Dressed as a man with the eldest son

58

Nanruo and his party were in a hurry to go back, because it is customary not to rush on the twelfth lunar month, although they set off on November 27, the journey was far away, and going back was against the current, so it would take at least ten days to travel day and night.

Second, the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month is the death day of Empress Fu. If you can make it, you can make it.

And the closer this day came, the worse the prince's mood was. His bad mood mainly manifested in being alone in the room and not allowing anyone to disturb him, not talking to anyone, and not venting his troubles to others.

Nan Ruo seemed to understand how his psychological problems arose, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried. Even people who have never studied psychology know that lack of counseling will make the condition worse, but as he is not qualified to ask questions, let alone help How does he know psychology to make a reasonable explanation.

So worried, the boat docked at Laba evening, the prince disembarked first, and told them to go back to the city first, and he was going to the imperial mausoleum.

Nan Ruo was observing his expression. Seeing that he was still stable, she felt a little relieved. Suddenly, Fu Zhuo stuffed something into his hand and pushed him forward without saying a word: "Hurry up, Your Highness forgot to wear your hat. Take it quickly!"

Nan Ruo was caught off guard and staggered a few steps forward, turned around and glanced at everyone looking at him, so he could only bite the bullet and stepped forward: "Your Highness."

The prince was about to get on the horse, when he heard the words, he turned his head, glanced at the hat in his hand, and stood there waiting for him to come.

Nan Ruo stepped forward and handed over the hat, and said softly: "It's cold at night, Your Highness, be careful of catching a cold."

He really wanted to say a few words of comfort, but his rationality knew that this was not what he should say, and he couldn't even show it in his eyes. It was not the prince's turn to pity and comfort him.

But the prince seemed to understand his concerns, and when he took the hat, he lightly tapped his wrist twice, silently speaking.

"Stay away for now when we go back."

He left this sentence, then waved his hand impatiently at him, stepped on the horseback and whipped away with a cold expression.

When Nan Ruo turned his head, Tan Ying and Chang Qing and Eunuch Chang looked over, embarrassment and bewilderment immediately appeared on their faces.

It was already late in the city, except for Tan Ying and Chang Qing who needed to go to the palace to report immediately, the others went home first.

Nan Ruo said goodbye to Fu Zhuo and Pei Dinggao, and returned to Nangong Mansion.

On the fourth day of the lunar new year, they rushed back to the house to report the news, and Nan Ruo was recruited by Nangong Yunlin as soon as he entered the door to ask the ins and outs.

He said everything except what he couldn't say, including the life-and-death friendship with Fu Zhuopei Dinggao, which everyone knew.

"That's good." Nangong Yunlin thought for a while, "It's better to make friends than to get rid of them. It's also a good thing to be friends with Fu Zhuo. The Fu family..."

He pointed out: "Your Majesty has always been tolerant towards the Fu family, no matter in the future..." He was confused for a while, with a face that you understand, "The Fu family will always be here."

Nan Ruo nodded, the emperor favored his mother's family, and Empress Dowager Fu had a close relationship with Emperor Yongzhao's mother and son. In the past, when the two were still down and out, the Fu family had a lot of support. With Emperor Yongzhao's character, once he turned around, he would definitely give more glory to show his disrespect. Forget the old.

In the future, even if King Rong is in power, he will be polite to the Fu family, especially Empress Zheng is estranged from the Zheng family. The relationship between King Rong and the Zheng family is not as close as that of the Fu family. Poor.

In the past, Empress Fu treated Empress Zheng well, not to mention that there was Fu Guojiu in there, so Empress Zheng would not treat the Fu family well.

If the crown prince is in charge, it would be even better. The Fu family is also the family of the prince's mother. As long as the Fu family does not commit suicide, it will always be stable.

No wonder everyone is vying to send their daughters to the palace, as long as they invest in the next emperor, several generations of wealth will not be a problem.

Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered the matter of Zhen Cai, and almost forgot that the crown princess hadn't been selected yet.

I couldn't help asking out of curiosity.

Nangong Yunlin gave him a definite answer this time: "I can't choose."

Nan Ruo was surprised, the crown prince was already nineteen, even if he wanted to delay until twenty and the crown, at least he had to make a choice first, even if it took two years to get married, how could he not be chosen?

Nangong Yunlin shook his head: "Actually, the Holy Majesty didn't want to choose the crown princess at all. I only realized it in the past few days. The Holy Majesty..." He couldn't tell what expression he had, "I won't tell you yet, you can figure it out for yourself."

Nan Ruo stopped asking, and planned to go back and ask what happened in the capital these days in the first day of junior high school.

Since he just came back, Nangong Yunlin told him to rest after asking what he wanted to know, and Nan Ruo was really tired, so he drank two mouthfuls of Laba porridge and went back to sleep.

After a good night's sleep, I woke up the next day and went to the palace first.

Unexpectedly, before arriving at Zichen Palace, he heard the news: the prince is ill.

It is said that the prince knelt in front of Empress Fu's tomb for half the night last night, was frozen and fainted, and was carried back.

Nan Ruo was a little uncertain for a moment whether it was true or not, it was not the news, but the fact that the prince was frozen and fainted, was he really guilty of missing the date of death to show his filial piety, or was there some other meaning?Judging from the fact that the crown prince was able to plant a large field of flowers for Empress Fu himself, he had a deep affection for Empress Fu, and it made sense that he would kneel half the night with guilt, but he felt that the crown prince would not be purely for guilt.

When he arrived at the Zichen Palace, he reported to Emperor Yongzhao what he had learned from the trip. Thanks to the prince, he asked him to write a small composition in advance, so he was confident.

Emperor Yongzhao nodded repeatedly, and praised: "That's right, sure enough, the man should be let out to learn more. Brother Gu has improved a lot this trip, and he has become a little more bloody, good!"

Nan Ruo was reminded of the memory of the knife, and the initial discomfort was gone, and he was so calm that even he himself was surprised by it.

Sure enough, I don't necessarily know myself. Only when I really meet and experience can I know what kind of person I am.

Nan Ruo already felt that the bottom line was breaking through little by little, and the three views shaped by the rule of law society in the previous life collapsed—in the previous life, he would never kill anyone!

He can clearly perceive that he is changing, and he can't even say whether this change is good or bad. In his previous life, he was already enough to be called a bad person, to be precise, a criminal, but here, what he did was right. , do not need to bear any legal responsibility.

Nan Ruo didn't regret that knife, he would still do it again, it was his instinct to survive, he just sighed with emotion, sighed with emotion for himself who used to obey the rules when crossing the road.

His trembling afterwards was ultimately due to the collision of two different cognitions.

At that moment, he realized very clearly that the modern age has become a real bubble, and the present is the reality.

Emperor Yongzhao didn't intend to have a long talk with him, and let him go after boasting.

Nan Ruo hesitated.

"What? Is there anything else to say?" Emperor Yongzhao asked.

Nan Ruo thought about it and said: "When I came here, I heard that the prince fainted. After all, I have been reading with the East Palace. Although the prince is not close to the minister, but... thinking about going to visit..."

He looked up, with a look of confusion on whether he should go or not.

When mentioning the crown prince, the smile on Emperor Yongzhao's face faded, and he said: "The crown prince is seriously ill, so he should take rest. I have ordered the East Palace to be closed temporarily, so that he can recover from his illness in peace. After a few days, the crown prince will recover from his illness." It’s not too late to go.”

Nan Ruo's heart skipped a beat, closing the East Palace?Father and son quarrel so fiercely?

With a relieved expression on his face: "Yes, I listen to Your Majesty."

After leaving the Zichen Palace, he was about to leave when he suddenly saw a figure bouncing up and down behind the royal platform in the distance.

"Brother Gu, this way!"

It's Xia Houchun.

Nan Ruo unconsciously showed a smile, and stepped forward quickly: "I was going to find you, I brought you many good things from Jiangnan..."

The voice faded away, and he saw King Rong poking his head out from behind Xia Houchun.

"You are..."

Can't help frowning.

"Don't yell, don't yell!" King Rong nodded his lips anxiously, "I ran out secretly, so I can't be seen."

Xia Houchun was very helpless: "I came to look for you, and I ran into him as soon as I left the yard, and he insisted on following."

Since King Rong moved to the prince's house, he has tried his best to avoid him, but he was still entangled. I really envy the two cousins ​​who have returned to the fief, and hope that His Majesty will give him a marriage quickly and let him move out.
