The cart was pulled by a horse, and the iron hooves made a pleasant "click" sound on the road. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yu Niang and Ying Xianger sat in the carriage by quietly lifting a corner of the curtain, and saw the carriage turn into Dongmen Street, and the two looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

This Dongmen Street is all paved with bluestone slabs, which is very smooth, and the carriage does not feel any bumps when walking on it. There was only a slight vibration from the wooden wheels crushing on the bluestone slab, but the mood of the two of them at the moment was upside down, and they were very worried.

Although this Dongmen Street is long, there is only one family on this street, and it is the mansion of Prince Fu today!

Yingxiang's heart was beating, and she didn't calm down after trying hard for a long time, so she had to hug Yu Niang's arm and ask, "Auntie, is that the boy in brocade clothes ...... Do you live in the king's house? ”

Yu Niang was also shocked in her heart at this time, and she still had some dreamlike feelings in her heart, feeling that everything in front of her was not real.

The speed of the carriage gradually slowed down, and sure enough, it stopped outside the Wangjing Gate in the north of King Fu's Mansion, and Yu Niang held Yingxiang's hands tightly: "Xiang'er, I'm afraid that the son was really in King Fu's Mansion yesterday." ”

At this moment, although both of them were in shock in their hearts, they were in different moods. Xiang'er didn't know what to do, she secretly promised Zhu Yousong to fall in love at first sight, she was thinking of Zhu Yousong's suave and suave figure at the moment, and thinking of seeing Zhu Yousong who helped her get out of the sea of suffering yesterday, and she was shocked and had some inexplicable joy and small expectations in her heart. But what Yu Niang thought about was her brother's blood feud, although she was shocked, but more of a deep sense of loss.

Although the vassal king at the end of the Ming Dynasty seemed to have unlimited scenery in the fiefdom, his power was small and pitiful, and he could only be called the king behind closed doors. The vassal king was not allowed to interfere in local affairs without fiefs and subjects outside the feudal domain, that is, the so-called "only the lords and not the people, and the feudal lords but not the soil." ”

In order to prevent collusion between the prince and the courtiers, it was also stipulated that the prince could only visit Beijing once every three years. Usually, you can only move around the feudal domain, and you must record it when you go out, and you are not allowed to leave the feudal mansion for long travel. Assigned to the main officials such as the chief historian of the feudal king's subordinates, they were also tasked with supervising the feudal king, and they were to report regularly on the performance of the princes. Therefore, the vassal kings can only be called kings behind closed doors, and they can't do whatever they want when they go out of the palace.

It is precisely because of these restrictions imposed by the imperial court on the vassal king that the feelings in Yu Niang's heart are complicated and difficult to understand. Although the vassal king was extravagant, and his various food and clothing expenses were only one level lower than that of the Son of Heaven, he had no rights at all. The only thing they can do is to dominate the small world of their own mansion, although the treatment is good, but it is wishful thinking to want to make some waves with one hand.

The two entered the palace with their own apprehensions, but they were not directly sent to the death house, but came to a wing room in the palace.

When the two of them entered, they saw an old man in his sixties with no beard in the room, the man looked at them, nodded and grinned: "One is petite and exquisite, the other is pretty, and the son of the world is really a good eye." ”

Yingxiang was a little scared of this old man, and leaned close to Yu Niang, Yu Niang held her hand and saluted: "This ...... This lord, the two of us were invited to come to the palace, it is really a blessing for three lives, but I don't know why? ”

This old man is Chang Yun, but the two don't know him, and they can't see what his identity is, for the sake of insurance, Yu Niang called Chang Yun an adult.

Chang Yun was wearing a coarse linen coat with a dark complexion, if he was seen on the street, maybe people would think that he was just an old peasant in the countryside who went to the city to catch the market, where would they think that he would work in the palace and have another layer of identity?

Chang Yun saw that they were a little nervous, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, you two, I am a close attendant next to the prince, and there is no malice in inviting you to come this time." ”

Yu Niang plucked up the courage to ask: "When we came, it was said that yesterday it was the son who made a righteous move to invite us, and why...... Why don't you see the boy from yesterday? ”

Chang Yun said with a smile: "That son is none other than the prince of King Fu today." There are some things I want to ask you about this time. Although Yu Niang had some guesses in her heart, she still tightened her heart when she heard it come out of someone else's mouth at this moment, and held Yingxiang's little hand tightly.

Chang Yun's eyes narrowed, and his complexion returned to normal and said, "You don't need to panic, these things are not for the prince to ask you, but for the old man." Of course, after this matter is over, there are still some things you need to know, at this time, the prince does not know that you have entered the palace, in order to prevent you from abruptly arguing the nobles, when this matter is understood, you must also learn the etiquette of this palace and understand the rules! ”

……

Zhu Yousong was lying on the bed on all fours at this time, someone came to pay tribute just now, so there is no need to say hello today. It's rare to have a lazy sleep, Lan'er has entered the door three times, and Zhu Yousong still doesn't have any intention of getting up.

But now I can't afford it, Zhu Youqu's troublemaker found the door, and he had to drag himself out early in the morning to choose a birthday gift for their father.

Zhu Yousong sat on the stool weakly and motionless, letting Lan'er wash herself, looking stunned and obviously not coming back to her senses.

Zhu Yousong glanced at Zhu Youqu, who was alive and well, and asked, "Little Rongshu, didn't my father celebrate his birthday last month, why did he pass this month again?" ”

Zhu Youqu added a small word in front of Zhu Youqu's words, which made Zhu Youqu unhappy, and his fingers knocked on the table and said, "Brother Fu, do you still need to ask me about this?" ”

Zhu Yousong's face darkened when he heard Zhu Youqu's title: "You are not allowed to call me in the future, and you can't add brother to shouting, remember?" ”

Zhu Youqu didn't respond, he smiled and changed the topic: "Big brother, didn't you give your father the idea of our father's birthday?" ”

Zhu Yousong was stunned when he heard this: "I came out?" ”

Zhu Youqu saw that Zhu Yousong's eyes were blank and knew that he was not fully awake, and explained: "My father's birthday is the fifth day of the first month, and that day is written into the jade butterfly of the Zongren Mansion. But at that time, it was the annual leave of hundreds of officials returning to their hometowns and provinces, and many people couldn't come, so many people couldn't come, and no one gave gifts, and my father was very dissatisfied with this, didn't you give my father such an idea? My father said it was a birthday banquet, but in fact it was just an ordinary banquet, but it was just a birthday banquet written on the invitation, so that the gifts given by others could not be too casual. In fact, next month's banquet commemorates the canonization of the eldest brother, and the commemoration of the next month's commemoration is my canonization of the county king. ”

Zhu Yousong's face turned red when he heard this, he didn't expect that such a ridiculous idea was actually thought by himself, and his fat father was even more unreliable, so he really did it. But after thinking that this thing was done by the predecessor and had nothing to do with him, the blush on his face faded slightly.

Zhu Yousong was very tired after a day of mixing outside yesterday, but he didn't have a good rest at night. Although he is the prince of the world and now leads the court, and his food and clothing are extremely luxurious, but the jade pillow worth thousands of gold hurts his neck when he sleeps at night, so that he doesn't sleep well at night.

If you don't have a good rest, you naturally don't have energy, and you don't want to go out if you don't have energy. Since next month is not the real birthday banquet of my father, there is no need for the people in my family to make up that set of nothing, just send something casually, anyway, in the end, my father will send his things back or make up for it.

Zhu Yousong snorted and said: "I have already chosen the gift for my father, if you want to go out and choose, then you can go yourself." I didn't sleep well yesterday, and today I'm going to get some rest. ”

Zhu Youqu glanced at Lan'er beside Zhu Yousong, didn't know what he thought, and said with a smile: "That's good, that's good, then my brother won't bother my brother, you're busy with you!" ”

Zhu Yousong only felt that something was wrong when he listened to the third child's obscene laughter, but now his head was dizzy and he didn't have the energy to think about it, and he was still drowsy after washing his face. The two brothers said a few more words, and after Zhu Youqu said goodbye, Zhu Yousong lay back on the bed.

The jade pillow under the neck is still uncomfortable, and the pillow is too low to sleep comfortably, but the pillow is comfortable on the quilt, but after a while, he sweats profusely......

Zhu Yousong's body turned over and over and fell asleep unsteadily, and when his head moved, he suddenly pillowed to a soft place, and Zhu Yousong, who was extremely sleepy, found a comfortable position and fell asleep again. It's just that he didn't notice that Lan'er, who was sitting on the edge of the bed at this time, fanned him, and her delicate face was covered with a touch of redness, which was very cute......
