“Ahhh…”
Zhu Youwang's eyes widened.
His younger brother was indeed very smart and he could guess what he was thinking at once.
"I see."
Zhu Youbiao sighed and tried to communicate with him: "Brother, let's do this, I'll ask you, you can answer... If you think I'm right or agree, just say ah, otherwise twice."
"ah……"
Zhu Youbiao smiled bitterly. The emperor didn't expect that he would fall to such a level... It's really pitiful.
He took out a sweat towel from the cuff and wiped the saliva from the corner of Zhu Youwang's mouth.
"Brother, I have four nephews, Zhu Gaodong and Zhu Gaozhi in Kyoto, Zhu Gaohua on the northwest border, Zhu Gaoyi... Who do you like the most?"
His voice was lowered, after all, it was related to the Privy Council.
The emperor is seriously ill again, so it is appropriate to be cautious.
Zhu Youwang's turbid eyes narrowed.
There was no movement for a while.
It is true that he gave birth to four sons, but none of them really liked each other.
The eldest is born in the central palace, and he is honest and lacks intelligence.
The second brother is a martial artist and only knows how to fight, kill, and kill all day long.
The third brother is smart, but too ruthless.
The fourth brother is still young...
Zhu You said that he was silent when he saw that Zhu Youwang remained silent, so he naturally didn't speak.
It seemed to be raining outside, and Zhu Youwang heard the sound of raindrops falling on the ground.
He couldn't speak anymore, but his hearing was extremely good, even better than when he was young.
Autumn rain always brings sadness and makes people feel depressed.
Zhu Youwang suddenly remembered his dead father. When the throne was passed to him, did he also compare and measure each other with his brothers... Finally, he was very cautious in handing over the country to him.
Like him now.
In terms of talent, he is not as good as his dead second brother, and even the third brother.
But his mother is the main palace, and he was born as the eldest son of the legitimate child... His dead grandfather was the chief minister of the cabinet at that time.
It is impossible for the father to ignore these things.
Royal father and son are different from ordinary people. They pay attention to the first monarch and ministers and then father and son, but they pay more attention to the country and the overall situation!
How similar is Dong'er and herself back then?
Zhu Youwang felt pity for the first time when he looked at his eldest son.
That child is not loved by him... The most popular person in the palace is the most popular person, and his life is not easy.
"Brother, have you thought about it?"
Zhu Youbiao asked him.
"Ah..." Yes, I've thought about it.
Zhu Youbiao thought about it alone for a while, and then asked, "Are you trying to Zhier to take over the Grand Principal?"
This is not a rash question. In his only few times when he spent time with Zhu Youwang, Zhu Gaozhi was the one who heard him praise the most.
What are clever and witty, royal style, etc.
The satisfaction between words and expressions is not concealed at all.
Of course, voting to his preferences is also the most basic survival instinct for him to be a royal.
"Ahh..." It's not him, he is not worthy of virtue.
Zhu Youbiao was stunned.
The emperor's eyebrows were furrowed.
Not Zhu Gaozhi?
Your kindness is hard to predict.
He could only continue to guess, "Is it Dong'er?"
My eldest nephew is still very good, he is polite and filial, and my mother likes him very much.
Zhu Youwang didn't say anything.
It took a long time, and the side hall was quiet.
Zhu Youbiao coughed a few times in embarrassment, knowing that he had asked wrong again, and he had to speak again, but Zhu Youwang said "ah".
Zhu Youbiao: "..."
The emperor's brother actually chose Zhu Gaodong.
It’s not Zhu Gaozhi who he praised!
He had time to express something, and a little palace maid wearing a green palace coat came in rashly and bowed and saluted: "...Prince, Doctor Tian said that it's time for you to take medicine."
She held a red painted rectangular tray with both hands, and a celadon bowl on it, with dark soup inside.
The little palace maid's name is Mingli, and she is the old man in the palace.
He was serious and willing to take care of himself, so he was called to serve the Qing Palace.
But her other identity is the eyeliner placed by Prince Ling in the palace.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh..."
Something that doesn't have the eyesight, get out.
Can't see that I'm talking about?
Zhu You was furious.
His communication with Zhu Youbiao was very easy to get a little bit, but he was disturbed by irrelevant people.
Mingli seemed to be frightened, and when she loosened her hands, the red painted rectangular tray fell to the ground, and the celadon bowl was smashed.
The decoction was also sprinkled on the dress.
The Ganqing Palace is the main hall of the inner court, with a throne on the main hall, and the side halls at both ends are warm pavilions.
The main thing is to meet ministers, review memorials, and handle official affairs, and there is no special place to boil medicine.
The place where the emperor stayed was a warm pavilion. For convenience, Doctor Wang ordered the palace servants to temporarily move the stove under the corridor of the warm pavilion.
Seeing Mingli's steady attitude, the chief officer of the Ganqing Palace arranged for her and another little palace maid to make medicine for the emperor. Her behavior just now was also intentional... As soon as Prince Rui entered the Ganqing Palace, Mingli noticed that she first instructed another little palace maid to ask about the time when the imperial physician Wang was boiling the medicine.
Then he held the fire-flaming fan and raised his waist to cool off. While no one was paying attention, he secretly pushed the partition fan open a thin slit.
Prince Rui is Zhu Youbiao’s title.
Prince Rui and the emperor were vaguely speaking, Mingli was nervous, and what he heard was limited, but the most critical words were understood... She wanted to find a way to report to Prince Ling, so the medicine just now came out.
...
The eunuch who was serving Zhu Youwang heard the sound, came over with a whisk and scolded Mingli, "What's wrong with you?"
Can you disturb the emperor?
Don't clean up quickly and get out."
"……yes."
Mingli lowered her head and crawled on her knees to pick up fragments of the celadon bowl.
Several more eunuchs came in with brooms and dustpans to help clean up.
Zhu You said a few times in anger. Mingli was so scared that she trembled and took the red paint rectangular tray out.
She used the excuse to go back to the house to change her clothes, and took a leave of the Ganqing Palace to the head of the Ganqing Palace, left the Ganqing Palace, walked towards the ear room, and after entering the house, she changed into a pink palace dress and came out soon.
There are people around the emperor who are inseparable from serving him, so she has to go and wait.
If it takes too long, it will arouse others' suspicion.
When she passed by the eunuch who lived in the front yard, she slowed down and looked at the surroundings and said to the little eunuch who was sweeping the floor: "You go to Chonghua Palace and tell the concubine Xian, and then she said that the emperor wants to see Prince Ling."
The little eunuch just entered the palace. She helped her twice when she was bullied and said to her as a god.
This sentence was also a secret word between her and Prince Ling, and it was said in advance.
Whenever there is news, I will find someone to go to Chonghuang Palace and say that the emperor wants to see him... He will know what's going on and will find someone to contact her directly.
It was completely dark, and everyone was busy with their own things, and no one paid attention to the bright little movements.
The glazed horn lamp was lit up, and the light reflected onto the fine white marble ground, shining with a warm light.
The distance was confused, as if fog was rising.
The palace is shrouded in it, the jade buildings and jade buildings, carved beams and embroidered columns, becoming more and more unreal.
Gu Han sat on the couch of Xiangfei leaning on the big red embroidered crabapple flower pillow and looked at the script, and from time to time he glanced out the window.
It’s dark, why haven’t Zhang Juling come back yet?
Taohong poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to her: "Mrs. It was a little rain in the afternoon and the weather was getting colder. Let's close the window."
Gu Han waved his hand: "...It's just a little rain, and it will stop soon.
It's okay."
She felt so hot that she could breathe with the window open.
I feel better.
Sister-in-law Ning also said that pregnant women have hot constitutions, which is the opposite of ordinary people.
Taohong smiled and said "yes", and then went to get a coral velvet blanket to cover her legs.
"When is it?"
Gu Han put down the book and went to see the light leaking.
"Around the hour of Wu."
Taohong understood the master's thoughts and did not break it. She still smiled: "The Third Young Master is probably too busy with official business. Why don't you use dinner first... When the Third Young Master comes back, there are ready-made materials in the kitchen, so it's quick to make."
Gu Han nodded, and she rubbed her stomach, and she was indeed hungry.
Taolu, who was standing aside, heard that Gu Han was going to have a meal, so she went down to make arrangements.
Xiangfei set up a kang table on her long couch, and served steaming dishes. Gu Han cleaned his hands and sat at the kang table to drink longan eight-treasure porridge.
Liang Yu was serving her and chatting with her.
"Mrs. Dongxue and Dongping are two girls, who are old and are at the age of being released from the house... You have to make an idea.
It’s not good to be delayed, but it was given to you by the wife.”
In recent years, although Dongxue and Dongping have not served their masters in close proximity, the monthly money they received was taken by Qiaozhen and the others.
He has a good status, so he is in charge of the girl and the mother-in-law who are waiting for the Grandpa Qiulan.
Fame is also the first-class girl in Qiulan Pavilion.
"I'm sorry for reminding me, I really forgot..."
Gu Han thought for a while and put down the chopsticks in his hand: "They are honest and have never had any trouble with their errands.
However, there is no rush."
She paused and said to Liang Kuai: "If you are free, ask their plans first, and I will also say to my mother..." The girl Wang gave her to him was not easy to send her away privately, so she also had to listen to her opinions.
Liang Yu should have "yes" and picked up a piece of rib for Gu Han, "Mrs. Young lady tasted this and stewed it with red dates, which will replenish the qi and blood."
As he was talking, a report from the little girl came from outside that she said that Zhang Juling had returned.
Gu Han was happy and pulled his embroidered shoes to welcome him, "Husband."
The girls and the women in the room bowed and saluted one after another, and Zhang Juling waved his hand and told them to retreat.
He took off the three-grey crown on his head and put it on a high table, rubbing his wife's hair: "It's too late, why are you still having dinner?"
"I'm waiting for you."
Gu Han smiled and said, giving him a homely embellishment: "You can change it first."
Zhang Juling agreed and untied the silver tangerine dish at his waist, putting it on straight face under his wife's service.
"Have you had a meal?"
Gu Han asked him.
Zhang Juling nodded: "After Yang Ruo and I came out of Prince Yu's Mansion, we went to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and we used dinner there."
The prince of Dingyuan Marquis's mansion, Wang Zhiyuan, is the commander-in-chief of the Military and Ma Si. He has more than 20,000 soldiers in his hand. Although he does not hold military power, he can be mobilized at will.
It is easy to do things with soldiers in your hands.
The person they want to deal with is Yan Liang. How can they do if they don’t make a complete solution?
"Yang Ruo?"
Gu Han was stunned. Yang Ge Lao was still dead... Yang Ruo should be very sad.
She is an outsider, but unfortunately, Yang Ge died young.
She just felt regretful if she couldn't help him.
Zhang Juling said "um" with a slightly deeper look, and his wife's expression should be care.
