The queen hugged the emperor and shook her, and kept shouting "Your Majesty". . . . Everyone present also burst into tears. . .
A generation of emperors died. The second emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Jiong, died in May.
Wang Jien approached and after confirming that the emperor was dead, he winked at one of his men, who nodded and left. Wang Jien came over and said to several palace maids: "Please support the Queen, and if something goes wrong, be careful with your heads!" A young eunuch came over and asked in a low voice: "Eunuch Wang, we need to inform all of you, Your Majesty. Collapse?"
Wang Jien said with a sad face: "The emperor passed away, I am extremely sad in my heart, and the queen is also in grief now. It's just late at night, and I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to inform the ministers now, and let the queen rest for one night and wait for the morning meeting tomorrow." It won’t be too late to inform all ministers.”
Wang Jien quickly went to help Queen Li and said: "Queen, please forgive me. Leave this to the villain, who also needs to install the emperor's dragon body according to the royal etiquette. Now I can only rely on you to take charge of the overall situation, please make sure Phoenix body.”
Queen Li looked at it, nodded, and was helped away by several palace maids.
After the queen left, Wang Jien ordered people to place the emperor's body properly and left in a hurry. On the way back, Wang Jien was alone in the carriage. There was no light in the carriage, and he said with a gloomy face: "Yong'er, don't worry, I will succeed soon. When the time comes, I will ask them to bury you with you!" "
The next morning, in front of the Prince's Mansion, a sedan arrived in front of the door, and the bearer lowered the sedan carefully. Hanfeng went forward and said to Weimen, "Please tell me throughout my life that Princess Yunkai is here."
When the guard heard, "Princess Yunkai," he didn't dare to neglect, and said quickly: "Okay, princess, please wait a moment, I will inform you immediately."
With that said, the guard hurriedly ran towards the yard. He said to Butler Hu: "Princess Yunkai is here."
When Butler Hu heard this, he said: "Please come quickly." Then he said to a servant behind him: "Go and prepare tea." Then he said to another servant: "Go to the study to inform the prince."
Prince Zhao Heng was reading and writing in the study when a servant came to announce: "Prince Qi, Princess Yunkai is here and is now in the front hall." Zhao Heng was surprised and happy, and murmured to the woman beside him: "Why did the imperial sister come today?" The woman put away the brush in the prince's hand and said, "You will know if your highness comes and takes a look." Zhao Heng said to the servant, "I will be there right away." The man replied: "Yes." Then he withdrew.
Yun Kai walked into the prince's front hall and sat on the chair on the right side of the front hall. Butler Hu came to the front hall to pay homage to the princess. He stood respectfully and said, "Princess, please wait a moment. The prince is reading in the study. The princess is here unexpectedly today? No prior notice was given. The servants can welcome the princess."
Yun Kai said: "It's nothing, but I haven't seen the prince for a few days, and I miss him a little. I happened to be out today, so I came to see him."
Butler Hu asked, "I wonder why the princess went out today?"
Yun Kai said: "There's nothing wrong. It's getting hotter and hoter now. I want to buy some cool clothes for my children at home. I'll go out early to have a look."
Butler Hu smiled and said: "Why don't you leave these things to the servants? Why do you have to let the princess choose it yourself for such a trivial matter?"
Yun Kai also smiled and said: "Housekeeper Hu, you don't know that when there was no Tian'er or Yue'er, I never bothered with these things. But since I have children, I can't think of giving them the best. Now People have poor taste, and there are many people who want to enrich their own pockets. This is just greed for convenience. If these clothes make the children uncomfortable to wear, it will be very bad, so how can I trust them to handle these things? The prince-in-law is also busy with the oath to Jiang Alliance all day long, so I don't want to worry about him, so I will go out with Hanfeng today to have a look."
The steward said: "Princess Suwen is gentle and virtuous. She is indeed a role model in the family. She makes servants like this old man feel ashamed."
Yun Kai said: "What are you talking about? Ever since the establishment of this Prince's Mansion, you have always been in charge of it. When I just came in, I saw that the Prince's Mansion is clean and bright, and the servants are also well-mannered. Naturally, your hard work is indispensable."
Butler: "The princess lifts up the villain, and the villain is just doing his job."
After a while, several maids came and placed tea and snacks on the table. Yun Kai picked up the cup and drank some tea. Then he said: "I wonder how the prince is doing when he comes in?"
The housekeeper said: "The prince is fine. He goes to the study every morning to read."
"The prince has arrived!"
When the prince came in, he bowed to Yun Kai. The princess nodded, and then said, "You are quite diligent in studying now. I remember that when you were a child, you were always playful and didn't like reading, but you have changed a lot now."
The prince walked to the main seat in the hall and sat down, and then replied: "The book has its own golden house, and the book has its own beauty like jade. When I was young, I only knew how to play. If I hadn't experienced so much with the imperial sister and brother Liu, I would still be the same now. He is an ignorant naughty boy who only knows how to enjoy himself but does not know the suffering in the world." Then in front of the throne room, the prince also picked up his tea cup, took a sip of the tea on the table, and asked, "Why did the emperor have time to see me today?"
Yun Kai said: "I haven't seen you for a long time. I know that you are afraid of heat. Today I went out to buy some clothes for Tian'er and Yue'er. I also came to your place to see if you also need to buy some clothes. I did it together. .”
The prince smiled and said: "Ever since I was young, the emperor's sister has cared about me the most. I thought that after the emperor's sister and Brother Liu got married, they had Tian'er and Yue'er, so they had already forgotten about my younger brother."
Yun Kai said angrily: "Who do you think your sister is? My mother and concubine passed away early. My eldest brother is highly regarded by my father. He has cultivated me carefully and entrusted me with many important responsibilities. Only you and I have been together since childhood, and you have been together since childhood." It’s not a worry. Now, I have finally found the person I like, what? Is it possible for your sister and me to be your servant for the rest of your life?!"
"Sister, what are you talking about? My sister is good to me, and I will keep my brother in mind. It's just that my eldest brother... alas... has been cultivated by my father since he was a child. It's a pity that I am jealous of talents. Thinking about how powerful and intelligent my eldest brother was in the past, then But the example of our brothers, now... alas..."
Yun Kai said: "Yes, it's a pity what happened to my eldest brother, but I still have you!"
Zhao Heng said: "Me?"
Yun Kai said: "Yes, the eldest brother is crazy and the second brother passed away due to illness. My father has put all his thoughts on you. You can't make my father sad and disappointed anymore."
The prince said helplessly: "I don't know why. Since I became the prince, my father has started to be wary of me. He doesn't tell me many things. Even my father has been seriously ill recently and he has not seen me. I don't know what I am doing now." How is your father's health?"
Yun Kai thought: My father is seriously ill, you'd better go see him quickly.
But he didn't say it out loud. There were many people in the Prince's Mansion, so it was hard to guarantee that there would be spies. If he said that he knew, it would be even more suspicious. Then he said: "What kind of person is my father? He is the lord of the world. How could such a minor illness hurt my father?"
"Sister, if you say this, I feel more at ease."
"only?"
"What's wrong?"
"You said that Father doesn't see you, I think so?"
"Sister, do you have any news?"
"Where can I, a woman, get this information? I just thought that you were straightforward and decisive when you were young. Why are you acting coy now? I think my uncle, father, and elder brother are all vigorous and resolute people, with a mighty and decisive style. You When I was a kid, I liked to call myself the big one with my brothers, and I didn’t want to be outdone?! I see, your current appearance makes my father feel that he made the wrong choice, that’s why he doesn’t see you.”
"My sister said that this is a bit...after all, we are not a child anymore. If we continue to be as reckless as we were when we were children, it won't work."
"It's true that you can be careful, but you have to learn to be more reckless in some things. Okay, it's time for me to leave." Zhao Heng stood up to see him off. Walking to the door, Yun Kai said again: "The weather is really hot, and it hasn't rained for many days." Hanfeng said smoothly: "Princess, I heard people say that if the weather is sunny for too long, it will definitely rain. Said it was the 'calm before the storm'." Yun Kai replied: "There seems to be such a saying." Then he turned his back to Zhao Heng, secretly put a piece of bamboo paper into Zhao Heng's sleeve, and said to Zhao Heng Heng said: "Then let's go."
When Zhao Heng received the bamboo slips, his expression frowned, but his face immediately changed to a smile, and he bowed respectfully and said: "Sister Huang, go slowly."
After Yun Kai left, the prince told the housekeeper a few words, saying that he wanted to read a book and not to disturb anyone else, and then returned to the study. At this time, two servants were whispering. One said: "Do you want to report this to the prince?" The other said: "What they just said in the house was nothing important. It was just an ordinary princess. It’s just a matter of looking after my younger brother. The prince has sent someone to explain in the past few days that he is currently preparing for a big event. He asked me to be wary of the visit of some ministers from the court. The princess is not considered a minister...it should be nothing."
The person said: "That's right. In the past few days, we basically went to report the prince's situation to the prince every day. We couldn't see anyone for a while, which made Butler Hu suspicious. Recently, the prince said that we would only report the key things and not the trivial matters. There’s no need to go, besides, if Butler Hu catches me, there will definitely be no good results.”
While the two were talking privately, Butler Hu stood beside them and shouted: "It's you two again. What are you talking about here when you are not doing business!? Why don't you hurry up and clean up the front hall."
The two of them were startled and ran to the front hall to clean up without mentioning the report.
The prince returned to the study, closed the door firmly, took out the bamboo slip in his sleeve and took a look. He saw the word "Da Jian" engraved on the bamboo slip and frowned.
