Yu Cheng and Li Wei sat and chatted for a long time.

He sighed in his heart that Princess Chaoyang was not ignorant, on the contrary, many opinions were expressed from his daughter's point of view, which added some fun.

Time flies until the sun sets in the west.

Yu Cheng estimated the hour and reminded: "The curfew time in this palace seems to be approaching. ”

Li Wu stood up and hurriedly said goodbye: "I almost forgot!

Yu Cheng stopped the worry who was about to leave: "Are you going to run back like this?"

Li Wei replied: "I made an appointment with my brother to wait near the palace gate, you... Can you take me there?"

Yu Cheng bowed: "I'll borrow a horse, and you wait for me in the same place!"

Li Wei looked at his back, and his eyes gradually dimmed.

Yu Cheng is an honest person, she lied to him, and finally felt uncomfortable.

Not long after, Yu Cheng led a horse, he first helped Li Wei up, and then turned over and sat behind her.

"Princess, I only borrowed this one horse, and I am so offended that time is pressing. ”

Li Wei smiled: "You still call me by my name outside this palace! ”

Yu Cheng bowed his head, and with a roar, the horse ran towards the palace gate.

The autumn wind is noisy in the ears, and there are many smells on the body of the sorrow. The aroma of wine, tea, and the faint fragrance of osmanthus are just as sweet as the first sight that night.

Yu Cheng felt that his heartbeat was chaotic, and even his breathing was much heavier.

In the middle of the night, he had already arrived near the palace gate, and Yu Cheng stopped next to a chariot not far away under the instructions of Liwu.

Ziyu walked out of the carriage and saw that it was Yu Cheng who had returned with a worry on her face.

"Yu Gongzi. Despite his doubts, he bowed politely.

"The eldest prince, I met the princess on the street, and I brought her back. Yu Cheng briefly said the overview.

"My sister has a stubborn personality, she must be in trouble! It's just that time is tight today, so I can only thank you another day. ”

Then, Ziyu reached out and helped Li Wei into the chariot.

When she got into the car, she opened the curtain a little, lowered her voice and said to Yu Cheng: "In two days, I will come to play with you again." ”

Ziyu began to urge, and the chariot slowly walked towards the palace gate.

Yu Cheng drove his horse back, the wind was sparse, and the cold was penetrating, but he was smiling, and his heart was warm and fearless.

When the chariot entered the palace, Ziyu still didn't say a word, and the expression on her face was indifferent.

"Am I not behaving well?" asked Away from the worries.

"No, I didn't. Only, how can you just ride back with him on a horse?"

"He only borrowed one. And, don't you want me to be close to him?" muttered from the worries.

"No matter how polite he is, he is also a man who thinks about you! Worry, I regret it! Don't provoke him again, I will find another way." Ziyu frowned and said.

"If there was a better one, you wouldn't have let me use this in the first place!"

Ziyu closed his eyes, indeed, this is not his normality, but things have already involved worries, and he has long been out of normalcy!

Li Yu said: "I came into contact with Yu Cheng today, and I probably understood his character. He was bringingly upbringed and would not do anything morally violated. I will go out of the palace to see him in two days, please arrange it for me, brother!"

After saying that, she ignored him, and even if she stopped the car, she jumped out of the car without waiting for him to help her.

Li Wei understands his cowardice, so she doesn't give him a chance to regret it, she wants to cut off those, only in this way can Ziyu live, and let him be his true self!

Liwu and Yu Chengji came into contact twice, and the third time he naturally added Ziyu to it.

As Li Wu said, Yu Cheng's upbringing and learning are excellent. Ziyu finally put her mind at ease.

He and Yu Cheng are of the same age, and they are both men with great ambitions, so the two hit it off at first sight and talked happily.

Drinking, playing games, and occasionally going horseback riding in the countryside.

Li Wei suddenly remembered Nan Zhi, but compared with Yu Cheng, one was a real humble son, and the other was a fierce beast on the southern border.

Nan Cheng likes to drink spirits, sometimes he doesn't even use a bowl, he drinks when he lifts the wine jar, but Yu Cheng uses a small cup to drink while chatting with them.

I can't help but sigh that even if it is the same thing, different people will act completely differently.

After half a month like this, as Ruidi's condition became more and more serious, the prince finally couldn't sit still.

Li Wei learned from Concubine Hua that the prince had recently had a secret relationship with General Meng Changjin Meng, and they were quite close.

Although the soldiers and horses in the hands of General Meng are not as good as his uncle, the management of grain and grass is under his hands.

The so-called marching battle, grain and grass go first, and what he holds is the follow-up of the troops, which must be guarded against.

Li Wei told Ziyu about this, but Ziyu was not surprised.

"You already knew that, didn't you?" asked Li.

Ziyu bowed: "I can't make everyone promise to assist me." After all, the prince is a big tree with lush leaves, but I am only a seed that has just been sown, and not everyone is willing to take risks to help me. ”

Li frowned: "Do you need me to come forward to contact him?"

Ziyu said in a deep voice: "No! General Meng is just a martial artist, he is different from Yu Cheng! Moreover, you are not a Qinglou woman, you are the princess of Chaoyang in this country, how can you make you laugh everywhere?"

"So what to do?

Ziyu squinted at the autumn wind sweeping the leaves outside the courtyard, and said lightly: "It's okay." I don't have time to be distracted by these now, and someone will be unable to hold it if I put such a long line out before. Sorrow, you believe me. ”

He was silent and nodded after a while: "I have always believed in you." The big deal is that there are two pits on the ground, just stretching out your legs and lying down. ”

Ziyu pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes calm.

Yu Guoshi's Mansion

Yu Cheng had just returned home, his face was red and his face was happy.

He was about to go to his room, but was stopped by Yu Guoshi.

"What have you been up to lately? Running out all day?"

Yu Cheng immediately replied: "Recently, I made two new friends, and we chatted more closely. ”

Yu Guoshi took two steps forward on crutches: "What friend? I see, I'm afraid it's the person in the palace!"

Yu Cheng was stunned, but immediately calmed down, and reached out to help his father sit down.

"You know it all. ”

Yu Guoshi snorted lightly: "You don't think about it carefully, when is it now, and why do they want to approach you!"

Yu Cheng was silent, where did he not think about that? However, it was an addiction, and it fell into the backbone of his heart as soon as he touched it, and he couldn't quit if he wanted to!

Yu Cheng whispered: "Everything is a chance encounter, and they haven't talked to me about state affairs. ”

"If it's a chance encounter, why is it at this time? I think it's obviously the ambition of the prodigal son!" Yu Guoshi said in a deep voice.

Yu Cheng bit his lower lip, he almost never argued with his father, but this time, he couldn't hold back and said what he had hidden in his heart for a long time.

"Father, are you willing to be the crown prince?"

Yu Guoshi snorted coldly: "That is the choice of Ruidi, and he must be the most suitable candidate." ”

Yu Cheng said again: "I heard that the prince took a fancy to the folk woman and rushed it back to the palace, not long ago he was riding a horse on the street and knocked over the vendors who bought and sold on the street. ”

Yu Guoshi didn't cling to it anymore, he thought for a while, and then asked, "Then what do you know, what about the eldest prince?"

Yu Cheng saw that his heart was relaxed, and immediately said: "After getting along a few times, the eldest prince not only reads poetry and books, but is also quite proficient in the way of imperial shooting, and can wear Yang in a hundred steps." Also, after a few games, the child and him are thousands of miles apart, I am really ashamed!"

Yu Guoshi was silent, during this period of time, where did he sit, he had already sent people to investigate several times.

But that purple jade should be ignored, as if deliberately letting him know his thoughts.

It's just that if this battle of monarchs is lost, it will be the whole family who will die, as well as the charge of treason. Even if Yu Guoshi knew the prince's incompetence, he didn't dare to trust anyone easily.

After a long time, Yu Guoshi said lightly to Yu Cheng: "Let him come to see me, whether he is suitable to be a good monarch or not, I have to judge it myself." ”

Yu Cheng was overjoyed and immediately responded.

The next time they saw each other, Yu Cheng calmly told Ziyu.

"My father wants to meet you. ”

Ziyu bowed his head, and his face did not look surprised, as if everything was as he expected.

The three of them returned to the National Teacher's Mansion, and only Ziyu was invited into the study, waiting outside the hall.

Yu Cheng sat beside her, but didn't say a word.

After a long time, I only heard Yu Cheng ask in a low voice: "Your encounter with me was arranged from the beginning!"

In fact, he went to check privately, and there was no happy event in the city that day, so the daughter of the restaurant that day, Hong, was deliberately bought by someone.

"Yes. He replied calmly.

Yu Cheng's body trembled, he didn't expect her to be so honest. It's just that it's one thing for him to find out the truth, and it's another thing for her to say it herself.

He lowered his head slowly, feeling bitter in his heart. I wish I had just thought too much.

Seeing him like this, Li Wei sighed slightly, and said softly: "Although it started for some purposes, every time we get along and talk with each other, it is from the heart. Even if you don't choose to help me and my brother, I think we'll be friends. ”

Yu Cheng raised his head when he heard this: "What you said is true?"

Li Wei smiled and said, "You answer me a question first." After a few times of contact with me, do you find any difference between me and the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet?"

Yu Cheng thought for a while and then replied: "The banquet is dignified and noble, but in private... Privately..."

"But in private, it's naughty, isn't it?" Li Wu took over the conversation, "I am Princess Chaoyang at the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, but when I get along with you outside the palace, I am Li Wu! If I don't really want to be friends with you, where will I show you those normalities that are not in line with my identity?"

Yu Cheng woke up from a dream and immediately said, "I am measuring these with the heart of a villain!"

Li Wei shook his head, and said, "It's not that you don't know what my brother and I mean. At such a juncture, he helped with his heart, and I have always remembered the righteousness and favor in the middle! This kind of insult to myself can no longer be said!"

Yu Chengwu smiled to himself, he raised his hand to refill the tea for his worries: "Now that it is said that they are all their own people, even if they are friends, they must take care of each other!"

Li Wei smiled, took a sip of tea, and his heart was clear.
