Chapter 107: Eavesdropping
The scenery of the garden of King Liang's Mansion is quite good, especially after Princess Anle married in, Wu Sansi sent a lot of florists to take care of it. Under the careful cultivation of many years, even now this is not the season when flowers are flourishing, the garden is still rich in flowers and plants, one step at a time, especially the rockery that is scattered among them, arranged quite interestingly, at first glance, it actually has a bit of the charm of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River. Li Chongjun was rarely interested, thinking that it was still early, so he simply stopped and took a closer look.
The imperial garden in the palace may be far more magnificent than here, but in the end it is too ingenious and more pompous, and it is not as fresh and elegant as the current scenery. It may also be because of the depressed mood recently, Li Chongjun stood in the empty garden at this time, quietly admiring for a moment, and his heart rarely gained a little peace. The guards behind him remained faithful, standing quietly a few paces away as wooden men, silently and silently.
And with the silence of the master and servant, all the sounds in the garden became more distinct. The birds hidden in the canopy of the trees are chirping gently, the fish swimming in the pond are jumping and splashing, and the wind is heard from time to time, all the subtle movements are infinitely amplified in this side of the world, including the little whispering sound mixed with the wind.
"I heard that today's peony girl...... The princess ...... "The voice was not far away, but the speaker deliberately lowered his voice so that it sounded choppy, and he could only vaguely grasp a few words.
Li Chongjun frowned, and subconsciously followed the sound and took a few steps. The man's words seemed to mention Peony and Princess Anle, and he really wanted to understand what was going on.
"Are you really? After the feast, will the peony girl dance in public? At the same time, another woman's voice rang out. Probably because of surprise, her voice was a little louder than the previous one, which directly allowed Li Chongjun to distinguish their location, which was in the rockery in front of him: "Will the horse master be willing?" Doesn't he care about the petted place, and he usually doesn't bring it out for people to see? ”
"Look at what you said! No matter how pampered it is, it's just a plaything, can it be more important than the face of the master? The previous voice sounded again, but this time, it was obviously a little proud: "Besides, this is proposed by Her Royal Highness the Princess, she has been in such a good mood recently, it is impossible for the colt to ruin her interest at this time!" ”
"Yes, the princess always seems to be happy lately. Not only did she not quarrel with the colt, but she could even greet the prince with a smile when she saw her, which was really strange, didn't she hate the prince before? ”
"Your Highness......" The guard asked silently, and one hand had already pressed on the hilt of the sword, as long as his master spoke, he would kill the two guys who chewed the root of their tongue on the spot. However, Li Chongjun himself didn't seem to care very much, raised his hand to stop him, and the two of them continued to eavesdrop on the whispers in the rockery.
Li Bao'er hates him, which is not unusual at all. But just as the woman asked, he also wanted to know the real reason for the change. What is it that can make Li Bao'er so happy that even the dislike for him can be ignored?
"Shhhh Be quiet! You dare to say this kind of thing, if you are heard, you are afraid that you will not even be able to save your life, right?! The woman who spoke first was more cautious, and immediately issued a warning: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is coming to the banquet today!" ”
"Yes, yes! I'm just asking in front of you, so I won't talk too much in front of others! After all, the man's voice was still a little quieter: "Good sister, just tell me." I can also pay more attention to it in the future, so that it will not be good to annoy the princess. "Princess Anle's bad temper is known to the whole god, and the slaves and maids in her house are also notoriously bad. Now that she has the posture of living in the Liang Wang's Mansion, the slaves and maids in the mansion are naturally silent.
"This ...... I can only give you a rough idea, you can know it yourself, but you must not tell others to know. As if hesitating for a while, the first woman's voice was lowered, and Li Chongjun almost had to bind his ears with all his attention before he could hear her words: "Didn't the princess have the idea of asking Your Majesty to make her the crown princess earlier, although Your Majesty didn't agree later, but ...... The princess came back from the palace two days ago, and the joy on her face couldn't be hung up, you always saw it with your own eyes, plus her attitude towards His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in recent days, I see, this matter is always eight or nine ten. ”
"Wouldn't it? Sister, you mean...... But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is already there, and His Majesty the Emperor will not be ......"
"Who's to say for sure? After all, the queen is still in the palace, and she may not be able to persuade her...... If you want me to say, it's still the most windy on the pillow! I think this time, I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will suffer a dark loss, so the princess doesn't care about him now. "After all, it's just a person who is about to be replaced by himself. In the eyes of Princess An Le, this person who is still sitting in that position without knowing it is a poor worm, sympathy and pity alone is enough, and other emotions are not needed much at all.
"Oh my God, the things in this palace are too terrible, and there can be changes that have been set." As if frightened, the second woman said softly after a while, "Then we will ...... But you have to serve the princess well, or ......"
"Yes, it's almost rested, so let's hurry back to the hall and wait. In case we are seen by Mama, we have to say that we are lazy. The two maidservants whispered a few more words, and then flashed out from the other side of the rockery, and soon disappeared into the bluestone path of the garden. From beginning to end, they didn't notice that outside the rockery, there were two people who had listened to their conversations, and one of them was a protagonist they had repeatedly mentioned.
The "Empress Dowager ......" propped up on the rockery with one hand, and Li Chongjun was almost unstable at this moment: "It turns out that she has never given up this idea so far...... "So what is he, the prince?" A puppet in front of him to keep out the wind and rain? Father, can he really be ruthless to this point?
"Your Highness, it's just the words of two uninformed maidservants, you can't take it seriously, you ......" The guard took a few steps forward, subconsciously trying to comfort, but after saying a few words, he stopped in embarrassment. These clues are so reasonable that even he can't help but want to believe it, let alone Li Chongjun, who was already thinking about it?
"Yes, you're right, you shouldn't really ......" Li Chongjun's hand holding on the mountain stone was clearly knotted: "I will never let it become real......"
