As soon as Sikhland left, Lin Ke came over.
"Master Fang." Linke said politely: "The one just now was the deputy captain of the Guards under King Daleko, but he can't be offended."
You Miao nodded, knowing that Lin Ke was indirectly reminding him in this way, and replied with a smile, "I see."
"It's good to know." Lin Ke said with worry in his eyes, "Business is so good today, I still have some things to do here, I have to go to Da'an Commercial Salt Factory to prepare a tax book in the afternoon. It just happened that someone came to the palace in the morning and asked to send some tea in the past two days. If Young Master Fang is not busy..."
"Naturally willing to do it for you." You Miao knew that Lin Ke had found an opportunity to let him enter the palace.
Lin Ke handed You Miao a wooden sign and said, "Master Fang goes to Xiling Palace, give the wooden sign to the gatekeeper, and then you can enter."
You Miao nodded hurriedly, took the wooden sign, turned around and left with Li Zhifeng.
It was not too late to deliver tea in the afternoon. You Miao returned to the inn with Li Zhifeng first. As soon as the door was closed, he breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"Sikland." Li Zhifeng said: "This person is strong on the outside and hard at work, and he is good at martial arts and brave."
"Dogs that can bark don't bite." You Miao's fingers still hurt a little, she shook it, nodded and said, "You know him?"
Li Zhifeng pulled You Miao's finger and wanted to give him medicine, but You Miao waved his hand and said nothing. Li Zhifeng sat down, recalled the past, and said, "There was a fight when I was a child. His master. Never met again."
"Have you seen any of these people today?" You Miao asked.
Li Zhifeng nodded, hesitated a little, and shook his head again: "There are a few vaguely remembered, but I can't name them."
Many years have passed, and most of Youmiao Xindao and the two sides do not recognize each other. It should be that someone actually saw the coral in their booth, so they brought the Quanrong people over to buy them, but the Quanrong people bought the coral, what's the point? gift
You Miao thought about Sikhland's invitation, whether she should go to the banquet.
If he was going to the banquet, Li Zhifeng would definitely follow him, and Daleko should be there. As soon as the two brothers, Daleko and Li Zhifeng, meet, Daleko cannot be expected to recognize them. Even if there is such a fluke, it must not take the risk.
You Miao was really embarrassed. After discussing this issue with Li Zhifeng for a long time, they agreed that Daleko could not be concealed.
"Actually, you can try." Li Zhifeng said.
"Not necessarily." You Miao said, "Your eldest brother should have been obsessed with you all these years... You two brothers shed the blood of the same father, and your eldest brother is always worried about your sudden appearance in front of him. Now that you appear, I guarantee he'll recognize it right away."
"He won't be obsessed with me." Li Zhifeng said casually.
"You forgot the third brother?" You Miao said, "He is the best example."
Li Zhifeng had no choice but to keep silent. The two thought and thought, but they couldn't come up with a good solution, so they had to put it on hold for the time being, so as not to provoke Sikhland.
After You Miao had lunch, she took the wooden sign and went out with the tea leaves.
The Xiling Palace in Da'an was originally the palace where Emperor Tianqi once lived. When the East Hu was most prosperous a thousand years ago, Da'an was the capital and a powerful empire was established. have moved to the West.
Xiling has been renovated twice by Donghu and Goryeo, and it is rare that it has not been damaged by war. When you went to Da'an last time, You Miao had never entered.
The entire palace, as the Northern Hunting Palace that has experienced generations of emperors, still retains the iconic pure white exterior wall. There were many Tatar cavalry patrolling outside the palace gate. You Miao got off the carriage and walked on the road in front of the palace. He and Li Zhifeng held the carriage, handed out the wooden sign, and went all the way to the palace.
Seeing that they were Han Chinese, the guards didn't feel embarrassed. They only ordered a few Tatar words, and they were supposed to not run around and look around, so they led them to the side hall.
Although the Xiling is not as elegant as the Central Plains Palace, it also has an exotic style. When the guards brought the two to the palace, You Miao was surprised to find that the place where he stayed was the castle where He Motieer lived. Now it has been renovated again by the Tatars and is included in the scope of the Xiling Palace.
As soon as the guard brought them in, a maid was waiting by the side. You Miao handed in the list, which contained tea and other items, but he was not busy presenting his things to Queen Baoyin, and planned to talk about it in the future.
The maid took the list away, and asked You Miao and Li Zhifeng to wait in the side hall drinking milk tea. This time, the treatment was completely different. You Miao still remembered the predicament of being arrested by He Motie the last time. He couldn't help but look up at Li Zhifeng.
Li Zhifeng smiled and nodded, and the two sat in the hall.
"Where's Lin Ke?" A female voice sounded.
A woman in luxurious clothes came with a maid and met You Miao and Li Zhifeng, both of whom were stunned.
You Miao got up hurriedly and said with a smile, "Fang Sheng has seen Princess Lan before."
The girl looked at You Miao up and down, her eyes narrowed, and she said with a smile, "You know I'm Princess Lan again?"
You Miao said: "Lin Da Gothically explained it."
The person who came was Lan Moyin, the niece of Empress Dowager Baoyin. You Miao learned from Lin Ke that Lan Moyin was twenty-two this year, and she was unmarried so far, and she was quite favored by Empress Dowager Baoyin. It must be a little more diligent. You Miao came prepared this time and did not hide it in the slightest. She was dressed in luxurious clothes, with a face like a crown of jade, a jade tree facing the wind, and the appearance of a dignified aristocratic son. Compared with the warriors Lan Moyin had seen before, it was different.
"Brother Lin has something to go to Shangyanfang today." You Miao said slowly, "Let me come over and deliver tea."
Lan Moyin nodded lightly and didn't say anything, then sat down next to her, You Miao thought about it, and said casually, "Princess Lan speaks Chinese really well."
"My name is Lan Moyin, not like your Han surname is Lan." Lan Moyin said sternly, "Our surname is Leke'er."
Only then did You Miao understand, and nodded gently: "I don't know, Your Highness forgives my sins."
You Miao knew that she could not be called a princess because of her identity as Lan Moyin, but she simply called it that. Lan Moyin was not surprised. He said again: "Last time Uncle Lin Ke said that there are still goods arriving this year. When will they be sent to the palace?"
You Miao thought that there was still this problem, and replied without hesitation: "Yes, this time I brought a lot of things, and I didn't know what the princess and the queen mother loved. Just let them bring the goods and show them to His Highness first?"
Lan Moyin thought for a while, then replied, "I'll talk about it tomorrow, it's not very convenient for the Queen Mother today."
You Miao got up and said goodbye. Lan Moyin planned that You Miao would have to pester her, and asked a few more questions. Which businessman in Zhongyuan didn't rush to court her when he saw her? Why has You Miao asked three questions and answered one sentence
However, You Miao knew that Lan Moyin was always being held in Daan, so she did the opposite. Lan Moyin was not a girl with a plan. , away from Xiling Palace.
"You can't do this." After coming out, Li Zhifeng said to You Miao, "She will hate you."
"She won't hate me." You Miao thought for a while with a smile, and said, "She will hate me a little bit, but more out of curiosity."
Li Zhifeng asked, "Why don't you do the same thing as before?"
Li Zhifeng is very clear about what You Miao asked. He knows that if You Miao really wants to please someone, he will be able to make people submissive easily. However, You Miao also knows in his heart that most of the time, the gentry in Jiangnan are polite to him. But it was because of the situation, not really being picked up by him.
"I don't want to do that with the Tartars." You Miao said truthfully: "After all, now, we are trying to make them disappear."
You Miao was telling the truth. First of all, he didn't like women. If he got involved with Lan Moyin, it would be difficult to do later. Second, he didn't want to involve too much complexity in this secret operation. Lan Moyin's status was investigated long before he came. This woman is the niece of the Empress Dowager Baoyin. She is a Tatar warrior and has never been engaged. She is very curious about the culture of the Central Plains of the Southern Dynasty.
Back at the inn, You Miao and Li Zhifeng rested for the night and exchanged information with Lin Ke. Lin Ke was surprised to learn that You Miao had replaced the tea from the caravan, and was actually sent green tea to the palace.
Lin Ke said: "The last few times I came to send Oolong... This..."
You Miao said indifferently: "Well, if the palace doesn't like it, just change another kind of tea, we have more."
Lin Ke did not dare to disobey You Miao, so he stepped back respectfully, You Miao opened the window and glanced at it, it was snowing outside.
