Chapter 157: Entering the Palace at Night (3)
Zhang Lingyu and Princess Cuiyu were talking and laughing, when they suddenly saw Cailian push open the door and said, "Princess, the prince is here." At this time, a young man in his thirties walked in the door, and as soon as he entered the door, he smiled and said, "Imperial sister, Cailian said that you have something important to do with me, what is the matter?" It was the prince Zhu Kun who came, Lingyu immediately stood up and looked at the prince when he heard this, only to see a tall figure, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a full heavenly court, a round pavilion, a lofty atmosphere, and an extraordinary finger. The prince said with a smile, walked closer, looked at Lingyu and said, "Imperial sister, this is your hero Zhang Gongzi. โ
When Zhang Lingyu heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Zhang Lingyu, a grass citizen, greets His Royal Highness the Prince. The prince raised his hand and said, "Zhang Shaoxia doesn't have to be polite, please sit down and speak." After saying that, the two of them sat down at the table, and Cailian also offered the prince a cup of tea, and the prince looked at Lingyu and secretly said, "What a handsome young man, it may be that the royal sister has taken a fancy to others and said that he is a life-saving benefactor, so that I can help him say yes." Thinking of this, he took a sip of the teacup and put it down, and said to Lingyu: "I heard Cailian say that Zhang Shaoxia is the savior of the imperial sister, I want to thank you well, I don't know what Shaoxia wants, just say, as long as I can do it, I will never refuse." Lingyu said: "Prince, you are too polite, this is what the grass people should do, and besides, the princess was lucky to be met by the grass people." โ
Shui Yue brought the snacks and put them on the table, and then walked out with Cailian to close the door. Princess Jade picked up a piece of dim sum and said to Lingyu: "Zhang Gongzi, please eat dim sum to see if it suits your taste." Lingyu said with a smile: "The grass people are reckless people in the mountains and fields, and they are used to eating coarse tea and light rice, not to mention your royal dim sum." After speaking, she also took a piece and ate it, and Princess Jade told her what happened to her and how Lingyu saved her. How to take her into the palace briefly said. The prince secretly said: "I didn't expect that Zhang Gongzi was not only handsome. And the kung fu is even more unfathomable. After listening to it, he praised Lingyu a few words.
Princess Jade said, "Gongzi Zhang, you don't want to know what my purpose is, I can sue you now, I just want to ask you to help my imperial brother." Lingyu smiled and said, "The princess is really joking, the prince is under one person, above ten thousand people, why do you need the help of me, a grass people." A trace of sadness flashed on the prince's face, and he immediately returned to his original state, and said, "I'm not afraid that Zhang Gongzi will laugh." Now that I am a traitor, I was born as a prince but I can't do anything. Lingyu said: "The grass people have also heard about it, if the prince really needs the grass people, even if he tells him, as long as I Zhang Lingyu can do it, I will definitely help." The prince secretly said: "I see that this young man is extraordinary, strong in martial arts, very arrogant, on the surface he respects me as a prince very much, but I can see that he does not put me as a prince in his bones at all, how can I let him help me with all his heart, if I can become a brother with him, I will be able to live up to the trust." โ
Prince Zhu Kun said: "I see that Zhang Gongzi is extraordinary and chivalrous. I want to be a brother with Childe, but I don't know what Childe wants. Lingyu hurriedly stood up and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince." This must not be, I am a grass people, how can I be a brother and brother with the prince. The prince said: "Why not, many kings and generals have also been grass people, if you don't want to, you will look down on me as a prince, and you will not want to make friends with me because I am a useless prince." Lingyu said: "Since the prince is so sincere, and Zhang is not a person who does not know what to do, then it is better to be respectful than to obey his fate." The prince said happily: "Imperial sister, hurry up and find some incense and candles, I want to be a brother with Gongzi Zhang." Princess Jade was even more pleased, and walked to open the door with a smile: "Cailian, you go and get some incense candles now, I can use them." Cailian responded and walked quickly.
Cailian found the incense candle and set up the incense case, lit the incense candle and walked out of the door, Princess Jade poured two bowls of wine and put it on the incense table, the prince and Lingyu walked over and pierced the finger and dripped blood wine bowl, and then knelt down on the incense case, and the prince said: ' I, Zhu Kun, swear to the sky, today I will worship Zhang Lingyu as a brother, share blessings and hardships, share life and death, if there is a violation, heaven and earth will be destroyed;' Zhang Lingyu also said the same, mutual birthday, the prince Zhu Kun is twenty-nine years old and the elder brother is the elder, Zhang Lingyu is seventeen years old and younger brother, the two of them held hands and stood up and walked to the incense case, each took the mixed blood wine and drank it all.
The prince said, 'Brother Xian, please sit down here and talk.' Lingyu smiled and said, "Big brother, please first." After speaking, the two returned to sit at the table, Cuiyu smiled and poured tea for the two of them, and said with a smile: "It's okay now, I have another brother, and I will call you Brother Yu in the future." Lingyu smiled and said, "I will call you little sister in the future." After speaking, the three of them laughed, and Lingyu said, "Big brother, if you have anything to help, just ask." The prince said, "Brother Xian, let me tell you about the current situation of the imperial court." โ
Now the power of the imperial court is in the hands of Li Ge Lao and Liu Qi, the chief manager of the Great Interior, and the great eunuch Liu Qi also supervises the Jinyi Wei of the East Factory, which turned out to be fighting for power, since Li Ge Lao introduced Lingfeng Dao Chang into the palace to refine the pill for the emperor, saying that it can make people immortal, plus Li Ge Lao's youngest daughter is currently the emperor's favorite concubine, and she is trusted and reused by the emperor, and her power is greater. The great eunuch Liu Qi saw that the momentum was not right, and he didn't dare to compete with Li Ge Lao anymore, and now the two colluded together, and the wolf bรจi was treacherous, corrupted the law, and brutalized Zhongliang. There are also some loyal and upright people who stand on the side of the prince, but the loyal and upright people have been persecuted repeatedly, some have been killed, some have been mismatched, and some have been dismissed from office and dismissed from office for the people. Li Guifei gave birth to another prince, and asked the emperor to abolish the crown prince several times, but the emperor did not agree, and the emperor responded to Li Guifei's request, and he did not agree to the matter of abolishing the prince alone. After the prince finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and drank a few sips of tea, and everyone was silent for a while.
Although the emperor has not agreed now, who dares to guarantee that there will be no changes in the future, the prince is even more anxious, but he has no way to start. In the evening, the prince listened to Cailian say that today the princess met a young man, and his martial arts were very good, saying that the princess was going to take him into the palace at night to see if he could help himself, and the prince was very excited when he heard it. When he really saw it, he was even more excited, because this young man was not only very handsome, but also able to take a person over the high palace wall to avoid the bright post and secret post of the Jinyi Guard, it is conceivable that the martial arts are extraordinary, the prince in order to make Lingyu die for him, his mind immediately flashed to worship his brother, hoping that Lingyu can become the second Guan Yunchang, and swear not to be the second master.
After drinking tea, the prince sighed and said: "I don't know if my father is really confused or fake, how can there be any immortal medicine in the world, I only heard that there are immortals but no one has ever seen them, and now he ignores the government and politics, and the power is handed over to the hands of traitors, which will bring disaster to the country and the people."
