Chapter 91: Detention
The capital, the Imperial Palace.
Today, the Qingluan Hall is full of flowers, and the faces of the palace maids are all exuding crystal clear brilliance.
There is no other reason, just because the queen is in a good mood today.
It is extremely difficult for the queen to be in a good mood, and some palace maids have calculated that if the queen is in a good mood for one or two days in a month, it can be regarded as an eye-opener. The rest of the days, there is no place to talk about the hard ones.
But since the second prince returned to Beijing, the queen's happy days have been more and more like a day.
"That one, I want that white jade one." The queen looked at the plain face in the glass mirror, and the corners of her eyebrows and mouth were smiling. Pointing to the personal maid, she took a white hosta from the jewelry box and put it on her hairpin.
"Niangniang, the peonies in the imperial garden are blooming very well today, wouldn't it be better to have some flowers than these flowers?" The personal maid saw that the queen was in a good mood, so she said softly.
The queen was comparing two pairs of earrings, and when she heard this, her eyes lit up: "This is a good idea, pick a light-colored one and take it off." ”
Behind him, a palace maid hurriedly went to the imperial garden to fetch flowers.
The queen smiled and picked the tourmaline earrings: "It doesn't have to be too grand, it's all your own family." ”
The son went to the mountain, thinking that he would never see each other again in his life. The father's temper is stubborn, and the son's temper is more than that. It's obviously a trivial matter, why should the father and son make a fuss like that. Now that his son is back, his temperament has changed. Motherhood, don't mention being happy.
"By the way, did you send the newly made python robe to the second prince?" The queen suddenly remembered that she had made new clothes for her son a few days ago.
"Yes, along with the newly made sheepskin boots." The personal maid hurriedly returned.
The queen nodded, and was locked up in the mountain for four years, and her clothes, shoes and socks had to be made new. It's good to get rid of the mold too.
Then a palace maid brought a jade plate, with various peonies in the middle, and asked the queen to choose a hairpin on her head.
The queen looked carefully, and finally picked a white one.
Ping Suli likes to be plain, if it weren't for the mother's ceremony, he would have to wear bright yellow, I'm afraid that all the queen's clothes are clean to the end.
"Niangniang, Concubine Xian Niangniang has arrived." There is a small palace maid reporting outside.
The queen twisted her eyebrows without a trace, and when she turned her face, her eyebrows were already stretched, and her face was smiling.
"Sister." Concubine Xian wore a bright red brocade peony tassel skirt today, with a ruby head on her head, and a shallow smile on her well-maintained face.
"I'm just recovering from a serious illness, what's the toss. Can someone carry it over? The queen complained, and took Concubine Xian's hand and asked her to sit on the couch.
"It's just a cold, and I can't hold it anywhere." Concubine Xian smiled lightly and pressed the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief: "It's my sister, my complexion has been getting better and better recently." It can be seen that Chen'er is thousands of times stronger than those imperial doctors. ”
At the mention of her son, the queen couldn't help but smile on her face, but she still complained: "If it can give me peace of mind for a day, thank God." ”
Concubine Xian pursed her lips and smiled: "That's natural, Chen'er has been steady from the bottom." Where is like the third child, my heart is broken with him, and I don't see him being considerate of me. ”
As he spoke, his face darkened. There seemed to be tears in the corners of his eyes. The queen pursed her lips. But he didn't say anything.
"Queen Niang, Concubine Xian, Duchess of Qi has arrived." The little palace maid outside reported for duty.
"Mother is here, quickly." The queen mother suddenly got up, pulled the concubine and walked out.
Concubine Xian hurriedly took the silk handkerchief and pressed the corner of her eye, for fear of being seen.
In the flower hall, an old lady with silver hair was sitting dignified on a Ivy chair, holding a dragon-headed cane more than one person high, and was closing her eyes at the moment.
"Mother." The queen's eyes were full of joy.
The old lady opened her eyes slightly, saw the queen and the concubine, and slowly stood up. The palace maids who were standing aside and waiting hurriedly reached out to help.
Unexpectedly, the old lady pushed it away. The queen hurriedly stepped forward and held the old lady's hand.
"Mother!" The tone was a little complaining, but there was more pity in his eyes. The queen knew that her mother was stubborn, and she was the most willful.
Old Madam Luo waved her hand: "That's it, don't let me salute." ”
The queen smiled: "Is the mother going to torture her daughter?" ”
"You're the Queen." Old Madam Luo glanced at the queen faintly.
The queen still smiled: "But the daughter is also the mother's daughter." ”
Old Madam Luo sighed: "That's it, whatever you want." ”
Concubine Xian had been standing at the door, waiting for Old Madam Luo to sit down before she slowly stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "Aunt is well." ”
Old Madam Luo's eyes opened a slit, looked at Concubine Xian, and said after a while, "Sit down." ”
Concubine Xian frowned slightly and sat aside respectfully.
Old Madam Luo looked at Concubine Xian's body full of red and gold threads, and then looked at the queen's goose yellow and white jade, and couldn't help but sigh again.
"Where's the Chen?" The grandson was sent to the mountains for four years, and the old lady finally looked forward to the stars and the moon. This stinky boy didn't know to go to the Mansion of Qi to meet his grandmother, but the old man was worried about him.
The queen pursed her lips and smiled: "Chen'er was called by the emperor to go to the imperial study when she came back, and I haven't seen him in the past few days, so I must have something to do." ”
Old Madam Luo nodded lightly, no one is older than the emperor. If the emperor detains him, there must be something important.
Concubine Xian, who was sitting on the side, had a smile on her face, but her hands in her wide sleeves were tightly clenched into fists.
The three of them sat and drank tea and laughed, only waiting for the emperor to descend before the family banquet could begin.
In the imperial study, Luo Chen casually threw a book of folds on the table. It's been a while since I came back, and I've been locked up in the imperial study every day to read the folds. He wouldn't even let the door out.
Although I expected it early on, I didn't expect it to come to such a point.
Originally, the imperial study was an independent three-room room, just to detain him here, his father actually changed the western suite into a warm pavilion, and he didn't have to go back to the palace at night, so he slept directly in the imperial study.
came to Xiaochun and went home, and Xiaojiu went to Jiangnan. There wasn't even a single person in the palace who could speak. If it weren't for Zhou Wenyuan's rabbit cub, would he be suffocated like this?
"Tired, rest for a while." Luo Chen frowned and put the pen down. The little eunuch who was grinding ink next to him immediately went outside to call for tea and came in.
There is no shortage of food, a lot of drink, but they are not allowed to go out of the house. To this day, he can see how much his father resents him.
"Knock knock" window frame someone knocks again.
"Who?" The little eunuch shouted sharply.
"Senior brother, are you still alive?" Outside, the sound of Koharu laughing.
Luo Chen raised his eyebrows: "Why do you have time, it's hard for you to remember my senior brother." ”
Lai Xiaochun laughed twice: "I just slipped out of the barracks, do you think you are the only one who is being detained." My dad is going to play me to death. ”
The general of the town? This is highly likely. Like back then, he was a warrior who blocked a hundred, and he didn't pick up a son and pinch it? It is said that there are many sons of the general of Zhenguo, but Xiaochun was born to serve as the governor of the second line, and is known as a rare martial arts wizard who has never been seen before or after 500 years. Just such a sentence is destined to come to Xiaochun's hard childhood.
Pinching the white jade wrench in his hand, Luo Chen smiled faintly: "Does the general know that you are coming to the palace?" ”
Lai Xiaochun scratched the window: "Can you open the window and talk?" ”
Luo Chen was stunned: "You can't just come in." ”
Lai Xiaochun pouted: "There are guards at the door of the imperial study, is it difficult for me to break in?" ”
Guard? Luo Chen frowned and glanced at the little eunuch waiting next to him. The little eunuch hurriedly bowed his head and pretended to be invisible.
Luo Chen glanced at him and said lightly: "Are you a shadow guard?" ”
has been with him for these days, except for Momo and taking care of his daily life every day, I can't see that this person is deeply hidden. It is definitely not an ordinary person who can serve and supervise him in the imperial study, and he can only be a shadow guard.
The little eunuch's eyes drifted away, and he said no.
Luo Chen leaned on the rattan chair and looked at the little eunuch with interest: "Don't tell the truth, believe it or not, Lao Tzu makes your life worse than death?" ”
Lai Koharu: ...... Senior brother, you've been holding back too hard these days, aren't you......
The little eunuch knelt on the ground with a puff and kowtowed to death with a clatter. I saw blood on my forehead.
"Ask the second prince to let go of the minion, the minion is really not a shadow guard."
Luo Chen didn't stop him, just watched him kowtow to death with cold eyes. One at a time, two times, three times, four times...... This kind of knocking method doesn't faint, it's definitely that the shadow guard didn't run.
"Well, if you say no, it's not. In case something happens to the palace, you are the one who bears the responsibility. Don't worry. Luo Chen said lightly.
The little eunuch who is kowtowing is stunned, Nima, this multiple-choice question that is dead both horizontally and vertically, is there an option C? !
Lai Xiaochun laughed outside the window, but the paws of scratching the window did not stop.
Luo Chen sighed, got up and walked to the window and pushed it open. I saw that Lai Xiaochun was wearing a royal blue silver silk jacquard arrow sleeve, a green silk crown, a face like warm jade, and a bright look.
Yes, I usually look dusty, and it's worth a few dollars when I clean it up.
Lai Xiao* just looked at Luo Chen's eyes and knew that he didn't think of anything good. couldn't help but glance at him, and hurriedly got down to business.
"Zhou Wenyuan's rabbit cub has moved."
Luo Chen pinched his hand on the wrench and paused, and said lightly: "How many private soldiers have you hoarded?" ”
Lai Xiaochun almost jumped up: "Hoarding private soldiers? If I hoard private soldiers, I will go into the palace to sue you. I took someone and flattened him. It's Chonghua! He sent someone to Jiangnan to inquire about Chonghua! ”
Luo Chen frowned: "Is he full?" ”
Lai Koharu shrugged: "Probably." I heard that your cousin is pregnant. He was still out there asking about Chonghua. Could it be that the aftermath is not over? ”
Luo Chen pinched Bai Yu's wrench, and only raised his eyelashes faintly after a while: "It may also be murderous." ”
Lai Xiaochun was stunned: "Kill people and kill people? ”
Luo Chen glanced lightly at the golden-armored guard standing at the door of the imperial study: "Why didn't the Ling family have it?" ”
Lai Xiaochun's originally smiling face suddenly turned cold: "You mean ......?"
Luo Chen smiled coldly: "It's a pity, his abacus may not succeed." ”R1152
