A Precious Pearl in the Imperial City

Seeing Jiuzhu's appearance, Wang Chen turned his head and stared at the attendant eunuch. He said earlier that you should help him back quickly. How would he explain to Ming Xiaozhu now?

"This lady of the palace fell down?" Jiuzhu noticed that there were two eunuchs standing next to the lady of court, and smiled and praised the king of Chen in a low voice: "His Royal Highness is so kind. Seeing the lady of court fall, she specially arranged for someone to help her up."

"Of course this king is not the kind of person who can't save him." Chen Wang's back was straightened, his chin was slightly raised, and the gentleman's demeanor was full. He saw Jiuzhu dressed in a clean suit: "Why do you come to condolences?"

"Mother said, our family could not come, but I booked a kiss with His Royal Highness, which is different from others." Jiuzhu glanced at the palace maid who was still lying on the ground: "Mother has poetry books in her belly, I must have heard her right. ."

Hearing the words "being married", Wang Chen uncomfortably didn't start with: "Then, then I will take you there. Everything about Yang Bi's funeral is simple. You can go to the incense stick with me."

"Wait." Jiuzhu grabbed Chen Wang's sleeve.

Wang Chen looked back at her, thinking she didn't want to go with him: "You want to go with Lingci?"

"No." Jiuzhu pointed to his waist: "His Royal Highness, take off this jade pendant first."

The jade pendant is nothing special, but the knots and tassels are bright red.

Wang Chen wanted to say that for a concubine who hadn't even seen face to face, he could change into plain clothes and get incense, which already gave the deceased a lot of face. There is no need to pay attention to the red tape on a piece of jade pendant.

He started to meet Jiuzhu's slick eyes, he sighed, unwrapped the jade pendant in twos or twos, and put it in Jiuzhu's hand: "You can hold it for me."

"Okay." Jiuzhu smiled and nodded, putting the jade pendant in the plain white purse.

When Wang Chen walked forward, he almost tripped over something. He looked down and saw that the palace lady was still lying on the ground just now.

What's the matter, if you want to slander him and push women, you don't have to be so obvious?

"Girl, are you okay?" Jiuzhu bent down and pulled the maid from the ground with one hand.

Lady of the palace: "..."

Why did she stand up involuntarily?

"Are you hurt?" Jiuzhu bent over to help her pat the dust on the skirt.

The maid shook her head blankly.

"Ming Xiaozhu, let's go." Wang Chen stood a few steps away, with his fingers behind his back, moving towards Jiuzhu.

"Come on." Jiuzhu Chaochen Wang responded, lowered his head and said to the court lady: "Walk, pay attention to your feet."

After that, he ran to the side of King Chen and walked side by side with him.

The palace lady stared at the backs of the two men in a daze. It turned out that it was not some domineering prince and pretty lady, but the domineering prince and lady.

She looked down at the skirt that had been photographed by Jiuzhu, her cheeks flushed slightly, without the help of the eunuch, she covered her face and ran away.

Yang Bi's mourning hall is located in the hall on the west side of the palace. The fateful wives who came to worship have already left, and only a few royal relatives are left standing outside the hall carelessly, apparently just for a casual walk.

Jiuzhu didn't understand the funeral rituals in the palace, so she didn't know that, according to the usual practice, after the death of the concubine, the funeral standard would be higher than her own, or directly entitlement.

However, Yang Yan's funeral did not have any grace, not even a posthumous posthumous name.

The Ministry of Rites drafted a posthumous title, but was beaten back by the emperor, on the grounds that Yang Xi was happy to keep everything simple in the funeral.

In this way, who still doesn't understand, Your Majesty doesn't value Yang Bi.

It was cold in front of the mourning hall, Wang Chen bowed his head and asked Jiuzhu: "Is it cold?"

Jiuzhu shook her head, she took the incense, bowed respectfully in front of the mourning hall, and inserted the incense into the incense burner.

The maid, who knelt on the ground and weeped quietly, kowtowed her and Wang Chen.

Looking at the spiritual sign enshrined at the top, King Chen inserted the incense. In his impression, Yang Bi was not very talkative, and her body was very weak. She did not show up for many gatherings in the palace.

The wind blew the spirit flag, he turned around, twisted a small corner of the sleeve of the Jiuzhu, and led the person out of the mourning hall.

"Let's go, I'll take you to Mingyue Palace to change your clothes." The little girl can't dress miserably in vain and look ugly.

"Your Highness." Jiuzhu hesitated: "Mother is still waiting for me outside..."

"Don't worry, Fugui has already sent a message to Mrs. Ming." Wang Chen continued to pull Jiuzhu forward: "After lunch at Mingyue Palace, I will send you back."

"His Royal Highness doesn't need to go to the Ministry of Rites?" Jiuzhu hesitated: "Will this delay your business?"

"Today, there is an offering for Yang Bi. All the princes and princesses in Beijing will go to the palace to mourn. I have already reported a leave to the Ministry of Rites, and I don't have to go to the Ministry of Rites today." Chen Wang raised his head and looked at the sky: "Ming Xiaozhu, it is not suitable to talk about official affairs today."

"Fifth brother."

"I have seen His Royal Highness Chen Wang, good girl Ming."

Wang Chen released his hand twisting the corner of Jiuzhu's clothes, raised his eyebrows and looked at King Qi and Sun Caiyao: "It's the fourth brother."

Since the last time he forced King Qi to avoid the trip, the two had not spoken in private except for meeting in the court.

Jiuzhu bowed her knees to salute King Qi, and King Qi nodded slightly to her. He glanced at the attire on the two of them: "Fifth brother has finished incense on Yang Bi?"

He didn't see any gorgeous colors on Yun Duqing, which was completely different from what he usually wears.

"Fourth brother came a little late today." He noticed that Yun Yanze glanced at Jiuzhu, and the king drew Jiuzhu behind him without anyone else: "Go away, and I will bring Miss Ming back to Mingyue Palace."

Back?

Sun Caiyao noticed the word, she looked up at Wang Chen, and took Ming Jiuzhu to see Concubine Su, using the word "Hui"?

She has also heard the stories of domineering princes that have been popular in Beijing in recent days. Perhaps it was because the king Chen was too arrogant and domineering. Everyone saw him on weekdays, and their eyes were filled with awe and fear, and there was no time to pay attention to his appearance.

Until today, Sun Caiyao discovered that Wang Chen had a very handsome face. He almost perfectly inherited all the advantages of the emperor and Concubine Su's five senses. Even though he was wearing plain clothes, he was still very flamboyant and dazzling.

"Fifth brother, please feel free." King Qi retracted his gaze, and smiled gently at Sun Caiyao, "Miss Sun, let's go in."

As soon as the voice fell, there was applause not far away. King Qi's expression was serious and he bowed his head and retreated to the side.

Jiuzhu secretly glanced in the direction where the applause came from, and quickly lowered his head.

It is the emperor.

Emperor Longfeng saw his two sons coming down from Long Nian.

Without waiting for the two sons to salute, Emperor Longfeng directly raised his hand to avoid their salute: "Isn't it cold when they are standing on the air vents and doing nothing?"

The **** behind him held two large cloaks with wintry, ready to wait for the two princes to put on them.

King Chen took the cloak and put it directly on Jiuzhu, turning his head and saying to Emperor Longfeng: "Father, why don't you bring two cloaks that girls can wear when you go out? Look, they are all dragged to the ground."

King Qi looked down at the Greatcloak that had just been draped over him, then looked at Sun Caiyao beside him, and Polycloak's hands stiffened slightly.

Emperor Longfeng was amused by his words: "This is the new cloak sent by Shengzhong from the palace. I haven't gotten myself up yet, but you don't like it."

Jiuzhu was wrapped in the furry cloak, showing only half of a small face. She pulled the cloak twice with her hands, like a small turtle held down by a shell.

Wang Chen couldn't help laughing when he saw her like this.

"His Royal Highness." Jiuzhu heard Wang Chen smile at herself, widened her eyes, and looked at him pitifully.

"I didn't laugh at you, I laughed at others." Chen Wang gave a dry cough, and helped Jiuzhu straighten out the big cloak, finally showing her whole face.

Jiuzhu whispered: "His Royal Highness is not clever at all about this lie."

Even a fool can hear him laughing at her.

Emperor Longfeng pretended not to see the two juniors whispering, and he turned his head to look at King Qi: "Yanze, your marriage is about to be done. It is not suitable to see filial piety. Go back after worshipping outside the temple."

"Yes, Father Father." King Qi bowed his hands in a salute.

His wedding to Sun Caiyao was just seven days later, and Yang Bie died at this critical juncture, as if it had added an unlucky shadow to the wedding.

But the wedding date was set by the Qin Tianjian a long time ago, and it will be unlucky to change it. Whether it is him or the Sun family, they can only pretend that they don't care about Yang Bi. Fortunately, Yang Bi was not of high grade, and the funeral was not organized.

The mother and concubine said that the father did not want to hold Yang Bi's funeral because he considered that his marriage to Sun Caiyao was imminent.

He doesn't know the truth or not of what the mother and concubine said, but since the father and the emperor are now mentioning the wedding, at least it shows that he cares about the marriage.

"Du Qing, where are you going with the Ming family girl?" Emperor Longfeng interrupted when the two children were still talking quietly.

"Father, my son is going to take Ming Xiao... Sister to Mingyue Palace to change clothes." Wang Chen put his hands behind him, with an expression of "I'm just taking care of the little girl".

"It just so happens that I also want to go to your mother and concubine, and you two will accompany me." Emperor Longfeng glanced at the holy flag hanging outside the mourning hall, quickly retracted his gaze, and never looked at the mourning hall again.

"You are sitting on foot, and Erchen is walking with Miss Ming, and you can't keep up with you." Chen Wang looked down at the big and long cloak on Jiuzhu, and said brazenly: "Or you can reward your favor and let your son follow Ming. The young lady also sat down and walked over."

"You have been lazy since you were young." Emperor Longfeng smiled helplessly: "Let's go, let the two of you sit around."

"Thanks Father Emperor."

Seeing the Chen Wang thanking him, Jiuzhu hurriedly bowed his knees and thanked him: "The courtier thanked your majesty."

Wang Chen stretched out his hand and grabbed her arm, afraid that she would fall to the ground upside down.

Soon there was a Dali **** who brought him up and down, and Wang Chen helped Jiuzhu to sit down on one of the steps, then turned around and went to the other one.

Emperor Longfeng smiled and watched this scene. This arrogant child also knew that he cared about the little girl.

"Respectfully send to the emperor." Wang Qi arched his hand, after watching the emperor's honor guard leave, he took off the cloak and handed it to the attendant eunuch.

"His Royal Highness..."

"This king is not cold." He turned his head and looked at Sun Caiyao gently: "Miss Sun, this king will send you back to the house after you are up."

Looking at King Qi's gentle eyes, Sun Caiyao smiled shyly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Stepping stopped at the Mingyue Palace, Wang Chen walked out of the step dashingly, and handed his arm to Jiuzhu: "Help me go."

The palace lady standing next to her silently took a step back, and your Highness should treat her as if she didn't exist.

Jiuzhu held Wang Chen's arm, stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear: "Your Highness, I have a little bit of heat."

Wang Chen glanced at Emperor Longfeng, who was walking in front of him: "Be patient, and I will help you take it off when you enter the room."

Jiuzhu nodded hurriedly, unconsciously speeding up the steps under her feet.

Concubine Su Gui was sleeping in the house. When the three of them came in, she got up with a smile, and Emperor Longfeng quickly stepped forward and held her hand without letting her salute.

"Why did your Majesty bring Du Qing and Jiuzhu here?"

"I met them on the road, so I brought them together." Emperor Longfeng took Concubine Su and sat down on the chaise couch.

Concubine Su Gui glanced at the clothes on the two of them, and she knew where they had gone.

"Erchen brought Miss Ming to the mother and concubine." Chen Wang helped Jiuzhu take off the heavy cloak, and handed it to the court maid who was waiting next to him: "By the way, I beg the mother and concubine to find clothes suitable for the little girl and give her a change. on."

Concubine Su Gui smiled and said: "What did I do for? It turned out to be eating and drinking. If it weren't for Jiuzhu today, I won't keep you. Look at Jiuzhu's face and let you have a meal."

Jiuzhu knew that the imperial concubine was talking and laughing, she covered her mouth and secretly laughed, but because she hadn't changed her plain clothes, she dared not approach the imperial concubine.

"Xiangsi, take Jiuzhu to wash and change clothes." Concubine Su got up and walked to Jiuzhu's side and shook her hand: "I don't pay attention to those things here. How did you come here in the past? How are you today."

After speaking, she looked at Wang Chen: "You change your clothes and go."

"Thank you Niang Niang, the courtier first retire." Jiuzhu smelled the faint scent of the concubine, and smiled sweetly at her.

Concubine Su Gui couldn't help squeezing her face, how could there be such a likable little girl.

Xiangjian walked into the room with Jiuzhu and took out a new set of clothes: "Miss Ming, this dress is made for you by the lady instructing the temple to make it for you. Would you like to try to fit it?"

"Thank you, auntie." Jiuzhu put on new clothes, the maid brought water to wash her, Xiangjian took off the silver hairpin in her hair and re-fixed her hair: "The girl looks really good."

"It's the beautiful clothes prepared by the empress for the courtiers." Jiuzhu smiled at herself in the mirror.

"A beautiful dress with a beautiful lady, just right." Xiangjian put down her comb, "Look at the girl, what's wrong."

"Auntie's hands are very clever." Jiuzhu tilted her head and shook her hair gently.

"Auntie, how is the aunt who fainted a few days ago?" Jiuzhu remembered the court lady who had met with Aunt Xiangjuan a few days ago.

Xiangjian was stunned, she helped Jiuzhu support the hairpin, and said with a smile: "Girl, don't worry, she has no worries about her life."

"It's okay." Jiuzhu relaxed and saw that the court lady was full of blood, she almost thought that she could not be saved.

"The girl was kind-hearted and asked to go to the hospital to get her medicine. The day after she ran out of the medicine, she woke up." Xiangsi and Paeoniae Rubra were the masters of their own. The relationship between the two is really not good, but She couldn't think that Bai Shao would be hurt so badly as the great maid of Lanxu Palace.

In the harem, the palace staff did not dare to speak after being injured. There was only one possibility. It was their master who shot the wound.

She didn't tell the innocent girl about the secrets in the palace, so as not to frighten her.

Wang Chen changed his clothes and walked out the door just to meet Jiuzhu coming from the opposite side. Looking at the aqua-blue tunic on the other party, he nodded in satisfaction. That's right, the little girl looks good in these colors.

"His Royal Highness." When Jiuzhu saw Wang Chen, his face instantly showed a big smile.

Wang Chen endured and endured, and finally did not hold it back, walked to Jiuzhu, and squeezed the cute-looking hair package on top of her head.

"His Royal Highness, this is a new bun specially combed for me by my aunt." Jiuzhu was very satisfied with the new bun. Seeing her highness stretched out her hand, she felt a little distressed but did not avoid it.

"Xiangsi's craftsmanship is better." Seeing Jiuzhu's distressed expression, Chen Wang put his hand back.

"His Royal Highness is absurd." Xiang Jian smiled: "The girl looks good, and she looks good with all kinds of buns."

Hearing this, Wang Chen took a step back, looked at Jiu Zhu carefully, and nodded thoughtfully. This small appearance is indeed very beautiful.

Jiuzhu looked at him incomprehensibly, why did His Royal Highness look at her with such weird eyes?

"Well, it's really good."

As soon as the voice fell, he noticed that there was a little court lady in the corner peeking at him, and when he saw him, all of them retracted their heads.

What is going on with these palace ladies today, one and two are so wrong.

"Fragrant silk." Wang Chen asked: "What weird rumors about this king have been in the palace recently?"

Hearing His Royal Highness's question, Xiang Jian couldn't help laughing: "There are indeed a few strange rumors, but they didn't come from the palace, they came in from outside the palace."

Wang Chen frowned: "Outside the palace?"

Xiangjuan suppressed a smile and nodded: "If your Royal Highness is curious, go to the teahouse outside and you will know."

"Do you know?" Chen Wang looked at Jiuzhu.

Jiuzhu looked down at the toe of the shoe, as if...maybe...maybe...probably has something to do with her?

"Ming Xiaozhu?" Chen Wang squinted at her.

"His Royal Highness, the courtier doesn't know anything." Jiuzhu shook his head suddenly: "I haven't heard of anything."

"Really don't know?" Wang Chen looked at Jiu Zhu, who was full of guilty conscience, and almost laughed. She almost didn't write the four characters "I'm lying" on her face.

Jiuzhu shook his head vigorously.

Hey, she actually lied to the gentle and kind-hearted Highness.

She is guilty!
