Chapter 86： Exploring the Palace of the Fourth Prince at night

The purpose of Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu returning to Beijing is to attend the 60th birthday banquet of Emperor Tiansheng.

The time for them to come back is not too early or too late. Three days later will be the birthday banquet. At that time, Emperor Tiansheng will receive birthday gifts from various parties on the same day, which is also a good opportunity for various countries to conduct diplomacy.

Although Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu had just returned, they knew exactly what was going on in the DPRK.

According to inquiries, at the luncheon with the ministers, there may be someone who mentioned the matter of Lixin Prince to Emperor Tiansheng, which must be hinting at the establishment of the Fourth Prince, and this matter should not be mentioned explicitly.

Li Mingjin is not busy with socializing now. If he starts to act now, he will definitely be targeted by the fourth prince. For now, the fourth prince is quite embarrassed in front of Emperor Tiansheng, and Emperor Tiansheng still believes in him in important matters. After all, they worked together to solve the crown prince and the Yan family. Emperor Tiansheng couldn't immediately play the trick of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge. After using the fourth prince, he threw him aside. Besides, he couldn't do such a thing now. Also pull it down, unless he can live for another ten years, and then re-train a capable new prince.

The only sons that Emperor Tiansheng can get are the fourth prince and the third prince, and he is fortunate that he still has two good sons.

Although he has other princes who have just come of age, they are not as good as these two in terms of ability and merit, and Emperor Tiansheng will not take them into consideration.

When Li Mingjin didn't go to Gucheng, the "father-son relationship" between Emperor Tiansheng and him was not deep, and at that time there were the eldest prince and the crown prince in front of him, so naturally he had no time to take care of Li Mingjin, nor did he understand his military talents , Today is different from the past. In his eyes, the third child is also very good. Now he is the only candidate he can consider. He is a good seedling.

But these things, Tiansheng Emperor will not mention it to others, the establishment of the reserve is a major event.

In the eyes of the officials below, it is too difficult to speculate on the Holy Will.

Having experienced the incident between the eldest prince and the crown prince, most officials did not dare to stand in line casually, for fear of guessing wrong and the whole family would suffer. Some officials were even afraid of being implicated by the royal affairs. Officer, it's really hard to survive.

The day after Li Mingjin came back, he didn't go to court, so he wasn't in a hurry to express himself.

He listened to Emperor Tiansheng's arrangement and took a day or two of rest at the mansion, and he even wanted to rest for two more days. In the end, it was decided that it would be sooner or later to show his face on the day of Emperor Tiansheng's birthday.

Before coming back, he and Chen Rong discussed the following matters. He had to have a reason to stay in the capital, and he had to operate well. He could do something secretly these days when he was not in court.

Compared with Li Mingjin, who is busy in secret, Luo Shuyu is busy in Mingli.

Before he packed up, he received a lot of invitations to invite him to the banquet, and these official ladies were too hasty.

One of them was from Shen Mingyun. He was actually going to hold a banquet. What kind of banquet was he holding?

The content is very Shen Mingyun's style. It is still the same set he moved from Hyundai. Although it is an invitation card, the theme is the new product launch of a certain product.

If Luo Shuyu hadn't read the novel, he wouldn't even know what this new product launch was. When he arrived at the scene, he would be able to make a joke, and maybe Shen Mingyun would even laugh at him on the spot.

In the end, we still have to go. If we don't go, it will be too disrespectful to Shen Mingyun. The most important thing is that Luo Shuyu needs an opportunity to appear in front of others.

Luo Shuyu replied to a post the next day, telling Shen Mingyun that he would participate in the new product launch conference he would hold soon.

Li Mingjin was "idle" at home and told Luo Shuyu that he didn't want to go, but Luo Shuyu smiled and said: "Your Highness, I have been free in Gucheng for many years, and sooner or later I have to adapt to the atmosphere of the capital, at least at this time I can't do too much. It doesn't conform to common sense, I haven't attended the banquet held by Shen Mingyun, but I want to see what kind of moth he can come up with."

Li Mingjin had seen Shen Mingyun's ability to escape when he was in Gucheng. If Luo Shuyu had not had the insight, all the veterans who had been on the battlefield and had first-rate responses would have been arranged for him, otherwise Shen Mingyun would have been let out long ago, and his daughter would have Maybe they were all swept away by him.

Li Mingjin: "Then pay attention to him. You are not familiar with those ladies. If he takes the opportunity to do something, let's take precautions. Why don't I give you a company of personal guards."

Luo Shuyu couldn't help but give Li Mingjin a roll of eyes: "Your worry is a bit too much. They are all well-mannered ladies. Even if there is a conflict, Qingwang, Mammy and others can handle it. If there are so many people, it's too exaggerated." He still changed the subject, "How about we still consider whether the father's birthday ceremony is enough, it can't be too outstanding, but it can't be inferior."

Li Mingjin: "Don't worry about this, we were all ready when we were in Gucheng, and we won't be too showy. I found out what the fourth child gave."

Luo Shuyu was interested: "What did you give?"

Li Mingjin pinched his chin: "Kiss me and I'll tell you."

After being married for many years, Luo Shuyu didn't eat his suit, slapped his hand away, and took a bite on his fingertip: "Speak or not?"

Li Mingjin didn't feel any pain at all, but his fingertips were itchy. He grabbed Luo Shuyu's waist and said, "A screen embroidered with pictures of fairies playing music."

Luo Shuyu: "Isn't that good?"

Li Mingjin said: "If you saw that picture, you probably wouldn't say anything."

Luo Shuyu: "What? There is a big article here?"

Li Mingjin: "Anyway, I don't know if the fourth child has noticed the face of a fairy, but I think the embroidered face is somewhat similar to that of the empress. If the father doesn't study it carefully, it will be fine, but if he cares, the fourth There is no doubt that he will do bad things with good intentions.”

Luo Shuyu said curiously, "I would like to see what the embroidered screen looks like."

Li Mingjin suddenly made a suggestion: "If you really want to watch it, I'll show you at night, and it may be included in the royal father's internal library after tomorrow." He raised his chin and motioned Luo Shuyu to take the initiative.

Luo Shuyu was moved by what he said, and took the initiative to send a kiss: "I appreciate your kiss."

Li Mingjin: "Thank you, my lord." After eating back the book, we will talk about it.

Compared with Gucheng, the night in the capital is still somewhat different.

Gucheng will give people a bit of desolate taste. In June, Gucheng is not very hot, and quilts must be covered at night. In Beijing, people lie on beds with mats with their windows open, fanning their fans and slowly. Go to sleep slowly.

When Luo Shuyu and Li Mingjin were in Gucheng, when nothing happened at night, Li Mingjin would take Luo Shuyu to visit other people's rooftops.

The first time he went to the roof of someone else's house, Luo Shuyu was quite nervous, for fear that the host would find out and rush Li Mingjin to leave quickly, and he was relieved until Li Mingjin told him that the courtyard was unoccupied; the second time, he was more natural and still Knowing to see if there are any traces of people living in the courtyard, it was very easy, but Li Mingjin told him the horror story of the scholar and the goblin, almost scared to kick Li Mingjin down, but he accidentally kicked the tile, After waking up the host's house, the other party thought it was a thief, so Li Mingjin had to take Luo Shuyu to the east and west to hide, as if being chased and killed, and finally slipped back to their house quietly.

The third time, they jumped on other people's roofs with ease. Luo Shuyu had to make three chapters with Li Mingjin, not allowed to tell horror stories, not allowed to tease him! Li Mingjin did it all. This time they enjoyed the unique night in Gucheng. In the end, Luo Shuyu fell asleep on Li Mingjin's shoulder. Staying up late was really not suitable for him.

Tonight, what they are going to challenge is the fourth prince's mansion. In order to avoid the fourth prince's heavy troops, Li Mingjin asked the dark guard to explore the way in advance, and found the most convenient way to get in.

The screen was not placed in the fourth prince's study, but a room dedicated to storing treasures.

It was night, and Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu put on their special night clothes neatly.

Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu gently landed on the wall of the Fourth Prince's Mansion, and Ansan gave them a secret signal. The safety was two coo, and someone was just coo.

coo.

It's two beeps, it's safe, you can go in.

I have to say that the security of the Fourth Prince's Mansion needs to be strengthened. They bypassed the rockery, the pond, and a corridor. They didn't see a few guards along the way, and they arrived at the place where the screen was placed.

Unlocking is the secret guard's specialty, and with a click, the door opens.

An San whispered: "Master, I'll take care of you outside, you can take a look at it, if you want to move out, I can also arrange for people."

Luo Shuyu: "..." We're just here to have a look, we're not here to be thieves, there's no need to move out.

Li Mingjin kicked the long-winded Ansan out: "You talk too much."

The two lit a candle and found the screen standing in the center of the room. Luo Shuyu exclaimed: "If this picture is not two years old, it will definitely not be embroidered. It is too exquisite. Is this Su embroidery?"

Li Mingjin: "It should be, I look pretty good."

Luo Shuyu: "His Royal Highness only knows meat, and these embroidery techniques are rare." His fingertips touched the embroidered surface lightly, "It's very delicate, I want to keep a screen."

Li Mingjin: "Then we'll find someone to embroider one later. It's better than this one. I always think this is a little bit more petty."

Luo Shuyu: "It's alright, the implication is very good, and I will definitely be the best tomorrow." He held the candle and looked for the face that Li Mingjin said was similar to the queen, just above the left, "His Royal Highness, I found the face you mentioned, It's really similar."

Li Mingjin said proudly: "Yes, I'll say it's very similar. The queen is always angry, very fierce, and not kind at all."

Luo Shuyu was amused by him: "She can't do anything about it, she's too out of touch and doesn't fit the status of the queen. I've finished reading it, let's go back?" He carefully blew out the candle.

Li Mingjin also didn't want to stay in the Fourth Prince's Mansion. He just looked at the treasures in this storage room, and they were not very attractive.

There were three cooing sounds outside, and Li Mingjin hugged Luo Shuyu and hurriedly left the storage room.

The two quickly hid in the rockery outside.

They didn't expect to hear what they shouldn't.

"Fourth Highness, will we be found by the Fourth Prince and Concubine?"

"Afraid of what he will do? As long as you are still in the house, sooner or later, you will be given a name."

"I listened to the Fourth Highness."

"good."

Li Mingjin covered Luo Shuyu's ears and led him back quietly.

Luo Shuyu suddenly realized: It turns out that this is the reason why the security measures of the Fourth Prince's Mansion are not strict.

These four princes appeared to be very affectionate towards Shen Mingyun, but in fact they had already betrayed their feelings.

It seems that their alienation plan is still very successful.

It was just that Shen Mingyun who didn't know the truth suddenly felt a little stupid.

Jumping down from the wall of the Fourth Prince's Mansion, Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu returned to their carriage that was parked not far away.

Luo Shuyu pulled down the black mask on his face and took a deep breath: "It's suffocating me."

Li Mingjin: "Isn't it exciting tonight?"

Luo Shuyu thought he was talking about visiting the Fourth Prince to see paintings, and nodded: "It's exciting, this is the first time I look at the screen like this."

Li Mingjin shook his head, put it in his ear and said, "I mean, should we also try to do different things in other courtyards at night." He didn't care about the fourth prince's betrayal of Shen Mingyun, it was someone else's housework.

Luo Shuyu gave him a big white eye: "..." He refused, there must be a lot of mosquitoes in the summer!

The two ran around outside in the middle of the night, sweating all over, and took a shower together before falling asleep.

There is no stimulation in the wild, but it is also very good in the bath. Li Mingjin is quite satisfied. As for Luo Shuyu, who has already slept sweetly, she dreamed that she was being chased by mosquitoes, because in the dream he was dragged by Li Mingjin outside to make some shyness. dead people.

He hasn't come back for six years, but Luo Shuyu still feels comfortable at home where he has lived for many years.

Butler Sun is loyal to Li Mingjin. They have been away for so many years, and the house has been taken care of as before they left. The flowers are still those flowers and the trees are still those trees. Luo Shuyu, who came back to live for two days, found a familiar feeling.

Home is still the same home, which is different from the temporary settlement of Gucheng.

There was no need for the Queen and Empress Dowager to please, Luo Shuyu slept until she woke up naturally.

Today is Emperor Tiansheng's birthday, Li Mingjin got up early and went to court. At noon is the banquet of Emperor Tiansheng and his courtiers. Emperor Tiansheng will receive gifts from the people and officials, and the evening is the family banquet, when the royal disciples will be there. display moment.

Luo Shuyu sorted out a bunch of special products brought back from Gucheng, and brought these things in by the way when entering the palace in the afternoon. Some were for Concubine Mei and Concubine Wei Xian, and some were for other concubines of Emperor Tiansheng, all of which were gifts.

He heard that Shen Mingyun is quite a man. The rouge and gouache in his shop are sent to the palace by the dozen. The palace concubines like his generosity and are willing to speak for him in front of Emperor Tiansheng. Shen Mingyun used it. They have won the favor of many Tiansheng Emperors.

Besides, Shen Mingyun also has a son and a daughter, and he often brings his son and daughter into the palace to check his presence in front of Emperor Tiansheng. In this regard, he has done a good job, which is probably why the fourth prince can tolerate him so much.

At noon, Luo Shuyu ate alone, and began to feel sleepy after reading a book for a while.

Li Mingjin came back in the afternoon with the smell of alcohol all over. Hearing that Qingwang said that Luo Shuyu was sleeping, he went to the study alone to rest to eliminate the smell of alcohol.

Luo Shuyu didn't wake up until two quarters of Shen Shi's sleep, while Li Mingjin's alcohol smell was almost gone, and he was cleaning his face.

Luo Shuyu asked people to count the gifts to be sent to the palace. The royal family has a large population, and it is really difficult to do everything.

After the two had packed up, they went out.

It was also the first time they had officially entered the palace when they came back. The reception banquet that day was held by Tiansheng Emperor too excitedly. Although it was very hasty, it also showed that Tiansheng Emperor attached great importance to them.

There are many members of the royal family on the way to the palace. Except for the elder Hou Ye, Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu don't have to give way to their cars and enter the palace directly.

Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu went to see Concubine Mei first, and then went to the banquet. Of course, they didn't arrive too early, and the rest of the people had already arrived.

The fourth prince and Shen Mingyun were the ones who arrived later than them. After these two people have been used to being the attention and sought after eyes for more than half a year, they will always get stuck. According to Shen Mingyun, that is the finale appearance. They have Once you have a coffee spot, of course you can't show up too early.

After Emperor Tiansheng personally went to pick up Li Mingjin at the city gate, the fourth prince had some thoughts in his heart. He didn't want to go out late today, but he brought two children with him and urinated a lot. Wanted to arrive early, but ended up being late.

Fortunately, they were stuck in arriving before Tiansheng Emperor appeared.

Luo Shuyu looked at the grandson who could walk by himself. He was carved out of the same mold as the fourth prince. No wonder he liked him so much.

Luo Shuyu just wanted to praise the child for being cute and looking like his father, when the child suddenly said to the fourth prince: "Dad, I want to pee!"

The fourth prince asked his servants to take him to urinate, but the child was reluctant. He clamored for the fourth prince to go, causing the fourth prince to have a headache. He complained in his heart that Shen Mingyun drank so much water for him before going out. How many times did he urinate? .

"Okay, okay, Daddy will take you there, don't make any more noise."

The fourth prince is still a good father, he took the child away, and Shen Mingyun didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.

Luo Shuyu didn't think there was anything, but the ladies next to him started to murmur, this child has made such a fuss Woolen cloth?

"Isn't it bad for the fourth prince to be like this?"

"It doesn't look like a child's father at all. The fourth prince is too kind to him."

"I think, the fourth prince must be looking after the child on weekdays. Otherwise, why would the child stick to him so much? The fourth prince and concubine don't work to get so fat."

Shen Mingyun has a system, his hearing range has always been large, and he was criticized for taking a child to pee. What's wrong with going to the toilet? Is it in your way? Can't my son stick to his father? Can't a man do this?"

Hearing his rebuttal, Luo Shuyu felt that there was no big problem. He was quite reasonable. No one stipulated that children should not stick to their fathers, and there was no regulation that fathers could not urinate children.

His voice was loud and loud, and Luo Shuyu, who was sitting next to him with only Li Mingjin across from him, felt that his ears were going to be deafened.

Originally, Luo Shuyu wanted to support him from this point of view, but who knew what Shen Mingyun said next would make him swallow his thoughts.

Shen Mingyun: "Can you take a look at your own men first, so don't be jealous of others if you don't have the skills."

This Shen Mingyun is the one who overturned a boat with one pole.

One of the ladies who told the little story was also straightforward and replied directly: "Fourth Prince Concubine, we don't mean to be jealous of you, we just think that it might be more appropriate for you to do this."

Shen Mingyun's eyes widened: "Are you teaching me to be a man?"

The straight-tempered lady was so mad at him: "...it doesn't mean that."

Shen Mingyun: "It's not that I want to care about you. Can you not talk about people behind your back? It's not polite."

At this point, the faces of the two little-talking ladies were slightly stiff, and Shen Mingyun said that it was rude, which would greatly affect their character and friendship in the future, and began to wipe away tears on the spot.

Luo Shuyu and Li Mingjin looked at each other, only he was the most suitable at the scene, and he was the only one who came to the rescue: "Today is a happy day, Mingyun, don't be self-willed, hurry up and see if the fourth brother and the little nephew are back? It's just a point. It's just a small matter, there's nothing to worry about."

Shen Mingyun's round face was full of anger, but he always suffered from Luo Shuyu's losses. Over time, he developed the ability to not engage in verbal disputes with Luo Shuyu, and he really never got the upper hand.

Shen Mingyun whispered: "It's not me who talks about people first."

Luo Shuyu whispered: "Then you can't care about others, hurry to see your son, and when the emperor comes over, he will scold you first."

Although Shen Mingyun didn't like Luo Shuyu, his rules were never wrong. He reluctantly listened to him and went out to find the fourth prince and his son first.

After Shen Mingyun left, Luo Shuyu smiled slightly and said to the two ladies, "Fourth Prince Concubine has such a quick temper. He is young and ignorant, so don't take the two ladies to heart." He turned to Qingwang and said, "Go. Give a copy of the special product I brought back from Gucheng to the two ladies, today is the birthday of the father, let's celebrate his birthday well."

The two ladies did not dare to wipe away their tears, and kept thanking Luo Shuyu: "Thank you, Third Prince Concubine."

He did this to appease both parties. It was fair and just. It seemed that Shen Mingyun suffered a little grievance, but he defined Shen Mingyun as young and self-willed, but he did not say that he did not understand etiquette. Give it to the two ladies, and also give them face, and they will not be excluded from interacting with others in the future.

Luo Shuyu certainly hopes that Shen Mingyun will be embarrassed and make everyone think that he is an uneducated and rude person, but he can't do this, he can only let others see his fairness and justice, the way of handling, the two bowls of water are level, leave it good impression.

After this small incident, his good reputation naturally spread among the wives. The back house is a very scary place. Although he doesn't like to play tricks, it is now a last resort.

However, watching Shen Mingyun suffocate, he can also get some fun from it.

Li Mingjin gave Luo Shuyu a thumbs up under the table, and whispered to Luo Shuyu, "Daughter-in-law, you are much better than me."

Luo Shuyu said, "Then Your Highness must learn a little bit."

Li Mingjin: "What do you learn?"

Luo Shuyu: "I will pee and feces for the child in the future."

Li Mingjin who was molested: "..." I still remember what happened last night.

While the two were talking, everyone assumed that what just happened did not happen, and the fourth prince soon returned with Shen Mingyun and his son.

After a while, Emperor Tiansheng brought his concubines to the banquet.

When the feast begins, the first thing to do is to present a gift.

This time, it was not the fourth prince and Shen Mingyun, but Li Mingjin.

Everyone sent gifts such as ancient paintings and ancient paintings according to Emperor Tiansheng's preferences. The screen of the fourth prince was also praised by Emperor Tiansheng. It was probably a little far away, and he couldn't see the beautiful face like the queen. .

At this time, the **** sang: "Three princes are courteous!"

Li Mingjin patted the hem, and went forward to salute Emperor Tiansheng: "Father, the congratulations of the sons and ministers may not be the same as everyone's."

Emperor Tiansheng's eyes lit up, he had been waiting all night.

Looking back on the birthday ceremony in previous years, the third child never let him down.

The author has something to say: Three Princes: Daughter-in-law, today I am the powerful A of the empire, and you are the weak O, you like me and confessed to the strong me, but I refused because I think you are too weak and worthy of not on me.

Luo Shuyu: The morning after you rejected me, I exchanged souls with you, I became you, and you became me. I got the body of my dreams, and you wanted to get my body back, but I rejected you and said I didn't know you. Since then, I have been invincible on the battlefield, victorious in every battle, and an idol all over the planet. And you, you have been an O all your life, and regretted rejecting me very much. However, after there was no war, I was free. In order to see your regretful face, I have been raising you, watching you arrange flowers, cooking, and handicrafts every day. If that is not my body, I still want you to have children. come.

Three princes:! !
