Zhao Yuanqi and Zhao Yuanxuan returned to the capital, which was also expected by Ji Ning.

It's just that he didn't expect the two of them to come back so soon.

Chongwang Zhao Kangle is unlikely to let his wife and children stay in Jinling City, where although Emperor Shangao is far less likely to be involved in the power of the capital, but it is also very dangerous, because someone wants to attack his wife and children, he is beyond the reach of the whip, it is better to directly send the family to the capital and advance and retreat with him.

"Your Royal Highness is polite!" Ji Ning couldn't show how familiar he was with the people of Chongwang's Mansion, and after bowing slightly, he still stepped aside and asked Zhao Yuanqi to talk to Ma Heng and the others.

He himself is only a lowest-level apprentice in the Temple of Literature, and he doesn't have much say here, and Zhao Yuanqi, as a powerful person in the court, came to inspect the Temple of Literature, and he was not qualified to come out to greet him.

Now Ma Heng specially invited him out, in fact, it was also to give Zhao Yuanqi face, he himself couldn't be unacquainted, otherwise he would be unanimously hated by the people in the Temple of Literature, which was not what he wanted.

Zhao Yuanqi didn't worry too much at first, but seeing Ji Ning's restrained attitude, he also understood something.

After all, he is the son of Chongwang, he has received a high education, and he naturally understands some people who are sophisticated, and at the beginning he was happy about Ji Ning's reunion after a long absence, but at this time he had to put it down for the time being, and as for drinking and talking with Ji Ning, he could only wait until Ji Ning worked from the Temple of Literature.

After that, Zhao Yuanqi didn't deliberately get close to Ji Ning, but just talked to Ma Heng and others, while Ji Ning stood next to him and didn't speak.

waited until Zhao Yuanqi's brothers and sisters were about to leave, and Zhao Yuanqi found an opportunity to say to Ji Ning: "Yongning, wait for you at the door in the afternoon, how about going out to drink together?" ”

Ji Ning smiled and nodded, so he didn't say much, he also knew that Zhao Yuanqi's arrival had brought him some trouble, and the eyes of the people in the Temple of Literature were a little different, probably these people were also guessing what the relationship between them was.

……

……

In the afternoon, when Ji Ning came out of the Confucian Temple, Zhao Yuanqi was really waiting.

But this time Zhao Yuanqi didn't take Zhao Yuanxuan, as if he also knew that Zhao Yuanxuan would be a little embarrassed after meeting Ji Ning now.

"Yongning, you're out? Alas! There are some things that are not easy to say in it, and I finally came out and discussed with you......" Zhao Yuanqi's face was not as relaxed as before, but his face was straight, making Ji Ning feel that Zhao Yuanqi seemed to have something in his heart.

The two of them went to the nearest restaurant together, which was not very big, but there was a private room on the second floor, and when they entered it, there were only two people left, sitting opposite the table, Zhao Yuanqi said: "Yongning probably didn't expect me to go back to the capital, right?" ”

"Hmm." Ji Ning nodded, "Why did you come back?" ”

"It was my father who ordered us to come back, and this time we came together, as well as our mother and concubine, as well as the people of Chongwang's Mansion!" Zhao Yuanqi looked worried, "Originally, the vassal king couldn't stay in the capital, but my father did this...... Yu Yu's imperial court rules and regulations are not compatible, and now he has moved the Chongwang Mansion over, which makes people feel even more ...... Restless! ”

Ji Ning didn't say anything.

In fact, it is also obvious that King Chong has the intention of rebellion, and the people of the world did not know about it before, no matter what King Chong does, it is done in secret, but now King Chong has brought a lot of things to the surface, and it is impossible to cover up some things, everyone in the world knows that King Chong intends to be an enemy of the court, or that King Chong has become a big problem for the emperor.

As for the people in Chongwangfu, including Zhao Yuanqi and Zhao Yuanxuan's brothers and sisters, they didn't think that their father was going to be a rebellious minister before, but now that things are becoming more and more obvious, they can't avoid this problem themselves, so that a generous person like Zhao Yuanqi, who has always had a loyal and filial heart, naturally can't accept his father's rebellious move.

"Yongning, you say, what is my father going to do in the capital? I only heard that the crown prince was deposed because of the rebellion, but we know very little about the situation, and my father's adviser said that in this prince's incident, my father made a great contribution, so His Majesty will leave my father in the capital, is this the case? Zhao Yuanqi looked at Ji Ning, he himself didn't have any separate staff, and the news he got came from the mouths of his father's doormen, and he didn't know much about the situation in the capital at all.

Ji Ning nodded slightly and said, "King Chong helped the imperial court before and quelled the prince's rebellion......"

"Sure enough, I originally thought it was someone around my father who opened his mouth!" When Zhao Yuanqi heard Ji Ning's words, he was a little relieved.

Originally, Ji Ning wanted to say something to warn Zhao Yuanqi, but when the words came to his mouth, he didn't know what to say, after all, the current contradiction between King Chong and the court was already inevitable, and sooner or later there would be a contradiction between King Chong and the court, and at that time he himself would stand on the side of Princess Wenren, that is, on the side of the court, and he really didn't have the confidence to say anything to Zhao Yuanqi.

In the future, he will be an enemy on the battlefield, and if what he says now is not appropriate, he will become using this friendship to gain some political benefits, which is a result he does not want to see.

Ji Ning asked, "What are the plans for the prince to return to the capital?" ”

Zhao Yuanqi smiled ashamedly and said, "What can I do when I return to the capital?" No matter what you do, your father will arrange it, just like going to the Temple of Literature today, originally I didn't think about going over as a son to give gifts and meet guests, but now I think about it, my father has the intention of closing others, and now it's futile to say anything, but it's better to pretend that I don't know anything...... I just hope that my father will not do anything rebellious in the future......"

Some words, when they came to Zhao Yuanqi's mouth, they also wanted to stop talking.

These words are appropriate for a courtier, but they are very inappropriate for a son.

Zhao Yuanqi was very worried that his father would rebel in the future, and he originally didn't believe that his generous father was this kind of person, because he received a lot of guidance from his father when he was a child, and his admiration for Zhao Kangle was also innate, as if Zhao Yuanrong's previous worship of Zhao Kangzheng was the same.

But some things will gradually appear, and Zhao Yuanqi is not a fool, he can naturally feel the changes in the situation.

Ji Ning comforted: "King Chong is dedicated to the court, how can he do anything else?" Shizi is a little too worried, so let's do it today, let's do it today, drink a few glasses of water and wine together and then go back, how about it? ”

Zhao Yuanqi's face first showed a happy look, and then he was a little disappointed, and said: "It is naturally the best to be able to drink with Yongning, but it is a pity that my father has explained before, I must not go back until dark outside, I have to leave today, Yongning, we have time to get together again!" ”
