Chunguang Brocade

Chapter 93 The First Love Letter (6000 words plus a small theater)

While eating, Shen Chuxia thought, it is said that the regent Ji Chong never used maids by his side, but now there are actually two juicy maids in front of him. Could it be that besides the Taoist nun in Paulownia Courtyard, he also has other women in his private house?

The private life of the rich and powerful really cannot be studied. In front of the public, they are dignified, but behind the scenes, they don't know how much dirt they have hidden, because they have power to block the prying eyes of the outside world.

"Miss Shen, the food doesn't suit your taste?"

"It's okay...it's okay..." Shen Chuxia wanted to go home now, no matter how delicious something was, it was tasteless.

Obviously perfunctory, the two little girls looked at each other and knelt down on the ground together, "Miss Shen, if there is something wrong with your servant, please let me know. If we don't serve you well, we will be betrayed."

so serious?

Shen Chuxia put down her chopsticks, and quickly asked them to stand up, "It's not that you didn't take good care of me, it's the wound on my body..."

"..." The two girls were dubious, but the young lady refused to say so, so they had no choice but to give up.

After the meal, Shen Chuxia wanted to go outside for a walk to digest food, but was immediately rejected by the two little girls, "I can't... I can't..."

"..." Really imprisoned?
Shen Chuxia looked at the closed door of the room, sighed secretly, sat on the edge of the bed, lowered her head, her whole body was wrapped up like a sack, and she didn't want to let her go out, "Bring me some books."

The little girl was taken aback for a moment, and immediately blessed herself, "Yes, little lady."

When they entered the room again, they not only brought a lot of books, but also brought a pair of parrots from Paulownia Bieyuan.

Shen Chuxia saw this driving force and understood that she was really imprisoned, and it was worse than last time. Last time, she was able to walk freely in the yard, but this time she couldn't even go out of the room.

What interests did she touch that shouldn't be touched?Oh, yes, a treasure map!
Ji Chong wouldn't think that the treasure map was with her!

In a torture room of Dali Temple, Zhishi tortured two masked men, and finally pried out a few words, "Your Highness, they are the subordinates of the King of Chu. They came to look for the missing treasure map. It is said that Zhou Jinnian took The treasure map was given to Miss Shen, and that's why they arrested him."

"Did they get the treasure map?"

Zhishi shook her head: "Miss Shen said that the treasure map is lost."

lost?

Ji Chong turned around with his hands behind his back and walked away, "Find out who their heads are, and if you don't tell them, you don't have to stay."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Walking through the long, dark corridor of the sky prison, the prisoners behind the fence saw Ji Chong, and they all rushed to the gate. They wanted to open their mouths to cry for grievances, but they were frightened by the guards beside him with knives and whips.

Shen Jinlin was always in the mood of his daughter being murdered, and he was so lost that he didn't even notice that the regent Ji Chong passed by his cell.

Ji Chong felt something was wrong and stopped, "What's going on?"

Zhishi faced the jailer with a serious face, "Your Highness asked, why didn't you answer?"

The little jailer trembled, so he dared say that Uncle Da Guo had come, "Just... just... small... I don't know what's going on?"

Zhishi picked up the whip and beat her, "Don't tell me, you don't want to mess around anymore, do you?"

"I said, I said, Your Highness, please forgive me..." The little jailer hurriedly shouted, "Yes... Uncle Da Guo came here."

What is Gao Chen doing here?Ji Chong looked at Shen Jinlin.

He looked at him with eyes full of hatred.

Ji Chong was taken aback for a moment, then restrained his emotions almost instantly, and turned his head, "What did he say?"

The little jailer was beaten to the point of bleeding, so he dared not say, "The little one was standing far away, so I didn't hear it, but I heard someone say 'probably he said something that could save him'"

He came to Dali Temple to save people?Ji Chong snorted.

"Give him another cell."

"Yes, Your Highness."

He walked away with his hands behind his back.

Shen Jinlin understood that this was to straighten him out, and suddenly ran towards the fence, furious at his back, "What did you do to my daughter? What did you do to her, if you dare, kill me , don't embarrass a little lady..."

He did not plant?Ji Chong paused.

Shen Jinlin noticed his subtle movements, and the daughter was indeed in his hands, "Please let her go..." His legs fell to his knees.

Since he was arrested, this self-proclaimed high-ranking member of the fifth rank, Wailang, has never knelt down before Ji Chong.

He turned his head.

"Your Highness, my wife and children are innocent, please, please let them go..." The middle-aged man was like rain.

One step in life, does he regret it?

Ji Chong walked up to him again, condescendingly, and looked down at him: "Are you from Ji Rong?"

Shen Jinlin kowtowed, "I am a subject of the late emperor."

Ji Chong snorted lightly, turned around and walked.

Shen Jinlin didn't move for a long time.

In the imperial palace, Taoist aunt Yingya once again entered the Yanqing Hall of the little emperor as Gao Chen's servant, and the seven-year-old child slumped on the big grand master's chair listening to the teacher's lecture.

The old gentleman said something, stopped and asked, "Your Majesty, do you understand?"

The little emperor Ji Lian didn't even bother to move his eyeballs.

The old man waited for a while, but there was no response from the other side, so he continued, "Zhibi Beishan, what he says is a joke. Together with the scholars, we will do it day and night. The king's affairs are exhausted, and I worry about my parents. "On the shore of the land, could it be that the king's minister..."

Yingya looked at her lifeless son, lowered her head and covered her mouth. If she was by her side, how could she let her seven-year-old son live like a 70-year-old son? His son, he has suffered so much.

Gao Chen tilted his head, squinted at her, sneered, raised his legs, and swaggered into the hall.

Hearing the footsteps, the old gentleman looked at him, put down his book quickly and came over to salute, "The old minister has seen Shaoqing."

"Song Shi said you have worked hard."

"Shaoqing is serious. It is an honor for the veteran to give lectures to His Majesty."

"Okay, let's take a break first."

"Yes, Shaoqing."

Song Shidao of the Imperial Academy left Yanqing Hall with his book.

When Ji Lian saw that the chanter was gone, Gu Lu jumped down from the teacher's chair, "Gao Shaoqing, I'm going to catch sparrows and roast them to eat."

The seven-year-old little emperor, with a yellow complexion, was morbidly emaciated, panting after running for a few steps, "Did you hear that?" His face was full of gloominess and Gao Chen.

The son is an emperor, how can he climb trees, dig birds and go down the river to catch fish like the country children? Yingya was in a hurry, and almost jumped over Gao Chen to scold her son, she quietly stood beside Gao Chen, looking at her son earnestly , I hope my son will remember her.

It's a pity that the little emperor doesn't remember her. The first emperor passed away four years ago, when he was only three years old, and he was controlled by the empress dowager and the empress. He didn't see her a few times, so he still remembered what she looked like as a concubine mother.

Gao Chen took his little hand and said with a smile, "Come on, let's catch birds."

"It still needs to be baked."

"Why bake it?" Gao Chen asked.

The little emperor replied proudly, "Little pancake said that he often roasted sparrows when he was young, and it was delicious."

Xiaobingzi is a little eunuch, what kind of person will enter the palace to be a eunuch?It must be a person who can't live on, what will he eat if he doesn't catch birds and wrap his belly.

Gao Chen smiled and remained calm.

The entourage behind him received the signal and walked away quietly. After a while, the seven or eight-year-old Xiaobingzi died in the palace.

Until the evening when she left the palace, Yingya didn't have a chance to stay alone with her son for a while, "Lian'er..." she just said.

Gao Chen interrupted her, "It is absolutely impossible to enter the palace and stay with your son." The Empress Dowager is his elder sister and a member of the Gao family, so he could not agree.

"But look at Lian'er..."

"People have been killed." Gao Chen said it more easily than crushing an ant.

Yingya said, "If you kill one, what will happen to the next one?"

"Then kill again." Swinging and shaking, the robe dragged to the ground, and the evening wind blew, like a charm.

Being blocked one after another, Yingya took a deep breath, turned around and went her own way.

"Don't forget how you managed to enter the palace?" Gao Chen didn't stop, nor did he look behind him, he still knew that the woman had crossed the river and demolished the bridge.

"The subordinates of the King of Chu settled down in the capital, and found that the picture was on the little lady."

Gao Chen stopped, "You mean Ji Chong got it?"

"I don't know about that." Yingya left.

The attendant hurried forward and said in a low voice, "According to our investigation, the regent has arrested two of them, and today he will personally go to Dali Temple to interrogate them."

Then you didn't get the picture. If you got it, you would have killed the person and tried it.

"Little lady surnamed Shen..."

"Master Hui, where did you find it?"

Gao Chen frowned, "Have you checked all the other courtyards of Ji Chong?"

The attendant shrank his head in fright, and bravely said, "Also... maybe there is a private house that we don't know about."

Possibly, it was rare for Gao Chen not to embarrass his subordinates, "Check carefully, we must find out where the person is."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The attendant just wanted to back away, as if thinking of something, he leaned against the master again, "Master, is it possible that Miss Shen is taken to the Prince Regent's Palace?"

Gao Chen stopped raising his foot, "He will?"

The attendant smiled flatteringly, "The little one is just guessing."

Gao Chen landed on the ground, shaking, "I don't know anything else, but when it comes to women, Ji Chong is very clear about it, and even a family like Yingya has no chance to enter his Prince Regent's Palace. He is very picky about the mistress of the house."

"Yes, yes." The little attendant flattered, "So is our grandfather, and the woman who is qualified to be his wife has not yet been born?"

Gao Chen was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, "Reward!"

Having food and drink, and recuperating in the ice room, Shen Chuxia was content, the only thing she was worried about was that her family would worry about her, so she wrote a few letters and asked the girl to send them out.

The little girl felt very embarrassed when she got the letter.

"Okay, then I will give it myself when His Highness comes down."

As soon as the little girl Xi Xin heard this, she dared to accept the letter, "Yes, I will go to the wooden guard right away."

The two little girls left, and Shen Chuxia was alone, so she could only tease the parrot, "Little Green Brother, do you think there is any window to escape from?"

"Take a break..."

"Tch." Shen Chuxia didn't want to argue with this bird, she turned her head, "Little Hongmei, what do you think I used a beauty trick?"

Little Hongmei fluttered her wings in the cage, "Beauty...beauty..."

"You're beautiful..." Shen Chuxia lowered her head, "I'm so injured that I can't even use a beauty trick, why is my life so hard?" She threw herself on the bed and wailed.

"Beauty...beauty..." Xiao Hongmei kept shouting.

Shen Chuxia was so annoyed that she jumped up, "Give it to me..." When he found that the door opened at some point, Ji Chong stood with his hands behind his back.

Outside the door, the light poured in, making the man in black look more handsome, majestic, and elegant in his bones, like someone's noble son.

In the modern media, Shen Chuxia had never seen any fresh meat mooncakes before, but he was stunned on the spot, and only wanted to be his servant.

"I heard that someone wants to make a beauty trick?"

"..." Shen Chuxia came back to her senses, and quickly got up and stood up. Thinking about it was wrong, why should he lock her up and keep her from being free? care about him.

Ji Chong raised his eyebrows.

Behind him, all the maids retreated out in a sensible manner.

"Beauty tricks are not impossible."

"Tch..." Even though it's the ceiling, I can't help but feel fatigued from looking at him every day. When Shen Chuxia saw someone approaching, she changed her body and just didn't look at him.

Ji Chong sat down next to her, "How is the wound?" He reached out to peel off her collar.

Shen Chuxia is already immune to his action, isn't it just to look at the skin around the collarbone, modern people wear suspenders, and they show more than this, she doesn't care, "Your Highness, look, my wounds have scabbed over , let me go home."

Ji Chong didn't seem to hear what she said. He carefully looked at the front collarbone and the back, and even touched the warped skin with his fingertips. Seeing that there were no scars under the scab, he was secretly satisfied, in order to have no scars at all. In India, it will take a period of diet and recuperation.

He reached out and pulled her collar.

She is so ugly, the dog man can still look at it, and still doesn't let her go home, it's really evil, Shen Chuxia deliberately tore off the collar again, exposing the neck, there are scars from whipping under the neck, it's ugly .

She wanted to embarrass him to death.

The childish action won the 'beauty' a smile, "I really don't mind you becoming my woman now."

"..." Shen Chuxia doubted her ears, he could speak like this?How hungry and thirsty he was, he closed his collar quickly, seemingly serious and unchanging, but in fact his heart was beating like thunder and he panicked a lot.

No way, the old man is flirting with her?

The room suddenly became eerily quiet.

Shen Chuxia's eyes didn't know where to look, "Then...that Your Highness...I want to see how the shop is going..."

"I read it for you, it's very good."

Shen Chuxia turned to look at him, "But Your Highness, my family has not seen me for so many days, they will be worried about me."

"It's okay, I've already had someone tell the Shen Yuan family."

"Ah..." Shen Chuxia's brain reacted quickly, "How...how do you tell them?"

"Here I am."

With him?Shen Chuxia's nerves seemed to be touched by something, and she stood up all of a sudden, "Your Highness, you said that I am just your retainer, how can you go back on what you said?"

Ji Chong is still sitting.

she stands.

he sits.

One head down, one head up.

One is emotional, and the other is slowly becoming indifferent and alienated.

"Why did you contradict your promise?" His eyes were cold.

It was so cold that Shen Chuxia's heart cooled down.

She turned her head and didn't look at him, "The Shen family has a family rule that a daughter cannot be a concubine or a concubine."

Ji Chong narrowed his eyes, and slowly got up, "Do you think the Shen family's family training is useful to me?"

Shen Chuxia was terrified when she heard his words, and suddenly turned to look at him.

In a place she didn't even know, tears flowed down her cheeks, she bit her lip, stubborn and unyielding: "That's His Highness's business."

Ji Chong lowered his head, the loneliness and indifference that belonged to him, the indifference and sense of distance that should have disappeared long ago, are now penetrating into her bones like a flood.

That kind of fierce aloofness made her feel cold all over.

Ji Chong cast her eyes away, and walked away with his hands behind his back.

After more than a month of rushing work day and night, the barren north moat has taken on a new look, several new shops have been erected, and the desolate wharf has become lively all of a sudden. Ships of all sizes are docking here, and they have come ashore to look for new ones. Business.

The shop is about to open, but brother Shen is still missing, Boss Yu is in a panic, "Little rabbit, is your injury still healed?"

Shen Chuxia's external injuries were not small from a fall.

Little Rabbit shook his head, "I'm also in a hurry, but Brother Dezhi said that she is still in the medical clinic because of her inconvenient legs."

"That medical clinic, I'll go and have a look."

The little rabbit shrugged, "It's the hospital sent by the regent."

"Is that too hospital?" Boss Yu was stunned. It's really not something common people like them can go there.

Falling out with Ji Chong, Shen Chuxia thought he would imprison her for the rest of her life, she was so worried that she was not in the mood to eat for a few days, she became thin all of a sudden, the little girl Xixin ran over to look for Mutong.

Mu Tong really doesn't understand his master, he has had a fight with Miss Shen several times, if he doesn't like it, he dumps it, why keep it, if it really doesn't work, then he will give Miss Shen a knife, save More sulking later.

"Wooden guard, what do you think, if you don't eat well, you will die."

Xi Xin has been a slave since she was a child, and she knows the tricks in the mansion. It seems that she can kill people without beating or killing them.

The master has been in a bad mood recently, and Mu Tong also got angry, complaining in his heart that Miss Shen couldn't coax His Highness a little bit, when she gets angry, her voice will inevitably be uncontrollable.

"If you don't eat, don't eat, let her go."

The room door swung open.

Mu Tong trembled in fright, "Your Highness... Your Highness..." The master's cold gaze could kill someone, and with a plop, he knelt down, "Your Highness, spare me!"

Ji Chong raised his eyes.

Looking in the direction of where someone lives.

"Tell her when she can go out with no scars or marks on her body."

"..."

Mu Tong and Xi Xin looked at each other quietly, what does this mean, Your Highness?He also likes Miss Shen, not only that, but he also set her free?
"Yes, Your Highness." Xi Xin hurried back to tell Miss Shen the good news.

Shen Chuxia couldn't believe it.

"Really, Your Highness really said so."

oh.Shen Chuxia thought, I have to believe it if I don't believe it, this is his territory.

With a goal in mind, Shen Chuxia started to eat and drink again.

There is one thing that Shen Chuxia actually admits, although Ji Chong always looks like eating dead people, but her injuries are really good. In addition to the imperial doctor's treatment, there is also a therapeutic medicinal bath, which can remove scars in all directions without dead ends.

Although she has doubts about his purpose, whether she can let him succeed in the future is another matter. Now, let me thank you first.

How can I thank you?Living under the eaves of others, she wants money but no money, and things but nothing. It seems that she can only say a few nice words, but she can't leave the room, and she can't even say flattering words.

Wait, she remembered, you can write a letter.

Two days later, Ji Chong received someone's first letter of apology (flattering).

Dear Highness, hello: When I pick up the pen, I don’t know where to thank you for a while, so let’s start with you for saving me...

What nonsense essay, Shen Chuanlu (No. 4 in the imperial examination) has a brilliant writing style, and his daughter wrote such a thing?
A certain person almost threw away the letter in dislike, but Mu Tongming saw that the corners of his mouth were curled up to the back of his ears. In order to save his life, he quietly backed out and closed the study door carefully.

There was no one else in the study.

Ji Chong laughed, little girl, she would go to the house to expose the tiles if she didn't fight every day.

On a June day, the weather was so hot that a dog could hardly breathe. Shen Chuxia's injuries were completely healed, so good that she didn't seem to have been injured before.

This damned feudal privilege is really fragrant, and she can get all kinds of magic medicine, so that she didn't leave a scar at all.

"I can leave." Asarum and Fennel looked at each other.

Shen Chuxia understood in seconds, "I don't want to make things difficult for you, just help me to ask quickly."

"Yes, Miss Shen." Xi Xin hurried to the front study.

"Wait a minute." In order to prevent someone from denying the account, Shen Chuxia felt that a letter would be safer, so she quickly picked up a pen and wrote three pages. After finishing writing, she blew it and put it in an envelope, "It must be handed over to Your Highness."

"Yes, Miss Shen."

After the summer planting, June was the season of frequent floods. While Ji Chong was busy with flood control, his scientific research resumed a thousand threads. Mu Tong waited until he had lunch before handing over the letter to the master.

In the past 20 days, there seemed to be no such person as Shen Chuxia in the Prince Regent's Mansion, and Ji Chong also thought that he had forgotten that there was such a little lady. His complexion instantly turned bad.

"Your Highness...Your Highness...After a while, Grand Master Wei will come to talk about the scientific research..." Mu Tong's implication is that you should read the letter quickly when Your Highness is free, and put it aside when you are not free.

In order for Wei Mintang to have a suitable identity as the chief examiner, Ji Chong awarded him a scholar of the literati pavilion, the fifth rank, not an official position with real power, but a title of honor, but it can be a consultant to the emperor. If he is favored by the emperor, a false position will also become Plum.

What is written on the three pages?

They were all fluffy words of flattery, and none of them were correct, so Ji Chong threw the letter away angrily.

Mu Tong took a peek at the letter page that was about to fall to the ground at the corner of the table, and caught sight of the sentence: Your Highness is as admirable as mountains and rivers, and has a broad mind like the sea. Surely what you said to the little girl is true, then Your Highness I packed up and went home...

He flattered the horse openly, but poked secretly for fear that what he said would not count, Ji Chong was really angry.

Xi Xin returned to the room, and Shen Chuxia hurriedly asked, "How is it? Did Your Highness let me go?"

"I heard from the wooden guard that he is very busy, and I don't know when he will see the letter."

so?Really busy or pretext?
Regardless, Shen Chuxia couldn't stay in this birdcage for a day, so she hurriedly found the most common and plain clothes to change into, without bringing anything, opened the door and left.

Asarum and Fennel looked at each other and stood still.

Shen Chuxia paused, and found that the two girls didn't stop her. She relaxed and continued to go outside. There were no guards in the corridor.

Can we really go out?
Shen Chuxia got excited, started to trot, and asked while running, "Where is the gate?"

The guard in the corridor pointed.

Like escaping from a secret room, Shen Chuxia followed the directions of the guards and ran out of the gate.

Running out of the gate, he was out of breath, stopped to breathe, suddenly thought of something, subconsciously turned his head and looked at the door plaque behind him, there were four big gilt characters written on it——

Regent House.

She froze.

What did she look like just now?Running all the way, what's the difference with a lunatic.

In addition to wanting to die, there is also a deep shock in her heart. She actually ran out from the place that she once looked up to and couldn't reach?

　N years later, Ji Chong's daughter said: This is the first love letter from mother to you.

　　A certain woman: Bullshit love letter, this is evidence of oppression.

　　A certain man is proud: what his daughter said is right.

　　A certain woman: Sure enough, the daughter is the man's lover in his previous life, she can't do it, bye, she's going to cool off.
