Chapter 48: Zheng Chongjing

The father wanted to coax his mother, and Mu Tieyi and Mu Hongsheng's little brothers naturally hid out with great discernment. Although there are a lot of maids who serve tea fruits and errands in the guest house, in order to prevent her mother from worrying, Hongshang still deliberately left the lotus leaf in the guest house to facilitate errands and messages, and she and her brother went all the way out of the guest house and went to the direction of Prince Li's mansion garden.

Duchess An Guo specially instructed them not to go to crowded places, and the little brothers of the Mu family naturally knew it. The children of the Mu family are actually sensible early, and they know many things in their hearts, although Mu Tieyi usually seems to talk a lot, and Mu Hongshang looks active and reckless, but they have never been children who don't know the importance of things, and An Guogong and his wife are actually very relieved of them.

After leaving the guest house, Mu Hongshang and Mu Tieyi did not wander around, they went directly to the back garden of Prince Li's mansion, found a stone table next to the corridor by the lake, and sat near the stone table to chat.

Prince Li's birthday banquet, the family is very lively, from early in the morning, the busy people are endless, just after the hour, there have been guests to the door, but the banquet is still early, and gradually began to have guests wandering in the garden.

However, the little brothers of the Mu family are looking for a place that is quite quiet, and there are a few guests who enjoy the scenery in the lakeside corridor, but most of them will not be too far away from the water pavilion, Mu Hongshang and his brother are under the cover of a tall lake stone at the end of the lakeside corridor, there are not too many people here, and no one has been disturbed.

In autumn, although the wind on the lake is cool, the sun is just right, the garden of Prince Li's mansion is beautiful, Mu Tieyi and Mu Hongshang chatted while enjoying the scenery, but it was very comfortable.

At the beginning of the day, the emperor really sent the five princes and the six princes to come to the door to proclaim the birthday together, and the guests who received the letter went to the front hall to watch the ceremony. However, this has nothing to do with An Guogong's family, of course Prince Li could not have specially informed An Guogong and his wife to go to the front hall to kneel and worship, and the two babies of the Mu family naturally sat in place and did not walk around.

It's just that the Mu family is unwilling to have too much to do with the royal family, which does not mean that others are unwilling to find opportunities to get together. An Guogong has been in the court for many years, and he has always been cautious, everyone knows this, but it doesn't matter, this time he brought Mu Tieyi, the second son of An Guogong's mansion, over, you know, Mu Tieyi is the eldest son of An Guogong, and the next An Guogong can say a few words to him and have a good relationship.

Prince Li's birthday, Cheng'en Junwang's family are in the main hall to help welcome guests, as the eldest grandson, Cheng'en Junwang's eldest son is really busy, after a while, there have been seven or eight clan disciples to come over to inquire about the whereabouts of An Guogong's family, including Prince Xian's second son Rongkang Junwang.

Zheng Chongjing, the king of Rongkang County, is also an idle county king who leads a piece of the county king Lumi, and is a disciple of the clan who is not taken seriously.

Zheng Chongjing's great-grandfather was the seventh son of Xiaozong, the emperor's own uncle, and his biological mother was a noble concubine.

It's a pity that this very capable prince didn't live long, and he died before Xiaozong established the prince, and it is said that he died quite strangely, but although Xiaozong was angry at that time, he did not investigate it carefully, and only killed a palace concubine of low grade in the palace, and killed a few palace maids.

The death of the prince was thus covered up, and Xiaozong posthumously crowned the seventh son of the emperor, and named his three-year-old eldest son Prince Xian, who was Zheng Chongjing's grandfather.

I guess I really feel sorry for my son who died young, right? Before Xiaozongxu died, he specially told the enthroned emperor to take good care of Prince Yingxian's family.

Although the emperor promised well, he was still lukewarm to Prince Xian's family, although there was no shortage of daily rewards, but he refused to relax the surveillance of Prince Xian's mansion for a moment, until Prince Xian died, he gave a placating decree to let Prince Xian's eldest son, that is, the father of King Rongkang County, inherit the prince's title.

A few years later, the first emperor died, and now the saint inherits the unification, but the embarrassing situation of Prince Xian's mansion in the clan has not improved much.

The sons of this generation of Prince Xian are not so lucky to inherit the prince's title, his two sons were named county princes before they reached adulthood, and when they became adults, the emperor gave the county prince mansion in the name of He Yi, so Prince Xian's father and son do not live in one place at the moment.

There are only concubines, concubines and unmarried daughters in Prince Xian's mansion, and the two concubines have just become adults and have not yet married their wives and moved to the county palace given by the saint......

Although he is a child of the clan in an embarrassing situation, the king of Rongkang County is handsome, modest and cautious, and famous at a young age.

Zheng Chongjing is the same age as the emperor's sons, and when the fifth and sixth princes began to study, the emperor specially selected a group of clan children to study with the prince in the inner garden, including Zheng Chongjing. Of course, the children of the clan who accompany them are still different from the ones that the emperor carefully chose for his sons.

But Zheng Chongjing has been studying in the inner garden for ten years, and he has at least two classmates with the princes, and he is smart and knows how to advance and retreat, and his relationship with the fifth prince and the sixth prince is not bad.

When he grew up, Zheng Chongjing was humble and polite, and quite talented, so most of the children of the clan and the sons of the family were friendly with him, and he was also quite famous among the princes in Beijing.

The eldest son of King Cheng'en also has a good relationship with Zheng Chongjing, but this does not mean that he will casually lead Zheng Chongjing to his cousin.

Zheng Chongjing inquired for a long time, and the eldest son of the king of Cheng'en County only said that the family was busy today, and his cousin Mu Tieyi was also helping to entertain guests, but he didn't know where he was now, and he didn't say a word.

Zheng Chongjing was a little disappointed, but he didn't dwell on it much, he arched his hand towards the eldest son of the king of Cheng'en County, and left with a twist of footsteps, looking like he was going to the flower hall to drink tea.

However, in fact, Zheng Chongjing did not go far, he stood not far away, holding a cup of tea in his hand, as if he was chatting with a young master beside him, and was actually watching the guests coming and going.

At the beginning of the hour, the five princes and the six princes appeared at the gate of Prince Li's mansion together, and the case of receiving the incense was prepared early, Prince Li led the whole family to kneel to receive the holy decree, Zheng Chongjing was mixed in the guests, smiling, as if he was watching the ceremony seriously, but his eyes wandered around, but what disappointed him was that An Guogong's family did not appear.
