Dressed as a man with the eldest son

In the spring of the 30th year of Yongzhao, there was a series of laughter from children in the imperial garden.

"Come and catch me, come and catch me!"

"This way, this way..."

"I'm here!"

A few children in the corner are playing a blind man game.

The palace maids and eunuchs happily surrounded and watched, the palace has not been so lively for a long time, since Yongzhao [-] large numbers of palace people were released back, the palace has become deserted.

In the past ten years, the queen "died of illness", and the concubines were traveling abroad. In recent years, they have set up women's schools in various places. They only return to Beijing for a few days on New Year's Eve every year, and they go home to visit their relatives. They don't live in the palace at all. There are only two masters in the palace, the Holy One and the Prince, so there is no need for so many palace people, and they are being cut down almost every year.

Three years ago, the crown prince specially ordered to recruit wealthy businessmen from all over the world, allowing them to divide up the supply of the royal family in the form of auctions. Most of the 24 yamen were abolished at once. Now there are less than [-] people left in the palace, and many palaces that are not used in the palace are locked. closed.

There are no concubines, no princes and princesses, and the palace people also lack a lot of entertainment. It is rare for children to come to the palace to play. Those who are not on the schedule will come to watch the fun. Now it is not the same as before. As long as they are not on duty, the palace people can come Enjoy the scenery and relax in the imperial garden, and they are allowed to organize their own fun during festivals.

"That's Prince Yi's son, he's exactly the same as King Yi when he was young." An older court lady sighed.

The younger court lady next to her covered her mouth and smiled, it turned out that King Yi was so chubby when he was young.

Recognizing Prince Yi, the ones holding his sleeves on the left and right are naturally his two younger brothers, and the young lady next to him who is as old as Prince Yi is Princess Changle's eldest daughter, Jing'an. Princess Rong, blindfolded and stumbling forward, was Prince Rong's son, and a few younger ones were being held and played by the nanny.

Rong Wang Shizi couldn't find anyone after touching for a long time, and suddenly lost his patience, he lifted the blindfold and said angrily: "I don't want to be a ghost, and you won't be caught by me." He pointed at Princess Jing'an, " You come to be a ghost!"

Princess Jing'an is gentle and kind, she is the eldest sister at home, she is used to taking care of her younger siblings, and her mother Changle and King Rong are brothers and sisters of the same mother, so she stepped forward to coax her.

"You do it yourself!" Prince Yi stood in front of her, the little fat man with his hips on his hips, "Don't play tricks!"

"I don't want to be a ghost!" Prince Rong was only six years old, and he was used to being a bully at home. He threw the blindfold on the ground and stomped hard, "Don't!"

Yi Wang's son strode forward with two oil bottles hanging on.

The son of King Rong was not afraid, and said viciously: "If you dare to bully me, I will soon be a grandson, and I will be a prince and emperor in the future. When I become emperor, I will have your head chopped off!"

The faces of the palace people changed slightly.

The crown prince has never married these years, and he sent out all the original concubines in the East Palace. In the first two years, the courtiers even wrote a letter to ask for the crown prince to be appointed. Then all kinds of rumors suddenly spread, saying that the crown prince would not marry a wife because of his broken sleeves. There is no male favorite around the prince, and the servants who serve him are all plain-looking. Some say that the prince has been affected by the harem's secrets and can't bear children, and some even say that the prince is actually a eunuch.

But the crown prince never stopped these rumors, and the courtiers seemed to suddenly figure it out overnight, no one wrote a letter to ask for the crown prince to be appointed, but since the crown prince passed and established, the matter of succession was mentioned again.

King Rong is the prince's younger brother, and the courtiers naturally set their sights on Prince Rong's heir. Although King Rong had already asked his son to be crowned heir, there was only one son at the moment, and there were many proposals to choose someone from Prince Yi's mansion. But there are three sons, and Princess Yi is pregnant again, maybe another son, besides, King Yi is the prince's companion, and he and Master Nangong are close friends since childhood.

Since the Shangyuan period, the court has been arguing over this matter until two days ago, the crown prince seemed to have reached an agreement with Master Nangong to call King Rong and King Yi's family into the palace for a short stay, as well as Princess Changle, who seemed to be interested in investigating pick.

Unexpectedly, Prince Rong's son would be so restless. Could it be that King Rong's usual low profile is fake?

The palace people speculated on this side, and Yi Wang's son on the other side yelled coldly with his hands on his hips: "Nothing! Only worthless wimps care about other people's property!"

Prince Rong's son was so annoyed by his disdainful and contemptuous eyes: "The prince is my uncle, not someone else's. You are jealous of me kissing my uncle!"

"To be worthless is to be worthless!" Prince Yi pulled his eyes and stuck out his tongue at him with a grimace, "I'm not jealous, my mother said that I want to earn what I want, and I will go sailing like Uncle Heng in the future, and become an island. Lord, I don’t care about other people’s wealth like you.”

Prince Rong's son was so angry that he burst into tears, shouting to find his mother and sue his uncle.

Prince Yi's son ignored him and ran away with his two younger brothers, not forgetting to drag Princess Jing'an along.

The quarrel between the children quickly spread to the front, and the servant who sent the message repeated it verbatim. King Rong looked embarrassed, fisted and trembling with anger, and immediately took a deep breath and said, "I want to go to Brother Heng, and ask the emperor to Brother favor."

The prince's expression was light: "Have you thought about it?"

King Rong nodded solemnly: "I have always wanted to go to sea to see, but..."

It's just that he has to stay in the capital these years, and it's most suitable to stay under the eyes of the emperor. If he is a fan, the courtiers will not let him go at ease based on what his mother has done, and he himself does not want to add trouble to the court. What's more, the emperor's brother intends to cancel the feudal clan, so he is also cooperating in staying.

"We can't keep Huan'er in the capital anymore..." He showed pain on his face.

Unavoidable accidents happened, after having Huan'er, he didn't want to have any more heirs, and even after he was born, he invited him to be a son. He never expected that the princess would think about it. Huan'er was brought by her personally. If she hadn't said such words, how could Huan'er blurt out.

Nan Ruo sighed softly in his heart, the wife of King Rong, Mrs. Xue, was chosen by Zheng Fan for him. At that time, Zheng Fan was in order to win over people, but later the Xue family was implicated. Mrs. Xue, these years he has looked at the harmony between husband and wife with cold eyes, Mrs. Xue is also gentle and kind, he did not expect to have such thoughts in private.

It's understandable when you think about it, the crown prince obviously won't have any heirs, since he wants to adopt him, he must belong to his stepbrother, how tempting the throne is, the opportunity is within reach, how can you not be tempted.

It's a pity that I'm afraid it will be empty if I have to fetch water from a bamboo basket.

"Alright." The crown prince nodded and said, "I have wronged you by telling you to stay in the capital for so many years."

King Rong's eyes turned red instantly.

The prince sighed slightly: "Go, go find King Heng, and tell him to take you to have fun at sea. If you want to come back, you can come back anytime, just remember to go out and report your safety." After a pause, "By the way You can go and see your mother."

That being said, both brothers knew in their hearts that they would never come back after this trip.

King Rong covered his eyes to wipe away the gushing tears.

The prince laughed: "Okay, why do people who have become fathers still cry so much, be careful to let Brother Huan see and laugh at you."

Nan Ruo and Xia Houchun also spoke a few words of persuasion.

Just as he was talking, Changle came, and she came in to salute the prince respectfully.

In recent years, Changle is the one that has changed the most.

During the two years when Zheng Fan had just left, she was really absurd, she didn't make trouble with others, but hid in the princess' mansion and gave birth to a child who didn't even know who her father was. After a pause, he asked the prince for his will, asking her to follow the concubines to do charity.

After running back and forth like this for a year, Changle seemed to have a complete understanding, and since then she has plunged into her career. She was the first to organize the women's school that is now in full swing.

However, it was probably hurt by Sun Heli's relationship. She never got married, and only raised a dozen or so male pets in the princess mansion. Except for Sun Heli's eldest daughter, she gave birth to one son and two daughters who did not know their father's surname. These years have done a good job in business, Nan Ruo and the crown prince just pretended not to see it, let her be happy.

After Changle saluted, he didn't talk too much nonsense, and said directly: "I want to go to Sulu."

Nan Ruo couldn't help but glanced at the prince.

King Rong frowned: "What do you want to do?"

Changle ignored his brother's dismantling, and said seriously: "Mom must have already mentioned it in a letter to the emperor. Now Sulu is an important port connecting east and west. Mother needs an heir."

She was calm and solemn: "No one is more suitable than me. I am Dayan's princess."

"Nonsense!" King Rong scolded, but just as he opened his mouth, Nan Ruo raised his hand to stop him.

"Are you sure you want to go?"

Zheng Fan has adopted many adopted sons and daughters over the years, and has contributed money and efforts to her. How could he welcome her to pick the fruits? This trip is not just to enjoy the blessings of being a crown princess. It is a problem to live until he succeeds to the throne safely.

Changle firmly said: "I'm sure, I have to try to know the result. If I lose, it's my fate. I only hope that Brother Huang will give me permission to bury me back in Dayan."

King Rong looked at the prince anxiously, expecting him to persuade him, the prince smiled: "Let her go, you are at ease now, you can't stop her from making her unhappy."

King Rong was discouraged: "Well, since she was a child, she has not been able to listen to others' persuasion."

At worst, he also followed to help her.

Seeing the sluggish atmosphere, Xia Houchun yelled twice: "Come on, you're all gone, and I'm the only one left. Alas, I don't have any ambitions anyway, so it's up to you two."

He squeezed his eyes and smiled at the prince and Nan Ruo.

Ten years have passed, and those close to them have long been tacit about the relationship between the two.

All of a sudden everyone laughed.

However, the separation was still unavoidable. King Rong and Changle left as soon as they said they would. King Rong took advantage of Xue Shi and his son in the palace, and quickly packed everything when he returned home. Now that Dayan’s various industries are developed, going out is no longer like before. As troublesome, as long as you have money, you can buy anything, as long as you have enough money.

Knowing the truth, Xue was naturally unwilling, but faced with the choice of following or staying alone, she had to choose the former.

Changle has no worries. The male pets like to bring it, and those who don't like it will be paid for. There is no need to ask for the opinions of the children, and they can be packed directly.

The two walked in a low-key manner, and only said to the outside world that they were going to the temple to fulfill their vows, but Nan Ruo and the prince did not go to see them off, but stood on the tower to watch the siblings kowtow to them, and then left hand in hand.

This is the cruelty of time, no one will stay forever, they will all become passers-by.

Nanruo and the prince intertwined, but luckily they still have each other.
