The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 120
Listening to the little bun's gibberish, Xiaozong gradually felt suffocated.

Thinking of him as an old man, he won the favor of the Supreme Emperor after going through five trials and beheading six generals. At that time, he wished he could stay in the palace for the rest of his life and be the Ninth Five-Year King.A worthless person like King Fu would roll up his bedding and leave the palace in despair.

This brat, why doesn't he have any ambitions!

Xiaozong kept thinking about it in his heart, and coughed heavily.Dai Quan hurriedly paid his respects with a smile on his face, and smiled with the pretendingly ignorant Zhengde: "Little master, this is."

Before Dai Quan could finish speaking, Zhengde put the melon aside, with his little feet hanging down, his fleshy little buttocks pushed down hard, and he jumped off the high chair steadily.Facing Xiaozong, it was a five-body prostration gift: "The grass people have seen His Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live long live long live long live long live long live my emperor."

Xiaozong looked at him closely: "Who are you? How dare you break into the Shenwu Gate? Do you know that this is a serious crime involving the nine clans?"

Zhengde's little meaty bun face made seven or eight expressions in an instant, all of which were extremely weird. If Xiaozong hadn't been worried about Dai Quan being here, he would have laughed out loud.

"The emperor doesn't know me?" Zhengde seemed puzzled, and then he raised his fists full of indignation and said bitterly: "I knew I was cheated, how could I be the son of Long Live Lord! It must be Gu Erlang's black heart spreading rumors behind our backs in an attempt to ruin our family's reputation!"

"Who is Gu Erlang?"

Dai Quan hurriedly shook his head: "Long Live Lord, this is the first time I've heard of it."

Zhengde said disdainfully: "Gu Erlang is the son of Gu Peisheng, the governor of Liangjiang. This man is so wicked! He has repeatedly harmed our family, but the emperor must severely punish this Gu Erlang. He dared to spread such terrible rumors, and our family was almost killed by him." kill!"

Xiaozong frowned tightly, and said to Dai Quan in a low voice: "Ask the governor of the town to investigate this Gu Erlang."

Dai Quan was speechless for a moment: Lord Long Live, even a slave like him can tell that it's clearly the little master of Zhengde who caused trouble, and clearly has a rift with the Gu family, let's not say whose fault it is. However, as long as the Lord Long Live handed over to the Zhen Fusi gang to check the Gu family, even if there is nothing to do, they will also bring a few lawsuits.

What's more, Gu Peisheng is in the position of governor of Liangjiang, who can keep his innocence?His son may not be a reusable thing.

Zhenfusi's nose is still working.

Dai Quan looked at the ghostly little master Zhengde, and sighed in his heart, Mr. Gu, it's not that our family doesn't intercede for you, it's that you messed up who is wrong, but Long Live Lord sees the little master Zhengde anywhere is good, with him If you can't afford it, isn't it just that you can't live with the emperor?

Thinking of the things that Gu Peisheng dedicated to himself every year, Dai Quan felt that he should send a message to the Gu family.Don't really anger the emperor, Gu Peisheng shook him out.

Zhengde opened and closed his small mouth, not allowing Xiaozong to interrupt him at all, pouring out all the evil deeds of Gu Erlang, and at the end he sighed: "If this kind of person wins the first prize, will it not chill the hearts of scholars all over the world?"

Xiaozong laughed and scolded: "You are young, but you have a worrying temper."

"Long live is wrong, my sister said, I am not worrying about the world, but worrying about the world's worries first, and enjoying the world's happiness later. It is useless for the country and the family to be mediocre. Only an open-minded gentleman can benefit The common people, for the livelihood of the people, are devoting themselves to it.”

Xiaozong couldn't imagine, this kid still has such insight!Then he asked, "Your sister also taught you the following sentences?"

Zhengde said with a smile: "Naturally, it is the truth that I learned from one instance and realized!"

Xiaozong's heart moved, and he silently recited Zhengde's aphorism of Fan Wenzhenggong several times in his heart, and it really had a deep aftertaste.Xiaozong felt a lot of emotion when he saw his own flesh and blood that was not as good as his waist.

This child is really just like what the queen said, it looks like she was carved out of the same mold as herself.Except for the eyes that resemble his biological mother, everything else is full of the characteristics of a royal son.

Xiaozong couldn't help feeling a little bit jealous, and secretly complained why Yuhe didn't bring his children to the capital to look for him.If so, why would he be separated from his son for six years.Now Zhengde looks at him like a stranger, how can Xiaozong not be sad?
Xiaozong suddenly put on a serious face, "Looking at your clever appearance, you are actually confused. If you are not of my blood, how can the Imperial Forest Army let you in? Now that you are old enough, you must learn the rules of the palace. You are allowed to stay in Xing Stay at home for a few days, and when your grandfather comes to Beijing, he will be born in Ouyang's house to listen to the call!"

Dai Quan hurriedly smiled and said: "Little master, why don't you thank the Lord for your kindness?"

The more he said that, the faster Zhengde's tears fell.Xiaozong said angrily: "A man does not shed tears lightly. As my prince, how can you be so cowardly."

Zhengde didn't care so much, he would run out if he took the road, and his short legs ran faster and faster.

Dai Quan hurriedly called the guards outside the hall to stop him, Xiaozong's face was livid: "Things that don't know good or bad! They are all spoiled by small families like the Xing family. Dai Quan, ask the supervisor of ceremonies to send someone Those who know the rules, come and teach the Fifth Prince how to behave."

Only then did the guards outside the hall realize that the person they were holding had such a noble status, and they let go of it without realizing it.

What Zhengde learned from Master Wang was not just for showmanship. He stirred the water with a catfish, and the guards only felt a slip, and the man dropped his hand.

Borrowing skillful energy to move eastward with a cloud hand, the guard was caught off guard and fell to the ground suddenly, looking at the six-year-old Xing Zhengde in disbelief.

"Huh?" Xiaozong was also taken aback: "Who did you learn this kung fu from?"

Zhengde pursed his lips and did not speak, Dai Quan's mouth was bubbling anxiously, and hurriedly begged in a low voice: "Little master, Lord Long Live is asking you something!"

Seeing Dai Quan's low voice, Zhengde said sullenly: "I knew that I was picked up. Those cooks in Wu County like to gossip, saying that I am a wild child that no one wants. When our family was poor , My parents didn’t abandon me, they insisted on me drinking every sip of rice soup. When our family was rich, my parents told my sister that I would inherit all the property in the future, and they never treated me as an adopted son.”

Seeing the tearful look of the child, Xiaozong couldn't help but soften his heart: "Perhaps the Xing family knew your identity from the beginning, and they did it on purpose."

Zhengde wiped his face with his sleeve indiscriminately, and turned his stubborn little face towards Xiaozong: "Then the Ouyang family that His Majesty is talking about should know even more! They can throw me once, and it is clear that they are not good to me, so you send me there."

Dai Quan said with a bitter face: "Little master, don't dare to be so rude to Long Live!"

Xiaozong waved his hand: "It's okay, let him talk."

"If you ask me, the Ouyang family are the ones who really have malicious intentions. Seeing that the emperor likes me, they must want to benefit from me! Don't believe me, would Wansui make a bet with Zhengde?"

Zhengde was personally sent back to Fengwei Hutong by Wang Weishan, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and his attitude was no less respectful than that of those relatives of the emperor.The guard of honor of the Imperial Forest Army was in great fanfare, and another thirty or so people were even stationed directly in the Xing family mansion.

The news that Zhengde is the heir of the royal family spread like swan geese in the alleys, and even in most of the capital city.For a while, the front of Xing's house was crowded with people of all kinds who came to pay a visit, but unfortunately they were all blocked by the Imperial Forest Army.

Zhengde restlessly leaned on the door frame and looked into the inner room, seeing Lu's maids coming in or out, he wished he could rush in and ask for clarification.

"What are you making trouble here?" Xiuyan looked at him angrily: "Mom is so angry with you, you have become more and more courageous, and you even managed to break into the palace!"

Zhengde relied on his sister and begged for mercy.Xiuyan was furious when she first found out that he was missing, but now seeing his pitiful appearance, she couldn't bear it.

But once this kind of thing happened, it was enough to make their whole family feel terrified. If Zhengde entered the palace in the future, how worried would they be!
"When does the emperor ask you to enter the palace?"

"It is said that after the empress dowager was buried."

Xiuyan felt sad, and only then did Sister Feng send the news that they would be back in the middle of the month, and it would only be half a month later.Xiuyan caressed Zhengde's forehead: "Is the emperor treating you well? When you enter the palace, you can no longer be self-willed like a family. There are many rules in the palace, and there are many obstacles. You should be careful everywhere."

Daiyu came out from the inner room at some point, she couldn't help feeling sad when she heard these words, the three siblings collapsed at the door and wept bitterly, no matter how many accusations Lu had provoked, they immediately disappeared into clouds of smoke.

It was Xiuyan's birthday now, and it turned out that Jia Baoyu and Baoqin, who became a concubine in the palace, were on the same day, so Yuanchun issued an order to Mrs. Lu, saying that there is no wife in charge of the Rongguo Mansion, and I am afraid that the birthday will be too deserted, so please trouble me. Mrs. Lu personally went to the mansion to preside over it.

The will of Fengzao Palace seems to be gentle, but in fact it is pressing every step of the way, and there is no tolerance for Lu Shi and others.

Xia Shouzhong, the eunuch in charge of the palace, just left, and You Shi of Ningguo Mansion entered the door behind. He said the same thing, but more humble, and his eyes fell on Zhengde who was standing on the side from time to time.

It was difficult for Mrs. Lu to shirk, but fortunately she had taken the medicine from the imperial physician, and her pregnancy was stabilized. On the second day, she took Xiuyan, Daiyu, Zhengde, and Qiaojie to the Rongguo Mansion in a chariot and horse.

Jia Baoyu finished freshening up early in the morning, changed into new clothes, put on a crown and came to the front hall. His grandma brother Li Gui and others had already set up heaven and earth incense candles.Baoyu took the incense and saluted. After offering tea and burning paper, he still asked for incense.

Li Gui was puzzled: "Why is the second master still burning?"

"You are so confused, today is also Sister Xing's birthday, I should pay her respects!"

Li Gui said with a smile: "Second Master is still thoughtful, but we are bastards who forgot about this important matter."

Complacent, Jia Baoyu held up a joss stick and bowed to the sky three times, then went to the ancestral hall of the Zhongzong Temple in Ningfu to salute, sat with Youshi for a while, and then returned to Rongfu.First go to Aunt Xue's place, pull it again and again, and see Xue Biaofang to the garden.Qingwen and sheyue were waiting at the second gate early. When they saw Baoyu coming in, they hurriedly pulled him and saluted Li Wan one by one.

The weather has entered the hot season, and Baoyu has only been out for more than an hour, and he is sweating profusely. As Xiren was about to change his clothes, a little girl ran in from outside: "Second Lord, Mrs. Xing brought Miss Lin and Miss Xing into the mansion. Already!"

Jia Baoyu was overjoyed, turned his head and said excitedly with Xiren: "I said that sister Lin will definitely come back, that's all right, we can make an appointment again today."

Xiren pinched Xia Shirt and called him from behind, but Jia Baoyu had long since disappeared!
