King Jin brought Xiaobao back, and Yaoniang could see that her son was not happy.
"What's the matter? But he is naughty?"
"He may be sleepy." King Jin found an explanation he thought was possible.
But Yaoniang didn't seem to be sleepy, but she also knew that King Jin would not abuse Xiaobao behind his back, and only thought that Xiaobao was bored.
"I tell you not to go with your father, you must go. Your father is a person who does big things, and those things must be very boring, so bore yourself." She stroked her son's little head and smiled.
Therefore, Jin Wang, who was doing great things, and Xiao Bao, who was bored by himself, reluctantly accepted Yaoniang's statement.
Xiaobao still wants to work harder: "Zeng, great-grandfather..."
Yaoniang gave him a surprised look.
King Jin added: "How many times has he mentioned great-grandfather today, did you teach him?"
It was indeed taught by Yaoniang, but she only taught it once, wondering if Xiaobao would learn it, but who would have thought that when he went to the Ningguo Mansion that day, Xiaobao performed super well, which made Ningguogong and Mrs. Ningguo very happy. , the smile on Zengtian's face did not fall.
"Great, maternal grandfather..."
"Are you missing your great-grandfather? Or do you want to go to Ningguo Duke's Mansion?" So it is still the mother who understands her son.
Little Treasure actually had the illusion of being grateful, nodded quickly, said yes, and said: "Go, go!"
"You want to find your great-grandfather?"
"Go, great-grandfather..."
Yaoniang was a little surprised, she couldn't help but exchanged glances with King Jin, and said to Xiaobao: "I can't go now, it's getting dark soon."
"Go tomorrow!"
This kid is really a genius!
Yaoniang said to King Jin worriedly, "What should I do?"
She has no habit of lying to children, and her son is so smart, Yaoniang doesn't want to lie to him. But it's not up to her to go to Duke Ning's mansion.
King Jin pondered for a while: "There is still more than half a month before the father's longevity, and I will be fine for a while. It is not impossible to go, but you are inconvenient now..."
"Go, go to great-grandfather..." Xiaobao continued.
"Tomorrow the king asked Fu Cheng to take him there."
Yao Niang nodded, looking as if she was going to whisper something, King Jin bent down as usual.
Yao Niang whispered: "Maybe he will forget it tomorrow."
really
King Jin looked at Little Treasure whose eyes were shining brightly, and then looked at the little white face so close at hand, feeling very suspicious.
Obviously Xiaobao's memory is very good, and he still didn't forget it the next day. After waking up, he called to go to his great-grandfather's house. So Fucheng changed his errand today, instead of following King Jin, he accompanied Xiaobao to Ningguo Mansion.
This is the first time that Xiaobao has left her to go out alone. Yaoniang was very worried. She prepared two sets of clothes and brought several kinds of small cakes that Xiaobao likes to eat. .
Fucheng kept nodding beside him, and Xiaobao's ears turned red. In order to cover up, he climbed far to get his own little wooden horse, pretending to take the little wooden horse with him.
Finally packed up and ready to go out, it happened that King Jin was going into the palace today, so he took Xiaobao into the car. Since entering Beijing, the King of Jin has changed to riding a car instead of riding a horse.
Walking halfway, Fucheng took Xiaobao to change cars and turned to the Ningguo Mansion.
Without Xiaobao, Yaoniang felt very bored, and took advantage of the good weather to let Hongsi and the others clean the house thoroughly, and take all the things that should be taken out to dry in the sun.
After a busy day, it's noon, so after lunch, Yaoniang goes to take a nap. It was still early after I woke up, and I fell into boredom again. Yaoniang never felt this way before, teasing her son, chatting with a few girls, time always flies very fast, but today it feels like years.
Finally, the sun went down, but Xiaobao still didn't come back, Yaoniang was a little anxious, and asked someone to ask if King Jin was back, but he didn't know that King Jin hadn't come back either. It was only afterwards that I found out that King Jin was being held back by someone, and I didn't know what happened during the period. The princes went to a restaurant to drink together.
Xiaobao didn't come back until it was dark, and he found out after asking Fucheng that Xiaobao had a very good time in the Ningguo Mansion today. To be correct, it should be said that in the Hujutang where Duke Ning lived, Xiaobao seemed to like that place very much, and had fun in the yard, but Duke Ning was so happy that he used an extra bowl for dinner.
I don't know how the old and the young discussed it. In short, Xiaobao will go tomorrow.
After listening to it, Yaoniang felt quite uncomfortable, was she abandoned by her son? There is an illusion that the chicks are about to leave the nest and be separated from the mother bird.
Xiaobao seemed to be able to see the inappropriateness in Yaoniang's heart, being coquettish and naive, and finally made Yaoniang stop thinking about it for the time being.
In fact, this was Xiaobao's last resort after consideration. With so many people watching his mother, nothing happened for the time being. But Ningguo's mansion is different, it's dark under the lights there.
Somewhere, Xiao Bao always had the feeling that Shen Tai wanted something bad.
Taixu Tower was full of guests as usual.
But today, the second floor is occupied by people on the whole first floor.
No matter whether it was booked in advance or someone came to ask, there is no vacant private room.
In the largest private room on the second floor, a few men were sitting, seemingly exchanging cups and smiling all over their faces, but in fact, they had fought secretly for countless times.
It was also a coincidence today that King Jin entered the palace and met Wang An and the others in Qianqing Palace.
Only then did I know that Emperor Hongjing didn't just announce him, but that all the princes who came to Beijing this time came. Just like how he taught his sons in the early years, Emperor Hongjing asked about the affairs of their respective fiefs, some praised and some criticized. The one who reprimanded him was naturally King Lu, the notorious sixth son.
King Lu stood below with a big stinky face, not daring to be angry or speak out.
After Emperor Hongjing finished his training, he talked about thinking about the past again. It seems that people like this when they get old, and they always like to talk about the past. In this past story, there are my own memories and the common memories of my sons, as well as the events of my own childhood. It seems that no one has missed it, but it can't make any waves, because it is too dull.
The lack of childhood, seeing the eunuchs and maids around him will always be more than seeing his own father. When they understand things and start studying, these princes are inevitably divided into many factions because of their different backgrounds. Born in the royal family, the first and foremost thing is never to respect brothers and sisters, but that you can't let people get past you.
There are older princes, such as the crown prince, King An, and King Dai, who are much older than the younger brothers, and they have already fought to the death. But before the result was reached, the younger brothers who were more promising than him came out one by one.
Of course, it's not that there are no brothers and friends, but that's just on the surface, just like everyone knows that they are acting now, but Emperor Hongjing suddenly doesn't know it when he stands on top.
Maybe it's not that I don't know, it's just that I don't want to know.
The Tian family has no father and son, and it is clear that looking at the history books and the dynasties and dynasties, they are all telling the same story. But there are always people who don't want to believe it, and always feel that they may be the exception.
Since he wanted to act, he naturally had to perform a full set. Before leaving, Wang An proposed to invite some younger brothers to drink. Even if there are those who don't want to go, they have to go, and that's why there is a gathering in Taixulou.
Relying on the fact that he is the oldest here, King An tried to persuade him to drink one after another, and seemed to be close to his younger brothers, but in fact he said a lot of things that seemed ordinary, but were actually provocative words.
They were obviously drinking, but the smiles on their faces became colder and colder. Some of them couldn't help being angry, and they were already full of anger.
King Lu threw down the wine cup and stood up: "Second brother Heze called us to drink today to provoke trouble? It's boring, don't drink!" After finishing speaking, he walked away.
King An didn't want to pull him back, and he didn't expect King Lu to say so clearly, and he looked very embarrassed, explaining: "This old sixth is getting more and more tempered now, and he doesn't even have any respect for seniority. Is it my fault that I asked you to drink?"
Yong Wang smiled and said: "Of course it's not the second brother's fault. The older the sixth child, the more twisted his temper, not to mention us brothers, probably can't even hear a few words from the father."
Dai Wang stood up, "Since the sixth child has left, this table will be over, it's getting late, my brother has to go back home first."
King Jin also stood up, and said concisely: "Thank you, second brother, for this wine, I won't keep any more."
King Jin is about to leave, and King Qing will naturally not stay any longer: "Then my brother, I will also take my leave."
This person walked away suddenly, no matter how good-tempered King An was, he couldn't help being a little annoyed. He looked at King Yong with vicious eyes: "Fourth brother, don't tell me you're leaving too."
Yong Wang smiled politely, and patted An Wang reassuringly, "It's alright, second brother, you have done what you want, and the brothers all know it. How can we drink this wine? Leave it to the day after tomorrow, and I will make it someday." Dong invited you to my residence."
If you want to invite, the key person dares to go, and whoever is not afraid of harming others behind their backs. If this match had not happened in front of Emperor Hongjing, and it had come again, I am afraid that Wang An, the second brother, would not be able to save face.
Yong Wang Shi Shi ran away, leaving only An Wang and the young Wu Wang. King Wu was the youngest in the audience, his mother was just a maid, and she was a concubine only after giving birth to King Wu. So since he was a child, he has no opinion and never offends people easily.
I have no idea, I have no idea, and I know that it is not easy to stay in this kind of occasion, so I hurriedly stood up and made a bow, apologized again, and left in a hurry.
Only Wang An was left alone, sneering at first, and then meaningfully.
One of his subordinates walked in from the outside, "Your Highness, such a good opportunity..."
Wang An glared at him, "Are you harming me, or are you giving me advice? Go away from me in the front, and if something happens in the back, the king will be swallowed alive if you don't die." It doesn't matter if he did it or not. , others will give him a big hat for killing brothers.
"Then now..."
"Have people follow them and send them back to the mansion."
So don't look at the drink, in fact, Wang An is thankless. If nothing happened, it was his fault. However, he also expected that no one would be so stupid as to act in such a situation. His so-called escort was just to make a show and put himself aside.
And his purpose of this trip was just to find out each other's true and false, and show off his elder brother's demeanor in front of Emperor Hongjing. It's a pity that none of his younger brothers are vegetarians, and he didn't let him find out anything at all. Even the bad-tempered King Lu didn't show himself.
Since that day, Xiaobao has been going to Ningguo Duke's mansion every day.
The key point is that Ning Guogong likes this kid, one makes a fuss, the other stays and refuses to leave. In the end, Xiaobao actually lives in Hujutang.
For this reason, Yaoniang was also sad for a while, feeling that she couldn't help her, Xiaobao didn't like her anymore.
Fortunately, a few maidservants were sensible and savvy, coaxing around, Hongfei even taught Yaoniang to play the leaf card. Yao Niang, who was addicted to leaf cards, immediately forgot about her son. In addition to three meals a day plus two snacks a day, as well as the necessary physical activity, she actually played cards with a few little girls every day with golden melon seeds.
She loses more than she wins, and she has a lot of fun.
Seeing this, King Jin finally heaved a sigh of relief, and turned his head to reward Xiao Shunzi with a jade wrench.
This idea was given by Xiao Shunzi to the King of Jin. Fu Cheng has been following Xiaobao recently. Xiao Shunzi, who has always been a helper, has finally made it through, and he can also be called by the King of Jin. Master Shun, put your hands in your sleeves and direct the subordinates to do things.
Xiao Shunzi, who deeply understands the essence of Fucheng's slavery, naturally takes everything of his master as the standard of conduct. Not only do you have to know how to wink, but you also need to be able to do things. Look at it, it's just a small leaf card. It made Mrs. Su happy, so His Highness is naturally happy.
The masters are happy, and the servants' errands will be handled easily.
At this time, the imperial decree came down, and Su Yaoniang was canonized as the side concubine of King Jin, from the first rank, with a food salary of eight hundred. At the same time, the imperial decree to name the eldest son of King Jin came at the same time, and Xiao Bao was named 'Chen'.
Chen, Bao Ye.
It was probably Xiaobao's words of "Bao'er, mother's Bao'er" that day, so that Emperor Hongjing bestowed this name.
Since then, Xiaobao has finally become famous, Zhao Chen.
