Chapter 191: Dusk Rain Palace
Murong Lingfeng firmly believed that Shen Qing had a public face, otherwise why would so many people say that he looked like him? Anyway, the little prince made a hundred guarantees, and she had never seen the second brother of the Ninth Prince. www.biquge.info Of course, she is not interested in this second brother, she only cares about the sixth prince's move to wake up Shen Qing.
Shen Qing opened his eyes and panicked for a long time before he could see the situation in the room clearly. His gaze finally focused on Murong Lingfeng, and he stretched out his hand to her, "Little boy......"
Murong Lingfeng wanted to pass, but he was dragged by Yun Mo. The little boy had to bring him over, "You have to recuperate, don't worry about other things, we will take care of it." Now, the emperor has captured Concubine Yin Shu, and presumably the black scorpion old demon will be caught just around the corner. She knew what Shen Qing was worried about, so she gave him a reassuring pill first.
"Concubine Yin Shu?" Shen Qing frowned and coughed a few times, "Why did you arrest Concubine Yin? It wasn't Concubine Yin who cooperated with the old demon of the black scorpion!"
Murong Lingfeng's eyes widened, "No?" "It's not Concubine Yin Shu, who could it be?"
"The reason why I was hung by the black scorpion old demon this time was because I overheard his conversation with that imperial concubine. They said that they wanted Concubine Yin Shu to be affected by this black cauldron, and at the same time clear the suspicion, they could also remove a big obstacle, killing two birds with one stone. Shen Qing breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Last time I was in the crowd during the Southern Chu State Ceremony, I saw Concubine Yin Shu, but it was definitely not her. ”
"Have you seen the imperial concubine who conspired with the old demon of the black scorpion?" the Nine Princes asked, "If you were asked to look at it again, you might recognize it?"
Shen Qing shook her head slowly, "I only saw her back, she was very cautious, covered her face with a white veil, and would not easily reveal her identity." I also heard the old demon of the black scorpion call her to be a mother, and I knew that she was a princess. ”
Niangniang?" "It's called Niangniang, it doesn't have to be the imperial concubine, what if her name is Niangniang?" Murong Lingfeng's thinking began to deviate again.
Murong Lingxue knocked her head to prevent her from making trouble, "No matter what, we will handle these things." The most important thing for you now is to take care of your body!" she called Sichen, "You go and pick three maids to take care of Shen Gongzi." ”
Murong Lingfeng checked Shen Qing again, she found that Shen Qing's body function was very good, and he recovered quickly, and the wounds that were stitched up yesterday had already scabbed over today, and he must be able to heal in less than a month. It's just that after a hundred days of injured muscles and bones, his skin injuries are easy to heal, but the three broken ribs have to grow slowly. The little boy told the three maids to take good care of him, and he must not be allowed to move, otherwise the bones will grow crooked, and he will be in trouble.
None of the people have left, Chu Jing has not been peaceful recently, and everyone has a lot of business. When Murong Lingfeng came out of the house after explaining clearly, there were only two people left in the courtyard, Yun Mo and Nangong Qingye. The two seemed to be talking about something, and seeing Murong Lingfeng coming out, Yun Mo hurriedly beckoned, "Feng'er, come here." ”
"What's wrong?" Murong Lingfeng walked over and sat down beside Yun Mo.
"That's right, today it's the eighth day of the seventh month. There are only a few days left before the fifteenth period of the imperial brother's release of Gu. I found a place according to what you said, and I want to take you to see if it can be used. "The Nine Princes explained their intentions.
Murong Lingfeng nodded, she was about to talk about it. Recently, I was so troubled by the poison of this inland river that I almost delayed the matter of Emperor Chu's Gu unraveling, but if you miss this seven and a half months, you will have to wait for another half a year. "When are we leaving?"
"That place is not far from the capital. You go and get ready, and we'll be gone in an hour. ”
That place was indeed very close to Chu Jing, and it took them more than two hours to arrive.
Murong Lingfeng sat on horseback and looked up at the majestic palace in front of him, gorgeous and elegant. At a glance, this place is not as splendid as the Panlong Palace, but there is a faint sense of low luxury. Murong Lingfeng's hand holding the reins tightened unconsciously, this kind of elegant luxury was very similar to the taste that their Murong family had always had. There is a stone plaque hanging on the palace gate, on which three big characters are carved out of the whole jade.
"Dusk Rain Palace?" Murong Lingfeng muttered, "This name is so novel, is it because it often rains here at night?" she asked the Nine Princes beside her.
Nangong Qingye shook his head, "It's just that the imperial brother found two words casually, don't care." ”
The palace door was opened from the inside, and a eunuch walked out with a dozen palace maids. Murong Lingfeng fixed his eyes and saw that the eunuch was Qi Rong beside Emperor Chu.
Qi Rong happily saluted the three of them, "The old slave has seen the Nine Princes, the Holy Princes, and the Little Prince. ”
Murong Lingfeng was very interested in this person, "Why do you smile so happily every time I see you? Are you really happy every day, or do you have a smile on your face all the year round, so that you can't make other expressions? You know, only laughing is also a kind of facial paralysis." ”
Qi Rong's smile really froze on his face, the so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, how could he laugh wrong one day. The corners of Qi Rong's mouth twitched a few times, "The little boy said that he laughed, and the slave was happy to see the little boy, so he kept laughing." If it were to face ordinary people, the old slave would not be so polite to them. "Although Qi Rong is only a eunuch, he has served by Emperor Chu all the year round, and he is the one who can really talk to Emperor Chu. Not to mention ordinary bureaucrats, even the princes and princes have to be polite when they meet him. As the saying goes, a companion is like a companion tiger, if someone blows the wind in the ears of the "tiger", then no one will have a hard time! Therefore, only others will please him, and Qi Rong will rarely please others. However, the three people in front of him are the heart and soul of Emperor Chu, Qi Rong, an old fox who has been in the palace for so many years, knows very well, not to mention that he loves Wu and Wu, and he also loves this little prince very much because of Emperor Chu.
Murong Lingfeng got off his horse and handed Mu Tangtang to the palace maid on the side. The three of them followed Qi Rong into the Dusk Rain Palace.
This palace is repaired very chic, small bridges and flowing water, mountains and rocks and waterfalls, the breeze is slow, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, just like an endless picture, every place will be ingenious, making people's eyes shine, relaxed and happy. "It's rare for Emperor Chu to have such an elegant and extraordinary taste, I thought his residence was like the dragon palace, I only knew that it was splendid and magnificent, but there was no trace of emotion. ”
Yun Mo laughed out loud when he heard this, "Panlong Hall is the dormitory of the kings of Southern Chu in the past dynasties, so it is natural to have the luxury of the royal family and the domineering spirit of the king. It was left by the ancestors, and it had nothing to do with the taste of the imperial uncle. ”
Murong Lingfeng was noncommittal about this, anyway, she didn't look down on Emperor Chu in her heart. In contrast, her relationship with the Nine Princes is getting better and better, although sometimes she is also awkward and petty with the Nine Princes, but that is all for her own people, just like she often spoils with Yun Mo. And Emperor Chu is still excluded from the circle by her so far.
Qi Rong took them to the back garden, there was actually a hill hidden in the yard, and in the innermost part of the mountain, there were large and small seven-eye hot springs. The water in the soup pool is milky white, and the white air is slowly bubbling in the air, like a fairyland on earth.
What Murong Lingfeng noticed was not these hot springs, but the stones scattered next to the hot spring pool, "This is medicinal jade!" Large pieces of medicinal jade, she had only seen them in the Nine Dead Valley and Murong Mansion, but she didn't expect this to be there. "The medicinal jade is invaluable, and Emperor Chu has really made a lot of money for this pool! However, it just so happens that it is very suitable to use the medicinal jade hot spring pool to pick up the Seven Star Gu!" Emperor Chu's whim, he didn't expect to save his life.
This place is both secluded and quiet, and there is a medicinal bath and hot spring pool, Murong Lingfeng is very satisfied with this, "Just this place." Let Emperor Chu solve the Gu here will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!"
The Ninth Prince led her around the whole courtyard again, and she found that there were a lot of medicinal materials planted here, although it was not necessarily precious, but it was better than many varieties, and Murong Lingfeng was very happy at a glance, "This courtyard is really good!"
"If you like it, after the Imperial Brother's Seven Star Gu is cleared, this garden will be given to you. The Nine Princes said lightly.
Murong Lingfeng smiled, "This garden is the palace of Emperor Chu, and the Nine Princes just give it away casually?" "I'm afraid I don't have this right!" Murong Lingfeng just thought that the Nine Princes coaxed her to be happy.
"Brother Huang even wants to give you Nan Chu, just a palace, is he better at accounting?" Nangong Qingye didn't just talk, "Besides, this garden was originally given to the Murong family, and it is natural for you to return it." ”
"To the Murong family?" Murong Lingfeng suddenly remembered the jade plaque on the palace gate - "Dusk Rain Palace", maybe what Emperor Chu really wanted was the three words "Muyu Palace". It seems that this is what Emperor Chu prepared for the head of the Murong family, no wonder she felt that this place and the Murong family felt like it from the moment she entered the door. It's a pity that from the day it was built, it was destined to have no owner. "If that's the case, then I'll take it!" The Ninth Prince is right, this is for her Murong family, and it is the same for everyone. Maybe I can bring my dad to see it in the future, maybe it will make my dad feel better.
The Nine Princes nodded. If Murong Yu can come and take a look, it can be regarded as this garden has completed its mission.
That night, the three of them stayed in the Twilight Palace. Murong Lingfeng personally instructed Qi Rong to prepare all the things she needed, and all the places she needed to transform were done.
At night, Murong Lingfeng and Yun Mo sat on Yaoyu next to the hot spring to watch Xixi, surrounded by clouds and mist, and the sky was full of stars, which was wonderful and intoxicating at the same time. Murong Lingfeng leaned on Yun Mo's shoulder, raised his head and counted the stars, counted the wrong ones and then came again, but he couldn't find which one to start with. "Do you think there will be shooting stars?"
"What, do you have a wish?" Yun Mo asked, holding her hand.
"Absolutely. Murong Lingfeng turned around and pointed behind him, "I just came from the lotus pond, and I saw that there are so big carp inside!
Yun Mo chuckled, sure enough, as he thought, this little guy's wish must be inseparable from eating, "Aren't you the least fond of eating fish?"
"That's because the fish is so fishy and prickly, of course I don't like it! But the squirrel fish is different, the spines are already fried, and the fishy smell is covered, and it is delicious." ”
Squirrel fish ......, "Isn't that what children eat?"
Murong Lingfeng got up and glared at him, "Are you saying that I haven't grown up yet?"
Yun Mo picked her up and walked back, "I mean you will always be a little baby in front of me." He leaned over and kissed her nose, "Eat squirrel fish tomorrow at noon!"
"Great! Then I'm going to get up again until noon tomorrow!" Murong Lingfeng hugged Yun Mo's neck and cheered, "Yun Momo, you are my shooting star!"
"Little glutton!"
It happened that the Ninth Prince was passing by, and when he saw the two children who were playing and walking away, the corners of his mouth curled slightly.
The next day, the little boy really waited until three poles in the sun to get up, and after washing, he ran to the dinner table, waiting for the squirrel fish in the cloud desert to be served.
The Ninth Prince was also drinking tea in the dining room, and when he saw the little boy coming, he asked, "After lunch, I'm going back." Are you going to go back to Chujing with me, or are you going to stay in this palace?"
"You want to go back to Chujing?" Murong Lingfeng simply sat down beside the Ninth Prince and tilted his head to look at him.
The Ninth Prince put down the tea bowl, "Yes, when the imperial brother leaves Beijing, there are many things that must be fully prepared. What's more, Chu Jing is not peaceful now, if it weren't for the fact that he had to solve the Gu on the fifteenth day of July, the imperial brother would never have left the capital at this time. ”
"Then let's go back together!" At this time, the little boy understood the righteousness. Of course, she may just feel too lonely and lonely to be alone in this huge palace. "I'll have to get some more medicine, too. Although there are a lot of medicinal herbs planted in this twilight rain palace, most of them have not been concocted, and it is inconvenient to use. ”
The Ninth Prince nodded, "Then let's go together." I'm not very relieved to leave the two of you here alone. "It's not that he's afraid that someone will hurt them, it's just that the two of them were intimate yesterday. If Yun Mo couldn't hold on for a while and did something that shouldn't happen, it would be terrible. After all, Murong Lingfeng was still too young, and the Nine Princes subconsciously wanted to protect her.
After lunch, the three of them went back to Chujing together. The Nine Princes and Yun Mo were going to report to Emperor Chu, but Yun Mo was afraid that the little prince would get lost when he went home, so he brought her into the palace. It happened that Yun Han and Murong Lingxue were also there, so Emperor Chu arranged the affairs of these few days.
"Lone will inform the two prime ministers that they will go to Weifu to go on patrol. The ninth brother, Han'er, Xue'er, and Qi Rong followed Lone, and we walked to Songyuan Mansion, where someone would continue to go south in the guise of us, and then we would return to the Dusk Rain Palace. He looked at Xiao Gongzi and Yun Mo, "Mo'er, you take Feng'er first and wait for us in the Dusk Rain Palace." Be sure to ensure Xiaofeng'er's safety. ”
Yun Mo took the order, "Uncle Huang rest assured. It's just that...... Uncle Huang and Uncle Jiu left Chujing at the same time, so wouldn't there be no one in the capital? And my eldest brother and I are not here, I'm afraid there will be no deterrent power. At that time, Chu Jing was a masterless city!" Yun Mo's worries were not unreasonable, since Emperor Chu ascended the throne, he and the Nine Princes had never left Chu Jing at the same time. No matter who the two of them are, they can convince the public, but it's hard to say if they change others.
"Aren't there still fathers and sixth uncles?" Yun Han reminded, "The two of them are not fuel-efficient lamps. ”
Yun Mo shook his head, "If you talk about leading troops to fight, of course my father is fine." But when it comes to fighting wits and courage with these treacherous and cunning old foxes in the court, he doesn't want to. My father has always been a tendon, and there is no virtuous helper who can give me some advice, so I'm afraid that I will mess up. Not to mention the sixth uncle, he has been idle for many years, has never entered the imperial court, and is also indifferent to the political affairs of the court, I am afraid that he can't even distinguish the hidden factions in the court now. "It's no problem to let the two of them defend the city with real swords, but it's really enough to let them engage in politics for a while.
Emperor Chu smiled, and sure enough, Yun Mo could see it clearly, "So, we invited the most cunning old fox back!"
The most cunning old fox?
At this time, Qi Rong walked in with a token and presented it to Emperor Chu. Emperor Chu smiled when he saw it, "This person really can't help but chatter, just when he talked about him, he arrived." Xuan!"
Qi Rong withdrew from the door, "King Xuanqing is here!"
Yun Mo and Yun Han suddenly realized that they had found him back, so there was nothing to worry about.
The little boy couldn't hear it, so she leaned into Yun Mo's ear and asked, "Who is King Qing?"
"The second prince, Nangong Jun, is my second uncle. Yun Mo patted Murong Lingfeng's chair and couldn't help but remind, "Second Uncle is a ruthless character. He has no room for sand in his eyes. Besides, he doesn't have much friendship with your father Murong Yu, and he won't be so generous to you as Uncle Huang and Uncle Jiu, and he won't care about you! Don't provoke him, you'd better go around him when I'm away!"
Murong Lingfeng touched his nose disappreciatively, is it so exaggerated? Besides, "When did I provoke others at will?" The creed of the young master has always been that people don't offend me, I don't offend people. ”
Everyone's eyes were focused on her, the first time they met, they were going to ruin the appearance of the Nine Princes and scold Emperor Chu as worthless, wasn't she?
Murong Lingxue, who was sitting next to her, also heard it, she had heard of this King Qing. There is a precedent for Yun Mo's practice of traveling around the world, and it is rumored that the second prince is also a general, but after he helped Emperor Chu win the throne, he invited himself to leave Beijing and traveled all over the world. Unless something big happens in the capital, the second prince will never come back. In the past few decades, he has returned to Beijing only a handful of times. It is also rumored that the reason why he did this was because of the estrangement between him and Emperor Chu, but now it seems that the relationship between the two is quite deep, otherwise Emperor Chu would not have given him the base camp with confidence.
"I haven't come back for so many years, this Dragon Hall is still so vulgar!" The voice fell, and King Qing walked in under the leadership of Qi Rong. He was dressed in a beige robe, which added elegance to his tall and burly body. The jade fracture fan he held in his hand also made him a little more bookish. He smiled at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, and people were inadvertently taken away by his charm, but he voluntarily sank and couldn't extricate himself. Four words are the best way to describe him - like a spring breeze.
When he saw this person's face clearly, Murong Lingfeng's face was full of surprise, and even the tea bowl in his hand was shattered on the ground. She stood up suddenly, her eyes revealing disbelief, more grievances and longing. Two tears fell from her eyes, and the little boy called softly, "Daddy." ”
