Chapter 129: A Different Look
"Erchen has seen his father, please say hello to his father!"
"The concubine has seen the emperor, and the emperor is blessed with gold."
Hearing the voice of the little eunuch outside the door, the eleventh prince and Concubine Yun immediately got up and went out to greet each other.
"Get up." Emperor Zhengwu bowed his head, walked into the house with steps, saw the eight large food plates on the table of the eight immortals, and said in a deep tone: "It seems that I came unfortunately, disturbing the dining of Concubine Ai and Xiao Eleven." ”
Concubine Yun was shocked, and was about to speak, but the eleventh prince on the side had already stepped forward and sat down at the table with Emperor Zhengwu in his arms, "Look at what my father said, the mother concubine is still talking to her son, saying that the imperial dining room has sent steamed flying dragon meat today, which is my father's favorite food." ”
"The mother concubine knows that her father's dynasty is busy, and I am afraid that I don't have time to eat this flying dragon meat, and I regret it for a while." The eleventh prince smiled, two dimples appeared on his bulging cheeks, and his round black eyes were shining, full of the sincerity of a young man.
"Hmph." Emperor Zhengwu snorted lightly, and his face had two smiles. Emperor Zhengwu took advantage of the situation and went downhill, pointed his finger at the table and scolded with a smile: "Among my sons and daughters, you are the one who is sharp-tongued, and no one else can compare." ”
"Father Xie praised." The eleventh prince smiled with a smile on his face, and then turned his head to look at the pink-clothed palace maid on the side, "What are you still stunned about?" Don't hurry up and add blessings to your father. ”
"Yes." The palace maid answered, and quickly turned around and went out.
Seeing that Concubine Yun was still standing aside, the eleventh prince was afraid that Emperor Zhengwu, who had finally eased his emotions, would be angry again, so he thought about it again and again, and finally smiled: "Mother Concubine also come and sit?" Erchen hasn't sat down to eat with his father and mother like this for a few days. ”
"Huh." Concubine Yun smiled unnaturally and sat down opposite Emperor Zhengwu.
The palace maid quickly sent a new pair of chopsticks.
There are many royal rules, and he has always paid attention to food and does not say anything when eating, but Emperor Zhengwu is always a little biased towards the eleventh prince in his heart, so he can't ask a few more words when eating.
From the riding and archery to the four books and five classics, Emperor Zhengwu immediately spot-checked, and the eleventh prince could answer, and if he was really unsure, he directly said "the son is stupid".
In this way, Emperor Zhengwu did not blame many people, but nodded frequently, very satisfied with the eleventh prince's not arrogant and impatient temperament.
"It doesn't matter, now that you are still young, there are still many days to study in the future." Emperor Zhengwu said softly, and then his eyes suddenly fell back to the eleventh prince, "It's just a little bit, don't rely on your young age to study hard, waste your studies, and live up to my expectations." ”
The eleventh prince straightened up his small chest and patted it, looking like a manly man, "Father, rest assured, the sons will definitely study hard, and in the future, they will be as good as several brothers, and share their worries for their father." ”
Emperor Zhengwu was relieved and happy to hear this, and let the eunuch who was clothing vegetables on the side go down, and he personally sandwiched a chopsticks of flying dragon meat for the eleventh prince, and won a few words of sincere thanks from the eleventh prince.
Emperor Zhengwu and the eleventh prince are not as estranged as other princes, but more like the father and son of ordinary people's families, it stands to reason that it is not a bad thing for his son to be liked by Emperor Zhengwu, but Concubine Yun always feels unsteady in her heart.
In the harem, Concubine Yun herself has no intention of competing for favor, and because of this easy-going temperament, her power is far less than that of several other imperial concubines and imperial concubines. The more Emperor Zhengwu favored the eleventh prince, the more unique it became, all of which pushed the eleventh prince to the front of everyone......
If someone with evil intentions wants to attack the eleventh prince, then ...... So does she have what it takes to keep the eleventh prince?
Thinking about things in her heart, Concubine Yun was uneasy, the chopsticks in her hand shook, and a piece of white jade lotus held by the chopsticks fell on the table with a "click".
Emperor Zhengwu turned his eyes, his eyebrows frowned slightly, as if he was dissatisfied and wanted to reprimand, and the eleventh prince suddenly said: "Father, the son hasn't seen the prince's brother for a while, can you ...... Can you ......?"
The eleventh prince laughed dryly, and was embarrassed to continue.
Emperor Zhengwu was diverted by the eleventh prince, pondered for a moment, and advised: "It's not impossible, it's just that it's a little inappropriate for you to travel alone, I sent a few people to follow you, it's not safe to enter the palace outside the palace, you have to come back before the palace gate is locked, you know?" ”
"Erchen knows, Erchen has thanked his father!" The Eleventh Prince grinned, and immediately stood up and bowed his head in thanks.
"I told you before, there is no need to be polite in private, you, you ......" Emperor Zhengwu sighed and didn't say much.
The eleventh prince Han Han touched the back of his head, "Erchen, Erchen is so happy!" ”
After the meal, Emperor Zhengwu used another cup of tea before leaving.
Several palace maids moved and removed the dishes on the table, and Concubine Yun breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there was no one else in the room.
Concubine Yun pulled the eleventh prince, and helped the eleventh prince tidy up the folds in front of his shirt with slender jade hands, and a pair of autumn eyes were full of worry, "You kid ......"
The eleventh prince blinked, "Mother, my son didn't do well there just now?" ”
Concubine Yun paused, and sighed softly for a while.
Where is it not good, if it weren't for the eleventh prince who opened his mouth, I was afraid that Emperor Zhengwu would have already lost his face because of her mistakes.
However, it is because the performance is so good that it will seem abnormal.
The father-son relationship of the Heavenly Family is extremely light, and Emperor Zhengwu now takes a fancy to the eleventh prince, but what about the future? If one day the eleventh prince is abandoned by Emperor Zhengwu, then who can protect him?
She's a weak mother-in-law?
Concubine Yun sighed faintly, put aside her eyes and continued to sort out the folds on the eleventh prince's robe, "Mother Princess hopes that you can break free from the cage of the royal family, and be a person who follows freedom and does what you like, and is free and easy in this life, happy and happy." ”
Be a true self, follow yourself, the outside world is vast, what do you want to do?
"Free and easy?"
Do you want to do what you want?
The eleventh prince pretended to be puzzled and lowered his head, covering the darkness that flashed under his eyes.
Concubine Yun nodded and continued: "The world outside is vast, there are mountains, rivers and homes, maybe life is not as rich as in the palace, but it is better to be free, at least, no one can force you to do what you don't want to do, and you don't have to worry that one or two of your words will lead to death." ”
"Mother will never hurt you."
The eleventh prince lowered his eyes, and soon raised his head again, he smiled slightly, his dark eyes were as bright and simple as rubbing into the stars, "I know the concubine, and the retainer will definitely live up to the expectations of the concubine." ”
Only then did Concubine Yun let go of her heart and nodded with a smile.
The eleventh prince came out of the palace of Concubine Yun, all the way through the rockery of the imperial garden, his steps were fast and slow, and occasionally he would stop to look at the flowers blooming in the imperial garden, looking like an innocent child.
Xu Bu returned to his palace while walking and playing, and the eleventh prince found a little eunuch who was waiting for him.
