Prince Consort

Seeing Xie Zean staring at him, Zhao Chongzhao blinked and asked, "Sanlang, why don't you eat?"

Xie Ze'an bit off the little fat man.

Zhao Chongzhao trembled inexplicably, and when he saw Xie Ze'an's side face illuminated by the setting sun, he soon became elated again.He grabbed Xie Ze'an's palm with one hand, and put the sugar figurine into his mouth with the other, feeling the sweetness in his heart.This kind of happiness is not available when you are with others, even Xie Xi, who I like very much recently, can't give it to him.

Zhao Chongzhao said, "Sanlang, are you okay tonight?"

Xie Ze'an said: "No, where does Your Highness want to go?"

Zhao Chongzhao said: "There are many places I want to go!" After thinking for a while, he dragged Xie Zean to the east gate, "Sanlang, let me tell you, Xie Xi and I found a good place yesterday, do you know Xie Xi? He said he was your fifth cousin. He is pretty good-looking," he deliberately boasted, "better than you."

Xie Ze'an is not naive enough to compete with others for prettiness, and he doesn't rely on his appearance... Ahem, sometimes he uses "beauty", but he never uses it often.

Xie Ze'an said solemnly: "Indeed, he is much more handsome than Your Highness." He echoed Zhao Chongzhao's praise with all his strength, "Look at his eyebrows, look at his smile, just smile at you lightly, you My whole heart is warm, isn't it more handsome than your Highness?"

Zhao Chongzhao's eyes widened, and his five fingers tightened tightly.

Originally, he wanted to ask Xie Xi to play with him, but after hearing what Xie Ze'an said, he was so angry that he couldn't bear it.

Zhao Chongzhao gritted his teeth: "Is that good?" He snorted, "You are not allowed to play with him anymore, you are not allowed to talk to him anymore, and you are not allowed to look at him again."

Xie Ze'an shook his head straight: "How is it possible, he is my fifth brother."

Zhao Chongzhao said: "If I say no, I won't!"

Xie Ze'an smiled slightly: "Okay, if His Highness doesn't allow it, don't allow it."

Zhao Chongzhao lost interest in chatting with Xie Zean about Xie Xi. He took Xie Zean's hand and walked across the long bridge over the moat.There is a dense water network along the east gate, with big rivers connecting small rivers and long bridges connecting short bridges. Compared with the prosperity of the capital, this area is a bit more rustic.

Even the chestnut peddler is not as tacky as a city peddler. He is wearing a very energetic short jacket and a gray-blue hooded scarf. His hair is neatly wrapped inside, which makes his whole person very neat.Seeing the two children Xie Zean and Zhao Chongzhao running out, the peddler greeted cheerfully: "Would you like to buy some? Let's go while eating. Today is a social day, and it's exciting. I'm sure you won't want to blink!"

Zhao Chongzhao readily agreed, and Xie Zean and Xie Zean walked forward with a paper bag of chestnuts.

Xie Ze'an said, "What's going on with this society day?"

Zhao Chongzhao just "shamelessly asked" yesterday. Seeing that Xie Ze'an didn't know, he said with great interest: "Sheri is the day to worship the land god! Sheji Sheji, She is the god of earth, and Ji is the god of grain. They are all in charge of food. Do you know that food is the god? So there is a social day not long after the beginning of spring and the beginning of autumn!"

Xie Ze'an praised sincerely: "Your Highness, you are really amazing, you know everything."

Zhao Chongzhao said: "Of course." Seeing that Xie Zean hadn't peeled the chestnut, he actively peeled a piece of chestnut meat and brought it to Xie Zean's mouth, "Eat it, it's sweet, loose and fragrant!"

Xie Ze'an was so flattered that he opened his mouth and bit into the chestnut Zhao Chongzhao handed over.

He smiled and said, "Thank you Your Highness."

Zhao Chongzhao pulled Xie Zean forward, and when he encountered any interesting things, he would rush to them. Zhao Chongzhao was full of strength, while Xie Zean was quick-witted. The two of them made plans, and the other went forward bravely.

The two of Xie Ze'an felt relaxed, and suffered from Zhang Dade and the guards of the Eastern Palace.

Zhao Chongzhao's mind is difficult to guess, he is greedy for new things, and he won't think of them again when he buys them, but if he accidentally remembers them and asks a question, they can't help but show them-they can only follow Xie Ze'an and Zhao Chongzhao. Chongzhao moved back one after the other.

Seeing Zhao Chongzhao and Xie Zean having fun everywhere, Zhang Dade felt happy too.Ever since Xie Ze'an appeared, things have been developing in a good direction. His elder brother Zhang Dayi has become more and more stable in the capital, and the prince is getting more and more motivated. Watching the prince and the son-in-law running on the bridge from a distance, it feels like It's like entering a painting.

Zhang Dade was about to follow, when he suddenly saw someone painting beside him. Most of the paintings by the middle-aged man were pedestrians on the bridge, and one of them captured the figures of Xie Zean and Zhao Chongzhao.

Zhang Dade went up and asked, "Sir, are you selling this painting?"

The middle-aged man glanced at him in surprise: "Do you want to buy it?"

Zhang Dade said: "Yes, I want to buy it." He picked out the pair with Xie Zean and Zhao Chongzhao, "Buy this one, will you sell it?"

The middle-aged man gave Zhang Dade a meaningful look, and said, "These two people, they should be sold at a higher price."

Zhang Dade's heart skipped a beat: "Why?"

The middle-aged man said: "These two people are either rich or expensive, how can they be sold cheap?" He stroked his beard, "If you can't pay the money, then don't ask, because if you ask, you can't get the money Come on, don't you feel ashamed?"

Zhang Dade was choked speechless by him.

Xie Ze'an and Zhao Chongzhao noticed that Zhang Dade hadn't followed, and turned to see what Zhang Dade was doing.Seeing the paintings that Zhang Dade picked out, Xie Ze'an was amazed.

He doesn't know how to appreciate paintings, so it's impossible for him to tell what's good, but beautiful things can be distinguished at a glance. For example, when the painting came into the eyes, both he and Zhao Chongzhao were attracted.

Zhao Chongzhao was very straightforward, and boasted happily: "This painting is very good!" He bowed respectfully to the middle-aged man, "Sir, can you resell this painting to me? I don't have it." The meaning of despising Mr. is just that I like it very much, and I hope you can give up your love, Mister."

Xie Ze'an looked at Zhao Chongzhao with admiration.

The middle-aged man looked at Zhao Chongzhao, then at Xie Ze'an, took a scroll of the painting, raised his hand and threw it into Zhang Dade's arms, and said lightly: "This painting is for you." He picked up the basket next to him, got into the crowd and disappeared.

Zhang Dade hurriedly hugged the painting that was thrown towards him, looked at the direction where the middle-aged man disappeared, and said to Xie Ze'an and Zhao Chongzhao suspiciously: "This man is really weird. Said to sell it more expensive. Don’t you think it’s strange to give it away for nothing in a blink of an eye?”

Zhao Chongzhao said: "What's so strange about this, powerful people always have a little eccentricity."

Zhang Dade said: "Your Highness's words are reasonable!"

Zhao Chongzhao opened the painting and looked at it again and again, and said happily: "Sanlang, look, he painted us so beautifully, I want to frame it and put it in the study!"

Xie Ze'an: "..."

I bought a lot of things along the way, and Zhao Chongzhao said he would put everything in his study.Xie Ze'an imagined it for a while, and quickly came to the conclusion: Zhao Chongzhao is absolutely impossible to realize what he said.

Otherwise, his study would be interesting!

Xie Ze'an gave himself a reassurance, and went to watch the "Farmer's Gala" with Zhao Chongzhao.Zhao Chongzhao did not squeeze into crowded places, but pulled Xie Zean to find a place with a wide view to look at the dark boats and boats on the river.There are no "performances" at all these days, only the opening dance of offering sacrifices to heaven is worth watching, followed by old-fashioned juggling.People who only come to these things once or twice a year are still new, but they are not attractive to Zhao Chongzhao and Xie Ze'an.

Zhao Chongzhao said enthusiastically: "Sanlang, let's make some fireworks to cheer them up. Didn't there be some fireworks that were not finished last time?"

Xie Ze'an thought for a while and said, "That's fine." He found a guard and told him to go to Xie's mansion to bring a batch of fireworks, and then asked others to clear the venue.

It only takes fifteen minutes to ride a horse back and forth to Xie Mansion, and the imperial guards soon came over with fireworks, and Shou He, the maid beside Princess Yan Ning, came with her.

Shouhe walked up to Xie Ze'an and said, "My lord, the princess tells you not to play too late."

Zhao Chongzhao was a little unhappy, but thinking that she was his sister, he resisted the urge to dismiss Shouhe.He grabbed Xie Zean's hand: "Let's set off fireworks together!"

Xie Ze'an said: "Let someone remind everyone first, so as not to scare people."

Zhao Chongzhao immediately gave an order: "The imperial guards of the East Palace listen to the order."

Those who came out lined up in a row: "Here!"

Zhao Chongzhao said: "Leader, come out and tell everyone what we are going to do."

The leader was very clever. While everyone else was looking at them, he let go of his voice and said, "Today is a social day. His Royal Highness is celebrating a grand event. He specially brought fireworks to cheer everyone up. If you don't want to hear the noise, you can cover it first." Shut your ears!"

When the others heard that it was the prince, their interest became even higher, and they all stopped to look at them.Taking a closer look, I saw two pink and jade-carved children standing there, one looked plump and chubby, but there was a hint of heroism in the brows; the other looked small, with red lips, white eyebrows and pretty eyes It is very pleasing to see.

Many people slapped their heads, thinking of the well-known marriage not long ago. There were two grooms in that marriage!

One is the prince, the other is the son-in-law, both of them are extremely delicate characters, but now they are here to celebrate the social day with them, it is really unexpected!

Seeing more and more people gathered around, Zhao Chongzhao was not annoyed, he tightened Xie Zean's hand, and whispered, "Sanlang, did I do the right thing this time?"

Xie Ze'an said: "Your Highness is wise and wise."

Zhao Chongzhao laughed until his eyes almost disappeared.

Zhang Dade is in charge of lighting the fireworks.

Splendid fireworks bloomed in the dark sky, the bustling river and the river bridge were silent for a moment, and then became more and more noisy.

People who have just heard the word "fireworks" immediately show it off to those who don't know.

In the short period of time from when the fireworks took off to the end of the fireworks, the two "keywords" of "fireworks" and "Prince" have been spread throughout the area where the festival is held, occasionally mixed with "little son-in-law". "Related discussions.A vendor who recognized the two of them saw the opportunity, and boasted: "It's delicious! It's absolutely delicious! The prince said it was delicious after eating it!" "The prince is great, and you will pay back for the purchase! "The prince is extremely clever, and he can solve even the most difficult riddles!"

With such a call, the business is naturally booming.

At this time, a passenger ship was sailing down.

A middle-aged man was sitting in the stern of the boat, painting on the disappearing fireworks.

A scarlet-robed official came out and asked, "Brother, why haven't you come in for so long?"

The middle-aged man said: "One is reckless and indulgent because he doesn't know what he can't do, and the other is so stubborn that he knows what he can't do, so he doesn't know what will happen when he grows up."

The scarlet robe official said, "Two little dolls?"

The middle-aged man shook his head and said: "It's nothing, it's still a long way to go when they grow up. Erlang, it's good for you to let him go out for a few years. The capital may change when the weather will change. This prince is still too young, and his methods are too immature. , I wonder if I can stabilize the crown prince." He finished the last stroke of the fireworks, "I just hope he doesn't disperse like this 'firework'."

The scarlet robe official persuaded with a wry smile: "Brother, you'd better pay attention to what you say."

The middle-aged man said: "The conversation between me and your brother, out of my mouth and into your ears, there will never be a third person who will know, so there is no need to avoid so many taboos." He stretched, "I Sleep for a while, and call me when you arrive."

The scarlet robe official could only say: "Okay."

After waiting for his elder brother to enter, he looked back at the capital and sighed.

If he were to choose him, he would naturally not want to leave the capital, but his elder brother's judgment is rarely wrong, otherwise he would not be able to rise to the fifth rank so quickly.

What kind of wind and rain will the capital, which looks extremely prosperous at the moment, usher in?
