At this time in the palace, the emperor summoned the second prince who had just returned to the palace, Ye Chenze

Speaking of this King Chen, I don't know if he is lucky or not

His biological mother was an inferior palace maid, and she was favored by the emperor by chance

Unexpectedly, she was pregnant with the dragon fetus that everyone in the harem was thinking about, but it was a pity that the blessing was shallow, and the king of Chen passed away

The emperor was young at the time, and he didn't take the child in his eyes, and the concubines saw that the emperor didn't care much about the child, but no one bothered to harm him

At the beginning, there was an old woman by his side who treated him well and told him about his life experience and treated him like a son

Later, the old grandmother died, and all kinds of people began to appear around him

At a young age, he experienced the warmth and coldness of others, from a low to a small, and he could save his life in this cold palace

It wasn't until he was eight years old that he met his brother, who was two years older than him, Ye Haobai

At that time, Ye Haobai was not the current prince, but he was born in the most sleek concubine in the world, and he had never seen the sinister heart of the human heart at a young age

When he learned that the person living in the damp and rancid bedding of the small dilapidated house turned out to be his brother, he cried and cried for him to live with him

If Concubine Rou refused, he went on a hunger strike and kowtowed again, until he tossed himself sick and made Concubine Rou agree

Concubine Rou also took a lot of effort to get the emperor to agree to pass the child to her name

After that, the two children grew up playing together

At first, Ye Chenze's performance was mediocre, and people couldn't find fault or see the advantages

It is precisely because of this that people let down their guard against him and no one harms him

Who would have thought that when the two grew up, the queen only had a daughter, although she was favored by the emperor, she was not useful to her son, and then the emperor set up her eldest son Ye Haobai as the prince, and the queen was anxious, so she started Ye Chenze's idea

Who would have thought that Ye Chenze, who could have been a high queen as a backer, refused the queen and was willing to be a foil to Ye Haobai

The queen couldn't hold back, and wanted to secretly get rid of Ye Haobai many times, but she never thought that it would be solved by Ye Chenze

It was only at this time that everyone began to notice this seemingly ordinary teenager

After years of ignoring this, I realized that this young man was no longer a person to be manipulated

This young man has more and more attention from the emperor, every time he is in urgent need, Ye Chenze is the first to bear it, this time he went south to investigate the corruption of officials, the emperor has no good candidates, Ye Chenze consciously asked for his life, and he went for two years

In the past two years, the harvest has been very rich, and the emperor gave him ten thousand taels of gold and specially built the Chenwang Mansion

After coming back, everyone found that the young man had faded into a green man, and he was even more elusive, and his fox eyes often flashed with unfathomable emotions

The whole body is covered with a veil, which makes people can't see it really

He is the sharp blade in the emperor's hand, and the emperor attaches great importance to him

Everyone thought that he would replace the prince, but they never thought that he was the most supportive of the prince, and whoever wanted to say that the prince was not would have to pass him

has no ambition, which has also become the biggest reason why the emperor is willing to use him, after all, such a person will not threaten his throne

Not to mention anything else, the emperor treats him well, and the emperor can't wait to see him just after he comes back

"The sons knock on their father, long live their father, long live long live!"

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

The emperor, dressed in a yellow robe, actually personally helped up the young man who was kneeling on the ground

After the young man thanked him, he got up with the emperor's strength

When he stood up straight, he was a few points taller than the emperor

The emperor's stern and gloomy face also bloomed a little smile at this time, and patted him on the shoulder

"Chen'er went to the south this time, and the investigation of corrupt officials and filth was done well, many corrupt officials who were robbed of the people were taken down, and the people's patriotism is even worse, hahaha"

The boy hugged his fist and blessed his body

"It's still the father's wisdom and martial arts, and it is the blessing of the people to go out to traitor ministers for the night country"

He didn't talk about half of his own merits, but he praised the emperor

The emperor's eyes were even more appreciative, and he patted King Chen

"Today, when you return to the court, your father still has something for you to do, and at this time, I am afraid that you will not be able to do it in your own opinion, so you have to contact the rivers and lakes..."

The latter words were spoken by the emperor leaning over and speaking close to King Chen's ear

When King Chen heard this, the fox's eyes were slightly raised, the corners of his mouth crossed and sneered, and he quickly straightened the corners of his mouth, but the tone he said was respectful

"It's the father, and the son obeys the order"

"Good, good!" The emperor seemed to be relaxed as if he had let go of the important things in his heart, and only after a pause did he look at King Chen again

"Chen'er, you came back and ran all the way, there is no hurry, you haven't visited your mother and brother for a long time, let's go back today and take a good look!"

Hearing the word brother, the fox eyes that had been silent burst into brilliance, and they hid in them when they bowed their heads and thanked them

"It's the Father"

The emperor waved his hand, and he took a few steps back and turned to leave

The pace is still a little hurried, and you can't see anything if you don't look closely

A group of servants followed King Chen all the way to the East Palace, and when they arrived at the door, they waved their hands at the little servants to keep them from following them

Knocked on the door eagerly, the door of the East Palace had just opened, and the people inside saw that King Chen was busy leaning over and saluting, but King Chen waved his hand indifferently, and walked inside before waiting for the transmission

All the way to the prince's study, he knew him too well, he must be in the study at this time, either endorsing books, or painting

Zhang Jinyi, the chief eunuch guarding the door of the study, saw that King Chen was busy saluting

"Let's knock to see His Royal Highness King Chen"

King Chen stood with his hands in his hands and nodded to Zhang Jin, and he immediately thanked King Chen for getting up

"Your Royal Highness King Chen, go in quickly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is painting inside!"

"Go down."

"Yes"

Zhang Jin beckoned and went down with a group of maidservant eunuchs

Only then did King Chen push open the door and enter

In the room, King Chen saw at a glance the person he was thinking of, the most important brother in his life

The man was dressed in a pale yellow four-clawed python robe, with rice paper pressed on the table, and he was holding a brush in one hand and painting seriously

Seeing that he was painting seriously, King Chen did not make a sound, and sat quietly on the sidelines as he did many times when he was a child, watching him paint

After a moment, the man raised his head from the painting, and just turned his shoulders, which were slightly stiff from the long time of painting, he saw King Chen sitting there

The man's eyes widened in surprise and he eagerly got up close to him, a smile on his lips

"Chen'er, when are you here? How long have you been here, why don't you report it? Are you thirsty or not, hungry or not, I'll let the kitchenette cook you something to eat? ”

The series of questions that had just met made King Chen smile secretly, and silently pulled the prince to sit down, and gave him a massage to move his muscles and bones before answering carefully

"I just came, I wanted to surprise you, but seeing that you are painting seriously, I can't bear to disturb you, I am neither thirsty nor hungry."

At this time, King Chen did not have the usual cold silence, as if he was injected with sunshine, and he was as fresh as a teenager at this time

The prince was also comforted by his service, and turned his head to look at him and wanted to ask something, but when he saw the two of them looking at each other, he looked at each other and smiled. It's all in plain sight

The prince didn't ask him if he was doing well, it didn't matter, he wouldn't tell the truth if he asked, after coming back this time, he felt that this kid had changed a lot, much calmer, but it was also good, he was more powerful, and he could suffer less damage

When he looked at King Chen, King Chen was also looking at him, well, he was still in his impression, gentle as jade, and when he ascended the throne in the future, he must be a benevolent monarch who loves the world

Thinking about it, those eyes curved, and a pair of fox eyes were seductively tight

The prince was stunned for a moment before he said slowly

"You've been gone for so long, and you haven't seen your mother yet, why don't you go and say hello to your mother together?"

"Hmm. Don't worry, by the way, what are you painting so seriously just now? ”

Speaking of this, the prince's expression was even more gentle, and he said with a smile

"You who painted, I saw you this morning, I wanted to catch up with you, but you were summoned by the emperor and returned to the East Palace, I never thought of what to use to catch you and wash the dust, I remembered your appearance in my mind, and then I painted you, as a gift for you, but you are not allowed to be light!"

King Chen smiled lightly, but there was a deeper smile in his eyes, and his brother's gift made him happier than the emperor's reward of ten thousand taels of gold

"yes, then I'm going to take a good look at the picture my brother made for me."

As he spoke, he walked to the desk and looked at the painting

The eagerness made the prince hold his forehead and smile, after so many years, he thought he was mature, but in fact he was the same as when he was young haha

King Chen stared at the painting in front of him, the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be suppressed, the painting was lifelike, and the posture and form were the same as his

He looked up and looked at the prince on the other side of the desk, and at that moment it was as if he had returned to his childhood, when he had just been picked up, and he was in this position, he looked at the portrait he had made for him, and he stood on the other side of the desk and asked him if he had painted a portrait

The immature voice in the impression and the deep voice in the present coincide with the "true image"

Both of them bent their eyebrows

"Let's go, wait for the concubine to be in a hurry"

"Well, good"

The two went to Qingyu Palace together to greet their mother

Concubine Rou knew that the two of them were back, so she asked Mama to prepare the meal early

"Mother!" Before I could see anyone, a warm voice was heard

Concubine Rou happily got up with the support of her grandmother

The prince happened to enter the door at this time, and when he saw this scene, he immediately stepped forward and personally supported his mother

glanced at the dishes that had been put on the table, and said while helping the mother concubine to take a seat

"Mother, you are not in good health, wear more on weekdays, your clothes are too thin"

Concubine Rou smiled and pinched the prince's face

"You, but you're going to feel sorry"

The prince smiled and narrowed his eyes, and said suddenly

"By the way, Mother Concubine, Chen'er is back today!" As he spoke, he looked at King Chen behind him

King Chen glanced at him before looking at Concubine Rou

"Sons meet their mothers"

Concubine Rou followed the prince's gaze to look at King Chen, who saluted her, and sat on the chair before saying slowly

"It's Chen'er, don't be polite, get up"

"Mother Xie"

Concubine Rou smiled gently, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes, "I know that Chen'er is coming today, so I specially made what you like to eat, so sit down and eat."

The crown prince was pulled by Concubine Rou to sit beside her, and King Chen consciously sat opposite Concubine Rou

Reunited after a long absence, at this rare gathering table, everyone talked happily
