Jiangshan is hired [rebirth]

It wasn't too early for them to arrive. Many people had already come to the palace. Everyone lined up outside the Kunhe Palace where the Queen Mother lived to greet Her Majesty and the Queen Mother.

"Are you nervous?" Yun Miaoqing asked Huo Lan in a low voice.

"Not nervous." Huo Lan looked at the people around him and replied in a low voice.

"You were so nervous when you saw my mother last time, but you are not nervous when you see His Majesty and the Queen Mother this time?"

Hearing Yun Miaoqing brought up the embarrassing incident last time, Huo Lan secretly pinched Yun Miaoqing's arm: "That's not because you said those stupid things to me earlier! Stop talking, or you will cause me to say it again later. wrong."

Yun Miaoqing covered her mouth and chuckled lightly, and didn't make a sound.

After about half a stick of incense, it was finally their turn.Xu Muzhen and Yun Shujian walked in front, Shuangya carried Yun Muchen and Yun Miaoqing in the middle, Huo Lan and Wen Taicang were at the end, and the seven of them walked into the gate of Kunhe Palace together under the guidance of the palace staff.

After saluting, the Queen Mother called Yun Miaoqing to her, squinted her cloudy eyes and looked at her for a long time, then smiled and said to Xu Muzhen: "Miaoqing has grown up so much, the last time I saw her was many years ago, It’s even more beautiful now.”

"The Empress Dowager is flattering you." Xu Muzhen said modestly.

"I can't blame the children for the scientific examination back then. Children are naughty and mischievous. If you want me to say, I have to blame the reviewing officials. If they weren't careless and didn't perform their duties seriously, how could they? I haven't found it after so many rounds of exams." The queen mother grabbed Xu Muzhen's hand and Yun Miaoqing complained.

"Aniang, I have already punished those people." Emperor Zhong Yu interjected beside the queen mother.

"Then you still let Yunxiang keep his daughter at home for so many years! Yunxiang has made so many contributions over the years, why can't he be extra kind? Such a flowery girl, if she hadn't been delayed by this matter, she should have A good man is married!"

Zhong Yu's expression turned a little ugly after being repeatedly reprimanded by the Queen Mother.

Yun Miaoqing saw it, and said with a smile: "Miaoqing was young and ignorant back then, she did something wrong, and she should be punished. Besides, His Majesty has already treated Miaoqing leniently, because Miaoqing was naughty for a while. Tired of so many people being implicated, if you can still show it as usual, others will not dare to talk about your majesty, but they will say that my father despises the court laws by relying on your majesty's favor.

It is precisely because His Majesty loves my father so much that he acquiesced in doing that. Isn't this an extra kindness? My father still remembered His Majesty's kindness before he died. "

After hearing her words, Zhong Yu's expression turned pale, and he pointed to Yun Miaoqing and said to the Empress Dowager, "Listen, this is the daughter Yun Xiang taught, and everything is so transparent!"

"Oh! It means I'm old and confused!" The queen mother snorted and turned her back.

Seeing this, Shuangya poked Yun Muchen secretly, and Yun Muchen clapped her hands and giggled and said, "Why is the queen mother acting like a child!"

"Old and young, aren't they just becoming more and more like children?" Xu Muzhen smiled and embraced the Queen Mother's arm: "If you want me to say, the Queen Mother has not only become younger in temper, but also in appearance, let's go together tomorrow Go to incense, others should say that you are younger than me!"

Some words coaxed the queen mother and the emperor to laugh.

Several people talked about being able to joke again, and Zhong Yu finally set his sights on Huo Lan.

"I heard that Miaoqing brought a friend with her when she came back from Songluan County this time?"

Yun Miaoqing nodded in agreement, and called Huo Lan to her side.According to what they discussed with Du Shouming, they still don't know about Huo Lan's life experience, and the reason why they brought Huo Lan back to Beijing was purely because Yun Miaoqing fell in love with him.

Although the matter between Yun Miaoqing and Huo Lan is no longer a secret in the capital, but the Empress Dowager has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and the few people who often come and go are not particularly gossips, so this is the first time I heard about it.

"What friend?" asked the Queen Mother curiously.

"Aniang, you haven't heard of it?" Zhong Yu said, "Miaoqing met a friend during the time she was in the countryside to guard Yunxiang, and even made a special trip to fight a lawsuit for her friend, which caused a lot of trouble for Song Luan. Everyone in the county knows about it."

"Is there such a thing?" The queen mother turned to Yun Miaoqing suspiciously.

Yun Miaoqing showed a shy smile: "It's all just fooling around in the countryside, why did you pass it on to His Majesty?"

She paused, then said to the Queen Mother suddenly: "But my friend is very powerful, he often helps Songluan County and other counties in Suzhou to suppress bandits!"

When the queen mother heard what Yun Miaoqing said, she immediately became interested and called Huo Lan over to ask questions.

Huo Lan answered one by one according to what Yun Miaoqing had taught in advance, because she had rehearsed it beforehand, so she was neither humble nor overbearing at this moment.Her voice has also been specially practiced for a long time, so she is not afraid of being heard.

While speaking, she looked at Yun Miaoqing frequently, and Yun Miaoqing also kept looking at her with affection in her eyes.Huo Lanming knew that they were acting now, but it was inevitable that they missed a beat in their hearts, and the words in their mouths suddenly froze.

The two of them were sitting in front of the queen mother, and the queen mother had been talking to them for a long time, so she could see the affection between them. How is the boy Lan?"

This means that he intends to marry a daughter.The Empress Dowager looked him up and down again, then turned her head and whispered to Xu Muzhen, "You're pretty handsome, but you don't come from a very good background..."

"What's the matter." Xu Muzhen said softly, "When I married Yun Zhimiao, he was nothing at all!"

"Ahem!" Zhong Yu cleared his throat loudly, and looked at the Queen Mother and Xu Muzhen: "Everyone is sitting here, why are you two still whispering?"

Xu Muzhen covered her mouth and laughed straight away, the queen mother also laughed, and told Zhong Yu the conversation between the two of them just now.

Zhong Yu smiled and shook his head after hearing this: "Your family is really a family."

After finishing speaking, he turned to Huo Lan and asked, "The hometown of Prime Minister Yun is not in Suzhou, do you know why he was buried in Songluan County of Suzhou?"

Huo Lan was at a loss, she really didn't know about this, Yun Miaoqing had never told her about it.

"This story has to be said 40 years ago. Yun Zhimiao was studying at Qingguang Academy, and he fell in love with Miss Xu's family. Young Master, at that time our Yun Xiang was not Yun Xiang, but an ordinary scholar.

In the end, Miss Xu resolutely repented of her marriage for her true love. Her father removed her from the family tree in a fit of rage, and our Yun Xiang said, "Since you have been expelled from the family, I will also be expelled from the family. After a hundred years I don't want to be buried in our Yun family's ancestral grave, let's find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters to live and die together'. "

This place with beautiful mountains and clear waters refers to Bailu Mountain.It was the first time Huo Lan heard this story, and she quickly glanced at Xu Muzhen in surprise.

I saw the hatred in Xu Muzhen's eyes flashed past, and was quickly replaced by a smile, and she pretended to be angry and said: "Oh, it's all about old sesame seeds and rotten millet, what your Majesty does has to be said in front of the juniors , shameful!"

Although it was only for a moment, and the eyes of everyone present were attracted by the narrator and they didn't realize it, Huo Lan did see it.

Think about it, if it were her, she would probably hate it too.Judging from the story just now, Yun Miaoqing's parents have a very deep relationship. Her father passed away, but her mother was trapped in the capital, unable to fulfill the original agreement between the two of them to "stay together through life and death".

No wonder the house under Bailu Mountain was built so small!Huo Lan suddenly realized that the house was not enough for the entire Yun family to live in. When it was built, it must have been thought that after the death of one of them, the other could live closer, which was another kind of companionship.

It's a pity that things don't go as planned...

Thinking of this, Huo Lan's gaze at Yun Miaoqing became complicated again, and he hoped that she and Yun Miaoqing would not end up on different sides in the future.But before that, we must first overcome the difficulties in front of us.

Huo Lan cheered up and continued to listen to the conversation.

During the time when she was distracted, the emperor talked to the queen mother and Xu Muzhen for a while. The queen mother seemed to really like Huo Lan when she saw Yun Miaoqing, and Xu Muzhen was also very satisfied with Huo Lan. It's full, so why not take advantage of the auspicious Chinese New Year to just make a deal for the marriage.

She thought so, and made a suggestion like this.

Yun Miaoqing's face was flushed with embarrassment and joy.The Empress Dowager was still a little hesitant, but she also became happy to see her like this.

"Let's just say that, I'll let you see the day for you later..."

"Aniang! How can marriage be so trifling." Zhong Yu interrupted.

Huo Lan and Yun Miaoqing looked at each other indiscriminately. Before entering the palace, Yun Miaoqing told her that if His Majesty agreed to their marriage, it means that His Majesty did not recognize her intentions, and if His Majesty did not immediately agree to the marriage , they can continue to act.

From the looks of it now, Du Shouming's progress was very successful, and the results of their face-to-face meeting today were also good. Everything was developing smoothly according to their preplanned direction.

"What a joke! Huo Lan's parents died, Miao Qing's Yun Xiang is no longer here, Mu Zhen, the mother, also agrees, what else can I do?" The queen mother is still arguing with the emperor about the marriage.

Zhong Yu said: "Miao Qing is Yun Xiang's daughter after all, and Huo Lan is dressed in white, how can this match?"

"There are so many idle errands in the capital, if you make him an official, it's over!" The queen mother was in her eighties, and she started to lose her temper when she disagreed with her.

"It's such a casual thing to be an official!" Zhong Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and thought for a while and said to Huo Lan, "Well, we must have some activities at today's banquet. If you can get a good ranking and convince others, I will It’s okay to reward you with an errand.”

Huo Lan saluted and thanked her.Zhong Yu turned his attention to Wen Taicang at the end.

"I heard that Huo Lan's kung fu has been taught by you all these years?"

Wen Taicang said yes with downcast eyes.

Zhong Yu stopped talking, stared at him for a while, and said "yes" several times, but he didn't know what he was "yes".Huo Lan took a peek at the emperor's face and saw that he looked sad, maybe he thought of the old general Wen who had passed away to Wen Taicang.

If Old General Wen was still alive, he should have been on the list for this banquet.I heard that the emperor likes to call some old ministers to chat recently, maybe he will think of old general Wen from time to time.

A lot of time has passed after some old narration, and there are other houses waiting behind.Xu Muzhen took her children and got up to leave, but when she was about to step out of the palace gate, the emperor suddenly stopped them.

"I remember that Yun Xiang and you decided to settle in Bailu Mountain after a hundred years. It was in Taihe five years, right?"

Xu Muzhen turned her head and saluted, and replied with a light smile: "Your Majesty's memory is wrong, it was the seventh year of Taihe, when there was a flood in Suzhou, my husband followed Wang Situ to Suzhou to relieve the disaster, he was not in good health during that time, so I Let's follow, that's how we set our sights on that place together."

Zhong Yu nodded silently, and waved his hand to signal that they could leave.

There is still a long way from the main hall to the gate of Kunhe Palace, but everyone was slightly relieved to be out of His Majesty's sight.

"That last question scared me to death!" Yun Shujian caressed his heart, His Majesty was obviously wondering if the encounter between Yun Miaoqing and Huo Lan was a coincidence.

Yun Miaoqing guessed that His Majesty would ask this question today, but luckily all of this is indeed a coincidence, so I am not afraid that he will send someone to investigate.All the personal and material evidence about Huo Lan's life experience is in Du Shouming's hands. As long as Du Shouming doesn't tell the truth and deliberately frame him in front of His Majesty, His Majesty will not be too suspicious even if he is suspicious.

If they were really suspicious, they couldn't let them just leave.

The palace is not a place to talk, and no one answered Yun Shujian's sigh, and he himself knew that he couldn't say more.A group of people walked to the gate of Kunhe Palace in silence, and the eunuch who guarded the gate shouted: "His Royal Highness Zhuang Wang is here—"

The author has something to say: After checking the titles of the emperor and the queen mother and the names of each other are not the same in different dynasties, anyway, they came here casually.
