It's really exciting to run after grabbing the male supporting role [Quick wear]
Chapter 181 The Prince is a Twin
"Your Majesty, this old slave was wronged." The chief eunuch tried several times before he got up from the ground, "This old slave is just going to help the empress see if your majesty's sober soup is ready, and there is absolutely nothing that the prince said, please the emperor Check it out."
A eunuch hurried down from the palace, took what Lin Su handed over, and hurried back to present it to Emperor Ming Cheng.
It was a piece of news written in cloth, Ming Chengdi looked at it and said: "The matter has been settled, the prince can rest assured?"
"Are you from the Crown Prince?" Emperor Ming Cheng looked at the eunuch below and asked, "Is today's matter related to the Crown Prince?"
"You, I have kept you by my side for many years, but I didn't expect you to be the prince's subordinate." The queen's lips trembled, she looked at the eunuch below and said sharply.
Now that the matter is discovered, he can only abandon the car to save the handsome man. If it is said that his own people are involved in the matter of the prince, I am afraid that the position will not be stable.
The eunuch knelt on the spot and was obviously stunned: "Empress Empress, you..."
"Fuhai, it's not that this palace doesn't spare you, but that this palace doesn't tolerate people who betray the lord. Since you belong to the crown prince, this palace can't protect you. Only your nephews, because of the affection you have served for many years Come on, I will take care of you." The queen got up and knelt down in front of Emperor Ming Cheng, "Your Majesty, for the sake of his many years of service, please be lenient."
The eunuch was trembling all over, but at this moment, he bent down, knocked his head on the ground and said: "The slave was confused for a while, and was bewitched by His Royal Highness, please don't hurt the family, just punish the slave."
"You're talking nonsense. What you just said outside the palace is that you belong to the queen." Lin Ting'er rarely saw this kind of scene. She didn't know why these people would be so upside down. Passed by His Royal Highness, he looked like he was dying of illness, the palace was bright and bright, only the main hall had candles in the East Palace, and when we went there was not even a servant outside, how could he have the energy to plan such a big event? thing!"
06 Xin said that he really has the energy to plan such a big event, our prince is amazing.
Emperor Ming Cheng wanted to get angry, but was stunned by Lin Tinger's words.
The palace is all managed by the queen, and there is not even a servant outside the palace of the crown prince of a country. It is easy to see whose handwriting it is.
"The empress is so quick." Lin Su sneered, "As Ting'er said, if the crown prince can even buy the closest eunuchs around the empress, wouldn't the whole palace be controlled by the crown prince? .”
"His Royal Highness, the Duke of the Protectorate's marriage with His Highness the Crown Prince will naturally speak to the Crown Prince. This Palace just sent Fu Hai to fetch His Majesty's hangover soup. I really don't know if this will happen again. Your Majesty, my concubines stay here every day. In the harem, how could such a big event be planned." Then he tugged at the hem of Emperor Ming Cheng's clothes and cried, "The concubine was wronged."
Emperor Ming Cheng looked at the successor who was kneeling in front of him. He still knew what was going on in the palace. He also let things happen with the crown prince, just to make the life of the queen and Jin'er smoother. People are so sick that they can't get up, and the queen doesn't have the brains and energy to plan such a big matter. She only took the opportunity to frame the prince in order to eliminate dissidents and suppress the prince.
Lin Ting'er was very angry, but was signaled by Lin Su's eyes to stand obediently.
Emperor Ming Cheng looked at the eunuch kneeling on the ground and said: "Everything is up to you. You betrayed the queen, framed the crown prince, and you should be punished for the crime. If someone comes, drag him down and kill him directly."
His tone was very light, as if beating someone to death was nothing more than a normal thing.
The servant knelt on the ground and trembled: "The empress, the empress, I know I was wrong..."
He was dragged out, and the dull sound of sticks kept ringing, but the people outside didn't even scream, and their mouths and noses were obviously stuffed.
It took only a cup of tea, but a guard came in with a bloody stick and reported: "Your Majesty, that man has been beaten twenty times and is already dead."
Beating a man to death with twenty sticks is definitely not a spanking in the ass.
Emperor Ming Cheng hummed, but he didn't pay any attention to it. Instead, he got up and looked at his successor, "The crown prince is my son after all. Empress, don't go too far, you won't be able to live a good year."
He opened the hem of his clothes and left directly. The sound of starting up the car sounded, and the queen fell to the ground and was helped up by several maids beside her.
The emperor's words were basically equivalent to a public execution. Even though the queen was sitting on the side, she was trembling slightly. She looked at Lin Su's position from a distance, and suddenly clenched her fingers.
Lin Su, the eldest son of Duke Protector, she really underestimated this family.
The emperor had already left, so there was no point in going on with the banquet, and the clan left one after another. Father Lin walked up to Lin Su and sighed: "Go back."
Lin Su turned around, Lin Ting'er followed dully, the place where the eunuch used the court stick was outside the hall, blood flowed all over the place, some spread to the bottom of the steps, and some splashed on the pillars, being held by the eunuch and maid Wipe off with water little by little.
It was rare for Lin Tinger to be reticent. She didn't look at Father Lin until she got into the carriage home and said, "Father, it was clearly framed by the empress. Why did your majesty just beat that servant to death?"
"You know, you don't know the emperor?" Father Lin patted her on the shoulder and said, "In the palace, sometimes the truth is the least important thing. Mother of the country, the country is in chaos."
"Calm down..." Lin Ting'er was trembling in her breath, "Brother, don't you find it hard to accept?"
Her brother said to help her get out of there, but if he was with the prince, that kind of place is unbearable. It is more terrifying than the battlefield where people directly wield a knife to kill people. The battlefield relies on martial arts and skills, but there Relying on just a few words and a few objects can turn black and white and confuse right and wrong, which really makes people feel creepy just thinking about it.
"I don't think so." Lin Su looked at her and said, "I was the one who caught the eunuch. The moment I caught him, he was doomed to die. Ting'er, I was also pushing hands."
It is impossible to bring down the empress by a single eunuch, she will definitely abandon her car to keep her handsome, and Emperor Ming Cheng will definitely calm things down, this is a certain ending, what he wants is to plant a seed of doubt in Emperor Ming Cheng's heart , let him know in his heart that the woman he protects and loves is not so kind-hearted, and the ultimate goal is just to choose Xiao Tang from her.
"That's because he did bad things, and he deserves to die." Lin Ting'er said, "Then I helped arrest him, and I was also a pusher."
She just felt that she wasn't suitable there, but his brother's words... At that time, on the battlefield, the enemies were being tricked, so she just followed behind and was in charge of harvesting. In a place like the palace, her brother should be able to adapt well, right? No, no one can beat him anyway.
"Okay, okay, let's just forget about today's affairs. If it weren't for the fact that you like that prince, father wouldn't bother to get involved in the messy affairs of the royal family." Father Lin didn't like court habits either.
No matter how thick the armor on the soldiers is, sometimes it can't stop the literati from provoking their tongues, which is really disgusting.
"I don't like the prince, father, don't talk nonsense." Lin Ting'er subconsciously said.
Lin's father stared at her with wide eyes: "You don't like the crown prince, why do you want father to ask for a kiss? Your skin is itchy, right!!!"
Father Lin's roar came out of the carriage. Seeing the big slap coming, Lin Ting'er directly opened the door and jumped out of the carriage. After a few ups and downs, she went directly to the roof: "Father, calm down, I'm leaving first."
The cold wind came in from the car door, and Father Lin didn't have to reprimand him, so he could only look at Lin Su: "Look at your sister, it's fine for her to be in the southwestern city, how can a royal marriage go back and forth like this? Come down, she really doesn't want to marry when the time comes and she dares to run away directly, believe it or not?"
Lin Su naturally believed it, so he dared to say the word "rebellion" to her without any scruples, and he knew that his sister didn't think much of the royal family.
"Don't worry, if she really doesn't want to marry at that time, I have a way to make the royal family withdraw the engagement, so don't worry about it." Lin Su laughed.
"What can you do?" Father Lin only felt troubled after staying in the capital for a few days.
"It's not time for her to retire, don't worry." Lin Su said.
Father Lin could only suppress his anxiety, and missed his wife's life very much. He really couldn't handle this kind of family house marriage.
A few pots of fire were withdrawn from the East Palace, and when the moon was in the zenith, a person came hurriedly and knelt in the palace: "Your Highness, what happened at the palace banquet today is as you expected, the third prince has been imprisoned. into the dungeon."
The candles in the hall were not brightly lit, but the candles next to Xiao Tang's seat were very bright. He sat sideways on the table beside the couch and flipped through a book. When he heard the report, he raised his eyes slightly: "Nothing happened?"
The third prince, Xiao Jun, was expelled, and the successor mother and son had no reason to watch. That woman was not the master of peace.
At that time, his consciousness was dazed, and he couldn't pay attention to staring at this place, but he didn't expect that there was nothing wrong here.
The attendants lowered their heads and reported: "The queen's personal eunuch Fu Hai was captured by the son of the protector of the country and entered the palace. He had a token in his hand for you, the prince. His majesty beat him to death with a stick, and even the queen was punished."
Xiao Tang had no mood swings at all, but when he heard that the fingers that were holding the pages of the book tightened suddenly: "Did he happen to meet?"
"I heard from the eunuch who led the way that they stayed by the lake outside the hall for a while, and they were caught later." The attendant reported.
Xiao Tang sat up straight, his eyes were a bit complicated, he planned this matter carefully, even if the queen wanted to suppress and frame him, there was no evidence, logically speaking, no one except his confidants would know, but he always felt that Lin Su knew it, he had a deep intuition that that person knew it.
Clearly knowing but still helping him solve the last trouble, is he showing his favor?For his sister, or for the future Antai of the Southwest?
But even if he ascended the throne as the emperor, the power in the southwestern border would also be weakened. The [-] army was in the hands of others, and sometimes it was not even mobilized by the emperor. If it was not checked and balanced, it would sooner or later be out of control.
However, with such scheming and scheming methods as the prince of the protector, how could he not understand the current situation in Southwest China.
Xiao Tang couldn't figure out what he was thinking, he only knew that if he was his helper, he would be able to get twice the result with half the effort, but if he was his opponent, it would be the most terrifying opponent he has ever encountered in this life, and if he was really an enemy, he might not can win.
"Your Highness, what's the problem?" asked the attendant who came to report.
"It's all right, send a gift to Duke Huguo's mansion, and make it clear that it's for Miss Lin, thank you for coming to visit me today." Xiao Tang pointed at the table.
Since there is already a marriage contract and the person on the same boat, some things are simply settled. No matter what happens in the southwest city, when he ascends the throne as emperor, give the woman a grace and let her find her true heart. Just like his mother, he spent his whole life guarding in this high-walled inner courtyard.
What happened at the New Year's Palace Banquet cannot be concealed. The third prince was thrown into the dungeon, fearing that he would never live again. In the palace where the Empress is confined, there are two major events that may affect the situation in the court. For festive occasions, it is common to visit relatives and friends, but this year, even the capital is a bit deserted, and the time to and from each other is simple.
The gift from the East Palace was delivered on the first day of the new year, and the eunuch who gave the gift was very respectful: "His Royal Highness is grateful for Miss Lin's visit, so I sent these small gifts to thank Miss, saying that his illness has recovered, please don't worry about Miss Lin. "
"Don't worry, don't worry." Lin Ting'er just wanted to run after saluting, "When you go back, tell His Royal Highness that I'm a girl's family, and if you have anything to do in the future, just contact my brother directly."
She spoke rough, the eunuch had never seen such a heroic girl in Beijing for many years, so he could only take a step back and replied: "Miss Lin, don't worry, I will tell you when I get back."
The eunuch bid farewell and left, leaving only two brocade boxes on the table. Lin Ting'er looked at Lin Su, who had just finished sword practice and was drinking tea, and felt a little broken in her heart.
"Brother, why don't you take a look at what you got?" Lin Ting'er pushed the brocade box over.
Father Lin just had a competition with Lin Su, and he was also sitting at the side. Hearing this, his face frowned: "The crown prince gave it to you, what do you want your brother to see?"
Lin Tinger: "..."
Dad, don't hurt me!You are my dear father!
"What my father said is that since it was given to you, you should keep it well and show me what to do." Lin Su laughed.
Lin Tinger: "..."
Ahhh!If I had known earlier, she shouldn't have been fascinated by some sister-in-law for a while, but now, she might die under his brother's jealousy one day.
"Brother, brother..." Lin Ting'er laughed so hard that she was about to cry, "Just take a look for me, what if he wants to kill me?"
Father Lin almost spit out a mouthful of water: "Then he doesn't like his life too long? Why have you become so weird recently?"
"I... I'm weird?" Lin Ting'er pointed to the tip of her nose, feeling like crying, she got up and said, "Okay, whoever wants this gift will get it, anyway, I don't want it!"
She ran away without a trace. Father Lin looked at the two boxes and sighed, then looked at Lin Su and said, "Look at her attitude now."
"Father, don't push her too fast. She has experienced in the battlefield, so she may not be very used to the atmosphere in Beijing. It will be fine after she adapts for a while." Lin Su laughed.
He got up and saw the two boxes opened, one contained pearl hairpins and the other contained jade pendants, both of which were worth thousands of gold, but no matter which one was Lin Tinger's favorite.
These two things probably weren't chosen by Xiao Tang, but by his servants, that's why they chose these things that ordinary women love, but they are not suitable for Lin Tinger.
The eunuch went back and forth, repeating to Xiao Tang what the Huguo Gongfu heard, he said every word, but Xiao Tang frowned slightly: "She really said that?"
"Yes, I dare not lie to His Highness the Crown Prince." The eunuch said respectfully.
"Then is she still satisfied with the gift I sent you?" Xiao Tang asked again.
The eunuch showed embarrassment: "Well, Miss Lin hasn't opened it yet."
Xiao Tang rubbed his fingers: "Forget it, you go down first."
The eunuch hurriedly retreated, Xiao Tang tapped his finger on the table, and the attendant at the side asked: "It's just a gift, Your Highness seems a little worried."
"I have no intention of being happy with her, but if the Protector wants to marry a daughter, he really doesn't have to choose a sick and weak body like me, and she seems to have no intention of getting along with me." Xiao Tang pondered.
That gift was not chosen by him, but it was also for him to see. The daughter of the Duke Protector likes to dance with spears and sticks, and fights in the battlefield. If you really want to please her, giving her a sword is better than a pearl, hairpin and jade pendant , but he has no intention of being interested in her. Naturally, he is just well-behaved and won't do what she likes.
"Since neither side has any intention, isn't it just meeting the prince's intention?" The attendant didn't understand his worry.
"Not entirely a good thing." Xiao Tang said.
There is no such thing as a pie in the sky. Southwest does not need to be mixed in the muddy waters of Beijing. Lin Tinger has no intentions for him, and there is no need to help him. The only breakthrough is Lin Su. What does that person want? ?
For him to exert so much effort, it must be a big deal.
He is used to trying to figure out people's hearts with the worst thoughts, only in this way, the people he entrusts will not disappoint.
Although the empress is grounded, preparations are still underway for the marriage between Duke Huguo and the crown prince. There are six ceremonies for the wedding. Even though the emperor bestows the marriage, some procedures are still unavoidable.
It can take days just to ask about the name, not only the name of the woman, but also the names of the people in the family, and even the fortune-telling in the Qin Tianjian.
Lin Su and Lin Tinger are twins. Lin Tinger was straightforward when giving her own birthday, but when she left, she became anxious: "Brother! What should I do! If this continues, I will really get married. If you don't want me to think about it again!" If there is no way, I will tell the prince that you were the one who encouraged me to propose marriage!"
"What's the rush? We have to choose auspicious dates for fortune-telling. The birthdays of parents and brothers in the family have to be fortune-telling. After a delay, it will be after the fifteenth day." Lin Su patted her on the back of the head and said, "If you have this skill, why don't you go to school?" Yuan Deng saved him from coming out."
Lin Tinger clicked her tongue: "What do you want?"
Lin Su looked at her with a smile: "After finishing the matter, you can choose the weapons from me."
Lin Tinger's eyes lit up: "No problem, wrap it on me, what do you want me to do?"
"Come here with your ears." Lin Su waved at her.
Lin Ting'er leaned over to listen, her eyes became brighter the more she listened, and when she stood up straight she gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother, this is you."
"Not yet." Lin Su said with a smile.
"Let's go." Lin Ting'er ran fast.
Her invitation was delivered to the palace, when Xiao Tang received it, he was sitting in front of the mirror, staring at the mark between his eyebrows in a daze.
He is Shuang'er, but the imprint has been extremely faint since he was a child, and the empress even covered him with makeup when he was born. What is the difference between myself and ordinary men.
But now the faint mark on his forehead has become more and more red in the past few days, which means that his health has improved, but it is also more and more difficult to cover up. If the makeup is accidentally wiped off, others can easily aware.
"His Royal Highness, the medicines tested by those people that day are very effective. I have not heard you cough for several days, and now the mark has deepened, which means that your health has indeed improved. This is a good thing." Looking at the mark between his eyebrows, he said, "If the Empress Yuan had a spirit in heaven, I would be happy for you."
"The medicine he gave is really good medicine." Xiao Tang raised his hand and spread the thick ointment on the spot, seeing that it was consistent with his skin color, he didn't take the invitation card, but took it from the table beside the table jade bottle.
There are very few people in Beijing who really care about him. Although he forced him to take the pills that day, it seemed that he was annoyed by his unbelief and delayed his illness. Although he is not a good person, the grace of saving his life is unforgettable. .
Whoever treats him well and who treats him badly will always be kept in mind.
"Then is your highness going to the appointment?" Cun Zhi asked.
"Since I want to go to the appointment, I would like Miss Lin to invite my son to go with me." Xiao Tang picked up the greeting card and said.
He needs to find out what the person's purpose is before he can take the next step.As for Xiao Jin, his feet are now grounded, he really doesn't have to do anything by himself, and he will mess up some things.
"The subordinate ordered people to do it." Cunzhi said.
"Also, what happened to Concubine Chu?" Xiao Tang lowered his eyes and asked.
"The third prince entered the Heavenly Prison. Although Concubine Chu has not demoted her rank for the time being, Mingyi Palace is no different from the Leng Palace. Now Concubine Shu is in charge of the affairs of the harem. She has been oppressed by Concubine Chu for many years, and she will not give up such suppression and revenge. opportunity." Cun Zhi said with his head down, "Yi Ying's charcoal fire has stopped, even the winter clothes and quilts have been taken away, and the eunuchs serving in the palace have left quite a few, His Royal Highness can rest assured."
Xiao Tang smiled indifferently: "It's all trivial matters. The Chu family was able to ascend to the position of imperial concubine under the favor of the successors. It is by no means an easy task. Send someone to destroy her face. Don't let people see that it was done by someone else." Yes, only if she has no hope of regaining favor can she be completely relieved."
Back then when his mother's stepmother's family was suppressed and the harem lost power, those people had no intention of sending charcoal in the snow, but everyone could come over and step on it. No one would have thought that after the dignified Yuan Dynasty, the mother of a country died of illness, Instead, he was frozen to death in the ice and snow.
Don't worry, take your time one by one, emperor brother, concubine Chu, successor, and finally... the person sitting on the throne.
If he can't drag those people to hell, even if he dies, his soul will have no face to see his mother who died tragically.
"This subordinate understands." Cun Zhi said.
There are too many concubines in the palace, and the new love is so good that the emperor forgets a concubine he hasn't seen for a few days.
"Your Majesty..." When the chief eunuch came in, the emperor was hugging the newly promoted beauty and laughing. The beauty was very face-saving, her smile trembled wildly, and her words were interrupted. The emperor was a little disappointed when he saw the eunuch.
"What's the matter?" the emperor asked with a cold face.
"Your Majesty, the noble concubine of Mingyi Palace accidentally knocked over the candlestick, scratched her face, and hanged herself." The eunuch knelt carefully.
The emperor was stunned for a moment, threw away the beauty in his arms, got up and sighed: "Why should she... Forget it, since she is dead, let's mourn in the imperial concubine's way."
After serving him for many years, he gave birth to a prince, but after his death, he only got these things.
People in the palace are cold, and the chief eunuch has long been used to it, but he still couldn't help but sigh in his heart after hearing the words.
Even if she is a noble concubine, she is only a concubine. After her death, she will not affect the battle in the palace, nor will it affect the marriage process that the prince is promoting. It can only make the third prince, who is imprisoned in the prison with his last hope, hysterical.
Of course the news was not sent by Xiao Tang, but by Xiao Jin who went there in person. Xiao Tang gave in to him every step of the way, but the concubine Chu and her son were not to be trifled with. , who is also a bastard, has fought with each other for many years, and is even more merciless when things get worse.
After he left, the third prince Xiao Jun was bumped to death in prison.
At this moment, the fifth prince, Xiao Jin, had just returned to the imperial court, and was given a book. Because he entered and left the dungeon without orders, and was suspected of murdering the prince, he was directly beaten and locked up.
"I didn't expect such a stupid person to exist in the world." Xiao Tang put on a cloak, looked at his appearance in the mirror, "How about this Gong?"
"The prince is in good health now, he is a man of unparalleled beauty." Cun Zhi praised.
Xiao Tang heaved a sigh of relief, he was obviously going to talk about something, not really going to admire the lanterns, but he still felt that he couldn't be neglected, so he actually changed three clothes.
No matter how chaotic things are in the palace, it can't stop the folks from having fun. You can see the splendor and brightness outside the palace from a distance in the palace. When the carriage leaves the palace and reaches the street, it is almost impossible to walk an inch, because there are huge crowds of people, shoulder to shoulder, Everyone is immersed in the lanterns, and sometimes they have no time to look around.
"His Royal Highness, you may have to wait for a while before you can pass." The attendant said outside.
Xiao Tang opened the car window, looking at the bustling scene outside, he was a little dazed, he hadn't seen such a bustling scene for a long time, and in his memory, the lanterns on the Lantern Festival were made by his mother with paper, she didn't do well, The paintings are not as beautiful as the lanterns on the roadside, but that is his favorite one.
"It's clear here, but it will be blocked in the front, let me come down and walk." Xiao Tang was a little interested, and when he opened the car door, he was helped down by his attendants.
He didn't wear any markings on his body to show his identity. He got off the car in a dark place, and when he got on the street, everyone saw him as a nobleman and subconsciously avoided him, but no one noticed his identity in the lights.
The wind facing him was slightly cold, but Xiao Tang rarely felt happy in his heart: "Miss Lin said where are you waiting?"
"It is said that it will be at Langmu Bridge, not far in front." The attendant said.
Walking all the way, Xiao Tang arrived at the bridge, and there were also various lotus lanterns floating on the water of the moat, which looked extremely beautiful, but Lin Tinger was nowhere to be seen.
"My lord, do you want to guess the lantern riddle? If you guess it right, you can get a lantern, so as not to be confused." The stall owner beside the bridge said.
Xiao Tang was unintentional, but the lamps on his booth are really beautiful, the patterns and patterns on them are not seen in other places, but for some reason, there are very few people gathered: "Aren't you afraid of losing money by giving the lamps like this?"
"The Shangyuan Lantern Festival is meant for everyone to have fun together. If the little old man loses money here, he can always earn it back elsewhere." The old man who sold the lantern said, "Young master, you can try it, and it only costs one penny."
Xiao Tang signaled, and the attendant next to him handed over a paper, the old man brought out a lamp and handed it to Xiao Tang: "If you guess it, this lamp will be given to you."
That lamp is extraordinarily beautiful. I don’t know how it was made. It looks like a sleeping little fox, sleeping deeply with its tail in its arms. It will loosen its tail and wake up.
Xiao Tang wanted to make a random guess at first, but when he saw the lamp, he couldn't move his eyes, he lowered his head to look at the riddle on it carefully: I know, there is someone behind me picking it up; why did you come out, to show you the way.
With such a beautiful lamp, Xiao Tang thought he would be embarrassed for a long time, but when he saw the answer to the riddle, he breathed a sigh of relief: "The answer to the riddle is the lamp, maybe I took this lamp away?"
"If you guess the answer to the riddle, the lamp will naturally belong to the young master. The person you are looking for will have the answer if you walk a hundred steps in this direction." The old man said.
"You know I'm looking for someone?" Xiao Tang was slightly surprised.
The old man smiled and said nothing, but he didn't talk anymore.
It wasn't that he didn't see him, but he made preparations in advance. He invited Lin Su and Lingmei to come with him. Lin Ting'er might not have such an ingenious idea. Could it be that person's idea?
Xiao Tang put on the lamp, looked at the road ahead and walked slowly counting, when he reached a hundred steps away, there was another stall with only one lamp hanging on it, the stall owner saw him and looked at the bag in his hand. The burning lamp smiled and said, "Master, do you want to find someone?"
"Please tell the stall owner." Xiao Tang said.
The stall owner pointed to the lantern hanging in front of the stall: "Just guess the riddle."
Xiao Tang looked closely, and there was a writing on the lamp: small ones have big needle eyes, big ones cover hillsides; they can cross thousands of mountains, but cannot cross small rivers.
Some guesses about the answer to this riddle, Xiao Tang was pondering, but when he saw the candle flame dancing in the lantern, he said: "It's fire."
"The young master answered correctly, this is for you, turn left from here, and walk a hundred steps." The man said, "But can this lamp be reserved for the next day's lighting?"
"Thank you." Xiao Tang took the silver mask and put it on, he doesn't appear often, the people may not know him, but there are family members of officials in the crowd, if it is troublesome to recognize him, that person is kind.
As for the lotus-shaped lamp, it was beautiful, but it was not as rare as the little fox in his hand, so he stayed and walked over as pointed by the stall owner.
"Your Highness, there will be no conspiracy." The attendant said beside him.
If it was in the past, Xiao Tang would definitely be wary, but seeing this lamp today, he felt a bit of urgency in his heart for some reason, if he really wanted to harm him, why would he use such ingenious thinking: "It's okay."
He went again, but it was a stall for making flowers. It is not uncommon to make flowers. What was strange was that there was a bouquet of flowers on the stall. It was rare for flowers to bloom in the midst of the cold winter months, and it attracted many people. Onlookers, but someone asked, and the stall owner only said that he would not sell it.
Xiao Tang held the lamp and counted a hundred steps, stopped there and said: "May I ask if you can get guidance here?"
The man looked at his mask, then at the lamp in his hand and said, "Just guess the riddle."
"You stall owner really favors one person over another, why can't I guess the riddle when I come here?" A man said dissatisfied.
"Husband, the lamp in his hand is so beautiful, it looks like it's alive." A woman said while holding her husband's arm.
"My lord, this lamp is for sale, I am willing to pay a lot of money to buy it." Another person stepped forward and asked.
"This lamp is my treasure, and I won't sell it." After refusing, Xiao Tang looked at the lantern riddle handed over by the boss.
The letter: The admonisher is speechless, and there is leisure in the door.
"You don't have any objections. I only recognize people who carry fox lamps. If you want to guess, you might as well find out where this fox lamp came from." The stall owner said.
Someone wanted to go up to ask, but was stopped by the attendant and said: "It was solved by guessing lantern riddles at Langmu Bridge, if you want, go there."
Xiao Tang has already guessed the lantern riddle: "Lan character."
The stall owner took out the flowers, handed them to Xiao Tang, and said, "This is a gift from that person to Young Master, Young Master, please go forward 150 steps from here."
The flowers bloomed very well, and they also exuded bursts of fragrance in the cold wind. Xiao Tang persisted in the flowers and continued to move forward. At 150 steps, he got another lantern riddle: Yuli's current twin shadows.
"Shan character." Xiao Tang said.
The stall owner smiled, but gave him a bag of candies, there are lotus seed candies, candied fruit and other things in Beijing, but Xiao Tangwen's candies smelled of milk.
He put away the sugar, and the stall owner pointed out: "Young master, you can go to Wangyue Tower from here."
The answer to the mystery is right in front of his eyes, he already knows that word, Xiao Tang still wants to do it that way for some reason.
Holding a lamp in his hand, holding on to flowers, and holding candy in his arms, is that person coaxing him like a child?
Walking along Lantern Street, it was bright all the way, but at the end of the road, the lights dimmed, away from the crowd, at the end of the lantern shadow, one person was waiting there holding on to the lantern of a fried fur fox, when he turned around, the handsome His eyebrows and eyes were never covered by black, and he was the only one, but it made people's hearts seem to be in the real place.
"The last lantern riddle, Wusuo's hexagram for the north and the south." The man's voice came from the darkness.
"A place with dim lights." Xiao Tang looked at him and asked, "Where's your sister?"
Looking back suddenly, the man was in a dimly lit place.
"She never came." Lin Su said.
"Aren't you afraid that she will be sad if you do this?" Xiao Tang said coldly.
"She took that position for me." Lin Su looked at him and said.
Xiao Tang's pupils dilated for a moment, and he was speechless. Knowing this result, he should have been angry. Who did Lin Su think he was, why should he take him like an object, but when he heard these words, he could only The hot blood that spread from the heart responded to his unconcealable joy that night.
"It seems that the medicine I gave you is delicious." Lin Su walked up to him and said.
The person in front of him seemed to have a more ruddy complexion, and his lips were no longer frighteningly white. Instead, his whole body was slightly steaming due to walking all the way, showing that he was walking in a hurry.
He approached suddenly, Xiao Tang was at a loss for a moment, he didn't want to back off to appear weak, but the distance between the two was too close, so close that he could feel a slight warmth.
"Thank you for the medicine." Xiao Tang wanted to calmly look into his eyes, but found that he couldn't do it. There was a slight heat on his face. This kind of awareness made him feel flustered, "My lord..."
"Do you like the lamp I made?" Lin Su asked softly.
Sure enough, the appearance of trying to be calm is also very cute.
Xiao Tang was a little surprised when his words were intercepted, he pursed his lips and said, "You did this?"
This man is really dexterous.
"Well, do you like it?" Lin Su asked.
Xiao Tang always felt that what he was asking was not whether he liked the lamp or not: "Your Majesty is really skillful, to be able to make such a rare lamp is a masterpiece even if he is skillful."
Lin Su gave a low laugh, and Xiao Tang's heart trembled when he laughed: "Change the subject? If you don't like it, I will take it back."
"Is there any reason to take back a gift?" Xiao Tang looked into his eyes, but subconsciously moved away when his eyes met, and said, "I like it."
"Do you like this flower?" Lin Su asked again.
This time Xiao Tang behaved himself: "I like it."
"Do you like that candy?" Lin Su asked.
"like."
"Do you like Lin Su?"
"I like it." Xiao Tang answered smoothly, but when he blurted out, his breath froze for a moment, but before he could react, Lin Su had already removed his mask, bowed his head and kissed him on the lips.
"I like you too." Lin Su said.
Slight heat spread from his back and palms, Xiao Tang didn't know whether to call him frivolous or presumptuous: "You, you..."
He was actually happy in his heart, this inexplicable joy wanted to be suppressed but he couldn't suppress it no matter what.
Being treated so frivolously, the guards did not stop him, Xiao Tang subconsciously turned around, only to find that the guards who were closely following him did not follow up.
"What are you looking at, your guard is blocked by my people, it's too late to save him." Lin Su grabbed his waist, jumped up lightly, and went straight to the top of the Moon-Watching Tower to stand.
This place was originally built for Moonwatching, with extremely high floors, but inside it is warmed by charcoal fire, and the wine on the table is slightly fragrant.
On the night of the Shangyuan Festival, the moonlight is also extremely bright, all over the roof tiles, and it is difficult to see the stars. Except for the bright lights at the Flower Street, other places feel a little lonely.
The lamp in his hand was blown out by the wind, Xiao Tang picked up the lamp and inspected it carefully, he was relieved when he found that it was not burnt out, but before he put down the lamp, he was embraced from behind, the warmth spread, Xiao Tang He held the hand on his waist, but found that he couldn't pull it away: "Lin Su, you can't..."
"Look outside." Lin Su whispered in his ear.
Xiao Tang raised his head subconsciously, but saw that the city was lit up with dots of light at some point. Those lights slowly rose and spread in the air, like the return of fallen stars, which made people feel only shocked.
There were cheers and astonishment in the distance, and it became more and more lively, and the bitter moon and lonely cold just now seemed to be completely covered by the bright lights of the city.
The higher the light, the more it looks like starlight. Xiao Tang looked at it for a long time.
A eunuch hurried down from the palace, took what Lin Su handed over, and hurried back to present it to Emperor Ming Cheng.
It was a piece of news written in cloth, Ming Chengdi looked at it and said: "The matter has been settled, the prince can rest assured?"
"Are you from the Crown Prince?" Emperor Ming Cheng looked at the eunuch below and asked, "Is today's matter related to the Crown Prince?"
"You, I have kept you by my side for many years, but I didn't expect you to be the prince's subordinate." The queen's lips trembled, she looked at the eunuch below and said sharply.
Now that the matter is discovered, he can only abandon the car to save the handsome man. If it is said that his own people are involved in the matter of the prince, I am afraid that the position will not be stable.
The eunuch knelt on the spot and was obviously stunned: "Empress Empress, you..."
"Fuhai, it's not that this palace doesn't spare you, but that this palace doesn't tolerate people who betray the lord. Since you belong to the crown prince, this palace can't protect you. Only your nephews, because of the affection you have served for many years Come on, I will take care of you." The queen got up and knelt down in front of Emperor Ming Cheng, "Your Majesty, for the sake of his many years of service, please be lenient."
The eunuch was trembling all over, but at this moment, he bent down, knocked his head on the ground and said: "The slave was confused for a while, and was bewitched by His Royal Highness, please don't hurt the family, just punish the slave."
"You're talking nonsense. What you just said outside the palace is that you belong to the queen." Lin Ting'er rarely saw this kind of scene. She didn't know why these people would be so upside down. Passed by His Royal Highness, he looked like he was dying of illness, the palace was bright and bright, only the main hall had candles in the East Palace, and when we went there was not even a servant outside, how could he have the energy to plan such a big event? thing!"
06 Xin said that he really has the energy to plan such a big event, our prince is amazing.
Emperor Ming Cheng wanted to get angry, but was stunned by Lin Tinger's words.
The palace is all managed by the queen, and there is not even a servant outside the palace of the crown prince of a country. It is easy to see whose handwriting it is.
"The empress is so quick." Lin Su sneered, "As Ting'er said, if the crown prince can even buy the closest eunuchs around the empress, wouldn't the whole palace be controlled by the crown prince? .”
"His Royal Highness, the Duke of the Protectorate's marriage with His Highness the Crown Prince will naturally speak to the Crown Prince. This Palace just sent Fu Hai to fetch His Majesty's hangover soup. I really don't know if this will happen again. Your Majesty, my concubines stay here every day. In the harem, how could such a big event be planned." Then he tugged at the hem of Emperor Ming Cheng's clothes and cried, "The concubine was wronged."
Emperor Ming Cheng looked at the successor who was kneeling in front of him. He still knew what was going on in the palace. He also let things happen with the crown prince, just to make the life of the queen and Jin'er smoother. People are so sick that they can't get up, and the queen doesn't have the brains and energy to plan such a big matter. She only took the opportunity to frame the prince in order to eliminate dissidents and suppress the prince.
Lin Ting'er was very angry, but was signaled by Lin Su's eyes to stand obediently.
Emperor Ming Cheng looked at the eunuch kneeling on the ground and said: "Everything is up to you. You betrayed the queen, framed the crown prince, and you should be punished for the crime. If someone comes, drag him down and kill him directly."
His tone was very light, as if beating someone to death was nothing more than a normal thing.
The servant knelt on the ground and trembled: "The empress, the empress, I know I was wrong..."
He was dragged out, and the dull sound of sticks kept ringing, but the people outside didn't even scream, and their mouths and noses were obviously stuffed.
It took only a cup of tea, but a guard came in with a bloody stick and reported: "Your Majesty, that man has been beaten twenty times and is already dead."
Beating a man to death with twenty sticks is definitely not a spanking in the ass.
Emperor Ming Cheng hummed, but he didn't pay any attention to it. Instead, he got up and looked at his successor, "The crown prince is my son after all. Empress, don't go too far, you won't be able to live a good year."
He opened the hem of his clothes and left directly. The sound of starting up the car sounded, and the queen fell to the ground and was helped up by several maids beside her.
The emperor's words were basically equivalent to a public execution. Even though the queen was sitting on the side, she was trembling slightly. She looked at Lin Su's position from a distance, and suddenly clenched her fingers.
Lin Su, the eldest son of Duke Protector, she really underestimated this family.
The emperor had already left, so there was no point in going on with the banquet, and the clan left one after another. Father Lin walked up to Lin Su and sighed: "Go back."
Lin Su turned around, Lin Ting'er followed dully, the place where the eunuch used the court stick was outside the hall, blood flowed all over the place, some spread to the bottom of the steps, and some splashed on the pillars, being held by the eunuch and maid Wipe off with water little by little.
It was rare for Lin Tinger to be reticent. She didn't look at Father Lin until she got into the carriage home and said, "Father, it was clearly framed by the empress. Why did your majesty just beat that servant to death?"
"You know, you don't know the emperor?" Father Lin patted her on the shoulder and said, "In the palace, sometimes the truth is the least important thing. Mother of the country, the country is in chaos."
"Calm down..." Lin Ting'er was trembling in her breath, "Brother, don't you find it hard to accept?"
Her brother said to help her get out of there, but if he was with the prince, that kind of place is unbearable. It is more terrifying than the battlefield where people directly wield a knife to kill people. The battlefield relies on martial arts and skills, but there Relying on just a few words and a few objects can turn black and white and confuse right and wrong, which really makes people feel creepy just thinking about it.
"I don't think so." Lin Su looked at her and said, "I was the one who caught the eunuch. The moment I caught him, he was doomed to die. Ting'er, I was also pushing hands."
It is impossible to bring down the empress by a single eunuch, she will definitely abandon her car to keep her handsome, and Emperor Ming Cheng will definitely calm things down, this is a certain ending, what he wants is to plant a seed of doubt in Emperor Ming Cheng's heart , let him know in his heart that the woman he protects and loves is not so kind-hearted, and the ultimate goal is just to choose Xiao Tang from her.
"That's because he did bad things, and he deserves to die." Lin Ting'er said, "Then I helped arrest him, and I was also a pusher."
She just felt that she wasn't suitable there, but his brother's words... At that time, on the battlefield, the enemies were being tricked, so she just followed behind and was in charge of harvesting. In a place like the palace, her brother should be able to adapt well, right? No, no one can beat him anyway.
"Okay, okay, let's just forget about today's affairs. If it weren't for the fact that you like that prince, father wouldn't bother to get involved in the messy affairs of the royal family." Father Lin didn't like court habits either.
No matter how thick the armor on the soldiers is, sometimes it can't stop the literati from provoking their tongues, which is really disgusting.
"I don't like the prince, father, don't talk nonsense." Lin Ting'er subconsciously said.
Lin's father stared at her with wide eyes: "You don't like the crown prince, why do you want father to ask for a kiss? Your skin is itchy, right!!!"
Father Lin's roar came out of the carriage. Seeing the big slap coming, Lin Ting'er directly opened the door and jumped out of the carriage. After a few ups and downs, she went directly to the roof: "Father, calm down, I'm leaving first."
The cold wind came in from the car door, and Father Lin didn't have to reprimand him, so he could only look at Lin Su: "Look at your sister, it's fine for her to be in the southwestern city, how can a royal marriage go back and forth like this? Come down, she really doesn't want to marry when the time comes and she dares to run away directly, believe it or not?"
Lin Su naturally believed it, so he dared to say the word "rebellion" to her without any scruples, and he knew that his sister didn't think much of the royal family.
"Don't worry, if she really doesn't want to marry at that time, I have a way to make the royal family withdraw the engagement, so don't worry about it." Lin Su laughed.
"What can you do?" Father Lin only felt troubled after staying in the capital for a few days.
"It's not time for her to retire, don't worry." Lin Su said.
Father Lin could only suppress his anxiety, and missed his wife's life very much. He really couldn't handle this kind of family house marriage.
A few pots of fire were withdrawn from the East Palace, and when the moon was in the zenith, a person came hurriedly and knelt in the palace: "Your Highness, what happened at the palace banquet today is as you expected, the third prince has been imprisoned. into the dungeon."
The candles in the hall were not brightly lit, but the candles next to Xiao Tang's seat were very bright. He sat sideways on the table beside the couch and flipped through a book. When he heard the report, he raised his eyes slightly: "Nothing happened?"
The third prince, Xiao Jun, was expelled, and the successor mother and son had no reason to watch. That woman was not the master of peace.
At that time, his consciousness was dazed, and he couldn't pay attention to staring at this place, but he didn't expect that there was nothing wrong here.
The attendants lowered their heads and reported: "The queen's personal eunuch Fu Hai was captured by the son of the protector of the country and entered the palace. He had a token in his hand for you, the prince. His majesty beat him to death with a stick, and even the queen was punished."
Xiao Tang had no mood swings at all, but when he heard that the fingers that were holding the pages of the book tightened suddenly: "Did he happen to meet?"
"I heard from the eunuch who led the way that they stayed by the lake outside the hall for a while, and they were caught later." The attendant reported.
Xiao Tang sat up straight, his eyes were a bit complicated, he planned this matter carefully, even if the queen wanted to suppress and frame him, there was no evidence, logically speaking, no one except his confidants would know, but he always felt that Lin Su knew it, he had a deep intuition that that person knew it.
Clearly knowing but still helping him solve the last trouble, is he showing his favor?For his sister, or for the future Antai of the Southwest?
But even if he ascended the throne as the emperor, the power in the southwestern border would also be weakened. The [-] army was in the hands of others, and sometimes it was not even mobilized by the emperor. If it was not checked and balanced, it would sooner or later be out of control.
However, with such scheming and scheming methods as the prince of the protector, how could he not understand the current situation in Southwest China.
Xiao Tang couldn't figure out what he was thinking, he only knew that if he was his helper, he would be able to get twice the result with half the effort, but if he was his opponent, it would be the most terrifying opponent he has ever encountered in this life, and if he was really an enemy, he might not can win.
"Your Highness, what's the problem?" asked the attendant who came to report.
"It's all right, send a gift to Duke Huguo's mansion, and make it clear that it's for Miss Lin, thank you for coming to visit me today." Xiao Tang pointed at the table.
Since there is already a marriage contract and the person on the same boat, some things are simply settled. No matter what happens in the southwest city, when he ascends the throne as emperor, give the woman a grace and let her find her true heart. Just like his mother, he spent his whole life guarding in this high-walled inner courtyard.
What happened at the New Year's Palace Banquet cannot be concealed. The third prince was thrown into the dungeon, fearing that he would never live again. In the palace where the Empress is confined, there are two major events that may affect the situation in the court. For festive occasions, it is common to visit relatives and friends, but this year, even the capital is a bit deserted, and the time to and from each other is simple.
The gift from the East Palace was delivered on the first day of the new year, and the eunuch who gave the gift was very respectful: "His Royal Highness is grateful for Miss Lin's visit, so I sent these small gifts to thank Miss, saying that his illness has recovered, please don't worry about Miss Lin. "
"Don't worry, don't worry." Lin Ting'er just wanted to run after saluting, "When you go back, tell His Royal Highness that I'm a girl's family, and if you have anything to do in the future, just contact my brother directly."
She spoke rough, the eunuch had never seen such a heroic girl in Beijing for many years, so he could only take a step back and replied: "Miss Lin, don't worry, I will tell you when I get back."
The eunuch bid farewell and left, leaving only two brocade boxes on the table. Lin Ting'er looked at Lin Su, who had just finished sword practice and was drinking tea, and felt a little broken in her heart.
"Brother, why don't you take a look at what you got?" Lin Ting'er pushed the brocade box over.
Father Lin just had a competition with Lin Su, and he was also sitting at the side. Hearing this, his face frowned: "The crown prince gave it to you, what do you want your brother to see?"
Lin Tinger: "..."
Dad, don't hurt me!You are my dear father!
"What my father said is that since it was given to you, you should keep it well and show me what to do." Lin Su laughed.
Lin Tinger: "..."
Ahhh!If I had known earlier, she shouldn't have been fascinated by some sister-in-law for a while, but now, she might die under his brother's jealousy one day.
"Brother, brother..." Lin Ting'er laughed so hard that she was about to cry, "Just take a look for me, what if he wants to kill me?"
Father Lin almost spit out a mouthful of water: "Then he doesn't like his life too long? Why have you become so weird recently?"
"I... I'm weird?" Lin Ting'er pointed to the tip of her nose, feeling like crying, she got up and said, "Okay, whoever wants this gift will get it, anyway, I don't want it!"
She ran away without a trace. Father Lin looked at the two boxes and sighed, then looked at Lin Su and said, "Look at her attitude now."
"Father, don't push her too fast. She has experienced in the battlefield, so she may not be very used to the atmosphere in Beijing. It will be fine after she adapts for a while." Lin Su laughed.
He got up and saw the two boxes opened, one contained pearl hairpins and the other contained jade pendants, both of which were worth thousands of gold, but no matter which one was Lin Tinger's favorite.
These two things probably weren't chosen by Xiao Tang, but by his servants, that's why they chose these things that ordinary women love, but they are not suitable for Lin Tinger.
The eunuch went back and forth, repeating to Xiao Tang what the Huguo Gongfu heard, he said every word, but Xiao Tang frowned slightly: "She really said that?"
"Yes, I dare not lie to His Highness the Crown Prince." The eunuch said respectfully.
"Then is she still satisfied with the gift I sent you?" Xiao Tang asked again.
The eunuch showed embarrassment: "Well, Miss Lin hasn't opened it yet."
Xiao Tang rubbed his fingers: "Forget it, you go down first."
The eunuch hurriedly retreated, Xiao Tang tapped his finger on the table, and the attendant at the side asked: "It's just a gift, Your Highness seems a little worried."
"I have no intention of being happy with her, but if the Protector wants to marry a daughter, he really doesn't have to choose a sick and weak body like me, and she seems to have no intention of getting along with me." Xiao Tang pondered.
That gift was not chosen by him, but it was also for him to see. The daughter of the Duke Protector likes to dance with spears and sticks, and fights in the battlefield. If you really want to please her, giving her a sword is better than a pearl, hairpin and jade pendant , but he has no intention of being interested in her. Naturally, he is just well-behaved and won't do what she likes.
"Since neither side has any intention, isn't it just meeting the prince's intention?" The attendant didn't understand his worry.
"Not entirely a good thing." Xiao Tang said.
There is no such thing as a pie in the sky. Southwest does not need to be mixed in the muddy waters of Beijing. Lin Tinger has no intentions for him, and there is no need to help him. The only breakthrough is Lin Su. What does that person want? ?
For him to exert so much effort, it must be a big deal.
He is used to trying to figure out people's hearts with the worst thoughts, only in this way, the people he entrusts will not disappoint.
Although the empress is grounded, preparations are still underway for the marriage between Duke Huguo and the crown prince. There are six ceremonies for the wedding. Even though the emperor bestows the marriage, some procedures are still unavoidable.
It can take days just to ask about the name, not only the name of the woman, but also the names of the people in the family, and even the fortune-telling in the Qin Tianjian.
Lin Su and Lin Tinger are twins. Lin Tinger was straightforward when giving her own birthday, but when she left, she became anxious: "Brother! What should I do! If this continues, I will really get married. If you don't want me to think about it again!" If there is no way, I will tell the prince that you were the one who encouraged me to propose marriage!"
"What's the rush? We have to choose auspicious dates for fortune-telling. The birthdays of parents and brothers in the family have to be fortune-telling. After a delay, it will be after the fifteenth day." Lin Su patted her on the back of the head and said, "If you have this skill, why don't you go to school?" Yuan Deng saved him from coming out."
Lin Tinger clicked her tongue: "What do you want?"
Lin Su looked at her with a smile: "After finishing the matter, you can choose the weapons from me."
Lin Tinger's eyes lit up: "No problem, wrap it on me, what do you want me to do?"
"Come here with your ears." Lin Su waved at her.
Lin Ting'er leaned over to listen, her eyes became brighter the more she listened, and when she stood up straight she gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother, this is you."
"Not yet." Lin Su said with a smile.
"Let's go." Lin Ting'er ran fast.
Her invitation was delivered to the palace, when Xiao Tang received it, he was sitting in front of the mirror, staring at the mark between his eyebrows in a daze.
He is Shuang'er, but the imprint has been extremely faint since he was a child, and the empress even covered him with makeup when he was born. What is the difference between myself and ordinary men.
But now the faint mark on his forehead has become more and more red in the past few days, which means that his health has improved, but it is also more and more difficult to cover up. If the makeup is accidentally wiped off, others can easily aware.
"His Royal Highness, the medicines tested by those people that day are very effective. I have not heard you cough for several days, and now the mark has deepened, which means that your health has indeed improved. This is a good thing." Looking at the mark between his eyebrows, he said, "If the Empress Yuan had a spirit in heaven, I would be happy for you."
"The medicine he gave is really good medicine." Xiao Tang raised his hand and spread the thick ointment on the spot, seeing that it was consistent with his skin color, he didn't take the invitation card, but took it from the table beside the table jade bottle.
There are very few people in Beijing who really care about him. Although he forced him to take the pills that day, it seemed that he was annoyed by his unbelief and delayed his illness. Although he is not a good person, the grace of saving his life is unforgettable. .
Whoever treats him well and who treats him badly will always be kept in mind.
"Then is your highness going to the appointment?" Cun Zhi asked.
"Since I want to go to the appointment, I would like Miss Lin to invite my son to go with me." Xiao Tang picked up the greeting card and said.
He needs to find out what the person's purpose is before he can take the next step.As for Xiao Jin, his feet are now grounded, he really doesn't have to do anything by himself, and he will mess up some things.
"The subordinate ordered people to do it." Cunzhi said.
"Also, what happened to Concubine Chu?" Xiao Tang lowered his eyes and asked.
"The third prince entered the Heavenly Prison. Although Concubine Chu has not demoted her rank for the time being, Mingyi Palace is no different from the Leng Palace. Now Concubine Shu is in charge of the affairs of the harem. She has been oppressed by Concubine Chu for many years, and she will not give up such suppression and revenge. opportunity." Cun Zhi said with his head down, "Yi Ying's charcoal fire has stopped, even the winter clothes and quilts have been taken away, and the eunuchs serving in the palace have left quite a few, His Royal Highness can rest assured."
Xiao Tang smiled indifferently: "It's all trivial matters. The Chu family was able to ascend to the position of imperial concubine under the favor of the successors. It is by no means an easy task. Send someone to destroy her face. Don't let people see that it was done by someone else." Yes, only if she has no hope of regaining favor can she be completely relieved."
Back then when his mother's stepmother's family was suppressed and the harem lost power, those people had no intention of sending charcoal in the snow, but everyone could come over and step on it. No one would have thought that after the dignified Yuan Dynasty, the mother of a country died of illness, Instead, he was frozen to death in the ice and snow.
Don't worry, take your time one by one, emperor brother, concubine Chu, successor, and finally... the person sitting on the throne.
If he can't drag those people to hell, even if he dies, his soul will have no face to see his mother who died tragically.
"This subordinate understands." Cun Zhi said.
There are too many concubines in the palace, and the new love is so good that the emperor forgets a concubine he hasn't seen for a few days.
"Your Majesty..." When the chief eunuch came in, the emperor was hugging the newly promoted beauty and laughing. The beauty was very face-saving, her smile trembled wildly, and her words were interrupted. The emperor was a little disappointed when he saw the eunuch.
"What's the matter?" the emperor asked with a cold face.
"Your Majesty, the noble concubine of Mingyi Palace accidentally knocked over the candlestick, scratched her face, and hanged herself." The eunuch knelt carefully.
The emperor was stunned for a moment, threw away the beauty in his arms, got up and sighed: "Why should she... Forget it, since she is dead, let's mourn in the imperial concubine's way."
After serving him for many years, he gave birth to a prince, but after his death, he only got these things.
People in the palace are cold, and the chief eunuch has long been used to it, but he still couldn't help but sigh in his heart after hearing the words.
Even if she is a noble concubine, she is only a concubine. After her death, she will not affect the battle in the palace, nor will it affect the marriage process that the prince is promoting. It can only make the third prince, who is imprisoned in the prison with his last hope, hysterical.
Of course the news was not sent by Xiao Tang, but by Xiao Jin who went there in person. Xiao Tang gave in to him every step of the way, but the concubine Chu and her son were not to be trifled with. , who is also a bastard, has fought with each other for many years, and is even more merciless when things get worse.
After he left, the third prince Xiao Jun was bumped to death in prison.
At this moment, the fifth prince, Xiao Jin, had just returned to the imperial court, and was given a book. Because he entered and left the dungeon without orders, and was suspected of murdering the prince, he was directly beaten and locked up.
"I didn't expect such a stupid person to exist in the world." Xiao Tang put on a cloak, looked at his appearance in the mirror, "How about this Gong?"
"The prince is in good health now, he is a man of unparalleled beauty." Cun Zhi praised.
Xiao Tang heaved a sigh of relief, he was obviously going to talk about something, not really going to admire the lanterns, but he still felt that he couldn't be neglected, so he actually changed three clothes.
No matter how chaotic things are in the palace, it can't stop the folks from having fun. You can see the splendor and brightness outside the palace from a distance in the palace. When the carriage leaves the palace and reaches the street, it is almost impossible to walk an inch, because there are huge crowds of people, shoulder to shoulder, Everyone is immersed in the lanterns, and sometimes they have no time to look around.
"His Royal Highness, you may have to wait for a while before you can pass." The attendant said outside.
Xiao Tang opened the car window, looking at the bustling scene outside, he was a little dazed, he hadn't seen such a bustling scene for a long time, and in his memory, the lanterns on the Lantern Festival were made by his mother with paper, she didn't do well, The paintings are not as beautiful as the lanterns on the roadside, but that is his favorite one.
"It's clear here, but it will be blocked in the front, let me come down and walk." Xiao Tang was a little interested, and when he opened the car door, he was helped down by his attendants.
He didn't wear any markings on his body to show his identity. He got off the car in a dark place, and when he got on the street, everyone saw him as a nobleman and subconsciously avoided him, but no one noticed his identity in the lights.
The wind facing him was slightly cold, but Xiao Tang rarely felt happy in his heart: "Miss Lin said where are you waiting?"
"It is said that it will be at Langmu Bridge, not far in front." The attendant said.
Walking all the way, Xiao Tang arrived at the bridge, and there were also various lotus lanterns floating on the water of the moat, which looked extremely beautiful, but Lin Tinger was nowhere to be seen.
"My lord, do you want to guess the lantern riddle? If you guess it right, you can get a lantern, so as not to be confused." The stall owner beside the bridge said.
Xiao Tang was unintentional, but the lamps on his booth are really beautiful, the patterns and patterns on them are not seen in other places, but for some reason, there are very few people gathered: "Aren't you afraid of losing money by giving the lamps like this?"
"The Shangyuan Lantern Festival is meant for everyone to have fun together. If the little old man loses money here, he can always earn it back elsewhere." The old man who sold the lantern said, "Young master, you can try it, and it only costs one penny."
Xiao Tang signaled, and the attendant next to him handed over a paper, the old man brought out a lamp and handed it to Xiao Tang: "If you guess it, this lamp will be given to you."
That lamp is extraordinarily beautiful. I don’t know how it was made. It looks like a sleeping little fox, sleeping deeply with its tail in its arms. It will loosen its tail and wake up.
Xiao Tang wanted to make a random guess at first, but when he saw the lamp, he couldn't move his eyes, he lowered his head to look at the riddle on it carefully: I know, there is someone behind me picking it up; why did you come out, to show you the way.
With such a beautiful lamp, Xiao Tang thought he would be embarrassed for a long time, but when he saw the answer to the riddle, he breathed a sigh of relief: "The answer to the riddle is the lamp, maybe I took this lamp away?"
"If you guess the answer to the riddle, the lamp will naturally belong to the young master. The person you are looking for will have the answer if you walk a hundred steps in this direction." The old man said.
"You know I'm looking for someone?" Xiao Tang was slightly surprised.
The old man smiled and said nothing, but he didn't talk anymore.
It wasn't that he didn't see him, but he made preparations in advance. He invited Lin Su and Lingmei to come with him. Lin Ting'er might not have such an ingenious idea. Could it be that person's idea?
Xiao Tang put on the lamp, looked at the road ahead and walked slowly counting, when he reached a hundred steps away, there was another stall with only one lamp hanging on it, the stall owner saw him and looked at the bag in his hand. The burning lamp smiled and said, "Master, do you want to find someone?"
"Please tell the stall owner." Xiao Tang said.
The stall owner pointed to the lantern hanging in front of the stall: "Just guess the riddle."
Xiao Tang looked closely, and there was a writing on the lamp: small ones have big needle eyes, big ones cover hillsides; they can cross thousands of mountains, but cannot cross small rivers.
Some guesses about the answer to this riddle, Xiao Tang was pondering, but when he saw the candle flame dancing in the lantern, he said: "It's fire."
"The young master answered correctly, this is for you, turn left from here, and walk a hundred steps." The man said, "But can this lamp be reserved for the next day's lighting?"
"Thank you." Xiao Tang took the silver mask and put it on, he doesn't appear often, the people may not know him, but there are family members of officials in the crowd, if it is troublesome to recognize him, that person is kind.
As for the lotus-shaped lamp, it was beautiful, but it was not as rare as the little fox in his hand, so he stayed and walked over as pointed by the stall owner.
"Your Highness, there will be no conspiracy." The attendant said beside him.
If it was in the past, Xiao Tang would definitely be wary, but seeing this lamp today, he felt a bit of urgency in his heart for some reason, if he really wanted to harm him, why would he use such ingenious thinking: "It's okay."
He went again, but it was a stall for making flowers. It is not uncommon to make flowers. What was strange was that there was a bouquet of flowers on the stall. It was rare for flowers to bloom in the midst of the cold winter months, and it attracted many people. Onlookers, but someone asked, and the stall owner only said that he would not sell it.
Xiao Tang held the lamp and counted a hundred steps, stopped there and said: "May I ask if you can get guidance here?"
The man looked at his mask, then at the lamp in his hand and said, "Just guess the riddle."
"You stall owner really favors one person over another, why can't I guess the riddle when I come here?" A man said dissatisfied.
"Husband, the lamp in his hand is so beautiful, it looks like it's alive." A woman said while holding her husband's arm.
"My lord, this lamp is for sale, I am willing to pay a lot of money to buy it." Another person stepped forward and asked.
"This lamp is my treasure, and I won't sell it." After refusing, Xiao Tang looked at the lantern riddle handed over by the boss.
The letter: The admonisher is speechless, and there is leisure in the door.
"You don't have any objections. I only recognize people who carry fox lamps. If you want to guess, you might as well find out where this fox lamp came from." The stall owner said.
Someone wanted to go up to ask, but was stopped by the attendant and said: "It was solved by guessing lantern riddles at Langmu Bridge, if you want, go there."
Xiao Tang has already guessed the lantern riddle: "Lan character."
The stall owner took out the flowers, handed them to Xiao Tang, and said, "This is a gift from that person to Young Master, Young Master, please go forward 150 steps from here."
The flowers bloomed very well, and they also exuded bursts of fragrance in the cold wind. Xiao Tang persisted in the flowers and continued to move forward. At 150 steps, he got another lantern riddle: Yuli's current twin shadows.
"Shan character." Xiao Tang said.
The stall owner smiled, but gave him a bag of candies, there are lotus seed candies, candied fruit and other things in Beijing, but Xiao Tangwen's candies smelled of milk.
He put away the sugar, and the stall owner pointed out: "Young master, you can go to Wangyue Tower from here."
The answer to the mystery is right in front of his eyes, he already knows that word, Xiao Tang still wants to do it that way for some reason.
Holding a lamp in his hand, holding on to flowers, and holding candy in his arms, is that person coaxing him like a child?
Walking along Lantern Street, it was bright all the way, but at the end of the road, the lights dimmed, away from the crowd, at the end of the lantern shadow, one person was waiting there holding on to the lantern of a fried fur fox, when he turned around, the handsome His eyebrows and eyes were never covered by black, and he was the only one, but it made people's hearts seem to be in the real place.
"The last lantern riddle, Wusuo's hexagram for the north and the south." The man's voice came from the darkness.
"A place with dim lights." Xiao Tang looked at him and asked, "Where's your sister?"
Looking back suddenly, the man was in a dimly lit place.
"She never came." Lin Su said.
"Aren't you afraid that she will be sad if you do this?" Xiao Tang said coldly.
"She took that position for me." Lin Su looked at him and said.
Xiao Tang's pupils dilated for a moment, and he was speechless. Knowing this result, he should have been angry. Who did Lin Su think he was, why should he take him like an object, but when he heard these words, he could only The hot blood that spread from the heart responded to his unconcealable joy that night.
"It seems that the medicine I gave you is delicious." Lin Su walked up to him and said.
The person in front of him seemed to have a more ruddy complexion, and his lips were no longer frighteningly white. Instead, his whole body was slightly steaming due to walking all the way, showing that he was walking in a hurry.
He approached suddenly, Xiao Tang was at a loss for a moment, he didn't want to back off to appear weak, but the distance between the two was too close, so close that he could feel a slight warmth.
"Thank you for the medicine." Xiao Tang wanted to calmly look into his eyes, but found that he couldn't do it. There was a slight heat on his face. This kind of awareness made him feel flustered, "My lord..."
"Do you like the lamp I made?" Lin Su asked softly.
Sure enough, the appearance of trying to be calm is also very cute.
Xiao Tang was a little surprised when his words were intercepted, he pursed his lips and said, "You did this?"
This man is really dexterous.
"Well, do you like it?" Lin Su asked.
Xiao Tang always felt that what he was asking was not whether he liked the lamp or not: "Your Majesty is really skillful, to be able to make such a rare lamp is a masterpiece even if he is skillful."
Lin Su gave a low laugh, and Xiao Tang's heart trembled when he laughed: "Change the subject? If you don't like it, I will take it back."
"Is there any reason to take back a gift?" Xiao Tang looked into his eyes, but subconsciously moved away when his eyes met, and said, "I like it."
"Do you like this flower?" Lin Su asked again.
This time Xiao Tang behaved himself: "I like it."
"Do you like that candy?" Lin Su asked.
"like."
"Do you like Lin Su?"
"I like it." Xiao Tang answered smoothly, but when he blurted out, his breath froze for a moment, but before he could react, Lin Su had already removed his mask, bowed his head and kissed him on the lips.
"I like you too." Lin Su said.
Slight heat spread from his back and palms, Xiao Tang didn't know whether to call him frivolous or presumptuous: "You, you..."
He was actually happy in his heart, this inexplicable joy wanted to be suppressed but he couldn't suppress it no matter what.
Being treated so frivolously, the guards did not stop him, Xiao Tang subconsciously turned around, only to find that the guards who were closely following him did not follow up.
"What are you looking at, your guard is blocked by my people, it's too late to save him." Lin Su grabbed his waist, jumped up lightly, and went straight to the top of the Moon-Watching Tower to stand.
This place was originally built for Moonwatching, with extremely high floors, but inside it is warmed by charcoal fire, and the wine on the table is slightly fragrant.
On the night of the Shangyuan Festival, the moonlight is also extremely bright, all over the roof tiles, and it is difficult to see the stars. Except for the bright lights at the Flower Street, other places feel a little lonely.
The lamp in his hand was blown out by the wind, Xiao Tang picked up the lamp and inspected it carefully, he was relieved when he found that it was not burnt out, but before he put down the lamp, he was embraced from behind, the warmth spread, Xiao Tang He held the hand on his waist, but found that he couldn't pull it away: "Lin Su, you can't..."
"Look outside." Lin Su whispered in his ear.
Xiao Tang raised his head subconsciously, but saw that the city was lit up with dots of light at some point. Those lights slowly rose and spread in the air, like the return of fallen stars, which made people feel only shocked.
There were cheers and astonishment in the distance, and it became more and more lively, and the bitter moon and lonely cold just now seemed to be completely covered by the bright lights of the city.
The higher the light, the more it looks like starlight. Xiao Tang looked at it for a long time.
