Genius site address: (mao86), the fastest update! No ads!
It was only a month after King Liang left that the crown prince finally came out to meet people again.
As if nothing had happened, he was still talking in the court, leading his subordinates and the King of Qin to fight each other, and they also had their own victories and defeats. Even in the matter of Chai Dong's defeat of Zhou Qing mentioned above the Ministry of Rites, the prince also helped them, because he also hated Zhou Qing!
However, after Zhou Qing stepped down, he fought with King Qin for 300 rounds because he wanted to compete for the position of Rite Minister Shang for his own people. In the end, the emperor couldn't stand it, so he appointed someone to replace him. Of course, those are the affairs of the men outside, and Chunzhi only listened to Chai Dong a few times and took it as a wind blowing in his ears.
She is a female dependent, and her status with the prince is very different, so it is rare to see each other. So when I met at the gate of Jingyang Palace this time, it was the first time after the little princess's 100th birthday banquet last year.
The prince is old. This is Harueda's first impression.
This is not to say that the prince's face looks much older, but that his eyes have changed a lot. When he saw Harueda Chai Dong appear, he even took the initiative to take a step forward.
Seeing this, Chai Dong had no choice but to salute him.
The prince also walked up to them. "Chai Yushi really shined last year! Just for your political performance, your performance this year must be excellent. Your promotion in the second half of the year is in sight! ”
Chai Dong hung his head. "Thank you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for your compliment, Weichen just did his part."
"Although it is a matter of duty, it is also to eliminate harm for the people, and it is also to eliminate a pest for the court. Your merits are not only in your eyes now, but I am afraid that my father will also remember them! The prince laughed, and even patted Chai Dong on the shoulder.
Chai Dong hurriedly took two steps back. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has won the award, but Weichen is really not so powerful."
The prince shook his head. "Chai Yushi, you are so humble. Don't you know? Now the courtiers are saying that you are much more powerful than your father, and you are more just and courteous—just like King Liang. ”
Chai Dong's back immediately stiffened, and then he slowly raised his head. "It turns out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also remembers King Liang?"
"He's Lone's own brother, and Lone watched him grow up, how could he not remember?" The prince smiled lightly, and a trace of nostalgia appeared on his face, "It's a pity, he is so ruthless, but because of a trivial matter, he was alone, and then he directly threw away the lonely and flew away!" Until now, he still refuses to send even a little news to Lone. He's just so bad-tempered! ”
This doting tone inexplicably made Chunzhi's stomach tumble for a while.
Obviously, both the princesses of Liang and Princess Liang have been harmed by him, but now they have been brought by his understatement of 'a little thing'.
Moreover, King Liang was obviously not happy to have much to do with him, but he still made a look of being happy with King Liang, and even said it at the gate of Jingyang Palace!
Even if there are no outsiders now, then his rhetoric is disgusting enough.
Haruka gritted her teeth, and she clenched her fists to forcibly suppress the urge to rush forward and slap this person.
After Chai Dong heard this, the corners of his mouth also curled up with a playful smile.
"By the way, I just heard a few years ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, that a group of handsome little eunuchs have just been selected in your East Palace, and it seems that someone has sent you a new batch of them after the year? Weichen hasn't congratulated His Royal Highness the Crown Prince yet! He said softly, and then bowed his hand to the prince, "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the prince, please be benevolent." ”
The prince's smiling face froze instantly.
"It's just a few servants waiting, what is there to congratulate?" He said coldly, lowering his voice at the end, "There are so many people, and they can't add up to a finger of him." ”
Although this voice is small, it can also make both Chai Dong and Chunzhi hear it clearly.
Chunzhi's heart immediately sank, and Chai Dong's eyes were cold.
Just when he saw that the palace maid beside Concubine De had come out, he immediately raised his foot. "Weichen still wants to go to see Concubine De, so I will leave first, and I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will forgive the lower officials for being rude."
As he spoke, he had already pulled on the spring branch and walked away directly.
But that's not the end.
Because of the lesson of the little princess's 100th birthday banquet last time, this time the emperor directly brought only a few close people over. The emperor, the empress, the imperial concubine, the concubine, the crown prince, the king of Qin, Chai Dong, Chunzhi and some concubines, princes and princesses, there are less than twenty people in total. Everyone sat in the front hall, there were no separate seats for men and women, and everyone was moving under the emperor's nose.
As a result, both of them are in the same place as the prince. The emperor and Concubine De and the others above were teasing the little princess, and Chunzhi at the bottom found that the prince glanced at them from time to time. Even, the prince took the initiative to toast Chai Dong with a glass of wine!
Chai Dong naturally wants to return the favor.
In this way, the interaction between two people belonging to different camps aroused the minds of everyone present. Even the emperor took his eyes off the little princess.
"Prince, when did you value Chai Aiqing so much?" He asked, surprised.
"Erchen has always valued Chai Yushi!" The prince smiled and said, "At the beginning, when Chai Yushi had not yet participated in the palace examination, Erchen had seen him and had a few words with him. Although in the end he did not agree to enter the East Palace to teach the little emperor grandson to read and learn calligraphy, Erchen still appreciated his talent very much. What's more, he has been an official in the DPRK for more than two years, and his achievements are also remarkable. Who doesn't like such talents? ”
"The prince is right!" The emperor laughed again when he heard this, "Chai Aiqing is indeed talented, and I like him too!" With his ability, it is absolutely not a problem to enter the cabinet in the future. ”
"Your Majesty!" When Concubine De on the side heard this, she hurriedly became angry, "Little brother, he is still young, and he has only been an official for less than three years, and his experience and qualifications are far from enough, so don't praise him." Otherwise, if he gets carried away now, what will he do later? ”
"Ai Concubine, you're just too cautious!" When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but turn around and smile at Concubine De, "Who is Chai Aiqing, I know it in my heart." This compliment is nothing to him, so he won't float up indiscriminately, Chai Aiqing, what do you say? ”
Being named by the emperor, Chai Dong hurriedly got up. "What the emperor said is that Weichen has always known his identity, and he must abide by his duty, and he will never get carried away."
"Look!" The Emperor smiled again.
Concubine De lowered her head. "The concubine is just worried."
"Okay, okay, I got it." The Emperor nodded hurriedly, and hurriedly and gently comforted her.
Over the past year, the relationship between these two people has not only not faded, but because of the two little princesses, it looks better and better!
But Chunzhi and Chai Dong were not happy. Because—
Just as the crown prince stood up to speak for Chai Dong, the eyes of the two people of King Qin and Princess Qin stabbed at them like knives!
As the crown prince and the emperor talked and laughed, and then Concubine De made the emperor laugh, and then praised Chai Dong over and over again, the eyes of these two people became more fierce.
In the end, it was the imperial concubine who coughed lightly. "Chai Yushi is indeed a talent, he has done very well in the Yushitai in the past two years, and the King of Qin has said to his concubines more than once, he feels that Chai Yushi is definitely capable of becoming the Yushi of Zuodu! Emperor, what do you say? ”
King Qin retracted his gaze and got up to answer. "Erchen did say such a thing."
"Well, Chai Aiqing's pen is sharp, and it is indeed suitable for doing imperial history. In the future, if you can really do the imperial history of the left capital, it will be good. The emperor bowed his head and seemed to agree with King Qin's words.
A smile appeared on King Qin's face at this time.
But after sitting down, he couldn't help but glance at Chai Dong again, his eyes full of warnings.
Chunzhi's heart immediately colded.
Is King Qin starting to be suspicious? Think Chai Dong is going to switch to the prince's side?
Well, looking at the appearance of the prince talking and laughing with Chai Dong at the gate of Jingyang Palace just now, and praising Chai Dong in front of the emperor just now, Chunzhi didn't believe it.
But does he really regard Chai Dong as his own? Harukeda didn't believe it even more. Chai Dong is not a person who will change his attitude casually.
So this person is definitely brewing some conspiracy in his stomach!
She hurriedly raised her eyes to look at the prince, and saw that the prince was holding a wine glass in his hand, but his eyes were still slowly scanning Chai Dong's side. The triumph and provocation in his eyes made Harue feel a sigh in his heart!
This person he did it on purpose, absolutely!
