Chapter 243 Admit Mistakes?
The carriage circled around the road several times before turning to the snow garden, and when it arrived at the place, it was almost noon.
When Mama Xu saw Steward Lan suddenly visiting, the two old friends were both excited, until Mama Xu blurted out when she saw the blue baby at first glance: "Miss Lan?!" ”
Blue Baby was shocked, how could she forget to know her other identity to the people in Snow Garden.
"Mama has recognized the wrong person, the villain is the long history around His Highness, and everyone calls me Grandpa Bao." The blue baby was unfazed and calmly introduced himself.
Mama Xu glanced at her a few more times, and the more she looked, the more familiar she felt, but the other party's eyes were very unfamiliar with her, was it really just that she was mistaken?
"Mama Xu, Your Highness arranged for them to stay in the Snow Garden for a few days, and you are all waiting for you." At this time, Steward Lan opened his mouth again.
Mama Xu temporarily put aside her doubts and hurriedly ordered someone to vacate a yard.
"It's noon soon, if Steward Lan is not in a hurry to leave, let's stay for a light meal." Mama Xu looked at her old friend and said.
Steward Lan thought for a moment, and then did not shirk.
The snow garden has always been carefully cleaned up, and it is a matter of minutes to make a clean yard, and Mama Xu quickly led the three of them over.
"I recognized the wrong person, if there is any offense, please forgive me Gonggong." Entering the courtyard, Mama Xu suddenly apologized to the blue baby.
Lan Baobao hurriedly returned the salute, "It's okay, I'm often mistaken, and Mama Xu is also unintentional." If you have something to do, go ahead and let us clean it up. ”
Mama Xu had already seen that the two maidservants next to her were serving this father-in-law, and she was even more puzzled in her heart, she had never seen any Changshi with such a style.
"Okay, the three of you have a good rest, and someone will bring lunch in a while." Mama Xu said that, then nodded and left.
Tang Yuan and Sang Zhi looked at the courtyard in front of them, delicate and elegant, although not half the size of Heguang Tongchen, but the layout was very meaningful.
There is a cloister behind a two-story attic, Sang Zhi deliberately walked over to take a look, and soon came back and said in surprise: "Later, there is a small kitchen, which has been useless for some years, clean up, and the slave and maid can still cook meals for your father-in-law in the future, so as not to make you unaccustomed to the food in your heart." ”
"It's okay, I'm not a picky eater." Lan Baobao said with a smile: "Since they are all out, just like Uncle Lan said, it should be regarded as a vacation, and you don't have to think about how to serve me every day." ”
"The slaves are used to it, and besides, they are not tired of serving you at all." Tang Yuan and Sang Zhi smiled slightly, and began to allocate rooms with their luggage, upstairs was a large bedroom and a piano room. In addition to the flower hall downstairs, there are also two rooms, which seem to be reserved for the next person.
Lan Baobao went up to the second floor, opened the window to ventilate, glanced out, and suddenly saw the courtyard for Yun Guifei's tablet, but he didn't expect it to be next door.
"Concubine Niangniang, if you have a spirit in the sky, you must bless Your Highness safe and sound." The blue baby interlocks his fingers, faces the direction of the tablet, closes his eyes and prays.
Steward Lan was invited by Mama Xu to the dining room in the atrium for lunch, and the two old friends had not seen each other for many days, so they naturally had to say a few words of greeting, and only after three rounds of wine did they mention the chopsticks.
Steward Lan had one thing in mind, and after eating a few bites, he asked with a slight drunkenness: "Painted heart, why did you call Xiaolan a blue girl just now?" Is there a girl here? ”
For the existence of Xue Yuan to His Royal Highness, Steward Lan couldn't be clearer, according to His Highness's temperament, if he wasn't a recognized person, he would never bring someone over.
Mama Xu was also slightly drunk, squinted her eyes and asked, "Xiaolan?" Who's that? It's the same surname as Miss Blue. ”
"Xiaolan is Grandpa Bao." Steward Lan explained.
Mama Xu was stunned and said in surprise: "It turns out that he is also surnamed Chu...... No, Brother Lan, you know that I see people most accurately, and I rarely recognize the wrong person. And that Bao Gonggong, both in stature and aura, is nine points similar to the blue girl. ”
"Where did this Blue Girl come from?" A hint of excitement suddenly flashed in Steward Lan's eyes.
Xu Mama didn't notice it and explained: "His Royal Highness brought a girl a few years ago, and they stayed in the mother's house for a night. Later, on the first two days of Chinese New Year's Eve, His Royal Highness brought the girl over again, and went to worship the lady's tablet. That day......"
"There was also a person who came over that day, as if it was a relative of this blue girl. By the way, not long ago, Miss Lan came alone and met her relatives here. ”
Years ago, at that time, His Royal Highness also led a girl back to the palace, and later sent it away. He was also very disappointed about this, and he complained about Xiaolan because of this, but if what Huixin said was true, then he ...... Old fool, old fool!
"How can you admit that you have seen that girl a few times?" Even though he already had an answer in his heart, Steward Lan was still not very relieved.
"You don't know, the blue girl is very cautious every time she comes, and never shows her face in front of us, and so does her relative. You say it's strange or not, and I don't know where that girl is. Mama Xu sighed.
Steward Lan suddenly remembered that Blue Baby had said, "She...... If you have committed a crime, you must not appear in front of the world, otherwise you will ...... If the Ling Wangfu takes her in, it will also affect the Wangfu. ”
If he was right, then Xiaolan was guilty of bullying the king, which would explain why the mysterious girl was in a hurry in the palace.
It turns out that His Royal Highness is not a broken sleeve, but Xiaolan's identity cannot be said. His Royal Highness still likes women, and this news should have made Steward Lan happy, but when he thought that His Highness had been hiding it from him, he suddenly felt that his heart was dripping blood.
"Painting the heart, this master is going to serve her life today, she is the treasure of His Royal Highness, and she can't be neglected." Steward Lan admonished.
Mama Xu is so smart, you can see the clues from Steward Lan's series of reactions, and she is also embarrassed in her heart.
After learning this truth, Steward Lan couldn't sit still here, and he wanted to talk to Lan Baobao but didn't know where to speak, and he wanted Lan Bao to take the initiative to alienate His Highness, now think about it......
His old face is about to be lost, fortunately, the relationship between Xiaolan and His Highness has not been shaken, otherwise he would probably have cut off His Highness's marriage.
Sins, sins, sins!
In the end, Steward Lan still didn't go to see Baby Blue, Xiaolan's identity is not easy to say, so let's see how His Highness plans it.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he also has to quickly remedy the relationship between him and Xiaolan, so as not to have a harmonious relationship between master and servant in the future, and also affect the peace of the palace.
The three of them just stayed in this courtyard for one night, and the next day Mama Xu came over and told her, "I originally planned to arrange for you to live in the courtyard next door, but I didn't have time to clean it yesterday, so I wronged you to stay here for a night, so let's move there today." ”
Next door, isn't that the courtyard where she and Her Highness lived before, and the spiritual seat of Yun Guifei is still enshrined, why did Mama Xu suddenly want her to move there, wouldn't she see something?
"Mama, you are too polite, we live here very comfortably, and I always bother you to mobilize the people, and I can't go in my heart." Baby Blue smiled and declined.
"Hey, father-in-law, you're welcome, it's all a family." Mama Xu didn't reveal her identity, and after speaking, she asked someone to go in and move things.
Seeing this, Blue Baby could only ask Tang Yuan and Sang Zhi to help.
In the snow garden, it was seven days, and the first two days of the blue baby was still anxious, wanting to go out to inquire about His Highness's situation, but he was afraid that he would help him if he went out.
She endured it for three days, and Steward Lan came over and brought a handwritten letter from Jin Lingluo.
After seeing it, the blue baby finally let go of the worries that had been going on for days, only he was still depressed, "Is Your Highness really okay?" Then why am I not allowed to go back to the palace? ”
Steward Lan thought of His Royal Highness's appearance now paralyzed on the bed, and couldn't bear to close his eyes for a while, reassuring Lan Baobao: "During this time, there is some chaos in the capital, the palace is not safe, Your Highness is also entangled in business, and it will be difficult for Your Highness to take care of you when you go back, so it is better to stay here." Don't worry, I will often come to deliver letters in the future, you must not go out, it is very safe here. ”
"What does it mean that there is some chaos in the capital?" Baby Blue asked in surprise, feeling a bad premonition in her heart.
Steward Lan hesitated for a moment, feeling that there were some things that still had to be known to Xiaolan, so that she could be more aware of her current situation.
"It is said that His Royal Highness King Sheng wants to ...... He wanted to raise an army to rebel, secretly formed a party for personal gain, and also contacted a group of people in the rivers and lakes, and he would raise an army when the time was ripe. ”
"You say ......" Lan Baobao thought that he was hallucinating, and said in surprise for a long time: "You said that King Sheng is going to rebel?" So what about him now, has he already left the capital? What about the concubines and little princes in King Sheng's mansion? ”
Steward Lan explained: "No, King Sheng's thoughts, His Royal Highness has long been aware of it, and has been paying close attention to his movements, this time he also found some clues, His Royal Highness deliberately asked people to let the news out, and now the people in the entire capital know that King Sheng is going to rebel, and he has reached the Holy Hearing, two days ago, King Sheng's mansion was surrounded by heavy Jin Wuwei, which is considered to be temporarily under house arrest on King Sheng." ”
"Have you found the concubine of the Shengwang Mansion?" Blue Baby asked.
"I heard His Highness say that these people are all used by King Sheng to disrupt the guards, and that concubine is likely to be hidden by King Sheng." Steward Lan said.
Lan Baobao thought of what Fang Fei had said, she wondered why King Sheng insisted on establishing a concubine, today, it seems that he wanted to use the palace infighting to attract the attention of Youduwei, and he secretly gathered his own forces?
If you really want to rebel, you need not only to recruit troops, but also to buy a large number of weapons, grain and grass.
Lan Baobao clasped his fingers, and suddenly thought that the batch of weapons lost by Ming Jianzhuang could also be related to King Sheng?
I heard General Bai say that those weapons were lost in Xucheng, and there was an old man of His Royal Highness King Sheng in Xucheng. Although the two families had formed a knot due to the death of the princess, King Sheng had personally come to the door to plead guilty, and with the current interests and power, enemies can also become allies.
"Uncle Lan, is there anything going on in the palace? For example, in the palace of the concubine? Lan Baobao thought of Lan Yu again, if his father-in-law already knew that her heart was for His Highness, and now he couldn't find her, would he vent his anger with Yu'er?
"Palace? Everything is the same, but I have never heard of anything happening. Steward Lan said.
Blue Baby breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, you wait first, I'll write a reply letter, and you can help me send it to His Highness." ”
Seven days later, there was even more chaos in the capital, and King Sheng fled alone under the heavy siege of Jin Wuwei, leaving behind a group of concubines and his own son.
King Sheng, who had fled for another three days, suddenly appeared outside the city, and with a group of assembled green forest heroes and a team of elite soldiers, he wanted to break through the city gate.
Fortunately, the capital had already taken precautions, and when they heard that the rebels were coming, the people of the whole city hid, and there were only groups of soldiers patrolling back and forth on the long empty streets.
The people are praying that the rebels can be defeated, and the team assembled by a group of Jianghu people will definitely not be as strong as the elite soldiers trained in the regular military camp.
Who knew that Jin Wuwei only resisted on the city wall for two days, and the city gate was actually breached, and Jin Wuwei was defeated and retreated by a group of stragglers, and retreated along Suzaku Street again and again.
