Chu Yurong prepared a small wine banquet to express his gratitude not only to Chen Danzhu, but also to meet the Jin Yao brothers and sisters.
Princess Jin Yao was a little angry: "Sixth brother has been here for so long and still hasn't received Feng Yan."
Chu Yurong said: "I'm not in good health, how can I want all that excitement?"
However, in addition to being the frail and sickly sixth prince, he is also the sixth prince who has led the army for many years under the title of Iron Masked General. Now that he no longer has to be the Iron Masked General, shouldn't he also change his frail and sickly appearance? The father brought the sixth prince here.
Yes, why did you pick him up? Because the Sixth Prince's health has improved, and then everything will fall into place. How great.
But the father didn't say anything, and just locked the sixth prince in a remote house as before, and didn't allow anyone to come close. So now people inside and outside the palace are saying that the sixth prince is going to die. This is the last time he came to see him.
one side.
But these words could not be said in front of Chen Danzhu, Jin Yao felt angry in her heart.
Chu Yurong saw her expression and said with relief: "The time has not come yet."
When Chen Danzhu heard this, he glanced at Chu Yurong's food table. Unlike her and Princess Jin Yao, who had plenty of meat and vegetables, his food only had a bowl of soup and a plate of green side dishes.
People with poor health like this have many restrictions on what they can eat. Just like when the third prince ate almonds——
The thought flashed through my mind, and I laughed at myself again, that was a lie, that's all, I won't mention it anymore.
She also nodded to Princess Jin Yao: "Recuperating from illness is very hard. You can't do many things and you can't eat many things. It will be fine when you recover. Just bear with it."
Chu Yurong nodded to Chen Danzhu in agreement: "Miss Danzhu is right. She has endured it for many years and cannot let her efforts fall short."
Princess Jin Yao listened to the two of them talking. What Chen Dan and Zhumeng said in the dark was really recuperating from illness, while Chu Yurong was half-truth and half-false. She wanted to laugh a little, but also a little sad. The sixth brother could not stop pretending to be sick, but
Chen Danzhu is obviously an old friend, but he can only pretend to be a new stranger.
If you want to see Chen Danzhu, you have to try your best.
Princess Jin Yao looked sad. She looked at Chen Danzhu and thought of a way to let them have more contact. This method was also commonly used by Chen Danzhu: "Danzhu, you are a doctor. Show it to Brother Six. If there is any
Is there no good medicine or solution?”
Chu Yurong looked at Chen Danzhu, but before he could say anything, Chen Danzhu had already smiled and shook his head: "I can't do that." He looked at Chu Yurong again, "Princess, you see, although His Highness the Sixth Prince is not in good health, he seems to be in good spirits.
It's really good. It shows that the imperial doctor's medical skills are very good. I'd better not interfere casually, lest His Highness's years of suffering be in vain."
Princess Jin Yao actually regretted saying this. After all these years, she had actually known that Brother Six was probably not ill at all. At least it was not as serious as the outside world reported. The so-called seriousness was just to escape the world, in case Chen Danzhu diagnosed him with his pulse and found out.
, that’s troublesome—how can Sixth Brother explain?
She smiled and nodded: "I was rude. I don't understand anything. I shouldn't point fingers. Come on, Danzhu, let's have a drink together." She said while holding up another glass with her other hand, "I feel sorry for me too.
Let’s have a drink with Sixth Brother.”
Chen Danzhu smiled and picked up the wine glass, and the two girls drank it in one gulp with heroic gestures.
Chu Yurong held the teacup and felt helpless: "I can have tea instead of wine. Jin Yao, you don't have to drink for me. I haven't seen you for so many years. You are really different from when you were a child. You have learned to be greedy for wine."
We haven’t seen each other for many years. Princess Jin Yao laughed in her heart, raised her wine glass and said, “I haven’t seen you for many years. I have changed a lot. I can also fight. Brother Six, do you want to compare with me?”
Chu Yurong drank the tea in one gulp: "Okay, I will compete with you when I get better." He sighed to Chen Danzhu again, "When I was a child, I was best friends with sister Jin Yao. I am not in good health and cannot walk around. Jin
Yao often comes to play with me."
Princess Jin Yao had already told her about her childhood. Thinking that his so-called play was lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, Chen Danzhu couldn't help laughing and raised his glass: "I'd like to toast Jin Yao's good brother."
Chu Yurong smiled slightly, poured tea and raised it: "I also toast to Jin Yao's good sisters. I am happy for Jin Yao to have a playmate like Miss Danzhu."
The two looked at each other, smiled, and drank.
Okay, since they both respect each other because of her, she will have a drink by herself. Princess Jin Yao smiled and picked up the wine glass and drank it all by herself.
The banquet ended soon, and Chu Yurong did not think of any more tricks to keep Chen Danzhu. He watched the two of them leave, the door of the mansion slowly closed, and the courtyard returned to silence.
Wang Xian came out from behind, drinking tea and looking at Chu Yurong's food table.
The clear soup and water have been removed. A Niu is filling the table with grilled meat, braised fish and shrimp, crisp side dishes, and fragrant rice. Chu Yurong still holds a pot of wine in his hand.
He said to Wang Xian: "After seeing off the guests, the master can have dinner."
Wang Xian snorted: "What's so fun? Even if Miss Danzhu was invited, she had no intention of making friends with you and never asked about your condition. The princess took the initiative and she simply refused."
Chu Yurong shook his head indifferently: "It's not that she doesn't want to be friends with me. Because of the Third Prince's matter, she doesn't want to see anyone anymore. She won't see anyone if she doesn't want to. I don't need to use illness to interact with her."
.....
.....
When Princess Jin Yao returned to the palace, she obediently went to the emperor to report back. She saw that the emperor was also having a small banquet, and all the princes in the palace, including the prince, were here.
After the incident with the fifth prince, the emperor finally noticed the relationship between the princes and wanted the brothers to live in harmony, so he no longer only called the prince to be by his side. He would also call all the princes when eating and finishing government affairs.
, coupled with the fact that the princes were preparing to separate their houses and leave the palace, the emperor cherished the relationship between father, son and brothers even more, and dinner parties became more frequent.
Without the yin and yang of the fifth prince, coupled with the kindness of the prince, the docility of the second prince, the gentleness of the third prince, and the honesty of the fourth prince, the atmosphere of the banquet between father and son brothers was very pleasant.
When Princess Jin Yao came over, she didn't know what the second prince said. Everyone laughed. The emperor sitting at the top also smiled. When he saw Jin Yao, the emperor stopped laughing.
"Father." Jin Yao smiled and ran over, sat next to the emperor, and then looked at the food table, "There are so many delicious foods. Father, I want to eat too."
The emperor said calmly: "How can I come back hungry when I go to visit someone?"
Princess Jin Yao smiled and said: "Where in the world can I have such good food as my father?"
The emperor was unmoved. He even chuckled twice and added another sentence for Princess Jin Yao: "Especially in the lonely and pitiful residence of the Sixth Prince."
When Princess Jin Yao came in, everyone was still talking and laughing, but when they heard the words "Sixth Prince's Mansion" being spoken, the laughter stopped and everyone looked over.
Princess Jin Yao held the emperor's sleeve and laughed.
The emperor pulled back his sleeves: "Even if there is nothing to eat in the Sixth Prince's Mansion, Princess Danzhu has it. Princess Danzhu has whatever she wants in her mansion. What is on my table is also on her table."
Princess Jin Yao smiled and hugged the emperor's arm: "Father, no, no, don't listen to other people's rumors."
This time the emperor did not speak. The prince smiled and said: "It's true that my father has heard the rumors. The two adults from the Shaofu Superintendent and the Guards Department have already come to complain."
Princess Jin Yao hurriedly said: "Brother Prince, don't listen to their nonsense. They were the ones who treated Sixth Brother lightly first. Danzhu did it for Sixth Brother."
The prince nodded: "Yes, Miss Danzhu is indeed a kind-hearted girl. She cared so much about her third brother at the beginning and even went to the city to find medicine to cure him."
The prince spoke and looked at the third prince with a smile.
All eyes in the palace were directed towards the third prince.
Everyone is familiar with the matter between Chen Danzhu and the third prince. Chen Danzhu claimed to treat the third prince's illness, made friends with him diligently, and even arrested people all over the city to test the medicine. However, the third prince just believed Chen Danzhu, and for Chen Danzhu's sake
Danzhu did not hesitate to offend the emperor two or three times, went on a hunger strike, and used tactics to win scholars. This was also because he had troubled the Imperial Academy to help Chen Danzhu.
Not long after these things have passed, Chen Danzhu has begun to do his best to the new sixth prince again, um——
Everyone's expressions were very complicated. The prince smiled slightly, the second prince sympathized, the fourth prince gloated, the emperor was cold, and even Princess Jin Yao was a little embarrassed, with her eyes wandering.
The third prince and the second prince were sitting in the same row and had stopped talking. However, they did not look at the emperor and Jin Yao, but carefully picked up a piece of fish steamed with autumn oil.
After the prince finished speaking, all eyes in the palace fell on him. The third prince did not stop using his chopsticks. He put a piece of jade-colored tender fish meat into his mouth, then looked at the prince and nodded.
He said: "Miss Danzhu, the doctor is kind-hearted."
The second prince felt that as the elder brother, he could not embarrass his younger brother too much, so he nodded hurriedly: "Yes, Miss Danzhu is good at medicine. I don't know anything else. I heard that the one or two gold ones are very popular."
The fourth prince laughed: "Second brother, one or two gold coins are used by girls, how do you know?"
"Fourth brother, you are wrong." The prince smiled and shook his head, "One or two gold is not only for girls. You have not gone to A Xuan's house. If you have, you can see a box in his room.
I use it every day and it was given by Miss Danzhu."
The topic here turned to Zhou Xuan. The third prince's hand holding the chopsticks tightened and he glanced at the prince.
Changing the subject added fuel to the fire for Chen Danzhu.
Sure enough, the emperor who had been silent snorted coldly: "What kind of doctor is Chen Danzhu?"
Being a doctor is just a means to achieve her goal.
Princess Jin Yao obviously also knew that the prince mentioned the third prince first, and also mentioned that Zhou Xuan did not praise Chen Danzhu. When the emperor snorted coldly, she hurriedly said: "Father, no, Danzhu didn't tell the sixth brother."
When it comes to treating illnesses, she even praised her father, saying that he had taken good care of Sixth Brother for so many years."
The emperor chuckled: "So she didn't even want to give up her child this time. She had to buy medicine and cut medicine for Ah Xiu no matter what. This time she didn't waste any effort at all. She just relied on blah blah blah.
Talking to gain a good reputation for caring about the prince?"
The fourth prince couldn't help but laughed. After laughing a few times, he realized that the others were not laughing. The second prince and the third prince were not laughing. The prince did smile, but only slightly - he hurriedly closed his mouth and moved back.
Move it again.
The emperor ignored him.
Princess Jin Yao hurriedly shook the emperor's arm: "Father, don't say that. She thought she didn't need help. She even pointed out the tree to Sixth Brother. Father, you did it for Sixth Brother."
So much, so much care has been put into the decoration of the mansion, but you didn’t even say a word, so we didn’t know.”
The emperor snorted again: "What can you say?"
Don't come here to please him with this. Chen Danzhu is a woman who has no other skills but can talk sweetly - she knows the goods and knows the value of that tree.
The prince was a little curious and asked: "What kind of tree is it?"
Princess Jin Yao smiled at him: "Father gave Brother Six an old tree that meant good luck. I asked Miss Danzhu to see Brother Six at that time. Miss Danzhu lamented that Father took good care of Brother Six, and she was willing to take advantage of him.
He didn't dare to play tricks on others, and said that Sixth Brother will definitely get better under the care of my father."
After that, he shook the emperor's arm and said, "Yes, Father, you will definitely make Brother Six get better."
The meaning of the last sentence is naturally a secret that only their father and daughter know.
The emperor shook off her hand: "Go and sit down. How old are you? Are there any rules?"
Princess Jin Yao responded with a smile and called the chamberlain standing beside her to place a food table next to the emperor for her.
"Anyway, Miss Danzhu didn't pester Sixth Brother on purpose. She was really kind-hearted." She explained to the emperor again.
The emperor sneered: "She has good intentions. I am an evil father who treats his son harshly. I should invite Miss Danzhu to come and thank her properly." He called Eunuch Jinzhong, as if he really wanted to deliver the order.
Princess Jin Yao hurriedly waved her hands and continued to explain: "No, no, father."
The prince smiled: "Jin Yao, you have been by your father's side and your sixth brother's side for so many years. Don't you still know how your father takes care of your sixth brother? Now you say that an outsider is better for your sixth brother. This is wrong.
It’s out of order.”
This was the second time that the prince had spoken unkindly since he mentioned Chen Danzhu. Princess Jin Yao looked at him. In her heart, the prince had always been an amiable brother. Sometimes the prince would always consider things that the queen was careless about.
When the queen wants to punish her, the prince will also intercede——
She never thought that one day, the prince would speak to her like this. Of course, Princess Jin Yao was no longer the heartless girl who only loved dressing up when she was a child. She understood very well that the prince treated her like this because it touched his interests.
, or it could be said that Chen Danzhu, whom she was protecting, had touched the prince's interests.
But Princess Jin Yao is also a little resentful towards the prince. There is no need for him to target Danzhu, a little girl like this.
"Brother Prince." Jin Yao also smiled at the prince, "It is precisely because Danzhu is an outsider that she did this, so I want to thank her even more. We are all from the same family and know Brother Six's habits. Because it is easy to eat and drink, and it is easy to employ people."
Simple, but Danzhu didn't know. When she heard and saw it, she felt that Sixth Brother had been treated poorly. After all, the father was busy, oh, Brother Prince, you were busy too, and Sixth Brother was new here. She thought it was because his subordinates were treating Sixth Brother harshly.
, immediately criticized the injustice. If other people had so many worries about royal matters and ignored matters that had nothing to do with themselves, they would not do this at all. Miss Danzhu is not afraid of offending others, or even offending her father.
Is it wrong to come forward and ask questions with such sincerity?"
The prince looked at Princess Jin Yao with shock in his eyes - was this dead girl trying to refute him? And she dared to insinuate him for neglecting his brothers?
crazy!
Not only are these brothers crazy, these princesses are also crazy.
The third prince smiled at the side: "Miss Danzhu has always been like this. She hates evil and is fierce. Sometimes she seems unkind, but in fact she treats people with sincerity. When she yelled at Xu Luozhi, she was treasonous in the eyes of the world, but
In Zhang Yao's eyes, that is the integrity of a gentleman who sees injustice on the road."
Princess Jin Yao nodded to the third prince: "The third brother is also sincere, so he did not hesitate to destroy his reputation to help. Facts have proved that Zhang Yao is worth helping. The Bian Canal alone has benefited tens of thousands of people."
They were all laughing and talking, but the atmosphere in the hall became a little weird.
The second prince, who always paid attention to the respect between brothers and sisters, was drinking tea and seemed to have no time to talk, while the fourth prince shrank his head and moved back.
The prince looked at the third prince and Princess Jin Yao, a brother and a sister, singing in harmony. No, to be precise, the princes who were silent at this time were equivalent to refuting him.
The prince had expected this kind of scene today, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.
