The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 251 illegitimate life (two more)

After receiving Qin Chuyu, the Crown Princess did not return to the palace immediately, but took Qin Chuyu to Xuanping Marquis Mansion.

It is not convenient for her to go to the Hou Mansion, but Qin Chuyu is the nephew of Xuanping Hou, so he went to visit Xuanping Hou.

It's just unfortunate that the Marquis of Xuanping is not in the mansion today.

He and the emperor and the old marquis were secretly engaged in affairs again.

The crown princess fluttered, but she was not discouraged. Steward Liu was in the house. He was the confidant of Xuanping Hou. He had been running for Xuanping Hou in the past few years, and was called back by Xuanping Hou only last year.

If anyone knows the affairs of the Marquis of Xuanping like the back of the hand, it is very Jing and Liu Guanshi.

Qin Chuyu was eating on the carriage and enjoyed it.

"My hairpin seems to have fallen off. I'll go down and look for it."

"Do you want me to look for it with you?"

"No." The princess smiled gently.

Qin Chuyu snorted and continued to eat.

The Crown Princess got off the carriage, came to another carriage, and saw Steward Liu who was waiting here.

She no longer went around in circles with Guanshi Liu, and said bluntly, "Does Lord Hou know a child named Jingkong?"

"Clearance?" Manager Liu felt that the name sounded familiar.

The Crown Princess continued, "Students from the Prodigy Class of Guozijian, four years old this year, are friends with His Highness the Seventh."

Guanshi Liu said: "Ah, I remembered." But it was not because of His Highness the Seventh Highness, but because of the student in the prodigy class of the Imperial College. Isn't this the brother-in-law of the young master's family?

Steward Liu asked, "Is the Crown Princess here to inquire about that child?"

The Crown Princess looked at Steward Liu for a moment: "There is someone next to him who looks very similar to the little Marquis, do you know about this?"

"Have you seen him?" Steward Liu was very surprised, but he was not too surprised when he thought about it carefully. The young master was studying in the Imperial College, and His Royal Highness was also studying in the Imperial College. Can you meet the young master?

"Who is he?" the princess asked.

Steward Liu hesitated for a while, but still told the truth: "He is the illegitimate son of Lord Hou."

A look of surprise flashed across the crown princess' eyes: "Bastard?"

Guanshi Liu sighed, "Yes, didn't Lord Hou go to the south of the Yangtze River to control the water for one year? That year, Lord Hou favored a woman in Song County, and the young master was their child."

The Crown Princess said thoughtfully, "I never heard the Hou Ye mention it before.

"

Steward Liu sighed again: "Master Hou also knew that soon, Master Hou recalled Xiao to the capital to let Xiao go to investigate the whereabouts of Young Master. However, Young Master seems to have misunderstood Master Hou, thinking that Master Hou abandoned him at first. They are mother and son, so they have been reluctant to recognize Hou Ye. Just listen to this matter, but don't say it. "

The Crown Princess paused and nodded: "I see, I will keep it a secret for the Marquis."

It's not a glorious thing after all.

The Crown Princess didn't say anything, and turned around and got into the carriage.

Is it so similar because they are brothers?

But why does it always feel like something is wrong?

The crown princess took Qin Chuyu back to the palace, and just after arriving at the gate of the palace, she met the prince who had returned from the Ministry of Rites.

The negotiation between Liang State and Zhao State was very successful. The emperor and ministers believed that many of the princes and concubines were credited. They entertained Liang's envoys very well, and there were no more mistakes such as burning painting boats. The emperor vigorously The couple was commended, and the prince and the Ministry of Rites co-hosted the palace examination.

The Crown Prince was in high spirits. He went to the Ministry of Rites to study whenever he had time these days.

I was just praised by the Minister of Rites today, and I was in a good mood. I saw the Crown Princess and Qin Chuyu open the curtains of their carriage and said to them, "Linlang, let the seventh brother go back to the East Palace, and you will come with me out of the palace. "

"I'm going too!" Qin Chuyu instantly felt that the dessert in his hand was not fragrant.

The prince said, "Go back and do your homework!"

Qin Chuyu's small mouth was deflated.

The Crown Princess gently comforted: "You do your homework first, and I'll bring you back with sweet-scented osmanthus cake in the evening."

There are also sweet-scented osmanthus cakes in the palace. Qin Chuyu can get tired of eating the ones in the palace, and it always feels more fragrant outside.

Qin Chuyu said slowly: "Well, remember to come back early."

Qin Chuyu was taken back to the East Palace by the palace servants, and the crown prince got into the prince's carriage.

The prince's travels are very low-key now. The carriage doesn't look big, only two horses are used, but the inside of the carriage is very luxurious.

The prince held the prince's hand and said with a smile, "Did Linlang forget what day is today?"

"Ah..." The Crown Princess was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and smiled, "How could the concubine forget such an important day? Ten years ago today, His Highness and the concubine met in the Zuiyun Building. Years old, Crown Prince thirteen. Every year on this day, His Highness will take his concubines to Zuiyunlou once."

The prince squeezed her hand: "When I saw you for the first time, I felt that you would definitely be a princess in the future!"

The Crown Princess smiled slightly, with a shy look.

The prince's eyes were burning and his voice was hoarse: "Gu suddenly regrets taking you out."

The twilight slanted westward, and the sky was a flirtatious orange-red.

The capital in April is no longer so cold, and there is even a hint of warmth in the twilight wind.

Xiao Jingkong was led by Xiao Liulang and walked in the alley with a jump.

Yep, just jumping around.

He seldom gave such a face in front of Xiao Liulang, unless Xiao Liulang was willing to take him to the medical center to find Gu Jiao.

Xiao Jingkong has already taken a bath, changed into dry clothes, and smells good all over! He can give Jiaojiao a hug!

"You're not three years old, can't you be calmer?" Xiao Liulang's hand was pulled and pulled by the little guy, and he was about to pull it off, okay?

Xiao Jingkong spread out his other small hand: "But four years old is not too old! The princess said I was still a baby!"

Xiao Liulang gave him a small look of contempt: You, who are in charge of the air every day, and whether your brother-in-law is the first in the exam, how dare you say such a thing?

Baby?

Xiao Liulang was hit hard.

Xiao Jingkong didn't receive his brother-in-law's little eyes. He was in great interest and sang: "I'm Taishan next door~ Catch the vine of love~ Oooooo~ Don't be afraid of my Rokuro~"

Xiao Liulang's tiger body was shocked!

To shut up! Little monk!

"I want to eat that." Xiao Jingkong suddenly stopped his wonderful singing voice, and pointed to an alley opposite the smell of sesame seeds.

Xiao Liulang said: "It's an alley, if you want to eat, you can do it."

Small Clearance: "..."

Xiaojingkong fried hair and jumped feet: "Don't you smell the aroma? It's Jiaojiao's favorite sesame aroma!"

Gu Jiao likes to eat the jerky made by Xiao Liulang's classmates, and the jerky is also sprinkled with sesame seeds, but Xiao Liulang never smells it. It was only when he walked through the alley that Xiao Liulang smelled a little bit.

He looked at Xiao Qingkong strangely: "Are you a dog nose? So smart?"

Xiao Jingkong snorted: "It's obviously because your nose is not very good!"

Xiao Liulang walked half the street to find the shop that sold sesame cakes.

The corner of Xiao Liulang's mouth twitched, is this also called a bad nose? Dogs can't smell it, can they?

This is a newly opened sesame cake shop. It officially opened on the first day today, and the business is not bad. Xiao Liulang led Xiaojingkong to queue for a while and bought two boxes of newly baked sesame cakes.

Xiao Jingkong counted them carefully and made sure that everyone in the family had one, and Jiaojiao had two, and then she held the box with satisfaction and planned to leave.

As soon as I turned around, I met Xu Congee, who also came to buy sesame cakes.

"clearance!"

"porridge!"

The two children were extremely excited, standing beside the shop, and at the same time, they turned into little trumpeters and chatted with each other.

I don't know what to do with a seven-year-old Douding and a four-year-old Xiao Douding.

Xiao Liulang silently looked at the two little guys who were chatting so hard, for a while he really regretted bringing him out.

Xu Porridge grabbed Xiao Jingkong's hand and pointed to the restaurant diagonally opposite: "That's the restaurant opened by my cousin's house, and my cousin is upstairs! I'll take you to see him! He has always wanted to see you. !"

"Brother-in-law, can I go?" Xiaojingkong stared at Xiao Liulang, asking for help, so he began to act like a spoiled child.

Xiao Liulang took a deep breath and said helplessly, "I'll wait for you here."

Xiao Jingkong handed the box to Xiao Liulang, and was pulled by Xu Congee and ran to the Zuiyun Building diagonally opposite.

Next to the sesame shop is a study. Xiao Liulang is also idle when he is idle. It happens that the ink ingots at home are used up. I plan to buy it tomorrow.

Xiao Liulang entered the study and asked the shopkeeper for ink ingots.

The shopkeeper said: "The best ink ingots are in it, the son can choose by himself."

Xiao Liulang went in to choose Mo Yin.

The room is very narrow, with two rows of shelves, and it is difficult for people to turn around once they enter.

But the ink ingots here are really excellent, Xiao Liulang was very satisfied, he picked a few pieces.

At this moment, the princess hit the door and passed by.

She came to eat with the prince at Zuiyun Building. She smelled the aroma of sesame cakes upstairs, thinking that Qin Chuyu might like it, so she personally came down to pick a box of sesame cakes for him, but when she passed by the study, she saw a familiar one. figure.

She hurried in.

"Madam, may I ask you to buy..."

Before the shopkeeper could finish speaking, the Crown Princess walked over.

After Xiao Liulang finished picking the ink ingot, he was about to turn around and go out when a figure walked in.

The moment the other party came in, the first row of shelves suddenly collapsed, slamming the door shut and blocking it.
