Chapter 148: The Crown Prince's Throne
Zhou Yusheng didn't know what she was going to do, but what was she going to do by reading a book and changing clothes? He wondered in his heart, but it was easier to change clothes than to study, and of course he agreed.
"Prince, you come with me!" Guo Hu took Zhou Yusheng to the changing room, where there were the clothes that Bai Shuqin asked him to find.
The dressing room was filled with a wide variety of clothes, all made of expensive silk satin, some of which were inlaid with valuable jewels.
Zhou Yusheng was wearing a white silk robe at this time, with golden auspicious cloud embroidery on it. If he had to change his clothes, he wanted to change to a dark one, which was too easy to get dirty.
He hesitated whether to choose dark blue or black.
Before he could decide, Guo Hu came out with a dark red and dark blue eunuch suit and said, "Prince, please change this one." ”
Zhou Yusheng looked at the ordinary clothes, and always felt familiar, but they were definitely not his clothes. He touched his chin and stared at the clothes for a long time before he reacted, and immediately scolded: "You kid actually dare to take the eunuch uniform and let me change it?" What a guts! ”
"This is what Mrs. Bai ordered, let you be sure to change it, otherwise you will report to the emperor in the name of disobedience to supervision!" Guo Hu's face was unusually calm.
As soon as Zhou Yusheng heard this, the fire didn't hit anywhere, "Do you think that my father came to suppress me, and I was afraid?" You are insulting the dignity of the royal family, and I will never change it! ”
He thought that if he said this, Guo Hu would compromise, and even if he didn't, at least he would persuade him. Who knew that Guo Hu didn't react, put the clothes on the empty hanger next to him, and stepped aside to stand.
"What do you mean by that?" Zhou Yusheng wondered.
Guo Hu was like a stone statue, with his hands in his arms, without even blinking his eyes, let alone paying attention to Zhou Yusheng.
This feeling of being ignored made Zhou Yusheng even more unhappy, he didn't want to be at the mercy of these two people at all, and turned around to leave. After walking a few steps, he quickly turned back, only to find that Guo Hu was still motionless.
Zhou Yusheng began to drum in his heart, and he took two steps forward, but Guo Hu still didn't understand. Now he hurriedly ran out, but the more he ran, the more panicked he became.
Bai Shuqin has a smart brain, it is impossible not to think that he will run, and Guo Hu's immobility must have been arranged by her. Maybe she had already told Zhou Tianmu that he would fall into her trap when he ran.
His pace slowed down until he finally stopped. He almost fell into the pit, he turned his head, didn't he just change his clothes, just change them!
Bai Shuqin, who was sitting in the study, was looking at the door at the moment, silently counting, and when she was counting down dozens of seconds, Zhou Yusheng came back.
Zhou Yusheng was still a little unaccustomed to wearing eunuch clothes, but he boasted that he was handsome and chic, even if he wore the most inferior eunuch clothes, he still couldn't hide the nobility he exuded.
Bai Shuqin got up, came to Zhou Yusheng, and looked him up and down. Wearing the clothes of a eunuch, he really looks like a eunuch, and he really relies on clothes.
"Yes, much more like I thought. Come with me! Bai Shuqin waved his hand at him and was about to walk outside.
Zhou Yusheng hurriedly followed and asked, "Where are you going?" ”
"Didn't you say you were different from those eunuchs? Let's see how you differ from those eunuchs. Bai Shuqin smiled like a thousand-year-old fox and became a spirit.
As they were talking, they saw Guo Hu come out wearing the clothes that Zhou Yusheng had just wore.
Zhou Yusheng couldn't believe his eyes, he knew that Guo Hu definitely didn't have such courage, and all this must be Bai Shuqin's ghost.
"Is this your idea again? Do tanuki change princes? Zhou Yusheng's mind was full of questions.
Bai Shuqin sold a pass and said, "Wait a minute, you'll know!" ”
The palace says that big or small is not small, some people are trapped in it all their lives, and some people leave their best years here and are ruthlessly abandoned.
The title of the prince is known to everyone in the palace, but only one-third of the people who have really seen the prince are in this palace at most. The rest have only heard of fame, but have not seen the person, and if they have seen it occasionally, they may have seen a shadow from a long distance.
Among them, the most unlikely to see the prince are those eunuchs who have just entered the palace and have a low status.
Bai Shuqin inquired from Zhong Yang early in the morning that the eunuchs who had just entered the palace generally did some drudgery, and the place where they stayed was called the Pure Courtyard.
The temple is on the left side of the back of the palace, and on the right is where the maids who have just entered the palace stay. Unlike other places, the clean courtyard is made of blue bricks and gray tiles, and it feels cold at a glance.
Zhou Yusheng, who was wearing a eunuch uniform along the way, was scared, if he was accidentally seen by other princes, it would be a big joke, and there was no place for his face.
Seeing that this was a place he had never been to before, he couldn't help but ask Bai Shuqin curiously, "What kind of place did you bring me to?" ”
"The Pure Courtyard, where the eunuchs stay." Bai Shuqin explained.
"Eunuchs?" Zhou Yusheng repeated it repeatedly, and wondered even more in his heart, she asked him to wear the eunuch's clothes and come to the place where the eunuch lived, did she want him to experience the life of a eunuch?
Zhou Yusheng was thinking about it, and he had already walked to the gate of the clean courtyard. The eunuchs of the Pure Courtyard had just finished their lunch break and were preparing to go to work. As soon as Bai Shuqin entered, he shouted loudly: "The prince has arrived!" ”
When the eunuchs inside heard that the prince was coming, they immediately stopped what they were doing and ran out to greet them.
A eunuch wearing a blue robe and a red collar was the first to come out, and Bai Shuqin knew that the person wearing this dress had a bit of status among the eunuchs. However, the status is not high, Bai Shuqin concluded that he was the leader in this.
When the eunuch came to Bai Shuqin's side, he knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "The slave has seen the prince, the prince is a thousand years old!" ”
Without waiting for Zhou Yusheng to speak, Guo Hu preemptively said: "Flat!" ”
Zhou Yusheng looked at Guo Hu in disbelief, and his expression was calm, so he turned his head to look at Bai Shuqin again, but Bai Shuqin didn't look at him. Confused, he continued to watch them perform.
The eunuch stood up, his waist still half-bent, and a smile on his face, "Prince, I don't know what is the matter with your coming?" ”
"I have a eunuch here who is disobedient, and I want to leave it to you to teach me a lesson." Guo Hu said.
"Prince, don't worry about handing it over to the minion, the servant will definitely help you teach him a lesson!" The eunuch's smiling face was wrinkled.
Guo Hu turned his head to look at Zhou Yusheng and said coldly: "He'll hand it over to you!" ”
After speaking, Guo Hu was about to leave, and Bai Shuqin also followed behind him. Zhou Yusheng saw that the two were leaving, and hurriedly wanted to follow, but was stopped by the eunuch, and he said angrily: "What are you doing, let go of me!" ”
"With such a big temper, no wonder the prince wants to teach you a good lesson!" The eunuch used his strength to pull Zhou Yusheng and didn't let him go.
Zhou Yusheng is a person who practices martial arts, and a eunuch is not his opponent. As soon as he broke away from the eunuch, he heard the eunuch shout to the group of eunuchs behind him, "Come and hold him down for me." ”
One punch was invincible to four kicks, and about a hundred and ten eunuchs rushed towards Zhou Yusheng, and after a while, they pressed him to the ground.
The leading eunuch smiled evilly, "Do you think you can escape?" Tie him up for me first! ”
"You are so bold, do you know who I am? I am the crown prince of the dynasty, if you do this, I will punish you nine clans! Zhou Yusheng's face was bruised, he had never been treated like this.
When the eunuch heard Zhou Yusheng's words, he was about to laugh, he held his stomach and said to the other eunuchs, "Did you hear what he just said?" actually said that he was the prince, and he didn't look at you like this! ”
The eunuch laughed enough, immediately changed his cold-blooded face, and instructed the other eunuchs: "Lock him up for me for an hour first, if he is still disobedient, the criminal law will serve!" ”
"If you dare, I'll kill you!" Zhou Yusheng struggled on the ground, his clothes covered with mud.
However, no one took his words to heart, they all took them as jokes. He was locked up in a firewood room, which was full of firewood, damp and muggy.
The sunlight could only shine in a little through the window, and Zhou Yusheng leaned on the firewood, and the anger in his heart was not gone.
He yelled outside, and not only did no one pay attention to him, but someone came in with sticks and threatened him, "If you scream again, I'll shut your mouth." ”
"I'll just call, if you treat the prince of a country like this, I will let you die without a whole body!" Zhou Yusheng roared loudly.
The eunuch was obviously tired of listening, and he didn't know where to get a rag, pinched Zhou Yusheng's mouth and stuffed it in. A foul smell hit Hanyu's head last week, almost knocking him out.
This is still the worst, and the worst thing is that he found that there was a mouse at his feet, biting his clothes. He was so frightened that he moved his legs, trying to drive the rats away.
Guo Hu, who came out of the clean courtyard, was a little worried, "Captain Bai, the prince will be fine, right?" ”
"Rest assured, there will be no danger to your life." Bai Shuqin smiled lightly, although there was no danger to his life, if Zhou Yusheng still wanted to be domineering, he would definitely suffer no less.
Her purpose in doing this was to tell Zhou Yusheng that when one day he lost the identity of the crown prince, everything he had would come to naught.
Only when he is subjectively aware of what kind of situation he will be in after losing his position as crown prince, can he take the initiative to think about how to stabilize his position as crown prince. Some things are too easy to get and you won't cherish them, and if you haven't experienced losing them, you won't cherish them either.
arranged Zhou Yusheng into the Jing Courtyard, and Bai Shuqin returned to Changle Palace.
Zhou Tianmu knew from Guo Hu that Zhou Yusheng was thrown into the Jingyuan by Bai Shuqin, so he didn't go to see Zhou Yusheng first, but came to Changle Palace to see Bai Shuqin first.
Bai Shuqin knew what was going on as soon as she saw Zhou Tianmu, she smiled innocently, and saluted him: "Your Majesty, why are you here?" ”
"Guess what?" Zhou Tianmu smiled kindly.
"Hmm, I guess it's for the prince, right?" Bai Shuqin tilted his head, expectantly waiting for Zhou Tianmu's answer.
Zhou Tianmu already knew that she was a smart woman, not only that, but there were many things about her that he didn't know, which also made him very curious.
He nodded, held out his arm for her to hold, and the two walked to the room together.
Every time Zhou Tianmu came over, Bai Shuqin personally made tea for him, and today is no exception. The fragrance of osmanthus accompanied by the fragrance of tea wafted in the air from the teapot, Zhou Tianmu sniffed and said, "What kind of tea is this today?" ”
"Osmanthus tea, sun-dried osmanthus flowers are added to the tea leaves. You try it and see if you like it. Bai Shuqin poured a cup of tea for Zhou Tianmu, and two or three osmanthus flowers floated on the tea surface.
The aroma of aged osmanthus is not as strong as that of just picking, but it has a taste of time that fresh osmanthus does not have, but it has a unique flavor.
Zhou Tianmu actually doesn't like tea and likes to drink more, but when he gets older, tea is more suitable for him than wine.
"Your Majesty, are you waiting for me to take the initiative to confess my mistakes to you, please punish you?" Bai Shuqin asked with a shallow smile.
Zhou Tianmu took a sip of tea, raised his eyes to look at Bai Shuqin, with a smile on his face, did not speak, just waited for her to continue.
Silence is equivalent to acquiescence, of course Bai Shuqin knows, but she is sure that he will not punish her. She lowered her head and looked a little cowardly, "I brought the prince to the pure courtyard, and I want the prince to have more contact with the people below." ”
