Chapter 1130: Dusty Story (2)
Subsequently, King Jing Zhao Yuanxi and King Yu Zhao Yuantong went to meet their third uncle, that is, Zongfu Zongzheng Zhao Laiyu. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After the plea of Zhao Yuanxi and Zhao Yuanyu, Zhao Laiyu agreed to sell the empty house to these two nephews, after all, the two nephews bought the old mansion under their control in order to give it to their younger brother Zhao Yuanyan, which is very in line with the concept of harmony and unity of the brothers of the Zhao Laiyu clan.
And this mansion is the Yiwang Mansion thirty years later.
With the prince's fortune accumulated by the three of them for many years, plus the subsidy of their respective mothers, they bought this old mansion, Zhao Yuantong wanted to tell Zhao Yuanli the good news immediately, but unfortunately, they did not have a token to enter and leave the palace, only on the first and fifteenth days of each month, they had the opportunity to enter the palace and greet their father Zhao Kang and their respective concubines.
Of course, at this time, they also had another way to enter and exit the palace, that is, to take the secret passage, but Zhao Yuanxi dissuaded Zhao Yuanxi, because Zhao Yuanxi felt that it was better to use this secret passage as little as possible, after all, if it was known outside the palace, it would be a big crime.
So, after waiting for half a month, Zhao Yuanxi and Zhao Yuantong brothers had the opportunity to enter the palace and told Zhao Yuanli the good news.
A few months have passed, and because of the existence of that secret passage, Zhao Yuanli does not feel depressed at all when he lives in the palace, because he will sneak out of the palace through the secret passage five days away from the mountain, looking for the two brothers, Zhao Yuanxi and Zhao Yuantong.
"It's a pity that this secret passage only leads from inside the palace to the outside of the palace, if only it could lead to the outside of the city......"
At a small gathering in the Tingfeng Pavilion one day, Zhao Yuanli was still dissatisfied and said to the two brothers, Zhao Yuansi and Zhao Yuantong.
Hearing this, Zhao Yuanxi and Zhao Yuantong couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
In their opinion, the distance between Tingfeng Pavilion and the old mansion in the city was not far, so the ancestor had a way to dig a secret passage, but it was much more difficult to dig a secret passage from inside the city to outside the city.
"You, don't think about it, don't you just stay up for a while, and in a year and a half, won't you be able to leave the palace?" Zhao Yuanli amusedly dissuaded Zhao Yuanyan's whimsical thoughts.
However, Zhao Yuanyan pouted and said, "What can you do if you move out of the palace?" It's not that you can't get out of the girder? It's nothing more than moving from a narrow cage to another, a slightly more spacious one. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Yuanxi and Zhao Yuantong couldn't refute it, after all, according to the ancestral system, only after they experienced the crown ceremony and became true adults, could they enter and leave the Daliang City Gate at will, and before that, they could only stay in Daliang City honestly.
"Okay, okay, it's rare for me and Yuan Bai to enter the palace, so don't look like this, by the way, by the way, this year, the local tribute has some golden-scaled fish?"
"Golden-scaled tail." Zhao Yuanyan said with a smile when he heard this: "In the fish viewing pond in the Imperial Garden, I have already sneaked in to take a look. ”
Zhao Yuanxi and Zhao Yuanqi glanced at each other, smiled wryly and shook their heads.
So, while laughing, the three brothers walked in the direction of the Imperial Garden.
During this period, they met a team of palace maids, and when they saw Zhao Yuanxi, the king of Jing, and Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, they stopped to watch in the distance.
After all, these two princes have reached the age of marriage, but they have not yet been canonized as princesses, which is really a good opportunity for some palace maids in the palace.
Don't think that the palace maids in the palace are all from poor people, in fact, the palace maids in the palace are actually the daughters of aristocratic families, and their fathers, when they were about ten or eight years old, sent them to the palace, as for the purpose, it is self-evident - if you are lucky enough to be favored by today's son, then of course it is the best, even if you are not favored by the Son of Heaven, you will have the opportunity to participate in the competition for the place of the princess.
Of course, those who are willing to send their daughters into the palace to cling to the royal family are almost all small and medium-sized nobles in Wei, and the real big nobles will not send their daughters to the palace to suffer, they only need to hand their daughters' picture albums to the Son of Heaven or the queen when the prince is suitable for marriage.
However, because of Zhao Yuanyan's relationship, those palace maids did not dare to approach, but just watched from a distance, after all, there are rules in the palace that palace maids are not allowed to contact the prince who has not left the palace.
Therefore, Zhao Yuanli laughed and ridiculed Zhao Yuanli for ruining his affair with Zhao Yuanxi.
Of course, he was just joking, after all, the three brothers knew that the only person they would marry in the future could be the daughters of some big nobles in the country.
These princes have almost no autonomy in marriage.
At this time, Zhao Yuanxi was looking intently at the opposite side of the fish viewing pond, only to see that on the other side of the pool, there was a strange young woman wearing a raccoon sara skirt, sitting on a stone next to the pool, looking at the swimming fish in the pool with a quiet and peaceful expression, with a slight smile on her face.
Good...... What a beautiful man......
Zhao Yuanyan stared at the beauty on the other side of the pool with wide eyes, and his heart was pounding.
"Huh?" Zhao Yuanxi touched his chin and said in surprise: "This girl is so face-...... Old Five, do you recognize? ”
Zhao Yuantong pursed his lips when he heard this, and said with little concern: "It won't be the old man's newly recruited concubine into the palace, right?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, how is it possible?" Zhao Yuanxi rolled his eyes when he heard this, and saw a few little eunuchs passing by not far away, so he summoned them to the front, pointed to the woman opposite the fish pond, and asked, "Who is this woman, she doesn't look like a person in the palace." ”
The little eunuchs all recognized Zhao Yuanxi, His Royal Highness King Jing, so they replied respectfully: "Back to Your Highness, this woman is the daughter of Xiao Boyuan, Marquis of Nanyan, Xiao Shi, as for why she entered the palace, I really don't know." ”
"Oh." Zhao Yuanxi nodded suddenly, waved his hand to dismiss the little eunuchs, and said to Zhao Yuanxi: "It turned out to be Xiao Boyuan's daughter...... Yuan Bai, what do you think? ”
"I'm afraid I'm going to get married." Zhao Yuantong frowned, and said in a low voice: "My father killed the old general Xiao Yan a few years ago, and the relationship between the Nanyan Xiao family and the royal family is not as good as before. Speaking of this, he glanced at Zhao Yuanxi, and said with a smile: "The third child (Zhao Yuanzuo) just got married last year, if nothing else, the object of marriage should be you, the fourth royal brother...... Congratulations. ”
"Hey." Zhao Yuanxi laughed twice, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhao Yuanyan out of the corner of his eye, and saw him looking at the daughter of the Xiao family with a red face, so he deliberately asked, "Sixth, why don't you speak?" Sixth? ”
"Huh?" Zhao Yuanyan woke up like a dream, and said with a red face: "I...... I don't know. ”
Zhao Yuanxi glanced at Zhao Yuanli narrowly, then hugged the latter's neck, and said with a smile: "Yuan Li, don't say that being an elder brother didn't give you a chance, this girl looks really good, she was born in Yemen, if you have the courage to talk to her in the past and ask her name, Yuan Qi and I will help you promote this beautiful thing." Otherwise, this woman may be your fourth sister-in-law in the future. ”
These words made Zhao Yuanling's face red, and he waved his hand again and again and said: "How dare the little brother think anything wrong about the fourth sister-in-law?" ”
"Don't listen to Yuan Tong's nonsense, what is the fourth sister-in-law, this title has not yet been decided, we are brothers, everyone has a chance. …… What do you think? Zhao Yuanxi said with a smile.
Under the encouragement of Zhao Yuanxi, Zhao Yuanli finally mustered up the courage to walk to the opposite side of the fish viewing pond after hesitating for a long time.
Glancing at Zhao Yuanyan's back, Zhao Yuanyan said softly: "That's ...... Shaw's daughter. ”
As if he had guessed Zhao Yuantong's thoughts, Zhao Yuanxi said indifferently: "You and Yuan Yan are both my humerus brothers, and there is no difference between you and me getting this daughter......
Zhao Yuantong took a deep look at Zhao Yuanxi, nodded, and then said worriedly: "I'm afraid that we are self-inflicted......"
"Huh?" Zhao Yuanxi was stunned when he heard this, and was about to ask, but saw that Zhao Yuanyan had walked near the woman, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Wait a minute, there will be a good show." ”
Seeing the look of narrowness on Zhao Yuanxi's face, Zhao Yuanxi smiled bitterly and shook his head.
At the same time, Zhao Yuanli had already walked behind the daughter of the Xiao family, and opened her mouth several times to speak, but she couldn't bear to break the quiet and peaceful atmosphere, so she stood there stupidly.
However, Xiao Shi had already noticed Zhao Yuanyan, and when he turned around, he saw that his face was red, so he chuckled and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”
Looking at that beautiful face, Zhao Yuanyan's mind was blank, and he turned his head and left in shame, not to mention that Xiao Shi was dumbfounded, Zhao Yuanxi and Zhao Yuantong on the other side of the pool were also very happy.
After Zhao Yuanli returned to the two brothers with a red face, Zhao Yuanxi supported the rockery next to him with one hand, covered his stomach with the other, and said with a smile: "Yuan Ling, Yuan Ling, why are you ......?"
Speaking of this, his voice stopped abruptly, because he saw that the daughter of the Xiao family actually followed Zhao Yuanli here.
I saw that under the stunned gaze of Zhao Yuantong and Zhao Yuanyan, the daughter of the Xiao family walked up to Zhao Yuanxi, grabbed the latter's clothes, and said angrily: "Who are you, why are you teasing me?" ”
"I ......"
King Jing Zhao Yuanxi, the king of Wei thirty years later, looked at the beautiful face that was close at hand at this moment, and was speechless.
Faced with the angry questioning of the beauty, Zhao Yuanxi, who was far less than Zhao Yuanxi, who had a city government in the future, told the cause and effect in one go, and sincerely apologized to Xiao, which calmed Xiao's anger.
"You...... Are you His Royal Highness King Jing? Xiao Shi looked at Zhao Yuanxi with interest, as if looking at his future husband: "Do you know how to ride a horse?" ”
"Skilled in bows." Zhao Yuanxi said complacently.
"Do you know the art of war?"
"Of course."
"So, you're both civil and military?" Xiao asked with a smile.
Before Zhao Yuanxi could speak, Zhao Yuantong said with a smile on the side: "Not only is it both civil and military, but also unmarried, it is really the best wishful husband." ”
"Oh?" Xiao pursed his lips and smiled, but he was not ashamed, he wanted to come to the general's family, and the daughter of the general family was more generous than the daughter of the ordinary family.
At the same time, on the imperial garden path on the side of the fish pond, King Jing Zhao Yuanzuo happened to pass by, and saw a woman with a face laughing with Zhao Yuanxi, Zhao Yuantong, and Zhao Yuanyan, and the three brothers, and was slightly stunned.
"Who is this woman?" Zhao Yuanzuo beckoned several little eunuchs nearby and asked.
The little eunuchs replied respectfully, "This is the daughter of the Nanyan Xiao family. ”
"Xiao Boyuan's daughter?"
Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, frowned when he heard this, and looked at the Xiao family who was talking and laughing with the three Zhao Yuanxi brothers, with a little worry on his face.
"It's ...... It's not good. ”
