Chapter 128: Prohibited

Seeing his father leaving, the prince was very discouraged when he saw Shen. He stared at his brother.

"Brother, I can't blame me for this matter. It's your servant who is troubled." King De said, "I'm going to my mother's place to pay my respects. You go to the study by yourself." King De left with a big laugh.

"Zhener..." The prince was anxious, "Why am I going out... I promised to go to Nancheng to see..."

"If you can't go today, it's tomorrow." Zhen'er said, "The emperor told you to study... and you can't go out... but if you go to your mother's side to pay your respects, it shouldn't be a problem."

"What's the idea? My mother will definitely not let me go..."

"I am talking about the Empress, and she will not make things difficult for the Prince." Zhen'er said. In fact, this idea is not necessarily correct, but the prince wants to go out, so that's all. If the prince wants to go out, he can go out with him.

"What good thing is, my mother wants to see it." Queen Qian was also very interested in this. Because of the Empress Dowager, the drama could not be performed during this period, and the palace was lonely enough.

"Empress, take Jiaojiao there." The girl from the Wu family was not considered a palace maid in the palace, but was only the official family members raised in the palace. To put it bluntly, she was the wives and concubines prepared by the queen for the princes. Such a girl is not only Jiaojiao, but Jiaojiao is the queen's favorite.

Queen Qian suddenly remembered something: "Shen'er, where is your mother, come to me, your mother will be unhappy when she finds out. Why don't you ask your mother to go out with you..."

"Mother, this is not so magnificent...so conspicuous." The prince said Jianshen. He wanted to sneak out of the door but he knew about this group of people...

"What the Empress said is that, Your Highness, you should go to the Changning Palace of the Imperial Concubine to invite the Imperial Concubine..." Zhen'er said.

Seeing Shen was a little angry, he said, "It would be better to call all the ladies, and Xiao Fuzi went and called Zhong Ying from my palace..."

Queen Qian smiled and said, "I brought it all with me..." Jianshen saw that Queen Qian didn't know her original intention and was anxious. Zhen'er said, "Your Highness, let's forget about Yang Zai's side, take the ladies to go for a walk in Xiyuan."

Jianshen suddenly fell from the sky to the ground, but when he looked at the happy look of the people around him, he had to pretend to smile.

"Be simple, otherwise you won't be able to leave until the afternoon." Queen Qian said, "You guys are ready and come soon."

The queen led a group of people out of Xihua Gate, and Xiyuan was not far away.

"It's so cold..." Wu Jiaojiao said, "Empress, it's really not suitable to come to Xiyuan in the winter..."

"Yes, I forgot, there is no need to spend it here. During the mourning period of the Queen Mother, there is no fun anywhere..." said Queen Qian.

"Sister, why not go to the needlework shop to have a look." Zhou Guifei said, "I have made all the clothes for the New Year, just a little plain... I'm still waiting for my sister to nod..."

The prince saw Shen and was always behind. He was shocked when he heard that he was going to the needlework shop. He looked at Zhen'er.

"Don't try to escape... The queen and the imperial concubine are here..." Zhen'er said.

Jianshen was anxious: "Empress, mom, I won't go anymore. I remember having an appointment with someone..."

"Go..." Queen Qian said, "I know you, monkey, don't want to accompany us..."

After receiving the order, he turned around and left when he saw Shen, and Zhen'er followed closely behind.

"Sister Zhen'er... are you going too?"

"So you are making excuses for me." Zhen'er said, "You are the prince, can you not be protected?"

"Zheng'er, don't make excuses, but you can take it with you... you are not allowed to change your clothes, just leave now..."

"I'm wearing palace clothes..." Zhen'er was anxious, "You are also the prince's clothing..."

"I'm not afraid. I'll take you to a good place... No one cares what you wear there. A good place... but don't tell others..." Jianshen said.

There is another place like this? Could it be in the palace? I have never heard of such a place outside.

The prince took her and didn't run to the Forbidden City. It seemed that this place was in Xiyuan. The water surface of Xiyuan was frozen and there were few people. When they came out, everyone was wearing cloaks.

What is the good place? After walking for more than ten minutes, I bent into a yard and a eunuch in his twenties and thirties came to open the door.

"Crown Prince, you are here too!" said the eunuch, "King De is also inside, and can I listen to the songs in Wan?"

"I just heard that the storytelling is enough," said the prince, "I don't want to see them. Get some food to warm your stomach."

The eunuch took the prince into a room. After a while, the storyteller came, holding a drum in his hand... It seemed that he was wearing a flying bridge and was performing.

"I opened my mouth and told the best jokes. I used to be a corner in the capital, but now I am a slap in my mate... to entertain myself."

The eunuch served very diligently. He not only served the prince to sit down, but also brought a seat for Zhen'er and placed a bowl and chopsticks.

"What do the prince want to hear?" said with a big mouth, "You can also tell interesting things outside."

"Then listen to interesting things!" said the prince.

"Have you heard of the white jade soup in green vegetables?" said with a big mouth.

"This dish is really not a rare dish, right?" said the prince.

"What you eat is different from what we eat. What you eat is cooked with good things, while the smaller ones are ordinary." said with a big mouth.

"Is that true?" Seeing Shen was surprised. There was nothing strange about the cabbage and tofu on this table. He didn't like this dish. To be honest, when he was a child, Zhen'er tasted it.

"How is this... why does this taste?" Zhen'er was surprised.

He smiled wide open his mouth: "Aunt, this cabbage tofu is for the prince, how could it be a normal taste? Originally, Emperor Taizu wanted the prince and grandson to live a hard life and included this dish in the royal recipe. It was terrible that it was not delicious, so he carefully prepared it. This cabbage not only uses cabbage heart, but also uses multiple soups. This tofu is also meat tofu... It is full of good things..."

"Okay..." said the prince, and his chopsticks also came over to taste them. They were so fresh...

"I will tell your highness a story outside, which tells the story of Wang Jiaoluan trying to punish Zhou Tingzhang, a man who is a man of honor. Wang Jiaoluan is the daughter of a thousand households in Wei, Nanyang, Henan Province. She is a child of a history book and can write a writing. Her father is old and Wei Zhong's writings are all reviewed and sorted. One day, Wang Jiaoluan met Zhou Tingzhang, a scholar from Wujiang County, Suzhou. She is handsome and beautiful, and they fall in love with each other. Zhou Tingzhang went to the palace to propose marriage but was rejected. The two of them wrote their marriage letters and oaths on their backs and made a private marriage. Soon, after Zhou Tingzhang returned home, his father decided to discuss marriage for him. When he learned that Wei's daughter was beautiful and rich, he forgot his previous appointment. Wei's daughter passed by. After the family, he passed by.

Zhou no longer remembered Wang Jiaoluan. After Wang Jiaoluan and Zhou Tingzhang parted, they fell in love with him. So he wrote a letter and sent someone to the Zhou family. After seeing the letter, Zhou Tingzhang turned his back and returned the love and marriage documents together. Seeing this, Wang Jiaoluan was so sad that he wrote thirty-two desperate poems and the song "Song of Everlasting Sorrow", which describes her love and abandonment with Zhou Tingzhang. When reading the document, he was entrusted to the official text sent to Wujiang County, and then hanged himself to death. The Dayin of Wujiang County saw Wang Jiaoluan's poems and sympathized with her experience. He hated Zhou Tingzhang's unfaithful intention to stop his wife and remarry Zhou Tingzhang, and beat Zhou Tingzhang to death."

"Open your mouth, you're too disappointed. Can't this make people happy?" said the eunuch next to him, "The prince is here to be happy."

"Reward..." Zhen'er said, "This story is good, just a little bit of polish. Then, if you have time in the future, slowly, people will definitely like it. This father-in-law is not so perfect in everything, and the prince will not be able to hear it. Your Highness, what do you think?"

Jianshen said, "Zheng'er, this dead person... Zhou Tingzhang shouldn't have died, it was the woman who sought death by herself..."

Zhen'er cried and cursed: "Is Wang Jiaoluan Bai dead? If Zhou Tingzhang had not let anyone down, how could she die?"

"Is there such a lovely woman in the world?" Jianshen said, "I have never seen her before... that's just a nonsense of a storyteller."

"Crown Prince, I'm not a fool!" said with a big mouth, "There are more than Wang Jiaoluan in the world."

"It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. It must be nonsense. Then Zhou Tingzhang can marry her as his concubine..." Jianshen said.

"He is afraid of his wife..." said with a big mouth, "This must be afraid of his wife... women are just stingy..."

"You are talking nonsense." Zhen'er was unhappy, "I won't reward you anymore, I'll keep the money to support my old age." Zhen'er took back the silver that had already been placed on the table.

"Aunt, you just can't bear to give up money," said with a big mouth, "I don't care..." Those words were so sour.

Seeing this, the prince took out a ingot of silver and stuffed it into his big mouth's hand: "Don't make Zhen'er angry, go quickly!"

The big mouth retreated. Zhen'er glanced at the prince Jianshen: "Your Highness is so rich, why don't you give it to Zhen'er?"

"Sister Zhen'er... don't be angry, I'll reward you..." Jianshen said...
