Chapter 764: Taking the Initiative (30)
The prince narrowed his eyes, "This is the wine sent by Qu Xiaobai?" Didn't Princess Changle say that this was the wine from a restaurant called Ling Han Xiang Liquor that she met in Shenchuankou County? ”
Yang Ling picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and the corners of his mouth were cold, "Ling Hanxiang is Xiaobai's name, didn't you find it, is there a Ling character in it?" ”
"Do you really dare to say it, aren't you afraid that Princess Changle will be angry when she hears it?"
"Why is she angry?" Yang Ling said it rightly.
Qu Xiaobai watched and listened quietly, sipping the wine in the cup. The few jars of wine she gave to the emperor that day seemed to be the Ling Hanxiang she treasured, and the genuine good wine was all reserved for Yang Ling, and these jars for the emperor were given by her distressed for several days.
The prince twitched the corner of his mouth, "Princess Changle knows that the wine she offers is from your wife's hand, so she is not angry?" He glanced at Princess Changle. Princess Changle was expressionless and drinking.
Yang Ling said: "Xiaobai's wine shop has been preparing since last year, and it has not yet been officially listed, so I want to find an opportunity to make this wine a blockbuster and become a good wine that everyone in the world wants to ask for." She was pregnant and it was inconvenient to enter Beijing, so she asked me, and when I went to the border to pick up Changle, I thought of such an idea and asked Changle to help. ”
"Princess Changle is really helpful, now that she is with my emperor, she can help generously, which is really admirable."
Qu Xiaobai sipped wine and complained coldly: "What is there to admire?" Since I have followed Prince Ling, I will be a family in the future, and of course I have to help with the family's business. Isn't there a saying in your Daliang that fertilizer and water do not flow into outsiders' fields? I call this the fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders. ”
The corners of the prince's mouth twitched.
What does it mean that it is not a family that does not enter the door? This is a living example.
He was only a little puzzled about this matter at first, and he didn't doubt Qu Xiaobai's identity. After this gag, he didn't have the heart to suspect anything.
Originally, I wanted to use this matter to set up a set of Yang Ling, so I could only stop there.
Fortunately, he didn't invite Yang Ling to come today for this matter.
"Regarding the candidate to serve as the governor's envoy, I don't know if the emperor's brother has any plans?"
The prince knew that Yang Ling didn't like to beat around the bush, so he asked bluntly.
Yang Ling replied lightly: "I'm just a newcomer to the court, and I can't even recognize people, what can I do?" Besides, isn't this matter already handed over to the Holy Lord, so why should I worry about it anymore? ”
The crown prince said: "Although this is the case, aren't you afraid that your father will give that position to the Rong family?" ”
The prince is also straightforward. Yang Ling glanced at him, sneered lightly, and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, the emperor has the final say in this matter, and whoever the emperor says is suitable, then whoever is suitable." If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to me specifically for this matter, it will disappoint you, and I don't want to talk about things related to the court outside the court. ”
He originally wanted to get up and leave, but seeing Qu Xiaobai eating happily in front of a plate of chilled pears on the side, he didn't move, and handed a plate of cold ice vegetables to her.
She belongs to the rabbit, and she loves to eat these grasses.
"It's really good, it's such a luxurious restaurant, and the things made are delicious." Qu Xiaobai praised while eating, and at the same time humbly asked the prince: "Why doesn't Prince Lu eat?" It's a pity not to eat such a good dish, in Diyi, waste is a punishment. ”
Lu Feiyi was surprised: "Why, Di Yi actually has such a criminal law?" ”
"No, Diyi's grain is not so abundant, and my father has already ordered that waste will be resolutely eliminated. In fact, it is not only because the grain is not abundant, but mainly because my father respects the labor of his people, and knows that food is not easy to come by, and all kinds of labor fruits are not easy to come by, so he resolutely put an end to waste. ”
It's true that Di Yi people don't like to waste, but there is no sentence to say, Qu Xiaobai recorded this glorious deed on Xiao Tianding's head, and he was very good in front of Lu Feiyi.
"I didn't expect there to be such a criminal law, but it's really a good law."
Lu Feiyi sighed, probably because of Qu Xiaobai's words to eliminate waste, he also picked up chopsticks and began to eat.
Qu Xiaobai took a bite of Sydney pear and said: "After ordering such a table of dishes, it seems that the three of them can't finish it, why don't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince call the three princes next door to come over?" ”
The prince was slightly surprised, "Is the teacher here too?" ”
Li Yun, who was standing on the side, nodded: "I met in the corridor just now, and it was in the private room next door." ”
The prince's face was obviously not good-looking, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Li Yun, invite him over." ”
Li Yun was so angry in his heart. There are people who are invited now, why did you have to throw people away just now? Isn't that redundant?
Qu Xiaobai glanced at Li Yun's incomprehensible look when he left, and his heart had been following the prince for a long time, and everyone was really stupid. Just wanted to break him away because she and Yang Ling didn't understand the current situation, and now let him come over just to let the prince understand that he was surrounded by tigers and wolves, and this third prince was not a peaceful person.
Li Yun quickly invited the third prince, and the prince said: "Princess Changle said that food can't be wasted, so I invited you to come along." ”
Third Prince: "...... what the hell is this reason?" Which one of these private rooms isn't a big guy? Do you still care about such a table of dishes?
The third prince looked disdainful, "It seems that Di Yi's life is not too rich, even Princess Changle is so diligent and thrifty." ”
Qu Xiaobai replied to him indifferently: "No, it's too far worse than your country's abundant products." ”
Yang Ling said: "The third prince has never been out of Beijing in his life, right?" ”
This didn't sound pleasant, a bit like sarcasm, the third prince sat down opposite Yang Ling, raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, "What does Emperor Ling mean?" ”
Yang Ling gave a cup of iced sour plum soup to Qu Xiaobai, and then said, "It doesn't mean anything, it's literal." Perhaps you can ask your well-informed crown prince brother what the outside world is like. ”
The third prince said: "I understand what you mean, isn't it the matter that the courtiers in the court said that the people live in dire straits, are poorly clothed and hungry?" Not to mention what intentions these courtiers have, exaggerating the suffering of individual people as if everyone in the world has suffered, just say that those people, who have hands and feet, why are they worse than others? It's not because they're not diligent! ”
Qu Xiaobai laughed angrily at his remarks, and shook the spoon containing the soup in his hand, and the soup in the spoon spilled out, Yang Ling hurriedly took Juan Pa to help her wipe a little soup stain on her sleeve, "Don't be careful." ”
"No, I just think it's funny. I heard that the third prince is the most well-informed person in Beijing, and he can't get around the third prince for anything, but today he has learned it. Oh, by the way, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I heard Prince Ling say, you have lived in Nanping for three years, you should be familiar with Nanping, right? ”
"What, has Princess Changle also been to Nanping?"
"I haven't been. Di Yi and Da Liang fight all year round, and the border pass is sealed to death, not to mention me, even a soldier, it is impossible to cross the pass into the territory of Da Liang. I just want to ask, Prince Lu should know Nanping very well, I also want to know about Nanping, Yang Ling is from Nanping, he will return to Nanping in the future, I will definitely go with him. ”
Her words gave too much information, and the crown prince and the third prince had a good taste.
Yang Ling smiled faintly and said, "If you want to know about Nanping, ask me, I have lived in Nanping for twenty years, don't I know more than His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”
Qu Xiaobai looked at him and smiled: "I can't believe you, you must be a good one, coax me to go to Nanping with you, I want to listen to His Royal Highness the Prince, I trust what he said." ”
Yang Ling was slightly vinegared: "Am I the one who will lie to you?" Did I lie to you? ”
"And how did you get me?"
"Naturally, it's because I was born in the wind and have good skills."
Prince Lu Feiyi: ......
The Third Prince, Lu Gon: ......
This mouthful of dog food is really full.
Qu Xiaobai glanced at him disdainfully, and turned his gaze to Prince Lu Feiyi, "Prince Lu, what kind of place is Nanping like?" ”
What kind of place is Nanping? Lu Feiyi glanced at Yang Ling. Originally, he could have helped Yang Ling deceive this princess of Di Yi without telling the truth, so that he could get this princess comfortably and smoothly, but after seeing Yang Ling's disdainful eyes, he changed his mind.
"Nanping, located in the northernmost part of Daliang, remote, with a harsh climate, the people live in hardship, and have been bullied by your country for many years, I have not seen the people have a good life in the three years I have been. Especially from last year to this year, after the war, there was a snow disaster, and Kaichun suffered from the plague again, alas......"
Qu Xiaobai said: "In that case, aren't the people of Nanping having a miserable life? She deliberately glanced at the Third Prince.
The third prince turned his face away and sneered in embarrassment.
The prince nodded: "So to speak." ”
Qu Xiaobai said again: "His Royal Highness Prince Lu has been in Nanping for three years, and he hasn't sought any benefits for the people of Nanping?" ”
Yang Ling couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Lu Feiyi's face turned red, and he was really angry at the mouth of this Princess Diyi, but he couldn't stop her mouth, so he could only smile awkwardly, and explained: "Because of some special reasons, there is no way to show up. However, Princess Changle said very well, it was my dereliction of duty not to do more for the people of Nanping. ”
Qu Xiaobai said seemingly casually: "In fact, it's not too late to make amends." If you really want to do things for the people, it's never too late, Prince Lu, don't you say? ”
"Princess Changle said very well." Lu Feiyi couldn't help but sigh lightly. was educated by a princess of Fanbang, and he was really uncomfortable, but it was precisely because of his own shortcomings that he let the family grab the pigtails, and he had nothing else to say.
