My Brother-in-law is the Prince Chapter 33

Chapter 33 Entering the Palace

Zhu Zhanji was still kneeling, resting his chin on the small case, with a helpless look on his face, but he didn't make a sound, as if he was used to it.

At this time, Zhang Anshi stared at Zhang Shi with piercing eyes and said: "Sister, let me ask you one last question, are you willing to agree?"

Zhang's eyes gradually turned from indifference to tears, with a look of sadness on his face, he wiped away his tears and said, "How can I have a brother like you? You dare to do this now, and you may not know what it will be like in the future. I don't care about the matter, let you go, you do these **** things by yourself, you go and tell your brother-in-law..."

Zhang Anshi was afraid that Mrs. Zhang would be overly sad and would be pleasantly surprised. Once she was settled, her brother-in-law would be fine.

But seeing her sister who has always loved her very much, she still felt guilty in her heart, so she said: "Sister, don't cry, you listen to me, it's useful to keep it, let's let the empress see how powerful we are."

Ms. Zhang wiped her tears, turned her head away, and ignored Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi was a little helpless, so he had to walk up to Zhu Zhanji, patted his head and said, "Zhanji, you are not too young, you should be sensible in the future, and don't make your mother and concubine angry, you don't know that my sister cried for you How many times?"

Zhu Zhanji raised his head and looked at Zhang Anshi, acting as if he was demented.

Zhang Anshi was bored again, and said awkwardly: "Then I'm leaving, I'm going to prepare a big gift."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at his sister, then turned and left.

He is confident that as long as this matter is done, my sister will be happy!

In late autumn, the leaves in Nanjing City are falling, and near the East Palace, eunuchs scramble to clean the rotten leaves in the streets and alleys in front of the gate.

A sedan chair is already waiting in front of the sleeping hall of Crown Princess Zhang.

The eunuchs and court ladies bowed and waited here.

Prince Zhu Gaochi was fidgeting, sometimes stood up with his hands behind his back, sometimes sat down, picked up the tea cup and wanted to take a sip, but held the tea cup in his hand the next moment, and finally, when the tea was cold, he put it back on the tea table .

"Anshi's gift, why hasn't it been delivered yet? I'm going to enter the palace later, so it won't delay things." Zhu Gaochi was dejected.

He knew that Zhang Anshi was clamoring for a gift.

also knew that Zhang Anshi was going to hang himself.

I also know that Zhang Anshi has been missing for the past few days, and he seems to be planning something.

Zhu Gaochi was very helpless about this.

What can be done? Although he knew that this guy's hanging was fake, but Zhu Gaochi was really afraid that something would happen if he didn't follow this boy.

Zhu Gaochi could only sigh.

Now, it is too late to prepare the ceremony again.

The mother's back is just right, the gift is not given casually, it must show the filial piety of the son and daughter-in-law.

The jade ruyi has a very good meaning, especially the inscribed "shou" character, which was rubbed from the calligraphy left by Emperor Hanwen, and then carved by skilled craftsmen.

The reason why we chose the running script of Emperor Wenwen of Han Dynasty is because Emperor Wenwen of Han Dynasty was a famous filial son. Emperor Wenwen of Han Dynasty was known all over the world in the name of benevolence and filial piety, and he never slack off in serving his mother. His mother had been ill for three years, and he often couldn't sleep well without taking off his clothes. He tasted the decoction his mother took before letting her take it with confidence.

Zhu Gaochi just wanted to use this to imply that he was as filial to his mother as Emperor Hanwen.

It's just... pity... what a pity...

Zhu Gaochi shook his head sadly.

The Zhang family on the side finally said: "Your Highness, it's getting late, I'm afraid I have to go to the palace to have an audience, and if it's too late, I'm afraid it will be too late. I can't teach the father and the queen to wait."

Zhu Gaochi looked distressed and said: "It's just this ceremony..."

Zhang said: "Is there a way to choose one from the inner library?"

Zhu Gaochi smiled wryly: "Hey...let's wait a little longer."

If there is a suitable one in the inner library, there is no need to buy back the rare jade ruyi at that time.

Mrs. Zhang looked at the prince's face, and couldn't help but said in a warm voice: "Your Highness, please don't blame An Shi. Although he always likes to mess around, he has a good heart, but he just hopes to share his worries for His Highness. It's just that he is still young. , I don't know how to handle things properly.”

Zhu Zhanji on the side said: "No, my concubine was crying the day before yesterday and said how could there be such a brother..."

Ms. Zhang squinted at Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Zhanji immediately lowered his head, drooping his head and continued to mutter: "But that's what the concubine mother said."

Mrs. Zhang said: "I can say it, but you can't. He is your uncle. In this world, your closest relatives are not only your emperor, emperor grandmother, but also your parents. They are your mother-in-law. To your uncle, You can feel that there is something wrong with him in private, but you can't say that to others, you have to defend him.”

Under Zhang's serious gaze, Zhu Zhanji nodded with a half understanding.

Zhu Gaochi smiled beside him and said: "I naturally know that An Shi's heart has always been very good. Don't worry, my concubine. I don't mean to blame him. I watched him grow up. How can I not know his character?"

Zhu Zhanji said: "I understand what my father and mother concubine mean. Uncle is a **** and a fool, but he is also a **** and a fool of our family, so we can't blame him."

Zhu Gaochi: "..."

Right at this moment, the sound of urgent footsteps came from outside.

Immediately afterwards, an **** came to report: "Your Highness, Deng Jian is here."

Zhu Gaochi put on a majestic look: "Tell him to come in and talk."

After a while, Deng Jian hurried in and saluted.

Zhu Gaochi said: "What about An Shi, why is he nowhere to be seen?"

"Mr. An Shi said that the time is running out. He has already prepared the gift, but he is worried that it will be too late, so he sent someone to the Meridian Gate first. , let the servants also enter the palace with His Highness the Crown Prince and the Empress, in case of emergencies."

When Zhu Gaochi heard this, he was speechless for a while.

Mr. Zhang said: "Look, what kind of stupid thing is going on here."

Zhu Gaochi frowned and said: "It's too late, you should enter the palace quickly, my concubine, let's go."

Ms. Zhang had no choice but to nod slightly.

So, the prince and the princess's royal family set off, entered the Meridian Gate, and entered the palace.

Prince Zhu Gaochi actually didn't like to come to the imperial city, because sitting in sedan chairs and riding horses were not allowed in the imperial city, and no one was qualified except the emperor and empress.

The area here is too large, Zhu Gaochi is obese, and his legs and feet are inconvenient. He was so tired that he was out of breath all the way to Empress Xu's bedroom.

There are many eyes and ears in the palace, and he can't be supported by others, so he needs to maintain the image of the prince.

Therefore, when he arrived at the dormitory, Zhu Gaochi was already sweating profusely and his face was flushed.

Mrs. Zhang saw it, was anxious, but had to look decent, and followed Zhu Gaochi in a dignified and generous way, leading all the eunuchs and maids to the outside of the bedroom.

After a briefing, the couple entered the hall one after another.

In the dormitory, Empress Xu was sitting upright, her complexion improved a lot today, and she showed a rare joy.

Han King Zhu Gaoxu and Han Princess Webster had already arrived, and Webster was accompanying Empress Xu, talking and laughing, which made Empress Xu very happy.

Besides that, Princess Huaiqing also came.

Zhu Gaoxu looked strong, standing there, he seemed to stand out from the crowd, and was always the focus of attention, but in front of Empress Xu, he was as docile as a kitten, although he didn't speak much, but he was always appropriate Smile with me.

Zhu Di has also arrived. He stands aside with his hands behind his back, putting on a cold look. Everyone is afraid and afraid of him.

And Zhu Di actually enjoys the warmth brought by this kind of family.

But he had to put on the appearance of a son of heaven and a strict father, which seemed incompatible with this happy family scene.
