Chapter 20

After leaving Chaoyang Palace, Emperor Zhengde took the prince to the Taihe Palace, and the road was quiet and silent.

Emperor Zhengde suddenly said: "Ling Xi, is it okay for Li Mingjin to give you a side concubine?" ”

The prince was stunned for a moment, although he didn't know what his father meant, but he still subconsciously said: "Father, this matter is not appropriate." ”

When Zhang Jie, the chief administrator of the Inner House, heard the words of the father and son of the Tianjia family, he silently retreated to a distance of ten meters with the eunuch Gong'e who followed, and followed them from a distance.

"What's wrong?" Emperor Zhengde looked at the crown prince who he had cultivated, he was fifty-five this year, he was no longer young, his face was wrinkled, and his sharp and clear eyes in the past also looked dim.

The prince said with a smile: "Erchen has already accepted the young lady of the Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion as a side concubine in the early years, and now the side concubine is full, I am afraid that I have wronged Miss Li." In addition, General Li is a lover, he only has such a daughter, and his sons have always respected him and know his intentions, so it is not easy to be this bad person. "So as not to chill the hearts of the heroes. The last sentence, the prince said silently in his heart.

Emperor Zhengde thought for a while and said with a smile: "Li Jiyao is indeed a person with a temperament, he really doesn't look like a noble child, this character is also straightforward, but it is not suitable to stay in the capital." In a word, he also set the goal of Li Jiyao's life in the future.

After that, he didn't mention it anymore, but mentioned another son, and asked lightly: "What is the result of Ling Shuke's investigation?" ”

Xiao Lingshu, the king of Jin, has been secretly leaving Beijing for a few days recently, investigating the robbery of the prisoners in the Heavenly Prison last month. Originally, I thought it was just a very ordinary robbery of prisoners, but who knew that it would involve the remnants of the previous dynasty. Emperor Zhengde naturally suppressed this matter and let the crown prince and the king of Jin be secretly responsible.

"The fifth brother sent a letter to Erchen yesterday, saying that he would return to Beijing today."

The prince replied truthfully, glanced at Emperor Zhengde, and was about to mention the marriage of King Jin again without a trace, when suddenly a scream sounded in the distance, Emperor Zhengde and the prince frowned at the same time, this sharp cry was somewhat familiar, and soon the two remembered something, and at the same time their faces sank, and hurriedly went to the imperial garden in front.

*******

In the Imperial Garden, summer flowers bloom brilliantly.

The seventh princess took Ah Bao to visit the imperial garden, her face was a little sad, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Li Mingjin gave her second imperial brother Xiao Ling's masterpiece side concubine is an excellent idea, so that the second imperial brother can not only win over the general of Zhenbei, but also make the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion in a dilemma, dare not blatantly stand in line with the prince, and at the same time extinguish the heart of the eldest princess of Changping, what a good idea?

As for General Zhenbei, he is not happy to have his daughter as a side concubine? It's okay, when the time comes, let her father marry directly, and he will dare to resist the decree and not obey it?

It's just that who should be asked to speak about this?

Ah Bao followed the Seventh Princess, seeing the sometimes worried, sometimes embarrassed and sometimes cheerful expression on her face, although I don't know what this girl is thinking, but according to the Seventh Princess's combat effectiveness, even if the means are simple and rude, it is also full of lethality, I just hope she doesn't have any crooked ideas now.

Just as Ah Bao was thinking a little casually, the seventh princess looked back at her with sparkling eyes, and said kindly: "Li Mingjin, I heard my second emperor brother say that he has a Zhuangzi in the suburbs, and there are a lot of peach blossoms in the Zhuangzi, as well as hot springs, you must not have seen a hot spring, right?" The smell of the water is very strange, but I heard that it can cure all kinds of diseases, and a woman can soak it, and it has a beauty effect. ”

No, of course she knows what the hot springs are, and when she soaked in the hot springs, you were already old. Ah Bao said silently in his heart, but he pretended to have a very curious expression on his face, "Is it really so amazing?" ”

"Naturally!" The Seventh Princess said happily: "Although I think I look good, it would be nice if my skin could be whiter." The imperial brother once promised me that if I wanted to go to the hot springs, he would ask the second imperial sister-in-law to arrange it for me. Li Mingjin, why don't you go with me? ”

"This ...... I'll have to go back and ask my aunt. Ah Bao said hesitantly: "And I think the weather is hot, and it is uncomfortable to soak in the hot spring, so it is not so necessary......"

The Seventh Princess sneered: "Li Mingjin, do you think that you are the national beauty and natural fragrance, and you are already so beautiful that you don't need to soak in the hot springs?" Don't worry, this princess invited you to go, can Mrs. Weiyuan Marquis stop it? She stared at Bao, Xiao's standard phoenix eyes were slightly furrowed, and she didn't want to hear the rejection.

it! When did she say that? This girl is obviously innocent and flawless one moment, but the next moment she looks like a rude and scoundrel woman?

Just when Po wanted to continue refusing, a clear voice came: "I heard it, you guys want to play, I want to ~~"

Ah Bao and the Seventh Princess looked up at the same time, and saw a head poking out from the rockery not far away, the young man had red lips and white teeth, and was incredibly beautiful, but it was a pity that he looked childish, like an innocent and flawless child. And I don't know where he went, his face was stained with some mud, even the crown of his hair was a little crooked, and the broken hair slipped down from his sideburns.

The young man also saw the two people under the rockery clearly, made an oh sound, pointed at the seventh princess and said angrily: "It turned out that you are a bad woman, so I won't play with you." ”

"......" Po looked at him blankly, and soon realized that the man had a mental problem.

As soon as the seventh princess saw him, she was furious and said, "Shut up, you come down for me!" ”

"Come down, come down, I'm afraid of you!"

After the young man ran down the rockery with all his hands and feet, Ah Bao realized that this was not a teenager at all, but a mature and high-spirited seven-foot man. Wearing an expensive blue silk shirt, the jewelry he wears is all high-quality, which shows that this son's identity is not ordinary.

"You stupid, you dare to eavesdrop on us!" The seventh princess said viciously, and her dislike for this man could be seen between her eyebrows, "Why didn't you come here instead of being the dog of the fifth sister?" Beware of someone trying to smash your head again? Get out of the way, princess, don't come here to be an eyesore! ”

The man pursed his lips, stared at the seventh princess with a pair of big black and white eyes, and then puffed out his cheeks and hummed: "You bad woman, I'll kill you!" ”

When the seventh princess heard this, her face changed slightly, and she saw the man take out a slingshot and a huge pearl from his sleeve and hit the pearl at them.

The seventh princess subconsciously hid behind Bao, and Pearl bounced towards Bao.

Ah Bao also hurriedly flashed, watching the pearl hit a pot of orchids next to him, and burst the flower pot, splashing the soil, it can be seen that his arm strength is amazing, and he is glad that he flashed fast just now.

"Idiot, don't stop yet!"

The seventh princess shouted angrily, but unfortunately the man seemed to be addicted, and clapped his hands and laughed while playing them with pearls: "Beat the bad guys, beat the bad guys......"

Poor Po: =__=! This is an unwarranted disaster...... She doesn't even know who this man is?!

Ah Bao pulled the seventh princess and ran quickly, the man chased after him, and the palace maids who followed him couldn't catch up at all in the distance, so they could only chase anxiously behind him. Although the man's mind was not high, he was a man with sound limbs, and he was very fast, and he quickly caught up, stretched out his hand and pushed the seventh princess out of the way.

The seventh princess screamed, found that there was a crescent moon lake next to her, and subconsciously grabbed the things around her to stabilize her body.

Ah Bao was pulled backwards, and her waist hit the bulge of the big rock next to the lake, which made her eyes black, her feet were weak, and her body fell backwards into the lake.

The man found that someone had fallen into the water, and he was still a little puzzled, seeing the seventh princess sitting by the lake, and wanted to push her down, the seventh princess reacted very quickly, stretched out her leg and tripped hard, the man didn't notice his feet, and also fell into the lake.

When the palace maids who finally arrived saw this scene, they panicked and screamed: "Someone has fallen into the water, come and save people-"

Because the seventh princess took her female dependents into the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers, the guards were all outside and could not arrive in time, so they could only let a palace maid who knew how to jump down and save the man who was fluttering in the water.

The man drank some water, was also frightened, and after being rescued, he screamed and cried on the spot, "Wow wow, the bad woman bullied me again......"

The seventh princess didn't bother to take care of this man at all, and shouted in horror: "And Li Mingjin, you go and rescue her!" ”

The people present looked at each other, looking at the calm and waveless lake, as if the previous person had fallen into the water and never floated up?

At this moment, a cold and hard voice asked, "Li Mingjin?" ”

"Yes, yes, Li Mingjin also fell into the water...... Belch? ”

After answering, the seventh princess realized that the voice was wrong, and when she looked up, she didn't see who the person was, and a figure had already jumped into the water.
