Chapter 177 Plastic Brotherhood
Although An Jiu's curiosity was overflowing, no one said anything.
Only the emperor was complaining madly.
[Third brother is really miserable...]
[I was hurt by a woman, and it seems like I haven’t gotten over it yet. 】
[Women...]
[Sure enough, it will only affect the speed at which the third brother draws his sword. ]
An Jiu "..."
She stared at the emperor's round head.
Think more, think more, can you review the whole thing?
Please, I really want to know.
However, the emperor didn't want to think about it anymore.
They talked about other things, probably things in the court, such as the issue of military pay this year.
"The military pay has been stripped away layer by layer, and there is not much left in the hands of the soldiers." King Jing was very worried. He had experience at the border before and knew the hardships there. Compared with hunger, the bone-chilling cold was more terrifying.
A person will not die if he does not eat for a day, but if it is cold and he has no cotton clothes or firewood, he can freeze to death in one night.
King Jing said, "This year is a bad year and it is cold. There will definitely be trouble in the Western Rong area."
The emperor exhaled: "The treasury has no money, and the land is in the hands of the powerful families. I am in a difficult situation."
King Jing's eyes darkened: "If this continues, the whole world will belong to them..."
He didn't say anything else, but everyone understood a little.
The atmosphere suddenly became depressing.
The Ming King spoke coldly, aiming his spear at the emperor: "It is best to prepare early. If the Western Rong invades and the Chu State sends troops again, I will not be able to withstand it."
This was said bluntly, but the emperor was not angry. He held the wine glass and suddenly smiled softly: "Are you scared, second brother?"
King Ming snorted coldly: "What am I afraid of? This kingdom is not mine."
"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's go do something else." Prince Duan saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he invited everyone to go out and play.
Anjiu put a cloak on the emperor and put a hat on him. When he looked up, he found that Prince Jing was looking at them curiously.
An Jiu "..."
No, what's that look in his eyes?
Why does it make me feel guilty like I was secretly dating in high school and the teacher was watching me?
Seeing An Jiu looking over, Prince Jing smiled and said, "Brother, I am not in good health and cannot stand the wind, so I will not go out."
The emperor nodded, not knowing what to say to him. When he was a child, these people were jealous of him because he was handsome, smart, talented, cute, tall, fair-skinned, loved by his father, valued by the imperial tutor, etc., and they all had a bad relationship with him.
The Ming King also said, "I want to paint."
Meaning, he doesn't want to go out either.
But before the emperor and Anjiu left, he suddenly threw down his brush and said, "Forget it, I'm going out to paint the horses."
An Jiu "..."
This person is really fickle.
However, how did he know that Prince Duan was going out to ride a horse?
After going out, An Jiu discovered that Prince Ming had guessed correctly that Prince Duan came out to ride a horse. It was heard that there were many small animals around and they could also be hunted.
The emperor loved this sport very much. He jumped on his horse, looked at An Jiu deliberately, then flicked the whip handsomely and rode away.
An Jiu "..."
Eunuch Li said worriedly, "On this day, on this road, what kind of horse should I ride? What if I fall..."
At this point, he quickly spat: "Pah, pah, pah, Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune, so you won't fall down."
An Jiu "..."
It was windy outside. Although An Jiu was wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket and cotton-padded trousers, he still felt cold. After a while, he felt his face was numb.
Eunuch Li looked around and said, "Xiaojiu, go find a place to warm up. You don't have to stay here."
This is the emperor's sweetheart, and Eunuch Li thinks she needs to be taken care of to prevent her from getting sick from the cold.
The room was very warm. The servants of other princes were waiting outside. Only An Jiu entered the room. She felt a little embarrassed and had planned to find an empty corner to stay for a while, but she didn't expect to meet Prince Jing.
Prince Jing was roasting by the fire, with no expression on his face. It was unclear whether he was lost in thought or simply in a daze.
An Jiu wanted to go around her, but Prince Jing still found her.
"Your Highness Prince Jing."
An Jiu saluted.
Prince Jing stared at her for a while and smiled gently: "Is it too cold outside?"
An Jiu nodded: "Eunuch Li asked me to come in for a while. I didn't expect His Highness to be here too. Sorry to bother you."
She thought Prince Jing was still in the courtyard with the plum blossoms.
Prince Jing said, "I'm bored staying alone, come over and tell me about what's going on in the palace."
this……
Not good...
An Jiu remembered that the previous Xiaoqiu in Guanghua Palace was sent away because she was too talkative.
Prince Jing saw her concerns and said with a smile, "Whatever, pick up what you can say."
An Jiu then talked about the emperor's birthday banquet. It was not a secret and everyone knew about it.
Prince Jing listened very carefully, and after she finished speaking, he asked her what was going on between the Queen Mother and Wang Decai?
An Jiu "..."
You can't say that.
"This...I am not very clear about it either."
Prince Jing laughed.
An Jiu took the opportunity to say goodbye, left the house, and soon arrived at the previous place. There was a small pavilion there, surrounded by curtains and a brazier inside. Ming Wang was drinking a cup of hot tea and looking outside. He saw An Jiu at a glance.
The Ming King seemed to be observing her.
Being stared at like this was always uncomfortable. An Jiu frowned slightly, and then heard the sound of horse hooves. She turned her head and saw a horse stopped a few meters away from her in a very, very handsome posture.
The emperor was sitting on his horse, his face a little red from the cold wind, and he was looking at An Jiu proudly.
[Am I very handsome? ]
【Hahaha. 】
He seemed to be in a good mood and posed for a long time.
Eunuch Li couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, it's cold, please come down quickly."
The emperor then got off the horse, handed the horse to the servant, and walked towards the pavilion with brisk steps.
When I entered the pavilion, I saw Ming Wang painting.
Then he walked over,
Then he was stunned.
Then he frowned.
Then, the Ming King laughed.
"Your Majesty, what do you think of my painting?"
Ming Wang shook the painting in his hand, and An Jiu glanced at it...
That's her in the painting.
An Jiu "..."
No, is Gaolingzhihua sick? Why draw her???
Am I part of your brothers' play?
The emperor remained calm and said, "Second brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. Your painting skills have declined. No wonder the master said that you have the skills but lack some spirit."
[Is the second child sick? ]
【Why did he draw the silly goose? 】
[Could it be…]
The emperor looked at An Jiu.
An Jiu quickly shook her head to indicate that she knew nothing.
King Ming sneered: "The Grand Tutor is not a famous scholar, so what does his comment mean?"
The emperor shook his head, very helpless: "Then I don't know, this is what the Grand Tutor said, not me."
The emperor sighed, "But my second brother only has this little to show for himself, and the Grand Tutor still said this. It's really a bit too much."
Ming Wang gritted his teeth. Although he showed no expression, An Jiu felt that he must care a lot.
【Let me make you angry. 】
The emperor was secretly happy.
King Ming stared at the irritating emperor, sneered, threw the painting into the brazier, and walked away.
An Jiu looked at Prince Ming, then at the Emperor, and then at Prince Jing and Prince Duan who had followed behind to watch the show, and he seemed to suddenly understand something.
This emperor suddenly appeared and monopolized the attention of the previous emperor.
After that, all the preference was given to him.
What would the other princes think?
I tried hard at first, but later I found that no matter how hard I tried, it was useless.
Everybody gave up.
But I'm not willing to give up.
So she must have a mixture of love and hate towards the emperor. She thinks he is powerful, but she is always unconvinced and uncomfortable in her heart. Maybe she noticed that the emperor has a special feeling towards An Jiu, so she wants to deliberately anger him whenever she gets the chance.
An Jiu was speechless.
What a complicated and changeable plastic brotherhood~
