Chapter 215 Spring is coming
"If you don't make a decision, you will suffer the consequences. Didn't my cousin make the decision?"
Zhao Fangyu was inexplicably in a bad mood today, perhaps because he had been plotted against. He didn't really want to pay attention to Meng Yan's sadness at this moment.
She and Meng Yanzhen were just partners, not really close. She and Meng Yanzhen could be considered to have a friendship, but it was not as deep as that between them, like Zhao Fangjin.
Meng Yanzhen also noticed this, and quickly wiped away his tears. He stood in the wind for a while to wake himself up before continuing, "I would like to ask my aunt to persuade my mother to send Xun Ge'er to Longxi. If my aunt doesn't agree... I will no longer care about them."
Zhao Fangyu picked up a plum and put it in his mouth. It was a fresh green plum pickled with honey, but Zhao Fangyu still shuddered from the sourness.
"But, but whether it will work or not, I don't know."
"Mom has become more and more lazy in recent years. Her yard is like a snow cave. It's lively only when my sister, Li Ge'er and Shu Ge'er go there."
Hearing this, Meng Yanzhen smiled bitterly and said, "Whether it succeeds or not, let's give it a try."
"Ni'er and I had no hope in the palace. We finally got the queen's care and our lives became easier."
"That day, my mother came to the palace to ask about it. I asked about sending Xun'er to Longxi, but she didn't hesitate to fight with me... It was as if I wanted to harm Li'er..."
Zhao Fangyu frowned slightly: "Why is my aunt so protective of me now?" She remembered that when she saw Li Shumin, she was obviously a very normal lady.
How can people go so crazy just by seeing these things?
"Meng Er was not at home, and that little bitch Meng Yunxiang instigated father to disobey mother again and again, and even wanted to reach out to Xun Ge'er. Mother never told me about these things, and I don't know what handle that little beast had that made mother dare not touch her!"
Zhao Fangyu thought about it, and then calculated her age. He guessed that Li Shumin was in menopause and someone deliberately provoked her emotions. When she had been depressed for many years and was extremely mentally unstable, someone went crazy at her sensitive spot, which led to her taking her life more and more seriously and engaging in almost pathological behavior.
But the cause of this disease lies in the person, and it is neither easy nor difficult to cure. It can only be said that it was a lucky coincidence that Meng Yunxiang was eliminated, and it can be regarded as one less trouble.
"I'll go talk to mother myself." Zhao Fangyu stuffed another plum into her mouth, looking thoughtful. "Sister, please keep an eye on that person's movements."
Meng Yanzhen nodded, and Zhao Fangyu suddenly remembered something that had been pent up in her heart for a long time: "Sister, are you investigating an old incident about my husband?"
Meng Yanzhen, wearing bright red nail polish, reached out for the plum and quietly picked up a plum instead: "Yes, did he tell you?"
Zhao Fangyu nodded silently. When the plum taste in his mouth faded and the inexplicable feeling dissipated, Zhao Fangyu stood up suddenly and said, "Sister is standing beside the queen now. You'd better stop this matter."
When investigating how someone was killed on their territory, it seems that the man hanged himself.
Zhao Fangyu ate a few plums and felt that he loved this little thing more and more. He simply took the plate of plums back and took the recipe with him.
Zhou Qinghe had nothing to do, so he was waiting for her at the palace gate. In fact, he was not exactly idle, but he was used to neglecting his duties, so this one wasn't a big deal.
After sending Zhao Fangyu home, Zhou Qinghe simply stayed at home and asked someone to bring back the documents from the yamen.
"Are you really okay?"
Zhou Qinghe also followed suit, chewing plums. “They are all useless things. After reading them, I wrote a memorial to my superiors, but they put them away without even looking at them.”
Zhao Fangyu nodded, quickly handed the recipe to Su Re, and told her to make some more according to the recipe.
"I got Mr. Wu."
Zhou Qinghe was surprised, but when he thought about the presence of Concubine Dan in the palace, he just thought that Concubine Dan had asked for it for her.
"It is said that the daughter of the Shuobei Shen family chopped off two enemy leaders."
Zhou Qinghe obviously knew who Shen Jiyao was. For a moment, his lips were pursed, and he looked constipated.
Zhao Fangyu found it funny. Zhou Qinghe always acted pretentiously in front of her, pretending to be all gentle and righteous. But behind her back, he cursed everyone and even kicked any dog passing by.
Zhao Fangyu already knew that Zhou Qinghe had threatened the officials of the Ministry of Revenue with their ancestral tombs in order to provide them with food and cotton clothes. The officials of the Ministry of Revenue wrote to the emperor overnight, and finally suppressed the matter on the grounds that it was just a child's joke and no harm was done.
In the end, the people from the Ministry of Revenue reluctantly sent people food, fodder, and cotton-padded clothes. No matter what was inside, the quantity was sufficient.
There are countless such asshole deeds, and Zhou Qinghe's image can only be briefly propped up in front of Zhao Fangyu.
Just for a moment.
Zhou Qinghe sighed twice after a long absence: "Shen Jiyao from the Shen family joined the army as a woman. Although she is a woman, she was able to kill seven out of seven among the generals of the same period."
"In Shuobei, there are even rumors that she likes girls and doesn't like men, because men are not as masculine as her."
Zhao Fangyu burst out laughing twice: "What are you talking about? She is clearly the best among women, how can she be called masculine?"
Zhou Qinghe didn't understand, but he wasn't here to argue with Zhao Fangyu, so he continued, "This first-class girl is naturally the best Mr. Wu. Her father died in the war, and the new commander-in-chief in Shuobei has been at odds with the Shen family for a long time."
"There are no males in this generation of the Shen family. They all follow Shen Jiyao's lead. However, Shen Jiyao was forcibly sent out from Shuobei due to etiquette. He can only return to Shuobei after the mourning period is over."
"She won't be able to stay in the capital for long, but if you can make friends with her, even if I can't be of any use to you in the future, you'll have more confidence."
It was obvious that he was going to suffer in the matter of the Third Prince, and for a while, Zhou Qinghe was in great limelight, but until the dust settled, Zhou Qinghe could not be completely relieved.
"The Third Prince is dismissed from his post and confined to his home for a year."
Zhao Fangyu snorted arrogantly: "Finally, there is some good news."
"I have already informed my cousin about your matter. There is no need to investigate further."
"She is now teaming up with the Queen in the palace. If things continue like this, I'm afraid the two of them will start fighting first."
Zhou Qinghe also nodded, a crisp plum making a crunching sound in his mouth.
The two of them fell into silence tacitly, and fell asleep on the lounge chairs in the patio, one on the left and the other on the right, on such a nice day.
Zhao Fangyu had been very tired these days. When Zhou Qinghe woke up, he saw that she was covered with a thin quilt. On the back of the white embroidery of the Eight Immortals by Su Gong, there were clusters of cream-yellow osmanthus flowers.
The wind was not strong, so Zhao Fangyu held his fan over his face to block out the sunlight. He slowly woke up, smelling the osmanthus fragrance in the yard.
Her eyes were moist, her lips parted slightly, and she made a sound different from usual: "What time is it? Why are you still here?"
Zhou Qinghe's heart, which had just been captured, seemed to be stabbed by an arrow in an instant.
