Chapter 117 3th Brother
July came suddenly, the Koelreuteria trees began to bear white fruits, and the irises were in full bloom.
But there are not many ambitious ladies who do not care about these unnoble flowers and trees.
Perhaps because of Tong Jia Yunrong's role as a "brick", many concubines regarded themselves as pieces of "jade".
Next to the side door of Chuxiu Palace, the third prince Hongshi was mysteriously pulling the fourth prince Hongli and was quietly looking at the concubines inside.
The Fourth Prince frowned, holding a book in his hand, and tried to dissuade the Third Prince: "Brother, it is against the rules for us to be here."
Hongshi, holding on to his sense of justice, hugged Hongli tightly, patted Hongli's shoulder, and said casually, "What happened? I'll take care of it for you, my brother. Thank you for your kindness last time."
Hongli said in a low voice: "If my Royal Brother really wants to thank me, please don't tell anyone that I asked the teacher for advice."
Hongshi inherited Qi Erha's brain, and he hadn't figured it out yet. He patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, I will never tell anyone."
"What are you two doing sneaking around here? If you can't tell anyone, why not tell me?"
Even the ladies in Chuxiu Palace who were wearing flower pot soles and practicing their walking etiquette exclaimed in surprise.
When everyone looked back, they saw Liu Huacheng sitting upright in the sedan chair.
Liu Hua waved his hand lightly, and the young eunuch under his hand understood what he meant.
After putting down the sedan chair, Liu Hua stepped out and first glared at the Fourth Prince.
Then, with a gentle smile on his face, he looked at Hongli and asked carefully, "Third Prince, you must have finished your homework before leaving, right?"
Hongshi shook his head honestly and put on a kind smile, "Just a little bit more, Empress Qian."
How could Liu Hua not know that it was not just a little bit, but probably billions of bits and pieces.
He coughed twice and then said sternly:
"Because in the last draft, the rules were developed at home, so many people did not meet the rules.
The Empress Dowager and the Emperor have specifically issued a decree that this place be used as a place for the concubines to practice etiquette. Since ancient times, men and women have been strictly separated, so it is better to hurry up.
Hongshi let out a cry of disappointment. Boys of his age are naturally full of vigor and vitality.
In addition, a few days ago, Concubine Qi asked the Queen Mother for grace and selected two 23-year-old palace maids to serve as guides for him.
He is really looking forward to it now, but Liu Hua will not give Hongshi any chance. After all, Emperor Yinzhen has to choose anything first.
"If there is really a beauty you like, it won't be too late to tell me after your father has made his selection."
Hongli originally thought that Liu Hua was a very old-fashioned person, but seeing the way Liu Hua spoke in official language today, he believed it very much.
But he still said: "Then I will respectfully obey your command. Your Majesty, Concubine Qian, will definitely reserve the best ones for me to choose from.
Don’t leave all the good things to your fourth brother!
Liu Hua smiled awkwardly and watched the Third Prince leave. He then turned his head to look at Hongli, who was standing uneasy beside him.
With a slightly accusing tone, "Why don't you return to the palace? Come back quickly, I have something to tell you."
Hongli breathed a sigh of relief and immediately left with his young eunuch Xiao Jinzi.
The concubines in Chuxiu Palace were eagerly waiting for Liu Hua to come in, and Liu Hua would certainly not let them down.
I stepped over the threshold, walked in with the palace maids, and listened to their uniform and loud greetings.
He said in a gentle voice, "Everyone, get up. You're tired. But if you don't work so hard today, how can you make a big leap in the future?"
They all lowered their heads and nodded yes.
After Liu Hua asked them to get up, some of the brave ones secretly looked at Liu Hua.
All I could see were her cherry lips, narrow eyes, and golden beads sparkling in her hair, especially the jade lotus hairpin slanted in her bun.
She was wearing a light blue gauze robe and holding a string of white jade Buddhist beads.
She is beautiful, with fair wrists like frost. With her sweet smile, she no longer looks aloof, but instead appears calm and approachable.
What Liu Hua wore today was also his most precious item, which should have a deterrent effect on these beauties.
Besides, he also noticed some envious and malicious glances. But there was only one girl standing at the end with her head lowered the whole time that caught Liu Hua's attention.
The concubines entered the palace in even numbers, but Tong Jia Yunrong entered the palace early, so some of them were left alone.
She must be Fu Rujin.
Liu Hua did not make any other moves. He just asked about the recent situation and then returned to Yonghe Palace.
On the bluestone road, Liu Hua supported his head with one hand and thought carefully: Don't give Fu Rujin special treatment, just let her arrive at the audition safely.
With her appearance, she would have been outstanding even without her own efforts. But she chose to come forward on her own and deliberately let her enter the palace.
After all, Fu Rujin's grandfather had approved the application for her uncle to sell salt.
After entering the cabinet, I saw Hongli looking down at his shoes.
He asked Xiao Yunzi to bring him a chair and let him sit down. He then asked in person, "What's the matter? Tell me now so that Mother can help you think of a solution."
Hongli looked at Xiao Yunzi hesitantly. Liu Hua said helplessly, "Xiao Yunzi is mine. Why would you betray him like this?"
A flicker of gratitude flashed in Xiao Yunzi's eyes, and he no longer cared about it. He said directly: "My son and my master often talk about academic matters until the evening, and sometimes we can't help but talk about other trivial matters."
Liu Hua suddenly put down the teacup he had just brought, opened his eyes wide, stared at Hongli, and said seriously: "What trivial things are you talking about?"
Hongli swallowed unconsciously. After all, he was only 14 years old and relied on Liu Hua.
Unable to resist Liu Hua's sudden disgust, he knelt down and said, "It's Lord Longkodo, who is arrogant, extravagant, and licentious. He is greedy for money, gathers people, and forms cliques for personal gain. He even favors his concubine and kills his wife."
Liu Hua's heart tensed up, and he looked at Hongli with some annoyance and said, "Don't respond to the first few items."
Hongli said quickly, "Don't worry, mother. I'm not that stupid. Master, I just listen. Master, what I'm doing, I just say I'm writing and I can't remember it.
But that time, the Third Prince accidentally walked in, but he didn't really notice it, he just thought I was secretly taking extra classes.
Hongli was still thinking about atonement, so he immediately stood up, put on a smile, and said, "Mother, these are really trivial matters. The one you talked about the most is actually the matter of favoring concubines and killing wives."
Liu Hua was very confused, but he also understood in his heart, and said to Hongli: "What's the big deal? Longkodo is already in his teens, and his wife must be of the same age.
In this era, I met Longkodo, and at this age. How could I please the master? Having a beautiful concubine is not normal in this era.
Hongli nodded repeatedly, first assuring Liu Hua that he would not spoil his wife and then said, "But his concubine went too far. I heard that she slapped Hesheli in front of Longkodo."
Liu Hua was a little surprised and asked quickly, "This is too much for ordinary people to hear. Did the lady do something wrong?"
Hongli shook his head at first, but then nodded and said, "I don't know what I did wrong.
But Aunt Li is actually already nearly 30 years old. If she is beautiful, and there are many who are, I'm afraid she has really found something wrong with her."
