Chapter 128: Counting
The eldest prince Xiao Jingyuan took a concubine, this is not a big deal.
The concubine is different from the wife who is marrying the Ming media, and even the sedan chair cannot be carried in through the door. The palace will not hold a banquet and entertain guests from all over the world. But, no matter what, taking a concubine is always a festive thing.
Xiao Jingyuan, dressed in red, stood at the door, waiting for his concubine who had not passed the door.
This concubine, named Lin Wanyun, is the eldest daughter of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites. Although Lin Wanyun's identity is nothing to the royal family, she is good looking and meets the eyes of the eldest prince. Of course, the most important thing is that the previous Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites was demoted, and Xiao Jingyuan had no one of his own in the Ministry of Rites, and some things were not very convenient, so King Min accepted the daughter of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and it could be regarded as a turning and replanting hand in the Ministry of Rites.
“……”
Wait, wait, Lin Wanyun's sedan chair still didn't come.
The prince's little servant stretched his neck and paddled his feet.
Look, look, look......
I actually saw a pair of poorly armored Praetorian Guards! The leader is the second prince whose eyes are above the top!
"What's going on?" The little guy looked at the second prince who was approaching the Minwang Mansion, and was a little panicked, "Your Highness! You see! Yes, it's the king of Rui......"
Xiao Jingche, with his head held high, is like a hunter harvesting prey.
"Brother Huang." He glanced at Xiao Jingyuan.
"Second brother." Xiao Jingyuan was smiling and polite, although his eyes had already despised His Royal Highness King Rui in front of him from the inside out.
Xiao Jingche pretended: "It stands to reason that today is a good day for the imperial brother, I originally wanted to ask for a glass of wine to drink, but I'm afraid I won't be able to drink it." ”
"Oh?" Xiao Jingyuan's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he was not seen by Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jingche raised his chin, and his eyebrows couldn't hide the smugness and schadenfreude.
"Someone! Take him down! ”
The Praetorian Guard took the order.
"Xiao Jingche! You are crazy! Xiao Jingyuan's face was gloomy, "Let go of me!" ”
Xiao Jinglin was condescending: "I'm sorry, Brother Huang, I took you down on the orders of my father!" ”
"What?!"
"Take people away!"
…………
…………
Xiao Jingyuan was dressed in a happy dress and was escorted to the emperor.
Xiao Jingche was selfish, and deliberately tossed Xiao Jingyuan along the way.
So, the groom, who should have been high-spirited, knelt in front of the emperor in embarrassment.
"Father, I ......"
Xiao Jingyuan was confused and didn't ask yet.
"Shaft!" Xiao Fengsu was furious, and slammed a stack of letters and a ledger in front of him!
Xiao Jingyuan was puzzled at first, knowing that when he saw the content inside, his pupils suddenly constricted!
"Father, Father......"
"What else do you have to say!"
Xiao Fengsu roared: "You dare to say that this is not written by you!" You don't get any money! ”
"I ......"
This is indeed written by him himself, or a year ago.
"Father, I ......"
Xiao Jingche on the side said coldly: "Brother Huang, Liu Chongdu has admitted it, don't quibble and make your father angry." ”
Xiao Jingyuan's body shook suddenly.
It all started a year ago.
A year ago, His Royal Highness King Xiao Jingyuan was ordered to provide disaster relief, and in the end, there was a riot of the victims. Later, it was the third prince Xiao Jinglin who came forward to calm down the incident.
The emperor after the imperial case glared at Xiao Jingyuan and scolded sharply: "You swallowed most of the disaster relief that I set down!" Cause a riot of the victims! The court is disgraced! Xiao Jingyuan, you are so bold! Daring! ”
"Father! I, I know it's wrong! The matter has come to this point, Xiao Jingyuan bowed his head and pleaded guilty.
"Someone!" The emperor took several deep breaths before calming down.
Xiao Jingche looked at his father with burning eyes, expecting the emperor to directly drag Xiao Jingyuan out and behead him.
"King Min is impetuous, and he is reckless! Shut me up in the house and think about it behind closed doors! Without my order, you are not allowed to leave the mansion! ”
"Yes!"
"Father......" Xiao Jingche blinked, his expression was clearly saying, this, this is the end?
Xiao Jingyuan made such a big mistake, and he took it so lightly at a glance?
"Jing Che ......" Xiao Fengsu rubbed his eyebrows and looked at the second prince with a gloomy gaze, "You did a good job this time." ”
Xiao Jingche raised his eyebrows and hurriedly said, "This is what Erchen should do." ”
"Hmm." The meaning of the emperor was unclear, and said, "Reward." ”
"Thank you, Father!"
…………
…………
In the streets and alleys of Luojing, at this time, the daughter of the waiter's family in the Ministry of Rites, Lin Wanyun, was having dinner.
"This Lin girl is really ominous!" The seven aunts and eight aunts got together, and the chewing ground was the most relishing.
"This Miss Lin is really, before she was carried into King Min's mansion, His Royal Highness King Min was locked up by the emperor."
"Not really!" Swallowing melon seeds, it was even more delicious, "I heard that she fell when she went out!" The red hijab is gone! Unlucky! Very unlucky! ”
"What is the red hijab, I also heard that the sedan chair she was sitting in was broken halfway through!"
"Hey, hey! Not only the sedan chair, but also several sedan chair drivers have fainted! ”
"I've heard of it too......"
In short, the more "I heard" the more evil things spread, and Lin Wanyunkefu's matter became more and more real.
Lin Wanyun's sedan chair was carried into King Min's mansion in the morning and back in the evening.
…………
…………
"Miss Liang, thank you!" In the inn, Liu Yuan looked at Liang Er'er excitedly, and didn't open his mouth much, and kept thanking him.
His cheeks flushed with excitement: "His Royal Highness King Min has really withdrawn from the marriage!" Wanyun doesn't have to be a concubine for him! ”
Liang Erer bowed: "But now, no one in the capital dares to marry your Wanyun." ”
Liu Yuan scratched his head, embarrassed and couldn't hide his happiness: "I'll come to the door to propose!" ”
Liang Erer bowed his head and said, "You have to treat her well!" My idea worked, thanks to her cooperation. ”
In order not to marry the eldest prince, Lin Wanyun "overcome" her reputation to be confirmed, and this girl is also open-minded.
Liu Yuan nodded again and again: "I don't need you to say it, I will treat her well." ”
Liang Erer smiled.
"Miss Liang, I'm ......" Liu Yuan hesitated for a moment and said, "I have a question...... I don't know if I can ask or not. ”
Liang Erer said: "What's the problem? ”
"What's going on over there with King Min...... How do you know? ”
How did you know that King Min would be imprisoned by the emperor?
"It's just a coincidence." Liang Erer shrugged his shoulders and didn't care, "This is also your luck, you caught up." ”
Liu Yuan was stunned when he heard this, he was not stupid.
If it weren't for the emperor's confinement of King Guan Min, the matter of taking concubines would not have gone so smoothly.
Even if Wanyun tosses on the sedan chair again, it can't stop her from being carried into the fate of King Min's mansion. However, at this time, something happened to King Min.
“……”
Liu wished for Liang Er'er and put away the mess of suspicions.
Why did the second prince come to the door to get people? What exactly is it for? Why did the emperor order the eldest prince to think about it behind closed doors?
These...... It doesn't matter anymore, for him, Wanyun can marry him in the end, and that's enough.
"Miss Liang, thank you!" Liu Yuan bowed his hand and said sincerely: "Thank you!" ”
"You're so polite." Liang Erer said: "You forgot that we high-fived as an oath? I don't know when I'll want to ask you to help me. ”
"How can I help you?" Liu Yuan was puzzled, but still nodded solemnly: "However, Miss Liang, as long as you can use me, I will do my best!" ”
Liang Erer smiled: "It's not too early, you can go with your relatives." After speaking, he walked to the door and opened the door: "Let's leave it at that." ”
"Miss Liang, you go slowly."
"Hmm."
…………
…………
Out of the inn, the guard Lin Yi was waiting for her below.
"Miss, are you out?" Lin Yi greeted him and asked diligently, "Where are we going next?" ”
Liang Erer was about to answer, suddenly looking behind him.
"Miss? What's wrong? ”
"Nothing." Liang Erer shook his head slightly.
"And where are we going next?" Lin Yi asked again, "Do you want to go to the General's Mansion?" ”
Liang Erer looked at the guard in front of him and sighed faintly.
If Zou Lan was there, he rarely asked where he was going, and every time he followed behind him silently.
Liang Erer rubbed her sideburns, and sometimes she even felt that Zou Lan was behind her......
Thinking about it, Liang Erer had a gaze that seemed to touch her back.
Liang Erer turned his head to look back again, and there were only all kinds of passers-by behind him, but there was no one she thought about day and night.
"Miss?" Lin Yi asked again.
"Let's go." Liang Erer said, "Let's go to the Chu Palace." ”
"Chu Wangfu?" When Lin Yi heard this, he was a little surprised.
Liang Erer didn't explain why she wanted to go to the Chu Palace, she stepped forward and went directly to see Xiao Jianchu.
…………
…………
The palace of the king of Chu, the lion napping in the imperial city.
This is the first time Liang Erer has walked into this palace. This palace, which looks a little arrogant from the outside, has a layout inside, which makes Liang Erer a little surprised.
Looking at the Chu Palace, from the outside, it is magnificent, the top of the top is pointed, it is like a straight into the sky, and the momentum is majestic, but the layout inside the palace is Si Swenwen, simple and beautiful.
It's like, from a distance, it looks like a lazy lion king, but when you walk in and look closely, it turns out to be a big cat that has been lazy.
"Miss Liang, please come here."
The third junior high school led Liang Erer to see Xiao Jianchu.
The palace is too big, and Liang Erer's legs are a little sore.
"Please ...... over here," the junior smiled, leading the way in front.
Liang Er'er couldn't help but look around, she was a little surprised, although the palace was very large, but unexpectedly, there were not so many complicated eaves, and it was not unusual.
Liang Erer followed the back of the third year of junior high school, walked in front, and could faintly remember the road behind.
"Miss Liang, hold on a little longer, the prince is in the back garden, a little far away, please ...... here" The third junior smiled with a friendly attitude.
Liang Erer was distracted and couldn't help but look at him.
Among all the shadow guards of Xiao Jianchu, the one that impressed her the most was this shadow guard - the third year of junior high school.
Not only because of the good-looking peach blossom eyes of the third junior high school, but also because this person, as the head of the shadow guard, has the eternal smile on his face that is quite the true inheritance of his master, and it seems that everything is under control.
Liang Erer exhaled lightly.
How, since she stepped into the prince of Chu, there was no way out.
"Lord Wang, Miss Liang has arrived."
Liang Erer stopped.
I saw Xiao Jianchu sitting in a gazebo not far away, playing chess with someone.
Here, the prince of Chu heard the movement and glanced at Liang Er'er.
Liang Erer walked over and saluted: "See ......"
"No need to salute." Xiao Jianchu waved his hand and dropped the sunspot in his hand.
"I lost." The person who was playing chess with Xiao Jianchu stood up and smiled.
Xiao Jianchu said: "Mr. is absent-minded today, I won a fluke." ”
Liang Erer glanced at the gentleman and knew the identity of this person, Liu Xiao, a diner in the Chu Palace.
Here, Liu Xiao's gaze also fell on Liang Er'er lightly, not for Liang Er'er, he looked very carefully and slowly.
It's not Liang Er'er's illusion, this Liu Xiao is looking at her carefully.
"In the lower willows." Liu Xiao arched his hand.
"Little woman Liang Er'er." Liang Erer smiled, without losing etiquette, "Hello Mr. Liu." ”
The two finished a brief greeting.
Liu Xiao knew each other very well and said goodbye to Xiao Jianchu.
There were only two people left in the pavilion.
Liang Erer glanced at Xiao Jianchu and the chessboard in front of him. Xiao Jianchu's Heizi killed Mr. Liu's Baizi and abandoned the armor and dragged the soldiers, and they were defeated.
"Sit." Xiao Jianchu said.
"Thank you, Lord Wang." Liang Erer sat down slowly in front of Liu Xiao.
Xiao saw that Chu was bored, and picked up his black chess pieces little by little.
He raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly: "What? Xiao Jingyuan provoked you again? ”
Liang Erer was stunned.
Xiao saw that Chu was not in a hurry: "The person who wrote an anonymous letter to Xiao Jingche to expose Xiao Jingyuan is you, right?" ”
Liang Erer is as steady as Mount Tai.
The prince of Chu continued, "Seeing that Xiao Jingyuan has recovered and returned to the court, and the power is about to rise again, Xiao Jingche is like a great enemy...... At this time, if he wrote a letter to Xiao Jingche exposing Xiao Jingyuan, according to Xiao Jingjing's recklessness, he would definitely not let Xiao Jingyuan go. ”
After listening to it, Liang Erer was not shocked, and he did not fight a lawsuit, and nodded directly: "What the prince said is not bad, I did it." ”
"Why?"
Liang Erer smiled: "The prince also said just now, I am not happy!" I can't see Xiao Jingyuan good. ”
The prince of Chu was noncommittal, let her be perfunctory, smiled, and said, "I didn't expect you to hold a grudge like this?" ”
Liang Erer smiled: "Put it down, I only remember Xiao Jingyuan's hatred." ”
The corners of the prince's mouth were slightly raised, and he picked up the chess pieces: "Say, what conditions do you want to negotiate with this king when you come here?" ”
"The prince really deserves to be the prince!" Liang Erer stretched out his thumb and smiled brightly, "I haven't said what I mean, you can guess it." ”
Xiao saw Chu looking at her.
Liang Erer smiled and smiled sincerely.
"Take your smirk." Xiao Jianchu said lazily, "You are here to negotiate conditions, not to ask for this king." ”
Liang Erer was stunned, and the smile on the corner of his mouth froze.
Xiao saw Chu put the last chess piece into the flag box, "My eyes are about to cry, so I don't have to pretend to laugh." ”
Liang Erer bit her lower lip and took off her mask, she rubbed her cheeks, her face expressionless: "What the prince said is right, I am here to discuss the conditions." ”
Xiao Jianchu waited for her next words.
"Please help me find Zou Lan!"
Xiao saw that Chu was stunned, and Liang Er'er's words seemed to be expected by him, but the prince's meal seemed to be unexpected by him.
