Chapter 127 What kind of hatred
"I may have caused trouble again today." Lan Tuo said honestly while kneeling.

Princess Guo is very distressed. Her only son, the future heir of the Changxinhou Mansion, not to mention causing trouble, even poking a hole in the sky, she, a mother, will actively protect it.

Why bother kneeling.

No need to kneel at all.

Changxinhou had to stay at home these days. On weekdays, apart from taking a job in the palace under the name of Changxinhou, he received some salary and silver on time and festivals every month, and the rest of the time was considered carefree.

Qingcheng nobles, especially those hereditary families, most likely look down on him.

At that time, he was just an unknown official who sorted out the collection of books in the palace, and he received a fifth-rank salary.

Princess Guo happened to be bored in those days. She went to Zangshuge to choose books by herself. The man on duty in Zangshuge was Chang Xinhou. Seeing the sun rise and see the sun set and night fall.

The princess was immersed in the book all day, or she was in a bad mood, so she didn't move all day, didn't eat a grain of rice, and didn't drink a sip of water.

Chang Xinhou waited for her for a day.

When the princess walked out of the Library Pavilion, the night was deep and the stars were dense.

Chang Xinhou raised a lamp to light the way for the princess.He kept his head down all the way and didn't say a word.

"Have you not eaten all day?" the princess asked him.

Chang Xinhou nodded.

"Why don't you eat?"

"I'm afraid the princess needs something, and I'm not here, so I missed the call."

"Stupid." The princess walked ahead in a long dress, and Chang Xinhou followed silently with a lamp.

"What do you do when you see me crying?" the princess asked him.

"If the princess doesn't want to see the minister again, the minister can retreat back to his hometown."

No groveling, no superfluous words.

At that time, Chang Xinhou was only about 20 years old, and his family background was average, and his ancestors did not slaughter officials, not even a decent official.

It is not easy for him to be admitted to the Zangshu Pavilion by himself. He can easily say "retire from court and return to hometown". I don't know how much courage he mustered. That is his future.

Princess Guo just said to him angrily: "Stupid."

The road was not long that night, and Princess Guo walked along the palace road with him for a long time.

The flowers in the imperial garden are in full bloom, and the frogs in the pond are jumping on the lotus leaves looking at the moon.

That night, the princess rewarded Chang Xinhou with several "stupid" words, and Chang Xinhou listened silently, without refuting at all.

Since then, Princess Guo has been to Zangshu Pavilion several times. She cried there, but then she stopped crying.

Later, when spring went to summer, the weather got hotter and hotter, the princess hid in the book library and refused to go out, and said that the things in the palace were all in the style of the palace, and it was very boring after eating for twenty years. The weather was hot last summer, and people lost their appetite. The princess lost weight, and her little face also lost weight.

The princess was in the library pavilion, and Chang Xinhou only dared to sit far behind the long case, almost leaning against the door, not daring to take half a step forward.

At noon that day, Princess Guo lingered in Zangshu Pavilion again and refused to leave. Chang Xinhou took out a paper bag from his arms and opened it. Inside was bright red, crystal clear hawthorn cake.

He stuffed the hawthorn cake to the princess' maid, his face turned red before he said anything, and he didn't even have the courage to look at the princess.

The hawthorn princess ate everything that day, a total of six yuan, and there was not one piece left.

On the second day, Chang Xinhou decisively brought another six yuan, and the princess ate everything again.

For half a month, he brought hawthorn cakes to the princess, rain or shine.

The princess almost vomited afterwards.

I have never seen such a person who can bring hawthorn cakes.

You should change the species anyway.

Does Qingcheng only produce hawthorn cakes?
I have never seen such a stupid person.

Such an ordinary hawthorn cake, is there a shortage in the palace?

The snacks in the palace, sugar-steamed crispy cheese, plum blossom cakes, crystal winter melon dumplings, lantern cakes, tea and food knives, almond bergamot, which one is not exquisite and delicious.

Strange to say, he said he was stupid, and felt that the things he brought were not on the table, but then he ate the small orders in the palace, light cakes, almond bergamot, and plum blossom cakes, and felt that the taste had changed and became dull , It's not as delicious as hawthorn cake.

Princess Guo knew she was done.

This is because he fell in love with this fifth-rank petty official.

What kind of future can there be with this small official? A small official who is in charge of the library will only be in charge of books in his life. He is incomparable to those generals who lead troops in war and eloquent scribes.

But Princess Guo just fell in love with him.

If Princess Guo hadn't insisted on marrying him, he might still be messing around in Cangshu Pavilion now.

Princess Guo insisted on marrying, and it was not easy to stop her in the palace, but she gave a generous dowry, and made a fifth-rank official as Chang Xinhou. Just be his Chang Xinhou.

Changxin Hou Lanyong, just like his name.

Compared with him, Lan Fai has already improved.

At least he was a forbidden soldier at a young age, and he usually walked around the palace, and the emperor praised him a lot.

Lan Yong read books in Zangshu Pavilion for so many years, the emperor never praised him, only the old queen mother said to him: "It is said that you read very well in Zangshu Pavilion."

Lan Yong has also been in the officialdom for several years. Although the official position is not high, he still understands human affairs, right and wrong.

He didn't even agree with Lan Tui when he became the imperial guard.It is only said that the imperial army looks majestic, but in fact it is the easiest to offend people, and it is also very dangerous. There is only this single seedling. I hope he grows up safely and becomes a relative at that time. up.

Princess Guo doesn't think so.

It's because Changxinhou's mansion doesn't have a man with a strong family. Although she has a rich dowry and there is no shortage of money in the mansion, in terms of long-term development, how can she succeed if she doesn't enter an official career?
Qingcheng puts a lot of emphasis on martial arts, and the status of literati is not high.

But Changxinhou's Mansion had never had a general, and Lan Tui was still young. He was a forbidden soldier, and he was all for training.

Lan Fade is the hope of the Marquis of Changxin. If he does not make progress, after three generations, the Marquis of Changxin will be gone, and her princess will become a dead bone. How will future generations deal with themselves?

In the past, Lan Tui was just a simple imperial guard, and when he caused trouble, he rarely, very rarely.

Now he knelt down on his own initiative, thinking that he would cause a lot of trouble.

"What happened to you?" Lan Yong put down the chopsticks in his hand, with questioning and wary eyes.

"Father—I—in the palace—"

"Father has told you many times not to get involved in the affairs of the palace, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. It seems that this time, you did not listen to what father said."

Princess Guo didn't pay attention to what Lan Yong said, she just felt sorry for Lan Tui: "Get up quickly, what trouble has caused, just tell mother, the sky won't fall."

"I beat Guo Cheng."

Changxin Hou Lanyong's complexion changed.

Princess Guo often walks in the palace, and she can still inquire about the wind direction in the palace. Although Guo Kai is a bit lazy, his mother and concubine Zhao Rui have spent a lot of time with the emperor in recent years. There is still some place in my heart.

Dare to touch Guo Wei, his son is so courageous.

The concubine Zhao Rui is not easy to get along with. She suffered from the aftermath of being abused when she was a slave and servant, and she loves to be true in everything, so she probably won't let it go.

Princess Guo gently put down her chopsticks: "Fa'er... Are you afraid? Or do you regret it? Since you regretted it, why did you do it in the first place?"

"Mother, I'm not afraid, nor regretful."

"Oh?"

"I have never regretted anything I have done. I told my mother about it just because I was afraid that my parents would worry."

"Like what my son said, be tough." Princess Guo smiled and asked him again: "What if the palace troubles you?"

"When I hurt him, I already thought about it. Since I hurt him, I won't be afraid of trouble."

"What hatred?" Lan Yong was puzzled.

It stands to reason that Lan Tuan and Guo Kai would not fight with weapons.

The two clearly know that well water does not violate river water.

Although Guo Kai is not very attractive, well-known, and bullying, Lan Tui's martial arts skills should not be offended by him, and Lan Tui is not a troublemaker.

What is the reason for this?
Lan Tui just knelt down and didn't say much.

He couldn't ask anything he didn't want to say.

I remember when he was seven years old, Lu Yu came to Changxinhou's Mansion to play with him, and Lu Yu owed him to ride the peacock raised by Changxinhou's Mansion. The peacock torture is gone.

The peacock was brought back from the palace by Princess Guo. It has a beautiful fur and is intelligent. Every time the princess goes to feed it, it will obediently lean against the princess' arms.This is the only one in Qingcheng, and it can't be bought with money.

When the servants of Changxinhou's mansion presented the cold peacock to the princess, the princess gathered all the people in the mansion together, and finally Lan Tui admitted that he had killed the peacock by sitting on it.

Princess Guo didn't believe it, but he insisted that no matter what Princess Guo asked, he said that the peacock died at his hands.Also had to give up.

A few days later, on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, the Lu family prepared two pheasants and brought them to Changxinhou's mansion, claiming that they were for apologizing. Lu Yu stood on the threshold of the inner hall with his eyes rolling, and his father grabbed his ears. In front of Princess Guo, Lu Yu dared to act boldly, saying that the peacock died because of him. Until then, Lan Tui still tried to protect him.

Lan Yong may still be concerned that Lan Tui hurt Guo Kai: "How is the injury? You hit hard?"

Princess Guo snorted, the food in front of her was also very tasteless, she was not in a hurry: "How is Guo Kai's injury, that's his business, is my son hurt?"

"No."

"That's good, it's all right."

There is also such protection.

Lan Yong and Princess Guo looked at each other.

How could Princess Guo not understand his thoughts, and said to Lan Tui: "Although he is a prince, your mother is also a serious princess. Everything has right and wrong. If you hurt him, you should hurt him. There are some good people in the palace." Doctor, don't worry if you didn't hinder mother. I still remember that when I was not married, I lived in the palace. At that time, I was your age. I was annoyed by the dispute with the current emperor. I even scratched the emperor's face, and the emperor also Didn't say much."

Lan Yu stared in shock: "Mother, you still dare to hit the emperor with your hands."

"My son, don't talk nonsense. Your mother is drunk." Lan Yong hurriedly smoothed things over.

"Father, you're lying. My mother clearly didn't drink." Lan Yu pouted.

"The sky won't fall, let's eat." Princess Guo took a piece of beef for Lan Tui.

During the dinner, Lan Yong poured Lan Yong a glass of wine, Lan Yong drank it, and praised the peach blossom wine for its good brewing.

Lan Heng gave Princess Guo a plum blossom cake, and Princess Guo said it was delicious after eating it. The color was bright and the taste was sweet.

The brothers and sisters Lan Tuan and Lan Yu gave each other another bowl of soup, and they finished it at the same time in a tacit understanding.

After finishing the meal, Lan faded to his room, and Lan Heng stopped her from behind.

I haven't seen him for a few days, but Lan Heng seems to have grown taller, reaching Lan Tuan's shoulders.

She was wearing a wide-sleeved shirt of white silk and silver thread, lined with a water-blue pleated skirt, with a fog-blue palace belt around her waist, and a pair of silver-gray embroidered shoes on her feet.

She had her hair in a light bun, black hair hanging down her back, and a hairpin inlaid with carved white jade in her hair looked fresh and refined, making her complexion extraordinarily bright.

Her eyes are also bright, as bright as stars in the night sky.

"Brother." Lan Heng called out.

"Xiao'er, what's the matter?" Lan Tui stopped and looked at her very gently.

"Brother, why did you hit Guo Cheng again, are you addicted to beating?"

"You came to make fun of your brother?"

Lan Yu laughed, her eyes rolled when she laughed, and her voice was as crisp as a silver bell: "Brother, you never hit people for no reason, why did you hit Guo Kai?"

"no reason."

"Is it..." Lan Yu quickly walked a few steps to stand side by side with Lan Tuan, took his arm and shook it lightly: "Are you standing out for another girl?"

"I do not have."

"Look, look, you're stuttering." Lan Yu smiled openly, "If I'm not mistaken, brother met the girl from the Xiang family?"

"My son, you should go back to embroider. Didn't mother let you learn embroidery from the mother in the palace? Have you learned it?"

Princess Guo has always been good at teaching Lan She, and most of the tutors she invited were from the palace. The teaching Lan She received was no less than that of the emperor's daughters.

Lan Xie learned a new embroidery job, but was so worried that it was difficult to get started, and her embroidery was crooked. As soon as Lan Tui urged her, she pouted: "Isn't it okay if I don't mention that girl? Hmph, I'm going back to my room to embroider. "

In Mrs. Xiang's room.

Mrs. Xiang was not asleep yet, and after dinner, Madam Su called Xiang Suining over.

"Your body is fine, why run like crazy, what if you feel uncomfortable? What if you are tired?" Old Mrs. Xiang held Xiang Suining in her arms and stroked her hair lovingly.

"Grandma, I'm fine, it's not good."

"It's fine if there's nothing to do, it's fine to have nothing to do. You went around Qingcheng, but did you meet anything interesting?"

Xiang Suining knew that Mrs. Xiang was bored, so she told Mrs. Xiang the interesting things she had seen by the bridge. Mrs. Xiang listened with great interest and drank two cups of tea.

"Suining, your hair is much darker than in the old year." Mrs. Xiang caressed gently.

Xiang Sui Ning wanted to get up.

Mrs. Xiang's hand had already reached Hao's neck, and she was supposed to lightly brush her hair, but it touched the wound on her neck, Xiang Suining couldn't help frowning.

There is a long and narrow line in her neck, which was cut by Guo Kai with a knife.
