Dengtian Road

The Huaiyang Marquis' Mansion, which is also the new Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion, the main hall of Songhe Courtyard, the atmosphere is a bit frozen at the moment.

After hearing the report from the eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Cheng Enhou, Mrs. Zhong, the wife of the Hou's mansion, suddenly changed color, and her anger surged up. She could hardly maintain the cultivation of being an old lord after many years of pampering her. Leave."

"Mother..." Everyone else responded, only the Fifth Madam was different. She relied on being the youngest daughter-in-law of the Tai Madam and also the niece of the Tai Madam, and wanted to stay, but this time she bumped into an iron block.

"Huizhen, next time." Mrs. Zhong Tai patted Fifth Mrs. Zhong Huizhen's hand on her shoulder, signaling her to go down.

Seeing that there was no room for negotiation, the fifth lady had no choice but to leave the hall with a smile.She can live so comfortably in Huaiyang Hou's Mansion, and she can't do without Mrs. Tai, so naturally she can't offend her. Now that Mrs. Tai has clearly asked her to leave, if she doesn't wink and force her to stay, then she won't be able to live like a fish in water in the Hou's Mansion Well, even the head wife of the eldest sister-in-law Hou's mansion would not give her face easily.

The more this happened, the more curious the fifth lady became, and she made up her mind to ask the fifth master after he returned to the mansion.

When everyone retreated, Mrs. Zhong suppressed her anger and looked at the eldest daughter-in-law who was standing respectfully in the hall, her eyes moved slightly.

The two of them just bowed their heads slightly like this, seemingly subdued, but in essence they said nothing to say that the matter was almost settled, and it was okay to continue with the original plan, but if they wanted to achieve it through her hands, not only did they have no windows, they didn't even have doors, and the other sat On the couch, their eyes were scrutinizing and probing, neither of them spoke, as if they were more patient than the other.

In the end, it was Mrs. Zhong Tai who lost the battle. Without him, she is old and doesn't have so much energy to compete with her daughter-in-law. As the most senior person in the Hou family, she doesn't need to be like this. Apart from confrontation, she has more way to achieve the goal.

"Come on, did you say that you were opposed, or did you not even say it at all?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Cheng Enhou, who had always been calm and composed, shuddered.The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been fighting all their lives, and she knows best how difficult this one is, but she never thought that she is over sixty years old, and has been delegating power for some years, and she is still so shrewd when encountering troubles.

"It's the daughter-in-law who doesn't want it. The palace is a place to eat people. Yue'er has already fallen into it. There is no reason to pay Yaoer any more."

"Oh, is that so?" Mrs. Zhong Tai looked away, fiddled with the sandalwood beads in her hand casually, once and for all, calmly said, "Are you sure that girl Shi Yao is really happy that you plan for her like this?"

The eldest lady's heart went up and down, and she was extremely uncomfortable. When asked about her little daughter's wishes, the certainty in her heart disappeared a little bit.She would agree to enter the palace to persuade the empress, and half of them were based on this, but seeing that the eldest daughter was seeing that her death was approaching, she, as a mother, not only shared the burden for her, but also added fuel to the flames. I don't think that after seeing the eldest daughter, everything else is overwhelmed by the relationship between mother and daughter.

The youngest daughter Cheng Huan is at the knees, and Mrs. Cheng Enhou loves her, but she can't follow the elder daughter Qingyun straight up.Shi Yao is still young, there is more than one way out, if she doesn't enter the palace, there are many good destinations.

Huaiyang Marquis Mansion has a queen, which is already impressive enough. The Marquis has two marquises in one body. How many people in the Tianyuan Dynasty can win this honor?It seems that there really isn't one, except for the fact that the founding queen's identity is not obvious, the rest of the successive queens are all from the families of ministers, but they don't have the honor of real power, especially the honor of military generals.

The Marquis of Huaiyang was also a coincidence. Emperor Jianyuan ascended the throne at a young age, and the imperial power fell to the side. After finally reaching the age of being in charge, he naturally wanted to win over his courtiers. Hou Nahui was young, and his official position was neither high nor low. At a time when several parties were vying for who to be the empress, he stood out. It was a mistake. It would be difficult to think of such a good opportunity in the future.

In this case, adding another concubine would not bring much benefit.Take care of the third prince?Hehe, women know women best, and Mrs. Cheng Enhou, a mother, knows the temperament of her little daughter better. At least half of her heart is placed on Emperor Jianyuan.

Don't look at Shi Yao who is more than a round older than Shi Yao, but it is the time when she is the most vigorous, coupled with the royal Tianwei, it is fatal to the attractiveness of the cardamom girl.

That's all, an ordinary girl is raised in a deep boudoir, it's not so easy to see the present, even if Emperor Jianyuan is full of charm, the people affected are limited, Shi Yao is not among them.

Thinking of the cause and effect of the incident, Mrs. Cheng Enhou couldn't help feeling remorse. She should have been on guard if she knew it earlier. She shouldn't have brought her into the palace from time to time under the begging of her youngest daughter, but it was too late now. What she needed to do was to deal with the aftermath. Let the little daughter rest from this thought.

"Yao'er is still young and can afford it. No matter what, I have to wait until after the Empress Dowager arrives. If she rushes to send her to the palace in such a hurry, the Marquis of Huaiyang will lose face." After deliberation, Mrs. Cheng Enhou So said.

"You are a good mother!" Mrs. Zhong Tai waved her away after saying this, and she didn't know whether her words were compliments or irony.

For some reason, Mrs. Cheng Enhou had a bad premonition in her heart, but she couldn't think of any omissions for a while, so she suppressed it and went to deal with government affairs by herself.

The queen here does not know that Mrs. Cheng Enhou blocked a troublesome matter for her, and that Xuanzhen was fully prepared to leave Taixuanzong, and arrived at Xiaowangfu in Beimo within a day.

No one noticed Xuanzhen's arrival, even Ji Shiye didn't notice it. It wasn't until Xuanzhen revealed his consciousness and enveloped the main hall of Xiaowang Mansion that Ji Shiye seemed to have sensed it. He immediately stopped his movements and looked around, but the result was fruitless.

All of this was seen by Xuanzhen, seeing Ji Shiye's reaction to the detection of divine sense, leaving aside the inexplicable fate of the master, Xuanzhen really appreciated it.

Ji Xiaodaoyou's spiritual sense is sharp enough, not bad!It's just that sealing the spiritual power in the body is not a solution. Sooner or later, the spiritual power will dissipate.

Since Fellow Daoist Ji was pleasing to the eye, Xuanzhen decided that he might as well give him a hand, and leave some low-grade spirit stones for him after finishing the matter. As far as Fellow Daoist Ji's cultivation is concerned, save a little, enough to last until the coming In the new era, how far we can go will depend on our ability.

Seeing that Ji Shiye's eyes were getting more and more wary, Xuanzhen had bad thoughts, and after teasing him for a long time, he withdrew his consciousness, completely unaware of how abnormal his behavior was.

Xuanzhen tossed Ji Shiye for a long time, naturally it wasn't all teasing, and he got something.

Judging from the aura of Fellow Daoist Ji, he has good luck. He must be able to turn bad luck into good luck every time. This time, he encountered an era change that most monks would hardly encounter. In the period of death, it can be said that the future is bright, it depends on how the little guy chooses.

From that day on, Ji Shiye always felt that someone was peeping, but he couldn't find the source. After doing this several times, he didn't even have the mood to play. of boredom.

It would be great if he could still use his spiritual power, Ji Shiye sighed like this every time.

Except for the first day, Xuanzhen really didn't do it on purpose at other times. If he didn't lock his consciousness to Ji Shiye, how could he make a move at any time?Although the master is unreliable occasionally, he will not joke about this kind of thing. Since the master said that Fellow Daoist Ji is in trouble, then there must be. It's just that the time has not come yet, so he just waits patiently.

But it won't work anyway, Ji Shiye's spiritual sense is too sharp, which will hinder his normal life.

Xuanzhen thought for a while, decided to withdraw his consciousness, and left a ray of soul on Ji Shiye. Once the little guy was in danger, he would feel it. Anyway, he was not far from Ji Shiye, and saving people was only a matter of a moment. , such protective measures should be enough, he doesn't have voyeurism, so it's good for both parties.

Little did he know that Xuanzhen's approach was inappropriate, the primordial spirit is a unique thing for monks, the disappearance of the primordial spirit means that the soul will be scattered, and there will be no such person in the world, and all things such as looting, disbanding, and reincarnation will become empty talk.

However, Xuanzhen entrusted a ray of soul to Ji Shiye, who was still a stranger, which is not to say that it was not risky.

The feeling of being spied on came suddenly and disappeared without a trace. Except for a moment of fear, Ji Shiye did not suffer any substantial harm.He was not at a loss about this, it was just that someone was secretly spying on him through means he didn't understand, and it was probably done by a monk with a higher cultivation base than him.

No matter what the reason for being targeted, it means trouble, let alone a happy experience. Fortunately, Ji Shiye didn't feel the slightest malice, otherwise he would not be restless, but directly summon the guards of Xiaowang Mansion to guard against death. He still has the courage to die.

Just as Ji Shiye breathed a sigh of relief, he immediately felt awkward, as if there was something on his body that didn't annoy him, and even made him feel comfortable, but he couldn't be happy at all.

This kind of situation where people are swords and I are fish and meat is too passive. Maybe it's okay this time, but if it's another person who is full of malice towards him, wouldn't he become a lamb to be slaughtered?

Ji Shiye was a little bit crazy, his aura was gone, why did someone still focus on him, a little monk?

It's useless to be vigilant, Ji Shiye doesn't plan to sit in trouble, but prepares to save himself.

At this time, it was too late to win over the power of the palace, Ji Shiye directly summoned Wang Cong, and he wanted to see Han Qingzhu, the guard commander of Xiaowang Palace.

Wang Cong had too many doubts in his heart, but he couldn't ask Xiao Wang, so he had to suppress his mood and do it.He had planned to let the young prince practice martial arts before, and he also mentioned it to Commander Han. This time, Commander Han took the opportunity to see the qualifications of the young prince. If it is suitable, he can start to give the young prince a preliminary training.

Hearing that King Xiao wanted to see him by name, Han Qingzhu was a bit surprised to be honest.It had been more than four years since he came to Beimo with the still-infant King Xiao, and this was the first time he was summoned. It was really strange, but he didn't know why King Xiao wanted him.

"My lord, Commander Han has arrived."

"Lead him in."

"My subordinates pay homage to the prince."

Ji Shiye heard the reputation and looked around, only to see a typical general in his thirties approaching at the pace of a dragon and a tiger. He heard the sound before he arrived, and while walking, he saluted him as a military officer according to the rules. His temper was quite different from the civil servants he had the most contact with.

Ji Shiye didn't dare to underestimate him at all, the civil servant had many twists and turns, how could it be so simple for a military officer to sing against the civil servant?

"Excuse me." Due to his young age, Ji Shiye raised his head and stared at Commander Han in surprise.

This person is clean and introverted, with a burly figure but not bulky, his muscles are strong and slightly raised but not knotted, and he is full of explosive power, which makes people feel difficult to mess with.

Han Qingzhu didn't want to be treated like a monkey. Seeing that Ji Shiye hadn't spoken for a long time, he took the initiative to ask, "I don't know why the prince called his subordinates over?"

Ji Shiye withdrew his staring eyes and smiled innocently, but his words made people speechless: "Commander Han, I feel that someone is spying on the palace recently."

"Your Majesty's words are serious?" Commander Han had the urge to walk away immediately, but he had to go through the necessary procedures.

"really."

"How does the prince make such an inference?"

"The paintings that this king keeps in his inner study have been tampered with."

"Maybe some of the cleaning servants accidentally bumped into it."

"Commander Han means that someone in the mansion blatantly violated the rules set by this king?"

"..." Han Qingzhu felt like he was falling into a trap. He narrowed his eyes slightly, lowered his eyes, and glanced at the high chair sitting on the high chair, with his feet hanging in the air and unable to touch the ground, but he was at ease. .
