Chapter 53: Wit
The person who escorted the New Year to Guan County this time was the steward of the Outer Courtyard of the Pingwang Mansion, surnamed Lin and named Gao Shi.
The palace is very important, and this position is very good to say, but it is not good to say that it is bad. The department is responsible for internal and external liaison, and there is a great demand for personnel, and if you do a good job, you can enter the eyes of the master and be the master's henchman.
Lin Gaoshi is not good or bad, he has not been stepped on, and he has not been able to climb up.
The palace hangs the brand of King Ping, but King Ping is at the border all year round, it is rare to come back, and people want to show loyalty and can't stick to people, and there are two ready-made masters in the house.
One is the step-concubine, the stepwife of King Xianping, and the stepmother of King Xianping; One is the second son, who succeeded the concubine and the younger brother of King Ping. The subordinates who couldn't work the prince and didn't want to waste their time used their strength on these two.
Lin Gaoshi was clever enough, but he didn't want to get in the way of the eyes of the chief steward who was pressing on it, and he also had some side thoughts. Following the concubine and the second son, this Ping Wangfu is also a Ping Wang brand, the prince is mighty and powerful, once he returns, these two must not be opponents, if there is a chance, of course he wants to hug the golden thigh of King Ping!
He is still young, he will only be thirty, as long as he can wait for the opportunity, it is not a dream to rise again!
So he was not remembered by the masters, doing some trivial work all day long, and even being sent to give New Year's gifts to the prince's fiancée, which no one wanted to touch, and then he thought that he was tired again, but he really didn't expect that God would finally favor him!
He met the prince!
The prince actually went to Guan County to see his daughter-in-law!
No wonder there was a beautiful guard who took the prince's token and asked him to wait for the order to send it here, it turned out that the prince wanted to make his daughter-in-law happy......
Lin Gaoshi knelt down, his mind spinning rapidly. It is said that the prince doesn't like this fiancée, and sooner or later he will withdraw from his family, now look at ...... It's not like it at all!
Stupid man...... The house is full of stupid people!
How majestic and majestic the prince is, how can they be guessed by the laymen!
Lin Gaoshi was frightened and scared for a while, excited for a while, and quickly made up his mind in his heart, follow the prince, and the future princess's thighs should also be hugged!
Just thinking about it, my arm was numb and I was hit by a stone.
Lin Gaoshi subconsciously looked at the direction where the stone came from, and saw that the beautiful guard who had previously held the prince's token and ordered him to delay the New Year's gift was lying on the wall, killing chickens and wiping his neck.
At this time, he had already knelt on the ground and was about to kowtow, and most of the words in his mouth had already come out.
In the end, after many years of crawling in the palace, the basic vigilance is enough, Xing Zuo's gesture immediately made Lin Gaoshi feel wrong, and realized that it might be dangerous after saying this!
Xing Zuo pointed at Zhao Zhu, pulled the clothes on his body, and motioned to Lin Gaoshi to look at the prince's clothes; pointed to himself and pointed to the position next to Zhao Zhu, indicating that he could not go over, but could only guard from afar; Pointing to the people in the courtyard again, let Lin Gaoshi see clearly, no one in it knelt on the prince, to be exact, no one had awe of the prince on his face, and it would not be like this under normal circumstances, so the prince is not normal now...... No, it's the prince who hasn't revealed his identity now, no one knows, you want to talk nonsense and ruin the prince's affairs, a dead end!
Xing Zuo gestured, and cried with a sad face and Hong You: "Do you want to keep the whereabouts of the prince secret, I didn't tell him that the prince was here when I came into contact with this idiot, and I didn't say that I was the prince's personal guard, he was going to break the prince's affairs and be given death, and I couldn't escape......" Don't be too abusive."
Hong You touched his head, "Fools can't live in the palace, don't worry." ”
Xing Zuo's expression was terrifying, "I'm even more scared when you say that......"
Lin Gaoshi subconsciously lengthened his voice to buy time, "Small...... Ever seen...... The prince ...... "While talking, he thought about what the guard meant, his forehead was dripping with sweat and his back was wet, his eyes were about to fly out, and he didn't come up with one, two, three."
Lin Gaoshi thought that if he couldn't do it, he would die, anyway, the slave was to be loyal to his master, and finally decided to take a bold look at Zhao Zhu. God is pitiful, although he has the ambition to climb up and become a master, he doesn't dare to look at the prince with his eyes!
This sight is too scary and shocking. As if he had walked around hell, Lin Gaoshi felt as if he had been given a long time by the prince, and his gaze was not only full of murderous intent, but he wanted to crush him to ashes!
And it seems to be warning something......
Somehow, suddenly, Lin Gaoshi suddenly understood the meaning of this look and Xing Zuo's gesture at the moment of life and death, his body tensed up, and his voice turned stiffly, "The little one has seen the prince - his fiancée, Her Royal Highness Princess Lu!" ”
When the words fell, Lin Gaoshi felt that the prince's gaze changed instantly, not only did he lose his killing intent, but he also seemed to nod his head slightly in approval......
He pinched his palms fiercely, and shouted in his heart that his mother, his mother really let him be right! Hugging your thighs has a spectrum, you must worship the Bodhisattva when you go back today!
Xing Zuo, who was at the head of the wall in the distance, also softened his body and lay on the wall, "Save your life......"
Lu Li was not lightly frightened, and said in his heart Why is this palace steward so strange, he suddenly made a big salute when he came up, and he was shocked when he spoke.
Feng Shi was also shocked in his heart, when did Lu Li have such a weight in the Pingwang Mansion, and the steward who escorted the New Year's gift asked to meet him before he was willing to give a salute, and when he saw it, he actually made a big salute directly, and called him so respectful? Was there something going on that she didn't know about? But the concubine didn't say anything......
She quietly glanced around, and stepped back a little, ready to take a look.
"You...... Get up first. Lu Li has never dealt with such a situation, I don't know how I look natural, I think I haven't seen any templates before, so I just casually, "You are the palace steward, responsible for escorting this palace New Year's gift?" Wangfuli...... How so? ”
"Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess—" Lin Gaoshi stood up and replied with a solemn hand.
"Just call me Mr. Lu." The princess or something is still forgotten, just listening to it can give you goosebumps. Besides, this title is very far from him, okay! He didn't get married, he remembered that he didn't marry the king of peace! There was a bit of gnashing of teeth in Lu Li's voice.
Lin Gaoshi actually didn't know how to answer this question, the concubine didn't say anything when she came, and she said it was the same as in previous years, he thought it was just a routine, easy and simple, but he didn't know that he saw the prince here!
The princess didn't seem to understand anything, and she looked a little unhappy......
How will he answer? Lin Gaoshi peeked at Prince Ping.
At the moment when Lin Gaoshi finished speaking, Zhao Shu didn't look at him anymore, and his eyes stuck back to Lu Li, with a noble and indifferent expression, as if the outside world had nothing to do with him.
Lin Gaoshi: ......
The prince is really as cruel as rumored. He turned his gaze to the guards who were leaning on the wall in the distance.
Xing Zuo pulled Hong's right head very low, and he couldn't see it at all if he didn't pay attention, just kidding, how good it was to be discovered!
Lin Gaoshi could hardly find anyone so far away, and it was even more impossible to get a hint.
He felt that he had faced the greatest test of his life.
"The little Lin Gaoshi, is the manager of the palace outside the courtyard, this time in accordance with the order of the palace, escorted the New Year's gift, due to the occasional accident of the road conditions delayed the trip, today arrived, hereby ask for guilt, please Lu Gongzi punished."
Lin Gaoshi pondered and spoke, he didn't dare to say that the New Year's ceremony was stopped by the prince and didn't arrive in time, and he wanted to kneel again while pleading guilty.
"Lin Steward doesn't have to be like this." Lu Li's hand was weak, and Zhao Shu also looked at it like electricity, Lin Gaoshi didn't dare to kneel, hurry up, don't make the princess unhappy.
Seeing that the princess was calmly waiting for him to reply, he didn't dare to delay, thinking that the princess was here anyway, it seemed that he valued the princess very much, and it was definitely right to say more good things about the princess, so he cleared his throat, "The prince is busy with business, and he has not had the opportunity to come to visit Lu Gongzi for many years. Although the New Year's ceremony is a little late, many objects, such as amber from Yunnan, treasure jade from Dadian, agarwood from Yongzhou, raccoon skin from Kaiping, and gold and jade shellfish, are all ordered by the prince himself, and the prince has a heart for his son...... The little one is here to congratulate the son, a good life can be expected. ”
What does a good day mean? Is it the day of getting married? Will King Ping come in person!
After these suggestive words were spoken, everyone on the field had different expressions.
Liu Wenli almost screamed, this is impossible! Obviously, no matter how you look at the prince, you have to withdraw from your family! She looked at her mother for the first time.
Feng Shi didn't have time to pay attention to her, and almost stayed where he was, what was going on? Isn't it that King Ping has always resisted this family affair and wants to withdraw from his family, so the concubine can make sure that he wants to respond to King Ping or fight King Ping, why is King Ping suddenly interested in Lu Li!
The Liu family members present didn't dare to raise their heads one by one, their faces were full of shock, is this Young Master Lu going to take up? How should I deal with it in the future?
Zhao Zhu was a little satisfied, this subordinate was quite clever. After seeing Lu Li, he felt that he was indeed a little sorry to make up for it before, but he missed this New Year's gift, and he wanted to find another opportunity in the future, but this person knew the round, which was very good.
Even Xing Zuo boldly popped out of the wall again, "What a boldness!" ”
Hong You pressed his head down, "The prince won't blame." ”
Everyone was a little surprised, but no one thought it was wrong or good, and the only one who was greatly frightened was Lu Li himself.
His frightened eyes straightened, did this King Ping really have an idea or did he have another conspiracy! Don't, how can you quit your family like this!
He is really afraid, the royal power and nobility in feudal society, none of them can be understood and provoked by him, how can his life, with a healthy body and lofty ideals, be folded on such a person!
His lips were bitten and blood was broken, his body trembled slightly, his knuckles were pale and his face was frightened, and Lu Li couldn't breathe.
Zhao Shu was frightened when he saw that the little guy was scared, and his cold eyes immediately glared at Lin Gaoshi.
Lin Gaoshi's body shook, he was wrong again? Horse's fart slapped on the horse's leg?
His eyes drifted subconsciously, and he noticed once again that the delicate guards on the wall had given him a gesture again.
