Chapter 96

Since the crown prince succeeded to the throne, Jing Tingrui has become a big celebrity next to the emperor, and the mansion of Prince Jing's mansion is naturally bright and bright, with two new huge red lanterns hanging in front of the gate. [Full text reading]

On both sides of the marble steps, there are also two extremely powerful bronze lions, and the people standing around them are all uniformly dressed guards, not small servants, making this Jing Prince's Mansion a great magnificence.

Jing Ting Rui rode a horse here, without a deputy general or a guard, this line of shadows is single, and his style is simple, not like a general at all.

However, even though he was dressed in a navy blue plain shirt and did not wear a long sword, his majestic and upright figure, his courage not to be angry and arrogant, and the black horse under his crotch, all made people immediately wake up to the fact that this was General Jing's return!

Jing Tingrui commanded the forbidden army and the imperial forest army in the palace, and was the most important line of defense around the emperor.

Although Jing Tingrui followed the emperor, he also served as a first-class general and crusaded against Jialan for the emperor. However, since ancient times, the generals who guard the forbidden palace are the ones who have won the emperor's trust. Therefore, Jing Tingrui's popularity today is even greater than when he played for the Emperor.

"General." The guards saluted respectfully, and no one dared to peek at the handsome, unsmiling face.

"Ouch, my eldest young master, come back without notifying! This is a coincidence, the prince and the mother both went to the Guanyin Temple to make incense. ”

Today is March 15, and Princess Jing always worships the Bodhisattva devoutly, and goes there every first and fifteenth day of the new year to pray for her son Jing Tingyun. And Prince Jing has always been a "woman singing with a husband" to the princess, so he naturally wants to go together.

"It's okay, I happened to be passing by, come in to see my mother." Jing Tingrui didn't care about the housekeeper Lao Liu's words, he entered the gate and saw a marble shadow wall carved with a tiger, which was obviously newly made.

And this way in, Jing Tingrui almost didn't recognize that this was the original palace, the green tile-covered building is like the fairy mountain Qiong Tower, and in the newly expanded lake, there are stone carvings of cranes dancing and carp jumping over the dragon gate.

"This is a garden specially rebuilt a few months ago for the second young master's wedding, you haven't seen it yet, have you?" Noticing Jing Tingrui's gaze, he stopped on the pavilions with carved railings and paintings, and Lao Liu said with a smile, "Don't look at the earth-shaking changes here, in fact, I didn't make many taels of silver, and there are many things here, all of which have been made by others and specially sent." ”

"Father, he took it all? Such a heavy gift? ”

"The prince refused to accept it at first, but it was difficult to accept it. Otherwise, people have to say that our palace has a high vision and looks down on them, so they don't want to accept gifts. Lao Liu walked all the way, talking all the way.

And last time, Jing Tingrui was unable to attend his brother's wedding because of military affairs, and Lao Liu told the scene of the roof overturning that was so lively at that time that he vividly recounted it.

Like a big ring was set up by the lotus pond, Mongolian wrestling was performed, and the stage in the Wanghu Pavilion sang for ten days in a row, and the guests came like clouds, and the congratulatory gifts were almost stacked to the ceiling.

But it's a pity that Jing Tingyun drank too much, and he fell to the ground drunk without making trouble in the cave room, and was carried back to the young grandmother.

This young grandmother is like a flower, she is a young lady from a big family, the door is right, when she got off the big red sedan chair, she wore thirty pairs of dragon and phoenix bracelets in her hand, and the gold was dazzling. However, it is a pity that she has been in the door for more than five months, but her stomach has not moved.

So the princess couldn't sit still, so she had to go to the Guanyin Temple to ask for her grandson, so she went out early in the morning.

"According to Xiao's opinion, the second young master and young grandmother are so young, holding the child is not a matter of immediate importance, so there is no need to worry." Lao Liu said a little too much, he was chewing the root of his master's tongue.

Jing Tingrui just glanced at him, and he was so shocked that he quickly shut up.

In fact, Lao Liu himself also felt strange, he was not such a disproportionate person, but when he stood by General Jing's side, he panicked in his heart, and couldn't help talking, to put it bluntly, it was also to hide his nervous mood.

He also felt that the affairs in the palace, no matter how big or small, could not be hidden from these sharp eyes, so it was better to talk about it first.

Jing Tingrui's biological mother, Concubine An, was quiet by nature, and Lao Liu whispered, "An Niangniang's house didn't make much noise, but the walls were whitewashed, and eight magnolia flowers given by the emperor were planted in front of the door, which is beautiful." ”

Jing Tingrui went to the gate of the west courtyard, sure enough, it was the same as before, the yard was clean, if it weren't for the orchids planted in front of the door that scattered a faint fragrance, like purple jade and white jade, I thought this was the palace of the palace.

Entering the round arch, there is a living room with an open east window, a rosewood chaise tomb covered with purple silk cushions, and in front of it is an antique rosewood coffee table, with a guqin and a plate of peaches.

"These have all been replaced." Lao Liu said happily, "It turns out that those are too plain and do not conform to the identity of the princess." ”

In this regard, Jing Tingrui only nodded slightly. Lao Liu actively went to call the princess, even if it was his own son, he couldn't go straight to the mother's bedroom.

Looking out of the east window is the courtyard, and there is a drain outside the wall, which emits a foul smell when it is hot. During heavy rains, dirty water will also pour into the yard, such an environment is not good, but it is the place where Jing Tingrui was born and lived until he was nine years old.

still remembers that when he was seven years old, Jing Tingyun broke his favorite wooden sword and threw it into the ditch.

Jing Tingrui has been practicing martial arts since he was three years old, so he naturally knows how to dodge, but Jing Tingyun used too much force, plunged into the ditch, and poured several mouthfuls of dirty water.

Although Jing Tingrui quickly pulled him up, his howling and crying still disturbed the whole house. Princess Jing was angry, pointed at Concubine An's nose and scolded, "Look at the lowly hooves you raised, you dare to murder the young master!" ’

Jing Tingyun cried to the prince vigorously, 'It was my brother who pushed me down, he is bad!' ’

For this matter, Jing Tingrui was punished to kneel in the middle of the courtyard, not eating or drinking, and for three whole days, Concubine An couldn't do anything but cry silently on the side.

"Tingrui, it's really you."

A female voice full of affection, but she didn't dare to show too much, so much so that she trembled slightly, came from behind, interrupting Jing Tingrui's memories
