Yun Shang nodded in agreement. The matter had gradually become clear at this point, and it was almost the same as she had expected. However, the matter of Xia Houjing had not yet been settled. It was already very complicated, and she would definitely not let it continue.
Sprung branches.
"No matter what, we absolutely cannot allow anyone to enter Yangliu Town. Send a message to the secret guards to deal with the matter as soon as possible. Stop the person and escort him back to Jincheng. If there is anything wrong, extraordinary measures should be taken in an emergency. Directly
Just deal with it." Yun Shang's voice was somewhat cold, but his face looked calm.
Qian Zui agreed and left Weiyang Palace in a hurry.
The window of the inner hall was open, and the rich fragrance of osmanthus drifted in from outside. Yun Shang walked to the bed and looked out. Outside, Peilan was picking osmanthus. Seeing Yun Shang looking over, she quickly saluted.
Yun Shang raised her head and looked at the sky. There were a lot of dark clouds in the sky today, and it looked like it was going to rain.
"It seems like it's going to rain. These osmanthus flowers can't get wet, so pick them all, dry them in the fire and store them. Your Majesty likes osmanthus fish, and I like osmanthus cakes. It doesn't hurt to make more of these osmanthus flowers," Yun Shang said softly.
commanded.
Peilan responded with a smile, but Yun Shang looked at the gate of Weiyang Palace. Cao Shanxiu walked in wearing a purple dress embroidered with azaleas, followed by the fifteenth princess in a green dress. Yun Shang restrained slightly.
With a smile on his face, he turned around and left the inner hall.
Su Mu led Cao Shanxiu and the fifteenth princess into the main hall. When they saw Yun Shang sitting on the phoenix couch, they quickly walked to the hall and saluted Yun Shang. Yun Shang's lips had already curled up with a faint smile.
Smiling, upon seeing this, he smiled and ordered the maid standing beside him to give seats to the two of them.
Cao Shanxiu sat down, then raised her head and looked at Yun Shang, smiling and saying: "The weather is getting colder, and your clothes are thin, so you should wear more clothes."
Yun Shang smiled, straightened her embroidered dress, and responded softly: "I never leave Weiyang Palace very often, and I don't feel cold in this room, so it doesn't matter. Now I'll pass it on to you two.
I came here for the wedding on the 15th. Have you seen all the portraits of young men of suitable age that I ordered to be sent to your palace before? I see that you have never responded, but you have not chosen the one you are satisfied with? "
Hearing this, Cao Shanxiu stood up in a hurry and saluted Yunshang, and said softly: "It's not like I didn't choose someone I was satisfied with. Those people given by the Queen are all good talents selected from a million. Since
I am satisfied with it. I was dazzled for a while and didn’t know what to do.”
Hearing this, Yun Shang laughed and said, "In that case, do you mind if I take over this position for Shi Fifteen?"
Cao Shanxiu and the fifteenth princess looked at each other. After a while, Cao Shanxiucai said softly: "The empress personally chooses the son-in-law for the fifteenth princess. This is fifteenth's blessing. I don't know who that person is?"
Yun Shang picked up the tea that the maid had placed beside her and gently blew the foam on the tea. Fang said softly: "I think Sun Bingzhi, the number one scholar in martial arts, is a very good candidate. Although Sun Bingzhi won the number one scholar this year,
However, His Majesty previously ordered him to lead troops to quell the rebellion in Liu Cang, and he won several battles in a row. Even Xia Houjing, the rebel who was best at thinking about tactics, was repeatedly defeated by him. Now he has put down the rebellion in Liu Cang. After a while,
Then the teacher can return to the court. Now that he has accomplished such great achievements at such a young age, Your Majesty will definitely give him a reward. Moreover, he is young and there is a serious shortage of military attaches in the court, so his future is boundless."
Yun Shang noticed that Cao Shanxiu trembled slightly after Yun Shang mentioned that the Liu Cang Rebellion had been put down by Sun Bingzhi. Yun Shang curled her lips and saw Qian Liu coming in from the outside with two cups of tea.
Yun Shang lowered her head and gently rubbed the rim of the slightly hot teacup with her hand. Not long after, she heard a crisp sound, followed by an exclamation.
Yun Shang raised her head. There was some chaos in the palace. There were broken teacups on the ground. Cao Shanxiu and the fifteenth princess both stood up and hurriedly wiped their clothes with brocade handkerchiefs.
"What happened?" Yun Shang frowned and said sternly: "I am just a flash god, that's what I look like."
Qianliu's face was full of panic. He knelt down in a hurry, kowtowed to Yun Shang a few times, and said in a panic: "My queen, please forgive me, it's this slave who deserves to die. I accidentally tripped and fell. What I was holding in my hand was
All the tea was poured on the concubine and the fifteenth princess."
"You really deserve to die." Hearing this, Yun Shang stood up in a hurry, walked to Cao Shanxiu and the fifteenth princess and asked with concern: "Are you burned?"
Anger was already visible in Cao Shanxiu's eyes. When she heard Yun Shang's question, she quickly raised her lips and said with a full smile: "It's okay. The tea is not too hot, but it's not too hot. There's no need for the empress to blame her.
We all make mistakes sometimes, just be careful next time.”
The fifteenth princess was not as easy to talk to as Cao Shanxiu. When Cao Shanxiu said this, she snorted coldly, gritted her teeth and turned away. Yun Shang pretended to disappear and said eagerly: "Although it is not ironed, it's just that this dress is
But they are already wet. It is already cold today. If you go out with wet clothes and the cold wind blows, you may catch a cold. How about this? You two, mother and daughter, will change into two pieces of my regular clothes in Weiyang Palace first.
Bar."
Cao Shanxiu waved her hands repeatedly and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, our palace is not far from Weiyang Palace, we can't walk a few steps."
"It doesn't matter. Let's change it. If the concubine is not willing, I will think that the concubine is angry with me." Yun Shang smiled brightly, but there was no smile in her eyes.
When Cao Shanxiu heard what Yun Shang said, she didn't dare to refuse any more. Yun Shang quickly called out: "Qianliu, Peilan, why don't you hurry into the inner hall and find two rooms for ordinary clothes for Concubine Cao and the fifteenth princess to change into?"
Already?"
After Qianliu and Peilan heard this, they quickly entered the inner hall. Yun Shang smiled and walked in with Cao Shanxiu and the fifteenth princess. Qianliu had already found clothes, the color of which they were wearing was the same.
The clothes were basically the same, and the colors were just plain and elegant. Qianliu unfolded the screen. Seeing this, Cao Shanxiu didn't say anything more, and just walked behind the screen with Qianliu Peilan.
Yun Shang walked to the beauty's couch and sat down, staring intently at the figure moving behind the screen, her brows slightly furrowed, her eyes deep, not knowing what she was thinking.
There was a "pop" sound, and there was a sound of something falling to the ground, and then Yun Shang saw a small piece of white stuff rolling out from behind the screen. Yun Shang narrowed his eyes slightly, stood up and walked over.
Yun Shang's eyes fell on the small white thing, and she leaned over to pick it up. Then she saw the fifteenth princess running out from behind the screen in a hurry, not caring that she was only wearing a middle coat.
After seeing the thing in Yun Shang's hand, the fifteenth princess suddenly turned pale and said in a panic: "Your Majesty..."
Cao Shanxiu also walked out from behind the screen. She was already wearing her clothes, but she hadn't had time to tidy them up yet.
Yun Shang looked at the things in her hands quietly, and kept flipping through them. After a while, she raised her eyes and looked at the two of them: "Concubine, the fifteenth princess, if I am not mistaken, this
Is it my private seal?"
The eyes of the fifteenth princess were full of panic, but Cao Shanxiu seemed to have calmed down, and smiled and said: "I may have forgotten it because I put it among the regular clothes. I shook a little when I was putting on my clothes, and then dropped them.
"
"Oh?" Yun Shang raised the corner of her mouth and smiled: "Really? I'm afraid Concubine Cao doesn't know that I never give the clothes I wear to others. These two and more pieces are all newly made by the Shangyi Bureau.
, and the palace maids have all checked them one by one. Besides..."
Yun Shang paused for a moment, then stretched out his hand. There was also a small white jade seal in his hand. Engraved on the small white jade seal were several plum blossoms.
Yun Shang raised her eyes to look at the two people with pale faces, smiled and said, "Concubine Cao said this is my private seal, but she doesn't know that I always like to place my private seal close to my body."
Cao Shanxiu hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The empress knows clearly that I really don't know what this is. This thing didn't fall from my body or Shiwu's body. I don't know why it suddenly fell here."
"Really?" Yun Shang picked up the fake seal. The seal was a bit rough, only the engraved area looked slightly more refined.
"This thing doesn't look like the work of a master sculptor. I just need to order people to check everywhere in the city to know where this thing came from..." Yun Shang was halfway through speaking when he saw
Qianzuo walked in from outside and stood at the door, seemingly holding something in his hand.
Qianzhi glanced at the mother and daughter kneeling on the ground, walked to Yun Chang's side, and handed the thing in her hand to Yun Chang. Yun Chang reached out and took it. It was just a few pieces of letter paper. Yun Chang flipped through it roughly.
She flipped through the letters and threw them in front of Cao Shanxiu and the fifteenth princess. Her voice gradually became frosty: "The concubine said she didn't know where this fake seal came from. So, the concubine told me,
Where did this letter paper with my private seal found from your palace come from?"
Cao Shanxiu stared intently at the scattered letters on the ground, bit her lip, and finally did not speak.
Yun Shang was not in a hurry. She walked around Cao Shanxiu and said with a smile: "After I came back from Lingxi, you quietly came to report that Princess Li secretly printed a few pieces of blank letter paper. Three of the fifteen princesses
A few months ago, there was no custom of going out of the palace to pray for blessings and worship on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. In the past few months, it suddenly became a habit, and it happened to save Mingqian's brother when he left the palace. Later, the people around Princess Li
Ming Qian was discovered by the secret guards of the palace, and she secretly exchanged letters with the guards. She died within a few days. While the palace focused on Princess Li, the fifteenth princess met with a merchant selling fabrics outside the palace.
I picked up the head and infiltrated him to Yangliu Town. Concubine, did I miss something?" (To be continued)
