Whether it was Aunt Yun and Aunt Liu, who had received the information in advance, or Yang Jin, Zhou Chenlan, who was caught off guard by the emperor's sudden arrival, they didn't expect that the emperor would not simply stay for a while and go back, but said that he would simply finish dinner and leave. Although Lin Changhui, the founding ancestor of this dynasty, is often fortunate to be in the family of his subordinates, and the kings of previous dynasties have often used this hand to show their favor, but when it is really their turn, they are still in a hurry, not to mention that among the only three masters in the family, two have not completely recovered from that fright.

Moreover, if this diet and so on go wrong, who will be responsible?

Fortunately, Gonggong Fang, who accompanied him, sent two chamberlains to the kitchen to keep an eye on, and Aunt Yun also followed to help, although Yang Jinzhou felt that this was still inappropriate, and after persuading him to no avail, he could only give up in despair. What made him even more dumbfounded was that the emperor actually sent him out, leaving only Aunt Liu to accompany him in the house, and he didn't know what to say to Chen Lan. He waited outside until he was about to go crazy before he saw the two of them come out, but he saw that the emperor in front of him was as usual, but Aunt Liu was quietly wiping the corners of her eyes, and the uneasiness in her heart was even stronger at this moment, and she couldn't go to his wife to inquire about it!

And that's not to mention eating. Although the subordinates only said that the Son of Heaven sent a close county king to visit, he didn't dare to hide it from his mother after all, so he went to his mother Jiang to find out. But after the Jiang family came over to salute, he was undoubtedly pushed back to rest by the emperor. And Chen Lan was also ordered to recuperate in bed, and left behind bird's nest, poria cocos, frost, rose dew and other gifts as if he didn't want money, and he could only accompany the emperor outside blankly and carefully.

And at this moment, Chen Yan and Luo Xu actually killed together, this is really messy............

In the west room, when he thought that the Son of Heaven was in the east wing room separated by a wall, Chen Lan felt a little headache. However, the emperor's heartfelt words still seemed to echo in her mind, which made her a little more warm while worried.

Whether in her past life or in this life, her memory of her father is extremely weak. In the previous life, "because the man didn't want to take responsibility, he left his seriously ill brother and her and her mother and disappeared without a trace, so that the mother couldn't bear the blow and suffered a car accident in a trance; In this life, the titular father also turned his back on his grandmother Zhu's years of upbringing in just a few words, and died early in self-abandonment, and his mother became seriously ill because of this, and finally left her and Chen Yan, two siblings, to die alone in this high-walled compound.

What is mother's love, she once felt at a loss, but it wasn't until her grandmother Zhu changed her mind, until the county lord of Yixing recognized her as her goddaughter, and until Mrs. Du's Wei cared for her kindly, she finally made up for the shortcomings of more than 20 years; But what is father's love, she has almost never tasted it, but she didn't expect that today, a person who never expected "actually made her taste this feeling............

"Madame!"

Chen Lan raised her head when she heard the sound, and saw Aunt Liu rushing in with a windy breeze at her feet, her face was a little strange, and she suddenly showed an inquiring expression. Sure enough, Aunt Liu didn't have any intention of selling off, she rushed forward in three or two steps and got on the pedal in front of the bed, and then knelt down on one knee and a half: "Madam, the fourth young master and Luo Shizi are here together!" ”

"Fourth brother" and Luo Shizi? Chen Lan was surprised when she heard this, thinking of Chen Yan's usual fiery personality and today's Mu Zhimu Jue, she couldn't help but gently tap her forehead, and then asked, "Then where are the two of you at this time?" ”

"The emperor has decreed" and summoned them here. ”

At this moment, Chen Lan was stunned for a moment. Thinking about it, she could only conclude in the end that it was the Zhu family who deliberately concealed Chen Yan, so she let the little guy finish a day's class at Mr. Han's place, and as for rushing over at this time, "It's probably a good thing that Luo Xu did to report the news." It's just Luo Xu, after all, it is Wenyuan Pavilion walking, and it is common for the emperor's former ministers to be "But Chen Yan is only thirteen years old now, in case he says something nonsense in front of the emperor............

She suddenly lifted the brocade quilt and was about to stand up with her shoes, but her hands were just supporting the bed board, but she was suddenly held down. Aunt Gu Liu's face was full of disapproval, and she had to explain: "Uncle Quan is alone in front of the emperor, and Xiaosi is hot-tempered, I really don't let go ......of my "heart"

"Madam, have you forgotten what the emperor said just now?" Aunt Liu couldn't help but take Chen Lan to lie down on the bed again, covered him with the quilt again, and then said word by word, "This time it seems that you are just knocking on a little skin, but you have fainted for so long all of a sudden, which shows that your body is still weak on weekdays." It's okay to stay young for a few years or more than ten years, but who knows if it will fall into the root of the disease? Besides, the emperor can say this to you, this concern, this trust, there are still a few people in the palace and outside the palace, even if it is in your face, it will definitely be extra tolerant of the fourth young master, even if it is a little disrespectful, it doesn't matter. But you, if you go out with illness, the emperor will think that you are too protective of the fourth young master, how can the master not feel distressed? ”

Chen Lan can usually be eloquent, but under the persuasion of Aunt Liu's words, she only felt speechless, and nodded at the end: "I understand, this time I want to go wrong, it's all up to Aunt Liu." Only the emperor stays in our house, safety and so on are the most important, there is Aunt Lao...... Just "know and know, and Mrs. will put ten thousand hearts." Aunt Liu interrupted Chen Lan, so she simply served her to lie down, and carefully tucked the corners of the quilt, and then sat on the edge of the bed and said with a smile, "You sleep well, the slave and maid are guarding you next to here, lest you think crankily and even run out." The master is back, there are still me and Sister Yun inside and outside, and there are others who are on top of the sky when the sky falls, so you can take a break. Forgive the slave for saying a disrespectful word, you are good at everything, but this mind is too heavy. ”

The mind is too heavy...... "...... No, she still has so many thoughts in her heart at this time. The sky is falling, there is a tall man on top, this is a good thing, so many people are nested in her house right now...... Thinking of these, Chen Lan's eyelids gradually drooped.

In the eyes of Aunt Liu on the side, after a while, the breathing of the people next to her gradually became even, and a reassuring and sweet smile appeared on her face. She looked at it, and suddenly couldn't help but reach out and comb a strand of hair in Chen Lan's ear, and whispered softly in her mouth.

"Madam, don't go down the path of the queen again. The emperor used to be weak, and everything was discussed with the queen, so in the first few years of the hardest, the queen worked hard, plus there were several festivals and birthdays in the palace every year to deal with, and the body collapsed day by day. If it weren't for Update O, how could it have left so early? The emperor has been thinking in his heart, "I feel guilty when I think about it, otherwise, how could I say such a thing to you just now?" ”

Behind the battle in the east wing of the Pleasant Pavilion, a boxy table was being set up at this time. The emperor sat on the main seat, and Yang Jiaozhou, who was leaning on the side, sat on the left hand side, and on the other two sides that were just empty, there were also two people who did not look very good, and were obviously sitting on pins and needles.

Only compared to Luo Xu, Chen Yan's reaction was inevitably greater, when he had just met Xingyu, if he hadn't followed Han Mingyi to gain a lot of knowledge, he would have said the wrong thing with a blank head.

Fortunately, the emperor's eyes were still on Luo Xu at this time: "The cabinet said that you are busy now, you still have time to wander around?" But do you want me to tell the three elders that you will be burdened again? ”

Luo Xu was startled, and hurriedly straightened his back: "The emperor's ministers are rarely free to be on duty on time, so they went to Mr. Han because they got the news, and they didn't want Brother Chen to happen to be in the ......"

Before he finished speaking, Chen Yan, who was the most aggressive, didn't know where he got the courage, so he suddenly interjected: "Your Majesty, it's not about Senior Brother Luo, it's from Senior Brother Luo that I learned from Senior Brother Luo that my sister and Aunt Yang met a startled horse in the morning, and something almost happened" In a hurry, he pulled a horse and came out directly, and Senior Brother immediately chased after him when he saw this, it was all my fault "......"

"It's all your fault?" The emperor looked at Chen Yan with a smile, and saw that although he was trying to hold his head high, his oily forehead exposed everything, so the smile at the corner of his mouth couldn't help but deepen, "You always mess with Luo Xu, don't you know that someone has rumored that he once had an interest in your sister, so he is not afraid of causing any rumors?" ”

Luo Xu's face changed, and he was about to open his mouth to help turn around, but when he saw the emperor's warning eyes, he had to hold back. And Yang Jinzhou wanted to try to make a hint in his eyes, but he was not familiar with the tricks of eyebrows, so he saw that Chen Yan turned a blind eye to it, and only looked at himself and frowned, "He has to be secretly helpless." Chen Yan, who lowered his head and thought for a while, finally raised his head again, and said seriously: "Mao's poems have clouds, and they are clear and turbid. Mr. once taught that rumors stop at the wise. Zengzi's sage is still called a murderer, let alone others? As long as my sister and brother-in-law are loving and harmonious, why are you afraid of rumors? ”

Speaking of this, Chen Yan paused slightly, and then glanced at Luo Xu apologetically. This glance suddenly made Luo Xu's face change drastically, and before he wanted to open his mouth, he was grabbed by Chen Yan.

"Moreover, Senior Brother Luo was given the emperor's marriage to Zhang Ge's hometown, but anyone who does not have ulterior motives will never listen to such rumors. Besides, Senior Brother Luo is still quietly helping Miss Zhang solve a big trouble in such a busy situation now, and when he gets married in the future, he will definitely love him in the future, those rumors are like rootless Ping, nothing more than slandering people! ”

The scriptures were quoted in the front, but at this time, the cunning nature of the little guy was revealed, and Luo Xu was angry for a while, and even Yang Jinzhou was unlucky. Before the two men could say anything, the Emperor stretched out his hand to stop them.

"I just want to hear what he has to say, you two don't panic. Also, don't mention it again if you persuade me to return to the palace. I said that I would leave after dinner, that is, after dinner, I would like to see which cow, ghost, snake and god dare to plan the plate! By the way, the Hou Shizi of Zhendong who threw a lasso on Xuanwumen Street to lasso the startled horse, have you three seen it before? ”

Faced with this title, Yang Jinzhou and Luo Xu exchanged glances, while Chen Yan frowned and thought about it there. In the end, the three of them shook their heads at the same time, and as a result, Luo Xu was the first to be blinded by the emperor.

"That's your neighbor, who has lived next door to your house for almost a month, and you don't even know it?"

The area near Shichahai is invaluable, in addition to the garden used by dignitaries to cool off, it is the Buddhist temple and Taoist temple that gives the land. After all, the Chu Dynasty is still the border pass of the town of the noble military generals, some need to leave their families in the capital, and some are the border of the town, until the eldest son reaches the age of sixteen, he will not be sent back to the capital to canonize the prince, so the huge mansion will often be empty for a while.

Among them, Zhendong Hou's mansion located in Yiningqiao is such a scene. For more than ten years, except for the Marquis of Zhendong, who was ordered to go to Beijing to report on his work and live here, there was only one old steward who took people to look at this old mansion the rest of the time. Fortunately, the repair and arrangement are all meticulous, and this time the eldest son Xiao Lang entered Beijing to canonize the prince, and it is cheap to live here. Only one side is a serpent-like servant, and the other side is a son who has just entered the capital from a slave, and they are inevitably a little unaccustomed to each other.

At this moment, the old housekeeper standing in front of the desk spoke bitterly, but Xiao Lang, who was sitting behind the desk, only cared about reading. The old steward said with a dry mouth, but he still did not move," and the old man put down the scroll in his hand for a long time and said, "You don't have to say any more." The magnates in and out of the capital hugged each other in front of the sedan chair, but in Nu'er Gancheng, I swam in the Hate Ancient River at the age of five, followed the adults to train horses at the age of ten, and hunted black bears and tigers in the forest at the age of fifteen! I know that the capital has the rules of the capital, but the Zhendong Hou has the rules of the Zhendong Hou! Those most ferocious birth girls are still not afraid, so why not be afraid of those who can only sneak around in the capital! ”

In the face of Xiao Lang's cold face, the old steward only felt that his braincase hurt, but he still had to persuade him: "Lord Shizi, the little one knows that you are brave, but here in the capital, "The fight is not to kill the bear with a horse, but to fight the heart, and the little one is only afraid that you will be calculated if you are not careful!" Take today, a noble person like the county lord of Haining will be frightened when he goes out to ride a car, and you don't take anyone out on weekdays, how can something happen if something happens? A few days ago, although His Royal Highness King Jing was ordered by the emperor to take you to see the scene of the capital, his table tennis was really bad, "It's not a hot stove prince, why don't you stay away," ......

"Steward Tang, you have exceeded the rules!"

Xiao Lang finally showed an impatient expression and stood up coldly: "Nu'er Gancheng has always been independent of the party struggle in the court, and I am the same!" As for what hot stove and cold stove, "I don't care at all, if you come or don't go, he told me early on that he has a bad reputation, and I just traveled with him to Huguo Temple and Bada, which is also worth talking about?" Go down, next time you talk about these trivial things, "Don't blame me for not caring about my feelings!" ”

When the old steward reluctantly retreated, Xiao Lang sat down, and threw the book in his hand aside with some restlessness. Almost instantly, without the slightest hesitation, he took out the noose in the blanket while slapping the horse and chasing after him, and threw the lasso when he leaped off the horse, and the result was as successful as the experience of catching and taming horses in the past, and successfully lassoed the left front leg. After the big man rushed out to help, he instinctively put his hand on the neck of the healthy horse foaming at the mouth, and as a result, he noticed an unusual pulsation.

And......... The person in the carriage turned out to be Chen Lan, the county lord of Haining who he had seen when he visited Huguo Temple with King Jing last time!

"Shiziye, Shiziye!"

Hearing the voice outside the door, Xiao Lang suddenly came back to his senses. He was a little annoyed when his train of thought was interrupted, and his voice was naturally more cold than usual: "What's the matter!" ”

The man outside the door seemed to be frightened, and after a while he whispered: "Lord Shizi, His Royal Highness King Jing ordered someone to send a letter, should it be presented or returned......

Since he and King Jing walked around twice, not only Tang was in charge, but even several guards who came with him on his father's orders, as well as two scholars who were recommended to enter the country's eunuch, they were also carefully reminded several times, Xiao Lang only felt as annoyed as he wanted. At this time, when he heard that the person outside the door actually said directly what to submit or retreat, he was immediately furious, and immediately shouted: "The letter of the prince of the dignified palace, you dare to be so lazy? Come in! ”

Suddenly, as soon as this year, the light little girl entered the house in a panic, presented a letter with both hands, and when he wanted to say something more, he met the pair of eyes that were colder than ice and snow, and for a while he only felt as if a bucket of ice water was poured down in his face, and he hurriedly slipped out. Xiao Lang, on the other hand, stared at the familiar flowing characters on the envelope, and squinted his eyes before opening.

"Xiao Beijunjian." Seeing the short four words, Xiao Lang immediately had the urge to get angry, and his lips were pursed tightly for a while. Well, thinking that the person was not in front of him, and it was useless to scold, he had to snort angrily and bored, and then continued to look down. At this glance, the subtle expression he had just had disappeared for a moment, and was replaced by a deep solemnity. After watching it twice from beginning to end, he suddenly shouted again: "Someone! ”

Hearing the sound, it was the little guy who came in again. Peeking at Xiao Lang's handsome face, the blood receded, but that kind of whiteness added a certain coldness, he hurriedly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and lowered his head again: "What do you command?" ”

"There are still capable generals in the house now, how many people are in the house?"

Faced with this question, the little guy's face turned pale, and even his voice trembled a little: "Why are you asking this?" The small ......, the small one is just serving the pen and ink in the study, I don't know, I don't know these ......"

"Idiot!" Xiao Lang immediately coldly put down two words, and then said undoubtedly, "Then go find someone who knows these things to meet me!" A stick of incense, a stick of incense, I have to see people, if it's too late, "military law disposition!" ”

The last four words suddenly shattered the little guy's thoughts, and he hurriedly agreed and stumbled out. After a while, Steward Tang, who had just come, hurriedly entered the house, and before he could say anything after giving the salute, Xiao Lang said word by word: "Don't ask anything, immediately gather these people to listen to the assignment!" This is a military order, I am not your prince now, but the governor of Zhendong Governor's Mansion "Do you understand?" ”

originally thought that his own prince had finally made a bad deal with King Jing, and he was about to bring someone to the door at this time, but when his head was smashed down with such a heavy stick, the Tang steward immediately stood up straight. Seeing Xiao Lang's calm eyes and solemn expression, he immediately knelt down on one knee and gave a dignified and flawless military salute.

"Humble command!"

Seeing that Steward Tang was striding away, without the slightest twilight from before, Xiao Lang nodded slightly with satisfaction. He glanced down at the letter on the desk again, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but go up slightly, and then he clenched his fists and snorted softly.

That guy seems to be friendly in words and does not put on a show, which makes people feel like a spring breeze, but in fact, he is very cunning, "Although you have to be prepared for what happens, you can't believe it." Now the plan, after the assignment is completed, you have to run in person, otherwise if you really make a big incident, it will definitely violate my father's teachings...... Forgive him for not daring to lie to me, "Otherwise, I will make him look good afterwards!"

The feast in the Garden of Mirrors continues. said that it was a family banquet, but Yang Jinzhou, the host, and Chen Yan, the brother-in-law, were obviously not the protagonists, and Luo Xu, a confidant and friend, was not the protagonist. After the initial unaccustomation, Luo Xu was infected by Chen Yan's fearlessness of heaven and earth, "I simply let it out, eat what I should eat, drink what I should drink, and say what I should say, especially when I saw Yang Jin Zhou frequently looking at Westinghouse," he raised his wine glass and drank bitterly. Just as he was about to remove the lid of the wine jug, he heard Yang Jinzhou's voice.

"Your Majesty" is too close to the Westinghouse bedroom in the main room, you just asked your wife to recuperate, and it's not too early now, so you won't go ......"

"What, your uncle is going to give an eviction order?" Seeing that Yang Jinzhou hesitated for a moment, the emperor finally stood up and bowed for a long time, and was about to bow down to say something, so he waved his hand excitedly, "I know what you mean." If you only steal a day of leisure, you will let me linger in your comfort zone for a while, and the next time I come, I don't know when. ”

Luo Xu quietly gave Yang Jinzhou a thumbs up when the emperor was raising his glass to drink, but as soon as he looked down, he saw that Chen Yan was already lying on the table muttering something, and he couldn't help shaking the wine jug in front of Chen Yan in confusion, and then couldn't help but get angry. The Hou Mansion has a strict family education, and the master is the most temperate, thinking that the little guy has always wanted to drink but didn't get any chance, this time he finally fulfilled his wish!

After sitting for a while, the emperor finally put down the cup and stood up, nodded lightly and said, "Okay, as soon as I come today, my wish has been fulfilled." Uncle Quan, Ji Xi, one of you is open-minded and the other is generous, and you really didn't disappoint me. It's just that the road ahead is still far away, and Hugh will forget about it for the sake of being visible for a while. ”

"Obey the Emperor's teachings"

After the two replied one after another, they glanced at each other, and Yang Jinzhou preemptively said: "It's not early, why don't you pick a few more families to escort the emperor back to the palace?" ”

"Don't forget that I just gave you a holiday!" The emperor smiled slightly, looked at Luo Xu again and said, "You are the same, don't just care about your friends and forget your mother." It doesn't matter if Chen Xiaosi is here all night, but you have to go to court tomorrow, go back quickly! ”

Luo Xu was uneasy, and when he was struggling, he saw Father-in-law Fang suddenly enter the room through the bead curtain on one side, and after saluting, he said: "Your Majesty, the prince of Zhendong is outside, saying that he has something to ask to see Lord Yang." ”

The emperor was slightly surprised, and then scolded with a smile, "He has been in the capital for a long time, but he has never refused to come and go to the power gate, and he is the most lonely person, how did he come here this time?" That's when I thought of asking for a life-saving favor? After just a moment of banter, he narrowed his eyes suddenly, and a thought flashed in his heart.

Could it be that there is any news in the palace?
