Chapter 46: Temptation
Fool it! A few days ago, the third prince brought her a letter at home, why did her brother never mention it.
Unconsciously rolled her eyes, she and Cousin Xingchen studied for a while, and now the roll of her eyes can be described as perfect, both good-looking and sharp.
Ho! Where did you learn this bad problem?
I wanted to leave with my sleeves, but I was afraid that she would be curious about the palace, so I didn't do what happened last night, so I was patient and introduced her to the layout of the palace.
"Out of the queen's Kunning Palace, to the west is the emperor's residence of the heart palace and Qianqing Palace, to the east into the imperial garden, in the imperial garden to the south is the residence of the virtuous concubine, Lanyue Palace, the imperial garden to the east, is the residence of the prince and us." He bowed his head and whispered in Baozhi's ear: "That's where you went yesterday." β
Without waiting for Baozhi to reply, he continued: "There are many people in the palace, the rules are big, no better than at home, if you have something to do, ask them to run errands, and call them to accompany them to the garden when you are idle, don't walk around alone, beware of accidentally losing your head." β
This is to remind her of yesterday's events, if it weren't for the rebellion of the third prince and his framing of her family, why would she risk her life in the palace in the middle of the night.
I didn't want to entangle with him more about this matter, so I simply followed his wishes, followed him, and said a few words without a match.
Along the way, Chu Yao wanted to speak several times, he wanted to ask her, did he know that the emperor wanted to point her to the prince as a side concubine when he went to the prince's east palace last night, he wanted to tell her that the prince was born sick and weak, and it was not a good match, if she didn't want to, he would definitely find a way for her.
Thinking about it, there is a midsummer on the side, and this matter can't be said anyway, not to mention marrying the prince of the dynasty as a side concubine, how many women can't look forward to it.
Find a chance to ask her alone.
Baozhi didn't know what he was thinking all the way, thinking about himself, how to seize the time to find the flaws of the three princes' rebellion.
Walking along the stone path of the Imperial Garden, a little palace maid caught up from behind and called Midsummer away, Midsummer was not worried that Baozhi and Chu Yao were alone, and repeatedly bent his knees to Chu Yao, asking him not to leave Baozhi.
Chu Yao waved her hand impatiently and asked her to leave quickly.
Midsummer walked away, and he was finally able to ask the words that had been held in his heart for a long time: "Did you go to see the prince on purpose yesterday?" β
Bao Yi was stunned, she definitely couldn't say that she deliberately went to check the evidence of the rebellion of the three princes, but what was the reason why she was a person of normal mind and wandered around the palace in the middle of the night.
"I've been in the palace for more than a month, and I haven't seen the prince, so I'm a little curious about him."
She really knew, but did she know about the prince's illness and weakness? If she didn't say it, I'm afraid no one would tell her, "The prince... Sick and weak since childhood..."
What does it matter to her that the prince is sick and weak? Could it be that he has bad intentions and wants to trick her now?
"Today, the saint loves all the people and blesses the world, and I believe that the Buddha will bless me for the Great Zhou." Since Baozhi entered the palace, the biggest gain is that he has mastered a serious nonsense.
The little girl is too naΓ―ve, if she could be cured sooner, she would still be able to delay until now.
Chu Yao was anxious to let Baozhi understand: "You don't know, I grew up with them in the palace since I was a child, and the crown prince he..."
"Okay, I know, thank you Gongzi Chu for the reminder." Baozhi didn't want to listen to his nonsense anymore and disturb the audio-visual, no matter what happened to the prince, she would not fall for him again and commit rebellion with them.
It seems that she has made up her mind to marry the crown prince, well, since she is willing, then he will not say more.
When Baozhi returned to Kunning Palace, he was really sleepy, so he changed into his regular clothes and fell into bed to dream of Zhou Gong.
On the other side, when Chu Yao found out that Bao Zhicun had the idea of marrying the prince as a side concubine, he was extremely depressed. He couldn't think of a reason himself, he just wanted to beat the prince.
Right! Baozhi is the sister of a good brother, that is, his sister, how can he watch his sister jump into the fire pit. Since Baozhi is his sister-in-law, he is in charge of this matter.
Chu Yao finally convinced himself.
threw down the pen, called the chamberlain to come in and change clothes, and went out of the palace.
Today's Huguo Temple, it is really a city, first the maid of the Zhenxi General's Mansion came to deliver the letter, and then the three princes came in a hurry, Master Huitong just sent away the three princes, and then the eldest princess of Roufu and Chu Yao, the only son of the Duke of Qi, came again.
Chu Yao came, and he didn't say what he meant, but just drank tea and discussed Zen with Master Huitong, and only after a long time did he vaguely explain: "I don't know if Master can approve a woman's life?" β
One or two came to him for approval, when he was a hexagram stall!?
"I don't know which donor?"
"You have given her life. The cousin of Zhao Ge's hometown. β
All three of them came for this one! Master Huitong shook his head secretly, he had calculated that the child was not an ordinary person, and it seemed that it should be more than that.
"It's already been approved, so why bother again."
"The mage doesn't know, this woman..."
For a few days, the queen summoned one of the treasures to have breakfast together, and after breakfast, she asked Midsummer to take her to the imperial garden for a walk, and she always met the three princes who happened to pass by in the imperial garden.
The third prince doesn't talk much, and occasionally says a few words with a little humor, and he doesn't feel bored when he accompanies him all the way.
The two talked all the way from poetry to incense, "Speaking of which, who makes the incense in the palace?" β
"Generally, it is supervised by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and there should also be tribute."
"The queen mother and the virtuous concubine don't make their own incense, right?" Since ancient times, incense and tea, flower arrangement and painting have been known as the four great things of the literati.
"I haven't heard of the queen mother and the virtuous concubine making incense, what's the matter?"
"It's nothing, I just think that Concubine Xian Niangniang understands pharmacology, and it seems that Yu Xiangshi also has some opinions."
"I don't know about this, go back and ask the fourth." Li Yu seemed to have something to embarrass about, and hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Miss Zhang, what do you think of the prince?" β
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Bao Zhiluo thought about it, and this rebel also came to probe her tone, "I met it once before, gentle and elegant, and it makes people feel like a spring breeze when they talk." Baozhi suddenly remembered that night, the sound of Yin Measurement, and his scalp was a little numb.
"Would you like to marry him?" Li Yu asked urgently.
Baozhi was a little confused, blinking his big eyes: "Why do I want to marry the crown prince?" β
"You don't want to?" Li Zhen asked cautiously.
"I have no father and an orphan daughter, how can I climb to His Royal Highness the Prince. His Royal Highness, please don't make fun of Baozhi. "Do they want her to emulate Shih Tzu?
Li Jin was in a good mood, although he would not let her marry the imperial brother whether she wanted it or not, but he got a real answer from her, is there anything more exciting than this.
"Don't worry, I won't let you do what you don't like." Li Yu solemnly assured Baozhi.
Baozhi bowed her head and was silent, whenever she didn't know what to say, she would choose to be shy, which she learned from Jiying's cousin.
In Li Jin's eyes, even Baozhi seems to have some affection for himself.
