Chapter 45: Pondering the Child

The story afterwards is that in order to play prestige, the eighth prince did not ride the foal brought by the horse slave, and insisted on subduing the fierce horse, and finally suffered by himself, causing the prince to be injured and bruised in the lungs.

The seventh princess originally promised to marry Zheng Zijun, the son of the old lady who was very favored by the old lady, and the two of them could get married, after the seventh princess broke the phase, Zheng Zijun threatened to never marry a lame and saltless girl, the seventh princess hated deeply, and impulsively sent someone to break the legs of Zheng Zijun, who went out to look for flowers and willows, and scratched his face.

The Zheng family started with military merits, and the nobles of the generations are in addition to the Li family in the army, and the second prince was originally to win over the Duke of Liguo, so that Concubine Jiang De created opportunities in many ways, and the seventh princess was originally born delicate and gorgeous, but the cardamom years are already bright and moving, coupled with a royal bearing, unusual women, Zheng Zijun is greedy for flowers and beautiful, and the thorny rose of the seventh princess naturally caused his conquest to win. desire, coupled with the intentional guidance of the second prince, soon the Duke of Liguo asked Emperor Ming Yuan for the princess.

As soon as this incident came out, the Liguo Mansion naturally would not give up, Zheng Lao Taijun even cried to the Empress Dowager Zhao, Emperor Ming Yuan originally did not like the Duke of Liguo to be close to the second prince, and scolded Zheng Zijun for insulting the royal family with wild words, and did not raise his godfather's fault, Liguo Gong was punished for one year, the seventh princess hurt people first, the prince violated the law and the common people were guilty of the same crime, and the thought was extenuating, and he was grounded for a year.

In this way, the Liguo Mansion can be regarded as completely hating the second prince.

It was originally scheduled that seven days later, the crown prince would patrol the border with the emperor, but because Liang Cheng was injured, he was accompanied by the four princes.

The manu who was on duty in the imperial field that day was later killed by Emperor Ming Yuan, but the princes and princesses present that day all knew that the eighth prince was killed by the seventh princess.

The second prince and the four princes have been at odds for a long time, and the seventh princess naturally can't get used to the six or eight princes who are following behind the four princes, and the eighth prince is looking at an adult horse and is amazed, sighing that it would be good if there could be such a mount, the seventh princess teased, so she asked the horse slave to hug the eighth prince, originally just wanted to scare it, but the horse was so fierce, and launched a madness on the spot.

Afterwards, Empress Li asked Liang Ji how he felt, and Liang Ji was silent.

Empress Li smiled lightly, touched his head, and said: "Being born in the emperor's family is the biggest misfortune in this life, if the emperor doesn't understand this, the queen mother can't protect you." ”

"Look at the six princes, how much they hurt the eighth prince, now they are still lying in bed, their hearts are sad, but they are just doing it for outsiders to see, no, your father and emperor pity Tang Zhaoyi for the loss of his young son, so he promoted her position to Guiyi, Tang Guiyi's father Tang Hexuan, the commander of Qianzhou Prefecture, was transferred back to Beijing, and was promoted two levels in a row.

"As for the four princes, not only did they ruin the second prince's plan to win over the forces in the army, but also replaced the prince's good errand to accompany the patrol of the border, He Youcheng is really good at planning, but I don't know whether the six princes and the Tang family will be a good dog or a vicious dog in the future."

"Ji'er, you remember, the royal family has never had any brotherly love."

Liang Ji returned to the bedroom in a trance, remembering that the sixth prince had been secretly paying attention to the royal field after the eighth prince went to pick up horses with everyone, he only thought that the sixth prince was watching out for the eighth prince, but now that he thought about it, Liang Ji couldn't help but feel a chill.

From then on, Empress Li no longer prevented the two brothers from contacting.

Liang Ji began to take the initiative to get close to Liang Cheng, and Liang Cheng only became so clingy when he was frightened, and he was even more fond of this brother in his heart.

If Liang Ji was close to Liang Cheng at the beginning, he still had other thoughts hidden in his heart, but the more they got along, the more Liang Ji could not defend against Liang Cheng.

On the one hand, he felt that Liang Cheng was different from others, and on the other hand, he always dreamed of the appearance of the Eighth Prince before his death, not only coveted Liang Cheng's love, but also constantly warned himself not to let down his guard, and gradually, his temperament in private became a little strange.

Liang Cheng's sudden renunciation was like a slap in the face for him, he thought about countless endings, but he never expected Liang Cheng to escape into the empty door. From the initial disbelief, to the anger and disappointment later, and then to the final suppressed acceptance, Liang Ji's intuition was different after seeing Liang Cheng for the first time.

Liang Cheng soon said goodbye, and it was not until Chinese New Year's Eve that Liang Ji received a letter from Liang Cheng, full of greetings, but did not mention a word about his itinerary, and Liang Ji silently burned the letter after reading it.

His prince brother was afraid that he was really tired of this huge palace, so he broke the jar and broke it, and withdrew early.

Obviously not even a half-grown teenager, Liang Ji exuded a sense of depression and loneliness all over his body......

On Chinese New Year's Eve, thousands of lights and trees are silver, and the strings are singing.

The palace invited the Chaochun class of Xifeng Courtyard to perform in the palace, and Liang Ji heard that the son of Sisi, who has been in the limelight recently, was also invited.

Si Gongzi is a qin master who has only recently come to the Eastern Capital, and he has been taught by Xian Taiyue in the qin, and his piano skills are superb, and his talents are amazing, and it is difficult to find a song.

Xifeng Yuan Xiaoyi master Lan Yan girl is the confidant of the son of the son, the son of the son of the house has stayed in the Xifeng Courtyard for a period of time, I don't know how many famous people, towards the name of the fairy disciple in the piano to see the demeanor of the child, but the son of the son of the light yì can not be seen, occasionally casually for the girl in the courtyard to accompany a song, the lucky feast of the ears of the Xifeng Courtyard customers, all admired.

On that day, it happened that the Dongdu poet maniac Zhu Yubing was present, and after the song of the poet maniac, Zhu Shimania inscribed 3,000 words on the spot, and the name of the boy was immediately spread all over the streets and alleys.

This time, the prince will enter the palace to perform, because he was invited by Wuyang Hou Meng Liujun, many emperors of Daqi are elegant, noble scholars, the so-called masters, virtuous winners, and there are many good stories between the royal and the nobles.

Meng Liujun was originally a foreign man, it is reasonable that he is not qualified to attend the royal family banquet, but Princess Yuehe is deeply loved by Emperor Ming Yuan, after the death of the horse, Princess Yuehe swore to be widowed, the world praises Princess Chang's deep friendship, Emperor Ming Yuan can't bear to live in the palace, so that she lives in the palace permanently, every year on Chinese New Year's Eve Banquet, will also participate, Meng Liujun has not yet married, Chinese New Year's Eve naturally has to accompany his birth mother on New Year's Eve.

In the Zichen Palace, Liang Ji sat on the left hand side of Emperor Ming Yuan for the second seat, second only to the second prince and the sixth prince, the eldest princess had already married and was not in the palace, and the fourth prince was stripped of his title and banned in the palace, and he did not attend.

He originally had a sister, Xingwu, the second year after Liang Cheng was born, Empress Li was anxious to regenerate a normal prince, but unfortunately it was a baby girl, I heard that because Empress Li was not well recuperated, the five princesses died soon, so Liang Ji did not see him as the fifth imperial sister.

The dancer on the stage was dancing in a neon feather coat, Liang Ji looked bored, then the second prince suddenly said: "This big Chinese New Year's Eve, I don't know how the fourth brother spends alone, sixth brother, in the past, the fourth brother walked closest to you, and he has taken care of you since he was a child, I don't know if the sixth brother can go to see him?" ”

The second prince's voice was not loud or small, and it happened to be heard by him, Liang Ji was not good at pretending, so he turned his head to look at the sixth prince.

Among several princes, the appearance of the six princes is also outstanding, Tang Guiyi's status was very low at the beginning, because of a face that is somewhat similar to the eldest princess, it only entered the eyes of Emperor Ming Yuan, the appearance of the six princes is seven points Xiao Mother, naturally not bad, in the past, following behind the four princes, silently, not many people noticed, recently it was quite valued by Emperor Ming Yuan, and he was given a title, and his temperament seemed to have changed, and it looked like it was becoming more and more beautiful.

The sixth prince smiled faintly and said: "The fourth brother has come to take care of me, and the sixth brother naturally wants to visit, but no matter how big the love law is, it is not as big as the national law, the sixth brother only hopes that the fourth brother can reform himself, and when the father and the emperor are angry, I will intercede again to see if I can see the fourth brother." ”

"The fourth brother would be very relieved if he knew that you remembered him so much." The second prince said words of praise in his mouth, but a trace of ridicule flashed in his eyes, "But I don't need to worry too much about the fourth brother, after all, you have something in the court, and the He family will not be too down." ”

Since the death of the Eighth Prince, Liang Ji has always been wary of the seemingly ordinary Sixth Prince, so Liang Ji noticed at a glance that the fingertips of the Sixth Prince's fingertips trembled, and a thought flashed in his heart, and he said: "The Sixth Brother has always been kind, and when he was still in the Zhilan Palace, the Sixth Brother sent the Eighth Brother over from time to time, and I envied it for a long time......"

Liang Ji said that later, a look of nostalgia and loneliness appeared on his face, but the corner of his eyes kept paying attention to the reaction of the six princes.

The other party originally had a calm and smiling face, his expression sank when he heard the words, his eyes showed pain, and he didn't want to mention it, picked up the wine cup on the case, poured it down, was silent for a moment, and said, "I'm out of shape for my brother." ”

Very perfect expression, I can't find a trace of mistakes, others see it, I am afraid that I will only praise the sentence "King Cheng's friendship is deep", Liang Ji sneered in his heart, but said guiltily: "It's my younger brother who has lost his temper, such a festival, he actually mentioned the sadness of the sixth brother." ”

"Ninth brother doesn't need to mind." The sixth prince shook his head, his fingertips gently rubbed the rim of the cup, his eyelashes drooped, covering the look in his eyes, making it difficult for people to distinguish between them.

Liang Ji mentioned the eighth prince, and the second prince suddenly thought of the seventh princess, his face was a little ugly, and he turned the conversation and said: "I heard that a few days ago, Wuyang Hou returned to Beijing, and the sixth brother invited him to enjoy the plum, but Wuyang Hou ran to Xifeng Courtyard all day long, just to listen to the piano music of the son of Si Si, the piano skills of the son of Si Si are really so good that everyone has passed on so well, and Wu Yang Hou specially invited people into the palace this time. ”

Liang Ji was slightly surprised, he didn't know when Meng Liujun started to listen to qin music, the six princes had little intersection with Meng Liujun before, as soon as Meng Liujun returned to the Eastern Capital, the six princes invited people to enjoy the plum, which is a bit worth studying.

The Sixth Prince: "I haven't heard of it either, but I'll be able to feast my ears tonight." ”

As soon as the words fell, a sound of string trembling came from the stage, like a golden stone bursting, which shocked people's hearts, and the three of them turned their heads, only to see a person on the stage in a high-crowned green robe, sitting on the seat, with a blank expression, and the sound of the piano leaked out of his hand like flowing water.

It must be extremely changeable, opening and closing to fight for yin and yang.

Hundreds of birds listen to wandering, suddenly like a phoenix.

During the banquet, everyone stopped and stopped, and they had no intention of not being intoxicated.

At the end of the song, Liang Ji came back to his senses in a daze, and then heard Emperor Ming Yuan praise loudly: "The sound curbs the clouds, the sound vibrates the four seats, the gurgling sound, the aftermath is endless, and it is worthy of the immortal disciple in the qin!" Reward! ”

"Grass people thank your majesty xià reward." The son of Si Si calmly thanked him, wearing a wide robe of ink and bamboo, and the wind was free, like Zhi Rulan, like a person outside the square.

Emperor Ming Yuan sat on the main seat, the momentum was not angry and mighty, at this time the mood was very good, so he said with a pleasant face: "When the first emperor had a long birthday, the respected teacher also had music here, I still remember the scene of the day, it is the aftermath of the beam, three days endlessly, after that, I felt that the world only the sound of the fairy in the qin can be called the sound of the qin, today I heard a song, I finally heard the sound of the piano again, I don't know where the master is now immortal?" ”

"Back to His Majesty, since the grass people were ordered by the family teacher to go out of the valley and travel the world, the family teacher has traveled around, looking for friends and asking, and the grass people don't know where the family teacher is now."

Emperor Ming Yuan sighed regretfully, praised a few more words, and let Han Yiyi retreat.

Liang Ji retracted his gaze, this Si Gongzi's piano skills are indeed good, and there are many piano artists in the palace music workshop, but no one can compare to the other party.

The second prince praised on the side: "This Si Gongzi is really a fairy figure, no wonder Wuyang is waiting for the day to visit, sixth brother, it seems that you are closed-door, and you are not a loss." ”

This is to satirize the six princes for winning over Wuyang, but the six princes don't care much, nodding and saying: "Yes, such a wonderful person, I also want to get acquainted." ”

Liang Ji saw that the two of them were coming and going, and he was bored, so he turned his head and saw Meng Liujun get up and leave the table, because Liang Cheng and Meng Liujun had a lot of contact, and Liang Ji had a lot of contact with Wuyanghou, so he thought that he hadn't seen him for a long time, so he left the table temporarily under the pretext.

The Zichen palace group is surrounded by water on three sides, the waterside is the garden, planted with strange flowers and trees, at this time in the deep winter wax moon, all natural things wither, only the green pine and green bamboo, still stand in the cold wind.

Liang Ji saw Meng Liujun walking outside the side hall, so he walked a few steps quickly, and was about to speak, when he saw a figure flash out from behind the cedar, it was the son of Sisi.
