Chapter 14: Wanru
Zimo took the prince to Xiangguo for a walk at will, and this Xiangguo Mansion is also very large. If it's a stranger, I'm afraid it's going to be, and I'm lost.
"It's boring to walk like this, isn't it?" Zimo asked His Highness.
"It's okay, I'll sit with you." With such a big prime minister's mansion, if you want to go through, you are also a little tired.
Zimo took His Highness to the side where he lived, although Zimo had been away from Xiangguo for five years. But when he returned to the temple, everything was as it had been.
It seems that over the years, I have really been a little ashamed of my father.
His Highness sat in the temple, and the people came up to serve tea. I saw Qin Yu smile and said, "Zimo, you are really the same here as I imagined?" ”
"What's the same?" Zimo didn't understand what His Highness wanted to say?
"Huh...... In your temple, there are a few good swords on hold. Qin Yu stood up and looked at these swords.
"Or else? What treasures does Your Highness think I can collect here? Zimo still said lightly.
"It doesn't matter what I look at? Wouldn't it be nice if it was for others to see? His Royal Highness said with a smile, but he didn't know if Zimo understood the meaning of his words?
"Second Brother ......"
As soon as I heard this, I knew that Miss Wanru came over and called Zimo at the door.
They searched for prestige, only to see Wanru walking over with a delicate wooden box. When Wanru walked into this hall, she realized that His Royal Highness was also here.
She didn't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hadn't left yet, and when she was in the study just now, her sudden appearance was already very rude, and now she was still uneasy in her heart.
When Wanru saw His Royal Highness, the natural smile just now disappeared in an instant.
"Your Highness!" Wanru owes a salute, and she doesn't dare to neglect these courtesies, otherwise she will have to criticize her brother if she knows.
Qin Yu saw that Wan was very restrained when she was like this, so he smiled and said, "Wan Ru sister doesn't need to be polite. ”
Wan became strict at this moment, and she didn't dare to speak casually. And he felt that it was not appropriate to be here at this moment, so he said: "Disturb Your Highness, I will retreat." ”
Wanru turned around and was about to leave, but she heard Qin Yu say, "It's okay, your eldest brother is not here, you don't have to be so restrained!" ”
Hearing His Highness say this, Wanru suddenly felt in her heart that His Highness was not so strange. Wanru looked at His Highness, he ......
He was smiling and looking at himself, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't look so serious. On the contrary, he is much better than his eldest brother. The eldest brother rarely has a smile on his face all day long, after so many years, although Wanru and Beigong Zheng are brother and sister, Beigong Zheng has always been very serious and strict with her sister.
Wanru put the box of snacks on the table, and Qin Yu walked over and opened the box.
"Look at what Sister Wanru has cooked?" Qin Yu reached out and took out a piece of dim sum and put it in his mouth.
"Who said it was made for you to eat?" Zimo spoke unceremoniously, and that was because the relationship between him and His Highness had long been extraordinary.
"Hmmm! Delicious! Qin Yu smiled and took two more pieces of dim sum to eat.
"Your Highness likes sweets?" Zimo was very puzzled, he only knew that His Highness liked to drink wine before, and it could be seen that he liked to eat sweet snacks.
Qin Yu sighed and said, "Since the death of my mother, I have never been able to eat this pastry with a faint osmanthus flavor. ”
Wanru looked at His Highness, and when he said this, there was a faint sadness in his eyes, like a wounded child.
At this time, the servants in the house came in and said that the eldest prince had asked Zimo to come over. Presumably he just came back, Beigong Zheng has something to say, and he has to tell him privately.
So Zimo walked out.
In the blink of an eye, Qin Yu had already eaten those few pieces of dim sum, and the speed was really fast.
Wanru smiled and said, "If Your Highness likes it, I will make some for your servants to bring over." ”
"I came out in a hurry today, and I didn't bring anyone out, like my sister's heart, thank you here!" Qin Yu said so politely.
Wanru walked over, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to His Highness. She was afraid that His Highness would be uncomfortable if she ate too much sweet.
Qin Yu took the cup and said with a smile: "You seem to be very afraid of your eldest brother? ”
Wanru thought for a while and said, "It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that my eldest brother is always very serious like my father on weekdays, and he is even more strict with me." ”
"Don't look at your eldest brother's young age, but he is indeed a bit old-fashioned." Qin Yu commented on her brother in front of Wanru like this, and she didn't shy away from suspicion.
Wanru smiled slightly, she had only been happy now since she had been in for so long. It seems to be less restrained.,It seems that I've been in charge of the Prime Minister's Mansion before.。
"I can't say it's what I said!" Qin Yu said half-jokingly.
Wanru thought to herself: Although he is the crown prince of the Northern Dynasty, he has no arrogance at all when he talks to him. On the contrary, he is more approachable, no wonder the second brother has such a good relationship with His Royal Highness the Prince. It turned out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a good personality.
"My second brother can come back this time, because His Highness brought him back, right?" Wanru felt strange that the second brother had left the Prime Minister's Mansion for five years, and when he came back five years later, he was with His Royal Highness the Prince.
Ahem......
When Qin Yu heard this, he almost choked on the tea.
Wanru looked at His Highness very curiously, why did His Highness react so much when he said that sentence just now.
Qin Yu slowed down a little and said, "What did your brother tell you?" ”
"Nope!" Wanru shook her head.
Qin Yu thought to herself, she was really a little smart.
"Your second brother, if he doesn't want to come back, ten cows won't be able to pull it back, this time he wants to come back." His Highness has always been so amused.
"You have a point." Wanru knows the character of the second brother and likes to be unrestrained.
"But why did my brother come back with His Highness this time?" Wanru was still curious.
"You can't say that in front of anyone else." Qin Yu's expression became serious.
"What do you mean? Don't understand? Wanru was even more puzzled, she was wondering what question His Highness wanted to ask?
"Well, when I have time, I happen to have a book there, and I will let your second brother show it to you when the time comes, and you will naturally know it after reading it." Qin Yu's expression just now softened slightly.
"Oh!" In fact, Wanru doesn't know what His Highness wants to say? But since he didn't want to say it, there must be something unspeakable.
This third lady of the Xiangfu is different from Beigong Zheng, the people of the Beigong family are well versed in the way of power, but she is different, it can be seen from her innocent eyes that she is not involved in the world.
This reminded Qin Yu of five years ago, when Beigong Zheng took Wanru to the Prince's Mansion, Qin Yu saw Miss Wanru for the first time. On that day, Beigong Zheng happened to have something to discuss with the prince, and Wanru sat in the courtyard of the prince's mansion and waited for Beigong Zheng. Unexpectedly, it took more than two hours to discuss that day, and Wanru kept sitting in the courtyard reading a book. Qin Yu had never seen a woman who liked to read so much as she did, and she fell asleep while reading a book in the Prince's Mansion that day. There is no defense at all, after all, that place is the Prince's Mansion and not the Xiangguo Mansion.
……
In this way, Qin Yu had a banquet at Xiangguo's Mansion today, and now that the military silver theft case has ended, for Xiangguo, such an ending is undoubtedly the best.
But Lord Xiangguo still felt palpitations at this time, General Yan has always had revenge, this military silver case, his deliberate plan was destroyed by His Royal Highness the Prince, with General Yan's behavior, it will definitely not be so easy to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince go.
So after the banquet was dispersed in the evening, Lord Xiangguo called Zimo into the study.
"Father, it's so late, what's wrong with me?" Zimo asked.
Lord Xiangguo looked at Zimo, with a worried look on his face at this time, and only after a while did he slowly speak: "Now that the situation in the court is turbulent, you can't rely on the power of the prince too early before you see the situation clearly." This time the prince helped us so much, I always feel that this matter is not so simple, the three generations of the Beigong family are the prime minister, not relying on luck, but in the turbulent political situation, know how to settle down. ”
"Father, Your Highness is also a teacher and friend to me, and we are only gentlemen's friends, and there is no military political interest involved." Zimo bowed and replied.
"If you know how to measure yourself!" After speaking, Lord Xiangguo walked out of the study.
I have to say that Beigong Xiangguo is a delicate person, and in the current situation, he has already seen the forces at both ends of the power struggle, and he does not want to join the forces of either side. Because in his opinion, only by knowing how to observe the heavens at night and obeying the destiny of heaven can he keep peace forever.
