Chapter 152: Don't be a child's play
If the matter between himself and Mo Simin can be successful, Mo Qiyan in front of him is his father-in-law, and the prince is naturally respectful: "I know that Lord Mo, you must have a lot of questions to ask now, just ask directly." ”
Mo Qiyan hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke.
"What is the relationship between Simin and the crown prince?"
is worthy of being a well-known figure in the imperial court, and he got to the point as soon as he asked.
The prince smiled and said a little embarrassedly: "Master Mo, I like Simin. ”
He was afraid that what he said was not enough, and added to Mo Qiyan: "If I can, I want to marry Simin and let her be my crown princess." ”
Even though he had a vague premonition in his heart, when he really heard the words coming out of the prince's mouth, Mo Qiyan still felt a kind of shock.
He never thought that Mo Simin would be involved with the royal family.
Fathers of ordinary families would be overjoyed to hear that the royal family, especially the crown prince, was tempted to their daughters, but Mo Qiyan was an exception.
His face was not happy, but it was not dissatisfied.
The complicated expression quietly expressed his messy mood at this moment.
Mo Qiyan didn't want Mo Simin to marry into the royal family.
"I know what you're worried about, Lord Mo," the crown prince sighed, raised his hand directly, and swore at him, "People from the outside world have mixed reputations against people from the royal family, especially when it comes to marriage, they prefer to treat it with a playful attitude, and I, Jude, am different from them." ”
Thinking of Mo Simin's face, countless powers surged in the prince's body: "If Simin is willing, I can marry her alone in my life." ”
Mo Qiyan's face changed again.
Ordinary rich families may have three wives and four concubines in the backyard, the prince is the prince of the country, the future emperor, how can he guarantee it?
As soon as he entered the palace gate, he felt that his daughter was not suitable to live in that sea.
He had already rejected the prince in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on the surface, and he still wrinkled his eyebrows and thought about it.
The prince was very nervous: "Have you figured out the answer?" ”
Mo Qiyan didn't answer, only said that this matter was related to Mo Simin's life, and he definitely couldn't take it lightly, so he couldn't make up his mind for the time being.
It still depends on what Mo Simin means.
The prince's face was beaming.
In fact, he thought that Mo Qiyan would agree from the beginning, but looking at the other party's current appearance, he was sure that he should not object, so it was enough, anyway, he would have time to persuade Mo Simin slowly in the future.
The prince's joy fell on Mo Qiyan's eyes, and instantly turned into a strong worry.
Does Mo Simin know the prince's heart? What was in her mind?
All kinds of questions were condensed in one place, making his heart feel like being tickled by ants, and he was very uncomfortable: "Your Highness, can you take me to meet Simin, I haven't seen her for a few days." ”
The prince wanted to take Mo Qiyan to see Mo Simin, and by the way, let him help ask the girl what was going on in her heart, but he didn't dare.
"Simin, she made it clear that she doesn't want to see you for the time being....."
As soon as these words were spoken, Mo Qiyan felt that his heart was crining, and he almost didn't catch his breath.
A thousand words, and finally turned into a helpless sigh: "Since she doesn't want to see me, let's not see it, she has always been willful." ”
The disappointment in the words made the onlookers' hearts tighten, and they hurriedly jumped out and said, "If Master Mo has something to say to Simin, you can let me take it, she will definitely be willing to see me." ”
"That's fine," Mo Qiyan nodded, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can help me persuade her to go home early, no matter what happens, we are always a family, even if she doesn't want to see the embroidered mother and daughter, after all, she shouldn't miss the father-daughter relationship, it is best to persuade her to go home early, if she can't persuade her to meet me and talk carefully." ”
Master Mo has always been strong, and even if he was seriously ill before, he had not shown a similar fragile expression when he was holding his body to go to the court.
It seems that he is really old.
The prince solemnly said that he would definitely persuade Mo Simin.
After getting a satisfactory reply, Mo Qiyan left the restaurant with his own people.
He is getting old, and his body is not as good as day by day, and the two days of worry and annoyance are intertwined, which makes his body a little uncomfortable, and he has to go back early to rest.
"What did Master Mo tell you?"
As soon as the prince got downstairs, An Xiabai walked to his side.
"He asked me to persuade Simin to go home early." A faint smile was drawn at the corner of the prince's lips, "It seems that today's matter of the restaurant still has to be handled by you and Liu'er yourself." ”
An Xiabai smiled and said that he was fine: "You just go and go about your own business." ”
The prince nodded and left the restaurant behind Mo Qiyan.
At the same time, in the yamen of the capital, Jiangzhidong was sweating like rain for something.
Today is the agreed deadline, but the third prince Feng Bailin asked him to help find the person, but there is still no clue.
That person was as if he didn't exist at all, no matter what method Jiang Zhidong used, he couldn't find any useful information, so his heart was like ashes, and he hated to shoot himself to death.
"My lord, isn't that too demanding?" The official said with a bitter face, "There is no name, there is no special mark on the body, there are so many people living in the capital, there are so many similar people, if we can find it?" What's the difference between this and looking for a needle in a haystack? ”
Jiang Zhidong also had complaints in his heart, but he was smarter than the official, and he never dared to say his true thoughts.
They trembled through the household registration in the study, and finally waited for Bailin to seal Bailin in the afternoon.
This time, Feng Bailin came out of the palace openly, so he had guards by his side.
As soon as he entered the door, he asked Jiang Zhidong with a smile: "Did you find the person who asked you to check last time?" ”
Jiang Zhidong knelt down with a thud and replied in a trembling voice: "The lower official is incompetent, he failed to find the girl you said, Your Highness, and please punish Your Highness." ”
As soon as these words came out, Feng Bailin's face turned dark.
The expectation of several days has turned into a bamboo basket to draw water, and no one can stand this kind of thing: "Let you catch the gangsters, you don't dare to do anything, let you help check a person, you can't find out, what's the use of asking you?" ”
Jiang Zhidong kowtowed like pounding garlic, and knocked the floor with a bang: "Your Highness forgives your sins!" ”
Feng Bailin glared at him fiercely, and swept everything on the desk to the ground with a flick of his sleeve.
"Rubbish!" The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, "Why can't you even find out about a girl, surely that girl can be hidden deeper than those gangsters?" ”
Feng Bailin didn't believe that An Xiabai would have such a background, in his eyes, she was just an ordinary person, maybe a young lady from a wealthy family in the capital, or a young lady from an official family, her identity might be noble, but it would definitely not be difficult to check, something must have gone wrong.
Feng Bailin furrowed his brows tightly: "How did you check?" ”
"Xiaguan is in accordance with Your Highness's orders, in the nearby streets to check unmarried girls, especially young ladies with a good family background, it can be said that the people in the neighborhood asked, we have already checked, but we have never found the person you said," Jiang Zhidong plucked up the courage to ask, "Could it be that Your Highness's memory is biased, so we leaned on the building to drop some clues?" ”
Perhaps.
Feng Bailin had just lost his temper, so his face was a little unbearable: "You can increase the scope a little bit, and look for it in the entire capital." ”
Jiang Zhidong escaped, and hurriedly kowtowed in response: "The lower officials will definitely do their best." ”
Feng Bailin snorted twice, and left the yamen quickly with his own people.
Today, he left the palace, in addition to wanting to find some clues from Jiangzhidong, the main reason was to visit his imperial uncle Feng Yunlong.
His sweetheart couldn't be found, and Feng Bailin felt that it was more necessary for him to see him.
Feng Yunlong has a gentle and amiable temperament, and he usually doesn't think of bothering him with these trivial things.
Feng Bailin was even more determined to complain, so he came all the way to the palace, and happened to meet the imperial uncle who was going out: "Where are you going?" ”
"Yo, rare guest." Feng Yunlong looked at him in a blink of an eye, with a look of surprise on his face, "Haven't you been studying your homework in the palace recently, how can you have time to come out to see me?" Isn't something happening? ”
"Uncle Huang, you guessed right," Feng Bailin drooped his shoulders, and his eyebrows showed some melancholy, "I have some doubts and can't think of anything, so I came to meet you, and by the way, I want to hear your opinion, but it seems that I came here today is a little unlucky." ”
Feng Yunlong was about to go out.
"I have something to do today, I need to go out." Feng Yunlong smiled and said, "But it's not a big deal, even if it is delayed for a while, it doesn't hurt." ”
Feng Bailin smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "Forget it, it's important to get down to business, Uncle Huang, you don't have to worry about me, I'll walk around the palace by myself, sit down and drink tea, and I'll go by myself." ”
In fact, what Feng Yunlong cared about was not him, but his gossip heart.
His third nephew grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he rarely left the palace, he has always been well protected, why is he worried now?
Feng Yunlong couldn't figure it out: "You haven't been trapped by love recently, right?" ”
was said by him, so Feng Bailin's face was a little annoyed, but he also keenly noticed another word in Feng Yunlong's words, "Also?" Why is it yes, is there another person who has been trapped by love recently? ”
Feng Yunlong smiled and said, "It's true, your imperial brother has been worrying about emotional matters recently. ”
Because Feng Bailin usually has a good relationship with the crown prince, Feng Yunlong is not afraid to tell him clearly.
Anyway, Mo Simin lives in his palace at this time, and when Feng Bailin goes in to go shopping, he will inevitably encounter it, right?
"Your imperial brother, I brought a girl a few days ago, he and that girl said that they were friends on the surface, but in fact they were not, I secretly observed for a long time, and I felt that there should be something between them."
Feng Bailin's eyes lit up, and he wanted Feng Yunlong to explain the matter in detail, but it turned out that it was time for the other party to go out.
He could only choose to go into the mansion by himself to see Mo Simin.
"I heard that you were the one brought into the palace by the imperial brother personally, I don't know what the relationship between you and the imperial brother is, and also, have we met before?" Feng Bailin frowned and looked at Mo Simin, inexplicably feeling that the other party was a little familiar, "I always feel as if I have seen you somewhere." ”
