Chapter 205: Plain White Crescent
He Fengzhai's shopkeeper hurriedly thanked Liang Cheng in a low voice, which made her stunned. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
She didn't say those words just now to relieve the shopkeeper, Liang Cheng just felt that the picture of Princess Changping and Tang Menglan standing for tat on the corridor was really inappropriate.
After all, if the two of them don't leave and keep standing outside the door to "talk happily", then won't she have to stand there all the time and become a good show in the eyes of others?
And the fluttering curtains in the surrounding private room, as well as the atmosphere on the first floor that gradually quieted down, made Liang Cheng really dislike, so she had to speak.
Originally, he didn't want to relieve the siege of the shopkeeper at all, so Liang Cheng shook his head at the shopkeeper, signaling that he didn't have to, and then entered the house, and the double long wooden door of the jasper prismatic flowers was immediately closed again, surrounded by the Liang family guards, the forbidden army and the deacons of the British Prince's Mansion.
And after Liang Cheng and the three of them entered the house, the curtains of the surrounding private rooms really stopped trembling, and the first floor gradually became noisy again, and in the deepest private room on the second floor, the silence that had been going on since Tang Menglan came up finally dissipated.
"It's been a lively day. ”
In front of the bamboo curtain on the first floor, a young man in brocade clothes was leaning crookedly on the black lacquer ivory carved begonia chair with no sitting posture or standing, facing the young man wearing a white crescent robe embroidered with gold thread opposite him, and said with a toothy smile: "Chu Gu, your golden branch is really powerful." ”
Chu Gu looked at the first floor without the slightest change in his gaze, just curled the corners of his mouth, and said, "If you still have the leisure to care about others, why don't I send you some more errands?"
"Uh, don't!" Xu Zhao hurriedly sat up straight, shook his head again and again, and said: "I've been so busy lately that I'm almost exhausted, Your Majesty has fallen ill again, and there are countless people in the palace who come to visit the sick every day, I'm tired enough just to stop those women, don't you want me to follow that cunning boy again, I don't have the energy to deal with him anymore." ”
Xu Zhao begged Chu Gu for mercy, and after Chu Gu glanced at him with a smile, he didn't say anything more, Xu Zhao also let out a long breath because of this, and then hung up again, "Eh, you say, why did Princess Changping and the little overlord of the Tang family come?"
Xu Zhao originally wanted to ask Liang Yuan, but after thinking about it, he should not talk too much, otherwise Chu Guzhen would send him to spy on the stinky boy of the winning king?
"Changping is probably here for Qi Jiu. ”
Qi Jiu is to win the prince of the king, Chu Gu's words are not light, but Xu Zhao almost spit out the green snow that he had just drunk again, "You, what are you talking about? Princess Changping came to win the prince of Wang?"
Xu Zhao was surprised, but Chu Gu still said with a smile: "Oh, if I guessed correctly, then Changping is indeed here for Qi Jiu, and she also asked me about Qi Jiu's whereabouts several times yesterday, and asked me if I heard any news when I left the palace." ”
"How could this be, when did Princess Changping get involved with the prince of Yingwang, how come I have never heard of any intersection between the two of them?" Xu Zhao's voice sounded like a sense of anxiety at this time.
But Chu Gu still didn't look at him, just focused his gaze in the direction of the first floor, "I don't know when they started to implicate them, but the intersection of Changping and Qi Jiu, that's still a lot." ”
Qi Jiu is the son of King Win, but he is not the bloodline of King Win, King Win has never had children and no daughters, which is not a secret in Jian'an, and Emperor Wen did not think about inheriting a child from the clan to inherit the incense from this cousin before Qi Jiu, but he was rejected by King Win until Qi Jiu appeared.
Qi Jiu's biological father is a personal guard under King Win, and he has grown up with King Ying since he was a child, and his feelings are extremely deep. Since the king of the winning dynasty inherited the lord, he has inherited the bloodline of the military generals of the king of win, and he has always been fighting in the east and the west, and Qi Jiu's biological father has also conquered the Quartet with the king of win, and he does not know how many times he has protected the life and death of the king of win among thousands of troops and horses.
And this kind of relationship along the way in the beacon fire naturally makes King Ying and Qi Jiu's biological father feel like brothers, so it is not so strange that in the future, when Qi Jiu's biological father was about to die in Huangquan in order to save King Ying, it is not so strange.
Subsequently, King Ying naturally adopted Qi Jiu, who had become an orphan, and soon after he played it on a piece of paper, hoping to record Qi Jiu's name on the jade plate of the royal Qi family, at first Emperor Wen did not agree, after all, Qi Jiu is not the Qi family after all.
But under the special circumstances of King Win's great contribution to Xiyin, as well as King Win's own special circumstances, Emperor Wen finally agreed, and Qi Jiu's name was naturally written on the Qi family jade plate of King Win when he was three years old, and he really became the son of King Win and the only heir of the vassal lord of King Win's lineage.
Qi Jiu's special case, at that time, there were many people who were envious of Xiyin, and in Jian'an, there were many people up and down who commented on Qi Jiu who ascended to the sky in one step, with mixed reviews.
Among them, the vast majority of people are not optimistic about Qi Jiu, but the vast majority of people have become more and more self-defeating as Qi Jiu grows up day by day.
Because although today's Qi Jiu is not a brilliant person, he followed the winning king Rongma battlefield at the age of sixteen, and at the age of seventeen, he led the army alone into the deep mountains and old forests to suppress the bandits and the people, and today at the age of eighteen, when the Manchu generals were afraid to speak, he directly asked Emperor Wen for help, and was willing to go to the northeast to stick to the Xiyin border and fight to the death with Hou Shu.
Perhaps, Qi Jiu is not very outstanding in Jian'an, which has never lacked peerless elegance, but he has never insulted the reputation of winning the king, and he may be a hot-tempered, impulsive and lawless young man in the eyes of outsiders. But in the eyes of Emperor Wen, Qi Jiu is also a young general with a pure heart and a heroic spirit.
Emperor Wen is very optimistic about Qi Jiu, so as long as Qi Jiu is in Beijing, he will definitely be summoned into the palace by Emperor Wen, so the intersection between him and Princess Changping, after so many years, can not be more.
Chu Gu was not surprised by this, but Xu Zhao was sitting there with a strange expression, and Chu Gu finally turned his head and looked at him at this time, and said, "Your expression is a little strange." ”
Xu Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then returned to the appearance of a hippie smile, and said: "I have nothing strange, but I was a little surprised by the fact that Princess Changping and the cunning boy would be implicated." ”
"What are you surprised about?"
Xu Zhao was choked by Chu Gu's words again, and only said after a long time: "I'm just surprised that the two of them will know each other, what's so strange about this? Originally, Princess Changping lives in the palace all year round, and she doesn't like to leave the palace." And the prince of the winning king is a person who has not been in Jian'an for many years, even if he comes back once a year, it is also a person who runs around to hunt, is it strange that there will be an implication between them, right?"
"Oh, it seems to be true, according to you. After Chu Gu glanced at Xu Zhao again, he moved his gaze back, but just when Xu Zhao was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Chu Gu said slowly, "You didn't think about anything, naturally it's the best." ”
Xu Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then immediately looked at Chu Gumen with a blushing face and a thick neck, but Chu Gu ignored him, and let Xu Zhao be behind him, glaring at him with that expression of wanting to strangle him.
The room was quiet for a while, Xu Zhao wanted to say something but didn't know what to say and glared at Chu Gu angrily, and Chu Gu was intently looking at the direction of the first floor, time passed very slowly at this time, but even so, after the time leakage became less and less, Chu Gu finally shook his head gently, and then got up and stood up.
"Let's go. Chu Gu looked at Xu Zhao, who was still there and glared at him with bared teeth, and said.
"What are you going, isn't that kid here yet?" Xu Zhao was stunned, and some couldn't react What does Chu Gu mean by this, although they came very early, even before Liang Ming, and they have already waited long enough, but now it is just Shen Shi, and the hour is still early.
"It is estimated that Qi Jiu will not come today. Chu Gu didn't say much, and walked to the door after leaving such a sentence.
"Why, according to the news we got, hasn't the prince of Ying Wang already taken a fancy to a treasure in Hefengzhai, he should come over to buy it, don't we miss it when we leave at this time?"
Xu Zhao was puzzled to keep up with Chu Gu's footsteps, after they stepped out of the wing, there were only two ordinary dressed little guys outside, Chu Gu nodded at them, and then said to Xu Zhao behind him: "Qi Jiu has arrived in Beijing in the morning, but he hasn't come over yet, even if something is really stumbling, then he can also let his family come and pick it up, but there is still no news, it seems that something has changed." ”
Chu Gu was talking to Xu Zhao on the one hand, and on the other hand, he followed the two little guys in front of him and walked out, but the path they left was different from that of Liang Cheng and Princess Changping and others.
After a few turns, Chu Gu and the others disappeared on the corridor on the second floor, and there were some dead ends, which were the directions that the entire private room on the second floor could not see from the window gap, so Chu Gu and Xu Zhao disappeared on the second floor like this.
And from beginning to end. Liang Cheng didn't know that the person she had been waiting for for nearly a day had actually been in the vicinity of her all the time. But now, she can only watch extremely helplessly as the two enemies in front of her are endlessly mocking each other.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Changping really has a heart, she actually worked tirelessly to come from the palace, this heart is really touching, but I don't know if others will receive it, if it is self-defeating unrequited love in the end, then what should I do. ”
"I really care about Miss Lao Tang, I'm just choosing a birthday gift for my friends, this hard work is nothing, but it's Miss Tang, I don't know who I'm waiting for. ”
"Her Royal Highness the princess said with a smile, there have always been only others waiting for me, how can I wait for others? I am here today to attend an appointment, which is very different from Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”
"Oh, it turns out that Miss Tang is here to make an appointment? Then don't you hurry up and find the person who has an appointment somewhere, but what are you doing here, so bothering Miss Liang San, Miss Tang is afraid that it is too undeserved. ”
"Her Royal Highness the princess really likes to joke, since you have said that this is Miss Liang San's private room, the third lady has not spoken yet, how can it be the turn of some irrelevant people to make a big deal about it here. You say yes, Her Royal Highness Princess Changping. ”
Princess Changping and Tang Menglan are happily mocking each other, and Liang Cheng on the side is extremely speechless, she really wants the two of them to go back to their private room to quarrel if they want to quarrel, there is no need to stay here and quarrel with her.
But I think so, but this can't be said after all, even if it is the Zhendong General's Mansion, if you offend Emperor Wen and King Ying all of a sudden, the consequences will not be light.
Even if this can be attributed to the quarrels of children, adults don't have to take it seriously or anything, but how many can really do this? Anyway, Liang Cheng knows that Emperor Wen and King Ying can't do it.
Among them, it goes without saying that His Royal Highness the King of England, who has always been particularly fond of the Tang family, the little overlord, just talk about Emperor Wen, now that he has gathered Shen Yunchong, he has some sense of precaution against the Shen family.
Just after returning from the British Palace, Liang Cheng knew that Emperor Wen had revealed a little meaning to the British King, wanting Shen Yunchong to take root in Yanmeng City, and letting him get a piece of the extremely profitable maritime trade.
Emperor Wen's meaning was to reduce the excessive dependence of the Xiyin treasury on the salt merchants led by the Shen family's salt, such an obvious intention, even Liang Cheng had already seen it, so it is not difficult to guess what kind of dissatisfaction Emperor Wen had with the Shen family.
Liang Cheng is not very strange about this, although Emperor Wen can already be called Emperor Mingjun Xian, and his mind can be regarded as extremely broad, but in the Shen Jiayan, a million-dollar billionaire, has been wandering under his nose for many years, but he can't touch the constraints that can't be hurt, Emperor Wen can only make a clear move at this time, Liang Cheng already feels that it is very rare.
After all, in the history that Liang Cheng knew, there were not a few emperors in Xiyin who were greedy for the wealth of the Shen family, although the results were not very good in the end, but under the temptation of such huge interests, the successors of the successive servants have never been cut off.
Emperor Wen was able to make a move at this time, and Liang Cheng really felt that it was very rare.
And this is even more indifferent to the Shen family, who has never had hope for any one at all, in this troubled era, no matter who must rely on one side to develop in order to continue to grow, it is helpless.
But since the choice is made, how to better create the most suitable environment for their own development in this small world is what the Shen family has been working hard for.
Old Madam Shen is no stranger to this, and the Shen family, who has been taught like this since childhood, knows even more about it, so Liang Cheng knows that the Shen family has already had a way to deal with Emperor Wen's previous behavior, and if it weren't for Emperor Wen's sudden fall and Shen Yunchong was also trapped in the palace, then the economic war between the two sides would probably have started at this time.
Although Emperor Wen thought very beautifully, in fact, people are still not as good as heaven, and at this time, although Emperor Wen has fallen ill again, it is not in a state of consciousness, and Liang Cheng does not dare to underestimate Princess Changping too much.
On the cusp of the current situation, Liang Cheng is naturally unwilling to add any more rights and wrongs to her grandfather, father, and mother.
Looking up at Princess Changping and Tang Menglan, who were still enjoying themselves, Liang Cheng really regretted her completely reckless behavior today, she knew that Chu Gu couldn't wait, but waited for these two evil stars, then she would not be able to step out of the door no matter what.
"Tang Menglan, don't go too far. ”
"Changping, I will return this sentence to you as it is, you don't have to move some thoughts that shouldn't be moved, I will never let you take out the holy decree to force others to do things you don't want to do. ”
When Liang Cheng sighed again in her heart just now, Princess Changping and Tang Menglan suddenly stood up, looking at each other angrily with delicate eyes, and did not let a step of stalemate, which made Liang Cheng raise her eyebrows in shock.
What's wrong with this? Wasn't it okay just now, why didn't you hide the knife in your smile in a blink of an eye, but instead turned into a real knife and a real gun, whose tail is this stepping on?
Liang Cheng looked at Princess Changping and Tang Menglan who did not give in to each other in surprise, and tried to recall what the two of them said just now, although they had been arguing for a while, but Liang Cheng just let them go in and out of the left ear and out of the right ear, and didn't listen to it at all.
At this time, when I thought about it carefully, I suddenly realized that there seemed to be something wrong, as if since the beginning, Princess Changping and Tang Menglan were talking about whom, and they had been arguing over this.
Especially just now, Tang Menglan seemed to have said that let Princess Changping do less thoughts that shouldn't be moved, she would never let Princess Changping take out the holy decree to force others to do things that she didn't want to do?
What is this talking about, what kind of holy decree will Princess Changping come up with, and who will be forced to do what she doesn't want to do? Tang Menglan's words are really easy for people to think of other places, could it be that Princess Changping has taken a fancy to someone, so she wants Emperor Wen to give a decree to give marriage?
Liang Cheng looked up at Princess Changping, who was sneering at Tang Menglan, and thought to herself: Sure enough, Princess Changping left the palace this time, not to choose any birthday gifts for Zhong Qing at all, she came to Hefengzhai to wait for someone.
Moreover, the person Princess Changping is waiting for is very likely to be her intended person.
When Liang Cheng thought of this, she felt a little bored, she was not interested in other people's private affairs, especially Princess Changping's, so Liang Cheng planned to speak out to alleviate the current stalemate, after all, no matter what she thought in her heart, she still had to be perfunctory. But just as Liang Cheng was about to speak, Yu Guang saw Tang Menglan on the side, who was also cold between his eyebrows and eyes.
In an instant, Liang Cheng was stunned again, what is going on, it can't be such a coincidence, Princess Changping took a fancy to the person she liked, and it happened to be the Ruyi Langjun chosen by Tang Menglan? This is too much of a coincidence.
Liang Cheng was surprised in her heart, but Princess Changping and Tang Menglan didn't have time to find Liang Cheng's astonishment at this time, they were still glaring at each other angrily on both sides of the round table, and Princess Changping sneered: "Miss Tang is really careful, besides, even if I really do this, what can you do?"
Tang Menglan froze for a moment, and then shouted loudly: "Changping, don't be too shameless. ”
Princess Changping calmed down at this time, she looked at Tang Menglan and said with a smile: "I really accept your auspicious words, since I have been said to be a shameless person, then not letting my father make a holy decree with me, it is really in vain to give me these two words you gave me." ”
"Changping, you are less proud. Tang Menglan was so angry, but suddenly he laughed angrily and said: "I'm afraid that you are self-inflicted, not to mention whether people are willing to be your concubine, just say that your handful of amazingly rotten Danqing skills, I'm afraid that you can't even pass the level of other people's parents, and when his parents don't agree to this family business, can it be that you can still hold their heads and agree? Ah, I forgot, you are Her Royal Highness Princess Changping, who is loved by thousands of people, so what will you not dare to, Your Highness, am I right?"
There was a crackling sound, and suddenly there was an earth-shattering sound.
The guards and maids outside the private room of Liang Cheng and the three of them were all shocked, but then the continuous noise from inside made everyone who was about to break the door just now breathe a sigh of relief, and then stood back with a straight face.
In the room at this time, after Princess Changping swept off a table of precious porcelain, she pointed at Tang Menglan's nose and began to scold, no longer speaking softly like the previous cynicism.
But Tang Menglan is not the master who is bullied, this little bully of the Tang family naturally scolded him back with an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, and the private room was suddenly very lively.
Only except for Liang Cheng.
Liang Cheng looked at the other side with some distraction at this time, the pile of broken porcelain that was swept down by Princess Changping and was slightly distracted, she listened to what Tang Menglan said just now, especially the sentence "Just say that your hand is amazingly rotten Danqing skills, I'm afraid you can't even pass the level of other people's parents", Liang Cheng heard it clearly and word for word.
It turns out that the person who can make Princess Changping and Tang Menglan fall in love with him is Qi Jiu, the son of King Ying, no wonder these two people will come to Hefengzhai one after the other today, it turns out that they are the same as her, knowing that Princess Win loves Danqing, so she came here early in the morning to wait for the rabbit.
