CHAPTER XXXVIII
The palace is the place where brotherhood is the weakest, except for the eldest brother and the fourth brother who died early, the only thing that can make him believe is the sixth brother Zhu Zhao. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The small red sandalwood incense burner placed on the table emitted curling smoke, and the child who once dragged his sleeve to tell his grievances was forced to grow up overnight after being reprimanded by his father, and it was not until today that he saw the long-lost childishness.
Zhu Xiang is five years older than Zhu Zhao, and he is already a master in the love field, and the sixth brother is surrounded by eunuchs except for the older housekeepers, and the shyness and worry of the first taste of love made his heart soften, and he gave Zhu Zhao tea with his own hands, and said with a smile: "What should I do, this little mosquito-like thing is also worth your heart?" Your identity is there, as long as you open your mouth, who would dare not obey? Gentlemen, looking ahead, what are you going to do so much for a woman? ”
The smile on Zhu Zhao's face was even worse, but his heart was full of emotion, after all, he was spoiled by the middle palace, and he never cared about what others thought in their hearts, and said softly: "The second brother's words are not right, not to say that I love her in my heart, just because I follow his father to study, I can't treat others badly, and I can't forget the kindness of Mr. to impart knowledge." ”
Zhu Xiang felt more and more useful in his heart when he heard this, and it was not in vain that he had loved him for so many years, how could he have the desire to covet the throne like this? This little thing, he naturally wanted to help as an elder brother, and immediately said: "The Deng family is just a prefect, where did you have the courage to block the prince's way, you can rest assured and wait for the good news." ”
Zhu Zhao shook his head, his calloused fingers traced carefully along the rim of the steaming cup, and his voice was low and magnetic: "Second brother, don't interfere, my father and the queen have high expectations for you, because it's not worth it to give people a handle on this matter, and I don't want to go, I discussed a way with Luo Changlin, and it should be done." ”
Zhu Xiang scolded with a smile: "I said that the son of the Luo family is not doing serious things all day long, it is okay to come and go, don't be contaminated with the crooked atmosphere on him, since you have your own ideas, I will not stop you, if it is difficult to succeed, come and tell me again, I am such a brother as you, I don't protect you, who else can protect you?" ”
It was this incident that made Zhu Zhao sad in his heart, Zhu Xiang seemed to be high, but he treated him sincerely and sincerely, and he had to use other excuses to cover up his thoughts in order to hide his thoughts. He knew that Zhonggong would not rest assured, and when the second brother went back, he would definitely send someone to check the bottom of Qian Yun, and his life would be better with the second brother in front of him. In the dead of night, he also thought about how he would face his second brother if it was really the day when the soldiers met, and his heart was as sad as a knife, so he hurriedly changed the topic: "I naturally know that the second brother is good to me, can the second brother bring Yao Linlang back when he goes back this time?" Her temper is like a firecracker that will explode at a moment's notice, and I'm afraid that it will scare my crush, so let her not make trouble for me. ”
"To tell you the truth, I was also entrusted by General Yao to bring her back this time. If you endure it for a few more days, I will always see that the matter in your heart is completed before I can go back with confidence. When you leave, you ask me to take care of the concubine, she is doing very well these days, you don't have to worry about eating and sleeping well. ”
The excitement and joy on Zhu Zhao's face instantly retreated, and he hung his head and muttered, "Second brother, did she ask about the whereabouts of my son?" ”
Zhu Xiang sighed, Concubine Wan was the most ruthless mother he had ever seen, she didn't plot for her son when she was not spoiled, and she didn't ask about the sixth brother after falling out of favor.
Zhu Zhao was really sad at this time, he had never been loved by his mother, the second brother was silent, he already knew the answer, and smiled weakly: "There is second brother Lao, I know." ”
Zhu Xiang couldn't bear to pat him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will find an opportunity to help you speak in front of my father, so that you can return to the palace earlier." You're not too young, and you should have an errand, maybe you will be treated by some top-notch concubines. ”
Zhu Zhao stood up and knelt on one knee, saluted and said: "The second brother treats me like a mountain, and does not dislike my younger brother, who does not dislike me, I have nothing to repay. ”
Although they are the closest brothers, he knows that his second brother must be comfortable in his heart, he has always been a person who stands proudly between heaven and earth with a straight waist, but now he has to bend down to seek the future. When he is full-fledged, he always has to fight no matter whether he succeeds or fails.
Zhu Xiang accepted his salute before he smiled and asked him to get up: "What are we brothers doing with that set of false courtesies?" I know your thoughts best, the second brother can't promise you anything for the time being, you can rest assured, when that day comes, the second brother will definitely give you supreme honor, gold, silver and jade, beautiful women and wine, I will give you what you want. ”
But said that Lord Luo wanted to find a person for his nephew to know hot and cold, and people who didn't dare to think about it were all vying to curry favor, Zhu Zhao invited Zhu Xiang to live in Luo's mansion, and just bumped into Lord Luo with an embarrassed face, and when he learned what happened, Zhu Xiang laughed loudly: "But to find a wife for the sixth brother, now it is no different from choosing a concubine, but it is interesting." ”
Luo Gordon's face changed, and he saluted: "How dare the lower official do such a rebellious thing, the second prince has wronged the lower official, it is really ...... It's hard to be gracious. I saw that these ambitions were not small, and I really didn't dare to respond, for fear of causing trouble to the six princes. picked and chosen, and only felt that the young lady of the Qian Mansion was acceptable, born in a scholarly family and knowledgeable and reasonable, but some gossips were already old things. What's more, the wife who can sit on your level has to worry about the noble masters in the palace, and it is inconvenient for me to point fingers and make jokes. ”
Zhu Xiang only thought that Zhu Zhao was the girl he looked at, and the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened a little: "I came by chance this time, and I happened to meet the good day of the sixth brother, and I had to be lively for a while before going back to my life." ”
When the prince reaches the age, there will be a palace maid of the right age to serve and teach them to understand human ethics, Zhu Xiang will be so happy is really this sixth brother is a little unusual, and if he is other princes, he is unwilling to shut up and have to bear it, but he blasted people out, and was so frightened that the two palace maids knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and the father couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it, but he didn't blame it, but only ordered him to go with him. So his younger brother is still a meat eater at such an age, and he laughs at all the brothers. Listening to his tone today, he thought that he had moved the idea of adding the Qian family woman to the clan, and it was a big trouble, and it was a big turn, so he said good things for the sixth brother and the queen mother. The sixth brother really shouldn't have been born in the palace, and he didn't do everything by himself.
The corners of Zhu Zhao's mouth twitched, he could hear that the Qian family wanted to give him the young lady, although he was down, he didn't think about treating himself badly, and it was not good to say anything at this time.
