In the late autumn season, the weather is cold, the morning and evening cold and warm fluctuations are greater, Zhu Xingzhan these days to review the excerpts, busy arranging the preparation of blessings, a little careless, suffered from the wind cold, suffering from cough.

At this time, noon had passed, but he didn't even have time to eat a bite of lunch, so he summoned the crown prince Zhu Luoyun and Zhu Luofeng, the king of Qingping, to discuss the matter of praying for blessings in Guangfeng Temple. After the discussion was over, Zhu Xingzhan suddenly coughed a few more times.

"Father, take care of the dragon. Zhu Luoyun said worriedly, wanting to step forward to serve, and his anxious expression was overflowing.

Zhu Luofeng was about to say something, but was stopped by Zhu Xingzhan, "I'm fine, but I'm just suffering from the cold." As he spoke, he coughed a few more times until he drank the next cup of tea.

Zhu Luofeng said anxiously and resentfully, "How did these servants serve so slackly. ”

Zhu Xingzhan waved his hand and motioned for the two of them not to say any more, "The matter of praying for blessings is the most important thing right now." ”

"Father, between the sons and ministers, temporarily cancel the prayer or postpone the day ......"

"Nonsense!" Before Zhu Luoyun finished speaking, he was reprimanded back by Zhu Xingzhan fiercely, "This rule was set by the ancestors, isn't the prince going to break the rules?!" After speaking, he slapped the table again.

"Erchen doesn't dare!" Zhu Luoyun knelt heavily on his knees, causing the serving attendants to kneel on the ground as well.

Seeing this, Zhu Luofeng also knelt down and comforted, "Father is angry, and the prince is also worried about your dragon body, so he doesn't choose to speak." Please read the father's filial piety on the prince, and don't blame it again. ”

Zhu Luoyun listened, his eyes deepened a little. In the past few days, Zhu Xingzhan has been a little disgusted and irritable with his attitude, no matter what he does, he can pick the bones in the eggs. Xu was implicated because of the incident in the Prime Minister's Mansion. But since you start to disgust it, why...

Zhu Luoyun looked up at Zhu Xingzhan tentatively, met Zhu Xingzhan's meaningful eyes, and hurriedly lowered his head, "Father is angry, and his son is just anxious for a while, and he doesn't mean to violate the rules of the ancestors." ”

Seeing that Zhu Luoyun sincerely admitted his mistake, Zhu Xingzhan's face softened a little, "Get up!"

After the two got up, Zhu Luofeng continued, "My father should put the dragon's body first and pray for blessings, and my sons are willing to share it for my father." As he spoke, he looked at Zhu Luoyun intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhu Luoyun's face seemed to be a little ugly. Zhu Xingzhan glanced at him lightly and called, "Prince!"

Zhu Luoyun came back to his senses and hurriedly replied, "The son is here, please ask my father to give orders." ”

Zhu Xingzhan said, "The prince's knowledge, riding and archery and martial arts can be regarded as superior among the princes, but this character still needs to be honed, and some accident methods still need to be learned like your second emperor brother." ”

"What my father taught me was that my son wrote it down. Zhu Luoyun inadvertently raised his head, and met Zhu Xingzhan's deep eyes again, and the doubts in his heart were even more obvious. Means......?

Zhu Luofeng kept his head down slightly, and did not notice the micro-expression between Zhu Xingzhan and Zhu Luoyun, when he heard that Zhu Xingzhan asked the prince to learn more from him, the resentment over the years seemed to have subsided, and he felt a little proud in his heart, but this did not mean that he could give up what he wanted to do.

Zhu Xingzhan didn't say anything, just looked at Zhu Luoyun lightly, and ordered, "The matter of praying for blessings will be left to you to do, the prince must not forget what I just said, and ask your second emperor brother for more advice in case of trouble." Don't be involved with people in the rivers and lakes in private. ”

Zhu Xingzhan said that the people in the rivers and lakes, the two of them knew well, and they probably referred to Li Zifeng, the two of them looked at each other with concern, and said in unison, "The son obeys the order." ”

After the half-pillar incense, the two left the imperial study together, Zhu Xingzhan looked at the backs of the two and sighed silently, during this time, He Sheng had been frowning slightly, Zhu Xingzhan looked at it, and coughed unhappily.

"Your Majesty, the slave is rude. He Sheng came back to his senses and hurriedly pleaded guilty.

Zhu Xingzhan coughed twice, "Have you confirmed your eyes before?"

Hearing this, He Sheng immediately understood what Zhu Xingzhan meant, and immediately replied, "Yes, the cooperation over there is also very good, presumably, he should also understand." ”

"It should be understood..."Zhu Xingzhan's eyes deepened, "I gave him the opportunity, it depends on whether he can grasp it." ”

In the royal garden, the wind and the sun are beautiful, the insects are singing and the birds are calling, and there is a peaceful scene.

Zhu Luoyun and Zhu Luofeng walked together with a rare calm, and the two walked on the cobblestone road, looking from a distance, brothers, friends and brothers. The palace maid who passed by saluted and left in a hurry.

"My father has been working state affairs these days, and when he encounters troubles, the prince should not take it to heart. ”

Zhu Luoyun was slightly stunned, and then pretended to be worried, "I understand, why my father hates me, everyone also sees it, now that my father values the emperor so much, I'm afraid I will have to think about it again." Zhu Luoyun said, looking at Zhu Luofeng tentatively, wanting to catch something from his deep gaze.

Zhu Luofeng also understood that the 'side thoughts' in Zhu Luoyun's mouth referred to the matter of setting up another prince, and the more Zhu Luoyun tried at this time, the more he couldn't show his feet, and then smiled gently, "If you listen to this word, I'm afraid that you and I will cause trouble again." After all, you are the crown prince, so you still have to be careful when you speak. ”

"What the royal brother said is that from now on, I'm afraid I will have to rely on the royal brother to help me. Zhu Luoyun said very humbly, but behind this humility, there was a faint concealment of killing intent, as long as the evidence was conclusive, he could make a move.

"That's nature. Zhu Luofeng stopped, bowed and said, "Don't worry, prince, you and I are brothers." If my brother has something, I, as an imperial brother, will not stand idly by. ”

Zhu Luofeng said this sincerely, if they didn't understand each other, Zhu Luoyun would definitely believe him, but now that he is ready to attack, a subtle smile appeared on the corner of Zhu Luoyun's mouth.

The two chatted casually and then separated.

Next to the rockery, Concubine Yu Shufei looked at it from a distance and said to herself, "They have been much closer in recent days. As he spoke, he looked at Wenyu on the side, "Is this the case these days?"

Wenyu nodded, "Yes, Niangniang." Recently, the prince and the prince have not been as-for-tat as before, perhaps because of the fall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the prince has restrained a lot. ”

"It's a good thing for the prince to be restrained, but if it goes on like this, it will inevitably be put in place, these days you will keep an eye on the palace to see who the prince is dealing with. Concubine Yu said, sighing.

"Yes, don't worry. Wen Yu responded, and then danced with her eyebrows, "Don't worry, Niangniang's cousin is a backer, and he has also helped you get rid of many strong opponents." ”

Before Concubine Yu could speak, a flattering voice came from behind her, "What Wenyu said is true." ”

The two looked back, only to see that the three concubines dressed in different colors came together, and it was Wan Meiren who spoke, and after a few people saw the ceremony, Wan Meiren touched the cui beads on her head and said with a smile, "Now this situation is very obvious, Your Majesty is no more than before for the queen mother and the prince, and Sister Shufei is just around the corner." ”

"Look at what my sister said, hasn't Cuihuan's matter taught my sister a lesson?"

"Sister Shufei is not strange, Wanmei is also kind-hearted, and besides, the sisters are like mirrors in their hearts. It was Jiao Zhaofei who spoke, Jiao Zhaofei was dressed in a bright purple embroidered mopping gown, in her early twenties, and her smile was like a flower.

"That is, even the blind can see this situation clearly, even if the queen bears a false name, what is the use?" Madame Wei echoed casually, "Wanmei has been in the palace for many years, and this can still be seen clearly. ”

Mrs. Wei is Zhu Xingzhan's new concubine, she is double ten years old, wearing a bright lemon yellow dress, her face is like a peach blossom, she is delicate and bright, and she is the most able to make people happy. According to the rank, the position of the lady is above the beauty, and her words are intended to mock the beauty who has been in the palace for many years, and her status is not as good as her own who has just entered the palace.

Wanmei listened, her heart was naturally uncomfortable, and as soon as she opened her mouth to reprimand a few words, she heard a dignified and calm voice next to her, "Recently, the scenery of the imperial garden is eye-catching, no wonder the sisters are so interested." ”

The concubines looked stunned, turned around to look, and saw that it was the queen Wan Xintong coming slowly, Wan Xintong slightly powdered, wearing a phoenix hairpin, wearing the queen's formal clothes, with a calm expression and no smile.

"Concubines, see the queen mother. The concubines suddenly lost their energy, and hurriedly bowed to ask for peace.

Wan Xintong glanced around lightly, exempting them from courtesy, "Sisters don't have to be polite." ”

Wan Meiren twitched the corners of her mouth, "The queen's mother is healthy, and the concubines are also relieved." Before, His Majesty asked Niangniang to reduce going out to recuperate with peace of mind, which shows that His Majesty still cherishes Niangniang. ”

seems to be flattering, but in fact it is a lot of dissatisfaction, intended to remind Wan Xintong Mo to disobey the holy will and go out without authorization.

"Presumptuous!, how can Sister Wan talk to the queen mother?!" Concubine Yu Shu reprimanded Wan Xintong one step ahead.

Wan Xintong just looked at the drama in everyone's eyes, and said calmly, "This palace has been in poor health recently, and the palace is closed to recuperate, but I don't know that Wan Meiren is so good at talking." There is also Concubine Yu's intentions, and the palace naturally understands it. ”

The concubines listened and shuddered unconsciously, they felt that the queen mother came out after a few days of illness, and her temperament was a lot colder, and her eyes were a little less gentle than before, and a little more deep. In the seemingly gentle words, the words are like knives, raising everyone's self-respect.

Concubine Yu Shufei was not a fool, and after hearing these words, her face suddenly stiffened a little.

"Since you are a concubine in the palace, this palace treats you as a sister. Wan Xintong glanced at Concubine Yu Shu and said, "We should serve Your Majesty with one heart, and don't hurt the harmony because of the momentary pain." Do it and cherish it. ”

The concubines bowed again, and said in unison, "The concubines obey the teachings of the queen." ”

Zhu Xingzhan stood under the pine tree not far away and looked at this scene, sighing silently, He Sheng on the side also felt that the queen seemed to have changed her temperament, "Your Majesty, this ......"

Zhu Xingzhan waved his hand to interrupt, his expression couldn't see joy or sorrow, "This is what a queen should look like." ”
