As dusk fell, Wu Chengsi returned to his room to rest after explaining the matter of the dog raising the boy.
Opening the window, a cool breeze with the smell of sea water blew in.
Wu Chengsi put his hands on the window eaves and looked at the endless sea. Suddenly, he missed his wife at home.
Coincidentally, at the gate of the Prince's Mansion in Chang'an City, Li Zhiying watched a carriage slowly leave, and she also missed her husband in her heart.
Sitting in the carriage was Zhou Shang.
Three days ago, Zhou Shang's injuries had fully recovered, and Li Zhiying thought she would immediately propose returning to Taizhou.
However, she did not leave. She would help with work in the house every day. Every time Li Zhiying went out, she would follow him.
Li Zhiying could tell that Zhou Shang wanted to protect herself.
Although she didn't feel that she needed protection, she didn't reject the other party's kindness either.
Until this afternoon, the palace received a letter from Wu Chengsi.
The letter was very long, and it recorded in detail the ins and outs of the entire incident of testing the drug on a living person. After learning about it, Zhou Shang finally said goodbye to Li Zhiying.
Li Zhiying is not a person who likes to force others. Since Zhou Shang wants to leave, she will naturally not stop him.
After Zhou Shang packed her things that day, she set out in the evening. Because Xiaohua's body had not yet recovered, she stayed at the palace.
"Your Highness, please go back to the house. It's windy outside." Qiu Chan said softly.
Li Zhiying nodded and was about to turn around and enter the door. Suddenly, a purple and yellow luxury carriage came from a distance.
Li Zhiying recognized Princess Taiping's carriage and stopped.
"Hey, second cousin sister-in-law, why are you outside? Do you know that I am coming and are you here to greet me?" Princess Taiping said with a smile after getting off the carriage.
Li Zhiying smiled softly and said: "I don't know how to calculate. I didn't know you would come. I just saw off a friend."
The two girls chatted and entered the lobby hand in hand.
As soon as Princess Taiping sat down, she said angrily: "I really don't know what the queen mother is thinking. She actually favors Wu Sansi again, but is very cold to her fifth cousin."
Li Zhiying frowned slightly and sighed: "Fifth disciple is of a noble nature, so he will not be as flattering as Wu Sansi."
Princess Taiping picked up a bunch of grapes and said while eating, "It's really annoying. I don't want to enter the palace anymore when I think about meeting him in the palace often in the future."
Li Zhiying asked curiously: "Do you hate him so much?"
"You don't know how disgusting he is. When the fifth cousin first returned to Chang'an, he bowed his head in front of the fifth cousin, hoping that the fifth cousin would put in a good word for him. Now that he has gained power, he immediately becomes arrogant.
.”
Wu Youji returned to Chang'an with the army a few days ago.
After experiencing the First World War in Liaodong, he was not only promoted to the rank of Zhonglang General of the Jinwu Guard, but his status in the Wu clan was also improved.
Even Wu Mei was very kind to him, but Wu Youji couldn't speak, especially when in front of Wu Mei, he would either remain silent or say something inappropriate.
Not long after, Wu Mei's attitude towards him returned to its previous state.
Li Zhiying gently fanned the wind with a round fan and said: "He is just that kind of person, just don't think about him."
Princess Taiping hummed: "I do, but you don't know, that guy has been hanging around Caiyi like a fly recently, and he can't even drive him away."
Li Zhiying chuckled and said: "With Sister Caiyi's temper, he still dares to pester her, hasn't he been taught a lesson by Sister Caiyi?"
Princess Taiping shook her head and said, "Caiyi didn't do anything to him."
Li Zhiying tilted her head and waited for Princess Taiping to explain.
After a while, Princess Taiping said, "Half a month ago, Brother Caiyi was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant General of the Zuowei Guard. Did you know that?"
"Yeah, I've heard of it."
Princess Taiping added: "General Xue was transferred to the fourth town of Anxi to garrison. He is also General Zuoweiwei. Everyone said that Zuoweiwei will definitely be the main force in the future war with the Tubo people."
Li Zhiying nodded.
Recently, the children of the aristocratic families in the capital are rushing to enter Zuoweiwei.
Everyone seemed to think that since those who participated in the Liaodong War had been promoted to nobility, they would certainly be able to earn a share of military merit by going to fight against the Tubo people.
Princess Taiping spit a seed into the jade plate and said: "Ever since what happened to that bastard prince from Tubo last time, Caiyi has been feeling guilty about me."
"why is that?"
Princess Taiping sighed and said, "She always felt that it was her beating the Tubo prince that led to the series of events that followed."
Li Zhiying shook her head and said: "The Tubo people are very ambitious. Even if they don't have that incident, they will cause trouble. Sister Caiyi thinks too much."
"Her temper was a bit stubborn, and it was useless to persuade her to do anything she decided. She was worried that if Wu Sansi thought, it would affect her brother's career, so she forced herself to endure it."
Li Zhiying was silent for a while and sighed: "The relationship between their brother and sister is really enviable sometimes."
Princess Taiping smiled and said, "Isn't that right? You haven't seen Cheng Boxian's attitude towards Caiyi. You should have taken your second cousin to the Cheng Mansion and let him learn from Cheng Boxian."
Li Zhiying smiled and said: "I heard that King Pei suddenly proposed to enshrine Mount Tai, is it true?"
Princess Taiping nodded and frowned: "Isn't it? This matter is really strange. After the Battle of Liaodong, the queen mother mentioned it once, and both King Pei and King Lu were opposed to it at the time."
"How long has passed and he actually took the initiative to mention this matter? I always feel like he is doing something behind his back!"
"Then what's aunt's attitude?"
"Although my mother is a little skeptical, I think she will agree."
"After all, she had persuaded her father once a long time ago. If Shangguan Yi's incident hadn't suddenly appeared, it might have happened at that time." Princess Taiping analyzed.
Li Zhiying secretly thought: "King Pei must have a purpose for his actions. He needs to let his husband know about this as soon as possible."
At this time, Princess Taiping suddenly said: "By the way, second cousin, do you know that your second cousin wrote a secret letter to your mother?"
Li Zhiying nodded and said: "He wants his aunt to send 10,000 Zuowuwei sergeants to Yangzhou, right?"
Princess Taiping blinked and said, "How do you know?"
Li Zhiying took out a letter from her sleeve and said with a smile: "He mentioned this in his letter."
Princess Taiping stood up suddenly, said, "Let me have a look," and copied the letter in her hand.
After reading it, he stamped his feet and said, "That's too much. My second cousin didn't even mention me in the letter!"
Li Zhiying hurriedly said: "Why not? Look at this sentence."
After speaking, my finger pointed to a certain paragraph in the envelope, and I saw it said: If you are bored, you can ask Taiping to come over and talk to you.
Princess Taiping remained silent and stared at Li Zhiying with resentful eyes.
Li Zhiying couldn't stand her gaze, lowered her head and said, "This is the letter he wrote to me. Go back home and take a look. Maybe he also wrote you a letter."
Princess Taiping's eyes lit up and she said, "That's right, then I'll go back."
He walked quickly towards the door, walked a few steps, then suddenly turned back, took two fruits on the table, and then left.
Returning to the Princess Mansion, Princess Taiping suddenly got off the carriage, walked up to a guard, and asked: "Hey, is there any letter from the mansion today?"
This was the first time that the guard was questioned by the princess. He was so surprised that he couldn't speak clearly and said: "Yes... yes... there is an envelope."
Princess Taiping was overjoyed and quickly entered the house. She ordered the housekeeper to be called and asked quickly: "Is it my second cousin who wrote to me?"
The steward respectfully handed over a letter and replied: "Yes, the letter is from His Highness the County Prince."
Princess Taiping took the letter and read it quickly.
After a while, the smile on her face turned into anger, and she snorted: "This guy who values his wife over his sister, all the letters he sends to his cousin are asking for help, but the letter he sends to me is to send me a mission!"
"Your Highness, what did the prince ask you to do for him?" At this time, anyone who dared to ask such a question was the only one in the entire princess's house who knew how to do it.
Princess Taiping glared at her and said, "Why are you asking so many questions? Hurry up and ask someone to prepare a carriage. I have to go to Zongzheng Temple."
The files of all officials in the DPRK are generally kept in the Ministry of Personnel.
Except for members of the royal family, their files are placed in Zongzhengji Temple and only the highest-ranking members of the royal family can read them.
Princess Taiping naturally has this authority.
The task Wu Chengsi gave her was to copy all the Yue Zao and Han Wang files from Yangzhou and send them to him.
Especially the files of Yue Wang Li Zhen.
