Chapter 172 172

June 29 is the birthday of King Chu. After more than two months of recuperation, King Chu’s madness has been relieved, and he will go crazy and beat people no longer. As long as Feng Zheng is with him, King Chu can compare. I met people peacefully. In the first two days of holiday, Emperor Xuande also visited once.

When King Chu had his birthday, Feng Zheng didn’t want to make a big deal, so he asked Song Jianing’s family of three to get together.

The king of Chu had always liked Zhao Zhao. Song Jianing wanted his daughter to give a gift. Zhao Zhao was not over two years old and couldn’t do it. Song Jianing put together all the gadgets her daughter had received in the past two years and asked her daughter to put them together. Which one is for the uncle. The little girl looked at each other, and then kept shaking her head.

When Zhao Heng came back, he saw his princess coaxing his daughter, the big gentle, the little cute, and the watery apricot eyes, which washed away the exhaustion he had accumulated in Zhongshu Province that day. At dusk, when the evening breeze turned cooler, Zhao Heng walked to the couch and asked his daughter with a smile: “Go to the garden?”

Zhaozhao immediately dropped the round wooden life peach carving in his hand, and ran towards his father on his short legs, speaking clearly: “Lotus!”

With so many sceneries in Shouwang Mansion, the little princess likes the lotus pond most.

Zhao Heng picked up his daughter, Song Jianing followed, and the family of three went to the back garden.

In the lotus pond, the lotus leaves are green and green, and the lotus flowers are pink and white, and they are slim. There were a few large stones that were flat and flat for people to sit on, and the shade of the weeping willow fell on it, making it more and more cool. Zhao Heng held his daughter and walked to a rock and sat down. As soon as he sat down, Zhao Zhao poked his head into the pond, looking for fish.

Shuang’er promptly handed the porcelain plate in his hand to the princess, which contained fish food. Zhaozhao thought it was delicious for her, so he reached out and grabbed it.

Song Jianing smiled and took it away: “This is for the fish, let’s see.” After speaking, he squeezed a piece of fish food and threw it into the water. A few ripples immediately appeared on the surface of the water. Looking intently, it didn’t take long to see a few red carps floating over, Zhao Zhao’s eyes widened, he looked at his mother, and then at the fish food, as if he understood the connection and grabbed a handful of fish food. Throw it into the water hard.

The mothers and mothers feed together, there are more and more fish, all of them are small red carps with big palms, and the mothers look with gusto.

Zhao Heng held his daughter silently, and his thoughts gradually returned to the court.

The brother’s illness has caused changes in the court day by day. In the past, the courtiers believed that his brother was the future prince. Seeing that his brother was respectful and respectful, now the brother seems to be farther and farther away from the position of the prince. Those courtiers all ran to Rui Wang’s side one after another. When the stars held the moon, King Rui became more cautious, and his father admired him more and more. For the support of the courtiers, his father seemed to intend to close one eye.

The brother’s favor was snatched away by King Rui. Zhao Heng was uncomfortable. It is only now that he can see clearly that although the father is partial to the elder brother, the father also loves the other sons. The eldest brother was sick, and the father turned his love to other princes. It was also human nature. Unlike him, he only regarded the eldest brother as a real brother.

He was thinking about major events, and Song Jianing was still thinking about how to make his daughter please the king of Chu. Looking at the red-tailed and beautiful little fish, thinking that King Chu does not remember anything now, and his temperament is a bit like a child, Song Jianing asked his daughter: “We have so many fish in our family. Would Zhao Zhao give one to his uncle? it is good?”

Zhao Zhao blinked and shook his head again, stingy and cute.

Song Jianing hugged her daughter on her lap and held her daughter’s chubby hand softly to reason: “This year’s New Year, the uncle gave Zhao Zhao a big ingot, and now it’s his birthday, should Zhao Zhao honor his uncle? ? The uncle is happy when you send red carp to the big uncle, and the big aunt will like you more.”

Zhaozhao had just played with that big ingot just now. Looking at so many fish in the pond, the little girl finally nodded.

Song Jianing asked her daughter to pick a red carp. Father Fu heard the voice and called the **** to fetch the fish.

Soon, the little **** brought back three fish pockets. Song Jianing wanted to play, and gave her daughter to the prince’s husband. She took a long fish pocket and stretched it into the water, waiting for the fish to enter the net before collecting, but Zhao Zhao was anxious, and Xiao Fatty grabbed the fish in his mother’s hands. Rod, go up hard, the fish scared away!

Ah clearly.

Song Jianing smiled and kissed his daughter: “Don’t worry, let’s take it slowly.”

When Zhao Heng heard the words, he chewed his wife’s words unconsciously.

Don’t worry, take your time.

Yeah, why is he anxious? The emperor has spoiled his brother for more than ten years, but he hasn’t named the prince for a long time. The officials are sure that the brother will be the crown prince. Unexpectedly, the brother suddenly went crazy and lost everything. Now the father has only been partial to the Rui Wang for two or three months, not to mention that the father has no intention of establishing a prince, that is, he has been established, and the prince can change at any time in a day. The emperor is in a state of power, and no one can tell until the last moment, it is better to watch the changes and accumulate energy secretly.

After figuring it out, Zhao Heng stretched his brows, grabbed the fishing rod in his wife’s hand, looked at the timing, and caught a small red carp as soon as he shot.

“The prince is still the most powerful.” Song Jianing smiled and slapped Future Dragon fart.

Zhaozhao has everything to learn: “Daddy is great!”

Zhao Heng smiled while holding his daughter, but he looked at his wife. Song Jianing felt that the prince’s eyes seemed to praise her.

On the day of the banquet, Zhao Heng prepared a celadon fish tank for Father Fu to fish in. This was the birthday gift of their family of three.

The Palace of the King of Chu.

With this illness, the King of Chu was thin and still tall and stalwart, but he didn’t have the formidable domineering aura of the old days. He put on a light-colored robe with a dazed expression, and he actually looked like a scholar. It used to be scary for King Chu to frown, but now he only frowns because Feng Zheng asked him to take medicine and other trivial matters…

But Feng Zheng was already satisfied and helped her husband tidy up early.

She has been thinking about taking care of her husband. Cheng is still young, but the five-year-old Sheng is getting more and more sensible. His mother has no time to accompany his younger brother. Sheng has stayed by his brother every day, and the younger brother fell asleep. Brother Sheng will go to see his mother. The father was upset, and the boy stood obediently watching his mother give his father some medicine. When the father was happy, Brother Sheng coquettishly let the father hug him.

Hearing that the three uncles and aunts were coming, Brother Sheng was the first to ran to the front yard and stretched out his hand towards the third uncle from a distance.

Zhao Heng smiled, leaned over, and easily picked up his nephew.

Brother Sheng leaned on his third uncle’s shoulders, his small hands tightly around his third uncle’s neck. Before his father fell ill, he felt that his father’s shoulders were the strongest. As long as his father held him, he was not afraid of anything. Now, only when he is held by his third uncle, brother Sheng will not be afraid, even his mother can’t compare to his third uncle.

Zhao Heng faintly felt the change in his nephew’s mood, his mood became more complicated, and he patted the boy’s thin and tender shoulders lightly.

“brother.”

Zhao Zhao leaned in his mother’s arms and shouted with a smile. Brother Sheng turned his head and saw the beautiful sister, the boy smiled happily.

Zhao Heng and Song Jianing put down their children respectively, and then Brother Sheng led Zhaozhao ahead, and their husband and wife followed slowly.

“younger brother!”

When I arrived at the Shangfang, I saw the other little boy standing in front of him. Zhaozhao let go of his brother and ran over happily, followed by Brother Sheng. The siblings got together, the two elder brothers were stupid, the youngest sister was white and lovely, and the atmosphere became relaxed.

Zhao Heng looked at his brother.

King Chu was still not used to seeing “the stranger” and looked at him defensively. The tall man actually hid behind the petite Feng Zheng. Feng Zheng laughed helplessly, but Zhao Heng was so sad that his brother had become like this, and quickly looked away. Zhaozhao played with his elder brother and younger brother for a while, remembering the present, and leaving the little brothers behind, the little girl ran to the big uncle and pointed to the celadon jar held by Fu Gonggong and said: “Fish, to the big uncle!”

Father Fu stepped forward quickly.

A red carp swims in the elegant celadon tank, the water is clear, and the red carp sways its head and tail leisurely.

Feng Zheng was startled slightly, his eyes blurred unconsciously, remembering that when Brother Sheng was two years old, the emperor had rewarded the prince with a moiré glass jar that was a tribute from the Western Regions. The prince happily carried it back with two red carps in it. . The bathtub was placed on the couch, and the prince held Brother Sheng. She knelt and sat on the side, coaxing her son to tease the fish.

Recalling that time, Feng Zheng looked back at the man behind him, and seeing him staring straight at the fish tank, as if remembering something, Feng Zheng’s heartbeat suddenly increased and he couldn’t help asking nervously, “The lord can remember, Have you also sent brother Sheng red carp?”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Heng and Song Jianing looked at King Chu at the same time, and Brother Sheng looked at the fish tank suspiciously over there, but didn’t remember.

King Chu only stared at the red carp.

Zhao Heng looked at Minister Fu, and Duke Fu slowly walked over and tentatively handed the fish tank to King Chu.

King Chu, who had been resisting strangers, stretched out his hand to catch it, and then looked down. Feng Zheng waited expectantly. After waiting for a full cup of tea, seeing the king of Chu just staring at the fish, Feng Zheng’s hopes in his eyes dimmed a little, and he invited Song Jianing to sit in the hall with a little embarrassment.

The children were playing in the yard. The king of Chu held the fish tank and Zhao Heng stayed outside.

The two concubines sat inside and talked about the situation of King Chu’s recovery. Feng Zheng remembered something and asked, “Sister Yu will be over a hundred days, right?” Princess Rui’s child born in Kaichun was another daughter, named Yu. Sister. Although the palace of the Chu Palace thanked guests behind closed doors, Feng Zheng remembered several of the palace’s favors. She asked Song Jianing to give gifts to Sister Yu on the full moon, and she had also prepared for the Hundred Day ceremony in advance.

Song Jianing said, she has received the post on the sixth day of July.

Feng Zheng sighed: “It’s not easy for her.” There is a concubine beside Rui Wang and a noble concubine. It would be better if Concubine Rui could give birth to a son.

Song Jianing turned the tea bowl in his hand, did not answer the conversation, but his eyes fell on his stomach. The daughter was almost two years old, and the prince also loved her. Why hasn’t there been any movement?

In the yard, King Chu was dragged by three children to the beauty in the corridor to sit on top. He put the fish tank on his lap, and Brother Sheng, Brother Cheng, and Zhao Zhao surrounded him to watch. Zhao Heng stayed three steps away, unable to tell whether he was looking after the children or looking after his elder brother who had completely changed.

“I caught it!” Zhao Zhao showed off to his brothers, pointing to the red carp.

Brother Sheng looked at his sister with “awesome” eyes.

Brother Cheng held his father’s thigh in one hand, looked at his brother and sister with big eyes, and suddenly raised his hand to catch the fish. Brother Zhao Zhao and Brother Sheng met each other’s eyes. They didn’t pay attention. Zhao Heng saw it, worried that his little nephew would offend his elder brother, and he was about to raise his foot. Unexpectedly, someone grabbed Cheng’s little bad hand first.

Zhao Heng’s heart tightened. When he was worried that his brother would get angry, King Chu let go of his brother’s little bad hand, and solemnly said to the boy: “This fish can bite people and cannot be caught.”

Will bite?

Brother Cheng was so scared that he immediately hid his hands behind him. Brother Sheng and Zhao Zhao also went to see the biting fish in the celadon tank in surprise. The three children had their heads lowered, and only Zhao Heng noticed the smile at the corner of his brother’s mouth. , As if very proud.

“Big brother?” Zhao Heng tried to keep calm.

King Chu raised his head, his eyes were bright, and when he saw his younger brother standing there, King Chu frowned and said strangely: “Did the third child grow taller?”

Zhao Heng:…

“Daddy is high!” Hearing that the uncle was complimenting his father, Zhaozhao dropped the red carp, smiled and threw it on his father’s lap, and hugged him.

Dad?

King Chu’s eyes widened in shock and looked at Zhao Zhao in disbelief. He remembered that his brother only got married last year. Where did he get his daughter?
