CHAPTER XXXVII

They are all active thinkers, and once they start discussing, they quickly hammer out the details. Erlang has a lot of staff around him, and if he doesn't understand something, he consults them. The two of them soon even made a road map.

They haven't studied together for many years, and when they discuss it at the moment, they still feel that the other party is the most tacit person, just discussing where to go and what to do out, and there is a sense of hearty fun that has not been seen for a long time.

When it was Ruyi who left Erlang's house, it was a little late.

The sky is flying, the tired birds are returning to their nests, and the smoke is rising between the inside and the lu, and it is already twilight.

Erlang simply sent Ruyi back in person.

His mansion is close to Xuanyang Gate, not far from Taicheng. Ruyi stopped reading in the car, so she opened the curtains of the car, watched the scenery outside, and occasionally talked to Erlang.

Many dignitaries and dignitaries lived here. Two streets away is Princess Myon's Mansion - Princess Myonfa's Mansion is next to Princess Myon, and the two princesses' mansions occupy an entire street. But Princess Miaofa's concubine Zhou Chu went to Wu County to serve as a guard, and Princess Miaofa liked the beauty of Huiji mountains and rivers, so she left Jiankang with the concubine. Now only Princess Miaoyin's family lives on this street

Princess Miaoyin is elegant by nature - also a little extravagant, and the Son of Heaven married her to a family with a surname of Hanmen, and felt guilty about her. When she got married, she made up for her dowry, and in the past two years, Princess Miaoyin entered the palace to ask the Son of Heaven for any favor, and the Son of Heaven tried to satisfy her as much as possible. Therefore, Princess Miaoyin's mansion was built beautifully and luxuriously.

Ruyi and his entourage passed through the back street, only looking at the strange flowers and stones exposed behind the courtyard wall of her house, and the exquisite layout, they already felt very good. It is much more exquisite than the Taicheng Imperial Garden.

It's a pity that this day is late, Ruyi took a shortcut back to the palace, and walked in the back street of other people, so it was not good to visit.

She was feeling a little sorry, and when she crossed the courtyard wall covered by a bamboo forest, she saw a black and gold-decorated carriage in front of the southwest corner of the princess's mansion in the distance.

Ruyi was a little puzzled in her heart, but she felt that this car was very similar to the one she was riding in Vimosuri.

The prince has the rules of the prince, so the cars in the East Palace are very expensive. Because Vimo is simple by nature, he makes it low-key and simple, and there is almost no decoration on it. But the things used are always made much more delicate and elegant than the ordinary ones, so they are still not difficult to identify.

The car is also elegant and understated, but it seems to be a little more ornate than the one used by Vimore.

But if Vimo came to visit Princess Miaoyin, why did he quietly go through the back door in the evening?

It's not Vimo -- the people who ride in this car must also be dignitaries. Such a time, such an avoidance of people's eyes, is very unusual.

If you don't know it, you will care.

She had the intention to remind Erlang to avoid it, but before she could speak, she saw the curtain open on the car, and a tall young man with slightly raised eyebrows and eyes got out of the car. A little impatient, and a little proud, under the guidance of the servant, he entered the courtyard.

When he was inside, the carriage went back on its way, rounded the corner, and disappeared at the end of the street.

The young man was heroic, very handsome, and a little arrogant and evil on his face, but it was also unforgettable. Although Ruyi hadn't seen him a few times in total, he still recognized him at a glance.

At that time, the second son of King Wuling, the younger brother of the current King of Wuling, General Qingche and Marquis Xiao Maode of Xixiang.

Ruyi felt very messy in his heart, and vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he looked at Erlang. said, "That car belongs to the big brother, right?" ”

Erlang also frowned slightly, obviously very unsightly, and said, "Yes, a while ago, the second sister begged the eldest brother for it, and was reprimanded by Daddy - saying that this is used by the honor guard of the East Palace, how can it be easy to deal with people, and the second sister also lost her temper because of this...... The big brother still gave it to her in the end. I heard that before the gift, all the trespasses were changed, but who knew that it had changed to such a look. ”

Ruyi was silent for a moment - Wei Mo was originally benevolent and cowardly, not to mention that he had been raised under the queen's knees since he was a child, and he relied on Shen Daolin's support a lot, and he was in awe of the two sisters-in-law of Miaoyin. What did Princess Miaoyin ask him for, and how could he refuse? Ruyi's own situation, from the side of the Son of Heaven, in fact, she also grew up under the fence, so she has a relationship with Vimo, and can understand and sympathize with his difficulties.

She frowned and said, "It's just for the second sister...... Why is he using it? ”

She was very jealous of Xiao Maode in her heart - she didn't realize it when she was young, but now that she was getting older, she could feel that Xiao Maode's gaze on her and Liuli was like a beast staring at a pika and the like, which made her extremely disgusted and uncomfortable. Liuli was reckless, and directly overturned the table case in his face, although he was immediately reprimanded and punished by the Son of Heaven, but he finally forced Xiao Maode to restrain himself. Ruyi can't do this, and every time there is a family banquet, he often leaves early under the pretext of being uncomfortable.

She rarely treats people by her appearance, but she really thinks that Xiao Maode looks at wolves and must not be good.

Therefore, once he realized that Xiao Maode had usurped the prince's things, he became vigilant in his heart.

Erlang is not yet the age of a governor - and he has not been stared at by Xiao Maode, where will he notice if Xiao Maode will stare at his two sisters?

He only sensed Ruyi's dislike for Xiao Maode, and felt that it was very good - Xiao Maode was indeed not a good person, and Erlang was only afraid that Ruyi would not be wary of him. Since he became Danyang Yin, he has heard more than once that his cousin is fierce and treacherous, has never learned and has never been skilled, and loves to make friends with outlaws, robbing graves and digging graves, killing people and stealing goods...... It's just a matter of doing no evil.

It's just that such a person, just because he was adopted by the Son of Heaven when he was young, he always felt that he was worthy of being made the prince. Secretly jealous of Vimo. The Son of Heaven treated him kindly, but because the initial seal given to him was not high, he was also resentful...... I don't know where the Son of Heaven will seal him as king in the future, as long as this person is a little aggressive, makes some merits, and even boils up some qualifications, the Son of Heaven will step by step to raise his title.

Although Jiro feels that Vimo's reputation is actually difficult to deserve, he still has respect for Vimo in general. Thinking that this kind of character actually thinks that he is one level higher than Vimo, he really feels disgusted for Vimo.

As for Princess Miaoyin and him, Erlang also vaguely heard some rumors. I didn't take it seriously before, but now I have some faith.

He had expected that Princess Miaoyin would ask for this car, probably just for Xiao Maode to ride—after all, Xiao Maode came before Vimo. And now Wei Mo is the deputy monarch under one person, in charge of state affairs, but Xiao Maode only has a Xixiang Marquis and a light car general. Perhaps in Princess Miaoyin's heart, Xiao Maode is closer than Vimore, so it is unknown that she is unhappy for Xiao Maode.

Therefore, once Princess Miaofa was not there, no one restrained Princess Miaoyin, and Princess Miaoyin started to think carefully as she was smart.

As for the two of them meeting in the evening - it is clear that nothing good is planned.

Erlang couldn't help but think, whether his second sister understood or not, it was a matter of national law and the world, even if she was the daughter of the Son of Heaven who was particularly favored, once the matter was defeated, there would be a catastrophe of death!

He wasn't afraid of it—but he didn't want to get involved. Otherwise, wouldn't it be dangerous to be remembered by these two unscrupulous people who plotted against their own father and younger brother.

After thinking about it, he said, "Maybe they have a deep relationship between sisters and brothers, why do you bother with these idle things." ”
