Chapter 29: No Courage
"Your Highness, what's wrong?" Zhou Ye, who didn't know why, looked at the prince and walked directly to his backyard, the backyard was full of female dependents, no matter how noble the prince's identity was, it was also a foreign man, so like this, it was really not good!
Prince Xiao Ye also noticed his faux pas, and smiled a little embarrassedly, he said, "Fang is the rude of this palace, it's just ...... This palace just heard a familiar name, and thought it was a former friend, but for a while he forgot that this was the Shilang Mansion, so there was this rudeness, I hope the Shilang Lord will forgive me! ”
As the prince of a country, he can apologize to a petty official like him like this, Zhou Ye is not a person who doesn't know what to do, so he replied with a smile at the moment: "Your Royal Highness is serious, but the officials here are all women from the inner mansion, and they often don't leave the mansion in the house, so how can they have the honor to get to know His Royal Highness the prince and make friends with him!" ”
That's right......
When Xiao Ye heard this, he hooked his lips slightly.
Xiao Jue, who was accompanying him next to him, smiled at the moment: "The imperial brother must have been under too much pressure recently, so they all hallucinated, but then again, a few days ago, when the king and the imperial brother passed the mansion, the king stole a while in the mansion, and overheard the people in your mansion say that there is a cousin in the mansion, I don't know if it's true?" ”
Miss Table?
When Xiao Ye heard this, he had some bold guesses in his heart.
This is not something that cannot be said, besides, His Royal Highness also heard it, and Zhou Ye did not admit it at that time, and it was not very good.
Immediately nodded and replied: "What the prince said is true, some time ago, my sister died of illness, I am afraid that the widow has no one to take care of her, so it is convenient to write to the house before her death, and beg the lower officials to take care of it, no, a few days ago, that is, the day when the two highnesses passed the house, the niece of the lower official was taken back to Jiankang by her mother's people, in the end, she came from a small place, and she is not very clear about the rules of Jiankang, if the niece of the lower official collided with the two highnesses, I hope the two highnesses can forgive me!" ”
Zhou Ye doesn't know much about the girl in Xinlou, but the day before yesterday she didn't return to the house all night, it was also a big trouble, but now it's his good daughter's matter that is making more trouble, as far as the current situation is concerned, it is better to solve Yan'er's matter first.
After all...... Yan'er's surname is Zhou, she is on the Zhou family tree, and Shen Xinlou is different, even if it is her sister's daughter, but she is also surnamed Shen, not Zhou!
Of course, if he can keep that girl's reputation, he will keep it, if not...... Anyway, it's the Shen family!
Xiao Jue looked at the expression on Zhou Ye's face, and he had a rough idea in his heart.
Although Xiao and the people on weekdays are gentle, they understand the current situation better than anyone else, and this week's Ye is a ...... As an official, he is dutiful, but for his father and elders...... I'm afraid that as long as no one hurts the lintel of his Zhou family, he will do anything!
"Your Highnesses, please come here!"
Zhou Ye didn't want to waste more time here, now Yan'an's affairs are known to everyone in the house, today was originally to invite the prince to come, one is to confirm whether the clothes are his, and the other is to ask the two highnesses to check who is going to ruin the reputation of his Zhou family!
Zhou Ye has also been promoted from a small local official all the way to here, and he has been dedicated to his duties for several years, if someone really wants to rectify him, it is also very normal!
The current situation in the court is a bit strange, he is clearly on the side of the prince, but the third son of the emperor in the current court, Xiao Duo, the king of the city, has been fighting against His Royal Highness the prince! He is now on the side of the crown prince, and if the king of the city wants to attack him, it is not impossible!
Knowing these things, Zhou Ye still has some fears, he is a little waiter who doesn't have a special backer, where will he be the opponent of these big people? The reason why the king of the city did not directly knock him down was because he was usually cautious in what he did, and now he had the important task of receiving the enemy country to talk and envoys, Xiao Duo would not do anything to him for the time being, but what about after the envoys came and left?
Zhou Ye didn't dare to joke with the lives of the whole family, and his second brother was still guarding the border pass.
led the prince and them to the ancestral hall together, Zhou Yanan was still kneeling in the ancestral hall at that time, and Zhou Yanan, who was originally drowsy, was awake when she saw the prince!
Hurriedly knelt upright, and when she saw the prince, it seemed that the whole grievance she had suffered in the past two years had been expressed.
She cried so much that she reached out to pull the prince, but the prince stood six feet away from her.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......"
Zhou Ye looked at it, his face was ugly, he also understood the interrogation of his daughter in the past two days, this girl was brainless, and she had been thinking about His Royal Highness the Prince, but looking at the prince's reaction...... It seems that I don't know Yan'er well!
Twisting his brows slightly, Zhou Ye didn't know what to say for a while, stepped forward and directly blocked in front of Zhou Yan'an, and bowed to the prince: "Your Highness, the lower officials have all the doubts in their hearts, please ask the courtiers in front of the lower officials today, after all, ...... If this matter spreads in the future, Yan'er's reputation will be ruined, and if it hurts the prince, it will ......"
understood what Zhou Ye meant, Xiao Ye was not an unreasonable person, so he bowed his head slightly.
After Zhou Ye saw it, he immediately stepped aside, Xiao Ye looked at the kneeling woman on the ground, and immediately asked: "Miss Zhou, this palace ...... Have I never seen you? ”
Never...... Ever seen?
The prince's question was like a bolt from the blue to Zhou Yan'an, how could he say that he hadn't seen her?
After being stunned for a while, Zhou Yanan hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, no, Your Highness, have you forgotten?" You've had a few encounters with the little girl, don't you remember? ”
A few faces? Xiao Ye thought about it, but still didn't remember where she had seen her, and after looking at Zhou Yan'an for a while, Xiao Ye said lightly: "This palace came today, just to ask for confirmation with Miss Zhou, since the last time the palace entered the Zhou family to discuss important matters with Lord Shilang, he was personally sent out of the house by Lord Shilang, and the Shilang never left half a step along the way into the house. ”
Although this is not a good thing to say, Xiao Ye also said the truth, a few days ago, it was Zhou Ye who received him personally, in order to prevent the people in the mansion from colliding with the prince, he also specially ordered not to let the female relatives in the backyard walk around!
Zhou Ye glanced at his daughter, and fell into deep thought, in this way, the prince really has no time to do such a thing! But whose clothes do they have? Zhou Ye wouldn't believe that Yan'er would be so bold and would frame the prince!
