Chapter 168
The busiest time for Tingyu Tea House is during the twelfth lunar month every year. At the end of the year, officials from thirteen provinces in the Qian dynasty who came to Beijing to report on their duties would come here to sit, because from the second floor, you can see at a glance I saw the entrance of Xuanren and the roof of the palace in the imperial city.
On this day, there was heavy snow falling outside the door. The weather was bad, but there were many tea drinkers. There was a strong charcoal fire burning in the lobby, making it as warm as spring.
A man wearing a cloak and a cloak came in from the outside. His appearance could not be clearly seen, but judging from his height, he looked like a young man. The waiter immediately greeted him. He seemed to recognize that person. , and said in a low voice: "This place is full, please come upstairs."
The man nodded and went straight up the stairs. He walked to the private room at the far end on the right in a familiar way. He knocked twice and a voice came from inside: "Please come in."
The young man then walked in and saw two people sitting by the window. He took off his cloak and cloak and saluted, "Your Majesty, Teacher."
Prince Gong smiled and said: "Shen Zhi is here, sit down quickly and have a cup of tea to warm yourself up."
Dou Mingxuan stretched out his hand to pour tea for him and said: "The snow has not stopped in the past few days, it has been falling very hard."
Xie Ling looked at the clear water creating a whirlpool in the cup. The tea leaves were rising and falling, and the tea soup slowly turned blue. He said, "The auspicious snow heralds a good harvest. I believe there will be a good harvest next year."
"I hope so," Prince Gong was drinking tea. The fragrance of tea was faint in the room and the air was extremely quiet. At this moment, the sound of horse hooves hurriedly came from downstairs, accompanied by shouts.
Prince Gong¡¯s expression changed and he said, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
Xie Ling was sitting by the window, so he opened the window sash slightly, revealing only a small gap. Then he looked down and saw a group of soldiers riding past. He whispered: "They are from the Dongcheng Army and Horse Department. .¡±
Dou Mingxuan suddenly said: "I remember that Wei Zhang, the commander of the Dongcheng troops and horses, was very close to that person recently?"
He looked at Prince Gong, who nodded and said, "They were still discussing matters in Yuyu Tower a few days ago."
The people and horses downstairs have passed by, and the street has returned to silence again, with only a few messy horse hoof prints remaining. Xie Ling slowly closed the window sash and suddenly said: "It's almost time."
Prince Gong suddenly raised his head: "Are you sure?"
Xie Ling said: "He only has so much patience. I guess it will be around the Lantern Festival"
Since the beginning of winter, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Emperor Xuanhe's health has not been very good, and the imperial physician is always waiting for the summons from the palace.
"The emperor's health is not very good. On the night of the Shangyuan Festival, he vomited blood and fell into coma." Shi Hua carefully trimmed the branches of the plum blossoms and said slowly: "I remember very clearly. That time, the prince entered the palace overnight and kept watch. It took two days to return home. Although the emperor's illness gradually improved, it was still damaged."
"If the prince wants to cause trouble in the near future, the Lantern Festival is the best day. Because during the festival, the guards at the palace gates are a little loose and it is easy to be controlled."
Shi Hua's words flashed through Xie Ling's mind. His eyes softened for a moment, and soon became clear again. He told Prince Gong and Dou Mingxuan the reasons one by one, excluding the matter of Emperor Xuanhe being comatose, and then said: " When that day comes, we will make preparations in advance. If the prince does not do anything, of course it will be fine."
He paused as he spoke and said, "However, I don't think he will let go of this excellent opportunity."
Prince Gong was thoughtful, nodded slowly, and said, "In that case, we have to discuss it and make arrangements early."
Dou Mingxuan echoed: "That's true."
The three of them discussed the matter and did not leave until dark. The heavy snow outside had become much lighter. Xie Ling got on the carriage and said to Uncle Liu: "Go back."
"yes."
At the door of Xie's house, lanterns were hung high, and the dim yellow light was projected on the snow, reflecting the bright light.
Xie Ling entered the courtyard all the way. His steps were brisk and he was in a good mood. When he saw Shi Hua by the window, his mood became even better and the corners of his mouth began to raise slightly.
Seeing that he was covered in cold air, Shi Hua immediately came over to untie his cloak and said, "Why have you been gone for so long?"
Xie Ling lowered his head and looked at her long eyelashes, and said softly: "I was discussing things with the prince and the others, and I didn't pay attention to the time."
Shi Hua touched his hand and said, "It's so cold."
He turned around and stuffed a Tangbaozi into him to keep him warm, and said, "How did the discussion go?"
Xie Ling slowly told her the plan, her eyes bright.He looked down at poor Mrs. Li and thought to himself, maybe he, the princess, really thought something was wrong with Mrs. Li.
"At least in his opinion, Mrs. Li has a rosy complexion and is in good spirits. She doesn't look like she is sick at all
"Okay," Prince Gong coughed and said, "Since the princess has also treated Mrs. Li, let's leave."
"Your Majesty?" Mrs. Li opened her eyes wide in an instant and looked at him in disbelief.
Prince Gong ignored her, pushed her away slightly, and said to Princess Gong, "It's getting late. Princess, please go back with me."
Princess Gong was stunned for a moment and then said: "Yes."
The two of them walked out of the house together. It was still snowing outside. Princess Gong walked out with her arms folded, but was stopped by Prince Gong. She raised her head in confusion: "Your Majesty?"
Prince Gong frowned and looked at her: "Didn't you bring your cloak when you came out?"
Princess Gong pursed her lips, trying not to smile and said: "I heard that Mrs. Li is very ill here, so I didn't care much about it, so I came in a hurry."
Prince Gong was silent for a moment, and Princess Gong was about to speak, but she saw him taking off the cloak, putting it on her body, and whispered: "Let's go back first."
There was still a warm temperature on the cloak, which came from another person. Princess Gong was stunned for a moment.
The heavy snow is still falling, but it makes people feel that it is not as cold as before.
