Chapter Thirty-Six: Seeking Skin with the Tiger
Ye Boxian scratched his head in hindsight, smiled, and then looked at Gu Chuhuan and said seriously: "Huan'er, my father has not been able to accompany you for so many years, and I don't even know what you like to eat and what taboos you have...... In the days to come, Daddy hopes to understand all your preferences and accompany you every step of your growth, Huan'er, can you promise Daddy? ā
Gu Chuhuan was moved in his heart, and nodded vigorously: "Naturally, I have to agree, since I recognize my father, I can't get rid of Huan'er if my father wants to get rid of it in the future!" ā
"Hahaha.... You're ......."
As soon as Gu Chuhuan said and laughed, the sad atmosphere in the room immediately relaxed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Daddy, Huan'er has something to ask you."
As if he knew what Gu Chuhuan was doing, Ye Boxian instructed Chun Tao to guard at the door and not allow anyone to disturb him, before he smiled and said, "Huan'er, please speak." ā
"Daddy, do you know the original intention of the eldest prince to assign Huan'er?"
"I can guess how many points. The power of the Great Prince is not small, but there is no reliable military backing. ā
"Since Daddy guessed it, Huan'er wants to know what Daddy thinks?"
Hearing this, Ye Boxian's expression became serious: "Daddy also wants to talk to you about this matter in a few days." The eldest prince is ruthless, insidious and cunning, and is definitely not the best candidate for the prince. ā
Gu Chuhuan had already guessed that Ye Boxian would answer like this, and then asked: "The best candidate in Daddy's heart is the second prince?" ā
"Exactly. The second prince is generous and extraordinary, and has the talent to govern the country, and has the people in mind, and the prince in his father's heart is like this. ā
"In that case, why doesn't Daddy take a stand, so that the eldest prince will break off this idea of wooing you? Could it be that the father is afraid that the eldest prince is narrow-minded, which will be detrimental to the Hou Mansion? ā
Ye Boxian smiled, sandwiched another dish for Gu Chuhuan, and said: "Daddy does have some scruples, not that he has scruples about the eldest prince's attack on the Hou Mansion, Daddy has conquered the south and the north, and these contributions are enough for me to respect the Hou Mansion in stability." It's just that Daddy has to take care of the second prince, firstly, he has no heart to fight for the prince, if Daddy is eager to take a stand, I am afraid that it will become a burden for him; Second, if the eldest prince learns that my heart is for the second prince, he will inevitably speed up the pace of winning the heir; These three come, the emperor is suspicious, Qian Zhenting, the squire of the military department, has already made his position, as a second-grade military marquis, if I join the camp of the second prince, what will the emperor think? ā
When Gu Chuhuan heard this, he admired his military father, thinking that he was a human being in two lives, and everything could be analyzed thoroughly without falling into the corners, but compared with this father, his thickness seemed to be less.
"Huan'er, if Daddy asks you a word, you must tell the truth." Ye Boxian looked serious: "What handle do you have to fall into the hands of the eldest prince?" ā
Gu Chuhuan shook his head: "Huan'er didn't." ā
Ye Boxian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "That's fine." Now that you are my Ye Boxian's daughter, even if you are the eldest prince, you can no longer instruct you, you don't have to worry about this matter, your father will deal with it. ā
"Daddy, slow down."
Seeing Gu Chuhuan's words to stop him, Ye Boxian was puzzled, and then as if he had guessed something, his face showed a hint of worry: "Could Huan'er be ...... Fall in love with the eldest prince?! ā
Gu Chuhuan couldn't cry or laugh, but he couldn't explain his true intention to approach Xiao Zhengyuan, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Huan'er has no childlike affection for the eldest prince, and Daddy can rest assured." It is said that Huan'er recognized her father and naturally ignored the eldest prince, but at the moment, she can't. Because Huan'er vaguely noticed that the relationship between the eldest prince and Hanbilou's mother Chen was delicate. ā
"So what?" Ye Boxian didn't understand what Gu Chuhuan meant by suddenly coming out of this sentence.
Gu Chuhuan said patiently: "Huan'er felt strange, and also asked the maid Chun Tao, she had inadvertently seen the eldest prince and Chen's mother in a secret meeting outside Hanbi Building a year ago. Daddy, what do you think a dignified son has to talk about with a mother in a green building? ā
Ye Boxian didn't make a sound, motioning for her to continue.
"My daughter once saw Han Weixuan, the son of Han Yun, the head of the household department, molesting a Qing Qi in the private room of Hanbi Building, and if the Qing Qi did not comply, he was stripped of his clothes and beaten all over his body, and committed suicide on the spot in shame........ When such a thing happened, it was tightly covered, and there was no trace of wind in the market. Daddy, what is the reason for this? I heard that soon after, Tobe Shangshu publicly supported the eldest prince. ā
"My daughter has always been curious, the competition in the land of Qinglou is already cruel, and the act of smashing each other to make trouble happens from time to time, but Hanbi Lou has been calm, why is this? And the nursing homes of Hanbi Lou are all strong in martial arts, who is willing to spend such a large price to raise a group of excellent nursing homes that are not used a few times? ā
Ye Boxian's face changed slightly: "Are you saying that the master behind Hanbi Tower is the eldest prince?" ā
Gu Chuhuan nodded: "This is also Huan'er's guess, and it can't be confirmed at the moment." But if Huan'er's guess is true, then the intention of this great prince to control Han Bilou is worth studying. Hanbi Lou is mixed, if you understand it carefully, you can find out how much news every day, these messages are filtered, there will always be some that he wants, this is one of them. Second, the women in the Hanbi Mansion are the most top-notch in the Qinglou in the entire Annan Kingdom, although the court law clearly prohibits the court officials from setting foot in the Qinglou, but the sons of these officials do not have to be restricted, it is too difficult to directly win over the courtiers, but if you start with their heirs, it will be much more convenient......."
The more Ye Boxian listened, the more frightened he became, and he was surprised that the eldest prince actually thought of using such methods and means to gain the initiative for himself, and even more surprised was that he was the lost daughter, who was only thirteen years old, and she could see that the eldest prince was the master behind Hanbi Building, and the intention of the eldest prince was presented step by step......
This should be the scheming and wisdom that can only be learned after how much suffering and how many grievances have been suffered!
Thinking of this, Ye Boxian couldn't help but feel sad: "If that's the case, you should stay away from the eldest prince!" ā
"Daddy, Huan'er wants to ask you, are you willing to support the eldest prince?"
"Dad's words have been made very clear, the eldest prince is definitely not thinking about Dad."
"Since Daddy's mind has not changed, and Huan'er has recognized Daddy, how can he only care about himself? Daddy wholeheartedly supports the second prince, but is there a confidant placed next to the eldest prince? There are treacherous clouds in the court, how do you know how many weights the prince has in his hands? Knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles, if we want the second prince to have a chance of winning, we must first know the strength and plan of the eldest prince. Otherwise, if the eldest prince ascends to the throne one day, will our Hou Mansion still have a way to live? ....... At the moment, Huan'er is still the eldest prince, if you want to understand the opportunity, is there a better candidate than Huan'er? ā
Ye Boxian knew that Gu Chuhuan's words were reasonable, but he still kept shaking his head: The eldest prince is deep and extremely insidious, you are by his side is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger, and Daddy will never agree! ā
