Chapter 253: Crown Prince Rong Lan, Visiting the Princess Mansion

East Palace Prince's Mansion.

"Tomorrow is the birthday of the imperial aunt, have you thought about a poem to celebrate her birthday?"

In the study room, Xia Yunpeng was rubbing the cartilage of the bridge of his nose tiredly. Recently, he has been in a state of desperation. Every time he sees a scandal, he will press it down, and new rumors will burst out, some of which may not be true. For this matter, his father, who had not reprimanded him for many years, scolded him several times in succession, especially after Lao Qi stayed behind closed doors. There was indeed nothing suspicious, and he couldn't help wondering if they had arranged all this. However, since the matter would become such a big mess, those good brothers of his must have worked hard. When this matter passed, he would definitely I will settle with them one by one, and no one can escape.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the little girl has prepared poems, and she will definitely make the eldest princess smile."

Rong Lan, who was specially found, bent down with a smile, with naked confidence and arrogance exuding between her brows. How can her poems be compared to those mediocre people outside?If it hadn't been revealed that she was going through needles for the prince and Wei Yang, she wouldn't have stayed in the prince's mansion and dared not go out, otherwise, her reputation would have been even worse, and the prince would not have specifically told the eldest princess to congratulate her.

"Well, Lan'er is very talented, so I don't worry about it."

Xia Yunpeng finally laughed, and pointed to the chair next to him: "Laner, you are welcome, sit down first and then talk."

This woman is not only talented, but also very smart. She has indeed helped him a lot. Let’s not talk about it, let’s just talk about the gossip outside. At the beginning, when she proposed to use that method to clean up his crimes, he was a little hesitant. After all, the matter between him and Wei Yang has long been confirmed. Even if it is revealed, the infamy of hooking up with his prospective sister-in-law will probably stay with him for the rest of his life, but under the praise of her poems and songs, it has gradually become clear. Knowing that they love each other so much that they have to?Duke Protector has already returned, no accidents, Father Emperor will propose marriage for them soon, when the time comes, it will be justified, it will be useless to let his good brothers interfere.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

With a bewitching sweep of her eyes, Rong Lan bowed softly again, like a real wealthy daughter, and sat down well-bred. Since she followed the prince to the banquet and poetry meeting after the year, she has also learned a lot, such as Everyone's daughter's style, because of this, no one has doubted her true identity so far. Under the backdrop of amazing talents, everyone thinks that she is really the only surviving mysterious woman of the name Rong Heyu from a hundred years ago. granddaughter.

"Don't pay attention to the rumors from the outside world. The imperial aunt is the only imperial sister of the emperor. Tomorrow, even the emperor may come in person. If your poems can be praised by him, no one will dare to make irresponsible remarks in the future. But remember, when the emperor's aunt successfully ascended the throne to protect her father, she was assassinated by an adulterer. She only conceived a son of the county king, and the county king couldn't conceive for some reason. The heir is not only their pain, but also the father's pain. Do not touch any issues related to children in your poems."

Xia Yunpeng was very satisfied with her every move, but quickly withdrew his smile and reminded seriously that the emperor's aunt was unable to conceive any more children because of her father. If she angered her, even he would not be able to keep her.

"Yes, thank you for your reminder, Your Highness."

The corners of Rong Lan's mouth dipped into a smile, and she nodded softly. In fact, she had already inquired clearly about the taboos and particularities of the major families in the capital, and the Princess's Mansion was no exception.

"I believe that you are not an idiot without measure. In addition, tomorrow the Japanese Palace will arrange one or two boudoir girls or Xiaokun to further clean up the whitewashing in the name of asking for advice on poetry and poetry. It is best if you cooperate with me when the time comes." Write a poem or two about love."

Nodding his head, Xia Yunpeng went on to say that tomorrow all the dignitaries in the capital will gather in the Princess's mansion, which is undoubtedly the best chance to clean up his crimes. Qi also had to be present, but the emperor's aunt was celebrating her birthday, and there were many dignitaries in the Duke's mansion, such as the Huguogong and Shizi, who had made great military achievements. At least on the surface, no one dared to talk nonsense. , advocating love, as long as they believe that he and Wei Yang love each other deeply, the love is unavoidable, and they are afraid that they will not be able to completely clean up in the future?

"Well... my little girl, try my best."

This time Rong Lan didn't pretend to be in trouble, but was really in trouble. She was just an ordinary person in her previous life, and she was forced to memorize those poems and songs in the nine-year compulsory education. Over time, she has already uttered many poems praising love and mourning the spring and autumn. It is really a bit embarrassing for her to find out more.

Seeing her embarrassment, Xia Yunpeng pondered for a while, got up and walked over to stand in front of her, met her puzzled and shy gaze, and pulled her into his arms involuntarily: "Lan'er, Ben Gong Xin is pleased with you, and when I ascend the throne as the emperor, I will promise you the position of the fourth concubine."

With her chin resting on the top of her head, Xia Yunpeng promised softly that he was not fooling her. Although Rong Lan didn't have a strong natal background and couldn't help him, she was talented and gentle, just like Xie Yuhua She is generally considerate, unlike those girls in his backyard, Xiao Kun, who are only jealous. He really likes her somewhat.

"Ah."

Before changing it, Rong Lan had already rejected it. She knew better than anyone else that the more powerful a man was, the lower he was. After going through needles and threads, she was notorious, so she could only hide in the prince's mansion. After that, she changed her mind. As far as she was an orphan girl with no power and power, no matter how talented she was, no matter how talented others were, no matter how much others sought after her, a little bit of gossip would be enough. Enough to make her beyond redemption.

Furthermore, before committing herself to him, the prince would not really trust her. The most direct evidence is that a few months ago, she asked the people in the prince's mansion about Liuli, and even planned to find someone to go to the Kanglan state mansion. At that time, the prince sent someone to warn her, which is why she still doesn't know about the businessman surnamed Chen and the Kanglan state government. If she became his woman, it shouldn't be so difficult. She still doesn't believe it. Oh, she is a chosen daughter from the 21st century, but she can't compete with those Yingyingyanyans in his backyard?

At the same time, a low-key and inconspicuous carriage stopped in front of the gate of the Princess's Mansion. The person driving the carriage was obviously the first grader, and there was a second grader sitting next to him. Cui Jing'an and Wei Qian, who were over seventy years old, were both supported by them. He stepped down to get off the carriage, followed by Ye Zhaorongche. After they all got out of the carriage, they knocked on the door knocker on the first day of the junior high school, and got into the car on the second day of junior high school to take out a sandalwood box about one foot long.

"Mr. Cui, Mr. Wei, please, the princess and the county king have been waiting for a long time."

The closed door was opened from the inside, the doorman poked his head out, recognized Cui Jingan and Wei Qian, and quickly opened the door to let them in. Before that, they had handed in invitations.

"Ah."

Nodding, Cui Jing'an and Wei Qian, who had tidied things up for a while, both entered, Zhao Rong and the other followed calmly, followed closely by the first and second graders. After discussions in the morning, they decided to visit the Princess Mansion today to make sure The county king's illness, after all, is tomorrow's birthday, and he will talk about treatment when they meet, especially Ye Zhao is still a fifteen-year-old Xiaokun, who is extremely unreliable from the outside, and it is inevitable that he will be suspicious and unhappy.

"It seems that today really respects this only sister."

The Princess Mansion is adjacent to the South Garden of the Imperial Palace, and occupies a considerable area. The rockery and flowing water in the mansion, carved beams and painted buildings, are full of grandeur and luxury. With Ye Zhaorongche's knowledge and vision, it is not difficult to see how much the Princess Mansion is favored by the emperor.

"Ah."

Holding his hand and looking up, Rong Che seemed to nod his head.

"Is there any nostalgia?"

The door boy was leading the way, Cui Jing'an and Wei Qian didn't look sideways, Ye Zhao leaned over and whispered in his ear.

"Well, what about you?"

As if recalling the bits and pieces of their first world, Rong Che's brows and eyes softened a lot, his eyes couldn't hide his nostalgia and love. For him, everything he had with Zhao'er was precious and beautiful.

"What do you say?"

Throwing him a smiling look, Ye Zhao stopped talking, and his mind was full of warm and happy memories.

"Mr. Cui, you haven't been to the capital for a long time."

During the conversation, a middle-aged man who looked about forty years old smiled and approached him. Judging by his attire, he should be the housekeeper of the Princess Mansion.

"Steward Wang, long time no see, how is Princess Junwang doing well in recent years?"

Seeing the people coming, Cui Jing'an also raised a smile. The son-in-law passed away five years ago. Since then, he has never been to Beijing again. If it wasn't for his three elementary school students this time, he would not come here either. After all He is really old, and he can't stand the hard work.

"Okay, the princess and the county king often think of you."

Swinging the doorman back, Steward Wang clasped his fists at Wei Qian and said, "This must be Mr. Wei."

Wei Qian has resigned from office for many years, most people in the capital don't remember him, most people in the capital don't remember him, probably only some old people and friends remember him.

"I'm sorry to bother you, old man."

Although the other party was just a slave, but he was a slave of the Princess's Mansion, Wei Qian had no choice but to return politely.

"Mr. Wei is serious, who are these two?"

Compared to Cui Jing'an, Steward Wang's attitude towards Wei Qian was not so enthusiastic, and his attention was quickly shifted to Ye Zhaorongche. As for the first and second grades of junior high school, seeing them following behind with sandalwood boxes in their hands, it must be the next one. There is no doubt about the person, there is no need to greet him specially, but there are two young young men who work together, although they are not luxuriously dressed, each has a better bearing than the other, and they are not humble when facing his inquiries. Not in the pool.

"They are my students, Steward Wang, should we go see the princess and the county king? It's not good to keep them waiting."

Obviously not liking his attitude of watching people play and asking questions, Cui Jingan urged him calmly.

"That's right, Mr. Cui, everyone, please!"

Which slave of a wealthy family is not a human being?Seeing this, Steward Wang immediately turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation. Cui Jing'an was not polite to him, and stepped forward again. Ye Zhaorongche, who was following behind, looked at each other and smiled. Strictly speaking, the other party is not too much In terms of portion, the attitude is considered polite.

"Looking at his attitude, the princess and the county king seem to know about your existence, so be careful later, and don't make any mistakes."

While Butler Wang was chatting with Cui Jingan, Wei Qian was a little behind two steps, turned his head and lowered his voice to remind that a rich family is no better than a humble farmer's family, especially the Princess's Mansion, which is trusted and favored by His Majesty. If you are not careful, you may lose your head.

"Ah."

Knowing that he was doing it for their own good, Ye Zhao nodded with a smile. Isn't it strange that the Princess Mansion doesn't have such ability?But they probably don't know much, the most is the specific number of them, and why they came to the capital on the surface, otherwise Steward Wang wouldn't try it quietly.
