Chapter 36: Traces of the Past
Later, the Shen family lived in Fengzao Palace, which was once the palace of Zhao Guangyuan's biological mother, the former empress LΓΌ. Now that he has walked all the way, he has seen the familiar and unfamiliar temple, and his heart is sad, but his face has not shown a bit.
The crown prince and the king of Qin secretly observed, one was satisfied, and the other was quietly raised.
King Qin still remembered how Zhao Guangyuan, as the prince of the prince, was in front of their brothers. And he was liked by the emperor since he was a child, and even the Taifu who taught the princes and grandchildren to read praised Zhao Guangyuan for how smart he was.
Zhao Guangyuan's performance in the imperial study just now did not look like a person who was willing to let go of his old grudges.
Then the indifference he is showing now, I'm afraid it's just a deep pressure and refuses to show it. It is by no means the appearance of the wind and smoke passing and disappearing with the years.
But even if Zhao Guangyuan had a plan, King Qin only thought that Zhao Guangyuan just wanted to overturn the case for the old man, but he didn't want to think about anything else. He is a down-and-out prince who has just returned to Beijing without being exempted, and he dares to think of anything else.
Zhao Guangyuan doesn't have that capital.
In the treasury of the Yue Wang's Mansion, I am afraid that I am so poor that I can't even pay the monthly money of my subordinates, so what else can I do?
After King Qin figured it out, he put his mind at ease. only told the brotherly love all the way, and talked many times about the time when the brothers played in the palace in the old days.
When a few people arrived at the gate of Fengzao Palace, King Qin and King Chu did not follow up, but turned to Concubine De's Palace. King Jin wanted to accompany King Yue in, but thinking that the queen didn't like him, and didn't want to go to the hot face and cold buttocks, he said that he wanted to see his mother, and only made an appointment to meet at the gate of the palace for a while and left.
Only the prince accompanied Zhao Guangyuan into the palace.
"I've seen the Queen Mother."
"Hurry up and excuse yourself, flatten, and give a seat." Empress Shen asked her henchmen and palace maids to help. Raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Guangyuan.
She didn't notice the passage of time in the palace, but she saw the traces of time from Zhao Guangyuan.
"Guangyuan has done his filial piety for the palace and the emperor in the imperial mausoleum, and he has worked hard. These years have made this palace a good memory. Now that I have returned to the capital, I will live a good life, and if I am missing, I can order someone to return to me. β
The queen said the same thing as the emperor, but there was more warmth in her words.
"Thank you for your care."
Empress Shen saw that he was interested, and nodded with a smile.
Looking at the King Yue in front of her, Queen Shen thought about what if it was the concubine of the Empress Yuan, and what about the mother and son of the Empress Yuan who stepped on her head back then, and now it is not a dead death, a depreciation.
The situation in Beijing and Central China is changing rapidly, let alone ten years. Even if King Yue wants to do something, he can't get people, he doesn't have those connections, he has no money, no money, and no personnel, just like a tiger with a tooth extracted, he is no longer afraid.
It's the two brothers of King Qin and King Chu, who have been happy all these years. Concubine De often argues with her in the palace, but she should tell the prince to take precautions.
Although King Yue is a tiger with his teeth extracted, his identity is there, and I am afraid that some old people are willing to surrender to him, but he can be used for the prince. Empress Shen thought, her face became more and more enthusiastic.
"The prince came to see the palace before, and he often talked about you in the imperial mausoleum, and often thought about you. In the past, it was inconvenient to travel between the two places, and it was inconvenient for the prince to go out of Beijing, but now that you are back, it will be fine, and the prince and I can take care of it more every day. You need to remember to move around more, the prince is busy with government affairs, and he needs more help from you. This palace remembers that when you were young, the first emperor and the Taifu often boasted about it. β
"The mother is overrated. Niangniang and the prince cared, and Yuan didn't dare to forget. If the prince is in need, he will not give up, and there is nothing he should do. β
The Queen nodded in satisfaction. asked him a few words, and asked people to give cloth, gold, silver and other things, which let him out of the palace.
The prince sent him to the gate of the palace, "The seventh brother must be going around the palace, so let's go." Lone also has to say a few words to the mother. β
Zhao Guangyuan arched his hand, "The prince please." Then he turned and departed.
The moment he turned around, Zhao Guangyuan didn't even have a shallow smile on his face.
Fengzao Palace, that is where his mother has lived for more than ten years, and every place there retains the memories of him and his imperial brother...... He and his royal brother were playing in the Fengzao Palace, and the queen mother stood on the steps in front of the palace, looking at them with a light smile, and telling their brothers a few words from time to time.
How warm the old days were.
The queen mother likes plain colors, and the decoration in the Fengzao Palace should be simple and unpretentious, but also warm, and it is the place where he has returned countless times in his dreams. But today, it seems that there is no trace of the old days, and the decorations are luxurious and ostentatious, and even the fruit plates and cups are inlaid with beads and jade.
Except for the plaque of Fengzao Palace, which has not been replaced, there is not a trace of the old days in it.
Zhao Guangyuan felt pain in his heart, pinched his fingertips, and the slightest pain hit.
The other side awakened, and the people who were familiar with the old days were long gone. Empress Shen wiped the traces of her mother's existence too clean. The new palace maids and eunuchs in the palace are afraid that they all think that Empress Shen is the emperor's wife.
The corners of Zhao Guangyuan's mouth sneered.
Queen Shen's family background and appearance back then were not as good as his mother, and she was used to using some small means, and his mother didn't bother to care.
The queen mother was in the palace, and there was never a shortage of princes and princesses in the palace. The emperor now has seventeen sons, nine princesses, and sixteen sons, seven princesses were born when his mother was in the palace.
After Empress Shen became the successor, the palace had not heard a baby cry for many years. In the past ten years, there has only been one emperor's sixteenth son, the eighth princess and the ninth princess.
Eight princesses and nine princesses, one is eight years old, and one is five years old. And the sixteenth brother is only four years old now. If it weren't for the sixteenth brother's mother and concubine, he would not have had a chance to be born. But even so, the mother of the sixteenth brother did not survive the next day of childbirth.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, slow down! Slaves and maids can't catch up! β
Hearing the voice, Zhao Guangyuan's footsteps stopped and looked at the moving place.
I saw a small group running happily with a windmill, and while turning their heads to look, they ran forward, and the sound of laughter and footsteps sounded in one place, which made people smile.
"Slow down." Zhao Guangyuan leaned over to catch the child who rushed towards him, thinking that he saw Changzhi so big back then, and couldn't help but soften.
Zhao Guangji didn't notice that there was someone around the corner for a while, and rushed to his seventh brother at once, until he was supported, he stopped, looked at him with his little head up, and blinked a pair of big sparkling eyes, "Who are you?" β
Milky and milky. Zhao Guangyuan thought of his son, his heart softened, and he squatted down in front of him.
"Guess who I am."
Who is it? Zhao Guangji tilted his head. Those who can enter the palace must be the mother's family of the mothers, and they will come to see the mothers. Which mother did he come to see? This person is so good-looking, Guangji has never seen it in the palace.
"Who are you? Do you know me? This person looked so kind, he was afraid that Guangji would fall and still supported Guangji, Guangji liked him.
Zhao Guangyuan looked at him with a smile, this youngest imperial brother had never seen it before, and he was only four years old this year. He was born after he left, and he hadn't seen himself, and he was afraid that he hadn't even heard of himself.
"Who are you? Let go of our little highness! The palace maid who followed Zhao Guangji appeared and hurriedly spoke.
And another team of people who were surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs were also walking towards this side, "Zhao Guangyuan? King Yue? β
Zhao Guangyuan looked at the voice, and the smile on his face fell.
