Because they were not in a hurry, King Wei and Feng Sheng did not travel fast along the way.
It was just a trip to the mountains and rivers. The two went to Shaoxing first, and then went to Yangzhou after Shaoxing. In order to rescue Feng Sheng, King Wei revealed his shortcomings and exposed his layout in the salt gang. However, with Feng Sheng's help to open the back door, the salt gang turned from darkness to light. .
In fact, it is still the Salt Gang, but with a different shell, it has also been considered a clear path by Emperor Jianping. However, it is difficult to distinguish between the real and the false. This is the method used by King Wei. He never really hides himself, only reveals what should be revealed, and hides what should not be revealed.
It's like Gou Qing, who was promoted to an official position in public, and became a prison supervisor, but in fact he is still the leader of the Salt Gang.
King Wei came to Yangzhou this time mainly to see him, while Feng Sheng was to see Uncle Yu, Dao Qi and others, and they hadn't seen each other for a long time.
King Wei had a garden in Yangzhou, and the two lived here after they arrived.
It was inconvenient for Feng Sheng to go out, so someone delivered a letter to Uncle Yu. Uncle Yu came and reported the business affairs, and then gave Feng Sheng the latest account book.
To this, Feng Sheng did not refuse, and took the account book and only said that he had time to read it.
She also cared about Uncle Yu's life, which was actually her main purpose. For so many years, Uncle Yu has never married a wife, and he has followed Fang Yan to serve him. Now that Fang Yan's vengeance has been avenged, Feng Sheng has become the princess of Wei, and he has to take care of the affairs of the two Huaihe Rivers. He is destined not to be with Feng Sheng body.
What Feng Sheng meant was that he should also find someone who knows the cold and the hot to start a family. If nothing else, he should always be a companion, otherwise he would be too lonely.
But this can't be said clearly, after all, she is just a junior, but both of them understand it in their hearts. Uncle Yu just said something vaguely with a smile, and didn't agree or say no.
Going deeper, Feng Sheng is hard to say, she actually knows a little bit about her father and Uncle Yu, it would be too embarrassing to talk too much.
After sending off Uncle Yu, Feng Sheng walked back with a lot of worries.
In August, the scenery of Yangzhou is just right, and the scenery in this garden is also beautiful. Feng Sheng passed by a fish pond, saw the lively koi inside, so he couldn't help but take a second look, and just as he turned around to go back, he ran into an acquaintance.
It's Gouqing.
Gou Qing was the same as before, wearing a royal blue robe. His skin was slightly dark, his sword-shaped eyebrows slanted into his temples, and his peach blossom eyes seemed to be smiling but not smiling. He didn't look like an official, but rather a romantic son from somewhere.
This was Feng Sheng's first impression of Gou Qing when he saw him, and it is still the same now.
Gou Qing was originally smiling, but when he saw Feng Sheng, he was startled, and the smile on his face disappeared.
For a moment, both of them were a little stunned, and they both remembered what happened in the Salt Gang back then.
Back when she was in danger, Luanmeng used his name to get away temporarily. He knew everything and helped her, and even helped her play a scene to keep her safe for the time being. But after that time, the two never saw each other again. .
"Did Master Fang forget that I once said that I like you."
From the first time we met, this man was full of fluffy words, with an unscrupulous appearance. In fact, after that incident, she knew that he was still a gentleman in his bones. It was also after that time that she knew that he belonged to King Wei.
Feng Sheng felt that she shouldn't be hypocritical, after all, the two were partners at the beginning, and the other party had saved her.
"Lord Gou, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I still have the same demeanor."
"Should I call you Master Fang, or Fang Fengsheng, or Princess Wei?"
Gou Qing smiled, but his mouth was bitter. Before coming here, I heard that Wei Wang and Wei Wangfei lived in this garden. After reporting the matter, they obviously should leave immediately, but they still pretended to go the wrong way and stayed more. Unexpectedly, they actually met.
But when I really met, I realized that the knot in my heart couldn't be untied, it seemed to be tied even tighter.
Feng Sheng didn't expect Gou Qing to say that, so he didn't know what to say for a moment.
"I've met Princess Wei." Gou Qing was the first to speak out, smiled, and bowed his hands in salute.
"Don't be too polite. After all, it's an old acquaintance. You were kind to me back then."
Gou Qing lowered his head halfway: "Don't dare to show kindness, His Highness has always been very concerned about the princess, and his subordinates are just doing their own thing."
Feng Sheng was inexplicably embarrassed, and nodded: "In short, I still owe you a thank you. It seems that Mr. Gou has something to do, so I won't keep you any longer."
Gou Qing glanced at her, cupped his hands again, then turned around and left.
Feng Sheng didn't stay too long, and walked back, but before she had gone far, she bumped into someone.
It's the king of Wei, and I don't know how long he has been standing there.
"Why don't you look at the road when you walk?"
Feng Sheng was inexplicably guilty: "How did I know His Highness would stand here to scare people."
"scared you?"
"That's not true."
During the conversation, she also felt that her guilty conscience was a bit wrong. What was the guilty conscience? It was not that King Wei didn't know what happened back then, and she had no choice but to lie that she was Gouqing's woman. At that time, Gou Qing only stayed for one night, adhering to the courtesy of a gentleman, and left the next day. Looking back afterwards, Gou Qing should have reported to King Wei at that time, so that King Wei later sneaked into the Salt Gang disguised as Gou Qing.
But Feng Sheng didn't know that Gou Qing actually had selfishness, and this selfishness fell into King Wei's eyes.
After Gouqing left the Salt Gang that day, he didn't know what kind of mood he was in. Knowing that King Wei was looking for Feng Sheng, he forgot to report to him that Feng Sheng was trapped in the Salt Gang, until King Wei appeared in front of him.
…
"Master, where are you going?" Gou Qing asked the coachman after he got into the carriage.
"Just walk around."
This coachman was Gouqing's confidant, and he had never met him like this before, but Gouqing didn't say anything, and he didn't dare to ask more questions, so he drove the carriage around Yangzhou city.
After walking around until it was dark, Gou Qing was still silent, so he couldn't help asking another question.
"Go to Cuixiang Building."
In the fat powder pile, the selling gold nest, and the brothel and Goulan courtyard in Yangzhou are also leaders in the south of the Yangtze River.
Gou Qing was a regular visitor, and when he saw him coming, Yingying and Yanyan rushed up, even the bustard couldn't stop him, so Gou Qing was generous, and the bustard was happy to let the girls fawn on him.
Hugging left and right, it's so beautiful, and with fine wine, it's all there.
Gou Qing was very drunk, he usually associates with all kinds of religions and cultures, and spends twenty days in January in restaurants and brothels, there are very few times when he can get drunk.
But this time, he got himself drunk.
A beauty came closer, and his rough long fingers half-raised the opponent's chin, looking carefully. His eyes were a bit frightening, and the girl he was holding was so frightened that he called Lord Gou twice.
…
"What? Master Gou forgot about me?"
"Master Gou, are you really going to give me away?"
The beautiful image is still the same, but it's a pity that Luo Fu has a husband, which I can't even think about.
…
He smiled lowly, and pressed against the other person's forehead, but his eyes were in a daze.
"At the beginning, I really wanted to hide you, and no one would give it to you. It's a pity..."
On the way back, King Wei did not speak.
He didn't speak, and Feng Sheng didn't know what to say. After entering the courtyard where she lived, King Wei did not go back to the room with her, but went to the study.
Well, Feng Sheng knew that he was angry.
But why was he angry
But when she met an acquaintance and said a few words, her guilty conscience was only based on the fact that she lied about being Gou Qing's woman at the beginning. man.
How can Feng Sheng coax people, let alone men. In addition, King Wei slapped her face, and she felt a little uncomfortable, so she simply left that man behind her head, and asked Zhiqiu to find her half-read book when she returned to the room, and leaned on the imperial concubine's bed to read .
Until dusk, the king of Wei still did not come back.
This is a bit uncommon. Usually, King Wei does not have a meal with Feng Sheng, especially now that he has no errands and has nothing to do all day. It's okay to come back, and no one sent a message.
Zhiqiu came to ask about the meal, Feng Sheng put down the book and nodded.
"Where is His Highness?"
They are all in this courtyard, and the fact that King Wei is in the study can't be hidden from a few girls.
"If he doesn't come back, then I won't eat." To put it bluntly, Feng Sheng was also a little annoyed.
This kind of situation is not common in Fengsheng, even Zhiqiu, who is used to being presumptuous in front of her, dare not say anything more. They asked someone to set up the dinner, and the table was full of dishes, but Feng Sheng had no appetite at all.
She put down her chopsticks: "Go to the study and ask His Highness if he will come back for dinner."
Zhiqiu breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged glances with Zhichun, and ordered people to go.
After a while, the little girl came back, but she didn't dare to come in even though she was stuck outside, her voice was low.
"Your Highness said no." It is estimated that the prince and concubine had lost their temper in their hearts, for fear of touching their brows.
Feng Sheng pursed her lips: "Forget it if you don't come back."
I don't know whether to say this to the girls or to myself. But after saying this, she returned to her usual calm and picked up chopsticks to eat.
She ate very slowly, but unfortunately she didn't eat much, so someone removed the food.
Zhiqiu persuaded: "Princess, you eat too little, eat more. Your Highness ordered you to cook the soup every day, but you haven't had it yet, why don't you drink the soup?"
"Don't drink, I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep first."
Since she said so, the maids could only serve her and enter the inner room.
After cleansing her face, she took a bath, changed her pajamas and came to the dressing table. Zhichun Zhiqiu removed the topknot and hairpin from her bun.
Things that were unbearable before seem to get used to them without knowing it. Looking at herself in the mirror, Feng Sheng always feels a little strange, but so familiar.
Zhiqiu combed her hair with a rhino horn, while two maids massaged her hands and feet.
Her body has been depleted severely over the years, and since she came out of Dali Temple, she has become weak and sickly, and she has a cold and a cough every now and then. This is the prescription requested by Wei Wangguan's imperial physician. It is said that it is good for blood circulation and good for the body, so every night there will be a girl who can't shake it for her.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that he is not angry with him again.
After being massaged, Feng Sheng's hands and feet were warm, and she felt very comfortable lying on the bed.
I have to say that it is still useful. She usually has a light sleep and it is difficult to fall asleep. Now she can fall asleep in bed after a while.
Sleeping drowsily, there were many people around her, so she moved in to make room for him. But she didn't open her eyes, it was subconscious, but it was her action that offended him, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her lips.
It was originally a vent of hatred, but kissing and kissing changed the taste.
"Don't do it, sleepy." She shoved him.
"Looking at Gouqing, won't you feel sleepy?"
"What are you talking about? I just knew each other before. When I met you and said hello, you have been angry all night. Why are you still angry?" She said with a frown.
"It's an old acquaintance? Maybe it's an old friend!" He said with a sneer.
At this moment, Feng Sheng was no longer drowsy, and opened his eyes to look at him: "Is your old friend good or not? It's not like you didn't know about that back then, I didn't lie like that for self-protection."
"You think so, but other people don't think so. He knows that the king is looking for you everywhere, but he forgot to report you to the Salt Gang. What do you think is on his mind?"
"And this?"
