Prince Shen of time travel
Chapter 8 Listening to the Corner
When I woke up in the morning, the snow had stopped in the middle of the night, but the north wind was a bit strong, blowing on my face like being cut by a knife.Shen Hexi tightened the cloak on his body, and after confirming that the corner door on Li Baihan's side was not open, he let Xiaohuan walk out of the alley with him in his arms.
As soon as I walked to Emerald Street, I met a group of patrolling troops in armor. When Xiaohuan saw those tall military masters, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. Go back." Xiaohuan stood in front of a grocery store with Shen Hexi in his arms, and said in a low voice after the patrolling soldiers passed by.
"Don't be afraid, Xiaohuan. We are not bad people. They won't arrest us. We can rent a carriage over there. Let's take the carriage to West City." Shen Hexi had slipped out of Shen's residence countless times, They are very familiar with Yong'an City. The two of them, a young son and a young woman, are a bit too conspicuous to walk on this street to the West City. In order to avoid troubles for themselves, renting a carriage is the most appropriate arrangement.
Seeing that Shen Hexi insisted on going to the West City, Xiaohuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and rent a carriage.
There are not many vendors selling stalls under martial law in the city. Usually, the west city is the busiest in the morning. After this martial law, many small-scale vendors who live outside the gate of the west city have stopped entering the city. Now most of the stalls in the city are living in In the city.
There are not many vendors, but it does not mean that there are fewer people on the street. This West City is much more lively than the East City where Shen Hexi lives. These civilians seem not to be affected by the martial law and are busy with their own affairs as usual.
In Aoki country, except for the ladies of the big families who do not show their faces, girls of common people and servants do not abide by this unwritten rule. It is not uncommon to have a few pennies and go out for a walk when you have nothing to do. After all, there were very few entertainment items suitable for children in ancient times.
In the past, Shen Hexi and Li Bohan came to Xicheng twice to listen to books. This time, the teahouse he came to was also the one he had visited before, a teahouse where he could listen to music and books.
The teahouse is three floors high, and the furnishings on each floor are different. Shen Hexi chose the Pine Pavilion on the third floor. The furniture on this floor is made of pine trees with a stick of rosin.The teahouse was still lively as usual, Xiao Huan, who was dressed in civilian clothes, hugged Shen Hexi and mixed with the crowd, and entered a small private room without attracting attention.
The so-called private room in the teahouse is just a partition near the window, with a bead curtain hanging in front of the partition to slightly block the view.There is no window paper on the window, but a few pieces of white transparent white crystals are inlaid. This white crystal is somewhat like glass but much stronger than glass.White crystals are very common in Qingmu country, but only a few people use them because of their high hardness. After all, it is not an easy task to polish a stone to be as thin as paper.In Aoki country, only mid-range stores use white crystals, and slightly higher-end places use colored glaze, and most wealthy families use colored glaze instead of white crystals.
Shen Hexi ordered tea and snacks, leaned back on the chair in a comfortable position, reached out and touched the white crystal on the window, and lamented that the craftsman is really good now, he once got a piece of white crystal and wanted to polish it into a magnifying glass, but it turned out The hands are worn out, and the white crystal is only missing one horn.
"Master, do you want Xiaohuan to rub your body for you?"
"No need, I'll just rest for a while." Shen Hexi said weakly.The roads in the city were uneven due to several consecutive heavy snowfalls and could not be cleaned in time. Taking a carriage all the way from Jade Street, the bones of Shen Hexi's body were about to be shattered. Now sitting on a chair, even with thick cushions , he was still very weak all over.
The roads in Yong'an City are all like this, and I don't know how people in the surrounding remote towns travel. It is estimated that the roads in many places have been blocked a long time ago, so the life of those common people may be difficult again.
It is said that auspicious snow heralds a good year, but if the snow falls too much, it will become a disaster.
Shen Hexi was wandering, when the storyteller in the teahouse finished speaking and took a break, a young woman played the piano instead.The chaotic teahouse became a little quieter. The woman playing the piano was one of the treasures of the teahouse. Countless romantic scholars and tea customers came rushing to her.
"Brother Li, I didn't lie to you. The sound of this Miao Niangzi is simply a fairy sound, and she can definitely be ranked first in this Yong'an City." There was a low laughter coming from the compartment behind Shen Hexi. Surely some dude came out to have some fun.
"Brother Zhang is really good. You can find all the luthiers in the teahouses in the west city. Could it be that Brother Zhang intends to marry this wonderful lady as his concubine?" said a slightly deep voice.
"There is a tigress in my family who dares to marry a concubine. Last time, the concubine was killed by her within two days of entering the house. Hey, now I only dare to look outside. Brother Li is still very good at this , your wife has given you several concubines." Someone Zhang complained with a crisp voice.
"What's the use of having a beautiful concubine at home? I can only go home once a month now. If you hadn't asked me to come out for tea today, I wouldn't have left my delicate concubine to go out to have a shower." Li said with a deep voice. Someone sighed.
Someone Zhang: "Um, brother Li has been on duty in the palace recently, but I know why the whole city is suddenly under martial law. I went out of the city yesterday and was inspected several times before I was released."
Someone Li whispered: "I tell you, you must not spread the word. Although the person above is sick, he is not as evil as the rumors. When I was on duty yesterday, I saw someone delivering notebooks to the imperial study. But I I heard that Yongle City is not peaceful recently, the one above is on guard now, and thousands of internal guards have been sent inside and outside the palace."
Zhang was surprised and said: "The current queen mother is not the biological mother of the superior, so at this time, it is not because she wants the superior of Yongle City?"
Someone Li: "Who knows, the one in Yongle City was young back then, and the queen mother had no choice but to support the current one. Now that so many years have passed, the one in Yongle City has grown up and has full wings. Maybe that chair can really fall. in his body."
Someone Zhang: "Hey, I don't know if the replacement of the chair this time will harm Chi Yu. I heard from my father that half of Chang'an Avenue was empty during the last turmoil."
Someone Li said in a low voice: "It depends on how long the one above can last. Let me tell you that there is chaos in the house recently. Concubine Li wants the eleventh prince to be the emperor, and she has been serving in the emperor's palace these days." .”
Someone Zhang: "Empress Shen has General Shen as her backer, so it's not so easy for Concubine Li to want her son to be emperor."
At the end of Lady Miao's song, the voices of the two people next door became even lower. Shen Hexi listened for a long time but did not hear what the two behind them were talking about.However, he already had a solid idea in his heart. If the emperor is fine, the crown prince and concubine Li may still have to deal with each other. As long as the crown prince does not ascend the throne and become emperor, Li Baihan is basically in no danger. It is estimated that all the energy is on the prince.
It's just that Shen Hexi was still a little worried. Why was the small corner door in Li Baihan's yard locked?Could it be Li Bohan who locked it?
Miao Niangzi's piano sounded again, and the two gossips next door began to pick up the secrets of the palace again. This time, Shen Hexi didn't listen with his ears up. He had heard about Queen Shen, Concubine Li, and the Prince's Mansion for a long time, or The secrets of these three families are no longer secrets in Yong'an City.
Concubine Li is the granddaughter of Mr. Song, the current Prime Minister of the Left. Speaking of which, Mr. Song is also a wonderful person. When the crown prince was choosing a concubine, he married his youngest daughter to the crown prince, who is now the crown prince, Li Baihan's mother.
Originally, this event was considered a happy event, but I don’t know why Lord Song’s mind was so twitched. After a few years, when the emperor was choosing a concubine, he sent the child adopted by his brother’s family to his son into the palace, and returned it to him the next year. The emperor gave birth to eleven princes and named Concubine Li.
Because of this incident, the crown prince was furious and alienated Prime Minister Zuo. Almost all the officials in the court were watching the prince's jokes. Before Concubine Li entered the palace, Prime Minister Zuo always stood by the crown prince.
Concubine Li's birth mother was just a servant girl, and Zuo Xiang's second son had never had any children, so she was adopted under his name to raise her.If Prime Minister Zuo hadn't sent her into the palace, if she hadn't given birth to the eleventh prince, maybe she would just find someone of the right family to marry in the future.
But this person's desire can't be satisfied. Apart from Empress Shen, Concubine Li's mother's family has the highest status in the palace. The luxurious life after entering the palace has made Concubine Li's mind more and more serious, and it has continued until now that she wants to be a The queen mother wants this glory to accompany her for the rest of her life.
"Young master, let's see if that person is Master Han." Xiaohuan suddenly pointed out the window and said.
Shen Hexi followed her fingers to look, and sure enough there were several young men in black standing by the side of an alley, one of them was walking towards the alley, although he couldn't see his face clearly, but from the back Look, he looks a lot like Li Bohan, but this person's aura is much stronger than Li Bohan's. Seeing those guys behind him who are all bunted in winter, Shen Hexi is a little unsure.
Li Baihan has always been pure and kind like a little white rabbit, how could he be with a group of reckless men, and judging by his posture, he is still a leader, he must have misjudged the wrong person.
The man in black quickly disappeared into the alley, Shen Hexi looked away and said, "Xiaohuan must have misread it, that man looks nothing like Brother Han except for his height."
Xiaohuan curled her lips in doubt, although she couldn't see the characters outside very clearly through Bai Jing, but she must have seen it right.But since the young master said no, she didn't worry about it anymore.
Shen Hexi stayed in the teahouse until lunch time before going back with Xiaohuan. This teahouse was indeed a treasure. He stayed for a whole morning and heard a lot of interesting news. He even knew that the former prince and princess, and his Both uncles were apprentices of the tea ceremony master Unknown Master.This is the first time he has heard of this, and if he has a chance some other day, he will ask his uncle if it is strange to be brothers with the crown prince.
His Royal Highness, who was mentioned by many people today, is currently in his secret room, having a secret conversation with Shen and Xia, who are said to have been on duty in the palace.
