Chapter 265: Your Highness
Chen Wangshu took the wine handed over by Zhang Yunnian and took a sip gently.
"The entrance is very light, suitable for a little lady to drink, with a sweet taste of green apricots."
Zhang Yunnian smiled and looked at Yan Jue, "Niangniang liked Qingxing very much back then. Especially when I was pregnant with Your Highness, I ate a lot of baskets. The emperor favored her very much, and at night everyone else slept ......"
"Carrying the basket on his back, he secretly ran to a corner of the palace wall and picked apricots. I heard that there is an apricot blossom alley in the south of Tokyo City, which is close to an ancient well, so the apricots that grow are different from the other places, and they are the best products. ”
"These good apricots are waiting to be ripe, so they are packed in bamboo baskets and sent to dignitaries. The official family sneaked out of the palace with Niangniang that night, picked up the green apricots full of trees, and was afraid that the apricot planters would lose, so they left a big ingots on the branches. ”
Zhang Yunnian was obviously very interested, talking and smiling, and his face was like a blooming chrysanthemum.
"My lord, when I was an official in Tokyo City, did I still have to patrol the city at night?"
said that he had a nose and eyes, but he didn't know, and he thought that the official family was traveling at night with his favorite concubine, and he put it aside to shoot!
Zhang Yunnian is very satisfied with Chen Wangshu's knowledge, if no one praises it, then there will be no such taste.
"Because the almond tree belongs to my family."
As he spoke, he lifted his robe, took it out, took out a gold ingot, put it in his palm, touched it with some nostalgia, and stretched it out in front of Chen Wangshu, with a smug face.
Chen Wangshu was speechless and took out a mirror in his sleeve pocket, aiming at Zhang Yunnian's face.
Zhang Yunnian was stunned for a moment, and looked at the mirror, a small bronze mirror, with several colorful gems inlaid on it, which looked quite luxurious.
"Isn't this also a reward from the emperor?"
Chen Wangshu shook his head, "No, I want you to look in the mirror." We're not three years old. Look at your brisk steps today, I can be sure of something. ”
"On weekdays, when you walk with a crutch and sway, it turns out that you are being scrambled by gold ingots. It's great, I think you'll live a long life. ”
Zhang Yunnian's old face darkened at first, and when he heard the words "longevity and 100 years old", he laughed again, "You are like your grandfather, and your mouth is like a knife." I don't bring it with me on weekdays, but I'm happy today, so I'll show you. ”
"I just don't know what to do."
As he spoke, as if he had been reminded by Chen Wangshu, his steps staggered again.
Chen Wangshu said that he still helped him to go to the back room.
It was quiet, even the barking of dogs was faintly visible, and it seemed to be far away.
"I'm really happy today. Although the old minister knew that His Highness was trying to maintain his obscurity before, it can be seen that His Highness couldn't make a decision for a long time, and he was also very worried in his heart. ”
Zhang Yunnian said, glancing at the gold ingot.
"The old minister is old, I don't know if I can see it, Your Highness will take back what belongs to you. Today's Great Chen Dynasty, you have also seen it. The old minister is upright, and everything he says is heart-wrenching, and His Royal Highness didn't want to fight before. ”
"It's not that the old minister hasn't weighed it, they are all surnamed Jiang, or just do it. But in the end, it is difficult to settle, and now that His Highness has figured it out, let's not steam steamed buns to fight for breath. ”
"All of a sudden, I feel that my waist is no longer sore, and my legs are no longer painful, as if I have returned to the time when I first entered the court. If he can live up to the trust of the emperor and Lord Chen, the old minister will die immediately, and it will be blind. ”
Chen Wangshu secretly glanced at Yan Jue, and saw that he didn't mean to speak, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said, "You two know it clearly, but I am like a loach that has just been put in the pot, and I don't know what happened." ”
"You might as well tell me from the beginning. I asked Yan Jue, he was always distracted, he was young at that time, and many of them were not clear. I can't figure out who is good and who is bad, and I'm afraid that when I make a move, I will hurt my own people. ”
Zhang Yunnian did not doubt that he was there, Chen Wangshu was only a little older at that time, and the Chen family obviously hadn't thought about it before, and they wanted to marry her to the Huguo Mansion, obviously because they didn't want to wade into this troubled water, Chen Wangshu didn't know anything about the inside story, which was normal.
"This matter has to start with your mother Li."
Chen Wangshu took a lot of effort to hide his surprise.
"Your mother has a cousin named Li Minxiu...... "Zhang Yunnian said, arching his hand towards the Northland.
"When Lord Chen married his wife, Li Minxiu, as the sister of the Li family, blocked the door. Your grandfather has not passed away yet, he is the prince and the prince. When the emperor was in the palace, he was extremely good with your third uncle. ”
"At that time, the prosperity of the Chen family was far better than the previous Gao family. Your father was the eldest of the concubines, and he married the daughter of a famous family, and the emperor came when he was married. ”
Chen Wangshu was secretly surprised when she listened, when she was born, her grandfather had already returned to dust, and the home was a hall of her grandfather Chen Bei.
After going south, she was afraid that the old lady would touch the scene and hurt when she mentioned the old things, so Chen Qing issued a ban, telling them to be at home and not mention the things in Tokyo City back then, so she didn't know about these things at all.
No wonder Uncle Chen, a good jinshi and all-round talent in civil and military affairs, actually became a black feather guard, and the emperor was on his deathbed......
"Li Minxiu is a peerless beauty, and the emperor took a fancy to her at a glance at the wedding banquet. welcomed into the palace and sealed the concubine. ”
"The concubine Niangniang won the love and trust of the emperor, and later gave birth to His Royal Highness."
Chen Wangshu listened, thinking secretly in his heart.
Li told her the old story, saying that when she was pregnant with her younger brother Chen Changge, she ate a lot of sour bamboo shoots made by the palace kitchen, and she used to communicate with her aunt in the palace.
Obviously, this aunt is Li Minxiu, Li Guifei. is Yan Jue's biological mother.
"If there is no great change in Tokyo, then with the qualifications of His Royal Highness, he must have already set foot in the Northern Qi Dynasty and become the most promising prince of my Great Chen Dynasty."
Zhang Yunnian said, his eyes were shining, but after a while, he touched the chair and sat down, his expression lowered.
"It's a pity...... When the city of Tokyo was changing drastically, the old minister happened to be in the palace to discuss with the new emperor, and he heard the little eunuch hurriedly come to report, saying that it was not good, the Qi people had come in, and the city gate was about to be breached. ”
"We were caught off guard, and the official family urgently called for the Praetorian Guard to escort us, not wanting that the commander of the Praetorian Guard was dead, the dragons were leaderless, and the general trend was gone. In desperation, your grandfather was in command and was ordered in danger. ”
"And I, together with your third uncle, escorted His Royal Highness out of the palace and went to meet Commander Yan."
Zhang Yunnian is very eloquent, like a storyteller, he explained, "Commander Yan is the current Duke of Hu Guo, and at that time, he was the commander of the Black Feather Guard of the official family. That's when I found out. ”
"Yan is really admirable in commanding Gao Yi."
