==Chapter 72 The Prince Consort==

Chunnan Hou Mansion.

The candle on the desk is about to go out, and the faint morning light pours into the study.

Su Huaian nodded and studied the cinnabar.

Lu Ze frowned and looked at him, then yawned: "Su Jingming, it's all passed by overnight. You said you will enter the Ministry of Punishment within three days. Could it be that you are sending paintings to Xue Xiangyang? ?"

Su Huaian looked at him and pursed his lips and smiled: "Why, the Marquis is reluctant to part with your paints?"

Lu Ze rubbed his shoulder blades, leaned back, and looked at the precious stones he had collected so **** the table, such as cinnabar, silver vermilion, yellow elixir, empty blue, white green, sand green, copper green, black stone resin, etc. Pigments, it would be too hypocritical to say that I don't feel distressed. What's even more heartbreaking is that it was given to the common man Xue Xiangyang.

He clapped his hands on his knees and said, "Okay, I won't read anymore. You draw slowly. I'm going to the guardhouse first."

Su Huai'an didn't even raise his head, "Master Hou, please be patient."

When Lu Ze returned home, it was already dark.

Seeing Su Huai'an still standing there painting like a cypress, he couldn't help but said: "Let me see, what have you painted?"

After this moment, Lu Ze became stupid.

The scroll is more than half a foot long.

On the left is the Zhengyang Gate, with Yunli Long Street in the capital as the central axis, and a street scene is drawn.

This painting can be divided into three sections. The first section shows a man playing music on a pipa in front of the Chunxi Tower, with silly smiles on the faces of the people around him. The second section shows a monk chanting in front of the Yongchang Temple, holding hands. ‌The mother of the child is making a salute with one hand at the side; in the third section, the man in white is standing under the high wall with his hands behind his back, looking up at the lantern on the corner, like an infatuated man.

Su Huaian put down his pen and looked at Lu Ze: "‌‌?"

Lu Ze‌: "Time is really tight. This composition is not very delicate. The whole line is strong and powerful, and the colors are appropriate. It can be considered as a depiction of all aspects of life, especially this last one... .Wait."

"Yunli Long Street...the location of this high gate is the eldest princess's mansion!" Lu Ze looked carefully again and suddenly raised his eyes: "The man in the painting is you Yourself?"

"Okay, as long as you can see it." Su Huaian ‌.

Lu Ze‌: "Are you leading Xue Xiangyang to the princess's house?"

Su Huaian: "Although Xue Xiangyang was a ruthless official, he was very kind to his family. His second brother must have started selling arms back then. That account book was a thorn in the side for Xue Xiangyang. With a knife on his head, if he wants to protect his brother, he will definitely spare no effort to investigate me, and no information will be let go."

Lu Ze patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about him. I'm asking you, what are you going to bring to the princess's house? Are you unable to sit still? Is it possible to pass the note?" ”

Su Huaian kept silent and left through the small door of Chunnan Marquis Mansion without looking back.

Lu Ze sneered: "Cross the river and burn the bridge."

The first day passed, and on the evening of the second day, Su Huaian took the painting to the Ministry of Punishments.

Xue Xiangyang looked at the words in his hand, squinted his eyes, and said, "Master Huai came to me with this painting, what is his intention?"

Su Huai'an pursed his lips and said: "This picture was made by Master Chengyun three days ago. If the subordinate found the clue, he naturally had to hand it over to the Ministry of Punishment."

Xue Xiangyang couldn't help but smile as he thought about the news about the potential prince-in-law from the Ministry of Rites this morning.

The imperial edict has not yet been issued, and the wedding date has not yet been decided, yet you want to deal with the princess’s old lover?

Xue Xiangyang looked at the painting and said, "Where did this painting come from?"

Su Huaian: "Bought from Qingfeng Building."

Xue Xiangyang took the case and said, "Master Huai, would you like to come with me?"

Su Huaian: "Master Xue, it is better to be cautious. If this is empty, the eldest princess will have to blame..."

Xue Xiangyang pulled him over and said, "You are so verbose!"

When he handles the case, can he look at the princess’ face?

****************

An hour later, Xue Xiangyang led the officials to surround the princess mansion.

The knocking on the door is getting louder and louder.

The door of Princess Changning's residence was opened.

A group of people broke into the mansion in a hurry.

The Princess Mansion is still the same as before. After night falls, lights will be hung on the hall, walls, and pillars, illuminating the surrounding stone bones clearly.

The sound of broken cups came from the main courtyard.

After a while, the princess put on a moon-white blouse and a long dark gauze skirt, Shi Shiran went out from the inner room, looked at Xue Xiangyang, and chuckled, "Long time no see, Mr. Xue." ”

After saying that, she turned to look at Su Huaian, raised her eyebrows in surprise, and said with affection: "Is this... Mr. Huai?"

"I have met Your Highness."

Su Huaian looked at her without changing his expression, and his left hand trembled slightly.

"Excuse me." Xiao Lianyu's gaze shifted back to Xue Xiangyang and said, "I wonder if Mr.

Xue Xiangyang didn't talk nonsense to her, and directly asked the officer to unfold the scroll as if it were her body.

"This painting is called Chunxi Night and was painted three days ago." Xue Xiangyang pointed to the man's figure in the painting and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this mansion is the eldest princess's mansion. ”

The scene in the painting and the person in the painting are all familiar to Xiao Lianyu.

"Search the mansion just based on a painting?" Xiao Lianyu showed no trace of panic in her eyes, and raised her voice, "Where does Mr. Xue think the Princess Mansion is! Is it a tea house and restaurant in the capital! You mean to search? Check!"

Xue Xiangyang took out a search warrant from his sleeve, held it up to the princess, and said: "The situation is urgent, this is the search warrant."

The Minister of Punishment naturally has the right to issue an emergency search warrant.

Xiao Lianyu looked at the three big characters Xue Xiangyang on the search warrant and raised her lips: "If the person is not found, will Mr. Xue be responsible?"

"Of course, the lower official is responsible."

Xiao Lianyu took a step back and said calmly: "Okay, let's check."

"Check the hall, hall, and study room in order!"

Xue Xiangyang waved his hand, and the forty officers dispersed in the princess mansion instantly.

There were chaotic footsteps and the sound of rummaging everywhere. Princess Changning was sitting on a stone bench in the pavilion in the courtyard. She calmly asked her maid to pour tea, "Master Xue, why don't you sit down and have a drink?"

Xue Xiangyang said coldly: "I have official duties today, so I can only give in to the eldest princess's kindness."

The eldest princess Changning held up the teapot and tilted it slightly. The water gushed out. It was full. She held the cup and handed it to Su Huaian, "Master Huai is not an official of the Ministry of Justice. He is not here on official business. He can always drink. Let’s have a cup.”

Su Huaian looked at the tea cup in front of him, took it, drank it all in one gulp, "Thank you, Your Highness."

The eldest princess Changning snorted very softly.

All the goods.

After a while, the guards came to report one after another, all saying: "Sir, there is no one."

Xue Xiangyang squinted at the inner room behind Xiao Lianyu. When he opened his mouth, Xiao Lianyu took a sip of tea and put down the cup in his hand. Zheng: "In this inner room, I advise Mr. Xue Just don't come in."

Xue Xiangyang bowed down and wrote: "Even if it is a search, it must be carried out according to the regulations. Your Highness, I am offended."

Xue Xiangyang strode toward the inner room, raised his hand, and pushed the door open with a bang.

Immediately afterwards, he drew his sword directly and pointed the sword pointed at a man on the princess's couch: "Who is it!"

The man gathered his unlined clothes, stood up carefully, and nodded respectfully: "I am the bodyguard of the princess's palace... I have met Mr. Xue."

Xue Xiangyang looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, and sternly said: "Lift your head up to me!"

It was an unexpected surprise that a man was hidden in the eldest princess's mansion.

At this moment, Su Huaian raised his eyes and met the eyes of the disheveled man in front of him.

The man has a majestic figure and cold facial features. He deserves to be crowned jade. He also has two nails on his neck.

Every fool knows that this nail mark comes from ‌.

Su Huai'an was indeed startled for a moment, and then tightened his grip on the note in his hand.

At this time, Xiao Lianyu turned around and asked: "Has Mr. Xue finished checking?"

Xue Xiangyang murmured: "This, this..."

Xiao Lianyu: "My private affairs are not in the hands of the Ministry of Punishment."

Before Xue Xiangyang could reply, Su Huai'an walked up to her, his Adam's apple moved, and whispered: "Your Highness, let's get over it."

Xiao Lianyu propped her forehead on her hand, bent her eyes, looked at Su Huaian and smiled, "Why, you want to take care of me before you become the consort?"

At this time, the breeze came slowly, and the pearl hairpin on the princess' head swayed gently.

Su Huai looked at her quietly, as if questioning her with his eyes.

Xiao Lianyu said again: "Don't worry, Mr. Huai, Chang Ning knows what's appropriate. When we get married, the yard will naturally be clean."

These words and this attitude are so out of proportion.

Xue Xiangyang touched his nose.

He never thought that something like this could happen today.

He looked at the would-be prince consort with some affection. As a man, no one can bear to have green-headed mushrooms growing on his head. Ordinary wives can divorce their wives, but the person in front of them is the princess of the Tian family, and she is also a princess who has a deep relationship with His Majesty. It would be no good for anyone if the situation escalated.

"I have offended Your Highness today. I will apologize to Your Majesty when I turn around."

Su Huaian followed Xue Xiangyang with a stiff back.

When they were about to go out, Xiao Lianyu suddenly turned around and said, "Master Xue, stay!"

Xue Xiangyang turned around.

"There are some things I didn't want to say. It's not the first time Mr. Painting, ‌: "Master Xue always feels that I will help him because of ‌."

Xue Xiangyang frowned: "Your Highness, don't forget how he went to the Ministry of Punishment to make trouble four years ago."

"Your Excellency, you also know that it has been four years." Xiao Lianyu smiled and said softly: "Sir Xue, it has been four years. I am the princess of the Tianjia family. Why should I care about a treacherous minister and traitor who is collaborating with the enemy and treason? Year!"

Xue Xiangyang‌ She was startled when she asked.

Princess Changning fell in love with the Prince of the Zhenguo Palace at first sight and blocked the Dali Temple. Everyone in the capital knew that four years ago, the evidence of the Zhenguo Duke’s treason was conclusive, but she ignored the rules of etiquette and went to make a fuss regardless of propriety, justice and integrity. Ministry of Punishment.

Everything is absurd.

Xue Xiangyang’s eyes seemed to say, haven’t you just been thinking about that rebellious minister and traitor for four years?

Xiao Lianyu walked toward him step by step, raised her chin, and said seriously: "When I first met Su Huai'an, I was only fifteen. Mr. Xue didn't have to catch him for making such a joke. ‌Don’t let it go.”

Xue Xiangyang looked at her and seemed to be considering the authenticity of her words.

"I admit that when I went to Lishan four years ago, I did have some thoughts about waiting for him." Xiao Lianyu took a deep breath, "But just because of waiting these few years, I haven't been able to stay with my mother properly I am filial to my concubine, but as for him, he has been living an ignoble existence for four years and has never had a relationship with me. Thinking about it now, I really feel that it is extremely ridiculous."

Every time Xiao Lianyu said a word, Su Huaian's eyes darkened a little, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he didn't even dare to raise his head and look directly at her.

Thinking of the death of Concubine Sun, Xue Xiangyang's expression changed, "If Your Highness really thinks this way, then I will apologize to Your Highness."

"There is no need to apologize." Xiao Lianyu: "After all, four years ago, Changning also caused a lot of trouble to the Ministry of Punishments, but Mr. Please inform your Majesty."

Xue Xiangyang cleared his throat and said: "I'm sorry to leave."

"Master Xue and Master Huai are too slow."

The door of the princess mansion closed, Xue Xiangyang paused, looked back at Su Huaian, and said sincerely: "Don't worry, Mr. Huai, Xue will not say a word to outsiders about today's matter."

Su Huaian looked at him levelly: "Master Xue misunderstood, I don't care."

Xue Xiangyang looked at the man in front of him who had the word ambition carved into his pupils, and smiled suddenly, "It seems that I was wrong."

This scholar, who is the number one scholar in the field of science and technology, has no love and romance in his eyes. He simply regards Princess Changning's Mansion as the first place to rise to prominence.

Xue Xiangyang couldn't help but admire him a little more, "I wonder if Mr. Huai plans to join the Ministry of Punishment?"

Su Huai'an paused for a moment, made a compilation with both hands, and wrote in a clear and round tone: "I'm a lowly official, but I can't get what I asked for."

Xue Xiangyang patted his shoulder.

Early on the morning of the third day, Su Huai'an received an order from the Ministry of Officials, and Huaijing, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, was transferred to the Minister of Justice on the same day.

At this time, Qin Tianjian calculated the horoscope for him and Xiao Lianyu - a superior marriage.

Su Huaian repeatedly rubbed the wedding date on the edict with his fingertips.

It was the seventh day of March in the sixth year of Yanxi.
