Chapter 31 Good brother, there is no more hard bone that I will never dare to chew

But it is said that on the official road in the night snow outside the palace, Yongan rode his horse and galloped, and Lianxi and Xiangyu followed closely behind him on horseback.

A group of Habayashi guards followed the prince from afar.

Yongchen's depression has not yet been resolved, the horse under the crotch can't hold it anymore.

Originally, the horse that Lianxi snatched from the guards guarding the palace gate was not considered a steed.

Seeing Yongchen slowing down, Lianxi hurriedly urged the horse forward, facing the wind of knives blowing from his pocket, he smiled cautiously: "Master, you see, Jia's mansion is two streets away—let's go see Miss Lin? You sent someone to deliver a pre-holiday gift, and I don't know if Miss Lin likes it..."

Yongchen didn't feel in the mood to go to Jia's mansion right now, he just kept his face sullen and didn't speak, he simply let go of the reins and let the horse walk around on its own.

He sat on the horse by himself, and as the horse walked, his body was bumped up and down, and his mood also fluctuated up and down.

After all this unrestrained trust, he actually came to Master Cai's house near the city gate.

The small courtyard with gray tiles and white walls lies in the snowy night, quiet and serene.

Yong Chen sat on the horse, and could vaguely see the light from the red lanterns in the courtyard gate.

Presumably, Master Cai didn't know about the death of his only son—the secret report from the imperial court only arrived this afternoon.

I'm afraid that master Cai will not know about this disaster until tomorrow when his father issued a decree for compensation and commendation.

At this moment, Master Cai must be waiting for his children and grandchildren to return.

Yong Chen felt sad, he couldn't bear to stay here any longer, as soon as he turned his horse's head away, he wanted to go out of the city.

If you leave the city at this time, it will be difficult to come back.

Lianxi and Xiangyu exchanged glances, and they hurried forward to stop Yongchen to persuade him.

Lianxi said cautiously: "Master, it's okay to go out for a stroll. If you don't return home at night, neither the East Palace nor the Yichun Palace can rest assured." Then he said: "If you don't want to go back now, why don't you go to the flower house on the East Street? A few days ago, shopkeeper Qian also said that the two clivia plants that the Lord ordered to be divided into pots last time have been fed, and they are full of energy and good looks..."

Yong Chen only said: "I have a sense of proportion. The row of bluestone slabs at the bottom of the city wall is full of moonlight. I will go there to relax, and I will not leave the city."

So he went to the root of the city wall.

Snow is not allowed on the bluestone slabs at the root of the city wall. Soldiers have piled the remaining snow to both sides of the road, exposing the smooth bluestone slabs.

At this moment, there is no one on the road, and the moonlight falls on the bluestone slab, like frost and snow but not like frost and snow.

It seems that people's hearts are quiet.

After an unknown amount of time, Yong Chen took a deep breath, wiped his face and sighed: "Go back."

Lianxi and Xiangyu hurriedly followed, but saw that he didn't go on the way back to the palace, but went around to the East Street and stopped in front of the flower shop.

At this moment, the door of the shop has already been closed, and there is only one clerk sleeping in the front to guard the shop.

Hearing that the owner of the palace was coming, all the treasurer Qian's family in the backyard rushed out to welcome them, and lit the lights in the shop again.

It's not the first time for Yongchen to come here, he walked to the flower house in the shed next door in a familiar way.

Seeing that the master's expression was wrong this time, unlike the usual smiley look, shopkeeper Qian couldn't help feeling uneasy, took advantage of Yongchen walking in front, pulled Lianxi, killed a chicken and wiped his neck with winks, begging for understanding.

Lianxi only waved his hands, telling him not to talk nonsense, and together with Xiangyu, he followed Yongchen into the greenhouse.

The lights in the greenhouse are on all night to encourage the flowers to bloom. Although it is the middle of winter, there are flowers of all seasons in the greenhouse.

Under the big wall lamp in the middle, there are two pots of Clivia placed on a log half an inch above the ground.

There are more than a dozen bones on the slim flower stems, the bottom is light yellow, and the edge is orange.

Yongchen bent down to count the flowers, and saw thirteen flowers in the pot on the left and fourteen flowers in the pot on the right.

The combination is exactly the life expectancy of Prince Yongzhan this year.

Yong Chen said: "Pretend it well and send it to the palace tonight. Come back with me."

Lianxi agreed, "I'll go find Shopkeeper Qian right away." Saying that, he left the greenhouse.

Yong Chen stood among the flowers with his hands behind his back, staring at the colorful eyes.

He suddenly asked Xiangyu behind him, "Is it wrong for me to run out like this tonight?"

Xiangyu's real name is Zhao Changji, and he is the youngest son of the third wife of Yongping Houfu.

He is different from Lianxi's jumping temperament, he is calm and honest.

Usually never ask him any questions, and he rarely speaks on his own initiative.

Seeing and asking, Xiangyu was silent for a moment, and said directly: "You have overstepped tonight. The East Palace is the East Palace after all."

That is the half-jun, and the elder brother.

With Yongchen's attitude tonight, it's justified to grab him and hit the board.

In fact, Yongchen is not afraid of hitting the board, he is just annoyed at the moment, afraid of hurting the heart of the prince's brother.

The trip to Master Cai's house made him realize that he was actually sad and powerless.

Only then did I truly understand what Master Cai said that day, "Concentration is not enough for everything, but strength is needed."

This encounter was a lesson that made his mouth smell bloody.

For a while, shopkeeper Qian packed the two pots of Clivia properly, covered them with cotton-wrapped wooden frames, and tied them to the carriage.

Yong Chen had something on his mind, so he just led the horse and walked slowly.

There are a few vendors setting up stalls here and there on the overpass, but at the bottom of the bridge is a hundred-year-old pharmacy "Runsheng", which specializes in pills for health maintenance and conditioning.The palace called several times, but the family only refused to call.

The pharmacy was about to close, and Yong Chen went in.

Not long after, Yongchen came out again, and this time he went straight back to the palace.

In Yuqing Palace, Prince Yongzhan is still waiting for his younger brother in the study.

After waiting for a long time without seeing anyone, the prince was unavoidably worried, because he waved his hands to make all the attendants retreat and be alone for a while.

Su Danmo withdrew from Dunben Hall, and saw Chang Hong, the eunuch next to Yong'an, bent over to meet him.

This Chang Hong and Chang Qing, the chief eunuch of Yichun Palace, are godbrothers, and they were only transferred to Yong Chen's side for three months.

He had just come to serve Yong'an, and when Yong'an confronted Emperor Jing Long and got kicked and broke two ribs, he was not afraid.

I had already given my little master the title of "Overlord" in my heart.

Tonight outside Qianqing Palace, Chang Hong was also waiting, together with Su Danmo, saw Yong Chen throwing his face and leaving.

Chang Hong was anxious and helpless, while sending someone to send a letter to his god-brother Chang Qing asking for advice, while waiting for Su Danmo.

"Eunuch Su, little brother, I really can't do anything here... If our master doesn't come back tonight, I can't replace my crime by letting my head go..." Chang Hong rubbed her hands, her face was blue and green Bai, I don't know if he was waiting for the cold in the snow, or because he was scared in his heart.

Su Danmo was calm, took the bong he handed over, took a puff, and said with a smile: "My brother, you are still a little tender."

Seeing that he was willing to speak, Chang Hong was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "That's exactly what brother said, I'm a newcomer, how can I get my master's pulse, and I hope you can tell me more..."

Su Danmo has a good relationship with Chang Qing. From Chang Qing's point of view, Yin reminded him: "Don't look at His Royal Highness waiting inside, worrying about it. If you care about it, you will be confused. Don't worry, in front of the key of the palace gate, Your Highness Be right back."

Chang Hong heard Lun's voice, she just smiled and said: "Brother, don't lie to me..."

"His Royal Highness and the Yichun Palace are all worried about your grandfather. Don't you worry about these two places?" Su Danmo exhaled smoke, squinted his eyes comfortably, and said, "I'm also looking at the little one." Your Highness has grown up——I still know a little bit about his temperament. He rushed out of the palace in front of him, and he might be thinking about the palace in less than half an hour, and his heart is not at ease..."

Chang Hong breathed a sigh of relief, even if she didn't believe Su Danmo's words, there was no other way at the moment, so she said again: "If His Royal Highness comes back, I'm only worried about his youthful vigor, if his words offend His Royal Highness , Brother Wanwang is right in front of you, be careful..." According to his thinking, at the gate of the Qianqing Palace, Yong Chen had lost his face and left; if he ran into him again in the Dunben Palace, wouldn't he be going to a higher level?

However, Su Danmo sneered, turned the smoking pot upside down, knocked it twice on the stone pier next to the verandah, and said with a smile: "According to me, brother, you are just worrying about it." He saw Chang Hong clearly If you don't believe me, you just say: "Just watch, your master will come back in a while. It must be one who bows and bows, joking and apologizing, and the other just laughs and doesn't say anything - you don't have to be afraid that your father will offend His Royal Highness again, There is no need to be afraid that His Royal Highness will be seriously annoyed and want to punish your father..."

While talking, he heard the door panel outside, Su Danmo smiled and said, "Look, you're back now?" He glanced at Chang Hong, with the meaning of "Look, I'll just say it" .

The two of them didn't bother to talk any more, they rushed to meet them.

Yong Chen trotted all the way until he stopped abruptly at the entrance of Dunben Hall, straightened his clothes, lowered his head and secretly cleared his throat, and then stepped across the threshold.

Before he could go in completely, he had already raised his voice and laughed, "Brother Prince, I'm back." There was a hint of embarrassment in the smile.

But he saw Prince Yongzhan sitting in front of the desk, holding a silver stove in his hand. Seeing him coming in, he moved as if waking up from a dream, and said gently: "It's good when you come back." His voice was hoarse, and he asked him again, "Hungry?" Right?" The eunuch asked the eunuch to bring up the porridge that had been hot all the time.

Yong Chen rubbed his hands that were a little stiff from the cold outside, and said with a smile: "Brother Prince, please use some with me—I remember you haven't had dinner yet?" Then he took off his outer clothes, walked over, and followed Prince Yongzhan sat down together for supper.

Yong Chen sat down, as if thinking of something again, he took out a glass bottle from his bosom, which contained golden mellow ointment.He handed the glass bottle to Su Danmo, and first said to the prince's elder brother: "Runshengtang's Qiuli ointment, his family started with this medicine." He then told Su Danmo, "This medicine moistens the throat and relieves asthma. It’s the best way to quench thirst and promote body fluids. Just take one silver spoon at a time, and dissolve it in warm water in a shallow porcelain bowl the size of your fist. It tastes sweet and effective..."

Prince Yongzhan sat across from him, only smiled and listened, and used wooden oranges to prop up the sill window to let in the fresh air from outside.

Su Danmo tried the autumn pear ointment, and it was no problem to test it out, so he presented it to the prince as Yongchen said.

Yong Chen and Prince Yong Zhan sat opposite each other at the table, one drank rice porridge and the other drank sweet water.

Halfway through eating, Yong Chen said again: "I just brought back two pots of Clivia from the east street flower house, both of which are covered with flower buds, and I guess it will be the time when they will bloom beautifully after your birthday. Let's put them in the small flower house for now. Li—would you like to see it?"

Prince Yongzhan drank half a bowl of autumn pear ointment water, and he really felt that his throat became a little moister, and when he spoke again, his voice became a little hoarse - not as painful as before.He just smiled and said, "It's late today, let's go and see it in the daytime."

"Alright." Yongchen didn't care either.

After dinner, tea was served again, and the two sat on the couch with their feet together.

Yong Chen called someone to fetch the big woolen clothes, spread them out, and put them on the legs of himself and the prince's elder brother, and said half aloud: "I will take the errand to Cai's family tomorrow, okay?" Sighed, the mood is still the same after all. Heavy, "I'm just worried about Master Cai, he's getting old, and he only has that one son..."

Prince Yongzhan listened, patted his younger brother on the shoulder reassuringly, and said gently: "Tomorrow, I will ask Su Danmo to accompany you."

Yongchen took advantage of the situation and tilted his head, rubbing his head against the palm of the crown prince's elder brother, and murmured: "God is not open, how come good people don't get rewarded?" Then he said bitterly, "It's a pity that I can't bear to fight the enemy now, You can't kill your enemies for Master Cai..."

Prince Yongzhan first coaxed in a warm voice: "It's not that you can't bear to fight the enemy, but the situation on the Shandong river is really complicated. It's not easy to dodge open spears, but it's even harder to defend against hidden arrows." After a while, he said: "You sixteen My brother is going to Shandong to suppress the bandits, so how about I leave it to you to handle the food and grass matters? I just want to say that Mr. Li, who is in charge of this area of ​​the household department, is your fifth brother's entourage, that is a tough bone..."

Yongchen sat up straight, stared at Prince Yongzhan with bright black eyes, and said seriously: "Good brother, there is no hard bone that I dare not chew on."
