Chapter 78 Unexpected Visitors
Outside Washington, Hua Heng had already boarded a carriage and set off.
On the other side, Wang Sheng had just gotten off the carriage and knocked on the door of Princess Guangping's courtyard.
Bang bang bang~
Several times before, Wang Sheng wanted to go to the courtyard, but couldn't.
Princess Guangping stayed in the palace all day long, but did not stay in the courtyard during normal hours.
But this time, Wang Sheng did not take the wrong path.
Princess Guangping is in this courtyard at this time.
With a creak, the door opened.
The target is the jasper palace maid.
"Your Majesty, please."
The Jasper Palace Maid lowered her head and gave way to Wang Sheng.
Wang Sheng nodded slightly and walked slowly into the courtyard. However, Wang Sheng did not see Princess Guangping in the courtyard.
"Where did the princess go?"
Wang Sheng was suspicious and asked directly.
"The princess is in the house."
In the house?
Would you like to greet me when you see me?
Are you angry again?
Wang Sheng glanced at Biyu, whose eyes were wandering. It was obvious that it was impossible to ask the lady Biyu what happened.
Walk outside the room door.
Wang Sheng knocked on the door twice and didn't want to push the door open.
The door is not locked.
Inside the room, Wang Sheng saw Princess Guangping sleeping on the bed.
In spring, the weather is not hot, but it cannot be said to be cold either.
It's just the right time.
But this person is wrapped in a thick quilt. Could it be that he is sick?
"Xiang'er?"
Wang Sheng called out and walked forward, only to find that there was no Princess Guangping on the bed.
It was just piled up to look like someone was sleeping in it.
Just when Wang Sheng was wondering, he turned around and immediately saw that beautiful figure.
"Xiang'er, you're playing hide and seek with me."
Standing behind the door, Princess Guangping pouted her lips, twisted a little, and then stood up.
"Are you angry? Who provoked you? I will vent your anger on your behalf!"
Princess Guangping grunted and jumped directly on Wang Sheng, hitting Wang Sheng with her pink fist without any mercy.
Of course, in Wang Sheng's opinion, the power of Princess Guangping's fist is almost the same as that of tickling.
In fact, Princess Guangping was not willing to fight.
"Who else could make this princess angry? It's all you, it's you! Huh! I heard that you went to find the queen yourself for the green bead?"
kindness?
Wang Sheng was stunned for a moment and asked: "Did Her Majesty the Queen tell you?"
"This princess found out about it herself."
"No wonder he's become jealous now."
Wang Sheng smiled slightly and directly held Princess Guangping's chin with his hand, not caring about her resistance.
"Her Royal Highness the Queen told you."
Princess Guangping couldn't find out about this matter. There were only three people in the palace at that time.
The Queen, Lady Orchid, and him.
If Palace Maid Youlan can stay by the Queen's side, I'm afraid she won't be a gossip.
Then, there is only one possibility, the queen intends to tell Princess Guangping this news.
As for why the queen is like this...
This made Wang Sheng a little confused.
"Her Royal Highness the Queen told me, so what? I went to Jingu Garden to meet Luzhu before. She is indeed stunningly beautiful, but you can't just be fascinated by her."
It seems that the queen said a lot to Princess Guangping, otherwise Princess Guangping, who is usually so calm, would actually become jealous.
"Luzhu is indeed good-looking, but how can she compare with Xiang'er? I went to see the queen. The main thing I wanted to do was to report the porridge donation in the winter. As for Lvzhu, it was just incidental."
Women are always like this, they like to hear good things.
As soon as Wang Sheng said his kind words, Princess Guangping's anger disappeared a lot.
Of course, the energy has dissipated somewhat, but the energy has not completely dissipated.
"What is the identity of the queen? Luzhu is just a beautiful concubine. By doing this, the prince is not asking for trouble?"
Wang Sheng patted Princess Guangping's back gently and said softly: "I'm afraid you don't know the life experience of this green pearl. It turns out that she is just a Yue girl. When Shi Chong was interviewing the envoy of Jiaozhi, he gave her ten hu of pearls.
After obtaining the green pearl, Shi Chong conspired to rebel. The green pearl was once sent to the palace by the eunuchs to flatter the king, but it happened to be seen by Her Royal Highness the Queen, so Her Royal Highness the Queen sent the green pearl back to Jingu Garden, but..."
Seeing that Princess Guangping had been attracted by the story of Luzhu, Wang Shengxin was relieved.
"But when Her Majesty the Queen saw that you, the Prince, and I were a popular person around Her Majesty, she snatched Lvzhu's infant baby away and used it to threaten Lvzhu as her eyes and ears to spy on me. I also saw that Lvzhu was really pitiful, so I went along.
Of course, the other purpose of talking to the queen is to completely remove this spy from Jinguyuan."
After listening to Wang Sheng's words, Princess Guangping's anger finally disappeared.
"When Wang Lang said it, this green pearl is quite pitiful."
"Of course it's pitiful. What else can a weak woman do besides being dependent on her male master? If she doesn't try her best to please me, what else can she do?"
Seeing Princess Guangping looking like she was thinking, Wang Sheng said again: "You will also be a housewife in the future. If you are so jealous, won't the affairs in the backyard be turned upside down? You need to change this problem.
"
Originally, Wang Sheng wanted to comfort Princess Guangping, but after a few words, he actually made Princess Guangping feel guilty.
"Wang Lang, this matter, this matter is Xiang'er's fault."
Princess Guangping leaned on Wang Sheng and said coquettishly: "Don't worry, Prince, Xiang'er also listened to Her Highness the Queen's words and thought that you were really fascinated by the green bead. You are the only one in Xiang'er.
You can't ignore Xiang'er. As for what happened today, Xiang'er swears that he will never do it again in the future."
Wang Sheng nodded slightly, but that was enough.
"Well, I don't blame you. I didn't do a good job in this matter. Let's not talk about it. I can't stay here tonight. I have to go back to Jingu Garden and let me rest."
"Bisu, bring some food quickly."
"promise."
The jade palace maid outside the door has long been stunned by what she saw.
Before Marquis Guangyuan came, Her Royal Highness the Princess was very angry. Why, after Marquis Guangyuan came, she just said a few words, and the princess seemed to be a different person.
No wonder the princess likes Marquis Guangyuan.
This is not without reason.
The Jasper Palace Maid stood aside and marveled, and Wang Sheng finally sat down.
.....
On the other side, Hua Heng sped up and galloped towards Jingu Garden.
When they arrived at Jingu Garden, Hua Heng, who was sitting in the carriage, almost vomited.
The official road outside the city is indeed smooth, but it is not particularly smooth. Some unevenness is inevitable.
If you travel slowly, these small bumps and bumps will be nothing, but if you go very fast, these small bumps and bumps will cause a bumpy feeling like riding a horse.
It embodies the joy of feeling motion sickness in ancient times.
"Send me your name card."
Resisting the desire to vomit in his stomach, Hua Heng gave instructions to the steward.
"promise."
The steward who drove the car quickly walked up with Hua Heng's name card.
The person who came out to greet him was a steward from the outer courtyard of Jingu Garden.
"Your Majesty, are you here to see your lord?"
"Of course, why, Marquis Guangyuan doesn't even want to see me?"
He is a dignified leader of the army, and no matter how good he is, he is still someone close to His Majesty. You, Marquis Guangyuan, are indeed valued by His Majesty, but it is only valued. It is not your turn to be arrogant yet.
Besides, I am now in your Majesty's favor.
"What is this noble man talking about? It's true that my master is still in the palace and I'm afraid he hasn't come back yet."
Not back?
Hua Heng was stunned for a moment.
"Impossible. Marquis Guangyuan left the palace before me. Why haven't you come back now?"
He still went back to the mansion!
The steward of Jinguyuan had a look of helplessness on his face.
"But it is true that my master has not come back. Otherwise, would you please enter the house first and wait?"
Looking at this person's carriage and horses, you can tell that he is in a high position. Who is the leader in the middle? The manager still knows.
Go in and wait?
Hua Heng thought for a moment and said, "No, I'll just wait outside and see how long Marquis Guangyuan can keep me busy."
In fact, Hua Heng was afraid that Wang Sheng would arrive at Jingu Garden and did not want to see him.
It's better to stop him outside the door.
"My lord, isn't this good?"
The steward of Jinguyuan had a look of embarrassment on his face.
"If I do this, then when the master comes back, won't he blame me for not treating his guests well?"
"It doesn't matter."
At this time, Hua Heng waved his hand gently.
"You treat guests very well, but I just have to wait outside."
"this..."
This is the first time he has seen such a noble person. He doesn't go in and hangs out outside?
"If Marquis Guangyuan is in the mansion, let him come out to see me. Otherwise, I will have to spend the night outside the mansion."
This posture has a rather rogue feel to it.
Hua Heng can be regarded as risking his life.
"Noble sir, my master is really not here."
The little steward of Jinguyuan was about to shed tears.
It’s true that no one is here!
If the master is not here, can I change you into a different person?
"Then I'll wait here."
This was the first time in his life that the steward had seen someone like Hua Heng. Until now, he could only sigh softly and said: "Come on, if you want to be outside, you can be outside. It's just that you want tea, food, or other things."
Please tell me your request."
He did not want to bear the charge of poor hospitality.
"Just go down."
"Alas~"
The steward of Jinguyuan sighed and had no choice but to go back home.
Just before returning home, let a young boy stand under Hua Heng's carriage, waiting for orders at any time.
This wait is from the warm spring light in the morning, to the scorching sun at noon, to the golden crow falling in the evening.
Gu Gu Gu~
Hua Heng only ate a little snack all day long. It was impossible to say that he was not hungry now.
What happened to Marquis Guangyuan?
Even if he was summoned by His Majesty, he should be back at this time.
Now Guangyuan Hou has nothing to do in the palace.
Could it be that Marquis Guangyuan is in the palace now?
Or maybe he was hiding from himself in this Golden Valley Garden and didn't want to see him?
It's possible!
Hua Heng's eyes flickered, and he was exhausted both physically and mentally. He already wanted to go back.
"Master, otherwise, we should go back. This Marquis of Guangyuan doesn't know what he is up to. Is it possible that he wants your master to wait here for a day and a night? Even if we go back now, I don't think Her Royal Highness the Princess will say anything.
Already."
The manager's words scratched the itch in Hua Heng's heart.
What he fears most is that Princess Rongyang will blame him. Now that he has an explanation from Princess Rongyang, he feels that he can go back.
The worst he could say was that Marquis Guangyuan didn't want to see him and wouldn't even let him in.
Although there are some differences from the facts, the differences are not much.
Indeed, he didn't even enter the gate of Jingu Garden.
Just when Hua Heng was struggling, Wang Sheng's chariot slowly arrived outside Jingu Garden.
"Your Majesty, there is a chariot outside the garden."
Isn't this normal?
Naturally, there are many people who want to see me.
Wang Sheng didn't pay attention.
"Looking at the specifications of the chariot, it's a Marquis chariot. Looking at the mark, it's a chariot belonging to the Chinese leader Washington."
China leader Huaheng...
Wang Sheng didn't pay much attention at first, but he immediately reacted.
Wait a moment.
Hua Heng?
Why did he come to see me?
Although Wang Sheng and Hua Heng are colleagues, they don't have much contact with each other, and their relationship is neither hot nor cold. Now Hua Heng actually comes to visit, which is very strange.
Especially at this critical moment.
Hua Heng has just now received the new land tax from the emperor.
Wang Sheng's eyes flickered. He thought for a moment and made a decision immediately.
"Look back, don't go back home."
Liu Yong reined in the horse with a look of confusion on his face.
"It's just my lord, where are you going back to?"
"Go back to Princess Guangping."
It's just that Wang Sheng's fleet of chariots was still too big after all, especially when it stopped, which was very strange.
Hua Heng turned his head and looked, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, which had a hint of darkness.
"Marquis Guangyuan, you just came back now?"
Hearing Hua Heng's voice, Wang Sheng knew that this matter could not be avoided.
Since I couldn't escape, I naturally came down to deal with it.
Wang Sheng jumped down from the carriage with a smile on his face.
"How come the Central Leader has time to come to my Golden Valley Garden?"
"Why, Marquis Guangyuan doesn't welcome you?"
Hua Heng waited outside Jingu Garden for a long time, and now he was naturally angry. When he spoke, his tone was not very friendly to Wang Sheng.
"Welcome, of course you are welcome. We have friends coming from afar, so I would like to ask you to lead the army, please."
Why did Hua Heng come to see me now?
Wang Sheng looked at Hua Heng's slightly angry face and guessed Hua Heng's purpose of coming here.
Hua Heng was in high spirits today, but now he was waiting outside Jingu Garden.
Could it be...
What did Hua Heng see?
Or did Wang Yan say something to this Hua Heng?
Today, Shangshu ordered Wang Yan to grab him and question him aggressively. Naturally, he could also grab Hua Heng and question him.
After all, Wang Yan's status and qualifications are there.
So, are you asking about the new land tax?
Wang Sheng's eyes flickered, and in a short period of time, his heart was filled with thousands of thoughts.
Welcoming Hua Heng into the living room of Jingu Garden, Wang Sheng and Hua Heng sat opposite each other, with wine and delicacies on display.
Originally, Hua Heng was hungry, but now that he saw the delicious food in Jinguyuan, his eyes almost went straight.
If Wang Sheng hadn't been right in front of him, he would have turned into a glutton and had a feast.
only...
He came to Jinguyuan this time not just to eat.
He came with a purpose.
Furthermore, there is no shortage of food in my house.
So even though he was very reluctant in his heart, Hua Heng still suppressed the rebellious organs.
"Your Majesty, can you hear about the new land tax in the court today?"
really!
Wang Sheng exclaimed in his heart that this was indeed the case, but his face showed an expression of "I admire you."
"The demeanor of the Central Leader in the court today really makes me admire you."
Although I know that what Marquis Guangyuan said may not be true, but when I hear it in my heart, why do I feel so comfortable?
Hua Heng was secretly happy, but his face remained calm.
"This new land tax was proposed by the Lord and His Majesty?"
Wang Sheng shook his head decisively.
"no."
Only a fool would admit it.
"no?"
Hua Heng was stunned for a moment and decided to believe Wang Sheng's words for the time being.
"What do you think of this new land tax?"
After hearing this, Wang Sheng understood.
Wang Yan did talk to Hua Heng, but he didn't say anything clearly.
Chapter completed!
