Forty-two, the slanting sun is rising and springless

It was night, and the crow flew restlessly through the window sky, and the caller was very upset.

"Hua Zhu, did you say that my brother would help Hongu?" Song Yesheng put on a nail cover painted with pure gold on the one hand, and asked the maid behind him casually.

Song Yesheng has put everything on the prince, the prince gave birth to her, and the prince died and she died. Knowing the prince's heavy color, she personally selected twelve stunning dancing girls to present to the prince to ensure that she was invincible in this mansion.

It's just that once the queen dies, it is difficult to ensure that the other two princes do not covet that position. She couldn't help but plan for herself and the crown prince.

A few days ago, the general envoy of the three capitals in the northwest sent people to visit, implying that he wanted to support the prince's party and help the prince ascend the throne.

At the beginning of the second prince's entry into Beijing, Song Yesheng secretly bought a killer to take the life of the second prince. Originally, she just wanted to get rid of the second prince, but she didn't want to involve the Song family, so this time she Song Yesheng would not let things go wrong.

The maid named Hua Zhu glanced at Song Yesheng quickly, then lowered her head and replied respectfully, "The Prime Minister will definitely help the crown princess." On closer inspection, the maid's fingertips trembled slightly, revealing her true emotions.

Song Yesheng was noncommittal to her answer, "What else did you hear from her?" Song Yesheng looked at the nail covers he had already put on with satisfaction, admired his slender jade fingers, and continued to ask.

"Prince Qiuci and Lu Guogong's son, Lu Fengyu, have come to the mansion several times to find her, and Prince Qiuci seems to be interested in marrying Princess Changning." Hua Zhu thought about it carefully and finally came to this conclusion.

"Prince Qiuzi wants to marry her?" Hua Zhu's answer made Song Yesheng laugh more than once, Song Yesheng slowly walked in front of Hua Zhu, patted Hua Zhu's face, and sneered, "Hua Zhu, you really don't know men so well." ”

Song Yesheng's hand wearing a nail cover scraped a few red marks on Hua Zhu's originally smooth face, but Hua Zhu didn't even dare to say a word, and stood there at the mercy of Song Yesheng.

"It's not her that Prince Qiuzi wants to marry, but Princess Nanxiang." Hua Zhu didn't understand the difference between the two. Yiyou is the princess of Changning of Nanxiang, and Princess Changning is Yiyou.

Song Yesheng raised his eyebrows to look at Hua Zhu and said with a smile, "If you are the princess of Nanxiang, then you are the person Prince Qiuzi wants to marry." Hua Zhu's face flushed, and she lowered her head and refused to look at Song Yesheng.

Song Yesheng looked at Hua Zhu's demeanor funny, and glanced at Hua Zhu with contempt. Mockingly, "However, I advise you to weigh your own weight and stop daydreaming." ”

Hua Zhu's pretty face turned white, and the girl's delicate color faded instantly. He bowed his head and replied in a deep voice. "Yes." Xia Yi has been doing it for a long time, and he almost forgot that he was Huazhu. Hua Zhu lowered her eyes and took away her heavy thoughts.

"Is the prince back?" Song Yesheng didn't notice Hua Zhu's careful thoughts, compared them for a long time, and then took off the brilliant and dazzling gold armor set.

"Not yet." Hua Zhu took the jewelry box and carefully put away Song Yesheng's faded nail covers.

"Hmm." Song Yesheng didn't care, anyway, the prince didn't have a side concubine, and no matter how many women the prince had outside, he wouldn't stand in her way. She has the final say in everything in the house, the Song family will not fall for a day, and the prince will always give her some thin noodles.

Song Yesheng got up lazily, cleaned his hands, and half-lay on the soft couch, fanning the painted beauty group fan for a while, and raised his hand lightly, "Let the kitchen prepare good wine and food tonight, and the palace has something to discuss with the prince." ”

It's time to mention the alliance with the governor of the three capitals in the northwest. The Song family can't afford to wait now, if it goes on like this, it won't be long before the Song family will be defeated by the Lu family sooner or later.

The emperor's body saw that the day was not as good as the day, and the emperor mentioned the matter of the Lu and Song families and the two princes again, and asked about the progress. "Have you figured everything out?"

Nangong Chen and Ren Jinye exchanged glances, and they all bowed down. Nangong Chen said, "This matter has already come to an end." ”

"The result?" The emperor's attitude is not very anxious, he has been fighting with Lu Fangyuan for more than 20 years, how can he not know that Lu Fangyuan is not easy to get along.

"This time the matter was all handled by the Thousand Beasts." Nangong Chen paused, "It's just that this kind of Jianghu organization has always only taken money to do things, and they don't know who is behind it." So......" Nangong Chen did not continue.

So all of this can only become a headless case. They have no direct evidence against the killers. Nangong Chen gritted his teeth, he would never give up on this matter.

Whether it is the Song family or the Lu family, as long as he knows who killed his mother, he will never spare it!

Nangong Chen's words undoubtedly show that the Song family and the Lu family are safe for the time being. There was an uproar in the court, and the Song family breathed a sigh of relief and even more resentment towards Lu Fangyuan.

Although the emperor was dissatisfied with such a result, he also knew that someone was deliberately manipulating behind his back. Even if he was dissatisfied, he knew that he would not be able to find anything if he continued to investigate deeply, so he had no choice but to turn the page on it.

Since he was wronged first, the emperor naturally appeased the two families with affection and reason. For the Song family, it's okay to say, reward some gold and silver treasures, and the fertile land is ten thousand acres.

It's just that this Lu family, Lu Fangyuan is already in a high position in the country, under one person, above ten thousand, there is really no way to enter. This father-in-law Ma is also a good person, and he also knows how to share the emperor's worries at critical moments.

Gonggong Ma leaned close to the emperor's ear and suggested: "Since Lu Guogong has no way to enter, it is better to distribute the reward to the son of the Lu family and Lu Guifei's mother." ”

The emperor nodded approvingly, and before he could reward the Lu family, he heard the people of the first palace rush to report. After hearing this, Gonggong Ma smiled and leaned into the emperor's ear, "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, Imperial Doctor Xue has good news, and Concubine Lu is happy." ”

Since the death of the queen, the palaces have stopped taking the soup to avoid children, and it is reasonable for Lu Guifei to be pregnant at this time. It's just that no matter how coincidental the time is, the emperor turned a deaf ear to it, and only added Lu Fengyu's hereditary title of Lu Fangyuan, and the shadow seal was richly rewarded.

An old minister came out and suggested, "The country cannot be without a queen, the harem cannot be without an owner for a day, and now the queen's position is still vacant, and Lu Guifei is pregnant, it is better to canonize Lu Guifei as the queen and celebrate the whole country." ”

After speaking, there was a chorus in the hall. The emperor did not see the slightest reaction, and the voice of echoing became smaller and smaller, until the bird was silent.

The emperor pondered for a moment, "From now on, Concubine Lu will temporarily take the position of queen, and Lan Guiren will assist her in managing the six palaces." ”

Although the emperor agreed to let Lu Guifei sit on the throne of the queen, he was not at ease to hand over the harem to Lu Guifei alone.

Promoting and suppressing at the same time is the emperor's usual trick. But this does not prevent the Lu family from being in the limelight for a while and envying others.

Xu is emperor is lack of mental strength, so the sealing ceremony is very simple, just handing over the phoenix seal in charge of the harem to Lu Guifei, who moved to Xining Palace.

Nangong Chen sat alone under the bauhinia trellis in the Langwu Garden, and he didn't even notice that someone was coming behind him.

The man stood behind him for a long time, and finally couldn't help but speak, "Third Prince." Nangong Chen looked back at the people who came and put on his usual warm smile.

"It turned out to be you." Nangong Chen smiled and got up to greet him.

The girl in front of her was wearing a plain gauze white dress, with an azure belt tied around her waist, and her waist became more and more slender. There is an elegant beaded silk flower on the waterfall inky bun, and a simple dulcimer is still held in his arms.

"Hmm." Luo Qingzi bowed his head, but his earlobes were slightly red. After the former queen passed away, she wanted to enter the palace to see Nangong Chen, but she couldn't find a chance.

Today, the Lu family celebrated, and the father-in-law in the palace specially invited her to play the dulcimer for Queen Lu, and she found an opportunity to enter the palace to see Nangong Chen.

"Thank you to the three princes that day." Luo Qingzi looked at him with a smile, "The folk girl has nothing to repay, but she is willing to play a song to dispel the sorrow in the hearts of the three princes." I hope that the third prince will not be disgusted. ”

"Well, that's where Miss Laulo comes in." Nangong Chen took the piano for her and placed it on the stone table on the side for Luo Qingzi to play.

"The Three Princes...... Just call me clear. Luo Qingzi's eyes fell on Nangong Chen, without the slightest intention of retreating, just waiting for him to answer.

"Okay." Nangong Chen nodded, Luo Qingzi's dulcimer played excellently, impeccable, and it was as clear as if it were a fairy music. The sound of music is clear, such as ice and jade striking each other, pearls and pearls are connected, and like rain hitting residual lotuses, warblers cry tactfully.

Nangong Chen stared at Luo Qingzi, who was concentrating on playing, she was the same as the women he knew before, but they all seemed to be different.

Luo Qingzi is like a weak silk flower, beside her, he will feel that he is strong, can be relied on, and is needed.

The matter of the second brother and the matter of the queen mother made him feel gloomy during this time, but it was difficult to say it to others.

The eldest brother's wanton domineering, the second brother's menacing, and the father's declining days, mixed with his desire to govern the world, everything couldn't be worse.

He needs this moment of peace, he needs to block out the distractions of the outside world, he needs a confidant who knows him and understands him. And this confidant is slowly overlapping with Luo Qingzi's figure and merging into one person.

Luo Qingzi looked at Nangong Chen's eyes, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice, it was successful! This trip to the palace was not in vain.

The sound of the piano attracted the palace people to stop and listen, and it was full of people after a while. Luo Qingzi looked at Nangong Chen's opinion and asked Nangong Chen for her opinion, and Nangong Chen signaled that it was okay and asked her to continue.

Song Yesheng came out of the new queen, passed by here, and when he saw the palace people gathering, he couldn't help frowning, and said to the attendants beside him: "What's the matter?" Don't check it out yet. ”

Listening to the soft sound of the piano, Song Yesheng was not in a good mood at all, and his eyes gradually condensed on one person. Looking at the back, she also knew who it was.

After the attendant inquired clearly, he trotted all the way back, and came back panting to report, "Back to the crown princess, it is Luo Qingzi, the daughter of Luo Shangshu, who plays the dulcimer here." ”

Song Yesheng snorted coldly disdainfully, "Who should I be." "What kind of place is this, how can she be allowed to make such a fool of herself and drive people away from me?" ”

The little eunuch had to squeeze into the crowd again to convey the will of the crown princess to the beautiful woman in white.

The crowd automatically gave way to a way, "If this prince is not mistaken, this is the place of this prince." Sister-in-law, don't come unharmed. Nangong Chenting walked leisurely in front of Song Yesheng.
