The three kings opened the mansion, the people listened to the excitement, and the mood of the three princes was different.
The Yanxi Palace of Concubine Wu.
The maids and eunuchs who were serving all retreated outside. Concubine Wu looked at the door and smiled at the second prince, Prince Rui: "Have you brought the map? Mother, let's see what your mansion looks like."
Prince Rui came prepared, he took out the map of Prince Rui's mansion from his sleeve, and placed it on the low rosewood table in the middle of the Arhat bed. He bent down and stood beside his mother, moving his fingers along the map, explaining in a low voice each time. Chu Zhaiyuan: "... my son plans to divert water to build a lotus pond here, and build a pavilion in the pond to escape the heat in summer... "
Concubine Wu Gui nodded with a slight smile, her son sealed the king and opened a mansion, and the next step is to go to the court to listen to the government, seal the government and run errands. After listening to her son's thoughts on the renovation of her palace, Concubine Wu asked casually, "Where are your elder brother and third younger brother's residence?"
Prince Rui looked at his mother, then looked at the map of the palace, pointed at the main courtyard of the palace, and said in a low voice, "Mother, let's compare this circle to the imperial city, the outer circle is the inner city, the son's mansion is on the southwest side, the eldest brother The southeast side of the building is almost far from the palace. The third brother's..." Prince Rui tapped the table with his finger down and said, "The third brother's palace is in the outer city, next to Duke Wei's palace."
The most central part of the capital is the imperial city, where the emperor lives. The outer circle of the imperial city is the inner city, where the palace of the princess is located, and the outer city is the outer city. The dignitaries are distributed around the inner city. the poorer. In fact, the location of the Guo family in Duke Wei’s mansion is the best part of the outer city. After careful comparison, the residence of Prince Shou is a circle larger than the residence of Prince Chu and Prince Rui, and it is much more spacious. The city is gone, which shows that Emperor Xuande is not happy with his third son.
Concubine Wu Gui gloated: "I think when Concubine Xian was alive, your father and Queen's house counted her as the most favored, but now it's not people who go to tea."
If you want to blame it, the third prince's life is not good. The royal family gave birth to a stammer. This is the meaning of making a mistake and punishing the family. Emperor Xuande valued reputation most, and suddenly gave birth to a stammered son, a stain that cannot be erased. Don't Saying that Concubine Xian is dead, even if Concubine Xian is alive, Emperor Xuande will never give the third prince a little more favor.
Prince Rui sighed, "This bowl of tea is cold, and the other bowl is still hot."
He never put his third brother in his eyes. It was the eldest brother above who made him uneasy day and night. No matter how indifferent the father was to the third brother, he loved the eldest brother as much. Judging by the father's behavior, he had already trained the eldest brother as a prince.
Concubine Wu glanced at her son and smiled softly: "You dislike it hot, someone dislikes you more than you, just wait, sooner or later, there will be a lively watching." After speaking, she did not mean to look at the place where Queen Li's middle palace is located. The direction raised his chin. At the age of eighteen, he was enfeoffed as a prince when he was born, and his ambitions must be blazing.
Prince Rui nodded, convinced: "My son understands."
The concubine, mother and son put their hearts to heart. The eldest prince, King Chu, read his map of the palace, and only after realizing it did he think of his younger brother, and asked Eunuch Kang, who was beside him, "Where is the palace of King Shou?"
Eunuch Kang shrank his neck, bowed his head and said, "The emperor gave the former prime minister Qi's residence to Lord Shou."
The King of Chu tilted his head and thought for a while, but was not impressed: "Where is the Qi Mansion?"
Eunuch Kang couldn't hide it any longer, and said with a bated breath, "Next to Eunuch Wei's mansion."
When the King of Chu heard this, he slapped the table and walked out with a sullen face. Eunuch Kang's heart almost jumped out, he ran a few steps to stop in front of the King of Chu, and said with a bitter face: "My lord, what are you doing?"
The King of Chu's face was ashen, and his voice was thunderous: "I'm going to find my father, the inner city is so big, why should I arrange for the third brother to live in the outer city?"
His temperament is upright and open-minded. As long as he feels right, he never cares whether he is heard or not, but Eunuch Kang was so frightened that he raised his hand high in front of the King of Chu, and made a gesture of covering his mouth: " Lord, shut up quickly, the emperor must have his intentions for this arrangement, Lord Shou has no objection, you…”
"Go away!" The King of Chu was furious, and threw the thin and thin Eunuch Kang out several steps. How could the third brother have no objection? He was accustomed to being neglected by his father, and he had nothing to say, so he kept giving what he gave. It was precisely because the third brother did not fight that his eldest brother wanted to fight for him. Having made up his mind, the King of Chu rushed to the Chongzheng Hall in a rage despite Eunuch Kang's desperate attempts to dissuade him.
Emperor Xuande was reviewing the memorial, and when he heard that the eldest son was coming, he didn't lift his head, and called someone to come in.
"Imperial Father, there is something I don't know about my son." The King of Chu walked in front of the imperial court, and his tone was very aggressive.
Emperor Xuande guessed seven points as soon as he heard it, raised his eyes to see his son's indignant face, and confirmed the other three points. He lowered his head again, and said lightly while reviewing the memorial: "Speak."
The King of Chu said directly: "Father, my second brother's mansion is in the inner city, why did the third brother's go outside?"
Emperor Xuande said calmly: "You want to go to court, it's convenient to live close by, the third child has no errands, the place is big, and he lives comfortably."
It was just a pretense, and the King of Chu felt sad: "Can't you arrange errands for the third brother? The third brother is smart..."
Emperor Xuande finally raised his head, and his eyes became cold: "What can he do? He doesn't want to say a word, what can he do for me? Jiangshan and Sheji, how can you let your children play?"
The King of Chu wanted to fight for his brother again, but Emperor Xuande ran out of patience and scolded with his eyes wide open: "Go out, and next time, I will punish you."
The king of Chu did not move, but Wang En, the eunuch of Emperor Xuande, came over in time and pulled the man away. The hall returned to silence, Emperor Xuande looked at the door, frowning quickly, and did not take the disrespect of the eldest son to heart. The boss is very emotional, knowing that he cares about his younger brother is what he appreciates the most.
The King of Chu was very dissatisfied with his father's partiality, but he had no choice but to stand outside the Chongzheng Palace for a long while, and then went to Jingping Palace to see his younger brother. He pushed open the study door.
Zhao Heng heard the movement early, but he stood in front of the desk and didn't move, just nodded to his brother: "Big brother."
The King of Chu snorted and walked to the front, where he saw a piece of rice paper that took up half of the table in front of the third brother, and a house was drawn in the middle. Knowing that the third brother had already started to set up the mansion in the outer city, the King of Chu felt very uncomfortable. Impulsively, he grabbed Zhao Henggang's drawing and smashed it into pieces.
Zhao Heng:…
"I'm so mad at me!" King Chu sat down on the chair diagonally opposite, and slapped the table with his big hand, "Third brother, wait, I can't persuade the father, wait for the uncle..."
"Big Brother!" Zhao Heng's expression suddenly changed, and he snapped at his brother's impulsive words.
The King of Chu's mouth was still open, and when he met his younger brother's warning eyes, he pursed his lips and patted the table again.
Zhao Heng put away his sternness, and wanted to tell his brother with all his words, but he couldn't say it, so he could only say slowly: "Everything, listen to the father, don't talk nonsense."
It's not about the mansion, it's about the throne. His eldest brother, with superb martial arts, has only a straight and irascible temper. His father loves his eldest brother, and he can tolerate ordinary opposition. The only problem is the throne.
The King of Chu took a deep breath, rubbed his head, and decided he didn't want that anymore. His eyes fell on the ball of paper that he had thrown into the distance. The King of Chu resigned and sighed. He walked over to pick up the ball of paper, unfolded it again, held the drawing paper in both hands and stared at it for a while, then pointed to the circle on the west side of the mansion. "Third brother, what is written here?"
It turned out that there were two words, which were broken by him, and could not be read clearly.
Zhao Heng looked at the location and said, "Cherry."
The King of Chu gave him a strange look, his eyes swept over the other small characters one by one, and saw the names of "grape", "plum tree", "pomegranate", "persimmon tree" and other fruit trees one after another. After looking around, the heart of the King of Chu is even more sour. Father father, father father, looking at the good deeds you have done, the third brother is so chilled that he gives up on himself.
After the sadness was over, he became angry. The King of Chu ripped the picture three or two times, and taught his younger brother like a brother: "Dang Wang, what do you want to eat and ask people to buy it, it's a joke in the mansion. Your palace is big, I think In this way, the land just now was converted into a racetrack, and our brothers had to run a few laps."
Zhao Heng was silent.
The King of Chu was interested, and spread another rice paper to help his younger brother figure out how to build a mansion. Zhao Heng never said a word. He just waited for his elder brother to leave, and he drew another one according to his own mind. The King of Chu drew a picture full of energy, and after painting, most of the depression in his chest dissipated. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, he simply stayed with his younger brother to eat.
During the meal, the brothers were drinking wine, Zhao Heng drank lightly, the King of Chu drank heavily, and ate a few bowls of wine, the King of Chu thought of a good way to make his younger brother happy: "On the third day of the third month, the elder brother will take you out of the palace, let me tell you, There were all girls in the suburbs that day, and each one was more beautiful than the other, eldest brother will take you to meet the world, don’t be bored in the palace all day.”
Zhao Heng didn't take it seriously. Big brother is very forgetful. What I said today may be forgotten after a sleep at night.
But this time, King Chu didn't forget. On the evening of the second day of March, he came over to ask his younger brother for a drink. Before leaving, he reminded his younger brother, "Let's start tomorrow morning, don't sleep late."
Zhao Heng was slightly startled, then nodded, the spring is good, since the elder brother has the heart, he will walk with him.
Government of Wei.
The weather was getting warmer. After dinner in the evening, Song Jianing and his three sisters went for a walk in the garden to digest their food. They circled around the lake shore for a small half, and bumped into Guo Xiao and his twins. Brothers and sisters gathered, Guo Fu smiled and said, "Jittering, have you discussed where to go for a walk tomorrow?"
The third girl, Yunfang, pouted, "You don't have to worry about where you go." The two older brothers like to make fun of people, and she is the least willing to swim with them.
Guo Fu sneered: "Who wants to take care of you? We want to protect An An. I heard that at this time, the most flowers are taken, and we only choose silly girls to start..."
Yun Fang laughed, pointed at Song Jianing and said, "Second brother said you were stupid!"
Song Jianing glared at Guo Fu: "Second brother is stupid."
"Yo, are you embarrassed?" Guo Fu rushed over to grab her, Song Jianing hurriedly ran away, but unfortunately he was not as fast as Guo Fu, and was caught and scratched by Guo Fu. Song Jianing blushed and panted with laughter. She hid and called for help. Tingfang Lanfang was going to save her sister, but was stopped by Guo Shu and could not help.
Song Jianing was really uncomfortable, the good sisters couldn't help her, Yun Fang just laughed and watched the fun, Song Jianing turned her eyes and fell on Guo Xiao. The twins are most afraid of him, but...
Song Jianing didn't want to beg Guo Xiao, it was itchy and uncomfortable, she grabbed Guo Fu's arm in a fit of anger, lowered her head and bit.
"enough."
Just before Song Jianing's mouth was about to touch Guo Fu's wrist, Guo Xiao suddenly shouted. Guo Fu was afraid of his elder brother's majesty, so he instinctively retracted his hand, and he retracted it too quickly. When the back of his hand was raised, he bumped into Song Jianing's nose, making Song Jianing's tears come out all of a sudden. He covered his nose, unable to speak.
Before Guo Fu could react, someone quickly rushed to his side and grabbed Song Jianing's hand covering his nose.
It was revealed that Song Jianing had teary eyes, a red nose, and open red lips, breathing in and out.
Guo Xiao looked at it and recalled that his stepsister would rather be bullied by his cousin than to ask him for help, he let go of her hand and sneered, "Yes."
Song Jianing was stunned for a moment, but the next moment, the tears flowed even more fiercely.
How can there be such a disgusting person! Did she dig his ancestral grave in her last life, so she was bullied by him in her last life, and she met him again in this life
She was grieved and indignant, and Guo Fu saw her brother looking at him behind her, his eyes were colder than that of Luyue Hanbing, so he turned around and ran away in fright.
Then he went out for an outing the next day, and the twins failed to show up. The person who accompanied Song Jianing's four sisters was replaced by Guo Xiao.
