123. The One Hundred and Twenty-Three Luck
The autumn hunt in the fourth year of Yongping was abandoned because the emperor was unexpectedly ill, and even the government was temporarily presided over by the crown prince.
Before, the attention of the civil and military officials was focused on the bombs dropped by the emperor, and the small meetings of the conference were held countless times, and the war plans that were easily made, and the emperor's illness at random was all stranded.
While countless people were disappointed, everyone didn't notice that in King Zhao's mansion, the eldest grandson of the emperor, who had attracted much attention before, died quietly. The death of the emperor's eldest grandson seems to have also hit his biological mother hard, and she was seriously ill in bed before the confinement was finished, and she also went with her son a few days later.
In those days, King Zhao had a gloomy face every day, and his cold eyes looked at everyone with cold air. Everyone understands that his young son died early, and he also took the life of his concubine. King Zhao's mother, Xu Zhaoyuan, specially recruited her son into the palace for this reason and carefully comforted, "The child was born prematurely, and his body was not tough, this is all a matter of time or time, and there is no father-son relationship between you." ”
King Zhao couldn't say anything, he was extremely irritable, and he couldn't lose his temper with his mother, so he could only nod silently.
Xu Zhaoyuan saw that his son, who was very talkative in the past, became a stuffy gourd, thinking that he was still in love with Wei Banniang, and it was difficult to say deeply, so he planned to find two more gentle and beautiful women to serve his son.
Xu Zhaoyuan didn't say much in front of King Zhao, left his son for a meal, and let him leave the palace and go home. On the second day, he called his daughter Princess Pingyang into the palace and discussed with her: "After Wei Ruren went, I saw that your brother was listless, so this is not good." I thought, do you want to choose two more gentle and sensible ones and put them by your brother's side? ”
Princess Pingyang has a very close relationship with King Zhao, but she doesn't have much affection for Wei Liuniang's sister-in-law, and she rarely goes to King Zhao's mansion on weekdays, and most of them go to King Zhao's mansion.
"Who does A-Niang want to choose? Is it an ordinary concubine, or is it famous? Princess Pingyang asked carefully, "Ordinary concubines, choose two of the palace people around you." If it is famous, it is difficult to choose one, and secondly, it is difficult to mention that the father is still sick at the moment. ”
Xu Zhaoyuan wanted to give her son two palace maids beside her, but when she thought of the emperor, she had to dispel this idea. "There are appropriate people around me, but your brother has a high vision, I'm afraid I can't look down on it." What Xu Zhaoyuan didn't say much was that most of the palace maids who served close by her side had accompanied the emperor, how could they give it to their son.
"A-Niang wants to choose two with better backgrounds?" Princess Pingyang raised her eyebrows and pondered, "It's really hard to find this candidate for a while." ”
"It's not that you have to enter the house immediately, so you don't have to be in such a hurry." Xu Zhaoyuan shook his head and said, "Don't say that your father is still sick, even if it is normal, if you release someone to your brother's side, you have to choose the one with a gentle personality and outstanding appearance, and when the family knows, don't drag your brother back." I thought, you are outside the palace, and you have a lot of contact with various little ladies, so I just want to help your brother pick two. ”
Princess Pingyang agreed: "Okay, it's on Erchen." "Princess Pingyang already has a candidate in her heart, just wait for her to take a good look and choose a few before she can return to A-Niang.
Princess Pingyang chose a little wife for her unlucky brother here, but Princess Yang'an had one head and two big. The matter of her sister Princess Xin'an was finally known by Concubine De and King Zhou, and the two of them scolded Princess Xin'an together, and King Zhou also rushed to Princess Xin'an's mansion and beat Princess Xin'an's two beloved heads to death.
Princess Xin'an was scolded by her mother and brother, aroused her rebellion, quarreled with Concubine De and King Zhou, and directly drove King Zhou out of the princess's mansion, refusing him to come to the door again, so angry that King Zhou stood in front of the princess's mansion and swore to the sky that he would break off the brother-sister relationship with Princess Xin'an.
Princess Yang'an was sandwiched between her mother, brothers and sisters, persuaded this and that, and made her head burnt every day.
Once, when he went to the palace with Princess Pingyang to visit the emperor, he quietly complained to his sister, "The fourth sister quarreled with the third brother again, I persuaded both sides, and I blamed me, it was really unflattering." ”
"The third brother is too, knowing that the fourth sister is a stubborn character, and he always comes tough, so he doesn't blame the fourth sister for being angry with him."
When it comes to her brother and sister, Princess Yang'an has a stomach full of resentment, she will envy Princess Pingyang, "It's better to be a sixth sister, the fifth brother will hurt people, and his temperament is easy-going, why don't I have such a good brother." ”
Princess Pingyang has a lot of affection, she also feels that her brother is much better than King Zhou, but she can't say this, she also spit bitterness with Princess Yang'an, "Since the death of the little nephew, the fifth brother has been depressed, I really have said all the good things, what should he do, which makes A-Niang worried." ”
Princess Yang'an said: "It's okay, isn't the fifth sister-in-law there again, and when another little nephew comes out, the fifth brother will be happy." ”
Princess Pingyang: "I hope so." ”
The two princesses walked and chatted all the way, and soon arrived at the apse of the Taiji Palace. At the entrance of the palace, Jia Le guarded the door, and when he saw the two princesses coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "I've seen Princess Yang'an, Princess Pingyang." ”
Princess Yang'an faintly heard the laughter coming from the room, and asked casually, "Who is serving in front of my father?" ”
Jia Le replied respectfully: "The crown princess has come down with a few little palaces. What he didn't say was that the crown princess brought the little princes over to accompany the saint every day. The little princes are young and lively, and even the faces of the saints are the most radiant.
"The crown princess?" Princess Pingyang blinked, "The last time I came, I also ran into her." However, last time, the crown prince and the crown princess were there, and she asked one more question: "What about the prince?" ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just gone to the front study, and Shen Xiang has something that His Highness needs to decide." Jia Le has all questions to answer.
Princess Yang'an and Princess Pingyang glanced at each other, and they both thought of their brother. is also the son of the emperor, the prince also has to take care of the government, or accompany his father every day, his brother is to the Taiji Hall every day to say hello and leave, compared with the two, close to each other.
"Yang'an and Pingyang are here, come and sit." The emperor wearing a large-sleeved robe, who didn't even have a belt, leaned on the hidden sac with a smile, and was grabbing popularity with a few little princes. "Do you want to play together?"
Su Yan, who had been excluded from the game by their father and son, read the book in his hand, and glanced at the father and son who were gambling from time to time.
Princess Pingyang rolled up her sleeves with a smile, "Okay." Erchen has been in good luck recently, and his father is not allowed to rely on his account if he loses. ”
The emperor had a good hand, and said nonchalantly: "If you lose, you should give your sister's fat powder money." ”
Princess Yang'an also sat over with great interest when she heard this, she glanced at Su Yan on the side, and invited, "Qi Niang, let's play together?" She saw that Su Yan didn't play before, thinking that she was avoiding suspicion. Who knows, hearing her say this, from the emperor to the little prince, their heads shook like wave drums, and the fat paws of the thirteen princes anxiously put on Princess Yang'an's arm, "Sixth sister, seventh sister-in-law is reading, and she has to keep accounts for us, but she's busy." ”
Su Yan raised his eyes and glanced at the little fat man with a smile, and got a well-behaved smile from the little fat man, "Seventh sister-in-law, do you want to drink tea, I'll make it for you." ”
"No need." Su Yan said with a smile, "Sixth sister, seventh sister, you can play with your father, I don't have good luck, so I won't go on it." ”
The emperor was afraid that Su Yan would regret it, so he hurriedly greeted his daughter, "Don't call Seventh Sister-in-law, wait for which of us wins, draw red for Qi Niang." "Hey, he won't bet with Qi Niang anymore, and don't play games with Qi Niang. From beginning to end, if he and his sons lose, there will always be only one winner.
During the period of recuperation, with incomplete statistics, the emperor has lost one and a half of the three library buildings in Ouchi, if he hadn't stopped early, the three library buildings would have become the private property of his daughter-in-law.
As for the rest of the little princes, there are all kinds of debts, and it is difficult for his daughter-in-law to write them all in his head, and there is nothing wrong with them.
Princess Yang'an had more contact with Su Yan before, and when she saw the emperor like this, she couldn't help but think of Su Yan's weird luck when they played red together when they were little ladies.
"There are new joiners, do we have to settle our previous accounts?" As the emperor of the winners, he said in high spirits.
The little princes, who were so embarrassed, quietly cast a pitiful look at Su Yan, hoping that the seventh sister-in-law could secretly help them.
Su Yan didn't say much, picked up the pen casually, wrote a few strokes on the paper, and handed it to Jia Xi. Jia Xi held it in both hands and presented it to the emperor.
The emperor's eyes widened, and he shouted at Su Yan: "Impossible, my luck is so good, so I can win so much?" Qi Niang, are you mistaken? ”
Su Yan's eyes kept falling on the book, and he replied with a little heart: "If Erchen is not mistaken, you have been in arrears before the third game." "Good luck is also good recently, who is the person who lost at the beginning and his eyes were red." Do you need me to report the specific results and arrears of each round? ”
The emperor shook his head weakly, "No, no need, Qi Niang will never be mistaken." "During this time, the prince was busy with government affairs, and most of the time, Su Yan led the little princes to relieve the emperor's boredom. In addition to knowing his daughter-in-law's excessive luck, he also learned her miraculous memory.
The thirteenth prince had a bitter face, "Seventh sister-in-law, I have lost so much again." "Why is he so unlucky, always losing, never winning. The little fat man awkwardly poked the twelve princes beside him, "Hey, why don't you never lose?" "Speaking of luck, he can't compare to his father and seventh sister-in-law, even if he can't even compare to twelve!
The Twelfth Prince's recent life has been very comfortable, and his previously thin body has also been well adjusted, Xiao Zhengtai, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, red lips and white teeth, smiled shyly, and whispered to the Thirteenth Prince: "I have begged the seventh sister-in-law before, let her blow on my hand." ”
What the? The thirteen princes' big round eyes were full of control, "Bad guy, there is such a good trick, why don't you sue me!" The little fat man twisted his body, held the little fat paw high, and rushed straight to Su Yan, shouting sweetly: "Seventh sister-in-law, you also blow fairy breath on my hand!" ”
Su Yan: ......
