Two days later, the story of the general's wife risking her life to save Princess Yan spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.

A storyteller compiled a storytelling about the incident, telling about the dangers of that day, and how cunning the assassin was and how hot his methods were.How is the general's wife both beautiful and brave, with superb martial arts skills, and rescued Princess Yan from the predicament of mortal death with only a cloak.

The whole story was told one after another, and the audience could not help clapping and applauding.

After Biluo learned of the 'story', she said angrily to Xu Qingqing: "These daring untouchables dare to make up the princess, so I will report to the officials to deal with them!"

In the story, as a protected person, she is not mentioned much, and it is not considered a "arrangement", but her existence is only a foil for Ziying's heroism.When the storyteller described how Ziying rescued her, she exaggerated and deified.When Ziying's image is elevated, it will naturally appear that she is a little small.

"Where did you get the news?"

"When Zhenzhu went to buy bergamot cakes in Yong'an Building, she heard it by ear."

Recently, Xu Qingqing likes to eat bergamot cakes from Yong'an Building. Basically every three days, the third-class maid Pearl in the courtyard will go to Yong'an Building to buy it.

Xu Qingqing sent people to visit several other teahouses similar to Yong'an Building to see if there were storytellers in those teahouses telling similar stories, but it turned out that only Yong'an Building was the only one.

I went to Yong'an Building to look for the original storyteller, but he disappeared.After inquiring about the shopkeeper, I found out that the storyteller's story was just a trial lecture.Although this story has been spread throughout the capital, no one dares to tell the story of the nobles in public like this.How could the shopkeeper dare to leave such a "bad root" in the teahouse, and quickly dismissed the person, but he didn't know where the person lived.

In the vast sea of ​​people, it is difficult to find people.

When Zhu Di came back, Xu Qingqing was sitting leisurely in the room drinking tea, she smiled softly when she saw Zhu Di.

"Is something wrong?" Zhu Di sensed something was wrong.

"It's okay." Xu Qingqing raised her tea bowl again, her eyes frowned, and her sleeves slid down, revealing a particularly delicate and white wrist.Her lips are spotless and red, and when she sips tea, her posture is dignified, with a bit of chastity and virtuousness, but she doesn't know that the irrepressible playfulness in her eyes has already betrayed her.

She pretended to be okay when something happened, and it was not a big deal. She figured it out, so she knew it well.

Zhu Di didn't show it on the face, but just laughed in his heart.He sat beside Xu Qingqing, and cooperated with Xu Qingqing, letting Xu Qingqing speak as soon as he had something to say.

"It's all right." Xu Qingqing personally offered Zhu Di tea with both hands, and politely asked him to use it slowly.

Zhu Di stopped talking, and after taking a sip of tea, he said to her, "When I enter the palace in the afternoon, my father and queen plan to reward her with kindness."

"It's time to reward, after all, everyone in the capital knows that she saved me."

Zhu Dijing waited for Xu Qingqing to speak.

"I've been wondering what she meant when she suddenly grabbed me at the birthday banquet. Now I figured it out. Everyone was in a mess at that moment, and I was very scared. She knew I had feelings for her. If she was on guard against me, but suddenly attacked me at that time, her behavior would easily arouse my disgust. Scolding her, berating her or punishing her, no matter what, as long as I have a bad attitude towards her, the next thing will be Someone said it."

Xu Qingqing summoned Pearl and asked her to repeat to Zhu Di the storytelling she had heard in Yong'an Building.

When Zhu Di was listening, he tapped his fingers on the table lightly, and looked at Xu Qingqing with a smile on his face.

"For example, 'Princess Yan doesn't know good from bad, proud

Slow and rude'; 'The general's wife is magnanimous, repaying grievances with virtue'..." Xu Qingqing continued the previous conversation, she took Zhu Di's hand, tilted her head and asked him, "What does the lord think the purpose of this general's wife's actions? "

"I don't know." Zhu Di said.

Xu Qingqing immediately let go of her hand, "There is something that the prince doesn't know?"

Zhu Di chuckled again, staring at Xu Qingqing, "There are many."

"Then what if I tell the lord that this storyteller was actually specially arranged? Some people know that I love the bergamot cakes in Yong'an Tower, and when Zhenzhu went to buy dim sum, the storyteller dared to tell the story of Princess Yan. Then in a blink of an eye In the meantime, the scholar will not be found."

"What concubine?? ♂ Please come to Old Time Literature to read the complete chapter ♂" Zhu Di accurately grasped that the pronunciation of a certain word in Xu Qingqing's long sentence was wrong.

"Princess Yan." Xu Qingqing asked innocently, "What's the problem?"

Before Xu Qingqing finished speaking, she already felt that there were more hands beside her left ear.And she felt that there was a threat in Zhu Di's eyes, this dog man must want to ask her for the key to the Treasure Pavilion again!

"The nickname 'King of Hell' was not given to me by my concubine. People outside secretly call me the prince. I don't want the prince to be kept in the dark. Of course, I also want to emphasize the reputation of the prince outside, so I just quote it. "Xu Qingqing explained with a smile.

Xu Qingqing waited for a while, seeing Zhu Di with a blank expression on his face, sitting quietly drinking tea, unable to figure out what he was thinking for a while.

Xu Qingqing asked Zhu Di again, "What purpose does the lord think she has?"

Zhu Di swallowed the tea in his mouth, and his Adam's apple moved slightly, looking a little sexy.

Xu Qingqing stared at the 'tangyuan', reached out to touch it, and heard Zhu Di's answer before touching it.

"Repay a favor."

"What's the picture?" Xu Qingqing continued to ask.

"The play is not over yet, let's see."

Xu Qingqing finally touched the Adam's apple, and rubbed her fingertips along the shape, "So she's coveting my glutinous rice balls."

Zhu Di was stunned, looked down at Xu Qingqing's movements, and frowned slightly, "It's only half an hour."

Xu Qingqing didn't have time to realize what Zhu Di meant when she suddenly spun around and was hugged horizontally...

Until before entering the palace, Xu Qingqing still felt that her legs were weak, wishing to chop off her hand that touched the 'tangyuan'!

When the two arrived at Kunning Palace, Ziying had already arrived.She was sitting on a low stool at Queen Ma's feet, smiling and pinching Queen Ma's legs.

"This is a technique that Ziying learned from the old lady of the Fu family when she was living in Zhangzhou. It can relieve leg pain to some extent. How do you feel now?"

"It's better." Empress Ma laughed.

"Using this method for a year or so, no matter how warm your legs are, you will rarely commit the same crime again." Ziying continued.

Empress Ma's knee numbness is the root cause of the disease when she was working in the folks. In fact, it is "old cold legs".The disease is as its name suggests, as long as you keep warm and not get cold, it is not easy to suffer from it.Ziying's pressing method is just to stimulate the acupoints and play a role in immediate relief. Let alone a year or a half, it will still be the same for ten or a half years, and it can't cure the disease at all.

Ziying's words were clever, as if her technique played an important role.

Everyone present knew that Xu Qingqing was good at medicine, and if Xu Qingqing revealed that Ziying's statement was false, everyone would naturally believe it.

Ziying has played tricks on her many times. Whether it's pulling her hand suddenly or telling a story, they are actually trying to provoke her.And Ziying already knew that her maids often went to Yong'an Building to buy snacks, how could she

I wonder if she knows medicine?Now that he deliberately said this in front of her, he was afraid that he was setting her a trap again.

Ziying is now her savior.If she speaks out at this moment, at most it will make Ziying cry and confess her crimes. The grievance means that she just listened to the old lady of the Fu family and believed it.Who is the old lady of the Fu family?The mother of General Fu who died for the country and Ziying's mother-in-law, so Ziying believes her mother-in-law's words are "filial piety".

Furthermore, when it comes to the old lady of the Fu family, it is inevitable that she will talk about how pitiful and pitiful she is for a white-haired man to give a black-haired man to her. Empress Ma will naturally feel distressed, and she will feel that there is nothing wrong with Ziying's "filial piety", and will even be more sympathetic because of it. Take pity on her and recognize her qualities.After all, filial piety must be the first in everything, and how many men can be officials with "filial piety".

Therefore, if this matter is exposed, she will only be labeled as a 'careful, destroying the atmosphere' in the end.This will be a vicious chain reaction. If a person is wronged and angry, he will easily lose his temper and do wrong things impulsively. Coupled with Ziying's tricks one after another, her good image in front of Empress Ma will gradually deteriorate. corrupt.Fortunately, these things happened to her, and she was able to hold on.If she were Jin Princess Xie, she would have been driven 'crazy' by Ziying's tricks.

Empress Ma smiled and said to Zhu Di and Xu Qingqing: "Look at how filial this child is, you husband and wife should also thank her."

Xu Qingqing and Zhu Di promised that although it was "thank you", the difference between superiority and inferiority was insurmountable, and the way of expressing gratitude from high-ranking people was nothing more than generous gifts.Ziying also saluted humbly to thank her.

"Thanks to my sister. Fortunately, my sister reacted in time and discovered those assassins early. None of my guards are useful. I only knew after listening to my sister's reminder." Xu Qingqing praised with a smile when rewarding Ziying's credit.The few things given to her are also treasures, and it is not so easy to dare to pick things out of her hands.

When Ziying paid respects to the final rewards, she felt a twitch in her heart, and almost missed it, smashing these rewarded jade events into pieces.Why did she feel that there was something in Princess Yan's words, that she was insinuating that she knew the assassin was there in advance?

When Empress Ma heard Xu Qingqing's words, the smile on the corner of her mouth suddenly subsided a little, and she became suspicious.If the Yanshan guards were said to be useless earlier, Empress Ma might not have been overwhelmed, but since his fourth son experienced several assassinations, the emperor has already increased the strength of the Yanshan guards, and even rationed the most vigilant masters among the pro-army. The fourth child.The elite of these elites are not vigilant at all, not as good as Ziying?Although Ziying is also a martial arts practitioner, she is a woman after all, and she has never had the experience of a pro-army guard. How can she compare with all the guards present at that time?

"Princess Gao Zan, I happened to see a strange light flickering in the forest at that time, and I suspected that there were iron objects, so I thought there was an assassin." After Ziying respectfully handed over the things in her hand to the people around her, she hurriedly explained.

Xu Qingqing smiled and nodded.

Empress Ma made sense after hearing this explanation, but once the seeds of doubt are planted, it is difficult to dispel them.What's more, this Ziying was vaguely restless back then.

"I feel kind when I see my sister. Let's go for a walk in the garden together later?" Xu Qingqing chased after the victory and invited Ziying to ask.

Ziying was startled, she had no reason to refuse, and then followed Xu Qingqing to the Imperial Garden.

Xu Qingqing asked the people around her to follow her from a distance, held Ziying's arm with a smile, and talked with Ziying alone.

"Sister wants to enter Prince Yan's Mansion?" Xu Qingqing cut to the chase.

Ziying was stunned again, and immediately knelt down to deny it.Xu Qingqing had already prepared this move

, holding Ziying's arm tightly, not allowing her to kneel.

"This is what we sisters are talking about at this moment, you don't have to be polite, if you say something wrong, just take it as a joke." Xu Qingqing is dignified at this moment, like the mistress of everyone.

Ziying glanced at Xu Qingqing, bowed her head and said nothing.

"With my younger sister's beauty, the past friendship with the prince, and the mother's intention to remarry my younger sister, it is very easy to enter the palace to be a wife, but it would be too wronged my younger sister."

In the early Ming Dynasty, women's chastity was not so strict. Today's concubine Da Ding in the palace was originally Chen Youliang's concubine, and now she has given birth to two princes for the emperor.So Xu Qingqing's proposal is very feasible.

Hearing this, Ziying slowly raised her eyes to look at Xu Qingqing, her eyes were full of seriousness, but she said: "Princess, don't make fun of Ziying anymore! Brother Di is very powerful, Ziying is not worthy of you!" .”

"If my sister's fairy-like appearance is not worthy, who is worthy?" Xu Qingqing asked her back with a smile.

Ziying lowered her head even lower, "Ziying absolutely dare not talk to the princess—"

"But don't say that, if you don't come to this palace, there will be other women coming. To be honest, my sister's behavior like this makes me feel at ease, at least she won't take my position as princess."

Xu Qingqing's words stabbed Ziying's heart, but at the same time made her jump for joy.It is a fact that she is remarried and cannot be the main concubine, but it is precisely because of this that Princess Yan has lowered her guard against her.

Ziying continued to lower her head.At this moment, if she didn't say anything, it was tantamount to acquiescing.

"But if my sister really wants to, I have to remind my sister."

Ziying looked up at Xu Qingqing.

"The prince doesn't like Hu Weiyong very much. My sister and the Hu family are too close, which violates the prince's taboo.? Old time literature? ♂ Please come to the old time literature to read the full chapter ♂" Xu Qingqing just finished speaking, and found Ziying's Her face turned pale, she held back the smile on the corner of her mouth, and continued to say to Ziying with a straight face, "Who is the most important person in this palace, my sister must know better than me. After all, don't we women all rely on men to live?" , men are gods, it is not appropriate for you to offend heaven before you even enter the door."

The matter of the guard going crazy and the assassin cannot be caused by Ziying alone, there must be a relationship between Hu Weiyong and Ziying.If this point is clarified, then the whole thing will be clear,

"Sister, I—"

This changed the name from 'Wangfei' to 'Sister'.

Xu Qingqing smiled and patted Ziying's hand, telling her not to explain to herself, "It's serious to explain to the prince, I don't care here. We will all live in the palace to accompany the empress."

Ziying never expected Princess Yan to be such a magnanimous person, although she is a bit stupid to be so magnanimous, but it is just right for her.She glanced at Xu Qingqing gratefully, and hurriedly saluted and thanked her.She already understood Princess Yan's last sentence, and she was staying in the palace... The princess was giving her a chance to explain to King Yan.

After the two returned to Kunning Palace, Xu Qingqing acted like a baby and begged Empress Xu to stay. Ziying, as Xu Qingqing's 'benefactor' and Empress Ma's half daughter, naturally also stayed.

In fact, Empress Ma also had this intention, her eyes seemed to glance over Ziying and Zhu Di unintentionally.

"What are you doing?" Zhu Di questioned Xu Qingqing after the two returned to their room.

"It's nothing, I just want to pay back the romantic debt that Wang Ye incurred."

Xu Qingqing raised her chin triumphantly, but Zhu Di immediately pinched it.

"My concubine's romantic debts were all handled with the help of this king."

Xu Qingqing froze for a moment, thought of the little carpenter and the Lingguan, and touched her nose in a sense of reason.

"Then the prince will go out for a walk when he has time, and I will come later?" Xu Qingqing asked politely.

Unexpectedly, without saying a word, Zhu Dizhen turned around and was about to go out for a walk.

"Remember to walk slowly." Xu Qingqing instructed, then rolled her eyes at Zhu Di's back.

Dog man, care about everything!
