There were not many people in the prince's backyard. King Qin never married, and there was only one concubine in the palace of King Jin. Although King Yan also had several concubines, they were all given by the emperor, so he lived an invisible life on weekdays. The people are the same, except that the Zhou Prince's Mansion is colorful and lively like a vegetable market.
Princess Zhou is not a harsh person, and few of the concubines in Prince Zhou's Mansion are unruly, mean, or disrespectful to the Princess. However, the same kind of rice feeds hundreds of people, and there are too many people in the backyard, and there will inevitably be a few thorns. , although Princess Zhou can handle it, but coming back again and again is enough to make people feel cold.
Compared with the other sisters-in-law, how can we not feel uncomfortable?
Princess Jin and Princess Yan looked at each other, and for a moment, they didn't know what to say.
It would be too despicable to talk about how smooth your life is when others are lonely.
Besides, this is something that even the emperor and empress cannot interfere with. What can the two eldest sisters-in-law do for Princess Zhou?
I can only advise you to drink more wine: "When you are drunk, you will forget everything when you wake up."
Princess Zhou could only smile bitterly: "That's all I can think of."
After speaking, raise your glass and drink.
The three sisters-in-law had been drinking for half an hour, but an attendant hurriedly came to report: "Princess, our prince is back!"
Princess Jin was startled at first, then stood up suddenly: "Where is he?"
The attendant smiled and said: "We have passed the front door and will be here soon."
Princess Yan hurriedly asked: "Where is my prince?"
The attendant was slightly startled: "Well, I have never seen His Highness King Yan."
Princess Yan frowned slightly.
Princess Zhou was holding the wine flask and drinking heavily, and she didn't even bother to ask.
The three of them had different thoughts. After waiting for half a quarter of an hour, they saw the tall figure of King Jin appearing outside the door.
As soon as Princess Jin caught a glimpse of him, a smile appeared on her brows. She walked forward with light steps to help her husband take off his cloak. While hanging it on the hanger, she asked him again: "Have the fourth and fifth brothers ever been together?" Leaving the palace?"
Princess Yan and Princess Zhou stood up and saluted King Jin. The latter returned the salute and answered his wife: "We left the palace together."
Princess Jin looked surprised: "Why don't you see the two royal brothers?"
King Jin said seriously: "I'm in a hurry to return home, so I'll go quickly."
Princess Jin was stunned at first, then her eyes curled up and her smile was as bright as a flower.
Princess Yan asked Prince Jin with a dull face: "Third brother, you are in a hurry to go back to the house and your feet are too fast. What about my prince? What is he doing?"
Princess Zhou chuckled: "Yes, what is he doing?"
Princess Jin came forward and pulled her husband to sit down. She used her sleeves to cover her and pinched his waist, hinting to him to cover up a little and not let the couple go back to quarrel.
King Jin sat down and after thinking for a few moments, he said slowly: "They are laughing at me behind the scenes."
Then he looked up at his wife: "Why are you pinching me? Is this something that can't be said?"
Princess Jin: "..."
Princess Yan twitched the corners of her mouth.
She wanted to laugh too - why not laugh those two bastards to death!
Princess Zhou snorted coldly.
I figured it out!
King Jin looked at his wife for help: "Is this something that cannot be said?"
Princess Jin: "..."
Princess Jin held her forehead: "Are you hungry? Hurry up and eat!"
King Jin lowered his head and concentrated on eating. When Princess Jin heard that neither King Yan nor King Zhou had lunch, she hurriedly asked someone to prepare some more.
After waiting for two quarters of an hour, King Yan and King Zhou finally arrived late. They thanked Princess Jin for her hospitality and quickly told them about today's events while eating. listen.
Finally, King Yan said: "Let's wait and see. Who knows when the old man will be able to think about it."
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief, and that was all they could think of.
…
The emperor's refusal to meet people had less of an impact than imagined.
Because the status of the queen and the prince is extremely stable, as long as their voices are consistent, there will be no trouble in the inner palace.
Perhaps Dong Zhongshu's telepathy was real. On the night when the emperor closed the door and refused to see anyone, the first snow of early winter fell in the capital.
And it was a very big snow.
Winter has always been a time of high incidence of death of the elderly. King Yan missed his old father and stayed up almost all night. Because the heavy burden on his body was not cleared, his heart was always heavy and depressed.
It was still dark the next day, so he got up in a hurry, dressed up and planned to enter the palace.
Princess Yan asked him: "You won't leave until you have eaten?"
King Yan frowned and waved his hands impatiently, "I can't eat it!"
After saying that, he strode outside.
Princess Yan started to hold her breath early in the morning, and rolled her eyes at his back: "If you don't want to eat, then you won't eat. If you starve to death, forget it!"
Then he took the chubby son from the nanny's hands and started feeding him like a pie: "Ignore your father, let's eat. You are hungry and your face is thin..."
…
East Palace.
Zhu Di also got up early that day, not because he missed his grandfather, but because he was worried about his father and mother and his grandmother.
Even he himself is in this worry range.
He sat in front of the stove to warm himself with his hands folded, and discussed with the old guys: "Is this considered history to have been changed? You see, Zhu Yunwen has not made any move until now."
Li Shimin thought about it and said, "I think it's almost likely that he was automatically ascended to heaven like King Qin."
Liu Che squinted and smiled: "How long has it been? Why are you still mentioning King Qin? It is forbidden to consume dead protagonists!"
Li Yuanda kept counting the days: "It's only been two days in total."
Things like fate don't just come if you worry about them.
Not long after Zhu Di had been baking in front of the stove, he heard someone calling him outside. When he went out to take a look, he saw the young apprentice in charge of the Crown Princess holding some gray ears in his hand.
Seeing the emperor's grandson coming out, he hurriedly bowed and said: "Princess Zhou sent someone to send him to the palace. He said that it was snowing heavily at this time, and the emperor was disobeying the Holy Body. He was afraid that he would not be able to go hunting in a short time. So he sent someone to see him. Here are some wild rabbits for the emperor and grandson to play with!"
Zhu Di accepted Princess Zhou's favor and said, "You must thank Aunt Wu for me!"
Inspired by this, he put on his big cloak and went to Qianqing Palace without saying a word.
Yan Zhao saw the emperor's grandson lying in a ball of snow on the ground. His exposed hands and face were all red from the cold. He couldn't turn a blind eye and brought someone to help, but he was stopped by the emperor's grandson solemnly.
Zhu Di said: "Grandpa Huang is ill and can't go out. You can always take a look outside, right? I'll build a snowman here and treat it as me, accompanying Grandpa Huang here!"
Yan Zhao was moved by this: "The emperor and grandson are interested. If the adoptive father knew about it, he would be moved." He stopped asking for help.
On the other side, King Yan took advantage of Yan Zhao and others' gaze to open the window and sneaked into the inner hall.
While Zhu Di was massaging the snowman's head, he asked Yan Zhao: "Commander Yan, something strange seemed to have gotten in just now. Why don't you go and take a look?"
Yan Zhao pretended to be confused and said, "Why didn't I see it? The emperor and grandson are probably dazzled."
Zhu Di laughed, cut a carrot into pieces and pressed it up for his nose, and tapped him with his fingers that were as cold as carrots: "Strict command, you look like Being serious and rigid is actually not honest either!"
Yan Zhao said seriously: "If my adoptive father has to punish me from now on, I will be willing to accept it."
Zhu Di then stopped mentioning this and stood next to the snowman. He asked Yan Zhao to help with his palms and eyes: "Is he as tall as me? Is his head bigger or smaller than mine?"
Yan Zhao looked up and down for a few times, and finally nodded happily: "They are all very good, almost the same as the emperor's grandson..."
As these words were about to fall to the ground, the two of them heard a muffled "plop" sound coming from the inner hall, and their expressions changed at the same time.
Yan Zhao immediately turned his head and looked in a certain direction.
Zhu Di looked over and realized that there were two people hiding in an unnoticeable place.
When they met the commander's gaze, the expressions of the two men were a little complicated. Their lips moved, but they could not say anything.
While Yan Zhao and Zhu Di were still thinking about what happened inside, the answer came out first. The previously closed door suddenly opened from the inside, and King Yan fled out in embarrassment.
Immediately behind him was the emperor with swollen beard and hair.
King Yan crossed the threshold as if running for his life, and was about to run out when he saw it.
The emperor shouted decisively: "Stop that beast!"
Many personal guards immediately formed a human wall, blocking King Yan's path tightly.
King Yan's face was full of horror: "Dad, I didn't know you——"
The emperor's face was rosy and full of energy. He obviously did not look like he was lying in bed. He was just arrogant and angry, as if he was going out to seek revenge.
Looking around, he suddenly came towards Zhu Di.
And Zhu Di was already shocked by this sudden scene. He saw Grandpa Huang coming towards him with murderous intent. Without even realizing it, the emperor had already grabbed the snowman's head in front of him and raised his head. go.
Zhu Di: "..."
Ah this.
Over there, King Yan had been stopped by his guards and could not move. He looked at his father with dumbfounded eyes as he came forward: "Ah this..."
The emperor raised the snowball high, with a ferocious expression, and hit it accurately from a few meters away: "Go to hell, you bastard!!!"
Chapter 162
King Yan entered the palace worriedly. He originally wanted to ask for an audience outside the main hall of Qianqing Palace step by step, but he didn't expect to see his eldest nephew coming from outside, rolling up his sleeves and enthusiastically in the yard. Making a snowman even attracted Yan Zhao.
He figured that because of the old man's stubborn character, he might not be willing to see him yesterday if he refused to see him yesterday. He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he opened the window and got in.
Hey, this is called following emergency situations!
The Qianqing Palace and his brothers had been here countless times before, and they were familiar with the place. Originally, King Yan secretly mentioned a few cautions, fearing that the old man would be served first without seeing him. I bumped into Gong E.
I almost didn't expect anyone to reach the old man's dormitory, but he didn't see anyone.
