Is the prince abolished today?

If it were someone else who gave gifts out of good intentions but was rejected so coldly by the other party, he might have retreated in embarrassment, but Jing Wang didn't change his face, and he still stood there as if nothing had happened, looking at the bright yellow boy's eyes, even revealing his innocence. He looked a little helpless, as if looking at his own disobedient child.

King Jing weighed the sachet in his hand, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is not deliberately making up such a lie in order to refuse the gift from the minister? If Your Highness really has a sachet from the elders, how can you forget it on such an important occasion?" Dai? I don't know which elder gave His Highness the sachet?"

Mu Yun frowned in disgust: "What does this have to do with you?"

"Of course it has something to do with the minister."

King Jing's eyes were full of pity: "Your Highness should understand that in this world, only I really care about Your Highness, and only I really want to help His Highness get out of this sea of ​​suffering. After three years, His Highness still wants to continue to be trapped in this deep palace. Do you live by looking at other people's faces? Doesn't Your Highness want to find your real relatives? This time I come here..."

"That's enough. Didn't King Jing want to know which elder sent the solitary sachet?"

The young man interrupted him coldly, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he smiled with a hint of malicious revenge: "It's the orphaned mother."

"The orphan's late mother, when she passed away, sewed a hundred blessing sachets for the orphan, which is enough for the orphan to wear until she is a hundred years old."

"If you don't wear it alone, you're just afraid of seeing things and thinking about others, which will only make you sad."

"No matter how good King Jing's sachet is, how can it compare with the lonely dead mother?"

Sure enough, King Jing's expression changed subtly, and he said suspiciously: "Your Highness, are you kidding me, Queen Duanhui doesn't know how to..."

"How can you know what the orphan mother will do or not?"

The young man's eyes were as sharp as a cold sword, and he stared straight into King Jing's eyes: "The orphaned queen mother not only sews sachets for the lonely father, but also sews sachets for the lonely father. The lonely mother queen loves the lonely father the most." Emperor—"

"Prince!"

A sharp shout interrupted the young man's words suddenly. It turned out that Emperor Changping, who was sitting on a high position, walked over at some time.Emperor Changping was drinking with his courtiers, but from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of King Jing giving a gift so ink-stained, he was afraid that his younger brother would say something nonsense to confuse his prince, so he couldn't sit still.

Mu Yun turned his head away.He didn't want to talk to the king, but he didn't want to talk to the cheap father.

"Why did the emperor come here?"

King Jing showed a look of surprise, and smoothed things over with a smile: "My brother was just chatting with His Highness the Crown Prince, but ended up accidentally talking about His Highness's late mother, Empress Duanhui. His Highness also made a mistake unintentionally. Brother, don't get angry."

Emperor Changping gave the fellow brother a meaningful look, but said nothing.

The servant who came with Emperor Changping couldn't help but wonder, the little prince just said a few words about the love between Empress Duanhui and Emperor Wu, so it was a slip of the tongue.In such a Dragon Boat Festival, it is normal for the little prince to miss his parents.It's too strange for the King Jing to speak.

"And this sachet."

King Jing didn't seem to notice the subtlety of the atmosphere at all, and pointed to the sachet in his hand to complain to Emperor Changping: "My brother also has good intentions. I saw that other princes at the palace banquet were wearing sachets presented by their elders, but His Highness did not." , so I specially made one for His Highness. There is no reason not to wear a sachet during the Dragon Boat Festival. Brother Huang, please help your Highness to persuade His Highness to accept it. It is not such an expensive gift, it is this minister. It's just a little thought of being the uncle of the king. Without the permission of the emperor, His Highness would be embarrassed to accept the gift from the minister."

Emperor Changping didn't respond immediately to respect the king, but subconsciously glanced at the waist of the young man opposite him, seeing that it was really empty, he couldn't help but wonder, his prince, didn't he just show off the sachet that Wei Zhao gave him two days ago What about the sachet?Why not?Run away with long legs?Or fly?

Emperor Changping questioned his crown prince with his eyes, but the young man just looked at him indifferently, like a porcelain doll without emotion.

Emperor Changping had no choice but to go up by himself.

So Emperor Changping, like an evil mother-in-law, looked critically at the sachet in King Jing's hand, frowned and said, "I heard that the sachet for blessing must be sewn by the elders, so that it can pray for blessings and ward off evil spirits. King Jing Ah, this sachet of yours was not sewn by you, but by the embroiderer, so it is probably inappropriate to give it to the prince."

The two brothers looked at each other for a moment, Jing Wang smiled and said: "What the emperor said is very true, this time it is the minister who did not think about it."

King Jing put the sachet back into the box, and said to the young man behind the case as warmly as a spring breeze: "It's okay, wait until next time, I will bring other gifts to Your Highness."

"Okay, King Jing, it's time for you to have a banquet."

Emperor Changping reminded him in a cold voice that he could hardly bear this bad-hearted fellow brother to stay with his prince for a moment longer.

Ever since the banquet began, Emperor Changping hadn't taken the initiative to speak a word to Empress Ji. As the head of concubines, Empress Ji was inevitably embarrassed.So after Emperor Changping took his seat, Empress Ji personally poured a glass of wine for the emperor, trying to provoke the topic: "It's really unusual to treat the prince to the prince. When I return to the capital to bring gifts to the prince, the other princes are only envious of him." portion."

Emperor Changping gave his empress an angry look: "Yes, does the empress feel pain in her face?"

"Ah?" Empress Ji was taken aback, subconsciously touched her face, but didn't realize what the emperor meant.

Emperor Changping sneered and said, "Didn't the empress see that King Jing is slapping me in the face, you in the face, and the entire royal family? He is sarcastic. We have so many elders, but none of them Someone prepares a blessing sachet for the prince, but he has to send it all the way. Do you really think he is kind enough to give the prince a gift?"

Anyway, no matter what other people think, Emperor Changping has his own logical and rigorous explanation for the behavior of this fellow brother, and no one can refute it.Heh, old fox, he wants to snatch his prince away, let alone a door, he doesn't even have a window!

Empress Ji's face turned pale, remembering the day before yesterday when the emperor called her to the Chengqing Hall to reprimand her, she hurriedly got up and left her seat, wanting to apologize.

"Okay." Emperor Changping was tired: "This is a palace banquet, the empress doesn't want to lose face, I want more."

"Yes..." Empress Ji unconsciously grabbed a corner of her skirt after she sat down and returned to the case.

After respecting the king, officials and envoys from all over the country offered congratulatory gifts one by one, and Emperor Changping rewarded them one by one, and ordered everyone to attend the table.After drinking for three rounds, Emperor Changping rewarded concubines and princes once a year.

"Prince."

When turning Mu Yun, Emperor Changping deliberately waved to the young man of Minghuang who was on the left chief.

Mu Yun: "..."

Although I don't really want to talk to the cheap father, but on this occasion, I still have to give the cheap father a face.Mu Yun put down the wine cup, and came to the court with a blank expression on his face.

"Guess the prince, what gift will I give the prince this year?"

Like Emperor Changping presenting a treasure, he mysteriously took out a hexagonal box from his back, and after asking, raised his eyebrows at King Jing who was sitting at the bottom.

According to the plot envisioned by Emperor Changping, his prince's eyes should be bright, and his eyes should be shining, asking him what is in the box with anticipation.

At this time, Emperor Changping will continue to exaggerate the atmosphere, continue to put eye drops on his uninterested younger brother, and when the eye drops are finished, he will completely relieve his anger, and then reveal the final answer.

However, facing the suspense raised by him, the boy opposite just looked at him expressionlessly, and even frowned impatiently, looking like an idiot.

Emperor Changping: "..."

Emperor Changping was very injured. In order to maintain the majesty of the emperor, Emperor Changping could only bite the bullet and continue acting by himself.

"Haha, the prince must have never thought of it. This year, I will give the prince three more mansions! They are all in the best locations in the suburbs of Beijing, and they were all purchased with the private money I have worked so hard to save!"

Learning from his younger brother's lesson, the witty Emperor Changping didn't open the box, but directly stuffed the box into the hands of his prince.

"I know that the prince likes the mansion I gave you the most. There is no need to thank you. The prince will continue to drink at the table."

Emperor Changping supported the lines of two people by himself, and when the boy on the other side finally got a little light in his eyes, and returned to the table with the box in his hands, Emperor Changping immediately showed a big proud and gratified feeling that belonged exclusively to his old father Smiling, and raised his eyebrows at his younger brother again.

Hehe, look, it is he, the emperor, who understands his prince's mind best!

His crown prince would only accept gifts from his father.Like some people's gifts, even if Baba sent them to him, his crown prince would never accept them!

In terms of Prince Xiu, Emperor Changping believed that he would never lose to any emperor throughout the ages.

On the side, Empress Ji's face twisted again.

In stark contrast to Empress Ji, Concubine Su Gui, who is good at brainstorming, is very calm.

"Your Majesty has always been frugal, and the rewards to other princes are small things for the occasion. Why do you only reward the prince's mansion?" Concubine Su elegantly drank the walnut dew freshly brewed by the maidservants, and said to Yimei and the nobles beside her. The beauty asks a question.

The two beauties shook their heads blankly.

"You guys, you really don't like to use your brains."

Su Guifei wiped the corner of her mouth gracefully: "Your Majesty rewards the prince generously on the surface, but in fact he wants to use one mansion after another to kill the prince's fighting spirit and make the prince a waste. Just imagine, the prince who is addicted to mansions every day, today Soaking in hot springs, going to the garden tomorrow, how can I still be in the mood to read articles, practice riding and archery, and how can I still be in the mood to think about those boring political affairs."

Yimei humbly asked for advice: "Sister's brain is so good, is it because she often drinks walnut dew?"

There was an eerie silence in the air.

The corners of Concubine Su Gui's mouth twitched, and she looked critically at the new beauty: "You say you have a bad brain, but you really don't have any brains at all."

"Your Majesty gave me the walnut dew to keep my youth forever and maintain a beautiful appearance. What does it have to do with my brain? Is my brain still need to rely on this stuff?"

"Yes……"

Yimei was puzzled, and Yimei was confused.Because in her hometown, every time the walnuts are ripe, the old people will collect the walnuts and boil them into walnut dew for the children to nourish their brains.

……

The banquet lasted until late at night. Mu Yun drank more wine, his face was slightly drunk, and the soles of his feet were a little weak. When he reached the jade steps, he was unsteady and almost fell. Fortunately, a hand was stretched out beside him to hold the boy steady hold on.

"Be careful, Your Highness. At your age, it's better to drink less alcohol."

The voice of kindness rang in my ears.Mu Yun turned his head, glared fiercely at King Jing, and immediately broke free from his support, and strode down the steps.

Seeing this scene from behind, Wei Zhao asked a military official with some seniority who had served in Beijing for a long time: "King Jing seems to treat the crown prince very differently. Why?"

"Indeed, on weekdays and festivals, even if King Jing is not in Beijing, he will specially send someone from Sichuan to present gifts to the crown prince, and those gifts are extremely valuable, far exceeding the standard for an uncle to treat his nephew."

The officer of the Ministry of War cautiously looked around, and said: "Does Marquis Wei not know that because of this, there is even a ridiculous rumor circulating in the palace, saying that the crown prince is actually not of Emperor Wu's blood, but... he is the son of King Jing. "
