As soon as Chi Chong's words were finished, the second prince who was walking in front suddenly stopped and turned around.

"Weichen lost his words......" Chi Chong's eyes met his gaze, and then he subconsciously lowered his eyebrows to avoid it.

But before he could say the following half of the sentence of forgiveness, he heard the second prince say slowly: "You are the first to mention this way of thinking about the problem, but if you think about it, there is still some truth." ”

Chi Zhong heard the positive feelings from his words, and then raised his head, but then he said: "But not everyone can think about problems as you do, let's just say that in Huayang Palace, maybe for some reason, there are still many people who are easy to make a big fuss." As he said this, a slight look of concern appeared on his face.

"This may be the majority of people who are afraid of taking responsibility...... Chi Chong groaned slightly, the look in his eyes condensed for a moment, and then slowly recovered his usual appearance. During these few breaths, his expression changed, faintly reflecting that he was deciding to do something—in fact, it should be regarded as a responsibility, a commitment.

After being silent for a moment, Chi Zhong said with an extremely serious expression: "I don't have the ability to know and control what others think, and the only thing I can influence and decide is myself." Your Highness, I am your close bodyguard, but in addition to my work of guarding your safety, I want you to live easily and well-being, and I am willing to serve you. ”

The second prince stared at him intently, and after a while, he said two words: "Okay." ”

As he spoke, he took two steps back, stood beside Chi Chong, stretched out his hand and pressed his shoulder, and said gently: "My joy cannot be shared with you, but if I transfer my boredom to you, it may bring you endless trouble." Isn't it unfair to you that these are responsibilities that you can not bear? ”

Chi Zhong didn't defend or modify his feelings, but replied in a deep voice: "Other than this, I don't know what else I can do for you." ”

"I'll try to live according to your advice, but please be able to talk a little more when you're around me in the future." The second prince smiled slightly, and continued: "No matter whether there is anything wrong with what you say, I will not blame you." Say it. It's your freedom, it's up to me to decide whether to listen or not, that's how to be friends. Of course, if you need any help, you can also bring it up, even if I may not be able to help you solve it completely, I can share some of it. ”

Chi Chong was stunned when he heard this. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something terrible, he said in shock, "Your Highness...... What happened last year in the Orthodox Hall, I ...... I would never dare to do it a second time! ”

The second prince shook his head lightly when he heard this, not knowing whether he was denying or affirming something, he didn't say anything more. Just the hand resting on Chi Chong's shoulder patted lightly and said, "Let's go." ”

The two walked unhurriedly to Princess Xinzhu's bedroom, walked through the winding corridor between the courtyards, stepped into the main hall of Cuiwei Palace, bypassed the screen, and before entering the door of the side room, they saw a bright yellow figure in the side room.

The side room is the princess's bedroom, and Chi Zhong naturally can't follow the second prince to continue to walk, but he also noticed the figure. That is, one knee in the hall of the outdoor. After performing the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, he stood in a corner of the hall and waited.

The second prince walked into the side room, and the first thing he saw was the emperor sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at the princess lying in the brocade quilt with concern. Then I saw Concubine De standing aside.

"The sons and daughters meet their father, the emperor and the mother." As soon as the second prince walked in, he waved his hand at the two of them, and then approached the bedside, and said in a tone full of worry: "Sister, do you feel uncomfortable now?" As he spoke, he picked up the corner of the quilt for Princess Xinzhu, and on the side blocked by the figure, something in the sleeve slipped into the brocade quilt and touched the princess's shoulder.

"I swallowed some cold water, and most of it was spit out, just now the imperial doctor came to see it, and my sister is fine." Princess Xinzhu's lips were slightly pale, but her smile was very kind. She sat up from the bed with her body propped up, and the second prince hurriedly pulled out a pillow and leaned on her back. The princess breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm sorry to disturb your rest again." ”

The second prince also looked apologetic, and said warmly: "It's my fault, if I hadn't given the silver carp order to Nuonuo, you wouldn't have left the palace, and there would be no matter in the back." ”

"That's not necessarily, without the Companion Order, Nuno may find other ways to take me out, and the result may be worse." When Princess Xinzhu said this, she suddenly thought that the emperor was sitting aside, and what she said might not be good for Ye Nuonuo, so she quickly stopped talking, and glanced at the emperor, and sure enough, she saw a trace of displeasure on his face.

"I'll give it back to you now!" Princess Xinzhu said, the hand buried in the brocade quilt was withdrawn, and a silver token was held in her hand, and it was handed to the second prince. After he took the token, she looked at the emperor again, and said with guilt on her face: "Father, the son will not be as foolish as he is today in the future, and if the son wants to leave the palace in the future, he will definitely tell you justifiably, whether you agree or not." ”

The emperor looked at her and nodded his head, and said slowly: "This little tribulation has made you understand a truth, and I feel a little relieved while worrying. Growing up requires setbacks and hardships, and you, as a princess of a country, must have the courage to take responsibility in order to be worthy of being my daughter. ”

"Yes, the son has been taught." Princess Xinzhu nodded sincerely.

"You have a good rest, my father can't accompany you more, so let's go." The emperor's eyes showed a look of love, and he glanced at Concubine De who was standing on the side, and said: "Xin'er, this child, has the same temperament as Hong'er, and likes to support everything alone, and I want to trouble you to watch her a little bit and tell her to rest well these days." ”

"Xin'er is not as ignorant as you say, and taking care of her is not annoying at all, just leave these things to the concubine!" Concubine De said goodbye to the emperor, and then walked to the edge of the bed and sat down.

At the same time, the emperor got up and left the bedside, and greeted the second prince while making a gesture to go outside.

Under the emperor's orders, several royal guards, including Chi Chong, were far away from a few zhang away, and the second prince followed the emperor and slowly walked in the corridor between the courtyards of Cuiwei Palace.

Walking casually to a pavilion in the middle of a corridor, the emperor stood still, looked at the second prince who had stopped following closely, and asked in a gentle tone: "Hong'er, how are you doing today?" How does your body feel? ”

"I ......" The second prince opened his mouth, and was about to say the words "I'm okay" habitually like he usually faced the question asked by his father, when his gaze suddenly swept to Chi Chong, who had just seen it not far away, at this moment, he suddenly changed his mind and said slowly: "It's almost the same as usual, but it's still easy to feel hot and cold." In the afternoon, I walked around the Imperial Garden, thinking that today was the first day of the Spring Festival, but I couldn't go out of the palace to enjoy the apricots, so I couldn't help but go to the place where Aunt Ye used to live, but I didn't expect that I was not the only one who went there, but I also met my mother. ”

"Beiyuan ......" The emperor thought of the virtuous concubine who had passed away for nearly ten years, and he turned around and looked into the distance with the pavilion railing, with a look of amazement on his face. After a while, this unpleasant-looking look faded away from his face, and he turned his head, smiled slightly, and said, "The way you speak today is a little different from before, why didn't you say those three words again?" In fact, I don't believe in those three words more and more, but like what you said today, although I am a little worried, I also feel a little more grounded than when I heard your reply before. ”

When the second prince heard this, his heart moved, and he said apologetically: "My father works hard for state affairs day and night, and my sons are powerless to help anything, and they add a burden to you, which really shouldn't be." ”

"Don't blame yourself for it." The emperor looked at the second prince lovingly, and said: "As a father, it is a sin not to be able to give his children a healthy body. Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped talking, and then said: "Don't talk about this, let's talk about the other garden, has the apricot tree in the corner bloomed again?" ”

The second prince nodded, and then smiled: "It's strange to say, every spring, that apricot tree seems to have made an appointment with the apricot tree on the apricot fir road, and it blooms at the same time every time!" ”

The emperor also smiled and said, "In the final analysis, this apricot tree can bloom every year, and you have a share of it. If it weren't for the cluster of apricot branches you folded back from outside the palace, which was inserted in the mud by Concubine Xian, it would not have grown to this point. When he said this, he exhaled softly, "I hope that this apricot tree, which has been reborn by your hands, will bloom and renew every year, and it is also a symbol of a good omen for you." The world is so big, I hope that the ancestors will bless me, so that I can find a miracle doctor and make you strong as much as possible. ”

At the mention of this link, the second prince's heart couldn't help but feel slightly gloomy, but he didn't show this feeling, because the father didn't like his son to be sad and sad.

Just when the two were relatively silent, the emperor suddenly spoke again, but the topic turned to another matter, which made the second prince feel a little at a loss.

"Nono, that girl really went a little too far this time. Because of Ye Qing, I agreed that she would often enter the palace and chat with you, but how could she ask you to go to the Silver Carp Order because of this? After the emperor counted the daughter of the imperial physician Ye, he looked at the second prince and reproached: "You are really too permissive to her, when I handed over the silver carp order to you, I told you something." You are my child, you should know the truth that with great power comes great responsibility, and you are not allowed to mess around like this in the future. ”

The second prince had long been mentally prepared to be blamed for this incident, and when he heard that he only apologized respectfully, he did not justify anything-even though he was helping others carry the black pot, he was willing to carry it.

However, after he apologized and confessed, he couldn't help but beg for a word: "Father, can you not tell Imperial Doctor Ye about this matter, otherwise Nuo Nuo may have to suffer from family law." In fact, if it weren't for Erchen wanting to see the apricot blossoms on Xingshan Road today, she wouldn't have reluctantly picked today's day when the palace ban has doubled to run this trip. ”。 (To be continued.)
