Chapter 340: A Lost Pearl?

The banquet in the Guangping Houfu was still in progress, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent Emperor Chengde back to the palace and returned to the Prince's Mansion. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The second prince and others also returned home.

Back at the Second Prince's Mansion, the Second Prince retired and sat alone in the study, playing with two walnuts in his hand.

After a while, the second prince shouted: "Someone! ”

The door of the study was opened, and the little maid outside walked in, bowed and answered, "Your Highness." ”

"Go, bring Mr. Mengji."

"Yes."

Soon, a middle-aged man wearing a stone blue cotton robe with a warm smile walked into the study unhurriedly.

"Meng Ji to meet His Highness." Li Mengji hugged his fists.

"Mr. Meng Ji doesn't need to be polite." The second prince bowed slightly, and then ordered: "You go outside to guard, whoever dares to peep and eavesdrop will be caught and killed!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness." The door of the study was closed, and the guards and servants outside the door stayed away from the study one after another, scattering the vigilant guards around.

"Your Highness." Li Mengji stood there respectfully, without the slightest doubt about the second prince's orders.

"Mr. Mengji, please be seated." As soon as the second prince stretched out his hand, Li Mengji followed his words and sat on a chair under the hall.

There was a dragon burning in the house, it was warm, and there was no cold outside, and the second prince sat quietly on the top, holding a cup of tea and taking a sip.

"I don't know why His Highness asked Meng Ji to come?" Li Mengji said in a low voice.

"Sir, you already know what happened today, don't you?" The second prince said in a deep voice.

Li Mengji raised his eyebrows, "What Your Highness said is that today's Guangping Houfu Shushe people are married, not only the important ministers of the court, but also His Majesty?" ”

"Oh? The gentleman is in the house, and he also knows about it? The second prince was surprised for a moment.

Li Mengji shook his head and sighed, "Your Highness, such a grand event, don't say that Mengji is in the mansion, even the subordinates in His Highness's mansion also know about it." ”

"Throughout the ages, how many grand events can have the emperor come to him just for the marriage of a courtier? How many people can make the emperor treat him like this? Li Mengji said admiringly.

The second prince was silent, he thought that Shu Hongxuan's wedding, except for the fifth brother, was the only one who would deign to go there, when the time came, no matter how arrogant Shu Hongxuan was, he would have to accept his favor, and other courtiers who came and went would mistakenly think that Shu Hongxuan had any other relationship with him when they saw him.

didn't expect that not only he came, but also the third and fourth brothers.

For the marriage ceremony of a mere five-grade official, four princes actually came to congratulate him, what a big face!

Forget it, the second prince can understand the reason why the third and fourth brothers came to Guangping Houfu - even if it is not to win over Shu Hongxuan, he can also see many courtiers at the banquet, this is a great opportunity to win over the courtiers!

Foreign ministers are not allowed to form parties with the prince for personal gain, and on weekdays, as princes, they cannot have too much contact with these important ministers in the court, except for the fact that they can gather so many courtiers in the court, they rarely have the opportunity to gather these important ministers and magnates together.

Even the banquet held by their prince will not send the post to these important ministers and magnates, even if it is delivered, in order to avoid suspicion, these old foxes will ignore it and will not come to the banquet.

It would be bad if he gave his father an impression of being connected, so the third brother and the fourth brother took advantage of Shu Hongxuan's wedding banquet to come here to congratulate them openly, and then meet those courtiers, of course the second prince can understand.

The third brother and the fourth brother also coveted the dragon chair, and if it weren't for the prince, the three of them would not cooperate.

Cooperation does not mean that the third and fourth children will fully support him, but everyone thinks that they will work together to get His Royal Highness the Crown Prince out of power first, and then everyone will rely on their own abilities.

What he didn't expect was that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also came.

At that moment, when he saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there was only one thought that came to the mind of the second prince: Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also starting to woo Shu Hongxuan now?

Otherwise, how to explain that His Royal Highness the Prince, who has always been alone and does not have much contact with other courtiers, actually appeared at Shu Hongxuan's wedding?

The second prince would never have imagined that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to Shu Hongxuan's wedding, on the one hand, it was because Shu Hongxuan was a member of the Zhongshu House, but the bigger reason was that Zhou Tingyu personally came to the door and invited His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come to Shu Hongxuan's town.

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came down, the second prince would not be so restless, and the most important thing is that his father and the emperor also came!

No one knew in advance that his father would go to Shu Hongxuan's wedding, even Shu Hongxuan himself was surprised.

If you just came to watch the ceremony, my father and Zhou Daru sat in the high hall on the left and right, and let Shu Hongxuan and his bride bow down!

The dignified emperor's respect, at the marriage ceremony of a courtier, sit on the high hall, and let the courtiers bow!

At that moment, the second prince even doubted whether Shu Hongxuan was the illegitimate son of his father who was exiled among the people.

This kind of treatment, only when their prince marries and marries the princess, can they have such a gift as their father.

Even if the princess gets married, it is only after the princess bows to her father in the palace that she will be welcomed back to the princess's mansion from outside the palace gate. Generally, on the second day of marriage, the princess will take the horse into the palace to meet her father.

That has already become a parent, and today's father appeared at Shu Hongxuan's wedding, squeezing Shu Hongxuan's biological father Guangping to wait for Shu Xiuhe and occupy the position of Shu Xiu and Gao Tang!

At that moment, the second prince clearly remembered that in his observation, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked a little surprised, not to mention the others, Chu Xiang, Yang Cifu, Dingguo Gong, Qi Guogong and others, all of whom were shocked.

The only one who was not shocked at that time was only Zhou Daru!

Even the father specially prepared a gift for Shu Hongxuan and his wife, a pair of jue in good condition!

The emperor came in person, sat in the high hall, and gave generous gifts!

This move and action had to make the second prince uneasy.

"Mr. Meng Ji, you know that your father went to the wedding of the Shushe people, so do you know that the father and the emperor occupied the position of Guangping Hou Gaotang, sat there, and let the Shushe people and the bride bow down?" The second prince looked at Li Mengji meaningfully and said faintly.

As expected by the second prince, he saw Li Mengji gasp, his face was full of shock, and even the whole person stood up in shock, and even his voice changed, "Your Highness, what you said is true?" ”

The second prince bowed his head faintly, "It's true, my father's Luan drove out of the palace gate to Guangping Houfu, and I can't hide it from people along the way, you may know about it, but what happened in Guangping Hou, only those of us who were present at the time know about it, I'm afraid it won't spread all over Shangjing until tomorrow." ”

"Sir, you say, will the Shushe people be the pearl left behind by my father?"

Otherwise, it is really impossible to explain why the father is so good to a person with a foreign surname.
