Chapter 113: Stern life

Jiang Xiaolou crossed the stone bridge, walked slowly along the cedar forest, and stepped into the courtyard. There is a large cinnamomum camphora more than a hundred years old in the courtyard. The trunk can only be folded and hugged by two or three people. Next to it is a flower garden where rare herbs are planted. The flower garden is surrounded by strange stones. Interesting. A piece of green bamboo outside the window is very elegant.
Huai'an, in a short shirt, was waiting at the door and saw Jiang Xiaolou entering the door and hurriedly greeted him: "The son is waiting for you."
Jiang Xiaolou nodded slightly, then passed him and pushed the door in.
Xie Liancheng was sitting at the table. He seemed to have just bathed. His eyes were moisturized, and his body exuded a faint fragrance of saponaria, but it was difficult to conceal the smell in the room. At this moment, his complexion has returned to normal, there is no longer a trace of decadence in his eyes, and a faint smile is on his lips: "I'm back."
He seemed to have guessed where she went and what she was going to do-this person is really too smart, too smart.
On the floor of Jiang Xiao, there was only a light cloud: "Is the son better?"
A complex trance appeared in Xie Liancheng's eyes: "I didn't have any serious problems at first, it was because they made a lot of fuss. Mother-how is it?"
Jiang Xiaolou smiled: "Master Jingkong is so safe, she asked me to bring you a greeting."
Xie Liancheng took a deep breath, his eyes deep: "You should have guessed why those people are killing me."
Jiang Xiaolou's heart jumped suddenly, and he sighed slightly: "I don't know, Master Jingkong thinks this is because you participated in my affairs and broke your vow."
She didn't know what she was expecting vaguely, but she knew that the moment the heart beats for an instant, it brought a strange feeling.
Xie Liancheng watched her for a long time, with a ripple in his eyes, but after layers of dyeing, he recovered calmly: "It's a matter of time for those people to find me. It has nothing to do with you, so don't worry about it."
"If it doesn't matter, Master Jingkong won't say that. She is not someone who will wrong me casually. Is it worth it for the son to help me?" Such questions hovered on his lips countless times, and he always wanted to ask, but Never uttered half a word. So the question slowly settled in the blood, causing her whole body to shudder involuntarily to restrain the urge to ask. However, no matter what she thought, her face was so calm and unhappy.
Xie Liancheng clearly understood her inner thoughts, but her face was flat: "I will judge whether it is worth it or not, and I don't need others to judge it."
Jiang Xiaolou couldn't tell whether the feelings that filled his heart in an instant were disappointment or something else, but a thought flashed through, and the reason he wanted to know suddenly became irrelevant. The handsome and vulgar Young Master Pian Pian realized from the first time that he had rescued her three times, but he never repaid the favor. Jiang Xiaolou has become accustomed to a life of calculation. She gives something and gets more. This is the equivalent exchange of benefits. But when a person does not speak to her, or even hides her deeds everywhere, she suddenly feels a little confused. .
What is this person thinking? What will be the secret he has been hiding?
When Jiang Xiaolou came to visit Xie Liancheng again in the morning of the second day, the guest room was empty, and even Huai'an disappeared. Mr. Tai Wu rushed over and immediately said with great regret: "Master Xie has already left."
"Go, where did he go?"
"This..." Mr. Tai Wu looked embarrassed and seemed to hesitate, "I persuaded him to take care of the injury, but he was reluctant to do so. I don't know what is urgent that would make him leave everything here immediately. Go. Hey, I don't understand this kid either."
Jiang Xiaolou thought about it for a moment, and then sighed slightly. If he is unwilling to get involved in these complicated affairs, she hopes that he can have a safe life from now on, and don't be burdened by himself anymore.
So, she said in a very low voice: "Mr. bothered." Sincerely thanking Mr. Taiwu, she went out without hesitation.
At the same time, a very simple-looking Wupen carriage stopped at the gate of the palace. Huai'an poked his head out of the carriage and took a look at the heavily armed palace guard, and then looked back at Xie Liancheng, his face full of Hesitating: "My son, do you really want to do this?"
The smile on Xie Liancheng’s lips was weak, but his voice was quiet: "Fate is inevitable. I must face my life directly, no matter what is waiting for me in front of me."
Huai'an was anxious, and subconsciously rubbed his hands until his palms were hot: "But son, we have all been hiding for so long, and now we suddenly ran into the palace. It would be really dangerous if we were seen by someone with a heart!"
Hearing what he said, Xie Liancheng's smile became deeper, but his expression became calmer. He took out a jade dragon with one hand and gave it to him. The jade dragon was green in color, its head resembled a horse's head, its horns resembled a horse's mane, its eyes were piercing, and its abdomen was sharp. It resembles a snake's belly, with fire moire patterns all over the body, which is unique. The dragon's head has a small hole, which should have been hung around the neck with a rope.
Huai'an clenched the Yulong in his hand, and had no choice but to jump out of the carriage and walk towards the Imperial Forest Army step by step. When he walked to the gate of the palace and faced the fierce cold light, he showed the jade dragon in his hand and said coldly: "My son, please see your majesty."
The Yulin Army glanced at each other, almost thinking that the young man was crazy, but when they could see the words "Ten Years of Ordinary Baoping" on the back of the Yulong, everyone's expressions changed.
In the palace, the emperor saw the jade dragon, and his whole body was trembling with excitement for a moment: "It's him, it's really him! Let him in!"
Slowly walked all the way from the outside into the hall, full of eaves and roofs, white marble steps were carved with double dragons and opera beads, and at both ends were the five blessings and eight immortals. The platform in front of the main hall is surrounded by tall stone fences on three sides, and the stone lions on the heads of the eighteen pillars are of different shapes. Walking into the outer hall of Yong'an Palace, there are seventy-two large pillars within sight. There is a golden dragon on the top of the pillars. The Xuanyuan mirrors hanging from their mouths reflect the rays of the sun, illuminating the entire hall. .
The cloisonné enamel double crane incense burner slowly emits dragon sandalwood incense, which makes you feel like you are in a fairyland. Looking at the young man who appeared at the door, the emperor was so excited that he choked with excitement. He stood up from the throne in disbelief: "Like, like, it's so alike!"
His memory instantly went back to many years ago, it was a very cold night, and he slowly walked into a deserted yard. The door was ajar, he stood at the door for a long time, and finally pushed in. Behind the door was gloomy, with no brazier for heating and no maid waiting. He only felt an indescribable tingling in his heart, but he still came to the bed step by step. The person on the bed curled up in the bedding that exuded a gloomy smell, breathing heavily, like an old bellows.
He smelled an indescribable smell, like the damp and cold air on a rainy day, and the obscure smell of a red candle. No, this was the smell of death. He stood in front of the bed without saying a word, not knowing what he should say, let alone what he should say.
The person on the bed was originally lying with his back facing outward, but suddenly seemed to have discovered something and turned over with difficulty.
In the darkness, he stared at the man who had shaken the world.
Suddenly, a stormy fear hit his heart, causing him to flee almost subconsciously.
The other party only smiled slightly, the laughter seemed extremely contemptuous: "So it's you."
The voice was extremely hoarse and exhausted, but it was as deep as he remembered. He couldn't make a sound in an instant, as if he had become insignificant and pitiful. He gritted his teeth and stared at the thin, almost skinny person, who was obviously so vulnerable and about to die, why was he so afraid? !
"You will be a good emperor." Without waiting for him to attack, the person on the bed suddenly spoke quietly, and then suddenly coughed violently, and the face that had been dead white appeared strange flushing.
Thinking of the past wandering in his sleep countless times, the emperor's eyes flashed with an obscurity. He looked at the people walking in from the light, but he didn't know why his heart was immersed in oil, hot and boiling, and his eyes became sore inexplicably...
"You are here, I know you will come back one day." The emperor heard himself saying this, the voice was so vast and long, it almost didn't seem to come from his throat...
Qing Palace
He Liansheng sat in the flower hall with a stern expression, his face particularly gloomy. He was stranded at the Yamen for busy work, but the bronze mirror in the room that morning suddenly fell to pieces. At that time, he vaguely realized that this was not a good omen. As expected, his family members came to report to him that Aunt Shun had fallen. Drowned in the cesspool. Hurrying back to the palace, he ran into the king of Qingyuan County He Liantai before entering the door, and was mocked by him. He Liansheng's heart seemed to be gripped by an iron hand, and he could hardly breathe in pain.
She avoided meeting, just because the matter had to be handled calmly. The more she interceded, the worse it was. Originally, she planned to intercede for Aunt Shun again when the circumstances passed, but she never expected that the other party would die in such an unexplained manner.
Zuo Xuan just walked into the flower hall and saw him sitting there. She didn't realize that her face was slightly dark, and she passed him directly.
"Stop, where did you go?"
As soon as He Liansheng spoke, Zuo Xuan stopped. Turning his head to look at him, with a smile: "In a few days it will be the prince's fiftieth birthday. I am ordered by the princess to prepare the prince's birthday feast."
"Mother just died, you still have the mind to help others prepare for their birthday feasts, you are really free!" He Liansheng's handsome face was pale, and the words almost popped out of his teeth.
Zuo Xuan's heart rushed straight up, almost angered, but she quickly remembered Jiang Xiaolou's instructions, and forced down her breath, but held her lips up and said: "There is only one princess in the palace, I There is only one decent mother-in-law. The princess is now in good health. I advise her husband to be cautious in her words and deeds and refrain from cursing her aunt."
He Liansheng's anger was hard to suppress, and he slapped the table abruptly, almost shaking the tea cup: "Zuo Xuan, don't worry about him, you know I'm talking about Aunt Shun!"
"Oh, originally it was auntie Shun, and the husband shouldn't say the word "mother". After all, the palace is a well-regulated place. If people hear it, you may make a joke. You don't know how serious it is. A slave is a life or death. What matters, don't we have to keep filial piety for her?" Zuoxuan's words and sentences are all understatement, and the implicit ridicule is overwhelming.
"Shut up!" He Liansheng's forehead blue veins violently, he stood up suddenly, raised his palms all at once, and was about to fall heavily.
Zuo Xuan Yang looked at him with his face up, his eyes were amazingly bright, and his voice was even more fearless: "Fight, hit your face! If you slap you, I just have an excuse to talk to my parents!"
He Liansheng's fingers were suddenly clenched into fists, the joints violently protruded, and the faint noise was made, and the eyes staring at her became more gloomy: "I remind you, husband and wife are birds of the same forest, can you really fly alone when disaster comes? You have been branded as the Princess of Anhua County, no matter where you go, no one will forget your identity!"
He was right. Zuo Xuan was indeed the princess of Anhua County. This fact could not be changed anyway. Zuo Xuan raised her eyebrows: "My husband, as long as I can see you are unlucky and painful, even if I don't eat or drink water, I can't sleep happily every day!"
Hearing this, He Liansheng suddenly laughed strangely. His face was originally very beautiful, but when this strange smile appeared on his face, his face suddenly became gloomy and terrifying. With his looks and talents, what did he spend so much thinking about marrying a daughter with a tumor on his neck? Not just the status of the Zuo family, but the power of the Bachelor! But he never dreamed that he would fall into such a situation that is not embarrassing or embarrassing. Everyone in the court believed that he was just the concubine of King Qing. He was favored by his relatives. After being promoted twice, he did not know how high or low he was. They looked down on him from the crack in the door! Now that those people know that Concubine Shun is losing power, all kinds of discussions have suddenly risen. What was originally flattering is now a black-eyed chicken, all comforting, but behind it is infinite ridicule. On weekdays, he has a yin and yang face, and he even hopes to step on his spine. The best thing to help his wife is either cynicism or anger. What kind of stuff is he marrying? What kind of aggrieved life he is living! At this time, He Liansheng had no idea how he treated Zuo Xuan at the beginning, and only blamed all the guilt on the opponent.
His eyes were extremely fierce: "You go back to the bachelor's house immediately and tell your father and eldest brother. If you instigate people to run me, don't blame my ruthless men!"
"My father and brother are just holding injustices for me, not to mention, if you sit upright, you are afraid who will run you?" Zuo Xuan would go back and cry every few days, causing the Zuo family to be extremely angry. A warning to He's winning streak, it is obvious that he regards this as a deliberate target, clearly narrow-minded.
He Liansheng's face was pale, almost a wolf staring at Zuo Xuan, but slowly, his expression changed and his tone softened: "Xuan'er, we are a husband and wife, I am in a very bad situation now. Can't you let go of the estrangement and prejudice for my sake? Jiang Xiaolou is cunning by nature and is best at trying to figure out people's minds. She is good at you and is using you. She wants to separate the relationship between our husband and wife so as to deal with me. Purpose. Think about it, if I fall, how will you deal with yourself next? You are the daughter of the bachelor's house, and your father's old-fashioned will never agree with you to remarry. You must guard me. Only if I have a smooth career, you can be honored. Well, everything in the past is blamed on me for being bad. It is because I love those two cheap servants that I will anger you. From now on, I will renew myself, and I will only hurt I spoil you alone."
Zuo Xuan was taken aback. She had never seen He Liansheng ever subdued, nor did she see him bow her head to herself. He was so invincible at all times, as if marrying herself was a noble dignity.
Seeing the other party's silent expression and a strange expression, He Liansheng vaguely felt that he had a great chance. He actually threw a plop and knelt directly on the bluestone ground. He stared at Zuo Xuan with an extremely solemn expression: "My wife, I forgot to treat you. Commitment, forget your and my relationship between husband and wife, day by day I become incompetent, incompetent, deviant, so that the husband and wife are at odds, and the feelings are alienated! It is my sins and my inhumanity. Now I only ask you to give me a regret. Opportunity, don't give up on me!"
As he spoke, his voice had become extremely hoarse, his fingers were trembling constantly, and his voice seemed to choke back and forth. Zuo Xuan took a step back subconsciously, but he suddenly clasped the other's hand, two lines of murky tears slowly flowed down, with a sincere appearance: "As long as you help me through the difficulties, from now on I will listen to you. of!"
Zuo Xuan stared at him for a long time without speaking. He Liansheng burst into tears and burst into tears. She looked distressed, and she couldn't help but distrust... She moved a little, and she couldn't bear to say: "You get up first."
"No, if you refuse to forgive, then I will kneel down!"
Zuo Xuan's face turned pale, and the blood in her whole body seemed to rush to the top of her head. After a long time, she heard her own voice and said slowly: "Okay, I forgive you, get up first."
He Liansheng got up and took Zuo Xuan into his arms. When his neck accidentally leaned against the opponent's neck, he immediately felt the nodule, and involuntarily nausea appeared, but the smile on his face became more gentle and affectionate. : "It's good if you are willing to forgive me. Our husband and wife work together, and are afraid that nothing will happen?"
After He Liansheng comforted Zuo Xuan, she went out and went straight to the Qiuxiayuan of Princess Danfeng. There is a bluestone road in the yard, with begonia planted on both sides, the flower buds are red and bright, the rouge is dotted, twists and turns, layered and spread, like a sky full of red clouds. Although Begonia vulgaris is beautiful but has no fragrance, these Begonia flowers are not only very beautiful, but also have a fragrant fragrance. It is winter now, but Haitang is in full bloom against the laws of nature. It can be seen that it has been preserved using extremely rare methods. Seeing him coming in, the maid greeted him respectfully. He coldly asked, "Where is the young lady?"
The maid hurriedly said, "Miss is in the house."
He Liansheng gave a cold snort and walked in quickly. He opened the blue colored embroidered Danfeng Chaoyang curtain and entered the room. The room was brightly lit, and He Lianxiao was sitting in front of the embroidery stretcher embroidering something.
"Do you still think about embroidery?" He Liansheng's voice suddenly became octave cold.
Hearing this, Helian smiled and was startled. He raised his head and saw him, his heart cried out, but he quickly got up to greet him: "Second brother, why are you here?"
He Liansheng is busy with foreign affairs on weekdays and would not easily come to this yard. The smile on his lips was extremely cold, and his tone no longer had the hypocrisy when he talked to Zuo Xuan, and said straightforwardly: "I'm just here to see my sister, can't you?"
He walked to the embroidered stretch, bowed his head and stroked the red jacquard brocade. The front of the front was filled with large begonia flowers enchantingly. The center of each flower was embedded with round and dazzling pearls. The collar and cuffs were extremely luxurious water patterns. . Ling needle embroidery, nail bead embroidery, pan gold three-dimensional embroidery, up and down stitch embroidery...Almost conceivable embroidery methods have been flexibly applied to this wedding dress. It can be seen how hard the people embroidering the wedding dress are, almost Pour all the hard work.
"This wedding dress is really beautiful and tight. I heard that the pearls on it were sent by Princess Qing herself."
"Yes, this pearl is round in color, full of pearls, and all the same size, it is really rare..." Helian laughed with a hint of satisfaction in his voice.
"I haven't seen it for many days, my sister's ability to recognize a thief as a mother has increased!" He Liansheng's fingers rubbed the exquisite and gorgeous embroidery, his expression is not so good.
Helian smiled when he heard something wrong, and the smile on his face suddenly faded: "Second brother, what does this mean?"
He Liansheng’s eyes were dyed with a thick frost color: "My mother died so miserably, but you can accept the gift of your enemy without blushing and heartbeat. Fortunately, you are sitting here embroidering your dowry. I really wait for you to become a prince. I'm afraid I can't remember my brother even more!"
He Lian's heart jumped with a smile, and the circles under her eyes turned red. Looking at He Liansheng, she wailed: "Second brother, don't say this--"
The more He Liansheng looked at the blooming Begonia, the more angry he got, he even pulled out the dagger around his waist and suddenly made a stroke on the embroidered stretch. The wedding dress that was about to be completed immediately became messy and sloppy.
He Lianxiao screamed in an instant, rushed to hug his wrist, fingers were so hard, his knuckles turned white: "Second brother, no, no! I embroidered this wedding dress for a whole year. One year! You can beat and scold me when you are angry, how can you ruin my efforts!"
He Liansheng suddenly turned his head, staring at her with dark eyes: "I just want to tell you that even if you become the third prince, you can't change our status as a concubine!"
"What about the uncle! Second brother, now I am about to get married, don't make any more trouble!" Helian smiled as he watched the ruined wedding dress and tears rolled, loosened He's winning streak and pulled the wedding dress into hug. It's tight, a look of distress to the extreme, and anger is already in his mouth.
"You just think of yourself!" He Liansheng was almost stern, "Don't you know how your mother died? She fell into a cesspit and was covered in dirt! When the body was collected, her nose, mouth and even her stomach It's full of feces, and you can imagine how painful my heart is! She is our mother, can you be indifferent and just want to marry all day long?"
Helian smiled and hugged her wedding dress like a knife. Her wedding dress chose hundreds of different patterns. In order to find the right pearl, she almost tried her best to find it from Princess Qing. It took a whole year to embroider one hundred and eight baby beads of the same size with their own carefully designed embroidery workers. When they are married, they must be beautiful and stunning, but they can be seen in a blink of an eye. This wedding dress, which had devoted countless efforts, turned into beautiful ashes, and her heart was dripping blood. However, He Liansheng is her own brother. She is full of hatred in her heart, but she does not dare to confront her face to face. She is sad and infinite: "My mother loses all the games by accident, and who can be blamed! If I risk it now But if I did it, I was afraid that the princess would interfere with the marriage on the grounds that I didn’t abide by my boudoir! Since I was a kid, I knew that I was a concubine. I didn’t know how much work it took to get ahead. Later, my father found me easily This family-in-law, seeing my dream come true, how could my second brother do something bad for me!"
Although Helianxiao is the biological daughter of King Qing, she is a concubine after all. Shun Ruyi didn't know how much it took to get King Qing to ask the emperor for this marriage. Helian laughed and climbed the three princes, thinking about the day of marriage. In this case, of course she would be sincere and cautious, for fear that someone would make trouble with her on the bones. If she fails to marry the third prince, who will be responsible for the rest of her life?
He Liansheng became angry for a while: "Even so, you can ignore the hatred of your mother for yourself?"
"Where did I say no revenge, but now is a critical moment. We don’t know how much time we spent today. How can we just give up? Brother, you are the person who knows me the best in the world. In order to get today’s status and power, you even Marrying a woman like that, how can you come to accuse me today?" Helian smiled, eyes were red, tears filled, and the clothes were wet.
He Liansheng was dumb for a while, staring at her speechlessly.
Helian smiled when he saw that the other side was blue and white, and he was obviously angry. His heart moved slightly, and his long eyelashes were hanging down. He became more and more pitiful: "Second brother, you should be pitiful and pity me, don't blame me anymore. We are a mother, brother and sister, how can we blame each other and let others take advantage?"
He Liansheng stopped talking, but slowly sat down, and the anger on his face gradually subsided.
Helian smiled at the opportunity and immediately said softly: "Second brother came in a hurry, haven't you eaten yet?" After speaking, she winked at the maid: "Don't hurry to prepare!"
The maid quickly came in with a food container, and then gently brought out the dishes inside. He Liansheng took a look, golden silk taro balls, lily aloe vera, sweet and sour lotus root slices, golden needles and Chuan sun, assorted vegetarian dishes, the only dish of meat dishes contained only a few shredded pork, which looked very pale.
He Liansheng looked gloomy: "What's going on?"
Helian smiled with an aggrieved look: "Second brother really thinks that the princess treats me well? It's just a superficial effort to show others! You are eating outside, so you don’t know. It’s glorious and extravagant. Every yard should take her as a lesson and cut expenses. I will naturally bear the brunt... But there is nowhere to complain about this grievance!"
The food was on the table. He Liansheng didn't move his chopsticks. He just listened to He Liansheng's words and slowly stood up and said, "The wall is down and everyone pushes it. It's a famous saying."
Helian smiled and sighed softly: "It's good for the second brother to understand. After I get married, I will be able to control the third prince, and then..."
"No, it's too late!" He Liansheng, who was originally calm and wise, already had a burning fire in his heart, spewing out heat and sparks.
"Second brother, what do you want to do?" He Lianxiao deliberately shifted He Liansheng's anger, but keenly noticed the change in the opponent's expression, a trace of anxiety surged in his heart.
He Liansheng’s smile slowly appeared on his lips. The smile was so weird that it was difficult to look directly at him: "Sister, I have a way to ruin Jiang Xiaolou and get out of Qing Palace completely from then on. Without her support. The princess is just a muddy bodhisattva, understand?"
He Lianxiao saw He Liansheng's eyes gloomy and couldn't help feeling nervous.
Seeing her pale, He Liansheng smiled: "Your Majesty likes to listen to dramas, especially those actors who are both superb and beautiful. Wang Zhaoyi and Zhao Meiren in the palace are all like this, so my father also chose one specially. The theater troupe sought out beautiful women from all over the place to raise them carefully, and only waited for these women to be sent to the palace to be favored by His Majesty. Among them was a girl named Mo Yu, who was in the age of cardamom, bright and bright, and a natural golden voice. As early as half a year ago, she was already popular across the country. She was bought by her father with a lot of money and became the most dazzling pearl in the troupe. Moreover, her father had already reported to His Majesty. He would send the troupe to the palace in half a month. With Moyu's ability, she must be Can be favored by your majesty"
The more He Lian laughed, the more frightened he became. He didn't understand why He Liansheng suddenly mentioned Mo Yu.
He Liansheng looked at his sister and smiled deeper: "Don't worry, it won't affect your marriage. I just took advantage of my father's birthday to give Jiang Xiaolou a great gift!"
Time passed in a flash, and soon it was King Qing's birthday. The chariots and horses in front of the palace are noisy and people come and go. In order to celebrate the birthday of the prince, red lanterns were lit on all the porches in the mansion, and the wicks were specially made into patterns of rich peonies. After being poured into sesame oil, they were lit. For a while, the entire mansion was dazzling with red light, as bright as daylight.
As usual, the attendant first put a string of long whips at the gate, and then began to move out all kinds of fireworks. With a clear sound, the silver light flew into the sky in an instant, illuminating the sky like a flood of flowers and rain. As soon as a flame was about to burn out, another red light made a whistling sound. In a blink of an eye, it rose into the sky. The fireworks turned into pavilions and fresh flowers, which were obviously more red than agate, more dazzling than pearls, and more jewels. More splendid, forming a picture of a mirage.
Princess Qing stood under the corridor in a beautiful dress and smiled and pointed to Jiang Xiaolou: "This is a phoenix wearing a peony, that is a soaking lamp, and a jade silver plate!"
Jiang Xiaolou looked up, and the entire sky was illuminated by fireworks. The fire trees and silver flowers were extremely gorgeous.
"Mother, these fireworks are so beautiful!" She couldn't help but exclaimed.
"It was prepared by Prince Anhua," Princess Qing slowly sank after thinking of something.
Jiang Xiaolou's dark eyes were illuminated by the gorgeous fireworks, and his eyes slowly turned to the father and son on the opposite gallery. King Qing was standing among the male guests with a contented smile on his face, while He Liansheng, who was dressed in brocade clothes, stood with a smile on his side.
Today is celebrating the birthday of the king. The emperor summoned him early in the morning, gave him a lot of gifts, and personally inscribed a plaque to him, which made King Qing more happy. Seeing He Liansheng standing by his side at this moment, he looked handsome and handsome. King Qing first nodded slightly, then glanced at Helianyue, who was hiding far behind the crowd, with a shrunken look, his complexion changed. Sank. As the princely son of the palace, He Lianyue is really disappointing. If He Liansheng was born by the princess, and now he has become a veritable son, why...
He Liansheng saw King Qing's face, but pretended to not know: "The son has a birthday gift to give to his father."
"Oh, what gift?" Qing Wang's smile became more and more relieved.
He Liantai, the king of Qingyuan County standing not far away, heard the words, and a mocking smile slowly appeared on his face. He saw all the things in the palace recently. First, Concubine Shun was demoted and then demoted, and then Jiang Xiaolou was proud of the spring breeze, and now the Anhua County King was obviously unable to sit still. Okay, the more lively this play was, the more joy he felt. It's best to stir him up and down, shake the earth!
He Liansheng took out a brocade box in public and handed it respectfully to King Qing: "Please see, father."
There was a night pearl in the box, and when the box was opened, everyone felt that their eyes lit up, and they surrounded them. He Liansheng smiled and introduced: "This bead can be divided into two halves from the middle, and when it is closed, it will become a round ball. When separated, the whole bead is transparent and dull. If it is closed—" he took the initiative to extend his hand. The two-divided beads were closed together, and who knew that the original Ye Mingzhu glowed a green light immediately after being closed, which instantly illuminated objects within a hundred steps.
Qing Wang smiled and said loudly: "Okay, okay, it really is a baby!"
Everyone praised He Liansheng for his thoughtfulness, and He Liansheng's humble and cautious smile, without showing any complacency. Jiang Xiaolou looked in his eyes and couldn't help but smile.
"Recently, the Anhua County princes and his wife don't seem to be as arrogant as before—" Of course, Princess Qing also noticed the movement there and subconsciously said.
"Yes, my mother was right. Maybe it was Anhua County King who repented, so she got the concubine's forgiveness. After all, what a woman under the world wants is a good marriage. If the prodigal son turns around..." Jiang Xiaolou said Halfway through, her long eyelashes blinked, and the smile on her lips deepened.
In the back garden, Mo Yu led the maidservant out of the yard quietly. At this moment, the front yard was full of people, and the masters were all in front to entertain guests. No one would notice that a female actor living in the side yard quietly ran out. She took her maid all the way to the garden, and saw that in the pavilion on the edge of the rockery, a tall and strong man was sitting alone. It was Chu Han, the most powerful guard next to Princess Mingyue.
Chu Han has followed Jiang Xiaolou for a long time, and he doesn't interact with anyone on weekdays. When I was fine, I just sat in the pavilion, silently like a stone Buddha. This position is the most advantageous. You can see all directions, and everyone who enters and exits the garden and inner house must pass under his nose. He didn’t appear blatantly before, but was hiding in the dark. Some royal guards were unconvinced and attacked him secretly. Who knew that he had just jumped on the wall and was separated by three feet from him. I almost broke my waist. There were too many things, Jiang Xiaolou told Chu Han to sit in a conspicuous place altogether. Whether it was spying or discussing, he could directly come up with two tricks. Over time, the more people discovered that the martial arts of this strong man Bai was extraordinary.
It was very quiet all around. All the maidservants went to the front yard to greet the guests. Mo Yu stared straight at Chu Han, smiled faintly on his lips, touched the hair bun, and immediately showed a surprised look, and hurriedly told the maid: "I was just now It seems that I have lost a hosta by the lake, hurry up and find it for me!"
The maidservant was shocked and quickly responded: "Yes, the maidservant will go now!"
When Mo Yu saw the maid leaving hurriedly, his smile became even brighter. She went straight up the steps and walked slowly all the way. She had just walked two steps, and suddenly she slipped on her feet deliberately, and yelled. Chu Han was naturally surprised when he heard this voice, and he rushed out of the pavilion with a waist knife in his hand, and saw a beautiful woman lying under the steps, his face changed slightly: "What happened?"
Mo Yulihua brought rain, eyes faintly: "My feet... my feet are cramped. Please help this big brother to help me into the pavilion, and my maid will be here soon—"
When the banquet outside was at a critical moment, everyone pushed their cups and changed their cups and laughed. Wang Xueshi took advantage of Qing Wang's happiness, and took the initiative to inquire about Princess Mingyue's marriage. At first, everyone would not consider a woman from Shang sect like Jiang Xiaolou, but she was favored by the empress and everything was different.
When Wang Qing heard others mention Jiang Xiaolou, he was not as annoying as before. Recently, Madam Jiang blew a lot of wind in his ears, which made him vaguely feel that he had blamed Jiang Xiaolou in the past. It’s just a business woman, and how deep can she have the scheming. Since she came in to take care of the princess’s emotions for herself and let the family calm down, there is nothing to be too harsh, so when Wang Xueshi mentioned Jiang Xiaolou’s marriage At that time, he couldn't help laughing: "I have to go back to discuss this matter with the princess. As you all know, she can be very daring with this child now, I'm afraid she is not willing!"
Wang Xueshi couldn't help laughing when he heard the words: "Yes, the prince still discusses with the princess, this Princess Mingyue has such a beautiful birth and is favored by the empress, her marriage must not be hasty!"
This reminded King Qing. He hurriedly said: "Yes, she often goes to and from the court after all. The empress loves her very much. In the future, if she gets married, she is afraid that she will preside over the marriage herself!"
Everyone couldn't help their eyes shining upon hearing the words. Although Queen Ann had nothing to say, but her Majesty respected her very much, and An's was one of the best family members. It's a good thing that I can't even think of being able to get on line with the empress. Once upon a time, some people jumped into the dragon's gate for marrying the palace maid beside the queen, which attracted countless envy and jealousy, not to mention that Jiang Xiaolou had the title of princess lord. Of course, the true sons of the rich and powerful would never choose a wife like her. Are those concubines... For the sake of profit, marrying her is a cost-effective marriage. As a result, he had more relationships with King Qing, and asked about Jiang Xiaolou's background and temperament, which almost made King Qing overwhelmed.
From beginning to end, He Liansheng just sat quietly and listened to the people talking, with a full smile on his lips, and his eyes straight through the crowd, looking at Jiang Xiaolou next to Princess Qing, with a hint of yin in his dark pupils. Li.
Jiang Xiaolou, your good days are coming to an end...
