Chapter 261: The Beggar in Black
Chu Yu watched Ah Li sandwich a large piece of beef into Lu Guanlan's bowl, and couldn't help but sigh: "If it weren't for the fact that I look at you soft and weak on weekdays, I would have thought that you are also a master of martial arts." ”
When the words fell, Lu Guanlan also smiled.
Eating hot pot, Lu Guanlan asked how Moyuan was doing recently.
Ah Li said: "The slave went to buy today, and I happened to meet a mother-in-law who said that she was with the slave and maid. As the young lady expected, the mother-in-law was talking to the slave and maid all the way and found a shop, the ingredients in it were fresh, and the dishes were cheap. ”
Xiao Ju was a little interested when she heard this, and she didn't seem to understand the doorway inside, and said, "How cheap?" Did the dishes we cook for today's hot pot also be bought by Sister Ali there? ”
Chu Yu glared at Xiao Ju, "Silly girl, don't you understand?" Someone wants to harm your master, and you are still happy that your master ate the poison given by others? ”
"Poison ······ Poison? Xiao Ju was stunned, and the chopsticks in his hand were a little unstable.
Lu Guanlan smiled: "Don't scare my stupid girl, don't worry, there is no poison, and this dish is fresh and clean today." ”
"The slave went in and looked at the shopkeeper, and he didn't look like a good person, although he knew that it was from the second lady's side, but he looked disgusting, bought two handfuls of green onions and left," Ah Li said.
Lu Guanlan smiled "fluttering".
"If you buy so little, aren't you afraid that they will feel that they have not achieved it, and turn around and find me some new trouble?" Lu Guanlan smiled and continued.
Ah Li said: "Don't be afraid, the slave maid said that Ming'er will go again, and I guess that I will go again after all, so I won't care about it so much." ”
Lu Guanlan smiled and nodded.
Then, turning his head to look at the half-open window, he saw that the snow began to fall again.
It is only a matter of time before Lu Bingyan is impeached, and this matter is estimated to be only a day or two, no matter whether the emperor is punished or not, there is no hope for Lu Bingyan's position as the crown prince in his previous life.
As for Yun Concubine.
It's almost there, too.
When Cheng Ye arrived at Yunxi Palace, Yun Concubine was lying on the couch with her forehead wiped on, her eyes slightly closed, and her face was full of sadness.
"Niangniang, the third hall has come down," Yun Li saw that Chengye went straight into the hall, so she hurried back to the inner hall to report.
Yun Concubine didn't really fall asleep, so she immediately opened her eyes and sat up from the couch.
Then he said with a cold face: "Let him come in to this palace." ”
Yun Li immediately turned around and went to the outer hall to bring Cheng Ye in.
Cheng Ye looked calm, as if he had guessed what Yun Concubine's reaction would be, so he just went to Yun Concubine and saluted quietly, and then stood still without saying a word.
Concubine Yun stared at her son for a long time before she spoke: "Do you know that she is pregnant with your child in her belly?" ”
Cheng Ye raised his eyes, "If Erchen knows, he won't allow this kind of thing to spread." ”
Yun Concubine frowned and nodded.
Indeed, her son is also cautious, how can he let this matter spread and affect his reputation, and besides, if this matter is known to the emperor, won't it make the emperor even more dislike her son.
Thinking of this, Concubine Yun said: "Your father should have known about it, and now he has not issued an edict to you, which means that he does not plan to move you." Come to think of it, your father is still thinking about you. It's just that this incident caused your father to be dissatisfied last time, and if you don't handle it well this time, I'm afraid it will make your father even more unhappy, so you have to be careful. ”
Regarding Yun Concubine's teachings, Cheng Ye listened attentively, but he didn't listen to a word at all.
The mother didn't understand what her father was like to him, let alone what he wanted to do.
For some reason, he always felt that his father's heart for his mother was a little complicated.
Although the mother concubine has no family background, isn't it this identity that is suitable for being the most trusted person around her father?
Then why did the mother concubine be favored for many years, and gave birth to him, the third prince, but he was still only in the concubine position.
Seeing that those people in the palace are pressing the mother concubine everywhere, if it weren't for the grace in her body, I don't know what fate the mother will end up with now.
It is this kind of grace and identity that do not match the identity, so that people feel that the mother concubine is arrogant, and let the world feel that the mother concubine is a small concubine, but the honor is better than countless women in the harem.
In this way, there are so many rights and wrongs.
He didn't understand whether his father wanted to protect his mother or hurt him.
Concubine Yun saw her son listening obediently, so she comforted: "It will be a snow banquet soon, and when the time comes, the mother concubine will also help you find a young lady from a good family, so let's just suppress this matter." After all, you are still the third prince, and with this palace here, no one will say anything in the future. ”
Cheng Ye bowed slightly, "But listen to the mother's orders." ”
Yun Concubine seemed to think of something at this time, and said, "If the child in Lu Jingzhu's belly is true, do you plan to take her as a concubine in the future?" ”
Narino was silent.
Seeing this, Concubine Yun sighed, "If you don't want to, you can find an opportunity to send it away in the future." It's just that now, we still have to keep it, so it's still useful to us. Two days ago, I also sent news to the palace, saying that Lu Guanlan was sick, and now he is thinking about dragging Lu Guanlan's body down, so he can do it without knowing it. Bengong thought that if this was the case, then it would save the snow feast. ”
When Cheng Ye heard this, his eyes flashed, and his face couldn't help but change a little.
But after all, he couldn't ask Concubine Yun what was wrong with Lu Guanlan.
The strange thing is that he has always had an inexplicable feeling for Lu Guanlan, he can feel Lu Guanlan's disgust, impatience and hatred for him, but he never understands where this comes from.
He didn't understand why Lu Guanlan had such emotions towards him.
He asked himself if he had done anything to make Lu Guanlan so hateful, but every time he met Lu Guanlan, even if she pretended to be light-hearted, he could feel her deep disgust for him.
All this made him wonder, and he couldn't help but find out, but in the end, all this was not as good as his current plan.
He only thought that when the big event was decided, he would explore all this, and at that time, Lu Guanlan, a little official and a daughter, would naturally not dare not listen to him.
"Okay," at this time, Yun Concubine waved her hand, "I called you here today just to ask you, but what are your plans?" ”
Cheng Ye came back to his senses and raised his eyes to look at Yun Concubine.
"Didn't you tell Concubine Yu all about her son's plans? Why does the mother still ask? ”
Yun Concubine frowned, "That's the case, what's wrong with the ministers who support you in the court?" The mother concubine lives in the harem, and she can't see the affairs of the court, and she can't help anything, but fortunately, your father and the emperor have rewarded countless gold and silver over the years, and they can also be used to attract many officials for you. ”
Cheng Ye smiled slightly, "It's all the mother concubine who works hard for her son, and her son is very grateful." ”
Concubine Yun also smiled, with a hint of love in her eyes, "No matter what, you are also the son of this palace, and this palace naturally has to plan more for you." ”
Saying that, Concubine Yun thought of something again, and said: "You have to be careful over there, Chengmo, after all, your father still favors him very much now, if he finds some tricks, it will not be easy to do." Cheng Hao, you don't rush ahead for him in everything, Cheng Hao is a fool like his mother, some things, you can do it with his hands, there is no need to involve yourself. ”
After the order, Yun Concubine picked up the teacup with satisfaction.
Naruno just listened quietly.
But suddenly something happened in my heart.
The courtiers he arranged to be close to Cheng Mo were inexplicably rejected by Cheng Mo, but he didn't know if the warm and fragrant beauty he had arranged recently would be able to get into Cheng Mo's eyes.
If Cheng Mo can fall into this gentle country because of this, then his future actions will be much easier.
When it was almost dawn, a carriage drove by in Wen'an Fang, and threw a cloth bag from the carriage, and I don't know what the bag contained, so it lay quietly on the ground.
A man who got up early to work on the shift saw it, and opened the cloth bag to take a look, but saw a woman with unkempt hair inside, with a gray face, and she didn't know where it came from, like a beggar.
Cheng Mo had no sleep all night, and after sitting in the study all night, he saw Ziyuan push the door in.
"What about Chu Ling?" Cheng Mo asked as if he was inadvertent.
Ziyuan was a little nervous, and after a pause, he smiled and said: "I said that I went to buy dim sum from the East Market for His Royal Highness, I heard that the East Market opened a new dim sum shop yesterday, which is more delicious than the dim sum of Nan Sheng Zhai. ”
Cheng Mo just glanced at Ziyuan lightly, "You only talk so much when you're nervous." ”
Ziyuan was stunned for a moment and immediately shut up.
Cheng Mo didn't say anything more, just went out after changing his clothes and prepared to go to the court.
"Your Highness, don't you have to have some breakfast before leaving?" Ziyuan asked.
Cheng Mo shook his head.
Ziyuan had no choice but to lead the horse.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw something dark lying outside.
When I looked closer, I saw that this black thing had hands and feet.
Only then did Ziyuan see that he was a beggar covered in tattered black clothes.
It's just that this beggar is also pitiful to look at, he doesn't even have a thick coat in the winter, and only a single coat is left around his body, and half of his hands and feet are still exposed.
At this time, Cheng Mo walked to the door, and saw Ziyuan stunned at the door, so he asked, "What?" ”
Ziyuan turned around and said, "It's nothing, it's just a beggar ······"
"Hungry ······"
Before Ziyuan finished speaking, he heard the beggar lying on the ground as if he were talking.
Cheng Mo also noticed the person lying on the ground at this time, so he nodded to Ziyuan.
Ziyuan immediately approached the beggar, wanting to listen carefully to what the beggar was saying.
"Hungry ······" Another soft call.
Ziyuan heard it clearly this time, and said, "She said she was hungry." ”
Cheng Mo frowned, "Give him that little bit of food," he said, and stepped on the horse, ignoring it again.
Ziyuan nodded hurriedly, and was about to turn around and get some snacks.
At this time, the beggar's hand suddenly moved, and a pair of eyes hidden under his hair quietly watched the figure in the distance on Chengmo's horse.
This is, the second highness of Dacheng Kingdom?
