Your Majesty, she doesn't want to flip the brand

Zhou Xingzhi had a good life in Yang's mansion, the only inconvenience was that she had to sleep separately from Ye Ningxuan.After all, Yang Bai'an is still Zhou Xingming's concubine in name, if he sleeps with Ye Ningxuan in front of his father-in-law, although Yang Xu has no right to say anything, but in the eyes of outsiders, Yang Bai'an will feel left out.

Here Zhou Xingzhi refrained from sleeping with Ye Ningxuan in order to save face for his cousin.Yang Bai'an's side was different, she warmly invited Liu Lanze to visit her boudoir, and then went to sleep with the excuse of sisterly affection.

"Xingzhi, although I don't know if I'm overthinking it, but I think..." Ye Ningxuan hesitated, "The relationship between Lan Ze and cousin Bai'an seems to be too close."

Zhou Xingzhi blinked, "You mean they are like sisters? They are very close?"

Ye Ningxuan thought for a while, recalled the details of the relationship between the two, and then shook her head, "I think the way they get along is very similar to the way we get along."

"Huh?" Zhou Xingzhi raised his eyebrows, and tried hard to think about it. After thinking of the two of them riding horses and feeding each other, he couldn't help but nodded, "It seems a little bit, but in terms of their identity, they should all be my concubines. .”

Zhou Xingzhi did notice that the interaction between the two was relatively close, but she still felt that in the ancient environment, the possibility of two concubines walking together was relatively small.After all, they not only represent herself, but from the moment she enters the palace, they are carrying the mission of the family.If something really happened between the two, it should be a big blow to the two families.

If the emperor was not himself and their affairs were exposed again, it would be the result of death.

Ye Ningxuan also understands this truth, but she thinks deeper than Zhou Xingzhi, "That's true, but Xingzhi have you forgotten, you prefer them to be useful talents than concubines."

"The two of them probably know about Tsing Yi. If they can help you in other ways, you may turn a blind eye to their previous relationship." Ye Ningxuan said, "They should think so of."

Zhou Xingzhi touched his chin, "That's the truth, but if the two of them are really good, even if they don't help me in other ways, I will turn a blind eye. I can't give them anything Emotional sustenance, they pinned each other just solved."

After hearing Zhou Xingzhi's words, Ye Ningxuan also smiled, "Indeed, if I guessed correctly, the two of them should have been intentionally intimate and planned to test your attitude."

Zhou Xingzhi and Ye Ningxuan's guesses were mostly correct, but it was not Liu Lanze and Yang Bai'an who tested Zhou Xingzhi's attitude, but Liu Lanze alone.Yang Bai'an's thoughts are not that complicated, she is just happy that she can be with Liu Lanze in front of her.

Because she was sitting in a carriage with the logo of the Yang family, she didn't meet anyone who was short-sighted when traveling in Hejian.Under the introduction and leadership of Yang Bai'an, the game was very comfortable.

On the fourth day in Hejian, it snowed heavily again, and it didn't stop from the early morning until the dawn of the sky.When Zhou Xingzhi got up from the bed, there was a thick layer of snow outside the window, and the early riser was cleaning the snow on the path with a broom.

"Ning Xuan, it's snowing again." Zhou Xingzhi stretched out his hand, watching the snowflakes fall on his palm one by one, and then slowly melted into water droplets due to the temperature.

Ye Ningxuan hummed, and stretched out her hand like Zhou Xingzhi said, "Auspicious snow heralds a good year, if it snows, the crops in those fields will not be damaged by freezing."

"I remember that Tsing Yi didn't tinker with some kind of greenhouse. As long as the temperature is right, even if it snows outside, you can still grow crops in spring and autumn." Zhou Xingzhi said, "Does Ning Xuan think it is necessary to promote it?"

After the drops of water in her hands increased, Ye Ningxuan withdrew her hand and pulled Zhou Xingzhi's hand back by the way.

"Most people are still tinkering with the grain in the fields now, so they probably don't have time to tinker with it." Ye Ningxuan said, and pulled Zhou Xingzhi's hand over, letting her palm stick to Mrs. Tang in her hand, "But the method is possible. If the professor goes out, it will be difficult to make a large-scale greenhouse, but it shouldn’t be a problem to grow some vegetables that you like to eat.”

"Okay, I'll mention it when the court meeting is held, and let the Ministry of Industry sort out the main points and announce it at that time." After feeling the temperature of his palm, Zhou Xingzhi turned his hand around and clasped Ye Ningxuan's hand, " At that time, I will say that Tsing Yi figured out the method, and take the opportunity to let her take a false job as a member of the Ministry of Industry, what do you think?"

Ye Ningxuan was a little surprised when she heard this, "Are you going to let Tsing Yi work in the Ministry of Industry?"

"It's not counted as a job, it's just a name. After all, she was the one who tinkered with the greenhouse. If the Ministry of Industry wants to write a simple production process, it should also ask Tsing Yi for advice." Zhou Xingzhi said, "Yu Qingyu Reasonable, it is very reasonable for Tsing Yi to have the official title of Yuanwailang."

"I think that officials should not let go so easily, after all, Tsing Yi is a woman." Ye Ningxuan's view is not as optimistic as Zhou Xingzhi's. In the current world, women are always bound by rules, and there has never been a woman who is an official. precedent.

"So what, I'm the emperor, and I can say whatever I say." Zhou Xingzhi held Ye Ningxuan's hand even harder, "Ningxuan, sometimes you don't need to reason with those courtiers, because no matter what you say, they can You can pick out the thorns."

"At that time, I will tell them this matter directly instead of discussing it with them." Zhou Xingzhi said, "So you don't have to worry about whether they will let go or not. Their attitude will not affect my decision."

After hearing Zhou Xingzhi's words, Ye Ningxuan was at a loss for a moment, "But if this is the case, the historian should record you..."

"Then let them record it. As an emperor, I only want to have a clear conscience, not those pedantic old scholars." Zhou Xingzhi snorted disdainfully as he spoke, "If they fight against me, I will punish them." Their salaries are punished until they shut up."

Ye Ningxuan couldn't help laughing when she heard it, "Your idea is not bad." Although it seems that the salary is only a loss of some money, it is a big loss of face, and it is most suitable for dealing with those who are full of etiquette.

"Now there are almost no people in the court who favor Prince Jia. As long as we maintain the status quo and resolve the border issues, Prince Jia will not be able to make any waves." Zhou Xingzhi said.

"Is there any news on the border recently?" Ye Ningxuan turned the topic a little bit, "Liao first went to investigate for so long, have you got any results?"

"There should be results. It's time-consuming to go back and forth, and now that we have left the capital, the transmission of letters will be even slower." Zhou Xingzhi sighed and stopped immediately, "We have agreed , Don’t talk about official business when we come out to play, let’s think about this kind of thing when we return to the capital.”

Ye Ningxuan smiled helplessly, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

The snow in Hejian didn't stop until around noon. As soon as the sky cleared, the streets outside became lively, and many people went out to enjoy the snow scene.

"There are a lot of people in the lower reaches of the lake, why don't we avoid the crowds and go up the mountain to have a look. I remember that there is a famous Taoist temple on Yingqing Mountain, and there is a famous Taoist leader in it." Yang Bai'an couldn't help but grab I picked up a handful of unmelted snow, rolled it up in my hand, and finally turned into a small snowball the size of a thumb.

"Is that mountain high?" Ye Ningxuan asked, "If it snowed just now, the mountain road should be very slippery."

"It doesn't matter. There were many tourists in Yingqing Mountain in the past, so we specially built a road to get out. When the time comes, we can take a carriage to the mountainside. After getting off the carriage, we can walk for about a quarter of an hour to reach the Taoist temple." Yang Bai'an said, she The little snowball in his hand arrived at Liu Lanze's hands at some point.

"If my cousin and sister-in-law plan to go, it's best to leave now, so that there's still time to come back for dinner." Yang Bai'an added.

Ye Ningxuan took the little interaction between the two into his eyes, and said with a smile, "I think Bai'an's proposal is not bad, why not go to Yingqing Mountain, there should be many scenery to enjoy along the way."

"Ning Xuan has no objection, so I have no objection." Zhou Xingzhi followed up.

"Okay, then I'll ask the butler to prepare some things, and we're leaving now!" Yang Bai'an showed a big smile, and his voice was very excited.

Yingqing Mountain is still some distance away from Yang's Mansion, after discussing, the four of them did not intend to take a carriage, each chose a horse, and rode directly to the mountainside.

After the snow stopped, the sky began to clear up little by little. When we walked halfway, the sun had completely got rid of the large clouds, allowing its own light to shine on Zhou Xingzhi and his party without a trace of cover.

"The sun is also out. It seems that God supports us on the mountain." Yang Bai'an's riding skills are the worst among the four, so let her take the lead, and the team will advance as fast as she is.

"The weather has cleared up, and there are more people going up the mountain." Liu Lanze followed Yang Bai'an, only half a horse's distance behind her, "Let's go faster, otherwise there will be more people in the Taoist temple. "

Yang Bai'an rubbed his nose in embarrassment, "I also want to go faster, but my riding skills are limited. If I go faster, I'm worried that I won't be able to control the horse."

"It's simple, I will ride a horse with you." Liu Lanze continued this sentence very smoothly.

"Can you?" Yang Bai'an's eyes lit up.

Liu Lanze didn't respond, but looked at Zhou Xingzhi to ask her opinion.

Zhou Xingzhi couldn't help but clicked his tongue in his heart, Liu Lanze was worthy of being taught by the aristocratic family, this link is linked together, and he didn't forget to test his own attitude while getting close to Yang Bai'an.

"Since my cousin's riding skills are not good, you can ride a horse together, and you can get to the Taoist temple sooner." Zhou Xingzhi now knows the relationship between the two of them, and he will not do the thing of beating mandarin ducks.

"Okay." Liu Lanze got off her horse neatly, and walked to Yang Bai'an's side in two or three steps, holding the rein with one hand and stepping on the stirrup with one foot, and got on the horse with a single breath, and sat down firmly Behind Yang Bai'an.

"Cousin, we're going to speed up." Yang Bai'an relaxed into Liu Lanze's arms, and smiled at Zhou Xingzhi.

Zhou Xingzhi raised his eyebrows. At this moment, he had the idea of ​​getting off the horse and riding with Ye Ningxuan, but he quickly stopped, "Okay, the road is a bit slippery, just be careful."

Liu Lanze led Yang Bai'an in the lead, Zhou Xingzhi and Ye Ningxuan followed side by side.After speeding up, after about two quarters of an hour, we reached the mountainside.

"Going up is a series of steps, and it's inconvenient to ride a horse." Yang Bai'an got off the horse with Liu Lanze's support, and couldn't help rubbing his little face while talking.The speed of riding the horse just now was a little fast, and she also blew a lot of wind.

"Then go up on foot, leave two people here to watch the horse, and the others follow us." Zhou Xingzhi couldn't help but rubbed his nose after getting off the horse, as if he had been blown unconscious by the northwest wind.

"Don't use too much force, the temperature will return slowly." Ye Ningxuan pulled Zhou Xingzhi's hand down, "If you mess around, it's easy to hurt your nose."

"Okay, then breathe out for me, and I won't be cold anymore." Zhou Xingzhi lowered his head and leaned his head in front of Ye Ningxuan.

Ye Ningxuan couldn't help but glared at Zhou Xingzhi, and then kissed the tip of Zhou Xingzhi's nose to save face, "Is this all right?"

"Huh? What's the matter with me? I didn't feel anything just now." Zhou Xingzhi blinked innocently, relying on the wide brim of his cloak, he began to act recklessly.

Ye Ningxuan exhaled into Zhou Xingzhi's nose, then kissed it again, and stayed on it for half a breath before moving away, "Do you feel it now?"

The corners of Zhou Xingzhi's mouth raised an arc, she did not answer Ye Ningxuan's words, but followed her example and repeated the previous actions.

Regarding the interaction between Zhou Xingzhi and Zhou Xingzhi, Liu Lanze and Yang Bai'anquan thought that there was something wrong with their eyes and they couldn't see anything.After the two dawdled for a while, they began to step on the steps and hold hands to climb up step by step.

After climbing up a few steps, Zhou Xingzhi felt that her body was getting hot. When she could see the Taoist temple soon, her whole body was already warm. If she was exercising, she might be sweating.

"Huh, it's finally here." After climbing up the mountain with all his might, Yang Bai'an couldn't help leaning against a tree trunk on one side, "I wasn't so tired when I was climbing the mountain before."

"It means that you have neglected training during this time. When you get back, take time out with me every day to learn horse stance." Liu Lanze said, taking out a clean cotton handkerchief to wipe the small beads of sweat from Yang Bai'an's forehead.

"Lan Ze is right, even if I have to review so many memorials every day, Ning Xuan and I will take time out to practice martial arts." Zhou Xingzhi didn't sweat, but his breath was a little messy, "Otherwise, you little You can't do anything after you leave the palace."

"Cousin, I'm just not good at physical work. When I'm in the palace, I always use my brain." Yang Bai'an didn't understand Zhou Xingzhi's subtext, and when he recovered, he pulled Liu Lanze to stand up straight.

"You only need to use your brain in the palace, but you need both mental and physical strength in other places." Zhou Xingzhi said as he glanced at Liu Lanze, "Lanze, do you think what I said makes sense?"

Liu Lanze held Yang Bai'an's hand a little harder, "It makes sense, after Bai'an and I go back, we will exercise well and make up for our shortcomings in physical strength."

As a concubine, she can stay in the palace for the rest of her life. In this case, she really doesn't need much physical strength.But if you want to make some achievements after leaving the palace, in addition to the indispensable brain power, your body is also a very important capital.

"It's so good." Seeing that Liu Lanze understood what he meant, Zhou Xingzhi didn't say much. When the time comes, Liu Lanze and Yang Bai'an will definitely be released from the palace. Bound by palace walls.

The master of the Taoist temple is an old Taoist priest with a long beard. When he saw Zhou Xingzhi and his party coming, he briefly observed their faces. After a brief surprise, the expression on his face returned to calm.

"Master Daoist, we heard that your fortune-telling is very good. I don't know if it's convenient for Fang to help us count it." After burning incense in front of San Qingxiang, Yang Bai'an couldn't help asking.

The viewer stroked his beard, "I don't know what you want, girl?"

Yang Bai'an glanced at the people present from the corner of his eye, "Let me do the math first, how will my luck be in the next five years, and whether my wishes will come true."

The viewer nodded, "Girl, write any word on it."

"Can any word be used?" Yang Bai'an asked.

"It's all right." The temple master said.

Yang Bai'an picked up the brush and dipped it in the ink. After hesitating for a moment, he wrote the word "An" on the blank rice paper.

The temple master picked up the writing written by Yang Bai'an, looked at it carefully, and threw it into the brazier on the side. The paper was quickly swallowed by the rising flames.

"Master Dao, how is my luck? Is it bad?" Yang Bai'an asked nervously, "Can you change your fate or something?"

The viewer stroked his beard, "Miss, do you think this fire is hot?"

"Huh?" Yang Bai'an was stunned for a moment, "It's very hot, and the flames rushed up immediately."

"The girl's luck is also the same, she will be very prosperous, and she will soon start to have good luck." The host explained, "But the girl should pay attention, some things may be a little simple at the beginning, but you must stick to the principle Heart and original intention, as long as you give, time will not treat you badly."

"Okay, thank you Daoist for clarifying the confusion." Yang Bai'an actually just understood the general idea, but it doesn't matter, as long as she has good luck in the future, that's enough.

After Yang Bai'an got a satisfactory answer, Liu Lanze came over. She didn't ask any more questions, and directly wrote a word on the rice paper, "I want to ask about my future, please ask the priest to explain."

The temple master stroked his beard, obviously it was a very simple one word, but he gave the answer after observing for a long time, "If the girl can go straight ahead, then the future will be smooth sailing."

Go straight ahead, smooth sailing?Liu Lanze repeated it several times in her heart, and then bowed her hands, "Thank you, Daoist, for clarifying the confusion."

Zhou Xingzhi didn't really believe in divination, so he squeezed Ye Ningxuan's hand and asked her in a low voice, "Are you going to do the math?"

"It's all here, so it doesn't matter if you do the math." Ye Ningxuan let go of Zhou Xingzhi's hand, took a step forward and walked in front of the temple master, and directly wrote the word "Tian", "I also ask about the future."

This time, the temple master was silent for a longer time. He closed his eyes and counted for a quarter of an hour before opening them, "This girl is beyond words. If she wants to, she can become... the most honorable and powerful person." .”

After hearing the viewer's comment, most of the people present gasped, and couldn't help but cast their eyes on Zhou Xingzhi.

This Taoist is too daring to say, does he know who he is telling fortunes for, and does he know that the most honorable person in the world is here.After hearing these words, His Majesty will become unwarrantedly wary of the empress.

"Then what if I don't want to?" Ye Ningxuan asked.

The viewer smiled, not feeling at all that he said something wrong, "That girl is one of the most honorable people."

The author has something to say: rub hands
