Chapter 238 Comprehensive Extraordinary [VIP]
Coming down from the martial arts field, Ren Jinglei, Pei Tuo and the others, and a group of officers from the Imperial Army's five guards gathered together.
Pei Tuo punched Ren Jinglei in the chest and joked, "Miss Ren, the skill of embroidering legs just now can be sold on the stage."
"Go away." Ren Jinglei laughed and kicked him.
Pei Tuo jumped back and got out of this kick.
"It's Ren Jinglei who played well, Pei Tuo, you still can't do this kind of retractable." Dou Guangxie of the Perak camp next to him smiled. He has been stationed in Beijing for many years and is more informed than the two who just returned from the northern border. : "This young man's status is very precious, in case he is hurt, he can't eat and walk around."
Pei Tuo snorted, "Have you heard that, isn't it the emperor's nephew, can it be as noble as the emperor?"
"Haha, what you said is correct, I'm afraid it's more noble than the prince. I heard that the fifth majesty who had been in a dispute with the concubine Shu when he was a child had a dispute over trivial matters, but the fifth majesty was scolded and punished."
Another officer lowered his voice: "Speaking of which, the fifth highness seems to have contracted the wind and cold because of this punishment, and died of illness."
Ren Jinglei smiled and said: "The emperor cherishes his nephew, I am afraid it is in the face of Princess Xining. I heard that the emperor took special care of his sister when he went to the mansion in his early years." Although he has just returned, the news of the capital is also known.
"Ha, otherwise someone secretly called the little princess. I'm afraid the emperor will treat this as a princess Xining in the reincarnation." Zhao Pingyi of the Shence Camp also came up, showing a thief smile.
Everyone recalled Cui Qian's outstanding appearance. In the next two years, he will definitely be more Yuxue and lovely. It is really appropriate to call the little princess.
A group of people laughed, but an uncomfortable voice came in.
"It's just relying on the domineering stuff of the holy pet, not learning and skillless." An eastern camp officer walked past them and snorted coldly, "It's hard for General Ren to compete with this kind of person. I heard that The Northern Army is good at martial arts and doesn't admire the dignitaries. Now it seems that it's nothing but you."
This is too ugly. Even with Ren Jinglei's smoothness, he didn't even know how to pick it up.
The other party didn't seem to think about him taking the call, turned around and walked away quickly.
Seeing Pei Tuo's expressions of anger, another officer from the Shenbing Camp interrupted and smiled: "Don't pay attention to him, that's from the Shen family. No wonder they have bad weather."
"Shen family, do you mean the prince's natal family?" Ren Jinglei reacted immediately.
"It's his house. Recently, the prince concubine had just eaten it because of this young master Cui, which made the Shen family look unsightly. Each one seemed to have had a firecracker, and was very angry."
"No matter how angry, I dare not go to the righteous man."
Ren Jinglei understood the whole story amidst the laughter of several people.
It turned out that Cui Qian was not only favored by the emperor, but his cousin was also extraordinary. The two ate and lived together in the palace since they were young, and they were extremely friendly.
Half a year ago, the prince had just married the concubine Zheng, the daughter of the nobleman Shen family. Last month, the princess did not know why, she disliked that the princess had been close to the Ruiguo Duke. She was not angry for a moment. After arguing for a few words, the princess immediately shook her face. Did not walk into the courtyard of the princess for more than half a month. That's not a big deal. After the story was heard by the palace, Queen Huo immediately introduced the princess to the palace and reprimanded her for being a famous lady, but she didn't know the etiquette and used her tongue. He was ordered to copy the female ring fifty times on his knees in the small Buddhist hall of the side hall.
The princess took seven or eight days to complete the copy. Kneeling so that her knees were swollen, she cried and returned to the East Palace, only to find that when she was trapped in the palace, the prince again carried the two concubines into the house. She is the daughter of a distinguished family.
In this tumult, the face of the prince princess was almost trampled on the ground. Although the capital's noble circle dare not speak out, everyone secretly uses it as a joke.
Pei Tuo was dull for a long time before he heard the meaning of their words.
He was always bored with the intrigue in these palaces, but what Zhao Pingyi and the others meant before, seemed...as if...that Cui Qian had an extraordinary relationship with the Prince.
The capital is really complicated, unexpectedly... Pei Tuo grinned and didn't say anything.
Ren Jinglei recalled the neat and clear speech and behavior of the man just now, but felt in his heart that these rumors may not be true, but that the man's extremely beautiful appearance, as seen in his life, I am afraid that only my starling can be slightly better. No wonder such rumors spread.
Thinking of Mynah, now I return to the capital and promoted to the army. The situation in the south is getting harder. Do I want to contact the people in the south...
After coming out of the government office, Pei Tuo turned around and asked, "Why don't you speak anymore."
Ren Jinglei contained his thoughts on letting go, and said with a smile: "I just feel that the water in the capital is really deep. I don't know which wave is coming, and the clothes are wet."
Pei Tuo laughed and laughed: "No matter what the waves are, you and my brothers just walk sideways, the big deal is that we will quit our sleeves and go back to the northern border."
"You are a crab." Ren Jinglei glanced at him, too lazy to care about him.
***
After running outside for a day, Cui Qian returned to the palace, it was already dusk.
He first went back to his bedroom to take a shower and freshen up. Two years ago, Emperor Jingyao arranged for him the Minghui Hall at the north end of the East Palace as the bedroom, according to the prince.
Coming out of Minghui Hall, he went to Queen Huo's Fengyi Palace. After passing the small garden on the east side of Xiyue Lake, he had a meal.
A little girl in a pink dress was squatting under a rockery by the lake, not knowing what she was doing.
The familiar figure made him immediately recognize, "Sister XiaoJian, why are you here?"
In the silent dusk, when someone approached suddenly, Huo Youjuan was startled, turned to look around, and whispered, "Brother Qian."
Cui Qian stood up and jumped out of the corridor, and arrived in front of her in a few steps. Seeing the teardrops on Huo Youjuan's cheeks, he immediately became nervous and asked: "Why are you crying here alone, your maid? Is someone bullying you in the Queen's Palace?"
Huo Youjuan stood up, shook his head and said, "No, I just feel uncomfortable in my heart, so I sneaked over here to cry."
Cui Qian has been close to Huo Youjuan since he was a child. The first time saw Sister Youjuan was when she was six years old. The patriarch of the Huo family, the dignified Duke Ying Guo, finally had a daughter who was born in her late 30s. Although not the boy that Mrs. Huo Family and Queen Huo were looking forward to, this child is still the center of attention.
In the midsummer season, Mrs. Tai took the full moon young lady into the palace to greet her. Cui Qian and Prince Qin Cong were all with him.
Cui Qian fell in love with this delicate and soft baby almost from the first sight. He thought of his mother's appearance before her death, and the blue baby girl who was carried by the midwife. That is his sister, if she is lucky enough to survive, she must be so cute.
I also thought that although Huo Youjuan was lucky enough to survive, his mother died shortly after giving birth. The feeling of pity for the same illness made Cui Qian more pity the baby girl.
Queen Huo also likes this little niece very much. It is often said that she goes to the palace to accompany her. Huo Youjuan has been outstanding since she was a child, smart and smart, and can be regarded as childhood sweethearts with Cui Qian and Qin Cong.
At this time, seeing Huo Youjuan crying here alone, Cui Qian was very anxious and quickly asked why.
Huo Youjuan wiped his tears, and said the matter with embarrassment.
"The mung beans I raised before may no longer be there. I feel sad, so I brought the rock that he liked most on his stomach here and buried it in the water. It was a cloak."
The mung bean is a small tortoise raised by Huo Youjuan. It has been raised in a transparent glass tank for almost two years, and he personally changes the water every day. Cui Qian also helped her to gather aquatic plants several times in Xiyue Lake.
"Mung Bean was ill before, isn't it already healed?" Cui Qian was surprised.
"The mung bean is not good, it's just a new turtle." Huo Youjuan whispered. Mung Bean has been sick since last month and has been unable to eat anything, but when she woke up the day before yesterday, she found that Mung Bean had regained her spirit and was as lively as before, even more lively than before. The people in the palace who took care of it laughed and said that this tortoise was really fate, and it must have been blessed by Miss Fukuzawa. But Huo Youjuan understood that the mung bean was gone, and the little tortoise in the glass jar looked exactly the same.
Are girls so sensitive? The appearance of those tortoises can't be distinguished at all! Cui Qian thought endlessly.
"But those sly slaves are really hateful, they dare to deceive the Lord. I will teach them for you when I turn around."
Huo Youjuan hurriedly waved, "Brother Qian, don't blame them, they don't want me to be sad either."
So someone came here secretly to cry, mourning for the mung bean that was thrown into which corner. Cui Qian sighed and handed her a silk kerchief, "Wipe her face first."
In the distance, Queen Huo was walking through the suspended corridor surrounded by a group of court ladies, turning her head inadvertently, and pausing in her footsteps.
A female officer next to her followed, and even though she was far away, she still recognized Cui Qian and Huo Youjuan. The female officer immediately smiled and said, "It's the little grandpa and Miss Huo, they are really cute as a golden girl."
Under the setting sun, the water is turbulent, the rocks are rugged, and the flowers and trees are verdant. In such a beautiful scenery, the young men and women standing opposite each other, one handsome and tall, one slim and beautiful, are pleasing to the eye.
This kind of childhood sweethearts, good friends, and the two have a close relationship since they were young, they are simply a match made in heaven!
The female officials thought they were reasonable. But he didn't notice a trace of haze flashing in Queen Huo's eyes. Especially seeing Cui Qian raising her hand and stroking the top of Huo Youjuan's head, her intimate behavior made her tighten her sleeves uncontrollably.
What are you talking about? So happy...
***
Cui Qian smiled and said, "Everyone is amazing, I can't match it at all."
Huo Youjuan's eyes widened: "No, Brother Qian is already very good at martial arts." In the palace, none of the princes are Cui Qian's opponents, and many elite guards can only draw with him.
What's so strange about being a prince. As for the guards, they all let themselves. After going out of the palace to fight with Ren Jinglei, Cui Qian confirmed this incomparably. "I really have to work hard in the future."
In order to make Huo Youjuan happy, forget about the mung bean. Cui Qian talked to her about the various sceneries in the Five Guards Office of the Forbidden Army and the battle.
Sure enough, Huo Youjuan's attention was attracted, and she was no longer so sad.
The two of them talked all the way, heading to Fengyi Palace.
Entering the main hall, found Queen Huo was waiting for the two.
Huo Youjuan was a little uneasy and quickly pleaded guilty.
Queen Huo smiled, "Why come so late? Where did you go to play together?"
Cui Qian knew that Huo Youjuan didn't want to let him cry secretly, so he rushed to speak: "No, it just happened to happen."
Queen Huo hummed, noncommittal. Not long after, Prince Qin Cong also came from Beginning-of-Creation Palace. There was even more excitement in Fengyi Palace.
A sumptuous dinner was arranged in the side hall, and several people accompanied Queen Huo to dinner.
In the past two years, Queen Huo is getting older and weaker in the palace. Emperor Jingyao visits the palace on the fifteenth day of every month to discuss palace affairs and government affairs.
There are so many beautiful women in the palace, from the former Guo Guifei, later Consort Chen, and later Yufei, now Ding Zhaorong...Queen Huo also looked down on her, she didn't care about grace, she focused on her son.
When eating, the atmosphere was harmonious, and Queen Huo did not restrain them from the rule of not talking, so Cui Qian talked about today's experience enthusiastically, and said that he would invite famous teachers again and practice well.
Qin Cong happily talked to his cousin about the layout of the five guards of the Forbidden Army.
The young man was in high spirits, and Queen Huo looked at him with a smile.
In the days that followed, Cui Qian really got busy. Not only did he take over the military affairs of Pingxi Camp, but because he had a clear understanding of his own martial arts, he began to demand himself with more stringent standards.
As the prince, Qin Cong has long been involved in government affairs, and is busy in the household office every day. Huo Youjuan returned to the Huo Family, and during these days she had less time to enter the palace.
Unexpectedly by Cui Qian, Queen Huo was extremely concerned about his martial arts training, and often called in to inquire about the progress. In fact, she didn't quite understand these, but it did not prevent her from sitting on the throne, smiling as she listened to the young man excitedly talking about all kinds of interesting things about martial arts practice.
"Getting those cheats, I'm afraid there will be less of them." Queen Huo laughed.
Cui Qian said in distress, "This is the way of martial arts in the world. Most people who want to advance by leaps and bounds have troubles, and they are very easy to get into trouble. Just like my new book "Putuo Mi Sutra", it is said to have practiced for one year. You can progress by leaps and bounds within half a load, with deep internal strength, but extremely high demands on your character, and you are careful about your heart and staying true to the waves. If you are not careful, you will get confused.
Queen Huo hid her mouth and smiled: "Isn't that only a monk can do it? No wonder it's a Buddhist technique."
"Even high-ranking monks, it's difficult to do it. In the past, monks in previous dynasties practiced, and most of them went crazy, heart palpitations and death." Cui Qian said of the past in these rivers and lakes. Easy to fall into my hands."
"It's a weird technique." Queen Huo showed a thoughtful look in her eyes, and immediately smiled: "You don't want to try these things."
Speaking of the end, Cui Qian is ready to leave. Queen Huo suddenly smiled and said: "You can show me the secret book of Putuo or something."
Cui Qian was surprised, Queen Huo had never practiced martial arts, so she couldn't understand this kind of thing.
Queen Huo said calmly and calmly: "My palace is just curious, what is the truth of these things in the end."
Of course, Cui Qian couldn't refuse such a simple request, and he didn't need it anyway. After returning, he happily sent someone to give the cheats to Queen Huo, and then the matter was forgotten.
