Volume 2 - The Feast of Kyoto Chapter 33 The First Entry into the Imperial City
In front of the Prince's Mansion, Makuhime and Bu Fanchen were separated, of course, Bu Fanchen was allowed to leave when the two had already arrived at the Prince's Mansion.
Regarding what she was thinking, Mahime still didn't take the initiative to speak, but after two people with the same "path" as them appeared on the way back to the house, the worry between her eyebrows couldn't deceive people, plus her two distractions today, the whole thing was faintly guessed.
He was also new to the capital, and he didn't know the distribution of power in the capital, so he needed to be cautious. Makuhime didn't speak, he naturally didn't want his father to help, and besides, he was an independent person, with the mentality of relying on himself for everything.
But I finally let those people know that Makuhime and the Prince's Mansion are related, so when Makuhime and herself arrived at the Prince's Mansion, they let her leave, just to remind some people that there is a mysterious second prince's mansion supporting Makuhime.
The reason why this was done was because some people did not dare to act rashly before shaking the power of the Prince's Mansion, which ensured the safety of her life to a certain extent.
How could Mu Ji not know Bu Fanchen's meaning, and the reason why she didn't tell Bu Fanchen was because she had the same mind as Bu Fanchen, that is, she chose Bu Fanchen herself, not the forces behind her.
Moreover, the current situation in the capital is complicated, the battle for imperial power is coming, and Bu Fanchen appeared prematurely in the eyes of the world, which is not good for the overall situation.
After Bu Youkong returned home and passed by the Huang family as a guest for a while, Qu Fu was asked by him to go to the Second Prince's Mansion.
The reason for this is that he has not returned to the house for many years, and most of the people in the house he is not familiar with, so he wants an acquaintance to help manage his life. But the actual situation is that before Bu Youkong left, the current Holy Emperor let all the men and maids of the original Prince's Mansion stay, because he knew that the second child of his family was nostalgic, so letting Qu Fulai be a housekeeper in the Prince's Mansion was just an excuse, in fact, he wanted the old man to be an elder in the second half of his life and enjoy happiness.
After Bu Zhuang Bi left in Bu Youkong, he thought that he could do a little bit, so he retained the original state of the people and horses of the prince's mansion.
He also knew that Bu Youkong's departure had something to do with him, the latter just didn't want to see his former eldest brother become the person he hated, the so-called royal misfortune, the Son of Heaven accounted for the third, the cold room beauties were the second, and half of the princes and princesses who were born unwarm.
The Second Prince's Mansion is also called Prince Jin's Mansion.
Its mansion has a similar style to the city lord's mansion of Huang Jingdan, Wangdongdu, and its doormen have only one person, unlike other big families, there are often dozens of doormen at each gate. Because the owner's personality is similar, there are also similarities in the door style.
The only difference is that the gatekeeper of the Prince's Mansion is an elderly middle-aged uncle, fifty-six years old, his cultivation is not strong, and the martial artist level belongs to the kind of ordinary people in the capital, named Zhang Hua. It was an old man from when Bu Youkong was still in the capital, he was only ten years old when he first came to the prince's mansion, and now his son is almost eighteen.
The Prince's Mansion is not good at peace, it looks hierarchical, but in fact, it is the least intrigue among the guys in the major families, after all, most of the people who come here rely on luck, not talent and strength, as for the background, except for the eyeliner approved by the individual steps placed by the imperial power, the background is useful here?
As for the eyeliner of other forces, since they all have the ability to let him step into the void without discovering it, according to the words of the lazy prince, he just has to come, if the secret of the palace is revealed, he can only blame him for meeting people in the dark sky and having poor vision, but once it is discovered, it will only be the death of the person who handed the sword later.
The second prince had already returned to the mansion at noon, and when the news of his return to Beijing spread, the people in the entire mansion were very happy, after all, the return of the head of the family was already a great joy for the old man who had not left for more than 30 years.
But everyone's faces didn't show too much joy, they were all old people, and they all knew the character of the second prince. Besides, the return of the second prince is by no means a trivial matter, and the next few days will definitely be very busy, so their next task is very heavy.
For those guys, the reason why they have not left for more than 30 years is not only the decent salary, but also the gratitude and affection for this mansion.
Zhang Hua had been instructed to see that the person outside the door was a little hesitant, looking left and right, looking at his demeanor and face, and getting the instructions of the old man Qu, it was naturally not difficult to guess that it was a little prince who did not dare to enter the house, and then looked respectful, accepted the joy, and said sincerely: "Little doorman Zhang Hua, dare to ask if it is a little prince?"
Bu Fanchen, who was still afraid of going to the wrong door and hesitated, after hearing the words of the old doorman, he let go of the timid string in his heart and smiled lightly at the uncle guarding the door: "My name is Bu Fanchen, and Mr. doesn't need to be called Shizi." ”
Zhang Hua looked a little frightened, his knees were weak, he hurriedly knelt down, lowered his head and said: "The prince of the world is a thousand nobles, and the little one who dies dare not accept the word Mr., and I hope that the prince will forgive me for my cheap life, and don't have this kind of name again." ”
Seeing that Zhang Hua was so nervous, the nervousness revealed in his expression was true, Bu Fanchen was a little stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, he found that this was the capital, he was a little prince, no longer on the island, and there was a ferry, and he felt a little lost, knowing that some things could not be changed for the time being, and blindly insisting on it would only harm them, so he had to pretend to be serious and said: "Zhang Hua get up quickly, it is important for me to see my father." “
Zhang Hua on the ground saw that Bu Fanchen no longer called Mr., but called himself by his name, so he felt a little relieved. I didn't dare to delay, hurriedly got up, and led the way in front with a heartfelt smile.
Although Xiao Shizi called him Mr. He couldn't afford it, but his heart was still very satisfied, after all, even in the relatively peaceful Prince's Mansion, the sense of knowledge in people's bones will not change, of course, today's matter, it must not be used as bragging capital, his life is small, if others know that the prince treats a doorman like this, it is a big deal to be laughed at by people with a heart.
Bu Fanchen now looks about twelve years old, and his height is about one meter six.
When Zhang Hua led the way in front of Bu Fanchen, he always bent over and lowered his head, trying to keep himself and Bu Fanchen at the same height, and never dared to go too far higher than the world.
Because his father had told him that there would be a dinner party in the evening, Bu Fanchen had a trace of expectation and anxiety in his heart from the time he entered the prince's mansion, and Zhang Hua's bending made him a little uncomfortable, and he didn't have much heart to appreciate the landscape in his home.
Walking to the road, he seemed to think of something, a glimmer of light flashed in Bu Fanchen's eyes, and he said with some curiosity: "Zhang ----- Zhang Hua." ”
Zhang Hua's attention was always focused, and when he heard Xiao Shizi calling himself, he immediately turned around and replied with a smile: "What does the prince command, the little one must know everything." ”
Bu Fanchen looked at the latter's face again, the deep wrinkles and the low cultivation told him that this person should not be young, there was a trace of immature joy and curiosity in his eyes, and he smiled: "You are an old guy in the house!"
Zhang Hua was stunned, but he didn't expect the prince to ask himself, and hurriedly replied: "Hui Shizi, the younger one has been in the mansion for forty-six years, and the younger one is a person from Jincheng, Fuzhou, and when he was just ten years old, he was sold to the capital by the local lord to be a partner." ”
Bu Fanchen was a little surprised, walked closer, and said with a smile: "Wow, for so many years, there are seven or eight Bu Fanchen for so long, that means that when your father is not there, you are working tirelessly to take care of the mansion?"
Zhang Hua was a little frightened, and hurriedly replied nervously: "The son of the world is a close family of the heavenly family, and the little one dare not have a heart for comparison, and I hope that the son of the world will understand." It is our duty to take care of the mansion, how dare we talk about hard work,"
At this time, in front of the two of them, Qu Fu was walking slowly, and the goal was naturally to pick up Fan Chen and go to the dark sky.
Bu Fanchen also saw Qu Fu, and knew that he couldn't change Zhang Hua's awe and humility mentality for a while, so he had to give up and stop talking.
After bringing Bu Fanchen to Bu Youkong's study, Qu Fu once called Zhang Hua to a private place and told him to get along with Xiao Shizi, not to be too rigid, and to put down some rules of dignity and humility appropriately, otherwise let Shizi spend time with them, even if it is an old man, he Qu Fu will not agree.
Of course, with the prince, the rules don't have to be paid too much attention, if someone doesn't care about the character of the little prince and he becomes half or even the whole friend, but if someone dares someone to leak the news of the prince to the outside world, even if it is only mentioned after drinking, then he Qu Fu will definitely be the villain who is more ruthless than anyone else.
The prince disdains the matter of slaughtering people, but he Qu Fu can try, as for the question behind the prince, what if he bears it.
The reason why he didn't tell everyone about this situation was because Qu Fu knew that the effect and speed of the news delivered by a person living together would not be too weak, and it could also make things mellow and excessive, after all, the house was full of old guys, and he could say cruel things, but most of the princes were unwilling.
In the study room in the palace, Bu Youkong was in a daze with a picture of an old farmer and cattle in the countryside.
The old farmer in the picture is very simple, holding a bamboo whip in his hand and riding on the cow, the black buffalo does not have a rope on his body, the bamboo whip is not like a cow, but like a mosquito in the air, the only strange thing is that the old cow who is wading in the water has a lot of doubts in his eyes, as if he is not so sure about the road ahead, and the old farmer who scolds the bamboo whip is also a blind man, just relying on the bamboo whip to guide the old cow.
When Bu Fanchen arrived behind him, Bu Youkong withdrew from his gaze, turned around and looked over, and smiled softly: "You're back so soon?"
Bu Fanchen was stunned by his father's question, and was a little puzzled: "Could it be that the child should do something outside at this time?"
Bu Youkong patted his head lightly, and said to himself with a little embarrassment: "I almost forgot, it's just a nine-year-old child, but it looks like a teenager, but I want to fork it." ”
Bu Fanchen saw that his father was talking and didn't hear the specific content, so he couldn't help frowning, scratched his head, and wondered: "Does my father dare to be quiet?"
Bu Youkong smiled and didn't continue the topic, originally he thought that Xiao Fanchen and the girl of the Murong family could still have some stories?
stepped forward and knocked Bu Fanchen's head, suppressed his smile, and said with a serious expression: "Are you going to go to the palace with me?"
Bu Fan Chenchen thought for a while, shrugged his shoulders, and said helplessly: "It seems that you can't go if you don't go!"
Bu Youkong laughed, knowing that Bu Fanchen had a trace of cowardice in his heart, but he was generally like a man, and he was a little proud of being a father.
Immediately, the movements on his hands were changed to strokes, and he also said with some expectation and solemnity: "Then let's go meet your grandfather and them first," the latter words Bu Youkong did not say, that is, let the group of old guys see if he Bu Youkong has insulted the title of the Southern Qilinzi.
By the way, let them see the world and see the talent carried by the new generation of their Bu family, a little son with a good heart for the time being, of course, this is also to tell those people that if Bu Fanchen is bullied by the older generation in the palace in the future, he will have a reason to make a move.
Although he didn't want to bear too much pressure in his heart, but in the royal family, in addition to the feelings in his heart, he also had to think about this big country, since he had this talent, then he had to bear the corresponding responsibilities, such as the bet of the entire southern country.
The Buzhuang in the palace must have been dressed in civilian clothes, and there was no guard or eunuch palace maid beside him, and he came to the entrance of the jade bamboo forest alone.
I haven't seen him for more than 30 years, Bu Youkong doesn't necessarily know him, but he knows that Bu Youkong won't change much, according to the past, Bu Youkong, the previous generation of Bu family Qilinzi, must first go to his grandfather Bu Chasei's place when he enters the palace, and then he will get together with him, so he waited in the Yuzhu Forest early.
Sure enough, Bu Youkong, who was holding the prince's order, quickly appeared in his field of vision, followed by a little guy.
Bu Zhuang must have a long-lost smile on his face, if there is a prince here, he will be shocked, because that kind of smile that leaks true feelings, they may have a chance to meet before they are sensible, but after they are sensible, it will hardly be there, and it has nothing to do with talent or anything, this is the iron rule of the step family, the emperor has no different generational feelings, and would rather be more erotic, not thinking about children, should not dare and cannot have.
Without speaking, Bu Zhuang stepped forward and wanted to pat Bu Youkong's shoulder, but found that something was always missing.
Bu Youkong did not break, he knew where this change came from, he understood the eldest brother's distress, did not perform the monarch's courtesy, but straightened his waist, and said solemnly: "The second brother is in the sky, and he has seen the eldest brother with the son of the mortal dust." ”
There is a step in the sky to remind that for this current Holy Emperor, Bu Fanchen has a little warmth in addition to being afraid of the breathtaking breath of the Son of Heaven, and then said: "Nephew Bu Fanchen has seen the uncle. ”
Bu Zhuang must have glanced at Bu Fanchen, this uncle called very well, and instantly filled in some missing things. Then he smiled lightly, saying that it was very good, and there was no excessive movement, but Bu Youkong knew that this was the most sincere feeling of the emperor of the southern kingdom for the younger generation.
Because the perennial emphasis will make them either very indifferent to the next generation, or the purpose of cultivation is very clear. Unless it is after decades of aftertaste, there will be a small number of people who show that kind of humanity to the younger generations of the next generation, such as him and Bu Chaiming, at the beginning Bu Zhuang Bi and several other princes were also deeply loved by Bu Chaiming, but later after showing the emperor's talent and will, they were more or less deliberately alienated.
Walking side by side in the jade-colored jade bamboo forest, Bu Fanchen followed closely behind the two, and Bu Zhuang must be the first to speak: "Over the imperial level?"
Step Youkong: "Hmm!
Bu Zhuangbi: "Big brother has changed!"
Step Youkong: "That's why I chose to leave." ”
Bu Zhuang Bi: "Are you disappointed!"
Hearing this, Bu Youkong paused slightly, and replied sincerely: "I have been away for more than thirty years, I have lived a very fulfilling life, and I brought a boy back to my eldest brother, in fact, you still have a little niece, but she is not biological, for other reasons, I can't bring her back to show you for the time being, but they all know that they have an uncle who is the emperor." “
Bu Zhuang Bi turned his head to look at the crystal jade bamboo, a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, a trace of extremely fine moisture flashed in the corner of his eyes, and he glanced at Bu Fanchen who was following seriously, if he looked carefully, Shen Yun was somewhat similar to his father, this is the best, this is the best.
After receiving such a warm answer from Bu Youkong, the heaviness on his face receded by more than half, and he said with a smile, "Then I will set up a family banquet in Huiwang Palace today, and after I remember to finish, bring my nephew and son here." There are many royal relatives in the younger generation who are not far apart in age, so it is good for them to know each other in advance. “
Bu Youkong turned his head to look at Bu Fanchen, and Bu Fanchen hurriedly replied: "The kid obeys the uncle's order, and he must come to the family banquet with his father in the evening." ”
The word family banquet is very interesting.
Before the Yuzhu Forest was finished, Bu Zhuang Bi turned around and left, the Chonghua Palace was not accessible to anyone, even he could not be used as a garden, and it was inappropriate for him to go in today, so he left in advance.
Of course, when Bu Youkong had not returned to Beijing, Huang Jingdang had already sent a message to Bu Zhuangbi, so when the two met, the plan had already begun to start, although there were no words, but the tacit understanding between each other was still there, for the sake of the third brother, for their dreams, their brothers had to fight for their lives with this era, and they had to bet with the heritage of the southern country.
