling Que is two years younger than Xiling Chu, and he is already 22 or [-] years old. He has a fair, clean face and elegant appearance. When he is silent, it is easy for people to regard him as a gentle prince.

But in fact, he was a ridiculous prince who didn't like his father. When he was 13 years old, he was drunk and defiled the daughter of a minister.

In order to calm down the matter and save the face of the royal family, his father gave them a marriage, and made a daughter of a fifth-rank Beijing official a prince and concubine.

The former Princess Suning also had a hard life, because of the palace banquet that night, she became pregnant and gave birth to a son at the age of 14, the son of the Suning Palace——Xiling Bu.

Half a year after giving birth, he died of depression.

At that time, the fathers of Xiling Chu and Xiling Que passed away, and even the funeral of the former Princess Suning was rushed.

Later, Chu Tai in Xiling was furious that his younger brother did not live up to expectations, so he ordered him not to be a concubine for three years, and he had the right to apologize to his poor sister-in-law.

This is why it took so long for Xiling Que to marry the second princess.

Three years later, at the age of 17, Xiling Que was introduced by someone and wanted to marry the daughter of the Wen family's prostitute as the second princess.

But Wen Yan was only 13 years old at that time, and she couldn't accept that she was asked to be a stepmother to a child, so she self-destructed later on.

Thinking about it carefully, this Xiling Que is quite a jerk, and it is quite suitable to match Wen Wen, a scheming girl.

As for King Huai'an Xilingdu, he was the exact opposite of his older brother Xilingque.

Xiling is an extremely affectionate and infatuated person. In order to marry a girl, he waited from 14 years old. Finally, when the girl was 15 years old and wanted to marry him, he personally invited ten famous people to come to propose marriage. Uncle was forced to kneel outside the study for an hour, and his heart softened at the begging.

It's not because of the noble background of his princess, it's because this woman has a father with a weird temper, who has always been reluctant for her daughter to get married, so he just wanted to find a commoner for her daughter to live a stable monogamous life.

However, a royal prince like Xilingdu is not among the candidates considered by the doctor's son-in-law.

In order to get his father-in-law to agree to marry his daughter to him, Xilingdu even asked his imperial brother for an imperial decree.

He even cried and knelt outside the Hall of Qinzheng for several hours, forcing his imperial brother to agree to publish the imperial decree as the imperial list and post it all over the world to show his determination to have only one wife in this life.

Xilingchu faced his younger brothers and sisters, he thought he would beat them to death.

One is more irritating than the other, and now even the youngest sister is going to piss him off to death.

Standing in the hall, Xia Jinhua waved his fan carelessly, talking up and down about a wonderful "Havoc in Heaven" show.

After listening to this weird story, Empress Zhao whispered to Xilingchu, "These stories are really fresh, I have never heard of them before."

"Aunt Sixteen must have collected it from somewhere again, she! She just likes these weird books." Xilingchu and Queen Zhao laughed softly, but they kept staring at his younger sister.

Xiling Aomei didn't know Xia Jinhua, because she had never been to Baiweiju for dinner, but had asked Bitao to go to Baiweiju to sell shaved ice a few times.

Seeing Xia Jinhua for the first time, she was really a little surprised, because this person's temperament is so good.

Like the uninhibited waterfall flowing straight down in the mountains, and like a bluegrass hidden in the mist in the bamboo forest.

It's more like a cold moon in the night sky, soft with a touch of coldness and alienation.

Gu Xiangsi knew that a man like Xia Jinhua was more attractive to conquering women than Ye Wuyue.

Xia Jinhua gave people the impression that he was always gentle but not enthusiastic, easy-going but alienated, treating people with aloofness, as if inadvertently, always exuding a hint of seduction that seemed vaguely absent.

In Gu Xiangsi's eyes, this man is a white fox looking for food in the snow, always using his beautiful appearance to seduce the prey hidden around him.

This is also the reason why she doesn't like him more and more, because...she doesn't want to keep a vixen in the store at all, especially if this vixen is a man.

In this era, if one is not careful, big troubles can easily happen.

After all, this girl is seducing a big girl and a young wife!Can she just sit back and let this happen in Baiweiju?

After Xia Jinhua finished talking about "Havoc in Heaven", he turned his attention to Gu Xiangsi, and she gave him a play card. He didn't dare to make his own opinion on what to say next.

Look, none of the nobles sitting here is something he can offend.

When Xiling Aomei saw this man's eyes looking at Gu Xiangsi, she couldn't help but feel a little bit hungry again.

Why?How can Gu Xiangsi, a married woman who is also the mother of two children, still seduce so many men to like her?

And how could she be inferior to Gu Xiangsi?Even though she is younger than Gu Xiangsi, more noble than Gu Xiangsi, and more talented than Gu Xiangsi, why is she not as attractive as her?
Gu Xiangsi was satisfied to see Xiling Aomei's undisguised jealousy, she smiled lightly and looked at Xia Jinhua and said: "Let's talk about another episode of "Golden House Cangjiao"! Just talk about the first part, and don't need to talk about the latter part." Yes. After all, the good food in the small kitchen will be ready in a while."

The story between Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che and his cousin Chen Ajiao is quite good.

As for "Nagato Palace" later on, tsk tsk tsk!It's a tragedy, let alone mention it.

"Yes." Xia Jinhua clasped the fan and bowed, then turned around to fold the fan and opened it, and then talked about this romantic story of childhood sweetheart with emotion.

Anyway, don't listen to the part of "Nagato Palace" later, this is a deep and affectionate childhood sweetheart, a destined match.

"Havoc in Heaven" is a very lively drama, but "Golden House Cangjiao" is a beautiful story that makes a girl emotional.

After a story was told, everyone applauded again.

Xiling Aomei, the savage little princess, smiled yearningly and said: "Childhood sweetheart, hidden in a golden house, is really a beautiful story. Every woman in the world probably wants to marry such a husband, right?"

Xia Jinhua bowed his hands and said nothing.If the story was good, Gu Xiangsi wouldn't just let him tell this one paragraph.

Seeing that it was almost the same, Xiling Chu waved his hand and said, "Retire and receive the reward!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward!" Xia Jinhua saluted, then turned and left.

Gu Xiangsi once again confirmed that Xia Jinhua was a well-educated person since he was a child, and he was definitely not as simple as his superficial identity, just an ordinary scholar in civilian clothes.

What I said today is to invite everyone to taste delicious food. Naturally, we can't just listen to books without delicious food.

The dishes served this time are all new dishes from Baiweiju.

There are a total of ten dishes, and each person's share is not too much, except that the whole dish is one or one per table...

The rest of the dishes are all a little hearty, which is the portion of the banquet in the palace, just taste it.

Empress Zhao had been having a poor appetite for the past few days, and she was always feeling sick, and she couldn't bear even a little greasy food.

But in the past few days, she went out to take a walk in the small garden of the Purple Palace, and occasionally some children came to run around in the Purple Palace. She is in good health, in a good mood, and has a good appetite.

For example, this chicken dish today, she ate very well.

"What a delicious dish. It's the first time I've heard that fish and mutton can be cooked together?" Xiling Chuke was really curious about what kind of dishes his Sixteenth Aunt knew.

Gu Xiangsi pretended not to see Xiling Chu's gaze. She was tired all morning before processing the ingredients, and specially asked Xiling Yan to bring two cooks from King Zhen's Mansion into the palace. It took five pots and several stoves to make these ten delicious dishes that were served while they were hot.

People in the palace couldn't eat well, and it was too far away from the imperial kitchen, so the hot dishes brought in in winter were cold.

It's really greasy to eat, even if the palace uses rapeseed oil instead of lard, the dish will be unpalatable when it's cold.

so!No matter how superb the imperial chef's cooking skills are, he still can't cook the best delicacies.

The reason why she asked Empress Zhao to have a banquet in the Purple Palace today was because she wanted to use the small kitchen of the Purple Palace to cook, so that the dishes could be served piping hot without losing the deliciousness of the dishes.
