Chapter 13 4 Prince Invites Master to Stay Overnight
After Laba is the New Year.A few days ago, Nancangming had just passed the completion ceremony, and it was New Year's Eve soon, and people from all walks of life in the palace were very busy.
Lu Chiyuan ordered Bai Ju to bring the return gift prepared a few days ago, and was going to visit him personally.Bai Ju took the order and said: "Master, this servant has prepared a box of century-old ginseng for Concubine Shu, and a copy of "Orchid Pavilion Collection" in regular script."
Lu Chiyuan said: "Leave the "Lanting Collection Preface" to Cangming, and replace it with the East China Sea Night Pearl and send it to the Fourth Prince."
Bai Ju said: "Little master likes to practice master's calligraphy, so he may not necessarily want this "Lanting Collection Preface". The fourth prince has always been elegant and likes to dance and write. This "Lanting Collection Preface" should be more to his liking."
Lu Chiyuan didn't feel that there was anything wrong after hearing this, nodded and said: "In that case, I will do as you said."
Today, Ju Lu Chiyuan was wearing a royal blue brocade shirt with lotus pattern, a dark gray gold belt with lychee pattern tied around his waist, and long hair like clouds on his temples.
Her hair was tied up high with a jade crown, her eyes were shining with dazzling light, her face was handsome, and there was a faint smile on her lips, making her look extraordinarily charming.
Bai Ju was stunned, the master looked like a first-class beauty, no wonder the little master always liked to cling to the master and act like a baby.
Seeing Baiju staring at him, Lu Chiyuan smiled and said, "Baiju, have you seen enough?" Baiju was woken up by Lu Chiyuan, and she lowered her head with a blushing face.
Lu Chiyuan smiled and said, "Let's go!"
Bai Ju followed behind Lu Chiyuan, and Lu Chiyuan asked along the way: "What has Cangming been doing in the past few days besides studying, why is there always no one around?"
Bai Ju said: "A few days ago, the Empress Dowager asked the emperor to bring the Ninth Prince with him during the spring hunting this year, so the young master has been learning riding and archery in the past few days, as well as riding skills."
"The little master only returns to the mansion after dinner every time, and shuts himself in the room when he returns home, so the servants don't know what the little master is doing recently." Bai Ju thought for a while before answering truthfully.
The little master has a bit of a vicious personality, and the servants are not allowed to approach him on weekdays. They really don't know what the little master is doing.
The spring hunt was in March, and there was still time to prepare. In a blink of an eye, he arrived at the fourth prince's Jingren Palace. After the announcement, he went to the inner hall.
Concubine Shu Gui was sitting in the palace, when she saw Lu Chiyuan coming in with a white orange, she said with a smile: "Young master Lu, you are here. This is the first time I have seen you in the palace for so long, it really is Zhilan Yushu, a beautiful talent!
Lu Chiyuan bent slightly and said: "Concubine Shu is absurdly praised, the fourth prince is the one who is dignified and looks like a dragon and a Phoenix."
Concubine Shu smiled and said: "Okay, don't be polite in front of me, come and sit down!"
Bai Ju handed the gift in her hand to Concubine Shu, and said: "Concubine Shu, this is a New Year's gift specially selected by the servants for the fourth prince, please accept it with a smile."
Concubine Shu took the gift and said with a smile: "This child, even if you don't give it to me, I will be happy when it comes!"
After finishing speaking, he looked at Bai Ju again, and said with a smile: "This girl is pretty and lovely, she must not be from the palace."
Bai Ju was shocked when he heard Concubine Shu's words, did Concubine Shu know her details?Or is it just casual talk and temptation?
So he replied respectfully without changing his expression: "Concubine Shu is really insightful. The servants are orphans that the young master picked up by chance when he was traveling abroad. They have been with the young master since childhood."
"Oh? Really? That Yuan'er is really a nostalgic person." Concubine Shu laughed.
The fourth prince asked his servants to serve hot tea and said: "Chi Yuan came here today, and it really made the humble house luxuriant. I heard that the Empress Dowager ordered the ninth brother to participate in the spring hunting?"
Lu Chiyuan smiled and said: "The Empress Dowager ordered the Ninth Prince to participate, out of charity, I hope the Ninth Prince can see the world."
After hearing this, the fourth prince said: "I heard that the ninth brother has been studying hard in the martial arts field for the past few days. It seems that he wants to win the first prize in the spring hunting?"
Lu Chiyuan shook his head and said: "The Ninth Prince is indeed practicing martial arts in the martial arts field, but he is learning riding and archery. The Queen Mother said that the rules of spring hunting are riding and archery competitions. The Ninth Prince only learns it now. Only stupid birds can fly first. Not to your highness."
"However, the Fourth Prince does not need to worry. The Ninth Prince will definitely not steal the limelight from His Highness. The Ninth Prince likes the gift from His Highness very much. He will definitely not be an enemy of His Highness." Lu Chiyuan looked at the Fourth Prince and lied without changing his face.
God knows, Nan Cangming didn't even look at the gift from the fourth prince and threw it in the warehouse.
The fourth prince nodded and said, "It's fine if you like it. I will definitely take care of the ninth brother when Spring Hunting comes. Chi Yuan can just be at ease."
Concubine Shu said wittily: "You young people chat, and I won't bother you to enhance your relationship when I'm tired." After speaking, she let the girl help her down and left.
The fourth prince saw that Concubine Shu was gone, put away his serious expression, and said playfully, "Chi Yuan, why are you coming to see me all of a sudden?"
Lu Chiyuan said: "I just want to discuss cooperation with His Highness Fourth?"
The fourth prince said: "At the beginning you let me go in the matter of court ladies. I am not an ungrateful person, so I will appreciate the kindness. But if the ninth brother wants to fight for that position, we must be enemies."
Lu Chiyuan said: "Even if the empress dowager graciously let His Royal Highness Jiu come out, he has been unknown for the past four or five years and has no foundation in the court. His Royal Highness Ninth Prince's mother and concubine are insane in the cold palace, and their mother's family has been ransacked by the emperor. They are isolated and helpless. How could it be yours?" enemy?"
"Facing the people who are not a threat at all, the Fourth Highness wants to kill them all. What should the emperor think? His Highness the Crown Prince is famous? And it was the Queen Mother who asked the Ninth Highness to go to the spring hunting." Lu Chiyuan said unhurriedly .
The fourth prince said in a deep voice: "You mean that the ninth brother is nothing to be afraid of?"
"Your Highness, I just want to remind you that you are a smart person. The Empress Dowager asked His Highness Ninth Prince to participate in the spring hunting, just to test the emperor's intentions. What benefits can you get from being an enemy of the Queen Mother?" Lu Chiyuan was unpredictable road.
The fourth prince thought about it, the queen mother has indeed been at odds with her father.The gods fight, and the little monsters suffer. I'd better wait and see what happens, and don't meddle in it.
So he said: "Chi Yuan is right. I have been taught today, and they all say that the young man of the Hou's mansion is ignorant and incompetent. It shows that the world is ignorant. Chi Yuan is a crouching dragon and phoenix. If I can use it for me, why not worry about my great career?" .”
Lu Chiyuan smiled and said: "I'm used to idle clouds and wild cranes, and I'm willing to give the poems and books to His Highness the Ninth Highness because he has no one to rely on and is weak and can't pose any threat. I promised His Highness the Crown Prince's entrustment, but I hope to be in this deep palace. There's a place to stand."
The fourth prince smiled and said: "That's good. I also value your talent, so I want to win you over. Since you have no intention of fighting for power, then let it be!"
Lu Chiyuan smiled and said: "Thank you for your compliment, Your Highness and I just want to live, that's all."
The two chatted for a while, and it was getting late. After seeing each other for a few years, they felt that Lu Chiyuan's face was stunning and his temperament was extraordinary.
Looking at Lu Chiyuan, the fourth prince felt a little throbbing in his heart.I remember the first time I saw Lu Chiyuan, I was shocked for a long time by the other party's charming face.
Now that he finds out that Lu Chiyuan is not as dandy as rumored, he is even more happy, thinking that if he is a woman, he will definitely marry him as the princess.It's a pity that he is a man who wanted to be recruited, but he directly refused.
It seems that I still have to slowly cultivate the relationship, no matter what I do, I am better than that useless prince in the cold palace.
So he said: "It's getting late today, it's so cold, or you can rest at my place tonight, and I'll let someone prepare meals."
Lu Chiyuan thought that he hadn't seen Nan Cangming for a long time, he shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kind hospitality, Chiyuan dare not bother you. I will visit you another day."
After saying that, he stood up and said goodbye, Lu Chiyuan walked out of the hall step by step, with a faint smile on his face.
After negotiating the cooperation with the fourth prince, I felt a lot more relaxed, and I was in a really good mood.
The fourth prince watched Lu Chiyuan go away, with a hint of interest in his eyes, and said to himself: "He is an interesting person, the feeling of chasing prey is really interesting!"
