After dinner, Zhao Qingxiang pulled Zhou Jingxuan aside and told him repeatedly: "The cadres in Xiyuan are not only hard-working people, but also your relatives and benefactors, thanks to them, you brothers can grow up safely!" So you are not allowed to mess around in the Xiyuan! ”

Zhou Jingxuan nodded impatiently: "Mother? Why can't you trust me? ”

"And, especially Pearl, you'd better stay away from her in the future!"

"Got it! I'll walk around her in the future, okay? ”

"It's not that you are going around her, but that you are not allowed to tease her again in the future!"

"Yes! Mother! ”

Zhao Qingxiang was stunned for a moment, and then took a sip: "Who is your mother?" Your mother is classless and rankless, and she is not even a family member, so how can she be called a concubine? ”

Besides, how awkward is this name? It's not as close as the mother!

Zhou Jingxuan also felt awkward: "Then I still call you my mother, right?" ”

"Good! But in front of outsiders, you can't call it that? ”

"Why?"

"Because only a mother can be called a mother, and your mother is a queen!"

"Cut!" Zhou Jingxuan turned his head dissatisfied: "Since I can remember, I only have a mother, no father!" It was like that, it's like it is now, and it will be like it will be like that! ”

Zhao Qingxiang was a little helpless, and deliberately teased him: "You stupid boy!" Isn't it good to be a prince? ”

"Since it's good, why did my mother send me out?"

"But you're grown up now! ……”

Zhou Jingxuan smiled coldly: "Mother thinks that a child who was abandoned by his father like a shoe, and now only thinks of him just to sacrifice him to the sky, still needs to recognize him as his father?" ”

"Xuan'er, the heavenly family is ruthless, it has been like this since ancient times! Mother doesn't want you to do anything earth-shattering, as long as you are safe and sound, you can protect your brother! ”

"Got it, mother! Don't worry, I won't let that faint king's plan succeed! ”

At this moment, the young man sitting in the bright yellow candlelight, his eyes were far-reaching, as if he wanted to penetrate the late night in this cold winter and see the dirtiness of the dark corner.

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhao Qingxiang stayed in Xiyuan tonight.

and instructed Haitang to let her take care of Zhou Jingxuan's daily life in the future.

The next morning, Emperor Qinglong sent down an edict saying that he would summon the two princes in Xiyuan.

Zhou Jingxuan deliberately made himself sloppy, half of his hair covered his face, and his body was also bloated.

Anyway, it's winter, and I'm not afraid of heating myself.

Gonggong Lu, the eunuch who managed the Xiyuan area, walked around like a Buddha temporarily, telling them some basic etiquette.

And Zhou Jingxuan held his brother's hand and kept looking around, his eyes were full of freshness and excitement, and he naturally had no intention of caring about this Father-in-law Lu.

Father-in-law Lu is also self-aware, although he knows that he is playing the piano to the cow, he still chatters all the way uneasily.

Standing outside the door of the Warm Fragrance Pavilion where Emperor Qinglong was, all Zhou Jingxuan's excitement was swept away, he stared at the dragon and phoenix gilt gate in front of him, his eyes were as cold as the pool of thick ice in the imperial garden.

Emperor Qinglong didn't let them wait for a long time, and directly ordered someone to bring them in.

After Zhou Jingxuan entered, he saw Emperor Qinglong sitting there, flipping through the folds.

Seeing the two brothers come in, Emperor Qinglong raised his head and looked at him curiously.

Yun Jingqi saw a strangely dressed man in front of him, and he was frowning and looking over, so frightened that he leaned towards his younger brother. Then he timidly stared back at the stranger in front of him with strange eyes.

Zhou Jingxuan was hesitating whether to bend down and salute, when he saw his brother coming over and hugged him tightly. He had no choice but to stand still, keeping his head down and silent.

Father-in-law Lu reminded in a low voice: "Two princes, kneel down and kowtow!" After he finished speaking, he came to pull Yun Jingqi.

The man in front of Yun Jingqi had a cold face, and when he saw someone coming to pull him, he was so frightened that he cried.

Emperor Qinglong has always been pretentious, and until now, he doesn't want to admit that he has two stupid sons.

Especially now, seeing his brothers looking stupid and obscene, his heart is even more irritable.

He didn't even bother to talk to them now, just waved his hand: "Let them stand down!" ”

Zhou Jingxuan glanced at Emperor Qinglong contemptuously, then took his brother's hand and turned to leave.

Not long after the two brothers returned to Xiyuan, they listened to the eunuch Xiaohezi in Xiyuan singing at the gate: "The eldest prince has arrived!" ”

Zhou Jingxuan pulled Yun Jingqi and greeted him out.

When the eldest prince saw the two stupid younger brothers running towards him, he hurriedly stretched out his two hands, wanting to hold one in one hand.

Who knew that when Yun Jingqi saw the eldest prince like this, he was so frightened that he hugged Zhou Jingxuan again.

The eldest prince had no choice but to put down his hand in embarrassment, and then ordered someone to bring the pastries, fruits and vegetables he brought.

Yun Jingqi saw that there was something to eat, so he hurriedly took the plate, pulled Zhou Jingxuan and ran into the house.

The eldest prince shook his head helplessly, and then followed.

Zhou Jingxuan took a piece of pastry and stretched it out in front of the eldest prince.

The eldest prince smiled slightly, took it and ate it.

I heard that this eldest prince was born to a concubine in the palace when Emperor Qinglong was the prince.

Later, at the beginning of Emperor Qinglong's ascension to the throne, the side concubine was only named Jieyu because of great disrespect. Because of this unwarranted disaster, the eldest prince's biological mother died of depression two years later.

The eldest prince has not been loved by the emperor because of his biological mother and mediocre qualifications. Brothers and sisters, naturally, don't look down on him.

So in the palace, this great prince has always been regarded as an existence of air.

Seeing this big prince, he didn't dislike Yun Jingqi at all. Zhou Jingxuan became interested in him, and was about to say a few words to him, when he heard the news that the third and fourth princes had arrived!

When Zhou Jingxuan heard this, he had to dispel the idea of talking to him, but he didn't go out to greet him.

In fact, the two princes, who don't need to be notified at all, have already come in.

Seeing that the eldest prince was here, the fourth prince hurriedly greeted him, with a smile in his eyebrows: "Brother the eldest prince, you are also here?" ”

The third prince clenched his fists and greeted lightly: "Brother the Great Emperor." ”

The eldest prince returned the salute slightly, and then turned to Zhou Jingxuan and the brothers, his eyes softened: "Two imperial brothers, don't be afraid, these are your third emperor brothers and fourth emperor brothers, they will not harm you." ”

The third prince turned around and looked at Zhou Jingxuan and the brothers strangely.

When the fourth prince saw Zhou Jingxuan's appearance, he was stunned for a moment: "You...... You? ”

Seeing this, the third prince interrupted the fourth prince's words with a concerned expression: "Don't be afraid, Fourth Emperor brother, I have already inquired before I came in, although they are rude, they will not hurt anyone." ”

Zhou Jingxuan held a piece of cake in one hand, stuffed it into the hands of the third and fourth princes, and giggled and smirked: "You eat, eat!" ”

Looking at Zhou Jingxuan's hand sticking to the cake crumbs, the third prince didn't take it, and then knocked down the cake that the fourth prince received in his hand: "You dare to eat this!"

The fourth prince glared at the imperial brother dissatisfied, and then went to pick up the cake.

saw the third prince kick the pastry in front of Zhou Jingxuan, and shouted at Zhou Jingxuan arrogantly: "Go!" Picked it up and ate it. “

Zhou Jingxuan sneered and bent down to pick it up.

Who knew that a person was faster than him, but it was the eldest prince who picked up the cake, and said to Zhou Jingxuan regretfully: "Brother Emperor, if this cake falls to the ground, it can't be eaten, dirty!" You know? He said and handed it to the palace maid on the side. Yin and yang are reversed
