The window on the second floor of Qinxiang Xiaozhu was open. Tang Mei, who was wearing a bun and a princess robe, stared at the group of people in the yard and shouted loudly.
The little prince Zhao Lian gritted his teeth and took back the hand holding the fan; the little eunuch Wang Shuangxi beside him rolled his eyes and took back the fly whisk with a hesitant look on his face; while the armored sword guards never moved.
According to blood relatives from the royal family, Zhao Lian is Tang Mei's cousin. Tang Mei has disliked Zhao Lian since she was a child, but this did not stop Zhao Lian from liking Tang Mei, and it was very pleasing to her. But at that time, Tang Mei
Zhao Lian was engaged to the prince and did not dare to reveal what he was thinking.
But later their engagement was annulled by the prince.
At first, Zhao Lian still didn't dare to go to Tang Mei. He was worried that the prince would suddenly regret it and he would "occupy" the prince's woman. The consequences could be imagined. So he waited and watched. Later, he suddenly heard that Tang Mei was
Zhao. Zhao Lian sighed sadly for a while.
The aristocratic circle is only that big, not to mention that there are evil bitches like Tang Qiu who deliberately spread rumors about Tang Mei, so if something goes wrong in the circle, it will spread quickly.
At this time, Zhao Lian heard that Tang Mei did not want to see her son-in-law, and also heard that Zhao Tian, who had ascended to the throne, wanted to remarry Tang Mei, so he couldn't wait to find this cousin who he had played with since childhood -
- Emperor Wanlong Zhao Tian. But Zhao Tian said, you go to the Duke's Mansion to ask for Tang Mei's opinion. Only if she agrees will I propose marriage.
So he came to the Duke's Mansion and confided his feelings to Tang Mei.
"What have you been doing? At this time, I have already married and been promoted to princess, and you come to me? Are you here to tease me? I don't welcome you here, please leave!"
It's a pity that Tang Mei didn't like him as always. She just said some harsh words in Xiaozhu, which basically drove Zhao Lian out. No wonder Zhao Lian looked so ugly at this time.
He was feeling unhappy. As soon as he walked out, he saw a pretty boy walking in. He was probably his adopted son-in-law. He was filled with evil spirits and planned to take it out on Su Ping. But at this moment, the sound of Tang Mei's eagles and cranes chirping.
From behind, she scolded the little prince mercilessly.
When it comes to this passionate man, there is only one word attached to him: cheap.
Even after listening to Tang Mei's cruel words, he still didn't give up. He even felt that Tang Mei actually had some thoughts about him, but she just blamed him for not coming earlier. Since he blamed him, he must be punished. He deserved to suffer some punishment.
But this pretty boy was really unlikable. He stayed at Miss Sixth's house, as if the little prince had sand in his eyes. But Zhao Lian did not have an attack, but said, "Be careful!"
Then he left.
…
"Your Majesty, arrangements have been made in Prince Qi's palace and we can take action at any time."
In the Qianyang Hall, Emperor Wanlong Zhao Tian was sitting on the dragon couch, holding a golden bottle, his eyes blurred from drinking. The hall was filled with the scent of women, but when Bu Chenfeng walked in, the women in the hall quietly disappeared.
"Well, very good." Zhao Tian handed the golden bottle in his hand to the young eunuch Lu Shi who was standing beside him, and said: "Fill it up for my brave warrior in Daliang."
Lu Shi did as he was told, filled the golden bottle, and handed it to Bu Chenfeng.
Bu Chenfeng thanked him and drank it all in one gulp.
Zhao Tian stood up swayingly: "After drinking this glass of wine, you will become my trusted minister. You will go through fire and water for me, and I will be rich and glorious for you. Go back and tell them, waiting for my order."
Bu Chenfeng took the order and retreated. When his figure disappeared completely, Zhao Tian laughed heartily. The young eunuch Lu Shi stood aside with a smile. But then Tang Zhao walked out of the screen and said: "Since your Majesty intends to punish King Qi, why bother?"
Let Zhao Lian propose to Tang Mei?"
Zhao Tian stopped laughing, but stared at Tang Zhao with a leering look: "Confusing them father and son. And I know that Tang Mei doesn't look down on Zhao Lian. Even if Tang Mei is blind, she still can't look down on him.
Tang Mei is the most proud woman I have ever seen."
"What about my concubine?"
"You..., you..., you are not a human being. No one can compare with you. Because you are my treasure!"
Seeing that the emperor was already drunk, Tang Zhao frowned and helped him and asked him to go back to his room to rest. However, Zhao Tian said that there were still memorials that had not been approved and he could not sleep. This made Tang Zhao smile and praise his majesty as a wise king. Zhao Tian
He put his hand into his arms, kneaded and pinched it, then wandered into the study.
Tang Zhao has already approved some memorials, but she can't make the final decision on some of them, or she thinks the emperor should take a look. So now there are still three-foot-high memorials folded there on the desk, and new memorials are sent from time to time.
Come in.
Zhao Tian drank until his eyes were straight, but it did not affect his judgment of right and wrong. When he saw some good news, he even composed a poem on the memorial.
Later, he saw the "Proposal on the title of Princess of Tang" submitted by the Tang family, saying that he would give Tang Mei the title of "Princess of Hexi" to declare his determination to regain Hexi.
"The yellow sand will wear golden armor in a hundred battles. If Loulan is not destroyed, it will never be returned. Are you satisfied with just Hexi? Since the Han Dynasty, the Western Region has been the territory of our country. Tell An Guogong to take Loulan to me and rebuild the Anxi Protectorate."
!”
He took up his pen and erased the words "Princess Hexi" and changed it to "Princess Loulan". Then the emperor fell asleep on the desk.
Early the next morning, the eunuch sent the certificate approved by the emperor to Duke Anguo's mansion, which confirmed that Tang, the Dacheng princess, would be titled Princess Loulan.
By the way, the princess was indeed born with a high nose and deep eyes, quite in the style of the Western Regions, so this title was in line with her appearance.
But Tang Mei was a little dissatisfied. She sat in the room and whispered, cursing Zhao Tian:
"It's just that he loves to play, there's no certainty. It was agreed at the beginning that we, the Tang family, would get the title ourselves. But it turned out that it was sent to him and changed again. How can he be a good emperor if he changes it day and night?"
"Hey, my little ancestor, please stop saying a few words." Grandma Wang brought the food, "It's better to say as little bad things about the emperor as possible, so as to avoid the trouble of spreading it to the emperor's ears."
Wang Jin'er came in with a bowl of soup and said, "I just met the Fourth Young Master on the road. The Young Master said that he has started preparing to decorate the Supervisory Office."
Tang Mei said: "He doesn't have much money, so how can he decorate it? I think it's better to tell him not to bother and just change the plaque."
Wang Jin'er said: "Then when will we move there?"
I don't know what Tang Mei thought of, but she frowned and said nothing.
…
It's time to hold the lamp.
In Prince Qi's Mansion, a tall armored warrior stood in front of the eunuch Wang Shuangxi. He was two heads taller than Wang Shuangxi. There was not a single hair on his shiny head. His eyes were fierce and he had a big bronze face.
, seems to have a big word "evil" written on it.
It is said that this armored warrior was selected by the King of Qi from among the Jinwu guards, and his name was Fan Kui. He was a rare enemy of ten thousand people. He first came to the Prince of Qi's palace, but he had not made any achievements.
Wang Shuangxi held the fly whisk in his arms, and a sharp voice sounded: "Today, our young prince went to Anguo Gong's Mansion and was deflated. The person who made our young prince deflated is named Su Ping. I have investigated and he is now from the Ministry of Punishment.
A ninth-grade swordsman. You must know that a mere ninth-grade swordsman is nothing more than an idiot in the eyes of my young prince."
Wang Shuangxi sneered and said: "I heard that he once defeated a Khitan warrior in the ring. It shows that his martial arts is not weak. I just wonder if you are afraid of him?"
The warrior named Fan Kui held his head high, like a rooster about to crow, and said loudly: "His Royal Highness King Qi said that I came to the palace to protect the whole family, and I am not allowed to leave my post without authorization."
Hearing this, Wang Shuangxi frowned: "You idiot, are you willing to let the young prince be humiliated?"
Fan Kui said: "You eunuch are so annoying. If you talk to me like this again, I will slap you out of the wall."
Wang Shuangxi said anxiously: "I didn't ask you to kill, I just asked you to monitor the killer for me. If the killer succeeds, you will escort the killer out of the city. If the killer fails, you cannot let the killer fall into the hands of the enemy. Do you understand?
My words?”
Fan Kui said: "Oh, I understand. If you do something immoral, you don't want people to know about your employer. Right?"
Wang Shuangxi rolled his eyelids: "So be it."
Fan Kui said: "I won't do this, but I can introduce you to someone. When it comes to finding people, tracking, and assassinating, he is better than me."
Wang Shuangxi narrowed his eyes: "Who is it?"
Fan Kui said: "Chen Gu."
"Is this person reliable?"
"Don't worry, I know the truth and it's very reliable. If he betrays me, I can take the punishment for him."
The little prince Zhao Lian, wearing a purple gold crown, returned to Prince Qi's Mansion and sat sullenly in a garden pavilion, like a defeated rooster, with his head drooping listlessly.
The eunuch Wang Shuangxi trotted through the Moon Gate, came to the little prince, and saluted: "Your Majesty, I have brought you the person you wanted."
Zhao Lian slowly raised his head and glanced lazily towards the Moon Gate, where he saw a warrior with a black headband and a forehead band.
Although he was still far away and couldn't see the warrior's face clearly, he exuded a wild aura in his bones, and it was obvious at first glance that he was not a good person.
"I won't talk to him anymore. I'll leave these matters to you to arrange." Zhao Lian pointed at Wang Shuangxi and said, "You must not let anyone know that I am the employer!"
Wang Shuangxi immediately said: "Don't worry, little prince, he has already contacted the person responsible for the assassination. Those people only work for money and never ask about their employer."
"who?"
"This is the person who broke into Anguo's mansion not long ago."
Zhao Lianyi frowned: "Weren't the three swordsmen already captured?"
Wang Shuangxi said: "The three who broke into Miss Seven's courtyard were arrested, but there are two more outside the courtyard. One is named Hu Tongtian, and the other is named Li Chengbang. Li Chengbang is known as 'Desert Wolf'..."
Zhao Lian said impatiently: "There is no need to introduce them to me. I am not interested in getting to know those gangsters. As long as they do a good job, I will give them money. I emphasize again, don't let people know that I am hiring people."
Wang Shuangxi clasped his hands in his fists and solemnly promised: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will definitely get things done."
Zhao Lian stood up, looked around, and saw plum trees. A month ago, plum blossoms were blooming all over the courtyard here, but now they saw petals falling to the ground. Feeling emotional at the scene, he couldn't help but murmured: "The spring breeze is blowing, and there are only a few branches left empty overnight. Amei, you
