Exit from the Prince's East Palace and walk all the way to Ciqing Palace.
As the sun set, two figures, one red and one yellow, cast two long shadows on the bluestone floor.
It was the emperor who spoke first: "You don't have any grudges against me?"
Hong Yan smiled and said: "What do you mean, brother emperor? Did you mean that you didn't save some face for me, the emperor's uncle, in front of the prince just now? How can I be such a stingy person? It's my fault. I specially taught the prince a wrong way, saying
I spilled the beans and told him that we bribed the imperial doctor to eat candied haws, and the emperor was afraid that the prince would learn bad things, so he lost his temper, I know."
Hong Yan's generosity completely dispelled the emperor's uneasiness.
Yes, the prince is young and his mind is not yet stable. He cannot discern clearly and does not know what is good for him and what is not good for him.
Once someone instigates a few words, it is easy to lose sight of one's identity.
You can see old age at the age of three. If your temperament is fixed when you are young, it will be difficult to change it when you grow up.
Just like a potted plant, when new branches sprout, if you use a rope to pull and fix them in one direction, the branches will deform and grow in that direction.
Just now, Hongyan told the children in an unruly manner about the tricks they used to do when they were young, how they knew how to bribe the imperial doctor since they were young, and how they had evil intentions. These things should not be learned or heard by a five-year-old child.
Moreover, Hongyan also used things outside the palace as a temptation to please the prince, so that the prince was willing to give everything to Hongyan for some snacks outside the palace. Although the prince was young, he might just like Hongyan's talk.
But if things go on like this, Hong Yan's "follow-up guidance" will allow the prince to truly contribute everything.
The emperor is most worried about Hong Yan attacking the prince.
However, looking at Hong Yan who now frankly admitted his mistakes, he still looked like the innocent and cute child who followed him around every day when he was a child. He thought that maybe he was really being too worried.
"It's better to be careful when talking in front of the prince in the future. If the prince really follows the way we did back then and bribed the imperial doctors to bring things outside the palace, if any of the imperial doctors have evil intentions and the prince is young and ignorant, he will bring poisonous things.
What should I do if something comes in?"
"I know, brother Huang!"
"I just sounded a little more serious."
"I know that the emperor is nervous about the prince. He only has one child, so it is inevitable that he will be nervous."
"I don't know if it's because of my poor fortune that my heirs are so meager. There should have been one more, whether it's a son or a daughter, but now there's no hope."
"Brother Huang is talking about Concubine Li?"
"Don't mention her, that jealous woman, I don't even want to see her now."
"What's wrong?"
"You still don't know her temper. I used to like her too much, so I raised her to be arrogant. Ever since I drafted her, she has been pretending to be sick for me. Even when the imperial doctor went to treat her, she kicked her out.
She just wants to use a bitter trick to make me feel bad, but I won't do what she wants."
"How could this happen?" Hong Yan was surprised, "As far as I know, Concubine Li is not such a jealous woman!"
"I didn't think so before, but now I envy you and your fourth brother, who are monogamous and don't have such messy and troublesome things."
Hong Yan smiled softly: "Haha, Hong Luan and I are indeed getting along well. Ever since that bitch Xia Rongling left, things have gotten even better."
The emperor paused, stopped, and looked back at Hong Yan: "I asked you before if you had ever complained about me. You must hate me very much for Xia Ronling!"
Hong Yan was silent for a long time and looked up at the sky: "I know that the emperor had no choice but to run away from home because I was too willful and did not consider the emperor's situation. But now everything has passed. After the rain, everything will be fine.
Get better."
After looking at Hong Yan for a while, the emperor chuckled and nodded: "Yes, everything is over. Now all that remains is to eradicate the roots and find the remnants of the Xia family. This will not only avenge you and Hong Luan, but also relieve the hatred in my heart."
, In these years, Xia Hui used the tiger talisman in his hand and his status as a veteran of three dynasties to cover the sky with one hand in the court, and did not take me seriously. Even if he dies, I will not let go of his heirs."
"The Xia family probably knew this, and that's why they ran away shortly after Xia Hui's death. If the emperor finds out any clues about that family, remember to leave Xia Rongling with me."
"how?"
The emperor looked at him, but after listening to Hong Yan's words, he gritted his teeth and said: "If it falls into my hands, I will definitely make her life worse than death, cut into pieces with a thousand cuts, and die of torture."
Looking at Hong Yan's expression, the emperor looked a little startled, and then his eyes were cold: "If you don't do it, I will do it for you."
Brothers know each other, they have the same handsomeness and the same coldness.
"Thank you, my dear brother."
"By the way, I also have a big gift. I originally planned to give it to you after your child is born, but now I take it out in advance to celebrate that your child is safe and sound."
"Big gift?"
"Tomorrow, I will send someone to Prince Jin's Mansion. Let's go. I'm afraid Feng Hongluan is also waiting impatiently."
*
Feng Hongluan was not in a hurry. The sun was setting and the dusk was sinking. She was not bored while waiting for Hong Yan to come back in Ciqing Palace, because Princess Qinyang actually came to find her.
About the time Wan Qing went to Qiyang Palace to look for Hong Yan, thinking that Hong Yan had gone to Qiyang Palace, Princess Qinyang knew that Feng Hongluan and his wife were paying tribute, so she came to Ciqing Palace to have a chat with Feng Hongluan.
Talking about Xiao Xu, the two actually have no friendship, but because Hong Yan likes this seventh sister and Princess Qinyang has a very weak temper, Feng Hongluan also likes Princess Qinyang very much.
Princess Qinyang came here to ask for something, and it was something that Hong Yan could not know.
Feng Hongluan probably didn't expect that Princess Qinyang, who had sworn never to marry and shied away from all marriages and weddings, was not actually so indifferent that she would needlessly live alone all her life. She just never found the one who made her "thump."
A heart-warming person.
"You and Hong Yan are so in love, you should know how it feels. Maybe it's a little embarrassing to say it, but the first time I saw him, the scene in front of me suddenly blurred, and he was the only one left in the whole world, sitting quietly.
There, he suddenly raised his head and smiled at me, "Don't laugh at me as a nymphomaniac. It's not the first time I've met a man. It's just that he is the most special. I say this, do you understand?"
