Chapter 223: Fate
As the cries gradually subsided, the outside returned to calm, after all, it was necessary to listen carefully to the situation in the hall, and there were officials to maintain order, and everyone did not dare to make too much noise. //、ǒM//
There is no drama to watch, Chu Zhen then returned to the table and sat down, it is now noon, he went out early in the morning to bid farewell to Shen Yu, he has not returned home so far, he is really hungry in his stomach, he poured two glasses of wine with a pot in his hand, and was about to greet Cao Yaxin, and suddenly woke up to the identity of the other party, he may not like to drink, and he couldn't help but smile slightly.
Cao Yaxin sat down silently, quietly looking at Chu Zhen who was raising a glass and drinking, her beautiful eyes were looking forward to the flow, rippling and rippling, and suddenly remembered what happened to him, and her heart naturally became indignant.
"Chu..., how are you doing?" Cao Yaxin asked softly, with a strong concern in her tone.
"What's the matter with me?" Confused, Chu Zhen suddenly laughed at himself: "What else, it is confirming that poem, the peach blossoms are still ...... Laughing spring breeze. ”
"I don't understand... Those ministers are certainly old. It's confused. Cao Yaxin snorted, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said softly: "Otherwise, I'll help you find the queen's ......." ”
"No, thank you for your kindness, since the court is like . Treat me like this, naturally there is his reason, it is mine, it is mine, not mine, and there is no need to force it. Chu Zhi said categorically, feeling that he had not yet fallen to the point of asking a little girl for help, it was undeniable that this was also a bit of a macho self-esteem.
Cao Yaxin nodded slightly, her bright eyes. But she was looking forward to it, obviously making up her mind, because she lowered her head, and Chu Zhen couldn't see her expression, thinking that she had rejected her kindness and hurt other people's feelings, and she was still a little ashamed in her heart, and her voice seemed to be a little loud, so she didn't scare her.
If the other party is a man, it is natural to drink a few glasses to accompany the gift, but it's a pity. She is a woman, Chu Zhen's eyes turned slightly, showing an apologetic smile, and habitually picked up a fat chicken leg and put it in the bowl in front of Cao Yaxin, but she promised for a moment, and finally didn't say anything, and drank to hide her somewhat embarrassed face.
"Idiots, villains." Such a greasy meal, how can people eat it, Cao Yaxin. Biting your red lips lightly, so as not to laugh cheerfully, a pair of eyes like water, gently rippling with the slightest ripple.
"Squeak, squeak."
Suddenly, an abrupt voice sounded, and the two people who were caught off guard were startled, and before they could see what was happening, they saw a person break out in a hurry, threw down a heavy bag, and said arrogantly: "I want this private room, you take the money and leave me immediately." ”
Then there was a message from outside the door. The man shouted eagerly, "Guest, you can't ...... like that. ”
Who, dare to be so domineering, Chu Zhen subconsciously frowned, looked up, and was suddenly a little stunned.
"Caiqing (Jing Chun), why are you!"
"Why are you here?"
The voice sounded in unison, and the two laughed very tacitly, thinking about it, Gao Shilin has long been particularly attentive to the incident of impersonating the prince, and now he heard that he is going to be interrogated in Kaifeng Mansion, how can he not rush over after knowing the news, it is unkempt outside, crowded and hot, with his temperament, he must not want to stay for a long time, and there are naturally not a few people who can think of going upstairs to watch, but Chu Zhen has set a suitable private room early, and there is a restaurant shopkeeper to block it, and the others are of course disappointed and ready to find another place, but Gao Shilin chose to break in.
"Jing Chun, you kid didn't say it early when he booked the room, so I suffered outside for a long time, do you know the guilt, there is still wine, meat, and ...... Xin'er. Glancing slightly at Cao Yaxin next to him, Gao Shilin was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but rub his eyes, wondering if he had recognized the wrong person.
"Look, you can come, can't I come?" Sensing Gao Shilin's strange gaze, Cao Yaxin felt a little ashamed in her heart, and couldn't help but be coquettish.
"That's right." A warm laugh sounded, and I saw Zhao Zongshi walking gracefully and lightly, and said with a smile: "It is naturally a good thing to meet thousands of miles away." ”
Chu Zhen hurriedly got up, and was about to salute and call, when he got a hint from Zhao Zongshi, he woke up and realized that there was a guy from the restaurant next to him, and immediately smiled knowingly: "Brother Zhao." ”
"I didn't expect to meet Brother Chu here, as well as Cao... Elder brother. Zhao Zongshi chuckled, blinked his eyes, and said in a harmonious voice: "It's really fate." ”
Knowing Zhao Zongshi's identity, Cao Yaxin had already stood up, her little face flushed slightly when she heard this, and she retreated behind Chu Zhen obediently, with a gentle and demure appearance, which made Gao Shilin feel surprised in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.
"Man, these two are my friends, you add dishes and wine, and the rest is left alone." Chu Zhen said with a smile. /
"That's very good, please wait a while." The guy breathed a sigh of relief, and looking at the clothes of a few people, he knew that it was either rich or expensive, and it was naturally best for no one to offend.
After a while, the guy put on the dishes and chopsticks, and retreated briskly, because the dishes did not move, and they were still steaming, so there was no need to change them, and sat down again, and the three of them drank a few cups, Gao Shilin couldn't help but ask: "Jing Chun, why are you ......." ”
Cao Yaxin was a little embarrassed, her delicate pink face was flushed, she just lowered her head and twisted her fingers, without the slightest intention of answering, in order to avoid misunderstanding, Chu Zhen of course opened her mouth and said: "I met Cao Jiaxiao near the Appreciation Building just now... Childe, I happened to meet the official of Kaifeng Mansion handling a case, and I was curious, so I came to watch it together. ”
"There are no outsiders, what are you doing so politely, right, Sister Xin'er." Gao Shilin said with a smile, his dark pupils gurgling, and his words had a deep meaning.
Secretly glanced at Chu Qian, Cao Yaxin hung her head and said nothing, her little face was hot and hot, even her crystal earlobes were flushed crimson, and her slender onion fingers were twisted even more.
Glaring at Gao Shilin fiercely, Chu Zhen smiled and said, "Zhao... Brother, the two of you are here, presumably for that. ”
"Father has an order, I have to come." Zhao Zongshi admitted, seemingly reluctant.
After all, it is a major event related to the future succession of the country, the society and the throne, not only the officials and the people are concerned, but even the clan that does not ask about the world on weekdays is also alarmed, and as the royal family Zongzheng, Zhao Yunrang, the king of Runan County, can justifiably ask the truth of the prince's affairs, as a father, if there is no appearance of this person, the position of the emperor in the future may fall on Zhao Zongshi, how can Zhao Yunrang be indifferent.
"Since it is a matter of the clan, the king of Runan County naturally has to be concerned." Chu Zhen said with a smile, judging from the records in the history books, Zhao Zongshi, the lucky one, that is, Song Yingzong in the future, does not seem to be very interested in taking over the throne, perhaps it is precisely because of this indisputable heart that Zhao Zhen finally made him the crown prince.
"Jing Chun, how long have you been here, and have you heard any useful news?" Comparatively speaking, Gao Shilin is extraordinarily enthusiastic.
"No, when I came, the front of the Kaifeng Mansion was already crowded with onlookers, it was simply difficult to enter, only to think of the heights, but unfortunately this hotel only has the second floor, not too high, I can't see the situation in the yatang." Chu Zhen said regretfully, after checking the terrain, it is not that there are no hotels with high buildings, but the location is not ideal, no matter how high it is, it is useless.
"It's a pity, I don't know if the thief showed his feet." Gao Shilin shook his head and sighed.
"Caiqing, don't talk nonsense." Zhao Zongshi said unhappily: "The matter has not been ascertained and announced, so it cannot be arranged at will." ”
Seeing Gao Shilin's aggrieved silence, Chu Zhi chuckled and said: "Brother Zhao is too worried, in my opinion, that person is indeed a thief, daring to come to Bianliang to swagger and deceive, and delusional to ascend to the sky in one step is simply self-defeating." ”
"Why did Jing Chun say this? What evidence is there? Zhao Zongshi asked confusedly.
"This has been rumored in the city for a few days, and I have paid attention to it." Chu Zhen smiled and said softly: "The person who claims to be the prince claims to be born to the exiled palace maid back then, and there may be some royal things as evidence, which seems very reasonable, but it is actually extremely ridiculous. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Gao Shilin hurriedly asked.
"Do you know how palace maids generally act when they send people away?" Chu Zhen asked with a smile, looking at Zhao Zongshi, as a child of the royal family, he should know more than others.
"It seems that it was handled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and I don't know exactly how to act." Zhao Zongshi said softly, looking a little embarrassed under Chu Qian's gaze.
"Never noticed." Seeing Chu Zhi coming to him, Gao Shilin immediately said, with a calm face.
Alas, I forgot, the powerful son never cares about these trivial things, Chu Zhen shook his head slightly, but he heard Cao Yaxin's voice on the side like a mosquito: "This... I know. ”
Sensing the scorching eyes of the three of them, Cao Yaxin's face flushed slightly, and she said softly: "When I entered the palace before, I heard the queen mention that the palace maids in the palace must be sent back to the people, not only to reach a certain age, but also to meet the prescribed time to enter the palace. ”
After a pause, Cao Yaxin said eloquently: "When they leave the palace, the chamberlain will tick their names off the palace roster, and will also give them a sum of repatriation silver, and at the same time send a vehicle to transport them back to their hometown, and finally tell their hometown officials to help them choose a good person to follow." ”
"I understand it now." Chu Zhi chuckled and said: "Such a careful act, if someone among the palace maids is pregnant, how can the inner servant in charge of sending it not know, it is the dragon seed royal vein, if it is me, let alone on the way, even if I have arrived in my hometown for several months and find out that I am pregnant, I must immediately inform the local officials, even if anything happens, it can't stop me from doing so, unless I ......." ”
"Unless, that's not official..." Gao Shilin's eyes lit up.
"Jing Chun's words are reasonable, giving birth to a dragon son, it is a celebration of the whole world, how can you hide it and not report it." Zhao Zongshi groaned, nodded slowly, and the doubts in his heart became more and more intense, the throne himself didn't care, but he definitely couldn't tolerate someone wanting to tarnish the dignity of the royal family.
"Actually, this matter is very easy to judge, just let him tell where his home is, and order the local government to tell him the situation at home." Chu Zhen smiled and said, "I don't know if the palace maid is married now?" If you are still single or in doubt, if you already have a husband, then it will be easy to do. ”
