This used to be the Marquis of Wuding's mansion, it was extremely luxurious, with an area of more than 2,000 square meters, after some transformation, it was naturally more luxurious, but the style has changed greatly, if it used to be the kind of jeweled luxury, then now it is low-key luxury, the former is impetuous and tacky, the latter is introverted and elegant.

A mountain and a stone, a pavilion and a pond, a grass and a tree here are all designed with ingenuity and ingenuity, which is pleasing to the eye, but the problem is also that it does not look like a place for monks to concentrate on cultivation, and it is more appropriate to say that it is a resort.

Because there is a lotus lake in Cining Garden, Princess Yongfu likes to read and recreation in the lake pavilion in the lotus lake on weekdays, so a miniature version of the lotus pond was dug in this house, and a culvert was dug with great effort to attract living water from the Taiye pool, which was very expensive.

Everyone swam all the way, and Concubine Shu couldn't help but quip: "Dare to love this dust-shelter is actually a place where the gods are, and even I want to move out of the palace to live." ”

At this time, Empress Wu also muttered secretly in her heart: "It's strange, Yongfu is a monk to practice, or is he out of the palace to enjoy?" ”

Jiajing said with a smile: "If the concubine is bored in the palace, it is good to go out of the palace occasionally to accompany Yongfu, and by the way, she can relax." ”

Empress Dowager Jiang glanced at Jiajing and reprimanded: "Nonsense, how can the harem concubines go out of the palace to live at will, what kind of system will they become." ”

Jiajing hurriedly and obediently confessed her mistake, and Concubine Shu also followed in a panic, Empress Wu glanced at Concubine Shu, and there was obviously a hint of schadenfreude between her eyebrows.

Seeing this, Xu Jin couldn't help but shake his head secretly, he thought that Empress Wu had grown up, but now it seems that he overestimated her, and it was clearly the yellow-haired girl who wrote her joy and anger on her face, the reason why she took the initiative to urge the emperor Nazhi'er to be a concubine must be that there is a master behind her, and this person is Zhang Xuan nine times out of ten.

At this time, the old eunuch Hu Dahai hurriedly said: "The emperor just said casually, why should the queen mother be angry and dare to ask the prince of Beijing, what is in front of you?" ”

Gonggong Hu pointed to the courtyard behind the lotus lake and asked, Xu Jin hurriedly cooperated: "That is the place where His Royal Highness Yongfu lives on weekdays." ”

Empress Dowager Jiang suddenly became interested: "You have to look at this carefully!" ”

Everyone walked along the willow path by the lake, around to the east of the lake, there is a section of white sand paved path, next to the standing stone, on the book: the favorite lake east is insufficient, the green poplar in the white sand embankment, can be described as full of style.

Walk the sand road, you will come to the door of the courtyard, but see a few red apricot trees higher than the garden wall, but unfortunately it is early winter, if it is spring, it is estimated that it is a beautiful scenery of "red apricot branches in spring".

The courtyard gate is the moon gate, the ground is paved with one-color terrazzo bricks, the light blue wall, the wall is covered with yellow glazed tiles, and the door is also left white, obviously it is also named, and the couplets on both sides are still empty.

Jiajing immediately smiled and said, "I came first, this place should be called Xingyuan." As for the left and right couplets, they quote ancient poems, the clothes are wet with apricot blossom rain, and the willow wind is not cold when the face is blown. It just echoes the two ancient poems on the willow-shaded sand road in front of them, which can be said to complement each other. ”

"Wonderful, the emperor is wise!" The eunuchs sent incense farts one after another.

Princess Yongchun didn't sell it, and pouted: "Brother Huang, you are too vulgar, there is no novelty, not good!" ”

Jiajing rolled her eyes when she was swallowed, and said angrily: "The little girl doesn't know the height of the sky, so if you come, don't look at the masters." ”

Yongchun rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "A woman is virtuous if she is not talented, this princess will not steal the limelight of the imperial brother, let's let the talented man come, the prince of Beijing, it's your turn, don't let the imperial brother go." ”

Jiajing said unconvinced: "Xu Qing, you are not allowed to hide it, I don't believe it, although I am not as good as you in poetry, but when it comes to names, I am an expert!" ”

Xu Jin couldn't help laughing, although Jiajing has been in power for seven years and has become more and more proficient in political skills, he is still in his early twenties after all, and he can't stand it!

Xu Jin originally planned to think of one casually and save some face for Zhu Houxi, but under the gaze of Princess Yongfu's pair of bright eyes, he couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, and said: "Since this house is named Dust Shelter, and this is where His Royal Highness Yongfu practices and lives, it is more appropriate to call it Ning Xiuge. How is it? ”

As soon as Xu Jin's words ended, he saw Jiajing looking at him with a smile, Huang Jin's look was strange, Mrs. Jiang was expressionless, Hu Dahai, the old eunuch, was not smiling, and then looked at Princess Yongfu, who seemed to be ashamed and angry, and Princess Yongchun next to her was squeezing her eyebrows, with a gloating expression.

Xu Jin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly sighed in his heart, it's bad, does Princess Yongfu's maiden name seem to be Zhu Xiuning? Ningxiu Pavilion, Xiuning Pavilion...... I'm rubbing, this is the name of the princess who committed it, and I thought of this name because of my brain?

Empress Wu naturally knew that Princess Yongfu's maiden name was Zhu Xiuning, but Xu Jin, a "wild" man, also knew that this was too abnormal, right?

"Bold, Xu Jin, you are guilty!" Empress Wu almost blurted out, no way, the city government does not allow it, there is a chance to justifiably trouble Xu Jin, and Empress Wu will naturally not let it go.

Fortunately, our prince of Beijing has never seen any storms, how can he be frightened by a yellow-haired girl who is less than twenty years old, and pretended to be confused: "Dare to ask the queen, what is the crime of the minister?" ”

Empress Wu sneered: "Xu Jin, Xiu has to pretend to be stupid again, Xiuning is Yongfu's maiden name, how did you know?" Forget it, you dare to show off in front of the queen mother and the emperor, and offend the name of Princess Yongfu. The Empress Dowager, Xu Jin blasphemed the royal princess, and he should be severely punished! ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but be secretly angry, he did know that Princess Yongfu's name was true, but that was also what Princess Yongfu told him personally, not to mention that he didn't mean to offend and blaspheme at all, Queen Wu, an idiot woman, was clearly a hard pot on her head, so she couldn't bear it!

Although he was angry in his heart, Xu Jin was still calm on the surface, and raised his eyebrows and said: "The queen mother is a crime that wants to be added, don't say that the minister doesn't know the name of His Royal Highness Yongfu at all, and the minister didn't say the word "Xiuning" just now, please ask the queen mother and the emperor to be clear, and return the minister to an innocent person, otherwise the minister will go to a book and prove his innocence in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military!" ”

Xu Jin said that he was completely indignant and lifted the hem of his robe and knelt directly on the ground.

Threat, this is the power of Chiguoguo!

Empress Wu's complexion changed greatly, her face turned a little pale, and she said authentically: "You...... You are strong words, clever tongues, the queen mother, you have to be the master of this palace! ”

There is no doubt that Empress Wu is afraid, she finally earned the reputation of a virtuous queen, if Xu Jin is engaged in the book, she will naturally not be happy, the key is that Xu Jin did just say "Ning Xiuge", but did not say "Xiu Ning Pavilion", so as long as he insists that he doesn't know Princess Yongfu's name at all, others will only think it is a coincidence, plus Xu Jin's unparalleled reputation in Shilin and the people, I believe that he will definitely be the majority.

When the time comes, he Empress Wu can't help Xu Jin, and if he doesn't get it right, it will make people think that he is taking the opportunity to retaliate against Xu Jin, so everyone will naturally think that Empress Wu took the initiative to urge the emperor to take He Zhi'er as a concubine before, but she was just fame.

Father-in-law Bi next to Queen Wu obviously also wanted to understand the powerful relationship, and couldn't help but sweat secretly, but at this time, he didn't dare to rashly help protect the master, after all, the queen mother and the emperor didn't speak, how could he speak out here?

At this time, Jiajing was embarrassed, on one side was his own Yuan Match main room, and on the other side was his most trusted brother, and coughed lightly: "This...... What a big deal, why make it known to everyone, Xu Qing, you get up first, and have something to say! ”

"Don't dare!" Xu Jin lowered his eyebrows, obviously made up his mind to teach Empress Wu a lesson, lest this idiot woman think that she was easy to bully, and Zhi'er would have to suffer from her when she entered the palace in the future.

Xu Jin couldn't stand kneeling, Jiajing was even more difficult, and his face was a little embarrassed.

Empress Dowager Jiang frowned and said: "Brother Jin, let's get up first, Xiaowan is the righteous daughter of the mourning family, carefully calculated, you are also half of the son-in-law of the mourning family, they are all a family, and there is a little conflict with each other, there is no need to make it known all over the city." ”

Empress Dowager Jiang spoke, and Xu Jin also accepted it when she saw it, stood up and said: "The Empress Dowager has taught her a lesson, and the minister is just angry for a while. ”

Empress Dowager Jiang's expression was slightly gloomy, and her eyes turned to Empress Wu and reproached: "The queen's frizzy temperament is going to change, apologize to King Beijing, and this matter will be revealed." ”

Empress Wu was embarrassed in her heart, but she was pinched by Xu Jin, so she had to lower her "noble" head, and saluted Xu Jinfu and said: "This palace is straightforward and fast-talking, and the prince of Beijing must not go to his heart." ”

Xu Jin turned sideways slightly, and arched his hand: "The minister was Meng Lang for a while just now, and I also asked the queen mother not to take it to heart." ”

The eyes of the two separated as soon as they touched, like staggered blades, since they had torn their faces, Xu Jin naturally didn't bother to act any longer.

Empress Dowager Jiang didn't seem to notice the smell of gunpowder between the two, and said with a smile: "Then this matter will be revealed, and no one is allowed to mention it in the future, let's go, let's go inside and take a look." ”

Empress Wu said: "Queen Mother, the child is a little tired from walking all the way, so he will rest outside for a while and then won't go in." ”

Empress Dowager Jiang nodded, Empress Wu and Xu Jin had just had a conflict, it was better to isolate each other so as not to embarrass each other, so she nodded and agreed.

Xu Jin looked calm, as if nothing had happened, took the lead into the moon gate, and when his eyes met Jiajing, he gave an apologetic look, and the latter shook his head generously, saying that he didn't take it to heart, after all, it was Queen Wu who took the initiative to provoke trouble first, and it was no wonder that Xu Jin fought back, and Jiajing also knew very well that this was Xu Jin's style of doing things.
