When Jiu Zhu woke up, it was still before dawn. She was woken up by hunger. She looked at King Chen who was still sleeping, and secretly got up from the bed.
"Where are you going?" King Chen opened his eyes and grabbed her hand: "It's not yet dawn."
"I'm hungry." Jiuzhu rubbed her stomach, remembering that the two of them didn't even eat dinner last night, she asked with a blushing face, "Your Highness, are you hungry?"
"Wait." King Chen got up from the bed, took off his robe and put it on Jiuzhu: "You sit on the bed and wait, I'll ask someone to do it for you."
When he passed by Jiu Zhu, King Chen bent down and kissed her cheek gently, pretending to be calm: "Just wait for me to come back."
If it wasn't for the red ears that betrayed him, he would be a mature, stable, gentle and calm husband.
Putting his hands behind his back and trying his best to make his back look graceful, King Chen lifted the curtain and walked outside: "Someone."
"Your Highness." The eunuch and the palace maid who was watching the night quickly got up and walked to King Chen.
"Go and prepare breakfast." He glanced at the night outside the window, it was indeed a bit early to eat the morning meal.
"My lord, the Spring Equinox girl has already instructed the kitchen to prepare the food, and the servants will bring it here." The palace maid bowed and exited the house.
King Chen nodded in satisfaction. In terms of serving Jiuzhu, the servants of the Ming family knew better.
He sighed, he missed the scumbags from Prince Chen's mansion, at least they knew what he wanted when he raised his eyebrows.
After breakfast, Jiuzhu sat in front of the dressing table and did her makeup.
"Your Highness, will these jewelry be too luxurious?"
"You're going to see four sisters-in-law today, and you must use the best fabrics and jewelry." King Chen painted her a flower tin, bent over and whispered in her ear: "As a princess, if you dress too simply , they will praise you for being virtuous and diligent on the surface, but behind the scenes they will suspect that you are not valued by me."
"As a woman, she uses her husband's favor as a weapon." Jiu Zhu lowered her eyelids slightly, and the smile on her face faded.
"The way of the world is always unfair to women." King Chen picked a pair of steps and inserted them between the beaded temples: "Although I can't change everyone in the world, I will try to make you suffer less injustice."
When he was very young, his mother told him that most women in the world are not easy. When he grows up, he should not become a man who treats women harshly.
"I always knew that His Highness is a rare good man in the world." Jiu Zhu raised her head and smiled at King Chen.
King Chen accepted this sentence with peace of mind.
As the saying goes, Xi Shi is in the eyes of the lover. Jiuzhu likes him, of course she thinks he is a rare man in the world.
No problem.
As soon as it was dawn, the two of them set off from the Qilin Palace and hurried to the Zhangliu Palace.
"We didn't go yesterday, wouldn't it be rude?" The two of them sat on the double chariot. From time to time, palace servants with lanterns passed by them. Jiu Zhu looked at the palace where she couldn't see the end, and leaned towards King Chen. Come on.
"Do you really think that they simply want to meet us?" Chen Wang smiled lightly: "These years, they have been brooding about me, but they have not dared to attack me. This time, there is finally an upright reason to let them They are looking forward to receiving my gift."
Jiuzhu: "…"
The feelings of the royal brothers are really complicated.
"When you arrive at Zhang Liugong, I will leave everything to me." He held her hand in his palm and played with it: "I promise not to let you suffer."
"Yeah." Jiuzhu nodded.
Before entering the palace, her father had told her about the temperament and background of the five princes in the palace, as well as the struggles and entanglements between them.
The gatekeeper of Zhangliu Palace listened to the knocking on the door outside, yawned and tidied up his wrinkled clothes, and was about to ask who was visiting when he heard someone from outside shouting: "Prince Chen and Princess Chen are visiting Your Royal Highnesses, please open the door."
King Chen and Princess Chen
The eunuch guarding the door even crawled to open the door, but did not dare to lift his head: "I have seen the prince and the princess before."
"Are the four brothers of this king awake?"
"Go back to His Highness, the four His Royal Highnesses are not awake at the moment."
King Chen led Jiuzhu into the yard: "It's okay, ask someone to serve melon and fruit desserts. The king and the princess will wait in the outer courtyard for a while. None of you can disturb the master until they wake up."
The palace people responded with their mouths. In fact, who dared to let King Chen and Princess Chen take advantage of the opportunity to pour tea for the two of them, and some of the palace people quietly went to call the masters of each courtyard.
King Chen raised his eyebrows and glanced at the few palace servants who had sneaked away, pretending that he didn't see anything, and smiled at Jiuzhu: "I lived here for a while, and I'm not used to moving out."
Jiuzhu laughed softly, and when she turned to the first room, she saw a few court ladies who looked familiar looking at her, and she beckoned to them: "Come."
"Prince Concubine." A palace maid took out the braided tie from her bosom: "This is the style of the tie you asked about when you came to Zhang Liugong last time. The servant made a new one for you."
"Princess, this is the flower rope that the servant made for you. Take a look." Another palace maid also turned the flower rope out.
King Chen: "..."
With the princess here, is he still majestic as a prince
King Huai was sleeping when he heard someone calling him constantly, he sat up impatiently, and said with a gloomy face, "What's the matter?"
Last night, thinking about Yun Duqing releasing their pigeons, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He struggled until he fell asleep in the middle of the night. What's the great thing at this moment, he must be called up
"My lord, the lord Chen and the princess are here to visit."
"What?" King Huai opened his sleepy eyes, opened the window and glanced outside the house, burning with anger, "It's still dark, what is he doing here?!"
Are you sick
I waited for a whole day yesterday, but no one was seen. Everyone was sleeping soundly now, and he came to visit.
As long as it has something to do with people, Yun Duqing will not do half of it!
"King Chen said, you don't need to ask the lord to get up." The little eunuch saw that the lord was so angry that his facial features were twisted, and he quickly said, "My lord, you can sleep a little longer."
"Serve this king changing clothes." King Huai took a deep breath. Having said that, he couldn't really let Yun Duqing sit and wait in the outer courtyard, not to mention the daughter of the Ming family.
He now dares to let Yun Duqing wait for him in the outer courtyard, and after an hour, the matter will be heard by the father.
"Send someone to inform the princess, let her freshen up a little, and come out to talk to the fifth siblings."
It was Yun Yanze and his wife who were discharged from the hospital before King Huai. Yun Yanze walked up to King Chen and said, "Fifth younger brother, fifth younger brother and younger sister, you have come so early."
"Fourth brother." King Chen smiled: "My princess has just entered the door, of course I have to bring her to greet my brothers."
"Little pig." He tapped the back of Jiuzhu's hand with his fingertips: "Come on, call me fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law."
"Fourth brother and four sisters-in-law are good." Jiuzhu stood up and wanted to salute, but Sun Caiyao quickly stopped her: "My family doesn't pay attention to this, my sister sits down and talks."
"The fourth sister-in-law is right." King Chen raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Jiuzhu, sit at ease."
The smile on Sun Caiyao's face was almost unstoppable. According to the usual practice, between brothers, sisters, brothers and sisters-in-law, there should be some concessions before starting to greet each other. She didn't expect His Royal Highness Chen Wang to be so upright, saying that he didn't pay attention to etiquette, so she really let Ming Jiuzhu sit down.
What's even more bizarre is that when King Chen said this, Ming Jiuzhu obeyed and did not even mean to persuade.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, but fortunately, King Huai appeared at this time, which eased the embarrassment in Sun Caiyao's heart.
"Big brother also got up?" King Chen didn't seem to see the blue shadow in King Huai's eyes: "Early to bed and early to rise is good, big brother sits down and accompanies brother to drink a cup of tea."
The person who can sleep early with peace of mind is only you, only you!
King Huai smiled grimly, he walked over to King Chen and sat down: "Brother came so early today?"
"Last night, I thought about it for a long time, and I shouldn't disturb the four brothers at night." King Chen looked at the sunrise, who was slowly struggling out of the sky: "But I couldn't come to see a few brothers, so I couldn't sleep at night. Tasteless. So this morning, I brought the princess to visit my brothers to show my sincerity."
fart.
King Huai didn't want to believe a word of what Yun Duqing said.
Since childhood, when did Yun Duqing observe etiquette
Back then, he even dared to secretly eat the beef jerky hidden in his sleeves in the late emperor's mourning hall. Although he had a share in it, he also ate it later, but this was enough to prove that Yun Duqing was not a man of the rules.
He can't sleep at night because of this kind of thing, can't eat
Yun Duqing was embarrassed to say this, but he was embarrassed to believe it.
Being disgusted enough, he also smiled generously: "Fifth brother, you are the prefect, don't do this next time."
After doing this a few more times, the brothers can't stand it, and the hair on their heads can't stand it either.
An Wang was the last to arrive, and he adjusted his belt as he walked: "Fifth brother, you are too early."
King Chen repeated the remarks just now.
An Wang: "..."
It's outrageous, who would believe this
He turned his head to look at the fifth brother and sister, and saw that she was nodding all the time, his eyes full of unshakable trust in the fifth brother.
That's all, there are all kinds of men and women in the world, and there are always a small number of people who are particularly compatible.
After the four brothers and sisters were all together, King Chen took Jiuzhu and bowed to them.
"Between our sister-in-law, you are the youngest and I am the oldest." Princess Huai handed the prepared gift to Jiuzhu: "There is no one else in the palace, and we communicate more on weekdays."
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Jiuzhu smiled and thanked.
"This is a gift I prepared for my fifth siblings." Princess An was beautiful and her voice was clear and moving: "I usually like the most iconic characters. If you visit the Qilin Palace in the future, the fifth siblings must not find me annoying."
Jiuzhu caught the gift box that Princess An had stuffed, and looked at her face carefully: "Second sister-in-law is a stunning beauty."
Princess An laughed even more happily, took off the bracelet from her wrist and put it directly on Jiuzhu's wrist.
She likes the sweet-mouthed and discerning woman like the fifth sibling.
Princess Jing's character seemed to be a little silent. After a few polite words with Jiuzhu, she stood behind the two sisters-in-law and did not speak.
"Ming... five younger siblings." Sun Caiyao lowered her eyelids slightly, almost every time she stood with Ming Jiuzhu, she didn't have the courage to look her in the eye.
Every time Ming Jiuzhu appeared, she silently reminded her that she was a thief.
Since she was a child, everyone's upbringing and her selfishness have constantly tormented her.
"Sister-in-law four?" Jiuzhu looked at her with a smile: "what's the matter with you?"
