Several grown men were talking over there. In the harem, when the imperial concubine saw her daughter, she naturally wanted to take good care of her. However, they had only been married for three days. It seemed that the mother and daughter had not seen each other for several years.
There are endless things to say.
However, the female officer next to her saw that the time was almost up and whispered a reminder, but the imperial concubine was still reluctant to let her go.
The female official said somewhat helplessly: "Your Majesty, Your Highness is still in the capital even after you get married. If you miss her in the future, just ask Your Highness to come to the palace more often to accompany your Majesty."
"Well, that's true..."
The imperial concubine then let go of her hand, and then told the female officer: "Axiu, do you have anything else to say to Yongle? Please teach this girl more, don't let her suffer a loss outside."
"Yes, don't be anxious, my maid. I understand." The female officer Axiu took Yongle's hand and led her to her side.
Yongle was led by Axiu obediently. Although this female official was of average rank in the palace, she was quite respected by others, including Yongle himself, who called her Axiu Aunt in private.
The reason for this is simple. Axiu was the number one female official in the imperial concubine's palace. She was the personal maid who accompanied the imperial concubine from the Meng family. Perhaps it was because Meng Yuan was so evil that she took all the Meng family's luck for hundreds of years by herself.
, so except for the old man, the rest of the Meng family seemed a bit mediocre.
Including the imperial concubine, she has almost no independent opinions and almost no scheming. If Axiu hadn't helped make suggestions over the years, I'm afraid it would be difficult to have the stability we have today.
Holding Yongle's hand, Axiu asked: "Your Highness, are you used to living at the Prince Consort's?"
"It's okay." Although Yongle wanted to show a mature side and not worry her family, her moral conduct was still far behind Axiu's.
However, Axiu did not expose her, but instead said: "Mother Sun is an old man of the Meng family. She was also taking care of the imperial concubine before she entered the palace, so if Your Highness has any undecided matters,
You can find her."
"I know." Yongle replied softly.
Axiu nodded with a smile, and then said: "There are many maids in the palace who will accompany Your Highness to the Prince Consort's Mansion, but for those who are left to serve as personal servants, just choose one or two. Has Your Highness already selected the candidate?"
Yongle had no hesitation about this matter. She said directly: "Xiaoli and I are close friends, so just let her serve me, but I won't be used to it if it's someone else."
The name Xiaoli made Axiu's brows twitch without a trace. She paused slightly and said softly: "Your Highness, you can make up your own mind when choosing someone, but there is no need to rush. If you have time, you can ask Grandma Sun to help you with the details."
One or two, she knows better."
"Yes, I remember it."
...
After returning from the palace, life continued to pass normally. In the blink of an eye, Princess Yongle had been living in the Prince Consort's Mansion for almost a month.
Lu Hanjiang also gradually got used to it from the initial discomfort. The couple lives a very different life and can be considered to be in peace with each other.
Lu Hanjiang doesn't have any objections to Princess Yongle. The good thing about this girl is that she always has a temper and says whatever she likes, and shows it all on her face whether she likes it or not.
But that's the only bad thing. This girl is too straight-tempered. Whether she hates it or not is written all over her face. After a month, anyone in the house who is not blind can see that the relationship between the young couple is very tense. For this reason, Mr. Meng
Bu Shao talked to Lu Hanjiang.
The sun was setting again one day, and Princess Yongle went for a walk in the backyard garden after dinner, while Lu Hanjiang was passing the time in his study, as always, watching the arrival reports from various places.
At this time, Lao Qian walked in. He was a servant who couldn't say much about the conflict between the master and his wife. He came here to answer the things Lu Hanjiang asked him to do a few days ago.
"Sir," Lao Qian put down the tea and whispered: "I have checked all the people His Highness brought, and there are basically no problems, except for one person."
This is not a question of whether you can believe it or not, but when someone comes to the house and wants to stay permanently, Lu Hanjiang will instinctively arrange for people to find out the details.
After hearing what Lao Qian said, Lu Hanjiang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is there another one that I can't find?"
"It's not that it can't be found, but if you want to find her, you need to start from other places." Old Qian said vaguely, but his meaning was probably clear. With his connections and Mr. Meng's reputation, he could find out the origin of the maid.
It's easy. If you can't find out the details under this premise, then there is only one kind of person left.
Lu Hanjiang said calmly: "Let Jiang Xian go to the Criminal Department tomorrow to find out which family he is from."
People who were imprisoned as slaves in the palace due to crimes could not be found by ordinary means. They had to search through the archives of previous years. However, he did not understand how someone with such a background could marry Princess Yongle.
"Old slave, I understand."
After Lao Qian agreed, he added: "The matter concerning the Lu family in Dongdu that I asked my slave to investigate before has come to a conclusion."
"Tell me and listen." Lu Hanjiang calmed down and sat upright.
"There are about ten families with the surname Lu in Dongdu, most of them are merchants, and their backgrounds are all clear. If we want to say that there is only one person who has connections with Jianghu, he is the owner of the Rising Sun Escort Bureau." Old Qian said.
"Rising Sun Escort Agency?" Lu Hanjiang tried hard to search for information in his mind and made sure he had no impression of this name.
Lao Qian explained: "Master, don't underestimate this little escort agency. I sent someone to investigate and found out that although the Lu family behind this escort agency is not well-known, Mr. Lu's daughter has married into a good husband's family."
.”
"Which one?"
"Yuwen family," Lao Qian said solemnly: "The third son of the contemporary Yuwen family head, Yuwen Zhang, married the daughter of Mr. Lu. I heard that it was a private marriage, so he didn't make any big deal about it. I don't know about it.
There are few people, but the head of the Yuwen family has indeed recognized this daughter-in-law."
"Yuwen..."
Lu Hanjiang's taste has begun to show some flavor. The Yuwen family, the Huangfu family, and the Gongsun family are known as the three major aristocratic families in the world. Although the Huangfu family has been eliminated, the remaining two families are not easy to get along with.
Unlike the Huangfu family, which is famous for its martial arts, the Gongsun family has been practicing medicine for generations and is a famous Xinglin family with an astonishing number of connections. With its superb medical skills and strong network resources, it has remained standing for many years.
As for the last Yuwen family, although their family tradition of martial arts is indeed very strong, their fame is not based on martial arts, but on the emergence of ruthless people.
Not to mention the distant ones. To say that the Yuwen family has been the most popular in recent decades, it has to be Yuwenwei, the head of the Yuwen family who has now been relegated to the second line. He is the number one assassin in the Jianghu clan. He killed three palms in a row.
The sect indirectly led to the merger of the Five Sacred Mountains, which shocked the world.
Many years ago, the magic secret of sword-making villa appeared in the world, and many martial arts masters competed to seize it. In order to seek fairness, everyone set up a ring, and everyone spoke based on their ability. Although the rules in black and white said that life and death in the ring were determined, but everyone
He is from a righteous background, and he is very committed to martial ethics. To sum it up, he can be summed up in just four words.
Then Yu Wenwei came out of the blue, and he was completely unreasonable in his ruthless actions. He first beheaded the head of the Songshan sect, then the head of the Taishan sect, then the head of the Hengshan sect, and finally beat up the head of the Huashan sect.
By the time he vomited blood and fainted, even though Yu Wenwei had fought four consecutive battles and was at the end of his strength, the head of the Hengshan faction was simply too scared to go on stage at that time.
After that, the remaining four families of the Five Mountains were in chaos and weakened. The Hengshan faction took advantage of the opportunity and succeeded in annexing the Five Mountains. The head of Hengshan became the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance. It was precisely because of this that the other four factions were very unconvinced. Twenty years ago, as soon as the leader passed away, there was a
The internal fighting among the five factions has not stopped until now.
