Chapter 381: Laughter
When the city of Linzhou in the north of the blue sea was full of war and the souls of the dead, the Wanhua Emperor Capital of Cangwu Kingdom, which was thousands of miles away, was full of joy.
Since the crown princess is pregnant with a dragon, the whole Zhangren Palace has worked hard to serve with all her heart. This princess is also very competitive, according to rumors in the palace, the imperial doctors can see that the princess's belly is very sharp from a distance, and everyone is quietly talking about it, she will definitely be a little prince in the future!
Since it is an auspicious and pleasing rumor, Emperor Wen naturally doesn't care about it, sometimes he feels very comfortable in his ears, and often sends Gonggong Li next to him to ask for warmth.
The crown prince Li Chongyan is even more overjoyed, this is really different from what it feels like to be a father! As the saying goes, dragons give birth to dragons, and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, so what are dragons and phoenixes?
"Born of a dragon and a phoenix, he is naturally the prince of the unicorn!" Every time Li Chongyan muttered diligently, the chubby prince responded with a smile.
I don't get tired of good words a thousand times, and no matter how many honey words I have, it's not sweet enough.
Every time Li Chongyan told Zhu Zhijie the sycophancy of the prince, he could make her laugh. Speaking of this day, Zhu Zhijie added another sentence after laughing.
"If it's really a unicorn, it must be a fat unicorn."
Li Chongyan was stunned: "Why? ”
"Look at me...... Since I had him, I have to eat four or five meals a day. Sometimes my cheeks are sour when I eat, but the things in my stomach sink into the sea, and I don't feel full at all, so I won't be a fat unicorn in the future? Zhu Zhijie sighed.
"So what, eat more now, and in the future you will definitely be able to grow tall and big, like me, a dragon and a phoenix, a natural emperor!"
"Yes, yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a dragon and phoenix, and all the people admire." Zhu Zhijie pursed her lips and smiled, and touched her stomach: "Hey...... How do I feel hungry again? ”
"Whatever you want to eat, let the prince get it, his dim sum is better than the inner meal."
"I want to eat ......," Zhu Zhijie hesitated.
Cangwu country lives inland, with many mountains and valleys, and the taste of the dishes is heavier than that of the blue sea. Zhu Zhijie has been accustomed to a light diet since she was a child, and although she has lived for more than half a year, she still can't get used to it.
She is a person who doesn't like to trouble people, sometimes the dishes are salty and don't say it, or do it yourself, but after getting pregnant, there are many inconveniences, so she can only eat the food sent by the internal meal, in fact, she is still thinking about the fresh fish and fresh lotus root in the blue sea, and always wants to taste the taste of her hometown again.
Li Chongyan knew that she was a regular character, and after asking her a few times, he gradually guessed the reason, and it was strange that the things sent by Emperor Bihai Ming from the capital of Taiye Country never arrived. So Li Chongyan personally went to the Inner Court Division to ask a few times, but he was stopped by Gonggong Li, and secretly whispered a few words.
"Your Highness...... The other side of the blue sea is now at war, where can I care about sending fresh fish to the crown princess, but Your Majesty has told me a thousand times that you must not disturb the rest of the pregnancy because of the affairs of the princess's mother country, so Your Highness will ......"
"yes, I see." Li Chongyan was helpless, since it was his father's will, he could only obey and not mention it. But he also muttered in his heart, but it was just a few fresh fish and a few lotus roots, and for so many years before, Aunt Yinquan had let Bihai Country take the water of the East China Sea all the way
Did you raise it and send it over, why can't you get to the crown princess?
Zhu Zhijie is a person who can observe words and feelings, and after mentioning the matter of fresh fish a few times, he saw that Li Chongyan had a difficult face, so he changed his mind and stopped mentioning it.
"Don't say what I want to eat, you have gone to Ye Zhiqiu's Ministry of Rites now, how is it compared to being a county magistrate?"
"Compared to the prefectural order, there are many fewer errands...... But that Ye Zhiqiu is really an interesting person. I never knew he was like that. ”
"What kind of character?"
"On weekdays, in the Ministry of Rites, I'm just a master bookkeeper, and I don't have any errands, just write a brief and copy a document, and sometimes sit on my ass for a day without moving a place, it's just going to suffocate people, and it's much more boring than doing a county order. But Ye Zhiqiu can sit like that every day, for decades, without even moving, like a god in the temple. He arrives earlier than me and leaves later than I every day. At first, I wondered, is it true that men have no desires at this age? Or are all the men in the Ministry of Rites like this? ”
Zhu Zhijie laughed: "The officials of the Ministry of Rites are about the same temperament, the Qin Daoyuan of the Rites Department of Bihai Country before, you have seen it, and he is also a stuffy gourd-like character." But it's not that they can't speak, but they are cautious in their words and deeds. It is a matter of the national system, and you can't do what you want, and over time it has become a disposition to think twice. That Ye Zhiqiu heard that he is a very safe person, you follow him to do things, just cultivate yourself and meditate, how can you laugh at him for being a mud fetus. ”
"No, no, no." Li Chongyan smiled mysteriously: "This is the short-sightedness of your women, you only look at the face." Ye Zhiqiu didn't say a word in the Ministry of Rites during the day, but when he didn't work, he seemed to have changed as if he had changed a person. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"Didn't I mention it to you before, so Cao Feihu got a new house?"
Zhu Zhijie thought for a while and asked, "Is it because you sent someone to drive Zou Ge's descendants away from the house?" ”
"Tut-tut, how can you say it's hard to rush? This prince has never done such bullying and bullying things, Zou Ge has been dead for decades, and his descendants have no outstanding talents, and it is a waste to guard that big mansion, I paid double the price to buy it It was his Zou family's blessing. You don't know, the owner of the house is the great-grandson of Zou Gelao, and the grandson took the silver and returned the farts to thank him, saying that he couldn't afford to invite people, and he was tired to clean the whole house by himself every day. I have lived for half my life, and I don't know whether the house is people's property or whether people are slaves to the house. Belch...... Far from it. ”
Li Chongyan tilted his head and thought for a while, "Yes, I mean to say that Ye Zhiqiu is here." Coincidentally, I gave the Zou family's old mansion to Cao Feihu, who would have thought that the side next to the street is Ye Zhiqiu's Shangshu Mansion, don't I sometimes go to Cao Xiwen to drink and chat when I have nothing to do, I actually met Ye Zhiqiu at Cao's house. Don't look at his usual crepe and refusal to say a word, three glasses of wine are in the stomach, but he talks and laughs a lot. ”
Zhu Zhijie was very surprised when she heard this, and asked, "Really?" Why don't I think he's a good drinker? ”
"He is the minister of my Cangwu Kingdom, how do you know if he is good or not?"
"When he went to Bihai, I specially sent someone to send wine and food, and then I asked the palace maid carefully, and there was no food left, but no wine
How much you drink, it can be seen that you don't like to drink. ”
"You are the princess of a country, how can you deign to give him wine and food?" Li Chongyan said curiously, "What to do?" ”
Zhu Zhijie's face flushed, thinking that she couldn't say that she wanted to ask him to say a few kind words in front of his mother so that he could marry into Cangwu Kingdom as soon as possible.
"You went elsewhere again, let's talk about what happened to Ye Zhiqiu."
Li Chongyan said "oh", put aside the matter of sending wine, and continued: "I didn't know that he drank wine and talked so interestingly, so I asked him to come back next time, but he said that he always bothered Lao Cao's house and didn't want to go, so I didn't go to his house to drink next time, and let Cao Feihu and Cao Xiwen go too." ”
"Then Cao Xiwen still doesn't know your identity?"
Li Chongyan said with a smile: "Hey, I am happy when you mention this guy, he and his father are really not good at other things except for dancing knives and guns, and I haven't noticed anything unusual until now." Ye Zhiqiu's mouth is not unusual, it is strange that a fool like Cao Feihu has been hiding from his son in order to have fun. Anyway, I told Lao Cao that if he leaked the news, I wouldn't come again. ”
Zhu Zhijie smiled and asked, "Then Commander Cao didn't tell his son because he listened to you, and you still said that he was stupid." I look at you, it's not that I want to hide from that Cao Xiwen, I just think it's funny, and I have fun hiding from him, I guessed right? ”
The longer Zhu Zhijie spends time with Li Chongyan, the more she understands his temperament.
Li Chongyan sighed, "That's right, it's not right." I've been lonely since I was a child, and it's rare to find a playmate who doesn't know who I am and can say whatever he wants. I'm afraid that after he knows that I am the crown prince, he will hold it in his hands from then on, and it will be boring. You don't know that there is an old student named Xun Gui in the Ministry of Rites, because he was by my side when he was on a mission to Bihai and recognized me, so every time he saw me, he found an opportunity to shake in front of me, and I was very upset. What cats and dogs are coming forward, but I don't know what these people are thinking? The first sentence of the words is true, and the others are all hypocrisy. ”
"The first one? Is that one? ”
"In Shimoxungui."
Zhu Zhijie couldn't help laughing, laughed and felt a sore back, and hurriedly leaned back on the cushion behind her, "It's not uncommon for such sycophants to be in officialdom, not to mention that you are the prince." A person like this named Xun Gui is quite clear at a glance, just trying to make fun of you. If you really encounter the kind of person who pretends to be neither arrogant nor humble on the surface, but secretly tries to play with you to sell fame and steal chickens and dogs, you will have a lot of headaches. ”
Li Chongyan was not convinced, squinted at her and said, "Hey, listening to you say this, it seems that you are quite clear about the things in this officialdom, and there is some truth in theory." You, a princess who lives in a simple palace, how can you know such a worldly situation? He didn't wait for Zhu Zhijie to answer, "Oh" and said: "Yes, it must be because you Bihai Zhu have that kind of mind contemplation technique, you can always see through people's hearts." Ay...... I don't know much about mindfulness. ”
Suddenly, he grabbed Zhu Zhijie's hand and pleaded with a hippie smile: "Otherwise, if you teach me your mind-contemplation technique, then I will be able to see through the faces of these guys in the future." ”
Zhu Zhi's face was difficult to clean, and she said with a smile: "It's true that my Bihai Zhu family has the ability to contemplate the mind, but I haven't learned ......."
