Lin'an is thousands of miles away from the capital, half of which is mountain roads, and it takes three days and nights to ride a fast horse. If you drive slowly or walk on foot, the number of days cannot be counted.
After Qiuyue left a letter in Huayan's place, she also climbed the tall, bald apricot tree trunk that had grown for a hundred years and had her lower body pruned to the west wall, stepped on the ladder Zheng Erhu gave her, and went out without disturbing anyone. Went to Huafu.
Zheng Erhu took 35,000 taels of silver from Huayan, 30,000 to 20,000 taels went to pay off his gambling debts, and 5,000 taels was used as the first step to send letters to the capital.
Zheng Erhu happily took the apricot blossom branch on the road first, and he didn't even think about the fresh, delicate and blooming apricot blossom branch. Days have passed, what will it look like. In his opinion, Huayan took the initiative to go to the East Palace, which is a good thing. Compared with him helping her escape and being convicted, the sporadic flaws are simply negligible.
As for the implication of Huayan sending the apricot branch to the prince, he didn't even think about it. In short, he felt that this was a better job than ten years in prison.
When Qiuyue saw Zheng Erhu walking on the road carrying an apricot blossom branch, the corners of her mouth twitched again and again, and when she saw Huayan humming Jiangnan ditties, looking heartless, she planned to go to Beijing leisurely like this. She held back for a long time before she opened her mouth, "Miss, if you want to give prince flowers, you should also give peach blossoms. Why did you pick apricot flowers?"
With a piece of grass in her mouth, Huayan said while admiring the scenery on the roadside, "A branch of red apricot came out of the wall. I told him that I sneaked out."
The corner of Qiuyue's mouth twitched again, she was speechless for a while, she sneaked away confidently, and even used this method to send a message, but there was no one else.
She looked at Huayan, and suddenly became curious, "Tell me, what will the prince look like when he sees the apricot branch you asked Zheng Erhu to send?"
Hua Yan didn't bother to guess, "Never mind him, just deliver the letter."
Qiuyue was speechless again, thinking that Miss is really not afraid of throwing her broken pot in front of the prince, how many people in the world want to marry into the East Palace, not to mention being a concubine, even a concubine, they are afraid that they will squeeze their heads and bleed of. However, her young lady, when she heard about the marriage, was so angry that she almost tore down the palace wall of the East Palace. Later, she thought of countless ways to ruin the marriage. , Now, the world has long been rumored to be uproarious.
She has none of the gentleness, dignity, virtuousness, and ladylike temperament that a woman should have.
From childhood to adulthood, Miss is a person who doesn't care about fame, and has done many things one after another. It's just that they have been suppressed by the elders of the Hua family these years, so they didn't spread the word. If it had been spread out earlier, the queen mother probably wouldn't let the imperial painter come to the Hua family.
It has been a year since Yizhi bestowed the marriage, and the marriage has been put on the agenda, and the young lady has not been able to get the prince to cancel the engagement. On the contrary, now, I am going to the East Palace to familiarize myself with the rules of the environment in advance.
Sometimes she doesn't understand why His Royal Highness chose her lady. If she said she didn't know what she looked like before, she was selected according to the roster, and she didn't know the ridiculous things about the lady, that's all. But this year, Even the elders of the Hua family couldn't suppress the incidents caused by the young lady, but the prince helped to suppress them. This is obviously a decision, and this marriage cannot be broken.
In terms of family background, the Hua family is only a middle-class family, although it is not impossible to rank among the major families in the world. In terms of Miss's conduct, she has been with her for many years and doesn't want to talk about it.
Hey, in a word, it is very difficult to understand.
"Why don't you talk anymore?" Huayan asked Qiuyue.
Qiuyue looked at her and said worriedly, "Although the East Palace is not a big deal, I'm afraid the Queen Mother in the palace will deal with you. When the imperial painter came to Anhuadu to draw pictures for you and put them in the roster, you didn't want to be in the roster. The queen mother was very dissatisfied when the book covered her face. Later, there was an affair with Mr. An of the Anyang Prince's Mansion. The queen mother knew that the roster was almost destroyed. Although the prince resolved the matter with a few words, the queen mother couldn't help the prince to decide on you, but after that Then fell ill. For more than a year, although the Hua family and the crown prince have worked together to keep the things you have done together, it must have been difficult to hide the truth from the queen mother. This time the crown prince took you into the palace to familiarize yourself with the rules of the East Palace and the royal family. After you enter Beijing, the Empress Dowager will definitely make things difficult for you."
Huayan didn't take it seriously, "It's good to make things difficult, but I'm afraid she won't make things difficult."
Qiuyue looked at Huayan, "Then always think of a countermeasure in advance, otherwise, you will suffer."
"Sufficient." Huayan chuckled, reached out to knock Qiuyue on the head, "You think too much."
Qiuyue rubbed her forehead helplessly, "Miss, the queen passed away early, the prince was brought up by the queen mother, and it is said that she respects the queen mother very much, if you don't want to suffer, you will definitely offend the queen mother. Although you have not made the prince tired of canceling the engagement this year, but If it's about the Empress Dowager, the Crown Prince is afraid that he won't turn to you again, so it's over."
Huayan looked up at the sky, "Isn't it what I want when it's over?"
Qiuyue was completely speechless.
The two of them toured the mountains and rivers all the way, walking slowly, and walked for more than half a month, but they still haven't arrived in the capital.
And Zheng Erhu kept Huayan's confession in mind, bought a good horse, ran fast for three days and nights, and arrived in the capital on the fourth day.
It is easy to go to the capital, and easy to find the East Palace, but it is difficult to hand over the apricot blossom branch to the prince face to face.
If the prince was so easy to see, there wouldn't be so many ordinary people sharpening their heads to see the prince's appearance.
Zheng Erhu wandered outside the gate of the East Palace for three days. The East Palace is too big and covers an area of many acres. He didn't know which door the prince went in and out of every day. Seeing that the branches of the apricot blossoms were so dry that there were only a few scattered dried flowers left, he realized later. Later, he realized that the thing Huayan gave him was not easy to keep, and it had a shelf life. He was really anxious that there would be a dry fork left, so he ran to Ronghua Street, the only way through the palace, to guard it.
After guarding for a whole day, finally at sunset, we arrived at the carriage with the license plate of the Eastern Palace.
He couldn't care about it anymore, he stopped the car and yelled, "The Crown Princess ordered the villain to deliver a token to His Royal Highness. Your Highness, stop here, stop!"
When he yelled in such a broken voice, everyone in the whole street heard it.
The guards of the Eastern Palace were all shocked, and the guards stepped forward in an instant, put their swords around Zheng Erhu's neck, and shouted angrily, "Who is that?"
Zheng Erhu was frightened, his body trembled a few times, feeling the cold blade on his neck could decapitate him in the blink of an eye, he boldly yelled in a vibrato, "The prince is sending a token to the princess of."
Donggong Fuwei had already heard it clearly earlier, but now he looked suspicious at his big, stupid appearance.
At this moment, a slender, white hand like jade stretched out from inside the carriage and opened the curtain, slowly revealing a Tsinghua gentle appearance, with eyebrows like ink paintings, eyes like spring water, pale lips, clear voice, with a hint of Wen Liang looked at Zheng Erhu and asked, "You are Lin'an Huayan, who was sent by the Crown Princess."
Zheng Erhu looked at the person who leaned out, although only half of his body was exposed, he was wearing a light blue soft robe and couldn't see the whole picture clearly, but he was stunned for a moment. Do you think this is the rumored His Royal Highness
It has the elegance washed in the turbid world, and it is like the cloud falling into the glitzy world in the sky.
this is the prince
prince
His face was blank, but his heart was overwhelmed with excitement, he finally saw the prince.
Seeing that he did not answer, the guards on both sides shouted angrily, "Bold and unreasonable, you will not kneel down to answer when you see the prince."
Zheng Erhu was woken up, and quickly knelt on the ground, held up the apricot branch, and said tremblingly excited that he almost wiped his bitter tears, "His Royal Highness, Caomin finally saw you. Caomin has been guarding outside the East Palace for three days. I stayed here for a day, and this is the apricot blossom branch that the Crown Princess asked the villain to send to you in Beijing."
Yun Chi looked at Zheng Erhu, and his eyes fell on the dry flower branch he held up high. After he finished talking, his eyebrows moved, and he asked coolly, "Apricot flower branch?"
Zheng Erhu nodded hastily, "Yes, it's exactly Xinghuazhi."
Yun Chi raised his eyebrows, "Hua Yan gave it to me"
Zheng Erhu nodded repeatedly.
Yun Chi stared at the dry apricot blossom branch and was silent for a moment, then said, "Bring it here."
Zheng Erhu hurriedly got up to hand over the apricot branch.
At this time, a guard pressed his neck with a knife, and shouted in a wooden voice, "Don't move, give me the apricot branch."
Zheng Erhu could only obediently knelt back to the ground and gave the apricot branch to the guard.
The mansion guard took over the dry apricot branch, checked it to see if there was any difference, and passed it to Yunchi.
Yun Chi took the apricot branch, looked at it for a while, and asked Zheng Erhu, "In addition to asking you to send an apricot branch, what other message did she ask you to pass?"
Zheng Erhu nodded quickly, "She said she asked me to give you the apricot branch, and let me tell you by the way, you don't need to send someone to pick it up, she will come by herself."
Yun Chi was playing with the dry branches, and a few wilted apricot blossoms fell in clusters when he took the apricot blossom branches into his hands. He looked at it and suddenly smiled, "She is understanding."
Zheng Erhu didn't understand what this sentence meant, and looked at Yunchi.
Yun Chi lowered the curtain with a wave of his hand, and commanded in a cool voice, "Let's set off and bring him back to the East Palace."
