The lights in the emperor's palace were bright, the maids and chamberlains came in and out, and there was a table beside the Arhat's bed in the side room. The emperor and the prince did not sit separately, but faced each other, eating lively.
"Father, please try this." The prince rolled up his sleeves and placed a piece of steamed fish in front of the emperor.
The emperor smiled and said hello, ate it with chopsticks, and nodded: "Not bad, not bad." He motioned for him to pour the wine, "It goes better with this wine."
The prince poured half a cup for the emperor: "Father, please don't drink too much. The imperial doctors have said that you can't drink too much at night to avoid getting a headache."
The emperor was a little displeased: "Even you are here to take care of me."
The prince smiled and said: "The reason why your son controls your father is so that you can control your son better and longer."
The emperor smiled and raised his glass, and the father and son clinked their glasses and drank together.
"Yu Rong caused such a big trouble today, thanks to you for being here to entertain the guests." The emperor said, sighing, "I didn't lose the royal face."
The prince said: "Father, please don't say that. This is a matter that belongs to your son and ministers - Sixth Brother, please don't be too angry, Father."
When the sixth prince was mentioned, the emperor could no longer drink. He was angry and helpless: "This evil son has not been taught well since he was a child, and he has become so arrogant as he is now."
The prince advised: "Sixth brother is not in good health after all, and his temper will inevitably be eccentric."
The emperor sneered: "If he is not in good health, should he torment others? I originally thought it was pitiful for him to be alone in Xijing, but now that the world is peaceful, I can have more time to look after him, so I took him over, but I didn't expect that he would cause trouble when he arrived.
It’s like this.”
This was to explain to him why he had brought the sixth prince here. The prince smiled and said, "Father, don't be anxious. I just came here and will teach you slowly."
The emperor waved his hand: "I understand. Now that he has grown up, his temper has long been wild and he cannot be taught well. Let him go back to Xijing. Out of sight, out of mind."
The prince held his chopsticks and said, "This is not good, he is alone——"
"Not alone." The emperor raised his eyebrows, "There is also Chen Danzhu. That treacherous son is not useless for his mischief. He just tied up Chen Danzhu with him and sent them back to Xijing to be imprisoned. In this way, out of sight and out of mind.
Already."
The prince hesitated: "Are Miss Danzhu and Sixth Brother suitable?"
The emperor said calmly: "Isn't it important whether they are suitable for each other? What is important is that this matter is suitable."
The prince lowered his head and said: "Father? Although I hate Chen Danzhu, my sixth brother should not be harmed by him."
The emperor waved his hand: "Don't worry? Neither of them is easy to worry about? Let them harm each other." At this point, he sighed again, "But? Although Mu Rong is also very hateful, I will find a suitable one for him.
Wife? Will you also let the Crown Princess see? Which family has a virtuous and virtuous woman, no need to mention a famous family, as long as she is a good person and can accompany Mu Rong? Let him change his ways and return to righteousness? You can worry less about him in the future."
The prince looked sad and happy at the same time. He stood up and knelt down: "My dear father, thank you very much. My dear father, I would like to thank my father for Murong."
The emperor stretched out his hand and said, "Get up quickly. This is not a way for me to say thank you to my elder brother. It is my responsibility as a father."
The prince stood up as he was told, looking sad and guilty: "My father is a father and a king? What the fifth brother did is really unforgivable."
The emperor nodded: "It is not easy to be a king? You understand, what about the future? Yu Rong is raised in Xijing? Murong is kept here? Neither of them can be crowned kings. As princes, they will have no worries about food and drink for the rest of their lives, and they will cultivate their appearance.
The implementation of the imperial examination has become a regular practice, and he has been crowned king. If he has further achievements, he will be richly rewarded. This way, the family and the state will be safe, and you will be able to be stable and comfortable."
Of course the prince knew what this meant in the future, and he was both excited and sad at the same time: "As long as my father is here, my sons and ministers will be able to live in peace and stability."
The emperor smiled and said: "We don't have to be like this between father and son. You must always remember your identity and be prepared for your father's absence. I told you when you were three years old."
Speaking of the past, the prince complained a little: "Father, my son was still three years old at that time, so how could he know so much? Alas, my son was really frightened at that time, thinking that he was about to lose his father."
The emperor looked sad: "I couldn't help it. At that time, I always thought that I couldn't wait until you grew up."
At this time, Eunuch Jinzhong came forward and filled their wine glasses: "Your Majesty just can't drink. As soon as he drinks, he wants to get over it. The hard days are over."
The prince smiled and said: "Father, you are remembering the bitterness and thinking about the sweetness."
The emperor also laughed and picked up the wine glass: "When the hard days are not over, you can't think about them often. But when the hard days are over, you can't forget them."
After a late-night supper, the father and son had a great time. The prince was slightly drunk. Fu Qing supported him and left. He sat on a carriage and returned to the East Palace. The night was already dark.
The Crown Princess stood outside the palace to greet him, and while helping him, she said, "We have prepared some sobering soup for Your Highness."
But the prince was not even drunk after getting out of bed, so he threw her away and went straight in without saying a word.
The palace maids and eunuchs on the side lowered their heads as if they didn't notice, and the princess's face also turned red and white.
Your Highness had been trained by His Majesty and was in a bad mood. She could only comfort herself in this way.
...
...
"Your Highness, Your Highness." Fu Qing hurriedly followed.
The prince entered the study, took off his belt and threw it to the ground.
Fu Qing hurriedly closed the door, not daring to pick it up: "Your Highness, what did Your Majesty say? Do you know what happened this time?"
The prince said: "Su'e is dead. Also, your majesty is slapping words both inside and outside tonight." He repeated the emperor's words to Fuqing.
After hearing this, Fuqing said: "The affairs in the palace cannot be hidden from your majesty. However, as we expected, your majesty knows that your highness has a grudge against Chen Danzhu, so this move is not a big deal. Your majesty also stated that the sixth prince and Chen Danzhu will be separated from each other."
Danzhu was sent out of the capital. It seems that he really doesn't like the Sixth Prince and Chen Danzhu, so there is no need for your Highness to worry."
The prince sneered: "Don't like them? If you really don't like them, the sixth prince should be imprisoned in the capital like the fifth brother, and Chen Danzhu should be killed. What's the result? Let them get married and let them go back to Xijing to be happy together.
comfortable!"
He looked at the night outside the door with a cold expression.
"The sixth brother has been hiding from the palace for so many years. When my father talked about him, his tone and attitude were very familiar, and he also defended him so much. Fuqing, keep an eye on the sixth prince's mansion, not to let go of any clues."
Fuqing bowed his head and answered yes.
.....
.....
It's late at night, and although today's banquet makes people tired, many people are destined to have no sleep.
In Prince Qi's Mansion, Chu Xiurong looked at Zhou Xuan with some helplessness: "Although I am now in charge of the palace and no longer trapped in the imperial city, you can't come to the house at will like this. You are a Marquis in charge of the military.
"
Zhou Xuanhun didn't care: "No one noticed me when I came out, and you can guarantee that no one will notice me when I enter your house, Prince. You can rest assured when I do things, and I can rest assured when you do things. There is nothing to worry about." He stared.
He frowned, "What's going on? How did the Sixth Prince appear?"
King Qi shook his head: "I don't know what happened to him."
However, Chen Danzhu seemed to be very familiar with him.
Chen Danzhu had indeed more contacts with the Sixth Prince than the other princes.
Chen Danzhu made a big fuss with the Young Mansion Supervisor over the Sixth Prince, and then followed Princess Jin Yao to visit the Sixth Prince's Mansion.
None of these royal brothers have ever been there.
That kind of familiarity is far different from having only met twice. Chu Xiurong thought about what he saw in the imperial garden today. Ever since the sixth prince appeared, Chen Danzhu's eyes had been on him.
"What's going on with him?" Zhou Xuandao, "I'll find out once I go to the Sixth Prince's Mansion to see him."
Chu Xiurong was interrupted from his thoughts and hurriedly reached out to hold him: "Don't be ridiculous! This matter has nothing to do with him."
week
Can’t you give me a wife?”
The young man was anxious. Chu Xiurong smiled sympathetically and said, "Don't be anxious. The key to this matter is not the marriage, but the prince."
Zhou Xuan took a deep breath and became even more unhappy: "I've already reminded you, why did you let the prince's conspiracy succeed?"
In fact, the prince's conspiracy did not succeed, because it was him who the prince wanted to plot, and Chen Danzhu blocked it for him——
"Axuan, do you know that Danzhu—" Chu Xiurong said suddenly, then stopped.
Zhou Xuan heard the word Danzhu and stared at him: "What's wrong with her?"
Chu Xiurong shook his head again: "It's nothing, the matter has already been like this, let's not talk about it for now. In short, the prince takes action again and again, and he becomes more and more courageous. We can't wait any longer."
Zhou Xuan snorted: "I have already said that we can take action, but you just think too much."
Xiaoqu came in from outside and reminded in a low voice, "Master Hou, it's time for you to go, Qingfeng is here to find you."
Zhou Xuan said goodbye to Chu Xiurong: "Let me know when you have made arrangements."
Chu Xiurong didn't let him stay, and asked Xiao Qu to send him out. He walked slowly to the inner room, turned away the maid who was about to come forward to help him change clothes, looked at the person in the bronze mirror, smiled slightly, and said what he had not finished before.
"——Do you know that Miss Danzhu told her mother and concubine that she didn't know whether she believed it or not? She hoped that His Highness Prince Qi would have a good life."
Today, his mother-in-law told him a lot of what Chen Danzhu said, how to pretend to be crazy and pitiful, how to bargain, but he only heard and remembered this sentence.
I don't know what happened just now. He suddenly wanted to tell others what Chen Danzhu said, but when he said it, he looked at Zhou Xuan and didn't want to say it anymore. This was his own and he didn't want to share it with others.
Chu Xiurong held his heart, the prince's conspiracy did not hurt him, but it was more hateful than hurting him.
"Little song." he called.
Zhou Xuan had just come back from outside after sending Zhou Xuan's song, and he hurriedly answered the call to come in.
"Please ask Yuan Zhang to come over." Chu Yurong said, "Maybe I'm too tired and I feel a little uncomfortable."
