Cheng Yu arrived at the Dingwang Mansion and learned that Dingwang had not come back in the morning.
"Your Majesty said how long it took to stay in the palace?" He sat at the right time and asked the guard who was looking down and replying.
The guard said, "I said I'm coming back for lunch."
Cheng Yu jumped off the horse and handed him the rope, "Then I'll go inside and wait."
He had an extraordinary relationship with King Ding. None of the other princes came here to the treatment he received. The guard led the horse away, and the housekeeper of the royal palace enthusiastically led him to the warm house. After sitting down, the little maid brought tea and water, presented him with a volume of military books, and then retreated tactfully.
Cheng Yu looked around and saw that the decoration of the warm pavilion was no different from usual, so he looked through the book of the military.
"Why did you come to me for the New Year? "Ding Wang's heartfelt voice came in first, followed others and stepped into the door, casually untied the big fashion body and threw it to the manager, walked to the opposite Cheng Yu to sit down, poured himself a cup of tea, his phoenix eyes were bright, and he was obviously in a good mood.
"There are many things in the house. Come to my second brother to find peace," Cheng Yu said casually, then looked at him and asked, "My second brother is so energetic, are there any happy events?"
King Ding smiled, his eyes gloating, "Today, the Empress Dowager urged his father to establish the queen again. The father left in anger. You didn't see the Empress Dowager's expression," he looked at the boxwood table between the two, "more than this one."
Cheng Yu glanced out the window and reminded: "Be careful that there are ears in the partition walls."
It is rumored that Emperor Mingde and the Empress had a deep relationship. The Empress was appointed as the crown prince the second year after giving birth to a legitimate son. After the Empress died of illness, although there were 3,000 beauties in the harem, the throne was in vain. The Empress Dowager has always disliked the Empress. As soon as the Empress died, she immediately instigated her son to make her niece, Concubine Li, the Empress, but she mentioned it several times, but was rejected by the Emperor.
Concubine Li has a fourth prince under her knees. After the prince passed away, once Concubine Li was granted the title of queen, the fourth prince became the only legitimate prince in the palace and was also the biggest enemy of King Ding. Now that Concubine Li cannot be granted, King Ding is of course happy.
King Ding did not continue to talk about the things in the palace, stared at Cheng Yu and asked, "Tell me, what did you do?"
"Do you still remember Gu Heng?" Cheng Yu put the chessboard up and signaled King Ding to have a game.
King Ding looked at him for a while and suddenly realized, "Yes, that kid is going to come to the capital to participate in the spring exam?" After saying that, he looked at Cheng Yu meaningfully, picked up a chess piece and played with it: "I have seen him crazy that day and almost forgot about him. I have never seen him with a treasure. I came to remind me early on, is it to prevent him from harming the people of the people as an official, or to support the Jiang family's eldest daughter?"
Without Cheng Yu's answer, he already had the answer. Unfortunately, the heavy rain that day was too heavy, and he could not see clearly how handsome the Jiang family's eldest daughter looked, which made Cheng Yu, a stone that was inexplicable, entangled in her dreams.
Cheng Yu lowered his eyes and fell down a piece. The jade-like chess piece hit the chessboard and made a pleasant sound, "It's not for her, it's for myself."
King Ding raised his eyebrows in confusion.
Cheng Yu lowered his voice and told the man opposite him everything he had made of fake things.
My aunt was soft-hearted and recognized Ningzhu as her adopted daughter. The capital was only so big. Cheng Yu couldn't guarantee that King Ding would not see Ningzhu again, nor was he sure that King Ding would deny Ningzhu. He might as well tell him whether King Ding would suddenly remember the Jiang sisters in the future and inquire about their recent situation. Instead of letting the Prince Ding, who had been tied with him, and letting him decide to do his best to help him ascend the throne and become suspicious, he might as well inform him in advance that the matter has nothing to do with King Ding, and King Ding would not tell him even if he knew about it.
"You are very brave and dare to cheat under Chu Qing's nose." King Ding was very interested in hearing it, and after being surprised, he found it very interesting. He asked curiously: "The two are so similar? Why didn't you tell me on the way?"
Cheng Yu looked at him helplessly: "Why do you tell you this in one go? I didn't expect that there would be today. Tell me, how do you plan to ruin Gu Heng's future? I can't get involved in the Spring Examination, so I can only rely on you."
King Ding threw this matter behind his mind when he entered the capital. Now he mentioned it again. He thought carefully and said to himself: "Others cannot stay in the capital. If they stay in the capital, they always make people feel uneasy. Who knows that one day will he see him? It is easy to get trouble when he sees him. Killing him is the easiest, but we don't know how many people have seen the Jiang sisters in Wutong County, and whether those people will enter Beijing. If the incident happens in the future, Chu Qing investigates and finds out that Gu Heng is dead, even if the cause of death we arranged is normal, he will be even more suspicious. Besides, Gu Heng is not guilty of his fault, but he will not die."
Cheng Yu nodded. If the murder could completely solve the problem, he would have sent someone to kill him, including Uncle Zhang's family. He just sent someone to stare at them and ensure that they did not have any bad things.
King Ding turned the chess piece in his hand back and forth, suddenly laughed, and tapped the board with a slender finger and said, "Let him take the exam, let's see how he got the exam. It's best to pass the Jinshi. I privately blew the wind in my father's ears and sent him to a sesame official in a remote town. I will never let him come back in my life. With an official, we are not afraid of him running around. If he doesn't win, he will probably go back to his hometown, so we will adapt to the situation."
Cheng Yu was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Then I'll have a hard time with my second brother."
King Ding glared at him, "Why are you polite to me? Come on, let's get a good start."
After playing a few games, he spent lunch at Dingwang Mansion before Cheng Yu returned to his home.
Lying on the couch, he thought of the little girl's angry look again.
If he told her that Gu Heng had come, she would definitely be afraid, right? Just like when the dog official captured Uncle Zhang's family, she was so scared that she forgot to blame him. She cried and begged him for help. When he saved her, she was even more grateful. This time he would not make her cry, he only made her anxious...

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival.
Lanterns were hung everywhere in the Yunyang Marquis' Mansion. On the second room, Chu Qing walked in front with A Xun in her arms, Hanzhu and Chu Man followed him, Chu Hong walked at the end, and the family slowly walked along the corridor, enjoying the moon and lanterns together.
Ah Xun suddenly yawned and turned to look at his sister, "I want to sleep."
The little guy was so sleepy that his eyes could hardly open. Hanzhu stepped forward to hug him, "Dad, third brother and fourth sister, continue to enjoy the lanterns, I'll carry A Xun back first."
Chu Man was happy. When the legitimate sister left, she could stand next to her father.
Chu Qing said, "Axun is so heavy, how can you hold him? I'll take you back." After saying that, he turned his head and told Chu Hong, "It's not too early, so you can take Manman back to your room, and go to bed early."
"Then father walked slowly." Chu Hong said goodbye with a smile, turned sideways, and signaled his sister to be with him.
No matter how unhappy Chu Man was, he did not dare to disobey Chu Qing's words, and left with his brother in disappointment.
Chu Qing only thought that her little daughter had not seen enough lanterns, so she smiled and hugged A Xun and walked towards the Lotus Courtyard. Because it was dark, he only sent the siblings to the door of the upper room.
"Cover the quilt tonight and don't catch a cold." He looked at his sensible daughter who was holding his younger brother, and told softly.
The man was as handsome as a fairy under the moonlight. Hanzhu did not look at him and nodded to his chest, "Daughter knows that it's cold, Daddy, go back quickly, and you'll go to court tomorrow morning."
Chu Qing nodded, then touched her son who was about to fall asleep on her sister's shoulder, and turned around and left.
Hanzhu watched him walk away before entering the inner room.
After helping Ah Xun take off his clothes, the little guy rolled around the warm bed and became energetic again. He lay there, holding the red jade horse in both hands, and looking at his sister who used a hot towel to wipe his feet with big eyes, "I want to eat Lantern Festival."
Hanzhu said without thinking: "No, there will be a hole in her teeth before going to bed."
In the back room, someone's mouth was raised.
Ah Xun twisted his little body and acted coquettishly, "I'll just eat one. After I finish eating, I'll rinse my mouth. Sister, give it to me!"
Hanzhu clenched his little feet tightly, saw that he was begging pitiful, and stared at him and said, "I'll just eat one, and I'll ask my sister to beat you after I finish eating."
Ah Xun nodded happily.
Ruyi brought the foot wash water and then called the little maid to go to the kitchen to pass the message.
There was leftover Lantern Festival in the morning, so I boiled water and cooked it for a while. Ruyi got the order and only brought a Lantern Festival with jujube paste stuffing. Ah Xun sat up and looked up at his sister blowing it to him.
After eating Lantern Festival, the little guy felt sleepy again. After rinsing his mouth, he lay in his sister's arms and fell asleep quickly.
Hanzhu continued to shoot for a while before putting on her embroidered shoes and getting off the floor, closing the door of the inner room, checking the window, and walking towards Gong's room.
As soon as I entered, someone covered his mouth and pressed it on the wall.
Hanzhu's eyes widened in horror.
Seeing that she saw herself clearly, Cheng Yu slowly let go.
Hanzhu was still scared and her chest was undulating. Because there was a burning ground dragon in the room, Hanzhu took off her coat when she was sleeping. She had few clothes, and the ups and downs became obvious. Especially, she was so scared that she pressed against the wall and didn't move. The whole body was eye-catching, which made Cheng Yu feel difficult not to pay attention.
His throat was tight, and he turned his back and whispered, "The room is cold, go and add another piece of clothing, I have something to say to you." As if you could see her frowning frown, he added lightly, "Gu Heng has entered Beijing."
Hanzhu's anger disappeared, and she stood there for a while, bit her lip, and went to add clothes inside.
When I came back, I wore a jade-colored jacket and a light-colored long skirt underneath, which was so beautiful and tender.
She stood at the door and asked him, "Why didn't Ruyi and the others tell me?" She hid inside in secret. Fortunately, it was winter, and her pajamas were thick, and her arms and legs were not exposed. If he was so arrogant in summer, what would she do if she was unprepared to be seen by him?
She is a innocent girl. She is here to take care of A Xun for him, not for him to offend him repeatedly. The last time she suddenly appeared after she fell asleep. Even if he had no bad intentions, wouldn't he think about her feelings?
Even though she lowered her head, Cheng Yu could see her grievances from the corners of her pale face, which was tightly pursed.
If she doesn't explain, she will cry again?
Cheng Yu stepped closer to her, afraid that she would cry, so he softened his voice, "They didn't know that I was here. It's not appropriate to see you at night."
Hanzhu felt a little relieved after hearing this, but she was still dissatisfied.
Cheng Yu also knew it and immediately said, "I'll come to you alone during the day. It's not good to spread it. Please ask your aunt to accompany you, for fear that your aunt will think too much."
Since you can't come during the day and there is still something to say, you can only come at night.
Hanzhu couldn't get angry at all, and her eyebrows relaxed, and her unconscious pouting mouth was also retracted.
