"I'm protecting him." He said, his voice a little urgent.
"How to protect?" Cheng Jiaoniang asked, her voice slow.
How to protect?
How can I protect him?
"Father, it was my child who asked my brother to come and play with me. My brother didn't run around..."
"...Brother, I have been in your palace all the time. When I asked, you said you went out to find something for me..."
"...I asked my brother to play with me, so he didn't memorize his homework..."
"...Brother, don't be homesick. I have never met my biological mother..."
The child's voice kept ringing in his ears, dispelling other people's doubts and speculations, and also warming his loneliness and fear.
Prince Jin'an lowered his head.
Yes, he has been protecting himself. Rather than saying that he accompanies and protects him, it is better to say that he accompanies and protects him. And in the end, he was still hurt in front of his own eyes.
In front of her own eyes, she watched him being hurt, and until now, she couldn't do anything for him.
Protect him?
Prince Jin'an laughed mockingly.
Is this called protection?
"Your Highness?"
A voice rang in my ears.
Prince Jin'an looked over and saw the worried look of the chamberlain, and then he realized that the car had stopped in front of Prince Qing's Mansion.
It turned out that she had already come out from somewhere.
Prince Jin'an got up and got out of the car.
Shouts came from the palace, and Prince Jin'an stood on the roadside, looking at Prince Qing who ran over with the ball in his hand.
Even now, he relies on him to win the sympathy and favor of the Queen Mother and the Emperor.
By relying on him, he blocked the marriage they wanted to arrange for him.
And what did you do for him?
There was a cry from the other side, and King Qing fell to the ground holding the ball.
The servants at the front, back and left hurriedly helped King Qing up.
Prince Jin'an stopped and looked at Prince Qing who started running again.
Favor will gradually dissipate, and friendship will gradually be forgotten. Things that are entrusted to others are never stable, long-lasting, and reliable. If you want to be truly feared by others and cannot be easily harmed by others, you must be strong.
Being pitied by others can bring stability to a clan; being feared by others may be very dangerous to a clan, but who says that danger is not also a kind of stability?
When being pitied by others, people can freely give favors and withdraw favors at will, but if they are feared by others, those who want to treat themselves casually must be cautious and have to weigh the consequences.
That man grew up day by day, and when he came to the throne, he had no favor for him, on the contrary, he only had disgust.
The only thing that can curb disgust is fear.
"Here, prepare a car."
Prince Jin'an turned around and said.
The chamberlains who were waiting nearby looked at him with some surprise.
Prince Jin'an didn't go to play with Prince Qing?
When they heard the car was being prepared, everyone came to their senses and hurriedly followed.
"Where are you going, Your Highness?" they asked.
"I'm going to go to class." Prince Jin'an said, "I remembered that there happened to be a lesson that I still don't understand, so I want to ask the gentlemen for advice."
The waiters looked stunned again.
"Your Highness, then, Your Highness, your homework will probably surprise the gentlemen." One of them whispered.
Prince Jin'an smiled slightly.
"What's surprising? It's not that I have become smarter, but that someone has always been too stupid." He said, raising his hand as he thought of something, "Get the court uniform ready. As a clan member, since I have received the emperor's order
As for the errands, now that natural disasters are occurring frequently and the country's affairs are worrying, I should take up my post to share the worries of His Majesty."
The waiter looked at him blankly for a moment, with a smile in his eyes.
"Your Highness, have those people from outside been brought back?" he said in a low voice.
"No, it's not the time yet. Now that they are here, I can't arrange anything. Let's wait for the opportunity." Prince Jin'an said, "This opportunity should not be far away."
At this time, the career of the noble concubine in the palace was ruined.
"how so?"
She was pacing back and forth, looking worried and angry.
"Didn't you say this is a good opportunity? If you can deal with Chen Shao, will you ask your Majesty to establish a crown prince?"
The waiters hurriedly followed, holding tea bowls and hand stoves and timidly trying to comfort him.
"What's the result?"
The imperial concubine stood and touched her palms and said.
"In the end, Chen Shao didn't fall. The prince didn't ask for his throne. Instead, he avoided his crime and went home!"
"My dear, my dear, please be patient. Your servant will be fine."
"Yes, empress, this is just to avoid the limelight temporarily."
"Your Majesty will not really punish the palace attendants severely."
When the stopped eldest prince heard this, he curled his lips and turned around.
"Tell the queen that I've been here and I'm going to study now," he said.
The waiters hurriedly responded and bowed to see him off.
"I don't know what she is worried about all day long?"
The eldest prince whispered as he walked into the study.
"Who falls, who escapes the crime, what does it have to do with me? I am both the eldest prince and my father's only prince. How can this prince's position belong to someone else?"
The valet nodded in agreement.
"Ms. Chen is here."
The waiter's announcement came from outside the door. The eldest prince stopped joking and sat down solemnly, watching Chen Shiba Niang enter the door and saluting each other.
"Ms. Chen, I heard people say that Mrs. Cheng's handwriting is the best in the world." The eldest prince looked at what she was thinking and said, "But she is not willing to teach me."
Chen Shiba Niang smiled slightly.
"Your Highness, Your Highness does not need to write the best calligraphy in the world." She said, "What Your Highness has to do is to let people in the world live and work in peace and contentment, so that people in the world can be safe and smooth, and let more people in the world write better calligraphy.
"
The world is in his hands, which is really exciting.
The eldest prince said oh, nodded with a slight smile, touched his sleeves and raised his hand.
"Ms. Chen, please," he said.
Chen Shiba Niang bowed and saluted, walked to her desk and put pen to paper.
This time, the celestial sign made some people in the court happy and others sad, and it also somewhat lightened the festive atmosphere among the people as they entered the twelfth lunar month.
There were only two people sitting in a restaurant five miles outside the city gate, drinking together.
"What does it portend?"
One of the men sneered.
"It indicates that the gentleman has not advanced in the court and the villain has not retreated."
"Kuanzhi, please stop talking."
Lu Zheng put down the wine bowl and looked at him with a hint of warning.
"Don't think this is your chance. If you dare to take this opportunity to say that she is a villain and a disaster, it will be really hopeless."
Feng Lin said nothing, holding the wine bowl with a dull expression.
"Advance while taking advantage of the trend, retreat against the trend, be patient, you have learned to speak, but you still haven't learned not to speak." Lu Zheng said with a sigh.
I learned to speak from her, but three years later, it was she who made me unable to speak again.
Feng Lin held the wine bowl, his expression finally changed.
"I'm seeing you off today, let's not talk about it." Lu Zheng saw it and said hurriedly, pointing to the grilled meat in front of him, "Come on, try this. You left Beijing three years ago and haven't tasted it for many years. I haven't waited for you when I came back this time.
I'll travel with you for wine, and we'll have to part ways again."
But this time when I go, I don’t know when I will see you again.
Lu Zheng suddenly sighed, remembering that he was sent off like this some time ago, and it was even worse than Feng Lin.
The emperor gave a high-ranking official a release, but did not want his life. However, he was clearly driven to the land of Nanzhu by Gao Lingbo and never returned.
At that time, he was also being sent off. No one could understand the anguish and fear in his heart, but when he raised his head and looked outside, everything changed at that glance.
His life suddenly changed.
Resurrection from the dead.
It's that woman.
It can make people live, and it can make people die, and it can also make the same person die.
Lu Zheng glanced at Feng Lin, who was holding the wine bowl, and then at himself. He felt mixed feelings in his heart. He couldn't help but turn to the outside of the restaurant again, his expression changed, and he stood up suddenly.
"What's wrong?" Feng Lin asked, and as he looked outside, his expression changed.
Several horses and a carriage came rushing from the direction of the capital. Men and women also stopped in front of the door. A maid helped a woman out of the carriage. In the winter, she just got off the carriage without wearing a hood, and her face was exposed.
.
Although the sun is sunny, the wild wind in winter makes people's faces hurt.
"Jiaojiao."
Mr. Zhou dismounted and said.
"You just wait here. There is no need to pick them up ten miles away. It's a cold day. They are comfortable and leisurely walking and resting wherever they want. They just came to Beijing now to celebrate the New Year."
While he was talking, he looked towards the restaurant and met Feng Linlu's eyes, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Let's go, this restaurant has been sat by this unlucky person, so you can't enter." He immediately shouted loudly, "Let's go quickly, even if we sit on the ground in the open air, we can't be contaminated with bad luck!"
Feng Lin stood up.
"Kanzhi."
Lu Zheng stretched out his hand to stop him, but it was still a step too late. Feng Lin raised his feet and walked out.
Mr. Zhou's yelling didn't make Cheng Jiaoniang turn around and get in the car. She just stood firmly where she was.
"Ms. Cheng, may I ask how you can see this phenomenon of eclipsing the sun and the moon?"
Feng Lin said, pointing to the sky with a solemn expression.
Mrs. Cheng, I would like to ask you what this strange phenomenon of eclipse of the sun and moon is like?
This is simply a naked insult.
As soon as he said this, Lu Zheng, who followed closely behind, couldn't help but put his hands up to cover his face.
Mr. Zhou made a sound.
Banqin is also a color change of Qi.
I thought that Feng Lin felt guilty after standing in front of the door that day, but he didn't expect to treat his wife like this.
"You are self-aware," Cheng Jiaoniang said.
As soon as these words came out, Feng Lin's expression changed.
Mr. Zhou laughed heartily.
"You!" Feng Lin took a step forward.
"Kuanzhi." Lu Zheng stopped Feng Lin from speaking, and then saluted Cheng Jiaoniang, "Lu Zheng has met the lady."
Cheng Jiaoniang returned the courtesy, turned around and got into the car.
Mr. Zhou followed hurriedly, glared at Feng Lin and spat again.
"Kuanzhi." Lu Zheng pulled Feng Lin, who still wanted to follow, "Kuanzhi, you are too harsh."
Feng Lin was silent, looking at the woman who had already sat in the car.
"...it's bad luck. Even if he leaves, it's bad luck. If you meet him and talk to him, it's bad luck..."
"Go quickly, go quickly, drive the car more steadily, don't scare the lady anymore..."
Master Zhou's voice came out loud and small, and he put his hands on his hips, making the group look a little flustered.
This is the woman's uncle, but he seems to be a follower.
"Man is not human, the relationship between humanity and heaven is upside down, and heaven is out of order. If this girl doesn't go, she will definitely bring trouble to the court." He said slowly.
Lu Zhengzheng subconsciously reached out to grab his arm, but Feng Lin avoided it.
"Feng Lin." Lu Zheng shouted urgently.
However, Feng Lin did not rush towards the Zhou family's horse again as he thought. Instead, he turned around, walked towards his own horse, and got on it.
"Kanzhi." Lu Zheng stepped forward with a complicated mood.
"Brother Lu." Feng Lin handed over his hand on the horse, "Serve the country and the people and never forget the original intention. Feng Lin bids farewell."
Lu Zheng held up his hands and watched Feng Lin turn the horse's head.
Cheng Jiaoniang's carriage and horses were also starting to move forward over there, and Feng Lin took a look.
People with different paths do not seek each other.
He cupped his hands toward the other side, raised his hand and waved his whip, and he passed by Cheng Jiaoniang and his entourage.
Mr. Zhou sighed again at Feng Lin's back.
"If you are ungrateful and deceitful, your Majesty should behead him as a punishment from God," he said.
The sound was loud enough to be heard by Cheng Jiaoniang in the car.
He raised his head and looked at Feng Lin's retreating figure, and saw a group of carriages and horses approaching in a chaotic manner.
"Sir, it's Mr. Cheng who's here." A boy recognized a familiar face among them and said loudly.
Mr. Zhou sighed again.
"It's just the right time. The chaos and bad luck are over, and they can enjoy the results freely." He cursed, "God is so blind."
Although the accusation against Mr. Cheng Er is still there, Feng Lin has been driven out, and he has used the stone bullet, not to mention the saying that the speaker has no intention, the listener has the intention hanging above his head, who can guarantee that he will not be
This woman bites back?
Therefore, after Cheng Er came to Beijing, he only needed to go to Dali Temple to go through the motions, either confess his guilt or simply blame others, such as someone at the post station, and finally give him a gentle reprimand to decide whether he should be promoted or not.
It’s time to get rich or get rich.
Who allowed me to give birth to a good daughter!
Mr. Zhou cursed twice again and looked at the approaching carriages and horses.
"Qiniang, look, that's the capital city." Mrs. Cheng Er raised the car curtain and pointed outside and said with an excited look on her face.
Cheng Qiniang lay in front of the car window and looked out. A huge city loomed ahead in the dusty winter sky. The cold wind on her face offset her excitement.
"Mom, I'm freezing to death. My face is about to be bruised." She shouted, reaching out to caress her face.
Mrs. Cheng Er held her in her arms, and the children on the other side crawled over and squeezed into their mother's arms.
"What are you afraid of? We are going to Beijing, Qiniang. The rouge creams in Beijing are the best in the world. You will have whatever you want by then. Mother will definitely raise you like a fairy." She smiled.
Like a fairy, Cheng Qiniang smiled happily.
The mother and son looked outside the car and saw a group of people approaching.
"Look, your sister has come to pick us up." Mrs. Cheng Er said happily.
elder sister..
Cheng Qiniang curled her lips and looked out reluctantly.
The woman on the carriage did not appear, and the leading man was smiling at his father, who was riding in front of him.
"You guys are walking really slowly." Mr. Zhou said, "I thought I wouldn't be able to catch up with the sacrifice to the stove."
Mr. Cheng Er snorted.
"My children are young, so traveling in winter is difficult." He said, "I can't compare to the comfort you have in the capital."
Enjoy peace of mind?
Mr. Zhou wanted to curse loudly.
They almost lost their heads in the capital! It's all your fault!
Looking at Mr. Cheng Er, who was wearing a fine mink coat and showed no signs of hard work on the journey, but his face was glowing, and it was obvious that he was extremely comfortable along the way, Mr. Zhou gritted his teeth.
Okay, then let you enjoy our comfort too!
Thinking of this, Master Zhou suddenly raised his hand and pointed fiercely at Master Cheng, who was looking forward with a somewhat dignified look.
A scream rang out in the procession of relatives who had just met and whose eyes were filled with tears.
Mr. Cheng Er was slapped by Mr. Zhou, who was a martial artist, and was knocked off his horse.
The horse neighed in fright.
Mrs. Cheng Er screamed when she saw this scene.
"I'll beat you for corrupting the imperial court and betraying the emperor's favor!" Mr. Zhou raised his eyebrows and yelled. He was as steady as a rock in the chaos. He stretched out his hand and said, "Tie him up! Escort him to the Yushitai!"
Cheng Qiniang looked at the man who was rushing toward her father fiercely, her ears filled with her mother's screams, and then she looked at the looming city in front of her. Her eyes finally fell on the carriage opposite. It was always peaceful and calm, and no one came out.
But the drooping car curtain turned into a dark hole in Cheng Qiniang's eyes, as if a man-eating beast would burst out of it at the next moment.
Beijing is so scary.
Cheng Qiniang covered her ears, closed her eyes and screamed.
