The words of the King of the Northern War in Wangxian Lou soon spread in private, along with his reputation for being afraid of internal affairs.

It is still unknown what the former officials thought, but the women in the back house were both angry and envious, and were vaguely sour. Angry is that the first plan to go to the palace to see people off failed; admiration is that the notorious king of the Northern War, should be so considerate to the princess. If you look at the Ji concubines who compete with each other all day in their own back house, they will not fight together angrily.

Are young couples, how come the gap is so big?!

These days, many adults go back to their houses and are inexplicably run by their wives. It's just that while they sympathize with the king of the Northern War, they are also a little resentful: you don't dare to take a concubine to talk about the scene, how can you make it known to everyone and bring us tired!

It's just that the aristocracy of a high family should always pay attention to decency. No matter how angry you are in your heart, you have to keep it on your face and keep your posture. The upper and lower dynasties met the king of the Northern War, and no one really dared to run forward, but only jokingly asked, "is Wang Ye still going to Sanweizhai today?"

They asked strange questions, but Xiao Zhige rarely had a good temper, picking eyebrows and saying, "No, the princess likes to eat roast duck these days."

My lords: "."

Xiao Zhige kept walking and hurried back to his home. The reaction of these people is not in his consideration. He is more concerned about how the new manuscripts sold a few days ago.

Since he wants to create public opinion among the people, he must write something novel and interesting, ask more people to spend money to buy it, and spread it to the greatest extent so that his goal can be achieved.

It happened that the manager of Chengnan Book Company was coming to deliver the account books today, so he rushed to the house at once.

Wangfu study.

The manager of Chengnan Book Company held up the account books and reported on the business situation in the past few days.

"the manuscripts written according to Wang Ye's request were very popular as soon as they were launched. now the first batch has been sold out and the second batch is being rushed out. In addition, bookshops in Changyang County, Qinghe County and other places have also sent managers to find them and want to buy a large number of books from our bookstore. "

An Changqing looked at the amount in the account book and did make a lot of money. It seemed that the new dialect book was indeed popular-since the last time Xiao Zhige confessed the story of the book, Chengnan Book Company had no longer kept it from him, and all matters had been left to him to take care of.

"the new vernacular is so bizarre that no one questions it?"

As soon as the new manuscript was printed, a copy was sent to the Wangfu. Xiao Zhige dared not hide it from him this time, and the two read it together. The scholars employed in the bookstore are quite capable. At first, Xiao Zhige only roughly said a few main points. These scholars not only wrote according to the requirements, but also wrote brilliantly, but the content was bolder and more bizarre than those words in the past. it's not too much to say that it's unorthodox.

For example, this time an Changqing became a fairy to repay kindness in the script, and Xiao Zhige became a general who suffered injustice. In order to repay the favor, the fairy went through thousands of difficulties and dangers, and finally cleared up the grievances for the general. Just as he was ready to retire and return to heaven, he was imprisoned by the general in the general's mansion. It turned out that the general had long been happy with the immortal, and knew that the immortal wanted to leave, so he simply imprisoned the man.

The fairy is locked up in the mansion, with the general every day. But half a year, unexpectedly got pregnant. The general was surprised and delighted, but unexpectedly the news leaked out that the pregnant fairy was framed as evil, and the emperor personally ordered that he should burn the fairy and the child in his belly in public. The general was in a hurry to rob the execution ground in the middle of the night, but in order to protect the fairy, he inadvertently plotted to die. Before he died, the general unlocked the chain of the fairy's divine power and made the fairy forget him.

The fairy naturally refused, and after restoring his divine power, he personally escorted the general's soul to reincarnation, and he went back to heaven to give birth to a pair of dragon and Phoenix twins. Since then, every year during the Qingming Festival, fairies will take their children to the world to worship at the general's grave.

The script came to an end at this point. An Changqing listened to the manager and said that the scholar was going to write another post-biography of the reincarnation of the general. If this is not based on him and Xiao Zhige as the prototype, he must praise "good".

"there are some, but most of them say that it is nonsense to say that a man is pregnant." The manager bowed and replied, "however, more people think that since they are all fairies, it is not unusual for them to get pregnant, so it does not hinder us. On the contrary, many guests who have bought telephone books come back and ask when the post-mortem will come out."

I didn't expect that the people would accept it so easily. An Changqing felt that she had underestimated the bearing capacity of the people in Beijing. After thinking about it, he said, "that's the case." Ask the scholar to write and post as soon as possible. As for cooperation with other bookstores, you can talk about it yourself, and we can sell it without losing money. "

"am I late?" No sooner had Xiao Zhige arrived than he heard the last word.

"I'm almost done."

Xiao Zhige sat down beside him, took the ledger and looked through it, and listened to an Changqing arrange the follow-up matters methodically. When he had finished, the manager saluted and retreated.

Without an outsider, Xiao Zhige put down the account book and raised his eyebrows: "I told you there would be no problem, but you didn't believe me."

An Changqing said, "the people can accept the story in this story, but they may not be able to accept that the story comes true."

"I've seen more and listened more, and those who don't believe it have believed it." Xiao Zhige firmly said: "as long as they proceed step by step as planned, they will have to believe even if they don't believe it in the future."

His words were certain that the wavering in an Changqing's heart broke up again. Instead, he talked to him about another thing: "the Crown Princess made a post and invited us to stay at the house tomorrow for wine and small gatherings."

Their relationship with the crown prince has never been harmonious, and they have only met with the crown princess for a few times. The other party suddenly wrote a post, afraid that there is no good banquet, drunken Weng's intention is not in the wine.

It's just that the prince is the eldest brother and the king of a country. Although they knew it was a Hongmen banquet, they could not refuse it in any way.

Xiao Zhige narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "if you can't refuse, go, but now you don't have to be afraid of him."

The next morning, the two went to the East Palace for dinner together.

The East Palace was built outside the forbidden palace, and the carriage went eastbound through the outer gate and arrived.

There was a waiter waiting for the East Palace at the main entrance. When he saw that the car of the Northern War Palace had arrived, he hurriedly came to meet him. When he got out of the carriage and entered the house, he was led to the pavilion in the front yard.

The wine and banquet is set in the octagonal pavilion in the garden, where there are exquisite small tables and plates of delicate snacks, while the small red mud stove on one side is still warm with wine, and the white fog is curling away. The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess had arrived first, and when they saw that they were brought over by the waiter, they beckoned them to take their seats.

Crown Princess Yingying said with a smile: "because it is a family banquet, it is not too dignified, you can not disrelish shabby."

"how can such an ingenious feast be said to be shabby?" The crown princess pretended to be familiar with her smiling face, and an Changqing naturally did not want to be left behind, and her expression was flawless.

When the four people sat down during the dinner, the maid of the palace began to serve cold dishes, and not far away there were musicians stroking the piano, the sound of which was quiet and poetic.

The princess waved back the waitress, boiled the wine herself, poured the warm wine into a glazed cup with a small bamboo tube, and added a grain of green plum, then whispered to them: "this is the green plum picked last year and pickled with wine." this is the right time to take out the wine. The special snow plum wine in the palace, coupled with a green plum, tastes wonderful. "

"I vaguely remembered that the princess loved this snow plum wine, so I specially asked the Guanglu Temple to reserve two altars for me. I am sure you can go home with pleasure today."

She was dignified and elegant with a gentle smile on her face, and her demeanor and manner alone would not have tarnished the name of the princess, if she had not mentioned the snow plum wine again.

When an Changqing attended the palace banquet for the first time, she drank snow plum wine. At that time, he was greedy for a few more drinks because he liked it. But unexpectedly, the prince turned around and sent him wine in the name of the crown princess, which made an Changqing disgusting.

Unexpectedly, after two years, the old story was brought up again.

An Changqing looked at the perfect smile on the princess's face and couldn't understand what she was doing for the crown prince.

Looking down at Qinglie wine, an Changqing skimmed her mouth and felt sick to her stomach.

"that would be a disappointment to the crown princess. Last year Changqing went to Yanzhou and fell in love with the local spirits. When it comes to this fine-brewed snow plum wine, it is hard to avoid feeling dull and boring, and it is not as enjoyable as drinking ordinary tea. "

He refused to show no mercy, not to mention the crown princess, even the face of the crown prince changed slightly. "the crown princess spent a lot of time asking for this snow plum wine," he said with a smile. "

An Changqing smiled but said nothing and took a look at Xiao Zhige on his side.

Xiao Zhige's eyes swept the prince, directly picked up the wine pot on the small stove, discarded the cup with a bowl, poured a bowl full of wine and picked it up: "make the elder brother and sister-in-law laugh. Chang Qing has always been raised by me. Since he doesn't like to drink, I'll take his place." I don't think the emperor's wife will mind such a trifle. "

The Crown Princess reopened her smiling face and said, "of course." I don't mind. "

The prince beside her looked gloomy, but he said nothing more.

As a result of this, the atmosphere at the dinner was no longer harmonious. The four stopped talking and only used food in silence.

Crown Princess Yu looked at the two people opposite and saw that although they did not say much, they had a tacit understanding between their actions. For the sake of elegance, the banquet dishes are prepared with exquisite cold dishes, most of which are dim sum. An Changqing put one piece on each clip, and if he didn't like it, he would just take a sip and put it back on his plate. On the other hand, Xiao Zhige will naturally clip it to eat, and then give him another one.

As soon as she looked at it, she saw that an Changqing had tasted five or six kinds of snacks, but only two of them had really eaten. After only one taste of the rest, Xiao Zhige was asked to eat it.

Sure enough, he is very sharp-mouthed.

The Crown Princess thought, "not only is she sharp-mouthed, but she has no rules at all." It was only when the king of the Northern War was born in the army that he was able to put up with such a style. As long as he is a fastidious family, an Changqing is sure to be reprimanded by his elders and learn the rules again.

Drawing down the emotion in her eyes, the princess remembered the purpose of today, pressed her lips with a veil, and began to say, "once upon a time, I heard that the second younger brother was very indulgent to the princess and did not believe me." When I saw it with my own eyes today, I knew that what was written in the notebooks outside was true. "

So that's what this is about. An Changqing quietly exchanged eyes with Xiao Zhige and smiled sheepishly: "the Crown Princess also saw those words?" It's all made up by the scholars. how can you take it seriously? "

"I do see that the people really take it very much." The prince sipped his wine and looked at him inquisitively. "it's all going on outside," he said. "the princess of the Northern War came down to earth as an immortal, which can protect the people of Daji." A pair of children are born with auspicious luck, which is a great good omen. "

"Yes, I also heard that many people are going to set up a shrine for the princess to offer incense and fire." The crown princess caressed Jinchai on the sideburns and took the conversation and jokingly said to Xiao Zhige, "even your Majesty and the crown prince are not as popular as the princess." No wonder the prince indulged the princess so much. "

These words can be said to kill without seeing blood.

The four men wore masks and cheated on the snake for so long that the Hongmen banquet finally came to Tu Xiong Dagger.

"the people are uneducated and short-sighted, and they can be forgiven for taking the story seriously. Why did the Crown Princess believe it? " An Changqing looked innocent: "I also read that book, and it said that I knew magic and gave birth to a pair of dragon and Phoenix twins in the body of a man."

He deliberately turned his head and winked at Xiao Zhige: "…". In this way, the little son and the princess happen to be a pair of twins, and they also come out of my belly. "

"the Crown Princess said. Is what Changqing said right? "

The Crown Princess obviously did not expect him to be so cunning and sophistry, and her face changed for a while, but she failed to pick up the words.

However, Xiao Zhige nodded and said, "the two children were born to you." In the future, if anyone dares to say that they are not born to you, I will teach them a lesson. "

"of course. Brother Heng and Sister Pearl are going to call me my own father. " An Changqing answered with a smile.

The two of them sang a song and made a peace with each other, and nine percent of them were true and one percent false. It fell into the ears of the crown prince and the princess, but the husband and wife were so cunning that they deliberately argued when they caught the leak.

However, this time they just wanted to take the opportunity to find out the bottom of Xiao Zhige. Outside, the imperial concubine of the Northern War was about to be erected, and they did not believe that Xiao Zhige and Xiao Zhige would know nothing about it. He even wondered whether the situation was planned by Xiao Zhige. After all, the princess of the Northern War is an immortal to protect all the people, so isn't the king of the Northern War the one chosen by God?

It's okay if it's unintentional, if it's intentional. The prince's eyes are fierce, and he is bound to win the dragon seat. If Xiao Zhige wants to grab it, don't blame him for doing it first.

The author has something to say:

Here: if we don't believe the truth, we have to lie to others. They are so difficult to serve.
