Chapter 167

"Zijin entered the palace today?"

Shou An felt relieved, "Yes, His Majesty the Seventh Prince wanted to come to greet His Majesty at noon, but His Majesty was discussing matters."

The emperor nodded and asked again, "Is it just to pay your respects?"

He vaguely remembered that Concubine Zheng also came, but at that time Wanmei was in the palace, holding her stomach and complaining that she was uncomfortable, so he asked Concubine Zheng to go back first.

Shou'an: "It's a happy event. The seventh concubine has been pregnant for nearly two months."

It's less than three months old, so I shouldn't have said it.

It's just that the pulse was diagnosed in the palace, and there were many people there at that time, so the rules were simply ignored.

Hearing this, the emperor showed a little joy on his face, "Tomorrow you will go out of the palace in person and send some supplements."

Shou An quickly responded, "Yes."

The youngest son was about to have a son or daughter, and the emperor couldn't help worrying, "The prince has been married for so long, and nothing happened."

Shou An didn't speak, His Majesty didn't ask him.

"Originally, I thought that since he didn't like the concubine's room, he would find a few maids to take care of him."

"It would be fine if I sent it before, but it's not easy to send it now."

Shouan understood what the emperor meant.

When the Crown Princess learned that the Crown Prince was seriously injured, she was eager to travel thousands of miles to go there. It was a good story in Lanjing, and many people lamented the deep affection and righteousness.

If His Majesty gave the prince a woman, the ones with a bad reputation would definitely not be the prince and princess.

……

On this side, Xiao Changqi almost collapsed.

Seeing that from the cold weather to the warm weather, they finally got out of the border between Chu State and Bei Xiao, the group of people stopped again.

It is said that the legs are uncomfortable, so I will stay temporarily to rest.

After listening to the attendant's report, Xiao Changqi couldn't help reaching out and patting his forehead in pain.

It's been four months.

four months!The time spent on the road from departure to now.

His legs are uncomfortable, he often walks for two days and rests for three days, and even rents a house to live in for ten days and a half months, which he can bear.

But besides that, they will take the most roundabout way.

Obviously they can go there directly, but they have to make a big detour.

Just two months ago, the third brother had already gone back, and he didn't see him after he went back, so he wrote to ask what happened.

What can Xiao Changqi answer.

He can only use far-fetched words to write that he just happened to look at the mountains and rivers and enjoy the scenery.

The moment he left the state of Chu, he almost cried.

It's not that he didn't want to leave by himself during the period, but as soon as he had such intentions, the servants or maids around the prince would come over with disappointed faces to convey the meaning of the prince and princess.

It seemed that he was impatient and wanted to leave immediately because he was dragged down, and the person who dragged him didn't care that he left first, and agreed with understanding.

He always felt that the meaning in the words was strange.

The second reason is that he followed along just to win over his fourth brother, and the four-month delay here failed. Reason told him that he should stop the loss in time and separate quickly, but the reality is that after such a long delay, he was really unwilling to leave like this.

Not to mention coaxing, he hasn't been able to say a few words in the past four months.

Wait a minute.

Xiao Changqi gritted his teeth. He knew the temperament of the fourth brother. He knew that he was reserved. Maybe he already agreed with him as the second brother in his heart, but he didn't have the nerve to say it.

Half a month later, Xiao Changqi looked at the two packed carriages and asked with a blank face, "Fourth brother, are you joking?"

In fact, he wanted to ask if this person was crazy.

But the imperial doctor only said that the leg was injured.I didn't even say it hurt my brain.

Xiao Changyin hadn't gotten into the carriage yet, so he looked at Xiao Changqi with a half-smile.

Xiao Changqi's back felt chills from this gaze, and he hurriedly said, "I'm just saying, I'm afraid it's not good for you to go to Yunguo without telling Father."

This is no small matter.

Xiao Changqi was sure that if this matter got to their father's ears, his father would find no one to scold him, so he appointed to call him over to vent his anger.

Why is he so unlucky, he should not have left together if he knew earlier.

"It doesn't matter, Gu is just accompanying the princess back to her mother's house, it's not a big deal." Xiao Changyin didn't care much, seeing that everything was packed, he asked Yun Zhao to sit in the carriage first.

Xiao Changqi's face was stiff with laughter beside him, how could it not matter, the prince's natal family is not in Beixiao, but in Yunguo.

"Second brother, is there anything else?" The man narrowed his eyes, with a gentle smile on his face.

What Xiao Changqi wanted to say was stuck in his throat, his whole body was stiff, and he waved his hand after a few moments, "Bon voyage."

Waiting for the two carriages to leave swiftly, Xiao Changqi touched the corners of his eyes.

A little wet, these are his tears.

"Hey, Second Prince, what's wrong with you?" Fan Zhou took a piece of grass in his mouth, and looked at the... tears on Xiao Changqi's face in surprise?
Xiao Changqi didn't feel ashamed at all, anyway, he had already lost face these days, so at this time he took a handkerchief to wipe away his tears, and said seriously, "Fourth brother's legs are injured, and he went away again, I'm worried .”

Fan Zhou trembled all over, couldn't help stretching out his hands to rub his arms, and then moved away from Xiao Changqi.

Without Xiao Changyin stopping to rest from time to time, Xiao Changqi rode a horse during the day and took a carriage at night, and returned to the imperial city without stopping for two days.

He didn't bother to freshen up when he just went back, he went to the palace to meet the emperor first.

Looking at it, he didn't know if it was because he had been away for too long, or because his eyes were blurred, he felt a little bit that his father was getting old.

Ever since the emperor heard that the crown prince took the crown princess to Yunguo, he has kept a cold face.

It took a long time to drop the paperweight.

The paperweight was made of colored glaze, and the fragments splashed onto the hem of Xiao Changqi's robe.

"Are you the prince's elder brother? Don't you know how to stop him from doing such absurd things?"

Xiao Changqi was very wronged, "Father, do you think I can stop the fourth brother?"

If he could stop the fourth brother, he wouldn't be delayed on the road for four months.

"It's useless."

Xiao Changqi was even more aggrieved, but he didn't dare to refute and just lowered his head.

The emperor squeezed the center of his brows, and reprimanded him coldly, "You came to see me, and you are so disheartened?"

Xiao Changqi: "..."

He didn't run into the palace as soon as he came back, so he didn't have time to freshen up.

Besides, if you stand here after freshening up, you will get the words: After such a long delay on the road, you still have the mind to freshen up.

"It's my son's fault." Xiao Changqi kept admitting his mistake, "I originally urged my fourth brother several times, but it's just that my legs are uncomfortable. It's not easy for my son to carry my fourth brother away."

"The prince's legs are uncomfortable, and you still urge him to hurry?" The emperor's tone sounded more angry.

Xiao Changqi: "..."

"My son is at fault."

Hearing this, the emperor said again, "Aside from admitting your mistakes, what else would you do? You have been delayed on the road for so long and you don't know how to find a way. Now you can't even bring people back."

Xiao Changqi: "..." Well, he is now Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror, he is no longer a human being inside and out.
