67. Taifu, is it good to marry me? (xv)
When Heng Rui saw Emperor Yuan Jing, his face was full of surprise, and his eyes were full of admiration for Emperor Yuan Jing.
Emperor Yuan Jing's heart suddenly softened.
He has never been close to the princes, and this time he was unprecedentedly short, and gently stroked Heng Rui's little head, and his voice was full of smiles, "What, it's nice to see my father?"
Heng Rui hesitated for a moment, but he still didn't control the desire in his heart, and gently rubbed it in Emperor Yuanjing's palm.
"It's really nice to see my father," said with some surprise and caution in his tone.
Emperor Yuan Jing's palm was slightly itchy, but his heart was even more uncomfortable, and he was a little distressed, but there were still some doubts and temptations in his words, "This is the second time you have seen your father, how can you think of your father so much?"
"The mother concubine often tells the emperor about you, she says that you are the greatest person in the world", Heng Rui said seriously and happily, and then his expression slowly dimmed, "The mother concubine also told me before she died that you must be filial to you." ”
The last bit of doubt in Emperor Yuan Jing's heart disappeared, and he sighed slightly, recalling the beautiful and gentle woman. If she hadn't been too angry because of her maiden family at that time, but had ordered more checks, I'm afraid that woman would be very happy with her emperor now.
The relationship more than ten years ago is particularly deep and sincere in recall, and the little temper that made Concubine Hui quite annoying at that time is also extremely beautiful when I think about it now. Lost things are always nostalgic, and the more nostalgic you are, the deeper your feelings become.
And now all this affection has been transferred to Hengrui, a son who has not seen him for many years.
"Your mother is a gentle and kind good woman", Emperor Yuan Jingdi's eyes became softer and softer when he looked at Heng Rui, "It was my father's fault in the past, I failed to take good care of your mother and son, and my father will protect you in the future." ”
Heng Rui shook his head seriously, "The mother concubine said that the father will never be wrong, and no matter what the father does, he must have your reason!" ”
Hearing this, Emperor Yuan Jing couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, how long has he not felt this kind of trust and dependence for no reason?
He couldn't help but think of the prince he trusted and loved.
The crown prince has become more and more unsuccessful recently, and as the prince of a country, he actually embezzled the life-saving money of the victims! When he saw the results of the investigation, he was furious, and without thinking about it, he called the prince over to confront him. But the prince repeatedly denied it, and even angrily accused himself of partiality and poured dirty water on him. In his heart, he threw all the evidence on him, and the prince cried to himself.
When did that smart and upright child become what he is now?
Compared with the two, although Emperor Yuan Jing saw this son for the second time, he already had a very deep affection for him.
Who doesn't love a son who trusts and admires him wholeheartedly?
After Emperor Yuan Jing left, the joy on Heng Rui's face disappeared in an instant, and the indifference made the palace people next to him feel cold.
Heng Rui's cold eyes glanced at him, "Go down"
The palace people hurriedly bowed and retreated. This person is the palace people near the original Cold Palace, and Emperor Yuan Jing in order to make Heng Rui adapt to it, he transferred a few palace people from the original Cold Palace to serve by Heng Rui's side.
These people all know Heng Rui's true temperament, although they are not loyal to him, they will never rebel, so Heng Rui has nothing to hide in front of them.
Heng Rui suddenly laughed gloomily.
His only impression of the woman he called his mother was crying, nothing but crying. As for the gentleness and kindness in the man's mouth, he didn't feel it at all.
If it weren't for a kind-hearted palace maid who brought herself to be more than three years old, I'm afraid that she would have died just after birth.
It's a pity that good people don't live long, the coldness in Heng Rui's eyes became more and more intense, he was the only one who was good to him, but he watched her swallow her breath in front of him.
I heard that she had collided with the saint, and the saint was merciful and did not directly execute her, but let people beat her with a hundred boards.
Emperor Yuan Jing, who had deprived him of a qiē, now told him that he would protect himself, how could he believe it?
――――――
Emperor Yuan Jing's arrangement for Heng Rui was very fast, and he was sent to the place where the princes specialized in studying the next day.
He has not been taught for twelve years, and his knowledge is like a child. Although Emperor Yuan Jing was quite fond of Hengrui in his heart, this fact made him feel embarrassed.
He couldn't bear that his son was not even as good as a six-year-old child, especially when he said to the outside world that the Nine Emperors had just returned from studying with the masters, so Emperor Yuan Jing did not show up after Hengrui entered the school.
Until one day, when Emperor Yuan Jing went to the school to inspect the learning process of other princes, the teacher who taught was pleasantly surprised to report to Emperor Yuan Jing the outstanding talent of the Nine Emperor Prince Heng Rui, and Emperor Yuan Jing re-cast his attention on Heng Rui.
Brilliant and unforgettable, this is the son of his dignified king.
Since then, Emperor Yuan Jing has attached twelve points of importance to Hengrui, which makes the other princes all very jealous. There are endless things like ridicule and finding fault, but Hengrui has never been angry, just humbly avoided. Among these people who find faults, the strictest is Prince Hengming.
The change in Emperor Yuanjing's attitude towards him was very obvious to the crown prince. Emperor Yuan Jing's original favor for him is now all poured into a prince who ran out inexplicably, which makes the prince have a strong sense of crisis.
Although the crown prince was no longer in the academy, he signaled to the sixth and seventh princes, who had always been close to him, and asked them to "take good care" of this new imperial brother.
The palace was originally Emperor Yuanjing's territory, and the crown prince was naturally indispensable to Emperor Yuanjing's eyes and ears. Therefore, as soon as the prince gave the order, Emperor Yuan Jing knew about it, so he was even more disappointed in this child whom he once loved very much.
Heng Rui had a very difficult time in the school, but he never mentioned it to Emperor Yuan Jing. Emperor Yuan Jing, who knew the real situation, also asked Heng Rui how his brothers treated him, and Heng Rui's answer was not a second word except "extremely kind and caring".
Gifted and intelligent, he is a good brother.
Heng Rui's excellence made Emperor Yuan Jing feel a little shaken in his heart, maybe this kid is the one who really has the qualifications of the prince?
Thinking of the prince's previous affairs, Emperor Yuan Jing finally suppressed the wavering in his heart.
Until one day, Hengrui's true origin was spread to the Manchu Dynasty, where everyone knew about it. From a mysterious master to an untaught child born in a cold palace, the difference from heaven to earth makes people talk about it inside and outside the court.
Emperor Yuan Jing was furious and slapped the prince to the ground.
"Why would you do such a thing! Hengrui is your own brother, what good is this for you! ”
"Father, why do you think I did it!" , The prince said sadly, but in his heart he was extremely shocked that Emperor Yuan Jing attached so much importance to this matter.
"Forget it, you can go", Emperor Yuan Jing closed his eyes tiredly, he no longer had any hope for this unsuccessful son.
The prince wanted to say something, but was invited out by the chief eunuch. When he went out, the chief eunuch said a few words to him. After mentioning the point, the prince came to his senses, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
What he did this time was not only aimed at Hengrui, but also trampled the face of the entire royal family under his feet.
He suddenly panicked.
Can the Father still forgive him?
The news is well known to everyone in the court, and there is no reason for those high-ranking princes and concubines not to know. So those princes who didn't like Heng Rui naturally began to attack him with Heng Rui's life experience.
When Emperor Yuan Jing came to see Hengrui, he saw those red eyes that had obviously cried.
For the first time in a long time, Hengrui threw himself into his father's arms like a real twelve-year-old child.
"I didn't hurt my mother, I didn't harm my mother's concubine......", the whispered sobs made Emperor Yuan Jing couldn't help but feel distressed.
Invited the palace people to ask, and Emperor Yuan Jing learned that several other princes recently actually said that it was because of Heng Rui's existence that Concubine Hui was killed.
Emperor Yuan Jing punished several princes one after another, and his angry appearance frightened several pampered princes into fear.
Since then, although he doesn't like it in his heart, no one has obviously targeted Hengrui.
For this result, Hengrui is very satisfied.
His life experience was revealed when he was "forced to ask" when he met the prince.
He originally gave it a try, but he didn't expect the prince to be so cooperative. Now that my cheap father is more and more fond of himself.
The development of these things is very successful, but there is one thing that makes Hengrui linger.
He hadn't spoken a word to Dong Haoyang in months.
From the day he came out of the cold palace until now, the only intersection between him and Dong Haoyang is to see him respectfully and humbly following the prince from a distance.
Although it was far away, Heng Rui could still clearly see that Dong Haoyang was smiling.
It's a good smile.
It's just that why is the person he is smiling at the disgusting prince?
The gloom in Heng Rui's heart slowly deposited, but when Dong Haoyang looked at it, a sincere smile immediately appeared on his face.
There was a deep feeling brewing in his dark eyes.
How can you smile at someone else?
You can only smile at me.
