Chapter 783: Ask Bingjian
Since he got this false position, the number of times the three princes went to the Shoucheng Palace has increased significantly, and they go on time almost every day, and Emperor Zhongyuan not only trusts him very much, but also appreciates countless things like water.
As a result, there began to be a rumor outside, saying that after this year's Wanshou Festival, Emperor Zhongyuan will divide several adult princes, among which the fiefdom assigned to the three princes is in the richest Jiangnan.
Naturally, how credible these rumors are, everyone can only wait and see, waiting for the Wanshou Festival.
It quickly turns to the end of May, the hottest time of the year.
In the summer in the Northland, it is better in the morning and evening, and there is always a cool breeze as a companion, but every time from noon to noon, the sun is very poisonous, and it can almost dry off a layer of skin.
At the beginning of the afternoon on this day, in front of the gate of the Shoucheng Palace, a group of people came out as scheduled, and it was His Royal Highness the Third Prince.
It should be noted that due to the hot weather, Emperor Zhongyuan changed the time to meet the courtiers, and every day was in the morning.
After stepping out of the palace gate of Shoucheng Palace, the three princes did not leave, but led the servants to stand outside the hall, knelt down to the inside, and bowed to the whole before getting up and standing under the corridor.
Outside the gate of the Shoucheng Palace, there is a long platform. Standing on the platform and looking down, on the empty mud ground below, the sun is spreading all over the ground, stabbing people's eyes can't open.
The third prince covered his hands in front of his eyes, looked at the palace road in the distance with empty eyes, and there was a smile on his handsome face.
"Your Highness, are you going to leave like this?" asked Jin Youping, the chief eunuch who was standing beside him, as he raised his sleeves and wiped his sweat.
The weather was really hot, and the large open space was scorched by the sun, and the feet stepped on it and burned it, as if it could burn people. He had just tried to take a few steps, but it was really hot.
The third prince straightened his clothes for a long time, put his hands behind his back, and glanced at him with a smile: "That's it." In front of my father, how can I have my share? How can I show off my little guard of honor in front of my father?"
This is a decision to walk, and even the canopy or umbrella is not willing to use.
Although this is the case every day, Jin Youping still feels a little sorry for his master.
"Why don't I ask someone to bring a pocket?" he said tentatively, looking at the third prince with love and pity in his eyes.
The third prince shook his head: "No need, just go." ”
Jin Youping didn't dare to insist any longer, bowed down to answer, and was a little worried, so he took a feather fan from the hands of the little palace people, which could cover the top of the head of the third prince, and looked at the open space in front of him, and frowned: "Your Highness still has to be careful, this weather is hot, and it is most likely to suffer from heat stroke." ”
"No, I'm not muddy. The third prince waved his hand and stepped down the stone steps first.
Jin Youping hurriedly followed, holding the fan high, covering a small shadow for the master, but still a little uneasy, and asked cautiously: "Your Highness, do you want me to ask someone to go back first, prepare soup and pills to relieve the heat, and then ask someone to move the copper ice jian into the main hall?"
The third prince strode forward, and when he heard the words, he smiled: "Cheng, it's up to you." After a pause, the smile gradually dissipated, and a layer of worry gathered on his face: "Madame is also sick now, you should ask people to watch more." There's an ice in her hall, right?"
The voice of concern was very warm, and even his expression was very warm, and the peach blossom eyes showed softness and pity, and the more he looked handsome, gentle and understanding, it was Lang who was affectionate.
Jin Youping bowed: "Your Highness, don't worry, Madame has the biggest ice kin there." It's just that the doctor also said that the lady is weak, and the ice should not be used more, only for one or two hours during the hottest time of the day, and then it can be moved out, otherwise it is not suitable for the body. ”
When he said this, he sighed, but his eyes were red.
He followed the third prince since he was a child, and the two of them had a deep relationship, and the third prince treated him very well, so after hearing that Xie's had a slippery tire, he, the inner prisoner, was even sadder than the master.
The third prince lacked a sister-in-law under his knees, and Xie's pregnancy was a great joy. It's a pity that God sent down this opportunity, but ruthlessly took it back. And this feeling of gaining and losing is really unbearable.
After listening to Jin Youping's words, a little sadness appeared on the faces of the three princes, and the face that was still full of spirit was already full of affection at this time: "I also know that Mrs. is sad, but this is the will of God, and the will of God is difficult to violate, and manpower is always out of reach." I'm just sad...... It's also useless. ”
He took his sleeve and imprinted it in the corner of his eye, and sighed deeply.
Jin Youping also sighed, but he didn't dare to say anything more, for fear of arousing his sadness, so he only tried his best to cover the fan on his head, and whispered comfort: "Your Highness, forgive me, I'm talking nonsense here again." Your Highness don't have to think about it anymore, Your Highness and his wife are young, and there will always be opportunities in the future. ”
"That's what Eunuch Jin said. The sadness on the third prince's face faded, he shook his sleeves, and sighed: "It's a pity that Madame has always been unhappy lately, no matter what I do or say, I can't get Madame to laugh." Her thoughts are so difficult to understand, but it also makes me worry. ”
He sighed again and again, with a worried face, the so-called flounder is deep, but it is nothing more than that.
Jin Youping also sighed, his eyes were red, and he seemed to be even more sad than the third prince.
The sun poured down, dragging the figure of this group to the ground, and the heat steam up, but pulled the shadow a little distorted, until after walking out of the open space in front of the Shoucheng Palace, there was willow shade hanging on the side of the road, leaving a place of coolness.
Walking here, Jin Youping finally took back the fan, wiped the sweat while ordering a small eunuch to go to Guangming Palace to prepare, and took an embroidered brocade scarf from the plate of the little eunuch holding the scarf, wiped the sweat for the third prince, and his face was full of emotion: "Your Royal Highness is really pure filial piety, and His Royal Highness will abide by this rule in this palace." ”
"It's just a trivial matter. The third prince's face did not move, he raised his hand lightly, curled his lips and smiled: "Don't always talk about it, let people hear it, think I'm frivolous." ”
When he said this, Jin Youping was still full of kindness, put away the cloth towel, bowed behind him, and the group walked quietly, without saying a word.
Because the three princes have to go out every day, when they go back, the main gate of the right road of Guangming Palace has been ajar, and a group of palace people are waiting outside the door to greet them.
The third prince led the people and was about to climb the stairs, when he suddenly heard a voice behind him: "Oh, the third emperor brother has just come back?"
