Chapter 11 Substitutions
The crown prince rushed to the main courtyard only to find that he had pounced - the crown princess had entered the palace to see the queen.
He went back to his study, thinking left and right and feeling that something was wrong.
Such a vicious method, the crown princess will definitely not be able to come up with it. Mama Lin would not let her do this kind of thing.
So who else could there be?
"Paper inkstone, you go and find out, who the little eunuch in charge of wiping the ornaments has been in contact with recently. Where did the water and cloth come from? He turned his back to the door with his hands on his back, and his expression was obscure. Check it out for the master. Whoever dares to conceal it will be killed with a rod. ”
Paper Yan said yes with a cold face.
Although the mouths of the people around the prince are very tight, it makes sense that the paper inkstone can be ranked first among the most difficult people to talk to around the prince. Not only does he not talk much, but he is also ruthless.
The prince sent him to investigate, and it can be seen that he was really angry.
If the prince really wants to find out, who dares to hide it?
Tan Chen felt sympathy for the person who didn't know how to play tricks, the prince had a good temper, but it was even more scary for a good-tempered person to turn his face. If that person is really found, I don't know if he can save that little life.
The prince solved the matter, and it was not too early to see the sky. He also promised Zhang Biyu to accompany her to dinner, and went to Zhulan Courtyard.
Zhang Biyu sat at the table and waited for him, and when she saw him coming, she hurriedly got up to greet him.
To be honest, the prince's impression of Zhang Biyu has always been very vague, who made her the least outstanding among the four.
The prince loves beauty, and the meal naturally has to be accompanied by beauties, which is the beauty of the meal.
If it weren't for Zhang Biyu being pregnant with a child, probably the prince would not have thought of letting her serve the meal.
The prince held her and put one hand on her abdomen, "If you are pregnant with a child, you should be careful." The tone was gentle.
Zhang Biyu nodded obediently, and sure enough, as soon as she knew that she had a child, the prince's attitude immediately changed.
Although the prince also talked to her kindly before, but she didn't know if she was in her eyes or not?
Now, if she coughs, the prince will ask her with concern.
Zhang Biyu smiled, "Your Highness, don't worry, I heard that it's good for children to walk more." I am too delicate to raise, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to have children. ”
At this time, the people in the dining room came to ask if she wanted to serve food, and the grandson nodded and helped her sit down.
The palace people rushed in with vegetables and fish.
The grandson has not yet been officially canonized, and Zhang Biyu's future position has not been determined, so now it is still according to the example of the concubine.
A total of five dishes. Two meats, two vegetables and one soup.
The prince felt a little wronged by her, after all, she was pregnant with her own child now, so he asked, "What do you want to eat these days?" ”
Zhang Biyu glanced at the table and turned her head, "I didn't know that I had him when everything was good before, but since I knew, I couldn't eat anything." She knew how to use children for her own ends, after all, she had been planning for so long.
"So today, I have to ask His Highness for a favor, please ask Your Highness to reward me with a palace maid who is good at cooking." She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said softly.
This is not an over-the-top request.
The prince said, "What's this, Tan Chen, tomorrow according to your master's instructions, find a palace maid who is good at cooking, and find two more grandmothers who can take care of the woman." Be clear about your net worth. That last sentence is the point.
Zhang Biyu continued, "According to the rules, I can only have one palace maid who serves me closely, Qingqing has been serving me for so long, and I don't feel at ease if I want to demote her to be a palace maid." It's better to let her go back to her mother to serve. She smiled, "Originally, I should have mentioned it to Niangniang, but His Highness also knows that Niangniang doesn't want to see me now, I'm afraid that if I mention it, it will hurt Qingqing." ”
The prince thought of the princess's cold face, and he was also a little dissatisfied in his heart. However, he will not follow the concubine to belittle his wife.
"But you are too careful, your sister Dong is not such a person." The prince diverted the topic, "This green robe looks good. He took a pair of chopsticks and gave them to Zhang Biyu, "It's just right to eat at this time." ”
Zhang Biyu only said that she had done useless work, and she felt a little lost, so she lowered her head and ate it.
Qingqing, who was waiting behind him, bit his lip and said nothing.
The prince went back to the study after eating, and after reading a few folds, he heard someone outside asking for peace.
"Your Royal Highness, it's Ruyi by the side of the crown princess." Tan Chen looked outside.
The prince put down the pen and said, "Let her in." ”
Ruyi came in and saluted first, "Your Highness is auspicious." Niangniang came back from the palace and heard that His Royal Highness had gone down to the main courtyard, and I didn't know what His Highness had to order, so she sent a slave and maid to ask. ”
"But I went to tell the queen mother about Zhang's pregnancy?"
Ruyi nodded, "Niangniang is very happy, she gave some jewels and satin, and the master has already sent someone to send it to Master Zhang." ”
"It's not a big deal," the prince remembered the princess's character, and decided not to ask her about such a poisonous thing, she could get all the grass and trees. "The Zhang family wants a palace maid who is good at cooking, the original palace maid, you let your master arrange it."
Ruyi said in his heart that this Zhang family is really holding chicken feathers as arrows, and this kind of thing should also be known to the grandson. However, he still responded respectfully.
"Alright, let's go back."
After the prince sent her away, he didn't have the heart to criticize it.
The crown princess can't stand up, and someone in the palace has to come to the town. He can meddle in internal affairs once, but many times, others will inevitably guess whether the crown princess is not liked by the prince or is incapable, why do you even have to do these things.
He got up, "Let's go, go to Tinglan Courtyard." ”
Zhuang Zhaodu was already lying on the bed, and the prince didn't let her sleep tonight, so she was ready to rest early.
This is good, hurriedly put on a coat and walked out of bed, and the prince just entered the house.
He glanced at the group of people waiting behind him, Tan Chen took himself as the leader and hurriedly led them to withdraw. His eyes were fixed on the ground, and he didn't dare to lift them up.
The prince glared at Zhuang Zhao, who looked innocent, picked her up horizontally, and threw her on the bed.
Zhuang Zhao exclaimed in surprise, supported his body with his hands, and accidentally brushed the prince's hand with his foot.
Both of them were stunned.
The prince grabbed her backward foot and rubbed it in his hand, and the delicate and jade foot looked particularly small in his hand.
"You should have dyed your feet with impatiens," the prince touched with pity.
Zhuang Zhao itched and shrunk, "Your Highness still said, I don't dare to stretch out my hand today." She spread the back of her hand in front of him, ten fingernails of ten different colors, and she didn't know how he got it.
The prince saw her hand, ten fingers slender, with a faint red, indescribably enchanting and moving. For a moment, I forgot what I was going to say to her, and I just wanted to see that the corners of her eyes and face were dyed with such red.
By the time the prince realized his idea, the people around him were already as soft as water. He took her head and leaned on his shoulder, "Today I asked Imperial Doctor Liu to diagnose Li's pulse, it was a hallucination caused by Wushi San"
"Five stones?" Zhuang Zhao was very surprised, "Who can you find out?" ”
The prince sighed, "It's a little eunuch who wipes ornaments, and when I went, they all cheated and slipped and didn't wait, so I let them all deal with them in a fit of anger, but cut off the clues." He was a little annoyed.
Zhuang Zhao held his hand and said softly, "Your Highness doesn't have to blame yourself, people who dare to do such things are probably very hard-mouthed." I can't ask anything. However, it is indeed time for the subordinates in the palace to straighten out. His Royal Highness is about to become the crown prince, although the king of Qi is falling, it is difficult to guarantee that the other princes have no ideas. What's more, there are spies from Beiyi, so it's always right to keep the palace people tighter. ”
The thoughts in the prince's heart were said by her, and he was much more relaxed. I can't help but think about how good it would be if the crown princess had such an eye as her.
"You Sister Dong can't do these things. I'll have to leave it to you. He kissed the two of them's hands.
Zhuang Zhao happily agreed, "As long as Your Highness is at ease, the concubine is willing to share your worries." "Not only to help the prince, but also to help her own authority.
After finishing the business, the prince's eyes became focused on her again. But she didn't know it yet, her head was moving around, and she wanted to find a comfortable place to lean on. His hair rubbed against the prince's neck, itching all the way to his heart.
He rolled over and crushed her underneath him.
Standing outside, Bai Cha was so ashamed that he couldn't raise his head, but Tan Chen had already stopped his heart. A few more times, he will become a Buddha on the ground. He thought bitterly.
The next day, the prince sent Tan Chen to talk to the crown princess, the general meaning was that the crown princess had worked hard these days, and the palace people in the palace felt that there were some places to adjust, and he would hand over this kind of trivial matter to Zhuang Zhao to deal with, hoping that the crown princess could cooperate with Yunyun.
The crown princess had just heard the intimidation education from the queen, and she was afraid that she would be made out of the house by the prince, so she didn't dare to say anything, so she let Zhuang Zhao deal with it.
Zhuang Zhao ordered someone to call a few stewards to stand in his courtyard for a while, and then called in to speak.
Several people lowered their eyebrows and were pleasing to the eyes, and they couldn't see their feelings.
Zhuang Zhao touched the tourmaline stone string on his wrist and said casually, "Which ones are they, I'll hear if you report them." ”
After the four of them finished speaking from left to right, they listened to Zhuang Zhaodao, "Originally, I shouldn't have taken care of you, but you really didn't do anything wrong." Relying on her mother's good temperament, she is blindly lazy and slippery. I'm not a kind-hearted person like my mother, you can do what you want you to do, and you can honestly reply to me if you want you to reply. If there is one thing that can't be done," she glanced at the four sternly, "Your Highness said, it is not an exaggeration to kill the staff immediately." ”
The four of them still responded one after another, but Zhuang Zhao could see that he was still bullying her young and tender.
She didn't bother to bother with them, and when she really committed something, she let them know if she was a bully or not.
"Go back today, two things. In one case, bring up all the details of the people under your hands, and on the other hand, let the people under your hands write the details of the others and present them together. I'll look for you again when I've read it. ”
The four of them glanced at each other and responded.
Zhuang Zhao didn't look at them either, took care of himself and smelled the tea, and said casually, "Okay, step down." ”
She looked at the backs of the four of them, drank the tea in one gulp, and gently buckled the tea cup on the table.
Next, it's time for her to make a big splash.
