Chapter 51: The Prince Walks Together
After Murong Zhi had lunch, she went to the study with her father to read. Of course, Murong Jin was seriously handling official business, Murong Zhi originally took a book and poured it on the soft couch to read, but how did he fall asleep after watching it. When it was almost time, Murong Jin put down the pen in his hand, looked out the window, and walked to the soft edge, intending to wake up Murong Zhi, but seeing Murong Zhi sleeping so soundly, such a quiet demeanor was really rare, Murong Jin really couldn't bear to disturb, so he pulled a blanket and covered Murong Zhi, and smiled helplessly and dotingly: If you can sleep as peacefully as you do now, you will be content with your father. Half an hour laterβ
"Huh? Daddy, what time is it? Murong Zhi stretched and looked out the window by the way.
"It's been half an hour." Murong Jin glanced at Murong Zhi and said with a smile: "I wonder if Zhi'er slept well?" β
"Oops! Daddy jokes like this, isn't he disgusted that his daughter doesn't take reading seriously? Murong Zhi pouted with a smile.
"It's true that you don't have to read a book, but it's not too early, have you forgotten what else is going on tonight."
"How dare you forget the words of the general?" Murong Zhi gave a military salute decently, "It's just, Dad, I really don't want to go!" Murong Zhi hugged Murong Jin's arm and said coquettishly.
"As a courtier, the king's order cannot be violated." Murong Zhi said solemnly.
"Okay then, then I'll pack up and leave?" Murong Zhi was really helpless in her heart: all evil feudal thoughts!
"Wait!" Murong Jin stood up, looked at Murong Zhi carefully, and said, "Dress plainly." β
"Okay, my daughter obeys!" Murong Zhi said with a smile. It seems that Daddy still cares about himself! Since the emperor named me and asked me to enter the palace to participate in this banquet, it must not be simple, of course, the more low-key the better!
This kid! Murong Jin looked at Murong Zhi's figure, and the corners of his mouth didn't feel raised.
"Dad, when we get to the palace gate later, are we going down to the banquet?" Murong Zhi sat in the carriage and looked out. The last time I entered the palace, it felt like visiting a scenic spot, nothing to see, and nothing valuable, but I didn't want to arrive at the banquet so early, otherwise I would panic.
"If you don't want to walk, we can also take a carriage inside, because the emperor is so kind, only my carriage is allowed to enter and leave the palace."
"No, no, no, I just want to take a walk and take a good look at the golden palace in the mouth of outsiders." Murong Zhi hurriedly explained.
"You! What's so beautiful about this palace is just a place of struggle for power. Murong Jin sighed.
"Dad, you're so old." What's going on with this sudden sadness, Murong Zhi still rarely sees his father like this, in order to change the topic, he pointed to the palace gate outside the curtain and said, "Dad, is it here?" β
After Murong Jin lifted the curtain, after stepping down from the carriage, he said a few words to the guards guarding the palace gate, and then motioned to Murong Zhi: "Zhi'er, come down." As soon as Murong Zhi heard this, she immediately ran to Murong Jin's side and walked beside Murong Jin obediently, but her two eyes were carefully observing: the guards patrolling back and forth, the obscene and treacherous eunuchs, and the cautious palace maids...... Although there are no other emotions on everyone's faces except respect, how can the life of this deep palace be as plain as it is on the face, these people are also pitiful, living under the mask of hypocrisy every day, and no one can be allowed to grasp any handle......
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." When Murong Zhi was thinking about it, she met the crown prince and the crown princess.
"Your Excellency the General is gracious." After the prince helped Murong Jin up, "The adult also went to pick up the fourth brother?" β
"Exactly." Only then did Murong Zhi realize that the crown princess had been looking at her, and Murong Zhi had no choice but to salute the crown princess, but the crown princess smiled very gently. Although she has been here for almost a year, Murong Zhi still has not developed the habit of saluting when she sees others.
"Then I don't know if this palace is blessed to go all the way with the general?"
"Your Highness's words, it's really a shame. If His Royal Highness doesn't dislike it, this is His Royal Highness's love for Weichen. β
"General, please." Murong Zhi looked at this back and forth, and couldn't help but complain: Aren't you going to walk together? What a hassle, huh! Murong Zhi was complaining when she heard the voice of the crown princess-
"Miss Murong, it just so happens that this palace also wants to talk to you, why don't we go too?" The crown princess said softly.
"Yes." Murong Zhi naturally knew that the prince wanted to take the opportunity to entrap his father, and the princess naturally had to help him. However, Murong Zhi's impression of this crown princess is not bad, although she didn't say hello much when she met last time, but later Murong Zhi went back to inquire, and this crown princess can still afford this title. This crown princess is Zhong Huijing, the daughter of today's Prime Minister Zhong Yan, and she and the crown prince Yiyi were married by order. Although the prince has several concubines, this Zhong Huijing has gotten along with these concubines quite harmoniously since she entered the prince's mansion, and she not only kept the prince's mansion in order, but also prevented the prince from making impulsive decisions several times, avoiding the prince from making big mistakes, and can be regarded as a virtuous helper. Although most of the women in the capital don't like her because of jealousy, Zhong Huijing never deliberately pleases anyone, which is rare. is not jealous, not flattering, and does have the demeanor of being a princess.
