Chapter 172: Refusal
In the previous life, Dongfang Huayuan could finally sit in that position, except for her help, he himself was not useless. He can do extraordinarily beautiful work on the surface, he is used to winning the favor of women with rhetoric, he has no so-called feelings for anyone, nothing can compare to his interests.
He must have also seen the current situation and knew that his chances were really small, but he was unwilling to admit defeat like this. He was definitely going to give it another try, but if he didn't succeed, he didn't plan to give up his life. He doesn't want to be a rich and idle prince, he wants to really hold the real power!
"He took a fancy to Sang Guo. As soon as Ruan Jingxin's words came out, Dongfang Xu nodded in agreement.
The prince was surprised for a moment, and then he hated iron for not being steel, "Nasang Country is just a small country......"
"Although the territory of Sang is not as vast as that of Dayan, the products are not bad. Now is the time of civil strife, which is a good opportunity. Dongfang Xu took a sip of tea and continued, "I guess he directed Sang Guo's attention to Dayan, so that they could see Dayan's abundant products. The more chaotic it is, the more he can benefit from it. ”
"He should have hooked up with some forces in the Sang Kingdom now. I don't know what agreements were made with each other. Ruan Jingxin said but smiled. She had long wanted to completely solve Dongfang Huayuan, once or twice, she wanted to find someone to assassinate him directly. But she had her pride, and she was going to trample him under her feet.
"This matter must be reported to the emperor!" the prince stood up angrily, "I don't believe it, this time my father will show mercy to his subordinates!"
"Your Highness, slow down!" Dongfang Xu organized the pace of the crown prince, "Your Highness, Your Majesty is very old, so he is also extremely tolerant of his heirs. This matter, we are just inferences, and we still need to get real evidence. ”
The prince thought about it, and couldn't help but sigh too much, "Then you say, what should I do now? It is not a matter of a day or two to investigate this matter, what should those innocent people do?"
"Your Highness, the matter of the second prince is certainly not easy to handle, but the matter of suppressing the Liukou cannot be delayed!" Ruan Jingxin said, "Our people in Dayan naturally have to be protected, and those people from other countries who stand on the land of my Dayan and do evil cannot be spared." ”
"If the Sang Kingdom takes advantage of this ......"
"Then let's question them! Ask why we should let their people kill in my Dayan's land! If they don't give up, let's draw a scoop according to the gourd!" Ruan Jingxin curled the corners of her lips.
Dongfang Xu immediately understood what Ruan Jingxin meant, "Having said that, our Dayan's ship is much stronger than Sang's! When the time comes, we don't need to say anything, just drive the warship to Sangguo's port! Well, I heard that Sangguo is now a pot of porridge, it's really not good, let's help them?"
Dongfang Xu's fox eyes shone brightly, and Ruan Jingxin knew that he was also eyeing the fat of Sang Guo, and she couldn't help but want it. The appetite of these people is bigger than the other, and she just thought about those small islands, but they are eyeing Sang Guo.
The crown prince is also a very smart person, but most of the emperors who have been recorded by history have made achievements in opening up the territory or ruling in a prosperous era. He understands that there is no problem with Shoucheng, and the current Dayan seems to be prosperous enough. But these are really not enough for him to want to be an excellent emperor.
The three of them didn't speak again, but looked at each other and smiled.
Ruan Jingxin and Dongfang Xu walked out of the study together, and the prince was ready to go up and talk about the suppression of the Liukou.
The two men walked side by side, and neither spoke. The wind seemed to be much warmer, and the sun was warmer. The people behind them seemed to notice something different, and they all consciously followed a little farther away.
Ruan Jingxin was a little distracted, Dongfang Xu looked at her sideways and smiled for a while, "It's a year older, but it's grown a little." ”
Ruan Jingxin turned her head and looked sideways at Dongfang Xu, "I'm a year older, what about you?"
Dongfang Xu seemed to smile lightly and self-deprecatingly, "I? I don't care about anyone anyway, I'm very relaxed, not in a hurry at all?"
Ruan Jingxin smiled, "I'm not in a hurry, didn't the female official deliberately wait until she was twenty years old to marry freely?"
Twenty years old! Dongfang Xu felt that his face was going to darken. He took a deep breath and felt that Ruan Jingxin had not yet opened his mind, he just needed to guard the person well, there was no need to worry, and he could cultivate his feelings well.
But just when Dongfang Xu was thinking about whether to invite Ruan Jingxin to Yunguilou for tea or what, what he didn't expect was that as soon as Ruan Jingxin walked out of the gate of the Prince's Mansion, he was stopped by the people at the door and invited to a carriage and pulled away!
These, Dongfang Xu's face is even darker. "I'm so old, I'm really shameless!" Listening to the wind, he glanced at the carriage that had gone away, and then looked at the master of his house, and pretended to be a piece of wood.
Ruan Jingxin was also a little strange sitting in the carriage of the Lingnan Palace. Since Lingnan Wang Shizi and Ruan Jinghua got married, she has not had any dealings with her, let alone intimacy. There were times when she didn't go to the banquet herself. This time, she chased to the door of the prince's mansion so 'sincerely' to invite her, which really surprised her.
The carriage entered directly through the side door and pulled the person to the door of the second courtyard. Ruan Jingxin got out of the car and changed to a soft sedan chair, all the way to Ruan Jinghua's yard.
The layout of the Lingnan Royal Mansion is the kind of elaborate and elegant of the south. Even in this season, the garden is dotted with vibrant flowers and plants.
"I'm in such a hurry to call you this time, I can't help it. Ruan Jinghua became plump after marriage, and she was a little more feminine than before.
Ruan Jingxin saw that she didn't go around the corner, so she asked briskly, "If there is anything, you can tell me directly, I will consider it if I can help." ”
Ruan Jinghua also seemed to understand Ruan Jingxin's temper, "You...... Can you help me...... Embroider a purse?"
"Poof!" Ruan Jingxin couldn't help but squirt out the tea she had just entered. "You called me here in such a hurry just to embroider a purse?"
Ruan Jinghua was a little sneering, "I had a purse that you gave me before, and the prince gave it to him when he thought it was good......"
Ruan Jingxin was a little speechless, "You ......" purse can be given to brothers and sisters or relatives and elders, but this cousin-in-law ...... Isn't that right?
"This matter is not proper!" Ruan Jingxin shook her head firmly. Before a man gets married, clothes, shoes, hats, accessories and other things are generally managed by the family's needlework room. After men get married, most of them are wives who bring their own girls to take care of all the clothes. Ruan Jingxin, an unmarried little girl, how could she wade into such troubled waters?
