A Precious Pearl in the Imperial City - Chapter 104

“Yes, when people are in a hurry, they will burst out with extremely powerful power.” Dali Temple officials nodded in agreement, and did not conceal their appreciation of the princess Chen: “It is precisely because of this that people can show their righteous deeds to the princess. Moving content.”

Ming Jiyuan smiled and nodded: “My sister-in-law grew up in Taoist temple since she was a child, and she was educated by a celestial elder. She has a pure and kind personality.

The officials of Dali Temple heard the words and sighed for a long time. They are worthy of the Ming family. Both men and women are so noble in character.

No wonder there are always rumors in private recently that Wang Chen has been more progressive since he married the daughter of the Ming family, which seems to be the case.

“Ming family, Gao Yi.” He bowed his hand towards Ming Jiyuan before turning to leave.

Ming Jiyuan looked at his leaving back and adjusted his sleeves. He was serious about flattering his sister.

“Jiyuan.” Dali Temple Qing walked to Ming Jiyuan and handed him a file: “These are some case records of Dali Temple over the years. You can take a look when you are free.”

“Yes, my lord.”

“By the way, I’m going to the cabinet to be on duty tonight, you follow me.” Dali Temple said mildly: “Most of the officials on duty know you, don’t be nervous.”

“Master Xie!” Ming Jiyuan thought deeply. He was not a fool. The striker took him to the secret office of the cabinet, which meant that Shangfeng would start to reuse him.

The cabinet is in a special position. Non-emperors trust important ministers and cannot intervene in the affairs of the cabinet.

Throughout the world, countless decrees have to go through numerous quarrels among members of the Confidential Office of the Cabinet before they can be issued.

Young officials like him with little qualifications can be taken here to spend the night by Shangfeng, which is already a high praise.

The Cabinet Confidential Office is built on the west side of the Suzaku Gate. In order to prevent the repetition of the previous “one pot end” mistake, each department will only arrange two officials on duty every night.

Sitting in the carriage rushing to the secret cabinet of Dali Temple, Ming Jiyuan picked up the curtains of the car and glanced outside.

“Time flies so fast. Ten years ago, I was a five-grade doctor. At night, the people closed their doors and did not dare to speak loudly.” Dali Siqing sighed, “After your Majesty becomes the throne, the people’s life will be better and better. , Even at night, it is a prosperous look.”

Ming Jiyuan put down the curtain and looked up at him.

“Prosperity is not easy. When our generation is old, I am afraid that there will not be many people. I still remember the catastrophe of the year.” Dali Siqing directly used “catastrophe” to describe those things in Xiande’s last year. Don’t wait to see, even dare to speak out in front of other officials.

“When people are old, they love to talk a lot.” Dali Siqing laughed: “Don’t take it to heart.”

“The sir’s mind, the official understands.” Ming Jiyuan said with a solemn face: “My generation should do the same, and it is our responsibility to protect the peace of the people in the world.”

Dali Siqing smiled on his face, stretched out his hand to pat him on the shoulder, and made no secret of his appreciation: “Young people have something to do, young people have something to do.”

“Although those old-fashioned families have fallen, there are still a few kilograms of nails in the broken ship. This time the judgment can go smoothly. It depends on someone from above.” Dali Siqing leaned against the carriage wall, and the old **** was: “Who do you think it will be? ?”

Ming Jiyuan shook his head.

“It’s the king of Chen.” Dali Temple Qing said with emotion: “For the king of Chen, it is more beneficial to win over the family than to offend them, but he chose to call the shots for the common people.”

Since Wang Chen was his brother-in-law, Ming Jiyuan did not speak.

“Actually, I was a little surprised. Wang Chen would choose to take action.” Dali Siqing observed Ming Jiyuan’s expression: “Perhaps, we all misunderstood Wang Chen before.”

Ming Jiyuan twisted his waist, and the one who was misunderstood was Wang Chen. What does the adult mean when he looks at him like this?

“Jiyuan, go back and persuade your lord to see more about Chen Wang’s advantages and strengths. You will always be your own son-in-law, right?”

Good guy, after going around such a big circle, it turned out to be here waiting for him.

How outrageous is the rumor that his father hates King Chen, even his Shangfeng has come to persuade him to make peace?

“Wang Chen is actually a good boy.”

Ming Jiyuan glanced at Shangfeng silently. Three years ago, this man also said that Wang Chen’s willful and reckless behavior, and now he has become a better child?

When King Chen woke up, the sky was already bright. He turned to see the other half of the bed empty. He rubbed his forehead and sat up: “Come here.”

“Lord.” Yang Yiduo walked into the house with the waiting palace people: “Are you awake?”

“Where is the princess?” Wang Chen lifted the quilt and walked out of the bed: “Prepare water, this king wants to take a bath.”

“The hot water is ready. Lord, please go to the bath room.” Yang Yiduo replied: “There was news from the West Palace just now that Princess Zhao was unwell. The princess took the Equinox girl to visit.”

“What’s wrong with Princess Zhao’s body?” Wang Chen paused.

“When you get older, your body will inevitably get sick.” Yang Yiduo lifted the gauze tent to prevent the gauze tent from touching Wang Chen’s head.

Wang Chen remembered what Mrs. Zhao said to him and Ming Xiaozhu when he was painting in Taolin.

He raised his head and saw the moonlight hanging on the beam.

The full moonlight in the day is still very beautiful.

But last night, it was its most beautiful moment.

“His Royal Highness, the princess asked this lamp to be hung up. If you don’t like it, change the place for the smaller one?” Yang Yiduo saw the princess staring at the full moon lamp, worried that he would have an opinion on this lamp.

“No.” Chen Wang shook his head: “It’s good to hang here.”

he likes.

Only a few days later, when I saw Princess Zhao again, she looked like she was rapidly aging for several years.

“Emperor Taifei.” Jiuzhu held Taifei Zhao’s hand: “Is there any medicine available today, have the royal doctors been here?”

The skin is loose and hung on the bones of the hands, and it has already lost the elasticity of the skin, which is the taste of aging.

“It’s all old problems. The people below are not sensible, so they let you run.” Zhao Taifei struggled to sit up, but Jiuzhu stopped: “Tuofei, lie down well and don’t get cold.”

“I was in the palace all day, and there was nothing wrong with it.” Jiuzhu helped her cover the quilt: “Come to the Toffee to sit down and touch the little fat cat.”

“Meow.” The fat cat lying on the table made a lazily sound, jumped off the table, and finally jumped on Jiuzhu’s knee.

Jiuzhu reached out and touched it gently, and it made a snoring sound.

“It likes you very much.” Princess Zhao seemed to want to say something, but looked at the lazy cat and didn’t say anything.

“It’s raining outside again?” She heard the patter of rain.

“Yeah.” Seeing that Princess Zhao seemed to want to hear the rain, Jiuzhu got up to help her open the window and turned to look at her with a smile: “It’s beautiful.”

The woman in front of the window wore a azure skirt and smiled, which was more hazy and beautiful than the rain outside the window.

Princess Zhao followed with a smile: “Yes, it’s beautiful.”

The palace lady brought in the boiled medicine, and Princess Zhao sat up and drank the medicine indifferently.

These bitter pills cannot delay a person’s aging.

“Toffee, I’ll read a book to you?” Jiuzhu took a book from the equinox, and the big words “Overlord King vs. Demons” were printed on the cover.

“The books of those who are too much are not suitable for people who are sick to listen to.” Jiuzhu turned the pages of the book: “It’s not as interesting as these folk words.”

Princess Zhao looked at the script in Jiuzhu’s hand in a daze. She was a winemaker and was not interested in advanced knowledge. But in this deep palace, a concubine like her has no choice.

Since she entered the palace, this is the first time someone has said frankly in front of her that folk words are interesting.

“Yes, folk stories are interesting.”

When these words were spoken, she felt a sense of joy in her heart.

“Then I will start reading to you now.” Jiuzhu lowered his head and read the contents of the book.

When she was studying, she didn’t pay attention to the rules of literati. On the contrary, she was more like a storyteller, with a lively and interesting tone, and even her facial expressions changed along with it. Princess Zhao was amused by her.

The old mother who served Princess Zhao saw this scene, her eyes blushed with her head down.

Half an hour later, Princess Zhao fell asleep, Jiuzhu closed her book, gently covered the quilt for Princess Zhao, put down the gauze tent, and exited the house.

“Princess.” The old mother came over, holding an umbrella in her hand: “It’s raining outside, and the old slave will send you off.”

“The concubine is just when she wants someone to serve her. Mother doesn’t have to be polite with me.” Jiuzhu took the umbrella from her: “If there is any medicinal material missing, even send someone to tell me, even if I don’t have one here, the mother will definitely be there. There is.”

Listening to the princess Chen mentioning the queen in such an intimate tone, the mother understood in her heart, it seemed that the relationship between the queen and this daughter-in-law was as good as rumored.

Princess Chen insisted not to give it to her, so she had to take a few umbrellas and gave them to the person who followed Princess Chen to serve her.

“I just hold the umbrella by myself. Be careful not to get yourself wet.” Jiuzhu raised his hand to let the little palace lady who was going to give her an umbrella to retreat. The little palace lady seemed to be only fourteen or five years old, and it was not good to get caught in the rain.

“Xie Wangfei.” The little palace lady hesitated and followed the princess behind her umbrella.

The rain before Qingming was a bit cold, but fortunately she didn’t need to get rained today.

that’s nice.

Jiuzhu likes to hear the sound of rain hitting the oil-paper umbrella, but the beautiful embroidered shoes are a bit bad when they get wet by the rain.

The door separating the West Palace and the Harem opened. Jiuzhu saw Wang Chen with long hair in a snow suit, standing outside the door holding an umbrella.

“His Royal Highness.” Jiuzhu put away the umbrella and rushed into Wang Chen’s umbrella, smelling the fragrance of his body after bathing: “Why is your Highness here?”

“Come to take you home.” Wang Chen tilted the umbrella over her head and chuckled, “I like the moon you gave me very much.”

Jiuzhu reached out and hugged his arm: “You like it.”

Noting that his hair was not dry, Jiuzhu said: “If the hair is not dry, the hair will cause headaches. Let’s go back quickly.”

“No hurry.” When Wang Chen saw her carefully around the puddle, not wanting to get the embroidered shoes dirty, he put the umbrella into her hand: “Come on, I’ll carry you.”

“I’m sorry.” After this sentence, Jiuzhu was already lying on his back.

She was embarrassed, but acted honestly.

“Like these embroidered shoes?”

“You specially asked Shangyi Bureau to make these shoes for me. There are puppies on them.” Jiuzhu held Wang Chen’s neck with one hand, and held an umbrella with the other hand: “I like it very much.”

“Ming Puppy?”

Jiuzhu lay on his shoulders and laughed, the umbrella was stumbling, and Wang Chen was stunned by the cold rain.

Chen Wang: “…”

At this moment, Jiuzhu was next to his neck and took a bite: “Wang Wu.”

The bite was so numb, it didn’t hurt at all.

Wang Chen put her on her back: “It looks like it’s really a Ming puppy.”

Jiuzhu giggled and laughed, and he also laughed.

“How did your Highness choose a white coat today?”

“Tomorrow is Qingming. I am going to pay homage to my father. It is not appropriate to wear bright clothes these few days.” Chen Wang raised his eyebrows: “Why, it doesn’t look good?”

“Good-looking, His Royal Highness in light-colored clothes is the bright moon in the nine heavens. His Royal Highness in brightly colored clothes is the most beautiful sea of ​​flowers in spring. If you wear dark colors, it is the most charming and mysterious night.” Well, Jiuzhu never lacks nice words: “No matter what you wear, it looks good.”

“Ming Xiaozhu, fortunately you did not enter the court as an official.”

“why?”

“If you are an official, you must be the most flattering and treacherous minister.”

Jiuzhu hummed: “I’m telling the truth.”

Wang Chen’s heart moved. He couldn’t see Jiuzhu’s face, but he could imagine her present look: “In your heart, I am so good?”

“Ok!”

Wang Chen smiled softly, if it weren’t for him to carry someone on his back, he really looked like the fairy monarch in Jiuzhu’s mouth.

“Prince concubine, what’s wrong with you?” The palace lady was shocked when she saw that Sun Caiyao was suddenly sluggish, and the basket she was holding fell to the ground.

“It’s okay, it’s okay.” Sun Caiyao shook her head in a flustered manner, bending over to pick up the flower basket.

Wang Chen is just wearing white clothes, she can’t think too much, she must not think too much.

“The relationship between King Chen and Princess Chen is really good.” A court lady whispered: “It is raining that the princess is afraid of walking, so she carried the princess on her back.”

“Hush, you didn’t notice that the prince didn’t even tie his hair?”

Sun Caiyao’s brain buzzed, her eyes went dark and she fell to the ground.

“The prince and concubine!”

Before falling into a coma, she saw Ming Jiuzhu jumping off Wang Chen’s back and running towards her.

“Your Highness, Your Highness.”

Yun Yanze was still asleep, was awakened by the imperial call, closed his eyes and suppressed all the emotions in his heart, sat up and opened the veil: “What’s the matter?”

“The prince and concubine just fainted on the palace road, and the imperial physician was invited to check the pulse. The prince and concubine are pregnant!”

Yun Yanze showed joy on his face, put on his robe and strode out the door, only to see Yun Duqing standing in his courtyard holding an umbrella.

He stepped slowly: “Fifth brother.”

“Four brothers.” Wang Chen nodded slightly at him: “Congratulations to the fourth brother.”

“Thank you fifth brother.” Yun Yanze looked at the snow-colored silver embroidered brocade dress on Yun Duqing’s body: “Why is the fifth brother here?”

“My princess saw my sister-in-law fainted and sent her back. At the moment, she is with her in the house.” Chen Wang raised his eyebrows. Does he really want to stand here?

Other women are pregnant, what does it have to do with him?

Inside, Sun Caiyao looked at Ming Jiuzhu, who was sitting on the side, and sat up.

“There are already eunuchs who have gone to invite the fourth brother, I will leave first. The road is slippery on rainy days, and you are pregnant. Be careful when you go out.” Jiuzhu stood up and prepared to go out.

Her Royal Highness is still waiting for her in the yard holding an umbrella.

Sun Caiyao looked down at her stomach in a daze, and slowly let go of her hand holding the quilt: “Ming Jiuzhu, thank you.”

Is she pregnant?

Jiuzhu was surprised at what Sun Caiyao called herself, and looked back at her: “Sister-in-law is polite.”

She was busy going out and didn’t think much about Sun Caiyao’s attitude.

Walking out of the door and under the eaves, Jiuzhu waved to the king of Chen: “His Royal Highness.”

Wang Chen reluctantly shook his head, walked up to her, and raised the umbrella over her head: “Come down.”

Jiuzhu jumped down the steps and bumped into his arms. He stretched out his hand to support her waist and held her in his arms.

“Today’s matter, there are five brothers and sisters Lao.”

Hearing the voice, Jiuzhu found out that Yun Yanze was standing under the eaves. She took Wang Wang’s arm and raised her umbrella to look towards Yun Yanze: “Four brothers are polite, you hurry up to accompany Sisao.”

In the end, a prince is more calm than ordinary people. His prince and concubine are pregnant, and they have the patience to talk to others outside the door.

Yun Yanze glanced at her, turned around and entered the room.

“His Royal Highness, wait a long time.” Jiuzhu was leaning on Wang Chen: “Let’s go home.”

She looked down at the embroidered shoes on her feet soiled by mud and water, and sighed. Just now I was anxious to help Sun Caiyao, but I didn’t notice a small puddle next to me, and stepped in.

“It’s okay.” Wang Chen touched the top of her hair: “I will ask them to make you the exact same pair.”

“Yeah!” Jiuzhu was happy again.

Wang Chen sighed, silly, so coaxing.

The news that the fourth prince and concubine was pregnant soon came out.

The mothers and concubines of several princes reacted differently. Only Empress Su deliberately called Jiuzhu to her side and told her that a lot of women were too young to have children.

The words are full of love for her.

The next morning, before dawn, Wang Chen went to Taiyang Palace to change into a prince’s robe embroidered with dragon patterns, and rode a dragon scorpion to Yuqiu.

Tomb-sweeping Ming Dynasty was originally a festival to worship ancestors, but the emperors of Dacheng thought that some ancestors would become immortals in the sky after death, so they must first go to the hills to worship the sky, and then go to Fangze altar shrine Hou Tu.

After Long Nian, the four princes accompanied them on horseback. Behind them were hundreds of civil and military officials in official robes.

Wang An wiped the rain off his face.

The youngest prince sits in the dragon’s nun representing the emperor’s travels, and the four elder brothers ride on horses, accompanied by the Qingming light rain.

The matter of holding the thigh is imminent.

“The rain is getting bigger and bigger.” Wang Huai noticed Wang An’s action of wiping the rainwater, and his tone was a bit sour: “When we get to Fang Zetan, our clothes may be soaked.”

It’s better to sit on a dragon’s nest, the wind can’t blow, and the rain can’t get.

Wang An heard something wrong with this, and he didn’t dare to answer.

Wang Huai also realized that there was something wrong with what he said, and turned his head to look at Yun Yanze: “Fourth brother, I haven’t congratulated you on becoming a father yet.”

“Thank you, big brother.” Yun Yanze looked good in spirit, and even smiled a little more sincerely.

“Yes, congratulations.” An Dynasty Yun Yanze arched his hands in congratulations.

“It’s a happy event to have a child, but…” Jing Wang whispered in a low voice, suddenly recovered, hurriedly hummed, and apologized timidly: “I’m sorry, I missed it.”

Sacrificing to the emperor is a major event, and the prince cannot easily do it for the emperor.

Unless, he is the prince.

Today, the emperor asked Yun Duqing to go to the Taiyang Palace to change the prince’s robe, wear a golden dragon crown, and even arrange an emperor’s ceremonial trip for him, which is tantamount to telling everyone in the world that he wants to make Yunduqing the prince.
