Chapter 19: The Great Calamity
Duanmu Qingchen looked at the tray and white silk in the eunuch's hand in a daze, this group of eunuchs was the first group of living people he had seen since he entered this palace! Moreover, their outfits should be from the previous dynasty.
And the eunuchs also saw him, and immediately looked shocked!
"Bold fanatic! Dare to break into the harem! Grab it and send it to the worship room to be a eunuch!" the eunuch shouted, and the eunuch behind him immediately rushed over.
When Duanmu Qingchen heard this, what did you want to arrest him to be a eunuch?
"Chase!" The eunuch behind shouted sharply, and several little eunuchs immediately ran after Duanmu Qingchen.
Duanmu Qingchen was running fast in front, what the hell is going on?!
Duanmu Ruifeng and Duanmu Yankang, who were standing on the wall, looked at the already empty ground below, and after that strange wind, Duanmu Qingchen disappeared without a trace!
"No, it's not good! Come out, something happened!" Duanmu Yankang immediately crawled into a layer of cold sweat all over his body.
Duanmu Ruifeng's face was already pale, and he stumbled in panic and fell directly from the wall: "Ah!"
"Ruifeng!" Duanmu Yankang hurriedly jumped down and helped Duanmu Ruifeng up, "Are you okay?" Duanmu Yankang looked at Duanmu Ruifeng nervously.
"Trouble, trouble. Duanmu Ruifeng couldn't care about the pain in his buttocks, grabbed Duanmu Yankang's arm, and blushed in a hurry, "What should I do, what should I do?
Duanmu Yankang was also sweating: "Go and tell your father!"
"No! Father will kill us!" Duanmu Ruifeng grabbed Duanmu Yankang's arm, already crying in fright!
Duanmu Yankang was also afraid: "But is it just for the prince's brother to disappear like this?!"
Duanmu Ruifeng stood up while crying.
"Let's go!" Duanmu Yankang pulled up Duanmu Ruifeng and ran in a panic.
A purple robe loomed on the wall, he was as transparent as a mist, and the clear autumn sunlight penetrated his shadow, bringing out a seven-colored neon. He stared at the Duanmu Yankang brothers quietly for a while, and then disappeared into thin air. At the end of this temple, calm is restored again.
Today is the most relaxing day since the reign of Emperor Cheng. Don't you think Duanmu Qingchen doesn't like to play? Don't forget who gave birth to Duanmu Qingchen.
Since the Mid-Autumn Festival Imperial Banquet, Emperor Cheng deeply feels that his body is really not as good as before. In the past, if you drank a bowl of ginseng soup, you could continue to stay up all night. And now, even if I have a ginseng, I still have back pain after sitting for a long time.
Duanmu Qingchen's performance during this period of time made him extremely satisfied, and his whole heart could be placed firmly on his chest, so he didn't have to worry about having no successor to the Qianchao.
It is not easy for an emperor to hand over the power in his hands. Emperor Cheng is not the kind of person who loves power, and his unease is a responsibility to the people of the Qianchao, and he is not at ease to entrust the Qianchao and the people of the Qianchao to the next successor.
Now, he can be completely free of these concerns. If there is anything that is not at ease, it is the candidate for Duanmu Qingchen's crown princess.
While Duanmu Qingchen and several princes were resting in the backyard, he invited General Wei Chi and Lin Xiang to drink tea in the Zen courtyard together. The tea in the courtyard is fragrant, the birds are chirping, and people are in the peace and tranquility of nature.
The little novice poured tea for Emperor Cheng, General Wei Chi and Lin Xiang.
Emperor Cheng smiled at the old general Wei Chi: "Old general, right minister, look, how is the prince recently?"
General Wei Chi gave a thumbs up: "It's really like two people." The crown prince is becoming more and more like the emperor, and he is becoming more and more like the emperor. ”
The right minister also nodded seriously, he originally thought that the prince was stubborn, but after those cases this year, Lin Jingzhi's view of Duanmu Qingchen was completely changed, it is normal for people to be playful, but Duanmu Qingchen can be described as wise and foolish. Play is playing, but there is no ambiguity in doing this business.
When Emperor Cheng saw that Duanmu Qingchen had been recognized by the two old ministers, he felt proud and more at ease. This is equivalent to the promise made by General Wei Chi and the right minister here that after Duanmu Qingchen takes the position, they will do their best to assist.
"The prince has really impressed the old man this year. Lin Jingzhi stroked his long beard with a calm and solemn expression, "His methods are very advanced, and sometimes, they will work better than some of our conservative methods." "Lin Jingzhi is not old and stubborn, and he will not stick to the rules.
General Wei Chi also nodded again and again, in fact, he didn't know what Lin Jingzhi said, but he fell in love with Lin Jingzhi's son, so what his in-laws said was right.
Emperor Cheng's smile is even more, who doesn't like to hear others praise their son?
He took a sip of tea and pretended to be worried: "The prince has not yet chosen a concubine, I am worried that his heart is not stable enough......"
The old general Wei Chi smelled some smell in Emperor Cheng's words, and peeked at the mailbox Lin Jingzhi.
Emperor Cheng continued: "This Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival was originally held for the prince, but he also slipped down the mountain, do you say this is not angry? Do you think among these hundred officials, which girl is suitable to be the crown princess of the prince?" Emperor Cheng smiled and looked at the right side.
Lin Jingzhi picked up the teacup and turned his face slightly sideways: "Let the old man think about it." ”
Lin Jingzhi obviously didn't answer, Emperor Cheng was angry, and the anger was not that Lin Jingzhi didn't understand what he meant, but that Mu Qingchen was not reserved enough on weekdays, look, he was disgusted by Lin Xiang. Although Lin praised the crown prince's ruling well, he did not recognize him as a serious gentleman.
The prince is indeed too wild on weekdays, he likes to flirt with the little palace maid in the palace, and he went out to provoke the goddess of the Nine Gates, hey, in short, it is difficult to say.
The old general Wei Chi squinted his eyes and laughed: "The candidate for the crown princess is far away in the sky, close at hand! I see, Lin Shiyue, the daughter of the right minister, is suitable! Hahaha——"
The right minister drank tea silently, feeling that he couldn't escape.
The recommendation of the old general Wei Chi, Emperor Cheng also had a step, and immediately looked at the right minister: "Oh, right minister, how about letting Shiyue enter the palace to accompany the queen to appreciate the flowers in the imperial garden another day?"
Lin Jingzhi knows that this family affair cannot be avoided, after all, the other party is Emperor Cheng, if you always shirk, it is equivalent to not giving the emperor face, who in this world dares to do this? No one dares.
He sighed in his heart and was about to agree, but when he saw the two princes Duanmu Yankang and Duanmu Ruifeng running in a hurry, there was a trace of doubt and ominousness in his eyes.
"Father-Emperor-Father-" When the sound arrived, Duanmu Yankang dragged the crying Duanmu Ruifeng to run in a panic.
Emperor Cheng and General Wei Chi also looked puzzled.
"What's the matter?" Old General Wei Chi looked puzzled, and besides, he hated men crying the most, and he frowned when he saw Duanmu Ruifeng crying.
"Plop!" With a sound, Duanmu Yankang and Duanmu Ruifeng knelt directly in front of Emperor Cheng, more like they were afraid of weak legs, Duanmu Yankang also had a crying face, "Father, the son should die, he didn't stop the prince's brother, the prince's brother came out, something happened......"
"What?!" Emperor Cheng immediately took the case, this sudden fright really surprised him!
