Chapter 802: Prince, I Heard that You Want to Find some Words
"Yes, yes!" Shao Jing nodded repeatedly. Now whatever King Cheng said was good, he did not dare to disagree. She was just a little daughter. If a concubine was given to Prince Qing, it would be better to give it to His Highness King Cheng. Compared to Prince Qing, who was of little use, His Highness Prince Cheng was the most powerful.
"Your Majesty, I heard that you are looking for some calligraphy?" Shao Jing wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly changed the subject.
King Cheng's face immediately turned cold, he stood still suddenly, turned his head and looked at Shao Jing coldly, his eyes cold: "What do you know?"
There were some things that King Cheng didn't believe in Shao Jing, and Shao Jing shouldn't know.
"Your Majesty, I know this by accident, because I saw your Majesty sending people to look for calligraphy and paintings!" Shao Jing panicked and hurriedly explained.
King Cheng stared at Shao Jing closely, staring at the sweat on Shao Jing's forehead rolling down again, then he snorted softly, turned his head, and his expression became gentle again: "I really want to find some words, I am The king likes this kind of powerful calligraphy and painting, does Xingguo Gong have any good calligraphy and painting?"
Without the intense gaze of King Cheng, Shao Jing breathed a sigh of relief and took two steps to catch up with King Cheng. He carefully said, "Your Majesty, I got a calligraphy and painting in my hands, but I don't know if it is the prince who is looking for it." Yes, it does look very powerful, but it doesn’t look like it was written by a famous artist. I heard that the prince liked it, so I brought it here!"
Shao Jing did not dare to say that he had worked hard to find this. He had been hiding it before, waiting for a more favorable opportunity, but now he had to show it to please King Cheng.
Shao Yanru's entry into the palace to deal with Baolin not only ruined her own affairs, but also ruined Shao Jing's affairs. Without Chu Liuyue and Chu Liuzhou around Shao Yanru, Shao Jing had no other way out. Now he only has I followed King Cheng all the way, not daring to have any second thoughts.
"Is there a seal?" Prince Cheng squeezed his hands tightly in the sleeves of his robe, then suppressed the anxiety in his heart and said slowly.
"Yes, but I can't see clearly. My lord, would you like to take a look?" Shao Jing lowered his head and said sincerely.
"Since you brought it, you can show it to me later!" Prince Cheng's hand slowly relaxed, and there was a hint of smile in his expression, without the cold anger before.
"Yes, yes, I will leave my words to the prince as soon as I become a minister!" Shao Jing accepted the request and said goodbye. Since Prince Cheng was unwilling to tell him about this matter, he could never express his knowledge.
"Go ahead, your eldest daughter is of no use anymore, but don't you still have a younger daughter? If in the future... I will certainly not treat your younger daughter badly. Although the status of a concubine is a bit lower, but How can I, the king, care about my identity? It’s impossible to say that the person who is destined to receive the Phoenix’s fate is not your eldest daughter!”
King Cheng said half-jokingly.
This sentence put Shao Jing's heart at ease, and the originally tense mood may have relaxed a little. Although the legitimate daughter and the concubine have different identities, they are both of his blood, and they are the same to him. Since they are mostly daughters, King Cheng This means again, although the status of entering the mansion may be lower, everything is still possible in the future.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I know this, but I will send my little daughter to the palace as soon as the Prince orders me!" Shao Jing patted his chest and promised.
King Cheng nodded with a smile and said to the happy man on the side, "Go and send Duke Xing Guo off!"
With joy and understanding, he hurriedly stepped forward and extended his hand to Shao Jing: "Xingguo Gong, please!".
He sent Shao Jing all the way to the door, watched Shao Jing get on the carriage, and then winked at the dark place. The secret guard had already understood and followed.
After getting on the carriage at the entrance of the temple, Shao Jing wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He was afraid for a while, but he had no choice but to think of this method.
The origin of the scroll was not legitimate. He didn't dare to let King Cheng know about it. It was better to go back home now. He was afraid that King Cheng would target him first.
If such a big thing hadn't happened to Shao Yanru, he would never have exposed himself at this time. The only calligraphy in his hand was originally worth a greater value. Thinking of this, he was really disappointed in his eldest daughter. .
This daughter is still not raised well!
Shao Jing's guess was correct. Someone was indeed staring at his carriage, but what he guessed wrong was that it was not only King Cheng's people who were staring at him, but also Chu Liuchen's people. At noon that day, Chu Liuchen got the news.
"Calligraphy and painting?" Chu Liuchen raised his eyebrows, his handsome eyes were dark and without any warmth, and they were terrifyingly sinister.
"Yes, it should be calligraphy and painting, a long scroll. Duke Xingguo hugged him tightly and waited outside for a long time. His Highness Prince Cheng did not see him. It was only later that he was called in. He was very polite when he came out, and the joy around King Cheng even sent him outside the door and watched Duke Xingguo get into the carriage."
"Uncle Wang seems to be really interested in calligraphy and painting!" Chu Liuchen twitched the corners of his lips and said sarcastically, "At this time, he is still in the mood to appreciate calligraphy and painting. It shows that this calligraphy and painting is indeed extraordinary."
After such a big thing happened, it was certain that Shao Jing would express his loyalty to King Cheng. In fact, Chu Liuchen always knew that King Cheng had other thoughts, but at that time he didn't even care about his own life, so how could he care about others? It's just for fun, and it's just a joke when you're in a bad mood, so people keep staring at King Cheng.
I didn't expect that it would be used now.
The previous exposure of King Cheng to the public also caused King Cheng to lose a lot of opportunities and attracted the attention of his uncle. Compared with before, King Cheng's situation in front of his uncle was much worse. Many things happened. He didn't dare to act in vain for fear of arousing suspicion.
Shao Jing got close to King Cheng early. It was a matter of King Cheng's faction, and Chu Liuchen also knew about it early.
"Sir, is it something particularly important, and will it arouse His Highness Prince Cheng's thoughts? Shao Baolin's incident has happened, and the entire Xingguo Palace is in bad shape. Do you think it could be that... picture? Calligraphy and painting?" Xiao Xuanzi reminded him as he rolled his eyes.
"It should be that calligraphy!" Chu Liuchen said with certainty.
"What are you going to do, grab it?" Xiao Xuanzi started gearing up excitedly. This is a good thing!
"Don't worry, let's wait until Uncle Wang finds a few more pictures!" Chu Liuchen smiled slightly, and his whole expression immediately became gentle.
"What I'm talking about is, about Prince Cheng..." Xiao Xuanzi nodded in agreement.
"Just keep an eye on it first. If you can't keep an eye on Shao Jing, don't worry. Being able to suddenly take out this calligraphy for emergency purposes shows that you have been prepared for it. You were prepared for a long time but didn't take it out early!" Chu Liuchen The smile was a little lazy and a little cold. He sat down in front of the chair and flicked the table in front of him with his slender fingers. This thing became more and more interesting.
He is bound to win those few words! If King Cheng is willing to collect, let him collect first! Moreover, he felt that it would be extremely difficult for Shao Jing to obtain this calligraphy. Otherwise, given the strength of King Cheng, it has not been found for so many years. No matter how powerful Shao Jing is, he will not be as powerful as King Cheng.
Moreover, he has never left the capital. I heard that these words were originally sent out of the capital. Shao Jing has never left the capital. So when did he send the people, or did he secretly leave the capital himself?
When the Queen Mother's decree came, Shao Wanru and the ladies were learning etiquette from the steward. Before, some ladies from well-known aristocratic families and the steward would open one eye or close one eye and just let them be. I didn't force them to take a break.
After Shao Yanru's incident was revealed, the housekeeper was also scolded. She didn't dare to let go any more. Those who had learned well and those who were not, were taught together. For this reason, Shao Wanru suffered the disaster of being a fish in the pond. In the past few days, She was looked down upon every day, and Yu Jie was indignant for a long time.
Shao Wanru, on the other hand, was very calm. He said nothing and did nothing. He just learned the palace rules and etiquette from the steward, and was directly rude to the malicious looks of the ladies from the aristocratic families.
Zhang Qilan was ill, and the illness was very serious. After being sent out of the palace, Shao Wanru kept to herself. Although there was no one to talk to, no one would deliberately get close to him, and there was no need to treat people with false feelings.
Qi Ronzhi was still avoiding her as before. Whenever Shao Wanru came close, she felt very nervous, as if what happened that day never happened, so Shao Wanru stopped paying attention to her.
There was another mystery to those incomprehensible words, but she didn't want to deal with Qi Rongzhi. No matter what her purpose was, it had nothing to do with her.
A few days after An An's identity was announced, rumors spread among the show girls that Shao Wanru was unlikely to be selected. Several ladies from the Xingguo Duke's Palace entered the palace to participate in the show. At first, they made a big splash, but in the end they all retreated. It was such a slap in the face that the one left behind turned out to be Bao Lin, who was the lowest in the palace. All the ladies from the aristocratic families found it funny.
So what if Miss Shao Wu in front of me is very good-looking? If she marries any prince, her generation will be wrong. Is it possible that she can still marry?
This was also one of the most important reasons why the show girls ignored Shao Wanru. Everyone felt that she had no hope. But at this time, the Queen Mother's decree came to let Shao Wanru pass, which immediately caused a commotion among the show girls, and everyone was surprised. Watching Shao Wanru leave, there was a lot of discussion. What did the Queen Mother mean? Could it be that Shao Wanru really still had a chance?
Under the complicated eyes of all the beautiful ladies, Shao Wanru got on the soft sedan waiting outside the palace gate, and followed the people sent by the Queen Mother to the Cining Palace where the Queen Mother lived.
This is not the first time she has come here. The difference from the first time is that this time the Queen Mother's palace is very peaceful. There are no teasing laughter from other concubines, which shows that there are no other concubines around. He stepped forward and bowed respectfully to the middle position, then stood up amid the Queen Mother's warm words and stood aside respectfully.
He lowered his head slightly and lowered his eyes. Although he looked a bit childish, he felt calm and decent, without any panic at all, and the look on his face was very peaceful.
The Empress Dowager remembered that when the palace servants came to report to her about the reactions of the show girls and Shao Wanru, she nodded secretly. She could still be stable after such a big thing happened to her sisters. To this extent, it was true. He is worthy of his own Chen'er.
