Chapter 138: Encouragement
After sending off the guests, there were four more Yan family father and son left in Heming Xuan.
Yesterday they were busy with the Chinese New Year, and this morning they were busy with guests, and this was their first meeting after the New Year.
"The people around the emperor are not simple, you have to be very careful." Yan Yunpei instructed Yan Jinxuan, and his eyes were full of appreciation and relief when he looked at his son.
He remembered the round-up of the Seventh Prince with Yan Jinxuan last year, as well as the fact that Yan Jinxuan strongly recommended Du Chenghuan as the secretary of the military department. If Yan Jinxuan hadn't made a timely move in these two things, I am afraid that today's Daming Kingdom would already be in a different situation, and he didn't dare to think about that situation, in short, it would definitely be several times worse than the current situation.
Therefore, he secretly admired this son's extraordinary insight into the current situation and the calmness and swiftness he showed in his actions, and he knew that in time this son's ability would surpass him.
This is very gratifying, and of course there will be uneasiness, such as the son's promise to investigate whether there are people installed by the sixth prince around the emperor. This kind of thing can't be missed in the slightest, because if the matter is exposed, even if the emperor opens up, Yan Shichong will not give up, so it is extremely necessary to be careful.
"Don't worry, Daddy, I've already figured out how to investigate, and I won't let anyone notice." Yan Jinxuan said calmly.
Peeling off the cocoon step by step is his strength, not to mention that he already has his own people in the palace.
Yan Yunpei nodded approvingly, and said, "Tomorrow is the third day of the Lunar New Year, you go to the Ninth Prince's side." ”
"I know, I'm ready." Yan Jinxuan replied.
Yan Yunpei hummed and chatted with Yan Jinhao and Yan Jinrui for a few words, and then went back to their rooms.
This is Yan Jinxuan's second visit to Zongwang's Mansion after being away from the capital for more than half a year, this time Yan Jinxuan's mood is surprisingly calm, he knows that the main purpose of his visit this time is not to pay New Year's greetings and visit. It's another thing.
"I heard that your book has been completed, and it is estimated that it will cause a sensation in the government and the opposition as soon as it is printed." The Ninth Prince looked at Yan Jinxuan and said with a smile. He admired his vision back then, and now it seems that among Yan Yunpei's three sons, Yan Jinxuan is indeed the most powerful, and Zhu Qingmei can follow such an outstanding man, and he also feels that he has a light on his face.
"The prince has won the award, and there will definitely be slander at the same time as he wins the honor, and I am mentally prepared." Yan Jinxuan said modestly.
"Really good things must be able to withstand harsh eyes, why care about those malicious slanders," the Nine Princes said with a smile.
Yan Jinxuan also smiled.
Honestly. His impression of the Nine Princes is not bad. Although the Ninth Prince is also as arrogant as other princes, he is a person who knows which path to take is suitable for him, so the emperor does not need to be afraid of him. He never thought about the throne either. It's just that because of this marriage contract, Yan Jinxuan always pays attention to keeping an appropriate distance from him.
"Qingmei will be at the end of this year, and you can prepare for the wedding from the end of the year." The Nine Princes took the initiative to say.
Hearing the word wedding, Yan Jinxuan's face sank slightly, but he quickly covered it up. He nodded quietly.
Then, he said, "Lord Wang." I want to talk to the county lord for a few words, but I don't know if it's convenient. ”
"Of course it's convenient, you haven't seen each other for more than half a year, so you should have seen each other." The Nine Princes said busily. immediately called someone to pass on Zhu Qingmei.
Zhu Qingmei, who was translating the Analects in the boudoir, immediately lifted her skirt and went to the living room when she learned that it was Yan Jinxuan, and she was also ready to use this opportunity to have a good talk with Yan Jinxuan.
Of course, not in front of the Nine Princes.
However, she was also apprehensive. She knew that what she wanted had to be allowed by Yan Jinxuan to have a little hope of getting it, and she thought of her unfriendly attitude towards him over the years. She was always worried that things wouldn't go too well.
But no matter what, she had to give it a try, and after four letters with the second prince of Joseon in the past few months, she became more and more clear about her determination to talk to Yan Jinxuan about it.
Of course, she would not know that the person in charge of delivering the four letters was specially arranged by Yan Jinxuan, and he not only knew the letter of her correspondence with the second prince of Joseon, but also knew the content of the letter.
He always has a means to understand something.
Because of the apprehension in her heart, and even a little ashamed, Zhu Qingmei's expression was a little embarrassed when she looked at Yan Jinxuan.
But she didn't realize until today that Yan Jinxuan was not as annoying as she imagined.
How could her previous self hate his arrival so much, how could she feel impatient even with his greetings, she didn't know, but she vaguely felt that she should have misunderstood and prejudiced him before, and now when she put aside those resistant emotions and looked at him, she realized that he was actually a very good person.
Is it because of the guilt in my heart that I have for him that I have changed like this?," she asked herself.
Of course, she couldn't come up with a definite answer herself.
"Yan Shilang seems to be more calm and mature than last year." She said.
It was the first time she had praised him.
Although there may be a lot of other emotions mixed with her praise, Yan Jinxuan still heard a little sincerity from it, and he said with a smile: "Thank you, the county lord, there have been great changes in the past six months. ”
He wanted to say that she was more elegant and lovely than before, but he was afraid that she would be unhappy, so he had to give a general praise.
Unexpectedly, this time she did not show her displeasure, but smiled and said, "Thank you"
With that, she sat down on a carved sandalwood chair across from him.
The ninth prince looked at Zhu Qingmei, and then at Yan Jinxuan, and felt that the two were getting more and more compatible.
In the past, because Zhu Qingmei was still young, he always felt that the two of them were a bit like adults and children when they were together, but now they seem to be compatible, and his heart is suddenly overjoyed.
"You two talk, I'll go see what the princess is up to." The Nine Princes got up with a smile and walked out.
"County Lord, let's go for a walk in the Liuli Pavilion, and the plum blossoms over there should also bloom." Yan Jinxuan proposed.
The glazed pavilion is a small pavilion in the palace of King Zong, located behind a rockery in the center of the courtyard, and can be reached from the left side of the verandah.
"Okay." Zhu Qingmei said briskly.
Yan Jinxuan walked side by side with her.
As they walked side by side, they had their own agendas, so neither of them spoke.
When he arrived at the Deliuli Pavilion, Yan Jinxuan first said: "County Lord, I heard that you have studied very hard for most of the past six months, and you have also learned Korean, I am really happy for you."
Zhu Qingmei was stunned for a moment, and looked at him a little panicked.
"I heard it after I returned to Beijing, you don't need to panic, it's a good thing." Yan Jinxuan said with a smile.
Zhu Qingmei breathed a sigh of relief. To be continued
