"Grandfather, the grandson has retired, and my mother is still waiting for me at home. If I go back late, my mother will definitely be very worried."
Emperor Hongjing waved his hand: "Go."
Little Treasure arched his chubby hand in a resemblance, and let Li Dequan lead him out of the palace gate.
Yuchan and An Shiyi waited outside, took Xiaobao from Li Dequan, and after thanking them, they took Xiaobao to the outside of Qianqing Palace.
Li Dequan returned to Emperor Hongjing, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the little eunuch caught by the imperial dining room has already been recruited, and it was Xizhu who was next to Concubine Kang who ordered him to do it."
Emperor Hongjing snorted and said meaningfully: "Concubine Kang has nothing to do with King Jin."
This is true, although Concubine Kang is a concubine, she has given birth to a princess for many years, and she is also an old man in the palace. She has no conflict of interest with a prince if she has to do anything.
"Concubine Kang and Concubine Qian Xian have frequent contacts, so maybe Concubine Qian Xian instigated Concubine Kang to do it?"
Concubine Qian Xian gave birth to King An. An accident happened to King An. It was obvious that several princes had done it secretly. It is normal for Concubine Qian Xian to be angry.
Li Dequan just bowed his waist and smiled apologetically. He didn't dare to answer, and he didn't dare to answer.
After a while, Emperor Hongjing nodded his knees and said to himself: "These women of mine have more minds than that honeycomb, and they always beat around the bush when they do everything. Since they like this—" He paused, "Shoot the eunuch with a stick, and Concubine Kang's status will drop."
Li Dequan agreed.
If he continues to deal with it like this, he will know what he should know and what he should not know. If it is really Concubine Qian Xian, it can be regarded as a warning. If it wasn't for her, she would have found out who framed her.
However, judging from Li Dequan's perspective in the past few years in the palace, the possibility of it being Concubine Qian Xian is extremely low. It's so easy for people to guess that it's coming from him, and it's impossible for Concubine Qian Xian to live in the palace for so many years and still raise a prince and a princess safely.
Having been by Emperor Hongjing's side for a long time, Li Dequan is also well versed in the emperor's style of handling things. The favor given to you is not necessarily favored, and the punishment given to you is not necessarily punished.
One year, two years, five years, ten years can not be seen overnight, only after a long time can something be seen. Just like the missing master, His Majesty treats the little emperor and grandson of the Prince Jin Mansion very differently. Apart from Mr. Chen's talent and intelligence, a large part of it is because the little emperor's face resembles that one.
However, these thoughts only hovered in Li Dequan's mind for a while, and then buried them in his heart. In their position, don't think too much about what you should or shouldn't think about, only think about what His Majesty thinks, and think about what Your Majesty thinks, in order to live a long and long life.
As for the rest, it's all bullshit.
At the gate of Qianqing Palace, brother Yan is waiting for Xiaobao.
The study room has already finished school, and the emperors and grandchildren of other prefectures have all left. Brother Yan usually goes out of the palace with Xiaobao to go home, so he has been waiting for him.
"Are you in a hurry?"
Brother Yan shook his head silently: "Brother Xuan said he would wait for you too, but he couldn't bear it, so he ran away first."
The two took their respective maids and eunuchs to the gate of Qianqing Palace. Just after leaving the gate of Qianqing, a boy ran towards here like a hot wheel.
When I arrived, I was out of breath: "I thought about it, and I still wait for you to be together. I got rid of the two followers, Brother Yu and Brother Xi, and you agreed to take me to your house to play. Don't talk. count."
It was brother Xuan who came.
Xiao Bao laughed, he just mentioned it casually, but he really remembered it.
"That's fine, but you can't be too naughty when you go to my house, and I have a younger brother, so you are not allowed to bully my second treasure."
Brother Xuan glanced at him impatiently, "It sounds like the young master is bullying people every day, hurry up, look, those two followers of my family are here again."
These two followers naturally refer to Xiao Xizi and the court lady named Ruhua. The two ran over out of breath, with two miserable faces, not to mention how pitiful they were.
The three of them walked out of the palace together, Xiao Xizi and Ruhua had no choice but to cheer up and follow along. It can be predicted that they will definitely be punished when they go back, but whoever is called the young master just refuses to listen, not only to eat other people's meals, but also to play in other people's houses.
Xiao Xizi thought to himself, when he got out of the palace gate, he would send someone to send a letter to the mansion, he couldn't control this little living ancestor anymore.
The three little groups got into the carriage of Prince Jin's Mansion. This was probably the first time they rode in someone else's carriage, but Brother Xuan was surprised for a while. Feeling around in the carriage, even the big soft cushion that Xiaobao used to use, he wanted to pull it up and feel it.
It's a pity that Xiaobao and Brother Yan couldn't get up when they sat on it, he reluctantly came over, threw himself into the cushion, and sighed: "It's so soft, I'll ask my mother to make one for me when I go back. "
Because Xiaobao said that his mother ordered someone to make it for him, this kid would say that. Everything has to be compared with others. Fortunately, Xiaobao is not a real child, otherwise the two will fight.
When he arrived at the Prince Jin's mansion, Xiaobao stayed with brother Yan, he couldn't deal with brother Xuan alone. Brother Yan didn't refuse either, and asked the people in Prince Qing's Mansion to go back and spread the word, and he entered Prince Jin's Mansion together with Xiaobao and Brother Xuan.
Now Huahua not only welcomes King Jin, but also has another person to welcome, that is Xiaobao.
It seemed to know when Xiaobao would come back, so it squatted on the steps in front of the courtyard and waited early, so it stuck to Xiaobao's as soon as he entered the courtyard.
"Meow."
This is not an intimate cry, but Huahua's fury when she sees a stranger.
"Hehe!" Brother Xuan didn't admit that he was frightened, he took two steps back to cover up, pointed at Huahua and asked Xiaobao: "This is your cat, why does it look like a leopard cub. "
Huahua is originally a civet cat. At first glance, it looks like a leopard cub, but it is not. So Brother Xuan soon realized, "It's not a leopard cub. I've seen a leopard cub. Some time ago someone gave one to my dad. It's not like that. This cat is really fat!"
Don't look at Brother Xuan's seriousness, but in fact he still doesn't dare to approach, and stands far away to talk to Xiaobao.
Xiaobao couldn't help but laugh, and Brother Yan also had a smile in his eyes.
At this time, Yao Niang came out from the door.
"I heard that you are back, why don't you go in? Brother Xuan is here, come in quickly, Xiaobao has mentioned you to me several times."
It's not the first time Brother Xuan sees Yao Niang, but it's the first time he sees Yao Niang under such circumstances. It was his good brother's mother, and she appeared in such a crisis situation, Brother Xuan behaved extraordinarily well-behaved, and hurried to Yaoniang's side, avoiding Huahua who had been staring at him.
He was a little hesitant about what to call him, but when he heard Brother Yan call him Aunt Fifth, he followed suit.
"Fifth Aunt, let's go in quickly." Brother Xuan took the initiative to grab Yaoniang's hand.
Yaoniang froze for a moment, nodded quickly and said yes, and then dragged Brother Xuan in first.
Behind them, Xiaobao and Brother Yan almost bent over without laughing. I can see why Brother Xuan acted like this, this little kid is afraid of Huahua.
Brother Xuan is actually afraid of cats, which can add a joke to him who has always been lawless.
The three small groups first went to the main room to meet King Jin, because King Jin was really a cold face, and the children couldn't enjoy themselves with him, so Xiao Bao led Brother Xuan and Brother Yan to the East Chamber .
Brother Yan is familiar with driving, he is familiar with everything, but Brother Xuan is here for the first time.
Everything in Xiaobao's room made him feel novel, and there was obviously nothing surprising about it. Later, Xiaobao found out from Brother Xuan that everyone in the Lu Palace was very nervous about him. Especially Princess Lu, who has everything to eat, drink and wear. No matter where she goes, there are a large number of maids and women who follow her. It is very rare to enter the palace with only two people by her side, just for this matter, Lu Wangfei often chatted with Lu Wang.
So in Brother Xuan's view, it was unbelievable that everyone would go down without the maidservants around to bring up the plate of desserts and fruits. He didn't know that Xiaobao actually didn't like to be surrounded by people, he had put in a lot of effort to be able to be like this now, including not making any mistakes, so that Yaoniang and the maids could feel at ease.
Brother Xuan doesn't like what's in the little treasure room, but the atmosphere.
Brother Yan felt the same way.
Although the two of them are still young, they are actually very sensible. Who would like to be someone who would yell and say no to doing anything.
As for Xiao Xizi, after receiving the message from Prince Lu's mansion, she was in no hurry at this time, and was sitting in the upside-down room with the young servant drinking tea and talking with her.
The prince is right, the young master can't do anything wrong in Jinwangfu, and if something happens, it is the responsibility of Jinwangfu. In fact, Brother Xuan is much safer in the Jin Palace than in the palace. If Jin Wang can let other children have accidents in his own home, it will become the biggest laughing stock in Beijing.
When it was time for dinner, the meal in Prince Jin's Mansion was praised by Brother Xuan again.
His compliment was that he ate a lot, which was several times more than usual when he was being chased and fed by the maid.
After dinner, the three small groups continued to go back to the room to play, until the Lu Palace was urged by people, Brother Xuan was still unwilling to leave. Because it was already very dark, Brother Yan planned to rest at the Prince Jin's Mansion and not go back, anyway, it was not the first time. Because of this, brother Xuan has been reluctant to leave, and has proposed that he also wants to stay overnight in Jinwang's mansion.
Xiao Xizi had a bitter face: "Young master, this is impossible, the princess will not agree."
Brother Xuan stood on the kang with his hips crossed: "I don't care, I won't leave anyway."
At this time, Ru Hua hurried in from the outside, showing a flattering smile to Brother Xuan: "Young Master, Your Highness has come to pick you up in person."
"My father is here?" Brother Xuan looked half-believing, looked and looked, feeling that Xiao Xizi and the two dared not lie to him, so he sat down and asked them to put on shoes for him.
"I'll tell my mother when I go back, I'll come back tomorrow."
The problem is that he is willing to come, and Xiaobao is not willing to play with him. Originally, he planned to go to Prince Qing's Mansion to bring Yueyue back.
In the front yard, because King Lu came in person, King Jin, the elder brother, naturally couldn't avoid seeing him.
When King Lu saw King Jin, he had a bad face, as if King Jin owed him a hundred thousand taels of silver.
King Jin was not used to his stinking problem, so he just sat and drank tea, and didn't bother to say a word to him.
In the end, King Lu couldn't hold his breath, and said with a sneer, "Fifth brother, your little bastard is so smart that he coaxed my brother Xuan to follow your house all day long as a follower, let alone mention it. Now I don’t even want to go home!”
King Lu was probably really displeased in his heart, and he insisted on saying a long sentence without even breathing, and it was loud.
King Jin glanced at him, "Whose species resembles whom."
These words can block the king of Lu, but it is not someone who looks like someone! If it is said that the most useless and most regrettable thing in King Lu's life is that he used to be a little follower behind King Jin's ass for several years.
At that time, he was young, immature, and very rebellious. Obviously, his mother and concubine, Concubine Chen, had already urged him to play less with King Jin. What kind of faction is different and people are jealous and hated, he didn't hear it all in his heart, and said in his mouth, in fact, what should be or what should be.
At that time, King Lu especially admired King Jin. Obviously the Fifth Brother was not much older than him, but his martial arts were so powerful. So Jin Wang learned martial arts, and he also learned martial arts. He dreamed that one day he could defeat Jin Wang, but he couldn't beat Jin Wang.
Not only that, King Jin never relents when he hits him, every time he beats him until he cries for his father and mother, he doesn't even remember that his fifth elder brother is superior and fifth elder brother is inferior, and the two of them cheated on the fourth brother's affection together.
That's all, he still keeps Lao Qi by his side.
Obviously he is closer to Fifth Brother!
Especially if he was beaten when he was young, it was just a little painful, but when he grows up, he still beats himself like that, what is the face of the sixth prince!
So King Lu and King Jin collapsed.
Now because of King Jin's words, King Lu felt even more resentful when he recalled that year. Therefore, when brother Xuan came out, he picked up brother Xuan and left angrily.
King Lu decided to take care of brother Xuan from now on and keep him away from Xiaobao. That little brat is small, he's a smart guy, he can coax the young ones, and he can also coax the old ones. He didn't look at the one who coaxed his father recently, and wished he could be called to his side every day to accompany him, the eyes of the fourth and eighth sons were red with jealousy, maybe they did something to hurt his son!
He was about to give a few words of advice, when Brother Xuan suddenly grabbed his hem, and said with great interest: "Father, let me tell you, I will come tomorrow. I have discussed it with Xiaobao. I will leave school from the palace tomorrow. I'm not going back, I'll stay here tonight."
The words that King Lu was full of were suppressed, and he stared at the little boy in front of him.
The little boy is not guilty at all, he speaks confidently and confidently.
Just like him back then.
King Lu came out on horseback, and he was never used to children, so Brother Xuan sat in front of him.
The father and son ran forward slowly on a horse, followed by four or five guards.
It was almost time to reach King Lu's mansion. King Lu suddenly stopped his horse and waved.
A guard ran up.
He whispered a few words to the guard, and the guard nodded after listening, then turned back and went to Prince Jin's mansion.
In fact, King Lu didn't say anything, only a little gossip reached his ears.
He can't control his own cub, so it's better for that cub to be safe and sound, and don't get his only child in trouble.
Yes, that's it, he is not kind!
Jin Wang's mansion, Jin Wang received the news from Lu Wang, and smiled.
In fact, he already knew about it.
But it's more of a favor, it's no wonder that he didn't beat him less back then! . .
