Chapter 136: Divergence
This year is the same, on the 26th day of the first month, Xiao Yuanjin entered the palace early, first kowtowed to his titular grandmother Empress Dowager Da Lu, his biological father His Majesty the Emperor, and his late biological mother, and then received a reward from the palace triumvirate in his own bedroom.
Since he has been staying in the Zhenbei Wangfu recently, Xiao Lu didn't even let the imperial dining room add food to him at noon today as is customary in previous years.
But on this day, how could Xiao Yuanjin not accompany the emperor to have a meal in the palace? Xiao Lu knew that he would definitely have lunch in the palace today, but he still used this as an excuse and deliberately did not add food to him.
The emperor was well aware of her thoughts, so after the meal was served, his face suddenly became ugly.
However, Xiao Yuanjin still had the same smile as before, he held his emperor's father's hand to comfort him, "Zizhen has prepared for me, not only a sumptuous dinner, but also my favorite cream cake." ”
The emperor took a deep breath and decided to continue to keep his good mood for the sake of his son's face.
He asked with some curiosity, "Cream cake?" What's that? ”
Xiao Yuanjin smiled, "A soft and sweet pastry with a delicate and dense taste, according to Zizhen, it is made of milk, flour, eggs and other things. ”
When the emperor heard this, he was immediately uninterested, he was different from Xiao Yuanjin, he loved salty and couldn't eat sweet.
After the father and son had lunch together, the emperor asked Xiao Yuanjin, "You don't plan to live back in the palace yet?" ”
Xiao Yuanjin nodded, "Erchen has recently become obsessed with reading scripts, and Zizhen has a lot of novelty scripts that can't be bought on the market. ”
Having said that, the emperor knew that Xiao Yuanjin was telling him that he had not finished learning his swordsmanship.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, when he and Xiao Yuanjin met, Xiao Yuanjin was talking about the script, but in fact, he used his right hand as a pen and quietly wrote a sword word in the palm of his left hand.
The emperor patted Xiao Yuanjin on the shoulder, "It's rare that you like a certain pastime, then you can play in Zhenbei Wangfu for a few more days." ”
Xiao Yuanjin's eyebrows and eyes were crooked with a smile, "The ministers will leave the palace after taking a nap." You don't know, Zizhen has a lot of things to play with. During this time, I learned from her how to throw pots, fight grass, smoke spinning tops, shake empty bamboo, push jujube grinding, and he also gave me grinding and drinking, bamboo dragonflies, Huarong Dao, and Luban locks."
Xiao Yuanjin said patiently, he knew that his father was actually a poor baby with no childhood, these small games and toys that folk children were used to, didn't his father say that he had never seen any of them, at least ninety percent of them had definitely not seen them.
The conversation between the father and son was quickly spread to the Queen Mother Da Lu and the Empress Xiao Lu, and the two actually didn't want to catch just a sheep hair, but who made them have no way to inquire about the news from the iron bucket-like Zhenbei Palace.
Not to mention how shrewd and capable the two big housekeepers of Zhenbei Wangfu were, Mr. Jiang gave birth to a seven-trick exquisite heart, just said that Yu Zizhen, who has his own plug-in system, has a system to make a high-tech version of clairvoyance and shunfeng ears for her, no matter how good the inner ghost is, he can't break through the surveillance, and the gods and ghosts don't know how to approach the Sanjin Courtyard that she has zoned as her own territory.
Those who are qualified to enter and exit the Sanjin Hospital, all of them have been closely monitored by the Xiao Milk Sound system for more than half a year, and the system character cards show that they have a very high opinion of her, and it may be difficult to say what will happen to these people in the future, but at least they will definitely not betray Yu Zizhen in the near future.
As for Xiao Yuanjin's entourage of guards and palace people, except for the two Xiao Yuanjin who can definitely be trusted, the others Yu Zizhen were also placed in the first and second courtyards of the palace.
Not to mention Lu Mingxuan, who was close to Yu Zizhen, and the martial arts training ground next to them, they had to go through layers of notifications even to enter the Sanjin Courtyard.
Such a hard-core physical isolation method directly blocked all the eyeliner that the Lu clan might use from the Sanjin Courtyard, making it impossible for them to provide any useful information to the Lu clan at all.
The Lu clan is not good at tearing up their faces with the Zhenbei Wangfu now, so they can only take a detour and continue to focus on Xiao Yuanjin and the emperor.
They comforted themselves, anyway, Xiao Yuanjin couldn't live in the Zhenbei Mansion all the time, he always had to go back to the palace, so they would get information from the palace then.
Although it is inevitable that there will be a lag in the message, who can't let their hands stretch out that long.
Receiving the news from the eyeliner, the reactions of the Queen Mother Da Lu and the Empress Xiao Lu are still completely different.
The Empress Dowager Da Lu was happy, but she actually had some doubts about Xiao Yuanjin's self-statement. She felt that with Xiao Yuanjin's character, he should not change from an old pedant to an unprofessional and just a playful person so quickly.
The queen Xiao Lu laughed heartily, and she instructed her confidant and palace maid who she brought into the palace from her mother's house, "Go and send a message to Lu Heng, so that he and the kid from the Wanjia family will take our eldest prince and the prince of Zhenbei to have fun in the future." ”
The palace maid was about to respond, when she heard Xiao Lu say a few words meaningfully.
"It's boring to read the script, throw pots, and fight grass, and it's even less fun to grind and drink and bamboo dragonflies. Isn't it more fun to listen to operas, listen to music, listen to stories, fight cocks, fight crickets, bet on horses, shake dice, and push pai gow. ”
The palace maid's heart sank, and she immediately understood Xiao Lu's vicious thoughts, she didn't dare to raise her head in response, and then took the sign in person and went back to Lu's house to pass the word to Lu Heng.
She didn't dare to say anything about Xiao Lu's decision, but Lu Heng and his mother were directly angry by Xiao Lu's bad idea.
The eldest prince and the prince of Zhenbei are still children, easy to get into bad habits and ruin their lives, is her son very old?
The premise of leading others to play is that her son himself is involved, otherwise why would her son bring others to that kind of occasion?
Not to mention that the eldest prince and Yu Zizhen may not be fooled, even if they are willing to be fooled, won't her son also indulge in it?
She is a good child, but she can't let Xiao Lu's bad thing be ruined. This kind of thing of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred self-inflicted damage, her son must not do it!
Lu Heng's mother wanted to protect her son, but Lu Heng's father Lu Wei didn't listen to his daughter-in-law at all.
Because Cheng'en Gong Lu Tong felt that Xiao Lu's idea was very good, he agreed with Lu Heng to do it, so Lu Wei did not hesitate to push his son out as a pawn.
In Lu Wei's view, this is a great opportunity for Lu Heng to make contributions to the family and increase the right to speak for the third room, it is a pity to miss it, as for whether Lu Heng will be obsessed with those things because of this, and whether he will become an unsuccessful child, Lu Wei said that anyway, Lu Heng is only the second son of the third room, even if he has no interest, it is not a big problem.
