Lu Chen poured a bowl of tea for Gu Chengyu, and then drank it by himself. The driver drove the carriage smoothly, and there was no bump in the tea on the carriage.
Gu Chengyu took it but didn't drink it. He had to explain where he was going, right? Looking at Lu Chen's situation, he must be going to an unusual place.
"Brother Lu, where are you going? At least let me know." Gu Chengyu looked at Lu Chen and said seriously.
Lu Chen put down the tea bowl and smiled, "You will know when you go there. Your word cards have fascinated my friend and he has been studying it for several days. I will invite you over today. You must have a lot to say.
"
Gu Chengyu was a little surprised. Isn't Lu Chen's friend the fourth prince? Is he going to take him to the fourth prince's mansion? No wonder he is asked to get on the carriage of the prince's mansion. The palace examination is about to take place. If he is seen entering and leaving the fourth prince's mansion, he will inevitably get angry again.
Right and wrong.
Now that he knew who it was, he was no longer curious. He picked up the tea bowl on the table and took a sip. He just smelled the aroma of tea. Such a rich aroma made it difficult for someone like her who was used to drinking good tea.
I can't help but want to take a sip.
Lu Chen saw that Gu Chengyu didn't even ask, and knew that Gu Chengyu might have guessed it. How could there be any secrets in this capital?
Looking at Gu Chengyu's slender white hands holding the tea bowl, he couldn't help but wonder why some men's hands were so beautiful? His skin was also as white as jade, so why did he look so like a woman?
Thinking this in his mind, Lu Chen blurted out, "You are not a woman, are you?"
Gu Chengyu just took a sip of tea and almost spit it out. He thought that if he had said this to him in his previous life, he would definitely not be able to beat him to death. But now he is a real man, is Lu Chen lame?
Gu Chengyu put the tea bowl in his hand on the small table angrily and rolled his eyes at Lu Chen, "Where did you start talking about this? I look like a woman?"
He is fourteen this year, but he is quite tall. He is as tall as 1.75 meters in his previous life. He has never seen such a tall woman in the Dayan Dynasty, and there are not many men.
Lu Chen also felt that this was a stupid question. Gu Chengyu was indeed a man, but he had a male-female appearance. If it weren't for those sword eyebrows, this would be the face of a woman! Especially those peach blossom eyes and the one between the eyebrows.
A small red mole.
Lu Chen thought Gu Chengyu was a little angry, so he hurriedly apologized, "Ahem! Just for fun."
Gu Chengyu ignored him, but raised the curtains and looked at the scenery outside. He saw that the carriage was gradually driving towards the east city, and the places passing by were getting quieter and quieter. Even the houses were connected together. This was much worse than when Gu Chengyu saw it.
The five-in-one house is quite big.
The houses on the fifth floor are all longer in depth, but the house here actually opens up the neighboring houses and is also extended horizontally.
It seems that we have arrived in Dongcheng. The people here are high-ranking officials or princes and princesses who have already opened their mansions.
The house here occupies a very large area, and it is said that Xia Qing, the first assistant, lives in this area. Gu Chengyu is a little strange, how come his teacher lives in Beicheng? The house was given by the emperor, why was it not given in Dongcheng? However, maybe Dongcheng
Isn't the house in the house relatively in demand?
After passing this house, the carriage continued to drive forward. Gu Chengyu realized that not every house was that big. Some were similar to the houses in Beicheng. After all, there were fewer big ones.
Gu Chengyu watched for a while and felt a little tired. Why haven't he arrived yet? This East City is really big, but this also indirectly shows that the Fourth Prince's Mansion has reached the edge of East City.
Judging from the fact that the fourth prince is not favored, this is normal, not to mention that the fourth prince's health is not good, which can be called rest.
Lu Chen felt a little quiet in the carriage, so he talked to Gu Chengyu about the fourth prince.
"He is in poor health and has been recuperating in the mansion. There are not many servants in the mansion, so he has driven them back to the palace. There are only some personal servants and some sweepers left. The mansion is relatively deserted, but it is comfortable.
"
Lu Chen didn't care whether Gu Chengyu was listening or not, he just said to himself: "You will know when you meet him. His talent and strategy are not inferior to anyone else, only his body."
The fourth prince had never hidden anything from him, so he would not hide anything from him. Of course, they never mentioned the matter of the eldest prince and eldest brother. The fourth prince had never asked, and he had tacitly agreed
Did not mention.
In Lu Chen's heart, this is friendship without interests! But the fourth prince is not a simple person, Gu Chengyu can be sure.
He didn't know whether he took advantage of Lu Chen. After all, he didn't know how the two of them got along. Maybe they really didn't mention the court affairs?
The carriage stopped, and Gu Chengyu hurriedly looked out of the carriage. When he looked up, he saw the plaque above the mansion, which read "Prince Jing's Mansion".
The current emperor has been delaying in establishing a prince or naming him a king, and there has been a lot of discussion in the court. The princes have already lost their crowns, and they have come out to open a mansion to live in. It is really embarrassing to live like this without making them a king.
However, the emperor insisted on going his own way, and even if the courtiers objected, it would be in vain.
The carriage only stopped for a moment and then hurried forward. Gu Chengyu knew that even if the fourth prince was no longer favored, Prince Jing's palace would not be small. If the carriage did not drive in, he would have to walk up to the flower hall in the outer courtyard to burn a stick of incense.
After the carriage had traveled for about half a stick of incense, Gu Chengyu calculated that he was probably not going to the outer courtyard, but to the inner courtyard. Prince Jing had not yet gotten married, so he was afraid that there would only be a few concubines or concubines in the palace.
Jade Disk doesn't even have a concubine.
Gu Chengyu felt that in Prince Jing's situation, it would be better to join an ordinary market family, and even he sympathized with Prince Jing.
The fourth prince was crowned two years ago and should be called Prince Jing now. However, the emperor thought that Prince Jing was not in good health, so he stayed in the capital for a few years and waited until he got better before moving to the fiefdom.
Gu Chengyu felt that it might be a long time coming in the next few years, but it may or may not be in Prince Jing's wish.
Gu Chengyu had heard rumors before that after the palace examination, he might have to establish a prince. Why is it possible? Because the officials were already angry. Originally, when the princes came of age, they had to establish princes, and then give other princes the title of king, so that they can
Go to the fiefdom.
After waiting for so many years, the emperor is old and can't wait any longer. Even the first assistant Xia Qing has been cheated, and the emperor may not be able to resist the snowflakes of cheats from his ministers this time.
Things are about to change in Beijing!
When the carriage stopped, Gu Chengyu put aside all the thoughts in his heart, this was the time.
"My servant Xiao Chengzi has met Mr. Lu." Lu Chen was already a frequent visitor to Prince Jing's Mansion. Xiao Chengzi thought it was Lu Chen who was in the car. There was no one else but Lu Chen who could let the guard at the door directly in.
