The fairy fruit and fairy water incident caused an uproar in the capital. There is only one fairy fruit, except for the emperor and queen, who has the life (courage) to eat it. But fairy water is different. The four people who received the immortal water from Emperor Yongming made many people's eyes red with envy. And the "rumor" that the newly recruited Zhongyonghou must have drunk fairy water early in the morning also spread all over the streets. But no matter how many people wanted to rob Zhongyonghou with jealousy, the four who received the reward were completely reborn.
Except for King Luo Rong, Elder Cen, Elder Weng and Old General Dai all chose to take the celestial water with their partners. It's not that they are reluctant to give it to their children, just like what Shen Bing, the eldest daughter-in-law of the old general, said, this fairy water was originally bestowed by the emperor to the old man, and they would be criticized if they drank it as children. Not much, if you want to distribute it to your children, as for the children of your children, it is better not to divide it.
The son of King Luo Rong has a heart disease, so there is nothing wrong with King Luo Rong giving it to him, and no one will make irresponsible remarks. King Luo Rong gave it to Guo Zimu, it was sincere. But neither King Luo Rong nor the prince ever imagined that Guo Zimu would give his share to King Luo Rong. It was also this incident that made Murong Shizi, who always had some doubts deep in his heart, completely believe that this new little father, whom he had never seen in front of him so far, really cared about his father.
After recovering, King Luo Rong was half lying on the bed, holding Guo Zimu tightly in his arms. His eyes were a little red, Murong Shizi was no longer in the room. There was still some mess on the ground outside. Guo Zimu took off his mask, and looked at King Luo Rong's much whiter profile and his darker hair with a smile on his lips.
"Xiao Mu..." King Luo Rong's voice was hoarse.
Guo Zimu covered his mouth with a smile in his eyes: "Now you can marry me with confidence."
King Luo Rong pulled Guo Zimu's hand and kissed him. The purpose of his life's suffering was to meet this little fool who always made him feel distressed and always made him feel deeply happy.
In Shizi Murong's room, he sat behind the desk with a relaxed body, and the housekeeper of the palace stood in front of him respectfully. Murong Shizi has been in deep thought, the housekeeper dared not ask the prince why he came here, so he could only stand there and wait patiently.
After a long time, Murong Shizi raised his eyes: "I remember, the accountant of the palace is your son-in-law."
As soon as the butler heard this, he knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty, the old slave has been strictly disciplined him. He has always been diligent and diligent, and dare not make any mistakes, let alone move any crooked thoughts!"
Murong Shizi let the housekeeper kneel down like that, and said slowly: "Before, I had more energy than I wanted, and father was not good at running the house. You should take the lead in all matters in this house. Now it is different from the past. Father Shan is very We are going to marry Zhengjun soon, so we need a serious master to take charge of the house in our palace. We can't just expose this matter just because Wang Zhengjun is introverted. Marrying Zhengjun is a big event in the palace, and the palace will send people to the palace to help. Let the mansion The servants here are all smart, I don't want to hear that there was anything wrong before Wang Zhengjun came in. If things are not done well, you, the butler, don't have to do it."
"The old slave dare not slack off, and will definitely not let Zhengjun enter the door in any way."
"Let the accountant bring all the account books tomorrow, and I want to check the accounts."
"… yes!"
"Okay, let's go."
The butler stood up tremblingly, saluted, and bowed back. After retreating to the door and closing it, he dared to raise his sleeve to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, his back was already completely wet.
Looking at the time, Prince Murong got up and left the study, the gate of Xie En Palace will be closed if you don't go to the palace. Because Guo Zimu didn't like to meet outsiders, there were no servants inside or outside the Green Bamboo Courtyard where King Luo Rong lived. Murong Shizi pushed open the courtyard door, walked into the courtyard, coughed twice, and then raised his voice, "Father, are you okay? We have to hurry into the palace to thank you."
The two people who were skin-to-skin in the room hurriedly separated, King Luo Rong quickly got up and put on his clothes, and at the same time shouted back: "You go to the front hall first, Dad will be there in a while."
"good."
Prince Murong left, but he still called the two servant girls he met on the way to wait outside the gate of the Green Bamboo Courtyard.
Guo Zimu knelt on the bed to dress Luo Rongwang, his long hair was loose, and he was so naked with affection in his eyes, and the traces of last night's passion and the imprinted just now remained on his fair body. King Luo Rong couldn't help but hugged him and gave him another deep kiss, then forced him to back away, and said in a voice full of lust: "The emperor said that he and the queen will have to cultivate for a few days. I'm afraid you won't see anyone, so you don't have to go." Yes. You've been tired all day, eat first, don't wait for me. I'll go back as soon as I go."
"I'll wait for you to come back." Guo Zimu fastened the belt for King Luo Rong and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Knowing that the other party would definitely wait for him to come back before eating, King Luo Rong lifted the other party's chin and kissed him again. Without age concerns, King Luo Rong was like a boy who had just tasted love, wishing he could stay with Guo Zimu all the time, and what was inseparable was another deep kiss, Guo Zimu gasped and collapsed in King Luo Rong's arms.
King Luo Rong put the man on the bed and said, "Just eat the noodles. I'm leaving."
"Go."
Pulling the quilt to cover Guo Zimu's beautiful body, Luo Rongwang walked away step by step. The reluctance of the other party made Guo Zimu purse his lips and chuckle, and he could stay with Luo Rongwang for the rest of his life. Guo Zimu pulled up the quilt to cover his head, and a happy laugh came out.
King Luo Rong hurried to the front hall to meet the son, the spring on his face made the son shake his head in his heart, his father really fell into it. But thinking of Guo Zimu's actions, the son can also understand why his father got into it. Pretending not to see the hickey on his father's collar, the prince said: "Father, the car is ready, let's go directly to the palace?"
"Well, go directly to the palace." King Luo Rong kept walking, walked out, and said, "You may not be able to see the emperor. I'm afraid there will be many people coming to the mansion in recent days, so I leave it to you. The capital is your little father's heartbreak." Hey, dad wants to accompany him well."
"Dad, don't worry, the boy won't let irrelevant people bother you and little dad. Over there Zhongyonghou..."
"They will definitely come over after their busy work, so there is no need to invite them specially."
"yes."
The father and son got into the carriage, and after the carriage drove, the eldest son said: "Father, I will go to Yulin Temple in a few days, so you don't want to go."
King Luo Rong immediately said: "How can it be done? If father wants to marry Zhengjun, he must always tell your mother that you should tell her when you are well."
The prince said expressionlessly: "Maybe she is chanting scriptures behind closed doors. If you go and don't see her, it's not a waste of time. Let me go. I'll take Xiaohui with me. You can accompany Xiaohui well in the mansion." father."
King Luo Rong sighed and asked, "Don't blame your mother. She is dedicated to the Buddha. If it weren't for your grandfather's decree, she would have been able to become a monk at ease. She recites scriptures every day to pray for you."
The prince avoided this question indifferently, and only said: "If she knows that you are going to marry Zhengjun, maybe you will be ordained ordained to become a monk, and she can't say whether she will see you again in the future."
King Luo Rong patted his son, but said nothing. It's not that he doesn't know the son's resentment towards his mother, but he can't change the concubine's dedication to Buddha, nor can he change the son's heart knot towards his mother. After the birth of the son, the princess went to Yulin Temple after confinement. For more than 20 years, even when she returned to the palace, she still chanted scriptures and practiced Buddhism in the Buddhist hall. He could not blame the son for complaining about his biological mother.
"Then tell her, I'll see her when I'm free here. Xiaohui, let him stay there for a few more days, and pick him up when the mansion is more peaceful."
"yes."
The carriage drove all the way into the palace and stopped at the front gate of the hall. King Luo Rong is a prince, so he doesn't have to get off his horse (car) to enter the palace. Murong Shizi, who got out of the car first, helped his father get out of the car. Just as Luo Rongwang stood still, two more carriages drove up behind him. Seeing the surnames embroidered on the two carriages, King Luo Rong laughed out loud.
The two cars stopped one after the other. The old couple Weng and Cen got on and off the "Weng" character car, and the old general, old lady and Lao Zhengjun got off the "Dai" character car. When they watched the obvious change in each other's appearance, there was still obvious excitement in everyone's eyes. The old general didn't have a cane, he said in a loud voice: "Everyone will come to my house tomorrow."
Old Weng answered: "Then go to my house in the future, we old guys haven't had a drink together for a long time."
King Luo Rong immediately scolded with a smile: "You don't want to say that I am old anymore, I can marry Zhengjun."
The others laughed, and the old general pointed at King Luo Rong and said, "Look at you, you are beautiful. You are going to marry Zhengjun now, and we haven't let our brothers meet him yet, so you should be punished!"
Weng Lao: "It should be punished." He said to the old general: "Tomorrow, let's have a 'good' drink with him."
"right!"
"Hahaha… "
The three "old men" who were in a good mood went to thank each other after joking. Not surprisingly, Emperor Yongming and the Empress did not see them, and only let Guo Xun pass the message. The emperor is not free these days, so don't enter the palace to disturb if you have nothing important to do. A group of people kowtowed at the entrance of the emperor's bedroom to thank them, and then left together.
In the emperor's bedroom at this time, slight groans came from the dragon bed where the bed curtain fell. Finally, Emperor Yongming, who no longer needed any scruples, thought it was time for the empress to give birth to a prince. The two hadn't had skin-to-skin contact for too long, and they couldn't even remember the last time they made out without any scruples. Guo Xun and Zhuo Jin picked up the clothes that the two masters threw all the way to the dragon bed from the moment they entered the door, put them away, and guarded them strictly outside the bedroom door so that no one would disturb them.
The Zhongyonghou Mansion hadn't been repaired yet, Shao Yun'an and Wang Shijing chose to live in the General's Mansion with their three children and three beasts without any psychological burden. It can be said that the decision of the two is very wise. Not to mention how much the few people who knew the inside story hoped that they could live here, but the signboard of the General's Mansion could prevent them from a lot of trouble. Not long after he came out of the palace, invitations from all parties were sent to the General's Mansion like snowflakes. Wang Shijing and Shao Yun'an were blind to the twists and turns between the dignitaries in the capital, and with the people from the General's Mansion helping them deal with it, the two of them felt a lot more relaxed.
The three sons of the old general Dai are not separated, and the only daughter lives in the mansion all year round. The General's Mansion is run by the eldest daughter-in-law Shen Bing. As the eldest daughter-in-law of the general's mansion, she must not be competent for a gentle woman. As one of the people who knew Shao Yun'an's identity, Shen Bing politely rejected almost all the invitations sent to the General's Mansion on the grounds that Zhongyonghou and Zhengjun had just come to the capital and were involved in many affairs. Wang Shijing had just been conferred the title of Marquis of Zhongyong, and he obtained it by presenting fairy fruits. If he is busy going to visit the various prefectures now, it will definitely not benefit him in the future to gain a firm foothold in the capital and his position in the heart of the emperor.
Shen Bing didn't hide this matter from Shao Yun'an, Shao Yun'an was very grateful to Shen Bing (the eldest aunt) for thinking about them, he was impatient to socialize with those people he didn't know, and left it to Shen Bing to help him handle it.
Compared with this, Jiang Kangning, who seemed to be the emperor's former celebrity, was not so lucky. He can't hide in his adoptive father's house. Although he has a promising future, the emperor bluntly said that the position of Minister of the Household Department will be reserved for him, but Jiang Kangning can't take Joe, but should be more cautious in every step. Jiang Kangning accepted all the invitations from all parties, but when he turned around, he asked the housekeeper of Jiang's mansion to prepare suitable gifts and send them to some big families to express his apology for not being able to visit. On the third day, Jiang Kangning left the capital with the father-in-law sent by Emperor Yongming to accompany him to Yongxiu County to announce the decree, but before leaving, Jiang Kangning went to the General's Mansion.
