Liu Ke circled around the snorting white horse and clicked his tongue.
"Jia Xiaosan, this horse is good. The Western Regions presented several horses as tribute to my father the year before last, and this is one of them. The Fourteenth Horse has no other advantages, and there is really no shortage of good things."
Jia Cong looked disgraced, and while Xia Shouzhong was wiping his face with a handkerchief, he replied in a sullen voice: "If the prince uh uh... if you like it, uh uh... just... take it back and ride it."
"Forget it, I don't need a horse to ride on. Besides, if I take him back, Old Fourteen will be furious."
Liu Ke laughed, seemingly free and easy, but Jia Cong still saw a hint of loneliness in his eyes.
The folding fan opened with a snap, and Liu Ke fanned it gracefully, pointing at the dusty Feiyu suit: "Okay, don't wipe it, go to Cining Palace first and find a new set of clothes. After struggling for so long, They are almost turning into mud monkeys.”
Xia Shouzhong took the handkerchief away from Jia Cong's face, revealing a relatively clean chubby face. He and Liu Ke looked at Jia Cong who was wiped red, and they laughed almost at the same time.
…
Cining Palace is on the west side of Qianqing Palace, echoing the East and West Longshou Palace. Entering the gate of Cining Palace, the courtyard is lined with trees and flowers.
Ding……
As the bell rang, an old lady dressed in elegant clothes looked kindly at the fat man in front of her, beckoning: "Stand forward..."
Jia Cong came to Cining Palace. Not only was he cleaned by the maids, he was also given new clothes. But this time it's not a flying fish suit, but a gorgeous suit embroidered with various flying birds, fish and insects.
Jia Cong, who had just been scrubbed and washed by the palace maid for a long time, was all red. At this time, he was wearing a golden crown and jade belt, and he looked extremely happy.
Empress Dowager Cao looked at Jia Cong, and then at the statue of Emperor Changsheng enshrined on the shrine. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that the child in front of her looked very much like the boy in colorful clothes beside Emperor Changsheng.
"Look, does this look like the boy in colorful clothes holding a flower basket next to the emperor?"
The old lady's eyes were full of love, and the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes seemed to be smiling. She pointed at the little boy holding a flower basket under the emperor's seat in the shrine, and cheerfully asked the brothers Liu Heng and Liu Ke who were sitting beside them.
It looks like, but he is a boy. The boy in colorful clothes wears double buns, so he is obviously a girl...
Well, who can say what’s going on in heaven? Li Goudan... isn't Nezha also a woman with a male body? You are old, so you have the final say.
Jia Cong stood obediently in front of Empress Dowager Cao, letting the old lady pinch her chubby face and stroke her little head, perfectly explaining what it means to be good-looking and to be liked wherever you go.
When the old lady was curious enough, the empress dowager asked about the conflict between Jia Cong and Liu Wei. Now Jia Cong didn't know how to answer. He was really in trouble today, and it was the loyal king who was wronged.
However, he also knew that this matter could not be kept secret for long. Instead of leaving a bad impression on the Supreme mother and son, it was better to tell the truth. He was a child anyway, and wasn't it normal for children to be naughty?
When Jia Cong told the whole story with a shy look, Queen Mother Cao glanced at Jia Cong with a strange expression, pinched his chubby face, and said with a smile: "What a smart kid. Liu Wei has been spoiled by the saint since he was a child, and by making such a fuss, you not only make him suffer the loss of being mute, but you also gain some time in Ontario."
Even Liu Heng thought this was true. If Jia Cong gave in today, Liu Biao would probably not let go of the person who "bullyed" his mother and concubine.
It would never have been so easy without beating Jia Cong half to death. Maybe Jia Cong would never have peace from now on.
Of course, I'm afraid this matter will not be settled easily, because he has already asked people to pass the news to Rongguo Mansion.
"Jia Cong..."
Liu Heng suddenly sighed: "I can't help you with this matter. The fourteenth old man has always been a man of revenge. There is nothing we can do against you, but secretly there are many tricks waiting for you. You must pay attention to it in the future when you go out." Bring more people with you.”
There was nothing wrong with the emperor's words, but Empress Dowager Cao frowned and said dissatisfied: "You can only be a thief for a thousand days, how can you guard against thieves for a thousand days? I know it's difficult for you, so leave this matter to me... Gui branch!"
A female historian in her twenties came over, bowed and said, "My servant is here."
"You go to the Huangji Palace now and tell the saint that since Mrs. Zhen can't teach her son well, throw her son into Zongzheng Temple instead of leaving him outside to embarrass the royal family. The majestic royal prince actually bullied a child..."
"Queen mother, your...father...oh!"
Empress Dowager Cao noticed Liu Heng's worries, but she smiled and explained: "Don't worry, I will never fight or fight for you in the palace all my life. Everything will go according to your father's will first. The injustice you have suffered is actually We all see it. I’m going to be willful today. Zhen has been arrogant and domineering these years, so it’s time for her to learn some rules."
…
The female historian Guizhi was ordered to go to the Huangji Palace. Empress Dowager Cao was not worried at all. Instead, she took Jia Cong and played a game of pretending to be a flower girl.
The loveless Jia Cong became a large figure of the Empress Dowager Cao. One moment he had a braided braid, and the other moment he had a red eyebrow. All the people in the Cining Palace came to watch the fun, and Jia Cong was so shy that he could risk his life. It's hot.
Fortunately, lunch time came, and Jia Cong was relieved.
After spending a lot of time today, Jia Cong's stomach was already growling with hunger. He picked up the bowl and ate hard. After refilling the rice twice, he collapsed on the chair with his stomach in his arms.
"Well……"
With a warm handkerchief on his face, the colorful cat with a face full of rice grains turned back into a fair and good baby.
"Hey, big sister?"
It turned out that the person who wiped Jia Cong's face was none other than Yuan Chun, who was asked to come over from Yanxi Palace by Empress Dowager Cao.
Empress Dowager Cao smiled and said: "You two, brother and sister, go outside for a walk. There should be news from the saint soon. It won't be too late for you to leave the palace by then."
Yuanchun gratefully thanked the Holy Grace and led Jia Cong out of the hall.
When the two siblings left the hall, the smile on Queen Mother Cao's face gradually disappeared, and she sighed and said to the Liu Heng brothers: "It's really fate, I didn't expect Jia Daishan's descendants to fall into this situation. It's really ironic. "
"You can't blame others. The old lady of the Jia family is determined to earn a big future for her grandson. Not to mention giving up a granddaughter to serve in the palace, she is giving up Jia Enhou. As long as she can give that Han She is very happy to have a grandson born of jade in exchange for a future." When talking about Jia Mu and Jia Baoyu, Liu Heng was full of ridicule.
Even Liu Ke, who was sitting next to him, quietly added: "I've given it up. Half of the bad reputation Jia Enhou carries comes from Mrs. Rongguo. If you ask me, Jia Enhou is also extremely pedantic and stupid. Xiaocheng like him is definitely the only one in the entire capital."
Liu Heng asked: "How does the mother intend to settle this Jia Nu Shi? Do you plan to let her leave the palace?"
Empress Dowager Cao looked at the two brothers thoughtfully, and then replied with half a salary: "Sending her out of the palace may not necessarily bring any good results, why don't you two brothers accept it?"
