When the little eunuch saw that it was the prince, he lay on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic, and the prince kicked him on the shoulder and scolded: "What is so flustered? ”

"Hui, back to the prince's words, news came from the capital, saying that the nineteenth elder brother died. The slave is blind and doesn't see the prince, please spare your life. The little eunuch replied tremblingly, and said, "The slave has returned to the emperor here, and he has to go back to Concubine De Niangniang." ”

As soon as the word "Concubine De" was mentioned, it seemed to poke the prince's backbone, and he suddenly rushed to his brain, and scolded dizzily: "Bastard, how many elder brothers and grandsons have died in the palace, is it your turn to panic?" The emperor is laughing with his brothers, and when he is happy, do you have to provoke him with this? What kind of brother born to a lowly woman can afford to be so troublesome, what's the matter, should we all go back to his funeral? ”

That lowly woman, whether she promised to go to Gao or Concubine De, probably only the person who spoke could understand in their hearts, and Liang's father-in-law, who could rush over from behind to play the round, did not wait to greet the prince, and suddenly saw the emperor standing behind, and said in fright: "Long live the auspicious." ”

The prince was annoyed, and thought that Mr. Liang was scaring him, but he couldn't help but look back, his impatient expression happened to meet his father's eyes, and he hurriedly turned around and fell to the ground, and he didn't know what to think at this moment, and immediately said sadly: "Huang Ama, the little nineteen is gone." ”

Behind the emperor, the thirteenth and fourteenth hid behind the door and did not show their faces, just when they heard the shouting, the father just said a joke and paced to the door, he stood there and looked out, the brothers came over to take a look, and saw that it was the prince who was scolding people outside the door, and quickly avoided it, even the twelfth elder brother hid on the other side, not wanting to run out at this moment to embarrass the prince.

"Tell Concubine De and Concubine He, and see how things will be handled after that." The emperor's voice was terrifyingly cold, he had just been amused by a cheeky joke of the fourteenth, and after a while, his face changed, if you want to say that they are like the father and son of the prince and the emperor, the prince changed his face quickly, and he can catch up with his father.

The emperor turned around and came in, and when he saw his three sons on the side, his heart sank again, but he didn't want to be angry for the heartless beast, so he raised his face and said, "Where did you just go?" Yinzhen, what did you say about what Yinzhen taught you? ”

Outside the door, the prince struggled to get up from the ground, Liang's father-in-law had already retreated with the little eunuch, he didn't have to be angry in front of him, the prince was alone there, and after walking for a long time, there were people from Yuqing Palace to serve him, and when he returned to his room, his face was pale and his heart was pounding, and the anger in his father's eyes shocked his soul to disperse, did you hear? I heard all the words I said in my negative anger, right?

After a long time, there were guards outside the door to tell him, saying that the ship was ready to serve the emperor and board the ship, the prince hurriedly cheered up and came out, although the father and son were embarrassed to see each other, but if the emperor had nothing to do, he still let the prince wait around and boarded the dragon boat smoothly. And at this moment, the ladies also had news coming, saying that they would go back to Beijing with their concubines to take care of this matter, after all, the child was raised in Chuxiu Palace, and I was afraid that Concubine Tong would not be able to do it alone.

But when the concubines were dressed up to say goodbye to the emperor, the emperor suddenly said, "Let the prince escort you back to Beijing." ”

Thirteen and fourteen were all stunned, looking at each other, thinking about whether to take the initiative to take this responsibility for the crown prince, but Huang Ama continued: "They are all my sons, but because the biological mother is from the Han family, most of the courtiers ignore these younger sons of mine. Yinren, you made it clear to the courtiers on behalf of me that you should treat my brothers equally. ”

The prince was a little dazed, and he didn't answer his father's words for a while, but Yinyu said: "Huang Ama, do you want our brother to escort the prince and his concubine for a while." ”

"Then you board the ship and leave, you turn back, how can you catch up?" Xuan Ye was disdainful, and then said to the concubine, "Walk with the prince all the way, you take care of yourself, the prince should not care about you more, don't blame him for not being deciless." ”

He said generously with the concubine: "Long live Ye Bai instructed these words, don't the concubines still understand?" You can rest assured. Then he smiled at the prince, "Fortunately, the distance is not far, the prince doesn't have to worry about my affairs here, let's go back and settle the aftermath of the nineteenth elder brother earlier." ”

The prince came to his senses, received the will, and promised his father that he would get things done, and Xuan Ye also said politely: "On the way back to Beijing, you will go all the way south, we can meet wherever we meet, I will take you for a walk again, you can count the days and go, even if you finish this matter, you can rush over directly." ”

The prince promised one by one, and everyone was about to disperse, and he and his concubine watched all the ships leave the shore with him, and the prince escorted him and his concubine to board the car. He was still in a fog at this point, Huang Ama was a slap in the face, and he still wanted him to understand that he was not hated, why he couldn't figure out the old man's mind more and more now, but no matter how he counted it, he was unlucky.

The two parted ways, the holy driver went down by boat, the sons left the dragon boat of Huang Ama, took a small boat to Concubine De's boat, the twelfth elder brother continued to patrol around the boat, and the thirteenth and fourteenth went to the mother's cabin, Lan Qi was copying the scriptures, preparing to turn back and sacrifice to the little nineteen, the two sons broke in with the high horse, she was disgusted: "As soon as you get on the boat, I will shake the mountains here, and the steps will be lighter, and Eniang will faint." ”

When the two saw their mother copying scriptures, they didn't dare to be presumptuous, and waited quietly on the side for a while, Lan Qi put down the things in his hand and came over, and said, "I thought E-Niang was going to turn back again." ”

Lan Qi said: "E-niang is old, and the way back is too hurried, and I can't afford to bump it." ”

Thirteen smiled and said: "No wonder the waterway was changed so early this year, Huang Ama is afraid of his mother?" ”

After talking about the nineteenth elder brother, they almost never saw the child raised in Chuxiu Palace, and he had been sick and bad, and the child was gone at this time, everyone just mentioned it, if you want to be sad, you really can't squeeze out any tears. But they won't shout like the prince, and as a result, they will be arrested by Huang Ama, and the prince is also very wronged.

Fourteen said: "We didn't dare to show up, for fear that the emperor Ama would scold the prince, and we would be embarrassed to show our faces." ”

Lan Qi listened quietly, and when she saw her son say this, she couldn't help laughing: "You guys are also starting to grow their hearts?" Anyway, don't do crooked things, and you should have more eyes when you interact with people. As for everything about the prince, there really shouldn't be anything to do with you, he is the prince, you can have the difference between a monarch and a minister. ”

Fourteen sneered and asked his mother, "Daqing handed it over to him?" ”

Lan Qi was stunned, and before she could scold, Yinxiang had already slapped his younger brother on the head and scolded: "Nonsense, if you don't cover it up like this, I can tell the fourth brother." ”

Yinyu looked unconvinced, but there was really fear in his eyes, he pouted and muttered something but didn't dare to say it, Lan Qi was amused for a while, and silently hoped in his heart that no matter how difficult the road in the future is, God will not separate their brothers.

Which emperor of this dynasty did not step on the dragon chair with blood, in the past, there was the empress dowager who turned the tide and supported the young Xuan Ye, but if Xuan Ye is not there in the future, whether she is still there or not, Lan Qi knows her catties, she is not even half a point of the empress dowager, how can she guide the country, the only thing she can do is to raise these children and accompany Xuan Ye for a lifetime.

"E-niang, don't be angry, I'll take care of Fourteen." Yinxiang saw that his mother had a bad look on her face, so he was busy coaxing her to be happy.

Lan Qi came back to her senses at this time, laughing at herself and thinking too much, living a good life in front of her eyes and reconciling the relationship between their brothers is the right way, so she blamed her younger son: "I always say that E-niang is partial to your thirteenth brother, you are so frizzy and ignorant, I am still partial to you?" ”

Fourteen rubbed his head and said, "It's always me who suffers, if Brother Thirteen says the wrong thing, do I dare to greet him?" ”

It is comfortable to talk about jokes between mother and son, but Lan Qi was worried about Xuan Ye in her heart, and the nineteenth elder brother was the pride of his proud fifty-year-old son, now it is gone, even if he doesn't have much emotion, he can't help but be sad, so he thought about waiting for the boat to go to the dragon boat to talk to him when the next place docks, but the emperor is still here to do serious things this time, and then it is the turn of the sons to follow the father, and she, the female dependent, should not go over to get in the way.

After that, it was only after the scattered days that the two had just met, and at this moment Xuan Ye had already dissipated his anger towards the prince, Lan Qi didn't plan to mention it, but it happened that the people below came to tell him, saying that the prince and the concubine had successfully arrived in Beijing.

Xuan Ye said: "I thought that you were going back again. ”

"The sons think so too, but the concubines don't dare to be strong, you see the prince and the concubines are in such a hurry, they are so young, the concubines can't stand such bumps." Lan Qi served tea for Xuan Ye, talking about the prince, and looked at Xuan Ye's face with heart, the emperor really looked gloomy, and when he took the tea in her hand, he said, "No matter how emotion there is, he is also his brother; No matter how humble the promise is, it is also my harem, he looks down on everything, what can he put in his eyes? ”

Lan Qi didn't hear it, and said: "The concubine is still reluctant to the emperor, and she doesn't want to turn back halfway." ”

Xuan Ye looked at her, the words of the two didn't seem to match, but they were actually right, Lan Qi said: "Forget it, the emperor must regret it himself, in fact, others are similar to him, but everyone doesn't say it." ”

Xuan Ye smiled bitterly: "It's rare that there is someone who dares to help him say a word." ”

Lan Qi walked around behind him, pressed his swollen head, and said softly: "The people of Jiangnan are still waiting to see the face of heaven, and the emperor must be happy." ”

Xuan Ye took her hand and held it in his palm, and said with a sigh of relief: "Yes, why should I droop my face, he is not in front of me, I should be happier." Let's take a good walk this time, tomorrow the big ship will dock, I will take you to the shore ridge for a walk. ”
