The county owner is happy, and the scenery is remarried

Chapter 218

Liu Mengyan reached out to untie Chong Wu's belt.

"No." Chong Wu held her hand, "No, it won't work..."

Chongwu's face was red and hot, and Liu Mengyan's actions made him feel embarrassed.

Liu Mengyan looked into his eyes seriously, "Does Your Highness not like me?"

"No, I'm not... not ready yet..." Chong Wu was a little embarrassed.

Liu Mengyan probably knows what is enough and what is haste makes waste.

She sighed and let go of her hand.

The two of them did not cross the thunder pool any further.

But Wen Shu couldn't be warm enough, Chong Wu's thoughts were all on the smooth touch that touched her just now.

Early the next morning, when Liu Mengyan was changing his clothes, he felt hard again.

Liu Mengyan knelt at his feet, her small face was facing his front.

His body shook, and his mind was distracted.

In the morning, the teacher taught him homework, but his answers were irrelevant.

He didn't regret it until he saw the disappointment on his husband's face.

"His Royal Highness, study hard. The Holy Majesty said that after the lunch break, he will personally ask His Highness about homework." The gentleman said with a frown.

The prince hurriedly bowed his hand and agreed.

He was concentrating on turning the pages of the book, but the eunuch brought a box of golden shredded date paste shortbread.

There was a note pressed under the plate of desserts presented to him.

He could recognize the handwriting, and he had praised Liu Mengyan for her beautiful handwriting.

It was precisely because she was able to write poems, was proficient in rhythm, and had a bit of literary talent that he kept Liu Mengyan by his side to serve her.

After reading this note, it was difficult for him to calm down.

I can't help but think of Liu Mengyan half-kneeling in front of him to change his clothes when he got up this morning, and they flashed before his eyes from time to time...

"Your Highness? Your Highness?" The gentleman tapped his desk with a ruler.

There was some embarrassment on Chong Wu's face.

The gentleman sighed and said nothing.

Li Tai has always been very concerned about Chong Wu, and often personally asks about his homework.

There are many things to learn in Chongwu, astronomy and geography, water conservancy and agriculture, the way of courtiers, the way of governing the country...

He knew that these were all things he had to learn in order to put the great responsibility on his shoulders.

So Li Taikao taught him his homework, and he was always looking forward to it.

Today is an exception.

After lunch, he was a little uneasy.

The time that passed in the blink of an eye in the past seems to be extraordinarily long and tormented today.

He even had the urge to run away.

Li Tai arrived as promised.

"The "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" talks about Huan Wen abolishing the establishment. Anxi General Huan Wen will attack the Han, and the generals think it is impossible. How can Jiang Xia Prime Minister Yuan Qiao persuade?" Li Tai asked Chong Wu.

Chong Wu was startled.

If you ask him open-ended questions, he can come up with a few words.

But if you ask him this is a difficult question to memorize, he can't answer it, he...

"Uh, this...he said..."

"What did he say?" Li Tai asked with a smile.

Chong Wu opened his mouth, blushing for a while, "I don't remember the original words clearly."

Li Tai opened his mouth and came, "My husband's management is a little bit big, and it is very emotional. A wise man knows it in his heart, and there is no need to wait for everyone to agree. Today is the patient of the world. Hu and Shu are just two bandits. Although Shu is dangerous, it is stronger than Hu." If you are weak, if you want to get rid of it, you should change it first. Li Shi has no way, his subjects are not attached, and he relies on his dangers and distances, and does not cultivate war preparations. It is better to use fine soldiers and tens of thousands of people to lighten the disease. Compared with his awareness, we It is already out of danger, and it can be captured in one battle. The land of Shu is rich and the household registration is prosperous. Zhuge Wuhou used it to contend against Zhongxia. This is specious. Hu heard that I have traveled thousands of miles, thinking that there are heavy equipment inside, and I will not dare to move; even if there is an invasion, the armies of Yuanjiang are enough to refuse to defend, and there will be no worries."

Chong Wu's face was even more embarrassed.

Under Li Tai's scrutinizing gaze, he couldn't help lowering his head deeply.

Li Tai got up and came to him.

Chong Wu raised his head in embarrassment.

Li Tai raised his hand and touched the top of his head, "I have always valued you, and I know that you are willing to work hard. Don't disappoint those who heard your oath."

Chong Wu muffled in response.

Li Tai didn't scold him.

But he felt more sad than being scolded.

After the sage and the master left, he closed the door of the palace, shut himself in the palace, and cried secretly.

Did not dare to let anyone see.

After crying, he didn't even eat dinner, and seriously recited the original passage and the context that Li Tai asked today.

The eunuch came to persuade him to pass on the meal, and then study after eating.

Whoever advises will be scolded.

He didn't leave the study until it was dark, and returned to the bedroom.

He was still immersed in self-blame.

But Liu Mengyan just came to help him change clothes again, "Your Highness studies too hard, you should cherish your body more..."

Her chest softly brushed against his arm.

Chong Wu's heart skipped a beat.

"Get out—" he snapped.

Liu Mengyan was startled.

But she reacted quickly, her eyes were filled with tears, and she knelt down with a plop, "Your Highness, forgive me..."

"Forget it, I'm not attacking you." Chong Wu waved his hand, "You go down."

Liu Mengyan was still a little unwilling to give up and didn't want to back down.

Chongwu called the servant to come in.

In order to avoid being scolded and sent away by His Highness the Crown Prince in front of the eunuch, Liu Mengyan reluctantly bowed her head and retreated.

"See if I can transfer her to another place, and don't dangle in front of Gu all day long." Chong Wu raised his finger and pointed to the maid walking out of the palace gate.

The eunuch was taken aback for a moment, then looked back, "Your Highness is talking about Miss Liu?"

Chong Wu frowned, "It's not just her, all the court ladies who serve Gu are arranged farther away, especially the work of personal service, all of them are replaced by internal servants."

The eunuch was unexpected.

But for him, this is undoubtedly a great opportunity to get closer to His Royal Highness, "Your servant takes orders!"

He waited for Chong Wu to lie down, and quickly retreated to make arrangements.

"Father-in-law, what's going on here? We are always cautious in everything we do, and we never dare to make His Highness angry. Why does His Highness still despise the servants?" The maid who has a good relationship with the eunuch stepped forward to inquire.

The eunuch smiled, "How can the miscellaneous family know what His Highness is thinking?"

"You serve His Highness every day, what else do you not know? Even if you don't know, you know more than me? Don't make me wait, good father-in-law!" The maid said coquettishly.

Surrounded by several court ladies, the eunuch swayed coquettishly and asked him for advice.

He suddenly felt that the taste was too good, and after enjoying it for a while, he lowered his voice and said slowly, "The other miscellaneous people don't know, they only know that when His Highness changed clothes tonight, His Highness got angry..."

"Serving His Highness to change clothes? Ever since Miss Liu was praised by His Highness, she has never left the hands of others to serve His Highness changing clothes..."

"It must be that vixen!"

"When she benefits, she doesn't think about others! She enjoys the grace alone! Now she has made a mistake, but she wants to implicate us! What's the reason?!"

The maids were immediately annoyed.

The eunuch quickly persuaded them, "It's not necessarily because of her, it's just that she won't let her serve you close."

"It must be because of her!" The maids gritted their teeth.

"I have a way. If I can't, I will please my master again someday. Don't offend the villain!" The eunuch urged.

Seeing Liu Mengyan approaching, everyone dispersed in all directions.

Liu Mengyan frowned slightly, why did she feel like she was isolated by someone?

No matter where she went, no one answered her.

Back then, it was fine in Prince Wu's Mansion, but in the East Palace, there were many people rushing to curry favor with her?

But now...

Liu Mengyan was impatient.

However, Chong Wu made up his mind and had no other distractions. He decided to get back all the face he lost today when his husband and Li Tai take homework exams next time.

Fearing that his self-control is not strong and his mind is wandering, he doesn't even look at the faces of the opposite sex.

His Royal Highness, who only reads sage books, does not know how anxious the court lady who was neglected by him is at this moment.

Yan Ruyu, who was immersed in the book in the afternoon, was in the golden house, and the servant next to the Holy One came to see him.

He also brought many rewards from the emperor.

"Others are for nourishing the body. The donkey-hide gelatin made by Jian's family and the peach gum tribute from central Guizhou. The Holy Majesty worried that His Highness would study hard, so he specially sent a cook who can make medicinal food." The servant said with a smile.

In the afternoon, I quickly thanked you.

The servant approached him and took out a delicate object from his sleeve.

"Others are for nourishing the body, only this one is for His Highness to play with." The waiter said slowly, "The Holy Majesty said that even if you work hard, you must combine work and rest. Weak crown, being physically exhausted is a big deal!"

Chong Wu felt a little touched in his heart, and quickly went to pick up the delicate object with both hands.

The servant put a bunch of strange and textured things in his palm.

But the servant's hand was covering his palm, so that he couldn't see what was put in his palm for a while.

I can only guess by the feel of the hand, like a string of beads.

"Your Highness, please take care of it!" The servant said meaningfully.

Chong Wu nodded hastily, "I will naturally keep the things bestowed by my father."

The waiter nodded and bowed to leave.

Chong Wu spread his palms and looked down.

Looking at it this way, I broke out in a cold sweat.

Brilliant red coral beads!

Red corals are rare, and this string of beads is polished from coral beads that have fallen from intact coral trees.

Those who made coral bead strings at the beginning must be craftsmen with a heart. Each coral bead is uniform in size, polished and shiny, and does not completely wear out the original lines of the coral.

This coral bead string is the best.

It's just that the string of beads was clearly given to him by the Holy Majesty during the New Year's Eve!

Why did it fall into the hands of the Holy One now?Give it to him again?
And the eunuch also told him, "Keep it well!"

Chong Wu's heart tightened.

"Come on."

He called the eunuch into the palace and hid the beads in his sleeve.

"Gu remembers that there was a string of red coral bracelets in the warehouse back then, go and find them for Gu to have a look."

The eunuch responded, and hurriedly took the key and went to the warehouse.

Chongwu waited from morning to afternoon, and then to dusk.

The eunuch came back sweating profusely and reported, "If you go back to Your Highness, the warehouse has been searched all over, but I didn't find the beads you mentioned, but there are these beads, do you see if you like it?"

The eunuch asked the palace servants to present many lacquer plates, on which there were all kinds of bead strings.

But none of the bead strings were the same as the one hidden in his sleeve.

Not even a resemblance.

In fact, if the servant next to the Holy One hadn't brought this thing over, he would have completely forgotten that he had such a bead string.

The East Palace warehouse is not small, and there are many treasures in it, this string of coral beads is really nothing.

He played casually and forgot about it when he turned his face away.

The Holy Majesty was very kind to him, and always rewarded him with many things during festivals.

Even if he really lost such a string of coral beads, the Holy Majesty wouldn't really bother with him, would he?

But the Holy Majesty asked the servants around him to send it specially. Someone must have used this bead to do something that did not please the Holy Majesty?
Chong Wu guessed, his face darkened.

"Who is allowed in and out of the warehouse?"

The eunuch was taken aback, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the keys and matching cards of the warehouse are divided into two people. Without the key or the matching cards, neither can enter the warehouse. The keys are held by the slaves, and the matching cards are in the hall of His Highness." In the middle, someone else kept it."

"Has there been any exceptions?" Chong Wu squinted his eyes, "Is there a record of who entered and exited the warehouse?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, a few days ago, Miss Liu was always holding the pair of cards in the warehouse. Miss Liu served His Highness in daily life, went to the warehouse several times to fetch things for His Highness." The eunuch said cautiously.

Chong Wu's expression was startled, perhaps he hadn't heard of this name for a long time, and when he heard it suddenly, he was still a little uncomfortable.

"Liu Mengyan? Call her!"

Liu Mengyan is very well dressed today.

Even her eyebrows and eyes are carefully drawn.

The peaks of her eyebrows accentuate her perfect face shape, her eyes are bright and energetic, and the bridge of her straight nose is covered with whitening powder, making her look brighter and taller.There are red coral-like blush on both cheeks, which makes her look both complexion and shyness of a girl.

She moves lightly in lotus steps, her waist is like a willow, and the skirt between her steps is like a blooming flower.

Every time she took a step closer, Chong Wu felt her heart beat faster.

"Your Highness..." She spoke softly, her voice soft.

Chongwu only felt this sound, and his bones were about to crumble.

"You step back." Chong Wu waved.

Liu Mengyan stood with her eyes downcast, and only stepped forward after all the servants in the palace retreated, "Your Highness... I haven't seen His Highness for a long time, this servant misses His Highness so much..."

Her soft hands gently grasped Chong Wu's arm, and her tender breasts leaned on his arm.

Chong Wu raised his elbow slightly, and his whole arm fell into a warm trap.

His breathing was slightly rapid, and the original suspicion and anger dissipated a lot now.

"I heard that you did not miss the warehouse a few days ago?" the prince asked.

Liu Mengyan pouted her rosy cherry-like lips, "Yes, the servant girls are all going to fetch things for His Highness, and they have never taken anything privately. If you don't believe His Highness, you can ask the person guarding the warehouse."

"Gu will ask." Chong Wu nodded.

Liu Mengyan's soft and fragrant body is getting closer to Chongwu.

The scent of sweet-scented osmanthus on her head made Chong Wu want to smell it closely.

But thinking of the meaningful expression on the servant's visit today, he quickly straightened his body and pushed Liu Mengyan away a little.

Liu Mengyan looked at Chong Wu with a wounded face, "Is Your Highness still suspicious of the maid? Since the maid came back to the East Palace, His Highness has distanced herself from the maid. It's not like before...My heart...is so sad."

Liu Mengyan raised her hand to pinch the handkerchief, covering her heart.

The half-exposed snow-capped mountains trembled, and Chong Wu felt his blood surge.

If he didn't finish the sentence quickly, he was afraid that he wouldn't be in the mood to say it.

"Have you ever seen this string of coral beads?" Chong Wu took out the string of coral beads from his sleeve.

Liu Mengyan was startled, and shook her head quickly, "No, never...there are so many things in the storeroom, how could the maidservant have seen such a small string of beads?"

"Such a small bead string, it's not difficult to hide it from the guards and secretly take it out of the warehouse?" Chong Wu asked.

Liu Mengyan was taken aback, "Your Highness, do you think that the maidservant took the string of beads? The maidservant has never touched this thing...The maidservant has never taken it without authorization..."

"Whether you took it or not, I can ask you soon, but before I investigate, I will ask you first. If you have done it, you still have a chance now. If you admit it, I will not blame you, but if you clearly did it, But he refuses to admit it. When Gu finds out, it’s not as simple as taking things without authorization.”

Chong Wu's face was a little cold.

Liu Mengyan lowered her head, as if struggling for a while.

"Back to Your Highness, this bead string... is taken by the maid..." Liu Mengyan frowned, her face was full of anxiety, "But that day, it was His Highness who said that if the maid likes anything, I can ask you I want... the servant girl went to the warehouse, and saw that this bead string is not a rare thing, it is too small, and it is not suitable for your highness to wear, so the servant girl fell in love with it... Later, the maidservant forgot to tell the highness..."

"Forgot to say? Oh, I forgot. What happened later? Why is the string of beads not on your body anymore?"

Chong Wu stared into her eyes.

Liu Mengyan's eyes dodged a little, she wanted to peek at Chong Wu's expression, so as to judge how much he already knew?
But Chong Wu's straight gaze made her dare not look at it.

"If you don't say it, someone will naturally." Chong Wu narrowed his eyes, "It's just that I want to hear the answer from you now, you won't let me down, right?"

Liu Mengyan bit her lower lip, and her eyes drifted away for a while, before she said in a very small voice, "My servant just wanted to know if Yan Youfang, my servant's fellow villager, said something in front of His Highness, which made His Highness suddenly alienated Maid..."

Chong Wu frowned slightly.

"My servant gave this string of beads to Eunuch Jin in Zhaoyang Palace..." Liu Mengyan paused.

Chong Wu sneered, "You wanted to find out what she said in front of me, but you gave the beads to the father-in-law in Zhaoyang Palace? Zhaoyang Palace is where the emperor lived. You inquired about the East Palace from Zhaoyang Palace Son, don’t you seek far away from the near ones?”

Liu Mengyan glanced at Chongwu anxiously, "It's because Yan Youfang is serving in Zhaoyang Palace now, so the servant girl went to ask Eunuch Jin. And His Highness doesn't know... Ever since His Highness alienated and neglected the maidservant, the maidservant has been taken care of by you." Everyone in the Eastern Palace squeezed out..."

She cried pitifully, wiping her tears softly and weakly.

"The maidservant went to cook, but they cleared up all the food early. When it was the maidservant's turn, they said there was no more. Even if the maidservant went earlier on purpose, they said no, and said that all the food in the pot was left Those who are for others... crowd out the maidservant, make things difficult for the maidservant everywhere, and leave the heavy work to the maidservant..."

Once Liu Mengyan cried like this, she couldn't stop herself.

While crying, she approached Chongwu, and she held Chongwu's hand with both hands.

Chong Wu didn't shake it off, but felt that her hands were still soft.

For some reason, he suddenly thought of Yan Youfang's hand.

Those were a pair of hands soaked in water for a long time and washing clothes for a long time, which became rough and not as smooth as a girl's.

But her hands were slender and clean, not even a trace of dirt between her fingers.

Liu Mengyan was still crying, how pitiful she was.

"Does your Highness not trust the maidservant? Your Highness, don't listen to other people's instigation! The maidservant's background is clean!"

Chongwu only felt that the word "clean" was used here, which seemed a bit ironic.

"The servant girl only thinks about His Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness must not believe Yan Youfang's words! The servant girl believed her back then, but she really believed in the wrong person!" Liu Mengyan's tears fell on Chongwu's shoulder.

"She didn't say anything." Chong Wu couldn't help but said.

"Then why does Your Highness alienate the maidservant? Since the maidservant came back from Prince Wu's mansion...was Princess Wu telling you to alienate the maidservant? The maidservant knows that Princess Wu doesn't like the maidservant, but the maidservant..."

"Shut up!" Chong Wu suddenly shouted coldly, "Hasn't Gu told you that you can't talk about Princess Wu in front of Gu?"

Liu Mengyan was startled by his scolding.

She originally painted an extremely delicate makeup, but now she has been crying for a long time, and the makeup on her face has long since faded.

Chong Wu frowned, "Gu can tell you that alienating you is not because of what anyone said in front of Gu. It's because of you!"

Liu Mengyan was stunned, "What did maidservant do wrong? I beg Your Highness to give maidservant a chance to reform, maidservant will definitely correct it!"

"Gu is very annoyed by you pestering Gu." Chong Wu sighed.

Liu Mengyan's face turned pale and desperate, "What did the prince say..."

"Because of your entanglement, Gu was unable to review the homework left by Mr., which disappointed Mr. and my father. Because of your entanglement, my father sent someone to send this bead string back as a warning, reminding Gu not to stretch my hand. It's too long. Because of your entanglement, Gu is very annoying now!" Chong Wu pushed her away from him, he got up and walked a few steps away, looking back at her coldly.

Liu Mengyan froze all over, she knelt on the ground, tears fell silently.

How could this be?
Is that what she learned at home?Red sleeves add fragrance, considerate, use her own advantages to keep a man's heart... She did nothing wrong?
Chong Wu sighed, "For the sake of taking good care of the orphan, I will give you two choices now."

Liu Mengyan trembled all over, and suddenly raised her head, "Don't drive this servant away!"

"Leave the East Palace, or, leave the palace." Chong Wu's tone was clear and cold, although he was reluctant, but he was entangled by Cai Cai just now and there was nothing left.

Liu Mengyan shook her head helplessly, "No, don't, Your Highness...don't drive this servant away..."

Seeing that she refused to retreat, Chong Wu turned his head and called out.

Immediately, a series of eunuchs came in and pulled Liu Mengyan out.

Liu Mengyan refused to leave.

Chongwu thought about the past friendship, but he didn't force her to leave.

It's just that Donggong didn't give her work, and no one took care of her.

Liu Mengyan was not reconciled, and she rushed to do the rough work of cleaning that she looked down on the most in the past.

But the maid of honor took the broom back.

"Do you want me to be kicked out of the East Palace like you?" The maid rolled her eyes.

Liu Mengyan relied on being rejected by others, but it was difficult to see the face of His Highness the Crown Prince.

She used to accompany the prince and get close to the prince, but now she can't go there with her identity.

Staying in the East Palace like this, her self-esteem was trampled under the feet of the rough servants she looked down on the most, she finally couldn't stand it anymore, and begged her father-in-law to tell His Highness the Crown Prince that she was willing to leave the palace.

Once a court lady enters the palace, if she doesn't catch up with the Holy Majesty and amnesty the world, she will be sent back to the court lady, and she will be wasted in the palace for the rest of her life.

She was able to be released home at a young age and allowed to marry, which was really a special kindness to her from Chongwu.

Whether she will be grateful for this grace is unknown.

But after she left the palace, Chongwu went to Wu Wangfu again.

This time it's been almost a month.

When Chongwu arrived at Prince Wu's Mansion, no one was allowed to report, so he went straight into the main courtyard and knelt quietly outside the main room.

Liu Lanxue was taken aback and pulled him up, he was really sorry.

Xiao Yuzhuo was taking a nap in the inner room.

"The servant girl is going to wake the lady up."

"Don't bark!" Chong Wu frowned, "Don't disturb Auntie's sleep!"

Liu Lanxue gave him a helpless look, so she had to wait outside the door with him, and let the lady's confidantes stay outside the courtyard so that no one would see His Highness the Crown Prince kneeling outside the door of Princess Wu.

Xiao Yuzhuo slept for half an hour before getting up, pushed the door and saw Chong Wu was kneeling outside the door, she was startled, raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, "Is this a dream?"

"Aniang, I know I'm wrong." Chong Wu said in a muffled voice.

Xiao Yuzhuo looked at Liu Lanxue, "Where is he singing?"

Liu Lanxue shook her head, "The servant girl can't persuade His Highness, His Highness kneels here sincerely, and didn't ask the servant girl to wait for someone to wake the lady up."

"Get up quickly, have you forgotten your current identity?" Xiao Yuzhuo slightly emphasized his tone.

Chongwu didn't stand up immediately, "I forgot my origins! I thought I was the prince, I thought I had seen some government affairs with the Holy Majesty, I had seen courtiers' disputes, so I thought I was better than them, and I thought I was nothing. You all understand that you can make decisions about everything, and you can handle it well. You are arrogant!"

Xiao Yuzhuo laughed, bent down to help him up himself, "I still have a small one in my stomach, I can't use it, you'd better stand up by yourself."

Chong Wu didn't dare to be stubborn any more, and quickly followed Xiao Yuzhuo's strength to stand up.

"I heard that the maid in your palace, have you been released back to Yuzhang County?" Xiao Yuzhuo entered the door.

Chong Wu quickly followed in.

It was a hot day, and Liu Lanxue served two bowls of mung bean smoothie. The taste of finely crushed ice and mung bean smoothie, combined with the sweetness of rock sugar, made people feel refreshed from the throat to the heart.

After eating two mouthfuls of mung bean smoothie in the afternoon, she carefully glanced at Xiao Yuzhuo, "Does Mommy think it's too tender? It shouldn't be so easy..."

Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head, "Your father taught me that now that you are old, the benefits and disadvantages should be clearly explained to you. What to do and how to choose are all your own affairs, and you make up your own mind. I won't say what to do or not to do. It's time."

There was a look of injury on Chong Wu's face, "Auntie, please forgive me, I already know that I was wrong, I came to the Wu Palace to apologize to Auntie today, just to ask Auntie to continue to discipline me!"

Xiao Yuzhuo smiled and shook his head, "No, I don't care about it, Auntie."

When Chongwu heard the words, tears were about to fall, "Aunt...can you never forgive me again?"
