The Way of the Consort

Princess Fuchen was in the middle of the banquet, and when she realized that her menstrual period was coming, she was really suffering from stomach pains. Anyway, the banquet was already halfway, so she took her leave and went back to the princess mansion.

When she got home, she took a bath first, and when she was taking a bath, she didn't like anyone around her, so Qing Jin and the others were waiting outside the house.

After washing, she wiped off the water on her body, picked up the loose and soft household clothes and put them on, stepped on the comfortable embroidered shoes, and came out of the bathroom. Just as she was about to call for someone, she suddenly heard a voice coming from the bedroom. Quietly.She frowned slightly, and walked directly to the dormitory. After a few glances, she didn't notice anything wrong. She thought she had heard it wrong.

"Qing—" Before she could yell out, a man in black clothes suddenly rolled out of the window, and she also smelled blood in her nose. She was so frightened that she immediately stepped back and wanted to call for someone.The man raised his eyes to look at her, seeing those eyes, Princess Fuchen paused, and looked at him in disbelief.

The bedroom suddenly became extremely quiet, and after a while, Qing Jin knocked on the door: "Your Highness, have you finished washing?"

Princess Fuchen hurriedly regained her senses: "Soon..."

"Your Highness, the Imperial Army came over just now, and something happened in Beijing."

"What happened?"

"Wen Guiren was killed at home. The assassin ran away and passed by the son-in-law's mansion. Master Lin said that he saw the assassin coming to our princess mansion and wanted to come in to investigate."

Princess Fuchen's heart was beating wildly, she stretched out her hand to caress her heart, but did not speak.

Qing Jin worried: "Princess, let them come in and take a look. If there is an assassin, you can rest assured after seeing it."

"well."

"Yes, maidservant, let them come here now."

Princess Fuchen blinked her eyes, still pressing her hand on her heart, and unconsciously looked at the person in the corner again.

The forbidden army quickly searched here. After all, it was the princess' bedroom, so they didn't dare to go forward. They only asked loudly from a distance, "Your Highness, is there something strange in your room?"

The frequency of Princess Fuchen's blinking became faster, her mind was in chaos, and she didn't dare to look into those eyes anymore.

"Princess—" until the man called him softly.

Tears trickled down from Princess Fuchen's blinking eyes.

"Princess?" Outside the house, Master Lin called out again.

"Princess—" the person in the room called her again.

Princess Fuchen took a deep breath and replied loudly: "There is nothing unusual..."

"Yes! Your subordinate interrupted you! Your Highness, please rest well!" As soon as the words fell, the heavy footsteps of the imperial guards gradually faded away.

Princess Fuchen stiffly moved to the side of the couch and sat down on the table, her tears were still falling. After a long time, the masked man in black said softly, "Thank you, Princess, for saving my life."

Princess Fuchen looked up at the sky, but couldn't stop crying.

"Farewell..."

Princess Fuchen didn't look in that direction, she only heard some movement, the sound of the window being rolled up, "Pei Rong..." She finally turned her head and called out to that person.

The man stopped.

"you you--"

Princess Fuchen wanted to ask, did you ever like me, but found that the question was extremely pale, so pale that she couldn't ask the black figure at all.

"Princess, I'm leaving, thank you, take care."

The man finished speaking with his back to Fu Chen, turned out the window, left a little bloodstain, and disappeared in an instant.

Princess Fuchen lay on the table and finally cried bitterly.

Ji Zhao pushed Zongzhen away hard, and said angrily, "Don't touch me!" He turned his head and walked away, wanting to go to the street, and after walking a few steps, he came back again, even more angry, "This is my home, why should you not touch me?" I'm leaving? I'm not leaving!"

I don't know what kind of neuropathy the neuropathy caused, but Zong Zhen actually laughed. Of course, it was just a very faint smile, but Ji Zhao could tell it at a glance.Ji Zhao passed him and walked towards the mansion, Zong Zhen also relaxed now, the man failed to frame Ji Zhao, it would be best if he could be caught, if not, there will always be a time to catch him in the future.

His Royal Highness felt a rare sense of relief in his heart, and his steps were brisk, and he turned to chase after Ji Zhao.

"Close the door! Close the door!" Ji Zhao walked into the house and told Chen Xing to close the door quickly.

Zong Zhen said leisurely: "I can still climb over the wall and enter."

"..." Ji Zhao looked sour, wrinkled his face, wrinkled his nose, walked straight in, and met Wei's mother on the way, "Oh, I'm scared to death, it's all right, let my mother take a look!" Wei's mother held Ji Zhao looked up and down to make sure he was fine, "Amitabha, suddenly there was an assassin! I saw that black shadow on the roof! Fortunately, he ran away again!"

"Mom, I'm fine." Ji Zhao's voice was sweet, Zong Zhen's long-lost voice.

Mother Wei looked at him, and then she saw Zong Zhen behind him. Mother Wei didn't know about their nonsense, and asked suspiciously, "Who is this?"

Ji Zhao looked at the sky and rolled his eyes: "He is the princess' brother."

"Princess's brother..." Mother Wei muttered, "That's the prince!" She immediately saluted Zongzhen, "I have seen His Royal Highness the prince!"

Zong Zhen said kindly: "Mom doesn't need to be too polite."

Wei's mother took Ji Zhao's hand and said angrily, "Your highness, come here, please come in for tea!" She moved away, "Hurry up, Your Highness please!"

"Thank you..."

Ji Zhao had no choice but to be pulled in by Wei's mother reluctantly. The prince was very shameless and followed them all the time.

Not long after sitting down, Yin Ming also came back. Hearing that the assassin was going to the princess mansion, Zong Zhen and Ji Zhao were very nervous, so they looked at him immediately, and he hurriedly said: "But it's okay! The imperial army went in to search, but the assassin is not there! The princess is fine too!"

"Huh..." Ji Zhao let out a breath, "I'm scared to death... As long as the princess is fine, as long as it's fine." Ji Zhao was about to get up, "I'd better go and see the princess, she must be terrified .”

Zong Zhen looked at him with complicated eyes.

Does Ji Zhao really like Fu Chen?

Yin Ming said: "I went to ask Ann, the princess said she is fine, the princess seems to be unwell, she has already rested, you should go to see her tomorrow."

Only then did Ji Zhao give up his thoughts. Mother Wei brought people a lot of refreshments and greeted His Royal Highness to eat. Mother Wei liked Princess Fuchen very much. In Ji Zhao's heart, the Crown Prince was a shameless psychopath. In fact, His Royal Highness was very kind as long as he wanted to. Yes, and good looking, he is exactly the kind of gentleman that women of Wei's age like most.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very willing now. After sending someone to the Princess Mansion to inquire, he has been actively talking to Wei's mother all the time.

Mother Wei didn't expect His Highness the Crown Prince to be so kind and willing to talk to her. Her smile became like a flower, and she even said something like "I don't know which girl is lucky enough to marry you as your empress". The Crown Prince is crazy. Unexpectedly, he was not angry, and let Wei's mother talk.

Ji Zhao couldn't take it anymore and got up to leave.

"You child—" Mother Wei held him back, and smiled at Zongzhen, "Your Highness, Brother Zhao is a good boy, but he is still young, so please take care of him."

Zong Zhen also looked up at him, with a faint smile in his eyes, and Ji Zhao looked up angrily.

"Your Highness and the Princess are truly brothers and sisters, with the same good nature! Brother Zhao is so lucky!"

Ji Zhao couldn't listen anymore, and broke away from Wei's mother's hand: "You guys are talking, I'll go to the back."

After speaking, he quickly took a lantern and left.

He went around to sit on the ground behind a rockery, the crown prince would never be found, he breathed a sigh of relief, and was ready to think about what happened tonight, why did an assassin suddenly appear, who killed Wen Guiren, and just happened to come to his mansion, Thinking about it carefully, I'm afraid there are some strange things in it, how could there be so many coincidences.

Just as he was thinking about the beginning, he suddenly heard soft music coming from a distance. He unconsciously looked in the direction of the sound and listened to it a few times. The song was "Shui Tiao Ge Tou? When Will the Moon Come?" , the singing became clearer and more melodious, especially on such a moonlit Mid-Autumn night, Ji Zhao gradually became fascinated by it, and hadn't recovered from it after listening to the song.

"Do you still want to hear it?" Someone outside the rockery talked to him.

He came back to his senses, looked up, and saw Zong Zhen's face, he "hummed", Zong Zhen had already walked around, bent down to pick up the lantern on the ground, and stretched out his hand to him, Ji Zhao supported it by himself Standing up from the ground, Zong Zhen didn't feel embarrassed, and directly helped him pat the dust off his body.Ji Zhao stepped forward and refused to let him take pictures. Zong Zhen walked behind him with a lantern in his hand: "It was sung by Chunyue Society. It was on the bridge next to the painting boat at this time. I asked Mother Wei to prepare a lot of refreshments. On the boat , Watching the moon, listening to music, it's the best."

Ji Zhao turned to look at him: "You are annoying..."

Zong Zhen was also angry, but stopped talking.

Ji Zhao walked forward and said, "If you don't say a word tonight, I can force myself to listen."

Zong Zhen behind him twitched his lips.

Ji Zhao couldn't wait for a response, and was dissatisfied: "Why didn't you speak?!"

Zong Zhen was surprised: "It's not that you told me not to speak."

"..." Ji Zhao was so angry that he went to the fork in the road and wanted to run, but Zongzhen hurried forward to stop him with a lantern: "Slow down, you are still not well." Then he asked, "I beg you to listen?"

Ji Zhao wrinkled his nose, and Zong Zhen made a gesture of invitation. Ji Zhao couldn't resist the temptation, so he went to the painting boat.

Sure enough, there were everything on the boat, and the little rabbit’s mooncakes were also delicious. They were brought by Zongzhen from the East Palace. They were stuffed with rose bean paste, not too sweet, and they were made so small that Ji Zhao could eat one in one bite.He ate several in a row, Zong Zhen took the plate aside, he stared at Zong Zhen, Zong Zhen pretended not to see it.

Angrily, Ji Zhao could only continue to look at the stone bridge opposite. The stone bridge was an arch bridge. Under the moonlight, there was a reflection on the water surface, which happened to form a complete circle with the original semicircle.There is a full moon in the sky, and another round on the water, so there are three moons.

The moonlight was clear, but the voices of the actors were even brighter.

Without wine, Ji Zhao would almost be drunk with the moonlight and music.

Maybe it was because he was in a good mood, Ji Zhao asked the people around him after seeing what happened, "Why did you lie to me?"

Zong Zhen didn't speak.

Ji Zhao said again: "What are your plans for me? Why are you trying to curry favor with me at this time? If you can tell me why, I can listen to your explanation."

Ji Zhao is not a fool either, the prince's behavior is really strange, if he really hates him, it will tear his face, as for still flattering him so much?But if the prince is really good to him, why lie to him, why use him before?Isn't it contradictory that he might still be using him now?

If there is a secret, as long as it is reasonable, he can understand.

Zong Zhen still didn't speak, Ji Zhao said: "You are allowed to speak now."

How should Zong Zhen say this?

He hasn't figured it out yet, and about Ji Zhao, he himself is still confused, not knowing why he made up his mind again and again, violated his resolution again and again, and did things he never thought about.In his previous life, he and Ji Zhao were close friends, and he had never flattered Ji Zhao so much.

Yes, to please, he was afraid that Ji Zhao would be angry.

Is he so afraid of Ji Zhao getting angry?

Just want to see Ji Zhao so much?

He thought he was sick.

And those things in the previous life, how can I tell Ji Zhao.

It's really impossible to talk about it. If he didn't say it, Ji Zhao was angry: "If you don't say it, don't say it! What's the big deal!"

Ji Zhao held his breath, grabbed the little rabbit mooncake and stuffed it into his mouth again, Zong Zhen didn't dare to stop him from the side.

After eating half a plate, he felt sleepy when he was full, and the environment was comfortable. Ji Zhao hadn't slept well in the past few days, and gradually fell asleep to the sound of Qingyue's music.

The actors on the bridge were still singing, Zong Zhen asked someone to row the painting boat to the shore, he carried Ji Zhao ashore, and carried Ji Zhao back to the yard.

Surrounded by the moonlight, the music was melodious, like a dream, Chen Xing and Yin Ming followed behind them with puzzled expressions, while the eunuchs Bao Qing and Cheng Shen had more complicated expressions.

His Royal Highness, on the other hand, had a calm expression, no matter whether it was the past or the future, he did not dare to think too much, nor did he want to think too much.

If there is any wish, it is very ordinary. I hope that every year there will be today, and every year will have today.

This is his most ordinary wish at this time.
