Chapter 117: Cousin
The prince was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "I am a year older than you, you should call me cousin." In the future, I will call you Cousin Jing. β
In terms of blood, Xu Jing and the crown prince are the same great-grandfather. This natural closeness from blood quickly shortened the distance between the prince and Xu Jing.
Xu Jing was not polite at all, and grinned in response: "Actually, I also have a milk name." I was born in early spring, and my father was overjoyed and gave me the name Chunsheng. My cousin can also call me Chunsheng. β
"Originally, there were only seven people who could call me by my name, and my cousin was the eighth."
The prince listened to it interestingly, and couldn't help but smile and ask, "So I'm so honored." Which seven were you called by your name before? β
Xu Jing said with a smile: "Father, princess, mother, and concubine, the four eldest sisters, and my fiancΓ©e. β
"You're already married?" The prince was a little surprised: "It's earlier than me." β
The first emperor who died was the prince's own grandfather, and he had to keep filial piety for a year before discussing his relatives.
Speaking of Zhao Xiyan, Xu Jing's eyes were full of pride and joy: "She also came to the capital with me this time." When I had the chance, I led my cousin out of the palace to meet my future brother-in-law. β
The prince nodded happily. Just as she was about to ask her future brother-in-law what her surname was, and who she came from, Queen Su suddenly opened her mouth and pulled the topic away: "Your eldest sister and second sister are both married in the capital. Now that you're in the capital, you can meet them. β
Xu Jing responded with a smile: "What Niangniang said is true." I also think about the eldest sister and the second sister in my heart, and I plan to go to see them when I settle down. β
The crown prince smiled and said, "My father ordered the princes of the vassal kingdoms to enter Beijing and study with me. The palace has prepared a place to stay, you come the earliest, you go and choose one first. β
Xu Jing didn't seem to know that this was a fire pit, and grinned: "Then don't think about it, just pick the closest dormitory to your cousin." I've been fun-loving since I was a child, and my cousin shouldn't make a fuss about me when the time comes. β
The prince smiled: "How can this be." I'm usually alone, and I'm feeling lonely. Come and talk to me. β
The prince is sick, and he doesn't talk much on weekdays, so it's rare to be in such a happy mood and talk eloquently.
Not to mention Empress Su, even Emperor Yongming is in a good mood. Before seeing Xu Jing, the murderous intent in his heart was soaring, but now it has eased a lot.
"You're new to the palace, and you don't know the rules of the palace yet." Emperor Yongming opened his mouth and said, "I will reward you with a minion and let him remind you from time to time." β
A feminine-looking chamberlain stepped forward and saluted Xu Jing, with a mouth and a sharp voice: "Slave Qian Yan, I have seen the son." β
It's not a dark line, it's a clear dispatch to keep an eye on him.
Xu Jing suppressed the anger in his heart and said with a smile: "Father-in-law Qian is exempt from courtesy." He also thanked Emperor Yongming: "Thank you for the emperor's grace." β
Emperor Yongming smiled, and his already small eyes were squeezed into a slit by the fat: "There are many servants around me, and there are only a few who can really use them." I will give you the money inkstone, if there is anything you don't know in the palace, just ask him. β
Xu Jing responded yes.
Emperor Yongming commanded: "Qian Yan, you will lead the prince of Beihai to settle down now." β
Father-in-law Qian respectfully replied yes, Xu Jing said goodbye, and left with Father-in-law Qian.
As soon as Xu Jing left, the hall suddenly fell silent.
Empress Su broke the silence with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's the first time that the concubine has seen such a handsome, lively and likable young man. With him by his side, Jun'er can also be more cheerful. β
Emperor Yongming issued an order for the prince of the vassal to enter Beijing, what is the intention, there is no need to think about it at all.
Empress Su opened her mouth and interceded for Xu Jing euphemistically.
Emperor Yongming's eyes flashed, and he said lightly: "I know people and faces, but I don't know my heart, I have to see what his true temperament is." β
The crown prince took over the conversation with a smile: "What my father said is that his sons should also take a good look at him." β
Towards his only son, Emperor Yongming's attitude was much softer, and he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, okay, this errand will be handed over to you." β
β¦β¦
Gonggong Qian led Xu Jing to a sleeping palace, and said with a smile in that uncomfortable feminine voice: "Shizi, this Bixiao Palace is the closest to the East Palace, and it is not a short walk to the tea palace. This palace is also the largest and most neat. β
Father-in-law Qian didn't talk nonsense about this.
In the entire palace, there are hundreds of large and small sleeping palaces. Bixiao Palace is also spacious and beautifully furnished, only separated from the East Palace by a small road.
Leaving the eyes of Emperor Su of Yongming, Xu Jing was not so willing to bear it, and glanced at Father-in-law Qian: "Father-in-law Qian spoke in a louder voice, and this son couldn't hear it clearly. β
Father-in-law Qian let out a shrill laugh, like a hen being grabbed by the neck: "Forgive me, the slave has entered the palace since he was a child, and he is not a man, and he is like this when he speaks." In the future, the son of the world will see more, and he will get used to it. β
Xu Jing turned his head and glanced at the soldiers behind him.
Xu Shiyi comprehended, immediately leaned over, took out a purse from his sleeve and stuffed it into Father-in-law Qian's hand: "This is a little bit of the prince's heart, Father-in-law Qian, please accept it."
There is no one in the chamberlain who does not love money. Ma Sansi is proud of himself, and Father-in-law Qian is really good, and he is also well-known for his greed among the servants. I took the purse and opened it in front of me. Seeing that there was a silver ticket inside, Father-in-law Qian also took out the silver ticket and unfolded it to take a look.
Xu Jing snorted coldly in his heart.
Comparing goods has to be thrown, and people have to die more than people. Before, he disliked Ma Sansi in every way, but now it seems that Ma Gonggong is a decent person.
This silver ticket is not the usual one hundred and two hundred taels, but one thousand taels.
Father-in-law Qian suddenly smiled, and stuffed his purse into his sleeve. The attitude towards Xu Jing immediately became much warmer: "The slave has been in the palace for thirty years, and he doesn't dare to say anything else, and he knows everything in the palace." The rules in the palace are also familiar with the heart. If the prince wants to know anything, just ask. β
Xu Jing stretched his waist and said casually: "These are not in a hurry, I haven't eaten for most of the day in this world, and my stomach is empty." Please ask Father-in-law Qian to go to the meal first. β
Spend a thousand taels of silver to pass a lunch?
This is too embarrassing and too loser!
Even Father-in-law Qian felt heartache for Xu Jing. Soon it was fun again. He was ordered by the emperor to keep an eye on the prince of Beihai, and he could make a lot of money by the way, which is a rare beauty difference!
Wealth can be channeled.
Although it was past the meal, as soon as Father-in-law Qian came out, within a stick of incense, the imperial dining room sent a large food box over.
The diet in the palace is natural and exquisite. Four cold dishes, two meat and two vegetarian dishes, six hot dishes with steamed, stir-fried and soup. There are also several delicate pastries.
With Xu Jing's picky tongue, he also has to praise it.
Eating delicious food, a scene suddenly appeared in Xu Jing's mind.
On the way to Beijing, on both sides of the official road, a group of hungry people who were skinny and dazed. There are also girls who are exchanged and crying......
For some reason, the food in my mouth suddenly felt like chewing wax.
