When Fang Zilan came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she was in a trance. Many things were rolling over and over in her mind, passing through her mind like a revolving lantern——
For example, in recent days, hundreds of officials have been writing letters, raising questions about the ownership of the white jade tiger talisman in the name of choosing a son-in-law for Princess Rongan; Mo Han is uneasy and heard that the girl he admires has not shown up for several days; the royal post does not know whether it is true or not. There was no movement from Princess Rongan, and she said nothing about choosing a son-in-law, with a respectful and humble attitude. According to Awan, King Rongan tried to contact the ghost gate, but the ghost gate never paid attention to him...
In addition to the things around him, the Di Rong delegation is about to arrive in Beijing. I heard that they brought a princess with them as a gift. Less than a year after Li Qiyou married two Di Rong princesses, Di Rong's tribe unexpectedly sent another princess. I wonder what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd?
Also, Chu Bin has already left for the southeast. I wonder if he can find out the mess in the southeast during this trip? But regardless of whether he was found out or not, she just hoped that he would be safe.
For some reason, when she thought of Chu Bin, she suddenly felt a tightness in her chest. The scene on the day of separation was still vivid in her mind. Chu Bin said a lot of words, which was very much like explaining the funeral arrangements. She still feels scared when she thinks about it now.
So as soon as Chu Bin left that day, she asked Xiao Xuan'er to send a message to Wan Jun and Zhen Mi'er, asking them to use Qianjinfang's power to secretly watch Chu Bin. At the same time, she contacted Zhou Lang at the Southeast Camp and asked him to pay more attention.
Not only that, she also greeted Fang Lihui and asked the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce and the wealthy gentry to help take care of her. Even Wang Shen and Yun Qinghan, the couple who had received her favor in the southeast... everyone she could think of received her invitation. Please.
But even so, she still felt uneasy, and what Fang Chongzheng said to her just now made her almost breathless.
The so-called peaceful age cannot be achieved by a war or a few people. Under the superficial prosperity, there are still many invisible battles and a few people who work hard for it.
Although Prime Minister Fang Chongzheng is still in the government, he seems to be ignoring things. He wants to invite Su Heng to come out. How much of it is for the sake of the capital, and how much of it is out of selfishness? No one knows.
Fang Zilan only knows that if Fang Chongzheng retires, the people of the former dynasty who stand in the light will be gone, and the people of the former dynasty who are hiding in the dark will be ready to make a move.
The tree wants to be still but the wind doesn't stop...
Fang Zilan stopped and slowly closed her eyes. The wind blew by her ears, bringing with it the warmth of spring, and blew catkins all over the ground. The sounds of children playing from far to near, and the sound of horse hooves...
This is? Fang Zilan suddenly opened her eyes and looked back, only to see Di Rong's delegation marching towards the palace in a mighty manner. The guards who opened the way were arrogant, their horses held their heads high and their chests were high, and they stepped towards her direction arrogantly.
There were two children three steps away from her. They seemed to be petrified by this scene and had no intention of evading. They still stood there blankly.
She didn't have time to think too much, she took the two children one by one with one hand, stepped aside, squatted down and said warmly: "Are you okay?"
Only then did the two children react and burst into tears, which made Fang Zilan at a loss. Before asking any more questions, he saw a few boys and girls hiding in the alley aside, and they all let out a sigh of relief. One of the girls ran over quickly, saluted and thanked Fang Zilan, and then pulled the two children away.
After sending the people away, Fang Zilan stood up and thought to herself that the Di Rong delegation would not enter Beijing until the day after tomorrow. How come it has arrived today? Two days ahead of schedule, could it be...
"Where did you come from? Don't you understand the rules?" A sharp shout interrupted Fang Zilan's thoughts. She turned around and looked over. The guard who opened the way spoke a not very fluent Beijing dialect and looked impatient, "Di Rong Do you dare to block the mission’s path?”
Fang Zilan raised her eyebrows and gave him a funny look. Not to mention that the Di Rong delegation entered the capital in advance. The guards in the capital had no time to evacuate the crowd and clear the main road, so they said that the Di Rong delegation dared to enter the capital of the capital. It is unprecedented for Zhong to show off his power and scold the people of Beijing for not knowing the rules.
"Why don't you reply?" The guard raised his whip, "Are you mute?" He was about to swing his whip, but was knocked off his horse by a sudden stone.
"Who is it?" The Di Rong delegation immediately became alert. The guards in the capital who were following the delegation and responsible for escorting them were also shocked. They did not hear clearly the argument in front of them. They only saw the guard who opened the way fell from his horse, and he There was a blocker who appeared out of nowhere in front of me.
Seeing this, the guard commander came quickly and heard a loud voice, "General Zheng Yan of the Duke of Yue State came late to protect the Lord. Please forgive me, Lord Fang."
The Duke of Yue? The commander immediately got off his horse and knelt down before he could see clearly, "I didn't know that the Duke of Yue was here, so I offended you so much. Please forgive me, the Duke of Yue!"
Hearing this, the members of Di Rong's delegation also dismounted one after another. The guard who fell to the ground dragged his injured leg, crawled to the ground and knelt up straight, begging Fang Zilan, "I don't know if you are the Duke of Yue, I deserve to die... …”
"Everyone, get up." Fang Zilan snorted coldly, "I don't have the dignity to ask the Di Rong delegation to make way for me."
As she said this, she looked at Envoy Di Rong who hurriedly got out of the carriage. He was the same person who came last year. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurried to her, "Mr. Yue Guogong, long time no see..."
"Long time no see." Fang Zilan interrupted the envoy Di Rong's words unceremoniously and said in a drawl: "Speaking of which, the Di Rong envoy will come to Beijing the day after tomorrow..."
"What the Duke of Yue said is true." Di Rongzheng envoy said: "Princess Erya came to the capital for the first time, and she was extremely fascinated by the capital, so the delegation worked hard and arrived early."
"Princess Erya?" Fang Zilan recited the name in a low voice, raised her head and glanced at the driver behind her, and then said: "Okay, come into the palace quickly, don't keep His Majesty waiting."
"Thank you, Mr. Fang!" Ambassador Di Rong said and waved. The members of Di Rong's delegation mounted their horses again. The commander who was kneeling on the ground also stood up and stepped aside, but he still couldn't help but glance at Fang Zilan.
"Princess Erya?" Fang Zilan recited the name in a low voice, raised her head and glanced at the driver behind her, and then said: "Okay, come into the palace quickly, don't keep His Majesty waiting."
"Thank you, Mr. Fang!" Ambassador Di Rong said and waved. The members of Di Rong's delegation mounted their horses again. The commander who was kneeling on the ground also stood up and stepped aside, but he still couldn't help but glance at Fang Zilan.
"Princess Erya?" Fang Zilan recited the name in a low voice, raised her head and glanced at the driver behind her, and then said: "Okay, come into the palace quickly, don't keep His Majesty waiting."
"Thank you, Mr. Fang!" After saying this, Di Rong Zhengzheng waved, and the Di Rong envoys mounted their horses again. The commander who was kneeling on the ground also stood up and stepped aside, but he still couldn't help but glance at Fang Zilan.
