50. Appointments
The news in the capital has always spread quickly, and Emperor Chu Yingli also knew about it as Wang Jin had planned. Of course, Zhang Xiaotian is indispensable to add fuel to the fire.
"Your Highness, why did you take this matter?"
Emperor Chu Yingli attached more and more importance to the matter of 'Xiangrui' under Zhang Xiaotian's bewitchment, and at this time, when he heard this matter in a small county town with no name, he naturally couldn't sit still.
On the morning of the second day when Chu Yingli knew about this matter, the emperor directly appointed the courtiers to go in person, but because the court had already divided several factions, except for Chu Ci who took the initiative to ask Ying, there was no second person who was interested.
And Chu Ci's initiative made Zhang Xiaotian look at him for a long time, and after seriously thinking that he and Qin Fengyi really had no intersection, he didn't stop him.
- It's just a prince who wants to curry favor with Chu Yingli in front of him, it's not a threat.
"Cows and sheep dancing is so rare, don't you want to see it?" Chu Ci was undeniable to his confidant Li Xi's question, "Don't think so much, it's better for me to go than others." ”
"Well, it's an ally, isn't it?"
Chu Ci was talking about Qin Fengyi, and Li Xi also understood.
But even so, Li Xi did not approve of Chu Ci's personal trip.
The prince's movements are getting bigger and bigger now, and he is clearly standing with Zhang Xiaotian's traitorous ministers, if they turn their heads to deal with Chu Ci, wouldn't they-
"The second child is not a fuel-efficient lamp." Chu Ci knew what Li Xi was thinking, "With him here, the prince and Zhang Xiaotian don't have the courage to go too far." ”
"It's not good to expose your back to your rival just to deal with an idle prince like me, right?"
Chu Ci smiled slightly, which was also the reason why Zhang Xiaotian didn't think much about it.
After all, Chu Ci's fun-loving temperament is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and even the battle for the throne among several princes does not regard him as an enemy. Although Zhang Xiaotian was still faintly wary of Chu Ci, if compared with Qin Fengyi and the second prince, this concern for him was really nothing.
"That being said, you can't go wrong with a little more consideration."
Li Xi pondered for a moment, still disagreeing with Chu Ci personally going to a little-known small county town. Although Qin Fengyi, the prince of the Hou Mansion, is also there, the identity of the prince is more important than the prince, and his head can be distinguished as long as his head is normal.
Even if Chu Ci is an idle and idle prince in the eyes of everyone, it is more important than a mere prince.
What's more, the Hou Mansion has now almost become a thorn in the emperor's flesh and a thorn in his eye.
"Lixi." Chu Ci squinted his eyes and stared at Li Xi for a long time, until he saw that Li Xi's scalp was numb, and then said slowly: "You are getting more and more verbose now." ”
After speaking, Chu Ci didn't want to talk to him more, and turned to leave.
Since you have decided to go in person, it is better to leave early.
Moreover, Chu Cike was extremely curious about the girl Qin Fengyi liked, and just wanted to see it earlier, so as to take a good look at what was worthy of someone as cold as Qin Fengyi.
Qin Fengyi's guy looks like a gentle and handsome boy, but he is cold and cold-hearted.
According to the report of the spies, since the original wife of the Hou Mansion is gone, Qin Fengyi's temperament can be said to have changed greatly, from a crying and noisy little prince to a son-in-law like jade.
What happened in it, I'm afraid only Qin Fengyi himself knows.
"Your Highness, the lady of the Hou Mansion sent a letter to me, saying that you could please open it in person." It's easy
When Chu Ci returned to his mansion, the guards at the gate of the mansion walked quickly in front of Chu Ci with a gilded envelope, and his posture was extremely respectful.
"Mrs. Houfu?"
After hearing this, the corners of Chu Ci's lips hooked slightly, and he seemed to be extremely interested in this letter.
"This Wang family really has some skills." Chu Ci stretched out his hand to take the letter and slowly opened it as he spoke, "The matter of cattle and sheep was passed on by her, right?" ”
"Yes." Li Xi also gave an affirmative answer when he heard Chu Ci speak, after the news came out, Li Xi had already begun to investigate, if he hadn't inquired early enough, he wouldn't have been able to find out that the person was Wang Jin's person.
I have to admit that Wang Jin's ability is indeed not small.
Of course, it can also be said that Zhang Xiaotian's ability is indeed not small.
"Tsk." Chu Ci sneered coldly after reading the letter, and then casually put the letter in Li Xi's hand, and motioned for Li Xi to dispose of the letter, "It's really a fool to be a fool." ”
"How is Your Highness ready?" Li Xi naturally saw the content of the letter clearly, "Reject it directly or treat it as if you haven't seen it for the time being?" ”
Wang Jin wanted Chu Ci to 'invite' Zhou Yunxi to live in the capital, and it was self-evident what his purpose was. And Zhou Yunxi has a lot to do with Qin Fengyi, if Chu Ci is really like this, I am afraid that Qin Fengyi will be completely offended.
"Naturally, it should be done."
Chu Ci smiled, looking harmless.
"Shall I go?" Li Xi was full of doubts after hearing Chu Ci's words, "Your Highness is not with Qin Shizi...... Why are you going to help that lady now? ”
Li Xi's words made Chu Ci laugh silently, and it wasn't until the two of them walked to the backyard that Chu Ci stopped, picked a delicate chrysanthemum and put it in Li Xi's hand.
"Chrysanthemum tea can be made during this time." Chu Ci looked at the gradually darkening sky, "Remember, don't let others dye your hands, so as not to get moths." ”
These words flashed a flash of inspiration in Li Xi's mind, and then he responded seriously.
Yes, if Chu Ci pretended not to see it or directly refused, then Wang Jin would definitely think of other ways. Even so, it is better to respond directly to Chu Ci, and it is also a provincial extraneous branch.
As for that Miss Zhou......
Mo said that Chu Ci is extremely interested in Zhou Yunxi now, and with Wang Jin's appearance, Li Xi also has some curiosity about Zhou Yunxi.
"Your Highness, do you think the matter of cows and sheep dancing can be trusted?"
Li Xi pondered that the reason why everyone noticed Zhou Yunxi was those dancing cattle and sheep, and he was also a little curious at this time. After living for more than 20 years, he really had never seen a dancing livestock.
At most, it's just some somersault monkeys and tigers.
"Who knows?" Chu Ci has always been good-tempered to his henchmen, "There is no ground, but the three of them become tigers, who knows what things are?" ”
Saying that, Chu Ci waved his hand and said, "Okay, go and prepare, and leave tonight." ”
Hearing this, Li Xi didn't say anything more, and quickly retreated after answering the words.
Although this trip will not be too dangerous, since you are going to go far away, you need to be fully prepared. Even if the crown prince and the second prince didn't have the leisure to make a move against Chu Ci, if one of them was forced to be in a hurry, who knows if they would use Chu Ci as a bargaining chip?
Moreover, although Wang Jin's goal is to see what Zhou Yunxi looks like, Chu Ci and Li Xi know what they actually want.
