The 68th dragon scale (7)
The emperor Zhenzong smiled and said, "in any case, she is your mother. You can't like her. It's understandable to have some small hands occasionally, but you should pay attention to discretion and never do things you regret."
Over the years, the emperor Zhenzong has also been open to it and no longer wants empress Cen's return in love. However, empress CEN is the biological mother of his son. He is willing to give her this dignity. In addition, empress Cen has done nothing to hurt them except ignoring their father and son, although emotional injury can not be avoided, But the real Emperor didn't hate her because of love. You can't say that because you love someone, it's the other party's fault that the person doesn't respond to you. Love is mutual.
He put his arm around his son's shoulder, rubbed his little head, and told him the truth. Finally, he concluded: "the father didn't realize this until he had you, Longbao. You have to understand."
The birth of the child gradually eased his anger, disappointment and sadness at that time, and also healed the wound in his heart. Now he can't think of those years of begging. It's like a distant world, but he can't stir up a wave.
Linglong nodded his head. He always behaved badly in front of the real emperor. He played a perfect game of flattering the emperor and disobeying the emperor. The real Emperor didn't know how much pain he had given queen Cen over the years. As for fan companion who knew everything... Hee hee, who told fan Companion to hurt him? I saw that he didn't make too much trouble, He has always turned a blind eye and even helped him.
The Zhenzong Emperor may not resent, but fan Sanbing, who has served him for many years, is dissatisfied with empress Cen. He happens to hit it off with Linglong and work together with the old and the young. Empress Cen has really suffered a lot of dumb losses.
After exchanging feelings with the Zhenzong emperor, Linglong returned to the East Palace and found that the little prince was actually reading well. It was really a strange thing in the world. He dozed off when he picked up books. He could not play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He was not proficient in poetry, poetry and Fu, but he was an expert in eating, drinking and having fun.
Although tanrong, the new great maid of honor, was promoted from the third-class maid of honor, she was not able to serve her royal highness immediately. To be trained and taught by the great maid of honor, you must be familiar with your Highness's preferences and habits. Otherwise, what do you want her to do if she doesn't serve well?
Chunyun and Chunyan have carefully observed that the new comer is a dutiful person. Although his character is gentle, he is very principled. They are very satisfied and teach more and more carefully. In this case, sandalwood velvet is really served by Linglong until summer.
She has something in her mind. She often thinks about how she can change the tragic scene of her previous life. In the final analysis, all the problems lie with queen Cen. If she can kill queen Cen, it will be solved easily. The saint is a benevolent monarch, and his Highness the crown prince also makes great efforts to cure, but Queen Cen... Asked her to disturb the spring water and cause great chaos in the world, but she is just a little maid in waiting, Empress CEN is often served by countless palace people when she travels. She doesn't know martial arts. It's not easy to assassinate successfully.
Moreover, she is now the maid of the prince's Royal Highness. Even if the assassination is successful, it will damage his Highness's reputation. After all, although empress Cen has a bad reputation, she is the biological mother of Her Highness after all. This matter must be considered in the long run.
But... It's only a few months before that happened.
Linglong didn't notice the new maid at first, but then slowly figured out the taste. This maid named tanrong is more flexible and intelligent than Chunyun Chunyan. Many times he doesn't have to say, she knows what to do and does everything very well. Linglong is gradually used to taking her with her. It has to be said that there is a considerate person to serve her, It's really a liberation for his laziness, who doesn't like to do it yourself.
Tanrong has become a close maid of the prince's Royal Highness, but her temperament is not arrogant at all. She is still gentle and gentle. She treats everyone equally. She is very beautiful. Even compared with the gorgeous queen Cen in those years, she is very outstanding among the maids. When the emperor Zhenzong saw it for the first time, he suddenly realized one thing: her son has grown up and is 14 years old, It's also the age to choose a crown princess.
According to the rules of the palace, when the prince is fourteen, he should arrange maids to serve him. However, this kind of thing is generally arranged by the queen. It is impossible to expect queen Cen. Although he is his own father, the real emperor is still very embarrassed to mention this matter to his son, so he said the question of the Crown Princess implicitly.
He had only empress Cen in his life, but he would not ask his son to do the same. Moreover, the emperor Zhenzong himself had tasted the pain of love and was determined to give up the hard work to raise his son. If his son found a loved one and loved each other, he would not stop them from having two hearts all his life, But if not... The real emperor must choose some women with superior character and appearance for his son.
The eunuch in Jingshi room hasn't lived for decades. Suddenly he was summoned by the saint. He was very excited! It's said that it's to choose a maid to serve the prince. As soon as the eunuch kneels on the ground, he almost doesn't pat his chest to ensure that he will be satisfied with the prince!
So until the maids were sent to the East Palace and stood in line in front of Linglong, he didn't understand what he was doing.
The eunuch in the Jingshi room, surnamed Yang, was laughing so hard that he couldn't see his eyes. He whispered to Linglong.
Linglong suddenly realized, and then looked around in this row of palace maids.
He was born as handsome and noble as the snow and ice of Tianshan Mountain. It was a blessing for the palace ladies to be close to such a prince for several years. Therefore, when he was swept by the exquisite sight, he couldn't help but blush and hang his head, and his heart pounded. For fear of losing the election, he had to show the most beautiful one himself.
Linglong found that eunuch Yang's vision was highly limited. All the things he sent were those with a rich body. They were easy to bear at a glance. Their appearance was not bad. Unfortunately, standing together, they could only be said to be no better.
I can't help it. The sage doesn't pay any attention to women's sex these years. His Highness the prince is small. Every four years, he selects a group of new palace people. As long as he looks dignified and has no scars, no one will send his beautiful daughter to the palace, won't he? Linglong can only be said to be beautiful, but they are all little beauties. They are beautiful and gentle. Linglong really wants to sleep with them. Linglong feels that she has been taken advantage of.
So I didn't see the last one.
Emperor Zhenzong doesn't think so. He also knows how the ladies in the palace look. His son has been favored by heaven since he was a child. No matter his appearance and qualification are rare in the world, it's normal that ordinary beauties can't look up. When the next draft comes out, many people in Beijing have noble women with both talent and beauty. He's afraid that his son can't pick one with eyes?
Tanrong has been with Linglong for a long time. He also hopes that his Highness the prince can make a marriage as soon as possible. It's best to give birth to the emperor's eldest grandson earlier, so as not to give empress Cen an opportunity!
But seeing Linglong couldn't see any of them, she was also a little worried: "Your Highness, why don't you keep any?"
Linglong glanced at her: "did they take advantage of it or did I take advantage of it?"
Tanrong was speechless and touched his conscience. Just now, those carefully selected palace maids stood in front of the crown prince and were all eclipsed. But what kind of beauty in the world will not lose color compared with his highness? It's tomorrow in the sky and fireflies on the earth, which can't be compared at all. If your highness is so picky, you need to find a beauty comparable to his face... Tanrong feels that your highness is more likely to die alone.
Her expression was undisguised. Linglong smiled and suddenly approached her. She was shocked. She even forgot to blink. She stared at the beautiful face in front of her, thinking how could there be such a face in the world? When people saw it, they were so excited that they didn't even dare to see it more, for fear that their soul would also be hooked.
Just listen to the prince's highness: "if you are, you can consider one or two."
Tanrong's face turned red, but Linglong was just teasing her. The little maid was only one year older than him, but she was very mature on weekdays. Even Chunyun Chunyan said that tanrong was more stable and cautious than the tens of years old aunts in the palace. It was rare for her to look like a shy girl. She was very cute.
Tanrong was not a fool. He knew that his highness was a prank to frighten himself. Fu Shen said, "Your Highness, don't play tricks on maidservants."
"How can it be a joke?" Linglong said slowly, "I'm telling the truth. I have to be as beautiful as you to let me have a more look."
Even if she doesn't like empress Cen, Linglong has to admit the beauty of empress Cen in those years. Although she is old and yellow now, she still has an enduring girl diamond heart.
It is resistant to beating and falling, wear and hard.
Tanrong stopped talking to Linglong and went to tidy up the coat he had just changed. Linglong sat in front of the table and spread a book in front of him. He seemed to be thinking about something. Tanrong hurriedly took a thin shirt and put it on him. He couldn't help saying, "although it's summer, there are so many ice basins in the East Palace, your highness is still careful not to catch cold. It's not good to wear too few clothes."
I looked down and saw that his Highness the prince had kicked away his shoes. Tanrong was helpless. He went to find a pair of clean shoes. As soon as he stepped on his exquisite feet, he suddenly gave a sound and raised his feet. It was very different from the shoes in ordinary days. It was more like the indoor slippers in modern human society.
It's made of silk. It's silky, comfortable and light.
"Doesn't your highness dislike the trouble of always wearing shoes in the east palace? The maidservant wanted to remove the back of the bag, so that his highness could wear it comfortably and conveniently. Next time, don't be barefoot. When the cold enters the soles of your feet, you will get sick. Your highness can't get sick again. Chunyun and Chunyan said that when your highness was young, she was often ill! Now that you have managed to keep your body well, you must be careful. "
The little maid in waiting talks less and quietly on weekdays. Once she opens her mouth, she must keep reading. Linglong feels that her ears are going to cocoon. However, with the kindness of others, she is sincere, and the slippers are really comfortable. He has to act as if he didn't hear it, let the sandalwood velvet talk and continue to read his own books.
Tanrong was satisfied and finally gave Linglong a pot of fruit tea.
Her family runs a wonton stall. Both her parents have good skills, and she has learned a lot. On weekdays, when her highness goes to court, she will study some food in the east palace. Although the tea is good, it is not suitable for the weak prince. Sandalwood velvet racked his brains to carve out fruit tea, milk tea and other things. His highness likes it very much. It can be seen that his highness prefers sweet tea to tea.
Fortunately, when she was at home, her brother taught her how to read and write, which made her very competitive among the palace maids, so she had the opportunity to be elected to the east palace.
There are not many libraries near the east palace. Tanrong doesn't want to be the number one female scholar. She is not interested in those Scripture and strategy theories. She only studies eating and innovates from the ancient food list. Coupled with her dexterity, she is gradually valued by Linglong. It can be said that now her position around Linglong is almost the same as that of Chunyun Chunyan, who has served Linglong for more than ten years, Tanrong is modest and gentle. Chunyun and Chunyan get along well with her. No one speaks ill of her except the little prince who always dies in the east palace.
Linglong took a sip of sour and sweet fruit tea and couldn't help looking at sandalwood.
There are many people around him, many of whom can't call their names, but the little maid named tanrong is bold, careful and sincere. He didn't open the back door at all. They all tried to climb up by themselves. At the beginning, it was to annoy queen Cen and deliberately promoted tanrong as a Grand maid. Now Linglong is beginning to rejoice. Although Chunyun Chunyan and the small cover are also very clever, But it's still a lot worse than sandalwood.
Sandalwood velvet is naturally more aura than others. In addition, its soul is pure and has no bad heart. Linglong is also very relieved to use it.
Fortunately, most of the palace people around him are honest and have no intrigues. Linglong is very tired of the dirty air. Whenever he feels it, he is bound to drive people out of the east palace. In fact, he can say that there are 11000 good things in tanrong. In fact, it is not the same: The Little Palace girl is dexterous and can cook delicious food.
This alone is enough for her to become a red man around the crown prince.
Xiaogai, who served the exquisite eunuch, was jealous and sour. In the past, although there were four big maids and sisters, he still had to take a share of your Highness's daily life. As a result, when the tanrong came, he only had to run errands for your highness... Xiaogai felt that if the tanrong was not a woman, your highness might abandon himself and take her with him when he went to the court!
However, xiaogai's hostility to sandalwood has remained for three or four days. Who calls sandalwood really too good at being a man and too considerate and gentle? So that now the little lid has cried sweetly one by one. She didn't start thinking carefully anymore.
In fact, he is several years older than tanrong. Shortly after Linglong was born, he was transferred by fan Sanbing to serve in the east palace. Xiaogai recognized fan Sanbing as a godfather and was smart when he was young. Tanrong is only 15 this year! However, this does not affect xiaogai's sister. Anyway, he has a baby face that smiles at people. No one will think he is pretending to be tender.
As time goes by, summer has passed, and early autumn comes, chrysanthemums are in full bloom and golden everywhere in the imperial garden. There is a special taste of "trees are in autumn, and mountains are only shining". At the same time, the autumn palace will also begin. This year, his royal highness the prince was appointed as the main examiner by the sage. He was promoted to be an imperial Fu Shangguan, Yuan Ping, the Minister of rites, and Xiao Wenli, the master of Hanlin Academy.
This is the first time that the crown prince presides over the scientific examination. All officials have no objection, and several important officials also try their best to help. However, Linglong is busy and often returns to the East Palace very late. Tanrong often lights up and waits until late at night, and becomes more and more worried.
She has something... She wants to remind her royal highness, but she doesn't know how to speak, so as not to make her highness suspicious.
Chunyun Chunyan saw that she worked so hard every day. When she wanted to change shifts with her, she was declined by tanrong. She didn't feel hard. Your highness slept very late every day. If you really want to say hard, your highness would work harder.
On this evening, Linglong looked at the process just presented by the Ministry of rites before the case. Since he took over, he gave several orders from the broadsword library. The most important thing is to improve the examinee's examination environment. He was also a man who used to be an extreme minister by the imperial examination. Naturally, he knows how harsh and crude the examination environment is. It is also common for many students with poor health to die directly. Since he can improve it, Why not?
In this dynasty, literature is more important than martial arts. The Zhenzong emperor obviously pays more attention to civil servants, but Linglong treats all civil servants equally. The military generals in the dynasty are his loyal supporters. When the autumn palace is over, Linglong wants to put forward the "martial arts examination" system. In the future, Linglong will not only want the champion of literature, but also the champion of martial arts.
He consulted all generals on this matter, and the Zhenzong emperor also thought it feasible, so he just had to implement it.
"... your highness?"
Linglong was thinking about something. Someone called him nearby. He answered at will. For a long time, he couldn't wait for someone to speak before he shifted his attention: "what's the matter?"
Tanrong knelt beside the table. When your highness was growing up, she was often hungry. She used to prepare supper and soup before your highness came back. Linglong liked her intimacy. She picked up a cake and put it into her mouth. After a long time, she stopped curiously: "what's the matter? It's not like you today. "
"Your Highness, don't think your servant is stupid. Your servant wants to ask, like Qiuwei, will someone cheat?"
Linglong smiled: "naturally, some people are not afraid of death, but it doesn't matter. If they are found with private things, they will be wiped out of their fame. After three generations, scientific research is not allowed, and normal people won't take risks."
Not to mention going to jail.
Those who can participate in Qiuwei basically have a reputation, that is, they can't pass the exam. They go back to their hometown to open a private school and live as a gentleman. However, if fraud is found, it will affect the whole family. Who can think so?
"Then... Will there be impersonation?" Tanrong asked cautiously, "for example, this person did well in the exam, but found that he failed in the world, not because he was not talented enough, but because he was replaced..."
"What's the matter with you today?" Linglong lost her smile. The girl under the lamp is surprisingly beautiful. She is not as dignified and calm as usual. She is a little flustered and uneasy. She has a unique style. In the past, sandalwood velvet was always careful and steady, no worse than spring clouds and spring smoke. On the contrary, people forget that she is a little girl of only 15. Her calm temperament and naive and charming appearance blend wonderfully, It makes her stand out among the beauties“ So concerned about Qiuwei? Is it someone in the family who wants to take the exam? "
"Your Highness is right." Maybe it was Linglong's words that gave tanrong a hint. She quickly sorted out her words in her heart and showed a worried look on her face. "My brother in my house is going to end this year. It is because I asked so many questions and asked your Highness for forgiveness."
Linglong looked at the sandalwood velvet and said, "is your brother born like you?"
Tanrong thought: "... It should be somewhat similar."
He laughed, went back to look, and said carelessly, "don't worry. It's ok if you don't do the two things you're worried about. Whoever dares to stretch out his hand, I'll chop his claw."
After that, the little maid in waiting didn't respond for a long time, Linglong looked at her again, but she looked like a lost soul, "sandalwood?"
"Ah? Your highness? What's your Highness's order? "
Linglong reached out and pinched her chin and looked around: "what are you thinking?"
She blushed and dared not break free. Afraid of disrespect to Her Highness, she had to look up and listen to Her Highness say, "look carefully, you are still very beautiful."
Is this a molestation? This is definitely flirting?!
But your Highness's tone and expression were so serious that sandalwood velvet didn't know what to do. His face became more and more red. Linglong appreciated the perfect person, loosened his hand, closed the fold on the case, put it to the side, and stretched his waist: "prepare water."
Tanrong hurriedly got up to call people. Her heart was still popping. She stood outside. It was cool in the early autumn night. Take a deep breath. Her internal organs were full of cool. It was calm. Then she patted her face with both hands to quickly fade the hot on her face, and then turned back into the east palace.
Your highness is very casual about her words. It's understandable that she doesn't believe them. After all, she has no basis and no evidence. She casually says that something will happen to Qiuwei. Your highness should not believe it. How can she make your Highness believe it? If something happens to Qiuwei, your Highness's reputation in the hearts of scholars will certainly drop a lot, and her brother... She doesn't want to happen in her previous life.
If it can be avoided, it is better to avoid it. Although she resents the Duke of Cen state and wants the cen family to have no children and grandchildren, tanrong is unwilling to trade Her Highness's reputation for her brother's future.
She is very sad here. Your highness is so smart. She said whether the fairy could dream?
Little did Linglong believe her at all.
The taste of sandalwood velvet soul is different from that of ordinary people. There must be an adventure. She hesitated to ask Qiuwei whether she would cheat and impersonate. It sounds like ignorance, but there must be something.
Not all of these two things happened, but one of them must be true, that is, I don't know whether the fraud is true or the fake name is true.
The former is easy to solve. Strengthen the body search before the examination. If the examination questions are leaked, prepare two papers, one for use and one for standby. There is no need to guard against them. Just lead you into the urn and pull out those malignant tumors at one time. As for impersonation... It is another matter.
First of all, the person to be replaced must be a poor student. When he declines, he will be deceived. The person to be replaced must have come from a noble family. Otherwise, where does he come from?
As for who it will be... Ah, if he remembers correctly, someone will come to the autumn Palace this year in Cen state, his good mother's family.
Tanrong thinks she's hiding well, but if she doesn't secretly hostile to empress Cen, or doesn't always hint that empress CEN is plotting against him, he won't think about the cen family.
Duke Cen... It's time for silence after decades of publicity.
