Under Xiao Xiang's narration, Li Yan understood.
Wang Shu also understood, "Your highness, it seems that there must be someone behind Qiao Shuang. Otherwise, his highness has been renovating the palace a while ago, and Qiao Shuang would never dare to steal soap at this time."
"He doesn't just want to steal soap, but the people behind him want my method of making soap. He's so cruel. I don't care if I steal some soap, but if I want my method of making soap, I will lose my fortune. It seems that I have to check how many such people are on the palace." Li Yan is angry.
Dare to be so blatant at this juncture, Li Yan had to cut off his hands.
Li Yan doesn't know who is standing behind Qiao Shuang, but as long as anyone dares to reach out, Li Yan won't care who he is, just cut off his hand.
Li Yan doesn't care what Xiao Xiang does.
She is Wang Shu's person. Naturally, Wang Shu will deal with her.
see.
Wang Shu looked at Xiao Xiang who was kneeling on the ground, and then looked at Li Yan and sighed, "Your highness, Xiao Xiang has always been with me since I entered the palace. Otherwise, let's forget it this time."
"Your people, I don't ask more, you can do it by yourself." Li Yan replied lightly.
If such things are put in the palace, the queen will naturally handle them.
However, at this time, there was no longer a queen in the palace. Even if something happened in the palace, it was usually handled by one of the imperial concubines.
The fact that there was no empress in the palace began with Zong Li Yu of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Yu, the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, was the first emperor to succeed as the eldest son since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
At the same time, Li Yu, the founder of the Tang Dynasty, was also the emperor who pacified the An Shi Rebellion.
The emperors of Dai Zong have different views in history.
Some people say that he is a fatuous monarch, others say that he is a wise monarch.
However, in any case, the merits outweigh the demerits.
As for the reason why she didn't stand up, it was because of Shen Shi, the empress of Ruizhen.
When Shen was Li Yu or the King of Guangping, he was given Li Yu by the previous emperor and became Li Yu's concubine.
At the beginning of An Shi Rebellion, Chang'an fell, and Shen Family and other royal people were imprisoned in Luoyang by An Lushan.
When Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty fled, Li Xiang, the father of Li Yu, became emperor in Lingwu and made Li Yu the grand marshal of the world.
After Li Yu regained Luoyang, the eastern capital, he was able to see Shen Shi, who had been imprisoned for one year.
For some reasons, Li Yu did not welcome the Shen Family back to Chang'an, but the Shen Family still stayed in Luoyang.
Unexpectedly, Shi Siming, one of the other culprits of the An Shi Rebellion, captured Luoyang again. So far, Shen's whereabouts are unknown.
After Daizong Li Yu ascended the throne, he sent people to look for him, but it was still fruitless.
Even if his son, Prince Li Shi, ascended the throne as Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty, his search for decades failed.
During the reign of Emperor Daizong, because the Shen family did not return, the empress did not stand. Therefore, the position of empress has been an empty position since the beginning of Emperor Daizong.
Even though Tang Wenzong was in power at this time, he did not set up a queen.
The most important thing is that after his death, he gave it back to a high ranking imperial concubine and others.
So.
In dealing with Xiao Xiang's affairs, Li Yan also basically follows the current rules. Women's affairs are all handled by women. As a lord, it's better not to interfere.
Wang Shuxin loved her servant girl and finally got away with the heavy punishment. She was only fined three days for not eating and one month's salary.
After Li Yan saw it, he just smiled and said nothing.
Three days later.
Xiaoxiang, who was released from the ban, began to swing to the outer courtyard intentionally or unintentionally under the arrangement of Li Yan.
see.
Qiao Shuang, who could not see Xiao Xiang for three days, was anxious about soap when he saw Xiao Xiang. "Xiao Xiang, why haven't you seen anyone these days? Eh, Xiao Xiang, you look more beautiful with this silver hairpin."
"Steward Qiao, the silver hairpin is very beautiful, but there is only one, which is inserted on the head and looks very abrupt. If there are two, it would be the best." Xiaoxiang, following Li Yan's advice, began to lure Qiao Shuang.
When Qiao Shuang heard this, he hated it, but he could only eat it. He said with a smile, "Don't worry, Xiao Xiang. As long as you can take me to the side yard, I will not be unfair to you. It's just a silver hairpin. I will bring you another more beautiful one tomorrow or tomorrow."
The price of a silver hairpin is very high. It is estimated that it will cost him half a year's salary.
"That's a good deal." Xiaoxiang responded with a smile, looked around, and walked with small steps to lead Qiao Shuang to the side yard.
Qiao Shuang followed closely, excited, and his eyes were like thieves, patrolling around.
On the way to the side yard, Xiao Xiang was nervous, but thought of what Li Yan had told her, she stopped and turned around. But your highness, they have just started to make some. "
"Oh? Is the soap you mentioned so good, Xiao Xiang?" Qiao Shuang was even more elated when he heard another thing coming out of the side yard.
Xiaoxiang nodded heavily, "Of course, I tried it again. The soap smells good, even algae beans can't compete with it. But at this time, we went to the side yard, and those Taoist priests must be drinking. I'm afraid we can't watch them make it tonight."
When Qiao Shuang heard this, he said to himself, 'It seems that the production method can only be postponed for a while, but if you can get the soap, I think Duke Zheng will like it. When the time comes, if he is generous, he will give me something in the palace. '
Qiao Shuang, who had an idea, looked at Xiao Xiang and flattered him, "Xiao Xiang, you are my good fragrance. If I can use soap, I will send you some superior rouge powder tomorrow."
"That's a good deal." Xiao Xiang saw Qiao Shuang entering the game, and his face was a little nervous. He quickly turned his head, continued to take small steps, and went to the side yard.
Joe was delighted.
Turn Nine Road and Eighteen Corners.
The two finally arrived not far from the gate of the side yard.
At this time, though the gate of the side yard was closed, the lights were still bright inside, and the voices of all the Taoists' boxing and drinking were heard frequently.
Qiao Shuang looked at the closed gate of the side yard and wondered how Xiaoxiang would bring him into the side yard for a while without letting the Taoist priests find him.
nervous.
Qiao Shuang was nervous, and Xiao Xiang was even more nervous.
At the moment, Xiao Xiang looked at both sides of the gate of the side yard. It was dark, and he was afraid. 'Your highness said he would arrange people, but I didn't find anyone. If Qiao Shuang suddenly explodes, my life will be over. '
Li Yan doesn't care about Xiao Xiang.
Tonight.
What Li Yan wants is to get rid of thieves and get Qiao Shuang on the spot.
And Xiaoxiang is the lure of tonight, and also the guide to lure Qiao Shuang.
