Chapter 670: The Young Prince
The ladies of the back house are saying goodbye, relying on the wide sleeves and falling in love with the green placket, don't be a feeling, but the male guests in the flower hall in the front hall are leaving, and the scene is different.
Because the four princes came quietly, and Chen Xun was not allowed to alarm Mrs. Xu and her daughters, it was because he was silent when he came, and he did not publicize it when he went, only Chen Xun and a few people in the know sent him off.
"Chen Hou, I had a great time today, thank you Chen Hou for your hospitality. Daiwu greeted the old man and the old lady. "The four princes sat in the car, under the golden crown, there was a face with red lips and white teeth, long eyebrows and sideburns, eyes like stars, although not as dazzling as the prince, but also handsome and extraordinary.
Although he is still young, and his round jaw still has baby fat, his expression is always serious, and his gestures are a little bit of a dilute taste that is extremely inappropriate for his age.
Chen Xun hurriedly thanked him, and the fourth prince raised his hand slightly, and said indifferently: "Chen Hou doesn't have to send him off, I'll go back to the palace." ”
With his words, the car drove slowly, Chen Xun and the others hurriedly stood on the side of the road, and saw the group of people stepping out of the gate, so they breathed a sigh of relief and went to greet other guests.
After galloping out of the streets and alleys where the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion is located, the four princes ordered, the guard of honor was set up, and for a while, the wheels were chariots, the armor was Xiao Xiao, and nearly 100 royal forest guards held up the tips of their guns and walked through the market.
"Okay, you can talk about it now." Hearing the sound of the city, the four princes said squarely, looking at the corner of the carriage.
A small eunuch was kneeling and sitting, and when he heard this, he immediately reported: "Your Highness, the slave maid just asked someone to ask carefully, and the fifth girl Chen is fine, only a little surprised." Mrs. Hou had a ready-made soothing soup on hand, boiled it for her to drink, and it didn't take long for her to fall asleep. ”
"So." The fourth prince bowed his head, smiled, and in an instant, a dimple on his left cheek was still hidden at first glance.
This smile is childish.
He should be aware of this, so he quickly put away his smile and asked: "I remember, when Miss Chen Wu walked to the lake, there seemed to be a maid by her side, but then she fell into the water, but the maid disappeared, do you know where she went?" ”
"Your Highness forgives me, the slave didn't ask." The little eunuch cried and mourned, his eyebrows and eyes drooped, and he didn't have a little spirit: "The slave and maid are not good to inquire clearly, so they only quietly asked a few people, those people don't know the identity of the slave and the maid, and they love to ignore it, and the slave and maid obey His Highness's words, and they don't dare to bully others, so they can only come back."
The fourth prince immediately straightened his face: "Duh, I asked you to do something, how can you not do it?" Are you still not mine? Still don't listen to me? ”
The little eunuch was so aggrieved that he was about to cry: "Ouch, Hey, Your Highness, the slave maid is a little servant, how can the slave and maid inquire so much about the affairs of the Hou Ye's family?" In case people suspect that the slave maid is helping His Highness to find out......"
"Shut up!" The fourth prince quickly interrupted him, and although he tried his best to stretch his face, the tips of his ears began to redden, and soon spread out, gradually staining his cheeks, and his whole face turned red.
Now he looks more and more like a child
A red-faced child.
He panicked all of a sudden, but fortunately the little eunuch was supporting himself and did not look up, so naturally he couldn't see his big red face.
The four princes' eyes rolled, and the detective picked up the book from the desk and opened it, blocking his eyes.
The big book just covered most of his face, and he sighed behind the book, and then seemed to think of something, his face was blush, and the redness of his cheeks became deeper and deeper, and it had the tendency to spread to his neck.
"Ahem." He pretended to cough and tried to pronounce it from his larynx to make his voice low and reach the level of majesty: "Zhao Ankang, you are not doing well, and you will be punished for cleaning the study for ten days." ”
He twisted his eyebrows, and did not dare to move the book in his hand for fear of revealing a red face.
"Yes, Your Highness." The little eunuch named Zhao Ankang hung his head and said dejectedly.
The fourth prince secretly glanced at him from the top of the page, opened his mouth and laughed.
Because no one could see it, this smile hung on his face for a long time, washing away the dilution between his eyebrows, which was the childishness and flamboyance of a young man.
He tried his best to hold back his laughter, and said, "Also, you will be punished for copying the ten chapters of the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra for half a month." ”
Zhao Ankang screamed, crawled on the ground and begged: "Your Highness, Your Highness, the slave begs you, can you forgive the slave and the maid for a few days?" Poor slave maid has not learned to write for half a year, and I can't copy it so fast, Your Highness might as well beat the slave and maid board, Your Highness ......"
The last "Your Highness" is really nine twists and eighteen bends, not to mention how wronged and pitiful.
The four princes laughed heartily behind the book, although they were silent, but their smiles were extremely bright.
Then, he made a straight face and said solemnly: "Okay, for the sake of your short-term learning of words, and for the sake of being very pitiful, I will punish you for copying five articles, and it will not be reduced." ”
Zhao Ankang burst into laughter, for fear that he would regret it, and said loudly: "Yes, Your Highness." His Royal Highness is full of words, and the slaves and maids listen to His Highness's orders. ”
"Alright, alright, you can step aside. I want to think about something by myself. After saying these few words, the face of the fourth prince finally became less red, so he threw down the book and said calmly.
One line stops, and it is as serious as it was at the beginning.
Zhao Ankang was like being amnestied, and he hurriedly retreated.
The curtain opened, bringing in a wisp of cold air, which then closed again.
The four princes stretched their straight bodies, and only then did they loosen up slightly, bend their arms, support their chins, and look at the curtain embroidered with gold patterns, and a beautiful face appeared in their minds.
It turns out that there is really a country and a city in this world, and I occasionally found it in books in the past, but I always felt that it was not credible, but now I can see it with my own eyes, and I believe it.
Thinking about the goddess fairy and the green girl Su'e in the sky, I'm afraid it's just like that.
Unconsciously, the tips of his ears began to redden, and the girl's gentle thanks echoed in his ears.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for saving your life."
She is good-looking, her voice is good, she is soft and delicate, and even her mother's voice is not as good as her.
Then, how did he come back?
The four princes frowned, thinking about it, but they couldn't remember what they said at the time, and the only thing they could remember was the heartbeat like a drum of "dong dong".
At that time, he was worried, afraid that the sound of his heartbeat would be overheard, which would damage his princely demeanor.
Fortunately, she didn't seem to hear anything, and only sat by the lake with her head down, until she was picked up by her family, and her head was kept down.
Ah!
The fourth prince sat up straight all of a sudden, and a trace of remorse quickly crossed his flushed face.
Forgot to ask her name!
He knocked his head hard, and his whole face wrinkled.
It was clear that she was sitting by the lake, not far away, and he casually found an attendant to ask him, and it was not rude to think about it. After all, he rescued her from the water, and it should still be okay to ask her name.
The fourth prince straightened his chest and smiled brightly.
