This short sentence made Shen You feel infinitely warm in his heart.
In order to reassure him, the prince made a special promise. This was also a statement that if Prince Zhao persisted in pursuing the small grudge that day, the prince would stand on his side.
Shen You didn't like to talk much, and the excitement in his heart was hidden under his expressionless handsome face. From the outside, he could only be described by four words: "unmoved".
Zhu Yun also knew Shen You's temper and would not care about it. He said with a smile: "You still have to work as an errand, so go back early! When you have free time in the future, come to the East Palace to talk to me often. I stay in the East Palace all day, It’s also quite boring.”
Shen You responded and resigned.
After Shen You left, Zhu Yun closed his eyes to rest.
After a long time, the chamberlain quietly walked in and reported in a low voice: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince is still waiting outside."
After deliberately keeping Prince Zhao in the dark for half a day, he still refused to leave. It seemed that he had to see him today.
Zhu Yun opened his eyes: "Let him come in!"
A moment later, Prince Zhao stepped in. When he saw Zhu Yun, the grievance on Prince Zhao's face almost turned into tears: "Cousin, I have finally met you. I was very angry with that Shen You today. .A mere military commander shows off his power in front of me. I, the Crown Prince of Zhao, have really lost my face..."
Zhu Yun didn't even move his brows, and opened his mouth to interrupt Prince Zhao: "If you are here to complain and complain, then go back!"
Prince Zhao: "..."
Zhu Yun continued calmly: "First of all, Shen You is not just a military general. He is the commander of the Jinyi Guards of the Qi Dynasty. He is a third-grade military general. He is worthy of being ranked high in the court. My father is very fond of him. Trust me, too. Having such loyal ministers and good generals is a blessing to the Qi Dynasty."
"Furthermore, at the border that day, in order to let me rest and recuperate, and to stabilize the morale of the army, he did something to you. There was no personal grudge in it. Because you lost face, you held a grudge against him and held grudges against him. .It’s really narrow-minded.”
"When you meet, with Shen You's temper, you will never say anything. The person who really shows off your power and intends to provoke you must be you. You are making trouble in front of me and confusing right and wrong. Do you think I am blind and blind!"
Prince Zhao was really shocked.
Zhu Yun has been modest and polite since he was a child, and has read poetry and books. Among all his cousins, Zhu Yun has the most outstanding talents, the smartest mind, and the best temper. After being appointed as the crown prince, Zhu Yun never pretends to be a prince.
This was the first time that he was scolded so harshly and unceremoniously.
Cold sweat broke out on Prince Zhao's forehead soon, and his voice lowered unconsciously: "Your Highness, calm down. I'm not trying to stir up trouble and confuse right and wrong. I just... was beaten by him in front of everyone. I lost my face and my heart. The anger is hard to calm down.”
Prince Zhao's attitude softened, and Zhu Yun's voice became gentle: "It's all in the past, there's no need to worry about it all the time. Your Excellency, please let this matter go! Even for my sake, don't worry about it. Let’s secretly embarrass Shen You again.”
Emperor Qing'an's Empress Yuan protected Shen You, and now even the prince is on Shen You's side.
This Shen You really couldn't move.
Prince Zhao felt aggrieved and useless, but he had to force a smile on his face: "Okay, I will listen to His Highness."
…
Prince Zhao stayed for a while and then left.
Zhu Yun talked a lot in succession and became a little tired. He closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep. When he woke up, it was already afternoon. The imperial doctor changed his wound medicine, administered acupuncture for half an hour, and drank another Bowl of soup.
How can I still have the appetite to eat after all this fuss?
The food was brought, but Zhu Yun didn't want to eat it. Yuan Min sat by the bed and fed him personally. He had to eat some reluctantly.
Yuan Min wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief and said softly: "You are not well yet, so you should take good care of yourself in the future. If anyone comes to the East Palace, I won't see you."
Zhu Yun cheered up and said, "You still have to meet the people you should see."
Yuan Min whispered: "Commander Shen, it's just a meeting. What can I say to the Crown Prince Zhao?"
Yuan Min hated Prince Zhao from the bottom of his heart. Two years ago, Prince Zhao held a banquet, and Zhu Yun drank wine spiked with medicine, which offended the beauty Maner. It can be said that Prince Zhao had no good intentions from the beginning to the end.
When the news of Shen You's beating of Prince Zhao's son reached the palace, Yuan Min couldn't help but feel relieved.
Zhu Yun replied in a low voice: "I want to warn him not to think about making things difficult for Shen You again."
Whether Prince Zhao and his son, or Prince Fu, the little tricks they did in secret could not be hidden from the discerning eye. Zhu Yun was a junior, so it was inconvenient for him to be rude to his elders, so there was no harm in teaching Prince Zhao a few words.
After hearing the whole story, Yuan Min relaxed her brows and said, "Your Highness is right to say so."
Zhu Yun smiled silently and held Yuan Min's hand: "Don't talk about you, I don't like him either. But after all, they are cousins. He approached with a shy face, and I, the prince, completely ignored him. However, we are far apart from each other. I know it well."
Yuan Min nodded and smiled.
At this moment, Sister Tang came in with Brother Liang. Sister Tang studied for half a day every day, and learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting for the other half of the day. When she had free time, she came to accompany her biological father. Brother Dong was the future great-grandson, and what he accepted was The most excellent education was given to three tutors. They had heavy workload every day and could not return to the East Palace until dark.
Zhu Yun was in a happy mood after meeting a pair of children, and patiently listened to Sister Tang's words. Brother Liang was not very confident in speaking, so he was eager to interrupt, which made Zhu Yun chuckle from time to time.
After a while, Sister Rong was also carried in by the wet nurse.
Man'er stayed in her yard all day and never showed her face in front of Zhu Yun. Sister Rong would be carried over to greet her every now and then.
Sister Rong is a few months younger than Brother Liang, and is now over a year old. She can walk and talk. Her skin is fair and tender, her eyebrows are delicate, she called "Father" in a soft voice, and then she stayed by the bed obediently.
It's really endearing to be so well-behaved and obedient.
Empress Yuan liked Sister Rong very much. Even Yuan Min treated Sister Rong well after getting rid of her heart knot. She took the initiative to pick up Sister Rong, smiled at Zhu Yun and said: "Sister Rong is very well-behaved, unlike Brother Liang, you are being naughty everywhere."
Brother Liang was unhappy after hearing this, and reached out to pull Sister Rong. He was domineering by nature, and he couldn't tolerate his mother holding his sister.
Yuan Min had no choice but to carry Brother Liang over and put them on his lap together.
Sister Tang was only five or six years old. It was the time when she was clinging to her mother, and she clung to Yuan Min.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Yun couldn't help but laugh. The trace of guilt and sourness in his heart lingered for a long time.
No matter how virtuous and generous a woman is, she does not want to see a concubine wandering around in front of her. When he comes back to recuperate, Sister Rong often comes to pay his respects. This naturally has Yuan Min's tacit approval.
With a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?
