Chapter 42: Night in the Apricot Blossom Forest (2)

Previous Chapter

Chen did seem to be an outsider, and while taking steps again, he told Lianyi about the past, which was simply eloquent: "The two of them, the big and small concubines, married our uncle and nephew. Concubine Xiao Hu is the princess of the former prince Chen Wei. ”

Throughout the ages, the royal family and the aristocracy have married each other for the sake of power, but in the end, there are so many suitable marriages. The generation is a little confused, and it doesn't matter if a sister marries an uncle or nephew.

"The two young couples are deeply affectionate. As the first prince, Wei'er was often called to the palace. Of course, Concubine Hu is not at ease. for fear that I would kill her husband. I heard that she waited on the balcony of the palace where she could see it at home every time, holding the jade pendant given to her by her husband. After Wei'er really never returned, she waited for a day and a night, and received a grace decree, and heard that it was I who made Wei'er a monk. But she didn't believe it and died on hunger strike. The queen went out of the palace to see her at that time, and she was still holding the jade pendant in her hand, which was taken out by the queen herself, so that she could be buried. As for the other people in the palace, as well as the relatives of Wei'er's mother and wife, which one is not inextricably linked with the royal family, and they are slowly forgotten. is infatuated, only Concubine Xiao Hu. ”

Lianyi was a little puzzled, "The qin left in Caicaolou when my sister left was given by the queen's mother, and the jade pendant on the forehead of the piano?" ”

"Hmm." Chen said.

Lianyi was also embarrassed to ask: Then your husband and wife have a suspicion because of Chen Wei's death?

Really, what role does the queen play in this matter!

Behind him, he suddenly remembered his footsteps, and then stopped suddenly.

This person is very good, obviously, his whereabouts before, even Chen Qu was not aware of it.

Lianyi turned around and saw the last falling apricot blossom, and the hazy moonlight shrouded the prince of the dynasty: Chen Yu.

Chen Yu knelt down to his father, and Lian Xiang knelt down to Chen Yu.

Recently, the prince was really ridiculous for a while because of Hewei's elopement, and he only cheered up in the evening, and went to the mansion of King Shuo Chen Shuo for a long time to talk about the royal brotherhood, and then rushed back to the appointment. He didn't expect his father to be here, and he didn't hear the conversation in front of him.

However, the picture of Lianyi standing in front of the emperor was enough to shock him.

"My son's greetings to His Majesty the Emperor. Hooray, hooray, hooray. ”

"Oh, I'm looking for Lianyi."

Chen did call Xu Lianyi by his name.

"Not really." Chen Yu denied this statement, as the crown prince, in front of his father, who was the emperor, he had been holding a string, what was the matter of coming out in the middle of the night to find a woman? "Erchen went to the eldest brother's house to return from the banquet and took a break for a while."

Chen Zheng is the eldest son of Chen Qushu.

Chen Qu smiled, "Then you and I have a spiritual rhino, and Lianyi and our father and son also have a spiritual rhino, and they are all dissipated." Get up. ”

Lian Yi muttered in her heart, this prince is in front of his father, and his lies will come as soon as he opens his mouth.

Everyone said "Emperor Mosheng's family", and it really makes sense.

Chen Qu glanced at Lianyi, "Do you dare to walk back by yourself?" ”

"Dare."

"Then, stand down, let's take a few steps with father and son."

Lianyi sighed, squatted down, and looked aroundβ€”now, unlike when she first came out, she could tell the direction. On one side is the cold palace, and on the other side is the east palace. Lianyi lowered her head, stepped back in the direction of the East Palace, turned around after ten steps, and slowly left.

Lianyi saw Jin Bei in the dark, and she didn't dare to speed up her pace, so she could only hold back her anxiety and walk over step by step.

Step by step, looking at him in the eyes.

He didn't dare to move, his eyes looked at her.

As they got closer, the two men smiled at each other.

Jin Bei stretched out his hand and pulled Lianyi close to him, and whispered, "Are you going back now?" Or do you want to hear a little? ”

It was a bad idea, but Lianyi gently agreed, "Hmm." ”

She didn't even need to be confirmed, as if she instinctively believed that Jin Bei's ability would never be discovered.

She was picked up by Jin Bei, and then found him quickly and silently re-approaching the place where the royal father and son were standing.

Chen was talking to Chen Yu.

"Lianyi, this child, is very unsuitable to serve you. You meditate for a few days, and I will choose a better one for you to be a side concubine. ”

"Father, isn't the eight characters of Lotus Meaning still good?"

"It doesn't matter if the eight characters fit together or not. Am I going to hurt you? ”

"Father, Lianyi has already entered the palace, if she doesn't seal the side concubine, let her go out of the palace to marry whom?"

Lianyi heard that Chen Yu was thinking about himself, and this was what he was most worried about, and he felt warm in his heart.

Chen Qu sneered, "Why did she leave the palace?" It's all in. Can't she serve me? ”

Lianyi felt that she was suffocated for a moment. Her head was buzzing, and when she heard Chen Yu's voice, it was gentle, "Father, you have only seen that child once, she is very stubborn and ignorant, and her sons can still take care of her, I'm afraid that if she is placed by your side, it will only make you angry." ”

"I'm not old, I'm more interesting." Chen Qu's steady voice couldn't tell him that he was making a shameless request to his son.

Chen Yu was on par with his father, and he continued to have no mood of joy or anger, "Father, Lianyi said that she likes her sons." ”

"Just these days?"

"At least I'm starting to like Erchen."

"Oh, then you and I, father and son, each have their own abilities, let's see what she wants."

After Chen Qu finished speaking, he turned around and left. Chen Yu knelt down to send him off, and he didn't get up for a long time.

Jin Bei quickly and silently withdrew from the apricot blossom forest with the lotus intention on his back, returned to the small courtyard of the East Palace, and went straight to the ear room.

Jin Bei squatted down to tie a red rope around her ankles, and Lianyi suddenly stopped him with his hand, "Forget it, don't change it, I'll wear it like this, and wait for the master in the bedroom." ”

Jin Bei asked her in a low voice, "Don't panic. However, His Highness may be angry again. ”

Jin Bei and Lianyi have figured it out, and Chen Yu's pressure from the world and the emperor outside is all involved in the elopement of Hewei, and then the Lianyi who vented it wantonly.

"My God, Jin Guard, doesn't the emperor feel sorry for his son? Why did he bother? ”

"The crown prince is not an ordinary prince, the emperor must not only love him very much, but also guard against him. Therefore, we always have to think of all kinds of strange ways to treat him, suppress him, test him, hone him, and rob a woman. ”

"Oh, I'm a thing! I want to give it or not, filial piety or not? Are you qualified to continue to be a prince? ”

Lianyi acted on her own.

Jin Bei didn't follow her, but asked her: "Your Highness, you are also a concubine, for you, what is the difference between being the emperor's concubine and being the prince's concubine?" ”

"You, you, you, didn't let me obey Your Majesty, did you?"

"You just have to answer the minister."

"Well, in terms of the glory and peace of the Xu family, it's almost the same. Get rid of it, get rid of me and be taken to the East Palace first, if you serve the emperor again, your reputation is not very good, you say, isn't it about the same? ”

Jin Bei's face was actually full of smiles, and he couldn't suppress it, and Lianyi was stunned: "Jin Guard, what are you happy about?" ”

He still didn't answer, and still asked rhetorically: "Didn't you say that you were emotional about the crown prince?" If you want to serve another man, can you not be sad? ”

Lianyi suddenly realized, "Oh, yes, yes." I must have been stupefied. I didn't expect the emperor to be so old-faced......"

"Shhhhh

"Your Highness, can't you say whatever is in your heart."

"I know I know, I was wrong. Guards Kim, what now? ”

Jin Bei is simply in a good mood, the situation is so chaotic, but he is so happy, he really believes that he is not a righteous gentleman. "Don't worry, with the emperor here, you won't be sent back to the Xu family. Aren't their fathers and sons going to win your hearts and minds by their own abilities? Don't agree lightly. ”

"Yes, I'll use my sister's affairs as an excuse. I want to leave the palace, I want to go to Taixue, I want to go to Huguo Temple, and I can take the opportunity to go home. ”

"Yes."

"Then, Jin Guard, you are still by my side at all times, right? You have to know," Lianyi's expression was pitiful, "It's important to find out why my sister left." You'll be there for me, won't you? ”

"The minister is here. The minister is a concubine. ”

Lian Yi breathed a sigh of relief, as if what she was most afraid of was not the dangerous and complicated situation of being involved in the royal father and son's fighting spirit, but that Jin Bei would leave.

Jin Bei saw all this.

"I'm not a concubine yet!"

It's better never to be, Jin Bei thought secretly.

There was a soldier knocking on the door outside, "Is Her Royal Highness Concubine Xiao Xu here?" The prince is looking for you! ”
