"The Thirteenth Master is still here, why should he be granted the title of County Prince?"
"This is the palace, don't let anyone listen to your tone." The speaker gently lectured and lowered his voice. He added: "According to the current situation, the Thirteenth Master will definitely be able to inherit the title of prince in a hundred years. If the fourth prince is granted the title of county prince now, it is not impossible to be promoted to prince in the future."
"I'm afraid he doesn't have that life." The person who was talking to him smiled coldly and replied proudly: "Now there are only three princes left in the Zhongshun Palace, but the one who is loved by the Thirteenth Master and today is the six-year-old. Brother Ze."
"You have lost the news. A lot of news came from Moxi in the past few days. The Thirteenth Master's old illness relapsed when he was in Zhungeer. Now, an imperial edict has been issued to force the Thirteenth Master to return to Beijing to recuperate." The speaker said proudly. , "If this were not the case, why would the princes, princes, and princes be in a hurry to select a successor to the Zhongshun Palace? Why are they considering the marriage of the fourth princess and the King of Mobei now?"
"says……"
"Yes, Master Thirteen is too ill this time. I'm afraid..."
"Bullshit on your mother." Brother Rong couldn't stop anymore. He came out from the corner and cursed, "Which family's talkative woman is talking nonsense in the palace? Is this where you can be so arrogant?"
The two people in the conversation were startled by the sudden appearance of Jia Rong. One of them frowned and said, "Who are you? A mere palace guard dares to be so domineering."
The other person also looked at the guard uniform on Brother Rong's body, stared at his face for a while, and hurriedly pulled his companion. He smiled and said: "It turns out to be Brother Rong of Jia Fu. My brother is uttering arrogant words. Don't take Brother Rong to heart. Let's leave now. Please don't blame Brother Rong. Don't blame me."
"The Jia family? The Jia family of the virtuous concubine? Why do you need to treat him like this..."
"Stop... stop talking... Brother Rong, don't blame me, let's just leave." The two people pushed and pulled each other, one of them winked apologetically to Brother Rong, and finally pulled his companion away. He also did not forget to warn in a low voice: "This person is Jia Rong, who once cheated the Thirteenth Master. He is the current successor of the Ningguo Mansion. He was the guy who did the bastard thing of blocking Dayan Clan a few days ago and was not punished."
"It's him?"
"Yes, that's the evil one. It's best if we don't offend him."
Jia Rong frowned as she listened to the sparse whispers coming from afar. He shook his head secretly, but did not pursue the identity of these two people. Anyone who can enter Prince Zhongshun's palace on this day must have an extraordinary status. If he had not heard them say that King Zhongshun was not good enough, he would not have yelled angrily.
It's just... Brother Rong secretly lamented that Princess Zhongshun still hid a lot of things from her, at least the Thirteenth Master's recurrence of his old illness was not revealed.
Maybe I didn't tell myself because I was afraid that I would think too much about it. I also thought about the troubles in the palace this year, and the princess and empress had suffered a lot of misfortune, so she must have been having a hard time recently.
Jia Rong shook his head slightly and walked through the Yimen to the street gate of Wangfu Garden. At this time, the garden opened to the street, and a drum hall was set up on both sides. Two teams of Qingyi played music on time, and pairs of deacons set up their swords and axes.
Brother Rong stayed here, and all the princes and ministers led him in one by one. In addition, Madam Gaoming was led by the palace's female officer to lead them into the garden.
Due to various affairs in the palace, Brother Rong has been staying at the palace a lot these days and rarely returns home.
This day was not a serious day, so few relatives and friends from the palace came, only a few close relatives and wives of the royal family. Several concubines, concubines, princesses and princesses sat with them.
The fourth prince somehow managed to find Brother Rong to express his goodwill and made him unable to get away for a while by saying some polite and understanding words. Coincidentally, at this time, the female official Jiayi, whom she hadn't seen for a few days, came over and said, "Your Majesty summoned the guards to speak."
The fourth prince said with a smile: "Since mother has called me, Brother Rong, please go quickly."
Brother Rong just handed over his hand and hurriedly left. After walking for a while with the female official Jiayi, he saw that the fourth prince could no longer be seen, so he said, "Thank you Aunt Jiayi for saving me."
Jiayi said: "Although the fourth prince has not been canonized as a county prince now, he will be indispensable for the title of king in the future. Why does Sir Rong avoid him?"
It's not that I want to avoid him, I have to. Jia Rong has heard a lot of gossip in the palace these days. The fourth prince is very active now. Not only does he have close contacts with the palace, he even has a good relationship with the prince outside Shenjing City.
That county prince was the eldest son of the deposed prince.
Everyone was hiding, but the fourth prince had no scruples. Jia Rong really didn't dare to get too close to such a person, even if he was the son of Prince Zhongshun, or even if he was the future raider of Prince Zhongshun's palace.
Brother Rong smiled wryly and said, "I'll get busy first, and I'll prepare a thank you gift for my aunt after some time."
Jiayi said calmly: "Who is coveting your thank you gift? My queen woke up and heard that you have been busy in the palace recently, so she sent me to summon you."
The princess and the empress were angry and had an old illness due to the death of their son. The princess and princess Bing Keqing stayed with her for a few days, but she got better in the past two days. Brother Rong asked: "Have you ever taken medicine?"
Jiayi replied: "I haven't eaten it yet after I cooked it. I had to wait until I saw you before eating it. I said it was to save time on taking medicine and then fell asleep."
After hearing this, Jia Rong asked the female official Jiayi to lead the way quickly.
The place where the princess recuperated was not in the courtyard, but in a secluded courtyard in the garden of the palace. When Brother Rong arrived, the princess was leaning on a couch just like the last time they met. But today, the couch was completely covered with mattresses, and the princess was also covered with a thin brocade quilt.
"Empress." Brother Rong called softly, and saw Princess Zhongshun waking up from her nap.
Her unpainted face looked haggard and a little weak, which made her look particularly pitiful. The princess waved her hand to wave Brother Rong to come closer, and Jia Rong just saw that the years had still left traces on her face.
After all, there are still wrinkles in the corners of the princess's eyes. In the past, the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes were invisible when she was energetic, but now they are visible when her energy and blood are weak.
The empress looked at Brother Rong, smiled weakly and said, "You and your wife really value your friendship and work tirelessly to come to the palace every day. The Thirteenth Master and I did not see the wrong person."
Brother Rong listened quietly, knowing that the empress must have something to explain when she called him here.
When the princess saw it, she said again: "Come closer and help me up."
This... Brother Rong hesitated for a moment, then bowed and went to help the princess up. After the queen started to do it, Brother Rong carefully let go of his restrained hand.
But...the princess didn't let Brother Rong stay away and asked him to sit down nearby. Her hands as white and tender as green onions even brushed Brother Rong's face, which made Jia Rong bewildered and her heart beat wildly.
If this scene is to be seen by others, no matter what, my life may be lost. Brother Rong's eyes rolled around nervously, having no idea what the princess meant by this move.
Although the empress looked a little haggard, her expression was extremely calm. Gently sliding her delicate fingers over Brother Rong's handsome face, she said politely: "When I first heard Master Thirteen talking about you, I thought you were a frivolous person who had ulterior motives under the pretext of being given advice from an immortal. Later I met and got to know you. Even if he behaves like a bastard, he is still a good brother."
Brother Rong replied cautiously: "Thank you for the compliment."
The princess smiled softly and said: "It's not a compliment, Grandpa Lian San once said that. The two best things he has done in the past few years are to recommend Sun Heting to the emperor's brother, and to retain him. You set up the Water Conservancy and Farming Mansion. In fact, I think you are not only good at controlling water and farming, you are also smart in other aspects."
Seeing that the little hand on his face finally moved away, Brother Rong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. However, seeing the beautiful Princess Zhongshun face to face at close range, and being harmed by her actions just now, her heart was pounding and her blood was boiling.
He couldn't say a word for a long time, only hearing Princess Zhongshun speaking slowly.
"Brother Rong must have heard a lot of gossip in the palace these days. Chun'er is adventurous by nature and very independent. Now that he has grown up, it is difficult for me, a mother, to control him. Others The children are all young, so..."
Jia Rong looked at Princess Zhongshun and shook her head, and he also sighed secretly. The Chun'er in the Empress's mouth is the fourth child in Prince Zhongshun's Palace. He is now the only adult brother in Prince Zhongshun's Palace besides the eldest son who is banned. The other prince was old Qizawa who was only six years old.
Prince Zhongshun gave birth to nine sons and four daughters, and now only three sons and two daughters are alive. It happened that the eldest of the two daughters had married away, the second daughter was raised in the palace, and the eldest son was grounded for making a mistake and was deprived of the throne.
Now the wisest eldest son is also dead.
In fact, the most important thing is whether Prince Zhongshun's old illness is serious or not. If it is a matter of interest, a series of reactions may follow.
The empress said slowly: "In the past, Ke'er recognized me as her godmother. You were Ke'er's husband and half nephew of the palace. In recent years, I have seen that you act cautiously, and I only hope that you can advise Chun'er not to have children in the future. thing."
Um?
What's the meaning?
Brother Rong said with difficulty: "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. The fourth prince is now an adult, and you know your own interests. Rong'er is a soft-spoken person, so he is really unable to take on such an important task. By the way, your Majesty is young and she is the biological mother of the Fourth Prince. What you say, the Four Princes know your own interests." How could the prince not listen?"
"If all the children were obedient, how could there be any prodigal in the past?" The princess smiled bitterly and shook her head, suddenly grabbed Brother Rong's hand and said, "Are you unwilling?"
this……
Why are your hands so soft?
Why is my heart beating so fast?
The empress said again: "Thirteenth Master's old illness has relapsed. God knows my fate. Rong'er is a few years older than Chun'er. I only hope that Rong'er can persuade Chun'er not to interfere with palace affairs at a critical time in the future."
"Your Majesty is..."
"How can the eldest grandson of the Supreme Emperor who lives outside the city be a law-abiding person? How can His Highness in the palace be a kind-hearted person who can watch his brother ascend to the throne?"
Damn it, the fourth son of Wangfu has a dual state. A royal highness in the palace, a grandson of the Supreme Emperor, any one of them might cause trouble.
How do you advise this?
The princess put it simply. She entrusted Brother Chun directly to herself. What could she do? Brother Rong said softly: "Bless you, Madam. Rong'er still wants to listen to Madam's teachings for another sixty years."
Princess Zhongshun smiled helplessly after hearing this. He hummed softly: "Sixty years later, I will be a hundred years old."
Brother Rong laughed and said, "Isn't it good? Sixty years later, a hundred-year-old empress will train eighty-year-old Rong'er."
"..."
Brother Rong joked playfully, which relieved the temporary depression in the room, and even Princess Zhongshun temporarily relieved her sorrow. After saying a few more words, Brother Rong asked the female officer Jiayi to bring some medicine and serve her to drink it.
Brother Rong helped the queen lie down and said: "We will talk about the future later. The queen will take care of herself first. When the Thirteenth Master comes back, if there is any hidden danger, we can eliminate it together."
The princess took a piece of candy in her mouth, glanced at the slippery man, and asked the female officer Jiayi to take him away.
Except for the first few days regarding the Zhongshun Prince's Mansion, Brother Rong didn't pass much in the following days.
Now the Beginning of Autumn has passed, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is just one month away. It was autumn time, and Brother Rong took two days off to go to Daoxiang Village to meet Li Wan to compile agricultural books. Unexpectedly, before entering the Grand View Garden, Jia Baoyu blocked him.
"Brother Rong is a good man. I have been thinking about him so much these days." When Baoyu saw Brother Rong, he rushed over and hugged Jia Rong's arm. Nuan said affectionately, "After thinking about it, only Brother Rong can help me in this house."
Brother Rong felt nauseous for no reason. Why is this guy acting like this woman again? Hasn't he changed? He said sarcastically: "What is Uncle Bao talking about? If my nephew can help, of course he won't ignore it."
Baoyu glanced at the attacker next to him, pulled Brother Rong away, and whispered: "I still seem to have a problem there. I have tried it many times recently, but it doesn't seem to be working."
"That's it." Brother Rong replied in surprise. In June, he went to Baoyu's Yihongyuan, but Baoyu didn't say anything about it. He thought Baoyu was already well.
Jia Rong asked softly: "What's the situation like? How about my nephew go to Prince Zhongshun's Mansion to invite some imperial doctors for diagnosis and treatment?"
Baoyu shook his head hurriedly. How could he be willing to show it to the imperial doctor? If this kind of question spreads, who knows what will happen next. Baoyu said: "There is no need for an imperial doctor, and don't invite an imperial doctor. These days, I have experimented with some tricks. As long as Brother Rong can help me, this problem will definitely be cured."
Does a long-term illness make a good doctor?
Why did Brother Rong not believe Baoyu? He grinned and asked, "What method did Uncle Bao say?"
Baoyu looked around and saw that there was no one around, not even Xi Ren or the other maids came near. Just then, he stood on tiptoes and leaned into Brother Rong's ear, whispering: "As long as Brother Rong leaves me to watch when he is making out with a woman, I will... Why does Brother Rong look at me like this?"
Looking at you like this?
I want to fucking beat you up, no matter what the hell. Do you think I am an on-site teacher?
Brother Rong suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth and said, "This method is not possible. Uncle Bao should not mention it in the future."
Baoyu said urgently: "Brother Rong has misunderstood. I said this method for a reason, and I don't want Brother Rong to do business for me. All I need is...Brother Rong, don't leave."
Jia Rong was sure that this child must be crazy.
"Brother Rong, please listen to me. I saw it with my own eyes when Brother Rong hugged Qingwen last time. I also saw your fingers moving on Qingwen's side. If I tell the wife and the old lady, Go, brother Rong will definitely be charged with molesting my uncle and maid."
This kid... also knows how to threaten people. Brother Rong thought with some embarrassment that some actions were subconscious and involuntary, so he couldn't be blamed.
Brother Rong curled his lips, looked at Baoyu and said, "Just go ahead and complain to Uncle Bao, see if anyone will believe you? I'm afraid the Second Master will use Uncle Bao to beat him up for making false accusations."
"Uh..." Baoyu stood there, thinking about it, this is really a possibility.
