Hello Chang'an Chapter 153

Chapter 153 Asking the Saints for Perfection

Chang Suining nodded.

"Where did His Highness say it is?" Duan asked excitedly.

"Your Highness didn't say anything, but he took me to see it in his dream." Chang Suining said very mysteriously: "It was in a garden, buried under a peach tree."

"In the garden, under the peach tree..." Mrs. Duan thought for a while and said uncertainly: "In the eldest princess's mansion, there are five or six large gardens for urination and urination, and there are also peach trees planted in more than one place..."

Relying on this alone as a clue to find the box is not enough.

"I remember the location in the dream very clearly. If there really is such a peach tree, I will definitely be able to recognize it." Chang Sui Ning said.

Of course she couldn't tell her in too much detail, otherwise Duan Zhenyi would go looking for her on his own, so why would he need to take her with him?

She was not a child who gave away money. She wanted to give a box of treasures to Duan Zhenyi for no reason. The reason why she mentioned this was because there was something she wanted to get back.

Although there is a way to solve the problem of wanting to push her to be the crown princess, this matter has also sounded a wake-up call for her - when someone throws her on the chessboard as a chess piece, if she doesn't want to be helpless, , if you don't want to have to resort to self-inflicted damage to escape, you need to prepare for some things in advance, and you need to hold some things in your hands as early as possible to prepare for emergencies.

Hearing that she could identify the hiding place, Duan's eyes lit up: "That's really great!"

She is considered a theist, and she always prefers to believe in some mysterious things.

Anyway, you won't suffer any loss if you give it a try. What if you really get it?

She held Chang Suining's hand and said with a smile: "In that case, after returning to Beijing, I will find an excuse and we will go to the eldest princess's mansion."

Smiling and laughing, but fearing that he seemed too happy, he showed a sad look in front of the junior: "It doesn't matter whether it's something or not. The important thing is that if I can find His Highness's old things, it can be considered as a thought..."

Chang Sui Ning followed suit: "But it's just a dream. Maybe I just happen to dream about it when I'm thinking about it. I may not be able to help my wife find old things."

Too much faith seems to be a ghost.

Although... no matter from which perspective, this matter is indeed caused by ghosts.

Duan patted her hand: "It doesn't matter, it's good to give it a try."

As he said that, he pulled her to sit down at the table.

Duan's sad look just now was not all an act. At this moment, she couldn't help but talk about the eldest princess's mansion: "...but I still remember the insane female envoy I saw when I went to the eldest princess's mansion to worship. ?”

Chang Suining nodded, knowing that she was talking about Yuchi.

"The female envoy used to serve Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. She suddenly left the mansion a few days ago for unknown reasons and drowned in the river behind the mansion..." Duan said: "I heard that there were more than two people there. It happened months ago.”

I always have peace of mind and thoughts.

Duan Zhenyi also knew about this matter, so it seemed that nothing was found after Ming Dynasty, so for the time being, the matter was settled by drowning in jade chips.

Now Yuchi is dead in front of others.

But maybe one day, he will come back to life - if one day, the truth of that year needs to be known.

"Nowadays... the people and things related to His Highness are gradually gone away." Duan said with some sadness.

Looking at his hand held by Mrs. Duan, Chang Suining commented that this was gradually getting further away, but it was still quite close to him.

But Duan Zhenyi's sentimentality at this moment doesn't seem like an act.

"No." Chang Sui Ning said: "Isn't there still a lady who remembers His Highness?"

Duan Zhenyi is really loyal, so her box of treasures will be cheaper for Duan Zhenyi.

The box was buried in the garden of the eldest princess's mansion. The garden was in the middle of the entire mansion. If she dug it alone, she would have no choice but to sneak into the mansion secretly. Once discovered, the consequences would be disastrous.

What's more, after Yuchi disappeared, the security of the eldest princess's mansion was probably tighter than before. It was really not an easy task to sneak into the depths of the mansion and dig out a box.

There are things you can take risks, and there are things you can't and don't have to take risks with.

Because Duan Zhenyi always kept the box in mind, she could use Duan Zhenyi as a cover to dig openly without causing unnecessary trouble to herself.

You cannot save money that should be spent, and you must be willing to give away treasures that should be given away.

After Mingluo returned from Mingjin's place, he reported Mingjin's injuries to the Holy Emperor.

The Holy Emperor raised his eyebrows: "He really has no peace of mind for a moment, and even being grounded for several months has not allowed him to develop any memory."

Mingluo also looked distressed and reproachful.

"I heard that he was injured during a horse race with Mr. Chang family?" Emperor Shengzhi asked.

"Yes, the Chang family's wife is also present." Mingluo said: "But it is said that it has nothing to do with the Chang family's husband. It was Ashen who was eager to win and took away the war horse of His Royal Highness without permission. However, his riding skills were not good and he could not control the horse. The fierce war horse accidentally fell off the horse and was accidentally injured by the horse of the Master of the Chang family following closely behind. "

My aunt knew what happened at the racecourse as soon as she found out. There was no need for her to say something ambiguous and put the blame on the Chang family siblings—

Such behavior is too superficial and stupid, and will make my aunt unhappy.

She might as well be fair and generous and put all the blame on Ashen himself.

Anyway, she didn't care what happened to Ashen.

After all, Chang Sui Ning was already the future crown princess, so it was no longer worth her trouble.

In the future, she might as well be more generous.

"He actually touched Axiao's war horse?" The Holy Book Emperor said in a displeased tone.

"Yes." Mingluo lowered his eyes and said, "It was Governor Cui who personally placed it in this hibiscus garden a few years ago."

"It's really wanton and reckless." The Holy Emperor frowned and asked, "Did Cui Qing know about this?"

"Admiral Cui immediately rushed to the racecourse and took the horses back." Mingluo said, "I just want to think that Ashen is injured, and we will investigate Ashen's fault later."

The Holy Book Emperor's expression darkened: "He should be punished well, and he should also be made to know that he can covet anything."

Not only was her nephew useless, he also thought he was too superior to others.

Hearing the hidden meaning of the emperor's words, Mingluo restrained his expression and did not dare to answer the words casually.

"But, speaking of this..." The Holy Emperor suddenly thought of something, and his eyes moved slightly, "The out-of-control horse that the Chang family's wife surrendered today was actually Axiao's war horse?"

Li Lu, the crown prince of Prince Rong, had just visited and explained to her what happened at the racecourse and how he was rescued by a girl from the Chang family.

Hearing the sudden question from the Holy Emperor, Mingluo reacted for a moment and then said: "I think you're right."

She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she always felt that there seemed to be a sense of extension in her aunt's tone of question, but she didn't know where it extended.

"She is quite capable. She can even control Axiao's war horse." The voice of the Holy Book Emperor was much softer, as if he was a little absent-minded.

Mingluo couldn't guess what the emperor was thinking, so he only agreed.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Until the Holy Emperor spoke again: "Is the dinner ready?"

"Back to Your Majesty, everything is ready." Today is the last day of the flower party. This last dinner is not in the dining hall, but in the Furong Garden. The banquet is held in the open air for the Mid-Autumn Festival to enjoy the moon. Night banquet.

According to calculations and observations by Si Tiantai, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival moon will be the largest and fullest on August 17, which is why the moon-viewing banquet is scheduled for tonight.

The news that the eldest son of the Ming family was injured spread like wildfire, but this did not affect the dinner party where there was still singing, dancing, and drinking.

Ying Guogong still appeared at the moon-viewing banquet, with his two sons sitting next to him, but his wife was not seen.

The men's and women's seats are arranged on the left and right, with music and dancing in the middle. All around are two people sharing a small table, which is filled with seasonal fruits and exquisite moon cakes and snacks, as well as delicious food and wine.

The beautiful scenery and fine wine made people excited. Some officials recited poems to the moon, and the Holy Emperor raised his glass and invited his ministers to drink together. It seemed like a harmonious relationship between the monarch and his ministers.

"Why don't you see your eldest brother?" Cui Lang's eyes searched everywhere, but he still didn't see his eldest brother.

"Dalangjun must be busy with official duties." Yihu, who was kneeling beside him, guessed: "The emperor will return to Beijing tomorrow, and Dalangjun must have a lot of things to arrange."

The Xuance Army has the power to protect the capital. Whenever the Holy Emperor travels, in addition to the imperial guards, he will often name the Xuance Army to accompany him and protect him.

"That's right, elder brother is a very busy man." Cui Lang said regretfully, "It's a pity that we have such beautiful wine, beautiful scenery, good singing and dancing."

Since the eldest brother is not here, he will take his place as well.

Cui Lang wanted to drink and enjoy the singing and dancing, but for some reason, his eyes kept looking uncontrollably in the direction of the ladies' seats opposite. Let alone watching the dancing, he even gradually felt that the sleeves dancing in the hands of the dancers were really in the way. I just wish I couldn't get some scissors and cut them all off.

In the women's banquet room, Chang Sui Ning and Qiao Yumian were sitting together. A neighboring girl invited them to drink fruit wine together. Chang Sui Ning declined politely and offered tea instead of wine.

Chang Suining held the unfinished osmanthus honey tea and looked up at the moon.

The moon is full and full, and its brilliance is very bright. It is so close that it gives people the illusion that it is within reach of a high pavilion.

Cui Jing was also looking at the full moon in the sky.

He stood in a long corridor, and the moonlight poured into the corridor, intersecting with the light cast by the lanterns hanging under the corners of the corridor, stretching and elongating the shadow behind him.

The young man is tall and straight, wearing a round-collared purple robe of a first-class military attache. The animal emblems embroidered on the chest, shoulder and sleeves are awe-inspiring. In addition, the young man has an alienated aura and a sword at his side, which gives people an even more aloof feeling in the night. The feeling of being unattainable and unapproachable.

The moonlight brought the coolness of autumn and reflected between the young man's brows and eyes, but it did not add any coolness to his cold brows and eyes. Instead, it gave him a hazy look of tranquility.

He rarely felt this quiet and peaceful.

This peace comes from looking at the bright moon.

This bright moon is originally out of reach. It is destined to remain so out of reach. Only its light can be seen in the distance -

At this moment, this distant light seemed to fall on him.

Cui Jing stretched out her right hand. The big hand with distinct joints was a little rough, but the moonlight falling on it was particularly soft.

And his movement of holding that silent moonlight was cherished and pious.

Yuan Xiang came over and couldn't help but curiously asked: "Grand Governor, what are you picking up?"

He also put his hand out of the corridor and picked it up, but it was clear that there was nothing.

Cui Jing came back to her senses, uncomfortably took back her right hand and put it behind her back, and asked as seriously as possible: "Is everything arranged?"

"Yes, everything has been arranged according to the instructions given by the Governor. We just have to return to Beijing tomorrow." After Yuan Xiang answered, he asked: "Everything is done, can the Governor go and sit at the banquet?"

"I won't go." Cui Jing walked out of the corridor.

He didn't like to attend banquets, and it was already halfway through the banquet.

As for that plan, after some deliberations during the day, the time was set for the Double Ninth Festival harvest ceremony to worship ancestors next month.

In her words, there is no need to be too anxious about this matter. The marriage decree will not be issued tomorrow, and there will be a "fight" in the court for a while. She might as well wait and see for a while. If the Changsun family wins, then she Then he can be passively eliminated, so there is no need to trouble him to come forward.

If you can borrow the strength of others, there is no reason to let your own people contribute - these are her exact words, and they are indeed in line with her consistent style, and he was actually considered one of her own by her at that time.

She doesn't lack solutions, nor does she lack the patience and determination to wait for better and less laborious solutions to appear on their own.

Well, that is to say, his plan is just a backstop, and in fact he will most likely be unable to help again.

Thinking of this, Cui Jing wanted to laugh.

But it doesn't matter whether he can help, as long as she can solve the problem smoothly. If he can, he is willing to support her, and it doesn't matter whether she needs it or not.

"Grand Governor, you seem to be in a good mood today." Yuan Xiang said with a smile as he walked out of the corridor.

Cui Jing paused briefly: "Is there any?"

"Yes!" Yuan Xiang nodded heavily and couldn't help but ask: "Are you happy?"

"Um."

Cui Jing did not deny it.

Yuan Xiang's eyes lit up: "Then tell your subordinates about it and let them be happy with you!"

After all, this is so rare!

Cui Jing: "No."

The rejection was concise and to the point.

Yuan Xiang was scratching his head but could do nothing - others reported good news but not bad news, but the governor of his family did not even report good news. Finally, he had something happy, but he was secretly happy by himself. How could he express his happiness to others? Can it be separated by others?

In the Furong Garden, the moon-viewing banquet is coming to an end.

Prince Rong's crown prince Li Lu put the second glass of wine into his mouth. The wine was so spicy that he choked and coughed.

The personal waiter looked nervous and hurriedly patted his back: "Your Majesty, why do you think of having a drink? You never drink alcohol, how can you choke on two glasses of this in a row..."

It was rare for the prince not to be frightened and sick by something that frightened the horse today, so why did he suddenly start drinking uncharacteristically?

I don't know whether it was due to coughing or drinking, Li Lu's face turned red, and then as if he mustered up some courage, he stood up and left his seat, walked in front of everyone, raised his hand and saluted the Holy Emperor: "My nephew is brave, I have something to think about. Seek success from the saints.”

There was silence, and everyone at the table looked over.

The Holy Emperor had just noticed his drinking behavior, and seeing his demeanor at this time, he asked with a smile: "Is it possible that he has a girl he likes and wants me to marry him?"

This hibiscus flower banquet is not only about choosing the future crown princess, but also choosing a good match for the clan's children. Li Lu's marriage was something she had promised in advance - as long as he had someone to sleep with at the flower banquet. , she will definitely fulfill it.

But even if there is the word "as long as", the other party's choice will also become a certain reference.

The Holy Emperor was a little curious as to which girl the Prince Rong's only son would choose.

"Yes, my nephew does have someone he likes..." Prince Rong's tone was a bit hesitant, but he finally made up his mind and knelt down with a solemn expression, lifting his robe towards the Emperor of the Holy Book.
