Chapter 3: Cui Yu is unfathomable
"Your Highness, Mr. Cui asked the servant to return, saying that His Majesty asked Mr. Xià to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to pay a visit." The eunuch left Cui Yu and came to the East Palace, kneeling on the ground and replying.
Hearing this, the prince frowned slightly, his face was still cold, and he only paused for a moment before speaking.
"Did Cui Yu tell you to say that?"
The eunuch listened to the prince's tone, and couldn't figure out what was wrong with it, so he bowed vigorously and said 'yes' in a trembling voice.
When the prince saw this, he also knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he sent the eunuch down. It's just that the eunuch walked out of the East Palace with his front foot, and a man in white walked out of the back room with his back foot.
The man has a gentle face and is a rare beautiful man. is different from the prince's extravagance, and he looks at the elegance of poetry and books.
"This Cui Yu is a little interesting, and it's really unpredictable." The prince was not surprised when he saw the man in white, but said with a chuckle.
Hearing this, the man in white touched his nose and replied thoughtfully, "How does he know that Xiao Dezi is His Royal Highness's person." But Cui Yu is the person His Majesty is looking for, perhaps"
"Probably not, since he asked Xiao Dezi to pass a message to me, he is showing me loyalty. It's just that this person's mind is hard to guess, and he can't find out any details. In this way, Qi Sheng, you go to the Xiaoyao Pavilion to see who this Cui Yu is. ”
When the prince said this, he was even more conflicted in his heart, and he was even more curious about Cui Yu, thinking about Cui Yu's words and deeds, but he didn't see anything unusual.
"Prince, my father-in-law asks to see you." The prince was thinking about it when a little eunuch suddenly knelt at the door.
Gonggong has always been by the emperor's side, and Gonggong is generally only used when he transmits the decree. As soon as the prince heard that it was Gonggong Qi coming, he immediately gave Qi Sheng a look, and Qi Sheng retreated to the back.
"Your Highness, the slave came to pass on the emperor's message." Father-in-law didn't talk nonsense when he first arrived, and said respectfully.
When the prince saw that his father-in-law did not say a word of greeting, he did not say a word, and knelt directly on the ground to receive the order.
"Cui Yu of Xiaoyao Pavilion, both talent and learning, one in a million, Nai first arrived in the capital, and did not understand the customs in Beijing. Fortunately, there is a tea tasting meeting in Wanhualou, and the prince is now ordered to appreciate one or two for him, and he admires this. ”
"Thank you, Father."
The prince got up after receiving the decree, and the prince immediately saluted the prince after reading the decree.
"Your Highness, if it's okay, the slave will retreat, and the emperor will still be waiting."
Gonggong said respectfully and turned his head to leave, but when he was about to walk out, he paused and looked back with some hesitation, "The slave looked at Mr. Cui today when he went out, his face was not very good, I am afraid that he has encountered something difficult." The slave originally wanted to go with him to take a look, but the emperor called the slave back to deliver the decree. After speaking, Father-in-law Qi quickly patted his mouth again, "You see, I'm afraid these two things have nothing to do with each other, it's the slave who talks too much." ”
And after Gonggong Gong Gong left, Qi Sheng walked out and said with a solemn face, "What does Gonggong mean is that this holy decree was asked for by Cui Yu?" ”
"It seems that Cui Yu made a deal with his father, and when he went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he must have done things for his father." The prince sneered, then patted Qi Sheng on the shoulder, looked at him in a trance, and continued, "Father-in-law will not say these words for no reason. It seems that if you are going to go to Xiaoyao Pavilion as much as possible, you must investigate and deal with Cui Yu's details. ”
The prince tried hard to guess Cui Yu's details, and Cui Yu was rolling in the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time to plead.
"Dad, as long as you can go and see the emperor, you will be the hero of our Cui family. The burden of the glorious lintel weighs on you. ”
Cui Yu was looking at Cui Heng with a sincere face at this time, and he was almost kneeling down for Cui Heng, while Cui Heng was sitting opposite Cui Yu, peeling peanuts in his hands, and eating happily.
"How is it possible, I will never bow my head to the faint king. And what does this have to do with the glorious lintel, don't talk nonsense. ”
"Dad, you have to understand, I'm doing this for our big plan."
Cui Yu said bitterly, and looked at Cui Heng with a blank eye. When Cui Heng heard this, he finally stopped peeling peanuts and looked at Cui Yu with some curiosity.
As soon as Cui Yu saw that there was a door, he hurriedly added, "Look, you stabilize the emperor first, let's cooperate with the outside world, and it is only a matter of time before the crown prince inherits the unification." After speaking, looking at Cui Heng thinking, he changed his words, and then said, "You are now for the overall situation, you are enduring humiliation, for the future of our Cui family, your sacrifice now is the glory of the future." ”
Hearing this, Cui Heng couldn't help but chuckle, then wiped his hands, looked at Cui Yu, patted Cui Yu's shoulder, and said earnestly, "Daughter, seeing you work so hard, my father is very pleased." In the future, it will be like this, don't worry about Dad, you just let it go. Oh, by the way, you don't have to clean it up. Tianhui probably didn't welcome me to stay there. ”
After Cui Heng finished speaking, he swaggered out, completely forgetting that Cui Yu came to visit as a guest this time. And Cui Yu looked at Cui Heng's back, and suddenly had a feeling of wanting to cry without tears, cleaning up the soft words, except for the emperor, she had never told others. Thinking about it like this, I always feel like I was betrayed by my father and the emperor.
A few days later
It was the day when the tea tasting party was held in Wanhualou, Cui Yu did not enter the palace, and came to Wanhualou early in the morning. It's not that Cui Yu doesn't understand etiquette, but for the palace with a lot of rules, Cui Yu is resistant in his heart, so the prince has not summoned her in addition to asking someone to deliver news to him these days, Cui Yu naturally can't enter the palace without entering the palace.
However, Cui Yu has never entered Wanhualou, and he doesn't know where the prince should sit, so he is afraid of missing the prince, so he has been waiting at the door. So even on a special day like today, the door of Wanhualou is not too crowded. And Cui Yu was also self-satisfied, and after waiting for a long time, he caught an ant and let it run around in his hands, and he had a good time.
"Sir, are you waiting for me?"
Cui Yu was having fun, and suddenly heard the prince's voice, so he hurriedly put the ant in his hand back in its place, "The house is a little stuffy, so I want to come out to breathe the wind, so I can welcome the prince." Of course, Cui Yu wouldn't tell the prince, he really came out to wait because he couldn't find a seat, so he casually made an excuse.
When the prince heard Cui Yu say this, he didn't feel anything wrong, but just nodded and replied, "Mr. doesn't have to be polite, this time I am a private interview with Weifu, and I am not as a prince, Mr. can be casual." After speaking, the prince stretched out his hand again and made a gesture of please.
Cui Yu heard the prince say this, so naturally it was difficult to say anything else, so he nodded and walked in. However, after Cui Yu walked in, the prince's face suddenly changed, and he looked back at the place where Cui Yu had put the ants before. The ants were long gone, but the prince was still staring at the place, as if thinking about something important.
In fact, the prince saw Cui Yu staring at the ants in his hand from a distance, and it felt like all the ants in his hands, allowing him to play with them as he wanted, which was unpredictable. It's just that the more he can't figure it out, the more the prince wants to understand. The more unapproachable the characters, the more he wanted to conquer.
In this regard, Cui Yu said that she was very innocent, she was really just bored and playing with ants
