Gongmen Chunhan

Chapter 17 Draft

Jiuyue did not return to Chuxiu Palace to reply, but directly changed into another eunuch's clothes and left the palace with the token, heading straight to Prince Rui's mansion.

This stay was just staying in Prince Rui's mansion for a day. The anxious Lafayette was looking for someone in the palace. It was Prince Rui who sent someone to pass the word to know that he was in Prince Rui's mansion, but he was quickly brought back to the palace by Eunuch Li. up.

Jiuyue knelt on the ground, pinching the sleeves tightly with her fingers, holding her head high, staring at Lafayette angrily, gritting her teeth and uttering a few words, "Mother Huang, my daughter should not stay here, my daughter has to go back to Summer Mountain Resort ".

"No, the imperial doctor said that you can't go back now that your body is not fully healed, and it's too dark to recuperate." Lafayette seemed unaffected, gently scraping the lid of the cup and drinking tea.

"Emperor Niang..." shouted three words, with tears in his mouth, he gritted his teeth and looked at Lafayette.

"Gege, get up first, don't kneel down, it's cold on the ground" Eunuch Li yelled softly from the side, it was also a pain in his heart.

"Let her kneel, and get up when she is obedient." Although Lafayette stood on the mother's side, he still couldn't change the empress dowager's arrogance and temper.

"Lafayette, you see Gege's face is pale, if he kneels down again, maybe the old disease will recur." The anxious Eunuch Li pleaded.

"Emperor Niang... woo woo woo..." Jiuyue covered her eyeballs, muttered and began to cry.

After all, Lafayette couldn't bear Jiuyue's cry, sighed, and then stood up. Eunuch Li saw it and hurried forward to help him. Lafayette's swaying body came to Jiuyue with steady steps, and stretched out his hand Pass it in front of September and "get up".

There were touching tears on his face, he bit his lip, sobbed a few times, put his hand in the palm of Lafayette, stood up, and wiped away the tears.

"Why did you lose your temper again? It's not good, but what happened?" He stretched out his hand and smoothed the hair around Jiuyue's ear with his smooth jade fingers.

"Long Live the Empress, I really don't remember me...otherwise he wouldn't be so unfeeling to me..." I threw myself into Lafayette's arms, and tears fell down again.

"Okay, okay baby, the queen mother is here! The queen mother will accompany you and wait for the emperor to recover his memory." Gently patting Jiuyue on the back, the emperor's character is uncertain, so naturally With a bit of childishness, it has long since disappeared, and now that I have lost my memory, it is naturally bad for people.

"Emperor mother, I don't want to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation anymore, I want to go back to the summer resort, my daughter shouldn't whine like this." Sobbing and begging, she still couldn't forget the past.

"Okay, if you don't go, you won't go. From now on, you can't just go outside the palace without saying a word, to accompany the empress in the palace, and now that you are a case of Jiuzhang, you can't let your identity be exposed, otherwise this But it's terrible, do you understand!" With a gentle voice of command, she changed the topic while pulling Jiuyue's clothes while smiling.

"Emperor Niang, do you really believe what the abbot said? My daughter is in good health!" Jiuyue didn't expect Lafayette to believe the abbot's words so much, and really let her conceal her identity as the case of Jiuzhang. When Lafayette opened the topic, Jiuyue knew that there was nothing she could do if she persisted, so she had no choice but to not mention it for the time being.

"You are the darling of the Empress, not to mention that, if it is Aijia's life, Aijia will give it to him, as long as Xiaojiu can grow up healthy and healthy, it must be the best." September was delivered by Lafayette himself, and then raised in the Summer Resort. This relationship is naturally inseparable from his son Emperor Shunzhi.

"Emperor Niang's daughter should not marry Prince Rui, the daughter's marriage must be decided by herself." Holding Lafayette's hand, the eyelashes with teardrops moved slightly.

Before, Prince Rui had intentionally asked Lafayette for a marriage, but he couldn't find a chance for a while, but this news was known to Jiuyue, and he heard the discussion from the servants when he went to Prince Rui's mansion.

"Who said that the Ai family wanted to marry you to Prince Rui? Besides, even if Prince Rui came to ask for marriage, the Ai family would not agree. If our family wants to marry in September, we must marry the best one. Marrying one person is more than ten thousand. The next person" took Jiuyue's hand with a weird smile.

"Where did the queen's mother say that?" Pulling Lafayette's hand with a bit of tears and shame, she smiled.

"Gege finally smiled." Eunuch Li leaned forward and said kindly.

Jiuyue leaned on Lafayette's shoulder with a smile on her face, closed her eyes gently, bursts of fruity smell came into her nose, gently wrapped her palms around Lafayette's arm, and whispered, "Mother Huang, very nice".

The corners of the eyes that have been soaked in the years are marked by a smile, the vermilion lips are light, and the palm of the hand gently pats Jiuyue's back, saying softly, "You are the fate of the empress".

Eunuch Li at the side stood quietly, whispering words fell into his ears, afraid that he would be happy to see such harmony, so he retreated with a few young eunuchs.

Beijing Lively Inn
Today's inn is much more lively than in the past, even the private rooms on the second floor are completely reserved, the reason has something to do with the young man in silk and satin at the next table.

"Tomorrow is the draft. If the Long Live Lord confers the two young ladies of our Nalan family as concubines, tomorrow will be a great joy for our family. The Lord will hold a banquet for three days and three nights at the Laifu Inn for all the people in the capital." The person who said this was Nalan Mingde, the eldest son of the Nalan family. None of the ancestors of the Nalan family had ever been a successful official. Get some money and become a magistrate.

This Nalan Mingde is usually a spendthrift master, relying on his family's power and power, he often does some immoral things. This time, if the girl is sent to the palace and chooses a concubine, wouldn't she be a relative of the emperor? , with this idea in mind, but did not spend less money.

"Master Nalan is serious about what he said, everyone remember it." The shopkeeper was the most active one, standing on the edge of the table and chairs, holding up the big cigarette in his hand and shouting.

The spacious inn is full of people who come to eat, drink tea, and drink. They also keep an ear to listen to Nalan Mingde's words, and of course they also booed, "The two ladies of the Nalan family Beautiful and beautiful, how could she not be selected in the palace!"

"That's right, look at that, she is a beautiful woman who is so beautiful, so smart, she must be a dragon and a phoenix among people, she is either rich or noble, and she is bound to flourish in the future and be favored in the harem." A person who looks as young as Nalan Mingde, but this People are more bookish than Nalan Mingde's wandering.

"That young lady of our family, don't talk about her appearance, she has already seduced a man's soul with a single Ming smile. If it's time for the draft, and she smiles at the emperor, this queen is our Nalan It's home." Nalan Mingde was praised so much that he no longer knew the north, south, east, west, and north. He completely forgot that this is the capital city, and there are dignitaries everywhere at the foot of the emperor. This place is like a gathering place for officials.

A few people in light blue clothes at the next table smiled softly after hearing this, and with a bit of disdain, the person sitting next to the front seat said softly, "Master, this Nalan Mingde is really serious." Open mouth."

"Xiao Guizi, look at those sitting over there. Ten or five of them are related to officials. If this word spreads to the Yehenala family, you think the two beauties of the Nalan family will stand up to it?" Do you want to make a fuss?" Eunuch Li raised the teacup and narrowed his eyes slightly, a moment of boredom slipped through his deep eyes, but the finger that landed on the teacup nodded unexpectedly.

"What the manager said is that" Xiao Guizi smiled a little, and his eyes never left the table again, so he must know what's going on behind the scenes without using his eyes to look at him.

As expected, just after the momentum passed, several people present couldn't help but left. After leaving the lively inn, they went straight to the Yehenala mansion.

On the contrary, Xiao Guizi took a sharp look, and then whispered to Eunuch Li, "The manager is gone."

"The two of you follow up to see who is the person who is leaving. We will finish the work later and go directly to the palace." Eunuch Li got up and left the inn with another young eunuch beside him.

Xiao Guizi who led the conversation and another eunuch paid the silver tea money and left the inn to look for the shadows of those people.

Eunuch Li didn't go back to the palace directly, but went to Prince Rui's mansion first, and on the way to Prince Rui's mansion, he took a shortcut directly for the sake of safety.

This Prince Rui is not an ordinary person, his predecessor was the well-known Prince Guo in the capital, and now he is also a favored confidant beside Lafayette.

When he arrived at Prince Rui's mansion, he followed the young eunuch to knock on the door and looked around for fear of being recognized.

After the heavy mahogany door opened, an old man in his sixties leaned forward with a sturdy figure and said, "Mr. Li, please come in."

"Prince Rui is here!" Eunuch Li looked at the drinks placed in the yard, thinking that he just drank and didn't have time to clean them up, so he asked with a smile.

"My lord is inside, Mr. Li, please." The camp steward nodded and said with a smile.

Eunuch Li didn't speak, and after looking at the drinks on the eye stone table, he strode towards the inside of the room with big strides. After entering the inner room, Eunuch Li saw Prince Rui who was wiping the vase in his hand.

After retreating the people in the room, Eunuch Li walked around, looked at the vase in Prince Rui's hand and smiled lightly, "My lord is so elegant, this porcelain is the latest batch from Jingdezhen".

"Mr. Li has good eyesight" turned around, picked up the handkerchief and continued to wipe, for fear of falling a drop of dust.

"How can this slave's eyesight be compared to Prince Rui's? I'm afraid it's a frog in a well who can see him close, not as good as Prince Rui's proud dragon." Eunuch Li said flatteringly.

"What does Mr. Li say? It seems to force the king into a dead end. If this falls into the ears of outsiders, it will cause another storm, won't it?" He pursed his lips and blew gently on the side of the porcelain. In one breath, a perfect smile fell on the smooth porcelain edge.

"Damn the slave, I really can't speak anymore." Eunuch Li nodded his head lightly with an embarrassed smile, and the rare nodding and bowing appeared here.

"I have to work hard, Manager Li. When I enter the palace, I will bring this to Jiu'er, and I will say that this flower arrangement is the most suitable. If there is still a shortage, I will send someone to send a message to the king." Put the vase on the table On the ground, with a somewhat playful smile and a somewhat informal style, he fell into the chair.

"Prince Rui is really good to Ge Ge. Alas, it's a pity that Ge Ge just can't understand Prince Rui's intentions. Otherwise, this Princess Rui would be a sure thing." Eunuch Li, with a hint of concealment, wanted to catch him.

"I know what Manager Li wants, but I'm not in a hurry now. I'll wait for nine years to pass before I make plans. In the future, I hope that Manager Li can take care of Jiu'er more." Prince Rui nodded his chin lightly. , with deep thought in a few smiles.

"Prince Rui, I have a sentence that I don't know if I should say it or not." Eunuch Li walked back and forth, and finally stopped with heavy steps.

"Is there anything inappropriate to say here with this king?" He straightened his body, with a hint of laziness.

"Lafayette is planning to marry Gege to the emperor. If it is not for the nine years, Duan will be the queen of the Qing Dynasty tomorrow." Eunuch Li knows that Prince Rui loves Jiuyue from the bottom of his heart. Prince Rui will definitely be involved in this matter.

Prince Rui knew that Li Lianying's words were just for Nalan's family's idea, and wanted to use his hand to help Yehenala's family, get the position of queen, eradicate Nalan's family, and then secretly accept Nalan's family. Lan family's money, this is a beautiful idea!
"How can this be done according to Director Li's intention?" He said lightly with a somewhat uneasy expression.

"In my opinion, the position of queen may now belong to the Yehenala family, but the two young ladies of the Nalan family are famous beauties. Doesn't the position belong to the Nalan family? Lafayette naturally doesn't want the queen's position to fall into the hands of others. Maybe he has other plans in his heart, and after a few years, he will find a crime to abolish it. Lose the queen, and then canonize Gege as the queen at that time. In order to prevent Lafayette from abolishing the queen, let Gege become the queen. I believe how to do it, who is the queen, which is more important, and what to do. Presumably, Prince Rui has already made up his mind. The slave will not be involved anymore." The more Eunuch Li spoke, the words became more and more detailed, for fear of missing a single word.

"Boss Li thinks the same as this king, let me think about it first." Prince Rui couldn't think of a perfect solution for a while, and his handsome sword eyebrows raised slightly.

"Prince Rui, I don't want to bother you because I have something to do. It's just that Gege has been in a bad mood for the past two days. If Prince Rui is free, he will go to the palace to have a look. Maybe it can relieve Gege's depressed mood." Eunuch Li Nodding his head, he said with a smile, his eyeballs kept looking at Prince Rui.

Hearing that Jiuyue's recent mood is not too much, I feel a little more worried in my heart, and there is a little more worry in my cold deep eyes, "Thank you, Manager Li, for telling me."

Seeing that the conversation was almost over, the housekeeper outside went into the room, stood next to Eunuch Li, stretched out his hand and said, "Boss Li, my slave will lead you out."

"Okay" nodded his head, walked aside and took the porcelain on the table, then took a few steps back habitually before turning around and going out.

Prince Rui inside the room thought that Jiuyue's angry expression was just funny, then he seemed to think of something again, sighed, then closed his eyes and fell down on the chair, crossing his fingers on his lap.
