Bastard's Counterattack [Rebirth]

"What's the matter?" Zhao Zeyong suddenly became vigilant.

Emperor Chengtian raised his eyebrows, glanced at King Qing, and replied calmly, "Yiqi asked to use the unfinished Eighth Prince's Mansion as the Third Princess' Mansion to save the court money."

"What?" Zhao Zeyong was greatly surprised and stunned.

"Third sister actually said that?" King Rui was also surprised.

Emperor Chengtian's happiness and anger were invisible, and he nodded slowly: "Oh."

"She lives deep in the harem, how did she know that the treasury is tight? Who is spreading the affairs of the court in the harem?" Zhao Zeyong quickly returned to his senses, questioned seriously, and said seriously: "Yiqi is a golden branch and jade leaf, and my sons are brothers." There is only one younger sister who has not left the court, how can she be wronged in the mansion? The great Dacheng Kingdom will never ignore the princess!"

"Yong'er is right."

Emperor Chengtian was expressionless, and said coldly: "Who else can Yiqi get in touch with on a daily basis? Since the queen passed away, the rules in the harem have become looser and looser. There is no royal prestige, and she will tell the princess all kinds of stupid things. I don’t know, I thought it was Zhen’s order to treat my daughter lightly!”

Is the father blaming the imperial concubine or Zhuang concubine?

Zhao Zeyong couldn't be sure for a while, and persuaded in a regular manner: "Father, calm down."

"Don't be angry." King Rui gently comforted: "Fortunately, the third emperor's sister lives in the palace. I think she won't spread the word, just teach a few words in private."

Emperor Chengtian let out a long breath, pinched the center of his brows, his eyes were wise and sharp, and he stated majesticly: "All in all, I am satisfied with Yiqi's filial nature. It's just that the girl has to marry when she grows up, and it would be shameful to stay in the palace. "

Zhao Zeyong readily agreed: "Father Huang Shengming!"

You bastard, do you think I don't know what you're thinking?Emperor Chengtian squinted his eyes, with a lot of prestige, and asked in a flat tone: "Dingbeihou's nephew, do you understand?"

King Rui shook his head and said apologetically, "My son lives in seclusion and doesn't know much about it."

"It doesn't matter." Emperor Chengtian waved his hand lovingly, and turned to focus on the third son.

Zhao Zeyong answered according to the facts: "The branch of Dingbeihou's mansion is prosperous, and I know very little about it. I have only seen Guo Liang, who is begging for the princess, a few times. He is tall and handsome, and his literary talents are admired by you." The second-class Jinshi selected, the rest need to be observed."

Emperor Chengtian pondered for a long time, put the Buddhist beads aside with a "snap", and announced without hesitation: "During the palace examination, I personally questioned him, and the response was quite appropriate, steady and modest. Concubine Zhuang has always been careful, and she also said it was good after asking. Let him be the third son-in-law!"

It turned out that the father was blaming Concubine Han just now!Zhao Zeyong was keenly aware of it, and couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face, and thought to himself: It's not that I am careless, but the third sister has lived in the deep palace for a long time, lonely and boring, secretly admiring the handsome son, wishful thinking, and even taking risks!In fact, Yiqi doesn't know Youtang at all... He was with me early in the morning...

"Father has personally tested it, so it must be right." King Rui smiled faintly.Because of his heart disease, he must restrain himself, never yell, and behave calmly and gracefully.

"Yong'er, what do you think?" Emperor Chengtian's eyes swept away, his eyes were unpredictable.

Zhao Zeyong returned to his senses, and replied solemnly: "I have no objection for the time being."

"Not yet?"

Zhao Zeyong solemnly explained: "It takes time to see people's hearts. In the future, if the son-in-law treats his sister badly, the father and brother should make the decision, and then the son-in-law will raise objections."

"Hmm." Emperor Chengtian smiled, very satisfied, leaned back in the chair slowly, but when he changed his sitting position, he suddenly started coughing: "Cough, cough, cough, cough~"

"Father!" Zhao Zeyong hurriedly stood up and supported him.

King Rui also stepped forward to give his hand, and said with concern: "Slow down."

Emperor Chengtian couldn't stop coughing easily, he bent over and shrunk his shoulders, his face flushed, and he trembled violently.He is old, and has been hit by the bereavement of his daughter, wife, and son's disobedience one after another. Concern, no one dared to recklessly make admonishment, lest the emperor be angered.

"Your Majesty, what do you think?" Li Deying asked worriedly, bowing her head.He is also very old, and can only accompany the emperor on a daily basis, unable to serve food and daily life.

"Do you need to pass on the imperial doctor?" Zhao Zeyong carefully helped his father to sit still.

Emperor Chengtian shook his head, with phlegm in his throat, unable to speak.

"Royal father." King Rui took the small spittoon from the eunuch and personally served his father to spit.

His father was getting old and ill, and Zhao Zeyong was anxious but helpless. It was extremely uncomfortable. He silently served the old man to rinse his mouth, wipe his mouth, and wipe away the tears from coughing... his movements were meticulous.

for a while

"Hey~" Emperor Chengtian finally recovered, with swollen eyelids, half sitting half lying down, and said in a vicissitudes of voice: "I always feel that this winter is extraordinarily cold."

Zhao Zeyong felt an inexplicable "thump" in his heart, and raised his sword eyebrows.

"Auspicious snow heralds a good year." King Rui calmly consoled him earnestly, "This indicates that the weather will be good and the crops will be plentiful next year. Under the rule of the Holy Son of Heaven, the country will be prosperous and the people will be safe."

Zhao Zeyong suppressed his doubts and nodded in agreement: "What the fourth brother said is reasonable. The Longevity Festival is coming, and the ninth brother prepared a birthday gift for you early. It is so mysterious that even the son-in-law will not show it. Can you borrow it at that time?" Father's light opened eyes?"

"Really? That's not difficult, let's see it together then." Emperor Chengtian felt relieved, interested, and said with a happy smile: "Xiao Jiu has been filial and sensible since he was a child, and I didn't love him for nothing. As elder brothers, you He is much older, and he should take care of his younger brother more out of reason, the royal family is also a family, and only when a family is harmonious can everything prosper, so don't let the subjects laugh."

King Rui respectfully replied: "Yes."

"I understand." Zhao Zeyong bowed his head, uncertain.

After coughing, Emperor Chengtian obviously lost his energy, his chest rose and fell fast and sometimes slowly, panting loudly, and he ordered: "You all go to your business, you don't have to guard me."

"Then, you rest, my son will come back tomorrow morning to say hello."

"My son retire."

in two quarters of an hour

Zhao Zeyong sent King Rui back to the prince's place along the way, the brothers walked side by side on the wide corridor, and six eunuchs followed behind them not far or near.

"I still understand Yiqi." King Rui wondered and questioned: "Concubine Zhuang's duty is prudent, she can't ask Yiqi to speak rashly to the Ming Palace."

Zhao Zeyong said in a deep voice: "Just now, although the father didn't say anything on the surface, he quickly chose the third son-in-law during the conversation. It is estimated that the imperial decree will be issued in a few days. It can be seen that he has probably known the inside story of last night and is very dissatisfied, but he has taken the royal family into consideration. Zunwei, did not make it clear."

"I feel like someone is teaching Yiqi behind her back." King Rui guessed in a whisper.

The prince is right in front of them, and they are about to turn a corner of the red wall——

Zhao Zeyong, who was walking half a step faster, suddenly raised his hand to stop his younger brother, frowning and staring ahead.

"What's wrong?" King Rui stopped and looked around in doubt:

I saw the third princess, Zhao Yiqi, leading two maids, a nanny and two eunuchs, walking out of the gate of the prince's courtyard. Yingying goes away.

wait for the opponent to turn

Zhao Zeyong was thoughtful, and immediately asked: "Could it be that the third sister thanked you for your help last night and came to thank you specially?"

"You'll know when you go back and ask." King Rui stretched out his hand to invite.

After a while, Zhao Zeyong took his seat, the eunuch served tea, and King Rui generally drank warm water.

"She sent me a few boxes of pastries to express my gratitude, and it is said that she went to visit Zening again." King Rui sighed.

"again?"

Zhao Zeyong pointed out solemnly: "When the former empress was alive, the harem rules were strict. There was no imperial decree or edict, and no one was allowed to visit the eighth younger brother. Why is it so casual now? It's strange that the father is dissatisfied with the imperial concubine."

King Rui had a sullen face, he really didn't know how to criticize his half-brother who killed his sister!He closed his eyes and revealed indifferently; "Yilin was murdered, the third younger sister was ignorant at first, and she called 'fourth brother' affectionately when they met, but then changed. She avoided me when she saw me from afar. This year, the rules were loose. Zenin several times."

"If it reaches Father's ears, he will definitely be angry!" Zhao Zeyong shook his head helplessly.

"Don't meddle in the affairs of the harem, just pretend you didn't see it."

Zhao Zeyong nodded calmly, and then told: "The situation is very complicated now, so don't worry about it, leave the palace and return home as soon as possible after the Longevity Festival."

"Thank you for reminding me." King Rui's eyes were clear, his position was always clear, and he reciprocated and reminded: "To tell the truth about rebelliousness and unfilial piety: Father Emperor Dragon is in poor health, and his physical strength and energy are getting weaker day by day. You should be prepared."

Zhao Zeyong was silent for a moment, patted the other party's shoulder vigorously, and said: "Fourth brother, take a good rest!"

King Rui nodded, his face was pale and his lips were pale, no longer the rosy color that Song Shen had meticulously nursed back when he was there.

At the same time, Rongfu

"Tang'er, you really don't need to ask a doctor to take a look?" Rong Kaiji was worried.

"It's just a hangover and a headache. It'll be fine after a day's rest. You don't need to take special medicine." Rong Youtang's voice was hoarse, and he repeatedly declined.He was exhausted from running around last night and stayed up all night. After waking up, he was embarrassed and embarrassed. He didn't know how to face King Qing, so he simply went home to rest.

Rong Kaiji's persuasion was fruitless, so he compromised, and taught him incessantly: "Small drink to enjoy yourself, greedy drink will hurt your health, drink less if you can, young people, don't drink too much."

"Okay, I'll remember." Rong Youtang responded indiscriminately, with the quilt tightly covering her chin.He was lying on his side with no strength, and his whole body was in pain, especially his lower back and legs.Last night, King Qing tried his best to be careful, so there was no injury behind him, but the opponent's physique was too strong, and he would inevitably lose control when he was excited, which almost made him unable to stay on the bed.

"Nothing to do today, you should get some sleep, do you want lunch?" Rong Kaiji asked.

Rong Youtang curled up under the quilt, and answered slowly: "I don't eat. I'm very sleepy, so I'll eat together at night."

"Oh, I really don't take care of my body. When I rest and take a bath, the three meals are not delicious!" Rong Kaiji scolded a few words, and finally agreed, put down the curtain for his son, and reminded him when he walked out: "I called you at Shenshi, Be careful to sleep too hungry."

"Yeah." Rong Youtang felt weak, gritted his teeth and turned over, curled up face inward.

Painful, in a daze, unable to control himself to recall the crazy bits and pieces of last night, which made his face blush and his heart beating like a drum.

After an unknown amount of time, Rong Youtang was under the quilt from the nose down, and fell asleep lightly, when the quilt was suddenly pulled lightly!

Who?

Rong Youtang struggled to open his eyes, and heard a familiar voice saying, "Did you wake up?"

Sitting on the edge of the couch, Zhao Zeyong leaned over, lovingly kissed the other person's forehead, full of joy and contentment, he didn't care to wait for someone to answer, and asked again: "I covered my nose, don't you feel bored?"

"Your Highness?" Rong Youtang, who was facing inward, turned his head, sleepy-eyed, and was about to turn over. King Qing immediately extended a helping hand, couldn't help himself, and directly hugged him into his arms, and asked: "Why do you want to go home? Is it still hurting?" ? Are you angry?"

"I, I definitely have to go home." Rong Youtang was confused, drowsy from sleep, and replied vaguely: "I'm fine, I'm not angry."

"Does it hurt?" Zhao Zeyong hugged the person with one hand, stretched the other hand into the bed, gently kneaded his lower back, and explained actively: "Sorry, I didn't mean not to take care of you. Solve the trouble once and for all.”

Rong Youtang struggled, and lay down on the bed instead, letting the other party rub his back, and finally managed to feel a little more comfortable.He worriedly asked: "How is the third princess?"

"The son-in-law has been appointed, it is Ziyan's cousin Guo Liang." Zhao Zeyong told the key directly.

"Oh?" Rong Youtang raised his head, subconsciously resting his hands on each other's legs, the two of them pressed close to each other, and happily said: "That's great!"

Zhao Zeyong did not answer, but turned his head firmly:

——Rong Kaiji, who was holding the tea tray, had a face of disapproval, dumbstruck——
