On this side, Chen Luchu and Princess Wenhe walked through the imperial garden. Chen Luchu looked at the palace in the distance with a puzzled look on his face.
In front is the imperial study, and in the front is Concubine Lan's Changchun Palace.
Princess Wenhe said, "The emperor has just come out of court and should deal with state affairs. Let's go visit Concubine Lan first."
Shen Luchu frowned tightly.
Princess Wenhe has always been proud of her royal blood, and she looks down on military generals who came from humble beginnings. She had no contact with Imperial Concubine Lan when she was young, but now she is going to visit Imperial Concubine Lan?
Shen Luchu knew what her mother meant.
The former crown prince died of illness at a young age. As the Eastern Palace is vacant, among the many princes, the most likely to enter the Eastern Palace are the third prince born to Concubine Jiang and the fifth prince born to Concubine Lan.
Years ago, after the war between the Jiang couple, the Northwest Army was taken over by Concubine Lan's eldest brother Lu Feng.
After Lu Feng took over, he retreated the enemy thousands of miles away, became famous in one battle, and then continued to command a large army to guard the northwest.
The emperor relies heavily on the Lu family, and Imperial Concubine Lan is the most powerful person in the harem, so naturally the Fifth Prince also has many fans.
But Chen Luchu had come into contact with the Fifth Prince, who was not talented, and was licentious and aggressive, so he might not be able to handle the important task.
On the contrary, the third prince, Xie Jinghuai, led the army at a young age, was brave and good at fighting, had both literary and military skills, and had the style of a great general who defended the country. Whether in the north or the southwest, he was praised wherever he went and had an excellent reputation.
The only disadvantage is probably that the Jiang family is weak, the Third Prince has always been away from the capital, and has deep roots in the capital.
The two princes have their own strengths, and the emperor's uncle is wise and intelligent. It is difficult to say who will win.
At this time, it is obviously safer to stand in line than to stand in line.
Shen Luchu stopped and said bluntly: "The emperor hates forming cliques for personal gain. Mother should not have too close contact with the Lu family."
Princess Wenhe smiled and said, "My mother is a princess, a member of the royal family. We and Concubine Lan are all family members. How can it be considered forming a clique for personal gain?"
Chen Lvchu's face sank. When will her mother understand that the Ning Wang Mansion is gone, and she, the princess, is just a princess in name only. It is the Wenyuan Marquis Mansion that allows her to gain a foothold in the capital!
She is the wife of Marquis Wenyuan, and now her every move also represents the entire Marquis Wenyuan Mansion!
"Father said that the Shen family is only loyal to His Majesty."
When Princess Wenhe heard her son mention her husband's name, she finally gave up.
"Then let's go to the imperial study. I've brought your article with me, and your uncle will definitely praise you when he sees it." Princess Wenhe turned and said.
Shen Luchu's face suddenly turned cold: "Mother, you entered my study room without permission again and rummaged through my things?"
Princess Wenhe thought so and said, "Don't worry, son. I won't harm you. I have shown your essays to several university scholars and have picked out two good ones. His Majesty will praise you after reading them."
Chen Luchu's breath was choked: "I want this as a compliment, mother, can you just come into my study and look through my things?"
"Sure." Princess Wenhe agreed readily.
Shen Luchu was delighted, and then heard Princess Wenhe say, "Then you should care about Jiang Shiyuan again. She is not worthy of entering our Shen family, and she is not worthy of being the princess' daughter-in-law. The Shangshu Mansion is a good match for us. Mother has chosen the daughter of the Su family. You should get along well with her."
Chen Luchu didn't know why Princess Wenhe brought up Jiang Shiyuan again, even though they clearly said it was something else.
All he wants is a little freedom. What does it have to do with Jiang Shiyuan?
Chen Luchu looked up at his mother and said, "Is it that whatever I want, I need conditions and I need to pay a price first? Otherwise, it is disobedience and unfilial piety?"
Facing her son's resentful eyes, Princess Wenhe did not feel that she had done anything wrong: "Be obedient, this is all for your own good, you will be grateful to me in the future."
"Mother, I want to go back and review my studies. I like the praise from my uncle, so I'll go and listen to it myself."
Chen Luchu looked worried and turned away, not even Guan Wenhe and the princess were so angry that their faces turned pale.
This was the first time that Shen Luchu had stood up so strongly against his mother.
Shen Luchu also didn't know why. He had always been filial and it had become a habit for him to obey Princess Wenhe. But today he felt inexplicably irritated and thought of Jiang Shiyuan involuntarily in his mind.
Every time he was in a good mood, Jiang Shiyuan would always be by his side, trying his best to make him happy.
She was patient and careful, always diverting his attention before he frowned.
In order to make him happy, Jiang Shiyuan even dared to make herself look ugly.
What girl in the world loves beauty?
But Jiang Shiyuan was willing to paint her face like a big cat or dog just to make him laugh.
Is he going a little too far?
When he went out that day, he specifically told Mo Yu that if Jiang Shiyuan came to see her, she must be allowed in and must pay attention to her.
At this time, Jiang Shiyuan has been stopped outside Wenyuanhou Mansion?
Chen Luchu suddenly felt weak in the heart and quickened his pace.
"Master, have you seen a tabby cat?"
Shen Luchu walked briskly, and when he passed through the Imperial Garden, he suddenly heard a clear and beautiful female voice coming from the flowerbed nearby.
He stopped suddenly.
It happened once, and he was hallucinating, but now it happened again for the second time.
The voice was far away, but he could hear it clearly. It was clearly Jiang Shiyuan's voice.
Jiang Shiyuan knew that he had entered the palace, so he followed him in?
Shen Luchu thought about it and felt that it was very possible.
Before, when he was in a good mood and hid in the suburbs to relax, even Zhou Jingshen could find him, but Jiang Shiyuan was able to brave the danger of the snowy mountain and wade through the snow to find him.
She always pays attention to herself, following her like a shadow.
Since she had come all the way to the palace, he was willing to give her a chance to apologize. If she admitted her mistake and showed a good attitude, he would consider withdrawing the punishment from her.
Thinking this way, Chen Luchu walked briskly towards the flowerbed in the distance.
After walking around the flower wall, a hibiscus tree appeared in front of him, and Shen Luchu stopped in shock.
Pei Che was standing tall under the hibiscus flowers, holding a handful of bright branches in his arms.
The hibiscus was pink and bright, which matched the purple robe and the man's aloof and noble temperament.
As if hearing his footsteps, Master Pei raised his eyes and glanced over.
Chen Luchu had always regarded Pei Che as someone he wanted to surpass, and secretly competed with him, but every time he met Pei Che, he had to admit that Pei Che had a kind of aura that he could learn no matter what. Although it was just a light sweep, it was intimidating and made people dare not act rashly, and even feel awe.
That is a gesture unique to those in a higher position.
Chen Luchu was very surprised, surprised that Pei Che was standing here alone, so solemn and stern, and even holding a bouquet of flowers.
How strange!
Chen Luchu bowed and saluted: "Master Taifu."
Pei Che nodded, as if he saw through his doubts, and said, "Come with my wife to pick some flowers."
Shen Luchu was shocked: "Master Pei is married?"
Pei Che: "Yes, we will get married at the beginning of next month."
Chen Luchu looked at Pei Che's cold eyes and eyebrows softened instantly, and there was a hint of joy in his words that was different from usual.
It turned out that the two who went to Baiweifang to clear out the shops that day were Pei Ziye and Pei Che.
Shen Luchu was even more surprised, and besides being surprised, he also felt a little contemptuous.
Pei Che had also experienced this.
Everyone praised him as if he were the bright moon in the sky, but Ru 꿷놊, like a fool, fell for women.
But he was quite curious. What kind of woman could make Pei Che so obsessed?
Pei Che was born with a good appearance, and there were many people in the capital who admired him, including daughters of princes and nobles. After so many years, Pei Che had never looked at anyone differently. Everyone once thought that he would be alone for the rest of his life, but he didn't expect that he would get married so suddenly.
Shen Luchu suppressed his doubts and said politely, "Then Shen first wishes Mr. Pei and his wife a happy marriage."
Pei Che nodded again and answered simply: "Yes."
He looked like he wanted to talk more.
Chen Luchu looked embarrassed, bowed, turned around and walked away.
He had just stepped out of the flower wall when a graceful figure appeared from the other side.
