"Elder sister, why bother? I'm stupid, I don't know." Yang Xianrong felt tired and saw the yokan soup getting cold before he took a sip. If he didn't drink, Liu Yao couldn't drink either, so he would have to wait with a bowl, which would be very uncomfortable.
"It's just the last question. Let's have dinner after answering it." Princess Pingyang finally spoke.
"Green bamboo." Yang Xianrong said simply.
At this moment, Princess Pingyang looked at Yang Xianrong as if she had seen a ghost, opened her mouth, and then pursed her lips.
"Hey, you want to ask me why I know it, right? It's simple. After I entered the palace, Manager Zhang sent two people over, one is Zhang Liangxue, he must not be the same, and the other is Luzhu who is responsible for my makeup. She is also about the same age. She is not young anymore, and she is the kind of person who is dead in the palace and will not go out. In addition, her martial arts must not be weak, and she is probably a master, but she has not had a chance to show it yet." Yang Xianrong held up her hand. Bowl, "Let me take a sip first."
Princess Pingyang had already laughed, and her expression was much softer and kinder than before.
After taking a sip of yokan soup, I felt much better. Yang Xianrong glanced at Liu Yao and motioned for him to drink quickly. Liu Yao smiled without being particular and poured the whole bowl into his mouth.
"Luzhu served Jia Nanfeng before, which actually proves that you also intended to hand over this command to her. It's just that her behavior became more and more erratic, and it got out of hand in the end. You may have thought at the time that you were lucky not to hand it over. So. , on the first day I entered the palace, she hurriedly sent the green bamboo to me... She acted like a confident person..." Yang Xianrong suddenly laughed again and turned around. He glanced at Cui Xi and signaled Cui Xi to drink some first. Cuixi pursed her lips, but picked up the remaining half of Yang Xianrong's bowl and drank it.
"So, you deliberately let her be beaten by the emperor?" Princess Pingyang suddenly asked, "It wasn't her..."
"Yes, I can't destroy her prestige with my own hands, so I naturally have to borrow the help of others." Yang Xianrong made no secret, "Don't she understand? The two maids brought from my parents' family to spy on me are a bit too much. Is it okay?"
The box suddenly became quiet again. No one spoke, but everyone was thinking about what Yang Xianrong said. Especially Princess Pingyang, there was a hint of surprise and panic in her eyes. This was not obviously talking about her, because she was the one who sent Green Bamboo to Yang Xianrong, with the intention of spying on Yang Xianrong's various affairs.
There was another waiter at the door serving food, and he knocked gently on the private room door. The sound was as loud as a firecracker exploding in the box. Mao Hongmao wanted to beat him, so he just opened the door a crack, took the two bowls of ice cream, and quickly closed the door.
When Yang Xianrong saw the ice cheese coming, he smiled and said to Liu Yao: "Brother Liu, take it quickly. You have to drink this while it's cold to make it taste better."
Mao Hongmao's hand paused for a moment, then handed the two small bowls to Liu Yao, who had already extended his hand. Liu Yao placed one bowl in front of Yang Xianrong, took the other bowl himself, took a bite with a small spoon and tasted it. Because I just drank hot yokan soup, and now I took a bite of cold yokan soup, my teeth hurt a little, and I couldn't help but "hiss".
"Hey, hot and cold alternate. Please drink it slowly." Yang Xianrong touched his bowl. It was really cold.
Princess Pingyang had already handed the jade ring into Yang Xianrong's hand and said softly: "I will keep it for you for the time being. After these things are over, I will reconsider whether I really give it all to you."
"Okay." Yang Xianrong put the ring on her finger, but it was too big. Her fingers were slender, and they felt a lot richer after putting it on. After thinking about it, he wrapped it in a silk handkerchief and handed it to Cui Xi. "Then let's eat now, you speak slowly."
Princess Pingyang also picked up the chopsticks and sighed lightly. After Mao Hongmao saw it, he quickly ran to her side, picked up the chopsticks and helped her pick up a large piece of spiced fish, and gently picked up the fish bones on it with the chopsticks, very seriously. It seems like he does this all the time, without any hint of surprise. Because Princess Pingyang didn't think anything was wrong and waited patiently for Mao Hongmao.
When she was young, Princess Pingyang fell in love with General Hua and begged her father to betroth her to him. But Sima Yan disagreed. He said that although General Hua had great military achievements, he was too young and had a bad temper, so he was not a good match. However, Princess Pingyang still often interacts with General Hua secretly and refuses to break the fate.
When Sima Yan learned about this, he was very angry and directly married Princess Pingyang to the eldest son of the Hedong governor. This man was a scholar who was obsessed with calligraphy and painting all day long and didn't care about the struggle for power at all. But Princess Pingyang didn't like it. She had grown up in political struggles since she was a child. How could she marry a man who seemed extremely unmotivated?
But in the end, she got married and lost contact with General Hua.
However, she did not expect that this scholar seemed to have no enterprising spirit, but secretly analyzed the situation in Dajin very thoroughly, and repeatedly told her about the crisis and the way out, and she quietly told her father. That's why she regained her father's favor and gave her the command of the Embroidered Clothes Envoy, asking her to do her best to help Prince Sima Zhong secure the throne.
General Hua later married and had a daughter. Sima Yan was also very kind to him. Until he died in battle, he was willing to take orphans and widows into the palace. Princess Pingyang also thought that although she could not be with General Hua in this life, if she Being able to take good care of his widow and daughter is worthy of him.
Who would have known that something like this would happen? By the time she got the news and rushed back, Huazhi and the others had already disappeared. She had a big quarrel with her father, Sima Yan, and complained about why he wanted to break off the engagement because he wanted to force the mother and daughter to death.
Sima Yan knew her thoughts very well and said bluntly: "If someone poisoned this matter, who do you think did it? The prince? Fourteenth? If it is really found out that brothers killed each other, what do you want me, the emperor, to do? Who to kill? If you really care about your father, don’t investigate! Unless I investigate again a hundred years later."
"Then how can we check?" The young Princess Pingyang was unwilling to give in. "How are the mother and daughter going to survive?"
"Why do you care so much?" Sima Yan was unhappy. He took a picture of the case and yelled at her: "These sons of mine don't have a fuel-efficient lamp. If you really find the poisoner, then what will happen?" The one who dies is me!"
Princess Pingyang did not dare to say any more, nor did she dare to investigate further. Until her consort died of a sudden illness, according to the rules, she waited for Sima Ying to get married before entering the palace for a short stay. But when she encountered such a thing, she couldn't help but think about the past again and wanted to check it out.
