Chapter 160: Reaching an Alliance
After Jing Guogong came back from what happened during the day today, he also heard about it, he called Qin Yenan to the study, and the father and son talked all afternoon, and when the latter came out of the study, he stretched out greatly, with a sense of relief on his face.
The next day, he took Wei Yanran to the best restaurant in the capital, Zuixianlou, like no one else, opened the folding fan in his hand, he put it in front of him and fanned it, and then called a junior who ran the hall, "Go, find a good place for you." ”
"Okay, sir, please here." Xiao Er shook the towel in his hand, nodded and led the two to a private room on the third floor, Qin Yenan took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve and threw it to Xiao Er, "Give me a copy of all the signature dishes here." ”
He deliberately made a huge momentum just to attract everyone's attention, and seeing that the effect was good, Qin Yenan hooked the corners of his lips slightly, and stepped into the private room with Wei Yanran.
Isn't it good to make everyone on the outside think that he is a stubborn and ignorant fool? Wouldn't it be much more convenient for him to do things privately?
arranged for Wei Yanran to sit behind the screen, and after a while, there was another knock on the door of the private room, Qin Yenan answered loudly, and the two people outside the door unceremoniously pushed open the door and walked in swaggeringly.
"I said you're too boring, everyone wanted to relax after the exam, but you just ran away, tsk." Kong Jinqiu had a touch of blue and black under his eyes, and poured himself a cup of tea angrily, and then poured it hard.
"It's just, after working so hard, I have to take it easy." Zhang Ziyang lay on the table weakly, looking like an eggplant that had been beaten by frost.
Raising his eyebrows high, Qin Yenan said in a particularly suffocating and unashamed manner, "Do you think I am you, who is willing to look at you bad old men if you have a beautiful lady in the family." ”
There was a hint of ridicule in his eyes, Kong and Zhang rolled their eyes angrily, and then took the topic.
"I said that your relative is really not simple, Yichun Bofu has really been trampled on in the past two days." In this year's imperial examination, they never expected that the emperor would choose a right attendant from the military department to be the deputy examiner, Kong Jinqiu smashed his mouth and shook his head with some envy.
I think his father is still a dignified soldier, why doesn't the emperor want to hand over this fat difference to him.
"Speaking of this, Lord Luo seems to have been recommended by the Hai family." Zhang Ziyang touched his chin and said with a little uncertainty.
Haijia? This was the first time Qin Yenan had heard the news, and his eyes darkened and he turned the topic away.
I thought that today was just a simple meal for the four of them, but I didn't expect the twelve princes to come, Zhang Ziyang coughed heavily, and just then he saw the twelve princes walking in from outside the door, so he choked his throat in a moment of excitement.
"Sister Wei, it's been a long time." He still looked happy on the surface, Wei Yanran nodded with a smile, and hurriedly beckoned him to sit next to Qin Yenan.
When everyone arrived, Qin Yenan ordered Changqing to keep an eye outside, prohibiting outsiders from approaching, and then looked at Kong Jinqiu and Zhang Ziyang with a straight face, "What I talked about with the Twelve Princes may involve the battle for succession in the future, you haven't figured out whether to stay or not." ”
That's right, he admitted that today's dinner was deliberately called Kong Jinqiu and Zhang Ziyang, their families have a lot of weight in the court, if they can win them over, it will be convenient for him to do things in the future, this is a little selfishness of his heart.
However, if they leave now, he will not blame them for anything, after all, this matter is too involved, and one careless will end up in the destruction of the family.
When the Twelve Princes came in, they only concentrated on eating the dishes in the bowl and did not interfere with their decisions. After thinking for a while, the two glanced at each other, and looked at Qin Yenan with a somewhat solemn face.
"Yenan, we ......" The two of them stood up from their seats at the same time, and their cynical faces were slightly apologetic.
Qin Yenan smiled, although he was a little sad in his heart, he still accepted it, these two people were the second general who had been by his side since he broke into the capital, without their company, maybe there would be a lot less loneliness.
Just as he was thinking about how to reply, the two suddenly came to his side and patted him on the shoulder, and Qin Yenan, who was in pain, grinned for a while.
"What nonsense are you talking about, you stinky boy, we are the top three on the list of sons and gentlemen in the capital, how can it be possible if you want to leave us to do big things!"
"That's it, we've been together for more than ten years, and you can't bear to leave us."
How can he say this as if he is a negative man? The corners of his lips twitched suspiciously, Qin Yenan hesitated slightly, but still said what he thought in his heart, "You have to think clearly, this road is full of thorns, and even I can't guarantee that I will be able to protect you." ”
"Hey, okay, we've followed you in the capital for so many years, and we've provoked a lot of people, aren't we still alive and well."
The two of them seemed to have the same feeling and patted Qin Yenan's shoulder at the same time, the latter's face was hideous for a moment, and he quickly stood up and stayed away from the two, "Okay, okay, I know your intentions, sit down quickly." ”
After solving this matter, Qin Yenan told them everything that happened between him and the Twelve Princes, and the two blinked their eyes in a daze, and it took a while to digest it.
Good boy, while they weren't paying attention, they actually hooked up with the prince, they really weren't the first in his heart.
Qin Yenan said with a dark face, you are no longer a good one.
"Your Highness, is there any news from the palace?" Yesterday's incident was so big, he didn't believe that the twelve princes would not know, so it was a simple test to him.
Putting down his chopsticks when he was full of wine and food, he patted his belly with satisfaction, and then said unhurriedly: "The mother concubine intercepted the letters exchanged between the queen and the Qingyang Bofu, and it is very likely that they did what happened to you." ”
Frankly, the man nodded in his heart, and then took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and put it on the table, "This is what the troublemaker picked up yesterday." ”
The Twelve Princes' eyes sank suddenly, he reached out and grabbed it, and then slowly rubbed the sea characters on the jade pendant, "Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter." ”
The Hai family is in great power, and there are many unstable factors in it, not all of them are on the side of Hai Guifei, and Qin Yenan told him about it, otherwise it would be too late for them to get into trouble.
"Your Highness, do you know what kind of person the eldest prince of Qingyang Bofu is?" Wei Yanran, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly said something after their words fell.
