Chapter 33
Chapter 33
School days always go by quickly.
In Fang Xia's impression, he seemed to have just met that poor little fellow who was forced to lie on the ground, but in the blink of an eye, this malnourished little Douding had grown into a handsome young man. Well, it's almost taller than him.
Thinking of this, Fang Xia let out a somewhat complicated, but generally speaking, sigh of relief.
Fang Xia just drifted away... Bah, walking back, he heard a jubilant voice, "Ah Xia, you're back!"
At this moment, Lan You is no longer the cold palace of the past. Although it is still located in a remote place, there are quite a few standards that a prince should have.
This matter should be attributed to Emperor Li.
The Shang Study Room was reopened for more than half a year, the emperor suddenly remembered that he wanted to see his son, so he didn't disturb anyone in advance, and just came straight over with a hand stove and a few eunuchs accompanying him.
Shang study.
The charcoal fire in winter made the room warm, and even a few children who had just come back from a noisy fire had beads of sweat dripping from their noses.But all of this is just in front of the study, and the poor little ones in the back are pale from the cold and can't hold their pens steadily.
They are clearly in the same room, but the world is so clearly separated.
But even so, Fang Xia still heard the little transparent princes next to Xiao Shangqin sigh, "This winter is better" and "It's really warm". After a while, it can be seen that it is hard to bear after going back.
Of course Emperor Li didn't know about this, but he noticed the contrast in the study, and he immediately lost his temper and dealt with many people severely.This behavior seems to be distressing for his son, but as long as the emperor has a little father-son affection for those little transparent sons, they will not be reduced to this point.
In fact, Emperor Li's anger this time has nothing to do with those unfavored sons, he just took advantage of this excuse to rage violently against the prince, "As the crown prince, he only cares about his own enjoyment and doesn't know how to take care of his brothers"" Selfish, cold-hearted and cold-hearted" "How can such a virtue be worthy of being a future monarch?".
These words of considerable weight were slammed down firmly, and the young prince's face turned pale when he said it, and he was a little unsteady on his knees.After that day, I asked for several days of sick leave.After returning home, I lost a lot of weight in my life, but I really started to "take care" of my younger brothers.
But whether it was Emperor Li's outbreak or the prince's care, in the final analysis it had nothing to do with the princes of a few marginal figures, they could be said to be very thorough from beginning to end.Different from the joy and encouragement of the other people, who admired the father and the emperor and were grateful to the prince, although Xiao Shangqin seemed to be acting the same, Fang Xia saw his clenched fist by his side .
This is probably the difference between the Aotian cub and other children - that extraordinarily high self-esteem.
In the final analysis, all these are the treatment they should have, but now they have to rely on other people's handouts to barely get them.After realizing this, of course Xiao Shangqin couldn't be happier.
But although the care from the prince was not distracted and was only superficial, the treatment that the prince deserves is still supplemented, such as Xia Bingdongtan's share, the cloth sent by the Neifu Bureau, etc., although According to Xiao Shangqin's status in the palace, these things are still unavoidable, but since there is a reason to show it openly, there is a lot of room for Fang Xia to manipulate.
In addition to supplies, there are also people who serve.
In this regard, although Fang Xia was a little awkward at first, he thought it was a good thing.
After all, the Lanyou Palace at the beginning was really desolate and desolate, except for Xiao Shangqin, there was no one who could see it. It was like a natural haunted house. If you were a timid person, you would have nightmares if you slept here all night.With the addition of these people who were arranged to come, at least it made the palace more or less popular.
Of course, according to Xiao Shangqin's efficiency in subduing his subordinates, after all these years, those who are still staying in Lanyou Palace are already confidantes.
For example, when Shang Qin said hello, all the surrounding palace servants lowered their eyes and held their breath, and none of them showed any strange expression to the master's behavior of speaking into the air.
When Fang Xia encountered this situation for the first time, he was almost terrified. He pulled Xiao Shangqin's sleeve vigorously to remind him: there is someone next to him!
But at this moment, Fang Xia was able to say "um" very calmly.
Between "cubs are treated as crazy" and "really haunted", Fang Xia still chose the latter.
But he still wants to say that he is really not a ghost!
——Fang·Stubborn·Xiu.
It's just that this time it seems to be different from usual. After he said "hmm", he seemed to hear a small inhalation sound.
Fang Xia looked up suspiciously, but saw that those serving people were still "watching their hearts", as if they hadn't heard anything.
Is he hallucinating?
Fang Xia was still puzzled, so Shang Qin raised his hand and waved for him to back off.
Shang Qin felt that the ghost who had been by his side was a little shy (Fang Xia:?), and he rarely made a sound when outsiders were around.
If Fang Xia knew Shang Qin's thoughts, he might not be able to help but shake the other person's shoulders vigorously, shouting in his ear: Not everyone has your ability to accept!There is an extra voice from the side out of thin air, even if it is in broad daylight, it is very scary, okay? !
On the other hand, as Aotian's younger brother, the palace servants of Lanyou Palace are all well-trained, and they retreat quietly in the past, but this time it is a bit different.
As soon as Shang Qin finished waving, a man fell to his knees with a plop, and kowtowed his head fiercely on the ground, so loudly and loudly that everyone was terrified.
His voice was also heart-piercing, "Your Highness, please forgive me this time! I will never do it again!!"
Fang Xia's eyes were attracted by the kowtowing servant, but he didn't pay attention to Shang Qin's expression that turned cold for a moment, but the people in Lanyou Palace were much more sensitive. There was no time to go up and cover the mouth, and the dragging dragged the person. After a while, the person was gagged.
Shang Qin tapped his knuckles on the table, the sound was especially obvious in the suddenly quiet palace.
The servant holding the man seemed to have understood something, and just brought the man who was already swaying down.
To be honest, Fang Xia was a little uncomfortable with this scene, but he didn't say anything.
One is that he really doesn't know what happened just now, and he doesn't know what the servant did, so he really has no right to speak; moreover, in this environment, some extraordinary measures are still necessary.
Although he was raising cubs, Fang Xia never thought about applying his own set of values to Shang Qin.If that was the case, in this man-eating palace, little Shangqin wouldn't be able to live to be an adult at all.
……
There was a moment of silence in the hall, and it was Shang Qin who first explained: "That person, he belongs to the prince."
Fang Xia didn't mean to ask Shang Qin to explain to him.
After all, according to Aotian's self-growth ability, Fang Xia can't help much in this process. He has basically implemented the stocking policy. As long as he ensures that Xiao Shangqin doesn't grow up to the crazy look in the plot, he already feels Your own merits and virtues are complete.
But now that Shang Qin is willing to speak up, Fang Xia, the old father, is also very pleased.
Fang Xia agreed, and did not continue to ask further questions.
He knew in his heart that even if he continued to ask, there would be no good results.
According to the precedents that Fang Xia saw in the Li Dynasty palace in these years, this kind of person who was sent to another palace as an undercover agent, even if Shang Qin really put him back, did not get any valuable information and exposed himself. Most likely, there will be no good fruit to eat, or even worse, they may be suspected of betrayal.
For those who come out undercover, the master must have some means of control. Once they are suspected of betraying the master, then they are not the only ones who have an accident.And since this person has become a useless move, their master probably doesn't care about whether he is killed or not.
Fang Xia thought of this, and his mood turned to a heavy and depressed direction uncontrollably.
It's just that it's not realistic to change the environment for a while, and all he can do is adjust his mentality.
Fang Xia temporarily skipped such a heavy topic, and started his old father's daily life instead, caring about Shang Qin's homework.
When Shang Qin heard him ask this question, he knew that today's matter had just been revealed, and the gloomy expression that had started just now finally relaxed.
Shang Qin was not lying, the servant was indeed the prince's person, but he knew about this matter from the beginning, and he didn't put much effort into dealing with it, he just randomly assigned people to unimportant places.After all, he is not Xiao Shisan here, and the prince just slipped someone in when he arranged, and it was the same for the unfavored princes in the palace. The prince probably didn't expect them to send any valuable news back, but just let him go at will. Playing casual chess, he didn't even bother to choose a candidate.
Shang Qin didn't care about it at first, after all, it doesn't matter if this person is let go, but if he handles it, it will easily cause the prince to think too much.
...but that person sneaked into the side hall.
The first thing the servants who came to Lanyou Palace knew was that prejudice is a forbidden place, and they are not allowed to enter and leave at will.
After getting along for so many years, Shang Qin also discovered some habits of Ah Xia.
He is not very afraid of the sun, and maintains the same routine as when he was still alive. He is active during the day and rests at night, but he does not necessarily have to rest at night.Shang Qin also saw him go out all night several times, but it didn't affect the next day.
But in contrast to this point, Ah Xia seems to be very afraid of being touched.
The other party tried to comfort him several times in the crowd, but at most he just pulled his sleeves and hem, and would never have direct contact with him.
Probably the anger of the living is hindering him?
Thinking about it this way, except for cleaning at fixed hours, Shang Qin expressly prohibited his subordinates from entering and leaving the side hall.The servant who was dragged down today committed exactly this taboo.
Shang Qin narrowed his eyes.
Since he wants to take credit for his master, he will give him a "credit".
……
That cold emotion was fleeting, and when Shang Qin raised his head again, the gloom on his face that didn't fit his age disappeared, and the expression on his face actually looked a little cute under closer inspection.
"Mr. Lu talked about something about the previous court today."
Fang Xia nodded, it is true that only Mr. Lu can talk about it.
Fang Xia didn't know if it was like this in every dynasty, or if there was something special about this Dali Dynasty, it seemed to have some taboos towards the previous dynasty.Whether it's what Fang Xia listened to in the Minister's study when he was reading with Fang Xia, or the audience who went to collect information in the court hall, these scholars often quoted scriptures and examples in their speech, but they rarely mentioned the affairs of the previous dynasty.
The gentlemen of Shangshufang, although Fang Xia labeled them as "discriminatory treatment" at the beginning, but in fact, each gentleman has a different personality, depending on Shang Qin's different performance when he fell in love with him You can see what they like.And this Mr. Lu is indeed the most unruly of all the gentlemen.
Fang Xia looked at these things a little bit divergently, but he heard Shang Qin continue, "The country name of the former dynasty was 'Ye'——"
Fang Xia:? ? ?
This seems like it might be... familiar?
Fang Xia struggled: "Which 'Ye'?"
——Is it the same pronunciation, or the same name?
