Chapter 308: Someone Came Here
Especially the things that the queen arranged for him to do, he needed to be extremely careful not to show his feet.
Fortunately, the people in the palace will not suspect that he, a newcomer father-in-law, will collude with the queen.
Moreover, he looks simple, so it is not easy to arouse the suspicion of others.
The hibiscus tent warms up the spring night.
After the affair, the queen lay on the bed with a flushed face, and when she saw Xu Mo getting out of bed and going directly to the hot spring to take a soak, she put on her clothes in a hurry, and couldn't help but call him with a little curiosity, "Why are you in such a hurry?" ”
Xu Mo said: "I almost forgot that in the past few days, in order to prepare the materials for the four princes and the prince to travel together, the emperor ordered me to lead people to the prince's mansion to pour some valuable goods and take them to those big families to pawn some money." ”
The queen got up and said, "Why do you pawn the items of the Prince's Mansion?" Does Prince Gong know about this? ”
"I heard that this was requested by Prince Gong himself."
Xu Mo thought about it carefully, "Later, I heard the emperor and the four princes say that the rare treasures in Prince Gong's palace that came from last year's tribute are almost pawned, and I hope the four princes can also come up with some ideas." ”
The queen's eyes darkened when she heard this, "If Heng'er handles this matter well, it will make him happy for a while." ”
"I'll summon him later, and after asking him about this matter, I'll think of a way for him, I can't let Shen Huaijin be such a good person."
After Xu Mo put on his boots, he said: "I heard that the prince of the Xiyun royal family runs a lot of restaurants, and I also heard the emperor and the four princes mention this matter before, but the four princes seem to be a little reluctant. ”
The queen nodded, "Achu, the youngest daughter of the Xiyun royal family, has always admired him, but Heng'er is very fascinated by a dancing girl in the Zuihualou and refuses to agree to the other party's proposal. ”
"Originally, if he married King Xiyun, his position in the court would be more stable, but this kid was very stubborn, and he just refused to agree to this family business."
Xu Mo pondered for a moment and said, "Niangniang, but now is the critical time, and the four princes can't be so willful." ”
"Right now, the whole court is staring at this matter, after all, the four princes and Prince Gong have been in constant dispute since then, if the four princes lose to Prince Gong this time, it will be a little uneconomical."
The queen nodded, "Why doesn't this palace know?" It's just that Heng'er has always had this kind of character, and no one can persuade him. ”
"The dancing girl you mentioned earlier, since the Fourth Prince admires her, you never thought of using her to ......"
The queen was slightly stunned, and looked at Xu Mo with a slightly complicated expression, "You also know how to write the word "" now. ”
"Very good, but that woman, I have investigated, and Xue Yizhi, the most popular talent of the dynasty, is an old acquaintance. If this palace really moves her, it is an enemy with Xue Yizhi. ”
Her eyes became deeper and deeper, "At the moment, I haven't figured out the root of Xue Yizhi yet, since his origin is unknown, this palace must be careful with him, so as not to cause any mistakes in the future." ”
Xu Mo's original movements on the bed boots also stopped, "Niang Niang suspects that this Xue Yizhi is from the Prince's Mansion?" It is rumored that Xue Yizhi travels all over the world, how can he have a connection with the Prince's Mansion. ”
The queen glanced at him, as if to reproach him for his lack of knowledge, "What does it matter if you travel all over the world?" There are officials in all these four seas, and they all have direct contact with the capital, and it is not difficult to keep in touch with the prince's palace. ”
"I'm afraid that the purpose of this Xue Yizhi's entry into the palace is not pure, if the palace has not yet figured out his past, and rashly woos him, wouldn't he fall into the trap of the prince's mansion?"
Xu Mo's faint gaze fell on the tip of his shoe, and he slowly got up after a long time, "What Niangniang said is very true." ”
After saying that, he bowed and walked outside, but was stopped by the queen.
"In the future, you can't enter Yikun Palace in such a blatant way, so that people with a heart will look at it, and you will inevitably be suspicious. You take a detour to the backyard and wait for me, and then send someone to tell me. ”
The queen glanced at him a little tiredly, "Remember?" ”
Xu Mo nodded, "Remember." ”
"Go ahead."
After Xu Mo left, the queen's eyes changed slightly, and she called a maidservant to come in, "Announce the four princes into the palace." ”
The maid was shocked, the queen mother rarely meets her own son on weekdays, the two have always liked to have conflicts, every time the four princes want to come, the queen mother will inevitably smash a few vases, a few teacups.
Probably also worried about this kind of thing, so the queen mother rarely announced that the fourth prince came to the harem to see her, and everything was written and sent over, in short, the mother and son avoided meeting as much as possible.
It lit up at dawn.
The Ronglu Inn in the west of the city also took back the lanterns that were hung outside the house last night, and the shopkeeper went upstairs and was about to put away the lanterns, but he saw a person wandering in front of Lin Hanzhang's house.
He is extremely clever, and he can probably guess in his heart that Lin Hanzhang and Shen Huaijin are important ministers in the court.
First, these two people have the temperament left over from the superiors, and in addition, these two people always get up early and deal with affairs diligently......
Therefore, when this sneaky person wandered in front of Lin Hanzhang's house, he was a little curious, since he was here to find Lin Hanzhang to do something, why didn't he knock on the door directly.
The man seemed to notice him too, and the shopkeeper found that this person's eyes were a little evasive, as if he was a little weak.
What was even more puzzling to him was that this man had only lingered in front of the house for a while, and then left.
The shopkeeper still remained silent, only glanced at the man, and continued to do the work in his hands, but he already had the idea of telling Lin Hanzhang about it.
After the man left, the shopkeeper knocked on Lin Hanzhang's door, only to see Lin Hanzhang glance at him lightly, and when he took the breakfast in his hand, he said, "From today onwards, prepare one more meal every day." ”
The shopkeeper was puzzled again, who was the added bowl and chopsticks for?
Could it be that the person who is just the one is really Lin Gongzi's friend?
But how can there be friends who linger outside the house but don't enter the house?
Thinking like this, he saw the man pass him and go downstairs.
Seeing that the man had left, the shopkeeper still felt a little suspicious after thinking about it, so he knocked on Lin Hanzhang's door and said, "Lin Gongzi." ”
Lin Hanzhang seemed to have just woken up, standing in front of him in a loose robe with his eyes worried, those eyes looked at him coldly and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The shopkeeper glanced at the direction in which the man was leaving and said, "Childe, someone came here just now." ”
Lin Hanzhang still looked at him with a cold face, "Well, who is it?" ”
The shopkeeper lowered his voice, "Childe, someone just came over and walked around in front of your door, he should have come to look for you, but he left for some reason." ”
Lin Hanzhang focused his attention on what the shopkeeper said.
