207 Still a child (one shift)
The fourth prince, Gu Yanqi. The biological mother is the head of the four concubines in the past, and now the concubine in the cold palace.
Shi Huan was silent for a while, and suddenly asked Taifu meaningfully, "Now, how old is that young man?" "The fourth prince in my memory is still a half-old child.
"Maybe ......" Taifu thought for a while, a little uncertain, "Ten and two?" ”
The chess pieces in his hand fell, and Shi Huan seemed to be chatting as usual, "I'm still a child." ”
"Hmm. Still a child. "Twelve years old, if you come from an ordinary family, it is the age of Cheng Huan's knees, read some sage books, say some childish words, and secretly get together with three or five friends on weekdays, use the copper plate that has been saved for a long time, and drink a pot of turbid wine, just like a snail trying to reach out its tentacles, trying to contact the adult world.
However, the twelve years old of the emperor's family is different in the end.
The master instructed the butler, "Go and welcome people in." His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince came to the door, and there is no reason for us to see it. "No matter what the rumors will turn out to be, if you don't see it, you will be charged with contempt for the royal family.
The housekeeper retired and hired someone.
Taifu glanced at Shi Huan, who had been very stable from beginning to end, and asked with a smile, "Guess what he is doing?" ”
"Concubine Xian entered the cold palace, and the family was exiled to the border, and everyone knew that the future of this trip was unpredictable and uncertain. The four princes have never had anything to do with our family, but I think that if there is anyone in this world who can save Concubine Xian, I am afraid that there is only the queen who has never dealt with the concubine. That's us. Shi Huan looked at the chessboard and reminded Taifu, "Grandfather, it's your turn." ”
Today, this girl is very murderous, and she can vaguely see that she is about to lose. Taifu threw away the chess pieces in his hand, and the old god looked out on the ground with his sleeves in his hands, "If you don't play, people are coming...... You say, are we going to help, or are we not helping? ”
"You don't have any music in mind about this, and you still want to ask me?"
Uncle Lin laughed sullenly in the back, but Taifu didn't care, and only supported his chin to look at Shi Huan when he heard the words, "I just want to hear about you." ”
"The women in the palace are not fuel-efficient lamps...... can sit in the position of the head of the four concubines, and work to frame the concubine, although I am not impressed by her, but I also know that she is not an idle person...... Such a person may be a scourge if he helps. ”
"That doesn't help?" Taifu smiled and raised eyebrows at her.
"Don't help...... If there is one less concubine, there may be another concubine, and the last thing in the harem is women...... To help or not, it depends on what kind of chips this Royal Highness the Fourth Prince brings with him. She sat upright, her eyes falling slightly beyond the threshold, and her expression looked dangerous, like a merchant waiting to be sold.
Taifu pointed meaningfully, "I thought...... You will help. Innocent after all. ”
"Innocent? Who knows that all of them are innocent...... "There are three thousand beauties in the harem, and every year there are concubines who are pregnant, but there are not a few who have successfully given birth to the emperor's heir, and there are not a few who died young......
"What's more, if you help with your hands, you will also help...... But if it takes some effort to help, you have to get paid. ”
Taifu's eyebrows fell slightly, this girl was more sober and rational than he thought. Indeed, in the past 100 years, although the Shi family has adhered to the purpose of doing good deeds and accumulating virtue to continue the century-old foundation, they have never done meaningless goodness.
If you don't pay some corresponding price, many people in the world don't know how to cherish it.
As he spoke, Gu Yanqi, the fourth prince, had already followed the housekeeper in. It can be seen that he is very nervous, he is much shorter than the housekeeper, his steps are small and tactful, he keeps his head down the whole time, his hand stirs the robe at his side, he takes a few steps and quietly looks up at the top of his eyes, and then quickly bows his head.
The half-grown child in his memory seems to have seen a few times, and he also looks a little cowardly, shrinking behind the palace maid and looking carefully, but when he looks over, he instantly retracts back.
A prince who doesn't have a sense of presence.
Even if his mother is favored in the palace, the three brothers with their own "characteristics" make him look extraordinarily uncharacteristic.
Taifu and Shi Huan got up with a smile and saluted, "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince." ”
Gu Yanqi was very nervous, seeing this, he hurriedly stepped forward a few steps to support the Taifu, helped one, and went to help Shi Huan, thinking of whether men and women would kiss or not, but immediately withdrew his hand, "Miss Shi, get up quickly, no courtesy, no courtesy......"
The eldest lady of the Shi family, he has seen it from afar a few times, is a girl carved in pink and jade, dressed better than the favored county lord in the palace, if no one is playing in the imperial garden, the palace maids around him are envious at that time, saying that if it is with such a master, it is different.
That's when I'm still young, and the palace maids didn't avoid themselves at all. After this time, the goodbye girl always comes with a little subconscious inferiority.
"Fourth Prince, please." While leading the person into the house, the Taifu instructed Uncle Lin to prepare tea and snacks.
Gu Yanqi said that he refused to sit on the main seat for anything, and sat on the left hand side of the main seat, with careful caution and flattery in every move.
Taifu didn't force him, sat down opposite him, took a sip of the teacup, and then asked, "I don't know why His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince came this time?" ”
Hearing this, Gu Yanqi knelt down with a pout, "Please save me!" Tears flowed.
He said that he knelt and knelt, there was no sign at all, so frightened that Taifu hurriedly got up and turned over the side coffee table, and the tea splashed from the teacup in his hand splashed his body but he didn't care about tidying up, so he quickly avoided this gift to take care of Yan Qi. But Gu Yanqi was stubborn, knelt with an iron heart, pulled the chair leg and didn't let go, but Taifu couldn't pull it up.
Taifu dragged and persuaded, "Your Highness! Why are you so hard, if you kneel, if it spreads, what face will the old minister have to live! ”
Gu Yanqi still insisted, "Taifu, I'm just a prince who has lost power, you are an emperor who even treats his father with courtesy, you can afford my kneeling, you can afford ......"
A half-grown boy, but his strength is not small. Taifu didn't dare to use force, so she could only stare at Shi Huan and ask her to hurry up and find a way.
Shi Huan looked at the kneeling young man, "The fourth prince should get up." Let's not talk about whether this kneeling is useful or not, just say that if you keep kneeling, I'm afraid it's not easy to speak. Presumably, you're not here just to kneel......"
"If kneeling can be exchanged for the grace of Concubine Xian and the upper and lower members of the imperial physician family, then you should also kneel to Your Majesty......"
Taifu nodded frequently, "Yes, yes, Your Highness, get up quickly...... We have something to say, something to say. This time, it didn't take much effort to pull the man up and send him back to the stool, and Taifu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
