Due to the joint efforts of all kinds of small means inside and outside, Yang Shijing and Yang Shangshu's calculations finally came to naught, and he sulked alone in the study for a long time. After such an incident, it was too late to cover it up, how could the Yang family still have any mind to continue to hold a night banquet? As a result, the scheduled night banquet was cancelled under the pretext of excuses. Yang Shangshu, who finally regained his calm, specially sent Yang Qian again, and invited the prince to go to the study in the outer courtyard to accompany him for a drink.

There is no need to mention the temptation to drink during the period, and Wang Zixian also called his uncle a few times very sincerely, which finally made Yang Shangshu's expression slightly gloomy. When the wine was slightly drunk, he couldn't help but look at the calm young man in front of him, and sighed: "Zixian, a new son-in-law like you, I don't know how many people are secretly eyeing you. Alas, it is also the old man who has no chance with you, and has no chance to listen to your father-in-law. However, a real 'uncle' should not be missed. ”

"How can my uncle ever distinguish between fiction and reality?" The prince raised his glass and smiled. He still remembers that Yang Shangshu should have a sister and a sister: the younger sister is the first emperor Yang Fei, the mother of Huai King Li Hua and Princess Anxing; The sister married into the Pei family in Hedong, and if the age of the children is concerned, they should at least be close to the eldest princess of Anxing. However, since he is a sincere matchmaker and claims to be his "uncle", he will only be the old daughter of the Pei family like Yang Banniang. Even if his own plan fell through, he came up with a new marriage candidate in the blink of an eye - sure enough, the Yang family's mind of wooing him and controlling him has never changed.

"You're right, but the old man is in good shape." Yang Shangshu said with a smile, "However, now that the people inside and outside Chang'an City who intend to catch their sons-in-law are like carp crossing the river, the old man naturally has his own careful thoughts. Both horizontal and vertical are their own family members, so why not kiss and kiss? The Langya Wang family and the Hedong Pei family are also very compatible. ”

“…… If it is a good marriage, the child should be grateful to his uncle in his heart......" The prince lowered his eyes, "However, no matter what, Ziling's marriage should be followed first." As for the children, just let it be. It seems that he should really think about how to find some trouble for the Yang family. Xu is that they have been too peaceful/stable over the years, only caring about managing their reputation and gaining contacts, and they have never encountered any difficulties, so they have been calculating how to control others. When he can't even take care of his own family, how can Yang Shangshu still think of him?

As for his marriage, of course, it can only be decided by himself.

Because of the drunkenness, that night, the prince Xian and the prince lived in the Hongnong County Mansion. Because the two brothers were quite worried about Wang Ziling, they did not return to another guest house arranged by the Yang family to rest, but spent the night on the couch next to Wang Ziling's bed. After Yang Qian heard this, he smiled coldly. He had heard a lot of stories from Wang Ziling, and of course he wouldn't believe in the friendship between the Wang brothers.

However, it doesn't matter whether he believes it or not, and it doesn't matter whether Yang Shijing and Mrs. Wei believe it. The important thing is that the servants and maids of the Yang family were suffering from not being able to pass on the gossip between Yang Shiniang and Wang Erlang, so they talked about Wang Dalang and Wang Sanlang, who were excellent in character and learning. For a time, everyone in every remote corner of the Yang family heard of the filial piety reputation of the head of the new branch.

Not to mention how lively the Yang family was in private, Wang Zimu sincerely felt that sleeping with his own brother was not a good errand.

All night, he was almost in a daze, not sleeping peacefully at all, and nightmares were flooding back. In the dream, all kinds of strange scenes came to his face with teeth and claws - sometimes the king of Xin'an who stepped forward to pull him up with a cold face, sometimes the princess of Changning who was full of disgust, sometimes the eldest brother who drew his sword and laughed extraordinarily, and sometimes the second brother who was unpredictable and ill-intentioned.

When he woke up completely in a cold sweat, he raised his eyes and saw Wang Zixian wearing clothes, standing beside the sleeping Wang Ziling's bed, smiling very meaningfully. He opened his mouth to speak, but Wang Zixian shook his head at him gently. So, he had to remain silent, and after a while, he heard Wang Ziling's intermittent whispering: "Mine, all mine, should have been mine...... Why didn't you die out there sooner......"

"It's a shame that you didn't get what you wanted." Wang Zixian chuckled.

"......" The blood on Wang Zimu's face faded cleanly in an instant.

Wang Zixian glanced at him, smiled without saying a word, and slowly reached out to test the temperature of Wang Ziling's forehead. As if awakened by his slightly cool palm, Wang Ziling reluctantly opened his eyes. However, the first one that fell into his eyes was the most disgusted face. Wang Zimu stood far behind, his face extremely pale.

If it is still cold today, it is indeed very easy to get cold if you fall into the water. In order to stay with the little lady of the Yang family for a while longer, Wang Ziling pretended not to know any water, and sure enough, he fell ill. He was groggy and couldn't care about the prince's expression of harmony with the prince, so he hurriedly said: "My matter with the little lady of the Yang family ......"

"Second brother, don't worry." The prince said with relief, "My third brother and I went back to Shangzhou in the next two days, just to tell my grandfather and mother. Presumably, they will definitely call the shots for you. "When you hire Yang Shi Niang, it is best to hollow out all the money that Xiao Yang has saved. Let him get the opportunity to get back all the dowry of the Da Yang family that year. As for how they will live in the future, naturally there is a daughter-in-law who Wang Ziling has tried his best to marry to worry about, so what does it have to do with him?

Hearing his assurance, Wang Zi Ling still felt uneasy, and couldn't help but look at Wang Zimu again. Wang Zimu no longer looks at him, he is also his brother, and he has a gentle temperament, so he is naturally more trustworthy. However, this more trustworthy brother has been stunned and has never spoken. At this time, bursts of drowsiness hit again, and Wang Ziling had to fall asleep unwillingly.

Until he left the Yang family, Wang Zimu didn't know how to talk to Wang Zixian. Wang Zixian did not explain him with words, but patted him lightly on the shoulder, made an appointment with him for a day, and then set off from the vine garden to Shangzhou, and then rode back to Yankangfang. The prince looked at his back in a daze, and suddenly remembered-

In addition to the warm and sweet emotions in his heart as long as he thinks about it, he still has many troubles that need to be solved urgently. His family members, who are not behaving well, or even have dirty hearts, will never be satisfied with a quiet life. If they don't want to find a way, they will make trouble sooner or later, and even use all means to hurt the eldest brother.

Since he is related to Wang Chang and Xiao Yang, and since he is their son and brother, he must have the responsibility to stop them. Otherwise, if he knows but does not speak, does not act, and does not stop, what is the difference between him and those hypocrites?

This night, Wang Zixian went to King Pu's mansion again. Li Hui had not yet returned, and the dormitory was empty, but it seemed a little more chaotic than before. He stared at the broken game in the corner, and the pieces scattered around, and did not look away for a long time.

When he came back to his senses and looked at Zhang's mother, the old lady didn't explain why she didn't let people clean up the chess game, but silently retreated with the little maids. Before leaving the door, two or three little maids couldn't help but look back at him curiously several times, but he was already immersed in his thoughts again and did not notice it.

When Li Hui returned home, the night was already very dark. The dormitory is still brightly lit, and it is no different from the old days. However, he had a vague instinct that someone was waiting for his return. Just as he instinctively quickened his pace, the chaotic feelings that he had forcibly suppressed in the corner suddenly surged out. It was as if someone was asking one after another in his heart: When do you want to pretend? How long do you want to deceive yourself?

Hesitation and hesitation made him stop and stand in front of the door. At this time, another voice sounded: Knowing that this matter cannot be done, it must not be done lightly! This kind of thing is like rebellion, and once it is discovered, it will be your doom! If one person is already in the middle of the obstacle, how can the other follow suit?! Violating ethics is secondary, and harm and danger are primary! Have you ever wondered how shocked and disappointed your parents and brothers would be if they found out?! Have you ever thought about how difficult it will be for you to spend your life together in the future?!

While my heart was struggling, the door suddenly opened. Li Hui couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at the handsome face of the prince with a smile. How similar was the look on this familiar face to the look of Wang Zimu that he had seen under the peach tree that day? How turbulent and heavy is the affection contained in these eyes as deep as the night sky? It was as if he only needed a little relaxation to completely drown him in it.

Why hadn't he looked at it before? Why hadn't he paid attention to it before? Is it really a blind spot? Or maybe it's because you're in the middle of the game?

If he had been able to detect and extinguish those feelings earlier, would he not have had to face the current difficult situation? Will they always be friends of life and death? Even if we live and die together, sleep together when we are alive, and die together in the coffin, is it just brotherly love and the righteousness of friends? The sympathy between them will only become a good story, and it is not a gossip on the streets, and it is definitely not the object of ridicule in wild historical anecdotes?

"Xuanqi?" Seeing that he had not spoken for a long time, the prince gently called his word, took him by the shoulder, and led him into the temple.

Li Hui wanted to break free, but after seeing his dimmed eyes, his heart couldn't help but soften. So, after his body stiffened for a moment, he had to go.

Wang Zixian didn't get an inch, but just pushed him to the couch and sat down, and smiled and pointed to the remnants of the chess in the corner: "What? If you can't solve the Zhenlong game, you will take the chess pieces to get angry? Xuan Qi, this is not like you. Why don't you restore this Zhenlong, and let's think about it together? He could naturally see the struggle and torment in his eyes, and it was really unwise to pick it out at this time, and it was obvious that the effect was good, as he expected.

“…… I'm a little tired tonight and don't want to play chess. Li Hui changed the topic, "Why don't you tell me about the night banquet in the Yang Mansion?" ”

"A night party?" The prince hooked the corners of his mouth, "It's called a small gathering of relatives, but in fact, it's just looking at each other." Yang Shangshu intended to make me their new son-in-law, so that it would be easier for me to act for them in the future. He had a good plan, but unfortunately it was just wishful thinking. ”

"The daughter of the Yang family, naturally, she can't be married." Li Hui replied a little absentmindedly, "You deserve a better woman." ”

"Oh?" Wang Zixian stared at him quietly, the smile on his face gradually disappearing, "What kind of bride should I marry in your eyes?" ”

“…… Only the best woman in the world can be worthy of you as a wife. In his gaze, Li Hui felt disappointment and coercion for the first time. And he also found a slight bitterness in his heart. Even if it is small, it is enough to make people's hearts mixed and complex.

"No matter how many good women there are in this world, it has nothing to do with me." The prince said lightly.

After that, the two of them did not continue to talk, but washed silently with each mind, and then fell asleep together.
