Chapter 189 Master He visits the Shaoqing Mansion

Sun Yan was stunned for a moment, then quickly agreed: "Many people have said before that Miss Kou looks like the eldest princess."

Like a royal sister?

The face of Princess Zhaoyang appeared in Emperor Xingyuan's mind, and he indeed discovered the similarities between the two.

But there was a lingering strange feeling in his heart.

"Many people say that Miss Kou looks like the eldest princess?"

"No, on the day of the Double Ninth Festival, Miss Kou and the eldest princess Dian Dong were together in Honglu Mountain, and many people discovered that the eldest princess Dian Dong had a conversation with Miss Kou."

"That's it." Emperor Xingyuan thought to himself that Miss Kou actually looks a bit like the imperial sister, but she looks more or less like him.

But those words were a little inappropriate.

He silently calmed down and continued to talk about Miss Kou's thoughts, and walked to the desk to prepare to deal with Yidong's government affairs.

It is already the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. In previous years, all officials would have been on holiday. But next year, due to a sudden earthquake in Dingbei, disaster relief became a top priority. Many officials were very busy, and Emperor Xingyuan had no leisure time.

The desk is piled with memorials. Picking one up and opening it at random makes one feel heavy.

After reading a few booklets, Emperor Xingyuan pressed his legs and suddenly remembered: "Sun Yan, I remember that I handed Mr. Songling's new book a few months ago."

"Ah, no." Sun Yan's eyes were filled with surprise. He didn't expect the emperor to think of that after so long.

"Where are the books?"

Sun Yan immediately flipped through the pages in front of him and pulled out a book from the pile of papers. He put his legs on it and said, "Bidong, over there."

Emperor Xingyuan took the book and looked at it casually.

Compared with most story books, the book is a bit thin, which is why it is priced at two hundred words per volume. The words "Journey to the West" came into view, and Emperor Xingyuan felt a vague sense of familiarity.

He didn't think much, rubbed his brows to relieve fatigue, and opened the book casually.

Before the earthquake, he was indeed somewhat interested in Mr. Songling's new book, but he put it aside temporarily because of Qulu. Now Yue Ye is worried about Dingbei, and has long lost the mood to read leisurely books.

Emperor Xingyuan was very clear about his own mentality. He wanted to read the book now because Miss Kou was the owner of Qingsong Bookstore. He should not keep chatting with the waiter about Miss Kou, but just read the books published by her bookstore.

"It is said that there is a flower and fruit mountain south of Luojiang River. There is a fairy stone on the mountain... In January, the fairy stone cracked and rolled out a stone egg. When the stone egg was exposed to the wind, it turned into a stone monkey..."

The sound of chair legs scraping against the ground was heard. Emperor Xingyuan stood up suddenly, and books and newspapers fell to the floor.

Sun Yan, who was waiting aside, was startled: "Bi Dong——"

"Is that book written by Mr. Songling?" Emperor Xingyuan asked, clutching "Journey to the West" tightly.

Emperor Xingyuan's expression made Sun Yan even more frightened, but he didn't dare to say anything in front of him: "Reporting to Bidong, "Journey to the West" is Mr. Songling's new book. It will be sold at Qingsong Bookstore on the first day of the twelfth lunar month. It is said that there will be a second book after the Lantern Festival.

The second volume is in the market..."

Although Emperor Xingyuan did not read "Journey to the West" at the first time, Sun Yan did not ignore the news about Mr. Songling's new book, so that the emperor would not be confused when he suddenly asked about it.

Emperor Xingyuan couldn't listen to what Sun Yan said next, and his mind was filled with denial of what he just saw.

Huaguo Mountain, Immortal Stone...

Did Xin Xin escape and come to them? Later, he asked Xin Xin where she was from and what her parents were like. Xin Xin laughed and said that she lived in Huaguo Mountain, and did she jump out of a stone...

Xinxin's words had never been said in front of the imperial sister. He had always regarded them as a little joke between husband and wife.

That Mr. Songling must be very familiar with Xinxin!

"Sun Yan——"

"My slave is here."

"Immediately send word that Marquis Changle has entered the palace."

"No." Sun Yan had countless guesses in his mind, but he didn't dare to reveal anything and quickly made arrangements to go east.

He Qingxiao received the oral order and immediately entered the palace.

"Wei Chen has met Bidong."

Emperor Xingyuan didn't care to express his deep affection for uncle and nephew anymore. He raised his leg and said, "Qingxiao, I will go and bring Mr. Songling to me."

"No." He Qingxiao's eyes moved, and she left the palace and went straight to Qingsong Bookstore.

It was snowing heavily, there were not many pedestrians on the street, and the door of Qingsong Bookstore was closed.

He Qingxiao knocked on the door.

The door opened quickly. When Liu Zhou saw He Qingxiao, he was stunned for a moment and then quickly turned sideways: "Master He, please come in."

In the library, shopkeeper Hu was organizing the bookshelf with Shi Shi when he saw He Qingxiao coming in to say hello: "Master He is here."

"Isn't that the bookstore——"

"The boss said we will be closed from next month and will reopen on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year." Shopkeeper Hu said with a smile.

"Is Miss Kou behind?"

The old shopkeeper's smile faded a bit: "I'm not here, my boss has returned to Shaoqing's Mansion."

Mr. He has changed. He used to come to Qingsong Bookstore to read books, but later he mostly went to find a bookstore.

The original intention is gone.

Shopkeeper Hu sighed deeply in his heart.

"That's annoying." He Qingxiao said politely and left in a hurry.

Shopkeeper Hu rushed to the door and looked out.

"Shopkeeper, what are you looking at?" Liu Zhou squeezed over and asked in confusion.

Shopkeeper Hu stroked his beard: "I see the direction Mr. He is going to, is it Shaoqing's Mansion?"

It was indeed Shaoqing's Mansion that He Qingxiao rode to.

Duan Shaoqing received the report from Dongren and thought he was hallucinating.

I didn’t drink much at noon. Could it be that I was drunk?

He was at a loss until he saw He Qingxiao dressed in brocade clothes.

Why did He Qingxiao come to Shaoqing's Mansion?

"Master Duan, is Miss Kou in your mansion?" He Qingxiao asked straight to the point.

Duan Shaoqing's pupils trembled.

Looking for a girl to find a home?

That, that, that... shameless! What a shame!

"Isn't Miss Kou here?"

Duan Shaoqing's face darkened: "I wonder what Mr. He wants from Qingqing?"

He Qingxiao arched her legs towards Zai: "Ming Zai wants to know about Yidong Qingsong Bookstore. If Miss Kou is in your house, please come out as soon as possible to avoid keeping Ming Zai waiting for a long time."

"Are you asking for Qingqing to enter the palace?" Duan Shaoqing was surprised.

"Ming Zai has ordered Zai Dong to come and find out for the time being."

Duan Shaoqing looked at the man's expression and gave up his doubts.

No matter how bold He Qingxiao is, he must not falsely preach the edict.

He no longer hesitated and immediately ordered Dongren to go to Wanqing Residence to invite people.

Xin You was on her way to the flower hall, and her host who had always asked her to confirm: "Would you like to ask Mr. He, the envoy of Jinlin Guard Town?"

"no."

Xin You hurriedly walked through the bluestone road of Shaoqing's Mansion, and she had a guess in her mind: Mr. He went straight to the door of Shaoqing's Mansion to look for her, and I'm afraid it was related to the person in the palace.

Just because it was in the Lotus Garden, there shouldn't be a follow-up. It would be ridiculous for Lord Yejiao to send Jinlin Guards to visit a girl just because she looks like him.

So - Xinyou stomped her feet and her expression changed slightly.

The reaction in her heart was even greater: Do you think "Journey to the West" was seen by that person?

Xin You had mistakenly told Qing Xiao that there was a way for Emperor Xingyuan to take the initiative to investigate the Wanyang incident years ago, but he denied the book "Journey to the West".

She also thought that Emperor Xingyuan did not read Ke Ke immediately, but she believed that as each volume of "Journey to the West" went east and set off a craze for people in the capital to pursue books, that person would see it sooner or later.

The only thing that's not beautiful is talking big words in front of Mr. He.

Now it seems that the time is quite within expectation.

Xin You suppressed her thoughts and walked into the flower hall.
