Poor children

Chapter 231 The eldest princess returns to court

一
"Mother, mother" Zi Tong's voice came into the house before he entered the hospital.

When the poor boy heard Zi Tong's voice, he quickly put down his needle and thread and went out to greet him, "My Zi Tong is back."

When the child in the courtyard saw the poor boy coming out, he ran two steps and threw himself into the poor boy's arms, acting like a spoiled brat.

"Look, we haven't seen each other for a long time. My Zitong has already grown into a big girl." The poor boy helped Zitong up and looked at her carefully. He saw that she looked more and more like Mrs. Gan, and he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart. "Come in quickly." Sit down and don’t let the wind blow outside.”

"Where's Hong Yue?" Zi Tong walked into the house and looked for Hong Yue.
"Your brother is a little injured. He should have taken medicine and is falling asleep at this time. When he wakes up, you can just go and see him." The poor man pulled Zitong into the room.

The mother and daughter were sitting on the pauper's bed. Bai Rui was taking a nap in the pauper's bed. Zi Tong hadn't seen him for a long time. She felt that he had grown a lot, but she didn't dare to wake him up.

"How did Hong Yue get injured?" Zi Tong was still worried about Hong Yue.
Pao'er then told Zi Tong in detail about Hong Yue's injury.
After hearing this, Zi Tong was furious, "But this useless warrior, my mother treated him so politely, he was so shameless, and he hurt my brother for no reason. I don't know what my mother is afraid of. I'll call you Kunlun." Just go and tear him apart, why is Fan De so angry with him?"

"You child, Master Heming, have you only been taught to tear people apart over the years? There are so many ministers in the court who will tear apart those who are rebellious and those who are wrong. Then your father has not become a loner. "The poor boy laughed

"How are you now?" Zi Tong also felt that his words just now were a bit reckless because he felt sorry for his brother. "Does General Jinwu still have any objections?"

"The day after your brother was injured, I sent someone the apprenticeship ceremony, but he accepted it all. He only waited for your brother to recover and kowtow to become his apprentice. Do you think he could rebel like this?" son mentioned

"What kind of ability does he have? Mother is the worst to Hong Yue. Let's see what kind of master is chosen for him to learn martial arts from him. I think it's better to add more guards to him." Zi Tong also knows that Pao Er has all his thoughts. Between her and Hongwen, it's really unfair to Hongyue

"Nonsense, General Jinwu is very skilled in military arts, and he is unique in the northwest of the Central Plains. If Hong Yue can learn it in the future, he will definitely guard the borders of the country for your brother, and let your brother secure the throne," said Pao'er. arrive

"All the hard work has been given to Hong Yue. Mom, you can't let him be an idle prince in the court. If he can't live a good life, you have to let him go to the battlefield. It's hard on him." Zi Tong heard the poor boy say this I feel sorry for Hong Yue even more

"Being born into a royal family, you can't help yourself. Your brother, your brothers are like this, and so are you." Paoer said pointedly.

"What's the plot behind mother's sudden call for my daughter to come back this time? Don't try any tricks to make her submit. Mother can just say what she wants. Since my brothers can all sacrifice themselves for the royal family, there is no need for a daughter." Zi Tong listened. When the poor man said this, he knew that his mother must have risked his life for the sake of his father's empire.
"What kind of conspiracy do I have?" Pao'er said with a smile, "It's just because I couldn't come up with an idea that I asked you to come back and think of a way."

"It's rare that my mother doesn't dislike me, and there is something that makes me think of a way. My daughter wants to hear what it is." Zi Tong is still very vigilant, afraid of accidentally falling into the trap of poor children

"Well, it's your grandfather's business." Pao'er was thinking about how to convince Zi Tong that although Hongwen and Zi Tong were not her biological children, they were raised by her. Pao'er treated their brothers and sisters better than her biological children. The identity of Prince Hongwen also relied on the poor children's love for them. The regent also loved them very much, especially Zi Tong, who was always more caring than the poor children.

Although Zi Tong has not been at home for a long time, he always receives things and letters from his grandfather. The letters always express greetings and concern for him. Hearing that this is his grandfather's business, Zi Tong naturally pricks up his ears and listens.
"The sixth prince and the old emperor of the previous dynasty were born to the same mother. They have a very good relationship. They only think about the previous dynasty. According to your grandfather's intentions, they have long wanted to kill him, but your grandfather has already committed treason." The crime, I really don’t want him to be charged with murdering his brother again, if this trouble can be solved peacefully, I still want to solve it peacefully.” The poor child told Zi Tong all his thoughts
"If this is the case, does mother want Zi Tong to kill him?" Zi Tong had already guessed his mother's thoughts, but he was still pretending not to know.
"You child, how come you have learned to be so violent now? You either tear this thing apart or kill that one. You know clearly that this is not what I mean as a mother," Pao'er said.

"I know what my mother wants me to do, but is his son stupid and ugly?" Zi Tong expressed his worry

"The son of the Liuwang family Zhaoqing is a talented person, smart and handsome, right from wrong, but a rare talent," the poor boy praised sincerely

"Then I'll just give myself a hard time," Zi Tong sighed.

"But Zhaoqing has already married a wife," Pao'er said while holding back his laughter.

"Mom actually asked me to come over and be my concubine?" Zi Tong looked a bit confused.
"Who said that you should marry Zhao Qing? Even if you are willing, he will definitely not be willing. He has a deep relationship with his wife and will never marry her again." Pao'er and Zhao Qing are close friends.
"Is it difficult? Is it possible? Is it possible that mother wants me to marry the Sixth Prince?" Zi Tong looked at the poor boy in disbelief.
"Hahaha" Paoer finally couldn't help laughing, "Didn't you become your mother's aunt when you married the Sixth King?"

Zitong couldn't figure out what the poor boy was thinking for a long time, and when she saw her laughing at him, he stretched out his hand to shake her, "Mother, don't laugh, what do you want my daughter to do, just say it."

"Zhaoqing has a son who is a few years younger than you. Mother wants you to find a way to make him marry you." The poor boy said, "His grandson married you. I see how he will rebel. He can't even marry his own grandson." Just ignore it.”

"The grandson of the Sixth Prince?" Zi Tong thought for a moment and then asked, "What kind of person is he?"

"I don't know this, my mother. He was not born when I married your father, but judging from the looks of his father and mother, he should be pretty good-looking. As for whether he is stupid or not, you have to see for yourself."

"Okay," Zi Tong said, "You have to get married anyway. If it can solve some troubles for your father and brother, it will be worthwhile for your daughter to marry. Mother doesn't have to worry about other things, just leave it to her daughter."

The pauper smiled and nodded in agreement.
"I'm going to see my grandfather in the evening," Zi Tong said again
"Why are you in such a hurry to go today?" Pao'er said, "Your grandfather has gone out, maybe he hasn't come back yet."

When Zi Tong heard the words, he asked Huazi to pass on the message, and asked someone to go to the Prince Regent's Mansion. If the old prince came back, he would immediately call someone to report
"Why didn't I come back with you, kid?" Only then did Pao'er realize that Zi Tong had only brought back Hua Zi and Kunlun Nu.

"My master is old and there is no one around him to take care of him. This guy is smart and does things properly, so I asked him to stay and take care of my master," Zi Tong replied.

"My son has grown up," Pao'er praised hurriedly. Time flies so fast. Seeing that his three children are all so sensible, Pao'er felt very relieved. Only then did he realize that he had grown much older in just a few years.
