It was a cold day, but Zhang Shou took the four princes out and didn't come in for a long time, and the three princes couldn't help but feel like a deer...... Of course, it is more accurate to say that the mind is in turmoil. However, his father, who was exuding endless anger and chill around him, could not be ignored, so he could only rack his brains while thinking about how to appease his father, while being distracted by the movement of his head.

After suffering for a long time in an uneasy wait, he finally waited for someone to walk into the Dongnuan Pavilion with his head bowed, but there was only one, and that was the fourth prince. Seeing that the person stepped forward silently, he immediately knelt on the ground, he thought that his fourth brother was still ready to stiffen, and he was in a hurry. And the next moment, he heard someone speak.

"Father, the son knows that he is wrong, and the son lied before."

The emperor, who was originally full of anger, heard that the four princes actually confessed their mistakes, and even admitted that they were lying, and he thought that the "conspiracy" and discourse that were so simple and straightforward that they were miserable that he felt ridiculous rather than thunderous and angry. Stretching out his hand and pointing at the nose of the little guy in front of him, he almost burst out with a sentence You go outside to kneel and reflect, but when the words came to his mouth, he was slightly stunned.

I remember that it seems to be such a cold day, when he was young, he was punished by the Queen Mother to kneel in front of the throne of the main hall of the Qianqing Palace because of his simple and rude treatment of a cabinet elder. Even though he claimed to be the supreme son of heaven, the queen mother's tone when she was heartbroken made him frightened at that time. In all dynasties, are there still few examples of orphans and widows who have lost their thrones and even the world?

And his little trick to deal with the old man seems to be similar to that of the fourth prince......

The emperor took a deep breath, and then asked with a tiger face, "What about Zhang Shouren?" Could it be that he persuaded you to come back and confess his guilt, and he left on his own? If I remember correctly, when I sent Chen Yongshou to deliver the message, I said that I would summon him together, right? ”

The third prince had just heard the words of the fourth prince, and was full of anger that others were making their own decisions and pretending to be smart, when they suddenly woke up, and then realized that Zhang Shou, who had just taken away the fourth prince, did not come in. He hurriedly looked at his fourth brother. I saw the fourth prince raise his head and say with a ashamed face: "The teacher is waiting outside the Qianqing Palace, saying that he will not disturb our father and son." ”

The emperor only felt that Zhang Shou's move was not so much to avoid trouble as to avoid suspicion, but he finally felt a little more comfortable in his heart. After all, when a father can't call his son back to the palace, he has to be a teacher, how do he think it's not a taste. But the next moment, Chen Yongshou's cautious voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, someone from Qingning Palace invited Master Zhang away." ”

Knowing that it was the Queen Mother who took Zhang Shou away, the emperor was stunned at first, but immediately after, the fourth prince jumped up all of a sudden: "Will the imperial grandmother blame the teacher because of her son?" ”

As soon as these words came out, even the third prince couldn't help but be shocked. This is very likely, after all, the Queen Mother also sent Yuquan to send the four princes over last time to teach Zhang Shou a lesson! And that time, Zhang Shou not only punished the four princes with twenty commandments, but also received ten lashes himself!

And when he thought of his smugness when he was designing urgently this morning, he didn't expect that it would affect other people's problems, and the fourth prince was about to run out when he stepped up. As a result, the emperor, who came to the shock, shouted in anger: "Where are you going? You go to Qingning Palace now, this is what hurts him! You give me to kneel here and reflect on it, San Lang, you give me a look at him! ”

The third prince hurriedly ran forward, dragged the fourth prince back, and pressed the person to his knees on the ground. Seeing that his father was going out without saying a word, although he wanted to follow him, the younger brother biting his lip in front of him made him even more worried. Therefore, when the footsteps of his father gradually disappeared, he stepped forward and squatted in front of the fourth prince.

"Fourth brother, what I want to say, the teacher has already taught you a lesson. I just want to tell you that I also hate the eldest brother and the second brother, and I am worried about whether others want to take advantage of this incident to get them to return to Beijing, and even think that one of them is more suitable to be the prince. However, there are some things that can be thought about in the heart, but not done. ”

"Don't worry about me, I'm not the Zheng Rong who almost died before! I'm the crown prince now, and you should at least believe that I have the ability to protect myself and you,"

The fourth prince raised his head in a daze, but then he saw that the third prince actually knelt down in front of him. This time, his eyes widened, and then he heard something that made him regret and regret.

"Father punished you to kneel here and wait for him to come back, I will accompany you now! It was my fault that I didn't stop you in advance, and it was my fault that my father and teacher were both annoyed and worried about your affairs! If you make a mistake in the future, how much your father will punish you, I will also accompany you to suffer, my father is unwilling, I can at least punish myself in private! If you don't want that, put away that little bit of caution for me! ”

"Third brother, I was wrong!" The bear child was really panicked this time. He rushed forward and wanted to pull the third prince up, but he also knelt on the ground, how could he have the strength, and he plucked the radish for a long time, but he was just tired and out of breath. But when he was about to call someone, he suddenly remembered that the third prince had just punished himself in private, and he was completely deflated.

The third brother was like this in the past, he seemed to be weak, but in fact he was very assertive, and he did it!

The emperor didn't know that his bear child was a nemesis today and then met a second nemesis. He completely forgot that this was the time for dinner, completely forgot that his stomach was empty, and when he left the Qianqing Palace, he didn't call his shoulder, but walked out directly. But when he walked out of the Qianqing Gate, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Hua Qi, who seemed to be waiting for him.

Chong Ren made a gesture to keep up, and when he left the Qianqing Gate for some distance, he looked back at the attendants behind him, and made sure that they were all more than ten steps away, so he asked in a low voice: "What, you overheard Zhang Shou and Shiro talking again?" ”

"It's not eavesdropping, it's listening openly." Hua Qi said solemnly, "I was standing in front of the Qianqing Gate at that time, and I could listen openly, just because my ear power was much stronger than others." ”

The emperor had long been accustomed to people's nonsense, but he just smiled, and when Hua Qi relayed what Zhang Shou said to the fourth prince, the hint of banter he had just now disappeared. Zhang Shou's lessons to the four princes certainly spoke to his heart, but what moved him the most was the lyrics sung by Hua Qi, who was incomplete.

When I grow up, I'll be you...... If he saw him as a child now, would he also feel disgusted and disgusted? However, this is probably the price of growth, just like his only two sons who are now brothers are harmonious, but what about the future?

With such a heavy heart, when he entered the Qingning Gate and saw the Qingning Palace in sight, he saw a familiar female official hurriedly stepping forward, saying that the Queen Mother was having dinner, and he was slightly stunned: "The Queen Mother is having dinner?" What about Mr. Zhang? ”

The young female official who greeted her was really inexplicable when she was asked by the emperor, and only after a while did she say cautiously: "Bachelor Zhang, naturally, accompanied the Queen Mother to dinner with Miss Zhu." ”

originally thought that he was here to save the emergency, but the emperor couldn't cry or laugh at the moment, and then realized that he was completely wrong.

Today is different from the last time, if you don't know the calculation of that little thing, it is completely wrong and there is no comparison with the original person who said in front of the public that the prisoners of the Guozijian are not as good as the eunuchs of the ceremonial eunuchs - after all, the accompanying guards that Hong Shanchang drove away by himself were indeed self-inflicted. Of course, if the Queen Mother knew about the "conspiracy" of the four princes, the result would have been different.

Thinking so, the emperor only felt his stomach growl. Only then did he finally realize the hunger in his belly, and he simply smiled: "It's better to come early than to come by chance, you go in and report it, and say that I am also having a meal here with the Queen Mother." ”

Even if she knew that the emperor was on a whim, the young female official immediately entered to confess. Sure enough, the Queen Mother knew what was going on, and glanced at Zhang Shou, who was eating Xiangswen, and Zhu Ying, who was watching more people than eating, and finally ordered someone to invite the emperor in.

After a salute and greetings, she didn't say a word about the four princes, only asked someone to add a pair of dishes and chopsticks, moved the two dishes in front of her that had barely been touched to the emperor, and asked people to add two snacks to the small kitchen.

Zhang Shou, who was left in Qingning Palace to accompany him to eat, felt uncomfortable, and at this time, he added the emperor's big Buddha, and he felt that this meal was almost going to make up for his stomach, and he just thought about what supper to use to make up for his injured stomach and his mood when he went back at night. Sure enough, before he was full, he saw that someone had already brought tea, and the meal was over!

And after rinsing his mouth, he heard the Queen Mother say: "It's not early, Chapter Jiu, you send Yingying back." ”

Zhang Shou hurriedly stood up and agreed, but Zhu Ying yawned, and then said with a smile: "The Queen Mother is finally called Ah Shou?" Grandpa Ge had always been very unhappy before, saying that he gave people such a good name, but no one called it...... Well, I've been getting up early every day these days, and I'm really tired, so I'll retire first! ”

Seeing that Zhu Ying stepped forward and pulled Zhang Shou without hesitation, and saluted herself and the Queen Mother with a smile, as if she was afraid that he would ask more, she turned around and left immediately, and the emperor was full of questions, and finally could only laugh and scold: "Yingying, there must be a limit to the appearance of girls!" Let Zhang Shou go back and copy down the lyrics of that song, although it is slang, but I want to listen to it! ”

Before Zhang Shou could speak, Zhu Ying had already directly agreed for him. He involuntarily followed her out of Qingning Palace, and when he went down the steps, he took the coat handed over by Ah Liu on the side and wrapped it around his body, seeing Zhu Ying hurriedly walking and wearing it at the same time, he couldn't help but take two quick steps to catch up with her and asked, "Yingying, why are you running away from the wilderness?" ”

"Not for you? As soon as I heard that the fourth prince had caused such a disaster today, I hurried into the palace and waited in Qingning Palace, for fear that the queen mother would let you discipline that stinky boy again! ”

Zhu Ying glared at Zhang Shou as she spoke, and her face was full of disgust: "I still hope you leave that kid alone, but it turned out that you really went to the Jiangdu Palace, and personally sent people back to the palace." I'm afraid that you will take the initiative to take responsibility again, and what do you say that you are not strict with the teacher's laziness...... Anyway, I will never watch you toss yourself for that bear child, of course I have to take you to slip away! ”

Zhang Shou suddenly sighed. But for the eldest lady with such kindness, of course he would not live up to it, so he pretended to be surprised: "So, didn't I get beaten by mistake?" Oops, I really want to thank the lady for her kindness! ”

Zhu Ying wanted to scold the first half of the words when she heard the exaggeration, but when she heard the second half of the lady, her cheeks were glowing, and she was about to complain angrily about Zhang Shou's nonsense, but she felt reluctant, and couldn't help but hold his hand again and said: "Don't be poor, be careful that the emperor is not happy and then come to chase us!" Hurry up, I'm still waiting to get home for supper! ”

"Don't run, slow down! Don't exercise vigorously after eating, otherwise you will get colic! ”

Zhang Shou's two words frightened Zhu Ying, who was about to run, immediately stopped. But when she reacted, she was about to complain that Zhang Shou was bluffing people like a child, but she saw that Zhang Shou actually changed a rather serious expression: "This is really not a lie to you, I don't believe that Mrs. Tai and Aunt Jiu have never said it before." ”

Remembering that her grandmother and mother seemed to have said something like not exercising after eating, but there was no such terrible description as colic, Zhu Ying only glared at Zhang Shou again, but her steps really slowed down a lot. When she entered the palace, she came in directly in a soft sedan chair from Xuanwu Gate, and with Zhang Shou accompanying her at this time, she was naturally very happy to walk back in peace.

Thinking of what the emperor had just said, she couldn't help but ask curiously. And although Zhang Shou said that he expected that he might not be able to hide the conversation with the four princes, but the emperor told him that he already knew, he was still a little depressed, and at this time, he was soaked by Zhu Ying's soft grinding, so he simply hummed softly.

"When I was a child, I thought you were beautiful......"

The song that was deeply impressed when he was a child, but later the title was used on various diametrically opposed occasions, including his use in front of the four princes today, Zhang Shou felt a little sorry for the lyricist's sincerity when he thought about it at this time.

And after Zhu Ying listened to it, her eyes widened even more: "Although the tune is weird, the lyrics sound very good, and it doesn't seem to have the meaning you said...... And, if I'm not mistaken, this chalkboard chalk and the like seems to have only come after you used it, and this song is about the teacher, right? How can this make the emperor so concerned and ask you to write to him? ”

Proper nouns such as blackboard are indeed unique in these years, Zhang Shou didn't want to say that when he used it to fool the four princes, he only intercepted one of the paragraphs, so he simply smiled back, hoping that the guy who listened to the corner was still there at this time, and then went back to the emperor, and saved him from copying the lyrics again.

As a result, Zhu Ying was still asking, and a faint voice came from the side: "Master Zhang, you are really good at transferring flowers and trees, this kind of lyrics that sound extremely positive can be distorted by you like that, no wonder the four princes are happy and convinced of you." ”

Hua Qi, who came out, didn't wait for Zhu Ying to exclaim, he said with a smile: "In the case of Hong Shanchang, Qin Guogong and Zhu Dagongzi successively wrote to ask for guilt, and the culprit was punished on the street. As for the things behind the scenes, you and the eldest lady can rest assured, Mr. Zhang. ”

"The iron case that has been done can't be turned over, otherwise no one will howl in the middle of the night!" As if to confirm his words, a terrible scream suddenly came from the night sky, and then it was as if the screaming person was gagged, and it was quiet again. And at this time, Hua Qicai continued: "This kind of thing is never possible to cover the water and recollect it! ”
