The four went up to the second floor, with Le Yao walking a few steps behind.After closing the first door, she whispered to the two men guarding the door: "Keep it safe and don't let anyone disturb you."

The two bowed their heads and clasped their fists, then stood at the door solemnly.

There was a round table in the room, bead curtains were hung on both sides, the arrangement was very delicate and elegant, and a window at the back happened to face the mirror lake, which was very pleasant.

"Sit down." Le Yao beckoned them to sit down, and then she walked around the table, and Shi Shiran sat next to Sheng Yu.She just pretended not to see Sheng Yu's strange eyes, lightly shook off her sleeves, and then reached out to bring over the purple clay pot on the table.

She rolled up her sleeves, revealing a piece of Bai Shengsheng's arm, and poured tea for several people one by one.

"This is the hair tip of the new Yunwu Mountain. It tastes very good. Do you want to try it?"

Le Yao loves tea, and her tea art is also excellent. This cloud tea, poured into a white jade cup, has a clear color, the long and narrow leaves stretch out, and the pieces are soft, and the fragrance on the nose is also pleasant.

Zhao Ziyan is also a tea lover, so he took a sip now.

Le Yao liked her evaluation very much, and stared at her intently: "How is it?"

Zhao Ziyan didn't speak immediately, instead, he sniffed lightly, took another sip, and shook his head with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Le Yao looked anxious: "What are you shaking your head for? Are you just saying something, pretending to be profound?"

Zhao Ziyan said unhurriedly: "Most people who love tea are calm and calm, but you are irritable. However, this tea...you don't seem to use water from Baiyuanquan. The taste is pure, refreshing and sweet, probably Autumn rain, it's rare that you still keep it."

Sheng Yu was very surprised when he heard that, it was just a cup of tea, but he could still taste these things.Fu Yanqing was also a little surprised, took a sip, and then said with a smile: "It can be seen that I am a layman, and I can't drink anything else except that it is very fragrant."

Le Yao clapped her hands, "Your Highness is indeed a master, only you can drink this with such a tricky mouth. However, Miss Su is not bad either. Drinking tea is meant to be fun, to taste what you like, not to drink tea." It's fine to be arty and spoil things."

"However, Your Highness has a good saying. This tea is rare. Last autumn rain, I saved it for a long time before I got a small altar. If there is no more, please taste it." Le Yao was a little proud, and motioned for a few people to drink drink and see.

Cheng Yu looked at the tea in front of her, but felt a little troubled. She didn't like tea since she was a child, and she always got stomach pains after drinking tea, so she never drank tea except when she had to deal with it.It's just that seeing Le Yao's high interest, and listening to them say, He should have given up a lot of thought, it's really not good to be so ungrateful.Seeing that Zhao Ziyan and Zhao Ziyan started to drink, they immediately drank it without changing their expression. Although they were afraid that it would be uncomfortable later, the tea made by this red apricot girl was really delicious.

Although Le Yao seemed to be talking to Zhao Ziyan and the others, his eyes quietly looked at the cold ice cube who had been silent all this time, and felt her hesitation, so he thought for a while.With a person like Sheng Yu, no matter how cold he is, he never loses his manners, so why would he hesitate to drink a cup of tea?

After a while, she stood up and signaled that she would go out for a while, and when she came back, she had another small pot in her hand.

Zhao Ziyan was a little puzzled: "Is this your new tea again?"

Le Yao sat down cross-legged, poured a cup for Sheng Yu, and when she pushed it, moved the teacup in front of her, and said: "This is the flower tea I made myself, and it tastes good, you are lucky. "After that, she raised her eyes to look at Xia Shengyu, smiled slightly, and glanced at the tea beside her.

Cheng Yu was a little stunned, not knowing how to react for a while, and finally lowered his head, sipping the freshly changed tea.

Zhao Ziyan also came back to his senses at this time, and immediately secretly pursed his lips and smiled.It seems that she has a good plan. Le Yao and Sheng Yu are really suitable for cooperation. You must know that although Le Yao is careful, not everyone can attract her attention.

Seeing that the atmosphere was quite good at this time, Zhao Ziyan corrected his expression, and said slowly: "The reason why you two are here this time, I must have already known. The procurement in the palace has always been in charge of the palace's female officials and servants. Needless to say, there are many twists and turns. Even if some people rely on Longwei and enrich their own pockets, there are still many merchants who are eager to take over this job, so everyone can benefit from it."

Le Yao reached out and knocked on the table: "Indeed, the royal family has always been the most ostentatious, and it is also a good face, and it is very generous. Moreover, the cost of a harem is indeed very attractive, and in the name of the imperial merchant, many things There will be unexpected benefits."

After finishing speaking, she tilted her head and looked at Sheng Yu: "What does Miss Cheng think?"

At this moment, Cheng Yu regretted judging people by their appearance and secretly slandered her. When she saw her asking herself, she nodded reservedly, and after thinking about it, she added: "What you said is very true."

Le Yao withdrew her gaze, smiled sullenly, and soon pretended to be serious, but secretly said in her heart, this ice-like Chengyu is quite cute.

Fu Yanqing glanced at the two of them, and said softly: "Indeed, that's why Zi Yan meant to hand over [-]% of the items purchased in the palace to your two families, and the remaining three floors will be used in the future. However, there is one thing It should be noted that this time Zi Yan did this, those people in the harem might hate them to the core. Since they have lost the right to make decisions, they have to consider whether they can meet the standards and enter the internal treasury. Furthermore, be careful not to take the opportunity Stabbing a knife in the dark. If the matter of the imperial merchants is done well, they will gain both fame and fortune.

Both Le Yao and Sheng Yu said cautiously: "Understood."

After Fu Yanqing finished speaking, he lowered his head and thought for a while, then turned to look at Zhao Ziyan: "Ziyan, have you thought about how to deal with those palace people whose interests have been harmed by us?"

Zhao Ziyan nodded: "I thought about it when I made the decision. There are quite a few people involved in the matter of the Imperial Merchant, but not many of them took the big shots. At most, those people got a few cups of leftovers. Those who are in charge, There are very few people who are wise and safe, and there are masters behind them. Some people, no matter whether I hurt their interests or not, they are obstacles to me. As for some people, I still can't offend them, so Le Yao?"

Le Yao spread his hands, and said helplessly: "Understood, Le Yao will give you as much as you want, even if you sell it."

After finishing speaking, she braced her chin and said with a weary look: "It's a loss, it's a loss."

"How is it a loss?" Zhao Ziyan glanced at her and said with a smile.

Sheng Yu took a sip of scented tea, only to feel that his eloquence was lingering, and he continued casually: "It's really a loss to have a lot of money taken away without a single point."

Le Yao was taken aback for a moment, then clapped his hands and smiled, "That's right, Miss Cheng Yu really understands me."

Sheng Yu froze slightly, lowered his head to drink tea, and didn't answer.

Zhao Ziyan and Fu Yanqing looked at each other and smiled slightly.

After the four of them finished chatting, the sun was already setting, and Zhao Ziyan didn't plan to stay any longer. After saying goodbye to Le Yao, the three of them left.

Cheng Yu hurried back to deal with the bills, so he went back alone, Zhao Ziyan and Fu Yanqing were not in a hurry, they strolled along Changyang Avenue towards the mansion.

The street was bustling with people, and vendors along the street were occasionally yelling, and there were many dazzling gadgets hanging on the surrounding stalls.The Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, and realgar wine and mugwort are also displayed. The street is filled with the scent of mugwort, which is very comfortable.

Fu Yanqing lingered on the surrounding stalls, as if admiring those things.Zhao Ziyan looked at her and said softly: "You have been in the capital for more than a month, but I have never brought you out to have a look. It will be the Dragon Boat Festival soon, why don't you go for a walk with you?"

Fu Yanqing stayed in the capital for a long time in the last life, and the capital is almost the same as in memory, so there is nothing to see.But she didn't want to refute Zhao Ziyan's thoughtfulness, so she nodded with a smile.

Zhao Ziyan took her hand and walked towards South Street. When they passed the Taihe Building, they happened to meet a person they didn't want to see.Zhao Ziyan stopped walking immediately, and the hand he was holding was also tense for an instant.

Zhao Ziyan's eyes flickered, and he turned his head to look at Fu Yanqing, but saw a ray of haze from that face.Slowly letting go, Zhao Ziyan watched Zhao Mojian walking over in a purple dress.

She wears a drop of crystal on her forehead, and wears a purple dress embroidered with phoenix patterns, showing her royal status.There was a hypocritical smile in those red phoenix eyes, and he sized Zhao Ziyan up and down, but finally fell on Fu Yanqing.After a while, the corner of her mouth curled into a smile: "Jiumei is very leisurely, she doesn't worry about military pay, but she is parading with people." After finishing speaking, she moved away and walked towards Fu Yanqing who was behind Zhao Ziyan After a few steps, her gaze was presumptuous and interested: "This girl is a stranger, I don't know when Jiumei recognized her, and she is willing to come out of the house to accompany her."

Zhao Ziyan took a step calmly, and stood in front of Fu Yanqing, with an emotionless voice: "I just met a friend by accident."

Zhao Mojian's eyes turned cold, Zhao Ziyan's appearance clearly no longer paid attention to her.She smiled coldly, but the woman behind her looked ordinary, but Zhao Ziyan protected her tightly, and couldn't help but want to see her more.

"Really? His Highness Ninth Prince still has friends?" She squinted her eyes, looked at Fu Yanqing, and said in a somewhat oppressive tone, "Come forward and let me see what kind of friends are worthy of His Highness Ninth's protection."

Zhao Ziyan's breath suddenly turned cold, and just as he was about to explode, the clothes behind him were pulled indiscriminately, Fu Yanqing stepped forward and saluted in a neither humble nor overbearing manner: "Minister Su Jin, I have met His Highness before, so I am rude. "

"Su Jin? But the 'Jin' who is 'Huaijin Ruoyu, too poor to show'?" Zhao Mojian saw that her expression did not show a trace of panic, and there was a magnanimity in her brows and eyes, which is definitely not something ordinary people have. Got some interest.

"Exactly." Fu Yanqing hid the emotions in his eyes and replied.

"It's good..."

"Jin'er's name is naturally good, but Seventh Sister is quite comfortable with such a cliché." Before she could finish speaking, Zhao Ziyan smiled and pretended to be surprised.

Zhao Mojian frowned, although recently she noticed that Zhao Ziyan was getting more and more out of her control, but it was the first time that she was so blatantly embarrassing her in front of others, and she couldn't help it anymore.

"Zhao Ziyan, you are a bit presumptuous!"

Zhao Ziyan raised her hand to straighten her sleeves, then slowly took a step forward, standing side by side with Zhao Mojian, she tilted her head slightly, and said with a light smile: "Seventh sister is still so impatient, as you said, in front of you , I can only keep my own place, how dare I be presumptuous? Could it be that after so many years, not only have I become less and less confident in front of Concubine Xiao, but also in front of me, the imperial sister?"

These few words directly hit Zhao Mojian's sore feet, she raised her palm and patted Zhao Ziyan's shoulder with coldness in her eyes.Zhao Ziyan stretched out his hand and grabbed her hand skillfully, pressing it to her side, Zhao Mojian struggled a few times but couldn't get away.

Zhao Ziyan glanced at her, and said in a low voice: "Sister Huang has a noble status and is not suitable for fighting in the street. I have other things to do, so I won't accompany you."

She let go of her hand, patted Zhao Mojian's shoulder lightly, and took Fu Yanqing straight away.

When the person walked away, Zhao Mojian raised his hand to hold the trembling right arm, his face was very gloomy.Zhao Ziyan's kung fu has reached such a level!Although she is not like Zhao Ziyan, she has experienced many life-and-death battles, but she thinks that she has outstanding talent. With her hard work and acquired advantages, her kung fu is not bad, but just now she has no strength to fight back.

Lu Li, who was protecting her, took some things before leaving the Supreme Harmony Building. He saw Zhao Mojian's painful and angry look, and couldn't help being startled. He stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you!"

Zhao Mojian let go of her hand, her face livid: "It's nothing, go back home!" After that, she said coldly: "Check someone for me, and if you dare to let my concubine know about today's affairs, you will know the fate !"

"Yes." Lu Li had long seen His Highness's moodiness, and replied respectfully.

A few days later, in the early court, Zhong Shuling and the imperial censor jointly went to the court to impeach Zhang Qi, the minister of the Ministry of war, and Xiao Jing, the imperial censor of the capital, and more than a dozen ministers of the imperial court, large and small, for corrupting the law.Cooperating with merchants, selling private salt, disregarding human life, even disregarding the emperor's favor, deceiving the emperor and other felonies, which shocked everyone in the court, and the even more angry Emperor Jing vomited blood in court.

In the end, Emperor Jing ordered that the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, the Imperial Censor, and the Minister of Dali Temple be interrogated, assisted by the Department of Prisons, to thoroughly investigate the case.

However, Xuan Shuo, who surrendered to the case, was personally sent by Zhongshu Ling to strictly guard him. For a while, the capital was once again turbulent.

In Yizhou thousands of miles away, the two armies faced each other, and the war was imminent, and no one could take this man-made disaster into consideration.
