Chapter 56

Qingmei took another step back: "What do I know? I just guessed it that way. The gentleman is open and honest, did the prince do something shameful?"

Her appearance made Xie Yunzhao undecided, how much did she know?She... Xie Yunzhao felt that his mind was in a mess, and he heard a burst of laughter from not far behind. The fifth princess and the court ladies were walking towards here, and Xie Yunzhao immediately put some distance away from Qingmei.

"Hey, are you waiting for me?" The fifth princess joked, and then gave Xie Yunzhao a sideways glance—please, third brother, please be more reserved, okay? Don't force others into a corner all of a sudden, now that you're still in the palace anyway, if you really want something like that, well, just get married and go home.

Xie Yunzhao felt that today was really unlucky, so he pretended not to see the look in the eyes of the fifth princess, and stood aside automatically.The fifth princess smiled and pulled Qingmei out from the pillar in the corner, and sent her all the way out of the palace gate. During this time, Xie Yunzhao walked behind the two without saying a word.The carriage of the Lin Mansion outside the palace had been waiting for a long time, after bidding farewell to the fifth princess, Qing Mei boarded the carriage and returned home.

It was nearly Youshi, and the lights in the Lin Mansion had not yet been turned off.As soon as Qingmei was about to go back to the hospital, Zhang's mother drove her to the big house of the middle courtyard, and asked her to go to Lin Shangshu and Xu's house to make a job first.

Lin Shangshu and Mrs. Xu were obviously waiting for Qingmei, and Qingmei was slightly blessed, and without waiting for the two of them to open their mouths, they directly talked about all the big and small things about entering the palace today.

"The fifth princess is also here, and Prince Xie is also here..."

"My lord has gone too?" Mrs. Xu was very surprised, but she felt a little reckless as soon as she asked the question.Lin Shangshu gave her a sideways glance—what are you making such a fuss about.

Qingmei didn't care about it, she said to herself: "He has recovered from his injury, he will go to the palace to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager. If there is nothing else, my daughter will go back to the house."

"Go back, take a good rest after a busy day today." Lin Shangshu waved his hand.

After Qingmei left, the couple withdrew the maids and went into the back room. Mrs. Xu undressed Lin Shangshu and whispered: "Master, what is the purpose of the play that the Empress Dowager sang today?"

"It's hard to say. Mei'er saved the prince's life, and today the two met at the Empress Dowager's side by such a coincidence. I'm afraid things won't be that simple."

Xu could only feel her heart jumping, and there was a smile on her face: "Look at this posture, could it be that..." Before she could say the word "marriage", Lin Shangshu immediately interrupted her with his eyes: "Don't mess around!" think!"

Xu removed the sideburns and rolled up her long hair casually, "I'm not thinking of Mei'er. I thought it would be a blessing if I could marry into Anfu, but now it seems that our daughter's blessing is more than that. "

Lin Shangshu never thought of this, it is because Qingmei's marriage is so difficult, he lay down on the bed with Mrs Xu, and sighed: "There is no letter in the palace, and the Anfu side is also so stiff, if we are here Hesitating next time, I'm afraid it will be a waste of time to fetch water from a bamboo basket."

The bloody facts have proved that the consequence of stepping on two boats is to overturn the boat!

"Then what should we do?" Mrs. Xu stood up, "Qingmei is so active in this situation." Hey, sweet troubles are also troubles!
"Now we can only wait and see what happens. At home, you will strictly control the mouths of the servants. If anyone dares to talk about Mei'er's marriage, they will be locked up and beaten immediately. On the side of the Anfu... the prince fell off the horse before. It's too much to pursue, but this matter is enough for them to be busy for a while. If the palace really intends to refer to marriage, it should be settled in about a month. After this month, you can know the result. The days are still Live as usual, that is, Meier needs to be supervised on etiquette, no matter where she is married, whether she is a princess or a superhero, the rules must be well practiced."

"When you say that, I feel at ease." Mrs. Xu has already arranged the affairs of the mansion in her heart, and it can be carried out tomorrow.The big stone in his heart fell, but his hands began to gently caress Lin Shangshu's chest.Lin Shangshu squinted his eyes comfortably after being served, turned over, and the candles in the room were flickering.

Inside Prince Xie's mansion, Xie Yunzhao was still in the study.Manager Zhao stood aside and cut the candle wick again, "My lord, it's almost three o'clock. You can read this book tomorrow."

Xie Yunzhao looked at the paper next to his hand, which had the words Lin Qingmei written on it.At the end of the writing, the brushwork is messy, and it can be seen that the person who wrote it was upset.

He rubbed his neck and walked out of the study.The moonlight was just right outside the house, and the study was surrounded by a bamboo forest with green shadows and gurgling streams.The Qingxi River flows far away, and it is also a scene to sit quietly and enjoy the moon.It's a pity that he has no intention of being arty right now, Lin Qingmei's last words tonight made him vigilant.

Suzhou, he had been there a year ago.

Although the one there also belongs to the south, it is still a bit northerly in terms of location.At that time, it seemed that he had heard that there was a big worm in Xuchang County, Suzhou. Seeing that he was depressed, Wang Cen suggested to go and have a look.In the dense forest, the surroundings are dark and gloomy, Wang Cen, the bastard who said his ancestors were in Suzhou, lost his way!Fortunately, he met a hunter in the mountains, otherwise he would not know how many times he would follow Wang Cen around the mountains!
That Orion was carrying a crossbow on his back, a hemp rope around his waist, a dagger on his side, and his hair was tied in a bunch at the back of his head.And that face is clearly...

"Lin! Qing! Mei!"

Xie Yunzhao read in a low voice.

How could he have forgotten that face!With an indifferent expression, a trace of murderousness in the cold eyes, she was dissatisfied because they delayed her time by asking for directions, that expression of undisguised impatience and disgust, such an annoying person How could he forget it!

"I remember you have a nephew in Suzhou." Xie Yunzhao said quietly.

Guanshi Zhao on the side said: "Yes, it is a gift from the lord to let my nephew who is not up to date be a county lieutenant in Suzhou." Guanshi Zhao has followed Xie Yunzhao for many years, and Xie Yunzhao seldom mentioned the outsiders. I have something to tell, is Liu Xiang going to make a move in Suzhou?
"In that case, the king has something to trouble him."

Zhao Guanshi hurried to the front: "My lord, please tell me."

"Let him go to Xuchang County, Suzhou to investigate a person." For some reason, Xie Yunzhao suddenly smiled, "Lin Qingmei, the fourth daughter of the Lin Family, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, find out what she did in Suzhou. Every move must be reported to me. Keep the matter secret, don't tell anyone except the county lieutenant."

"Yes, I'll do it right now, my lord...you see it's getting late, you'd better rest early."

Manager Zhao's work efficiency was extremely high, within seven days, Qingmei's documents were placed on Xie Yunzhao's desk.One day when he hurried back home, he saw the piece of paper.

"Lin Qingmei, the fourth daughter of Lin Zhongchu, Minister of the Household Department..."

Xie Yunzhao, who originally read this secret letter with the intention of fighting the enemy, knowing himself and the enemy, was invincible, his heart gradually sank as he watched it.

"My lord..." Manager Zhao didn't dare to disturb him, but Xie Yunzhao had been sitting there with a piece of paper for almost an hour without even eating lunch. What's wrong?Since I went to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager seven days ago, it seems that I have added a lot of worries.

"Oh." Xie Yunzhao recovered, but his eyes returned to the letter in his hand.The girl was sent to Biezhuang by the Lin family when she was three years old, and she was not brought back until ten years later.As a prostitute, this kind of treatment is simply unheard of.The letter clearly stated that Lin Qingmei was weak since she was a child, and the climate in central Beijing was not conducive to recuperating, so she was sent to Suzhou Biezhuang, where she was accompanied by decoction, medicine and acupuncture all year round. Ill, I didn't invite my wife until I was six years old.

"This girl is as weak as Fu Liu, with a withdrawn personality, few words, and likes to be quiet..."

Xie Yunzhao only felt his temples twitch. Is it really Lin Qingmei written on this paper? !Just looking at this piece of paper, Miss Lin is definitely a pitiful weak woman.At this moment, he really wants to fly to Suzhou and shake that county captain by his collar—brother, are we talking about a person! ! !
Is she as weak as a willow?

Give her a knife, and she can sweep my entire imperial army!
With a withdrawn temperament, he talks less and prefers to be quiet...

That Lin Qingmei who choked him so speechless was his hallucination, right?
Xie Yunzhao burned the secret letter, and at this moment he felt a little hungry, and was about to pass on lunch, when the empress dowager's maid suddenly came and announced him to the palace for dinner.

"Is it just me?" Xie Yunzhao asked.

The palace maid said respectfully, "Today the Empress Dowager held a banquet in the Imperial Garden, and invited the Eldest Princess, the Fifth Princess, the daughter of Prime Minister Liu and the daughter of the Lin Mansion."

Xie Yunzhao: ...

What is this sudden feeling of pain and swelling! !
In the imperial garden, the creases on the Empress Dowager Le's face were ironed.

"I just like staying with these young girls. Ru Yun, this is Qingmei, have you met?"

Liu Ruyun covered her face and smiled lightly, "Back to the Empress Dowager, I was destined to have sex with Sister Qingmei at the eldest princess's flower banquet before."

Qingmei only felt a little sour in her stomach——Sister Qingmei...

Why didn't she know that she was already commensurate with sister Liu Ruyun.

The fifth princess only felt a headache. On one side was her sweetheart's own cousin, and on the other side was her god-sister whom she knew. Her palms and backs were full of flesh. It wouldn't be good for her to help either!I can only look at the happiest empress dowager who is smiling with great resentment——Old ancestor, your method is too high, are you going to let my two future third sister-in-laws fight in the ring in advance? !
The eldest princess also arrived today, and she secretly reached out and tugged on the sleeve of the fifth princess, signaling her not to talk too much today, so as not to end up being a stranger inside and out.

The old lady's banquet today really meant to make Qingmei and Liu Ruyun compare.After Qingmei left that day, she carefully looked at Qingmei's paintings, and secretly sent someone to investigate the Master Huang who taught her in Suzhou.Obviously, the Empress Dowager lived longer than Xie Yunzhao, and knew many more old things, and the final result was exactly what she thought——Huang Lingyuan!

Huang Lingyuan, a well-known scholar in the world, and the prince Taifu who taught the late emperor, resigned from office and returned to his hometown because of his disagreement with the then Prime Minister Wei.Today's Liu Xiang was taught by him.When Liu Xiang first entered the officialdom, because of the name of Huang Lingyuan's disciple, I don't know how many obstacles were lost.Qingmei girl was lucky enough to get his advice, just based on this point, she won't know how many layers of gold she has earned.

But girl Ruyun is also a likable girl. If you don't look at Huang Lingyuan, Liu Ruyun's family background is far superior to Qingmei's. The Liu family in Jiangnan has existed in the previous dynasty, and it is an out-and-out noble family.If it wasn't for Xie Yunzhao's fall from the horse, she would have been the default candidate for the princess.

Now the empress dowager is sad, both girls are good, but she only has one grandson to marry, how to choose...
