Chapter 14: The Prince's Design

Xu Sheng neatly guarded the quilt sprinkled on the porridge and put it on the ground. Thinking about helping Si Koulin take off the wet clothes that were sprinkled with porridge water outside.

Si Koulin resistantly twisted his body, not wanting Xu Sheng to touch him.

"Hurry up, or you will catch a serious illness and you can't afford it." Cold and serious with a suppressive commanding tone.

Si Koulin was obedient, and took off the clothes that were sprinkled with porridge outside with Xu Sheng's help. Fortunately, it was cold in winter, so I wore three layers inside and three layers outside. The clothes inside are not wet.

It just so happened that Steward Li brought someone to deliver the clothes in time. A group of servants immediately surrounded him, and before Si Koulin had time to express his willingness to resist, the servants helped Si Koulin get dressed neatly. Quickly change the bedding on the bed.

Xu Sheng stuffed Si Koulin into the quilt with another backhand and covered it tightly.

In just a moment's effort, Steward Li retreated with his subordinates.

Xu Sheng looked at the child who was being lifted like a rabbit on the bed, felt a little happy, and asked, "What do you want to eat?" ”

Si Koulin secretly slipped his eyes around Table Mountain's food, but did not answer. If they can arrange everything, why ask themselves?

"Bird's nest porridge?" Xu Sheng said patiently, "Yam porridge? Celery porridge? Xu Sheng saw that following his words, his eyes fell on the celery porridge and stayed for a moment. Longan porridge? His gaze fell back on the futon in front of him.

Still silent. With his head buried, his long hair is scattered to cover everything.

Xu Sheng brought the celery porridge to the young man, "Eat it yourself or will I feed you?" ”

Si Koulin looked at the celery porridge brought to him and pouted slightly, hesitated and just wanted to stretch out his hand, but was lightly separated by Xu Sheng's strong hand. Xu Sheng sat down, scooped a spoonful of porridge, and handed it to Si Koulin in an unfamiliar manner, a little far away, Si Koulin had to lean forward and stretch his neck to open his mouth to reach the spoon.

Xu Sheng looked at the young man, hesitated, like a little giraffe, stretched his neck, reached the food in the spoon, and quickly returned to his original position, keeping his head down from beginning to end, but from his stiff posture, it could be seen that he was very uncomfortable, even very nervous.

Obviously he is already a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, but he is always as primitive and transparent as a child, even like an animal. I remember that when I was fifteen or sixteen years old, I had already learned to forbear and be silent, and at the age of sixteen, I had already gone to the battlefield on the frontier.

People are so different from each other, and he has reached such a situation, doesn't he have some evil thoughts in his head? I don't believe it, so well-behaved and incompetent, I'm afraid it's just the surface.

After Xu Sheng fed Si Koulin porridge, he ordered someone to withdraw the rest of the food. The doctor was called, and the diagnosis was fine.

The next person sent the medicine, and after Xu Sheng stared at him and drank it, everything was arranged. before going back to rest.

Si Koulin is more and more unaware of this dignified frontier general, the third prince of Haoyuan Kingdom. A month ago, on the way to pick up and drop-off, I took good care of myself, but I went to the court again and didn't say a word about where I was going. I thought he didn't care about himself as an enemy proton for a long time. After ignoring it for a month, although it was because of his own falling into the water, the emperor ordered him to be sent here. But it's like this, and he takes care of himself.

It's not like arranging a remote courtyard in the Queen Mother's Palace, with a few servants, and even deliberately making things difficult for yourself. It's only been a month, but it feels like a long time has passed.

I believe that no one is useful, and I am just a pawn that is arranged at random. No expectations, so no disappointment.

Si Koulin was recuperating in Xu Sheng's mansion, obviously a young man, but he did not have the slightest youthful heart. Always on the bed, I don't like to go out. Always buried his head, looking haggard and sick, and not easy to speak.

The servants and maidservants in his room were the most idle, and often did not receive a single order for a day.

Xu Sheng had just returned to Beijing, and he had the appearance of an idle prince, but he was secretly busy with many affairs and arrangements. I came to see it every day, but I didn't stay for long.

In the past ten days and a half months, the prince has not been idle. After the proton fell into the water, I felt very unhappy. I even thought that I must trample Xu Yanzhuo under my feet. In the past two days, I have been sending a message to Mrs. Wen, and I have made a good calculation.

I want to go to the princess's daughter to be my own crown princess. In this way, he not only won over the world's Confucian Wen Taifu, but also let him stand in his own door. In this way, his proud protΓ©gΓ© will inevitably be on his side. Why worry that this Qi Wenxiu does not work for himself.

It's just that I didn't expect that this Wen Taifu's daughter was reluctant to agree. Wen Taifu didn't say anything. Taking advantage of the fact that her daughter has just reached the end of her life, she is still a little younger, and she wants to use it as an excuse to talk about it later, so she repeatedly shirks it. And he has a heart to ask for it, and he can't use toughness.

The strategists at the bottom came up with a method of cooking raw rice and ripe rice, although the method is a little older, but it can achieve the goal.

On the queen's birthday, I had no intention of handling it, but because of the prince's persuasion, I invited some of the daughters of the big officials and their daughters in the boudoir, and the sons of those young and unmarried officials, to create opportunities for them and match them. If someone really becomes a good family, and the queen gives them a marriage, the two families will naturally get married, and the two families will also be on the side of the queen and the crown prince. There is also the matter of wanting to choose a side concubine for the prince, which has been undecided.

This time the operation was very grand, and many of the daughters of the family were ordered to come to the palace to participate in the garden banquet on the queen's birthday. There are also many children of the family who came to show their faces.

Prince Rui and Prince Tai'an were naturally also present. There is also the prince accompanying the queen, sweeping away the previous haze, and it looks like a spring breeze.

Wen Shuya, the daughter of the Wen Taifu family who had just arrived at the school, also came. Last time, the crown prince and the prince went to congratulate him, and he was praised by the prince for his reputation as the first beauty in Kyoto. It has to be talked about by everyone now.

Xu Yanzhuo took a closer look at Wen Shuya, who was accompanied by a kind of female dependent, and there was nothing wrong with it. I wondered in my heart, what would happen to Qi Wenxiu's daughter today?

Everyone sat down, and the emperor came with the queen's money, and the emperor was respected and powerful. Young men and women were mindful of their youth, and they were also intimidated by the royal majesty, and many of them had never entered the palace before, and this was the first time they had seen the emperor and queen. is honestly afraid, and they are all youthful, lacking the cunning and roundness of the old men in the palace officialdom.

After three banquets, the emperor has to deal with political affairs, and the queen takes everyone to visit the imperial garden.

Everyone whispered softly, in groups of three or two, following behind the queen, slowly visiting the place where the most noble people in the world lived in the center of the world's power and the most noble people in the world.

When he was enjoying the garden, Xu Sheng found that Wen Shuya was gone. After careful consideration, and the news reported by the spies in the past few days, I am afraid that today's matter will not be so simple. Isn't it the prince who will set up again?

Looking closely, the prince who originally followed the queen and accompanied him to the garden has long since disappeared.

After Xu Sheng quietly retreated from the crowd, he returned the same way, but did not see any useful news. When he arrived at the secluded path of the palace, a small eunuch hurriedly bumped into Xu Sheng and hurriedly knelt down to make amends. Xu Sheng helped him up and left.

I saw that the little eunuch who left in a hurry covertly rolled up a small note from his hand, and there were only four small words on it: "The Prince's Whereabouts". The little prince casually wiped his mouth and swallowed the small note.

However, in just a moment, Xu Sheng hurriedly passed by a little palace maid carrying a dinner plate.

The little palace maid hurriedly bowed down and stepped aside, letting the prince pass first.

Xu Sheng walked past the little palace maid, hurriedly glanced at the dinner plate, and then raised his feet and walked towards the Taiji Palace.

The utensils on the dinner plate of the little palace maid are the cups dedicated to the Taiji Hall and have yin and yang Taiji patterns. On top of that, the lid of that cup is staggered.

Xu Sheng quickly found the Taiji Palace, and sure enough, he saw that few people come here on weekdays, but today there are actually people guarding outside.

Xu Sheng wanted to enter under the pretext of taking the Taiji flag to cheer up the queen. But he was stopped by the guards outside.

"Presumptuous, can't this king even enter a mere Taiji Palace?" Xu Sheng shouted.

"Please also ask the prince to leave as soon as possible." The guards did not retreat. "Don't be embarrassed. It's never too late to take the Tai Chi flag after it's over. ”

"Presumptuous, can you be a dog slave if it's too late?" Xu Sheng looked stern and anxious. But with deep internal strength, I heard a faint voice of a woman asking for help inside. Xu Haoqiong would actually use these indiscriminate methods. This one time alone is enough for him to be ruined. It's just that as soon as possible, if Shu Ya is really defiled by him, Taifu will not be able to explain anywhere.

Xu Sheng wanted to make a big deal out of it, but he was always stopped by a group of small guards. There is no way to do it.

"Presumptuous!" Xu Yanzhuo, who was dressed in a purple dress, stepped forward, "My third brother and I are going to enter the Taiji Palace, who dares to stop the dog slave?" ”

"This, Lord Rui." The commander of the guards was embarrassed, "Lord Rui, don't be embarrassed. This allows people to enter, and it is difficult to protect the lives of small ones. ”

"Hmph, no need to say more." Xu Yan Zhuo was too ready to break inside. But he was still stopped by the guards.

Xu Yanzhuo stretched out his hand and pulled out a guard's saber and stabbed it into the guard's lower abdomen. The white knife comes in, the red knife comes out, clean and neat. There was fierceness between the bright eyebrows, "Who else dares to stop this king?" ”

Only then did the guards slowly retreat, and they all understood that if they died, they would die in vain.

Xu Yanzhuo threw down the blood-stained saber, retreated in an instant, and his handsome face was full of bright colors, and he turned around and walked towards the Taiji Palace.

Xu Sheng, who was following behind Xu Yanzhuo, looked at the purple figure and smiled meaninglessly. It seems that it is not easy for him to find this place. It was unexpected.

The two entered the Taiji Hall and broke in. Seeing that the prince was facing Wen Shuya, his clothes had already retreated halfway, revealing round fragrant shoulders and pure white underwear.

Wen Shuya struggled desperately, but her hands and feet were weak. I think I was drugged.

The prince raised his eyes and saw the two people who broke in, and he knew that something was wrong.
