The rewards from the palace were all piled up neatly in her room.
There are gold and silver satin, and jade agate.
All of them are from Shen Zhiyi, the eldest princess of Leyang.
Jiang Xuening returned to the house from the outside. The two little girls Tanger and Lianer hadn't seen their own girl for a long time. Seeing her coming back, she lost a lot of weight, and her complexion was not very good. stand up.
Ask the left one, read the right one.
Jiang Xuening didn't answer a word. After they waited and washed, they didn't even ask a question about the current situation in Beijing, so they sent them out and sat alone in the room.
A bright candle was lit on the desk.
Jiang Xuening stared at the jumping firelight for a long time, and a teardrop fell down the edge of the candle uncontrollably, and she blinked.
All sounds are silent.
She got up and walked to the dressing table, her face without makeup under the candlelight was reflected in the diamond mirror.
"Crack" with a soft sound.
It was she who opened the long-clinched make-up gown and opened the bottom one, which contained a fine Hetian Qingyu bracelet wrapped in a pink and white silk handkerchief.
"Ning Ning, my aunt is begging you for something. If you go back to the house and see the eldest girl, help me give this to her..."
Wan Niang's sad face flashed back to her eyes when she was dying.
She squeezed her hand tightly, her eyes widened from rolling in the world, as if she was afraid that she would not agree, and she seemed to be full of guilt and pain.
But who is that for
Jiang Xuening recalled that he was still not sure.
How much she wished there was a star and a half of her own.
But until Wan Niang was out of breath, the servants from the capital broke open her hand that was still holding onto her, and she didn't get the answer she wanted.
"Is there nothing left for me..."
She took the bracelet out of the dressing gown, turned her back to the candle light on the desk, looked at it for a long time, tears rolled down her eyes after all, but a sarcastic smile overflowed from her lips.
Fingers slowly tightened the bracelet.
For a split second she wanted to drop the thing.
as if it never existed.
But at the moment when I raised my hand, I felt that I was unbearable and despicable, and the more and more ridiculous sadness set off by the two pictures...
"laugh."
So he laughed out loud.
Jiang Xuening finally threw the bracelet on the case, and slowly lay back on the bed, but she couldn't sleep with her eyes open.
Beijing in the New Year is a lively time.
The lantern festival was held for three consecutive days, visiting relatives, visiting relatives, and shopping in the market.
Although the weather is suddenly cold, it is rare to find people everywhere.
There are many teahouses and restaurants, and there are many old men who are idle in the street on weekdays, walking birds and crickets, and it is inevitable that they will talk nonsense when they sit down.
In fact, it's just trivial to say.
But this year, something unusual happened.
Lu Xian ate at Xie Wei's side last night, and didn't sleep well all night, so he just woke up early and was going to the Shuxiang Inn to see how the silver stocks in the Ren's Salt Field had risen.
It's just too early, and the news of silver stocks hasn't arrived yet.
He asked for a bowl of tea and went upstairs to sit upstairs, just nibbling on a handful of melon seeds and listening to the lively talk of the people downstairs.
"Have you heard?"
"heard."
"I heard that too."
"Haha, it's not that lucky people have their own good looks, and good people have good rewards after all!"
"Oh, what kind of riddles are the masters in the morning playing?"
"You don't know yet?"
"What you said made me confused. It's because I'm ignorant and ignorant. Recently, there has been a big incident in the capital? Is it the one that wiped out the Heavenly Sect?"
"It has something to do with it, but not this one."
"What exactly?"
"Hahaha, Master Zhou only arrived in the capital seven or eight years ago. I don't know if it's normal. You guys should be kind, don't make fun of him. It's really unbelievable that this man is definitely not a prince. I can still come back alive. I don’t know how much suffering I have suffered outside these years, and how much I have suffered!”
"Pity the three hundred righteous children's graves in the stele forest of Baita Temple..."
The old master Zhou sitting below was really confused the more he listened, and he couldn't help but ask the whole story.
Only then did the older man explain it to him with a bit of ostentation.
Therefore, it was only mentioned before and after the rebellion of King Pingnan.
Lu Xian listened, nothing more than that.
King Pingnan entered the capital, entered the palace, and did not capture the prince at that time, so he came up with a cruel method, and arrested all the children of the appropriate age in the capital to identify them, and found that they were all not. , and then threatened the queen and prince hiding in Beijing with the lives of these children to appear.
There are three hundred people in total. How can a parent see a child like this
The city was full of wailing and wailing.
"It was a big winter. It was really pitiful. The common people were kneeling on the long street, begging the rebels to raise their hands. It's fine to arrest them, but don't arrest children. Oh, I also listened to it back then, really worried? You said But as a human being, who can not be moved with compassion after hearing this? It can be seen that the eighth grandson of the King of Pingnan is a beast!
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how could he be held hostage
"If he wants to fall into the hands of the rebels, the rebels will succeed, won't we be over? At this critical moment, loyal ministers and good generals can be trusted."
That Master Zhou was startled: "Could it be the 'Ding Fei Shizi' you said?"
"Isn't it
"At that time, the youngest son was only seven years old. His father was the new prince of the Xiao clan in Dingguo's mansion, and his mother was the jewel in the palm of the old Marquis of Yongyi Hou's mansion. This was really born into the world with a jade with a gold title. With a little bit of wit, I heard that apart from learning the piano more slowly, everything else can be called a prodigy that I will never forget. When the first emperor was there, the grandfather of the country asked him to seal the prince for him. In the future, it is a certainty that he will inherit the Duke's Mansion. Before the Yongyi Hou Mansion happened, you heard that Yan Xiaohou is very powerful, right
"But if you want me to say, it's still eight feet away from the Dingfei Shizi!"
The listener couldn't help but tremble.
Lu Xian listened happily upstairs.
This person speaks vividly, as if he had seen it with his own eyes. The words are basically correct, it's just that person's piano...
His brows frowned slightly, and he couldn't help but scolded in his heart: People are so fucking mad than people.
Downstairs, everyone pricked up their ears.
Even the shopkeeper forgot his plan and looked up.
The person who spoke took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then continued: "In those days, Ding Fei Shizi was very popular with the empress in the palace, and he was in the palace with Madam Yan when the accident happened, so he naturally hid with His Royal Highness and the empress. Otherwise, how can Xiao Yan and his two clans be loyal to their hearts and courage, and do their best? At that time, it was the lives of three hundred innocent children, and the Prince was in danger. He took the initiative to stand up and changed his robes with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
A lot of people in the field suddenly let out an "ah" in surprise, obviously they all guessed a few points.
The man said: "Yes, this is actually a method of Li Dai Tao Zong! Dingfei Shizi has been walking in the palace since he was a child, and the eunuchs all recognize him and are familiar with the etiquette in the palace, and he is seven years old, similar to the eight-year-old His Royal Highness. , is not far from the same size, and is extremely alert. If he pretends to be a prince, takes the initiative to appear in front of King Pingnan against the party, and asks King Pingnan to release those children, it will be a blessing."
Master Zhou thought of something: "But the forest of steles in Baita Temple..."
Someone answered: "King Pingnan and other vicious people, once they think they have the crown prince, how can they leave other people alive? Naturally, they all kill them. The coercion failed, only to find out that it was a fake in his hand, and he naturally killed him in a fit of anger! Only a poor seven-year-old child, the Zhilan Yushu has not yet grown, and he was killed by this accident! The people of the family dug for a long time in the pile of frozen corpses at the gate of the palace, and then they found the dragon pendant and the clothes he wore when he was pretending to be the prince. Whose family is it…”
"A sin!"
"I heard that in those few months, there were children crying in the capital from midnight to midnight, but it was terrifying. Until the court took the bones of these poor children to Baita Temple, buried them next to the Chaoyin Pavilion, and stood there. After visiting the Forest of Steles, engraving their names, and asking the eminent monks in the temple to recite the scriptures day and night for seven, seven, and forty-nine months, it was only until the anger of this unjust death was taken away and the souls of these children were saved..."
"But now that Fei Shizi is alive?"
The man obviously thought it was a strange thing, so he couldn't help but smack his lips and said, "That's not true! It was spread all over the capital when I woke up early this morning. I can't believe that there is such a thing as a resurrection from the dead! But I think It's reasonable to think, after all, Madam Yan said that she couldn't find anyone. There are clothes and jade pendants, and when the snow melts, people will be bloody and bloody when they touch it. Where can I recognize a person? Everyone's children are similar. I heard that it was very miserable, and it seems that it fell into the hands of the Heavenly Sect. Thanks to the young master of the dynasty, Master Xie, this time I rescued people. It can be seen that the sky has eyes, such loyal and good ministers, in the end, have a great fortune!"
The word "blessing" is believed in the market.
Hearing that person say this, they all nodded their heads to express their happiness, and some were happy for this Dingfei Shizi.
Only Lu Xian, who was sitting upstairs, gave a lukewarm laugh, and suddenly interjected: "The Xiongtai downstairs seems to know a lot, how can it be like seeing it with my own eyes? Are you an errand in the palace?"
The man did not expect that someone would come to pick on it.
He raised his head and saw that it was Boss Lu of Youhuang Pavilion. He couldn't help but get up and cupped his hands in a hurry. He smirked and said, "Hey, isn't this just hearsay, so I'll make fun of it for everyone? But you I really guessed correctly. I heard the news from a eunuch who had worked in the palace when he was released. However, he was not in good health. Dead. I'm ashamed to say, this man is now able to make a fortune, thanks to the money he left behind."
This person is not a big man among the merchants in the capital. After all, there are many powerful people under the feet of the emperor.
It's just that no one thought that there was such a layer of origin in the middle, so they couldn't help but be surprised.
But there were also a few people who knew him and knew that what he said was not false.
Although Lu Xian was a businessman, he was a jinshi and second grader in the Hanlin Academy back then, and he was secretly doing some shit for Xie Wei. People are as simple as that.
Although the man knew what to say casually, he heard the clue.
The eunuch who worked as a messenger in the palace knew about this and released it, wouldn't he die soon
He nibbled on another melon seed and raised his eyebrows with interest: "If you say it like this, then this unworthy son was with his mother Mrs. Yan, and it is reasonable that the son took the initiative to sacrifice his life for the savior. Mrs. Yan should know and agree. But how did I hear that not long after the siege of the capital was lifted, Mrs. Yan broke out with Duke Xiao and went straight back to the Hou residence, and the Xiao Yan family has never had any contact?"
The man below was startled.
Others couldn't help but be shocked: I just heard people talking about it before, how can I be asked this question, I really think it's a bit weird
Someone tentatively said: "Boss Lu looks at it and knows something hidden?"
Lu Xian rolled his eyes: "I want to know what to ask you for!"
This appearance couldn't be more real, so everyone was relieved, and then they thought: How can ordinary people know about the affairs of the Tianjia? The only one who can be pitiful is the three hundred innocent children buried in the snow.
Early in the morning, the icy sunlight rose from the east and slanted on the white marble railings that formed a line in front of Huangji Hall.
The ministers have arrived and stand with their heads bowed.
The emperor Shen Lang was wearing a black five-clawed golden dragon robe and a 12-pointed crown on his head.
Xie Wei is in the lower left of the column of civil servants. It is rare to wear a regular and majestic court dress. Compared with the ordinary robes, he is a little less secluded and far away.
But still not out of proportion, just right.
With a three-point smile on his face, he only raised his eyes to stare at Shen Lang, and reminded in a shallow voice, "Your Highness, the Prince Ding Fei has been waiting outside the hall for a long time."
