Chapter 63 Eight Tigers Parade

The next day, because the prince was "ill" and did not have to enter the palace, Yang Ling was able to sleep in a lazy sleep. It was not until the second hour that he woke up from his dream. The bright spring sunshine was reflected in through the window paper and was spread on his quilt, with soft and bright light.

The young lady snuggled in his arms like a kitten, sleeping sweetly. Her black hair covered her half of her pretty face, and her beautiful and delicate face showed a charming long eyelashes with a slight rhythm in the quietness.

Her pink and delicate face is very attractive. Although the corners of her eyes and eyebrows still exudes a kind of childishness and purity, she already has the smell of becoming a woman. Yang Ling looked at the little girl in her arms with pity, curled up her arms and put her head on her, not daring to move too much, for fear of waking her up.

Yesterday, she told her that she didn't have to get up early to enter the palace today. Seeing that she was still sleeping with peace of mind, Yang Ling realized that these days had been getting up early and entering the palace was very painful. However, she woke herself up every day, and every time she woke up the food, she had finished her meal. Not only did she get up early, but she was always worried about these things and was not so down-to-earth, and she would definitely be even more tired.

Despite her fatigue, the young mother woke up after a while. She opened her eyes and saw that her husband had woken up. She hurriedly stuck out her tongue and said embarrassedly: "Oh, my husband is awake? Really, I've overslept."

Seeing that she was about to get up in panic, Yang Ling reached out and pressed her shoulder, and smiled and said, "You have gotten up too early these two days, cleaned up tonight, and slept too late. Anyway, I don't have to go so early today, so take a rest."

When the young lady heard him talk about Fengyue, she had a blush that was not easy to detect. She glanced at him with shame and joy, agreed, and snuggled into his arms gently, and said coquettishly: "Well! I don't know what happened to me these two days, especially now I feel that my bones are sour and soft, so I don't want to move. When I was at my parents' home, I had to get up early to practice martial arts every day, but now I'm getting lazy."

When Yang Ling heard her say that her body was sore and too lazy to move, she hurriedly said, "How could it be? But is it hurt by wind?" As she said, she looked at her forehead. Her forehead was slightly wet, but it was cool and not hot.

The young lady has always been strong and has never been sick since she was a child, so she has not taken it to her heart. She also said that she had just broken the melon in the past two days and her husband had to overdo it. She was so embarrassed to say this, so she laughed softly and said, "It's okay, I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and my body is strong. I'm really going to catch a cold. I'll go to the doctor to prescribe medicine and take a few patches."

Yang Ling touched her forehead without a fever, so she felt relieved. She saw her lazy and lazy beauty, full of bride style, and her rare charm was very different from the handsome and childishness of the past. Unconsciously, her desire gradually moved, brought her closer and said with a sly smile: "Come on, my husband will help the young lady massage to relieve her fatigue."

The hand under the quilt irregularly penetrated into Youniang's little clothes, sneaked into her soft and delicate chest, and gently stroked it. Han Youniang gave him a blank look and a faint intoxicating redness appeared on her face.

The young lady remained silent, dizzy and let Yangling touch her arms. She was touched by him and felt uncomfortable. She felt so tired that she didn't want to move. She panted and said with a slight panting: "My husband, stop making trouble. Didn't you say you'd have to go to the palace? Get up quickly and rinse your mouth and clothes, I'll cook for you."

Seeing that she was shy, Yang Ling couldn't bear to force each other, so she kissed her cheek gently and laughed: "If you are tired, just rest. My husband will just eat something on the road later."

The young lady was not willing to accept it. While holding up her body to dress, she asked, "Mr., when I came back yesterday, Liu Biao asked you to go to the Beizhen Fushi. Why are you doing? Aren't you by the prince's side now?"

Yang Ling took advantage of her rise and slapped her plump buttocks and said with a smile: "But the official rank of the Jinyiwei must be assigned a point guard. Admiral Zhang was afraid that I would handle official duties without flaws, so he gave me a more leisurely man, who was specifically responsible for the official documents submitted to the capital by the Nanzhen Fushi."

The young lady quickly held her hair, said softly, and asked with a slight look on her face, "My husband, is the Nanzhen Fushu Department in charge of anything?"

Yang Ling said: "The Nanzhen Fushi Department is in charge of the affairs of the military craftsman in the guards. The criminal craftsman is to convict people. What about military craftsmen, such as armor, ordnance, rockets, muskets, and even warships and chariots, are all under the management of the Nanzhen Fushi Department."

The name of the guard in Yang Ling mentioned is only responsible for sentencing the people who committed crimes in the Jinyiwei. Ordinary officials and generals still surrender the jurisdiction of the Three Laws. Therefore, the scope of responsibility of the Nanzhen Fushi is a bit like a small-scale military court. As for the management of military craftsmen, it is of course a very important department if they are placed in modern times, but managing these technical workers in that era was not a great thing.

The young lady naturally didn't understand these things. After Yang Ling had breakfast, he told her to go to the kang to rest if she was uncomfortable. She carried a pre-prepared bag and ran slowly to the back door of the capital.

It was still early, but shops were already open here. At that time, the social status of those who worked in business was still very low, but the huge profits of doing business were jealous. Therefore, some hereditary heroes, Xunqing, sent their family managers to open shops near Hougener, the managers in the name of the managers. In fact, investment, operation and profits were all in their hands, and spontaneously formed a market for selling medium and high-end goods here.

Yang Ling ordered a pot of tea in a tea shop near the gate of the harem, ordered a plate of melon seeds, and waited while drinking. After waiting for half an hour, the palace gate opened, and more than twenty eunuchs drove out of the gate of the harem.

The inner palace often goes to Yuquan Mountain to draw high-quality spring water for the emperor and concubines to drink. Although they usually set off before dawn, it is common to come out at this time, so the bustling tourists and merchants don’t care.

Yang Ling looked carefully and saw a few eunuchs among the people lowering their heads slightly and looking around. One of the young eunuchs stood beside the tall wheel of the water truck, looking around with a pair of thief eyes. Yang Ling recognized that the person was Zhu Houzhao at first sight and hurriedly met him.

Zhu Houzhao was wearing the clothes of a little eunuch and looked around. Yang Ling leaned over and grabbed his sleeve and whispered, "Crown Prince". Zhu Houzhao was startled and looked up and saw that it was him. She couldn't help but feel happy. Yang Ling hurriedly waved his hand to signal to silence. Liu Jin also stood beside Zhu Houzhao and smiled slightly when he saw Yang Ling.

Yang Ling followed them with a bag on his back and came to a furniture store. The store transported high-quality wood from all over the country and hired many carpenters to make different styles of furniture on site at the request of the high-ranking officials. Therefore, there is an aisle next to the store and you will enter your own wood products factory.

Yang Ling pulled Zhu Houzhao, and Zhu Houzhao understood and followed Yang Ling to the point where he was not paying attention. Yang Ling took two steps and saw that there was no one around, so he stopped and turned around and was about to speak. When he saw the person following Zhu Houzhao, his eyes were straightened and he said in surprise: "Why are all the father-in-laws here?"

Yesterday, it was agreed that Liu Jin and Zhang Yong accompanied Zhu Houzhao to get out of the palace by taking advantage of the opportunity of the water harvesting cart. Gu Dayong and Ma Yongcheng were used as a cover-up in the East Palace. Gao Feng, Luo Xiang, Wei Bin, and Qiu Ju did not use it together.

Because these Eight Tigers are not all old people, some are young eunuchs in their early 20s. If they all come out, they are too conspicuous, and they are afraid that Zhu Houzhao will cause trouble if they are rushing. Zhang Yong and Liu Jin are one of them are very scheming, and they are more sensible. It is safer to have them come out to take care of them. Unexpectedly, when they see that all the eight people are not going to pull them, they all come out of the palace.

Wei Bin was surprised when he saw Yang Ling and laughed: "Don't worry, Mr. Yang, don't worry. The emperor just visited the prince last night. Besides, there are military intelligence reports to the palace today. The emperor is discussing matters with three Grand Secretary, the Ministry of War, the Minister of Works, and the Ministry of Works. He has to go to inspect the spring examination room with the Ministry of Rites and Ministry of Revenue. It's okay to do it."

Yang Ling smiled bitterly. He understood that these people were reluctant to let go of the opportunity to please the prince. Yang Ling had no choice but to say, "What the father-in-law said was the same, but the officials did not know about it in advance, so they only prepared three sets of clothes."

Qiu Ju hurriedly said, "It's okay, we all have our own clothes." He looked around and saw that someone had passed by the intersection occasionally, and he didn't pay much attention to it. He hurriedly took off his eunuch's robe and hat. He was wearing an ordinary scholar's clothes, and a scholar's scarf on his head, and he changed his clothes quickly. He was originally a eunuch and lacked masculinity. Although his skin was a little dark, he really looked like a scholar with indigestion.

Zhu Houzhao, Liu Jin and Zhang Yong were not as naughty as Yang Ling had prepared clothes. The other people changed their clothes and stood in front of them. The three of them hurriedly changed their clothes, and ten people dressed up all the same literati. Fortunately, it was the spring exam recently, and scholars from all over the capital gathered in the capital, and scholars all over the city of Beijing were not suspicious.

Yang Ling asked, "Prince, should we go to the Ministry of War now?"

Zhu Hou shone out of the palace, like a bird left a cage. In the past, when his father took him to the secret protection of many guards, he would not go around in some sparsely populated scenic spots. It is rare to come out today. He was like a countryman entering the city, looking at everything fresh. If he went to the Ministry of War now, he wanted to go elsewhere and then he would definitely be out of the way. He would not be willing to go now, so he waved his hand and said, "If you are not busy, don't be busy, let's go around first."

Yang Ling had no choice but to accompany him to wander in the market. Zhu Houzhao saw that many things sold on the market were not seen in the palace and liked them very much. This little guy had a good understanding. Seeing others bargaining, he chatted so hard that he was ignorant and disappeared. He felt itchy for a while. When he saw what he liked, he couldn't help but come forward to ask the price, and then learned to talk to others about the price.

Although he didn't understand the price, most of the Bahu knew it well. With them helping each other, Zhu Houzhao did not treat it as a sucker. But after talking about the price, he had to buy it. Most of the Bahu are still bitter now and have no money. Only Ma Yongcheng is responsible for daily purchasing in the palace. Although he is not the eunuch in charge, the silver in his hand is enough to spend. In order to please the prince, as long as Zhu Houzhao talks about the price, he will immediately pay for it.

Several people spent less than an hour shopping in the market at the imperial city. Eight eunuchs were connected to Yang Ling, and everyone was carrying something on their backs. Even Zhu Houzhao also carried a roll of silk across his shoulders, two bags of tea in his right hand, three pairs of pearls hanging around his neck, and a lotus goldfish embedded in it in the left hand, and a large porcelain plate with beautiful shape, which looked indescribable.

Although those businessmen have a humble status, they are all managers sent by wealthy families. They have seen some worldly affairs. Seeing that these people are nouveau riche, they think they are rich people from the countryside. After earning their money, they will inevitably show some contempt.

Zhu Houzhao had a good time and as for their expressions, he was too lazy to pay attention to them. He was tired of shopping in the market. He felt that the things he had just bought were too hindered. When he looked back, he saw that Liu Jin and Yang Ling looked even more embarrassed than him. Zhu Houzhao laughed happily.

He thought that these eight people were all served by the palace and had no relatives in the capital, so he said to Yang Ling: "I was having a lot of fun today. I wanted to go on the street again, but it was too inconvenient to carry these things. Haven't you just arrived in the capital? These things are just like gifts from us. Let's get a car on the street, and we will send the things to your house, and then go shopping."

Yang Ling was happy when he heard this. He didn't expect that there would be unexpected gains when he went shopping with the prince. Zhu Houzhao bought things all by his personal preference, but he didn't care about the price. Therefore, these things were a variety of things, and the ones were only worth more than 20 yuan, while the ones were expensive were worth more than 300 taels. The things that the few people cared were probably not thousands of taels. Among them, there were things like rouge and diamond mirrors, which saved time to buy for the young lady home.

He was happy and had to be polite. He quickly gave in and said, "Crown Prince, this is not appropriate. These are all things you like. Even if you want to reward your subordinates, all the eight father-in-laws should have a share."

Zhu Houzhao heard this and laughed and scolded, "Stop it. They eat what is in the palace and take what is in the palace, and they don't even have a home. What's the use of giving them these things? Go and hire a car."

Zhang Yong also said with a bitter face: "Mr. Yang, don't refuse. My body is almost unbearable. Oh, this jar didn't feel so heavy just now, and now it's almost impossible to escape."

Luo Xiang, Wei Bin, and Qiu Ju were among them nodding repeatedly. Although they were all servants who were obedient, they had not done much effort. After caring things for the past half day, they were tired and exhausted, and they did not dare to throw away the things the prince bought. Now they just hoped to take off these things quickly. As for whom they gave it, it didn't matter.

So, Yang Ling and Zhu Houzhao stood shoulder to shoulder and squeezed out the crowd to go up the street. Due to the large number of people, these eunuchs were afraid that Zhengde would be inadvertent, so they habitually guarded the four fronts and four backs, with their waists slightly bent, looking like they were waiting for a young master Guijie to travel.

But their dress was also like a scholar, which made people look a little weird when they saw it. The group of people didn't realize it, and they lined up in two columns, carrying some messy things to go to Yangling's house to the bottom of the pot.
