"So this painting was painted by your old man, Your Highness? No wonder it's so well drawn. But I may disappoint Your Highness......" After a pause at the end, Xie Yaoguang sighed regretfully, "This painting was received from an antique shop when I was young. At the time, I thought it was good and wanted to ask the store who painted the painting, but the store told me that the person who painted it was no longer alive and that she seemed to be as old as me. ”

Ye Linchen put the painting back on the bookcase with confused eyes, and a helpless smile rose on his lips, "I'm sorry, I should have thought of it a long time ago." ”

After the Gu family was beheaded back then, the treasures treasured in the mansion were not lost to the people and were collected by the royal family and the family, how could they be seen by ordinary people? Maybe that's why...... My fair lady will let her paintings go to the people.

"Your Highness, if you like this painting, what does it matter if I give it to you?" Xie Yaoguang smiled at the end of his words, and at the same time, he quietly suppressed the emotion that slipped between his pupils.

"Thank you very much...... Yaoguang you. ”

"Your Highness, why do you need to be polite to me?" Xie Yaoguang raised his eyes and smiled and said, "Your Highness, you came to me today, but what is the important thing to discuss?"

The topic got back on track, and the two of them walked to the window and sat down. Bai Lu took Huangfu Ling to other places with interest.

"Well, I'm sure there's something I want to ask Yaoguang about you." Ye Linchen paused for a while before saying, "I hope Yaoguang, you don't blame this king for being abrupt."

"Your Highness, but it doesn't hurt to speak." Xie Yaoguang looked at Ye Linchen with a calm expression, and his tone was soft.

"Three days ago, Yaoguang, were you in Nanke Building?"

Xie Yaoguang looked at Ye Linchen and was silent for a while. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "Your Highness is asking what this is for." Nanke House is an property under my name, and I did go to it once a few days ago. After a pause, he saw Ye Linchen's expression unchanged, and then said, "But what's the matter?"

Seeing Xie Yaoguang say this, Ye Linchen said: "I accidentally picked up a piece of jade pendant that day, and I want to ask if it is Yaoguang yours."

Xie Yaoguang glanced at the jade pendant in Ye Linchen's hand, and a trace of strangeness flashed in his eyes. How could her jade pendant be in Ye Linchen's hands, could it be that it was lost that day?

"It is indeed my token, but fortunately, His Highness picked it up. I don't know how much trouble it will cause if I let others pick it up," she hooked her lips slightly, and smiled solemnly, "Since His Highness has saved Yaoguang so many times, then this jade pendant should be regarded as a thank you gift!" ”

Ye Linchen knew that Xie Yaoguang said this, and naturally understood that Xie Yaoguang didn't want to mention what happened that night.

It's just that he still wants to know what happened that night, which will make Xie Yaoguang reluctant to mention it.

And how could he keep holding Xie Yaoguang's jade pendant? When Ye Linchen looked at Xie Yaoguang again with doubts, he found that Xie Yaoguang had already turned sideways and looked out the window.

"Your Highness, when you inspected the docks with Xia Fu recently, what did you gain?" Xie Yaoguang soothed, and his eyebrows became more and more soft.

"You know that the household department is in charge of the world's livelihood, but what Zhang Qin left behind is a mess. Xia Fu wasted a lot of time in order to deal with the pile of bad debts. Holding the tea and blowing away the rising white mist, Ye Linchen took a sip and said in a deep voice: "But during this time, he also went to the dock from time to time to inspect one or two, as you think, there is indeed some gain." But...... Xia Fu wants to put a long line and catch big fish, so he is still waiting. ”

Xie Yaoguang raised his head and exclaimed: "His idea is very good, instead of scaring the grass and scaring the snake, it is better to raise it again, and maybe you can catch bigger fish." ”

The heavy eyes hide the ridicule that slipped between the beaded pupils. She knew that there should be a larger chain of interests behind this...... None of those people tried to escape.

"If Xia Fu knew that you praised him, he might have a very disgusted expression." Ye Linchen's eyes contained a sense of narrowness, and his eyes swept towards Xie Yaoguang.

"Your Highness, don't tell him that I praise him...... I think he probably hated me to the extreme. Xie Yaoguang raised his smiling face, and the ridicule in his eyes became thicker, "Your Highness, don't trouble me......

The side of his lips was raised, and the smile on Ye Linchen's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a solemn one. He narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Naturally not." I heard Cui Yuzhe say something, he recently checked the amount of grain and grass that has been delivered to the border in recent years, and found that something is not quite right. ”

Ye Linchen has been in the army for many years, and basically spent all these years in Yanmen. He knew better than anyone what grain and grass meant to the soldiers. If there are really people in the Great Calendar who take advantage of the power in their hands to steal grain and grass for profit, he will never let him go easily.

"Most of the affairs of the Ministry of War are related to Yang Minghan. Your Highness, rest assured, I will send someone to investigate in this direction. Xie Yaoguang Shi Ran tilted his lips and smiled, "I'm afraid that Yang Minghan now hates the prince so much...... Because the idea that the prince gave him at the beginning was useless. On the contrary, he lost his only son. ”

"You mean there's a chance he'll be desperate. Use this method to drag the prince into the water?" Ye Linchen raised his eyes to look at Xie Yaoguang, and surprise slipped in his eyes.

Xie Yao smiled widely, and his tone was quite appreciative, "Your Highness is smart. Anyway, the two of them are going to have a dislike sooner or later, so it's better to take advantage of this time to burn the fire. ”

"Cui Yuzhe, I will tell him, since you have to burn it to make a appearance, it is best to let Yang Minghan attack the prince." Ye Linchen smiled with his eyebrows hooked his lips, and his tone was gentle, "But I still have to work hard for you." ”

"Your Highness is polite, this is Yaoguang's business."

Listening to Ye Linchen's words, a trace of appreciation appeared in Xie Yaoguang's eyes. In this way, it seems that Ye Linchen has indeed made some progress compared to the past, but it is far from enough to win the heir, and now this ability is far from enough.

King Shou was the most optimistic prince of his grandfather except for King Qin, but unfortunately, in the eyes of his grandfather, although King Shou's talent and ability were not inferior to King Qin, he was not a person who could assume the responsibility of a king. And Ye Linchen, under the leadership of his brother King Qin, although his talent and ability are not inferior to the other two, he lacks a strategic heart and a city government.

If King Qin had not died at the beginning, would King Qin still trust Ye Linchen unreservedly as he did when he was young? She thought that King Qin would not, imperial power has always been a double-edged sword, half hurting others and half hurting herself.

"Miss Xie, I have always admired the imperial brother. Brother Huang, he is very talented and capable, what he has always wanted to do is to break up those gate valve families and rebuild a fair country" Ye Linchen looked at Xie Yaoguang's eyes and became distant in that moment: "He also has his mentors and friends to assist him, but it's a pity ......"

"Your Highness, I know that King Qin's idea is very good. However, there is never absolute fairness in this world, and all fairness is determined by strength. Xie Yaoguang paused for a moment and raised his eyes to stare at Ye Linchen and said, "If Your Highness wants to inherit his brother's legacy, he must also show absolute strength."

"I know, I will do what Miss Xie wishes."

Xie Yaoguang smiled and didn't answer Ye Linchen's words. For a while, the water pavilion was quiet, only the sound of cicadas from time to time.
