"To be injured so badly and still say it's alright!" Jing Shao frowned tightly, reaching out to pinch the white cloth, wanting to see his brother's injuries but afraid of hurting him, his fingertips stopped three inches away from the fabric and didn't dare to go forward.
Jing Chen has never seen this kind of careful younger brother, always serious face can not help but appear cracks, to the mouth of the reprimand how can not speak, raw reach out, rubbed Jing Shao's head: "Indeed not seriously injured, is the wound is long, not good package, only to wrap such a large area."
Jing Shao froze, in his memory, his brother has never been so intimate with him, when he was a child jumping up and down to pull out the bird's nest, fishing carp, elder brother already every day face in the study reading, see him to say the most is "how to behave"; mother died when he cried his heart out, his brother just kneeling in front of the spirit of not crying and not speak, and when he went to pull his sleeve, only to get a "no interest thing, just know crying" so he has always thought that he is not close. When he went to pull his brother's sleeve, he only got a sentence "no interest in things, just know to cry"...... So in his last life, he always thought that his brother was not close to him.
Until he met his elder brother who came to visit him in the prison, that calm and powerful voice, Jing Shao still remembers it vividly, "You're my only brother, even if I put everything I have into it, I'll never let you die!"
Past events echoed in his mind, Jing Shao felt his nose a little sour, if he hadn't been re-living his life, he wouldn't have known how much his brother had done for him in places he didn't know. Rubbing a single finger under the bridge of his nose, Jing Shao pulled out a jade vial from his pocket and shoved it into Jing Chen's hand, "The car is bumpy, go back and let sister-in-law apply it for you."
Jing Chen looked at the small bottle in his hand, green jade-sheng, when it was rewarded to him by his father before Jing Shao's expedition, he frowned and said, "This is life-saving medicine, this is just a superficial wound for me, you take it back." Saying that, he wanted to stuff it to him, but Jing Shao quickly retreated to the carriage door.
"I still have there, this bottle you take, do not want to use it with me, I also rest assured that some," said Jing Shao lifted the curtain ready to go out, "I came out to pick you up, ran a big circle around the capital, when no one knows, as for the father, his old man in the heart of the mirror like, hidden is useless. "
Jing Chen held the green jade vial in his hand, watched his younger brother's posture upright as he rolled onto his horse, lightly shaking the reins to leave in the dust, slowly curved the corner of his lips, his little Shao'er is really getting more and more understanding.
Beiwei marquis house even if it is his mother's house, it is not appropriate to keep the crown princess for dinner, so when Jing Shao returned to the king's house, Mu hanzhang had already returned. The table set a sumptuous dishes, a soft silk plain clothes of his own princess sitting at the table, waiting for him to eat. This kind of someone waiting for you to come home feeling is too good, Jing Shao can not help but go over, in that handsome face kiss.
When the surrounding maids saw this, they lowered their heads.
Mu Hanzhang a handsome face suddenly red through and through, surrounded by subordinates, this person is this kind of do not know to restrain, can not help but glare at him: "Quickly go to change clothes, full of mouth is dirt!" Said and felt that this is not good, sounds more like flirting, can not help but secretly chagrin.
Jing Shao stifled two laughs with a single fist against his lips and turned around to go to the purification room to wash his face and change his clothes.
The weather had begun to heat up at the end of May, so Jing Shao changed his clothes, took the cup Miao Ruoxi handed over, and gulped it down.
Mu Hanzhang gave him a bowl of green bean soup and waved his hand for the maids to go down, "Have you seen your elder brother?"
Jing Shao took the bowl of soup and took a sip, nodding, "Brother is injured, so the carriage goes slower."
"Is the injury serious?" Mu Hanzhang frowned.
Jing Shao ate a mouthful of food, felt the flavor was good, so he gave his own princess a chopstick in her bowl as well: ''Skin wounds, it shouldn't matter.
Mu Hanzhang looked at the dishes in the bowl, and seeing Jing Shao's face as a matter of course, he didn't say anything, picked up the bowl and ate. Anyway, since the marriage, the king did not serve him less, just every time this time he would be glad in his heart that this person did not treat him as a woman to make him call, but respect him and love him, really do not dare to imagine, if Jing Shao was like the other husbands, how difficult his life would be.
Adhering to the etiquette of food without words, Mu Hanzhang then stopped talking and concentrated on eating. Jing Shao had eaten two pieces of marinated beef at noon, and was really hungry at this moment, picking up the bowl and eating quickly.
Mu Hanzhang saw him starving like this, could not help but be a little surprised, when Jing Shao picked up the third bowl of rice, for fear that he would be propped up, had to reach out to stop him, saw Jing Shao show a look of still wanting to eat, cried and laughed and said, "You ate too quickly, do not know hunger and fullness, and eat too much late in the evening to build up your food."
The two of them are men, the East Garden's rice bowls are large bowls, usually Jing Shao eat two bowls will be very full, this moment eat too fast to feel out, if you eat the third bowl, the night will be unable to sleep.
Jing Shao also knew this, so he obediently put down his chopsticks, drank another small half bowl of green bean soup, and waited for the maids to come and clean up before realizing that he was somewhat propped up. Mu Hanzhang sighed, drank tea and then took him to the garden for a walk to eliminate food.
The evening breeze in mid-spring carries a slight heat wave on your face, and you can smell the lingering scent of the sun's scorching rays in the scent of the flowers.
"Father said that Auntie will be raised as a concubine next month." Mu Hanyang Zhang walked under an acacia tree and looked up, the tree was full of pink flowers, brocade like smoke.
"That's a good thing, you can call your mother in the future." Jing Shao saw him looking at the flowers on the tree, reached out and lightly leapt, handing a handful of night acacia in full bloom to his own princess.
"What's the point of picking a flower that's blooming just right?" Mu Hanzhang looked at the flower in his hand and didn't pick it.
"Pepper flowers for beauty." Jing Shao said smugly.
Mu Hanzhang glared at the king, who had begun to be immodest again, "The first time I've heard of it, this flower of bitterness can still be given away."
Jing Shao scratched his head, the acacia was called bitter flowers, bitter flowers mean that the husband's change of heart, really bad symbolism, busy threw away the hands of the flowers, reached out to yank a branch of leaves to Jun Qing hands.
"What's this for again? Sending flowers is just fine, who sends leaves?" Mu Hanzhang turned the branch full of green leaves in his hand, the leaves were closed and there was nothing to see, he couldn't help but laugh at him.
"The Acacia leaf opens by day and closes by night, and they love each other, I take it to give you, that is, I want to be in the same heart with you for a lifetime, and to be happy together for the rest of your life." Jing Shao said with a straight face.
Mu Hanzhang stunned for a moment, looking down at the night tightly closed acacia leaves, did not expect Jing Shao will actually say such words, a moment do not know how to answer, just a touch of redness quietly jumped on the handsome face, reflecting the clear moonlight, looks more and more beautiful.
Jing Shao looked a little infatuated and couldn't help but reach out and wrap his arms around him, seeking those two thin lips and kissing them.
"Well ......" Mu Hanzhang hummed lightly, but did not resist much, that sentence "a lifetime of concentricity, the world together", let his whole heart rose to full, also want to do some intimate things, let This feeling is prolonged some more.
The next day, the second prince returned to the court, with a wound standing above the hall. Emperor Hongzheng pity the second prince is not yet healed, give him a seat.
The emperor was furious about the attack on the imperial guards and ordered a thorough investigation. In addition, Jing Chen also brought a shocking news. The southwestern tribute is not robbed by any mountain bandits, but by the king of the southwest himself, and all the tributes are still parked at the border of the southwestern fiefdom, near the official road leading to the capital!
And I do not know whether it is coincidence, or man-made, the Southwest King put off the rescue of the great prince of the folders also arrived in the capital yesterday. Southwest King in the folding said that the southwest suffered a spring drought this year, many parts of the grain harvest, but also meet the tribute was robbed, adding insult to injury, the Southwest Royal House has been cut back to help the people, there is no mobilization of the army to go to Yunnan and Tibet's ability to plead with the court to first allocate grain and grass.
"Deceitful!" Emperor Hongzheng juxtaposed Jing Chen's zhengfu with the Southwest King's copy and slammed it hard onto the jade steps.
"The Southwest King is truly too arrogant!" The rigid imperial historian Fan Jie stood out, shaking with anger.
"Your Majesty, calm your anger, the most important thing now is that the eldest prince is still in Dianzang, his life and death are uncertain, the Southwest King refuses to
To send out troops, we must hasten to mobilize troops from other places to go." Without looking for traces, the Minister of War exchanged a glance with Jing Chen and stepped forward to remind him.
"The Southwest King knows that the Grand Prince is not good at fighting, so he dares to blatantly deceive the court today and hold the tribute reduction hostage, according to the opinion of the minister, he should deploy his famous generals to go to Yunnan and Tibet." Song An, the Minister of the Ministry of War, sniffed, and busily stepped forward to follow, and glanced at Jing Shao if he had a point.
Jing Shao only hated Song An for taking matters into his own hands again, and took a half step back without a trace.
"The number of southern barbarians is not large, it is not worth the trouble at all, the reason why the Great Prince is in danger is only because he is not familiar with the environment of Yunnan and Tibet. I thought that as long as the rescue of the great prince can be, do not need to send another famous generals, spend some time will be able to attack." Marquis Mu Jin of Bei Wei who seldom spoke suddenly stood out, his calm and powerful voice instantly shocked the noisy crowd.
Emperor Hongzheng glanced at Mu Jin and nodded slightly. This generation's Bei Wei Marquis, when he was young, he was stationed in the Northwest for many years and fought in many battles, he relied on his own skills to keep his title, his words naturally had a high level of prestige.
So, Hongzheng Emperor issued a decree, rebuked the Southwest King, and asked him to immediately send troops to rescue the eldest prince, for the reduction of tribute, the allocation of food, all refuted, not a word! At the same time, the deployment of Shu troops, from the other way to rescue.
"Mother, I heard that father is going to raise Aunt Qiu as a concubine!" Mu Ling Bao, whose grounding had ended, came rushing to the main room in a flaming hurry.
"Yes!" Bei Wei Marquis wife pined a lot, the emperor has issued a decree, the fourth prince consort selected as the Miss Maoguo Gongfu, June under the decision, July is unlucky, scheduled to finish the marriage in August. Du has now become the laughing stock of the entire capital, so ashamed that she didn't dare to go out for nearly a month.
The fourth prince's June decision, Bei Wei Marquis June on lifting Qiu, is to tell the people plainly, Bei Wei Marquis later on on the side of the Cheng Wang, they, all these people, from now on will have to look up to that commoner's son.
"How can that work?" Mu Ling Bao slammed the fruit plate on the table, "After lifting the side room, Mu Huan Zhang will be the side room son, if I die, he can also inherit the title!"
"What nonsense!" Marquis Bei Wei's wife slapped Mu Ling Bao's back, "You are the son of the world by divine decree, no one can take this title away from you! He's already married to King Cheng, how can there be any reason for him to return to his mother's family to take the title!"
"If King Cheng became the emperor and repudiated him, wouldn't he be able to assume the title!" Mu Ling Bao was slapped by his mother and sat down on the Luohan bed with a thud, raising his voice.
"Hmph, if King Cheng wants to be the emperor, do you think he still lives to ascend the throne day?" Bei Wei Marquis people laughed coldly, the emperor who married a male wife shall not be allowed to carry on the great lineage, even if King Cheng finally seized the throne by extraordinary means, keeping a male wife is dishonorable, naturally, this person should be wiped out in the history books.
Mu Lingbao froze, then cheered up, "Mother is really far-sighted!"
"If you were a bit more successful, I wouldn't have to go through all this trouble!" Mrs. Bei Wei Hou took her finger and fiercely pummeled his forehead.
Qiu, who came to deliver the account book, stood flabbergasted outside the door, and when she came back to her senses, she had already broken out in a cold sweat!
