Capture the Jade:

Lin Chengyou looked up and thought for a while. Although Teng Yuyi has a big temper and loves to hold grudges, she has good knowledge and skills.

Then why didn't she return it so late?

Couldn't it be that he didn't speak clearly enough when he gave her the thing that day, making her mistakenly think that the bell was given to her.

But even if Teng Yuyi doesn't know Taoism, he should be able to see that Xuanyinling is a rare magic weapon in the world. He and her are neither related nor for any reason, so how could he give her the magic weapon for no reason.

Maybe she got stuck on something, but it's been a day and a night, even if she doesn't have time, she can always send out people below to deliver things.

He pondered over and over again, his curiosity could not be suppressed, but it is a pity that he can't leave the palace today, otherwise he can ask her in person to understand.

Forget it, let's talk about it when we leave the palace tomorrow. But in this way, he had to meet her again. Hey, it's a bit annoying. I thought I wouldn't see her again, but I had to go to Tengfu.

The Xiaogong didn't hear Lin Chengyou speak for a while, and asked carefully, "His Royal Highness?"

"Understood, let the slaves don't care about it, I will care about it myself."

After saying that, he turned around, but someone behind him called him: "Ah Da."

Lin Chengyou turned his head and looked over, and there was a person walking at the end of the corridor, with a correct appearance and a gentle demeanor, it was the prince.

"Ah Qi."

The concerned expression of the prince is exactly the same as that of the sage: "Have you seen my grandfather, is the wound serious?"

Lin Chengyou said with a smile: "Look, the wound is very shallow, and uncle's medicine powder was wasted."

The prince made a gesture to punch Lin Chengyou lightly: "I don't know you yet, I seem to be fine when the sky falls, and I couldn't find you in the first few days. Let's fight hard, and today, for the sake of your injury, I will let you go for now."

Lin Chengyou dodged the prince's fist sideways, raised his eyebrows and said, "The prince has learned a new trick? This has not been done yet, so how do you know who will let who go?"

"Crazy boy, you are not honest when you are injured, you don't have to provoke me, I will never fight with you today."

The palace people pursed their lips and laughed. The prince is usually the most lenient and stable, but when he sees the prince Cheng, he will inevitably fight and quarrel. This is not surprising. There are not many children in this generation in the palace, and there are only four brothers. , the saint and the queen gave birth to two princes, A Qi and A Lin, and the Chengwang couple gave birth to two brothers, A Da and A Shuang.

Among the four brothers, Ah Qi, who has just been canonized as the prince, is the closest in age to Prince Cheng. It would be strange if there were no more than two tricks to meet each other.

The palace people over there have already reported to the emperor, Changyi and Azhi happily ran out from the corner of the corridor: "Brother Prince."

In the evening, the family banquet was held in the Daming Palace where the Empress usually lived. Empress Liu Bingyu was in charge of the recipes, and the Shangshi Bureau was in charge of the cooking. The soup is also white as jade in quality. The juniors were overjoyed and sweated profusely after eating.

After the meal, the queen claimed that she had eaten too much and wanted to digest food. She took Azhi and Changyi to feed the fish in front of the Bibo Pond. The prince played chess with Lin Chengyou at the Yingcui Pavilion. The emperor sat beside him, drinking tea and watching chess .

Accompanied by the fragrance of flowers, the gentle night breeze gently swayed the buttery yellow gauze around the water pavilion. Standing under the bright moonlight, the queen bent down and handed the fish food in her hands to the two children.

Suddenly, hearty laughter erupted from the Yingcui Pavilion. The queen got up and looked over. It turned out that Lin Chengyou wanted to regret the game on purpose. Unable to stop, the first one laughed, and his smile caused Lin Chengyou and the prince to throw away their chess pieces and laugh.

The queen looked at her husband's smile and was genuinely happy. Chengyou must have seen that the emperor's uncle was worried about political affairs and tried to make him happy. How many times did the saint laugh.

She raised her voice and said with a smile: "Sage and I wish we could hold family banquets every day, but the children are getting older day by day, so how can we enjoy each other all day. Last year, Jingyi married a son-in-law. It became quite deserted, and the four of you took turns to go to the army for training. Ah Qi and Ah Da just came back, and this year it was A Lin's turn again. My mother went out to play, I figured it out, and my daughter is caring, Ah Qi, Ah Da, please take good care of my sister, in the future, Ah Zhi and Changyi will have to choose a son-in-law a few years later."

Changyi raised her pink and round face: "Aniang, why did you and grandpa want to open Yunyin Academy all of a sudden?"

Last night, she learned from the chat between Grandpa and Niang that Yunyin College is a girls' college on the surface, but in fact it secretly intends to choose a concubine for the children of the clan. When it comes to a wife he likes, he won't take her to play with A Zhi.

The queen handed the fish food to the maid behind her, and took her daughter and Ah Zhi's hand for a walk on the winding corridor: "This matter is not a temporary idea of ​​A Niang, I discussed it with your aunt and the others the year before, Yun Yin The academy was originally founded by Empress Mu, who founded the dynasty, with the purpose of cultivating outstanding talents. The scriptures in the academy are not like "women's training" and "women's commandments", but the same as what men learn. The main point. Although later generations have repeatedly interrupted the school for various reasons, they have also cultivated many harem husbands over the years. If it can be reopened in the hands of A Niang, it will be a blessing. Regardless of the daughters of high-ranking officials in the two capitals, the daughters of officials from other places are also included."

The queen's voice drifted intermittently into the pavilion through the gauze curtain. Lin Chengyou was still absent-minded at first, but paused when he heard "officials from other places".

Hey, did my uncle agree to reopen the academy for this reason? All the officials of this dynasty know the origin of Yunyin Academy. If they can recruit the students of the academy to keep the daughters of several Jiedu envoys in Beijing to study, and then choose a few noble marriages for them at the right time, that would be great. It is undoubtedly a technique of checks and balances for several strong foreigners.

The crown prince also asked: "My lord is planning to take advantage of this time when all the officials come to Beijing to report on their work?"

The emperor's expression was a bit serious, and he waved his hand to screen the palace people in the pavilion: "I have ordered the Secretary of State to draw up an order, and I will discuss it with a few veteran officials tonight. You went to the Zouyuan at noon, and what did you see?" How many Jiedu envoys?"

The prince replied: "My son met Teng Shao of Huainan Road and Peng Sishun of Huaixi Road. Teng Shao led the army to transport 100,000 shijiangmi to Beijing, which happened to relieve the urgent needs of the four towns in Guanzhong. Peng Sishun was in good health It's not getting better anymore, the head is toothless, and you can't go in and out without shoulders. According to my son, I'm afraid I won't survive this year."

"It's hard for him." The emperor sighed, "Since Peng Sishun took over the Huaixi Road, he has never failed the court's expectations of him. Over the years, he has herded the Li Shu outside and inspected the army internally, and managed the huge Huaixi Road in peace. Orderly, not only my grandfather, but all the civil and military officials are very impressed with him, yesterday he asked for an order to transfer the military power to the eldest son Peng Zhen, and my grandfather has already agreed."

Lin Chengyou stroked his chin, as if quite surprised.

The emperor looked at Lin Chengyou, and every time he talked about government affairs, this child never interrupted indiscriminately. The imperial power was poisonous, and he especially didn't want children to be restrained in front of him, so he sighed: "If there is anything to be taboo in front of uncle, just say what you want."

Lin Chengyou thought for a while and said: "Peng Sishun is very good at managing the army. Huaixi Road is now dominant, and the neighbors are afraid of it. If the Peng family takes over the military power again, I'm afraid it will cause trouble. Wait for the power of the Peng family." Generation after generation has infiltrated the Central Plains, and it may be difficult for the imperial court to regain military power. Uncle, why not wait for Peng Sishun to die of illness, and then transfer his eldest son Peng Zhen back to Beijing, entrust him with an official position, and promise him a generous salary. The family has a different heart."

The emperor's eyes showed approval: "This is easy to say, but it is very difficult to do. First of all, Peng Sishun has never asked the court for food and salary for many years. Why do you think it is? Come thousands of officers and soldiers, what do you eat and use on weekdays?

Lin Chengyou said: "This nephew does know that, as the saying goes, 'if you are in a hurry, you will be a soldier, and if you are idle, you will cultivate the land'. The loyal army under Peng Sishun's command is both fighting and farming, and they can quite afford their own food."

"Exactly. In addition, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, Peng Sishun also intentionally ordered the sergeants to marry the local tyrants and common people. If the generals are transferred away, which general can successfully take over such an army? If the new commander cannot subdue the local generals, mutiny will happen sooner or later."

The crown prince frowned slightly: "What if we pull the loyal army away from Huaixi Road?"

Lin Chengyou held the chess piece and thought to himself, this is not going to work, if the camp is forcibly pulled out, not only will the loyal army not be able to continue self-sufficiency, but it will also have hundreds of thousands more mouths to eat.

Emperor: "If you move to another place, a large number of soldiers' wives and children will also accompany you. It is not easy for the court to just supplement the rations of hundreds of thousands of loyal soldiers. The extra soldiers' wives and children will need a large amount of rations."

"That's why uncle thought of reopening the academy? Then...Peng Sishun is willing to send his granddaughter to Yunyin Academy?"

The emperor said with relief: "When my uncle asked the courtiers to ask for their opinions, Peng Sishun was the first one to express his opinion. It happened that Peng Zhen's wife and daughter were on their way to Chang'an, and Peng Zhen also strongly expressed his approval."

The crown prince and Lin Chengyou looked at each other. The Pengs took the initiative to keep their wives and daughters under the eyes of the court, which was also a gesture of loyalty to the court. In the future, when the imperial court proposes a marriage between the Peng family's daughter and the high-ranking son, the Peng family will have no objection, and they have done this. No wonder Grandpa agreed to Peng Zhen to take over the military power so quickly.

"As for Teng Shao..." the emperor continued, "It just so happens that Cheng Shouan of the Jiangnan West Road resigned due to illness, and my grandfather plans to hand over the Jiangnan West Road to Teng Shao as well."

Lin Chengyou was a little surprised. He knew that his uncle had a lot of trust in Teng Shao, but he didn't expect such a trust. Huainan Road not only controls the taxation of Jianghuai, but also Shouzhou within its jurisdiction is very important. This state is connected to Chenying Waterway in the north and Luzhou in the south, which is an important "middle road" from the Central Plains to Jianghuai.

Besides, Shouzhou is rich and rich, and there is a large amount of tea tax revenue every year. In this state alone, it is easy to support Teng Shao's Zhen Haijun.

If the Jiangnan West Road is assigned to Teng Shao's jurisdiction, even the Jiangxia junction will be handed over. This place guards the Hanshuiyun Road, which is the most important thing.

The emperor asked Lin Chengyou: "Tell me why uncle arranged this way."

Lin Chengyou said with a smile: "Uncle's arrangement couldn't be more appropriate. The Jiangxia junction is under the jurisdiction of one person, and Teng Shao can use Xiakou water transport to prevent Huaixi. Concerned about Zhen Haijun next to him, the two tribes check each other, which is more beneficial to the imperial court than disadvantageous. It's just... my nephew heard that the Wuning Army of Jiangnan West Road has been disobedient since Li Changqing's death, and has changed commanders several times in just three years. Shou'an suddenly resigned due to illness, because he could not convince the people in office, if General Teng took over the army rashly, I don't know what will happen."

The prince said softly: "Leaving it to others may cause nuisance, but handing it over to Teng Shao has no such concerns. Ada, you have never had a close relationship with General Teng, but I have seen Teng Shao governing the army with my own eyes. This man is so righteous. Everyone in the army admires him."

Lin Chengyou nodded, but he had forgotten that the prince went to Teng Shao's military training last year. Seriously speaking, Teng Shao was half of the prince's teacher. Every time the prince mentioned Teng Shao, he always seemed to agree with him.

Emperor: "This is just one of them. Grandpa let Teng Shao take charge of the Wuning Army, because several veterans of the Wuning Army served under Teng Shao's father Teng Yuanhao in the early years. These people have to respect Teng Shao first. Respectfully call him "Sanlang", no matter how tough and unruly he is, he would not dare to trouble Teng Shao. You two should have heard of Teng Yuanhao."

The crown prince and Lin Chengyou said solemnly: "Of course I have heard of it. This gentleman is indeed a hero."

The emperor nodded: "Back then, the Hu rebellion plotted against the country. If Teng Yuanhao hadn't led the army to defend Nanyang and Suiyang, the grain transportation in the Jianghuai area would have been difficult to preserve. He and his two sons defended the city for several months. After more than two hundred battles, large and small, they beheaded nearly 100,000 enemies. In the end, due to the exhaustion of troops, the three of them died in the hands of Hu rebels.

Speaking of this, the emperor sighed: "In detail, the court owed a lot to the Teng family. After Teng Yuanhao and his eldest son and second son died in the country, only Teng Shao was left in the Teng family. Teng Shao was only three years old that year. To be able to go to the battlefield, Teng Yuanhao handed down his words on the eve of his death, and told his young son to be loyal and filial. Teng Shao never failed his father and brother's expectations when he was an adult. Xidao's handsome position is empty, and there is no more suitable candidate than Teng Shao."

Lin Chengyou thought to himself, there are nearly 200,000 sergeants under Teng Shao's command at the meeting of the Zhenhai Navy and the Wuning Army. Even if his uncle trusts Teng Shao, he will take some precautions under the advice of the courtiers Act of. The reopening of Yunyin Academy is a good idea, but I don't know if Teng Shao is willing to send his daughter to the academy to study.

Suddenly thought of Teng Yuyi's watery and sly eyes. With her temperament, how could she be willing to let the court arrange her marriage?

Guo heard the prince ask: "My lord, how did General Teng respond to the reopening of Yunyin Academy?"

The emperor said: "Several Jiedu envoys have expressed their views one after another, but Teng Shao has not said anything. His daughter has been engaged to Duan Ningyuan of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion since she was a child, but the Teng and Duan families have withdrawn a few days ago. Yes, I think the reason why he is hesitant is that he is unwilling to leave his daughter's marriage to the royal family to decide, but even though the court reopened Yunyin Academy, it is unwilling to force the marriage. Later, I summoned Teng Shao in private to have a good chat with him Talk to him, tell him this is just a stopgap measure, and when he understands the painstaking efforts of the court, he will not worry too much."

At this moment, Chang Yi and Ah Zhi ran in and dragged Lin Chengyou: "Brother Ah, come out quickly, that fish has been refusing to take the bait, please help us to see it."

Lin Chengyou had no choice but to put down his chess pieces and stood up. As soon as he walked to the door, the queen entered the water pavilion: "Speaking of the Wang sisters, I had a relationship with them back then. After my sister married the famous Du family, my sister married General Teng, it's just that I didn't expect Xiao Wang to leave so early. I just found out that General Teng has only one daughter under his knees today...hasn't he been married all these years?"

Lin Chengyou paused, Changyi and Azhi were stunned.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Chengyou hissed like a toothache, and pointed to the injury on his arm: "It hurts."

Changyi and Azhi panicked all of a sudden: "Ah, I forgot that my brother's injury is still not healed." Surrounding Lin Chengyou to see his wound, how could they remember going fishing outside.

I heard the emperor say: "After Xiao Wang's death, many people persuaded Teng Shao to continue his concubine or take a concubine, but Teng Shao was willing to entrust his daughter to his wife and sister to take care of him and did not renew her. It happened that his brother-in-law Du Yuzhi was killed. Relegated to Yangzhou as a civil servant, Teng Shao's daughter has been living in Yangzhou since then. A few years later, Teng Shao was finally transferred to Huainan Road as Jiedushi, but Zhenhaijun's government has always been in Shouzhou, so although the father and daughter are the same In the same place, there is less gathering and more separation. Teng Shao lived in the government all year round, and he refused to reunite, so naturally he had no way to have children."

The queen sighed and said: "I heard people say the day before yesterday that General Teng had premature birth before he was 40. I think he missed his dead wife all these years."

The prince helped his mother to sit down: "By the way, my son also saw a person in Jinzuoyuan today. This person's name is Li Guangyuan. When my son went, this person was greeting with General Teng. He heard that Yunyin Academy was reopened." General Teng refused to talk about this matter, but Li Guangyuan was full of glory, saying that if his daughter was lucky enough to study in the academy, she would be a classmate with General Teng's daughter. My son felt that this person was unfamiliar, so he found out that everyone in eastern Zhejiang knew about it. Soldiers and horses."

The emperor smiled and said: "It's not surprising that you don't know this person. Li Guangyuan was originally a lieutenant general under Teng Shao. When there was a rebellion, Teng Shao dispatched an army to quell the rebellion, and the leader was Li Guangyuan. Li Guangyuan used his troops bravely and put down the rebellion in eastern Zhejiang in just one month. Inspector. The year before last year when Jiangsu and Zhejiang were flooded, Li Guangyuan made great achievements. The imperial court promoted him to serve as a soldier and horse envoy in the east of Zhejiang. He did not invite credit without authorization, and after several years in office, the silk and shipyards in eastern Zhejiang became more and more prosperous, and this time he went to Beijing to report on his work, the imperial court will inevitably reward him."

The queen suddenly said: "I asked why Li Guangyuan's name is so familiar. A few days ago, I heard in a daze that this man has a daughter who can predict disasters. Take precautions."

The emperor was stunned: "These people have actually fiddled with you. I have seen many capable people and strangers in the world over the years. Even if it is just to predict the amount of rain this year, it will take a lot of effort. Li Guangyuan I heard that my daughter is only fifteen or sixteen years old, so how can I predict good or bad? Li Guang is far inferior to those meritorious children like Teng Shao. People are afraid that he will stay in an important position in Chang'an and deliberately spread rumors in front of you."

The queen stuffed a huge apricot into her husband's mouth, and said with a smile: "I scolded them last time, and if they dare to use these ghostly tricks in front of me next time, I will make them beat them out." Go to the palace."

The emperor ate with a smile, his soft eyes entangled with his wife's.

When Lin Chengyou heard about Li Guangyuan, he was already not interested. At this time, he saw the situation of the emperor and empress through the window, smiled and took two steps back, then turned his head and said to Azhi and Changyi: "Take You go fishing in the lotus pond outside Linde Hall? The fish there are more clever, and it is much more interesting to catch than the dumb fish here."

"Brother, can you walk? Your injury was still in pain just now."

Lin Chengyou didn't change his face: "It was just now, now is now, anyway, now brother is not in pain anymore."

But the emperor said in the waterside pavilion: "You have an injury on your arm. Tonight, you will honestly stay in front of your uncle and aunt and you are not allowed to go anywhere. The day after tomorrow, the father-in-law celebrates his birthday, so you can help your aunt with some ideas."

***

Early the next morning, Teng Yuyi asked someone to deliver a post to Prince Cheng's Mansion. On the surface, he wanted to pay homage to Princess Azhi, but in fact he wanted to tell Lin Chengyou about Xuanyinling. Unexpectedly, both Lin Chengyou and Princess Azhi were not in the mansion.

Go to Qingyun Guanli again, and the old monks and Taoist priests in the temple also said that the son has not returned to the temple.

Teng Yuyi thought that Lin Chengyou was either in Dali Temple or in the palace, and she could not visit these two places without authorization, so she had to temporarily stop her plan to find Lin Chengyou.

Seeing that it was still early, Teng Yuyi changed her clothes and prepared to go to the West Market. However, before she could go out, Xiaoya crawled out and told her that it was best not to go out in the next few days. Going out and encountering evil again, don't expect him to protect her.

Teng Yuyi had just escaped, so of course she didn't dare to take any chances, so she simply stayed in the mansion and let Huo Qiu teach her how to practice swordsmanship. In the evening, she invited Cheng Bo over again, and said while wiping the sword: "I thought it was Duanfu. I need to take care of it for a while, but I don't know that his internal strength is different from ordinary people, I went to see him just now, his wound is almost healed, let him go to the banquet with me tomorrow."

Cheng Bo hurriedly agreed. Back then, the master sent Duan Fu to his wife not only because of Duan Fu's outstanding skills, but also because he was an eunuch, so he could follow his wife into and out of the inner courtyard when necessary, and he didn't have to worry about like ordinary guards .

Teng Yuyi said again: "By the way, you can find out clearly that Lu Zhaoan will be invited to the national father's birthday banquet this time?"

"Invited. Not only Lu Zhaoan, but also Jinshi this year will go to the banquet."

Teng Yuyi was taken aback for a moment: "Last time, Lu Zhaoan was disarmed by the evil corpse in Prince Cheng's mansion, did he recover so quickly?"

Cheng Bo: "Last time, Prince Cheng specially invited Yu Fengyu from Shangyao Bureau to give Lu Zhaoan a consultation. It is estimated that Lu Zhaoan is fine. "

Teng Yuyi said with a sarcasm, "What a hypocritical and lofty talent. Although my sister's letter has been retrieved, Lu Zhaoan's mouth is still growing on him. This man's tricks are not right. If he is allowed to stay in Chang'an, he will die sooner or later." It's a disaster."

Cheng Bo: "The lady wants to..."

Teng Yuyi thought for a while and said, "I didn't have time to pay attention to Lu Zhaoan a while ago, Uncle Cheng, please list his whereabouts these days and show me."

The next day before dawn, Cheng Bo sent someone to wake up Teng Yuyi, saying that the master was already waiting in the central hall, and that Yusuchuan was in the outer suburbs of Chang'an, and the drive would take at least two hours. Depart early when necessary.

Not long after, the Du family also came, and Teng Yuyi was sleepy, dressed up, and got on the calf cart.

Du Yuzhi took Teng Shao to exchange greetings, Mrs. Du took Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan to the same car, and Duan Fu sat outside the curtain, helping the driver drive the car.

In the car, Du Tinglan helped Teng Yuyi straighten the biluo crown on her head, and then looked down at the lotus seed white smoke cloud brocade skirt on her body: "I have seen other girls wear this color before, but Ayu looks good in it. "

Madam Du gently pinched Teng Yuyi's cheek: "The more expensive the clothes, the more picky they are. This child's skin is as transparent as water, and he is not afraid of any tricky colors. Just now your grandfather told me , He is busy with government affairs recently, after celebrating his birthday today, he may rush back to Chang'an overnight, and said that it is rare for you to come out to play with us, and I want you to stay and have fun for a few days... Good boy, don't yawn, if you are really sleepy If you are in a panic, just lean on your aunt and sleep for a while."

Teng Yuyi rubbed her eyes and leaned her head on Mrs. Du's shoulder, but with this movement, several things fell out of her sleeve pocket.

"What is this?" Du Tinglan picked up those few things, "Ayu, it's fine if you hide a medicine pot on your body, why do you hide a bald pen?"

Teng Yuyi opened her eyes slightly, and then closed her eyes quickly: "The medicine jar is the Hu medicine that my grandfather gave me. It is said that it can stop bleeding and prevent poison. The bald pen was given by the Taoist priest of Dongming Temple. Don't look at its ugly appearance. , Last time in Caifeng Tower, I used it to block the monster. I was frightened by the corpse, and I will stay here for two nights when I return to Yusuchuan, so don’t worry if I don’t bring more self-defense.”

Du Tinglan's expression froze, and he carefully put the things back into Teng Yuyi's sleeve pocket: "Where are there so many evil spirits, besides, there are so many people at the birthday banquet this time, even if there are really evil things, I dare not come to offend them."

The driving took more than two hours, and we arrived at Yusuchuan at noon. This place is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it has always been an excellent place to live in a quiet and elegant place. In addition to the Royal Forest Garden, there are many villas built by the nobles and rich families. Open the window and look out, you can see the towering and beautiful Qinglan from a distance, and the gurgling of springs and stones can be heard near.

Teng Yuyi embraced the scenery in his arms, and gradually lost his drowsiness.

She heard that Liu Guozhang's Le Dao Villa was originally the permanent property of the Liu family's ancestors. Although the villa occupies a large area, the furnishings are very dilapidated. A few years ago, the saint sent the queen here to visit relatives. Du Han was so despicable, so he ordered to repair it. The craftsmen deliberately carved Zhuangzi in order to please the saint and queen. After more than a year of repairs, this place has become a leader in other industries in the Onsugawa River.

Today, the Le Dao Villa is extremely lively, with a steady stream of fragrant chariots and horses. When the calf carts are approaching, it is difficult to find a place to stay.

Teng Shao, Du Yuzhi and his son got off their horses in front of the door, and some servants led the Teng family's women's calf cart in from the side door.

Walking all the way in, you can see the marshes are surrounded by a myriad of landscapes. In addition to the bamboo pavilion and the lotus pavilion, there are also thousands of flowering trees, which either undulate and scatter with the mountains, or twist and turn with the water, and the colors are endless due to the water.

Madam Du was shaking the round fan lightly while admiring the scenery through the window, when she suddenly heard a voice not far away, she said in surprise: "This voice sounds familiar."

Looking intently, he seemed a little surprised, and then turned around to look at Teng Yuyi suspiciously.

Du Tinglan and Teng Yuyi wondered: "What's wrong?"

The two of them put their heads together and looked out, and they were stunned for a while. I saw a group of noble children passing by chatting and laughing, Lin Chengyou and Chun'an County King walked side by side, that beautiful voice came from Lin Chengyou.

Lin Chengyou wears a turquoise jade belt around his waist, and a pair of red boots wrapped with golden silk with Ruyi cloud pattern under his feet. The good figure is especially suave and outstanding under the scorching sun.

The key point is that Lin Chengyou is also wearing a lotus white smoke and cloud brocade round-neck gown today. Although there is a group of gold and silver silk dark patterns embroidered on the front chest, anyone can see that the color and fabric are similar to Teng Yuyi's gown exactly the same.

Madam Du and Du Tinglan were amazed: "This, this...is such a coincidence."

Lin Chengyou's five senses were extremely keen, he glanced out of the corner of his eye, and turned to look at the Teng family's calf cart.

Teng Yuyi leaned back to avoid his sight, it was indeed a coincidence, as if she had made an appointment with Lin Chengyou, but unfortunately the dress she brought was in the car behind, otherwise it would be better to change it immediately.

"Don't rush to change, male guests and female relatives are separated, and there are so many people today, no one will pay attention to these. After getting out of the car, just find a chance to change when you return to your room." Du Tinglan and Mrs. Du said.

"That's right." Teng Yuyi calmed down, and suddenly felt that Xiaoya's sword in her sleeve was hot, thinking that Xiaoya became agitated in advance when she heard that Lin Chengyou was nearby, she patted the hilt of the sword, signaling Xiaoya not to worry .

Madam Du saw the figure of King Chun'an, and said again: "Last time, if it wasn't for the help of King Chun'an, Lan'er would not be able to enter Ziyun Tower to detoxify so quickly. A few days ago, the master brought Shaotang to the door to thank you , the county king not only refused to accept the gift, but also set up wine to entertain the master and Shaotang. After the master said it, he was full of praise, saying that His Royal Highness is a master of poetry, and his knowledge is not inferior to Hongru from the Imperial College."

Teng Yuyi knew the name of His Majesty the Prince of the County in her previous life. I heard that he was unsmiling, but his conduct was good. Even his father praised him for being generous with money. .

She asked curiously: "Has the Prince of Chun'an never engaged in marriage?"

Madam Du said vaguely: "Although the King of Chun'an and King Cheng are brothers, they were born to his step-wife. The step-wife passed away two years ago, and His Royal Highness did not intend to marry him in order to keep his filial piety."

Teng Yuyi paused, and suddenly remembered that in his previous life, he once heard people talking behind his back. The gang sympathized with Lang and framed Lin Xiao, the heir of Prince Lan at that time, but was caught by King Lan and revealed himself.

Lan Wang not only hated Cui's infidelity, but also hated her for framing the eldest son. In a rage, he expelled Cui from Prince Lan's mansion. However, in order to protect the face of the royal family, he only said that Cui was seriously ill.

For the next few years, the Cui family has been under house arrest in other courtyards, not to mention raising their son personally, and they can't even see their son. In the first few years, King Lan died of illness, and the Cui family also died of depression.

With such a biological mother, the marriage of Chun'an County King will inevitably be more difficult.

Madam Du said again: "Your Royal Highness is not too young. Recently, many courtiers in Chang'an went to the palace to entrust their relationship and intend to marry their daughters to His Royal Highness, but the saint and the queen said that the marriage is all up to the Prince It means that His Royal Highness is pure and self-loving, and his character is also precious, and I don’t know whose daughter will have such a good fortune in the end.”

Over there, Lin Chengyou glanced at the Teng family's calf cart from a distance. Yesterday he had something to do and he didn't bother to ask Teng Yuyi to ask for Xuanyinling. He had been curious about this for two days, and he had to ask her face to face before giving up.

The king of Chun'an County looked at the past, and said strangely: "Ada, what are you looking at?"

Lin Chengyou: "I'm looking for Gu Xian from Nanzhao Kingdom. This kid said he wanted to come to me, but he hasn't been seen yet."

Suddenly, several eyes fell on his face, and when he looked up, he saw several other carts in front of the Teng family's cart. The window curtains of the carts were still swinging slightly, obviously they had just been put down.

Since he was a child, Lin Chengyou has often been secretly looked at by the little lady through the window. Seeing that they are the wagons of a few female relatives, he doesn't bother to pay attention to them, and walks into the hanging flower gate.

***

Teng Yuyi did not have time to change clothes, so she got out of the car with her aunt and cousin, and someone led them to meet the female relatives.

Guo Zhang's birthday will be celebrated tomorrow, today is not a formal banquet, lunch is more casual, and it will be held in Qiulin Garden.

Seats for female family members are divided into two groups, one group is for wives and old ladies from various prefectures, and the food table is set in the spacious Linxie. The other group is young ladies from various prefectures, and the food table is placed under the flower tree outside.

When the ladies sat at the banquet, petals sometimes fell from the trees, either on the snacks or on the hair buns of the girls. From a distance, there was a pink flower rain, adding to the feast. A wild taste.

Mrs. Du brought two juniors to offer gifts, and was soon invited to the ladies' table. Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan entered the forest together under the guidance of the servants.

The noble ladies were whispering, but they suddenly quieted down. After listening to the servants, they found out that the gentle beauty on the left is the daughter of Dr. Du from the Imperial Academy, and on the right is the daughter of Teng Shao. The two sisters They were all born so beautiful that they overwhelmed the spring scenery of the forest.

All the girls looked at Teng Yuyi curiously, seeing her icy skin and bones, radiant and moving, they couldn't move their eyes away, when Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan approached, the girls bowed and saluted at the table.

Among these girls, Teng Yuyi knew at most half of them, such as Deng Qingluan, the granddaughter of Deng Zhiyao, a member of Zhongshushe, whom she met in her previous life, and Wu Qi, the second daughter of Yushi Zhongcheng Wu Ruyun.

However, for this banquet, she asked Cheng Bo to make a list of female relatives in advance, and immediately took the opportunity of returning the gift to match the names and appearances of these people secretly. Suddenly, someone said with a smile: "Miss Teng, Lady Du, come and sit down."

Looking up, it was Zheng Shuangyin, the daughter of Zheng Pushe's family. She and Tendu met each other at the poetry meeting in Chengwang Mansion last time, and they were considered familiar with each other.

Du Tinglan was a little hesitant, but Teng Yuyi happily took her cousin to the table.

After the meal, the stewards came to arrange the dormitories of the female relatives, some were placed in Bailuxuan, and some were placed in Yueming Tower.

Madam Du brought Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan to live in a wing room of Yueming Building, and the adjacent rooms were all the wives of various officials.

Teng Yuyi is looking out from the corridor, the mountains and rivers in the distance are graceful, and the flowers and trees nearby are like fire clouds reflecting the clear sky. If it wasn't for her to make bath soup for Xiaoya, I really want to let go of all worries and have fun for a few days.

Biluo found a smoky purple skirt, and asked Teng Yuyi with regret on her face: "My lady, this new lotus seed white skirt has only been worn for half a day. Do you really want to change?"

"Change." Teng Yuyi returned to the room and said, "Hey, where is my puppet?"

Biluo pouted inward: "The spring velvet has already been stuffed under the pillow for the lady."

"I'll go and see."

Madam Du shook her head with a smile. After all, she was old, and her body was sore after a day of riding in the car.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door of the room, but Mrs. Du's lady in charge, Mrs. Gui, had returned.

Madam Du asked softly: "Master and Eldest Young Master didn't drink too much, did they?"

Lady Gui whispered something to Madam Du, Madam Du's expression changed: "This child!"

"Auntie, what happened?"

Madam Du waved the servants in the room and said angrily: "The master took Shaotang to settle in the wing room, but found that Shaotang secretly hid a cloth bag in his luggage. I only found out after asking. Shaotang heard that Lu Zhaoan also came. I'm looking for an opportunity to beat Lu Zhaoan up. Fortunately, the master found out in time, and people from all the prefectures have come today, so what if there is a commotion."

Du Tinglan bit her lip: "It's all because of me, I'll go talk about brother."

Teng Yuyi pulled Du Tinglan back: "Sister, Shaotang always has a childlike attitude in front of you and your aunt. He may not listen to some things you say, so let me say it."

***

The wing room of Du Shaotang and his son is placed in Yequanxuan, which is only a garden away from Yueminglou. Teng Yuyi took Biluo and Chunrong to wait for a while at the Chamomile Pavilion in the garden, and saw a thin young man in Chinese clothes hurrying over from afar.

"Cousin."

Teng Yuyi signaled Chun Rong and Bi Luo to step aside, and asked, "Where is the cloth bag, show me it."

There were tears in the corners of Du Shaotang's eyes, and he sat down at the opposite table sullenly: "It was confiscated by my grandfather."

Teng Yuyi sighed secretly, she was still the same as in her previous life, she would only cry when things happened, she asked him: "Why didn't you hide it? It's all right now, it was confiscated before I started."

Du Shaotang raised his head in surprise, thinking that Cousin Yu would accuse him like Grandpa did, but what he was waiting for was such a sentence.

"Cousin Yu, don't you talk about me?"

"Why should I accuse you? I want to teach Lu Zhaoan a lesson more than you do." Teng Yuyi smiled, "But have you ever thought about it, once he finds out that you did it, he is very likely to reveal what happened to my sister Come on, to him, this matter is nothing more than a harmless love affair, but sister's reputation has been completely ruined."

Gritting his teeth, Du Shaotang said, "I've already planned it... I will never let him know."

"Very good." Teng Yuyi nodded with relief, "You are old enough to make a move after you know the plan, but even if you succeed, so what, Lu Zhaoan can at best heal his injury for half a month, and he can still be decent after that A great talent."

Du Shaotang was stunned.

"To deal with this kind of person, it's too cheap to just beat him up, at least let him get out of Chang'an in ruins."

"Cousin Yu——"

Teng Yuyi stood up and paced back and forth. The death of her cousin in her previous life was a thorn in her heart. According to her, the murderer who strangled her cousin in the bamboo forest that night was most likely Lu Zhaoan. come.

Furthermore, according to her observation that day, when Lu Zhaoan was in danger, he disregarded his companion's life and death in order to escape.

She took something out of her sleeve, turned around and handed it to Du Shaotang: "Look."

Du Shaotang unfolded the thing: "This is it?"

"This is Lu Zhaoan's whereabouts these days." Teng Yuyi clicked on a few place names on the cloth, "In addition to our people and people from Lin Chengyou who followed Lu Zhaoan, he should have found something, otherwise he would have been arrested. Withdrew, we might as well wait patiently, if Lin Chengyou has nothing to say, it will not be too late for us to plan carefully."

Du Shaotang was both surprised and delighted: "I just thought that Lin Chengyou didn't care about this matter, but never thought of going to confirm it with my own eyes... If he is willing to make a move, Lu Zhaoan will definitely not be able to afford to go around. Cousin Yu, you are still thoughtful , I... I was too reckless."

Teng Yuyi thought to himself, no matter how cowardly Shaotang is, he is still **** when it comes to his sister. If he is bloody, he is only eleven years old.

"You have to remember, to deal with this kind of treacherous villain, if you don't make a move, you must hit the opponent's vitals, otherwise you will not only fail to hurt the opponent, but will only bring endless troubles to yourself. After Teng Yuyi finished speaking, seeing Du Shaotang in a daze, he coughed and said, "You just need to know these lies, and you don't need to tell uncle and aunt."

Du Shaotang couldn't help laughing, if these are considered nonsense, then wouldn't everything that Cousin Yu usually said be nonsense? In fact, he liked to get along with Cousin Yu since he was a child, but it was a pity that Cousin Yu thought he loved to cry and didn't like to play with him.

"Cousin Yu, don't worry, I'll keep that in mind." Du Shaotang said with a smile, he already looked like his sister, and with a smile, his beautiful eyebrows stretched out, much more pleasing to the eye than the bitter look just now.

"If you have nothing to do these two days, you can spend more time with Lin Chengyou. Besides observing his attitude towards Lu Zhaoan, I have one more thing for you to do." Teng Yuyi took out the Xiaoya sword, "Look, this sword Is it dimmed a lot?"

Taking advantage of the opportunity to talk about Lin Chengyou's bathing soup, Du Shaotang opened his mouth wider and wider: "I... this..."

Teng Yuyi was even more embarrassed than Du Shaotang, but Xiaoya didn't have much time left, so he bluffed and stared at Xingyuan: "Why, don't you have the heart to watch your cousin's divine sword become a waste product?"

Du Shaotang's brows and eyes were tangled again: "Of course not... But Lin Chengyou doesn't live in Yequanxuan, but lives in Feiyi Pavilion with other royal children. I'm afraid it's not easy for me to go in... hey... okay... Let me give it a try."

Teng Yuyi coughed a few times: "Remember what my cousin taught you, the harder it is to do, the more patience you have to do, one time may not succeed, just wait for the opportunity."

Du Shaotang puffed up his chest: "It must be done for my cousin."

***

The dinner was delivered to each room by the servants, and just after the meal, the steward came to invite them, saying that Princess Changyi and Princess Azhi had arrived, and they had already set up a bonfire outside the waterfall to invite the juniors Go play.

Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan resigned from Mrs. Du and went to Puquan by themselves. When they came out, they met Zheng Shuangyin and others in the corridor on the second floor, and they walked together together.

While walking, Teng Yuyi kept an eye on Du Shaotang's figure, and when she came to the shade of flowers near the waterfall, a lady-like figure came over and asked, "Excuse me, who is Mrs. Teng? Princess Azhi has something to look for."

The girls looked at each other in surprise.

Teng Yuyi looked at the maid carefully and confirmed that she was a servant of Prince Cheng's mansion. Then she looked up and saw Du Shaotang standing under a willow tree. She winked at Shaotang calmly and said to Du Tinglan: "Maybe It’s about the homework of the poetry club, I’ll come as soon as I go.”

The court lady led Teng Yuyi around the flower garden, and the more she walked in, the more secluded she was. Teng Yuyi knew that Duanfu was following her not far away, but she still glanced at the Xuanyin bell on her wrist from time to time, Fortunately, with this thing by my side, I can know in advance whether there are evil spirits nearby.

When we arrived in front of an exquisite mountain depression, the maid said with a smile, "Miss Teng, we're here."

After saying that, without waiting for Teng Yuyi to ask more questions, he bowed and retreated.

Teng Yuyi stopped and looked around, but there was not even a single person around. She listened carefully, and there was a small sound of water in front of her. She continued to walk in, and a fine cold mist of cold water rushed towards her.

It turns out that there is a clear pool not far ahead, with a waterfall several feet wide flowing down from above, and the shore is full of flowers. smell.

Lin Chengyou sat idly on a rock by the spring, as if he had been waiting for a while, when he heard footsteps behind him, he threw the branch in his hand into the pool, turned his head and looked at Teng Yuyi, with the jade pendant on his waist Following his movements, there was a slight clanging sound.

Teng Yuyi looked at the lotus seed white on his body, and was secretly glad that she had changed her dress in advance, otherwise the two of them would feel weird when they met at this moment.

"Senior." She saluted with a smile.

Lin Chengyou is used to seeing Teng Yuyi wearing men's clothes, but when he suddenly saw her wearing a graceful smoked purple high-breasted skirt, he felt a little dazzling. I forgot that there is still a string of Xuanyin bells on you, you just ask someone to give this to me, why ask me to meet?"

He has to bother to arrange for this, which is really troublesome.

Teng Yuyi said apologetically, "I don't want to do that either. You see, my son, I can't take this bell off."

While she was talking, she walked towards him, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the silvery pool of water behind Lin Chengyou.

Lin Chengyou felt strange in his heart, her face was pale, she looked quite frightened, did she see something? Following her gaze and looking behind her, she saw nothing but pools of flowers and bushes, which was strange, she wasn't too timid, so why was she so surprised.

Teng Yuyi quickly recovered, but she still didn't dare to move forward, she just raised her snow-white wrist: "To tell you the truth, since I came back from Caifeng Tower that night, the bell can't be taken off. After trying many methods, the bell is getting tighter and tighter."

Lin Chengyou secretly paid attention to her expression, and saw that she kept her eyes away from the pool when she was speaking, and suddenly a thought came to her mind: she must not be afraid of water.

He looked at her wrist suspiciously, got up and walked towards her: "I really can't take it off? Let me see."

Teng Yuyi gently rolled down in front of Lin Chengyou, but the round bell seemed to grow in the flesh, and she couldn't roll it down.

Lin Chengyou frowned: "Hey, if you pull it again, it will break."

Teng Yuyi said helplessly: "I was afraid of breaking the bell, so I had to ask someone to pass the message to the son."

Lin Chengyou glanced at her wrist. He had never heard of this thing, but why couldn't he take it off suddenly for no reason? He thought for a while, took out a bottle from his arms and handed it to her: " Put this on your wrist and try again."

Teng Yu's opinion is a bottle of potion, which is expected to have a smooth effect on the skin: "I tried it with bath beans when I was in the mansion, but I still couldn't get it off."

Lin Chengyou raised his eyebrows: "This is not a bath bean, it's called reed bait. If you rub it on a magic weapon, it can make the magic weapon's spiritual power disappear for a while. Although I don't understand what Xuanyinling is doing, Jufan The rare treasures of Taoism have some strange habits. It has been locked in Qingyun Temple for these years. Who knows if it has raised a weapon spirit. You can wipe it on first, by the way, did you wear a veil?"

"Bring it." Teng Yuyi took out the handkerchief.

At this time, she had already put the potion on the bell, and was about to try to take it off, but Lin Chengyou said to wait, and handed her the veil that had been folded in several layers: "Wrap the veil first. "

Teng Yu didn't know what to say, so he did as he said.

"I'm offended." Lin Chengyou raised his hand to hold her wrist, Teng Yuyi was startled, and hurriedly pulled his hand back.

"Don't move." Lin Chengyou was a little uncomfortable, "It's useless to just smear reed bait, you have to chant a spell."

That's it. Teng Yuyi coughed embarrassingly: "Understood! My son, please start."

Lin Chengyou was very frank, but when she said this, it seemed like he was really going to do something to her.

He glanced at her: "What will I do to you if you look at me?"

Teng Yuyi wondered: "Of course not, I just..."

"It's fine if you don't have one, stop thinking about it."

Teng Yuyi choked, who was thinking wildly?

Lin Chengyou regained his composure in an instant, and helped her take off the veil through the layer of veil. Fortunately, the veil was so thick that his fingers could not feel the temperature of the opponent's skin.

But although the bell was not slippery, it was still firmly on Teng Yuyi's wrist.

Lin Chengyou recited the mantra upside down several times, but it didn't work.

"Strange." The two said in unison.

Lin Chengyou let go of Teng Yuyi's wrist: "Forget it, maybe there is some reason, I'll check it when I go back, I'll put this thing on you first."

Teng Yuyi was stunned for a moment, and only hoped that no evil spirits came to her in the past few days, otherwise Lin Chengyou would know immediately when the bell rang on her side.

"By the way, this potion will damage Xuanyinling's spiritual power if you apply it for a long time. Go to the pool and wash off the potion on the bell."

Teng Yuyi was not in a hurry to return the bottle of reed bait to Lin Chengyou, but first lifted the veil on her wrist. Seeing that the potion had seeped into her skin, she ignored the water pool over there and said, "Okay." , I'll wash it when I get back."

But Lin Chengyou said: "It's too late. The longer it is delayed, the more it will damage the spiritual power. Besides, this medicine is useless after washing it. You have to recite a mantra. Otherwise, if a thief steals this medicine to harm others, wouldn't it be a magic weapon in the world?" It’s all invalid, so even if it’s washed, you have to undo the curse.”

Teng Yuyi frowned, she didn't even dare to get close to the water pool, how could she go to the water pool to wind the handkerchief. But Lin Chengyou had only saved her life not long ago, and this string of bells was put on for her to guard against corpse evil. If her spiritual power was damaged because of her, it would be too unreasonable.

Looking up at Lin Chengyou's expression, she saw that he didn't look like he was lying, and her doubts disappeared. She has always been clear about grievances and grievances. Although she was terrified to death, she still nodded and said: "Okay. Wait a moment, son, I will go wash right away."

As he spoke, he walked towards the pool, telling himself as he walked that it was just a small pool and there was nothing to be afraid of, but after only a few steps, his legs began to shake uncontrollably.

She thought in a cold sweat, if she forgot about drowning in her previous life, and only said that she was afraid of water when she fell into the water on the way to Chang'an, Lin Chengyou would probably not be suspicious, but this is not the way to go, why not take this opportunity This problem has been changed.

Lin Chengyou looked at Teng Yuyi's back with complicated eyes. He guessed right, she was really afraid of water. In fact, with her intelligence, if she really didn't want to wash the veil, she would not worry about finding an excuse... Suddenly thinking of her that night When He Juesheng was trapped by the corpse, she may have pity Juesheng when he was young, or maybe out of loyalty, she risked her life to save Juesheng. At that moment, she let go of all her plans and acted purely from her heart .

Besides, since the night when she passed the Caifeng Tower, she seemed to be a lot more friendly to him. At this moment, she thought that she regarded him as a savior, so she would rather embarrass herself than play tricks in front of him.

Tsk, he thinks Teng Yuyi like this is kind of cute.

Teng Yuyi finally moved two more steps, but her complexion became worse and worse. At this moment, Lin Chengyou suddenly came from behind and took the handkerchief away from her hand.

Teng Yuyi was greatly surprised.

Lin Chengyou squatted by the pool and wrung it, got up and handed her the wet handkerchief: "Are you afraid of water?"

Teng Yuyi came back to her senses, took the wet handkerchief and carefully wiped the potion on the bell, and said gratefully: "I fell into the water in Chang'an a while ago, and now I feel terrified when I see the water."

She thought to herself, Lin Chengyou saw that she was afraid of water but did not intend to make things difficult for her. It can be seen that although this person has an arrogant temperament, he is also very reasonable. I didn't believe that most of the instruments of wisdom and sayings hide their spirits, but judging from today's situation, it seems that even Xuanyinling has a temper. I heard that some instruments need to be enshrined with human bath soup. I wonder if this is true? "

"Bath soup?" Lin Chengyou sneered, "Dharma utensils like clean things, how can they use bath soup to worship? Not to mention the magic utensils of Qingyun Temple, even the "Wuji Treasure Mirror" which specifically records Taoist treasures I haven't heard of it in the Internet. Maybe someone has a wrong idea and deliberately used this to bluff you."

Teng Yuyi shut her mouth tightly, there is indeed someone who is making up her mind, and this person is her. Originally, he wanted to discuss it with him, but seeing Lin Chengyou's sneering attitude, it is estimated that even if she broke her throat, he would never give her the bath soup.

The two are already confused because of a string of Xuanyin bells. What if Lin Chengyou mistakenly thinks that she covets him...

Besides, even if he finally believed what she said, the bath soup is such a private thing, and anyone would feel ashamed, embarrassed, and annoyed if he gave the bath soup to a woman he didn't know well...

If Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi found out by accident, would she still want to behave in front of them? Therefore, instead of asking Lin Chengyou for it openly, you have to do it without anyone noticing it.

Lin Chengyou went to the pool and twisted the handkerchief again and came back, looking at her suspiciously: "What are you thinking about?"

Teng Yuyi smiled and said: "It's been a while since I came out, I'm worried that my cousin will find me."

Lin Chengyou and Teng Yuyi wiped off all the potion, put up **** and slid across the bell, and recited the mantra in a low voice.

The bell brightened up in a blink of an eye, reflecting Teng Yuyi's slender wrist more and more translucent.

Lin Chengyou thought of the Yingling Stone in his arms, no matter how unlucky Teng Yuyi was, there was no reason why he would run into Xie Chong one after another, so he put this thing on his body temporarily, so he didn't have to worry about making noise at night.

"Okay. You go along the way you came, someone will lead you out."

"Yeah." Teng Yuyi nodded at Lin Chengyou, walked two steps and seemed to remember the reed bait in his hand, and turned around quickly, "I forgot to return this to the prince."

Unexpectedly, she stumbled and fell straight towards Lin Chengyou. She was shocked and tried to protect the bottle of reed bait in her hand, but because of too much force, she threw a fist-sized thing from her sleeve, which happened to hit Lin Chengyou on the legs.

It was a bag of rouge-colored juice, even though Lin Chengyou dodged in time, it still splashed all over his body.

Both of them were stunned. Lin Chengyou looked down at his embarrassing clothes, was silent for a long time, shook the juice on his sleeves, and said lightly: "Ms. Teng hasn't practiced much kung fu these days. So bad."

For the first time, Teng Yuyi felt guilty for plotting against Lin Chengyou, but who told Xiaoya to wait for the bath, she handed the undamaged reed bait to Lin Chengyou, and kicked the sharp stone under her feet in frustration: I stumbled over this stone... My son, I'm really sorry, I really didn't mean to—"

"That's all." Lin Chengyou said angrily. In fact, he could have avoided it, but he hesitated because he saw the sharp rocks under his feet. These sharp stones are enough for her.

He stuffed the reed bait into his arms without saying a word, and unexpectedly smelled the aroma of sweet wine in the air.

He sniffed it, and his complexion became even more ugly: "Don't tell me this is apple wine..."

Teng Yuyi nodded embarrassingly: "I am afraid that the clothes of the prince..."

This wine is sweet and sticky, just changing clothes is not enough, if you don't wash the residual wine soaked into your skin as soon as possible, no matter how many new clothes you change, they will be sticky.

Lin Chengyou smiled: "Teng Yuyi, I really have you. It's fine to carry poison-drug concealed weapons with you, but you even carry rose peach wine with you."

He glared at her, then walked in the other direction.

Teng Yuyi watched him leave guiltily. Fortunately, Lin Chengyou didn't become suspicious this time, but she didn't dare to guarantee it again.

After a while, the court lady reappeared and led Teng Yuyi along the way she came.

When we arrived at the flower garden, the lords and ladies from all the prefectures had already filled the seats.

Lin Chengyou's arrangement was perfect, as soon as Teng Yuyi walked over, Princess Azhi came from the other side, and the two appeared almost at the same time, as if they had made an appointment to be together.

Du Tinglan was afraid that Lin Chengyou would use the name of Princess Azhi to embarrass Teng Yuyi, so she had been waiting at the same place, but Shaotang came to tell her that Cousin Yu had other arrangements and asked Du Tinglan to go back to the table and wait. Du Tinglan entered the banquet anxiously, but her heart was never at ease. Seeing Teng Yuyi appear at this moment, her hanging heart fell to the ground.

The table was already very busy, but there were a few seats empty, as if they were waiting for someone. After inquiring, I found out that there are several female relatives of Jiedu envoys from other places who have just arrived in Chang'an, and are still rushing to Yusuchuan. On the way, the banquet will not be officially held until these people arrive.

Teng Yuyi was chatting with her cousin while looking at the way she came.

It didn't take long for Shaotang to come. Instead of going to the men's table, he went straight to Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan and sat down. Everyone didn't care. Firstly, Du Shaotang was still young, and secondly, everyone knew that he was their younger brother. .

Du Shaotang's hands trembled slightly, and he quietly handed a bamboo tube-like object to Teng Yuyi, and said happily and nervously: "Cousin Yu's arrangement is perfect, Duanfu's skill is even better, and the things were fetched smoothly." /

Teng Yuyi was overjoyed: "Okay."

She secretly touched the hilt of the sword in her sleeve to reassure Xiaoya. After a while, she felt something protruding from the sleeve. Start writing on her arm.

"Not good! It's mixed with other people's bath soup, it's dirty, I can't take it!"

Teng Yuyi was taken aback, Feiyi Pavilion only lived in the royal family, and what kind of status was Lin Chengyou, if he wanted to take a bath, it must be a freshly made bath soup.

But Xiaoya wouldn't play his temper at this juncture, she asked Du Shaotang in a low voice: "Shaotang, are you sure this is Lin Chengyou's bath soup?"

Du Shaotang put down the wine cup in surprise: "That's right, I told Duanfu as soon as I saw Lin Chengyou enter the hot spring pool."

Teng Yuyi was surprised, Feiyi Pavilion actually had a hot spring pool? ! The water in the hot spring pools circulates with each other, there is no such thing as one pool per person, if other princes and ministers have bathed before Lin Chengyou, it is naturally not pure fetal breath water for Xiao Ya.

Du Shaotang said anxiously: "Although the hot spring pool is big, but only Lin Chengyou went in at that time, isn't it possible?"

Judging from Xiaoya's reaction, I'm afraid it won't work. Teng Yu thought about it for a moment, and comforted Du Shaotang, saying: "You have done a good job. There are many heroes from all parties tonight. Go to the men's table quickly, remember. If you live in a man's heart, you must be able to hide things, and when you meet Lin Chengyou, don't be guilty."

Du Shaotang didn't expect that he would be of great help as soon as he made a move, and he was encouraged for a long time. He nodded happily, got up and strode to the men's table.

Du Tinglan grabbed Teng Yuyi's sleeve: "What the **** are you and Shaotang doing?"

Teng Yuyi told Du Tinglan the reason, and Xiaoya suddenly stroked a few strokes on Teng Yuyi's arm: "Here we come!"

Teng Yuyi looked up and saw that a group of noble sons just came, and Lin Chengyou walked at the end, surrounded by a large group of Gaoliang children.

Lin Chengyou changed into a new bamboo-green gown, and his sideburns were still a little wet. He glanced at Teng Yuyi's direction while talking and laughing, and quickly turned his head away. Teng Yuyi's eyelids twitched, and Lin Chengyou was extremely alert , should not be suspicious.

In order to force Teng Yuyi to think again, Xiao Ya kept pushing her arm. Teng Yuyi had no choice but to write on the hilt of the sword: I said, can I change someone?

Xiao Ya seemed to be offended by these words, instead of refusing to answer, he stomped heavily on Teng Yuyi's arm a few times, but after only two stomps, he fell down weakly.

Teng Yuyi became more and more disturbed, and Xiaoya's spiritual power was obviously disappearing rapidly.

She coaxed him patiently: If he's not good enough, I can find a way for other people's.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, I felt that Xiao Ya stroked and wrote a word: Chun.

The king of Chun'an County?

Xiao Ya seems to have compromised: his bath soup is not as good as those three people, but it can be used to make a difference.

Teng Yuyi bit the bullet and looked for it with her eyes, and saw the King of Chun'an at the Baocui Pavilion not far away.

Chun'an County King sat cross-legged on the mat in the pavilion, in front of him was a qin with a glossy finish. Eye-catching.

There are many literati and scholars in the pavilion, sitting or lying down, reciting poems or drinking tea, all of which are pleasant and romantic.

Several noble ladies stopped in the veranda outside the pavilion, seemingly strolling, but their eyes swept towards the Chun'an County King inside the pavilion from time to time.

Teng Yuyi's heart was pounding. After the banquet, the king of Chun'an County would have to take a bath and change clothes. At worst, he would use the same method to steal the bath soup once.

No, Shaotang and Duanfu can no longer take risks.

Moreover, if the king of Chun'an County also goes to bathe in the hot spring pool like Lin Chengyou, wouldn't they steal it again for nothing?

After much deliberation, the best way at the moment is to ask Grandpa to excuse himself and ask Chun'an County King for bath soup. The King of Chun'an County is modest and kind, and he is expected to be much more talkative than Lin Chengyou, not to mention that Grandpa has a good relationship with the King of Chun'an County.

Thinking together, Teng Yuyi hurriedly ordered Biluo to pass a message to Grandpa. Grandpa told her in the morning that he would rush back to Chang'an overnight, and hoped that he would be able to make it in time.

Biluo came back but said that the master had already left.

"Huo Qiu said that the master left most of the guards before he left, and asked them to take care of the wife for a few days... The master left after dinner, and the head of the country took a few uncles to the villa in person."

Teng Yuyi frowned, Xiaoya, the little old man, didn't say earlier that Chun'an Junwang's bath soup could also be used. What should I do now, should I invite my uncle to come forward? But compared to grandpa, it is obviously much more troublesome for uncle to go out. Looking down at his sleeve, Xiao Ya has been lying motionless for a long time, I'm afraid he won't make it through tonight.

She thought about it anxiously, and got up with Biluo and Chunrong.

Du Tinglan asked in surprise: "What are you going to do?"

Teng Yuyi said in a low voice: "It's because of this sword, Xiao Ya is about to die, I have to ask my aunt for help as soon as possible."

Du Tinglan also got up: "I'll accompany you."

Teng Yuyi shook her head: "The two sisters left the table together too much, and my sister stayed to help me cover it up. Anyway, Duanfu will not be too far away from me. I will go back as soon as I go."

Over there, Lin Chengyou thought about what happened just now, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Although he was joking with the people around him, his eyes glanced at Teng Yuyi and Du Shaotang on the opposite side from time to time.

Suddenly he noticed that Teng Yu was staring inquiringly at the front. He looked over calmly and found that she was secretly looking at the emperor's uncle.
