Changqing Ci

The stable carriage suddenly became wobbly. Xun Changqing only cared about driving the horses forward, and didn't bother to worry about the person in the carriage. Fortunately, the half-handed driver was skilled and drove the carriage safely to the gate of the princess's mansion.

Before the carriage came to a complete stop, Xun Changqing jumped out of the carriage, stood aside with his whip attached, and watched as Zijin helped Wei Lingci get off the carriage.

Wei Lingci stopped and looked at her, his face turned paler, and the hair on the sideburns seemed to be wet with sweat, and stuck to his forehead. After smoothing the hair, she said lightly: "From tomorrow, Guozixue will follow you." going or not."

Xun Changqing was angry and wanted to laugh, so he was in a hurry to draw a line... The feeling of displeasure in his heart seemed to be stronger, and he said forcefully, "Are you treating me like a ghost and avoiding it?"

Wei Ling frowned, the cold wind made her a little chilly, and felt the wind piercing into her skin like needles, she tightened her clothes tightly, lowered her eyelashes, avoiding Xun Changqing's implied deep eyes, and said helplessly : "If you think so, you can."

Such deliberate avoidance made Xun Changqing's already depressed mood even more depressed. She nodded, turned around and got into the carriage, and nestled in the corner. Wei Lingci didn't want it, and she couldn't force it.

Once Wei Lingci made a decision, he would be tough to the end. Xun Changqing consciously or unconsciously discovered that Wei Lingci avoided her eyes before, and now even the person who brought her is also avoiding her.The two mansions are separated by only one door, and it is normal for her to leave the house, but when she meets her when she goes out by chance, she leaves in a hurry.

Look down and see, if the corner door is not easy for Xianyun Xianyu to walk through, Wei Lingci may be blocked by others.

After a long time, Xun Changqing was not a stingy person, but after this incident, he felt a little bit angry in his heart, and he didn't go to the princess's mansion to make fun of himself.

The two were at a stalemate. The case of Gongma had been solved, but Shao Cheng was not pulled down as expected. For some reason, the second wife of the Shao family came forward to take the blame. Shao Cheng was only blamed for the crime of lax supervision and was fined some salary. He is still the majestic right prime minister.

But the Shao family was somewhat affected, closed the door, and pretended to be thinking behind closed doors.

It was revealed that Wang Bo, Shangshu of the Household Department, had embezzled tens of thousands of taels of silver. The money was so huge that it was staggering.Yao Kun, the governor of Jizhou, directly escorted him back to the imperial capital and executed him at the right time.

The emperor didn't like the matter of corruption in the first place, and the two of them offended his Ni Lin, and they ordered the disposal without leaving a trace of affection for the emperor and his ministers.The salary of the Shichaotang should be done for the common people, but he is single-minded and seeks his own personal gain, stepping on the shoulders of the court to fill his own private treasury, of course he should be killed.

This incident not only hit the Shao family, but also eliminated the traitors. Of course, the emperor was very happy. He had seen the influence of the Shao family all these years, but he had no way of doing it. However, he knew exactly how capable Yuan Qingming was. The plan is impenetrable.

From exposing to catching the certification, and then Yuan Yu sending the account books to God's capital, no one knew about it, let alone noticed, and the Shao family's power spread all over Daqi, but they still couldn't detect it, which shows the temperament of those who arranged .

Yuan Qingming has achieved his goal, His Majesty decreed to move back to Yuan Yu, temporarily serving as the governor of Jizhou, the guard of the border city transferred his deputy Huang Fulin from the southwest, although he was dispatched by Xun Yi, but he was selected by the emperor, he can be regarded as the emperor Shao Cheng dared not speak, and no one in the court dared to object.

In spring, it is the time when a hundred flowers bloom and compete for beauty.The housekeeper, Yu Yin, listened to someone, and built a long flower stand in Xun Changqing's yard. The yard was filled with a quiet fragrance of flowers, and the branches climbed up the wall along the corner, and faintly extended outside.

The maid brought the ladder over and took the scissors to cut off the part protruding from the head. After all, it is not a good idea for things to crawl out. The master is young and ignorant, but they need to know how to behave as slaves, otherwise they will be scolded in front of the housekeeper.

Xun Changqing sat on the steps under the verandah, squinted his head and watched the maid climb up the ladder, and cut off the vines one by one, she wondered: "Why do you want to cut those green vines, it's just a good year. It would be a pity to cut off the scenery."

Above the emerald green vines is the blue sky, the clouds are surging, inlaid with a bit of rare greenness, even the sky seems to be in spring, and the grass leaves add to the scenery.

The maid holding the ladder knew that Xun Changqing didn't understand these things, so she said in detail: "Princess, you don't know, these branches stick out of the wall, it's not a good sign, it's better to cut them off."

This corresponds to the words in the book: a branch of red apricot came out of the wall.

Xun Changqing smiled, because she was afraid that the people in the palace would rush out. She, the only master, wanted to go to the princess mansion next door, and even wanted to go to these flowers and plants. Whatever these flowers and plants do.

Flowers and plants are ruthless, but people are still sentimental!

There is no major event in the palace these days. Zijin has been following Wei Lingci these days, helping Mu Chen find the address of the iron mine. Xun Changqing has not seen her for several days. Today she came back to Xun Changqing. answer.

In front of his eyes, Xun Changqing smiled, and secretly glanced in the direction of the princess mansion, and heard Zijin reply: "Mu Chen took the pick-up list from Chunniang on the first floor, and followed and the pier is close to Lingyun Mountain, so it is not difficult to guess that the place where the supply came from is Lingyun Houshan. Mu Chen spent money to buy the second batch of weapons. Chunniang was out of stock, so he ordered someone to go back and report to the above. Mu Chen is still following, and the subordinates will come back first."

Mu Chen is the best at tracking people, coming and going without a trace, she doesn't need to worry, Xun Changqing nodded, and Zi Jin said again: "A total of 20 taels of silver was spent, and this came from you, not from the palace. But Miss Wei said that she will pay you back in the future."

The division was really clear, Xun Changqing tilted his head on his elbow, and his spirits were low, "I see, let her do it, I'm not in a hurry to ask for money."

Zijin looked around for a while, his expression became dignified, he squatted at Xun Changqing's feet, and said with a low voice: "Master, the girl Wei next door has been ill for several days. Very bad."

Unexpectedly, Xun Changqing looked up at her, his eyes went deep into the black abyss, and when he looked closely, he seemed to be resentful, grabbing the grass on the ground, "She is avoiding me, and I'm just asking for trouble if I go, please doctor." gone."

"You should go and have a look. My subordinates look at Xianyu Xianyun, who is serving Miss Wei, and his expression is not very good. If you don't go, why don't you regret it?"

Xun Changqing took another look at the Princess's Mansion. Wei Lingci was in good health. Except for the injury in the confrontation with Yuan Qingming, she almost never got sick. She didn't go to the Princess's Mansion for a few days, so why did she get sick? She bit her lower lip lightly, if Wei Lingci ignored her, how would she deal with herself.

Seeing her tangled appearance, Zijin gently pushed her knees, and persuaded: "Even if you are angry with Miss Wei, in the huge imperial capital, only Miss Wei is sincere to you, even if you are angry, you should let it go. "

Zijin probably didn't understand the dispute between Xun Changqing and Wei Ling's words. If he knew, he probably wouldn't have persuaded her. Xun Changqing knew her kindness and nodded, but he still sat there unable to get up. Zijin I stomped my feet anxiously, wanting to say it but dared not.

A shadow flashed by the corner door, the housekeeper Yu Yin's feet were blown by the wind, and his beard was blown back by the wind. He didn't have time to tidy up, so he ran in front of Xun Changqing, out of breath, and said, "Princess... Your Majesty passed it on." Order to let you enter the palace."

Xun Changqing was stunned for a long while, with lingering fears in his heart. The emperor hardly saw her. He didn't even pay attention to his own daughter, let alone the niece of this brother's family.

The butler wiped the sweat off his face, and his tone slowed down, reminding him: "Princess, after you enter the palace, be careful when speaking with His Majesty, and don't be impatient."

Xun Changqing nodded, looked at Yu Yin quietly, his expression was quiet, without any emotional fluctuations, "I know, I know how to measure, Uncle Yu, don't worry."

Yu Yin was still in a waning mood, and it was difficult for Yu Yin to say anything. After all, there was a difference between master and servant. His Majesty sent a carriage and accompanied the guards, so he didn't have to worry about safety.

Xun Changqing went back to the house and changed his clothes, and when he left the courtyard, he didn't forget to turn around and glance at the neighbor, before hurriedly entering the palace with the imperial guards.

Outside the Hanyuan Hall, Yuan Qingming was guarding. Seeing Xun Changqing approaching, he saluted from a distance, and when she approached, he turned sideways without any trace, and whispered next to her: "Your Majesty knows it's you!" layout."

It turned out that he was waiting here to spread the word, Xun Changqing smiled gratefully, and followed the palace servants into the palace.

The emperor's eyes fell on the entrance of the hall habitually, watching Xun Changqing who quickly lowered his eyelashes after entering the hall, with a cautious expression, glanced at the palace people on both sides from the corner of his eyes, and signaled them to retreat.

When he turned around again, he happened to catch Xun Changqing's restless and peeping eyes, and he laughed loudly: "Changqing, you are really like your father, who is clearly a smart person, but pretends to be confused on purpose."

Xun Changqing hurriedly kowtowed, his heart tightened, he lowered his head, and said: "Your Majesty, Changqing doesn't understand what you mean."

The emperor didn't wake her up, let her kneel down, and put down the imperial pen by himself. He could vaguely see a sickness in his brows, but he was still very energetic, and said: "Yuan Qingming's elm head is fine for guarding the gate, but if you want to find out about the tribute horse, Not by him."

Sure enough, I still know, Yuan Qingming will not hide anything in front of the emperor, and Xun Changqing has expected it long ago, with the same expression, he quietly explained: "Changqing just wants to find out this matter for His Majesty, and besides, I have nothing to do all day long, so it’s good to find something to do, or to repay your kindness in taking care of me.”

The emperor smiled, seeing that Xun Changqing was not telling the truth, he followed her words and said, "Still thinking about your two BMWs?"

Xun Changqing's temperament is more like a boy's. He likes these things. After staying in Lingyun Mountain for a few years, he is more free and easy than the daughter of the boudoir in the imperial capital. On closer inspection, he looks more like her grandmother, Princess Qi Huan up.

Similar appearance, similar temperament, but Xun Changqing is used to forbearance, not surprised in front of high-ranking people, this kind of temperament is a bit like Wei Lingci, close to Zhu Zhechi, cold and gentle, these are different from the eldest princess, Better than her.

After knowing these things, he was not angry. A child who was not yet ready, cheated the world, ordered people to collect evidence, and smashed it with one blow.I don't know how much better it is than Xun, who can't stand the big changes.Among the juniors, he is the smartest and knows how to restrain his edge.

It's a pity that it's a girl, and she sighed silently in her heart. The emperor's face still didn't show, and he asked her with a smile: "The horse you've been thinking about so much will naturally be returned to you. Tell me what else you want."

The emperor was careless, she understood that this matter should not be announced to the world, and the people should not know that it was a little girl who solved the corruption matter, and she was afraid that Xun Changqing would feel uncomfortable, so she wanted to reward her with something to comfort her.

The emperor gained fame and became a good man in front of himself, killing two birds with one stone.

Naturally, she would not refuse this kind of benefit. She rubbed her sleeves with her fingertips, her eyebrows and eyes were curved, showing a girl's innocent smile, "Your Majesty, Changqing is about to reach the end of the marriage, and I don't want to be decided by the elders. Can you give me a decree to marry me?" free."

The emperor was astonished, his golden words were actually regarded by this little girl as a reason to resist his parents' orders, his faint eyes fell on Xun Chang's clear eyes, as if he wanted to see other emotions.

But his eyes that know thousands of people can't see Xun Changqing's other emotions. Perhaps this girl thought very simply, and the hall was so quiet that no one could hear anyone. After a long pause, the emperor said: "You want to understand, my lord The reward is only once, and there will be no second time, just this marriage?"

Xun Changqing shook his head slowly, "No more."

The emperor frowned, looking at the elves, why did they get confused at the critical moment, he tried to say: "Nowadays there is a shortage of positions in the household department, and there are precedents for female officials in this dynasty. You are also a descendant of the Xun family, so you don't want to enter Is it effective toward the court?"

This is a big piece of fat placed in front of Xun Changqing, the emperor rarely chooses female officials, this reminder can also be seen as his appreciation for Xun Changqing.

But Xun Changqing was unmoved, "Your Majesty, Changqing has not reached Ji, I'm afraid it's not suitable, and besides Changqing Zhi is not in the court, you should reward me with something else."

If you say you are not surprised, you are lying. The emperor thought that Xun Changqing's painstaking management was just to enter the court, so he asked this question, but people are not willing to do it now. He really did it to share his worries. Know how to advance and retreat.The emperor was very satisfied and did not force it, so he agreed to it.

In front of Xun Changqing, the emperor personally drew up the imperial decree, sealed it with a jade seal, and bestowed it on her.

Just now he was still calm and indifferent, after receiving the imperial edict, Xun Changqing's peach blossom eyes narrowed into slits with a smile, the emperor was also amused by her appearance, and teased: "Which young man are you looking at?" Your Majesty, I am afraid that your father and the king will not agree, so come here to ask for an imperial decree to silence him."

Holding the imperial decree, Xun Changqing said duplicity: "Your Majesty, you are joking, Changqing just wants to be a little bit more pure."

The emperor had a lot of government affairs, so he stopped teasing her, and ordered his left and right to send her out of the palace.

Out of the Hanyuan Hall, after stepping down the long steps, I saw a familiar slim figure outside the palace wall. Unsurprisingly, it was Wei Lingci. When he saw her, he lowered his long eyelashes, avoiding her probing eyes .

Xun Changqing handed over the imperial decree tightly guarded in his hands to Zijin, and walked towards Wei Lingci slowly, without hiding the obvious anger in his bright black eyes, the small flame seemed to swallow Wei Lingci , scorching and flying, she said quietly: "Miss Wei, I have asked His Majesty for an imperial decree, and my marriage is my own decision, and my father can't interfere."

A line of Miss Wei paired with Xun Changqing's angry and tense face, teasing Wei Ling's words that hadn't smiled for a few days, she slightly pursed her lips, watching Xun Changqing so angry that even her earlobes were stained red, I felt pity After seeing the scene, she didn't speak again, nor did she shatter her hope.

She briefly explained the purpose of her visit: "The empress passed on the decree, ordering you and me to enter the palace, and I will wait here for you to go to Changle Palace together."
