Painting Tang Jiao

Chapter 153 Analysis
After Rong Chen washed up, he sat on a chair with a sullen face and listened to Mama Xia's report of what had happened in the mansion these days, but following Mama Xia's words, his face became even more ugly.

"What about people?" Rong Chen asked.

Xia's mother raised her eyes and said in a low voice, "I went out to visit friends today."

No matter how Xu Lan is now Rong Chen's concubine in name, it can't be said that she has the cheek to go to the princess mansion every day to ask Princess Danyang.Mother Xia believed that if she said this, Rong Chen would be able to slap the table directly.

Rong Chen believed it, and his face softened.

Mama Xia breathed a sigh of relief.

Rong Chen got up and said, "I'll go to the Princess Mansion."

Aunt Xu has been out for a while, and she should be back soon by this time, she might not miss her, if she stops her...

With a flash of thought, Mother Xia gave the other people standing a look.

Soon the others withdrew.

Xia's mother said softly: "This time the matter involves the empress in the palace, and I don't know where the news from Mr. Rong came out to ask for the young master's marriage."

If Princess Danyang hadn't made the decision, it would not be Aunt Xu who appeared in the mansion this time, but Grandma Rong.But how could Princess Danyang like Xu Lan?

Rong Chen said "hmm": "Go to my aunt's place first, and then I have to enter the palace."

Mother Xia finally agreed.

After Cong Rongchen returned to the mansion, Xia's mother sent someone to the princess mansion to report Rong Chen's safety.

As soon as Rong Chen got off his horse, someone answered him.

The people in the princess mansion are basically complete.

Princess Danyang, consort Wang Tang, son Wang Rui, daughter-in-law Xu and Wang Yi were all waiting in the room.

"It can be regarded as coming back." On the way, he met Wang Yi who came out to greet him.

Rong Chen smiled and said, "Yes, it can be regarded as coming back."

In the past few months, because of military achievements, I thought several times that I would not be able to survive and would die in southern Xinjiang, but I thought back several times that I was able to survive the last time and find someone to save me. How could I give up my life at will this time.

Just relying on this little bit of trust in you, Rong Chen narrowly escaped death several times.

Wang Yi looked at Rong Chen's expression, and thought of the military report from southern Xinjiang, and understood that he had really worked hard these days.Speaking of which, Wang Yi admired Rong Chen.

If it weren't for his identity to stare at Princess Danyang's grandson, Wang Yi would also like to show his strength. Even if he can't do it on the battlefield, he can always do it in the court.

But no.

The emperor was not worried about the situation of Princess Danyang's family at all.

After all, Rong Chen has a foreign surname, and those former ministers will probably obey Wang Yi, a pretentious boy, but it will not be easy to trust Rong Chen with his military exploits.

That's why Rong Chen can do it, but Wang Yi can only wait in the princess mansion.

"Let's go, don't go any further. Grandma is about to rush out." Wang Yi quickly adjusted his mood and said with a smile.

Rong Chen responded.

He and Wang Yi grew up together. He naturally understands Wang Yi's excellence. It's just that everyone outside envies Wang Yi's identity. As the grandson of Princess Danyang, he enjoys the glory and wealth of his life, and he can do anything at will. Available.Little did they know that no matter how the emperor guarded against the people in Princess Danyang's mansion, even Princess Danyang and Wang Yi's father would not condone Wang Yi, for fear of turning him into a playboy.

But a person who has been well-bred and has a rough heart can only wander around every day, and the aggrieved heart can be imagined.But no matter how dissatisfied, as a child of Princess Danyang's mansion, she has to live to protect Princess Danyang's mansion from birth.No matter how dissatisfied, Wang Yi would still be smiling outside, and respect the emperor very much.

"I'm back, I'm back." Several maidservants waiting outside shouted loudly.

Princess Danyang's high hanging heart finally returned to its original place.

Even if Xia's mother reported that she was safe, how could Princess Danyang feel at ease before she saw Rong Chen.The person in front of him who is striding forward, with a smile on his lips, is not Rong Chen.

"Grandmother." Rong Chen reached the door, left Wang Yi behind, stepped forward with a few strides, and knelt down in front of Princess Danyang with a bang.

Princess Danyang stretched out her hand to look at Rong Chen's face.

"You hurt..."

Rong Chen touched the scar on the corner of his eyebrows: "It's been a long time ago." When he was in the mansion, Rong Chen deliberately avoided Mama Xia so as not to be discovered, but in front of Princess Danyang, how could he avoid it.

Princess Danyang touched it tremblingly.

Rong Chen looked at Wang Tang as if asking for help.

"Okay, everyone is back. Let Brother Chen get up and talk." Wang Tang pulled Princess Danyang away, and asked Rong Chen: "Did the army just arrive?"

Rong Chen didn't get up and replied directly: "Yes, we are camping outside the city now, and the general has gone to the palace."

"Hurry up and help your cousin up." Xu said angrily.

She is caring, but not suitable.

Wang Yi grinned, and stretched out his hand to pull Rong Chen up.

"Sit down quickly, I'll settle the matter with you later." Princess Danyang said bitterly.

Rong Chen pursed his lips and smiled.

Wang Yi said from the side: "Let me tell you secretly, as soon as grandma heard that you were back, she immediately asked the kitchen to prepare a lot of nourishing things."

Wang Yi's words made Princess Danyang's settlement suddenly lose momentum.

But Rong Chen didn't dare to make Princess Danyang really annoyed, so he personally helped Princess Danyang sit on the couch, and helped Wang Tang to do it next to her.Then Rong Chen knelt on the ground again, beeping his head three times.

"Good boy." Wang Tang's eyes were also a little red.

He secretly helped Princess Danyang with Rong Chen's matter, and his old wife was often angry with him for this.Wang Tang felt that he was a good man, so he went out to kill the Quartet. If it wasn't for the wrong situation, there would be no room for Wang Yi to be so unmotivated.

Now that there is Rong Chen, Wang Tang will naturally help.

But the helper is the helper. Although Wang Tang's affection for Rong Chen is not as good as that of Princess Danyang, he still really likes such a child.Rong Chen was also Wang Tang who watched him grow up step by step.

"Get up." Princess Danyang thought of pulling.

Rong Chen didn't push back any more, got up by himself, thought for a while, moved a piece of cotton wool to the side and sat down.

"What's the catch this time?"

Rong Chen said in a deep voice, "The general is indeed very prestigious in the army."

General Wang Qing was supported by the emperor to replace Princess Danyang and Prince Consort Wangtang in the army.The women in the harem are often related to the court.That's why Concubine Xian was favored so much, she was a bit arrogant and domineering in the palace, but no one dared to cause trouble, let alone sue.

Who told you that you don't have a good father?

When Rong Chen was in southern Xinjiang, he naturally contacted Princess Danyang's old department.

Many people directly hid themselves, but apart from these, most of the soldiers in the army were brainwashed into Wang Qing.

"This is not a good thing." Wang Rui frowned.

Princess Danyang sighed.

Several princes in the palace have grown up, and there used to be a prince standing there, although he was a target, but at least it kept others from acting rashly.

But as early as last time, the prince asked himself to be dismissed.

There are no other brothers above, and as a prince in the palace, you have to fight if you don't want to.And a fight is often life and death.The second prince was born to Concubine Xian, and Wang Qing held great power in the army.

If there is something in the future, I'm afraid...

"Have you visited the First Prince?" Princess Danyang asked.

Rong Chen was taken aback and shook his head.

"Not yet, after returning to the mansion, I changed my clothes and came here directly."

Princess Danyang pursed her lips: "Go and have a look."

Rong Chen was puzzled, but still complied.

Wang Tangdao: "Now there is obviously a factional dispute between the second prince and the third prince in the court."

"What about the fourth prince?"

Now there are four adult princes, except for the eldest prince who was deposed as a prince after he became lame, the other three princes are all capable of giving it a go.

In fact, these princes are all good and capable people, and they are also ambitious.

But if this is fine in an ordinary family or a powerful family, it is still a good thing to rejuvenate the family.

But in the royal family, it is a flashpoint.

Sooner or later, it will erupt and fight to the death.

Unless a coordination point is found.

"Fourth prince, I know that if you don't go to the court every day, you have taken a lot of beauties back to the mansion?" Wang Yi interrupted, he wandered outside every day, listening to operas in various restaurants, and did nothing.

A lot of news is delivered through him.

Rong Chen frowned.

Fourth prince, is this self-defilement?
Rong Chen saw the fourth prince once, but he didn't see himself at that time.Absolutely don't believe that the fourth prince will do nothing and let go easily.You must know that none of the above few are soft-hearted people.

Besides, with their influence, they would not think that the fourth prince would choose not to act.

"That Aunt Xu in my mansion is related to the Fourth Prince?" Rong Chen couldn't think of anyone else.

Wang Yi smiled awkwardly.

Wang Tang said: "Say yes, yes."

When Rong Chen heard this, he knew there was something else hidden in it.After talking with Princess Danyang for a while, I also talked about some things about going to southern Xinjiang by the way.

Rong Chen cast a glance at Wang Yi.

The two brothers left the house shoulder to shoulder.

Xu said worriedly: "Yi'er's Department can't hide it from Brother Chen."

Princess Danyang smiled: "I didn't intend to hide it."

Rong Chen was almost brought up by Princess Danyang herself, so how could there be no such information.

Wang Yi was dragged away from the main courtyard.

"Say."

Wang Yi curled his lips: "I know how to pretend to be good in front of grandma."

Rong Chen gave him a strange look.

Wang Yi inexplicably felt a chill on his neck, and said in a low voice, "I said it's not enough."

The two fell to a remote place.

Wang Yi said: "That day was quite lively. During the Qionghua Banquet, by the way... the sister of the kid you like also went, and performed calligraphy with both hands, and won a jade wishful handle from grandma."

Rong Chen's heart skipped a beat, and soon his face was expressionless again.

Wang Yi thought to himself that he was bored.

"He Jitong also went, as well as Sun Yichun. After that, Sun Yichun got engaged to the second lady of the Marquis of Weiyuan."

Rong Chen hummed, but didn't ask Wang Yi why he mentioned these things.

He has been away for a long time, and he has missed some things. Hearing from others is better than hearing from Wang Yi.At least you know what you need to know.

Instead of listening to a bunch of nonsense, you have to draw some information from it yourself.

"The fifth girl from the Yan family was chosen by Princess Hengyang to be her second son's concubine."

Rong Chen's alarm clock turned rapidly.

Judging from various performances, the people in Uncle Ruyang's mansion are close to the third prince, Sun Yichun and He Jitong are friends.And Princess Hengyang and Concubine Xian are good friends.

Just the fourth prince?
Really calm?
Thinking of this, Rong Chen looked at Wang Yi.

Wang Yi said: "I really can't hide it from you."

"All the princes went that day, Xu Lan met the third prince, but... the fourth prince was behind the scenes."

Wang Yi suddenly said seriously: "It is obvious that many people are following you secretly, and your words and deeds are in the eyes of others."

In other words, the people Rong Chen followed were also followed by those people.

"Then Xu Lan?"

Wang Yi sneered: "She doesn't know anything. But who will know in the future?"

Rong Chen nodded secretly, and after leaving Princess Danyang's mansion, he rode a horse and walked westward for a few steps, then turned back when he thought of Wang Yi's words.A quarter of an hour later, Rong Chen's horse turned around quickly and continued to walk west.

Since he is being watched by others, why bother to hide it, and simply come in an aboveboard manner.

Rong Chen understood why he was paid attention to, only because he rescued the former prince and ruined some people's plans, and only because he was the person Princess Danyang liked the most in the Princess House besides Wang Yi.

And Wang Yi couldn't do anything.

But he is different.

So those people are guarding against him, but at the same time they will also look for opportunities to recruit him.

……

Xu Lan was welcomed into the Rong residence.

Rong Tian is not in the mansion.Only Aunt Wu was there.

It's a bit like my aunt seeing my aunt.

Xu Lan adjusted her clothes and followed the servants to see Mrs. Wu.

"My daughter-in-law pays my respects to my wife." Xu Lan hurriedly bowed her knees when she saw Mrs. Wu.

The Wu family overshadowed the sky in Dongrong Mansion, and with Rong Tian's acquiescence, most of the servants in the mansion called her his wife.But there is nothing more comfortable as Rong Chen's wife.

Wu Shi smiled happily: "Your child can talk, and your mouth is sweet. No wonder you can be taken into the house by Brother Chen." Wu Shi didn't think about Xu Lan at all because she was blowing the pillow wind in front of Rong Tian, ​​so she could talk. Entered Rongfu.That's not what Rong Chen meant at all.

Xu Lan respectfully agreed.

The servants brought a piece of cottonwood over.

Xu Lan lowered her eyes, a stern look flashed in her eyes, and she only sat halfway in a respectful manner.

Wu Shi felt even happier.

It's a pity that a concubine can't get on the stage. When can Rong Chen's regular wife be able to join Xu Lan's acquaintance like Xu Lan.Thinking of this, Wu's heart accelerated the idea of ​​getting Rong Chen married.

"Why are you here?" Wu said kindly.

Xu Lan smiled: "It's not that the master is not here, I'm here to pay respects to the master."

Wu Shi smiled: "You are still sensible."

Rong Chen would never come over unless necessary.

But Wu shi didn't want Rong Chen to come over.

Every time Rong Chen came over, she could only be Aunt Wu, and many people in the house were afraid of Rong Chen.

"Ma'am, the master is back." Lu Xiang came in from the outside.

"Mother." Rong Xue also came in together, seeing Xu Lan who was sitting there, said: "Who is this?"

Wu Shi smiled and didn't explain, but pulled Rong Xue and said, "Your father is back?"

"That's not true." Rong Xue nodded.

Before the words finished, Rong Tian came in from outside.

Rong Tian's eyes stopped on Xu Lan: "Everyone else go down."

Luxiang responded and walked to Xu Lan's side.

Xu Lan lowered her head and followed behind Luxiang.

"Rong Chen is back."

Then came Wu's exclamation.

Xu Lan clenched his fist.

One day, I will become the next Wu family.

Do not……

I will be better than her.

It won't be as useless as her. After all these years, she is still an aunt who can't get on the stage.

But... Rong Chen is back.

Xu Lan was delighted, but also annoyed that she shouldn't be leaving the house today.

Because she pretended to be something in her heart, Xu Lan bid farewell to Luxiang in a hurry and got into the carriage to leave.

It's just that when he returned to the mansion, Rong Chen was not there.

Bai Juan poured the tea, and after Xu Lan drank half of the cup, he said, "Master, when the master came back, I also saw it over there."

Xu Lan's eyes lit up.

Xu Lan didn't know Rong Chen, she had never seen him, or even if she had, she didn't know who Rong Chen was.After Gu Er entered Rong's mansion, it's not that Xu Lan had never fantasized about Rong Chen's appearance.

It would be great if it was handsome.

Which girl is not pregnant.

If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have... attained the Tao that day.

Xu Lan's eyes dimmed.

But Bai Juan didn't know that Xu Lan was thinking of something else, thinking that the master was angry.

"Baijuan, tell me quickly. How does your master look, handsome? Is he worthy of our master?" Hong Ling said with a smile beside her.

Baijuan smiled gratefully, and said, "It's not the face of a white-faced scholar, but it's also handsome like a man. But... it's far away, and I can't see it clearly."

Xu Lan was satisfied.

She doesn't want her servant girl to be in close contact with her man.

……

The news of the army's return soon spread to Yan's residence.

Yan Jun didn't know where she heard the news, so she ran to Qing Huan.

"Are you going to Rongfu?"

Qing Huan frowned.

If it was in the past, there would be no problem, but after Xu Lan's incident happened.Qing Huan is very sensitive to the possibility of meeting Xu Lan when she goes to the Rong Mansion.

Yan Jun said seriously, "I haven't seen my big brother for a long time."

Qing Huan still hesitated.

Yan Jun's eyes turned red: "I'm sorry, sister, then I won't go. I'm going back to read."

Qing Huan couldn't help sighing, she didn't know where the kid learned the tricks.

But I have to say that I was hit.

"Go back and prepare."

Even if you want to see it, it's not this time, Qing Huan really wants to say that.

But even though I haven't seen it, I understand that Rong Chen may only have one day to spare after he comes back, and he will start to be busy for a while.

I'm afraid I don't have time to meet Yan Jun.

Yan Jun rarely asks.

Qing Huan really couldn't bear to let him down.

Qing Huan sent someone to prepare the carriage, and asked Man Cao to bring over a drapery hat.He thought in his heart that when Yan Jun was sent to the Rong Mansion, he would wait in the carriage.

"Bring a book." Qing Huan ordered.

Ling Lu should have gone to the bedside in the back room to get the book Qing Huan had been reading these days.

Yan Jun moved quickly.

After Xia Cao changed Yan Jun's clothes, she took a bundle and waited at the second gate.

When Qing Huan saw the burden, she didn't say anything.

"Let's go, tell the coachman to hurry up." It was already late, and Qing Huan was also a little worried.
