Although he came silently, after the scene at the city gate, the news of the sixth prince's entry into the capital spread like wildfire.
However, compared to other princes, the sixth prince obviously did not arouse much interest from the public.
The little prince who had been ill for a long time and had never appeared in front of others was brought in. It was all speculation that he would die. He could not be with the emperor during his lifetime, and he would definitely be buried near the capital after his death. A new imperial mausoleum has been selected outside the city.
The sixth prince can be buried directly.
The concubines in the palace were also curious, and their attempts to visit were all rejected. It was not until four days later that the emperor called everyone here. The concubines, princesses, princes, the prince, and the little princess and the prince filled the whole room.
"The imperial doctors spent a lot of effort to get His Highness to wake up." Eunuch Jinzhong raised his sleeves to wipe his tears, "It was really dangerous."
But it seems that there are not many imperial doctors needed. The concubines, princesses and princes in the room looked a little sad, but more puzzled. The court judged that the imperial doctor Zhang had not passed. The imperial doctor Zhang recommended himself, but was rejected by the emperor, "No need.
It’s not a disease, it’s a congenital deficiency, so he can just take some tonics.”
The emperor coughed: "Okay, let's not talk about any of this. Let's take the time to meet him when he wakes up."
After hearing these words, everyone's expressions became more complicated. You look at me and I look at you. So, as expected, the Sixth Prince doesn't have much time?
Two young eunuchs pulled up the curtains in the side hall, and a bed appeared in front of everyone. Lying on the bed was a young man wearing white clothes. It was obvious that they knew that many people were visiting outside. When the curtains were opened,
At that time, he sat up.
I don't know if it was because he was slow to get up or because everyone's eyes were frozen, but the young man's movements in front of him were elongated, his waist was flexible, and his simple movements of getting up were like dancing.
He sat up straight, put his hands on his knees, looked at everyone upright, and smiled.
"Empress, brother, sisters," he said, "Long time no see."
There are not many beauties in the palace, but they are not without them. However, when they first saw this person, everyone was still stunned until a shout came out.
"Brother Six!" Princess Jin Yao shouted, squeezing over to Chu Yurong, standing in front of him, and started crying.
Chu Yurong looked at her and sighed: "It's Jin Yao. She's grown so big that I can't even recognize her."
Princess Jin Yao seemed to be choked by tears. She stopped crying, coughed and said, "Then take a good look and remember it carefully."
Everyone else also came to their senses and were convinced that this handsome and outrageous young man was the Sixth Prince Chu Yurong.
The young man didn't think so. Concubine Xu and other concubines also remembered it, and vaguely saw on Chu Yurong's face the palace maid who was favored by the emperor for her beauty——
"Ayu." The prince stepped forward and called him softly, sizing him up. "I don't recognize you anymore. You are much more energetic than in the past few years."
Chu Yurong raised his sleeves, coughed twice, and called out to the prince's brother: "You are much thinner than before. It must be very hard."
The prince smiled generously: "It's not hard."
"Ah Yu." The second prince followed closely, feeling pleased and excited, "Okay, okay, just come."
The third prince looked at Chu Yurong and smiled: "I am your third brother Xiu Rong. My body is healed." He stepped forward and stretched out his hand.
Chu Yurong looked at him and smiled: "Congratulations, third brother, I heard." He reached out and held the third prince's hand.
The third prince looked at the hands held together and smiled at the young man: "I give you my good luck."
Chu Yurong smiled and thanked him.
"Hey, if that's the case, third brother, you shouldn't send that Qi Nu away." The fourth prince shouted, "Let her cut her flesh again and she can cure the sixth brother."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" the emperor yelled outside, "Are Axiu and Ayu in the same physical condition?"
One was poisonous and the other was born weak. They were indeed different. Moreover, the emperor didn't like others mentioning the third prince's illness. The fourth prince shrank his head and stopped talking.
Concubine Xu quickly changed the topic: "Xiaoyu, the longer he grows, the more beautiful he becomes. He is just like his mother and concubine back then."
The maid who was favored by the emperor for her beauty was very sick. The emperor wanted to give her all the tonics in the imperial hospital, but it was no use.
This is all fate.
Chu Yurong smiled. Princess Jin Yao was unhappy at the side and said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Ms. Xu, is the third brother more like you or the emperor?"
The third prince is also in poor health, like Concubine Xu, but Concubine Xu is not as good as the emperor. Isn’t it because the emperor didn’t take good care of the third prince? Concubine Xu was stunned when she was told that, and she was a little surprised. Although Princess Jin Yao was because of the emperor and empress,
Doting and pampering, but never so aggressive.
She just teased a prince who would be forgotten by everyone. Is Princess Jin Yao defending him?
She always thought that Princess Jin Yao and the third prince were closer, why?
Concubine Xu smiled lightly, her eyes turning on Princess Jinyao and the Sixth Prince.
"No matter who we look like, we are all our father's children." Chu Yurong said, looking at the princes and princesses in front of him with clear eyes and a happy expression, "I am so happy to see my brothers, brothers, sisters and sisters."
Princess Jin Yao sat down next to him and said with a smile: "Everyone will be together in the future. Brother Ayu, you will be happy every day from now on. Everyone is happy, and my father is even happier - isn't it, my father?"
The emperor stood there under the curtain, seeming to snort but not seeming to.
"Father," Princess Jin Yao said with a smile, "Sixth brother is here, let's hold a banquet and make it lively."
Seeing someone suggesting it, Concubine Xian, who was responsible for taking care of the affairs of the harem, smiled lightly: "Let everyone meet His Highness the Sixth. We haven't seen him for a long time and don't even recognize him."
The Crown Princess was about to signal the two children held by the wet nurse to join in the fun, when the Emperor's face sank: "What kind of banquet are you holding? His illness is not cured yet."
The princess quickly signaled to the wet nurse to hold down the two children.
Concubine Xian also nodded: "Yes, His Highness, Sixth Highness, has not been able to be lively since he was a child. The imperial doctor said back then that Your Highness must be quiet."
The emperor looked at the room full of people and felt unclean: "Okay, you have seen him, please disperse." He then asked Eunuch Jinzhong, "Have you chosen the residence?"
Eunuch Jinzhong responded: "The selection has been made according to your Majesty's instructions." He took out a drawing and said, "Your Majesty has taken a look at it."
The emperor waved his hand: "I won't read it. Just choose it according to what it looks like in Xijing."
The people in the room probably guessed it, and Jin Yao asked directly: "Father, do you still want Sixth Brother to live out?"
The emperor said: "This is what the doctor ordered, for his own good." He looked at the others and said, "Also, it's not just him, the rest of you should also be separated."
In one sentence, there was a lot of noise in the room. Are there going to be separate houses for the princes? This is a big deal. I forgot that I was here to visit the sixth prince. Several concubines surrounded the emperor and asked.
The emperor had a headache from the noise: "The drawings of the mansion are all over there. Take a look and choose the place yourself."
Concubine Xu and Concubine Xian were no longer polite, and came to the table one after another, spreading out the messy drawings, and calling their respective princes to come over. The fourth prince had no concubine, and had been fostered under the name of Concubine Xian, so they also hurriedly followed over to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Concubine Xian only cared about the second prince and forgot about herself.
The Crown Princess took her children, and the princesses also joined in the fun. The Crown Prince stood in front of the Emperor and asked in a low voice about the Prince's branch office. There were many things that needed to be arranged and prepared, and the entire court was busy.
Only Princess Jin Yao and Chu Yurong were left in the side hall.
It's great to have a mother's child, Princess Jin Yao thought, looking at the lively concubines and princes over there, she clenched her hands and her face became increasingly ugly.
Chu Yurong stretched out his hand and pulled her sleeve.
Princess Jin Yao turned to look at him.
"You can go take a look for me too." Chu Yurong winked at her, "I'm still used to it."
The sadness and inexplicable anger in Princess Jin Yao's heart disappeared, and she took a deep breath, yes, Brother Six is not nothing, he still has her!
"Don't worry." Princess Jin Yao nodded to him, raised her head and rushed towards Eunuch Jin Zhong, "Let me see what you chose for Brother Six." Then she squeezed to the desk over there, "Let me see these.
Where are they?"
The side hall was completely quiet. Chu Yurong looked at the concubines and princes crowded there, and then at the emperor who was talking to the prince. He slowly lay back on the bed, closed his eyes, and put his fingers by his side.
