noon.
Xiao Hongdou and Zhong Lilin were not in the palace, and Han Dongwen suddenly felt that he had no place to go.
Usually at this time, Han Dongwen had nothing else to do. He usually just walked around and took a nap. He waited until the Taishu Pavilion booklet was delivered after noon before starting to read it.
When he couldn't rest, he often went to Taishu Pavilion, but now Zhong Lilin was not in Taishu Pavilion. If he went there, Wen Yongxing was no longer a pavilion elder, but suddenly became a teacher. It was inevitable that he would have to go to Taishu Pavilion again. Taught him a lesson.
The rare fishing time has actually become boring.
"It's better to be busy..."
Han Dongwen crossed his legs and leaned on the marble chair in the stone pavilion in the back garden, looking around with some wan interest. Several palace maids on duty stood behind him, showing no intention of answering.
This is a bit boring. If it were Xiao Hongdou, it would be inevitable to start chatting with him at this time, or tell him some things he experienced in Bianzhou when he was a child.
He sighed, lowered his head and fumbled with the armband he wore on his left hand. Since Prince Zigao gave it to him, it has never been put to use.
Now that Tilda discovered from Gascon's relics that Prince Gao had hidden something from Simeng and Xia, can she still trust what he gave her?
"Who do you want to see this afternoon?"
Unable to bear the silent atmosphere, Han Dongwen pondered for a moment and asked.
The maid behind him immediately spoke up and carefully replied: "Your Highness, this afternoon I have Mr. Tantai Ming of the Wound Department of the National Military Department asking to see you. In Taishu Pavilion, dinner will be shared with the concubine, and there are no other arrangements for the time being. "
"The royal concubine?"
Han Dongwen was stunned. He didn't remember that he had made an appointment with Jiang Keyin.
The palace maid replied: "Yes, your highness, the coming month is the day of the concubine, the emperor of Yitang. The empress may have made an appointment with your highness for this matter."
"Two seven..."
Han Dongwen pondered and struggled to translate this sentence in his mind.
If the ancients had many rules, then the noble ancients had even more rules.
The concubine's ceremonial hall is Jiang Keyin's mother.
The title of Zhou Jun was automatically held by Jiang Keyin's mother after she was made a princess. If Chi Hanqing's mother was not a princess, she would not be able to catch up with the title of Zhou Jun, and could only be the Yi Jun.
Translated into human language, what the palace maid said is that Jiang Keyin's mother's fourteenth year of mourning will be next month. As the princess and daughter, she has to discuss some matters with her husband, Han Dongwen.
It's the National Defense Department in the afternoon, and Jiang Keyin in the evening, but there might be something going on over at Unit 1...
Han Dongwen thought for a moment and stood up abruptly: "Let's go to Tianchi Palace now."
In this harem, he never needs to make an appointment for where he wants to go, and he never needs to ask if anyone is free. As soon as he said this, the maids and servants below have already informed him and sent a message. By the time he stood at Tianchi Palace At the moment at the door, Jiang Keyin must be dressed up and waiting for him.
This was one of the few times when he could feel secretly happy. It was a pity that Jiang Keyin was not such an easy-to-serve master, otherwise he would be able to put on a show by running over from time to time.
——————————
Outside the palace.
The courtyard of the National Military Command remains as solemn as it has been for decades, and the guards' rifle blades always glow with a cold light, just as oppressive as the black and red flags beside the school field.
Except for Tantai Fu himself, few people can use this school grounds on weekdays - those who can protect the General Directorate must be the elite of the National Military Division, but even so, the place is still kept spotless, and lights are still lit at night There are fire towers at the four corners of the southeast, northwest and northwest.
But today there are more soldiers in the General Department of National Defense Forces.
In addition to the original two teams of eighteen guards, there were an additional ten or so people standing at the gate of the General Secretary's Mansion. Although the armors they wore were also of the National Military Department standard, they were not as shiny as those of the General Secretary's guards. People in the National Military Department system can see that these people are "foreign soldiers" and definitely belong to the General Department.
Towards the back of the main hall of the mansion, Tantai Fu sat in his majesticly decorated living room, looking at the woman standing in front of him.
She has a slim figure, a high ponytail tied up casually, and delicate facial features, but there is no makeup or smile.
It was Yang Churan, the captain of the National Army Division.
"What's the matter with Siyang Lai?"
Tantai Fu's tone sounded a little strange, as if he was not as dignified and eloquent as usual.
Yang Churan in front of him didn't even look at him. He just glanced at the weapon Tantai Fu placed on the shelf. After a long while, he turned his eyes to his boss in front of him.
"Uncle Tantai."
She pulled up the chair in front of Tantai Fu and sat down.
Ordinary women, as juniors and subordinates, should not be flattering when calling people, but should be more cordial.
But there was no expression on Yang Churan's face at all, as if Tantaifu's name was "Uncle Tantai".
"I heard that His Highness is going to Haizhou?"
She has a bad attitude, but she speaks straightforwardly.
Tantai Fu, who was almost thrown away by Yang Churan, didn't react at all. His expression became stiffer and he nodded: "I just heard about it. It has not been arranged before. It should be done on a whim."
"It's great to rise up and do this."
The corners of Yang Churan's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a sneer: "What about the ship that leaves Siyang Royal Harbor?"
"She is a favored maid of His Highness and the eunuch of Taishu Pavilion."
Tantaifu answered quickly. He raised his eyes and looked at Yang Churan. The two people's eyes were staring at each other, with no intention of giving way.
"His Highness likes a palace maid, so he lets the palace maid play like this. This is the happiest thing for a woman in the world."
Yang Churan said in a strange tone.
Tantaifu's expression became even worse and his voice became darker: "Chu Ran, could it be that you still..."
"No, it has nothing to do with your noble master."
Yang Churan shook his head, immediately cut off Tantai Fu's words, and said with an indifferent expression: "Young Master Tantai ruined the marriage. Master Tantai has been worried about me for so many years. Shouldn't I be happy that I didn't marry him?" ?”
This question was asked like a hedgehog, and Tantai Fu couldn't answer it no matter what.
"Qi Men and Xue Gang have supported each other for many years. The last time His Highness succeeded, Xue Gang was very dissatisfied."
Yang Churan spoke again: "Uncle, you don't want your young master to see that actor again. I understand. You want to scare the troops and ask me to take action. I also listened to your advice and burned the ship. Now that the blood harbor has suddenly become like this, then Can I finally ask you now why you agreed to the emperor's request?"
Tantai Fu leaned back slightly and his expression became serious: "Now that the Director General of National Finance has left the Dingfa Pavilion, and the little sister of the Jiang family has become the princess, times are not as good as before, and His Highness is not as good as before. Foolish."
"Oh? The fact that the National Finance Director was able to leave the Dingfa Pavilion and Jiang Keyin became the concubine, didn't it all happen under your eyes? Mr. Director?"
The sarcasm in Yang Churan's retort was not concealed at all. Tantai looked at her with retro well-like eyes, without any expression on his face.
The Guobingsi Jingbu is the Guobingsi Jingbu, and the Daqimen is the Daqimen.
Since Tantai Ming broke up the marriage, out of his debt to Yang Churan and the Daqimen, Tantaifu gave Yang Churan a green light for his career in the National Army. And Yang Churan was obviously not a white rabbit, and he bit him in one bite. Today's situation.
Daqimen is like the local emperor of Haizhou, and most of her national military commanders are from Daqimen.
If the National Military Division is a pack of wolves, then Tantai Fu, as the wolf king, is now a little weak, and the first one to show his teeth is naturally the young and strong Jingbu Daqimen.
Problems that have not yet been solved cannot be used as a reason for weakness. This is the principle that Tantai Fu has followed for so many years.
In order to maintain Qiushui Villa and protect Chi Hanqing, he had no choice but to give up the position of concubine coveted by Prince Taka to the Department of National Justice. For the sake of his family's personal grudges, he could only let someone else take Tantai Ming's place in the assault against Blood Harbor. .
The reason why he agreed to Han Dongwen's provocation to Blood Harbor was that he smelled the bloody smell of an internal rebellion opportunity in this tiny gap.
And this obviously cannot be said to Yang Churan.
"The relationship between you and Blood Harbor is just to make money."
He pondered for a while and then said: "Your Highness has taken back the five cities of Bailan Mountain, so how do you know that Blood Harbor will be safe in the future?"
