When the third prince left the palace, his face was covered with dark clouds, as if it was just before a storm. But when he returned to the palace, the sky was clear and cloudless, and his whole person was filled with cheerfulness and joy from beginning to end. Even if he was not familiar with this person,
The villains of His Highness the Crown Prince cannot see this, but the young people who attend Ciqing Palace will definitely not fail to see this.
Moreover, everyone could clearly feel that the change in the third prince's mood was not due to the meeting with the blond boy in Jiuzhang Hall, but happened after he stayed for a while in Zhang Shouna Academy.
.In other words, after just a brief stay over a cup of tea, all the dark clouds that originally enveloped His Royal Highness disappeared.
It can be seen from this that Zhang Shou, a teacher, probably had a stronger influence on the prince than all the other lecturers and readers in the East Palace put together.
And after returning to Ciqing Palace, a certain East Palace attendant who had a reputation for rhetoric was given a completely unexpected task - drafting a memorial for the prince.
The content of the memorial is a bit unexpected, because the prince asked four translators of Western Yi characters to attend Jiuzhang Hall to familiarize themselves with various arithmetic knowledge, so that they can assist in the translation of those arithmetic classics in the future. In addition, in Guangzhou and other cities,
In the place where the company is located, talented and intelligent people are selected to serve as on-board translators and learn foreign languages in case of emergencies.
However, this was a very formal petition, so the attendant who accepted the assignment did not even think about how far he had stayed away from sutra calculations in the past, and what kind of repercussions this incident would cause in the court. He only knew that the prince's
It was an extraordinary honor for me to draft the first letter on my behalf. I immediately agreed with joy and made up my mind to write this beautiful article.
And then, after letting this man go out of the palace with other attendants, the third prince left Lu Sanlang alone. This was a common thing in the past. Everyone knew that Qi Liang and Lu Sanlang were very respected by His Highness the Prince.
, he is often called his confidant by senior brother, so even if he is jealous, he cannot compete with him.
However, just when the little fat man thought that the third prince wanted to tell him something about the blond boy, or that he was questioning Zhang Shou about the familiarity with overseas countries that Zhang Shou showed today, he only met him.
The little prince in front of him did not speak immediately, but hesitated for a long time before raising his head, with a certain determination in his eyes.
"Senior Brother Lu, I hope you can do me a favor. I want to go to Tongzhou without telling my father and, of course, my teacher. I want to see my fourth brother, but I will come back soon. Mr. Chu happens to have something to do and has to leave for a few days, so this
The timing is just right.”
Lu Sanlang suddenly widened his eyes. Does this mean that the third prince wants his help to stage a prince's escape from the palace? You must know that this is not the willful emperor in front of him. This is the emperor who the ministers are full of praise for.
, the wise and calm prince, actually would play this trick?
Even though Little Fatty Lu was always bold, he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive at this time: "It seems that this matter is not easy. When the prince leaves the palace, there are records both inside and outside. What's more, there are lecturers who come to give lectures every day, and there are attendants who accompany him.
..." How can I slip away?
As he said this, Lu Sanlang said in his heart that if there is a way to solve these things, then there is absolutely no way to solve the problem of the safety of the third prince, the crown prince. Even if the Lu family does have many reliable people
Guard, but he has to dare to use it!
If one of these guards is unreliable, he will be killed and his family will be destroyed!
Moreover, it is understandable that the third prince wanted to hide the emperor's secret from the palace when he left the palace to meet the fourth prince. Why did he want to hide it from Zhang Shou? This meant that he had a conflict with Zhang Shou. The third prince had a solemn look on his face when he entered Zhang Shou's academy.
He was in high spirits when he came out, and he noticed it, so this was impossible! How could he come out so refreshed after a conflict?
The third prince saw Lu Sanlang's entanglement and hesitation, and immediately said sincerely: "It's not that I have to hide it from the teacher, but because once the teacher knows about it, he will understand that I haven't seen my fourth brother for a long time, so he will naturally do his best.
Help me arrange it. But I don’t want to tell my father, so if I turn around, he will be blamed by my father.”
Lu Sanlang couldn't help but want to complain. If it was Zhang Shou who arranged this matter, the emperor would definitely go to Zhang Shou if he wanted to find someone to settle accounts. But if it was me, wouldn't the emperor go to me when he wants to find someone to settle accounts? Neither am I.
Someone who specializes in taking the blame!
However, after all, this was a kind of trust from the dignified prince, so although the little fat man felt resentful in his heart, it was hard to say so. And then the third prince said another reason, but it really made his scalp numb.
"Of course, leaving the palace is such a big deal. I planned to hide it from my father, but I have already informed the Queen Mother, and with her permission, I will approach you, Senior Brother Lu. The Queen Mother promised me that sufficient arrangements will be made in advance.
People follow, lest something goes wrong later and innocent people like you will be blamed.”
Seeing that Lu Sanlang was obviously dumbfounded by the Queen Mother's participation, the Third Prince smiled shyly, and then said in a low voice: "Also, although I don't plan to tell the teacher, the Queen Mother said that she will tell Sister Yingying, and Sister Yingying will definitely do the same.
Will help me."
Uh... With the Queen Mother and Zhu Ying, two super powerful women, do you still need his insignificant helper? Or, why do you have to hide it from the emperor and Zhang Shou? The more Lu Sanlang thought about it, the more confused he became.
, in the end he couldn't help but asked with a serious face: "Why?"
Although he could pretend to ask why and why, the third prince did not hesitate much and said bluntly: "Because I want to have a good talk with my fourth brother, and such a talk before he returns to the palace will be more difficult than him."
I have to come well after I return to the palace. I don’t want my father to know because my father has been in a bad mood for the past two days. I want to let him know after the incident."
What the hell kind of idea is this? Isn’t it best not to let the emperor know about it? Why let him know after it happens?
The more Lu Sanlang thought about it, the more inappropriate it became, and the more he thought about it, the more he muttered. But the third prince looked as if he had eaten the weight and became determined. There was also the Queen Mother behind him. After thinking over and over again, he finally said carefully: "
Then, since His Highness the Crown Prince has discussed with the Queen Mother, how he plans to leave the palace, how can I help him? Also, no one except the teacher knows where the fourth prince is, right?"
The third prince smiled shyly, and then whispered: "Because Miss Ye went to judge the fourth brother and Zhang Chen, the head of Hailing County made a fuss at home to visit her, and Uncle Wang had to send people to investigate, so he
Just tell me and I will know. As for how you can help me..."
The young Crown Prince stared at Lu Sanlang and smiled, and finally stepped forward and whispered a few words in someone's ear. In an instant, the face of Little Fatty Lu, who had always claimed to be fearless, turned red.
Turning from green to white, and finally looking at the third prince's eyes, it was like looking at a ghost.
Are you sure you want to do this? It's better to talk to the emperor. Maybe the emperor will agree directly!
However, the words that Lu Sanlang thought about in his mind for several times ended up being choked in his throat because of the third prince's whisper: "The Queen Mother said that my father skipped classes when he was a child, ran away from home, climbed over walls, eavesdropped... all kinds of things
I can do anything with my little tricks, but in comparison, I'm really too honest. Since I'm still young, it wouldn't be a bad idea to give it a try."
"Even if someone finds out, all they have to do is say that I am young and ignorant. The Queen Mother said that if you are young and not frivolous, you will have no chance in the future."
When Lu Sanlang left Ciqing Palace, although he was not devastated, if you were familiar with him, you would know from his calm to numb eyes that the little fat man was greatly shocked.
How could the Queen Mother, who has always been regarded as a hero among women by the courtiers, make such outrageous suggestions to the Third Prince? The Third Prince was not fooling him, right? But that was the Crown Prince, not the Fourth Prince, a deceitful brat... God
Well, it is really not a good thing to be trusted too much by the Prince of the East Palace. He should stay away next time!
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was infected with a slight cold. When several Eastern Palace lecturers heard the news, their first reaction was that they might have a few days of leisure. However, what the messenger in the palace said surprised them, because that
It was said that the Queen Mother was worried about her grandson, so she asked the Prince to temporarily stay in Qingning Palace for a few days to recuperate, but... the classes at Ciqing Palace remained as usual!
The importance of not suspending classes when sick is of great importance. So much so that Chief Yue Shan, who was the first to go to Ciqing Palace to teach after hearing the news, couldn't help himself when he saw the pale-faced third prince who was energetic.
He reminded: "His Royal Highness is good at being diligent and studious, but his health is important. If he is not able to do it, please don't hold on."
"I understand, thank you Mr. Yue."
The third prince saluted gratefully, and then suddenly coughed violently several times. Seeing Yue Shanchang frowning, he quickly drank two sips of tea to moisten his throat after coughing, and then said: "Brother Lu, please help move a screen.
Mr. Yue and I are separated to prevent Mr. Yue from feeling uncomfortable when I am sick in winter. Then I move my desk and chair behind the screen."
Although the third prince was only called Lu Sanlang, the other attendants would not let Lu Sanlang work alone. At that moment, they had to rush forward to help, and the food was all done in a short time.
Chief Yue Shan watched the whole process with dumbfounded eyes as everyone was busy. When the third prince actually moved to take a seat behind the screen, although he felt that this was a bit too forced, after thinking about it, he still finished the day's class as planned.
After one day of class, it was the second day, and the third day... the lecturers changed circles, and even Zhang Shou, who came to give lectures, was shocked by the third prince's sudden cold and cough. Not to mention the current situation.
In these days, even in future generations, colds and fevers can sometimes kill people. How could he not worry?
Although it was not enough to blame the patient, he still ended the lecture early and repeatedly reminded the third prince to get more rest and not to hold on. And precisely because he was too worried about the sudden cold of the third prince, his attention
All the power was on the third prince, and he didn't see Lu Sanlang looking at him eagerly from the side.
In the past few days, the huge group of lecturers in the East Palace had taken turns and accepted the fact that the third prince continued to attend classes despite being sick. When everyone in the court was praising the prince for being wise and studious, they themselves regarded the third prince as a teacher.
The emperor who stayed in Qingning Palace to accompany the empress dowager was as agitated as a trapped animal. He could only stay for one day, so why didn't the empress dowager let him back?
In the past, he had two little sons by his side, Cheng Huan. Even if they later went to Ciqing Palace to study, at least they would come back at night to talk to him, and he could still amuse them for a while. Even if the fourth prince, that naughty boy, didn't
He ran away from home sensibly. At least he still had a prince who knew him well, but now it's better...
He had already lost two sons, but he had no son beside him! The fourth prince stayed outside the palace and never came back. The third prince, who had always been very obedient, not only lived in Qingning Palace, but also refused to rest even when he was ill. He didn't say anything about being sick in class, and the Empress Dowager of Qingning Palace sent someone to pick him up as soon as get out of class was over. He was so angry that he almost wanted to stop him halfway!
Hua Qi was gone and Chu Kuan was gone, leaving Chen Yongshou alone to bear the thunder. Chen Yongshou was really tormented by the emperor who was so angry that he was looking for people to send hair. However, Concubine Yu, who was very good at persuading the emperor, was having an abortion, and it was said that she was in labor.
It is very likely that years ago, Princess Yongping was tossing the girls' school with Zhu Ying outside. The imperial concubine had been idle for eight lifetimes. As for the other concubines...
Including the fourth prince’s biological mother, Concubine Jiang, no one can be counted on!
Therefore, even though he himself was very afraid of being angered by the emperor, he still had to work hard without complaint, trying his best to hide everything outside, for fear that the emperor, who was already bad-tempered, would suddenly explode. Until this day, he sent
A little chamberlain who had been spying on Ci Qing Palace came back and reported the news. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mentioned that the first game at the Banshan Hall of the Public School was about to begin.
As the steward of Qianqing Palace, Chen Yongshou remembered that he had heard the emperor talk about this matter, and his heart suddenly moved.
He knew that the emperor had been trapped like a beast for several days, and there was no place to rescue him. Someone in the Qianqing Palace would definitely be unlucky next, and even in the court, someone might be in trouble, so he rushed to the emperor without hesitation.
before.
"Oh, have those little guys finally started?"
The emperor lazily stroked his mustache. Although it really didn't arouse much interest, it was better than continuing to walk around in the palace. Therefore, after changing into casual clothes, the emperor, who often walked out of the palace, prepared to
He left the palace. But at this moment, news came from Qingning Palace.
"Yingying came in person to pick up the Queen Mother and go to the Women's School to watch the fun?" The emperor just frowned, and finally laughed angrily, "Since Yingying has told me a long time ago, it is rare for the Queen Mother to leave the palace to relax, then
Go!"
The young eunuch who came to report hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "They also said that they would go to Ciqing Palace to visit..."
When he thought of the third prince, the emperor's face immediately darkened. Before anyone could finish what he said, he waved his sleeves and said: "Just go, you don't need to report this trivial matter to me! Okay, the big things will wait until I get back.
Let's talk about the palace, prepare the horses, call everyone, I want to go out of the palace to watch the excitement... No, it's just to relax!"
