East Palace.

When Shan Wu came back from outside, Jiang Qiancheng was sitting in the courtyard of the East Palace looking at the big tree, there was no emotion on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking at this time.

Shan Wu stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "Your Highness, the third prince went back to his mansion directly after leaving the Five Princes' Mansion, and he has never come out now, in addition, the people who came in and out of his palace also sent people to watch, and a few people were secretly staring at Mingyue Tower, as if they were looking for some news." ”

This is actually within Jiang Qiancheng's expectations, the current third prince definitely doesn't have enough ability, and he can't come up with a suitable way to deal with himself, so he will choose a slightly weaker one, and his sweetheart Yue Qingming will start.

This kind of method is very despicable in Jiang Qiancheng's opinion, and he actually chose a girl to start, but after thinking about it carefully, Yue Qingming is not the kind of character that is easy to deal with, even if the third prince really deals with Yue Qingming, it is impossible to succeed easily, and it may even be counter-killed.

"Your Highness," Yama Wu asked cautiously, "Do we need to tell Miss Yue about this?" After all, it's not a good thing that someone is staring at her, so it's better just in case. ”

"Then tell Ruyi about this, and she will know how to solve it."

"Yes."

"In addition, if it's not something particularly serious, don't go and talk to Yue Qingming, she hasn't been in a very good mood recently, so don't bother her anymore."

"Got it."

After Shan Wu left, Jiang Qiancheng was still standing in the same position, he raised his head and looked at the big tree, closed his eyes and sighed, thinking that after the original prince died, the affairs of the imperial city would be quiet, it seems that he is still too naïve, and now, it is just the beginning.

After standing in the courtyard for a while, Jiang Qiancheng came to his senses and was about to go into the study to read the excerpts, when the great eunuch beside the emperor came, he walked up to Jiang Qiancheng with a smile, saluted respectfully, and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty invites you to go to the imperial study." ”

"Go now?"

"Yes."

"Did my father say it because of something?"

"Your Majesty didn't say it explicitly, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely know after he passes, and please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to move to the East Palace now."

"Got it, let's go."

Jiang Qiancheng is not the kind of person who grinds and chirps, not to mention that the emperor wants to see him, if it is not for something important, the emperor should not call himself to the imperial study to see him at this time.

On the way to the imperial study, Jiang Qiancheng thought about what had happened in the past few days, and probably guessed the purpose of the emperor looking for him to see him, maybe it was because Jiang Qianbai was assassinated last night, or maybe there were still many people dissatisfied with the fact that he became the crown prince.

Jiang Qiancheng followed the big eunuch to stop in front of the imperial study, and the big eunuch said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, wait a minute, the old slave will go in and report." ”

"Hmm."

After the big eunuch went in, he didn't come out quickly, Jiang Qiancheng stood quietly at the door, and he didn't know how long it had been, but he felt that his legs were a little numb, and when he was preparing for the event, the big eunuch walked out of the imperial study, and came out with two palace maids.

Jiang Qiancheng didn't know what they were doing, but he saw the two of them leave in a hurry after coming out of the imperial study.

The big eunuch said to Jiang Qiancheng: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty is inside, please come with the old slave." ”

Pushing open the door and entering, the fragrance inside was a little strong, Jiang Qiancheng squinted his eyes, and suddenly understood why the emperor didn't summon him directly just now, probably flirting with those two young and beautiful palace maids in the imperial study!

The emperor smiled and said, "Old Seven, you are here." ”

"I've been here for a long time, and I've been standing at the door for a long time, doesn't my father know?"

The expression on the emperor's face was slightly embarrassed, but he quickly recovered, and he smiled and said, "Okay, let's not talk about that kind of thing, let's get down to business first, you know about the assassination of the fifth child, right?" ”

"I know, I went to see him earlier, and he was safe and sound, just drank too much."

"Then do you know that there are still many people in the court who are dissatisfied with you?"

"Yes."

The emperor touched his beard and asked him with a slightly serious expression: "Since you know everything, then you don't plan to do something?" If you don't do anything, you won't be able to sit in the position of prince for long! ”

"Erchen doesn't think so."

"Really?" The emperor squinted his eyes, looked at Jiang Qiancheng below, and said, "Then what do you think?" Let's talk about it. ”

"Erchen's opinion is that no matter how many people are dissatisfied with Erchen becoming the prince, they have no way to change this fact, no matter how dissatisfied they are, it is impossible to force Erchen to give up the position of prince."

"Why?"

Jiang Qiancheng smiled suddenly, and asked instead of answering: "Could it be that my father thinks that his sons are easy to bully?" Is it the kind of person who will give up what he has when he is forced to do so? ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, then understood, touched his beard and laughed. Before he asked the big eunuch to call Jiang Qiancheng to the imperial study, he was still worried about whether Jiang Qiancheng could withstand the pressure, but now it seems that this kind of thing is simply his own worry.

Jiang Qiancheng looked directly at the emperor and said, "It seems that now my father already knows what his son's heart thinks, so he must no longer have to worry about his son's affairs, right?" ”

"That's natural."

"In this case, the transaction between Erchen and his father is also going smoothly, I wonder if Erchen can ask his father to agree to one thing for Erchen now?"

"You tell me what it is first, and I'll think about it."

Jiang Qiancheng said: "Father knows that his sons like Yue Qingming, so it is better to directly order his sons to marry Yue Qingming." ”

The smile on the emperor's face subconsciously retracted a little, and the hand touching his beard slowly put it down: "This ......"

The emperor didn't want to beat the mandarin ducks, but now the gap between Jiang Qiancheng's identity and Yue Qingming's identity is too big, not to mention that Jiang Qiancheng is now the target of everyone, so it is not a good thing for him to marry Yue Qingming, and it may also harm others.

Seeing that the emperor was hesitant, Jiang Qiancheng asked, "Is it because of Yue Qingming's identity?" ”

The emperor sighed and said, "Old Seven, to be honest, I am very pleased that you are so dedicated, but with your current status, it is very difficult to protect Yue Qingming and let her be safe and sound in the imperial city, and it is not a wise choice for you to marry her now." ”

Jiang Qiancheng frowned, a little displeased: "Then when is the right time to marry her?" ”

The emperor touched his beard: "When you become emperor." ”
