The Way of the Consort

Ji Zhao doesn't like living in the city, but loves to have fun in Zhuangzi. Zong Zhen hopes that he will be happier.

However, Ji Zhao really couldn't be happy this time, who could be happy under such circumstances?But he is also very grateful to His Majesty, at least, Zhuangzi is indeed much better than in the city, he is tired of those people who are yelling outside the door every day.

On the first day when he came to Zhuangzi, the princess sent someone to visit him and comfort him.

My grandfather also wrote a letter, saying that he would be back in a few days, and told him not to worry.

He really wasn't worried, and what was sad was never the rumored assassination of Qin Fa, what was sad was being misunderstood by his friends.

Two days later, when my grandfather and the others returned to Jinling, they first went to see him in Zhuangzi, and my grandmother hugged him for a long time and called "heart" and "obediently", her eyes were filled with distress.What the grandfather meant was that what happened this time was due to a few prime ministers, and the prince was fighting, so he was a fish in the pond.

Needless to say from his grandfather, Ji Zhao also guessed that the prince is not a good person anyway, and he likes to involve him in everything.

He thought he was numb, and when he returned to his yard after talking with his grandfather, he still couldn't help feeling angry and uncomfortable.

The prince really can't let him go?

It is said that the crown prince strongly recommended him to be his son-in-law back then, if he really hated him, why bother?

Ji Zhao had no choice but to curse "crazy" in his heart.

Back in the house, he sat quietly for a while, dripped water into the inkstone, rubbed the ink, and spread out the paper to write the letter.

What can I write, I can't really scold the prince in front of outsiders.

Ji Zhao stared blankly with the pen for a long time before writing. After writing on half a piece of paper, he folded it and stuffed it into the envelope.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather gradually warmed up, and Huangmei had already arrived. The rain in Jinling City was continuous, and it was stuffy all day long. Zong Zhen was not in good health, and he couldn't use ice before.Now that the body is getting better and they are aware of the heat, the imperial doctor nodded, and they dared to move a small iceberg and put it far under the window. Just after a rain, the wind outside the window blew in. It's cool.

After reading the letter in his hand, Zong Zhen couldn't feel calm anymore.

He looked at the sky outside, it was gloomy, it might rain, and the clouds were very low, his heart felt even more uncomfortable, as if being pressed by the thick black clouds that day.

He picked up Ji Zhao's letter to read again. Ji Zhao's letter to him in the past, happiness is within reach, even if he is as indifferent as him, he can feel the extreme.Today's letter seemed to be soaked in sadness overnight. Ji Zhao said in the letter that he was in a bad mood and his friend ignored him. When he asked him when he would come back, Ji Zhao said he missed him.

Zong Zhen knew who Ji Zhaoxin's friends were. That day Ji Zhao waited all afternoon, but Qin Wen didn't come out.

Obviously it didn't make sense, Zong Zhen couldn't help but also annoyed Qin Wen in his heart, since he left later, why couldn't Qin Wen come out for a while?To ask Ji Zhao to wait at the door for no reason?Ask him to say, if Qin Wen really believes in those rumors in Beijing, it is worth noting not to be friends with this kind of person!not worth it!

The more he thought about it, the more panicked Zong Zhen became, and the rain began to "patter" outside.

The raindrops fell on the ground, and also "crackled" on his heart.

Zong Zhen stared out the window for a moment, and quickly made a decision, "Baoqing..." he called someone.

"Your Highness..." Bao Qing came in immediately.

Zong Zhen got up and left the desk: "I'm going to the palace and ask the kitchen to make some delicate snacks, sweet ones are better."

"Yes..." Bao Qing responded, looked at the sky again, and said, "Your Highness, it's raining outside."

"It's okay..." Zong Zhen said, and went to the west room to change clothes. Cheng Shen came in to help him change clothes. Cheng Shen asked him, "Your Highness, where are you going? Can you return tonight?"

In fact, Cheng Shen had some guesses in his mind, and sure enough, their Highness said, "I'll go and see the son-in-law."

"Can I bring a change of clothes?"

"No, I'll be back before dawn."

"Yes..." Cheng Shen lowered his head to help him tie his belt.

After Zongzhen changed his clothes, he opened a drawer on the high cabinet, took out a purse and put it in his sleeve pocket, and took a few packets of sugar. After waiting for a while, Baoqing came in and said that the snack was ready, and ordered to bring it, Zongzhen Zhen put on his cloak and went out.

The rain outside was getting heavier, and an ordinary green-draped carriage drove out from the side gate of the palace with few people, and went directly to the outskirts of the city.

There have been several heavy rains on the mountain, not only not hot, but also very cold.

The grandfather took the uncles back to the city, the grandmother and aunts, and Brother Citron and the juniors stayed with him in the mountains, it was raining heavily, everyone stayed in their own yard today, Ji Zhao was lazy Yes, someone carried Zhang's rattan rocking chair and placed it on the porch. He was holding a rabbit in his arms, and he lay dangling to watch the rain outside.

The mountain rain is beautiful and charming, and the rain screen reflects the green mountains, and he will not get tired of watching it all day long.

Looking at it, listening to the sound of rain, he fell asleep without knowing it. Chen Xing quietly took the rabbit away from his arms, and also took away the book that fell on his stomach, and took a thin blanket Covering him, putting the rabbit in the cage, putting a handful of vegetable leaves, Chen Xing moved a small scorpion, sat beside him, holding his face and staring at the rain curtain in a daze.

Coke and the others patrolled the Zhuangzi under the leadership of Yin Ming.

Zhuangzi is too big and there are many people living there. Ji Zhao is worried and tells them to patrol three times a day. Du Bo has nothing to do and follows them around.Turning around and coming back, I met a gatekeeper in the Zhuangzi on the way. When the man saw Yin Ming, he immediately stepped forward: "Brother Yin! We came down from the mountain to meet the son-in-law."

"who is it?"

"The little one doesn't know either, he said he came from Huizhou."

Du Bo raised his eyebrows, and the four sons of Coke also looked at each other, but Yin Ming was relieved, this man came, their husband should be very happy!He said: "Please invite them in quickly, don't let the distinguished guests get wet, I will go in and report!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Yin Ming turned around and strode towards Ji Zhao's yard. While Ji Zhao was still sleeping, Chen Xing got up and asked him in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

He also whispered: "The Hui merchant is here!"

"Huh—" Chen Xing also breathed a sigh of relief, "That's really good, but our lord is still sleeping, let's invite him in first, you don't have to go to other places, just take him to our yard, when the lord wakes up It will be a pleasure to see him."

"I think so too."

After Yin Ming finished speaking, he turned around and went out to meet the Hui merchant.

The mountains are huge, and even the sound of the rain is better than the city, ethereal and ethereal. Zhuangzi was built on the mountainside, and there was a mist in the rain. From a distance, Zhuangzi was also hidden in the fog.

It was very cold on the mountain, Zongzhen tightened his cloak, and walked on the slippery stone road. The servants in the mansion were very attentive to him, holding an umbrella for him all the way, complimenting him with a smile, Zongzhen didn't say much, thinking of Ji Zhao In the deepest part of the mist, his footsteps became quicker without realizing it, halfway, he bumped into Yin Ming who was looking for him.

Yin Ming smiled sincerely, bowed to him, and said: "Our lord has been looking forward to your return! You are here!"

Zongzhen's face turned pale, and he nodded at him, but he walked faster, and even Yin Ming had to take big strides to keep up with him, Yin Ming said again: "Our lord is lying on the porch watching the rain, fell asleep, I'll take you there right now, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to wait for a while."

Zong Zhen nodded again, feeling even more anxious.

He knew Yin Ming, he had never had a good face towards him before, I'm afraid that Ji Zhao's mood these days is really bad, seeing him, Yin Ming would be very courteous.

Zong Zhenben wanted to ask Yin Ming many questions, such as whether Ji Zhao has eaten well, slept well, played well, etc. recently.After the words were out of his mouth, he also felt that they were redundant. He just wanted to see Ji Zhao in person soon.

Zhuangzi is too big, and Ji Zhao lives in the deepest place. He even felt that he shouldn't have given Ji Zhao such a big Zhuangzi in the first place!

Finally, when he stepped into Ji Zhao's courtyard, he was about to fly, even Yin Ming secretly looked at him in surprise.

Zong Zhen didn't realize it, he went through several doors in a row, went around the veranda, and then came out through the Moon Gate, and finally saw the reclining chair under the veranda.

He stopped in place, exhaled secretly, and strode forward.

When Chen Xing saw him coming, his eyes lit up, and he bent down to salute him.

Zong Zhen didn't even look at him, he went up the steps, stood beside the reclining chair, and looked down at Ji Zhao.

Ji Zhao slept soundly, with his head tilted and his mouth slightly pursed. The blanket covered him up to his chin, which made his palm-sized face smaller. Zong Zhen frowned. The last time he saw Ji Zhao But it's still the Dragon Boat Festival, and it's only been a while, Ji Zhao has lost weight.

He raised his head, frowned and asked Chen Xing softly: "Has he had a good meal recently?"

Chen Xing shook his head worryingly, and also said softly: "Our lord has a very poor appetite recently, that is to say, he only eats a little when he accompany the old lady for dinner every day."

Zong Zhen frowned very tightly, and went to look at Ji Zhao again.

Chen Xing saw that his cloak was wet, so he whispered: "Go in and change your clothes, then wash your face with hot water, don't catch a cold. I'm afraid our husband will have to sleep for a while."

"It doesn't have to be..."

Chen Xing couldn't persuade him anymore, and pulled out a chair from inside: "You sit and wait, I'll pour you tea."

"It doesn't have to be..."

Chen Xing had no choice but to shrug his shoulders secretly, and stood aside with him. Chen Xing occasionally looked at the rain outside the corridor, and from time to time someone came to ask him to show him, but that person stood motionless, frowning all the time looking at their husband, Chen Xing Xing glanced at him and shivered when he saw his eyes. It must be too cold in the mountains.

Chen Xing looked down the stairs again, and the attendants who followed the Huizhou merchant were also standing meticulously and seriously.

Chen Xing held up an umbrella and walked down. After persuading them for a long time, they refused to move.

They were not willing to be taken down to drink hot tea until Chen Xing asked Zong Zhen and Zong Zhen nodded.

It was getting dark, the rain suddenly became heavier, and the sound of the rain became louder, and Ji Zhaocai woke up slowly.

Ji Zhao first moved without opening his eyes. He stretched out his hand from under the blanket and rubbed his eyes while yawning. He lazily rubbed his eyes a few times, "I'm not afraid that rubbing will hurt my eyes." Suddenly someone said in his ear , Ji Zhao's hand paused, and he forgot to take it away. First, he opened his eyes and saw the person looking at him above his head.

Ji Zhao blinked and murmured, "Am I dreaming... Ah, I'll sleep a little longer!"

As Ji Zhao said, he closed his eyes again, only to hear someone sigh again.

Zong Zhen said helplessly: "It's me, you didn't dream."

"!" Ji Zhao jumped up immediately, but he forgot that he was lying on the rickety recliner chair. Before he sat up, the chair shook, "Ouch!" He sat up, fell back, and he wanted to get up again. Zongzhen bent down helplessly, and reached out to pick him up: "Don't move around..."

"Hey..." Ji Zhao smirked at him.

Ji Zhao's eyes were a little black and blue. Zong Zhen watched it for a long time before, and he was always unhappy. He said that last time Ji Zhao had a serious illness. According to Cheng Shen, it was only pale, because Ji Zhao hadn't seen it at that time. Thought, physical discomfort but enough sleep, sleep well.This time, Ji Zhao really had something on his mind, that's why he couldn't sleep well, and that's why his eyes were black and blue.

Ji Zhao was really unhappy, unhappy.

There were only a few lanterns hanging in the corridor, the lights were dim, and with the darkness of night, Ji Zhao's complexion became even uglier, and Zong Zhen felt even more uncomfortable.

Zong Zhen held his arm with one hand, fixed the shaky recliner with the other hand, and said, "Come down, be careful, you—"

"elder brother!"

Before he finished speaking, Ji Zhao, whose arm was supported by him, got into his arms directly, with his face leaning against his waist. Ji Zhao even pulled out the arm supported by him, and directly wrapped his hands around She hugged his waist tightly, and sighed a little bit aggrievedly, "Brother, I miss you so much."
