Volume 1 Dongchang Yan (Sweet Pet) Chapter 25 The Dementia Prince
Yongning Palace——
Leng Qingtang smiled lightly and looked directly at Wan Yuyao, whose facial features were slightly twisted, and his expression was calm as usual. The thin lips opened lightly, and the voice was like a deep moan, with a stunning magnetism:
"Wechen can be said to be heart-wrenching to Niangniang, but Niangniang wants to speculate like this, which really hurts Wechen's heart. Look, Niangniang's golden hairpin is a little crooked, and Weichen helps Niangniang straighten ......"
After finishing speaking, Leng Qingtang raised his hand, pinched the golden hairpin on the side of Wan Yuyao Qingsi's slender fingers, gently pushed it twice into the bun, and smoothed the slender and vertical gold thread on the golden hairpin before slowly withdrawing Su Mei's fair palm.
A series of movements were carried out leisurely in silence, and an inexplicable and obscure aura swirled between the two bodies, which was extremely sultry. Wan Yuyao's heart trembled suddenly, and her anger was extinguished in an instant.
The annoyed and angry look on Qiao's face completely disappeared, and Wan Yuyao and Leng Qingtang looked at each other. But seeing that his handsome and Zhuozhuo face was indifferent, his crystal eyes were slightly narrowed and implied a smile that seemed to be nothing, and there was always an incredible power entrenched in the deep and dark eyes, which made people take a look at it more, and the body and mind seemed to be sucked in, and the ideology and consciousness would be hopelessly fallen.
Childopathic, the graceful body of the warm jade leaned hard against his chest, Wan Yuyao unhappily raised the cherry lips, shook her shoulders vigorously, and the golden silk was compared to the string of gold beads and tassels on her shoulders immediately made a light and crisp sound.
"It's not that you don't understand, that old guy has only been dead for a few days, you asked the palace to find the emperor to recommend the successor of your mother's family, this is not clear to send words to other people's mouths, as if the fat poor of the palace is worried about the ministry and deliberately harms people!"
"That's the case, but if you think about it, what you understand may not be unknown to others, and now no one is coming forward to avoid suspicion. The one in Chuxiu Palace is pregnant, if she relies on the dragon heir to recommend officials to the emperor, the emperor may not be willing to rely on her. Niangniang, you also said at the beginning that the court employs people, and no one is as reliable as using your own people. When everyone retreats, you do the opposite, and the more you can show that you have nothing to do with Zhong Siyou's case. The mother's heart is wise and clean, but you can imagine the truth...... ”
Wan Yuyao turned around and paced a few steps in silence.
Leng Qingtang's words are indeed reasonable.
In terms of background, Xu Yuanjiao is not as powerful as her mother's family, but now that she is pregnant, it is equivalent to having the royal power of exclusive privileges.
Regardless of whether the Xu clan was concerned about the vacancy of the official secretary's book, if any official in the court first seized the opportunity to grab the position of the official secretary's book, and then colluded with the Xu clansmen, wouldn't the power of the Xu family's mother family become bigger and bigger?
What's more, just from the bloody tree, it is not difficult to see, the position of the official secretary is indeed a fat difference!
After thinking about it for a long time, Wan Yuyao made up her mind:
"Well, find a suitable opportunity to read a few words with the emperor. There is a cousin in the mother's family who is now working in the Ministry of Industry, and there are several staff members under him. First draw someone to the ministry to fill the hole, and when this gust of wind passes, the palace will send my cousin to find a reason to replace him! ”
"It's all up to the mother."
Leng Qingtang arched his hand, and his long eyelashes hung down blocked the essence of his eyes.
"However, the matter of this palace ......"
Wan Yuyao was halfway through her words, and her eyes stared at Leng Qingtang.
"Niangniang is relieved, and the minister naturally keeps Niangniang's entrustment in mind at all times......"
Wan Yuyao smiled softly, and her jade hand with the fragrance of orchids put on the back of Leng Qingtang's plain white hand, and her eyes and smiles flashed with a few charms.
"I haven't been here for a long time, but I'm finally seeing you today, so let's have lunch in this palace!"
Junyi's facial features twitched slightly, and Leng Qingtang slowly withdrew his hand and shrank into the wide sleeves of his robe.
"Niangniang, Weichen still has important things to do, so I won't bother Niangniang. You see, the piping of your chest has been scratched by the kitten's paws, in case the emperor comes up to accompany the mother to dinner, I am afraid that I will lose the demeanor of the mother. ”
The goal was achieved, and he didn't want to stay with this moody pink skeleton in this dazzling palace for a moment.
Wan Yuyao was born coquettish, but what Leng Qingtang really values is her identity as an "imperial concubine". Wooing her is nothing more than a shortcut to get her own way to gallop in the power field-
Wan Yuyao lowered her head in surprise and looked at her chest.
Sure enough, as Leng Qingtang said, two thin and long openings fell on the straight placket of the brown pink peony pattern. This Jin brocade is the most fragile, and an unsightly pleat will appear when it is pressed slightly, not to mention that she specially wears it to hold the cat.
"I hate it, your eyes are focused on this palace!"
Wan Yuyao pretended to be shy and scolded Leng Qingtang with a smile.
He smiled coldly and indifferently, turned his head and raised his voice, and instructed Gong E, who was waiting outside the hall:
"Come on, wait for the mother to change her clothes."
When Gong E came in, he had already bowed to Wan Yuyao:
"Please change your clothes, and Weichen will retire first!"
Wan Yuyao opened her cherry mouth and wanted to speak, and waved her hand at him listlessly:
"Go for it......"
Her expression was slightly dazed, and she still seemed to be extremely attached to the ambiguous feelings between the two just now.
This man is so fickle.
When he was warm, he was sympathetic, and he was so moved that the other party wanted to make a promise immediately.
When it's cold, it also rejects people thousands of miles away, and it's so indifferent and alienated that people want to die. But it's just that she can't ask for it, so she tosses and turns, but she also enjoys it.
——
The autumn colors are depressed, and the occasional gust of wind blows in the face, but there is a slight chill. The sky was exceptionally blue, and the red walls were clearly visible under the sky. The soft sunlight obliquely shines on Qiongyu, and the corners of the glazed tiles reflect the bright light of warm gold.
On the way back to Dongchang, Leng Qingtang strode with his hands behind his back and looked relaxed.
Cheng Wanli watched from the side and knew that it was done. However, since they are using each other, Wan Guifei will naturally not contribute to the East Factory in vain.
"Overseer, when I saw Concubine Wan this time, didn't she mention the matter of Chu Xiu Palace?"
Cheng Wanli looked around to the left and right, and there were no palace people on both sides of the long palace wall, so he approached the overseer, and his voice was kept to the lowest.
Although it is to achieve something, he always hopes that his grandfather's hands can be stained with as little unnecessary blood as possible.
Leng Qingtang smiled on his lips, raised his head and raised his gaze:
"Didn't mention it? If you don't mention her, she won't be the princess! Her little thoughts, in addition to squandering the treasury and silver taels on how to change the law, will only harm the harem! ”
"Then Master Xu, can you really not keep it?"
"Bao, must be protected! If her baby is a boy, it will be very useful for us in the future. Leng Qingtang replied very quietly, his voice was thin, as if the volume was squeezed out of his teeth.
The stakes are so high, how can you talk about them?
Feeling some pressure, Leng Qingtang turned to frown and muttered to himself:
"It's good to think of a delaying plan when you go back, not only so that you don't hurt their mother and son, but also temporarily hide Wan Yuyao's ......"
As soon as he passed by the corner door on the right, a yellow shadow suddenly ran out of it, and it hit him hard from behind Leng Qingtang.
Leng Qingtang stumbled, but fortunately he was supported by Cheng Wanli, but the person who ran crazy was knocked down by the huge recoil force and fell to the ground.
Cheng Wanli stabilized the Overseer, turned around and roared at the man:
"Something that doesn't understand the rules! Blind your dog's eye—"
Looking at it again, he and Leng Qingtang were stunned.
Curled up on the ground was a seventeen or eight-year-old man, wearing a bright yellow brocade robe, and a multicolored silk knot with a long spike palace silk around his waist. The head is tied with an official bun, the bun is tied with a purple gold and east pearl crown, and the feet are pedaled with yellow satin moire brocade small court boots.
He was born with a face like a crown of jade, sideburns like a knife, eyebrows like ink paintings, and although a pair of eyes were handsome and extraordinary, his eyes did not have any brilliance, and his eyes were scattered and dull.
It is precisely because of the existence of these eyes that even though he is dressed gorgeously, he does not show the slightest royal luxury and majesty. Not only that, but that cloudy and dull eyes and dull expression made it clear at a glance that he was not a normal person.
At this moment, the man who fell to the ground looked frightened and vigilant at the tall Leng Qingtang, holding the cloth tiger in his arms with both hands, as if he was quite worried that the doll in his hand would be taken away by the cold and tall man in front of him.
"It turned out to be His Royal Highness King Chen......"
Leng Qingtang looked directly at the royal nobles on the ground, and wrinkled his eyebrows and muttered to himself.
King Chen Hua Nanxin, the prince of today's saint. More than ten years ago, Emperor Jingxiao only ascended the throne shortly after he got drunk, but fortunately the palace maid in charge of the queen's palace became pregnant, and then he got this king Chen.
The fate of the palace maid in charge was not good, just gave birth to Lin'er was sealed Jieyu a few days after she was shocked by the destruction of the appearance of the water in the palace, and was demoted to the cold palace by the emperor's decree, and King Chen was brought back to Kunning Palace by the queen to raise him personally. But a year later, the queen became pregnant and gave birth to a prince, and it was logical for the emperor to be the prince of the East Palace.
After that, King Chen was in poor health every once in a while, and there were constant major illnesses and small disasters. When he was seven years old, after another serious illness, King Chen was left with the sequelae of dementia, and was sent by the queen to live in a remote courtyard in the corner of the palace "Wutong Garden", and sent a eunuch, two maids and two grandmothers to take care of him.
In fact, as early as ten years ago, there were rumors in the palace, generally speaking, the queen's palace maid was not treated by the queen after being fortunate by the emperor, but the emperor was looking forward to the dragon heir, and the queen did not dare to be too blatant.
Later, the queen had a crown prince, and she also began to look at King Chen unpleasantly, harshly and abused him everywhere, and drove a naïve and innocent child crazy.
Leng Qingtang has always been that those rumors in the palace are not groundless. The battle in the harem has been going on for a long time, and its tragedy is no less than the game between the officials and eunuchs of the previous dynasty, and it is comparable to the confrontation between the two armies.
The expression of indignation slowly disappeared from Junbai's face. Even if the stupid prince in front of him didn't know the imperial court's etiquette at all, Leng Qingtang didn't want to lose the rules of the monarch and ministers, so he bowed his hand to him and bowed his body:
"Weichen greets His Royal Highness King Chen."
The fool on the ground tilted his head and looked at Leng Qingtang with a puzzled expression, and suddenly there was a smirk, and the pronunciation of "babbling" in his mouth was indistinct.
I saw him holding up the cloth tiger high, as if he was showing off his good treasure to Leng Qingtang.
"Lord Wang! Lord Wang—"
There were a few shouts from inside the corner door, and then two old women ran out.
Seeing Leng Qingtang, they were blessed one after another:
"The slave has seen the overseer."
"Hmm." Leng Qingtang snorted lightly and blinked slightly, which could be regarded as a response.
Seeing this, Cheng Wanli put on a big black face, his eyes were round, and the contrast between the two Bai Cen Cen's eyes and his dark and shiny skin was obvious, so frightened that others didn't dare to look at him anymore.
"You are the palace people who take care of King Chen?!"
"Yes, yes......" The two grandmothers knew that this stupid prince was in trouble again, and they nodded to the master of Qianhu busily.
"How do you take care of your master?! He came out and ran around, and only then did he run into the Overseer, and it took you half a day to come out to find it! ”
"The slave and maid plead to the overseer......
"Forget it, it's okay......" Leng Qingtang waved his hand, directly interrupting Mama's trembling voice.
Sideways, his gaze quickly looked at the two grandmothers.
Both of them are around forty years old, wearing a red silver thread sprinkled palace robe, covered with a sleeveless moon-white short jacket, with a high bun on their heads, and plain silver butterfly beads and eight-treasure grates inserted on both sides of their buns.
Looking at their clothes and the silver jewelry on their heads, it can be seen that the color is bright and bright, and it is obvious that they have only been purchased for a long time.
Comparatively speaking, the fabric of the brocade robe on King Chen's body is obviously very old, and there are stains in many places, and it seems that he has not been changed for many days.
Considering that the palace people in Wutong Garden are not as good as other places, and it is harder to take care of a stupid prince, out of appeasement, the queen gives special treatment, so it is understandable that these two old palace people are dressed neatly and beautifully. But they don't do anything when they are on errands, and they don't take care of the prince's life, which is really a bit excessive.
Remembering that these two grandmothers were sent by the queen, Leng Qingtang was dissatisfied with them in his heart, but he didn't say much, so he only said in a deep voice:
"Quickly pick up the master and send him back to Wutong Garden, beware of the cold on the ground, don't freeze his body."
