Born short-lived

The Jiang Clan compound was built in the imperial palace, and the children of the Jiang Clan studied in the palace with the children of the Royal Clan. When Dong Li invited teachers to be teachers, Jiang Huai Lan was his companion.Jiang Huailan is several years older than Dong Li, and in order to accompany the little princess, she had to learn from scratch.

But the sacrificial hall is not in the Jiang Clan compound, but on the other side of the entire palace, separated by mountains and rivers, it is said that it is for some feng shui.After the high priest of the Jiang clan inherited the mantle, he could only return to the Jiang clan compound to visit his relatives with the emperor's permission.

Because the high priest of the Jiang clan must never leave the sacrificial hall for half a step during the preparation period for the summer sacrifice, so just before the preparations began, the queen granted her the last day off.

The Jiang clan didn't like fighting, so Dong Sheng and Zhou Zirong didn't bring sabers, nor did they even bring a guard.

The lingering prestige of Zhang Lunian's incident has gradually faded, and the rumors of the East Palace are not so tight. Dong Sheng is still the prince Huaxu who is under one person and above ten thousand.As for his experience of being locked in a water prison, at least on the surface, no one will mention it again.

It's just Zhou Zirong's return to Beijing ahead of schedule. Although the empress doesn't pursue it, it doesn't mean that Yu Shi doesn't pursue it.Those people who were afraid of chaos in the world handed over a dozen papers a day to impeach Zhou Zirong for more than half a month, and all of them were beaten back by the queen.

This is also the reason why Dong Sheng insisted on bringing Zhou Zirong with him. The summer festival was approaching, and almost everyone did not forget to give some thought to the Jiang Clan compound, and Dong Sheng took Zhou Zirong to visit the Jiang Clan compound in a big way. Its implication is very obvious.

This person is alone.

Not everyone can enter the Jiang Clan's compound, the palace ban is as strict as the harem, Dong Sheng can only enter after obtaining the imperial decree, and the empress also turned a blind eye to the fact that he took Zhou Zirong there.But as soon as this matter happened, it was immediately spread from ten to ten, and the censors immediately settled down a lot.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Jiang Huaibi went out to meet him in person, and bowed to Dong Sheng.

Zhou Zirong also bowed: "The last general will meet the high priest."

Dong Shengxu gave her a hand: "The High Priest is too polite, I'm not here today for official business, but I just admire the High Priest's reputation for a long time, so I don't need to be formal when I come to visit."

The Jiang family is the cleanest force in the entire palace, and has always been used only by the royal family. If Dong Sheng can make friends with them first, he won't have to be so embarrassing with Jiang Kun.

It can be considered that the empress finally realized whether she should save some people for her own son, so she allowed him to visit the Jiang family compound.

Jiang Huaibi only wore the daily moon white brocade robe in her own compound, without a jade crown, and there was no rich and colorful makeup on her face, her face was almost in the sky.

If you calculate carefully, she is over 25 now, and the sacrifice does not choose her husband, so she is still a perfect body.

Her eyes are small, with long tails, clear pupils, and very thin lips. At first glance, she looks a bit dull.

"Your Highness, please come inside." Jiang Huaibi's voice was pleasing to the ear, she turned her body slightly, and led the two of them into the room, and summoned the servants of the Jiang clan to make tea.

The scalding boiling water dripped slowly from the justice cup, forming a quiet and uniform water column, and the moment the boiling water touched the tea leaves, a strong tea fragrance overflowed the room.

Dong Sheng couldn't help but praised: "This tea is so fragrant."

"As long as your Highness likes it," Jiang Huaibi nodded slightly, asked the waiter to pour the tea, and then said plainly: "This is shipped from Yunnan and Fujian, and the production of new tea from Yunnan and Min this year is much larger than last year."

Both Dong Sheng and Zhou Zirong couldn't help but pause, Dong Sheng raised his eyes to look at her, but Jiang Huaibi didn't seem to see her, and his face still had that clear and indifferent expression.

There was no trace of emotion on Jiang Huaibi's face, and she said flatly, "Thanks to Prince Fuze."

Dong Sheng raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, but didn't speak.

Dianmin used to be Yang Gui's territory, but now Dongsheng has taken it over. Recently, the production of various industries has gradually returned to normal.

Dong Sheng couldn't figure out what she meant for a moment.

"Isn't Your Highness not good?" Jiang Huaibi reminded intentionally or unintentionally.

Dong Sheng smiled and took a sip, but he didn't think about tea at all. Sanyue put the cup back on the table without knowing the taste of meat, and said with a smile: "The tea is full of flavor, it really is good tea."

Jiang Huaibi replied blankly: "This tea is new tea, and the tea tree has only been planted for a few years. Although the quality of the tea is very good, it doesn't have the smell of tea. It's just calming the nerves and nourishing the mind. American ginseng was added in it, and His Highness didn't taste the astringency. son?"

Dong Sheng twitched the corners of his mouth dryly, wondering why there are such prickly people here.

Zhou Zirong smiled with great interest.

Dong Sheng said with a smile: "The younger generation is dull, it really spoils a good thing."

Jiang Huaibi said: "Your Highness's golden body, there is nothing to waste. If Your Highness likes it, I will often send people to the East Palace to send it off."

When Dong Sheng heard it, his thoughts turned around, and he tried again: "It's such a good thing, wouldn't it be too rude not to pay back to the high priest."

Jiang Huaibi didn't say a word.

Dong Sheng continued: "How about this, Gu grew up in the East China Sea, the East China Sea shark beads are quite famous, if the high priest is interested, how about sending some to your residence someday?"

Jiang Huaibi nodded and expressed his thanks: "Then I appreciate His Highness's kindness."

The East China Sea Shark Bead is more than famous, it can be regarded as the best.Originally pearls are extremely precious, but in the East China Sea, only those of the highest quality can be called shark pearls, and if only two or three pearls are produced in ten years, they are considered abundant.

Reciprocity is the most important thing.

As long as you are willing to give, you will definitely have the opportunity to contact.

The high priest was making a show of friendship with them in a disguised form.The Empress rarely allowed people to enter the Jiang Clan's compound, and if she suddenly had nothing to do to let Dong Sheng come, her intentions could not be more obvious.Dong Sheng knew what the Empress meant, and Jiang Huai Bi knew it too.

Jiang Huaibi entered the sacrificial hall on the second day, but the new Dianmin tea she promised was delivered to the East Palace as promised, along with a box of top-quality American ginseng.

"Where are you going to get Donghai shark beads?" Zhou Zirong looked at Dong Sheng who had been standing by the well for a long time, and suddenly began to worry whether he would plunge into it.

East China Sea shark pearls are not eggs, just grab them and they will be a big nest.

Dong Sheng stared at the newly dug well for a while, then turned his head and grinned at Zhou Zirong.

It means, look at you.

Zhou Zirong sighed resignedly——My dear Highness, you are going to ruin my family.

"Don't take it easy when you open your mouth. Sooner or later, you will kill me." Xiangsheng lay on the roof basking in the sun, insulting him unceremoniously.Ever since he brought these Tiangang Lingwu back, the East Palace has not stopped. From time to time, someone will appear out of the blue, and at the beginning, those palace maids and eunuchs will be put down to death. After a long time, it will be no surprise. Always very lively.

Dong Sheng raised his head and scolded with a smile: "I said, sir, can you say something useful?"

But yes, where to get it?

The key is that what he said at the time was not "send one" but "send some", let alone Zhou Zirong's search, even selling Zhou Zirong would not be enough.

Isn't this obviously digging a hole for yourself?

Dong Sheng thumped his forehead.

"Okay, leave it to me," Zhou Zirong compromised, "don't worry about it."

Dong Sheng asked in surprise, "You can really get it?"

Zhou Zirong smiled: "I can't, you come?"

Dong Sheng made a gesture of please.

Zhou Zirong resigned himself to his fate and thought, isn't it just a shark bead?Otherwise, all the words have been released, and Dong Sheng can't be let down like this.

But after all, it is not an easy task. Zhou Zirong reckoned that even in the best case, he would not be able to arrive until after the summer festival.

[The author has something to say: I was too sleepy when I wrote the article the day before yesterday, and the last paragraph was completely illogical, so I temporarily deleted it here, and will re-narrate it in the next chapter. I am very sorry. 】
