I was a prince in ancient times
Chapter 8 Poor!
In the middle of the night, a faint oil lamp was still lit in the Luanfeng Hall of the imperial palace. The light flickered in the empty hall, and some people were not clearly visible.
Sitting under the oil lamp is a young couple. The man's face is stern and his appearance is extraordinary. He is about 27 or [-] years old. He is wearing a black gold-patterned dragon robe and holding a memorial in his hand. He is leaning on the long table. There was an aura of calmness and prestige lingering around.
The woman was leaning against her husband with a gentle face and doing her needlework. The orange light fell on her light white dress, adding a bit of beauty.
"It's too late, don't do it, it will hurt your eyes." The emperor Xie Cangming looked at the book for a while, and when he turned around, he saw the profile of the queen who was seriously mending her clothes with her head down, and her restless heart was instantly comforted.
"It's okay, Your Majesty is restless. I'm idle too. It's good to do something to accompany Your Majesty." Queen Ran Ruyan smiled gently.
She and His Majesty were young and deeply in love, and their childhood sweethearts supported them all the way, so how can they not see that His Majesty is feeling uncomfortable at this moment.
Regarding Ran Ruyan, Xie Cangming didn't hide anything, there was a trace of sadness hidden in his sharp eyes, "It's winter... the Grassland Department has started to move south again."
Hearing the words, Ran Ruyan put away the needle neatly, put down the needle and thread, stretched out her soft fingers to hold Xie Cangming's icy hand, and glanced lightly at the papers asking for military pay from various military departments with her bright eyes, and asked softly, "Your Majesty is worrying about money. ?”
Xie Cangming had a complicated expression, "The Hou Mansion just sent 10 taels of silver, which can solve the urgent need. It's just the seventh brother's marriage..."
Thinking of Xie Anlan, Xie Cangming rubbed his aching brows and said, "Forget it, there is no family affection under the imperial power, so this is fine now."
"Seventh brother, he will understand His Majesty." Ran Ruyan comforted Xie Cangming, feeling the strength of Xie Cangming's hand gradually clenched.
"hope so."
After a long time, such helpless words echoed in Luanfeng Hall.
The next day, when the sky was getting darker, as soon as Uncle Fu opened the gate of Prince Chen's Mansion, he saw a fifteen or sixteen year old boy dressed as a servant standing at the door and smiling at him.
"Grandpa housekeeper, I'm here to wait for my young master." The boy's whole face turned red from the cold, and a long stream of white smoke came out of his mouth as soon as he spoke, but he couldn't help the child's sweet mouth, and his eyes froze when he spoke. It is also curved, which is pleasing to the eye.
Uncle Fu was in a good mood today, and asked, "Who is your young master?"
"My young master's surname is Lu. Last night, I heard from people in the Hou Mansion that the sage gave a decree to marry Prince Chen, and now he is Princess Chen." The servant said with a smile on his face.
"Yo, then you waited outside the door all night, why didn't you knock on the door." Uncle Fu was stunned, and quickly welcomed people into the door.
"It's late at night, I'm afraid I'll disturb the housekeeper's grandfather's rest, the boy is young and vigorous, so it's okay to be cold for a while." The servant was talking and laughing with Uncle Fu while looking at the Chen Palace.
One sentence from left to right coaxed Uncle Fu into joy, and he took him directly to Xie Anlan and Lu Chengjia's new house.
At this time, Lu Chengjie had gotten up early, and was gesticulating in the courtyard with a dead tree branch. His body was flowing like clouds and water, and the wind was blowing under his feet, which stirred the fallen leaves in the courtyard to follow him.
"Master!" The boy saw Lu Chengjiao with a look of excitement and couldn't help shouting.
"Chuyi, you're here." Lu Chengjia put down the branch, smiled and nodded to Lu Chuyi.
Uncle Fu saw that this young man was indeed Wang Hao's servant, so he didn't ask any more questions, and stepped back to do his own business.
"Master...ah no, I should be called Wangfei from now on." Chu Yi joked with a smile.
"It's still the same." Lu Chengjia thought of what Xie Anlan said last night, and shook his head and rejected Lu Chuyi's title.
"Yes." Lu Chuyi immediately put away his hippie smile and became inconspicuous.
"What happened to the Hou Mansion after I left." Lu Chengjia found a stone pier in the courtyard, brushed off the fallen leaves on it, and asked after sitting down.
"When Mrs. Hou found out that Miss Biao was counting on the young master, she became furious and went to the palace. When she came back, Miss Biao was sent to Baishui Temple in Qingzhou overnight, saying that she was praying for Lord Hou for five years." Lu Chu [-] Ten said to Lu Chengjiao.
"Five years?" Lu Chengjia was a little surprised, "I never thought that my aunt would be so decisive. My cousin will be 23 in five years. It may not be easy to find someone else. Will my cousin be willing?"
"Who knows." Lu Chuyi's eyes sparkled, he always felt that Miss Biao would not be a law-abiding master.
"Oh, did your aunt ever mention me?" Lu Chengjia lowered his eyes and asked inadvertently.
Lu Chuyi shook his head in disappointment, "Mrs. Hou didn't have anything to say to the young master."
"Understood." Lu Chengjie's voice was a little lonely, just as the breeze blew by, a leaf fell on his shoulder, and his thin back looked a little lonely.
"Master, it's actually not bad to marry into Prince Chen's mansion." When Lu Chuyi found out that Lu Chengjiao was in a bad mood, he took the initiative to change the subject and said, "I asked around in the imperial capital last night. The family property is gone, but because of this, there are no messy people in the whole palace except for an old housekeeper and an old accountant who has taken sick leave, so the young master can be the master of the house when he marries in, how wonderful it is."
"Besides, young master, don't you always want to expand the business on the northwest line? With the title of Concubine Chen, we can not only expand, but also bring the goods to the imperial capital for sale."
"As for Prince Chen's addiction to gambling, it's better to solve it. We also open a gambling shop in the capital, so we can just coax Prince Chen to play."
"Besides, young master, you are now a princess, and you can use those things that were not in compliance with the regulations in the warehouse before. In this way, the advantages of being a princess still outweigh the disadvantages."
Lu Chuyi knew that it was an unchangeable fact that his young master had become Chen Wangfei under the decree of the emperor to bestow the marriage, so he could only make this Chen Wangfu, which everyone avoids, as beneficial as possible to his young master. .
After hearing this, Lu Chengjie shook his head and refused, "Your calculations are very loud, but it's a pity that Prince Chen is not a person who can be manipulated by others. Put away these small thoughts and stay at the Palace of Prince Chen with peace of mind."
Through the simple relationship yesterday, Lu Chengjia knew that the King Chen was definitely not as simple as he showed. If someone really plotted against the King Chen with those remarks outside, he would definitely be eaten by the King Chen. .
Lu Chuyi was a little dumbfounded. Hearing what his young master said, could it be that what he inquired about was all the disguised appearance of the Prince Chen?
Then this Chen Wang's scheming is too deep!
"So don't underestimate anyone. You can think of cleverness, but you don't know that others will not."
After Xie Anlan woke up, seeing that it was bright outside the house, and the person who shared the bed with her last night was nowhere to be seen, she yawned and woke up with her eyes open.
Thinking that he had to find a way to earn money to buy medicine for Lu Chengjia today, he struggled to get up from the warm blanket.
Pushing open the door and being blown by the cold wind, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have an exchange system similar to Taobao.
He closed the door neatly, called up the system, and ordered something to buy.
As expected, it still shows that the balance is insufficient, but there is an additional reminder under the balance.
When money balance -1111.
Xie Anlan was stunned for a moment, not wanting to understand, "Why did the balance go from insufficient to negative?"
After researching for a while, I found that the system can't speak, and there is no prompt. After everything is explored by myself, Xie Anlan didn't worry about how the balance turned into a negative balance. She went into the kitchen and touched two cold steamed buns, chewing slowly Lobby to go.
Before stepping into the front hall, Xie Anlan smelled a strong smell of meat. When he walked in, he saw that Lu Chengjia, who he thought was as poor as him, was sitting in front of a bowl of mutton porridge, eating slowly. , and there is a young man who waits on him beside him.
Xie Anlan looked down at the cold steamed buns in his hand that were too hard to swallow, and suddenly he couldn't taste it.
"Your Highness, my servant found the purse I left in the Hou's Mansion." Lu Chengjie explained kindly.
"Oh." It's better not to explain.
I thought I was a fallen person in the end of the world, but I didn't expect you to secretly make a fortune.
This feeling is really...
Xie Anlan numbly put the steamed buns into his mouth, reminiscing about the delicacies he had eaten before.
I meditate in my heart, I can't see it, I can't see it, I can't see it.
"Your Highness, do you mind helping to share the burden?" Lu Chengjia saw that Xie Anlan only lowered his head and gnawed on his cold steamed buns but didn't even look at the meat porridge on his table. Dapen pushed in Xie Anlan's direction.
"Ah, are you full?" Xie Anlan just watched Lu Chengjia drink a small bowl, which was not as much as a cat.
"Well, I don't have a good appetite today, maybe it's because the poison from yesterday hasn't been eliminated." Lu Chengjie rubbed his stomach, but he really seemed to have no appetite.
"Then... I won't be polite to you." Xie Anlan was not hypocritical, nor did she dislike the leftovers from Lu Chengjie's food. She took the bowl and ate it with relish.
Xie Anlan was almost moved to tears after taking a bite of the meat porridge, which was fragrant, salty and warm.
I haven't eaten a mouthful of hot food for three whole days, let alone such a pot of salty and flavorful porridge.
It made him feel alive after three days of silence.
Seeing that Xie Anlan was about to finish a bowl of porridge in two or three mouthfuls, Lu Chengjie just wanted to get up and leave, as if he had thought of something, he sat down calmly and said to Xie Anlan, "By the way, Your Highness, I am sorry for the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor yesterday." I have already asked the first day of the junior high school to go to the pharmacy to get the medicine, so I don't bother His Highness to make another trip."
Xie Anlan was halfway through his meal, when he suddenly heard what Lu Chengjia said, he felt a good feeling in his heart.
What a caring partner.
And Lu Chuyi, who had been standing behind Lu Chengjie, stared round his eyes, seeing how the young master who never lied was lying without blushing and heartbeat.
What inappetite?Obviously his young master used to finish the two big bowls of porridge.
What medicine to buy?When did he buy medicine today besides buying porridge?
"Your Highness, take it easy." Lu Chengjiao got up and wanted to leave after being sized up by his servant with weird eyes, and his expression was a little unnatural.
"Wait—" Xie Anlan finished the last mouthful of porridge in the basin, burped and called Lu Chengjia to stop.
"Is there anything else your Highness needs?" Lu Chengjiao stopped.
"Since you are not short of money, can you lend me some more money?" Xie Anlan said cheekily.
Lu Chengjie, "..."
