Guizhen

Chapter 14 Another Ribbed Calender Paper
Lu Zhen had long wanted to listen to Feng Wushuang's storytelling.But she didn't pass through Yangzhou from Taoxiangu to the capital, and she didn't find a proper excuse to go to Yangzhou.It's good now, you can feast your ears without traveling and traveling.

Lu Xuan summoned Dr. Tea, brewed a pot of Shangmeng Ding, and added a few dishes of Danyanlou's specialty dim sum to Lu Zhen's hand.

For girls, snacks are indispensable for listening to books and watching shadow puppetry.

The arrangements were properly made, and Feng Wushuang got to the point.

Today I'm going to tell you a story about a lady who met an unkind person and was tortured by a white-eyed wolf husband.Lu Zhen sipped her tea and listened with gusto.Lu Xuan shook his head again and again.

How could there be such a heartless man in the world?Once you have married a wife, you should treat her well.If you can't, just don't marry.Why treat people harshly?

When it came to the fact that the ladies finally made up their minds to make up with the romantic man, Lu Zhen clapped her hands and applauded.Looking at her little face flushed with pride from the characters in the story, Lu Xuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

I have to find a stronger husband for sister Zhen.To put it bluntly, it's a fight.The kind that can't be done without the power to restrain the chicken.One is not beaten, not resistant to beating.Eryi, after being beaten unilaterally for a long time, sister Zhen must be tired of it.It's fun to spar once in a while.While pushing the plate containing amber walnuts towards Lu Zhen's hand, Lu Xuan secretly made up his mind.

After Feng Wushuang finished speaking, he went on to rest for a while.Lu Zhen's beautiful Danfeng eyes were shining brightly, and she sincerely praised: "Mr. Feng really lives up to his reputation."

"You think it's good, just reward him with a piece of silver." Lu Xuan raised his voice to call out, but it was a strange face who pushed the door and entered.His attire doesn't look like someone from Danyanlou.Without waiting for Lu Xuan to ask questions, he reported his family name, "Slave servant girl, I have seen Master Lu Si and Miss Lu Fifth."

Those who call themselves slaves in the capital can only be from the palace.Except for the eldest brother, their family has nothing to do with the people in the palace.Lu Xuan hummed, waiting for Woer to explain why he came.

"Three days later, His Majesty held a banquet in the palace to welcome the magic envoys who went to other places to select warlocks. The world's warlocks are one family. Your Majesty originally wanted to invite Zhenren Pei to have a happy reunion, but Pei Zhenren is still in Peach Fairy Valley." Er said earnestly, "So, Miss Lu Wu will attend on behalf of Zhenren Pei." He held a jade plaque in both hands and sent it to Lu Zhen.

Lu Zhen's fingers lightly slid across the jade tablet, and the tentacles felt cool.It was actually the emblem of the Eastern Palace.

His Majesty hosted a banquet, and the East Palace came to invite people.This is interesting.She grabbed the jade tablet and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's grace is mighty, what virtue can Lu Wu have?"

Wo'er also laughed, "Your Majesty values ​​you, so naturally you deserve it."

……

"This matter..." Old Master Lu bent his fingers and flicked the jade plaque, "It's not easy."

Lu Guan, who was sitting at the bottom, glanced at Lu Zhen worriedly.She was wiping the talisman pen with a soft towel, with a calm expression and a faint smile in her eyes.

Lu Zhen was very happy.Regardless of Yuan and Emperor's purpose.It would be great for her to be able to enter the palace just after returning to Beijing.After all, if they want to find out what happened that year, Yuan and Emperor are hurdles that cannot be avoided.

Sooner or later, she would have to face it, and she would rather the sooner the better.

At this moment, Emperor Yuanhe held a piece of ribbed calendered paper with his fingertips, and wrote the word "Yizhu".

Lu Siliang, the left capital censor of the Procuratorate, frowned, and said cautiously: "I suspect that the person who sent this note must know the inside story."

Yuan Hedi hummed lightly.

"Among the cases handled by the minister, only Gu Huaide's case involved heirs." Lu Silang carefully considered his words, "But... Grandma Gu really only gave birth to one son, and the other one was suffocated to death in her stomach. He and Wen Po have been checked repeatedly, and they will never..."

He swallowed hard the word "mistake".Now is not the time to be sure.What's more, Gu Huaide is a great national teacher.Who knows if he cast spells secretly?
Gently poking the faintly fragrant seal with his fingertips, Yuan Hedi hummed again.

"However..." Lu Silang considered his words carefully, "It is also possible that someone deliberately provoked trouble and wanted to use the word 'remaining pearl' to eliminate dissidents."

Yuan Hedi smiled nonchalantly, "These two words alone can't cause trouble." His eyes suddenly became deep, and the smile on his lips disappeared, "Unless... there are really descendants of the Gu family alive."

The biggest hidden danger is that weeds cannot be removed by root.

Lu Silang deeply agreed, "Your Majesty is wise."

Emperor Yuanhe was too lazy to listen to his flattery, waved his hands, and said, "You go. You don't need to do the rest."

Lu Siliang hurriedly responded, and said some interesting things that happened in the capital recently, and then left the palace.

He walked forward, and Gao Tang, the commander of Wu Dewei, was called into the palace.

Yuan Hedi only ordered him one word, "Check!"

As for what to check...

That would be too much.Gao Tang is an easy-to-use and caring knife.Yuan Hedi never doubted his ability.

"Return to your order within three days." Emperor Yuanhe said in a deep voice.

Gao Tang lowered his eyes and looked at the paper in his hand, nodded in agreement, "I take orders." It took three days to check the old affairs.But it is enough to clarify the general outline.

……

"It's enough to dress decently when you enter the palace. The gaudy clothes will only make people tired." Mrs. Lu looked at the two sets of dresses hanging on Nanny Dai's arms seriously, "Let's go light yellow. Sister Zhen's skin is fair, and light yellow It looks pretty. It's pretty sweet." The old lady pursed her lips and kept laughing, "It's as pretty as a flower."

She just loves to dress up Miss Jane.The boy was handsome and looked good in any color.

"Fifth Miss is prettier than flowers." Nanny Dai said with a smile while wrapping the light yellow dress.He ordered his maidservant to send it to Lu Zhen.Lu Zhen came before the maidservant had left the door of Yannian Hall.

Seeing that she was wearing a blue-gray Taoist robe, Mrs. Lu couldn't help complaining, "Girls should dress up as brightly as possible. You wear this every day in Peach Fairy Valley, and you haven't worn enough?"

"Grandmother." Lu Zhen sat next to the old lady Lu, holding her hand, "This time I'm going to the banquet as a trick, and I'm sure to show off during the banquet. I'm wearing a Taoist robe, right?"

The old lady Lu couldn't help her acting coquettishly, so she immediately smiled with a tense face, "It's up to you, everything is up to you. But there is one thing, you must remember to hide your clumsiness. Those magic tricks are not good friends. Yes, if you can do it, you can't do it."

Lu Zhen smiled sweetly, "Just don't worry."

She is worried!Sister Zhen has never seen the sinister heart.The old lady Lu patted the back of Lu Zhen's hand, "Be careful in everything."

……

The Great Zhou Dynasty continued the practice of the previous dynasties, and older officials or wives could take a small sheep cart when they entered the palace.A girl like Lu Zhen has to rely on two legs.

Jin Xichun, who was leading the way, could tell that Lu Zhen knew the rules just by the sound of her footsteps.

A group of envoys had already had two cups of tea in the side hall of Wan'an Palace.Ever since Gu Huaide's head was beheaded, he had never hosted a feast alone like this time.Before that, Emperor Yuanhe would also call them into the palace for banquets, but they were all accompanied by civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

It was so beautiful back then, but looking at it now...it is simply a world of difference.

Zheng Kun put down the teacup and pursed his lips in silence.
