The maid led the two of them to the front of a room, and then knocked on the door lightly. She didn't open the door until she heard a lazy answer from inside, and let Chu Qingyan and the two enter.
Entering the eye, it is full of **** yarn, and the light yarn is wrapped around the corner of the entire room, giving people a hazy and confusing illusion.
There are not many interior decorations, with a few danqing hangings, a guqin hanging behind the main seat, and a vase on the table with a few jasmine sticks on it. The whole room is both elegant and charming.
It is indeed the number one oiran in Kyoto.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps, Chu Qingyan held the folding fan, followed the sound, and saw a woman in a silver, goose-yellow dress, with a graceful figure slowly appearing from behind the fluttering veil.
"Young Master." When she saw the pockmarked face of the young man in front of her, Shui Ling didn't show her emotions like a prostitute. It seems to have seen it somewhere, especially this pair of eyes.
Just as Shui Ling recalled, Chu Qingyan pursed her lips and smiled, "Shui Ling, look who I am?"
Shui Ling was stunned, this person actually knew her real name! His eyes just turned to vigilance, but after the other party took the handkerchief and wiped it on his face, his eyes suddenly widened.
"Little Wangfei—" The voice started, she restrained her amorous feelings, and knelt down to salute, "I have seen the little princess before."
"Don't be too polite, get up!" Chu Qingyan smiled and helped her up.
After Shui Ling got up, she wondered, "Little Wang Fei, why are you showing up like this?"
She has been waiting for the arrival of the little princess, but she didn't know that it would be in such a situation, and couldn't help but admire the little princess's quirky spirit.
"We just returned to Beijing, and we stared at too many people, so in order to hide people's eyes and ears, I had to sacrifice my appearance." Chu Qingyan pretended to sigh.
In fact, what she wanted to hide the most was the big ice cubes in his house. If she knew that she came to play at Fengyue Place, she would have to lecture for several days!
Shui Ling nodded, and then made tea in person.
Chu Qingyan glanced around the room, and then set her eyes on Shui Ling in front of her. When she saw her in the palace that day, she was charming and beautiful. Now here, her makeup is a little more seductive. It is indeed the most changeable. The dove-feather rider is good at different faces.
"Little Princess, is there a flower on your subordinate's face? Why do you keep staring at your subordinate?" Shui Ling looked at her puzzled.
Chu Qingyan laughed, "No, there are no flowers on your face, you are a flower yourself, a charming rose!"
Shui Ling "puchi" smiled, "Little princess, you really know how to make fun of your subordinates."
Chu Qingyan replied sternly, "I'm not joking, I'm telling the truth. By the way, I have two things for you this time."
"Please speak."
"First, thank you for helping me choose clothes that fit me last time, so that I wouldn't be ashamed." Chu Qingyan thanked sincerely.
Shui Ling smiled, "This is what your subordinates should do, you don't have to take it to heart."
"Secondly, there is something I want to ask you. Regarding my father's defeat fifteen years ago, I want to know the ins and outs!" Chu Qingyan's tone was solemn, with a serious expression on his face.
Shui Ling nodded, and then said, "Little Princess, even if you don't instruct your subordinates, they are still investigating this matter. The master has already told them to do it before, but it was delayed because of the Nancang Kingdom's aggression. My subordinates have found some clues."
"Okay, tell me quickly." Chu Qingyan didn't expect this unexpected gain, and immediately urged.
Shui Ling came slowly.
In the palace at this time.
Xiao Xu was about to enter the imperial study, but he met Liang Song, the left minister who was about to leave the hall. Liang Song stopped and saluted him, "I just heard that your highness is looking for your majesty, but it happened that Wei Chen took up your majesty's time, and your majesty turned around. And I went to Chaoyang Palace to greet the Empress, what a filial piety!"
Xiao Xu glanced at him lightly. The reason why Liang Song appeared here was probably because he was entrusted by his mother to keep him in the imperial study, delaying the time for him to meet his father.
Xiao Xu nodded slightly towards Liang Song and passed him by.
Liang Song touched his chin, smiled like a fox, and stepped out of the palace.
Emperor Xixuan just closed a memorial at this time, and when he saw Xiao Xu walk in, he put down the pen, Su Ri's sharp eyes were reduced a bit at this moment, but Yu Wei was still there.
"I heard that you came to the palace to find me today, why?" Emperor Xixuan asked casually with his hands folded on the desk.
Xiao Xu lowered his eyes, "My son wants to discuss border defense with the royal father."
This made Emperor Xixuan raise his eyebrows, and a vague look flashed in his eyes, "Okay, it seems that you already have an idea, talk about it."
Time passed in Xiao Xu's calm narrative, the last sentence fell, Emperor Xixuan stroked his beard and nodded, "Your idea is very good, the list of the soldiers you have proposed, I will follow up with you in the morning in two days. Several ministers discuss it."
Xiao Xu nodded in response.
The son in front of him is a dragon and a phoenix. As a father, he should be proud and proud, but in the eyes of Emperor Xixuan, he couldn't agree with his proposal, because he didn't know how many people on this list were indebted to Xiao Xu. Yes, if something happens, this border will fall. To be on the safe side, I will not use the person suggested by Xiao Xu.
Xiao Xu didn't know if he could see what Emperor Xixuan was thinking, and his expression was very indifferent.
"Xu'er, there is one thing here, I need your help." Emperor Xixuan seemed to remember something, and said in a loving and authentic tone.
Xiao Xu cupped his hands, "Father, please speak."
"This morning, I received a letter from Nancang Kingdom, saying that envoys will be sent to Xixuan someday, and they also sent a princess who wants to marry us, but I heard that the person who came here this time. , there are quite a few warriors from the Nancang Kingdom, when the time comes, I need you to sit in the court and kill their spirit." Emperor Xixuan said slowly.
Since Nan Cang expressed his desire to make peace, he had to be sincere. From ancient times to the present, it was normal for the princess to have a relationship.
And this time, Nan Cang chose to marry.
Xiao Xu lowered his eyes, "My son knows."
Hearing his answer, Emperor Xixuan nodded with satisfaction, "Xu'er, you are the best among the princes, you have done everything very well, this time I believe you will do it well too. "
"My son is ashamed to be worthy of it." Xiao Xu lowered his head and replied lightly.
"Very good, then you can go back and rest, and bring Qingyan girl to the palace when you have time."
"Yes."
After Xiao Xu left the imperial study, he stood at the highest place in the palace, glanced at the high-rise buildings under his eyes, and looked confused.
Fate is always joking with him.
With the careful call of the little father-in-law who was following him, he regained his senses and walked down the steps step by step, looking very lonely.
