Chapter 17: Intimacy
Not disappointed, just a little overwhelmed, she is really different. Sure enough, the books that Liuzi found were all unreliable. According to the book, the next step is to talk about poetry and poetry to give life ideals. It's all blocked all at once.
"What books does the princess like to read?"
"Anecdotes, quirky gossip." Jing Yuzhao looked at Gu Jue with interest. This kind of conversation is very relaxed and comfortable, and I haven't been like this for a long time.
Gu Jue was delighted, he was doing this. Because he also likes to read these anecdotes, and finds them particularly interesting. And in many stories, a lot of customs and customs will be reflected, and wild history will be represented.
"Recently, I happened to read a story, and it was very interesting."
"Tell me about it."
Gu Jue talked about a strange story in the previous dynasty. The family mysteriously disappears one night. The government searched for a long time, but found no trace at all. People disappear out of thin air, and they don't see people in life, and they don't see corpses in death. The house has also become a murderous house, and everyone is afraid to go near the house. Occasionally, someone accidentally breaks in and disappears......
"Princess!" Purple hurriedly walked over.
Jing Yuzhao interrupted Gu Jue, "Trouble is coming, next time I have a chance, I will tell you about the ending later, I am very curious why people disappeared out of thin air." β
"Jue, wait for the princess." Gu Jue came and went.
Jing Yuzhao stood up and took Zidai Ziyi to Huaqing Palace.
As soon as I entered the palace, a teacup flew out of it. With a click, the teacup fell to the ground and shattered. Jing Yuzhao stepped over and continued to walk forward.
"Yuzhao has seen the mother concubine, and the mother is healthy."
"Huh, Ankang? I'm going to be by you. Concubine Xian sat on the main seat, and Xu Ruoqing sat next to her, with tears on her face and a red and swollen right cheek.
Jing Yuzhao still maintained the movement of saluting, "Erchen doesn't understand what the mother concubine is talking about?" β
"Don't know? You've always been a smart person, but why do you keep doing stupid things lately? I heard that you were still with Gu Shizi just now. β
"We met by chance and chatted a few words."
Jing'an glanced at Concubine Xian, and Concubine Xian said, "Get up and sit down." You don't know what's wrong, then Hongu told you. β
Xu Ruoxue sat in the corner, very anxious. This point of view is that Xu Ruoqing's lawsuit was very successful.
Concubine Xian's belly was already pregnant and bulged slightly. You can't sit for a long time, and the whole person leans on the cushion. But the whole person is very sharp, and the image of gentleness is not at all the same.
"Ruoqing was slapped by the second princess, saying that you didn't look for her, it was Ruoqing who was lying and should be punished. Why do you lie that you didn't find the second princess'? If you admit it directly, won't there be so much trouble? β
This Xu Ruoqing is too good at talking nonsense, Jing Yuzhao said honestly, "Erchen really didn't look for the second emperor sister, I don't know why my cousin said that." β
"Jing Yuzhao, you're too much." Xu Ruoqing pointed at Jing Yuzhao and called the princess by name, "I was in an emergency at the time, can't you cover it up?" You did it on purpose, deliberately to embarrass the second princess! β
In a word, in fact, the matter is already very clear. Xu Ruoqing lied, and Jing Yuzhao didn't cooperate with her, causing her to be beaten.
"Yuzhao, Ruoqing is also a first-aid person, you take care of her more as a sister, don't talk about this matter."
Xu Ruoqing was unwilling. I was slapped in vain, and I was still in front of everyone, which was too embarrassing. At that time, she will remember the way others looked at her, and she will remember it for a lifetime. Mockery, schadenfreude, and protection are all laughing at her, how can she, a talented woman who is usually elegant, be like this. This shame, she will pay back, all waiting.
Xu Ruoqing sat down under the soothing eyes of Concubine Xian.
Concubine Xian continued, "Yuzhao, you have to keep some distance from other princes. Besides, Gu Shizi is Ruoqing's fiancΓ©, so the impact is too bad. β
Jing Yuzhao was confused when he said this. Above board, and did nothing? What is the effect of the bad.
"Mother, Erchen and Gu Shizi have nothing. Besides, I also care about my cousin. Last time, my cousin also said that Gu Shizi was not in good health, and I didn't see anything today? Handsome young man, refreshed. β
Xu Ruoqing was always anxious in his heart. Last time, my mother told the lord of Taihe that the lord of Taihe didn't want his stepson to marry a noble daughter of a family, and said that he would help, but now there is no letter.
"Presumptuous!" Concubine Xian pointed at Jing Yuzhao, "What foul language, Yuzhao, how can you slander Ruoqing like this." β
Jing Yuzhao opened her mouth to say what she had chatted with Xu Ruoqing last time, but unfortunately Concubine Xian didn't give her this opportunity, "Yuzhao went back to the Wuyuan to think about it behind closed doors, copied the Lotus Sutra ten times, and was not allowed to leave the palace until he finished copying." β
I didn't do anything wrong, why should I be punished? "Mother, why?"
"You've been too impetuous lately, copy more scriptures and be quiet."
"The retainers retired."
Jing Yuzhao led the people back to the courtyard, and then closed the door. It's time for me to be still. There's been so much going on lately that you should be thinking about what to do. This time, Concubine Xian's attitude was also very clear, and she had lost so much patience with herself before. At least in the past, she would reconcile her relationship with Xu Ruoqing and let the two sisters get along well. This time, there wasn't even such a word.
Ziyi was upset for Jing Yuzhao, "It's all kinds of spring banquets soon, it's a good time to go out and make friends, and the princess is about to choose a horse, so you have to prepare well." β
Zi Dai nodded Ziyi's forehead, "You, don't say a few words." Hurry up and inquire about the second princess's concubine. β
Ziyi didn't go out, and continued to exert her gossip ability, "Concubine Shuniang has already seen a few, and the slaves and maids have heard about it." One is Chu Xuan, the son of Bofu. One is Feng Yuanjing, the eldest son of the squire of the military department. There is also Lin Zhongming, the youngest son of Lord Lin, the former commander of the Imperial Palace. It's just that the second princess has always been dissatisfied, and she has to look at Sima Gongzi. β
Jing Yuzhao leaned on the couch, took out the book he had found a few days ago, and listened to Ziyi while opening it. The three people chosen by Concubine Shu are all good, but it's hard to say whether people like Princess Shang or not. But now it's none of my business.
"Zidai, let our people pay attention recently, I'm afraid of what kind of means Concubine Xian will use."
Zidai felt that this was necessary. It was in the same group with Huaqing Palace before, and there was more or less overlap in personnel. Now the relationship between the princess and the virtuous concubine is delicate, and she has to guard against it.
The flower banquet is actually very boring. It's just a bunch of people eating, drinking, and playing a few mini-games. Today, when Jing Yuyan looks at the sons, it looks even more dull. Jing Yuyan likes Sima Yu's things, everyone knows it, and ordinary men still care more or less.
