Bright Spring

"Concubine Guo Ci didn't go to see the Crown Princess?" Zhu Gaochi was stunned.

Mrs. Zhang said: "I didn't come! But these are trivial matters. As long as there is no major incident in the East Palace, the concubine will burn incense and worship Buddha. How can I care about trivial matters? The crown prince only has two wives and concubines. If you don't provoke the concubine, if the concubine can't accommodate even one person, how can you be a princess?"

Zhu Gaochi was silent in thought.

Mrs. Zhang said: "The concubine has an idea for the crown prince. This matter is not small, and I have to pass the test of the father and the queen. After reporting to the father and the queen, you must say this: Guo Cifei accidentally fell lost baby...

Maybe that's what it is!In the entire East Palace, even the concubines don't like to put on makeup, and they are more strict with the maids. Only Concubine Guo puts some weird things on her body all day long.Those sweet-scented osmanthus oil, rouge pollen, which one will not provoke bees and butterflies?No wonder the swarm of bees only stared at her.

This is not deceit, so many people have seen it in full view.No one pushed her, she ran and fell into the pond by herself!In this way, it was just an accidental misfortune, let alone the crown prince's face, even the face of the father, queen mother, and the entire royal family was saved. "

Zhu Gaochi nodded slightly when he heard this.What Mrs. Zhang said is not unreasonable. Even if there is a conspiracy in this matter, it shouldn't be said everywhere. Which dynasty's royal family would publicize such scandals as getting rid of the child of the crown prince and second concubine?

Just thinking of this, Mrs. Zhang's voice said again: "Your Majesty, you must not let it go like this. When the matter on the table is blurred, you can send someone to investigate in private, and once you find out the truth, you will quietly make that villain pay the price! Otherwise, this kind of thing needs to be decided by the three courts? Then you must laugh at the big teeth of the world!"

"It makes sense!" Zhu Gaochi suddenly felt a little scared, and said, "Just now I was so angry and dizzy that I almost made a big mistake! Fortunately, my concubine reminded me."

Tentatively, Mrs. Zhang took Zhu Gaoxu's arm gently, and said softly: "We are married couples, the crown prince is my relative|husband, Zhanji is my biological son, and these are the most important things about a woman. How can you not think about your own family?"

Zhu Gaochi put his fleshy hand on the back of Zhang's hand, and sighed "ah".In his heart, the most important thing is his relatives, but among his relatives, his father and younger brother have hurt his heart. How can his wife and son not have any affection for so many years?

Mrs. Zhang persuaded again softly: "The crown prince is also very tired, and he is careful every day. The concubine sees it in his eyes and hurts in his heart. As long as the crown prince can be more comfortable, whoever you want to pet and sleep with, how can the concubine refuse to cling to you?" With your preference?

But as long as you understand it in your heart, it's good to be a pet, don't indulge the women in the palace too much.Like Concubine Guo, she puts on makeup all day long, makes the family restless, and doesn't know how to be modest and courteous. The mother and concubine hate this kind of person the most; Stand for her?

The concubine has long wanted to discipline her for the prince. It can be seen that the prince dotes on her and dare not make you unhappy, for fear that the prince will think that the concubine is jealous and avenging her. "

Zhu Gaochi said: "My concubine is worrying too much. I don't know who is the crown princess. It is your duty to manage the internal affairs of the Eastern Palace. You can do whatever you want. How can you be polite without being high or low? There are no rules. How to form a circle?"

Mrs. Zhang got up and knelt and said, "With the words of the crown prince, I don't have to be intimidated."

Zhu Gaochi waved his hand, walked out of the room, looked at the eunuch who was still kneeling on the ground, showed a trace of disgust, and waved his hand: "Get up, I was sad and angry just now, fortunately the crown princess advised me, so I didn't reward and punish unfairly. This matter It has nothing to do with you, it was caused by the crown prince and second concubine's own carelessness! However, you have to do your part, and you didn't serve the crown prince and second concubine well today!"

The eunuchs kept kowtow, and if they were granted amnesty, they would be grateful there.

... The door of the room where the prince spoke was right next to Guo Yan's bed room, and she should have heard what the prince said.

Chapter 2 Don't bully young people into poverty

/p>After sending Wang Gui and others away from the Yunnan Mansion, Mu Sheng still hasn't come to Hanwang Mansion to meet.Mu Sheng is just a marquis; Zhu Gaoxu is a prince, it is impossible to visit Mu Sheng first, so he can only calm down and see what is going on.

Zhu Gaoxu feels that people still need to meet and communicate.Even if the etiquette is a bit false, the basic attitudes such as goodwill, malice, or wariness can still be judged; otherwise, they can only imagine and suspect each other.

To understand the situation in Yunnan Mansion, apart from looking for Mu Mansion, which has been running Yunnan for many years, Zhu Gaoxu felt that Shen Xu's family might also know a lot.

At this time, he thought of the pear garden in the south of Caihaizi. Mrs. Shen Xu said that he would reserve a special seat for VIPs.

……

The Prince's trip was a long one, but today Zhu Gaoxu put on the old light purple robe and went out with only Wei Da and Wang Bin.Both of them are the commanders of the guards and the commanders of more than [-] troops in the main army, but now Wang Bin is just a groom in charge of driving, and Wei Da is just a follower.

Caihaizi Liyuan is not only a theater building, but also operates restaurants, tea houses, inns, etc.

When they arrived at the place, it was almost noon, so Zhu Gaoxu asked the two guards to go to the restaurant for dinner first.

After ordering a table of food and wine, the three of them chatted quietly, waiting for the dishes to be served.

At this moment, a young man came to the next table, who immediately caught Zhu Gaoxu's attention.The young man was dressed in a blue cloth robe and a square scarf, and he was fair and handsome, which is nothing unusual. There are also scholars in Yunnan Province who do not go out to bask in the sun but only study behind closed doors... something special is that the young man is so particular, He is more particular than the prince Zhu Gaoxu.

The young man stood by the table and didn't sit down immediately, but took out a clean white handkerchief, wiped the stool and the wooden table carefully, then put the handkerchief into his sleeve pocket, and sat down.

When the tea doctor came up to put the teacup on and was about to pour tea from the teapot, the boy said, "Wait a minute!" He took out a white handkerchief and wiped the teacup carefully before allowing the tea doctor to pour tea.

Only then did the young man sit down on his seat with peace of mind, and put the paper fan decorated with pendant jade on the table.Then he slowly picked up the teacup, calmly put it in front of his nose and sniffed it lightly, frowning slightly, as if he disliked the smell of tea; but he still took a sip and put it neatly on the ceramic base again.

Seeing that Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a while, he raised his head and looked at Wei Da Wang Bin, the three of them looked at each other without saying a word.Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly picked up the teacup and smelled it. To be honest, he didn't smell any strange smell. He thought the Yunnan raw tea had a nice and elegant fragrance.

After a while, the food and wine that Zhu Gaoxu wanted came to the table one after another. He picked up his chopsticks and was about to pick up some food, when he suddenly found a man inside taking out a pair of small scissors, and gently cut off a diner's waist pouch.

Zhu Gaoxu put down his chopsticks, and before he could speak, the young man at the next table grabbed the thief who was passing by, "Your Excellency is very good at hands and feet, why do you want to do such a thing?"

That young man is very alert and has a sense of justice!Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu held the chopsticks in his hands again, and waited for the boy to come out.

"It's best not to cause trouble, let go!" The thief showed a fierce expression, struggled a bit and pushed the young man.The young man grabbed the man's arm and pressed it on the table: "Follow me to the officer!"

"Wow, bang, bang..." The wooden table tilted, and the teacups, chopsticks, vinegar, etc. on it fell all over the floor.The diners upstairs were in an uproar and looked over one after another, some of them had already stood up.

The thief fell from the tabletop to the ground, turned over immediately, took out the pair of scissors just now, danced wildly in front of him, and retreated to the stairs: "Don't come over!"

Angrily, the young man grabbed a round stool and threw it at the thief. The thief turned his head to avoid it, and the round stool flew straight towards Zhu Gaoxu. With a few "bang... bang bang", the dishes in front of Zhu Gaoxu were all messed up. He held a pair of chopsticks in his hand, but what he faced was a table full of broken plates and vegetable stains.

Zhu Gaoxu froze for a moment, then stretched his legs, just in time to be kicked by the thief who ran past, "Ah!" The thief staggered, fell and gnawed on the mud.

The young man rushed over immediately, straddled up and held down the thief's hand.At this time, several other diners also rushed over, holding down the people on the ground one after another.

"There is an official store at the corner of the street. Go and ask the official to come over." Someone yelled.

The young man stood up, looked at the thief on the ground who turned his head and glared at him, and gave a cold "hum", took out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket and shook it, then wiped the dust and palms on his body, and then stretched out his hand to gently caress the handkerchief. On the temples, the hair has been tamed.

"Good! Good..." Some diners clapped their hands and praised.

The young man raised his head with a proud face, and nodded to those who praised him.

At this time, an old man walked over with several people, and the old man stomped his feet and said: "Arresting people is the arresting of people, but you can't demolish our building!"

Pointing at Xiaonianlang, a little girl said, "He threw the stool at him."

The old man walked up quickly, and the people around him also surrounded the young man. The old man said: "Brother, we all admire you for your righteous deeds. But you have broken so many things, you have to pay for it."

"You old man is so unreasonable!" The young man frowned, "There are thieves upstairs, and you want me to pay for it?"

The old man said: "Brother, you can't talk like that. We're open for business. We didn't call this thief. If you burn down the entire opera orchard just to catch him, don't you want to slap your ass and leave?" ?”

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu stood up with the chopsticks that had caught nothing, and said, "The shopkeeper will do the math, and the loss will be counted on my table. Please ask someone to clean it up, and serve another table of wine and vegetables." .”

The old man turned around immediately when he heard that someone was going to take responsibility.Zhu Gaoxu also had good intentions, and thought that since he saw such a brave act, he should actually encourage him; he also felt that the young man was not bad, and he didn't seem to come from an ordinary family, so he could help him solve some troubles, and he could get to know him. one time.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhu Gaoxu finished speaking, the young man said with shame and indignation: "You think I'm short of this money, how much is it!"

The old man immediately asked someone to count the messy things on the ground, and said, "Twenty pennies are not bills."

"Twenty guan!?" The young man was furious, "You guys are so shameless, can you take this opportunity to make a fortune?"

The old man said: "Don't say it so harshly, so many things are broken, and there is still a table of food, isn't it worth twenty pennies?"

"Pen and ink waiter! I owe a receipt." The boy said.
