Chapter 109: Little Prince Li Jia
Walking through the garden corridor, I saw layers of Qin bricks and Han tiles, purple pillars and golden beams, all of which were extremely luxurious.
Suddenly, a child about ten years old ran over and crashed into Tang Anxia's arms.
Thanks to Fang Yan's support for Tang Anxia, who almost fell, otherwise, she almost hit the stone on the side of the road.
Fang Yan glared at the person in front of her and reprimanded: "Where did you come from......"
"Minions, see the little princeβ"
Without waiting for Fang Yan's words to finish, Liang Zhong immediately raised his voice, his sharp voice blocked Fang Yan's angry words, and the exaggerated action of kneeling on the ground and kowtowing perfectly attracted the attention of children.
Fang Yan smacked her tongue secretly, almost causing death! A servant girl dares to contradict the prince? Isn't it a sin to lose your head!?
The little prince Li Jia looked at the two women in front of him in a daze, and then looked at Liang Zhong who was kneeling on the ground, and sneered: "This is not Liang Gonggong in the Imperial Brother's Palace!" Who are these two handmaidens? Looking at the face of the face, this prince has never seen it. β
Tang Anxia respectfully blessed her body: "The courtier is the second lady of the General's Mansion, see the little prince." β
Li Jia frowned, a hint of displeasure flashed on his delicate cheeks, and his tone became disgusted: "General's Mansion? My mother can say that the General's Mansion is a bad person, and it is our ......"
"Little prince!" A somewhat familiar voice came from behind him, interrupting Li Jia's words.
When Tang Anxia heard the prestige, she saw a well-dressed aunt running over in a hurry, grabbed Li Jia's arm at once, took him behind her, smiled apologetically at Tang Anxia, and said loudly: "Tong Yan is unscrupulous, Miss don't go to your heart, the little prince is pampered by my nobles, and if you say something that you don't like, you can talk about it, please forgive Miss." β
Tang Anxia fixed his eyes and saw that this aunt was the maidservant who asked the direction of 'Long Mutang' on the way to the road just now. He restrained his vigilant look, and smiled politely: "Thanks to my aunt's help, I haven't thanked you yet, how dare you blame?" My aunt is too careful, the little prince Bingxue is smart, and she will become a big thing in the future. β
Li Jia looked up at the older maidservant, and her crisp voice jingled: "Aunt Jin, what does it mean to become a great instrument, does it mean that this prince will become a king like his father in the future!?" β
Aunt Jin hurriedly covered Li Jia's small mouth, her sharp gaze shifted from Tang Anxia's body to Liang Zhong's embarrassed face, and her words were full of apologies and threats: "Father-in-law Liang, the little prince is young, can his words be taken seriously?" If someone uses false rumors to cause the royal brothers to turn against each other, you and I are both current people, and ten of our heads are useless! β
Liang Zhong sneered: "That's natural, my mouth, I always know what to say and what not to say, my aunt is at ease." β
Aunt Jin's solemn expression softened a little, she took Li Jia's hand, and said respectfully and elegantly: "If the little prince goes back late, the nobles will be punished, we will retire first, and we will not accompany the young lady to the palace." β
"Auntie walks slowly, little prince walks slowly." Tang Anxia smiled at the corner of his mouth, and returned the salute with the same elegance.
When everyone gradually walked away, Gonggong Liang followed behind Tang Anxia, looked at no one around, and whispered: "Second Miss doesn't know, the biological mother of the little prince is the most favored Jing noble in the palace. That woman is extraordinary, she was originally the personal palace maid next to the queen, and she won the trust of the queen's mother, but she has quite a few means, plus a bit of posture, she actually took the initiative to tempt the drunk emperor and threw herself into her arms. β
Fang Yan pursed her mouth and asked in a low voice, "How could the queen mother not notice her ambition?" Why don't you get rid of this maid who eats outside the steak in advance? β
Gonggong Liang sighed twice and shook his head again and again: "This is the power of Jing Guiren, no one in the entire Jiaofang Palace has discovered her methods, and the queen has always thought that she is her confidant." Until one day, the emperor and the queen mother had a dispute over the use of harem concubines, the emperor was displeased, and after getting drunk, he pampered Jing Guiren, which made everyone realize that there was such a terrible woman beside him, ambitious. β
Seeing that Tang Anxia was silent, Gonggong Liang continued to whisper: "What's even more incredible is that Jing Guiren can become the most favored woman in the entire harem in just a few years, but unfortunately she was from a humble background and was not allowed to be promoted, and she had a feud with the queen mother, and was squeezed out by the harem concubines, otherwise she would have already stood out and become a concubine." The emperor has doted on her for many years, and naturally cherishes the little prince, and her food and clothing are no different from other princes. β
Tang Anxia pretended not to care, and smiled lightly: "We have already walked to the palace gate, thank you Gonggong Liang for sending you all the way, please return to Longmu Hall and tell the eldest prince a word." β
Liang Zhong's eyes lit up suddenly, and he arched his hand and said: "Second Miss, please speak, the slave must convey it to the prince of my family word for word." β
Tang Anxia quietly looked at the sunset setting little by little on the horizon, her eyes involuntarily smeared with a layer of sad ripples, she didn't want to hurt Li Mu, she was grateful to him in her heart, admired him, but she didn't have love.
Her voice was clear and melodious, as soft as a void valley, as soft as water and a song: "You tell him that I, Tang Anxia, will remember his kindness in this life and will do my best to repay him." I implore him to be safe and healthy, and to rise to the top. β
Liang Zhong didn't seem to understand when he heard it, and the meaning of these words was not to promise each other with his body, but the words were conclusive, and there seemed to be a feeling that was difficult to let go.
Tang Anxia's clear eyes flashed with a shallow glazed light: "Can my father-in-law remember?" β
Liang Zhong nodded: "Second Miss Hui, the slave remembers it in his heart." β
"Okay, my father-in-law is a warm-hearted person, I don't know when we will meet next time, so I won't say goodbye."
Tang Anxia bent the corners of her lips, she looked good, she bowed her head slightly to show politeness, and immediately led Fang Yan to leave the palace together.
The carriage back swayed, Tang Anxia pinched the jade pendant in her hand, and the cold touch walked through her fingertips, as if there was a trace of sadness.
Suddenly, Tang Anxia felt a burning sensation in his neck.
She stretched out her finger and wiped it, and found that the broken jade pendant hanging around her neck, which had been worn from childhood to adulthood, and only half of it was left, was actually exuding a steaming heat from the inside out.
Tang Anxia was surprised: "Strange, this kind of vision has never happened before!" Is it an omen? β
Fang Yan blinked her eyes in confusion: "What's wrong with the second miss?" Do you care what the little prince says? He did mention that the General's Mansion was a bad person, and the slave and maid heard it clearly. β
Tang Anxia put the jade pendant away and didn't mention it again, she looked at Fang Yan, recalled Li Jia's words with a hundred hearts, and said thoughtfully: "The little prince is hostile to the General's Mansion, indicating that the Jing nobles hate the General's Mansion. Liang Gonggong said that the emperor prefers the little prince, and the Jing nobles are ambitious, so their mother and son will naturally covet it...... I'm afraid it's because the eldest prince has been friends with the general's mansion for many years......"
Tang Anxia wanted to speak and stopped.
