The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 509 Prince Jing's Mansion

Lu Chen poured Gu Chengyu a bowl of tea, and then drank it on his own.The coachman drove the carriage very smoothly, and the tea on the carriage did not bump.

Gu Chengyu took it, but didn't drink it. He must explain where he is going, right?Looking at Lu Chen's situation, he must have gone to an unusual place.

"Brother Lu, where are you going? At least let me know." Gu Chengyu looked at Lu Chen and said seriously.

Lu Chen put down the tea bowl and smiled, "You'll know when you go, your ci card has fascinated my friend, and I've been studying it for several days, I'll invite you over today, you must have a lot to say. "

Gu Chengyu was a little surprised, isn't Lu Chen's friend the Fourth Prince?Could it be that he was going to take him to the Fourth Prince's Mansion?No wonder he was asked to get into the carriage of the Marquis's Mansion, the imperial examination was about to happen, and if he was seen going in and out of the Fourth Prince's Mansion, it was inevitable that there would be disputes again.

Now that he knew who it was, he wasn't curious anymore.Picking up the tea bowl on the table, he took a sip, he could smell the aroma of the tea just now, such a strong aroma made a person like her, who is used to drinking good tea, unable to help but want to take a sip.

Seeing that Gu Chengyu didn't even ask, Lu Chen also knew that Gu Chengyu might have guessed it. How can there be any secrets in this capital?
Looking at Gu Chengyu's slender and white hands holding the tea bowl, he couldn't help wondering why some men's hands are so beautiful?This skin is also as white as jade, why does it look so female?
Thinking so in his heart, Lu Chen blurted out, "You are not a woman, are you?"

Gu Chengyu had just taken a sip of tea and almost spit it out, thinking that if he said this to himself in his previous life, he would not be able to kill him.But now he is a real man, and Lu Chen is lame?
Gu Chengyu angrily put the tea bowl in his hand on the small table, and gave Lu Chen a blank look, "Where did you say that? I look like a woman?"

He is fourteen this year, but his stature is not small. He is 1.7 meters five in his previous life. He has never seen such a tall woman in the Dayan Dynasty, and there are not many men.

Lu Chen also felt that this question was simply too stupid. Gu Chengyu was indeed a man, but he had a masculine and feminine face. If it weren't for those sword eyebrows, this would be a woman's face!Especially those peach blossom eyes and a small red mole between the brows.

Lu Chen thought that Gu Chengyu was a little angry, so he hurriedly apologized, "Cough! It's just for fun."

Gu Chengyu ignored him, but raised the curtain and looked at the scenery outside.I saw that the carriage was gradually driving towards the east city, and the places passing by became more and more quiet, and even the houses were connected together, which was bigger than the Wujin house that Gu Chengyu saw.

The houses in the five entrances are all long in depth, but the house here actually opened up the adjacent houses, and the horizontal direction is also extended.

It seems that they have already arrived in the East City, and all the people living here are the mansions of high-ranking officials or princes and princesses who have opened their mansions.

The house here occupies a very large area, and it is said that the chief assistant Xia Qing lives in this area.Gu Chengyu was a little strange, why did his teacher live in Beicheng?That house was bestowed by the emperor, why not in Dongcheng?However, maybe the houses in Dongcheng are in short supply?
After passing the house, the carriage drove on.It was only then that Gu Chengyu realized that not every house was that big.Some are similar to the houses in Beicheng, after all, there are fewer big ones.

After watching it for a while, Gu Chengyu felt a little tired, why haven't he arrived yet?The East City is really big enough, but it also indirectly shows that the Fourth Prince's Mansion has reached the edge of the East City.

Judging from the fact that the fourth prince is not favored, this is normal, not to mention that the fourth prince is in poor health, which can be called resting.

Lu Chen felt that the carriage was a little quiet, so he talked to Gu Chengyu about the fourth prince.

"He is not in good health and has been recuperating in the mansion. There are not many servants in the mansion, and they were all driven back to the palace. There are only a few personal servants and some sweepers left. The mansion is relatively deserted, but it is also comfortable. "

Lu Chen didn't care whether Gu Chengyu was listening or not, he just said to himself: "When you meet him, you will know, his talent and strategy are not inferior to anyone, only in his body."

The Fourth Prince never hid from him, so he didn't hide anything from him.Of course, they never mentioned about the eldest prince and elder brother.The fourth prince never asked, and he tacitly didn't mention it.

In Lu Chen's heart, this is the friendship that does not mix interests!But the fourth prince is not a simple person, Gu Chengyu can be sure.

He didn't know if he used Lu Chen. After all, he didn't know how the two of them got along. Maybe they really didn't mention the court affairs?

The carriage stopped, Gu Chengyu hurriedly looked out of the carriage, looked up, and saw the plaque on the mansion, which read "Prince Jing's Mansion".

The current emperor has not established a prince or made a king for a long time, and there has been a lot of discussion in the court.The princes are already weak, and they come out to open a mansion to live in. It's really embarrassing to live like this without being crowned king.

However, the emperor insisted on going his own way, even if the courtiers objected, it would be in vain.

The carriage only stopped for a while, and then hurried forward.Gu Chengyu knew that even if the fourth prince was not favored, Prince Jing's mansion would not be small.If the carriage doesn't drive in, I'm afraid it will take a stick of incense to get to the flower hall in the outer courtyard.

The carriage drove again for about half a stick of incense, and Gu Chengyu made the calculations. He probably didn't go to the outer courtyard, but to the inner courtyard.Prince Jing is not yet married, so there are probably only a few concubines or concubines in the mansion, not even a side concubine with a jade plate.

Gu Chengyu felt that Prince Jing's situation was better than being in an ordinary market house, and even he felt a little sympathetic to Prince Jing.

The fourth prince completed the coronation ceremony two years ago, and should be called Prince Jing now. However, the emperor thought that Prince Jing was not in good health, so he stayed in Beijing for a few years, and only went to fief the land when he was in better health.

Gu Chengyu feels that the next few years may be in the foreseeable future, but it may not necessarily be in Prince Jing's arms.

Gu Chengyu had heard rumors before that after the palace examination, the crown prince might be established.Why is it possible?Because the officials were already enraged, the princes had to be crowned princes when they were adults, and then the other princes would be crowned kings and let them fief the land.

After waiting for so many years, the emperor is not too young to wait any longer.Even Xia Qing, the first assistant, submitted the papers, and the emperor might not be able to resist the snowflake-like papers of the ministers this time.

The capital city is about to change!

When the carriage stopped, Gu Chengyu put aside the thousands of thoughts in his heart, this is the arrival.

"My slave, Xiao Chengzi, has met Mr. Lu." Lu Chen was already a frequent visitor to Prince Jing's residence, so Xiao Chengzi thought it was Lu Chen who was in the car.Except for Lu Chen, there is no one else who can be let in directly by the guards guarding the gate.
