In the quiet room of the deep courtyard, the doors and windows are half-closed, and on the cold couch, Zhu Jingshen is alone, half-leaning and half-lying, holding an idle book in his hand, but he is just in a daze. A gust of cold wind hit, blowing the doors and windows crackling, and he didn't pay attention to it, just turned over, threw away the book, and continued to be in a daze.

The voice of someone talking gradually approached, slowly, and louder, and after a while it developed into an argument. During this time, the sharp voice made Zhu Jingshen have a headache. He originally just covered his ears to avoid it, but he couldn't avoid it, but there were more and more people arguing outside, and he even heard Qiu Tan's cry, so he couldn't help it anymore, turned over, and rushed out of the door: "Get out of the noisy people."

The people gathered at the gate of the courtyard were startled, and the Xia family immediately put away their fierce expressions, and gave a gift with tenderness: "Lord Shizi, the concubine heard that you didn't eat this morning, thinking that you must be hungry, I specially made a bowl of soup with my own hands and sent it for you to taste." She glanced at Qiu Tan: "It's just that this girl refuses to let the concubine enter the door, and she doesn't even want to pass the word, and she doesn't know what she thinks." ”

The maid beside her also chimed in: "Isn't it? Our lady didn't let Sister Qiu Tan do anything unruly, just asked her to pass a message into the house to let the master know, if the master didn't want to see our wife, the master would order, where would it be her turn to be the master? ”

Qiu Tan sniffed, and said with red eyes: "The prince has already commanded, no one is allowed to disturb, who is unruly if you want to break through now?" ”

Xia Shi glanced at her again, and was about to speak, but suddenly heard Zhu Jingshen say: "Now I know, you get out" Xia Shi couldn't help but be stunned: "Shizi Ye? ”

"Aren't you going to see me?" Zhu Jingshen said lazily, "But I don't want to see you, I don't want to see you in my life, so why don't you hurry up?" Didn't you hear me? ”

Xia Shi was stunned, stammered and said with a dry smile: "Master, the concubine is just here to bring you soup......

Zhu Jingshen rushed up in three steps and two steps, overturned the soup in the maid's hand, tilted his head to look at her, and smiled evilly: "The soup is gone, get out." But you said just now, if I don't want to see you, I'll tell you. Then I commanded, are you still disobedient? ”

Xia Shi was trembling all over, and secretly glared at the maid, there was anger in her eyes, and the maid was so frightened that she didn't dare to raise her head, and secretly regretted that she had said the wrong thing. Seeing this, Qiu Tan felt greatly relieved, and snorted at the maid: "The prince has spoken, why don't you leave?" Don't look at what kind of place this is, where is your turn to be a little girl? ”

Xia Shi took a deep breath and pretended to be calm: "Lord Shizi, the concubine was also given to you by the queen's mother, did you live up to the queen's kindness like this?" ”

"Then you can go and sue." Zhu Jingshen didn't care, "Go and tell the queen mother, I don't like you, I bullied you, go, go"

Xia's eyes were red, he raised his sleeves to cover his face and turned around and ran. She is just a strong inward, and now she, if she is not summoned by the palace, where will she have the face to enter the palace to see the queen?

Watching the backs of their masters and servants gradually disappear into the distance, Zhu Jingshen glanced at Qiu Tan: "Okay, don't cry, I've been by my side for so long, and I have to shed tears to deal with this kind of goods, which really makes me look down on me."

Qiu Tan pursed her mouth: "The family is the wife of the queen mother who personally rewarded the princess, where do the slaves dare to offend?" ”

Zhu Jingshen snorted coldly: "What lady?" It's just a concubine, who does she think she is? The order went down, and in the future, the house will call Aunt Xia so when she goes out, and don't give her face in front of her mother's family, and she will climb up alive and dead, shameless...... "He snorted and called Qiu Tan: "Have you heard?" ”

Qiu Tan nodded, and Zhu Jingshen immediately sank his face: "Let's go into the house and talk." ”

When the master and servant entered the house, they didn't find that the master and servant of the Xia clan who had run away before had returned, standing in the flowers not far from the courtyard, with a face full of resentment.

The maid said: "Don't worry, madam, the prince is just being detained in the house these days and being in a bad mood, so he will be angry with his wife, and when the days go by, he will naturally find out the benefits of his wife." ”

Xia Shi sighed and said with a lonely face: "Actually, I also know that I am just an ordinary palace person, and I was sent to the East Palace to wait, and I had a relationship with him for no reason, so tired that he was charged with molesting the prince, and he had a bad relationship with His Royal Highness the Prince, and it was normal for him to be annoyed with me." It's just that I'm already his person in name now, good and bad are one with him, and he still treats me like this, I'm nothing, but if it reaches the ears of the queen, won't it make the mother angry? ”

The maid hurriedly said: "Madame, don't be discouraged, the queen has made an order, and you are just acting according to the order, how can the prince blame you?" According to the slave maid, the prince may not be uninterested in his wife, otherwise he would not be close to his wife that day. ”

Xia laughed dryly twice, and looked at the courtyard again: "It doesn't matter how many grievances I suffer, I'm just worried that the prince will make that Qiu Tan girl tired." That girl relied on the favor of the lord, so she didn't take me in her eyes, in case there was a villain chewing her tongue behind her back, saying that this was the princess ignoring the queen's will, how could it be good? Now there are people sent by the palace outside the palace gate, if they know about the affairs of the palace and pass it back to the palace, won't they cause trouble for the prince again? ”

The maid was immediately indignant: "It's just that the slave maid has never seen such an arrogant girl, you must know that you are given to the prince by the queen's mother, even if it is the lady who is marrying the Ming media in the future, she will leave you three points of thin face, but she is so rude, isn't she just waiting in front of the master for a few more years?" Madame must teach her a good lesson."

Xia's face sank, and he said a little uncomfortably: "It's okay to be idle and don't fight, I still want to think of ideas, and see how I can make my master stop annoying me." ”

The maid nodded hurriedly: "Madame is right, or ...... Called the manager to ask? She looked at Xia, and a gleam quickly flashed in her eyes, "I heard that the head of the mansion is an old man who served beside the prince when he was in King Kang's mansion in the past, and the prince has always been extremely trusting. Now that Mrs. wants to win the blue eyes of the prince, why don't you ask, what does the prince want to do most now, and see if she can help? ”

Xia hesitated a little: "This ...... Isn't that right? In case the prince misunderstands that I am inquiring about him......"

The maid smiled and said, "Shizi is your husband, isn't it normal for you to see that he has been troubled recently and want to care about him?" The Steward will understand. If you shouldn't say something, he won't tell you? You also said just now, you are already a member of the world, good and bad are one, if you want to share his worries, isn't it also for his good? Even if it doesn't work out, it can make the prince and the people in the house understand Madame's hard work."

Xia pursed his lips and nodded slowly.

Zhu Jingshen didn't know that not far from the gate of the courtyard, there was a pair of master and servant who were calculating him, he just asked Qiu Tan about the latest news: "So, did Wang Yongtai really pick people up?" Hmph, I know that this guy is dishonest, sooner or later the demon moth was still secretive, but now he has no scruples, so he unscrupulously shows his feet" and asked: "Who did he collude with?" At this time, the wind in Beijing was tight, where could he find a reliable ship to go south? ”

Qiu Tan shook his head: "This is not clear, it should have something to do with the army, probably the people arranged by the two royal mansions." Lord Shizi, what should I do now? The little boy is gone, and the other day, you were caught when you went to see those people......" she looked at him worriedly, "what are we going to do next?" ”

Zhu Jingshen sat down on the couch and smiled helplessly: "What else can I do?" This is someone else dug a pit, waiting for me to jump into it is I am too naïve, I used to think that I can give up the prince, I can exchange for freedom, and I can get the appreciation of the prince, in the future, the sea and the sky, some are the result of a good life...... A little credit is nothing, the prince is not a soft-hearted man, and he does not keep useless people under his command. But what can I do? But if I can do something, he will be wary of me, isn't it all his fault? As long as others are more useful to him, even if he knows that those people have a grudge against me, he will still use it, if I pretend to be fine, more people will step on me tomorrow, I want to complain, he will casually comfort me as if I am a child, when can I be serious when I am a person? ”

Qiu Tan comforted him with tears in her eyes: "Don't be sad, this is only temporary, it will get better......"

Zhu Jingshen shook his head: "Then when do I have to wait?" I can't wait, now any one person can calculate me, no one will pay attention to what I want to say, I can't do whatever I want......" he bit his lip, "If it weren't for that...... his eyes gradually became angry.

Qiu Tan hesitated for a while, and finally asked in a trembling voice: "Lord Shizi, except for ...... Is there no other way to do that? You...... You're all detained in the house now, do you want to ...... Admit your mistake...... Ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to spare you? Even if he is a knight, although he is hateful, he used to be okay with you......"

Zhu Jingshen raised his eyes and glanced at her: "I know in my heart that things are not so cheap, and those who do big things are the most taboo and wavering, since I have already made up my mind and met with people again, if I want to regret it again, what should the old people in the palace do?" They're all in the hands of the other two, and without them, I'm still the down-and-out prince who can't do anything, even worse than I used to be—because I've lost even my men."

"But Wang Yongtai has already taken the little boy away" Qiu Tan knelt down in front of him with a plop, "Lord Shizi, they left you and left, my mother said, they are going to change the little boy to the master." So what do you do? You are now left alone in the capital, except for a few of us by your side, there is no other manpower, and the inside and outside of this house are all sent from the palace. If there's a real commotion on their side, you're in the capital...... Where is the life? ”

Zhu Jingshen turned his gaze away: "Even so, I don't have a second way." Do you think this news can be kept secret from the palace? I'm afraid that the prince already knows about this time, so I'll lean over again...... It's just a lost dog, and I don't have to lose the face of my ancestors."

"The ...... of the Prince"

"You don't have to say it anymore" Zhu Jingshen lay down on the couch and turned his back, "If the palace really gives me an edict, I will accept it calmly." I'm a person who doesn't have a father, a mother, and an unlikable person, so if you die, you'll die."

Qiu Tan lowered her head and sobbed quietly.

At this moment, on the Huai River, hundreds of miles away, Wen Yi and Liu Dongxing were enjoying the scenery outside the window in the cabin, watching and talking.

Liu Dongxing said: "That's what Brother An said, when we get to Dongping and want to change the big ship, we can send someone back to inquire and see how it will be judged later." I estimate that my life will not be in serious trouble, but my reputation is a little risky. ”

Wen Yi sighed: "This can be regarded as retribution, the second uncle thinks about how to make a fortune all day long, and he is about to go crazy, and he doesn't care about any flesh and blood affection." If you really lose your fame, you will stop it. He has no hope of becoming an official, and he must be able to have fewer things in the future. It's just that I pity my tenth sister, she hasn't married yet, and she vows to be affected in the future. ”

Liu Dongxing smiled: "This is not necessarily, but I think that your second uncle has lost his reputation, and your sister may be easier to set up a family affair."

Wen Yi was stunned: "What is the truth?" ”

"Have you forgotten about Lianfeng?" Liu Dongxing blinked, "Didn't you tell your second aunt about his family before?" Your second aunt is willing, but your aunt and second uncle are too high in their hearts and refuse to compromise, aren't they? To tell you the truth, I also mentioned this to Lian Feng. He is a very neat person, if he has the heart to get married, when your second uncle's verdict comes, he may immediately go to propose. When the time comes, your second uncle will be white, and if he can marry his concubine to a high-grade military attaché, he will burn high incense in his previous life, so what reason is there for refusing? ”

Wen Yi was dumbfounded, Wen Juan's family affairs had not been decided for a long time, it was indeed because her father's heart was too high, but she still couldn't let go: "Will that Xiaolian general really go?" He never saw my tenth sister. ”

"That's right." Liu Dongxing nodded, "So I just said that it is possible." Even if he doesn't have the heart, it doesn't matter. Look lower, some are good people, even if you can't find them in Beijing, it's the same if you go back to Pingyang to find them, besides, aren't there still a lot of moves in the Shilang Mansion? Although not all of them may be good, they are still passable in learning, and the future will not be too bad. ”

Wen Yi glanced at him with disgust: "Where is such a person worthy of my tenth sister?" After thinking about it, "If they really want to go back to Pingyang, I will think about it again and see if I can find a good one for my tenth sister." Anyway, if I want to be a matchmaker, it's better than my second aunt. ”

Liu Dongxing raised his eyebrows: "It's amazing, now our Liu Gong people are also magnificent, and their words really have weight."

Wen Yi couldn't help laughing and slapped him: "You actually made fun of me, my decency, isn't it all from you?" ”

"Yes, yes, let's be decent together as husband and wife" Liu Dongxing hugged Wen Yi, hugged her and shook her gently, looking at the green mountains and green waters outside, "Good lady, I am so happy in my heart, it turns out that a good scenery will really make people feel happy, even if it is to say something ordinary, as long as it is with you, I think it is interesting." ”

Wen Yi's face flushed slightly, and hesitantly, he held his hand back and smiled at the scenery outside the window.
