Chapter 153 Something Strange Happens
Seeing that the little father-in-law who was passing the decree came out alone, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Princess Xian, is she not busy yet?" If you go late and are blamed by the queen, don't blame the slave for not reminding you in advance. ”
"Our princess has something to do, and the old slave only knows about it, the little father-in-law can go back to the palace to reply first, and when our princess comes back, the old slave will send someone to send the princess into the palace to ask the queen for her guilt." Gonggong Fu just wants to take away this little eunuch for the time being, and then go back and find the princess.
The eunuch looked at Gonggong Fu suspiciously, before he came, Mr. Xu told him to bring Princess Xian into the palace, and he also specially explained that Princess Xian was afraid that she would find a reason to find an excuse to refuse to enter the palace, so that she must hold on.
If he goes back alone, wouldn't he be scolded by Manager Xu if this thing is not done, he thought about it for a while, and returned to his arrogant look: "The queen mother invites someone to enter the palace, it depends on whether you have time, father-in-law should hurry up and find it, and the slave should pay the errand as soon as possible." ”
"The little father-in-law's words are not right, the queen mother suddenly invites someone into the palace every time, our princess can't wait in the palace all the time to be summoned, the princess has gone out, and the old slave doesn't know where to find someone." Fu Gonggong straightened up and didn't bother to continue maneuvering.
The man was still not convinced, and continued: "Where did the princess go, can you, as the head of the first house, know if you don't know, it's better for your father-in-law not to lie." ”
Father-in-law Fu smiled: "Where is it difficult for the master to go, but also to explain to the minions?" Does the queen have to take a bus with you every time she goes? ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for him to reply, he went straight to the house, and when he was about to reach the door, he added: "Anyway, the person is not in the house, you can do it yourself." ”
As he spoke, he was about to instruct the guards to close the gate of the palace, and the little father-in-law hurriedly took a few steps up the steps, blocking the door that was about to be closed with one hand: "The slave has been ordered, and I must invite Princess Xian today, and now that the princess is not there, the slave is waiting in the palace." ”
After all, he is a person from the palace, and it is not easy for Father-in-law Fu to do things too much: "Since Father-in-law is willing to wait, then please come inside." After speaking, he waved his hand and summoned the two little maids in the yard and instructed them to take the little father-in-law down.
After arranging the people, Gonggong Fu went to the backyard and instructed the guards and maids in the palace to hurry up to find it, but the palace is so big, if people are still staying in the palace and there is such a big movement, Shen Jiahe would have come out a long time ago.
Gonggong Fu felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly went to the small courtyard where Bai Ying lived, and sure enough, he saw that she was helping the princess deal with some things in the inner house.
After waving his hand to send a few stewards back, Gonggong Fu asked with a cold face, "Where did the princess and Liuyu go?" ”
It's been so long, even if Gonggong Fu wants to lead someone to chase after him now, I'm afraid he won't be able to catch up, Bai Ying knew that he couldn't hide it, so he directly confessed: "Go and chase the prince, this will already be out of Linxian." ”
Father-in-law Fu was taken aback: "When did you leave?" ”
"Last night, I was afraid that you would not agree, so I didn't dare to tell you." Bai Ying was a little apprehensive, leaving her as an insider, she would have to be scolded by Gonggong Fu.
"Nonsense, it's just nonsense, you still don't hide it, why don't you continue to hide it." Gonggong Fu jumped to his feet anxiously, "When the prince left, he told the old slave to take care of the princess, which is good, and the person disappeared in a blink of an eye." ”
Bai Ying said about Shen Jiahe's entry into the palace before: "It would be troublesome for the princess to stay here, the queen and the crown prince are staring at the palace of the princess, and it is a good thing that the princess is leaving now." ”
Father-in-law Fu only felt that the corners of his forehead jumped, and he remembered that there was still someone outside who needed to be dismissed, so he had to hurriedly order: "You continue to pretend that you don't know about this matter, and you have to continue to look for people, and I will go and send the people outside first." ”
Bai Ying was really relieved, now that Gonggong Fu was in charge, he was much more relaxed.
Gonggong Fu went to the small living room in the palace to entertain him, and when he saw that the little father-in-law was using tea, he hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "I have sent someone out to find it, the Zhuangzi shop in the palace or something, I don't know when it will be this time, do you see this?" ”
The little father-in-law put down the teacup in his hand and frowned, but he still didn't move: "Don't hide it from my father-in-law, if I go back alone, it will be light to scold, and if I will be beaten again, I can't stand this body, so it's better to wait." ”
When Gonggong Fu thought of what Bai Ying said, his face was cold, this queen and the crown prince are not things, the prince is fighting bloodily in front, and they are even more difficult for his family.
"The princess has entered the palace yesterday, and I didn't expect the queen to be summoned again today, I guess I should have gone to the Zhuangzi outside, whether I will come back tonight or not is two words, the little father-in-law should hurry back and talk back, as long as you make it clear, you won't be embarrassed." Gonggong Fu still continued to persuade.
The little father-in-law shook his head: "I must wait today, Father-in-law Fu is busy, don't delay with me, you can just be busy." ”
Gonggong Fu gritted his teeth, knowing that people couldn't drive away, and it was not good to be lazy, so he had to order the little maids in the hall again: "Serve well." Then he turned and went out.
The prince heard that the queen sent someone to the palace again, in order not to appear in the situation last time, he came to Qiwu Palace early to wait, who wanted to have lunch before the emperor also drove Qiwu Palace, saying that he wanted the family to have lunch together.
"I also heard that the prince came to you, so I thought about coming over for a meal together, but our family hasn't sat together for a long time." The emperor smiled and said to the queen.
It is rare for the emperor to come over, and the queen is naturally full of joy: "The emperor has a lot of opportunities, so naturally he has no time to come to the palace of the concubines, and now a concubine is a blessing for the prince." ”
"The queen mother laughed, the father naturally wanted to see his mother, and he just used his sons as an excuse, and the relationship between his father and his mother was better than Jin Jian, which made his sons envious." Pei Shu quipped, no matter how anxious he was, he still had to do the kung fu on the face.
It's about that the plan to deal with Pei Yuan is getting closer and closer, the emperor has been in a rare good mood recently, and he has no worries about the imminent war, and he has seen the prince a lot more pleasing to the eye these days: "You kid, you dare to make fun of your father and mother." ”
The three of them sat down in the water pavilion of Qiwu Palace, and Gonggong Xu notified the people in the imperial dining room to put the lunch directly in the water pavilion, and the queen accompanied the emperor to eat, while laughing from time to time, she had already forgotten everything about Shen Jiahe.
Pei Shu secretly found an opportunity to ask Mama Xu, and learned that the father-in-law who went to invite Shen Jiahe set off early in the morning, calculating this point no matter what, it should have happened, could it be that there was something wrong?
He looked at the queen, and saw that she only cared about flattering the emperor at this time, although she was dissatisfied, but she couldn't say anything, even if the queen mother was the queen in the palace, she had to rely on her father's favor to live, the emperor had not come to this palace for a long time, and the queen mother had a hard time during this time.
If he mentioned Shen Jiahe's matter at this time, he was afraid that he would annoy his father and mother, Pei Shu thought about it and swallowed his thoughts.
waited until after lunch, when the emperor went to the apse to take a nap, and Pei Shu had the opportunity to talk to the queen: "Queen Mother, how long have the people you sent out, why haven't you come back yet?" ”
"The person has already gone to invite, last time she had already seen that something was wrong, she was a little hesitant and guarded against it, which was expected, but anyway, she didn't dare to disobey what Bengong said, you just wait with peace of mind." The queen said comfortingly.
"How can Erchen not be anxious, my father is asleep in the room now, if Shen Jiahe comes over later, he will bump into him again." Pei Shu finally gained some favor in the emperor, if he was unhappy because of Shen Jiahe's matter, wouldn't it be worth the loss.
The queen smiled indifferently: "Okay, this matter has been arranged in this palace, there will never be a situation that you are worried about, you go back and wait with peace of mind, and the palace will send you a letter immediately with news." ”
The queen invited Shen Jiahe into the palace again, this time not for the prince, but to ask Shen Jiahe for the crime, she can see that if Shen Jiahe is not removed for a day, the prince will have no interest for a day, and he will be involved by a woman all day long, what big things can he achieve in the future.
The prince was persuaded to leave, and the queen should also enter the inner hall to serve the emperor, she finally had this opportunity, but she had to behave well, but before entering, the queen still called someone to ask Shen Jiahe's situation: "No one has arrived yet?" ”
The palace man bowed and replied, "Yes, it may already be on the way." ”
"Keep an eye on it carefully, if you don't come out of the palace yet, you will hand it over to Mama Xu first." The queen commanded.
Until the evening, the little father-in-law who was waiting in the palace saw that the person was really not in the palace, and this time he didn't need to be urged by the father-in-law of Fu, so he hurriedly said goodbye and went into the palace to reply.
"What do you say? Princess Xian is not in the palace? After listening to the little eunuch's announcement, the piece of hibiscus cake that the queen held in her hand was instantly crushed.
The little eunuch shook his body: "The slave has been in the Xianwang Mansion for a whole day, and he has not seen the figure of Princess Xian, and the slave looks at the appearance of the Fu father-in-law, and indeed does not know the whereabouts of the princess." ”
She sent someone to invite her into the palace on the front foot, and she disappeared in the palace on the back foot? But where can she go? The queen's mind turned and she commanded in a cold voice: "Manager Xu, I went out of the palace to inquire about the news in the past two days, and the palace doesn't believe that a big living person can disappear out of thin air." ”
Xiaowu listened to the sound of smashing things inside, and the foot she had just raised was put back away, and she was holding the chicken soup that had just been made in the kitchen, and it was still steaming slowly.
Alai gave her a look and asked her to come down a little, the last time this maid was forced by the prince, but she didn't give her a name, which made Alai feel a little uncomfortable every time he saw Xiaowu.
"Tantrums, you'll come back later." Alai whispered.
Xiao Wu nodded and didn't speak, only lowered her head and looked at the things in her hand, although the prince didn't give her a name, he still ordered her to serve closely, but no one dared to embarrass her.
When there was no movement in the house, Alai kicked Xiao Wu's toes, Xiao Wu nodded hurriedly, and turned around and entered the house with his things.
"Prince, this is what Father-in-law Lu specially instructed the kitchen to make for you." Xiao Wu put the chicken soup on the coffee table on the side, and took a small bowl and sent it over first.
When a prince returned to the mansion, there was only one eunuch who cared about his life, Pei Shu smiled bitterly, and didn't take what she was doing, but only raised his eyes to look at her and asked, "Is it very pitiful to look at this palace." ”
His eyes were red and swollen, and he didn't know if he stayed up late or cried bitterly, Xiao Wu couldn't figure out why the prince in fine clothes and jade food would also be in pain, and there would be things that he couldn't get, but she didn't dare to say anything, she only lowered her head, and didn't even dare to look at each other.
Pei Shu waved his hand, he felt pitiful himself, why did he have to ask a maid, the lady and concubine of the Manchu Mansion, he couldn't find a person who could say something to his heart, not pitiful.
Xiao Wu looked at the chicken soup in his hand in a daze: "This soup? ”
"Take it down, this palace can't eat it." The prince waved his hand again, leaned back on the back of his chair, picked up the flask and took another big sip.
At this time, Yuan Yang and Yuan Xu, who had already set off, had already kept up with the large army on the march, but they were afraid that they would be discovered, so they didn't dare to follow too closely, and deliberately left a distance, in order to wait for Shen Jiahe and Liuyu behind.
Shen Jiahe and Liuzhen changed horses in Linxian, followed the marks left by the two in front of them, and copied the trail to catch up with the two in the evening.
Yuan Yang looked at the two people in front of him in surprise: "How can you be so fast?" ”
Liuyu looked at Shen Jiahe and explained: "I haven't rested all the way, and I have taken a shortcut, and I thank you for the marks you left." ”
"The princess has worked hard." Thinking that the army was not far away, Yuan Xu proposed, "We might as well rest on the spot now, and run like this, even if the people can stand it, the horses can't stand it." ”
But as soon as he finished speaking, the sky suddenly darkened, and a large dark cloud moved slowly, thinking that it would not be long before there would be a downpour.
