The prince of buns

No matter how beautiful Feng Kuan's thoughts are in his heart, he can't get what he wants when things come to an end.

Let's just say that he suppressed his temper and waited for three or four days. He didn't wait for the good news that Qi Mu'an agreed to sell the property to him, but the bad news that the prince would regain his freedom and then go to court.

In this way, Qiu Shou, who had always been accompanied by the prince, would no longer be the third prince Fu Xiu alone.

Although today the emperor just said a few more words with the prince in a pleasant manner, everything will change after the court.

Those old foxes who have been adhering to the principle of keeping quiet, watching more and talking less, are naturally all secretly laughing. Fortunately, they have not switched to the camp so soon. Is this not a good thing to live again?

And those who follow the wind and want to follow the third prince to fight for wealth and wealth in the risk, it is a regret at the moment, of course, it is more of a fear, that the prince will settle accounts with them after autumn!

Fortunately, these things have little influence on Qi Mu'an. First of all, his own father is in a daze right now, obsessed with masculinity every day, and he can't care about such a high-end and high-end government affairs. He took care of it.

How can there be a chance to stand on the wrong team if you don't ask?

As for the Xue family, Duke Lu is a standard old fox. The prince has been under house arrest for the past few days. He has never expressed his opinion at all, and even reduced the recreational activities at the dinner party. .

Old General Jian is the emperor's direct descendant who only obeys the emperor's orders, a person who controls the military power in the whole country, let alone a momentary struggle between the princes, even if the prince is changed today, he still only recognizes who is the prince. emperor.

There is no bad effect, and there is an advantage, that is, the business of the hot spring hall and several places has begun to flourish again, and the popularity has greatly increased.

Therefore, Qi Mu'an happily counted the money while preparing his daughter's sweet full moon wine.

It was Jian Yunchen's idea to give her daughter a nickname of Tiantian. Qi Mu'an couldn't accept that the ice-like guy could have such a cute name at first, but just look at her daughter's big bright and smiling eyes Don't say it, I really think this is the right name!

And the real master of this turmoil - Prince Fu Zhong, is far less carefree than him.

It turned out that under the empress's rescue at all costs, although the emperor believed that there was no affair between the two sons as mentioned in the rumors, after all, there was already a pimple in his heart, so he issued an order to pardon Fu Zhong at the same time. A decree ordered Xiang Wang Furen to leave Beijing within seven days and go to his fief Yaozhou.

Since the founding of this dynasty, there have been six generations of emperors, and they always asked the brothers of the new emperor to leave the capital when the old emperor passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne, but it was the first time that King Xiang was treated like this.

Therefore, the entire Prince Xiang Mansion was shrouded in an atmosphere of panic.

Princess Zheng rubbed her forehead wearily, and impatiently dismissed the three concubines who came to inquire about the news.

The big maid beside her, You Lan, spat viciously at the just-closed door with disdain.

"You talk to each other. Isn't it just because you are afraid of going to Yaozhou to suffer hardships with the prince? No matter how precious they are, can they be more precious than you, the master? If you don't speak, they have the face Run out to complain!"

Mrs. Zheng sighed helplessly, "If you don't like it in your heart, let's talk about it behind closed doors, but don't flinch in front of them, those few are not ordinary people's concubine after all."

It's embarrassing to say, when Fu Rengui was the crown prince, the crown princess and several side concubines around him were of course found according to the standards of the future mother of the country and the four major wives.

Not to mention how prominent this Concubine Xiang, that is, the Zheng family of the former Crown Princess, was from, even the three concubines just now, the influence of their natal families cannot be underestimated.

It's just that time doesn't wait for me. Who knows that the prince Fu Ren has done a good job, so why was he deposed?

As a result, all of them, who were so outstanding in the past, became phoenixes with hair loss. There is no place to talk about their suffering.

Moreover, King Xiang has gradually started to practice Taoism in the past two years, and he has long been out of touch with women. Although he respects her as a concubine, it is only respect.

To those few people, she didn't even look straight at her. They didn't want to stay away from their natal family and go to the countryside and mountains with him to endure hardships. She could understand it in her heart, and she didn't want to either!

But the so-called marry a chicken as a chicken and marry a dog as a dog, she has no choice but to feel bored and unhappy.

At this time, two more nuns came in to report on packing their luggage. After she dismissed them one by one, she planned to go inside and talk to Fu Ren. It seemed that he still needed a few soft words in front of them. Only the breath in my heart can be swallowed.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to go out, the little maidservant came to report that the prince had arrived.

A hint of imperceptible disgust flashed across her originally peaceful face, and she sat back in her seat after much hesitation.

You Lan probed softly: "What's wrong, Master?"

Zheng Shi gritted her teeth and pinched the handkerchief in her hand, after a while Fang Youyou said: "Forget it, the prince is here, afraid of discussing important matters with the prince, we women should avoid it."

But he said that when Fu Zhong arrived at Prince Xiang's mansion, it was as if he was at his own home, and he walked into Fu Ren's "Qingxiu" inner courtyard without any notification.

On weekdays, Fu Ren lives here alone in the name of cultivating Taoism, not to mention that concubines are not allowed to come near, even Zheng Shi, if he wants to see him, he has to send someone to inform him first, lest he will be disturbed.

Since Fu Ren was drugged by the queen, not only the child lost, but also most of the adult's body was injured. It has been more than half a month now, and the lower part is still bleeding from time to time, and his complexion is even worse.

Had to stay in bed most of the time.

Seeing Fu Zhong coming in now, he couldn't help frowning deeply.

"What is the point of this, what are you doing here!"

After finishing a sentence, he was already out of breath, clutching his belly and bent down. Fu Zhong hurriedly went up to help him lie down, and patted his heart lightly to ease his breathing.

"I know that you are afraid that the third child will make another moth, but can I just watch you being kicked out of the capital and stay at home as a shrinking turtle?"

Seeing his stubborn expression, Fu Ren couldn't help stretching out his hand to gently touch his face. His younger brother has been like this since he was a child, but this strong expression made him feel distressed.

"You are not joking, since the father has made the decree, do you still want to resist the decree? Let me think that it is good to leave the capital at this time. My body is ruined. Staying by your side will only drag you down. If I am not here, you will not be here." It’s so hard to deal with the third child wholeheartedly. The child seemed to have a scheming heart when he was young, but he just kept hiding it and didn’t let it out.”

Fu Zhong snorted contemptuously, "It's just him? He only uses those low-level tricks to plot against people. He's very low-key, just like his own mother. I don't care! It would be a good thing if you want to relax in the past, but now you have not recovered at all, how can you stand the fatigue of traveling?"

Seeing Fu Ren's pale face, Fu Zhong's heart couldn't help but tugged.

Knowing that he suffered from a sore waist and abdomen due to miscarriage, she thoughtfully rubbed him gently all the time.

The two brothers cuddled each other in silence for a long time, Fu Renfang hesitated and said, "Actually, I have nothing to do here. I plan to leave the day after tomorrow, so as not to procrastinate until the last day and ask the third child to watch a joke."

Fu Zhong hugged him tightly from behind, buried his head in the socket of his shoulder and did not speak, his eyes were slightly red.

After a while, Fang murmured: "Is there anything I haven't followed you since I was a child? You can choose whatever day you want. But you have to promise me that I will send some proper people to escort you there."

Fu Ren nodded without hesitation, he didn't worry about it, Fu Zhong's capable generals were much easier to use than the few remaining soldiers and crabs around him, and he admitted it.

But what he didn't expect was that he was planning to send Jian Yunchen to lead the team.

"A-Chen gave birth for less than a month, so it's really difficult for him to travel across mountains and rivers."

Fu Zhong curled his lips indifferently, "What is he, can you be embarrassed by someone who has been pampered since childhood? When we send him, it means trusting him and valuing him. Let alone him, even his father belongs to our family. A dog?"

As soon as Fu Ren heard what he said, he was conceited, and quickly reprimanded him: "The more you talk, the more shameful it becomes. Old General Jian has made many contributions to my dynasty. Fortunately, you are still a prince. How come you even forgot the words Lixian Corporal?" , to say such vulgar words."

When Fu Zhong saw that he was angry, he dared not tell, but he muttered unconvinced: "Corporal Lixian is also in front of them, so we are not allowed to talk about what is in our hearts after closing the door? Don't mention the two of them, the father and son of the Jian family. In my mind, the civil and military forces of the whole dynasty can’t compare to you! Besides, I don’t want that kid to die, if he escorts you well, I’ll reward him when he comes back!”

After speaking, he hugged Fu Ren's neck and kissed him affectionately. Fu Ren had always had nothing to do with his childish sarcasm. Thinking about the imminent parting, he had no choice but to let him go.

"When I succeed to the throne, the first imperial decree I will issue is to call you back to Beijing."

Fu Zhong reluctantly made the promise amidst the gasps one after another, but Fu Ren didn't say anything, but patted the back of his hand lightly like coaxing a child.

That night, no matter how Fu Ren tried to persuade him, Fu Zhong kept pestering him and refused to go back to the house. He just hugged him and talked about when he was a child, and talked about the fun of guessing each other's minds until dawn the next day. Fang reluctantly took advantage of the last piece of night to leave.

The first thing the next morning was to call Jian Yunchen to his face.

Don't think it's okay for him to understate in front of Fu Ren, in fact, he really has a reason to use Jian Yunchen.

Because Yaozhou is located in the southern border of the country, in the past ten years or so, it has been a three-way zone where bandits are rampant, and there are barbarians in the south who harass and cause trouble.

Jian Yunchen had the experience of stationing there to fight wars, he knew both the geography and the people's sentiments very well, and he was indeed the most skillful and strategic person he could mobilize so far. Besides him, who else could What would be more appropriate?

For the sake of Fu Ren's safety, he had to be an unreasonable master once, pretending to forget the fact that Jian Yunchen was also weak after giving birth.

Jian Yunchen remained calm after hearing his request.

It is very common for the so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days to be used for a while.

What's more, because of the queen, he knew something about the affairs between Fu Zhong brothers, and it was indeed safer to send him than to send others.

In the past, he would have nodded and agreed without even thinking about it, but now the only one he is reluctant to part with is Qi Mu'an and his daughter.

After all, the husband and wife are deeply in love, and the daughter is still in her infancy.

This trip is not a simple escort mission. You can go back and forth as soon as you go. According to Fu Zhong, there are many things in southern Xinjiang. If Fu Ren wants to live there safely for a long time, someone needs to rectify it for him. No arrangement can be completed within a year or a half.

So when he told Qi Mu'an about his new mission, that guy's first reaction was almost furious.

"How can that be done?! The crown prince is too callous. You have just given birth and our child is not yet full moon. He will send you so far away! Since Yaozhou is a border gate, isn't there any guards? They can let you Can King Xiang be taken away by wolves? If you want you to stay and train for him, he still thinks that the two brothers are not worthy of the emperor's attention?"

This makes sense, not to mention King Xiang, even the crown prince has no right to train troops privately.

Therefore, although the job he did for Fu Zhong this time was actually training a team of elite soldiers who could be used by him to protect him, but it can only be said that it was training a few bodyguards that could be used.

"Also, isn't the emperor suspicious of the two of them? You belong to the prince, so he used you for King Xiang so blatantly? Aren't you afraid of making people pull your pigtails?"

The more Qi Mu'an thought about it, the more unreliable he felt.

Jian Yunchen hugged his daughter and looked intently at her sleeping face, and Qi Mu'an's jumping up and down in anxiety, he could only sigh helplessly.

"So this time I can only tell the outside world that the crown prince sent me out to do some errands. As for what to do, I can't go into details. I will also disguise myself when I am with King Xiang. At least I can't be recognized by people within the three provinces of Gyeonggi."

Damn, if you have an accident outside, is it the same as those in those American movies: our CIA will not admit it at all!

Qi Mu'an was so angry that the top of his head was about to smoke. If it wasn't for fear of waking up his daughter, he would have rushed to grab his wife's arm and shake him awake.

"Ah, ah! Let me say, let me tell you, can't you temporarily put aside the nonsense that the king wants the minister to die and the minister has to die, and think about it for me and my daughter? Let's not talk about the dangers of your trip, just When you really have God bless General Changsheng, the bandits on the road can’t kill you, and the foreign bandits can’t kill you when you get there. After a year or two, you come home, and our daughter doesn’t know you anymore! You know how much you have to miss What? The first step for a daughter to walk, the first step for a daughter!"

As he spoke, he gradually became incoherent, and he almost cried out of disappointment, but Jian Yunchen just looked at him quietly, and after a while, he called the nanny to come in and take Tiantian away, and walked slowly to his side sit down.

"I don't know why people say you are a dumb king. I have been married to you for a year, but I think you are smarter than the world. But in the world, there is no king. No matter how smart you are, you have magical powers. Can you twist a word from the royal family? What's more, no matter whether it is your Wei Guogong's mansion or our Jian's family, they have been loyal and loyal for generations, and it should be the same when we are here."

Hearing his wife's words, for the first time Qi Mu'an felt a sense of powerlessness in his futile struggle.

Yes, he used a modern person's idea of ​​​​valuing family and putting family first, to communicate with an ancient person's idea of ​​being loyal to the emperor, patriotism, loyalty and filial piety. Where is the gap?Where can I get through?

But what to do, this unreasonable ancient person is his wife, the partner he fell in love with unknowingly, and the lover he is determined to fight side by side with for the rest of his life.

Thinking about it, I can only squeeze out a wry smile that is more bitter than Coptis chinensis.

"Then what's the matter, Mrs. Jane is away on business, and the villain will watch over your baby at home! I don't care, you have to make it up to me! Damn!"

Before he finished speaking, the heat from the man's lips was already in his ears. Jian Yunchen saw him gnashing his teeth and unwillingly, which was really funny. Besides, he couldn't let it go in his heart. Ever since Tian'er was born, they have been Being well-behaved, it is inevitable to endure hard work at a young age, and now he has no choice but to let him close the door in broad daylight and do the bad things he likes to do.

In the afternoon, Jian Yunchen went to his father's house and briefly said that he was going out on a business trip, but he didn't tell him that he would be away for a long time.

The old man thought to himself that his son could not be a person who could settle in the inner courtyard to sew and mend. Since the crown prince is willing to use him, he should be let, right?

The mourning on the Hound Mountain and the death of a general before the battle are not sad things. The saddest thing is that a general huddled in a deep house compound for the rest of his life, instead of dying, he suffered.

So he readily ordered someone to pour shochu and drink a few glasses with Aizi, and regarded it as a practice for him.

According to the rules, one should also go to Qi's house to say hello, who knows that Master Qi is unhappy today because Princess Jiahe once again refused him to accept Xu Sanlang, and when he heard that Jian Yunchen was going to go on a business trip, he didn't try hard Hold him and vent your anger.

"You child, why are you so confused? You are a member of our Qi family, and you are the only one around the boss. Now you are out to show off, what should the boss do? Called a day?"

These words were harsh, but they pierced Jian Yunchen's heart, so facing his father-in-law's merciless reprimand, he could only suffer in silence.

It was Jiahe Princess who came out to smooth things over.

"The master loves his son, but there is always a priority in everything. Can we say no to the prince's order? Since the boss has agreed, the master should not worry about it. In my opinion, we will wait until the end of the new year. After leaving the house, the house becomes more and more deserted, since you feel sorry for the boss who is having a hard time alone, why don't you ask him to come back, we are together as a family, so that we can take care of each other."

This made Master Qi's heart move.

Thinking about how lively the family was at the beginning, with the Ruan family in charge, three sons and three daughters under their knees, which year and festival were not lively?

Now the Ruan family is gone, so is the second child, the third child often lives in the camp and never comes back, the eldest child has moved away, the third daughter has entered the palace, the eldest daughter is about to leave the court, and the only one left in the family is getting more and more confused The worry-free second daughter, thinking about it, is not only deserted, it can be said to be withered!

This is not the appearance of a prosperous family!Perhaps the boss should be called back.
