443. Housewarming
Even if he hurried again, Fujian was far away in the southeast, but Yunfu was in the north, and after walking for about half a month, the four princes walked to Yunzhou.
Walking through Yunzhou, as soon as I walked to Yunfu City, I saw the lively and lively people coming and going at the gate of the imperial city.
The fourth prince lifted the curtain of the car and looked at it, and looked at Xu Cong suspiciously: "Didn't you say that you were in a hurry to come back before, and you didn't communicate to your father?" Why did so many people from Chongxingmen come out to pick me up? ”
Although the tone was suspicious, it was more of a surprise, he didn't expect his father to value him so much.
Xu Cong was also very strange, stretched his neck to probe, couldn't see anything, and simply ordered the two little apprentices accompanying him to go to the palace gate to take a look.
After a while, the two little eunuchs came back and said: "Today is the day when Prince An moved to Yuxiu Garden, and it is so lively because the emperor came to Yuxiu Garden to give Prince An a town house, don't you look at the accompanying imperial canopy and Yan Yunwei's people......
The smile on the face of the fourth prince fell suddenly, and his face was as heavy as melted ink, as if he could drip ink with a casual poke.
"......" Xu Cong signaled his little apprentice to shut up, and glanced at the face of the fourth prince quietly, he was still too young, and his anger was easy to face, he shook his head in his heart, and asked softly: "Your Highness, should we go back to the palace directly, or do we congratulate Prince An by the way?" ”
When the fourth prince heard this, his brows furrowed suddenly, and his eyes were fierce, "What does his housewarming have to do with me?" Why should I rush to make a face for him? ”
As soon as the words fell, he saw Xu Cong look at him in surprise, he quickly came to his senses, the fierce color on his face immediately dispersed, and a smile appeared, "It's just a joke, the third brother is happy, how can I be absent?" Turn around and go to Yuxiu Garden. ”
Xu Cong nodded yes, and raised his voice to tell the coachman to turn his head.
When he arrived at Yuxiu Garden, the banquet had just begun, Chu Shaoyuan was sitting on the emperor's left hand, talking to the emperor with a smile, and the servants hurriedly came in and said: "Your Majesty, the prince, the fourth prince is back, and now he is coming to congratulate you." ”
Chu Shaoyuan secretly received the news that the fourth prince would be able to arrive in Yunfu this afternoon at the latest, he nodded, "Quick, go and add another table, just add it to me," said the corner of his mouth and turned his head to the emperor with a smile, "Speaking of which, Erchen hasn't seen the fourth brother for more than half a year, and I don't know if he is fat or thin, tall or short, I heard that he was infected with an epidemic, and Erchen was anxious, but he hated that he was injured and couldn't go to Fujian to pick him up. ”
The emperor naturally wanted to see his sons all brothers, friends and brothers, and looked at him with a smile, "I know that you have always been a good boy, and when the fourth child comes, you can ask him well." ”
As he spoke, the fourth prince strode in, and could see that he was dressed in the dust, and although his clothes were neat and clean, they were slightly thin, which was somewhat incompatible with the golden splendor of the room.
He stepped forward and knelt on the ground and gave the emperor a dignified salute, "My son asks my father to say goodbye." ”
The emperor smiled and asked him to get up, and he arched his hand at Chu Shaoyuan again, "Congratulations to the third brother, the younger brother just entered the city and didn't have time to return to the palace to change clothes, and he rushed over when he heard the news, the third brother should not dislike the younger brother for not preparing a gift." ”
Chu Shaoyuan replied to him with a smile, and said softly: "It is already the best gift for the fourth brother to come, I heard that the fourth brother was infected with the epidemic when he was in Fujian, I originally wanted to take you back to the palace, but unfortunately I was injured and couldn't go, how is your body now?" Okay? ”
The fourth prince gritted his teeth secretly, since he sent someone over, how could he not know if his illness was cured? Doing it so pretending to show others, I really thought that they were brothers and sisters, and they had to say good things about him, which was hateful!
He took a breath silently, and then smiled, "Let the third brother worry, the younger brother is already all right, but Xia Jinyu's body is not good yet, originally I planned to bring him back this time, and it also saved the third brother from worrying, but unfortunately there are many official affairs in Fujian, and he is not free." ”
Chu Shaoyuan couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw what he said, even if he died, Xia Mingche would not lose a single hair, at this time, he didn't want to think about how to behave in front of his father, and he was really short-witted in words.
However, he didn't plan to remind him, just smiled and said: "Second Brother Xia has always been a strong-willed person, he will not give up halfway, Fujian is at a critical juncture, if he is allowed to come back now, I am afraid that he will not be able to get over it in his heart, fortunately, the people of the Tai Hospital have already controlled the epidemic, and it is good to keep him in Fujian, we will wait for his good news in Yunfu." ”
Gently and skillfully pushed the conversation to his side, the fourth prince couldn't help but grit his teeth, he knew that he should have acted more ruthlessly in the first place, and let Xia Mingche die on the plague, so how else would Chu Shaoyuan do it in Fujian!
For a while, remorse filled the heart of the fourth prince, making him scratch his heart and lungs.
……
The summer wind moved slightly, and waves of heat were blown into the house, and ice kettles were placed in the first four corners of the house.
"It's really hot this year, it's not yet June, it's already so hot that the whole person is almost bad, fortunately, Yuxiu Garden is surrounded by trees, and there is a blue lake in the middle, it's cooler, if you're at home, you have to change your underwear at least a few times."
Xie Feiyun saw that not many people were paying attention to him, so he secretly bit her ear at Chanyi's ear.
Chanyi looked at her with a smile: "Just put more ice kettles in the house, I remember that my uncle's yard is not hot, when I was a child, in the summer, after eating at noon, I often slept on the mat." ”
Xie Feiyun also remembered what happened when he was a child, and said with a smile: "At that time, you still held me and refused to let go, crying and refusing to go home at night, you must sleep next to me, I don't know how much you were reprimanded by your aunt." ”
Hearing this, Chanyi couldn't help laughing, and said in a low voice after a while: "I heard that the eldest uncle already has a clue in Fujian, that is, the situation can be reversed in a few days, and the eldest uncle must be a great achievement at that time, and it is good to stay in Fujian or come back to be a court official." ”
Xie Feiyun's eyes rolled, and he glanced at the outer courtyard thoughtfully, "Since you say so, then there is really nothing to worry about, you don't know that your mother is about to become a frightened bird these days, for fear that a little bit of bad news will come back, even if any concubine in someone's family is pregnant, she will be terrified for a long time." ”
Hearing what she said so exaggeratedly, Chanyi couldn't help but say, "Whose concubine is so powerful, and being pregnant makes my aunt afraid?" ”
It was obviously a joke, but Xie Feiyun restrained his smile, and his voice was very low.
"It's the son of Liang Ge Lao, you also know this person, it's none other than Wei Yue!"
