Chapter 47
With the official entry of Prince Duanxiao's spiritual throne into the temple, the case of Prince Yizhong, who had been tossed for a while, finally came to an end.
The court restored the apparent calm, but obviously, only investigating and prosecuting some accomplices on the surface, vaguely detaining the basin on them, and then hastily closing the case, even if the identity of the abolished prince was restored, such a result was by no means satisfactory to the Duke of Sheng.
On the day of the sacrifice, Gonggong Sheng hid in a courtyard in the capital, facing the direction of the temple, secretly set up an incense case, solemnly bowed three times and knocked nine times, and the old tears were horizontal: "Your Highness, the old slave is sorry for you, until now, you have been posthumously sealed by a duanxiao prince, and those who have harmed you"
Gonggong Sheng's eyes sharpened, "Some have been retributed, and some are still in high positions and have to enjoy wealth and honor!" Old slave, old slave swears with his life, he will never let them go on like that! ”
Sheng Gonggong kowtowed hard again, because he knocked too hard, there was a dull collision sound on the bluestone slab, and the intersection of the stone slab and Sheng Gonggong's forehead slowly flowed scarlet blood: "Those who have harmed you, those villains who betrayed, rest assured, one day, the old slave will let them go down to make amends to you personally!" ”
"And the little highness" said this, Sheng Gonggong's hideous face eased, and it was rare to show some warmth, "The old slave finally lived up to the trust of the crown princess, the little highness grew up safely, and now he has recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, in the future," Sheng Gonggong chuckled, with a crazy meaning in his eyes, "It should have belonged to His Royal Highness, and it should have been taken back." ”
After the sacrifice was completed, Gonggong Sheng put his hands on the ground, slowly stood up, and when he finished cleaning up and opened the courtyard door, he saw his right-hand man Chen Xi, who was already waiting respectfully outside the door.
At this time, Gonggong Sheng's face was solemn, except for the scar on his forehead, there was no gaffe at all, Chen Xi took a step forward, leaned into Gonggong's ear, and said softly: "Father-in-law, people are here." ”
Gonggong Sheng narrowed his eyes, his expression condensed: "Is it clean?" ”
Chen Xi nodded and said no more.
Gonggong Sheng dressed up, put on a kind expression again, and followed Chen Xi to meet the new guest, the second son of the former prince and concubine, Zhang Huai.
Tu Huaishen didn't know that his own Sheng Gonggong was just going behind his back to meet his former senior brother secretly, and he didn't know what he was planning in secret.
After sacrificing to the temple, for a long time, his life can almost be said to have passed smoothly, and he is still a scumbag, but Jia Lan and Niu Heng are both literate and martial, and they are quite outstanding.
So overshadowed by his own companion reading, he was not angry, still smiling, the trio just mixed in the upper study, some people were afraid of the identity of vain, thinking too much and not daring to make deep friends, lest it be difficult to do it in the future, and he was not in love, but a group of gentlemen, regardless of it, just to see if they had a similar temperament, and actually made him make a lot of friends.
And Lin Daiyu in the harem, although she was very impatient to leave the palace, under Biqiu's tears and snot offensive, and the non-cooperation of the red hair, she finally pressed it down with difficulty, stayed in the palace honestly for the time being, and continued to be her companion.
But the years in the palace were really boring, she still fell in love with exploring the palace from time to time, with the little fat man selling his uncle without pressure, one after another, except for a few heavily guarded places, she also visited most of the palace without danger. In his spare time, listen to Biqiu's gossip, in the past two years, Biqiu's gossip skills have become more and more proficient, and she has been very interested in doing it before, there is a stir in the palace, Biqiu will always know it for the first time, and I don't know how she did it.
As for Xue Baochai, who was also a companion, he gradually let go of some other plans, and when he entered the palace, he found that it was not so simple to go to Qingyun, especially when there was a high-ranking concubine who was also from the four major families in the harem who wanted to obstruct it, it was almost impossible to use the help of the four major families.
What's more, except when he was in the queen's palace, Xue Baochai almost never met the emperor. But in Jingren Palace, under the queen's nose, Baochai would never dare to make some outrageous moves, and could only behave properly.
And the emperor's gaze is generally on the queen, or talking to An Rou, rarely notice the side of the companion reading, if she is an ordinary female official in the good to say, but it is the princess to read, the emperor uses his daughter's side to read, it is not so good, although Sister Bao is Tianxiang national color, but there are not no such beauties in the palace, and this emperor is not very concerned about women, so even if the emperor notices, his eyes are just swept away.
Even if it was rare to scatter a lot of money, I heard that the emperor was out and about, and she happened not to accompany the princess, so she hurriedly went to meet by chance, but at a glance, unfortunately, there was a concubine and the emperor in front of her. Oh, and look at it again, there's one hiding there, staring viciously at the concubine who is taking the lead.
Xue Baochai: ""
As for the princes, the princes are not cabbages, and the older ones have to avoid suspicion, and it is rare to walk around in the harem, and almost all the people they see are small beans who can't even walk steadily. In such a form, with Jia Yuanchun's hint of assurance, Xue Baochai gradually stopped thinking and served Princess An Rou wholeheartedly.
When Xue Baochai wanted to gain someone's favor, he almost didn't succeed.
Treat people and things, almost can't find the wrong place, and careful and thoughtful, always think of the omissions of others, often quietly thoughtful, anxious, like a spring breeze.
As he gets older, Xue Baochai becomes more and more calm, coupled with a wide range of books, poetry and books in his belly, and the posture of Ban Ji continuing history, Xie Ting Yongxue's posture is much better than another companion Lin Daiyu, no matter what. And after that, Princess An Rou really treated this big sister a lot closer, but it was strange, even so, Princess An Rou was still more intimate with Lin Daiyu, who was not as reliable as Xue Baochai in other aspects except for her appearance and bearing.
Lin Daiyu was by An Rou's side, and she could feel that this kind of thing was something that a girl with a thinner face couldn't ask, but Daiyu picked a time to ask directly: "Sister Bao is much better than me, she can do everything, I see, everyone else likes her more, why does His Highness seem to like me more?" ”
At this time, the two of them finished practicing a set of stick techniques, and were lazily lying side by side on An Rou's big bed, extremely comfortable, Lin Daiyu was not jealous, just pure curiosity, in her opinion, Xue Baochai was almost perfect, she estimated that the kind of lady her mother wanted her to become the most was Xue Baochai's appearance, but she could also feel that although An Rou was close to Baochai, there was always something apart.
An Rou turned sideways, holding her chin with one hand, as time went on, the eleven-year-old An Rou gradually grew, and her already beautiful eyebrows and eyes became more and more like a queen, only missing the majesty and dignity of the queen, but more of the innocence of a girl.
An Rou pursed her pink lips, "I can't say it either, but I always feel that although it is not obvious, Sister Xue didn't seem to be what she is now, and I can't figure out what Sister Xue is thinking." ”
Daiyu also turned sideways, she was also a rare little beauty, her eyebrows were like distant mountains with Dai, her eyes were like autumn water, her hair was like floating clouds, and her face was like morning glow reflecting snow. Xu is because she is growing up, although Daiyu still has a good appetite, it is rare that she does not develop horizontally like when she was a child, but she keeps pumping like a willow tree in spring, although she is still round, but she can be regarded as a slim girl.
The two little girls faced each other, and An Rou reached out to scratch her nose: "You are not ashamed, what do you mean to like you more, you are embarrassed to say this kind of thing." ”
Lin Daiyu didn't care, raised her delicate little chin, blinked, and laughed: "Isn't His Highness not like me?" Saying that, he suddenly made a move, to scratch An Rou's squeaky nest, An Rou was accidentally caught by her, couldn't help giggling, and reached out to Daiyu without admitting defeat, the two little girls rolled around on the bed, you pressed me and I pressed you to make a fuss, making the originally neat bed messy.
Mama Lin stood outside the door, heard the movement in the house, and a burst of girlish laughter came, and she couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth, and said in her heart that these two people are really becoming more and more blatant, do you really think that everything will be fine as soon as the door is closed? If it weren't for the fact that the princess was getting more and more cheerful and her body was getting better, she wouldn't have covered up for that bold girl.
