Detective in the Red Chamber

Originally, he wanted to rely on the method of "praying for a son" to learn the old things about how rare goods can live in, but seeing the prince's violent temper, he was afraid that before he could find a way to "enjoy the fun", he might die first.

It's just that regrets are over now, and he can only put on a look of wisdom beads in his hands, stood up and said solemnly: "Your Highness, the length of time is not about poverty, but about whether Your Highness can overcome the demonic obstacles in his heart, as long as..."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

The prince stretched out his arms impatiently, and the two young eunuchs outside the door immediately took the clothes, and stepped forward to put them on carefully.

While serving them, the prince questioned: "You said that the morning is the most yang energy of the day, so many women are brought here, and acupuncture and moxibustion decoctions are used, but why is there no effect at all?"

"This……"

Wang Zhenren hesitated for a while before he found the right words: "After all, Your Highness is not comparable to ordinary people. He has long been used to sensuality, so the effect of this medicine is also discounted."

"Your Highness, please think carefully about what you want in your heart. Then we will take the medicine according to the prescription, and naturally we will get twice the result with half the effort."

"Whatever you want in your heart?"

The prince frowned and pondered. In fact, he was already a little tired of loving ordinary men and women.

Only when he insulted his uncle's favorite concubine, Li Shi, could he fully devote himself to it.

But not to mention that Mrs. Li has been dead for more than a year, even if Mrs. Li is still alive, he probably won't be interested in it - after all, his half-disabled body is thanks to Mrs. Li.

If it had been earlier, I could have tried the woman from the Niu family, but right now...

The prince was contemplating very irritably, when he suddenly heard a report from someone outside, saying that the princess was waiting outside the door.

"not see!"

The prince subconsciously refused, but immediately remembered that the princess is also the one destined to assist him, so he changed his words: "Forget it, let her in."

In fact, if the princess wanted to see the prince, there was no need for Hou Jian at all, or even a report, but the distance between husband and wife has grown deeper in the past two years, and the rules have become stricter.

Hearing that the Crown Princess is coming, Wang Zhenren hastily took the initiative to say goodbye and leave.

Hurriedly out of the prince's bedroom, he saw a group of women in palace attire rushing towards him. Although he only glanced at him from a distance, his graceful temperament and demeanor still made Wang Zhenren admire him.

Hey~

It's a pity that there is a rootless husband.

Not to mention how sighed Wang Zhenren was in his heart, but said that after the princess entered the palace, she first quietly looked at the prince's face, because she saw his gloomy face, she felt a little uneasy.

Soon, it will be Sun Tao's fiftieth birthday. As a daughter, she naturally hopes to celebrate her birthday in person.

Because I heard that the prince had a good time with Sun Shaozong yesterday, I thought to come over to discuss with him while the prince was in a good mood. I never thought that after entering the door, the prince actually looked annoyed.

But now that he has come, he can only bite the bullet and ask the prince for instructions.

"Father-in-law celebrating his birthday?"

The crown prince heard about such things, pondered for a while, then waved his hands and said: "I know, I will accompany you to celebrate your birthday at that time."

This was far beyond the princess' expectations.

You must know that because he was tired of the old-fashioned preaching of his father-in-law Sun Tao, even when the prince was in good health, he never came to celebrate his birthday in person.

But now...

This made the Crown Princess think that she had an auditory hallucination for a moment, and she couldn't help asking: "What did your Highness say? You... you want to accompany my concubine to celebrate his birthday?"

The astonished expression made the prince's face darken again, and he scolded angrily: "What? Is it possible that I can't go alone?"

"No, no, no! How could the concubine..."

The princess hurriedly explained, two blushes appeared on her usually graceful and indifferent face, and she looked more and more beautiful.

But the crown prince finds it an eyesore no matter how he looks at it!

Since the root was cut off, this woman has repeatedly sang against herself, without the slightest sense of being a husband and wife, but she still pretends to be dignified and virtuous, and the deceitful mother-in-law has repeatedly stood up for her, which is really annoying!

If it weren't for that fate, he would never have summoned this woman today.

Speaking of...

How should we explain the so-called hexagrams where yin and yang are coordinated and run side by side?

Could it be that this woman wants to have an affair with Sun Aiqing?

and many more!

A few pictures flashed in the prince's mind, and then the whole person became dazed, and after a long time, he came back to his senses amidst the concubine's concerned call.

Then he sized up the Crown Princess for a long time, knowing that the Crown Princess was being looked down upon, he unconsciously clenched the veil tightly, and then asked abruptly: "Since it's my father-in-law's birthday, Sun Aiqing should also go there, right?"

Chapter 886 Family Affairs [Part [-]]

In the morning of the same day, the Sun family.

Qingwen hurried into the bedroom and saw Xiangling was sitting in front of the dressing table holding two hairpins in a dilemma, so she went forward and grabbed one of them, and could not help but put the hairpin on the high-rolled cloud bun for her.

"Wearing that fiery red fox fur today, the hairpin should be more colorful. After all, we are going to talk about marriage."

Ruan Rong was supposed to be in charge of the matter of discussing marriage, but Ruan Rong suddenly became pregnant, and she couldn't go back and forth, so she put all her brains on Xiang Ling's head.

As for Xiangling's first time assuming an important role, she naturally had no idea what to do, so she asked Second Sister You to help her out.

But she said that Xiangling had long been used to Qingwen's ostentation, and she was even happier that she didn't have to worry about it. She pressed the hairpin firmly in front of the mirror, and asked, "It's almost time now, has Sister You ever heard of it?" Ready?"

Qingwen pouted her lips, and said with a sneer: "It was probably in the morning that I was obsessed with the second master for a while, and I didn't get up when I passed by."

After a pause, he lowered his voice a little and said: "There is a big pillow under my body, and I can see that it seems to be older than my concubine's month."

Xiangling chuckled, quickly covered her mouth again, and warned embarrassingly: "Don't let the younger sister of the You family hear this, otherwise..."

"I understand."

Qingwen walked around to the side of Xiangling, took a closer look, and broke off a small piece from the powder cake, ground it into powder, and applied it on her left cheek.

After applying it, he scraped off the floating powder with an eyebrow pencil. Seeing that there were no more blemishes, he supported Xiangling up with satisfaction, took the big red fox fur, and while putting it on her body, he said brokenly: "It's true. You, I don't know if you are really stupid or fake, this is such a great opportunity, don't you want to give Second Master another heir?"

Xiangling giggled, leaned into her ear and whispered a few words, Qingwen's face flushed immediately, she punched the fox fur lightly with her backhand, and said angrily: "Bah! I'm a concubine, you're the only one talking here!"

The master and the servant laughed and laughed, and it was easy to tidy up, but the second sister You next door still didn't hear from her. Because she didn't want to delay the time to go to Xing's family to discuss marriage, Xiang Ling planned to go there to remind her.

Qingwen didn't want to look at Second Sister You's face, and kept the excuse of counting the gifts.

But Xiangling was wrapped in a fiery red fox fur, and when she arrived at the second sister You's room next door, she saw Caixia had already prepared her outfit and was waiting outside with a face full of helplessness.

"Is sister You still awake?"

Seeing this, Xiangling couldn't help being surprised and said: "Didn't it be agreed yesterday, today..."

Just halfway through the conversation, Second Sister You's hasty voice came from inside: "Get up, get up! Sister, wait a moment, I'll pack up... pack up!"

After saying this, there was a coquettish panting sound, as if...

Is the second master not going out yet?

It shouldn't be, the second master obviously...

Caixia next to her saw that her expression was changing, and she was afraid that she was completely wrong, so she hurriedly explained: "Our aunt is doing the secret art of praying for a child, and it is estimated that it will soon be over."

Only then did Xiangling suddenly realize.

After Sun Shaozong concocted the secret technique of praying for a child, Second Sister You learned it enthusiastically. Later, Sun Shaozong went south to suppress the rebellion. This clever woman couldn't cook without rice, so she naturally stopped.

It wasn't until recently that the Concubine De concubine in the palace was pregnant with a dragon seed. It was rumored that this secret technique of praying for a child had an effect, and that Second Sister You picked it up again, and practiced harder.

Coupled with the fact that she had just been stimulated in the past two days, it was definitely a daydream if she wanted to give up this sport and start early.

He had no choice but to wait outside for a long while before hearing Second Sister You greet him inside, and let Caixia go in to wait for her to dress and wash.

Caixia pleaded guilty, pushed the door in with a kettle in her hand, walked around the screen and saw Second Sister You was wiping the handkerchief carelessly, she hurried forward a few steps, and reached out to take the handkerchief.

Second Sister You raised her hand to dodge it, pointed to her chest and said, "Let me untie this shit first, and tighten it a little more today, it almost suffocates me."

She was tall and plump, although she was not as good as Concubine Rong who fell out of favor, but she also encountered obstacles in the ups and downs, so she was wrapped tightly in cloth strips every time she practiced.

Hearing that she was very bored at this time, Caixia turned to untie the cloth strips, three layers inside and three layers outside, finally freed the pair of fat rabbits, and hurriedly took the bellyband to cover it up.

When everything was tidied up, it was already half an hour later.

The second sister You, Tingting, came to the door curlingly, picked up the curtain and walked quickly to the outside room. Seeing that Xiangling was still obediently waiting outside, she curled her lips secretly, then held Xiangling's arm with apologetic face, and said without a word no.

With Xiangling's temper, she wouldn't care about anything with her, but she was afraid that the Xing family would find out if there was a delay. After all, this was Xiangling's first time picking a leader, so she didn't dare to make any mistakes.

Second Sister You felt relieved again.

The three of them arrived in the courtyard like this, and because they didn't see Qingwen coming out from the next door, they sent Caixia to call her in the house.

When Caixia arrived in the next room, she saw Qingwen sitting sideways on the Arhat's bed, with her hands clasped to her chest, her face full of melancholy, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Caixia originally had a mediocre relationship with her, and even had a estrangement because of borrowing money.

But as the two were groomed together by Sun Shaozong, the barrier disappeared, and now the friendship is not comparable to others.

Therefore, seeing her demented appearance, Caixia guessed that she probably remembered the old things of Rongguo Mansion again, sighed in her heart, stepped forward and shook her white palm in front of Qingwen's eyes, and said in her mouth: "I have returned to my soul!" , my aunt is calling you to leave."

Qingwen trembled, and seeing Caixia face to face, she felt relieved again, gave her an annoyed look, and said angrily, "Your grandma has been dragging on for so long, so I'm ashamed to ask someone to rush me!"

With that said, he threw that beautiful stretcher into the dustpan.

But after thinking about it, I felt that it was not safe enough, so I grabbed it again, took it back to my room and hid it in the crevice of the wardrobe.

When Qingwen returned to the outer room again, she heard Caixia faintly say: "If it's time to break it, let's break it. It's too late for us to turn back."

Qingwen knew what she meant, but forced a smile and said, "I don't understand what you're talking about, I'm just looking for a few old looks, so that I can add some dowry to Sister Ping'er."

Hearing her insincere words, Caixia hugged her slender waist, and then took a hand on her swollen breasts, and said with a smile: "You just know what you know—Second Master is so easy to raise." Big ones, I can’t bear to return them.”

"Bah~"

Qingwen pushed her away, and spat angrily: "You can learn from Aunt You!"

As he spoke, he hurried into the room and applied some rouge and gouache to cover up the tear stains from the corners of his eyes.

When she was about to turn around and leave, Qingwen straightened up suddenly, turned sideways and looked at the mercury mirror on the dressing table, only to see the facial features reflected in the mercury mirror, long gone from the youthfulness she remembered, full of They are all the familiarity of Mrs. Chenghuan.

"Can not go back……"

Chapter 887

At this time, Xiangling should have already left, right?

In the official office of the Zuo Temple of Dali Temple, Sun Shaozong held several files in his hands, but he was rarely distracted.

But it's no wonder he couldn't cheer up. Before the situation changed, most of the dossiers submitted to Dali Temple were leftovers chewed by the Metropolitan Procuratorate. According to the evidence and confession, the verdict according to the script will be made.

This is naturally the best thing for those masters who are muddling along or lacking in ability.

But every time Sun Shaozong saw these files, he felt a panic in his chest.

The majestic Dali Temple, the chief constitution of the world's discipline, actually has to live on the food that comes with it, it is really tolerable...

"Dong Weng."

Qin Kejian's cold voice suddenly came from outside the door curtain: "It's time to ask the case."

"Here comes."

Sun Shaozong replied weakly, combed all the files spread out on the table together, grabbed his official hat and strode out.

The case transferred by the Metropolitan Procuratorate last month was handed over to the Prime Minister Yang Zhiming for trial, but this is not a long-term solution after all, let alone the Metropolitan Procuratorate, there is still a "family" watching him .

There is nothing I can do, I can only cheer up and pick a few cases for the first trial.

Because there is no public prosecution and no public trial is required, what is going to be used today is not the main hall of the former Yamen, but the inner hall of the Zuosi Yamen—the Yousi and the inner Yamen also each have an inner hall for questioning cases.

Since it is the exclusive inner hall of Zuo Temple, it is not too far from the official office.

Zhao Nan led the way with official seals, files, etc., and arrived at the entrance of the back hall after a short while.

Sun Shaozong and Qin Kejian pushed the door open, but Zhao Nan went straight to the front, solemnly put the official seals and files in order on the official case, and then bowed to Chen Jingde who had been waiting in the hall for a long time.

Chen Jingde confirmed the evidence and confessions of several cases one by one, and then he waved his hand, and the twelve yamen servants on both sides slammed the water and fire sticks, and the head arrester Huang Bin put his hands on his hips and closed his arms with the other. Shouted on the lips: "The master is promoted~!"

This formalism, the trial in the inner court has not been seen by outsiders.

Sun Shaozong curled his lips and muttered in the back hall—he was unhappy in his heart, and naturally he didn't like everything, even if he was used to these routines, he would inevitably have to complain.

Standing up and putting his hands behind his back, Qin Kejian hurriedly stepped forward to open the door curtain, and Sun Shaozongfa stepped out of the back hall with official steps, and sat firmly under the plaque hanging high in the mirror.

Because Chen Jingde was in charge of taking the confession, Qin Kejian, who had no official status, stood obliquely behind Sun Shaozong.
