Chapter 10 The Mountains Have Trees, and the Trees Have Branches
One day on a clear day, Xiao Chong, the king of Ning, brought Duan Ming and his cronies to the prime minister's mansion. The Prime Minister's Mansion received Ning Wang Xiao Chong in the Qinxiang Building, facing the water across the mountain, for the single eaves rest mountain structure, the interior is spacious and bright, and the boxwood carving on the long window skirt is a distinguished guest.
"His Royal Highness King Ning, the prince's party will definitely fight back after this blow, and they have to be guarded against." Prime Minister Wang Jingtian picked up the teacup and took a sip of the famous Jiangnan tea given by King Ning, raised his eyebrows a little, and stared at Xiao Chong, King Ning.
Xiao Chong, King Ning, shot Han Xing with a pair of eyes, not angry and arrogant, "Uncle, my cronies have found a clue, that is, the next person they will deal with is you." This time to go to Huyang for disaster relief, they are bound to take action, they want to get rid of the king's relying forces. ”
Prime Minister Wang Jingtian sat calmly, as if this had been expected by him for a long time. Yes, the battle for the throne is a road paved with thorns and blood, trampling on the corpses of countless losers to finally reach the top.
Prime Minister Wang Jingtian glanced at Liu Zongnan next to him, and then said, "Your Highness, if things happen to the point of no return, you must abandon the Prime Minister's Mansion, then... Then it is enough to save you without hesitation and make sure that you can ascend to the throne of God. ”
King Ning's helpless thoughts caused him pain, born in the emperor's family, the killing of his brothers could not be avoided, even if you didn't fight, it didn't mean that you could spend every day safely and freely. On the contrary, if you fight, and if you win, you will at least be able to ensure that your life is worry-free.
"The king's cronies have returned, King An, they have taken action. We still have time to prepare our defenses, so that they think that their king is defenseless. King Ning Xiao Chong said coldly, "King An, his ambition is too great, and the departure of this king and the crown prince from Beijing is his best opportunity." Uncle, you have installed a lot of our people in the court, especially these days, with this king's understanding of King An's character, he must be eager to act. ”
Prime Minister Wang Jingtian nodded, and after careful consideration, he replied, "In case the Holy Dragon Body is no longer safe, can His Highness be the first to rush back to Beijing?" ”
Liu Zongnan glanced at Prime Minister Wang Jingtian before replying, "Your Highness, the three armies of the Praetorian Guard in the palace are under the command of Cao Xuan, these are all elite troops, and Zhang Zhongchang, the commander of the forbidden army, is a close confidant of King An, if they come to echo inside and outside, I am afraid that Cao Xuan will be difficult to hostile!" ”
"The king has mobilized a cronies in the northwest to quietly enter Beijing, and the day after tomorrow, the king will go to Huyang, and they will be stationed twenty miles outside the city in case of emergency. King An is ambitious, his father has long been on guard against him, and his father's eyes are mostly aimed at him, so we will help our father to destroy him. ”
Xiao Chong, King of Ning, said calmly, "The prince's confidant Lu Wangxing is also in the Northwest Army, and in just a few months, he has mastered the leading power of several armies, which must be guarded against. Moreover, the power controlled by the queen mother in the palace will help the crown prince to take power. The queen mother has long been accustomed to the harem for power and profit, as long as she does not disturb her, let her enjoy her old age in peace, and the king will return to her old man afterwards. ”
"Now that His Highness knows, the appearance will be easy to do." Prime Minister Wang Jingtian nodded and said to Xiao Chong, King of Ning, "Your Highness, when should you tell the Queen Mother about your marriage with Fusu?" ”
When Xiao Chong, King of Ning, heard Liu Fusu's name, his heart warmed a lot, she was his heart, "Uncle, Steward Liu, the marriage between this king and Fusu will be decided when this king returns from Huyang, but can Miss Fusu know about it?" ”
Prime Minister Wang Jingtian looked at Liu Zongnan with understanding, and Liu Zongnan said calmly, "I haven't told the little girl, just let my wife talk to her when I go back to the garden." Prime Minister Wang Jingtian was quite satisfied with this answer, and he nodded.
Since the prince Wang Jiaer knew Ning Wang Xiao Chong's thoughts about Fusu, he became a little estranged from him. Therefore, when discussing things in Qinxianglou, he was silent.
On this day, it happened to be the Prime Minister's Mansion to hold a banquet. The banquet was lively and vulgar, the sound of silk and bamboo was endless, the banquet was staggered, the words were happy, and the joy was harmonious. The male and female dependents in the house sat separately on the left and right, and watched the play in the West Garden, and the highlight was the applause.
Xiao Chong, the king of Ning, and Wang Jiaer, the prince of the world, walked from Qinxianglou to Xiyuan, passing through the back garden, only to see a girl wearing a green brocade shirt, the color is very bright, but under the reflection of her face, no matter how brilliant the brocade has been overshadowed, she is dancing, just Xiao Chong passed by carelessly, and fell.
Ning Wang Xiao Chong had no choice but to use light skills to hug the girl to prevent him from falling. As soon as she saw the handsome cold face, she looked at it in a daze, and pretended to be reserved and turned her face away. The girl said shyly, "Little girl, thank you for saving me!" ”
"Sister, why didn't you go to the theater at today's banquet?" The prince of the world, Jia'er, was surprised and asked, "Why are you here?" Did it hurt? ”
It turned out that this girl was Wang Miaomiao, the daughter of Prime Minister Wang Jingtian, and it was the eldest lady Du Lan. The eldest lady Wang Miaomiao asked His Royal Highness King Ning Xiao Chongfu to say goodbye, "If you go back to your brother, Miao Miao doesn't like to be lively, and wants to be clean in the garden." ”
The eldest lady Wang Miaomiao's eyes are always inseparable from Xiao Chong, she thinks that she is a famous lady in the capital, and a man will bow down under her pomegranate skirt.
It's a pity that the eldest lady Wang Miaomiao guessed wrong, Ning Wang Xiao Chong didn't look at her at all, saving her was just an instinctive reaction. Xiao Chong, King Ning, said expressionlessly, "This king wants to go and see the opera sung by the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion. And he walked away.
When everyone saw Xiao Chong, the king of Ning, come in, they all got up and saluted. He nodded and sat next to Prime Minister Wang Jingtian, and Prime Minister Wang Jingtian commented with him from time to time. Xiao Chong, King of Ning, nodded slightly every time, and his eyes were all on Liu Fusu, who was concentrating on watching the play.
Liu Fusu seemed to feel a warm gaze paying attention to her, she looked up and found that it was Xiao Chong, the king of Ning, her face turned red for a moment, and she secretly lowered her head, looking like a delicate rose waiting to be released.
The eldest lady Du Lan said to everyone that she would eat after watching the play. Duan Ming, King Ning's close guard, found Liu Fusu's little girl Rujin and whispered, "Miss Rujin, can you find your young lady?" My master has something to meet with your young lady. Rujin knew the identity of this inscription, so he nodded.
Rujin muttered in Liu Fusu's ear for a while, and Liu Fusu asked her mother for instructions, saying that she wanted to go back to the room to get a handkerchief.
Liu Fusu came to the south of the remote Yuanhu Lake in the prime minister's mansion alone, there was a tall plane tree next to it, and Xiao Chong, the king of Ning, was standing in front of the lake, standing with his back hands, leaving the world independent, and a beautiful jade son was waiting. Liu Fusu bumped into the deer in his heart, and his face turned red all of a sudden.
"It's coming!" Xiao Chong, King of Ning, looked at Liu Fusu gently, his mesmerizing eyes, any woman would fall for it. Liu Fusu nodded shyly, as if she was afraid that Ning Wang Xiao Chong would see through her thoughts.
"Fusu, look up at this king!" Xiao Chong, the king of Ning, raised her lowered head with his hand domineeringly, he bent down and arched his hand, and said solemnly, "The girl is very beautiful and beautiful, and she has fallen in love with her at first sight; I have admired you for a long time, and I am willing to hire you as a wife; If the rest is tempting, then join hands with the white head. ”
Liu Fusu couldn't calm down in her heart for a long time, the most gentle in her heart was deeply collided by Xiao Chong, and the joy in her heart overflowed.
"Ah Chong is so, I would like to make a covenant with my white head, and I will take the hairpin as a book." Liu Fusu looked at King Ning Xiao Chong with joy and said, then took the hairpin on her head and handed it to him. Xiao Chong, the king of Ning, took the white marble jade pendant he was wearing and gave it to Fusu, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
On the rockery on the north side of the lake not far away, the eldest lady Wang Miaomiao saw everything about them clearly and heard them clearly. She stamped her feet in anger, tears falling from her eyes.
The eldest lady Wang Miaomiao, as the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, is peerless, and she is a pearl in her hand, where can she stand the snub of Xiao Chong at the beginning of the year. Originally, the scene where she fell in the garden was directed by her early, but it's a pity that Ning Wang Xiao Chong didn't eat this set, but fell in love with the daughter of a lowly housekeeper.
The second young master, Wang Erxun, also saw it, so he stepped forward and asked, "Sister, isn't it uncomfortable to see that His Royal Highness King Ning has a heart?" The eldest lady Wang Miaomiao was angry in her heart, and scolded angrily, "What's the matter with you?" Fuck off, who's your sister? ”
The second young master, Wang Erxun, was not angry, and said to himself, "What kind of ability is this, dare to think about it or not." Wang Miaomiao was even more annoyed when she heard this, so she hurried back to Yiyuan.
"Fusu, the king of Japan will go to Huyang with your brother for disaster relief, you take care of yourself, and when the king returns, he will marry you." Ning Wang Xiao Chong looked at Liu Fusu with love.
Liu Fusu was still intoxicated with strong affection, and when he heard that his beloved was leaving, he was sad and reluctant, "Ah Chongke must remember what you said, I am waiting for your triumphant return in Beijing." ”
At dusk, the slanting sun shone on the figures of Xiao Chong, the king of Ning, and Liu Fusu on the blue waves on the lake, and the wind blew a pool of lake water, stirring people's hearts. Liu Fusu returned to the boudoir, she could no longer read calmly, she was quietly in a daze, and needed time to digest every word and expression that Xiao Chong, King of Ning, said to her.
In the garden of meaning, it is destined to be unpeaceful. The eldest lady Wang Miaomiao returned to the garden and sat in front of the window angrily, and the maids were waiting carefully, for fear that the eldest lady would not be happy to be beaten and angry.
"Why is Miao Miao worried? How do I teach you on a daily basis? Be moody and invisible, and always maintain a dignified and virtuous manner! "The eldest lady Du Lan walked into her boudoir, and when she saw Wang Miaomiao's anger, tears fell from her eyes, so she said to her." Mother, daughter just unwilling. Why can Liu Fusu climb to His Royal Highness King Ning? ”
, The eldest lady Du Lan was naturally very distressed when she saw that her beloved baby daughter had been wronged, so she said comfortingly, "How can you be so weak as a concubine of the Prime Minister's House?" If you want to get something, you can just get it. What's the use of crying in the boudoir? ”
Wang Miaomiao cried even more sadly when she heard this, "Mother, it's not that my daughter doesn't fight for it, but His Royal Highness King Ning doesn't even look at it, so it's useless for me to grab it." ”
The eldest lady Du Lan hated iron and steel, and said, "How can you think like this, you are my Du Lan's daughter, you can take whatever you want, don't worry." Wang Miaomiao wiped her tears and nodded solemnly.
