Chapter 43: Bad luck
"I heard that the seventh brother has been getting close to the eldest brother recently." Chen Zhurong put down the teacup, his narrow eyes bent, and a trace of charm added to his angular face, "I am here to ask Brother Seven, what do you think about the royal power?" ”
Ouyang Yu slowly shook his fan, retracted his eyes, and took a leisurely attitude: "Chen Guo has a saying that whoever wins the saint wins the world." Whoever marries a holy woman, to whom I will be loyal to him, and I will not be in vain in the cultivation of my father. ”
"A good one who wins the saint will win the world." Chen Zhurong clenched his left hand tightly and hid it in his sleeve, "But my father promised the two holy daughters to the eldest brother!" Brother Seven, are you standing in line? ”
Ouyang Yu shook his head, picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Definitely." If you can give marriage, why can't you give it again? Eighth Prince, you are a smart man, you don't need me to say more, do you? As the stepson of the great general, I should respect the family oath and only recognize the orthodoxy of the Chen State! ”
Chen Zhurong secretly gritted his teeth. He also knew that there was a possibility of giving it again, but it was even more difficult than ascending to heaven. If he finds out, he will directly oppose the prince, and even provoke his father to be angry, and give him a fief!
However, he also got the news he wanted - as long as Ouyang Yu remained neutral, he would be able to equal the crown prince.
Chen Zhurong stood up, bowed his hand to Ouyang Yu, and smiled slightly: "It's getting late, and the younger brother will disturb the seventh brother." ”
Ou Yangming got up and saluted back: "There is no turning back when you open the bow, and there is no possibility of turning back after you have done some things...... Caution is also needed. ”
"Thank you Seventh Brother for your teachings." With that, Chen Zhurong strode out.
Downstairs, Chen Ling was pulled into a small corner and listened to Chen Zhuxiang's teachings: "What do you promiscuous people know? Don't ask questions in the future! Otherwise, this prince will not spare you! ”
She nodded again and again, honestly admitting her mistake: "It's me who is curious and talkative, please forgive the little prince." ”
Seeing that she was sincere, the fourteenth prince waved his hand and said, "That's right! ……”
Before he finished speaking, the old bustard greeted him and said, "Little prince, why did you suddenly come out before the banquet was over?" If the eighth prince can't find anyone later, what can the slave family do! ”
Chen Zhuxiang pouted: "My brother has something important to do, will he come back for a while." ”
"Then don't run around!" The old bustard sent him to kneel, this little prince has been cared for by the concubine and the king since he was a child, and he has been pampered by thousands of people, but it is unfortunate that he collided with the God of Wealth who just came, "Fourteenth prince, just now the slave family made a delicious snack for you, go over and taste it!" ”
Hearing about eating, the little guy's attention was immediately attracted, and after a few more words of reprimanding Chen Ling, he went to eat.
Chen Ling patted his chest and returned to the wing room with Ju'er: "Fortunately, it wasn't the eighth prince who came to find it." ”
The eighth prince had seen her appearance, and if he was recognized, he would have reported to the palace that she had wandered in the fireworks and willow lane...... I don't know how it will be punished.
But as soon as she returned to the wing, her worries swept over her like a wind.
"Lingling! Hand it over to Prince Ben! Before anyone saw the roar coming, the people who asked the flower pavilion were taken aback, and before they could react, the door was kicked open by Chen Zhuyuan, and he flicked his sleeves as if he could fight at any time.
Today, he went to Yufu as usual, but he didn't see anyone, until he finally couldn't hold back, asked Yu Xin, and finally learned where Chen Ling went from a small mouth.
Chen Zhuyuan inquired around again, only to learn from a small citizen that he had seen her before asking Huage! He suddenly thought that Chen Ling was forced to enter the Wenhua Pavilion and went directly to the door to save people.
In the wing room, Chen Ling's whole body stiffened, and he hurriedly went to the back yard to escape, but his mother took people directly to the backyard in order to coax the prince!
Seeing that he was about to bump into him, Chen Ling hid in the nearest room. But Ju'er was still seen.
Chen Zhuyuan immediately grabbed Ju'er's arm and yelled sternly: "What are you hiding from a!" What about the saints? Tell me where Lingling is! ”
Everyone followed over to see the excitement, but when they heard such shocking news, their eyes widened - the holy woman came to ask the Flower Pavilion! It's really my daughter's family who doesn't want to be reserved!
Chen Lingzhen was a head and two big, opened the door and came to Ju'er's side, protecting her behind him: "I'm here." Let go of the oranges! ”
The backyard is no better than the hall, and the lights are dim. Everyone wanted to see the saint's face, but they could only see that there was no disobedience in men's clothes on a small body.
Seeing that she was fine, Chen Zhuyuan put his mind at ease, paid attention to her clothes again, frowned and said, "What kind of dress are you?" Why don't you go back with me and change your clothes? ”
At the same time, Chen Zhurong and Chen Zhurong wanted to be in the crowd and wanted to see how she ended.
Ouyang Yu also heard the news and said coldly: "How long will it take to see how long it will be lively?" ”
When the officials heard this, they hurriedly dispersed and talked in the hall.
Chen Zhurong had a flash of inspiration and returned to the palace with Chen Zhurong. Although Chen Zhuxiang was not sensible, he also knew that it was not a glorious thing to ask Huage, if the eldest brother knew, the seventh brother would inevitably be punished, so he didn't ask much, and only followed Chen Zhurong back.
Asked in the Flower Pavilion, Ouyang Yu came to Chen Ling's side and said to Chen Zhuyuan: "Why is the prince so anxious, he has to ruin the reputation of the saint?" ”
Chen Zhuyuan reacted at this time, and it was really inappropriate just now: "This prince is worried that Lingling will be kidnapped here......"
Before he finished speaking, he heard Chen Ling sneer: "I'm fine, if you don't come, it will be better!" ”
"What are you talking about?!" Chen Zhuyuan's face sank even more.
Yu Xin also hurried to Chen Ling and said, "Lingling, let's get out of here quickly." Although the people in the world are open, they have not heard the saying that women are nostalgic for the place of wind and smoke. ”
Ouyang Yu put away the folding fan and explained flatly: "It's the king's fault that he brought Ling'er over to see the excitement...... Ling'er, listen to the prince, go back. ”
Chen Ling was very unhappy in his heart, but he could only nod his head and settle the account after he went back.
As soon as they exited the back door, the entire alley was surrounded by the Praetorian Guards. The torches were red, blocking their path. The king rode a horse and looked at the five people in front of him, and grabbed the reins: "Okay! Take them all back to me! ”
Tonight is not destined to be peaceful. The four were taken back to the palace and interrogated. Yu Xin cried and confessed, and the prince also told what happened. Chen Ling took the responsibility on himself. Ouyang also said that he did it.
In the end, the king slapped the case and said angrily: "Someone! Hit the king of the twenty boards, face the wall and think about January! Yu Lingling, I don't give you the power to go to the Qinglou! ”
"The people's girls know their mistakes." Chen Ling knelt on the ground and said helplessly.
Chen Zhuyuan knelt down and pleaded for her: "Father, although Lingling is playful, she didn't make a big mistake, so spare her this time!" ”
Yu Xin judged the situation and pleaded: "Yes, Lingling has been injured repeatedly, what if she breaks her body?" ”
Wang Shang paced for a long time, and finally glanced at Chen Ling: "'I should teach and think' for three days!" I'm good for myself! ”
After speaking, Chen Ling was brought into the palace by the grandmother, checked again, and was dressed up and sent to the prince's bedroom.
Chen Zhuyuan saw that her eyes were gloomy and her face was ugly, and he couldn't help but feel a little distressed: "Lingling......"
"Are you satisfied?" She rolled her eyes, trying her best to suppress the anger in her heart, "Why is it that every time I suffer, it has something to do with you!" ”
