"Well," said Guangcheng Marquis' wife Zhou, "except for her, no other female relatives can go there."
Zhao Xiangning curled her lips and said, "A young lady who is so crazy all day long. It's ok for her to wear men's clothes to attend court, but she also hangs out with these people... Which man can stand such a young lady? I don't know how embarrassed Lord Jinrong must be."
"Shut up!" Zhou looked around anxiously. Fortunately, there was no one around. She lowered her voice and shouted angrily, "This is what a young lady said! Is His Highness Fu Yan someone you can criticize? If you offend him, the lives of your entire family will be at stake!"
"I know!" Zhao Xiangning said coquettishly, "I know that my mother wants her to give birth to a child..."
She touched her face and said, "I heard that His Highness Fu Yan likes girls with my looks the most. Don't worry, mother. If I have the chance, I will say all the good things and ask her for help."
"Well," Zhou's expression softened, "Xiang'er has always been the best behaved child."
She sighed: "Not only do I want to ask her to give me a child, but if I can get close to His Highness, there will be many benefits!" She looked at her for a few times: "If my Xiang'er can get close to her, the prince of the palace can also marry her."
Zhao Xiangning pursed her lips and her eyes slid over there again.
After all, this wasn't a military camp, so the little commotion ended soon after. Huo Qijing straightened his clothes and came over, asking, "Are you done?"
"Well," Yan Shiyue said, "It has been handed over to the Dali Temple Minister."
...
...
He asked, “Relax?”
She said, "I'm worried."
Although she has always been a hands-off boss, the timing of letting go is also very important. For example, now, she feels uneasy if she lets go, so she sent two dragon guards over. No matter what, Zheng Zhao must be protected first.
She said to him, "I haven't played here yet. Tomorrow I'll call Brother Ayang and the others. Shall we go around and have a look?"
He pressed her head: "I can't walk around."
"Oh?" She asked, "Then where can you move around?"
He pointed and said, "Except when summoned by the Emperor, I am usually on both sides, so that they can find me in time if anything happens."
Yan Shiyue nodded: "Then let's go around and find a place nearby to grill something. You can come and eat too!"
Huo Qijing smiled and nodded: "Okay."
She walked away, and when she came over here, a group of women came forward to greet her. Yan Shiyue just waved her hand and said, "No need to be polite." She kept walking, not giving these people a chance to speak.
At night she sent people to inform everyone.
The crown prince was not available, so she only called Yan Shirui, Yan Shitu, Huo Qiyang, the fifth prince, and the seventh and eighth princes.
Then they asked the cook to clean up there in advance, and they got up early and went around.
Among them, only Huo Qiyang was close in age to Qiba, but Huo Qiyang was very mature beyond his years. Standing among the adults, he did not look out of place at all except that he was a little smaller. On the contrary, Yan Shitu quickly became friends with Qiba.
There were already many birds in the palace. Yan Shitu was good at playing with slingshots, and soon Qiba followed him and helped him carry the birds he had shot. The big Yan Shitu stood among Qiba, like a happy dog, and there was nothing wrong with it.
Yan Shirui took a look and sighed deeply: "Alas!"
Yan Shiyue didn't notice it, she was enjoying the scenery.
What later generations know best about Jiucheng Palace is the "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Inscription". It is said that Li Shimin accidentally discovered a clear spring in Jiucheng Palace, so Wei Zheng wrote the inscription and Ouyang Xun wrote the calligraphy. It was praised by later generations as "the best regular script in the world".
Yan Shiyue spoke with great interest, but no one responded. She turned around and asked, "You don't like it?"
"We've seen it a long time ago," Yan Shirui said, "We saw it as soon as we got here."
"Yes," the fifth prince also said, "I saw it when I came here before."
All right, she went to have a look herself. When she got there, she saw several people hammering out the inscriptions on the stele. When they saw them approaching, the person bowed hurriedly and said, "Your Highness, your servant Zhao Xiangning pays respect to you, the Fifth Prince."
Yan Shiyue nodded.
The fifth prince frowned and asked, "Why are you here at this time?"
Zhao Xiangning said anxiously, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I thought no one would come at this time."
"Forget it," Yan Shiyue was very disappointed: "Let's come back another day."
Zhao Xiangning kowtowed and apologized: "It is my fault, Your Highness, please forgive me."
"It's okay," she said as she walked, "Just take your time."
She left, and the few of them walked around for a long time and then came to a small forest to the right of the palace gate.
The royal chef had already marinated various meats and other things according to her instructions, and put them on skewers. As soon as they arrived, he added charcoal to the rectangular stove and grilled them themselves.
Yan Shitu also handed the shot birds to the imperial chef to take care of.
Huo Qijing came over after a while and sat down next to her.
A few people were playing when they saw a few old men coming from the south. Yan Shiyue knew they were coming for her and waved them directly: "Prime Minister Xu! Gentlemen, come and try my grilled meat!"
Everyone: “…”
More than one person looked at Xu Mingxiu meaningfully.
Is this what you mean by unfamiliar?
Xu Mingxiu could only laugh. A few people came over. Yan Shiyue warmly asked them to sit down and then gave them some meat to eat.
Lin Fujian smiled and said, "Your Highness is interested."
"Yes," Yan Shiyue said, "I have been in the palace for several days, and finally I have a day to relax."
Lin Fujian said, "I heard that this matter was somewhat related to me. Thank you for your help, Your Highness."
"It's not just about you," Yan Shiyue said, "You are the defendant!"
Everyone: “…”
Yan Shiyue immediately looked at him and said, "Don't you know? I thought Li Jinzhong had already told you?"
Li Jinzhong: “…”
Lin Fujian simply said, "I am very surprised. I don't know why my servants were detained. Your Highness, can you help me solve this puzzle?"
"No!" She said, "The case has been handed over to the Dali Temple. Once we investigate thoroughly, we will know the answer."
Even Lin Fujian was choked.
Every word she said was the truth, without any detours, but all of them were full of the magic of a topic terminator...it was difficult for people to ask the next question.
Lin Fujian said, "I have been in the court for more than 20 years. I may have offended some people. I may have made up stories and exaggerated them. I hope Your Highness will show some mercy and take care of me. I will be very grateful."
"Don't worry," Yan Shiyue said solemnly, "You all strongly recommended me to the Ministry of Justice, and I will never let you down. Since I have taken on the responsibility of enforcing the law, I will definitely enforce the law impartially, and will not wrongly accuse a good person, nor will I let a bad person go. If this matter is a false accusation by the people, I will definitely clear your name. If this matter is true, there are laws to follow. I will only act in accordance with the law and will never have any prejudice against Lord Lin. Even if Lord Lin is imprisoned in the future, we can still sit down and discuss it after he comes out."
Everyone: “……???”
Lin Fujian: “……???”
Who the hell is in jail? You are the one in jail!!!
