[Red Mansions] Lin's first genius doctor

Just when Zhou Liheng and Daiyu were in a mental storm, Ms. Yang was in a brainstorm: What should I do?How to get rid of the siege?

After Daiyu was startled by the man's voice, she couldn't help taking another step back. Zhou Liheng woke up after she moved, looking extremely embarrassed, half embarrassed and half helpless.

Ms. Yang finally got a quick wit out of her wits and thought of a way out.

She stomped her feet a few times behind the rockery from light to heavy, deliberately acting as if her footsteps were coming from a distance, and then raised her voice: "Miss Lin, are you here?"

Daiyu couldn't help but look anxious.

But she went out alone, but she met a foreigner by herself!If Ms. Yang saw this, it would be clear how to say this.

Perhaps for men, this kind of courtyard encounter is a kind of lace news that can add luster, but for boudoir girls, it is really fatal!

Seeing her expression, Zhou Liheng felt blessed for a moment, first quickly bowed to the end, and said softly: "I am rude, girl, and I will be punished in the future."

Then he turned around and jumped onto the ginkgo tree next to him by taking advantage of the low rocks in the courtyard. The brocade robe was like a colorful phoenix, hiding his figure in the dense branches and leaves.

After Daiyu was slightly startled, she responded to Lady Yang.

Lady Yang came out with a smile, and said to Daiyu: "The princess saw that the girl was not wearing a big robe, so she ordered me to look for her. Are you not cold? After all, it is still cold."

Daiyu shook her head, calmed down, and said that the wind was blowing, and then walked back with Lady Yang.

But after Lady Yang sent Daiyu back to the courtyard, she immediately turned out again quietly and came under the ginkgo tree: "Come down."

Zhou Liheng remained silent, treating himself like a branch.

Ms. Yang had no choice but to call her name: "My lord, please come down, the officer has already seen it."

Zhou Liheng just jumped off the tree - he had a good relationship with Wei Ren in the palace, and he also learned some riding and shooting skills with the princes.

He has always been mild-tempered, but this time he looked at Ms. Yang with serious eyes and even annoyance: "There is a lady from the side house in the front yard, why didn't anyone tell me! What should I do if I have such a collision!"

Lady Yang was taken aback by his rare anger, and hurriedly pleaded guilty, but she had nothing to say.

Zhou Liheng knew about Princess Shao's treat, and even personally sent a message to Lin Jiang.But no one told him the details—Shao ​​Wang and his wife still felt guilty, fearing that this banquet, which was called fulfilling a wish, was actually a banquet to see their daughter-in-law, would make their son seriously ill again.

So Princess Shao didn't say a word. Princess Shao only told him that she was in the back house to honor the banquet that day, and then frightened him, "Your father, Xiu Mu, is entertaining the Qing guests and relatives in the front yard." Palace to study.

Therefore, no one thought that Zhou Liheng would return to the mansion suddenly, even if he returned to the mansion, he would come to this unused study outside for many years.

"This must be fate." A few bright characters flashed in Ms. Yang's mind.

After all, it was the female officer next to his mother, even though Zhou Liheng got angry, he didn't say anything more, he just said: "Please, female officer Yang, quietly fetch me a book."

The books given by the emperor are all stored in special boxes. Zhou Liheng knew it as soon as he described Lady Yang, so he nodded and went back to pick up the books.

And Zhou Liheng looked at the wall of the outer study, lost his mind.

I can't help but think of the girl I met just now...Miss Lin, is the sister of Imperial Doctor Xiao Lin, is that Miss Lin?

-

Lin Jiang felt that there was something strange about Daiyu who came in from outside the door just now, so he finished the conversation with Mrs. Wu and went to find Daiyu who was laying out the paper before the case to write.

When putting down the paperweight for Daiyu, Lin Jiang felt like touching her hand like ice.Can't help being surprised.

There is nothing wrong with Daiyu's body conditioning now, and she pays more attention to nourishing her body in winter, and she no longer suffers from the coldness of hands and feet in previous years when winter comes.And this time the executioner was so cold, coupled with the slightly strange expression when he just entered the door, he seemed to have been frightened by something.

Daiyu looked at Lin Jiang and shook her head slightly, Lin Jiang understood and didn't ask, just watched her writing poems.

When the hour hand reached the hour, another female official next to Princess Shao collected all the girls' poems.

Princess Shao went through the pages one by one carefully, and took a special look at Daiyu's poems for a while. After Mrs. Wei took them, she naturally focused on Daiyu's poems.

The two aunts and sisters-in-law looked at each other, both smiled, and then showed the oldest Mrs. Wu: "I also ask the elder, Mrs. Wu, to make a final decision and choose a leader."

Mrs. Wu also put on her presbyopic glasses and took the girls' poems to read, but after a while, she glanced at Daiyu and said with a smile: "I have chosen the leader in my heart, but it's a pity that I said it out, I'm also afraid that people will think that I am biased in my personal feelings, so let the princess decide."

Mrs. Lin is very close to their family, and they know many people in Beijing. Mrs. Wu has decided on Daiyu's poems in her heart, so it's hard to speak directly.

There was still a girl from the Wu family standing next to Bisheng Daiyu. At this time, she was cute and cute and asked directly: "Grandmother, there is a saying in the book of sages that says that you should not avoid relatives if you are a virtuous person. If you look after your granddaughter, I will do the best. To put it bluntly, the sisters next to me will have no gossip."

I was speechless for Mrs. Wu.

Everyone present burst into laughter.If you have a good relationship with Miss Wu, come and pull her: "You don't know about your daily knowledge? How can you win the first prize? The old lady is talking about Miss Lin."

It's not true that the girls have strict answers to each other's questions, just now, whenever someone writes, there are a few who happily gather over to watch the scene.Especially Princess Xiang, who didn't write by herself, just took her fly whisk and swung the big sleeves of her Taoist robe, and went everywhere to read poems in advance.

Several girls read Daiyu's poems, and they were full of praise at that time.

Miss Wu Liu had an oolong, and Apple's already ruddy face became even redder.But she was straightforward and didn't take it seriously, and laughed along with everyone.

Princess Shao turned her head and asked Princess Xiang and Lin Jiang, who were standing beside her, who had just read the poem together: "What do the two supervisors think?"

Princess Xiang shook his whisk, "Very, very true."

Lin Jiang wanted to avoid suspicion just like Mrs. Wu, so she just smiled.

Seeing this, the concubine smiled and stamped her seal: "Anyway, I have my own opinion. From our point of view, Miss Lin's poems are novel, ingenious and unique, and can be the leader."

Then he took a piece of ancient inkstone that had been prepared a long time ago as a prize, and wanted to present it to Daiyu.

Daiyu naturally wanted to go forward to accept the gift from the concubine, and concubine Shao held up her hand, looked at her for a while, and then let it go calmly, saying: "Good boy, it really is a good poem. Be kind."

After that, the concubine chose a few more poems and commented on them, picking out the highlights at a glance, and convinced all the girls present.

Afterwards, the concubine did not pass the collected poems to the girls for comment, but just kept them by her side.

Yingchun was very relieved, and felt that there was no need to accept the public execution and let others discuss the poems he had made up - if they were spread one by one and let these ladies read and comment, Yingchun would want to make a fool of himself.

There are also a few girls who think the same as her, and they all have big stones in their hearts.

Seeing it, Lin Jiang felt more and more that Zhou Liheng's gentleness and consideration might be following Princess Shao.Although the concubine's bright temperament is different from his son's honesty and gentleness, this gentleness that is willing to be considerate of others and save them from embarrassment and embarrassment is indeed from the same source as Zhou Liheng's kindness.

In a high position, it is easy to be blinded by clouds and only look at the high and far.However, Princess Shao's mother and son are all people who can bend down and take pity on the weak flowers on the ground.

"Go back to the princess, the stove is ready."

Princess Shao led the girls to change places and returned to a garden inside the second gate of the backyard.I saw that there are two open pavilions facing each other in the courtyard, just like the shape of the sun and the moon.Surrounding the pavilion is a grove of white plum blossoms. At this time, the first ten days of February has passed, and the plum blossoms have basically fallen, leaving only a few sporadic late plum blossoms.

In the twelfth lunar month, Lin Jiang and Daiyu saw the lush plum blossoms in front of Princess Qiyang's courtyard, which is not the same.

However, this plum grove has a different taste, obviously it has been carefully built by people, and it does not look sparse, but the plum blossoms in this spot appear to be capable and sparse, with a kind of rare but refined scenery.

Several women are lighting a fire around the charcoal stove in the pavilion.

Mrs. Wei smiled when she saw it: "Is the princess going to take the girls to eat barbecue today?"

Princess Shao nodded: "Since they are all dressed up as men, I might as well just learn from their men and eat barbecue when they go hunting. Besides, it's cold today, and it's useless to enjoy plum blossoms outside, so eating meat and plum blossoms by the fire will make your eyes full , isn’t it good that your stomach is full too?”

Even if Daiyu had something on her mind, she couldn't help smiling.

Princess Shao is really interesting.Seeing what the princess just commented on the poem, I know that he is an elegant person who knows both poetry and books, but he is not the kind of rigid literati who pursues elegance too much. He would think of eating barbecue while admiring plum blossoms, which is chic some more.

There were many maidservants and women standing around the pavilion, all of whom were very capable and careful. Seeing the girls happily choosing meat and vegetables, they hurriedly stepped forward to help roast them, and adjusted the charcoal fire of the stove from time to time, so as not to cause sparks to burst out. Burn the clothes of the girls.

Lin Jiang sat with Daiyu, and Sanchun was naturally with them.It was not easy for Lin Jiang to ask what happened to Cai Daiyu just now, so he just gossiped: "Only Princess Shao in Beijing dares to treat guests like this."

This group of officials and ladies came to the door, ordinary people would ask to be careful and make no mistakes. It is the safest thing to eat snacks and watch elegant operas.

The kind of people who lead them to change into men's clothes, and eat barbecue with barbed wire on the stove are troublesome and risky.

Only Princess Shao with such a temperament and such a status could invite the girls to come and play without any scruples.

Lin Jiang saw that even Yingchun, who always avoided looking at people with a dull look, and Xichun, who was indifferent and didn't like to get along with others, had only been here for less than half a day, and their smiles had increased.

Tanchun was even more in high spirits, just now her poems were praised by the princess.

Speaking of which, when she was at home, she occasionally wrote some poems, but she was depressed and had no one to share them with.

Mother Jia didn't pay much attention to the homework of her granddaughters, she just said that she was not blind.And from the sister-in-law to welcoming the spring and cherishing the spring, they all have their own sorrows and are not very interested in poetry.

Baoyu likes poetry and songs, and he is not bad for his sister.It's a pity that Baoyu has no way to talk, and when she sees Tanchun's poems, she yells, "The third sister is very talented, and her poems are much better than mine!"So much so that this word reached Mrs. Wang's ears, and Tanchun was treated coldly by Mrs. Wang for several days.

Since then, Tanchun didn't dare to show it to Baoyu.

So many times she became poetic about the scenery, but in the end she just wrote it with enthusiasm, and then burned it silently.

But today, he was praised by the princess and the two wives, which made Tanchun feel very unhappy.

At this moment, Tanchun took off a pair of gold bracelets and put them on the table, and took the copper clip from a maidservant's hand by himself: "Sister, let me bake two pieces for a try."

People are smart and know everything. She tried to roast two pieces of meat, and they were all very successful.Tanchun immediately felt that he could do it, and asked repeatedly: "What do you want to eat, I will bake it!"

Daiyu also temporarily put aside her worries, pointed to the eggplant and said, "Third Sister, I want to eat some grilled eggplant." A good sauce has been marinated, placed on a wire mesh, and will be full of juice after a little roasting.Such fresh vegetables are more expensive than meat in winter.

On the contrary, Lin Jiang looked at the eggplant and easily thought of the emperor, so he refused to eat it, so he changed it: "I want to eat something spicy, let's eat some roasted green peppers."

Tanchun found it easy: "Why do you look like two deer? You only eat some vegetarian dishes. Second sister, would you like a piece of good lamb?"

Yingchun nodded shyly: "I, I want to put more coarse salt, the piece was a bit bland just now." So Lian Xichun also wanted to eat.

Tanchun took orders one by one, and was very busy.

Princess Shao naturally sat at the same table with Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Wu. At this time, Mrs. Wei happened to be looking at this side, and Tanchun's eagerness to look forward to her eyes fell into her eyes.

He also thought about the poems written by Tanchun just now, which are considered outstanding, even better than many girls from a scholarly family—yes, in the eyes of Mrs. Wei, the Jia family is just a family of military generals, not a scholarly family. .

Mrs. Wei said: "This Miss Jia San is also an outstanding one."

Princess Shao also took a look, then lowered her eyes slightly: "She is a good girl, but it's just a pity."

Mrs. Wei was a little surprised: "It's fine for others to talk about concubines, but when the concubine was at home, she never asked about the background of the concubine sisters, only to see if they got along well. Why do you think it's a pity for Miss Jia San today?"

The princess glanced at her sister-in-law: "I don't care, so I still point to her poems with courage and integrity. But the world talks about concubines, so I feel that she is a pity."

Because of the close relationship between her aunt and sister-in-law, Princess Shao did not shy away from it, and asked directly: "Just now when my sister-in-law praised her well, she must be thinking about the marriage of several young men in the family. But has my sister-in-law ever thought about marrying her descendants?" ?”

Mrs. Wei was at a loss for words, and then shook her head: "It's still the princess who sees it thoroughly."

What she was thinking just now was to assign Tanchun to a teenage concubine whom she had raised. That child had long since lost his mother and grew up with her. He was closer than other concubines, so she didn't want to wrong him. A good girl misses one or two.

When Princess Shao said this, Mrs. Wei also realized that she had not only concubine sons, but also grandchildren from the first line, and some of them were of marriageable age, but she really didn't consider Tanchun.

For, that is to say, the two characters of concubines.

Princess Shao saw that Tanchun Barbecue was interesting, so she also went to a pair of white jade bracelets on her wrist, picked up the copper tongs herself, and said to Mrs. Wei: "You can see her from reading and writing. This Miss Jia San is a worthy woman." The one who is the backbone will definitely be able to run the family in the future, and it would be great if my sister-in-law likes it."

She knew the concubine under Mrs. Wei's knee: Mrs. Wei's own two concubines were both old enough to become officials and marry wives, each with a bright future.Therefore, Mrs. Wei is very sincere in raising this concubine, whom my aunt has long lost. The child is also well-educated and has decent character.

Princess Shao thought, if Mrs. Wei likes Tanchun, that's fine.As far as she knew, all daughters born in the Rongguo Mansion were sent to the palace as female officials, and it was estimated that they would not be able to find any good marriages for the concubines.

On the contrary, Mrs. Wei thought about it for a while, but just smiled: "Forget it, this is not something I can decide. Getting married is a good relationship between two families. I'm afraid it won't work if I value the character of other girls."

She had already remembered that the eldest son had mentioned the Ningrong Second House to her, and there was not much praise in his words.

Princess Shao sighed again.

Just now she said the word "pity", and it's more than just a concubine!

According to her, the girls of Jia's family are all good, but it's a pity that the family is declining day by day.The reputation of Rongguo Mansion is not bad, but the two girls who were born were from concubines, and the one from Ningguo Mansion was born from the concubine, but there is a famous family in Beijing who doesn't know about those messy things, and who would like to be in-laws with such a family.

Even if she hosted a banquet by herself, the invitation would only go to Rongguo Mansion.

Mrs. Wu is old, and her ears are a little hard of hearing. Besides, the concubine Mrs. Wei's sister-in-law naturally has private conversations, so she just sits next to her and asks the maid to bake her something easy to eat, and doesn't mix with the two of them. talk loudly.

From time to time, she asked the maid to give the roasted rabbit meat to her granddaughter's table and eat it at Lin Jiang's table.

Lin Jiang couldn't help but said, "It would be great if there was wine."

But these words were heard by Princess Xiang's table again, and the princess was the first to stand up: "Granduncle, do you have any good wine?"

Princess Shao laughed: "Look at your attire, you look like an out-of-world expert, why do you want to drink and eat, aren't you afraid that Daoist will blame you?"

Princess Xiang smiled and pointed to Xichun, "She wears black clothes and eats meat."

It made everyone laugh again.

Princess Shao ordered someone to serve wine, but it was only placed on the table of the elders, and all the girls were served sherbet.

"You are still young, it is impossible to let go of drinking here today." Concubine Shao said with a smile: "After five or ten years have passed, all of you here have left the court, how about I invite you to drink and enjoy the plum blossoms again? "

As soon as the matter of the cabinet was brought up, the girls were of course embarrassed, so no one made a fuss about drinking anymore.

In fact, the girls in the boudoir in Beijing are a little afraid of leaving the pavilion.

Because they saw the sisters-in-law and aunts setting the rules at home, seeing them worry about the concubine's room, worry about the family, and be short-tempered about the parents. Sometimes they felt that the sister-in-laws were just as verbose as the nuns.A young girl like a tender lotus is afraid that she will become like this.

Just like Baoyu said, when a woman gets married, she becomes a fish-eye pearl, but not because the woman is voluntary, but because the pearl is fragile, and the brilliance will inevitably fade if no one cares for it.

But looking at Princess Shao, they suddenly felt that they could live a wonderful and happy life even outside the pavilion, and even lost the shy rules in the boudoir, and could be their own masters.

When returning home, Lin Jiang and Daiyu took a car, and Sanchun sisters took a car, both of which were Zhulun canopy cars.

Tanchun leaned on the pillow, still feeling uncontrollably excited. Princess Shao had never imagined that she could live such a happy life.

Even welcoming the spring and cherishing the spring has been inspired a little bit of vitality, this is the charm of Princess Shao.

What was being talked about in Sanchun's carriage was Princess Shao, while Lin Jiang asked Daiyu what happened today.

After hearing that Daiyu had bumped into the beauty's eldest son, Lin Jiang was very surprised, and then comforted Daiyu, saying: "This must be an accident. Princess Shao even avoided suspicion at the queen mother's birthday banquet in the palace, for fear of causing her family's eldest son to get sick." , let alone arrange this at home.”

Daiyu nodded: "I know that the princess is definitely not such a person. And I see that Shizi himself didn't do it on purpose. At that time, even he was shocked and recognized me as..." Thinking of that sentence, Daiyu was supportive. I can't help laughing.

Lin Jiang thought it was amused to imagine Shizi's mood at that time, and then nodded to agree with Daiyu's point of view: "Shizi is a good man, so he must not have deliberately offended my sister. I guess he only thinks about how to apologize to my sister now."

It is estimated that in the next few days, she will see the elder son who gave the apology a few more times in the Imperial Hospital.

A gentleman is cautious about his independence. Only those who are still gentlemen in private can really have a good character.

And Daiyu and Lin Jiang happened to have seen Zhou Liheng's behavior in private - even if there is no benefit, and at the risk of tearing face with the prince, they must do the right thing in their hearts, do the right thing, and protect the reputation of irrelevant people and benefits.

This kind of character is enough to make people trust.

So although Daiyu was startled today, she was not angry.She could see at a glance that Zhou Liheng definitely didn't know that there were many girls in the study outside and deliberately barged in.

In the past, he knew through the wall that he was not such a person, but after meeting him once, Daiyu became more certain, and understood why Lin Jiang always said that Prince Shao was a pure and kind person.

His eyes are beautiful and gentle, with the warmth of the winter sun, clear and magnanimous, without any darkness that cannot be said to others.

Daiyu suddenly realized that she had lost her mind for a while, and she couldn't help but blush.

Fortunately, it was getting late, and it was not very bright in the car. Sister Jiang probably didn't see it.

In fact, Lin Jiang saw it, but she just pretended not to see it with her chin resting on her cheeks, but she felt very sorry in her heart: after walking to Prince Shao's mansion today, she deeply felt that Princess Shao was a wonderful person, and she heard from Daiyu that she met her by chance. Zhou Liheng - this made her suddenly realize that the beauty, the eldest son and younger sister Lin, are a match made in heaven!

Unexpectedly, Zhou Liheng was ill, and it was a strange disease that was recognized in the capital and could not be said to be a relative.

Lin Jiang was anxious when he thought about it: What is wrong with him? When will he have another attack?

-

At this moment, not only Lin Jiang was in a hurry, but Prince Shao's residence was also in a hurry.

After the banquet was over, Princess Shao heard from Lady Yang that Zhou Liheng and Daiyu had met by chance, she was very surprised.

"What do you mean? We met? How did we meet? Where did such a coincidence come from?" Princess Shao asked four times in surprise.

Lady Yang was also knocked out of her mind, and said: "Wangfei didn't see it with her own eyes. When the two of them stood face to face like this, the flowers and plants in the corridor really lost their color."

Princess Shao expressed her envy: she envied that Lady Yang was at the first scene.

Then he said worriedly: "You see, Heng'er doesn't mean to be ill."

Lady Yang shook her head: "It seems that there is something important in the palace, and the Shizi took the book from the emperor and left in a hurry."

Although Princess Shao didn't know what happened yet, she also guessed that it was almost inseparable: "This child must have had a kind heart in the palace again, and it is probably because there is another quarrel among the princes."

The slender eyebrows frowned: "The palace is really chaotic. In fact, I don't want to ask Heng'er to study in the palace because of the incident of the eldest princess during the Chinese New Year. The prince refused, and only said that it should be done." Take advantage of the current chaos of seizing the heir apparent, ask Heng'er to go experience it for a while. Sigh, it's really worrying."

Lady Yang has nothing to persuade her, and she doesn't need to persuade her.

She knew that the concubine actually had a mirror in her heart. Since the son of the prince will be a serious prince in the future and take over the glory of Prince Shao's mansion, he must walk this way. He must learn to distinguish right from wrong in the palace while being able to take care of himself alone.

Just as a farmer must know how to farm, and a blacksmith must know how to forge iron. No one in the world can enjoy wealth without paying a little labor.This discernment of the court situation is a necessary skill for the royal family, especially the good royal relatives who want to be decent and want to mix.

No matter how much the princess loves the eldest son, she can't stop him from learning such life-saving skills.

If it is really because of the current pampering that the son of the world cannot judge the situation of the world and the situation of the court well, and if he really takes over the throne in the future, but is led into the muddy ditch of seizing the heir, then it will be beyond redemption.

At least Prince Shao is healthy now, and the son is still young, even if he has been tricked by the princes once or twice, and if he does something wrong, King Shao can stand up for him and keep the title and status of Prince Shao's mansion.

This is what the prince said, when you stumble, you should take advantage of your youth, but when you are old, you will easily fall and be unable to get up.

On this day, Zhou Liheng didn't return home from the palace until night.

The first thing he did when he returned home was to ask to see his father, who he was most afraid of.

He is not a person who becomes confused when his brain is hot and his heart is soft. This matter is not small, and he has to explain it to his father.

The book bestowed by Prince Shao's mansion was given to the fifth prince by him. King Shao must not be ignorant of this matter, so as not to cause trouble to Xiao Qiang in the future.

So Zhou Liheng didn't run away either, and mustered up the courage to go to the study in the front yard to ask for a meeting.

Unexpectedly, the Chief Historian of the Palace came out with a smile: "The prince has gone to the backyard, my son, you can go to the place where the princess is looking for it."

King Shao and Princess Shao were discussing their son's marriage - they were clearly at home and they were the biggest masters in the family, but they lowered their voices as if they were thieves.

"What? We've all met today? If Heng'er doesn't fall ill, he will probably be fine!" King Shao's face flushed with excitement.

The concubine nodded, and whispered: "When he comes back, you are not allowed to scold him and punish him, lest you punish him for being sick. I will ask him what he means in private."

Before Prince Shao could speak, Lady Yang reported outside: "The prince is here." Prince Shao immediately put on a black face—this is because he is used to being a tiger father.

When Zhou Liheng entered the door, he knelt down and admitted his mistake. He said that today's incident happened suddenly, the fifth prince was in trouble, and he was determined to help.

King Shao sat cross-legged on the low couch next to the tea table, his face dark as ink: "Do you know what's wrong?"

Zhou Liheng bowed his head: "Son shouldn't be beheaded first and then played. He should first send the books in the mansion to His Highness the Fifth Highness to relieve the siege, and then come back and report to his parents."

He hesitated for a moment, and in the caring and encouraging eyes of his mother, he still said to his father: "Father, if this happened to the other princes, the son will not rashly reach out and take care of it."

Zhou Liheng has a pure and kind temperament, but he is not a fool.

He could see the filth and filth among the princes, and he was on guard.If another eldest prince, eighth prince, etc. came to beg him, he would doubt whether the other party deliberately hid his book, and wanted to make a big deal out of his hands to harm his brother.

But he can clearly see the plight of the fifth prince, and he can trust his own judgment over the years for the character of the fifth prince.

After all, this is the prince he is most familiar with. If he still can't see clearly that someone stabbed him in the back, then he should suffer from this and grow his memory.

King Shao snorted coldly: "You still know the seriousness, you didn't think to hide this matter from you and me."

Zhou Liheng shook his head: "Son doesn't dare. There is only one set of white jade paper plates in the mansion for the "Zhou Shi Wen Fu" bestowed by the emperor. If this matter arises with His Majesty in the future, the son can't let his father know nothing. The emperor answered."

Seeing that King Shao's face was loose, Princess Shao said, "Get up and sit down and talk."

Then he asked Zhou Liheng again: "Your Highness the fifth figured it out now, who stole his book?"

Zhou Liheng shook his head: "He said Zuo was just his brothers. Just now His Highness the Fifth Highness also discussed with me. The person who stole the book must not just steal it, maybe there is another way."

King Shao became interested: "Oh? I'd like to hear, what did you two discuss? What do you think those thieves will do to harm others?"

Zhou Liheng: "If His Majesty the Fifth Prince takes the book from our house and hands it to His Majesty tomorrow, maybe someone will report that 'the fifth prince's "Zhou's Prose" has been picked up", then His Majesty must ask His Highness the fifth prince, since he lost his own. Book, then where did this book come from, it is estimated that some people will label him as a bully."

King Shao smiled: "Not bad, you two children are not stupid if you can think of this."

Princess Shao raised her hand and twisted King Shao, thinking that he would not even praise his son well.

Before Zhou Liheng came back from the palace today, the fifth prince ordered his father-in-law, who followed him, to tie up all the little eunuchs who were in charge of sweeping the palace yesterday and today, and lock them up first.

When Zhou Liheng came back, the two discussed for a while, and the fifth prince said: "You are kind enough to help me make up for this mistake, and I can't implicate you and Prince Shao's mansion. I will go to see my father first in the morning tomorrow. The emperor is willing to see me, so that I can confess my mistakes one by one."

After all, he was still young, and when he found out that the book was gone, he panicked. He was afraid that his father's gaze, which was already thin, would disappear, so he hurriedly thought about making up for it.

But when he calmed down, he couldn't help but feel that maybe he was so desperate that he jumped into someone else's trap because he was eager to conceal his mistakes and omissions.

The princes all know that Prince Shao doesn't get along with the princes very much, that is, because of calligraphy, he gets closer to him.

It is also well known that Prince Shao’s Mansion has the same set of "Zhou’s Prose" as the prince’s. Perhaps this situation is based on his relationship with Prince Shao’s son—if Zhou Liheng refuses to lend it to him, he will not explain it to him. It is urgent, maybe the relationship between the two is broken.And if Zhou Liheng is willing to give him a book to make up for it, he will be involved in the "crime of deceiving the emperor" together.

It is a calculation that can be done on both sides.

So the fifth prince had a discussion with Zhou Liheng, and he still wanted to take the bottom line, report the matter to the emperor first, and show an attitude of admitting his mistake.

As for this "Zhou Shi Wen Fu" is also indispensable: the emperor knows the truth, but it does not mean that the emperor is willing to reveal the truth, and is willing to see his sons pecking at each other like black-eyed chickens in front of his eyes, and there is even a thief among the princes.

The emperor is the most concerned about face, especially when the emperor is still there, the emperor must ensure that he is of the same line as "fathers are kind and sons are filial, brothers and brothers are respectful", so as not to give the emperor a chance to beat his throne.

The fifth prince can understand the difficulties of the father, as long as the grandfather is still there, the father will be at peace, even if it is a whitewashed peace!

The fifth prince admitted his mistake to his father in private, but on the face he still took this "Zhou Shi Wen Fu" to hand in homework with his brothers.

"If there are people who don't have eyes and want to make trouble." The fifth prince couldn't help but sneer when he thought of these brothers: "Then they jumped out to annoy Father."

Who wants to see the sons fighting to the death just after February, when the dragon raises its head, sacrifices to the heaven and the earth, and sees the sons fighting to the death, even putting the hat of bully on the siblings?

The emperor must be annoyed by the person who framed his brother and instigated disaster.

It's just that the fifth prince is also considered unlucky. The book was stolen for no reason, so he has to go to the emperor to confess his guilt first.

Zhou Liheng explained everything about it, and King Shao saw that they understood what was going on, so he stopped scolding his own son and scolded other people's sons instead: "These careless little animals born by the emperor..."

Princess Shao reached out her hand again, and patted Lord Shao: "Since there is nothing important, you can go out."

Don't say anything bad, no matter how bad the princes are, they are still the sons of the emperor, and it's no one's turn to say anything.

Prince Shao was slapped and kicked out by his wife, so he waved his sleeves and went out.

Xin Dao didn't say this, it was because the emperor drank with him after last year, and after drinking two more glasses, he scolded himself: "Uncle Wang, look at the one or two little bastards I gave birth to, and I don't know what I did wrong. A whole family of bad luck!"

King Shao was also speechless at the time, and he didn't care much about the concubines, but he felt that his concubines would not be a bunch of animals.

The emperor was still ruthless: "When I am free, I will skin them one by one!"

What he said was so ghostly, Prince Shao was sober at the time: "You don't need to be skinned and cramp..."

Only then did the emperor say, "Oh, I meant to peel off their skins one by one." That meant beating them up.After that, he sneered: "There are those people who have no heart, really peeled their skins, and dirty my reputation for nothing."

It was the emperor's words that made King Shao aware of the suspicion of the eldest prince's concubine's death. I'm afraid it wasn't the other prince who framed rumors to kill the eldest prince, but that he really had the heart of a beast to kill his wife.

As for the idleness that the emperor said, it must be after the Supreme Emperor Immortal left that he could free up his hands to catch the government and his sons at the same time.

After King Shao left, the mother and son of Princess Shao remained.

Lady Yang took the nourishing soup that the princess wanted to drink before going to bed, and quietly withdrew.Seeing that Lady Yang was not in front of her, Zhou Liheng followed Princess Shao's old habits, first added a spoonful of honey and a spoonful of rose dew to the bowl, stirred them well, and then asked her mother to drink.

Seeing this considerate and filial son, Princess Shao smiled.

She didn't go around with her son, and went straight to the point: "I heard that you came back home today, and you ran into Miss Lin outside the courtyard?"

When Princess Shao mentioned Miss Lin, Zhou Liheng blushed as if boiling water. Princess Shao was afraid that her son would start smoking, so she couldn't help but reach out to fan him in winter.

"Heng'er, what's wrong with you?" Princess Shao was very worried. Could it be that our good son is an unmarriable lonely old man?Just to mention Miss Lin, he looks like he is going to be sick.

Zhou Liheng shook his head quickly, and then said: "Mother, I, I was rude to Miss Lin today, and I don't know how to apologize..."

Princess Shao couldn't help smiling: This is the fate.

Zhou Liheng's gentle temperament is exactly the same for men and women.In his eyes, there seems to be no difference between the maids who serve in his courtyard and the boys who usually go to school with him.

Princess Shao is a girl from a scholarly family, and her knowledge is different from that of ordinary people, and she has no habit of giving her son a concubine at home.

But she is not stuffed, it does not mean that the maids have no subjective initiative.

Zhou Liheng was crowned heir at the age of ten. Among the young masters in the palace, his status is undoubtedly aloof, and his appearance is even more outstanding.It was inevitable that some of the maids who served him wanted to become side concubines in the future.

As Zhou Liheng grew older, some of the maids' thoughts were boldly put into practice.

And when Princess Shao heard that the maids in her son's room had a wrong idea, and that the one who served tea in front of her son always kept watch in the middle of the night, and always wanted to get close, she found a day to change a batch of maids to serve him.

All plain and taciturn
