"What about you?" Zhong Mingwei let his naughty hands ruin his face, he looked at his little girl nervously and expectantly, "Girl, when did you fall in love with me?"
Those naughty hands stopped suddenly, and the originally smug and delicate face also stopped, but it was just a little startled. A Chou then laughed again: "Zhong Mingwei, I don't want to tell you."
"Why?" Zhong Mingwei was clearly dissatisfied. "I told you everything. It's too unfair that you don't want to tell me!"
Ah Chou looked at his childish dissatisfaction and smiled slyly. While wrapping his arms around his neck, he leaned close to Zhong Mingwei's ear and said softly, "I won't tell you!"
The fifth day of November in the thirty-second year of Jiasheng
capital.
Second Prince's Mansion.
When the second prince Zhong Ming'e came back. It was getting dark.
"Your Highness. We're here." The sedan chair stopped in front of the door, and Liao Chongwu, the personal guard, hurried over and opened the door curtain.
Zhong Ming'e sat in the sedan chair again, and then got out of the sedan chair tiredly. Liao Chongwu looked at him with an ugly expression. I went over to help when I was too busy.
Zhong Ming'e's life is not easy this time around. One is the good news from the residence of the third prince Zhong Mingzheng, the second prince who has been married for seven years but has nowhere to live. It is inevitable that her face will be dull, and Concubine Shu is because of this matter. All these years, he has given him a lot of face, he feels ashamed in his heart, and he has to hold back no matter how much distress he has. This time I'm a little thinner than before, and I don't have much energy.
The second is the affairs of the court, and I don't worry about it. Since Zhong Mingwei was abolished at the beginning of the year, the court has been silent for more than half a year. The voice of the high-profile second prince is still very high. He stands in the court hall every day. He listens to the courtiers' generous speeches for him, and at the same time looks at the face of his father Zhong Zhiheng, not to mention how frightened he is. His grandfather Cui Youan Now he is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Cui's family has risen higher than before, so it can be seen that he has become a thorn in the eyes of others. Today, Zhong Zhiheng called him into the imperial study for lunch, and he never mentioned Cui You'an from the beginning to the end. He didn't even mention the matter of establishing a reserve, but after a meal, he was completely drenched.
"Your Highness, do you want to go to the front yard to rest or go to the back yard?" Liao Chongwu asked in a low voice while helping him into the gate of the mansion.
"The front yard." Zhong Ming'e said, he was so tired that half of his body was leaning on Liao Chongwu's body. Zhong Ming'e was not short to begin with, but he couldn't stand up to Liao Chongwu's tall man. At this time, Liao Chongwu carefully supported Zhong Ming'e, and suddenly Look, it seems that Liao Chongwu is holding Zhong Ming'e in his arms.
Liao Chongwu said with some embarrassment: "But Your Highness, Concubine Shu ordered you to go to the backyard more often..."
Zhong Ming'e shook his head and cut off Liao Chongwu's words: "I'll talk about it later, I'm really tired today."
"Yes," Liao Chongwu responded, and helped him to walk towards the study in the front yard. Through the winding corridors, Liao Chongwu helped Zhong Ming'e to the door of the study. Startled, then lowered his head and reported to Zhong Ming'e in a low voice, "Your Highness, the princess is here..."
Since Zhong Ming'e became an adult at the age of eighteen and opened the mansion, he has lived in the front yard almost all year round except for the time of his wedding. The last time he went to the back yard was when the second concubine Zou fell ill in the first half of the year. Had a meal with Mrs. Zou, and then went back to the front yard. Mrs. Zou has always been a peaceful person. He didn't even go out of the backyard easily, and he never entered the backyard. So speaking of it, he has been there for more than five months. I haven't seen Mrs. Zou before, so seeing Mrs. Zou in the front yard unexpectedly, Zhong Ming'e couldn't help frowning.
"Why are you here?" Zhong Ming'e frowned and looked at Mrs. Zou standing at the door of the study.
"The concubine has something to report to His Highness in person," Zou stepped forward two steps, walked in front of Zhong Ming'e, bowed gracefully, and explained in a hurry while looking at Zhong Ming'e's ugly face, "Mother concubine is recruiting a concubine today." Enter the palace to talk."
Zhong Ming'e's face remained calm, and while standing up straight, he nodded to Mrs. Zou: "Come in."
"Yes," Zou replied, and she got up when Zhong Ming'e entered the study. Instead of rushing in, she looked sideways at Liao Chongwu, "Guard Liao will wait outside."
"Yes, this subordinate obeys." Liao Chongwu bowed hurriedly.
Mrs. Zou looked Liao Chongwu up and down, then turned and entered the study, and then closed the door with a "click".
Facing the closed door, Liao Chongwu paused, then turned and went to the small kitchen.
