186 non-compliance (second watch)
Chen Su looked at the bright yellow holy decree placed on the coffee table, his waist straightened up suddenly, and he commanded the little waiter: "Little Duzi, enter the ......"
His words came to an abrupt end, and he saw a group of palace guards walking out of the palace in two columns, all of them were tall, with vigorous movements, and their steps were even more neat and consistent, nailed to the ground like a spear, and the momentum was awe-inspiring.
Looking inside along these palace guards, a vermilion wheel was driving towards the outside of the mansion, and next to the vermilion wheel, Gu Jue, who was wearing a moon-white robe, rode on a black horse with four hooves and snow-white, and slowly paced out.
"......" Chen Su felt that something was wrong, and exchanged a look with Lu Siji outside the carriage.
He hurriedly got out of the carriage with the help of the little chamberlain, and stopped in front of Gu Jue's horse in three steps and two steps.
"His Royal Highness King Chen," Chen Su hurriedly bowed, holding the holy decree in his hand, and said as a matter of course, "The emperor has a decree, King Chen's mansion harbors the imperial court's criminals, and orders the Jinyi guard to search the palace." ”
There was a bit of arrogance in his expression.
Lu Siji, who was not far away, also rode his horse slowly, looked at Gu Jue on horseback, grabbed the reins and hugged his fists to salute, "Don't come to the prince, our Jinyiwei is also acting on orders, if there is something offended today, please also ask the prince Haihan." ”
The brocade guards behind him were eyeing each other, and as long as Lu Siji gave an order, they would rush into King Chen's mansion like wolves.
"Search?" Gu Jue, who was on the horse, glanced at Chen Su and Lu Siji coldly, and there was no excitement in those narrow and deep eyes, as if he had heard some joke.
He hooked his thin lips and smiled.
The smile is very clear, very shallow, and has its own calm and calm that does not move like a mountain.
He said softly and lightly: "Then the king is waiting." ”
What do you mean?! Chen Su's brows furrowed tightly, and his heart was shocked and panicked, could it be that the Chenwang Mansion really wanted to resist the decree!
At this moment, Cheng Linhua also stepped out of the threshold of the main gate with the four palace guards, and said with a smile: "Gonggong Chen, what is the reason why you are stopping our prince and princess!" ”
Cheng Linhua didn't wait for Chen Su to answer, so he said to the guards behind him: "It's so crowded, it's so messy, how can the prince go, don't hurry up and 'clear the road'!" ”
The so-called "clear road", of course, is Chen Su, who is blocking the road.
Chen Su felt as if someone had slapped him in the face, and his face hurt a lot.
These guards of King Chen's Mansion would not be polite to Chen Su, and they rudely "invited" people away, driving Chen Su's feet off the ground, and his armpits and upper arms were painful as if they were clamped by iron tongs.
"Grandpa Chen!" The little chamberlain exclaimed, but he didn't dare to make a move with the people of King Chen's Mansion.
The people in the way were gone, Gu Jue lowered his head and said to Chu Qianchen in the carriage, "Let's go." ”
Chu Qianchen smiled happily.
Well, let's go!
A cart and a horse quickly drove out of the palace gate.
"His Royal Highness King Chen!"
Lu Siji turned his horse and tried to stop Gu Jue without giving up.
The brocade guards he brought moved when they heard the sound, pulled the horse rope, and wanted to stop Gu Jue, however, their horses only paced for a while, and they saw those palace guards directly draw their knives, and with a "Zheng" sound, one long knife was pulled out in a section, revealing a part of the cold shining blade, which flashed in the sun with a particularly dazzling light.
These guards used by King Chen's Mansion are different from ordinary guards, they are all retired from the battlefield, all of them are the elite of the Northland army, and all of them have the ability to defeat one enemy and ten enemies.
When they deliberately released their murderous aura, the air around them suddenly became cold, as if blood would be splattered on the spot if they didn't agree with each other.
Those brocade guards were suppressed by their momentum, and none of them dared to move again.
The air seemed to freeze.
Seeing this, Chen Su stomped his feet and shouted in a sharp voice: "Stop!" Don't stop King Chen for our family! ”
Jinyi Weiquan went to see Lu Siji's face, and no one dared to move.
Stop?! Lu Siji's face sank three points again, and his eyes were deep and unpredictable.
If they dare to stop them today, these palace guards will dare to let themselves die!
Chen Su secretly scolded Jinyiwei in his heart for being useless.
In his unwilling gaze, Gu Jue and Chu Qianchen's carriage and horse gradually drifted away along the wide street until they were completely out of sight.
When the carriage of the two came to Nanchen Street, Gu Jue asked the coachman to stop the carriage, and he himself got off the horse and walked along Nanchen Street with Chu Qianchen.
Dark Horse and Amber silently followed behind the two, keeping a distance of four or five paces.
On Nanchen Street, there are all kinds of signboards on both sides, restaurants, teahouses, dim sum shops, cloth villages, grocery stores, etc., as well as various street vendors on the roadside shouting to attract customers, which is very lively.
There were people coming and going on the street, men, women and children, all kinds of people, and the places where Gu Jue and Chu Qianchen passed by inevitably attracted a lot of amazing eyes.
Seeing that this was a newlywed couple, a sweet-mouthed merchant enthusiastically stepped forward to solicit customers, selling fat powder, handkerchiefs, purses, melons and fruit snacks...... The whole nine yards.
Chu Qianchen just glanced at it, her eyes didn't pay much attention at all, she was more curious about-
"Wang ......"
Before the word "Wang" came out, she felt that it was not appropriate to call Wang Ye outside, so she raised her hand and gently pinched his wide sleeve and shook it, "Where are you going to take me?" ”
Chu Qianchen's phoenix eyes widened, and his cat-like transparent pupils were full of curiosity and expectation.
Gu Jue almost didn't reach out and rubbed the top of her head, and replied, "Jiuya." ”
Chu Qianchen blinked.
Of course, she knew that Jiuyao was Gu Jue's character, but except for the ordinary children in the clan, few people called him that, and more often he was not Gu Jiuyao, but King Chen.
Chu Qianchen has never called Gu Jue like that, in her previous life, she usually called him the prince, and when she was away, she called him Gongzi.
But now, it doesn't seem right to call him a son.
So......
Chu Qianchen's mind was a little confused, and at this moment, a warm and loud shout sounded next to him: "Sell candy paintings!" ”
Sugar painting?! Chu Qianchen subconsciously looked over, and a vendor in his fifties with a wrinkled face was sitting on a small pestle on the side of the road, and in front of him was a wooden box with sugar paintings, and a unique sweet smell of sugar juice came to his nose.
Chu Qianchen has long passed the age of loving candy, but the sugar painting just evokes some memories of her past life.
Gu Jue had always paid attention to Chu Qianchen's gaze, she hadn't looked at anything else before, only this sugar painting made her linger again and again, so she said to the vendor who painted the sugar painting: "Draw one for us." ”
When the vendor saw that the business had come to the door, he was happy and asked with a smile, "Childe, madam, what do you want to paint?" ”
Horses like to eat sugar, and when they smell the sugar, they don't even want to leave the steady Jueying, and they scream twice.
Chu Qianchen subconsciously replied, "Let's draw a horse." ”
The Shadow flicked his tail happily.
The peddler was very skillful, and in three or two strokes he drew a heroic horse with brown syrup, and his movements were so smooth that some children on the side were reluctant to blink.
"Two copper plates." The vendor strung up a sugar painting with a bamboo skewer and handed it to Chu Qianchen.
Gu Jue took out four copper plates from his sleeve pocket, and accurately threw them into the jar on the side, making a few clicks. For these craftsmen who rely on small crafts, the sound is extremely pleasant, and the hawkers thank them repeatedly.
Chu Qianchen took the sugar painting and walked forward beautifully.
Amber in the back looked at the money jar, and then looked at Gu Jue in front, and was surprised: just now she was going to step forward to give money for the princess and princess, but she was afraid that the prince would find a broken piece of silver to make people find money.
As a result, the prince looked like he didn't eat the fireworks of the world, but he actually quite understood the world's human feelings.
So, Amber silently widened the distance between her and the two in front of her, thinking that it was better to let the two masters play by themselves, and she still didn't come to them to get in the way.
Chu Qianchen took the sugar painting in his hand and didn't eat it, but just looked at it beautifully, and the corners of his lips curved like a crescent moon.
In her previous life, on the day the prince picked her up, she was at a loss, and played a few games of chess with the prince in a sluggish manner, and then followed the prince away, and on the way, the prince bought her a sugar painting.
At that time, just like just now, the Absolute Shadow was also there, it barked twice, and the prince asked the other party to draw a horse.
She didn't remember what that sugar painting looked like in her previous life, and it didn't matter at all.
Chu Qianchen smiled even more happily, his face was slightly drunk, and he was as delicate as a pink lotus.
"So happy?" Gu Jue was a little surprised that she would be so happy, and his mood also became happy. This girl is really coaxing.
"Hmm!" Chu Qianchen nodded again and again, delicate and simple, soft and glutinous, like a child who has not grown up.
She thought that Gu Jue had specially brought a copper plate on her body today, and understood.
It turned out that the prince specially took her out to go shopping.
Chu Qianchen changed his attitude suddenly, not caring about the surrounding shops and stalls like before, buying some melons and fruits for a while, buying some handkerchiefs and purses for a while, and buying a small lantern for a while.
Chu Qianchen smiled and coaxed Jueying: "Jueying, I'll buy you candy to eat later, the front is the frosting, the sugar there is the best, you definitely like it." ”
Jueying shook his head arrogantly, as if he disdained to pay attention to Chu Qianchen.
Chu Qianchen didn't feel a little frustrated at all, but smiled.
At this time, Gu Jue stopped, and also took Chu Qianchen's hand, "It's here." ”
Only then did Chu Qianchen take his attention away from Jueying, and his eyes followed Gu Jue's line of sight, and a big signboard came into view, with the three big characters "Duobao Zhai" written on it.
Chu Qianchen naturally knew about Duobao Zhai, which was one of the four most famous silver buildings in the capital.
Chu Qianchen asked, "Wang ...... Are you going to play jewelry? ”
Gu Jue corrected: "Jiuya." ”
Chu Qianchen's expression lowered his eyes subtly.
Addressing each other with words, representing politeness, among peers, out of respect for each other, often with the majority of words, but let her call the word of the prince, she always has a sense of disrespect.
Gu Jue didn't stalemate with her, and took her hand into Duobao Zhai. As for Amber and Jueying, the people who stayed outside the Silver Building stared at the horse's eyes.
The guy who came to greet the guest happened to hear the conversation between the two, and said with a smile: "Prince Wang, Mrs. Wang, please inside." ”
Chu Qianchen: "......"
Chu Qianchen clearly heard Gu Jue beside her chuckle, and even his fingers seemed to tremble with laughter.
He looked down at her and said, "Mrs. Wang, let's go." ”
Gu Jue took Chu Qianchen's hand and entered the silver building and went up the stairs to the second floor.
When the shopkeeper saw him, he smiled very attentively, and said enthusiastically: "Gu Gongzi, the jewelry that Gongzi has made is all good, just wait for Gongzi to come and inspect the goods." This is Madame Venerable, right? The two are really talented and beautiful, a pair made in heaven. ”
"......" The guy was stunned, and said in his heart: Isn't this son surnamed Wang?
Chu Qianchen asked stupidly, "Did you order it for me?" ”
Gu Jue's head was bowed.
When he entered the palace last month, the Queen Mother specially told him how to make the little girl happy, and asked him to go to the best silver building in Beijing to order jewelry.
Although with Gu Jue's identity, he can actually let people send jewelry directly into the palace, Chu Qianchen wants to pick as many as he wants, but the Queen Mother reprimanded him again:
"This is the intention, let people send the jewelry is a matter of one sentence, and the jewelry you personally ordered in the silver building is not the same!"
"Moreover, the dowry for your daughter-in-law before was prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and you didn't care about anything that was decided, you are a man, you can't be so lazy when marrying a daughter-in-law, and the dowry that should be given should be made up."
Gu Jue also felt that the Queen Mother was right, this marriage had indeed wronged Chu Qianchen a lot.
Therefore, after returning to the door of the three dynasties, he personally came to Duobao Zhai, asked the shopkeeper to take some jewelry drawings to him, and changed it according to his wishes, so that they made a few sets of heads. He left the address next door to the palace, and yesterday the people of Duobao Zhai went there to spread the word, saying that the jewelry was ready.
He saw that he had time today, so he brought Chu Qianchen over to see the jewelry.
The shopkeeper immediately asked a few guys to take out a few trays, each tray was covered with red velvet cloth, and the cloth was placed with gold collars, earrings, bracelets, beads, jade pendants, rings and other jewelry, jewelry.
Amber settled her horse and went up to the second floor just then, feeling like she was about to be blinded.
Gu Jue asked, "Do you like it?" Let's see where else needs to be changed......"
"I like it." Chu Qianchen nodded hurriedly.
Of course she loved it!
Her eyes were sparkling, brighter than the jewels in the room, and the men on the side were almost stunned.
Looking at her happy appearance, Gu Jue's eyes softened a little.
The two of them laughed and laughed, but the emperor in the palace was not in a good mood, and in the imperial study, there was a kind of solemnity and depression that was about to come.
The deputy commander of Jinyiwei, Kong, was reporting in the imperial study: "Your Majesty, King Chen left Commander Lu and Gonggong Chen outside the palace, and went out with the princess himself, and he has not come back yet. ”
Deputy Commander Kong lowered his head, not daring to look at the emperor behind the imperial case at all, sweating like rain.
It's a difficult job.
After Gu Jue and Chu Qianchen left, neither Chen Su nor Lu Siji had the courage to break into the palace, and the situation was stalemate, and Lu Siji couldn't leave, so he sent him into the palace to return to the emperor.
"Smack!"
The emperor's hand slapped heavily on the plan, shaking the four treasures of the study on the case.
Gonggong Ni next to him also lowered his face and remained silent, secretly glad that the person who went to the palace today to deliver the decree was not himself.
The emperor's face turned pale, and he reprimanded angrily: "What a big boldness, Gu Jue is simply a kingless!" ”
Originally, because Fan Yanzhi escaped from the Teaching Workshop Division, the emperor was already very unhappy, this Fan family prides itself on being clear, and he is so disrespectful to him, the emperor, he just wants to see the only heir of their family fall into the dust and be trampled on, but this Fan Yanzhi actually dares to escape!
If it weren't for Gu Jue's people deliberately obstructing it today, how could Jinyiwei not be able to catch Fan Yanzhi!
The emperor's face became more and more ugly, and he was so gloomy that he was about to drip ink.
He actually didn't think that it was Gu Jue's people who rescued Fan Yanzhi, after all, Gu Jue has always been pro-military generals and far away from civil officials...... Or, Gu Jue deliberately prevented Jinyiwei from arresting Fan Yanzhi this time with the intention of currying favor with civil officials?!
No matter who rescued Fan Yanzhi, today Gu Jue's people dared to obstruct Jinyiwei's work in front of the public, and they clearly had the intention to slap him, the emperor, in the face in public.
If he doesn't fight back today, the government and the opposition will only think that he is afraid of Gu Jue.
Jinyiwei is not afraid of a few points, but when he came to Gu Jue, he was so arrogant that he hung Jinyiwei at the door of King Chen's mansion.
Jingzhong's eyes are staring at Jinyiwei and Chenwang's Mansion, I am afraid that many mansions already know about it, and they are all waiting to see how he, the emperor, will go next.
If it goes on like this, it will become a joke for him to be a dignified emperor.
