Chapter 376
After Qi Jingyang returned to the palace of King Song, he still borrowed wine every day to drown his sorrows, Rongfu and Kongyan knew what was going on, so they didn't dare to stop it, let Qi Jingyang, the master, drink and make trouble, even if this is not the prince, the life has to be lived, right? Now he is not allowed to participate in politics, he is not in the imperial court but he is also a prince, he will receive it, and he will take the welfare, and he still has to have the power and scene that he should have, Qi Jingyang feels bored, and he has a lot of time to squander every day, and Rongfu and Kongyan are not stopped.
Now Qi Jingyang is drinking wine, fortunately, he is not like in the past, if there is any bitterness in his heart, he is spilling things, now he is just drinking in An'an, after all, there is nothing to do, so he went with him, Qi Jingyang is not willing to pick, in the past, he was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who did not drink non-agar syrup and jade liquid, but now he drinks wine, and he is not on an errand in the court.
Lu Fushuang and Lu Huiling didn't leave him money, in the past, Qi Jingyang did some shady transactions in private, and he also earned a lot of silver, but who would have thought that it would fall to this point now?
Qi Jingyang grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth, can't the crown prince take advantage of him with the best in front of him?
But the world is cold, the people's hearts are cold and warm, Qi Jingyang is now out of power, don't think about the past anymore, if the palace is able to use his entire palace is enough, don't dare to think about anything else, besides, now the treasury is empty, although this is related to the disasters and difficulties this year, the plague court and the royal family have also posted a lot of silver, plus now the plank roads are blocked, the business outside the merchants can not be circulated, and the taxes paid will also be less.
At this juncture, the imperial court did not dare to increase taxes easily, so they could only tighten their belts and endure it, and it was good that they did not deduct Qi Jingyang's monthly money.
In the past, there was no moderation in spending money, and the emperor said that he wanted to be thrifty, and he wanted to reduce most of the royal expenses, but what is Qi Jingyang's identity, in the past, he only had to stretch out his hand, and someone rushed to send what he wanted.
If you say that you don't miss the past, it's all fake, from ancient times to the present, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, and now Qi Jingyang has no power and no power, only the empty name of the prince of Song, no one will be in the guise of him, and some shady businesses will naturally stop, and the money given by the court is only enough for them to live, and nothing else can be done at all.
In addition, now that Qi Jingqin is in power, it was still like this when the emperor was there, but if the emperor was gone, after Qi Jingqin ascended the throne, he didn't know how he would squeeze them.
Rongfu and Kongyan are bargaining for these things in private, and they don't dare to say it to Qi Jingyang, even if they say it, it's useless, he is a golden prince who was born as a prince, how can he know these things, and it will be annoying to say it.
Rongfu and Kongyan can't close so many things at the moment, but they just think that now that they have reached this point, they will live a good life, there are still some elders in the clan, and there are still some former teachers and adults who have been favored by Lu Gaohong in the court, although they don't explain what to help now, it is useless for anyone to come in this situation, and they still have to rely on themselves when the time comes.
Rongfu knew about this relationship, so he thought about making some preparations for Qi Jingqin when he was officially going to embarrass the prince of Song, lest the palace of the prince of Song was really difficult to move an inch and couldn't open the pot, this was a big joke, although he was not the prince now, but the things he had when he was the prince were still there, and there was no shortage of money or anything for the time being, mainly because Qi Jingyang's current appearance was very distressing.
When Rongfu and Kongyan saw Qi Jingyang like this, they were also very anxious, and they didn't want to see the prince slump here, but what can they do now?
His Royal Highness the Prince, who is held by everyone on weekdays, has suddenly become the prince of Chung who everyone walks around, this is unbearable for anyone, Qi Jingyang does not cry, does not make trouble, and does not lose his temper, Rongfu and Kongyan know that he is depressed in his heart, so he also thinks that after this period of time, it must be better, and time is not the best medicine to treat mental problems?
Rongfu and Kongyan have no better way, so they can only wait first, and want to accompany the prince to get through this time, and then the next thing can only be resigned to fate, and take one step at a time.
But seeing that it has been a few days, since the holy decree was obtained on March 19, Rongfu and Kongyan followed Qi Jingyang back to the palace of King Xiang and never came out again, Qi Jingyang has been drinking, they don't dare to stop it, knowing that he is uncomfortable, if there is a place to vent for a while, it would be good, Qi Jingyang will not be willing to tell them the bitterness in his heart, only willing to sit in the mourning hall and speak to Zhao Peiyu's tablet, Zhao Peiyu was alive in the past, and he has been by his side for more than eight years. I haven't necessarily talked as much as I have said these days.
"You haven't been back to Shuzhong for eight years, I heard that ...... The people of Shuzhong love to eat spicy, but the people here in the Central Plains eat relatively lightly, and the diet in the palace is even more delicate and delicious, and the rules do not allow us to eat with snot and tears, which is not in accordance with the rules...... You just endured it for eight years......" Qi Jingyang knelt in front of Zhao Peiyu's tablet, leaning on the incense case, holding a pot of wine in his hand, and the empty wine jug at his feet, his face was flushed, and his forehead was bruised, but he just kept drinking.
"I'm sorry for you, Peiyu." Qi Jingyang said this drunkenly, "I didn't think you were good before, but I didn't hate you very much...... I...... I'm just angry that my father and uncle want me to force me to marry when my mother's mourning period is not yet complete, knowing that my mother has just died......"
"Later, I also learned that they were all for my good, you...... I didn't even know that you had paid so much for me, if it weren't for you and the king of Shuzhong, I wouldn't have been the crown prince a long time ago......"
"Pei Yu, you haven't officially met my mother, but you should be able to recognize it, I look very similar to her, when you get there, you go to your uncle, uncle should be with the queen mother, they have depended on each other since childhood, until the title of the uncle's gold list, the queen mother was able to marry her father, she was also the crown princess in the past. She's going to love you. ”
"You have been by my side for eight years, you may not know it, in fact, those ladies in the room are all used by me to anger you...... I just want to be angry with you, I want to force you to go by yourself, this was the idea from the beginning, but I never thought that you would really leave, and once you left, you will never come back......"
"Those who have been by my side, except for relatives who are related by blood, the rest ...... I know exactly what they're thinking, but you're different, how did I know that now......"
"You're not stupid...... Why didn't I realize you weren't stupid...... It would have been easy for you to get something out of me, but you didn't...... I didn't even think about it, so why didn't I find out about it at the time......"
"If I knew all this when you married into the East Palace, how good it would be...... Why didn't you tell me then? ”
Qi Jingyang kept sitting in front of Zhao Peiyu's tablet and kept talking, and kept telling Zhao Peiyu how much he regretted it in his heart, that is, when his uncle and mother died, he didn't have such a sad and regretful emotion in his heart, and he always owed Zhao Peiyu.
At the beginning, the promise was made by herself, Zhao Peiyu did something wrong, when the emperor gave marriage, she kept her promise to marry into the East Palace, there are so many young ladies in the palace of Shuzhong, no one wants to leave the house, as long as you pick a woman of the right age at will, the princess is not the princess, they are not rare, where will Shuzhong be more comfortable?
The county lords of the king of Shuzhong have not been to the Central Plains for many times in their lives, and they only know that Shuzhong is a paradise on earth for them, and they are helpless after going to the capital, even if they are the princess of the East Palace, what if they are the queens in the future?
After all, it's good that they didn't come by their parents' side, they are all pampered and arrogant county lords, they have not suffered any grievances since they were children, and they can't suffer any losses, even Qi Wangshu and them are comparable, in Shuzhong they are like princesses, and when they go to Beijing to send people under the fence, the customs and habits are not the same, and they haven't seen what the prince looks like.
The daughters of the Zhao family are all straightforward, and the king of Shuzhong, who was born in the military, is also straightforward enough to educate his daughter, and the princess is also a bold woman, who has always taught the county lord in the mansion, and must marry a good man who likes to give him happiness, if he doesn't meet that person, it is worth not marrying for the rest of his life.
Zhao Peiyu is the lord of Changjun, and this kind of thinking is even more deep-rooted, at the time of Shuzhong, there are also many people who go to the palace of Shuzhong to ask for relatives, but Zhao Peiyu can't look down on any of them, either because he looks ugly, or that person is not tall, or both are good, and he can't eat together, Zhao Peiyu doesn't want to be with him, those sons and brothers who come to ask for marriage, which one is not from a solid family, but Zhao Peiyu can't look down on these, I always thought about the first man who said he wanted to marry her when he was a child.
Until that holy decree came all the way from Shangjing, none of the sisters in the family wanted to go so far to marry the prince who had never seen before, at this time, Zhao Peiyu stood up, just by virtue of having a relationship with the prince when he was a child, he thought that marrying the prince would be happy.
Everyone sent her to the East Palace Prince's Mansion in the Imperial City of Shangjing, Zhao Peiyu went to a hell with full joy, and then she knew that His Royal Highness the Prince, who was as gentle as jade in his childhood, had become so violent, Zhao Peiyu used to be Liang Huanqing's general temperament, straightforward and lively, that is, he didn't want to cause trouble for his family after arriving at the East Palace, so he kept the rules of the palace.
Qi Jingyang only now understands it, and now he knows why Zhao Peiyu wants to marry him......
Qi Jingyang drank too much and couldn't support his body, so he fell to the ground, and the wine jug in his hand also poured, his brain was a little dizzy, his vision began to blur, and slowly he could only see a figure walking towards him, he thought it was Zhao Peiyu, so he reached out and grabbed the other party, took "her" into his arms, hugged it tightly, and whispered: "I miss you so much...... You're finally here......"
The "Zhao Peiyu" in his arms struggled slightly, but Qi Jingyang hugged him very tightly, and he didn't want to let go of anything, and unconsciously, Qi Jingyang fell asleep.
————————————————
When Qi Jingyang was asleep, his hand was still tightly grasping the sleeve of "Zhao Peiyu", only knowing that it was not easy to see Zhao Peiyu again, and when he woke up, he still wanted to see her.
I don't know where I went with Zhao Peiyu in my dream, it was full of snowflakes, and the red plums of Layue were also fluttering with the wind, Zhao Peiyu was dressed in a red dress, just like the wedding dress she wore when she married into the East Palace.
Zhao Peiyu's hair was full of snowflakes, she was happily playing and dancing in the plum blossoms, turning in circles freely, Qi Jingyang watched from afar, wanted to get closer, but couldn't get past her, desperately called her name, but couldn't make a sound, watching the snow fall bigger and bigger, Qi Jingyang's vision became more and more blurred, and Zhao Peiyu's figure was getting farther and farther away from him, until he couldn't see it anymore......
"Lord Wang...... Rajah? Rongfu stood beside the bed and kept shouting.
"Father-in-law...... You'd better wake up the prince soon...... I...... I can't even hold it anymore......"
Rong Fu looked at the empty rock in Qi Jingyang's arms, and also glanced at him unhappily, and whispered: "Let you go and see the prince, what's the ...... Why are they hugging each other? ”
After finishing speaking, Rong Fu sighed inexplicably, and then slapped Kong Yan's back and said, "You move a little quietly, don't surprise the prince!" ”
Kong Yan could only lie on the bed aggrieved, his upper body was tightly hugged by Oh Chung Wang Ye and couldn't move, Kong Yan didn't dare to press him, and his lower body hung out, but he was tired of his waist, and he insisted on it for so long, as if he was going to die.
They were talking next to Qi Jingyang, Qi Jingyang was naturally woken up like this, he was drunk just now, and as soon as he woke up, it was night, Qi Jingyang raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, and was about to speak, suddenly! Finding that there was someone in his arms, he looked down and took a closer look, Kong Yan was half-lying in his arms, and when he saw that he was awake, he smiled awkwardly at himself.
"What are you doing!" Qi Jingyang's wine woke up all of a sudden, he swore to assure that this must be the most sober day in these days, he hurriedly pushed the empty rock away, the empty rock couldn't support it, and he fell to the ground in a hurry, Qi Jingyang pointed to the empty rock grinning on the ground and said, "What do you want to do!" ”
Then I didn't know why, I looked down at my clothes, and when I saw that my clothes were complete, I didn't know why I was relieved.
Kong Yan lay on the ground, rubbed his waist aggrievedly, and said, "The prince is wronged...... It's you...... As soon as I saw the slave in the mourning hall, I pulled the slave and said that I missed the slave...... The minion doesn't know what's going on, so you're drunk......"
"Shut up!" Qi Jingyang didn't remember what happened at that time, he only felt a little impression, but how could this kind of thing be said, Qi Jingyang had nothing to do, and pointed at Kong Yan with a red face and scolded: "This king doesn't treat you badly on weekdays, how can you do such a thing, even if the princess dies, it won't be your turn!" You...... Get the hell out of here! ”
