tea house(1/2)

The wind was strong and the snow was cold. The face of the King of Qi was also ugly.

King Chen is the younger brother of their prince, and he actually asked their prince to give way, which was too much to deceive others! However, King Chen was moody and did not even give the prince of the marquis's family. They were just a small prince, so they could only dare to be angry but not speak out.

King Qi saw that King Chen did not speak or move out of the way.

"Why, the Fourth Brother is unwilling to let go?" King Chen looked at King Qi and sneered: "I am not feeling well today and cannot bear the cold. If there is any offense, please forgive me!"

After saying that, he rode his horse and rushed directly over with a carriage.

The sound of horse hooves was getting faster and faster, without any ease.

Looking at the horses and carriages rushing towards him, King Qi remembered that when he was a child, he and Yun Duqing fell in love with a palace lantern at the same time. Yun Duqing and the eunuch fought with him directly, snatched the palace lantern and left.

"Prince, be careful!" The attendant pulled the horse under the King of Qi and avoided the side.

The carriage passed by King Qi, and the wind brought about blew the fox hair on his cloak.

"Prince, are you okay?" The servant looked at King Qi worriedly, and anyone could tell that if he hadn't pulled that just now, King Chen's carriage would really hit him.

"I'm fine." King Qi's face was as deep as water.

The carriage in front stopped, and King Chen, who was sitting high on the horse's back, turned his head and bowed to King Qi with a smile: "Thank you, Fourth Brother, for caring for your younger brother's health."

"King Chen, don't bully people too much!" One of the servants could not bear it anymore and said: "Are you not afraid of the world's sneering at your brother?"

"What do you have to do with you if my brother voluntarily gives way?" King Chen sneered: "The master has not spoken yet, but you, the servant, are here to interfere in order to provoke the royal brotherhood, and his heart is punished."

"Fourth brother, are you just watching this villain provoking the brotherhood between you and me?" King Chen smiled lazyly, "Look at the servants around me, when will we be bold and talkative when we talk?"

"Thank you for your concern. When I go back, I will be good at my servants around me." King Qi said in a cold tone: "Since my fifth brother is not well, please go back earlier. Don't be injured by the wind and snow."

"Fourth brother is kind, but I have a bad temper. If I see this villain following the fourth brother again in the future, I will personally help the fourth brother teach him a lesson." King Chen looked at the servant who was just talking: "We are not allowed to have such servants around the royal family."

The accompanying servant looked pale, and he knelt on one knee on the ground, not daring to say much.

"Thank you for your reminder from the fifth brother." King Qi squeezed the reins tightly and slowly let go: "Fifth brother, please go slowly."

"That's right." King Chen patted the horse and turned away.

Watching the carriage disappear into the wind and snow, King Qi looked down at the attendant kneeling on the ground and said, "Get up."

"Your Highness, my subordinates are incompetent."

"It has nothing to do with you." King Qi's eyelids drooped slightly: "He is trying to find fault in Japan today."

From the palace of Prince Chen to the palace of the Ming Shilang, there was no need to take this path. Yun Duqing deliberately took a long way to go and forced him to give in. It was just holding a grudge against the fact that the palace of the Pingyuan Palace asked Ming Jiuzhu to avoid his actions on that day.

"King Chen relies on the favor of the emperor and is lawless..."

"No need to say anything more." King Qi interrupted his attendant and said, "Go back."

As long as the emperor favors him, other princes and princesses have to avoid his sharpness.

"Your Highness." Jiuzhu stretched out her head from the carriage, "Will there be any trouble when you quarrel with the King of Qi just now?"

"What trouble can you get?" King Chen pressed her head back again, "I have always acted like this. No matter what others think, at worst I will be called arrogant and domineering and disrespectful."

The old lady of Zheng family brought her family to bully him a little girl in the future princess. He could not care about the old man, so he could only get it back from her grandson.

The little head that was pressed back by him stretched out again, and King Chen glared at her.

"Don't press, don't press, I'll say a few more words." Jiuzhu stretched out two fingers: "First, Your Highness is not arrogant or domineering at all."

Retracted a finger: "Second, Your Highness is not disrespecting his brother, but is helping me vent my anger, right?"

"What's right?" King Chen poked her forehead, "This matter has nothing to do with you. Sit in the carriage and you're about to arrive at the Minister's Mansion."

Jiuzhu looked at King Chen with a smile, Your Highness is fine, even if she helps her, she doesn't want to leave her name.

Shen and Ming Jingzhou watched their daughter happily, jumped into the house, pretending to be passing by the door, and asked casually: "What do you want to eat tonight?"

Jiuzhu touched her stomach: "I'm not too hungry yet, just eat a little bit."

Shen found a bulging purse tied around her waist: "What is this?"

"This is the jerky meat from Prince Chen's mansion." Jiuzhu grabbed a handful and handed it to Shen's name: "It's delicious, you can try it."

Shen: “…”

Toothache, I can't eat it.

"Daughter, are you having fun in the Chen Prince's Mansion?" Ming Jingzhou took a piece of dried meat into his mouth and chewed it a few times: "It's pretty good."

"It's delicious." Jiuzhu gave the jerky handful to Ming Jingzhou and curled her eyes with a smile: "The people in the royal palace are all very good, and your highness is also good."

The jerky that was originally delicious suddenly became tasteless, and Ming Jingzhou bit him two hard.

Which father-in-law likes a stinky man who abducts his daughter?

"Is my son having a conflict with the fourth brother?" Emperor Longfeng closed the secret report and asked Liu Zhongbao: "A few days ago, what happened when the Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion asked the Ming girl to avoid the trip?"

Liu Zhongbao told the story.

"The old lady of the Zheng family is old." Emperor Longfeng stood up: "The elderly are demented, the younger generation is mediocre, and under the flowers, there is only a pool of mud left."

With a sigh, Emperor Longfeng sighed a little: "When Lao Pingyuan Marquis was still there, how beautiful the Zheng family was. It is really regrettable that the younger generations were incompetent and had lost their reputation as ancestors."

Liu Zhongbao bent down and exchanged a cup of tea for Emperor Longfeng.

"I remember that a few days ago, Hou Pingyuan submitted a report to him and wanted to find a job for his son?"

"Your Majesty has a good memory, and I only vaguely remember this."

"Thank the memorial back, the Zheng family has such a family tradition, how can the younger generation serve in the court?" Emperor Longfeng found Zheng Wangnan's name on the list of the younger generation and drew a fork on it with a red pen: "Although the Marquis of Pingyuan is seriously ill, I should have sympathized with him, but as an official in the court, the most important thing is virtue and ethics. I cannot treat the country and the country as a joke because of my temporary mercy."

Liu Zhongbao looked at the bright red fork and smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the world has received your kindness and many capable people have emerged. There is no Zheng family, but also the Sun family, the Li family, the Ming family, and thousands of talents in the world are all for your use."

Emperor Longfeng chuckled, he looked at the sky outside and put down his pen: "It's snowing heavily today, go to Mingyue Palace to have a hot pot."

As for the secret report that King Chen had a conflict with King Qi on the street, he was thrown into the stove by Emperor Longfeng.

Du Qing is young and energetic, and it is normal for him to vent his anger for his future wife.

"Your Highness, King Chen is so aggressive, why would you let the censor participate in his crime of being disrespectful to his elder brother?"

"No." King Qi flatly refused: "The father favored the fifth brother. Even if there was a report from the censor, he would not punish him too much. Instead, he would feel that my brother is not generous enough to tolerate his younger brother."

"Even if Your Majesty does not punish him, the civil and military officials will know about the unreasonableness of King Chen..."

"Don't all civil and military officials know his temperament?" King Qi sarcastically said: "Who dares to say no in front of him?"

The strategist fell silent, and the prince was right. As long as His Majesty prefers King Chen, nothing they can do is useless.

"Prince, even if Your Majesty prefers King Chen, he is always the emperor." The counselor lowered his voice and reminded King Qi: "He acted so unrestrainedly that sooner or later he would touch His Majesty's bottom line. When necessary, we can fuel the fire..."

"Your marriage is imminent, and the most urgent task is to win over the Sun family's forces as soon as possible and plan for the future." The adviser said: "Honoring the Sun family is equivalent to having the support of countless literati in the world."

King Qi remembered the girl from the Sun family, who was a very smart woman who knew how to advance and retreat.

It snowed for two days. On the third morning, Jiuzhu got up and saw the sun hanging in the sky. She sighed: "The snow is about to melt."

"Miss, don't worry, it may snow this year." The Spring Equinox smiled and comforted her: "In the future, you will see beautiful snow scenes every winter."

Jiuzhu lay on the windowsill and looked at the Bingling hanging on the branches: "It can't keep snowing, it will freeze people."

"Yes, it's snowing for too long, and it's the common people who suffer." The vernal equinox used a comb to gently comb the long hair behind Jiuzhu: "I heard that someone was frozen to death before. Since His Majesty ascended the throne and built relief centers in various places, there have been much less such things."

"The Lord is such an amazing emperor." Jiuzhu turned to look at the Spring Equinox: "Sister in the Spring Equinox, have you been with your mother before?"

"Yes, I entered the mansion at the age of six and stayed in the mansion for twelve years." She looked at Jiuzhu's beautiful face and continued: "At that time, the master had just been rehabilitated, and there were very few servants in the mansion. The wife was kind-hearted and took in a few little girls who were abandoned by her parents. I was one of them."

What the Spring Equinox did not tell Jiuzhu was that the wife took them in was also because of the young lady. Perhaps because she was pitiful when she saw them, she remembered the young lady who was fostered in the Lingzhou hometown.

The year when the fake lady entered the mansion, although she was only eight years old, she still remembered how sad and desperate she cried after her wife found out the truth.

Fortunately, God blessed me and let the lady return to her wife safely.

"Good sister, tell me about the past." Jiuzhu was very curious about the people at home.

The Spring Equinox smiled and continued to tell Jiuzhu about the interesting things about the master, wife and young master. Seeing the light in Jiuzhu's eyes, she felt a little sad. How great would it be if the so-called tribe members of Lingzhou had not abandoned the lady?

In that case, the lady can grow up with the master and wife, be pampered by her parents and taken care of by her brother.

"It turns out that my brother also likes to climb trees when he was a child?" Jiuzhu was very happy when he heard the similarities between his brother and himself: "I also like to climb trees when I was a child. Masters always say that I should not be a dog, but should be a monkey. Only monkeys like to jump up and down."

"How can there be a monkey as cute as a lady?" The Spring Equinox helped Jiuzhu comb her hair: "The sun is so good. After using up, the lady can go out for a walk."

"Okay." Jiuzhu wanted to buy a new set of paintbrushes to paint a snow scene for His Royal Highness Chen.

The sun behind the snow seemed particularly brilliant. After Jiuzhu walked off the carriage, she just looked up at the sky and was so painful that her eyes were stabbed by the sun.

"Miss Ming."

Hearing someone calling him, Jiuzhu looked back and said, "Miss Zhou?"

The visitor was Zhou Xiao, the daughter of Zhou Rui, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites. Jiuzhu met Ming Cunfu when she first went out. Later, although she met on other occasions, she had no chance to chat.

"I just looked a little like you from a distance." Zhou Xiao got off the carriage, "But go to the teahouse to listen to books?"

Only then did Jiuzhu notice that there was a teahouse next to her.

"There is a female gentleman here who specializes in telling stories to the guests. If Miss Ming has nothing to do, she will go with me to listen to it." Zhou Xiao looked gentle and said in a gentle voice. Jiuzhu couldn't help but nodded.

"My father and Ling Zun are both colleagues and friends, and their mother and Ling Ci are also close friends for many years." Zhou Xiao took Jiuzhu to the teahouse: "I don't know how to talk to you a few times when someone else was there."
