464 King Ann
Shen Rouning couldn't help but look up at the tower.
At this time, a trace of cloud veiled the bright moon, and the light sprinkled on the world became dim. There is no light on the tower, and it is pitch black and I don't know what is hidden, which makes people feel a little depressed.
"Let's go." Chen Houyun still held Shen Rouning's hand and walked in front of the bustling lights.
Shen Rouning nodded and did not ask.
Although the situation just now, it is all weird.
From quiet to lively, a group of four people quickly walked into the bustle of the world. Roadside visitors talk and laugh loudly, the lanterns are bright, and it is a prosperous scene.
"I don't know where the second uncle and the second aunt are?" Shen Rouning looked at Mingyue Lake and said with interest: "The relationship between the two people is really good. ”
"Don't you think it's the second uncle who has cultivated to the house and has been enduring the second aunt?" Chen Houyun didn't answer, and asked with a chuckle.
"This may be the way they get along as husband and wife." Shen Rouning said softly: "Second uncle's helplessness is just an appearance. "Second Master Chen may sometimes feel that his wife is as beautiful as a vase...... But let him change a vase, he will definitely not be reluctant.
"That's right." Chen Houyun smiled slightly.
Gao Yuan and Hongying both took a few steps back and followed.
The two of them walked along the lake, walking hand in hand in the noisy crowd, and their hearts were peaceful.
The sunset tower is condescending, and what you see in your eyes is a beautiful scenery in the world; Now that I'm in it, it's a very different experience.
"Shen Rouning?" A marquee suddenly stopped in front of the two.
Shen Rou stared at it, but she hadn't yet distinguished the person. Chen Houyun beside her had already begun to bow her hands, and said, "I've seen His Royal Highness King An." ”
"Chen Zhuangyuan?" The person who came looked at Chen Houyun with an expressionless face, and said, "I didn't expect you to recognize me." ”
The visitor was a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, tall and thin, dressed in a black robe, and his voice had a rough and unpleasant voice peculiar to a young man. It turned out to be His Royal Highness the former Second Prince.
After Emperor Qingping ascended the throne, he named his younger brother King An. King An invited himself to guard the imperial tomb for the first emperor and then the emperor, and he did not appear in the capital for a long time. I didn't expect it to be back.
Shen Rouning hurriedly followed and saluted. She had already recognized the person who had come by this time, and she also remembered the once elusive temper of this highness. Don't dare to slack off.
King An glanced back and forth on the two years of his body a few times. Mu Lu was surprised, and said, "Lord Chen and Miss Shen are these?" ”
"Back to Your Highness, the two of us have already concluded the covenant of the white head on the eighth day of the eighth month of the eighth month." Chen Houhan said with a smile.
"You two actually got married?" King An's expression showed a ridiculous look, and then it became gloomy again. Apparently not happy with the good news. The corner of the eye is raised. He said coldly: "No wonder Chen Gong was so opposed to Miss Shen's entry into the palace back then. ”
"If this king is not mistaken, Lord Chen's first wife seems to be still alive at that time?"
Chen Houyun's face turned cold, and he said, "The prince is cautious." ”
King An sneered. But he did not continue to verbally attack. He squinted at Shen Rouning, neither speaking nor walking away, not knowing what he was thinking.
Shen Rouning's face was very calm, faintly revealing some displeasure.
Anyone who hears such humiliation will be displeased.
"If the prince is fine, our husband and wife will retire first." Chen Houyun said.
King An did not move at all.
Chen Houyun and Shen Rouning took a few steps sideways, preparing to walk forward bypassing King An. At this time, a snow-white cat came out of nowhere, jumped high, and jumped into Shen Rouning's arms. Immediately afterward, I heard a crisp voice say happily: "Sister, brother-in-law, you also came out to play!" ”
But it was Shen Rouwen who happened to be here too, and when he saw Chen Houyun and Shen Rouning, the commander Chen Houwen came over.
After playing like this, she has long lost the strength to walk.
And she relied on her young age to be able to let Chen Houwen carry her on her shoulders in a dignified manner. condescending, even more excited, no sleepiness at all.
Chen Houwen was miserable.
He was also very happy to see Chen Houyun and Shen Rouning, and hoped that this little couple could understand his hard work, so that Shen Rouyun could take over and let him relax-
It's been so long, Chen Houwen and Shen Duanrong don't know where they went, but they haven't touched it!
Shen Rouning skillfully caught the hydrangea cat, and when she saw Shen Rouyuan's scene at this time, she hurriedly said, "Ah Yuan, hurry down!" She instructed Hongying, "Go and pick up the girl." ”
There are many people on the street, and if Shen Rouning walks on the ground, she can't see anything at all, and it is also very dangerous. But even if it's something to hold, it's better than a person to carry it on your shoulders! Is...... Shen Rouning blushed a little for Shen Roujin.
Shen Roujin didn't let Hongying hug her, but slid down from Chen Houqi's shoulders, her little arms and legs were very sharp, and after walking to Shen Rouning's side and smiling flatteringly, she obediently let Shen Rouning hold her and said, "Sister, what are you doing standing here with your brother-in-law?" ”
"Hydrangea, go down. You've stained your sister's clothes! After asking, Shen Rouyan went to stare at the hydrangea cat again.
The cat was obedient and jumped off Shen Rouning lightly. It seemed to be about to leave, but it found King Ann again.
When the cat appeared, King An saw it.
At this time, the hydrangea cat fell to the ground, and An Wang couldn't help but half-squat down and look at it.
In this way, Shen Rou saw him and scolded in a coquettish voice: "Who are you!" Don't bully my hydrangea! ”
Shen Rouning pulled Shen Rou and whispered to her: "Ah Huan, don't be rude, this is His Royal Highness King An." Your hydrangea cat was sent by him back then. ”
Shen Rouyan let go of her hand and bent down to pick up the hydrangea. With her size, she just looked at King An who was half-squatting down. Shen Rouning's big eyes were full of curiosity, and she asked, "Are you the prince?" Did you really send the hydrangea? ”
"Yes." King An's eyes fell on the hydrangea, his eyes showed some nostalgia, and said: "I got two hydrangea cats back then, one was kept by myself, and the other was given to your sister." ”
Shen Rouyan was very happy when she heard this, and her eyes narrowed like a crescent moon. He said excitedly: "Then isn't your hydrangea also very smart?" My hydrangea will find people, and it won't tear people's clothes...... What will your hydrangea be? ”
"My hydrangea is gone." An Wang's voice was a little sad.
When the incident in the palace happened, he was punished to kneel in the temple, and the hydrangea cat he raised was neglected to take care of, and no one even knew when he lost it. Later, it was a state funeral, and he went to the imperial tomb to guard it...... I have long forgotten the cat I once raised for a while.
It wasn't until today that he suddenly remembered that he had one of these cats.
When Shen Rou heard this, her little face immediately showed some difficulty. She looked at King An sympathetically, but hugged her cat tightly. Said vigilantly: "Although you are the prince." But you can't have my cat, can you? I raised the hydrangea and my sister gave it to me a long time ago. ”
She seemed to feel a little cruel again, and said, "It's a big deal, I'll ask my sister to buy a few more cats for you to give to you...... Ten of them. Kindness. One hundred! In a word. I won't be able to give you back. ”
Hydrangea cats are rare in Daqing, and it is not difficult to find ten, but it is impossible to find a hundred.
Shen Rouyuan didn't understand it at a young age. At this time, such a promise, a serious look looks like she is very cute.
King An couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said, "Ah Yu, right...... Don't worry, I don't want your cat. If you send it out, you will send it out. ”
Shen Rouyan breathed a sigh of relief. She hesitated, handed the hydrangea cat in her arms to safety, and said, "Do you want to hug it?" Hydrangea is very well-behaved. ”
This hydrangea cat may be of a different breed. The ordinary cat has grown up in two years, but it is still not much longer than an adult man's slap, and its body is very light and vigorous, and it is extremely intelligent.
King An shook his head and stood up.
Shen Rouning took Shen Rou and motioned her not to talk nonsense.
King An glanced at Shen Rouning again, didn't say anything more, and left.
Shen Rouning led Shen Rou to the side and moved out of the way.
After he left, Chen Houqi asked Chen Houyun curiously: "Big brother, is that His Royal Highness King An?" Didn't you say that you would guard the tomb for three years? Why did you come back at this time? ”
"I guess I'm back for the holidays." Chen Houyun said softly: "During the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is inevitable to be lonely. ”
"Yes, I heard that this highness is not able to calm down." Chen Houqi sighed.
Chen Houyun said: "You haven't communicated with him, how do you know." Hearsay or not. ”
Chen Houqi should be taught "yes".
This His Royal Highness used to live in the deep palace and it was difficult to leave the palace, and later he went directly to the imperial mausoleum...... It rarely appears in public, and no one can say what the truth is. Besides, he was still a child back then, but now he has suffered a big change and is getting older...... I don't know if there has been a big change in his personality.
Of course, King An's temperament has changed greatly.
He walked slowly in the bright light, and when he was about to arrive at the palace, he personally bought a delicate lotus lantern, carried it slowly into the palace, and finally arrived at Cining Palace.
"The grandson asks the imperial grandmother Wanfu Jin'an." King An handed over the lotus lantern to the palace people, knelt respectfully on the main hall, and kowtowed three times to the Empress Dowager.
Tears welled up in the Empress Dowager's eyes and said, "Good boy, you have suffered...... Get up quickly, come and sit next to the imperial grandmother, and let the imperial grandmother take a good look at you...... "When she is old, her body and bones will irretrievably decay. The water-like tonic can't raise her spirit.
"I'm taller, and I'm thinner." The Empress Dowager took King An's hand and asked him to sit down at her feet, and said with tears in her eyes: "Why did you come back at this time?" Didn't the mourning family ask you to come back to the family feast together? Your imperial brother has added a few more concubines, and you haven't seen them yet. ”
King An showed a gentle smile, shook his head, and said, "Grandson just misses the imperial grandmother, so he will come back to see it." When the grandson punished himself to guard the tomb for three years, at this time there was less time, and he quietly came back to visit the emperor's grandmother, and the father must have remembered his grandson's filial piety and would not blame...... If the grandson comes back to drink and be lively, I am afraid that the father and the emperor will be unhappy in the spirit of heaven. ”
He did not mention the Empress.
It is estimated that in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, the former queen who killed the former emperor is not worthy of burying the imperial mausoleum and enjoying the royal incense offerings!
The Empress Dowager's eyes were even more fierce, and she said, "Good boy, it's not your fault in the first place......"
King An shook his head and did not speak.
The Queen Mother wiped her tears and did not mention the first queen. How to say that King An is also the son of the first queen, and accusing the former queen of her mistakes in front of him will only make King An even more embarrassed. She is old, and all the toughness was exhausted when the first emperor was seriously ill and the throne was handed over, and at this time she was just an old man with a soft heart and looking forward to the prosperity of her children and grandchildren!
It's just that this wish is not easy to achieve.
The two sons have already gone first, and the grandchildren have only three in total...... Although the emperor has been married for more than a year, he made the concubine happy twice, but both times he slipped and failed to keep the ...... The number of people is thin, even the average family is not as good!
"Is it bitter on the mountain?" The Empress Dowager put away her thoughts, held King An's hand, and said with concern: "Although you are going to guard the mausoleum, you are half the size of the child when you grow your body, and you can't break the fish and meat on weekdays." Otherwise, if you lose your body, it will be too late to regret it in the future......"
chattering and concerning.
King An listened patiently and replied gently, without the slightest hint of impatience.
The grandfather and grandson talked for a while before Emperor Qingping heard the news. Between brothers, it was another courtesy.
"Brother Wang, why did you come back so late!" Emperor Qingping said: "The family banquet is gone!" I thought you wouldn't come back this time! ”
King An explained again.
After hearing this, Emperor Qingping said: "Since you are back, I will stay in the palace for a few more days, accompany the emperor's grandmother to talk, and also accompany me to talk." I haven't spoken with Brother Wang for a few days. ”
"The imperial brother is now the son of heaven, and there are many opportunities for the day, how dare the younger brother take up the imperial brother's time." King An said: "Moreover, I swore in front of my father's spirit for three years, and it is no longer appropriate to leave and return to Beijing today...... I'm going to rush back overnight. ”
Emperor Qingping had to say more, and the Empress Dowager said: "King An's filial piety is commendable, your emperor, don't force him to stay." When he returns in three years, the two of you brothers will have time to talk together. Oh, if the emperor is worried about him, he will urge the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Industry to repair his palace as soon as possible. ”
"Imperial Grandmother, you have been wronged." The emperor pretended to be dissatisfied, and said with a smile: "The construction of King An's Mansion has already started, and it has been largely completed at this time, only the last arrangements are missing." In fact, this is also because Brother Wang can't live for the time being, so I ordered someone to cultivate carefully. If Brother Wang says that he will go back, I will order to go down, and within a month, King An's Mansion will be able to welcome the master! ”
"That's fine." Only then did the Empress Dowager show her satisfaction.
King An also stood up and saluted the emperor: "Thank you for your trouble, my brother is grateful." ”
"It should be, it should be." The emperor laughed, patted King An's shoulder heavily, and said, "You and I are brothers...... I naturally have to pay attention to your affairs. ”
"That's the best." The Empress Dowager sighed lightly: "No matter when, you must remember that you two are brothers-in-law!" Don't let anything lead to a barrier! ”
The two brothers were taught. (To be continued.) )
