Wang Xi was surprised and said, "You have already gone to see Lord Yu?" ”

"Hmm!" Chen Luo nodded and said, "This matter was told to me by Lord Yu. said that Jiang Chuanbo helped the Qingping Marquis Mansion. Lord Yu also tactfully asked me to help inquire about what the emperor was going to do? If the money in the inner treasury is not enough, let the household department think of a way. But this kind of misappropriation of the state treasury is not good. If it spreads, it will also damage the prestige of the emperor. ”

In fact, what Yu Zhongyi said was much worse than this, but Chen Luo felt that there was no need to tell Wang Xi one by one, which polluted her ears.

Wang Xi felt that Yu Zhongyi was worthy of being a cabinet scholar, and he got to the point in a few words.

She asked Chen Luo: "Then are you going to help Lord Yu inquire?" ”

When Chen Luo heard this, he refilled some tea for Wang Xi, and then said, "I also want to know what the emperor thinks?" Is it going to be a reserve? I'm afraid that the Seventh Prince will lose money at his age, so I have to arrange for him in advance? ”

What concubines choose to serve, in the final analysis, they are all royal concubines. When you are alive, you have to be decent, it is not good to spoil the concubine and kill the wife directly, but you are dying, and it is very common to leave a way back for the children born and raised by the favored concubine.

But even so, the use of the money from the treasury is as much as if you were calculating the wealth of the public.

Wang Xi's focus is on "Lichu". She said, "Did you find something?" ”

Chen Luo didn't hide it from her on this, and muttered: "I can't figure out why the emperor did this. I put myself in my shoes and thought about why I would do this if I were the emperor. Thinking about it, there is only this possibility. But when you think about it, it doesn't seem right. The second prince is not a narrow-minded person, not to mention taking care of his young brother, it was originally his responsibility as an elder brother, and the seventh prince did not want to seize power with him, but just spent more money to support this brother, not to mention the second prince, even if other princes ascended the throne, it can also be done. So what is the emperor worried about? ”

Wang Xi couldn't figure it out. She had no choice but to persuade Chen Luo: "Then watch slowly." Sometimes we are too anxious to wait for that time. ”

Chen Luo nodded helplessly and said, "There are too many things that have happened these days, and I feel a little irritable. ”

Wang Xi was quite understanding, and said with a smile: "What pastime do you have on weekdays?" It's better to put down all these worries and rest for a few days, maybe you can make your mood better. ”

Chen Luo thought about it, but he really couldn't think of any hobbies.

When I was young, I wanted my parents to like me, and my father said whatever he wanted, even if I didn't like it in my heart, I could sit quietly for a few hours to read and write. Later, when he was older, he knew that no matter how well-behaved and obedient he was, his parents would not take it to heart, but he was the emperor's uncle, and praised him more than once for his talent in riding and archery, and he began to practice martial arts in order to please his uncle.

As for whether he likes to read or practice martial arts, after so many years, it seems that he can't tell very clearly.

Chen Luo sat there, looking a little confused.

Wang Xi looked at it and sighed in his heart.

It can't be what she thinks, right?

All Chen Luo's likes are for practicality, and he doesn't have any other hobbies......

She suddenly felt her heart clench.

Chen Luo in front of him still has a sassy heroic spirit, but his life has nothing to do with being happy.

Wang Xi couldn't help but relieve him and said, "Do you like food?" It's just to find something good to eat everywhere when you're fine. Or do you usually play the piano, play the flute, plant a flower, cut a grass or something at home when you are idle? ”

Chen Luo was not interested in any of this, but he could feel Wang Xi's kindness and the eagerness to hope that he would be a little happier.

He couldn't help laughing and said, "Although I don't love what you said, I don't feel that life is difficult." ”

Wang Xi thought that after her grandfather handed over the family business to her father, he liked fishing very much, and said, "Why don't you try to go fishing." I thought it was interesting. Between the peaks and mountains, it's still pretty good to steal half a day's leisure. You can still think wildly. ”

Chen Luo listened, and a little Wang Xi came to mind, with white and tender arms like lotus roots, fleshy hands with ten whirlpools, dragging a small bamboo basket about the same height as her, and running around a white-haired old fisherman by the stream in the green and shaded land.

He couldn't help but laugh out loud and said, "You like fishing? ”

Wang Xi sneered and said, "I don't like fishing very much. ”

She likes to eat grilled fish.

Especially the fish from the creek behind their mountain.

The family's cook said that the fish in their creek were cold-water fish, which were better than river fish and sea fish. She didn't know why the fish in their creek were cold-water fish, but it was delicious.

Thinking of this, Wang Xi was about to drool.

Chen Luo looked at her and thought of her special appetite, so she didn't need to think deeply to know why she was.

He smiled more heartily and said, "I have a house in Xishan, and there is a stream in the back mountain. ”

After all, she lives in the Yongcheng Hou Mansion and takes the big shopkeeper as a token, she can go out for a day or two occasionally, but she can't stay for a few days.

"Let's talk about it when we have a chance!" Wang Xi said vaguely and talked about fishing with his grandfather when he was a child.

Just this little thing, two people, you and I said one sentence, and when I heard the three watch drums, I realized that the time was not early.

Wang Xi yawned.

Chen Luo hurriedly got up and said goodbye.

Wang Xi's sleepiness immediately disappeared, and he teased him with a smile: "Which door are you going to?" “

Chen Luo laughed and said, "I'll go through my door." ”

Wang Xi raised his eyebrows with a smile, and Chen Luo left Liuyin Garden with a smile, until he returned to Lu Mingxuan's inner room, the corners of his mouth were still slightly upturned, and the smile did not fade.

Chen Yu was curious and said, "Did you hear any good news when you went to Miss Wang?" You're so happy today! ”

"Really?" Chen Luo said, the person had already stood in front of the mirror, stretched his arms, and let the little maid help him change his clothes.

The person in the mirror with a little smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows is obviously the face he has seen for nineteen years, like a tree in the spring, stretching its branches and leaves, looking vibrant, vigorous, flexible and powerful.

Is this him?

Chen Luo couldn't help but take a step forward, wanting to take a closer look at the person in the mirror.

But when the height of the bronze mirror approached, the person saw more blurred.

He was stunned.

Chen Yu, who was concerned about whether the water temperature was suitable, didn't notice this, and he smiled: "My lord not only looks relaxed today, but his voice is lighter than usual. You must have met with something happy! I've been serving adults for so many years, and I can't be mistaken. ”

He put the fragrant pancreas and bath towels in the tray on the small table next to the bathtub one by one, but his mouth was not idle, and continued to nag there: "What did Miss Wang tell you?" Is it a matter of going to the Qingping Marquis Mansion? I specially asked people to inquire today, and I heard that Miss Wang got along well with those young ladies, and I got a few invitations to invite Miss Wang to my home as a guest. Miss Wang is really good. After three times and two clicks, he soon made friends with those noble girls in Beijing. The adult asked Miss Wang to help inquire about the news, but she really chose the right person! ”

Chen Luo didn't know how much to listen to such compliments a day, but Chen Yu's words today made him feel a little harsh.

What do you mean by asking Miss Wang to help inquire about the news? Without Wang Xi, what would he want to know? It's just that because of Miss Wang's appearance, some things will be simpler, as if he took advantage of Miss Wang.

Chen Luo went to wash and change clothes without saying a word, and came out with a resting middle coat.

Chen Yu came in with a small plate of snacks and a cup of hot tea, and said: "My lord, I see that you didn't eat much when you were in the Zhenguo Mansion, and now it's too late, and it's not easy to eat anything else. ”

The dim sum is osmanthus cake, the snow-white cake is sprinkled with golden osmanthus flowers, Chen Luo has eaten it at Wang Xi's place, sweet but not greasy, fragrant, he ate two pieces in a row at that time, but he didn't expect Wang Xi to let people send some over. The tea is a white peony that he thought tasted good before, the tea soup is golden and translucent, and the tea taste is mellow and sweet. They were all placed with the red porcelain bowls given by the emperor a year ago, which made him have an appetite when he looked at it.

He sighed softly.

He was in a bad mood today, not because he went to Yu's mansion and listened to Lord Yu's words. In his opinion, the emperor can do whatever he wants, anyway, the world is his, he doesn't want it, naturally someone will come to rob it. He was unhappy because he had returned from the Yu Mansion and had been called by his father to dinner.

Dinner with him was also Chen Ying.

Listen to his father's tone, because he refused to go to southern Fujian, the emperor intended to let him go to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to do a job and be in charge of the affairs of the former military governor.

Like the emperor's twelve personal guards, there are many meritorious sons and daughters of the five armies who have a title there, white-collar workers, and they are collectively called "governors", without specific official positions. But anyone who has a specific official position, such as Chen Yu's "former military governor", is an official position with real power and management. In the same way, the affairs of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies are an official position with real power. And it's still from the first product.

If Chen Luo really went to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to serve as the former military governor, he would have been promoted to three levels in a row and would have become the youngest military attache in the dynasty.

As the emperor's favorite nephew, this is nothing.

What Chen Yu couldn't stand the most was that Chen Luo was doing things in the former army where he was the governor.

Isn't this clearly telling others that the emperor wants Chen Luo to take over Chen Yu's class?

So what does it matter if the Zhenguo Mansion is established or not?

Chen Yu called Chen Luo over to ask him why he didn't go to southern Fujian?

Chen Luo felt that if he told the real reason, Chen Yu would not only not understand his feelings, but would also think that he was good or bad, as he had done many times before, and if he revealed a little hesitation to the emperor, Chen Yu would even immediately exaggerate and tell the emperor about it.

The emperor wants to give him a future, but he thinks like this, even if the emperor doesn't reprimand him after he knows about it, he will be cold to him, right?

What happens to a courtier who is cold-hearted by the emperor, I believe everyone knows.
