Tong Ye's generation of scholars, grandfather and father have been in the top three of the Jinshi, both in the cabinet chief, Tong Ye is Taihe three years Jinshi, high school champion, Taihe Emperor Qin Yan exceptionally promoted him to the Hanlin Academy of Scholars, from the first grade, intended to focus on the object of training, a few years later and concurrently served as the prince young master, from the second grade, although the prince young master is a false title, but not ordinary people deserve, without the emperor's trust and dependence, can not sit in this position, Yun Tianyang is the official squire, from the second grade, the official position is not small, but lower than the university scholar, And the prestige of the young master of the prince is much higher than that of the servants in the palace or outside the palace, Fu Lianyin is actually not unaware, she is bent on dealing with Yun Kexin and is confused, so that Yun Tianyang will lose face, Yun Kexin has heard the parents of the second room introduce the Tong family in advance, so she naturally knows a thing or two, but she just doesn't say it, look at Fu Lianyin's face.
"Madam, Master Yun is here, don't be rude," Tong Ye glanced at Chen, and reminded him.
"It's all the concubine's fault," Chen understood Tong Ye's eyes, and apologized to Yun Tianyang and Fu Lianyin, "The mouth is too fast, and I inadvertently offended Lord Yun and Mrs. Yun, and I ask for forgiveness." β
Yun Tianyang smiled, saying "a trivial matter", Fu Lianyin replied with a smile, and there was no second word after that.
"By the way, Master Tong, I was so worried about the little girl that I forgot to ask for advice," Yun Tianyang mentioned the matter of the heavy guards outside the Tong Mansion, "Before entering the mansion, I saw the heavy guards outside the door, what was the reason?" β
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, playing with the dogs in the mansion," Tong Ye said with his hands in his fists, "There are Janissaries outside the mansion, and we will escort the prince back to the palace later." β
"What? His Royal Highness the Prince?! Yun Tianyang's eyes widened, stood up, and blamed himself in shame, "Weichen is guilty, I didn't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was here, Master Tong, please take me to meet His Highness quickly, this official wants to apologize." β
As he was talking, he only heard the sound of laughter from far and near, and then, the two of them entered the main hall from the back hall, it was really Prince Taihe and Tong Zhichen, the only son of the Tong family, who was a little surprised when they saw Yun Kexin, and before they could ask, Yun Tianyang had already pulled Fu Lianyin and Yun Kexin to kneel down and said:
"Yun Tianyang, the servant of the Ministry of Micro Ministers, as well as Fu Lianyin and the little girl Yun Kexin, knock to see the prince, His Royal Highness Wanfu Jin'an."
"The concubine knocks on the prince," Fu Lianyin smiled slightly, and kowtowed modestly, "The prince is blessed." β
"Knock on the prince......" Yun Kexin lowered her head and said softly.
"Calm down," the prince glanced at the three of them expressionlessly, and when the three of them got up, he turned his gaze on Yun Kexin again, "Miss Seven, how did you appear in the Tong Mansion?" β
"Returning to the prince," Yun Kexin said with some embarrassment, "The little girl went to the house with her father to visit Master Tong and worship Master Tong as her teacher. β
"Miss Seven, you raise your head and speak, don't be nervous." Tong Zhichen stood behind Qin Ke and looked at Yun Kexin with a faint appreciation and said.
"Prince Xie, Prince Xie." Yun Kexin said and slowly raised her head.
Qin Ke and Tong Zhichen were both stunned by Yun Kexin's surprise tonight - slightly tilted their heads, their faces were pink, their small lips were smiling, and their smart and lively eyes blinked lightly as if they could speak.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Young Master Tong," Yun Tianyang didn't notice the strange expressions of the three of them, and went straight to the point, "Weichen only learned before dusk that the little girl inadvertently offended His Royal Highness and Young Master Tong today, and today I came to the mansion to bring the seventh girl to visit the famous teacher, and second, I came to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Young Master Tong for guilt. β
"It's all trivial, it's not a crime, but this Seventh Lady, her small mouth is really as powerful as a blade." Qin Ke looked at Yun Kexin, with a faint smile in the corner of his eyes, and said as if praising and derogatory.
When Yun Tianyang heard this, he became nervous, and hurriedly lowered his head and said: "The prince is angry, the little girl is spoiled by Weichen at home on weekdays, and she is straight to everyone, she doesn't know how to turn around, and the minister is disobedient, please alsoββ"
Before he finished speaking, he gave Qin Ke a gesture to cut it off, and said with a little impatience in his tone: "This prince has already explained that there is nothing wrong, why is Lord Yun still so stubborn." β
Yun Tianyang suddenly felt relieved in his heart, raised his head and smiled: "Thank you prince." β
After Chen saluted Qin Ke, he asked him to sit down and speak, he excused himself and said to Yun Kexin:
"Miss Seven, you come to the backyard with His Royal Highness," he glanced at Tong Zhichen again, and said mysteriously, "You come too, and the rest of the people don't have to follow." β
Yun Kexin glanced up at Yun Tianyang, meaning to ask if he agreed, Yun Tianyang nodded. So, Yun Kexin went to the backyard with the two.
Standing in the garden full of flowers, Qin Ke took out the string of colorful glass beads from his arms and handed it to Yun Kexin:
"This ...... Give it back to you. β
Yun Kexin was stunned: "Prince, didn't Tong Gongzi say that this string of colorful glass beads is very important to you?" β
"That's right," Qin Ke took a deep breath, looked into the distance, and said softly, "This prince wanted to give it to Zhen'er, but then Tong Zhichen told me that if Zhen'er knew that I snatched it from a girl, she would definitely not like it, and she would blame me. β
"But you said it's important......" Yun Kexin didn't reach out to take it, but there was a touch of sincerity between her words and deeds.
"Take it," Tong Zhichen took it for Yun Kexin and put it in her hand in person, with a smile on his eyebrows, "How can our prince be a person who takes advantage of it, if it weren't for the sudden incident at that time, I would definitely convince him." β
Yun Kexin looked at Tong Zhichen at night, a glimmer of light flashed in her bright starry eyes, like a meteor quietly passing through the quiet night sky, dazzling, beautiful, and pleasing to the eye.
Was it he who convinced the prince? The prince was able to say that he was moved? It can be seen that the relationship between the two.
"Since the little woman has given this thing away, there is no reason to take it back," Yun Kexin insisted on pushing back Tong Zhichen's hand, and put the colorful glass beads back into the prince's hand, and said softly and firmly, "Prince, you have the right to treat this as the Zhen'er girl that the little woman gave to you, although I haven't seen her, but she can make the prince care so much, she must be a good girl." β
"I really didn't expect you to be so good at talking," Qin Ke looked at Yun Kexin, smiled slightly, and said with a smile, "I thought you would only 'scold', so in this way, you can take one thing from this prince as a gift." β
Yun Kexin was a little flattered and said: "Prince, the little woman's gift of colorful glass beads is really her intention, not a transaction, how can you take the opportunity to ask for other people's things, no." β
Tong Zhichen just looked at it quietly and nodded with a smile, thinking, I really didn't mistake this little girl.
"This prince didn't say it was a deal," Qin Ke looked at him and said very seriously, "You are out of your heart for Zhen'er, I am out of your gratitude, and the gift should be returned, and this gift can be used as a token, if you need help in the future, you can use the token as a basis to enter the palace." β
Yun Kexin pondered for a moment, looked at the prince all over his body, and finally stopped his gaze on the thumb of his left hand, then raised his head and smiled: "Forgive the little girl for being rude, if the prince doesn't mind, can you give me the white jade wrench on your finger." β
Qin Ke and Tong Zhichen were both stunned, and they stood for a long time, Yun Kexin thought that she had inadvertently offended the two "wronged bosses" in front of her, and hurriedly apologized:
"Prince, the little woman knows that any item worn on your body is priceless, and it is offensive to choose any one, so she boldly chose the most central one, but there is no greed at all, Prince Mingjian, if you think this thing is valuable, then please give back the gift, the little woman is grateful."
Yun Kexin said sentence after sentence like a cannonball, and finally finished speaking, her heart suddenly jumped non-stop, I don't know how the situation will develop later, but unexpectedly, there was a sudden laughter from the prince and Tong Zhichen in her ears, and Yun Kexin looked up in surprise.
"The seventh miss of the Yun family is really powerful," the prince stopped laughing, and as he spoke, he raised the hand with the wrench and stretched it out in front of Yun Kexin, and said in an appreciative tone, "Not only is the small mouth powerful, but the eyes are also poisonous, this wrench was given to me by the Queen Mother's grandmother when I was born, and I kept it until I was seven years old and began to wear it, so far, I have never left this prince." β
Yun Kexin's eyes widened in surprise, and she said embarrassedly: "The prince asks for the little girl's unintentional mistake, I don't know that this is a gift from the queen mother, a sin." β
Qin Ke smiled and took off the wrench and handed it to Yun Kexin, but Tong Zhichen exclaimed:
"Your Highness, you didn't intend to give this wrench toβ"
The unfinished words were shocked back by Qin Ke's sharp gaze, knowing Qin Ke's temperament, he didn't do much to dissuade him, and instead helped out:
"Miss Seven, since the prince intends to give you personal things, it means that this is within the range of what he can accept, so you must not refuse, accept it, twisting Nico is not your character."
Yun Kexin was stunned: It's not her character? What is her personality? This boy spoke so interestingly, he had only met twice, as if they had known each other for two years.
But this time she didn't hesitate any longer, and took the white jade wrench in Qin Ke's hand generously, and said with a smile:
"The little woman thanked the prince for his return gift, and she will definitely keep it properly and there will be no mistakes."
"Just let it be," the prince also smiled heartily, "As long as you don't throw it away at will, and then," Qin Ke hesitated for a moment and said, "This prince has only one request, if this prince needs you to bring a message to Zhen'er in the future, or ask you to go with me, I hope the seventh girl will not shirk." β
Yun Kexin looked at the white jade wrench in her palm that was crystal clear under the moonlight, and nodded cautiously.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Miss Seven, let's go back quickly," Tong Zhichen found that someone was probing his brain here, his heart was unhappy, and he was worried, urging, "If you come out for too long, my father and mother will be suspicious." β
Qin Ke and Yun Kexin both agreed, and returned to the main hall with Tong Zhichen.
"Lord Tong, Mrs. Tong, this prince has been disturbing the palace for a long time, and now he is driving back to the palace."
"Congratulations to the Prince." Tong Ye and the others all knelt down and said in unison.
Then everyone sent the prince to the door, saw him get into the carriage, the Praetorian Guards drove towards the road to the palace, Yun Tianyang said goodbye to Tong Ye's family, saying that Yun Kexin would be sent to the house to be taught in the near future, Tong Ye smiled and said that there was no problem, and Tong Zhichen As long as he thought of seeing Yun Kexin often in the future, his heart was sweet, because he had one more companion.
On the way back, the suspicious Fu Lianyin wanted to ask Yun Kexin what she said when she went to the backyard several times, and hoped that Yun Tianyang would take the initiative to ask, but he didn't care about it again, so he had to force down the ghost fetus in his heart. R1152
