Chapter 142: Do what you like

Back home, Liu Chengfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but feel a little relaxed, there are already many people in the Wen family, and they all heard that Liu Chengfeng is not guilty, and the whole house is already happy, although Liu Chengfeng is a passerby in the Wen family, and he also has the intention of moving out, but unconsciously, many people have regarded him as the pillar, after all, there are too few men in this family, although Wen Zheng is a parent, but Nanzhen Mansion is busy with official business, and many things can't be taken away. ChineseHearing the news, many women came out to greet them, even the middle door was opened, and the clothes for washing, bathing and grooming utensils and the family banquet for catching the wind and washing the dust were also prepared in advance.

Wen Chenruo's eyes were sharp, and when he saw Liu Chengfeng riding back, he shouted, "Brother-in-law is back." ”

This call attracted the attention of countless people, and even the pedestrians passing by on the street had to look this way at this time.

Liu Chengfeng was shocked, and thought that he owed the debt to this sister-in-law and did not pay it back, as if people were here to ask for the debt, this voice was really scary.

He turned his horse and walked over, dismounted to meet everyone, and was immediately welcomed into the mansion by the stars like a moon, so that when he saw Wen Chenxi standing alone on the side, he didn't have a chance to talk to her.

After eating the family banquet, Liu Chengfeng broke free and returned to the room with Wen Chenxi, Wen Chenxi said very little, and he didn't mean to blame him, but there was a trace of worry in his eyes.

Liu Chengfeng was a little sorry, quietly took her hand, and said, "I'm worried about you." ”

"Well......" Wen Chenxi nodded, and then quietly smiled and said: "Men's affairs, I don't understand the Fu Dao family, there is a way for the husband to sing Fu Sui, I just hope that the husband will calculate some consequences in the future." So as not to be worried. ”

This night passed, and early the next morning, a porter came to tell him, "Uncle, someone in the palace has sent a golden book." ”

"The Golden Book? What Golden Book? Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but be curious, took a gold lacquer book in the hand of the porter, and glanced at it. It turned out to be the queen's birthday, and Liu Chengfeng entered the palace to worship his birthday. Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but smile bitterly, he was a little sorry for this queen, but he didn't know if the emperor could tell Empress Zhang about the article. If she was informed, why did Queen Zhang still send the gold book?

Liu Chengfeng thought secretly in his heart: "Isn't it that Empress Zhang wants to take the opportunity to let me enter the palace so that she can teach me a lesson?" ”

Then I thought again, or maybe Empress Zhang Xiong was vast, and I didn't think it was a pestle. I thought about it for a while and didn't have a clue. But since it is the queen's birthday, this gift must be prepared, and the queen wants to reduce her guilt and bring a good gift to ask for some forgiveness. If the queen does not condemn the crime, she can also make up for some debts.

Just what to give? That's a dilemma. Ordinary treasures will definitely not be successful, it's not that Liu Chengfeng has no money. It's just that no matter how rich you are, can you compare to the emperor? This in the Forbidden City. There are all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry, even if you use all your strength, you can spend thousands of family fortunes, and it may not be able to move Queen Zhang's heart, but it is better to give some chic gifts.

Liu Chengfeng thought about it, and couldn't help but feel a little difficult, chic...... It's easy to put it.

No, you have to go to talk to the prince first, Liu Chengfeng thought so in his heart, he originally wanted to go to Baihu first, but he temporarily changed his mind, asked someone to lead the horse, and quickly went to the East Palace.

When the doorman on this side of the East Palace saw Liu Chengfeng, he didn't stop him, but went over to lead the horse for him, Liu Chengfeng asked them to feed them some better forage, and the doorman said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hasn't woken up yet, and I'm afraid that I will have to stay longer." ”

"The prince hasn't woken up yet? Why is that? ”

The doorman said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince played mahjong with Liu Jin's father-in-law last night, and he didn't sleep until the third watch. ”

Scum! Liu Chengfeng scolded in his heart, although he taught him to play mahjong, but this thing is a gadget that can be stopped, who knows that this Zhu Houzhao plays hard, and he actually learns those gamblers to play mahjong all night, and the emperor personally ordered himself to supervise the prince to study, if he knows that the prince is like this, he will definitely be furious at that time, this is simply a pit master.

Liu Chengfeng grimaced and said, "You haven't woken up after three strokes on the sun?" Why didn't anyone call? You, show me the way, and I will personally go and wake up the prince. ”

The doorman was startled, his face turned white, the prince's temper has always been bad, and this Master Liu is fine, but if the prince is woken up and knows that he took Liu Chengfeng to go, will this be repaid?

Liu Chengfeng's eyes widened, and he said viciously: "What are you still doing in a daze!" ”

Who knows, the prince's voice came from afar, this Zhu Houzhao came out from behind a photo wall at some point, with a few eunuchs behind him, looking like he was going out, he saw Liu Chengfeng from a distance, and said with surprise and joy: "Master." ”

Liu Chengfeng greeted him, Zhu Houzhao grabbed Liu Chengfeng's sleeve and said, "This palace is looking for you, something happened." ”

Liu Chengfeng said: "Didn't you say that His Highness is sleeping?" ”

Zhu Houzhao's face flushed, and he said hurriedly: "At this time, where can I still take care of sleeping?" To tell you the truth, I recently got the news that this time on my mother's birthday, I invited many people to the palace. ”

Unexpectedly, Zhu Houzhao was also for Empress Zhang's birthday, Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but say: "What is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince worried about?" ”

Zhu Houzhao and Liu Chengfeng walked towards the depths of the East Palace, and said: "This time, I also invited King Ning and his son to enter the palace, and King Ning and his son revealed the rumors, saying that they were to celebrate the birthday of the queen mother and give the queen mother a big gift." ”

Zhu Houzhao said with a look of refusal to admit defeat: "The queen mother of this palace has a birthday, but what gift do you want him to give?" They did this clearly to give Bengong a good look, so that others would say that their son was not as good as outsiders. Master, let's talk about what kind of gift this palace should give. ”

Liu Chengfeng's eyes widened and said, "Master still wants to ask you, who knows that you still want to ask me." What's this...... Well...... this."

Zhu Houzhao has formed a dependence on Liu Chengfeng, but whenever there is anything, he feels that this master will definitely have an idea, when he saw Liu Chengfeng hesitated, he couldn't help but wipe a trace of disappointment in his eyes, and said: "It turns out that the master doesn't know, this is miserable, King Ning's father and son are the most cunning, and the financial resources are abundant, although the palace is the prince, but there are only so many monthly cases every month, this time I am afraid that I will be laughed at." ”

Zhu Houzhao, Liu Chengfeng and King Ning father and son are considered to have formed a relationship, this time Empress Zhang's birthday, the gifts sent by both sides will definitely become the talk of the market, everything is good at the feet of this Tianzi, the only bad thing is that there are too many idlers, everyone has nothing to do, naturally they have to talk about some gossip, as for the secrets of the palace and the yamen, it is even more eye-catching, it can be said that the wild history of the past dynasties is circulated in the Beijing division of each dynasty, although the court has repeatedly strictly ordered the people not to talk about the palace, but the more you prohibit anything, you can't stop anything, On the contrary, it makes people talk about it, there is a bit of thorniness and mystery, Hongwu and Emperor Wen were better, but in the Hongzhi Dynasty, it was almost completely out of control, and the yamen turned a blind eye, and Dongchang and Jinyiwei rarely caused this trouble.

Liu Chengfeng saw Zhu Houzhao's disappointed look, knowing that this young man was arrogant, especially he couldn't bear to be compared with King Ning's father and son, he groaned for a moment, and said: "But it's not completely impossible, I heard that King Ning's father and son have a lot of money, and this trip to Beijing alone, the gifts to others cost a huge amount of gold and silver, they have money, and they can probably buy any precious gifts, but the most important thing about gift-giving is to be able to do what they like, not the more expensive the better." ”

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up, and he said, "What the master said is right, but what should this palace give?" ”

Liu Chengfeng spread his hands and said, "Who will I ask?" ”

Zhu Houzhao was depressed again. Liu Chengfeng patted him on the shoulder and said: "It's better to be like this, you and the queen mother are in-laws mother and son, what are the queen's preferences, you always know, it's better to be like this, let's think about it, think about what the queen mother likes, what she hates, and then how about the right medicine?" ”

"That's a good idea." Zhu Houzhao came to his senses again and said, "Go to the room and say." ”

The two hooked their shoulders and carried them to a side hall, then Liu Jin poured tea for Liu Chengfeng with a smile, Liu Chengfeng's impression of Liu Jin was not good, he just nodded at him, Liu Jin at this time was just an ordinary little eunuch, and Liu Chengfeng didn't have to talk too much with him.

Liu Chengfeng said: "Zhang Yong, you go and get a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to write down the queen's preferences and some life habits." ”

"Do you really want to write?" Zhu Houzhao asked.

Liu Chengfeng said: "This is natural, since this matter involves King Ning's father and son, we can't take it lightly." Who is this King Ning and his son, His Royal Highness doesn't know, they are taking the opportunity to insult us, we don't fight unprepared battles, of course, we have to guess what the queen likes the most, what I don't like the most, so that we can do what they like and compare King Ning and his son. Moreover, there must be a lot of princes and ministers who entered the palace to celebrate their birthdays that day, and His Royal Highness must not be embarrassed in front of so many people. ”

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he became serious, he is like this, he usually laughs and laughs, but once it comes to losing face, this young man will inevitably be a little competitive in his heart, so he urged Zhang Yong to take the pen and ink, thought about it, and thought about it, so he thought of the various preferences of the queen mother and wrote it down.

Liu Chengfeng didn't forget to say: "It's not just about writing about your preferences, but also about what your mother doesn't like." ”

Zhu Houzhao snorted, put down the pen, and made a lot of tea work before it was done, and showed it to Liu Chengfeng, who took this note and sat on the chair, and fell into thinking for a while.
