The emperor was busy with official duties and hurried back to deal with government affairs after lunch. Fuyi didn't want to disturb the queen's lunch break, so she got up and asked the queen to resign.
"The peach blossoms will bloom in two days. Come into the palace to talk to me again." When the queen ordered the female officer to send Fu Yi out of the palace, she did not forget to remind Fu Yi about admiring the flowers.
"Mother, I just want to go back to read a book, so I will go for a walk with Miss Yun." Sui Tingheng said, "Don't bother the people around you to take this extra trip."
"Okay." The queen nodded in agreement.
After Fuyi and Sui Tingheng left, she told the maid next to her: "Heng'er has not liked playing with his peers since he was a child. I thought he couldn't find like-minded playmates. I didn’t expect that I actually like to play with lively people.”
Heng'er was talented and intelligent, but it was a pity that they were not favored by the late emperor when they were in charge of the palace. There were many gentlemen accompanying other emperors and grandsons when they were studying, but Heng'er could only carry his book bag to Chongwen Hall by himself, without even a reading companion.
Don't dare to stand out, dare not stand out, and when others make things difficult for you, you still endure it with a good temper, so well-behaved that it makes her heartache.
Nowadays, people outside praise Heng'er for his self-restraint and return to etiquette, but she hopes that he will be more willful. Those civil servants and censors who spoke of benevolence, justice and etiquette wished that Heng'er was a saint without any flaws, while she was just a mother who cared about her children.
These people themselves have not raised any saintly children and grandchildren, but they just point fingers at their children every day.
Bah, whose child feels sorry for me!
"Bless your Majesty." Mo Wen entered the palace and saluted the Queen.
"What do Heng'er have to tell you?" The queen was a little curious when she saw Mo Wen leaving and returning.
"Go back to your Majesty, the young one is here to get wine for His Highness."
"What kind of wine?" The queen said casually: "You can get it yourself."
"Thank you, empress." Mo Wen found the two jars of unfinished wine, held them with both hands, one on the left and the other on the right, and left.
"Two jars of unfinished wine?" The queen couldn't care less about scolding the person she didn't like: "Is this wine really so delicious?"
The palace maid said thoughtfully: "Your Majesty, Maybe... His Highness likes these two bars.”
“But pull it off, he hasn’t had it since he was a child. How can you understand wine after drinking it a few times? "The queen joked: "He didn't drink a few glasses just now, and his face turned red. He moved back and couldn't finish the remaining wine in three to five months."
Palace Maid: "..."
What does this have to do with the amount of alcohol? Maybe it has something to do with the owner of the wine?
However, His Highness has a reserved personality, and Fuyi County Lord is a well-known playboy in the capital. Even the empress has not thought about it. Maybe...she is overthinking it?
Fuyi raised his head and looked at Sui Tingheng, who was walking a step ahead of him. His skin was very white, and his ears and neck were slightly red due to drinking.
"Miss Yun?" Sensing Fuyi's gaze, Sui Tingheng stopped and looked back at her. His eyes were so lingering as silk that even the stones on the roadside were attracted by these tender eyes. .
"Your Highness seems not to be good at drinking?" Fuyi looked away and did not meet Sui Tingheng's eyes.
She is not a womanizer!
"It is true that I rarely drink these cups." Sui Tingheng put his hands behind his back: "So it is difficult for me to experience the joy of wine in this life."
"Drinking too much alcohol is harmful to the body. Not drinking is a good habit. At least it will prolong your life." Fuyi smiled, "It would be unseemly for a gentleman like you to get drunk."
Sui Tingheng: "Have you ever been drunk?"< br>
“Hasn’t Your Highness heard of my daughter being called a playboy?” Fuyi was very honest: “My daughter started learning to drink when she was twelve years old. Once she got drunk and made trouble in the palace. After returning home, she was raped by her mother. I was forced to kneel for three hours.”
“I remember fighting with someone else that day.” Fuyi turned to Xia Yu and Qiu Shuang behind him and asked, “Who did I fight with that night?”
Xia Yu winked wildly at Fu Yi, "You are beating the son of a rebel king who committed a serious crime of treason. Who dares to mention these two princes now?"
Fuyi instantly realized that this was someone who could not be mentioned.
"I can't remember, I must be an unimportant person." She coughed dryly: "Your Highness, the palace gate is almost here, please stay while I leave."
Sui Tingheng The pace slowed down, he looked at the palace gate in the distance, lowered his eyelids slightly: "Okay."
Fuyi gave Qiu Shuang and Xia Yu a look: hurry up, hurry up.
"My slave, please leave!" Qiu Shuang and Xia Yu saluted together, bowed and left behind Fu Yi.
"Is it really the two sons of the rebel king that I beat that night?"
"Miss, you are very powerful. One is worth four, and the calf is not as strong as you."
"Qiu Shuang, look at Xia Yu, She was arrogant and angry with me again.”
“Miss, don’t blame Xia Yu. She held you down that night and helped you pick up the shoes you smashed out and threw them away in front of other people’s maids. Face.”
"Then why should I beat them?" Fu Yi said firmly: "I am so reasonable. If I beat someone, it must be their fault."
"At that time, you asked your slave to get you a cloak. Wait. When this slave comes back, you have already moved the palace The child was pushed to the ground." Xia Yu shook his head: "Later, Prince Ning asked the young masters of the palace what was going on, but they hesitated and refused to tell them, so the matter was revealed."
When Prince Ning was mentioned, Qiu Shuang and Xia Yu fell silent.
At that time, Prince Ning was indeed protecting their young lady.
“They didn’t dare to give me a reason after being beaten by me. They must have a guilty conscience.”
No longer caring about what had happened in the past, Fu Yi looked at the cart full of fabrics, holding his face in his hands and showing a happy smile.
Although His Majesty is a bit stingy, the Queen is still very generous to her.
Inside the palace.
"Your Highness." Mo Wen saw Sui Tingheng coming back and hurriedly greeted him: "Master Du and Master Lu are waiting for you."
"Let the two gentlemen wait while I change. Just put on your clothes." Sui Tingheng rubbed his forehead and turned to go to the inner hall.
"Old minister, please give your regards to Your Highness." The gray-haired Taishi Du and Taifu Lu came out and saw that Sui Tingheng's cheeks were red and there was a faint smell of wine on his body. Drink.”
"I know, thank you two gentlemen for reminding me." Sui Tingheng smiled and nodded: "Please go to the hall to drink tea and rest for a while. I will be back in a moment." After returning to the inner hall to freshen up, Sui Tingheng's body had already There was no sign of alcoholism.
The two adults looked much better when they saw him coming back. After discussing knowledge with him, the two of them looked more and more satisfied: "Your Highness is learned and talented, we have nothing more to teach you."
"Two gentlemen are ridiculous." Sui Tingheng put down the brush in his hand , waiting for their next step with a calm expression.
"I have heard that Your Highness has been in frequent contact with several dandies in the capital recently?" Taifu Lu said: "His Highness is devoted to learning, and may not have known about their past evil deeds. These people have been idle since they were young and have no knowledge or skills. You really shouldn't get along with these useless people. "
"Who is Mr. Lu referring to?" Sui Tingheng looked up at Master Lu, his expression difficult to distinguish between happiness and anger.
After being stared at by these deep eyes, Taifu Lu remembered that some of these dudes had made a contribution to the rescue and were quite popular with the Queen.
Realizing that what he said was inappropriate, Taifu Lu turned his head and glanced at Taishi Du, hoping that he could help smooth things over.
"Master Lu, you are serious. Although those children are a little naughty, they are not treacherous or evil people." Master Du smiled and said: "But they are very playful and often have trouble with others. Conflict, Mr. Lu is worried that His Highness, you being with them will bring you some unnecessary trouble.”
"I see, I thought the gentlemen had some objections to them." Sui Tingheng handed the written words to Mo Wen behind him: "It is not wrong for you, sir, to have such concerns. Tomorrow I will ask my father to issue an order to summon They entered the Chongwen Hall and let them receive the teachings of the two gentlemen."
"These two gentlemen are so talented that it will be easy for them to teach a few naughty juniors."
Master Du: "..."
Master Lu: "..."
We just want you to stay away from bad boys, and we don’t intend to let you die earlier.
The relationship between master and disciple in the past two years has been wrongly paid.
"The nature of young people, but... there is no need to be too harsh." After all, Taishi Du was older, so his face was thicker than Taifu Lu. He immediately said: "What's more, the old minister is older, and there is no need to be too harsh." You have the energy to teach so many children."
"Then Mr. Lu..." Sui Tingheng looked at Taifu Lu.
"Your Highness, I have some errands in the Ministry of Rites, and I really can't get away."
"That's all." Sui Tingheng sighed: "I originally thought that these two gentlemen would be rich in knowledge and wealth. They are of noble character, and if you come forward to teach them, these dandy boys will definitely change their appearance..."
Before he finished speaking, he looked at the two of them considerately: "The student understands the concerns of the two gentlemen. Compared with them, the gentlemen are naturally more important in my heart. I will not mention this matter again in the future."
Master Du and Lu The Taifu walked out of the prince's palace with a heavy heart. Unexpectedly, His Highness wanted to guide those dandies to the right path, but they only worried that His Highness would get too close to the dandies, and in the future he would favor nobles or generals, and stay away from their civil servants. .
Compared with His Highness’s mind and magnanimity, they are really nothing.
On the third day after Prince Ning was demoted to Prince Ning, Jinwu Guards withdrew from Prince Ning’s Mansion, and many of the servants in the mansion were also replaced.
The people throughout the capital heard the story of the emperor pleading for mercy for his brother and crying bitterly in front of all the officials.
"My younger brother wants to rebel, and my elder brother is reluctant to punish him. Your Majesty is so kind."
"Since Your Majesty came to the throne, our lives have become easier. He must be a good man."
"Yes. Not even such a good brother Know how to cherish, if I have a brother like this, I will definitely break his legs!”
The comments of the people outside naturally reached King Ning’s ears. He looked at the strange servants in the courtyard and said: The raised tea cup was gently put back.
"Come, prepare your horse." He calmed down little by little: "I want to enter the palace to apologize to my brother."
Peach garden.
Fuyi, who was invited into the palace by the Queen again, walked around in the forest and waved the petals on his shoulders: "Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for inviting me into the palace today, otherwise I would not be able to see such a beautiful scenery."
“Flowers are more beautiful than beautiful women, but it’s a pity that I don’t know how to paint...” The queen called the maids around her: “You go and paint. Prepare the utensils and invite Heng'er over."
"Is the queen inviting your highness to come and enjoy the flowers?"
"It doesn't matter whether you enjoy the flowers or not. The main thing is to ask him to come and enjoy them for us. Painting." The queen ordered her servants around: "Heng'er is somewhat accomplished at painting."
"Mother, there is no need to call me, my son has come uninvited."
Flicking his clothes, he followed the sound and saw Sui Tingheng, wearing a gold-woven red robe, stepping on the flowers. Compared with him, the sky was filled with peach blossoms. It seems a bit bleak.
