Chapter Ninety-One
The most rare thing in the world is that it is intentional and sincere.
This point cannot be denied even by the Son of Heaven, who owns the world.
"It is the heart of the courtier, and it is also the heart of His Majesty who has been educated for so many years."
King Jin'an leaned over and said.
"It is also the filial piety that should be done for the sixth brother."
The Emperor nodded.
"Go to the queen and have a look." He said slowly.
That's the person who also needs to desire this filial piety, even if there is a replacement.
The king of Jin'an County responded yes.
Walking out of the emperor's palace, the night had shrouded the imperial city, the bright lanterns were lit, and the attendants in front and behind also carried the lanterns, respectfully and carefully guiding him.
King Jin'an stood on the steps and looked at the palace gate in the distance.
He reached out and wrenched his fingers, as if calculating something.
"What is Your Highness here?" A chamberlain standing behind him asked in a low voice.
"Count, days." The waiter next to him said slowly, with some confusion in his voice.
"What day is it?" The chamberlain asked, puzzled.
The chamberlain next to him did not speak, but looked at the young man standing by the steps.
Count the days you want to leave the palace, count the days of freedom....
November 18th, today's day, used to be the day when they crossed their fingers and counted many times, looking forward to the day that came, they missed it last year, they missed it this year, and they may miss it in the future.
"Go back to the palace."
The young man's voice sounded low, and the man also turned around and strode inward, the cold wind was fierce, and the night was heavy.
Entering November, it is the wax moon in the blink of an eye. The year is coming again.
This year, the atmosphere of the New Year's Festival in the palace is even stronger. Because the emperor was in a good mood. The body is also improving, compared to last year, when the atmosphere in the palace was low due to the injury of the second prince, everything seems so jubilant this year.
When the concubine walked to the door of the Queen Mother's palace with the eldest prince, she heard laughter coming from inside, and in addition to the laughter of the Queen Mother, there was also a strange laughter.
The eldest prince frowned.
"I'm not going." He turned around and left.
The concubine reached out and grabbed him.
"King Qing is here, why are you hiding." She said with an eyebrow raised.
"I didn't hide, I just didn't like to see him." The eldest prince said impatiently, "I still have a lot of work to do. I don't have time to play with a fool. ”
Ignore the concubine and walk away.
The concubine screamed a few times, but she didn't stop, so she had to give up.
"The fourth brother is becoming more and more disobedient." She said.
"Niangniang, that's because His Highness is becoming more and more assertive." The chamberlain next to him smiled complimentarily, "Yesterday, I heard that in the court, I dared to argue with the ministers and adults." ”
When the mother is always proud of her son, the concubine Niangniang smiled.
The concubine Niangniang stepped into the palace, and the Queen Mother personally fed King Qing a mouthful of soup to eat, but half of it was eaten and half spilled, which was enough to make the Queen Mother very happy.
"Wei Lang, look, does the sixth brother recognize the mourning family?" She said happily.
It's strange to recognize it. The concubine snorted in her heart and looked at the child with a foolish smile on her face. Smiled and stepped forward.
"Niangniang guards His Royal Highness King Qing every day, and King Qing naturally recognizes it." She said.
The king of Jin'an gave a salute to the concubine, and pulled King Qing to retire.
"Sit down a little longer, what are you doing in a hurry, I haven't seen you for a long time." The concubine said.
The king of Jin'an still said goodbye with a smile, and pulled King Qing to withdraw.
"It's not that I'm afraid of scaring you." The Queen Mother said.
Except for the occasional visit to the Queen Mother in the palace, the King of Jin'an County almost did not go out, that is, when he came to the Queen Mother, as long as he heard that other concubines and princesses came to meet the Queen Mother, he immediately took his leave.
"Where will I be afraid, don't wronged me, mother." The concubine said, and talked about the New Year's Festival again, seeing that the queen mother was in a good mood, she asked tentatively, "... Taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, the outer palace of the King of Jin'an County has also been renovated...."
Before her words fell, the Queen Mother pulled down her face.
"Trim what? He doesn't go out to live. The Queen Mother said directly.
"Niangniang, the king of Jin'an County is eighteen years old after the New Year." The concubine reminded.
"What's wrong with Eighteen? What happened to King Ping when he lived in the palace until he was thirty years old? The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and said, "Who is chewing his tongue behind his back?" ”
"No, no." The concubine hurriedly bowed her head and said, "I'm also kind." ”
The Queen Mother snorted.
"Let's not say that he just came back, just say that King Qing can't do without him, and the mourning family won't let him go out to live." She said.
There was a crisp sound, and a jade plate was broken in front of the concubine, and the palace maid outside the door immediately retreated a few steps to guard the door and prevent people from approaching.
"Say that King Qing can't do without him? Why can't you do without it? Can't so many people take care of a fool? ”
"Niang Niang is cautious!" Gao Dianyuan said with a heavy face.
The concubine fanned her hand to dispel the sullenness in her heart.
"I think he stays in the palace, Niangniang has other thoughts, now that he sees that the emperor's body is better, and he thinks about adding another grandson, and he doesn't look at how long the emperor's body has been better, so he will send those concubines to him, and he is not afraid of destroying the dragon body!" She lowered her voice and complained, "Even if someone is really pregnant, would it sound good to spread it?" The kings of Jin'an are eighteen years old this year! Other children's children are fathers at this age! When the time comes...."
"Mother, mother!" The more Gao Dianyuan listened, the more he couldn't listen anymore, and raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Don't die, how can you say this!" ”
"I don't say it, someone will say it sooner or later." The concubine snorted and said, she didn't dare to say any more, and picked up the marigold to drink tea.
Gao Dianyuan sighed.
"Actually, what is Niangniang anxious about, now that he is in the palace or outside the palace, what does it matter." He said, "Accompanying King Qing to do it himself, he earned the emperor and the queen mother's touch, got it, and lost it, as Niangniang said, the county king is now eighteen years old, and the book is not successful, and the person is not successful, but it is okay, and King Qing is also matched, is Niangniang still worried about such two wastes?" That's a real look down on them. ”
The concubine breathed a sigh of relief.
"Of course I know that." She said, relying on a few things, "It's just that I feel uncomfortable when I see the king of Jin'an, his eyes are like a poisonous snake, braving the cold light all the time, and when I think of him staying in this palace, I can't rest day and night." ”
is the so-called suspicious neighbor stealing the axe, cup, bow and snake shadow, there is a ghost in his heart, and he will naturally look at others differently.
Gao Dianyuan shook his head, he naturally couldn't say this, let alone can't say it, he will rot in his heart in this life, and he will never think about it again.
He twisted his beard and groaned, and his eyes lit up suddenly.
"The king of the county is eighteen years old this year." He said, "Otherwise, it's not good to delay this marriage event, it's not good to stay in the palace if you become a relative." ”
The concubine was also overjoyed when she heard this.
"yes, it's time for him to get married." She said, saying that she was a little depressed here, "I'm afraid that the emperor and the queen mother will be reluctant to break his son's luck." ”
Gao Dianyuan shook his head and smiled.
"You can't say that, the emperor and the queen mother are also compassionate." He said, "The king of the county has done so much for His Royal Highness King Qing, do the emperor and the queen mother really want him to be King Qing's nurse for the rest of his life?" He didn't have anyone to take care of himself, which was really strange and pitiful. ”
The concubine nodded slowly, and the smile on her face became thicker and thicker.
That's right, it's just a young man, it's time to find someone to take care of, the most intimate people in the world are only husband and wife.
The sound of crackling firecrackers came from time to time on the street, and a group of children ran over laughing, and Cheng Shilang hurriedly took a few steps out of the way.
The road under his feet was newly paved with stones, and although it had snowed a few days before, there was no mud on the ground.
Although it was not the first time he had come to Nancheng's side when he returned home, he was still surprised.
How does this southern journey seem to change day by day.
But it's not surprising to think that the lady did it.
A weak woman actually has three properties in the capital, she can do this kind of thing, and there is nothing she can't do.
Behind him the horses were loud and accompanied by the laughter of children.
"The archsteward is back, the archsteward is back."
Seven or eight children, big and small, were galloping in front of and behind a horse, which did not make the man with the appearance of a rich man wrapped in a fur coat and a hat on the horse impatient in the slightest.
"Go ahead and buy candy to eat." He said, waving his hand.
The little man who led the horse immediately took out a handful of money from his waist and gave it to the children, who laughed and cheered and ran away.
This Cao Da Steward is generous, and he is famous in Jiangzhou Mansion for half a year.
It's not so much about being generous, it's better to say that it's bad money, and he dares to spend what should not be spent.
Money is used to spoil it, this is the mantra of this Cao Da Steward.
It's not that your own money is naturally wasted, and you don't feel distressed, Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng have said this more than once, although the two of them don't speak, but they have the same opinion on this matter.
Thinking of his mother and aunt, thinking of the birth of two families now, Cheng Shilang couldn't help sighing, the brothers and sisters in the family, including his mother and aunt, all unanimously said that everything now was caused by Cheng Jianniang, and said that she was such a vicious and disobedient person, Cheng Shilang felt a little ridiculous, did they know the same person as Cheng Jianniang in their mouths?
Cheng Jianniang, who he knows, is dignified, beautiful, generous, gentle and polite, and is simply a good girl who has never been seen in the world....
Thinking of this good girl, Cheng Shilang couldn't help but smile, but then he was a little stunned and looked ahead.
Where the hell did this good girl go? It's really worrying that a lone woman has been out for so long. (To be continued......)
