When Mu Yuyan was still the princess.
Many dignitaries know that Princess Jiaqing has two maids by her side.
However, as for who they are, no one in the entire capital knows.
They had grown up with Mu Yuyan, and they were nominally monarchs, but in reality it was not an exaggeration to say they were sisters.
It's just that after Mu Yuyan ascended the throne, there were more political affairs to worry about, and they were all appointed to serve, so there was little time for fooling around.
Liu Yexi went to Xuantiansi because of his straightforward personality and not much thinking.
Concubine Xiao was charming and charming, and she also practiced music, so the empress built the Miaoyin Pavilion to praise her and made her the most beautiful woman in the capital. She served as the empress' direct spy in this place where three religions and nine streams gathered.
Both women control the intelligence of the government and the public.
It's just that one is in the light and the other is in the dark.
"Sister Xi, you are just a narrow-minded person."
When Concubine Xiao heard what she said, she put away her delicate attitude, gritted her teeth and said angrily: "If you have the ability, go and talk to His Majesty, and we will change it tomorrow!"
"I also want to see what kind of person the young master of "our family" you often mention in your letters is. Even His Majesty is fascinated by it..."
Liu Yexi often corresponded with her.
Naturally, the letter contained information about His Majesty's marriage and Gu Lan's life.
"Shh!"
Liu Yexi quickly covered her mouth.
"Don't yell, you don't know your Majesty's identity!"
"Oh, of course I know, I won't tell you."
Concubine Xiao broke away from her hand and raised her white chin: "As promised in the letter before, Mr. Gu's talent is astonishing. Did he agree to bring his works for me to reward?"
"Don't worry, I didn't forget!"
Liu Yexi wiped the saliva on her hands in disgust and took out a storybook of "Red Mansions" from her arms.
"Look carefully. Your Majesty and I worked hard for a long time to get this. If you break it, Your Majesty will dip you into the pig cage."
Speaking of which, Liu Yexi almost revealed his secret when he asked for this script.
Mu Yuyan knew her temperament and wouldn't like to see this kind of thing.
But on the contrary, Xiao Feier liked it very much.
When she was still a servant of the princess in the palace, she was very interested in the poems dedicated to the royal family, as well as musical scores, famous paintings, etc...
After all, she is a talented woman.
Even if you are not a talented woman, you cannot be an oiran!
Concubine Xiao was about to look through the storybook impatiently, but Liu Yexi held her down.
"Don't be impatient, there is still business to do."
"Oh, I almost forgot!" Concubine Xiao turned around and took out a letter from the cabinet. It looked quite thick.
"It contains various things that have happened in the capital in the past year and the real reasons. I have sorted them out."
Liu Yexi took it and shook her head: "It's not just this. I came here today to send you a message."
"What?"
"Tomorrow, the young master will come to Miaoyin Pavilion."
"What!" Concubine Xiao frowned and said in surprise: "Don't Gu Lan love His Majesty very much? Why would you come to Liuxiang with fireworks like this?"
"Don't get me wrong, Young Master doesn't know yet."
Liu Yexi looked at her with a puzzled look on her face, and then said: "Young Master is the Jieyuan of Langzhou City. Someone will definitely pull you to come here to take care of you."
"Your Majesty's orders, you must take care of them and don't let the young master suffer any injustice."
"understand?"
Finished talking.
Concubine Xiao's smile reappeared, charming and charming: "I understand... don't worry, this is my territory, and I will definitely not wrong your Majesty's husband!"
"Okay, then I'm leaving!"
Liu Yexi didn't stay long and immediately rushed to the next house to pave the way for Gu Lan to take.
Inside the Xiang Pavilion.
Concubine Xiao's beautiful eyes twinkled, and she was very interested in Gu Lan, whom she had never met before. She couldn't help but take the book "Red Mansions" and started reading it.
Gradually.
She was immersed in it unknowingly, her beautiful eyes sparkling with anticipation, and she was fascinated by it. It wasn't until the maid came to light the lamp that she woke up as if from a dream!
"Sister Concubine, what kind of book are you reading that makes you so fascinated?"
the maid asked curiously.
"nothing."
Concubine Xiao smiled, carefully placed "The Red Mansion" on the boudoir bed, and said to the maid: "By the way, tell mother that tomorrow... you can entertain guests."
...
In the blink of an eye, the next day.
Twilight.
Gu Lan and his party dismounted at Nan'anmen in the capital and walked along the long street full of flowers.
While experiencing the customs and customs of this Dajing capital city, I was looking for an inn to stay.
Compared to Langzhou City, the night market in Beijing is far more lively.
Gu Lan walked through the crowd, cars were flowing like water, horses were like dragons, shops on both sides were selling wine, and vendors were hawking. It could be said that he was enjoying the fireworks in the world.
In fact.
The reason why the capital is so prosperous is not without reason.
Different from other major dynasties, the people of Jingguo have always been proud of etiquette and simplicity. It is located in the Central Plains and has a prosperous population.
The capital city at your feet has a population of three million.
Even compared to the first-tier cities in the previous life, it seems to be comparable.
"It's getting late. Let's find an inn here first. Tomorrow we'll go to the Land Deeds Company to ask for a house."
Gu Lan turned around and said to several people.
"Everyone listens to Brother Gu!"
Zhongren held the maid in blue by the collar and raised his head to respond to Gu Lan.
Lin Tan'er herself looked longingly at the prosperity on the left and right sides of the long street, with a lingering look on her face.
"Sister likes it here? How about I ask my master to buy a house here for my sister later?"
The little Taoist priest Zhongren said very lickingly.
With the protection of Gu Lan and Lin Tan'er's great fortune, he didn't have to worry about divine punishment, and his child's nature gradually relaxed.
"Ah? Your master is so rich... But let's forget it. I am the young master's maid. I will be wherever the young master is."
Lin Tan'er smiled.
"Yeah... that's right, I will also live in Brother Gu's house from now on!"
"Brother Gu, are you tired from leaving? Can I get you some tea?"
Little Taoist Zhong Ren stopped smiling and looked at Gu Lan.
Although he enjoys the protection brought to him by the fate of the girl of destiny.
But he also knew it very well.
All of this is a gift from my family’s enshrinement, Brother Gu!
If you lick, you have to lick the key person.
Otherwise, the gain outweighs the loss.
"No need, we're at the inn ahead. Let's go to the store to buy some more food and drinks." Gu Lan smiled and shook his head, pointing ahead.
Yunjia Inn.
I took them to dinner.
At this time.
Less than half an hour after checking in, Gu Lan just wanted to take out the unfinished copy of "Three Hundred Poems" and finish it.
Suddenly, the waiter outside the door came to deliver a message, saying that an adult was looking for Gu Lan.
"I'm not familiar with the capital city, how could anyone come looking for me?"
Gu Lan slowly walked out of the inn with doubts in his mind.
in front of the door.
A middle-aged man wearing casual clothes, with a firm face and a darker complexion was waiting for him.
"Ah, is it Brother Gu?"
The man seemed a little surprised by Gu Lan's handsome appearance. He didn't expect Jie Yuanlang to be so handsome and handsome in life, so he asked this question.
Gu Lan nodded lightly: "It's me, who are you?"
One sentence exchange room.
Gu Lan had already observed that the man in front of him was a martial arts practitioner. His cultivation level was in the middle stage of a martial arts master. There were still calluses on his hands where he had been holding weapons all year round.
What is strange is that he speaks with a Langzhou accent.
"Ha, my name is Wei Zhi. I am from Langzhou. I am a fellow villager with Brother Gu. Now I am also the head of the Langzhou Association in the capital."
Wei Zhi explained cheerfully: "Many people from Langzhou have arrived a few days ago. We are just waiting for Gu Jieyuan to come today, and we will have a reception banquet together."
"Brother Gu, please don't refuse, otherwise I, my other brothers, and our folks in Langzhou won't be able to explain anything!"
