Chapter 477
The old emperor has a total of thirteen sons, only seven survived, except for Mu Qingao as the king, the other six are princes, and the adults moved out of the palace to live, and the eleventh prince just turned ten years old this year, and he is also the youngest of the living princes.
His mother's surname is Liu, and the concubine is from Zhaoyi, who is a second-rank concubine, and is not favored by the old emperor.
After the crown prince was demoted to a commoner, the remaining princes were ready to move, creating various opportunities to show themselves in front of the old emperor every day.
The eleventh prince is gifted and intelligent, and he has the demeanor of Prince Jing when he was a child.
When the old emperor and King Jing sang a double reed and acted, the eleventh prince didn't like to be compared with the third brother, for fear that the old emperor would kill King Jing one day and affect him again.
However, when the government and the opposition found out that everyone had been deceived by the emperor and Prince Jing for more than ten years, the eleventh prince immediately changed his face and took the initiative to talk to others about his knowledge and cultivation.
Liu Zhaoyi's father is just a petty official in Jiangdong, and over the years, he has given birth to a son for the emperor with his daughter, and the family of chickens and dogs has ascended to heaven, and often does some things outside in the name of Liu Zhaoyi.
The emperor belittled the crown prince to make an example, Liu Zhaoyi's family thought that the eleventh prince could be appreciated by the emperor, and he took the opportunity to make money outside, and some officials reported it to the emperor.
At this time, Doubao suddenly entered the palace, and it was rumored that Mu Junmo, the son of King Jing, would become the next generation of monarchs, and the eleventh prince suddenly panicked.
A three- or four-year-old child should be honest if he scares two sentences, so that day, the eleventh prince blocked Doubao in the imperial garden, wanting to teach him a lesson, but he was punched in the stomach by Doubao, and he almost went into shock because of the pain.
From beginning to end, this matter was seen by the old eunuch Wang Hai beside the emperor, and he told the old emperor word for word, who is right and who is wrong, the emperor has his own measure.
After listening to Doubao's narration, Song Qingyun hugged his son distressedly and said, "You did the right thing, whoever bullied you, you will bully back, this is so that people don't offend me, I don't offend people." In the future, you have to tell your mother the right thing to do, and don't hide it in your heart for your mother to remember. ”
"Mother, don't worry about your son, I won't suffer."
Relying on the old emperor to like him, Doubao also made a lot of excitement in the palace.
There are a few mothers in the palace who have no heirs and high concubines, and they like Doubao at first sight, although Doubao wants to call them grandmothers, but no one wants to be called old, and they will try their best to please him when they see Doubao.
Guo's mother sneered, "What a diligent little girl, I asked her to watch the fire in the kitchen, and after a while, she ran to the prince's side, I really underestimated her, and I said good things for her in front of my wife before, I really know people and don't know my heart." ”
"Mother Guo, what happened?" Seeing that her face was not worried, Ah Fu asked in surprise.
"It's nothing, you pay more attention to the red lotus in the future, don't ask her to drill into the lady's room."
On the other side, Mu Qingao teased Sister Yin after entering the house, the little girl was just when she was loved, and her father was a very patient person, making the little doll "giggle" and laugh happily.
"Lord Wang, has the investigation of the oven been damaged?"
"Xu Ao is investigating."
"If the oven suddenly breaks halfway through, the consequences are unimaginable!"
"Because of this, the cause of the break must be found, lady, I know what you are worried about, and I am also restless in my heart."
"Could it be that the remnants of the crown prince have been mixed in?"
"No, even if the prince's remnants are not cleared, they are also grasshoppers after the autumn, and they can't jump."
"Who could it be? Isn't it your suitor? Jealous that I married you? And then you want to wait for an opportunity to get revenge on me? ”
Mu Qingao was laughed at by her, "How can I be so attractive?"
"Lord Wang, it seems that you don't know much about your own market!"
After the wedding, when Ye Qingqing was playing with her, she said that on the day of her wedding, many unmarried women in the city were clamoring to commit suicide, and some people scolded her behind her back for being a fox spirit and hooking away the soul of King Jing, otherwise how could the prince not pick thousands of flowers, and he had to marry a vulgar country woman as his wife.
You can't have the heart of harming people, you can't have the heart of guarding against people, it's best to break the oven by yourself, it has nothing to do with anyone, otherwise Song Qingyun will definitely go to Shu with a sense of vigilance.
Lin Xuao's investigation results really confirmed her hypothesis, and everyone had witnesses to prove that they had nothing to do with the oven break.
I'm afraid this matter will not be resolved, and Song Qingyun is very depressed.
She suspected that Red Lotus was the devil.
From the beginning of hearing about her life experience, Song Qingyun had a bad impression of her.
She is not a conspiracy theorist, sometimes a woman's intuition really can't be expressed in words, she just suspects that Honglian has a bad plot against her, but she can't find any evidence.
Honglian may have never appeared in front of Song Qingyun again to avoid suspicion, and Song Qingyun had no choice but to hide his thoughts and never mention it to anyone.
After resting for three days, and after the nurse was well, they continued on their way.
Shu is not a rich land, and the further southwest you go, the more difficult the road becomes.
"If you want to get rich, build roads first!"
This sentence is common at any time, Jing Wang Ye has been in Shu for many years, and he has indeed spared no effort to repair a road, but the southwest boundary mountains are steep, the weather is changeable, and it can rain several times a day, and no matter how good the roadbed is, it can't withstand the destruction of bad weather.
On the way, Suyi told her that the money earned by the prince from opening a restaurant was used on the people of Shudi, and the roads were built one after another, which has greatly improved the local ecological environment, which is much better than when he first came.
"What was it like fifteen years ago?"
Even if she didn't ask, she could imagine that their team passed through several villages, and in Song Qingyun's eyes, those people all lived a life of primitive society and drank blood, men, women and children did not cover their bodies, their faces were yellow and thin, and they all showed vigilant or attacking eyes when they saw the living, and the place where they lived was even more exposed and vulnerable.
"The prince is really the prince of the world!" Song Qingyun said with heartfelt emotion, and at the same time, he was proud and proud that he had found the right man.
After stumbling for ten days, it was only a hundred or ten miles away from Shu at this time, and the official road became more and more spacious.
Entering October, the weather is unusually hot.
On the way they came, they all avoided some big cities, so some officials in the state capital had no way to take the opportunity to appease the prince.
But when he arrived in the Shu area, the prefect who had received the letter early before was waiting on the side of the road five days ago.
"Lord Wang, Lord Fei asks to see you."
It was noon, and the group was resting at a tea stall on the side of the road, Jiang Jue walked over quickly and whispered a few words in Mu Qingao's ear.
Mu Qingao looked back at the man and horse standing under the tree in the distance, nodded to Qingyun, and walked over with Jiang Jie.
"Why didn't the prince call that adult to come over and talk?" Guo's mother asked puzzled.
"The prince is not confined to false etiquette, he must have something to talk about with that adult!"
