Chapter 029: The Unknown Man
"Li'er" In Junlu's thoughts, the emperor suddenly called Junlu, although it was just a sentence, it also made Junlu's heart happy.
"Father, son, minister," Jun Lu said respectfully
"How long has it been since I tested you" The emperor looked at the son in front of him, it seemed that he hadn't seen him for a long time, and he had grown so tall,
"Father, it's been about three years," Junlu said a little choked,
"It's my negligence, even so, then I have a question, you and Yueli express your own opinions" The emperor didn't expect to ignore this son for so long.
"Yes, father," the two princes replied together.
The emperor casually asked about the law of controlling water and reassuring the people, and tested the two princes. The two talked eloquently.
"Lu'er replied more cautiously, although Yueli's answer was incomplete, but it was also relatively novel" After listening to the answers of the two people, the emperor thought about it a little, in fact, the answers were very good and very gratifying, each with its own strengths.
"Lu'er, as a reward, I can promise you a condition" The emperor looked at his son who had neglected him for a long time and said, although he didn't like him, but he was also his own child, and he should be rewarded.
"The retainers don't have anything else to ask for, but the retainers want their father to be able to accompany their sons more like the emperor's brother" Junlu was praised by the emperor and thought that his father finally agreed with him.
"No, Lu'er, everything else can be done except this pavilion, let's change it again, I'm busy with political affairs" The emperor replied directly without thinking about it
Junlu was immediately disappointed when he heard that the emperor refused directly, and thought about it again, his father was really busy with political affairs and couldn't accompany him more, so he thought about it for a while
"Father, the son wants to ask the father to give the son a pair of used treasures, so that the son can not see the father and the emperor. You can be by your son's side as your father's emperor," Junlu thought that he could have the treasures that his father had used
"Hahaha, okay, I'm right, but Li'er should listen more carefully to the words of the masters" The emperor obviously didn't expect Junlu to make such a request, and he readily agreed after thinking about it.
In this way, the scene of father and son getting along happily on the surface is actually secretly pregnant with ghosts.
"Father, you haven't seen Li'er's calligraphy for a long time, Lu'er wants to go back and get some calligraphy and paintings for his father to see" Junlu suddenly remembered that the calligraphy and paintings he had carefully prepared were all intended to be given to his father, but he didn't have a chance to see them, so he kept them in his palace. At this time, he wanted his father to take a look, so he said.
"Okay, let's go," the emperor said to Jun Lu.
After Junlu left, there was a slight sound in the study.
"Father, why are you so good to that monarch, and you give him the treasure like this, it's not too unlucky" The second prince seemed to hesitate for a long time before asking dissatisfied.
"Hahaha, Yueli, you are really, why bother to find unhappiness for yourself, just to make him happy, I have so many treasures that are not inferior to the one, not to mention that no matter what, even if I bother him again, he is also my prince, I don't want him to join forces with outsiders to take away my country in the future"
"Alright, alright, he should come back later, don't let him hear"
The emperor has always believed in the theory of ghosts and gods, even if some unlucky things have not happened to Junlu over the years, he does not want to see Junlu.
didn't know that these words had already been heard by Junlu, who was just sending calligraphy and paintings outside the door, and his face changed instantly.
I still remember that a few years ago, he asked Eniang: "Eniang, does my father dislike his sons?"
"How, who did you listen to? There are many people in the palace, don't believe the words of the palace maids," Concubine Li said with a sudden change in her face.
"Then why didn't my father come to see his son, and he just asked his son about his homework, and he didn't let his son go to his father to say goodbye?"
At that time, the young Junlu didn't understand, obviously he was also the son of his father, why other imperial brothers could and he couldn't, Junlu every time he saw other imperial brothers go to the Heart Cultivation Hall to greet his father, he could see his father almost every day, but he was often not allowed to see his father.
"Li'er, your father has to deal with the business of this world, and he doesn't have time to ask about these miscellaneous matters" Concubine Li raised her hand and touched Junlu's hair.
"Then why is the eldest brother and the second emperor so attentive?"
"Look, your eldest brother is not very good at homework, so they will be liked like this more, naturally it is different, then the law has to learn more from your imperial brothers, right?"
"Well, what E-Niang said is that Lu'er will study his homework seriously, so that his father and the emperor also like his sons" Junlu thought at that time, if he became better than the other royal brothers, and did his homework very well, his father would come to see him.
Then it seems that he gets up early every morning to read, and often reads until midnight at night, and even the master praises him for being extremely serious about his homework.
However, his father still did not come to see him, and he did not even ask anyone to send a word of appreciation.
Every time I asked E-Niang, the answer I got was that my father wanted a lot of things in the world, and it was inevitable that I wouldn't be able to take care of it, Junlu really thought that my father was really busy, and vowed to study more seriously, and I would help my father deal with these things in the future, so that my father could accompany E-Niang and himself more.
But the words he heard today almost cost Junlu his life, and he couldn't react at once, ominous person?
Scold! What an ominous person!
Junlu didn't expect his beloved father to think of him like this, and the awe in his heart suddenly turned into resentment and hatred, perhaps because of the years of blind waiting, he had accumulated a lot of complaints in the dark in his heart, and he was completely exposed at this time.
Junlu thinks that he needs to be quiet, but now he still has to show his usual appearance.
"Father, second brother, Lu'er brought the calligraphy and paintings of all these years, father, take a look?" Junlu held a stack of calligraphy and paintings, resumed his usual expression, and walked in excitedly.
The people inside had stopped talking when they heard his footsteps, waiting for him to go in, a picture of a father and a son filial piety, Jun Lu endured the unhappiness in his heart and introduced this picture scroll to his father one by one.
"The son sends his father to the emperor"
"The concubine sends the emperor"
Concubine Li and Junlu looked at the bright yellow in the distance, Concubine Li's eyes were full of feelings and entanglements, but what Junlu had in her eyes was not the previous awe and love, and the bright yellow eyes that were staring at the one that was not in sight were dark, bottomless darkness.
"Lu'er, go back, it's okay to get along with your father today," Concubine Li asked as she looked at her son, who seemed to have grown a little taller in front of her.
"Eniang, does my father really dislike his sons" Jun Law looked at the mother concubine in front of him and asked, he had always listened to his mother, so he didn't let his mother down and was sad and took his homework seriously, so that his father could no longer see his mother for himself.
"Lu'er, I'm talking nonsense again, how can my father not like you" Concubine Li squatted down slightly, looked at Junlu and said slowly, her tone was still as firm as ever.
However, Junlu saw the panic in the eyes of the concubine, and his heart was clear.
If it weren't for the fact that Junlu had listened to some words today, he seemed to be really naïve to think that his father was just busy with political affairs and ignored him.
"Eniang, then why do they always say that the son is an ominous person, so the father is reluctant to see the son of the minister" Jun Lu wanted to see if the mother concubine also thought that he was an ominous person.
"Ril! Who told you, this palace will definitely not be able to spare him, the slaves and maids in this palace have no rules at all, dare to talk about the master behind their backs" Concubine Li was shocked, pinched Junlu's shoulders with both hands and shook it.
"Lu'er told E-Niang that E-Niang will definitely make the cheap maid who chews the root of her tongue not die well, what an ominous person, bah bah, Lu'er is a blessed person for her mother, who tells you like this again, Lu'er must tell E-niang as soon as possible."
Concubine Li hugged her son tightly and admonished.
"Yes, Eniang" The armor on her fingernails stung Junlu, and also let Junlu know that the concubine in front of her was the one who was really good to her.
"Na Lu Er told Eniang, who said that you are an ominous person" Concubine Li looked at Jun Lu in front of her and asked, with a shadow sting that could not be seen under her eyes.
"Eniang, Erchen listened to Aunt Xiao'er" Junlu thought for a while and said a name, this Aunt Xiao'er is the consul's aunt who is responsible for taking care of Junlu, and she usually doesn't have any respect for Junlu, Junlu is really presumptuous when she thinks about it now.
Every time he threatened that if Junlu didn't listen to her, he would tell his father, so that his father would never like Junlu again, and Junlu was afraid that she would tell his father every time, so he always listened to her.
"Aunt Xiao'er? Come on, call Xiao'er to the front hall of the palace, the palace has something to ask her and all the palace maids and eunuchs on duty in the Lihua Palace, and the palace has something to say, "Concubine Li pulled Junlu and walked to the front hall."
In the courtyard of the front nave,
"Put two chairs here," Concubine Li pointed to the middle.
Soon, a table was placed in the front yard of Nuoda, with round chairs on both sides, and a plate of fresh melons and fruits and snacks and two teas were placed on the table.
Concubine Li and Junlu sat on one side, leisurely waiting for everyone to finish with snacks.
Concubine Li looked at the people in the courtyard, most of them were henchmen who had been with her for many years, and some were newcomers who had just been sent by the Internal Affairs Office.
However, whether it was his own person or someone else, since he dared to say such things to Junlu, Concubine Li would definitely not be able to spare him.
There is a column of palace maids and a column of eunuchs, but now they are all talking in a whisper about what Concubine Li is going to do, and suddenly called the big guys over.
"Niangniang, all the people in Lihua Palace are here," Xu Gonggong, the consul and eunuch of Lihua Palace, said with a sharp voice.
"Okay, stand aside," Concubine Li looked at the courtyard of humanity.
"Where's Xiao'er?" Concubine Li didn't look at the people below, her eyes were all on her armor, and she asked casually when she touched the pattern.
"Hui Niangniang, the slave maid is in" A middle-aged palace maid with a slightly pale face came out of the group of people.
"Bold, this palace will ask you, are you guilty!" Concubine Li slapped her hand on the table and scolded.
"Mother's forgiveness! Mother's forgiveness! The slave didn't know what Niangniang was asking, and asked Niangniang to make it clear," Xiao'er was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
"Humph! is just a cheap maid, and he dared to commit a crime, not only colliding with the seven princes, but also daring to chew his tongue in front of the master, Xiao'er, what do you say about this palace? Concubine Li still slowly admired her armor.
"Mother's life! Mother's life! The slave didn't, and asked the mother to check "Xiao'er's kowtow, it seems that she has never done such a rebellious thing as she said."
"Humph! Dare to be hard when you die! Come on, give a piece of red, this palace wants to see if this palace is wrong to blame you"
"Mother's life! Mother's life! ”
"Someone!"
