The Way of the Consort

Ji Zhao has been here for a while, and has gradually adapted to the ancient routine.

This time, he got up early, moved the screen back, and the two had breakfast together after washing up.Ji Zhao's overnight stay last night was purely sudden, and the Princess Mansion didn't have any of his clothes, and people from the Hou Mansion had already sent them over, so he could only wear middle clothes for the time being.

Fu Chen covered his mouth and smiled, and handed him the chopsticks with his own hands: "Fu Chen doesn't know how to laugh at the son-in-law, there's only you and me here, and my maids don't know how to tell."

The maids also smiled kindly, Ji Zhao followed suit, and sat down generously to have breakfast.

After breakfast, the clothes just arrived, Ji Zhao said: "I'm planning to go to the palace. Tomorrow I want to invite the fifth son of Prince Zheng's mansion to play at Zhuangzi for a few days. His Highness the Crown Prince agrees. Will the princess go? "

Fu Chen shook his head: "It's too cold, I'll go with you again when spring begins."

Ji Zhao nodded with a smile. He personally felt that after last night's "dorm room talk", the two got closer and spoke more freely and casually.

"Then I change my clothes and go first?"

Fu Chen nodded with a smile: "Hurry up, son-in-law..."

Ji Zhao smiled, cupped his hands, went to the next room to change, and left.

After they left, the maids were very happy for the two of them. They all thought that even if nothing happened last night, it was true that the relationship between the princess and the son-in-law was better.

Fu Chen didn't bother to explain, she thought it was fine now.

Ji Zhao has not entered the palace for a long time.The last time he entered the palace was during his "bridal honeymoon period". According to the etiquette, he was wearing festive clothes.

Come back today, he can finally wear some clothes he likes.

Maybe it's because he has the same name and the same family as the ancestor. Although he is not as talented as the ancestor, he is similar in some aspects. Inlaid edge.

He was wearing a honey-colored long gown, the cuffs and the hem of the garment were embroidered with red-coloured crane hems, some of his hair was tied up in a bun, and a light golden headband fell between the black hair, and he wore a crane head Hosta.The clothes made him whiter and whiter. As he walked, his face was more dazzling than the light when he walked in the sun. The cranes on the edge of the palace were about to fly out. After entering the palace gate, the little palace ladies retreated to the sides. Many were secretly turning their heads to look at him.

Zong Zhen was about to go out to the shooting range to practice arrows, when he heard that the son-in-law asked to see him.

Zong Zhen was very displeased.

Entering the palace for an interview is also very particular, unless there is an extremely important event, who would come to visit this early in the morning?What's more, it was Ji Zhao who came to pay a visit. Zong Zhen took off the wrench with a sullen face, and said softly, "Please in the main hall..."

Ji Zhao sat and waited this time, and a little eunuch circled around him with a smile, pouring him tea and serving him snacks, very attentive.

Ji Zhaoting was flattered and felt that it was not easy for the little eunuch, so he poured a large handful of silver from his purse and handed it to him.

The little eunuch didn't dare to move until he coughed, and Ji Zhao smiled and told him to go down.

Ji Zhao got up, walked easily outside the bead curtain, looked inside, his face full of anticipation.

After what happened last time, the prince has changed from "scary" to "not so scary" in his heart. His Royal Highness is still very kind-hearted and easy to get along with!And in the past month or so, how much food has he sent to the prince? His Royal Highness has eaten it all. Cannibals have a short mouth, so it's not good to be cruel to him, right?

So Zong Zhen just sat down, looked up, and saw Ji Zhao's sweet smile.

Not only did he smile sweetly, but he was also wearing honey-colored clothes, which were so sweet that Zong Zhen only felt itchy in his throat and coughed a few times.

Ji Zhao was surprised and said, "Your Highness, why are you still coughing?"

Listen, what is this question?

Zong Zhen turned cold and asked bluntly: "What's the matter?"

Ji Zhao didn't rush to answer, but insisted on asking: "Your Highness, is your voice any better?"

Zong Zhen was a little irritable and didn't want to talk to him.

However, Ji Zhao took a few steps forward and asked again, "Your Highness? You have eaten so many pears from me, why hasn't your throat healed yet?"

Ji Zhao's original intention was that he was still worried after eating so many pears!

Hearing it in Zongzhen's ears had another meaning, as if Zongzhen was so gluttonous, Zongzhen was so angry that he coughed again.

He even hoped that Ji Zhao would still have the pretentious appearance of the gentleman in his previous life!

I would rather be disgusted than be pissed off to death!

Zong Zhen coughed more and more, and Ji Zhao became even more worried.

Bao Qing had no choice but to hurriedly ask for their Highness: "My son-in-law, why are you here?"

"Oh..." Ji Zhao then said, "Your Highness, I want to go out of the city tomorrow and invite the five sons of Prince Zheng's Mansion to play for a few days in the Zhuangzi outside the city. It is the Zhuangzi you picked for me. I—"

Zong Zhen interrupted him coldly: "No..."

Ji Zhao choked, did the crown prince say no?

Ji Zhao said again: "Your Highness, I will leave the city for a few days, and I won't go anywhere else. I—"

"Don't go..."

"Why?"

"There was an earthquake in Zizhou, do you still have leisure time to go out of the city?" Zong Zhen's voice suddenly became serious.

"... "

Zong Zhen's voice changed from serious to cold: "How many people died of starvation and freezing, but you still only want to play!"

"... "

if not?What else can he do?He is just a son-in-law... He is willing to fight the disaster, but the palace must first agree to let him go away...

Ji Zhao bowed his head and stopped talking, Zong Zhen was still unhappy, got up and taught a lesson: "Don't always think about playing, go back and honestly stay in the mansion and reflect on it."

"Got it..." Ji Zhao replied listlessly.

"Go back..."

"Oh..." Ji Zhao turned to leave sullenly, "Stop..." Zong Zhen stopped him again.

"Your Highness?" Ji Zhao turned to look at him.

Zong Zhen squinted at his waist, couldn't help getting up and walking down the steps, and took a few steps forward, getting very close to Ji Zhao.

Zong Zhenzai looked carefully several times, and recognized the jade pendant on Ji Zhao's waist, which was indeed his piece.

Both Cheng Shen and Bao Qing bowed deeply, not daring to speak.

"Your Highness, what's the matter?" Ji Zhao asked in bewilderment.

Zong Zhen coughed a few times: "You jade pendant—"

But Ji Zhao hurriedly covered it with his hands in panic, and said nervously, "You can't give this away!"

"Cough cough cough—cough cough—" Zong Zhen coughed violently.

"Your Highness, no matter how bad your cough is, I can't give this to you. This is my favorite thing." Ji Zhao said seriously.

Zong Zhen coughed and his face was flushed, Bao Qing came forward to support him cautiously, not daring to lift his head, Zong Zhen gave them a hard look, turned around and walked back to the steps, and said angrily: "Get lost..."

"..." Ji Zhao was not very happy, what are you doing, why should he get out, the prince should get out!

But who made him the prince?Apart from the emperor, he is the biggest, his immediate boss, and he can't afford to offend him.

Ji Zhao pursed his mouth slightly, and saluted hastily: "Your Highness, I'm leaving, and I'll see you next time."

After speaking, he turned his head and left.

Zong Zhen sat back and was drinking water, halfway through, he was still angry.

How could Ji Zhao be so angry?

Eat a few pears from him and be proud, but his own jade pendant has been snatched away, can't you just look at it a few more times?Could it be that he would snatch his own jade pendant?Who stole whom?

How did his own things become Ji Zhao's favorite things?Is this some kind of ghost story?

Did he have a grudge against Ji Zhao in his previous life? !

Thinking of this, he felt a stalk in his heart.

In his previous life, he had indeed had an enmity with Ji Zhao, a blood feud.

Zong Zhen's mind flashed, and he thought of the 1000 taels of silver again, put down the teacup and said to Cheng Shen: "Take the 1000 taels and give it to the son-in-law."

"Your Highness?" Cheng Shen suspected that he had heard wrong.

Zong Zhen glanced at him, and Cheng Shen quickly rolled away.

Ji Zhao felt that he was unlucky today, and when he went to the palace, he couldn't do what he was supposed to do, and he was full of anger.

However, he also knows how to reflect. Is it because His Royal Highness is not in a good mood?He met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince twice before, although he didn't say much, he felt that he was still very nice.

Ji Zhao thought over and over in his mind, and when he arrived at the gate of the palace, his anger had almost dissipated.

"My son-in-law!" Cheng Shen chased after him at this moment.

"Huh?" Ji Zhao looked back at him, "What?"

Cheng Shen handed over the tray in his hand, lowered his head and said with a bitter face, "This is from His Highness to the son-in-law."

Ji Zhao felt that the prince was apologizing!

Ji Zhao felt relieved, and smiled as he took Chengshen's tray, and even though he was still at the gate of the palace, he uncovered the red silk that covered it, twenty silver ingots.

He was dumbfounded, looked at it for a long time, and asked Cheng Shen in disbelief: "This, is this reward from His Highness?"

"Yes..." Cheng Shen said tremblingly.

Ji Zhao's hands were shaking.

He held his breath hard and tried for a long time before he said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward!"

After finishing speaking, he put the plate in Cheng Shen's hand, turned around and strode out of the palace gate. Cheng Shen hurried to the gate, and Ji Zhao had already climbed into the carriage.Later, Coke came down, took the plate of silver ingots, and said to Cheng Shen in a low voice: "My son-in-law is so angry, did you say that the 1000 taels are just for beggars? I said a few words to Your Highness." climbed into the carriage.

Watching them go away, Cheng Shen wondered what it means to say a few words to their highness, maybe a few words of scolding, and he went back bitterly to report.

Their highness is standing on the shooting range practicing arrows.

After more than a month, His Highness has been able to practice continuously for less than half an hour without pain in the hands, and the feather arrow will no longer fall down.

Seeing him coming, Zong Zhen glanced at him, so he had no choice but to cheer up and step forward.

"To the son-in-law?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

Zongzhen let go of his hand, and shot an arrow "shua", which hit the red heart, and he said: "What does the son-in-law say..."

Cheng Shen smiled and said, "The son-in-law said that he thanked His Highness for the reward!"

Zong Zhen sneered a few times, but he didn't believe it, and continued to shoot arrows "whoosh".

When Ji Zhao left the palace, he wanted to tell Zong Yan that he couldn't leave the city, but someone from his family had already told him that Zong Yan had returned to Guizhou.

Ji Zhao scolded the prince again in his heart, why couldn't he tell him in advance in the palace!

Is it intentional?

It was intentional!

He asked anxiously: "When did they leave Beijing? Where did they go? Can Cheng Yi send them to the house?"

Knowing that they have just left for more than half an hour, they should not be far from the city gate, so they are barely out of the city, right?Ji Zhao immediately planned to chase Zong Yan and the others, after all, they were his only friends here.

Zong Yan said that when they returned to the fief, they had to put on a guard of honor in the palace, and they traveled slowly.

It didn't take long for Ji Zhao to catch up with them. It was indeed only two miles away from the city gate. Hearing that he was chasing them, Zong Yan hurriedly stopped and jumped off the car. Ji Zhao also quickly jumped off. The friend faced each other for a long while, speechless.

It was only at this time that the two realized that they missed each other quite a bit. They wandered around together for a while, and they really developed feelings for each other.

Zongyan held Ji Zhao's hand and shook it repeatedly: "I'll write to you, and you must remember to reply to me! I will come again next year, and then we will play in your Zhuangzi, and we will eat fish and sheep pot! Hot springs!"

Ji Zhao nodded vigorously: "I picked snow this year to make plum wine, buried it under the plum tree, and waited for you to drink it next year!"

Zong Yan reluctantly let go of Ji Zhao's hand until Zong Mi came to remind him. Ji Zhao always thought that Zong Mi was just a guard, and said, "You must come next year too! Come with your son! Let's go together again Find Xiaoyaozi's book in Loquat Lane!"

A bit of bitterness suddenly surged in Zong Mi's heart, he would not come again unless——

Ji Zhao stepped back and waved at them: "Let's go! See you next year!"

Zong Yan climbed into the carriage, stretched out his hand from the window, poked his head back, and waved to him from time to time, and Ji Zhao followed suit.

Zong Mi rode on the horse and accompanied the carriage, but couldn't help it, and looked back to see Ji Zhao standing beside a piece of red maple.

Since then, the word "beautiful" has a picture in my heart.
