Chapter four hundred and ninety-eight of the storm
Facts have proved that Sang Zi said before that Princess Dongyang had not eaten yet, which was not an excuse. Because, after giving the task, Princess Dongyang left Yue Qianqiu and Shen Zheng to have a sumptuous lunch with her. However, she felt very uncomfortable when she let two people who had never met each other. After eating half of the time, she agreed to Chen Zheng's retreat.
Seeing that the Wudeshi Shi Duzhi left, Yue Qianqiu, who had just been listless, immediately let out a long sigh, as if he had come alive. She couldn't help but laugh and scold, "It was Chen Zheng who had suffered several losses from you, but you didn't get any benefits. Now, who would you show me such a pitiful look that I was suppressed?"
"Of course it's for the eldest princess, you see." Yue Qianqiu then rolled up his sleeves and brought food to the eldest princess, then he piled a thick layer on his rice bowl without hesitation, and filled most of the bowl with voraciousness before he put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth.
"He doesn't like me all day long, so what can I do? I can only treat him as an enemy. Anyway, the emperor probably doesn't feel that the Wude Department has too much power, so it's good that he and I don't like each other? As for me, the emperor doesn't expect me to be able to get along with others wherever I go, right?"
"You're just thinking too much." Princess Dongyang picked up a piece of roasted quail and stuffed it into Yue Qianqiu's mouth. Seeing that she didn't care about talking anymore, she said in a gentle tone, "Are you scared when you heard the speculations about the little fat man and Li Chongming just now?"
Yue Qianqiu was tearing the quail's thigh with his teeth. When he heard this, he slowed down his movements, and then put down the quail's petal and sighed and said, "There is one thing... I really didn't expect that in addition to me, a suspicious person, others would be suspected in unlucky manner. Chen Zheng just said something very right. Maybe Xiao Jingxian or the dead queen did it on purpose? Maybe there was no little prince back then?"
"It's possible, but I think no one will take that risk. What's more, even if Xiao Jingxian..."
Princess Dongyang suddenly paused, then looked at Yue Qianqiu, who was full of greasy mouth, and sighed and said, "Something happened that you didn't know back then, so your grandfather had planned for many years to get Xiao Jing over. But Xiao Jing's ancestors came here. To truly grasp this person, he also needed someone who could speak in front of him and could respect him, and someone who could treat him sincerely."
Yue Qianqiu suddenly froze, then pointed to his nose and said, "So Princess, you chose me? But if I remember correctly, did Ying Xiaopang stick to her and get close to Xiao Jing first? Isn't he competent?"
"He is indeed the alternative." Seeing that Yue Qianqiu was really dumbfounded this time, Princess Dongyang smiled and said, "But he who was so smart or insidious that he would stick to him as if he had been together, and who had traveled thousands of miles away with Xiao Jingxian and returned from Beiyan together. What's more, although he was smart or insidious, could he beat Xiao Jingxian?"
"But I can't beat that guy. Besides, we are both intrigues when we get along."
Yue Qianqiu muttered in a low voice. Seeing Princess Dongyang glaring at him, he immediately raised his hands and said, "I am not humble. Xiao Jingxian is changing so many times. That is the real thousand-year-old fairy. I was in Shangjing, on the road, and in Jinling several times! Besides, Xiao Qingqing also appeared today..."
Before he could finish his words, Princess Dongyang suddenly pressed her palms heavily on the table, and she leaned forward suddenly. She looked a little angry when she glared at him, and at this moment she became extremely sharp.
"Princess Huoshan Xiao Qingqing? She also appeared today? Tell me, what's going on!"
Faced with such a princess who suddenly turned from Ci and her grandmother to a decisive female politician, Yue Qianqiu had nothing to accept. He was not panicked at the moment. He was eating and talking, even Xiao Qingqing's biased view of poetry and songs was not missed. Finally, he said lightly: "By the way, Xiao Jing first planned to borrow the Lishui Garden, the royal villa for three days, so I came by the way."
"By the way, I think you came for this kind of thing! The conscienceless boy said that you can't fight Xiao Jingxian, and you will take the initiative to take charge of such things!" Princess Dongyang listened to the series of events, including the fat man dragging Zhong Liang away, the Minister of War. At this time, his expression was no longer as imposing as before, as if he had returned to the image of Ci and grandmother.
"You just say whether you agree or not! This is not for Xiao Jingxian, isn't this for Wuyingguan to earn some face?"
"Ha, what a big tone!" Princess Dongyang couldn't help but stretched out her finger and bounced her finger on Yue Qianqiu's head. After sitting back, she smiled and said, "You are not from Wuying Pavilion now, but you still want to win over their face? But you have been back for so many days, and it's time to go in and collect your wildness. There are also the two friends who have walked with you in Beiyan."
"Yes, I've heard from the eldest princess. You haven't said whether you agree to me to find a way to borrow a garden. You can't run to the emperor by myself, right?"
"You are arrogant because of your favor!" After saying that, Princess Dongyang leaned heavily backwards and said domineeringly, "It's accurate, you don't have to worry about the emperor. Although Lishui Garden is royal, it is more precisely mine. Mine is your master's, and your master's one is yours. What do you say to borrow? I'll say hello when you go back, and you'll make a fuss as long as you want!"
This time, Yue Qianqiu finally opened his eyes wide. When he came to his senses, he could not help but cheer, rushed up and hugged Princess Dongyang's arm and thanked him again and again.
Princess Dongyang saw Yue Qianqiu go back and continue to eat and chew. She swept most of the table of vegetables like a wind storm. She touched her stomach and said she wanted to see Su Shiqi eat with her food. She nodded and smiled and watched the person. When he completely disappeared from her sight, the comfortable smile on her face gradually restrained.
Yue Qianqiu was not picking up the oldest man from the street casually, but Yue Lao was witnessing a fire, so he asked someone to bury the woman named Ding who carried the baby out of the fire but gave her life to take the child home to raise her grandson. Previously, because Yue Lao was insisting that the child was picked up halfway, and even placed the insiders separately and prepared fake witnesses. The time passed too long, so Wudeshi put in the effort to find out the fire.
But further back, the clue was completely broken.
If Yue Qianqiu had not involved the late queen for many years in the trip to Beiyan, no one would have thought of a woman named Ding with the confidant female official Ding An, who was beside the Queen of Beiyan. Even if she led someone to dig the grave, the bone she found could not prove that it was Ding An, but people would inevitably think about it in that direction.
Moreover, others may not know, and even her emperor brother doesn’t know, but she still remembers that Old Master Yue, who had already laid a solid foundation in the Ministry of Revenue, was once said to have intentionally re-reinforced. As for the mysterious woman, the only person I have seen is a woman wearing a veil in a hat.
Because the woman was witnessed only once, and later, Old Master Yue has always been a widower, and this incident is no longer rumored. But now, I think about it, a few months before the queen died of "one body and two lives", Old Master Yue had only contacted that woman.
"Is it a fool... or a fool?"
Of course, Yue Qianqiu didn't know that Princess Dongyang's head was almost broken at this time. He encountered a pair of monkeys and a little witch in Su Shiqi's Yanshui Pavilion. When he learned that the eldest wife had a vacation for them today, he felt that he really shouldn't have come, but it was too late to escape, so he had to reluctantly deal with these three little guys.
As a result, when he finally left the Princess' Mansion, it was already dusk. Because he lent Xu Hao and others to the third prince to "date" Qin Erwei, he was leading Snow White out alone, and he felt that his ears were finally quiet. But before he could experience this leisure and freedom for too long, a rider suddenly turned into the street at lightning.
Before he could approach him, the rider immediately jumped down and walked a few steps ahead of him. It was Han Yu, the governor of Wude Department.
Han Yu didn't even bother to greet Yue Qianqiu and said bluntly: "Junior Ninth Prince, I happened to meet a messenger who was taking Xiao Xiao to the house of Prime Minister Zhao to report his demise. Zhao's mother passed away, and he might be in trouble."
Yue Qianqiu didn't expect that Han Yu would bring such a message, and immediately let out a light cry. Then, Han Yu smiled and said, "Congratulations to the Ninth Master. Maybe in a few days, Old Master Yue will be the prime minister."
"Your congratulations are really early." Yue Qianqiu pulled his hair in distress, but he was not very happy. "Grandpa was the Minister of Revenue at the time, but later he became the second minister and was the target of public criticism. If he became the prime minister in the future, he would still be regarded as a thorn in his eyes! By the way, did not Da Wu have many officials to seize love? Can Master Zhao also seize love?"
Han Yu didn't expect Yue Qianqiu to be not so happy. Of course, he wouldn't have gone to the Princess's Mansion just for this matter, but since I saw Yue Qianqiu from afar, I could even bring my relationship closer. He coughed dryly, but it was inconvenient to continue to express his opinions on such matters. He bowed and laughed dryly: "I don't know this. I have something to go to see the Princess, and take a step first..."
As he said that, he hurriedly walked in, but after walking two steps, his shoulder was snatched. Before he could turn around, he heard Yue Qianqiu's deliberately lowered voice coming from behind: "By the way, Uncle Han, have you seen my master before?"
"Yes, it's yesterday's incident." Han Yu didn't take this matter seriously and replied casually, "You must have received Mr. Yan's letter, right? It's a coincidence that I got the news early to sweep the so-called ship gang. Mr. Yan and the other three and the elder Zhou of the Bailian Sect were on a nearby boat. If it weren't for them, there might be a fish that missed the net. I have to see the eldest princess first. Just turn around and ask someone to leave a letter to me if you have something to say!"
Yue Qianqiu instinctively relaxed his hands. When Han Yu hurried into the door, he couldn't help but pull the hair on his forehead.
Yan Xu was obviously determined to leave Beijing for a while, but he didn't meet Han Yu first, but mingled with Zhou Jiyue's uncle first, and then happened to meet Han Yu to sweep the Beiyan spy whistle? Was he the master pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger and lying to him, or was his grandfather or the eldest princess making trouble, or was his other hand tugging all factors behind his back?
