Chapter 103
"Yes, the concubine has a good meal, and she is very obedient." Xiao Shizi nodded vigorously, not stingy with his praise for his mother.
Liu Zhenji smiled over, deliberately kissed his little face, and said deliberately, "The mother concubine didn't have it." ”
"Yes," Xiao Shizi touched her face and said, "You are good." ”
Liu Zhenji was so amused by him that he almost looked up to the sky and laughed, and Zhou Rongjun was also funny, so his face softened.
At the gate of the palace, Queen Wan came with the palace maid, and before she saw anyone, she heard laughter, so the corners of her mouth couldn't help but raise some smiles.
Because of the two or three mothers and sons, there was constant laughter in the Feng Palace, which was different from the silence and coldness of the past, but with the addition of many vivid scenes, she was also happy, and she even felt that the days were no longer so long and boring.
**
After Zhou Rongjun came back, sure enough, someone said that the queen was in good health, and the Northwest King and his wife had also lived in the palace for too long.
As soon as these words came out, the emperor did not like it, and the queen did not like it either.
Because of Liu Zhenji's arrangement, the queen eats regularly, and if the emperor steps on it, in addition to breakfast, lunch and dinner can be used in Feng Palace.
He and the queen have not been so calm for many years.
Even if there is a daughter-in-law and grandchildren in between, he thinks it's good.
What he is looking forward to every day is lunch and dinner, his son takes his daughter-in-law and grandchildren away, and the queen has not yet buffered him, and he will not be very happy to meet the queen in the future, Emperor Wen of Zhou is disgusted with the impeached courtiers, so he makes people find something to do with him, saving him from being bored by the court.
The emperor and empress are now partial to them, and Liu Zhenji knows that she is very good, and she also thinks that as long as the emperor and empress don't drive them, she still plans to live cheekily for a while.
For him, she is also quite open-minded.
Because of the prince's affairs, the previous dynasty was very unstable, and the king of the northwest came forward and recommended the three princes to follow the Hubu Shangshu to the northeast to supervise grain.
The emperor approved, and the people of the Li faction and the Zhang faction couldn't think of anything to say for a while.
Now, the eldest prince, the second prince, the fifth prince, the sixth prince, the eighth prince, and the ninth prince are all imprisoned, and the emperor is left, three, four, seven, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, these princes, the ten, twelve, and thirteen princes in the back, except for the eleventh prince who was made the crown prince, are not yet old enough to participate in politics, and now the consul in the court is doing the three, four, and seven princes, and now the seven princes are in the northwest, and the court is walking sideways in the palace of the four emperors, so that the honest three princes can do something, and the ministers have nothing to say.
You can't let the king of the northwest go by himself, can you?
If he goes to the northeast, the prince will have to kneel down next time he sees him, right?
The recommendation of the king of the northwest really left them speechless.
The courtiers had no opinion, and the third prince Zhou Duhe also hung his head, walked carefully, and entered the palace to thank Zhou Yanjun.
Although the third prince has the same father as all the princes, his mother is only a palace maid, and he died in a few years, and the emperor doesn't like him very much, so he handed him over to a concubine to raise, and later went out of the palace, although some of them were almost done to him, but it was also when other princes were not free, he was given some reception to envoys, and a few magistrates and other small things.
No matter how big the errand is, it will be gone.
Not every prince can be like the Four Princes.
There is only what he doesn't want, and there is nothing that the emperor doesn't give.
Zhou Duhe entered the palace to thank him, and was led to Dehong Palace by the chamberlain, at this time Zhou Rongjun also followed Emperor Zhou Wen in the cabinet of the Jude Palace, looking at the old things in the cabinet and arguing with Emperor Wen about state affairs.
Wait until noon, Emperor Wen is going back to eat, and it will be finished.
As soon as they went out, the father-in-law Su who was with him walked over to ask for peace, and told Zhou Rongjun about the three princes waiting in Dehong Palace.
"You go back first." Zhou Rongjun listened and turned his head to Emperor Zhou Wendi.
Emperor Wen of Zhou saw that the hour was not early, nodded and left.
Zhou Rongjun returned to Dehong Palace.
Zhou Duhe was waiting in the side hall of Dehong Palace, and the side hall also had a fire, but it was not where Zhou Rongjun was used to sitting, so he motioned for Zhou Duhe to follow and took him to the imperial study.
In the imperial study, the father-in-law on duty was there, and when he saw Zhou Rongjun and Zhou Duhe, he hurriedly asked for peace, and looked at Zhou Rongjun again.
"Tea." Zhou Rongjun opened his mouth to speak, and took Zhou Duhe to the side of the warm pit to sit.
Zhou Rongjun went up to the warm pit first and sat cross-legged, and seeing that Zhou Duhe was standing there without moving, he opened his mouth lightly, "Brother Sanhuang, sit down." ”
Zhou Duhe smiled at him, shook his hands, and then lifted his robe and sat on the warm pit.
He didn't know how Zhou Rongjun fell in love with him, and he had only come to the imperial study a handful of times in his life, and it was impossible to be as leisurely as Zhou Rongjun was here.
Zhou Duhe has always known that he is also a prince, and there is also a difference between cloud and mud, and a difference between heaven and earth.
"You've been waiting for a long time," Zhou Rongjun took a peanut from the snack plate and peeled it, "Use some dried fruit." ”
"Thank you, Fourth Emperor Brother," Zhou Duhe also pinched a peanut into his hand and slowly peeled it off, smiled dryly, and said, "I came today to thank you, thank you for raising stubble to my father." ”
"Hmm." Zhou Rongjun glanced at him.
Zhou Duhe looks honest and honest, he will do something if he has something, he will not come out of the palace if he has nothing to do, he will not interact with the children of the princes and nobles in Beijing, and he will not go with any official, it seems that it is indeed harmless.
But he received an errand, and he remembered to come and go, and he was not stupid.
Zhou Duhe also thought about it for a long time before coming to the palace.
He came to thank him, and on the other hand, he also wanted to see what Zhou Rongjun asked him to do.
Going to the Northeast to supervise grain is a fat job, as long as he is not as greedy as the prince and is exposed, he will go to a trip, and there will be three or five hundred thousand taels, and it will not be a problem.
This kind of work is nothing for a prince like Zhou Rongjun, and the fief he gets is enough for a thousand years to raise a hundred lion kings, but for a prince like him who gets a reward for the New Year every year, and usually relies on the internal affairs office to pull out silver every six months, three and a half million taels can make him live a decent life for the next year.
As for his fiefdom, it is only better than the five princes who are imprisoned, and the thousands of taels he collects every year can't even afford to buy a decent thing.
Such a good errand fell on his head, whether it was begged by him or not, Zhou Duhe knew that he was going to come and go - the lion king is not a good one, it is better to accept his good, or do something for him.
At this time, the father-in-law on duty brought tea and served a few plates of warm snacks.
"It's not early, Brother Lao Huang waits a lot, eat some cushions." Zhou Rongjun greeted him.
"Thank you, Fourth Emperor Brother."
Zhou Rongjun picked up the chopsticks, ate a fried bun and put it down, took another sip of tea to wash down the oil in his mouth, took the Wenpa at hand and wiped his hands, and said, "Have you been to the Northeast before?" ”
"Nope." Seeing him put down his chopsticks, Zhou Duhe also put down his chopsticks.
Looking at the gentle-looking He Wang in front of him, Zhou Rongjun smiled and nodded, "I haven't been there either." ”
As he spoke, he put the handkerchief back on the plate, and continued, "Brother Sanhuang went to see a few more places this time, if you see anything nice and interesting, come back and talk to me, is it feasible?" ”
"As long as the fourth emperor brother doesn't bother with the stupid brother." Zhou Duhe nodded.
Zhou Duhe is a person who does not have the momentum of a king, even the little thirteen who has been included in the royal genealogy for less than two years is more imposing than him.
He was too modest, but he was still neither humble nor arrogant, and seeing him still behaving like this, Zhou Rongjun raised a smile on his lips.
It's not a stupid thing, as for whether it's honest or fake, he doesn't bother to care, as long as he doesn't follow him.
"No, thank you Brother Sanhuang." Zhou Rongjun had seen people, and he didn't want to stay for a long time, so he got up and got off the ground, "Brother Lao Huang has gone on this trip, the hour is not early, Brother Third Emperor should go back to the house early for lunch." ”
Zhou Duhe was also busy getting off the ground, but his expression was a little stunned, and then he saw Zhou Rongjun raise his feet and go out, he was also busy following out, and when he got out of the imperial study, he couldn't help but ask, "What else does the fourth emperor brother have to say to the foolish brother?" ”
"Huh?" Zhou Rongjun responded casually, and turned around, "Didn't I already say it just now?" ”
"Look, fun?" Zhou Duhe cautiously tested.
Zhou Rongjun patted him on the shoulder, "This time, the Third Emperor Brother must have seen a lot, don't forget to come back and tell me more." ”
With that, he walked away.
The officials in the Northeast should also know that Zhou Duhe was recommended by him, and if he had a heart, he would naturally contact Wang.
When the time comes, he, the three emperor brothers, will not worry about having nothing to say to him.
**
Zhou Rongjun returned to Feng Palace, Feng Palace's lunch was at the end, he sat down, his wife and children surrounded him to pick up vegetables, and Xiao Shizi also took out a piece of meat that he warmed under the rice and dedicated it to his father.
It was rare for the Lion King to get such undivided attention, and when Queen Wan also handed him hot soup, he couldn't help but smile proudly at Emperor Wen of Zhou.
Emperor Wen Zhou's face was free, and when he saw the Lion Dynasty, he smiled, and he smiled toothily, showing elegance and generosity.
It's just that after the meal was over, the lion princess helped Queen Wan and took Xiao Shizi out of the house to go for a walk to eat, and as soon as they walked out of the door, he slapped Zhou Rongjun's head behind him, and his face changed dramatically, "Don't think I can't clean you up, what are you proud of?" That's the queen of Lao Tzu. ”
Zhou Rongjun was beaten, and he couldn't fight back, so he walked to the side and sat with a cold face, looking up at the roof and his eyes were motionless, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Emperor Zhou Wen snorted coldly, lifted his feet and went for a walk with Queen Wan.
After a while, Zhou Rongjun also came, and Emperor Zhou Wen squinted at him when no one was paying attention.
Zhou Rongjun picked up his mouth, didn't speak, looked at his son who was playing with the palace maids in front of him with his hands behind his back, followed the wife who was supporting Queen Wan, and turned around from time to time to look at the little county lord held by Aunt Pianhong, pinched her little tender face, and teased her twice.
However, when he walked to the pavilion and rested as usual, he lowered his head in front of his own princess who had just sat down, and said, "Zhenjier, you can help me see if my head is swollen by someone?" ”
"Huh?" Zhen Jill was surprised.
Who hit him?
Empress Wan, who was sitting next to her, was also stunned, and then her eyes slowly turned to Emperor Zhou Wen on her side......
Emperor Zhou Wen looked ahead, his body was straight, he sat upright, and he scolded the son of a squire in his heart, the old rabbit cub.
