New·New Consort

Perhaps because she ate a lot of mutton for lunch, perhaps because she drank a few hours of strong wine to her heart's content, and perhaps because of the ignorance in the conversation with Tianxiang, Feng Suzhen only felt that her face and heart were hot everywhere.After leaving the small courtyard, she got on her horse, raised her whip, and headed straight to Huailaiwei's camp.

Feng Suzhen was usually calm, it was the first time that she rode the horse so fast, she just felt that the north wind was blowing towards her face, gradually blowing away the heat on her face, instead it turned cold.She suddenly woke up a little bit, and a bit of bewilderment appeared in her heart like a wave of water.The corners of the lips that were raised just now because of the intimate chat with Tianxiang gradually fell, and finally let out a long sigh.

For more than half a month, she has lived in her arms and defended herself. Firstly, she was really busy, and secondly, she came to hide from the fragrance of heaven.

Because Zhang Shaomin was not in the city, for the sake of the crown prince's safety, Li Zhaoting and his wife moved into Huailai small courtyard, and she had to sleep with Tianxiang every day.The bed was inherently narrow, and for some reason after the weather got cold, the two of them moved closer together as they fell asleep.

At first, Feng Suzhen only lived in Huailaiwei every now and then, but later, she simply moved into Huailaiwei.

Strange people say that husband and wife are of the same body, so they lie down together, although they know that they should put up all kinds of defenses in their hearts, but after getting along like this, the defense line between the two of them gradually melted like sunlight.

Reining in the precipice, you must rein in the precipice, if you continue to get close like this, you are fine, if Tianxiang has any thoughts, it will not be easy to solve.

Feng Suzhen was full of worries, and inadvertently, a thought came to her mind——

It would be great if I was really Feng Shaomin.

Running all the way, in an instant, they arrived at the gate of the Huailaiwei Army Camp. Feng Suzhen had just reined in when she fixed her eyes on a familiar figure.

As soon as Shan Shiwu sent Dongfang Sheng out, who had been lingering for most of the day, he saw the son-in-law coming back, and his back tensed for a moment.

Dongfang Sheng raised his head and saw that it was her, and said frivolously, "My son-in-law is very skilled, why don't we abandon literature and pursue martial arts, and go to battle to kill the enemy and serve the country."

Feng Suzhen got off the horse, cupped her hands and said with a faint smile: "The governor is joking, what I know is nothing more than flamboyance, how dare I compare with young heroes like the Eastern governor."

Dongfang Sheng laughed loudly: "That's right, that's right, hahahaha."

After sending Dongfang Sheng away, Feng Suzhen followed Shan Shiwu into the guard, but seeing his face relaxed, she couldn't help asking: "The governor of Dongfang came here, but what good news did he bring?"

Shan Shiwu said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the governor of the East used to be in the main town of Liaodong. Although he did all the work of charging and fighting, he knew quite a lot about military affairs. He knew that Xuan Dahuai was all about military supplies at the moment. Hurry up, and say that I will send a letter to Liaodong to send some clothes to keep out the cold."

"It's so good!" Feng Suzhen's understanding of Dongfang Sheng was limited to the marriage case, but she didn't expect that he was a real military officer, and he was capable of general affairs in addition to leading the charge.

Shan Shiwu said again: "Besides, I would like to invite my son-in-law to come with me on business."

Feng Suzhen raised her eyebrows, "Oh?"

Shan Shiwu thought about his words before he said: "Before I wrote a book and asked Gu Shuai for some food and grass, and a batch has already been shipped to Zhulu County in the west. But the county magistrate of Zhulu was a little bit reluctant, and he just delayed with many excuses. Don’t let it come over. Although there is not much food and grass, I am a little annoyed and want to beat and beat, and ask my son-in-law to support me.”

Feng Suzhen immediately understood that since the previous dynasty, he has been using literature to control military affairs. Although Shan Shiwu's rank is higher than that of the county magistrate, he still needs to guard against the participation of the imperial historian, so he needs to bear witness by himself.

She thought for a while and said, "There's nothing wrong with it. It's just that Dongfang Sheng has strictly ordered the city to be closed—"

Shan Shiwudao: "It doesn't matter, I just asked the young master for a few pieces of badges for going out of the city, enough for us to go to Zhuolu County."

Dongfang Sheng is so easy to talk to?

Feng Suzhen was skeptical in her heart, but she thought that Zhulu County was only fifty miles away from Huailai, if she worked fast and things went smoothly, one day would be enough to go back and forth.In a short period of time, Huailai has people left by Li Zhaoting and Zhang Shaomin accompanying the prince, so there must be no big trouble.

After thinking about it, she nodded and said, "Since that's the case, it's not too late for this matter. We set off immediately, and we think we can reach Zhuolu County before sunset."

Shan Shiwu readily agreed.

The two simply packed up their luggage, Feng Suzhen arranged for a pawn to give Tianxiang a message, and then took a few people out of the city and headed west.

As the sun was setting, Tianxiang set up a table of hot pot with friends and companions, but she often lost her mind during the meal; Feng Suzhen and Shan Shiwu also went to Zhuolu County at sunset, and calmly dealt with the magistrate's obedience and injustice; But outside Huailaiwei's barracks, there were a few long shadows.

It was a peaceful night.

Huailai City is small, but Huailai Station is not small.

Because it is located in a military fortress, in order to provide strong and fast horses for the soldiers who deliver the military news as quickly as possible, the post station has allocated a large area for raising horses, but the guest rooms are only three small ones.

Ever since Dongfang Shengda, the admiral of the Nine Gates, came to visit and rejected Huailaiwei's reception, but requisitioned the entire Huailai station for his own business, even the original postmaster had to pack up and go to the neighboring subordinate's house to lay a bed on the floor.Even so, his clerical staff and a few military generals who followed from the Hou's mansion also filled the Huailai post.

At the fourth watch, the sky is as dark as ink, and there are no stars and moons.Jingying clerk Wang Zhinan was trembling in the yard with his hands in his hands, staring at the brightly lit lobby and circling back and forth.

He is an official in the Beijing camp. Although he has some qualifications, he has no chance of promotion.Just two months ago, the capital was full of wind and rain, and it was said that the Tartars were about to attack the capital.At this stall, my boss, who was transferred to another position after the war, was slapped for no reason, and replaced by this royal relative who should have fallen out of favor with Dongfanghou's failure, Dongfangsheng Xiaohou.

It is said that once the emperor and the courtiers, Dongfang Sheng didn't move these officials, but brought a few generals who he was familiar with.However, he discussed everything with the family generals, and had nothing to say with them, the scribes.

Before the entire Beijing camp got used to the new commander, the whole army went out of Beijing and followed the current emperor's nephew to trap the emperor's son in Huailai City according to the emperor's will.

Those big soldiers are all forbidden, so they don't have much thought about it, but those who have read the books don't feel so uncomfortable.

The king's heart is unpredictable, and the vice-lord of the country is also the king. In case the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, remembering that the people from the Beijing camp have imprisoned him... After all, according to the attitude of today's emperor, can the current vice-lord still be able to ascend the throne? ?

Wang Zhinan wanted to show his face in front of Dongfang Sheng so as to inquire about some clear news, but Dongfang Sheng didn't even look at him.

Anxiety, confusion, hair loss.

In the more than a month since arriving in Huailai, Wang Zhinan changed from chanting "early hairpin" every day to melancholy "the hairpin of lust".

Especially at night last night, the governor of the East took people to some unknown place, came back in the middle of the night, and sneakily brought some packages.Wang Zhinan who came out to wake up at night immediately became suspicious and waited and watched in the yard.

In less than half an hour, several people in the room quietly came out.Wang Zhinan hurriedly hid in the side courtyard, using a little candlelight to see clearly that those people were still carrying unknown packages-this, this, this, it is really frightening!

The fourth watch is the time when the cock crows and the dog steals!

In the lobby where Dongfang Sheng was used as a conference hall, only Dongfang Sheng and two young military officers were left sitting around the table, carefully observing the things in the middle of the table.

When Dongfang Sheng visited Huailaiwei the day before yesterday, he secretly paid attention to the rooms that his son-in-law Feng Shaomin often went to, and drew the blueprints. Bring back everything that looks weird.Thanks to Shan Shiwu's hasty departure yesterday, Huailaiwei's defense was relaxed a lot, which allowed them to come and go freely.

I have already seen the others, they are all ordinary things, nothing special, so he ordered people to put them back where they were taken. At the moment, the last two items are placed in the middle of the table, and they are exactly from Feng Shaomin's living room. The "suspicious thing" found in that ear room.

One is a round tin "pot" with no handle and no mouth, and the other is a long piece of blue cloth about a foot long.

"This thing, Zhu Laojiu, you brought it back." Dongfang Sheng pointed to the pot feebly, and sighed against the back of the chair.

"Yes, Young Lord!" Zhu Jiuchou, who was young but full of beards, was quite proud of himself, "I don't know what kind of invisible underworld it is. It's good to carry a pot, but Feng Shaomin actually hid it in the quilt. If it weren't for my old Zhu's sharp eyes, seeing that the quilt is unusual, I would almost have missed it!"

"Pfft", a suppressed laugh came from beside him, but it was the other person left in the room, Captain Zhaoxin Chen Baishou.

He smiled and scolded: "You brat, I still think you found something incredible, wrapped it tightly in a furoshiki and didn't let me see it, lest I take your credit for it?"

Dongfang Sheng was very frustrated. After more than a month in his arms, although Zhang Shaomin took the old man Song out of the city on the second day after his arrival, he guarded him like a thief, and kept a lot of people in the house where the prince, princess and others lived. The small courtyard was surrounded by water.The yard is also extremely small, and the needles cannot be inserted, and the oil cannot be splashed.After thinking about it for a long time, he decided to use Huailaiwei, which Feng Shaomin often visited, as the entry point. If he finds out something, he can just weaken the crown prince's wings in a fair and honest manner.Who knows, judging from the current situation, it seems that another busy night has been wasted.

Dongfang Sheng said in frustration: "Forget it, Zhu Laojiu will wrap it up and send it away later."

"Young Lord, don't you want to check this thing, it's hidden in the quilt—" Zhu Jiuchou argued a few words without knowing it.

Chen Baishou interrupted him with a sneer and said: "You are such a mound, you have never even seen Mrs. Tang! This thing was originally filled with hot water to warm the bed. If it is not in the quilt, why not put it together with the chamber pot?" Although It was a sarcasm, but he still explained to Dongfang Sheng: "Don't be surprised, the little governor. His family is poor, and he himself is a small furnace with a hot physique. How would he know this!"

Dongfang Sheng waved his hand: "That's all. Feng Shaomin's physique is really poor, and he's a bitch, and he's using this thing before October—not to mention Mrs. Tang, what did you bring back? What's so strange about it?" ?”

Chen Baishou glanced at Zhu Jiuchou who was full of annoyance, and then Shi Shiran replied: "Young Lord, you have seen all the things in the other rooms just now, they are nothing more than account books or samples of military supplies sent by merchants. The general thought that among all the things tonight, the piece of cloth I took was the most suspicious!"

Dongfang Sheng knew that Chen Baishou's mind was flexible, so he couldn't help but move: "Oh? Why do you say this thing is suspicious?"

Zhu Jiuchou on the side didn't take it seriously: "Young Master, don't listen to him——Chen Baishou, you are overthinking. Isn't this the most common cotton cloth? We use this to make shoes and socks in winter, stuffed with cotton wool, and it can still be made. Jacketed."

Chen Baishou wanted to show off, so he couldn't help raising his voice: "Zhu Laojiu, what do you know that you can't even recognize Mrs. Tang! Open your donkey eyes and see clearly, this is the twill fabric from Songjiang cotton. It is light and soft. It is as good as ours. The coarse cloth used to make jackets is very different!"

He turned his head and said to Dongfang Sheng, "Young Master, your order is that two people check a room, and bring back anything they find strange, and distinguish where to take it if it is normal. Little man Being extra careful, I took a look at each room. There were many and miscellaneous things in several rooms, and even the side room where the son-in-law rested had a lot of goods. The general thought to himself, since it is purchasing military supplies Well, there must be more than one item sent by various merchants. As you can see, the items brought back by other people are not abnormal. But the twill cloth that the villain found was wrapped in white paper and hidden alone in the Under the cotton wool, there is only one piece, and it is just in the gap, as if it was hidden there once, and it was missed. The villain thinks, it must be a bit tricky!"

"Oh?" Dongfang Sheng raised his eyebrows, "Then tell me, where is the trick?"

"This..." Chen Baishou showed some hesitation on his face, "The villain has been in the army for many years, but he has never seen Songjiang cotton used for our big soldiers in military supplies, let alone the ten taels of silver a horse Tribute twill cloth! I can recognize this piece of cloth because there are so many horses in the previous military rewards in Liaodong. The villain is stupid, and I really can’t see what Feng Shaomin’s strange-shaped piece of cloth is used for.”

Zhu Jiuchou on the side laughed loudly: "Hahaha... you still say I..."

Chen Baishou turned his head and scolded: "Shut up!"

Dongfang Sheng thoughtfully picked up the strange-shaped cloth, and took a closer look. Sure enough, he saw that this ordinary-looking cotton cloth was finely woven and felt velvet. It was different from ordinary cotton cloth, and it was rarely seen in the ranks.

He thought for a moment and said: "Okay, the governor knows. It's almost dawn, Chen Baishou, follow Zhu Jiuchou and send this Mrs. Tang back to her original place."

The cock crowed for the third time, and Wang Zhinan woke up.

He looked at the sky sleepily, only to feel that his hands and feet were cold, and his ears and cheeks hurt from the cold.Only then did he realize that he had fallen asleep leaning against the wall at the Mingyue Gate in the courtyard.

Before he could wake up a little more, he felt his body lift up from the ground, and he was lifted up.

"Who are you? Why are you sleeping here? Do you want to assassinate the young master?" A rough voice exploded in his ears like thunder. Scared out of my wits.

"I, I, I... I am..."

Zhu Jiuchou had just lost face in front of Dongfang Sheng, he was unhappy, and he didn't listen to Wang Zhinan's explanation, he carried him back to the lobby and threw him in front of Dongfang Sheng.

"Young Lord, I caught an assassin in the courtyard!"

Dongfang Sheng was staring at the piece of cloth in a daze, and seeing Zhu Jiuchou going and coming back, still carrying someone, he couldn't help frowning.

The trembling people on the ground seemed familiar: "No, no, the villain is an official of the Beijing camp, and he is a subordinate of the governor."

"You are—" Dongfang Sheng recalled, before saying, "I remember your name is Zhinan?"

Wang Zhinan hurriedly saluted and kowtowed: "Xiao Ke's surname is Wang, and he is the governor's clerk. He got up at night and went for a walk in the yard, and accidentally fell asleep. It was not intentional to spy on the governor. The governor is not to blame!"

Dongfang Sheng's brows widened. In the past, his personal guards stood guard at night in the courtyard. Tonight, he sent all these people away. It's no wonder that this person came close to his courtyard.

He sneered and said, "You can sleep in the courtyard on such a cold day. You are in good shape, so why don't you be a clerk. Since you can't sleep at night and like to go out for a walk, then go to the barracks to do watch!"

Wang Zhinan had a bad heart, pleaded guilty repeatedly, and knelt close to Dongfang Sheng: "Forgive me, Dudu, forgive me... a villain, a scholar... Dudu, what are you doing with this?"

Dongfang Sheng was taken aback, and raised the cloth in his hand: "You know this? What is this?"

Wang Zhinan muttered: "This is, this is...Mother Chen..."

Zhu Jiuchou on the side suddenly became anxious, stepped forward and scolded: "What is Mama Chen and Mama Li? What is this thing that Young Master asked? Who asked your mother?"

Dongfang Sheng glared at him: "Go away, the rooster is crowing, hurry up and send Mrs. Tang back."

Zhu Jiuchou curled his lips unwillingly, and retreated with Chen Baishou.

"Get up," Dongfang Sheng's voice softened, "You say this is Mother Chen? Isn't it just a piece of cloth?"

Wang Zhinan got up from the ground, his face was flushed, and he stammered: "Commander...this piece of cloth has this shape and length, so it can only be Mother Chen...or it is going to be used as Mother Chen."

Dongfang Sheng was convinced: "What is Mother Chen used for?"

Wang Zhinan gritted his teeth and said, "It's for women... where did you get it?" Even the washers and cookers in Wucheng Bingma Division are big-headed soldiers, not to mention women, and there are not even a few mares. .

"Women's things?" Dongfang Sheng was a little confused, but still insisted, "Young master is suave, it's not normal to have some women's things around you."

Wang Zhinan: "..." He moved forward and whispered a few words in Dongfang Sheng's ear.

Dongfang Sheng pulled him away from his ear calmly, and asked calmly, "Is this true? How do you know such things?"

Wang Zhinan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Young Master, I've been married for nearly ten years, and I still know how much my mother-in-law's belongings are..." After finishing speaking, he silently lowered his head, thinking to himself: This little Eastern Lord looks like The five-year-old and the third-year-old are still a young child who has not experienced much human affairs.

Dongfang Sheng let out a sigh, and after a long time, he suddenly realized: "Well, this thing is placed on..."

Wang Zhinan buried his head even lower, and comforted in a low voice: "But this one seems to be newly made, it should not have been used before."

Dongfang Sheng seemed to be scalded, and threw the things in his hand on the desk. After thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate. He picked it up and threw it to Wang Zhinan. He turned his face and said: "Take it away, take it back, take it back to your home Use it."

Wang Zhinan hurriedly caught the flying object, held the hot potato and carefully glanced at Dongfang Sheng, he couldn't see the face of the nine admirals, only the red ears of the admiral.

He didn't dare to explain that although this thing is used by women, it is generally not suitable for general use. Seeing that Dongfang Sheng didn't say anything about asking him to go to the office, he quickly responded casually, holding the thing and preparing to leave.

"Wait—" Dongfang Sheng's voice sounded impressively.

Wang Zhinan hurriedly stopped and stood still, his heart beating fast like a drum: Do you still want me to play the watch?

Dongfang Sheng strode up to Wang Zhinan, took the "Mother Chen" from his hand, and reached the desk, took out a piece of white paper that looked cleanest, and flicked the things on the white paper with his fingers. Wrapped up.

Wang Zhinan went in without knowing it, he didn't want to leave for a while, and he didn't want to leave, he could only stand there listening to the rustling sound.After Dongfang Sheng wrapped the things so tightly that they couldn't be seen from the outside at all, he raised his head and looked at Wang Zhinan with piercing eyes: "Then, will you keep this thing for your family?"

Wang Zhinan shook his head like a rattle, denying again and again: "No, no, no, how could it be, my subordinate is a scholar, how could he touch this filthy thing of a woman?" He paused, and said cautiously, "This is all a woman. We keep it by ourselves, although the subordinates know it and have seen mother-in-law cutting cloth to make this thing, but it is the first time to hold it with your own hands..."

After a while, he heard Dongfang Sheng say in a low voice: "Okay, I understand, you step back, don't tell anyone about this. Don't tell anyone!" Although the voice sounded calm, it seemed to be Suppressing some inexplicable emotion.He was afraid that the young Shangfeng would ask him to be a scholar to do shift work just because of his whim, so he hastily saluted and left the room.

It wasn't until he returned to the door of his own room that Wang Zhinan realized in a daze that he seemed to have caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye when he was saluting just now, that the usual fierce eyes of the little prince turned out to be much brighter and softer.

A gust of cold wind blew over, he shivered, and sneezed against the wind: "Oh, oh, does the lady at home miss me? I heard that there are a lot of businessmen in Huailai, and they have lost their hair in the past few days." ——It’s better to go buy some special goods and bring them back to her at dawn.”

The cold wind suddenly picked up outside, and the room was also a bit colder, but Dongfang Sheng didn't notice it. He straightened his strong back and stared at the white paper bag in the middle of the desk.

The howling north wind rolled up the fallen leaves in the courtyard and made a rustling sound. Suddenly, a burst of laughter resounded throughout the post house.

The sky is bright and the ground is clear of frost.

Liu Qian took Tianxiang to the magistrate's place in Huailai, and a group of women arrived at the tailor shop that they had agreed upon.

The shopkeeper at the side was very helpful in recommending top-quality fabrics of various styles and textures for the group. Although there were many merchants in Huailai, few people could spend a lot of money to buy these high-quality cloths that were priced like gold and jade.I finally met a noble person today, and I was so happy after busy work.

Several people picked out the satin, and Tailor He with a tape measure hanging around his neck said courteously: "Princess has good eyesight, this satin is a good material brought from the west, but the color is calm and the pattern is grand, suitable for a young man." The jacket under the fur coat was chosen for the son-in-law?"

Tianxiang nodded: "Well, it is indeed chosen for my husband. It has been windy recently, so stuff more cotton wool, but don't be too bulky, use some light and warm cashmere."

"Princess, don't worry, this bosom is close to the mouth, and the most indispensable thing is cashmere." Tailor He said yes again and again, and then took a pen and paper while writing and asked: "Dare to ask the princess, how long is the arm length of the son-in-law?" ?”

Arm Length...Geometry...

Tian Xiang couldn't help pinching her waist with both hands, and gestured hesitantly: "About, it's as long as my waist."

"..."

What kind of fresh meter is this?

Tailor He coughed lightly: "The princess's waist is one foot seven...Then ask the princess, how long is the son-in-law's waist?"

Tianxiang stretched out her arm again, and murmured: "It seems that my arm is as long..."

Tailor He lowered his head deeply, but Mrs. Zhifu and Liu Qian turned their faces away.

When Tianxiang was picking clothes for the crown prince, she suddenly thought of someone, and couldn't help asking: "Liu Qian, has the news reached the county government from Mr. Zhang? It's been more than a month, and it's time to come back."

Liu Qian was slightly surprised: "Master Zhang sent a letter seven days ago, saying that he has set off to return to his arms, and it will be here in two days—it was the letter my husband read in the Prince's study, why doesn't the princess remember it?"

Tianxiang recalled it carefully, and finally remembered this matter.At that time, Feng Suzhen moved out of the small courtyard to live in Huailaiwei for ten days without coming back, and because of Dongfang Sheng, she didn't dare to leave her brother easily, so she had to read poems to Xiaohuaer every day while thinking wildly. When listening to Li Zhaoting read Zhang Shaomin's letter, it also goes in the left ear and out the right ear.

"Oh, yes, look at me, I'm too confused." Tianxiang laughed at herself, paused for a moment and said, "I don't know if Brother Zhang has prepared winter clothes."

Liu Qian thought about it, and said: "Master Zhang has been taking Mr. Song around these days, so I don't think he has time to think about these things. Why don't we pick out materials for him and Mr. Song first, and then hire a tailor when they come to the city Go and tailor their clothes."

Tianxiang nodded in agreement.

A group of people picked and picked, and finally bought a complete set. Tianxiang carefully counted the clothes they ordered, but Feng Suzhen was still short of a fur coat to wear outside.She took a few more glances at the fur clothing department, but she was not satisfied at all.

The fur coat is of course the most important thing to keep out the cold, but if a good-looking person like Feng Suzhen is wrapped into a ball...it seems quite cute?

Seeing this, Mrs. Sun, the magistrate's wife of Huailai, understood from the bottom of her heart, and immediately stepped forward to whisper a few words to Tianxiang.

Tianxiang nodded, and put down the bulging sable fur that she picked with great difficulty.

Before leaving, Tianxiang saw Liu Qianjia bought a snow-white Songjiang Sansuo cloth, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "What are you buying this white cloth for?"

Liu Qian's eyes wandered, and she bowed her head in embarrassment: "The weather is getting colder and colder, and I don't know when I will return to Beijing. This Songjiang Sansuo cloth is the most soft and warm. I want to make a new middle coat for Zhao Ting."

Although jackets and furs can be customized outside, the clothes you wear next to your body still need to be more careful.

Tianxiang thought for a while: "You and I should add one too."

After the Frost's Fall, the night in the capital city was already a bit chilly, and the burning salary department had already prepared the best silver frost charcoal, and sent it to each rich family, so as to prevent the dignitaries from catching the cold.

However, the earth dragon did not burn in the huge imperial study room, the largest wealthy family in the capital.Because the emperor had taken the golden pill repeatedly in the past year, his physique was very dry and hot. Therefore, for the emperor's comfort, only two braziers were placed in front of the imperial case.

The little eunuch standing in the imperial study room hadn't received his winter jacket yet, and he couldn't help shivering due to the cold.But he saw the prince in front of the emperor standing upright beside the emperor, with a peaceful and peaceful expression.He couldn't help but feel a little envious, and quickly stood up straight, hiding his trembling hands.

The new year is approaching, and there are more and more melodies in various places—autumn harvest, imperial winter, preparation for spring, those who announce good news, those who report disasters, those who pay money, and those who ask for money. on the imperial case.

The emperor had watched the memorial for two hours, and his expression became a little tired. The prince hurried forward, served the emperor, and served a golden pill with strong tea.After swallowing hard, the emperor leaned his head back on the dragon chair and closed his eyes slightly.

Seeing this, the prince lightly folded up the memorial on the imperial case, and moved a stack of battle reports from the Northern Land towards the emperor.

When the emperor opened his eyes, he seemed to have regained his previous spirit.He flipped through a few battle reports, and found that they were similar in content. He couldn't help squinting his eyes, staring at the name on the playlist and thinking for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "This Song Yingxing is the one who made the Godfire Flying Crow last time." A craftsman?"

Wang Gonggong hurriedly took a step forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has a good memory. It is this person. Zhang Shaomin, the inspector of the Eight Houses, also mentioned him when he went to the table last time. He also said that he was invited by Princess Tianxiang to teach the crown prince."

Hearing this, the emperor frowned, and slowly said: "He is just a craftsman who makes weapons, what can he teach the prince? Could it be possible to teach him what to do? Nonsense!"

Wang Gonggong rolled his eyes and quickly explained: "Your Majesty, calm down, Princess Tianxiang has always done things in a systematic way. The old slave heard that this person is not an ordinary craftsman, he seems to be a gentleman who writes books. The book not only involves military carpentry, but also The art of metallurgy and forging—"

"Oh?" Hearing Tianxiang's name, the emperor's expression softened a little, and he turned his head with great interest, "Even you have read his book? Since this person has dabbled so extensively, can he be proficient in alchemy?"

"This—" the prince showed a bitter expression, "This old slave really doesn't know. Your Majesty, you know that this old slave can't read a lot of big characters. How can he understand the books written by his husband? This old slave was only the last time. Hearing Mr. Zhang’s melody and saying that this man is very talented, I got the book and flipped through it a little, only saw the word ‘gold’, and didn’t pay attention to everything else—”

The emperor smiled and scolded: "You old dog, you're only so promising!" After a pause, he said again: "I've almost read the memorial today, find a book written by him, and I'll read it and explain it." Take it easy."

Wang Gonggong responded again and again, and stepped back to find a book.
