Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

Xihuamen,

On the side outside the palace gate,

The corners of Princess Pingning's lips were slightly raised, and she nodded gracefully with a standard smile on her face.

The person Princess Pingning nodded to was Rong Feiyan, who was following behind Fuchang Hou and his wife and said goodbye to her with a blessing.

Afterwards, after smiling and nodding with other noble ladies he knew in the capital, the smile on Princess Pingning's face gradually dissipated, and the corners of her mouth pursed downwards.

After looking back, Princess Pingning slowly stopped and waited for Duke Qi.

At this time, Qi Guogong's laughter came: "Haha! Brother Sha, walk slowly, we will talk about it when we have time!"

"You must bring your nephew with you then."

"Definitely!"

After speaking, Qi Guogong walked to Princess Pingning and said with a smile: "Let's go."

As he walked, he looked sideways at Princess Pingning's expression and asked, "What's wrong? Are you so unhappy? Is it because I talked to the Marquis of Zhongshan?"

Princess Pingning glanced sideways at Qi Guogong, raised her eyebrows, and said in a low voice: "There is no outstanding descendant of this generation of the Sha family. Why is the Duke reminiscing with his family? Are you taking Heng'er with you? Want Heng'er?" Do you want to follow his example and get into trouble all day long?”

"How do you say this! There are no children from the Sha family."

After half a sentence, Qi Guogong did not continue: The chaos that almost caused a catastrophe outside the Shenbao Temple was caused by the children of the Sha family.

"Okay, okay, I'll go to the banquet then, just don't take Heng'er with me."

"Um!"

"I just saw you chatting happily with Madam Fuchang Hou from behind. What did you say?"

Princess Pingning shook her head in disgust: "Hi! It's nothing!"

Looking at the Rong family in front, Qi Guogong smiled and whispered: "I think Miss Feiyan of the Rong family is good! She looks a bit like Concubine Rong in appearance and character. If she is like our Heng'er"

"What are you talking about!?"

Princess Pingning stopped, looked around, and glared at Duke Qi:

"Marriage with the Rong family? How can the Rong family help Heng'er in the future? No one in the family can say anything!"

"It's not like you don't know how Concubine Rong entered the palace!"

Duke Qi put away his smile.

Concubine Rong's ancestor was a mason. During a big celebration like today, Concubine Rong was selected to join the dance team and was spotted by the emperor among hundreds of dancing girls.

Then the Rong family soared into the sky.

After pondering for a while, Qi Guogong said: "In fact, Concubine Rong has been favored by the Holy Spirit for so many years."

Seeing Princess Pingning walking forward quickly and ignoring him, Qi Guogong shook his head and chased after her.

After walking a few steps, looking at Princess Pingning who was talking to a certain official family member with a smile on her face, Qi Guogong and the official family member deliberately slowed down their pace and said to the purple-robed senior official who was two steps behind, "Brother Hai, Long time no see, in Taiyuan Mansion."

Where are the Rong family's carriages and horses?

Madam Fuchanghou turned her head and looked around, then asked the young man guarding the car, "Where is your young master?"

The young men of the Rong family looked at each other, and one of them said: "Go back to the eldest lady, the young master, he and his brothers from several princes' houses are watching the south gate of the imperial city."

Hearing this, Lady Fuchang Hou shook her head helplessly: "These are already engaged people, and they are still so ignorant!"

After finishing speaking,

As Mrs. Fuchang Hou got into the car, she smiled and said to Rong Feiyan: "Yan'er, I see the smile on the face of the princess, and I am probably satisfied with you."

"Mom, let me forget it! Princess, your Majesty, that was just a polite smile."

"Besides, the princess has always been proud and arrogant, and she was born in a noble family. How could she let the young master have anything to do with our family?"

The two got into the carriage,

Madam Marquis Fuchang glared at Rong Feiyan and said, "What are you talking about? Your sister is a beloved concubine, and your brother is about to marry the Duke's legitimate daughter, and our Rong family is about to go up as well."

"Then, what can our family do to help the Qi family?"

"How. I." Lady Fuchanghou was speechless for a moment.

Princess Pingning is the adopted daughter of the Queen, and her status is extremely noble.

The Qi family had long since stopped developing into military officers. Qi Heng concentrated on studying and seeking the imperial examination. The future eldest wife must be someone who can help her in the officialdom.

Rong family?

When Mrs. Fuchang Hou was about to speak, she looked to the side along the car curtain opened by Rong Feiyan, and saw Princess Pingning talking to the Hai family couple, who were members of the Five Academy School.

"drive!"

"Yohoo~"

On the street some distance away from where the carriages and horses were parked, someone shouted to the horse and ran towards the south.

Knights followed from time to time, and it was very lively for a while.

Rong Feiyan lifted the car curtain and looked at the people leaving, sighing secretly in her heart.

imperial city,

South of Xuandemen,

"Xu~"

Xu Zaijing, Gu Tingye and others looked at the people surrounding the street and stopped their horses.

The reason why the people of Bianjing gathered around Yu Street was because

It was because the three to four hundred beautiful girls who had previously performed dances in the palace were already riding horses on the Royal Street.

On weekdays, Imperial Street was only accessible when the emperor was traveling.

But today is the emperor's birthday, and the girls who congratulate him also have the opportunity to gallop on the wide imperial street.

The horse's hooves are rushing and the wind is blowing, and the dancing clothes are bright and light,

A galloping ride really revealed the charm of these girls.

From time to time, dandy boys from Bianjing were watching, whistling at the girls, or holding up fruits and jewelry in their hands, hoping to attract the girls' attention.

Xu Zaijing, who was riding on the back of the little horse, was surprised because he saw that there were girls dressed as men among them!

Not to mention, they looked really pretty.

Gu Tingye focused on the four most outstanding girls, stroking his chin, and asked curiously: "By the way, why haven't you seen those four girls at Mother Ruan's banquet!"

Liang Han, who had already taken off the purse from his waist, said: "They are the girls raised by the brothel, and they are not the same as Mother Ruan."

"Oh!"

Gu Tingye nodded, looking at a very beautiful girl who came on horseback, he touched the jade pendant on his waist and was about to throw it over as a reward.

But after pulling off the ordinary glass pendant, Gu Tingye took a look. He was stunned at first, not knowing what he thought of. After stroking it a few times, Gu Tingye lowered his head and put the glass pendant back on.

When Gu Tingye looked up, he saw something flying straight from the girl riding on the Imperial Street to Xu Zaijing beside him.

Gu Tingye looked closely and saw that it was the flower crown on the head of the girl he wanted to throw the jade pendant to.

At this time, the extremely beautiful girl on the Imperial Street, although without the flower crown on her head, her face looked clearer and more beautiful.

"Oh~"

The people watching on the side cheered instantly when they saw this scene.

As a result, before everyone could react,

the flower crown in Xu Zaijing's hand flew back to the girl riding on the horse.

"Pah~"

The girl riding on the horse looked at the flower crown in her arms a little unprepared.

"Hey! Jing, it's not! Don't give it to me!"

"Yes!"

"Why are you like this!"

"What's the point of throwing it back?"

Gu Tingye, Rong Xian and Liang Han beside him said with great regret.

Xu Zaijing looked sideways and asked in confusion: "What's the explanation for this?"

"They've all left, so there's nothing to say!"

Liang Han said regretfully as he looked at the girl who was leaving.

Rong Xian patted Xu Zaijing on the shoulder, with the same regretful tone:

"Jing'er, there were such grand events in previous years. The girl threw a flower crown or something else to you, which meant that she liked you!"

"What a beautiful girl, you can just be a concubine!"

Xu Zaijing spread his hands.

It seemed that he had learned from the experience of the girl who threw the flower crown just now, and no girl came near Xu Zaijing and others.

The few people watched for a while on the side of the road, and then they dispersed.

Liang Han and Rong Xian seemed to know the origin of a certain beautiful girl. They laughed and laughed when they left, and it didn't seem like they were going home together.

On the way home from leaving the palace,

In the spacious carriage of the Hai family,

the master and his wife of the Hai family sat in it,

lifted the curtain and looked back, and the eldest lady of the Hai family said to the side: "Let Yunjie's carriage follow closer!"

"Yes, Madam!"

The maid next to her walked back.

After a while, the sound of the driver whipping the horse to speed up came from behind.

Retracting her sight from outside the carriage, looking at the master of the Hai family who was stroking his beard, the eldest lady of the Hai family said: "Sir, what are you thinking about?"

The master of the Hai family put down his hand stroking his beard, patted his legs twice, and said uncertainly: "I always feel that there is something else in what the Duke of Qi and the Princess said just now."

The eldest lady of the Hai family pursed her lips: "Of course there is something else! How old is our Sister Yun?"

"Hmm? Could it be that the Qi family wants to marry us?"

The eldest lady of the Hai family nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes! The Princess has this meaning in her words."

" Hiss!"

The master of the Hai family thought about it, and nodded while thinking: "I heard that this young master Qi Heng studies hard. I see that he is not bad today! Now that the emperor has given him a name, he will definitely be favored in the future."

The eldest lady of the Hai family: "Huh!"

The master of the Hai family stopped nodding, turned his head and looked at his wife and asked: "What? It seems that the wife is not very satisfied with this?"

The eldest lady of the Hai family pursed her lips slightly:

"Satisfied? What makes me satisfied about marrying into the Duke's Mansion?"

"Just the arrogant temper of Princess Pingning, and Qi Heng is an only son who is so precious to her!"

"The princess really acts like a mother-in-law, pointing east, how dare Qi Heng go west? What good life can a daughter-in-law who marries there have? Humph!"

The master of the Hai family on the side thought about the way Duke Qi just said little, and nodded repeatedly: "My lady is right, the princess is a bit strong-willed."

"If Duke Qi talks to me about this again in the future, I will refuse it secretly!"

The eldest lady of the Hai family nodded: "Speaking of which, I think the youngest son of the Xu family is not bad!"

The master of the Hai family looked over in surprise: "My lady, you didn't say that before!"

The eldest lady of the Hai family waved her head. Shouquaner said: "This idea is not fixed, and today's talk is over! Now I think about how the ladies and wives will be as mothers-in-law, and they have to be able to blaze new trails!"

Looking at her husband's puzzled expression, the eldest lady of the Hai family continued: "You have to look at those who have brothers, and then you will know how their sisters-in-law are doing and how their mothers-in-law are doing!"

"Madam, what about the former Earl of Zhongqin Yuan's family? That Madam Yuan treats the eldest son's wife very well"

"Well, they are cousins, which is different!"

The master of the Hai family smiled and nodded.

"Madam, you see that the Xie family, the Sheng family and Madam Sun are not related by blood, right? Well, well, let's not talk about the Sheng family, and talk about the Xie family girl who married into the Xu family!"

"I have attended several Xiangyi gatherings, and I have seen Mrs. Xie look graceful and relaxed, and she does not look like she was being harshly treated or scolded."

"The second eldest lady, Mrs. Sheng, has a smile on her face all day long, and her eyes are clearer than that of the little girl, which shows that she is living a comfortable life."

"So the eldest lady has taken a fancy to the youngest son of the Xu family?" the head of the Hai family said softly.

The eldest lady of the Hai family shook her head, raised her chin and said, "If this boy from the Xu family hadn't become a scholar, he might not be able to catch my eye!"

"What a pity!"

The eldest lady of the Hai family sighed.

Seeing the puzzled expressions of her officials, the eldest lady of the Hai family continued: "It's a pity that there are many people who want to marry the Xu family! Our Yun'er."

The head of the Hai family stroked his beard: "My child risked his life to save Sister Yun. Why are you so picky here?"

The eldest lady of the Hai family looked a little embarrassed: "This is me."

The leader of the Hai family smiled and said:

"Marquis Xu has made outstanding contributions, and the Xu family has a promising future! The two children have met more than once. You will look for opportunities to ask Sister Yun in the future!"

"If the two children are really in love with each other, I will lower my dignity and go to Xu's house!"

The eldest lady of the Hai family patted her official hard and said, "My sister Yun is raising her son in a boudoir. How can we be in love with each other?"

The leader of the Hai family repeatedly raised his hands: "Yes, yes, the eldest lady is right!"

In the carriage behind,

Hai Chaoyun was sitting on the side of the car, looking at the collection of poems in his hand under the light of the car window.

The female envoy on the side, Zhu Jian, was carefully removing the uncomfortable pearls stuck on Hai Chaoyun's cheeks.

After putting the last pearl into the small wooden box held by Baoxiu,

After Zhu Jian took a look at the contents of the poetry collection in Hai Chaoyun's hand, he wet the handkerchief with a water bottle and said, "Girl, why did you read the frontier poems of several great poets such as Qi Jue Sage Wang Jiangning (Wang Changling) today?" "

Hai Chaoyun closed the poetry collection, looked at the bustling Bianjing Street, and said softly: "I don't know what kind of scenery this 'Qinghai Changyun Dark Snow Mountain' is like!"

After listening to their girl's words, Baoxiu and Zhujian looked at each other in confusion.

"It's nothing, I just listened to a piece of music in the palace today, and I kind of want to read the poems here."

A few days later,

The joyful atmosphere of the Emperor's birthday slowly dissipated.

The entire Bianjing is operating as usual.

Xu Zaijing still gets up early to practice martial arts, read books, and massage horses.

On this day,

Imperial City Sizhong,

"Puff puff puff~"

A homing pigeon landed near the pigeon coop.

Then he was caught by the imperial city officials and took out the scroll on his lap.

In the hall,

"Chief, a secret report from the south."

Hearing the official's voice, Zhao Meifeng, who was leaning on a chair behind the table with his eyes slightly closed, stretched out his hand.

A few days ago, at the Emperor's birthday hall, the stewards and officials of the Imperial City Department did not dare to relax for a moment, but they were exhausted.

After Zhao Meifeng rubbed his face, he unfolded the paper carefully. After seeing the words on it clearly, his eyes suddenly widened!

soon,

This scroll appeared in the emperor's hand,

"High-speed iron art is now white in Jingdi?"

"Are Bai Gao's blacksmiths only in the Ministry of Works and the Chai family? Why did Jingdi appear?"

After listening to the emperor's inquiry, Zhao Zilong and Zhao Meifeng looked at each other. Zhao Zilong bowed and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, those who arrive in the capital are all in these two places!"

"Meifeng, you mean that the craftsman who appeared is not the craftsman who arrived in the capital?"

"Your Majesty, yes!"

After the emperor pondered for a moment, he said: "Go and ask Xu Zaijing and He Guan to come see me!"
