Chapter 89

It's rare for Wanrong to act like a baby to Pan'er.

For a moment, Pan'er hugged her daughter, filled with emotion.

The people in the palace are complicated, and the children are all precocious. In Zong Yue's courtyard before, Pan'er was touched when she heard what Wan Rong said to Zong Qian.

The intrigue among the adults caused the children to be implicated as well, but Pan'er pretended not to know. Seriously speaking, although she felt a little regretful that the children had lost their innocence, she did not object. After all, in this palace, innocent people can't survive, and the most important thing is to survive without anything. So it's rare to see her daughter act like a baby like this, and she is very useful in her heart.

She still made up her mind: "Anyway, you can't take Xiaohong with you. Even if you take it, there is nowhere for you to run away and do what you want to do with it."

"I don't care, I'll go talk to my father." Wanrong got out of Pan'er's arms and ran away in a hurry. Pan'er didn't stop screaming, so she could only helplessly shake her head at Aunt Qing. .

Aunt Qing smiled and said, "His Royal Highness loves the Lord of the Five Princesses so much that he might agree."

On the other end, Wanrong went to Yuqing Palace, the prince was discussing matters with someone in the study.

Fu Lu saw the princess of the five princesses approaching here in a hurry, and immediately turned his feet, saying that he was going to pay his respects and let Zhang Laishun guard him.

Before the poor Zhang Laishun could react, he saw a figure flashing in front of his eyes. He still had the word 'bold' in his mouth. After seeing clearly that it was Princess Wu, his voice swirled in his throat and swallowed back.

"Father!"

The prince glanced at the door, raised his hand, and the two officials in official robes who were reporting matters in the study retreated respectfully.

"Father!"

This sound was much sweeter than the one just now, Wan Rong ran over, hugged the prince's arm, and shook her hand: "Mother won't let my daughter take Xiaohong to Xiyuan together, father, please tell mother, let her Take your daughter."

The 'nonsense' brewed by the prince was shaken away before he spit it out.

"Next time you try to break into your father's study, I will confiscate your little red."

"Father." Wanwei said pitifully.

The prince glanced at her angrily.

Seriously speaking, Wanrong looks very much like Pan'er, with a thin body and a very similar face and eyes. Especially those big eyes, ready to cry, are very cute.

It's a pity that this child is an escape, young and doesn't know hobbies. The other girls were all fair and clean, but she was tanned into a healthy honey color, but the crops belonged to other people's family, and the children belonged to their own family. Anyway, the prince looked very pleasing to the eye.

"What are you doing with Xiaohong? Xiyuan has a lot of water, mountains and rocks, and you can't run a horse. Your mother was right not to let you take her with you."

Wanrong was a little confused.

Usually, she used the great method of acting like a baby, and the father would not say everything was obedient, but anyone who could agree would agree to her. The mother said so, and the father also said so, it seems that I really can't take it.

"But after a few months, what will Xiaohong do?"

The prince laughed a little, a child is a child, and the questions asked are so childish.

"Naturally let the eunuch of the stable supervise her. When you come back, you will find that Xiaohong has grown a lot."

It can only be the.

Soon it was time to set off for Xiyuan.

Xiyuan is adjacent to the Forbidden City, and there is a long street in the middle. The gate of Xiyuan is directly facing Xihua Gate, which means it has been moved from here to the opposite side.

However, there are many rules in the palace, so it is naturally impossible for the masters to go on foot, so the carriages, horses and sedan chairs are all ready, and even the concubines in the East Palace go to Xiyuan in a carriage.

Because they are so close together, they can't be called fatigued by horses and horses, so after settling down in the Spring Coupling Zhai, Wan Rong and Zong Yue still have the spirit to lead Zong Qian around, as if they are familiar with the environment.

It's not the first time to live in this Spring Coupling Zhai Pan'er, it's the place where I came back to Xiyuan last time.

Spring Couple Zhai is one of the buildings in Jinggu. Apart from Chunyu Zhai, there are Chunyi Zhai, Aicuilou, Zhixiuxuan, Xubaizhu, etc. in Jinggu. Jinggu belongs to one of the buildings in the South China Sea. Going out from the east gate of Jinggu, you can see Yingtai standing in the middle of the water in the distance.

Yingtai is the essence of the entire Xiyuan South China Sea. It is surrounded by water and is composed of pavilions, pavilions, and rockery corridors. It is full of flowers, plants and trees. The palaces are steep, and the water and sky are the same color. .

Usually the emperor brings his concubines to Xiyuan to escape the summer heat, and most of them live in Yingtai. This time it is the same, so the location of Jinggu is quite advantageous, and it is convenient to go to Yingtai.

Of course, there are Yi Nian Hall and Fengze Garden with better locations. These two places are lived by King Qi and King Chu leading their families, but these two places are not as big as Jinggu, and there are not many family members from King Qi and King Mansion of Chu. These two places are very appropriate, and it is impossible to find any bias on the surface.

Pan'er took Aunt Qing and others to pack their luggage, and Zong Yuewan's three children came back after going out for a stroll, and they probably knew that there were many people living in Xiyuan, so they didn't dare to wander around.

At noon, the crown prince didn't come over for dinner, so Pan'er ate with the three children.

During the period, Zhang Laishun came over and said that the crown prince was in Yingtai, and His Majesty held a banquet in Yingtai.

Naturally, this time not only the empress, concubines and several princes came to Xiyuan, but also some relatives of the emperor and several high-ranking ministers, but most of them lived in Zhonghai and Beihai. .

In the afternoon, the prince came back. He seemed to have drunk wine, and Pan'er smelled of wine on his body.

Ever since he made an exception in the hands of the King of Chu, it seems that the prince's drinking floodgates have been opened. Anyway, since then, he can't get away with it, but the prince still has a measure. Generally, he will not let himself get drunk. They are equipped with anti-alcohol medicine.

The prince took off his robe and lay down on the bed.

Pan'er asked someone to prepare wine and tea for him, and then wiped his head and face with warm water. After wiping, she was about to put down the veil when the prince grabbed her hand.

"Come up and lie down with Gu for a while."

In fact, Pan'er was already taking a nap, so he didn't sleep at the moment, but he went to bed with the prince and lay down for about half an hour. Fu Lu came to report that there was something wrong, and the prince got up and changed his clothes in a hurry left.

Sometimes seeing the prince like this, Pan'er felt tired for him, but she couldn't say anything. But she didn't think about it for too long, because the three children came and said they wanted to go out for a stroll.

Seeing that the sun was not so strong outside, Pan'er did not refuse, and led Wanrong, Aunt Qing and others out of the Spring Couple Zhai.

Jingguli has already been visited by children, since it is said to go out for a stroll, it must be outside. After leaving the gate of Jinggu, there is the Hefenghuilu Pavilion, Fengze Garden and Yinian Hall to the east, Juren Hall to the north, and there is no view to the west. After thinking about it, Paner led the children to the east. , intending to look around by the water.

Not long after walking, she met Princess Yue leading her eldest son Zong Qie and daughter Shu Ying.

Pan'er and Concubine Yue didn't know each other very much, but the children of the two families came and went quite frequently. Zongqie was one year older than Zongyue. Since Zongyue entered the study room, he took good care of him, and Wanwan except the sisters in the East Palace. , just played well with Shuying from the Yue Palace.

So I saw it from a distance, and the adults hadn't spoken yet, but the children on both sides talked.

"I knew you, Shuying, would come too. Come and play with me when you have time, or I can go to you."

Seeing this, Pan'er and Concubine Yue didn't speak, but became a little closer. Seeing that they both led their children out to see the scenery, they naturally walked together for the rest of the journey.

Concubine Yue's health is not very good, Pan'er saw that she was pale, but she couldn't hide her beauty, and wondered if she was suffering from boredom. In the past, the two of them could take pictures together from time to time in Kunning Palace, but since the fifth prince left the palace and opened the palace, they saw each other less and less.

Pan'er occasionally only heard that Princess Yue's health was not good. On the contrary, the side concubine surnamed Guo was very popular, but she didn't care too much about it.

"This Xiyuan is really different from the Forbidden City..." It's hard to say something too close, so naturally I can only talk about Jing'er.

Following behind from a distance, Shuying whispered to Wanrong: "My mother rarely goes out, and there are almost no people to meet outside. Can you tell your mother to invite her to invite my mother more when she is free?" Go out to get some air? My mother has been in poor health, the imperial doctor said there is nothing serious, I think she is just bored."

Shuying's delicate face... was full of requests, and Wanrong naturally couldn't say no.

As for the affairs of the Yue Palace, she still knows something about it because of her friendship with Shuying, but because of the dispute between the main concubine and the side concubine, she herself was born and raised by the side concubine, so she has no position to speak.

"Actually, my mother seldom goes out, but it should be different when you come to Xiyuan. This place is bigger, much bigger than the East Palace, and the scenery is also good. I will talk to my mother quietly when the time comes. But you have to persuade your mother more, Let her not be bored all the time, she will definitely get sick if she is bored for a long time."

"You don't know, my mother didn't plan to come to Xiyuan this time, but it was because I persuaded my eldest brother that she agreed."

Don't look at Wannuan like a little adult, if you talk about this kind of topic in depth, she will know what it is and don't know why, so she can only look at Shuying with sympathy.

"Don't worry, I will definitely tell my mother."

Seeing a gazebo halfway, Pan'er and Princess Yue went in and sat down to rest.

The children didn't come in, but stood by the water and floated with pebbles. Seeing the children having fun, the two couldn't hide their joy, and they didn't forget to tell the servants to take good care of the little masters.

Pan'er felt that the children finally showed their innocence, but she didn't know that Princess Yue felt almost the same way, because she was useless, so the two children would inevitably bear the burden that they should not have at this age, and they will only be so young next year a little.

After this trip, Princess Yue realized that the two children had another side, and only then did she realize how dereliction of duty her mother was.

She turned her gaze to Pan'er.

Although she seldom goes out, she has long admired this beloved concubine of the Eastern Palace. We have known each other many years ago, and we have met and talked, but because of our little thoughts, we are not close to each other.

But Zongyue and Wanying are very good. Although Princess Yue has hardly spoken with the two children, she has heard the children mention the two many times, and they are very close in conversation. It is so true when I saw them today. .

She thought, maybe people are different, maybe this 'beloved concubine' is a good one, who can raise such sensible and generous children as the governor, so how bad can I be.

Concubine Yue thought too much for a moment, and she couldn't help mourning. Pan'er saw it, but wanted to pretend she didn't see it, but she couldn't bear it.

"The scenery in Xiyuan is extremely beautiful. When the weather is good, you can go out and take a walk more often, which can also make you feel refreshed."

"Su Liangdi is right. Originally, I didn't plan to come this time. It was Shuying who persuaded me that it would be good for my body to go out and relax."

The two stood up while talking. There was a bamboo forest near the gazebo, which looked very quiet, and the two walked there.

Pan'er saw that Princess Yue seemed to want to say something to him, so she didn't let Aunt Qing follow, and Princess Yue also waved away the people around her.

"Su Liangdi, I see Zongqie and Shuxie always mentioning Zongyue and Wanying every day, and the children are also very close. I have a question I've always wanted to ask you, but I don't know how to say it." Princess Yue hesitated.

Pan'er thought for a while, and said, "Princess Yue just said so."

"Can you tell me, how can I please a man? I'm not talking about someone else, but my prince..." I probably knew that this was too presumptuous. Princess Yue stumbled and her pale face turned red. I was taken aback by her words, and I couldn't bear to see her like this.

"Or, how to make myself feel better..."

"Isn't this the fifth sibling?" A male voice came from behind, Pan'er and Princess Yue turned their heads to look over, and saw the King of Chu leading the Seventh Prince standing about seven or eight zhang away from here.

Concubine Yue immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and realized that she was being abrupt. If she said such words outside, what would it look like if others heard them? Fortunately, the two of them are far away from here, so they probably didn't hear them.

"Second brother is well, seventh brother is well."

"I've seen His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and the Seventh Prince."

King Chu smiled and walked over.

"Fifth brother and sister don't need to be too polite, this is Su Liangdi, right?" King Chu looked Pan'er up and down, and said.

It was not the first time for the two to meet, especially the palace banquets were frequent, and they knew each other's identities, one was just a prince, the other was a prince's concubine... Naturally, they never spoke.

Pan'er didn't know whether it was because the King of Chu and the crown prince were enemies, or because the King of Chu's eyes were too aggressive, or because he asked the question knowingly, she felt a fit of discomfort, smiled slightly, and pretended to be looking for a child. , looked over at the children.

Concubine Yue was also very surprised that King Chu came up to say hello suddenly.

Seeing this, he also looked over and said, "Are Wanrong and Shuxie looking for us?"

Pan'er said: "It seems to be."

Concubine Yue hurriedly nodded to King Chu: "Second brother, the children are looking for me and Su Liangdi, I won't stay longer waiting for women and children."

The two bent their knees and left slowly.

The King of Chu touched his chin and smiled, and raised his chin to the Seventh Prince: "She is a beauty, this is the most beloved concubine of your prince and brother."

The Seventh Prince is a bit stupid. This is something everyone in the palace knows. It looks normal on the surface, but he is almost eighteen. He is almost an adult and can go out to build a mansion. In fact, his brain is similar to that of a child. .

No one dared to say whether it was the prince, but it was well known that Emperor Cheng'an disliked the seventh prince.

Hearing this, the Seventh Prince scratched his head, and said softly: "I heard from Xiaodouzi that the prince's brother's favorite concubine is that Hu Liangdi, not this Su."

"That's fake, it's deceitful, your prince and brother made a mistake."
