eighth brother
The eighth brother is not as good as the sixth brother in my heart.
Yang Tingjing's eyes darkened, and he said calmly: "Mother and concubine are joking, the sixth brother and the eighth brother are all brothers of Erchen, and Erchen always treats them equally, but the sixth brother takes care of Erchen."
"You... you... okay, now that your wings are hardened, you dare to talk to me like this? If it wasn't for me who gave birth to you, do you think you would be able to get the glory you have today? Great?" Concubine Shu laughed back angrily, and said in a word: "The prince will only be a prince in this life."
Although Concubine Shu's words were harsh, Yang Tingjing didn't care. The deep affection was just a show for the emperor. He was used to seeing the face behind her, so these few words were nothing.
"If the mother and concubine are okay, the son-in-law will leave first." Yang Tingjing said lightly, and after saying that, Yang Tingjing went straight out, ignoring the distorted concubine Shu Guifei.
After the ceremony, Yang Tingjing officially became the prince. On the way back, he met the ministers of the imperial court, and they all congratulated him with smiles on their faces. Yang Tingjing returned the gifts one by one with a smile, and everyone praised him for his humility in their hearts. Somebody sighed softly, "It's a pity, if the prince is in better shape, he can still fight for the throne. After all, the prince has a very high reputation now."
"I don't think he's seriously ill, does he?"
"You are newly promoted. I don't know. Our prince has been weak and sick since he was a child. Alas, he may be holding on now. He may be weak when he returns to the house. People are always sad when they are in front of others."
"..."
The carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, but the servants reported that the sixth prince had arrived, and he was waiting in the main hall, accompanied by the concubine. Yang Tingjing was very happy when he heard that, and strode away without even changing his dress hall.
As soon as he entered the hall, he heard Yang Tingxing and Fenghuang talking and laughing. Ginkgo handed the tea to Yang Tingxing with both hands. When Fenghuang saw Yang Tingjing coming in, he smiled and pointed at Yang Tingxing with a helpless expression. Said: "The prince is back. Sixth brother has been waiting for you here for a long time. Whatever you say, I want to congratulate you on being promoted to prince, and I want to have a good drink with you."
Yang Tingjing also smiled, different from the polite smile of the minister just now, Yang Tingjing's eyes slightly curved, and he joked: "A cup is not enough, I haven't seen the sixth brother for a long time, we should drink all night, not drunk Not to return!"
As soon as Yang Tingxing turned his head and saw him, he got up, looked at him and smiled, "Okay! It's worth not getting drunk and not returning home for the joy of the seventh brother's conferment."
Yang Tingjing sat down with his robes up, shook his head and said, "This is the Sixth Brother making fun of me. I just heard that Sixth Brother is here as soon as I came back, and I was anxious to see him, so I came here without taking off my clothes. It's a bit thick and uncomfortable to wear."
Yang Tingxing said with a serious face: "Although you don't care about it, there are people who cherish it. But having said that, the few battles you fought at the front this time were really beautiful! It really hit Qi Nan Wang's arrogance! I really admire it!"
Fenghuang ordered his servants to bring up the wine, Yang Tingjing said casually, "Where did you get the wine?"
Fenghuang curled his lips and said, "Didn't Sixth Brother give us ten altars of Taibaizui last time? Because you were not at home, you kept it and didn't move it. You can have a good drink today." Speaking of Fenghuang, there was no Pointing at Yang Tingjing angrily, he said, "You, if you get drunk again and then go up to the roof, you will sleep outside tonight and never come back."
Thinking of Yang Tingjing's drunk appearance last time, Fenghuang was really angry and funny.
Yang Tingjing chose to forget about his drunkenness last time. Yang Tingxing watched the servants pour the wine into his and Yang Tingjing's bowls, and said with a smile on his face, "I want to taste it carefully." Taste the wine given to you."
Yang Tingjing thought about it for a while, and it really happened. It seemed that it had been more than half a year, so he joked to Yang Tingxing: "It turns out that Brother Six was thinking about this. He felt reluctant to give me good wine. I have been thinking about it until now, seeing that I came back, I hurried over to drink with the excuse of congratulations. Alas, if I knew this, I should have asked Fenghuang to send someone back."
Yang Tingxing rolled his eyes at Yang Tingjing and said: "Stop wronging me, I would have forgotten about it if Fenghuang didn't mention it, never thought about it, said it was a congratulations, of course gifts are indispensable, look at the ten-year-old Privet Chen Shao, I've given it to you, don't call me stingy!"
Fenghuang listened to it and laughed, and said: "That's right, I was just about to tell the lord, who would have thought that the lord wronged Sixth Brother, and I'd like to complain after hearing that."
Yang Tingjing turned around and saw that there were six jugs of wine neatly placed in the shade of the yard. He patted his forehead straight and said apologetically, "I think I was in a hurry and didn't see it just now. I'm going to apologize to Brother Six now." .”
"Could it be that you were stimulated again in the palace? Why is it so abnormal? Let's talk about what happened, don't worry about it." Fenghuang said with some doubts, she felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Yang Tingjing today, Yang Tingjing's face froze slightly, and he looked at Fenghuang seriously and said, "What can I do? Don't worry about it."
Fenghuang then asked his servants to bring Taibaizui and Chen Shao each a few jars over, and seeing that it was almost noon, he said, "There is no food without wine. Talk freely, I'll go to the kitchen to get some dishes, and I'll have the wine later .”
"Don't do it, just let the servants do it." Yang Tingxing stopped him, Yang Tingjing looked at Fenghuang, the two looked at each other and smiled, Yang Tingjing pretended to be serious and said: " Although the sixth brother is not particular, my Fenghuang loves me, this time my brother has suffered a lot in the front line, so she naturally wants to serve me with good wine and good food, and I dare not neglect to cook in person."
Fenghuang saw that this man was talking drunk before drinking, so he rolled his eyes and said: "Drink your wine with peace of mind, you are not afraid of making jokes when you say this in front of Sixth Brother. Make some of your favorite food." After saying that, she walked away, because Yang Tingjing rarely had close friends with whom to talk, so she wanted to let the two of them talk to each other at this time.
Yang Tingxing looked at the two people frolicking in front of him, and suddenly felt sad. If Xiaoqing was still there, they should be the same... Yang Tingxing sighed heavily, Yang Tingjing glanced at Yang Tingxing in surprise, Yang Tingxing's eyes were full of loneliness, Yang Tingjing knew that it was the interaction between Caicai and Fenghuang that stimulated Yang Tingxing.
For so long, Yang Tingxing never mentioned Xiaoqing, and pretended nothing happened. After Meng Qing's death, his sixth brother matured instantly.
Fenghuang went to the kitchen, and suddenly remembered that the two of them were just drinking for nothing in the living room, and they didn't even have any dried fruit to go with the wine. The bad duck feet and sauced goose letter were put on a plate, and some fried chestnuts and Beijing dates were pulled out, and the servants were sent to let them eat first.
When Yang Tingjing and Yang Tingxing saw the food brought by the servants, they realized that they drank for a long time without any food. They also smiled, and drank two cups of wine with the side dishes, and talked a little fighting.
After a while, Yang Tingxing said with a solemn expression: "A few days ago, I had already found the person who wanted to murder me, and it took me a long time. These people are hiding very deeply."
Yang Tingjing asked, "Whose is it?"
Yang Tingxing sighed, his face was a little tangled, and he said with some doubts in his eyes: "It belongs to the third brother." Fearing that Yang Tingjing would not believe it, Yang Tingxing added another sentence, "I have no hatred or enmity with the third brother. I don't know why he wanted to kill me, but I'm sure it's the third brother's man, and the person who killed Xiao Qing was the third brother's subordinate."
Hearing that Yang Tingjing was a little suspicious of her, he said in a deep voice: "Third brother? How could it be? Third brother has practiced for many years, and you have no problem with sixth brother, how could you harm you for no reason?"
Yang Tingxing shook his head and sighed, "I don't know either. This matter is still under investigation, maybe the third brother has another reason and I don't know."
Yang Tingjing put down the wine glass in his hand, his eyes darkened slightly, a trace of emotion flashed through Yang Tingjing's eyes, he pondered for a moment and said: "Then let someone check it out slowly. But, remember not to alarm brother. Although he is not in the court, he has a clear understanding of the major events in the court, and he is by no means an idler."
The Third Prince was the person who was most likely to be the prince at the beginning, but when everyone was still a prince, he resolutely followed an old monk to practice, regardless of the emperor's persuasion. If this person wanted to move Yang Tingxing, the reason and Motivation? Although Yang Tingxing was arrogant in the past, it was absolutely impossible to offend the Third Prince...
Yang Tingjing's eyes darkened, and Yang Tingxing understood it, so he picked up the wine glass and said, "Understood, thank you for reminding me, brother, I will remember it. Hey, don't mention these, today is to celebrate for you, come, drink !"
This Phoenix was in the kitchen watching the servants washing rice and cooking. He cleaned his hands and was about to fry some fresh vegetables for Yang Tingjing. Then he washed the pot, poured oil, and asked the servants to help her, The cut vegetables were handed over, but at a glance, he saw a very familiar face next to him, it was none other than Princess Bai Ying, whom Chu Meng said the day before yesterday that he was going to Beijing.
Looking at Princess Bai Ying who was winking at him, Feng Feng was angry and funny, so he asked other servants to take over the work in his hand, and pulled Bai Ying aside to talk.
Fenghuang knew that Princess Bai Ying would come, but he didn't expect to see her in his palace. He looked Bai Ying up and down, and said angrily, "Why did the princess come to the palace?"
Princess Baiying looked at Fenghuang arrogantly, and replied condescendingly: "I can't help it either, I want to find Zijing, and I can find Zijing by guarding you."
"Who told you that you can find Zijing by guarding me?" Fenghuang twitched the corner of his mouth and said, seeing her "uncomprehending the world" and wearing the clothes of a servant of the palace, Fenghuang suddenly felt a little dizzy.
"Ziqian said it." Princess Bai Ying rolled her eyes at Fenghuang, and patted the dust on her body, "I have been here for several days and you haven't noticed me. Your vigilance is really low. If someone wants to To murder you, as long as you pretend to be a servant, you will not be discovered."
"That's because you don't have any murderous intent, maybe my lord knows you're here, but he's happy to see you work for us for nothing." Fenghuang said bluntly.
