Chapter 45 What a Removal of the Mill and Killing the Donkey
Thunder and lightning are combined, and torrential rain is like a note.
It was the first time I had seen such heavy rain in the imperial capital, so it can be seen that this day is really not suitable for travel.
On the way back, the third brother and An Chengyan no longer rode horses but rode in the same carriage with me, I lifted the curtain and looked at the people fleeing in the rain on the street, and said worriedly: "The rain is so heavy, it must be muddy outside the city, I don't know where the master and they have gone." ”
An Chengyan smiled and said: "The fourth lady is really overflowing with love, she is locked in a cage, but she is worried about whether other birds have escaped. ”
The third brother, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said: "On a whim, it will snow in August in northern Xinjiang, and I will come back if I can't stand it anymore." ”
I said: "Not necessarily, the world often says that anyone with a dream is great, then Master Li Miaomiao, Master Wang Wendao and Master Ruozhi are all people with perseverance, and they will definitely be able to make great achievements in the north this time." ”
At that time, I just said it, but I didn't expect that the three people who went north this time not only did a great job, but also preserved the Wang family.
The third brother didn't believe it: "The three of them are almost two hundred years old, what can they do?" ”
An Chengyan said: "The fourth lady has always had a unique vision, and this king will wait and see." He was drenched in some rain, and his hair was a little messy, and some of it was attached to his forehead, so that his lips were red and his skin was white, and his eyes were like torches.
I couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder Qin Xiang's two daughters are devoted to His Royal Highness King Yu, His Royal Highness's coaxing words are really a set of sets." ”
I followed his gaze and saw Xu Rongchan holding an umbrella outside the car door, thinking that he felt sorry for her and was half wet, and opened his mouth to call her in, but he pulled him to his side, and his warm big hand tightly clasped my waist.
I couldn't move.
Seeing this, the third brother became angry, his wrist struck, and the dagger in his sleeve came out of his hand, only to see a silver light shooting towards An Chengyan's face!
An Chengyan's figure flashed and hugged me to hide on the other side of the carriage, and the third brother turned to follow, kicking out like lightning, but he shook an inch away from An Chengyan's shoulder, and kicked it on the pillar of the carriage!
Xu Rongchan opened the curtain and said, "His Royal Highness King Yu, Third Young Master, Miss, there was a puddle just now, have you turned a few people upside down?" ”
I sat down between the two of them, sweating profusely, and said, "No, no, let's keep going." ”
Xu Rongchan's face was a little weird, probably because she was about to sit on An Chengyan's lap when she saw me, and said, "Miss is still more restrained, it should be yours and can't escape." ”
…… I can still shout that it's not what you think?!
An Chengyan said in a low voice: "To make a long story short, it was not my intention to save the two daughters of Qin Xiang that day, and this king only reacted later and was designed." ”
The third brother stared at his claws pinching my waist, and his eyes were about to erupt with fire: "This has nothing to do with the sister, please let His Royal Highness King Yu let go." ”
I squirmed and said, "That's it, you made me uncomfortable." ”
An Chengyan turned a deaf ear and said: "Cheng Rui's adoptive mother, Concubine Li, left some things for Cheng Rui, which was related to the Qian Shu Rebellion back then, and might kill Prime Minister Qin. ”
Something to do with money? Want Qin Xiang's life? Could it be that Qin Xiang also participated in the rebellion?
It is rumored that Qin Xiang and Concubine Xian secretly rescued the royal family in the palace to avoid a palace massacre, and the daughter of the Qin family was named a virtuous concubine, and the Qin family's status in the court has skyrocketed, and the Qin family can be described as the first hero of the Qianshu Rebellion and the first beneficiary.
What is it that makes Concubine Xian and Qin Xiang so jealous?
So Qin Xiang wants to marry his daughter to An Chengyan, the purpose is the eighth prince?
"What is it?" I asked.
"What do we have to do with it?" Third Brother Road.
"This king doesn't know, Cheng Rui can't speak, but he has a great memory, and Concubine Li is also afraid that Concubine Xian will deal with her, so she told Cheng Rui the hiding place of those things......" His face gradually turned hideous, "Cheng Rui saw his biological mother being shot when he was four years old, and he was forced to become a bargaining chip in the harem dispute!" ”
He said to the third brother again: "There may be evidence of Concubine Xian's death in Lingtang. ”
Is he looking for an alliance? I wondered; "How do you know?"
He said: "After my mother passed away, Cheng Rui and I were sent to the Queen Mother for a period of time. ”
The Queen Mother again?
"The Queen Mother's words, how do you know that she is not a liar?" I can't believe Xu Rongchan's words.
"The fourth young lady is really smart, and the Queen Mother's words cannot be fully believed, but she really can't see Concubine Xian and Qin Xiang controlling the government." An Chengyan glanced at the carriage door, "Otherwise, how could you let Rong Chan come to look for you two?" ”
The third brother's vigilance decreased slightly: "When the first emperor was there, the queen mother's mother, the Lu family, was quite favored, and it was once extremely glorious, and then helped His Majesty ascend to the throne, which should have been more brilliant, but it was robbed of the limelight by the Qin family in the Qianshu Rebellion, and it has gradually weakened in recent years. ”
"Third brother, how do you know?" The third brother has always disliked these disputes, when did he know so clearly about the struggle in Beijing?
An Chengyan chuckled: "Fourth Miss is really ...... Do you think that the third young master really made friends when he went in and out of those wine and tea parties? ”
The third brother said with a slightly red face: "Ah Mo doesn't need to wade into this troubled water, he doesn't need to know too much." ”
So that's the case, the third brother is afraid that knowing too much will be bad for me, and he is willing to take risks himself, with his wisdom, he must have found something...... But in the current situation, I'm afraid that if I don't wade into this troubled water, the Queen Mother will not agree.
"What the third young master has seen and heard is probably just the appearance, have you ever wondered where the mystery is?"
"You mean......" I couldn't help but tighten my fists, "Harem? ”
"Exactly."
"But now Your Majesty has given you and me a marriage." I had the opportunity to enter the palace when I entered Beijing, but now I don't, think about it, that day, the virtuous concubine seemed to welcome me into the palace, but the queen mother was very opposed, why is this?
An Chengyan set his eyes on the third brother, the hot breath he exhaled made my ears itch, and his voice was low and pleasant: "Isn't there a third young master here?" ”
I was taken aback and felt that he was simply hateful: "How can you make the third brother a eunuch?!" ”
The third brother and An Chengyan both looked stupid, An Chengyan said: "Fourth Miss, do you know the twelve guards of the forbidden army?" ”
Of course, I know that the government military system is now being implemented, and a number of military offices have been set up in various parts of the country, and the government military governments in various localities have selected them from among the peasants in the prefectures and counties where they are located, and they have been recruited into military service in their twenties and exempted from military service in their sixtieth years. However, the military government only manages the household registration and daily training of the government soldiers, and can neither command the government soldiers nor command them in wartime. The soldiers of Fanshangfu, led by the generals of the Sixteen Guards, commanded in wartime, in the hands of the generals selected by the saints, this time my father returned to southern Xinjiang, and he took the tiger talisman to transfer troops from the southwest hinterland.
The Twelve Guards of the Forbidden Army are dedicated to protecting the security of the Imperial Capital and its surroundings, and the most elite of them is the personal guard of the Holy Lord, the Divine Tiger Guard.
Daddy used to be the general of the Divine Tiger Guard, is it ......
"The Divine Tiger Guard will recruit troops around the Dragon Boat Festival." Sure enough, he wanted the third brother to enter the palace!
The third brother has no intention of being powerful at all! I saw that he seemed to be tempted, and hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness King Yu, with your one possibility, you want my third brother to be in danger?" ”
An Chengyan also didn't force it: "This king is just showing the third young master a way." ”
Pointing a way? Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and the slightest carelessness on this road will be shattered!
"Third brother!" I shook the third brother's arm and stopped, "Don't even think about it, Daddy won't agree!" ”
The third brother's ink eyes were as clear and translucent as morning dew, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he said, "Don't worry, the third brother has his own plans in his heart." ”
As soon as I saw him smile like a little fox, I knew that he must have been persuaded by An Chengyan.
Over there, An Chengyan pinched the meat on my waist hard, and said worriedly: "Fourth Miss, this king has just been fined for being fine, you are like this, this king is afraid that the palace will not be able to support it in the future." ”
Scold...... This is a successful demagogue of my third brother, and his heart is full of joy?
I didn't want to pay any attention to him.
At this time, the carriage stopped, Xu Rongchan lifted the door curtain, and I rushed down first, and the heavy rain was pouring down, drenching my heart cold.
Xu Rongchan hurriedly gave me an umbrella and asked, "Wasn't it good just now, how did His Royal Highness King Yu provoke Miss?" ”
I glanced at An Chengyan and said, "He thinks I'm fat and says that Yuwangfu can't support me!" ”
This was just heard by Debao, who was standing at the door, and he showed a signature smile and said: "This is not a coincidence, just now Princess Wenxin ordered someone to send a cart of food, and the slave has asked Father-in-law Fuxiang to bring the eighth prince, and he may have a good meal today!" ”
Princess Wenxin? Deliver a cartload of food?!
This is the big pit that Master dug for me! To eat or not to eat, that's the question......
I was struggling, and when I saw An Chengyan and the third brother talking and laughing, they looked like the two brothers, and I was angry: The third brother was sold and still had to give the number of money?
The third brother twisted the rain on his body and suddenly said, "Huh? The guards in the house have changed? ”
When I saw it, there were really many people missing, and the Holy One was not afraid that we would run away?
Debao said with a smile: "The third young master is really observant, these days, Your Majesty saw that the young master was studying hard, so he withdrew the Yulin army and transferred some forbidden troops from Beicheng. ”
This...... It doesn't seem to have anything to do with hard study, right?
An Chengyan smiled inscrutablely.
Na Debao said again: "Your Majesty also said that the fourth lady has made significant progress in learning these days, but it happened that the sweaty horse that paid tribute from the Western Regions a few years ago gave off a foal, and it was rewarded to the young lady as a mount to and from school." ”
As he spoke, he ordered someone to take out a horse, with red brown hair, dexterous ears, a pair of eyes that were black and bright, and a handful of snow-white hair between the eyes, showing its nobility everywhere in the body, I secretly applauded, it was really a peerless horse!
But that's weird, isn't it?! I made such a big fuss, no penalty but no reward? Or is it such a big reward?!
Isn't the saint's brain broken?!
Even An Chengyan couldn't understand his father's intentions, and his brows furrowed into pimples.
Seeing that everyone was surprised, Debao continued to smile: "Your Majesty also said that with this Miss Masi, there will be no need to make a carriage to go to school in the future." ”
I swallowed my saliva and said, "This ......"
Debao said again: "Your Majesty also said, this fat powder is too cheesy, and it is better for the fourth lady not to use powder in the future." ”
My gut tells me it's a pit!
Not greased and powdered, and riding a horse...... Isn't that asking me to parade the streets?!
I'm not going to do it!
"Father-in-law Debao, that is...... I think it's more comfortable to ride in a carriage, so why don't you go talk to Your Majesty?" ”
"Miss is really good at laughing, how dare a slave squeak in front of His Majesty," Debao cocked his orchid finger and said with a smile, "Your Majesty said, if the fourth lady is unwilling or forced, then copy the "Female Commandment" a thousand times. ”
Hehe......
What a unloading mill to kill a donkey.
