Concubine Fang gave her son a look, and immediately responded: "Xiangtai is back, right here." ”

The fourth prince stepped forward, and the emperor opened his eyes to look at him and asked, "What about talking to your mother?" ”

Xiangtai said yes, and the emperor asked, "What do you say?" ”

How could the fourth prince tell the emperor that his mother felt that he couldn't do it, and only said: "The mother concubine said that the father and the emperor are sick, and the son should be by his side to serve him." ”

The emperor sneered: "When did I drink your cup of tea?" ”

Concubine Fang stepped forward and said: "What the emperor said, you always want Xiangtai to study well, and don't worry about other things, but this son said that he had never drunk his son's tea." She called her son to pour tea, but the emperor pushed her, "You go, go and see how Concubine Lian's body is, but don't talk around her, young people are different from us, no one likes to hear what you say, I talk to Xiangtai for a while." ”

"Yes, don't get tired." Concubine Fang agreed, and when she left, she glanced at her son again, hoping that Xiangtai would be clever and not cause trouble for herself.

Xiangtai still brought the tea, helped his father to get up, and carefully waited for him to send the tea down, but turned around and listened to his father: "I don't know, how much time will I be able to drink the tea you bring, I thought that when my little grandson grew up, he could pour a cup of tea for the emperor's grandfather." ”

Xiangtai said: "My father is healthy and healthy, how can I say such a thing, and how can my son afford it." ”

The emperor sneered, said that his head and neck were sore, asked him to move a stool and sit down, and after looking at his son carefully, he asked: "These days in and out, but it is still thoughtful, is there anyone who embarrasses you?" ”

Xiangtai responded: "Everything is fine, Emperor Amato and Zhuo Xi take care of the safety of their sons, and no one dares to offend them." ”

The emperor sighed: "Your cold and indifferent attitude, I am not afraid when I see me, I always feel like I owe you something, and I hate your father all over." ”

"Father, the son doesn't dare." Xiangtai knelt down in a panic, and the emperor didn't stop him, but said, "I, I'm almost out of breath, I only have you as a son, but you don't want this country." ”

Xiangtai lowered his eyebrows and clenched his fists.

The emperor stood up, slowly paced to the window, and looked up at the not open sky: "In my life, I have achieved nothing, I thought that if I won Shending Village, I could raise my eyebrows, but who knows that nothing has changed." Thinking about it this way, why should I be hostile to Shending Village, leaving Shending Village, and making them afraid. ”

Xiangtai didn't dare to move when he saw that his father didn't tell him to get up, but he felt that his father was not terminally ill, but completely decadent mentally. Mother is a person who can do her best for the sake of the end, but he did not inherit half of the point, and inherited all the cowardice of his father. He still doesn't understand what his father is afraid of Uncle Guo's family, but he can fully understand the helplessness that goes deep into the bone marrow.

"To have you kneel here, to have today, everything from my father and the emperor was given by the queen's brothers and sisters." The emperor said slowly, "My father always blames you for being unproductive, but I don't know that my father is far inferior to you at your age. My father is a cowardly person to the bone, and for the dissatisfaction in front of him, he will always secretly be jealous and resentful in his heart, and he dare not really do something to impress. I always waited for others to give me a chance, instead of working hard to fight for it myself, and hid in the shadow of your uncle all my life until the queen married into the palace. ”

"Father, my sons don't understand."

"Oh, of course you don't understand, if you have a smart, wise and omnipotent brother, you understand." The emperor let out a long sigh, his hands were lying on the window lattice, and his ten fingers seemed to be tightly gripping the wooden frame, "Xiangtai, one day they will kill me and plan to pass on the throne, what will you do at that time?" ”

"What does Father mean?"

"According to the queen's wishes, give the throne to her nephew Han Jiye, and the country will change the dynasty from then on." The emperor said so ordinarily, as if he knew his fate early on, and he was not surprised at all.

Xiangtai muffled his voice, but sadly, in his heart, there was no strong hope to protect all this, and it was not just because of the failure with Huili that gave him such a heavy blow, maybe he was not born like this.

"Father has decided to abandon all this?" Xiangtai's expression tensed.

"You said that day that you don't want to inherit the throne, and I will ask you again today." The emperor was heartbroken, "You and I, father and son, can't you keep this dynasty in the world?" ”

"Hold on! You can hold it! The voice came from the door, and both father and son were stunned

Fang Guifei really didn't go far, she didn't worry about the two men she knew best in the world, what kind of sin did she create, she worked hard all her life, and she was still looking forward to the future, but these two people had to give up first? So her life, didn't it become a joke, did the emperor want the queen to trample her face under the ground and laugh and humiliate?

She rushed in, knelt between the emperor and her son, and begged: "Your Majesty, let Xiangtai go to the mighty general, ask the general to send troops to protect you, no matter what, the soldiers and horses in the world are not in their hands, the mighty mansion and the Dingxi mansion are all feared by them, the emperor...... Don't give up, even if Xiangtai is not promising, the child in Concubine Lian's belly is your own grandson, he will definitely be promising, and the concubine will definitely teach her well. ”

The emperor smiled coldly, the day before yesterday, Uncle Han went to the Tingzheng Palace to see him, the queen was also by his side, the same thing was about to happen, the queen said that she sent the emperor to the dragon chair back then, and twenty years later, she was going to send her nephew to the dragon chair, and the Ji dynasty was already dead in his generation.

"What qualifications do I have?" The emperor picked up Concubine Fang and stared at her fiercely, "What qualifications does a person who killed his own brother with his own hands have?" ”

Concubine Fang was stunned, and Xiangtai on the ground was even more shocked, and came on her knees and pulled her father and asked, "Father, what did you say, what did you do to your uncle, ...... father?"

"Shut up!" However, Concubine Fang soon realized what the emperor was talking about, slapped her son, and scolded, "Unproductive evil obstacles, why can't you stand up to the sky and the earth, just for a woman to be decadent to this point?" Okay, I'll marry Liang Huili for you now, are you satisfied? ”

Xiangtai seemed to have the courage to come suddenly, almost rushed to his mother, and threatened his mother in a tone that he had never had before: "Mother, don't hurt Huili, otherwise you will lose everything." ”

Concubine Fang was trembling for a moment, but she vaguely saw hope, grabbed her son and said: "Okay, go quickly, go to the mighty general's mansion quickly, and apologize to the old general for your father, even if you kneel, son, Concubine Lian is innocent, and the child in her belly is innocent." ”

Ke Xiangtai looked at his father sadly: "Then who is going to make amends to the imperial sister, father?" ”

The emperor looked at his son in a daze, and Concubine Fang pushed her son away and said: "If you can rule the world one day, it will not be too late to make decisions for your imperial sister when the time comes, if you can't do it, don't talk nonsense here." ”

Xiangtai stood motionless in front of the door, the emperor sneered and sat down, those words that could not be said finally came out, and he seemed to be relieved.

Concubine Fang's reliance in this life, her husband and son, her heaven, never seemed to really hang high on her head, as if she was supporting herself, pretending to be a void of decency.

"Son, do you want your mother's body to be gone, my mother has been fighting with the queen for a lifetime, and she won't let me go." Concubine Fang actually knelt in front of her son, "Xiangtai, this is your fate, you have the courage to fight against fate, why can't you bear all this?" What about your child, do you want him to be as cowardly as you in the future? ”

But Xiangtai looked at his father and said coldly: "If the uncle is still there, I am just an ordinary royal child, and my father is also an idle prince, father, the life you yearn for has been destroyed by you." ”

The emperor laughed, suddenly coughed violently, and spit out a mouthful of blood, Fang Guifei was shocked, and urgently called the imperial doctor, and when she came back to her senses to find her son, Xiangtai was gone. Concubine Fang Guifei was worried that Xiangtai was going to Chiba to say what the emperor said, so she really had no hope, so she immediately sent someone to chase her, but the person who chased her came back, saying that the fourth prince went to the mighty general's mansion. Concubine Fang's heart fell heavily, and the whole person was paralyzed, which shocked the palace people at a loss.

And said that when Xiangtai left the palace, he met Zhuo Xi to find him, he had just worked for the master in the mighty general's mansion, and he was going to go back to pick up the four princes as promised, but he didn't want him to go back to the palace first, after all, the responsibility was on his body, Zhuo Xi came to the imperial city again, and met Xiangtai out of the palace, and said to him: "I want to see the old general." ”

The New Year is approaching, the general's mansion is no longer as deserted as before, the children and grandchildren gather together, the rebellious obstacle has long died in the hands of the Korean uncle, the old general still raises innocent grandchildren for his brother regardless of his previous suspicions, and is respected by the clansmen. The unity of the family and the unity of the family are also the reasons why the mighty mansion has been able to stand tall since the founding of the country.

Not long after sending Zhuo Xi away, I heard that the four princes had arrived, and the children of the martial family had no good impression of the royal family, and the children who seemed to be the most important children who put everything on their faces, now a few years older, had more ideas than the fifteen-year-old girl, and actually greeted the door and said: "Fourth Highness, my lord is resting, what is the matter with you, come back another day." ”

Xiangtai said politely: "I will wait under the door and wait for the old general to get up." ”

Qi Qing glanced at him, this polite man, who had almost become her husband, felt incredible when he thought about it, and said with a face: "Your Highness is willing to wait, and the little woman will not stop her, but I don't know how long I will wait, and I hope Your Highness will not blame the general's mansion for being rude." The emperor has criticized my martial artist a lot, and I don't know what the next time it will be. ”

I didn't want Xiangtai to say: "I came today to apologize to the old general and the general's mansion for this matter." ”

Wu Qiqing was stunned, Zhuo Xi was also stunned, and then hurriedly said to Qiqing: "Miss Wu, please pass on the old general, don't delay the big thing." ”

"Since Brother Zhuo said so, I'll ask Grandpa again." Qiqing admired Zhuo Xi as a hero, and was unwilling to disobey him, and seeing the sincerity of the fourth prince's attitude, she passed these words to her grandfather as they were.

As soon as the old general took effect and was loyal to the Ji dynasty, he did not seek fame and fortune only for the peace of the world, but he called the demon to be in charge and ruined his military prestige, and then saw that Xiangtai actually knelt down to himself, and he would not covet the dignity of a prince's knees, and personally supported him: "Your Highness, don't torture the old man." ”

Xiangtai will explain in the future that he hopes that the mighty general will send troops to guard the imperial city and suppress the forces of the Wei Palace, and he will try his best to cooperate with his father to rectify the dynasty and revitalize the royal family. It is rare for the old general to see the four princes so graceful and upright, and his heart is also touched, no matter what his original plan is, not letting the Han clan succeed is the ultimate goal, and he is to answer Xiangtai: "The old minister immediately dispatched troops to transfer the army stationed outside the city into the imperial city, those weak and powerless defenders and royal forest troops are not worth mentioning." ”

Xiangtai was sure in his heart, and then thanked the old general, discussed some things, and thanked him again and again before exiting the general's mansion.

There were already people in the palace waiting to take the four princes back to the palace, saying that the emperor's condition was fine, and the imperial doctor had already prescribed medicine and was recuperating.

"In that case, there's no need for me to go back and do anything, tell my mother, I will naturally go back when the time comes, and now I want to go shopping elsewhere." Xiangtai rejected the request of the palace people and said to Zhuo Xi, "I promised Tuan Tuan to go to the Hou Mansion as a guest, but I always missed the appointment, and it is not good to deceive a child." Zhuoxi, I'll go to the house today. ”

Zhuo Xi smiled faintly: "Tuan Tuan must be happy." ”

Wu Qiqing sent the guests out, and when she heard them say this, she was also interested for a while, and said to Zhuo Xi: "Brother Zhuo, I don't know if Hou Fuhuan welcomes me?" ”

Zhuo Xi smiled: "Miss Wu is naturally a guest. ”

She looked at Zhuo Xi happily, and had dealt with her several times, the eldest brother Zhuo Yushu in her eyes was strong in martial arts, low-key and calm, and from time to time people would ignore his existence, but no matter which side, he was indispensable. Miss Wu admires such a man the most, she can withdraw from the marriage for herself, and naturally she can strive for happiness for herself, and smiled brightly at this time: "Then you are welcome." ”

In order to make Tuan Tuan happy, Xiangtai personally turned back to Wenxian Villa to pick her up, the little girl was really happy, and the accompanying martial arts sister also talked, lively and lively in front of the house, Dingshan was still outside and was not at home, Chiba had already gotten the news, and waited in front of the door and said: "Now our family also has the excitement in the moon, why did the martial girl come alone, and the lady and the sons in the house should be invited." ”

Qiqing smiled: "It's good for me to come alone, there are many people." While glancing at Zhuo Xi, there was an indescribable emotion in her crystal eyes, but Chiba had already looked at Xiangtai and didn't pay attention, but Chu Ge, who was standing behind her, could see it clearly.

But Zhuo Xi was there like a pestle of wood, and he didn't accept the affection thrown by the girl at all.

Chu Ge snorted strangely, and seemed to come forward to greet her, wanting to learn kung fu with her, but she only said coldly: "It's rare to get together, sit down and talk." ”

When the family entered the door, they didn't see Erniang and Huili, knowing that they were busy in the kitchen, Tuan Tuan proudly took Xiangtai and said: "Your Highness, come and take a look, my mother's dumplings are amazing, the dumplings seem to be conjured out of her hands like a trick, and I can't learn it well." ”

She insisted on taking Xiangtai to the kitchen, just as Huili ordered a plate of dumplings to try salty, and she was not embarrassed to see Xiangtai, but she only hated her sister: "Little gluttonous cat, you know that some have eaten, so you came." Hello, there is more and more posture of the second lady, send someone to send a message back, we have been busy chopping stuffing and noodles for a long time. ”

Tuan Tuan stuffed a dumpling in his mouth, and said happily: "Your Highness always gives me snacks from the palace, and I also want Your Highness to taste my mother's craftsmanship." ”

Chiba followed in front of the door and beckoned to Erniang, who immediately understood, picked up the dumplings and pulled her daughter and said, "Have you washed your hands, it's really unruly, my mother took you to wash your hands, and the guests haven't eaten yet......"

They all left suddenly, leaving the two of them in the steamy kitchen, obviously with a purpose, Hui Li smiled, saw that there were still a few dumplings in the pot, so they put them on the plate, and asked Xiangtai: "Your Highness, can you taste it?" ”

Xiangtai immediately said: "I happened to be hungry." ”

Hui Li brought it to him, handed him chopsticks, and asked if he wanted vinegar or spicy, and he smiled after talking for a long time: "Your Highness has never seen such a scene, and you haven't eaten in the kitchen, right?" Erniang, she used to be my mother's maid, a person who couldn't be idle, and now she is still willing to do a lot of things by herself, and she is happy every day when she is busy, so that you can see the jokes. ”

Xiangtai had already stuffed a few dumplings in his mouth, shook his head and said, "It's good to have a day like this." ”

Hui Li said: "But this shouldn't be His Highness's day, it's just a fresh one or two, Your Highness and we are not people all the way after all." ”

Xiangtai glanced at her, the dumplings were dipped in vinegar and slid into his stomach, but the sourness in his heart was forced out, and he finally mustered up the courage to say: "Huili, I was sorry for you back then, I didn't do anything for you, only brought you endless trouble." Now I regret it, it's too late, I can only promise that I will never trouble you again in the rest of my life. ” △≧△≧

Hui Li took the plate in his hand and put it down, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, do you want to try making dumplings?" He pointed to the basin on the side, "Wash your hands first." ”

Xiangtai did it one by one, followed by Hui Li clumsily pinched a few, but it also looked a little, Hui Li smiled: "Wait for it to be cooked, give it to Tuan Tuan to eat." ”

Seeing that Huili seemed to be deliberately not answering his words, Xiangtai was not reluctant, maybe this is the last time he will be alone with Huili in this life, just cherish it, he silently pinched the dumplings in his hand, and gradually became more and more beautiful, Huili suddenly said: "Your Highness really wants to do anything, you can do it well." ”

Xiangtai stopped his hand and looked at her in surprise, Hui Li Waner smiled: "If I had made it clear to His Highness, everyone would not have been entangled, and I was confused, thinking that I was not emotional, but I couldn't let go." But the first person in my life to say such a thing to me was you, and I am very happy and it will be a good memory for my whole life. Your Royal Highness, you and I will be well in the future, cherish the people around you, especially those who are good to yourself, life is still very long, whether it is Concubine Lian Niangniang or other good women, Your Highness will definitely be happier than now. Me too, I will meet people who really belong to me and live well. ”

Xiangtai saw that Huili's eyes seemed to be wet with the steaming mist in the pot, and it didn't seem to be, he had experienced so many things today, and at this moment, his impetuous heart finally settled down.

"I will be a wise monarch and make the world peaceful." Xiangtai's heart suddenly brightened, even if it was just for Huili, she wanted to have peace in the world, so that she could live carefree, without danger and no conspiracy, and go wherever she wanted, how good it would be.

Hui Li smiled from the bottom of her heart and bowed: "Your Highness, little woman, wait and see." ”
