Seventy-six

Xu suddenly changed places, Zhao Chengjin couldn't sleep a little, tossed and turned on the bed for a long time, and simply turned over and got out of bed. As soon as he put on his shoes and walked two steps, Shen Rong outside heard the movement and followed, lit a candle and entered the house and asked, "Lord Shizi?" ”

Zhao Cheng replied, paced to the table by candlelight, and said, "I can't sleep, so I get up and take a walk." Ah Rong, you go to sleep first. ”

Shen Rong said, "My subordinates will make you a cup of tea," and as he spoke, he lit a few more candles in the house, and then quietly turned around and walked out. After a while, he entered the house with a tray, in addition to a set of Ru kiln celadon tea sets, there were also two plates of delicately made small pastries, Zhao Chengjin glanced at it, and immediately laughed.

"You remember I liked this." Zhao Chengjin smiled and took a piece of mung bean cake and put it in his mouth to take a bite, nodding slightly, "It's still Chef Zhao's craftsmanship." Everything in the palace seems to be the same as before, even his favorite mung bean cake is still the same taste, but Zhao Chengjin knows that everything is no longer the same. It's as if his mood at the moment is no longer the simple boy he was three years ago.

"The prince wants to write?" Shen Rong saw that half a pool of ink had been ground in the inkstone on the table, so he couldn't help but ask in a low voice, and while talking, he took the initiative to come over to help him polish the ink.

"I'll write a letter," Zhao Cheng finished eating the mung bean cake in his hand, poured another cup of tea and drank two sips without hurrying, and said, "I still have some friends in Yunzhou, write back to report safety, so that they can rest assured." "There was a thick stack of letter paper on the table, and I don't know how many words were written, obviously not just to report safety.

"Tell me about what has happened in the capital in the past few years." Zhao Cheng said to Shen Rong: "I've been away for a long time, and I don't know what kind of situation is in the capital now. "The accident three years ago is not only the Qin family that has fallen, but the situation in the entire capital is bound to change greatly, maybe the only thing that will not change is His Royal Highness the King of Qi. Zhao Chengjin suddenly envied him a little.

The two chatted unconsciously for nearly an hour, and Zhao Chengjin finally began to feel a little tired, so Shen Rong stopped talking and persuaded him: "The prince should go and rest for a while, Ming'er has to go to the palace to ask the queen mother and His Majesty to say goodbye." ”

Zhao Cheng nodded and went back to bed to rest, closed his eyes, and woke up again It was already the early morning of the second day.

Lord Rui and Princess Rui were waiting for Zhao Chengjin to have breakfast together in Xuanning Hall early, and before the meal was finished, they listened to the servants in the courtyard and said, "The eldest lady is back." Zhao Chengjin's eyes lit up immediately when he heard this, and he quickly got up to greet him, and then he stood up, and saw Zhao Yanran rushing into the house like a whirlwind, and before he could salute Prince Rui and Princess Rui, he first grabbed Zhao Chengjin's hand, and tears fell down in tears, "...... Brother Shun ......"

If it weren't for the fact that there were still people, the sisters and brothers would just want to hug their heads and cry, Princess Rui also wiped her tears frequently, and when Lord Rui saw this, he hurriedly said: "It's a good thing that Brother Shun is back, what are you crying about, hurry up and sit down." Sister Yan'er too, came over so early, what about You'an? ”

Wu Youan is Zhao Yanran's husband, the eldest grandson of Dingguo Gong, and the son-in-law personally selected by Prince Rui. Zhao Yanran was married in March this year, and it has only been half a year since then.

As soon as Prince Rui finished speaking, Wu Youan had already arrived at the gate of the courtyard, and he stepped forward to salute Prince Rui and his wife with tears and laughter, and explained: "When I got off the carriage, I accidentally broke my foot, and when I looked up again, Sister Yan disappeared. ”

Lord Rui stroked his beard and smiled, "That kid has always been an impatient and fiery person." So this king didn't tell her about Brother Shun'er's return in advance, so it's no wonder she ran so quickly. "I'm afraid that Zhao Yanran will spread this matter lightly and seriously, making it known all over the city, but letting others take advantage of the loophole.

"I only got the news last night, and I was in a hurry to come over, but I stopped me." Wu Youan smiled, and after that, he turned his head to Zhao Cheng and smiled, and said: "I haven't seen you for a few years, Brother Shun is so tall, I just saw it, and I didn't dare to admit it." ”

Zhao Chengjin also hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

The family talked for a while, until the palace sent someone to urge, and then King Rui and his wife led Zhao Chengjin into the palace.

Entering the palace is still a lively place, the queen mother only got the letter last night, got up early this morning, anxiously waiting for Zhao Cheng to enter the palace, and kept letting the palace maid go to the front to check, finally waited for someone, did not wait for Zhao Cheng to salute, she had already gotten up, quickly rushed forward and hugged Zhao Cheng in her arms, "I am Brother Shun......"

Everyone in the hall cried, and Prince Rui saw the Queen Mother crying sadly, for fear that she would hurt her heart, so he glanced at Zhao Yanran, Zhao Yanran understood, smiled and stepped forward to hold the Queen Mother's arm and deliberately coquettishly said: "Grandmother is partial, and when I see Brother Shun, I forget about us, I don't follow." ”

The Queen Mother Ha Lu Ha Da smiled, "Don't forget, don't forget, it's all my good grandson, my good granddaughter, it's too late for me to hurt." This time, he finally let go of Zhao Chengjin, took his hand up and down, looked at it carefully, touched his face again, and said with red eyes: "Brother Shun has grown up." ”

Zhao Chengjin wiped his face, "It's the grandson's unfilial piety, which makes the imperial grandmother worried." ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" The Queen Mother immediately put a straight face to stop his words and said: "If you want to say that you are not filial, it is also your father and your uncle who are not filial, and you have been wandering outside by a child for so many years, and I don't know what the people under Lu Dao's hands do, and they can't even find a child, and what rumors are spreading......"

Prince Rui quietly wiped his sweat, and secretly glad that there were no outsiders in the palace today, otherwise, if the Queen Mother's words came out, he would be gone, but if the emperor put an unfilial hat on his head, those imperial historians would find something to do.

As he spoke, the emperor also led the crown prince over. The crown prince saw Zhao Chengjin from afar, his two eyes suddenly shone brightly, and he was eager to rush forward immediately, but he was more mature and stable than before, so he couldn't help but run around, and honestly followed behind the emperor, only squeezing his eyes vigorously at Zhao Chengjin, and finally had some old appearance between his eyebrows.

I haven't seen him for a few years, Zhao Chengjin no longer let the emperor hug him without scruples like when he was a child, and he was about to salute as soon as he met, but he was stopped by the emperor, and personally helped him up, nodded while watching, and then said to the prince of Rui: "Brother Shun looks a lot older, and suddenly he is a big child." ”

Princess Rui kept her head down and remained silent, and Lord Rui squeezed out a smile and said, "This kid ...... It's a lot of hardship outside......" As he spoke, his eyes turned red, and soon, tears slipped down, and he quickly turned his face to the side to look at it and wiped it. When the emperor saw this, his heart was also heavy.

However, Zhao Cheng didn't take those pains seriously, and said jokes as usual, "...... I had already guessed that they had set up an ambush at the bottom of the mountain, so I didn't go down the mountain, and turned back halfway up the mountain, so that those Hu people thought I was going up the mountain, but I didn't expect those Hu people to stop me, I listened to the meaning of their words, and I just wanted to catch someone casually and go back to the business......"

The Queen Mother was nervous when she heard this, and asked quickly, "Then what next?" Brother Shun was arrested by them? ”

"How can you!" Zhao Chengjin laughed, "Seeing that Hu man was going to arrest me, suddenly a voice shouted at me, 'Brother Shun, why are you walking so slowly, we have been waiting for a long time'......"

This time, not only the queen mother was surprised, but even Prince Rui was obviously stunned, and the rest of the people also looked at him together, the prince swallowed his saliva quietly, and couldn't help asking: "That...... Does that person recognize you? Who's that? ”

Zhao Cheng nodded and smiled, "I was also frightened in my heart, and when I looked up, I only saw two children, the eldest was □□ years old, and the younger was only four or five years old, and it was the little girl who shouted at me." Among those officers and soldiers, there was a catcher surnamed Meng who was the second uncle of the little girl, and there was still some prestige among those people, and when the Hu people saw that I was their acquaintance, they didn't dare to stop me, and after glaring at me a few times, they let me go. When they were gone, I asked the little girl again, and sure enough, I had seen her. He paused deliberately when he said this, and then looked around at everyone, and saw that all the big guys were staring at him with bated breath, and his heart was slightly satisfied, so he continued: "Brother Prince, do you remember that there was a small carriage in my house back then? ”

The prince nodded almost without thinking, "That's right, I asked people to make another one like that, but it is not as good as yours." ”

"It's the one who gave me the carriage," Zhao Cheng said with a smile: "The little girl I met when I followed my mother to Lingshan Temple to burn incense, she was only five or six years old at that time, but I didn't expect to meet her again in Yunzhou a few years later, and saved my life." ”

"She still recognizes you!" The prince was surprised and surprised, "How many years have it been, that little girl has a good memory." ”

The Queen Mother put her hands together and said "Amitabha", and said repeatedly: "It's really blessed by the Buddha, we have a great life and a great life, and we can meet nobles no matter where we are." ”

As for Prince Rui and Princess Rui, although they knew that there was a Meng family in Yunzhou City, they didn't know anything else, and it was the first time they heard about Xu You's rescue, and when they heard this, they couldn't help but feel a lot of gratitude to the little girl of the Meng family who had never met before, and said: "It's good to thank Lu and thank this family, this is a life-saving grace." ”

Zhao Cheng nodded and said, "Father, don't worry, I know it in my heart." After that, he smiled at the Queen Mother and said, "How does the imperial grandmother think Xiaoxue recognized me?" She didn't even recognize me, but she saw the cat badge on my arm. It was the one that the snow ball wore around its neck before, and then the snow ball ...... It was killed by the rebels in order to save me, I buried it in the forest on the outskirts of the city, and only left its cat tag on my body as a souvenir, I don't want to, and it is precisely because of this that Xiaoxue recognized it. ”

His throat was slightly stiff when he mentioned Xuetuan, but this time he didn't have red circles under his eyes or crying, but the Queen Mother wiped her eyes a little sadly when she heard this, and said sadly: "Xuetuan...... Is that the cat who came to the palace at that time? ”

Zhao Cheng nodded. Everyone's faces were also a little gloomy, when the accident happened, no one was by Zhao Chengjin's side, and it was a cat who had been protecting him in the last place, and even didn't want his life.

His Majesty pressed the corner of his eyes and let out a long sigh, "It's really a good cat." ”

Because of the mention of the snow group, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became a little solemn, and when Lord Rui saw this, he forced out a smile and said to Zhao Cheng: "The original animals in your yard have all gone to the grange to accompany Brother Ping, and when the things in the capital are over, you will also go to live in the grange for a while." After that, he explained to the empress dowager and the emperor: "Not long ago, there was a drought in Yunzhou, and some homeless people broke into Meng's house, and Brother Shun injured his leg because of this, and he has not yet recovered, so I want to send him to live in Zhuangzi, which can be regarded as a nourishment of his body." If you stay in the capital, you will have to have all kinds of entertainment, and it will not be good to push anyone. ”

Although the Queen Mother was a little reluctant to let her grandson go, she also knew that the prince of Lu Daorui was reasonable, and said while nodding: "That is the case, let Brother Shun go out of Beijing in the past two days, so as to save him from being tired." When I think of the hardships he has endured over the years, my heart hurts...... "As she spoke, the Queen Mother beat her chest sadly.

The emperor and Prince Rui hurriedly stepped forward, persuaded and coaxed, and finally coaxed the queen mother back.

King Rui's family had lunch in the palace before returning home, as soon as they entered the house, Steward Xu hugged a thick pile of worship posts and invitations and sent them over. Prince Rui didn't bother to open it, and said straight to Princess Rui: "Otherwise, I will send you and Brother Shun to the grange early tomorrow morning." ”

Princess Rui glanced at him, "You don't have to trouble the prince, the concubine and Brother Shun both have legs." ”

Lord Rui was blocked by her, but he was not angry, he only laughed twice, and quietly glanced at Zhao Cheng. Zhao Chengjin was silent, and the prince of Chaorui made an expression of asking for more blessings, and walked out of Xuanning Hall with his head down.

In the evening, Cui Yu, who had been married, came back to the house to kowtow to Zhao Chengjin, and when she left the house, Zhao Chengjin took a walk in the garden.

Bypassing a lush bamboo forest and walking a few steps along the lakeside, Zhao Chengjin suddenly heard a faint cry behind the bamboo forest, he frowned and didn't move, his eyes wandered around the bamboo forest, Shen Rong whispered: "It seems to be Concubine Zhang." ”

Zhao Cheng's eyes flashed, and after a slight hesitation, he took a step and walked in the direction where the voice came.

“…… Lord, Lord, Lord...... "The cry is getting closer and closer, expecting Ai Ai, like crying and complaining," ...... Wang Ye Mingjian, the matter of the second young master really has nothing to do with the concubine, the prince, the prince ......"

Rui Wang Ye sneered, "It has nothing to do with you? He paused, and his voice became colder and colder, "You dare to say that Brother Shun'er was chased and killed has nothing to do with you?" ”

Concubine Zhang's crying suddenly stopped, as if she didn't expect that Prince Rui would suddenly mention Zhao Chengjin, and suddenly she didn't react, and she showed her feet in an instant. Zhao Chengjin suddenly stopped, stood in place for a moment, then turned around again, and returned to Liyuan as if nothing had happened.

Early in the morning of the second day, Prince Rui personally sent Princess Rui and Zhao Chengjin to the Grange, and the group was vast, and the luggage alone was transported to several large cars, and there was a great tendency to live in the Grange for half a year.

The carriage walked for a long time and finally arrived at Zhuangzi, and the people of the grange had already received the news and were waiting at the gate of the courtyard, and saw the carriage coming from a distance, so they hurriedly entered the courtyard to report to the second young master. So, when Zhao Chengjin got out of the car, before he could stand firmly, he was hit by a small cannonball, and before he could react, another black shadow pounced on him, knocking him to the ground, and then, his face was licked by the passionate teapot......

"Whew-"
