Rong Lingzhan tugged at the hem of his clothes nervously. The waiter not far away seemed to notice and glanced at him subconsciously.
There was actually no meaning in that look, it was just a casual glance, and he immediately retracted it, returning to the eight-fengdong attitude of observing the eyes, nose, nose, and heart.
But the young Prince Gaomi suddenly felt a little annoyed and felt that his actions were very stage frightening.
And he thought he shouldn't have stage fright.
After all, the current owner of this palace, in a sense, stole the position of his father, the current Gaomi King Rong Qingzuo.
Otherwise, he should be one of the owners here now.
So no matter what, he couldn't show any lack of dignity in front of his current masters.
It was only when this thought came to mind that his parents' warnings over the years were still fresh in his mind, making him lower his head in frustration like a deflated rubber ball: His grandfather, the emperor, worked tirelessly to compete with the late emperor for the throne, and his uncle Emperor Zhenqing also relied on his own ability to get on stage... Looking at it this way, it doesn't make sense to say that Emperor Zhenqing robbed Rong Qingzui of something.
After all, the Supreme Emperor had never held a high position in his life. His status as Supreme Emperor was that he was granted the posthumous title by Rong Suihe, who was on the front line after his death. The ceremony for chasing the wind was careless, and even the funeral was held at the Gaomi Palace.
"I don't know, uncle, ah, it's His Majesty the Emperor. What will you ask me later?" Rong Lingzhan, who lowered his head, felt a little uneasy, "Over the years, we have been peacefully staying in the fiefdom and have never done anything against His Majesty. According to the speculations of my father and mother, there shouldn't be anything bad in your majesty's sudden summons to me this time... After all, my father, mother and concubines can't threaten your majesty for a long time. Even if your majesty still has any grievances about the past, It’s not like I only remembered it after so many years... But why did you suddenly summon me here?"
Rong Lingzhan accompanied his parents to observe the filial piety of the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager, and was less than ten years old when he went to the fiefdom, but now he is twenty-five.
Over there in the fiefdom, he was married and had three children, two sons and one daughter.
This is because his biological mother, Qi, the current Princess of Gaomi, followed the blessings her mother-in-law, the Empress Dowager, had given her, and was very opposed to her son's flirting with women.
The filial Rong Lingzhan was just like Rong Qingzui back then. He only stayed with his wife and was not swayed by the outside world. Therefore, he was married at seventeen and had only three children at twenty-five.
His wife is the daughter of a small official in the fiefdom. From the perspective of the royal family, she seems to have a little family spirit due to her background.
However, with her outstanding appearance and gentle temperament, what Rong Lingzhan values most is his wife's filial piety towards her parents-in-law, which can be said to be her dedication.
His father-in-law is still working as a minor official in the fiefdom. He is a cautious and sensible man. He has never been arrogant and domineering because his daughter became the wife of the heir apparent.
The children are still young, and although they are a little naughty, they are still at home, and they have not yet gone out to harm outsiders and harm the family.
So, I really can’t figure out why he was suddenly recalled to Chang’an
"Are you my brother?" Prince Gaomi was thinking uneasily when a clear voice suddenly came from not far away.
He was startled, looked up, and saw a young man wearing a bright yellow robe and a jade crown, surrounded by three or four palace people, standing on the steps of the palace, looking at him thoughtfully.
Although this was the first time I saw this young man, his features and eyes vaguely resembled those of his uncle when he was young.
Rong Lingzhan calmed down, suppressed the sourness and complexity that suddenly appeared in his heart, and bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, Rong Lingzhan, has met His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Brother, there's no need to be polite!" Rong Juan took two steps forward, stretched out his hand to support him, and asked a little casually, "I've heard that my brother will come over a long time ago. I don't want to meet him in front of my father yet, so I'll meet him here first... Uncle Huang How are you and Aunt Huang? In the past two years, I have often heard my mother mention Aunt Huang, saying that Aunt Huang left Chang'an because of illness and lived in the fief for many years. I don't know how she is doing now. "
Rong Lingzhan felt that the expression on his brows was a bit too casual, and it didn't look like he really cared about Rong Qingzui and his wife.
But considering that he had basically never met Rong Qingzuo and his wife, it was indeed difficult for him to have any feelings, and he was not angry. He only said: "Thank you, the Queen, for your concern, and thank you, Your Highness, for asking: Everything is fine with your father and mother. "
Rong Juan said "hmm" and said: "Uncle Huang and Aunt Huang were born and raised in Chang'an. Although they have lived in the fiefdom for these years, they are probably not very used to it. If you want to, it would be better to move back to Chang'an. How many things are there here? Be lively!”
Rong Lingzhan was startled when he heard the words. He didn't know whether his cousin said it casually, or whether Emperor Zhenqing had already had such a plan and Rong Juan knew it, so he said it.
While he was lowering his head and thinking, he heard Rong Juan ask again: "What are your usual hobbies, brother?"
"I am stupid. I just like to read books and listen to music on weekdays." Rong Lingzhan was stunned after hearing this. The hobbies he mentioned were half true and half false. Reading books is true, and listening to music is false. The reason for listening Qu'er simply wanted to create a situation in which he was not so ambitious and had no ambitions, in order to avoid suspicion.
Unexpectedly, when Rong Juan heard this, he frowned and said, "Brother, don't you usually go out? That's what men like me should do, hold a sword, mount a horse, and go into battle to fight, isn't it?"
"Your Highness, now that the world is at peace, why do you need Your Highness to shoot arrows yourself?" Rong Lingzhan was finding it difficult to accept these words. Fortunately, a servant behind Rong Juan coughed dryly and reminded him, "And if Mrs. Kui Guo knows that you are I secretly ran out to hunt... I'm afraid I'll have to come to the palace again to visit and feel sorry for you!"
Rong Juan trembled immediately after hearing this, showing fear, and said with a headache: "You must not let grandma know... otherwise grandma will hold me and cry for a long time when she comes... I am really afraid of grandma. He’s an old man!”
The chamberlain laughed and said, "Mrs. Kui Guo is also worried about you."
Their master and servant chatted for a while. Rong Lingzhan listened silently and gradually understood in his mind: Although Rong Juan is the prince, he has had top famous teachers personally selected by Rong Suihe and his wife since he was a child. With all-round guidance, Rong Suihe, who was born in the top 10, would even give his son some extra time when he had time, but he couldn't stop him from focusing on his studies at all!
When he was relatively young, the emperor and empress still maintained an optimistic attitude towards him, thinking that maybe it would be better if he grew up and became more sensible.
And just as Sheng Weiqiao said to Feng, Rong Juan is the prince. As long as he can govern the country and suppress his subordinates, it doesn't matter whether his homework is good or bad!
When I got older, I only spent time at the shooting range all day long. When I came to class, I felt dizzy and uncomfortable. I was almost old enough to lose my hair, and my handwriting was crooked, like a dog crawling. Even a lot of slightly unfamiliar words simply can’t be written!
His teacher Luo Pu was from the same school as Emperor Zhenqing. He was both a minister and a master. He was extremely grateful to Emperor Zhenqing and vowed to repay his kindness with all his heart in his life. He even burst into tears after receiving the errand of teaching the prince. Eyes filled with tears, show the utmost sincerity that you will do your best to fight to the death!
I couldn't stand up to this scumbag's dissatisfaction, so I couldn't bear it anymore and went to cry in front of the empress!
Then Rong Suihe and Sheng Weiqiao looked at the prince's homework and were completely shocked!
The emperor and the empress did not sleep for a whole night, thinking deeply about why they had such a son
You must know that even Sheng Weiqiao, who is admitted to be unlearned and unskilled, is better at homework than this son, and he is obviously better... So, can this be tolerated? !
The emperor and empress discussed it all night and came to a unified conclusion, that is, they were too gentle to their son!
Drowning a child is like killing a child!
The next morning, Rong Suihe took matters into his own hands, beat the prince violently, and ordered him to practice his calligraphy to perfection within a month, otherwise he would not mind being beaten three times a day at mealtimes!
Rong Juan, who had never been treated like this by her parents, still expected to cry in front of her mother to gain sympathy. Who knew that when she arrived at Wangchun Palace, she was scolded by Sheng Weiqiao: "You bastard! Look at your homework! You Mother, I spent three days fishing and two days drying nets, but I was better than you! If you are really stupid to this extent, I will admit it! You don't care at all, and you still have the nerve to tell me about your father?! I Tell you, your father explained your business. If you didn't do it, when he turned back, I would hand him a family guy! What do you fight! Don't think you hurt you after your mother, this I’ll turn to you soon!”
"I don't want to be like Empress Dowager Meng. After she dies, she still has to be criticized for not being able to discipline her son well, and for creating a foolish king who harms all living beings. It should not end well!"
Rong Juan had no choice but to practice calligraphy with tears in her eyes.
As a result, after a month, there were some results, so just like Xu Baomo, ah no, the most typical one is Li Shengxu, Rong Shuihe and his wife saw it and became more and more determined in their thinking: Look, there is just too little fighting. ! He had just beaten him once, and he had achieved such an achievement. If he was like the Xu family who treated Xu Baomo, they would beat him twice if nothing happened... Are you afraid that this kid will not be successful? !
One can only imagine the days that will follow for the poor prince!
After all, although his grandparents are no longer here, and his uncle, aunt, and family are far away in the fiefdom, his grandfather and grandmother are still there, and they care about their childhood friendship and love him very much.
After hearing the news, Mrs. Feng immediately went to the palace to visit her grandson!
After seeing her grandson's nose and face swollen after being beaten, Feng became furious on the spot and called Sheng Weiqiao to him and cursed him!
Rong Juan is looking forward to a happy life in the future!
Who knew that his biological mother Sheng Weiqiao had been his "sweetheart" for decades. Although when she was pregnant with Rong Juan, her aunt Xuan Yu Feng reminded her that after the child was born, she would most likely take over as her new "sweetheart". But after Rong Juan landed, he didn't compare her very much, so this little ancestor of Rong Suihe's whole life has become accustomed to being the baby of his parents.
Now that I was punished by my mother for my son’s affairs, I felt extremely aggrieved!
