Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Business TripXu Qi'an didn't stay in the Second Princess's Mansion for too long. He had to patrol the streets in the afternoon, so he said goodbye and left.
Biao Biao was reluctant to leave, and frowned: "Xu Ningyan, I can talk to my father and let you enter the palace to serve as my guard."
What future do you have as a guard? You really want me to work like a cow and a horse... Xu Qi'an said helplessly: "Your Highness, I still have some ambitions."
Obviously, working like a cow and a horse for the princess is not as promising as serving Wei Yuan. Emperor Yuan Jing loves Biao Biao, in addition to her being noisy and coquettish, another reason is that she is innocent and cute, and has no scheming.
For Princess Huaiqing, if you want to support your confidant to the throne, you have to find an opportunity, such as the Sangpo case. The same is true for other princes.
Biao Biao asked Emperor Yuan Jing to exempt him from the death penalty to no avail, and Xu Qi'an saw through Emperor Yuan Jing.
"Second Princess, why are you doing this? I'm just a small night watchman." Xu Qi'an said to himself, we are not suitable.
"No one else is as interesting as you. They are trembling when talking to me." Lin'an pouted and swung his feet:
"I don't like reading. I'm not good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, or painting. I'm bored to death in the palace. When I was a child, the prince would play with me. Now, whenever I go to him, he frowns and always says that he has something important to do." What a pitiful company, keeping a canary in the canary... But can't Princess Huaiqing come and go freely... Xu Qian'an thought about it and figured it out.
Huaiqing is the kind of strong woman who can conquer the world by herself if given three thousand soldiers and horses. She is well-educated and capable. Among all the children of Emperor Yuan Jing, there are almost no ones who can match Huaiqing in talent and skill. Lin'an is different. She is a willful and willful little princess. She has no scheming and is easier to deceive than people with wolfish ambitions.
Xu Qian'an automatically removed himself from the name of "wolfish ambition".
"This is actually simple. The princess just needs to move back to her own mansion. The imperial city is always more interesting than the palace city." Xu Qian'an said.
Lin'an is a princess with a title and has her own mansion in the imperial city.
"Then you can come to Lin'an Mansion to see me tomorrow." Bian Bian said.
Princess Lin'an arrived at Jingxiu Palace in a sedan chair before lunch. Concubine Chen sent someone to inform her two children today and invited them to have dinner at Jingxiu Palace. During the meal, the prince ate the delicacies carefully prepared by Concubine Chen, and suddenly said: "I heard from the palace servants that Wei Yuan sent a secret recipe to the queen and cured her anorexia."
Concubine Chen smiled and said: "Yes, it seems to be called... chicken essence? I heard that adding a little when cooking will make the taste unforgettable."
The prince saw Concubine Chen's desire, "Mother, if you want to try it, I will ask the queen for some."
Concubine Chen smiled and said: "I heard that Princess Huaiqing asked for it, but the queen didn't give it to her."
The mother and son were helpless.
Princess Lin'an looked at her mother and brother and asked for confirmation: "Is it called chicken essence?"
The prince looked at her, "You heard about it too?"
The heartless Lin'an had no time to pay attention to the news in the harem, and shook her head and said: "Xu Ningyan sent me something today, it's called chicken essence."
She called the maid and said: "Go back to the palace and get it for me."
A quarter of an hour later, the maid returned panting and brought back the porcelain bottle left in the mansion.
His Royal Highness took the porcelain bottle first, pulled out the cork, smelled it, and smelled a slightly pungent fresh smell. Just smelling it, you can't feel the magic of this thing.
"Let the kitchen reheat these dishes and add this...chicken essence, let's taste it?"
The prince's proposal was agreed by his mother and sister.
Not long after, the palace maid came back with the hot dishes, and the mother and son did not move their chopsticks, but looked at the palace maid.
The maid first tested the poison with a silver needle, then took the bowls and chopsticks and tried them one by one. After eating all the dishes, the prince saw that she was obviously reluctant to eat more, but she didn't dare to eat more, and stared at the food reluctantly.
After waiting for a while, seeing that the maid was fine, the prince urged: "Serve me a bowl of turtle soup."
As the maid served the soup, she smiled and said: "Your Highness has a good eye, this soup is unforgettable."
The prince couldn't wait to take it, tasted it, and praised: "It has a different taste... Mother, Lin'an, you try it, try it quickly."
Concubine Chen hadn't seen the prince so happy for a long time, and she was happy.
Lin'an had already started by herself. She didn't eat the turtle soup, but took a bite of the vegetarian dish. As she chewed, she unconsciously took the second bite, the third bite...
After lunch, Concubine Chen, who hadn't seen her children eat so happily for a long time, was very happy.
"What a good thing! Just this small bottle... How much effort must the chef in the imperial kitchen have spent to make it." His Royal Highness sighed, and calmly put the bottle into his
sleeve.
Bian Bian widened his eyes, rushed over, and grabbed the sleeve of the prince tightly, with her eyebrows raised: "Mine!"
"Isn't Xu Qi'an yours? You can ask him for it again." His Royal Highness said righteously:
"Let go."
"I won't let go, this is mine."
The brother and sister couldn't agree on the dispute, and asked Concubine Chen to judge. Concubine Chen was angry and amused: "You are so old, but you are still like a child. If you want mother to say it, it's fair to leave it with mother."
"....." The prince and Lin'an turned their heads and continued to argue.
.....
"So what Xu Ningyan gave me is so valuable." Bian Bian sat in the sedan chair, playing with the porcelain bottle with only one-third of chicken essence left.
Her little dissatisfaction with Xu Qi'an gradually disappeared. She was not really stupid. Xu Qi'an took advantage of her, and she just turned a blind eye.
Because if he was not won over, this Tongluo would turn around and fall into Huaiqing's
arms. Besides, he was nice and playful, so Lin'an was reluctant to let him go. Some useless calligraphy and silver, just give them.
This little Tongluo was two-faced and slippery. I had to go and confirm it.... Lin'an immediately said: "Go to Huaiqing."
Arriving at Princess Huaiqing's palace, Lin'an, ignoring the guards' obstruction, raised his white chin and met the annoying Huaiqing in the front hall.
The two princesses with outstanding looks complemented each other. Huaiqing frowned on
her fair face: "What are you doing here?"
"I heard that Wei Yuan gave my mother a secret recipe that cured her anorexia. The news spread throughout the palace." Lin'an walked to the antique shelf, her red skirt dragging,
playing with a blue and white vase, and casually said:
"Does Sister Huaiqing have it here?"
"No." Huaiqing said lightly.
"Really not?" Lin'an turned her head suddenly, her eyes sparkling, and her charming oval face
was written with the words "eager to make a move".
Princess Huaiqing stared at her and said indifferently: "Why would I lie to you?"
"I'm relieved if you don't have it," Lin'an, no, Bia Bia took out the porcelain bottle, shook it
happily, and laughed: "I have it!"
"..."
She was even happier when she saw Huaiqing's face was not right, but in order to avoid being beaten, she stopped while she was ahead, twisted her waist, and left after pretending to be
powerful:
"I'm leaving, no one will see me off. Oh, by the way, this is Xu Ningyan's gift to me."
Xu Ningyan... Princess Huaiqing's smooth forehead was bulging with blue veins.
....
The next day, after having lunch at the brothel, the three people from the brothel picked their teeth and walked back to the government office with a step that they didn't recognize their
relatives.
There was a half-hour break at noon, and the three planned to go back to the government office to breathe. Today, Xu Qian'an was still treating them, but this time they were just listening to music and eating, and didn't do anything else. The warrior family didn't have that
much surplus food.
After spending a few days with Xu Ningyan for free, Song Tingfeng felt a little embarrassed. Seeing that there were people selling oranges at a roadside stall, he said:
"You two wait here, I'll go buy some oranges."
"Get lost, I'll go buy them, you wait here." Xu Qi'an stopped him. "Ningyan, you're too polite, too polite." Song Tingfeng insisted on buying.
"Others are fine, but I must buy the oranges. If you insist on buying them, you can treat me to seaʀᴄh thё NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
a visit next time at the Jiaofangsi." Xu Qi'an said angrily.
Song Tingfeng really gave up. Back at the yamen, Xu Qi'an received another summons from Wei Yuan.
Daddy Wei loves me more and more... He happily ran to the Haoqi Tower. After the guards
reported to him, he saw Wei Yuan in a green robe in the teahouse.
The handsome and elegant eunuch with slightly frosted temples was drinking from a teacup
and pointed to the seat opposite: "Pour your own tea."
Xu Qi'an, who had drunk a bellyful of wine, did not want to drink tea, but still poured a cup,
just to accompany Wei Yuan.
"You can't drink while on duty," Wei Yuan admonished: "You are a person who has bad habits except for some justice. You are slick, disregard discipline, and frequently go in and out of the Jiaofangsi. If I were your political enemy, you would have been reincarnated."
"...I know my mistakes." Xu Qi'an treated himself as a younger brother, no, son, and his mentality was much better.
"Forget it, it's easy to change a country but hard to change one's nature. If a person is really so easy to change, there wouldn't be thousands of people in the world." Wei Yuan has always been a leader with a high tolerance rate for his subordinates, and he didn't really want to
pursue him. He took a sip of tea and pushed a file over: "You have to go to Yunzhou." Yunzhou? Xu Qian'an straightened his expression and opened the file to browse.
"A few days ago, the night watchman's undercover sent back a secret letter, saying that Yunzhou's commander-in-chief Yang Chuannan secretly colluded with the mountain bandits to transport military supplies in order to seek benefits and to support the bandits for their own benefit." Wei Yuan took another sip of tea and said:
"The day after receiving the secret letter, the Qi party quickly took action and fabricated a
"corruption case", using a group of gold and silver gongs as bargaining chips to force me to compromise."
The Yunzhou commander-in-chief is a member of the Qi party? No wonder the Qi party was determined to deal with the night watchman. It turns out that there is such an inside story
behind it.
If it weren't for my shitty luck, would Wei Yuan be prepared to replace the Yunzhou commander-in-chief with a group of gold and silver gongs? Wei Yuan is very cruel... By the way, No. 2 said that the reason why the Yunzhou bandits were eliminated was that the mountain bandits occupied the terrain, and each of them had military supplies. They were not ordinary mountain bandits, so there were people supporting them behind them.
Qi Dang is in the capital and cannot be controlled remotely. It needs a local senior official to cooperate... Xu Qi'an suddenly realized.
Wei Yuan continued: "After the secret letter was sent back to the capital, the hidden man died
for no reason and died silently. His real identity is an experience of the experience department of the Duzhishisi.
"Although the person is dead, the evidence is missing. I have reported this to His Majesty, and
His Majesty will send the governor of the Duchayuan to Yunzhou to investigate this matter. "What you have to do is to protect the governor and find evidence."
Xu Qi'an said in embarrassment: "Why do you want me to go to Yunzhou?"
Still reluctant... Wei Yuan said: "Jiang Luzhong is in charge of this matter, you go with him to
experience."
Xu Qi'an was relieved and said: "There is one more thing... Lord Wei, chicken essence should not be eaten too much, it is easy to be thirsty, ask the chef to put less when cooking."
Wei Yuan just scolded him, but he did not bear a grudge, but kindly reminded him. Xu Qi'an
felt that he was really too kind.
Wei Yuan said nothing, pointing at the door.
"I'll take my leave." Xu Qian'an immediately slipped away.
