Chapter 6 The Childhood Plum
I wrapped you in a quilt and sent it to the Regent's Palace.
This is a snarky statement, without the slightest respect. Even if it is a girl in the Red Mansion, I am afraid she can't stand such ridicule.
After Li Cong finished saying this, his eyebrows and eyes were raised, waiting for Su Qiang's face to turn red and even cry in annoyance.
The young lady of the official eunuch family of the scholar clan was literate at the age of six, and the first article she learned was "Husband and Wife" in "The Female Commandment". Be obedient to her husband and obedient to her aunt. Although she had the courage to poison herself on her wedding night, she would never forget what she had learned in her bones.
So Li Cong stopped and raised his eyes to look at Su Qiang's little face surrounded by mink fur, waiting to see her expression.
Surprisingly, the face was not red or pale. Su Qiang just raised her hand, casually pulled the thick mink fur around, and said with a slight curve at the corner of her mouth: "It's a little cold today, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to wrap it, he must wrap it thicker for his concubines." ”
The misty eyelashes on those penetrating eyes flickered and flickered, as if they were joking, and they seemed to be extremely deferential. Li Cong's face turned white as he waited to see the joke, and he stood in place, not knowing how to reciprocate in a hurry.
Is this still a famous lady with a smile, a shy and introverted face?
This is a street scoundrel whose skin is thicker than the city gate!
After Su Qiang said this, she still looked up at Li Cong. Three points of sincerity and seven points of obedience in his eyes, as if waiting for Li Cong's next command.
In that look, there was a faint hint of innocentness.
Li Cong usually speaks coldly, but he doesn't know how to answer at this time. Just as he was about to say that he would send her back to see if she would be afraid, the attendants and palace maids behind him misunderstood that they stopped to wait for their shoulders, and quickly approached, but it was inappropriate for him to say those words again.
In annoyance, he had to cough a few times, causing the chamberlain to hurriedly lower his shoulder and wait for him to sit down.
When he climbed up on his shoulder, Su Qiang even reached out to help him to show his consideration.
Interesting......
Li Cong used a few violent coughs to hide the waves in his heart.
This kind of occasion that left him speechless to refute only appeared once. That time was also in the palace, although it was not Su Qiang, but the girl was also sharp and sharp, which made him angry as the prince.
"What's so great about the prince? It's just His Majesty's eldest son! Since you are just lucky, you should cherish your good fortune. is crying and crying like this, like the prince of what country? ”
The girl in red, who was only eleven or twelve years old, walked past the palace maid who was kneeling on the ground, and picked him up from the ground, who was only nine years old.
He didn't explain that he had lost his temper and beat the chamberlain, only because they had stopped him from going to his mother's bedchamber. The attendants said that they had just rested and that they were not bothered.
Look, his mother is dead, and although he is a prince, he has lost his greatest protection. Even the chamberlain can stop him, and they can prevaricate him.
She lifted him from the ground and dusted him off. Where did the young but uneducated child buy the face of her strange girl, and as soon as they came together, they swung out a whip and wanted to whip her in the face.
How do you know that the girl who looked weak suddenly shook her backhand, easily removed the leather whip from his hand, and smiled casually: "Good brother, do you want your sister to teach you the whip method?" That's not going to work, I'm going to have to wait until you're older. ”
She called herself brother, but she couldn't remember any princess sister who looked like this. But saying this gave him face.
He was childish at that time, wondering how the whip had come into her hand, forgetting to lose his temper, and pestering her to ask questions.
She followed the example of an adult, put the whip behind her back, smiled and bent over, and said, "Brother Prince, tell me, what are you looking for Her Royal Highness the Queen." ”
He snorted: "This palace wants to go to guard the soul of the queen mother, and the chief steward said that he wants to return to his father, but my father doesn't see me here......" As he spoke, his voice became lower and lower, and he gradually even blushed.
There was a thin mist between the girl's clear eyes, and after listening to him, a hand suddenly stroked his hair, rubbed it gently, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is worried, and I am even more sad to see you again." Your Highness is going to watch the spirit, but you know that you have a heavy responsibility and still have a lot to do. ”
He had heard these words say these words many times, and he felt that they were prevarication. But when I heard her, it seemed like every word.
He believed in her, and he believed in her from the beginning.
But she is not Su Qiang. Su Qiang doesn't deserve to be compared to her.
Li Cong closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them again, the banter and annoyance in his eyes had disappeared, replaced by a cold and cold look.
Su Qiang walked behind with the shoulder rearm, eager to pull Li Cong off the shoulder reel, and then kicked him hard.
The mouth is too poisonous!
Her face was light and light, but she hated it in her heart.
She and the regent were just chatting for a few words, and he was so sarcastic and ridiculed.
It's just a lack of cleanup! After all, he was a child who grew up in that environment.
Su Qiang sighed slightly in her heart, and shook her little hand in her wide sleeve.
Every time she wanted to kill someone, her hands tickled.
……
"What's wrong with the prince?" In the regent's palace, a dignified young man dressed in green clothes greeted the regent, and when he saw his face, he asked tentatively, "But what's going on in the palace?" ”
Only then did Li Zhang realize that he had not concealed his emotions, shook his head and said, "It's nothing. ”
Over the years, he has gone from a prince who was born before becoming a knight to the step of regent, and the man in front of him has made five points. So in front of him, there is no need to hide your emotions.
The man in Tsing Yi didn't ask anymore, just stood quietly aside.
After a while, Li Zhang picked up the coarse porcelain teacup on the table and moistened his mouth, suddenly turned around again, and asked, "Zhang Shuo, you say, will the prince give birth to an heir?" ”
The man in Tsing Yi, who was called Zhang Shuo, was slightly startled when he heard this, and thought for a moment and said: "The prince has such an illness, which is almost no different from a wasted person, should he not be ......?"
Li Zhang interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "You should hear about last night." ”
Last night, the prince couldn't wait to enter the cave room without making an auspicious ceremony, and the regent palace did not deliberately help cover it up, so it has spread all over the palace walls and outside today.
Zhang Shuo nodded and said, "The minister didn't see it with his own eyes, so it must have been done by the prince for people to see." ”
This answer had obviously been imagined many times in Li Zhang's mind. Hearing this, he nodded, with a relaxed look on his face.
"Lord Wang," Zhang Shuo saw that Li Zhang's mood was better, and said: "The minister inquired about it today, Su Yiming behaved strangely last night, and it seems that he has something to hide from us." ”
"What?"
The spies in Su Mansion said that Miss Su woke up after hanging herself a few days ago, and her speech was quite crazy. Later, Su Yiming talked with Miss for a long time before Miss Su agreed to this family business. Originally, it was nothing, but on the eve of the wedding, Su Yiming handed over something to Miss. ”
Li Zhang's eyes were heavy, staring at Zhang Shuo's face and said, "What? ”
"Poison. He wanted Miss Su to assassinate the crown prince so that he could assist the prince to succeed to the throne. ”
"Ridiculous!"
The tea cup in Li Zhang's hand was slammed to the ground, and the splashed tea leaves and juice stained his robe black.
