The early morning sun falls in the shadow of the osmanthus outside the corridor of the small room.
The long street of the Hou Mansion was filled with thunderous hooves. When the gatekeepers saw Su Jintian and his twelve companions coming like the wind, they dismounted in front of the gate of the Hou Mansion. The gatekeepers hurriedly went down the steps to lead the horses for them.
"Master Su is here."
"I heard that Madam Qing talked back to Mr. Hou again last night?"
"No, Madam Qing and Master Yan are at odds with each other. This has always been the case." Ma Liuer smiled. Most of the people in the mansion thought that Madam Qing and Master Yan were fighting for favor again.
The morning market on the long street was bustling, and the living puppets from last night had long disappeared, and the whips of the elephant slaves in the palace could not be heard. He still rewarded the fans who led the horses, and asked Xiao Qiao and the others to sit and wait for him in the concierge.
He strode into the Hou Mansion.
His expression was as usual, and it was completely impossible to tell that he was currently being feared in the capital.
——The best swordsman in the world was wounded by a sword, but he could still assassinate the demon lord outside the wall one after another to avenge his master.
People in the capital originally thought that the reason why the two Demon Palace Masters were killed was because Su Jintian colluded with Qing Luo. He used serious injuries as a cover up and killed two of them unexpectedly.
But now that Biying Palace is on guard, it will be impossible to succeed again.
Unexpectedly, he still found an opportunity and killed two more demon lords. At this moment, everyone in the capital seemed to have just remembered that Su Yingtian and Cao Xiwan were both assassins, and assassination was Su Daojun's specialty.
When he met Yang Gongfeng from the Tang Palace, Su Daojun showed off his skills as a master and fought a fair duel.
When he met the real demon lord and his enemy, Su Daojun used his unique skills.
Su Jintian had an evil look in his eyes and was holding a Biying knife. As he followed from the duty room, he heard the bickering and laughter between her and Lu Xiuyun.
He didn't stop, and walked directly in front of the door of the small duty room.
On the other hand, in the small duty room, Lu Xiuyun laughed and scolded her: "You yourself are unwilling to please the Marquis. Why don't you allow others to do this?"
"snort."
Cao Xiwan looked at the sky, turned on the lamp, and opened the window.
She looked at the outer study from the window and vaguely saw Su Jintian entering the outer study.
Mr. Hou, I'm afraid he also told Su Jintian to grab a few beads.
But she thought that the Marquis should not ask for Bizhu from Su Jintian. Su Jintian is not her Cao Xiwan.
She bothered the Marquis late at night, and no matter how deep the cover-up was, the Marquis would find out at least two or three points.
Because she followed her parents since she was a child and grew up in the uncle's house, and the marquis picked her up on the street anyway. Her parents and the old lady also had a relationship.
Is it true that a young master of the Demon Palace like Su Jintian, who came from far away from the Great Wall, has lived and died for the Marquis for many years, and is willing to serve as a hawk for the court? What's more, he has killed several demons in a row now.
He wanted to spread his wings and fly high.
The Marquis is just an obstacle.
She especially remembered that when Mr. Hou asked her to partner with Su Jintian, he ordered: "Xiao Wan, keep an eye on him and get rid of him if there is any abnormality."
"Yes, Lord Marquis, don't worry."
There were golden shadows on the osmanthus leaves outside the window. She was busy carrying a pot and filling it with hot water. She was also adding charcoal to the charcoal stove.
She wants to make medicinal porridge and bake cakes.
Song Po and Luo Ma woke up and asked for food.
Qin Meng and Chen's father came back from duty and wanted to eat. She often ate in the duty room and felt that she was quite good at making medicinal porridge. She was very proud of it.
"It's your share, eat it and then go back." She used chopsticks to stir the health-preserving medicine porridge, and asked Lu Xiuyun behind her, "I came to the Hou Mansion in the middle of the night, and I still held Qin on the road to avoid being caught.
Stopped me? Just something happened, why are you in such a hurry?"
Lu Xiuyun took a few sips of hot tea to cushion her stomach. The more she ate, the hungrier she became. The smell of porridge and cakes floated in the room. She felt the warm light of the morning shining on her body, which was a little warm. She put the tea in her hand on the window sill.
.
"Can it be served?"
"If you didn't come, I would have slept on the table. My cloak is over there."
Lu Xiuyun wiped the table, spread her cloak, climbed up on the table and squinted at the sun. She recalled the old memories of playing with Xiao Wan, Su Yun, Liu Ying and others in the house when she was a child.
Cao Xiwan looked back at her and couldn't help but smile.
Lu Xiuyun sighed: "Isn't this what I asked you to do last time?"
"What can we do now? If we ask the queen to raise her grandson now, the princess will not change her mind."
"You don't know. I have seen it with my own eyes. The Crown Princess used to have a deep love for the couple in the East Palace. Even our empress was on guard. When she was not pregnant with her grandson two years ago, Yang Guogong asked her sister to live in the palace for a few days.
She also lost her temper and cried so much that she became ill for several days. She was so frightened that Duke Yang never dared to mention it again. Her natal sisters, whether they were cousins or biological sisters, were not allowed to come to the East Palace at all.
Who would have expected that the Crown Princess would suddenly change her temper?"
"When she was young, she cared about the relationship between husband and wife. Now of course she has to worry about her own death. She has to protect her grandson."
Cao Xiyang turned around and knelt down, brought a bowl of porridge and a plate of small scones, and gave her a tray. She climbed up on the table and sat next to her.
Lu Xiuyun smiled at her and lowered her head to eat her breakfast.
Cao Xiwan twirled her fingers and whispered about the young couple in the noble mansion, which family's princess and which family's duchess, how about that.
Who is not the daughter of the Xun family? She was pampered by her parents at home, and she was young when she got married. In the early years, most of her concubines and husbands had troubles over a few ignorant intercourses. There were powerful wives who beat people to death and drove away pregnant women.
Common room.
Some of them violently scratched their husbands’ faces and started fighting with them.
There are ladies who use soft swords to slowly kill their sons and concubines, but she knows all about them.
Lu Xiuyun was well-informed in the palace. You heard this and was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said: "We are fine in the East Palace."
"There are only one concubine and one Liangdi around the East Palace, and he won't touch the other palace people at all." She hinted that the current queen and the mother-in-law of the East Palace were also supported by the side concubines. The queen is powerful and protects her son. Only the people in the East Palace Pavilion can
All peace.
"Anyway, mothers used to be noisy when they were young, but later they took care of their children and felt that their husbands were dispensable."
In addition to her grandson, the Crown Princess also has a newborn little princess, so how can she not be worried?
Lu Xiuyun also sighed, put down the tray, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and whispered about Song Liangdi's current difficult situation.
The Crown Princess begged the East Palace for the third time last night while she was ill. She wanted her sister from her mother's family to enter the East Palace and become an attendant first.
"When she can't do it, just create a crown princess?"
Lu Xiuyun nodded.
"What did Dong Gong say?"
"Donggong is still hesitating. Last night, I agreed to come to Liangdi's palace and let Liangdi temporarily hold the seal of the East Palace concubine. It can be regarded as officially taking charge of things in the East Palace and taking care of the grandson. In the past, everything was hard but I didn't have this title.
"Liang Di waited until midnight, but the East Palace didn't come, so she cried a lot when she waited for the news."
"Don't worry, I don't know if the empress can have a concubine. It's impossible for a girl from the Yang family. I've met Yang Jingshu. It's not her turn."
Lu Xiuyun was shocked and delighted: "How did you know it was Yang Jingshu?"
The Crown Princess has three biological sisters and five or six cousins! Even Empress Song finally found out who the Yang daughter the Crown Princess recommended to the East Palace was after receiving a secret report at midnight last night.
When she came out, she also wanted to ask Xiaowan to find out about Yang Jingshu.
"I went to the Yang family a few days ago and saw all the princess's sisters. When I thought about it, I thought it should be Yang Jingshu." After that, she jumped off the table, squatted by the charcoal stove, and shouted.
Blowing health porridge.
Lu Xiuyun was so happy that she quickly ran over and squatted next to her, took her pots and pans, and filled them one by one for her.
Cao Xiwan looked at her and smiled.
After Lu Xiuyun finished her work, she nudged her: "What does she look like? I am not as stupid as Miss Cao. I don't even know which one is Yang Jingshu."
Cao Xiwan kept laughing: "Okay, let me tell you - just like that, I have seen it with my own eyes. You and I can rest assured."
Lu Xiuyun was anxious, how could she rest assured? Yang's daughter must not be allowed to enter the palace again.
