Chapter 3: The King of the Fallen Country

The days passed in eating and sleeping for another two days, except for the young woman who claimed to be Ren Hongfei's mother and the personal maid Lan'er, only the wet nurse surnamed Han went in and out. There are two three-legged charcoal stoves that are slightly larger than microwave ovens and have hollow semicircular copper lids burning in the house day and night, and it seems that it should be a harsh winter outside.

This afternoon, Ren Hongfei was still trying to deal with the two big white steamed buns with dates, but he had no choice but to resign himself to fate. Listening to Han's mother's name, the one who claimed that his mother seemed to be called Lady Liu, which made Ren Hongfei cry and laugh, his mother's name was Li Guifen, and he had been married to his father for twenty-six years, and he was about to graduate from college, and there was a mother who was younger than himself.

Lady Liu was half-leaning on the bed, with an embroidered brocade quilt obliquely covered on her body, and was whispering with Lan'er, when a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived." ”

Ren Hongfei was in high spirits, and spit out the huge red date in his mouth, and Lady Liu was in a hurry: "Lan'er, help me down." ”

A young man about thirty years old, with a goose egg face, a white face and a slight beard, thin eyebrows and long eyes, and a straight nose and mouth, pushed the door and walked in, wearing a black gauze hat on his head, and a white jade hairpin was inserted horizontally on the gauze hat, wearing a dark robe, and a yellow dragon was embroidered on each shoulder, the so-called black color is a combination of black and red, which is the exclusive use of the crown prince, and even the prince and the prince are not allowed to wear it, otherwise it will be unlucky.

Lady Liu bowed down under Lan'er's support: "The slave family asked His Highness for peace, but he was unwell and could not greet him, I hope His Highness will forgive me." ”

The prince was expressionless, and said lightly: "That's it, get up." After that, he walked to the side of Han Ma, who was holding Ren Hongfei who had just flattened her body.

The two looked at each other, the prince stared at each other for a while, and his face did not show any expression of joy and love, Ren Hongfei was furious, and couldn't help but scold: "Do you want to call yourself my father, Nima, when Lao Tzu will leave, I will fight you alone!" ”

Wow wow wo came to the rosewood table and sat down, and slowly said to Lady Liu: "Recently, the queen mother (hōng) has gone, and I am very sad in my heart, this palace has been difficult to calm down, and I didn't come to see you in time, I hope you don't be surprised." ”

Lady Liu hurriedly said: "The slave family doesn't dare, Lan'er, go and serve tea to His Highness." ”

The prince said: "That's it, by the school, by (wood learning), by the machine, by the mold, this child is called by the inspection." Lady Liu nodded hurriedly.

Ren Hongfei was furious: "What kind of postal school and stamp collection are actually called Lao Tzu Mail, why don't you call it a mailbox!" ”

Listening to the cry again, the crown prince Zhu Changluo felt irritable for a while, frowned and got up and said, "There is still something in the palace, come back another day." ”

After that, he brushed his clothes away without looking back in the sound of congratulations.

Ren Hongfei wondered when he heard the sound of the door closing, is this a couple, he patted his ass and left after sitting for a while, and he didn't even say I love you.

Lady Liu continued to sit back on the bed gloomily, silent for a while and crying, Lan'er hurriedly comforted: "Miss, don't be sad, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may really be in a hurry." ”

Lady Liu wiped a handful of tears: "Alas, it's not easy for him, he has been bumpy all the way for more than 20 years, and he has reached his current identity, and he is still scared, afraid of possible changes at any time, and now even his mother has left him, I really don't know how long he can last." ”

Lan'er said: "Concubine Gong Niangniang is also relieved, the saint is cold, Zheng Guifei is persecuted, and the slaves are bullied, and she has been confined in the cold palace for a long time; In the end, I cried blindly, and I couldn't meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for ten years, and it is said that ......"

Speaking of this, Lan'er suddenly closed her voice, walked to the door and looked around, closed the door and walked back and whispered: "I heard other palace maids say that when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Concubine Gong were parting, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't dare to speak, because the people of the Zheng family have been waiting outside the door, and if they say a wrong word, there will be a big disaster." And Concubine Gong has not been buried yet, and the saint is extremely mean, but the ministers do not agree, and every time they go to the court, they are noisy. ”

A trace of sadness flashed in Lady Liu's eyes: "Alas, Chang Luo was only made the crown prince ten years ago, and I thought that I would be able to come from now on, who wants to walk on thin ice more." If it weren't for the suppression of the Empress Dowager Xiaoding, the two of them would have been ...... long ago."

Lan'er hurriedly said: "Miss, don't think about these troublesome things anymore, think more about the little prince, and life will get better day by day." ”

After that, he came to Ren Hongfei and said with a smile: "By the inspection, by the inspection, by the inspection, Zhu by the inspection, what a beautiful name the little prince has." ”

Ren Hongfei was almost so angry that he vomited blood: "Listen to your sister, pig mail... Why don't you call it a pigpen? ”

Wait, Ren Hongfei was stunned, the name Zhu Youzhen is quite familiar, and after thinking about it for a while, his history is not very good, but he knows that the surname Zhu seems to be the only Ming Dynasty in the world. I've been thinking about it for a long time, ah! That Emperor Chongzhen's tuba seems to be called Zhu Youzhen, Ren Hongfei is so desperate that he has the heart to commit suicide, do you say that it is easy for me to be electrocuted half-dead and undead, and I became a king of a dead country, and I had to hang myself on the coal mountain in my early thirties.

Looking at Ren Hongfei, who was stunned, Lan'er said helplessly: "The little prince is asleep again." ”

Mother Han gently put Ren Hongfei on the Luohan bed, and saluted Lady Liu: "Princess, the New Year is coming soon, I want to go back and clean up first, my two little cubs are jumping up and down all day long, and the house is like catching up with a big set." ”

Lady Liu said with a smile: "Mother Han, go ahead, Lan'er, go get five taels of silver and buy a few new clothes and candy for Mother Han's two little sons." ”

Lan'er left in response, and Mother Han hurriedly said: "The princess must not do it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has raised my family so much, let him be a personal guard by his side, the princess has treated the slave and maid so well, and the slave and maid are grateful." Besides, you don't have a lot of money in your hands..."Han Ma suddenly realized something and hurriedly shut up.

Lady Liu's eyes dimmed again: "Mother Han, don't be too little, this is a little bit of my heart, I..."

Mother Han hurriedly knelt down: "The slave doesn't dare, the slave doesn't dare." ”

Then he took the money and withdrew.
