Bastard's Counterattack [Rebirth]

"Huh!" Emperor Chengtian snorted heavily, suppressing his anger and said: "What is Lao Qi doing again? Is that how he visits his brothers? He never lets me worry!" Then he walked quickly towards the house.

"Father, calm down." Although Zhao Zeyong didn't know exactly what happened, but based on his experience from childhood to adulthood, he could guess that the seventh and eighth younger brothers had another quarrel.

Emperor Chengtian severely stopped the guards from kowtowing and saluting with hand gestures, and brought the third son of the emperor close to the east room.

At this time, Zhao Zening happened to be sitting on the kang in his free time, and there were several people standing in the corner: the personal guard on duty, Zhuo Kai, the leader of the guard, and the affected Chi Yu——Rong Youtang, who came to deliver the porridge. food box.

Only Zhuo Kai knelt in front of the Seventh Prince Zhao Zewu.He was terrified and anxious, and pleaded with his face up: "Master Wu, it's all a matter of a humble job, and it should be done! Please calm down—"

"Get up!" Zhao Zewu ordered angrily, lowered his head and glared at the two stunned people, and reprimanded: "I said you are stupid? The old man only broke his left hand, not all of his hands, so you need to serve and wash his feet? The food is for the kitchen What, you need to go to the city early in the morning to buy live chickens and bird's nests in the wind and snow? It's so cold that your paws are cracked, ouch~" Zhao Zewu bent down and picked up Zhuo Kai's hands, the backs of which were covered with chapped blood. I shivered in pain.

"Get up! Why are you kneeling?" Zhao Zewu tugged hard.

But Zhuo Kai looked at the eighth prince quietly, knelt down and did not dare to get up, and only repeatedly explained: "Master Wu, it is really not the order of the eighth prince, it is all voluntary by the humble position, there is an order from the top, order to take good care of the eighth prince, the humble position dare not Not wholeheartedly—"

"Hey, why didn't I see how dedicated you are to me? Master Wu is still hungry, so hurry up and go to the city to buy live chicken and bird's nest. I want to eat chicken and bird's nest porridge too!" Wu's bewildered man was panting, with one hand on his hip and his eyes wide open.

Zhuo Kai was so embarrassed that he couldn't get any more embarrassed, his face turned red, red turned white, and white turned livid, he couldn't answer, and finally begged: "Your Highness, I'm working in a lowly position, please don't say it!" He said emphatically kowtow.

Zhao Zewu almost fell backward in anger, hating the iron but helpless look.

——The way the Seventh Prince did this is for maintenance, but how should Mr. Zhuo behave in the future?Do you still want to walk in Beiying?Rong Youtang lowered his head and frowned, held his breath, and secretly observed the Eighth Prince's reaction.

"Seventh brother, calm down." Zhao Zening said slowly, holding the splint of his left hand with his right hand, and explained apologetically, "I really didn't ask Xiao Zhuo to do those things, it was all because of his dedication to his errands, which moved me very much. I will definitely tell third brother, Let the third brother reward him."

Zhao Zewu suddenly turned his head, and yelled violently: "Shut up! Xiao Zhuo was also called by you? He is the son of the right deputy commander of the imperial army, not a servant who washes his feet and eats! What are you? You are also worthy of ordering people? Your mother— —”

Zhao Zening's complexion changed suddenly, and his eyes were gloomy and cold.

Rong Youtang was also startled: If you quarrel, you can quarrel, and it's too much to involve the other party's biological mother!

"Shut up!" Zhao Zeyong, who was outside, heard that the situation was not good, and immediately interrupted him sharply. He didn't care to ask Emperor Chengtian for instructions, and opened the curtain to go in, and reprimanded Zhao Zewu: "Old Seven, what are you doing? The eighth brother is injured. How decent are you still making such noise!" Zhao Zeyong raised his foot and lightly kicked the seventh brother's knees, making him kneel down towards the door, and at the same time quickly cast his eyes at Rong Youtang, and glanced towards the door from the corner of his eye.

Is His Majesty coming?How much did he hear?

Rong Youtang understood, and immediately stood up straight holding the food box, lowered his eyebrows and stood obediently.

Immediately after

"Father, Father Emperor?" Zhao Zewu was kicked down to the ground for no reason, and was about to question his elder brother, but at this moment he was dumbfounded, staring at Emperor Chengtian who came suddenly.

"Father! Are you here to see me?" Zhao Zening's eyes lit up on the kang, and he was very happy, and then quickly turned red, and hurriedly wanted to get off the kang. Emperor Chengtian hurried over to hold it down, and said kindly: "Lie down Didn't come to see you, did he come to see Lao Qi?" He said, squinting at Zhao Zewu with extreme dissatisfaction.

Rong Youtang and the others had already kneeled respectfully. Fortunately, he was still wearing the bodyguard uniform he borrowed last night, and he was inconspicuous among the crowd with his head down, except that he was holding a food box.

"Seventh brother came to visit, and my father also came, but I didn't do anything for Beiying, and I didn't help third brother. On the contrary, because I was injured, third brother had to pay extra attention to take care of me." Zhao Zening felt guilty. He touched the splint and sighed lightly: "I'm really useless."

"Don't worry, learn slowly, everyone only understands after experience." Emperor Chengtian comforted with Yan Yuese, without even looking at Zhao Zewu.

Zhao Zening said in embarrassment: "Father and third brother are so understanding, I feel even more ashamed."

Emperor Chengtian patted the back of Zhao Zening's hand lovingly.

The ugliness cannot be made public.

Even if Emperor Chengtian wanted to get angry again, he had to endure it for now, he coldly ordered Zhao Zewu: "You go back to the palace and wait for me, I have something to say later!"

"Father—" Zhao Zewu looked at his brother subconsciously with a mournful face.

Zhao Zeyong seemed to walk a few steps casually, blocking Rong Youtang behind.He knew his father's character well, so he didn't try to persuade him—the princes were not in harmony, and even fought to the death, no one could settle such a matter.

"Seventh brother, since father has ordered, then you can go back now." Zhao Zeyong urged, and secretly waved his hand to remind: don't contradict face to face, father will take soft and not hard!

"Father, I—" Zhao Zewu took a few steps on his knees, and then he realized that he had brought Zhuo Kai another disaster: he was a guard in the inner court before, and it was because I was dismissed by the rod, and now he came to the northern camp with great difficulty , Father, shouldn't he be angry with him again?

Rong Youtang quietly hid in the crowd, and didn't hear any shocking palace secrets, so don't worry about being silenced, even if you are forced to hear it... His Royal Highness King Qing will definitely take care of us!

"Xiao Zhuo?" Emperor Cheng Tian spat out the words through his teeth, squinting his eyes to look at the trembling Zhuo Kai.

"The humble Zhuo Kai kowtows to His Majesty!" Zhuo Kai kowtowed heavily, he was almost desperate, and was extremely afraid that he would be convicted and punished because of his ambiguity with the Seventh Prince - last time in the case of the Qi Yuan Temple, his father ran around day and night, begging for help with his old face, To save my life.Not long after entering Beiying, trouble started again!What face do I have to go home?

Emperor Chengtian's eyes were cold, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

"You guys step back." Zhao Zeyong ordered along the way, with a filial look of caring to clear the place for his father's anger.

"Yes." Rong Youtang and others respectfully agreed, and then they left.

Emperor Chengtian acquiesced, and was very satisfied with the sensible and steady of the third son.

However, Zhao Zening looked at Rong Youtang and suddenly asked, "Hey, is that my breakfast?"

"What time is it?" Emperor Chengtian was distracted, and casually questioned: "Why haven't you had breakfast yet! Why don't you bring it up quickly?"

"Yes." Rong Youtang couldn't escape, so he had to come back with a food box.

"Father, I just drank the medicine and I'm hungry now." Zhao Zening explained meekly, and asked with a smile, "Whose craftsmanship? What did you do?"

Rong Youtang said cautiously: "Report to Your Highness: it is the rice porridge made by the villain."

Did you boil it? ?

Zhao Zeyong was stunned. He had never imagined that Rong Youtang could cook, and sending a errand as a cook was not to train the cooking skills of the other party, but just to build a solid resume foundation so that it would not be too eye-catching and to show off his talents as much as possible. , a steady and reasonable rise.Instead of flattering and killing, causing the opponent to fall into Zhuo Kai's difficult situation.

Rong Youtang was holding a red lacquer food box, his sleeves were rolled up, revealing a wrist that was blue from the cold, his fingers were red and swollen from washing rice and cooking porridge.

Only then did Zhao Zeyong understand: No wonder Lao Qi was angry because of Zhuo Kai's crime, it turned out to be such a mood!He secretly made up his mind: it is really not suitable for the eighth younger brother to stay in Beibei to nourish his wounds, and he can't get used to hard life for a while.

Rong Youtang was about to put the food box on the kang table, but Zhao Zeyong took it over halfway, and he backed away.

"Remote villages, poor conditions, only simple food and tea, no matter how hard the military kitchen is, it can't taste like an imperial kitchen." Of course Zhao Zeyong spoke for his own people.He opened the food box, brought out the porridge warmed on the charcoal, put it on the kang table, pushed it over, and said, "Eighth brother, use some."

Emperor Chengtian was not in a daze, he leaned forward to take a few glances, stirred it with a spoon, and said: "There is an injury on the body, the diet should be light, this porridge is fine. Ah Ning, the outside is not as good as inside the palace, but Let you go back to the palace, but you refuse."

As soon as his father's affectionate and loving "A Ning" came out, Zhao Zening couldn't help knocking the porcelain spoon on the rim of the bowl, obviously displeased.

"Don't worry, I won't force you this time!" Emperor Chengtian misunderstood, pretending to be angry and said: "One or two will go out of the palace when they grow up! In a few months, your mansion should hang a plaque."

Zhao Zening suddenly raised his head, his face full of disbelief: "Father?"

Emperor Chengtian smiled happily: "It should have been established for you long ago. I was busy a while ago, but I always remembered in my heart that what is due to you is indispensable."

——Busy a while ago?I am eighteen this year!According to the law, the prince should have left the palace to open the mansion at fifteen, and my mother was born as a maid, without the help of my natal family, and no one to plan for me, and my mother repeatedly refused others to help me, so I still don't have my own mansion, and I have experienced the heat and cold!

hypocritical!The most ruthless emperor's family, irresponsible and the most damned Zhao Xianchang!

Zhao Zening closed his eyes forcefully, almost unable to suppress the violent churning emotions in his heart, and instantly burst out with a strong desire to destroy, just wanting to destroy everything in front of him, especially Zhao Xianchang.

"A Ning?" Zhao Xianchang, also known as Emperor Chengtian, called his son softly.

"Yeah." Zhao Zening squeezed the spoon tightly, the muscles in his cheeks twitched, and without raising his head, he said abruptly, "Brother Seven is right, I am not worthy of bossing around. Third Brother, you can transfer Lord Xiao Zhuo away, it's okay Humiliated by my side."

Rong Youtang subconsciously looked at Zhuo Kai, whose face was as white as paper: Mr. Zhuo has a good temperament, but it is a pity that he was implicated twice, and he has a name in His Majesty's heart. Not to mention his future, even his life is in danger.

"Eighth brother, don't do this." Zhao Zeyong said solemnly: "I arranged Zhuo Kai here because he is suitable, and you also said that he did his best. The old seven is messy, and his father will deal with it. You just Rest in peace."

Emperor Chengtian was expressionless: "Zhuo Zhiyang is really getting better and better, and the sons he taught are better than each other."

The big one has the guts to flirt with Yilin; the small one flirts with pets and hooks up with the bastard old seven!

"Your Majesty, calm down, the crime of humble position deserves death!" Zhuo Kai kowtowed in shock, begging for mercy: "Everything is a humble position and incompetence, which has nothing to do with my father, please punish me!"

"Father, it's none of Xiao Zhuo's business, it's me—" Zhao Zewu panicked and begged for mercy.

Alas, you add fuel to the fire again!Rong Youtang has nothing to say about the Seventh Prince's behavior.

"Shut up!" Emperor Chengtian scolded angrily, "If I didn't mention you, you should be fine?"

Zhao Zeyong frowned, wanting Rong Youtang to leave, but looking at his furious father, it was not easy to bump into the other party's eyes.He thought for a while and reminded solemnly: "Father calm down, the courtiers are waiting outside, waiting for your next order of inspecting the northern camp."

"Hmph!" Emperor Chengtian thought about it again, he was scruples about the occasion, and in the end there was no thunder and anger to send Zhuo Kai down - it was better for the emperor to face.Zhuo Kai had already been dealt with in the case of the Qiyuan Palace. If it was reported that he repeatedly sent down the sons of the courtiers because of the prince who had the habit of Longyang, it would be embarrassing!

Zhao Zening accepted it as soon as he saw it, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Father calm down, I blame my son for being bad. You must not blame Seventh Brother, he has always been like this."

Just because he has always been like this, it means that he has not made any progress in these years!

Emperor Chengtian was so disappointed in the seventh son of the emperor, he didn't even want to take a look, so he waved his hand to drive away: "Lao Qi, take your people down."

Zhao Zewu heaved a sigh of relief, and kowtowed joyfully: "Thank you, father, for your kindness!" He quickly pulled Zhuo Kai up, and quickly retreated, triumphantly ready to claim credit.

Emperor Chengtian shook his head and sighed wearily.

Whatever you like, I will destroy it all!Zhao Zening watched the dejected Zhuo Kai leave with satisfaction, stirred the porridge with a spoon, took half a sip, glanced out of the corner of the eye, and boasted in a brisk tone: "Brother Rong is really a safe person beside the third brother, and his cooking skills are also so good, as expected capable!"

Zhao Zeyong's eyebrows twitched, and for the first time in his life, he looked at the eighth brother suspiciously.

The people around the third child?

Emperor Chengtian just got distracted from "Male favorite Zhuo Kai", when he suddenly heard a similar sentence, he felt very uncomfortable, and was about to ask a question, but Zhao Zeyong spoke first, as if he had no choice but to say: "Xiao Jiu insists on asking, it is necessary Follow him."

"Xiao Jiuer?" Emperor Chengtian couldn't help but soften his expression, and asked, "Are you from Xiao Jiu?"

When the emperor asked a question, Rong Youtang had no choice but to step forward. He understood King Qing's meaning very well, and tacitly replied, "Return to Your Majesty: His Highness Ninth always misses his elder brother, and often sends villains to greet him on his behalf."

Ninth Highness, I'm sorry, I'll let you stand in the way...

"It's nothing more than asking Erchen to return to the mansion." Zhao Zeyong casually pierced it, and said to his father with a headache: "How can Erchen have time to play chess with him every day? This person is really dedicated to his job, and he understands things well, but His chess skills are average, slightly inferior to Xiaojiu's."

Emperor Chengtian squinted his eyes and looked at Rong Youtang carefully. Although he was dissatisfied with his overly gorgeous appearance, he was also satisfied with the rigorous demeanor of the other party who was not flattering and frivolous. He asked dignifiedly: "Brother Rong? Time. Did you give that set of twelve zodiac woodcarvings? You also told Xiao Jiu about "Zuo Shi Chun Qiu"?"

Rong Youtang bit the bullet and explained: "It's just picking some anecdotes to amuse His Highness the Ninth Prince."

"You dare to lecture when you are still young!" Emperor Chengtian feigned anger, but there was a smile in his eyes, and he taught with a straight face: "Although you are a playmate, you can't indulge Xiaojiu to play all day long. Be careful that I will confiscate the slingshot and wooden dolls! You don't know much about the book, but it's better than playing around, so you must guide Xiao Jiu to learn it well!"

Rong Youtang agreed: "Yes."

"In addition," Emperor Chengtian dispelled most of his suspicions, and then ordered: "Go back and tell Xiaojiu, let him be obedient, so that he can heal his wounds, and don't always send people to Beiying to disturb him. Let him play chess with King Rui."

Rong Youtang was cautious in his words and deeds, bowed his head in response, and didn't say a word.

Zhao Zening secretly hates it!He got injured on purpose, mainly to involve the Han family, secondly to ruin Zhuo Kai, disgusting Zhao Zewu, and once again to win his father's sympathy and attention. Make the third brother fascinated!The third brother just warned me to look at me, but he actually stared at me!

"Don't be so nervous." Emperor Chengtian became more relaxed, beat Rong Youtang and said: "If you work hard, you will be rewarded, otherwise you will be punished severely! Go down."

"Yes." There was no danger, Rong Youtang retreated completely, accompanying the king like a tiger, not daring to show the slightest familiarity and casualness.

Only father and son were left in the house.

"Eighth Brother, doesn't this porridge not suit your appetite?" Zhao Zeyong asked with a frown, and said earnestly: "Beiying is under construction, and houses are being demolished outside, dusty and noisy all day long, you—"

"I'm not going back to the palace!" Zhao Zening suddenly raised his head, revealing his true feelings and extreme resistance to the palace.

Emperor Chengtian inspected a small half circle just now, with a layer of dust floating from head to toe, he was deeply dissatisfied with the environment, and directly ordered: "Don't lose your temper, Yong'er is right, it's not appropriate to recuperate here, and it's inconvenient for basic necessities of life. Don't come back The palace is also fine, go to Prince Qing’s mansion, and be with Xiaojiu Laosi. Now pack up and go back to the city with me later!"

"Father—"

Emperor Chengtian lowered his face and looked at him with dignity: "Go back to the palace or Prince Qing's mansion, you choose."

After a long while, Zhao Zening said dejectedly, "Prince Qing's Mansion."

"Hmm." Emperor Chengtian got up happily, and left with the third son, staying for about two quarters of an hour.

After a while, only Zhao Zening was left alone in the east room. The porridge was placed on the kang table. He stirred it with a spoon, more and more vigorously, and finally overturned the porridge bowl with a wave of his hand, and it fell to the ground with a bang, and shattered.

"Come on!" Zhao Zening shouted.

-

The mighty Luanjia disappeared in the snow

Hahaha, finally sending off His Majesty and the moody God of Plague!

Rong Youtang was in a good mood, and walked briskly, carrying the food box back to the kitchen, it was not surprising that he smashed the bowl and spoon.

But when he passed by the secluded place of the evacuated village, he heard a violent quarrel: "Please don't entangle me again!" Zhuo Kai knelt down and couldn't stand up. The man would not flick his tears, but now he begged with tears.

"Are you blaming me?!" Zhao Zewu's tone was hurt.

"Don't dare." Zhuo Kai shook his head in a trance, and said with a sad smile: "I have long been notorious, but my father has worked so hard for half his life as an official, but when he is old, he has no face because of my unfilial son. Raise your hand, let me go!"

Zhao Zewu asked angrily: "Did you always feel that I am pestering you? You look down on me? That's right, I am more notorious than you! I am an ignorant idiot who hangs around restaurants day and night, shameless and shameless. You can't move your lower body—but I have never regarded you as a young lady, and I haven't succeeded yet, so why do you treat me so badly?"

Zhuo Kai kept kowtowing: "Please don't pester me anymore!"

"You—" Zhao Zewu raised his foot to kick!

Rong Youtang opened his eyes wide, and involuntarily leaned forward——

But Zhao Zewu turned around temporarily, kicked a pile of gravel away, and spat viciously: "Bah!"

"You look down on me, I know that you look down on me!" Zhao Zewu was furious, panting like a bull, like a cockfighting cock, but he was unwilling to beat and scold him, and said through gritted teeth: "I didn't know that something would happen in the Qiyuan Palace last time. If I had known earlier, I would definitely not have gone to you! You were beaten and dismissed, and I was so anxious that I begged my father for mercy, and I knelt for a long time before and after a few days! You wanted to enter the northern camp, and I went to beg for mercy—”

Zhuo Kai couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly raised his head: "It's because you are always pestering me, that I became like this! I used to be a good guard, but you ruined me, and my father finally arranged me to enter the northern camp, and I was ruined by you again." Yes! Seventh Highness, please do me a favor and raise your hand, I really don't like men!"

"Okay, okay, okay. I knew that you disliked me for being incompetent and unable to protect others." Zhao Zewu was so angry that his eyes turned black, he staggered two steps, and shouted indiscriminately: "Xiao, Zhuo Kai! Remember what you said today , if I pester you again, I will not be a human, but a pig! I will be a dog! Pigs and dogs are worse than dogs!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Zewu ran wildly, accidentally tripped over piled bricks and stones, got up and continued to run, and disappeared quickly.

Unintentionally bumping into each other, Rong Youtang was extremely embarrassed, turned his head to look at the road, turned around bit by bit, wanted to leave quietly, and prepared to rot the matter in his heart.But as soon as he lifted his foot and took a step, he heard Zhuo Kai say: "Come out."

who?me?Rong Youtang remained motionless.

"Brother Rong, your hair cream is the fragrance of Ganan mixed with sweet pine, which is very unique, and the inner court guards have been specially trained."

Rong Youtang had no choice but to show up, held up the food box immediately, and explained carefully: "I wanted to go to the kitchen, and I didn't mean to snoop."

"I knew it as soon as you came, and he didn't notice anything." Zhuo Kai smiled wryly, and heaved a sigh of relief, kneeling on the uneven broken bricks for too long, it was difficult for him to get up.

Rong Youtang hurriedly helped her up.

"Thank you." Zhuo Kai was very sad: "Fortunately, you didn't laugh at me."

"Mr. Zhuo, I swear: just now, I will not reveal a word of it to the outside world. If it is revealed, I will be punished by God!" Rong Youtang solemnly swore.

Zhuo Kai shook his head: "Before you, several people have heard it."

Rong Youtang hesitated to speak, wanted to comfort but didn't know where to start, so he could only say dryly: "Don't worry, His Royal Highness Prince Qing is fair and strict, and employs people without suspicion. He knows what happened, and he will definitely not blame him."

Zhuo Kai's face was ashamed, his cheeks were flushed with muddy ditches, and he said gratefully: "If it wasn't for His Highness's words of help just now, His Majesty might have dealt with me on the spot."

"You're right, naturally he won't just sit idly by." Rong Youtang had a good impression of Xiao Zhuo: Xiao Zhuo didn't have Da Zhuo's dandyism at all!Brothers, there is such a big difference.

Zhuo Kai raised his sleeves, wiped his face vigorously, feeling depressed, his eyes were red and swollen, and said enviously: "His Royal Highness Qing treats you very well. He doesn't show the mountains or dew the water, but always pays attention to him and protects you everywhere. I know, I just said to Qi Your Highness's attitude is very bad, but he really caused me too much trouble, and he still doesn't know it, alas, it made me turn my face in a hurry."
