Chapter 476: Brother
Zhou Ling and Zhou Peng went out of the palace to open the palace after being crowned king, Zhou Ling's age is not young, and it will be time to discuss marriage in a year or two.
Zhou Heng has been busy since returning to Beijing, and he has no time to meet them. They wanted to get close to their brother, but they never had the opportunity, Cui Keyin was a sister-in-law, and they had to avoid suspicion, so they had to take advantage of the fact that they went to the palace for a banquet today, prepared gifts, and came to ask to see them under the pretext of celebrating the New Year for Lele.
Zhou Heng frowned imperceptibly, Cui Keyin had already asked the palace people to announce their in.
The Queen Mother naturally didn't want to see them. When they were in the palace, they were always trembling, for fear that they would not wake up one night when they closed their eyes, so they were extra careful. The experience of childhood will accompany a person for a long time, and the two have their own mansions for more than a year, so they will naturally not change their cautious temperament.
After entering the warm pavilion, after saluting in a proper manner, neither of them dared to raise their heads, and Zhou Ling came forward to hand over the two boxes, and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "The younger brother has a new inkstone, I don't know if my brother likes it or not......"
Cui Keyin was speechless, was it too early to send the inkstone to Lele?
Zhou Heng said "um", opened the box and looked at it, quickly closed it, and said, "Lele is still young, you are in school, so keep this inkstone for your own use." Let Huan rejoice again: "Take a knife of clear heart paper." Then he said to the two, "One of you is half a knife." Keep it as a dowry when you take your daughter-in-law in the future. ”
Chengxin paper is naturally good, but take Chengxin paper as a dowry? It's not a scholarly family. Cui Keyin couldn't help but smile and endure very hard.
Zhou Ling took Zhou Peng to thank him and wanted to talk to Lele, but Lele ignored them at all, and only lowered his head to play with the silk silk of the jade pendant on his father's waist. Zhou Heng said: "The child is small, so he knows his life." You don't have to play with him more, just get acquainted. ”
Zhou Ling's slender eyes lit up suddenly, Zhou Peng didn't realize the meaning of this sentence, and he was ignorant and retreated with Zhou Ling's salute.
Zhou Heng asked: "Is it appropriate to follow the people outside?" He asked again if the snow had stopped, and how thick was the snow on the road.
The people who followed him came in to reply, Zhou Heng didn't say anything after seeing it, and when he heard that the snow hadn't stopped, he groaned slightly. Said: "In that case, let's rest in the palace where I used to live for the time being." Tomorrow we will meet you, and don't run around in the snow. ”
At this time, I returned home in the heavy wind and snow, but I was afraid that I would not be able to rest for two hours. I had to get up and freshen up to attend the first day of junior high school. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, these courtiers must enter the palace to meet them, to put it bluntly, they enter the palace early in the morning to greet the emperor. But this weather is enough to choke when you come and go. Zhou Heng said so. Although it was for the sake of their youth, a heart of love still made both of them wet their eyes.
Zhou Peng really wanted to sit next to Zhou Heng and be attached to him like Lele. Since he was a child, no one has ever cared about him, and no one will risk being impeached by the imperial history because of bad weather and worrying that the road is not easy to walk. You must know that they have opened the palace, so they can no longer stay in the palace. can stay in the palace at night, except for those chamberlains who are neither male nor female, they can only be Zhou Heng a normal man.
Zhou Heng did this. It can be seen that he really treats them as his own brothers.
Zhou Peng looked at Zhou Heng with admiration, his eyes wet. Cui Keyin saw that he had a general affection for Zhou Heng similar to his father, and couldn't help but look at Zhou Heng.
Zhou Heng had already beckoned to him and said, "Come here." ”
"Brother Huang!" Zhou Peng trotted over, threw himself into Zhou Heng's arms, and whimpered.
Lele was very unhappy, let go of the jade peisi silk on Zhou Heng's waist, stood up with a bone, and pushed Zhou Peng with his little hand. He hated this stranger, who hugged his father. The embrace of his father is his good or not.
Zhou Peng hugged Zhou Heng's neck tightly. Hug him with all his might, Lele people are small and light, where can they push?
Zhou Heng patted him on the back and said, "Our father is gone." If you have any grievances, tell me. ”
"Hmm." Zhou Peng wanted to agree, but his throat was blocked, and only a heavy nasal voice remained.
Lele pushed Zhou Peng hard with both hands, and his little face was angry. He sensed danger, this man, as if he was trying to rob his father.
Cui Keyin beckoned to Lele: "Come here." Mother queen hug. ”
Lele shook his head. used the strength of the milk to push Zhou Peng, but he couldn't push it, changed the beat, and patted his little hand on Zhou Peng's back.
The scene of the brothers hugging each other stunned Zhou Ling, and he also wanted to step forward to hug Zhou Heng, but timidity made him dare not move, and Lele's angry little face made him have the urge to pull Zhou Peng away.
Lele's eyes were red, and he complained to his mother aggrievedly: "He robbed his father." ”
Cui Keyin smiled, kissed his little face, and said, "No one can snatch your father away." ”
Lele struggled to leave Cui Keyin's arms and "snatch" his father back, Cui Keyin didn't let him down, and took a piece of rose cake on the kang to coax him. He pushed it away, pouting and turning his face away.
This kid is so cute. Cui Keyin smiled.
Zhou Ling was already stunned, and he didn't know what to say.
Cui Keyin looked at him and said softly: "If you also want to hug your imperial brother, go over." ”
These two children, who lost their father since childhood and whose mother was killed by the Queen Mother, bear the name of a prince, and have always lacked food and clothing in the palace. Since she and Zhou Heng moved to the palace, they have to have food and clothing to study. They fully understood Zhou Heng's affection for Cui Keyin, and she also saw Zhou Ling's desires. Physical contact is sometimes the best comfort.
Zhou Ling didn't expect her to say this, so she saluted Cui Keyin, then rushed over to Zhou Heng and threw herself into Zhou Heng's arms.
Lele was in a hurry, pushing his mother hard, and his small body leaned in the direction of Zhou Heng. It's too much, and there's another villain who robbed his father. How can this be?
Cui Keyin said softly: "They are not outsiders, they are your uncles." ”
Zhou Ling's body in Zhou Heng's arms trembled slightly. After they left the house, they were more cautious and did not dare to cross the border. Zhou Heng's class returned to the dynasty, and they were in front of the clan nobles who took over, but they didn't dare to talk to Zhou Heng more. They were in awe of this heroic brother.
Zhou Heng has been away from Beijing for more than half a year, and there are a lot of government affairs waiting for him to deal with, how can he have time to find two teenagers to talk about parting? Naturally, they were ignored. Zhou Kang's rebellion made them feel worried about the status quo, and they always wanted to find an opportunity to show Zhou Heng that they had no objection. They racked their brains and thought for a long time before they wanted to go to Anhua Palace to ask for a meeting after the family banquet. Unexpectedly, Zhou Heng and Cui Keyin didn't suspect them at all, and they didn't have an estrangement from them because of Zhou Kang's rebellion.
He is their brother; She is their sister-in-law. Zhou Ling only felt warm in his heart.
Zhou Heng hugged them with a pair of big hands, waited for them to calm down a little, gently pushed them away, and said, "You and my brother, don't be angry." ”
"Yes, Brother Huang." Zhou Ling had tears in his eyes and a smile on his lips.
Zhou Peng nodded again and again, and said, "Brother Huang, can the younger brother take the prince to play together?" ”
"What prince, that's your nephew." Zhou Heng smiled and patted his head, only to slap him into tears. (To be continued.) )
