Chapter 456: The Emperor and the Empress Arrive
"Hurry and save people," Zhu Jingyuan was the first to shout.
Everyone gathered around the railing at this moment and leaned out towards the lake. They only saw Zhu Jinghong lying quietly, as if he was waiting to die.
At this moment, everyone finally understood that this thirteenth brother was "dead", so he put life and death aside.
He is really a straight man, he would rather bend than bend and even risk his life
At this moment, many people have been stamped with Zhu Jinghong so deep in their hearts that no one will doubt him. Straightforward.
After Zhu Jingyuan shouted out, all the servants on the scene jumped into the lake. They were all very active at this time. If Zhu Jinghong died, they would all die as well.
"Your Majesty"
Baochai also wanted to jump into the lake, but Yuanchun, Chen Zhi and others stopped her, obviously not wanting her to jump again and cause trouble.
The eunuchs surrounded Zhu Jinghong in the water and swam with him towards the shore. After a few breaths, he was carried to the shore.
From the time he fell into the water to the time he was rescued, it definitely took less than a minute, which shows how efficient the eunuch was in working hard.
Among them, the best performer is Yu Hai. After all, he is Zhu Jinghong's eunuch.
The prince and others immediately gathered around, but at this time Zhu Jinghong had fallen asleep, making everyone more and more worried about him.
"My lord, my lord, nothing can happen to you. How can you live without me?"
Zhu Jinghong's performance is over, and now it's time for Baochai to show off.
No matter how noble and elegant he is usually, he becomes vulgar when he reveals his "true feelings". Baochai's reaction at this moment was just right.
While she was crying, Yuanchun had ordered the eunuch to pass the medicine to the doctor, and Chen Zhi had someone go to the house to get good medicine.
When Baochai was crying, Zhu Yunsheng also cried with her, followed by Yang Jingting, Daiyu and others.
"Send the thirteenth brother back to the palace first," Zhu Jingyuan said.
It's troublesome to lie here all the time. You have to change into clean clothes first, because the wet wind and cold will get into your body.
"Baochai, please send your thirteenth brother to the palace quickly." Chen Zhi stepped forward and helped him up.
"Hurry up and carry it back," Zhu Jingyuan also said.
As a result, Zhu Jinghong was carried to the bedroom by the eunuchs. Baochai and other female family members followed him, but a group of Zhu family men stayed behind.
"I'm afraid I have to report what happened today to my father and mother," Zhu Jingyuan said slowly.
But everyone knows that this is nonsense, and they can all confirm that the news is on the way to the palace.
It was originally a birthday banquet to celebrate, but it turned into what happened tonight. Looking back on what just happened, everyone present felt that it was outrageous.
But one thing they guessed was right. As soon as the messenger they sent entered the imperial city, Zhu Xianming, who was having dinner with the queen, received the report.
After reading the situation, Zhu Xianming's expression was gloomy and uncertain, which puzzled Yang Qingyin who was sitting opposite.
"What's the matter?" Yang Qingyin asked.
Zhu Xianming said calmly, "Old Thirteen, he can't think of jumping into the lake."
The emperor Shengming Zhuzhao naturally understood that the so-called jumping into the lake should be the boy's temper, but this This time it was just more serious.
"What"
Yang Qingyin was immediately frightened and almost fainted. Fortunately, the female officer beside her reacted in time to support her.
Two days ago, Zhu Jinghong had sex after drinking. She would think that her son was showing his temper, but something like jumping into the lake made her lose her sense of proportion.
"Queen, Queen, are you okay?" Zhu Xianming quickly stood up and stepped forward.
After a few breaths, Yang Qingyin calmed down, grabbed Zhu Xianming's clothes, and quickly asked, "Is Old Thirteen okay?"
"He was rescued when he fell into the water. He should be rescued." No problem."
Zhu Xianming said it as calmly as possible, for fear that the queen would be anxious about what was going on.
"Let's go to Prince Xiang's Mansion. I have to go see Thirteen." Yang Qingyin struggled to get up.
"He is fine, it's already late, just send someone to take a look."
Compared with Zhu Jinghong, Zhu Xianming was more worried about his wife. The queen has always been in poor health. good.
"I have to go and see for myself, otherwise I won't feel at ease," Yang Qingyin said firmly.
"But this"
"I have to go see him, I have to go"
Sighing, Zhu Xianming had no choice but to nod, and then ordered people to go immediately Go and arrange.
While they were waiting, reports came back one after another, conveying that Zhu Jinghong’s life was safe and also restoring the details of his fall into the water.
"The year I die, I will be seventeen and I will force him to death." Yang Qingyin's tears fell.
"This kid is used to talking nonsense, and his words have no importance, so don't think too much about it," Zhu Xianming consoled him.
But at this moment, Zhu Xianming thought of another point. Unofficial history records that Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty said similar words.
However, the reason why Li Shimin said this was very special, because he was lamenting that he killed his brother and forced his father.
Now, similar words were said by his own son, which somewhat made Zhu Xianming feel uncomfortable.
Could it be that this boy also wanted to learn from Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty?
But when he thought of Lao Shisan’s virtue, Zhu Xianming sneered. Regardless of his character, temperament and ability, what kind of thing does this boy have? Not even comparable to Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.
After all, even he is just equal in terms of achievements
When the emperor was "thinking wildly", Yang Qingyin wiped her tears and asked, "Your Majesty, I am also doing this for you." He is good, am I really wrong?"
Zhu Xianming replied, "He is just too indulgent, so it is difficult for him to understand your painstaking efforts."
But at this time he was also sighing, old This boy Thirteen is really stubborn, he just indulges himself if he can’t achieve his goal, and now he doesn’t even care about his life
So at this moment, ZhuXian Ming thought about how this guy chose the princess last year and risked the disapproval of the world and unexpectedly chose the daughter of the Xue family as the princess.
At that time, he was almost angry to death, but it was the queen's persuasion that made him hold his nose and admit it. Now the situation was completely reversed, and it was him who tried to persuade the queen.
My husband and I were really manipulated by this kid. Thinking of this, Zhu Xianming felt particularly helpless.
At this time, Yang Qingyin continued, "I knew he was straight-tempered, and even nine oxen couldn't get him back from what he had decided, but I still force him to tie his own hands and feet. I am forcing him to go to a dead end."
p>
"Just discipline him strictly from now on" Zhu Xianming replied.
"If we continue to discipline him strictly, I'm afraid he will really die."
While the two were talking, someone came to report from outside, and the honor guards were ready. alright.
To be honest, the preparation process was not fast. It took more than half an hour, and now the emperor and empress could leave the palace.
However, slow time does not mean slow process. The emperor and empress leaving the palace are extremely complicated things.
For example, within this hour, the Five Cities Military and Horse Division mobilized at least 5,000 people to complete martial law along the route from the palace gate to Prince Xiang's Mansion, ensuring that there were no outsiders within 30 feet of the royal driver.
The second is the bodyguards, the left and right Shence Guards and the left and right Huben Guards, each with a thousand retinues. This alone has 4,000 soldiers.
Of course, the above-mentioned personnel are only responsible for peripheral security. The middle-level security is responsible for a thousand people allocated by the Banner Guards. The innermost level is the guards selected by the Dragon Guards. The imperial guards are Qianqing. The door guard is in charge.
The news that the emperor and empress left the palace really alarmed the entire North City dignitaries, and everyone was speculating on what happened.
When they learned that they were going to Prince Xiang's Mansion, these people became even more confused. It didn't make sense that the emperor and queen were going to celebrate their son's birthday.
At this moment, outside the gate of Prince Xiang's Mansion, Prince Zhu Jingyuan led a group of brothers and female family members and had been waiting here for more than a quarter of an hour.
As for Baochai, she was left in Yin'an Palace, and the prince ordered her to take care of her closely. This is what she should do.
The sun has set at this time, and the torches at the end of the long street illuminate the path forward for the emperor and empress. This is their first time to Prince Xiang's Mansion.
Outside the gate of Prince Xiang’s Mansion, the prince and others knelt down and opened the way to the palace so that the sedan chairs of the emperor and empress could pass.
Soon the emperor and empress appeared outside the gate in their sedan chairs, and were carried into the mansion amidst the sounds of worship from the prince and others.
In front of the Chengyun Hall of Prince Xiang's Mansion, when the emperor and empress' sedans landed, the prince and others had already come in from the outside and were waiting respectfully on one side of the sedan.
At this time, the emperor and the queen were riding in the same sedan. After the maids opened the curtain, Zhu Xianming helped the queen out of the sedan.
Immediately afterwards, a female official came forward, took the queen from the emperor's hand, and helped her move forward.
"The sons and ministers kowtow to the father and the emperor, and the mother and queen" are present.The prince and princess paid homage.
"Is Old Thirteen awake?"
"Reporting to my father, I woke up half a moment ago, and now Princess Xue is taking care of her," Zhu Jingyuan replied.
"Yes"
After answering, Zhu Xianming looked at the queen beside him and said, "Let's go and have a look"
The two of them walked inside Go, everyone else looked serious and unsmiling, and followed him towards the depths of the palace.
After passing Chengyun Hall and Cunxin Hall, they entered Yin'anmen, and Zhu Jinghong's bedroom appeared in front of them.
At this moment in the palace, Baochai, who was responsible for taking care of her, was worried. It would be an absolute lie to say that she was not nervous.
However, at this time, Zhu Jinghong, who was lying on the bed, held her hand tightly, his expression full of encouragement.
At this time, there were eunuchs outside shouting, "Your Majesty, the Queen is here!"
Baochai took a deep breath, then squeezed out tears, got up and rushed out of the bedroom, just in time. They met when the emperor and empress were about to enter the room.
"Father, Emperor and Mother, please save him." Baochai knelt down in front of the two emperors.
This is called taking the lead, using his miserable appearance to exaggerate a sad and pitiful atmosphere, in order to guide the emotions of the emperor and empress.
"How is my son?" the queen asked several imperial doctors standing in the palace.
The leading physician replied, "Reporting to the empress, your highness fell into the water and was frightened. However, after the diagnosis and treatment, there is no serious problem. You just need to rest more."
After passing Baochai, the emperor and the empress The two came to the bed, and Zhu Jinghong stared directly at the top of the bed, seemingly unaware of the arrival of the emperor and empress.
At this time, Baochai had been helped up by Yuanchun and Chen Zhi, and she only heard her reminding her, "The prince, father, emperor and mother are here to see you."
After hearing this, Zhu Jinghong still did not react. , as if he has become demented.
Looking at Er's pale face and those empty, lifeless eyes, Yang Qingyin burst into tears again.
"Old Thirteen, your mother is here to see you," Zhu Xianming reminded with a dark face.
At this time, Zhu Jinghong was also under great pressure to remain "sluggish" and unaware, but he didn't know how long he could resist.
As he came closer, Yang Qingyin sat beside the bed and reached out to touch Zhu Jinghong's forehead.
"Thirteen, it was my mother who harmed you, it was my mother who was wrong."
Hearing Yang Qingyin's words, the prince and others present were shocked.
The Queen actually apologized to Old Thirteen. The world was turned upside down. Is there still a common etiquette system?
Although everyone was shouting in their hearts, there was no word at the scene. I can hear the Queen chattering.
Perhaps he felt that this scene was not good for others to see, so Zhu Xianming ordered others to go out, but Baochai was left alone.
“You love martial arts and don’t like studying, so my mother won’t force you to do it, but the northwest is bitterly cold and chaotic, so my mother stopped you for your own good.”
“Now that you have grown up, If you have your own ideas, my mother will not care about you."
"You are my mother's lifeline. How will my mother survive if you don't predict her?"
"Don't commit suicide in the future, my mother can't bear it."
Every sentence was full of mother's care for her son, so much so that Zhu Jinghong shed tears unconsciously. He was really moved.
"Mother" Zhu Jinghong's voice was hoarse.
"Hey, mother is here, mother is here." Yang Qingyin quickly leaned over and held her son's hand tightly.
Slightly turning his head, Zhu Jinghong said slowly, "I am still alive, eating and waiting to die. It is better to die for a hundred years, so you can"
"Nonsense, who said you are waiting to die? "Whatever you want to do, your mother won't stop you, and your father won't stop you either." Yang Qingyin quickly confirmed.
Although she gave birth to three princes, she only had this one son. How could she bear to see him go away.
“I won’t tell you what you do in the future. If you want to ride a horse and shoot arrows, go there. You can also go to the northwest to see the scenery. If you want to do business, shipbuilding or other things, it’s up to you.”
Hearing these words, Zhu Jinghong felt happy. This time he put all his efforts into making a game, withstood the pressure and the risk of failure, and the harvest was not ordinary.
"But you have to promise mother that you must live well, live happily and in high spirits as before"
"Your Majesty, my mother is so concerned, why don't you still care about me?" Thank you, Queen Mother," Baochai reminded.
"Dad, my son is stupid and can't do big things. He wants to do something he likes just so that he doesn't live in vain in this world."
After coughing a few times, Zhu Jinghong continued, " My son would rather be trapped in the palace, eating, drinking, and having diarrhea every day."
Before he finished speaking, Yang Qingyin answered, "Mother knows, mother knows."
"Okay. Take good care of yourself and stop thinking nonsense."
"Yes" Zhu Jinghong responded.
As for Zhu Xianming at this time, he thought of more things at this moment
Is Lao Shisan really desperate and decadent, or is he using this to force the queen to make concessions? In fact, his mentality has always been Very good
For a moment, he couldn't decide which one it was, but in an instant he threw away these thoughts.
How could a straight person like Lao Shisan have such complicated thoughts, not to mention he was so benevolent and filial? Zhu Xianming thought so.
Yes, even if Zhu Jinghong has been rebellious to this extent, in Zhu Xianming's eyes he is still a good boy of benevolence and filial piety, and he has just made a small mistake at the moment.
It can be seen that as long as the parents trust them, the so-called "naughty children" will have a great time. Even if they do bad things, their parents will attribute it to the world's fault.
Beside the bed, the emperor and empress cared for Zhu Jinghong before watching their precious son fall asleep "tired".
At this moment, the two of them seemed to have returned to many years ago, and the scene of raising their young son together was still vivid in their minds.
"Baochai, you have been more tired these days and take good care of him," the queen said softly, for fear of waking her son.
At this time, Zhu Xianming said, "Okay, my son has also seen it. It's time to go back."
After seeing that his son was fine, Yang Qingyin felt relieved. Naturally, she was even less worried. It would embarrass the emperor.
"Let's go back"
Seeing the emperor and empress leave, Baochai wanted to follow them to see them off, but the empress stopped her and asked her to stay in the palace to take care of them.
So Baochai stayed in the palace as instructed, while the emperor and empress went straight out.
When they arrived outside the palace, the prince and others immediately greeted him, with their hands lowered and their eyebrows lowered, as if they were listening to the instructions.
"老四老六"
Hearing the emperor's cold tone, the two people who were called felt anxious, extremely frightened and came forward and replied, "My son and minister are here"
p>
"Before Old Thirteen fell into the lake, you two were both here"
"Yes"
"Since you were both here, why didn't you stop him when you saw his repeated lies? Why did he end up falling into the lake?"
This sentence made it difficult for the two princes to answer, because they knew that the old man was venting his anger on them.
"Dad, my son at that time"
Zhu Jingyuan was about to explain, but he heard Zhu Xianming angrily said, "You are the brother who does this"
The emperor's tone was particularly harsh , Zhu Jingyuan was so frightened that he immediately knelt down to apologize, and then the others also knelt down.
Standing at this time is too conspicuous, and it is safer to kneel. This was the thought of all the princes present.
At this moment, Queen Yang Qingyin said, "Let's all go back and let Old Thirteen rest in peace. Don't mention what happened today again." Please remember to bookmark it. The latest and fastest website without anti-theft is free. To find and add books, you can join the qq group 952868558
