Time flies by, and in the blink of an eye it is already two days later.
Yingzhou City.
State government.
In the back hall of the Yamen, Tang Ju, the governor of Yingzhou, was chatting with Biejia, Changshi and Sima among the Yamen officials.
Tang Ju sat comfortably on the chair, drinking fragrant tea happily, put down the tea cup and said with a pleasant smile:
"After the handover of prisoners and food with the Liao Kingdom is over, the princess should be leaving for the capital, right? After all, the princess's mission has been completed."
Biejia nodded and said with a smile: "Who says it's not the case? Once the princess leaves, our life will be easy."
Changshi joked:
"Before, the princess moved to our city twenty miles north of Yingzhou City and set up camp. We were afraid that the princess would point her fingers when she entered the city..."
Sima took over and said: "But the result is that after the princess moved into that camp, she never moved again... Our worries are really unnecessary."
Tang Ju took another sip of fragrant tea happily, leaned back on the chair, and relaxed, not to mention how comfortable he was.
He waved his hand, and after everyone stopped discussing and turned their heads, he supported the armrests of the chair with both hands, stood up and said with a smile:
"That's true. The princess has lived in the camp for so long and has never visited the city. It is expected that the princess will not enter the city before returning to the capital. We can..."
"..."
Before he could finish his words, a petty official suddenly broke into the back hall and reported angrily: "Princess Lanling has entered the city! The princess has entered the city!"
Princess Lanling has entered the city? !
When he first heard the bad news... No, when he first heard the sudden news, Tang Ju was caught off guard. He didn't pay attention to his feet when he turned around, causing him to stumble and fall directly to the ground.
boom!
The sound of the body's intimate contact with Mother Earth reaches everyone's ears.
The little official looked stunned, his eyes widened, feeling incredible. Princess Lanling had just entered the city, why did the Tang Governor... fall to the ground in fright?
He was about to come forward for help.
But at this moment, he accidentally raised his eyes and discovered the figures of the other three big guys in the yamen.
Biejia is in charge of the affairs of Erzhou, oversees all affairs, and judges all Cao Cao. He is the fifth rank, and is the first deputy to the governor of the Tang Dynasty. But what is Biejia doing now?
He was seen drinking tea from a teacup and holding the teacup in front of his eyes. He seemed not to have seen the scene where Tang Governor fell.
Chang Shi is in charge of the affairs of the two states, keeping track of all affairs, and judging Cao Cao. He is the sixth rank, and is the second deputy to the governor of the Tang Dynasty. But what is Chang Shi doing now?
He turned his head sideways and was looking carefully at a vase next to the chair with a serious look on his face. He seemed not to have seen the scene when Governor Tang fell.
Sima is in charge of the affairs of Erzhou, oversees all affairs, and judges all Cao Cao. He is under the sixth rank. He is the third deputy to the governor of the Tang Dynasty. But what is Sima doing now?
Although he stood up, his back was turned to the fallen Governor of Tang Dynasty, and he was admiring a calligraphy work on the wall. He was nodding his head when he saw it, and he was particularly immersed in it...
Seeing this, the clerk was startled for a moment and then suddenly realized.
No wonder he is a big boss like Bie Jia, Chang Shi, and Sima. He is just a petty official, because the realm of being a human being lies there...
He immediately stopped and lay prone on the ground, pretending to have seen nothing.
Tang Ju groaned after falling to the ground. His old bones were not easy to fall. Fortunately, Bie Jia, Chang Shi, Sima and others were all around him. They should come to help him.
"Um?"
However, after he lay on the ground for a while, Bie Jia waited for someone to help him instead of saying that he had not seen him. He drank tea, looked at vases, and admired calligraphy and painting.
Tang Ju was startled for a moment, then suddenly realized——
Emotionally, they all thought that he fell just now because he was frightened after hearing the news that "Princess Lanling came to the city", and his legs were weak from fear, so he fell.
not like this!
Tang Ju wanted to shout loudly and defend.
His mouth opened and then finally closed without saying anything. This kind of thing can easily become darker and darker. Explanation is tantamount to covering up...
That’s it!
He got up alone with a wry smile, patted the dust on his official robe, straightened his black gauze hat, coughed, looked at the clerk and asked pretending to be calm:
"Where is the princess now? Where has she gone?"
"Reporting to the envoy, Her Royal Highness the Princess entered through the North City Gate and went directly to Dongcheng Street." The clerk still lowered his head and did not dare to look at Tang Ju.
"Dongcheng Street..." Tang Ju's face moved slightly. He knew that Su Xian's new residence was on that street.
He ignored the embarrassment just now and ordered loudly:
"The princess must have something important to do when she enters the city, so we will rush there immediately."
"..."
at the same time.
Su Mansion.
Su Xian was "lazy" at home for another two days. After he attacked Princess Lanling's breast under the pitch-black curtains that day, he returned home and never left the house again.
Liu Huixiang was naturally filled with joy.
Spending every day with her husband was like a fairy to her, but as time passed, her old problem of "wanting to be a good wife" began to recur.
This morning, after dinner, the two of them went fishing next to the lotus root pond in the Fuzhong Garden.
Liu Huixiang threw down the fishing line, turned to look at Su Xian and advised: "My husband won't go out these days..."
Su Xian thrust the fishing rod into the ground, held Liu Huixiang beside him in his arms, and said with a smile, "Wouldn't it be nice for my husband to stay at home with you?"
"Good or good..."
Liu Huixiang's body stiffened slightly. She turned around and saw no one around her, and then her delicate body relaxed.
She was thinking about how to admonish Su Xian, but suddenly she heard Su Xian whisper in her ear:
"Madam, show it to your husband."
Liu Huixiang panicked, turned around and looked around again, breathed a sigh of relief and frowned, "It's still daylight, how about waiting until night?"
"No, my husband wants to see it now!" Su Xian's tone was domineering, and Liu Huixiang froze immediately. When Su Xian saw this, he smiled and peeled off the "obstacle" on her body.
After a while, Su Xian got what he wanted and nodded: "The jade cover paired with lace is indeed a classic among classics, perfect!"
After he finished speaking, he sat there deep in thought, seeming to be thinking about patterns and color matching.
Seeing this, Liu Huixiang hurriedly arranged her clothes and asked with a worried look: "My husband said the day before yesterday that this thing was... stolen from the princess. Is anything going to happen?"
Su Xian came to his senses and said with a smile: "Do you like it, madam?"
"Of course I like it...but..." Liu Huixiang remembered the day before yesterday when Su Xian mysteriously gave her this thing and said it was stolen from the princess.
"As long as Madam likes it, this is just a semi-finished product. There are still many areas that need improvement..."
"Moreover, the princess has never moved since she moved into the camp. Madam, are you still worried about her going into the city to find trouble for her husband?"
"..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Cuihua suddenly ran from a distance, waved and shouted:
"Miss Young Master, Princess Lanling has entered the city and arrived at our house. She has already arrived at the door of the house!"
