Yucuo of the Red Chamber

That's right, the person who came was the Crown Prince. After meeting the Empress Dowager, he quickly turned to salute Princess Hechang.It is said that the crown prince is the crown prince, under one person, but this dynasty governs the country with benevolence and filial piety, and Princess Hechang is an elder to him, so he has to practice family etiquette.Princess Hechang had already stood up, and immediately saluted.Only in this way can everyone be considered polite, and both etiquette and filial piety can be achieved.

When they all met, Daiyu didn't see the mat in the blink of an eye, but it was inevitable to see the crown prince's big gift, so she had to resign herself to it, and while she was about to kneel, she said inwardly, "Little girl Lin pays homage to the crown prince."

In fact, the Crown Prince had already noticed Daiyu since he entered the door, and he was taken aback. Even if he saluted the Supreme Emperor, he was also an ape, and kept secretly looking at Daiyu. Living.Only when Daiyu spoke did she suddenly come to her senses, such a beautiful woman is exactly what a gentleman dreams of, how can he blame him for being rude?The Crown Prince hurriedly stretched out his hand to support Daiyu, while returning the salute: "Miss Lin is free. Miss Lin is the guest of honor of the emperor's grandfather, such a big gift cannot be tolerated."

Unexpectedly, being supported by the crown prince's hand, Daiyu hastily stepped back half a step, seeing that the crown prince returned the gift to her instead of the gift, she suddenly didn't know what to do.

The empress dowager saw it at a glance, and quickly smiled and said: "Qi'er, don't scare Miss Lin. Miss Lin, since you and He'er are like sisters, and you are also his elder, you can accept this gift. Sit on your seat, don't worry. .”

Seeing this, Princess Hechang hurried over to help Daiyu, still wanted her to sit down, but refused to hold her down.Here the Supreme Emperor is the longest and the most honorable, they have the final say.Daiyu had no choice but to sit down reluctantly, and bowed to accept the crown prince's salute, but her heart was still beating wildly, and her face was flushed with shame. Feeling the crown prince's burning eyes, Daiyu was nervous all over, and she lowered her head and dared not make a sound.There was a faint scent of lilies, which seemed to be there; a warm breath, which made him feel uneasy; his feet were still standing there, facing Daiyu, needless to say, he was still looking at her.

The crown prince was looking at her, just now from a long distance, the empress dowager was followed by a girl who was as slender as Liu Jiaobi than Chunlan, and now he looked at her closely: she was all thin and elegant, with a flying high bun and jade hairpin slantingly inserted, and her eyebrows were as far away as ever. The eyes are dewy, the face is like a hibiscus in water, the white is rosy but not brilliant, the air is like a deep valley orchid, graceful and swaying;Just looking at it carefully from top to bottom and bottom to top, the crown prince was stunned and stunned.

"Qi'er, why don't you supervise the country for your father, what are you doing here? But are you lazy?" The Supreme Emperor was really sorry, he coughed several times and the Crown Prince didn't hear him, so he had to raise his voice and asked.

"Uh..." The crown prince quickly turned around as if waking up from a dream, calmed down, and hurried back, "Go back to the imperial grandfather, my grandson is coming over there, there is something important I want to ask the imperial grandfather to advise." The father just left yesterday, there were not many things, and the more important memorials were sent to the court, and the father wanted to see it in person. Just now, Jing Zhaoyin came to tell his grandson about something, and the grandson couldn't help it. So I came to ask the imperial grandfather for an order, but...seeing that the spring is just right now, I liked it for a while, so I made a detour. Everything my grandson said is true, and I ask the imperial grandfather to forgive me." As he spoke, he saluted the Supreme Emperor incessantly .

"Okay, Qi'er, come and sit with the emperor's grandmother. If you have something to do, you should do the business first, and it's not too late to come back to play when you go back or tomorrow when you're free. Spring is short, you I am in a hurry to enjoy it, but things are still waiting to be dealt with. Don’t do this again next time, otherwise your father will be angry if he finds out, and the emperor’s grandmother will not dare to stop you, remember?” The empress dowager felt sorry for her grandson, and stretched out her hand In the past, she sat in front of him, rubbed his neck, and reproached him gently.

"When you have something on your mind, you must be careful. How can you see the spring scenery in this pool? The imperial grandmother protects you like this every time, and you should be more sensible. If this is always the case, how can you let the imperial grandfather and your father Don't worry, the emperor? Although the world is peaceful now, it is only roughly the same. There are still many things to do, you have to remember." The Supreme Emperor couldn't help but sighed, it's just that this grandson has always been in his favor, but just to advise him like this , still asked, "If there is anything important, let's talk."

The crown prince didn't dare to be distracted anymore, he stood up and listened to the Supreme Emperor's instruction, and quickly responded: "Go back to the emperor's grandfather, what the emperor's grandfather and grandmother taught is that grandson has written it down. It's just today's matter..." Having said that, she stopped talking and glanced left and right. Princess Hechang hurriedly got up and took everyone out to play.

After everyone left, the crown prince replied: "Going back to the emperor's grandfather, just now my grandson was reviewing the memorial in the imperial study, and Jing Zhaoyin hurriedly replied. It's not a big deal, but it involves the Jia family. It's difficult, and my grandson doesn't know how to deal with it, so I asked my grandfather to show me. The general situation is that someone went to complain early in the morning, saying that a waiter in his inn was missing. The shopkeeper said that many people saw it. The eldest son of the family had been to that inn, and later he looked for the younger brother, but he couldn't find him. Although it was never confirmed or filed, the complainant said with certainty that this happened in the capital again. Great job."

"How could such a thing happen?" Both the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager were taken aback, sitting upright and half talking to themselves.

"Going back to the emperor's grandfather and grandmother, the grandson doesn't know either. Father and emperor just went hunting, and now there is such a thing. Moreover, the eldest son of the Xue family has always been known as 'dumb king' and 'idiot', no matter whether it is true or not. I'm afraid people will believe me if I say it. Now that Xue's family is married to Jia's family, and Xue Wang's family has only this only son, if Jingzhao's government wants to investigate, it is natural that he must be arrested. The grandson is very upset because of this. Worried, the Jingzhao Mansion is also hesitant. If they don’t investigate, they are afraid that the people will not accept it. Now that Jia’s mansion is full of tyranny, if the court keeps covering it up, the people’s hearts may be shaken..." The crown prince looked worried.

The Supreme Emperor settled down, listened to the Crown Prince's words, thought for a while and asked: "Qi'er, you have to stabilize yourself first, if you get into trouble, it will be even more difficult. This matter sounds a bit strange, will you Could it be that someone made a false accusation? What did Liu Shou say? Have you figured out the cause and effect of the matter?" Liu Shou was the governor of Jingzhao at the time, and the Supreme Emperor wanted to figure it out before making a conclusion.

The crown prince replied: "Going back to the emperor's grandfather, it seems that the situation does not seem to be a false accusation, so Liu Qing is very cautious. First, Mr. Xue was originally full of energy, and he had relatives and friends to help him. Second, Mr. Xue went to the inn several times, and many people can testify, and he even called the little girl brother, which shows that there is some friendship; third, Mr. Xue ordered someone to carry a big box into the inn last night. Not long after, it was brought out of the inn; fourthly, and most importantly, the shopkeeper was still holding Mr. Xue’s jade pendant, the material and workmanship are definitely not owned by ordinary people. There must be something wrong with this matter.”

In this way, I am afraid that it is not true, but it is somewhat credible. The Supreme Emperor pondered: "Have you searched around the inn? Where did Xiao Er disappear? Did the shopkeeper say why Xue Pan took Xiao Er away?" two?"

The crown prince also thought about this, Liu Shou also thought about it, and asked about it. Speaking of it, no one can but doubt Xue Pan.According to what Liu Shou said, last night the mistress was watching the yard for a guest official, Xue Pan went to look for him, and came out after a while.Later, some neighbors came to talk to Xiao Er, which was a common occurrence, so the shopkeeper naturally went to call him, who knew that there were dark lights in the courtyard, and there was still some chaos in the underground, but Xiao Er disappeared.All of a sudden, I was startled, and I searched everywhere, but no one was found.The shopkeeper didn't dare to be careless, so he filed a complaint early in the morning.

As for the reason, the shopkeeper didn't dare to talk nonsense, but the dibao who went with him said that everyone in the capital knew that Uncle Xue had recognized a younger brother, and it was embarrassing. As for whether it was related, I don't know.Speaking of which, the shopkeeper brought out the relationship between Uncle Xue and Xiaoer and the evidence.Uncle Xue has always had this habit, and everyone knows about it, so he can't believe it completely.

"It's somewhat believable to say that, but it's just that you can't do anything right without going through the court." The empress dowager hesitated, and sighed, "It's not wrong to call him a fool, Xue Pan, he knows how to cause trouble all day long. , I have never done anything that can stand on the stage. Once this reputation is bad, even if it is not for others, people will not believe it, and the Xue family will definitely be defeated by him."

"The Xue family is only a single seedling of him. He is so incompetent. The Xue family has been defeated long ago, but it would be good to ask the Jia Wang family not to be defeated by him. It's just a pity..." The Supreme Emperor shook his head and said, "It's too late now, The matter has become so troublesome, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with it." Suddenly raised his head, looked at the crown prince and said, "You mean, that Xiaoer disappeared in a guest's courtyard, and no one saw why he disappeared. , did you look for that yard carefully, don’t Xiaoer sleep lazy, or sneak out out of playfulness?”

The crown prince shook his head and said: "Going back to the emperor's grandfather, I just searched the side courtyard roughly, and found that the hall was a bit messy, so I didn't dare to go through it carefully. Firstly, the little girl is hardworking and honest, and the dibao said that the neighbors in the neighborhood know about it; secondly, , that side courtyard is a genius doctor... I heard that it was rented by a genius doctor who had been to the palace, and there were a few imperial things in it. Liu Qing also heard about it, so she didn't dare to search it rashly. But Xiaoer is a big living person, and he behaves like that, so he can't just hide anywhere if he wants to."

"Old mistake?! Didn't he accompany Chunsou?" asked the empress dowager.

"That's right, he should have accompanied me, and Duoduo is here to accompany me again. There is no one in the yard, but there are some things, so the shopkeeper asked a sincere waiter to help him watch, but unexpectedly, something like this happened. , Alas..." The Supreme Emperor sighed.

"Now that things have become like this, the old man must be unhappy if he knows about it. I think..." It is said that the Buddha Kingdom is not sanctified, and there are such things in the capital. I am afraid that it will disappoint him, but the old man The crown prince didn't know about the matter, so the empress dowager started, then stopped, and sighed, "According to me, it's better to let Liu Qing follow up on this case, and make a secret visit first, and let people keep an eye on Mr. Xue. He left and waited for the emperor to come back to make a decision. Then let the proper people guard the old wrong's things, and then there will be an explanation from the old wrong, and there is no need to rashly alarm the Xue family. If you can find the second child It's better. I don't know what you think?"
