King Rui and his entourage entered Yambaru Castle and came to the former palace. The original king was already waiting in front of the palace.

King Rui turned over and dismounted, looking at his younger brother, who was almost equal to him, his eyes were slightly hot. When he went to Tongguan that year, his younger brother was still a young boy. Now that he is weak, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, he seems to be a noble prince.

The original king took a few steps and hugged his compatriot brother, choked up and said: "The border is bitter cold, how is everything okay brother?" ”

King Rui opened his arms, hugged his younger brother tightly, patted him on the back and said, "Brother eats and sleeps well, very well!" Is the Queen Mother good? ”

Yuan Wang said: "Brother is really ruthless! After a few years, he will not return to Beijing. The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother are always talking about their brothers. The father and emperor dictated that after the elder brother's sacrifice, he returned to Beijing to report on his work. ”

King Rui let go of his arms, beat King Yuan's chest, and said, "In this way, my brother will return to Beijing to meet the Queen Mother." How is my father's health? ”

The original king invited King Rui into the palace and whispered: "My father was seriously injured ten years ago, and his energy has been low. Most of the state affairs are on the shoulders of the prince's brother. ”

King Rui sneered: "Isn't that great? Make the best use of your talents and make the best use of your resources. ”

Yuan Wang couldn't answer, so he changed the topic and said: "The elder brother's courtyard is Feng Mingwan, next to the younger brother's courtyard." The courtyard is only a three-span courtyard, which may not be very wide. It's just close to the younger brother, and there is a school field behind the yard, which is convenient for the elder brother to run horses. Can? ”

King Rui said indifferently, "Why not?" As a brother, I just want to get together with my third brother. Who live in those courtyards? ”

Yuan Wang said: "Brother Prince, Princess, Princess, Princess, and Sister are all here." In addition, the guards of various prefectures, palace people, and inner servants are not a small number. All stay in the younger brother's palace. ”

King Rui raised his eyebrows casually: "The crown prince and princess occupy a courtyard respectively?" ”

Yuan Wang said: "Brother doesn't know. The prince's brother and the princess's mother have always been in different hospitals. In the East Palace, the courtyard of the prince's brother and the princess's mother is far apart. ”

King Rui stopped, looked at the original king, and said, "Third brother, what do you want to say?" Want to say that the prince is not willing to marry that Li Xu? What's the point? Who he failed has nothing to do with us. Just for the ...... It's not worth it! ”

The original king did not dare to continue. His two brothers, one of whom is a prince, although he is gentle and elegant, but his mind is unpredictable; A man with a heavy army, although he is heroic and straightforward, he is too heavy on the old feelings. The relationship between the two is like fire and water, or to be precise, King Rui regards the prince as fire and water. He is an idle prince, although he also has complaints about the prince, he can't add fuel to the fire and damage the relationship between the two brothers.

The original king had to be silent and did not say a word.

In front, a group of palace maids surrounded the two of them, but it was the crown prince and the crown princess. When he got closer, the prince hurriedly stepped forward, and did not let King Rui salute, grabbed his hand and said, "The second brother has been reduced!" But the border is bitterly cold? ”

King Rui smiled faintly and said: "The prince shoulders the social responsibility and has the world in mind, and it is hard work. Xiao Wang lives in a corner, what is the hard work! ”

The crown princess smiled and said, "King Rui has come from afar, come into the house and wash." The main palace has arranged for the palace people to prepare soup. King Wise, please! ”

King Rui didn't look at her, broke away from the prince's hand, and arched his hand: "The prince is at his own convenience, the little king is full of dust, I'm afraid I will lose my etiquette, so I'll go first." ”

After speaking, he pulled the original king over and shouted: "Don't lead the way yet!" His own palace should be arranged by outsiders. The more you live, the more you go back. ”

The crown princess's face stiffened slightly, and then she said gently: "This palace ......"

Before the words were spoken, King Rui had already strode away.

The prince shook his head with a wry smile, and said to the crown princess in a warm voice: "The second brother has always been like this, and the crown princess doesn't care. "Turned around and left. The crown princess stayed where she was, her silver teeth crushed.

The original king followed behind King Rui and said, "My brother has a good life to rest, and the younger brother arranged a banquet in the evening to wash the dust for my brother." also let the rest of the people get acquainted with the elder brother. ”

King Rui frowned and said, "What kind of bull ghost snake god, don't you see it." ”

The original king pleaded: "Brother! ”

King Rui turned around and sighed: "That's it, the third brother's face will be given in the end!" It's up to you! ”

The original king settled the Rui king, and wandered in the palace garden with a heavy heart. But seeing the flowers, the grass and trees are sparse, and the weather in early summer is not too stuffy, the original king walked and walked unconsciously to a beautiful courtyard gate, but saw the prince with his hands behind him, and the father-in-law was behind him, and he was accompanying him to look up at the lintel.

The original king paused, neither advancing nor retreating. This courtyard is the courtyard of Qi Xi back then, when the original palace was rebuilt, the current queen, the mother of the original Wang Rui Wang, specially ordered to stay, as a memory.

Speaking of which, although Qi Xi was an adopted daughter, Mrs. Qi had no daughter at that time, Qi Xi came to Qi's house at the age of two, and Mrs. Qi raised her with her own hands, and the two were like mother and daughter. What's more, in the battle of Niangziguan, Qi Xi fought desperately with the 70,000 women's army, protecting the family, which is unforgettable. So to this day, the queen still misses her.

On the contrary, for the crown princess, it is just for the sake of the Li family's humerus that it is now the court humerus, and it is just passable on the face.

The footsteps of the original king alarmed Gonggong Quan, and he turned around to see that it was the original king, and quietly saluted and signaled silence.

The prince's back is bleak, and the early summer sun does not add yang, which contrasts with the prince under the shade of the tree.

"If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place." The original king was suddenly startled by the thought in his heart.

He waved his hand at Gonggong Quan, quietly preparing to avoid it.

The prince suddenly asked in an astringent voice, "Third brother, is Lone wrong?" ”

The original king had no choice but to stand up quickly, straighten up, and hesitate and whispered, "I've seen the prince's brother." After a pause, seeing that the prince had nothing to say, he arched his hand and said: "Brother Prince, my brother is going to see how the court banquet is arranged, I wonder if Brother Prince can serve a small pot of wine?" ”

As soon as the words came out, the original king wanted to slap himself. It's really the pot that doesn't open the pot.

The prince turned around, looked at the original king steadily, and said with a wry smile after a while: "Still, it's not up, right?" ”

The original king hurriedly responded, and said in a messy voice: "Brother Chen, retire, go and see Brother Zirui...... Oh no, let's see what's left at the feast......"

He saluted, turned and walked away, almost tripped over himself.

The crown prince stood still with his hands in his hands, his eyes chasing the back of the original king and was silent.

After a long time, he said to the right public: "The original king has a weak crown, do you have a favorite woman?" ”

Gonggong Quan bowed down and said with a smile: "This, the old slave doesn't know. I know that there are many ladies in the capital who like the original king. ”

The prince said, "Oh? Then you have to pick and choose. Regardless of the family, the first important thing is to ask the third brother to like it. He shouldn't have gone against his will......"

Father-in-law Kwon responded with uh-huh. But in his heart, he was like a mirror, and the prince was lamenting that he couldn't do what he wanted.

Since the establishment of the Great Xia Dynasty, Gonggong Quan has always followed the crown prince. The crown prince and the crown princess look like each other, and the father-in-law knows best. But the crown princess was born in the Li family, and the Li family has always been the leader of the heavenly people, whether it is the old ministers and the new nobles in the court, except for the military generals, the literati all look to Li Mingde. Military generals established the dynasty, and civil ministers ruled the country. Not long after the founding of Great Xia, it was even less recognized by the people of the world. These literati have to rely on the civil servants to criticize and write at every turn, and the world returns to the heart.
