Chapter 219: Beauty
In the imperial city, there are many high walls, very solemn and quiet, from time to time you can see columns of military guards passing by, passing several thick wall arches in a row, the carriage stopped slowly, Ruyi jumped down first, stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, and said with a smile: "Han Gongzi, wait a minute, I will report to the prince." ”
Han Rui nodded, and also knew that the East Palace was not an ordinary mansion, and it was not so easy to get in, and when he went to confess his guilt, Han Rui also jumped out of the car, and looked at the place where Li Chengqian lived curiously.
In front of the open vermilion lacquer gate, there are eight sturdy military guards, cloaked in armor, without squinting, holding a sharp halberd in their hands, since they can act as a guard of honor, if they encounter danger, the guy in their hands is naturally not vegetarian, and although the hall passage seems to be unmanned, they can drive straight in, but Han Rui has reason to believe that in such an important place, there must be a hidden killing machine inside, and I don't know how many knife and axe hands are ambushed...... Eight hundred, one thousand, or more, just when Han Rui was secretly guessing, Ruyi didn't know where to appear, and said with a smile: "Han Gongzi, the prince is very happy to hear that you are coming, but now he is listening to Mr. Lecturing, and for a while, he can't get out, so let me take Han Gongzi in first." ”
Learning is important, it is understandable, under the leadership of Ruyi, Han Rui happily walked, entered through the small door next to the vermilion lacquer gate, walked through the corridor, next to the hanging flower arch, there were also sergeants guarding, Ruyi was also prepared, showing Li Chengqian's hand, naturally unimpeded.
After passing the arch, Ruyi continued to take Han Rui in the winding corridor, but as if he was going to dizzy him, he turned around and around, and when he came to the back, Han Rui couldn't even figure out the southeast and northwest, so he simply concentrated on following Ruyi to ensure that he didn't lose it.
After walking for a while, his eyes suddenly opened up, and a gorgeous palace appeared in his heart, Ruyi turned around and smiled: "Master Han, here, this is the prince's bedroom." ”
Han Rui was slightly stunned, he didn't want to bring himself here, his steps immediately hesitated, and he said softly: "Ruyi, I'm afraid it's not very suitable for me to come here." "You must know that the prince's dormitory is similar to the emperor's harem/palace, and it should be forbidden for other creatures with male surnames other than himself to set foot in.
Blinking his clear eyes, Ruyi understood his meaning, and said with a chuckle: "Han Rui doesn't have to worry, this is the prince's order, there is no need to shy away from it now, after a few days, it will naturally be difficult to say." ”
Oh, yes, Li Chengqian officially accepted the concubine in a few days, and now there is no hostess in the palace, Han Rui pondered it, and indeed had a little less worries, and continued to move forward, walking through the smooth and slightly shiny brick and stone path, and came to the hall of the palace, looking at it a little, but to Han Rui's surprise, there was no extravagance and luxury here as he imagined.
There are a few screens on the table, and thin curtains of light gauze are hung around them, the furnishings are very simple, without the slightest bead curtain and jade embellishment, and the degree of luxury is not at all one-tenth of the eldest grandson Wuji's mansion, Han Rui feels that if he is willing to spend more money, the layout of the home may be a little better than here.
"If you're not in the wrong place." Han Rui was a little confused and unabashedly revealed.
"How?" Ruyi explained: "We are slaves and maids, and we also feel that the East Palace utensils are used less, and we want to have a play, but the queen replied that for the prince, the virtue suffered from is not established and the reputation is not known, why worry less than the utensils, after that, the prince did not mention it, that is, now the concubine is festive, but a few bedrooms inside are arranged, and the rest of the places have not moved." ”
It's also pitiful, Han Rui sighed secretly, but he also felt that it was not a good thing, after all, simplicity and economy have always been a fine tradition, but many people can't do it, including themselves, think about it, it's also strange, why can't you do it, just ask others to do it.
The reason is also very simple, seeing that some people use their hard-earned money to have fun, it is heartache that people feel heartbroken, naturally, those people will definitely not think so, they will feel that it is a natural thing, such as Yang Guang, so he died, in the past two years, Li Shimin has also begun to have such signs, fortunately, under the direct advice of Wei Zheng and others, he is more able to restrain and restrain himself.
"Ruyi, have you arrived?"
Just when Han Rui was "worried about the country and the people", someone walked in from outside, looking for prestige, only to see a "beauty" walking slightly, a pair of clear and bright, slightly childish eyes, flashing with crystal luster, exquisite and beautiful facial features, indescribably beautiful, almost mistaking him for a woman.
Well, Han Rui had to admit that at first glance, he also thought that the person who came was a woman, but after seeing the person's outfit clearly, he realized that something was wrong, especially when Ruyi greeted him and called for his heart, he was stunned in his heart, and then he came to his senses.
"Is this Han Gongzi?" Satisfied, the white clothes fluttering, very handsome, clear and bright eyes swept by, the long eyelashes flashed slightly, and under the background of the pure pupils, it constituted a unique charm.
"Yes, satisfied, why did you come out, is the lecture over?" Ruyi Zhang Pan asked, "What about His Royal Highness the Prince?"
"No, it's over, Mr. Zhang is interested, delaying the lecture time, His Royal Highness is helpless, and it's not easy to leave, let me come over to explain the situation to Han Gongzi, please forgive Han Gongzi." Said satisfactorily, approached, and saluted elegantly.
Han Rui hurriedly waved his hand, saying that he would not care, and took the opportunity to look at it without leaving a trace, there was no sign of grease and powder, every move, including the voice, was extremely natural, either acquired long-term training, or congenital formation, although Han Rui thought that his orientation was absolutely not abnormal, he had to sigh at his outstanding demeanor, and he was more worried in his heart.
Naturally, as a traverser, Han Rui's concept is not open, and his mind will definitely not be conservative, let alone discriminate against some normal phenomena that are in line with physiology, but there must be some resistance in his heart.
Besides, with Li Chengqian's identity, how can it be easy to make such a demon moth, Han Rui's mind was full of thoughts, he was silent, and he was hesitating.
At this time, the two of them were not idle, from behind the screen, they took out a cup of wine, as if they had been ordered in advance, and the maid came outside with fresh fruit and delicacies, put them on the table, and retreated.
Raising a glass and taking a sip of wine, Han Rui looked calm, and asked with a smile: "Satisfactory, you look so similar, are you not brothers." ”
Looking at each other and smiling with satisfaction, not only the delicate facial features are similar, like a pink carved jade, but also the expression is similar, quite a beautiful woman smiling style.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince often says the same." There was more contact, so he naturally responded by Ruyi, and said with a smile: "But even if we are not brothers, we are better than brothers." ”
The two held hands and smiled, without scruples about Han Rui beside them, which shows the depth of friendship, but then again, the two weak and delicate young men are intimate, and they don't seem to be disgusted, if they are replaced by other masculine men...... Holding back the feeling of nausea and nausea, Han Rui felt that he would most likely step forward and kick it.
Raising a glass to cover up, Han Rui continued to inquire: "Where are you from, how did you come to the East Palace on an errand." ”
Han Rui asked very directly, and calmly, he would not suspect him of ulterior motives, but he felt that his curiosity was stronger, and Li Chengqian instructed the two of them to treat Han Rui well, and the question was not a confidential and private matter, so the two of them were not wary, so they naturally answered.
"The satisfaction is that the family is poor, or I am the same, I can't remember clearly, anyway, since childhood, we grew up in the Taichang Temple Teaching Workshop, and later thanks to the attention of His Royal Highness the Prince, we went to the East Palace as a servant." Ruyi smiled, and the answer was simple, but he couldn't hide the loss, bitterness, and pain.
After all, no matter how lacking Han Rui is in common sense, he knows what kind of place the Jiaofang Division is, and there may not be the darkness he imagined, but two helpless children, living in that kind of place, will definitely not be able to avoid the treatment of whipping and scolding.
Han Rui felt guilty in his heart, and said apologetically: "It's me who asked too much, and it's really rude to touch the sad past of the two of you." ”
"Why, we're used to it, and we don't think there's anything wrong with it." Ruyi smiled, having said that, his expression couldn't help but pass a wisp of sadness.
Han Rui was interested, no longer mentioned it, and instead said: "Crown Princess, what are the regulations, and where is the banquet held?" ”
This aspect seems to be more understanding, and immediately said: "According to the etiquette formulated by the ceremonial officials, first welcome from the Suzaku Gate, pass through the imperial city, until the Chengtian Gate, pay homage to Your Majesty and the Queen, accept the congratulations of the civil and military officials, and then enter from the Taiji Palace, worship the Taimiao, return to the East Palace, as for the banquet, it is located in the Chengtian Gate." ”
In fact, going in and out is also a casual question, anyway, when participating in the banquet, most of them can't help it, such as worshipping the Taimiao and other things, there must be no share between themselves and the officials, as long as you obey the arrangement of the ceremonial officials, be careful, and don't go out of Louzi.
When chatting, a burst of clogs came, as if there were a few people accompanying him, hearing the movement, Han Rui naturally thought that Li Chengqian had returned, and quickly stood up and walked to the hall door to greet him, but he saw a chubby middle-aged man walking towards him, with a round belly and a doughy face with a smile, but it was Uncle Guo's eldest grandson Wuji.
Seeing Han Rui here, the eldest grandson Wuji was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "Han Rui, no wonder I searched Chang'an City and didn't find you, it turned out that I hid here, which is indeed unexpected." ”
"He is worthy of being the eldest grandson's uncle, and he is extremely well-informed." Han Rui saluted and chuckled: "Even if you are hiding here, you will still find out." ”
"Ho, don't talk nonsense." The eldest grandson Wuji waved his hand, not much worried, but still explained: "Coincident, it's a complete coincidence, a certain person came by order to arrange the wedding for His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"It's really hard work." Han Rui said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still listening, please come and sit in the hall for a while." ”
"Who said it wasn'......" Eldest Sun Wuji said, suddenly blinked his eyes, and reacted, Li Chengqian is not here, according to the intimacy, he seems to be the master, how can he let Han Rui, a guest, greet him.
