little son-in-law

"Prince Xiaorong, the emperor is waiting for you in the warm pavilion, you can come with this old slave." After walking a few steps, you will find the lake in the garden, surrounded by water, and only a floating corridor connects to the warm pavilion built in the middle of the lake.

"Prince Xiaorong, watch your feet carefully. This corridor is floating on the water, and it is shaking a lot. The old slave lit a lantern for you earlier." This self-proclaimed old slave is actually not old, in his early thirties, white His delicate face and baby face give people the illusion that he is easy to get along with, but no one who knows him has ever dared to despise him because of his appearance or his status as a eunuch. He has served the emperor since he was eight or nine years old, and now there are twenty It has been a few years, from the little eunuch who was the rough envoy at that time to the chief eunuch who is now the chief eunuch, to tidy up and down the servants in the inner palace, this is not just relying on the emperor's favor.

Rong Jin met him back then, and he was also one of the few people who knew that the emperor had personally conceived a child.At that time, he was still a young boy, and he was in charge of taking care of the newborn little prince by the bedside, and teasing the baby who was still in the swaddle with a rattle: "Little Highness, look here, look here, I am Mrs. Guozi... "

"Thank you, Father-in-law Xiao Guozi, for leading the way." Rong Jin seemed to speak naturally.

"You...what did you call me just now?" Wu Guo seemed to be frightened by the call, turned around suddenly, and asked with some uncertainty.

"I say thank you, Eunuch Wu, for leading me the way." Rong Jin stood still, looking back at him with the same expression, and there was a hint of questioning in her eyes.

"Nothing? Maybe I heard it wrong. The emperor is still waiting, so the old servant will take the little prince Rong a few steps." It must be really wrong, the name of this little fruit was given by the prince Rong back then. The prince has a free and easy temper, and loves to tease people. When I heard his name was Wu Guo, everyone called him Mr. Wu, but the prince was born and called him Xiao Guozi. In the end, the emperor also called him Xiao Guozi, but he went to call him the little prince. After that, Prince Rong never came again. The emperor called him Old Wu these years, but Xiao Guozi hadn't heard his name for many years.

Rong Jin followed behind him.He lowered his head to straighten the corner of his clothes, a teasing smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

"Prince Xiao Rong, please come inside." Wu Guo took the first step and closed the curtain.

With the light fragrance of bergamot, Rong Jin suddenly felt that his heart was disturbed. He thought he was ready, but at this moment, he felt that seeing him might not be better than seeing him, but he also understood in his heart that what happened today , the initiative is not in oneself.

Rong Jin let out a deep breath, lifted the curtain and went in.

The sweet fragrance of bergamot is a bit more intense. Today's emperor is wearing a dark gold embroidered court dress, holding a translucent white jade hairpin, leaning on the warm couch on the south side of the pavilion. There are a few books, bergamot is burning in the incense burner in the corner, and the candlelight in the pavilion is not bright. Today, the face of today is half hidden in the shadow, but it is difficult to hide its own charm. It is a kind of warmth accumulated over the years. Wisdom and wisdom are innate dignity and elegance that cannot be polished by time.His face is still very young, but when you look into his eyes, you will realize that if you haven't been condensed for a long time, how can you have such a pair of astonishing pupils.

While Rong Jin was looking at the current emperor, the emperor was also looking back at him calmly. He really was a good son brought up by Rong Xi. At such a young age, he was so calm and calm. Xi has been hiding it all these years.The imperial court memorial never mentioned that Rong Jin said a few words, for fear that the imperial court would hit his precious son.

The sixteen or seventeen-year-old child in front of him could vaguely see Rong Xi's somewhat similar appearance. He was almost the same age when he met Rong Xi. If his child, if his only child, would he still The child who didn't come to name...

With a severe burning pain in his heart, he bent down and groaned in pain.

"Your majesty... medicine, medicine..." Wu Guo panicked for a moment, then forced herself to calm down, and took out two ice-like pills from her purse with ease, watching the emperor take it without hesitation, The pale and tense face was relieved, and he was signaled to bow down. The emperor had fewer seizures in the past two years, especially in the past six months. He thought it was a sign of improvement, but why did it turn out this time? It seemed to be getting worse. If he hadn't been thinking about Xu Yuyi's instructions, the emperor would definitely not be able to miss this Qingxin Pill when his illness flares up. He wears it on his body all year round, and Wu Guo's heart is cold. He can't even think about the consequences... …

Your Majesty, 17 years have passed, are you still unable to let go?

Prince Rong, you just blindly blame the emperor for abandoning your highness, but why don't you think about the emperor's difficulties?Your Highness is the child that the emperor took pleasure in under your body with the honor of the Son of Heaven, and personally conceived him. If he didn't love you deeply, why would he have to do such a thing?But you are not even willing to tell the place of the last burial of His Highness.

Also in that year, after losing Prince Rong and His Royal Highness, the emperor dealt with the follow-up of that reform with force, and issued the imperial decree of "the whole family will be executed, women and children will not be left behind".After the change came to an end, the emperor ignored everyone's dissuasion and went out of the palace alone. Others may not know, but he has been with the emperor for so many years. He knows that the emperor has gone to Linyang. What he doesn't know is what happened in Linyang What happened, the emperor started to get sick when he returned to the palace, and stayed in bed for more than a year, and even the imperial doctor had hinted several times: there is no way to return to heaven, and to prepare for the funeral.If it weren't for Prince Yu's insistence, the emperor might not be able to survive at that time. The will has already been made, and he was passed on to Prince Yu. Although he survived in the end, he hurt his heart and lungs and left an incurable disease. .

He overheard Doctor Xu muttering a few words, but he didn't understand anything else, he only remembered one sentence: Sorrowful Lung.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Wu Guoli was about to stop him, the Emperor never allowed anyone to get close to him, when he saw Prince Xiao Rong bent down and patted the coughing Emperor on the back.

Rong Jin could clearly feel the body of his subordinates stiffen, and then a low coughing sound came out from between the snow-white brocade handkerchiefs.

"Sit down over there." Nangong Qiuhu pointed to the small footstool beside him, his voice hoarse after coughing.

"Drink some water to moisten your throat." It's not that she didn't see the alertness in his eyes, Rong Jin handed him the tea on the short table, watched him take a few sips, and then took it. Wu Guojing stood aside and looked at the two. People don't seem to know how many tacit understandings they have done.

"You can use more almond tea later. That's good for coughs."

Nangong Qiuhu raised his eyebrows slightly, and found it interesting that he scrutinized the young man with clear eyebrows and eyes: "Don't you hate me?"

"Even if you want to hate, that person shouldn't be me." This is the entanglement between his father and him. He should not and cannot express hatred for the person who gave him life.

"These words are interesting, why can't I understand?" Nangong Qiuhu's lips tightened, Rong Jin didn't want to tell him, Rong Xi had already told his son everything about the past.

"I have nothing to hate."

"Copied the Rong family, the princess retired, and ruined the century-old reputation of your Rong family, don't you hate it?"

"There's nothing to hate." Rong Jin still said the same thing.

Nangong Qiuhu laughed back in anger, this temperament of not caring about anything really resembles Rong Xi very much.

If his child was still there, he would be this old, he would be like him and Rongxi, would he have such a gentle and indifferent temperament?But he didn't even know where his own child was buried.

"If I remember correctly, you should be born in July, right?"

"I'm sorry to trouble the emperor, I was born on the eighth day of July." Rong Jin lowered her eyelids to hide the emotion in her eyes.

"The eighth day of July? It's a good day, it's a good day..." Nangong Qiuhu covered his eyes with his hands, the desolation in the laughter made Rong Jin's heart tighten, and before he could say anything, Nangong Qiuhu ruthlessly A slap came over.

Rong Jin received the slap without dodging, her right cheek was in hot pain, under the huge impact, she bit her lip, and the fishy-sweet slight heat slid out.

The sudden and crisp applause also made Wu Guo, who was standing by the side with his head bowed, raise his head in surprise: Your Majesty... Now that things are going on, why do you do this?

His child was born on the eighth day of September, but this Rong Jin was born on the eighth day of July in the same year. When he knew it, he should have given up on it. Back then, Rong Xi said that he only loved him in this life, but at the same time, he was in Nanshao with another person. Every time he thinks about a woman who is tender and affectionate and gives birth to heirs, he can't wait to kill these people.

Rongxi, you keep accusing me of sacrificing your own child to secure the throne, so if you love our baby so much, how did this child come about?

"Now you still say you don't hate me?" Nangong Qiuhu chuckled, his well-maintained hand had a faint jade color, and lifted Rong Jin's chin, pressing his thumb against the blood under his upper lip.

"It's nothing to hate." Rong Jin was not used to such a posture, so she withdrew her upper body and was restrained again.

Nangong Qiuhu pressed the wound on the corner of his lips tightly with his fingertips, the blood that had stopped flowing out again, the warmth of the tentacles seemed to be scorching, his expression changed slightly, he raised his hand and pushed the person away, letting Rong Jin fall on the warm The white jade in the pavilion is on the ground.

Nangong Qiuhu glanced at the young man on the ground with some disgust. The bright palm print on the right cheek was already red and swollen, the blood on the corner of his lips was still wet, and the bruised fingerprints could still be seen on the chin. The only thing that remained unchanged was that the young man was as plain as ever , it was a kind of peace that seemed to have a touch of compassion.

How could he cherish Yu Xuanxuan's child?Rong Xi, Rong Jin, Yu Xuanxuan, none of them will forgive!

But why did this boy's blood make his heart tremble?For a moment, he even wanted to hold the child in his arms to comfort him.

"Rong Jin, what's the matter with you?" Nangong Jingshen didn't see Rong Jin waiting for him when he came back. Thinking of meeting Nangong Jingnian on the road who congratulated him on getting the baby with a half-smile, he searched all over with a little worry. In the garden, the guard at the gate also said that no one went out, but the emperor was in the garden, and then he remembered that the warming pavilion had not been found yet, but as soon as he entered, he saw Rong Jin being detained by the emperor's uncle who was halfway out of the warming couch Chin, push the situation on the ground.

The next lunge rushed over.

Nangong Qiuhu frowned slightly.Looking coldly at this nephew whom he loved and loved since childhood, he lost his composure, half kneeling on the ground, full of distress and anxiety that cannot be concealed.

"Rong Jin..." The hand under the wide sleeves clenched Rong Jin tightly.

"I'm fine. You help me up." Rong Jin shook back soothingly, and raised her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her lips. , Nangong Qiuhu pretended not to see their small movements, and asked, "Jingshen, why are you here?"

Only then did Nangong Jingshen turn around and salute: "Your Majesty, Rong Jin came with me. The banquet is about to start. I'm here to find him to go with me."

Nangong Qiuhu looked at the sky outside and said, "Then you guys go there first."

The two bowed and retreated.

Nangong Qiuhu looked at the two people who left together with an unclear expression.

"Let me see!" Walking to a corner, Nangong Jingshen pulled Rong Jin under the lamp in the corner, raised his chin, leaned over, and confirmed again carefully.

"I told you it's nothing wrong." From too close, Rong Jin could clearly feel Nangong Jing's deep breathing, and he looked away uncomfortably.

Ever since he knew that Nangong Jing had kissed him deeply that night, he had a faint feeling that something was quietly changing between the two of them. When he had never seen Nangong Jingshen before, he only felt that this person was an extraordinary figure in the Nangong royal family. After seeing him, he didn't seem to have the deserted and thin personality rumored by outsiders. Of course, he might have restrained himself in front of him. Anyway, he felt that this person would be a good friend to him.

In this world, due to many reasons, the only real close friend he has is Wei Young, and he doesn't mind adding another one, but his wishful thinking was broken by the kiss that night, and he doesn't believe that Nangong Jingshen didn't know that He didn't fall asleep at all that night, maybe he didn't notice it at first, but later he felt Nangong Jingshen's ambiguous movements, and he lost his sense of control in shock, and couldn't hide the fact that he didn't sleep at all, but in this situation Now, instead of giving up, Nangong Jingshen kissed him aggressively. The meaning of the announcement can be imagined, this is the conclusion he came to after thinking for a few days.

"How did you offend the emperor? I haven't seen the emperor lose his composure in so many years." His uncle Huang gave people the impression that he could be gentle and elegant, or harsh and stern, but he never lost his composure.

"I don't know either. As soon as my father was mentioned, the emperor became angry." Regarding the past, he doubted that Nangong Jingshen would know something about it, so it should be a good excuse to move out his father.

"I think so, try not to mention Prince Rong in front of the emperor in the future. Even if the emperor asks you, you should try to say as little as possible. As for Princess Rong, you'd better not mention it at all." Nangong Jing deeply doubted him, And exhorted one by one.

"Oh, why?" Nangong Jingshen, you really know.

"I can't explain clearly for a while, just listen to me." You know, sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing, especially when the royal family is involved, the less you know, the better.

"Okay, I see." Rong Jin saw patrolling guards passing by in the distance, and signaled Nangong Jingshen to take Kaizao's hand on her shoulder.

"Rong Jin." Nangong Jingshen called him suddenly.

Rong Jin raised her head upon hearing this.As soon as her waist tightened, she was wrapped in Nangong Jing's arms, and her cold lips pressed against her. Rong Jin felt that the corners of her injured lips were being gently licked by the tip of his tongue...

"Nangong... um..." Rong Jinfu opened his mouth, the tip of his soft tongue pried open his teeth, drove straight in, and swept everything forcefully. Rong Jin's arm reached the back of Nangong Jingshen's neck, and a hand knife was about to come down, but was caught Sudden sucking on the tip of her tongue, her waist was sore and limp, she let go of the strength in her hands, and could only let Nangong Jingshen take what she wanted.

"Rong Jin..." Rong Ji, who was standing not far away, witnessed all this, the baby's arm-thick branch snapped off at the sound, and a black storm gradually brewed in his eyes. "Why? Why do you want to rob me of everything? Whether it's father or cousin, why don't you let go of anything."

Nangong Jingshen and Rong Jin, who were immersed in the world of the two of them, naturally did not see this.

"Rong Jin, you have to remember that no matter what happens in the future, I will always stand by your side." Nangong Jingshen whispered on Rong Jin's lips.

The main hall of Jinxiu Palace is Fengxuan Hall, which was newly decorated tonight for Empress Daning's birthday. The brightly lit places all showed the luxury and wealth of the royal family.

Rong Jin's seat is not bad, after all, there is the position of the prince's son here, but it's really unpopular, don't say how far it is from Nangong Jingshenli, even Rong Ji, who is wearing a royal blue county royal uniform How many seats are higher than him, but there is less entertainment from the superiors. If you ignore the sight of the surrounding people, and drink by yourself, you will enjoy yourself.Taking a deep look at Nangong Jing from a distance, he seemed to have sensed something. He, who was socializing with everyone indifferently, showed a slight smile and raised his glass from afar.

"You are luckier than us." A boy's voice beside him sighed.

Some familiar voices made Rong Jin calm down and looked at the people around him. The two teenagers in green silk clothes with narrow sleeves were very conspicuous in the palace uniforms, not to mention adding these two pieces together. The outstanding appearance of both male and female is the same, but Rong Jin just deliberately ignored it.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mu Jia, Prince Mu Ya." Rong Jin nodded in greeting. Just now in the garden, the two of them kept their heads down, and Rong Jin didn't look at them. Now it seems that these two teenagers are probably younger than him smaller.He should be only fifteen or sixteen years old. His older brother Mu Jia looks cowardly. On the contrary, his younger brother Mu Ya can sometimes have disproportionate ruthlessness flashing through his eyes under his docile appearance, but is Mu Jia really cowardly or is he hiding it too much? Well, Rong Jin didn't really want to study it. It wasn't until soon after Rong Jin really fell on this person that she realized a truth: Sometimes a person who seems to be careless can easily change your life.Of course, Rong Jin doesn't have the ability to predict, so it's fun to chat with the two of them at this time.

"The emperor is here!" The eunuch's shrill voice came into the hall.The empress who was seated at the top took the lead and brought her two sons and daughters, Nangong Jingnian and Nangong Qingyun, to the entrance of the main hall.

Wearing a black court dress, embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, the emperor's noble posture is fully displayed, and everyone bows to the ground, shouting long live.

"Zitong, hurry up, today is your birthday, and today is the biggest birthday person." At that time, Tianzi gently bent down, and personally helped the woman who was dressed in orange-yellow queen-like clothes.

The emperor and empress walked towards the upper position by arming each other.

"The relationship between the emperor and the empress is really good." Mu Jia toasted Rong Jin again. The empress and empress are deeply affectionate, the family is happy and happy, and others are envious.

The emperor and empress of Daning have always been a role model for husbands and wives in the world. The two have been together for decades, which is not easy in ordinary people's homes, let alone in emperors' homes.In the folk, if you ask around, you can hear a few short stories about the deep love between the emperor and the empress.Today's son only favored the empress Liu's family, and neglected the three thousand beauties in the harem. At one time, the emperor wanted to expel the harem for the empress, but was jointly opposed by all the ministers. Although the harem was preserved, it is said that the emperor has a cold attitude towards other concubines. Today, the emperor has only one son and one daughter under the empress's knees, and the number of heirs can be considered thin.

Of course, this is all on the surface, but in private, this empress of the Liu family has been given the notoriety of "the most jealous woman in the world".It was rumored that she was very jealous, and all the children conceived by the emperor's lucky concubines and other concubines were secretly dealt with by this Liu family.

"Father, my son and minister have something to ask." Everyone in the hall mingled with each other, and some people stood up to congratulate from time to time, but at this moment, they suddenly saw the current eldest princess Qing Yun kneeling in front of the empress case, and said.

This was originally a banquet for foreign ministers. According to the rules, although the status of the eldest princess is honorable, men and women are different after all, so they should be avoided. But everyone knows that the emperor cherishes his children very much. Seeing the eldest princess here, no one came out No, it's just that what will the eldest princess do today.

A few days ago, the eldest princess knelt in front of Qian'an Hall in the early court, held Chen Ben in her hand, counted the crimes of Rong's father and son, and asked the emperor to annul his engagement with Rong Wang's son. It has not been a few days, and everyone is still vivid Now, what is the eldest princess singing now, everyone holds their voices and waits for the next sentence.

"Qing Yun has something to say, you can't say it to your father in private, you must tell it at your mother's birthday banquet?" The emperor gave Liu Shi another chopstick dish, and then he said with some doting.

"Father," Qing Yun pouted with a little daughter's delicate expression, and then said, "I think you can fulfill Rong Ji and me."

"What did you say, I didn't hear clearly, Qing Yun said it again." The emperor put down the wine glass that was handed to his lips, and the smile on his lips faded a bit.

"Your majesty, don't be angry with Yun'er. He grew up with Rong Ji's childhood sweetheart, and it is inevitable that he has his own little daughter's thoughts. The eldest princess and I also know about this. We are also happy to see it." It's done." Seeing that the situation was not good, Mrs. Liu hurried out to smooth things over.

"But after all, Qingyun used to be..." Everyone said it without saying a word.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to marry Princess Qingyun, and I don't care about the past. After all, it's not the princess' fault. It's my brother who is not worthy of the princess." Rong Ji stepped out of his position and knelt down, begging sincerely.

"Your Majesty, I didn't want to say anything at first, but these two children can be regarded as the ones we have seen since childhood. You know that they are pure-minded. Originally, if Linyang Rong continued to be loyal to the court, although I was worried, I would He will marry Yun'er to Prince Rong's son, but now, Prince Rong's mansion rebelled first, and now it is said that Prince Rong's conduct is...slightly flawed, since Yun'er has nothing to do with Prince Rong's mansion, Rong Ji killed his relatives righteously this time, After making great achievements, wouldn't these two children get the best of both worlds together? What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"Father, I am your only daughter, don't you love me?"

At this time, many officials who can wink have stood up and echoed.

Just said here; "The princess and the county king are really talented and beautiful, and they are a natural match."

There came up again: "The princess and the county king are childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts, they are a perfect pair."

The emperor waved his hand to calm down the crowd, his meaningful eyes passed over the crowd, and fell directly on Rong Jin who was listening to Mu Ya's vivid and vivid scenery of Beiyuan.

"Rong Jin, what do you think?" The thoughtful person already knew that this was the emperor's way of embarrassing the son of Prince Rong. As the one who was divorced, what position did he have to speak now.

"Father, what are you asking him for? He's just a traitor." Sure enough, Princess Qing Yun couldn't help it.

"I don't know what the emperor asked Weichen?" Rong Jin seemed to have never seen Princess Qingyun, and asked after saluting to the emperor.

"I ask you, what do you think of the princess's proposal?" The emperor signaled to Princess Qingyun to be calm.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty, because no one told me to listen to the princess, so just now I was asking Prince Muya Beiyuan Fengguang, and I didn't hear anything from the princess?" Let alone a proposal.

Rong Jin's answer was calm and calm, and everyone heard it like a storm, sweating coldly for the son of Prince Rong, but there were also many people who admired this man's courage. Even if the Linyang Rong family fell, how could it be so good? Humiliated, many of the old ministers present at the same time recalled the unruly figure many years ago, and looked at the child who is being humiliated now, they couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Suddenly, the huge and magnificent Fengxuan Palace also brought A bit of coolness.
