Chapter 19, the prince's brother-in-law
Abusing his wife is cool for a while, and chasing his wife in the crematorium has always been an eternal truth. When Xu Ming opened the door of the room, Tang Jinling was facing his buttocks, lying on the window and looking out of the window, not noticing Xu Ming's return at all.
"I'm back! Guess what I brought you?" ......
"It's the delicious food in the palace, and your favorite fried chestnut with sugar......!"
"It's afternoon, I'm hungry, come and eat!" ...... "Goo~~"
Xu Ming smiled and opened the tightly tied bag. The aroma of food flowed down the air into Tang Jinling's little nose, and her heart tickled as if there were a lot of small insects in it.
"Ah, sleepy, sleepy, sleepy!" Xu Ming shouted, threw the bag on the table, and then pretended to lie down on the bed.
Tang Jinling waited for a while, and there was no sound in the room except the screams of her stomach. She turned her head cautiously—Xu Ming was motionless facing the wall, looking like he was really asleep.
She stroked her hungry little belly, jumped lightly from the window, and then jumped onto the table.
Or how can you say that the palace is a palace after all, and the food in the palace is more fragrant than the outside, even after it is cold! Tang Jinling has never eaten such a delicious thing! It is as delicious as fried chestnuts with sugar!
Tang Jinling was eating happily, not noticing that a pair of evil hands were slowly approaching behind him. "Meow!" Tang Jinling was suddenly picked up by the waist and lifted into the air, with the leftover meat scraps still hanging on his beard.
"Ling'er, you forgive me, don't you!" Xu Ming's cheap laughter sounded behind him. Sure enough, this trick is the most effective to deal with the foodie little gluttonous cat! Xu Ming suddenly felt sad for the prince: if he knew a little flirtatious skills, he wouldn't have known each other for so many years, and Chen Yuanyuan still treated him like a stranger.
Tang Jinling struggled to break free from Xu Ming's shackles, but the strength of a cat was really weak in front of people. So she could only express her attitude by not speaking. Then Xu Ming began to scratch her little belly. "Meow meow!" "Get out of here!" Xu Ming laughed when he heard the angry cat meow: "I'm afraid that I won't speak, and if I do, it's easy to do." ”
"Okay, okay, don't be angry, I didn't expect yesterday's accident. Xu Ming sat down and pressed Tang Jinling on his lap, and gently stroked her hair with his other hand.
"I'm not angry, not angry at all. Tang Jinling lay on Xu Ming's lap and "meowed" aggrievedly.
"I was wrong, I shouldn't have brought her back, didn't I have compassion at that time, people are not plants and trees, how can they be ruthless? ”
"You're not wrong, what are you doing by admitting your mistakes. It seems that this is not the case, Xu Ming pondered for a while: "I shouldn't have gone to the palace with her, but the prince asked me to go, I can't help but give the prince face." ”
"The prince asked his brother-in-law to go to the palace to care about me. When Xu Ming heard the sour title of "the prince's brother-in-law", he chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly said: "You don't know, that Chen Yuanyuan, in fact, is in his forties, he is about the same age as my mother, and he is a menopausal middle-aged and elderly woman, can I recognize her as my sister? You must know that menopausal women are very scary, I am deceiving her, she has nothing to do with the prince, and the prince's brother-in-law, hum." I'm telling you that I'm embarrassed to death when I enter the palace today......"
"Then you hugged her so happily yesterday. Tang Jinling's "meow" sound seemed to be fished out of the vinegar jar, sour and aggrieved. "God is pitiful, she hugged me, I didn't do anything!" Xu Ming immediately threw the pot to Chen Yuanyuan, "You see I didn't want her to come back today!"
"Do you still want her to come back?" Tang Jinling began to struggle to stand up, but was still held down by Xu Ming. had to continue lying on his stomach in humiliation: "Also, you obviously hugged her yesterday and patted her on the back, I saw it!"
"And then you're jealous?" "Fart, what kind of jealousy does the old lady eat!" "Then why are you so angry?" "I ......" Tang Jinling raised his head and saw Xu Ming's evil eyes full of cheap smiles.
There are still two days before the Ziyang Sect recruits disciples, but Jinling City is already boiling - Emperor Hongzhi has come to Jinling City. This was the first time Emperor Hongzhi came to Jinling.
Emperor Hongzhi was not the crown prince before, and the prince died of a rebellion half a year before Emperor Xian's death, and Arino history said that the mastermind behind this rebellion was Emperor Hongzhi, and even said that Emperor Xian was poisoned by him. But there is no evidence to prove that in the end, Hongji succeeded to the throne smoothly and became the emperor of this huge country.
Hongji had chosen the crown prince four years earlier, and the prince came to Jinling shortly thereafter. But the prince's brothers did not all go to their fiefdoms. With Hongzhi's own experience, several princes did not move, including Hongzhi's most beloved youngest son: Chen Wang Dongfang Yuntian. This time when he came to Jinling, Emperor Hongzhi brought his third son and youngest son.
However, the third prince Dongfang Yunlei has been interested in the throne since he was a child, but he is obsessed with opera, calligraphy and painting, and went to his Gusu's fiefdom early to be an idle prince. This time when I came to Jinling, Emperor Hongzhi passed by Gusu and specially pulled him here.
Early in the morning, both ordinary people and scholars and monks in Jinling City gathered at the Xuanwu Gate in the north of Jinling. Everyone wants to see what kind of person the legendary Emperor Hongzhi who killed his father and brother is.
Originally, this kind of activity could not attract Xu Ming, and the Xuanwu Gate was very dangerous when he heard it, in case the prince or King Chen was going to hijack something, it was not very dangerous? But it was not enough for the intimate prince to invite Chen Yuanyuan, and he didn't forget to call the "tool man" Xu Ming, which made Xu Ming very painful.
"Are you going?" Xu Ming asked Tang Jinling, Tang Jinling lay on the corner of the bed and didn't reply, and pointed his butt at Xu Ming.
"If you don't reply, I'll take you as a default?" "Don't go, don't go! The prince told his brother-in-law to go, what am I going to do!" Tang Jinling's extremely unhappy voice finally broke out. But in the next second, she was already lifted up by her neck: "I repeat, I'm not the prince's brother-in-law, I'm Tang Jinling's shovel officer!" Tang Jinling suddenly lost his momentum, and said weakly: "Just go, why are you yelling loudly." ”
Xu Ming looked at the towering city gate and towering city tower in front of him, and for some reason suddenly felt a trace of uneasiness from the bottom of his heart. The last time I had a similar feeling was in that ruined temple. "Could it be that this place in Xuanwu Gate is really poisonous?" Xu Ming subconsciously hugged Tang Jinling in his arms.
There were many people at the gates of the city, and there were many monks, but none of the monks dared to fly in the air with their swords, and they would rather be crowded with mortals.
The black-armored guards separated the people from the official road, and the crown prince Dongfang Yunsheng stood in the middle of the official road behind the city gate, next to Shangshu of the Sixth Department of Nanjing and Qian Can, the general stationed near the left of Jinling. And the positions of Chen Yuanyuan and Xu Ming were specially arranged by the prince, just at the front of all the people, next to Zhang Chengli, the commander of the forbidden army. "It also left us the best viewing position, which is really heartfelt. Xu Ming was yin and yang in private.
"Boom~" A low, thunder-like voice sounded, just now it seemed to be in the distant sky, and in an instant, it seemed to have come to the front. A horse team appeared on the official road in the distance. The horse team did not hesitate at all, and went directly into Jinling City. The man at the head wore a white gown, and his face was handsome, and he looked a little like the prince between his eyebrows and eyes.
The man yawned and looked up at the prince: "Big brother, I haven't seen you for a long time." The prince was a little excited, and grabbed the man's arm: "Third brother, why did you come first?" The man pulled out his arm with some disgust, but his face was full of smiles: "Why have you stayed in Jinling for a few years, the shelf is so big, even I am not welcome?"
"That's not it, I thought it was the thirteenth brother who came first!" When the crown prince was chatting with the third prince, the six Shangshu and the general next to him all consciously turned their faces.
In the noisy crowd, excellent hearing is indeed an artifact, he can actually hear the conversation between the prince and the third prince, of course, thanks to the "best viewing position" left by the prince for them.
"I really can't stand Xiao Thirteen's anger, if it weren't for my father insisting on me coming, I wouldn't be happy! The third prince was obviously laughing at the prince for not being able to find a wife, but the prince had no choice but to find the words to refute. The third prince looked at the prince with a distorted face and smiled, and then said: "Okay, don't tease you, I told my father to report first, let you prepare, and my father will be here soon." ”
The third prince and the crown prince stood together, guarding in the middle of the official road, but since the third prince stood there, he didn't stop yawning, and he saw that Xu Ming wanted to yawn.
"The relationship between the third prince and the crown prince is not ordinary!" Xu Ming sighed.
Chen Yuanyuan next to him suddenly spoke: "The mother of the third prince and the crown prince is sisters, and their relationship is like that of brothers. Chen Yuanyuan is wearing a long aqua blue skirt today, painted with a touch of rouge, and there is still only a lone worn-out hairpin on the top of his head. Xu Ming didn't dare to continue looking at her - the little ancestor in his arms had already begun to bite his fingers.
"But they're brothers. ”
"Born in the emperor's family, how can there be any brothers?" Chen Yuanyuan sighed and stopped talking.
"Boom~" is a muffled thunderous sound of horses' hooves gradually approaching, this time the horse team is much more spectacular than before, the accompanying soldiers are all black armor and black robes, surrounded by carriages, in the middle of the convoy is an extremely luxurious dragon chariot, golden and shining, as well as the colorful and magnificent light emitted by the jewelry.
In front of the Xuanwu Gate, the black-armored cavalry spread out in unison on both sides, and then the entire horse team stood still. Only the dragon chariot in the center was still slowly moving towards the city gate.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" When Long Yuan entered the Xuanwu Gate, the crown prince, the three princes, the six Shangshu and the generals, along with everyone present, knelt down together to pay homage to Emperor Hongzhi. Xu Ming was still observing, to see if there would be hidden weapons flying out of the surroundings, but he didn't expect that the people around him knelt down in unison, Xu Ming was stunned and quickly squatted down, mixed in the crowd and didn't dare to raise his head. Fortunately, no one pays attention to Xu Ming's worthless little role now.
The welcoming ceremony was soon over, and Emperor Koji returned to the palace under the leadership of the crown prince. Xu Ming and Chen Yuanyuan were also ready to leave. The third prince came to them unexpectedly. This handsome guy who looked a little like the prince smiled at Chen Yuanyuan: "Sister-in-law is good!" Chen Yuanyuan frowned, curtsied and ran away, leaving Xu Ming alone in the same place.
"How can you meet the third prince and still run directly? The third prince just has no face?" "It's still the same as three years ago, hehe." The handsome guy in front of him didn't blame Chen Yuanyuan, but instead looked at Xu Ming. "Although you are very handsome, but men are also beasts, okay?"
The third prince looked at Xu Ming a few times with a strange expression, and then saw Tang Jinling in Xu Ming's arms, and the eyes of this little ** child were straight: "Yo, a big man still likes to pet cats?" The third prince only touched her twice, and returned her to Xu Ming.
Tang Jinling, who returned to Xu Ming's arms, was stiff, and he had not yet recovered from the embrace of the handsome guy just now. Xu Ming felt very uncomfortable, he didn't need to enter the palace, and he could meet these royal sluts on the street!
"What do you want to do!" Xu Ming looked at the face that was more handsome than him no matter how he looked, very angry but had nothing to say.
The third prince smiled: "Don't do anything, help say something good to the prince's brother-in-law." My brother was so hard, he lived to be in his forties, and he didn't even have a wife. Doesn't it look like you're her younger brother, help say something nice, this prince can fulfill one of your wishes!"
"Get out, I'm not the prince's brother-in-law!"
"Meow!
In the end, it turned out to be Tang Jinling who betrayed the revolution, and Xu Ming felt a deep sense of powerlessness for a moment. He suddenly wished that there were plastic surgery hospitals in this world as well.
