Splendid Book

Chapter 53 Brotherly Love
The rain a few days ago seemed to bring the whole world into late autumn, and the yellowed leaves only needed a breeze to blow off the branches.At this time, the palace servants in charge of cleaning the imperial garden must always be vigilant. If a fallen leaf is seen by the steward, they will be punished if they turn around.

Ji Yu was wearing a thin cloak, walking very fast with his height and long legs, and the little eunuch behind him trotted along.

When he arrived at Concubine De's palace, he heard that Concubine Fang was talking with Concubine De, he nodded, and went into the next bright room to wait.After a while, I saw a woman in a rose-red silver pattern embroidered with a hundred butterflies came out from the inner hall and led a group of court ladies out through the door.

"Seventh Prince, Your Majesty invites you to go," the little maid came over and invited him to go.

When Ji Yu passed by, she saw Concubine De wearing a half-worn palace attire, wearing a simple bun, and only inserted a jade hairpin carved from jade. There were plum blossoms on the head of the hairpin, which were either budding or already in full bloom. Elegant.

"My son, please greet my mother and concubine."

Concubine De looked at the tall and straight young man in front of her, with a faint smile on her face, and said softly: "Get up, the weather has been getting cold these few days, did the people around you add some clothes for you?"

"Mother and concubine, please don't worry, the palace servants around my son are quite meticulous in their service," Ji Yu nodded slightly and replied softly.

Only then did Concubine De show a reassuring look, and said: "That's good, you live in the prince's place, and the mother concubine can't take care of you on weekdays, I just hope that the palace people around you can take care of you carefully, don't be like you Brother like this."

After hearing this, Ji Yu showed a worried expression on his face: "I only found out when I went to the study room today that my ninth brother was ill, and my son rushed over after school. I don't know if my ninth brother is going to sleep now?"

Concubine De smiled lightly, and was about to speak, when the curtain next to her was suddenly lifted.A young boy ran out from inside, wearing a bright blue brocade robe. When he saw him, he immediately shouted happily: "Seventh brother, you are here."

"Why did you get up all of a sudden, it's not for you to have a good rest," Concubine De saw him coming out, she stood up anxiously when she saw him come out.

And the maid who followed the Ninth Prince immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy when she saw the empress so angry, "Your Majesty, the slaves stopped her, but His Highness insisted on..."

"Mother Concubine, I heard Seventh Brother's voice and insisted on coming out, so don't scold her." Ninth Prince is Concubine De's youngest son, naturally he is extremely favored, and he is also an uncompromising landlord on weekdays.

But this is related to his body, even if Concubine De pampers him, he is not allowed to mess around.She taught with a straight face: "I asked for leave for you in the upper study, but in order to let you rest well, after your seventh brother saw you, you should go back. Go back and lie down."

Concubine De's expression was serious, and she was not as gentle as usual, and she really calmed down the Ninth Prince.

But hearing these words in Ji Yu's ears, it was indescribable.He is in good health and doesn't often get sick, but when he occasionally feels cold in summer, the concubine only sent the maids around him to see him, and restrained the ninth younger brother not to go to his institute until he recovered.

But as soon as the thought flashed by, guilt appeared on his face.Ninth brother is just a child after all, and besides, he is so much older than him, so he still competes with him to be jealous, it really does not look like a brother.In my heart, although I comforted myself so much, I was still a little sour after all.

"Seventh brother, please persuade mother and concubine, I am much better," Ninth Prince is also restless, he has already recovered half of the time now, if you let him lie on the bed, it will really kill him Woolen cloth.

Ji Yu felt a little helpless when he was holding his arm, but he still bowed his head and said, "Seventh brother, it's for your own good that my concubine mother let you rest, you should listen to concubine mother."

Concubine De showed a satisfied expression, but when she looked up at his side face, she was stunned.Like, really too similar, everyone said that the Seventh Prince's face was very similar to her mother's concubine, and his eyes and nose were like the emperor's.She showed a proud expression in front of her, but the queen was still in a daze when she saw his profile.

"The emperor is here," the sharp voice of the eunuch outside the door suddenly sounded, startling all the people in the room to turn towards the door in unison.

When the middle-aged man in the bright yellow dragon robe entered the hall, everyone bowed down.The emperor looked at Concubine De and the two sons with a smile, and said loudly: "Get up, don't stand still."

"I heard that Xiaojiu was ill, so I came here to have a look." After the emperor sat down, he looked at the two sons standing opposite, especially the youngest son. His face was indeed not as rosy as usual, but he looked It should be not seriously ill.

Concubine De immediately said in a soft voice: "He sleeps most dishonestly on weekdays. The eunuchs who are not watching the night are not guarded, and they are frozen. The concubine is afraid that he will go to the study, in case if he gets angry with others Prince, it is really a sin."

The Ninth Prince is the youngest, he and his companion are lectured by the husband alone, and they only eat together after school, so what Concubine De said can't be wrong.

The emperor nodded, he was a very handsome man, with a full forehead and a wide door, a pair of thick black eyes, which became sharper and wiser after years of experience, and a handsome nose, which was exactly the same as Ji Yu's nose.It's just that his lips are extremely thin, and when he pursed his lips, there was a sense of dignity without anger.

"Then why did I still hear Xiao Jiu making noise when I came in?" The emperor glanced at his youngest son with a half-smile.

Although the Ninth Prince may look like a bully in front of Concubine De, but in front of the emperor, he is no different from a kitten.He secretly glanced at Concubine De, seeing that Concubine Mu was looking at him helplessly, he immediately felt that his knees were a little soft.

"Father, it's the minister who promised the ninth brother that if he grows taller, he will be taken out of the palace to play," Ji Yu replied to the emperor.

The emperor glanced at the two brothers and knew that Ji Yu was playing a cover for the Ninth Prince, so his face darkened and he asked, "You take him out? When did I allow you to go out?"

Although the emperor's face was gloomy, Ji Yu was not disturbed at all, and said in a calm and unhurried manner: "Last time when I rode and shot in the Shangsi Academy, my son was the first. The emperor didn't want to reward his son with something, so this son I dared to beg my father."

The emperor listened to him talk about his son, and when he was free, he would call himself his son-in-law in a rigid manner.When something happened, he became a son.

This kid, but he already had a smile on his face, he turned his head and said to Concubine De: "Look at him, he will be negotiating with me."

"Your Majesty, forgive me," Concubine De was about to get up, but the Emperor held her down with her palm on the table.The emperor's palm was broad and warm, but when pressed against the back of her hand, it was so gentle.

She looked up at the emperor, and heard him say: "This little Qi, it's like this when I was young, if there is something good, I must think of Lao Jiu."

The smile on Concubine De's face froze suddenly, but after a while, she smiled more gently.

And her sudden change did not fall into anyone's eyes, because at this time the emperor had turned his head and said to the two sons below: "Go, go out and have a look, before you leave the palace and open the mansion , I feel that everything is fine outside.”

The Ninth Prince didn't expect to have such benefits after being ill, so he stood up happily and thanked the Emperor: "I thank you, Father."

"Thank me for what, thank you Seventh Brother for going. I originally planned to reward him with a good thing, but he didn't want it himself," the emperor said with a straight face, with Ji Yu's self-indulgent expression.

The Ninth Prince felt embarrassed when he heard it, he touched his head, discussed and asked: "Father, what did you reward Seventh Brother, can you return it to him?"

The emperor snorted, obviously despising him for thinking of something good.

The Ninth Prince was really embarrassed, and couldn't help begging: "Father."

"Then you don't want to leave the palace, let your seventh brother get this good thing," the emperor taught him with a serious face.

The Ninth Prince was about to bow his head, but Ji Yu who was next to him had already pulled him back, with the corners of his mouth raised, he smiled and said, "Ninth Brother, it's okay, Seventh Brother will win back next time."

"Are you so confident that you can win it back?" the emperor looked at him and asked with a bluff.

Ji Yu said calmly: "My son should go all out."

Seeing his appearance, the emperor laughed again.And the concubine De next to her saw this scene in her eyes, but her heart was overwhelmed.
