treacherous world

In Kaifeng Mansion, Bao Yanzheng was bored, lying on the table to read the records about Wumang Fengshui, this book was found in the Library Pavilion, his father's books were many and miscellaneous, some of them were fragments, it seemed particularly strenuous.

Pang Yu has been dreaming of duck necks these past few nights. He has been sick and always touches his neck when he has nothing to do.

Not long after, Bao Fu and Bai Fu ran in. Bai Fu looked for Zhan Zhao, but Bao Yan said that he had followed Zhao Pu into the palace, so Bai Fu became anxious and squatted at the door to wait for Bai Yutang.

The yamen servants at the gate of Kaifeng Mansion were all happy, and asked him, "Bai Fu, why are you squatting at the gate of the yamen? Be careful that Lord Bao sees you and slaps you."

Bai Fuke was also in a hurry. The last time Bai Yutang was arrested, although the reason for that time was quite special, but his young master was cold and soft-hearted, and he didn't care about some things. I do not know?

In the yard, Bao Yan asked Xiao Bao Fu what happened, and Bao Fu told the story.

Pang Yu was dubious when he heard this, "Is it true? You feel so good?"

Bao Yan nodded, and said, "He is a little suspicious, but sometimes he can be serious, so we should be more careful."

……

Seeing that it was almost evening, Zhan Zhao had just returned to the gate of Kaifeng Mansion when he saw Bai Yutang coming back from the other side of the street, with a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl behind him.Qingqingxiuxiu is very good-looking, trotting behind.

Zhao Pu looked at Zhi Le, and asked Zhan Zhao, "Is Bai Yutang already popular to this extent? If you go out for a walk, women will follow you back?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gongsun pinched him hard, "What are you talking about, you are a child!"

Zhao Pu curled his lips, rubbed his arms pitifully and looked at Gongsun, "Dear, why are you pinching me for another man? He won't obey."

Zhao Pu's slobbering problem happened again. On the main road, a tall man with a domineering face said "I don't want to obey", which made the people around him tremble with chills.

Seeing that Bai Yutang had returned, Bai Fu also heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that he couldn't say anything in front of Bai Yutang, so he took a moment to tell Zhan Zhao about it secretly!

Zhan Zhao also saw Luo Yuan, so he asked what was going on, and Bai Yutang walked in, explaining why Lu Tiexin asked him to go.

After hearing this, Zhan Zhao sneered, "He, Lu Tiexin, is famous for his benevolence and morality in the Jianghu, so why is he a hypocrite!" As he said, he leaned over and patted Luo Yuan on the head, "It's okay, Mr. Bao will be back later, I'll take you to explain the matter again, if your father really died in vain, then we will definitely seek justice for you. Also, we will also pursue those servants who robbed your family property."

Luo Yuan shook her head, "No, I let my uncles take their things and leave. I have no money to give them. They still have to support their families. I won't drag them down."

Everyone was stunned, and Zhao Pu stroked his chin—well, Luo Qingshan can teach such a girl, so it can be seen that he must be a righteous man with strong bones, but it is a pity that he made friends carelessly and did not entrust the girl to the right person.

Bao Fujian was a young girl who was about the same age, and Mei Zizi took someone to live first, and enthusiastically helped to pack things.

Gongsun happily borrowed Liu Heling from Luo Yuan to watch.Luo Yuan still finds it interesting, and others avoid it for fear of not being able to make it. Why does this scholar still like to read it so much?Naturally take it out to him.

Gongsun held the gilt crane feather and looked at it again and again, amazed, "It's true, alas, this is a treasure!"

"Why is there red at the tail?" Zhan Zhao wondered, "Is it really blood?"

"Impossible, impossible." Gongsun waved his hand, "Gold, silver and jade wares don't change color when touched by blood! This is another reason!"

"What reason?" Everyone was puzzled.

Gongsun smiled, "Well, I think there may be some other things mixed into the gilt gold, such as iron or copper, which will rust and turn red, thus forming such a shape! Don't you think Is that red peacock feather beautiful?"

"What about that ominous curse?" Zhao Pu asked.

"It's okay, don't be afraid!" Gongsun said with a smile, "Let's secretly put this thing under Mr. Bao's pillow, let him sleep on it for a night, and no evil will be eliminated!"

Everyone looked at Gongsun with admiration. Bao Zheng, who had just arrived at the gate of the mansion, sneezed and entered the door rubbing his nose.

Everyone didn't eat dinner, because they were going to enter the palace soon, the emperor treated guests to dinner, and listened to Mrs. Luo Xin playing the piano.

Bai Yutang didn't want to go, but Zhan Zhao knew that he didn't care about eating state banquets. When Bao Zheng heard that Bai Yutang wouldn't go, he quietly pulled him away and whispered something to him.

Bai Yutang was puzzled when he heard that, "I'm going?"

"Yeah!" Bao Zheng nodded, "The emperor told you to help.

Bai Yutang is helpless, why are there so many people asking for his help recently, why can't he look good and talk?

Seeing that Bai Yutang wasn't going, Zhan Zhao felt a little bored, so what's the point of going alone?Thinking about it again, why do you feel that you are so inseparable, not long after!

Bao Yan didn't want to go either, he had some complaints about Zhao Zhen at the moment, and felt that he was not a good emperor!But Bao Zheng gave him a hard look, and finally had no choice but to go along honestly.

Soon... when it was time to hold the lanterns, everyone changed their clothes and rushed to the palace.

Before going out, Zhan Zhao suddenly remembered that Bai Yutang hadn't eaten yet, so he went over and asked him, "Then what are you having for dinner?"

Bai Yutang was stunned for a moment, then suppressed a smile and said, "Cat, don't worry, there is a lady in the kitchen, and there is a restaurant outside, I will try my best not to starve to death, and wait for you to come back!"

After Zhan Zhao heard it, he kicked it, and Bai Yutang dodged it, only to see the cat leave angrily, smiling and shaking his head on the spot.

……

Zhao Zhen invited too many people for a banquet today, almost all the civil and military ministers from the whole court went.Zhan Zhao knew the nearby tables, Eight Kings, Bao Zheng, Grand Master, Prime Minister Wang, Zhao Pu's family, etc.

A little farther away are officials from other places, many of whom Zhan Zhao doesn't know, but they all have a common characteristic that they all have beautiful girls, in all styles.

Zhan Zhao suddenly remembered that Bai Yutang saw a picture of ancient emperors and concubines that day, and uttered a classic sentence, "Don't think that having the Sangong and Six Courtyards is a blessing. sky."

His words made Bao Zheng laugh for three days.

Zhan Zhao sat beside Bao Zheng, listening to Bao Zheng and Pang Ji arguing as usual, Bao Yan and Pang Yu gossip about the case, and felt that he had drunk too much, shook his head, and saw Next to him is Gongsun.

"Where's Zhao Pu?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Gongsun nunuzui." Zhan Zhao looked in the direction he indicated, and saw in the distance, Zhao Pu was chatting passionately with a man dressed as a foreigner.Immediately remembered that this might be his alien brother Temuri.And a black and chubby girl next to Temuri caught Zhan Zhao's attention, this girl looked so cute, she was so angry.

Gongsun also saw him laughing, so he whispered, "That's Temuyan. According to Zhao Pu, he watched her grow up. She is brave and invincible. Being able to subdue tigers, fight jackals at the age of seven, and being able to eat a whole pot of rice in one meal, is powerful enough to lift mountains and surpass the world."

Zhan Zhao opened his mouth wide.

"She has led troops to defeat hundreds of thousands of Liao soldiers. Zhao Pu said that she is definitely a rare general or a lucky star, just like the reincarnated demon king Chen Yaojin who was reincarnated as a daughter." Gongsun continued, "Zhao Pu that day Take her to see the emperor, the emperor likes her so much, he accepted her as a righteous sister."

Zhan Zhao was very surprised, so powerful? !

All the ministers sat and greeted each other. Now there is no war and the weather is smooth, so there is nothing to worry about, and everyone is happy.

But everyone was very happy, except the Queen Mother kept a straight face.She was sitting on Zhao Zhen's right hand side, and on Zhao Zhen's left hand side were Concubine Pang, the fourth son and Xiao Liang.

Concubine Pang was holding Xiangxiang, Xiaoliang was holding a bowl with a bowl of fruit puree in it, and fourth son was holding a small silver spoon to feed Xiangxiang bit by bit.

At this time, I heard bursts of piano sound coming from outside... It was melodious and very pleasant.

All the ministers listened and were intoxicated by the sound of the piano, even Xiao Xiangxiang laughed happily.

Gongsun is an expert, and he nodded when he heard the sound of the qin, "Yes, it's a good qin!"

Zhan Zhao also nodded, "It seems to sound better than others, what's the point? Is it because of the good technique?"

Gongsun shook his head lightly, "Of course the technique is very important, but the qin is even more important. The main thing is to see if the pitch is accurate. This is probably an ancient qin, and it is a very ancient qin handed down from generation to generation!"

Zhan Zhao nodded lightly, that's why.

Listening to the sound of the piano and the way it was played, Bao Yan judged that Mrs. Luo Xin was playing. Compared to that day, her heart was much calmer, so she dropped her fingers neatly, and the sound of the piano was graceful.

All the ministers were appreciative and intoxicated, but the Empress Dowager's face was unkind, and the Grand Master was also quite anxious.

Originally Mrs. Luo Xin wanted to play in the courtyard, but the Empress Dowager firmly refused, saying that she was not here to play the piano, where is there a musician sitting in front of the emperor?outrageous!

So finally had to give up.

At the end of the song, some of the officials, who had eyesight and heard the rumors, all applauded.

Zhao Zhen nodded with satisfaction after listening to it, and asked the ministers, "Dear dears, since today is the Qin Appreciation Conference, let's only talk about love and moon, regardless of political affairs, what do you think of this song?"

The chief musician of the court was an old man surnamed Shen. Musician Shen stood up and said, "The timbre is very accurate, and the technique is graceful! It can be said that he plays the piano well!"

Zhao Zhen nodded with a smile, "This is Zhang Guqin. I found it when I asked someone to tidy up the yard that day. It was a good piece of Qin. It was placed in an ebony box and sank on the ground of the lotus pond. Does anyone know its origin?"

As soon as Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he heard a few "bang bang" sounds. Several old ministers lost their cups and dropped them on the coffee table. They hurriedly got up to apologize and wiped them with their sleeves.

Zhao Zhen looked at the queen mother beside him.

The Empress Dowager entered the palace relatively late, and has been living among the people for a long time, so she has long forgotten about the affairs of the palace. Hearing what Zhao Zhen said, she was also curious, and asked, "Is there a qin in the lotus pond?"

"Yeah!" Zhao Zhen nodded, "That day, the former emperor entrusted me with a dream, saying that the west courtyard was too dirty and old, and needed to be cleaned, especially the lotus pond. I found this piano after his death."

"Your Majesty." At this time, old minister Weng Guogong Cai Qi said, "That place used to be a cold palace, and it has been abandoned for many years. Back then, there lived a Qin Ji who was very good at playing the piano. She may have left it behind."

"Oh?" Zhao Zhen smiled and asked Cai Qi, "Does Weng Guogong know the details?"

"Hehe." Weng Guogong smiled, "The old minister is not very clear, but I have heard people say it."

"Ugh."

Zhao Zhen still wanted to ask, but the queen mother persuaded him, "Your Majesty, don't ask about this kind of palace matter." The queen mother knew that the emperor was naturally romantic, so she probably hid Yingying and Yanyan in it, and left the piano for Zhao Zhen to ask. Found.

Zhao Zhen nodded, at this time, another song started again.

Zhan Zhao didn't like this kind of tinkling stuff very much, he found it boring, so Bao Zheng whispered to him, "Bai Yutang has also come in, and he's working on things later. It's turned into a nostalgia convention."

Zhan Zhao's heart moved, he smiled and moved back, Bao Zheng disappeared in the blink of an eye, Bao Zheng shook his head, and ran faster than a rabbit!

Bao Yan also felt bored, and asked Bao Zheng, "Father, can I go too?"

On Bao Zheng's dark face, the effect of rolling his eyes was particularly good. He rolled his eyes, opened his mouth and bared a mouthful of white teeth, "Sit still and don't move!"

Bao Yan sulked his face, thinking that it's no wonder those prisoners are so afraid of his father, the effect at night is the same as Zhong Kui, the celestial master who catches ghosts!He was in a daze when he suddenly saw a white shadow in the distance...

"what!"

Bao Yan couldn't hold back his surprise, and his voice became a little louder. Pang Yu, who was gnawing on a crab, almost swallowed the crab shell in his mouth, and the grand master's beard fell into the soup.

But these are nothing, when she heard "Wow!", Xiangxiang was frightened and cried.

All the ministers cheered and turned to look at Bao Yan.

Bao Yan opened his mouth, while Bao Zheng was also impatient, thinking that you are really my son?Why are you so careless? This is shocking!

After thinking about it, he quickly stood up, pulled Bao Yan to get up, and apologized to the emperor, saying that Bao Yan didn't know the rules, and shocked the holy car.

Xiangxiang was frightened, and Concubine Pang coaxed her, and she stared at the round face of the little four again and laughed, opening her mouth to eat.

Zhao Zhen was thinking about it, and Bao Yan was taken aback. Turning his face to look, he was stunned for a long time, and asked Bao Zheng, "Bao Qing, who do you think he is?"

All the ministers were also dumbfounded.

Bao Zheng was embarrassed, "Oh...this is the dog Bao Yan."

"Pfft..." Many ministers burst out laughing, and many others held back their laughter and looked at it carefully, their faces full of disbelief.

"Hey!" The queen mother saw some smiles, and waved to Bao Yan, "Bao Qing, why are you hiding from others? I thought it was Mr. Gongsun's younger brother just now. Come, come and show the Ai family." look."

All the ministers also nodded together, they all found it incredible, and seriously thought——Bao Yan's mother is definitely a white beauty!

Bao Zheng pushed Bao Yan, who was still in a daze, and signaled, "The Queen Mother is calling you!"

Bao Yan hurried over and saluted the Queen Mother, his heart was still pounding.

Seeing that he was out of his mind, Zhao Zhen asked him to sit beside him and let the officials continue to chat.

Zhao Zhen asked Bao Yan a few questions casually, and found that Bao Yan's answers were clear and well-informed, and the key was that his temper was very similar to Bao Zheng's, so he appreciated it very much.

Bao Yan finally calmed down. Just as he was about to leave, Zhao Zhen suddenly asked him in a very low voice, "What did you see? You're so scared."

Bao Yan was taken aback for a moment, and just about to shake his head, Zhao Zhen said in a low voice, "I saw it too, and I'm already gone."

Bao Yan felt the cold wind blowing from the back of his neck—yes, the moment he raised his head, he saw a person squatting on the rockery in the distance, none other than Fifth Sister!

Bao Yan suddenly had an idea, raised his head and asked Zhao Zhen, "Does the emperor know about Wufen Village?"

Zhao Zhen was taken aback for a moment, and shook his head slightly.

"What about Shanyin County?"

Zhao Zhen smiled, lightly patted Bao Yan on the shoulder, and signaled Chen Banban to bring him some delicious food, and take him back to cook with Bao Zheng.He also asked Bao Zheng to come to the palace to sit with the Queen Mother when he had time, as long as the Queen Mother was from the Bao family, she would like it!

Bao Yan went back, sat still in a daze, looked up again, the fifth sister was gone, his heart was filled with the sound of drums, and the guards were tight, how could someone come in and no one noticed?Could it be a ghost...

Gongsun leaned over and asked Zhao Pu beside him, "Oh!"

Zhao Pu drank the wine and said to him calmly, "Since the emperor pretended not to see it, then we didn't see it either, and indeed it passed by in a flash."

Gongsun frowned, wondering how did this "female ghost" get into the palace?

……

At this time, Ziying Xiong, who was guarding the well in Yuehe Palace, hugged Zheying, "Just now the female ghost climbed up from the well, right? Right!"

Zhe Ying couldn't laugh or cry, no matter what he couldn't pull Zi Ying down, "That's not a female ghost!"

"obviously it is!"

"What kind of well did the female ghost climb, she just floated over here!"

"Yes..." Ziying just let go a little, and saw a white shadow fluttering around her.

"Ah!" Ziying opened her mouth, and Zheying covered his mouth, but he still went "wuwuwu" for a long time before he could see clearly that standing beside him was Bai Yutang, who was also taken aback by him.

Bai Yutang looked at the two "entangled" people in front of him with a puzzled expression, wondering if he came at the wrong time?

Just now Bao Zheng told him that Zhao Zhen asked him to walk around the palace. Recently, there are "ghosts" haunting the palace. If you encounter them, just follow her to see what she needs.

Bai Yutang immediately understood, that is to say, Zhao Zhen asked him to follow the female ghost to see where she came from?

Just as he was about to ask, Zhan Zhao at the side also dropped down with a "huh", motioning for everyone to bow their heads!

Immediately lying on the roof, it didn't take long to see the female ghost rushing back and jumping into the dry well!

Just as Bai Yutang wanted to follow, Zhan Zhao pulled him back, and when he turned around, he stuffed a crab roe bun into his mouth.

Bai Yutang froze for a moment, Zhan Zhao looked at him with a smile.

The two sides looked at each other for a while, Zhan Zhao stuffed him another one, and Bai Yutang continued to open his mouth...

Zhe Ying and Zi Ying watched from the side, wanting to remind them—the ghost is about to run away!

After eating the crab roe buns, Zhan Zhao pointed to the distance, "Near the duck neck shop!" Saying that, he was about to fly.

Bai Yutang gave him a hand, "Oh, you won't..."

Before finishing the question, Zhan Zhao pinched his nose and asked, "What will happen?"

Bai Yutang stopped talking, pinching his nose should prevent him from sneezing, right?And no one fried chili peppers at night, it might be better!Together with Zhan Zhao, he went after that female ghost.

Ziying and Zheying looked at each other, Ziying continued to hug, "I want to eat steamed buns too!"

Zhe Ying looked up at the sky, "Then you stay, and I'll take it to the imperial kitchen for you."

"Hey!" Ziying looked around, he didn't stay here alone, what should I do if a female ghost creeps out again in a while?

……

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang quickly felt the side of the well along the way, and as soon as they landed on the roof, Zhan Zhao sneezed.

Bai Yutang looked at him, Zhan Zhao quickly pinched his nose.

After a while, I only saw movement in the well.

The two hurriedly lay down on the roof to hide, and after a while, they saw a woman in white climbing up and running forward quickly.Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang exchanged glances, followed quietly.
