Chapter 230: Keeping Promises
Without waiting for Zhou Shiren to come up with one, two, three, four, five, Jun Chen took out a piece of silk cloth and a bronze medal engraved with Jun Chen's name from his arms and handed it to Zhou Shiren: "I will leave early tomorrow morning, I am afraid that I will not have a chance to see her, and after I leave, you will hand over this thing to her, and tell her that the Jun family is willing to obey her dispatch, and I have not broken my word." ”
After seeing clearly what she handed over, Zhou Shiren's hand shook and he almost threw the thing in his hand directly.
To his surprise, the general actually took out the Jun family token.
The bronze plaque was specially made by the Jun family, and it was different from the identity tag used by ordinary members of the monarch family to prove their identity.
Don't look at this as a small object, but once this object is used as evidence, Junmen will be dispatched by her.
Zhou Shiren asked with a headache: "The general is talking about the prince now?" ”
As soon as these words came out, in an instant, Jun Chen looked at him twice with the eyes of a fool.
seems to be asking silently, who else can the Jun family worship besides the prince?
Zhou Shiren's face turned black when he saw it, and he wanted to complain back, it was obvious that the general himself couldn't speak clearly, and he was still talking to him about the unknown girl a moment ago, and then he suddenly pulled on the body of the prince of the East Palace.
It was the general who jumped too fast on the topic that made him stunned for a moment.
After all, even if Zhou Shiren was given ten dares, he would never have imagined that Jun Chen would only say one person from beginning to end.
The next day, when the sky was bright and the night had not completely faded, thin snowflakes began to float in the sky
Tens of thousands of city guards have already gathered outside the city and are ready to go, just waiting for the arrival of the lord.
A quarter of an hour later, Jun Chen chased after him with a whip, facing the black crowd in front of him, and after confirming that it was correct, he said in a deep voice: "Let's go!" ”
The team left along the official road in an orderly manner, and Junchen did not look back again.
The sooner he leaves, the sooner he will return.
I don't know when it began, for the court that he once avoided, he actually had the intention of lingering because of one person.
When the light first appeared, it was half an hour later.
In the dormitory of the East Palace, Qi Changrong pulled the bell at the head of the bed as usual, and after the palace people presented the toiletries and left consciously, he opened the bed curtain with one hand and silently tidied up his appearance.
As soon as she went out, Ji Fang had already prepared a meal, and while she was eating, she listened to Ji Fang's reply:
"Chen Guo's person in charge of giving New Year's gifts this time is a bit special, and His Majesty ordered you to receive it in person."
Qi Changrong swallowed the food in his mouth, his eyes were cold and calm, and he asked casually: "Who is Chen Guolai?" ”
"The third prince of Chen Guo, Chen Sansi."
Qi Changrong paused in the movement of his chopsticks, raised his eyebrows, and took the initiative to ask: "Father and Emperor personally ordered him to receive him?" ”
"Yes." Ji Fang said confusedly: "Is there something wrong?" ”
Qi Changrong glanced at Ji Fang deeply, and saw goosebumps all over the other party's body, before he slowly retracted his gaze, put a chopstick vegetarian dish in his mouth, and only after swallowing it did he say, "There's nothing wrong, you continue." ”
Wrong? That's a big mistake.
She still remembers clearly that the last time Chen Sansi came, her father specially told her several times that she must stay away from Chen Sansi and not be spoiled by him.
But now, it is to let her personally receive this unlearned Chen Sansi.
Could it be that in the eyes of his father, his true sin is unforgivable?
After a short period of doubt, Qi Changrong put everything back into his mind.
At this time, Ji Fang responded aggrievedly: "I heard that the third prince of Chen Guo named and wanted you to receive him. ”
Hearing this, the doubts that had surfaced in Qi Changrong's heart before finally dissipated.
It turned out that Chen Sansi took the initiative to make a request, and his father was not easy to refuse, so he agreed.
Ji Fang continued: "This time, he came with him, as well as the three envoys of the Chen State, who have been discussing business with His Majesty in the imperial study since they came, and I heard that they stayed for three hours. ”
As he spoke, the anxiety in Ji Fang's heart became heavier and heavier.
Although he is not a discerning person, he also understands that if the emperor and the envoys of Chen Guo can talk in the study for three hours, then that matter must be very important, and it may be very involved.
But now, there is no rumor at all.
Hearing this, Qi Changrong's movements became slower and slower, his brows twisted slightly, and he had the same doubts as Ji Fang in his heart.
She thought carefully about what had happened at this time in her previous life, but her mind was blank.
Today's experience and the memories of the previous life don't match at all.
In her previous life, she was not confined because of the Junmen incident, and she didn't know Jiang Bowen's wolf ambitions at all, she couldn't see through Yang Yishu's disguise, and she wouldn't have a series of tosses in the middle.
And this year has been extremely uneventful, without any accidents.
She is still the long-faced prince who is high up and does not seem to eat fireworks in the world, and everyone in the palace is in awe of her, not to mention that she will choose someone else to serve.
And the Junmen of the previous life has long been destroyed, and there is no chaos in Chenzhou.
So, she thinks she knows what happened, so she can easily take countermeasures, but she forgets that if her choice is different, then the enemy's choice will also change.
After all, no one will stand still and be slaughtered.
The so-called butterfly effect, nothing more than that.
That is, everything has been disrupted since she avenged the king's house.
Her memories could no longer help.
Thinking of this, a sense of sullenness arose from the bottom of Qi Changrong's heart, she put the jade chopsticks in her hand hard, and slapped them on the table, and the surrounding dishes that were tired of the action also trembled slightly.
Ji Fang was startled, and hurriedly looked carefully, but just happened to see Qi Changrong's gloomy appearance.
He was shocked, thinking that something big had happened, so he hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said without thinking: "Your Highness is angry!" ”
Qi Changrong, who almost walked into memory, was called back by this voice, and after coming back to his senses, he saw the people kneeling on the ground around him, but he was a little helpless: "Get up, Lone just thought of an unpleasant past, and it has nothing to do with you." ”
Hearing this, Ji Fang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but still stood up extremely carefully, he thought that His Royal Highness had also learned to be moody like outsiders.
After adjusting his mood, Qi Changrong took the water from the hand of the maid on the side and rinsed his mouth, opened his mouth to let the meal be withdrawn, and asked softly: "Where did the father arrange the three princes of Chen Guo and their envoys?" ”
Qi Changrong recognized the facts, but he did not have the slightest intention of retreating.
Isn't it just that you don't have the advantage of your previous life? She didn't believe that she was still unable to fight Jiang Bowen, who was full of conspiracy.
Since it was pointless to recall what had happened at this time in her previous life, she had to start over, if nothing else, to at least find out what the envoys and her father had said in the imperial study.
Otherwise, her situation is too passive.
"In order to show one of his friendship to the neighboring countries, His Majesty temporarily placed the third prince Chen in the Bird Palace."
"Bird Palace?" Qi Changrong raised his eyebrows, and then said, "The palace not far from the East Palace?" ”
Ji Fang nodded: "Exactly." ”
The history of the Bird Palace is longer than that of the East Palace, when the Qi family laid down the country, the Bird Palace already existed, no one knows who lived in the palace in the past, just look at the furnishings inside, everywhere exquisite but not luxurious, but not like a place to live for a long time, but like a place to rest temporarily.
I heard that when Emperor Taizu was alive, he wanted to directly turn the Bird Palace into the East Palace, which was used as the residence of the prince of the dynasty, but later I don't know who went to Cambodia, and the palace of the defeated country was not good for the prince's residence, so the East Palace was rebuilt next to the Bird Palace.
That's where she lives today.
Father Emperor could have found another place to go, but he arranged the third prince of Chen Guo in the Bird Palace, which was so close to the East Palace, Qi Changrong really didn't understand what he meant.
After thinking about it, Qi Changrong said: "Later, you will ask someone to pick something and send it over there, and it will be said that it is an apology for the third prince." ”
As for what kind of gift is paid...... As long as he thought of Chen Sansi's reluctance when he was taken away, Qi Changrong felt a headache.
He had concealed his identity for so long at that time, knowing that Chen Sansi was looking for the prince of the East Palace, and he appeared in front of Chen Sansi several times with Jun Ju'an's name, although he really didn't mean to play with him in his heart, but he just turned people around.
Now that I think about it, it's really underwhelming.
If the positions of the two people are reversed, even Qi Changrong, who boasts of being broad-minded, will not be able to swallow this breath.
Seeing that His Royal Highness looked like a great enemy, although Ji Fang didn't know why she was so dignified, she also raised her heart, and hurriedly went to the treasury to carefully select a gift of reparation, and then went to the Bird Palace.
In the Bird Palace, Chen Sansi was cross-legged Erlang, playing with the fresh melons and fruits that came from time to time, and there were many waiters next to him sorting out the bags he brought.
Chen Yixuan took a bite of the fruit, and then stared at the little eunuch who was carrying the wooden box, deliberately scaring him: "Let me tell you, this prince's box is full of very valuable things, put your hands and feet lightly, if you fall, ten of you will not be enough to compensate!" ”
As soon as he said this, the little eunuch, who was not very nervous, immediately became nervous, and his muscles tightened, but the hand carrying the box could not be more steady.
The little eunuch didn't dare to breathe, and when he stepped forward again, he became cautious.
Chen Sansi hooked his lips with satisfaction: "That's right, treat the things of this prince, of course, you have to be careful and careful." ”
Otherwise, if you accidentally fall, whose head should it be counted?
Seeing this, Chen Yixuan, who was directing the chamberlain to move things, turned his head to look at him, and seriously proposed: "Why don't Your Highness go to the apse to rest first, and then come out after they have cleaned up here?" ”
This is Minghuang's disgust.
Chen Yixuan's body was very helpless, and he wanted to accuse a few words, but he didn't have the guts.
Seeing that the third prince was sitting there giving people invisible pressure, and from time to time he would open his mouth to tease these little eunuchs, he had the urge to stuff people into the apse and lock them up.
