Chapter 105: Peony Flowers That Eat Meat
Zhao Zhen felt that time passed quickly. Perhaps it was because the recent days had been too leisurely. Since Chen Lin came, my father has summoned him less and less. Even if he went to visit him, he would say something ordinary, as if nothing had happened. It was just that there were more and more guards in the palace.
The combo arrow squad, the long-range killing and injuring the imperial guards of the Zhoulu guards in the palace were patrolling day and night. This was impossible in the past. The killing of crossbow arrows on people is quite powerful, and they are caught off guard and can be assassinated from a long distance.
This kind of straight team is not allowed to appear in the ban. They often stand on the city wall. Zhao Zhen mentioned this matter to Chen Lin in a concealed manner, and he said: "The official's orders can only be implemented, so the prince should not ask about it!"
Since your kindness is regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs, don't make people disgusted. Anyway, you are not in the forbidden area. What's the matter with these imperial guards with crossbows?
Zhao Zhen was so angry that his father's suspicion that he didn't tell him about the gods? It's necessary to be so petty!
Zhao Zhen will never compromise, nor can he compromise in seeking immortality!
Seeing the prince stomping his feet away, Chen Lin smiled bitterly and shook her head: "I really want to father and son, even when he is angry... Chen Tong, what are you looking at? Why don't you give the meat soup to the official family? It won't be spared if it's cold!"
"I will go now...I will go now... But the Empress asked me to pass on a message to ask the prince to go to the Imperial Garden for dinner..."
Chen Tong stammered and replied, "Your High Officer Chen is in a bad mood recently, so you dare not offend him."
Frowning, Chen Lin took the cage in his hand and said, "Then you go and pass the message, why are you staying here?"
Chen Tong responded and trotted to chase the prince, leaving only Chen Lin muttering to himself: "What do the Empress want to do? Why did you suddenly remember to have a meal with the prince?"
Walking into the gloomy hall, the palace servants around him lowered their heads like wax figures, and they didn't dare to remain silent. Recently, the official family was extremely angry, and the eunuchs and palace maids were extremely careful, and no one dared to anger the fickle "true dragon".
But Chen Lin seemed to not feel the pressure, and smiled and walked towards Zhao Heng with a meat soup: "The official family is still angry with the prince?"
"No! I am angry with myself, why did I give birth to such a disobedient and unfilial thing!"
"The official family was still proud of the prince a few days ago, why did he change his temper?"
"Hmph! He actually refused to reveal anything to me after he got the immortal fate. Could it be that I would praise him instead?!"
Chen Lin smiled bitterly: "Why do the official family still believe in the sayings of gods? The prince did not gain any immortal fate, but had more insights after experiencing life and death. What can this mean? If there is a immortal, how can you be here now?"
Zhao Heng, who is usually rational, said at this time: "Isn't there a Lu Dongbin in southern Fujian? Taizu once..."
"His Majesty!"
Chen Lin raised her voice and interrupted: "Don't you understand the matter between Taizu and this "returning Taoist"?"
Zhao Heng relaxed his body dejectedly. How could he not know the reason? It was just Taizu's acting, but he really wanted to achieve immortality...
"Did Zhenru Yier say that he had not met an immortal?"
"What does Your Majesty think? Since Qin, all emperors have been looking for immortals in all dynasties, but the whole country has not found any strength. Doesn't this mean everything?"
Zhao Heng suddenly became furious and said, "These immortals live a free life, but Changsheng Tianyu refused to give me some advice, which also made me and my father and son separate my heart. It would be better not to find it!"
The anger of the government made the palace people not even dare to breathe, but Chen Lin was very happy. It seemed that the government was really completely disappointed with the search for immortals and asking about Taoism this time, otherwise he would not have cursed like this.
Zhao Zhen was very surprised at this time. The last time Liu E summoned herself to showdown, so why did she do this? Looking at Chen Tong who was in a hurry in front of her, she asked, "Why are you so nervous? I won't eat you."
"Ah?! I... I'm not nervous, I'm just a little inexplicably panic." He was thinking about the strangeness of the prince before, and suddenly he answered panic when he was asked like this.
"If you don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts calling you. You kid can't steal things from the palace?"
Zhao Zhen likes to joke with him the most, and asked with a smile, and did not forget to add: "If there is, I won't report you if I have one!"
Chen Tong was amused and crying. The prince had no airs at all, but what he said was easy to misunderstand.
"Your Highness is really good at joking. I don't have the courage. Official Chen is so powerful! I won't give you the servants in the Imperial Garden in front of me. The Empress has no longer liked me since she was reincarnated..."
"Gu knows that you said something you shouldn't say in front of the Empress, but Gu still wants to thank you!"
Zhao Zhen took a few steps and turned to Chen Tong in a daze, saying, "Eating more sweets or fruits will make you much better. Remember not to forget to eat breakfast!" This little eunuch probably has hypoglycemia, and Zhao Zhen felt it necessary to remind him.
Chen Tong, shocked, pinched himself hard: "Your Highness the Crown Prince actually said he thanked me?"
If you want to ask who is the person that the eunuchs and palace maids like in the palace, the answer is definitely His Royal Highness.
Officials disdained the eunuchs. The officials and the queen and concubines regarded them as slaves. Only the prince would treat them as ordinary people, and even liked to joke and joke. This feeling of respect made them extremely satisfied. Zhao Zhen did not discriminate against the eunuchs. In his opinion, compared with later generations, these people who entered the palace for a living were worthy of respect.
The Imperial Garden is at the end of the forbidden area, also known as the back garden. Except for the daily cleaning of the eunuchs and palace maids, there are no outsiders here. It is a place for the emperor's queen to rest and walk, with lush grass and trees and many rare treasures. This is definitely a good place for vacation and travel. Zhao Zhen secretly guessed that this was probably the reason why the queen asked him to come here to show off!
The little eunuch at the door immediately stepped forward after seeing him: "Your Highness, the Empress is waiting for you in the water pavilion, please come with me."
Looking at the little eunuch Zhao Zhen, he asked strangely: "Why are there all the young eunuchs who are as old as you in the back garden?"
"Return to the Crown Prince, this is what Concubine Yang Xian means. She said that it is difficult for the elderly eunuch to serve in the Houyuan, so she asked a young eunuch like me to serve here."
"Oh! So that's it..." Zhao Zhen nodded. It seemed that the little lady who raised him was a kind woman. She took special care of the older eunuchs in this imperial garden with difficulty in mobility.
Last time I came, I was nervous and had no time to visit the rare grass in the back garden, but I saw it very much that the Song people were more likely to enjoy flowers in the back garden. The chrysanthemums with a bowl mouth are not unusual. The golden petals show their nobility, and the peonies are even more colorful and bloody. However, Zhao Zhen hates this kind of flower the most.
