eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 22 Night
Ping An never said the fact that Liu Jin confessed that he framed Zhang Tianrui.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't understand it, it was illogical.

But life is not a novel,
Not everyone is a completely rational individual.

Reality is illogical.

The reality can only be accepted.

Just like Li Guang can only accept the prince's alienation from him.

Fortunately, he may have been in the palace for many years, and he would not be too flustered if something happened.

Changqing also brought back the news.

The crown prince really punished Liu Jin severely,
According to the close relationship between the two of them in the past, they knelt for a long time, hit twenty boards, scolded them head and face, and even threatened death, and this was just for Zhang Tianrui.

What is it not called ruthless?
"Why does Your Highness tend to be civil servants..." Li Guang was really distressed, "Isn't it obvious that those people bullied His Majesty? If His Majesty listened to them, they would praise them, and if they didn't listen to them, they would yell at them. Your servant? And Liu Jin, what's going on?"

Changqing never thought that Liu Jin actually spread the fake news.

Have you been out of your mind recently?That's why he was severely punished by the prince.

"Godfather, Liu Jin's side, we will deal with it later, mainly the crown prince... If the civil servants persuade the prince to go to His Majesty's side... then we will be in danger."

Yes, although Li Guang was not that worried for the time being, the emperor still trusted him after all.

But the prince's attitude towards him is always a hidden danger.

Therefore, there has never been a moment when he wished the emperor to live a long life like now.

"What does the prince like?" Li Guang fell into path dependence,

He relied on this to win the trust of the emperor.

This question caught the two of them, but at the same time it also gave an idea.

This can only be inquired about again.

……

……

Qiuyun added a quilt to Zhu Houzhao.

She led several maids in order to tidy up.

"In the past few days, you have talked a lot less, are you a little scared?"

Liu Jin, who has such a good relationship with His Highness, always ended up like that,
Qiuyun said that he was not afraid that it was a fake.

This also triggered Zhu Houzhao's recognition of Zhang Yong in his heart. If he hadn't reminded him, everyone in the East Palace would probably be scared out of their wits.

Even foreign ministers would feel that the prince is so unpredictable, sometimes benevolent and sometimes ungrateful.

Qiuyun placed her two small hands in front of her abdomen, pinching and pinching.

Her hair is very black and soft, and a small rub falls on the corner of her eyes. Sometimes she flicks it, giving people the feeling of an early Hong Kong pure actress.

"Qiu Yun... It's not because of fear. Your Highness has his own reasons for how to do it. As a servant, you should never have the idea of ​​hoping to be forgiven for doing something wrong."

"You all go down." Zhu Houzhao said to the older maids who made the bed, and then asked Qiuyun to sit on the stool.

I don't know why, maybe it's because I saved this person, so I feel that she is grateful for my life-saving grace, so I have more trust.

Or maybe it's because after the past few days, Qiu Yun's every answer is in place, with a delicate heart, not the kind of beautiful but stupid person.

It gave him a sense of intimacy.

After all, he is another soul who is a little strange to this space,
When you first come here, you will be more familiar with the people you first came into contact with.

And now in the Forbidden City, they are either eunuchs who make him feel strange, or Confucian officials who are not interesting. Of course, fathers, queens and queens are counted, but there are some things that are not easy to talk to them.

Although Qiuyun's status is very low, he is at least a normal person.

It was completely dark outside, and only the candles flickered inside the house.

"Sit down and have dinner with me."

How could Qiuyun be willing, "The servants dare not."

"You are a person who walked through the gate of hell, so you should be more relaxed. There are no outsiders here. As long as I don't punish you, others dare not say anything. In the past, Liu Jin might talk nonsense, pick your faults and say that you don't follow the rules, but now he doesn't." Will."

What he said made Qiu Yun purse his lips and smile.

Eunuch Liu was beaten by twenty boards.

Zhu Houzhao's habit in his previous life was to eat a lot at night. To be precise, he refused to eat breakfast, he ate it for lunch, and he ate dinner with his life.

So it was more or less a habit, so people passed on the meal, and made braised fish, chicken soup and a dish of tofu mixed with shallots.

Especially tonight the moonlight is also very good,
It was this moonlight that made Zhu Houzhao a little homesick, thinking about everything in that different time and space.

"Qiu Yun, don't tell me to say it a second time, sit down."

The girl's family probably sensed the sincerity of the prince, so they no longer refused, and took the initiative to help with food.

"Your Highness, when I was young, my mother told me not to eat too much before going to bed. If you are not hungry, it is good to fall asleep. But...my mother is not a doctor. I later thought it was because I didn't eat enough, so Want us to eat less."

"Do you have any family now?"

Qiu Yun's face darkened, "I have a younger brother who is probably still alive. But I haven't seen him for a long time."

To some extent,

This girl is just like me,
The Forbidden City is a place far from home.

Zhu Houzhao has a lot of things to say, but he is still very young after all, and many words make people feel too strange, and he is still the prince.

So apart from chatting about the short stories of these parents, it seems that there is nothing to say.

But sitting next to someone always feels better than being alone in an empty ancient building.

Zhu Houzhao came to the window and looked up at the bright moonlight. He used to think it was hypocritical, but now he realized that those things just didn't happen to him.

Looking at the prince's back, Qiu Yun also fell into confusion, she didn't quite understand.

Logically speaking, the prince's status is respected, and his parents are by his side, so he can see him whenever he wants, which is much better than her.

But at the same time, she could clearly feel the prince's melancholy.

"Your Highness, what's on your mind?"

Zhu Houzhao maintains a posture of looking up, and once in a while, he will allow his mind to relax and sentimentality.

"Qiu Yun... If you were just a court lady serving tea who no one cares about in the palace, life might be much more peaceful. But you come to the East Palace, and by my side, here is a whirlpool of power, so you can't be so weak in the future."

"Your Highness, this is..."

"I know you are afraid of Liu Jin, and keep a low profile at the same time. But last time, didn't Liu Jin come to your door to ask you questions? This is the difference between being here with me and being only a court lady serving tea."

"Your Highness!" Qiu Yun was startled, and suddenly knelt down.

Zhu Houzhao was helpless, and said with a smile: "Get up, I don't want to do anything to you. I'm not spying on you, but there are more people who come to me and make irresponsible remarks than you can imagine. What I said today is for Hello."

"Your Highness, can you explain more clearly?"

"I like your temperament. You are careful, quiet, and do things well in a leisurely manner. That's why I said this. But because your temper is too soft, you can bear it if you can, hide if you can, and don't want to do it." Things that offend people, but only insignificant people can not be hated."

And she is close to the prince, so there will only be more troubles in the future, not less.

With this explanation, Qiuyun probably understood that she hadn't thought about this level before, but the prince thought of it.

No wonder everyone now says that the prince is smart, and he will be a sage king in the future.
