Chapter 21: The Prince of the Liu Family

With Liu Gongzi's reminder, Nian Qian'an just picked the road in the same direction, and when he passed by a corner of the pavilion and a small lake, he already had a plan in his heart.

At the same time as seeing the main gate of the garden, I saw the goddess of the small palace anxiously looking for someone, and saw Nian Qian'an as if she saw her relatives, and rushed all the way, "Six girls! If the slave comes in without permission because she is not at ease, don't blame the slave or maid. Good thing you're okay! ”

She waited for a long time and couldn't see anyone, and when she went inside to check to no avail, she was first overjoyed to find someone, and then she was shocked, "Sixth girl, your hair!" How, how is it wet! ”

I have also combed it again, and the jewelry is completely gone!

Nian Qian'an shook his ponytail, blinked his eyes and said, "I was tired of shopping just now, so I dozed off in the gazebo for a while." When I woke up, I felt that my head was flustered, so I washed it with lake water, and now it is much more refreshing. ”

If this kind of nonsense were to be said by someone else, it would only be regarded as a psychopath.

But popping out of the mouth of the six girls who were delicate and perverse, the little palace maid was only stunned and didn't dare to question, and begged with tears: "Please also ask the six girls to have a super life!" Don't talk about the mother and the princess, just say that Aunt Chen knows about it, so she has to blame the slave and maid for taking care of her, and she has to take half of her life!

And the pavilion you are talking about by the lake should be the one that is idle because of the remote terrain. Usually, only rough people who enter and exit the back door go there to get water. If Aunt Chen knew that the slave maid let you go to such a pickled and desolate place, the remaining half of the slave's life would be gone! ”

"Don't worry, your little life will be fine, and you don't need me to give birth for you." Nian Qian'an scratched his nose silently, and covered his heart with arrogance, "I teach you how to say and do it, it's always up to me to do it myself, and I can't do it on you." ”

The little palace maid listened attentively, only nodding her head, and hurriedly led Nian Qian'an into a courtyard, and went to the apse pantry to find another little palace maid who had left before.

The courtyard that has been sent into the east and west one after another is the place where Princess Anhe's mother and daughter occasionally stayed in the past.

The carry-on package that Mama Liu brought into the palace was really here, Nian Qian'an saw that there was a semi-wet burden next to him, and knew that Liu Gongzi had come, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and used the partition to cover up the hot water in the bucket, and after a sound of water, he threw the wet clothes and the wrapper into the bucket together, and then spread out the ponytail and turned out of the bathroom.

"I threw the clothes I changed into a bucket, and you found someone to carry them away and wash them along the way." Nian Qian'an saw that the little palace maid hadn't paid attention to what she was wearing, so she deliberately pretended to have a new dress and said, "Okay, let's go." ”

The little palace maid hurriedly ordered to go down, and both of them followed Nian Qian'an back to the second room of the apse.

Approaching the door of the second room, I heard the voice of the Empress Dowager Chen from behind the curtain, "I didn't know that Wei Xiang was such a confused letter!" Thinking that the emperor also knew that Wei Xiang's request was ridiculous, he pressed the fold and even hid it from me. It is rare for the emperor to give marriage, but Wei Xiang is good, and he dares to ask for a secret marriage when he opens his mouth! The emperor didn't immediately break his fold! ”

Nian Qian'an listened and wondered: Why has she been "playing" in the back garden for most of the hour, and Princess An and Princess have just started to "sue"?

Mama Liu, who was guarding the door, had heard the movement, lifted the curtain and said with a smile: "The sixth girl is back." ”

The little palace maid turned sideways to give way to Nian Qian'an, regained her composure and explained: "The six girls are sweating lightly in the back garden, and the slave maid thinks that spring is the easiest time to get sick, so she will be the master and serve the six girls to bathe and change clothes. Only the six girls were in a hurry, their hair had not been dried yet, and they had to work for their grandmothers. ”

Mama Liu really had no doubts in her heart, and even rewarded the little palace maid, and after taking the towel, she chased Nian Qian'an to wipe her hair.

Princess An and Princess An only counted her daughter's words, and the Empress Dowager Chen protected Nian Qian'an and said: "The little girl's family is in front of me again, and it is not rude to wear her hair." Just talk to me, don't be so verbose with An An, be careful that An An is tired of you as a mother. ”

Princess Ann and Princess glared at her daughter, "She dares to get bored of trying?" ”

Nian Qian'an just smiled while holding the hot tea, sat down obediently and let Mama Liu twist her hair.

Seeing her pleasing appearance, Empress Dowager Chen couldn't help but touch Nian Qian'an's little head lovingly, turned her head to Princess An and sighed: "You raise your daughter, I am actually the most relieved." It's that Chen's is not as good as you, although it is understandable to dote on your daughter, but she is only a good mother but not a good wife. What is written in Wei Xiangshang's excerpt, can Chen know? I was blinded back then. ”

Wei's mother, Chen, is the distant niece of Empress Dowager Chen's family.

From the perspective of Wei's mother, Nian Qian'an originally called Empress Dowager Chen "aunt and grandmother", but now she calls "great-grandmother", which is like a different path to the same end, with different identities and similar feelings.

When Wei's mother got married, she married Wei's father, and it was still the marriage given by the Empress Dowager Chen.

Nian Qian'an couldn't defend Wei's mother, so he had to prick up his ears and listen intently.

Princess An and Princess Zhengse said: "I know that you not only miss Mrs. Wei, but also really care for Miss Wei Si's serious illness, and you have taken care of her over the years, and you will reward medicinal herbs from Wanshou Palace to eat for Miss Wei Si during the New Year's holidays." You have a kind heart, and you have fattened the guts of Wei Laogou in vain.

Secret marriage is a folk practice that cannot be seen on the stage, he is good, and directly pointed out that he wants to choose the son of the family who died young as his 'son-in-law', as long as the emperor does not express his position for a day, what will the ministers of the court and the central government think day by day?

There is no need to say that there must be someone impeached on the surface, just say that he secretly scolded Wei Laogou, but it is the emperor's name that is affected. Where is this a family affair and a trivial matter that dotes on his daughter, this is already a court matter that stirs people's hearts. ”

Empress Dowager Chen has not liked Wei Xiang for a long time, in recent years, in addition to rewarding Wei Ming'an, she has also been cold to Wei's mother, and does not correct the title of Princess Anhe, only nodded slowly: "Wei Xiang was able to connect three yuan when he was young, how much scenery was there in his early years?" I took a fancy to him because of his amazing talent, so I made an exception to pull my mother's family and picked Chen for him. At that time, the top three entered the court, and the emperor gave Wei Xiang the word 'innocent' in court, and he was also optimistic about him, hoping that he would be upright and serve the court.

He's good, and his strength is getting more and more on the crooked path, no matter how great his ability is? The reputation of the traitor is getting worse every year! In recent years, there has been more and more no restraint, and he can coax the emperor to see that he is good everywhere, and what he does seems to be right, and he blindly protects him.

I don't care which emperor wants to favor. But what you're worried about is what I can't tolerate. Wei Xiang is messing around, and the emperor can't follow and be confused. can't force the family to promise any secret marriage, and reluctantly praise Wei Xiang's stinky feet, which doesn't chill people's hearts.

I know about this, you don't have to say and do more outside, lest Wei Xiang know that he will hate you for nothing. For dinner, I personally invited the emperor to ask, if the emperor dared to nod and condone Wei Xiang, I would go to the Taimiao to kneel to the emperor and kowtow to the ancestors and ancestors to make amends. ”

The emperor must not dare!

Nian Qian'an silently answered, and sadly found that what Empress Dowager Chen and Princess An and Princess He said was so reasonable, putting aside Wei Ming'an's personal feelings, she felt that the Wei family was really unreliable just by listening, and Father Wei was simply heinous!

I couldn't help but cry in my heart: she was a modern sick and delicate girl before she had a baby, and Wei's mother gave her birth to be weak and sickly, she still adapted well to the world, but she didn't expect that after dying of illness again without regrets and reluctance, she was saddened to death by Wei's father, who turned into a traitor!

Nian Qian'an silently bowed a handful of bitter tears for herself, reminisced bitterly about Empress Dowager Chen's kindness to her, hooked Empress Dowager Chen's hand and shook it, "Great-grandmother, don't be angry. Wei Xiang...... In the end, it is the love of the daughter. ”

This confession was even embarrassing to herself, not to mention the many people in this room who hated the same enemy.

An and Princess He sneered coldly, and Empress Dowager Chen also had coldness in her eyes, but after she finished speaking, she was lazy and mentioned unhappy things, holding Nian Qian'an's hand and playing with it and laughing: "Wei Xiang is Wei Xiang, Wei Fourth Girl is Wei Fourth Girl, I am only angry with the person who should be angry." I heard Mama Liu mention just now, our An An is a nostalgic person, and you still remember playing with your sister Ming'an when you were a child? ”

Nian Qian felt that he was very divided, and responded with a dry smile.

"It's just right, I only got up early to read a scroll of scriptures to Ming'an, you stay for a few days, and Ming'er will copy the scriptures with me." Empress Dowager Chen pinched Nian Qian'an's hand and quipped: "Your mother always said that you don't care about your homework, so you should practice calligraphy here with me." Copy a few volumes of the Sutra of the Past Birth, and when the time comes, offer it to the Buddha and burn it to your sister Ming'an. ”

After that, he sighed lightly, "It's also a heart." ”

The pity in the words was so sad that Nian Qian's mouth was sore, and he hurriedly bowed his head, holding the Empress Dowager Chen and said sincerely: "I will serve you with pen and ink, pinch your shoulders and beat your legs, and I will not let you get tired." ”

Empress Dowager Chen laughed, the door curtain suddenly opened from the outside, accompanied by the sound of accusations, Aunt Chen preached while entering the house: "Niangniang, Liu Gongzi is here." ”

Liu Gongzi's title was so impressive that Princess An and Mama Liu were stunned together, looking strange and suspicious.

Even Nian Qian'an, who had just been foretold by Liu Gongzi, couldn't help but be stunned, he never expected Liu Gongzi to appear in such a grand form, and he looked at the door with his head probed.

Empress Dowager Chen misunderstood, and pressed Nian Qian'an to touch her recombed hair and said, "It's all their own children, An An doesn't need to avoid it." It's a junior again, and An He also sat down. ”

This affectionate tone made Ann and the princess more and more shocked.

Nian Qian calmed down and looked again, and saw that it was indeed Liu Gongzi who came in.

He didn't squint, and before he could salute, he was held by Aunt Chen with a smile, "Young Master Liu rarely has time to walk around the palace, why did he come here now?" ”

said that he didn't ask the Empress Dowager Chen, and led Liu Gongzi to sit down on the right side.

Aunt Chen's attitude represents the attitude of Empress Dowager Chen.

Princess An and Mama Liu glanced at each other, each with thoughts in their eyes.

Nian Qian'an's curiosity resurfaced again, and looked at Liu Gongzi with a soft but intimate smile, and replied calmly: "So that Niangniang knows that His Royal Highness is busy with political affairs, and he can't come to Wanshou Palace these days, so he specially asked me to run errands, first, to ask Niangniang to say goodbye, and secondly, to let Niangniang rest assured, and there is no need to remember His Highness." ”

He didn't use humility, and he was a highness.

Nian Qian'an still couldn't guess his origin, and when he saw that Liu Gongzi didn't know her, he whispered next to Empress Dowager Chen, "Who is he?" ”

She is not wide-faced, but her mother and the princess are well-informed, and they have guessed eight or nine points when they hear the words, and while eliminating all kinds of possibilities in turn, they stared at Liu Gongzi, and answered thoughtfully: "This Liu Gongzi, but the secret guard raised by Xiaoliu's side?" ”

The little six in her mouth refers to Chu Yanqing, the sixth prince.

Nian Qian'an suddenly realized, and was very surprised: it turned out that Liu Gongzi was a living secret guard, no wonder his skills were so good!

The Empress Dowager Chen beside her had already laughed because of Liu Gongzi's intentions, and looked at Princess An and pretended to blame: "As far as your brain is active, you can say anything, and I can't sell it." You've never seen this kid, but he's a top one. The son came to the son and went to the son too much, just call him Shuen. ”

After the introduction, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he wondered: "How can I listen to your tone, it seems to know Shuen?" ”
