Chapter 171: The Frustrated Man Finally Fulfills His Long-Cherished Wish (1)
As soon as Cui Jishu came up, he saw Shizi sitting on the ground in the dark. His shadow was a little less clear between the ruins. Cui Jishu didn't understand in his heart, why did the prince stay in Tongquetai for a few hours, but he didn't want to go home?
"Shizi, it's getting late, it's time to go home." Cui Jishu knew that he was in a complicated mood today, and he was afraid of angering Gao Cheng, so he could only persuade in a soft tone. He walked up and sat down next to Gao Cheng, trying to look him in the eyes in the dark, trying to find out something. He thought about it and added, "The prince has not returned for a long time, and the princess has to worry." ”
Gao Cheng subconsciously raised his hand and stroked his cheek, still a little painful. Rubbing his fingers lightly, he suddenly asked, "Here...... Obvious, right? ”
Cui Jishu looked at him and didn't speak at first. Only then did he realize that the prince was afraid that the princess Yuan Zhonghua would see that his face was damaged. He almost laughed out loud, but he finally couldn't hold back, didn't dare to laugh, and persuaded again, "Isn't that the son of the world going home tonight?" "He's already planning in his head, if the prince doesn't return tonight, he has to lead the prince to some interesting place to play.
Gao Cheng didn't speak, looking at Cui Jishu. Obviously, what he was thinking was not what Cui Jishu said.
Cui Jishu suddenly remembered something, "Shizi, the Lord rewarded Yuan Yuyi's dancing girl to Taiyuan Gong, do you really not know about Shizi and her?" How did she become a person in the palace of Jibei again? ”
Gao Cheng suddenly said angrily, "You came to ask me?" You have always begged for me, and you have never been a stranger, not to mention, I have long ordered you to visit Yuan Yuyi, she is in Yecheng, you don't know, and you dare to ask me again. ”
Fortunately, there is no one else here except the two of them, and they will not pass on these secrets that the prince blurted out. Cui Jishu was glad that the prince only shouted a few times angrily and did not make a move, he was already satisfied.
"Lord Lang!" Cui Jishu called out loudly, he knew exactly how to distract Gao Cheng's mind in his heart.
"What?" Gao Cheng asked angrily.
"If you don't go back, the princess will find it." Cui Jishu can be regarded as grasping Gao Cheng's weakness.
Sure enough, Gao Cheng didn't speak, stood up and walked to the steps, and immediately became like an arrow.
Cui Jishu hurriedly followed.
It was already late at night in the inner house of the General's Mansion, and although the princess Yuan Zhonghua insisted on refusing to sleep, she still couldn't help but lean on the couch and fell asleep.
The slaves and maids assigned by Ah Jiao to wait for the Lang master finally came in a hurry, and when they saw Ah Jiao, they approached and whispered, "Sister, the Lang master has come back and slept at Wang Ji's place." ”
"Coming back?" Ah Jiao was a little surprised, as if she couldn't believe it, and asked again, "Have you seen Lord Lang?" ”
"Nope." The slave maid was a little melancholy, and replied, "As soon as Master Lang came back, no one paid attention to him, so he hurried straight to Wang Ji's residence. ”
Ah Jiao knew what to ask, and the slave wouldn't know so clearly. There are many concubines in the world, and it is common for them to go to someone's house. It's just that today, the princess is waiting for the prince to come back, and she can't see that the prince is not at ease, so she deliberately waited. Ah Jiao originally thought that as soon as the prince came back, she would quickly order someone to invite the princess to come here, but who knew that it would be divided. How should this be explained to the princess?
Ah Jiao glanced at the princess Yuan Zhonghua, who was still sleeping in her clothes, and didn't know if she should wake her up.
The courtyard where the Wang family lives is itself in a corner, and there are not many Gao Cheng who come on weekdays, so the courtyard is very quiet. Since the general returned from his expedition to the west, he has not stayed here. The Wang family knew that the main mother was born prematurely, and the daughter she gave birth to died young, and the son would not think of coming to her. That's why I went to bed early every day.
Who knew that today he suddenly woke up from his dream and said that the son of the world was coming. Wang almost suspected that he was dreaming or had heard it wrong. Half-conscious, he was helped up by the slave maid, and before he had time to change his clothes, he heard the footsteps at the door and the sound of talking. That voice was so good, Wang's heart trembled slightly, and he immediately woke up without any sleepiness. So carefree in the middle of the night, who else could it be if it wasn't the son of the world?
Sure enough, I saw that Gao Cheng had already walked in. He also wore a three-beam Jinxian crown on his head, and his silk robe was stained. Closer to the scene, the smell of leftover wine soaked in the robe was simply turbid. Wang inadvertently raised his head and found the blood stain on Gao Cheng's right cheek, and he was so frightened that he blurted out exclaim.
Princess Feng Yi Yuan Zhonghua was still young when she married the prince Gao Cheng, and before Yuan Zhonghua and Gao Cheng were husband and wife, the Wang family had always been very favored by the prince as a concubine. Wang's age is only three or four years older than Gao Cheng, and now is the time of the splendid Chinese year, but unfortunately he has never given birth.
She forgot to see the courtesy, so she came up and stroked Gao Cheng's cheek and asked, "Husband, what's wrong?" She loves Gao Cheng's appearance very much, and now seeing such damage, it is indeed heartache to the extreme. I didn't dare to use force, for fear of hurting my husband, so I only dared to gently stroke it with my fingers.
Her fingers are delicate, soft and lubricated, but they are slightly cool. But this slightly cool feeling made Gao Cheng feel very comfortable. But he cherishes his appearance and doesn't want others to make such a fuss about it. Turning his head for a flash, he said lightly, "It's nothing." If you're tired, go to bed quickly. ”
The Wang family didn't dare to ask more, and commanded the slaves and maids to change clothes and wash the prince, Gao Cheng only let them serve, without saying a word, all he thought about was the things in the Zhaotai Hall today. suddenly remembered, has Yuan Yuyi been taken back to the mansion by her younger brother Gao Yang? Will Gao Yang pamper this dancing girl? Does Gao Yang know about his previous relationship with Yuan Yuyi?
I finally lay down on the couch refreshed, put down the bed tent, and felt really comfortable in the dark. I didn't feel tired or cold after staying on the Tongque Terrace for so long, and I kept thinking about one thing in my heart. I'm afraid that I will come back early, and the princess Yuan Zhonghua will see her embarrassed appearance with a broken face. Now as soon as I stretched and relaxed, I suddenly felt sleepy.
Wang reached out and crossed his arm across his chest, hooked his neck, and softly called "Husband." She was with him as prime ministers, her lips were in his ear, and she whispered, "The husband hasn't been here for a long time, and the concubine is really missing." She clung to him.
Gao Cheng was already sleepy, but suddenly he was interested again, and turned over and pressed her under him. For a moment, he suddenly thought, I don't know if Yuan Zhonghua is asleep? Did you know he's back? Do you know that he is sleeping here with the Wang family?
Yuan Zhonghua woke up suddenly, looked up sleepily, and knew that the night was already deep. called out "Ahma".
Ah Jiao immediately responded and came over.
"Hasn't the prince come back yet?" Yuan Zhonghua asked a little anxiously.
"Madam, the prince has returned." Ah Jiao had to answer.
"Why didn't you wake me up?" Yuan Zhonghua hurriedly got up.
"Madam, the son of the world has gone to rest." Ah Jiao was afraid that she would go out impulsively, so she quickly understood.
"Sleeping?" Yuan Zhonghua sat back in amazement. As if unintentionally, he asked, "Where does the prince sleep?" ”
"In ...... In Wang Ji'......, "Ah Ji was stunned, but she still said it." Who doesn't know the merry temper of the son, and there is nothing to hide.
Yuan Zhonghua didn't speak, and she didn't feel sleepy at all.
Gao Cheng was very comfortable and lay back on his pillow. I can't put into words how I feel after being extremely tired, and I feel as if it's getting dawn. Tired, and sleepless. Suddenly, he turned his face to the Wang family beside him. Wang was also very tired, and in a half-dream, she heard her husband ask her, "Did you see the injury on my face just now?" ”
"My husband is still the same as before." Wang couldn't bear to talk to him directly, it did look a little shocking.
"Oh, that's good...... That's good, very good, very good. Gao Cheng actually stroked his cheeks, looking relieved, no longer the general in the court, and returned to the naughty world.
"Husband, don't worry, this is a small injury, although it looks scary, it will be fine in a few days." Wang comforted him.
"Okay." Gao Cheng turned over, his eyes were about to be opened, he was not sleepy just now, but now he was about to fall asleep. Before falling asleep, he muttered to himself, "These **** live here with you, don't let the princess see ......"
I see. It's not that I'm worried that this injury won't heal, but that I'm worried that the princess will see that he is so unbeautiful. Wang didn't dare to think about it, Gao Cheng was already asleep, but she still moved around, pressed against his back, and hugged him tightly with her arms.
I thought that there would inevitably be an uproar after the day of Zhaotaiguan. But as many days passed, the strange thing was that Yecheng was calm and a little bit unreal. The general Gao Cheng ignored it and put everyone who should have been in prison in prison, but he never had a thunderous anger again, but he looked calm. And the hundred officials, who were originally panicked, gradually became less panicked. Because the general even put Sima Ziru, Sun Teng and others in prison, so what else do they have to say. It is said that the general also made it clear that even the Duke of Puyang County and Hou Jing, the assassin of Yuzhou, would also be imprisoned and confiscated his family property.
In the mansion of Taiyuan Gong Gaoyang, Li Zu'e, the Duchess of Taiyuan, looked up at the cloudy sky in the afternoon. It was like this for several days, the clouds were thick, but it did not rain, and no thunder could be heard. It's unsettling because you know there's going to be a heavy rain. But who knows when this heavy rain will fall? Will it drench yourself? You can't just hide at home and do nothing and not go anywhere just because of the heavy rain at the wrong time, right?
The moonlight walked slowly in the yard where he lived, and the pear blossoms were snow-white, and they were blooming beautifully. Early in the morning, her husband, Taiyuan Gong Gao Yang, left the house and has not returned until now. She didn't know what her husband was doing outside or who she was seeing. She didn't ask, and he didn't say.
Yueguang had to admit that since she married Gao Yang, although he was not the person she wanted to marry, but he was already a couple, she naturally had to treat him like a husband. I can't only have him in my heart, but at least I do my duty as a wife and be polite and thoughtful. And her husband Gao Yang is a taciturn person who is always gentle and considerate to her. Even before she went to see her mother Concubine Lou that day, she was teased by her eldest brother Gao Cheng like that, and Gao Yang never got angry when she came back, nor did he interrogate her about anything. On the contrary, he persuaded her, saying that the eldest brother was a joke and didn't have to be taken seriously.
Moonlight is really an indescribable feeling in my heart. She treats people seriously, but he treats her like a joke. The person she had never thought of was so understanding. So although I also feel that my husband Gao Yang's temper seems to be a little weird, I have to admit that it is already very good to her.
Moonlight suddenly remembered the dancing girl that the emperor gave to Gao Yang a few days ago. Since the dancing girl was given by the emperor, Gao Yang would naturally bring it back to the house. But Gao Yang placed her in a secluded courtyard and never asked again. Gao Yang doesn't have any concubines, he only treats Mrs. Yan wholeheartedly, which is also a point that Yueguang gradually has a good impression of him.
Moonlight looked up at the sky again, thinking that she didn't know when the rain was going to fall, but she didn't know when she would be back.
"Madam, the general has broken in!" A slave broke in from outside the courtyard, panicking, startling Moonlight and several slaves and maids around her.
"What are you panicking about? Which great general? Who dares to trespass on the Taiyuan Mansion? "Moonlight's maid Wan'er is very sharp-toothed, and she first came up to question this slave who had lost her manners.
Moonlight also had this question, so she didn't stop Wan'er, and she looked at the slave maid in confusion and waited for her to answer.
"That's it...... It's just ......" The slave may not be good at words, but she choked on her words, and did not know how to answer. If you want to say that in Yecheng, when it comes to the three words "general", is there anyone who doesn't know? But their mistress didn't know. "It's the prince, the eldest brother of Lord Lang." The slave thought that the general might have come here, so she simply let loose herself regardless of the courtesy.
"Shizi!" Wan'er was taken aback. She knew this son from Tenglong Mountain in Jinyang, and subconsciously glanced at Madame.
"What is he doing here?" Moonlight asked unhappily. She couldn't forget Gao Cheng's teasing of her when she met Concubine Lou that day, which hurt her face.
"How do slaves know? Madame, let's go out and have a look, maybe the general will break here. The slave who reported the news said urgently.
No one dared to take this slave's words as a joke, and they knew the general's temper in their hearts.
"This ...... I ......" Moonlight looked at his clothes, a little hesitant. She was wearing Yanju's skirt, and she didn't expect Gao Cheng to break in. It's too late to dress up and change clothes now. But in the end, she still made up her mind and walked outside, followed by Wan'er and the others.
Gao Cheng didn't actually go to the house. He was a little surprised when he knew that his younger brother Taiyuan Gong Gao Yang was not in the mansion, but it didn't matter, he didn't come to see him. Cui Jishu, who followed him, called a cangtou slave in the Taiyuan Mansion, and asked where the dancing girl given to the Taiyuan Duke by the emperor was placed? Asking this little thing naturally doesn't need a long history. When the cangtou slave was trembling and didn't know how to answer, fortunately, the master's mother, the Duchess of Taiyuan, had already arrived after hearing the report.
