Chapter 299: What kind of father

Chu Hongyi is probably playing close to Cheng Xiaoxiao, and this distraction is exactly the same, and his mind is too empty after a while.

In the end, it was Concubine Su Guifei who whispered Chu Hongyi several times, and Chu Hongyi came back to his senses.

"Huh? What did you say, mother? ”

Chu Hongyi looked at Concubine Su consciously afterwards, but he couldn't react to what Concubine Su called him.

"Your father asked you if you wanted your favorite fish for the main course of the banquet?"

Su Guifei's eyes kept refusing to leave on Chu Hongzhen's face as she spoke, and Chu Hongzhen also looked at Su Guifei with a pampering face, but Chu Hongyi, who was questioned, looked like an outsider.

Chu Hongyi looked at the affectionate two people here, then at the expressionless queen mother, and at Zhao Guifei and Chu Jingshuo, who were slightly pale, and said a sentence without thinking about it:

"But doesn't starling like fish?"

As soon as Chu Hongyi's words came out, the expressions of several people present froze, and the atmosphere froze at this moment, and for a while the air was so quiet that even the needle could be heard.

Yuan Qing, who was standing in the distance, shook his head helplessly, and he didn't know if it was because of Chu Hongyi's uprightness, or because of the sudden cold atmosphere.

Su Guifei lowered her head a little embarrassed, and the smile on Chu Hongzhen's face was all taken back.

In the end, it was Zhao Guifei who stood up first to ease the atmosphere: "No, this is the birthday banquet of His Royal Highness King Xuan, and it should be dominated by His Royal Highness King Xuan."

Zhao Guifei glanced at Chu Jingshuo as she spoke, motioned to Chu Jingshuo to quickly say a few words, and added:

"Besides, Jing Shuo has always liked to eat fish, right, Jing Shuo."

Chu Jingshuo had a smile that couldn't be faker, cleared his throat and opened his mouth: "Erchen doesn't have any taboos, and he doesn't like anything."

In fact, Chu Jingxuan didn't want to compromise like this, but since Zhao Guifei was grounded by Chu Hongzhen last time, Chu Hongzhen's attitude towards Zhao Guifei has not been as good as before.

Chu Jingxuan himself was not greatly affected, as Chu Hongzhen's 'most beloved' eighth prince, he was still deeply valued as always.

It's just that considering Zhao Guifei's concerns, Chu Jingxuan still cooperated and said what Zhao Guifei wanted to hear.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Chu Hongzhen hadn't regained his smile first, and Zhao Guifei was relieved first.

Fortunately, Zhao Guifei and Chu Jingxuan sang and adjusted the atmosphere like this, and the atmosphere that was so silent just now that it was suffocating did improve a lot.

Su Guifei looked at Chu Hongzhen and was still a little displeased, and hurriedly spoke to Chu Hongyi:

"What are you talking about? Don't apologize to His Royal Highness King Qing yet! If you don't have a good memory, don't talk nonsense. ”

Chu Hongyi was scolded again, and it was inevitable that he was a little aggrieved in his heart, he deliberately didn't look at Su Guifei, turned his face sideways, and muttered in a low voice:

"Starlings don't like to eat fish, everyone in the palace knows it."

This sentence was said to be self-talking, but in fact, everyone present heard it clearly.

Zhao Guifei glanced at Chu Hongyi resentfully, and directly attributed Chu Hongyi's behavior to intentionality, and her mouth was still coldly explaining:

"No, His Royal Highness King Xuan must have misremembered."

I still have to say that Zhao Guifei was prescient, Chu Jingshuo really didn't expect Chu Hongyi to be stupid enough to say such a thing.

But come to think of it, this is also in line with Chu Hongyi's character as always.

Su Guifei really didn't expect her son to be so ignorant, and she didn't know how to restrain herself after she deliberately reminded her.

And what did he say?

'The palace people know'?

Does this mean that the emperor Chu Hongzhen doesn't know about it and doesn't care enough about Chu Jingxuan?

If these words came out of Chu Jingxuan's mouth, it would still show that Chu Jingshuo was narrow-minded and couldn't tolerate anything. It was Chu Hongyi who helped him say it, and the important thing is that the other party didn't appreciate it at all.

Seeing that Chu Hongyi was about to speak, for fear that he would say something amazing, Su Guifei shouted directly at Chu Hongyi:

"You get down on my knees! It's just that you yourself are mistaken, and you still want to confuse the public here, and you don't know your mistake quickly! ”

Concubine Su Guifei is very fond of Chu Hongyi on weekdays, and rarely gets angry with Chu Hongyi, so Chu Hongyi was also frightened, and knelt down and apologized to the pale-faced Su Guifei and the unclear Chu Hongzhen:

"Father, it's the son's memory that is wrong, and the son-in-law is willing to be punished."

"Alright, don't scare Hongyi. He was also worried about Jing Shuo, and it didn't matter if he remembered it for a while. ”

Chu Hongzhen raised his hand to Chu Hongyi, who was kneeling, signaled Chu Hongyi to hurry up, and nodded her nose at Su Guifei:

"Concubine Ai is so angry, even I feel a little scared."

"The emperor will joke, the concubines are not afraid that they will be displeased by Sister Zhao and His Royal Highness King Qing."

Su Guifei lowered her head shyly, and eagerly took her eyes to peek at Chu Hongzhen, and lowered her eyes embarrassedly after being discovered by Chu Hongzhen.

Chu Hongzhen was very satisfied with Zhao Guifei and Chu Jingshuo's words, so it seems that the eighth child is indeed quite sensible, and knows how to advance and retreat, and at the moment Chu Hongzhen also followed their words and said lightly:

"Your sister Zhao is not such a stingy person, Jing Shuo and Hongyi are even more brothers, and they don't care about these." Chu Hongzhen patted Concubine Su Guifei on the shoulder and comforted her, and turned his face sideways to look at Chu Jingxuan:

"Really, Jing Shuo?"

Chu Hongzhen's words seemed casual, but in fact, they had a strong sense of majesty.

When he spoke, the fourteenth prince Chu Hongyi also looked at Chu Jingxuan expectantly, for fear that the eighth prince Chu Jingxuan would pop out of his mouth with the word 'no'.

The fists in Chu Jingshuo's sleeves were about to be crushed, but he still maintained that warm and jade-like smile on the surface:

"My father is right, the fourteenth brother is also kind, how can I think about it."

Looking at Zhao Guifei on Chu Jingxuan's side, she almost bit her silver teeth, she originally thought that the fourteenth prince would be so stupid that she would anger Chu Hongzhen, and if she and the eighth prince pretended to be generous and innocent, Chu Hongzhen would definitely favor their side, but she didn't expect Chu Hongzhen to care about these at all, and it was even more mandatory to ask Chu Jingxuan to coax the fourteenth.

What is this?

Don't you take their mother and son in the slightest?

Zhao Guifei grabbed the silk handkerchief in her hand, and she had to maintain the same false smile on her face as everyone else.

Because of this stubble, Chu Hongyi's birthday banquet was not mentioned again for the time being.

As for Chu Hongzhen's call to the eighth prince Chu Jingxuan, it was entirely because it was just three days after the fourteenth prince's birthday, which was Chu Jingxuan's birthday.

It's just that this will mention Chu Jingxuan's birthday, and it is obvious that a few people in the Lin De Hall except for Chu Hongyi are not as enthusiastic as before, and even the queen mother is quite absent-minded.

"After all, you have the prince of the mansion, and I won't hold a palace banquet for you to delay you and your wife and children getting together."

Chu Hongzhen said to Chu Jingxuan intimately.

The palace banquet is usually attended by the ministers of the court and the central government, and the female dependents are to sit separately and start a separate banquet.

And the female dependents who participated in the banquet can only be in the main room, and cannot bring children, considering that Chu Jingxuan's family has many female dependents, a group of wives and concubines, and the side room is a new addition, Chu Hongzhen thought so.

"Why don't we set up a banquet that day, and you will bring your princess and the side princess, and bring a few children to me to see."

Mentioning several imperial grandsons and granddaughters, Chu Hongzhen's face also showed a smile.

It's just that Chu Jingxuan, who was sitting on the side, felt like he had knocked over the seasoning, and he had mixed tastes.

Why!

Why is fourteen a palace banquet, and a family banquet to me!

The voice in Chu Jingxuan's heart kept shouting, and the voice rushed to the top of his head, almost lifting the Heavenly Spirit Cover and coming out of his head.

Probably because Chu Jingxuan's smile is quite realistic, Chu Hongyi is not afraid of death, adding fuel to the fire and saying:

"Yes, starling, you remember to bring a few children! I haven't seen them for a long time, and I don't know if they still recognize me as an imperial uncle. ”

Hearing that Chu Hongyi was so active, the smile on Chu Hongzhen's face deepened a little, and he immediately made a decision:

"Then it's decided, Queen Lao, you can watch it when the time comes, and start arranging it."

The queen got up from the soft collapse and saluted Chu Hongzhen, and her gestures were quite atmospheric.

And Chu Jingxuan, who was sitting on the chair with his head bowed, no one noticed how ugly his face was, and the anger in his eyes almost burned his reason.

Fortunately, after discussing these Chu Hongzhen, he let everyone leave, and he and Su Guifei stayed in the Linde Hall to play chess, and naturally the fourteenth prince Chu Hongyi was next to him.

The queen mother left first, followed by Zhao Guifei and Chu Jingxuan.

In today's scene, the queen mother, as an outsider, was a refreshing observer.

And Zhao Guifei, who came out of the Lin De Palace, directly collapsed a face like a delicate flower, and Chu Jingxuan on the side was even more gloomy, and his face was ugly and scary.

Chu Jingxuan accompanied Zhao Guifei all the way back to Shufang Palace, and as soon as she entered the main hall, Zhao Guifei smashed a vase directly to the ground.

Zhao Guifei didn't think it was enough to relieve her anger, so she walked to the tea case and swept all the teapots and cups on the tea case to the ground in one go.

"Mother, why bother?"

Chu Jingxuan was already upset, and when he saw Zhao Guifei throwing things so angrily, he finally held back his emotions and came to dissuade Zhao Guifei first.

"Go down, all of you."

There was also a row of palace maids and eunuchs standing behind Chu Jingxuan, who didn't dare to come out, he sent these people away, sat down by the tea table by himself, and motioned for Zhao Guifei to sit over as well.

The anger in Zhao Guifei's eyes had not yet dissipated, she walked over and sat down with a cold face under Chu Jingxuan's greeting:

"Don't you see the attitude of your father today?"

Zhao Guifei was finally angry, and she questioned Chu Jingxuan angrily.

"Huh. What's the use of seeing it if you don't see it? Isn't the mother's mind clear about the father's thoughts? ”

There was no one around, and Chu Jingxuan didn't bother to pretend anymore, he took off the gentle smile on his face, and pulled out a sneering arc.

"What kind of person is my father, my mother and I should have understood it a long time ago, didn't we?"

Chu Jingxuan's eyes were uncertain, as if he was in a deep memory, and his voice became a little more unclear.

As soon as he said this, he and Zhao Guifei were almost instantly pulled back to a certain day several years ago.

It has been nearly seven or eight years since that incident, and at that time, Chu Jingxuan was still young, and he only knew to follow Chu Yunshen behind him and beg Chu Yunshen to play with him every day.
