Ask Sword

"Le Ling hasn't come back yet."

In the Yanying Hall of Daming Palace, Emperor Yu Li Shun, accompanied by Empress Xue, flipped through the documents on the table and asked casually.

The eunuch in yellow on one side bowed respectfully and said: "Your Majesty, Princess Guanghua should now be at the home of Mr. Li Ang in Jinchengfang, giving lessons to Princess Guanghua's friend, the maid in Mr. Li's house."

"Um?"

When Emperor Yu heard the words, he froze slightly when he flipped through the document. Li Ang knew it, but the maid of Li Ang's family

Isn't he a commoner?

Empress Xue said: "Is that the child named Chai? I heard from Le Ling that we are friends with her."

The eunuch in yellow clothes named Yang Enchao said respectfully: "Yes. The maid's surname is Chai and her name is Cuiqiao. Some time ago, the teaching of the academy just detected it with the Zhiyu Yinxiu disc. She was born with twelve spiritual veins, which can be added as usual. Into the preliminary examination list.

So Princess Guanghua is helping her with her homework these days. "

"Twelve spiritual veins?"

Empress Xue raised her brows slightly in astonishment, she was not surprised by this number - after all, Yu Country has a population of 40 million, and rare geniuses with twelve or thirteen spiritual veins will appear every few years, There are even records of fourteen or five spiritual veins.

However, it happened at Li Ang's house, and the person involved was still his little maid. Is there a chance?

"What is this? Weizhou has outstanding people and is rich in geniuses?"

Emperor Yu Li Shun laughed dumbfoundedly and shook his head.

Jun Qianzi, who is still absconding and forced Yu State to send three Zhuxiaojing monks to hunt him down, is also from Weizhou.

Hearing her husband's cold joke, Empress Xue rolled her eyes coquettishly like a girl, then turned to ask eunuch Yang Enchao, "Is there anyone in the palace gossiping about Le Ling?"

"this"

Yang Enchao hesitated for a moment, then respectfully said: "I heard that there are."

Seeing the expression on Yang Enchao's face, Emperor Yu and Empress Xue looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes.

Yang Enchao, the young supervisor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, has no doubts about his loyalty. If it was a servant of the palace who was gossiping, he must have secretly punished him long ago.

Can make him put on this expression, and use the word "heard\

,"Obviously, there is not just one person who is gossiping, but a group of people.

And its specific identity is not suitable to be revealed on the occasion of Yanying Hall - concubine, prince, princess, or both.

"."

The corners of Queen Xue's mouth pulled down slightly,

With the dignity of a princess, making friends with ordinary women who have no official status, or even maids who serve tea, wash and cook for the master in other people's homes,

To spread the word is to lose the face of Royal Li Yu.

Do you want to show some face to Tianjia?

If it was another princess, Empress Xue would have to teach her a lesson with her majestic aura.

But it happened to be Li Leling (not an adopted daughter), the youngest daughter who was frail and sickly, loved and doted on by the emperor and empress couple in every possible way.

"Who dares to spread rumors in the palace again, is it because life is too easy?"

Empress Xue narrowed her eyes slightly, and there was a hint of coldness in her tone.

"OK OK."

Emperor Yu patted the back of his wife's hand lightly, and comforted him: "Even if it is not spread in the palace, it will be spread outside the palace. It is impossible to seal the mouths of so many people."

The best solution to maintain the majesty of Li Yu's royal family is naturally to prohibit Li Leling from interacting with Chai Cuiqiao, or to let Chai Cuiqiao enter the palace as a female official. But like his wife, Emperor Yu didn't want to see his daughter sad.

"But."

Empress Xue still frowned slightly, "What if in the future? Le Ling has grown up too."

"after?"

Li Shun paused, and immediately realized what his wife meant. Li Leling ran to Jinchengfang every day, apart from Chai Cuiqiao's reason, it should, probably, couldn't be because he fell in love with Li Ang, right?

Considering that she has been weak and sick since she was a child, and grew up in the inner garden of the imperial palace, she hardly ever stepped out of the palace.

It's normal to come into contact with peers in the academy, young Mu Shaoai, and young Aimu.

"Well"

Li Shun frowned slightly. As Emperor Yu, he admired Li Ang very much—first cured Yan Yundang, formulated a malaria prevention strategy, and then took out forceps and allicin to solve dystocia and blood carbuncle diseases.

No amount of reward can be overstated.

As a father, Li Shun also felt that the candidate for his son-in-law was very suitable - Li Ang did not admire power, was talented and intelligent, had a resolute and self-reliant personality, and had almost no shortcomings except his love of making money.

Emperor Yu asked: "By the way, I heard that there is only one maid in the Jinchengfang house that I rewarded Li Ang? Li Ang dotes on her very much?"

"Yes. There are rumors circulating that Mr. Li Xiaolang is the inventor of soap, scented soap, and absorbent cotton, and his original intention of inventing these things was to make that maid relax."

Yang Enchao, the junior supervisor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, said respectfully: "In addition, it is also rumored that Mr. Li Xiaolang is good at business management. He often buys calligraphy, paintings, ancient books, etc., and also buys a lot of expensive gold and silver jewelry for his maids to wear. I envy the ladies of the same workshop."

"Is it."

Empress Xue nodded. Extravagance and being able to make money are not shortcomings, but long-term love is even more of an advantage. "Isn't Li Ang not engaged yet?"

"I haven't heard of it yet."

Yang Enchao replied truthfully that as a young supervisor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, inquiring about news inside and outside the palace, collecting information about people around the prince and princess, and responding to inquiries from the emperor and empress is one of the most basic skills.

Empress Xue asked, "When he was admitted to be the number one scholar in the academy, the Yan family didn't make an in-law for him first? What about the other nobles in Chang'an City?"

Li Ang cured Yan Yundang's anemia at the beginning, and the two families have close contacts. Although Li Ang was admitted to the academy by his own strength, it can't be called the relationship of "the master of the examination paper", but it should be close to the water. That's right.

"The daughters of the Yan family don't seem to be of the same age. The marriage proposals of other nobles were also declined by Mr. Li Xiaolang."

"Um."

Empress Xue nodded in satisfaction, and continued to ask about Li Ang's situation, his birth date, and the rumors in the market, which made Yang Enchao stammer a little, claiming to go back to investigate again.

Emperor Yu smiled and shook his head when he saw this, but he was concerned. Empress Xue, who usually ruled the harem and overwhelmed the concubines, did not dare to breathe loudly.

Slap.

A slight sound came from the drawer under the table, Emperor Yu frowned, opened the drawer, and took out a black envelope from it.

His expression became serious in an instant, and Empress Xue also stopped talking with the servant at the same time.

Brush pull.

Emperor Yu opened the envelope, read the letter inside, and frowned tightly.

Seeing this, Empress Xue asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"See for yourself."

Emperor Yu rubbed his brows, and passed the letter over, "The secret spy lurking in Turkic sent back news that Turkic Khan has recently launched a spy in Yu State, intending to steal the production process of allicin."
