Four hundred and fourteenth chapter children's relatives
The convoy escorting Zhao Chu was about to set off when he saw Zhao Yu coming on a horse and stopped next to the carriage.
Zhao Chu was slightly stunned when he saw this younger brother. During this period, he always dreamed of the past that he couldn't look back on. He felt ashamed of this younger brother. If it weren't for the mistake he made back then, Zhao Yu wouldn't have such a tragic childhood.
"Brother Ninth..." He called out softly, and he didn't know what to say to the other party.
Zhao Yu said, "Fifth Brother, I'll give you a ride." He just thought it was their brotherhood for so many years.
Zhao Chu felt mixed feelings in his heart, and finally said softly, "Okay."
When they went there, maybe they would never have the chance to drink, chat and play chess again, and their lives were adjusted one by one, but the good times in the past were not all fake, and there was naturally true love.
The fall of the queen and the prince was like an earthquake in the capital. Everyone was discussing it in private. Some elderly people couldn't help but be worried. After all, without a crown prince, it means that the country is unstable.
Rong Jingqiu was sitting with Princess Qinglan to drink tea. When Jin Duoduo saw the little Zhao Youyou, he couldn't help but be curious and kept turning back to Princess Qinglan and said, "Brother."
Princess Qinglan said "Yeah" twice without sincerity and said perfunctory to her son, then said to Rong Jingqiu, who was making tea, "I heard what you said, the Lantern Festival was really thrilling. Fortunately, my family was so uncomfortable that day, so I didn't go there, otherwise I wouldn't know what the situation would be?"
"Don't worry, I can't die." Rong Jingqiu joked.
"Go and go, do you think I don't know. You said in disguise that I am a disaster." Princess Qinglan pretended to be unhappy, and finally sighed, "The queen was quite glorious during her lifetime, but she didn't expect that she would wrap her life in the straw mat in the end."
Rong Jingqiu was not at all moved by the queen's miserable fate. Many people who died that day should not die. Since the queen launched a palace revolution, she should have expected the worst result, so she can only say that she will blame herself for this fate.
She pushed the brewed tea bowl to Princess Qinglan, "Try the new tea that I just came out this year."
Princess Qinglan did not mention the disappointment of the queen, and then talked about the popular clothing in the capital this year.
Rong Jingqiu said, "It's already spring now. Make two new clothes and you can wear it when the spring outing is over."
"Good idea, I will make the same clothes for their father and son, which will definitely be interesting." Princess Qinglan smiled. Her son was already able to leave and talk, and just took him out to see the world.
Rong Jingqiu's child is still young, so he doesn't plan to do this, but when he thinks that his father and son can wear the same clothes in the future, he can't help but yearn for it.
At this moment, Pearl came in and reported, "Princess, Doctor Xu is here."
"Why, are you feeling uncomfortable?" Princess Qinglan said in surprise. Looking at Rong Jingqiu's appearance, she didn't seem to be sick.
"I'm fine, it's very good." Rong Jingqiu responded, and then said to Zhenzhu, "Please invite him in."
Not long after, Doctor Xu came in and immediately saluted the two of them.
Rong Jingqiu said softly, "Doctor Xu doesn't need to be polite," paused, "I remember that the fourth princess has been 'sick' for more than a year, and it's time to get her cured."
Princess Qinglan was slightly surprised. If Rong Jingqiu didn't mention it, she almost forgot that there were four princesses in the capital, Wu. After all, it would be forgotten that people were not in the upper class for a while.
"Her 'illness' should be cured, otherwise the Fourth Prince's Mansion should be the world of concubines."
Rong Jingqiu smiled, "That's what I mean."
Doctor Xu knew the elegant meaning when he heard the sound of Xian. Now that the prince has fallen, there is no lord in the East Palace. It is the time when the princes show their powers. The fourth princess Wu will reappear, and he will definitely be able to mess up a pool of water. At least the chaos in the fourth prince's mansion is indispensable. If the family is incompetent, how can the country and the world be governed?
The Fourth Prince seems to have to ask for blessings.
In the evening, Princess Qinglan was worried about her husband Jin San and did not leave for dinner. Rong Jingqiu sent the mother and son to the carriage and was about to turn back, but when she saw Zhao Yu coming back, she turned around to meet her.
Zhao Yu dismounted the horse and threw the whip to Feng Debao. Then he grabbed Rong Jingqiu's hand and felt a little cold. "The weather is quite cold, why don't you wear one more piece of clothing?"
"It's not cold." Rong Jingqiu smiled. When she was about to say something, she saw that Feng Debao's eyes were a little red and swollen. It was obvious that he had cried when he said goodbye to his godmother Feng Shuangbaoshi, so she looked at Zhao Yu worriedly. Although Zhao Yu didn't say anything, Zhao Chu was still his fifth brother after all.
"What are you looking at?" Zhao Yu was uncomfortable being seen by her.
"See if you are sad?" Rong Jingqiu said bluntly. She had no friendship with the maids in the East Palace, so she did not go to see her off.
Zhao Yu said with a normal expression, "What's the matter that I'm going to be sad?" He hugged Rong Jingqiu's waist, "I've known the result for a long time, there's no need to be sad." Then he took out a letter from his cuff and handed it to Rong Jingqiu.
Rong Jingqiu saw that there were Zhao Chu's handwriting and the words Rong Jingji had been written on it. She knew that this was a letter to Rong Jingji. She took the letter with some emotion and sighed, "I will send it to Sister Six tomorrow."
Rong Jingji was afraid that the prince would feel uncomfortable after such a fate.
Sure enough, when she saw the letter brought by Rong Jingqiu, the calm face was filled with turmoil. She also heard about the deposed prince of the Eastern Palace in the nunnery. She couldn't sleep at night during this period, and always got up in the middle of the night and sat until dawn.
"Is he okay?"
When Rong Jingqiu heard this, she was stunned for a while, and then she realized who Rong Jingji was referring to. "It is said that she is in good spirits. Although she is banned from the circle and has no freedom, she is still a prince after all, and she still has the treatment she deserves. You don't have to worry." After a pause, "In fact, from a different perspective, this ending may not be a bad thing for the prince."
Zhao Yu didn't say that, but he must have taken care of the officials guarding Zhao Chu, and would not bully Zhao Chu's family.
Only when people live can they have hope. This is an eternal truth. Zhao Chu is the same. Only when they live can they have a future. As for what the future will be, no one can tell it clearly now.
Rong Jingji nodded with a wry smile, "Three sisters, I know."
Rong Jingqiu gently patted her hand, found a reason to go out to burn incense and worship Buddha, and gave her time to read the letter alone. Although Rong Jingji and Zhao Chu were not married, there might not be any friendship.
Only after the time was over, she turned around.
Looking at Rong Jingji who was crying at this moment, she sighed, took out a veil and walked up to wipe her tears gently, "Sister Six, why are you doing this?"
Rong Jingji leaned on Rong Jingqiu's shoulder and sobbed for a while before handing the divorce letter to Rong Jingqiu, "He let me free." Although this freedom is meaningless at this time, she still felt so uncomfortable that she patted her heart, "Three sister, I feel sore in my heart."
Rong Jingqiu didn't expect Zhao Chu to do this. After being slightly surprised, she suddenly realized that Zhao Chu wanted to cut off all the involvement with Rong Jingji, not only to repay her physical freedom, but also to repay her heart freedom.
"Sister Six, since this is his intention, don't let it down," she patted Rong Jingji's back to comfort her emotions, and looked at the lush spring scene outside, "He hopes you can live a good life for the rest of your life."
After a while, Rong Jingji stopped her tears. When she looked at the divorce letter again, her mood had calmed down a lot. In fact, how could she not be moved by these days in the East Palace? After all, Zhao Chu has never treated her well and even protected her. Even if she is cold-hearted, she is still a young girl in the flowery world.
But she restrained that emotion and did not let herself get deeply in. She knew very well that he would never belong to her alone. Even if he was banned from the circle now, there was still no shortage of women around him.
From childhood to adulthood, when she saw her mother-in-law and aunt doing all the tricks to compete for favor, she was very despised and secretly swearing in her heart that it was not a relationship that belonged to her entirely, she would rather not.
"Sister Three, I know." Now she is the former Miss Rong Liu again.
She did not make a request to see Zhao Chu and his son again. Such requests were very rude and ignored the overall situation. Even if she was concerned about it, she could only hide it in her heart. She could not and did not want to cause trouble for Rong Jingqiu.
But Rong Jingqiu said, "In a few days, I want to send some things to the little emperor grandson. Have you asked me to hand them over to him?"
The little emperor's grandson was almost raised by Rong Jingji. She thought that Rong Jingji must be very worried about him, so she took the initiative to propose that she wanted Rong Jingji to truly let go of her worries about this child.
"Sister Three, is it really possible?" Rong Jingji said hurriedly, but soon shook his head, "Sister Three, you don't need to do this for me. Now many people in the capital are staring at His Royal Highness Ninth's every move. It's not a good thing to be too close to the deposed prince at this critical moment..."
"Silly girl," Rong Jingqiu said softly, "It's not to reassure you, but to do this."
Rong Jingji thought about it slightly and immediately realized that Zhao Yu was originally from the prince's sect. Now that the prince has fallen, if he ignores him immediately, it will be a matter of being stabbed to the backbone. I am afraid that the emperor will have a lot of complaints in his heart. After all, Zhao Yu has received a lot of support from the prince.
"Then I'll bother my third sister." She solemnly bowed to Rong Jingqiu.
Rong Jingqiu quickly went to help her and said angrily, "What are you doing? What are our sisters talking about these false rituals?" Help Rong Jingji sit down, "The daughter of the Imperial College Priest and Restaurant you are optimistic about has already proposed to marry Lu Ge'er in the mansion. She will be employed in the next two days, and the date of the wedding has been set. Now it is time to prepare for the wedding..."
As soon as the topic changed, Rong Jingji's eyes suddenly lit up with hope, instantly sweeping away the sadness before.
Rong Jingqiu knew that Rong Lu was always concerned about Rong Jingji's heart, so it was right to mention him, "My father said before that, in the future, someone would come to your hometown, and then your identity as a master Miao'an can disappear. Then, as the daughter of the hometown, you will enter the mansion again as a concubine. Even if someone says that she looks similar, she can make excuses on the same ancestor's bloodline. If there is a suitable young man, she will definitely send you to marry in a grand manner..." After a pause, "Sixth Sister, you still have a long way to go in your life. We must look forward. If you are always confined to the old things, wouldn't you let this youth down?"
Rong Jingji did not think too deeply about the future, but she did not expect that they had planned such a long-term thing for her. What kind of virtue can she be?
"Three sisters, I..."
"Don't say discouraged words, let alone polite words."
Looking at Rong Jingji's serious look, she didn't say anything after all. She just kept this friendship in her heart forever. In this world, she still had many people and things she missed, so that past event in the East Palace should have dispersed with the wind.
With the arrival of early summer, the discussion on the deposed prince was quickly replaced by the family disputes of the fourth prince. After the fourth prince recovered from illness, the fourth princess Wu fought with the concubine for several rounds in order to regain the lost right to give up the right to give up. But these were promoted to the perverts, which immediately made the recently high-profile fourth prince lose face.
After he returned home, he went to Wu directly, "Look at how many jokes you have made for me now?"
Wu sneered, "I'm making a joke? You spoiled that bitch so hard that the earth was full of heaven and earth. Do she still have me as a mistress in her eyes?"
"Don't mess around, this matter has nothing to do with others," the fourth prince said in anger, "You know that I'm at the critical moment now, so forget it if you don't help, don't hold me back, otherwise, I..."
"What do you want?" Wu said coldly, "Learn from the deposed prince. Don't think I don't know that you have been trying hard to win over Ma Shengping recently. Why do you want the Ma family's daughter to replace me?" Speaking of this, she looked angry, "I tell you, you don't think about this, I will never make a place for you even if I die."
Wu knew very well that if a man had the intention of someone to replace her, she would rather drag him down than let him succeed in getting to power, otherwise she would have a good life?
The fourth prince's face turned red, and Wu's words touched his mind. He had indeed thought about the path of marriage. After all, the Ma family and Zhao Yu were still in-laws that were a match for eight knots. If he wanted to win over Ma Shengping, the upstart in the capital, he had to invest more money.
But at this time he slowly calmed down. Seeing Wu's attitude, he wanted to fight him to the death. If this really happened, he would have become a joke after fighting for so many years.
No matter what, I still have to stabilize the Wu family at the moment. "Look at what do you think of? The father is most taboo to the prince collude with his ministers. How could I want to marry the daughter of the Ma family? Besides, his legitimate daughters have all married to the Rong family and asked me to marry a concubine's daughter. I can't afford to lose this person."
Wu said half-believingly, "Do you really think so?"
"If you don't believe it, I swear to show it to you."
Seeing this, Wu really called the Fourth Prince a vicious oath, and she gave up because of this.
The fourth prince said at the sight, "Actually, I want to discuss with you to hire Ma Shengping's daughter to our son. What do you think? Then our two families will be in-laws."
