Time flies, a few days later.
In the small courtyard in the Imperial Garden, Concubine Li was sitting with a sad face, looking at Chen He opposite, "Recently, my heart has been fluctuating."
"I always wake up at night, thinking that the emperor is coming several times, but it's quiet outside, brother, the emperor has not come for half a month, what should I do?"
"The emperor has been busy looking for alchemy Taoist priests recently, and he is about to sacrifice to heaven. The master Yiyi has not yet come out of the mountain. Besides, the emperor is also very busy these days. He spends every night in the imperial study, not going to other palaces." Chen He held it up. Tea, took a sip slowly, and said casually, "No need to worry."
"Master Yiyi hasn't come out of the mountain yet? No..."
"Master Yiyi is a master. How can he come out of the mountain when he is invited casually? He has already lived in seclusion in the deep forest, and I have to go a few more times." Chen He interrupted her, glanced at the two maids at the side, and raised his voice.
"What brother said is true." Concubine Li immediately understood, and after a pause, she said to the two maids, "Go down and help me prepare mung bean cakes first, I'm hungry."
"Yes, empress." The two bowed and turned to leave.
Waiting for no one, Concubine Li looked anxiously at Chen He again, "Is this really possible? What if the emperor finds out?"
"Now that the emperor is obsessed with searching for the elixir of immortality, he will naturally not let go of any hope. Brother Tianxiang has already asked someone to figure it out. At that time, there will be a rare spectacle that is rarely seen in a hundred years. The emperor cannot believe it." Chen He smiled. Looking at her, he said slowly, "At that time, the Taoist will say that the place led by the purple light is Suya Palace."
Hearing this, the corners of Li Fei's mouth slowly turned into a smile, "Brother, what you mean is..."
"Sister, you have to work hard. This person born in Suya Palace has a heavy responsibility, and he will definitely benefit the people." Chen He said proudly.
"Sister understands." Concubine Li finished speaking, and spoke again, "But the emperor has brought the eldest prince with him recently, I don't know why."
Still being around to instruct in person, which has never been done before.
"The emperor may have cared about it for a while on a whim. It stands to reason that the eldest prince is favored, and the Jiang family and the empress are also favored. But look, Jiang Yan was dispatched to the northwest. How many times does the emperor stay in the empress palace in a month? "Chen He sneered after finishing speaking, "Those ministers are also waiting and watching now, thinking that the First Prince may turn the tables, and they are afraid of standing in the wrong team, it is simply ridiculous."
Concubine Li nodded as soon as she heard it, "What brother said is true, the emperor may be on a whim, and I have never seen such care for the eldest prince before, and General Jiang Yan is in the difficult Northwest, the emperor may also have this aspect concern."
"Maybe." Chen He didn't care.
at this time.
A court lady's call came from a distance, "Prince, please slow down, this servant can't keep up with you."
"You slow down."
"Father is still waiting for me, hurry up, hurry up, or I won't wait for you." Ji Chen's immature voice came, urging, "Hurry up!"
"Eldest prince, please slow down, don't fall, or the servant will not be able to explain to the empress, please slow down." The maid still ran behind him.
"No, Father is going to teach me horseback riding and archery today. I've been looking forward to it for a long time, hurry up!" Ji Chen said as he kept running forward with his short legs.
Concubine Li got up and walked down, blocking his way, "I've seen the First Prince, the First Prince is in such a hurry, where are you going?"
"My minister has met the eldest prince." Chen He also saluted.
"Father is waiting for me, I'm going to find Father." Ji Chen stood in front of the two, his round eyes fell on them.
"The eldest prince isn't going to review his homework today? The emperor is very busy recently, and I'm afraid he won't be able to play with the eldest prince." Concubine Li said with a smile.
There is only one prince, Ji Chen, in the entire palace, not even a princess, even if he is not valued, he is the only prince.
"I can wait for my father, besides, my father promised me yesterday, and my father will not break my promise." Ji Chen pursed his lips, a little anxious, "Can you get out of the way? Block my way."
"Does the eldest prince know where the emperor is? My servant will take you there." Chen He stepped aside and spoke respectfully.
"Father is waiting for me at the Jianting Pavilion, then you take me." Ji Chen replied.
"The First Prince, please." Chen He made a gesture, and then followed behind him, asking as he walked, "The First Prince is going to the Jianting Pavilion to ride a horse and shoot arrows?"
"certainly."
"It's no wonder you're wearing a riding and shooting outfit today. It's very good-looking." Chen He continued to smile and said, his eyes still fell on him, and he praised him very sincerely.
"My mother sewed this for me. My father also said it looks good. They all said it looks good. I know it looks good. You don't need to tell me." Ji Chen was a little arrogant.
Chen He: "..."
"It's really pretty, but my concubine said it was cool, do you know what it means to be cool?" Ji Chen turned to look at him.
"...I don't know." Chen He was confused, "I've never heard of this word before."
"Then you must not know what it means to be handsome." Ji Chen raised his chin a little more, and glanced at him sideways.
"I really don't know, please ask the eldest prince to give some advice." Chen He asked for advice.
"You are so stupid, Father knows what it means, you don't know, none of you are as knowledgeable as Father, and the Taifu doesn't know either." Ji Chen said proudly, and snorted softly, "From now on, my homework will be done by Father comes to teach, you are not as good as my father."
"How can a humble minister be compared with the emperor, the eldest prince is smart, and I am afraid that the minister is far behind." Chen He said with a look of panic.
"The emperor still has to deal with important matters in the court, so I'm afraid he doesn't have that much time to teach the eldest prince." Concubine Li was displeased when she heard that, and she spoke about father, mother, and concubine, which made her very upset.
In the past, he was just a little bastard who was ignored by no one. After being valued by the emperor for a few days, he really thought he was a little prince
"Father said he would make time." Ji Chen didn't want to look at her, ran to the door and already knew his way, so he quickened his pace and ran in.
Ji Yang's figure was not far away. He was wearing a purple robe and holding a bow and arrow in his hand. When he let go, the arrow shot out and hit the bull's-eye.
Ji Chen laughed and called out from afar, "Father!"
The child's voice was so sharp that the echo could be heard, and Eunuch A Fu looked over lovingly, "Oh, eldest prince, you can run slowly."
Ji Yang also turned around, and Ji Chen ran up to him and stood in front of him, panting and politely saluted, "I have seen my father."
"Get up." After Ji Yang finished speaking, he said lightly, "Don't be so reckless next time."
"My son knows, thank you father."
Ji Yang nodded, looked at Chen He and Concubine Li who were walking over, and they also bowed to him, Chen He explained, "I saw the eldest prince on the road, and I heard that he was coming to the emperor, so I brought him He comes."
"Thank you Chen Aiqing."
"The emperor also wants to shoot arrows? Can the concubine watch from the sidelines?" Concubine Li walked to him with a smile, her voice was gentle, and she looked at her with a smile.
"Sure." Ji Yang responded, and looked at Chen He again, "Does Aiqing want to have a competition?"
"A minister is not as good as the emperor, so he won't show his ugliness." Chen He declined.
"Father is the most powerful." Standing beside Ji Yang, Ji Chen muttered this sentence in a low voice, "No one is more powerful than Father, and my concubine also said that Father is the most powerful."
These words made Ji Yang's eyes smile, and he reached out and touched his head, "Didn't you choose a horse yesterday?"
"My son wants a bloody BMW."
"Then, which of the five horses in front do you think can be called a bloody horse?" Ji Yang pointed in a direction and asked.
Ji Chen's small eyes stared at the horses, and the eyeballs kept rolling.
This scene really surprised Chen He and Concubine Li. On weekdays, Ji Yang wouldn't talk to Ji Chen so patiently.
Accompanying play is also the first time.
"Does Chen Aiqing know?" Ji Yang suddenly turned his head and looked at Chen He.
"My eyes are clumsy, and I feel that five horses can't tell the difference." Chen He quickly returned to his senses, glanced a few times, and lowered his head to answer him.
"These five horses are all hard-earned horses that were paid tribute in Spanish. Among them, the second horse on the right is more capable." Ji Yang answered.
Chen He nodded, "When the emperor said so, the humble minister also looked at it, with a bright expression and a strong figure, which is rare to see."
"The concubine also looked at it, the last time he hunted, didn't the emperor win the first place with this horse?" Concubine Li also said.
Ji Yang nodded, "Indeed."
"I think that's the horse." Ji Chen pointed to the side with a small finger, and the horse was bowing its head.
Hearing this, Chen He and Concubine Li looked at each other.
Ji Yang is afraid that he will have another idea. The eldest prince will provoke holy wrath, and the empress may suffer.
"Oh?" Ji Yang raised his eyebrows, "Why?"
"He is. He is very energetic. He is different from other horses. I think he can run very fast. He is a bloody horse." Ji Chen didn't think so much, and Ji Yang followed him these few days, causing He put Jiang Yunqing's advice to him behind him.
"If not?" Ji Yang asked again.
Chen He and Li Fei feel that he is giving Ji Chen a chance to correct himself, after all he does not allow others to question him.
"It must be." Ji Chen insisted.
The two waited for Ji Yang to lower his face, but he laughed instead, "Among the five horses, only the hard-blooded BMW that Chen'er said was a tribute in Western language, and the others are ordinary war horses. From now on, I will give it to you. with you."
"Thank you, Father." Ji Chen smiled indescribably happily, "I will take good care of it, can I ride it today?"
"Can."
…
Chen He's complexion changed drastically, and Li Fei's face also froze. She was at a loss for a while, not sure what Ji Yang's intention was, but Ji Yang didn't say anything. The two of them watched in the arrow pavilion for half an afternoon. Archery on horseback.
The two father and son get along very harmoniously, talking and laughing.
In the end, even Chen He felt a sense of crisis and his emotions surged. In the end, Ji Yang went to Concubine Li's palace and stayed overnight. Concubine Li was so happy that she couldn't find her way out, so she put aside the matter of the afternoon. in the back of the head.
Everyone also felt that Concubine Li was indeed the most favored one, even if the empress had the eldest prince by her side, that would be no match.
If Concubine Li gave birth to a prince, he would be a proper prince.
evening.
Without Ji Yang, Jiaheng Palace returned to its previous warmth.
Ji Chen sat next to Jiang Yunqing holding the scripture book, yelling at her to tell a story, and only then showed her childish nature, "My son fell asleep before finishing listening yesterday, and the queen mother is going to finish telling it today."
"You don't want to go to bed early today? Aren't you tired?" Jiang Yun stroked his head lightly, his face tender.
"I'm not tired, my father asked my son to rest, so I'm not tired. When my father finishes his work, my son will go to find my father." Ji Chen shook his head.
"Father is busy with government affairs, Chen'er must remember what the queen mother said to you, and you must not pester father." Jiang Yunqing's words were quite serious, and urged.
"But the father and the son said, don't be restrained, the father did not criticize the son." Ji Chen looked up at her.
"There must be rules." Jiang Yun looked at him lightly.
"...I will always remember my mother's teachings." Ji Chen pondered for a while, then nodded vigorously.
"Then let's see what the next story is." Jiang Yun calmed down, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he opened the storybook.
At this time, the door was opened.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor stayed in Suya Palace and never came out." Ju Hong lowered her head and whispered.
Jiang Yun's hand turned the book lightly, his fingertips turned white, and he paused for a while before slowly turning the pages, "Go on."
"yes."
