Zhu Chengqian came back to his senses and said with a smile: "It's you who made a fuss, even if Princess Min has the intention to seduce the emperor, will the emperor be easily shaken?" This was all more than 20 years ago, she is now a half-old, even if the charm still exists, she is not as young and beautiful as the palace concubine, and the concubine can easily pull the emperor's heart back with a flick of her fingers. ”

Yang glanced at her husband: "You just don't want to listen to me, I see that you have been looking out of the door, who are you looking forward to?" ”

As soon as the words fell, a maidservant outside the door said that the third son had come back and came to say good night to the old lady.

Yang saw that her husband's face brightened, and he was really looking forward to seeing his precious son, and his heart suddenly cooled.

The wives of other people's families, in case of concubines competing for favor, a room of aunts and aunts have a headache, and they have to pay attention to whether their husbands have an outer room, or simply ignore it, and indulge in looking for flowers and willows.

But what about her, she has been competing for favor with a dead woman and a wild seed for favor all her life.

Even if Zhu Chengqian was thinking about another woman who was still alive, she also recognized it, but in this world, the person he cared about the most couldn't even rank his own mother, only his son, the wild seed born by the woman who lived in his heart.

"I've changed my clothes, it's inconvenient to see each other, so go see your son elsewhere." Yang said coldly, "Ask your son carefully, why do you take women all over the world in the middle of the night, today in the paddock, I don't listen to gossip, we wish the family, it's really decent enough." ”

"You rest first, I'll come when I go." Zhu Chengqian got up and said, "This matter, as well as those troubles in the second room, I will try to solve them, so you don't have to worry about it." ”

Yang sneered: "I don't care about it either, but I also advise the master to divide the family as soon as possible, otherwise someone will compete for your precious son's future, but it will be too late." ”

Zhu Chengqian smiled faintly: "I can live for a few years, not to." ”

Yang turned his face away, but her husband didn't go out, but got closer to her, and coaxed her in a good-natured manner: "Who made you angry again, I said the wrong thing?" ”

"Don't, it's important for the master to go to see his son." Yang sneered, "How could you say the wrong thing, it's just that I'm stingy." ”

Zhu Chengqian turned around and ordered loudly: "My wife and I have fallen asleep, and I will come back tomorrow morning." ”

Yang said unwillingly: "Why should you wronged yourself, you stay with me, but you hate me and annoy me in your heart, why did I come here?" ”

Zhu Chengqian walked back with a smile, his eyes full of gentleness and tolerance: "If you lose your temper again, you lose your temper once, there is one more line at the corner of your eyes, and you can't make up for it no matter how much you eat bird's nest." ”

He reached out and stroked his wife's cheek: "I'm not going anywhere, just guard you, we'll be fine." ”

Yang gently opened her husband's hand, her momentum had weakened by seven or eight points, she opened it and grabbed it in her hand without letting go, and asked aggrievedly: "Am I really old?" I'm not a few years older than Min Cheng, but when I look at her today, it's ten years behind. I'm heartbroken for you and this family, but you're so ruthless......"

Outside the bedroom, Zhu Rong left quietly, passing by his brother's house, and seeing that the lights were still on, he walked over to take a look.

Under the lights in the room, Ping Jue held the book and recited it silently, engrossed and very serious.

Zhu Rong came quietly and took away the book in his hand, Ping Jue was stunned, and when he saw that it was his brother, he smiled.

In a few days, my younger brother has changed a lot, not to mention seeing flesh on his body, his eyes have a light, and books have given him a broader world, and he is no longer surrounded by walls and endless medicine.

"Reading at night is bad for your eyes, you are growing your body, and it is difficult to get your eyes good if they are broken." Zhu Rong Haosheng said, "Even my brothers, when I was a child, I rarely held lamps and candles, and it was good to work hard during the day." ”

Ping Jue looked proud: "Brother, I have already memorized it, it's good for me to recite it to you." ”

Zhu Rong shook his head and said, "I won't listen tonight, my brother is tired and panicked, and I will go to Qingqiu Pavilion tomorrow to carry it to your husband." ”

Ping Jue was led to the bed by his brother, and said: "I am nervous about reciting in front of Sister Yan, Sister Yan is so gentle and kind, but she is very strict in the study." She loves the third sister and the fourth sister so much, but if the sisters can't recite the book, they will still be punished to stand under the eaves. I always thought that my sisters were just going to the study to play, to relieve boredom, but I was wrong. ”

Zhu Rong has never seen Fuyi's stern appearance, but a few little girls were lazy and punished, and they were also trained by their grandmothers, he knew that Fuyi was serious about teaching, never to show it to anyone, but only for the good of his sisters. But in addition to teaching, she loves every younger brother and sister, and she is also the best sister.

Ping Jue crawled into the quilt neatly, no longer like before, his face was sluggish, waiting for everyone to do everything, and after lying down, he said: "Brother, I like Sister Yan, one day I want to be like Sister Yan, well-read and omniscient." ”

"Sleep, don't delay tomorrow's class." Zhu Rong said, "In a few days, you will be in better health, my fourth brother and I will take you to ride a horse, and my father said, choose a foal for you, and you can raise it yourself." ”

Ping Jue sat up and asked excitedly, "Really?" Brother, really? ”

Zhu Rong pointed solemnly: "Hurry up and lie down Who, if you don't obey, there will be no foal." ”

Ping Jue was still thinking about one thing, and asked: "The nurse told me that Sister Yan will only stay at my house for a year, and she will leave at the beginning of spring next year." Brother, Sister Yan is gone, who will teach me to read? ”

Zhu Rong touched his younger brother's head, asked him to close his eyes, and responded: "Brother doesn't know, next time I see grandma, you ask grandma." ”

When he left Xinghua Hall, the entire Duke's Palace was silent, and everywhere he went, it was silent.

Zhu Rong was full of tiredness, remembering that he had promised to take good care of his body, so he put down the unresolved matter, returned to the small courtyard, and went to bed early.

However, the next morning, the morning light was slightly dewed, and he was still in a dream, so he was woken up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the eldest brother standing by the bed, and quickly sat up.

Zhu Pingluo stood with his hands in his hands and glared at his younger brother: "I'm standing here, are you sitting on the bed?" Do you still have to serve the third son to wash up and have breakfast? ”

Zhu Rong hurriedly got up, but his brother was worried about him, so he grabbed two pieces of clothes and threw them over: "Put it on, it's still very cold in the morning and evening." ”

Ping Luo walked around his brother's room, and when he saw that Zhu Rong was dressed, he asked: "Tell me honestly, what's going on with your second brother, where are you hiding the woman he raised?" ”

Zhu Rong smiled and said, "You just go and ask the second brother, ask me how many more bends I have to take, what can I know?" ”

Because he was busy with the emperor's hunting, this matter has dragged on for two days, where does Ping Luo still have the patience to joke with his younger brother, and glared at him without anger, there is no need to say anything, the momentum is there.

Zhu Rong's majesty in front of Ping Jue last night was gone, and he respectfully invited his brother to sit down, stood aside and said, "If the second brother doesn't say it, if I say it, it will be a betrayal of him." Big brother, why don't the three of us make it clear face to face? ”

Ping Luo smiled: "The three of you are together in person, and the two of you make your eyes flutter and coax me around?" ”

Zhu Rong hurriedly said: "Where do you dare, have we eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall?" ”

"Why don't you eat the bear's heart and leopard gall, it's already bigger than the sky." Ping Luo said angrily, "Knowing that your second uncle cares most about reputation and decency, and poking him in the lungs, do you know what Ping Rui said to his father and turned against him." ”

Zhu Rong sat down, poured tea and drank it, and said disapprerovingly: "Could it be that my brother doesn't want to say those words?" ”

"Bastard!" Ping Luo snatched the teacup and slapped it on the table, "You don't say yes, do you?" ”

Although Zhu Rong is not afraid of his eldest brother, he has been obedient to his brother since he was a child, and he does not dare to be easily disobedient, and he understands better in his heart that the eldest brother will not turn around and betray him and the second brother to complain to the second uncle.

He cleared his throat and said: "It's a girl from an opera troupe, and when the second brother was still the main bookkeeper, he left Beijing to buy and picked up the dying man on the side of the road......"

Ping Luo's head swelled when he heard this: "Now your second uncle thinks that it was you who picked up Ping Rui to set up a house outside to raise women, and he has always disliked you, you know." ”

Zhu Rong nodded solemnly: "Yes, but in this matter, even if I anger the second uncle, I will still stand on the side of the second brother." You know, the whole family will oppose him, even grandma won't help him, I can't let the second brother face it alone. “

Ping Luo smiled helplessly and shook his head: "Then what can you do, hide that woman and hide it for the rest of your life?" ”

Zhu Rong said: "Grandma means that from now on, she will be kept outside and will not say anything to her family, just like in the past two years." But this can't last long, and I'm even more sorry for the girl who will marry the second brother in the future, the second brother is unwilling, so even the old lady is frozen, let alone the second uncle. ”

Ping Luo frowned: "He is determined to marry that woman, even if he gives up his future career?" ”

Zhu Rong nodded: "At least, that's what he said to me." ”
