Chapter 198: Find a way
After the prince answered, he immediately went to the direction where Wen Qiao and Zhao Qingyan left, and when the emperor saw it, he stood in place, his body slightly bent, and his expression was helpless.
As soon as the prince followed Wen Qiao and Zhao Qingyan, he found that the two of them were not going back to the Huai'en Marquis Mansion at all, but going in the other direction.
Seeing the way the two were talking, they all went in the other direction, and the prince felt that it might have been discussed a long time ago.
Seeing that the figures of the two disappeared in front of him, without thinking too much, the prince followed the two and continued to go. Seeing that the two came to a small house on the outskirts of Beijing.
A small mansion can no longer be regarded as a small mansion, the prince thinks.
It was just a place where people could live, and there was no mystery about it, and even the prince had already thought of the dilapidated house being eroded by wind and rain.
Outside, you can almost see Wen Qiao and Zhao Qingyan talking to an old woman in the house, and the prince is standing outside.
Fortunately, the sun was just right today, otherwise he would have come out in a hurry and didn't bring an umbrella, and it would be completely inconvenient when it rained. The prince looked at the sun above his head and thought.
"Grandma, just let me do this, you can rest first." Zhao Qingyan saw that her grandmother was lifting a heavy object, and hurriedly said. The grandmother didn't seem to hear it, and continued to bend down.
Seeing this grandma like this, Wen Qiao also stepped forward to help grandma carry it.
When Grandma saw it, she was full of smiles, and when she smiled, the wrinkles were stacked. "What a good boy." After a while, he sighed and said, "Grandma is old, so I still have to let you young men come." ”
seemed to hear grandma's self-pity voice, and Zhao Qingyan, who was in the house, said again: "Grandma is not old, grandma can accompany us for a long time." ”
Finally, she looked at Wen Qiao again and blinked. "Husband, did you say that?"
Seeing Zhao Qingyan's appearance, Wen Qiao stood there and nodded.
"Now that Qingyan also has the right to be a housekeeper, we can also come to see grandma from time to time, grandma, if you have any needs, just tell us, don't you have to know?" Wen Qiao said, putting the heavy object where her grandmother was pointing, and the words were addressed to her grandmother.
"Hi," Grandma smiled. "I used to always say that light smoke is light smoke and that, light smoke is already very good without complaining, how dare I pursue more?"
The prince listened over there, and felt that they seemed to be very familiar, at least very familiar with each other, and couldn't help but feel a little strange.
If you talk about this Zhao Qingyan, since she married into the Huaienhou Mansion, he didn't pay much attention to her, but often ignored her, just because Wen Qiao didn't like her at that time.
But if it is put to this point, the prince feels that he needs to pay more attention, since this old grandmother has something to do with Zhao Qingyan, then Wen Qiao should also pay special attention.
It would be better to find out the origin of this old woman now. The prince thought, but stayed where he was.
He still has to see if there will be any changes, otherwise it will be bad if the hot face sticks to the cold butt at that time, and it will not be good if the demand is not right. If you want Wen Qiao to be on their side, then it's not bad to start with the people around him.
The prince looked at the old grandmother dressed in coarse linen and thought. He felt that this was a good object, at least it could let him into Wen Qiao's sight, and it wouldn't make Wen Qiao doubt too much.
Of course, the premise is that he wants to lead Wen Qiao to say it, if he says it, it is too deliberate, too suspicious, and too cheap.
"Okay, it's not too early, I'll go cook dinner."
"Grandma, I'll follow you."
Zhao Qingyan gave her grandmother a hand, and the dishes they made were very ordinary, but they were also delicious.
Seeing that the two of them finished a coarse tea and light meal at the grandmother's place, they went back, and the prince didn't stay long.
After all, Wen Qiao's observation is not fake, if he finds out, he will definitely be suspicious, and it will not be good to do what he wants to do at that time.
The abacus in the prince's heart rang loudly, and he was bent on helping Wen Qiao to get his help.
Although the matter on the third prince's side has been settled now, if he does not continue to bring Wen Qiao under his command, if the red man in front of the emperor is replaced by another person, then everything will have to start again.
"Are you sure that's what it looks like?"
In the study of the Prince's Mansion, the Prince sat on the golden backrest seat, and a retinue knelt in front of him.
When the entourage heard this, he immediately replied: "The minions have all inquired and understood, and that's it." Zhao Qingyan was driven to the suburbs of Beijing after marrying Wen Qiao, and the old man in the suburbs of Beijing had helped Zhao Qingyan before, so he must have been kind to Zhao Qingyan. That's why the scene you saw happened, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”
Seeing that his entourage also said so, the prince thought for a moment. "This Zhao Qingyan, when she got the right to be a housekeeper, she went to visit her, which was a little too real. Although he said that he had helped, he would put the kindness of others in his heart, and he must be a person who knows how to repay his kindness. ”
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, it just so happened that Wen Qiao and Zhao Qingyan discussed changing the old man's house. If you make good use of it, presumably Wen Qiao will return to your side with His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
The entourage was a good-talking one, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded when he heard it: "Not bad." Then prepare a carriage for Prince Ben immediately, and Prince Ben will go to the Marquis of Huaien's Mansion for a trip. ”
When I learned that the prince came to Huaienhou Mansion, Wen Qiao was in the study, and originally thought that Zhao Qingyan would also go to see Wen Qiao together, but when he went out, he found that Zhao Qingyan had gone out with Wen Zichen, so he could only want people to entertain the prince.
Wen Qiao came, saw the prince, and after saluting, asked: "I don't know what is the matter with the prince, and I need to come to the Huai'en Marquis Mansion to talk about it in person?" ”
The person next to him presented tea, and the prince motioned to put it on the table beside him, facing Wen Qiao and said, "Actually, this prince just wants to ask if you have any trouble recently?" ”
"Why do you say that?"
The prince groaned for a moment and said, "Since you left the palace that day, this prince learned from the guards that you have not returned to the palace, why is this?" But what's the trouble? ”
Wen Qiao thought about what he had discussed with Zhao Qingyan before, and said with a smile: "I'm ashamed, His Royal Highness the Prince." That's right, Qingyan deliberately wanted to find a house, and we were looking for a house that day. ”
Hearing this, the prince also knew each other and didn't ask too much. It's already good to be able to let Wen Qiao say this, if he is allowed to say it again, I'm afraid that it is not only inconvenient to say more about the grandmother, but also easy to make him suspicious of himself.
The prince picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip. "Do you need my help? In terms of the inspection of the house, this prince should not lose to you. ”
Those who understand things know what the situation is, so after Wen Qiao thought about it, he immediately said, "Then I will thank the prince first." ”
