Chapter 134 Mr. Xiao Geng's Tip
Mr. Xiao Geng put his hands behind his back, his whole body was sluggish, he seemed to wait and frown.

"It's not...Master Geng, you..." Have you lost your mind?Shen Chuxia really wanted to say something.

Master Xiao Geng seemed to know what she was thinking, and sneered: "Miss Shen can now feel what it feels like to be forcibly thrown into the mine."

It turned out to be retaliation, I said it earlier, I was really scared to death by him, Shen Chuxia patted her heart, and forced a fake smile, "Master Geng, God can't bear to see a talent like you wasted in the Taoist temple, so Letting you meet me and pull you out of vain practice into reality, this...is all fate, fate..."

"Why didn't the gods make you a man? You have a clever mouth, you can say what is dead is alive, and what is alive is dead..."

What kind of words are you talking about alive? Shen Chuxia curled her lips, "Xiao Geng, are you in a bad mood when you're hungry? It's okay. I'll treat you at noon today."

"I'm here at noon, you don't treat me, so I came here to play."

"..." Does this person still have the style of a gentleman?Still a man...

"Stop your thinking, I'm not a gentleman, but I'm definitely a man. If you don't believe me, I can marry you right now, to prove..."

"Stop it..." Shen Chuxia was convinced, didn't he just get him out of the Taoist temple, it was necessary to retaliate like this, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao Geng, I still have something to do, I will invite you next time."

Shen Chuxia turned around and left.

Behind him, Master Xiao Geng said quietly, "I thought someone wanted to ask me what kind of flowers grow in the West Department. Since no one wants to know, then forget it." The wind died down.

Hey, don't say it, just looking at this back, wearing a blue cotton robe in winter, really feels like a saint.

"That...Master Xiao Geng, I'm free again now..." Shen Chuxia ran away with a smile, following his footsteps.

Master Xiao Geng turned his head, with a smile that was not a smile: "Miss Shen, do you really believe that I can mess things up?"

Shen Chuxia raised her eyebrows high, "Who told you to stir up the water?"

"But I have nothing to do but stir up water."

Shen Chuxia rolled her eyes and said with a strange expression, "Really?"

Master Xiao Geng smiled sinisterly, "Of course."

"Hmph." Shen Chuxia didn't bother to pay attention to his childish provocation, "I invite you to dinner." It seems that it doesn't cost money, this guy doesn't want to contribute.

"Anfeng Building, I won't go to other places except this place."

"Why don't you go grab the money?"

The food in Anfenglou is expensive, and she always asks Ji Chong to treat her, and she goes bankrupt without eating.

"I heard that someone is going to marry you. This restaurant is also yours. It shouldn't be a problem to treat me to a free meal."

Now Shen Chuxia sneered: "The restaurant is His Royal Highness's property, what does it have to do with me, just the small restaurant in front, go there if you like, don't take it down."

Geng Qili looked at her back, raised his eyebrows, he was indeed a young lady who dared to pull him out of the Taoist temple, she was quite different, smiled, raised his legs and walked with her to the small restaurant.

Empress Dowager Liu passed away, and was buried with the first emperor with national ceremonies, and the husband and wife lived in the same mausoleum.After the mausoleum was sealed, Ji Chong led his ministers back to Beijing.

On the road, it is inevitable to talk about the late emperor and his wife.

"When the first emperor was the King of Wu, and the Empress Dowager Liu was the Concubine Wu, she was pregnant with a child. Later, the child died after being born, and the Empress Dowager Liu almost died of crying too. All these years, I have always regarded the baby born by the Concubine Ying as if it had already been born. Unexpectedly... ...".

"The first emperor had another child?" Some grown-ups, who had never heard of it, were very surprised.

"Yes, Mr. Zhang, don't you know?"

"This... I haven't heard of it before."

"That's right, Mr. Zhang was not in the capital before, and the late emperor was often sick when he was King Wu, and he was too late to walk in front of others. You really might not know."

"I really don't know."

"..."

Concubine Wu's child died at birth. Not many people know about it. At that time, no one thought that the throne would fall to the sick and crooked King Wu. When everyone noticed, King Wu was already a great Wei. The emperor of the dynasty has already entered the palace, and the concubine beside him has been pregnant for several months, and soon gave birth to a baby boy. This baby boy is now the little emperor—Ji Lian.

Su Juesong glanced at the chattering crowd, all the grown-ups kept silent, and got on their carriages to return to Beijing.

Ji Chong leaned against the wall of the car and closed his eyes to rest.

Su Juesong sat on the side, "Your Highness, maybe the Empress Dowager Liu's child is really dead."

Maybe……

Ji Chong slowly opened his eyes, "If you find out what is written in the last last summons, you will know whether you are dead or not."

Su Juesong secretly sighed unknowingly, without showing it on his face, "Your Highness, you have released Mr. Shen who has something to do with this matter. I'm afraid this last call is..."

"I don't like the mantis catching the cicada and the oriole behind."

At this moment, Ji Chong's eyes are cold and cold, the loneliness and world-weariness that should have disappeared long ago, the indifference and distance of self-exile, sweeping like the wind and tide, a strategist like a cloud is pouring out.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Su Juesong said, "Mrs. Ying has been staring at Mrs. Shen's concubine Hong Luan recently, and our people really stared at something."

Ji Chong looked at him.

He said, "The man she married was a handyman in Wu Wangfu, maybe your Highness is right to worry."

"Everyone thinks that the sick man is just a sick man, and they don't know him..." Ji Chong twitched the corners of his mouth and fell silent.

For a while, only listening to the horse's hooves, he went straight to the capital.

In the small restaurant, Shen Chuxia put down the bowl and chopsticks and waved.

The shop waiter ran over, and she paid the bill, "Master Geng, I won't accompany you anymore, you take your time." After speaking, she stood up.

Geng Qili put down the bowl and chopsticks with a smile, "It's too impolite for the host to leave first like this."

"Master Geng, if you ask me anything, or if I can help you, just tell me." Shen Chuxia didn't play tricks with him.

Geng Qili looked at her with a smile, this is definitely not a role of taking orders or being criticized by others, "If you don't sit down, what should I say?" His smile remained unchanged.

Stretching out his hand and flicking it, the waiter left knowingly.

In the small shop, there are only two people left.

"Speak, Master Geng." Shen Chuxia sat down again.

He still had a smile on his face, like a happy tumbler, "Little lady helped His Highness bring down Gao?"

Shen Chuxia shook her head, "Your Highness has so many subordinates, how could you ask me, a little lady, to help you, Sir Geng, you think too highly of me!"

Geng Qili did not refute, but said: "Now is not the time for me to act."

"I know."

"You... know?" Geng Qili was surprised but not surprised.

Shen Chuxia nodded, "It's not a day's cold to freeze three feet, and the Sangong, Jiuqing and Six Departments must come little by little."

Geng Qili nodded, "The matter of the regent's marriage has been submitted to the Ministry of Rites."

For some reason, Shen Chuxia heard six words in this sentence - the regent is going to marry a wife, and thinking of Mr. Xiao Geng's lightning strike half an hour ago, he seemed to be reminding her of something.

Is that so?
She remained calm and smiled lightly, "Then there will be Lord Lao Geng."

He didn't know the procedure for an ancient prince to marry a wife, but she didn't feel like marrying at all, maybe...

"you……"

"Master Geng, after dinner, let's talk about what needs to be talked about. I really should go home." She got up and left the small restaurant.

Geng Qili followed her until he couldn't see her.

Seeing that the man had left, the book boy stuck to him, "My lord, it's time for us to go home."

"It's time to go home."

Geng Qili got up, had been in the Taoist temple for more than two years, and walked on the street, his demeanor was incompatible with pedestrians, and the breeze was serene.

Asarum found that since having dinner with Master Xiao Geng, the master came back in a bad mood, even a little depressed. One day, she finally found a chance, "Little lady, if you think he is rude to you, why don't you tell him?" Your Highness, let His Highness be his official."

She also heard the conversation that day, a young adult actually said such a stupid thing, Xi Xin felt that Qingfu was disrespectful.

Shen Chuxia raised her eyes.

Asarum was startled by the little lady's look, and took a step back unconsciously, "Little... little lady, what's wrong with you?"

She stared at the little girl, feeling her temper was inexplicable, lowered her eyes, restrained her emotions.

"Little lady, has it been a long time since you saw Your Highness?"

Ever since Empress Dowager Liu passed away, His Highness has been busy arranging for the funeral, and the two of them probably haven't seen each other for a month.

Shen Chuxia got up, "Tomorrow Laba, I'll help in the kitchen." After speaking, he left the room on his own.

What's going on here?Asarum glanced at Fennel.

Yingya kept pestering her, which made Hongluan very annoyed, "If this continues, we will definitely not be able to hide the fact that we have the treasure map."

Under the oil lamp, she sat in the main seat, and her 'husband' and 'mother-in-law' stood on both sides, behaved well.

'Husband' frowned, "Someone has been following me when I go out recently, Miss Luan, have we been exposed?"

"No, it's impossible." Hongluan immediately denied, "But for the sake of caution, we should avoid going out in the future and try to stay in the yard as much as possible."

'Mother-in-law' was a little worried, "Do you want to hide the treasure map, I'm afraid the old slave won't be able to wait for the little master to grow up and use it!"

The old mother's words were not without reason, Hong Luan said, "I'll think about it, whether I should put the treasure map with a certain adult."

In the evening, the sky was gray, and there was an endless stream of carriages returning from the imperial mausoleum to Beijing. Ji Chong, as the regent, was at the forefront. As soon as he entered the city gate, the sky began to snow.

Goose feathers are like goose feathers, covering the sky, and after a while, the road is white.

Hopu rode to the side of the owner's carriage, stretched out his hand, and sent a letter, "To Your Highness."

Mu Tong asked: "Whose?"

"From the palace."

"The Zhongshu province is still..."

"It's not Zhongshu province."

Mu Tong understood what it was, and he was a little afraid to hand it in, "Okay, I know."

Magnolia disappeared into the heavy snow.

In the palace, her son was ill again, Yingya sat beside the dragon bed and kept wiping the sweat off his brow, "Has the imperial doctor come?"

The palace maids were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe. More than a dozen imperial physicians came here. What kind of imperial physician does the empress need?
No one responded, Yingya angrily picked up the cold water from the head of the bed and poured it on the maids and eunuchs, "They are all dead, why don't you hurry up."

The leading eunuch boldly said, "Go back to your mother, the crown prince is in the south, and the imperial physicians in Fuma Mansion, except for the prince, only His Royal Highness the Regent can call."

"Get out, get out of here." Ying Ya shouted angrily.

The maids and eunuchs finally rolled out happily.

Mo Lan hurriedly walked to the master's side, "Mother, don't worry, the letter has already been sent out of the palace, it is estimated that His Highness has received it, and will enter the palace soon."

Yingya looked outside the door hall, the lights in the corridor were bright and dim, and it was already dark.

Laba porridge has been boiled in the pot, just waiting for tomorrow morning.

Shen Yuanshi was very busy, "Xia'er, help mother to see if your father's family letter is coming?"

"Tomorrow." Shen Chuxia was listless.

"What's the matter?" Shen Yuanshi finally realized that something was wrong with her daughter, "Is it okay to go out during the day?"

Shen Chuxia shook her head, "It's nothing, when is dinner?" After eating early, she wanted to sleep.

Shen Yuanshi still felt that her daughter had something to do, but the elder daughter had big ideas and she couldn't control it, so she immediately arranged for her mother-in-law to have dinner.

Shen Xiu'er originally wanted to talk to her about the day's affairs, but seeing that she was in a bad mood, she gave up, "Xia'er, go eat."

"Oh." Shen Chuxia entered the restaurant with her.

Shen Mingxi came in from the outside, his skin was covered in dust, Shen Xiaoqiu hurried over to help him dust off the dust, and even brought water for him to wash his hands, he was more dedicated than an old lady.

It's a pity that Shen Chuxia is not in the mood today, and she doesn't even bother to roll her eyes.

This is not his elder sister's style, Shen Mingxi was not used to it for a while without saying a word, "Shen Chuxia, you have been dumped by a man!"

"..."

In the restaurant, everyone looked at Shen Chuxia.

Shen Chuxia was taken aback, "What did you say?"

"The regent hasn't seen you for a month, does he not want you anymore?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Shen Chuxia never told anyone about Ji Chong's desire to marry her, and she didn't take the man's love words seriously.

Shen Mingxi looked as if he was angry when I said that he was in the middle of his head, and he was very happy, "Let me tell you, the taller the man, the more handsome he is, the less reliable he is. I think Zhang Hanlin from the library is suitable." You, let you be the master of the house and bully you."

"Shen Mingxi, have you become a genius, how old do you even understand this?" Shen Chuxia was almost speechless.

Shen Mingxi looked terrified, "I don't understand anything." He fights with his friends in the alley every day, overhears women's chats every day, and is very good at such things.

Shen Chuxia rolled her eyes.

Shen Xiu'er felt that what the little cousin said was right, but she dared not say it, and smiled secretly.

Shen Mingxi saw Shen Xiuer sniggering, and he chuckled, "You are weak, so you need to find a man who is in charge of your affairs, otherwise, you will be the life of a bitter wife for the rest of your life."

Unexpectedly, a fire burned her body, Shen Xiu'er couldn't laugh or cry, "Hurry up and eat, it's snowing outside, and I won't be able to go back to the room later."

Shen Mingxi took the lead, and was the first to eat with chopsticks like an uncle.

"Shen..."

Before Shen Chuxia had time to teach this boy a lesson, Xi Xin happily ran in from the outside with snow on her head, "Little lady, His Highness is waiting for you at the entrance of the alley."

"..."

Seeing that her complexion was not very good, Xi Xin quickly explained: "Your Highness has just returned from the imperial mausoleum."
