Chapter 15
After Chu Qing walked out of the ear room, he changed into a more formal set of clothes, a crescent-white gown with auspicious patterns embroidered on it, a delicate jade crown carved with ancient Chinese characters, and stepped out of the mansion At that time, the accompanying maid couldn't help but take a closer look.
"The fourth prince looks so handsome and personable."
……
Many words of praise for Chu Qing's appearance and temperament came from far away in the mansion.
Chu Qing ignored them, he got into the carriage, An Liu was already waiting for Chu Qing in the carriage.
"Master." An Liu bowed to Chu Qing.
Chu Qing helped An Liu up, and asked, "How's the investigation going?"
"The government doctor is fine." An Liu said.
"Okay, how much trouble do you have about refined sugar, if there are any differences from the plan I wrote in the progress process, or if you encounter any difficulties, just tell me." Chu Qing said to An Liu.
"Yes."
The prime minister's mansion was not far from Chu Qing's mansion, and the carriage stopped after a while.
After getting off the carriage, Chu Qing held a greeting card and was about to knock on the door of Prime Minister Bian's mansion, but unexpectedly, the door was opened first.
A man dressed as a prince stepped over the threshold of the prime minister's mansion and came out.
Based on the clothes on the other party's body, Chu Qing guessed that the other party was the prince of Great Chu——Chu Chen.
In the original book, the crown prince was born of the Queen of Chu, the Wei family. Since the founding of the Chu state, the Wei family has existed as the founding father of the country. The Wei family has prospered all the way and has had a decisive influence on the Chu state.
As the eldest son, Chu Chen should be the next King of Chu, but he was narrow-minded and extremely jealous and killed many good officials. It is recorded in the original book that he even alienated the relationship between General Jin and the King of Chu. A famous general at the border of Chu State.
The king of Chu killed General Jin under the treacherous words of the prince, which directly led to the collapse of the three armies. Before the Qin army came, the state of Chu was on the verge of subjugation.
Chu Qing's thoughts were like lightning, and after recalling the prince's disposition through the original book, he did not act rashly.
According to the rules of etiquette, Chu Qing bowed to the prince.
It's just that the prince's face was very unfriendly, he didn't let Chu Qing excuse him, but looked at Chu Qing leisurely, as leisurely as watching a horse race.
The wind in the evening carried a bit of chill, Chu Qing's body was already weak, and the intractable toxin made the cough deeply ingrained, and he had to maintain the posture in salute, which made Chu Qing's illness even worse.
Chu Qing forcibly endured the itching in her throat, but she tasted the rusty smell rising from her throat.
I am too close to Prime Minister Bian, and in Chu Chen's eyes, the whole world is his personal belongings. It is only natural that the crown prince wants to give him a blow. From this point of view, Chu Chen, the crown prince of Chu State, is suitable The description of him in the book is narrow and jealous.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Chu Qing decided to distract himself. He began to think about something. It seemed that he wanted to get rid of the poison in his body as soon as possible. Dealing with the excrement and urine in his mansion, Chu Qing couldn't help laughing.
Prince Chu Chen said in a strange way: "Fourth brother is very capable..."
At this moment, a loud noise startled everyone, followed by an extremely unspeakable stench that permeated the air.
When an accident happened, the prince's attention was distracted, and Chu Qing took the opportunity to avoid the ceremony without a trace.
Chu Qing turned her head and saw that it turned out that the wooden cart carrying Gong barrels had collided with Prince Chu Chen's carriage, which caused the stench here.
And "unfortunately", all the barrels on the transport cart were overturned, and the feces in them were spilled all over the prince's carriage.
The servant who was transporting the bucket fell to his knees and said repeatedly: "My lord, please forgive me, my lord, please forgive me. The little one really didn't do it on purpose. The carriage was parked in the middle of the road, and the little one didn't pay attention when pulling it."
The servant kneeling on the ground was none other than Qin Wuzhou's secret guard, Qin Qi. Qin Qi pulled his collar again, his face was covered with dust, his clothes were tattered, and there were patches everywhere. Servant of the dirtiest work.
Qin Qi complained secretly in his heart, why did the Lord give him such a horrible job, but it was not so refreshing to throw the dung on the carriage of Prince Da Chu.
Following the servant's words, Chu Qing carefully observed Prince Chu Chen's carriage, and found that the prince's carriage was not only illegally parked in the middle of the road, causing congestion of pedestrians and carriages, but also built in violation of regulations.
It's good that no one mentioned this matter, but if it goes online and builds a carriage illegally, King Chu will definitely feel that his royal power has been offended.
Chu Qing turned his gaze back to the servant kneeling on the ground. This servant was unusual. His excuses completely focused on Prince Chu Chen's pain points, which made him angry again. He couldn't kill the servant over this matter, so he could only make it a trivial matter. up.
Prince Chu Chen was very angry when facing the carriage soiled by the excrement, but soon he endured it, and said harshly to the servant kneeling on the ground: "Dirty Prince Luan, do you know what crime it is?"
"The crown prince is magnanimous. If you can dig out your eyeballs here and throw them into the dung heap, I will spare you the death penalty." The voice of the crown prince Chu Chen was like a poisonous snake, cold and mean.
At this moment, the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion opened, and Bian Miao rushed out with a very dignified voice.
"Your Highness, think twice!"
Prince Chu Chen heard Prime Minister Bian's voice, turned his head, sneered at Bian Miao and said, "Prince Bian, I have already thought twice, and the death penalty for this vulgar man is spared."
Chu Qing watched this farce with cold eyes. Although his face was slightly pale due to illness, compared with the vicious and mean prince, Chu Qing was like a noble fairy in the heavenly palace.
Prime Minister Bian glanced at the scene at this time, so narrow-minded, how could he tolerate all the people of the Chu Kingdom? If such a person is allowed to succeed the King of Chu, the foundation of the ancestors will be defeated by him. The prince is really embarrassing. .
"The sharp mountains are not high, and the water is not deep. You are my great prince of Chu, with a high status, so there is no need to argue with this vulgar person. If he really digs out his eyeballs, I am afraid it will hurt the reputation of His Royal Highness. It's not worth it for such a humble person." Bian Miao knew that he couldn't force him to persuade him, so he simply followed the prince Chu Chen's train of thought, and at the same time put him on the high platform of public opinion. dilemma.
Prince Chu Chen squinted his eyes and stared at Bian Miao for a long time without speaking.
Bian Miao didn't say anything more. He looked at the prince Chu Chen without fear. As the elder of the three dynasties and the powerful prime minister in the court, unless the prince succeeds to the throne, the prince really has nothing to do with Bian Miao.
Seeing that the two were at a stalemate, Chu Qing passed a step to the crown prince, he smiled and said, "What Prime Minister Bian said is absolutely true, my brother is worthy of being the crown prince of my great Chu, he is so big, my brother can't even touch one ten thousandth of it." Not enough."
"Fourth brother is too modest, I don't want this servant's eyeballs, but I can't use the carriage. If I miss the dinner with my father, I'm afraid you and I can't afford it." Prince Chu Chen felt puzzled, But what Chu Qing and Bian Miao said, if he persisted, when the news spread, he would be criticized for breaking the rules.
Qin Qi hated this selfish and ruthless prince in his heart, but his life was at stake, so he seized the opportunity and kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you, prince, thank you, prince!"
Chu Qing secretly thought that the prince is mean, has no tolerance for others, and loves harsh punishments, and takes pleasure in it, but he is not brainless. Compared with the second prince, he is much more difficult to deal with.
"Fourth brother, what do you think should be done?" The prince cast his eyes on Chu Qing's carriage in the corner.
Chu Qing sneered in her heart, even if she wanted to use his car, don't even think about it.
"Your Highness, the crown prince, is precious, your carriage cannot be used anymore, my brother is willing to give the carriage to my brother, but my brother's carriage is too simple, I am afraid it is not worthy of the lofty status of my brother, Prince Da Chu." Chu Qing was expressionless and unemotional. He said something against his will without any burden.
"Then fourth brother, tell me, how do I go back? If Gu Ruo goes back on horseback, without the guards, I'm afraid it will be dangerous." Prince Chu Chen bared his fangs like a poisonous tongue, "If brother I can't go, if the king finds out about this, the coachman will definitely be executed by Ling Chi, and I'm afraid you won't be able to please fourth brother."
Chu Qing knew that the crown prince was threatening him. If he did not send the carriage, he would be disrespectful to his elder brother and disfilial to his father. At that time, the king of Chu would definitely punish him severely for this matter. In front of him, he took the initiative to show weakness to the prince and please the prince.
Thinking of how the crown prince ordered him to salute before, but he couldn't help but bow for a long time, an idea came to Chu Qing's mind, doesn't the crown prince want to pay attention to filial piety?This made him deeply filial and unforgettable.
Chu Qing was not troubled by the crown prince, instead he said to the crown prince: "Buddhists often travel west on foot to the holy place in their hearts. Father believes in immortals and Buddhas. Your Highness, your chance has come."
Prince Chu Chen didn't expect that Chu Qing's answer was not what he asked, but he was curious about what kind of medicine Chu Qing sold in the gourd, so he asked, "What chance?"
"You can walk to the palace like a devout believer, which will better reflect your piety. I think my father will be delighted when he hears about your filial piety! He will praise your virtuousness!" Chu Qing said in a flashy manner, but he compared walking with filial piety and virtuousness. Closely connected, the implication is that not doing so is unfilial.
Chu Qing thought, if the prince wants to show his virtue, he should go back by himself, and don't pay attention to his carriage.
Prince Chu Chen was speechless for a moment, he wanted to give Chu Qing the hot potato, it would be better to scald Chu Qing until his skin faded, but he kicked the ball back again, time was running out, and there was no time to order someone to drive the carriage from the mansion Come here and look for the frame at will, but it will insult his identity...
After thinking about it carefully, Chu Qing's method is not a problem. She is tired, but she can gain a good name, but she doesn't know whether Chu Qing is really thinking of him, or if she made a bad move.
"My brother, my brother wrongly blamed you earlier," Prince Chu Chen patted Chu Qing's shoulder vigorously and said, "Brother thought you were stupid, but I didn't expect you to have such a delicate mind and think of my brother wholeheartedly , if you have the opportunity to come to your brother's mansion more often."
Chu Chen's hands were strong, and Chu Qing coughed repeatedly after being photographed.
"Okay, brother is looking forward to it." Chu Qing smirked and added in his heart, looking forward to King Chu's furious look after waiting for you for several hours.
Prince Chu Chen hurriedly left without saying hello to Bian Miao.
Looking at the back of the prince going away, Chu Qing estimated in his heart that it would take at least two hours for the prince to walk from the prime minister's mansion back to the palace. Given the prince's lazy personality and lack of exercise, it would probably take twice as long.
Chu Qing held back her laughter, and was greeted by Bian Miao, and stepped into the prime minister's residence.
After the door between the two was closed, they looked at each other, and at the same time thought of the prince who was as cold as a poisonous snake, panting and sweating like rain when he was fooled into walking back to the palace, both of them couldn't help laughing.
"You boy," said Bian Xiang with a smile, "it's really good."
Chu Qing also couldn't breathe from laughing, and he replied: "It's true, Prime Minister Bian, the sword is not old."
The two laughed heartily in the inner courtyard.
Qin Wuzhou was busy with the "hygienic issues" in Chuqing Mansion, took a bath three times, and when he sneaked into the Prime Minister's Mansion, he still felt that there seemed to be a faint smell on his body.
However, when he hid in the dark, he only saw Chu Qing and Bian Xiang laughing happily in the inner courtyard.
Qin Wuzhou: ...
