Emperor's Trophy

Yun Zhen was sweating all over this day, his body felt more relaxed, his mouth was dry, he picked up the pears, tasted one and found it really good, in this world of ice and snow, it is rare to have such fresh pears, so he only kept a few, and the rest They were all given to the uncles and uncles in the Loyalty Court to try something new.

Aunt Qing came over and heard it, and said with a smile: "Why is my brother so interested in the Zhongyi Academy all of a sudden? This is a precious gift from the emperor. Seeing that spring is about to begin, my brother will also get rid of his filial piety, so keep it for guests How face-saving it is, and it can also be shown to that villain who likes to gossip, we are still rich in the family of the Hou Mansion."

Yun Zhen said lazily: "It's not spring yet, so I sent my uncles away. Although they didn't say anything, they felt aggrieved, and they couldn't be comforted. It was this precious thing that allowed the uncles to leave. Feel at ease."

Aunt Qing hesitated, forced a smile and said, "Brother, are you complaining about Auntie's incompetence in doing things?"

Yun Zhen smiled and said: "Where is it, my aunt is also in order to save money, so I should talk about this matter. If my mother is gone, the sign of the Princess Mansion should also be removed. Although the emperor will not take back the mansion, it is indeed a big mess It's not easy to manage, I thought about combining the East Mansion and the West Mansion into one, counting everything and putting it in the warehouse. I have been used to living in the East Mansion since I was a child, and I will live here after the filial piety period I also got sick, I guess it's because of bad feng shui, I'd better go back to Dongfu, let's have someone clean it up, I'll move back to Dongfu as soon as the filial piety comes."

Aunt Qing was startled, she really remembered that she was still living in the West Mansion, if they all moved to the East Mansion...

Before she had time to continue persuading Yun Zhen, a report came from outside: "Mr. Zhu from Dingguo's mansion is here and said to come and see my brother."

When the foreign guests arrived, Aunt Qing had no choice but to stop talking. Yun Zhen was too lazy to share with her, and when he heard that there were visitors, he didn't care how many, so he called, "Please come in quickly." Then he ordered Aunt Qing: "Gu Gu Have someone bring some fruit up to entertain the guests."

Just as I was talking, the curtain at the door was lifted, and Zhu Jiang came in with a familiar smile: "Aunt Qing doesn't need to treat me as a guest, I just came to see how Jixiang'er is doing, today I suddenly heard that Jixiang'er is sick?"

Just as he was talking, he had already taken off the cloak that blocked the snow outside, revealing the dark red cotton robe underneath, which was embroidered with blossoming red camellias. When he came up, he probed Yunzhen's forehead: "How are you sick?" Is it still burning? Don’t get up, don’t blame me for not changing my clothes. I finally got out of my mother’s clutches. I went to my uncle’s house today and slipped out to see you. You haven't changed your clothes, don't mind."

Yun Zhen said: "You are too unscrupulous. It's still in the New Year, so you can sneak into my mourning mansion. Not to mention it's unlucky, I'm afraid you will get sick and go back. Carefully, you will be born in New Year's Eve." Illness, if your mother knows about it, she will nag you again."

Zhu Jiang said with a smile: "Don't mention it, I'm almost exhausted to go to the banquet every day."

Yun Zhen said: "I heard that you just learned the word?"

Zhu Jiang said: "Yes, the Duke suddenly saw me during the Chinese New Year, and remembered that my son and grandson were so old. He asked me my age, and gave me the word 'Zitong'. My father was very happy. My mother murmured to herself that this word was too perfunctory, and my father and mother got angry, saying that this is a child with a loyal heart, which matches my temperament, and the father-in-law praised me for being as sincere and pure as a child."

Yun Zhen smiled: "It's very suitable, then I'll call you Zitong from now on."

Zhu Jiang said: "It's up to you, your face is still a little red, are you still running a fever? Let me see if you are sweating." He sat down next to Yunzhen, and stretched out his hand to feel Yunzhen's back Checking to see if the clothes were wet, Yun Zhen evaded him, pushed him and said: "Just sit down, and get over your illness carefully, and your mother will talk about you again when you go back."

Zhu Jiang said indifferently: "I don't care. You are keeping your filial piety at home now, but you have a lot to do with me. What kind of incense do you use? It smells good. It smells like pomelo, and it's like bergamot. Give me some, and I'll take it to honor Father."

Yun Zhen was at a loss for a while, then remembered after a while, turned his head and touched a sachet from the pillow and said: "The emperor came over and felt that the room was stuffy, so he put the sachet he brought with me by the pillow."

Zhu Jiang asked in shock: "Your Majesty is here to visit?"

Yun Zhen said: "Well, I think there will be nothing wrong with the end of the year."

Zhu Jiang said enviously: "The family is really holy. I heard that your majesty is good at blending incense, but because he is afraid of being impeached by Yushitai, he only mixes one or two fragrances on weekdays, but the ministers all regard it as elegant. , Competing to imitate."

Yun Zhen said: "It can be made by others, but it can't be adjusted by the emperor."

Zhu Jiang nodded, and fumbled for a while from the inner sleeve, took out several stones and handed them to him: "I have saved up these days, and I have saved all the good-looking ones for you. Look at this tourmaline, watermelon red Vittorous skin, isn’t it pretty? There’s also this piece, which is bloodstone. I forcibly cut it off from my father’s place for its color. There’s also this one, ice-skinned agate, which comes in any color. I think it’s very pretty. Let the craftsman grind a set of marbles, let's play well!

Yun Zhen has no hobbies, but he likes to collect stones. All kinds of stones, gems, and jade, as long as they look good, he likes them all. He has collected a lot of them, and put them all in crystal fish tanks one by one. He usually uses them for fun , Zhu Jiang played with him since he was a child, so he naturally knows his hobby, and collects more for him on weekdays.

Yun Zhen took a look at his hand, reached out and took a wine-yellow translucent marble, and there was a lifelike bee in it: "This is interesting, is it amber? There are also water bladders, which are expensive, right? Is some moon silver enough?"

Zhu Jiang thought he liked it, and became very excited: "It's good if you like it! It is said that the heirs and sons of princes from all over the country will come to the study room after the festival. At that time, I will also study in the study room as a companion, and you can go to the study room." I played with you, and you will have a few more companions at that time, so that the masters will not only grab you."

Yun Zhen's finger that was rubbing the amber beads paused: "They are all royal families, and all of them are kings and hegemons in their fiefdoms. I think they are very arrogant. What's the fun with them."

Zhu Jiang said: "Yes, I am also worried. My father said that today I should choose a son from the clan to adopt. Originally, the clan secretary advised him to choose a younger one, but His Majesty refused. Trouble, choose a high-quality and beautiful material among the children who are about to grow up, and keep it with you for a few years, and you will learn it. Now princes from all over the world are keen on it. I must restrain my temper, and I will not make you mess around."

When he thought of his own father's order to scold him face to face: "The Marquis of Zhaoxin is serious, and no matter how big a mess is caused, the emperor will not do anything to him for the sake of the deceased eldest princess. You are different." Go straight to the future, don't hang around all day long!" He pulled his face down, looking sad, Yun Zhen glanced at him, didn't say anything, touched the beads for a while and said: "Actually It's not difficult to avoid the errand of going to the study as a companion."

Zhu Jiang asked in surprise, "How?"

Yun Zhen said lightly: "Just ask your family to marry you quickly." Getting married is a major event in life, and the royal family will not be unkind and force people to work in the palace.

Zhu Jiang yelled: "Then it's better to be a companion reading honestly! It's terrible to think of another daughter-in-law who cares about me! You really hurt me!"

Yun Zhen smiled slightly, and put the amber bead back into Zhu Jiang's hands, feeling waned, Zhu Jiang only thought that he was sick and mentally ill, and hurriedly pressed him back to the bed: "You have a good rest, I'm leaving now, get well soon " He was a little reluctant again: "My little pomegranate, take good care of me, I'm too busy today, I don't have time to see him."

Yun Zhen was in a daze for a moment: "Little Pomegranate?"

Zhu Jiang stuffed the bag of gems into Yunzhen's arms: "I just asked Uncle Yu, even though it's cold, I still let him out for a run every day, so as not to get too fat when spring comes, and I don't have time today You don’t need to look at it anymore, you have a good rest.” He tidied up his robe, and tied up the quilt for Yun Zhen, and then ran away quickly, thinking about it, he was in a hurry to deal with the family, after all, he sneaked out .

It was only then that Yun Zhen remembered that Little Pomegranate was the pony he raised for Zhu Jiang—an authentic sweat-blooded horse. Jiang likes horses, so Yunzhen discussed the pony with the imperial horse supervisor and gave it to Zhu Jiang. The princess has been in charge of the army for many years, and the princess's house wants a pony. up.

This little pony is very expensive to raise, and ordinary families can't afford it. Zhu Jiang's family has no divisions, and the whole family has to get it from the father. Therefore, it can only be raised here in Yunzhen. Zhu Jiang came here from time to time and couldn't put it down, so he named it Pomegranate. Xiao Shizi, Pomegranate was officially sent over to become his exclusive mount, and he has always loved and petted this horse very much.

"You are so kind to me, so good that I don't know how to reject you, and I don't know how to repay you..." The first Zhu Jiang looked at him tiredly and said helplessly, the pain that seemed to have pierced the heart Faintly recalled it again.

Yun Zhen touched the bag of gems, feeling mixed feelings. After the second life, his hatred for Zhu Jiang has faded a lot. I remember that when the second life was just reborn, Zhu Jiang also came to him, and he said nothing Said that Zhu Jiang was kicked out of the door, and the two broke up directly. I don’t know if this young man also hid these gems exchanged for the meager silver in his arms that day. The idiot, they were all coaxed and bought at a high price. , although it is true, after all, no one dares to coax the prince of the country, but these gems can't even be sold for half of the original price, so they all say he is a fool.

Now he can't remember where the little pomegranate went after he and Zhu Jiang broke up in the last life. Maybe Aunt Qing will deal with it. After all, bloody BMWs are expensive.

He never saw him again in the second life. Everyone in the capital knew that Young Master Yun hated Zhu Jiang. As long as Zhu Jiang was invited to a banquet, Young Master Yun would walk away. With his assistance to Ji Huaisu, he successfully got married. The crown prince is deeply trusted by Ji Huaisu, and no one invites this young master of the Duke's Mansion anymore. After all, there are many dignitaries in the capital, and no one would particularly mind such a young master.

Zhu Jiang has been looking for various opportunities to seek peace with him, or ask someone to convey his apology. He has never known what mistake he made and was broken up by his best friend since he was a child in such a resolute manner. But in order to avoid misfortune, he asked the youngest son to be a military officer from afar, and sent him to serve.

Later, when he was put in prison, Zhu Jiang tried desperately to find someone to see him, but he had no power, so in the end he only asked someone to bring in the food he liked, and asked someone to bring in a sentence: saying that he was still trying his best to help him. He got away with the crime, let him not worry, eat well and dress well, wait until he finds a reliable person.

But he didn't wait for him, what he waited for was the end of the yellow beam bestowed by Ji Huaisu.

If I had known at the beginning, why bother today.

Yun Zhen touched his forehead that seemed to be burning again, lay back, put those gems and sachets together, and no longer thought about the past.

The question now is, what should I do?

A man who has fallen into petty love in two lifetimes, he almost despises himself.What is the first life and the second life, it is meaningless to worry about those. If you have won the third life, if you still have not lived well, then you are a complete fool.
