Chapter 671: Gains and Losses

"Click", the curtain of the car was swept up by the wind, and a soft sound sounded.

In this soft sound, the smile on the face of the fourth prince suddenly froze, and then quickly turned to self-blame.

No, he shouldn't have thought that.

How can a man's husband, who stands up to the heavens and the earth, do such a rude thing because he has given a small favor for a while?

Even if he saved Miss Chen Wu, and she was still young, but it was also a girl's house in the deep boudoir, how could he rashly ask for a name?

Such Meng Lang's frivolous behavior is similar to that of the disciple of Nadeng, if he really asked, it would really be in vain to read the book of the sages.

The fourth prince nodded vigorously, and his round jaw wrinkled.

"I did the right thing." He muttered to himself, putting his hands behind his back, his expression serious and relieved, as if glad that he had been able to overcome this little mistake in his thoughts.

However, after another breath, he suddenly blushed again.

At that moment, the girl's beautiful face was clearly appearing in his mind, and the more he wanted to forget, the more he couldn't forget, even if he closed his eyes hard, the smile and the line were all vivid.

After sitting with his hands behind his back for a while, the fourth prince exhaled, put his hands on the desk again, and held his chin in distraction.

But I don't know, does Miss Chen Wu remember him, just like he remembers her?

He looked at the swaying curtains, sometimes frowning, sometimes sighing, sometimes grinning, or staring in a daze, and then he thought of seeing him today, but he didn't know when he would meet again, and he was sad and lost.

That young man's heart is even more up and down, suffering from gains and losses, and there is no end to this way.

The carriage drove leisurely, drove through the streets, through the long alleys, galloped into the imperial city from the Taiping Gate, and went straight for about a cup of tea before stopping.

"Your Highness, it's time to get there." Outside the car, there was a communication of Zhao Ankang.

The four princes finally woke up like a dream, and subconsciously looked around.

The curtains of the car were closed, the windows were closed, and the four walls were only in vain, and it was impossible to see the scene outside the car.

He coughed, straightened his clothes, and said with a straight face, "I know." ”

As soon as the words landed, the upright and serious four princes had already turned around again, and there was no smile between their handsome faces, only diluted and peaceful, and the old pedant was also like that.

Hearing what he said, Zhao Ankang hurriedly stepped forward and lifted the curtain, and the little eunuch put down the gold-lacquered footstool, and the fourth prince stepped on the stool and got out of the car, swept his eyes to the side, and saw that the car was parked outside the gate of the forbidden palace, so he shook his sleeves: "Go, go to Changxi Palace." ”

After finishing speaking, he strode forward, a dark gold dragon robe rolled with his steps, even though the cold wind was raging and the weather was cold, he walked with his head held high, very imposing.

Zhao Ankang hurriedly led people to follow closely. As for the car, the forbidden palace is not allowed to pass, and the guards are also changed from the Imperial Forest Army to the inner court guards.

Following the familiar path, the four princes and their entourage soon arrived at the Changxi Palace.

Empress Dowager Xiao punished herself behind closed doors, and no one refused to see her, so even Emperor Yuanjia had to eat behind closed doors, let alone the four princes. Therefore, not long after everyone stood outside the palace, Pang Yuwen, the second-class steward of Changxi Palace, greeted him with a smile.

This is because it is the prince who came, he showed up, if the princess is here, then he has to be greeted by a third-class chamberlain, and the inferior low-level concubines are about to only deserve to see the little chamberlain of the Changxi Palace.

As for the chief steward Jiang Yusheng, he is only responsible for greeting the emperor and his wife, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, except for the four others, who don't want him to show up and pass on the word.

And it can also be seen from this that even if it is forbidden in the deep palace, the scale in Empress Dowager Xiao's heart is not crooked at all, and the difference between the two is more clear than before.

Of course, there is also a rumor in the palace that the purpose of the Empress Dowager Xiao is to rectify the entire harem and the East Palace after the grounding is lifted, but there are people who do not respect the etiquette system and do not follow the rules, all of them are imprisoned in the cold palace and will never be allowed to leave.

Whoever has a little bit of a brain can figure it out.

Of course, the four princes also understood.

However, in the matter of the East Palace and the Changxi Palace, it was not his turn to intervene, and he didn't want to intervene.

Outside the palace gate, he greeted him with a few kind words that didn't hurt or itch, and finally, left a little chamberlain who was articulate and handy, and he relayed today's news to the Empress Dowager Xiao, and the filial piety of the four princes today was half done.

The remaining half is in Yongle Palace.

So, after resigning from Changxi Palace, everyone went to Yongle Palace.

Compared with the strictness of Changxi Palace, the atmosphere of Yongle Palace is much more peaceful and tranquil. The group was set up outside the palace gate, and Ge Chaoyi, the chief steward of Yongle Palace, went out in person, and said with a smile: "Niangniang is talking about the four highnesses, but it happens that the four highnesses have arrived, and they really have a heart."

The fourth prince asked him with a smile, and while walking with him inside, he asked, "What is the emperor's grandmother doing?" ”

The "grandmother of the emperor" here refers to Concubine Wu.

Since the Changle Palace was divided into two, Emperor Yuanjia renamed the Empress Dowager Xiao as the "Queen Mother" and Concubine Wu as the "Queen Mother".

The former is respectful and sparse, the latter is close and close, the emperor's heart is clear, and it is clear when he hears it.

And Emperor Yuanjia changed his title, and the juniors also needed to change it, so Empress Dowager Xiao was called "Holy Emperor's Grandmother", and Concubine Wu was called "Emperor's Grandmother".

is still the same sentence, Emperor Yuan Jia's heart is not a little biased.

Hearing what the four princes asked, Ge Chaoyi hurriedly smiled and bowed: "If you go back to the Fourth Highness, Niangniang is watching people play." ”

The fourth prince's eyes immediately lit up: "What are you playing today?" But Keju? ”

Last time he came to ask for peace, he was running into more than a dozen small supervisors divided into two teams to bow, and Concubine Wu personally went down to the middle of the game, and personally formulated various rules of the game. The fourth prince was fascinated by it at that time, and almost forgot his homework, so when he heard that he had fun again, his heart itched.

Ge Chaoyi smiled: "Go back to the Fourth Highness, I didn't play Keju today, Niangniang called a few small palace people to dance Baisuo to play, if the Fourth Highness likes it, talk to Niangniang, Niangniang will allow it." ”

As soon as he heard that it was a rope skipping, the fourth prince turned off his head, "oh", and said calmly: "Jumping and jumping, it is not a gentleman's etiquette, I can't do it." ”

"The Fourth Highness is really calm and dignified, and the slave and maid are rude." Ge Chaoyi bowed, and his voice became serious.

The corners of the fourth prince's lips curled, and he quickly straightened again, nodded and said: "If I asked you about the fun first, there is a mistake, and the fault is not with Eunuch Wu, Eunuch Wu doesn't have to blame himself." ”

"Your Royal Highness Xie Si is not punished." Ge Chaoyi said at a glance, and he was not sloppy at all.

The fourth prince nodded, happy in his heart, but his face was not obvious, he had a straight face, and he looked very serious.

It's just that after entering the main hall, this expression is like a spring breeze turning into snow, and there is no trace.

"Grandmother, grandson is here to see you." As soon as Fang stepped into the door of the palace, he immediately smiled, the dimples on his cheeks were deep, and his skin was white and his lips were red.
