Chapter 118: Heaven Needs Me
Zhou Jingxuan turned his head dissatisfied: People still want to feed it to the mouth of the third prince? Now you've been spoiled!
The fourth prince stared at Zhou Jingxuan for a long time, and then he opened his mouth and asked the doubts in his heart: "Where have we met?" “
Zhou Jingxuan, who covered his face with half of his hair, smirked at the fourth prince again, and then turned his head and ignored him:
Hum! I used to think he was really kind-hearted! I didn't expect that for my fellow brothers, he was also an indifferent and selfish master.
If it weren't for the emperor Lao'er summoning him, the princes would be afraid of others gossiping, and I am afraid they would not have come to Xiyuan to show their goodness at this time?
The third prince pursed his lips and interrupted Zhou Jingxuan's thoughts: "All fools in the world look the same, and the fourth emperor brother looks familiar, it's normal!"
The fourth prince looked at it carefully for a while, and said to himself, "Why is it so similar? Looks like I recognized the wrong person. “
The eldest prince answered: "There are many similar people in the world, but the fourth emperor brother is rare and strange!" “
The fourth prince nodded and smiled: "The eldest brother is right."
When several people saw Zhou Jingxuan and the two brothers, they were eating happily on the side, and after sitting for a while, they all got up and left.
When leaving, the fourth prince ordered someone to send a few taels of silver to Xiao Heizi for him to use for Xiyuan's expenses.
Immediately with the eldest prince, he bowed his hand to Zhou Jingxuan and the brothers, and then left.
As soon as they left, Zhou Jingxuan distributed all the fruits and pastries they brought to everyone in Xiyuan, and he didn't keep anything at all.
After a while, the five princes, who were originally ranked seventh and are now ranked fifth, also came to Xiyuan.
Although he is fourteen or fifteen years old, the long-term repressive court life, coupled with the fact that his biological mother is sick in bed all the year round, has made him develop a timid and cautious temperament.
At this time, he just stood in the courtyard for a while, and he didn't even see the faces of the two stupid brothers, so he hurriedly went out.
In this regard, he explained to the eunuch beside him: "As long as we come to Xiyuan to answer, if our father asks in the future, we will not blame the prince and snub my brother." ”
After another half an hour, a eunuch sneakily sent several large boxes of things, saying that they were for the two princes in Xiyuan.
The two eunuchs had red faces and white teeth, and they didn't say which palace they belonged to.
only said: "This is a secret gift from my master to the two princes, and I ask Mama not to make a noise." ”
After the two eunuchs left, Zhou Jingxuan and a few maids opened the box and found that it contained some daily necessities such as rice, flour, sugar and oil.
As soon as everyone finished counting, they heard that the four princes had ordered some warm clothes such as quilts and clothes, as well as some charcoal stoves;
In addition, he sent a few playthings, and a hundred taels of silver.
also said that this is what he should do as a brother, so that the people in Xiyuan don't have to go to thank him.
Zhou Jingxuan handed over all those things to Grandma Sun, and asked her to make up her own minds, and distribute what should be distributed, without saving.
Grandma Sun and the others all happily took the order and left.
In the afternoon, the prince also came to Xiyuan.
It's just that Zhou Jingxuan didn't see him, and just let Yun Jingqi go out.
After seeing a few people in a row, Yun Jingqi became a little bolder, and when he saw the prince, he hurriedly went to get a fruit, welcomed him to the courtyard, and handed it to the prince.
The palace maid beside the prince hurriedly took it.
The prince walked towards the house, and the eunuch next to him hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "Your Highness, you are weak, this kind of place is not suitable for staying for a long time, let's go?"
The prince paused and thought for a moment, then turned and left.
All this, Zhou Jingxuan has a full view. The coldness on his face was even worse: he couldn't imagine that the prince, who usually looked gentle and benevolent, treated his two stupid brothers with nothing more than perfunctory affection.
He played with the token in his hand, and felt that since he had entered the palace, it was better to go around, and it would not be in vain.
He led Yun Jingqi, and the two of them spun around in the palace.
Yun Jingqi sees that everything is fresh, the same thing, you can stare at it for a long time, and you don't feel tired.
I didn't dare to leave Zhou Jingxuan three steps away, and when I couldn't find Zhou Jingxuan, I would cry.
Zhou Jingxuan didn't mind, he thought that since he had a brother, he must make up for the brotherhood he owed over the years.
So along the way, he was like a spring breeze and full of interest.
But wherever they went, there were always guards who stopped them, saying that there were places where the prince could not set foot in.
Zhou Jingxuan had no choice but to take a detour, and this detour went around to the East Palace, where he was actually arrested by the guards as an assassin.
It wasn't until the prince came out that the guards released the Zhou Jingxuan brothers.
At first glance, the prince felt that Zhou Jingxuan's face was familiar: "Where has this prince seen you?" ”
Zhou Jingxuan grinned twice, listened to the guards on the side, and reminded the prince: "Your Highness, didn't you see them yesterday?" ”
"It's not!" The prince pointed at Zhou Jingxuan and said, "In the entrance paddock, this prince has seen you." ”
"Hehe," Zhou Jingxuan suddenly said thoughtlessly: "God needs me." ”
The prince's face instantly turned cold, he sighed faintly, and then ordered his entourage: "You take him to the palace of Ben Tai and go to dinner!" ”
"Yes!" A eunuch agreed, and then faced Zhou Jingxuan: "Two princes, please come with the slaves." ”
Zhou Jingxuan ignored them and pulled Yun Jingqi away.
Seeing their stupid and rude appearances, the prince didn't get angry, but just said to himself: "This imperial brother really looks like Zhou Jingxuan, who is both wise and brave." ”
Zhou Jingxuan and the two brothers, when they returned the same way, met the four princes.
As soon as the fourth prince saw them, he rushed over: "Two imperial brothers, why did you come out?" What about people? Why is no one following you? If something happens, what's wrong? ”
Zhou Jingxuan suddenly interrupted the words of the fourth prince: "Heaven needs me!" ”
The fourth prince looked anxious, and when he heard this, there was a little heartache on his face: "Since ancient times, tigers have not eaten children!" They came up with the idea of letting their father sacrifice the prince to the sky. Secretly, it is sarcastic that the father's heart is more poisonous than a tiger! But my father didn't know it, but insisted on going his own way! ”
The attendants on the side hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "Your Highness, be careful that the wall has ears!" ”
The fourth prince's face softened slightly, and he stopped talking: "You take the two princes down to eat, and after eating, send them back to Xiyuan, so that they don't cause any trouble in this harem." ”
After saying this, the four princes told Zhou Jingxuan and the brothers with a pleasant face: "The imperial brother can't accompany you to dinner today, so I have to accompany the imperial brother's mother." ”
After saying this, the four princes did not wait for the other party's reaction, then turned their heads away, sighed deeply, and then went to Concubine Li's bedroom.
Zhou Jingxuan didn't expect that these four princes would be such a prince who understood righteousness.
But at this time, he didn't want to go to the four princes to eat, and when he saw the four princes leaving, he took Yun Jingqi back to Xiyuan.
The next morning, Emperor Qinglong sent an edict: saying that without his permission, the two princes in Xiyuan were not allowed to leave Xiyuan again.
Zhou Jingxuan pursed his lips and was noncommittal. Yin and yang are reversed
