After Song Ji left, Weiyu sat in the hall for a long time, until noon, Jinyu finished the salute and came out to prepare to pass the meal, Chu Hao also arrived on time, and Weiyu seemed to come back to his senses.

"Your Highness is full of worries, but are you worried about this trip?" Chu Hao sat down and asked in a low voice.

Weiyu shook her head and raised her eyes to look at her, "When Song Ji came over today, I remembered that if I left at this time, there would be a big thing that would be difficult to give up." ”

Chu Hao sat up straight when he heard this, and arched his hand, "If Your Highness is unhappy, you can entrust it to your subordinates, Chu Hao's brothers and sisters are now supported by His Highness, and they are obliged to do things for His Highness, and they will definitely live up to their mission." ”

Seeing that she was serious, she couldn't help but smile, "You have a heart, but I'm afraid you can't do this yourself, and you still need someone to help. ”

"Huge bachelor?", Chu Hao was surprised, the old man didn't ask about the world for how long he had been meditating and cultivating, did His Royal Highness encounter something on his mind, and he needed to be invited out of the mountain?

"Jinyu. Weiyu turned his head sideways and ordered, "Ask Pang Xuanxiu to come over and dine with the palace." ”

Jinyu blinked, curted her knees, and turned to go herself.

In the past, I didn't like to eat alone, and there was only one woman in the house, so Chu Hao accompanied her for lunch every day.

Chu Hao thought for a while and stood up, "So, then the subordinates retired first?"

Weiyu waved his hand, "You sit down and listen for a while." ”

Chu Hao paused and sat back down.

Pang Xuanxiu also came quickly, stepped into the door with a steady pace, and saluted Weiyu first, at this time, the meal had been placed, and Weiyu was not restrained, beckoning him to take a seat, the dishes were all placed, Pang Xuanxiu glanced at Chu Hao, and asked Weiyu in a clear voice.

"I don't know what His Highness is doing with Xuan Xiu?"

Weiyu lowered his eyes while eating, and said, "I think, today we set off for the Southwest Pass, if the King of Qi and the prince of Qi arrive in the city tomorrow, I always feel that there are some things that need to be bothered by Elder Pang for me." ”

Ask your grandfather to go out of the mountain? It is a matter of King Qi and the prince?" Pang Xuanxiu's eyes fluctuated slightly, "I don't know what His Highness wants to explain, Xuanxiu will go back to the house to inform my grandfather in a while." ”

Weiyu put down the bowl, lowered his eyelids and said slowly, "This matter is very important, I will write a letter in a while, and you will bring it to Pang Lao." This matter must be found out before I return to the city, Pang Lao and the first emperor taught his father and Uncle Qi together, now that the first emperor is gone, he is the most respected person by his father and Uncle Qi, and if he is handed over to him, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. ”

"Yes, Xuan Xiu will definitely explain it to his grandfather truthfully. ”

"Let's eat first. ”

After eating, he really repaired a book, and now it was only half a day before dark, Pang Xuanxiu quickly returned to Pang Mansion and went straight to Pang Lao's study.

In the study, Pang Laozhi, who was comparing calligraphy, was silent and entrusted him to do it himself, and he couldn't help but be a little curious.

Pang Xuanxiu saw his reaction in his eyes, and frowned worriedly, "Grandfather, but what is difficult to do? Why don't I explain it to His Highness..."

Pang Lao raised his hand to stop him, tore up the letter with an indifferent face and threw it into the pen washing jar, paced back and forth a few steps with his negative hand, and suddenly turned around to explain to Pang Xuanxiu, his voice low and solemn.

"This is the first time you have traveled with His Royal Highness Zhaohua, you must be thoughtful in your actions, Song Ji was able to be reused by her before, there must be his superiority, whether she can make her reuse and trust you, it all depends on this time. ”

Pang Xuanxiu was slightly stunned when he heard this, and said in a low voice, "Grandfather, Your Highness is already appointing me now, doesn't it mean that she is suspicious and doesn't need it? This time, His Highness took the initiative to take me on this trip, I think she must have some trust in her grandson." ”

Pang Lao shook his head, looked at him and sighed, "In the past, I only thought that this girl was very smart and thoughtful, but today I realized that she is not only thoughtful, her ideas are always unexpected, and her courage is greater than that of ordinary men, and now even I am a little surprised." She takes you on a trip, not necessarily because she trusts you, most of them are afraid that she will use this trip to test your ability and loyalty, if you make the slightest mistake, I am afraid that it will be difficult for my Pang family to enter her eyes in the future. ”

For so many years, the people who were full of wandering cities, even the one above, their grandfather had never had such a tone and attitude as today when he mentioned it, as if Mount Tai was overpowering.

Pang Xuanxiu couldn't help frowning, "What is it that makes my grandfather look at His Royal Highness Zhaohua so differently?"

Pang Lao stood with his hands in his hands, looked at the Qingbi unicorn picture hanging on the opposite wall, and couldn't help but sigh suppressedly, "She asked me to check for her, it was King Qi." ”

"King Qi?", Pang Xuanxiu muttered, then shook his head and smiled, "Isn't this normal?" His Royal Highness has never negotiated with King Qi, and it is normal for people to be wary of the vassal king. ”

"If it were an ordinary thing, why would she come to me like this? Pang Lao shook his head in a deep voice, "She is doubting the relationship between the eldest prince Wan Chengming and the King of Qi." ”

Pang Xuanxiu pondered when he heard this, and then raised his head suddenly, his face was shocked, "This... If His Highness thinks and acts like this, if His Majesty knows about it, then wouldn't it? ”

Pang Lao closed his eyes, "That's why she told me to do it, she knows very well that in this city, she can be respected by Emperor Xun and King Qi, and is familiar with the affairs of the two of them, there is no one more than the old man." ”

"But if this is known, my grandfather is afraid that he will be crowned..."

At that time, he said truthfully that someone was blowing the wind in his ears in front of His Royal Highness Zhaohua, and His Royal Highness felt that the matter was very important, and he was afraid that it would damage the face of the royal family and His Majesty, so he secretly told the old man to investigate quietly. ”

Pang Xuan sighed and said helplessly, "How could you suddenly think of this, King Qi has not returned to Beijing twice a year in southern Hunan, and the eldest prince Wan Chengming is even more secluded and can't see anyone at all, how could His Highness suspect the two of them." ”

"Such a big thing, if it weren't for the guidance of the people she trusts very much, she probably wouldn't have checked it. ”

Pang Xuanxiu thought for a while, his eyes were slightly dark, "Grandfather is saying, Song Ji." ”

Pang Lao closed his eyes and nodded slightly, "Song Ji is from a humble background, because of the resignation at the official meeting, he jumped into the dragon gate, and he was sent to the Chitose Mansion at the beginning, but because His Majesty values His Royal Highness Zhaohua, I want to use someone to see what is so good about this girl, so let Song Ji be your stepping stone." But now that he relies on his own ability, His Royal Highness Zhaohua looks at him differently, and also helps him to become an official, which is clearly cultivated as his own wings. I know that most of your brothers look down on him in their hearts, but as long as Emperor Xun favors His Royal Highness Zhaohua one day, he Song Ji will definitely be able to take advantage of the situation to rise to the top, and maybe in the future, it will be greater than all of you's creation. You and his way out is the same, with him in front of him, Zixiu, you need to cross him, you need to work hard. ”

"My Pang family has assisted the emperor for generations, and is the brain trust of the Ten Thousand Dynasties, how can a child be taught by his grandfather, how can he be defeated by a Song Ji?", Pang Xuanxiu's eyes were resolute, and he arched his hand, "Grandfather, rest assured, Zixiu will definitely be trusted by His Royal Highness and revitalize the prosperity of my Pang family." ”

"Be careful on this trip. ”

"Yes. ”
