King Zhu Zhen of Chu and King Zhu Bai of Xiang were standing in the front yard of the palace, waiting anxiously.
This wait lasts for a long, long time.
"No, the person who sent the message has been in there for a long time, why didn't he send us the message?" Zhu Zhen was so anxious that he paced back and forth on the ground, constantly looking into the palace.
Zhu Bai can sit still, his appearance is very delicate among the Zhu family, but his two sharp eyebrows make him look very heroic despite his delicate appearance.
One look at him and you will know that he is a person who looks easy-going but has a strong temper.
"Brother Six, please don't go back and forth!" Zhu Bai opened his mouth while holding the tea, "If we can't spread the word, don't we two have to wait here?" As he said this, he kept looking at Zhu Zhen.
"What do you mean? Just say it. Why are you keeping wincing?" Zhu Zhen didn't understand what he meant and looked even more impatient.
Zhu Bai sighed helplessly and lowered his head. This is a palace, especially when the old man is seriously ill. There are countless eyes around him. Their every move is being observed by others. Every word he says, beware that the walls have ears.
"Old Twelve, tell me!" Zhu Zhen suddenly sat down close to Zhu Bai, frowned and whispered, "Is it..." At this point, he pointed to the sky with his finger, "That person we are not allowed to see
Old man? Did he not tell the old man at all?"
Zhu Bai was startled and said quickly, "Brother Six, what are you talking about?" He lowered his voice and said, "It was he who ordered us to come to the capital as soon as possible. Since he asked us to come, how could he not?"
Let us see the old man?"
Zhu Zhen thought about it and nodded, "Yes, yes, my master told me before I came. Since he allowed us to come, he still has some family affection in his heart. It would be a disaster if he didn't let us come!"
As he spoke, he sighed and shook his head, "Hey, it's difficult to be born into an emperor's family! We uncles..."
"Brother Six!" Zhu Bai put down the tea cup heavily and interrupted Zhu Zhen, "Why... why can't you calm down?" He said, sighing, "We are here to meet our father, you can handle other matters.
Can you please stop thinking so wildly? Besides, we are all flesh and blood, so why are we so... suspicious!"
Zhu Zhen lowered his head, "You don't know a lot of things..." He said, he hesitated, "Actually, I have regretted it in the past two years, but... hey!" He patted his thigh and continued.
He said, "It's too late to regret it! I figured it out on the way here. In fact, our amulet is not the title of uncle, but the title of old man!"
He looked into the palace and said, "If the old man is here, I won't be afraid of any trouble. But if the old man is gone, oh...it will be difficult!"
Zhu Bai was speechless for a long time, then sat upright and said, "What's the problem? We are all sons of our father. The Ming Dynasty has its own laws, how can he still force us to do so?"
"You are still young!" Zhu Zhen said, and became impatient again, "Why are we the only two brothers here, and none of the other brothers have arrived?" As he said this, he stood up again and paced back and forth impatiently.
"Come quickly, otherwise I will feel empty and have no confidence at all!"
As he was talking, his stomach suddenly growled.
I had been running all the way, and when I arrived at the capital, I immediately disembarked and changed my horse, without even eating a hot meal.
"Come here!" Zhu Zhen walked to the door and shouted to the eunuch standing outside.
"My slave has seen the King of Chu reach a thousand years old!" The eunuch was no more than ten years old and had a delicate face.
"Go get something to eat! I'm hungry!" Zhu Zhen ordered, "Don't be too greasy, get some seasonal vegetables! Cut some melons and fruits too, your mouth will be bitter after drinking bitter tea for a long time!"
"Slave, go and deliver the message right now!"
Zhu Bai frowned and stood up, pulling Zhu Zhen, "Sixth brother, you... ugh!" He sighed, "Can't you bear it now? You just said that I was young, don't you think you can't tell the difference now?
Is it serious?"
"I get flustered when I'm hungry!" Zhu Zhen glared at him.
The next second Zhu Bai wanted to say something else, but his eyes suddenly looked into the distance.
Two figures walked slowly. A tall and burly figure walked slowly, grinning with every step. The young man beside him whispered something as he walked.
"Second girl!" Zhu Zhen recognized the person and waved, "This way!"
Zhu Bai was behind and couldn't help but tugged on Zhu Zhen's sleeve and whispered, "Brother Six, this is inappropriate!"
The person who came was none other than Li Jinglong. When he was a child, it was okay for the princes to call him "Second Girl". But now that he is this age, he is now an important minister in the court, and even the prince cannot neglect him.
~
When Li Jinglong heard the shouting, he looked up, then turned around and gave Deng Ping a look behind him that said nothing, and the two of them slowly moved over.
"Your Majesty Li Jinglong has met two thousand-year-olds..."
Zhu Bai turned slightly sideways and received a half salute.
Zhu Zhen, on the other hand, went directly to meet him and asked anxiously, "Where are you going?"
"The old man suddenly said that he wanted to eat the Thousand Layer Sesame Shaobing from outside, so I went out to buy it!" Li Jinglong cupped his hands and said with a smile.
"Did the old man know that we two brothers were coming?" Zhu Zhen asked anxiously, "Didn't he tell us about it?"
"This official doesn't know!" Li Jinglong blinked, and then said, "I still have something to do, so I'll neglect the two thousand years old!"
With that said, he was about to leave.
But Zhu Zhen still stood in front of him, frowning and saying, "Are you being careless?"
As he spoke, he noticed Deng Ping and looked him up and down, "What is this?"
"My brother-in-law, the son of the Deng family." Li Jinglong said with a smile, "He is now the commander of the imperial guards and troops!"
As soon as he said this, Zhu Zhen knew who it was, and looked at Deng Ping again, "Oh, so he is also Lao Qi's brother-in-law!" As he said this, he seemed to think of something, "Lao Qi didn't give you a letter? He
When will it arrive?"
Li Jinglong was immediately displeased, "What does Chitose mean?"
"What do you mean by this king? Let me ask you a question!" Zhu Zhen, who already had a bad temper, was a little anxious. "You are brothers-in-law, so naturally you have a lot of contacts! For such a big matter, he can't say hello to you before coming?"
The old man's seventh concubine, Zhu Su, the seventh king of Qi, is the biological sister of Mrs. Li Jinglong. That's why Zhu Zhen just said that Deng Ping is also the brother-in-law of the king of Qi.
Although the Deng family has lost the backbone that supported the family, the reason why it has remained strong over the years and Jane is in the heart of the emperor is inseparable from Deng Yu's contribution back then. Li Jinglong married a daughter of the Deng family.
The King of Qi married a daughter of the Deng family, and the concubine of King Qin at that time was also a daughter of the Deng family.
"Thousands of years old has already been said. How can King Qi greet his subordinates when he comes to Beijing as a thousand years old?" As he spoke, Li Jinglong laughed, "If the censor hears these words, he will inevitably make a noise again!"
After saying that, he raised his hands and saluted, "I have something to do with you, so please bear with me, two thousand years old!"
Immediately, he limped away with Deng Ping.
"You..." Zhu Zhen stood there with anger on his face.
"Brother Six!" Zhu Bai advised, "Why are you so out of control now?" He said in a low voice, "Sit down for a while and be quiet first!"
"Look at him like that, hum!" Zhu Zhen gritted his teeth as he looked at Li Jinglong's back.
Zhu Bai pushed Zhu Zhen to sit down, "You too, you are so rude. Li Jinglong is now in a high position, look at how you are shouting at him!"
"Humph! He's a jerk now! Forgot that he was like a pug behind our brothers' backsides!" Zhu Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "Who gave him the confidence to be at odds with us now?"
Zhu Bai was speechless. He didn't need anyone to give Li Jinglong any confidence. Just because he was called Cao Guogong, and because he was Li Wenzhong's son, he could give up.
"Hey, don't you think this is a bit too much!" Zhu Zhen said again, "Our son and uncle are waiting outside, and Li Jinglong, a man with a foreign surname, comes in casually. Isn't this contrary to Tiangang?"
Zhu Bai said nothing because he saw another person.
In the second door of the palace, a familiar figure in commoner clothes was looking towards this place with his feet in mind.
As if he noticed Zhu Bai's gaze, the man's figure flashed and disappeared immediately.
"What are you looking at?" Zhu Zhen asked suspiciously.
"Fifth brother!" Zhu Bai sighed.
"Huh? Where?"
"Look at me, look at him, let's go!"
"he...."
"Brother Six! We have learned from the past!" Zhu Bai persuaded with words, "You must be more cautious!"
Zhu Zhen's face instantly turned ugly, and then his lips trembled, "We must never end up like Fifth Brother, it's... I can't stand it!"
"Ha!" Zhu Bai sneered, "Yeah, if you humiliate yourself all day long, you might as well die cleanly!"
