Zhao Che fed the words to the mouth of the Queen Mother, he behaved very obediently, and looked very good.

The Queen Mother let down her vigilance, touched Zhao Che's head and said gently: "The harem has not been allowed to discuss politics since ancient times, your father and the emperor will find a reliable person to deal with it, Rui Xuan has just become the prince, or study the way of governing the country with the prime minister, don't waste your mind on other irrelevant things." ”

Zhao Che still hung his head and nodded in response: "Okay, the imperial grandmother's instructions to the grandchildren have been remembered." ”

The Queen Mother didn't talk much about this topic, and left Zhao Che for dinner together, and in the name of Zhao Che being crowned the crown prince, she added several dishes to the imperial dining room.

Zhao Che was really hungry after a busy day, and after eating two full bowls for dinner, the Queen Mother looked at it in her eyes and smiled on her face.

After eating, the Queen Mother pulled Zhao Che to chat for a while, until she couldn't help but feel sleepy, and Zhao Che got up to leave.

Out of Ci'an Palace, the smile on Zhao Che's face was still hanging, Sun Xing suddenly saw that his mood was different from usual, he didn't remember for a long time, and asked curiously: "Your Highness is in a good mood today?" ”

Zhao Che didn't stop and glanced back at Sun Xing.

That glance was like the frost falling from the eaves of the house in early winter, which made Sun Xing shiver, and he hurriedly lowered his head to admit his mistake: "The slave lost his words, please forgive your highness." ”

Zhao Che continued to walk forward, and the apricot-colored four-clawed prince's robe was placed in the air in an extremely graceful arc.

Sun Xing was beating drums in his heart, but he didn't dare to hesitate, he followed step by step, and after a while, he heard Zhao Che ask coldly: "How long have you been following this palace?" ”

Sun Xing hurriedly said: "Back to Your Highness, the slave was transferred to follow His Highness on the winter solstice the year before last, and now it is just more than two loads. ”

Two years is not a short time.

Zhao Che didn't care about this, and said lightly: "When you come, the first seven days of the queen mother have passed." ”

Sun Xing's head lowered even lower, and said: "At that time, His Royal Highness was immersed in grief, and when the slave was transferred, the righteous father specially asked the slave to serve carefully. ”

Sun Xing wasn't sure what Zhao Che was going to do, so he moved out Sun Yuehai to be a shield.

Sun Yuehai is the person in front of Emperor Hengde, and Sun Xing's father-in-law, Sun Xing is also indirectly regarded as Emperor Hengde's person, Zhao Che will never be suspicious of Emperor Hengde.

Sun Xing followed behind, and he couldn't see the corners of Zhao Che's lips that were coldly raised after hearing him mention Sun Yuehai.

It was already completely dark, the night wind was cold, only a little eunuch was cowering in front of him carrying a lantern, Zhao Che's steps were getting faster and faster, and the aura around him became different from before.

Turning the corner, he said to Sun Xing in a deep voice: "Since you have followed this palace for two years, you should know that there is no room for sand in the eyes of this palace, and the next time you lose your words, this palace will let people twist your tongue!" ”

Zhao Che's tone was fierce, and the majesty of the prince was revealed in an instant.

Sun Xing's throat was tight, his tongue was numb, and he knelt on the ground with a puff, his kneecaps knocked the floor tiles with a muffled sound, his face turned white in pain, and he suppressed his throat and said: "The slave is guilty, please punish His Highness." ”

Zhao Che didn't reply, strode away, Sun Xing didn't dare to stand up, knelt on the palace road for a whole night, and was found by the palace people the next day before being carried back.

Zhao Che called a little eunuch to take care of his dormitory like no one else, as if there had never been a person like Sun Xing in Yichen Palace. Write a book

However, after being canonized as the crown prince, Zhao Che was much busier than before, in addition to the schoolwork of the Tai Academy, he also had to learn all kinds of tricks, and he couldn't take care of a little person like Sun Xing.

The days flickered and it was Chinese New Year's Eve.

At the Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet, Emperor Hengde and Concubine De attended together, and the Empress Dowager rarely did not show up, and Emperor Hengde praised Concubine De's mother family Li family at the banquet, and handed over part of the property that originally belonged to the Wei family to the Empress Dowager's mother family, the Lu family.

Everyone realized that the Wei family would slowly lose due to the death of the empress, while the Li family and the Lu family would slowly rise, which would have a very significant and far-reaching impact on the family of Hanjing and even the entire Zhaoling.

And no one knew that before the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Emperor Hengde and the Empress Dowager had a big quarrel, and the two broke up unhappily, and all the palace people of Ci'an Palace were changed by Emperor Hengde with new faces.

Zhao Che sat on the prince's seat and watched all this indifferently, with a twisted pleasure in his heart, he was watching the decline of the Wei family with his own eyes, and he had no intention of helping, because only if the Lu family couldn't wait to show his ugly face and take away everything that originally belonged to the Wei family, his father would gradually alienate the Lu family.

This invisible estrangement will make his position as the crown prince stable, because the Lu family reminds his father and emperor all the time that his mother is gone, the Wei family is gone, and even his uncle is gone, he has nothing to rely on, only alone, and only the protection of his father can make him live safely in this palace.

At the banquet, Zhao Che drank two glasses of wine.

He is already the crown prince, and the palace people no longer prepare fruit wine for him, but the same pear blossom white as everyone else.

The first time he drank this kind of wine, he was a little dizzy after two glasses, and he thought that the singing and dancing in the banquet hall was too noisy, so Zhao Che got up and walked out of the hall.

As soon as the evening breeze blew, the coolness soaked his bones, he sobered up a little, a little happy, and suddenly wanted to go to Ci'an Palace to see his imperial grandmother.

Chinese New Year's Eve is a good day for the family to reunite, and it should be very lonely for her old man to stay alone in Ci'an Palace.

didn't let the palace people follow, Zhao Che walked towards Ci'an Palace, but before he could take a few steps, his legs were hugged, he lowered his head, and a round red ball was picked on his leg, and he shouted softly and glutinously: "His Royal Highness the Prince, are you drinking?" ”

Shen Bai asked, pinching the tip of his nose, his brows twisted into hemp rope, and took a few steps back and said in disgust: "It smells so bad, how can you touch this kind of thing?" ”

Zhao Che took her back, stared at her for a while and asked, "What are you running out for?" ”

Shen Bai remembered the matter, looked left and right, made sure that there was no one, and mysteriously took out a bamboo tube from his arms and gave it to Zhao Che, saying, "This is what I finally caught, give it to you, congratulations on becoming the prince." ”

The bamboo tube looked very simple, nothing special, Zhao Che didn't want it, Shen Bai immediately said: "Don't be ignorant, this is fun, wait for me to show you." ”

After Shen Bai finished speaking, he pulled Zhao Che forward and came to Huaqing Pool.

The noise of lights and music became blurred in the distance, and Zhao Che couldn't see Shen Bai's expression clearly, only heard her say proudly: "Brother Prince, you have to take a closer look." ”

When the words fell, the bamboo tube opened, and several points of light the size of mung beans appeared in front of him.

"This is a firefly, very similar to fireflies, but it's not only in summer, I spent half a year of pocket money to buy it, it's beautiful, right?"

Shen Bai's tone was quite proud, begging for praise, and the few fireflies in the bamboo tube slowly flew into the air.

Zhao Che looked at it steadily, and his eyes suddenly became a little hot.
