Chapter 331: Cliff
People sleep in a safe place.
The sixth princess was removed from the palace the next day. The reason is simple, a woman cannot live in the same place with her fiancΓ© until she gets married.
Although Youguo is not such a custom, Luo Chen lightly explained that this is marrying a chicken with a chicken and marrying a dog with a dog.
Even the clothes and jewelry of the six princesses have changed to the style of the Shang Kingdom.
Although the sixth princess was not used to it, she obediently complied. After all, if you want to marry here in the future, you naturally want to follow the local customs.
The Emperor did not question Luo Chen's actions. On the contrary, he was more curious about Luo Chen's rare fight with Zhou Wenyuan.
Luo Chen was silent for a while about the emperor's question, and then told him bluntly.
Zhou Wenyuan's words were frivolous, and he had the intention of coveting the crown princess.
The emperor almost choked to death after taking a sip of tea. Zhou Wenyuan flirted with the crown princess? Or is it a thong guΓ² prince flirtatious? This is too far from the kang on the pot table, right?
But Luo Chen didn't say anything else, turned around and left.
The emperor didn't even have a place to research. You can't ask Zhou Wenyuan, have you provoked the prince to flirt with the princess? If you can admit it, there are ghosts.
Zhou Wenyuan has not been to the court for a few days and is sick at home. No imperial history dares to jump out and impeach without a long eye. Most of today's political affairs are in Luo Chen's hands. The Three Princes and the Nine Emperors were both accused of not having to go to court. There is such a prince in the entire hall. What that means is self-evident.
Shut up silently at this time.
On the one hand, he is the son of King Tongjiang, and on the other hand, he is the crown prince who has an eighty percent probability of inheriting the throne. There is no need to continue to be an official who is more important and who is still unclear.
The Ministry of Rites has already begun preparations for the wedding of the Nine Emperors. The arrow had to be fired.
But at this juncture, the Nine Emperor Princes disappeared.
The ambassador of Youguo was extremely dissatisfied, and had to meet the emperor several times to complain. But they were all stopped by Luo Chen.
Sitting in the courtyard of the embassy, Luo Chen listened with a cold face as the ambassador indignantly accused the Nine Emperor Princes of faux pas.
Gently skimmed the tea leaves from the teacup. Luo Chen looked up at the angry messengers.
"Have you said enough?" The cold words were like a basin of cold water that poured cold on the angry messengers.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this involves an alliance of two countries. How can it be such a child's play? The ambassador strongly disagreed with Luo Chen's cold attitude.
Luo Chen put down the teacup: "First." The Nine Emperors did not run away from marriage. There are still three months left until the wedding day. As long as he comes back from the wedding, he can go on as usual. Second, we have never asked about your princess. No matter what kind of embarrassing position she is in the country, whether she herself is really docile and lovely, we have never delved into it. As you just said, it's about two countries. If their lives don't go well in the future, who do you think is to blame for this? β
The ambassador was blocked. originally thought that the crown prince had never been to Youguo, and the princess's status in the royal family would naturally not be leaked. I didn't expect it. People don't just mention status. The princess herself is also mentioned.
Luo Chen threw the ambassadors in the courtyard with a cold face and left. In the days that followed, the ambassadors never saw Luo Chen again.
The whereabouts of the Nine Emperor Princes only said to the outside world that the Nine Emperor Princes were used to drifting on weekdays, and now they are going to get married. Let's go out and relax. There is also a version that he went to the major temples around the capital to pray for blessings.
Chonghua took the embroidery bandage, but his heart was gradually straightening out the places where the Nine Emperor Princes could go.
If it was before, it was very likely that he would go to Senshokaku. But the conversation between the two of them should have been very good that day. Unless the Nine Emperors also have thoughts about Qiu Gaoling, they will definitely not take the initiative to send it to the door. Again. Tongyang County is still closed, and it is necessary to check whether there is any residual Gu poison. I don't think I'm going to go to that kind of dangerous place. In the end, it can only be deduced that he really went to the major temples. But that doesn't fit the character of the Nine Emperor Princes at all.
"Sss Chonghua took a breath of cold air, patronizing and thinking about things, and felt pain when the needle pricked his hand.
Disappeared when he was engaged. This can already be regarded as a loss of face for the princess. If it weren't for Luo Chen pressing here, there might be a big mess.
"Absent-minded." Luo Chen lifted the curtain and walked in.
Chonghua hurriedly put down the embroidery bandage and greeted him: "It's early to come back today." β
"It's nothing important, I'm impatient to stay in the palace." Luo Chen frowned and stretched his arms to let Chonghua help him change his clothes.
Chonghua was thinking about things while unbuttoning it, suddenly. A meal in hand. He jerked his head up and looked at Luo Chen.
Luo Chen was taken aback by her sudden move: "What? Guess where Xiao Jiu is? β
Chonghua frowned and glared at him: "Why do you smell of fragrant powder." β
Luo Chen was silent: "Are you a dog?" The nose is so smart. β
Chonghua bit his lip and didn't continue to ask. Lowering his head, he quickly untied and peeled off Luo Chen's clothes. Take it out and let the bellflower be washed. I found a homely collared robe for Luo Chen to change into.
I didn't say a word more from beginning to end. After changing his clothes, he asked Qing Kite to come over with warm water to clean Luo Chen's face and wash his hands. He also instructed Zi Mo to prepare dinner.
Luo Chen looked at her inside and out. I didn't ask a word again.
What should a normal woman do at this time? Angry? Wrath? Crying? Deride? Chonghua has none of them. In fact, as long as she said a word, he would explain it to her.
He would tell her that he met the nobles who admired the flowers in the palace, said hello and left the palace. Nothing else. But Chonghua never spoke, as if this had never happened. With his head down, he looked at the embroidery in his hand. Embroidered stitch by stitch.
Luo Chen looked at her, and time passed little by little. Chonghua always looked at the embroidery.
They weren't like that in the old days. Although it is also a person embroidering and reading a book alone. But the atmosphere was not so cold.
Luo Chen snapped his wrist and leaned over.
"Why don't you ask me?"
Chonghua's subordinates paused, raised his head and looked at Luo Chen, his eyes were indifferent: "What do you want me to ask?" β
Luo Chen was stabbed by her cold tone: "Ask me where the smell of fragrant powder comes from." β
Chonghua glanced at him, lowered his head and continued to embroider: "If you really hide it from me, I won't be able to ask anything." Why bother to find yourself unhappy. You are the crown prince, and there are naturally many noble girls around you. If I ask them one by one, I will be exalting them too much. β
Luo Chen looked at her and smiled coldly: "You don't care like this? β
Chonghua put down the embroidery bandage in his hand and looked at Luo Chen seriously: "The reason why I came back is because you are here." Without you, I wouldn't have come back, even if I died. So, you don't have to tempt me in this way. If I had any other thoughts, I wouldn't be here. β
Luo Chen wrung his eyebrows: "When did I say that you have other thoughts." β
Chonghua said helplessly: "Don't you think I don't care about you? Is jealousy just care? Angry is what you care about? Have you done anything sorry for me, why should I doubt you. When I trust you, I trust you with all my heart. I'm sure you won't hurt me. Otherwise I wouldn't have made such a big bet. β
Luo Chen clenched his fists tightly, and his eyebrows never relaxed.
He doesn't understand and can't understand. In his opinion, if a woman is jealous, it means that she cares about him. But Chonghua just lowered his head and had a gloomy face. Obviously he was angry, but he didn't say a word.
is not noisy or noisy, but makes him feel blocked.
"I used to be a concubine, and now I plan to give you a side concubine. It's not a day or two since the queen mother looked at me unpleasantly. Either you come blatantly, why bother stumbling around the bush like this. I don't understand. Do you have to be in a good mood with the woman in her photo? Will life be smooth? Chonghua was indeed angry, but the object of his anger was not Luo Chen, it was the queen.
Fools can guess who found the noble girl who entered the palace to enjoy the flowers at this time.
Concubine Xian's focus now is on the belly of Lai Qianxia. The focus of Hua Guifei is on the six princesses. The three princes and the nine princes are not in the palace. The Seventh Prince, the Eighth Prince, is still in the fiefdom. At this time, the only one who can meet in the palace is the prince.
Chonghua was irritable and threw the embroidery out of the way. He glared at Luo Chen fiercely.
"That's why I hate the prince. Like rotten eggs, there are flies all around. I worry about it every day, what's so good. After that, he got up, no matter what Luo Chen's expression was, he dropped the curtain and went out.
Luo Chen was stunned. He had never seen such a chonghua. In his impression, Chonghua is either cold, or his mind is not bright, or he often comes up with good ideas, or he speaks amazingly. But he has never expressed his anger so clearly.
Such...... You care about him, right?
Zi Mo and the others stood at the door trembling. Dinner had already been served, but I didn't dare to serve it. The crown princess dropped the curtain and went out. The prince was still in a daze in the house. It's definitely not a good time to set up a meal.
Luo Chen sat for a while and suddenly got up. Running around on the big night. What to do in case of a bump.
Chonghua did run out. Straight to the water pavilion. Because there are only lanterns at the water's edge in Qinghui Garden. I lit it all night, for fear that someone would fall in when I passed by.
Cang Lan followed from a distance, and after confirming Chonghua's safety, she didn't follow up.
Chonghua sat on the stone bench on the edge of the water pavilion, although he was angry, he was more helpless.
He has no power, no power, no money, no background, and he really has no part of resistance except for letting the mermaid meat. At this time, Luo Chen's heart was still on her. But ten years, twenty years, thirty years, who can guarantee that a man's love can be kept fresh for a lifetime. What if one day Luo Chen gets tired of her and likes young and fresh?
Running away if you lose is definitely not her character. Look at the reflection of the moonlight and the dots of light in the pool. Chonghua clenched the fist in his sleeve tightly.
In ancient times, not having rights was the same as surfing the Internet without installing anti-virus software. It's so unreliable. You always have to have some rights to ensure that you are not bullied.
The stars twinkled in the night, and Chonghua's eyes became darker and darker. (To be continued) R466
