"What happened just now?" Yang Xianrong has recovered a lot.
Cuixi quickly helped her put on the complicated dress, and then said: "Just now, Chief Zhang came over and said that the beautiful woman drowned."
"Ah?" Yang Xianrong almost fell down, and his heart started to pound again.
"Girl, don't be afraid." Cui Xi saw Yang Xianrong's face turned extremely grim and hugged her quickly, "It's okay, it's okay."
"How did she die?" Yang Xianrong felt relieved in Cuixi's warm and strong embrace.
"Drown in Yingliu Lake. It is said that there is a shakuhachi in his hand."
"...I'll go take a look." Yang Xianrong clenched his fists.
"Don't go, of course someone will take care of it." Cuixi disagreed, "Besides, the beautiful woman is not good to us. I still remember the day she came to see her, but she refused to kneel down and salute. She relied on herself and Are the emperors the same age?"
"Don't say that. She is old, so naturally she is reluctant to see me." Yang Xianrong also remembered the situation that day, "But the emperor seems to be very good to her."
"The emperor has been very kind to everyone recently. I heard that he can visit seven or eight concubines in one day... Just sit here and take a look. It seems that the beautiful lady has been spending a lot of time here." Cui Xi thought about it. Thinking, "It takes longer than here."
"You know all this?" Yang Xianrong finally laughed, "They were all led astray by the green bamboo."
"Hey, she knows the most, and she often tells us." Cui Xi saw that Yang Xianrong's demeanor returned to normal and let her go. "Eat some hot food and wait and see what Mr. Zhang says."
"Okay." Yang Xianrong tidied up his clothes, "Let's go to the Peony Garden to have a look. It's really noisy."
"Yes." Cuixi poured hot tea for her and put it in her hand.
When Sun Xiu came to Tianyuan Palace, it was already lunch time.
He actually brought a lot of delicacies from Mingyue Tower, which were still steaming hot. Even Yang Xianrong, who was not hungry at all, couldn't help but sit down again, holding chopsticks and thinking about which plate to eat first.
"Rong'er looks like a greedy little cat." Sun Xiu's attitude towards her became more and more kind, and even showed a doting expression, "I thought you liked Mingyuelou's food, so I quickly made a reservation. Come here with some and eat quickly, don’t let it get cold and it won’t taste good.”
"Cousin, let's come together." When it comes to delicious food, there is no distinction between superiority and inferiority. Yang Xianrong first picked up a piece of fried meat and put it in his mouth.
Cuixi on the side said anxiously: "Queen, please burn it carefully."
"It's okay, it's okay." He said vaguely, but he was very happy in his heart, "Cousin, eat it, it's really delicious!"
"Rong'er... I heard that you vomited yesterday, but are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Sun Xiu suddenly asked.
"Yesterday?" Yang Xianrong was stunned and looked at Cui Xi, "I vomited?"
"Yes." Cui Xi held chopsticks in one hand and dishes in the other. She put another piece of roast mutton in front of the sheep and put it in front of her eyes. "Yesterday you took a bite of venison and disliked the smell. You almost spit it out, but Not completely throwing up.”
"Oh, yes, that venison is really unpalatable." At this time, she was very happy eating the roasted lamb.
"Can you call an imperial doctor to come over and ask for Ping An's pulse?" Sun Xiu asked again.
"No need, right? It just doesn't taste good." Yang Xianrong didn't take it seriously. He ate another piece of mutton, his eyes became smiling.
"Have you had a nightmare this morning? Why does your little face look thinner?" Sun Xiu's concern was palpable. Lian Cuixi paused for a moment before continuing to serve the sheep and pick up vegetables.
"It's okay, I just had a nightmare." Yang Xianrong smiled and said to Cui Xi, "Hurry up and get some meat and vegetables for my cousin. Don't let him talk all the time. If he gets hungry later, it's me who should blame me. My granddaughter treated him badly."
"Yes." Cuixi moved very quickly to pick up the food for Sun Xiu, and she saw that his bowl was piled up into a small mountain.
"Rong'er, how can you eat so much?" Sun Xiu also smiled kindly, and the grandfather and grandson were also smiling and warm.
The sound of drumming in Peony Garden started again, and this time everyone could hear it.
Cheerful and festive.
"Is it really noisy this time?" Yang Xianrong asked Cui Xi.
"There are some. Because the door is open, please go and close it."
"That's not necessary. This piece of music sounds pretty good, and it's a bit high-spirited." Yang Xianrong listened attentively, "It sounds much better than what I played."
"Rong'er, this is the musician that my cousin has found for you. He entered the Peony Garden last night." Sun Xiu said with a smile, "It's definitely not possible to improvise, but if you stand there, it's okay to make up the numbers. What's more, , there is a new musician who is really good at playing, and you know him."
"Who is it?"
"It was Liu Yao who saved you that day. I heard that he was really good at bragging, so I asked Master Mao to find him." Sun Xiu tried his best to eat a big mouthful of food, without any restraint, as if he was at home. , "His two brothers also brought in roast lamb, they must want you to perform well at the Great Winter Banquet."
"Ah? Did you really get them in?" Yang Xianrong was a little at a loss, "I just talked to them that day..."
"Rong'er, those who do big things don't stick to small details. You shoulder not only the responsibility of the Yang family, but also the wealth of our Sun family. Dong Yuanhe and Zhu Mo have already gone down, who knows who else will come up in the future? My cousin can I’m sending you to the highest position, and I hope you can stand firm!”
Sun Xiu's words were straightforward. He was afraid that Yang Xianrong was too young to understand, so he gave special instructions: "The imperial doctor still has to be invited. The most important thing is to conceive the emperor's heir as soon as possible."
"Ah?" Yang Xianrong blushed instantly.
It turns out that's what he meant.
"Rong'er, don't let down our hard work." Sun Xiu said more and more earnestly, which made Yang Xianrong feel extremely stressed.
"Okay." She has to bear everything after all, because now she is the only one.
"Later, you go to the Peony Garden to meet them. You still have to discuss the specific matters." Sun Xiu felt that the words had reached this point. Yang Xianrong was not a fool. Naturally, he understood everything, so he changed The topic was, "The beautiful woman's body has been sent out, her family is also in trouble, and nothing will happen for the time being."
"Cousin, several people died in Yingliu Lake one after another. Is it an accident or a coincidence?" Yang Xianrong asked.
"Do you think there is something wrong?" Sun Xiu touched the long beard on his chin, "King Zhao wants to investigate, but he also thinks it will be after the Great Cold Banquet."
"Are we afraid more people will die?" Yang Xianrong glanced out the window and saw snowflakes falling.
