However, Duan Tingxuan also understands that it is about the throne, and it is hard to predict how much brotherhood will account for under this premise. Do you have no friendship when you are the emperors in history? Li Shimin is the Ming lord of all ages, and there is also the change of Xuanwu Gate; Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe was added, and the first one was to remove the military power of the brothers who put him on the yellow robe; Zhu Yuanzhang is even more ruthless, brothers who live and die together, let him kill There are hardly a few derogatory ones left. Are these not emperors with affection? But in the face of the throne, their choices are almost the same ruthless.
Therefore, Xiao Houye appeared to be confident on the surface, but he actually had seven or eight rabbits in his heart. It wasn't until this time, when he saw that the prince could still smile in the face of his own gag, obviously not letting this potential threat occupy all his thoughts, that he really felt relieved.
This shows that the crown prince really cares about the fourth prince. After hearing this, his first reaction was not to get rid of this younger brother quietly. Otherwise, it would be Duan Tingxuan dancing the bear dance in front of him. See if he can do it. Can you laugh
"According to you, what should we do about this matter?" His Royal Highness panted heavily, thought for a while and then asked with a gloomy face: "Does the emperor know about this matter?"
"If I didn't want to hide the truth from the emperor, I wouldn't tell His Highness the truth in this study." Duan Tingxuan smiled wryly, but seeing the crown prince looking at him thoughtfully, he said softly: "So, you want to protect the elder?"
"Whether I want to protect him or not is not important, what is important is whether the crown prince wants to protect him or not?" Duan Tingxuan said in a deep voice, after a while, after thinking about it, he seemed to have made up his mind, and said through gritted teeth: "Your Highness, the empress is mine." Auntie. We are close cousins. No matter what decision you make, I will naturally support you unconditionally. Although I am also on good terms with the Fourth Prince, but... don't say that this is a matter of the royal family, and no personal affair is allowed , even if there is. It must always be... divided into relatives and distant ones."
"Bah! You sound nice. Think I don't know? If I really make up my mind to get rid of Chang Jing, you will feel cold if you don't say it." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince snorted coldly. Without this ability to read people's hearts, how can he become the emperor's most important prince when he is so fat
Duan Tingxuan remained silent, if the crown prince has said something like this, you have to argue that you can't. Impossible, that's really stupid to draw a line with the future emperor of a country's prince. And there is also suspicion of contempt for the prince's IQ, so he didn't speak, which was tantamount to acquiescing.
"You are not willing, but you are willing to be me? You just treat him as a cousin. But I regard him as my own brother." His Royal Highness beat the bed, and after revealing his true feelings, he suddenly took a few deep breaths. He took a deep breath, and then said in a deep voice: "Concubine Jing...was there affection with King Xiangyang...that day?"
"According to the news disclosed by Lu Fengyu. Concubine Jing was... raped by the King of Xiangyang that day..." Duan Tingxuan said without hesitation. This was indeed the news that Lu Fengyu had betrayed him.
"This bastard. A bastard who is not as good as a beast, I... I must not let him go." The prince was so angry that his face turned purple, and he beat on the couch desperately.
Duan Tingxuan hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness, calm down, this matter must not be seen by others. With all due respect, if the emperor finds out, even if you want to... let the fourth prince go, I'm afraid that the emperor will... It's hard to say..."
The prince also knew that what Duan Tingxuan said was reasonable, that it was the Crown Prince of the East Palace after all, and after taking a few deep breaths, he managed to suppress his anger, and seeing Duan Tingxuan looking out the window, he knew that he should leave.
"Then I'll go back." As the crown prince, sneaking out for a trip is already too much, and it would be even more important if he stayed outside for another night. The prince is not unreasonable, seeing Duan Tingxuan's hint, he stood up and straightened his clothes, then walked out with a serious face.
"Your Highness."
Duan Tingxuan hurriedly called him to stop, and then came to the front with a few steps, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness came here excitedly, but now he rushed out angrily, with a complexion as if I owe you a million taels of silver, such a strange behavior In the eyes of others, I'm afraid it's inappropriate, especially the emperor's insight... that... you know..."
"I understand, of course I understand." The prince nodded, but quickly continued to whisper: "But how the hell do you let me go out with a happy face? After I know such news?"
Duan Tingxuan: ... It's really strange, so the prince can also swear
"I don't care, you tell me something that will make me happy, and let me walk out of here happily." The prince began to make trouble out of no reason, only to hear the young master's head full of black lines: "Is there anything that can make the prince happy?" ?Your Highness, don't force others to make things difficult for you."
"Now you think about telling me not to make things difficult for others. When you told me this embarrassing thing just now, why didn't you think that you were also making things difficult for me?" Continue to be a rascal, hum! Who let this bastard Ting Xuan make him unhappy? If he is not happy, he should not be happy either.
"How fresh, if I don't tell His Highness about this, should I tell the emperor? Or keep it a secret, only Dong Lou and I know? I told Your Highness that I went to Jiangnan to vindicate my father-in-law. If I really said that, Can you resist the urge to kick me to death?"
Duan Tingxuan rolled his eyes and exposed the truth mercilessly, but the crown prince relied on him, and said angrily: "I don't care about these things. Anyway, if you don't want to come up with a reason, I won't leave the palace. You can explain it to your father, queen and queen." .”
"Why did Your Highness come here?"
The crown prince of the East Palace was playing a scoundrel, even if he was as powerful as the young master, he had no choice but to understand this cousin's preferences. After thinking about it for a while, he came up with a happy thing and asked a question casually.
"Why did I come here?"
The prince was stunned for a moment, and then Fang Mei beamed and said: "Isn't it because you and your younger siblings came back from Liaodong? Now everyone in the capital says that the Buddha Jumping Wall in Linqing Anlelou is the best delicacy in the world. I have eaten there two or three times, and when I came back, I was full of hype; there is also a literati who is a foodie, and even wrote some poems and songs such as "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" and "Linqing Pin Buddha Jumps Over the Wall"; The fragrance of Qi meat floats around the neighborhood, and the Buddha heard that "abandoning Zen and jumping over the wall" is even recited all over the world. Even the concentration of this palace can't help yearning for it. It's so easy to look forward to the stars, the moon, and you to go home. I thought you would be able to eat at noon today, so Baba rushed over here, who knows that I will have to wait until tomorrow, I will not be able to make it through tomorrow, if you don’t send me a jar, I will send someone to the Anpinghou’s mansion, Hmph! As the crown prince, I still have this bit of power, you kid can figure it out."
Duan Tingxuan quickly laughed and said: "How dare you miss His Highness? Don't worry, Nuan Nuan said that tomorrow, not only will Buddha jump over the wall, but also a boiled fish. It will be eaten with chili, I think His Highness will definitely I like the taste, it's much better than mustard and peppercorns, in Nuan Nuan's words, it's an authentic spicy taste."
"Oh? There is such a good thing? Yes, there is indeed such a dish that is often mentioned together with Buddha Jumping over the Wall, but it is quite controversial. Some people love it like life, while others hate it like a thorn in their eyes. It is said to be the most terrible taste in the world, but it seems that whether it is good or bad, I have to judge and comment on it.”
"That's right, so His Highness can wait at ease in the East Palace tomorrow." Duan Tingxuan smiled slightly, and seeing the crown prince stood up and walked out of the study with satisfaction, he hurriedly sent it out, all the way to the gate, and saw the fat man getting into the carriage with a smile on his face Only then did the young master heave a long sigh of relief. It's easy to fool around foodies in the dark. Fortunately, His Highness is a foodie.
Looking up at the setting sun in the sky, he had already reached the top of the mountain, so the young master turned around and went to his mother, and sure enough, he saw his father was there, so he told him the purpose of the prince's visit. I heard that His Highness wanted to jump over the wall and boil fish Coming, the old Hou Ye and his wife couldn't help laughing knowingly. Duan Ni twirled his beard and said: "Don't say that His Royal Highness is thinking about it, even I am very curious now, I don't know what it would be like for the Buddha to jump over the wall. I also like this kelp silk today, but I am surprised that I have never eaten it before. This thing."
Duan Tingxuan said with a smile: "This is really a coincidence. At that time we were in Liaodong, the victims were waiting to be fed, but there was not much food left in the warehouse. I don't know when the relief money will arrive? In desperation, I had to use a dead horse as a living horse doctor. I didn't expect to try it, it was very delicious, Nuannuan especially liked it, so I brought it back, and the old lady also liked it, I wonder how my mother would eat it?" Of course, it cannot be said that the kelp was discovered by Su Nuannuan, Fortunately, it is impossible for parents to send someone to Liaodong to find out what happened.
Mrs. Yang smiled and said, "It's okay if I eat it, but I heard that your second mother doesn't like it, but your second brother and younger siblings all say it's delicious. This person's taste is really changing and there is no certainty."
The family said a few words, watched the sun go down, Duan Tingxuan went back to Chunfengyuan, but saw that Su Nuannuan was not in the house, so he asked Honglian, "Where is your grandma?"
Honglian smiled and said: "I went to the kitchen. The daughter-in-law of Xue's family sent someone to say that the village sent a lot of ingredients, saying that they were ordered by Grandpa and Grandma, so Grandma went to have a look, and she will probably be back soon."
Duan Tingxuan slapped his head and said: "But, I actually forgot about this. When passing by Liuzhuang, I remembered that the old lady would eat this Buddha Jumping Wall when I came back, so I ordered Siping to send a message to let them find the ingredients. I sent it here. I didn't expect it to be delayed until this time, but fortunately it was delivered, otherwise Minger will make the crown prince and the second prince and the fourth prince happy for nothing, do I still want to live?"
After the words fell, Su Nuannuan came in, and he asked with a smile: "How? Have you seen the ingredients? How are you?"
Su Nuannuan raised her eyebrows brightly and said: "No wonder you said that Liu Guan is a formidable person, but in three days, it's difficult for him to prepare such a complete set. Those ingredients are exactly the same as when they were in Linqing that day. Nothing less than that, nothing else, how did he get the seafood."
