Chapter 37: The Human Heart
Outside the imperial study, the sound of a waiter stomping his feet was faintly recognizable.
You can't go against the will of the queen mother to drive away or execute Grandpa Sun, a little punishment can still be implemented, so as to affect the innocent people, one is not too obvious to highlight Grandpa Sun, and the most important thing is that he has long held a grudge against the attendants around him.
The emperor dared to pat his chest and pack tickets, if the queen mother asked any of the attendants about him, they would never omit to see and know everything and tell it.
Although he was informed by the queen mother that his every move would not hurt much, he was very disgusted in his heart that he did not leak it willingly!
Active vs. passive, honest vs. hidden. The meaning of the realization is significantly different. The emperor thought so, closed his lips tightly and looked in the direction of the window with a blue face.
The wind is blowing.
The whirring wind blew through the treetops and eaves, and I don't know whether the wind was roaring or the treetops and eaves were raging by the cold wind and complained about the "woo" scream.
All of this, the emperor just passed through his mind, but in his heart, he really missed his beloved daughter thousands of miles away - Princess Ruxuan.
Is it snowing in Fengxiang in Haiyang City? Is it the same strong wind? I have never been a hundred miles away from the imperial city, and I have ever felt strange when I am far away? ……
In the palace, the emperor thought. Although the princess who lives in Liu's Mansion faintly misses him, she feels more about the enthusiasm of the people in Liu's Mansion for the "New Year", or it should be said that they are looking forward to it.
There are two days left, and it will be the Chinese New Year's Eve.
Liu Shangzhi and Liu Shangji, the two brothers, also returned to Liu's mansion one after another. Boy! The whole house was rejoicing again.
I like this atmosphere very much, Princess Ruxuan faintly found that this is not only a single-level expression of family affection, but also more of the cohesion that cannot be seen and touched.
Never experienced such a feeling, so that the princess easily caught its presence. The deeper understanding is that she and the royal brothers are incompatible with the people of the Liu Mansion, even if they eat at the same table or sit together and talk, it is difficult to integrate into them.
"I have spent more than 40 years holding on to my fame and my heart, and now it seems that I may not be able to get what I want......"
The third prince, who was holding the teacup to his lips, put the teacup down again and again, looked thoughtfully at Liu Shangwu's bitter face, and did not speak.
"Fame is a sedan chair that carries people! As for the ...... of your heart, do you still want to be a wicked person? Liu Shangzhi casually glanced at His Royal Highness the Third Prince, full of ridicule, and laughed heartily after speaking.
As outsiders, the princess and His Royal Highness the prince can't hear it, but Liu Shangzhi and Liu Shangji can hear the helplessness behind the laughter.
With Liu Shangzhi's laughter, His Royal Highness the Prince raised the corners of his lips and smiled slightly, and said: "Prestige, according to His Royal Highness's understanding, should be the official reputation and popularity, and I can't agree with the statement that the sedan chair carries people......
"That's it! Or His Royal Highness the Prince understands deeply! Liu Shangji didn't wait for him to finish, and preemptively said, "Second brother, you can really make jokes, it's just a matter of selling a big knife in front of Guan Gong's door, isn't it humiliating to sell calligraphy and paintings in front of Confucius?" ……”
This old brother, with tacit understanding, is as shrewd as a princess who covered her mouth and laughed at Liu Shangji's gag, secretly glanced at Liu Zuochen, who was scratching his head, and gently put down his hand.
Liu Shangji's words sounded like sycophants to His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and compared him to Confucius's very long-faced rhetoric. I was very complacent in my heart, and I comfortably picked up the teacup again and blew it gently, with an unfathomable style.
He could hear the meaning of Liu Shangwu's words, although he didn't say it explicitly, at least he also showed an attitude, an attitude that made him a good friend to the emperor, and an attitude that made him slightly determined in his heart. Although, Liu Shangwu said that it was maybe.
What could be more important than that? His Royal Highness the prince knew that the emperor did not send him to visit the mountains and rivers, let alone let him come to do nothing.
Whether he can find the problem, whether he can hear other flavors from the words of the Liu family, it is not easy to say...... but he knows that he will do his best.
Princess Ruxuan carefully recalled the words of Liu Shangwu, who was a suitable talent, and was faintly lost and helpless, which made her feel a little pity for him. She didn't know what was so important, why he was so melancholy, why he said it in front of herself and her brother, it was also confusing to her.
Thinking about the fact that her father had never sent her so far away from the emperor's brother, she suddenly felt that things were definitely not as simple as they seemed on the surface, as if something big might really happen, and it had a lot to do with Liu Shangwu.
What could it be? Thinking secretly, Princess Ruxuan secretly looked at Liu Zuochen again.
Looking at each other, Liu Zuochen smiled sarcastically, "In two days, it will be the Chinese New Year's Eve, dare to ask the two uncles, can you prepare the money for the little nephew?" However, it is necessary to make up for the New Year's money over the years. ”
This is almost sad to death, you kid is still thinking about that little money that can't be kicked down? This really made Liu Shangwu angry in his heart, and glanced at his son irritably, in front of the two nobles, after all, there was no seizure.
The old brothers who already knew about it were even more dumbfounded, what is the situation? Could it be that this kid doesn't know about it? I was thinking of setting a trap to trap His Royal Highness the Prince's mouth, but this kid is so chaotic, isn't it messing up the formation?
Thinking about it, it was impossible for him not to know, Liu Shangzhi rolled his eyes, "You kid are embarrassed to ask for money?" I don't dare to say that you are second to none in Daantai, and you must be one of the few......"
"That's it! This kid has already gotten into the eye of money! Pointing at Liu Zuochen's Liu Shangji, he smiled and looked at Princess Ruxuan.
"He's ......, he is so desperate that he makes me eat the cheapest buns on the street, and even buys me a sugar gourd every time he goes out of the house, just like General Liu said, it goes into the eyes of money, there is no doubt about it."
"Really!?" Suddenly, their eyes widened, and the two brothers looked incredulous.
Every day's sugar gourd is deceived from Liu Zuokai's boys, if you know, you still have to stare your eyeballs out of your sockets? Liu Zuochen slandered, and his heart was even more depressed, deliberately interrupting their conversation and leading them elsewhere, just because he was worried that Lao Tzu would make a lot of mistakes. After the Spring Festival, the princess and the prince returned to Kyoto City, and carefully told the emperor what they saw and heard in Liu's mansion.
His Royal Highness the prince was also a little angry because he diverted the topic elsewhere, and said in his heart, you kid is a real-stirring stick, and you have to stir up a conversation in Kyoto City and return to Fengxiang Liu's Mansion to say something! and my sister too, following Liu Zuochen's topic is actually a very happy conversation!
"Of course it's true, General Liu doesn't believe him and asks him, have you ever wronged him?"
"Oh! ……”
The two old brothers, who were invariably in agreement, opened their mouths slightly, looked at Liu Zuochen and then at Princess Ruxuan, glanced at each other, and secretly said in their hearts, why don't you see her panic when she shows affection in front of her elders? Judging from this situation, Princess Ruxuan's heart is still kind, but I don't know if it's because she just came into contact with it, whether it's her disguise.
