Standing on the pavilion in the West Garden, you can see the attic surrounded by wooden frames on the other side of Ning'an Hall.
"Sister Qing, what was demolished?" the little princess asked.
Miss Xiahou looked away and said with a smile: "It's not demolishing, it's being built." She smiled again and nodded, "It's also being demolished. It needs to be demolished first before a new one can be built."
She stretched out her hand and made a gesture.
"It will build a very, very tall tower."
The little princess yelled and asked: "What can a very tall tower do?"
Miss Xiahou said with a smile: "You can see far away outside the imperial city. When you raise your head, the stars in the sky become very close."
She said, hugging the little princess and standing on the fence.
The little princess let out a "wow" and then started giggling. Which child doesn't like to stand tall? It's just that the maids and maids are very strict about it, lest they fall and get bumped.
Miss Xiahou, who was invited to tutor her in her studies, would take her around and do things that children like to do.
Miss Xiahou helped her stand firmly on the railing, and then said: "Princess, you should look further into the distance more and you will see more beautiful scenery. Don't stick to what is in front of you."
The little princess seemed to understand, but of course children like better scenery and nodded vigorously.
"Miss." The maid came up from the steps.
Behind her were the little princess's maids and maids.
Seeing the little princess standing on the fence, they were a little nervous, but they did not dare to accuse Miss Xiahou.
The emperor respected Mr. Xiahou very much and treated Miss Xiahou leniently. Miss Xiahou also had the pride of a scholar, and they did not dare to argue with her at all.
"Princess, Miss Xiahou, it's time to have some snacks." Mammy said with a smile.
Miss Xiahou took the little princess down and said, "Go, have something to eat, and then we will write another word."
The little princess said hello and happily ran to her grandma. The grandma also breathed a sigh of relief, saluted Miss Xiahou, and took the little princess's hand to go down.
Miss Xiahou stood still and watched.
"Miss." The maid came closer and whispered, "I have found out that there was indeed a female craftsman who built the Star Observation Pavilion."
Miss Xiahou turned around and looked at Star View Pavilion again, and said, "That can still be a lie. There is no need for him to tell this lie."
The maid curled her lips: "She is very lucky."
Miss Xiahou smiled: "I have this ability."
Moreover, if you put aside the relationship with Third Young Master Lu and think about it, this Miss Qixing has relied on her ability, not luck, from the first day she entered the capital.
The embroidery skills asked the married lady of the Cao family to come to celebrate her mother's birthday, and she herself gave gifts to the Cao family, which directly prevented the Cao family from being made trouble by the Inspector General.
Thus established a foothold in the capital.
The maid is also helpless. There is really no other way. She can avoid doing other fortifications. At worst, she can give more money to make it worth the wages. Even if she gives the guest another compensation, it is all about money after all, but Xiu Nei Si can't do that.
This is not a matter of money. In the worst case, it can be regarded as defying the emperor's decree and deceiving the emperor.
Third Young Master Lu didn't dare, and the Xiahou family couldn't do this either.
"Miss." The maid whispered, "Would you like to go over there and have a look?" She snorted again, "Let her know that working for Xiu Neisi is nothing. Miss, you are educating the little princess and can freely enter and leave the palace.
"
Miss Xiahou glanced at her: "What are you talking about? What does she have to do with me? Why should we compare? We only need to look at Master Lu for this matter."
What he thought and what he did is the key.
The maid made a sound and muttered: "I'm just curious."
The young lady was also curious, so she brought the princess here to watch.
Miss Xiahou looked away, turned around and said, "Let's go, the princess is still waiting."
The maid responded and followed Miss Xiahou down, and whispered: "I have already inquired about it clearly. It will be almost repaired by the end of the year. Let's see what she says then."
Hmm... Mr. Lu probably won't be able to drive her away by then, so Miss Xiahou had a premonition.
…
…
Several officials walked past the palace and were startled when they suddenly saw Huo Lian, dressed in black and faintly shining with gold, standing on the steps.
In the past, Governor Huo was either accompanying the emperor or in the Ducha Division. It had been a long time since he had stood in front of the palace to scare people.
"I've been standing here for half a day." An official whispered, "I don't know what I'm looking at."
Are you looking at someone you don’t like?
Then find an excuse to check it out.
Who among the officials in this court can withstand investigation?
Several officials quickened their pace and passed by without looking sideways. Fortunately, Huo Lian didn't look at them either.
"Captain." Zhu Chuan hurried over from a short distance away, and lowered his voice as he approached, "It is true that they are building the Star Viewing Pavilion over there, but they didn't wander around. Even when they moved around, they always followed Liu Tongshi and never left.
Pass."
Huo Lian said: "If she really wants to leave, no one will find her."
Zhu Chuan said, "That's right. This woman often comes to the governor's side, but no one notices it."
"Then should we drive her away?" Zhu Chuan asked.
Although the Ministry of Industry is involved, it is not a big deal. If you find any excuse to lock up these craftsmen, the Ministry of Industry will find another batch.
Huo Lian shook her head: "No, that would be unnecessary. Strengthen the defense of the imperial city and prevent those craftsmen from wandering around."
Also, that woman managed to get business from the government. If she really got into trouble, she would have to come to Du Cha Si in the middle of the night to cause trouble.
Let her work in the imperial city as she wishes. The imperial city is such an important place. If she makes trouble, she will be beheaded.
Zhu Chuan solemnly responded, turned around and walked away heavily.
Huo Lian turned around and walked into the palace. After just a few steps, a Ducha Sibingwei rushed towards him and whispered a few words to Zhu Chuan. Zhu Chuan turned around and ran to catch up with Huo Lian again.
"Captain," he whispered, "Liu Yan went to Star Viewing Pavilion."
Huo Lian paused slightly.
…
…
When Gao Xiaoliu was dragged up from the stable, he struggled desperately.
"What are you doing, why are you letting me go?" he shouted.
The anger in the voice and the violence in the movements made the prison boss mistakenly think that this was a scene of arresting someone and putting him in a cell.
Who would have thought that this would mean letting the prisoner go?
He was in a trance.
"I won't leave!" Gao Xiaoliu hugged the horse-tying post, "I will never leave. Let Liu Yan come to see me and make it clear to me!"
Is this because you get a bargain and still behave well?
The cell leader shouted angrily: "What? You hurt the master, and I let you go without questioning your guilt. Are you going to blackmail the master?"
Gao Xiaoliu sneered and spat at him: "You know nothing!"
The prison head couldn't help but be stunned. Gao Xiaoliu was laughing and scolding without a serious look at first, but at this moment, Gao Xiaoliu's eyes were full of anger, which he had never seen before.
This sentence didn't sound as unpleasant as the previous words. A chill ran down his back and he was speechless for a moment.
The servants of the Gao family who were still standing aside stepped forward.
"Sir." They supported Gao Xiaoliu from left to right and spoke sincerely, "I am begging you because I am not in good health. Please stop making trouble here. It will not be good for anyone. Come back with us to see the master."
Bar."
As they approached, Gao Xiaoliu felt a strange fragrance coming over him, and his eyes became even angrier.
"What did he exchange for? What did he exchange for?" He reached out and grabbed a servant and shouted.
The servant sighed: "What can I do? Of course it is my father's heart."
After saying that, he helped Gao Xiaoliu with all his strength.
Gao Xiaoliu, who was originally holding the horse-tethering post motionless, seemed to have lost strength after hearing the bad news about his father, and was lifted up softly.
But his injured hand tightly grasped the servant's arm, and he used his last bit of strength to burst the wound, and blood slowly seeped out.
