24. Recognize relatives
Compared with Yan Wenzhi's anxiousness, the third prince Yan Wenyuan was very calm and calm, and seemed to not care at all about the news and speculation that came.
Drove away all the ministers who came to the door, and at this moment, Yan Wenyuan was sitting leisurely in the pavilion in the garden of the Prince's Mansion, holding a small plate of fish food in his hand, and throwing it into the pond little by little.
He hung his head, his gaze falling on the ornamental fish competing for food, and his gaze was a little far-reaching.
After throwing a small plate of fish food, Yan Wenyuan suddenly turned around, beckoned to the young man standing behind him, and chuckled: "Feng Yan, you come over to see these fish, you see how happy they are." ”
In fact, the fish in the pond are clearly snatching the small amount of fish food, where are they playing? They may be so hungry that their mild appearance becomes so fierce that they even ram other fish that are snatching their food.
Feng Yan stepped forward according to his words, just glanced at the pond, and then turned to look at Yan Wenyuan, "Your Highness, do you really ignore the matter of the second prince?" ”
Feng Yan is the sister-in-law of Dingyuan's general Feng Dejiang, who was ordered to become Yan Wenyuan's companion ten years ago, and now he is ranked as the right general and Yan Wenyuan's first confidant.
Yan Wenyuan smiled slightly, he pointed to the ornamental fish competing for fish food in the pond, and replied, "What does Feng Yan think of these fish?" ”
"Your Highness?" Feng Yan frowned slightly, looking at Yan Wenyuan, his eyes were full of doubts and disapproval.
Seeing Feng Yan's inexplicable appearance, Yan Wenyuan smiled, and then he asked another question: "Do you think we want to make these fish?" ”
"Naturally, I don't do it." Feng Yan shook his head as a matter of course.
"yes, we're not fish." Said meaningfully, and then Yan Wenyuan stood up, he called the guards who were not far away, and ordered them to pull up the fishing nets that had already fallen in the pond.
The guards took the order, and after a while, the ornamental fish in the pond that were competing for food were all caught, and one by one they were jumping happily in the fishing nets, and soon they were dying due to lack of water.
Waving his hand and motioning for the guards to go down, Yan Wenyuan slowly walked in front of Feng Yan and said with a smile: "Seeing this scene, do you still think I should pay attention to this matter?" ”
Yan Wenhao's matter is like the fish food he just delivered to the pond, which made the originally quiet pond boil because of his fish food, if he is like these fish, he will rush up and fight for it recklessly, but he is afraid that he will accidentally fall into the trap set by whom, he still has no idea.
What's more, the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, if he really deals with Yan Wenhao this time, I am afraid that in the end he can only be a praying mantis, and the yellow finch will hide behind, seize the opportunity, and then give him a fatal blow.
pursed his lips and said, "Then Your Highness just leave it alone?" Those old ministers who cling to the old rites have been accusing you...... If the second prince returns, they will definitely respect him all, even if they are not powerful, it will still be a big trouble. ”
Yan Wenyuan was born to Concubine De, and no matter how favored Concubine De is, she is never the queen, so even in the court, most of the courtiers support him, but if he wants to sit in the East Palace, he is still unjustified after all.
Yan Wenyuan looked at Feng Yan, raised his hand and touched his face again, and said unhurriedly, "Naturally, we have to do something, but we don't need to do this matter ourselves, just let the fifth brother do it." ”
Yan Wen was far half a head shorter than Feng Yan, and at this time, the two of them were standing so close that when he spoke, he had to raise his head slightly.
He inherited Concubine De's appearance, a face that is extremely good-looking, but it is too feminine, and the way he looks at Feng Yan with a smile in his eyes makes Feng Yan look a little stupid.
Facing Feng Yan's gaze, Yan Wenyuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
Feng Yan came back to his senses, lowered his eyes in a little panic, and asked in a low voice, "Will the fifth prince make a move?" ”
Squinting his eyes, Yan Wenyuan said very firmly: "Yes, even if he won't do anything for the time being, but with his character, it won't be long before he can no longer bear it...... Let's just wait quietly. ”
In fact, he didn't particularly care about whether Yan Wenhao would return to the court, if he couldn't come back, it would naturally be the best, if he couldn't stop it, it would just add a little trouble to him, and it wouldn't shake the foundation.
Seeing Yan Wenyuan's unconcerned appearance, Feng Yan's brows, which had already loosened, wrinkled again, he opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but before he could speak, Yan Wenyuan had already turned around, turned his back to him and said indifferently: "Feng Yan, I know what you're worried about, it's just that you're too careful, the second emperor brother has lived in the palace for so many years, even if he can come back now, how much storm can he make?" Right now, we shouldn't be concerned about these little things. ”
"I see, Your Highness." Feng Yan lowered his head and stopped trying to say anything more.
******
Different from Yan Wenyuan and Yan Wenzhi's constant courtiers coming to the door in front of the prince's mansion, Lingxiao Pavilion at this time is still very comfortable.
After lunch, Yan Wenhao and Mu Ziling sat face to face, continuing the chess game that had been interrupted in the morning.
Both of them tacitly agreed not to mention the previous events and not to spoil the leisure time of the present moment.
After a game of chess, Yan Wenhao looked at the sunspots left on the chessboard with satisfaction, he raised his eyes and said with a smile: "I won this time." ”
"Yes, I lost this time." Mu Ziling put Bai Zi into the chess box, smiled lightly and responded, he was generous, he was convinced of the loss.
Yan Wenhao poured himself a cup of tea, then summoned Duoduo, motioned for Duoduo to take the chessboard away, and after a moment of silence, he looked at Mu Ziling and asked, "Do you want to go to the Imperial Garden for a walk?" ”
Mu Ziling just wanted to nod, but then remembered Yan Wenhao's body, so he hesitated: "Your body ......"
"I'm fine." Interrupting his words, Yan Wenhao smiled gently, "The weather is excellent today, and going out for a walk is also good for me." ”
"But ......" Mu Ziling still had something to say, but before he could speak, he was held by Yan Wenhao and pulled up.
Looking back at him, Yan Wenhao smiled and said, "Imperial Doctor, listen to what they say, I know how my body is, just take a walk, it will be fine." After speaking, he had already taken Mu Ziling's hand directly with a gesture that could not be said, and walked out.
Fuquan and Duoduo glanced at each other, and hurriedly trotted to follow.
It's just that they had just walked outside the Lingxiao Pavilion, and before they boarded the chariot, they saw a young man in a prince's uniform walking towards them with a little eunuch not far away.
The young man seemed to see them, only to see that his eyes lit up, he raised his hand and waved vigorously, and after shouting "Second Brother", he quickly ran towards them.
Hearing this, Mu Ziling glanced at Yan Wenhao.
Squeezing his hand, Yan Wenhao smiled and introduced, "He is my fourth brother, Yan Wenjin." As soon as his words fell, Yan Wenjin had already run in front of them.
Standing in place and gasping, Yan Wenjin's eyes lit up, he looked at Yan Wenhao and called out again, "Second brother." The voice was full of joy.
When Yan Wenhao heard this, he raised his hand and patted his head, and asked with a smile, "When did you come back?" "Yan Wenjin was sent to Yunnan by Emperor Yan before.
"Just arrived today." After a pause, he complained dissatisfiedly: "I was supposed to arrive yesterday, and I should have been in time to attend your wedding with my second brother, but something happened on the way, so I delayed it for a day." ”
As he spoke, he tilted his head and stared at Mu Ziling for a while, then showed a big smile, "You're your sister-in-law, right?" ”
Yan Wenjin is strong, and because of running to the frontier all the year round, his skin has been tanned to wheat, his eyebrows are handsome, and in terms of appearance, he is most like Emperor Yan, but his appearance is matched with his slightly silly smile, no matter how you look at it, he feels a little silly.
“……”
Mu Ziling was a little embarrassed, the word 'sister-in-law' was placed on him, no matter how awkward it sounded, but when he met these bright eyes and bright smile, he couldn't show any anger.
- He knew that Yan Wenjin's words didn't mean anything else, and this voice was just a simple greeting to him.
