Chapter 379 Conspiracy
Zhu Zhongjun has not been so happy for a long time.
Gu Jinzhi, who was a little confused and worried, was like a young child. Her simplicity and happiness came out of her little nervousness and was captured by Zhu Zhongjun.
He is very happy.
He prefers Gu Jinzhi to Gu Jinzhi, who is determined to move.
He also knew that it was inappropriate to make strange laughter on such occasions. As the little son of the Empress Dowager's favorite, as the emperor's own brother, his smile will not cause disgust and punishment, and even add some fun.
Sure enough, everyone was looking at him when they heard him laughing.
The Empress Dowager also laughed and asked Zhu Zhongjun, "What's the funny thing to say? Are you so happy? Let's also listen to the Ai family.
The emperor couldn't help smiling and looking at them.
Zhu Zhongjun took a few steps forward and answered truthfully, "Xiao Qi is afraid that she will guess the riddle later. She only had two, and she was guessed by her mother and brother. She asked me to help her cheat..."
Gu Jinzhi lowered his head.
The Empress Dowager really laughed and called Xiao Qi over: "... Which two did you guess just now?"
"'The joy of making tiles' and 'fishing in the forest'" Gu Jinzhi also came forward and answered with a smile. She still didn't look up, as if she was embarrassed.
The emperor smiled first and said, "These two are not easy. It's good to guess. Who came up with these two?
"The joy of making tiles" is to guess a word. Gu Jinzhi knew that giving birth to a daughter in ancient times was called the joy of making tiles, so the answer to the riddle is undoubtedly the word "surname".
And "fishing in the forest" is an idiom. The four words of fishing in the forest will soon want "Yuanmu for fish".
These two are very simple.
Gu Jinzhi can only know simple things, because she is not very clear about many allusions in ancient times.
"The joy of making tiles is made by my brother-in-law." The third prince stood up and said.
"Shanglin fishing is from my concubine." Gu Defei also said.
The emperor laughed and said, "There are rewards. These two riddles are well solved, and they are appreciated by both elegance and vulgarity.
Obviously, it was too simple, but the emperor used elegant and vulgar rewards to praise them, which was to support Gu Jinzhi.
Gu Jinzhi added warmth to his heart.
Zhu Zhongjun's eyes flashed with a little uneasiness.
The emperor was very happy and rewarded the third prince and the German concubine again, as well as Gu Jinzhi.
Rejoiced, I uncovered that paragraph, and everyone continued to guess the lantern riddle.
Finally, Cheng Lifei guessed Gu Jinzhi's mystery. Gu Jinzhi's "day after day" is similar to Defei's "fishing in the forest". It is clear at a glance. It is a word "chang", which is easy to guess.
Zhu Zhongjun's word "grabbing" was a little difficult. The Empress Dowager led everyone to guess for a long time, but they didn't guess. Then, the emperor guessed first. Instead of saying anything, he called the prince to guess.
The prince just pondered slightly and asked Zhu Zhongjun, "Uncle, is it 'half push and half'?"
Zhu Zhongjun said with a smile.
The Empress Dowager thought that it was indeed this idiom. She was very happy to let the emperor reward the prince with something.
The emperor looked at Zhu Zhongjun, then at the prince, and pondered slightly.
This made Zhu Zhongjun and the prince panic in their hearts.
The emperor's eyes are too strange.
After appreciating the lanterns for about an hour, the Empress Dowager was so tired that everyone dispersed. The emperor asked all the concubines to return to the palace, and asked the princes to take the princesses to rest.
The palace has arranged a bedroom for all the princes.
Finally, the emperor called Zhu Zhongjun and his wife, and then the prince, and asked them to accompany the emperor and send the empress dowager back to the Renshou Palace.
Renshou Palace is next to the Nanhua Hall, just a few steps away.
The emperor is going to talk to Zhu Zhongjun and the prince alone.
Zhu Zhongjun didn't know what was going on, but the prince was worried.
When he arrived at Renshou Palace, the emperor said to Gu Jin, "Xiao Qi served his mother. Zhong Jun and Yan chose to come here, and I have something to ask.
Gu Jinzhi didn't dare to show anything strange, he said yes.
Zhu Zhongjun and the prince talked with the emperor in the side hall.
Seeing this, the Empress Dowager was restless and looked in the direction of the side hall several times. She was afraid that the emperor would punish Zhu Zhongjun.
After thinking about it, Zhu Zhongjun didn't make any mistakes today except for laughing.
The Empress Dowager is still uneasy.
She is uneasy, and Gu Jinzhi is also uneasy.
After talking for about a quarter of an hour, the emperor came out with Zhu Zhongjun and the prince.
The father and son said goodbye first.
After sending away the emperor and the prince, Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jinzhi also left and returned to Xilan Hall.
The Empress Dowager pulled Zhu Zhongjun and asked him, "What did your brother say to you just now?"
"The prince asked me and the prince to read some serious books. Don't look at the crooked and evil things, but restrain our mood." Zhu Zhongjun couldn't help laughing.
The Empress Dowager and Gu Jinzhi were confused.
Zhu Zhongjun had to explain more carefully: "The lantern riddle I talked about today is 'half pushed and half', from the West Chamber. The royal brother said that the book of Xixiangji is bad-hearted. Let me and the prince not read it too much. Mother, how did the royal brother know that it was from the Western Chamber?
The Empress Dowager and Gu Jinzhi both laughed.
If you are not familiar with it, how does the emperor know the source of this idiom?
He was familiar with it himself, but he didn't allow Zhu Zhongjun and the prince to see...
"Don't talk in front of your brother." The Empress Dowager smiled and pretended to be strict and told Zhu Zhongjun, "Have you ever talked back?"
"How dare I be a mother?" Zhu Zhongjun smiled and said, "I promise not to look at it in the future. Brother, let the prince promise, so that he can rest assured."
"Good, good." The Empress Dowager laughed and said, "If you can say it, you can do it. It's not a serious book, it's better not to read it. Although your uncles and nephews don't have to be famous, men can study and cultivate themselves. If you go to the wrong way, you will fail to live up to the full of books you read in the past.
Zhu Zhongjun said again.
The Empress Dowager admonished and let Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jin go back to Xilan Hall.
On the way back, the night wind was very cold.
Zhu Zhongjun wanted to hold Gu Jinzhi's hand, but was bypassed by Gu Jinzhi.
The two quickly walked back to Xilan Hall.
The Xilan Hall burns the earth dragon, which is as warm as spring.
The palace man took hot water to wash his face and wash his hands.
After cleaning the noodles, hold the hot tea.
After drinking a cup of hot tea, the cold air slowly dissipated from his body. Zhu Zhongjun breathed a sigh of relief. He remembered what had happened in Renshou Palace just now and couldn't help smiling.
"I really don't know the source of 'half push and half'. If you know, naturally you won't say it. This lantern riddle was guessed by our classmates when we were studying. At that time, several domestic students in our class gathered together and loved to show off Sinology..." Zhu Zhongjun's way to Gu Jin.
Gu Jinzhi smiled: "I don't know either. Later idioms, remember them if you use them more, and forget them if you use them less. Where can I know the source? We haven't passed the imperial examination again..."
"If I had read the Western Chamber, I would definitely remember it." Zhu Zhongjun said, "I just haven't seen it at all."
"You can't understand it, can you?" Gu Jin made fun of him.
"You haven't seen it. How do you know you can't understand it? You didn't understand it yourself, did you? Zhu Zhongjun sneered at each other.
Gu Jin's choked.
She didn't answer for a long time, muttered, "You can stand it", and got up and went to the clean room.
Zhu Zhongjun laughed behind him.
It seems that I went back to my childhood in an instant.
The so-called childhood was just a few years ago, when I was in the Gu family. Since Zhu Zhongjun went to Luzhou, he felt that the two of them had suddenly entered adulthood since they were young.
Now it's like this, pull back the time.
At that time, Zhu Zhongjun was the happiest in his two lives.
He took the tea cup and slowly tasted the fragrant tea.
When he finished a cup of tea, Gu Jinzhi had already taken a shower.
The couple rested at night without mentioning it.
Prince Yan chose to come out of the Renshou Palace and went straight back to the East Palace.
He is full of unhappiness.
At his age, it is time to be competitive. Yan Ze knew that his father wanted his son to become a dragon. He always tried his best to follow the teachings of his masters, and worked very hard.
Of course, when he is tired of studying, he also reads some miscellaneous books.
The Book of the Western Chamber is one of the miscellaneous books he has read. It happens that the idiom "half push and half" makes the prince feel appropriate. He has always remembered it, but he doesn't remember so accurately where it came from.
No one can guess Zhu Zhongjun's riddle today, and the prince has the intention to show off.
Seeing the word "grabbing", the "half push and half" came out of my mind in an instant.
The prince has read a lot of books. His daily homework is heavy, and he can't help but remember the confusion. There are too many things to accept, and I'm in a hurry to guess the riddles. How could the prince think that this word can't be said?
It was not until the emperor looked at him and Zhu Zhongjun that the prince suddenly remembered that the source of the word was not very good, and he was half scared at that time.
He still counts on luck, and his father doesn't know the source.
I don't know. His father has also read the Book of the Western Chamber.
He was left alone by his father and strictly disciplined, which made the prince particularly faceless. He felt very uncomfortable.
The servant who served him asked the prince, "...In the palace today, your majesty and the empress dowager praised your highness. Do you have a solid knowledge?"
Originally, there was.
It was just a loss in the end and was ruined by Zhu Zhongjun's idiom.
The prince was irritable and pushed away the chambermaid. He entered the bedroom by himself, and lay down without taking off his clothes.
The next day, several of his attendants came to teach the prince.
Among the three attendants, Prince Yanze likes Yuan Yuye the most.
He left Yuan Yuye alone, saying that he was asking for teaching, but he told Yuan Yuye what happened last night one by one: "Teacher, what should I do so that my father can believe me and stop reading those miscellaneous books?"
Yuan Yuye was stunned.
He immediately lowered his voice and said, "Prince, this is a conspiracy!"
The prince frowned.
Yan chose to be the prince for a long time. Most of the people around him are related to the Tan family, except for Yuan Yuye. And Yan Ze is a little disgusted with his foreign ancestors. Everyone in the Tan family thought that the position of prince chosen by Yan chose was contested by the Tan family, and the prince should be grateful to the Tan family.
Ke Yanzhi felt that he deserved the position of prince.
He is the eldest son and the son of the original queen. He never doubted that his father did not love him and made him the crown prince. Although the Tan family told him over and over again that the emperor did not want to set him up at all, Yan Ze never believed him.
He thought it was all the Tan family's plan. In this way, it is nothing more than to provoke the father-son relationship between Yan Ze and the emperor, but also to publicize the help of the Tan family to Yan Ze, so that Yan Ze can help the Tan family in the future.
This made the prince very disgusted.
"What conspiracy?" Yan Ze asked Yuan Yuye, "The conspiracy of the Tan family?"
In Yan Ze's heart, there has always been only the Tan family who wants to hurt him and get benefits from him. After all, he is too young to be raised in the deep palace since he was a child. He has his prejudice and simplicity in the world, which the counselors of the East Palace can't change for a moment.
Updated today. I owe it to the 10th, and I'll make it up tomorrow. Good night, everyone. RS
