The Times Spent in Pretense

Chapter 114: Suspicion

Views:

Standing in the warm sunshine, the prince suddenly turned his head to look at King Ying and King Ning who were following behind him, showing them a kind and friendly smile.

The King of England was so disgusted by this laugh that he turned his head to the side.

But the sentence "I love him" from Fushou County Lord was like a knife stabbed in the heart of the King of England. He knew why the prince suddenly laughed so disgustingly, but he didn't want to be like the prince.

King Ning thought relatively simple. He didn't expect that Fushou County Master looked soft and weak. He didn't expect to be so kind to the third brother of the prince. No wonder he could stand in front of the third brother of the prince when the assassin arrived.

Life is alive, if someone is willing to protect each other with their lives, it is really lucky.

"Fu Shou County Master, you really know how to joke." Concubine Lin sneered, "Prince has a noble status, who dares to provoke him?"

"It is because of his noble status that everyone feels that he will not suffer any grievances." Hua Liuli frowned, "When he was wronged, none of you saw him because you didn't take him to heart."

People only care about whether the person they care about is good or not. For the person who doesn't care, people often only see his beauty and see his mistakes.

As for whether they are wronged or not, whether they are sad or not, what does it matter to them

"Huh." Concubine Lin sneered and stopped arguing with Hua Liuli.

Hua Liuli didn't care whether she heard these words or not, she stood up and said, "The servant girl sees that Concubine Lin's appearance is not good and needs to rest. The servant girl retire."

"Let's go now?" Concubine Xian was still a little unfulfilled, and she still wanted to say a few more words from Fushou County Master.

Hua Liuli blessed her body: "Niangniang, tomorrow is the day of Du Taishi's burial. The minister and daughter want to go to Du's house to put a stick of incense on his old man's house."

Concubine Xian suddenly remembered that the day of Du Taishi's burial is tomorrow.

After the death of Taishi Du, His Majesty named him the word "Wen Zhong". The Du family asked the monks and Taoists to recite the Sutra of Rebirth at home for 21 days, and there was an endless stream of literati who went to the Du family to pay homage.

Du Taishi has a very high status among the literati in the capital and surrounding prefectures. In the past, this old man liked to pick on the crown prince from time to time, and she was quite happy. Unexpectedly, after being seriously ill, he would praise the prince from time to time in front of visitors. Even when he died, he praised the prince.

This old man, how can he not be firm in his life, since he likes to scold the prince, he should scold him to the end, how can he boast

"If that's the case, then this palace won't keep you." Concubine Xian squeezed out a smile, "Be careful on the road, come here, and send Fushou County Master."

"Niangniang." The maid next to Concubine Xian reminded, "This is Concubine Lin's concubine's palace."

You are doing pie, too much like the master.

Concubine Xian glanced at Concubine Lin. Concubine Lin was no longer a big deal. It would be better for her to have someone send flowers and Liuli to go out in person, at least with peace of mind.

"You guys are waiting here, you can come if you have something to do." The prince turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

King Ning looked at the back of the prince leaving, the Prince of Fushou was about to come out, why did the prince walk away

shy

"I've seen you ladies, I've seen two princes." Hua Liuli didn't expect many people to stand in the yard and saluted them.

"Hello, Princess Fushou." Concubine Rong and Concubine Shu gave Hua Liuli a very gentle smile, which made Hua Liuli a little flattered.

She remembered that these two empresses had never looked at her so kindly before.

"My lord and my lords, I'm going to visit Concubine Lin, the ministers and daughters don't bother." Hua Liuli nodded slightly to King Ying and King Ning, and walked out of the inner courtyard of Concubine Lin's palace.

There are several persimmon trees planted under the fence of the yard. Fruits are already hanging on the trees, and the green ones look particularly gratifying.

"These trees were planted after Concubine Lin entered the palace." The maid who came out with the flowers and Liuli was the person next to Concubine Xian. She glanced at the persimmon and explained: "Concubine Lin and Empress Gonghui entered the same year. Palace, but Concubine Lin has never been pregnant, so let people plant persimmons in the yard."

"Oh." Hua Liuli nodded, she thought that persimmons were grown for eating.

"Fu Shou County Lord." King Ying chased after him, saw Hua Liuli standing under the persimmon tree, stepped forward and said, "This king is going to leave the palace just in time, the county master and this king will come together."

The maid next to Concubine Xian changed their expressions when they saw King Ying chasing after him.

"Thank you for your kindness, Prince, but His Royal Highness has already prepared a carriage for the servants and daughters." Hua Liuli took a step back and supported Iris' hand, "I dare not let the Prince accompany you."

"Don't dare, or don't want to?" King Ying couldn't help but said, "This king won't eat you."

Iris and Yu Rong turned their heads and glanced at King Ying, but if you keep doing this, the county master may beat you.

"Your Highness is joking." Hua Liuli didn't want to have too much involvement with King Ying and made the prince sad, so she blessed King Ying and turned around and strode away.

The King's face was not very good-looking.

"Your Highness, please calm your anger." The king's eunuch, who was accompanying the king, comforted him, "The county master has a marriage contract with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. With so many people in the palace, the county master may be afraid that people will gossip, so..."

"I don't need your dog to remind me." The King of England turned and walked out.

The accompanying eunuch lowered his head and hurriedly followed.

"Does the county master really think that the prince is a kind and bullying person?" King Ying strode to catch up with Hua Liuli, "You say that because you don't know him well enough."

Hua Liuli didn't want to pay attention and continued to move forward.

"From childhood to adulthood, the father's favorite was him, and he was used to being domineering in the palace. You thought he was pitiful, but he was just lying to you."

"Your Highness." Hua Liuli stopped and turned to look at King Ying: "Are you trying to provoke the relationship between the courtier and His Royal Highness?"

King Ying looked at the weak girl in front of him, and his voice lowered involuntarily: "This king just doesn't want you to be deceived."

"My lord, the servant girl doesn't know how His Highness treats others, but he treats the servant girl very well." Hua Liuli said, "You said he lied to the servant girl, the servant girl doesn't know the truth, but there are so many women in the world that he doesn't cheat, why? Only deceive ministers and daughters? It means that ministers and daughters are the most special to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"What?" King Ying's full words were blocked by Hua Liuli's remarks. Faced with such an attitude, he was not even interested in speaking ill of the prince.

"Prince Prince's Highness is highly regarded by His Majesty, and has the appearance of being the best in the capital. Such an outstanding son is willing to cover up his emotions and hobbies for the ministers and daughters, and make them happy..." Hua Liuli's face showed a touch of emotion. "If this doesn't prove that His Royal Highness is sincere to his ministers and daughters, what else can prove?"

King of England: "..."

He suddenly felt that he had nothing to say.

"Haven't you ever thought that the prince married you for the power of the Hua family?" King Ying felt that he couldn't give up.

"Your Majesty, you are joking again. Everything in the family of the minister and daughter is given by His Majesty. The Crown Prince is His Majesty's son. What he needs, he only needs to speak to His Majesty. Why should he sacrifice his own happiness to deceive the minister and daughter? Hua Liuli said, "Didn't you say before that His Royal Highness is domineering in the palace? Why should a person who can be domineering in the palace feel wronged?"

"My servant understands." Hua Liuli clapped her palms and looked at King Ying gratefully: "My lord, are you saying these words on purpose to let your servant understand His Highness's love for your servant?"

King of England: "..."

I am not, I am not.

"Thank you for reminding the prince, the minister and daughter will be fine with His Royal Highness, you don't have to worry." Hua Liuli greeted the King of England with a smile.

King Ying took a deep breath and reminded himself to be gentle and not to frighten Fushou County Master: "County Master, this king came to you today to tell you something."

Hua Liuli had a bad premonition.

"This king is pleased with you."

After King Ying said this sentence with a blushing face, he saw Hua Liuli and her maids, looking around nervously.

What is this reaction

"County Lord, there are no suspicious people around." Yu Rong whispered in Hua Liuli's ear, "With the loudness of King Ying's voice, no one can hear what he said ten steps away."

Hua Liuli breathed a sigh of relief, she looked at the red-faced King Ying, and sighed: "My lord, you are not a courteous daughter, it is just regret."

The King frowned: "It's not like that..."

"Does the lord know what the ministers and daughters like?"

"Does the lord know the usual living habits of the ministers and daughters? And what the ministers and daughters like to wear, eat, and where they like to play, you don't know everything."

Hua Liuli quickly interrupted King Ying's words, and a series of questions stunned King Ying. She knew that the King of England would never be allowed to take the lyrical path, so she continued to say, "The lord can't know the minister's daughter, and the minister's daughter has never understood you. What do you like about the minister's daughter, this face?"

King Ying recalled seriously, when he saw Fushou County Master, he couldn't help feeling pity, and wanted to look at her a few more times, was it because she was good-looking

"Actually, it's not the servant girl that you like, it's just because the servant girl almost had a marriage contract with you, you will have a different mood when you see the servant girl." Hua Liuli said, "This person can be me or another girl, Do you understand?"

King Ying frowned, thinking that he seemed to understand a little bit, but he didn't seem to understand too much.

"Your Highness is so smart, you will definitely figure it out soon." Hua Liuli smiled, "The courtier and His Royal Highness have already set a wedding date, and our wedding will be held on August 12 this year. , don't say these words that are easy to cause misunderstandings by others."

Hurry up, hurry up, and you'll be in trouble if you don't go.

The wedding of the Crown Prince and Fushou County Master is scheduled for August 12

King Ying stared blankly at the back of Hua Liuli leaving in a hurry, the whole figure seemed to be stuck in the head, and he couldn't recover for a long time.

Is it because he is unwilling that he thinks he likes her

"Your Highness?" Seeing that the Prince's expression was not right, the accompanying eunuch whispered, "Fu Shou County Master has gone far."

Several of the servants who were serving the King of England had long been frightened by the King's remarks. What did his lord think, that he dared to confess to the future crown princess

What's even worse is that the prince and the prince have never robbed the prince of horses, weapons and gems before, and now they can't even rob women.

Miserable, that's really miserable.

Emperor Changlong laughed when he saw the prince staring at a memorial, got up and picked it up. It was full of useless flattering memorials. In the past, when the prince saw such a memorial, he would just draw a circle and throw it aside. How can he laugh today? so happy

"What are you laughing at?" Emperor Changlong didn't sleep well all night, and there was still a faint shadow in his eyes.

"It's nothing." The prince recovered and shook his head at Emperor Changlong with a smile. Seeing his father's unbelief on his face, Cai said happily, "Fang Cai Liuli told the other empresses that even if everyone in the world doesn't protect their sons and ministers, she will protect them."

Emperor Changlong: "..."

"My son, I'm very happy." The prince smiled brightly, like a very satisfied child. Emperor Changlong looked at the smile on his son's face, and suddenly remembered that Yuan Su hadn't laughed so silly and happy for a long time.

"Just be happy." Emperor Changlong didn't say anything, he patted the prince on the shoulder, "These days, the envoys from various countries have left the capital one after another, and the tortoise shell envoys, in order to successfully leave the capital, do not stop in the capital. Walking around, I see that they can't sit still anymore."

"I don't know what price this third prince is willing to pay?" Talking about the business, the smile on the prince's face became cynical again, "Erchen thinks, Father, you can wait."

"It's up to you to decide." Emperor Changlong has already pointed out, "In the future, they will be your opponents and allies."

Leaving the palace in the carriage, Iris asked suspiciously: "County Lord, what exactly does the King of England want to do?"

"Maybe you want to provoke my relationship with His Royal Highness?" Apart from this, Hua Liuli couldn't think of any other reason. It couldn't be because he liked her anyway, and the King of England had never shown that he liked this kind of thing in front of her.

"At first, His Majesty wanted you to marry King Ying, but he didn't mention it again. It should be that Concubine Xian and Prince Ying did not agree. Now that you and His Royal Highness have set the wedding date, he came out and said this." Yu Rong frowned, "One Don't worry about it."

Alas, these princes in the palace are really dirty, and they don't look good to others.

It's no wonder that the county master feels sorry for the prince. These princes even want to pry the prince's fiancee, which is too bullying.

Concubine Xian heard from the palace maid that her son chased out and confessed to Fushou County Master. She was so angry that she almost slapped King Ying on the face and cursed angrily, "Why don't you use your brain? He spoke evil words and even cursed the Hua family. If I were Hua Liuli, I wouldn't think you liked me, but only thought you had ulterior motives."

"Mother concubine, my son really likes Princess Fushou..."

"Like a fart!" Concubine Xian said rudely, "You said you like people, what have you done?!"

"Your father knows that he often gives things to the queen, but what about you?" Concubine Xian sneered, "Have you ever given them jewelry or silk and satin? Do you know what Prince Gou did when he pursued Fushou County Master?"

"People give jewelry, take people to watch the lake, and give delicious delicacies. When it's cold, they give you a hand warmer, when it snows, you give a cloak, and they also accompany people to watch the stars and the moon." Concubine Xian was trembling with anger, "How about you?!"

Don't talk about giving things, you can't even say sweet words, and he doesn't look like a dog prince to please women, so what are you arguing with Ji Yuansu

The King of England: "My son's feelings for her are true."

"If you don't do anything, don't say anything sincere." Concubine Xian pointed at King Ying and said sternly, "I don't care if you are sincere or fake, but you remember that she and the prince are already engaged. Starting today, You must put away this ridiculous thought, otherwise I can't afford to lose this person without your son who is thinking about his sister-in-law."

The King of England's tiger eyes were slightly red: "Mother concubine, my son regrets it..."

"If you regret it, you will regret it, but there is no regret medicine in the world." Concubine Xian looked at her son kneeling in front of him, grabbed his shoulders, and looked at him seriously: "Ming Hao, you have to remember. By the way, you can go Laugh at your opponent. If you're wrong, just swallow all the bitter fruit honestly. As a prince, you can fight for some things, and some things you can't."

She let go of her hand and touched her son's face distressedly: "Let's put it down. For your own sake and for my own good, don't mention it again in the future."

The virtuous concubine of the British Dynasty kowtowed, and after a long time choked her throat and said, "Yes."

"King Ying is interested in the future crown princess?" In the dim room, a white hand gently picked up the secret report, and suddenly laughed, "The Prince of Jin and the King of Ying were at odds, if it was because of a woman's quarrel Get up, I wonder what the excitement will be like in the capital?"

"My lord, what do you want to do?"

"I want the imperial family of Jin to be in chaos, so that they have no time to care about other countries' affairs." The man sneered, "I don't believe that the emperor of Jin really has no grudge against the Hua family."

"But the emperor of Jin has even handed over the guards to Hua Yingting..."

"What if the Hua family is suspected of collaborating with the enemy?" The man threw the secret report aside. "The emperor is suspicious. As long as someone can prove that the Hua family is collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, no matter what the final result is, Emperor Changlong will be suspicious of the Hua family."

If the Hua family is not removed, he will not be at peace for a moment.

He asked Emperor Changlong to personally pick up the knife of suspicion and kill the Hua family.

The author has something to say: King of England: I am sincere.

Concubine Xian: Who believes
