Prince Consort

The water route is slower than the land route. When Xie Zean and others received the news from King Qi's fiefdom, Fang Baoding and his party were only halfway through.

Xie Ze'an had already had people stare at Uncle Guo's mansion.

When they received the news on their front feet, Uncle Guo knew it on his back feet.Uncle Guo locked himself in the Taoist room and did not come out. Zhao Ying strictly banned Buddhism and Taoism, but many high-ranking officials and nobles still kept the beliefs left over from the period of the former emperor. Ben still has no remorse.

Anyway, he is not an official of any kind, so he is not afraid of others participating.

Xie Ze'an was not sure what kind of person this country uncle was.

He and Zhao Chongzhao pondered for a long time, and Zhao Chongzhao couldn't tell the reason.The first queen passed away shortly after Princess Yanning was born, and the uncle of the country has never been in the palace since then. Zhao Chongzhao has very little impression of this "uncle".

Xie Ze'an was busy with all the things that should be busy, thinking that he and Zhao Chongzhao hadn't messed up for a long time, he frowned, and said with a smile: "Let's go see 'uncle'."

Zhao Chongzhao said, "Didn't you say he thanked guests behind closed doors?"

Xie Ze'an said, "Have you climbed over the wall?"

Zhao Chongzhao shook his head.

Xie Ze'an said: "Then the opportunity has come, how about we go over the wall of the uncle's mansion?"

Zhao Chongzhao said: "Sounds really exciting! Let's go!"

The prince has always been very free in his actions, entering and exiting the palace gates is very casual, the two of them discussed the location of the Taoist house of the uncle's mansion abroad and started the great cause of climbing the wall.Xie Ze'an and Zhao Chongzhao had made troubles many times, and the people at the bottom already had experience, some were in charge of guarding the wind, and some were in charge of responding at the bottom, and Xie Ze'an and Zhao Chongzhao were sent to the uncle's mansion at once.

Zhao Chongzhao said in a low voice, "It's really exciting!"

Xie Ze'an said: "There is still a long way to go to the Taoist room, we have to be careful."

Zhao Chongzhao nodded hurriedly, took Xie Zean's hand and slipped forward along the drawn route map.

When we got near the Daoist room, the surrounding area became cleaner, and there was not even a guard.Zhao Chongzhao and Xie Ze'an found a tree to climb up, and they leaned on the courtyard wall and whispered to each other.

Xie Ze'an said: "That bird looks good, and it must be delicious when roasted with some honey sauce."

Zhao Chongzhao said: "...that is Uncle's favorite flying slave."

The so-called flying slaves are actually carrier pigeons. These days, most letters are delivered by fast horses. Carrier pigeons are not popular, and there are almost no people who can domesticate carrier pigeons.It is said that this uncle of the country is the only one. He was obsessed with birds since he was a child, and he trained a "tumbling bird" as his messenger, and named him Fei Nu.

This kind of tumbler is amazing. Not only can it recognize the way, but its combat effectiveness is not bad. During the flight, it will use its wings to shoot down other pigeons, and then walk away alone with the letter box tied to its feet.

Xie Ze'an said regretfully: "A good bird is raised as a servant, what a waste! Your Highness, let me tell you that the roasted pigeon is very delicious. When roasting, it is coated with a layer of honey sauce and turned over several times. The sweetness will seep in, the meat is tender and the bones are crispy, it is simply delicious in the world!"

Zhao Chongzhao was fascinated by what he said, and couldn't help lowering his voice and said, "This is definitely not edible! Or, let's go to Uncle Fei's shed to get two?"

Xie Zean nodded with a smile.

The two were about to climb down on hands and feet when they suddenly heard a cold shout from below: "Get down, you two little bastards!"

Xie Ze'an and Zhao Chongzhao looked at each other, shrank their heads, and hid in the tree as if they didn't exist.

The courtyard door creaked open, Uncle Guo came out from inside, and said with a sneer, "If one of my flying slaves is missing, I'll take your skin off!"

Xie Ze'an and Zhao Chongzhao each hugged one side of the tree trunk, deciding to pretend that they couldn't go on dead.

Uncle Guo was very angry, and said: "One is the dignified prince, and the other is the son-in-law, and they came together to climb trees and climb over walls. Are you embarrassed?"

Xie Ze'an plausibly said: "The son-in-law is also a human being, so why can't he climb trees and over walls!"

Zhao Chongzhao imitated the example: "Yes, the prince is also a human being!"

Uncle Guo: "..."

Uncle Guo said, "Come down."

Zhao Chongzhao and Xie Ze'an glanced at each other, then quickly slid down the tree and landed easily.

Uncle Guo asked, "What are you doing here?"

Xie Ze'an smiled shyly: "Experience the thrill of climbing over the wall. It's not easy to climb other people's houses, so I have to climb uncle's house..."

Uncle Guo's eyelids twitched when he heard Xie Ze'an's "uncle".

Zhao Chongzhao also put a high hat on Uncle Guo: "Uncle will definitely not blame us!"

Uncle Guo has nothing to do with these two shameless guys, so he can only lead them in.

When Zhao Chongzhao saw the things in the Taoist room, he shook his head carelessly and said, "Uncle, do you still believe that? Last time I went to Qingyun Temple to pray for blessings, I kowtowed [-] times and walked up. It was not useless! Once I came back to Ning I fell ill."

Uncle Guo didn't want to comment at first, but he paused and said, "You can't wait for a while, you have to see what happens in the end. Last year, Yan Ning was lying on the bed and couldn't get out of bed. What about now?"

Zhao Chongzhao was taken aback, it seemed that this was really the case!

Xie Ze'an couldn't help interjecting: "Yan Ning got better because of Mr. Yang's superb medical skills." It means that this has nothing to do with gods and Buddhas.

Uncle Guo said: "Then why Mr. Yang didn't show up sooner or later, but why did he show up at this time?"

Xie Ze'an couldn't communicate with this superstitious guy, so he simply kept his mouth shut.

Zhao Chongzhao was very clever, and he put gold on Xie Zean's face without hesitation: "Because Sanlang asked me to repair herbal medicine, that Mr. Yang came to the capital!"

Uncle Guo said: "Then when did you meet Saburo?"

Zhao Chongzhao was stunned.

Not long after leaving Qingyun Temple, he ran into Xie Ze'an who came to Beijing to visit his relatives.

Seeing that Zhao Chongzhao was about to be fooled by the "magic stick" uncle Guo, Xie Ze'an said, "It's just a coincidence."

Uncle Guo said: "I think it's a coincidence, but after Chongzhao went to Qingyun Temple and came back, the sky was in a mess."

Zhao Chongzhao didn't understand: "What kind of celestial phenomenon."

Uncle Guo said: "You don't understand after I've said it. It's generally good, but..." Halfway through, he paused again, "Forget it, let's not talk about it."

Zhao Chongzhao couldn't help asking: "Just what? How can you stop talking halfway!"

Uncle Guo said: "It's just a little strange." He glanced at Xie Ze'an indifferently, "There is a star that has been dimmed, and then suddenly brightened again. And there is another star next to him that is as bright as it. It's normal, but knowing that this star is about to move to the position of Emperor Star, how could it be possible for the twin stars to shine together?"

Zhao Chongzhao didn't really understand Uncle Guo's words.

Uncle Guo waved his hand and said, "Go back, don't think about me, Fei Nu, or I will personally settle accounts with you."

Zhao Chongzhao pulled Xie Zean out from the main entrance.

Xie Zean was still thinking about what Uncle Guo said just now, but he didn't expect Uncle Guo to be a magic stick, and it was really different from what he imagined.According to what he knew from Princess Yan Ning, the "already dimmed" star should refer to Zhao Chongzhao. What does the double star refer to?Why did Uncle Guo meaningfully glance at him when he said this?

Xie Zean was shocked.

He can't be brought into the pit by the uncle of the country, what kind of twin stars shine together?He must not be one of the double stars!

If this word gets out, won't people outside think that he has the intention of treason?

Xie Ze'an decided to forget what he just said as soon as he left the uncle's house.

Zhao Chongzhao was very simple, he didn't pay attention to Uncle Guo's gaze just now, and asked directly: "Sanlang, does uncle mean that someone wants to take the crown prince from me?"

Xie Ze'an could only respond: "Yes!"

Zhao Chongzhao was indignant: "So Sanlang, your speculation is absolutely correct, I knew that guy Zhao Min had wolf ambitions!"

Xie Ze'an said: "Your Highness, don't worry, Mr. Fang will be back soon. When he was in Xijiang, Mr. Fang personally went to Xixia and forced the Xixia army to retreat with his words. If there is any change in King Qi's side, Mr. Fang will definitely be able to Discover."

Zhao Chongzhao liked people like Fang Baoding. Hearing what Xie Zean said, he nodded obediently and said, "Then I will wait a few more days, and I will ask Mr. Fang when he comes back."

Xie Ze'an and Zhao Chongzhao went together to call back the guards of the East Palace who were still outside to watch the wind, and went back to the palace together.

Uncle Guo stood outside the Taoist room and fed his flying slave for a while, then lowered his head and sighed.

"Poor my Xun'er..."

He has been good at observing people and measuring things all his life, but he can't interfere with anything. Once he interferes, chaos will happen.He was timid and didn't want to bear the consequences of disturbing his fortune. It was beyond the line to say one or two more words occasionally, and he never dared to mention any more.

Of course, the uncle's mansion welcomed another unexpected guest: Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying dressed lightly, and was not polite after meeting Uncle Guo. She sat down with her robe lifted, and said, "It's been a long time since I played chess with Uncle Guo."

Uncle Guo was silent for a moment, and made the move.

After a game, Zhao Ying said: "I heard that Chongzhao and Sanlang came to see you today."

Uncle Guo said: "Yes, they are here, they came in over the wall, and they have the idea of ​​my flying slaves, wanting to catch them and roast them to eat."

Zhao Ying said: "I didn't expect Sanlang to be so similar to Linjun. When you first met Linjun, you quarreled. Wasn't it because he roasted your flying slave?"

Uncle Guo said, "This baby is different from Linjun." He paused, and added, "It's different from all of us."

Zhao Ying was startled.

He had never heard such an evaluation from Uncle Guo.

Zhao Ying said: "Uncle Guo knows the world without leaving home. I don't know if Uncle Guo knows that Linjun is still alive?"

Uncle Guo said: "I know." He looked at the chess game, his eyes seemed to be fixed on it, "So what if you know? Sometimes it's better not to come back."

Zhao Ying frowned.

Uncle Guo repeated again: "Today, that baby is different from others." He raised his head and looked at Zhao Ying, "If you don't want to change the prince, treat him better. He looks cold and indifferent. But he is the stupidest type of person, if you treat him a little bit better, he will be with you for a lifetime."

Zhao Ying thought about Xie Ze'an's flying and jumping in his daily life, but he really couldn't see what Xie Ze'an had to do with "coldness", nor could he see what Xie Ze'an had to do with "the stupidest".But Zhao Ying knew that Uncle Guo never made mistakes in seeing people, so she secretly kept what Uncle Guo said in her heart.He promised Uncle Guo: "After Xun'er comes back, I will find a good husband's house for her again."

Uncle Guo had no expression on his face.

Although he didn't talk about King Qi's affairs, Zhao Ying could definitely see it, but Zhao Ying clearly saw it, but he still watched his daughter get married.Although his daughter is the daughter of the uncle of the country, he has no power or influence as the uncle of the country, and the king of Qi has committed the crime of treason again, so what kind of good family can he find if he remarries?

Zhao Ying is cruel.

I just want to force him to stand up, to force him to speak...

Of course, he is cruel enough.

From the beginning to the end, he didn't stand up, let alone speak.

There is no need to scold half a catty.
