58. Chapter 58
In April, the spring is getting deeper, and by the end of the year, there is already some heat, and the begonia flowers outside the window are blooming layer upon layer, but they are not moving.
The little yellow door was afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be stuffy, so he walked lightly to the wall and opened the window a little more.
Yang Xu looked at a scroll, closed it suddenly, and said in a deep voice: "Jiang Shun and others have been arrogant, and they have instructed officials to impeach everywhere in the past few days, expecting to pull Jin Mingtang and Dai Jie off the horse, they are afraid that their tens of thousands of dollars will be confiscated." The emperor is soft-hearted and can tolerate them. ”
The voice drifted to the ears of the young man in the crimson official robe who sat below.
He said gently: "Your Highness, don't be impatient, this is a stubborn disease, and it can't be cured overnight." ”
Yang Xu couldn't help but sigh.
Daliang to this day, it is the time of prosperity, but there are a lot of moths, he is full of vigor and complacent, and always wants to govern Daliang better, instead of being like his father, stopping. Thinking of last year, when his father was still a beauty pageant at this age, filling the three palaces and six courtyards, his brows were even more twisted.
Late festival is not guaranteed.
"Huaijing, then in your opinion, let them do whatever they want?" He turned his head to look at the young man.
The person who almost became his cousin-in-law, he admired his quick thinking and full of wealth, and after Wei Lang cultivated the "Records of Wuzong", he took the initiative to mention it to the emperor, and later promoted him to Zuo Zhongyun.
Wei Lang put down the pen in his hand and said slowly: "Your Highness should respond to all changes with the same...... His Royal Highness wants to bring down Jiang Shunzeng and others, and the same is true for them, but compared to His Highness's status in the emperor's mind, they are not worth mentioning. ”
The corners of Yang Xu's mouth curled.
It is indeed an egg hitting a stone, only jumping off the beam clown is not self-sufficient, he has seen too much and exhausted his appetite, he looked at the window and said: "Jin Mingtang went to Huzhou at that time, and touched the bottom of Jiang Shunzeng to some extent, and now he is transferred to Henan, and his father is planning to inspect it, I think Luo Yun is very suitable." ”
Hearing this name, Wei Lang paused slightly, and then said: "Earlier, Lord Jiang was Lord Luo Shangfeng, and the lower officials heard that there was a gap between the two. ”
"Oh," Yang Xu glanced back at Wei Lang, "I forgot that he has some relationship with your Wei family." But if he is open-minded, others cannot say that he is taking revenge for personal gain. ”
The young prince's expression was indifferent, but looking at his eyes, he knew that he had made a decision.
He wants to use Luo Yun.
So Luo Yun will go this time, if it succeeds, it will be reused in the future, if not, I am afraid that it will affect the official career.
However, the companion is like a tiger, he can avoid it once, but he can't avoid it a second time, Wei Lang knows that Luo Yun has been rolling in the officialdom for more than ten years, and he has no half ability, and he will never be valued by Lord Jiang back then. He didn't put his beak anymore, and he was in danger of being rich, even if Luo Yun himself was there, he might not be unwilling to accept this opportunity.
Half an hour has passed since I came out of the East Palace.
Different from the past, there are palace people coming and going from time to time on the trail path, remembering what the prince said before, today is Princess Pauline's birthday, and he will go to congratulate the six princes and ask him to go back first.
Probably to have a lot of fun.
He walked straight to the palace gate, in addition to the usual forbidden army, there were six more palace people at this time, and the palace people headed by him were named Cuiting, and when he saw him, his cheeks were red, and he saluted: "Lord Wei." ”
It's no wonder that the two know each other, Wei Lang is Zuo Zhongyun, who often enters the palace to accompany the prince, and Cuiting is the palace person next to the queen, and he has several fates.
Wei Lang saw her at the door and asked casually, "But are you waiting for your guests?" ”
"Yes." Cui Ting still lowered his head, afraid that he would see him blushing.
In addition to the emperor, there are only princes, princes, or elderly ministers who come to discuss political affairs, and they rarely see such young and handsome men, and they can't help but shake their hearts. Especially at the age of being like Cuiting's flower, he has never understood the cruelty of this deep palace, and he still has some girlish longings.
But Wei Lang didn't stop, she whispered behind him: "The slave maid is waiting for a few girls, the girl of the Liu family, the girl of the Luo family, ......"
Subconsciously, Wei Lang's figure paused: "Third Miss Luo? ”
"Yes." Cuiting replied.
He bowed his head slightly and walked forward.
The sedan chair man walked briskly, and at this time he had carried Luo Baoying to Yangwei Hutong, and went out along this narrow alley, and it would not take long to reach the palace gate.
Because the curtain blocked the air, the sedan became more and more stuffy, Luo Baoying wiped her forehead with a handkerchief, and leaned her body against the sedan wall. She hadn't seen the queen for a few years, maybe it was timidity, her heart was pounding, she was a little nervous, and she was speculating about what kind of attitude she should use to face it when she went to the palace for a while.
After all, if she had changed her skin, if she was the original, she would have to throw herself into her aunt's arms and tell her her heartfelt feelings.
Thinking of all the intimacy in the past, she couldn't say the sorrow, sighed faintly, and lowered her eyes.
The sedan chair driver outside didn't know why, and suddenly the sedan chair was crooked to the side, only to hear the sound of "click", her whole person fell straight down, and only heard the sound of horses' hooves trampling in her ears, as if someone was galloping past the horse.
The sedan chair was slammed to the ground, and Xiao Huangmen screamed: "Who is so bold that he dares to collide with the palanquin in the palace?" Then he instructed the palanquin man, "The handle of the palanquin is broken, so hurry up and carry another one!" "My heart is angry, but the man on the horse is gone like the wind, what can I do? He went out of the palace just to welcome Luo Baoying, and this matter must be done.
The sedan driver hurriedly agreed.
At this time, there was a small sedan chair in front of the alley, and Xiao Huangmen recognized the entourage on both sides, his face was full of smiles, and he stepped forward and said, "Lord Wei has come back from the palace?" ”
"Yes." Jiuli asked, "What's going on with you here?" ”
"Don't mention it!" Xiao Huangmen was annoyed, "I don't know which one of the rampages that doesn't have long eyes, and asked the sedan chair man to lift it crookedly and hit the stone pier, isn't it broken?" I came to pick up Miss Luo San into the palace......"
As he spoke, he saw the curtain lifted, Wei Lang walked out of it, the scarlet robe was like a bright hibiscus flower, suddenly blooming in this slightly gloomy alley, the surroundings were bright, Xiao Huangmen opened his mouth, and the words behind him did not continue.
"It turned out to be a third cousin." Wei Lang looked at the flat sedan chair with a concerned face, "If you don't mind, can you let the official see her?" The third cousin is still young, so I don't know if she is injured. ”
is a relative, and Xiao Huangmen knows the closeness of Wei Lang and the prince, so he usually worries about how to stutter, where will he refuse, and said in a loud voice: "Naturally, the slave and maid have to wait for the sedan chair to come anyway." ”
He stepped aside in amusement.
Although the wooden handle of the sedan chair was destroyed, the people inside were not affected, Luo Baoying secretly thought to herself how she could meet Wei Lang so coincidentally, she stretched out her fingers to pin a lock of hair that brushed her cheeks behind her head, and was about to get up, but saw the slender fingers in front of her pry open the sedan curtain, revealing a slit as big as a palm, bringing the light in. A pleasant voice came into her ears at the same time: "Today's birthday of Princess Pauline, it is so lively, and I invited you to go, no wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he wanted to congratulate the six princes." ”
Light as a breeze, but when it comes to the Six Princes, the tone is not the same.
Luo Baoying's heart moved.
Earlier, she felt strange, because Princess Pauline, the eldest aunt was very disliked, and it was not a big birthday, so she was to choose a princess for the six princes through this matter!
The sixth prince is fifteen this year, according to the traditional rules of Daliang, he should have been crowned the king of the domain, but Yang Yi was quite popular with the emperor and stayed until he was fifteen years old.
She immediately understood the reason why Wei Lang said this.
He was reminding her.
So, could it be that he deliberately waited here specifically to inform about this? Luo Baoying lowered her eyes and hid a hint of teasing, these three cousins really care about themselves! When will he be in charge of her life's affairs? Whether she marries Yang Yi or not, what does it have to do with him?
In the half-light and half-dark sedan chair, she sat quietly, but her cheeks were like beautiful jade, exuding an ivory luster.
Wei Lang said: "But it's hurt? If it's inconvenient, you don't have to enter the palace, the mother is kind-hearted and will never blame you. ”
She was so smart that she could understand what she meant.
Unexpectedly, Luo Baoying smiled lightly: "Third cousin, I'm not injured." ”
The smile was innocent, as if it was filled with the freshness of spring.
Wei Lang was slightly stunned, and then his brows wrinkled, knowing that the queen wanted to choose a daughter-in-law, would she still go? Yang Yi is fifteen, she is twelve, the age is appropriate, although she is younger, but she will be thirteen next year, and the vassal kings of all dynasties have married early, like King Jingjiang went to the fief at the age of thirteen.
In his opinion, Luo Baoying is very likely to marry Yang Yi.
Who would have thought that she would not go down the ladder, what did she do?
If you want to say that she is more than calligraphy and horse racing, all in order to gain a good reputation in Kyoto, it is still reasonable, but what about being a princess of the domain? It's not a good thing!
His eyes were dark, and he looked down at the ignorant little girl opposite.
Luo Baoying pretended not to know, raised her head slightly and said: "I heard that there are many strange flowers and plants planted in the Imperial Garden, which are invisible to the people, and this time, I will definitely open my eyes." However, the third cousin often enters the palace, maybe he is tired of seeing it," she paused, "Don't delay the third cousin to go home, I'm going to leave too." ”
Under the eviction order.
Wei Lang loosened his fingers, lowered the curtain, and didn't talk to her again.
If she's going, she'll go.
As a cousin, what should be done has been done, and no one can stop her from entering the fire pit, and when the time comes, she is really chosen, but I am afraid that her family will be sad.
The dark blue curtain swayed slightly, revealing the maroon light boots he was wearing.
Luo Baoying pursed her lips, thinking that she didn't want to accept his love, a rare opportunity, how could she not go to see her aunt? As for Yang Yi, she knows her aunt's style best, and she will never give any vassal king a backing comparable to that of the prince, her father is a capable minister, and there are relatives like the Wei family, how can she be willing to marry herself to Yang Yi?
I heard that he was talented, so let's get together and enter the palace, so that he can be a good mother, and let the emperor see that the reserve candidate is not a crooked melon and a cracked date.
But in the end, only one that is not threatening will be chosen.
Luo Baoying saw a lot, but she didn't know where, and when the new sedan chair came, she sat in.
Wei Lang watched her leave, and sat in the sedan chair with a cold face.
Jiuli saw his son-in-law's appearance, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, since he learned the news in the palace, the son-in-law immediately made people wait here, specifically to intercept Luo Baoying, but the girl insisted on going her own way, and it was no wonder that he was angry.
Speaking of which, the ordinary son's joy and anger are never on his face, he is always light and light, and he is also rare to see, so he is busy telling the sedan chair man to hurry up.
In the narrow alley alley, the two sedan chairs hurried in opposite directions.
