The turmoil in the Red Moon Palace was naturally very big in the eyes of the people concerned, but in the court, except for Yu Jianzhong, the third minister of the Political Affairs Hall, who knew that Old Lady Yue and Ye Guanghan had gone to see Xiao Qingqing together, and also moved people to Liu's Mansion, the rest of the people were not too concerned. Most people's attention was attracted by the tragic incident that suddenly spread after Chinese New Year's Eve.

Cheng Qian, a well-known Confucian scholar in Yangzhou, was completely extinguished in a fire. The magistrate only reported the fire at first, but on the eighth day of the first lunar month, the situation further developed, and the head of the first class arrest of the chief arrest department of the criminal department, the Qingcheng master Fuyunzi Du Bailou, who had served as the chief arrester, personally took the work to the morgue for an autopsy, proving that the Cheng family was drugged by alcohol, and then set fire to death.

As soon as the news came out, the entire Jinling was shaken.

At this moment, Cheng Qianqian, the daughter of the Cheng family who temporarily lived in the mansion of the eldest princess of Dongyang because she was robbed and killed on the road, became the focus of everyone's attention. Because this lady was very famous in Yangzhou City, this time when she entered Jinling, there was also some information faintly revealed, so some delicate people can imagine countless conspiracies and tricks unconsciously.

For example, a wealthy family wanted to marry their daughter to the only prince of the current emperor, King Li Yiming, but they resented that Cheng's daughter was supported by some ill-intentioned people, so they killed them. It's just that robbing and killing girls doesn't kill people, it's really a little unreasonable, but this kind of saying is the most popular in the streets and alleys.

For example, Miss Cheng was heroically saved by His Royal Highness the King in Xuanwuze, and some people were worried that the Cheng family behind her would make waves, so they would be full of people, so that they would not have to worry about relatives in the future.

This is obviously because the Empress Dowager is in charge, and she took it for granted that she added a bunch of speculations to the little fat man who had not yet married a daughter-in-law, and faintly splashed dirty water on the head of Emperor Lao Tzu. Therefore, this saying has been circulated for the shortest time, and it is said that all the people who spread the rumors were invited to the county government to drink tea and admire the bamboo boards.

As for all kinds of other rumors, naturally there are different opinions, and even some people in the major yamen have privately discussed it, and it is even more impossible to ban a place like Guozijian Zhuxue where there are many young students. At this time, it was still in the spring break, and all schools did not resume classes, but there were also students who were far away from their hometowns who did not return to their hometowns.

At this moment, on the grounds that King Jia's Mansion was too deserted at the beginning of the holiday, Li Chongming, the son of King Jia, who continued to live in the courtyard allocated to him by Guozixue, kept visiting from morning to night, all of whom came to listen to the news. At first, he was polite, but when he found that the momentum was not good, he panicked, and seeing that all kinds of rumors were getting worse, he simply ordered to move back to the mansion that day.

When he got into the carriage and left Guozi School, Li Chongming couldn't help pinching his palms with his nails, only feeling that he had stayed in Jinling for more than a year, and it seemed that he had made a lot of noble officials and eunuchs in Guozi School, and scholars from poor families; seems to be in and out of the palace often, and the emperor treats him like a grandson; It seems that everyone is respectful when socializing outside, and they dare not underestimate it...... In fact, it has not achieved anything at all.

Those people he befriended were all false, and the emperor's kindness and kindness were also false. After all, even if the emperor was forced by the pressure of the Queen Mother to take his father to the palace and raise him for so many years, he couldn't talk about feelings at all! And his father has always stayed in the fiefdom honestly, and this time he didn't even take advantage of his son's presence in Jinling to ask for a pilgrimage!

Therefore, even if he saw that Yangzhou Cheng's case was in an uproar, and there was obviously a good opportunity to play on the topic, he didn't dare to move at all, because there were too few channels he could use, and there were too few people who could use it! What he was even more worried about was that if it was really the emperor who used thunderous means to eliminate those who coveted Li Yiming's marriage, as soon as he was discovered, he would be dead.

The sound of the car was rolling, Li Chongming sometimes felt sorry for himself, sometimes gritted his teeth, and suddenly, his body leaned forward irrepressibly, and the whole person actually got up from his seat, and his head almost hit the car door. When he woke up suddenly, he suddenly became angry, sat back and opened the curtains suddenly, and was about to scold, but found a smiling figure in front of him.

His eyes widened, and he called out to Jiu Gongzi in disbelief, and then he became alert, so he squeezed out a smile and said, "Why did Jiu Gongzi stop my car?" ”

"There is a bit of a problem on the road ahead, and the prince of Jiawang had better take a detour." Yue Qianqiu nodded at Li Chongming with a smile, and then was about to raise the whip to leave, but Li Chongming suddenly stretched out his hand from the car window and grabbed his sleeve. In order to avoid this good New Year's season, the new clothes that he had just put on were torn out, so he could only put down the horsewhip, "Is there something wrong with the prince of King Jia?" ”

Li Chongming didn't ask what was wrong with the road ahead, and tried his best to show his most enthusiastic smile: "I heard that there was a banquet at the house of the ninth prince today, and Ling Tang personally presided over it?" ”

Yue Qianqiu was stunned. To say that this small banquet hosted by Princess Ping'an herself did cause a lot of commotion in Yuefu, and the two aunts in the second and third rooms were very angry, but because it had not yet passed the Lantern Festival, they did not invite the families of the other two prime ministers, but they were just familiar with each other and placed a few posts, such as the eldest princess of Dongyang, such as the eldest lady's maiden relatives, such as the two aunts of the Qin family...... So the second and third wives couldn't say anything more.

This kind of small-scale family banquet Li Chongming can even know that this guy is too good at drilling!

He snorted without smiling and said, "It's just a small party at home, it's not a big deal." ”

"Then the ninth prince is leaving the family banquet behind? Or do you want to run errands for Lingtang? ”

Yue Qianqiu really wanted to say something about you, but he didn't hit the smiling person, and he finally said lazily: "My mother is a person who loves to be lively, so let me invite all the friends of Wuying Pavilion to the house to be lively." ”

As soon as the words fell, he saw Li Chongming showing excitement, and shouted badly. Sure enough, the next moment, I saw Li Chongming say with a smile on his face: "I have also been curious about Lingtang for a long time, can the Ninth Prince take me to meet him?" ”

Yue Qianqiu was stunned for a moment, and then regretted very much in his heart that he had just been a good person to stop Li Chongming's car.

It was none other than Master Yan Xu who was making trouble on the road ahead. In the big incident of the Cheng family's annihilation, Yan Xu's letter to seek an official was just a trivial matter, but it still attracted the impeachment of the imperial history, no, Yan Xu directly blocked the road and the theory of people, the imperial history of his own bad deeds is not counted, the past of the father who did not pay off the debts more than ten years ago has been turned out by him, and now the person is about to be scolded and cried by Yan Xu.

Although this is a good situation in which the master's momentum is good, onlookers like Li Chongming don't need it, and he doesn't want Li Chongming and Yan Xu to have a bad relationship. But now it's good, the master is spared, but he sticks a kraft candy.

You know, there will be a little fat man who will go to his house to watch the excitement today! For this, he made a plan in advance, and in order to prevent Xiao Jingxian from being provoked to his home, he invited the emperor to come out in person and stumbled the king of Jin.

Thinking about Li Chongming, although trouble is trouble, he belongs to the kind of person who would never have seen Princess Ping'an in the past anyway, Yue Qianqiu hesitated slightly for a while, and finally said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the prince of Jiawang would be a person who would be curious about such a trivial matter." Today, in addition to those friends in the Wuying Pavilion, the eldest princess and the king will come, and there are some relatives, if you want to come and join in the fun, just join in. ”

Li Chongming knew that he didn't welcome much when he heard Yue Qianqiu's tone, and the people invited today were obviously relatives and friends, and he, who was at most familiar with strangers, went uninvited, which really seemed a little cheeky. What's more, the little fat man has always been a thorn in his eye, but when he thought that he hadn't fulfilled his previous expectations, he planned to gamble.

I heard that Yue Qianqiu had a quarrel with Xiao Jingxian not long ago, and the little fat man took advantage of the situation, even if the so-called discord between the two people in the past was for others to see, then this trend may not be certain now. After all, Li Yiming is getting bigger and bigger, and he is getting closer and closer to the position of the prince of the East Palace, no matter what he thought about at the beginning and getting along with Yue Qianqiu like this, it is impossible to continue in the future.

Such a freewheeling guy cannot guarantee that the Yue family will be rich forever!

Although Li Chongming thought that his complicated feelings were well concealed, and he lowered the curtain after smiling and thanking him, what he didn't know was that there were too many old foxes that Yue Qianqiu had dealt with. Among them, there are old ladies like Yue who often make yin moves suddenly, and there are also emperors who fall chess pieces quietly, relatively speaking, Li Chongming's rank is really not too high.

Don't even think too hard about it, Yue Qianqiu can roughly understand what this prince of Jiawang is planning.

When the horse stopped at the door of the family's house, he turned his head sideways and smiled at the guards of Li Chongming's carriage: "I usually go here when I go in and out of the house, since the prince of Jiawang is here, please enter from the main gate, I will go to say hello to people first, and ask which uncle to come out to greet me." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw that the carriage door was pushed open, and Li Chongming jumped down without anyone's support. As if he was very curious, he looked at the high wall and the small door in front of him, and then shook his head.

"I'm an uninvited guest, and I don't bother the two masters, why don't I ask the ninth prince to take me in? Besides, I, the son of an idle king, why should I go through the main gate where visitors come and go? Wouldn't it be better to go and see my aunt quietly? ”

Where are the four of Yuexiao, except for the relevant people of the Yue family and the Yan family, only the emperor knows, and in the eyes of outsiders, they are prodigals who are unsuccessful, unofficial, and unemployed. The husband is like this, and the daughter-in-law who marries without telling in private, of course Yue Qianqiu knows that ordinary people will not pay attention to it. But at this time, Li Chongming called his aunt, and he didn't know that his father King Jia and Yue Xiaosi were world friends.

It's just that he deliberately said this sentence just now, just because he didn't want to take Li Chongming to the main gate to show off, so he said with a smile at the moment: "Since the prince of King Jia said so, then I'm not welcome." Today, my grandfather deliberately vacated the Qingfen Pavilion next door to his Heming Xuan for the mother's banquet, as for the little friends I invited, after going back to meet my mother, I went to the family house to be lively. Prince Jia, which side are you going to mix? ”

This kind of straightforward question, Li Chongming believes that only Yue Qianqiu will ask it. But at this time, in order to avoid Yue Qianqiu thinking that he came over today with ill intentions, he didn't have much time to think, so he could only smile immediately: "I also said before, it's really just pure curiosity, after meeting Lingtang, I will leave, and I will never disturb the excitement of the Yue family." ”

Yue Qianqiu smiled and let Li Chongming go to the door, and listened to his instructions not to block the street, and continued to walk forward, regardless of where to wander, in short, he came to pick him up after half an hour, he thought of stopping people on the road before, not because he saw any signs in this convoy, but purely because he had a good memory and recognized several of Li Chongming's entourage, and he couldn't help but laugh more and more at this time

"Where is the point of disturbance? There are many people, everyone is the same age, as long as you are willing, stay for a while and talk to everyone, it doesn't matter. Don't worry about the little fat man's face to show you, this is my home, not his. ”

Li Chongming couldn't wait to stay in the guest for a long time, so he immediately turned his head and said to everyone: "Since the ninth prince said so, you have not been in the afternoon...... Well, you're coming to pick me up later. ”

The so-called afternoon is not right, that is, two o'clock, and at this time it is not enough, less than ten o'clock, from the initial stay of half an hour to at least two hours now, Yue Qianqiu was quite stunned by Li Chongming's snake beating stick, but his face was still smiling. When he entered the door, he saw Xu Hao walking quickly to meet him.

"Gongzi said before that Sect Master Zhou, Miss Song, and the three of the Emei faction are all coming, in addition to Xiao ...... Miss Xiao? Is it certain now? In front of Li Chongming, Xu Hao still abbreviated Xiao Jingjing's title, and seeing that Yue Qianqiu nodded in confirmation, he hesitated slightly, and finally said in a low voice, "Miss Cheng was also brought by the eldest princess herself, and she is now at the fourth wife of Qingfen Pavilion." ”

Why did the eldest princess of Dongyang send Cheng Qianqian? Is it really Princess Heian to treat you today? How does it feel like a big party of troublesome people?

Yue Qianqiu was already muttering to death, but when he turned his head sideways, he found that Li Chongming's face instantly became very ugly, as if he didn't expect the eldest princess of Dongyang to take such an unusual path, but he felt in a good mood.

At that moment, he smiled and said, "Let's go, although there are all women over there now, but anyway, you just want to see my mother, it's the right time." After a while, the seven aunts and eight aunts have arrived, and you feel uncomfortable inside, don't you? ”

Although he had some doubts because of Cheng Qianqian's unexpected appearance, since Yue Qianqiu said so, Li Chongming thought about how he could not just because he took a picture with others, and the orphan girl of the Cheng family who was now the only remaining fruit could have anything to do with him, so he nodded a little unnaturally. It wasn't until he entered the second door of the Qinqin House that he suddenly remembered another thing.

He glanced at the regular clothes on his body that looked like a boy next door, and coughed dryly: "Ninth Prince, will I be a little disrespectful?" ”

Yue Qianqiu, who was walking in front, paused suddenly, he looked back at Li Chongming up and down, and then said with a smile: "Aren't you just not wearing those shining satin brocades that look like they can brighten the eyes of blind people?" Your green satin is a tribute that money can't buy, as long as you are careful, you can see this low-key luxury. Besides, come with me, who would dare to say that you are disrespectful? ”

Li Chongming's last bit of luck was finally completely dispelled. He sighed deeply in his stomach, and he couldn't help but have another thought in his heart. Today, except for women and teenagers, there shouldn't be any moths, right?
