Before the king of Chu ascended the throne, the two brothers had a conversation, and the king of Chu sincerely invited the nine princes to help him, and the two brothers ruled Dongxuan together and created a prosperous world. It's a pity that the Nine Princes didn't agree, and although the King of Chu felt regretful, he didn't force it.

On this day, the ninth prince was ordered to enter the palace, and when he arrived at the imperial study, he found that there were only two people inside, King Chu and Xie Yutang.

"I don't know what Your Majesty is waiting for your majesty to come over?" The Nine Princes said respectfully.

The king of Chu corrected him several times, saying that between brothers, there is no need to be so polite, the ninth prince seems to have a bad memory, and he will forget it every time, and now the king of Chu is too lazy to correct it.

"Ninth brother, Yutang, I chatted with Hubu Shangshu for a long time the day before yesterday, only to find that the treasury has been completely emptied, how can it be done like this, in case of a disaster year, the imperial court can only be helpless. Therefore, I think that the most urgent thing is to fill the treasury, what do you think? ”

Xie Yutang arched his hand with kindness, "What Your Majesty said is very reasonable. ”

King Chu tapped his fingers on the table, "I am in a difficult situation now, the people are not rich, and I have just promised them that they will be exempted from taxes for three years, how can I go back on my word." ”

Thinking that this was a headache for the King of Chu, Xie Yutang proposed on the side, "Your Majesty, in addition to collecting taxes from the people, Weichen thinks that Your Majesty can vigorously develop commerce and encourage trade with neighboring countries, so that taxes will also increase greatly." ”

Hearing this, King Chu's eyes lit up, and he bowed slightly, "Yutang's idea is good, ninth brother, do you have any good ideas." ”

The Ninth Prince smiled bitterly and waved his hand, "Your Majesty, the minister is an elm head, and he doesn't know about these major events in people's livelihood, not to mention," he paused, and then said, "The minister will leave Beijing in a few days, please fulfill Your Majesty." ”

The King of Chu lost his voice and said, "What? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister's wish has always been to be an idle prince, he doesn't know much about the affairs of the court, and he doesn't bother to think about it, since the time when his father was still there, the minister thought so, and he will come back this time, and he is forced to come back. Now that the dust has settled, please fulfill it to Your Majesty. ”

King Chu stood up in disbelief, "Lao Jiu, why don't you stay and help me?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't have that ability."

No matter how the King of Chu kept him, the Nine Princes were unwilling to stay, his attitude was too resolute, and the King of Chu had to agree even if he didn't want to release him.

"After so many years, your temper has not changed at all, ninth brother." The king of Chu was very helpless, and suddenly had a sense of right and wrong in his heart.

The Ninth Prince smiled slightly, and arched his hand, "Brother is here, I wish the imperial brother a long life and good health, and everything goes well." ”

King Chu raised his hand and patted the Ninth Prince's shoulder, "Take care." ”

At this moment, there was no longer a gap between the two identities of the emperor and the courtiers, but as a pair of ordinary brothers, they parted with each other.

The fact that the Ninth Prince was leaving the capital was not publicized with much fanfare, but there were still many people who knew about it, and Chi Wan was one of them.

She didn't expect the Nine Princes to leave, so she asked Xie Yutang privately, "Is there a conflict between the Nine Princes and the King of Chu?" ”

"Why do you ask?" Hearing this, Xie Yutang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Chi Wan was puzzled, "If there is no contradiction, why should the Nine Princes leave in a hurry, this time the King of Chu was able to ascend to that position, and the Nine Princes also have a lot of credit." ”

Xie Yutang took her hand, sat down in the pavilion, and slowly told her, "The King of Chu has kept him, and he himself is unwilling to stay." ”

Chi Wan was stunned for a long time, sighed, and was a little melancholy, Mu Zhufeng died, and the Nine Princes were leaving again, these people disappeared from their side one by one, and it was false to say that they were not sad.

"How?" Xie Yutang was a little jealous, holding Chi Wan's hand unconsciously with a little force, he was saddened by Mu Zhufeng a few days ago, and now there is another Nine Princes?

Chi Wan didn't notice his expression, and said to herself, "It's nothing, I just think that the Nine Princes can stay, why do you have to leave." ”

"Everyone has their own aspirations." Xie Yutang's tone was cold, thinking that it was fortunate that the Ninth Prince was leaving, otherwise he would have to guard against him.

Fortunately, Chi Wan didn't know what he was thinking, otherwise he would have to vomit blood.

Chi Wan's thoughts were all on the matter of the Nine Princes leaving, and a faint sorrow came to her heart, "That's right, the Nine Princes have always been used to being free, and they like the life of idle clouds and wild cranes, and the capital is a cage for him." ”

The two chatted for a while about the Nine Princes, but Xie Yutang didn't want to say more about this person, so he changed the topic.

"I asked people to check the date, and a month later, there was an auspicious day of the zodiac, the third day of the eighth month, and it was appropriate to get married."

Chi Wan was really distracted and said in surprise, "The third day of the eighth month? So fast? ”

Although Xie Yutang said that he wanted to give her a grand family affair, she didn't expect it to be so soon, a month later...... She wasn't ready.

Xie Yutang said as a matter of course, "It's not happy, there's still a month." ”

Hearing this, Chi Wan was a little speechless, "I haven't prepared anything this year, it's only been a month, will it be too rushed, why don't you push back the time?" ”

"No, you just have to wait, I'll have someone prepare."

Hearing him say this, Chi Wan had no choice but to let Xie Yutang decide, in fact, she was also happy in her heart. Thinking that he was about to become a real family with Xie Yutang, a warm current surged in his heart.

Sure enough, in the days that followed, Xie Yutang's busy feet did not touch the ground, on the one hand, it was the affairs of the court, and on the other hand, it was the family affairs of the two, but it was Chi Wan, except for the size of the body when the embroidery girl came over, and the rest of the time was idle and about to get moldy.

She was bored at home, and thought that the Nine Princes were about to leave the capital, and the two of them were going through hardships together, and they were good friends.

At this time, in the shop of the Nine Princes, he was explaining to his subordinates about his departure.

"You still have this shop open, and when I return to the capital one day, I will have a place to stay."

The subordinate said respectfully, "Yes." ”

But soon, the Ninth Prince shook his head again and said with a smile, "I shouldn't be coming back in the short term, but I think too much." ”

"Lord Wang, in fact, you don't have to worry about having no place to live, isn't your mansion being built, and the next time you come back, the mansion will be built."

The ninth prince smiled and shook his head, he didn't want fame and fortune, what did he want a mansion to do, but he didn't tell his subordinates.

The two were talking, and a voice sounded behind them, "The prince is leisurely, just leave." ”

The Ninth Prince turned around and saw Chi Wan walking in, and smiled before speaking, "You're here." ”

Chi Wan pretended to be unhappy and frowned, "I won't come again, I don't even know if the prince is gone, I'm still stupid in the dark." ”

Thinking of this, she really felt a little complaining in her heart, she regarded the Nine Princes as a friend, in the minds of the Nine Princes, what was she.

"Don't you dare, I was going to visit, but before I had time, you came first." The Nine Princes hurriedly raised their hands to beg for mercy.

This pretended exaggerated appearance amused Chi Wan, and also made the complaints in her heart disappear.

"The prince is leaving, I wonder if I can have the honor to invite the prince to dinner?" She leaned lazily against the counter with her hands around her chest, the sun shining down and casting a halo on the side of her face.

This quiet and peaceful picture made the Nine Princes stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

What's wrong with you, could it be that you've seen too much of the scene in troubled times? I suddenly craved this peace.

"Naturally, you want to give me food?"

"The prince is gone, I don't know when we will be able to meet, I prepared some thin wine and drank two glasses with the prince."

Chi Wan asked for a private room in Zuichun Building, the best restaurant in the capital, and ordered someone to renovate a table of banquets, but no one was invited, only the Nine Princes.

The Nine Princes liked it very much at first glance, and sighed sincerely, "Miss Chi has a heart." ”

"It's good if the prince doesn't dislike it."

During the banquet, Chi Wan asked where the Nine Princes planned to go in the future, and the Nine Princes smiled, poured a full bottle of wine for themselves, and drank it all in one heart, "Wherever you go, the four seas are home." ”

Chi Wan sighed a little emotionally, obviously he was a prince, and he enjoyed endless glory and wealth in the capital, but he wanted to go out to eat and sleep, and he didn't know what the picture was.

She thought so in her heart, and asked too.

The Ninth Prince was stunned, and said with a smile, "Is it glorious and rich?" I don't think so. ”

Chi Wan sighed, "How many people want to pursue a life like Wang Ye all their lives, but Wang Ye can easily give up, it can be seen that the world is contradictory." ”

"Miss Chi, you don't understand, how good it is to indulge in landscapes, you don't have so many troubles about mundane things, you can do whatever you want, and you don't have to worry about losing your head if you say the wrong thing one day, let alone being busy with business every day, and you don't know how comfortable it is."

His words can be said to be heartfelt, if he is heard by someone with a heart, he can be punished with a big disrespectful crime, after all, in this passage, it is vaguely mentioned that the heavenly family is ruthless, and the king is like a tiger.

How could Chi Wan, who was as smart as Chi Wan, not understand what the other party meant, but she was afraid of another prince.

"In the final analysis, the prince still wants to evade responsibility."

The Ninth Prince didn't defend either, and smiled, "Let's just say this, I'm loose by nature, and my brain is not very good, I can't compare with others, but I can't afford to hide from it, right?" ”

Chi Wan didn't dare to agree with this statement, the head of the ninth prince was still called a bad brain, so how many people had to hit the wall, she couldn't help but quipped, "Prince, you are too modest, you don't know how to do it, you obviously don't want to do it." ”

The relationship between the two is closer than that of ordinary friends, so Ji Wan doesn't have so many scruples when she speaks. She has always admired the Nine Princes, this person really has great wisdom.

The Ninth Prince took a bite of food, smiled, shook his head and said, "Miss Chi, you are too exalted to me, and I am just an ordinary person." ”

An ordinary person who just wants to live well.

Chi Wan raised her glass, "To ordinary people." ”

The Ninth Prince picked up the wine glass and touched it with her, and replied, "Respect for a calm and leisurely, uneventful ordinary life." ”
