Chapter 21 Power and Party Struggle

Li Xu and his entourage returned home, and then Li Xu asked his wife and daughter to rest first, leaving Yunshi, Wenjin and Shuyun in the main hall. Li Xu first asked Wen Jin a question: "Wen Jin, today in the main hall, the prince's words and deeds have indeed caused you a lot of trouble, so what good is it for him to have so much?" ”

Wen Jin said: "I really haven't thought about this matter, and the thing I can't figure out the most is why he has to marry me." ”

Li Xu continued: "For the time being, I don't care why he has to marry you, but as a normal person, if he makes such a request that night, what do you think the consequences will be?" ”

"It will definitely provoke Your Majesty's anger, because it has been less than three years since my parents died, and I already have a marriage contract on my body, which is a matter known to the world, so anyone who proposes to marry me will definitely be punished by His Majesty." , Wen Jin replied.

"The crux of the matter is here, as long as we use our brains to think about it, we know that to say such things on Chinese New Year's Eve is simply self-defeating." The prince has lived in the deep palace for many years, doesn't he understand such a simple truth? Li Xu then said.

Shuyun interjected on the side and said, "Didn't he drink in the main hall just now?" That's why he said all the words after drinking, and at that time, it was difficult to control his emotions because he was drunk, so he made such a ridiculous request! ”

Yun Shi immediately said: "The crown prince is the prince of a country, no matter what he says and does, he must be cautious in his words and deeds, and today is in this hall, there are many pairs of eyes watching, not to mention whether he will be drunk or not, even if he is drunk, he will not say such ridiculous words." ”

After Yun Shi finished speaking, Li Xu nodded with a smile, and Wen Jin seemed to wake up from a dream at this time, and he roughly understood Yun Shi's meaning in his heart.

Then he said: "I understand, the crown prince is the prince, and he will not make this kind of mistake easily, so there may be another hidden reason in this." ”

After Li Xu heard this, he felt that it was not appropriate to talk about this matter further, so he planned to stop the topic, so he said: "It's good that you understand, as for the matter of the crown prince and the stakes involved, Your Majesty will investigate it clearly, and we don't need to think about it anymore." ”,

Yun Shi continued Li Xu's words: "General Li Xu is right, after all, tonight is still Chinese New Year's Eve, and tomorrow is the New Year. General Li Xu will go back to sleep first, and leave the three of us young people here to keep the New Year. ”

"Okay, okay, you three can play here, the old man won't participate!" , Li Xu said with a smile.

Yun Shi was in a hurry to support Li Xu, in fact, there was another reason, because he cared about one thing very much, he had to know what the situation was, that is, asking Jin and Shuyun to be married.

But Yun Shi didn't want to ask directly, so he planned to wait for Wen Jin to return to the room for a while, and then ask Shuyun in private, so as to relieve the doubts in his heart.

Seeing that the new year had come to a halfway point, the three of them silently made their wishes a month ago, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

However, Shuyun walked straight to Yun Shi's room, because he knew that Yun Shi must have something to ask him, and after Yun Shi saw it, he also understood that Shuyun had seen his thoughts, so the two entered the house together, planning to talk at night and have a good drink.

Without waiting for Yun Shi to speak, Shuyun said: "The marriage contract between me and Wenjin was made by my father in his early years, but His Majesty was also present, and because the relationship between our two families was already close, His Majesty decreed the marriage when we were young, and thus set the marriage between us." ”

After listening to Yun Shi, his heart was also full of thoughts, and he couldn't describe his mood for a while. Shuyun saw his thoughts at a glance, and then said: "I said that I want to compete fairly with you, don't worry, unless I ask Jin to marry me willingly, I will never reluctantly ask Jin." ”

After listening to it, Yun Shi was moved in his heart, and only said three words: "Thank you!" After Shuyun listened, he instantly got pimples all over his body, and then said: "Don't thank me, I'm not for you, I don't want to force Jin to do anything she doesn't want to do." ”

After Yun Shi listened, he naturally didn't say anything, and directly raised his wine glass, wanting to get drunk with Shuyun. The relationship between the two has taken a step forward since then, and they cherish each other, in addition to the fact that they really appreciate each other, there is another reason, both of them know that their common wish is that Wenjin can spend the rest of their lives happily.

On one end, the two of them were drinking and talking, but on the other hand, Wen Jin was tossing and turning in bed, and she couldn't sleep, because she was still thinking about what had just happened. She felt that the power struggle in the deep palace was really terrible, and she didn't like this kind of deceitful lifestyle.

There is another thing that she has not thought clearly, that is, although she knows that the prince may have been framed, so she will talk nonsense in the hall, but why did the prince say that he wanted to marry her? There is no intersection between them, and she feels that there must be a secret in this matter!
