Chapter 108: The Palace
Rong Chenghan left Liufu and went straight back to Yongjing Palace. When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Rong Chenghan turned over and dismounted, and threw the reins of the horse to the accompanying servants. The steward had already led someone out of the house gate.
"The third master is back!" The steward of the palace stepped forward and saluted, and welcomed Rong Chenghan into the mansion with a smile on his face.
Yongjing Palace, Rong Chenghan brothers, except for the eldest son of King Yongjing, who is called Shiziye, the others are only called according to the name of the noble family. Rong Chenghan is the third in line, so he is called the third master.
"Has the prince returned?" Rong Chenghan didn't look at the steward, and walked inside, asking as he went.
"If you go back to the third master, the prince didn't come back. The messenger came back and said that he would not be back until a little later. The steward replied with a smile.
"Oh." Rong Chenghan nodded, and at this time he had already walked to a hanging flower door, and couldn't help but pause. He had just come back from the court, and the prince of Yongjing was not there, so before he returned to his Yunshui residence, he should go to Chunhui Hall and say hello to the princess.
"Third master, the seventh girl is here." The steward's observation of the words and expressions of the person said.
"Oh?" Rong Chenghan seemed to be stunned for a moment, and turned his eyes to look at the steward.
"I just came, I was in Chunhui Hall, talking with the princess. The princess passed down the word and asked the third master to come back, so she went over. "The stewards are in charge.
"Hmm." Rong Chenghan nodded, and walked towards Chunhui Hall.
Before entering the house, under the steps, through the curtain, Rong Chenghan heard the laughter coming from the house. His footsteps couldn't help but pause slightly. At this time, the little girl who had been waiting for her reported to the princess that the third master was back.
"Let him in." The words of Princess Yongjing came from the house.
Rong Chenghan no longer hesitated and stepped up the steps. The little girls scrambled to open the curtains first, and Rong Chenghan stepped into the house.
Princess Su of Yongjing was wearing homely clothes and was sitting on the chaise longue, her eyes full of smiles. Next to Princess Yongjing, sat a beauty wrapped in a lero. The beauty didn't know what she was saying. Princess Yongjing was very happy. Seeing Rong Chenghan coming, this beauty sighed, stood up, held a skirt in one hand, stepped down from the chaise longue, and ran to Rong Chenghan in small steps.
There was still a step away from Rong Chenghan, this beauty seemed to think of something, and suddenly stopped, covered her mouth with a handkerchief in one hand, and looked at Rong Chenghan and smiled.
"Stunned to do something. I haven't seen your seventh sister yet. Princess Yongjing smiled.
"It's my salute to the third brother." The beauty said, shook the silk handkerchief in her hand, and bowed down, "Third brother, I can see you." ”
"Seventh sister." Rong Chenghan returned the salute.
"Come and sit down." Princess Yongjing greeted with a smile.
Su Qingnuan chuckled, twisted her waist, and with a fragrant breeze, she ran back to Princess Yongjing in small steps, still next to the princess. I sat on the chaise longue. Rong Chenghan touched his nose, coughed dryly, walked to the chair under the couch and sat down, still sitting on a chair a few chairs away from the chaise longue. It seems that he has a soft spot for this chair.
"Your sister is here, and you can't speak." Princess Yongjing looked at Rong Chenghan with a smile and said complainingly.
"Ahem......" Rong Chenghan coughed again and sat on the chair. His gaze slowly shifted from Princess Yongjing to Su Qingnuan.
“…… At my grandmother's house, I heard that the third brother was back, and I deliberately called my grandmother. before they let me back. I walked on the road for three days, and I hurried to hurry. I finally met the third brother today. Su Qingnuan's voice was delicate, and she glanced at Rong Chenghan quickly, "The third brother is still the same as before." ”
"Where is the same, look at his full beard, thanks to your child who is not disgusted, he is not frightened." Princess Yongjing said this, secretly looked at Rong Chenghan, and saw that Rong Chenghan's face was not different, so she continued, "I told him, but he didn't listen." ”
"The third brother's beard is very powerful!" Su Qingnuan said.
"You kid, you just have a good heart." Princess Yongjing laughed.
"Your seventh sister came back from your grandmother's house to see you, you look at you, just sit and don't speak." Princess Yongjing complained about Rong Chenghan again.
Su Qingnuan quickly glanced at Rong Chenghan from the corner of her eye, and smiled to relieve Rong Chenghan.
"The third brother has been like this since he was a child, and he treats me very well in his heart, but he can't say it. My mother said that this is the rarest thing. Su Qingnuan said this, her face was slightly red, "Third brother, I was at my grandmother's house, and I heard many stories about you killing enemies on the front line, and I was happy and worried about you when I heard it." Third brother, when will you tell me more, okay? ”
Su Qingnuan's big eyes stared at Rong Chenghan, as if she was full of affection, and her face was full of expectation.
In the face of such a young girl, such a request, almost no man would refuse. But Rong Chenghan didn't know what he was thinking, as if he hadn't heard Su Qingnuan's words, he didn't respond for a long time.
Princess Yongjing coughed dryly.
"Qingnuan said well, I want to hear that, too. Wait for a while, let's pick a free time and let him talk about it. Princess Yongjing said, glancing at Rong Chenghan.
“…… It's not good. Rong Chenghan actually said. Obviously, he heard the words of Su Qingnuan and Princess Yongjing.
Rong Chenghan is like this, and Princess Yongjing is very helpless. Fortunately, Su Qingnuan was very empathetic, and seemed to be used to Rong Chenghan's appearance, and did not show the slightest embarrassment, and was still full of enthusiasm. Princess Yongjing and Su Qingnuan talked, and occasionally talked about Rong Chenghan, Rong Chenghan also responded and should not.
"Your third brother has been in Haizhou Wei all these years, and he has gotten along with those rough soldiers, and he is becoming less and less able to speak. That is, you, if it is someone else, I am afraid that you will blame him for not knowing etiquette. Princess Yongjing said to Su Qingnuan again.
"That's those people who don't know Taishan, but I know that the third brother is the best." In the tone, with the shyness of a little girl, it seems to be a kind of worship for the big brother, but there is a little bit of something else mixed in it.
Rong Chenghan sat for a while, then got up to say goodbye to Princess Yongjing.
"It's time for my father to come back, and tell my father that something is wrong."
Princess Yongjing did not let Rong Chenghan go immediately.
"When your father returns, the door will naturally come first to repay me. What's the matter, don't be in a hurry, sit with your seventh sister for a while. ”
"The seventh sister is talking to the mother, I will go to the study and wait for my father to come back." Rong Chenghan said.
Rong Chenghan said this, and it would be difficult for Princess Yongjing to keep it.
"That's fine. There you go. It's still the serious nature of when I was a child. Princess Yongjing said.
Rong Chenghan arched his hand at Su Qingnuan again and stepped out. When he walked to the door, he was stopped by Princess Yongjing again.
"Your seventh sister stays for dinner at night, and you come too."
Rong Chenghan nodded, didn't say anything, turned around and walked away.
……
In Liufu, Liu Ruoxi listened to the second master Liu tell about Rong Chenghan's heroic deeds with some torment. For what Second Master Liu said, she really couldn't refute it. Because, what Master Liu Er said is the truth. And these. It is less than one-tenth of what Rong Chenghan has experienced in the north in recent years.
No matter what, Liu Ruoxi has to admit it. Rong Chenghan is worthy of his name as a young hero, and his achievements and glory today are all due to the desperate killing on the battlefield. In this regard, Rong Chenghan is indeed worthy of people's praise and admiration, although he is only eighteen years old this year. And most of the children of the Jingzhong family at this age are still some sons and brothers who are fragrant and green, and the milk smell has not dried up.
That's exactly what it was in the first place. attracted Liu Ruoxi.
However, all of this cannot erase the pain that Rong Chenghan brought her. For Liu Ruoxi, Rong Chenghan is under this world. The first villain.
After listening to the second master Liu's story, Liu Ruoxi thought about what angle to make the second master Liu and the second wife of Liu have a bad feeling for Rong Chenghan.
"He does ......," Liu Ruoxi thought before persuading Second Master Liu. also said two good words about Rong Chenghan according to the intention of Second Master Liu, but she tried hard, but she couldn't say anything. "Father, mother, do you think that he is a murderous person?"
"I went to kill the enemy at the age of thirteen, and now I have come back, so I am naturally different from the pampered children in Beijing." Second Master Liu said disappreciatively.
Rong Chenghan's experience is very natural to have a unique bearing now.
"I think he's very smart, and I think he knows himself. is dedicated to learning, but it does not mean abandoning martial arts and following literature. The children can be taught, the children can be taught......" Liu Ruoxi's words not only did not make the second master Liu have a bad feeling for Rong Chenghan, but seemed to inspire the second master Liu and made him think of something, and suddenly looked at Rong Chenghan a little higher.
"If he stays in Beijing for a while and reads some poetry books, there will naturally be changes." Second Master Liu said, as if he was looking forward to the upcoming changes in Rong Chenghan.
"What a good person can be with a beard like that. Mother, do you remember, what was the situation of the people who met him and followed him at that time? Mountain bandit bullies, it's just like that. Dad, you don't know, my mother and I were scared at that time, I was really afraid that if they were unhappy, they would whip us and trample us to death with horses. ”
"The ones with him are indeed a little scary."
Regarding what Liu Ruoxi said that Rong Chenghan and his subordinates were very similar to the bandits who went down the mountain at that time, Mrs. Liu also agreed with it in her heart.
"But the appearance is more vicious, and after being in the army for a long time, the temperament is a little wilder. They didn't do anything evil. "Second Master Liu is quite tolerant of this.
"Dad, you weren't there at the time, so naturally you said so. My mother and I were scared to death. Liu Ruoxi said.
Second Master Liu looked at Liu Ruoxi, and then at Second Mrs. Liu, coughed twice, and it was not good to speak for Rong Chenghan and his group of "bandits going down the mountain".
"He just knew that his father was a Sven, and he just pretended to be Sven at the beginning. If it is a long time, it will definitely reveal its true nature. Daddy, don't you usually hate to associate with people like this the most? …… It's better to stay away from him, which is the way to stability. ”
"So vicious, what do you want to learn from your father, what should you do if you are angry with your father?" Liu Ruoxi whispered to Mrs. Liu again.
"There are so many people in the capital, how many Confucian students are in the Hanlin Academy alone. Dad, I really can't push it, you can find another person for him. Why should we bother him? Teach him to read, we can't afford to wait, it's better to be quiet. ”
"Well, that makes sense." Second Master Liu said. Liu Ruoxi's quiet words, as well as Rong Chenghan's identity, are indeed his taboos.
Second Master Liu promised that he would consider it carefully, and it would not be so easy to accept Rong Chenghan as a student.
"Maybe he said it on a whim, and when he mentioned it again, I would introduce another colleague from the Hanlin Academy to him. He must be looking for excellent learning, and he will not be reluctant to come. Second Master Liu said. Moreover, he doesn't pay attention to the matter of Professor Rong Chenghan, but many people will be jealous of this errand.
Although Second Master Liu is impatient with mundane affairs, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know anything.
When Liu Ruoxi heard Liu Er's words say, her heart suddenly rejoiced, and she did her best to say a lot of inconveniences in accepting Rong Chenghan as an apprentice.
The next day, Liu Ruoxi got up happily, but was told that there was a distinguished guest in front of her.
