The Way of the Consort

When Zongzhen walked out of the inner room, Aunt Zhang looked back anxiously, looking at him, she had all kinds of questions to ask, but she couldn't ask.

Aunt Zhang is different from his younger sister. In Zong Zhen's eyes, she is not just a servant.

Zong Zhen walked in front of her and said in a gentle voice: "I know what my aunt wants to ask, yes, I like Ji Zhao, and I am happy with him."

Aunt Zhang followed the empress into the palace and stayed in the palace all her life. She has never seen or heard of any private affairs. In Jinling City, there are so many rich and powerful houses, there are not no people who raise young husbands. A few years ago There are also two masters who are married, and a lot of troubles have happened, but Aunt Zhang never thought that this would happen to His Highness whom she watched and grew up with since she was a child, especially, especially the other party is the son-in-law. !It's the son-in-law!

Aunt Zhang burst into tears, she anxiously asked: "Your Highness, what should we do, then, that's the son-in-law!"

Zong Zhen's voice was still gentle: "He will reconcile with Fu Chen, and he and Fu Chen have no husband and wife relationship at all, so don't worry, aunt."

"But, but you—" Aunt Zhang didn't know what to do. Before she died, the empress told her to take good care of the two Highnesses. How could it be so?

I watch the children who grow up, and I know it.

His Highness the Crown Prince is not the kind of half-hearted person, since he said he was happy, he meant it sincerely, what if, like His Majesty, he only wanted this person in his life?

Aunt Zhang's sky is about to fall.

Deeper in his thoughts, Zong Zhen didn't analyze Aunt Zhang, but comforted her for a long time.

After all, Aunt Zhang has seen the world, and then she calmed down completely. Besides, what ability does she have to change His Highness's choice?

She wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and said calmly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, this old slave will keep this secret well. If His Majesty finds out in the future, this old slave will do his best to help you and your son-in-law."

"Thank you, Auntie."

Aunt Zhang saw the smile on His Highness's face, and her heart ached. Thinking about it carefully, His Highness really liked to smile more and more these days.

Zong Zhen also specially said: "Brother Zhao, you should pretend that you don't know, otherwise he will be embarrassed."

"My aunt can save you, don't worry." Aunt Zhang asked again, "The son-in-law will live in—"

"Let him go, but he has to recuperate recently, and he will live in the East Palace for nearly a month."

"I see, I will prepare more of what he likes to eat and use."

Zong Zhen smiled at her, then went to see Xiang Sheng again, and told him about Ji Zhao.

Ji Zhao just stayed in the East Palace like this, practicing archery with Zong Zhen every day, he would draw an empty bow, and wanted to shoot arrows out of curiosity... In the end, he was someone who couldn't hit a pot or a hoop , Naturally, he couldn't hit it once, but Zong Zhen laughed loudly on the shooting range.

Zong Zhenzhen didn't laugh at him, but just looked at him, loved him no matter how he looked at him, he loved him so much, he was so happy that he could only express it with laughter.

After more than half a month, Ji Zhao went home.

Ji Zhao likes to be with Zongzhen every day, and the East Palace also likes to have fun with him, but he also likes the world outside the palace. There are somewhat restraints in the palace. If he is to be bored in the palace every day, he thinks he will go crazy. Therefore, he admired Emperor Renzong and His Royal Highness the Prince even more, and lived in the palace all the time.

He told Zong Zhen the truth, Zong Zhen felt very reluctant.

From Meizhou to the palace, the two have been inseparable for two months, especially after returning to the palace, he has long been used to kissing the face of Ji Zhao who has not yet woken up when he leaves the East Palace in the morning to go to the Chongzheng Palace to deal with government affairs. In the afternoon, I took time to come back and take Ji Zhao to the shooting range to have fun, and I was used to catching Ji Zhao who rolled into his arms at night.

But he knew that Ji Zhao was afraid of restraint, so he hugged Ji Zhao in his arms and rubbed him, so he agreed.

Before going to bed at night, he inevitably said a lot of reluctant words. Ji Zhao raised his feet and said with a smile: "I will come to the palace to see you! You can also go to find me at home! We are actually very close! "

Zong Zhen said quietly: "Others wish they could stick together all the time, and only you..."

Ji Zhao leaned on him, stretched out his hands to hold his face, kissed him, and said softly, "I'll stay here to distract you, you're already busy."

Zong Zhen said quietly again: "You clearly want to abandon me so that you can go out and play."

Ji Zhao laughed "haha" and asked him, "Are you acting like a spoiled child to me?"

"So what?" His Royal Highness raised his eyebrows.

so cute!

Ji Zhao held his face and kissed him for a while, he really liked Zong Zhen so much!

The two hugged each other, talking intimately to each other, and they didn't know when they fell asleep together. When they woke up the next day, Ji Zhao went to pay his respects to His Majesty, and then went out of the palace refreshed and returned home.

Zong Zhen watched him go, thinking that he was really a little heartless.

When Ji Zhao and Zong Zhen returned to Jinling, no one was alarmed, and no one knew that he had returned.

When Ji Zhao returned home, the main gate of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion was wide open. Only then did everyone know that the son-in-law had returned. Needless to say, there were various visits, since Yin Ming and the others were there to take care of them.

Ji Zhao first went to look at his rabbit, then the flowers in the garden, and the koi in the tank. He felt that everything at home was good.In the afternoon, my grandfather's family sent someone to see him, and seeing that his arm was healed, they were very happy for him, and since he had nothing else to do, he simply went to the Yin mansion.

Yin Haochuan was also there, and learned that Yin Haochuan had been left in the Hanlin Pavilion. People who entered the Hanlin may not necessarily be able to obtain high-ranking officials and become prime ministers in the future, but if they did not enter the Hanlin, without this resume, they would only be at the third rank if they reached the top of the sky. To the prime minister, this is the rule of this dynasty.

Yin Haochuan was young and talented, and it was just when he spread his wings and was about to take off. Even though he was humble, when he talked about these things, he was inevitably a little excited.

Ji Zhao congratulated him well.

Yin Haochuan also told him that Qin Wen also passed the exam, and he was ranked No. [-] in the second class, which is also a very good ranking, and he is now staying in the Imperial Academy.

Ji Zhao was a little embarrassed. He had forgotten to ask Qin Wenchunwei's ranking after being back for so many days.

It's strange to say, in the past half a month in the palace, what did he say to Zong Zhen every day, it seems that he didn't say anything important?Why did more than half a month "swoosh" pass by?

He borrowed Yin Yuan's study to write a post for Qin Wen, and made an appointment for the two to meet in a few days, and asked Chen Xing to go home to pick some good ink and send it to Qin Wen together.While doing this, he thought of Zong Yan, he only had these two friends, but now, can he and Zong Yan still be friends?

He smiled wryly in his heart, in fact, no matter how disgusting and annoying Zong Mi was, he still liked Zong Yan very much.

But he felt that they might not be friends in the future.

Chen Xing went to the Qin Mansion to give gifts, but unfortunately, Zong Yan happened to be there.

Zongyan was surprised and said: "Your lord is back?! Why didn't you say it earlier, so that I can go to your house to see him!"

Chen Xing said embarrassingly: "I just came back, and I'm in the Yin Mansion right now."

Zong Yan's enthusiasm receded one by one. He looked at the posts and gifts that were obviously just for Qin Wen, and then looked at Chen Xing's expression. What else did he not understand?

Chen Xing delivered the gift, congratulated Qin Wen, and left.

But Qin Wen advised Zongyan: "Brother Zhao's temperament, you and I both know, don't think too much about it."

Zong Yan also smiled wryly: "I didn't think much about it, I just told you these words, many people don't believe it, even if it was really Ji Zhao who smashed my brother's forehead with blood, I don't blame him, I really do He's a friend. But—"

He had the same thought as Ji Zhao, he thought, he could no longer be friends with Ji Zhao.

Qin Wen reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "I'll meet Brother Zhao in a few days, and I'll ask for you, but your brother, is he better?"

The proverb is hard to tell. Not only did his brother have a hole in his head, but he was stabbed by His Royal Highness later on. Such a thing must never be revealed. These days, his brother has been relieved of all errands. It was to let him recuperate, but no one knew the truth.

Zongyan lost interest in talking with his friends, so he went home early.

After arriving home, he hesitated for a moment, and walked towards Zong Mi's yard. Before he entered the yard, he heard a burst of music, and he couldn't help frowning. These days, Zong Mi fell in love with listening to ditties, and bought a special one. A troupe was placed at home.

He strode in and found Zong Mi lying on the rocking chair in the main hall, beating time with his eyes closed and listening to the ditty comfortably.

Since childhood, his second brother has been his role model and the most powerful person in his mind, but he doesn't understand why, in the past month or so, his second brother seems to have changed.

"Brother!" he said in a rough voice.

Zong Mi opened his eyes, saw that it was him, and said with a smile, "You're back? Come, let's listen together."

Zong Yan was upset and said in a muffled voice, "I won't listen, I came here to tell you that Ji Zhao is back."

Zong Mi beat his hands to beat time, and Zong Yan said again: "You don't want to tell me the truth about what happened last time, and I won't pursue it, but after all we want to survive in Jinling, Ji Zhao is my good friend, You are my elder brother. I know exactly what kind of people you are. If there is a misunderstanding, why don't you explain it to me? Prince, we can't afford to offend, and we still have to take into account the dignity of our mother and concubine. Now the prince is paying more and more attention to Zongyu , if this continues, sooner or later he will be on top of us. As a concubine, how can I look at his face?"

The proverb said again: "Ji Zhao is the prince's brother-in-law, and the prince has always valued him. Last time you got an errand, it was because of Ji Zhao's help. Ji Zhao has a very kind heart and soft ears. If you can clear up the misunderstanding, Things will probably be much better.”

Amidst the babbling opera, Zong Mi looked at his serious younger brother, and felt envious in his heart. It would be great if he could be so innocent.

However, the real world is never like this.

He and Zong Zhen have long been on the verge of death.

His face is nothing, Zong Zhen will not let him go.

In order to survive, Zong Zhen had to die.

After Zong Yan said it, he left. In the room, the actors were still babbling and singing, and Zong Mi couldn't listen anymore.

After all, Zongyan also wrote a post to Ji Zhao, and Ji Zhao received it when he returned home from the Yin residence.

Zong Yan said that he would like to visit his home for a few days, or go out to find a place to meet, and said that he would wait for his reply.Ji Zhao held it in his hand and looked at it for a long time, but he didn't know how to respond, and his mood was even more complicated.After washing up, he sat back on the couch, picked up the post again, looked left and right, but still didn't know how to answer.

He couldn't help thinking gloomily, it would be great if Zong Zhen was here, at least there is someone else he can ask.

Time passed unknowingly, Chen Xing came in and urged him twice, he didn't sleep, holding a pen, in name he was brewing, but in fact he was in a daze.I was stunned, "What do you want to write?" Zong Zhen's voice suddenly sounded beside him.

He was taken aback, quickly looked up, and said in shock, "Why are you here!"

Zongzhen pretended to be wronged: "Someone had been happily playing all day, but he couldn't think of me. What can I do? If I can't sleep, I will naturally find someone who can make me fall asleep."

"Hahaha!" Ji Zhao threw the pen and reached out to him, "Hug! Hug!"

Zong Zhen stepped forward with a smile and stood by the couch. Ji Zhao buried himself in his arms, his cheek against his waist, and his arms tightly wrapped around Zong Zhen's waist. He hugged Ji Zhao and listened to Ji Zhao's words. Said: "Brother, I miss you so much!"

"You're teasing me again..."

"real!"

"Why don't I believe it?"

Ji Zhao arched wildly in his arms, and said repeatedly: "Really...I was thinking of you just now!"

"What do you miss me?"

"If you were here, I wouldn't bother you about anything!"

Zongzhen looked at the two posts on the table, one was still blank, obviously Ji Zhaozheng was worried about this and didn't know how to write it, he thought for a while and asked: "Let me guess, it was Zongyan who wrote the post for you ?”

"Ahh..." Ji Zhao looked up at him with admiration, "He wrote to me and wanted to meet me, but I—"

Zong Zhen let go of him, sat down beside him, and said, "The reason for your hesitation lies in Zong Mi, but Zong Mi is Zong Mi, and he is him, so you don't have to worry about it."

"You said, Zong Mi is still in collusion with that spy. If they do something in the future, I'm afraid I will soften my heart and I will plead for Zong Yan, but he is Zong Mi's younger brother after all, and he is a member of Prince Zheng's residence. , It’s really a big deal, he can’t stay out of it, I don’t want to embarrass you because of me.” Ji Zhao said seriously.

Zong Zhen sighed in his heart, and said again: "You don't need to worry about me if you make your friend. Even if Zong Mi is really dishonest in the future, Prince Zheng's Mansion is already the closest bloodline to us. For the sake of our ancestors, I can't do it." Kill them all, and whoever is wrong will be punished, I know it well."

Ji Zhao's eyes lit up, Zong Zhen picked up the pen on the table with a smile, and lowered his head to help him write the post.

Ji Zhao looked down, Zong Zhen still wrote his handwriting!The superior made an appointment to meet Zong Mi, and Zong Zhen wrote the post in a few strokes and handed it to him: "Send it to Yin Ming tomorrow, you can happily make your friends, and there is no need to worry about others."

"Thank you brother..." Ji Zhao seemed about to crawl into his arms again.

Zongzhen put his index finger against his forehead, and tasted it deliberately: "You can only get a thank you for your hard work. I'm not happy."

Ji Zhao laughed "hahaha" again. He slapped Zongzhen's hand away, threw himself into his arms, and asked him, "How did you get here? I didn't hear any movement in the yard."

"I climbed over the wall and came in."

"Ah?!" Ji Zhao looked up at him again, and saw that he didn't seem to be joking, but was stunned.

Zong Zhen raised his eyebrows: "Climb over the wall, it's not the first time anyway."

"Hahaha..." Ji Zhao laughed again, he was really happy!

"I'll help you with the work, will there be any reward?" Zong Zhen asked again.

"What do you want in return?" Ji Zhao asked back.

Zong Zhen's complexion became unpredictable, and then with a scream, Ji Zhao was picked up by Zong Zhen directly, and carried into the bedroom, and the room became extremely quiet instantly.

Cheng Shen outside the door was smiling, and wanted to have a good discussion with his good brothers, here specifically Yin Ming, Chen Xing and Bao Qing.

However, his "good brothers" unanimously rolled three big eyes at him.
