Chapter 18 Don't be afraid, follow this king
Jiang Guo had the upper hand with overwhelming forces.
The appetite of the Jiang people who originally did business in Qiao Guo also became inflated, and they thought that Qiao Guo would be theirs sooner or later, so they kept challenging the bottom line of the people of Qiao Guo.
The villagers of Jiang Guo were driven by desire and became capitalists who oppressed the people.
And the government's inaction directly caused the people to be very disgusted with Li Chengluo.
The emperor's preference for him made him the target of public criticism.
The people didn't care about what Li Chengluo had experienced, they only knew that they were in dire straits, but the emperor was so focused on Li Chengluo that he didn't care about the lives of the people at all.
The people's grievances are all blamed on Li Chengluo.
As soon as Su Yuqing stepped into the palace, she felt the hatred behind her.
As soon as she turned around, everyone lowered their heads, but the disgust in their eyes did not dissipate.
Xiaojun was originally concentrating on eating steamed buns, but she was also shocked by this powerful hatred, and she didn't forget to give Li Chengluo a grievance when she ate it in her mouth, "The slave doesn't understand, the prince didn't do anything wrong, why did they blame the prince for the fault?" ”
Su Yuqing knew that she was a diehard fan of Li Chengluo.
She poked Xiaojun's head, "Why don't you go and iron the prince's dress, we will enter the palace tomorrow." ”
"Yes." Jun pouted.
Su Yuqing squandered some of the silver today, and the family, which was already worse, became even less wealthy.
Now that the market is not good, it seems that she can only find other channels for money.
——
Early the next morning.
Li Chengluo and Su Yuqing were at the door, waiting for the carriage that the emperor came up to greet them.
Su Yuqing kept yawning, she had been living here for a while, but she still couldn't adapt to the biological clock of getting up at five o'clock.
Today is Li Chengluo's birthday, and he wears a silver-white suit, the patterns on it are all embroidered with gold wire, and the whole person is full of luxury.
It's just that the silver-white material is like a polishing board, which makes the bloodless Li Chengluo even more cold, miserable and beautiful, and really has the taste of sickness.
If it weren't for the clothes given by the emperor, Su Yuqing would have removed the gold thread on it and sold it for money.
In just a few minutes, several dignitaries came to give gifts.
Li Chengluo was still as cold as ever, and no matter how enthusiastic the others were, he didn't look at them, and at most he simply nodded.
He turned to her and said, "What about yours?" ”
Su Yuqing saw the gift in Zhuang Lai's hand, and also understood that Li Chengluo was asking her for a gift.
To be honest, she didn't plan to send it at all.
"Not ready?"
After Li Chengluo finished speaking, he turned his head and even rolled her eyes.
Su Yuqing couldn't cry or laugh.
The luxury carriage drove in their direction.
Li Chengluo ignored her and walked towards the carriage without looking back.
Su Yuqing raised her eyes and happened to see something in the air flying towards Li Chengluo, "Be careful!" ”
Zhuang Lai's eyes were quick, and he slashed down with a sword.
The thing was split in half, and it didn't hurt Li Chengluo.
But the sharp blade of that thing, with inertia, still bounced to Li Chengluo's forehead.
Blood ran down his forehead and fell to the ground.
Zhuang Lai was about to chase after him, but was stopped by Li Chengluo, "Don't delay the time, let's go." ”
Su Yuqing probably guessed that it was just a villager who spilled his grievances on Li Chengluo.
If it were really an assassination, it wouldn't have been in the form of a space projectile.
Li Chengluo got into the carriage, and Su Yuqing followed closely, only to find that the little spider ran out of her cuff like crazy and came to the blood beads on the ground.
Sniffing non-stop......
What's going on?
Li Chengluo had already got into the carriage, and they didn't have time to delay, thinking that the little spider was at the door of their house, so they didn't care about it.
The carriage was magnificent, but there was nothing on it.
Seeing that Li Chengluo's forehead was still bleeding, Su Yuqing took off the red ribbon tied to his head and just leaned over to help him bandage it.
But he hid, very disgusted.
Su Yuqing pulled him over strongly, took the red rope around his head again and again, and complained in his mouth: "I hope the prince can always maintain a state of dislike for me, not the same during the day and the same at night." ”
Li Chengluo seemed to think of something, his face turned pale, "I don't know shame." ”
Su Yuqing grabbed the red rope in his hand and tied it violently.
Li Chengluo frowned in pain, but there was nothing he could do with her.
After getting out of the carriage, the man had not yet stood firm.
I don't know where the people came from, and they will hit Li Chengluo.
When he came back to his senses, Li Chengluo's cuffs had been pulled into a big hole, and it was really rude to wear such clothes and face the saint.
It is clear that the man is deliberately here to find fault.
Zhuang Lai was instantly annoyed, but he couldn't make a move at the first time, they were dressed either rich or expensive, and if he didn't make a good move, it would only cause trouble for the prince.
And today he has a special task that he can't miss.
The man laughed with a ruffian smile and an unapologetic face, "Yo! Isn't this Lord Luo? Excuse me! I didn't pay attention to the road. ”
Su Yuqing didn't recognize the person, but recognized the little brother next to him, who was the bully Laura who gave her trouble last time.
Laura coaxed, "Wang Ganggongzi, you are too modest, he is blessed to be able to bump into you, hahaha!" ”
Wang Gang? The one who can be invited to the palace banquet should be the prime minister's son, yes.
No wonder Lauda, the son of a businessman, dared to be so rampant, it turned out that he had the support of the prime minister behind him.
The two of them are really sleeping dragons and phoenixes, one is more obscene than the other.
Li Chengluo didn't want to pay attention to them, and just as he was about to enter the palace, Wang Gang stopped him.
Wang Gang pointed to his cuffs, "It's not good for Lord Luo to face the saint like this, I still have a plain clothes here, you can wear it and try it!" ”
The gorgeous dress was held in the maid's hand, and there was nothing wrong with it on the surface, but Su Yuqing still smelled the smell on the clothes.
"No need, thank you for your kindness."
Wang Gang laughed again and shouted loudly, wishing that everyone could hear it, "Lord Luo, what's wrong?" In the past, you had to pick up the clothes I dropped in the stinky ditch like a treasure and wear them, why don't you wear them now? ”
Everyone laughed and leaned back, but Li Chengluo still maintained his solemnity.
But Su Yuqing was very uncomfortable listening to these words, no matter how cold-blooded Li Chengluo was, she couldn't watch others maliciously trample on his self-esteem.
She took off her hairpin and cut Wang Gang's sleeve in front of everyone.
Wang Gang shouted, "What are you doing! ”
Laura, who was the younger brother, rushed directly in front of Wang Gang and stretched out her hand to hit Su Yuqing, "I think you are looking for death?" ”
But this hand could not be put down for a long time.
I don't know why Laura was so frightened that her legs trembled when she saw Su Yuqing's eyes.
She exclaimed, but she was unapologetic, "I'm sorry, Wang Gongzi, I didn't see you standing here." ”
The routine she used was the same as Wang Gang's, which was to deliberately find fault.
Wang Gang looked at Laura's raised hand and slapped his head angrily, "Stupid? Do it! What are you waiting for? ”
Lauda bowed his head again and again.
Su Yuqing didn't bother to entangle with them, "Prince Wang should put on that dress by himself." ”
After speaking, Su Yuqing pulled Li Chengluo to the palace.
Li Chengluo's casual smile was noticed by Zhuang Lai.
Zhuang Lai also breathed a sigh of relief, too, with the princess here, who can make the prince suffer.
Inside the Royal Palace.
Resplendent with gold, a big feast, everyone sits on both sides of the main hall, leaving an aisle to watch the song and dance performances.
The emperor is looking at it, and Li Chengluo is here.
The emperor beckoned, "Third child, come and sit beside me." ”
Li Chengluo nodded.
Su Yuqing sat in the originally arranged position.
Directly opposite her was Li Fu Jiang.
Li Fu Jiang didn't raise his head, he kept drinking a pot of wine alone, no matter where she was before, Li Fu Jiang's eyes were on her.
But now he doesn't look at her, thinking that Queen Ma's death will hit him hard.
Wang Gang also entered the table, and as soon as he came in, everyone covered their noses.
Obviously, in order not to lose his manners, he had to put on himself the clothes that had fallen into the stinking gutter.
Wang Gang saw Li Chengluo sitting next to the emperor, and he was even more unconvinced.
He has always been open-mouthed, and now he complains directly, "Prince Luo is really a great blessing, to be able to be by the emperor's side, even the six princes do not have this honor." ”
At this time, the song and dance ended, and the ministers heard Wang Gang's words clearly.
The emperor was so drunk that he heard someone talking about Li Chengluo, so he simply announced an important thing in advance, "Ladies and gentlemen, from now on, I will make Li Chengluo the crown prince." ”
There was a commotion at the feast.
Prime Minister Wang Yanghan is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, the most senior and most prestigious among the ministers, and he is the only one who dares to be this up-and-coming bird at this time.
"No! Your Majesty. Let's not talk about the fact that the crown prince has always been inherited by his son-in-law, even if there is an outstanding prince, he should be the brave and warlike sixth prince Liheng, how can it be ...... How could it be this miscellaneous ......"
Other ministers also stood up one after another, "Your Majesty, the six princes have lived in the military camp since they were children, and their exploits are countless, which are obvious to everyone!" ”
"Now that the six princes are fighting bloodily for Qiao Guo on the border, what have the three princes done?"
If it weren't for the emperor's liking of Li Chengluo, these ministers would have already said that Li Chengluo was a mongrel.
Su Yuqing still couldn't help but sweat for Li Chengluo.
Li Chengluo is weak, first, he can't go out to protect the family, second, he doesn't have any outstanding contributions to the government, and third, his status as a concubine is enough to make everyone dissatisfied with him.
She understands that the emperor likes Li Chengluo, but such an eager approach has pushed Li Chengluo into the public again.
There was a heated discussion here, but there was a scream over there......
"Ahhhh!!!h
"Help! There are snakes...... Snake ......"
Su Yuqing followed the cry and looked over, and a small blue-green snake, as long as a sword, was wrapped around Wang Gang's leg.
Wang Gang was so frightened that he lost his soul, "Save me, save me!" ”
In the blink of an eye, it was no longer a snake, but ten or twenty of them crawling towards the temple.
"Escort Escort!"
Snakes crawled on top of everyone, people struggled and screamed, food was knocked to the ground, and the scene became chaotic.
Li Fu Jiang came out to control the situation, he pulled out his sword, cut the snake when he saw it, and cut off the snake's seven inches with a sword, and then did not move.
The emperor was protected by the guards and evacuated first.
Under the command of Li Fujiang, most of the people also left the danger zone.
Su Yuqing was thinking about the problem, but one hand was grabbed, and the man dragged her out of the hall, "Don't be afraid, follow this king." ”
