Chapter 375: Expressing Attitude
Although the prince of Shu has now regained his freedom, he can live with his family outside the palace in the original Shu Palace, but the pomp is incomparable with before. If it weren't for the fact that he still had the title of the prince, the treatment he deserved would never be discounted, a pair of children were raised in the queen mother's palace, and he would often call his husband and wife into the palace to meet, he was no different from ordinary clans.
Everyone knows that the future of the prince of Shu is probably like this. He will only be the prince for the rest of his life, he will not have real power, he will not have a fief, he will not have a subordinate official team, and he will not rise, but if there is a mistake, there will be a danger of being dismissed. He and his children and grandchildren are destined to be idlers in the clan. However, with the care of the Queen Mother, the emperor is also quite kind to him, so under normal circumstances, no one will give him a look. Maybe there will be ridicule and ridicule behind outsiders, but you still have to be polite in person. It's not for his face, it's just for the queen mother.
Therefore, the prince of Shu has nothing to do on weekdays, except for occasionally entering the palace to visit the queen mother and a pair of children, that is, taking care of the sick princess in the house, except for inviting a few imperial doctors and doctors into the house to discuss the way of health preservation, no one will come to his house as a guest. Even the people in the clan, as well as the Tu family, would not easily come to the door, and he would not meet these people if he was fine. In his spare time, he would go out for a walk, go out of the city, go to the teahouse to listen to the story, and go to the opera garden to listen to the play, which is just a pastime. Because the opera garden sells an exclusive kind of dim sum, it is said that the princess loves to eat it, but every time he goes, he will buy a pack and go home. When others don't go, they will send people to the theater to buy them the next day, and for this reason, the sales of that dim sum have tripled.
said that the prince of Shu praised Xiao Dan of Tianxi Ban, and he did not have any special cheering behavior, he simply watched Xiao Dan's play a few more times, and he did not deny the rumors that the other party was going out to boast of his worth, so that's it. Considering that the dim sum doubled in value after being marked with the mark of the prince of Shu, most people felt that Xiao Dan just wanted to touch the light of the prince.
Yuan Tongzhi actually once suspected the prince of Shu. After all, he and Beirong's secret spies have appeared in the same theater more than once, which is too much of a coincidence. But other than that, there is little evidence that the two parties have ever met, and the boxes they have chartered are not the same, or even a little far away, and not every time they appear in the theater garden at the same time. This can be attested to by the theater owner and the guys. In addition, among the frequent visitors to the opera garden, there are other courtiers and princes and nobles, and after the prince of Shu appeared, he added a few more clans, but no one has a higher status than him. Without evidence, this coincidence cannot be presented as incriminating evidence.
Qin Hanzhen listened to Zhao Mo's words, frowned and asked, "That Xiaodan of the Tianxi class, is he really singing well?"
Zhao Mo smiled: "I heard that it is good, but it is not necessarily better than others." However, this Xiao Dan looks very good, so it has also provoked many people to praise him. However, because there is the prince of Shu in front of him, he doesn't dare to cause trouble. "The prince of Shu is a loser, and he is indeed an idler, but he can see the Queen Mother at any time, and he can also sue in front of the Queen Mother, if it is not for the problem of his brain, who will be okay to provoke him for a not very good Xiaodan?
Qin Hanzhen pursed his lips, a little dissatisfied, and asked again: "Is the dim sum in the opera garden really delicious?"
Zhao Mo tilted his head: "I haven't eaten it, but it is rumored that so many people buy it, it must be good, right?" He smiled at Qin Hanzhen, "If my cousin wants to know, I'll send someone to buy it back in a while, let's try it?"
Taste it, taste it. Zhao Mo sent someone to buy snacks, and they were delivered half an hour later. At this time, Zhao Mo and Qin Hanzhen had just eaten breakfast, and they were not hungry, so when they opened the oily paper bag, they saw the oily snacks inside, and they didn't want to eat it.
Qin Hanzhen reluctantly tasted it and commented: "The taste is indeed okay, but the oil is too big, too sweet, and easy to get angry." This kind of dim sum, said that the princess of Shu loves to eat, so the prince of Shu bought it for her every other day? If I remember correctly, the princess of Shu is not in good health? Even if she is a healthy adult, she will get hot if she eats this thing every day. Is the princess of the King of Shu blessed with a unique nature, her skin is not affected by diet and she is not afraid of acne on her face? Or is she planning to break the jar and break it, anyway, her health is not good, and she doesn't need to take care of her body, just eat and drink casually, and die of fat?"
She still has a pair of biological children, and her daughter is in that situation...... That's too big-hearted, isn't it?
Zhao Mo grew up with Qin Hanzhen since he was a child, and he already knew what acne was, he raised his eyebrows when he heard this, pinched a piece of dim sum, smelled it, and took a bite. After a while, he looked at Qin Hanzhen: "Could it be that the prince of Shu loves to buy this snack for the princess, is it really just an excuse?" Then he will send someone to the opera garden the next day...... Could it be that the drunkard doesn't mean to drink?"
If the prince of Shu just wants to take the opportunity to contact the Beirong people, it will be troublesome. At present, there are only three people left in Beirong secret spies who have not been caught, of course these three people will not be able to appear in the drama garden again, maybe they have already hid in the place arranged by the prince of Shu, and it is impossible to wait for the rabbit, and this clue has lost its value.
Zhao Mo sighed and threw the dim sum back into the plate.
Qin Hanzhen comforted him: "Don't be like this, even if the clue is broken this time, it doesn't mean that it is completely useless." If the prince of Shu is really the one who colluded with the Beirong people, he always has a purpose, either he is staring at the position of the royal heir, or he helps others calculate that position. There will always be a day when he will be exhausted. Otherwise, with his status as a criminal minister, even if the crown prince wants to pass the son of the step-clan, he will not be taken into account?"
Zhao Mo sighed: "I'm afraid that he is too calm, and the city government is not comparable to the few clans in front of him who have tested the waters." ”
He didn't say this for nothing. Because the grandson of the king of Shu is loved by the queen mother, even the crown princess has praised him for being well-behaved, and it is not that no one has ever tested the prince of Shu, wondering if he has any idea and wants to pass the eldest son to the East Palace. After all, the father and younger brother of the prince of Shu had this kind of thought, and it would not be surprising if he also had such thoughts.
But the prince of Shu denied it very frankly at that time. He said that he had only one son, and that he was the eldest son, that his daughter was disabled, and that his original wife was sick and weak, and that he might not have a second son-in-law in the future.
Does that sound familiar?
When Zhao Mo politely rejected the prince that day, he once said that his biological mother only had one son, and if he passed it on to someone else, with the temperament of his biological father, and the dispatch of his maternal grandfather's family, he was afraid that his biological mother would have no one to sacrifice. As soon as these words come out, even if the prince still doesn't give up on him, no one else will openly mention the words of succession in front of him without eyes, what is the difference between that and making people unfilial to their mother?
The same is true for the prince of Shu, who has only one son, and he has to persuade people to succeed, what is the difference between it and the incense of breaking people?
Because of this statement, the prince of Shu made the nobles in the palace look at him differently. The queen mother took pity on their husband and son, and the emperor also said that the prince of Shu and his father and brother are two kinds of people, indifferent to power and worthy of praise.
Regardless of whether the prince of Shu is really indifferent, anyway, the emperor said that he is indifferent, and he can only be indifferent.
Zhao Mo said to Qin Hanzhen: "You see, he said such a thing, don't say that I can't tell if he really has a problem now, and I don't have evidence in my hand, even if I have evidence, it is inconvenient to come out and report this matter to the emperor." That's a bit taboo. ”
Qin Han could really understand, but he couldn't help but be depressed in his heart.
Is it the prince of Shu who colluded with the Beirong people? If it weren't for him, who would it be? If it were him, and he said so categorically that it was impossible to succeed, he wouldn't be afraid that he would get away with it in the future and shoot himself in the foot?
At this moment, the prince of Shu Wang, of course, didn't think about smashing his own feet. He gently delivered a bowl of medicine to his wife's bed, and fed her personally: "This is the prescription that the imperial doctor has just changed, and the medicine is milder than the previous one, but it is also more effective." Will you give it a try?"
The princess of Shu looked at her husband with a complicated expression, and was silent for a while before opening her mouth slightly, asking him to pass the spoon containing the medicinal juice into her mouth, and then pursed her lips and swallowed the bitter medicine.
The prince of Shu smiled and fed his wife half a bowl of medicine, and saw that his wife had already covered her mouth with a handkerchief, coughing lightly and not wanting to eat any more, so he handed the bowl to the maid, and said with a smile: "Okay, if there is half a bowl of medicine left, let people put it aside first, and when you feel better, let the girl warm the medicine and drink it." Don't be willful, if you don't take medicine, how can your illness be cured? The two children are still looking forward to returning home as soon as possible and reuniting with us as soon as possible. ”
The princess of Shu closed her eyes and asked him softly, "Are the children in the palace?"
"It's good. The Queen Mother takes care of everything. The prince of Shu smiled and said, "When you are better, you can often go to the palace to see them." The Queen Mother, we should always go to greet An. The Queen Mother's grace to us, we are broken bones, and it is difficult to repay us. And the crown princess...... Every time you change the prescription, the crown princess has to see it herself, and she specially orders the Internal Affairs Office to send good medicine, and the daily supply must not be neglected. If it weren't for her kindness, we don't know how we would be looked down upon in our current situation. Although the crown princess has not publicized this kindness, we husband and wife should also feel it in our hearts, greet her from time to time, and thank her. ”
The princess of Shu opened her eyes, looked at her husband, and answered after a while: "Okay." ”
The prince of Shu stood up and said, "Then I'll go first, you can rest in peace, remember to drink the half bowl of medicine for a while, and sleep well." I've taken care of my body earlier, and I want to have a few more children with you. He smiled and touched his wife's thin cheek, "Don't be cranky, think about two children in everything." ”
The prince of Shu left, and as soon as he left the courtyard, the maid who was standing silently beside the bed of the princess of Shu immediately rushed to the bed: "Princess, hurry! Spit out the medicine!" At the same time, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his bosom and was about to hand it to the nose of the princess of Shu.
The princess of Shu blocked her hand, closed her eyes, and shed two lines of tears: "Don't do such superfluous things, it's useless......"
