The Way of the Consort

On this day, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came from the city again. When he entered the gate of Zhuangzi, he deliberately asked everyone to turn off the lights. .

He quickened his pace and hurried to the heights and depths.

When he appeared in Ji Zhao's yard, Ji Zhao, who was standing on the porch, stared wide-eyed, and said in surprise, "Why didn't I see you! I've been staring at you!" He took a closer look, and saw the person behind Zong Zhen No one had a lamp.

He suddenly realized, pointing at those people: "You didn't light the lamp!" He pouted again, "How could you do this..."

Zong Zhen walked up the stairs with a smile, unfolded the cloak to wrap his arms around him and walked straight in, wondering if he was afraid that you would come out to blow the air again.

But Ji Zhao didn't pay much attention to this matter, he simply grabbed Zong Zhen's hand with his backhand, and pulled him inside: "Come and see!"

On the table, a little snowman in sable fur appeared in Zong Zhen's eyes indifferently. Ji Zhao laughed "haha" and said, "Is it exactly the same as you? Look at this mouth, which forms a horizontal line!"

Zong Zhen also had to admit that there was indeed some resemblance, his mouth unconsciously pursed into a line.

Ji Zhao laughed out loud, and said again: "I want to add me too! I want to stand with you!"

"Can……"

"I want to stack it myself!" Ji Zhao asked again.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince refused mercilessly: "No, the snow is too cold."

Ji Zhao pursed his lips and made a pitiful look, Zong Zhen gave in a step: "Okay, I'll pile it up, can you help me?"

Ji Zhao laughed again: "Yes!"

Zong Zhen helplessly reached out and rubbed his head.

So after they had dinner, Baoqing and the others prepared the snow for them.

Ji Zhao still had injuries to his legs and could only sit, so they brought a few wooden boxes, which were full of snow-white snow, dug from plum trees, with a faint fragrance.Sitting at the table, Ji Zhao and Zong Zhen used the snow to make another "Little Ji Zhao".

His Royal Highness was in charge of rolling a big snowball and a small snowball, one for the body and the other for the small head, and then put the snowballs together, and made the nose and hair according to Ji Zhao's request.

Ji Zhao was in charge of holding a box of gems, and first picked out two beautiful purple gems to be little Ji Zhao's eyes.

Zong Zhen was curious: "Why purple?"

"Purple is beautiful, I want to use purple eyes!"

"Okay, purple eyes, purple eyes." Zong Zhen didn't bother him, and watched him carve a smiling face with a carving knife, and the little snowman came to life immediately. Ji Zhao then used the small piece of white fox fur that he had prepared in advance, The maid also helped him use the rags embroidered with cranes that were left over from making clothes to trim the fringe, so even the little snowman had a delicate little cape to wear.

Ji Zhao clapped his hands: "Okay!"

"Are your hands cold?" Zong Zhen looked at his hands worriedly.

Ji Zhaotan made a move: "Look, it's not cold at all!"

Zong Zhen stretched out his hand to touch it, and felt relieved after confirming that his hand was warm.

After the "Little Ji Zhao" was piled up, before Ji Zhao could say anything, Zong Zhen took the initiative to bring "Little Zong Zhen" and put the two little snowmen on the same wooden board.Ji Zhao stretched out his hand quickly, and pushed again, bringing the two little snowmen closer. He pinched a little snow and filled the gap between the palms of the two little snowmen, like two little snowmen. The villain is indeed holding hands.

Zong Zhen sighed inwardly, and was about to ask if his hands were cold.

Ji Zhao came directly with his hands raised, stuffed them into his arms, raised his head and smiled at him: "This way it won't be cold!"

Ji Zhao's hands were icy cold, but His Royal Highness's heart suddenly became extraordinarily warm. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Ji Zhao's nose, and Ji Zhao smiled "hehe".

Just like that, the two little snowmen were placed in Ji Zhao's room hand in hand.

When Zongzhen went to "work" in the palace, Ji Zhao, who was recuperating in the villa, often stared at the two little snowmen in a daze. Although he was still sick and his body was in pain, he was really extremely happy.For some reason, Ji Zhao felt that these days were the happiest time since he came here.

Will there ever be a happier time than now?

He thought, maybe there is, for example, he also lived happily in Liangguo, and he didn't expect to have happier happiness now.

As for why he was so happy and happy, he thought it might be because Zong Zhen would come to accompany him every day, so that he would not be alone or lonely. Zong Zhen was his friend and even his family.

He vaguely wants other identities, but he can't grasp that point, not knowing what else he wants.

As the Chinese New Year is getting closer, Ji Zhao still stays in the villa to recuperate.After discussing with the imperial doctors, Zong Zhen planned to take Ji Zhao back to the city on New Year's Eve. As the crown prince, there were many sacrificial activities in the palace during the first few days of the New Year's Eve, and he had to participate.

He was worried that the bumpy road would be bad for Ji Zhao's health, so he wanted to invite all the Yin family to come to the mountains to accompany Ji Zhao to celebrate the New Year. Ji Zhao would not go back to the city, but simply live in the village, and wait until the spring is warm and the flowers bloom, and then he can go back after heals up completely. The city is also good.As soon as Ji Zhao heard this, he immediately started to drop gold beans, saying that he would go back to celebrate the New Year.

He choked and said, "If you don't come, I won't be able to sleep alone. I dare not sleep. I will have nightmares."

Zong Zhen thought to himself, back to the city, one of us lives in the palace and the other lives outside the palace, and we can't sleep together.

But seeing Ji Zhao crying so sadly, he didn't dare to speak anymore, and immediately wiped Ji Zhao's tears, and thought to himself, he could live with him in the name of staying in the palace to recuperate.

He could feel that Ji Zhao was more frightened this time than He Qiniang was.

He can understand very well, how can a good child not be afraid of falling from such a high mountain?

Later, the imperial doctors said that after ten days, he could walk around a little, so he made up his mind to take Ji Zhao back to the city.

For the rest of the day, Zong Zhen still ran around in the snow and wind inside and outside the city. Neither His Majesty nor the princess found it strange. nice thing.Besides, the father and daughter were also very worried about Ji Zhao, and felt that he had suffered a great crime. With Zong Zhen going to accompany Ji Zhao every day, they could rest assured that Zong Zhen worked harder.

Zong Zhen himself was happy with it.

Three days before the Chinese New Year, another guest came to the villa, brothers and sisters Qin Wen and Qin Wuniang.

Qin Wen looked guilty: "Brother Zhao, I have been studying behind closed doors all day. If I hadn't accompanied my mother and sister to the temple today to offer incense and heard my sister talk about it, I really wouldn't know! I'm late!"

Ji Zhao smiled and said, "It's okay, no wonder you two smell sandalwood."

"How are you? When I heard my sister talk about it, I broke out in a cold sweat."

Ji Zhao looked at Qin Wuniang, who was still so gentle and beautiful. Ji Zhao smiled at her and said, "You see, I am sitting here in good order. It was quite dangerous at that time. Fortunately, His Royal Highness found me, and he found me in time. Only the arm needs to be hung for a few more days, but everything else is fine, and the wounds are healing one by one."

"It's really thanks to His Royal Highness!" Qin Wen breathed a sigh of relief, and Qin Wuniang also said a few words of "Bodhisattva", and Qin Wen asked again, "The Chinese New Year is only a few days away, what are your plans?"

"I'll be returning to the city in a few days, the prince has made arrangements."

"Great, I will definitely go to your house to pay New Year's greetings on New Year's Day!"

"I may not be at home, it depends on the prince's arrangement."

"Is that so..."

The two of them were talking, and Qin Wencheng was immersed in books all day long. He was very knowledgeable and extremely intelligent, but from the perspective of his heart, he was a very honest person, and he didn't notice anything, but Qin Wuniang, who had a delicate mind, paid more attention to Ji Ji. After a few glances, she discovered that the son-in-law has mentioned His Royal Highness in almost every sentence up to now.

The brothers and sisters of the Qin family are easy-going people. As soon as they talked, time passed quickly. The setting sun slanted on the snowy ground. They had to go back, otherwise, if it was dark, going down the mountain would be extremely dangerous.

Ji Zhao personally sent them to the gate of the yard, stood on a high place, and watched the brothers and sisters go away.

When Qin Wuniang got into the carriage, she realized that the pearl headband on her head was missing. It was newly made by her mother for the Chinese New Year.The Qin family is not a wealthy family, and they only buy new jewelry once or twice a year. Qin Wuniang felt very distressed, and took the maid out of the car to look for it herself.

While looking for it, she heard the sound of heavy snow being rolled by the wheels, and heard her brother get out of the car in a hurry. She quickly turned her head and saw the carriage approaching. The carriage was normal, but the accompanying guards... Qin Wen had already left He bowed in front of the carriage and said, "Meet His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Qin Wuniang was still a little dazed, "Get up..." That strange voice came from the carriage.

There was a strong wind on the mountain, and Qin Wuniang shivered, not knowing whether she was frightened or what.

Zong Zhen lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked out, and saw two people with their heads bowed on the snowy ground, Qin Wen didn't look carefully, he stared at the woman who looked like a woman, and frowned unconsciously.

To be honest...he doesn't even know who these two are...

The Qin family's carriage is just an ordinary carriage, Qin Wen lowered his head again, the sky was getting dark, His Royal Highness never remembered those unimportant people, he had no idea that this was his future side concubine!

Zong Zhen got up and walked out of the carriage, Cheng Shen helped him get out of the carriage.

Zong Zhen asked: "Come to see the son-in-law?"

"Yes! Your Highness, I will bring my younger sister to see the son-in-law! We are going to leave now!" Qin Wen was very nervous, and even more worried about his younger sister.

Zong Zhen stared at Qin Wuniang, she looked quite beautiful, Zong Zhen asked again: "What are you looking for in the snow?"

Qin Wuniang's teeth were chattering, she didn't dare to speak, Qin Wen whispered: "If you go back to Your Highness, the younger sister lost her headband, I'm looking for..."

Zong Zhen motioned to Cheng Shen: "Help the girl find..." In fact, he asked Cheng Shen to see what the girl looked like.

Cheng Shen had nothing to say in his heart: Your Highness, you didn't realize that this is your future concubine!

Cheng Shen really took someone to look for it, and found the small headband after finding a place far away. Cheng Shen came back and handed it to Zong Zhen: "Your Highness, I found it!"

"Hmm..." Zong Zhen took it in his hand and walked directly in front of Qin Wuniang.

Qin Wuniang was so frightened that she almost fell into the snow, Zong Zhen handed it to her, Qin Wuniang took the headband from him with trembling hands, Qin Wen was also trembling with fright, afraid that the prince would ask his sister to enter the palace tomorrow .

Knowing that the brothers and sisters of the Qin family stayed at the gate of the villa and didn't leave, and didn't know what happened, Ji Zhao was wrapped up thickly and came over worried. Looking at each other, Ji Zhao was so angry that he hung up high in one breath, covered with anger, looked around, grabbed a handful of snow from the door, and smashed it hard at Zongzhen.

The snowball burst and the white snow scattered.

"Ah!" Qin Wuniang screamed in fright, fell limply to the ground, and cried, "Yes, I was rude, Your Highness, please forgive me..."

She was so frightened that she could not speak, Qin Wen hurried to help her sister up, and also wanted to apologize to the prince quickly.

Zong Zhen looked up, and Ji Zhao stood angrily by the door of the villa, staring at him with round eyes.

After looking at each other, Ji Zhao grabbed another handful of snow and wanted to throw another snowball at him, but His Royal Highness suddenly laughed again. What was he doing just now?What kind of anger did you get?
