Chapter 338: The Fish and the Bear's Paw
Although the prince did not directly point out his attitude towards Cheng Jinzhi, from his meaningful words, the sharp-minded Yuan Peng still saw some clues. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
He is not the kind of person who will flatter because of his position of power, and at this moment, even in the face of the princes of other countries who have interests in him, he still jokes with interest and asks the doubts in his heart.
"Oh, is my intuition too sensitive, or is it really too much to think about it, it seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to have a little other meaning to this Princess Yan?"
Hearing the snapping of Yuan Peng's fingers in his ears, the prince first jumped between his eyebrows, then relaxed his cheeks and smiled at the corners of his mouth, and did not shy away from meeting Yuan Peng's eyes that he had already expected.
"His Royal Highness King Heng didn't think much about it, and that's the case. ā
Seeing that the prince was outspoken, Yuan Peng smiled, and then nodded slightly exaggeratedly: "In this way, the phrase that the hero is sad about the beauty pass is also applicable to His Royal Highness the Prince." ā
"His Royal Highness King Heng is wrong. The crown prince laughed vaguely twice in his throat, "This palace is the respect of the prince, what kind of woman do you want to get?" It's just that this Cheng Jinzhi is indeed a little different from those vulgar fans outside. Maybe it's because the palace is used to seeing those women in the palace who can only compete for beauty and flattery, so I think she is a little fresh. ā
Yuan Peng shrugged his shoulders and agreed: "Hmm... Although I haven't had much contact with this Princess Yan, I really feel the same way with what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said. Can this be described in that sentence, the hero sees the same thing?"
Hearing Yuan Peng's words, the prince couldn't help but laugh loudly: "Hahaha, if a woman gets the pity and love of too many men, it will really be a disaster." In fact, if she is not the princess of the third brother, this palace really wants to consider including her in the East Palace. It's a pity that she chose the wrong man, and she is so ignorant, if she didn't suffer a little, she really didn't know who my master after the Great Zhou was. ā
But speaking of which, the man she chose could be seen to be true to her. ā
Yuan Peng said unhurriedly, his gaze fixed on a certain place in the open space in front of him, and suddenly became deep and long.
Immediately afterward, a heavy guilt came out of the depths of the eyes, and then it was fleeting in another moment, making it difficult to capture.
"True feelings?" the prince twisted the corners of his eyebrows and snorted contemptuously, "Throughout the ages, how can anyone who has achieved great things be bound by the love of these children? ā
"That's what I told Xi'er at the beginning. ā
Yuan Peng retracted his expression and sighed, and lowered his eyes a little gloomily.
However, even though she was used by her father as a tool for political marriage, she still wanted to pursue the love of her heart. I can't bear to see her depressed all day long in order to marry someone she doesn't like, and she hastily lives her life before trying her best to achieve her wish. But he didn't expect it, but instead pushed her into a fire pit. ā
"This palace knows that His Royal Highness King Heng and Princess Yuanxi have a deep brother and sister relationship, but this path was chosen by the princess herself, and she can't complain about others. Maybe for her, instead of marrying a man she doesn't like, it's better to marry someone she really loves, even if she can't come for a long time, but it's worth it to have a moment of joy by her side. You must know that this life cannot be satisfactory in the world, and some things are involuntary after all, and there is only one who can be gained. ā
The prince raised his hand and patted Yuan Peng's shoulder comfortingly, and then leaned close to his ear and said heavily.
Could it be that His Royal Highness King Heng is willing to be a subservient minister all his life, being trampled underfoot, and watching that person who is a hundred times more useless than himself sit on the throne and guide the country?"
Hearing the prince's words, Yuan Peng, who was still solemn and full of self-blame, suddenly brightened his eyes and slowly raised his head.
Seeing the change in the expression on Yuan Peng's face, the crown prince relaxed the corners of his eyebrows and continued to persuade: "Your Highness, don't worry, this palace has promised you that no matter what kind of catastrophe the Yan Wangfu will suffer, it will ensure that Princess Yuanxi's life is safe, and she will definitely be sent back to Dachu safely." ā
"Everything is up to His Royal Highness the Prince. ā
Yuan Peng tightened his facial muscles and bowed to the prince very respectfully to thank him, with a layer of helpless sadness shrouded in his eyebrows.
"If Xi'er has any three strengths and two shortcomings, I will not be at ease in this life. Of course, even if she can return to Da Chu safely, in this life, I'm afraid she will hate me to the bone, right?"
"No one can say what will happen in the future, His Royal Highness King Heng should leave time to change. What we need to grasp now is the present. ā
The prince brushed the dust on his sleeve disappreciatively, and was not infected by Yuan Peng's spreading sadness.
"But speaking of which, fortunately, Princess Yuanxi told your brother that Cheng Jinzhi ran to ask her for help, otherwise if she suddenly ran to her father and sued the palace, then the East Palace would be in great trouble. They can think of this from the missing official silver, His Royal Highness King Heng should know what kind of difficult opponents we are facing?"
The prince raised his eyebrows, and as he spoke, he saw a figure dressed as a maid suddenly walking briskly from the corridor opposite, and then stepped out of the corridor, bowing to Yuan Peng with a capable posture and asking for instructions.
It's just that when the maid's eyes caught a glimpse of the prince beside Yuan Peng, as if she was suddenly frightened, her eyebrows suddenly trembled deeply, and even her tone became a lot weaker.
"Your Highness, the slave has something to say. ā
"Jade pot, I really didn't expect it... Will see you here. ā
The prince's eyes flashed slightly, and the corners of his mouth were hooked and stared at the woman in front of him tightly, although his expression was a little surprised, but there was clearly a hint of playfulness in his eyes.
"Slave... The slave maid visits His Royal Highness the Prince. ā
When the prince said this, although the jade pot looked reluctant, he could only hurriedly turn sideways and salute the prince, and the whole person looked a little nervous.
Yuan Peng was originally worried about what the jade pot said, and when he saw the prince next to him blurt out the name, he couldn't help but feel a little shocked.
"What's the matter? It turns out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also knows this girl?"
"Know, of course know. ā
The prince said with a smile, with a hint of madness in his tone, and then turned his head to look at Yuan Peng beside him, who looked confused.
"After that incident, this palace thought that you had been in a different place, and Xiang Xiaoyu died, but I didn't expect that you were not only blessed with a great life, but also with a new master at this moment. ā
