[Bao Qingtian] Why is peace?

It was almost Mid-Autumn Festival when Pang Yu returned to Bianjing.

The capital is still so lively, because the festive season is approaching, vendors from all over the country come to Beijing to sell some strange things, and there are even merchants from outside the customs who look slightly different from the people in the Central Plains. , There is even a majestic big tiger in a juggling troupe on the street!

Pang Yu saw so many things just passing by Zhuque Street in a hurry. There are probably more things in the square market than this.

I really want to go and see... Pang Yu stretched his neck and took another look at the big tiger. Finally, thinking that they still had tasks to do, he straightened his body, looked ahead, and led the horse towards the Yamen of Kaifeng Mansion.

Pang Fu, who was the first to receive the news, had been waiting at the gate of Kaifeng Mansion for a long time, and seeing his young master walking all the way, he took the initiative to lead his horse before he could speak, and said with a flattering smile: "Master, you have worked hard all the way! "

Pang Yu gave him a strange look: "Why are you here?"

Pang Fu laughed a little forcedly this time: "It's still Grand Master's ingenious calculation. It was determined early in the morning that the young master will go to Kaifeng Mansion first when he returns to Beijing, so he ordered the villain to wait here..."

Grand Master Pang's original words were: This stinky brat has long forgotten who his real father is!Hmph, look, he will definitely go to find Bao Heizi as soon as he comes back!

When Pang Yu thought of his father's bearded and staring look, he couldn't help but bend his eyebrows: "Go back and tell my father, you may go back later tonight, so you don't have to help me prepare the meal."

Just as Pang Fu was about to nod, his eyes suddenly caught sight of the young man in white beside Pang Yu. His small eyes rolled around and he whispered, "Master, I think you have to go home for dinner tonight."

"Huh?" Pang Yu frowned. Pang Fu's eccentric look is rare, and every time he appears, it's not a good time.

Pang Fu didn't dare to say more, he only whispered: "Master, you'll know when you go in, I'll be waiting for you at the door."

Pang Yu was at a loss, and Bai Yutang was also unhappy. Although Pang Fu spoke in a low voice, he had a strong inner strength. He couldn't hear this voice more clearly, and his impression of Pang Fu immediately became worse.

In the past, he always encouraged the little crab to do bad things, but now he separates himself from the little crab. It is better for Pang Fu not to appear in front of the little crab in the future.The same name is Ah Fu, if he is as clever as Bai Fu?

Thinking about these things, Bai Yutang and Pang Yu came to the flower hall without knowing it.

Zhan Zhao went ahead to deliver the letter written by Mr. Gongsun to Mr. Bao, and separated from them halfway after entering the yamen. He should be in Mr. Bao's study at this time.

Just as Pang Yu took a step forward, he realized that there was another person in the flower hall, and it was a girl, so he took another step back.

This retreat just happened to bump into the absent-minded Bai Yutang. With his lightness kung fu, he should have easily dodged it, but he was stomped on by Pang Yu: "Hmm... what's wrong?"

As soon as Bai Yutang finished speaking, the girl in the flower hall stood up in surprise and looked towards the door.

Pang Yu and Bai Yutang also happened to see her face.

The girl ran over happily: "Cousin!!"

This cousin made Pang Yu's teeth ache.

Bai Yutang froze in place, frowned a little uncertainly: "Mei Niang?"

"It's me!" The girl named Mei Niang blushed slightly, looked up at him, then lowered her head shyly, "I was going to see Master Bao today, but I didn't expect to see you here. They all said you were out of Beijing I went, I don’t know when I will come back, but I saw you as soon as I came to Kaifeng Mansion, you said, don’t we have a great destiny?”

Pang Yu: "..."

Bai Yutang coughed dryly and said, "Mei Niang, what are you doing in Kaifeng Mansion?"

"We haven't seen each other for so long, don't you think it's a disgrace to ask this right out of your mouth?" Meiniang pouted.

Bai Yutang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Okay, what's there to see in Kaifeng Mansion, you'd better tell the truth, did the Queen Mother ask you to come here?"

Mei Niang hummed again, then nodded reluctantly.

She is the adopted daughter of Empress Dowager Li. Back then, Empress Dowager Liu was a civet cat in exchange for the crown prince. Empress Dowager Li escaped by luck and was rescued by Mei Niang's parents.Mei Niang's parents left early, and Empress Dowager Li raised her as her own daughter. The two lived together for more than ten years, and the Empress Dowager couldn't see her. For so many years, Mei Niang almost raised them both by herself.

Later, the incognito Empress Dowager Li was accidentally discovered by the eunuch Guo Huai next to the Empress Dowager Liu. Guo Huai wanted to get rid of their mother and daughter, but happened to be rescued by Zhan Zhao. Zheng, Master Bao arranged for Empress Dowager Li to recognize His Majesty's mother and son.

But if you want to overturn the case and welcome Queen Mother Li into the palace, you must let Queen Mother Liu and Guo Huai admit their crimes.Many witnesses and material evidence of the events of that year have been destroyed, and it is even more difficult to reverse the case.

Fortunately, Guo Huai had never met Mei Niang, and didn't know that Mei Niang and Queen Mother Li's close maid Kou Zhu were born exactly the same, so Mrs. Bao made a plan to let Mei Niang pretend to be Kou Zhu, and tricked Guo Huai and Queen Mother Liu into telling the truth about the past. The truth, this turned the case for Empress Dowager Li.

When Empress Dowager Li returned to the palace, as her adopted daughter, Mei Niang's identity, who also had the merit of overturning the case, naturally increased.She is now canonized as Princess Liuyu, more favored than Queen Mother Liu's own Princess Huanyu.

In order to help Empress Dowager Li reverse the case, Mei Niang also hid in Kaifeng Mansion for a while, so she has some friendship with Master Bao. Since she will appear here now, I am afraid that it is inconvenient for the Empress Dowager to come forward because of something. over here.

Mei Niang looked Bai Yutang up and down and said: "Staying in the palace all the time, I'm going to get bored. Cousin, if you want to know what the queen mother sent me here for, just promise to take me around the capital, why not?" Sample?"

Bai Yutang smiled faintly: "It must not be a trivial matter for the Queen Mother to let you out of the palace. I will know after a little inquiry at the time. Do you need to talk about it?"

"You!" Mei Niang stomped her feet angrily, "You are really... hmph, you don't love me like you did when you were a child."

Bai Yutang looked at her: "Then you say it or not?"

Mei Niang looked left and right, but she still didn't want to say it out loud.

Pang Yu was left on the sidelines for a long time, and finally broke the atmosphere of these two people as if no one else could get in with his expressionless face.

"Well, you guys talk, I'll go back first..." After finishing speaking, she wanted to go out.

"Wait!" Bai Yutang pulled him from behind, seeing that he was being dragged by him and wanted to move forward, Bai Yutang couldn't laugh or cry, so he simply took two quick steps and walked around in front of him. "What's your temper?"

"I lost my temper?" Pang Yu's eyes widened, "Isn't my tone just now quite normal?"

Bai Yutang stretched out his hand and pinched his cheek, and said amusedly: "The cheeks are all swollen into balls, and you still say you're not angry?"

Pang Yu sneered: "I don't want to disturb you two."

"I knew it..." Bai Yutang sighed, "Mei Niang and I are not what you think, she has no feelings for me, as for who I like...does it need to be said?"

Pang Yu snorted, "That's hard to say." Cousin and cousin are a natural match, and if you don't think so, it doesn't mean that others don't think so either.

Bai Yutang pulled him into his arms and said in a low voice: "I'll tell you a secret, don't tell anyone else."

Pang Yu moved his ears, but responded angrily.

Bai Yutang laughed softly, "The person Mei Niang likes is Zhan Zhao."

Pang Yu: "...!!"

"Now you understand why I'm not worried at all, right?" Bai Yutang blinked at him, "Whoever I like in my heart, I will only pick one person and draw a clear line with everyone else. Mei Niang is a girl after all, If she doesn't want to belong, I'm still worried that you are so good-looking, she will fall in love with you!"

Pang Yu didn't know what to say. He turned his head and saw Mei Niang standing at the door and winking at them, with a relaxed and teasing expression, as if she really felt like a brother and sister to Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang scratched his nose and said, "Little vinegar jar."

Pang Yu counterattacked unceremoniously: "Big vinegar jar, do you have less jealousy than me?"

"Then we just make a set of jealous jars." Bai Yutang smiled and his eyes sparkled, "I just found out today that the little crab will be jealous because of me—I'm so happy."

"What's so exciting about this!" Pang Yu glared at him again, but this time he was not so confident, and changed the topic with a blushing face, "Hey, tell me, does Guard Zhan like Mei Niang?"

"I don't know." Bai Yutang shook his head honestly, "I think Zhan Zhao treats her like he treats his own sister. He has no idea. I'm afraid Mei Niang is just a girl with unrequited love in Huaichun."

Pang Yu felt a little sympathetic to Mei Niang, because as far as he saw, there seemed to be quite a few girls in the capital who liked to show up as guards.

Bai Yutang patted his forehead again, dissatisfied: "You're always thinking about what Zhan Zhao is doing, you're a serious man here!"
