Chapter 13: Zimo returns home
Prince's Mansion.
Qin Yu was in the palace of the Prince's Mansion, tasting fine wine. Zimo came back from outside the hall, Qin Yu only saw clearly that Zimo had several wounds on his body at this time, it was too dark at night when he came back from completing the task last night, and now it seems that those wounds are still oozing blood.
"The situation in the dungeon was tricky last night?" Qin Yu asked with concern.
"After a trick with the ghost, this matter is finally settled." Zimo said lightly.
"Then it doesn't matter if you want this wound, please show it to you?" Qin Yu said with a smile.
Zimo glanced at His Royal Highness and didn't answer his words, maybe he felt that he had just experienced such a life-and-death thing, and this little injury was nothing?
"Ugh!" Qin Yu saw Zimo like this, and it didn't seem good to let him go back to Xiangguo Mansion directly with an injury like this, but there was another problem that he was quite curious...... That's ......
Qin Yu put down the wine bottle in his hand, walked in front of Zimo, looked at Zimo with sharp eyes, and then came to the following conclusion: "You seem to be quite energetic, which proves that you didn't fight with the ghost last night, but learned a few tricks." You still have fragments of this leaf on you, proof that you fought in the woods last night. Qin Yu pressed the pulse in Zimo's hand: "The pulse beats rapidly and powerfully, it seems that the ghost is a master, in other words, did you win last night?" ”
Zimo immediately gave him a look and let him experience it for himself. Then he turned and walked out of the main hall.
Hehe......
"Wait...... Where are you going now? Qin Yu shouted.
"Go home!" Zimo still spoke in that tone, faintly, without more expression.
"Well, I know you've always been cool, and you leave every time you can't say a few words, but can you wait until I'm done with this glass of wine and we'll go together?" Qin Yu said helplessly.
At this time, Zimo had already walked out of the gate.
Xiangguo Mansion, Zimo looked at this prestigious mansion, and the plaque 'Xiangguo Mansion' was hung high at the door of Xiangguo Mansion. It's been five years, and it's been five years since I went out to learn swords last time.
Time flies so fast, and in the past five years, I don't know how my father is now? Big brothers, they're okay.
The subordinate standing at the door recognized Zimo, stepped forward with a joyful smile, and said, "The second son is finally back, and the little one will go in and report it!" ”
The prince also arrived at Xiangguo's mansion at this time, and the two of them entered Xiangguo's mansion together. But the people in the house didn't know the prince, so they only regarded him as a distinguished guest brought home by the second son.
Zimo entered the mansion and asked, "Where is my father?" ”
"Lord Xiangguo went to the early court today, and he hasn't returned home yet!" The man bowed his head and replied.
"Where's the big brother?" Zimo asked.
"The eldest prince followed the adults to the morning court, but the eldest prince has already returned, and now he must be in the study." The next person replied.
"It seems that your relationship with your eldest brother is quite good." Qin Yu said with a smile, because as soon as Zimo came back, he looked for his eldest brother in addition to his father, so the relationship between the eldest prince of Xiangfu and Zimo was naturally not bad.
The eldest son of Xiangguofu and Zimo were not born to the same lady, although this is the case, but the character and knowledge of the eldest son of Xiangguofu are all first-class and good, and they have also taken good care of Zimo since childhood, so their brotherly relationship is naturally good.
seems to be an indifferent sentence, you can feel that Qin Yu's relationship with other brothers as a prince is naturally not so good, after all, as a prince, many people regard him as a thorn in the side. Therefore, in the royal family, people must learn to accept the reality of this indifference to family affection.
They walked through the garden on the left before entering the study. Generally, when the eldest prince is in the study, the subordinates dare not go in and disturb him, so ......
Zimo could only go in and find him by himself.
Still as usual, Zimo knocked on the door three times, but he didn't expect Beigong Zheng to open the door soon, Beigong Zheng was wearing a blue dress embroidered with noble patterns, the neckline of the costume was light ink, and he combed his hair in a high bun to set off his tall figure.
When he saw Zimo, there was a look of surprise in his eyes.
"You! I finally know it's back! In the past few years, my father doesn't know how many people he has sent out to look for you, but there is no news of you? Beigong Zheng said earnestly, his expression was slightly serious.
"Trouble my father and eldest brother!" Zimo said slightly apologetically.
At this time, Qin Yu also walked over, and Beigong Zheng was even more surprised to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at this time.
"I don't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has landed in the mansion, and he has missed the distance!" Beigong Zheng Shili said.
"You're welcome! This time I came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, I didn't want to alarm others, so I asked the eldest prince to keep it secret. Qin Yu said with a smile.
"Your Highness, please!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was invited into the study to sit down, but at this time his heart was not calm.
Beigong Zheng thought to himself: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never visited the Xiangguo Mansion, so this time, the sudden arrival of the Prince. What is the reason for this?
Qin Yu walked into the study, although this study did not have the style of the study of the Prince's Mansion, but it looked elegant.
Qin Yu walked a few steps in the study, looking at the furnishings and scrolls in the study. But Beigong Zheng spoke first.
"This military silver theft case has been closed, thanks to His Royal Highness's help, the Beigong family was able to escape, Ziheng is here to thank His Highness for his great kindness on behalf of the Beigong family!" Beigong Zheng Shili said.
"The eldest prince doesn't have to be polite, in fact, it's not all my credit this time, if it weren't for Zimo's help, this time the military silver would not be so easy to rob!" Qin Yu said with a smile while looking at Zimo.
Beigong Zheng turned his head to look at Zimo at this time, although he didn't speak, but he knew all this in his heart, it turned out that Zimo had already returned to the Northern Dynasty, but this matter was hidden from himself and his father, Zimo followed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince directly as soon as he returned to the Northern Dynasty, and even his closest relatives didn't know that he was back, and this military silver theft almost wiped out the Beigong family, in this case, Zimo still didn't go home, presumably ......
At this moment, a pleasant voice came in......
"Second brother, I knew it was you who came back?" A woman in a purple gauze dress approached.
She ran to the door of the study in small steps, looked at Zimo, and smiled faintly. This woman looks like she is more than seventeen or eighteen years old, with a graceful posture, beautiful and elegant, graceful, and a soft beauty.
"Be tactful, don't be rude!" Seeing that the third lady ran in recklessly, Beigong Zheng said solemnly.
Wanru looked inside the study, in addition to the eldest brother and the second brother, there was also a person sitting inside.
Who is this? Wanru couldn't think of it for a while, but felt a little familiar. Wanru thought in her head, trying to recall something, but she couldn't remember anything.
"Don't come here to greet Your Highness!" Beigong Zheng looked at Wanru and said.
Your Highness?! Wan only reacted at this time, it turned out that this person was His Royal Highness the Prince, Gongzi Yu, no wonder there was a sense of familiarity just now.
Qin Yu said with a smile: "In the Book of Poetry "Zheng Feng", it is said that 'Qingyang is graceful, graceful is like Qingyang', and the name of Wanru sister is like its name, and it is really as clear and beautiful as it is said in this Book of Poetry. I haven't seen you for a few years, but I'm afraid that Sister Wanru won't remember me for a long time, right? ”
Wanru was surprised, I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to remember her, I remember that a few years ago, she also followed her brother and saw His Royal Highness in the Prince's Mansion, and she didn't have much impression, but I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to remember her, which really makes people feel that His Royal Highness's memory is really good.
"I've seen Your Highness!" Wanru bowed and said.
"Sister Wanru doesn't have to be polite!" Qin Yu looked at Wanru and said.
Beigong Zheng looked at Wanru and said with a serious face: "Your Highness's visit today, there is a lot of inconvenience, you step back first, and then gather with your second brother later." ”
"Yes!" Wanru was unhappy in her heart, because every time the eldest brother was always so serious and always so strict with her, but she also had to listen to the eldest brother's words, after all, except for her father in the family here, no one dared to disobey what the eldest brother said in the house.
So Wanru slowly walked to Zimo's side and whispered in his ear: "I made you a delicious snack, you will come over later!" ”
Zimo nodded lightly and smiled slightly. In this Xiangguo Mansion, Wanru's feelings for the second brother are the best. Usually if there is any grievance, I am always the first to tell Zimo. So Wanru has long been used to all this, but Zimo suddenly left the Xiangfu five years ago.
This made Wanru feel as if there was one less person around her who could tell the truth, and now Zimo is back. Wanru must have been very happy.
Wanru walked out after speaking, and went down to prepare food.
Beigong Zheng saw Wanru go out, and then said: "It's just that I don't know something, since Your Highness has traced the whereabouts of Junyin this time, why did you give this credit to General Yan, instead of taking this opportunity to suppress the power of the general's party?" ”
I have to say that Beigong Zheng, who everyone is optimistic about and will inherit the phase in the future, does have a unique political vision and political vision.
Beigong Zheng and Zimo are both the sons of Xiangguo, but the ambitions of the two are different, and their interests and hobbies are different.
And Zimo doesn't like political power struggles very much, he likes to be unrestrained, it is impossible for him to follow the text, and practicing martial arts is quite suitable for him, so he will hide from his father and eldest brother and go out to practice swords alone.
But in the past few years, it has not been a waste of time, and he has finally learned something, and his swordsmanship is on par with the ghosts under General Yan, or he can surpass a master like ghosts.
Although the interests of the two are different, the relationship between the brothers is also quite good.
Qin Yu looked at Beigong Zheng, his face was still worried at this time, and he had to say that this military silver theft case really exhausted Xiangguo's people.
"Because I'm waiting for an opportunity? An opportunity that is enough to ruin them all at once? Qin Yu said lightly, as if his thoughts were looking back again, looking back on what General Yan had done over the years.
"Could it be that they ......" Beigong Zheng didn't dare to say any more, this was a very terrible thing.
"That's right! It is likely that General Yan would have taken refuge in Changping Jun's disciples a long time ago. Zimo knows what the eldest brother wants to say, and he really has a heart.
Once General Yan took refuge in Changpingjun, it would not be so easy to deal with him.
"So, this time I just want to teach him a little lesson!" Qin Yu said indifferently.
After Qin Yu finished speaking, he picked up the teacup on the table and drank all the tea in the cup, presumably because he had talked too much just now, and his mouth was dry. When you take a sip of tea, you really have a sweet feeling.
"Good tea! Is this a fragrant tea known as 'gold and jade'? Qin Yu took the teacup in his hand and spun it around.
"Exactly! I didn't expect His Highness to also have research on tea. Beigong Zheng said.
Zimo looked at His Royal Highness at this time, and then said: "Your Highness has always liked to drink, but I didn't expect to be interested in drinking tea?" ”
"Hehe...... sure enough, Zimo still understands me! Do you have to remember, you still haven't invited me to a drink? Qin Yu said with a smile.
Zimo glanced at the prince helplessly, saying that he didn't want to talk anymore. When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince talked about drinking, he became energetic.
"If Your Highness doesn't dislike it, you will have dinner at the house at noon?" Beigong Zheng said this because he really wanted to keep His Royal Highness, after all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince helped the Beigong family so much this time.
"Then I'll be disrespectful." Qin Yu was in a good mood.
