My ancient leisure life

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, after Zhao Wenhao went to court for the last day, he brought back news that the third prince had been reprimanded by the emperor.

"If you don't learn countless things, you don't have a heart of benevolence." Zhao Wenhao said with a smile: "All civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty are scared to death, and the third prince is even more scared. The emperor has never said harsh words to him, let alone Saying so harshly denies his words."

"Didn't you say that the emperor loves Concubine Chun and her children very much, with gentle words and kind eyes?" Zhou Yuyi asked puzzled.

"That's right." Xu Nuo asked: "The emperor's words seem to have done some heinous things. It is somewhat inconsistent with what you said about making the third prince the crown prince. Aren't those words denying his qualifications as the crown prince?"

"I don't know." Zhao Wenhao shook his head and said, "I haven't done this before, but today I suddenly asked about the third prince's court affairs. Although the answer was not satisfactory, there is no need to get so angry. This is the first time, quite unexpected."

"If there is a first time, there will be a second time." Xu Nuo said gloatingly: "If he becomes the crown prince, none of us will get any good, and we can only run away from the capital. It is best for the emperor to give the crown prince to other princes. "

He clenched his fists as if to cheer up the emperor, with an expectant expression.Since Zhao Kai told them that his brother Zhao Xuan sent them a message, they must pay attention to safety issues, be careful of the third prince and the others, Xu Nuo wished he could crush the two brothers to death.

It's just a pity that Zhao Xuan just said this simple sentence, no matter how much Zhao Kai asked, he would not say anything, making promises that they were always uncertain, not only personal safety, but also the safety of the guild hall.

Cheng Ge went into the mountain the same day he heard the news, and brought over 20 wild wolves who were well-versed in popularity.

Although these wild wolves are not all popular, they are restrained by the wolf king, and they will not attack people easily without orders. Moreover, Cheng Ge communicates with them, and the waiters in the guild hall are uniformly dressed, which is easy for them to identify.

Er Dan and the others are their own people, with Cheng Ge and Xu Nuo, they will not be afraid, let alone leak the news.

As for the locals in Kyoto, they don't live in the backyard of the guild hall, they all live at home, and they are not allowed to come in the backyard, and they are promised to prepare a temporary resting place for them.

"Never mind those things." Seeing that he was distracted again, Cheng Ge patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's better to go shopping with Yu Yi and the others first, and tomorrow they will return to Jing'an Town for the New Year."

"Okay." Xu Nuo is not a person who is too entangled, and laughed when he heard this: "When you come back on the fifth day of the new year, we will go back to Jing'an Town to hide and be quiet. Kyoto is bustling, but after staying for a long time, I still want to find a quiet place The place is clean for a few days."

"Yeah." Zhou Yuyi said with a smile, "Didn't you see that my eldest brother and the others would rather stay in the town than come to the capital for the New Year? It's just that there are a lot of troubles here, and they can live a leisurely life there."

Thinking that I will soon be able to go to that paradise-like place in the mountains and forests, I promise that I will instantly feel refreshed.Since Erdan and the others came, he has been busy with the things in the guild hall and never went there again.

Only Cheng Ge would find time to go there from time to time. According to him, the small green vegetables he planted would be ready to eat in a few days, and some other vegetables could be eaten in advance before others started planting them after Chinese New Year.

Xu Nuo had to admire Cheng Ge's ability, but in this short period of one month, the area near the lake had been filled with grain for him, but he said casually that he used it as a planting base.

While thinking about these things, he walked out with Cheng Ge and Zhou Yuyi, and was interrupted by a surprise as soon as he reached the entrance of the hall.

"Second cousin." The eldest cousin of the Wang family looked at them in surprise, walked over quickly and said, "Where did you brothers and sisters go? A few days ago, someone from the Zhou Mansion came to look for you. What is going on? What’s the matter, haven’t you been in the Zhou Mansion all this time?”

"No." Zhou Yuyi smiled wryly and said, "We have been living outside, and we have been to the Zhou mansion a few times, and we have only met uncle and aunt, and we were so busy that we didn't even say a few words, so we never went again disturb."

"You." Cousin Wang looked annoyed, "Why don't you tell me? Your elder brother keeps saying that you are fine."

"We're really good." Zhou Yuyi said, "It's very comfortable outside, and my elder brother can concentrate on studying, so there's nothing to worry about."

"Sigh." Cousin Wang sighed, "We can't help too much, but if there is anything to do with your grandfather, you can talk to your grandfather."

"That's right." He patted his head again and said, "Your grandfather and his party came to the capital, and there is no one in Yunzhou."

"Ah?" Zhou Yuyi was startled, "Why are they all here? What are they doing?"

"I don't know." Cousin Wang shook his head and said: "However, your grandfather has already met your grandfather, please ask him to help take care of you, if possible, I hope you can be separated from the Xu family."

"As for your aunt, my grandfather also met him personally, and told her not to care about your business anymore." Cousin Wang said with a helpless smile, "Being blinded by your father and not even caring about your relatives is enough persistence."

There was some irony in his words, but his attitude towards Zhou Yuyi was very good, "We've been looking for you all this time, why didn't your elder brother go to the academy for anything, the master said he would go there after he asked for leave."

"It's nothing serious, I'm just studying at home, and I can take care of my younger sisters." Zhou Yuyi picked out some things that could be said, and told him that Zhou Yuxuan was in Jing'an Town with his two younger sisters.

"Yeah." Cousin Wang nodded and said, "I also heard that there is also a guild in Kyoto. I don't know if it has something to do with you. I wanted to try my luck and come here to ask you news."

Zhou Yuyi blinked, thought for a moment and asked: "Eldest cousin, you said before that you are a classmate of the prince of the Duke's Mansion, and you follow behind the third prince."

"No way." Cousin Wang said with a wry smile: "I was a classmate with Xiao Shizi for a while, and he also introduced me to the third prince, but later the emperor revealed that he intended to make him the prince, and those of us stopped at nothing. How can people still see it. This time I came back to see their attitude, I have not been with them for a long time, even Xiao Shizi has not seen him for a long time."

"Oh." Zhou Yuyi nodded. If his cousin still had contacts with them, he wouldn't be ignorant of their news. This doubt was explained, and he felt relieved.

"Big cousin, don't worry about us. Please tell grandpa when you get back. We will come to visit you in a few days to pay New Year's greetings." Zhou Yuyi said a few words to him before leaving hastily.

"What's the matter with you?" Xu Nuo saw that Zhou Yuyi was also absent-minded when he was shopping, and Zhao Wenhao was on the sidelines, knowing that he might be worried about Zhou's family affairs, so he asked.

"Grandpa and the others are here!" Zhou Yuyi sighed, "Mrs. Xu and my aunt are quite a few."

"What are you afraid of?" promised to cheer him up, "You forgot that brother Zhao is a fourth-rank official, equal to your uncle. Besides, Zhao Kai came the day before yesterday to say that Zhenxing Hou said that if there is anything, he can go to the Hou's mansion at any time. Do your best."

"You just don't believe this, but looking at the gifts Zhao Kai sent, it can't be said that his father is not sincere at all." Xu Nuo smiled, patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "If it is something else, it may not work. You should not take it seriously, what are you worried about?"

"Yes." Zhao Wenhao came over and looked at Zhou Yuyi's uneasy face and said, "Although I am not welcome by all officials, no one dares to touch me easily."

"Besides, have you forgotten what I told you about the eunuch who gave me those properties? He helped me a little when I was a child. He can remember it for so many years. If something really happened to me, would he turn a blind eye?"

"But, you have forgotten who he is, and you haven't found it after searching for so long. If it weren't for the jade pendant you gave him back then, you wouldn't be able to remember it."

Zhou Yuyi drooped his head and complained in a low voice: "You shouldn't have let the person who brought you the things go, but luckily you can't find anyone now."

Zhao Wenhao smiled helplessly, "I don't know what's going on! He said that someone dragged him to deliver something to me. I'll know it when I read it. Before I opened the thing, I turned around and left. What can I do? "

He is also very helpless, okay!He had long forgotten about this incident when he was a child, if it wasn't for this incident, he would not have known that there were still people who treated him as a benefactor and wanted to repay him.

It's just a pity that I haven't seen him for many years, and he even forgot his appearance. He has been inquiring quietly these days, but there is no news at all. He can't even thank him in person or return the money.

But he knew that if such a grateful person knew that he was in trouble, he would not be indifferent, at least he would send him a message.

Zhao Wenhao didn't expect that what he thought in his heart would come true. After they went back after shopping for new year's goods, they received news about the third prince's nasty behavior and told them to be careful.

But it is a pity that the person who sent the letter had already left, and he missed it again.Even so, it also made him understand that that person was really paying attention to him all the time, otherwise how could such news be detected, and he knew his whereabouts like the back of his hand.

When promising them to be angry with the third prince and their shameless actions, after knowing what happened in the court, the concubine Chun in the palace was puzzled, and hurried to the imperial study with her two sons.

She originally wanted to show her weakness and beg for forgiveness, thinking that the emperor would love her as usual, if she could know what happened, or what the emperor was thinking would be the best.

If you can't, you have to please the emperor, but you can't lose your favor.The queen has been staring at her all the time, how could she not have noticed, if it wasn't for the emperor's obvious attitude, how could their mother and son live a happy life, let alone the crown prince.

As for her other concubines and the empress' sons, they are not in her eyes. Only the empress needs to be scrupled. In the case of a close match, she has a prince who has grown up and is favored by the emperor. fought her.

"Your Majesty." The little eunuch rushed in to report: "Chunfei and the two princes are asking to see you."

Emperor Daxing paused his hands, glanced at the prince on the side, thought for a moment and said: "Zhen, I'm busy with business, so I don't see you."

The little eunuch was taken aback, this had never happened before.The emperor didn't see Concubine Chun, the sky was about to collapse, but thinking of the emperor's scolding of the third prince in the hall today.

He silently exited the imperial study, and shook his head at Concubine Chun and the others outside, he didn't even have the courage to say that the emperor was gone, for fear of offending the three people who are so fond of the sixth palace.

"Heck..." Concubine Chun's heart became more and more uneasy, what made the emperor like this, if they can't get the joy of the past, how will the three of them, mother and son, see people in the future.

Let other people guess, not to mention the crown prince, they may not be able to escape even the troubles in the palace. If the empress takes advantage of this situation again, the situation will become more serious.

She gritted her teeth cruelly, knelt down on the ground with a "plop", and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this concubine is guilty, and I brought the third and fifth princes to kneel down and beg for punishment. I also ask the emperor to appease your anger, and don't get angry."

"Yeah..." the emperor couldn't help looking up when he heard Concubine Chun's words, but he said to the prince, "Zhen, I didn't pay attention before, but now that I think about it, since when did you hate Concubine Chun?"

"Marquis Zhenxing is a righteous man. If you report the matter of the third prince, you should also hate the third prince. Why do you still bring concubine Chun with you?" The emperor's eyes fell on the prince, "If it is because of Zhao Wenhao, it is also There have been some unpleasant things recently. But I thought about it carefully, you didn’t want to see Concubine Chun before, but you’re right.”

"I don't dare." The prince also fell to his knees with a "plop", "How dare this old slave, please ask the emperor to investigate clearly."

Although Wang Gonggong said so, his expression was not afraid.He is not afraid of death, if the emperor really ordered him to die, it would be a relief.But if others want to take this life easily, it depends on whether he agrees or not.

He doesn't cast a net in the palace to make friends, and he doesn't have the heart to fight for power and profit, but he has a good heart, just like Zhao Wenhao, and he helps people a lot.

If someone wants to touch him, those who have a conscience will naturally move out, and there is no need for him to call, let alone those kind of kindness that he doesn't care about.

"Okay!" The emperor was helpless, knowing his character too well. If he didn't want to say it, he wouldn't say it even if he was killed. "Tell Concubine Chun, if you know that you are guilty, go back to the palace to reflect. If you insist on kneeling, then go to the Queen Mother's Palace." kneel."
