Chapter 41: Clues
Seeing that the birthday gift of the seventeenth prince won the joy of Longyan, the hearts of all the princes sank darkly. Originally, Lao Seventeen enjoyed a good reputation in the army with his iron-blooded wrists, and now he has returned to the court and won the favor in this way. It seems that the position of this crown prince, eighty percent of the emperor is going to be left to the seventeenth prince!
"Ai Fei, you really didn't disappoint this king." Yu Chi Jincheng took Wendi's hand, pinched it gently, and praised it with a smile.
"For the sake of the prince, the concubines naturally do their best." Wen Di hooked his lips and chuckled, lowering his eyes with a well-behaved look, looking at his nose and his nose, but in fact, his eyes were always staring at the piece of Ding Yuebi on Yu Chi Jincheng's waist.
Yu Chi Jincheng chuckled loudly and personally arranged vegetables for her, in the eyes of other princes, how intimate and intimate that action should be.
"Old Seven, you see, our seventeenth brother, who has not touched a leaf in the ten thousand flowers on weekdays, has also begun to linger in the Fang Cong, and the charm of his side concubine is really great!" Yu Chi Fengxuan was nibbling on chicken legs, and said to the Seventh Prince Yu Chi Zhangyue next to him.
Yu Chi Zhangyue raised his eyes and glanced at him, took a chopstick sea cucumber, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and then slowly spoke: "Third brother said this, is he jealous of the beauty of the seventeenth brother?" Or do you envy the talented people around him? ”
Yu Chi Fengxuan sneered: "Seventh brother, let's not play dumb riddles with anyone, the old seventeen, the side concubine, is capable!" If the third brother is the third brother, I will have this blessing......" Speaking of this, he still squinted his eyes and gently scratched his face with his fingers.
Wei Chi Zhangyue sneered: "Third brother, you have to be careful when you speak. Our seventeenth brother's martial arts are so superb, be careful that he listens to it, thinking that you are going to rob him of his beauty! ”
Yu Chi Fengxuan said indifferently: "Brothers are like siblings, women are like clothes, if your third brother and I really want that beauty, then I will exchange other beauties for the same old seventeen, do you say he will allow it?" ”
Before Yu Chi Zhangyue could answer, the wine bottle in front of Yu Chi Fengxuan snapped, split in half, and a grape bead was embedded in the bottle and rolled down on the table. Yu Chi Fengxuan was startled, and suddenly raised his eyes to look at Yu Chi Jincheng opposite.
I saw him holding Wendi's shoulder with one hand, playing with a grape on the table with the other, and his good-looking phoenix eyes looked at him with disdain.
Yu Chi Fengxuan's heart was cold, this Yu Chi Jincheng, his martial arts have improved to such an extent, it seems that if they meet in the future, it is better to provoke him less in words.
After three rounds of drinking, Yu Chi Longcheng left the table first, leaving a group of princes and ministers to drink on their own. Wei Chi Jincheng saw that Wen Di was indeed bored, so he proposed to go home first.
The two of them walked side by side in the imperial garden, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the land was gorgeous.
"Lord Wang, it seems that you have something on your mind?" Wen Di saw that Yu Chi Jincheng had been frowning here, and couldn't help but ask.
When Wei Chi Jincheng heard this, he smiled very unnaturally and denied: "No." ”
Wen Di thought for a while, and then asked: "Is the prince thinking about the affairs of several princes during today's palace banquet?" ”
Yu Chi Jincheng was also concerned about this matter, but when he heard her mention it, he asked sideways: "What is the opinion of the concubine?" ”
Wen Di pursed his lips and said: "Last time, the prince was in danger in the wind pushing Xiaozhu, and the third prince naturally exposed his impure thoughts about the prince. It's just that the concubine thinks that the third prince is not very scheming, and he may not be able to plan such an assassination. ”
When Yu Chi Jincheng heard this, he raised his eyebrows: "The words of the concubine are very true, and this king also feels that with the ability of the third brother, it is really not in line with his nature to be able to arrange this matter so carefully." There must be collaborators behind him! ”
As the two were talking, a gust of night wind blew, and Yu Chi Jincheng's eyes instantly caught a reflection into it, and he immediately held Wen Di's shoulder and told her: "Concubine Ai, wait here for a while, this king will come when he goes!" ”
After saying that, the people rose and fell a few times and disappeared into the garden.
Wen Di stood there a little inexplicably, Yu Chi Jincheng walked in a hurry, obviously there was something unexpected, she was not familiar with life here, so she could only wait here first.
Yu Chi Jincheng followed the direction of the reflection, like a harrier eagle to a clearing in the imperial garden, and saw a figure standing there in the distance, very familiar. He was stunned for a moment, and when he recognized this person's identity, he suddenly felt the waves in his chest, and immediately strode in front of him.
"Lord Wang." The man was dressed in military uniform, and when he saw Wei Chi Jincheng coming over, his face showed joy, and he bowed down to him extremely respectfully, "I haven't seen you for a long time, is the prince okay?" ”
"General Huang!" Wei Chi Jincheng recognized the tall man in front of him, hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hands to help him up, and asked excitedly: "General Huang, haven't you been guarding the border pass, why did you come back?" ”
General Huang was helped up by him, and his chest was also full of mixed feelings, and his eyes followed the moonlight to look deeply at Yu Chi Jincheng: he was much better than two years ago, and his astonishing appearance has always been his pride. and that outstanding leadership ability, which is also first-class among many princes! Such a talent is not in vain for him to teach him back then.
He looked at Wei Chi Jincheng, his eyes were even covered with faint tears, supported by his powerful arms, General Huang felt very relieved! This is the seventeenth prince he has cultivated since he was a child, and he is indeed the dragon and phoenix among people!
Wei Chi Jincheng also looked fixedly at the old general who had gray temples. His figure is no longer as tall as it was when he first saw him, but the heroic spirit of a soldier has always been on him. He still remembers that when he first went to war with him, his cold-blooded and ruthless style used to make him fearful. When General Huang killed the soldier who was about to attack him, he said a word to him, which he still remembers vividly.
"To be merciful to one's enemies is to be cruel to oneself!" After saying that coldly to himself, he continued to turn on his horse, brandishing the spear in his hand and fighting bloodily.
Yu Chi Jincheng thought about this senior who was also a teacher and friend to him, but his eyes were slightly moist.
"Lord Wang, the old minister returned to the dynasty this time, one is to bring the news of the border pass to His Majesty, and the other is to ......" General Huang paused, looked at Yu Chi Jincheng, and gently stroked his shoulder, "Second, let's take a look at how far the prince who has been cultivated since he was a child to a big one!" ”
Wei Chi Jincheng asked with tears in his eyes: "So, is the general still satisfied with it?" ”
General Huang nodded and said, "Satisfied, satisfied!" ”
But it was said that Wen Di was waiting alone in the same place, and from time to time there were palace maids and eunuchs walking by, many people didn't know her, but seeing her extraordinary clothes, they thought that it was the concubine of which palace or the concubine of which prince. He just peeked at her, and continued to hurry.
Just when he was bored, a neutral voice came: "The one in front is Wen Bianfei?" ”
Hearing the flute, he turned his head to look, and there was only an old eunuch who was nearly half a hundred years old, dressed in a bright yellow robe, and holding a pair of jade balls in his hand, which was the current emperor's captain Chi Longcheng.
"The concubine doesn't know that Your Majesty is here, she is offended, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive her sins!" Seeing this, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly knelt down and saluted, not even daring to raise his head.
"Hahahaha." Yu Chi Longcheng seemed to be better than expected, and he didn't blame her, but just smiled faintly, "Why is Concubine Wen walking alone in my imperial garden?" ”
Wen Di was slightly stunned, and his brain spun rapidly.
She naturally knows that in this harem, adult princes are not allowed to wander around at will, and now Wei Chi Jincheng doesn't know what to do, and he was hit by the emperor, if he doesn't find this reason, I'm afraid he will get into trouble.
"Back to the emperor, the concubines felt that the palace banquet was full of men, and they couldn't help but be a little bored, so they came out to walk around, and the result was ...... Lost. Wen Di is already young, and his voice is very crisp, with this shy appearance, he plays the appearance of a little girl to the fullest.
Seeing this, Yu Chi Longcheng remembered her performance at the gift just now, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "In that case, are you willing to accompany this old man, talk, and relieve boredom?" ”
Where did Wen Di dare to say that he was unwilling, so he naturally nodded like pounding garlic and said: "The concubine is naturally willing, and it is the blessing of the concubine to be able to replace the seventeenth prince in front of the car." ”
When Yu Chi Longcheng heard this, he was in a very good mood, and said loudly: "Come on, little girl doesn't have to be restrained, just walk with me." ”
Wen Di lowered his head slightly, followed him by his side, and walked on the path of the Imperial Garden.
"Girl, if I'm not mistaken, you should be the only daughter of Wen Wuji, the former deputy commander of the internal guard, right?" Yu Chi Longcheng didn't beat around the bush, and asked straight to the point.
Wen Di was slightly stunned, nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, Wen Wuji is a family man." ”
"Alas......" Yu Chi Longcheng sighed heavily and said slowly, "Wen Wuji is a good person. It's a pity that I left early. ”
Wen Di heard him mention his father, his nose was sour, and there was a trace of tears flashing in his eyes: "Although my father can't continue to stay by the emperor's side to serve, if there is a spirit in the sky, I heard His Majesty's evaluation of him, I think I will be blind even though I die." ”
"You girl!" Yu Chi Longcheng sneered, shook his head and said, "When he heard Wuji, he was a straight-bellied person before he died, and he always had something to say to me, how did he give birth to such a girl like you who can look at people's eyes and act!" It seems that you are with your mother! ”
Hearing the flute, he was also amused by his words, lowered his head and pursed his lips, and said no more.
Yu Chi Longcheng slowed down, and asked again: "Girl, Wen Wuji's chess skills back then were among the best, even if he was me, he dared to win!" Do you know how to play chess? ”
Wen Di thought for a while, pursed his lips and replied: "Your Majesty, Wen Di has been at home since he was a child, cultivated by his parents, and learned some skills from the girl's family. I'm afraid it's far inferior to my father. ”
When Yu Chi Longcheng heard this, he pursed his lips, shook his head again and again, and said, "You girl, you are dishonest!" I look at you, you are clearly a master, how about a game of chess with me? ”
When Wen Di heard this, he was a little panicked and said: "The emperor forgives the sin, where can the concubines dare to deceive the emperor!" The concubine's chess skills are indeed inferior to her father! If the emperor does not give up, he is willing to give the concubine a chance to learn from His Majesty, and the concubine will be grateful. ”
After hearing this, Yu Chi Longcheng paused, and then laughed and said, "You girl, you can really climb along the pole!" I just praised Wen Wuji's chess skills, and you dare to say that you have learned from me? Okay, good, good, you come with me, let's kill a game now! ”
