Chapter 103 - Afternoon tour of South Lake
After Liang Tong finished speaking, his mouth was already dry.
Wei Guifei glanced at Xiuning, the palace maid standing on the side, Xiuning Yingying took a few steps forward and handed a bowl of herbal tea on the table to the sixth prince Liang Tong.
After Liang Tong took it, he was not in a hurry to sip, but stood up and thanked him: "Liang Tong thank you for the tea." ”
Wei Guifei smiled lightly and said, "You kid is a lot of courtesy, hurry up and drink tea." ”
Liang Tong smiled rather reservedly, and gulped down the already cold tea.
After drinking, Liang Tong wiped his mouth with his sleeve, gently put the teacup in his hand on the table, and sat back in the position he had just placed.
Before Liang Tong's ass could sit firmly, he heard Wei Guifei say an extremely damaging word: "Little Liu, you just said so much, why didn't you mention yourself?
Liang Tong felt like a brazier under his buttocks, jumped up immediately, and hurriedly denied: "Liang Tong doesn't dare, I just feel that I can't write or martial arts, and it's hard to speak." There is a virtuous and intelligent fourth brother in the front, and a ninth brother who is both civil and military, Liang Tong really doesn't dare to have superfluous ideas. ”
"Don't dare?" Wei Guifei asked rhetorically, and said in a very cold tone: "Don't you dare, or don't you want to?"
Liang Tong said categorically: "I don't dare, I don't want to." ”
"Oh, why?" asked Wei Guifei with interest, as if she was full of interest in Liang Tong's answer.
Liang Tong smiled lightly, regained his composure as a prince, and said slowly: "Governing the country is a big deal, not child's play, I am used to being free and easy on weekdays, if I am locked up in the palace walls, I will not like it myself, let alone anything else."
In addition, if I sit on the dragon chair, I am afraid that I will become the most hard-working and diligent person in the world, I have been idle and hard-working since I was a child, and I can't stand the worry and hard work, so I naturally don't want to fight for the position of the prince. ”
Wei Guifei smiled and continued to ask, "Then who do you think will finally be able to enter the East Palace?"
Liang Tong replied without thinking about it: "Naturally, it's the ninth brother." The ninth brother is talented, intelligent, civil and military, and has the assistance of the Shanghu Army and the leaders of the Wei family, so he will definitely be able to sit firmly in the East Palace. ”
Wei Guifei smiled, her face was like a blooming peony, graceful, beautiful and generous.
After a long while, Wei Guifei restrained her smile and said lightly: "You kid will laugh, even if Si'er is excellent, he will not become a prince, after all, since ancient times, there have been rules that establish a long man or not a virtuous person, and a descendant or not a concubine, you as a brother only need to be close to him, don't talk too much about these gossips." ”
Liang Tong nodded very obediently, and replied in a low voice: "Liang Tong must be closer to the ninth brother." ”
After Wei Guifei received an affirmative answer, she asked with a smile on her face: "Then what are your plans in the future?" Do you want to go to the local domain, or stay in the capital to enjoy the blessings of Qingfu, or do something else to make contributions to the imperial court?"
Liang Tong thought for a few breaths, and said very tactfully: "It's all up to my father's arrangement, if you arrange for me to go to the domain, then I will go, if you arrange for me to stay in the capital, then I have nothing to say." ”
Wei Guifei's eyes turned cold slightly, her voice raised slightly, and she asked, "Aren't you going to leave a mark in the history books?"
Liang Tong smiled rather distressedly and said: "I know my temperament too well, and I really can't use it, so I don't have the luxury of leaving a page in the history books, and I don't want future generations to see me so lazy." ”
Wei Guifei's eyes were completely cold, and she asked in a somewhat stiff voice, "Have you ever thought of staying in the capital to assist Si'er?"
Liang Tong's expression was very solemn, and he said in a serious tone: "If my father orders me to stay in the capital, I will definitely be the ninth brother's pawn and help him clear the obstacles; ”
Although the sixth prince's answer was a little ambiguous, it also made Wei Guifei relax and reduce a trace of murderous aura.
Speaking of which, it's time to end, but by whom or in what way should this conversation, which is called narrative and actually tentative, end?
Wei Guifei regained her previous amiability and gentleness, and said softly to Liang Tong: "I heard about your mother's concubine, and I am really sad in my heart, and I have complained that your father is too ruthless, but as a son of man, don't hate him too much, let go of the pain earlier, and don't indulge in resentment." ”
Liang Tong's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he said in a trembling voice: "Thank you for your love, Liang Tong will definitely repay you." ”
Wei Guifei stretched out her hand and stroked the hair of the sixth prince, and said very distressedly: "I have a great relationship with your mother, when there is no one, you can call me Aunt Wei, if there is any difficulty in the future, send someone to inform me, if I can help you, I will definitely help." ”
Liang Tong hesitated for a moment, and shouted "Aunt Wei" with emotion, and after shouting, he couldn't stop choking, as if he was really moved by this warmth.
Wei Guifei calmed down for a while, the mood of the six princes slowly stabilized, the two talked a few more words, and Liang Tong went out of the hall under the leadership of the palace maid Xiuning.
When Liang Tong's figure disappeared into the main hall, Wei Guifei's eyes were as sharp as knives, and she muttered in her mouth: "It seems that it will take some means to subdue this little six, it doesn't matter, this palace has time and means." ”
Wei Guifei waved her left hand slightly, and a mysterious shadow appeared in the hall, and bowed very respectfully to Wei Guifei.
Wei Guifei commanded in a cold tone: "Keep an eye on Liang Tong, I want to know his every move, if something goes wrong, you and the sect behind you will not be able to escape the involvement." ”
The shadow voice answered hoarsely, and then its figure flickered and disappeared into the main hall.
When the palace maid Xiuning returned to the palace, Wei Guifei was already leaning lazily on the Xiu bed as usual, and asked in a lazy tone: "Xiuning, how much do you think Xiaoliu can believe what he said?"
The delicate palace maid, who was as quiet as water, thought for a while, and said softly: "The slave maid thinks that seventy percent of it is true. ”
"Oh, which three percent are fake?"
"I don't covet the prince. ”
Wei Guifei smiled lightly and said: "As a prince, who is not ambitious? It depends on whether they can see the situation clearly, if they know the balance and know how to avoid concessions, they will become a great treasure in the future, and their wealth and nobility are naturally indispensable, if they dare to be the roadblock, they will not blame the palace for being ruthless." ”
Before she finished speaking, Wei Guifei was already murderous, and the entire hall was a little colder, as if winter had already advanced.
It is said that when the sixth prince Liang Tong left the scope of Wutong Palace, he only felt that his body was wet and sticky, and he was blown by the autumn wind on a stone road, and his whole body suddenly felt cold, and he shivered freely.
The shadow hidden in the corner saw all this, and the corners of his mouth under the black veil curled slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile.
......
Jiaxing, thousands of miles away.
Perhaps last night's training was too intense, and when he walked three shots a day, Meng Ran was still asleep.
The maid Luping was very worried about Meng Ran's body, and asked Geng Huyuan and Li Haoran back and forth several times, and her round face was overflowing with concern.
In contrast, Geng Huyuan just committed suicide to appease her and persuade her not to worry.
As for Li Haoran, who is old and uncultivated, he naturally said some strange things, which made the maid's cheeks dizzy and her eyes filled with spring water.
At around midnight, Meng Ran woke up from his sleep, looking unfinished.
With the help of the green screen, Meng Ran put on his clothes, washed up, and then walked out of the house.
In the hall of the front yard, Meng Ran sat there with a tired face, eating the porridge sent by the maid without a bite, and he looked very unappetizing.
Green Screen looked at Meng Ran's appearance, and asked very distressedly: "Young Master, are you uncomfortable?
After a few breaths, Meng Ran suddenly came back to his senses and asked softly, "Green Screen, what did you just say?"
The distress on the maid's face was even deeper, her eyes quietly became moist, and she said softly: "Young master, are you feeling unwell?
Meng Ran shook his head with a smile and said, "It's not uncomfortable, it's just a little tired, just take a break, it's no big deal." ”
The green screen looks like it wants to talk and stops.
Meng Ran forcibly cheered up, smiled heartily at the maid, and pretended to be relaxed: "It's really okay, it's just too tired, maybe it will be better to go bask in the sun after eating." ”
The green screen hummed softly, but the worry on his face did not subside.
After the meal, Meng Ran went to the backyard with the green screen.
At this time, the backyard of Mengfu was very lively, and those who were recuperating from injuries, chatting, and teaching martial arts and swordsmanship were not as cold as in the past.
Seeing Meng Ran appear, Li Haoran smiled and teased: "Meng boy, I thought you wouldn't wake up before noon, but I didn't expect to get up so early." ”
Meng Ran said shyly: "Let the seniors laugh, I only feel tired and very uncomfortable." ”
Geng Huyuan didn't wait for Li Haoran to continue speaking, and interjected: "The normal reaction after the first medicinal bath, don't worry. You can rest today and continue tomorrow. ”
Meng Ran responded, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said, "Okay, I'll go to sleep later." ”
Geng Huyuan shook his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Don't stay in bed for too long, it's best to go out for a walk, and rest after the effect of the medicine has passed." ”
Meng Ran scratched his sideburns and muttered, "I can't sleep yet, so what should I do?"
Meng Ran, who thought for a while and still had no result, stretched his waist, turned to look at the maid, and asked softly: "Green screen, you are familiar with Jiaxing City, do you have any good suggestions?"
The maid tilted her head and thought for a moment, and replied softly: "Let's go to the lake, and then go to the small island in the lake to take a turn, which can not only play the effect of the medicinal bath, but also relieve your mood, killing two birds with one stone." ”
Meng Ran agreed without thinking about it: "Good idea, then we will go to the lake in the evening, you first count the number of people who go to the lake, and then let Lao Han arrange the boat, and then let the kitchen prepare a little food." ”
"Okay, young master. ”
The green screen replied and left the backyard with light steps.
