Chapter Eighty-Three: So It Was 1
For new things, people are always full of curiosity, that is, practical and novel, they will rush to it, practical, novel, rare together, inevitably expensive.
The appearance of the glass mirror is destined to cause a sensation, all the people in the imperial study know it, and look at Zuo Chen's gaze with a strange look, the emperor's new favorite Liu Zuochen Liu Shilang is about to shine in this multinational court meeting!
Hou Jianbin after bidding farewell to the emperor, secretly happy, where is what the eunuch said is not good for him? It is clear that the emperor gave himself a big surprise! Thinking that in front of the envoy of the Outland, I can finally be proud once. Thinking that the glass mirror will win glory for Da Antai, he will definitely be rewarded by the emperor. couldn't help but lighten his steps, and his gaze at Liu Shilang changed from hostile to full of friendliness.
This Liu Shilang is not as heinous as some officials say, Hou Jianbin thought so, and said: "Lord Wang, Liu Shilang, from the next to the east, to the Fontainebleau Restaurant to talk about it?" ”
Wang Ye and Zuo Chen both have their own hearts and minds.
You, Hou Jianbin, are so happy in your heart! The prince scolded and said: "You owe this banquet first, and then I will ask you for it in your spare time, there are important things to do, go back to each house!" ”
"It's all up to the prince's arrangement, and the lower officials will owe ,......it first," Hou Shangshu said curtly, looking at Zuo Chen and stopping to speak, and leaving with a kind smile.
Looking, the prince looked at Hou Shangshu's smiling face that cooled down for three points, Zuo Chen secretly thought, this intrigue above the court is pretending to be flattering, and he really wants to learn from this old fox. The prince was taken away by the emperor from the imperial study, and until now he has been out of the imperial city, he has a lot of thoughts, and he has been full of smiles from beginning to end, and his words are not disturbed by the slightest thought, and he still does not lose his senses. Just this skill made Zuo Chen secretly admire in his heart.
"Grandpa, this glass mirror was prepared for you by my grandson, but I didn't give it to you because I was too small, I didn't expect this mirror to be so attractive!" Zuo Chen said with a hippie smile and handed the mirror he took out to the prince.
In the imperial study, the prince held his own identity, did not ask for a careful look in his hand, this will sit in the sedan chair in the dim light and can not see the clues, now can only be carefully put into his arms, "In the future, you are not allowed to call grandpa!" ”
Ready to turn your face and deny people? It shouldn't get to that point! Zuo Chen thought about it and said hesitantly: "Grandson, I didn't understand!" "I vaguely guessed, could it be that the two brothers in the imperial study are secretive?
The light in the sedan chair was indeed dim, and before the unitary, he couldn't see the prince's face clearly at close range, but Zuo Chen could vaguely detect the complexity of the prince's smile, and he couldn't help but get nervous, and faintly felt a little bad! Sure enough, the six gods who were shocked by the prince's words had no master.
"The Queen Mother has decided that Princess Ruxuan will marry you."
There is no feeling of fluttering immortals, and it is not like drinking the elixir jade liquid, Zuo Chen, who closed his eyes, thought of it-Baiyun Canggou! Who would have thought? Things would have developed to such a point, who would have thought that the official worship of the three products of the Ministry of Labor was actually a foreshadowing? Who would have thought that he would not be punished for causing trouble, and now he is about to become the emperor's son-in-law!?
Along the way, the two people in the sedan chair were very tacit, and no one said a word, so they arrived at the general's mansion silently, and when Zuo Chen, who had been pondering in the front hall for a long time, woke up, he couldn't remember how to say goodbye to the prince, and how to go back to the house and sit in the front hall.
Looking at Zhang Youcai's concerned look, Zuo Chen asked stupidly, "Uncle Zhang, have I been back for a long time?" ”
What happened to blow Childe like this? Zhang Youcai thought about it and said, "It's almost half an hour, and the court wants to dispose of you?" ”
Zuo Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head, "No! The emperor gave me a squire in the Ministry of Works, and he also wanted to marry the princess to me. ”
"What a good thing! Why are you still depressed? Wouldn't you be happy not to punish you? "Zhang Youcai is difficult to understand, this is the supreme favor of the king of a country, how many people dream of it but can't get it, and how many years of hard work may not be the title of the gold list or an official in the court. What's more, he is about to become the king of a country!
Being deliberately arranged in his life is an act that Zuo Chen is unwilling to accept. Advocating freedom of behavior without being constrained by status and freedom of marriage without being bound by feudal etiquette is the idea he recognizes. Zuo Chen slowly integrated a lot of feelings into the people around him, and the original memories and thoughts were still difficult to live in harmony with feudal autocracy, and had nothing to do with ethics and morality, which was a psychological resistance to feudal autocracy.
Zuo Chen never thought about how to develop in his career, and the unexpected addition of the imperial court officials made him very dazed and at a loss. I never thought that the queen mother would really marry her granddaughter to him, and I thought that the joke of fooling the child would come true. Zuo Chen really underestimated the feudal dynasty's means of entrapping talents, or restraining talents for their use.
"Uncle Zhang, is there any way to get rid of these two troubles?"
"Ahem! Ahem! Cough! ……”
Shockingly, Zhang Youcai, who swallowed the tea to his throat, choked a lot, and coughed violently, turning his face purple in an instant.
"Isn't it sensational, as for you choking like this?" Zuo Chen was embarrassed, and said disdainfully.
Zhang Youcai, who finally stopped coughing, leaned his neck and rubbed his throat, his face was full of shame and annoyance, "Isn't this sensational?" Ahem...... who is like you! It's a monster! How could there be such an idea? ”
"Alas! Monsters are monsters! Zuo Chen said dejectedly.
It's just that unlike you, you got lost in the dark and didn't find your way home, so I walked among you, isn't this even more unacceptable to you? People who are not understood, let alone open their hearts and speak freely, make Zuo Chen very depressed. How to worry more and more! I grumbled in my heart, and my drooping head hung lower.
Seeing Zuo Chen's listless appearance, it didn't seem to be fake, Zhang Youcai was really confused. If he had this opportunity, he would definitely be happy to close his mouth, and it is estimated that he would laugh and dance in his dreams, is it a princess who is ugly or a fool? ……
With a "bang", Zhang Youcai jumped up from his chair in fright for his thoughts.
"Which princess is it?" Zhang Youcai felt that his heartbeat was intensifying, and he was immediately in danger of rushing out of his chest.
was frightened by Zhang Youcai's words and deeds, "It's Princess Ruxuan's ......", Zuo Chen's eyes widened in astonishment, and his stomach "growled" in protest, but he didn't hear it at all.
"Who?"
“…… As...... Day lily...... Princess. Zuo Chen was so nervous that he couldn't speak, and his voice was even quieter, as weak as a mosquito born in autumn.
Zhang Youcai only felt that the blood rushed into his brain all of a sudden, and he sat in the chair with a dizziness, his eyes wide open in vain, and there was no trace of brilliance at all, as if at this moment, he was detained by the soul envoy.
The world was spinning for a while, and Zuo Chen knew when he saw his expression that this matter was by no means ordinary. The secret conversation between the two brothers in the imperial study, and the dark and complicated smile of the prince in the sedan chair, poured out of his mind, and he had long felt that what the emperor and the prince said was boring, and it was really unseemly.
"Uncle Zhang, tell me what's going on?"
"You...... I don't know? Zhang Youcai, who came back to his senses after a while, turned his face with difficulty, and his heart was even more confused.
"What do I know? ......" Zuo Chen felt like he was in the clouds, he couldn't see and touch it clearly, and he had nothing to grab a handful, and the nervous sweat couldn't help but flow down his cheeks, and the numb and itchy feeling made him clearly realize that this was definitely not a dream.
"How could you not know? The princess is Li Ziqin's nephew! Zhang Youcai's face was red, and his rapid breathing sounded like a bellows-like "snort" and gasped.
"Dear...... Nephew!? ”
It was like being struck by a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and Zuo Chen collapsed in the chair like a broken frame, and soon became one with the chair.
The Empress Dowager and the Emperor actually came up with such a strange way to resolve the grudge between the Liu and Li families, which is something that Zuo Chen and Zhang Youcai could never have imagined, no wonder Prince Qing's face was dark and complicated, it turned out that this was greasy!
