Chapter 30: The Second Prince
"County Lord, whose carriage and horse are they, so magnificent!" Xingyu opened her eyes and looked at the carriage and horses that had begun to move with envy, and Xue Liu, who was attracted by Xingyu's exaggerated cry, also changed her expression to envy.
Yun Niang stuffed the food box into Xue Liu's hand, one by one lazier than the other, turned around and went to count the salutes.
"County Lord, is this the princess's guard of honor?" Nian Xia couldn't help but ask.
"Why is it the princess's honor guard, I didn't see that it was Concubine Wen who walked in the front." Whisk shook his head.
Zheng Nianru saw that the people under him were all attracted by this honor guard, and they were not interested, so they also looked over at this time.
In the middle of the wide road, a huge carriage moved forward slowly, and Zheng Nianru couldn't describe the exaggeration of this carriage with the word big at all. How to put it, this carriage feels like a moving house, with a two-meter-high carriage and a three-meter length in front and back, let alone lying in it, even if you can walk in it.
There are more palace maids and eunuchs on both sides of each holding an incense burner in their hands, the aroma of herbs fills the entire air, and there are twelve palace maids carrying Xiao, flute, Xun, sheng and other things behind the carriage, and the slow music is like the slow speed of the carriage, which makes people's hearts calm down.
Concubine Wen is a concubine, and she definitely doesn't dare to brazenly swagger through the market like this.
Although this carriage is ostentatious, not all the eunuchs who follow it are of high grade, which also means that Yin is not Concubine Wen's carriage.
It's not Concubine Wen's guard of honor, and it's not a princess's, so whose is it? At this moment, even Zheng Nianru became curious.
"County Lord, which princess do you say can have such a big guard of honor? The eldest princess? Or the most favored princess Hongying? Nian Xia softened, leaned on the carriage, and watched the carriage slowly move forward with envy.
Zheng Nianru smiled slightly, the princess does not have such a big guard of honor, even if she becomes the queen mother and covers the sky with one hand, she is not so particular.
It's just that Zheng Nianru really didn't guess who was in the carriage, it seems that there is no such person in her impression, is there such a favored concubine at this time?
Zheng Nianru suddenly remembered a person - the second prince.
This short-lived second prince, Zheng Nianru's only impression was the words of the old man in the palace who praised him more and more. Even in their mouths, it is not any woman who can compare Nan Zheng Guozhong's beauty with her beauty, but the second prince.
People who have seen him say that the second prince has a face that can be feathered and ascended to immortals and fall to the ground to become a demon, and when he pretends to be a woman, he is more charming than a woman, and if he pretends to be a man, he is a rare beautiful boy in the world.
It's just that the second prince died very early.
Zheng Nianru sat up suddenly, holding the low table in the carriage with one hand.
She seemed to remember something, the second prince died in the palace, and it was this prayer ceremony.
……
Concubine Wen took advantage of the short rest time to abandon her carriage and walk into the carriage of the second prince.
Such a conspicuous guard of honor that exceeds any specification, in the eyes of Concubine Wen, even if it is a super-quality thing, it is not too much to use it on her son.
Before Concubine Wen Guifei entered the carriage, the look of love on her face couldn't help but appear.
Her proud son since childhood, from birth, this face can inspire all the love in your heart, melt all your shadows, and give him everything in this world. When the saint was still in good health, he even thought about changing the storage position. Why not? Her son, the second prince of Nan Zhengguo, could have had the same longitude and latitude as the crown prince, and he was able to stand in that position and scold Fang Xuan.
In the center of the carriage, a black and white tiger skin was covered with the black and vertical hair of the young man lying on the tiger skin, the white silk clothes were like snow, and the skin was better than snow, because the white, pure pupils and bewitching eyes were wonderfully integrated, like the aura of the clouds of the mountains.
"My son." Concubine Wen's gaze fell on the man in the carriage who almost melted her heart, and the appearance of her son was all the beauty she could think of.
"Is this how the concubine came?" Zheng Muyuan's voice was low, with a sense of powerlessness due to lack of qi and blood.
"Fuxin, how do you feel?" Concubine Wen's heart twitched, and her eyes were full of concern, like every mother who dotes on her children.
"Thank you for your concern, my son feels very good." Zheng Muyuan wanted to get up, but Concubine Wen hurriedly stepped forward, and the young man in black was faster and helped Zheng Muyuan up in front of Concubine Wen. "Don't worry, mother, with the Milky Way, I'll be fine."
Concubine Wen raised her head slightly, but she didn't dare to look at this young man. The black-clothed young man had a black bucket hat on his head, and his whole face was hidden in the darkness, and he couldn't see clearly. As soon as the black-clothed young man approached, Concubine Wen had a fear that her hairs stood on end. Since Concubine Wen personally saw him eat the centipede raw, she knew that this young man was accompanied by a poisonous tongue and slept in the scorpion nest, so Concubine Wen Guifei did not dare to look at this young man with her eyes.
If it weren't for the fact that this young man was personally recommended by Master Huo Yi, and he really saved Fuxin, she definitely didn't want to leave such a person by Fuxin's side.
"That's good, if there's anything uncomfortable, let people come back to me immediately." Concubine Wen didn't dare to sit more, although the carriage was comfortable, although she cared about her son, but with the young man in black, Concubine Wen felt like her body was crawling with poisonous insects and beasts.
After Concubine Wen left, silence returned to the carriage.
"Can't you stay?" Zheng Muyuan suddenly spoke, and the carriage was quiet and cold, without getting the slightest response.
Just when Zheng Muyuan was about to give up, the young man in black spoke.
"The kindness I owe to Master Huo Yi has been paid off, there is no reason to stay any longer, to help you one last time, it is already benevolent and righteous." The black-clothed young man's voice was cold, without a trace of temperature, and sitting in the corner of the carriage, a scorpion crawled out of the sleeve of the young man's coat, circled around, and crawled back slowly.
Jingcai people complained that the pillows of the carriage were too hard, and complained that the road was potholed, and the bones of the seats were like falling apart. complained again, the concubines who did not have the title of the first palace were neglected, the number of palace maids and eunuchs accompanying them was reduced by half, not to mention, even the carriage changed from three to two, she couldn't bring many of her salutes, and if the things in the palace were not to her liking, how would she spend this month?
"Master, do you know that the second prince will also go to the palace this time." The eyes of the girl who spoke were all stars, and the legend of the second prince was never on the dark side, but in private, they were the palace maids and eunuchs who talked about it the most.
Because, in the mouths of the palace maids and eunuchs, the appearance of the second prince has been spread to be miraculous, some people say that as long as you look at it, it will be unforgettable, and some say that many palace maids would rather die and serve by the side of the second prince.
"Second prince?" Jingcairen was slightly stunned, the previous complaints were like incompatible with this name, one was a firework in the world, and the second prince was the stars in the sky.
Jingcai people have seen the second prince once, the second prince was in critical condition that day, and there were not so many taboos, she had seen the second prince lying in bed from a distance, only one glance, very weak, very amazing, that kind of strong conflict is like a pink and flawless flower quenched with poison.
Jing Cairen didn't know why he felt this way.
"Who is the most trusted palace person around the second prince?" Jingcai didn't know why he asked, but he wanted to ask.
Jingcairen's maid quietly glanced around, and after confirming that there were no outsiders around, she said mysteriously.
"Master, there are no palace people around the second prince, I heard that they were all poisoned." It will be replaced in less than two months, and this matter is very strictly hidden, and there are very few people in the palace who know about it.
