Chapter 60: Between Ignorance
"What do you mean?" Xiao Hongcheng was suddenly unhappy.
Zhou Baolu didn't notice it yet: "I'm not interesting, you can't have more concubines, so every pit is very important, and it must be useful." ”
"Why can't you do more?" Xiao Hongcheng didn't understand at all.
"Because I don't want to!" Zhou Baolu said confidently: "How much more do you want to take?" A few are enough, what do you want, and no matter who you accept, you have to say yes! ”
Xiao Hongcheng couldn't laugh or cry, what kind of weird situation is this?
He reached out and pressed Zhou Baolu's hand: "Wait, why don't you want to?" Let's start with this. ”
"Uh......" Zhou Baolu shrank back, and the justification just now suddenly disappeared, she wanted to retract her hand, but Xiao Hongcheng held on to it firmly, and leaned over to look closer.
Although he was separated from the kang table, he was still very close, Zhou Baolu tried hard to fall back, and at first glance he was weak-hearted, but Xiao Hongcheng pressed on, his eyebrows were picturesque, and his eyes were a little thrilling, Zhou Baolu never thought that he would have such good-looking eyes and eyebrows.
She was stunned unconsciously.
Like a frightened deer who didn't remember to escape, Xiao Hongcheng only felt an irrepressible impulse in his heart.
His hand seemed to have his own will, gently caressing her face, Zhou Baolu shook, Xiao Hongcheng also knew that he had overpassed, but he was reluctant, and finally his hand was pinched on her round little chin and retracted.
Very intimate and restrained.
Zhou Baolu breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Hongcheng looked at her and didn't let go, and Zhou Baolu had to stammer: "That's ...... Then you...... Never mind if I want to...... Well, I'm ......"
Where did she say what to say!
There is no such force! This scoundrel!
Xiao Hongcheng's heart was already as soft as a freshly baked red date honey bean cake, at this time, seeing her stammering shyness, her big eyes were still filled with suspicious moisture, and she suddenly began to reflect on herself: Is it too fierce? Scaring her?
He didn't even dare to reach out and touch her head, for fear that she would cry, so he had to say: "Okay, good, I know the way, if you don't want to, then I don't want a side concubine, I only need you, okay?" ”
It's like coaxing a little kid! Zhou Baolu pouted: "I didn't mean that, I didn't say you can't have it, I mean...... Well...... I mean, not too much...... Yes...... Troublesome ......"
She couldn't find the words to say, she was taught that jealousy is a very bad character, although she obviously didn't want to, she didn't like this person's eyes to look at other women, but she couldn't speak, and she felt very conflicted, and she didn't know what to do......
And this scoundrel is still pushing her!
Xiao Hongcheng went to take her hand again: "Okay, I know the way, you don't have to say it." ”
Zhou Baolu hid his hands behind him, puffed out his cheeks to look at him, his big eyes could speak, it was full of accusations, Xiao Hongcheng wanted to laugh, and said to her: "I know what you think in your heart, this is actually nothing rebellious, as long as you ...... Well, as long as you don't say it to anyone, it doesn't matter, just tell me. ”
Zhou Baolu's eyes all turned into doubts, and the expression was so cute that Xiao Hongcheng wanted to touch it, but he didn't dare, so he had to put his hands behind his back and hide it!
Xiao Hongcheng thought for a while and said to her, "Do you know how old my third sister is this year?" ”
"Three princesses? It should be fourteen, right? Zhou Baolu didn't understand why his topic jumped so fast, but he was willing to change the topic, and there was no doubt that she was relieved.
"Then do you know how old my fourth brother is?"
It's so strange, Zhou Baolu thought about it for a long time, and vaguely remembered that the fourth prince seemed to be still a dumpling, so he guessed: "Two or three years old, right?" ”
"Well, when I was born in August, I was three years old. The princes and princesses in the palace, if they are all ranked, the third sister is the fourth brother, and they are eleven years apart. Xiao Hongcheng said.
Zhou Baolu nodded inexplicably, in fact, she didn't understand at all.
Xiao Hongcheng said: "In the past ten years, my father has not been fortunate to the concubines at all. ”
Yes? Of course, Zhou Baolu never thought of this, and couldn't help but exclaim slightly: "What's the matter?" ”
Xiao Hongcheng said: "I don't know, who dares to investigate the affairs of my father?" I just heard that ......" Speaking of this, Xiao Hongcheng looked around cautiously and lowered his voice, Zhou Baolu's heart was pounding, and he hurriedly stepped forward to listen to the gossip.
The emperor's gossip!
Xiao Hongcheng said: "It is said that my father had another person at that time, and he only wanted him, so he didn't even go to the harem. ”
And such a thing? That...... In this case, that sweetheart is not a concubine in the harem? Outside? A married woman?
Wow, big gossip! Earth-shattering! Zhou Baolu was shocked!
Xiao Hongcheng nodded and said: "I don't know who Lu Dao is, I didn't dare to ask, I only know that after Lu Dao, it seems that the person abandoned his father, and his father was sad...... In the year my fourth brother was born, I added six younger siblings...... Tsk, the spirit of my father's dragon horse......"
The second bombshell exploded, and Zhou Baolu's face was blank for a while, and he didn't even react to Xiao Hongcheng's rebellious words, someone would abandon the emperor! That's the emperor, the supreme in the world, the palm is like a picture, the ruler of the people dies, there will be a day when he is abandoned?
Who would dare? Who is so bold?
Zhou Baolu subconsciously shook his head and asked, "Really?" ”
Xiao Hongcheng spread his hands: "I just heard about it, it is said that ...... Who dares to inquire about the emperor's affairs? Even if I heard this, I also knew the Tao by no accident, I told you this secretly, you must keep it secret! Don't let anyone know the way. ”
"Uh-huh." Zhou Baolu nodded again and again: "I know that my mouth is tight...... How did you hear about it? And what about later? How's that guy? Will His Majesty not let her go? ”
Zhou Baolu was simply worried about the mysterious man.
"Don't ask any more!" Zhou Baolu got so close, her big eyes sparkled expectantly, it was so cute when she looked over, Xiao Hongcheng almost couldn't help touching it, so she had to cough and say, "Don't come here!" ”
Zhou Baolu realized that he was almost about to pounce on Xiao Hongcheng, and hurriedly went back to sit down with a red face, Xiao Hongcheng said: "I said this, I am telling you, my father can not be a concubine, and I can too!" As long as...... As long as you don't abandon me! ”
He asked very seriously, "Will you?" ”
Zhou Baolu's little face was about to burn, she suspected that the top of her head was already smoking white, she retracted, sat upright, twisted her fingers, and didn't dare to look up.
Xiao Hongcheng asked, "Will you?" ”
Seeing that his hand was about to reach over, Zhou Baolu quickly shook his head.
Xiao Hongcheng asked again: "Really?" ”
"Uh-huh!" Nodding like a chicken pecking rice, his attitude is very upright.
Xiao Hongcheng was finally satisfied: "Okay! ”
Zhou Baolu thought about it, but couldn't help asking: "What about the sister of the Wu family?" ”
Xiao Hongcheng said: "Look at what Lin Ge Lao means, if it is suitable, it doesn't matter if you are accepted as a side concubine." ”
Zhou Baolu was a little worried: "But if you are accepted as a side concubine, then you ......" She wanted to say that Xiao Hongcheng didn't go to have sex with her, which is a bit unreasonable, right?
But she is still a thirteen-year-old boudoir daughter, and she can't say this even if she is killed.
Xiao Hongcheng smiled: "Don't worry about this, I have a plan, you just need to remember what you promised me today." ”
"Oh......" Zhou Baolu nodded to herself, she really couldn't ask anymore, she still was an ostrich, buried her head, just don't know what to do!
She was not very skilled in changing the subject: "Uncle, who do you say that person will be?" It must be beautiful, right? ”
But this topic is indeed what she is interested in, who hasn't read two books in private, those flowers before the moon, the story of the talented woman is really overshadowed under this secret, which scholar's identity can be compared with today's son?
What can be regarded as the champion among scholars, even if it is ten, it is not as good as a little finger of the saint!
Xiao Hongcheng is not very interested: "Who knows Lu Dao, if you want to talk about beauty, is there still a shortage of beauties in the three palaces and six courtyards?" I can't see it. ”
Who does the Holy One want, can he still come? Zhou Baolu is really curious, that person must have a reason that it is absolutely impossible to fill the harem, even the imperial power is helpless, this alone, Zhou Baolu is already puzzled, and what is even more puzzling is that since he has been entangled for ten years, what happened to make the saint heartbroken? Could it be that the man died?
The fourth prince is less than three years old, three years ago, did anything big happen? Zhou Baolu tried hard to think about the people who passed away that year, they couldn't be too old, their status was noble, and they must be beautiful......
To no avail!
Xiao Hongcheng was amused to see Zhou Baolu frowning, with a tangled face, obviously falling into that secret and couldn't pull it out, she really had the strength to pay attention to these things!
After thinking about it for a long time, he really couldn't think of it, Xiao Hongcheng said twice that he didn't dare to ask, and Zhou Baolu knew that this matter was really fruitless, and he was really a little reluctant.
It's so tangled! It's so worrying!
Xiao Hongcheng was depressed, she was just talking about an introduction, why did she pay so much attention to that introduction and forget herself? He's almost starting to be jealous of his father!
At this time, the courtyard outside suddenly became lively, the little county lord, Wang Jinxiu and Zheng Ling came in together, and the little county lord in the courtyard called: "Xiaolu Xiaolu, what are you doing hiding in the house as soon as you come, come and go shopping with us." ”
Zhou Baolu hurriedly said to Xiao Hongcheng: "Don't come out if you hide." Then she hurried out of the room, for the sisters were the most acquainted, and had little courtesy and taboo with each other, and if she did not hurry out of the room, they would surely have come in by themselves.
Let them see Xiao Hongcheng in her room, even if nothing happens, they will laugh to death!
Wang Jinxiu said: "Let's go, we dug a pit in the back to roast sweet potatoes, and we're waiting for you!" ”
"As for it! Baba came here to roast sweet potatoes, and besides, even if you roasted sweet potatoes, what are you in a hurry, just arrived, and you won't stop? Zhou Baolu really convinced them.
Zheng Ling smiled: "Isn't it the baked sweet potato you said?" The last time you said that you would bake it for me, there was no news when you turned around, and this time I arrested you, where are you going? ”
Zhou Baolu was caught by them together, and had no other way but to bake sweet potatoes with them.
Although the courtyard of Geumsan Villa is not big, it is halfway up the mountain, and the piece of the mountainside is even divided into Geumsan Annex
The trend gradually has a slope, and the road is no longer a bluestone road.
Walking into a small forest, it was already lively, and sure enough, a pit was dug and firewood was lit, and the eldest princess was already on the side, watching people burn the fire, and Wu Yuehua was actually on the side.
Come to think of it, Wu Yuehua, who the eldest princess came forward to invite, then Wu Yuehua must be counted in the eldest princess's pluck, since she has already appeared like this, it is obviously impossible for the eldest princess to leave her alone.
Zhou Baolu knew it in her heart, and nodded to greet her.
Wu Yuehua saw Zhou Baolu and the little county lord and others coming together, and she felt uncomfortable at first, and then remembered that if she hadn't seen the opportunity quickly this time, she would have been hopeless for the rest of her life, all because of Zhou Baolu, where would she have a good impression of Zhou Baolu.
In her grandfather's mansion, she had already learned a lesson, her grandfather had talked to her a lot, she had already known her future whereabouts, and she understood that Zhou Baolu was no longer a competitor.
His Highness's future ......
Perhaps it was because the lesson this time was so profound and the contact with power was so unforgettable, Wu Yuehua seemed to have grown up a lot overnight, she understood how unrealistic the girl's fantasy was, and even she understood that it was actually unrealistic to treat Zhou Baolu as a competitor.
My grandfather was very cold, but every word was very reasonable, and after thirty years from the time he rose to the time he entered the cabinet and took charge of the world, he must have seen much more far-reaching than himself, and the path he chose and drew for himself was also clear.
His Royal Highness will be the future crown prince! Wu Yuehua believes that her grandfather's willingness to say this means that the matter is almost a foregone conclusion, and she is likely to become the prince's concubine.
My grandfather's words were like an empowerment: "Your background can only give you such a status, you can't underestimate it, especially now, you don't even have the ability to match such a status!" ”
Because of this sentence, Wu Yuehua didn't sleep well for several nights.
Because of these words, although she felt uncomfortable in her heart now, she still smiled and walked a few steps to greet them.
Wang Jinxiu's performance is the most obvious, her suspicion is almost on her face, which is embarrassing.
Zhou Baolu hurriedly smiled and interrupted: "Sister Wu is neater than me!" The previous child said to invite the sister of the Wu family to come to my house to try, but there was something at home, and it was busy, so I didn't invite it, but fortunately, the eldest princess gave me a chance to make up for it today. ”
The little county lord smiled and said: "Ouch, you have such a big face, this is the eldest princess's treat, how did it become that you made up for it, when did you prepare something, please us in the next post, it can be regarded as making up!" ”
The eldest princess immediately defended her sister-in-law: "Hey, Xiaorou, don't bully Xiaolu, I'll prepare something for Xiaolu to treat, I'm willing, what's wrong with you!" ”
There was a burst of lively gags, and the embarrassment just now was gone.
The maid boiled tea, and some candy, Wang Jinxiu said: "I didn't bring anything else this time, I brought sugar, you can taste it, many of them are not available to the emperor." ”
The fragrance of sweet potatoes had already wafted out, Zheng Ling dropped the sugar, picked up a stick to check the fire, Zhou Baolu smiled: "Be careful, don't cry when you burn your hands." ”
After a while, the fire was extinguished, the sweet potatoes were turned out, and they were black and loaded on plates, these noble girls looked at them and laughed, no one dared to reach out, they were all looking at Zhou Baolu.
Sakura hurriedly smiled: "It's hot, the slave is here to peel it." ”
Peeling off the black skin, and sure enough, revealing the golden sweet and soft inside, Zhou Baolu gave it to the eldest princess, and everyone's maids stepped forward one after another, learning from Sakura's appearance.
At this time, a group of girls came over on the path, the one who started was slender, a little weak, and walked over and said with a smile: "Eldest sister, what are you stealing to eat, hiding here." ”
The eldest princess's face was pulled down: "Xiao Sanfu, what's the matter with you?" You are not young anymore, you only stare at what people eat all day long, Concubine Qing is hungry for you every day, no wonder you are so thin. ”
Even if she knows that she has this name, Zhou Baolu is also smiling secretly in her heart, the third princess is the daughter of Concubine Qing, with the support of her mother, she is naturally different from other princesses in the palace, the eldest princess has never let people say this, the two naturally never look down on each other, and they are like fire and water.
As soon as you come up, you can quarrel.
The third princess came over and smiled: "What is this, so dirty, how can you eat it?" ”
A mocking look on his face.
The girls she brought also laughed, and a long-faced girl came over, took a look, covered her mouth and smiled: "I heard my nurse say, this is called sweet potato, and it is only eaten in famine years, and it is fed to pigs on weekdays." ”
Everyone laughed, and the eldest princess stood up without warning, and simply slapped the girl in the face, covering her face with a look of horror.
Obviously, I occasionally see it in the palace on weekdays, and I don't have much contact, and I don't know the style of Princess Lu Dao at all.
The surroundings quieted down, and the third princess was stunned for a moment, and immediately jumped to her feet: "Xiao Dafu, why are you beating people?" ”
Zhou Baolu stood aside and smiled: "Third princess, Your Highness is still in the other courtyard." ”
The third princess was stunned again, and the eldest princess was reminded and immediately understood: "The eldest brother was ordered to lead the guards to protect the courtyard, and he won't leave this month!" ”
She smirked: "How's it going?" Do you want to call Big Brother to try it? ”
The third princess was not convinced: "Who is it, and he beat someone without making a move, even if he invited the eldest brother to judge, it is the same." ”
The eldest princess smiled and said, "There is a kind of sending a maid to invite, I'm waiting here, to see if my brother is facing you or me!" ”
Zhou Baolu held her forehead, the style of the eldest princess, how can she look like a person from the palace, she didn't turn a corner when she spoke, it was just: You are waiting for me to call my brother to beat you! of rhythm.
But the third princess was really cowardly, so she didn't dare to send someone to invite Xiao Hongcheng.
Zhou Baolu came out to play the round again, in the end, it was Xiao Hongcheng's sister, although she was not born to a mother, she kindly built a ladder for the third princess: "Sister Zhang's words are a little inconsiderate, the princess palace is □ honorable, that kind of word should not be said in front of Her Royal Highness the princess, but this is a little disgrace, the eldest princess has taught her a lesson, and there is no need to invite Her Royal Highness." ”
Unexpectedly, the third princess was also a no-brainer, she didn't dare to provoke the eldest princess, but glared at Zhou Baolu fiercely: "Who are you, and what qualifications do you have to talk to me?" ”
Zhou Baolu saw that she didn't understand kindness like this, so she was not polite: "I also spoke in front of the saint." ”
As soon as the third princess choked, the eldest princess burst out laughing.
Xiao Rou also smiled without scruples, her father is King Cheng, the 'first royal brother' of today's empire, not to mention that Concubine Qing dare not provoke if she has nothing to do, even the saint has to give five points of face, Xiao Rou is not much worse than the princess when she goes in and out of the palace.
There are many people here, and when it comes to shooting, the third princess doesn't dare, there is a criminal department in the palace, here, there is no such manpower, but when it comes to verbal ridicule, she can't say it.
The eldest princess is unreasonable, and in the end she occupies the identity of the eldest sister, and now she is in the eldest brother's courtyard...... The third princess was angry, and immediately hated Zhou Baolu.
The third princess sneered: "You are very sharp-toothed, I advise you to be careful, don't bump into my hands, no matter who you talk to at that time, you can't save you." ”
What a disaster!
However, Zhou Baolu was not frightened, only smiled slightly and ignored it.
Seeing that the third princess was bored and walked away with someone to beg, Zhou Baolu withdrew her gaze, and just happened to bump into Wu Yuehua's inquiring eyes.

A few words about yesterday's chapter.
Feelings have a youthful stage that focuses only on feelings and has no substance. Xiaolu is at this stage, her current relationship with Orange, in fact, is still a bit like a family, there is a good feeling, but it is not really unforgettable, their real contact is not much, let alone substantive contact, so Xiaolu can let go immediately after thinking that they are impossible, just crying and mourning, if the big orange is really Huang Gongzi, then this is just a glimpse of the girl's generation in the long river of life, after a long time, occasionally think about it, and smile slightly.
So at this time, Xiaolu just knew that she was likely to marry him, and she also felt that she liked him, so she would consciously plan for him, including taking concubines, relatively speaking, Xiaolu was just a bystander, and she was not in contact with the real event, and she was not in this relationship at all.
In a word, she is still young and has no awareness of this. Big Orange is seventeen years old, and her life experience is richer than hers, and she can realize the significance of this matter one step earlier than her.
