The crown prince is the heir apparent, so many brothers, plus the followers of the brothers, how many pairs of eyes are staring at the East Palace!
He also had to maintain the most upright image in order to gain the protection of scholars all over the world. The power of Confucianism is the backbone of a country, and even the emperor cannot be easily overthrown.
Therefore, it is even more impossible to get involved with merchants. You must know that the most despised by scholars are merchants.
It would be nice to be able to maintain the daily life of the East Palace just by relying on the salary and the output of a few Zhuangzi and a few shops on the surface! Want to do something else, how can it be so easy
But that's fine, at least be frank, the emperor will never be suspicious of him, the emperor's suspicion is a consequence that no one can afford.
Li Fu said again: "If you meet the Crown Princess in the future, you don't have to show anything special, just pretend you don't know about it, so as not to arouse suspicion! After all, on the surface, I have nothing to do with Donggong!"
Lian Fangzhou nodded with a smile, and said with a smile: "You are worrying too much, too much! How could I have met the Crown Princess? At least I will go to the palace on the New Year's Eve and ask An to have a face-to-face meeting!"
Li Fu also felt that he was a little worried, so he smiled at himself and said, "I'm just talking!"
The couple babbled and talked for most of the night before falling asleep in a daze.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day when Li Fu left Beijing.
The news of the Liaodong Rebellion has not yet spread among the people, so the imperial court will naturally not spread such bad news, and Beijing and Beijing know very little about it.
The troops from the northern battalion had already headed to Shenyang Guard in Liaodong, where they gathered for training with the soldiers gathered from thirteen guards in the area. Li Fu and other nine generals took only 2,000 troops from the three major battalions in the suburbs of Beijing, and rushed to And will.
After Li Fu had a secret talk with Lian Fangzhou that night, he was so busy the next day that he would go out at dawn and enter the house wearing the moon and stars.
When he came back, his son had already fallen asleep.
Tomorrow at the beginning of Mao's time, we will set off. As usual, we will stay in a camp outside the city tonight.
In the middle of the afternoon, Li Fu found some free time and hurried back to the mansion to bid farewell to his wife and children.
Unexpectedly, the son was taking a nap in the afternoon, with his chubby little hands raised above his head, whether he was sleeping soundly or not.
Li Fu gently pinched his pink and tender little face, and smiled at Lian Fangzhou: "Take Xu'er well, maybe I can take him to ride a horse when I come back!"
Lian Fangzhou gave a "puchi" smile, but his eyes were slightly moist.
She nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry! The little thing is doing well! You have to come back quickly, otherwise I will teach him to call him Daddy, and he still doesn't know what Daddy is!"
"..." Li Fu was quite speechless, but also quite depressed. He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Okay!"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
After Li Fu left the capital, Lian Fangzhou ordered Steward Qian to explain carefully, keep an eye on the door, and explain to Luo Guang in detail, especially when patrolling at night, the guards are strictly forbidden to drink, gamble and visit brothels outside. Don't wait any longer!
Things like drinking and gambling are the most likely to be tricked and exploited, so she has to guard against it.
He also ordered Steward Qian to promise everyone to work hard in peace and security. After these few months, when the master comes back, everyone will be rewarded!
In a blink of an eye, it was August fourteenth.
It was only seven or eight days before Li Fu left the capital, but Lian Fangzhou felt that it had been a long time.
She couldn't help laughing at herself, but she was so helpless! In such a hurry, I can't even finish the Mid-Autumn Festival in Beijing!
As usual the next morning, he would enter the palace to congratulate the queen.
During the Chinese New Year, because she was pregnant and was in confinement during the Dragon Boat Festival, Fangzhou didn't even enter the palace, but she had to go tomorrow no matter what.
That night, Chun Xing and Hong Yu took the little maid to carefully check the Gao Ming clothes that had been carefully checked out a few days ago and were not damaged, and then put them in the closet, so they can wear them tomorrow morning.
He went out early the next day, and Lian Fangzhou gave the nanny a detailed instruction the first night before going back to his room to rest.
Early the next morning, dressed properly, Lian Fangzhou took Hongyu and went out together, and Liu Chunxing looked after the house.
The carriage stopped slowly at Zhenshun Gate, Lian Fangzhou and Hongyu got off the carriage one after another.
In the twilight morning light, she looked up at the tall vermilion palace wall and the two huge vermilion gates with nine bowl-sized brass nails in each direction, and sighed softly, unconsciously feeling A feeling of ecstasy.
Hongyu helped her to go forward, and the little eunuch who had already led the way bowed forward to pay her respects, and led them to the palace.
On the wide square in front of the Kunning Palace, there were already a lot of people here and there.
Lian Fangzhou chose an inconspicuous place to stand, and turned his head boredly to look at the distant palace walls and the continuous flying eaves and roof ridges.
When the time came, under the guidance of the female officer Si Yin, the wives lined up in two rows on the left and right according to their grades, and one by one they entered the Kunning Palace to bow down and congratulate the queen.
The second group of people had just entered when they heard a commotion behind them.
Amidst the low and anxious persuasion voices of the court ladies and eunuchs, a woman's voice was particularly sharp, crying and angry, yelling at the palace ladies and eunuchs, "Get out!", and her steps approached.
Everyone was taken aback.
Before she could react, the woman was crying and running past the crowd, rushing into Kunning Palace like a gust of wind.
The court ladies and eunuchs who persuaded and blocked all cried out secretly in their hearts: Now, a fine meal is indispensable!
Lian Fangzhou only saw the woman's ostentatious red cloak and shiny black riding boots, but didn't see her face clearly, and couldn't help wondering: on such an important day today, outside the Kunning Palace, everyone holds their voices and holds their breath, respectfully Who the hell is this woman who dares to cry like this! If she dared to rush straight into Kunning Palace, she was sure that the queen wouldn't blame her? However, with such ignorance of etiquette and disregard of decency, even if she is a princess who is favored again, the queen will definitely not forgive her lightly, right
Lian Fangzhou was puzzled, and someone beside him had already answered the question.
Women like to gossip, and the servants couldn't help but start talking in whispers when they saw this.
"Trance is Princess Liujun?"
"Who else has such courage except her!"
"I have long heard that this princess is arrogant and unreasonable, today I have seen it!"
"It's too courageous, it's really—"
"I don't know what this is for?"
"Cut! What else can I do? It's just 'housework'!"
As soon as these words came out, many people laughed strangely knowingly.
One person sighed softly again: "If you want me to say that the prince of Liujun is too shameful, the concubine of this county is too jealous, but there is no one in General Li's house—cough, cough cough!"
Lian Fangzhou, who was listening carefully, instantly felt several evasive eyes sneaking at him, and he couldn't help but curled his lips, and gave a silent and cold smile.
From the sound of it, the matter should be that Liujun Wang was bothered, and the princess of the county was annoyed, and ran into the palace to find the queen crying and calling the shots
