Shen Wen left the Marquis Mansion, and before he had gone far, Zhang Yunzheng popped up when he heard hissing from the side, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here so late? I've been waiting for a long time."
Shen Wen asked: "Have we agreed on a time? I can come later."
Zhang Yunzheng frowned: "Didn't your mother teach you to say sorry?"
Shen Wen retorted: "Didn't your mother teach you not to quarrel with girls?"
Zhang Yunzheng pouted: "You are not an ordinary girl. Do girls come out at this hour?"
Shen Wen immediately said: "Didn't your mother teach you not to quarrel with female ghosts?"
Zhang Yunzheng was shocked, but when he saw Shen Wencai's small man who had reached his chest, and the crooked eyes exposed by pulling down the scarf, he lost his sense of fear, and said, "I have never seen such a fat female ghost."
Shen Wen stuck out his tongue again, and Zhang Yunzheng frowned in disgust: "Don't spit it out! It's not scary at all! It's as if you want to eat wontons."
Shen Wen waved his hand: "I hate it! Bring up wontons, you can buy them again!"
Zhang Yunzheng said: "You think so beautifully! You just came out of the mansion and you want to eat?! How many meals do you want to eat a day?"
Shen Wen replied: "It's boring to be with you! Did you buy a yard?"
Zhang Yunzheng snorted and said: "Listen, buy, buy, buy! You little brat who loses money! You only think about the yard!" After speaking, he turned around and left. Shen Wen followed him through the streets and alleys to an old courtyard. Climb over the wall and enter, inside is desolate grass, half-dead trees, and broken lotus ponds. Further inside, there are two entrances to the house, and the windows are dark.
Zhang Yunzheng brought Shen Wen to the front of the house, Shen Wen stopped and said, "Your brother helped you buy it?"
Zhang Yunzheng said, "Of course."
Shen Wen sighed and said: "Master Zhang is the most respectable person! Not to mention both civil and military skills, he is also very chic and suave, and a thoughtful person..."
Zhang Yunming rushed out of the room, breathed hard, took the fan in his hand and fanned it vigorously for a long time. Shen Wen smiled, Zhang Yunming said to Shen Wen: "You really know how disgusting people are."
Shen Wen rolled his eyes: "Who told you to hide inside to scare people?"
Zhang Yunzheng felt that the two people were particularly unpleasant, and reprimanded: "What are you laughing at! Go into the house!"
The three of them entered the room, and when their eyes got used to the darkness, Zhang Yunming motioned for the simple table and chairs, let Shen Wen sit, and sat down in the dark himself. Zhang Yunzheng stepped on the chair and stood in the darkness.
Zhang Yunming said: "I bought this in the name of a relative from my mother's side. I am waiting to transfer the ownership in the yamen. I just came here for the past two days to clean up a little and let you come over and have a place to sit. Wait for the land deed Only when it’s done, can someone come to clean it. There are a few rich people’s big houses around here, and there are usually few people on the street... "
Shen Wen asked: "Then why is it so dilapidated?"
Zhang Yunming smiled and said, "It's because some people say that this place is haunted."
Shen Wen sighed. Zhang Yunming asked with a trembling voice: "Aren't you afraid of ghosts?"
Zhang Yunzheng snorted coldly—she is a ghost, you still scare her
Shen Wen giggled: "What's so scary about a ghost? It's just a ghost, with an unfinished wish, staying here. At most, move something to make a noise, and it won't harm anyone."
Zhang Yunming looked at Shen Wen in the dark: "How do you know? Could it be...you—are—a ghost—?" He was deceived by Shen Wen, and he always wanted to see Shen Wen make a fool of himself so that he could get back some ground.
Shen Wen also became serious, and whispered: "Don't tell me, I-re-is-"
Zhang Yunming's heart trembled inexplicably, a chill came down his back...
Zhang Yunzheng interrupted impatiently: "You guys never finish! Get down to business!"
Zhang Yunming coughed and asked, "I heard that the emperor's dethronement is related to the murder that happened in the Zhenbei Hou's Mansion?"
Shen Wen nodded and said: "Someone wanted to kill my fourth brother. We arrested them and sent them to the government. As a result, those people and their families were all killed. There are more than 160 people in total. If the matter becomes serious, it will definitely be reported to the emperor." There."
Zhang Yunming asked: "Should it be the prince?"
Shen Wen said: "I think so too. But in the end the queen was abolished."
Zhang Yunming waved his hand and said, "Of course it's the crown prince's crime."
Shen Wen wondered: "Actually, the real prince wanted to kill my younger brother, but he failed. So what can the emperor do if he knows? Look at the queen who poisoned me, and the fourth princess pushed me out. It's all over." Is it different? This time is different from the previous few times? The queen needs to come forward to take the blame, and she was deposed as a queen?"
Zhang Yunming pondered, "Could it be that the emperor doesn't like the crown prince? Taking advantage of this trouble, he wanted to deal with him severely, but the empress knew about it and went to stop him, which angered the emperor in the end?"
Zhang Yunzheng interrupted: "Never mind him! Anyway, the queen might be abolished now! Isn't this a good thing?"
Zhang Yunming agreed: "It's a good thing, the prince will lose the background of his son." He looked at Shen Wen: "Oh, my brother said you know everything, you have to talk about this matter from beginning to end."
Shen Wen sighed: "What I saw was the previous life, but now, there are many variables."
Zhang Yunming said condescendingly: "It's okay, let me tell you what you saw first." His mother, Li Shi, was a superstitious person who believed in Taoist prophecy and locked up her son. There is a gene for accepting strange talk and weird theory.
Shen Wen talked in detail about how the Bei Rong invaded in the previous life, how the Shen family army perished, how his two elder brothers died in battle, how Marquis Pingyuan called for a fight, Zhang Yunming was the vanguard, the third prince Shen Zhuo and Shen Xiang accompanied him, how Marquis Pingyuan fought Death, the prince framed the three princes for colluding with the Beirong, Shen and Zhang governments to cooperate with the enemy, Zhang Yunming, how did the third prince and Shen Zhuo die under the arrow rain of the imperial army, and then copied and killed the two governments, how did Zhang Yunzheng get out, the assassination of the prince failed, the country fell, the capital city Moving south, how did Zhang Yunzheng fight for twenty years, and how did he die tragically in the end...
The night is deep, and Shen Wen's whispers in the room are like ghostly chants. Back then, Zhang Yunzheng's few words made Zhang Yunming feel the danger. But now, Shen Wen told a long story, one scene after another, one character, one pile of blood and tears... Zhang Yunming was horrified when he heard it, while Zhang Yunzheng's blood boiled with enthusiasm, and his teeth were gnashing loudly.
After Shen Wen finished speaking, there was a rustling wind in the courtyard. It was early spring, but it was like cold autumn.
After a long time, Zhang Yunming said to Zhang Yunzheng: "Brother, I'm sorry for you."
Shen Wen was surprised that Zhang Yunming's first thought was to comfort Zhang Yunzheng, but after thinking about it, he realized that Zhang Yunzheng was not the lonely and brave man who was red-eyed, but just a sixteen-year-old boy raised by his parents. What world? He has no experience in interpersonal communication, and is really as innocent and kind as Zhang Yunming said. No wonder Zhang Yunming allows Zhang Yunzheng to bully him so much.
In the past, Shen Wen wanted to get acquainted with Zhang Yunzheng because he wanted to meet the indomitable fighter in his previous life, but now Shen Wen realized how cruel Zhang Yunzheng's experience in his previous life was: one day, a young man who had never experienced anything in the world was thrown into the whirlpool In the center, all the loved ones who had loved him all died tragically. How much pain and deep remorse he had to endure, and at the same time, he would immediately pick up the sword and start a fight with the prince...
Shen Wen suddenly didn't want to see that Zhang Yunzheng anymore. She hoped that Zhang Yunzheng would grow up like this in this life, a doted brother, a bad-tempered boy, and never have to experience those heart-pounding pains, and never grow up to be that crazy The Vengeful Mob…
Zhang Yunzheng stammered, "Brother...I'm useless...I didn't get revenge in the end."
Zhang Yunming sighed: "Actually, as long as you live well, no one expects you to take revenge."
Zhang Yunzheng said: "But, I want revenge!"
Shen Wen nodded and said: "I also choose revenge. So I have already arranged countermeasures against what they did. It's just..." Shen Wen said worriedly: "As soon as I acted, things began to change. In the previous life, my brother did not Born, Chen Guifei died recently, Eunuch Gu is dead, the empress has not been abolished, and the fifth prince is still alive... Now, during the winter hunt, the prince did not succeed, but someone murdered my little brother, and then the empress was abolished... I no longer know which direction things will go, and I am worried that my strategy will deviate, and if the situation in the future is different from the previous life, the countermeasures I prepared will be useless."
Since Zhang Yunming knew that Shen Wen could predict the future, he felt that she should have countermeasures. He didn't doubt Shen Wen's intelligence like Shen Jian did, because Shen Wen had deceived him all these years, he thought Shen Wen was the kind of genius who was very scheming.
Zhang Yunming didn't worry about whether Shen Wen's arrangement could compete with the prince, but pondered over the changes Shen Wen said. After thinking about it carefully, he said: "The overall situation will not change, it will still be the same as in the previous life."
Shen Wen immediately asked, "Why?"
Zhang Yunming said: "In the previous life, the crown prince wanted to get rid of the Marquis of Zhenbei because he was afraid of the third prince. Look, the situation is different now?"
Shen Wen said: "The current situation is more unfavorable to the prince than in the previous life, he should want to do this even more!"
Zhang Yunming nodded and said, "Besides, there is no one from Beirong to change the status quo."
Zhang Yunzheng clenched his fists and said, "Then we should act first and get rid of the prince!"
Shen Wen curled his lips: "If the prince is removed, the Beirong will not enter the army?"
Zhang Yunming, however, agreed with Zhang Yunzheng: "It's just to enter the army, without the prince's restraint, it is easier to deal with it, and it should be able to resist them."
Shen Wen laughed, which sounded particularly gloomy in the dark, and she said softly: "My purpose is not to resist Bei Rong and prevent it from invading."
Zhang Yunming frowned and asked, "Then what is your purpose?"
Shen Wen whispered: "My purpose is to punish the crime!"
Zhang Yunzheng said: "That's what you said last time! Take a look at the bloody case in your house. If it was really done by the crown prince, he already has a life in his hands! Kill him, and you will be punished for your crime! Don't do it again!" Push three push four!"
Shen Wen sighed lightly: "But I'm very greedy."
Zhang Yunming asked: "What are you greedy for?"
Shen Wen said: "If you kill the prince, you will take revenge? The emperor who knew he had committed a murder but did not pursue it, the staff who advised him, the courtiers who did not uphold justice, and the sergeants who killed your mother and your little brother , shot dead you, the third prince and my third brother's elite soldiers of the emperor, forced to death the imperial forest army of my female family, killed my father and brother, forced to death my sister, and slaughtered 200,000 Shen's army's 500,000 Bei Rong Dajun, are they all right?"
Zhang Yunming finally understood what Shen Wen meant, he felt cold all over for a moment, and stared at Shen Wen dumbfounded.
Zhang Yunzheng didn't quite understand, and asked Zhang Yunming, "What is she going to do?"
Zhang Yunming explained slowly: "She wants to bleed like a river."
Shen Wen's black clothes seemed to blend into the night, she looked out of the window and said to herself: "Yes, I want them to choose evil deeds like in the previous life, but this time, they just chose what they deserve. punishment!"
Since her rebirth, this is the first time she has confessed her purpose without any concealment or scruples. She is not only a protector of her family, although she insists on her own bottom line, she is also an envoy who comes to redistribute life and death in the world. She came for revenge.
Shocked by this grand plan, Zhang Yunming frowned and thought. Zhang Yunzheng immediately accepted Shen Wen's opinion, and said, "This is what it should be! What I saw with my heavenly eyes, even though it hasn't happened yet, it has already happened! They shouldn't be able to go!"
Zhang Yunming said slowly: "You want to make things happen as before, not to kill the prince, but to let him lead out the people and things behind, and then beat them hard. You are really not a good person! Good people will stop these things from happening and save people from falling into the abyss."
Shen Wen muttered in a low voice: "Who said I was a good person?"
Zhang Yunzheng rolled his eyes and said: "Of course she is not a good person!" She is a ghost! Last time, he thought that Shen Wen was kind and would not hurt innocent people. But he didn't understand what Shen Wen meant by "the guilty must be punished". Now he has glimpsed Shen Wen's intention for the first time, which is thousands of times more bloody than his assassination of one person! Even if she could kill a prince, she would not do it. Because she wanted to use the crown prince as an excuse to uproot all connections and then eliminate them all.
After a long time, Zhang Yunming said slowly as if trying to convince himself: "It is not enough to get rid of the prince now. If you only get rid of him, his foundation cannot be destroyed. The third prince has not yet established his own power, and the Lu family is huge. The bureaucratic network, the staff who have advised the prince overtly and secretly, how can they assist the third prince wholeheartedly in the future? They will definitely try their best to trip him up. The emperor can have other princes, and there is no guarantee that the third prince will eventually succeed. And , the prince is removed, the emperor is still there, and the situation is not much better than it is now. If something is leaked and the emperor's attention is caught, our two houses will be tracked down, and it will be a catastrophe... Well, I will listen to you. "
Zhang Yunzheng asked: "What do you listen to her? What do you listen to her?"
Zhang Yunming listened carefully outside, Shen Wen also closed his eyes to feel the surroundings, Zhang Yunming said in a low voice: "Didn't you hear that she mentioned the emperor just now?"
Zhang Yunzheng understood that Shen Wen wanted to change even the emperor, he was rebellious by nature, he didn't feel how rebellious it was, so he said: "That's quite thorough."
Shen Wen whispered: "This matter has to be done step by step. If you can't do it clearly, if it causes chaos, it will be harmful to the people, and it will make it easier for the Beibei to invade in the future. With my father's loyalty to the king, I am If the plan is successful, he might either commit suicide and apologize, or kill his relatives righteously."
Zhang Yunming asked: "Then what are you going to do?"
Shen Wen said: "You must plan carefully, not in a hurry. I want the succession of the throne to be justified, and I have to make sure that the person in charge is the third prince."
Zhang Yunming asked softly, "Can you do it?"
Shen Wen said: "With the support of your family, I can do it."
Zhang Yunming nodded slowly.
Zhang Yunzheng snorted, "She wants money again!"
Being hit by Zhang Yunzheng, Shen Wen argued: "Don't be so straightforward, okay? We have to protect ourselves, so many people's lives are lost, money is nothing but floating clouds!"
Zhang Yunming smiled wryly: "You are really impressive."
Shen Wen said as a matter of course: "Of course! When are you going to buy food?"
Zhang Yunming said: "After more than a month, go to my grandfather's house first, and persuade my grandfather to buy grain. Come back after harvesting summer grain and autumn grain. It will be November anyway." He looked outside and said :"let's go."
Zhang Yunzheng said to Zhang Yunming: "You go first, I have to ask her a few words."
Zhang Yunming was upset now, anyway, the two of them had talked before, so he said to Shen Wen: "We will meet again here in ten days, and we will meet for the last time before we leave Beijing."
Shen Wen nodded in agreement, Zhang Yunming left first, he wanted to walk alone, and think about what Shen Wen said.
After Zhang Yunming left, Zhang Yunzheng asked Shen Wen seriously: "What did you do in that previous life?"
Shen Wen blinked: "No... I didn't do anything..." She didn't say anything about herself in the narration. These two people are not family members, so she didn't want to talk about such a shameful thing.
Zhang Yunzheng was angry: "Liar! If you don't want to tell me, it means you are ashamed!"
Shen Wen immediately became angry: "Who lied to you! About you, didn't you see it in the eyes of the sky? You didn't see it later because you wanted to wake up!"
Zhang Yunzheng said: "Don't confuse right and wrong, I'm saying you didn't tell me about yourself!"
Shen Wen turned his face: "Why should I tell you about me?"
Zhang Yunzheng was furious: "Of course I have to tell! You know everything about me, you have to tell me!"
Shen Wen pouted: "Don't tell!"
Zhang Yunzheng: "Tell me!"
Shen Wen: "No!"
Zhang Yunzheng: "Say it!"
Shen Wen cheated: "I don't want to say it!"
Zhang Yunzheng took offense: "You have to say it! Otherwise I'll make trouble for you!"
Shen Wen's thin eyes widened: "How dare you! How do you want to make trouble?! If you ruin my business, your family will not survive!"
Zhang Yunzheng frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Then I'll catch a lot of mice, cockroaches, and cauliflower snakes, and put them in your house! There are so many! Let them crawl on your bed! Then I'll catch a lot of centipedes and spiders, and throw them into your house." On your clothes..."
Shen Wen was numb all over, and scolded: "You little bastard! You are simply a little hooligan!"
Zhang Yunzheng half-raised his chin: "Tell me quickly! Otherwise, I'll catch it right now! That cauliflower snake is so fat! I especially like girls' makeup, it can penetrate..."
Shen Wen waved his hands angrily: "I hate you! You are so annoying! You are a bastard!"
Zhang Yunzheng raised his eyebrows: "Hurry up!"
Shen Wen knew that Zhang Yunzheng was a guy who could entangle him with all means, so he could only say: "What can I say? In my previous life, I was married to the Crown Prince's officials in the East Palace. They gave evidence of my father and brother's collaboration with the enemy in my name, and then Just strangled me. Are you happy!?"
Zhang Yunzheng looked at Shen Wen with extremely contempt: "How can you be so stupid!"
Shen Wen was at the most vulnerable moment, tears came to his eyes immediately, and he shouted: "What's wrong with me being stupid?! I'm just a girl raised in a boudoir. I was only sixteen years old when I got married, and seventeen and a half years old when I died! What do I know?! You are not much better! You have been tossing and tossing, and you have not avenged?! At least I have waited for a thousand years! I figured out everything, and I am back! Otherwise, you are still in the yard now Be your Miss Zhang!"
Seeing Shen Wen in tears, Zhang Yunzheng felt a little bit wronged, but at the end, he became angry again: "It can be seen how stupid you were back then! Otherwise, why wouldn't you let it go for a thousand years?!"
Shen Wen knew that Zhang Yunzheng was telling the truth, but he was angry with Zhang Yunzheng's poisonous tongue, and jumped up and said: "That was back then! I am much smarter than you now! You are a stupid piece of wood! You bastard!"
Zhang Yunzheng retorted: "I didn't see how smart you are! You just like to eat and drink pigs! Your hands are as fat as pig's feet."
Shen Wen was extremely angry: "Your head looks like a pig's head! Bastard! Big villain! I won't talk to you anymore! I only talk to your brother!" Then he walked out.
Zhang Yunzheng said: "I knew that after my brother agreed, you will have money, so you don't have to flirt with me! Little liar!"
Shen Wen stomped her feet: "Your brother is more sensible than you! You dirty brat!" But she also knew that Zhang Yunzheng was right—Zhang Yunming agreed, and she no longer had to act coquettishly to Zhang Yunzheng, she could scold him however she wanted Bar!
Zhang Yunzheng didn't even apologize, and walked along with Shen Wen and said: "You little snob, you know money!" He had a very bad impression of Shen Wen asking him for money as soon as they met.
Shen Wenlin walked out of the yard, turned around and said to Zhang Yunzheng: "You are a little bully who knows how to bully people! Bad boy! I hate you! Don't follow me!"
Not to be outdone, Zhang Yunzheng said in a low voice, "You're a little liar! Who cares about you!"
The two snorted coldly at each other, Shen Wen flew away and disappeared.
Zhang Yunzheng returned to the Hou's mansion angrily, feeling uncomfortable at all, so he dragged a few servants into a fight, making three or four of them bounce around like fleas, screaming, tossing and turning for half a night before going to bed. up.
Shen Wen also went back to the house depressed, and lay down without talking to Su Wanniang. She was a little confused.
In fact, she didn't bear any grudges against Zhang Yunzheng. Those are the words Shen Wen scolded herself many times, and now Zhang Yunzheng said them, although they are a bit sharp, but from Shen Wen's point of view, they are the truth, she can't care about the truth.
Shen Wen was a little confused, why did he have such a hard time with Zhang Yunzheng
She has been wandering for thousands of years, unable to let go of resentment and guilt. But when it comes to maturity, she is like a seventeen-year-old girl who has read a whole library of books and mastered all theories and knowledge, but in terms of emotional experience, what she has is only the past life and the present life.
In her previous life, she was autistic and partial, pursuing those so-called elegant rules, and her life was depressing and boring. The only time she made an emotional choice was to find herself a husband who later strangled her to death. After her death, she understood that she was so naive and ignorant, unaware of the political situation and conspiracy, and was used by others to harm her relatives. In this life, she doesn't want to live so stupidly. She wants to protect the lost and recovered family, but she also needs to carefully plan what she wants to do. She let herself grow up like an obedient child, making arrangements step by step in the dark, never relaxed and unruly.
She thought about it for a long time, and had to admit: Although Zhang Yunzheng's words were open and sometimes people hated to death, but he was able to pull her into the quagmire of childishness, forgetting all the maturity in a moment, turning into a clay figurine. This made her feel that there was still a place in her heart where she was a child, still growing up, instead of really becoming a female ghost with a history of thousands of years, already decayed like a mummy that could be wiped out at any time. She understands why the elderly want to be with their children and laugh like children—it makes people feel alive and fresh. She indulged herself, let herself be aroused by Zhang Yunzheng to talk nonsense, really angry and angry like an ordinary little girl, to experience the life she missed, shouldn't this be a problem? ... Shen Wen asked himself when he fell asleep, but naturally he didn't get an answer.
Upon waking up, Shen Wen forgot the quarrel the night before. As soon as she woke up, Su Wanniang came in with a smile, and whispered to her, "Little Heipi dug a big hole in the yard yesterday, and the eldest miss thought he would go back to play, so she didn't let anyone fill it in. As a result, Madam Qian walked around in the middle of the night. I stepped on it, sprained my ankle, and it swelled like a big steamed bun."
Shen Wen half opened his mouth: "Is there such a coincidence?"
Su Wanniang nodded and said: "Why don't people say that there is such a thing as retribution! This time, Madam Qian couldn't run away with Little Heipi. I originally said that those people were all dead, but she was fine, so I let her escape. , you see? Isn’t she out of luck?”
There was something in Shen Wen's mind, but before she thought about it, it disappeared. She could only sigh with emotion: "It seems that my younger brother is really lucky. Not to mention that he survived a catastrophe, and those who harmed him will not end well."
Su Wanniang said: "Of course, with Xiao Heipi's appearance, he will be a general in the future. How can a general not have evil spirit? The old man said, this is brought by fate, ordinary people don't have it."
Shen Wen found her missing thoughts: Is Shen Qiang the evil star that people call? She frowned and said, "Bring that guy when I have time, I have to give him a good enlightenment, some poetry etiquette and so on."
Su Wanniang covered her mouth and smiled: "What are you talking about! What kind of etiquette does Xiao Heipi learn in poetry and books like that?"
Shen Wen sighed: "If he is really like what you said, he has evil spirits in his womb, if he doesn't cultivate it, he will be a murderous person in the future."
Su Wanniang said: "He must be going to the battlefield, isn't he just going to kill people? Don't talk about etiquette in poetry and books, and be serious with him. My father said that the benevolent is invincible, and the one who can restrain him must be the one who is benevolent." Heart."
Shen Wen was stunned for a while, and asked: "The benevolent is invincible, so those who defeat the evil should use the way of benevolence and righteousness instead of using violence to control violence?"
Su Wanniang knew what she was thinking, and whispered: "If you have time, you can definitely try it. But if it's only a few years, I'm afraid that the other party will kill you before you finish teaching."
Shen Wen smiled: "Then I can't take this risk."
Su Wanniang also sighed: "That's right, few of those who have time to talk about benevolence and morality have a knife around their necks."
Shen Wen said: "Of course, no one should be slaughtered arbitrarily, and the murderer should die by the knife!"
Su Wanniang was taken aback by the resentment in Shen Wen's tone, and felt for the first time that this young lady who usually hums and pretends to be weak, is actually fate.
The Fourth Prince hadn't seen Su Wanniang since last year's winter hunt. When he was playing chess with others in the Guanyi Pavilion, he always remembered that time he gave Su Wanniang the jade pendant here, and remembered Su Wanniang's smile that shook his heart. He often patrols the crowd sometimes, knowing that it is impossible to see Su Wanniang, but it is better to be able to see the changing flow of people than staying in the palace. It's like a little hope, better than no hope at all...
The fourth prince was holding a teacup and sitting at the table by the window, looking at the people walking under the spring sun outside the window with some melancholy, envious of them being able to stalk the street so lively, without having to pretend to be lame, and without worrying about someone prying , don’t be afraid to look at the girl you like…
"Young Master Jiang, don't you want to go out for a... spring outing?" the nagging guy babbled while refilling tea for the Fourth Prince. The word "step" needs to use the legs, and the fourth prince has inconvenient legs and feet. Isn't it very considerate to say "You Chun"? Long-winded fellows pride themselves on being careful.
The fourth prince has been here for a long time, but he doesn't like everyone calling him "fourth prince", and he still uses the title "Jiang Gongzi". If someone shouted "Fourth Prince" in public, the Fourth Prince could pretend not to hear, and if he was being chased, he would say "I don't know you".
The fourth prince was still thinking about how to answer so that he would not appear to be self-pitying, but also would not make others feel that he was lonely and self-admiring... Then the long-winded man continued to mutter: "You know that people from the Zhenbeihou Mansion are going to go to the fragrant leaves outside the city. Going to the temple... to enjoy the spring, they also invited the third prince, Marquis Pingyuan, the Ye family, and others, I can't remember, why don't you go with them?"
The fourth prince's heart beat faster and faster, and he could only say calmly: "Well... let me think about it."
The long-winded guy wiped the table and said: "What else do you want? Let's go together, everyone is happy to play together. I really envy those people. When I go to the suburbs, I can see the scenery and listen to a song. It's like a fairy." day!"
The fourth prince lamented in his heart: Then someone must invite me!
The long-winded guy didn't even care whether the fourth prince gave any feedback, and continued: "Hey, tell me, I wipe the tea on the table for people every day, will I be able to cultivate a prince in my next life... don't... be a prince?"
The fourth prince sighed deeply, and didn't bother to talk to the long-winded fellow. The long-winded man saw someone coming in, hurriedly yelled and ran over, the fourth prince also got up, motioned Ding Neishi to help him, and returned to the palace early.
In the next two days, the fourth prince asked Ding Neishi to arrange someone to watch the third prince's action. As soon as he came out or went in, he went out quickly to see if he could "encounter" him for a while.
Because there are not many princes in the palace, they are not kept together, but live separately in the courtyard, which cannot be called a palace, but the distance between them is not far.
I heard that a long time ago, there was a school for the princes, and the princes could go to school together, but the queen wanted the eldest prince to study alone, so she asked each prince to hire her own teacher. The fourth prince was originally supervised by his mother for enlightenment, reading, and learning to ride and shoot, but since he broke his leg and then his mother passed away, he no longer hired a teacher and instructor, and he was bored in the courtyard of the deep house and could not come out. Now the activities are finally started again, but before the empress was deposed, she never mentioned to invite her husband again, and the emperor didn't bother to take care of this matter, so the fourth prince was abandoned and was in the stage of self-study.
When Concubine Chen Guifei was alive, the third prince naturally had a husband teaching literature and Eunuch Gu supervised his martial arts practice. As soon as Concubine Chen Guifei died, his husband resigned and Eunuch Gu returned to the emperor's side. The third prince went wild, stopped memorizing the Four Books and Five Classics, stopped writing articles, and stopped practicing his handwriting. He always went to Zhenbei Hou Mansion to ride horses with those young masters. The fourth prince suspects that the third prince has stopped studying at all, and is even worse than himself.
The fourth prince took the third prince out of the courtyard for a stroll, and he missed the first two times, but the third time happened to bump into the third prince who was walking back with his head held high.
The fourth prince saluted hurriedly, and called out, "Brother Three Emperors."
The third prince stopped and quickly returned the gift.
Since the Fourth Emperor's younger brother pointed out the symptoms of his mother's poisoning at the maid's house in Zhenbei Hou's mansion, he has not been too close to him. The third prince was also dizzy by a series of events such as his mother's funeral, finger marriage, and assassination, and had no time to pay attention to the fourth prince. Although the ministers are still competing with the emperor, the possibility of the empress being deposed is still very high. The third prince is in a good mood. When he sees the fourth emperor brother, he feels that he has lost love for this crippled younger brother, and he feels a little guilty.
He asked the fourth prince: "How is the fourth prince recently? How is your health?"
The fourth prince hurriedly said: "Thank you, brother, for asking, I'm fine. Now it's springtime, brother, won't you go out for a walk?"
The third prince immediately said: "Oh, on April 4th, I will go to the Fragrant Leaf Temple outside the city with Mr. Shen Ergong."
The fourth prince blinked, and looked at the third prince wistfully, that look is what the fourth prince borrowed from Baoguan who often came to ask him if he could play a game of chess with him.
The third prince lost immediately: "If the fourth prince wants to go, you can go with me."
The fourth prince hurriedly saluted and said, "Thank you, brother three."
The two said goodbye after a few more words, and the fourth prince returned to his palace with a smile on his lips. After the third prince returned to the house, he realized that the reason why the fourth prince stopped him was to let him invite the fourth prince to a spring outing. The third prince smiled: "This fourth son, if there is something to say, just say no? What if I can't guess?"
Ding Neishi also asked the fourth prince in a low voice: "What if the third prince doesn't say the invitation?"
The fourth prince said frankly: "Concubine Chen Guifei is very considerate of other people's moods, and she is polite. The third prince is her son, so he will invite me naturally. If he forgets, I will meet again. Ask the same questions until he asks me to go with him."
Ding Nei Shixin said how he hadn't found out that his master could be so thick-skinned in the past.
The Silkworm Prosperity Ceremony is approaching, and the ministers are still opposed to the emperor’s decision to abolish the Empress. Some people demand that the Empress be abolished, and they should preside over the Silkworm Prosperity Ceremony. After all, the decree of the abolition of the Empress has not yet been officially promulgated by the Ministry of Rites.
Hearing the voices of these ministers, the prince saw that the emperor was somewhat vague, thinking that the queen mother was still expected to keep her position as queen. The harem needs a queen, and the important ceremonies of the country all need a queen. He was going to see his mother in the cold palace, and wanted his mother to ask his father to accompany him, so that maybe the emperor could take back the words of the deposed empress.
