Chapter 33: Seeing is believing

"Famma, Jiamin, the child seems to have been out of love recently." Princess Shun'an was a little worried. "Did the last robber scare her?"
The cricket's pony said: "There have been many candidates coming to Beijing lately, and it's nice to stay at home honestly."
Princess Shunan glared at him and put the tea cup in the hand to the table: "I know playing cricket, believe it or not, the general who was raised by this palace..."
"Hush." ​​Yao Ma quickly sat up straight, nervously: "Don't talk nonsense, my cricket has been renamed."
The eyes of the husband and wife meet in the air, and it seems to recall something, Qi Qi no longer mentions the words "General".
"The princess, the pony, and the Fushou County Lord of the Flower House handed over invitations to invite the County Lord to leave the house." The next man brought in a greeting post.
Princess Shun'an took the bait and glanced at it, thinking about it and saying, "Go and invite the master to come out and say that Fushoujun sees her mainly."
"Who said you invited me?" Jia Min took the bait and glanced at it, shaking his hand and throwing the bait aside: "Just say I can't be empty, don't go."
"Governor, this is the meaning of the princess." The servant girl's expression was a bit embarrassed.
Jia Min grabbed the placard and strode to the front hall: "Mother, don't you tell me, is it far away from Hualili?"
"It's letting you move away from her, but now she invites you." Princess Shun'an avoided her daughter's angry eyes. "Then go."
"I won't go." Jia Min was embarrassed to tell her parents that she didn't consciously make a suggestion when she saw Hua Liuli, so she didn't bother to see her.
"Daughter girl, General Wei has returned to Beijing today, so go ahead." Princess Shun'an stood up. "Besides, Lord Fushou is different from her mother. He is a delicate and gentle person who plays with her again. What does it matter?"
"General Wei's return to Beijing is a good thing, but it doesn't mean I'm going to make her daughter happy." Jia Min shook her head, "I'm not going."
"Obey." Princess Shun'an grabbed a stack of silver tickets and stuffed her daughter, and turned to walk out the door. "The kitchen is no longer preparing your favorite meals at noon. You have fun with Lord Fushou."
Jia Min: "Mother..."
"Father, what does mother mean?" Determining that her mother would not change her mind, Jia Min turned around and asked Yao Yangma, "I really don't want to go out."
"You don't know how precious you are, but you regret when you are old." Yao Fangma sighed. "Good girl, listen to your mother, have fun with Lord Fushou County. If there is not enough money, I still have it here."
After that, he also stuffed a silver ticket into Jiamin, carrying the cage with the cricket, and hurried away.
Holding the stack of silver tickets, Jia Min's face changed, and finally he gritted his teeth and walked towards the gate.
As soon as she walked to the gate, she saw Hua Liuli wearing a light-colored waist skirt, and her thin waist was as soft as a willow branch. Jia Min suddenly thought of a poem called "Yingying's boneless, wind-swept skirt and butterfly dance."
But thinking of this weak and boneless woman, who could lift a dozen men with swords and let their bodies be dragged away by beasts, Jiamin's brain only had the phrase "Do not bark at dogs who can bite".
"Sister Jiamin." When Jiamin came out, Hua Liuli smiled sweetly at her, and softly whispered, like water and smoke, and the bones would be softened when listening.
Jia Min strode to Hua Liuli and whispered, "What do you want me to do?"
"Sister Jiamin, I just came to play with you. Don't be so nervous." Hua Liuli blinked. "Doesn't sister want to see me?"
Seeing Hua Liuli's look of weeping, Lord Jiamin took a deep breath: "You don't try to test me, I haven't told anyone about your affairs."
"I know that the lord is the one who keeps his promise." Hualili held Jiamin's wrist and gently pulled, "But we are sisters who have a life and death, talking about these hurtful feelings. Come, let's play while walking ."
Jia Min looked back desperately at the gate of the Princess Mansion. I wonder if she could return to the Princess Mansion with all her hands and feet?
"Girl, it seems that the masters of Jiamin and Fushou are passing by our carriage just now."
Du Xiuying heard the words from the maid, lifted the car curtain and glanced, and saw Jiamin walking in Hualili's arm to a tea house. The two maid's heads were behind him, and no expression was seen.
Putting down the curtain, Du Xiuying turned a page of the book, but could not see it in any way.
Many people in Beijing know that General Hua’s daughter is sick and sick, and cannot be frightened. Jia Min learned martial arts from an early age, her character was arrogant, and she was not in harmony with Hua Liuli's character. She took Hua Liuli to the teahouse.
"The gentleman emphasizes righteousness and avoids profits..." Du Xiuying put down the book and said: "Mafu, turn around and go to the teahouse you just passed."
If you don’t see it, just don’t see it. If you see something unfair, but you don’t want to come forward, how is it different from the villain?
Hualili took Jiamin to the most popular teahouse in the capital, and pointed her finger to poke Jiamin's arms: "Sister Jiamin, which compartment do you like to stay in on weekdays?"
Jia Min opened her hands and said to the cleanly dressed female hall: "It's still the old rules."
"You please, Lord of the County." Nvtang smiled, and led the two to go upstairs. "Recently, the shop has some new spring bud tea. Do you want to try it?"
After seeing Jia Min nodding, Nvtang quickly asked people to prepare, bowed and led the two to the box, and then retreated quietly.
"Sovereign, you forgot? I don't drink tea." Hua Liuli asked Tangyi to change the pot of boiled water, picking the fruits on the table and eating. "Some days I haven't seen it, has the sire been okay lately?"
"What the do you want to do?" Jia Min looked at Hua Liuli suspiciously. She didn't believe that Hua Liuli was caring about her.
"I don't have any friends in the capital, so I wanted to play with the master and spend my time." Hua Liuli put two peanuts in front of Jia Min. "It doesn't mean anything else."
Hua Liuli glanced out of the window and found this location very interesting, you can see the pedestrians on the street. The street across the street looked familiar. The last time Tian Ruidong had a conflict with Chen's son, he was almost killed with a dagger by Xiao Xiao, as if he was there.
She even wondered whether the real hands behind the scenes would sit in this teahouse when the incident happened and watched it coldly.
Because of her sudden appearance, not only ruined the person's plan, but also affected his mood to watch the drama.
So he hated her outside the plan, wanted to catch her alive, and slowly tortured to death. It is a pity that after the incident of Tian Ruidong, the imperial court began to investigate all persons with suspicious identities, so he had to leave the capital early to leave the killers to carry out his plan.
Now, as she had imagined, the person behind the scene was a very conceited person. He felt his plan was seamless and foolproof, as if everything was under his control.
I was disgusted by my own thoughts and shivered. Hualili turned to look at Jiamin who was sitting in the position honestly: "Jiamin County Master, I heard that the flower festival in Beijing is particularly lively. Is there anything to pay attention to? "
Hearing the word "Hua Chao", Jia Min couldn't help feeling numb, and felt anxious in her heart. Does Hua Liuli already know that she once had plans to make her embarrassed at the Hua Chao Festival, and now she deliberately mentioned this matter, Are you listening to the truth?
But she had already given up her plan to make Hualiuli embarrassed. Will she believe it?
"Also... there is nothing to pay attention to, there will be many sons out of Beijing that day, even poems and paintings, you dress yourself up beautifully." Jia Min took a sip of her teacup and concealed her guilty conscience, "What do you ask about this?"
"Just ask whatever you want." Hua Liuli got up and walked to Jiamin to sit down. "Actually, there is a little thing I want to ask you about."
"Just ask, what are you doing so close?" As soon as Hua Liuli approached, Jia Min froze, and she moved to the side. "Huali Liu, I tell you, don't go too far, I'm the emperor Close relatives."
"I know, I know, if you are not a relative of the imperial family, I won't ask you anymore." Hua Liuli grabbed Jia Min, who moved to the side, and dragged her back, "I'm not bored, I want to hear from you Tell me about the gossip in the capital."
"What gossip?" Jia Min turned his head. "How can I be so eloquent as a woman in the city?"
"That's right." Hua Liuli loosened Jiamin. "I had heard some rumours from the Lord of England and wanted to tell you that, since you don't like to discuss these, then forget it."
"Can you know what the King is about?" Jia Min looked at Hua Liuli suspiciously.
"Oh, don't have it if you don't have one." Hua Liuli waved her hand. "Anyway, you are not interested, it doesn't matter."
"If you insist on telling me, I can still barely listen." Jia Min grabbed Hua Liuli, "you tell me."
"Prefer not to say."
"Are you deliberately, Hualili you..."
"Jiamin, don't be fooling." The door of the box was opened, and a woman stood breathlessly at the door, her eyes fixed on Jiamin.
"Cousin?" Although Jia Min didn't like this cousin very much, she didn't want Hualili to watch the excitement and waved her back to the nursing home. "Why did you come over suddenly?"
Du Xiuying ignored her, walked to Hualiuli, and waved Jia Min's hand on Hualili's arm: "Jiamin, don't make trouble."
"What's wrong with me?" Jia Min saw Du Xiuying hiding Hua Liuli behind her, and she didn't dare to put a channel, "Who the are I talking to?"
She stayed at home well and was dragged out by Hua Liuli not to mention, she is still treated as a villain by her cousin.
Growing up so big, she hasn't suffered such grievances.
"Sovereign, are you okay?" Du Xiuying ignored Jia Min, who was called Qu. From childhood to large, Jia Min didn't know how many people had been bullied. When she grew up, she didn't cover her mouth and ignored the feelings of others, so she didn't believe her. A set.
"I'm fine." Hua Liuli shook her head cleverly.
"It's okay." Du Xiuying supported her arm. "It's not early, I will send you back."
Hua Liuli looked at Du Xiuying and Jiamin again, but did not refuse the other party's kindness.
"The lord may not be familiar with me yet." Du Xiuying saw that Hua Liuli did not come out of the carriage, and helped her ride with her. "The surname is Du, and the girl's name is Xiu Ying, Jiamin's cousin, you call My name is good."
"Sister Xiuying is good."
"Don't dare." Du Xiuying gave a salute, "The master of the county is a body of thousands of gold, how can I call it the elder sister."
Looking at the serious Du Xiuying, Hua Liuli remembered the lady who taught her etiquette when she was young.
"Jia Min's character is impulsive, but his nature is not bad. If there is any offense, please ask the master to forgive her." Du Xiuying again gave Huali a big gift.
"Don't be like this, girl Du." Hualili quickly reached out to support her after being given such a formal gift. "Today, I came out with Lord Jiamin, but I just wanted to ask the master about the Huachai Festival. thing."
Du Xiuying took a deep glance at Hua Liuli and slightly bowed his head: "It turns out so."
The Huajia girl was so good and kind. When she entered the door, she saw that Jiamin was holding her arm and forced her to say something, but she still didn't want to say Jiamin's bad things in front of her.
Such a character, with Jia Min, how can you not suffer?
"What do the masters want to know, you can come and ask." Du Xiuying sighed, took the cloak handed over by the maidservant, and put it on Hua Liuli's shoulder.
Such a thin girl, sitting there alone, could not help worrying.
"Thank you Ms. Du." Hua Liuli felt that Du Xiuying looked at her as if she were a kind sister. She touched her face and couldn't help but make a profound review. Isn't it a bit bad to cheat the pretty girl's trust like this.
"Every year during the Flower Festival, the of flowers will be worshipped, and the hairpin will spring. The queen in the palace is not old, and the empress dowager is too old, so the palace will not deliberately hold a ceremonial ceremony. In recent years, several princesses have invited The girls who came out of the cabinet, dressed up to attend the sacrificial activities together." Du Xiuying said, "The host of this year's Hua Zhaohui is the second princess. Her character has always been kind. You don't have to grieve yourself for doing things you don't want to do after you go."
Speaking of which, she glanced at Hualiuli in peace: "I will go to Huachao that day too. If there is anything unclear about the county master, just come to me."
"Thank you Miss Du." Hua Liuli smiled at Du Xiuying gratefully.
"The master of the county does not have to be polite." Du Xiuying looked at Hua Liuli's white face and always wanted to put another dress on Hua Liuli.
This is probably... the mood of grandma raising granddaughter, always feel that she is not warm enough?
Du Xiuying feels that his mentality is a bit strange. Is it because his brothers and sisters are not as good-looking as Hualili?
After returning Hualili to the house, Du Xiuying returned home and saw that her parents and elders were all there.
"Xuan Ying, your family doesn't have to be like this." Du Fu was very helpless.
"Father, no one should be rude, this is what her daughter should do." Du Xiuying still finished the ceremony.
Father Du's helplessly stretched out his hand, obviously it was impossible to take this old-school daughter.
Brother Du has long been accustomed to the character of my sister. Instead of taking these things into my heart, he said: "Father, mother, I heard something very interesting today."
"What's the matter?" Du Fu asked with interest, turning his head to see his daughter still, and sitting up straight again.
As a child, it is impossible to say that the parents were not. Du Xiuying had to stand up and prepare to return to the study.
"Yesterday, the prince and the mother and daughter of General Wei appeared in Taoist Temple in Beijing suburbs."
Du Xiuying paused and stopped walking.
"The prince will go to Taoist Temple every year on the 16th of the month to light up the lantern to honor the queen. General Wei returned to Beijing for the first time. It was normal to know the prince's habits. It was normal to accidentally meet on both sides." Du Fu heard that the matter was related to the prince. In a very lively mood, there were too many rumors about the prince from small to large, so that the whole Beijing had no novelty.
Anyway, everyone felt that it was sooner or later that the style of the prince’s behavior was eliminated by His Majesty.
Today is not abandoned, that is tomorrow, anyway, it will be one day in the future.
Brother Du said in a long way: "Maybe the prince wanted to marry Lord Fushou and increase his bargaining power for his succession?"
"If Prince Prince is a bit brainy, he should be farther away from the Hua family." Du Fu sighed. "Hua Yingting and Wei Mingyue set up a monstrous warfare. Not only are they extremely prestigious in the military, but even the people also respect him. You If it was His Majesty, what would you think?"
"I admire my foresight and have chosen two capable generals?" Brother Du was a little afraid to be sure. "The folks don't always say that your majesty is a purple Weixing, and General Hua Yingting is Wenquxing?"
"Superficial." Father Du looked at his son in disappointment. "If you can be patient, if you have half of your sister, I can rest assured."
Brother Du thought to himself that he was too old-schooled because he thought of his daughter's study too much. He also dismissed him as having too little study and insufficient knowledge. Nowadays, it is really not easy for children who want to please their father and mother.
"Your Majesty may have been so long at the beginning, but after a long time, he would wonder if the Hua family would have any anti-intentions, and would doubt that the Hua family threatened the emperor with the public opinion. If the prince and the Hua family approached, it would be worse. He would suspect that the prince can’t wait to get higher, and wants to replace it.

"As long as the prince is half-sensible, he will not be too close to the Hua family. He wants to marry any woman in the world, but the lord of the Hua family can't do it." Du Fu was very sure, "not to mention the lord of Fushou Weak and sick, it is not conducive to conceiving a child, how can such a girl marry into the royal family?"
"It turns out so." The exclusive brother suddenly realized: "Is this someone deliberately framed?"
"The rest of the princes are old, and this is unclear." Du Fu stroked his beard and turned to look at Du Xiuying, who had not left before standing at the door. "So it is good for Xiuying not to marry the prince."
"Father, the child went to please my grandfather yesterday. His old man seemed to appreciate the four princes very much." Brother Du said in a small voice, "He shouldn't think..."
"Don't think too much." Father Du frowned. His father didn't like the prince well. He knew it, but he didn't want to use the marriage of his children as his father's political bargaining chip.
Four princes?
Du Xiuying turned away without expression. In her view, the book has its own golden room, and the book has its own Yan Ruyu, the prince or the prince, not as interesting as those books.
"Little girl, you're out of breath." Hua Changkong said, "Go out to find the master of Jiamin County in the morning, and let the Du family girl send it back at noon, the little girl in the capital, who else haven't you messed with?"
"That's too much." Hua Liuli said, "I heard from Miss Du today that there is a Wenqu Star Temple nearby. It's very effective. I'll pay you a favor tomorrow."
Hua Changkong: "Don't be superstitious."
"Xin Yixin does not suffer." Hua Liuli patted Hua Changkong's shoulders. "Third Brother, don't put too much pressure on yourself. There are only three days left in Chunchun. I can't read many books at this time. It's better to relax." Mood. I believe you will be able to pass the exam. It doesn’t matter if you don’t. The most important thing is that you are happy.

She didn't tell Hua Changkong. Today she also asked Du Xiuying about the imperial examinations. She learned that some candidates were suddenly crazy and sick in the exam room. She was worried that her handsome third brother would also be crazy in the exam room.
"Don't worry, Sange will pay attention." Hearing Hua Liuli's corners, he was so worried that he was too stressed to hurt his body. Hua Changkong laughed and rubbed Hua Liuli's hair. "Children don't worry These little things."
"Then you go to bed early tonight." Hua Liuli closed the books on the table. "These books will be read tomorrow day."
"Good." Hua Changkong was supervised by Hua Liuli and returned to her yard. When Hua Liuli returned to her small courtyard, she saw her father and his mother drinking and enjoying the moon outside. They were afraid to disturb them. Enter your own yard.
"Your Highness, can this be placed under the pillow?" The lady who changed the bed found that there was a bunch of weeds under the pillow.
The prince got up and put the straw butterfly back under the pillow, and said to the court girl: "Let it be."
"Yes." The ladies cleaned up the bed and retreated quietly.
"His Royal Highness, the news that you met the county master in Taoist Temple yesterday was sent by the concubine." A young wearing a blue robe hurried in and whispered, "The concubine does not seem to want you to marry the Du family girl ."
"Oh." The prince was not surprised by the result of the investigation. This method of spreading rumors to each other was almost a non-greasy method used by the concubines and concubines.
The concubine has been in the palace for so many years, and the means have not grown much.
"Your Highness." The who had been with the prince for many years couldn't help but say: "It's better...it's better to go to some Fushou County Master in the future."
"Lone is the kind of person who wronged himself because of rumors?" The prince flicked the gold beads on the table, and saw the gold beads fall to the ground and rolled into the bottom of the cabinet. He did not frown: "Hua Chao is coming soon, lonely I remember there was a box of pearls in the private storehouse, which will be sent to the owner of Fushou County tomorrow."
"His Royal Highness, those pearl hairpins are rare treasures, why not leave them to the future prince..."
"The lonely feel that those jewels are suitable for the owner of Fushou County." The prince stood lazily, "I am lonely, you all withdraw."
"Yes."
The next day, Emperor Changlong went to the palace, and the prince went to Chenyang Palace Imperial Study.
Seeing his son come to the Imperial Study Room so actively, Emperor Changlong put his pocketbook in his hands: "Speak, what needs the father to do?"
Suddenly his son was diligent and well-behaved.
"It's okay, the son-in-law just wants to report it to you, and there are some concubines in the harem who arrange the gossip of the son-in-law and a girl." The prince sat down on the chair in disappointment. "The son-in-law is not very happy and can only find you Complaint."
"Who is it?" Emperor Changlong had some headaches. He placed the crown prince so high that he wanted them to understand that the future heir of Dajin could only be Yuan Suo, not someone else.
Unfortunately, several women in the harem didn't seem to understand what he meant.
"This is not important. What is important is that the son-in-law gave her the jewelry that was going to be given to the princess in order to make up for the little girl." Prince Edward said, "So for those jewels that go to tribute this year, let the son-in-law pick , Save the family for the children."
"You still lack this?"
"Father and emperor, it is a tradition of thousands of years for the father to save the son's daughter-in-law. The son-in-law does not look for you, who else can go to?" As the most honorable biting old man of the Jin Dynasty, the prince ate Feel at ease.
"Forget it, whoever the old man under the world loves to fill up his son, you pick it up, what you like to take." In front of the prince, Emperor Changlong's eccentric eye problems will occur from time to time.
"Children's gratitude to his father and empress."
The prince turned and went to the emperor's private library, and asked Zhao Sancai, the former head of the imperial court, who accompanied him: "Duke Zhao, what kind of jewellery does Xianfei like on weekdays?"
Zhao Sancai: "..."
Highness, can we not do it so obviously?
The author has something to say: Q: How do I avenge a woman?
Jia Min: I think I am getting revenge.
Prince: Xie invited, Gu Gang came out of the emperor's private library. There are many ways, but the simplest and most violent thing is to take what she likes.
