CHAPTER XX
"You said that Gongzi Xie stood at the gate of Princess Shaoguang's mansion for a long time?" The girl's brows furrowed slightly, "Then can you find out what the relationship between the two of them is?" ”
The maid was cautious, raised her eyes and glanced at her own young lady, but did not notice that her young lady had an unhappy expression on her face, so she eased her breath and continued, "I heard that in the evening a few days ago, Gongzi Xie and Princess Shaoguang entered the Yiren Building and ordered Miss Bai Zhi to play the piano. Later, the two left together. At the end, he added, "This matter has spread all over the capital." ”
"I see, you go down."
The maidservant walked out cautiously.
The girl put down the page in her hand, and her eyes were dim and uncertain, "shaking the light...... Princess...... Is it? ”
The post of the chrysanthemum banquet was put aside, and the three large gilded characters on it sparkled.
The peach blossom banquet hosted by the eldest princess Kaiyang, how could Princess Shaoguang not go?
The woman reached out and picked up the post, with a hint of interest on the corner of her mouth, "Shake the light princess, wait and see." ”
"Ahh Shake Light rubbed his nose.
"You got cold on the roof last night, didn't you?" Rong Wen put down the things in his hand and smiled.
"No. I think I'm being remembered. ”
"It's good to be remembered." Rong Wen smiled, "I'm afraid that you won't be remembered." ”
"What are you afraid of not being remembered? Sooner or later, I'll make them worry about it! The girl smiled, and it was very bright. Okay, you should go back quickly, you should enter Beijing today. ””
"You, take good care of yourself."
"Xuan-the son of Southern Xinjiang."
Rong Wen stretched out his hand to smooth the folds on his clothes, raised his head and smiled slightly at the eunuch who led the way, with elegance in his gestures, but with a burst of coughing, the eunuch who led the way couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Kneel down and salute, "The minister is warm - I have seen the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." ”
"You...... Is it the temperature of the capacity? A majestic voice came overhead.
Rong Wen, who was lying down, trembled with the majestic voice, "Yes." ”
"Get up." Bestow the seat.
"Your Majesty." Rong Wen stood up, covering the corners of his mouth, a cough came from the corner of his mouth, and the entire solemn imperial study was full of coughing sounds at the moment.
The Emperor seemed to be a little impatient by the cough, "Is your father okay when he comes in?" ”
"Thank you for your concern, Father...... Ahem...... Body...... The cough is still fine. Rong Wen couldn't stop coughing after sitting down.
"Now that I'm fine, I'm relieved." The emperor glanced at Rong Wen, "I haven't seen your father for several years. And you, when I first met you, you were still such a small lump, and now you are so big. The emperor smiled, his eyes full of reminiscence, "It's rare for you to come to the capital once, so you might as well stay longer." ”
Where the emperor couldn't see, Rong Wen evoked a sarcastic smile. disappeared in an instant, and then all that appeared on his face was gratitude, "Emperor Xie." ”
"You are not in good health, there is a garden in the south of the city, and there is a hot spring in it that can just recuperate your illness, you might as well live in it these days when you are in the capital." The emperor smiled softly and arranged everything for Rong Wen in the capital.
"What do you think...... How about this son of Southern Xinjiang? After Rong Wen left, the old emperor squinted his eyes and asked the old eunuch who had followed him for decades.
"Back to the emperor, the slave maid thinks that this son of southern Xinjiang will not live long." The old eunuch on the side bowed and said.
"Yuheng...... and Shaoguang, which do you think is more compatible with Rongwen Shizi? The Emperor asked casually.
The old eunuch was embarrassed on his face, "Isn't the emperor embarrassed by the slaves?" ”
Their royal affairs, even if the emperor asked, even if he already had the answer in his heart, he didn't dare to say it. can stay by the emperor's side for so long, what should be said and what should not be said, you must always have a degree in your heart.
"Forget it, I know I can't ask you anything." The old emperor waved his hand, and his heart was irritated.
The king of Southern Xinjiang has only one son, Rong Wen, who is now twenty-two years old. If you want to catch Nanjiang in your hands, you must marry the princess of his Li family. Yuheng's temperament is a little weak, and he can't make a big deal, so he left the palace since he was a child, and he doesn't know how much he cares about the Li family. The two princesses, neither of them is suitable to marry Nanjiang.
The old emperor became more and more irritable in his heart, I really don't know how the founding emperor could have named a king with a foreign surname and gave him hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses.
Coming out of the palace, most of the rich and noble families in the capital knew that the prince of southern Xinjiang had entered Beijing at this moment.
When Princess Kaiyang heard this, she hurriedly drafted an invitation and sent it to Rong Wen.
"I'm the eldest imperial sister, but I'm very fast."
In the annex in the south of the city, Shaoguang smiled with a post.
"The son of Southern Xinjiang is also a good name. How do you listen to you, as if I shouldn't be? ”
"The so-called chrysanthemum banquet is just a gathering of the children of rich and noble families in the capital." Shake Guang looked disdainful, "Maybe you can find a princess you like." ”
"The princess? Yes, there can be. Rong Wen pondered, "I don't know if Princess Shake Light has a recommendation?" ”
Shaoguang thought about it seriously, "Don't worry, I'll help you take a look at it when the time comes, tell me which one you like, and I'll help you bring her home." ”
Xiao Jiujiu in her heart has already calculated it, this time she must find a princess for Rong Wen, otherwise she really dare not face Uncle Rong. If it weren't for Rong Wen who has been behind her all these years to advise her, Rong Wen would not have a princess now.
"Forget it." Rong Wen stared at the shaking light for a long time and suddenly deflated, "My broken body, which girl I married, which girl is unlucky." ”
"Your southern Xinjiang is a rich land, whoever marries the prince of southern Xinjiang, isn't the rest of his life glorious and rich?" Shake the light face was a little sleepy, "How can this be considered unlucky?" Don't worry, your marriage is on me. ”
"It's good that you live comfortably here, I'll sneak back to my princess's mansion first." Shaking Light waved his hand, and disappeared into the courtyard in two or three jumps, "Something will inform me of the Tinggong Hearing." ”
"Lord Shizi, are we going to this chrysanthemum banquet?
Rong Wen's hand kept rubbing a few gilded characters on the post, with a faint loneliness in his eyes. Hearing this, he said, "Go, of course." ”
If he doesn't go, how can he recognize the sons, brothers and young ladies in the capital, and if he doesn't go, how can he open the way for Shaoguang and let her go more steadily.
Listen to the palace listening to the meeting and glance at each other, and unanimously did not speak silently.
Shaoguang and Rongwen happened to meet at the door, the two glanced at each other, and tacitly went to the interior of the garden together.
The glazed garden, oh no, is now called the Jade Garden. There was no change in the slightest, it was very familiar, and I shook my heart and walked along the familiar road to the back garden.
There are not many people in the back garden at the moment, and the chrysanthemums are blooming one by one, just like ten years ago. The refreshment tables and chairs are now in place, waiting for the invitees to arrive.
Shaking his body in a flash, he got into a small pavilion that was a little remote.
This little pavilion was specially built here when she was a child, and she liked to sit in it alone and sleep, and then let the people in the house worry about her disappearance.
When Shaoguang walked into the small pavilion, Rong Wen was already sitting inside.
At this moment, Rong Wen was thinking carefully about a game of chess in front of him that he didn't know where he got it. Seeing the shaking light, Rong Wen pointed to the opposite side of him, "Come, sit, play a game with me." I've always known that you're good at chess, but I've never felt it. ”
"How do you know about this place?" As he spoke, he picked up a white piece and landed on the chessboard.
Rong Wen smiled, and then shook the light, "I didn't know which ghost girl told me all day long, didn't I find this pavilion as soon as I entered the back garden?" Thinking of being seen as a monkey outside for a while, it is better to stay here and be quiet. ”
"Do you remember anything that far away?" Shake the light followed by a drop, and the game on the board suddenly changed.
Rong Wen's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, he didn't expect that Shaoguang's chess skills were so superb. At the moment, they also restrained their interest in playing, and the two began to fight back and forth. Black and white overlap on the chessboard, swords rattling, each half of the country.
"Over the years you have been in Jingshan, you have studied chess thoroughly." Rong Wenyan glanced at the light, and the meaning in his eyes was unclear.
"It's so boring on the mountain, I can only read books and play chess." Shaking Light said nonchalantly, her attention was on the chess game at the moment.
Rong Wen couldn't help but smile when she saw the girl's serious look, and then left her son in the shaking country. At a glance, it was extremely abrupt, and his subordinates died mercilessly.
"You're too ruthless, aren't you?" Shake the light with a sad face.
Rong Wen smiled silently, and landed his own piece on the chessboard again.
The two sons of black and white seem to be stuck at the moment. Shaking his lips, he solemnly landed Baizi on the chessboard. Baizi's faint momentum suddenly rose, swallowing a lot of Kuroko's rivers and mountains.
"Your chess skills are really amazing." Rong Wen gave up the struggle at the moment and instantly admitted defeat.
Shaking the corners of his eyes with a sigh, he moved the sunspots that had been trapped to the chessboard one by one, "Who called me...... It's incredibly smart. ”
After the two of them finished the game, the sky was already much darker than when they came. The melodious sound of the piano also came from outside the pavilion, which was very comfortable in this evening. Rong Wen also draped the cloak brought by Tinggong on his body, making Rong Wen even more delicate.
Shaoguang listened very comfortably, raised his eyes and said to Rong Wen, "Didn't I say before that I would find you a princess?" What do you think of this girl who plays the piano? ”
"I play the piano well, I don't know what it looks like?" Rong Wen followed the shaking light path, without the slightest concern on his face.
"Those who can come here must be the daughters of the ministers of the DPRK and China, and there are some concubines who are excellent in both appearance and skills. This girl's piano skills are so high, she must have put in a lot of effort, and her appearance will definitely not be bad. There was a sarcasm on the corner of his mouth, and there were a lot of concubines and concubines of the ministers of the court, and the best ones were selected and raised, and they were used to marry in the future to consolidate their status, and the concubines were ...... It was sent to the palace.
