Chapter 146: Heavenly Family Father and Son
In the East Palace, the crown prince Wei Jin put down the scroll in his hand, and looked outside the hall for the first time: "Hasn't the crown princess come back yet?" ”
"Back to His Royal Highness, the servants have already sent someone to guard the palace gate, and it must not be long before the crown princess will come back." Zhang Desong, the steward and eunuch who served beside the prince, hurriedly replied.
"Forget it, Lone will pick up the princess in person." Wei Jin couldn't sit still and got down directly from the couch.
"Your Highness, I can't help it. The wound on your head has not healed yet, and the imperial doctor has said that it will not be able to see the wind. Zhang Desong stopped with a worried face.
"Those quacks are used to being alarmist." Wei Jin didn't take Zhang Desong's dissuasion to heart, he snorted lightly, his thick eyebrows twisted, and his face was displeased: "A group of corpse vegetarian people, if they really have some ability, how can Rong'er's heart palpitations not get better." ”
Zhang Desong choked in his throat, the crown princess's palpitations were not very serious, it was just a means for harem women to compete for favor, and only His Royal Highness the crown prince would not see it. Of course, Zhang Desong did not dare to say these words in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"Your Royal Highness, if the crown princess knew that you went out of the palace to welcome her, she would definitely feel distressed." Zhang Desong hurriedly stepped forward to help Wei Jin.
"Bastard, don't prepare the sedan chair yet." Wei Jin tightened his eyebrows, and said in a fierce tone.
Zhang Desong was afraid that the prince would be angry, so he could only send the little eunuch to hurry up.
As a result, as soon as Wei Jin walked out of the main hall, he saw a palace person rushing to report: "His Royal Highness the Prince, it's not good......
"Filthy things, how can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be bad?" Zhang Desong raised his eyebrows, if he hadn't been holding the prince, he would have given this stupid palace maid a heartwarming kick immediately.
The palace maid also realized that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly knelt on the ground tremblingly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the Crown Princess Niangniang was detained in the Chengenbo Mansion by Lord Jiang, the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard......"
"What's going on?" The gentle expression on Wei Jin's face disappeared in an instant, his eyebrows were gloomy, and the words spit out from his thin lips seemed to be filled with ice ballast, which made people suddenly feel excited.
"Returning to His Royal Highness the Prince, it was the guards who followed the princess out of the palace today to hand over the words to the slaves, what happened specifically, the guards did not say clearly. However, ......" The palace maid paused, and then said: "It is probably related to the county lord of Yonghe." ”
"It's the Xie family again!" Wei Jin's eyebrows were a little irritable.
Since Xie Yan and this woman returned to the capital, everything has not gone well for him, and the crown princess has eaten melons in front of his father several times because of Xie Yanhe.
Wei Jin sounded the inkstone that smashed on his head a few days ago, and the wound suddenly felt a faint pain, he was originally very good at forbearance, but at this moment he couldn't help but confide in front of the palace people: "My father is getting more and more confused, an outsider, but for the sake of outsiders, even his own son and daughter-in-law have to make it difficult." No way! Lone can't watch the crown princess being wronged like this! ”
Wei Jin pushed away Zhang Desong, who was supporting him, and strode towards the outside of the main hall.
Zhang Desong felt bitter in his heart: His Majesty is already very dissatisfied with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince makes trouble with His Majesty again for the matter of the Crown Princess......
Zhang Desong only felt that the back of his head was cold, and he suddenly didn't dare to let himself continue to think about it.
"His Royal Highness the Prince! His Royal Highness the Prince! If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan......" Zhang Desong was anxious, and trotted behind Wei Jin.
Wei Jin was injured and did not walk fast. Although Zhang Desong delayed his efforts for a while because he was stunned, he still quickly ran in front of Wei Jin.
Zhang Desong stretched out his arms, jumped up and hugged Wei Jin's thighs, and begged: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty is the king, you are the minister, you can't be confused......"
"Confused? Lone has never been so sober. ”
Wei Jin's expression was cold.
He said self-deprecatingly: "Lone was too good-tempered before, and he would tolerate a courtier several times. Lone wants to ask his father, in his father's heart, is Lone's own son no better than the daughter of a foreign minister? ”
After Wei Jin finished speaking, there was a sadness in his heart.
Recently, he has been blamed at every turn in front of his father, and every time his father punishes him, there will always be a shadow of Xie Yanhe behind the matter.
Wei Jin felt a sense of confusion in his heart.
It is true that he really can't stand Xie Yanhe. It's lovely, the person you like is a cousin from beginning to end, and you can't control your feelings at all.
Not to mention...... She offered to give Xie Yan and compensation, but she refused. This woman is not greedy enough, but it is ridiculous that her father is wise and wise, and she will be deceived by Xie Yanhe.
Thinking of this, Wei Jin's expression turned sharp, and he condescendingly glanced at Zhang Desong, who was holding his thigh, with a gloomy face: "Lone asked you one last time, will you let go?" ”
Wei Jin's face was very terrifying. But Zhang Desong is loyal to the prince, and the more the prince is like this, the more Zhang Desong can't let go.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, maybe the Crown Princess will come back in a while." Zhang Desong said softly.
"Dog minion!" Wei Jin accumulated strength under his feet, laboriously pulled out his right foot, and kicked Zhang Desong away.
The force of Wei Jin's kick was extremely heavy, and Zhang Desong stumbled and involuntarily let go.
There was a sharp pain in his chest, Zhang Desong took a while to ease up, he clenched his teeth tightly, and was about to continue to step forward to stop him, but saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had disappeared.
Zhang Desong rubbed his swollen and aching chest and smiled bitterly. The crown princess is too ignorant. If she hadn't always fanned the flames in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, the relationship between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty would not have been so stiff.
There are no fathers and sons in heaven! The crown princess is acting so recklessly, and one day she will harm His Royal Highness the prince. I hate my own people for being soft-spoken, and I can only watch His Royal Highness the Crown Prince take a fork in the road!
Zhang Desong couldn't help but be disheartened.
Wei Jin ran all the way to the Qianyuan Palace, the wound on his forehead was not yet healed, and it was still wrapped in snow-white gauze, all the way, he couldn't help but caress his chest and gasp, and even his head was drowsy for a while, but at the moment Wei Jin couldn't care about anything.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, why are you here?" Kong Siquan had already recognized the figure of the prince, but he waited until Wei Jin walked in front of him before he stepped forward to greet him.
Wei Jin was stunned for a moment on the last somewhat ugly horse face, and asked, "Who are you?" ”
No wonder Wei Jin doesn't know Kong Siquan. Since Kong Siquan was transferred by His Majesty to his side as an errand boy, Wei Jin has been grounded, and later came to meet His Majesty a limited number of times, and Kong Siquan happened not to serve in front of His Majesty.
But Wei Jin's words still made Kong Siquan feel an offended displeasure from the bottom of his heart. He is a dignified supervisor in the palace, a celebrity in front of His Majesty, and the prince asked this question, obviously not putting himself in his eyes.
The smile on the corner of Kong Siquan's lips was put away, and he said in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the slave is the palace supervisor of the Qianyuan Palace, and he has just been transferred to serve by His Majesty. ”
Kong Siquan's explanation Wei Jin was only too late, he nodded indispensably, and said to Kong Siquan: "Supervisor Kong, please help Gu Tongyu, Gu asks to see his father." ”
Wei Jin was anxious, thinking about Chen Rong's safety, lest Chen Rong be punished by his father, so he didn't see how ugly Kong Siquan's face was when he lowered his head.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, it's not that the servants refuse to give you the gift, but that Your Majesty is inconvenient now."
It is said that the eunuch is not sound in his heart because he lacks a thing, and over time, his heart is the most narrow, which is not bad. And Kong Siquan is the best among these eunuchs, and his eyes are not as big as a needle nose.
The prince offended Kong Siquan severely, and Kong Siquan even gave the prince a big stumbling block, so he said ominously, but every word was rubbing fire on the prince's heart.
Sure enough, Wei Jin was provoked by Kong Siquan, he let out a faint "oh", his face was not happy or angry, and a pair of eyes stared at Kong Siquan gloomily: "What does Supervisor Kong mean?" Is it inconvenient for your father, or did you not put Lone in your eyes, so you didn't help Lonely report? ”
Wei Jin's anger was hidden, and his momentum was compelling. If it were someone else, under his cold eyes, I am afraid that I would not be able to stand it for a long time.
But Kong Siquan is different, he is on an errand in front of His Majesty, and the prince's intimidation is just a follow-up in Kong Siquan's heart.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the servants don't dare to deceive His Royal Highness the Prince, even if they borrow courage from the sky. It is really His Majesty's order, and the slaves dare not disobey. Kong Siquan said in a witting way. He smiled on the surface, but in his heart he had long wanted to tie the prince's villain.
"What if you insist on seeing your father?" Wei Jin's tone was cold.
Kong Siquan put away the smile on his face, and said in a businesslike tone: "Then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not blame the servants for being rude." ”
After Kong Siquan finished speaking, he glanced at the guards at the door.
Wei Jin naturally didn't miss Kong Siquan's eyes, and in anger, he kicked on Kong Siquan's body: "When does the son want to see his father, and you minions want to agree?!" You are a dog minion, you dare to separate the father and son of the heavenly family! ”
Although Wei Jin's heart was full of anger, his kick was not as ruthless as kicking Zhang Desong, and he secretly reined in his strength. Although Kong Siquan is a villain who sees the wind and steers, after all, he is his father's person, and Wei Jin does not dare to go too far.
What Wei Jin didn't expect was that Kong Si's whole body was crooked, and he fell directly to the ground, like a rolling gourd, rolling down four or five steps one after another, and then stopped, "Oops, oops" lying on the ground and not moving.
Although Wei Jin felt a little strange, he didn't care. Wei Jin looked at Kong Siquan's tragic situation, the tyrannical aura in his heart subsided slightly, he raised his eyebrows in relief, and shouted to the guards on both sides of the main hall: "Lonely to see, which of you dares to stop me!" ”
Wei Jin looked fearlessly at the scabbard blocking him, and with his arms, he lifted the two guards and pushed the door directly.
Kong Siquan squinted at Wei Jin's figure entering the hall, and sneered, his already gloomy face looked even more terrifying.
"Father! The son asks to see his father! Wei Jin walked into the main hall.
There was no emperor in the outer hall, only the palace maids and eunuchs who stayed behind, and when they saw the prince breaking in, the palace people were shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to stop them.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Your Majesty has decreed that no one is allowed to enter the palace to disturb you." Qu Linglong, the aunt in charge of the Qianyuan Palace, appeared from behind the screen, she bowed in the direction of the prince, and said without humility or arrogance.
This female official has been following her since she went to the palace, and has served His Majesty for more than 20 years, and is now over forty years old, five years older than His Majesty, and it can be said that she has grown up with her own eyes.
Wei Jin has always respected this aunt in charge, the anger between his eyebrows dropped slightly, his lips tightened into a straight line, and his tone was cold and hard: "Aunt Qu, what is the important matter of my father, I don't even have time to see me." ”
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty's thoughts are beyond the guess of a slave." Qu Linglong didn't seem to hear Wei Jinhua's sarcasm, and said calmly.
"Aunt Qu, I really have something important to ask to see my father, my aunt has watched me grow up since I was a child, won't she even help me with this little favor?" Wei Jin lowered his eyebrows, and his tone couldn't help but bring out a little loss and grievance.
The pleading meaning in the prince's tone made Qu Linglong's lips overflow with a sigh, and she said earnestly: "Your Royal Highness the prince, the slave can probably guess what you are doing to break into the palace. The slave and maid advised His Royal Highness the Prince, don't do anything, Your Royal Highness the Prince, please go back. ”
Qu Linglong said everything to this point, although her attitude was impartial on the surface, but secretly she was kind and persuasive, and she only hoped that the prince could figure it out.
But Wei Jin was destined to disappoint Qu Linglong.
"Aunt Qu, it turns out that you also know that the crown princess was placed under house arrest by Jiang Liuqu in Chengenbo Mansion." Wei Jin smiled to himself, and he said to himself: "I really don't know what is wrong with Rong'er, so that my father will target her again and again. Or is it ...... Villains are the way! ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, be cautious!" Qu Linglong frowned, and couldn't help but raise her voice. She has been immersed in the palace for many years, and her seven emotions and six desires have never been faced, and this is the first time she has broken her skills in front of people. It can only be said that this can be regarded as Wei Jin's ability.
"What is Aunt Qu afraid of! What can't you say? Wei Jin laughed a little maniacally, tears flashed in his eyes, and he roared: "This prince is too aggrieved!" ”
"If you don't want to be this prince, you can't do it!" A low, hoarse voice came from behind the screen, like thunder in the sky, and instantly exploded in Wei Jin's ears.
Although Wei Jin's words just now were a bit self-defeating, the voice in his ears was majestic and cold, like an insurmountable mountain, a deep and endless abyss, Wei Jin's heart trembled, and he instinctively gave birth to a sense of fear, and knelt on the ground with a "poof".
"Father, Father......" Wei Jin said in a trembling voice, every part of his body, including his fingertips, trembling faintly.
"So you still know that I am your father!" Wei Zhao's undulating voice was indistinguishable from joy and anger, deep and indifferent, as if it came from a distant sky.
"Father, the son knows his mistakes." Before meeting the emperor, Wei Jin had countless grievances and resentments in his heart, but when his father and emperor really appeared in front of him, Wei Jin found that he couldn't even say a word, only boundless fear and coldness from the bottom of his heart.
The emperor was furious, and the blood flowed and the pestle flowed! Wei Jin finally knew that he was scared at this moment.
"My Qianyuan Palace, is it a place where you can break into it at will?"
If this son is fighting with himself to the end, Wei Zhao can still look up to him a few points, but in the face of his cowardice, Wei Zhao can't wait to never give birth to this son, so as to save people from embarrassment!
"Father, the son is bitter." Wei Jin's handsome face had a hint of sadness, and he laughed miserably: "In the eyes of my father, has there never been a son like Erchen?!" ”
Wei Jin's head was lowered, his gaze did not dare to match his father's emperor, he only dared to fall on the floor tiles that were recognizable, so he did not see the deep chill in Wei Zhao's ink eyes.
Wei Zhao shouted in a deep voice: "You are the prince of a country, you should think twice before acting, and you should put the community first." Now you are crying and crying to make this childish attitude, do you think you are still a nursing doll? ”
Wei Zhao was disappointed in the crown prince very early.
The crown prince is already in the age of a weak crown, and he has been an adult since he married a wife. Since seven years ago, Wei Zhao has been teaching the prince to handle government affairs hand-in-hand. Gu Jiuheng and Huang Weijue are both talented people, Wei Zhao let the two of them enter the East Palace together, so that the two of them can always remind the prince, so as not to make the prince make a mistake.
But after so many years, the prince has not grown at all. Now it seems that it is clear that rotten wood cannot be carved, and the wall of dung cannot be enclosed.
"Erudite, inquisitive, thoughtful, discerning, and dedicated. This is the word I left for you on your birthday when you were ten years old. Prince, what have you done? ”
Wei Zhao's face was cold, a pair of dark eyes like a cold pool made people unable to guess their mood, and there were countless turbulent waves surging under the calm surface, and I don't know when a monstrous storm would be set off!
"Erchen knows, Erchen has disappointed his father." Wei Jin's eyes welled up with tears. If his father spoke harshly, the calmer his father's tone was, the more cold Wei Jin's heart became.
Father really ...... Never considered himself a son!
"Father, don't you like your son's mother so much? Even with your sons, you don't like it. This is what Wei Jin wanted to say a long time ago. But he didn't dare before, but now under impulse, this question blurted out.
The chill in Wei Zhaomo's eyes flashed. He had never understood what this son was thinking. A prince who is obsessed with the love of his children, if he is the emperor, Daye will really do his best.
Wei Zhao glanced at his eldest son deeply, and his tone was calm: "Prince, whether I like you or not, you are the prince." ”
"Father, why are you avoiding it?" Wei Jin pinched his palm fiercely, he raised his eyes, his gaze met the emperor's cold ink eyes, as if he was on the edge of the abyss, and shivered.
But Wei Jin still relied on his courage to hold on, and he said self-deprecatingly: "Although I am the crown prince, but my mother, she is the princess of Yong until she dies, doesn't my father think it's ridiculous?" ”
