When I left the Jin Palace, it was already dark and snowing, this was the first snow this winter, and the white snow flakes fell silently, as if mourning the old princess who had just died.

The guards raised a big umbrella for the three adults, Zhang Fantai stretched out his hand, picked up a snowflake like a goose feather, and sighed: "The old princess is benevolent, God is sad." ”

"Good people are not rewarded," Zhou Dutai also sighed: "This Taiyuan City was built by the old princess's father, sheltering hundreds of thousands of people...... It's not good to get back in the news.

Wang Xian vaguely remembered that the old princess's father was involved in the big case concocted by Taizu and was given to death, and now she died so unexplained and tortured, God is really ruthless and heartless

The three of them walked out of Donghua Gate in silence, and Wang Xianwan refused the invitation of the two officials and returned to Qinchaxingyuan.

Back in the mansion, the lights were still bright, but Wang Xian saw that the original luxurious furnishings and those charming maids were gone, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly, this time it was too different from Lao Tzu's style

was stunned, and a timid voice sounded, "The slave waits for the adult to change his clothes." ”

Wang Xian looked sideways and saw that it was the maid Yan'er from last night, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, but said lightly: "Are you still there?" ”

"Steward Zhou said that there must be someone to wait for the adults." Yan'er said weakly: "If the adults don't like it, the slave will go back to Steward Zhou tomorrow." ”

"Forget it, so be it." Wang Xian shook his head slightly.

"Yes" The pretty maid responded crisply, pressed her joy, hurriedly stepped forward to untie the corner belt of Tsing Yi for him, knelt at his feet, took off the official boots soaked in snow for him, and put his cold feet into her arms to warm them, and then changed into a pair of warm loafers.

Wang Xian was enjoying the considerate service of the pretty maid, when he suddenly heard the intermittent crying outside, and couldn't help frowning: "Who is outside?" ”

"My lord, it's me," Erhei's voice sounded outside, and he paused and said, "And the dragon girl." ”

"Why did you make the dragon girl angry?" Wang Xian walked to the door with his hands in his hands, and the guards opened the door.

"How dare I mess with her? Oh no, how could I mess with her. Erhei frowned and said, "It was she who heard that the old princess had died, so she cried endlessly." ”

Wang Xian looked at the dragon girl who had changed into plain clothes and cried into tears, in fact, he didn't want to use her at all, but he felt that Erhei rarely had a girl he liked, so he kidnapped him to be his daughter-in-law. Only then did I remember that she grew up in the palace.

"Sister's Day mourning," Wang Xian sighed lightly, "The deceased is gone, and I definitely don't want to see you so sad." Saying that, he gave Erhei a look, and didn't help the dragon girl in

Erhei nodded hurriedly, reached out and carefully held Miss Long's arm before inviting her into the hall.

Wang Xian asked her to serve hot soup, and when she calmed down, she said slowly: "I'm going to hang my filial piety today."

"My lord, do you know what kind of disease my mother has?" Miss Long is the daughter of a scholar, and she also has a large number - a single name Yao, Long Yao. Sure enough, he was attracted by this sentence.

"The inside story is complicated, and it is not appropriate to draw conclusions until the investigation is clear." Wang Xian shook his head and said, "But I can tell you that the old princess died a very strange death." ”

"Hello ......" Long Yao said with tears like rain: "The old prince and Niangniang are a pair of living bodhisattvas, why is there no good reward?"

"Things in this world, after all, are watched by the sky and people are doing." Wang Xian sighed and said, "How much do you know about palace affairs?" ”

"I grew up in the palace since I was a child, and my mother treated me as her own, and she also said that she would ...... me" Long Yao said with a blushing face, and stopped talking: "In short, I still know very well about the things in the palace, otherwise I wouldn't have asked for help." ”

"Hmm." Wang Xian nodded and said, "I saw the King of Jin and the King of Guangchang today." ”

Hearing this, Long Yao's delicate body was shocked, and she said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness the Seventh, is he okay?" ”

Hearing her words, Erhei was also shocked, this is simply a tragedy...... This is the reason why Miss Long has to go back to Shanxi

Wang Xian was also quite surprised, he only planned to inquire about some information, but who knew that he had taken out Miss Long's old lover. Giving Erhei and Shao'an impatient looks, Wang Xian said, "He, it's not very good." ”

"What's wrong?" Long Yao asked by biting her lips.

Wang Xian told her the scene he saw today, and Long Yao said with a pale face when he heard this: "He is such a person, he has been spoiled since he was a child, and he doesn't know what forbearance is." ”

As soon as he said this, Wang Xian also glanced at her, and asked softly, "What is his relationship with King Jin?"

"Nature is not good." Long Yao said softly: "The old prince has given birth to a total of seven sons, two of whom have passed away, and the remaining five highnesses, two sons-in-law, and three concubines, have always been distinct. After a pause, he said: "When His Royal Highness was the king of Jin, the two sides were still able to live together, but now His Royal Highness has been abolished and banned, and His Royal Highness has become a lonely man, and the four elder brothers have not eaten him alive."

"What kind of person is His Royal Highness the current King of Jin?" Although he had heard several evaluations and seen them with his own eyes, he still wanted to hear what Zhu Jiyan's acquaintances said, "You must tell the truth, otherwise it will affect the judgment of the official." ”

"Yes." Long Yao responded, his eyes were a little confused, and said, "Actually, what kind of person the Third Highness is, I don't know very well. The original impression of him was very good, he was modest and studious, polite, and filial to his parents and brothers, and even sometimes felt that he was more like a brother than His Royal Highness. ”

"Hmm." Wang Xian nodded, he also felt this way, so he listened to her continue: "But then I heard my father say that he is a very insidious person, and everything in His Highness will be abolished, all because he has bought all the people around His Highness, and everyone is saying bad things about His Highness, and several of his younger brothers keep writing to the emperor to expose His Highness, saying that His Highness sympathizes with Jianwenjun and often says some rebellious things... My lord, do you think, after such a long time, can the emperor not hate His Highness? And then he was deposed. As he spoke, his voice became quieter and quieter: "I also heard rumors from the palace people that he likes a side concubine of the old Jin King called Jixiang, I don't know if the road is true or false......"

"You've heard all this?" Wang Xian shook his head and said, "I need real evidence, not hearsay." ”

"I heard most of what my father said, but my father didn't have any evidence." Long Yao shook his head lightly and said: "Actually, the reputation of the Third Highness in Shanxi is very good, and most people still don't believe it, it is His Highness who harmed him."

"Hmm." Wang Xian nodded and said, "What about the relationship between King Jin and the concubine?" ”

"The concubine is the mother of King Jin, and the concubine is greater than the biological mother, so he naturally didn't say anything about the concubine." Long Yao said: "When I was in the palace, he greeted the concubine every morning and dusk, and served the concubine, which was more thoughtful than his sister-in-law. ”

"What about his birth mother?" Wang Xian asked again.

"The biological mother, Ji, has passed away." Long Yao sighed and said: "Speaking of which, she is also a hard-working person, her two sons were held to the concubine Niangniang in their lifetime, and they didn't call her a mother until they died." ”

"How did you die?"

"Died of illness, a few years after the old prince died, she also went." Long Yao said softly.

"Oh." Wang Xian nodded, asked a few more questions, and saw that Long Yao was a little in good spirits, so he asked Erhei to send her back to rest first.

At this time, Zhou Yong brought a few bowls of knife-cut noodles, unlike the south, which mainly eats rice, Shanxi people mainly eat all kinds of noodles, and the attainments on the opposite side are also incomparable to other places. Authentic Shanxi knife-cut noodles, with a knife cut out of the noodles, thick and thin edges. The edges are distinct, the shape is like a willow leaf, the entrance is slippery outside and the inner tendon is soft, but not sticky, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it is. Wang Xian snorted and ate two sea bowls, took the white towel to wipe his mouth, and sighed comfortably: "Who said that food must be delicious?" I don't think it's comparable to a bowl of knife-cut noodles. ”

Zhou Yong and Erhei, who went and returned, also snorted and ate, and the two shook their heads when they heard the words: "That's because adults are tired of eating delicacies from the mountains and seas." ”

"Huh." Wang Xian held the bowl, drank a few sips of noodle soup, and asked with a smile, "How do you feel today?" ”

"I feel so sad." Two underworlds.

"I can't get used to your bear-like appearance" Wang Xianbai glanced at him and said: "The big husband must never give up, and everyone Xiaoqian has to compete with the grandson, and you have no confidence when you compete with a county king?" ”

"I have confidence, but when I think that the person in Yao'er's heart is not me, I feel uncomfortable." Erhei said in a muffled voice

Zhou Yong snorted, the noodles squirted out of his nostrils, and he laughed funny: "Yao'er......"

"Okay, okay," Wang Xian scolded with a smile: "Don't laugh at him, let's get down to business, what do you think of what happened from yesterday to today?" ”

"My lord, I don't think it's easy." Erhei hurriedly took over the words and said with a serious face.

"Hmm." Wang Xian nodded, he wanted to listen to his high opinion, but Er Hei had to reluctantly embarrass him: "Judging from the attitude of the Shanxi government towards adults along the way, it is quite a stutter. But yesterday they should have known that the old princess was dead, why did she still make such a big show, and she didn't look good. ”

"Why aren't you kind?" Erhei is thick and fine, and his scheming is quite heavy, Zhou Yong is relatively simple, and asked strangely: "Isn't it just a meal?" ”

"You have to think about their hospitality to adults last night, more than a dozen big beauties, you really haven't touched any of them, adults?" Erhei said in disbelief: "When did you become so disciplined?" ”

", I've been full of discipline, okay." Wang Xianbai glanced at him and said: "You and I want to go together, and I also feel that they are pulling me into the water, so that I can't compare with them." He remembered that when Wen Yanbo of the Song Dynasty was the governor of Sichuan, someone reported that his life style was not good, and the imperial court sent the imperial history to check on him, when the imperial history was about to arrive in Sichuan, he met a beautiful prostitute at the post station, and the two quickly sparked, and they were reluctant to part until Chengdu, this person has a decent style, and the impeachment is purely a false accusation

This method has been common for thousands of years, but it has been tried and tested repeatedly, because men cannot resist the temptation of wine and wealth.
