miscalculation

Chapter 12 Chapter 12

Since Shen Lingjiao was admitted to Yin's mansion for a short stay, she has been kept out of touch with the outside world. Although the maids in the mansion also came with her, they don't know what's on her mind.Although Yuzhu is loyal, she will definitely not help her have an affair with Qin Xin.After thinking about it, she didn't dare to leave the mansion easily, she could only hope that Qin Xin would be able to find out that she was here because of his supernatural powers.It's just that there are many people in Taifu's residence, even if Qin Xin knows it, he has nothing to do.

Grand Tutor Yin Zhonglin had an eldest daughter, Concubine Lan Gui, and two sons. The eldest son, Yin Yuan, was the governor of Jiangsu and had been away for a long time. The second son, Yin Qifeng, was the magistrate of Jiangling.Jiangling is the capital, so it is naturally different. Recently, Empress Jiayuan will be worshiped, so officers and soldiers are patrolling everywhere.Especially the people in Yin's house were extremely busy preparing for the marriage.

Shen Lingjiao saw that the wedding day was only a month away, so she thought of a way out, and the post-sacrifice ceremony tomorrow might be a way to send a message.She wrote the note early and thought of a time to find an opportunity to spread it.I was so anxious that I didn't close my eyes all night.

The next day, they sat in sedan chairs and went to the imperial tomb hidden by Empress Jiayuan.Since the Holy Majesty has bestowed a marriage, she will naturally also attend, but she has never met the legendary eldest prince, so she will see it this time.

Among her, followed Yin Zhonglin's sedan chair in front, and walked for a full hour and a half before arriving at the Taimiao in front of the imperial mausoleum.She was led into it by someone, and when she saw a young woman with palace make-up smiling and helping her, she saluted.

"Sister-in-law, why should you be so polite?" On this occasion, the young woman was inconvenient to talk and laugh, but she was very friendly.Hearing her speak, one knew that this young woman must be Xiao Cheng's wife, Gu Jinghua, the niece of General Gu Zhao.When this woman was young, she once killed three assassins with one hand, and her name moved the capital.She looked to be about the same age as Shen Lingjiao, but she had a heroic spirit.

Although Shen Lingjiao has not yet left the cabinet at this time, Xiao Qian is older than Xiao Cheng, and Gu Jinghua calls her sister-in-law, which is not inappropriate, but Shen Lingjiao dare not answer frequently.

Gu Jinghua was the first among the seven princes to marry into the royal family, so he was naturally courteous, and he told everyone about the etiquette of the ceremony before taking his seat.

After a while, only hearing the drums outside, Shen Lingjiao followed the crowd into the front hall to salute, she took the opportunity to glance at Xiao Qian from afar.When she came, someone had already told the prince that the clothes were different in color, so she could recognize them at a glance.I saw that he and a young man beside him seemed to be talking about something, they didn't look back at all, their appearance couldn't be seen clearly, but they were healthy and healthy, and they really looked like a modest gentleman.

The young man beside him seemed to have noticed Shen Lingjiao's gaze, but deliberately moved a few steps to block her view.

Xiao Qian was chatting with Xiao Jue, when he suddenly saw that his expression was different, he stood in front of him, and asked: "Fifth Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"I heard people say that the reason why the father gave the marriage is because you threw all the portraits that were sent to the ground, and you put the portrait of Shen Lingjiao on the table. Is there such a thing?"

The boy who blocked Shen Lingjiao's sight just now was Xiao Jue.He had doubts in his heart for a long time. What the palace said was that Xiao Qian chose Shen Lingjiao and fell in love with him endlessly, which made his father make an exception and choose the merchant's daughter as his concubine.He refused to believe it no matter what, this time when he entered the temple, Xiao Qian knew that Shen Lingjiao was here, and he only cared about talking to himself, and never turned his head to look at other places. It was pure nonsense that he wanted to fall in love with him.Even so, he would not give up, he must ask clearly.

"Fifth brother, don't mess around, how can you ask these children about their love in this Taimiao?" Xiao Qian avoided answering.

Xiao Jue knew his temperament, and seeing his flickering expression, he asked again: "Brother, it's fine if you marry a woman casually, but if you only marry her because you like her, I will definitely not follow her."

"Yes, I once went out to play in the palace, and it was like old friends at first sight. I just felt that this woman was really destined for me, so I asked my father to marry me." Xiao Qian didn't want to explain any more, and he didn't want Xiao Jue to entangle himself any longer. Otherwise, if one day the paper on the window is pierced, the person in front of him may be lost forever.

"You!" Xiao Jue was only speaking out to provoke, but unexpectedly Xiao Qian admitted it frankly, and in a fit of rage, he walked away.

Xiao Qian was taken aback, and just about to say something, when he looked up, he saw a woman looking at him in the distance.He thought to himself, the Taimiao is such a quiet place, this woman can come in to worship, and he is not familiar with it, this woman must be Shen Lingjiao.

Thinking about it, he bowed slightly as a salute, and then turned around to avoid the crowded place.

Shen Lingjiao wanted to watch again, but there was a commotion of people, and then the audience fell silent, and the ceremony of worship had already begun.She was absent-minded, and saluted according to the appearance of everyone, and then everyone withdrew from the Taimiao.She was brought in front of Xiao Qian, and the two came out together.Who would have thought that she was still thinking about Qin Xin in her heart, she was not paying attention to her feet for a while, and it seemed that someone pushed her and almost tripped, but was helped by Xiao Qian.

This move made Xiao Jue, who was standing behind, rippling and angry.Xiao Liang had already noticed the movement in front of him, but when he saw Xiao Jue's unprovoked expression, although his expression was troubled, his hands were clenched into fists, as if he was emotional, he felt very strange.

He already saw that it was Xiao Jue who pushed the woman, but the woman was born with the eldest brother, it should be that Shen Lingjiao.Xiao Jue was so angry, could it be that he also fell in love with this girl, he was very puzzled.He was thinking about it, but was pulled by Xiao Cheng.

Everyone came out of the Taimiao one after another, Xiao Cheng pulled Xiao Liang into the same carriage, but let Gu Jinghua make a sedan chair and leave by himself.Xiao Liang knew that he must have found something, so he couldn't wait to get into the carriage and asked: "Second Brother, but what did you find?"

"The Huanong Pavilion, I checked it for a long time and I didn't see anything weird, but I didn't expect that the owner of the pavilion was named Tian." Xiao Cheng said slowly, as if he was not in a hurry.

"What about the surname Tian?" Xiao Liang only felt that there was something in Xiao Cheng's words.

"Do you know that among the many concubines of the emperor, whose mother's family name is Tian?"

Xiao Liang saw that the question was strange, so he tried his best to think of concubines and concubines, and there was indeed no one whose surname was Tian in his impression.He could only shake his head, really couldn't figure it out.

"Let me ask you, if you want to get acquainted with the fourth brother, do you know the origin of his grandmother?" Xiao Cheng asked.

"I've never heard anyone mention it, what happened to his grandmother?" Xiao Liang was very puzzled.

"His grandmother is a descendant of the Mohist school, and is proficient in organ formations. Our cemetery for worship, and even the tomb of the emperor's grandfather, were built by his grandmother's parents."

These words are not trivial, Xiao Liang turned pale immediately, he shook his head: "Could it be that this Huanong Pavilion has something to do with Fourth Brother's grandmother's house?"

"Exactly. Before I found out that the owner of the Huanong Pavilion was from the fourth brother's grandmother's family, if we were to talk about seniority, I'm afraid it was his cousin."

Xiao Liang knew that Hua Nong Pavilion had nothing to do with Xiao Jie's disappearance, but it was really unexpected that this matter involved Xiao Zheng.He sighed and said, "Second Brother, what else did you find?"

"I found out that the third younger brother was drinking at Huanong Pavilion that day, but suddenly left in a hurry. We also found a jade pendant among them, just take a look." Xiao Cheng took out a jade pendant carved with a tiger. Xiao Liang almost cried out when he saw the jade pendant on his head.

This is the jade pendant given to Xiao Jie by his father when he was young. One must know that Xiao Jie was proud of it since he was a child, and he never left his body for a moment. He disappeared in Luyue Peak. How could this jade pendant be in Hua Nong Pavilion?

After thinking about it, Xiao Liang could only say: "You can investigate this matter further, but don't draw attention to it."

Xiao Cheng nodded, both of them were worried, if Xiao Liang believed that it was related to Xiao Zheng at this time, he couldn't accept it no matter what.

Xiao Liang felt suffocated, lifted the curtain, and looked outside, but heard an exclamation, Xiao Jue in front of him jumped out of the carriage for some reason.

Everyone stopped, only to hear Concubine Ji Shu anxiously said: "Jue'er, you are a prince, how can you escape from the carriage like this, what should you do if you get injured?"

"Mother, it's rare for my son to leave the palace, so let me go back to the palace on my cousin's horse." Xiao Jue said, then went back to look for Ji Lan, jumped up, kicked off an attendant, and Ji Lan rides together.

Seeing him like this, Ji Lan couldn't help laughing, and the two turned into the wide avenue together.

Xiao Liang knew that they wanted to make a big circle, so that they would not delay the team's itinerary, and they could indulge themselves for a while, and he was envious in his heart.He saw Ji Lan doing somersaults on the horse again and again, causing everyone to applaud. He felt very sad, and lamented that he was not in good health, and that he would never be able to learn such superb riding skills again in this life.Thinking of the seven brothers, only he and Xiao Yunxiang have never learned horse riding and martial arts, can't help feeling very unhappy.

Sitting alone in the carriage, Xiao Qian naturally heard the movement behind, but he never came out to check.He was depressed, sighed secretly, and finally had nowhere to think.

When getting into the carriage just now, a young eunuch passed a note in his hand when he was helping him into the carriage. At this time, he opened it and saw that there was no word on it, but only two sentences: "I ask you how much you can worry about it." ? Jiangnan, Jiangbei, looking forward to your return." These two lines are separate poems, but they were also chanted by him and Xiao Jue at Banlin's residence that day. Could it be that someone already knows about him and Xiao Jue?

After thinking about it, he always felt incredible, and he couldn't figure out how to reveal this matter?He didn't know the eunuch just now, and he might have disappeared by now.No matter what, there is no evidence left about the matter between him and Xiao Jue, as long as they are cut off from him, even if the other party exposes it, there will be no evidence.

With a sudden change in his heart, he made up his mind that he would never meet Xiao Jue in private again.
