Chapter 61: King Lu's Intentions
King Lu was ranked fifth, fell from his horse when he was young, limped a leg, and lived more and more silently.
Zhao Guangyuan has been back to Beijing for more than a month, and he has not seen his fifth brother at several banquets or summons from the palace, but he didn't expect that when he went out, King Lu sent someone.
"I've seen King Yue." The confidant eunuch beside King Lu held a box and gave Zhao Guangyuan a salute.
"No courtesy. Is there something that my Fifth Emperor Brother has ordered? ”
When Zhao Guangyuan saw this eunuch, he was still a little familiar, and when he looked closely, he was actually the little eunuch who had been accompanying the Five Emperor Brothers when he was a child. "It's a ball? Did you follow the fifth brother out of the palace? ”
The little eunuch called Xiao Yuanzi never thought that King Yue still remembered him, and he was suddenly excited, except for King Lu who called him Xiao Yuanzi, few people remembered his old nickname.
Cao Cuo also looked at him closely, hey, it's really a little round!
This kid has been serving King Lu since he was a child, and looking at this dress, it is estimated that he is the same as him, and he is also the head of the palace. I was happy for him in my heart, and felt that King Lu, like the prince of his family, was also a long-term lover.
Seeing that Cao Cuo also recognized himself, Xiao Yuanzi was excited, with a smile on his face, "I didn't expect King Yue to remember the slave." The name of this little round was taken by the queen first. ”
When he first entered the palace, he didn't know what it was to be afraid, he just felt that living in the palace was good and eating well, which was much better than not being able to eat enough in his hometown, and the palace was like heaven.
He felt that everything in the palace was delicious, and he ate too much while eating, and his face was round, so the first queen called him Xiaoyuanzi, and felt that he had a pleasant temperament, so she sent him to take care of King Lu, who had just fallen off the horse.
Speaking of the first queen, the three people present were silent for a while.
Xiao Yuanzi couldn't wait to hit himself in the mouth, how could he sprinkle salt on King Yue's wound. As soon as he recalled the old things, he forgot the pain of King Yue.
"The little ones should be hit." He gently slapped himself twice on the mouth.
Zhao Guangyuan stopped him, "What is the matter with the fifth brother sending you?" He also sent the chief of the palace to come in person.
Xiao Yuanzi pushed the box he was holding to King Yue, "The slave came just in time, otherwise it will be too late, I'm afraid I won't be able to see King Yue." This is a little bit of King Lu's heart. King Lu said that when he was a child, Concubine He Jing had to be taken care of by the queen many times, and he was grateful. The first queen is also gone, he has nothing to repay, these gold and silver things, now the prince is not lacking, let the king of Yue take it first. ”
Cao Cuo was stunned, King Lu, who rarely went out, and King Lu, who didn't care about everything, actually sent a silver ticket to his prince!
Zhao Guangyuan was also stunned, and he was also quite emotional.
Concubine Jing had a low status when she entered the palace, and she had a hard time in the palace. Even if he gave birth to King Lu, he would not be favored, and he would not see the emperor once in January, and King Lu when he was a child was not treated by the emperor. Most of the people in the palace are high and low, or his mother sent people to take care of them a lot, so that the life of the mother and son is a little better.
It was also later that King Lu raced with King Qin and King Chu and others and broke his leg, and his good father gave Concubine Jing the name of a concubine.
It's a pity that Concubine Jing didn't wait for King Lu to get married, and she didn't enjoy the blessings of her children and grandchildren, so she went a few years ago.
Now that his fifth brother is married and has children, although he doesn't like to go out, he heard that life is still good.
Cao Cuo thought that King Lu himself lived like an invisible person, and he was still worried about his prince, and his prince was not short of silver, it was all for others to see, and with King Lu's kindness, he was subconsciously embarrassed to accept this gift.
Pushing with Xiaoyuanzi, Zhao Guangyuan thought about it and motioned for Cao Cuo to accept it.
"The fifth brother's heart, this king accepted it. Today, I am on an errand, and I am anxious to go to the imperial mausoleum, and when I return, I will go to the palace to pay a visit. ”
Xiao Yuanzi saw that King Yue accepted the box, his heart was relieved, and he said with a smile on his face: "Okay, then the slave wishes King Yue a smooth journey." Wait for the prince to return to Beijing, and set a couch to greet him. ”
After Xiao Yuanzi left, Cao Cuo opened the box, counted it, and was very surprised, "Lord Wang, there are 300,000 taels of silver tickets here!" ”
Obediently, this is knowing that his prince borrowed 300,000 taels and asked the prince to redeem the palace?
But what is the relationship between the prince and the Dongsheng pawnshop, the Dongsheng pawnshop was originally the grandfather of the prince, and now Lu Ye has also handed it over to the prince. The prince is just going out with his left hand and entering with his right hand.
This, how can this still accept King Lu's silver?
"Lord Wang, this?"
Zhao Guangyuan sighed softly, "Let's keep it." We'll deal with it when we get back. ”
The fifth brother was afraid that he thought that his situation was similar to his own, and he thought about his kindness when he was a child, so he asked people to send a silver ticket. Although the fifth brother is not good at his work, he is not short of money.
The princess that Queen Shen picked for him has countless properties in her family, although she is not satisfactory in others, but she is rich in money, which makes other princes envious.
The two sent off the little round and left the house.
As soon as he left the mansion, Zhao Guangyuan saw that at the corner gate, a few women were talking to the guards, and when those people saw him, they looked at him and saluted him.
Zhao Guangyuan felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the other party staring at him directly. But I don't care when I see people I don't know. The guards didn't communicate with him, thinking that they were looking for someone from the house.
didn't care much, and Cao Cuo went straight on the horse and left.
On the way to the imperial tomb, the two of them gossiped all the way, still talking about how Empress Shen had assigned a merchant to King Lu.
"Although King Lu's father-in-law is in charge of the family's general affairs and economy, his brother is an official in the court, and he is not a merchant."
Zhao Guangyuan has already made people find out about the situation in his brothers' homes.
Princess Lu Shan, although her father and brother are not in the ranks, her uncles and cousins are all in the ranks. The single father is in charge of the family's economy, and she has no shortage of money in this house. Queen Shen probably also thought about the meaning of letting King Lu be used by the crown prince.
Unexpectedly, King Lu ignored everything, and rarely went out of the door.
"I didn't expect that the one who released the greatest kindness to the prince was King Lu." Such a person thought that there would be no intersection, but he didn't expect that his unusual behavior surprised Cao Cuo.
"Since it is the fifth brother's heart, then let's keep it in mind and find an opportunity to repay one or two in the future."
"Yes."
On the other hand, Mother Lin still chose Zhao Li and wanted to marry Zhao Li. Lin Zhaoxia was in a delicate mood.
Dad Lin is gone, and Mom Lin chooses to reorganize the family with others, which is a normal thing. After all, Lin Ma is still young, she and Lin Yanran will have their own families in the future, and more thoughts will be placed on their own small family, Lin Ma wants to find a companion, which is reasonable.
But emotionally, Lin Zhaoxia is still a little awkward. Zhao Li broke into their lives very abruptly, leaving her unsure of what to do.
Because the two of them didn't want to make a big deal, they only called their close family members to the hotel for a meal, and the two families got to know each other, so they randomly chose a weekend night wine that was convenient for both relatives.
So early this weekend morning, Lin Zhaoxia took Changzhi and drove to Yuhang.
