During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

Chapter 139
It wasn't until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month that Zhuang Yi had time to miss his father who died tragically. He found the old servant who helped Mr. Zhuang prepare for his funeral and asked about the incident.

The old servant did not find Mr. Zhuang's body, but only found some things that Mr. Zhuang used during his lifetime.

Zhuang Yi nodded lightly, "It's better to die in the countryside. I hope he can be a free man in the next life."

"Master, I feel that I died tragically, so why don't I build a temple for him near the place where my accident occurred, as a way to pray for my blessings?"

Zhuang Yi thought for a while, "Okay, I should worry about my father's death, but now His Highness can't live without people, and he will definitely not let me go. If you help me build a tombstone for my father, it can be regarded as my filial piety." ”

"Yes."

Zhuang Yi suddenly remembered that Mr. Zhuang had written several letters to him before the accident. There were many things going on at the time, so he put them away. Now he really wants to read them.

Zhuang Yi was about to open the drawer when the housekeeper hurried over and said, "Good news, young master, there is good news in the East Palace."

"Really, is she the Crown Princess?"

The housekeeper shook his head, "It's Meng Liangdi."

The smile on Zhuang Yi's face disappeared, "Meng Liangdi's father is only a fifth-grade military general. The prince will not let him give birth to his eldest son. Even if His Highness is willing, where is the prince?"

Zhuang Yi thought of something, "Hurry and prepare the car, I'm going to the East Palace."

Meng Liangdi was happy. When the emperor heard about it, he was very happy and felt much better.

"Father, Father, Meng Liangdi is pregnant. Am I going to have a nephew?" Luo Huanhuan, the emperor's youngest princess, ran in like a hot wheel and almost bumped into Eunuch Fulin who was serving tea.

Eunuch Fulin smiled helplessly, "Princess, run slower."

Luo Huanhuan made faces at her.

"It's so late, why is my Huanhuan here?"

"Of course I miss my father and came here to see him. In addition, my daughter has one more thing to ask of my father."

The emperor knew that she would not go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything, "Tell me, what else do you want?"

"No, my daughter doesn't want anything. She just wants a will."

The emperor became more serious, "It must not be an easy thing for you to be so serious all of a sudden."

Luo Huanhuan chuckled, hooked the emperor's sleeve and dangled it, "Father is indeed the smartest person in the world. He guessed it right away. I just fulfill your brother's wish."

"What is your eldest brother's wish?" The emperor felt sad. The death of his eldest son still pains him.

"My eldest brother said he wanted to go out to the palace, and I want to fulfill his wish."

Eunuch Fulin smiled and lowered his head.

The emperor pinched her nose and said, "You want to play it yourself."

"No, I really want to help my eldest brother fulfill his wish. In a few years, my daughter will get married, and there will be no chance by then."

This daughter has been wild since she was a child and wants to go outside.

When the prince was here, he would take her with him every time he went out. Now that the prince is gone, no one takes her out to play.

The emperor's heart softened, "Okay."

"That's great, Father, you are so kind."

Luo Huanhuan hugged the emperor and acted coquettishly, making the old emperor laugh non-stop.

"You should go out, but you need to bring a few more people with you. If you encounter a temple, remember to burn a few sticks of incense for your prince brother."

Luo Huanhuan's smile faded, "Father, don't worry, I will do it."

"Your brother, the prince, passed away so tragically. I feel very sad every time I think about it. Do you think he is not dead?"

"But isn't it confirmed?"

The emperor shook his head slightly, "I always feel that your brother, the prince, is still alive."

This sentence fell on the ears of Luo Jingce who came over, like a heavy hammer hitting his chest.It has been four years, can my father still not forget Luo Tingye?

Luo Huanhuan spotted Luo Jingce with sharp eyes, "Third brother, you are here."

Seeing Luo Jingce come out of the darkness, a flash of disappointment flashed across the emperor's face. They were both sons he had taught, one was upright, the other was always sneaky.

If there was no other choice, the emperor would not choose Luo Jingce as the crown prince anyway. He and Ye'er were not even close to each other.

"See you, father. I saw your father and sister talking and joking just now. I thought it was very warm, so I didn't disturb them."

It was okay not to explain, but the emperor was even more disappointed when he did.

"Get up, what's wrong so late?"

Luo Jingce's face froze. He thought to himself that if Luo Tingye came to see his father so late, would his father be so impatient?

the answer is negative.

He had never seen his father look down upon Luo Tingye.

"Why are not you talking?"

"I want to get a reward for Meng Liangdi. I want to make her the crown prince's concubine."

The fact that the father likes the child in Meng Liangdi's belly so much shows that he also attaches great importance to Meng Liangdi. He should be able to please the father by doing this.

The emperor just smiled and said, "The child hasn't been born yet. It's a bit premature to confer the title at this time. Let's wait until the child is born."

Luo Jingce's face sank, with disappointment on his face, "Yes."

Luo Huan smiled happily and smoothed things over, "Third brother, I haven't even had time to congratulate you on becoming a father."

Luo Jingce smiled and nodded, "Huanhuan is going to be an aunt, are you happy?"

"I'm happy, but I would be even happier if it was the Crown Princess who gave birth to her."

Luo Jingce was caught off guard, and his heart suddenly shook. He looked at the emperor's reassurance and understood something, "I know my guilt."

Eunuch Fulin stepped forward and said, "Princess, someone has just sent snacks from the imperial kitchen. Would you like to go over and try them?"

"Okay, I happen to be a little hungry."

Luo Huanhuan followed Eunuch Fulin to the wing, her eyes rolling around.

"Princess, stop looking, be careful of your eyes flashing."

Luo Huanhuan is not very old, but she grew up in a public house, and her temperament is not comparable to that of children of the same age.

"It's true for the third brother. My father just gave me a little reward, and the third brother hurriedly promoted Meng Liangdi's status. Isn't this a clear slap in the Song family's face?"

"I guess the Crown Princess should be anxious now. Meng Liangdi's life may not be easy."

Luo Huanhuan said regretfully, but soon became happy again, "Eunuch Fulin, I heard that your hometown is in Jiangnan. I am going to Jiangnan this time. Do you want me to bring anything with you?"

"Princess really wants to go to Jiangnan?"

"Otherwise, if you don't go out, you won't have a chance."

Fulin didn't see anything on her face, "Thank you princess for your kindness. All my parents and relatives are dead. I don't have any relatives in my hometown anymore. Princess doesn't need to worry."

"OK then."

At this time, the door of the hall opened. Luo Huanhuan anxiously ran to the window and opened a gap, watching Luo Jingce kneeling at the door of the hall.

Tsk-tsk twice, "No wonder Father doesn't like Third Brother. Every time Third Brother makes a mistake, he has to kneel here. People who don't know would think Father doesn't like him so much?"

"Perhaps the third prince thinks so."

Luo Huanhuan blinked, "It would be great if eldest brother was still here."
