Yiyangfang is close to Dongshi, where people come and go for business, and is a place where ordinary people live together.
It had just dawned, and the streets were already filled with people as usual.
Matchmaker Zhang cursed and walked back, "Are you arguing with me? You're a little old bastard. You should practice for a few more years when you go back."
She suddenly stopped and looked at the soy milk stall on the roadside suspiciously.
"Tofu Xishi, you are grinning to the back of your head. What, did your girl marry a wealthy family or did your son marry a girl who doesn't mind your family being poor?"
Tofu Xishi rolled her eyes, she had long been accustomed to her old neighbor's mouth.
"Matchmaker Zhang, can you poke someone's heart without opening your mouth? Haven't you seen that fewer and fewer people come to you as a matchmaker in the past few years?"
It’s really a matter of which pot should not be opened.
The matchmaker's face turned cold and she wanted to get some advantage in her mouth.
However, her eyes rolled and she closed her mouth again.
Tofu Xishi's children are already very old, but they have not yet found a mate, which has always been a pain in her heart.
However, at this time, Tofu Xishi changed from her normal state and kept smiling, without looking angry at all.
Matchmaker Zhang couldn't help but be curious.
"Hey, did you pick up money on the street or did you encounter something good? Tell me about it?"
cough.
Tofu Xishi looked around and saw that no one was coming to do business yet, so she cleared her throat proudly.
"I'm sure it will shock you if I tell you this. It's confidential, so I won't say it anymore."
cut!
The matchmaker Zhang said it in disbelief, but seeing the fussy look on his old neighbor's face, he felt a little itchy and helpless.
"Okay. I've been an old neighbor for decades. I'll take care of your business. That's alright."
hey-hey.
Tofu Xishi lowered her voice while making soy milk.
"Remember the newspaper a few days ago, His Majesty suddenly named Prince Ning. The whole Star City was talking about it, but no one knew his identity..."
"So you know?" Zhang Pitou, the matchmaker, took over the subject.
"Of course," Tofu Xishi nodded, "How about it? You didn't lose money on this soy milk."
Matchmaker Zhang ignored this, his eyes still full of suspicion.
"You're just a bad old woman selling tofu on the street, how do you know about such an important royal matter?"
hey-hey.
Tofu Xishi is proud of it.
"Didn't my man follow the caravan to Yunzhong County to transport wood? I accidentally overheard it on the way. In fact, Prince Ning's identity has already been spread in other places."
"Really?" Matchmaker Zhang was a little disappointed.
Regardless of whether they were poor or rich, the people of the imperial capital always considered themselves superior when facing the people of other counties.
Now the news has spread to other places, but Xingji City knows nothing about it.
Matchmaker Zhang couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"Then who is Prince Ning?"
"He," Tofu Xishi chuckled, "Actually, we already knew his name a few years ago."
"All of us?" Matchmaker Zhang's eyes widened in disbelief.
"That's right!" Doufu Xishi nodded, "Do you still remember the epidemic that happened in Yunzhong County a few years ago?"
"I know." The matchmaker's face turned dark and she nodded silently.
How could she forget such a life-threatening event?
And since then, the wedding market in Xingji City has plummeted, her income has dropped again and again, and her temper has become increasingly weird.
hey-hey.
"Later, everyone knew. There was a general who knew who God was, and he said that the current epidemic is actually a kind of poison..."
Rumble.
The matchmaker opened her head and made a fuss, then finally thought about it.
"What? This general who God knows is the future King Ning?"
Um.
Tofu Xishi nodded seriously.
"We have a good relationship with neighbors, so I told you. Don't tell anyone else casually after you go back."
The matchmaker Zhang said nothing and walked away in despair.
It didn't take long for this news to spread throughout Xingji City, and it soon became known to everyone.
"Which bastard has such a big mouth!" Du Ziming, the commander of the Jinlin Guards, wiped his sweat after receiving the news.
God knows!
To ordinary people, this is a figure like a god or Buddha. For example, in Yunzhong County, there is a tall statue of Ren Ning.
But if God knows it is a prince......
Du Ziming no longer dared to think about it.
He quickly entered the palace with the information he received.
However, Du Ziming failed to meet Emperor Changxing.
The old emperor now sleeps much longer than he is awake, and as soon as he wakes up he screams in pain, unable to care about anything else.
In the end, Du Zi knew that he had waited for a long time in vain and had to walk out silently.
Before preparing to leave the palace, he couldn't help but look in the direction of the East Palace, and wanted to make a report.
cough.
The guard next to him coughed slightly.
"Sir, the prince is not reliable to begin with. Prince Ning has a noble status and powerful strength. Now there is another saying that God knows..."
"For the sake of our future, please don't go to the East Palace."
Anyway, it's all in vain.
well.
Du Ziming sighed, turned around and silently returned to Jinlinwei Yamen.
Zhenguogongfu.
"Has the news spread?" Princess Yiguang asked.
Huo Qing nodded, "Back to grandma, the news has spread. Jinlinwei once thought about taking control, but the news spread too fast, and Du Ziming failed."
"Control?" Princess Yiguang sneered, "Your Majesty said it himself, and everyone in Yunchui knew it at that time. How can they control it?"
Madam Zhang next to her lowered her head silently.
Rock Frontier Fortress sent two military doctors back last year. At that time, she really thought they were coming back to learn medical skills.
Now, one of them is in charge of the Duke's Mansion, and the other is in charge of the Grand Master's Mansion.
Only then did she understand what was going on.
This was obviously because they were worried that if something happened in Xing Ji City, all the shops on the street would close their doors tightly. For the sake of safety, two military doctors were allowed to stay.
Ta-ta-ta.
At this time, footsteps hurriedly sounded
The old manager came in.
"Your Highness, Crown Prince, Mrs. Zhongyongbo, please see me!"
Grandfather and grandson looked at each other in surprise.
Zhenguo Gongfu and Zhongyong Bo's Mansion lived across the street, and Liu Wan often brought her daughter-in-law to Zhenguo Gongfu as a guest.
But this moment is not the other moment, so it would be better if Uncle Zhongyong’s house did not close the door tightly and distance themselves from each other.
What is Liu Wan thinking?
"Let Mrs. Bo come in."
After a while, Liu Wan and her maid led a tall man in.
"I have met His Highness and the Crown Prince."
Princess Yiguang nodded, motioned for her to sit aside, and her eyes fell on the tall, dark man.
"Who is this?"
"Your Majesty, Lu Yulong, the commander-in-chief of the Jade Dragon Fleet of the East China Sea Barrier, has met Her Royal Highness the Princess, the Crown Prince."
Princess Yiguang and Huo Qing looked at each other.
The East China Sea Barrier was founded by the Xiao family and was firmly under their control even decades ago.
Lu Yulong came to Xingji City and paid a visit to Zhongyong Bo's house. They could understand.
But what are you going to do in your own town?
Lu Yulong's face looked a little gloomy.
The general, Lu Fuhai, has not returned yet. Today, the people of the East China Sea Barrier are distracted, and some so-called meetings are often held to discuss everything.
The first time Lu Yulong went there, he was in a daze for the entire afternoon.
The second time, Lu Yulong went anyway and spent a whole day on boarding.
The third time, the fourth time, the nth time...
Lu Yulong sat for a while, then got up and left impatiently.
Many generals saw this scene and asked casually if they were close to him, but most of them said nothing.
The Yulong fleet is now in Baekje. Lu Yulong has no fleet in his hands, so he has no right to speak. No one cares about him or his absence.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, Lu Yulong arrived at Xingji City and now entered the Zhenguo Palace in the eye of the storm.
"Your Highness," Lu Yulong took out a letter from his arms, "I have something urgent to report to you."
"Last year the Japanese pirates landed in Huayang County. My son Lu Ping'an was responsible for the defense on the shore. He once received a secret letter from Xingji City. The letter asked us to cooperate with the enemy..."
What?
Princess Yiguang Boran was furious and stood up.
