Chapter 45, Temptation
In the study, under the yellow candlelight, Du Chengqian was pacing slowly in the study, looking thoughtful.
It wasn't until he heard footsteps at the door that he slowly stopped, turned around, and the long beard under his chin was windless.
Du Ruoruo walked into the study with light steps, and Chun Tao was waiting outside the door.
Du Ruoruo gracefully made a blessing: "Say hello to my father, I don't know why my father is looking for Ruoruo?" ”
"Sit down first!"
Du Ruoruo took off her cloak, walked to the chair, and sat down gently.
Du Chengqian's expression was serious: "What is your relationship with His Royal Highness King Li?" Why did he invite you to the palace of King Li? ”
Du Ruoruo knew that he would definitely ask these questions, but he should have known with his feet.
"Back to my father, I became friends with His Royal Highness King Li by chance, so the relationship is relatively good."
She couldn't figure out Du Chengqian's side, so she didn't dare to speak lightly.
Du Chengqian was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Ruoruo, it is better to have less contact with His Royal Highness King Li in the future!" ”
Now the situation is a little chaotic, although the emperor has appointed Murong Qian as the crown prince, he loves the third prince Murong Xiu even more.
Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, the emperor knew that Murong Qian was decisive and resolute, but he was too suspicious and the city government was quite deep.
When the first queen gave birth to Lin'er Murong Qian, it was difficult to be in danger, the emperor and the first queen had a deep relationship, in order to appease the first queen, Murong Qian was immediately appointed as the prince, but unfortunately the first queen still died in childbirth.
The second prince and the third prince were born to the current queen, and the two brothers are naturally closer.
The third prince Murong Xiu is modest, full of poetry and books, although he has the heart of the world, but because the emperor has already set up a prince, he deliberately hides the light, but he has a little more unworldly temperament, so as not to cause discussion in the court.
Although the second prince Murong Chen has a weak temperament, he has a dark and cold belly, which makes people unable to see clearly, no one dares to approach, although he is talented, he never cares about political affairs, eats, drinks and has fun all day long, is romantic, often wanders around, and when he goes, he is a month, and he is the prince who is the least optimistic about the ministers.
Therefore, Murong Qian has always regarded Murong Xiu as a strong enemy, because the emperor likes it too much, he has a sense of crisis, as for Murong Chen, I don't know why Murong Qian is a little afraid, so he never dares to provoke.
Du Chengqian is now a confidant of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is at odds with Murong Xiu, so he naturally doesn't want Du Ruoruo to have any dealings with His Royal Highness King Li, let alone further development.
As soon as Du Chengqian's words came out, Du Ruoruo understood that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness King Li were not on the same team, but she didn't care about these, what did she have to do with it?
However, Du Ruoruo still looked obedient: "Yes, my daughter remembers her father's teachings!" ”
Du Chengqian nodded reassuringly, but he still couldn't help but want to ask Du Ruoruo's thoughts.
"Ruoruo, do you like the crown prince or the king of Li?"
Du Ruoruo understood, Du Chengqian must have thought that she was a scheming woman who was bent on climbing power and attaching nobility, so she asked so.
What did my father say? I don't like anyone, I don't know His Royal Highness the Prince, and as for King Li, we are just friends. ”
Du Chengqian looked at Du Ruoruo suspiciously: "Don't you have any ideas?" ”
Du Ruoruo is not stupid, so she naturally understands what Du Chengqian is referring to, but she can only pretend to be stupid.
"What thoughts? Why is Daddy talking weird today? ”
Seeing Du Ruoruo's innocent appearance, Du Chengqian wondered if he was thinking too much.
"That's it, that's it, you just need to remember Daddy's advice today."
"Daddy!"
"Alright, it's getting late, let's go back to sleep!"
"Daddy went to bed early, too! If you quit! ”
Du Chengqian nodded, and Du Ruoruo slowly retreated.
It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, it is better to save some money as soon as possible and leave secretly, she does not want to become a pawn in their struggle for power.
