Princess Hanyue came out of Jingyang Palace and went to the East Palace where the prince lived.

The original name of the East Palace is actually called Ciqing Palace, because it has always been the residence of the son, so that now people only remember the East Palace, but do not remember the original name of the palace.

Ciqing Palace is the residence of the future prince, naturally to show the noble status of the crown prince, not only covers an extremely wide area, but also built magnificently, which can be seen from the three palace gates of Ciqing Palace alone.

When Princess Hanyue arrived at the East Palace, it was already dark.

In this era, there is a rule that men and women do not sit at the age of seven, and even brothers and sisters are no exception, but the royal family has a total of two bloodlines, the prince and Princess Hanyue, and the two are the emperor's nobles, so they are naturally much more relaxed in this regard, because Princess Hanyue and the prince have always been extremely close, like today, it is not uncommon for Princess Hanyue to visit the prince in the East Palace after dark.

Princess Hanyue is not only the sister of the prince's mother, but also regarded by the emperor as the pearl of the palm, and the palace people in the East Palace naturally did not dare to slack off, and they all knelt forward to greet her.

"Let's all be flat." Princess Hanyue waved her hand, "Where is the imperial brother?" ”

A palace man from the East Palace replied softly: "Back to the princess, the prince is painting in the study." ”

As a palace person in the East Palace, it is taboo to tell others about the prince's movements so casually, but when that "other" is replaced by Princess Hanyue, it doesn't matter.

This also shows the deep brother-sister relationship between the prince and Princess Hanyue from the side.

Princess Hanyue nodded lightly, since she already knew where the prince was, she sent these palace people back and went straight to the prince's study.

As the palace people said, the prince was painting in the study at this time, and the prince was obviously focusing all his energy on the painting. I didn't even hear Princess Hanyue pushing the door.

Princess Hanyue stood by the door and looked at her own brother, from her angle she could only see the prince's slightly emaciated face, he was wearing a regular dress at this time, wearing a crown of wings on his head, his thin body was half lying on the wide desk, and he was engrossed in scribbling on the half-finished painting on the table.

Princess Hanyue was a little surprised when she saw this.

The royal family has only one prince, the crown prince, since the royal brother was made the crown prince. At the request of his father, he followed the Taifu to learn how to govern the country. But in the eyes of Princess Hanyue, even when learning how to govern state affairs in the future, the royal brother may not be as serious as painting now.

What did he paint?

Curiosity welled up. Princess Hanyue swallowed back the call that came to her lips, and with a mischievous smile on her face, she walked lightly on tiptoe towards the prince.

Coming behind the prince, Princess Hanyue wanted to come up and take a look. The prince was startled, but when he saw the unfinished painting of the prince's pen. She was a little distracted for a moment.

The painting shows a girl who is in the middle of cardamom, and this girl, Princess Hanyue also recognizes.

The clear water of the lake shimmered in the sun, and a young girl in Tsing Yi was half-crouched on the white stone fence. A sleeve corner in the stone fence, in the lake reflects a dazzling blue to reads();.

The girl raised her face slightly to meet the warm sun, and her delicate and beautiful face became even fairer and more radiant. A few wisps of green silk in the ears raised a graceful arc with the breeze by the lake.

Her eyebrows were furrowed, and the corners of her lips were smiling. It looks very cozy.

Feng Zhi Song.

In just an instant, the name of Princess Hanyue came to mind.

After careful calculation, plus the time at the birthday banquet of Old Man Han, Princess Hanyue only saw Feng Zhige twice, but for some reason, she was very impressed by this person.

It's just that why did the royal brother make such a picture?

Princess Hanyue's eyes flashed with confusion and worry.

The crown prince is now past the age of the crown, but he has not yet set up a crown princess, but it is conceivable that this situation will not last long, the royal family has withered blood, and now it is the only seedling of the prince, whether it is the current emperor or the ministers of the court, I hope that the royal family can better spread out after the prince.

The crown princess is the future queen, and there are a few women in the world who can resist such a temptation, and even if the nobles who are qualified in the capital are of marriageable age, there are many who deliberately drag on the unengaged, and the reason is that the families of these noble girls are staring at the princess, waiting for the emperor's decree and then starting a game.

Princess Hanyue can be sure that the crown prince has no say in the selection of the crown princess, and can only obey her father's arrangement.

In this case, the imperial brother painted the song of Feng Zhige on the painting......

If this matter spreads, I am afraid that there will be a lot of rumors about the relationship between the imperial brother and Feng Zhige in the capital, even if this matter does not spread outside the palace, as long as it reaches the ears of the father, there will be many branches.

It is impossible for the father to allow the daughter of the Han family to become the future queen.

Princess Hanyue has also seen the prince's situation in her eyes over the years, she knows that although the prince is beautiful on the surface, in fact, in the halo of the prince of the Dawu Dynasty, the prince's position is not very stable, and there are many hidden worries inside.

In the eyes of Princess Hanyue, although her royal brother is not extremely smart, he is also very successful in his heart, but why did he still do such an obviously inappropriate thing in this situation?

Frowning slightly, Princess Hanyue saw that the prince had finished drawing the last stroke, so she called softly: "Brother Huang......"

When the prince heard this, he turned his head and was not surprised to see Princess Hanyue appear behind him, so he only pointed to the painting on the desk and said to Princess Hanyue: "Hanyue, let's see if the imperial brother's painting skills have improved?" ”

The ink on the painting has not dried, and the smile on the girl's lips seems to be able to penetrate the paper.

If you only talk about painting skills, the prince's painting can at least be regarded as a masterpiece.

But Princess Hanyue's gaze only swept lightly on the painting, and then turned to the prince again, she said, "Brother Huang, do you remember what I said to the imperial brother at the birthday banquet of the old man that day?" ”

The prince paused slightly, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

He looked at Princess Hanyue, "Imperial sister, even you think that the imperial brother can only obey the orders of his father and the emperor in this life?" ”

Princess Hanyue was suffocated.

In the eyes of everyone, the crown prince Zhao Zaicun is frail and indecisive, and his sensitivity to state affairs is not as good as the current emperor's eleventh.

Over the years. Today's emperor's dissatisfaction with the crown prince can be seen by many people in the court, if it weren't for the fact that the royal family only had the prince as a man, I am afraid that the prince would not be able to do it at all.

Such ideas generally exist among the civil and military ministers of the Dawu Dynasty, not to mention the crown prince, even Princess Hanyue, a woman who doesn't care much about state affairs, is already known.

As the younger sister who has a close relationship with Zhao Zaicun, Princess Hanyue should have stood on her brother's side with a clear banner. But sometimes she had to admit it. Compared with his father, the emperor's brother lacks many conditions to be a king.

Seeing that Princess Hanyue was silent, Zhao Zaicun was not angry. He laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "I know best what my situation is, but fortunately, the royal sister didn't say anything against her will." It's just that. Even if I can only be an obedient puppet in my father's hands now, I always have to do something according to my own heart. ”

Speaking of which, later. Zhao Zaicun's eyes showed a look of determination.

"Brother Huang, when you say casual, do you mean her?" Princess Hanyue stretched out her hand and pointed to the smiling Fengzhi song on the painting.

Zhao Zaicun looked at Princess Hanyue's fingertips, although he did not speak. But the answer is obvious.

Princess Hanyue's brows twisted into a knot when she saw this, she has been close to the prince since she was a child, and this palace is full of understanding of the prince's temperament. She recognized the second, and no one could recognize the first.

Her royal brother. Although he seems to be very easy-going on the face and doesn't care about many things, once he really makes up his mind to do something, even if he knows that there is no way forward, he will never turn back.

Now in the matter of Feng Zhige, Zhao Zaixun's state is like this.

Princess Hanyue didn't know why the royal brother was so obsessed with Feng Zhige after only seeing them for so many times or two.

Knowing that persuasion was useless, Princess Hanyue did not waste her efforts, she only asked the prince: "Brother Huang, do you know who Hansu mentioned by the queen mother in the Qianqing Palace that day?" ”

Hearing such a name that she had never heard of before in the Qianqing Palace, Princess Hanyue inevitably fell into her heart, and after that day, she sent someone to inquire about this cold element, but at first she didn't get any news, and then she still knew about this person from an old palace who had been in the palace for more than 20 years.

When Rao was in the Qianqing Palace that day, Princess Hanyue had some guesses about the identity of Han Suqi, and when she really learned some of this person's past, she still couldn't help but take a breath.

The prince was slightly stunned by Princess Hanyue's question, he had heard this name that day, but afterwards he didn't go out of his way to investigate like Princess Hanyue, and naturally he didn't know anything about Hansu, he didn't know why Princess Hanyue mentioned this person at this time, and said with some confusion: "Who is this person?" ”

Princess Hanyue said: "The surname Han is rare, can't the imperial brother think of something?" ”

"The Han family?" was reminded by Princess Hanyue like this, and the prince thought of the Han family in just a moment.

Princess Hanyue nodded, "It's indeed the Han family." I don't know if the imperial brother still remembers that Old Man Han originally had a daughter, but as early as more than 20 years ago, the Han girl passed away early, and this Han Su was the only daughter of Old Man Han. ”

The crown prince was surprised, but he still didn't know what Princess Hanyue meant by mentioning Han Su.

Princess Hanyue didn't sell Guan Zi, and told everything she knew: "In addition, this Han Su was allowed to his father as his wife by the current Han old man in his early years, and his father at that time only showed a little edge in the troubled times. ”

"It can be said that at least half of today's Dawu Dynasty is called by Hansu." Princess Hanyue said very seriously.

When the prince heard this, he fell silent.

At least half of the rivers and mountains of the Dawu Dynasty were called by a woman, which can be regarded as incredible today, if it weren't for the fact that it was his own sister who had always trusted him, I was afraid that the prince would only treat it as nonsense.

Seeing that the prince was silent, Princess Hanyue eased her heart and continued: "The first thing my father did after establishing the Dawu Dynasty and ascending the throne was to record Han Su's name on the royal jade, so in terms of it, this Han Su is the queen of the Yuan, and now this queen mother has to be ranked among her. ”

The crown prince looked at Princess Hanyue with some puzzlement, "If that's the case, why now?" ”

Why is it that no words about Hansu have ever been heard in the palace now?

"No one knows what happened at the beginning, only that on the eve of the wedding between his father and Han Su, Han Su died suddenly in the palace. Then he was buried in the imperial tomb by his father overnight, and the reason why Queen Su has this catastrophe now seems to be related to this. After the death of Han Su, the father was extremely taboo for others to mention his affairs, so no one in the palace dared to mention this person over the years, and now, except for a few old palace people in the palace back then. Almost no one knows about Han Su anymore. Princess Hanyue finished what she knew in one breath.

The prince was silent for a long time. Later, there was some reaction to Princess Hanyue's intention to mention Hansu, and there was a little more hesitation between her eyebrows.

"Hanyue, the royal brother has always thought. No matter what, you should always support the royal brother. Speaking of this, the disappointment in the prince's tone was unmistakable.

Princess Hanyue felt a sour feeling when she heard this.

She has been a brother and sister with the prince for more than ten years, and she has liked to follow the prince since she was a child. Over the years, the brother-sister relationship between the two has been extremely deep. If possible, she also wanted to stand behind the crown prince and unswervingly support him.

But......

Closing her eyes fiercely, Princess Hanyue counted all the sourness in her heart and said, "Brother Huang." You should know how taboo your father is against the Han family, and now that you think about it, there must be a reason for this cold. There is such a Yuan Hou in front. How could the father allow the daughter of the Han family to become the future queen? Although Feng Zhige is not the biological daughter of Old Man Han, she has now won the approval of Old Man Han. That is the justifiable daughter of the Han family, no matter what, she can't become the crown princess of the imperial brother, why should the imperial brother fight with his father for this tone instead of focusing on her? There are so many noble daughters in the capital who can be qualified to become the crown princess, you ...... imperial brother"

Princess Hanyue thought about the wisdom and transparency of the girl who was younger than her when she first saw Feng Zhige.

In her opinion, such a transparent girl deserves a better home, and she should not become a victim of the emperor's brother's rivalry with her father.

What's more, Princess Hanyue thinks that if Feng Zhige is unwilling, even if her father does not object, she is afraid that her imperial brother will not be able to keep her by her side.

Until now, Princess Hanyue still remembers Feng Zhige's admonition to her, as well as what Feng Zhige said, telling her to go to Father-in-law Yu in the palace when she encounters something that cannot be solved.

This is only one sentence, but it can fully show Feng Zhige's understanding of the palace, and at least he has a certain degree of control over the palace.

What's more, Feng Zhige now has the identity of the Han family's daughter.

With the gold of the Han family's daughter, she, the princess, may not have much superiority in front of Feng Zhige.

How could such a woman be willing to become a prop for other people's fathers and sons?

However, the crown prince was not persuaded by Princess Hanyue.

He remembered the old painting he had seen at his father's place when he was a child, and since he saw the person in the painting, he had often thought of the smiling woman in the painting.

When he saw Feng Zhige on the shore of the lake, for a moment, he couldn't even distinguish the real girl in front of him from the person in the painting.

After that short meeting, Zhao Zaicun once again took advantage of the absence to look at the paintings that his father had treasured for many years, even after so many years, the paper of the scroll had been yellowed, and the woman in Tsing Yi in the painting was still smiling lightly on the paper.

Unconsciously, Zhao Zaicun thought of the girl in Tsing Yi he saw on the shore of the lake.

Obviously, the two are not similar in appearance, but the charm and meticulousness will always make people connect the two together.

Perhaps, it was in this recollection that the girl who met by chance was stored in Zhao Zai's heart like this.

If they hadn't met again, maybe Zhao Zaicun would gradually forget this short memory, but he didn't expect that the last time he obeyed his father's order to celebrate the birthday of Old Man Han, he would see the girl again in such a surprise, and he learned her identity.

The moment he saw her again, the joy that welled up in Zhao Zaicun's heart could not be mistaken.

In the vast sea of people, it is not easy to meet the same person several times.

He wondered if this was the so-called fate.

Thinking about the first time they met, the girl's reaction was very different from that of ordinary people, Zhao Zaicun even had a thought in his heart, he knew that his choice of concubine might not be delayed for a long time, compared to other behaving girls, it seems to be a good choice to accompany such a woman for a lifetime.

It's just that Feng Zhige's identity has become a roadblock to Zhao Zaicun's idea.

The eldest daughter of the Marquis of Weiyuan, the newly recognized daughter of the old man Han, if it is only the former, it would be okay, but she has a later identity.

Zhao Zaicun knew very well that with his father's suspicious temperament and his wariness of the Han family over the years, even if the girl was just the daughter of the old man Han, he would definitely not allow her to become his crown princess.

But the more clearly he knew this, the more Zhao Zaicun had the courage to face difficulties in his heart.

He wanted the girl who had left a bright spot in his heart to be the one who would accompany him in the future, and in addition, he also wanted to use this matter to play a game with his father.

Over the years, because of his frailty and illness, because his intelligence did not meet his father's expectations for the heir, he saw disappointment in his father's eyes more than once, and therefore, even if he was already the prince of the Great Wu Dynasty, he could only completely submit to his father's words when it came to the decision of anything.

In the eyes of the world, Zhao Zaicun is a little weak and even cowardly because he has been sick since he was a child, and he will inevitably feel unwilling to this situation.

He is the future king of a country in the Great Wu Dynasty!

He thought that he would have to use something to express his displeasure to his father. (To be continued.) )
