Seventy-five

A long time ago, Xu You knew that His Royal Highness King Lu Dao Qi was a tease, but it was only now that she really realized that this tease was basically incurable. No matter how much she emphasized that the thing in her hand was given by Zhao Cheng, His Royal Highness King Qi insisted on his opinion wishfully as if he hadn't heard it at all.

“…… I'll just say, why does it look so familiar," he looked at Xu Yu eagerly and sighed, "It turned out to be a snow ball." Did Brother Shun recognize it, so he gave you the cat card? ”

Xu You explained for a long time that he found that he was basically doing useless work, so he simply stopped talking, but the little marquis of Changping asked His Royal Highness King Qi about the story of the "snow group" with great interest, and the king of Qi did not feel ashamed at all, and added fuel and vinegar to tell him the story of how he was caught by the gangsters and how he was rescued by the cat, and the little marquis of Changping also cooperated with various sighs. But Xu You felt that he didn't believe it at all.

It was precisely because of such a play that the reunion between King Qi and Zhao Chengjin became less shocking and touching, as soon as he entered the room, he didn't even have time to express his thoughts after parting, he had already hurriedly asked Xu You, "...... This little girl is a snow ball, isn't it, you see that little look in her eyes is exactly like a snow ball......"

Mrs. Meng has been squinting her eyes and staring at His Royal Highness King Qi very uncomfortably, the little marquis of Changping did not explain the identity of King Qi, so Mrs. Meng didn't know who he was, and she didn't have so many scruples when she spoke and acted. ”

It's no wonder that the old lady is unhappy, she just jokes about cat spirits on weekdays, who can be happy if she really wants to involve this kind of thing on her granddaughter. Therefore, even if flowers grew on His Royal Highness King Qi's face, Mrs. Meng also felt that this young man was not very reliable, and her evaluation was not as good as Zhao Chengjin, who was a little younger than him.

King Qi stayed at Meng's house for a short time, and said that Ming'er would take Zhao Chengjin back to Beijing in the morning, and solemnly thanked the Meng family. I can't help but say that this tease is still very good at bluffing people when he is serious, after all, people are good-looking, and when he sinks his face and swings his shelf, the temperament of the royal family and aristocrats comes out, and Ah Chu was so stunned by him that he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of his face change.

King Qi talked to Zhao Chengjin for a long time, and from time to time turned the topic to Xu You, Zhao Chengjin diverted the topic with difficulty, and repeated it several times, King Qi suddenly smiled and said, "Otherwise, I'll live here tonight." He glanced into the courtyard, "And the room." ”

Zhao Chengjin's brows were so furrowed that he could almost kill a fly.

But no one can send this prince away, even the old lady Meng, after learning that this unreliable young man turned out to be His Royal Highness the King of Qi, she immediately didn't say more, and only whispered to the second aunt in private: "It's really nine sons born to dragons, all of them are different." Let's be more sensible Brother Shun, how can this prince be like a child. He looks quite handsome, more beautiful than a girl, what kind of daughter-in-law will he have to ask for in the future to be worthy of him......"

His Royal Highness King Qi really stayed at the Meng family that night, but his guards didn't dare to take it lightly, after all, this is not the capital, there are Hu people everywhere, in case the Hu people find out their identities, this will be a lot of fun. So, the poor guards had to stay outside the courtyard for the night.

It was precisely because of His Royal Highness King Qi's gags that the farewell that should have been full of sorrow and parting became a little strange, and Xu You couldn't even cry. Until she sent Zhao Chengjin all the way out of the city, His Royal Highness King Qi was still like a perverted obscene uncle who tried hard to lure her into Beijing, "Xiaoxuetuan, are you really not going to the capital with me?" What's the point here in Yunzhou, follow me to the capital, I have a big head in the family, take your grandma and your father over......"

"Seventh Uncle-" Zhao Chengjin finally couldn't bear to interrupt him, "Can you go?" ”

King Qi waved his hand at him a little impatiently, "What's the hurry, I still want to say a few more words to Xiao Xuetuan." ”

"She's a little snow, not a snow ball!" Zhao Chengjin was a little angry, "Besides, even if Xiaoxue and the others want to enter Beijing, they will live in my house first, and it will not be your turn to take care of it." ”

King Qi snorted, "I can be the master of my family, and you can be the master of your house?" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhao Chengjin's face change slightly, and he suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing. In the past few years, he has already told Zhao Chengjin about those rough things in the Rui Wangfu, and now that he suddenly mentions this stubble, it is inevitable that Zhao Chengjin will think more, although King Qi looks like a hanger all day long, but he is not stupid, and he understands it very well in his heart.

Zhao Chengjin quickly returned to normal, pulled the corners of his mouth, did not speak, and after a while, he whispered: "There will always be a day when I can be the master." ”

…………

Considering Zhao Chengjin's leg injury, they walked very slowly on the way back, and it took more than 20 days to finally reach the small city north of the capital. At the same time, the Rui Wangfu is also in turmoil.

"The princess has returned home!"

"She's back!" Concubine Zhang sat up from the couch, her face suddenly turned pale, "Why did she come back suddenly?" She came back alone? What about the cripple? ”

"I didn't see it." The maid cuckoo replied in a low voice: "It seems that she is the only one, and several grandmothers and maids have also returned." She paused, glanced at Concubine Zhang with some anxiety, and said in a low voice: "The prince has gone out to greet him." ”

Concubine Zhang grabbed the cup on the table casually and smashed it on the ground, and the cuckoo trembled in fright and quietly took a few steps back.

"What are you hiding, and I can still eat you?" Concubine Zhang shouted, bit her lip and stood up, walked around the room a few times, and simply gritted her teeth and raised her chin slightly, "Let's go over and take a look." ”

The cuckoo's face changed slightly, shrunk slightly, and persuaded in a low voice: "Master, the prince is still here, if you annoy the prince now......"

"Bring the third young master over." Concubine Zhang smiled proudly, her head raised higher and higher, "With the third young master here, who dares to embarrass me?" After that, he hurriedly beckoned the maid to dress her up.

After combing her hair and smearing it with a touch of fat powder, Concubine Zhang was just about to get up, but there was a commotion outside the courtyard, as if many people rushed in, the footsteps were noisy and heavy, and even with unceremonious recklessness, Concubine Zhang immediately changed her face, and rushed out of the gang as soon as she threw off the handkerchief, and shouted: "Don't look at what kind of place this is, who let you in?" ”

Steward Xu bowed to Concubine Zhang with a smile, "I've seen Concubine Zhang." ”

Steward Xu is a close confidant of Lord Rui, and Concubine Zhang didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of him, and she was slightly uneasy in her heart, but her face was still propped up, and she asked with a shelf: "Steward Xu, what are you doing here?" What does it mean to bring so many people into my yard? ”

Steward Xu smiled politely, "The side concubine is not worried, and the little one is also acting on orders." After that, he sank his face and shouted coldly to the guards: "What are you doing in a daze, don't do it quickly." ”

The guards responded loudly, and rushed into the courtyard and room like fierce beasts, but anyone who saw the people in this courtyard immediately took it without asking a word. However, in the blink of an eye, all the subordinates in the entire Lingering Garden were tied up in the courtyard, and even the few big girls who were served by Concubine Zhang were not spared.

Concubine Zhang was shocked, her face was already pale, and her voice became sharp due to nervousness and panic, "What are you going to do?" What to do? Did the princess ask you to come, why did you arrest the people in my courtyard? I want to see the prince, I want to see the prince-" As she spoke, she rushed out desperately, and only ran two steps, but was blocked by two guards who were five big and three thick, Concubine Zhang was suddenly panicked and stunned, both legs were trembling slightly, but she didn't fall down because she was holding on now.

"Brother Yan, where is my Brother Yan......"

Steward Xu still had the same calm and breezy appearance, and smiled at her politely and distantly, "Concubine Niangniang, don't embarrass us subordinates." If it weren't for the king's orders, we would have a hundred dares and wouldn't dare to mess around with you, wouldn't we? After saying that, he immediately changed his cold and indifferent face and ordered the guards: "Tie up all these dead minions and give me a trial one by one!" ”

What to judge? Concubine Zhang only felt that her heart kept falling, all the way to the valley, her body, forehead, and even her palms were all oozing sweat, and after a while, her whole body was soaked with sweat. The rouge on his face was blurred by sweat, forming an irregular red on his cheeks, which looked ridiculous.

How did it suddenly become like this?

In the early morning of the next day, the gate of the Rui Wang's Mansion was opened early, and there were already guards waiting at the city gate, looking into the distance without stopping. It wasn't until there was a familiar shadow of a horse body on the official road in the distance that he became excited, and immediately sent someone to ride back to the palace to deliver the letter.

"That's the carriage of the Qi Palace." The pedestrians on the road pointed, "His Royal Highness King Qi has come back from hunting?" ”

"It seems to be someone from King Rui's Mansion, why did you run to the gate of the city to greet you?"

"I've got a distinguished guest."

The curtain on the carriage suddenly opened, and His Royal Highness King Qi poked his head out of it and glanced around, yawned lazily, turned his head to Zhao Cheng and said, "Brother Shun, can you really go by yourself in a while?" ”

"My leg has long been healed," Zhao Cheng nodded and said, "I was able to leave when I was in Yunzhou before, but Uncle Meng was cautious and always asked me to raise more." "I haven't seen Prince Rui and Princess Rui for many years, and Zhao Cheng really doesn't want his parents to see him limping, especially when Brother Ping'er's leg has been injured.

King Qi obviously understood his intentions, but he didn't persuade him more, and smiled and responded.

The carriage drove all the way to the gate of King Rui's mansion, and many curious people even followed, chattering and speculating about which distinguished guests were in the carriage, so that Prince Rui and Princess Rui could greet them at the gate in person.

"It's here—" Before the carriage stopped, King Qi jumped out of the carriage neatly, stepped forward quickly to salute Prince Rui, and said proudly: "Second brother, fortunately, I am not dishonored!" ”

Lord Rui's eyes were a little red, and he nodded at him with difficulty, but his eyes stared at the carriage without blinking, and he didn't look at King Qi at all.

Shen Rong had already stepped forward to open the curtain for Zhao Chengjin, and the two looked at each other, Shen Rong suddenly burst into tears, and knelt on the ground first, "World...... The prince ......"

"The prince?"

"The prince of the Rui Wangfu? Isn't it already dead? ”

The onlookers were suddenly shocked, and at the same time, they became more and more curious, and they all opened their eyes in unison, sticking their necks in the direction of the carriage. Soon, a thin cyan figure slowly walked down from the carriage, the young man had a pair of eyes as bright as stars, and glanced at everyone without hurrying, and his eyes fell on the Rui Wang couple at the door, and his eyes were suddenly full of admiration and joy, "Father, mother-"

The handsome young man rushed to the front of King Rui and his wife in three steps and two steps, and was about to salute with his knees, but was held up by Lord Rui, "My brother Shun-"

The family hugged their heads and cried, and Steward Xu hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him, and while beckoning the escorted guards to enter the mansion to rest, he persuaded the Ruiwang family to enter the mansion.

I haven't seen him for more than three years, and Zhao Chengjin has changed from a young child who doesn't know anything to a young man with some stability in his youth, but Princess Kerui can't say a word, and she cried first when she saw him. Lord Rui's heart was also sad and happy, and his tears flowed down like a flood from the embankment.

After the family complained to each other, Zhao Chengjin finally couldn't help but ask Brother Ping in a low voice, "Father, where is Brother Ping?" ”

Prince Rui's face was a little embarrassed, but Princess Rui glared at him fiercely, stretched out her hand to pull Zhao Chengjin aside and sat down, and said softly: "Brother Ping lives in Zhuangzi outside the city, and my mother will take you to see him in a few days." ”

Zhao Cheng saw that she never mentioned Brother Ping'er's legs, and his heart became more and more sad, and after thinking about it, he stopped asking, and instead squeezed out a smile and said lightly about everything after parting, and the family was happy.

The furnishings in the Liyuan are still the same as three years ago, even the cat nest in the corner of the room is still there, Zhao Chengjin's eyes are slightly sour, and he seems to have seen Xue Tuan twisting his ass rolling in the house again.

Things are not people, the maids who served him earlier married people, and almost no one left the house, only Shen Rong is still there. He is much taller, still very thin, and doesn't talk much, but his eyes are as gentle and calm as ever, and when he sees him, Zhao Chengjin's heart will involuntarily settle down.

"Shen Rong," Zhao Chengjin suddenly stopped him and asked in a low voice, "Is the prescription that Imperial Doctor Hu prescribed to Brother Ping still there?" ”

Shen Rong was stunned for a moment, there was a trace of strangeness on his face, and he didn't answer positively, but asked, "What does the prince want to do with that recipe?" ”

"When I lived in Yunzhou, the family was surnamed Meng, and Uncle Meng was good at treating bruises. I want to write to him and ask him if he can cure nature, even if he can't, Uncle still has Master. ”

Shen Rong's face became more and more strange, and he hesitated for a while before he said hesitantly: "Otherwise, the prince should go and ask the princess?" The prescriptions prescribed by Imperial Doctor Hu were all received by her. ”
