Graceful Dynasty

Chapter 39: Oblique path lost

Views:

Xinghe was a little confused, not knowing whether the question "Has it grown up" meant growing in age or the chick growing up.

Xinghe leaned over to take a look. Because of the prince's unkindness last time, her shrimp-whisker hairpin was basically no longer used. She originally wanted to go to Ruyi Pavilion and ask a silversmith to re-make the whiskers, but later she gave up because she was busy. Now it is lost. After searching for a long time, she couldn't find it. It's not good to lose such a close-fitting thing, so she went back to Guangtian Palace with Lanchu. But after searching for a long time, the hairpin seemed to have grown wings and disappeared.

In the middle of the training ground, there is a willow-leaf brick archery path, long and wide, somewhat like the imperial path in front of the Tai Chi Gate. In the icy and snowy weather, the training grounds separated on both sides were covered with a layer of snow. There was no training on snowy days, so the snow accumulated thickly, like white cotton wool. However, the archery path was cleaned up without any scattered snow foam left. The green axe bricks became particularly dark after being soaked, and compared with the training grounds covered with white snow on both sides, it looked like a straight and hard sword.

Since she doesn't want to be with him, what's the point of having an affair? He was slowly getting angry, "So, are you sleeping with me, or am I sleeping with you?"

The prince was flipping through the documents leisurely and hummed casually. Suddenly his mind turned around and he looked at her in surprise, "What did you say?"

Xinghe stepped on it and looked up. There was a person standing on the archery path. He was very tall, wearing a moon-white robe and light golden armor. She knew that the chief and deputy envoys of the Privy Council were dressed differently. Xinghai was wearing a red robe and silver armor, and the chief envoy was wearing the one in front of her. She thought Xinghai's outfit was already very heroic, but when she saw the chief envoy, she inexplicably felt an irreversible sense of frustration. Some people can make people afraid even if they just stand there quietly.

Xinghe was a little confused, not knowing whether the question "Has it grown up" meant growing in age or the chick growing up.

He turned slightly to the side and stopped looking at her. Xinghe stood there for a while with regret, remembering that he said he had someone he liked. Although she didn't get him to say it, that person must not be her. Her good intentions had gone to waste. Since this was the case, there was nothing she could do. She bowed to him and then left the front hall.

She hesitated, trying to recall, "When you were about thirteen or fourteen, you were still wearing clothes, standing behind the screen, and you were invisible. I didn't really see you. Besides, some people may not grow up when they are old, so I don't think it's easy to answer your question."

The prince was irritated by her words. What did she mean by "even if you are old, that part may not be grown up"? Wasn't she still a virgin? Why did she talk about this so maturely

When I got up the next day, the snow had stopped, but the sky was still gloomy, pressing down on my head and making it hard to breathe.

The prince looked at her sadly, "Thank you for your dedication. I appreciate your willingness to do this. But I can't sleep with you for free. You don't need the reward, and you don't want the title. How can I pay off this debt? It doesn't matter whose concubine has a child. Anyway, you have a lot of wives and concubines at home, but you don't have a son. I'm not in a hurry. Wait a little longer. When the dust settles one day, there will always be an explanation." He looked outside, "It's getting late, you should go back and rest."

There was a uniform sound behind her, she covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and quickly walked out of Zhaoyu.

She didn't understand. Xinghe had been in the Control Rong Division for so long, and some things had to be prevented before they happened. Your things sometimes represent you, and you can't let them go if they are lost. Whether they are valuable or not is secondary. If they appear in a place where they shouldn't be, it will be difficult to deal with.

Since she doesn't want to be with him, what's the point of having an affair? He was slowly getting angry, "So, are you sleeping with me, or am I sleeping with you?"

She was very calm. "I said I would serve you in bed. Do you want a woman? You didn't like the green oranges last time, but what about me? Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I will serve you this time."

The prince was irritated by her words. What did she mean by "even if you are old, that part may not be grown up"? Wasn't she still a virgin? Why did she talk about this so maturely

Just as I was about to ask about the night trial, I heard a sharp voice yelling, "What crime have we committed? Even if the government arrests us, they have to give us a charge. We are women and children, living a peaceful life. What law have we violated? Check our property. It was left by our ancestors and provided by the court to feed us, an orphan and a widow. Are you guys bullies? Why don't you leave us a way out?"

Xinghe gritted her teeth in her heart. This calculation was too cunning. She worked so hard outside and had to serve him when she came back. If he didn't have so many things to do and just served her food and drink like before, she wouldn't think it was a big deal. But now even she could see his restlessness... The prince really needed a woman. He was thirsty, but he was unwilling to settle for less, so he had the idea of making a move on the edge of his nest.

He carefully considered and observed her expression, "Su Xinghe, all your childhood friends cannot escape your peeping, right?"

Xinghe gritted her teeth in her heart. This calculation was too cunning. She worked so hard outside and had to serve him when she came back. If he didn't have so many things to do and just served her food and drink like before, she wouldn't think it was a big deal. But now even she could see his restlessness... The prince really needed a woman. He was thirsty, but he was unwilling to settle for less, so he had the idea of making a move on the edge of his nest.

As she said this, the prince suddenly felt as if his underwear had been opened. Did his drunken behavior finally let her see the clues? In this way, she was not stupid. Sometimes she just pretended to be confused. She was still very observant of him.

There was a uniform sound behind her, she covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and quickly walked out of Zhaoyu.

She slammed the table hard, "Asshole!"

She smiled innocently, "I didn't mean to do that. The incident with Yue Ting was caused by his father, and I just happened to be there. As for you, I took care of your daily life. When I wasn't on duty at the Ministry of Military Affairs, I was the one who delivered the fumigated clothes to the Clothing Bureau every time. It's no big deal if I bumped into you once or twice. You are the master, and I am the servant. In the eyes of the master, servants are the same as cats and dogs, and cannot be considered human beings. Have you ever seen anyone carrying a cat or dog while changing clothes? Later, not only did you not carry me, you also asked me to wipe your body. What's the matter? Take it easy, don't be embarrassed."

Xinghe leaned over to take a look. Because of the prince's unkindness last time, her shrimp-whisker hairpin was basically no longer used. She originally wanted to go to Ruyi Pavilion and ask a silversmith to re-make the whiskers, but later she gave up because she was busy. Now it is lost. After searching for a long time, she couldn't find it. It's not good to lose such a close-fitting thing, so she went back to Guangtian Palace with Lanchu. But after searching for a long time, the hairpin seemed to have grown wings and disappeared.

Xinghe turned around and looked at her, "What's wrong?"

After all, there were hundreds of people to feed. Although the annual salary of a general was 4,200 dan, it was not low, but it was a drop in the bucket to feed so many mouths. In today's world, cats have their own ways and dogs have their own ways. If the court officials let the king of hell account, I wonder what the emperor would think if he knew about it.

Xinghe rubbed his hands, "There's no need to compare with Yueting this time. I've seen both of you. There's no difference between you two. You're all childhood friends, so neither of you will suffer a loss."

The prince felt that he couldn't talk to her properly. He looked at her and sighed heavily. He looked at her again and sighed again.

"But this is the order from the Crown Prince..."

The group of people rushed in a hurry, and the sound of their hurried footsteps echoed in the iron barrel-like corridor, expanding infinitely. When Xinghe rushed to the prison door, the woman was still crying and cursing. She shouted at the person who came, "Shut her mouth!"

Xinghe rubbed his hands, "There's no need to compare with Yueting this time. I've seen both of you. There's no difference between you two. You're all childhood friends, so neither of you will suffer a loss."

Xinghe said: "You slept with me. Actually, the last time you were drunk, I felt that you were in a difficult situation..."

It's better outside. Even if it's covered by dark clouds, it's much better than the purgatory below. She tilted her head and instructed Xu Xingzhi, "Start with the old maid and the guards. If they don't open their mouths, show them your tricks and interrogate them thoroughly. The thousand households sent by Lord Nan came back from outside the city. After visiting all night, the soldiers said that there was no arrears. After asking carefully, I found out that the Northern Army does not pay military salaries monthly, but every two months, and no later than three months. But this way, Cao Zhan has more cash on hand, and he can tear down the east wall to pay the west wall, so that he can have room to maneuver and instruct his subordinates to lend money at interest."

She was impatient to listen any further, so she told her to pack up and go back to the women's quarters.

It's rare to see such a comparison. The prince thought about it and it seemed to be the truth that neither of them would suffer. But I felt bad for not showing her the best state. When we have that kind of relationship in the future, I must let her understand what it means to grow up, and I guarantee she will be shocked.

She was talking about sleeping with the emperor in bed, not staying up all night. This sudden stroke of genius made the prince totally at a loss as to how to respond.

"But this is the order from the Crown Prince..."

She blinked and looked at him helplessly, "Master, may I serve you tonight?"

She got off the sedan and looked up. When the founding emperor was in power, a plaque was hung high with three large gold-plated characters of "Privy Council". It looked really majestic. The guards standing guard at the door were also different from those of the Control Rong Division. They were the imperial guards, unlike those barbarians who looked like old crows. They were wearing helmets and armor and dressed in a dignified manner. When they saw the visitor, they knew her identity by looking at her official uniform. Although they did not deliberately make things difficult for her, they still had to stop her according to the rules.

Xinghe said: "You slept with me. Actually, the last time you were drunk, I felt that you were in a difficult situation..."

After all, he was a master who was easy to fool. He didn't think about being fair and asked her to take off her clothes so that he could take a look. It's okay for a man to suffer a little loss in this regard. He didn't want to be so fussy about everything and make a woman feel embarrassed. He turned around happily and went to the desk to sort out today's documents. The pile of documents was so high that he put them in order without getting tired of it. He took the time to tell her, "I'll have someone pack up all your things and send them to Guangtian Palace. Don't live in the Imperial Concubine's Courtyard in the future. It's too much trouble to run back and forth after you get off work. Just live in Guangtian Palace. It's convenient for you to come here."

She slammed the table hard, "Asshole!"

Yes, the prince felt that he had done it so obviously, how could she still stare at him and ignore him? He was a little shy, hoping that she would continue, say more, and preferably express her love for him, and that she also liked him.

Xinghe said, "Please inform on my behalf that Su Xinghe is visiting Lord Huo, the Privy Envoy."

According to the old etiquette, the Guangtian Hall in the East Palace is the prince's bedroom. Lizheng Hall has been used for office work in all dynasties. The prince was diligent, or maybe lazy, so he merged the two places into one, and Guangtian Hall was completely unused. It seemed a bit excessive to let her live there now. She was just a female official. Living in the prince's bedroom so openly, although she did have an incomparable desire for power, she still didn't dare to do so with such obvious ambitions.

After waiting for a while, the lieutenant came out to answer, and said respectfully: "Master Huo invites Master Su to come into the yamen to have a chat." As he spoke, he stepped aside, bowed and gestured, "Please."

She hesitated, trying to recall, "When you were about thirteen or fourteen, you were still wearing clothes, standing behind the screen, and you were invisible. I didn't really see you. Besides, some people may not grow up when they are old, so I don't think it's easy to answer your question."

After all, there were hundreds of people to feed. Although the annual salary of a general was 4,200 dan, it was not low, but it was a drop in the bucket to feed so many mouths. In today's world, cats have their own ways and dogs have their own ways. If the court officials let the king of hell account, I wonder what the emperor would think if he knew about it.

A lieutenant came forward, clasped his fists and bowed, "Is this the Jinyi Envoy, Lord Su?"

She refused repeatedly, "My lord, I appreciate your kindness, but living alone in Guangtian Palace is a serious crime..."

In the middle of the training ground, there is a willow-leaf brick archery path, long and wide, somewhat like the imperial path in front of the Tai Chi Gate. In the icy and snowy weather, the training grounds separated on both sides were covered with a layer of snow. There was no training on snowy days, so the snow accumulated thickly, like white cotton wool. However, the archery path was cleaned up without any scattered snow foam left. The green axe bricks became particularly dark after being soaked, and compared with the training grounds covered with white snow on both sides, it looked like a straight and hard sword.

Lan Chu searched through the three-layer jewelry box, "Your cicada hairpin with the broken whiskers is missing."

He turned slightly to the side and stopped looking at her. Xinghe stood there for a while with regret, remembering that he said he had someone he liked. Although she didn't get him to say it, that person must not be her. Her good intentions had gone to waste. Since this was the case, there was nothing she could do. She bowed to him and then left the front hall.

Xinghe stepped on it and looked up. There was a person standing on the archery path. He was very tall, wearing a moon-white robe and light golden armor. She knew that the chief and deputy envoys of the Privy Council were dressed differently. Xinghai was wearing a red robe and silver armor, and the chief envoy was wearing the one in front of her. She thought Xinghai's outfit was already very heroic, but when she saw the chief envoy, she inexplicably felt an irreversible sense of frustration. Some people can make people afraid even if they just stand there quietly.

Lan Chu stuck out his tongue, hurriedly put away the small items, and he and Xinghe each carried a bag and went to the women's quarters.

"But this is the order from the Crown Prince..."

"Who said you should live alone?" The prince interrupted her, "I will move to the back too. This way I will be closer. If you are dismissed from your post in the government office, you can also take care of the affairs of the Eastern Palace. It's like killing two birds with one stone."

She was very calm. "I said I would serve you in bed. Do you want a woman? You didn't like the green oranges last time, but what about me? Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I will serve you this time."

Xinghe leaned over to take a look. Because of the prince's unkindness last time, her shrimp-whisker hairpin was basically no longer used.

The prince really needed a woman. He was thirsty, but he was unwilling to settle for less, so he had the idea of making a move on the edge of his nest.

A lieutenant came forward, clasped his fists and bowed, "Is this the Jinyi Envoy, Lord Su?"

She was in a dilemma again. "Can I not do it? I still have to work as an official in the Military Control Department. That's my real job."

As she said this, the prince suddenly felt as if his underwear had been opened. Did his drunken behavior finally let her see the clues? In this way, she was not stupid. Sometimes she just pretended to be confused. She was still very observant of him.

I thought the man's roar was like thunder, but I didn't expect the female official's ruthless tone to be as powerful as a thunderbolt. Strangling is already the lightest punishment, and it's like pulling out the ribs and digging out the liver. If someone dies, then he's dead. If anyone wants to overturn the verdict, there are a hundred ways to make the death be justified.

She got off the sedan and looked up. When the founding emperor was in power, a plaque was hung high with three large gold-plated characters of "Privy Council". It looked really majestic. The guards standing guard at the door were also different from those of the Control Rong Division. They were the imperial guards, unlike those barbarians who looked like old crows.

Xinghe said, "Please inform on my behalf that Su Xinghe is visiting Lord Huo, the Privy Envoy."

A woman took the lead in shouting, and the prison was immediately in chaos with children crying and girls wailing.

She got off the sedan and looked up. When the founding emperor was in power, a plaque was hung high with three large gold-plated characters of "Privy Council". It looked really majestic. The guards standing guard at the door were also different from those of the Control Rong Division. They were the imperial guards, unlike those barbarians who looked like old crows. They were wearing helmets and armor and dressed in a dignified manner. When they saw the visitor, they knew her identity by looking at her official uniform. Although they did not deliberately make things difficult for her, they still had to stop her according to the rules.

After entering the house and relighting the candles, all the personal belongings were emptied out, and the empty house was particularly deserted. Lan Chu continued to take out the valuables from the bag bit by bit and put them back, muttering, "My Lord, you are too picky. What are you afraid of if the prince tells you to? Do the Yiting Bureau dare to ask you about it? If they have the guts... Eh—"

If a person lives without temper, even gods can't save him. She was impatient to stay in this stinking place for a long time, so she turned around and ordered the guards: "Watch these people carefully, don't let them make any noise, and don't let them talk in private. If anyone violates the rules, they will be punished according to the example, as long as they don't die."

Where to sleep at night became a problem again. When she walked into Guangtian Hall, she saw Lan Chu busy packing up. When she found out she was back, she said, "My lord, look at this room. It's really grand. Behind the screen is a small golden and red flat bed. The floor is covered with a fine mat and a thick felt on top... The cabinet doors over there are all covered with golden flowers..."

Jin Ci also agreed with Ye Jinchun, "You are not like us. We joined the army when we were in our teens and jumped into the frozen river naked in the twelfth lunar month to learn skills. In weather like this, it's like playing. Girls are weak after all, so you'd better be more careful."

The prince was flipping through the documents leisurely and hummed casually. Suddenly his mind turned around and he looked at her in surprise, "What did you say?"

"Just do what I tell you to do." The snow was still falling, hitting my face so hard that my skin was numb from the cold.

If a person lives without temper, even gods can't save him. She was impatient to stay in this stinking place for a long time, so she turned around and ordered the guards: "Watch these people carefully, don't let them make any noise, and don't let them talk in private. If anyone violates the rules, they will be punished according to the example, as long as they don't die."

Xinghe handed the hand warmer to Ye Jinchun, and then he lifted the corner of his robe and walked into the gate. After passing the Taishan screen wall, there was a huge training ground behind. The Privy Council was different from other government offices. It was a military office, and occasionally took on the responsibility of escorting the emperor when he traveled, so there were often various types of drills, and it was necessary to prepare such a field for the inspection of the envoys.

She put on a smile and bowed to him from a distance. Huo Yan stood still like a mountain, and only the bright red tassels on both sides of the purple-gold hairband fluttered in the wind. For such a cold person, the only thing that seemed alive was the hairband.

She was talking about sleeping with the emperor in bed, not staying up all night. This sudden stroke of genius made the prince totally at a loss as to how to respond.

The ferocious guards kicked the door open and came in. They were rough men, used to doing bad things, and never knew how to be gentle with women. They tied a hemp rope into a grape knot, twisted the woman's head horizontally, and tied her mouth tightly. When the people around saw it, they panicked and hugged each other. The tortured woman struggled to kick her legs, but this time she couldn't say any more complaints, only long and short sobs, like the low singing on the stage.

The prince felt that he couldn't talk to her properly. He looked at her and sighed heavily. He looked at her again and sighed again.

Yes, the prince felt that he had done it so obviously, how could she still stare at him and ignore him? He was a little shy, hoping that she would continue, say more, and preferably express her love for him, and that she also liked him.

She thought Xinghai's outfit was already very heroic, but when she saw the chief envoy, she inexplicably felt an irreversible sense of frustration. Some people can make people afraid even if they just stand there quietly.

She said, "Do you know what the crime of overstepping the boundaries is? It's punishable by death! If you don't want to be tried in the Ye Ting Bureau tomorrow, go back quickly."

She was very calm. "I said I would serve you in bed. Do you want a woman? You didn't like the green oranges last time, but what about me? Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I will serve you this time."

If a person lives without temper, even gods can't save him. She was impatient to stay in this stinking place for a long time, so she turned around and ordered the guards: "Watch these people carefully, don't let them make any noise, and don't let them talk in private. If anyone violates the rules, they will be punished according to the example, as long as they don't die."

The prince's face turned red, not a light blush, but a real red, as red as the silk wrapping a pomegranate tree.

"Who said you should live alone?" The prince interrupted her, "I will move to the back too. This way I will be closer. If you are dismissed from your post in the government office, you can also take care of the affairs of the Eastern Palace. It's like killing two birds with one stone."

It's better outside. Even if it's covered by dark clouds, it's much better than the purgatory below. She tilted her head and instructed Xu Xingzhi, "Start with the old maid and the guards. If they don't open their mouths, show them your tricks and interrogate them thoroughly. The thousand households sent by Lord Nan came back from outside the city. After visiting all night, the soldiers said that there was no arrears. After asking carefully, I found out that the Northern Army does not pay military salaries monthly, but every two months, and no later than three months. But this way, Cao Zhan has more cash on hand, and he can tear down the east wall to pay the west wall, so that he can have room to maneuver and instruct his subordinates to lend money at interest."

Jin Ci and several centurions looked at each other. When they were about to report again, she suddenly stood up, turned around and walked towards the women's prison.

Xinghe was a little confused, not knowing whether the question "Has it grown up" meant growing in age or the chick growing up.

She got off the sedan and looked up. When the founding emperor was in power, a plaque was hung high with three large gold-plated characters of "Privy Council". It looked really majestic. The guards standing guard at the door were also different from those of the Control Rong Division. They were the imperial guards, unlike those barbarians who looked like old crows. They were wearing helmets and armor and dressed in a dignified manner. When they saw the visitor, they knew her identity by looking at her official uniform. Although they did not deliberately make things difficult for her, they still had to stop her according to the rules.

Ye Jinchun caught up with him and said earnestly, "Sir, you'd better take the sedan chair. It's snowing so heavily that it's blinding. It's almost the New Year, what if you catch a cold? The prince has repeatedly told us to use the sedan chair when going out. If I don't do my job well, the prince will punish me."

Xinghe said: "You slept with me. Actually, the last time you were drunk, I felt that you were in a difficult situation..."

It's not that I haven't thought about it, but what is this? Just to relieve his heat, like helping him dress up? He took a breath, "Are you offering yourself for the bed? If you are blessed, you will be a concubine in the harem, you know that?"

Lan Chu was confused. "Even if I report it, I'm afraid I won't be able to find it. If someone picks it up, the more trouble they make, the less they will return it."

The group of people rushed in a hurry, and the sound of their hurried footsteps echoed in the iron barrel-like corridor, expanding infinitely. When Xinghe rushed to the prison door, the woman was still crying and cursing. She shouted at the person who came, "Shut her mouth!"

Jin Ci also agreed with Ye Jinchun, "You are not like us. We joined the army when we were in our teens and jumped into the frozen river naked in the twelfth lunar month to learn skills. In weather like this, it's like playing. Girls are weak after all, so you'd better be more careful."

However, he was really cold and indifferent. He didn't smile or speak. He just looked at her coldly as she approached. When she came to him, he saluted and said, "Sir Su." His voice was also cold, like bronze hitting each other, with a chilling aura. Perhaps he felt that it was not good to keep people at a distance like this, so he reluctantly said, "I heard Xinghai mention that there is a younger sister at home. Seeing her today is worth my life."

It's not that I haven't thought about it, but what is this? Just to relieve his heat, like helping him dress up? He took a breath, "Are you offering yourself for the bed? If you are blessed, you will be a concubine in the harem, you know that?"

The prince looked at her sadly, "Thank you for your dedication. I appreciate your willingness to do this. But I can't sleep with you for free. You don't need the reward, and you don't want the title. How can I pay off this debt? It doesn't matter whose concubine has a child. Anyway, you have a lot of wives and concubines at home, but you don't have a son. I'm not in a hurry. Wait a little longer. When the dust settles one day, there will always be an explanation." He looked outside, "It's getting late, you should go back and rest."

After all, he was a master who was easy to fool. He didn't think about being fair and asked her to take off her clothes so that he could take a look. It's okay for a man to suffer a little loss in this regard. He didn't want to be so fussy about everything and make a woman feel embarrassed. He turned around happily and went to the desk to sort out today's documents. The pile of documents was so high that he put them in order without getting tired of it. He took the time to tell her, "I'll have someone pack up all your things and send them to Guangtian Palace. Don't live in the Imperial Concubine's Courtyard in the future. It's too much trouble to run back and forth after you get off work. Just live in Guangtian Palace. It's convenient for you to come here."

Lan Chu searched through the three-layer jewelry box, "Your cicada hairpin with the broken whiskers is missing."

She was in a dilemma again. "Can I not do it? I still have to work as an official in the Military Control Department. That's my real job."

Is he really as difficult to deal with as the rumors say? Xinghe thought to himself, and stepped forward. The arrow path was a bit long, nearly fifty steps away. As he got closer, he gradually saw his face. This general had been trained on the battlefield, but he didn't have the fat on his face like the thousand households of the Control Rong Division. He had even eyebrows and eyes, and had the demeanor of a Confucian general. It may also be that he had returned to Beijing for many years and had long been well. The prince said he was thirty-seven or thirty-eight, but he didn't look that old, at most in his early thirties.

She put on a smile and bowed to him from a distance. Huo Yan stood still like a mountain, and only the bright red tassels on both sides of the purple-gold hairband fluttered in the wind. For such a cold person, the only thing that seemed alive was the hairband.

She was in a dilemma again. "Can I not do it? I still have to work as an official in the Military Control Department. That's my real job."

"Who said you should live alone?" The prince interrupted her, "I will move to the back too. This way I will be closer. If you are dismissed from your post in the government office, you can also take care of the affairs of the Eastern Palace. It's like killing two birds with one stone."

Jin Ci also agreed with Ye Jinchun, "You are not like us. We joined the army when we were in our teens and jumped into the frozen river naked in the twelfth lunar month to learn skills. In weather like this, it's like playing. Girls are weak after all, so you'd better be more careful."

Yes, the prince felt that he had done it so obviously, how could she still stare at him and ignore him? He was a little shy, hoping that she would continue, say more, and preferably express her love for him, and that she also liked him.

Lan Chu searched through the three-layer jewelry box, "Your cicada hairpin with the broken whiskers is missing."

Since she doesn't want to be with him, what's the point of having an affair? He was slowly getting angry, "So, are you sleeping with me, or am I sleeping with you?"

He carefully considered and observed her expression, "Su Xinghe, all your childhood friends cannot escape your peeping, right?"

Xinghe said: "You slept with me. Actually, the last time you were drunk, I felt that you were in a difficult situation..."

Xinghe stepped on it and looked up. There was a person standing on the archery path. He was very tall, wearing a moon-white robe and light golden armor. She knew that the chief and deputy envoys of the Privy Council were dressed differently. Xinghai was wearing a red robe and silver armor, and the chief envoy was wearing the one in front of her. She thought Xinghai's outfit was already very heroic, but when she saw the chief envoy, she inexplicably felt an irreversible sense of frustration. Some people can make people afraid even if they just stand there quietly.

She thought Xinghai's outfit was already very heroic, but when she saw the chief envoy, she inexplicably felt an irreversible sense of frustration. Some people can make people afraid even if they just stand there quietly.

Xinghe gritted her teeth in her heart. This calculation was too cunning. She worked so hard outside and had to serve him when she came back. If he didn't have so many things to do and just served her food and drink like before, she wouldn't think it was a big deal. But now even she could see his restlessness... The prince really needed a woman. He was thirsty, but he was unwilling to settle for less, so he had the idea of making a move on the edge of his nest.

Just as I was about to ask about the night trial, I heard a sharp voice yelling, "What crime have we committed? Even if the government arrests us, they have to give us a charge. We are women and children, living a peaceful life. What law have we violated? Check our property. It was left by our ancestors and provided by the court to feed us, an orphan and a widow. Are you guys bullies? Why don't you leave us a way out?"

Xinghe said: "You slept with me. Actually, the last time you were drunk, I felt that you were in a difficult situation..."

Xinghe said: "You slept with me. Actually, the last time you were drunk, I felt that you were in a difficult situation..."

The regulations of the Privy Council are very strict. After all, it was the government office that once held all the military power of Dayin. Even though it is now divided into several parts, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. The gate is still magnificent and the access control is still strict.

As she said this, the prince suddenly felt as if his underwear had been opened. Did his drunken behavior finally let her see the clues? In this way, she was not stupid. Sometimes she just pretended to be confused. She was still very observant of him.

Where to sleep at night became a problem again. When she walked into Guangtian Hall, she saw Lan Chu busy packing up. When she found out she was back, she said, "My lord, look at this room. It's really grand. Behind the screen is a small golden and red flat bed. The floor is covered with a fine mat and a thick felt on top... The cabinet doors over there are all covered with golden flowers..."

It's not that I haven't thought about it, but what is this? Just to relieve his heat, like helping him dress up? He took a breath, "Are you offering yourself for the bed? If you are blessed, you will be a concubine in the harem, you know that?"

Yes, the prince felt that he had done it so obviously, how could she still stare at him and ignore him? He was a little shy, hoping that she would continue, say more, and preferably express her love for him, and that she also liked him.

Is he really as difficult to deal with as the rumors say? Xinghe thought to himself, and stepped forward. The arrow path was a bit long, nearly fifty steps away. As he got closer, he gradually saw his face. This general had been trained on the battlefield, but he didn't have the fat on his face like the thousand households of the Control Rong Division. He had even eyebrows and eyes, and had the demeanor of a Confucian general. It may also be that he had returned to Beijing for many years and had long been well. The prince said he was thirty-seven or thirty-eight, but he didn't look that old, at most in his early thirties.

There was a uniform sound behind her, she covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and quickly walked out of Zhaoyu.

There was a uniform sound behind her, she covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and quickly walked out of Zhaoyu.

But her subsequent words made him feel frustrated, like falling from heaven to hell. She was sympathetic, "You are indeed not young anymore. Prince Min's concubine is going to give birth next month, and you are still a virgin. This is unacceptable. I know you have high standards, and you are also worried if you can't find the right one for the time being. But people are old, and they can't hold back their needs. You spoke the truth after drinking, and you said things that you were embarrassed to say at other times. You said it hurts to hold it back, and I can't blame you for feeling bad. I can't let my master feel hurt. If you are willing, use me to relieve your pain. Anyway, my reputation is so bad in this life, and it's not easy for me to get married. Even if it is confirmed, it doesn't matter."

Xinghe handed the hand warmer to Ye Jinchun, and then he lifted the corner of his robe and walked into the gate. After passing the Taishan screen wall, there was a huge training ground behind. The Privy Council was different from other government offices. It was a military office, and occasionally took on the responsibility of escorting the emperor when he traveled, so there were often various types of drills, and it was necessary to prepare such a field for the inspection of the envoys.

She entered the military control office and went straight to the prison. The thousand households had worked hard all night and had already dug out all the ten houses. She sat behind the long desk and flipped through the records, which roughly stated the properties, fields, and number of servants. Looking through them one by one, each place was distributed very evenly. It seemed that Cao Zhan was a fair person.

Xinghe saw that he was crying and was helpless. Calculating the time, her period would be in the next two days. If she really caught a cold, it would delay things a lot.

A girl, is she willing to give it up like that? The prince suddenly felt discouraged with himself. He finally got drunk, but he didn't say a word of what he had been thinking about. He said it hurt to hold it in

A woman took the lead in shouting, and the prison was immediately in chaos with children crying and girls wailing.

As she said this, the prince suddenly felt as if his underwear had been opened. Did his drunken behavior finally let her see the clues? In this way, she was not stupid. Sometimes she just pretended to be confused. She was still very observant of him.

He couldn't accept that he was such a superficial and stubborn person. Who hurt him? Why didn't he get to the bottom of it? There are many reasons why a woman is willing to sleep with you, some for money, some for fame. Xinghe was for love, she was for the friendship of childhood friends, which is more sincere than the brotherhood between men.

Xinghe stepped on it and looked up. There was a person standing on the archery path. He was very tall, wearing a moon-white robe and light golden armor. She knew that the chief and deputy envoys of the Privy Council were dressed differently. Xinghai was wearing a red robe and silver armor, and the chief envoy was wearing the one in front of her. She thought Xinghai's outfit was already very heroic, but when she saw the chief envoy, she inexplicably felt an irreversible sense of frustration. Some people can make people afraid even if they just stand there quietly.

Xinghe was a little confused, not knowing whether the question "Has it grown up" meant growing in age or the chick growing up.

The ferocious guards kicked the door open and came in. They were rough men, used to doing bad things, and never knew how to be gentle with women. They tied a hemp rope into a grape knot, twisted the woman's head horizontally, and tied her mouth tightly. When the people around saw it, they panicked and hugged each other. The tortured woman struggled to kick her legs, but this time she couldn't say any more complaints, only long and short sobs, like the low singing on the stage.

When he returned to his room, the eunuch had already heated up the kang again. Xinghe washed herself and lay down. There were many things to do tomorrow, one after another, so she was too busy to even take care of the imperial edict from the Taiji Palace to crown her as the queen.

She was impatient to listen any further, so she told her to pack up and go back to the women's quarters.

The pure silver hairpin was not very valuable, but she was still cautious. "I will report it to the chief steward tomorrow and ask him to send someone to look for it carefully. It doesn't matter if it can't be found. I will report it to the Eternal Court and tell him that I lost a hairpin and report it to him."

The prince looked at her sadly, "Thank you for your dedication. I appreciate your willingness to do this. But I can't sleep with you for free. You don't need the reward, and you don't want the title. How can I pay off this debt? It doesn't matter whose concubine has a child. Anyway, you have a lot of wives and concubines at home, but you don't have a son. I'm not in a hurry. Wait a little longer. When the dust settles one day, there will always be an explanation." He looked outside, "It's getting late, you should go back and rest."

The lieutenant asked her to wait for a moment, and hurried into the government office to report. Xinghe waited calmly, and looked inside. Inside the dark gate stood a large screen wall, blocking the scene inside.

She hesitated, trying to recall, "When you were about thirteen or fourteen, you were still wearing clothes, standing behind the screen, and you were invisible. I didn't really see you. Besides, some people may not grow up when they are old, so I don't think it's easy to answer your question."

After all, there were hundreds of people to feed. Although the annual salary of a general was 4,200 dan, it was not low, but it was a drop in the bucket to feed so many mouths. In today's world, cats have their own ways and dogs have their own ways. If the court officials let the king of hell account, I wonder what the emperor would think if he knew about it.

If a person lives without temper, even gods can't save him. She was impatient to stay in this stinking place for a long time, so she turned around and ordered the guards: "Watch these people carefully, don't let them make any noise, and don't let them talk in private. If anyone violates the rules, they will be punished according to the example, as long as they don't die."

Xinghe's face turned cold, "What happened? How did you become an orphan and a widow again?"

He turned slightly to the side and stopped looking at her. Xinghe stood there for a while with regret, remembering that he said he had someone he liked. Although she didn't get him to say it, that person must not be her. Her good intentions had gone to waste. Since this was the case, there was nothing she could do. She bowed to him and then left the front hall.

Xinghe looked at the group of women and sighed deeply. Then he looked at the children, big and small, and couldn't understand why someone would be willing to be a concubine and share a man with a bunch of women.

Lan Chu was confused, "What should I do? Will someone pick it up?"

She smiled innocently, "I didn't mean to do that. The incident with Yue Ting was caused by his father, and I just happened to be there. As for you, I took care of your daily life. When I wasn't on duty at the Ministry of Military Affairs, I was the one who delivered the fumigated clothes to the Clothing Bureau every time. It's no big deal if I bumped into you once or twice. You are the master, and I am the servant. In the eyes of the master, servants are the same as cats and dogs, and cannot be considered human beings. Have you ever seen anyone carrying a cat or dog while changing clothes? Later, not only did you not carry me, you also asked me to wipe your body. What's the matter? Take it easy, don't be embarrassed."

Where to sleep at night became a problem again. When she walked into Guangtian Hall, she saw Lan Chu busy packing up. When she found out she was back, she said, "My lord, look at this room. It's really grand. Behind the screen is a small golden and red flat bed. The floor is covered with a fine mat and a thick felt on top... The cabinet doors over there are all covered with golden flowers..."

The prince felt that he couldn't talk to her properly. He looked at her and sighed heavily. He looked at her again and sighed again.

Is he really as difficult to deal with as the rumors say? Xinghe thought to himself, and stepped forward. The arrow path was a bit long, nearly fifty steps away. As he got closer, he gradually saw his face. This general had been trained on the battlefield, but he didn't have the fat on his face like the thousand households of the Control Rong Division. He had even eyebrows and eyes, and had the demeanor of a Confucian general. It may also be that he had returned to Beijing for many years and had long been well.

Yes, the prince felt that he had done it so obviously, how could she still stare at him and ignore him? He was a little shy, hoping that she would continue, say more, and preferably express her love for him, and that she also liked him.

It's rare to see such a comparison. The prince thought about it and it seemed to be the truth that neither of them would suffer. But I felt bad for not showing her the best state. When we have that kind of relationship in the future, I must let her understand what it means to grow up, and I guarantee she will be shocked.

Xinghe stepped on it and looked up. There was a person standing on the archery path. He was very tall, wearing a moon-white robe and light golden armor. She knew that the chief and deputy envoys of the Privy Council were dressed differently. Xinghai was wearing a red robe and silver armor, and the chief envoy was wearing the one in front of her. She thought Xinghai's outfit was already very heroic, but when she saw the chief envoy, she inexplicably felt an irreversible sense of frustration. Some people can make people afraid even if they just stand there quietly.

She was impatient to listen any further, so she told her to pack up and go back to the women's quarters.

She refused repeatedly, "My lord, I appreciate your kindness, but living alone in Guangtian Palace is a serious crime..."

"But this is the order from the Crown Prince..."

Xinghe turned around and looked at her, "What's wrong?"

"But this is the order from the Crown Prince..."

Yes, the prince felt that he had done it so obviously, how could she still stare at him and ignore him? He was a little shy, hoping that she would continue, say more, and preferably express her love for him, and that she also liked him.

"But this is the order from the Crown Prince..."

Xinghe took a step closer, watching the rough hemp rope tighten around her pink cheek, causing it to bleed. She gritted her teeth and smiled, "When the Military Control Department handles cases, we never listen to cunning and only look at the facts. The case hasn't been investigated yet, why are you in such a hurry? If you are innocent, we will naturally let you go home, and we will never intentionally make things difficult for you." She said, her cold eyes sweeping over the heads of the crowd, "I heard that there are widows of fallen soldiers among you. You were all praised by the court and received salaries from the court. If you have an affair with a man outside, not only will your reputation be ruined, but even your life will be in danger. With such a big house and a bunch of servants, there is no wall that is impenetrable in the world. And the child, is it left by your late husband, or is it the result of an affair with someone else? Now that you have entered my Military Control Department, I will naturally find a way to make you tell the truth, so don't be in a hurry."

I thought the man's roar was like thunder, but I didn't expect the female official's ruthless tone to be as powerful as a thunderbolt. Strangling is already the lightest punishment, and it's like pulling out the ribs and digging out the liver. If someone dies, then he's dead. If anyone wants to overturn the verdict, there are a hundred ways to make the death be justified.

A girl, is she willing to give it up like that? The prince suddenly felt discouraged with himself. He finally got drunk, but he didn't say a word of what he had been thinking about. He said it hurt to hold it in

He carefully considered and observed her expression, "Su Xinghe, all your childhood friends cannot escape your peeping, right?"

The prince felt that he couldn't talk to her properly. He looked at her and sighed heavily. He looked at her again and sighed again.

She said, "Do you know what the crime of overstepping the boundaries is? It's punishable by death! If you don't want to be tried in the Ye Ting Bureau tomorrow, go back quickly."

Xinghe saw that he was crying and was helpless. Calculating the time, her period would be in the next two days. If she really caught a cold, it would delay things a lot.

As she said this, the prince suddenly felt as if his underwear had been opened. Did his drunken behavior finally let her see the clues? In this way, she was not stupid. Sometimes she just pretended to be confused. She was still very observant of him.

After entering the house and relighting the candles, all the personal belongings were emptied out, and the empty house was particularly deserted. Lan Chu continued to take out the valuables from the bag bit by bit and put them back, muttering, "My Lord, you are too picky. What are you afraid of if the prince tells you to? Do the Yiting Bureau dare to ask you about it? If they have the guts... Eh—"

"But this is the order from the Crown Prince..."

If a person lives without temper, even gods can't save him. She was impatient to stay in this stinking place for a long time, so she turned around and ordered the guards: "Watch these people carefully, don't let them make any noise, and don't let them talk in private. If anyone violates the rules, they will be punished according to the example, as long as they don't die."

Ye Jinchun caught up with him and said earnestly, "Sir, you'd better take the sedan chair. It's snowing so heavily that it's blinding. It's almost the New Year, what if you catch a cold? The prince has repeatedly told us to use the sedan chair when going out. If I don't do my job well, the prince will punish me."

Lan Chu stuck out his tongue, hurriedly put away the small items, and he and Xinghe each carried a bag and went to the women's quarters.

She slammed the table hard, "Asshole!"

When he returned to his room, the eunuch had already heated up the kang again. Xinghe washed herself and lay down. There were many things to do tomorrow, one after another, so she was too busy to even take care of the imperial edict from the Taiji Palace to crown her as the queen.

Xinghe leaned over to take a look. Because of the prince's unkindness last time, her shrimp-whisker hairpin was basically no longer used. She originally wanted to go to Ruyi Pavilion and ask a silversmith to re-make the whiskers, but later she gave up because she was busy. Now it is lost. After searching for a long time, she couldn't find it. It's not good to lose such a close-fitting thing, so she went back to Guangtian Palace with Lanchu. But after searching for a long time, the hairpin seemed to have grown wings and disappeared.

The Courtyard for Imperial Concubines was not far from the Guangtian Palace. It was the place where people waited to be summoned. If one hurried, they would arrive there soon.

Since she doesn't want to be with him, what's the point of having an affair? He was slowly getting angry, "So, are you sleeping with me, or am I sleeping with you?"

Xinghe took a step closer, watching the rough hemp rope tighten around her pink cheek, causing it to bleed. She gritted her teeth and smiled, "When the Military Control Department handles cases, we never listen to cunning and only look at the facts. The case hasn't been investigated yet, why are you in such a hurry? If you are innocent, we will naturally let you go home, and we will never intentionally make things difficult for you."

Now that you have entered my Military Control Department, I will naturally find a way to make you tell the truth, so don't be in a hurry."

After waiting for a while, the lieutenant came out to answer, and said respectfully: "Master Huo invites Master Su to come into the yamen to have a chat." As he spoke, he stepped aside, bowed and gestured, "Please."

Xinghe stepped on it and looked up. There was a person standing on the archery path. He was very tall, wearing a moon-white robe and light golden armor. She knew that the chief and deputy envoys of the Privy Council were dressed differently. Xinghai was wearing a red robe and silver armor, and the chief envoy was wearing the one in front of her.

Lan Chu was confused, "What should I do? Will someone pick it up?"

The prince felt that he couldn't talk to her properly. He looked at her and sighed heavily. He looked at her again and sighed again.

She put on a smile and bowed to him from a distance. Huo Yan stood still like a mountain, and only the bright red tassels on both sides of the purple-gold hairband fluttered in the wind. For such a cold person, the only thing that seemed alive was the hairband.

According to the old etiquette, the Guangtian Hall in the East Palace is the prince's bedroom. Lizheng Hall has been used for office work in all dynasties. The prince was diligent, or maybe lazy, so he merged the two places into one, and Guangtian Hall was completely unused. It seemed a bit excessive to let her live there now. She was just a female official. Living in the prince's bedroom so openly, although she did have an incomparable desire for power, she still didn't dare to do so with such obvious ambitions.

Xinghe saw that he was crying and was helpless. Calculating the time, her period would be in the next two days. If she really caught a cold, it would delay things a lot.

However, he was really cold and indifferent. He didn't smile or speak. He just looked at her coldly as she approached. When she came to him, he saluted and said, "Sir Su." His voice was also cold, like bronze hitting each other, with a chilling aura. Perhaps he felt that it was not good to keep people at a distance like this, so he reluctantly said, "I heard Xinghai mention that there is a younger sister at home. Seeing her today is worth my life."

She smiled innocently, "I didn't mean to do that. The incident with Yue Ting was caused by his father, and I just happened to be there. As for you, I took care of your daily life.

Take it easy, don't be embarrassed."

Lan Chu searched through the three-layer jewelry box, "Your cicada hairpin with the broken whiskers is missing."

When I got up the next day, the snow had stopped, but the sky was still gloomy, pressing down on my head and making it hard to breathe.

Jin Ci also agreed with Ye Jinchun, "You are not like us. We joined the army when we were in our teens and jumped into the frozen river naked in the twelfth lunar month to learn skills. In weather like this, it's like playing. Girls are weak after all, so you'd better be more careful."

She said, "Do you know what the crime of overstepping the boundaries is? It's punishable by death! If you don't want to be tried in the Ye Ting Bureau tomorrow, go back quickly."

She entered the military control office and went straight to the prison. The thousand households had worked hard all night and had already dug out all the ten houses. She sat behind the long desk and flipped through the records, which roughly stated the properties, fields, and number of servants. Looking through them one by one, each place was distributed very evenly. It seemed that Cao Zhan was a fair person.

She didn't understand. Xinghe had been in the Control Rong Division for so long, and some things had to be prevented before they happened. Your things sometimes represent you, and you can't let them go if they are lost. Whether they are valuable or not is secondary. If they appear in a place where they shouldn't be, it will be difficult to deal with.

"Who said you should live alone?" The prince interrupted her, "I will move to the back too. This way I will be closer. If you are dismissed from your post in the government office, you can also take care of the affairs of the Eastern Palace. It's like killing two birds with one stone."

Xinghe leaned over to take a look. Because of the prince's unkindness last time, her shrimp-whisker hairpin was basically no longer used. She originally wanted to go to Ruyi Pavilion and ask a silversmith to re-make the whiskers, but later she gave up because she was busy. Now it is lost.

Throwing the whip back, she said with a smile, "This little leaf is afraid that I will freeze to death every day. How can it be so delicate?"

It's rare to see such a comparison. The prince thought about it and it seemed to be the truth that neither of them would suffer. But I felt bad for not showing her the best state. When we have that kind of relationship in the future, I must let her understand what it means to grow up, and I guarantee she will be shocked.
