Chapter 818 Pretending to be the king
Princess Ning'an spat on the sidelines and spared no effort to blame Zhu Pingan. In her mouth, Zhu Pingan became a heinous villain, a hypocrite, and a scumbag...
Du Kangfei nodded her head lightly while listening, but her mind had long been wandering to turning over the cards.
The bright sunshine outside shines into Rongfu Palace, shines on Princess Ning'an, and shines on Concubine Du Kang's face. One is like a vibrant lily, and the other is like a graceful and luxurious peony. The two of them form This is the most beautiful picture of Rongfu Palace.
However, this beautiful picture was broken with the visit of King Jing, and Princess Ning'an's complaints and slander against Zhu Pingan also came to an end.
"Zhen'er pays his respects to Concubine Du. Hearing that Concubine Du is not in good health, Zhen'er specially selected the best medicinal materials from the house to visit Concubine Du. I would like to wish Concubine Du a speedy health. I have met the emperor's brother and sister. I haven't seen you for a few days. , the imperial sister becomes beautiful again.”
Accompanied by several palace maids and eunuchs, King Jing visited Rongfu Palace with some gifts and supplements. He respectfully greeted Concubine Du Kang, then greeted King Yu with a smile, and then praised Princess Ning'an with a smile. Become beautiful.
"His Royal Highness King Jing is interested. No courtesy, please sit down. Sui'er, serve tea to His Highness King Jing." Concubine Du Kang smiled slightly and ordered the maid to serve tea.
“The fourth brother is here.”
King Yu also greeted King Jing with a smile, but his smile was a little stiff. It was particularly interesting to be with this outstanding and competitive emperor’s younger brother. pressure.
In comparison, Princess Ning'an's attitude towards King Jing was not much better than towards Zhu Pingan, and was even worse.
"What are you doing here? You are not welcome here."
Princess Ning'an's pretty face was dark and cold. She was quite rude to Prince Jing, the uninvited guest, and stretched out her pink little finger. He pointed at King Jing and then tapped at the door to indicate where King Jing was coming from. He was not welcome in Rongfu Palace.
It can be seen from Ning'an's words and deeds that Ning'an's attitude towards King Yu and King Jing, who are also imperial brothers, is completely different. Ning'an regarded Rongfu Palace as his own home and was very affectionate to King Yu, but he regarded King Jing as an outsider, and a very hostile outsider at that.
"Haha, who has messed with our Ning'an again? Tell Brother Emperor, Brother Emperor, and I will vent your anger on your behalf."
King Jing was not angry at all for Princess Ning'an's coldness and rudeness, but instead smiled more gently on his handsome face.
"Okay, brother Yonko, can we stop pretending. You can just pretend in front of others, why do you still pretend like this in front of your own family? Wearing a mask all day long, you are tired You're not tired." Princess Ning'an rolled her eyes and sarcastically pouted her lips.
Even though Ning An was so unabashedly sarcastic about King Jing, King Jing still remained calm and smiling. His eyes when he looked at Ning An were also gentle and tolerant. He was completely a person. The big brother who dotes on his wayward sister is a visual sensation.
Princess Ning'an was so irritated by King Jing's look, it was like seeing a matador with red cloth. King Jing didn't say a word or did anything. Just this look. It stimulated Princess Ning'an to the point of going crazy.
"I'm really scared of you, Brother Four Emperors. Can you stop pretending? You're not tired of pretending, but I'm still tired from seeing you. My father is not here, so you pretend to be the same thing, brother." Who is Gongdi Qian here to show?!" Princess Ning'an crossed her arms and glanced at King Jing with her eyes, then looked up at the top of the Rongfu Palace and gave King Jing a look of contempt.
"Haha, the emperor is joking." King Jing smiled and shook his head.
“Haha~~” Princess Ning’an rolled her eyes and chuckled, with sarcasm written all over her pretty face, “Brother Four Emperors, you imitate Brother Two Emperors in speaking, act like Brother Two Emperors, and walk like Brother Two Emperors. I want to imitate the Second Emperor Brother. Even if I laugh at you, I have to imitate the Second Emperor Brother. Are you tired? No matter how similar you are to me, You are just you, and you will never become the Second Emperor Brother."
King Jing seemed to have been pressed on the pause button. Although the smile on his face remained, he paused for 0.01 seconds, but King Jing soon paused. He continued to smile gently, as if the pause just now was a dazzling outsider.
"Haha, the capable royal sister is so complimentary, and the royal brother is really ashamed to deserve it." King Jing smiled slightly.
"Stop being so sentimental, okay? No one is praising you." Princess Ning'an glared at King Jing angrily.
"Didn't the imperial sister say that I am imitating the second emperor brother in everything? Haha, when you see a good person, you should think of him. The second emperor brother will always be a model for you and me to learn from. If you can do everything that the second emperor brother does, One, my dear brother, I can laugh even in my dreams." King Jing smiled brightly.
"Painting a tiger will not turn out to be a dog, so don't dream about it. The second emperor brother is kind-hearted and a god-like person. And you, haha, you will never learn from the second emperor brother." No hair, huh." Princess Ning'an glared at King Jing, and snorted coldly at the end.
"The road is long and long, and I will search up and down. In fact, I am not only learning from the two emperors, but also any sage. The so-called three people walking together must have my teacher. Only Only through continuous learning can you constantly improve yourself. The emperor's sister's confidence and courage are worthy of the emperor's study."
Prince Jing's smile remained gentle and generous, and it made Princess Ning'an become more willful and unruly. .
"Hypocritical, my father should not have named you King Jing, but should have named you King Zhuang (pretend)." Princess Ning'an rolled her eyes.
The second royal brother mentioned by the two of them was Zhu Zaizhuang, the crown prince of Zhuangjing who died last year and was born to the royal concubine.
Prince Zhuang Jing was the only prince appointed by Emperor Jiajing. The previous eldest prince, Zhu Zaiji, died only one month after he was born, and he was the only prince named after Emperor Jiajing. Only Prince Zhuang Jing was the crown prince officially appointed by Emperor Jiajing.
When Prince Zhuang Jing was born, he was very beautiful and lovely, and he bore a close resemblance to Emperor Jiajing. It is said that Emperor Jiajing only took one look and insisted that Prince Zhuang Jing was full of fairy spirit and that he was a god from heaven reincarnated into the earth.
Prince Zhuang Jing did not disappoint Emperor Jiajing. As he grew older, he became more and more like Emperor Jiajing, and he was even more handsome. His words and deeds were all refined and extraordinary, he was kind, gentle and sunny, and he often brought Smiling, he showed great respect to Emperor Jiajing. He served Emperor Jiajing as respectfully as worshiping God. He once said: "If you dare not raise your hands all the time, it's because God is above." Emperor Jiajing couldn't be more satisfied.
Not only did he respect Emperor Jiajing, Prince Zhuang Jing took great care of his younger brothers and sisters, including Prince Yu, Prince Jing, and Princess Ning'an.
In addition, Prince Zhuang Jing was intelligent and capable, very decisive, and had great political wisdom. He was unanimously supported by the ministers of the court and the public. He was simply the ideal prince in Emperor Jiajing's heart.
So, despite Tao Zhongwen's motto "Two dragons must not meet each other", Emperor Jiajing still made Prince Zhuang Jing the crown prince in the eighteenth year of Jiajing, when Prince Zhuang Jing was seven years old. When Prince Zhuang Jing was seventeen years old, he held a grand coming-of-age ceremony for Prince Zhuang Jing, and officially conferred the crown prince's golden seal. He intended to order the prince to supervise the country and devote himself to refining elixirs and cultivating immortality. However, he never expected that Prince Zhuang Jing would suddenly die of illness on the third day after the coming-of-age ceremony.
From then on, Emperor Jiajing believed more deeply in the motto "Two dragons never meet" and abided by it.
That’s why King Yu and King Jing were ordered to move out of the palace last year and build mansions outside the palace.
In fact, if we want to say who the prince Emperor Jiajing is most satisfied with, it must be Prince Zhuang Jing. If Prince Zhuang Jing was still alive, then Prince Yu and Prince Jing would have no chance at all, let alone Prince Yu and Prince Jing. Even if the eldest son of the emperor was alive, Emperor Jiajing would probably still make Prince Zhuang Jing the crown prince. (End of chapter)
