Chapter 360: Softness and Kindness
The silence of the night seemed to be able to hide the chaos, but the heart hidden under the skin could sense what had happened and what had been experienced here.
The things that were injured in the palace because of the relief of worries suddenly spread like a plague, from the queen mother to the concubines, all of them rushed towards the Chaoyang Palace like a group of light moths that saw the light; Except for the Queen Mother and the others, Zhao Yan blocked them from the palace gate with a strict order. probably didn't want too many people to disturb their father and daughter, so they came and coaxed, and gradually the later people retreated.
Zhao Yan has been guarding the sleeping worries in front of the dragon couch every step of the way, for fear that she will have an accident.
"Your Majesty, it's late at night, Your Royal Highness the princess is still being taken care of by the servants here."
He hadn't gotten up and walked around for four hours, and Jiang De couldn't help but be a little worried about whether Zhao Yan's body could afford it. And Zhao Yan just made a silent gesture sternly, reminding him in a low voice.
"Be quiet. I'm not sleepy, I want to spend more time with this girl. ”
Watching the fingerprints on his face turn into purple slush, it also caused Jiang De to sigh a little. In the past eight years, when have you ever seen the emperor give a heavy hand to Princess Xie Wu? Even if you talk heavily, you have to say it with anger; Looking at the situation today, it is estimated that the relief of worries has hit the sore spot in Zhao Yan's heart for a while, and he has lost his weight in the first place.
It was probably Jiang De's sigh that touched the guilt in Zhao Yan's heart, and he stroked his little hand over and over again, while blaming himself.
"I always thought that this child was well protected by me, and it was not until today that I realized that some of her daily happiness was just pretending, so as not to worry me, the father. Ah Heng was right. It was my weakness and incompetence that did not protect Xiaoyu well, so that this child did not have the pain of his mother since he was a child. ”
Gently raised her little hand to kiss her lips, but Zhao Yan's expression showed decline and helplessness. Blurred the royal temperament in him.
"Your Majesty, forgive the slave for saying too much. In fact, Your Majesty, you have done a good job, but as far as Her Royal Highness the Princess is concerned, there are some things that the Emperor alone cannot replace. After all, the princess is still a child, and the emperor can't be by her side at any time, and over time, her temperament will inevitably be pampered and willful. In fact, it was just because Her Royal Highness the princess was afraid of being lonely. ”
"Jiang De, what you said is reasonable, and I understand. Sometimes confronted with this child. I can't help but ask myself if there's something wrong with her that isn't good enough for her, not responsible enough; And today, after listening to this girl's heart, I suddenly realized that my father was so incompetent, and even what his daughter really wanted. I don't know what I like. I'm ashamed of Xiao Yu under Jiuquan"
"The emperor doesn't blame himself, the slave thinks that the emperor has taught the princess to relieve worries very well. Although the princess is a little pampered on weekdays, the slave seems to be a very sensible child, and she has never heard of a discord between her and a prince and princess; What new things does the emperor give on weekdays, which time is it not the princess who generously sent someone to distribute it? But on the contrary, the princess's friendliness is nothing more than an invitation to favor in the eyes of many people, and then isolate and alienate the princess in the palace. Enthusiasm is cold, so the princess will inevitably feel lonely. ”
Hear these things. Zhao Yan's eyebrows couldn't help but show some displeasure, and he asked Jiang De with reproach.
"Now that you've noticed these things. Why don't you remind me? ”
"The emperor Mingjian, after all, it is the emperor's family matter, and the slave has always thought that the emperor knows it in his heart, so naturally he doesn't dare to say more. Besides, Her Royal Highness the princess has always restrained the people in Jinle Palace very well, and she is not allowed to say anything about any grievances she has suffered elsewhere on weekdays, for fear that the emperor will be angry if you are worried. ”
In this way, the anger in Zhao Yan's heart went further, and the guilt was deeper; frowned, and briefly recalled the fact that the concubines came to visit and relieve their worries before, and Zhao Yan also said angrily.
"On weekdays, they face each other in front of me, but behind their backs, they do such chilling things. Every time people change their faces, my harem is really good! ”
Although it is not appropriate to speak at this time, Jiang De has always loved this princess of anxiety, and he also continued to speak for her at the risk of angering Long Yan.
"Your Majesty, do you know if you should say a word or not?"
"Speak!"
Zhao Yan was sonorous and listened attentively. After all, Jiang De is the head of internal affairs in the palace, and the angles he sees and hears on weekdays are different, so there must be a different taste.
"The so-called intimacy is different, no matter how good the princess is taken care of in this palace, according to the view of the slave, he is just looking at the emperor's face. If one day the princess no longer pleases the emperor, who will look at Her Royal Highness the princess? The decline of the well is already considered to be benevolent and righteous. The situation is different in the people, without the struggle for power and intrigue in this palace, the care given by others is always a little warmer. The princess has been lonely since she was a child, and now it is rare for someone to shush and ask for warmth by her side, laughing and laughing with her, Her Royal Highness the princess inherited the softness and kindness of Concubine Chen, how can she bear to see them suffer? After all, who does the slave think is really good to her, and she also tries her best to be good to others, and has a good heart. ”
"Jiang De, you have gone around such a big circle in the name of relieving worries, do you want to intercede for Zhu Xishi in that prison or for Shen Fulu, who has nothing to do?"
The twists and turns did not confuse Zhao Yan, but the tone was not as majestic as before, Jiang De estimated his thoughts, and continued to speak with courage.
"The minion doesn't intercede for anyone, but he doesn't want to see Her Royal Highness sad again. The emperor should also feel like this, every time he sees Her Royal Highness the princess laughing heartily, even if there is a big worry, it will immediately disappear. The woman surnamed Zhu in the prison could see that she was not interested in fame and fortune and was really good to the princess, so Her Royal Highness the princess who could suppress her pampered temperament called her 'aunt'; and she had a great relationship with the late Concubine Chen, and the slave thought that if the princess knew about it, she would not stand idly by and watch a person who had helped her mother. As for the child named Shen Fulu, the slave thinks that things gather people in groups, and he can be accepted by the woman surnamed Zhu as an apprentice, so he is naturally passable in character and morality. ”
Regardless of whether Shen Fulu who had escaped without a trace for the time being, Zhu Xishi, who was now in custody in the prison, caused Zhao Yan to think deeply for a while. After touching herself, she can naturally see her character, she is strong and straightforward, and she is responsible, and she is kind to Huo Xiaoyu first, and Zhao Yan, who is in this state of mind, also has a lot of soft-heartedness.
"Since I talked about the woman surnamed Zhu, I want to ask you, how can I get her out of the prison naturally? I don't want to hurt Ah Heng's heart anymore, if you can come up with a reasonable solution, I will pardon her. ”
It's just that everything needs a matter of course, and when it comes to pardoning Zhu Xi in the prison, there is still a lack of a step that can convince the public. With a move of his eyebrows, Zhao Yan asked Jiang De's opinion meaningfully. (To be continued......)
