The most rare thing in this world is to have a heart and be sincere.
Even the emperor who owns the world cannot deny this.
"This is my true intention, and it is also the true intention that I have been taught by Your Majesty for so many years."
Prince Jin'an leaned over and said.
"This is also the filial piety I owe to my sixth brother."
The emperor nodded.
"Go and have a look at the queen's place," he said slowly.
That is someone who also desires this filial piety, even if there is a replacement.
The Prince of Jin'an County responded yes.
When he walked out of the emperor's palace, night had already shrouded the imperial city. Bright lanterns were lit, and the servants in front and behind also held lanterns, respectfully and carefully guiding him.
Prince Jin'an stood on the steps and looked at the palace gate in the distance.
He stretched out his hand and twirled his fingers, as if calculating something.
"What are you doing, Your Highness?" a chamberlain standing behind asked in a low voice.
"Calculate the days." The waiter next to him said slowly, with a bit of sadness in his voice.
"What day is it?" the waiter asked in confusion.
The waiter next to him did not speak, but looked at the young man standing by the steps.
Count the days when you are leaving the palace, the days when you are free...
November 18th, today is a day that they have counted on their fingers many times, looking forward to that day. They missed it last year, they missed it this year, and they may miss it in the future.
"Go back to the palace."
The young man's voice sounded low, and the man turned around and strode inwards. The cold wind was strong and the night was dark.
Entering November, the twelfth lunar month is here in the blink of an eye, and the new year is coming again.
The atmosphere of the New Year's Eve in the palace is more intense this year because the emperor is in a good mood and his health is improving. Compared with last year when the atmosphere in the palace was depressed due to the injury of the second prince, everything seems so joyful this year.
When the imperial concubine and the eldest prince walked to the door of the Queen Mother's Palace, they heard laughter coming from inside. In addition to the Queen Mother's laughter, there was also a strange laughter.
The eldest prince frowned.
"I'm not going." He turned around and left.
The imperial concubine stretched out her hand to hold him.
"Prince Qing is here, why are you hiding?" she said with raised eyebrows.
"I'm not hiding, I just don't like seeing him." The eldest prince said impatiently, "I still have a lot of things to do, and I don't have time to play with a fool."
After saying that, he ignored the imperial concubine and walked away.
The imperial concubine called out several times but had no choice but to give up.
"Fourth brother is becoming more and more disobedient," she said.
"Your Highness, your Majesty is becoming more and more assertive." The chamberlain beside him said with a flattering smile, "I heard yesterday that he dared to argue with the senior ministers in the court."
A mother is always proud of her son, and the imperial concubine smiled.
As the Imperial Concubine walked into the palace, the Queen Mother personally fed King Qing a mouthful of soup, but she only ate half of it and spilled half of it, which was enough to make the Queen Mother very happy.
"Wei Lang, look, does Sixth Brother recognize the Ai family?" she said happily.
It's strange that she recognized him. The imperial concubine snorted in her heart, looked at the child with a silly smile on his face, and stepped forward with a smile.
"The empress has been guarding His Highness Prince Qing every day, so Prince Qing will naturally recognize you," she said.
The prince of Jin'an County saluted the noble concubine and then asked Prince Qing to leave.
"Sit here for a while longer. What are you doing in a hurry? I haven't seen you for a long time." The imperial concubine said.
Prince Jin'an smiled and said goodbye, pulling Prince Qing out.
"I'm not afraid of scaring you," the Queen Mother said.
The King of Jin'an County almost never left the palace except for the occasional visit to the Queen Mother. Even when he came to the Queen Mother, as soon as he heard other concubines and princesses coming to pay homage to the Queen Mother, he left immediately.
"How can I be afraid? Please don't accuse me wrongly," the imperial concubine said, and then talked about some things about the New Year. Seeing that the queen mother was in a better mood, she asked tentatively, "... During the Chinese New Year, Prince Jin'an's palace outside is also open.
Fix it up…”
Before she finished speaking, the Queen Mother frowned.
"What are you repairing? He won't go out to live." The Queen Mother said directly.
"Your Majesty, the Prince of Jin'an County is already eighteen years old during the Chinese New Year." the imperial concubine reminded.
"What happened to eighteen? What happened when Prince Ping lived in the palace until he was thirty?" The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and said, "Who is talking behind your back?"
"No, no." The imperial concubine hurriedly lowered her head and said, "I have good intentions."
The Queen Mother snorted.
"Not to mention that he just came back, but Prince Qing can't live without him, and the Ai family won't let him go out to live," she said.
There was a crisp sound, and a jade dish was broken in front of the imperial concubine. The maid outside the door immediately stepped back a few steps, guarding the door to prevent anyone from approaching.
"You said Prince Qing can't live without him? Why can't he live without him? With so many people, why can't they take care of a fool?"
"Your Majesty, be careful what you say!" Gao Dianyuan said with a serious face.
The imperial concubine fanned her hands to dispel the sullenness in her heart.
"I think the empress may have other thoughts when keeping him in the palace. Now that the emperor is getting better, she is thinking about adding a grandson. She doesn't even look at how long it took for the emperor to get better, so she just keeps those things.
Even if the concubine is sent to him, he won't be afraid of destroying the dragon's body!" She lowered her voice and complained, "Even if someone is really pregnant, would it be nice to spread the word? Prince Jin'an is already eighteen years old this year! This is the child of another family.
I’m old enough to be a father! When the time comes…”
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Gao Dianyuan listened more and more and couldn't stand it anymore. He raised his eyebrows and shouted, "You don't want your life, how can you say this!"
"If I don't say it, someone will say it sooner or later." The imperial concubine said with a snort. She didn't dare to say anything anymore and picked up the marigold to drink tea.
Gaodianyuan let out a breath.
"Actually, why is the empress so anxious? It doesn't matter whether he is in the palace or outside the palace now." He said, "Accompanying Prince Qing to do everything personally made me deeply moved by the emperor and the queen mother. I gained and lost, just like
As the empress said, the county prince is now eighteen years old. He is neither good at writing nor good at acting, but he is good enough for Prince Qing. Could it be that the empress is still worried about these two losers? That is really looking down on them."
The imperial concubine breathed a sigh of relief.
"Of course I know this." She said, relying on the facts, "It's just that I felt uncomfortable when I saw the King of Jin'an County. His eyes were like a poisonous snake, with a cold light all the time.
The thought of him staying in this palace makes me uneasy day and night."
As the saying goes, a suspicious neighbor steals an ax, a cup, a bow, a bow, and a snake's shadow. If you have something in your heart, you will naturally look at others differently.
Gao Dengyuan shook his head. Of course he couldn't say this sentence. Not only that he couldn't say it, but he would keep it in his heart for the rest of his life and never think of it again.
He twirled his beard and pondered, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"The prince is already eighteen years old this year." He said, "If you delay other things, it's not good to delay the important matter of marriage. It's not good to still live in the palace after getting married."
The imperial concubine was also overjoyed when she heard this.
"Yes, it's time for him to get married." She said, feeling a little frustrated here, "I'm afraid the emperor and the queen mother would not want to ruin his luck in giving birth to a child."
Gao Danyuan shook his head and smiled.
"You can't say that. The emperor and the queen mother are also compassionate." He said, "The prince has done so much for His Highness Prince Qing. Do the emperor and the queen mother really want him to be Prince Qing's wet nurse for the rest of his life? He himself has no idea.
Personal care is really pitiful."
The imperial concubine nodded slowly when she was reminded, and the smile on her face became stronger and stronger.
That's right, he's just a young man. It's time to find someone to take care of him. The most caring people in the world are only husband and wife.
The crackling sound of firecrackers could be heard from time to time on the street. A group of children ran over laughing and laughing. Cheng Silang hurriedly stepped aside.
The road under our feet was newly built and paved with stones. Although it had snowed a few days ago, there was no mud on the ground.
Although this was not the first time he came to Nancheng when he returned home, he was still surprised.
Why does this journey to the south seem to change every day?
But considering it was the lady who did it, it's not surprising.
A weak woman actually has three properties in the capital. She can do this kind of thing, and there is nothing else she can't do.
The sound of horses behind me was accompanied by the laughter of children.
"The chief steward is back. The chief steward is back."
Seven or eight children, large and small, were jumping up and down a horse, which did not make the man on the horse, who was wrapped in fur and hat and looked like a wealthy gentleman, impatient at all.
"Go and buy some candy." He waved his hand and said.
The boy leading the horse immediately took out a handful of money from the money bag at his waist and gave it to the children. The children ran away laughing and cheering.
Manager Cao spent a lot of money and became famous in Jiangzhou Prefecture within half a year.
It's not so much generosity as it is a waste of money. He dares to spend whatever he should and shouldn't spend.
Money is used to waste money, this is the mantra of this manager Cao.
It's not that you don't feel bad if your own money is wasted. Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng have both said this more than once. Although the two sisters-in-law don't speak, they have the same view on this matter.
Thinking of his mother and aunt, and the current situation of two families in the family, Cheng Silang couldn't help but sigh. His brothers and sisters in the family, including his mother and aunt, all unanimously said that everything today was caused by Cheng Jiaoniang, and how vicious and rebellious she was.
People, Cheng Silang felt a little ridiculous. Is the Cheng Jiaoniang they talked about the same person as he knew?
The Cheng Jiaoniang he knew was dignified, beautiful, generous, gentle and courteous. She was simply the best girl in the world...
Thinking of this good girl, Cheng Silang couldn't help but smile, but then he felt a little sad and looked ahead.
Where did this good girl go? It’s really worrying for a woman to be out alone for so long. (To be continued)
