116 Ambition
Di Huan and Hu Yanhe were taken by Chen Yuan to the seat next to the head, but Xue Rou waved his hand and refused to be led by the little eunuch beside him, and walked in the direction where Si Hou Yu was. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
When Si Hou Yu saw Xue Rou coming, a smile suddenly appeared on his old face.
"I haven't seen him for a few days, and Xiangye still looks energetic." Xue Rou said with a light smile.
Si Hou Yu smiled even more when he heard this, and said in an easy-going tone: "Say nice things at a young age, no wonder your Ning family's business can be prosperous, by the way, the old man heard that you were injured at the last palace banquet, and he wanted to visit your house for fear of disturbing your tranquility, how is your injury now?" ”
Xue Rou waved her hand, "Thank you Xiangye for your concern, the injuries on my body are no longer serious, and I only need to recuperate for a few more days to completely heal." ”
Sihou Yu was relieved when he heard this, he looked up at King Jing and Hu Yanhe, who had already entered the table, and then looked at Qin Yan, who was tall and tall beside Xue Rou, knowing that this Ning Ziqing was afraid that he was also vigilant because of his injury last time, and even came to the palace with his entourage, but the other party was a royal family after all, and some things could not be prevented.
So he still whispered: "Your Majesty today in the palace banquet, although nominally for the Beirong royal family to catch the wind, but in fact there are other things, the old man originally thought that this time only the Beirong people and officials in the court and the central government will come to the banquet, but I don't want Your Majesty to even call you into the palace, the old man heard that the Beirong Chaoyang princess has an arrogant temperament, the last time you and the thirteenth prince hurt her, the old man is afraid that she will be embarrassed by the last thing at the banquet, so you have to be careful, if you really can't do it, you will sit with the old man, If you encounter something, the old man can also resist one or two for you. ”
Xue Rou looked at the unpretentious concern on Sihou Yu's face, remembered the last time they had a conversation in the imperial garden, and knew that the half-hundred-year-old man in front of him really cared for her as a junior, Xue Rou couldn't help but have some warm colors in her eyes and said with a light smile: "Xiangye don't have to worry, although Huyan Yiling is domineering, but Ziqing is not a good person, if she really does too much today, presumably His Majesty Emperor Zhou will not stand idly by, besides, King Jing of Beirong is the one who is the main person this time, with him, Huyan Yiling will not be able to make any waves." ”
Sihou Yu looked at Di Huan, whose eyes were cold, and saw that although Hu Yanhe's face was ugly, he was still afraid of King Jing's power, and he was a little relieved in his heart, "It's good that you know it yourself." ”
Yuan Wenqian, who was sitting not far away, saw Si Hou Yu and Xue Rou talking happily, and then heard the slightly flattering voice of the second prince in his ear, his expression showed a touch of impatience, and he suddenly stood up with a soft collapse.
"Lord Yuan?" Huo Jingrui was surprised.
Yuan Wenqian said lightly: "The old man has something to discuss with the right minister, and the second prince can do it himself." ”
After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Huo Jingrui to speak, he turned around and walked directly in the direction where Xue Rou and the others were, with a hint of impatience in his expression...... It was really the eagerness of the second prince during this period of time that made him even more vigilant, whenever Huo Jingrui mentioned Huo Jingqing beside him, or took care of him with a courtesy of his juniors, the words spoken by the dark blue figure that day would continue to appear in his ears, as well as the note he handed to himself that surprised him.
Yuan Wenqian may not have fully believed the words of the stranger that day, but he had doubts in his heart, but it was impossible for him to trust the second prince wholeheartedly.
Originally, Yuan Wenqian said that he was looking for Si Hou Yu to have something to do just to find an excuse to leave Huo Jingrui, so as not to let him see that something was wrong, but when he walked to Si Hou Yu and the two of them and heard the words of him and Xue Rou chatting, his mind was a little surprised.
The words that the two of them talked about were actually the government and the people's livelihood, and he was very surprised by what the gentle young man in front of him said, he could often point out the pros and cons of Si Hou Yu's words, and he could also make suggestions. Yuan Wenqian was originally an important minister of the imperial court and a veteran of the two dynasties, and he appreciated talented people the most, and after listening to it for a while, he simply sat next to the two, and after Sihou Yu introduced him, he also saw that Hunting Xinxi participated in the conversation between the two.
Xue Rou had already investigated Yuan Wenqian's temperament and preferences, and while talking to the two, he deliberately led the topic to what Yuan Wenqian was good at, and this time it was even more right for Yuan Wenqian's appetite.
Huo Jingrui looked at Yuan Wenqian, who was whispering to Ning Ziqing in the distance, his eyes were full of gloom, since Huo Jingqing died on the West Mountain that day, he thought that he was already the most respectful and filial to Yuan Wenqian, even if he was not as thoughtful as Huo Jingqing when he was alive, but I don't know why, Yuan Wenqian, the old man, not only has been lukewarm to him, and has not mentioned the words of support for him, but he is even worse than when Huo Jingqing was there before.
At that time, Huo Jingqing was close to him, and in addition to his intention to curry favor, Yuan Wenqian was also very friendly to him, and it could even be said that he treated him as his own nephew, but now that Huo Jingqing is dead, according to his thoughts, Yuan Wenqian should transfer his feelings for Huo Jingqing to him, plus there are not many adult princes left in the court, and the Yuan family will lean towards him sooner or later, but why does he feel that Yuan Wenqian is alienated from him?
"Could it be that the matter of Xishan was known by Yuan Wenqian that day?"
Huo Jingrui's expression was sudden, and his mind turned sharply, but for a moment, he secretly shook his head and directly denied it.
Let's not mention that he did all the hands and tails clean before going to Xishan that day, and it was impossible to leave any handle for Yuan Wenqian to know, just say that if Yuan Wenqian really knew that Huo Jingqing died in his hands, with the temperament of the Yuan family, I am afraid that he would have been inseparable from him and sued Emperor Zhengde directly, how could he let him enter and leave the Yuan family freely to follow Yuan Wenqian, and now let him be safe here?
Huo Jingrui thought about it for a long time, and he could only attribute Yuan Wenqian's indifference to him to his sadness about Huo Jingqing's death, presumably he would get better in a few days, but when he saw the white-clothed young man who had a good conversation with Hou Yu and Yuan Wenqian, he couldn't help but move in his heart.
Now Huo Jingyun Huo Jingqing is dead, Huo Jingling is still in prison, and although the third prince has not participated in the affairs of Xishan, he knows that his father has been completely wary of Huo Jingchen, and Huo Jingchen is now obedient to him, and now the only person who can fight against him in the court is Huo Jingli, the seventh prince who is far away in the Northwest Army, and there is no one else, it is time for him to find an opportunity to contact the Ning family, after all, without the imperial treasury, if he can pull the Ning family by his side, his chances of success in the future can be ten percent.
Thinking of this, Huo Jingrui's eyes were hot, and the ambition he had been hiding in his heart was also revealed...... (To be continued.) )
