The Way of the Consort

On the way back to the city, Ji Zhao's interest was not so high.

Chen Xing knew that he was unhappy, and tried to make him happy, but he didn't smile.Ji Zhao lowered his head and played with the jade pendant on his waist. He really liked it. It was a white jade double fish pendant, and the workmanship was extremely fine. He really wanted to keep it and wait for that elder brother to come to his door, how could he give it to someone else.

It's the prince who is unreasonable. It's in vain that he thought the prince was a good person before.

"Lang Jun!" Yin Ming called him outside.

"what happened?"

Chen Xing lifted the curtain, Yin Ming moved away with a smile, and pointed to the forest beside the road: "Look, sir, there are a few red maple trees still growing there, and they are very good."

Ji Zhao leaned over to take a look, and sure enough, the red maple was like fire, extremely beautiful.

"Sir, come down and have a look?"

Ji Zhao knew that they were trying to make him happy, so they jumped out of the carriage after all. Many people were already admiring the maple leaves. Seeing that they were either rich or expensive, they stepped aside one after another, leaving Ji Zhao empty.

Ji Zhao walked around a few maple trees, and he really saw the interest.

It would be great if he could compose poems, and he could improvise a few poems, but he can't.

Chen Xing said: "The red maple is so beautiful, sir, this year is already out of season, let's plant a few in our house next year!"

"OK……"

"Lang Jun! Prune the branches and go back to the bottle!"

Ji Zhao wanted to refuse at first, but he really felt that the red maple was beautiful. He agreed, and picked the one with Chen Xing for a long time, and picked the one they thought was the most beautiful. Get in the car.

Ji Zhao is not a very thoughtful person, and his unhappiness dissipated later.

He even started to think about the affairs in the palace again, there was no way, his life was still in the prince's thoughts, and his good life was not over for a few days.

The prince didn't make any sense, but it was also reasonable. Whoever let others be the prince is the leader.

He seemed to be not very polite today, and he didn't even say hello when he was leaving.

Ji Zhao thought about it all the way, and when he arrived at the door of his house, he looked at the maple in his hand when he was about to get off the car. After thinking for a while, he called for a Coke in red packaging and handed the maple to him: "Give it to His Royal Highness!"

Just make amends, don't kill him, let him live a few more days.

Coke waited for him to continue to order, to give gifts, at least to say a few words?

But Ji Zhao didn't say anything, jumped off the carriage and entered the mansion.

Coke had no choice but to ride to the palace.

After releasing the arrows, Zong Zhen rode on the horse for another half an hour, and was planning to go back to have lunch, and watch the memorial after lunch.

Cheng Shen came to report: "Your Highness, Coke is here."

Zong Zhen frowned: "Why is he here again? He's here to deliver pears again? Throw them all away..."

"No, it's not pears this time...it's always Fanta who gave pears..."

It was only then that Zong Zhen realized that it seemed to be true. When Ji Zhao gave things, regular people would give regular things.

"Coke is standing outside the range."

Zong Zhen took a look outside, and sure enough, he saw Coke.

Cheng Shen beckoned to him, Coke ran over, smiling all over his face, their son-in-law had nothing to say, he couldn't do without, so he had nothing to say, Hong Feng handed it to him: "The son-in-law cut a branch of red maple and gave it to His Highness. "

Zong Zhen looked at the maple leaf branch in his hand, it was really good.

Seeing that His Highness never got angry, Ke Le laughed again: "It's been a long time since I picked the son-in-law!"

Zong Zhen's anger was almost gone after practicing the arrow, so he asked, "Where did you cut it?"

Coke spoke quickly: "It's not far from the city gate——"

Zong Zhen looked at him: "When will I allow him to leave the capital?"

"..." Coke trembled, and said in a low voice, "The son-in-law went two miles away to see off the fifth son."

Zong Zhen sneered.

Coke shook even more, and Zong Zhen beat him: "Hu Wen, you have a new name, and you forgot who you really are?"

"Plop", Coke knelt on the ground, not daring to move.

However, Zong Zhen stretched out his hand and took Hong Feng from his hand, turned around and left, before leaving, he said calmly: "Go back and tell your son-in-law that he is going to play with Zhuangzi, I agree."

The prince walked a long way, but Coke still didn't dare to get up, and his whole body was covered in cold sweat.

It was Cheng Shen who helped him up, and Coke was trembling, leaning against him, panting: "Brother Cheng, what does Your Highness mean by this? I am only loyal to Your Highness!"

Cheng Shen can understand Coke very well. To be honest, with such a pure and kind person, His Royal Highness is the only one who can be cruel, right?If things go on like this for a long time, who wouldn't like a son-in-law?I didn't see that even their highnesses were ruthless while at the same time couldn't help but satisfy the consort's request.

But if you like it, you like it, Cheng Shen said: "You just need to remember who is your real master, and you will succeed."

"I remember it clearly!"

"Okay, let's go back quickly! Tell the prince-in-law the good news, the prince-in-law might be so happy!"

"Brother, if you give me another word, why did His Highness suddenly agree?"

"I said, why have you been out of the palace for more than a month, but you are stupid?! Your Highness is happy! It's easy to talk when you are happy!"

Ke Le thought to himself, how did His Highness look happy from that expressionless face?

"Your Highness likes that branch of red maple, get out!"

Cheng Shen pushed him and ran after the prince.

Coke calmed down his breath repeatedly, and then he left the palace and returned home.

It was a pity, even regret, that Ji Zhao gave such a beautiful branch of red maple to the murderous maniac.

He led people around the yard, picking a place to move some red maple trees.

Coke came back and brought him the good news.

Ji Zhao laughed immediately, overjoyed.

Without waiting, the things were already packed, so he took people with him and went out of the city.Before leaving, I didn't forget to send someone to the Princess Mansion to say something.

When he walks on the front foot, Zong Zhen knows it when he walks on the back foot.

After hearing this, Zong Zhen sneered: "I can't wait for a moment."

How much do you want to stay in the capital?I don't know what kind of demon I want to be if I am in a hurry to go outside the city.

He ordered: "Keep an eye on him and pay attention to the people he meets outside the city."

"Yes!"

After the people left, Zong Zhen leaned back on the chair and squinted at the branch of red maple that had already been bottled on the table.

Bao Qing came in and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty is looking for you."

"Got it..." Zong Zhen got up, tidied his clothes, and went out to Yanfu Hall.

Renzong leaned on the couch and closed his eyes to rest his mind. Two young eunuchs beat his legs. When he heard the sound, he opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Brother Zhen is here..."

"Father..." Zong Zhen saluted respectfully.

"Come, sit." Renzong pointed to the seat next to him, and waved for the little eunuchs to go down.

Zong Zhen sat down, Xiang Sheng led someone in to deliver tea and snacks, Renzong pushed the plate towards him: "Newly made pear paste, Brother Zhen, try it."

Zong Zhen picked up the silver chopsticks as he said, tasted it quickly, and said with a smile: "It's very refreshing..."

Renzong smiled and said: "I also got the revelation from my son-in-law. Your cough has indeed improved a lot recently. Are you going to the shooting range to practice archery again today?"

"Yes, I practiced for an hour in the morning."

"Take your time. Your body is the most important thing. In terms of government affairs, there is also the father."

"Son knows..."

Only then did Renzong get to the point: "In today's court, Wen Xiang mentioned the matter of the princess again. I didn't marry a wife for you before because you were in poor health and kept procrastinating. As the prince of a country, the future emperor, you can't marry me. There is no crown princess, I see that you are in good health recently, it can be seen that strengthening your body is indeed healthy. If this continues, next year, I want to marry the crown princess for you, what do you think?"

In his previous life, his health had been poor, and the imperial physician had repeatedly warned him not to reveal any blood. He had always only had the Liangdi Zhou family, and had no crown princess, and he had never even had sex with a man and a woman.

In this life, no matter whether he is in good health or not, he intends to marry the princess, even if it is just for display.

There is no other reason, the position of a crown princess can bring him huge benefits.

In this life, except for his father and younger sister, he can use everything, including himself.

Zong Zhen nodded: "My son thinks it's fine."

Renzong nodded in satisfaction with a smile, brought another booklet, and handed it to him: "These are a few families I have figured out, take a look. Aunt Zhang has seen all the young ladies in these houses and said they are all excellent. Child. Aunt Zhang is your mother's dowry, and her vision is trustworthy."

Zong Zhen opened it and saw that it was nothing more than the daughters of several Xiangfu families and big aristocratic families.

Of course he believed in Aunt Zhang's vision, but he already had a candidate for the crown princess in his heart, and he also had his own plans.

He said: "Anyway, it's still a matter of next year or next year, so choose slowly."

Renzong laughed again: "That's right, you have to like it yourself. If you have a little lady you like, you can tell Father."

Zongzhen agreed, Renzong did not continue to talk to him about this matter, and discussed with him about the Zizhou earthquake, how to arrange it, who to send there again, how to distribute the money, etc. After talking for a long time, stay He stayed in Yanfu Hall all afternoon and had dinner together before letting him go back.

She still didn't forget to tell him: "The son-in-law is not bad, Zi'er has been full of praise for him when he came back to the palace, you have nothing to do and give him more rewards."

"Son knows..."

When he left, Renzong personally sent him to the door, and said with emotion: "If your mother sees that your body is getting better day by day, I don't know how gratified she will be." Then he reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "Take care of your body, father!" The emperor can rest assured that this world will be handed over to you."

Zong Zhen stood under the steps, turned to look at him, the corners of his eyes were sore.

Zongzhen's admiration and longing for Renzong is no less than that of Princess Fuchen. After Fuchen was reborn, he saw Renzong crying like that for the first time.

Why doesn't Zong Zhen want to cry?

It's just that he hides his emotions better.

He is also willing to take over the heavy burden from his father earlier and create a prosperous generation.

Before dark, when Ji Zhao arrived at Zhuangzi outside the city, Wei's mother arrived first with her people, and the arrangements had already been made.

As soon as Ji Zhao arrived, he got into the room where the charcoal basin was lit, ate hot snacks and drank hot tea.

Wei's mother even opened the window specially to show him the plum blossoms outside the window, and even praised: "This Zhuangzi is really good. Mom walked around, and it is no worse than the Zhuangzi next to our Slender West Lake! Look! It is a plum blossom, which is suitable for winter viewing! You can see it without going out of the house!"

Ji Zhao deeply believed that the ancients really knew how to design houses!

The faint fragrance of plum blossoms is slowly blowing into the room accompanied by the cold wind, and drinking some hot tea will make your lips and teeth smell fragrant!

Wei's mother said again: "This is plum blossom tea. It's too cold. It's cold and I don't dare to ask you to drink it. Mom took a small bottle and made tea for you to drink in summer!"

Ji Zhao smiled, "Okay..."

Everyone laughed along, and when Ji Zhao was happy, everyone was really happy.

Ji Zhao didn't have too much airs, and he also thought that there were no outsiders here, so he asked everyone to sit down, drink tea and eat snacks together.

Ji Zhao became happy, and thought of the yin and yang prince in the palace again.

No matter what, it was thanks to the prince's noble hand that he was able to come out to play.

If the crown prince refuses to let him out, there is nothing he can do.

Not to mention that such a beautiful Zhuangzi was also given by the prince.

The prince is actually okay...

Ji Zhao thought for a while and asked, "When will the city gate be closed?"

"At the end of Xu time..."

Ji Zhao asked again: "If you go back to the city now, will you still have time to enter the city?"

Yin Ming was surprised: "Naturally, it's too late. After riding the fast horse for more than half an hour, Mr. Lang wants to go back to the city to get the things? There is still time to come back after getting the things."

"no!"

Ji Zhao got up with a smile, jumped off the bed, stepped on his shoes, touched the window, stretched out his hand from the fur cloak, and stretched back: "Scissors for me..."

Chen Xing immediately handed over the scissors, Mother Wei came over and said with a smile, "Brother Zhao wants to cut flower branches?"

"Ok!"

"Mom will help you choose together!"

Chen Xing also jumped up: "Me too!"

Ji Zhao was very generous: "Come, come, let's brainstorm together!"

After brainstorming, I picked the most beautiful plum blossom, and Mother Wei smiled: "This time, I brought some beautiful plum vases together, and I will use them to arrange flowers for Mr. Wang!"

"No need..." Ji Zhao handed the flowers to Yin Ming, "Go back to the city with Xuebi, send them to the palace, and give them to the prince."

Everyone was dumbfounded, and it was given to the prince again?

"Huh?" Ji Zhao wondered.

Yin Ming hurriedly hugged him carefully in his arms: "You know, little one!"

"You go back in the carriage, be careful not to damage the flowers, don't rush back, come back tomorrow."

"it is good!"

Yin Ming and Xuebi went back to the city to deliver the plum blossoms, while Ji Zhao sat back and continued to drink tea, eat snacks, and enjoy the flowers with squinted eyes.

Everyone in the room dispersed, only Chen Xing and Wei's mother remained.

Mother Wei finally said: "Mr. Lang, why don't you give the princess a branch?"

Ji Zhao froze, yes, why did he forget the princess again?

But he quickly came back to his senses, married couples, what else do they want, the most important thing is to save their lives!

His Royal Highness is the most important thing!
