12 Chapter 11 Back to the Door
Xiao Chengjun looked at him and couldn't help but sigh.
Emperor Chunde was not confused sometimes, for example, his vision of talents has always been very accurate. Last year, Lou Jingqiu showed off his skills and rewarded him with the Yulin Central Army General without any ambiguity. Therefore, when the empress proposed to Lou Jing as the crown princess, Emperor Chunde was not very happy.
"I have a vague guess, which has not been confirmed yet," Lou Jing put down his arm and returned to the pillow. His voice was a little cold, "You may know in a few days." Since someone wants to plot against him, he must have the awareness of being retaliated against him.
Xiao Chengjun heard the coldness in his words, and no longer had the pleasure of laughter just now, and couldn't help but feel annoyed. He was originally unhappy, which made the Crown Princess sad. He slowly stretched out his hand and tentatively attached the one Lou Jing had on the pillow, "I will help you."
The warm and dry touch brought back the increasingly cold heart. Lou Jing held the hand in his hand, "I will also help Your Highness."
The slender and bright hands were wrapped like warm jade, and Xiao Chengjun's eyes were filled with bitter smile. His crown princess was not loved by his father, so he himself was not the same. "I am now advising my father, but I can no longer directly advise him. I should lure my father to agree like those slander ministers..."
"Your Highness is also the emperor's minister. As long as you can persuade the emperor, it doesn't matter whether you are directly advised," Lou Jing pulled his warm hand to him. "The father is the leader of his son, but he cannot be foolish and filial. From the time when his father handed the punishment staff to the guards, I have understood this principle."
Guard? Xiao Chengjun frowned. It turned out that his injuries were beaten by the guards. No wonder he had not recovered after so long.
Lou Jing looked up and saw His Highness frowning tightly, stretched out his little finger, gently scratched His Highness's palm, and changed into a light tone and teased: "So, when you go back to the door tomorrow, your Highness will just have a cold face. I can also follow His Highness to make a fortune and ask my father to kowtow to me."
"You..." Xiao Chengjun couldn't help but chuckled. When he was teased, his depression just now suddenly dissipated a lot.
Lou Jing held the prince's hand and told him the situation at home in a gentle tone. "I have only two uncles and one aunt in my family, both of whom are from illegitimate families. My aunt married to Jinyang. The two uncles have not yet separated and are both in the Anguo Duke's Mansion. They have no official positions, so I will help my father take care of some common affairs at home..."
Xiao Chengjun listened to the pleasant voice and spoke quietly about family matters. He gradually dispelled the gloom in his heart strangely. He closed his eyes at some point and sank into the sweet and sweet country.
The morning sun shone through the window edges and shone on the bright red curtains. Lou Jing woke up in a daze, feeling that he was sleeping very comfortably and no longer felt aching in his neck. Thanks to the pillow in his arms that supported his body... Wait, the pillow in his arms! Lou Jing woke up suddenly and opened his eyes carefully.
What he was holding in his arms was naturally not a pillow, but Xiao Chengjun, who had extremely regular sleeping conditions. Last night, he unknowingly lay down to the side, and the prince, the closest to him, was naturally pulled into his arms by him!
The body in his arms was long and warm, and it was very comfortable to hold it. Lou Jing was reluctant to let go. At this moment, the sleeping person snorted lightly, and his thick eyelashes began to tremble slightly.
Lou Jing immediately closed his eyes and looked like he was dreaming. Otherwise, the prince would have found that he was awake and he would not move his legs away from him, which would be very disrespectful!
Xiao Chengjun frowned, feeling something pressing against his body, and felt a little uncomfortable. After seeing the situation in front of him clearly, His Royal Highness immediately stiffened. His Crown Prince was lying on him and sleeping soundly, with a slender leg on his legs!
With helpless curling his lips, Xiao Chengjun relaxed and turned his head slightly. The handsome face of the beautiful spring jade was close at hand. He couldn't help but slowly approach and gently touched the corners of his lips.
Lou Jing closed his eyes and felt a soft and warm thing touching his cheek. In the darkness, all the feelings were several times clear. The painting I saw last night suddenly jumped out of the sea of consciousness, and his body felt a little hot.
If you pretend, something happened! Lou Jing had to open his eyes, but he saw that he was a "sleeping" prince, and he couldn't help but curl his lips.
After the two got up, they washed and dressed. No one mentioned what had happened just now, as if nothing had happened.
When Xiao Chengjun saw Lou Jing calling Le Xian to serve the dressing, the two palace maids were just holding plates and combing their hair, and they were very satisfied.
After three days, I will go back to the door and be proud of my own.
The Eastern Palace was surrounded by a furious horse. The prince and the princess were carrying a five-carriage canopy carriage and headed towards the west of the city.
"The court has not been peaceful recently, and I cannot be too luxurious." Sitting in the carriage, Xiao Chengjun said to the crown princess with some disgust.
When the Crown Princess returned to the door, she should have played drums and music, and tuned the Yulin Army to open the way.
When Lou Jing heard this, he laughed, "I am a man, why should I have a show when I go back to the door?"
Xiao Chengjun thought about it and said that for Lou Jing, marrying him was not a glorious thing. If he went back to the door with great fanfare, he would probably make fun of him, but he was not thinking about it.
"I have never been on the five-horse carriage!" Lou Jing smiled and went to see the five pure-colored macaque horses outside the carriage. "These horses are of good quality. I have raised a few good horses in Zhuque Hall. Two of them were brought back from the northwest. Will Your Highness go and see them later?"
"Okay." Xiao Chengjun couldn't help but smile. Fortunately, he married a man and would not care about these pompous things with him when he was keeping his low profile.
Luotangfang to the west of the palace is a mansion built by Taizu during the founding of the country, and the families of Dukes and Martial Arts live in it. Duke An Guo is the only Duke of the country today, and his family is full of honor and favor, so his mansion is naturally more elegant than other houses.
When Duke Anguolou saw Yu and his family waiting outside the gate, he had already been waiting for him. Although the prince did not show any sign of dew on weekdays, he was the prince after all and could not be neglected at all.
The guard riding a horse was neatly stalked, and the apricot yellow canopy carriage stopped in the middle without any hurry. The coachman got out of the car and led the horse, Anshun put the curtains, and leisurely stepped on them. All the movements were flowing and looked pleasing to the eye.
A corner of the apricot yellow robe was first to come out. The prince was wearing apricot yellow prince's regular clothes and a gold-wire white jade crown, and walked out of the carriage calmly. He was noble in temperament and was powerful without anger.
Xiao Chengjun ignored the people standing up, turned to reach out and helped the princess in the car out.
When I returned to the door today, Lou Jing didn't take any medicine to relieve the pain. The people from the Lou family knew that he was injured, so why bother to give face to his father and stepmother? The consequences of what his father did were naturally to bear.
The new aunt is the prince. The family members of my mother have to kneel down and greet him, but if the new aunt has a good temper, she can also avoid this gift. Duke Anguo Lou saw Yu and waited for a while. Seeing that the crown prince had no intention of being rude, he hurriedly led everyone to kneel down and greet him, "I see Yu and bring my mansion to welcome the crown prince's concubine back to the door. Your Highness, the crown prince, has a thousand years of years of thousands of years of thousands of years of thousands of years of thousands of years of thousands of years of thousands of years of thousands of years of thousands of years of thousands of years of thousands of years of thousands of years of thousands of years of thousands of years of thousands of years of thousands of years of thousands of years of thousands of years of thousands of years of thousands of years of thousands of years of thousands of years of thousands of years of thousands of years of thousands of years of thousands of years of thousands of years of thousands of years of thousands of years of thousands of years of thousands of years of thousands of years of thousands of years of thousands of years of thousands of years
"Get up." His Highness the Crown Prince just supported his princess, without any intention of going forward to support his father-in-law. Lou Jing stood beside the prince and watched his father kowtow to him, his heart was very subtle.
When he returned to his parents' house, he needed to entertain guests. The prince's status was too high, and these elders from Duke Dan's Mansion could not be suppressed. Duke An invited several nobles who were in-laws to accompany him. The banquet was divided into two tables for men and women. The man accompanied his son-in-law in the outer courtyard, and the woman accompanied his aunt in the inner courtyard. Lou Jing was a man, so he didn't have to sit at any table.
After worshiping the ancestral hall, Lou Jing returned to Zhuque Hall on the grounds of being unwell.
Seeing Yu agree happily, Lou Jing thought to himself that if Lou Jing sat at the same table with them, something might happen. He smiled and asked the prince to go to the main hall for tea and wait for the meal to start.
"Criminal, you are back!" The servants in Zhuque Hall did not change. Gao Yi took the lead in greeting him. He looked up and saw that Lou Jing was safe and sound. He was very happy.
"You go and call Mr. Cheng." Lou Jing sat down in the main hall of Zhuque Hall, and before he could take a sip of tea, he asked Gao Yi to call his accountant to come.
Zhuquetang has a separate set of accounts. The account manager is actually Lou Jing's adviser, named Cheng Xiuru, who was a scholar who failed. Although he suffered repeated setbacks in the imperial examination, he was a good player in both accounting and making suggestions.
"Criminal, Young Master Ming handed in this morning." Yun Ba floated out of somewhere and handed a folded piece of white paper to Lou Jing.
Lou Jing took it and opened it. The elegant and handsome font was written by Zhao Xi. There was only one sentence written on it, "The wish will be fulfilled on the ninth day of the ninth month, take the lottery first, don't worry."
Caitou? Lou Jing twitched his forehead, "What did he take me?"
"Wash the jade pen on the prince's table," Yun Ba said expressionlessly, "Since Young Master Ming said that the prince forgot to set the lottery, he chose it himself."
"This Zhao Jiu!" Lou Jing was helpless. His jade pen washing was made of a jade carving master carved a whole piece of jade. The bottom was a protruding fish playing lotus pattern. It was like a real pond. The lotus leaves were paved and the fish swamed. That guy Zhao Xi has been thinking about it for a long time.
Lou Jing smiled and threw the note in his hand into the incense burner and burned it. He picked up the teacup and took a sip. A scholar in his forties, wearing a green cloth robe walked in, holding a few books in his hand, "You are back, Prince."
"Mr. Cheng," Lou Jing raised his hand and asked Cheng Xiuru to sit down, "What's wrong with the mansion recently?"
"Madam Zhi asked his subordinates for the account book twice, and they were all excused." Cheng Xiuru sighed. The annual flower use of Zhuquetang comes from Gongzhong, but Lou Jing's private property is only recorded in Zhuquetang's account. No wonder the prince just got married, and Zhima couldn't wait to take over Zhuquetang.
"She is anxious." Lou Jing sneered.
Cheng Xiuru put the account book in his hand on the table, "These are accounts of the wife's dowry. At that time, the prince left in a hurry and did not bring it with him. After a few days, his subordinates asked someone to send the things in the warehouse to the East Palace to you."
These were Lou Jing's mother's dowry. Before he passed by the second wife, he took out this part and took care of it himself. The treasure silver was locked in the warehouse, and the annual income of the land shop was part of the Zhuquetang's input.
Lou Jing lowered his eyes, clicked on the account book with his two fingers, and pushed it to Cheng Xiuru again, "No, you keep all the things, copy these accounts twice, keep one, and send the other to the East Palace. If the wife asks for the Zhuque Hall account, you give this to her."
"The prince means..." Cheng Xiuru couldn't help but sit up straight.
"Don't she want to settle the score?" Lou Jing put one hand on his forehead, tapped his forehead lightly, curling his lips and showing an unfathomable smile, "Then let's do it well with the wife."
Chapter completed!
