Chapter 217: Double Talk
It was almost noon when Zhao Zongzhen came out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and got on the carriage that had been waiting for a long time at the gate of the palace, and only then did he sit down and listen to Zhang's nervous words: "Master?????
Zhao Zongzhen glanced at Zhang and said, "Let's talk about it on the road, let's go!" ”
The carriage slowly started and left the palace gate?????
And at this moment, Qi You is already at the royal luncheon, and this family banquet may be a little deserted, especially when Qi Shen is without Murong Clan, who has always been by his side, because Xibao is inconvenient and did not come, and Murong Clan did not participate because of physical discomfort, and Qi Shen was seen sitting there with a wandering appearance throughout the whole process, and everyone knew that no one would deliberately mention it.
Emperor Qi Wen glanced at Qi Shen a few times, just sighed and shook his head, and the queen followed Emperor Qi Wen's disappointed eyes, but her face was full of pity, Concubine De received the gaze of Emperor Qi Wen and the queen at the same time, and turned around and reminded Qi Shen: "Cough!" ”
Qi Shen came back to his senses at this time, and glanced apologetically at the queen who had not yet withdrawn his gaze, and then lowered his head silently.
At a family banquet, everyone had their own tastes, and in the end, Qi Shen was left in the palace again, and Qi You and Princess Liu went back to the palace in a carriage???
And Zhao Zongzhen in this carriage sighed: "Hey! ”
Zhang turned his head sideways and said: "What's wrong with the master, this is almost out of the capital, you say!" ”
Zhao Zongzhen sighed: "Hey, I said that the emperor would remember, but I didn't expect it to be remembered in my heart, and this emperor called me to talk alone." ”
Zhang was stunned and said: "What, the queen also called me to speak alone, but what about our daughter?" ”
Zhao Zongzhen nodded and said, "It's not all, but this is really the point." ”
Zhang Shi was puzzled: "Master, it stands to reason that my daughter and our house have always been low-key and inconspicuous, what the hell is going on, is it really because of Lord Yong?" ”
Zhao Zongzhen nodded and said, "There is only one reason." ”
Zhang said helplessly: "Master, could it be that the rumors outside are true, this King Yong is really the next successor of Emperor Qi Wen!" ”
Zhao Zongzhen nodded and said, "Be quiet, Emperor Qi Wen's treatment of Prince Yong is indeed extraordinary. not only invited the two emperors Murong Lao Taifu as his enlightenment and teaching teacher, but also threw him into the army to experience life when he was eleven or twelve years old, until he was fifteen years old, the prince of Yong had stayed in the two most border armies in the northwest and southwest, and that prince had such treatment. This is deliberately cultivating King Yong. ”
Zhang was stunned: "Then master, let's?" ”
Zhao Zongzhen sighed and said, "I'm afraid we can't stay out of it for a long time." ”
Zhang said: "What do you mean? ”
Zhao Zongzhen said quietly: "If you guess correctly, let's Yunxuan go to the northwest, Yunfan is on a mission because of the relationship between Prince Yong, you said that we can stay out of the matter." Besides, the emperor specially said to me today, 'Zhao Aiqing, thank you for cultivating a good daughter!' Isn't this just a hint to us, hey, since this is already the case, we have to go down according to the emperor's wishes. ”
Zhang said strangely: "; Master, the emperor is not angry, is he not angry with our daughters because King Yong treats us like this? ”
Zhao Zongzhen smiled: "Not yet." ”
Zhang Shi was stunned and said: "But, but the words of this queen mother sound like a little unhappy, what's going on?" ”
Zhao Zongzhen asked, "What did the queen say?" ”
Zhang said: "It's just a few polite words, mentioning Yun Tian's pregnancy." didn't say anything directly, but the concubine always felt that the queen had something to say, and her eyes were cold, although she smiled, she looked shocked, this didn't look like a happy look. ”
Zhao Zongzhen pondered for a while before saying: "It's really a little strange for the queen to be like this, but maybe it's because Princess Liu is her niece, as long as she doesn't ask for anything." ”
Zhang sighed: "That's right, forget it, since the emperor is interesting." Let's just listen to the emperor, presumably the queen will not refuse. ”
Zhao Zongzhen said: "Yes, okay, I don't want to." Rest for a while, and don't mention anything to your daughter when you go back for a while, lest she be too distracted. ”
After that, Zhao Zongzhen lay on his side in the carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate?????
When Zhao Zongzhen and his wife returned to the mansion, Qi You and Princess Liu also returned to the palace, and Qi You and Princess Liu returned to the Wuyu Courtyard together. While serving Qi You and changing into homely clothes, Princess Liu asked casually, "Master, did you go out last night?" ”
Qi You was stunned and said: "Yes, the fifth brother had something to do yesterday, and this king went to visit." ”
Princess Liu's hand paused for a moment, looking at Qi You's accidentally exposed underwear, Xuanxi, Xuanxi, Princess Liu blushed a little and said, "Yes, fifth brother, it's okay." ”
Qi You changed into homely clothes and said, "It's not a big deal, you??" What's wrong? ”
Princess Liu hurriedly covered up: "Hey, the smell in this house is too strong, and the concubines are a little uncomfortable, so it's okay." ”
Qi You moved his muscles and said, "I saw Old Lady Murong at my father's place today, have you seen the third princess in your mother's house?" ”
Princess Liu handed the hot tea to Qi You and said, "I saw it, but it was just a quick glance, and when we got together, the Murong clan had already been picked up." ”
Qi You said: "No wonder. ”
Princess Liu said: "What? ”
Qi You sighed and said, "Before this luncheon, when this king and the fifth brother passed by Qinxin Lake, they saw the third brother standing alone in the snow by the lake, looking lost and depressed, it seems that he has seen the Murong clan. ”
Princess Liu said: "Hey, the third brother is really infatuated, since this is the case, why do you want to make such a fuss, and you make such a big fuss, I don't know what it is for." ”
As soon as Princess Liu said this, Qi You's hand shook invisibly, and then said: "This is a matter between their husband and wife, we can't control it, as long as the third brother is fine." ”
Princess Liu said with a smile: "Also, the queen mother still wants to give the concubine and several other princesses the opportunity to visit the old lady Murong's mansion, and the concubine doesn't know what to do." ”
Qi You took a sip of tea and said, "Since the queen mother said it, you can go and have a look, just talk about family life between concubines." ”
Princess Liu said: "Yes, it's just that the concubines are afraid and can't do anything." ”
Qi You took off the crown and said, "What's wrong?" ”
The princess sighed: "When I saw Concubine De Niangniang today, she also asked the concubine about the situation of several girls from the family, looking at Concubine De, she seemed to be determined to accept another side concubine for the third brother, and the concubine was afraid that if this was really accepted, the third brother and the Murong family were really irreparable." ”
Qi You pinched his sour forehead and said, "Hey, Concubine De has always felt sorry for the third brother, and the Murong family did take care of everyone when she left the third brother." It is normal for Concubine De to have such thoughts, but the third brother should not accept it, and the king is afraid that this matter will hurt the harmony between his father and the old lady Murong. ”
Princess Liu also said with a sad face: "Yes, this is what the concubine is worried about. ”
Qi You half leaned on the soft couch and said, "Wasn't the third brother left behind by his father?" Maybe there is something that can be done, forget it, the more I think about it, the more troublesome it becomes. ”
Princess Liu said: "No, the matter of the third brother in the past two years has really made everyone worry." ”
Qi You yawned and said, "This king is a little tired and wants to lie down first, what about the princess?" ”
Princess Liu smiled: "The prince is tired. Let's just sleep here, there are still things waiting for the concubines to deal with outside, by the way, the prince's dinner today is used in the mansion? ”
Seeing that the princess asked so carefully, Qi You smiled slightly: "Well, use it for you, the fifth brother may come back in a while, you can prepare together." ”
Princess Liu said with a happy face: "Yes, the concubine will go down to prepare, and the prince will rest first." ”
Let's talk about it. After serving Qi You to rest, Princess Liu turned around and went out of the warm pavilion to the hall to deal with affairs, and Qi You pinched the collar of his shirt and smiled helplessly????
In the courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing, Xibao slept until after lunch, and is now eating Zhengxiang warmly around the foot table.
Wen Qin waited on the side, laughing and saying, "Master, slow down, don't choke." ”
Xibao was holding an oily chicken leg and was gnawing happily, and said while eating: "Wenqin, hasn't the old lady come back yet?" ”
Wen Qin smiled: "Master, didn't I tell you." Old man
People have to go back to the house first, and then they can go back to the other courtyard when they are done. ”
Xibao muttered: "Ao, what about the prince? ”
Wen Qin held his forehead and said, "Master, you didn't say it yourself. It was said that the prince told you that he couldn't come in the past few days, why did you ask me again. ”
Xibao glanced at Wenqin and said, "I forgot no!" ”
Wen Qin smiled: "Okay, okay, why can't you??? Whatever the master says, it is what it is. ”
Xibao laughed and said, "Hey, you deal with me again." By the way, did you give the gifts you gave to the white ape and Dr. Suwen? ”
Wen Qin said: "No, master, you are only waking up now, and the slave and maid have been staying with you." I don't dare to go anywhere else, and besides, Dr. Su Wen drank yesterday, and I don't know if I'm awake now. ”
Xibao put down the gnawed chicken leg and said, "That's right, no wonder, it's so quiet today, what about the white ape?" ”
Wen Qin said: "When the prince left, the slave maid saw that he was holding an oil umbrella with the prince, I don't know if he was gone or there, wait for a while after you finish eating the slave and maid and then go out to find it." ”
Xibao drank the porridge and asked, "Has the snow stopped outside?" ”
Wen Qin said with a smile: "The master only stopped not long before he woke up, but I don't know how long it will stop, the plum forest in the backyard is full of snowflakes." ”
Xibao said with a smile: "Don't you like to collect snow water on plum blossoms and say that you want to make incense, but this time it's enough." ”
Wen Qin said: "The master still remembers, the slave and maid also plan to collect, so that in the summer, there will be plum blossom fragrance." ”
Xibao said: "I'll go with you later, and breathe in the fresh air outside by the way." ”
Wen Qin said: "Master, it's strange and cold outside, don't go, the slave will finish collecting in a while." ”
Xibao smiled and said, "Why are you afraid that I will disturb you?" ”
Wen Qin said with an embarrassed face: "Master, ????"
Xibao grinned and said, "That's it, let's go together, I also want to do activities." ”
In the afternoon, Xi Baozhen followed Wenqin to the plum forest to collect snow water, and the white ape was also confused to protect the side, until the sky was getting dark, the three of them returned to the house, and when they arrived in the house, Xi Bao received a letter, opened it and saw that tears came out of tears???????
