Chapter 66: Eccentricity
This frost-covered person is Lu Chengxiu, originally he wanted to try his best to restrain his feelings, but he is really not a person who can be happy and angry. He was only glad to see some of his father's actions, which made him want to spit out his thoughts as soon as he was excited.
"Father, you are too partial! Do you only have the third brother in your eyes? "The reason why Lu Chengxiu has this is not all because there is only Lu Chengxuan in the eyes of the emperor today and not him, since the death of the prince seven years ago, the emperor has been extremely fond of Lu Chengxuan, but his attitude towards Lu Chengxiu and others is very indifferent.
"Ahem, cough ......" Before Lu Chengxiu's words fell, the emperor began to cough violently, and his already extremely pale face was even more difficult to see a little blood at this time.
Seeing this scene, everyone in Heshou Palace whispered to each other one by one, and Heshou Palace, which was not quiet in the first place, was even more noisy at this time. Because the emperor was almost unable to serve after his serious illness, the respect and fear of the former emperor had long been gone, but they were very concerned about the princes who were very likely to inherit the throne.
The second prince is good at martial arts and is good at killing enemies on the battlefield. The third prince is good at writing and is good at handling official business. The other princes were either too young or too talented, so everyone put their hopes of inheriting the throne on the second prince and the third prince, and the people in the palace and the court were divided into the second prince party and the third prince party.
"The second prince is so impulsive that he dares to question the emperor in person!" A palace concubine said with hatred that iron is not made of steel.
Another palace concubine shook her head and smiled: "Isn't my sister still unclear, our second prince has always been upright, and he has to say whatever he has in his heart, but it is not like some people who have so many twists and turns in their hearts." ”
These two palace concubines were familiar with Lu Chengxiu's biological mother Shen Concubine and were not on the same page with Lu Chengxuan's biological mother Concubine Shugui, so the two naturally stood on Lu Chengxiu's side.
"The two sisters are not right, the three princes are perfect and pure, how can there be many twists and turns in their hearts as the sisters said? On the contrary, it is the second prince who dares to be so presumptuous in front of the emperor, it can be seen that he has a good force, but he has no half of the heart of benevolence and filial piety! "Where can the people of the Three Princes Party tolerate their own revered prince being criticized, and a young woman jumped out and retorted.
This woman is Concubine Shu's niece, two years younger than Lu Chengxuan, and this time she was also stained with Concubine Shu's light to come to the palace to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. The two palace concubines who spoke just now saw that she was the one who refuted it, and they didn't dare to reply, so they just glared at her hatefully and walked away.
Shangguan Mi'er looked at the backs of the two palace concubines leaving with a proud face, and walked towards the direction where Lu Chengxuan was.
"Brother Xuan." Getting closer, Shangguan Mi'er called out to Lu Chengxuan.
At this time, Lu Chengxuan was engrossed in the emperor's body, where did he still have the leisure to deal with his delicate cousin, he didn't even turn his head to look at Shangguan Mi'er, only slightly bowed his head as a response to her.
Shangguan Mi'er was obviously not satisfied with Lu Chengxuan's attitude, and immediately bit her lower lip to reveal an extremely aggrieved expression. However, although she was dissatisfied, she didn't dare to play tricks in front of so many people in Heshou Palace, so she had no choice but to stare at Lu Chengxuan's every move with a pair of apricot eyes.
Lin Qing was very curious about the identity of this woman who suddenly rushed out to call Lu Chengxuan's 'Brother Xuan', looking at her clothes and dressing as if her status was not low, and she saw the verbal dispute between this woman and the two palace concubines, the two palace concubines seemed to be afraid of this woman, but they didn't know why.
The Emperor coughed for most of the day, vomited a lot of dark red blood, and then closed his eyes and fainted.
Lu Chengxiu didn't want to stay in this Heshou Palace for a moment, so he threw up his sleeves and walked away.
Seeing this, Zhang Qiuli, who had been following Lu Chengxiu closely, hurriedly followed, and comforted as she walked: "Don't worry, husband, my father must have missed you because he was sick and confused." ”
Unexpectedly, Zhang Qiuli's words of consolation not only relieved Lu Chengxiu, but caused him more dissatisfaction. "Ho, sick and confused? So when did he wake up again, and he never cared about me for as long as he could remember! ”
"How is it possible, husband is really joking, you are a family, and you all have the same blood on your body, how can your father not care about you? Husband, don't be angry anymore, it's not worth it to be angry. Zhang Qiuli carefully held Lu Chengxiu's hand, and persuaded again in a softened tone.
"Family? You're kidding! It's just because my mother came from a humble background, and the third brother's mother is the daughter of Jiangmen, so my father put all his heart on the third brother, but he never turned a blind eye to me. Am I kidding, you say? ”
Zhang Qiuli never thought that Lu Chengxiu would have such a big opinion of his father, but somehow she felt a sense of sympathy in her heart for no reason. Since she was a child, her father has loved and cherished his sister Ziyan, but he has been much colder to her in comparison. Although she felt a little wronged in her heart, she couldn't change her father's attitude, although her biological mother was born better than Ziyan's biological mother, but her father's attitude towards her was always light.
Unexpectedly, the second prince, who had a noble identity, also had such troubles. Zhang Qiuli looked Lu Chengxiu up and down, and suddenly a strange feeling suddenly appeared in her heart. However, she quickly suppressed this strange feeling, and a smile as warm as a spring breeze appeared on her face.
"Good husband, don't think about these sad things anymore, isn't there Li'er by your side to accompany you? Lier is infatuated with her husband, and she really can't see her husband sad and sad. ”
If Lin Qing heard such sweet and greasy words coming out of Zhang Qiuli's mouth, she must have been surprised. However, it was obvious that Lu Chengxiu was very useful to Zhang Qiuli's words, so he immediately held her hand and dragged her forward vigorously.
"What an empathetic little goblin, see how I clean you up when I go back." Lu Chengxiu laughed jokingly.
Hearing this, Zhang Qiuli's face flashed red and white, and her expression was indescribably strange.
Lu Chengxiu only thought she was shy, and the smile on his face became even stronger.
Seeing Lu Chengxiu and Zhang Qiuli leave Heshou Palace with their hands clasped, Lin Qing only felt extremely strange in his heart. Zhang Qiuli's contradictory expression naturally did not escape Lin Qing's eyes, with her understanding of Zhang Qiuli, this girl must have something tangled in her heart when she showed such an expression. The relationship between her and Lu Chengxiu may not be as simple as it seems.
