Chapter Twenty-Nine: Above Ten Thousand People
Prince Rui is a legendary figure, never married in his life, there are two brothers above, Jiangshan can't worry about him, so he concentrates on studying strange lewd skills, Emperor Xuanwu just died at that time, he was reluctant to assist Prince Su for a few years, after Emperor Wen of Jin sat down in the country, he simply slapped his ass and ran out to travel the Seven Kingdoms, and he didn't come back for more than ten years.
His arrival made everyone forget the little commotion just now, and they all rushed to look at this legendary prince.
I saw him walk all the way, touching the heads of several nephews and grandchildren like touching three-year-old children, "When I left, you were still wearing open crotch pants, and now you are all married and have a family, okay." ”
Several princes were so red by what he said, he walked straight to Emperor Wen of Jin again, and the big lama made a courtesy, and Emperor Wen of Jin hurriedly helped him up, "The family is reunited, and the imperial uncle doesn't have to be polite." ”
Prince Rui patted Emperor Wen of Jin on the shoulder, "I have spent a few years traveling all over the Seven Kingdoms, and the comprehensive national strength of our Eastern Qin is one or two, so it can be seen that your kid has not been lazy all these years." ”
Emperor Wen of Jin was praised by his elders, and his face was a little proud, and before he had time to humble himself, Prince Rui had already shook off his trouser leg that was still stained with mud stars, took out a budding green plum from the cloth bag on his back, and held it in front of the Queen Mother, "Old sister-in-law, Dongqin can have today, you are indispensable!" Brother Huang wishes you a happy birthday! ”
When the Queen Mother saw Lumei, her eyes lit up, and she rarely smiled, so she ordered Mama Zhou to take it, put it on her nose and sniffed greedily, "You are still capable." "It's a pity that this kind of stunning color can only peep at the leopard, and I can't see the whole green plum in full bloom, which is really a pity." ”
Prince Rui smiled and said, "If you can't see it this year, you can see it next year." ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"I brought back a lot of live branches and grafted them into the plum orchard, and as long as I take care of them, they will bloom next year."
The Queen Mother smiled so much that she couldn't see her eyebrows, "It's not in vain that this palace hurts you." ”
Mama Zhou asked with a smile, "Green plums are produced in Zixu, which is extremely difficult to cultivate, and there are only dozens of trees in the entire Zixu, as if I heard that the treasure of the Queen of Zixu got something, they were all moved to the royal garden, I don't know how Prince Rui got it?" ”
Prince Rui smiled mysteriously, "Don't say it, don't say it." ”
After that, he walked to Bai Wanzhou's side alone, and handed her an inconspicuous and even a little dirty box, "You and Lao Qi are married, and when your uncle fails to attend the wedding, this night pearl will be given to you as a congratulatory gift." ”
Bai Wanzhou opened the box, only to see an egg-sized night pearl inside, exuding a soft light, even in the daytime, it is difficult to hide the brilliance, it is most suitable to be used as a light bulb at night, and hurriedly bowed happily, "Thank you Uncle Huang!" ”
The queen was also very happy to see Prince Rui's weight on Bai Wanzhou, but after all, the night pearl is a treasure that is hard to find, and Bai Wanzhou accepted it so lightly, it was inevitable that she was too ignorant, so she reminded in a low voice, "The night pearl is a treasure of the world, and your children can't afford it." ”
Bai Wanzhou quietly looked around, and found that everyone's eyes were red, only to realize that what this little old man gave him was not an ordinary thing, so he had to push it back, "Uncle's kindness Wanzhou understands." ”
Prince Rui turned his head and criticized the queen, "Queen, after all these years, why are you still so childish?" Your father and your eldest brother are both bold people, but they raised you to be cautious. ”
Seeing that Prince Rui was sincere, the queen smiled at Bai Wanzhou and said, "You can accept it, or Uncle Huang doesn't know how to arrange this palace." ”
Bai Wanzhou happily accepted the night pearl, but Liao Guifei spoke, "Uncle Huang, King Huai and his wife got married last year, and you gave a big gift, and King Ying and his wife only got married a few days ago, you can't favor one over the other!" ”
Concubine Nan was already unhappy, and her face became more and more ugly when she was picked on like this.
Who knew that Prince Rui just glanced at Chu Zuiyun lightly, "This girl's grandfather still has less good things in his hands?" She won't think about my. ”
Chu Zuiyun got up and blessed Prince Rui, and said coquettishly, "Uncle is too partial, Yun'er doesn't agree." ”
Prince Rui looked sloppy, "If you marry your husband, don't call me uncle in the future, and call me uncle with the sixth child." ”
Chu Zuiyun smiled and said "No", his face was full of the coquettishness of his little daughter, and when his eyes swept over Bai Wanzhou, he was a little disdainful.
No matter how good the night pearl is, it is just the icing on the cake for her, but it is dispensable, so she won't be like a bandit girl who can see her eyeballs out.
Prince Rui is an old man, he will not be involved in the intrigue of women, the next moment, he has folded to the queen mother, and he does not pay attention to any etiquette, grabbed the queen mother's wrist and began to check the pulse, for a while, his face was solemn, "Imperial sister-in-law, your thirst symptoms are not light!" ”
Emperor Wen of Jin knew that this uncle was also proficient in medical skills, and when he heard him say this, he couldn't help but be nervous, "The queen mother has always restrained her diet, and the Tai Hospital also boils soup and delivers medicine on time every day, and she says that the condition is under control, how can the symptoms not be mild?" ”
Prince Rui glanced at the Queen Mother's dining table, pushed the terried rice and radish porridge aside, and glared at Emperor Wen of Jin fiercely, "Spending so much real money to raise a Tai Hospital, it's all waste!" I don't know much about the seventh daughter-in-law, how can I drink porridge if I quench my thirst? ”
Bai Wanzhou didn't react until now, this little old man paved the way until now, it turned out that he wanted to support himself!
Everyone here knows that Prince Rui is well-read, and he has said so, which is enough to prove that Bai Wanzhou is not talking nonsense.
The Queen Mother frowned and sneered, "After drinking radish porridge for so long with the clear soup and little water of the mourning family, you are actually drinking poison?" ”
Prince Rui shrugged, "Isn't it. ”
Concubine Nan's face was full of concern, "It's okay, I can't even eat radish porridge, what else can I eat?" ”
Prince Rui raised his eyebrows at Bai Wanzhou, and Bai Wanzhou could only stubbornly say, "The diet of thirst-quenching patients should pay attention to three suitables and three unsuitables, coarse grains, beans, bitterness, molasses, offal, and alcohol. Keeping this principle in mind and using drugs rationally, it can be no different from a normal person. ”
Prince Rui smiled mischievously, "Grandchildren see the same thing. Niece and granddaughter-in-law, I don't think you are slightly familiar with Qi Huang, you are proficient! Good people do it to the end, send the Buddha to the west, it is better to prescribe a prescription for your imperial grandmother by the way, the group of fools in the Tai Hospital, I am afraid that the medicine prescribed is better than nothing. ”
Bai Wanzhou knew that she was in the limelight today, and she had become a thorn in the side of many people, so she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Don't you dare!" Wanzhou just knows a little bit of fur, and the imperial grandmother's daughter is not to be joked. ”
Prince Rui glanced at Bai Wanzhou with appreciation, and the one who can converge on the cusp of the storm must not be something in the pool.
In the next banquet, the Queen Mother barely moved her chopsticks, nor could she see her joy or anger, but she didn't speak coldly. The emperor didn't dare to say much, but the two concubines tried their best to coax her, but they didn't arouse her half a smile.
The clansmen stayed up until the feast was over, and they all scattered as birds and beasts.
Nangong Cheng also took Bai Wanzhou back early, and the two were silent all the way, ignoring each other, but they were also very harmonious.
Back at the Huaiwang Mansion, the sky was already dark, Bai Wanzhou couldn't wait to hang the night pearl in the tent, the whole room was instantly shrouded in soft white light, just like lighting an electric light, Bai Wanzhou was very happy, thinking that when he saw Prince Rui again one day, he must thank him well.
Inside the Imperial Palace, the Palace of Ruyi.
The Queen Mother was reading a book of the History of the Seven Kingdoms, and suddenly felt that her eyes were blindfolded by something, and the handwriting in the book became blurry, and she wiped it with a fine silk, but it was even more blurry, and she couldn't even see the face of Mama Zhou, who was sitting on the side embroidering.
The Queen Mother panicked, touched with both hands, and unexpectedly knocked down the candlestick, and the candle flame burned the tiger skin carpet again.
Mama Zhou stepped on a few feet to extinguish the fire, "Queen Mother, are you okay?" ”
The Queen Mother's eyes were hollow, and her voice trembled slightly, "Ah Qiu, the eyes of the mourning family are gone." ”
