The queen hugged the emperor and swayed, and kept shouting "emperor"... Everyone present also cried bitterly...

A generation of emperors collapsed, and the second emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Jiong, collapsed in May.

Wang Jien approached, and after making sure that the emperor was dead, he gave one of his subordinates a look, and the subordinate nodded and withdrew. Wang Jien came over and said to a few palace maids: "You help the queen mother, if something goes wrong, be careful of your heads!" A little eunuch came up and asked in a low voice, "Princess, do you need us to inform you of the emperor's death?" ”

Wang Jien said with a sad face: "The emperor died, I am very sad in my heart, and the queen mother is also in pain now." It's just that it's late at night, and now I'm afraid that it's inappropriate to inform the ministers, so let the queen rest for one night and wait for tomorrow morning. It is not too late to inform the ministers. ”

Wang Jien hurriedly went to help Empress Li and said, "Queen Mother, please mourn." Here, leave it to the villain, and the villain also needs to place the emperor's dragon body according to the imperial rites. Now you can only rely on you to preside over the overall situation, please be sure to ensure the phoenix body. ”

Empress Li looked at it, nodded, and was helped away by several palace maids.

After the empress left, Wang Jien ordered someone to place the emperor's body properly, and left in a hurry. On the way back, Wang Jien was alone in the carriage, there was no light in the car, and he said on his gloomy face: "Yong'er, don't worry, I will succeed immediately." When the time comes, I'll let them all go and bury you!" ”

In the early morning of the next day, in front of the prince's mansion, a sedan chair came to the door, and the sedan chair driver carefully dropped the sedan chair. Hanfeng said to the guard, "The labor has been passed on all my life, and Princess Yunkai has visited. ”

When the doorman heard this, "Princess Yunkai", he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "Okay, please wait a while, princess, and I'll report immediately." ”

So saying, the doorman hurried into the courtyard. Xiang Hu said to Steward Hu: "Princess Yunkai is here. ”

When Steward Hu heard this, he said, "Hurry up, please." Then he said to one of his subordinates, "Go and prepare refreshments." Then he said to another servant, "Go to the study and inform the prince." ”

Prince Zhao Heng was reading and writing in the study, and a subordinate came to pass the word: "Prince Qiyu, Princess Yunkai is here, and she is now in the front hall." Zhao Heng was surprised and delighted, and muttered to the woman beside him: "Why did the imperial sister come today?" The woman put the brush in the prince's hand and said, "Your Highness, don't you know if you take a look?" Zhao Heng said to his subordinates: "I'll go over immediately." The servant replied, "Yes." And he withdrew.

Yun Kai walked into the prince's antechamber and sat on the chair on the right side of the antechamber. This housekeeper Hu came to the front hall to meet the princess, stood respectfully beside him, and said, "Wait a moment, the princess is reading in the study." The princess is suddenly visiting today? Without prior notice. The people also greeted the princess. ”

Yun Kai said: "It's fine, it's just that I haven't seen the prince for some days, and some miss him, so I will come and see him when I go out today." ”

The housekeeper Hu asked, "I wonder why the princess went out today?" ”

Yun Kai said: "It's nothing, it's getting hot now, and I want to buy some cool clothes for the children at home." Go out early to check it out. ”

Steward Hu said with a smile: "Wouldn't it be good to leave these things to the next person, why do you need to let the princess choose them yourself for such a trivial matter." ”

Yun Kai also smiled and said: "Steward Hu, don't you know, when there was no Tian'er and Yue'er, I didn't care about these things. But since I had children, I can't think of giving them the best. Now people's vision is clumsy, and there are many people who are full of private pockets, and this greed for profit is just enough, if this clothing makes the child uncomfortable, it will be very bad, so how can I rest assured that they will do these things. The horse is also a matter of working all day to swear to the Jiang League, and I don't want to worry about him, so I will come out with Hanfeng today to take a look. ”

The housekeeper said: "Princess Su Wen is gentle and gentle, and she is really a model in the family." It's a shame to make these old people ashamed. ”

Yun Kai said: "Where is this?" Since you have this prince's mansion, you have always been old to manage, just come in, see this prince's mansion is clean and bright, and the subordinates are also well-mannered, naturally your hard work is indispensable. ”

Butler: "The princess lifts up the villain, and the villain is just doing her duty." ”

After a while, a few maidservants came, put tea and snacks on the table, and Yunkai picked up the cup and drank some tea. He said, "I don't know how the prince came in?" ”

The butler said, "The prince is all right, and he will go to the study every morning to read." ”

"The prince has arrived!"

When the prince came in, he bowed to Yun Kai, and the princess nodded, and then said, "You are quite diligent in your studies now." I remember that when you were a child, you were always playful and didn't like to read, but now it has changed a lot. ”

The prince walked to the main seat in the hall and sat down, and then replied: "There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book. When I was young, I only knew how to play, if I hadn't experienced so much with Sister Huang and Brother Liu, I would still be an ignorant naughty boy now, only knowing how to enjoy alone, but I don't know the suffering of this world. Then in front of the main seat of the prince, he also picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea on the table, and asked, "Why is the imperial sister free to come to see me today?" ”

Yun Kai said: "I haven't seen you for a long time, I know that you are afraid of heat by nature, go out today for Tian'er, Yue'er to buy clothes, and also come to you to see if you also need to buy a few, and I will do it together." ”

The prince smiled: "From childhood to adulthood, it is still the imperial sister who cares about me the most, I thought that after the imperial sister and Brother Liu got married, there was Tian'er, Yue'er, and they had forgotten my younger brother." ”

Yun Kai said angrily: "Who do you think your sister is? The mother concubine went early, and the eldest brother was deeply respected by his father, so he cultivated himself carefully and entrusted him with many important tasks. Only you and my sister and brother have been together since childhood, and you have not been worrying since you were a child. Now, I've finally found the person I like, what's wrong? Could it be that I will be your sister and I will be your subordinate for the rest of your life?! ”

"Sister, what are you talking about? My sister is good to me, and my brother is in my heart. It's just, big brother... Alas... Since childhood, he has been cultivated by his father, but it's a pity, God is jealous of talent, thinking about how powerful and intelligent the eldest brother used to be, that is an example for our brothers, and now... Alas..."

Yun Kai said: "Yes, it's a pity to have a big brother's matter, but it's not you!" ”

Zhao Heng said: "Me? ”

Yun Kai said: "Yes, the eldest brother is crazy, the second brother is gone due to illness, and my father has put all his thoughts on you, you can't let your father be sad and disappointed." ”

The prince said helplessly: "I don't know how." Since I became the crown prince, my father has begun to be wary of me, and he has not told me many things, even recently my father has been seriously ill, and my father has not seen me, and now I don't know what is the health of my father now? ”

Yun Kai thought: Father is already seriously ill, you better go and see him soon.

But he didn't say it, this prince's mansion has a lot of eyes, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be eyeliner, if he says that he knows, I am afraid it will be even more suspicious. Then he said: "What kind of person is my father, the lord of the world, how can such a small illness hurt my father?" ”

"Sister, if you say this, I'm also relieved."

"Just?"

"What's wrong?"

"You said that my father didn't see you, I think?"

"Sister, do you have any news?"

"Where did I get any news from a woman's family, I just think that you were really straightforward and decisive when you were a child, why are you twisting and pinching now? Thinking about it, the uncle, the father and the eldest brother are all vigorous and resolute people, and they have a mighty and decisive style. When you were a child, you still liked to call yourself big with your brothers, not to be outdone?! I see, the way you are now makes my father feel that he didn't choose the wrong one, so he didn't see you. ”

"My sister said it was somewhat... After all, it's not a child, and if you are as reckless as you were when you were a child, you can't do it. ”

"It's not wrong to be careful, but some things have to be learned recklessly. Okay, it's time for me to go too. Zhao Heng got up to send him off. Walking to the door, Yun Kai said again: "It's really hot this day, and it hasn't rained for many days." Hanfeng said: "Princess, I heard that if the weather is sunny for too long, it will definitely rain, and they all say that it is 'calm before the storm'." Yun Kai replied: "It seems that there is such a saying." Then he turned his back to this Zhao Heng, and secretly put a bamboo note into Zhao Heng's sleeve, and said to Zhao Heng: "Then let's go." ”

When Zhao Heng received the bamboo slip, his expression and brows furrowed, but he immediately changed back to a smiling face, and sent it off: "Sister Huang, go slowly." ”

After Yun Kai left, the prince explained a few words to the housekeeper, saying that he wanted to read, and the idlers should not disturb, so he went back to the study. At this time, two subordinates whispered, and one said, "Do you want to report this matter to the prince?" The other said: "I just heard what they said in the house, it's not anything important, it's just an ordinary princess to come to see her brother, the prince has sent someone to explain these days, and now he is preparing for a major event, let me beware of the visit of some ministers in the court, the princess is not a minister... It should be nothing. ”

The man said: "Also, some time ago, we basically went to report the prince's situation to the prince every day, and we didn't see anyone for a while, which made Steward Hu suspicious. ”

Just as the two were talking in private, Steward Hu had already stood beside the two of them and drank: "It's you two again, don't do business, what are you muttering here!?" Why don't you hurry up and clean up the front hall. ”

The two of them were startled, so they hurriedly ran to the front hall to clean up, and did not mention the report.

The prince returned to the study, closed the door, and took out the bamboo slips in his sleeves to take a look, only to see the words "Da Gradual" engraved on the bamboo slips, and his brows furrowed.
