Chapter 291: Compassion
In late spring and early summer, when the weather began to warm up, Shi Jian looked at the sun setting in the west, and instructed his entourage, "Let's go." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Yes......"
So, a carriage swayed towards the Yan Wangfu.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of King Yan's mansion, before Shi Jian could get out of the car, Zhang Bao greeted him, bowed and said, "Your Highness, you are finally here, His Royal Highness King Yan has been waiting in the mansion for a long time." ”
Shi Jian hurriedly jumped out of the car and said politely: "Master Lao personally greets you." ”
"Your Highness is polite, please inside!"
"Lord Zhang, please!" Shi Jian nodded slightly.
Zhang Bao turned around and led the way in front, and Shi Jian tidied up his clothes a little and hurriedly followed.
The two stepped into the gate of King Yan's mansion, Shi Jian looked around, and when he saw the luxurious mansion, Shi Jian's eyes were a little shining.
Zhang Bao naturally noticed Shi Jian's actions, but he didn't say anything, just smiled slightly, as if he didn't know anything.
Before arriving at the front hall, he saw that Shi Shi was already standing at the door waiting, Shi Jian hurriedly stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "The younger brother has seen the second emperor brother!" ”
Shi Shi stepped forward, grabbed Shi Jian's arm, and said, "My brother, don't be polite, please inside." ”
"Brother Xie Huang!" Shi Jian hurriedly thanked him.
Entering the front hall, Shi Jian looked up and couldn't help but exclaim: "Second Emperor Brother is really brilliant here, and the Younger Brother's Ning Wangfu is simply a broken brick and a broken brick compared to it!" ”
Shi Shi smiled and said, "Third brother, if you like it, you can come often in the future." ”
Shi Jian was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly responded with a smile: "Brother Xie Huang's kindness." ”
"Come on, come on, take a seat!" Shi Shi gestured.
"Huh!" Shi Jian nodded, and then sat down on the left hand side of Shi Shi.
"His Royal Highness King Ning." Zhang Bao stood motionless and looked at Shi Jian, and shouted in a low voice.
Shi Jian raised his head, looked at Zhang Bao with a puzzled expression, and asked, "What's wrong, Lord Zhang?" ”
Zhang Bao turned sideways slightly, pointed to the opposite seat, and said with a smile: "Your seat is here." ”
Shi Jian hurriedly pushed back and said, "It's okay, it's okay, Lord Zhang, please." ”
Zhang Bao walked over, took Shi Jian's arm, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness is the prince of the emperor's own title, and he is also the sibling brother of His Royal Highness King Yan. ”
Zhang Bao said that he wanted to pull Shi Jian up, but Shi Jian was unwilling to live or die.
At this time, Shi Shi said: "Third brother, you just listen to Lord Zhang, today is mainly a gathering of you and my brothers, Lord Zhang is just a companion, and you really have to sit in this position." ”
Shi Shi pointed to the empty seat on his right hand and smiled at Shi Jian.
Shi Jian was helpless, hurriedly got up, saluted Shi Shi and Zhang Bao and said, "Thank you Second Emperor Brother, thank you Lord Zhang." ”
Shi Shi flicked his sleeves and watched Shi Jian sit down with a smile.
"There are no outsiders today, and we don't talk about the court, the third brother doesn't have to be restrained, come and come, and taste the wine in the brother's house!"
Shi Jian hurriedly picked up the wine glass and said to Shi Shi: "Thank you to the imperial brother for hosting a banquet, and the younger brother will do it first as a respect!" ”
After Shi Jian finished speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine in his cup.
"Good!" Zhang Bao applauded and praised: "His Royal Highness King Ning has a good amount of wine!" ”
Shi Shi smiled, drank it all, and then looked down and smiled at Shi Jian.
"Is this wine to your taste?" Shi Shi asked.
Shi Jian smacked his lips, nodded slightly, and said: "Imperial brother, the wine prepared today can be said to be the best wine that the younger brother has ever drunk in his life. ”
"If you like it, then don't get drunk and don't go home, how about it?"
Shi Jian looked at Shi Shi with some embarrassment, and said: "Brother Huang forgive me, the younger brother has just become the commander of the patrol battalion, and he doesn't dare to return to the camp with a hangover, please forgive me, Brother Huang, please forgive ......me."
After speaking, he apologized to Shi Shixing.
Shi Shi and Zhang Bao glanced at each other, and then Shi Shi said: "It's okay, it's okay, since that's the case, the third brother will have fun today, and I won't persuade you to drink more for my brother!" ”
"Brother Xie Huang!" Shi Jian thanked him repeatedly.
"How is Concubine Zheng lately?" Shi Shi asked.
At the mention of Concubine Zheng, Shi Jian's face was a little gloomy, he sighed, took a sip of wine, and said, "Brother Emperor Xie is worried, everything is fine with the concubine. ”
Shi Shi looked at him and sighed, frowned slightly, and asked, "The third brother seems to have something on his mind, isn't Concubine Zheng having a bad time in the palace?" ”
"I'm ashamed to say that I, as a son, have failed to honor my mother for many years, making her very poor in the palace." Shi Jian said, taking a sip of the wine.
"Concubine Zheng is the imperial concubine of her father's own concubine, no matter how she is, she will not be poor, right?" Shi Shi was a little unconvinced.
Shi Jian shook his head and said, "Brother Huang doesn't know, my mother has fallen out of favor for many years, and I don't remember the last time my father went to Evergreen Palace. Now the gates of the Evergreen Palace are decaying, the houses are in disrepair, and there will be rain leaks in some places. ”
Seeing Shi Jian's dejected appearance, Shi Shi was moved with compassion, sighed, and said: "It's a pity that my brother's mother died too early, otherwise Concubine Zheng would still be able to take care of it somewhat." ”
"If the mother concubine knew that the imperial brother had this heart, she would definitely be grateful."
"It's just that I don't know anything about my brother, since the Evergreen Palace is in disrepair, why don't you report it to the Inner Palace? Don't the celebrants care? ”
"Doesn't the royal brother know? In the inner courtyard of the deep palace, which one is not bullying the soft and afraid of the hard? My mother has fallen out of favor, how many minions will take the Evergreen Palace seriously? ”
Shi Shi slapped the table case angrily and scolded: "What a bunch of bastards, even if Concubine Zheng falls out of favor, it is also the imperial concubine who was appointed by her father, how can you allow those minions to be presumptuous!" The third brother can rest assured, tomorrow he will write to his father as a brother, and ask his father to order the repair of the Evergreen Palace! ”
When Shi Jian heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Brother Huang, don't do it!" ”
"Why is that?" Shi Shi was puzzled.
"Although the imperial brother is deeply favored by his father, but the affairs in the palace are not something that we can interfere with as courtiers, if the imperial brother insists on writing, it will inevitably anger his father, and it will be useless to the imperial brother!"
At this time, Zhang Bao said on the side: "Your Highness, His Royal Highness King Ning's words are reasonable, even if your starting point is good, for Your Majesty, you are arrogating the gift of the monarch and the minister's father and son, so ...... Please think twice, Your Highness. ”
"This ......"
"Brother Huang, your little brother has received it, and I also thank my mother for it, don't worry about this matter!" Shi Jian said, respectfully saluting Shi Shixing.
"Hey......" Shi Shi slapped his thigh helplessly, and then drank a glass of wine.
"His Royal Highness King Ning, Xiaguan heard that you have good tea on weekdays, this spring tea has been served, Xiaguan specially brought two packs today, from the Jin Kingdom in the south, Xiaguan will send it to you in a while!"
"Oh! New tea from the Jin Kingdom? I haven't drunk it in years, it must be good tea! Shi Jian was very happy when he heard that there was new tea to give him, and suddenly hesitated: "But ......"
"What's wrong, third brother?" Shi Shi asked.
Shi Jian smiled awkwardly and said, "As the saying goes, no merit is not rewarded...... In the past few years, there have been fewer and fewer good teas coming over from the Jin Kingdom, and Lord Zhang's new tea must have been hard-won, although the younger brother loves tea, he can't win people's love......"
Shi Jian said, and said to Zhang Bao: "Lord Zhang, I understand your intentions, but this tea ...... I really can't take ......."
Zhang Bao said unhurriedly: "Your Highness doesn't need to be polite, the so-called daughter is easy to get, but confidant is hard to find." There are many good wines in my Qiang people, and there are very few people who have good tea, and the sword is given to the hero, since His Royal Highness likes tea, then the official will definitely give His Highness a taste! ”
At this time, Shi Shi persuaded: "Okay, okay, third brother, since Master Zhang has a heart, don't shirk!" ”
Before Shi Jian could respond, Shi Shi said to Zhang Bao again: "Lord Zhang, this king has agreed to King Ning, and you will have someone send the tea over in a while!" ”
"The subordinate obeys!"
Shi Jian saw that the two of them sang and harmonized, and he had no choice but to accept it obediently, and thanked Zhang Bao repeatedly: "In this way, then thank you Lord Zhang......"
