Chapter 696: It's better to be coquettish
Unlike those gentry and celebrities who were invited to listen to the briefing outside the public court, but were willing to do so, most of these people kept tiptoeing from beginning to end, trying to carefully observe the words and deeds of His Royal Highness the Prince, and at the edge of the instrument door facing the lobby, at this moment, there were also three people who were watching the progress of this trial from a distance, but their reactions were relatively flat.
As for who these three people are...... If Yue Qianqiu was here, he would definitely think that this combination was too abnormal.
It is natural for the little monkey and Feng Zhen to be together, because the former was forced to the latter by his master Peng Ming, and he was called to be a guard - ignoring the fact that the real duty of the little monkey is the guard of the little fat man. However, there is an extra Xiao Jingxian outside the two, which is very weird. Because in terms of the exact relationship, as long as Xiao Jingxian is willing, Feng Zhen can actually call him a cousin-in-law.
And from the beginning to the present, Feng Zhen has indeed been secretly looking at Xiao Jingxian. Ever since she knew that the young man who was beside Uncle Peng that day was His Royal Highness the Prince, and the young man beside her was King Jin from Beiyan, she had always felt that she was simply dreaming. Especially when she thought that her aunt's daughter-in-law was willing to make a side room for Xiao Jingxian, her uncontrollable curiosity was almost on par with her determination to save the Feng family's predicament.
Is this guy that good? Her cousin didn't think about it, her mother was deceived into making a side room for people, why should she repeat the same mistakes?
Xiao Jingxian didn't seem to notice Feng Zhen's gaze at all, and suddenly smiled slightly: "Little monkey, what do you think of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's appearance today?" How do you think he performed? Is it good enough? ”
The spirit of the little monkey is not in the public court at all, and it is not even on the two people around him - he has not yet opened his mind, and he can't talk about any good or bad feelings towards Feng Zhen, he only feels very confused about the master's painstaking arrangement. Is it important to marry a daughter-in-law? Master hasn't seen a daughter-in-law either! Among the people he knows, even Xiao Jingxian can't be said to have married a daughter-in-law, only Yan Xu is counted.
Among the brothers and sisters in Wuyingguan, except for Qing Fengnian, who is barely a famous grass, the others are still single!
There's nothing wrong with beating a single, right? How nice it is to be free and easy to be alone!
Because he was distracted, the little monkey didn't come back to his senses until he found a hand dangling in front of him. And when Xiao Jingxian repeated the question just now, he suddenly took a light breath, and then said a little embarrassedly: "I didn't listen much just now...... If you want me to say, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascended to the court today, he was extraordinary, and his performance was of course impeccable, absolutely no problem. ”
If Yue Qianqiu heard this kind of answer, he would definitely ridicule it as ten thousand essential oils, but Xiao Jingxian was not so harsh, he just laughed. On the contrary, Feng Zhen felt a little unbearable, and glanced at the little monkey and said angrily: "Of course, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not an ordinary person, looking at his concern for Uncle Peng at that time, I didn't expect him to be so ...... Treasure solemnity? ”
The little girl tilted her head and thought about it for a while, and finally found a word that she thought was appropriate. And the little monkey immediately exclaimed, "Yes, it is the majesty of the treasure!" After His Royal Highness the King of Jin put on the makeup of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I felt like seeing the four heavenly kings in the temple, and I couldn't help but want to bow my head just one glance......"
It wasn't until he said the word bow that he realized that he had said too much, especially when he revealed the top-secret news that Xiao Jing had put on makeup on the little fat man first, and he couldn't help crying. Sure enough, the next moment, he saw Feng Zhen's eyes widen and look at Xiao Jingxian.
"The idiom of treasure solemnity is used well." Xiao Jingxian didn't think it was angry, and he was stunned for a while, "Do you think that many kings in the past dynasties are not angry and arrogant, how did the dragon and tiger step come about?" Internally, they always pay attention to their external appearance, and then release all kinds of mysterious winds externally, saying that it is unspeakably expensive, and that it is worthless. In contrast, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is already dignified, at most he lacks a little self-confidence. ”
What do you say to Brother Yue Jiu? If you can't do it again, even if you say it directly to His Royal Highness the Prince, why do you say it to me? Especially with an outsider like Feng Zhen by his side!
The little monkey felt that he wanted to cry a little, even if he was forced to pretend to be a eunuch by Xiao Jingxian last time, he had never been so embarrassed. Fortunately, at this time, he finally freed up his energy to pay attention to the court, and found that Zhang Linggou jumped over the wall in a hurry, and he hurriedly pounced as if grasping a life-saving straw, and shouted in his mouth: "I'll go and see if there's anything I want me to help ......."
Xiao Jingxian looked at the little monkey with a smile and rushed towards the public hall in three steps and two steps, but he froze after only half running, so he said slowly: "There are Qianqiu and Sect Master Zhou in the public court, do you still need to help?" If Zhang Lian really hit his head and died, then the two should buy a piece of tofu and die. Why do you think Liu Jingxuan didn't stop it? Not to give someone a chance to show their hand? ”
He no longer paid attention to the little monkey who was in a dilemma, but looked at Feng Zhen with interest and asked, "At such a distance, Miss Feng shouldn't have heard what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said clearly, right?" He said that he would send Bazhou Taishou Zhang to Jinling in a car, and take those Bazhou celebrities who came from the expedition as the team, and personally act as the Bazhou Taishou. Do you think he was right to do that? ”
Xiao Jing pricked up his ears first, and while listening to the fierce declaration of the little fat man in the court, he simply summarized and retold it, but Feng Zhen didn't know how difficult it was to do this, so he only cared about digesting the news. After hesitating for a while, she shook her head: "I don't understand those big truths, I only know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said it is very reasonable." It's just ......"
Although she hesitated whether to say it, she still said what she really thought in her heart: "That Bazhou Taishou is really guilty of many crimes, if he can be executed in public in Bazhou, it will be very happy!" ”
"Oh? It turns out that Miss Feng, like those idlers in the market, likes to watch the bloody scenes of execution and murder? ”
Feng Zhen didn't expect Xiao Jingxian to ask this rhetorically, and suddenly panicked: "I didn't mean that...... I just think, that Bazhou Taishou has done so many bad things, and he has been in Bazhou for so many years, there must be a lot of people who hate him, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince kills him like this, the people will definitely support and love him......"
As she spoke, she felt as if she was not so right, and immediately shut up and stopped talking. Sure enough, the next moment, she only heard Xiao Jingxian say lightly: "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really only asks for a moment of pleasure like a foolish man and a foolish woman among the people, and kills the head of a state without permission, then even if he really has the secret decree or authority to cut first and then play, it will be a catastrophe." ”
was stabbed by Xiao Jingxian's words, Feng Zhen only felt as if she was scolding herself for being a fool and a foolish woman, and her face turned red, but she finally knew that she was indeed a little girl who didn't know anything, so she could only bite her lip and say unconvinced for a long time: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the prince of the East Palace, what is it to kill a criminal Bazhou Taishou?" ”
"Miss Feng might as well watch less of those talented and beautiful women in the future, and the scenes of revenge. Those who write dramas are like mirrors in their hearts, but what they write is seemingly simple and straightforward, but in fact they are nonsense, which only makes the audience happy when they see the picture. If you have that kind of idle time, it's better to read a few history books and see more of those cold and dark things, at least you won't become a stupid girl......"
"That's right, I'm just a stupid girl!" Feng Zhen finally couldn't bear it anymore, and turned around and left after bursting out of this sentence angrily. However, by the time she returned to the small courtyard that had been assigned to her and Peng Ming, the anger just now had already dissipated. Especially when she raised her head and found Peng Ming, who was standing against the door and still looked like an old man, she was suddenly not aggrieved at all.
If she really understands everything, how could she meet Peng Ming?
"Uncle Peng!" She walked up quickly and shouted, only to be met with an angry shout.
"Stinky boy, let you follow Miss Feng to protect you, you actually made people cry back? Well? ”
Feng Zhen was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was the little monkey who was chasing her, and when she turned her head and saw that the little monkey was scolded by Peng Ming, she knew that it was no wonder that the other party was about to help intercede, who would have thought that the little monkey suddenly stepped forward and muttered to her in a low voice.
"It's okay, I'm used to being scolded, just let Master nag a few words...... I heard it all just now, King Jin is usually very good, but sometimes his mouth is like a knife, and he speaks mercilessly, you forget it after listening, don't take it to heart! ”
The little monkey thought that this whispered reminder was already very cautious, but what kind of ear power did Peng Ming have? Even if he was injured for a while, after the skin injury healed, he was still old and strong, and he stepped forward and grabbed the little monkey's ear, then he looked at Feng Zhen and asked, "What the hell is going on?" What did Xiao Jingxian say to you? ”
Thinking that this is not a secret, Feng Zhen simply repeated Xiao Jingxian's words as he was, and although the little monkey desperately tried to break his ears out of the master's clutches, but his arms couldn't twist his thighs, he could only beg for mercy in every possible way, and it was easy to wait until Peng Ming let go, he hurriedly rubbed his hot and red ears, and had to say the cause and effect of the court.
And it was with the little monkey's addition that Feng Zhen, who couldn't hear the verbal confrontation in the court too clearly because of the distance, that he thoroughly understood the dangerous experience. Her originally red face turned a little blue at this moment, especially when she saw Peng Ming's solemn face, she couldn't help but ask a little anxiously: "Uncle Peng, it doesn't matter His Royal Highness the Prince, right?" ”
"Anyway, it's also the prince of the East Palace, what do you have to worry about the little girl?" Peng Ming snorted angrily, but seeing Feng Zhen's unyielding appearance, and seeing that the little monkey was also full of concern, he sighed and said, "If it was when he was still the king of England in the past, no matter what he did wrong, he would just be coquettish in front of the emperor, but now he can't take half a wrong step." ”
"Therefore, Xiao Jingxian is not wrong, if the prince is as impulsive and reckless as before, he will be in big trouble today. Fortunately, Yue Qianqiu's kid and White Lotus Sect Xiao Zhou helped him once, and he made a very wise decision himself, at least even if others said that he was overstepping his authority and arbitrary, he would not find too much fault. ”
Saying this, Peng Ming couldn't help but hesitate a little in his heart. As a prince rather than an ordinary prince, and leaving Jinling and away from the monarch's father, it is actually much more difficult and tricky to act. Sometimes, it's not just the right thing that solves the problem. As a prince, the more you do it right, the better you do, and it will also become a reason to be attacked......
Peng Ming, a person in the rivers and lakes, can understand the truth, but the little fat man didn't think about it, or rather, he didn't care about it at all. When he returned to the study in the Taishou Mansion that was temporarily used to live and meet people from the court, the first thing he did was to find a bronze mirror, and then carefully examined his face from it.
Fortunately, the bronze mirror used by Zhang Qian in the past was obviously sharpened all the time, and he could roughly see his current appearance clearly.
Obviously, it is indeed his own face, but his eyebrows and eyes have been slightly modified, and it looks so different!
The little fat man was looking left and right, and when he was in a tangled mood, he suddenly heard a cough from behind him. He tilted his head, and saw Yue Qianqiu behind him in the mirror, so he grinned and said, "I looked at this person in the mirror and was dumbfounded, Uncle Jin's method is really unexpected......"
Yue Qianqiu smiled and said disapprerovingly: "He can only make you look majestic and imposing a little if he stands up to the sky, but if you cower in the public court today and are led by the nose, then it is useless even if you look dignified, isn't there a saying called embroidered pillow and a pack of grass?" ”
The little fat man keenly heard the meaning of Yue Qianqiu's words, and was overjoyed for a while: "You mean I did well today?" ”
"Not bad." Yue Qianqiu saw that the little fat man's face was instantly elongated, and immediately laughed, "It's very good!" ”
With such a high evaluation, it was the first time for the little fat man to get it from Yue Qianqiu, and he was so surprised that he almost couldn't close his mouth at this time. However, after the ecstasy, he was almost stunned by a blow to the head.
"But you have to be mentally prepared, there will definitely be a lot of people suing you at the emperor's place, after all, Lao Jun didn't say that you should directly get rid of the dignified state guard. Moreover, even if you send Zhang Lian into the threshold car and send it back to Jinling to be disposed of by the emperor, and personally act as the Taishou of Bazhou, waiting for the imperial court to send a new person over, you can't find any mistakes in any of the measures, but it is also wrong if there is no mistake. ”
"What is this, and why is it not wrong and wrong?" It's easy to recover, and the little fat man is simply angry.
"The crown prince is the most difficult job in the world, and there is no one. If you behave badly, others will attack you for being incompetent. If you behave too well, others will also attack you and try to steal power. Don't forget, what is the danger of adding sin? Yue Qianqiu saw that the little fat man was shocked at first, and then he was a little wilted, so he shrugged his shoulders and said, "So you'd better write to the emperor to be coquettish." ”
"Huh?" The little fat man is simply stupid.
"When you encounter difficulties, when you meet good people, bad people, lovely people, hateful people, who else can you find if you don't complain and communicate with your father?" Yue Qianqiu broke through the maze as soon as he said a word, and then said with a smile, "It's up to you whether you do it or not, anyway, I'm going to write a letter to my grandfather!" ”
If you don't want to be coquettish and cute, then you deserve to be stabbed by the villain!
Seeing that Yue Qianqiu put down these words and turned around and went out, the little fat man was stunned there for a long time, and finally waved his fist angrily. Isn't it just coquettish? He also used to do it when he was in Jinling, and now he just writes what he says into letters?
