A one-sided farce ended in the end by making everyone unhappy.

This night, neither Du Xiaomeng nor Zhan Qi could get a good night's sleep. Du Xiaomeng was so angry that she couldn't sleep, while Zhan Qi was so blocked that she couldn't sleep peacefully.

When he tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't close his eyes, he remembered that he had just forgotten to ask Du Xiaomeng where he got the money to buy a house. Buying a house in the capital is not like buying a vegetable in the vegetable market, and it is impossible to buy it without a certain amount of money. Du Xiaomeng, a helpless woman, where else can she get a sum of money to buy a house? Thinking about it, it is absolutely impossible for the money to be scraped from the sky, and the only possibility is that Yu Tianzheng gave her money.

Although Yu Tianzheng has always been generous, and Du Xiaomeng has shared hardships with Xiao Xiaorui, hasn't Yu Tianzheng already given a thank you gift before? Besides, the money to buy a house is not a small amount, and he may give a large sum of money to a woman who is not a friend of him for no reason? Zhan Qi suddenly thought that after Du Xiaomeng's identity was revealed, he had complained to Yu Tianzheng, and at that time, Yu Tianzheng seemed to have tested the relationship between him and Du Xiaomeng intentionally or unintentionally, and also asked a lot about Du Xiaomeng. Could it be that Yu Tianzheng has long been interested in Du Xiaomeng? Arrived early enough to exist before Du Xiaomeng's identity was revealed?

Thinking of this, Zhan Qi felt that he had finally figured out the question of where Du Xiaomeng's money came from. However, after figuring it out, my heart felt even more blocked. He couldn't figure out why he felt blocked, something that didn't have much to do with him, why should he be unhappy? However, having said that, when he thought of Yu Tianzheng and Du Xiaomeng, he couldn't feel better, but he still couldn't control his net thinking about the two of them.

stayed up until dawn, Zhan Qi, who hadn't slept well all night and was still in a panic, went to the court listlessly. Throughout the early dynasty, from the beginning to the end, he was absent-minded.

After withdrawing from the hall, Yu Tianzheng walked to Zhan Qi's side and asked with concern: "Look at your listlessness today, is there something wrong?" ”

Zhan Qi raised his eyes to look at him, an uncomfortable look flashed on his face, and he quickly lowered his head and replied in a muffled voice, "It's okay." With that, he buried his head and walked forward, and said no more.

Yu Tianzheng shrugged his shoulders, as if he didn't stay at his mercy, and didn't ask any more questions, just followed his pace and walked forward side by side with him.

He is not in a hurry, he knows that Zhan Qi is a character who can't hide his thoughts, and he will take the initiative to find him if he doesn't have to ask after him after a while.

As expected, the two walked all the way to the outside of the palace without speaking, and when Yu Tianzheng was about to board the carriage, Zhan Qi followed and jumped into the carriage one step ahead of him.

Yu Tianzheng smiled and got into the car again, sat opposite Zhan Qi, and said, "Go to the old place for a drink?" ”

Zhan Qi nodded.

The old place is a tavern called "Forget Worries and Little Building", which is not very far from the palace. Both of them are regular customers there, and after entering the door, they don't need to be greeted by the shopkeeper to go straight to the wing room on the second floor.

said that he was here to have a drink, but the shopkeeper brought not wine, but tea. This is the habit of Yu Tianzheng and Zhan Qi, if they are busy with business during the day, they will never touch the wine.

Yu Tianzheng sat there and slowly peeled peanuts. His action of peeling peanuts is very elegant, not like he is peeling peanuts, but like massaging peanuts. Sitting next to him and watching him peel peanuts would surely be a pleasure to the eye.

However, Zhan Qi, who was sitting across from him, obviously didn't come to appreciate him peeling peanuts.

Zhan Qi buried his head in picking up cup after cup of tea and poured it into his mouth, the posture was definitely like a person who came to borrow wine to kill his sorrows. Yu Tianzheng ignored him and sat there concentrating on peeling peanuts.

After a long while, there were already more than half a plate of peanuts on the plate in front of Yu Tianzheng, and Zhan Qi also poured more than ten or twenty cups of tea.

Zhan Qi finally put down the teacup, stared at Yu Tianzheng's face and asked, "What's the matter between you and Du Xiaomeng?" ”

Yu Tianzheng put down the peanuts in his hand, took the clean wet handkerchief on the table and wiped his hands before replying, "For now, it's a friend." But......" He raised his eyes to look at Zhan Qi, pursed his lips and smiled beautifully, "I like her, and have the idea of making her the mistress of the Rui Palace." ”

"The mistress of the Rui Palace?" Zhan Qi was obviously shocked by Yu Tianzheng's words, he stared at Yu Tianzheng's face for a long time before he reacted and asked, "However, will the emperor agree with you to appoint a woman from a humble background as a concubine?" ”

It's not that he looks down on Du Xiaomeng's background, if it was someone else sitting in front of him today, he wouldn't say such a thing. However, the person sitting in front of him now is the current His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the future emperor, and the rules and regulations of the royal family are standing there, and you can't say that you can't see it and bypass it. Taking Yu Tianzheng's biological mother as an example, although she gave birth to a son for the emperor, because her background was too humble, even if her mother was expensive by virtue of her son, she could only get the title of "beauty" with the lowest rank of harem concubines, until her own son was canonized as the crown prince, she was canonized as a concubine, but her status was much lower than that of the queen and other concubines and concubines.

Du Xiaomeng really followed Yu Tianzheng in the future, not to mention the name, even if she is nameless and has no share, in the eyes of the world, especially in the eyes of the royal family, she is an ancestor who doesn't know how much merit she has accumulated to climb such a high branch. Now Yu Tianzheng said that he wanted her to be the mistress of Rui Wangfu, that is, he wanted to make her the crown princess. The crown princess is someone who may become the queen in the future, and the emperor will allow his son to have a woman from a bad background as the concubine? That's impossible.

Yu Tianzheng knew what Zhan Qi was thinking. He put away his smile and said seriously: "As long as Xiaomeng is willing, no matter how noble her background is, I can give her the most prominent family background." ”

When Zhan Qi heard this, he was stunned.

That's right, with Yu Tianzheng's ability, it will definitely not be difficult to arrange a reasonable identity for Du Xiaomeng.

Yu Tianzheng looked at Zhan Qi, a shallow smile appeared on his face, and he seemed to ask casually: "Brother Zhan, you are absent-minded today, but it is for Xiaomeng's business?" ”

Zhan Qi retracted his thoughts, hesitated for a moment and replied, "Yes." He knew that any cover-up in front of Yu Tianzheng was superfluous.

Yu Tianzheng smiled deeper, looked directly into Zhan Qi's eyes, and said in an affirmative tone with other meanings: "Brother Wei is serious about Xiaomeng. ”

Zhan Qi has known him for many years, how could he not know what he was referring to.

He looked at Yu Tianzheng's face, and after a long while, he withdrew his gaze and coughed dryly, smiled a little reluctantly and said, "It's good that Brother Yu is serious about her." She lived in the General's Mansion for a while, although I have nothing to do with her, but you all know, my father treats her as if she is his own daughter, and even my own son has to stand aside. I now treat her as family, and I hope she can find a good home. ”

Yu Tianzheng heard the uncomfortable tone in Zhan Qi's words, but he pretended not to notice. He, the brother, should not have realized the true thoughts in his heart. However, he himself said it himself before, he didn't mean anything else about the impostor, and there was no unclear relationship between them. Since this is the case, why should he, who is the elder brother, break it and make it difficult for his brother?

He only thought about Du Xiaomeng after getting Zhan Qi's affirmative answer. He won't do anything to rob his brother's wife, but he won't allow his brother to have other thoughts about the woman he likes, even if not at all, unless the woman says she doesn't like him and don't be with him.
