Yu Fengjin quickly got up and dressed, and went to open the door.
Ping Si stood outside the door in a dusty state. He hadn't seen him for several days. He seemed to have lost weight and became much darker.
Seeing King Yi, Pingsi quickly bowed and said with a hearty smile: "Your Highness, long time no see! How are you? You've been here for so long, are you tired of waiting?"
Yu Fengjin's eyes were shining, she patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Everything is fine, I'm just waiting for you to come back. Now that I see you coming back safely, I feel relieved! Come in and talk!"
Yu Fengjin led him to the table and poured him another cup of tea: "Pingsi, thank you for all the hard work of traveling all the way."
"It is a humble honor to serve His Highness!" Ping Si took the tea cup with both hands respectfully, raised his eyelids and glanced at Yu Fengjin. Seeing that his expression was not good, he hurriedly asked: "Your Highness, everything in Beijing is okay.
?」
The night was as cool as water, and the air was filled with the unique fragrance of wine and powder from Xiaoxiang Villa. The flickering candlelight was projected from across the street, breaking the gloomy night.
The stars in the sky flickered uneasily, which made people feel a little upset.
Yu Fengjin looked away from the window and said in as calm a tone as possible: "The emperor has just issued a decree to send an envoy to escort Hu Qi back to Annan to inherit the throne. And Lu Ning... will also go with him."
Hei Si was shocked: "Why do you want to go with the young gang leader?"
He instantly understood the reason for Yu Fengjin's ugly expression.
"Because it was Hu Qi's request, she did not refuse. She always seemed to find it difficult to refuse Hu Qi's request..." Yu Fengjin stopped here and began to play with the tea cup in her hand sadly.
"Otherwise, we can find a way to get the old gang leader to come forward and keep the young gang leader in Beiyu?" Pingsi suggested boldly.
"Did you find out anything on this trip?" Yu Fengjin raised her eyelids and cast an expectant look at him.qo.o
Ping Si took a sip from the teacup and then slowly spoke: "Back to Your Highness, I went to Annan to find out. There is indeed a prince named Hu Qi in the royal family. He did escape from this civil strife..."
Although he carefully considered every word, he could not turn a piece of bad news into good news.
Yu Fengjin did not show disappointment, but asked calmly: "Have you ever found out what kind of person this Hu Qi is? What are his characteristics that are easy to identify?"
Pingsi pondered for a moment and said: "I have inquired around and found out that this man has no political talent, but the six skills of a gentleman are the best in Annan! In addition, he is handsome and likes to travel around. He is comparable to the current Crown Prince Annan.
Perfectly matched!"
Yu Fengjin frowned and murmured in a low voice: "Did I really guess wrong? But why, I am always uneasy."
This statement reminded Hei Si. He was stunned for a moment and said in deep thought: "Your Highness, I have never seen this prince, so I wonder what his physical condition is like."
Yu Fengjin frowned slightly and said in surprise: "Why do you ask like that?"
Ping Si explained in a deep voice: "Your Highness, I also heard from my humble position that Hu Qi has always been in poor health because he was born prematurely. He always looks sick, so people still jokingly call him the "Sick Young Master"!
"
Yu Fengjin thought about it carefully and muttered: "This Hu Qi looks energetic and rosy, but he doesn't look like someone who has been sick all year round. However, it is indeed a bit weak to prove that his identity is false based on this alone."
Ping Si saw that Yu Fengjin looked a little disappointed, so he tried to think back, and suddenly said: "Your Highness, I also heard about one thing, I don't know if it has anything to do with this!"
Yu Fengjin lazily covered the stove and said calmly: "Let's talk about it."
Ping Si poured him a cup of tea and said eloquently: "When I came back from Annan, I heard about something. At that time, the Annan delegation was kidnapped as soon as they arrived in Beiyu. However, they were soon released.
Yes! What’s strange is that the people from the mission didn’t say anything and immediately left for Shengjing as if nothing happened.”
Yu Fengjin's expression changed and she said in a deep voice, "Who would have the courage to hijack a mission of hundreds of people?"
"I heard he's a famous local bandit!"
There was a hint of mockery on Yu Fengjin's face: "Bandits always run for money, but I have never heard of any bandits letting people leave unharmed. These bandits are really good at stealing!"
"That's not all the strange things about this matter." Ping Si took a breath and continued: "I asked some friends in the world to find out. In fact, it was the Annan mission who killed the bandits and was able to escape safely. Afterwards,
, the local yamen was afraid that the emperor would blame them for their failure to suppress the bandits and put the Annan mission in danger. Therefore, the entire yamen from top to bottom submitted their resignations and quickly left the place."
Hearing this, Yu Fengjin's face suddenly darkened, and her eyes darkened: "This matter is really strange! Have you checked out the bandits who were killed and the officials who were promoted to official positions?"
Pingsi lowered his eyes and shook his head in annoyance: "This matter was caused by Beizi's negligence! Beizi was worried about the safety of the young gang leader, so he was in a hurry to get back and did not follow the clues to continue investigating! But don't worry, Your Highness, Beizi will soon
Go back and continue to follow the clues!"
Yu Fengjin raised her eyes to look at him, and her tone became much gentler: "You have been running very hard all the way, and you are not in a hurry. Now that you have a direction, let your friends in the world pursue it. Moreover, the Annan mission is currently being held in the imperial court.
In prison. You need to rest for a few days, and then go to the prison to see if you can find out anything from them."
Ping Si sighed and stubbornly insisted: "This matter is of great importance, and I really don't trust others to investigate. I will set off in two days to continue the investigation. As for those people in the prison, I believe Master Ruan can investigate clearly.
"
Mentioning Ruan Lang, Yu Fengjin slowly lowered his eyes and sighed helplessly: "You came back just in time to enlighten Ruan Lang. These days... he is having a very difficult time..."
"What's wrong, Mr. Ruan?" Pingsi suddenly became nervous.
Yu Fengjin smiled lightly and said warmly: "Of course Wang Jing has made things difficult for him again, but don't worry, this matter will pass soon..."
——Hundreds of plays in the water——
On March 3rd, by the Jinming Pond, delicate wickers fluttered in the wind. The treetops were dyed with a light goose yellow, and a new light green was added to the clear water waves.
The flat and open road was full of cars and horses, and there were so many tourists. The dust kicked up went straight to the nose and stained the beautiful spring clothes of the tourists.
Shangsi Festival is the busiest day in spring in Shengjing City.
Jin-Myeong Pond and Qionglin Garden outside Suncheon Gate are open to the public from the first day of March to the eighth day of April every year.
Therefore, during these days, whether it is windy or rainy, it cannot stop people from traveling.
The dawn bell in the palace struck, and thousands of doors opened.
The emperor's guard of honor lined up on both sides of the jade steps, surrounded by hundreds of officials, and entered the Shuixin Palace of Xianqiao, preparing to climb to the Baojin Tower to watch the hundreds of water plays.
The tea flower in front of Shuixin Palace is in bud, exuding a faint fragrance. The fluttering flags are gently brushing the willow branches, and the branches are still stained with the clear dew of the night.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were sitting upright on the Baojin Tower, drinking the fine wine given by the emperor and staring at Jin Mingchi, eagerly awaiting the start of the performance.
A gust of spring breeze blew by, and suddenly seven large boats covered in red and colorful colors were drawn on the pond. On the largest boat in the middle, a colorful building decorated with colorful brocade was built.
The sound of sheng, flutes and drums sounded, and the two boats next to the stage moved hand in hand, slowly came over, and set up a two-story swing on the pool.
Everyone held their breath and looked at it, only to see a graceful and graceful woman wearing silk flowers and Luo Shang sitting on the swing. She was swinging gently on the swing with her bare feet, and her skirt as thin as cicada wings was flying in the wind.
.
All the sound of drumming suddenly stopped, and the woman on the swing picked up a shimmering bamboo flute, placed it under her delicate and red lips and played it.
The long flute sound slowly rises, gentle and ethereal, like flowing clouds.
Everyone here was intoxicated by the heavenly sound of the flute and could not let it go for a long time.
Even Emperor Yu, who had read countless people, was fascinated by such a meandering scroll and the beautiful flute sound.
He narrowed his eyes, pointed at the beauty, and asked Eunuch Shuangxi: "Where did that beauty on the swing come from?"
Eunuch Shuangxi bowed with a fly whisk in hand and said softly: "Your Majesty, that's from Yungui!"
Emperor Yu's eyes were filled with joy. He patted his thigh and laughed and said, "Okay! What a peerless beauty who would give me an unexpected surprise on a day like this!"
Eunuch Shuangxi immediately leaned forward and said with a smile: "I heard that the Yungui people have secretly prepared for this performance for a long time, and they really put a lot of thought into it!"
Emperor Yu smiled and nodded, his face bright.
The long flute sound gradually stopped, and the Yungui man slowly stood up on the swing.
She grabbed the ropes on both sides with both hands, stepped on the swing with her bare feet, and used the ups and downs of her body to swing the swing up in the air.
The swing swings higher and higher, almost level with the water. Everyone watching has their hearts beating faster and their breathing quickening.
Suddenly, the Yungui man loosened his hands and jumped into the air, like a colorful koi, diving lightly into the water, causing a wave of waves, and then disappeared.
Seeing this scene, the people in the viewing seats became quiet instantly. Everyone stood up in unison and stared at the water for a moment.
Until the water surface became calm and not even a ripple appeared. Manchao Wenwu took a deep breath and began to discuss anxiously.
Emperor Yu stood up loudly, pointed at the water and shouted: "Come here! Go and save the Yungui people! Hurry!"
The navy troops guarding the Jinming Pool were ordered to take off their clothes and belts one by one and jump into the water to rescue.
At this moment, a string of bubbles suddenly appeared on the surface of the water.
In the blink of an eye, the bubbles went from strings of two to more and more, and became denser and denser.
Immediately afterwards, the dancers slowly emerged from the water one after another. Their hands and feet were touching each other, forming a circle.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of drums on the boat played again, and a graceful beauty slowly surfaced on the water. She was the long-lost Yungui man.
Seeing that she was safe and sound, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and sat back in their seats to continue watching the performance.
Emperor Yu also let out a long sigh, but his sharp eyes stared at her closely!
These sweet and graceful singers dance in the water to the melodious and beautiful vocal music.
Every raise of a hand and every lift of a foot brings up a wave of waves, sparkling under the reflection of the warm sun.
The music is lively and the dancing is lingering.
Everyone here was watching with rapt attention and their hearts were filled with emotion.
Emperor Yu's face was always filled with a proud and satisfied smile, but he did not see the queen beside him, whose face was livid with anger.
The eldest prince on the other side ignored the dissuasion of Gu Sisi beside him, and while watching the performance, he held the wine bottle in front of him and kept drinking himself.
At the end of a touching and wonderful performance, warm and lasting applause came and went, rippling in the Jin-Ming Pond and lingering for a long time.
Emperor Yu also stood up, clapped his hands and cheered continuously. Accompanied by Eunuch Shuangxi, he personally walked downstairs and went to the shore to welcome the Yungui people.
Seeing the Yungui man emerging from the pond like a fish, soaked to the skin, he immediately stretched out his hand to Han Yan.
The Yungui people were so flattered that they quickly put their jade hands in Emperor Yu's hands and said in a disgusting voice: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I'm sorry for showing my shame!"
