Chapter 108: The Difficult Sutra
Prince Chung's Mansion.
"Mother, what do you say the imperial uncle will give Chang'an?" Since returning home from the palace, Xiao Yu can be said to be proud, and the only thing to blame is what the emperor will give Xie Changan.
Prince Zhong smiled lovingly, "No matter what is given, it is a good thing in the end, Yu'er, you don't have to chase after it, come and drink the soup, that day was a hard day Yu'er performed such a big show." ”
"Oh? Yu'er acted? Could it be a shadow puppet show again? Xiao Yuan looked at Xiao Yu with a smile, not knowing the praise or disapproval, "If you want me to say, Yu'er pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger all day long, I can't tell the truth of Yu'er. ”
Xiao Yu's clear eyes shone brightly, and he accepted Xiao Yuan's praise in full, "Little brother, thank you for the praise of the eldest brother, however, I was not a shadow puppet show for the imperial grandmother and the imperial uncle that day, but acting in my true colors." When the words fell, Xiao Yu vividly reproduced the scene of the day.
Prince Zhong and Princess Zhong glared at Xiao Yu with disgust, "Yu'er, it's good to eat, don't make any more trouble." Prince Zhong reached out and patted Xiao Yu's restless hand, "You, you are making trouble all day long, your imperial grandmother was very sad that day, don't make your imperial grandmother sad again in the future, your imperial grandmother is old......
"Mother, the child knows it's wrong." Xiao Yu gave a playful look, and said abruptly: "I see the imperial grandmother today, but she is older than last time, if you are free, you still have to find more time to enter the palace to accompany the imperial grandmother...... By the way, big brother, can you be a few more shadow puppeteers? ”
Xiao Yuan understood, but shook his head, "Yu'er, this move is inappropriate." If you want to play shadow puppets and the imperial grandmother, take the previous shadow puppets, and think that as long as Yu'er plays them, the imperial grandmother will be happy. ”
Xiao Yu thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Big brother, it's me who didn't think about it." ”
"Yu'er, your imperial grandmother's greatest wish is to see you regain your clear appearance, if you really want your imperial grandmother to be happy, you might as well ......" The palace of the king has been properly sealed, and Prince Zhong feels that Xiao Yu no longer needs to pretend to be crazy and stupid.
Xiao Yu's clear eyes suddenly dimmed, flashed unknown emotions, and then shook his head, "Mother, it's not time yet." Thinking of today's unexplained overtures by the prince, Xiao Yu felt uneasy in his heart, didn't he leak any rumors?
Seeing that Prince Zhong and Princess Zhong still had to persuade again, Xiao Yuan hurriedly said: "Mother, Yu'er has Yu'er's plan, the imperial grandmother is not in a hurry, there will always be a day when the imperial grandmother will know, but it will be too late to know, and it will not be a big deal." ”
"Mother, the child promises to talk to the imperial grandmother when the time comes, the child promises." Xiao Yu shook the hand of Prince Zhong and Princess Zhong, and told again uneasily: "Mother, don't tell others about my good things." Xiao Yu's eyes were deep and serious.
Prince Zhong and Princess Zhong had to nod and said seriously: "Yu'er, my mother knows that you have something to hide from my mother, and my mother doesn't ask much, but Yu'er, promise my mother, you have to make yourself safe, if something happens to you again, my mother really can't stand it......" said, her eyes fell like a broken thread.
Xiao Yu took Prince Zhong in his arms and promised: "Mother, don't worry, I will be fine." Xiao Yu patted Princess Zhong's slightly twitching back, feeling guilty, "It's the child's unfilial piety, which makes my mother worry......"
Xiao Yuan on the side patted Xiao Yu's shoulder, like a calf, "Yu'er, if there is anything, don't forget the eldest brother, as long as it is Yu'er's business, it is the eldest brother's business." ”
"What's going on?" As soon as Prince Zhong, who returned from going out to play, entered the house, he saw the mother and son crying, with a serious face, as if the sky was about to fall, and quipped: "The sky is falling, and there is a father on top, don't panic anymore." Let's all sit down, a table of dishes, don't eat it all and look at it. ”
Seeing Prince Zhong, who was reckless and natural, the mother and son laughed, and Prince Zhong and Princess Zhong hurriedly wiped away her tears, not forgetting the joke, "If the sky falls, you won't be able to worry about hundreds of them." ”
Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yu looked at each other and smiled, Xiao Yuan said, "Where did Dad go this time?" What do you see? "When Prince Zhong goes out, he can encounter some interesting things and strange things, and he will talk to Xiao Yuan when he returns. Why don't you talk about Xiao Yu? That Xiao Yu is still stupid, how can he understand?
"This time it was calm, only interesting things, strange things, only small things. A few days ago, I passed by a Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing and saw a woman tied up by a group of mothers-in-law, thinking that she was chased back halfway, and vaguely heard the maid calling Miss Biao, saying that she was not going to make trouble again, but the woman's eyes were full of hatred, just staring at the maid who tied her up, and did not say a word. Of course, the cousin was naturally tied back. ”
Prince Zhong stopped Prince Zhong and Princess Zhong from wanting to speak, "Don't ask me why I don't care about this matter, the Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing belongs to the Yanjun Palace." ”
Xiao Yu's expression froze, but he didn't say anything.
Seeing that the atmosphere was solemn for a while, Prince Zhong and Princess Zhong hurriedly diverted the topic, and said with a smile: "Lord, you are back at the right time today, today the emperor said that he would give Yu'er the title of the king of the county, and the title of 'An', which means that I will be in Chang'an, and the mansion is on the edge of the palace, and I think that the holy decree will come down tomorrow." ”
"That's great!" Prince Zhong was overjoyed, stroked his palms and laughed, and joked: "Yu'er, you and my father and I will be 'kings' in the future, and I will teach you a lesson!" Come, replace wine with tea, Yu'er, congratulations, come, Yuan'er. ”
"Dad, don't laugh at Yu'er, you are Yu'er's father, when you want to teach Yu'er, you can teach Yu'er a lesson." Xiao Yu drank all the tea in the cup, "But Dad, now Yu'er won't cause trouble, I'm afraid Dad won't be able to find a chance to teach Yu'er a lesson." Xiao Yu poured a full cup of tea, "Dad, Yu'er respects you!" ”
Prince Zhong was full of emotion in his heart, seeing Xiao Yu's clear and unparalleled eyes, the emotions of cutting and untidy and chaotic suddenly dissipated, his heart was inexplicably relieved, and he was relieved: "Yu'er, you have grown up." Prince Zhong raised his glass and touched Xiao Yu, and the estrangement between father and son in the past, whether it was mustard, all disappeared.
Seeing this scene, Prince Zhong and Princess Zhong were quite relieved, and couldn't help but reddened her eyes again. Xiao Yuan smiled at Prince Zhong and Xiao Yu, and was sincerely happy.
"Come on, come on, if you don't eat it, it'll be cold."
Yanjun Palace.
"Have you found out?" Princess Yanjun sipped the hot tea, put the tea cup on the table, and turned up the tea lid to ripple the tea in the cup back and forth.
The housekeeper raised his eyes to look at the inexplicable Princess Yanjun, lowered his head again, and reported the truth: "Back to the princess, it was Li Caifu who took people away." "It's not a person, it's a corpse.
Princess Yanjun was stunned, and the sound of porcelain colliding was particularly crisp, causing the key to shrink for a while, and fine sweat broke out on her forehead in the cold days, and she lowered her head tremblingly, waiting for Princess Yanjun's orders.
After a long time, Princess Yanjun lightly closed the tea lid, picked up her armor, and asked casually, "How is Ning Wei?" ”
The housekeeper pondered for a while before saying, "Back to the princess, Miss Biao has been looking for an opportunity to escape, but without success. ”
"Take care of her, don't leak the news, otherwise, I'll ask for you."
The housekeeper was sweating on the ground, and said busily: "Don't worry, princess, those maids and women are all confidants, and they are guaranteed to be foolproof." ”
Princess Yanjun nodded slightly, "As for the Su family." Princess Yanjun picked up the letter on the table and handed it to the housekeeper, "Send this letter to the Su family." ”
Princess Yanjun was busy cleaning up the aftermath, and Yan Qinglan was not idle.
It's rare that there is a warm sun today, and it is not as rampant as the cold wind. Yan Qinglan took advantage of the sun to step into the garden, but saw that the garden was full of gloom. Fortunately, Yan Qinglanzhi was not admiring the paintings, so he walked to the pavilion after a short pause, "Ah Fu, but has it been handled properly?" ”
"Don't worry, it's all handled properly."
"Let's get to the bottom of it." For a long time, Yan Qinglan seemed to sigh, not knowing whether it was for herself or for others.
Li Caifu raised his eyes and saw Yan Qinglan's not without sorrow, sighed secretly, his mind turned, and said with a smile: "Lord Shizi, your marriage with Miss Xie is far away, and the beginning of spring is March and April, why don't you start preparing as soon as possible, so as not to ......be in a hurry for a while."
Hearing this, a smile finally appeared on Yan Qinglan's handsome face, just like the flowers and bones that bloomed in early March, fresh and beautiful, so that people couldn't bear to disturb them. Yan Qinglan turned to look at Li Caifu and said with a smile: "Since Ah Fu thinks about me so much, then how can I live up to Ah Fu's good intentions?" In this way, Ah Fu, you first ask the housekeeper and mother-in-law to ask how to prepare, I think the princess has no intention of taking care of it. ”
Li Caifu immediately responded, "Don't worry, Ah Fu will go." Li Caifu ran out of the garden with a puff of smoke.
Yan Qinglan stood on her own, looking at the vast courtyard and didn't know what to think. After a long time, Yan Qinglan walked down the stairs and reached out to touch the snowflakes covering the branches, and the cold meaning invaded the heart, making people feel a lot more sober. Yan Qinglan suddenly chuckled, turned around and walked towards the main courtyard.
"Mother, the child has come to see you." Before stepping into the door, Yan Qinglan heard a crisp sound of breaking, and as soon as she stepped into the door, a newly broken porcelain piece fell in front of Yan Qinglan's boots. Yan Qinglan glanced at the tea flowing around, as well as Princess Yanjun's angry face, and said with concern: "Mother, who made you so angry?" ”
Princess Yanjun raised her eyes to look at Yan Qinglan who was placed in the sun, and her calm atmosphere was the same as before, as if there had never been any unhappiness between mother and son, and mother and son had always been kind and filial. In an instant, Princess Yanjun pulled up a smile on her lips, and said lightly: "It's okay, it's just that the maid is a little clumsy, accidentally burned, and broke the teacup by mistake." ”
"In this case, my mother should not be angry with it, and it will hurt her body a lot." Yan Qinglan chuckled, looked at the panicked maid on the side, and said gently, "Hurry up and clean up." The maid received the order, glanced at Princess Yanjun, and hurriedly leaned over to clean up.
"Lan'er, what is the matter with coming to my mother today? Dining or going to the theater? ”
