Chapter 141: Hesitation
Princess Tongjiang did not attend the wedding banquet.
There are so many excuses to leave the palace. Headaches, back pains, anything. She just wants to get out of the palace as soon as possible now.
Originally, I thought that Concubine Luo Chen was not a big deal, but at this moment, she seemed to be slapped in the face.
Concubine Xian didn't reveal any news to her. It almost made her a big ugly one.
The palace concubine is not allowed to watch the wedding of the prince. Not even a concubine. Concubine Xian sat in her palace, waiting for the palace maid who had gone to inquire about the news to return. But waiting left and right just didn't wait for the palace maid to come back.
She would never think that the little palace maid was greedy for fun and ran away, and this juncture must have been intercepted.
An inexplicable fear gripped her heart tightly, and she couldn't help but tremble. A qiē should be in mastery. But Luo Chen just accepted a side concubine, and their confidence was shattered.
What went wrong? There should have been no room for manoeuvre. Why did the Emperor summon Luo Chen back? He should have died in the mountains for the rest of his life. Why is it coming back?
The palace banquet was full of people of the same age. Concubine Na Fang is not considered to marry a daughter-in-law, and no elders come forward. The emperor and queen only need to wait for the new daughter-in-law to come and kowtow the next day. Other royal relatives may also not attend.
Those who came today were the sons-in-law of various royal ministers, and several princes also attended.
Zhou Wenyuan sat on the table and watched Luo Chen fight with others with a cold face. He drank everything that was toasted, as if it were a bottomless pit.
Lai Xiaochun always followed behind him, laughing and coaxing.
Bowing his head and taking a drink, Zhou Wenyuan frowned slightly. If he didn't chase her to the mountain, but intercepted Chonghua when he went out privately, wouldn't he have provoked Luo Chen?
I have to say that Luo Chen's descent from the mountain did greatly affect the situation in the court.
Those who had decided to take sides also began to wait and see. The original attitude of nine out of ten has also become ambiguous.
Pinching the wine cup, Zhou Wenyuan felt irritable for no reason.
"Zhou Wenyuan." Luo Chen's cold voice was like a basin of cold water, and Zhou Wenyuan raised his head suddenly, facing Luo Chen's cold eyes.
"Second Highness." Zhou Wenyuan got up and respectfully clasped his fists and saluted.
Luo Chen looked at him and picked up the wine glass: "Don't congratulate me?" ”
The little eunuch who was waiting beside him hurriedly came over and filled Luo Chen's wine glass with wine. The other little eunuch took a wine glass full of wine and handed it to Zhou Wenyuan.
For some reason, Zhou Wenyuan didn't want to drink this glass of wine very much. It's as if you don't want to admit something. The glass of wine was at hand, but Zhou Wenyuan felt that his hand was so heavy.
Luo Chen was not angry, and looked at him lightly. The people around were originally coaxing, but because of the attitude of these two people, they gradually quieted down.
Lai Xiaochun stood beside Luo Chen, staring at Zhou Wenyuan with a playful expression.
If Zhou Wenyuan dared to drop the wine glass and not drink this glass of wine, maybe Luo Chen would respect him as a gentleman and look down on him. Of course, no one dares to do such a maverick thing. Throwing the prince's face in the palace is like dying. Regardless of whether Luo Chen was deposed or not, he was still the emperor's concubine. And now he still lives in the palace and has not been dethroned. No matter which one it is, Zhou Wenyuan has to drink this glass of wine.
Zhou Wenyuan's face was slightly gloomy, and he slowly raised his hand to pick up the glass of wine: "Minister, congratulations to His Royal Highness." ”
Luo Chen looked at him, suddenly smiled, and raised his head to drink the wine. Snapping the wine glass on the table with his backhand, he turned and moved on to the next table.
Zhou Wenyuan drank this glass of wine slowly, and for the first time in his life, he felt that the wine was so difficult to swallow.
came to Xiaochun to smack, and he didn't even see him laugh when he married, but he laughed because he pressed Zhou Wenyuan. How awkward is his big brother.
In the new house, Chonghua has taken off the makeup on his face and the phoenix crown on his head. The wedding dress has also been changed to a bright red undergarment. The dried fruits on the bedding were cleaned up. Double-check to make sure that you don't want to sleep for a while.
The green kite walked in with hot white porridge and side dishes.
"Miss, His Royal Highness Second Highness instructed Miss to make a mat first. I woke up in the morning and didn't eat anything. ”
The porridge had been cooked a long time ago and had been smothering in the pot. At this time, it is already soft when it comes out, and it is a good time to eat. The side dishes are all simple and refreshing side dishes. It smells exceptionally refreshing.
Chonghua was still holding the apple in his hand, looking at the white porridge, only to realize that he was a little hungry.
"Can the apple be put down?" Unsure of the customs, Chonghua asked.
Jiangzhu hurriedly walked over and took the apple and offered it to the dragon and phoenix candle.
Because Chonghua couldn't go to the ground, fortunately, the bed in Yongde Palace was not a stepping bed but a very spacious large-sized carved shelf bed, and Qing Kite and Zi Mo moved to the side of the bed with a small table. He also used a handkerchief to pad Chonghua, and used a small pastel bowl to fill Chonghua with porridge.
Chonghua made up his mind that no matter what the road ahead was, he couldn't go hungry. Besides, it's not about dying. What should I eat and drink, and what should I do if I abuse myself?
Thinking of this, my heart relaxed. My stomach is getting hungrier and hungrier. Chonghua picked up the bowl and ate it.
Lai Xiaochun watched in amazement as Luo Chen wiped out all the people at the wedding banquet, and he could still walk back to the dormitory. The admiration for this senior brother has risen to another level.
"Senior brother, you are too ruthless, aren't you drunk with a thousand cups?" Lai Koharu followed him to the back. My father ordered that he should be sent to the door of the dormitory, and his mission was over.
Luo Chen gave him a blank look: "Are you crazy, can you go back alive tonight after drinking it all?" ”
Lai Xiaochun blinked: "But I watched you drink it all!" ”
Luo Chen shook his sleeves, took out two wet towels from them, and stuffed them into Koharu's hands.
Two towels swept through a thousand armies? I'll rub it, it's outrageous. Before Lai Xiaochun could sigh, he saw Luo Chen pull out two equally wet towels from his sleeves.
Four?! Lai Xiaochun looked at Luo Chen as if he was playing a trick, and pulled out two more from his sleeve. There is also it in the left sleeve. Can he say that the sleeves of the wedding dress are wide enough and the color is dark enough? In places where the lights are not bright, it is really impossible to see that the sleeves are wet.
"To be a man, you need to have a little brain." Luo Chen patted Koharu's shoulder, and his tone was deep.
Lai Xiaochun suddenly felt a little gritted teeth, saying that senior brother, you are so treacherous and cunning, do you know that your family?
"How much did you drink?" You can't just pour it into your sleeve from the first cup, right?
Luo Chen stood on his feet and turned his head to look at Xiaochun, with a cold air flashing in his eyes: "Zhou Wenyuan." ”
Lai Xiaochun almost didn't support his forehead, and the audience drank Zhou Wenyuan's cup. My brother didn't drink the toast, how much do you want to crush others!
"Do you want to follow up?" As he spoke, he had already walked to the door of the dormitory. The lights were bright, and there were already palace maids and eunuchs guarding the door.
Lai Xiaochun breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, my task is complete." I can finally go home and sleep. ”
Luo Chen waved his hand: "Go back, you can sleep lazily tomorrow." ”
If you get married, you will have marriage leave, and you can not go to work for five days. Luo Chen doesn't go out, so he doesn't have to go out when he comes to Xiaochun. This made Lai Xiaochun jump, but he instantly drooped his head.
"What are you sleeping, those spies caught in my house haven't been tried yet." It really doesn't matter if your life is like this?
At the mention of this, Luo Chen's brows furrowed: "Don't worry, lock it up first." ”
Lai Xiaochun's eyes lit up: "Senior brother, you want to try it yourself?" ”
Luo Chen slapped him on the forehead: "Go home and sleep." ”
With that, he turned around and entered the gate of the dormitory.
The big red candle reflected the whole room red. Fortunately, it was only one night, and if it was like this all the time, people would be irritable.
The palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting at the door were waiting outside. There is also an aunt in charge, waiting for the white handkerchief. Luo Chen had already entered the dormitory with one foot, and suddenly turned his face to look at the aunt in charge.
"Anything else?" Luo Chen's tone was impatient.
The aunt in charge was stunned, and hurriedly knelt down: "Back to the second highness, the slave maid is waiting for Baipa." ”
Luo Chen withdrew the foot he had walked in and stood in front of his aunt.
"You mean you're going to look at the Hongu room?"
The aunt in charge turned pale, this is not the time to be shy. These two princes are questioning her!
"The slave didn't dare. It's just that the rules ......"
Luo Chen nodded slightly: "This palace doesn't plan to round the house tonight, you can wait, if you can't wait for Baipa, you don't have to go back." ”
Then he turned around and entered the dormitory.
The aunt in charge looked at the curtain lowered in the dormitory in a daze. What should I do? It was too sudden. Nothing like this has ever happened. Any palace concubine who enters the palace has to go through such a thing. How did he change when he got to the second prince! How should she explain to the queen? Everyone knows that the Second Highness is the queen's eyeball, and the Second Highness himself said it so that people would not wait for Baipa. It has nothing to do with the side concubine, even if she sues, she is the unlucky.
For a while, my aunt didn't know what to do. Kneeling in the doorway, his eyebrows tightened.
When Luo Chen entered the house, Zi Mo and the others hurriedly came up to serve Luo Chen to change his clothes. Chonghua was already leaning on the edge of the bed and was drowsy.
Usually at this time, she has already gone to bed, and her biological clock is fixed, and she can't change it.
Luo Chen stretched out his hand and let the maids wait, but his eyes were fixed on Chonghua.
So, what's next?
The red python robe was replaced and hung on the screen. The four of Zimo bowed knowingly, saluted, and withdrew. Only Luo Chen and Chonghua were left in the house.
Luo Chen was not in a hurry, walked to the table, and looked at the plates with the buckled bowls, as well as the stuffy porridge bowls. It seems that Chonghua knew that he couldn't eat in front, so he deliberately left him food.
Luo Chen looked at Chonghua, who was napping on the bed frame, turned his face and drank porridge slowly.
No matter how slow a bowl of porridge is, there is a time when it is finished. The last bite of porridge entered his stomach, and Luo Chen suddenly felt that he didn't know what to do next.
How can it be so troublesome. R1152
