Chapter 3: Gossip with Colliers

"Eh, my Royal Highness King Shou, don't make fun of the old slave, where does the old slave come from as an internal servant, your kindness slave and maid have it, this is different from the past, let's go to the palace first, right? The saint slammed the table and scolded you, and he blamed the slave and maid for talking too much for a while, and originally wanted to say a few good words for Your Highness, but he never thought about it......"

"Haha...... Do you always get this king to go to sea, and you still have to say that you have to buy limestone, it's not a big deal, my father is still a rare Ming monarch through the ages, how can you blame this king for these trivial things? Besides, this king really didn't make these things for fun...... When you're old, put your heart in your belly. ”

"Thank you Your Highness for your understanding, then let's enter the palace!" Gao Lishi said and turned sideways to get out of the way, but he didn't expect Li Mao to jump up as soon as he got closer and reached out to hook his neck.

"Do you know? Today, when you say this, you have done something unintentionally and unintentionally, and this king is worried that he can't find a reason to open his mouth to his father? Now it's okay, when you always pierce the window paper of our grandfather......"

Gao Lishi bent down to prop himself up, as if he was afraid that Li Mao would not be able to reach his neck, but at this moment he felt like a fool, before meeting Li Mao, he thought that he was always on the side of the king, and he could not control people's hearts steadily, but at least he could see through four, five or six.

What emperor and grandson, the pride of the sky, some people for power, some people for power, and some people for wealth, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than the word profit, just the size, but the eighteen princes in front of him, to tell the truth, he Gaolishi has wanted to break his head in the past few years, and he still can't figure out what the little guy wants in his heart?

To say that he tried his best to please himself on weekdays, just so that he could say a few more decent words in the ear of the saint, but judging from the bad things he usually did, even if he said 10,000 words, it didn't seem to be useful.

Another point is the most incomprehensible to him, obviously there is a legitimate favored mother concubine, it is too late to change to someone else's mother and son, but he is good, he can't hide, once the mother and son are still quarreling because Concubine Wu Hui helped him earn the position of the prince, of course, this matter can only be known to his internal affairs manager Gao Lishi.

"Your Highness, do you really think so? Sage, he is very angry now, you can compose poems well, why do you have to come up with a sentence to leave innocence in the world, the poems are well written, but the content is too inconsistent with your current age...... Where are you? Don't blame the slave for talking too much, you have to think about it in the future when you do things and speak, you are different from other highnesses, do you understand the meaning of the slave and maid? ”

"Understood! Isn't this king a mother and concubine who is deeply loved by his father? And she still thinks about correcting this king from time to time, and her surname is Wudang and she can't become a queen, and then she remembers the way that a mother is expensive with her son, but she doesn't want to think about who her father and emperor are, that is a character comparable to her grandfather, can you not see her careful thoughts? There is also the Manchu Dynasty civil and military ......"

"Eh, little ancestor, my little ancestor! Why do you dare to confide in anything, it's good to know in your own heart, slave I still want to live a few more years? If this word reaches the ears of the saints, will it not be a great disaster......

Gao Lishi almost stomped on the soles of his feet to pull Li Mao off his shoulders, although he didn't dare to cover the prince's mouth directly, but after shouting these few words, he immediately turned around and pulled the two little eunuchs who were standing aside and whispered, and after a while, the two eunuchs were so frightened that they couldn't stand steadily, and they didn't dare to admit in their mouths.

On the other hand, in addition to Li Mao's smiling face, where did he come from to be thoughtful, Gao Lishi was completely blinded by Li Mao.

"Okay, Lao Gao, don't scare people, who in this entire Daming Palace doesn't know your old benevolence, besides, they are all your people who won't go out and talk nonsense, take a step back and say that if this is really spread out, it will become the king again, as long as the mother concubine doesn't make a fuss, maybe she can live a few more years in the palace walls where the situation is complicated? This king was dedicated to protecting her, but in turn he became a disobedient ...... Huh! Who should I talk to about the bitterness in this king's heart? It's good that you ......."

"Oh, oh, Your Highness has raised the old slave, the old slave has poor ear power, and I haven't heard a word about what His Highness said!"

"Hey...... Old stuff! The two of them bent their heads, and were chatting for a while, and a familiar voice suddenly came out: "Your Highness, all the things you want, the slaves and maids have brought them!" ”

After Li Mao saw the figure of Qiu Xiang, an unlucky girl, she immediately unconsciously retreated several steps, and immediately closed her mouth after talking endlessly. Seeing this, Colliers suddenly felt magically tight.

He was surprised: such a demon king of the mixed world who is not afraid of heaven and earth will actually be pinched by an envoy girl, but when he recalled Qiu Xiang's origin, he instantly understood a general idea in his heart, so he put down the figure of the head of internal affairs and slightly bowed his hand to Qiu Xiang, and then raised his finger to make a few little eunuchs behind him come forward to pick up the items.

"His Royal Highness King Shou's belongings are put on the carriage behind the old slave, and when you enter the palace, you don't have to be burdened to follow, and the old slave will send someone to send His Royal Highness back to the palace!"

"There is Chief Lao Gao, slaves and maids and others to send His Highness!" After Qiu Xiang finished speaking, he and the group of Shouwang Mansion stood neatly under the steps and bowed their heads to see each other off for a while, and the two carriages turned around and drove quickly to the imperial city one after the other, and the Xifang City that had just opened was very lively, although the convoy had Jin Wuwei soldiers driving in front of the road, but the car was next to the car, and the scene of people crowding people still made the carriage stay in the middle of the avenue.

In the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, the people were open, and the common people didn't seem to have much awe for the Li Tang royal family, and the government was even more tolerant of the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Mao cowered in the carriage while roasting the fire while poking out her little head and looked around, and met a few familiar traders and greeted them with care.

"Old Yangtou, it's been opened so early! The mutton in the water basin you sent a few days ago is a little bad, and you can't fool the diners like this when business is good, right? ”

"Yo, it's Eighteen Lang, the little old man has given you a gift!"

"Excuse me, no courtesy, business has been super hot lately!"

"Thanks to you, these days I saw that the Shangyuan Festival has arrived, and there are a lot of Hu merchants outside the city, and the business in the sheep house is naturally a lot better...... For the sake of comfort, how about sending all the meat to the palace for free in the past two days? ”

"That's pretty much it! By the way, if there are any novelties in the West Market these days, you always look at them, especially the green plants, the more the merrier, the king does not refuse to understand? ”

"Well, Eighteen Lang, you have said this to the shops in front of Wangfu Street no less than 800 times, little old man, I have to forget even if I want to! Some time ago, didn't you send those flax, walnuts, courgettes, and Ah Yue bastards to the palace? Are you famous in Fanfang now? They all spread the word of mouth that there is a wealthy Tang prince who likes to buy people's things, although you put your heart in your stomach, you can't leak you! ”

The more Li Mao chatted, the more cheerful he became, and the shopkeepers on the street and some clever businessmen came over like a swarm of bees, and the scene was like the onlookers of the star chasers in later generations, but this could frighten Gao Lishi.

He had long heard that Li Mao was good at messing around, but if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes today, he would never have dreamed that a dignified prince could be so good with the street vendors and people. So for the sake of Li Mao's safety, he no longer cared about his face as a chief attendant, and shouted at the crowd with a male duck, shouting and trotting to the frame where Li Mao was.

"Spread out, spread out...... collided with His Royal Highness the Prince, do you not know if you want your head to fall to the ground? The guards will disperse everyone to our family!! After Jin Wuwei received Gao Lishi's order, he immediately put everyone present outside the human wall one by one.

Li Mao, who was still unsatisfied, looked at the fleeing crowd at this time, and had to nod apologetically, and when he returned to the carriage, he muttered to Gao Lishi very secretly, "Gao Neishi, there is no need to be like this, the people just want to sell some items to this king, you are not afraid of a bad reputation of oppressing people with power?" ”

"Your Highness, you can say whatever you like, the old slave is now a holy order, if you are still messing around like this, don't blame the old slave for letting the guards escort you into the palace, no, your little ancestor has a lot of tricks in his head, and then maybe he will get some moths for the old slave, the old slave, I still ride in the same carriage with you, lest I ...... Please ask Your Highness to redeem the old slave for being unreasonable! ”

After Gao Lishi finished speaking, he didn't care whether Li Mao agreed or not, as soon as his legs were up, he climbed into the carriage with his hands and feet, and then closed the window of the car casually, and Gao Lishi, who climbed into the car, looked like a wronged little daughter-in-law, and then stared at Li Mao speechlessly. Li Mao couldn't help but laugh again.

"Lao Gao, you are really good enough, looking at the degree of agility of this skill, it should be a practitioner, it is rumored that you and your father and others fought together to enter the inner palace and seize the ......"

As soon as Li Mao's words came out, Gao Lishi immediately shuddered, and when he turned around, he hit his head directly on the window, and then he didn't even care about the pain in his head and shouted at Li Mao and felt wronged.

"Your Highness! Ancestor, you just let the old slave live for a few more years, do you want to scare the old slave to death when you say this? Count the old slave begging you, let the old slave have a few more years of peaceful life, okay? The old slave also knows that Your Highness is lively and informal, but there are some things and some words, you can really say that the dead do you know no, let's just sit and not speak now, okay? ”

"No, it will take more than half an hour to get to the imperial city? Just stare and sit like this, you will suffocate people, you seem to be a few years older than my father, it stands to reason that you are the uncle of this king, and talk to your own family If you still have so many scruples, then what's going on, idle is also idle, you will always talk to this king about those secret things, people are curious......"

Gao Lishi didn't expect that he would beg for it like this, but Li Mao, a deflated calf, still didn't eat like this, so he immediately straightened his face and issued his most tough threat in line with the principle of saying more and making more mistakes.

"Your Highness, please respect yourself! Although the old slave doesn't know what His Highness means in his heart? But it is a great crime of disrespect to peep into the secrets of the saint for no reason, and if you are so unscrupulous, don't blame the old slave for truthfully reporting to the saint......"

"Boring, you're too boring to even make jokes, don't you? The king doesn't ask, but now that you're in the carriage, you can take the good things you prepared first, and then ask someone to send them later, so it's okay. ”

After Li Mao finished speaking, he leaned down and pulled out a large wooden box from under his feet, and Gao Lishi squinted at it in shock, and then deliberately sat away as if dodging.

"Your Royal Highness, although the yellow and white silk things are lovely, but the old slave is only loyal to the saint, you still don't play these little tricks to buy people's hearts, you are the saint's favorite prince, in fact, you don't have to do this much, in the end, I am afraid that it will be self-defeat......ing."

"Say what? You old guy has been thinking about something all day long, no wonder every time I see this king, it's like hiding from the plague god, it turns out that you are always trying to avoid suspicion, right, okay, the toilet and cigarette that Lao Tzu gave you before...... Flower water, by the way, and the cream cake made by the king himself are all returned. ”
