Cancan

Zhao Chen's birthday must be lively. An Ge'er Rong Ge'er urged his brother and sister to buy gifts for his father. In fact, he wanted to go out to play, buying gifts is just a cover.

Brother Ping had already prepared the gift and said while reading the book: "You go and ask your mother, I will accompany you if you want to go."

An Ge'er curled his lips to his third brother, and was about to speak when he saw his grandfather leading Zhao Ze over there, and quickly sat down straight and prepared for class.

Zhao Ze has four uncles and nephews, and his literary class is taught by Zhao Yunting and Kung Fu Zhao Chen. Both Ping Geer and Zhao Ze like both Wenwu and learn it very seriously. An Geer and Rong Geer only likes to dance with swords and sticks.

After the class was over, Brother Rong was ordered by his second brother to go to his sister to beg him.

Zhao Cancan learned from his mother to the housekeeper. When he saw his third brother hiding behind the curtain and winking at her, he laughed at him: "If you have anything to say, just come in and say it, mom is not a father."

Aji then realized that his youngest son was coming, and looked back: "Brother Rong came in, why do you want to beg for your sister?"

Brother Rong scratched his head and walked in, leaned in his mother's arms and acted coquettishly: "Mom, Dad is about to have a birthday, my elder brother wants to take us out to buy gifts for Dad, okay?"

To put it nicely, how could Aji not know the children’s little thoughts? Without answering directly, he turned his head and asked his daughter: “What did Cancan say?”

Zhao Cancan looked at the account book in his hand and didn't raise his head to mention his younger brother: "Dad has some good things. Instead of spending money to buy something that is not needed by his father, it's better to do it for him by himself. Your elder brother and I both do it by ourselves." The second and third brothers will only cause trouble when they go out, so it's better to stay at home honestly. If she is as sensible as her eldest and uncles, she and her mother will not care about it.

"But I'm still young and can't do it myself." Brother Rong'er's eyes rolled and she thought of an excuse in a flash.

Aji smiled and pinched his son's nose, "Your second brother is not young anymore. Let him teach you that he can peel wood. Didn't your second brother make a small wooden sword for you when you were a child? Unfortunately, you broke it in just two days."

Brother Rong had long forgotten about this. He heard that his second brother could make wooden swords and ran out.

"So stupid." Zhao Cancan couldn't help but smile.

Aju was curious about what gift her daughter had prepared.

Zhao Cancan smiled mysteriously and blinked at his mother: "I won't tell you."

The little girl was cunning and playful, and Aju reached out to light her daughter's forehead.

On the day of Zhao Chen's birthday, he still had to enter the palace early, so he had to wait until evening to have a lively meal with his family. However, after asking his wife for a big gift before getting up, he did not expect that the second person who gave him the gift was not the few young people in the family, but the prince of the East Palace.

"Taifu, I heard Ming Jin say that today is the birthday of Taifu. The student specially prepared a small gift and asked the Taifu to accept it with a smile." After practicing the bow and arrow, Tang Rui winked at Changlu, who had been following him since childhood. Changlu quickly retreated and quickly brought a wooden box. At this time, the master and apprentice changed their clothes. Tang Rui took the wooden box and handed it to Zhao Chen with a smile.

Zhao Chen's face flashed with surprise and thanked generously: "Prince Lao has trouble."

He lifted up the wooden box, and a delicate dagger was quietly lying on the black velvet inside. The hilt of the scabbard was inlaid with blood-red rubies, which were matched with the ancient black in other places. The demonic bloodthirsty. Zhao Chen handed the wooden box to Changlu. He picked up the dagger and took two steps back and drew his sword out. The blade was only one palm long and sharp, and the blade was shining sharp and cold light in the sunlight.

It's a magic dagger.

It is the decoration of this scabbard, how did he think it is more suitable for women to protect themselves?

My daughter likes rubies the most, and the prince knows this.

A turbulent heart arose, but he was calm on his face. Zhao Chen praised the dagger and thanked him again and again.

Tang Rui kept observing Zhao Chen quietly. Seeing that he did not notice his little thoughts, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt a sense of secret joy. As long as Zhao Chen brought this gift home, as long as Cancan saw it, he would definitely take it for himself.

In the afternoon, the queen sent someone to invite him.

Tang Rui went to change his clothes.

"What's the matter with my mother calling me?" Tang Rui asked calmly when he arrived at Fengyi Palace.

The queen looked at her son who had grown into a green bamboo with a smile. Unlike his father, her son was healthy and both civil and military. She was only thirteen years old and was half a head taller than her.

"Brother Fu'er is here," the queen waved her hand and called her nickname affectionately. After Tang Rui sat beside her, the queen smiled and patted her hand, and said softly: "Brother Fu'er has grown up and will be chosen as a crown princess in two years. Yesterday, my father and I chose a few palace maids for you. Now you can choose one that you are satisfied with?"

The royal princes and grandchildren were arranged to serve the palace maids at the age of thirteen to teach men and women, so that the prince would not secretly find someone in private and be deceived by others because of curiosity.

Tang Rui lowered his eyes, "It depends on his father, mother and mother."

The queen smiled with relief. Although her son, although he didn't like serving the palace maids, he has been sensible since childhood and knows to follow the rules.

She asked someone to bring a few palace maids over.

He doesn't look outstanding, but he is better than his figure. He looks like he is sixteen or seventeen years old.

Tang Rui glanced at it and pointed at one casually.

The queen nodded and ordered someone to lead the palace maid to the East Palace.

Tang Rui stood up and said goodbye. The queen knew that her son was probably a little shy and did not persuade her.

On the evening of the day, when Zhao Chen returned to the Marquis' Mansion, he asked Chen Ping to send Tang Rui's gift to the warehouse and was not allowed to be taken out. Just when the Zhao family was sharing family life, in the Prince's bedroom of the East Palace, Tang Rui coldly scolded the palace maid who had taken off her clothes and left, and his face was pale.

The next morning, the incident of the Eastern Palace had just reached the emperor and the queen's ears, and Tang Rui came to ask for the emperor.

Emperor Ding'an valued this son the most and immediately asked someone to invite Tang Rui in.

The idle people retreated, and only father and son were left in the hall.

Emperor Ding'an looked at his son's white face and called the person to his side: "Is it because of what happened last night?"

Tang Rui's face turned pale. He moved his lips and suddenly knelt down, leaned on Emperor Ding'an's knees and said in a muffled voice: "Father, you know, I don't like to serve the palace maids. I feel irritated when I see them, but I don't think this is a big problem. But last night, I saw that woman taking off her clothes in front of me, and suddenly I wanted to vomit. Father, is it inappropriate for my son to do this?"

Emperor Ding'an's heart skipped a beat.

He was in poor health since childhood and finally got the eldest son. He was ecstatic and worried that his son would have physical problems. After all, it was only toxic for medicine, and he had to take a lot of medicine every year. After getting Brother Fu, he cared about his son's health every day. His son grew up healthily day by day. Perhaps he had a heart disease and had better health, but in the past two years of hard work, he had obviously collapsed.

Now that his son is about to become an adult, he wants to hold his grandson as soon as possible, so he doesn't have to worry at all.

But his son actually said that he couldn't look down on women? Is there still something wrong with his son's health?

"Don't think too much. Maybe that palace maid is not in line with your opinion. My father asked your mother to choose a few more beautiful ones for you." Emperor Ding'an patted his eldest son's shoulder lovingly.

Tang Rui raised his head for a long time.

The next month, every night, the beautiful palace maid, Huan Feiyan, was sent to the prince's bedroom, and then was driven out without exception. The emperor and the queen were completely anxious. Doctor Xuan checked the prince carefully on the grounds that the prince was not feeling well to see if there were any hidden dangers. The Imperial Hospital was taking action personally, but no problems were found.

Emperor Ding'an was worried and sick.

Tang Rui apologized for guilt: "My son is guilty, which makes his father sick." He had no choice but to say that he only wanted a girl in his life, and his father would definitely not agree, and would implicate Cancan. Now, this is the case first. When he ascends the throne in the future, he doesn't have to care about the opinions of others.

Emperor Ding'an coughed and sighed: "Don't worry, it may be that you are young, let's take a look at this time next year."

Tang Rui felt extremely guilty and served the emperor day and night.

This matter finally came to an end.

Tang Rui understood that this move was just a delaying strategy, and he could not always pretend to be sick, especially important matters related to his offspring.

He began to send people to pay attention to the movements in the Marquis of Wuying's Mansion, and finally found an opportunity when Zhao Cancan went to Longen Temple with his mother to burn incense in April of the following year.

Zhao Cancan led his maid to enjoy the flowers in the back mountain. When she saw Tang Rui suddenly flashing, she was stunned. She used her eyes to signal the maid to not panic. She asked Tang Rui curiously: "What are you doing here?" Today, Longen Temple closed its doors and only treated their family, but as the prince, Tang Rui was not worth making a fuss about being able to come in.

Tang Rui stared at the girl who was getting harder to meet, with a bright look, "I have something to say to you."

Zhao Cancan smiled and asked the maid to hide away. While enjoying the flowers, he casually said: "Tell me, but I advise you to tell me a long story. After a long time, my mother will come to find me."

Tang Rui's palms were covered in sweat. Looking at the girl who was no one to enjoy the flowers, he suddenly felt powerless. From childhood to adulthood, he had never been so nervous in front of others. Even his father would not put him under pressure. Only Zhao Cancan. Every time he saw her, he was nervous. From worrying that she didn't like to play with him, gradually he became worried that she would not understand his wishes and promised to marry someone else.

"Cancan, last year I heard Brother Rong say you want to buy gifts for the Grand Tutor. In the next few days, I will go shopping on the street as long as I have the chance. I hope I can meet you by chance. I still don't give up until the Grand Tutor's birthday. I gave the Grand Tutor a dagger inlaid with rubies. I hope you will like it after seeing it."

Zhao Cancan raised his eyebrows and picked a crape myrtle flower.

Since Tang Rui spoke, he decided to make a clear idea. He strode to her and looked down at her side with Xianjing: "Last year, my mother arranged for me to serve the palace maid. I pretended that I was sick and didn't want any of them, which made my father sick. Cancan, do you know why I did this?"

It seemed like a fire on his chest, he mustered up the courage to hold her hand and expressed his feelings anxiously: "Because I like you, I have liked you since I was a child, I only like you. Cancan, I know you must want to marry a husband like the Grand Tutor, and I will wholeheartedly treat you. Cancan, as long as you promise to marry me, I will not touch anyone except you."

Zhao Cancan ignored his hands and just looked up at him: "Then I won't agree to you, you will touch anyone?"

The peach blossom eyes were shimmering, as if he was asking casually, but he seemed to be vaguely tempted.

Tang Rui was stunned and immediately said, "I said, I will not touch anyone except you."

Zhao Cancan pursed his lips and smiled, "Wouldn't he be alone all his life?"

This sentence has a different meaning. Tang Rui frowned and noticed that the girl was about to retract her hand. He held it tightly: "No, if you don't agree, I will try my best to marry you. Cancan, I like you, so I want you to like me too, marry me happily. If you don't marry, then I will... use any means."

"Say it again." Zhao Cancan suddenly looked up and stared at him.

Tang Rui's face turned red, but hesitated to her, "I, I will marry you, and you can only marry me."

"You say it again." Unable to pull out his hand, Zhao Cancan stepped on the boy's boots and crushed them hard.

Tang Rui took a breath in pain, but refused to change his words: "I just like you, I have liked you since I was a child. No one can marry you except me."

Zhao Cancan snorted, moved his feet away and asked him: "Tell me, how did you pretend to be sick and what kind of illness you pretended to be sick."

Her topic changed quickly, and Tang Rui was surprised and embarrassed at first, but she stared at her with her eyes and had to say it.

Zhao Cancan listened quietly and suddenly interrupted him: "They have taken off all their clothes?"

Tang Rui was still looking at the awkward place next to her. When she heard her ask, she casually said, "I don't know, I'm sitting behind the screen and asking them to take off their clothes. Changlu said." After saying that, he came back and blushed and defended himself, "I really didn't look at it at all. Cancan, don't think too much."

"I didn't think of anything." Zhao Cancan suddenly pulled his hand back and took a few steps back to ask him: "The emperor is a big deal. Are you not afraid that the emperor will destroy your position as the prince because of your health?"

Speaking of this, Tang Rui's face regained its calmness and said almost comfortingly: "You are too worried. There are two princes in the palace. The second brother is lazy and playful. The father has never looked down on him. I have to choose a concubine to marry him in the past two years. When I marry you, I will recover without medicine." After speaking, my face turned red again, and I lowered my head and didn't dare to look at others. After all, this was a bit dirty.

Zhao Cancan was not shy at all, but said sarcastically with some disappointment: "So that's the case. I thought you didn't even want the throne to marry me."

Tang Rui's face changed, and finally chose to tell the truth: "I want both you and the throne. When I can take it all, I will naturally have the best of both worlds."

"What if I can only choose one?" Zhao Cancan asked him with a smile.

Tang Rui also smiled, walked up to her, looked down at her eyes: "If there is no if, I said I can ask for it all, I will definitely ask for it all. Cancan, marry me, I will definitely treat you well."

Zhao Cancan raised his head slightly and looked at the boy calmly. His face turned redder again, just like when he was a child, and then walked away with a smile: "I don't like someone I like now, so it's nothing to marry you. You just want to marry me. Since your father agrees, my father also has to agree. You can find a way. As long as my father agrees, I will listen to him marry you."
