Chapter 296: Five Years
Time flies, time flies like a white horse, and it has been five years in a blink of an eye.
Zhao Hongyi received a summons from the palace, the Queen Mother was seriously ill and wanted to see him, is the Queen Mother finally going to die? The Queen Mother has lived for too long, so far away that her relatives have forgotten her, Mrs. Zhao frowned, helped her son find out the previous clothes to change, and told him to be careful, to be softer, to bow his head.
"Mother, don't worry, Zhou Yun hit me on the left cheek, and I gave him the right cheek to beat, I don't have the same knowledge as him."
The heroic son was tempered by the royal family to become a merchant, and Mrs. Zhao couldn't swallow this breath and had to swallow it, for the lives of the mother and son, she had to endure any grievances.
The Queen Mother still lives in Wanchun Palace, and the royal family rules the world with filial piety, and does not treat the Queen Mother badly.
Lying on the sickbed was a shriveled old woman, the queen mother looked at Zhao Hongyi and nodded, let go of a heart, the only daughter eldest princess is gone, leaving children and the royal family has nothing to do, her relatives in the world are only this nephew, the emperor and the prince who live on the throne are not her relatives.
spent all her life in the deep palace, and in the end there was nothing, this is the fate of the Queen Mother.
Zhao Hongyi came out of Wanchun Palace, there was no sadness or joy in his heart, what does the Queen Mother have to do with him, this grandmother is the glory of the Zhao family, how can it not be a disaster for the Zhao family, facing the cold wind, waxing seven and eight, freezing off the chin, this day is really cold, the branches are full of snow, and the bluestone slabs under the feet are cleaned up.
The little eunuch led the way in front, Zhao Hongyi recognized that this was the way to the East Palace, did Zhou Yun want to see him? Zhao Hongyi squinted his eyes at the gray sky, imagining Zhou Yun's appearance.
They hadn't seen each other for seven years.
Chongwen Hall was very warm, Zhao Hongyi stretched out two hands, and laughed, and the little eunuch touched his whole body, and then let him in, Zhou Yun looked at him behind the bookcase and smiled, "You are here, Hongyi." ”
Zhou Yun greeted him with a smile, a little taller than him.
Zhao Hongyi knelt down, his brows still raised, "You want me to kneel you, I kneel, you got your wish." ”
Zhou Yun smiled and stretched out his hand to help him, Zhao Hongyi dodged without a trace, and stood up, over the years, Zhao Hongyi's anger in his stomach has long been gone, he still has to live, he still has an old lady to support, Zhou Yun can crush him to death with a word, how dare he not bow his head under the low eaves.
"It's your birthday, and it's my son's birthday, so I'll treat you to noodles."
Zhou Yun smiled and gave up his seat, his expression was calm, Zhao Hongyi sat down loudly, stretched out his legs and looked at Zhou Yun.
Zhou Yun is no longer the beautiful little boy in his impression, he is also twenty years old, with thick and slender eyelashes, the corners of his eyes are slightly raised, his bright eyes are looking at him with a smile, with a playful smile at the corners of his mouth, his bearing is more and more graceful, elegant and a little handsome, and there is a touch of gentleness in elegance.
"Hongyi, we haven't seen each other for a few years, and I don't dare to forget you all these years."
"Don't dare to forget? Also, the Zhao family is a thief, don't you dare to forget. ”
Zhou Yun smiled, "What I don't dare to forget is you." ”
The little eunuch brought steaming shredded meat noodles, and Zhou Yun really invited him to eat noodles.
A small head poked out from the back of the bookcase, and a big eye like a clear spring looked at him curiously, Zhao Hongyi couldn't help but look over, this child is the appearance of Brother Shen back then, with a fair and smooth little face with a little baby fat, a straight nose, an upturned little mouth, the child is wearing a bright yellow, this is a pampered little prince, not Brother Shen, this is Brother Shen'er's son.
It's the son of the guy named Zhou Yun.
Zhou Yun smiled with a smile in his eyebrows, took the noodles and handed them to the little boy, "Qing'er's longevity noodles." ”
The little prince obediently took the meeting, the little eunuch was waiting on the side, the little prince had a great interest in Zhao Hongyi, looked at him quietly, and met Zhao Hongyi's eyes, like a frightened little rabbit, hurriedly lowered his head to eat noodles, and looked at him quietly.
Zhao Hongyi picked up the chopsticks and ate them, he hadn't eaten such a delicacy for a long time, he was still disdainful in his heart, but his taste buds were not angry, he simply swept the clouds, the little prince looked at him in surprise, and even forgot to eat the noodles.
Zhou Yun also ate quickly, and looked at Zhao Hongyi and smiled after eating.
Zhao Hongyi stood up and wiped his mouth, "Your Highness, can the grass people go back?" The grass people also have to sell their goods to support their families. ”
"Hongyi is leaving? I won't send you alone. ”
Zhao Hongyi snorted in his throat, turned around and was about to go out, his eyes lingered on the little prince's face again, and after thinking for a while, he took something off his waist and handed it to the little eunuch, "This is what I sold and got it, give it to you little prince, and throw it away if you don't want it." ”
The little eunuch hurriedly looked at the prince, the prince nodded, and Zhao Hongyi strode away.
Zhao Hongyi's heart was like a mess, he remembered that he had first seen Brother Shen, slightly older than the little prince, and swore in public at the banquet of Yanci Palace, when he was eleven or twelve years old, his eyes were older than him, he would not play with children, and then it was only a year or two of kung fu, they were all the companions of the eldest prince, so they were familiar with each other.
Zhao Hongyi couldn't remember Li Yuqin's appearance a little.
He still clearly remembers Brother Shen, Brother Shen is a thorn in his heart, it was too deep, he couldn't pull it out, the thorn was rotten in the flesh, he was put on a pose by Zhou Yun, and he was too stupid to stick a hot face to other people's cold butts, Zhao Hongyi laughed silently, now he doesn't give Zhou Yun a good face, Zhou Yun doesn't care at all.
Zhou Yun also took care of what he was doing, sent someone to save his mother, gave him a pair of burdens, he simply became a merchant, selling goods in the streets and alleys, he could also support his mother as a merchant.
The little prince looked at the prince, "Daddy, who was that person just now?" ”
"He's a merchant, a seller."
"That man's eyes are so bright, he is so scary."
Zhou Yun fiddled with the stamp that Zhao Hongyi gave to the little prince thoughtfully, the stamp was rusty yellow-green copper rust, and the carved ancient seal was dipped in Yinqin mud and buckled on the paper, and there were clear words on the paper "A thousand quintals of daily income".
Zhou Yun's heart moved, and he gave the order to drive, and the little prince knew that he had gone to see the emperor's grandfather, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to wait for the little eunuch to serve, wearing a thick mink fur cloak, and Zhou Yun sat in a dragon chariot, the emperor was weak and couldn't take the little emperor and grandson, so he was taken by the prince and let the little emperor and grandson follow him to listen to the government.
The emperor snorted coldly when he saw the crown prince, "Zhao Hongyi is gone?" ”
Zhou Yun curled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "It's also a bit of a gain, Zhao Hongyi gave Qing Yu a small poke." ”
"You still dare to let Qingyu see him, you, you really don't let me worry."
The emperor panted again and again, and pulled Xiao Qingyu to look up and down, as if Zhao Hongyi glanced at it, Qingyu had a piece of meat, Zhou Yun smiled and handed over the piece of paper, "Daddy, have you seen this stamp?" ”
The Emperor took it and pondered, "Where do you seem to have seen it?" ”
Zhou Yun gave a look, the queen went out with Qingyu, and there was no one in the dormitory, "Daddy just think about it twenty-six or seven years ago." ”
The emperor sat up suddenly, "Jiujiang Secret Tent!" Bring it to me. ”
The emperor remembered that he had personally collected those few things, and was busy helping the prince to stand up, and stumbled twice, the prince stretched out his hand to help him, and the emperor's legs were swollen, and it was difficult to walk, so he personally opened the Duobao Pavilion and collected the account book for many years, and there was a musty smell, and there was indeed this stamp in the inconspicuous place on the title page.
The emperor's hands trembled a little, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Zhao Hongyi sent it?" Sure enough, it's their Zhao family, I should crush their family to ashes! ”
Zhou Yun helped the emperor to sit down, "My son doesn't think so, Zhao Hongyi said that he received it when he was selling goods, what he said may be false, his son thinks it's unnecessary, he may really get it unintentionally." ”
The emperor pointed at Zhou Yun and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it, and the emperor's thinking obviously couldn't keep up.
"Zhao Hongyi has not been followed by people, and his son will send more people to him, if this poke is the Zhao family's clue, if it is not the Zhao family, the water behind it is too deep."
The wrinkles on the emperor's face have deepened a little, he has dealt with the forces behind him all his life, he has suspected Prince Baoyin, he has suspected the Zhao family, and it has not been implemented in the end, how can the emperor rest assured.
"You send Lu Yu over, and leave this matter to him."
"My son will arrange to go, and Zhao Hongyi will also send more manpower there, so my father can rest assured."
The emperor rubbed the two legs of the hair wood and sighed, he was old.
This poke can't be given to the little emperor grandson, the emperor personally put it away, and asked the queen mother's illness, seeing that the New Year is coming, the queen mother must not be unlucky, Zhou Yun also found the imperial doctor to advise, and he thought so in his heart, the queen mother wanted to see Zhao Hongyi, and the prince reported to the emperor for special approval, which met the queen mother's wishes.
The Queen Mother still didn't survive, and a few days later, she died.
The palace is busy with funerals, and there are knighthoods in the capital, and the lady of the title is ordered to make up according to the products, and they all go to the imperial tomb to send the spirit.
The emperor was ill, the eunuch supported him to the queen mother's spirit and wept, the prince knelt and asked the emperor to return to the palace, the emperor feint angry, the prince knelt down again, the imperial doctor Chen said that it was powerful, begging the emperor to take the world as the priority, the emperor had no choice but to do it himself, the prince was worried about the emperor's body, and ordered the little emperor grandson to stay by the emperor's side to serve the sick, and the queen and the princess cried and did their filial piety.
There is no way to wear the mink fur inside, the prince is young and doesn't feel anything, the queen and the princess can't help it, and those ladies who are destined to cry according to the hour, they are easy to endure for seven days, and it takes ten days and half a month to send the spirit, and this year will not be used.
The queen and the princess were frozen and tired for several days, they all took off a layer of skin, and finally came back after completing the task, the queen was glad in her heart that the emperor was sick, and the little emperor and grandson had a reason to stay, otherwise how could such a little child get it, and the previous dynasty was not without such a thing, a filial piety is greater than the sky, and the royal family pays special attention to such decency.
In the end, the emperor blew the cold wind, and he couldn't get up when he was sick, the queen took the concubines to serve the sick, the princess personally decocted the medicine, and the people guarded the state funeral, and even the fishy meat had to be eaten secretly.
Lu Yu finally arrived from the countryside where he lived in seclusion, and the emperor withdrew everyone and met with Lord Lu in secret. R1152
