[Seven Five + Sword Three] White jade dyed bright yellow

Due to the availability of manpower and material resources, the expansion of Hidden Sword Villa went very smoothly. In about three months, that is, at the end of November, the outline was basically revealed.

Ye Shulan looked at the re-carved stone tablet of the Tibetan Sword Villa, and felt very happy, but at this moment, Bai Yutang sent the servants of Ye's family to inform that there was a letter from the capital.At first I thought it was Zhao Zhen who missed his daughter, and thought about bringing her back to him when he went to Beijing during the Chinese New Year, but I didn’t expect to go back and see that it was a wedding post from Zhan Zhao—it turned out that Zhan Zhao returned after the Mid-Autumn Festival In the capital, the wedding date with Ding Yuehua has already been set, and the Ding family will leave in the next few days to send Ding Yuehua to Beijing to get married.

Ye Shulan went to Bai Yutang with the wedding invitation. After discussing it, the two decided to take the two princesses to Beijing and come back after celebrating the New Year there.

At first, the two little princesses were reluctant to leave the master and brother they just met, but Ye Shulan said that firstly, their father missed them very much in the palace, secondly, they would come back after the new year, and thirdly, they would come back to Beijing to find some good materials. After giving them two swords, the two little princesses happily went back to the house to pack their things.

Ye Shulan still wanted to take Ye Zhengming around the capital, but before Ye Yang could express his opinion, Xiao Zhengming himself refused - he had already understood the hidden sword mentality a little bit, and was further mastering it, so he didn't want to waste time and distract energy.Ye Shulan was naturally happy that the child was self-motivated, so she patted him on the head and bid farewell to the Ye family father and son.

Bai Yutang and Ye Shulan were preparing on the side of Hangzhou, and there was also news from the other side of the sky island - the relationship between the sky island and the Ding family was good, so naturally they also received invitations, this is to ask Bai Yutang to return to the sky island , and then went there with the Ding family.

However, after Bai Yutang explained the situation where he planned to take the princess with him, Ding Zhaolan said that they should come to Hangzhou to meet up first, and then go directly to Beijing by water from Hangzhou.

It took three big boats and four small boats to load the empty island, Dingjiazhuang, and the guards responsible for protecting the princess, as well as Ding Yuehua's dowry and Ye Shulan's gift for Zhao Zhen with the two little princesses.

A group of people entered Beijing in mighty force.

Except for the seasickness incident that recurred again, the journey was basically smooth.

When they got off the boat, the seventh and eighth princesses looked at Ye Shulan with worry in their eyes: "Sister Ye Zi, are you really okay? And Brother Bai."

Being cared by two little girls, Bai Yutang was not used to it, resisted the feeling of rolling in his stomach, and shook his head pretending to be indifferent: "I'm fine."

Ding Yuehua also came over to support Ye Shulan: "Then Ye Zi doesn't have to enter the palace today, right? Go back to the mansion to rest first."

Everyone looked at Ye Shulan's and Bai Yutang's pale faces, and nodded one after another - if they were going directly to the palace, they might scare the emperor.

So after resting in the White Mansion for one night, Ye Shulan entered the palace with Bai Yutang the next day.

Watching the two figures, one yellow and one white, slowly disappear into the verdant vegetation of the mansion, Xu Qing suddenly tilted his head in doubt—it meant that Shu Lan was the adopted daughter recognized by the emperor, and there was nothing wrong with entering the palace, and his fifth younger brother followed her. What's the point of going together?

I didn't expect to see Zhan Zhao, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, at the gate of the palace, followed by Mr. Bao and Mr. Gongsun, followed by the other four guards of Kaifeng Mansion.

Mr. Bao and Mr. Gongsun are still the same, and Zhan Zhao is still wearing a red official uniform, but I don’t know if it’s because the wedding is approaching, that look of being proud... Fifth Master glanced down at Ye Shulan who was walking beside him. Zhao's expression is very annoying.

When Bao Zheng and Gongsun saw Ye Shulan, they immediately saluted with smiles: "See Princess Wu."

Seeing them, Ye Shulan immediately remembered the animal mooncakes that Zhao Zhen had given her, so she raised her hand and greeted them with a smile, "Master Bao, Mr. Gongsun, Meow, long time no see..."

Zhan Zhao has no choice but to give him a nickname, this is definitely the rhythm of bullying honest people.

Bai Yutang also saluted everyone honestly: "Master Bao, Mr. Gongsun, Brother Zhan."

Ye Shulan signaled everyone to move on, while tilting her head to look at Zhan Zhao: "By the way, Miao Miao, are you fat?"

Hearing the name Miaomiao, Zhan Zhao was helpless. When he heard the other party say that he was fat, his entire expression almost froze, and he touched his face unconsciously—the seafood in Dingjiazhuang was not enough. It's delicious, he really eats a lot... Could it be, is he really fat?

Seeing Zhan Zhao's expression, Bai Yutang's mood improved a lot. By the way, he looked Zhan Zhao up and down, stood decisively on Ye Shulan's side, and nodded: "It's really fat. Speaking of which, can your Swallow Fly fly now? Don't fall so heavy that you become a dead swallow, no, it's a dead cat."

...Maybe I really want to lose weight.Zhan Zhao made a decision in his heart in embarrassment, and said with a smile, "Fifth brother was joking."

"Who is your brother..." Bai Yutang muttered in a low voice, the expression on his face was obviously not worried.

Ye Shulan smiled and said, "Tangtang is having trouble again."

Zhan Zhaowangtian——What's wrong with this white mouse.

At the end, Zhao Hu asked Ma Han beside him in a surprised voice, "Hey, is Guard Zhan really fat? Why didn't I see it? Didn't Mrs. Bao say that Guard Zhan has a physique that won't make him fat?"

Ma Han looked at Mr. Bao who was walking ahead and stroking his beard but said nothing, and Mr. Gongsun who was smiling and seemed to be planning something, and also made a fuss: "Princess said she was fat, and fifth master also said that she was fat. The Zhan guard is naturally fat."

"Ah?" Zhao Hu was even more confused.

While walking, Bai Yutang was a little strange: "The emperor called Mr. Bao into the palace, is there something?"

——It is reasonable to say that the emperor knows that Shu Lan is entering the palace, so he should not call Mr. Bao into the palace again because of trivial matters, right?

Zhan Zhao put down the issue of weight loss for the time being, and it was a bit inexplicable: "I don't know much about it...but the emperor often invites adults into the palace, so it must be some big deal."

Hearing their conversation, Bao Zheng turned his head and said with a smile: "Do you remember the assassin you met last time?"

"Is there any news about those assassins?" Ye Shulan blinked, "Didn't you say it belongs to the prince..."

"Probably there is some news." Bao Zheng said slowly, twirling his beard.

What happened last time was left alone, although Ye Shulan didn't take it too seriously, but now that she has the opportunity to figure it out, she will naturally not give up.

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly - the emperor knew who it was last time, and made it clear that he didn't want to investigate, so why this time...?

This time Zhao Zhen summoned a few people in the imperial study.Stepping into the room and saluting Zhao Zhen, after the other party shouted, Ye Shulan was first attracted by the old man sitting beside the case, and bumped Zhan Zhao with his arm—then who?

Zhan Zhao smiled helplessly, and raised his chin to signal her to look at Master Bao.As soon as he turned his head, he saw that Bao Zheng's already majestic face became even more rigid. He snorted unceremoniously, and cupped his hands in a perfunctory way: "It turns out that the father-in-law is also here. I'm sorry for being rude."

The old man gave Bao Zheng a hard look, then turned his head heavily—too lazy to talk to you.

Oh, there is an inside story.Ye Shulan touched her chin, looked back and forth curiously, and then looked at Zhan Zhao—what's going on?

Before Zhan Zhao could express his opinion, Bai Yutang pressed her head, turned her head around, and blinked - I'll tell you when I get back.

Ye Shulan nodded and settled down.

Only then did Zhao Zhen come out with a smile to smooth things over: "Bao Qing, actually this time it's thanks to Grand Master Pang for providing clues."

Speaking of business, Bao Zheng's expression was a little calm, and he cupped his hands and said, "I don't know if the emperor has any clues this time?"

Zhao Zhen turned to look at Ye Shulan: "Lan'er, you have just returned to the palace, so go see your grandma and queen first. Don't rush away, and have lunch in the palace later."

Although Ye Shulan could tell that she was being asked to avoid it, but she was not an ignorant person, so she bent down and bowed before she was about to back down.

Bai Yutang originally came with Ye Shulan, and was ready to leave when he saw this.

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Young Master Bai might as well stay and listen."

Bai Yutang glanced at Zhao Zhen hesitantly, and then at Ye Shulan—do you want to listen?

Ye Shulan was also a little puzzled, but she still nodded.

Bai Yutang immediately stood still, Ye Shulan slowly backed away, but she was wondering what Zhao Zhen meant by this - if he told her to leave because he didn't want her to listen, then he must have told her after staying with Tangtang, Then she has nothing to hide.

But Ye Shulan didn't think too much about it, after she went out, some palace servants took her to the empress dowager's bedroom.

Because she saved Zhao Zhen's life, the queen mother had a very good impression of Ye Shulan. She held her hand and whispered, and at the same time remembered to ask the little girl in red.

Ye Shulan smiled and said that Ding Yuehua was going to marry soon, and the queen mother was even happier, and said with a smile that she must add a dowry.

But after all, the queen mother is getting old, and she has suffered a lot before, and her health is not very good. After talking about it for a long time, she got tired. Ye Shulan smiled and gave a few words, and then withdrew.

After leaving the palace gate of the Empress Dowager's bedroom, she was lured to the Queen's bedroom by the palace servants—only then did she know that Concubine Pang Guifei had been made a queen during the time she left, so the "Master of the State" she saw in the imperial study just now was about He is the queen's father.

Several princesses were also there, and when they saw Ye Shulan, they immediately surrounded her happily, especially the fifth princess, who hadn't seen Ye Shulan for a long time, and hugged her tightly as if she was alone.

Ye Shulan was actually quite puzzled as to why only the seven or eight princesses went to Hangzhou, but following Queen Pang's words, she answered her questions: "Xiao Wu, you are about to get married, and you are still making trouble like this."

It turned out to be getting married.Ye Shulan understood.

The fifth princess had no choice but to let go of Ye Shulan unwillingly, and just watched eagerly.

Ye Shulan had no choice but to persuade her with a smile: "Xiao Wugui is the princess of Song Dynasty, so what if she acts recklessly with the dignity of a princess? Shulan thinks that the empress really doesn't need to be so strict."

Concubine Pang just sighed when she heard the words——Although the princess of Song Dynasty is honorable, she is just before she leaves the court, and after she gets married, she is just an ordinary woman, how dare they bring this flamboyant temperament to her husband's house.However, the unmarried girl in front of these things obviously didn't understand, and Empress Pang didn't want to talk to her about these things, and she might not encounter any troubles at all, so she forced a smile on her face: "Princess Wu said yes. Xiao Wu Xiao Qi Xiaoba, since my sister is here, you can go out and play with her for a while."

Upon hearing what Empress Pang meant, the fifth princess immediately cheered up, dragged her younger sisters, and dragged Ye Shulan to the yard together—although there was no chance to go to the Tibetan Sword Villa in Hangzhou to learn from her teacher, at least she had to learn from Elder Sister Ye Zi. Two strokes.The queen said that when she gets married, her father will not be able to protect her, so she will protect herself, hum!

I practiced the basic skills with the three little princesses in the morning, had a meal with the royal family at noon, and went to Zhao Zhen’s warehouse in the afternoon to pick and choose a bunch. It was useless for Zhao Zhen, but for her. Said it was difficult to collect a large amount of refined iron in a short time, and finally followed Bai Yutang back to the White Mansion happily.

Silently calculating how many weapons those iron materials could give the three little guys, Ye Shulan finally remembered what Zhao Zhen summoned this afternoon, and asked Bai Yutang with a tilted head: "By the way, what did the emperor say after I left?"

"Do you still remember that prince? It should be the King of Xiangyang. Today Grand Master Pang said that he sent someone to deliver a letter asking him to cooperate with the rebellion."

"Prince Xiangyang?"

"It seems to be the emperor's uncle." Bai Yutang said indifferently, "The relationship between the Zhao family is messed up..."

Upon hearing the rebellion, Ye Shulan's face sank, she gritted her teeth and said, "Rebellion?!"

It was only then that Bai Yutang remembered that the Anshi Rebellion had always been the most uncomfortable thorn in the other party's heart, and hurriedly added: "Don't worry, this will definitely not be reversed. He is now in a fiefdom, and although he is quite rich, the imperial guards in the fiefdom still control him." In the hands of the imperial court. I don’t know where he got the courage to send this letter to Grand Master Pang!”

Although Bai Yutang vowed that the other party would definitely not retaliate, Ye Shulan was still so angry that she clenched the epee behind her back, gritted her teeth and said, "What a Xiangyang king! It's best not to fall into the hands of the young lady, or else a crane will return." Let him go down to meet his ancestors!"

"Okay, okay." Bai Yutang cooperated: "Even if the emperor wants to kidnap him and return him to Beijing for punishment, I'll help you catch him. I'll let you be beaten to death first!"

Amused by Bai Yutang's cooperative attitude, Ye Shulan's anger subsided a little, and she remembered one more thing: "By the way, that Grand Master Pang is Madam Pang's father, right? Madam Pang is very nice, why is his father so ignorant?" See Master Bao?"

"From the point of view that the emperor will confer the title of Empress Pang, it should be pretty good. However, Taishi Pang is not a good person, and his only son, An Lehou, is not a thing!" After saying it again, he finally spread his hands and said, "In the end, this person fell into Master Bao's hands."

That would be dead.Ye Shulan shrunk her shoulders, seeing Mr. Bao's legs were a little weak when he had never done anything bad, let alone such a crime.If she were Grand Master Pang, Bao Zheng would have resented her only son for being murdered.But then again, if she had such a son, she would have killed him with the epee long ago.

"So the bait for King Xiangyang's alliance with Taishi Pang this time is that he was the first to kill Bao Zheng after he became emperor."

"Tsk." Ye Shulan shook her head, the revenge of killing her son was still only Miaomiao, she would not be surprised even if Grand Master Pang agreed to cooperate.

"However, Pang Niangniang was suddenly made a queen, so of course Grand Master Pang would not cooperate with him."

Ye Shulan nodded - that's right.Now that he is the head of the country, if his daughter-in-law gives birth to a prince, it is very likely that he will be the next emperor, and the Pang family can be regarded as having a descendant, so why bother to cooperate with someone who is not likely to succeed, the King of Xiangyang.

"Actually, the emperor asked you to leave just now because he was afraid that you would attract gossip. After all, it's not convenient for girls to listen to this kind of political affairs. If I stay here, I will listen to it and then relay it to you. In the future, if the power of King Xiangyang comes The scope also needs to be counted.”

"...why girls can't listen to political affairs." Zhao Zhen thought about her, she accepted this love, but looked down on girls, Ye Shulan was a little unhappy, and her cheeks puffed up: "There was a queen in the Tang Dynasty Why does Song look down on women."

Bai Yutang spread his hands: "For this kind of thing, you should argue with the corrupt scholars in the court. The fifth master is reckless, but he has never looked down on anyone."

Ye Shulan glanced in the direction of the palace, and secretly made up her mind that she must teach the seventh princess and the eighth princess well, and it would be nice to let these two orthodox princesses slap those scholars in the face!
