Chapter 6 Seeking Faith
"What's wrong?"
Uncle Xiao returned to the study in a trance.
Seeing this, Xiao Feng thought that something might have changed.
Uncle Xiao said: "Father, Lord Huang specially came to inform me that the emperor has decreed that His Royal Highness the Eleventh and Third Highnesses will tour the south together. ”
The Lord Huang in Uncle Xiao's mouth is the head of the household, and he came to think of it this time to listen to him. The decree has been given, and nine times out of ten it is true.
"Your Highness Eleven? Is it the eleventh princess under the name of the queen mother? ”
Xiao Zhi asked.
Xiao Feng replied: "Exactly, the rightful princess of Daye." ”
Suddenly, Xiao Feng said to Xiao Zhi: "Zhi'er, if this letter is not sent to the Third Prince's Mansion, I will write another letter, and you will send it to the eldest princess Jiashu." ”
"Yes."
Xiao Feng walked behind the long table and swayed the wolf. Xiao Zhi took the half-dry letter, did not dare to delay, and hurriedly left the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion again.
Fengqi Palace
Just as Mama Chen changed into another palace dress, Ronghua looked at the Ming Huang Holy Decree placed on the side, and her heart was relieved, it was finally done, and it was in vain that she boldly spread out her hole cards this time.
"Take it and dispose of it."
"Whoa."
Empress Chen watched the palace maid retreat with her palace clothes in her arms, she pulled Ronghua to sit down beside her, her nose shrugged slightly, and then she smiled with satisfaction, "It's not so strong after all." ”
The sandalwood fragrance of the Buddha is really disgusting, ridiculous, and the Buddha is not afraid of people laughing in this deep palace?
Ronghua held the tea and said with a smile: "The queen mother has a sip of tea." ”
"You got your wish?"
Ronghua shook his head, "It's not quite, it's just the first step." ”
"The Ministry of Rites has already submitted the documents, and I have prepared the missing things, you see, if there is still a shortage, let someone fill it. I don't know when I will be able to return from this southern tour. ”
"Now at the end of August, there are more than three months to go until the New Year, and since I have to come back at that time, the queen mother doesn't have to worry."
Empress Chen took the list handed over by the palace maid, looked at it, felt that there was no problem, and gave Ronghua again, "Look, make up for what is missing." ”
Ronghua put the list on the couch and said with a smile: "Don't look at it, the queen mother will do things, and the sons can rest assured." ”
Empress Chen patted Ronghua's hand, and the mother-daughter love was deeply envious of others.
Empress Chen turned her head and instructed Mama Chen: "Mama, you take someone to wait outside the palace, and the palace wants to say something considerate to His Highness." ”
Mama Chen went out with a group of people, and only Ronghua and Empress Chen were left in the hall.
"Yu Yuan, I think you already know Chen Meiren, right?"
Ronghua nodded obediently.
Empress Chen looked at Ronghua through the heat of the tea, the tea went down her throat and covered the tea cup, "Then you also know about that, right?" ”
Ronghua's lips hooked, "The queen mother is talking about the grace of the imperial garden?" Or is it grace? Or Langya Chen and Jiujiang Chen? ”
After saying it a little bit, Queen Chen's face became a little ugly, and she pursed her lips with a big red cream, and lifted her lips: "The grace is endless." ”
"Secret medicine."
"Bold!"
When Empress Chen heard this, she slapped the table suddenly, her lips pursed into a straight line, and her eyebrows and eyes were dyed cold.
really let her guess correctly, she didn't expect that Chen Feifei was so bold, the emperor was busy with government affairs for more than ten years, and his body couldn't stand it, this Chen Feifei dared to use secret medicine, and it was found out that it was a big crime to kill the king. It's okay for her to die by herself, she hurt the emperor, the Taiwei Mansion, the queen of the Taiwei Mansion, and the emperor who killed her, that is a heinous crime!
If it weren't for her people who couldn't find out and didn't find any traces of medication, she would have disposed of this slut a long time ago!
With a loud voice, Ronghua glanced at the table, didn't say a word, and still sat there peacefully.
When Empress Chen saw Ronghua's safety, she also knew that she had passed, so she cleaned up her manners, calmed down, and then raised the teacup and looked at the phoenix eyes through the white mist.
"Yu Yuan, what do you say the queen mother should do?"
Although she told herself a long time ago not to care, she was still a little unwilling, she had to hold on in front of Mama Chen and tell everyone that she was a good queen? But when she arrived in front of Ronghua, she couldn't help but relax, thinking that she still had the emperor to rely on.
Rong Hua smiled, tilted his head slightly, and the obvious sarcasm on his face did not allow Empress Chen to see, "That's someone from the Taiwei Mansion." ”
As soon as these words came out, Empress Chen was silent.
After a while, he spoke again: "Then Yu Miao doesn't care this time?" ”
What about the previous marriage?
Ronghua knew what Queen Chen was thinking at a glance, although her marriage was not very important in her opinion, but it couldn't be the Chen family, as for Chen Feifei, she had her own arrangements.
"Queen Mother, that's the people of the Taiwei Mansion, if anything is involved, it's not good for us, after all, in the eyes of the world, the Taiwei Mansion and us are in the same boat. What's more," Ronghua looked down at the auspicious cloud patterns on the palace clothes, "This secret medicine is not given by one person. ”
Empress Chen was taken aback, looking at Ronghua with peaceful eyebrows at this time, her heart suddenly jumped, "Who?" ”
Rong Hua raised his eyes and smiled at Empress Chen, and said in a very soft voice: "Queen Mother." ”
Empress Chen sat on the couch in a daze, until Mama Chen came to ask her what was wrong, and Empress Chen came back to her senses and remembered what Ronghua said when she left just now:
"The queen mother, and the sons."
Empress Chen's heart suddenly calmed down, and she replied, "It's nothing." ”
Smoked with good agarwood, the fragrance is layered.
"Ha, I used to think how powerful you are, and your chess skills are treacherous, but I didn't expect to read from the book."
Ronghua's phoenix eyes widened, and he thought about it seriously, and finally heard the banter of the eldest princess Jiashu. Ronghua smiled bitterly, but did not deny it, because it was.
The eldest princess Jiashu looked at Ronghua's hard-working son, the smile on her face was even worse, her eyes were bright, as if she was afraid that Ronghua would regret the chess, Ronghua just let her go, and the jade white child collided with the chessboard that was also jade, making a small crisp sound.
"Yu Yuan, you lost!"
Ronghua smiled at the eldest princess of Shang Jiashu and raised his hand, "Yes, yes, my nephew lost, and my little aunt you won." ”
The eldest princess smiled even more happily, and a thin fold folded at the corner of her eye.
The eldest princess Jiashu didn't know what to think, the folds were gone as soon as they were bent, and the eldest princess Jiashu looked down at the chessboard, with a nostalgic look on her face, "He's the same, I won, he's happier than he won, like a child." ”
Ronghua didn't speak, but just added some mica flakes and silver leaves to the incense burner and placed them in the incense burner.
The eldest princess of Jiashu raised her face and smiled lightly at Ronghua, "How did you know that the Imperial Brotherhood wanted to tour south?" ”
"My father is not young, and he wants to make some achievements, not to mention that the family has always been a thorn in the heart of Emperor Daye. Since he gave his father a chance to attack, he naturally would not let it go. ”
"What about Xia Chong?"
"My little aunt has lived in the deep courtyard for a long time, and I don't know that Xia Chong's sister's husband's family and the maiden family of the third prince's concubine are world enemies."
Ronghua put the black and white seeds on the chessboard into the bowl one by one, "And Xia Chong's wife, Xia Liang, was born in the Liang family of Xue County, and I remember correctly that I had to stay in Xue County for a while on the return trip." ”
"What if you chose Rongjun at the beginning?"
"It won't be him!"
The eldest princess Jiashu looked at Ronghua, "Oh, you are so confident? ”
"No, it's not that the nephew is confident, but the father is not old enough to give way, so dare to ask which emperor is willing to take the initiative to delegate power? Even if that person is his own son. ”
"But Rong Shen is suitable for both identity and qualifications, and he is impeccable, so the royal brother is willing to be a loving father?"
"That's exactly what happened."
"But what if the second person chosen by your father is Rong Xuan?"
"Little aunt, it's still the same sentence, my father is an emperor, he will not let any accidents happen, and the prince can ensure the stability of the imperial capital."
After speaking, Ronghua picked up a sunspot and put it on Tianyuan, and the collision between the jade and the jade was very loud but hit the heart of the eldest princess Jiashu very loudly.
Although the eldest princess Jiashu was still listening to Ronghua, she was a little distracted on the chessboard. She thought to herself: Is it certain that the first son will fall on Tianyuan? Yu Ming, this kid has always been cautious, since he is allowed to do so, he has already made a move.
Thinking like this, the eldest princess Jiashu held the white son in her hand and thought about it again and again, before leaving the white son behind.
Ronghua raised his eyes to the serious face of the eldest princess Jiashu, and was silent, and he was a casual son again.
Back and forth like this, the eldest princess Jiashu finally saw a few clues, but still asked, "Which chess game are you watching?" Or did you figure it out yourself? ”
Ronghua listened to it and said with a smile: "Little aunt, I figured this out by myself!" ”
The eldest princess Jiashu looked at the chessboard and was entangled for a while, there were too many flaws, if Ronghua was thinking about it herself, maybe there was some trap waiting below, but she tried for several rounds, and there seemed to be no conspiracy.
She raised her eyes and wanted to ask Ronghua what tricks she was playing this time, but when she saw Ronghua stretching out his hand to cover his face and smiling, she instantly realized that this was clearly not in chess, and she was playing indiscriminately, and she thought it was ...... Thinking of this, the eldest princess Jiashu was annoyed and angry, and half-got up and patted it across the chessboard: "Okay! You girl is capable, you dare to tease your aunt and me? ”
"Little aunt, little aunt! Yu Miao is wrong! Don't fight, this game is considered a win for my aunt, okay? ”
"What counts? I was supposed to win! ”
Despite saying that, the eldest princess Jiashu still sat back obediently.
When the two of them made such a fuss, the chess pieces on the chessboard were already messed up and couldn't be played.
The eldest princess of Jiashu straightened her clothes, took out a letter from her wide sleeve and handed it to Ronghua, "Well, it was sent to me for you, you can see." ”
Ronghua took it, there was no payment on the surface of the envelope, and even the style of the envelope was extremely ordinary, the kind sold at the bookstall on the street. The wax of the seal is also red wax and does not have any signs.
"Sent by the son of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion."
Seeing that Ronghua was watching, Princess Jiashu raised a sentence.
Left Prime Minister's Mansion? This is not in her plan, but when she thinks about it, she didn't expect that someone as clear as Zuo Xiang would also be involved in this matter, and she also found her little aunt.
"The son of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion?"
"Oh, Zuo Xiangyan's eldest son, Xiao Zhi, I look at it as a talent."
Ronghua put the letter away, got up and said goodbye to the eldest princess Jiashu: "Little aunt, my nephew will go back first if he wants to have dinner with the queen mother." ”
"Since it is the imperial sister-in-law who has something to say first, this palace will let you go today."
Ronghua smiled.
Before the eldest princess Jiashu sent someone to send Ronghua back to the palace, she said to Ronghua: "People, this palace has been dealt with." ”
Ronghua was deeply blessed, "Thank you, little aunt." ”
Sitting in the carriage of the princess's mansion, Ronghua opened the letter and read it at a glance, then stuffed the envelope into the burning incense burner in the carriage and burned it, and only retracted his eyes when he saw it turned into ashes.
Ronghua leaned in the carriage, his eyes closed, since he begged her here, even if she never thought about Zuo Xiangfu, but the opportunity in her hands, she would never let go!
