==Chapter 161==

It's Chinese New Year's Eve again.

This year's Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet was still set in the Lin De Hall, the prince was sick and could not attend, and Emperor Chengyuan did not have the heart to drink the banquet, but showed his face and left. Emperor Chengyuan left, and this banquet couldn't last, so it ended hastily.

At the beginning of the new year, several major events occurred in Chang'an City.

First of all, there were several heavyweight officials in the court, and the first one to mention the succession to the crown prince was Ruan Chengmao, the right servant of Shangshu Province.

Ruan Chengmao has always cherished feathers, and it is a little surprising that he would mention such a thing. But if you think about it, you can understand the meaning of his move. Now that the crown princess has lost power, the concubines of the East Palace think that Concubine Ruan is the most popular prince, and even Emperor Chengyuan attaches great importance to this woman.

Who is Concubine Ruan, she is the eldest daughter of the Ruan family, if she succeeds the prince, she will definitely be named in the name of a concubine in the East Palace. Now there is only Concubine Ruan who has this qualification, except for the crown princess, is there anything else to say?

For a time, the court had a mixed reputation for Ruan Chengmao. But in any case, in the past, the matter of succession was just a small fight, but now it has been put forward by the right servant of Shangshu Province, who is known as the 'right ruler', and several officials have seconded it, so it has to be taken seriously.

There is a lot of controversy about this matter in the court, some agree with it, some disagree, and there are many people who sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. However, Emperor Chengyuan's ambiguous attitude also made everyone look at it, it seems that Emperor Chengyuan has made up his mind to succeed the prince.

Seeing this, many people couldn't sit still and joined in. For a time, the court was very lively. As the other protagonist of the matter, the Chu Wangfu is very quiet, and it looks like he doesn't care.

At this moment, another big event happened in Chang'an City.

This matter has nothing to do with the court, but it is just circulating in the market, but don't underestimate the power of rumors, and soon even many noble families will know about it.

A famous doctor came to Chang'an City.

How famous? Very famous!

It is said that his medical skills are very high, and he specializes in treating diseases that others cannot cure. After he came to Chang'an City, he cured two people who were going to die by chance, and became famous for a while. These noble family officials and nobles are all afraid of death, and they are naturally cautious about seeking medical advice and medicine, and they want to see the news again, but they know that as soon as this miracle doctor came out, he was invited away with lightning speed.

The person who invited him was none other than the King of Chu.

The king of Chu has a leg disease, and he has been poor for many years, this is not congenital, but a stubborn disease, this matter is known to the people of the entire Chang'an City, and the Chu Wangfu has not stopped looking for famous doctors for medical advice for so many years, but he has not found anyone who can treat his leg disease, and suddenly a peerless miracle doctor appears, and the Chu Wangfu will naturally not miss it.

Countless people lamented that they were one step slower, and many people were in the mood to watch the show, and of course, there were all kinds of speculations from those people. This miracle doctor seems to be very handy, can he really heal King Chu's leg?

Suddenly, the movement about the prince's succession stopped, and everyone's eyes gathered on the Chu Palace.

It's a pity that since the divine doctor entered the gate of the Chu Palace, there has been no more rumors. No one knows whether he can heal, whether he can't, whether he can't heal, whether he can heal or not. Because of this incident, the major gambling houses in Chang'an City also opened a handicap, betting on whether this miracle doctor could heal the leg of the King of Chu.

This matter spread loudly, which naturally alarmed Emperor Chengyuan.

Emperor Chengyuan personally sent a message to summon the divine doctor into the palace, and he wanted to care about his son's condition when he heard his name.

Whenever Emperor Chengyuan made a move, Jiu Niang couldn't help but have conspiracy theories.

She said to the King of Chu that Emperor Chengyuan must have no good intentions, if this miracle doctor said that he couldn't heal, he would naturally just do it, but if he said that he could heal, he was afraid that Emperor Chengyuan would attack this miracle doctor.

In fact, this miracle doctor must have been cured, otherwise the king of Chu helped create such a big momentum, why.

The king of Chu said with a smile, this is why he would create such a big trend for this 'divine doctor', in front of everyone's eyes, Emperor Chengyuan could not and would not attack this person. Even if he really had any thoughts, it was secretly operated.

The divine doctor was summoned to the palace, and Emperor Chengyuan personally asked him if he could be sure of healing the leg of the king of Chu.

The doctor replied, "Yes."

The crowd was in an uproar.

In any case, the divine doctor finally returned to the Chu King's Mansion unharmed, and began to treat his legs with the King of Chu wholeheartedly. The Chu Palace's door was closed again, cutting off the eyes of many people outside.

During this period, the palace of the king of Chu was extremely quiet, and the king of Chu also put on a serious appearance. The conspiracy or secret chaos that Jiu Niang had expected before had never happened once. Especially Emperor Chengyuan, there has never been a single moth, which is really shocking.

*

Jiuniang had a very comfortable life during this time, in addition to waiting for the king of Chu, she was taking care of her son.

With the passage of time, Mu Mu has grown up day by day, and now although he can't walk, he is full of energy, and the child who can climb can't afford to toss, and if he is not careful, he will be in danger.

In desperation, Jiuniang deliberately set up another room here in the main room, in which a huge bed was placed, and the bed was surrounded by railings, and it was covered with soft bedding. Whenever he has nothing to do, he puts his son in it, so that he is not afraid of him falling, let alone bumping into it, which saves Jiuniang a lot of trouble, and Mu Mu is also very happy.

Late at night, there was silence.

On the bed behind the curtain, the sleeping man suddenly woke up from his dream.

Rumo's eyes rolled silently for a long time, and finally returned to calm. He glanced sideways at the sleeping person next to him, still with the familiar face, but it made him feel stunned.

After hearing many unknown things from Xiao Ru's mouth that day, the dream that had been interrupted for a long time began to continue again.

The white tall horse, the red wedding dress, the scene of extreme noise......

He didn't know what kind of mentality he had in his dream, watching her get married. I only know that I am in a very bad mood, 'he' thinks it's a betrayal, 'he' has always felt that way, and even when she took the promise she gave to exchange for the so-called freedom, 'he' also thinks so.

No one can survive betraying 'him', and she is the only exception.

He hated her to the fullest.

But that's all there is to it, 'he' should be concerned about the cause, not a woman, a woman who is nothing more than a dog to 'him'.

And he sat in that position.

The hypocritical and utilitarian woman would surely regret it, he thought. Is it really that good to marry? 'He' could have given her more.

'He' knew that she was not doing well, and although 'he' treated her like a, the news about her still reached 'his' ears little by little.

In her spare time, 'he' sometimes can't help but wonder what kind of face she should look like when she faces 'him' again. Is it a dog-legged stutter, or is it a pretended suppleness? She has always been a little fox in his eyes, seemingly supple, but in fact the soft skin is full of thorns, and if she accidentally touches it, her hands will be full of injuries.

In order to see what kind of face she really was, 'he' gave her a title, Mrs. Rongguo, a thousand households in Shiyi, and 'he' felt that this was what she deserved, even though she betrayed 'him'.

She entered the palace to thank her, but 'he' subconsciously avoided it, and only let her kneel three times and bow nine times in front of Zichen Palace.

After she left, 'he' stood in the temple and looked at her back for a long time.

At that time, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, maybe 'he' really missed something.

In his previous life, he didn't understand this question until she died.

And the king of Chu in this life understood it early on, maybe he didn't understand it too clearly before, but he subconsciously grasped it tightly and didn't back down.

……

The king of Chu let out a long breath, as if he was about to exhale all the depression in his stomach.

The people around him had always felt shallow, as if they had sensed something, turned sideways and drilled into his arms, grabbed the hem of his clothes with their hands, and fell into a deep sleep again.

The king of Chu suddenly found that his son was strikingly similar to her, and both of them liked to grab people's clothes so much.

He pulled her into his arms and closed his eyes again.

*

When the king of Chu woke up, there was no one around.

He faintly heard laughter coming from the next room.

Put on your clothes and stay.

He walked to the place where the laughter sounded familiarly, and saw from a distance the huge bed in the room, she was leaning on the corner of the couch in a light blue dress, and the stinky boy who looked more and more like him was laughing while crawling with his bare ass, and he was still calling mother, mother in his mouth.

Mu Mu finally climbed to the destination with great difficulty, and buried her head in her mother's belly with a whin. After resting for two breaths, he continued to work hard to climb up, because he didn't work hard, he couldn't go up at all, but fortunately, Jiuniang was quite understanding, lifted him up, and sat on his belly.

Mu Mu was very cheerful, in order to celebrate his final victory, he sat on Jiu Niang's stomach and bounced up, and his mouth made a cheering sound. Before he could jump twice, the person suddenly flew into the sky, and he looked left and right for a while, and was thrown back to the www.biquge.info of the Biqu Pavilion before he could react.

King Chu glanced at Jiu Niang with displeasure in his eyes, obviously this was not a stare, but Jiu Niang felt that this was a stare. She couldn't help but feel a little weak, and said with a dry smile: "He likes to play this, so I'll play with him, and my son is actually not heavy." ”

The king of Chu glanced at the fat and chubby boy with disdain, and gave Jiu Niang a look, which probably means that which eye do you see that he is not heavy?

Jiuniang rolled her eyes and smacked upside down: "It's not your habitual problem, you played with him twice, and he remembered it." Now if you don't accompany him, you can only look for me. ”

The king of Chu didn't bother to pay attention to her, so he simply didn't have anything to do today, so he took off his shoes and went to bed.

This couch is very large, almost occupying half of the area of the room, not to mention lying on two adults and a milk baby, and then three groups can be fitted.

It's just that the king of Chu has always paid attention to the image, and this kind of indecent behavior can be avoided, and several maids who serve here in the main house also understand this, so when the king of Chu entered this room, he retreated outside the house, and the door was also half-closed.

Jiu Niang took two soft pillows from the corner of the wall and put them behind King Chu so that he could lean on more comfortably.

She now admires her whimsy more and more, since her son can climb, this place has gradually become the habitat of the mother, and it seems that the king of Chu seems to be infected. But this is really good, the place is big, put a small case, you can eat and read the accounts, and you can occasionally practice calligraphy on it, and at the same time you can take care of your son, which can be said to be counted in one fell swoop.

The king of Chu was treating his legs in the house during this time, and he had to do enough to do it, and he could go as little as possible in the front yard, most of them were in the main courtyard. When she got up this morning, Jiuniang saw that the king of Chu was sleeping deeply, and it was rare for him to be like this, so she didn't wake him up, and she first accompanied her early son to this place to play.

"Your Highness, shall I let them pass the meal?"

"You're still useless?"

Jiuniang shook her head, and glanced at her son who crawled towards her again: "This kid is energetic and wakes up early, I used a cup of rock sugar pear water when I got up in the morning, and I want to wait for you to use it together after you get up." ”

"Then let them pass the meal."

Jiuniang raised her voice and ordered to go down. As soon as the words fell, a small meat ball bumped into him.

She snorted and feigned pain, fell backwards, and then stopped moving. Xiao Mumu sat there stunned, looking at his father and his mother, the little fat hand pointed straight at Jiuniang, and shouted his mother vaguely.

King Chu was speechless, it turned out that she usually deceived her son like this.

Seeing that his mother didn't move, Mu Mu was in a hurry, so he crawled over and pulled her clothes with his hands. Just when he was anxious to cry out, Jiuniang sat up abruptly and hugged him into her arms at once. Mu Mu screamed, and then Mu laughed hahaha, laughing so much that his saliva sprayed Jiu Niang's face.

Jiu Niang put him down and slapped him lightly on his bare buttocks, "Go to your father." Remembering that her son couldn't understand the words father and king at all, she said, "Go to your father." After saying that, he went to wipe his face with a handkerchief.

Although Mu Mu didn't understand what his mother meant, he could understand this father, and when he saw that his mother looked too lazy to take care of himself, he happily crawled to find his father again.

Jiuniang couldn't ask for an heir in her previous life, but she gave birth to such a baby egg in this life, and she fell in love with her heart. Generally, noble ladies raise children, most of them give their children to the nurse, and they just ask for warmth on weekdays, but she is different from others. I'd rather not go out to socialize, but also revolve around my son every day.

She has no experience in raising children, she relies on her own exploration, and occasionally Mama Yu will give her a pointer or two, and gradually find out a set of her own experience.

Although Mu Mu is less than a year old now, it can be clearly seen that he is much smarter than a child of about the same age, and he can understand most of the words spoken by adults, which are relatively simple and often said, and he is very energetic. At a time when children are difficult to raise and are prone to early death, the child's energy is a sign of good health.

Mu Mu's body is indeed not bad, there are very few times when he is uncomfortable, and he is not like some children who are held in the arms of the nurse all day long, and he looks sick and soft. These are attributed to Jiu Niang's extensive raising of him, she never let the nurse always hold the child without losing it, including when she brought Mu Mu herself on weekdays, except when she was breastfeeding, she always put him on her own cot. If he is a little bigger, he will sit and move, so he will change to a spacious place, and now he will climb, and Jiuniang has never restrained him.

Adults can exercise more to strengthen their bodies and get less diseases, and children will crawl and move more, and their bodies will be better. Anyway, Jiu Niang thinks so, and now it seems that the effect is not bad.

Mu Mu went to lick his face and pester the King of Chu again, and here Lianfang began to set up meals.

They first brought a low square table and placed it on the couch, and then began to place meals on the low table in an endless stream. After arranging it, several people went down, leaving only Lianfang to wait on the side.

Jiu Niang went over to take her son off the King of Chu, and the family of three went to the table to eat. The king of Chu used it for his own use, but Jiu Niang took a spoon from Lianfang's hand, held his son in one hand, and fed his son with the other.

Now Mu Mu has not been weaned, but he has begun to add supplementary food, and the things he eats are a little strange for the King of Chu to see. It's not rice cereal, it's vegetable paste, not only the shape looks strange, but the color also looks strange. But Mu Mu ate very sweetly, and it took a long time for the king of Chu to get used to his son eating such a thing.

Today, Mu Mu ate a bowl of yellow paste with egg yolk added to it, so he ate it very fragrantly, and his mouth was chirping. King Chu's table manners are very good, and he has always paid attention to food and does not say anything, let alone eat and smack. He glanced at Mu Mu, who was sitting in Jiu Niang's arms, several times, and looked very uncomfortable.

Jiuniang glanced at him playfully, lowered her head and talked to her son: "Good girl, is it delicious?" ”

Mu Mu won't say it's delicious at this time, he can only say one word, eat. Seeing that his mother didn't feed him anymore, his little finger pointed to the bowl on the table, "Eat, eat." ”

"Okay, let's eat, eat to your heart's content, and the wood will grow strong."

This is another unbearable point for the King of Chu, Jiu Niang often talks to herself and talks to a child who doesn't understand, that's all, the kind of intimacy in the words is something that even in the face of herself.

Jiuniang fed her son, so she gave him to Lianfang on the side, let her hug Mu Mu to wipe his mouth and clean his hands and change clothes, and he picked up chopsticks and began to have breakfast. The king of Chu had already used enough, and when he saw her pick up the chopsticks, he couldn't help but use a few more mouthfuls.

The two put down their chopsticks on their front and back feet, and a few people came in to remove the table to clean up the mess, and brought water to serve the two to rinse their mouths and clean their hands. After some trouble, Mu Mu also changed into clean clothes and came back, and the family of three nested back on the couch.

Jiuniang sighed, this kind of life is really comfortable and decadent, she has eaten fat for a while, she can't help touching her little belly. I glanced at King Chu again, and saw that he was still tall and thin, and couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

"When does Your Highness plan to do so?"

This good naturally refers to good legs, that is, when the king of Chu officially healed his legs and dropped his face in front of people.

The King of Chu groaned: "Before Sheng'er was one year old. ”

Jiuniang only then reacted that her son would be one year old in a few days, and the first birthday was naturally going to hold a banquet, could it be that the king of Chu was planning to take advantage of this occasion to announce that he could already stand up?

"I hope there won't be any more moths then." Jiu Niang sighed.

Although she had a comfortable time for a while, her nerves were tense until there was no movement on Emperor Chengyuan's side, and she slowly relaxed.

King Chu didn't speak, but he understood Jiu Niang's concerns in his heart.

However, in his opinion, Emperor Chengyuan's side probably won't make any moves for the time being, and the healing of his legs is already unstoppable, and it's useless to stop it.

As he said before, the older you get, the more you have to worry about. As Emperor Chengyuan grew older, the prince's health became worse and worse, and the chaotic situation and the powerlessness that gradually got out of control had already made him chaotic.

The father is weak and the son is strong, this is an unavoidable fact, even if Emperor Chengyuan always regards his sons as things in his hands, which can be kneaded by him, but as time passes, the power of the sons is gradually growing, he is getting older, the power in his hands is divided little by little, and all the qiē is slowly out of his control.

Especially the King of Chu, who has always been regarded as a tool that he can use, is now disobedient.

With the three-legged situation, losing the only controllable corner of Emperor Chengyuan, who can he contain? Now that he is not contained, it is no longer up to him to decide, and the next situation should be spoken by the strong.

I'm afraid that King Zhao and King Cheng also understand this truth, so they are happy to see King Chu's 'leg healing'. When the three of them fight by themselves, it is better than pressing a Tai Sui on their heads, and it is better to prevent someone on the side from attacking them.

For Emperor Chengyuan, everyone endured to the limit.
