Chapter 22: The Grievances of the Four Princes
The fourth prince never thought that the prince's brother would reject him.
It's just to play with His Royal Highness Ye Rong of the Jin Kingdom, why didn't the prince's brother agree?
In the past, when I was in the capital, I didn't just say that I would go to spring hunting and autumn hunting, and I didn't even say anything to my father.
I ran out in a fit of rage just now, and now I don't know where to go......
The fourth prince wandered the street for a long time, and unconsciously walked to the door of Shuofeng Tower, and stepped in without saying a word.
Shen Wenjiang was playing a small game of rope flipping with Yanqiu at that time, and when he looked up, he saw the four princes walking in with a dejected face.
"Why is Your Highness here? Are you alone? As he spoke, he asked Yanqiu to make tea quickly.
The fourth prince pouted, only to feel very aggrieved, and when he saw Shen Wenjiang, he was like seeing a relative, so he immediately rushed over, hugged her arm and said, "Sister Shen, you come to comment, why don't the prince's brother and third brother let me play with His Royal Highness Ye Rong?" Isn't it just to go on a cruise, hunt, and call more guards to follow, where it will not be safe? ”
Shen Wenjiang couldn't help but want to laugh when he heard this.
What she thought was such a big deal, it turned out to be such a small matter.
Presumably, the prince and the prince did not let him go out alone with His Royal Highness Ye Rong in order to avoid extraneous branches.
After all, it was because the two of them went to the banquet of Prince Mutuo that they caused such a big trouble. If something happens again this time, the prince can't bear the responsibility.
It's better to have more than one thing, that's why he won't be allowed to go.
But the fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy is the age of playfulness and activity, how can he be restrained?
Now that a person like him is running out, it's actually not safe.
"You, don't blame the prince and the prince, they really love you, and they are worried about you so they won't let you run around. Last time, His Royal Highness Ye Rong pointed out that you killed Prince Mu Tuo, and you forgot about it so quickly? Shen Wenjiang withdrew his arm without a trace.
This kid can't even care about whether men and women give or don't kiss.
"It was just an accident. Besides, His Royal Highness Ye Rong has already apologized to me, and I have forgiven him, we are still good friends. He is also about to return to Jinguo, and it will be rare to see each other again in the future, and it is better to play together before leaving, alas, they don't understand me too much. ”
The fourth prince sighed, looking at Shen Wenjiang pitifully like a little milk dog, "Sister Shen, you can help, go and talk to the third brother, the third brother will definitely listen to you." ”
"Oh, why would the prince listen to me?"
"Because you have a point."
Shen Wenjiang smiled again.
I have to admit that some of this kid's words please her.
"Then I'll give it a try. I'll go to see the prince early tomorrow morning, and I'll talk to you when I have the chance. ”
"You're going to see the prince's brother?"
"Hmm." Shen Wenjiang nodded, "It's too rude not to visit the prince when you come to Shuofeng Island." When my dad found out, he would scold me. ”
"Sister Shen is also afraid of your father?"
"yes. Fourth Highness, could it be—"
"Uh-huh." The fourth prince nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "Alas, my emperor father, it's really hard to say." Don't hide it from Sister Shen, the person I am most afraid of in the world is him, every time he sees me, he scolds me, and I can't wait to see him for the rest of my life. ”
Such childish words, Shen Wenjiang hadn't heard of them for a long time.
His Majesty is only forty years old, but he has eight sons and eight daughters, and he can be described as a prosperous heir.
The wind and flow of the Great Qian Emperor are known all over the world.
There are no less than 100 concubines in the harem alone, not to mention those palace maids and maidservants who are occasionally pampered by him and have no records.
Can you imagine how dangerous and tragic the battle in the harem is?
Although Concubine Hui, the biological mother of the fourth prince, and Mrs. Zhennanhou are of the same lineage, they are not a big family, but they are just the daughters of a family surnamed Li in remote prefectures and counties in the southwest, and they have no foundation in the court.
Concubine Hui is gentle by nature, does not like to fight, and relied on the credit of blocking arrows for His Majesty and giving birth to the prince in her early years to seal the concubine position, but with the entry of young and beautiful women into the palace again and again, her grace has long been gone.
The emperor is quite kind, although he no longer favors her, but he also gives her the respect and decency she deserves, plus she has been low and small in front of the queen over the years, and there is the Zhennan Hou Mansion outside, and the life of the mother and son is quite stable.
Of course, the queen was willing to accommodate their mother and son, because her son was not a threat to her son's crown prince. Rather than letting someone else take the position, it is better to keep her in the position.
If necessary, she can also block her son.
Among the many princes, the four princes are the most inferior one, the worst in learning, the last in martial arts, but they linger in the market such as cockfighting, listening to music and watching plays, and often sneak out of the palace, and it is common to play for three or five days to return to the palace.
Of course, the emperor did not like such a son.
Shen Wenjiang knew that he was by no means pretending, but was really such a second-year teenager......
Until the Battle of Shuofeng Island, and then the Zhennan Hou Mansion lost power, and Concubine Hui was beaten into the cold palace.
It seems that overnight, this kid has grown up......
"Sister Shen, then I'll stay with you tonight, and I'll go back with you tomorrow morning."
The words of the fourth prince pulled her back to reality.
Shen Wenjiang glanced at him, "No." I'll have dinner and I'll ask Feilin to take you back. ”
"No, Sister Shen. Anyway, you have so many rooms here, what's wrong with letting me stay overnight? You have to frighten them, lest they make His Highness angry in the future. ”
"You're such a kid." Shen Wenjiang laughed angrily at him.
"Sister Shen, you agreed, okay?" The fourth prince continued to grind her.
Shen Wenjiang was so entangled that he couldn't do it, and was about to respond, when he suddenly saw a figure flash at the door of the weeping flower, and someone strode in.
Xu was in a hurry when she went out, Ji Nancheng forgot to put on a mask, and that clear and handsome face suddenly broke into her sight.
Shen Wenjiang was stunned.
The fourth prince had already jumped up, ran to Ji Nancheng in three or two steps, and exclaimed: "Ah-third brother, you are here." How did you know I was here? ”
Ji Nancheng greeted him with a dark face, "What's the matter with you?" is such a big person, and he still plays a child's temper and runs away from home, do you really think I dare not punish you? ”
The fourth prince put his arm around his shoulders and pretended to be pitiful, "Third brother, you don't know, the prince's brother is murderous to me, he has never murdered me before, I am sad and sad." Third brother, you also murder me, you don't love me anymore, just like your father. ”
As he spoke, he deliberately raised his sleeve and wiped a tear that was squeezed out of the corner of his eye.
Seeing this, Ji Nancheng had no choice but to sigh and pull his arm off his shoulder, "You, don't always talk about Your Majesty." Your Majesty actually loves you, and you should fight for it yourself, don't make him angry every time. ”
"I didn't mess with him. But every time he sees me, he tests my homework, third brother, you know, I hate those scriptures and histories the most, it's too boring. As soon as I couldn't answer, he got angry, but it wasn't me who provoked him, it was he who provoked me. ”
This kid is a real one, chatter.
Ji Nancheng didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and pulled him forward, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry to disturb Miss Shen, I'll take him back." ”
Shen Wenjiang still looked at him in a daze, forgetting his words.
After so many years, she was finally able to see him up close and see him clearly.
It's not a dream, it's a reality.
