Chapter 29: Escape from the Deep Palace (2)
When he arrived at the palace, Cao Jixiang was meticulous, and immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare high-quality silk clothes to change into Yang Chu's skirt and Aunt Shen, and the two maids each held one and came to the Wenhua Palace, and walked in cautiously, for fear of disturbing the rest of the two, which was also ordered by Cao Jixiang in advance, these two people are not ordinary people, they are Shen Jiannan's two closest people, if Shen Jiannan becomes the prince in the future, then this status can be high, so you must be careful to serve, not slack off at all.
The maid entered the house, only to see Yang Chuskirt and Aunt Shen sitting at the table, looking like they were chatting in every way, having nothing to do, very lonely, seeing the maids coming in, fortunately surprised, I don't know what they were going to do, Aunt Shen asked curiously: "Is there something wrong with you?" ”
"We are on the order of Grandpa Cao, we will send you new clothes, please wear them to see if they fit." The maid on the left said with a smile.
"It's really rare that Grandpa Cao has such a heart, take us to thank him!" Aunt Shen smiled happily.
"Yes, the slaves and maids know, then let the slaves and maids change their clothes for the two!" The maid on the right laughed humbly, threw off her clothes, and stepped forward, ready to help Aunt Shen put on her clothes.
Aunt Shen was stunned, just because she hadn't let anyone wear clothes for herself in her life, and suddenly someone served her, she was really a little unaccustomed to it, and she didn't quite adapt to it, so she smiled and said: "I'll just come by myself, you guys can get busy." ”
How dare the maids go away, if Cao Jixiang commands, they must do it, and there was an embarrassed expression on their faces at the moment, and they only promised: "You just let us help you wear it, otherwise Gonggong Cao will punish us again." ”
"What? You don't have to be punished if you don't need to wear it, what kind of rules is this, it's okay, you go back, I'll tell Gonggong Cao in a while. Aunt Shen was so surprised that she said in a serious way.
Yang Chuskirt smiled: "You just listen to your aunt, we are all countrymen, we have been used to living by ourselves since we were children, and we are really not used to being served." ”
The maid was finally helpless, so she had to leave silently, and said as she walked: "This must not be scolded." ”
Yang Chuskirt picked up Aunt Shen's dress from the table, and said with a novel smile: "Auntie, this dress is so beautiful, come, you can put it on." ”
"Really? Then I'll put it on. Aunt Shen was already smiling, she had never seen such beautiful clothes before, let alone wearing them, so she immediately took the clothes and went to the back room.
Yang Chu's skirt looked at another dress on the table, in a daze, hesitated for a long time, thinking about a lot of things in her heart, she didn't pick it up for a long time, it seemed that she didn't want to wear it, Aunt Shen got dressed, Zhengmei strode out, still looking up and down, when she looked up, she saw Yang Chu's skirt stunned there, for some reason, Aunt Shen, who was smiling, immediately hesitated, and asked tentatively: "Chu Skirt, what are you thinking?" ”
Yang Chu's skirt was stunned for a moment, and was suddenly awakened by the words, and said with a smile: "No, I just wanted to live in the mountains since I was a child, and when I thought that I could wear such beautiful clothes now, I thought it was a dream." ”
"Hey, this is a realistic thing, it looks like you're going to have to live a life of superiority in the future." Aunt Shen's eyes were shining, and she had already begun to fantasize about the good times.
Yang Chu's skirt sighed for a while, and said, "I hope so, I don't know what Brother Shen thinks in his heart." ”
"Ah, by the way, when I talked about Jiannan, I remembered, look at my memory, a piece of clothing forgot all the business, Jiannan is still in a coma, I don't know if I'm awake now, Chu Skirt, let's go and see." Aunt Shen suddenly brightened up and said precariously.
"Okay, let's go now." Yang Chuskirt hurriedly said.
Yang Chu's skirt didn't have time to put on, so she accompanied Aunt Shen to Shen Jiannan's hurried over, and came to the door, there were still two guards standing at the door, after a turn of interrogation, the two of them were let into the house, Aunt Shen nagged for a while, and said angrily: "Really, seeing that my son is still so troublesome, why are there so many rules in the palace." ”
"Auntie, don't be surprised, this is also for the sake of Brother Shen's safety." Yang Chuwan said with a smile.
The two chatted a few words, and came to Shen Jiannan's bed, only to see Shen Jiannan sitting on the bed, seeing the two of them coming, he was excited, so he smiled and said: "I was about to look for you, but you came, it's really good, Cao Jixiang didn't embarrass you, right?" ”
"Hehe, Brother Shen, you can see how Cao Jixiang treated us when you look at your aunt's clothes?" Yang Chu's skirt laughed and twisted her body.
Shen Jiannan looked at Aunt Shen, his heart was at a loss, and he sighed: "Isn't Cao Jixiang really malicious towards us?" ”
Aunt Shen smiled: "What malice can he have, he just wants you to go back to the palace, otherwise can he be so good to us?" You don't have to worry anymore, by the way, how are your injuries? ”
"I'm fine, the imperial doctor in the palace is really skilled." Shen Jiannan said with a smile, and stretched his waist to show his relaxation.
"It's great that you're okay, I'm worried about death, you still have to rest more, you can lie down." Yang Chu's skirt looked concerned and nervous again.
Shen Jiannan was very relieved and said with a smile: "Thank you for the relationship, I really... ”
Halfway through speaking, there was a knock on the door, and I only heard: "Shen Gongzi, are you awake, Gonggong Cao is invited." ”
Shen Jiannan hesitated for a moment and said, "Got it, I'll be there later." ”
Yang Chu's skirt said: "Cao Jixiang invited you to go, there must be something important to say, come, I will help you get dressed." As he spoke, he took his clothes and helped Shen Jiannan put them on like a maid. Shen Jiannan was still a little short in front of his mother, but he felt uncomfortable and behaved very restrained.
Yang Chu's skirt didn't care about these details at all, just because the relationship between the two people had reached the realm of merging together, and it didn't hurt for others to see it, Aunt Shen looked at it from the side, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, and she was happy and happy for Shen Jiannan in her heart.
Shen Jiannan got out of bed, said goodbye to the two, went out alone, and came outside, the two guards were already waiting at the door, holding a new dress in their hands, and one of the guards said: "Shen Gongzi, please put this dress on." ”
Shen Jiannan took a look, it was a cloak coat made of high-grade silk, then lifted it, threw it back, put it on his shoulders, tied it around his neck, put his hands behind him, and strode up, feeling very majestic.
I made a soft sedan chair all the way to Cao Jixiang's office, and saw Cao Jixiang standing at the door to greet him, Shen Jiannan walked out of the sedan chair and said lightly: "Father-in-law Cao came to me and didn't know what was important?" ”
"The prince is inside, please, it's windy and cold outside, let's talk inside." Cao Jixiang politely greeted Shen Jiannan and let Shen Jiannan go to the house.
Shen Jiannan sat down and said solemnly: "Gonggong Cao, please don't call me prince, I don't like this title." ”
"Then what's the matter, you are clearly the prince, if you don't call the prince, what do you want me to call you?" Cao Jixiang was puzzled and asked helplessly.
"You can call me Gongzi, or call me by my name, in short, you can't call me Prince." Shen Jiannan's lazy expression looked very impatient.
"Listen to what you mean, you don't want to go back to the palace at all, and you don't want to be a prince anymore?" Cao Jixiang chi-asked.
"You're right, I'm not interested in the palace." Shen Jiannan said coldly.
Cao Jixiang's expression immediately changed, but it was not anger, but helplessness, Huo Di got up, paced back and forth in the room, and said for a long time: "Shen... Shen Gongzi, all the sects in the rivers and lakes are arresting you right now, you have already seen it yourself, now only the palace is the safest place, in addition, you have nowhere to go, it can be said that you are now cornered, if you are not the prince, then what should I say to the emperor? ”
Shen Jiannan pondered for a moment and said, "Well, I'm just staying in the palace temporarily, if you can't say anything about it in the emperor, then find me a petty official in your place." ”
Cao Jixiang was even more helpless, and sighed: "You are not the real prince, but you are a petty official, the old slave really doesn't know what you think." ”
"If you don't agree, I'd rather go out and be caught by the Jianghu people." Shen Jiannan knew that it was impossible for him to let him go, so he came up with such a way to coerce him.
Cao Jixiang hesitated for a while and said, "Okay, just like you said." ”
"And you can't tell the emperor about me being the prince." Shen Jiannan seemed to give orders, but Cao Jixiang obeyed his words, although he was not a prince, he was also a prince, and he couldn't be slacking off at all.
Shen Jiannan said again: "By the way, I still have something to ask you." ”
"What's the matter, Shen Gongzi just asked."
"That time I came to you to ask about Zhao Xiancheng, when I went back to Xiaoshan, the gang was going to kill me, saying that I colluded with you, and I also saw me drinking with you on the city tower, what is going on, is it deliberately arranged by you, you want me to cut off relations with Xiaoshan, so as to achieve your purpose of letting me go back to the palace?" Shen Jiannan's words were cold, and his eyes were staring at him tightly.
Cao Jixiang was stunned in his heart, and immediately smiled: "Don't misunderstand me, when did the two of us drink on the city tower, but we just drank a little in the house at night, I just wanted to persuade you to go back to the palace that day to stay with you for one night, and there is no other meaning, as for how the group of people in Xiaoshan fell out with you, I don't know, maybe there is some contradiction between you." ”
Shen Jiannan didn't believe what he said, looked at him hesitantly, and said coldly: "It's better not for you to do it, otherwise I won't let you go." ”
Cao Jixiang was shocked and hurriedly said: "Even if the old slave has the courage to deceive you, he will not dare to deceive you, if you don't believe it, the old slave can swear in front of you." And when he spoke, he knelt on the ground and swore an oath.
Shen Jiannan sighed: "Okay, okay, what else do you have, if not, I'll leave." ”
Cao Jixiang said: "Do you know your real name?" And who your birth mother is, do you know? ”
"I don't know" Shen Jiannan replied very cheerfully, with a cold expression, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
"Your real name is Zhu Jianzhi, and your mother is Concubine Wan Chen." Cao Jixiang smiled, but there was an element of temptation in this smile, just to see what Shen Jiannan's reaction would be after hearing it.
Shen Jiannan was really stunned when he heard this, only to see his eyebrows tightly locked, his expression began to become sad, and he asked for a long time: "Where does Concubine Wan Chen live?" ”
"Hey, Concubine Wan Chen died in the second year of your disappearance because she missed you and was depressed." Cao Jixiang lamented and showed sorrow.
"Where is that buried?" Shen Jiannan didn't seem to react much, just sighed a little.
"Buried in the mausoleum." Cao Jixiang sighed.
