CHAPTER XLVI

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, how can you be so impulsive?" Prime Minister Song walked to his side, stroked his beard and said in a voice that only two people could hear, "In case the emperor really lets you go to Jizhou City with the army......"

"Grandpa, don't worry, my father's temperament Bengong understands, how could he let Bengong go to Jizhou with that Dongfangdu." Dongfang Xi hooked his lips and smiled evilly, not pretending to be impulsive and stupid, how could he let them let down their guard.

"Alas, you......" Prime Minister Song sighed, this prince is his own grandson, he treats the prince as the emperor one day, and their Song family is even more prosperous. can see Dongfang Xi's impulsive appearance at every turn, I am really worried about his position as the prince.

Just when Prime Minister Song was lamenting and worried, Dongfang Xi suddenly asked: "Grandfather, it seems that my father and emperor ascended to the throne at the age of twenty." At that time, Hongu was not yet born, was that so? He turned his head to look at Prime Minister Song.

"Exactly." Prime Minister Song nodded and asked puzzledly, "His Royal Highness the Prince, why did you suddenly ask this?" "Why inexplicably asked Emperor Qianwen about his accession to the throne.

"Nothing." Dongfang Xi turned his head, glanced at Zichen Palace, and whispered, "After the New Year, the palace will be twenty." He turned his head to Prime Minister Song and said, "Grandpa, it's time to go back to the East Palace." "Taifu and Taishi should already be waiting in the East Palace to teach him.

After Dongfang finished going to the court, he wanted to go back to his Fengqing Palace first, but suddenly thought that the matter he had given to Chu Mi had not yet been settled, so he turned to Zhaoxian Palace. The eunuch guarding the palace saw that the second prince was coming, and hurriedly greeted him, "His Royal Highness the Second Prince", Dongfang Du waved his hand, said a word of exemption, and strode inside.

"Mother Concubine" Dongfang Du entered the house and bowed.

"Du'er is here, come, come and sit." Concubine Xian put the book at the head of the bed and beckoned to Dongfang Du, but Dongfang Du did not walk over and sit down, but stood in place and said, "Mother, Erchen is here to find my senior sister." ”

"Coming to Mi'er?" Concubine Xian smiled ambiguously, suddenly remembered what Dongfang Du said yesterday, her heart sank, and she smiled, "What are you looking for her for?" "There was some worry in my heart.

Seeing the worry on Concubine Xian's face, Dongfang Du smiled before saying, "Mother, the son-in-law is looking for a senior sister to discuss, and he will not do anything to hurt her." "Looking at the concubine like that, how can it seem that Chu Mi is her own daughter, but she is an outsider.

"Mi'er, she ......" Concubine Xian paused before saying, "She left the palace early this morning." Chu Mi came to her early in the morning and said that she wanted to leave the palace, thinking that her emperor had hurt Chu Mi's heart, and she kept her repeatedly, but Chu Mi insisted on leaving the palace. Concubine Xian had no choice but to give her her own talisman and tell her that as long as she held this talisman, she could enter the palace at any time.

"So fast?" Dongfang Du frowned and muttered, "Why don't you tell me first, and then leave the palace." "No matter what, you have to tell yourself to leave the palace again.

"Du'er, come here." Concubine Xian said to Dongfang Du, this time, Dongfang Du obediently sat beside Concubine Xian.

"Du'er, you sue Concubine SΓΉ, what did you say to Mi'er alone yesterday? Why did she leave the palace early this morning? If he hadn't said something, he wouldn't have left in such a hurry, looking at Dongfangdu's appearance, he didn't seem to know that Chu Mi had left the palace, this didn't say a word to Dongfang Du and left, it didn't look like Chu Mi's person.

Dongfang Du looked at Concubine Xian's questioning face, as if he really said something to Chu Mi that he shouldn't have said to force her to leave the palace, and he felt a little aggrieved in his heart.

"Mother, senior sister, she left the palace because there was something, and it wasn't the sons who forced her to leave." With such an explanation, Concubine Xian's face became even more ugly, and she frowned and replied, "You didn't force her to leave, she would leave so suddenly?" At the same time, I said in my heart, it wasn't you who forced her to leave, what did you explain?

"She left the palace, there is really something, and besides, she should be back soon." Although she didn't tell herself that she was leaving the palace today, she was sure that she would be back soon.

"What did she leave the palace for?" Concubine Xian looked at Dongfang Du's eyes, wanting to determine if she was telling a lie to perfunctory herself, but seeing her look of affirmation, she should be telling the truth.

"Mother, you will know about this later." It's not to get the concubine out of the palace, but now is not the time to say it, at least wait for Chu Mi to arrange everything properly. If you say it now, if it is not arranged, wouldn't it make the mother concubine happy.

"You, you're still selling the guanzi." Concubine Xian's tense face finally eased, and she touched Dongfang Du's head, "Du'er, Mi'er is really good to you." "Even if Dongfang Du doesn't say it, Concubine Xian has guessed what it is, if she can, she really hopes that Du'er can be with Mi'er.

"I know." Dongfang Du nodded, but he didn't doubt why Concubine Xian suddenly boasted, "Senior sister, she is also my dearest and dearest person." "If there were no dark clouds, Chu Mi would not just be the closest and dearest person.

"If you know, it's good." Concubine Xian said slowly: "Remember, you have to keep her in your heart, don't forget her kindness to you." "Concubine Xian has never seen the dark clouds, and she has only been with Chu Mi for a few days. In the past few days, she and Chu Mi have been talking about Dongfang Du when he was young, and in Chu Mi's words, what she unconsciously revealed was her love for Dongfangdu, and that love was not just because she was a senior sister.

"Hmm" Dongfang Du nodded, and had already sworn in his heart that he would protect his senior sister for a lifetime, even if one day his senior sister had someone she loved to protect her, she would silently protect her senior sister from afar. I just don't know when someone who likes my sister will appear. Thinking that the senior sister said that she liked herself a few days ago, Dongfang Du's heart tugged, and there was an indescribable pain and suffering.

"Mother, my son-in-law won't disturb you reading." Dongfang Du picked up the book next to Concubine Xian's pillow and handed it to Concubine Xian, "It's easy for your eyes to be sour after looking at it for a long time, and Erchen will let Leng Mei make you a cup of wolfberry tea for a while." After saying that, he got up, bowed, and turned to leave.

"Well, it's still that kid after all." Concubine Xian looked at the back of Dongfang Du leaving, sighed helplessly, looked down at the book in her hand, shook her head, and turned a page casually.

Before Dongfang Du set out on the expedition, Dark Cloud should have stayed in the Fengqing Palace all the time. It's just that after Dongfang Du came back from Zhaoxian Palace, the dark clouds never came out. The dark cloud was not there, Dongfang Du sat at the table in a daze, and was stunned at a plate of osmanthus cake. I don't even know when Banlan will appear by his side.

"Second prince, you've been looking at this plate of osmanthus cake for a long time." Banlan whispered, pulling Dongfang Du's thoughts back, seeing Dongfang Du turn his head to look at her, he continued: "Are you reluctant to eat?" Don't worry, the slave will do it for you again in the future. After speaking, he smiled shyly.

"Uh" Dongfang Du turned around, continued to look at the osmanthus cake, and slowly replied, "I'm just in a daze." "I'm not thinking about eating osmanthus cake at all.

"Second prince, what's wrong with you?" Banlan asked worriedly, what is there about this that the second prince can't figure out?

"Banlan, you don't have to serve the palace in the future." Dongfang Du brought the plate of osmanthus cake to him, hesitating whether to eat a piece.

When Banlan heard this, she hurriedly grabbed Dongfang Du's sleeve, and asked with red eyes: "Second prince, what's wrong with you, what did the slave do wrong, you don't want the slave?" Slaves and maids can cook, eat, clean the palace, serve you tea, send water, knock shoulders and beat their backs...... "Banlan counted the things she could do.

"Banlan, it's not that this palace doesn't want you anymore, it's that this palace is going to leave here for a long time." left, so there is no need for her to serve, and I don't know when I will be able to come back, "You might as well go to the mother concubine and follow the mother concubine." ”

"No, no matter where you go, Banlan will follow." Banlan let go of Dongfang Du's hand and stood up straight, looking at her with firm eyes.

"You're still a kid. The place where the main palace went was Jizhou, and it was there to fight. Dongfang Du looked back at Banlan, met her eyes, and sighed softly, "It's not a place you can go." ”

"Even if you go to the battlefield, the slave and maid will follow you to serve you." When he heard that he was going to fight, he strengthened Banlan's determination to follow. The army is all men, and without a person like her who can take care of the trivial things of life, I don't know how bad Dongfang Du will be.

Dongfang Du frowned, didn't say anything more, turned his head to the osmanthus cake, and continued to start. After a long time, he got up and prepared to go to Lingxin Palace to find Dongfang Lingwu, but he never thought that he was stopped by the little eunuch at the door, "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, the princess said that she didn't want to see you." "That's right, Dongfang Lingwu specially confessed, anyone can see it, but he won't see Dongfangdu.

Dongfang Du sighed, and could only reluctantly return to his Fengqing Palace. On this day, Chu Mi left the palace, Dongfang Ling Wu avoided it, but the dark cloud did not appear all day. For a moment, it seemed that she was the only one left. And three days later, it was the day she followed General Zhang to Jizhou.
