Jiuzhu covered his forehead and looked up at the lamp.
"like?"
"Yeah." Jiuzhu nodded.
The eunuch of Chen Dynasty waved his hand: "Bring down a lamp."
"Which one do you like?" He turned and asked Jiuzhu.
"They are all very beautiful." Jiuzhu looked up and pointed at one of them: "This one?"
The color of this lamp is somewhat similar to the color of His Highness's clothes.
"Then take this one." Prince Chen raised his hand to take the shark gauze lamp that the eunuch took down and handed it to Jiuzhu.
Little girls are little girls, they like these fancy things.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Jiuzhu held the lamp carefully, not wanting to dirty it, as if it were a child's most precious treasure.
"County Lady Ming."
Jiuzhu looked up in surprise, and when she saw Sun Caiyao with her hair in a bun, she was stunned for a moment, then she reacted: "Greetings, Princess of the County."
Sun Caiyao looked at the lamp in Jiuzhu's hand and smiled: "I haven't seen the county lady for a long time. If the county lady is free, please come and sit with me."
"Fourth sister-in-law." Prince Chen said, "Fourth brother is injured and needs to rest. Our Jiuzhu is young and ignorant. It would be bad if she disturbed Fourth brother."
Upon hearing this, Sun Caiyao forced a smile and wanted to say something more to Ming Jiuzhu, but Prince Chen had already taken Ming Jiuzhu away.
She looked at the backs of Prince Chen and Ming Jiuzhu, then turned her head to look at the shark gauze lanterns swaying on the branches. Her heart seemed like the swaying shark gauze, empty and with nowhere to land.
"Princess Princess." A little maid hurriedly walked up to her and said, "I am a maid in Lanxu Palace. Please ask Princess Princess and His Highness to find a way to help the queen."
"What happened, mother?" Sun Caiyao gathered her hair and asked, "What happened?"
"Our queen was summoned to Mingyue Palace by the Imperial Concubine, but the Imperial Concubine not only avoided her, but also made her kneel in the quiet room to pick up Buddha beans." The little maid cried anxiously: "Please ask the Princess and His Highness to think of a solution."
Every time the Empress got bullied by the Imperial Concubine, the servants who served her were the ones who suffered in the end. She really had no other choice.
"Don't worry, I'll think of a solution." Sun Caiyao couldn't bear to worry her sick husband, so she walked around twice, looked up and saw the shark-shaped lanterns on the treetops, gritted her teeth, and walked towards the courtyard where Prince Chen lived.
In Taiyang Palace, Emperor Longfeng saw Concubine Su walk in angrily and put down the book in his hand: "What's wrong? Who made you angry?"
He looked at Liu Zhongbao and General Wang behind Concubine Su and frowned slightly.
Liu Zhongbao and General Wang hurriedly left the hall. Their intuition told them that the remaining content was not something they could listen to.
"It has nothing to do with others." Concubine Su flicked her palace sleeves and sat down on the chair: "Your Majesty, someone wants to kill Du Qing and me, how do you think I can endure it?"
"The accident at the Royal Horse Farm, the embroidery at my birthday banquet, which one wasn't plotted by others?" Concubine Su said angrily, "I thought the prince had grown up and had bigger ambitions, but I didn't expect that eight years ago, my mother and I had already been through the gates of hell."
"It's my fault. I failed to protect you." Emperor Longfeng walked up to Concubine Su and gently held her hand: "Don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for you."
Concubine Su lowered her eyelids and didn't want to pay attention to him.
"Mei Dai, I was wrong." Emperor Longfeng gently stroked her temples: "If you are angry, just scold me. How can you be angry with yourself?"
"It is a great sin to offend His Majesty. How dare I scold His Majesty?" Concubine Su snorted, "If the civil officials knew about this, they would call me a witch again."
"In the eyes of others, I am the emperor. In front of you, I am just an ordinary man who is easily influenced by others." Emperor Longfeng lifted the corner of his robe and sat down in front of Concubine Su. In this way, he was much lower than Concubine Su who was sitting on the stool.
"Why are you playing dirty again?" Concubine Su saw him like this and said, "Do you think you can still seduce me with your face more than 20 years ago?"
"I know I'm old and ugly, and I'm tired of it." Emperor Longfeng sighed pitifully, "But for Du Qing's sake, please just stay with me."
"You really should let the foreign officials see how you act like a spoiled child and pretend to be pitiful." Concubine Su calmed down a little. She lifted her skirt and was about to sit down in front of Emperor Longfeng.
"Wait." Emperor Longfeng stood up and spread his cloak on the ground: "Sit down now."
Concubine Su glanced at the cloak embroidered with dark dragon patterns and sat on it cross-legged. The two of them stared at each other, and finally Concubine Su smiled: "That day, Du Qing and I did plan to go to the restaurant to taste the local braised fish. On the way, something unexpected happened."
Speaking to Emperor Longfeng about the little girl she rescued from the water, Concubine Su sighed: "I always thought we saved her, but I didn't expect it was she who saved us."
After going around in circles, she thought it was the result, but never imagined that it was the cause.
After hearing what happened, Emperor Longfeng didn't dare to imagine what would have happened in the end if Du Qing hadn't happened to rescue a little girl and delayed the mother and son for too long, causing them to cancel their plan to eat braised fish.
Those people hated Mei Dai and Du Qing, but in fact they just hated him for not giving them his love.
Everything stems from greed and jealousy, and he is the source of jealousy and greed.
"It's all my fault." Emperor Longfeng's index finger trembled slightly, "I loved you but didn't give you enough protection."
"Your Majesty, you are not wrong." Concubine Su shook her head and denied Emperor Longfeng's statement: "It is the human heart that is wrong."
"Who is that little girl?" Emperor Longfeng did not refute the imperial concubine's words: "I want to reward her."
Concubine Su shook her head: "I don't know. I didn't ask her to tell me her name. I just remember that the little girl had a pair of bright and beautiful eyes. Before she left, she said that she would keep this kindness in mind."
At this point, her eyes were somewhat gentle: "She is a very well-raised little girl."
Emperor Longfeng stood up and took the letter presented by General Wang from the table and put it in Concubine Su's hand: "This is the confession of the Zheng family's servants."
Concubine Su took it and looked at it carefully. She almost tore the letter in her hand after seeing the back: "The Zheng family wants to die?!"
She wants to kill them!
Otherwise, this concubine would be in vain!
"The child pushed into the river by the scarred man..." Concubine Su stroked the record about the little girl on the memorial: "How great would it be if the little girl Du Qing and I rescued was her?"
If the assassin hadn't wanted to kill her and Du Qing, the little girl wouldn't have died.
But the river was turbulent, and no one could guarantee that the little girl whose hands and feet were tied by the assassin would be lucky enough to survive.
"God is merciful, maybe it is her." Emperor Longfeng knew why the imperial concubine was sad: "I will ask Consul Wang to continue investigating, and he will definitely find the whereabouts of the little girl you saved that year."
Concubine Su regretted very much why she asked the little girl to keep the secret.
Lingzhou is so big, eight years is enough time for a little girl's appearance to change. She may have married, or she may no longer be in Lingzhou.
The world is so big, where can I find it?
"Believe me." Emperor Longfeng embraced Concubine Su in his arms: "When we find her, we can buy her a big house, give her a lot of money, and even choose a good husband for her."
But I hope you can have peace of mind.
Commander Wang waited outside the palace gate for half an hour, and finally waited until His Majesty summoned him again. He bowed and hurriedly entered the palace. He accidentally looked up and saw that His Majesty was serving tea to Concubine Su. This is not something he can watch.
"General Wang." Emperor Longfeng placed the tea in front of Concubine Su and said, "Please arrange for someone to go to Lingzhou to check for a young girl who is about sixteen or seventeen years old."
Consul Wang glanced at Imperial Concubine Su cautiously. The Emperor asked him to investigate the girl in front of the Imperial Concubine?
"Your Majesty, what is the girl's name and what does she look like?"
"If I know her name and appearance, do I still need you to check?" Concubine Su raised her eyebrows and said, "I want you to find out about the little girl who was pushed into the river by the servants of the Zheng family. I suspect that she is the girl I rescued that year."
Leader Wang was stunned.
Could it be that the reason why Concubine Su turned back halfway that day was because she saved someone?
If the little girl rescued by the Imperial Concubine was the little girl pushed into the river by the Zheng family's servants, then the assassination of Imperial Concubine Su and her son would be too absurd and ridiculous.
The law of nature is clear and cause and effect are cyclical.
He cupped his hands and said, "I will obey your orders."
Sometimes, he also hopes there will be coincidences in the world. I only hope that the little girl who was pushed into the river by the scarred man was rescued by the imperial concubine, grew up healthy and lived a happy and comfortable life.
"The courtyard where His Highness lives is so big." Jiuzhu held a lamp and lay at the door to look at the inner courtyard. She was worried that His Highness would be wronged by living in a palace with other princes, but she didn't expect that the courtyard was much larger than she imagined.
"What are you doing lying at the door?" Prince Chen turned around and looked at her: "Come in."
Jiuzhu leaned against the door frame: "Will it be inconvenient?"
"You've come all the way here, and you're just considering this?" Prince Chen was amused by her. "Don't worry, there are a bunch of palace maids and eunuchs here, how can it be inconvenient?"
Jiuzhu walked into the yard, carefully handed the shark silk lantern to a little palace maid, and followed Prince Chen closely.
"Sit here for a while." He took Jiuzhu to the pavilion and sat down. The King of Chen looked at her and said, "Come on, now you can tell me why you bit my hand just now."
Jiuzhu held the teacup and lowered her head: "Your Highness, I really didn't mean it. I'm sorry."
"Of course I know you didn't mean it." Prince Chen crossed his arms over his chest: "But I also know that you are worried about something."
"Yes, a little bit." Jiuzhu opened the tea lid and took a sip of tea.
"etc!"
"It's hot, it's hot!" Jiuzhu almost cried because of the pain.
"Drink some cold water, hold it in your mouth and don't swallow it." The Prince fed the cold tea to Jiuzhu's mouth and saw that her cheeks were puffed up by the cold water in her mouth: "This kind of tea needs to be brewed with boiling water and then mixed with cool water to taste it."
Jiuzhu blinked. How could she have known that there were so many tricks to drinking a few sips of tea?
"Does it still hurt?" Prince Chen sighed and asked the maid to bring some ice cubes. "When we have dinner tonight, you will know what regret means."
Jiuzhu took the empty cup, covered her face with her sleeve, and spit out the water: "The teacup doesn't feel hot at all, why is the water so hot?"
"I wonder if some teacups can insulate heat?" Prince Chen took the jade cup filled with ice cubes from the palace maid, picked up a piece and passed it to Jiuzhu's mouth: "Hold it in your mouth."
"Cold." Jiuzhu shivered while holding an ice cube in his mouth.
"That's right, it's cold. I'll teach you a lesson next time." Prince Chen put down the jade cup and said, "Let's continue the previous topic. Why are you not okay?"
"I'm a little worried when I heard someone was trying to assassinate the Queen and His Highness." Jiuzhu glanced at the maids and eunuchs behind the Prince Chen, and the tip of her tongue unconsciously touched the ice cube that was freezing cold: "If Your Highness is angry, then I'll let you bite my finger back."
Prince Chen saw the hand stretched out in front of him. The small hand was white and tender, with the fingertips trimmed neatly.
I really want to bite it a little bit.
It's a little bit, not billions of bits.
"Your Highness." A maid walked up to him and said, "The Princess of Qi County wants to see you."
"No." Prince Chen looked at Jiuzhu who was still biting ice cubes: "She is my sister-in-law. It is not appropriate for her to meet this brother-in-law alone."
You haven't even brought your wife home yet, why are you getting involved in all this trouble?
