57: Rob the rich and help the poor
Another day passed, and at night, Shen Lan couldn't sleep, so he sat down by the fish pond in the yard and fed the goldfish.
At this moment, Gao Xu's door creaked open, and he also came out. Said slowly: "This king plans to go to the emperor tomorrow and ask him for help."
When Shen Lan heard this, he hurriedly stood up.
"Really?"
Gao Xu nodded: "Well, but this king can't guarantee that he will definitely help this king." ”
Lan Xin disagreed: "Isn't it just a strand of hair!" Could the Tanglin Emperor be so picky, he didn't even give a strand of hair. ”
Gao Xu scoffed at her words, "A strand of hair? Do you know whose hair it is? ”
Shen Lanxin pursed his lips and was silent.
Gao Xu looked at her disdainful look, and couldn't help frowning: "This is Dongling, not Nanling, this king is soft-spoken, and it is natural for him not to give face to this king." ”
"So you have to be mentally prepared, in short, I will try my best to convince the emperor."
Shen Lan nodded silently after hearing this.
Sure enough, when the emperor heard Gao Xu make this strange request, he didn't agree to him, the reason is very simple, the queen's daughter is noble, how can she say that her hair will fall out.
In fact, Gao Xu had long known that Emperor Tanglin would not agree to his request, so he would let Shen Lan be mentally prepared.
Although she was mentally prepared, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when she learned that Emperor Tanglin really didn't agree.
So she walked around the palace dejectedly, she knew that Gao Xu had done her best, so she took so much effort to bring her to Tanglin and successfully entered the palace, and she did so much for herself without relatives and for no reason, she was very grateful to him.
Since the Tanglin Emperor disagreed, he went to ask the Tanglin Empress, but she didn't know where the Tanglin Empress lived, and the palace was so big, she got lost as she walked, and she walked around like a headless fly.
Before I knew it, I came to Showa Palace.
"Showa Palace?" He looked up and muttered to himself.
At this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came back from elsewhere, saw her standing at the gate of the palace with a curious face, and asked, "Do you want to go in and visit?" ”
Shen Lanxin looked at him, first for a moment, and then for a moment.
Seeing her dazed look, the prince smiled and entered the Showa Palace.
Shen Lan was suspicious, and also walked in.
The prince commanded, "Go and make two cups of tea." ”
Shen Lanxin stood in the middle and looked around, pointed and asked, "You live here?" ”
The prince smiled: "That's right. ”
After a while, the palace man brought out the brewed tea and put it on the stone table.
"Let's have a cup of tea first." The prince sat down and said.
Shen Lanxin slowly stepped forward and sat down.
The prince looked relaxed and asked with a smile, "What should I call you?" ”
Shen Lanxin frowned slightly: "Didn't you already know that my name was Shen Da?" ”
The corners of the prince's lips hooked, "I don't believe you can call it by that name." ”
Shen Lan said disappreciably: "What don't you believe, the name is just a code name!" ”
The prince smiled, "That's right. ”
The prince's gaze unconsciously probed into her again.
Here it is again, what's the matter with this person, why does he always look at her with such eyes. Shen Lan's heart looked very unhappy
This time, Shen Lanxin asked him directly, "Why does Your Highness always look at me with such a deep eye?" Is there something about me that has aroused your curiosity? ”
The prince immediately retracted his gaze, "To be honest, I don't know?" ”
Shen Lan secretly slandered in his heart, I don't know? What the hell is this prince doing? Could he really ......
Shen Lan asked in his heart: "Are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sure that he doesn't have a habit of breaking his sleeves?" ”
The prince raised his eyebrows and said: "Joke, my sexual orientation is very normal, besides, how can I say that a girl has a habit of breaking sleeves?" ”
After Shen Lan heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Don't know what you're talking about?" She took a sip from her teacup, as if to hide her uneasiness.
Prince Li said lightly: "The skin is like clotted fat, the moon eyebrows and starry eyes, if the shoulders are shaved, and the waist is about to be plain, how can a man be like this?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Lanxin almost didn't hold the teacup in his hand.
"You...... You already knew I was a woman? ”
The prince said: "That's right, from the first sight. ”
Shen Lanxin glanced at him and said, "The time I was hit?" ”
The prince shook his head and said, "Definitely." ”
Shen Lan's puzzled look was a little more. "Wasn't that the first time we'd met?"
The prince smiled and asked, "Have you ever lost any money?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Lan's heart fluttered, and he suddenly realized.
"Oh, so you're the thief!"
The prince couldn't help but laugh.
Shen Lanxin felt incredible. "No wonder I thought you were familiar at first sight, you are the crown prince! Why do you steal other people's money? ”
The prince hooked his finger at her, pretending to be mysterious.
Shen Lanxin stepped forward slightly, and heard him whisper: "Do you know what it means to rob the rich and help the poor?" ”
Cut, what did she think, it turned out to be robbing the rich and helping the poor.
Shen Lan said disappreciatively: "Ahem, I understand, I did this before." ”
The prince was slightly surprised, "You also did something about stealing chickens and touching dogs?" ”
Shen Lanxin choked on the tea, and coughed straight, "What kind of stealing chickens and touching dogs, in your place, it is called robbing the rich and helping the poor, how come I have become stealing chickens and touching dogs?" That's what I call robbing the rich and helping the poor, and you are simply a waste of fame compared to me. ”
The prince asked with great interest: "Why do you say this?" ”
Shen Lan said disdainfully: "I stole all the rich people, what about you, you actually stole me, do you think I look like a rich man?" She asked, pointing to herself.
The prince laughed when he heard this.
"Although the clothes you are wearing look very ordinary, the workmanship is very good, and the material is medium, ordinary subordinates will not wear this kind of clothes, so I conclude that you are either rich and very rich or your master is rich, and the master is rich and the slave will not be poor."
After listening to his words, Shen Lanxin put down the teacup, looked at the clothes he was wearing, and turned over the cuffs to see if the workmanship was the same as he said.
Sure enough, the workmanship is meticulous, and there is not a single thread. She glanced at the prince and silently lowered her sleeves.
Raised his eyebrows and said: "I didn't expect your observation to be quite subtle, even I can guess who I am!" ”
The corners of the prince's mouth raised slightly.
Shen Lanxin looked at him and said lightly: "So you saw that I was a woman at that time?" ”
Li Yuanshi shook his head.
Shen Lanxin was confused and stared at him, "Not then?" When was that? ”
The prince said lightly: "I didn't see it, you said it yourself." ”
"I said it myself?" Shen Lanxin recalled carefully......
“…… Stinky boy, he's so fat, he dares to steal his aunt's money. ”
Suddenly this sentence came to her mind, so it was, it turned out that she had exposed her identity, and she subconsciously touched her lips.
The prince smiled slightly, "Remembered?" ”
Shen Lan smiled wryly.
The prince looked at the woman in front of him, and was very puzzled, why would she disguise herself as a man and follow King Qing into the palace? Who is she from King Qing? What is the purpose of their trip? He thought it would be more than just a friendly visit.
There were many questions, but the prince did not continue to ask, he knew that even if he asked, she would not say, instead of asking, it would be better to see what they wanted to do?
The two of them chatted like this, and time passed little by little.
Shen Lan saw in her heart that it was not too early, she had to go back, and Gao Xu should be worried if she couldn't see herself for a long time.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, it's not too early, I have to go back, thank you for your tea." After saying that, he hurriedly saluted and turned around and went out.
Without waiting for the prince's response, she had already left the palace gate, but after a while, she turned back again.
When I came back, I looked very embarrassed, and I only heard her say: "That, I can't find my way back, can you ......
When the prince heard this, he couldn't help laughing, thinking that this girl was really funny.
"Forget it, I'll send you back!"
The prince sent Shen Lanxin back to Jingyuexuan, and sure enough, Gao Xu was anxiously waiting for her.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
The prince said lightly: "Your subordinate got lost and happened to run into me, so he sent her back." ”
Gao Xu arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince." ”
The prince smiled: "You're welcome, okay, I have to complete the task." ”
Shen Lan smiled in his heart and said embarrassedly: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
The prince's eyes were kind, and he smiled: "It's a gesture." ”
Looking at the expressions of the two, Gao Xu's heart shook and he felt something.
At the same time, a subtle vinegar rose from the bottom of my heart.
After the prince left, Gao Xu asked with a cold face, "Where have you been this day?" ”
Shen Lan said disappreciatively: "I didn't go anywhere, I just walked back and forth in the palace, and I got lost while shopping, and then I met His Royal Highness the Prince, and then he sent me back." ”
Gao Xu said coldly: "You have to keep a little distance from him in the future, do you know?" ”
There was a hint of domineering in his tone, which made Shen Lan's heart stunned.
"Why?"
He said lightly: "No, why? ”
Shen Lanxin saw that he ordered her so domineeringly, and he didn't explain, so he couldn't help but raise his voice. "Why? Why should I keep my distance from him! ”
Seeing that he was silent, Shen Lanxin stepped forward, "Are you talking?" ”
Gao Xu didn't want to speak, but Shen Lanxin didn't give up, and he was bound to give him a reason.
Shen Lan stared at him with a look of expectation, "You say, why don't you let me get too close to him?" ”
Shen Lanxin felt that there were some questions she should ask him, everything he had done for himself these days was beyond the boundaries of a friend.
She was vague about his behavior, and sometimes she even had the illusion that he liked her, but he never said anything to herself, and she hated the vagueness, and she wanted to be sure.
She wanted to hear him say it herself, but she didn't know what he would say, and her heart was beating fast.
Gao Xu's face was cold, and he said lightly: "As a friend, this king is afraid that you will be used by others and deceived by others!" ”
Shen Lan's heart fluttered. "That's the reason?"
He did not speak.
Shen Lanxin's heart sank, and she asked, "So you have helped me so many times, purely out of the concern of your friends, afraid that I will be deceived by others, right?" ”
Gao Xu said disdainfully: "Otherwise, what else can there be?" Anyone can see that you are stupid and easy to trust. His words were like a basin of cold water, instantly extinguishing the blood in her heart.
Shen Lanxin felt that his self-esteem had been hit like never before.
Am I mistaken? He actually just took me as a friend.
Gao Xu saw that she didn't speak for a long time, her expression changed, and asked, "What are you thinking?" ”
Shen Lan was annoyed and angry: "What do I think has to do with you?" I'm stupid, I'm stupid, what's your business? Who told you to come with me, who told you to be nosy? ”
was scolded by a burst of slashing his head and covering his face, Gao Xu's mood was not very good, and his face collapsed in an instant: "This king is kind-hearted, you actually treat it as a donkey's liver and lungs?" ”
Shen Lanxin was furious: "Who made you kind?" ”
Gao Xu also raised his voice: "Why are you so angry? Can you change your temper when you light the fire, this king doesn't like it very much. ”
Shen Lanxin became even more angry when he heard this, "Who made you like it, I'm like this, savage and rude, just ignite the fire, did you know me for the first day?" Since you dislike me so much, then go find your ladies and show you. ”
The two just stood outside and confronted each other, and neither of them lost the other.
She glared at her with a pretty face, "From now on, my affairs have nothing to do with you, and I will definitely repay you if I owe you, but from now on, my affairs have nothing to do with you, and you don't have to interfere in Fengfa's affairs." ”
Gao Xu: "......
Shen Lan's heart was inexplicably panicked, she didn't want to see him, so she turned around and went back to the room.
Slammed the door shut, sat down on the bed angrily, banging on the bed.
"Gao Xu, you bastard, you're mad at me." Shen Lanxin was inexplicably angry.
Ashin saw Shen Lan enter the room angrily, it was the first time he saw Miss Shen making such a big fire, and he also quietly returned to the room.
Gao Xu was left standing outside alone, in fact, he didn't know, she was testing his mind, he knew it, but pretended not to know, in fact, he wanted to say it to her several times, but in the end he swallowed it back, in fact, he was also very thin-skinned, hey...... It's good to her off.
When it was time to eat in the evening, Shen Lanxin didn't go out to eat, so she didn't want to see any unappetizing guys.
Gao Xu asked Ashin to leave him food, and in the middle of the night, Gao Xu saw that the food on the table was still there as it was!
Gao Xu came to Shen Lanxin's room and saw that the lights had already been turned off in her room, so he also returned to her room.
At breakfast, they were all eating with their heads bored, the atmosphere was very embarrassing, and no one said anything, Shen Lanxin lowered his head and drank porridge, his face was longer than a horse.
Gao Xu looked at her while pretending to be nothing, eating quietly one bite at a time, with all kinds of tastes in his heart.
The atmosphere was a little weird.
He put a bun in front of Shen Lanxin, and Shen Lanxin put it back again.
He said coldly: "I don't want it, I'll do my own business." ”
As soon as Shen Lanxin thought of yesterday's incident, his heart was very blocked, and he naturally didn't give him a good face when he looked at Gao Xu.
Gao Xu: "......
Ashin squinted his eyes and glanced at his son, and found that his face was black and the bottom of the pot, he served the rice high, blocked his face, and desperately picked up the rice in his mouth.
As soon as everyone finished eating, the prince came to Jingyuexuan.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Ashin greeted him and curtsy?
"No courtesy."
"Childe, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is looking for you." Ashin shouted inside.
The two people in the house hurriedly came out when they heard this.
The prince said with a smile: "I'm not here to find King Qing today, I'm here to find her." As he spoke, he looked at Shen Lanxin.
Shen Lanxin was surprised. "Looking for me?" She pointed to herself.
Gao Xu was also surprised.
The crown prince nodded, "Well, I'm going to take you somewhere." Speaking of this, he looked at Gao Xu, "King Qing, don't you mind if I take him ......"
Before he finished speaking, Shen Lanxin interrupted him.
"You're going to take me and ask him what he's doing!" After saying that, he walked outside.
Gao Xu's face was as green as a cucumber.
The prince's eyebrows twitched, and he suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little weird.
Shen Lanxin saw that he was still standing there, and urged: "What are you doing there, let's go." ”
When the prince heard this, he hurriedly followed.
King Qing saw that Shen Lanxin had gone out with the prince, and his face turned white with anger.
The prince came to her so openly, presumably he should have known that Lan Xin was a woman yesterday, otherwise why would he be interested in one of his subordinates, what is the purpose of this prince approaching her?
The two went out of the palace gate, and Shen Lanxin asked him, "Where are you going to take me?" ”
The prince pretended to be mysterious and said, "You'll know in a while." ”
After a while, the crown prince led her to the gate of the palace.
Shen Lanxin looked around, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, "Are we going to leave the palace?" ”
The prince smiled at her, did not answer her, and flew with her to the wall above the palace gate.
Shen Lan was shocked and shocked, and then the prince took her to fly up a tree, and then on a roof, and then the two flew back and forth on the roof.
"Isn't it exciting?" The prince asked as he flew with her.
Shen Lanxin had never experienced the feeling of flying in the sky all the time, one up and down. "It's so exciting, it's so fun."
In the end, the prince landed smoothly with her.
Shen Lanxin patted his chest and said, "Wow, you are the same as Gao Xu, you are so powerful!" ”
The prince smiled again and said, "Let's go." ”
Shen Lan was puzzled, "Where else are you going?" ”
He still didn't answer her, so she followed him all the way to the downtown street.
The prince pointed to the man in the coarse cloth clothes and coarse cloth shoes, and looked at Shen Lanxin, "Do you think this person is rich or not?" ”
Shen Lan looked at it for a while, she was ordinary all over her body, she felt that this person should have no money.
Shen Lanxin shook his head.
The prince smiled: "You go and try it!" ”
Shen Lanxin: "Me? ”
"Well, I promise you'll have a windfall." A deep smile appeared on his face.
Shen Lanxin looked at him suspiciously.
"Go try!" He smiled, looking confident.
"Try it, just try it." Shen Lanxin stepped forward as if nothing had happened, and unknowingly stole the money bag from the man's body.
The prince couldn't help but exclaim: "The unthinkable stealing kung fu has reached the point of perfection. ”
Shen Lanxin said with a smug face: "Hmph, your little kung fu is only ninth-rate, otherwise how could I find out!" ”
In the face of Shen Lanxin's ridicule, he looked calm.
"Open it and take a look." He urged.
Shen Lanxin pinched, "The money bag is deflated, what can there be!" As he spoke, he opened the money bag and took out the contents of it, and was instantly surprised, "...... a silver ticket of one hundred taels?" ”
The prince smiled at her.
Shen Lanxin felt incredible, he didn't look like a rich man!
Shen Lanxin's expression couldn't help but be surprised, "How can I look at that person and don't look like he's rich, how do you know?" ”
The prince said lightly: "That person really has no money, and this money does not belong to him." ”
Shen Lan's heart was a little confused. "Not his? What do you mean! ”
The prince glanced at the money bag and said to her, "Take a closer look at this money bag." ”
Shen Lanxin carefully looked at the money bag in her hand, the fabric was smooth and shiny, and the embroidery was also very good, she suddenly realized, "Oh, I know, this money bag is not his, he stole it?" ”
The prince smiled slightly: "It's not stupid. ”
Shen Lanxin was confused again, "But how do you know that person is a thief?" ”
The prince said: "He kept looking at the crowd, and he lowered his head from time to time, clearly staring at the money bag on someone else's waist, and he was undoubtedly a thief." ”
Shen Lanxin couldn't help but exclaim: "I can't imagine that your mind is so meticulous, I admire you so much." ”
The prince smiled again.
At this time, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd.
"Blind your dog's eye!" A man dressed in bamboo leaf green shouted.
"I'm sorry Childe." An old man bowed his head and said in front of him.
The prince and Lan Xin glanced at each other and stepped forward.
"I'm sorry, that's it? The man grabbed the old man's clothes and said fiercely, "Do you know how much my clothes are worth?" ”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," the old man apologized repeatedly, and hurriedly took out his handkerchief: "I'll wipe it for you." ”
"What do you wipe?" The man knocked off his veil and roared angrily, "Rub it on me again."
"Okay, I don't want to talk nonsense with you, let's lose money!" The man pretended that I was an uncle and said.
The old man trembled and said, "Then, how much do you have to pay?" ”
"My clothes are worth a hundred taels, but I don't want more from you, so pay me fifty taels." The man said with a pretended loss expression.
When the old man heard this, he was frightened, "Fifty taels? How can I have so much money, I only have five taels of silver here, or the money for my wife's medicine...... Before he could finish speaking, the man snatched it up.
"Bring it to you."
Shen Lanxin couldn't see it, it was too bullying, it was just a slander, she was just about to step forward, and the prince grabbed her.
Shen Lanxin looked back at him and said in surprise: "What are you doing, didn't you see it?" ”
"See!" He said lightly.
Shen Lan's heart widened: "If you see it, you won't let me go?" ”
"The time has not come, wait." His tone was still faint.
Hearing him say this, Shen Lan couldn't help but continue to watch.
"Forty taels left?" The man still didn't give up.
"Childe, all I have left is this money." The old man looked embarrassed.
The man waved his hand, "I don't care, if you stain my clothes, you have to lose money, otherwise you will be arrested." ”
When the old man heard that he was going to arrest him and go to the official, he hurriedly waved his hand:
"Don't, I still have a sick wife at home, I can't go to jail."
The man thought for a while, "In this way, you kowtow to me, ten taels of silver kowtow to one, you owe me forty-five taels, just kowtow to me four times!" ”
"Bastard, that's unreasonable." Shen Lan couldn't help it and wanted to break free, but he was dragged to death by the prince.
The prince knew that she could not bear it, so he said:
"If you can't help it, you have to endure it."
Shen Lan gritted his teeth angrily.
The old man was surprised: "Kowtow? ”
The man raised his eyebrows and said, "What, I don't want to lose money and don't even want to kowtow?" ”
The old man hurriedly said: "No, no, no, I'll knock, I'll knock!" As he spoke, the old man knelt down and kowtowed four times in a row.
"Well, that's pretty much it, forget it, that's it." After saying that, the man swaggered away.
"Wait for me here." Without waiting for Shen Lanxin to respond, the prince rushed out.
"Hey, why are you going?" Shen Lanxin shouted in a low voice.
After a while, the prince stole all the silver from the man and handed it to Shen Lanxin.
Shen Lan smiled evilly: "Oh, it turns out that you went to steal his silver!" It's time to steal. ”
Shen Lanxin opened the money bag, and at first glance, it was more than fifty taels, counting the five taels of the old man, it was only sixty taels of silver, and he was still pretending to be such an uncle.
couldn't help but scold: "This bastard is just such a little money? ”
The prince said, "Go, follow him." ”
