The atmosphere in the hall was weird, except for King Qing's smiling face, probably no one could laugh.
There is another person, it is An Wang, but he is not smiling.
"The fifth one didn't see it, but your son taught him very well."
"Second brother Miao Zan, this child has not been long since he was found, and his mother has been teaching him."
From the beginning to the end, King Jin never thought of hiding the fact that his son had just confessed. This is the case in the royal family, the more you hide it, the more people want to dig it out, the more people will fish in troubled waters and stir up wind and rain, it is better to simply spread it to the public.
"In this case, it's your concubine who is so unusual that he can teach his son to be smart."
"Second brother praises me again, she..." Jin Wang paused, for some reason, there was a scene where Xiao Bao said to Emperor Hongjing in a milky voice, "Bao'er, mother's Bao'er", and remembered every time she hugged her. Holding Xiaobao, Bao'er who called mother affectionately, Xiaobao must have learned from her. Immediately, the brows softened, "She was born in a small family, but she can't be praised by the second brother."
These two praises in a row, seemingly modest, are all ridiculing King An for having nothing to say. King An's complexion became a little ugly, but such words made him unable to find any disrespect from King Jin towards him, so he could only sneer and keep silent.
The eyes of the other people around were dark and inexplicable, but the prince didn't seem to sense these maneuvers at all, he swaggered and sat down on the chair next to him, and called for the eunuch to serve tea.
Several young eunuchs came in to serve tea and fruit, the leader was Li Dequan's godson, Xiaomengzi, who bowed his waist and accompanied him with a smile: "Your Highness, sit down for a while and drink some tea. The Holy Majesty will probably be delayed for a while."
Of course, Wang An and the others knew that it would take a while, and it was all because of the young man of Jin Wang's family. But Emperor Hongjing didn't say to leave, and they couldn't leave either. They could only sit next to each other one by one, but their faces were not very good-looking, and they couldn't help but wonder what Emperor Hongjing was doing with King Jin's son.
Only King Jin understood, but he just lowered his eyes and sipped his tea without saying anything.
The prince didn't eat breakfast, he was very hungry. After sitting down, he ate a few pieces of pastries and drank a cup of tea, and his energy returned. He opened his small eyes squeezed by the fat, looked around at his younger brothers, and said with a smile: "Father is getting old, and he has become interested in teasing his grandchildren. I think it was Zuo'er who could have this kind of love back then." Blessing."
Zuo'er is the grandson of the emperor, whose name is Zhao Zuo. He is both the eldest son and the eldest grandson, and also the first member of the Zhao family.
Zhao Zuo was able to read at the age of three, and practiced martial arts at the age of five. He was taught by Emperor Hongjing when he was enlightened. When the prince said this, he was suspected of showing off, but also meant to provoke.
But the crown prince has never been a wise man, and his younger brothers are used to it. If it weren't for the relationship between the eldest grandson of the emperor and the empress Wei and Emperor Hongjing for many years, he might not be able to sit firmly as the crown prince.
For a while, the whole hall was filled with the prince's boastful talk, and everyone else was drinking tea in silence.
On the other side of the Kunning Palace, after some gossip, the children who had just been taken to the side hall were also brought over.
They are all young, the oldest is the third son of Prince An's Mansion, who is seven years old this year, and the others are all four, five, two or three years old.
But it can be seen that the rules are very good. When you come in, you first salute and call people. Yaoniang watched from the side with a straight smile on her face, because there was a little girl who was only two years old saluting someone, and she almost didn't fall over. This little girl belongs to Prince Qing's family, and is also the first daughter of Prince Qing and Princess Qing. Her nickname is Zhuzhu.
She couldn't help but wonder if her son was taken away by King Jin, whether he also saluted the adults like this, and whether he also fell down because he was dressed too much. As long as she thinks of that scene, she can't help but laugh.
"What is Mrs. Su laughing at?" A slightly hoarse female voice sounded beside her ear, Yaoniang couldn't help shaking her ears, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Princess Yong looking at her.
The eye contours are gorgeous and perfectly lined, the eyes are long and the corners of the eyes are slightly upturned, as if they were outlined in thick ink. The pupils are extremely black, crystal clear, and seem to reflect light at first glance, with a strange light.
Yao Niang was stunned for a moment, and said: "I don't have any, I just see that the little princesses and princes are very cute."
Concubine Yong let out an oh, obviously the tone was simple, but Yaoniang always had the urge to blush. Fortunately, Princess Yong turned her head away before she blushed.
After sitting for a while, Empress Wei waved them away, but she couldn't leave, and left a banquet at noon.
It was March in Yangchun, when all the flowers were in full bloom, Princess An proposed to take everyone to the imperial garden.
The exotic flowers and plants in the imperial garden, the pavilions and pavilions are so beautiful that everyone specially chose a water pavilion to sit and talk. The children let the court ladies and eunuchs watch and play in the open space outside the water pavilion.
This water pavilion occupies a huge area, facing the lake on one side and the garden on the other. There are several rooms inside, which are specially used for resting. Yaoniang purposely chose a room to go in and rest, although after entering the palace, she always sat more and stood less, after all, she was a little older, and she was very tired with a big belly.
She was half leaning on a soft couch, and Yuchan rubbed her legs and waist with neither light nor heavy force, and she fell asleep before she knew it.
Seeing that Yaoniang was asleep, Yuchan withdrew her hand and sat down on the chair beside her.
Concubine Jin had nothing to say to Concubine An and the others, so she went out of the waterside pavilion and strolled in the garden on the pretext of going to clean the house.
Not far away could be heard the laughter and play of children, and the sun was shining warmly above her head. She suddenly had a feeling that her eyes were swollen and sore by the sun's rays, and she wanted to cry but there were no tears.
"Are you okay?" It was Princess Yong.
Princess Jin was a little caught off guard, and subconsciously wanted to cover her face, but she grabbed her.
"What's the matter with you? But he treats you badly?"
Her eyes were concerned and focused, as they were all those years ago. At that time, she was lonely and indifferent, she had no playmates, no one to talk to. At a flower banquet, she was ridiculed by a certain girl for having an aunt who was comparable to the mistress. At that time, Aunt Yulan gave birth to a son. Her mother was heartbroken over this matter. He quarreled with the other party and moved his hands.
It's a pity that she is weak and has only one person, but the other party is two sisters. She was pushed to the ground, full of grief and anger, and she appeared at this moment.
She is so decisive and brave, with a kind of righteousness and heroism that can only be found in the novels of chivalrous women.
Dressed in a red shirt, she was as beautiful as a flame.
She rushed up and slapped the two sisters each, and threatened them not to tell others about it, otherwise they would hit them every time they saw them. The two sisters were so frightened that they were defeated, and it was only then that she knew who she was, He Wanyi, the prostitute daughter of the Anqinghou's family, a girl with a reputation for being naughty.
She was thirteen that year, and she was also thirteen.
Since then, she has had one more handkerchief.
Concubine Jin withdrew her scattered thoughts, and slowly came back to her senses. She lowered her eyes and smiled, and said, "Why, I was dazzled by the sun."
Concubine Yong breathed a sigh of relief, and said with some hesitation: "Then how have you been all these years?"
It seems that after this sentence is asked, the next words are easy to export. Princess Yong said with a kind of melancholy, "I have always wanted to see you these years, but unfortunately I have no chance. Every time I enter Beijing, I think this time I will definitely see you." I can meet you, but I never see you."
"I'm not in good health, and I can't travel long distances, so I rarely go out. If it wasn't for my father's longevity, I might not have entered Beijing."
"That's right, I forgot that you are not in good health."
Princess Jin smiled lightly: "Yes, after all, we haven't seen each other for many years, so it's normal to forget." She glanced at Princess Yong, and immediately lowered her eyes: "I don't know if Sihuang's wife is okay? If it's okay, I want to go back Already." Her eyes were on the hand that the other party had been holding her.
As if being scalded, Concubine Yong let go of her hand, and Mingyan's face was a little embarrassed.
"I have nothing to do, I just see you standing here alone..."
"Then I'll go first." She lowered her head and wanted to leave.
But before she could step out, she was held back by Princess Yong again. During the tugging, she met the other's eyes, those eyes were full of pain, struggle, and guilt, and she forgot to move her eyes for a while.
"Yanru, I've always been worried about you. If we could hold back that time... Actually, I didn't expect that things would be so coincidental that they would run into each other... Do you know that I have had a hard time these years , you know the situation of my family... I have no choice but to curry favor with him, to be a qualified princess... I thought you understood me, I thought you could too, but I never expected... Do you know , these years, I heard that you have not been able to conceive, and I am very worried for you. With our status, we are destined to live for certain things, we must submit, we must... "
"Stop talking!" Princess Jin suddenly shouted, stopping Princess Yong's incoherent speech.
She took a deep breath and seemed to be looking at the other person's eyes, but her eyes were not in focus.
"I'm fine, I'm fine like this. You know my body, I'm not for you, nor for anything, but I can't help it." She smiled, "So you don't have to explain, don't feel guilty, and more Don't blame yourself."
"I have to go."
With that said, she turned and left, her steps a little hasty.
"Then are we still friends?" A voice came from behind.
She paused for a long time before nodding.
"That's good." She heard her relieved voice, so her steps became more urgent.
At noon, a banquet was held in Kunning Palace.
After the banquet, as soon as he left Kunning Palace, he saw King Jin walking here with Xiaobao in his arms.
Without further ado, a group of people went out of the palace gate and returned to Prince Jin's Mansion.
King Jin seemed to be drinking, and instead of riding a horse, he and Yaoniang rode in the same car. On the way, he told Yaoniang that the imperial edict to choose a date came down.
These words have no beginning and no end, Yaoniang was a little stunned for a while, and then realized that it was the imperial decree to canonize her as a side concubine.
If he was unhappy, it must be a lie. He only mentioned this matter to her once, and he didn't expect that Mu Mu would do it so quickly.
"Thank you Your Highness."
King Jin snorted, looking a little unhappy.
Yaoniang was a little surprised by his reaction, and she couldn't help but wonder if King Jin was reprimanded in front of the Holy One because of the concubine concubine.
But looking carefully at King Jin's appearance, he found that his eyes fell on Xiaobao.
Xiaobao is small and doesn't have much strength. Usually when riding in a carriage, adults will hold him in his arms, or find a soft place for him to sit on. At this time, he was sitting on a big pillow that Yaoniang specially made for him before he came out of Jinzhou.
The pillow was very soft, wide and big, and he nestled in it, like a small bed specially made for him. He was lazily leaning on it, playing with the curtains of the car with his hands, but he listened to King Jin and Yaoniang talking with his ears up.
King Jin looked over, he paused for a moment, and then continued to play as if nothing had happened.
Until Yaoniang asked: "Your Highness, why do you look at Xiaobao so much?"
King Jin sneered, Yaoniang didn't know why.
"Go and ask him!"
