Chapter 330: Ouchi Guard
"You know me?" The prince's eyes were slightly cold.
"The humble duty was sent by the emperor to protect you and Lord Xiao, and he had no intention of disturbing His Royal Highness's interest, everything is the fault of the humble position, please forgive Your Highness!" The man immediately reported himself to the house.
"Are you your father's man?" The prince was shocked.
"Don't dare to deceive Your Highness!" He is indeed the emperor's subordinate, but his task is not to protect the crown prince and Xiao Hanyin, but to keep an eye on him.
"Impossible, how could my father know that Lone was with Ah Yin, you don't want to quibble in front of Lone!" After the prince was shocked, he immediately noticed the loophole in the other party's statement.
"Don't dare to lie!" The man said respectfully, "There is a token given by the emperor on the humble position, which can prove the identity of the humble position!" ”
He didn't expect that he would be so unlucky today, and he would be discovered by the prince's people so quickly.
When he followed Xiao Hanyin a few days ago, it was always smooth and never went wrong......
At this time, he didn't know it, in fact, Xiao Hanyin had already noticed his existence, but he had never revealed it.
Now that the prince's people have personally caught him, the matter will inevitably be poked out, and Xiao Hanyin wants to see what kind of rhetoric the emperor will use to prevaricate him this time.
Xiao Hanyin sincerely did things for the court, but in exchange for such treatment, how could he be willing in his heart?
Back then, in order to put an end to the use of his biological father, he even did not hesitate to abandon everything and disappeared directly in front of everyone's eyes.
If the emperor insisted on letting people stare at him, he wouldn't sit still all the time.
After all, Xiao Hanyin is never a foolish person!
After the prince personally checked the token on his body, a trace of doubt flashed in his heart.
"You send him out and don't let anyone see it!" After the prince verified his identity, he did not deal with the other party directly, but let his subordinates send him away.
After all, he was a subordinate sent by his father, and if he did too much, he would definitely cause him to be dissatisfied.
"Ah Yin, did you notice it a long time ago?" After the guards took the man away, the prince looked at him suspiciously.
"As soon as I noticed it, His Highness's guards had already told you about it!" Xiao Hanyin naturally wouldn't tell the truth, after all, he secretly used the prince once in this matter.
"I'll ask my father about this later!" The prince has been in the palace for more than 20 years, how can he not see that there is something strange about this matter.
The identity of the other party is indeed the Ouchi guard, but the purpose will definitely not be as simple as he said.
He has always had secret guards and retinues around him, and he never leaves the palace easily, so it is impossible for the emperor to send someone to protect him.
The prince felt that this matter was most likely related to Xiao Hanyin.
However, the man said nothing, and the prince could not tell whether what he said was true or false.
So he planned to go to his father in person to make it clear, I hope things are different from what he imagined, otherwise his behavior is afraid that it will really chill the hearts of loyal ministers.
Xiao Han replied and didn't mention it again.
In fact, he did this just to borrow the prince's hand and knock on the people who followed him, but he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain.
He believes that the prince is not a foolish person, so Xiao Hanyin agrees with his move to find the emperor in his heart, he doesn't want to be a person who is used by the emperor and has nothing left in the end......
After the two went to the banquet scene together, they found that the banquet was completely arranged by the wife of the prime minister of the central and right of the court.
When she saw Xiao Hanyin coming with the prince, her eyes were full of surprise, the protagonist of this banquet was the prince and other women of the right age.
This time the matter was secretly ordered by the emperor, and after the right prime minister agreed, he let his wife arrange it.
The right prime minister's wife has a good status in the imperial city, and many boudoir daughters want to give her some face, so after receiving the invitation, they all came.
At the moment, they want the prince to choose a woman he likes and be his wife, so they are all women from prominent backgrounds in the imperial city.
The emperor wants the crown prince to marry a woman who helps him, after all, even if he ascends the throne in the future, the imperial city will not be peaceful.
He has seven sons, except for the fifth and seventh who have no ambitions, the other princes have not been less stumbling for the prince.
However, the emperor didn't pay attention to their petty fights at all, and he used them as the whetstone of the crown prince......
"Your Highness, Lord Xiao!" Although the wife of the right prime minister was surprised, she quickly reined in her thoughts.
"Lord Xiao is here with Gu today!" After the prince saw the look of the prime minister's wife, he calmly explained.
He didn't want others to misunderstand, Xiao Han's purpose for coming over, after all, he was a family man, and the prince knew that he had only one Liu Qingshao in his heart.
As soon as the prince's words fell, the prime minister's wife silently breathed a sigh of relief.
These are all famous and noble girls carefully selected by the emperor for the prince, so naturally they are close to the prince.
Now, the prince himself said that Xiao Hanyin was just his guard, so that everyone didn't have to care about him, and everyone didn't take him to heart.
However, there are still some women who regret it after learning the purpose of his visit.
In fact, among these dozen women, there happen to be someone who likes Xiao Hanyin.
Although his official position is not high, he is handsome and extraordinary, and he is deeply respected by the prince, and his future is limitless after the prince succeeds to the throne. 398
The prince will only have one wife, two side concubines, and the rest of the backyard women can't get on the jade butterfly.
Even though there may be the possibility of sealing a concubine in the future, there are so many people in the harem, it is still unknown whether they can come out.
What's more, the women in the harem are just superficial scenery, once they lose the favor of the emperor, their lives are similar to that of the cold palace.
Therefore, some women do not want to be the prince's woman.
Although the Xiao family is lonely now, the Xiao Hanyin brothers are both officials in the DPRK and China, and his wife Liu Qingshao's business is booming, and they are not short of silver at all.
has both identity and silver, and his character and appearance are among the best in the imperial city, how can all the women not be tempted.
However, in Xiao Hanyin's heart, there is only his wife, and no one can be as good as his eyes......
Xiao Hanyin has always followed the prince's side, turning a blind eye to those women, in his eyes, except for Liu Qingshao, other women are similar to men.
The prince glanced at the women, and then found a random place to sit down.
Seeing this, the prime minister's wife immediately arranged for several women with high status and outstanding appearance to come over and sit opposite them.
Although men and women are not allowed to get too close to each other due to fame, even when attending banquets, men and women are separated.
However, this incident was secretly instructed by the emperor, and in order to prevent others from spreading the matter, the prime minister's wife was all serving the children of the family.
After the women came over, they saw the handsome and extraordinary prince, and immediately lowered their heads shyly.
They are all carefully cultivated by the family, and they are all familiar with knitting women's red, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
A woman in a large family, from birth, is destined to marry into other families.
Therefore, in order to cultivate them, the family has spent a lot of effort, after all, after they get married, they have to support their mother's family.
The prince was not interested, and chatted with them casually, while Xiao Hanyin sat silently on the side, like a background board, and never spoke.
He was indifferent to those women, and after seeing the impatience in the prince's eyes, he was even more glad that he had met Liu Qingshao early.
Liu Qingshao will never be like these women, she is full of poetry and rules, she is a casual and indifferent person.
However, she also has her own obsession, and that is her business.
They have known each other for so long, Liu Qingshao's preferences, as well as her bottom line, Xiao Hanyin is clear.
The husband and wife have always been very accommodating and happy at the same time, and there have been almost no disputes.
These so-called ladies look gentle and dignified, but they are actually very high in their bones.
They look down on those women from small families, and every time they meet, they will secretly compare.
Naturally, the prince would not be too pleasant to talk to them, but his self-cultivation did not allow him to drive them away at will.
"Your Highness, this is a sachet made by a courtier!" At this time, a woman boldly gave a gift she had prepared in advance.
Not to be outdone, several other women took out their gifts.
From the beginning, they knew that the purpose of this banquet was to go, and they were all going to the position of the crown princess.
If she becomes the crown princess, she will be the queen in the future, which woman is willing to miss such a good opportunity?
Their identities are also very good among the nobles in the imperial city, and they all feel that if the prince really wants to marry a wife, he will definitely choose one of them.
Therefore, they regarded each other as enemies early on and wanted to trample them down, after all, if they could win the favor of the crown prince, their identities would be very different......
However, they tried their best, but they couldn't get a glimpse of his mind.
Xiao Hanyin watched those women scrambling to give gifts to the prince, and a faint smile filled his eyes.
The prince has always been steady and steady, and he doesn't show a drop of water, but this time he was almost forced by these women to leave on the spot.
Where there are many women, there are many fights, and today they are fighting for beauty, and now they want to stuff gifts to him.
"Take all these things back!" As soon as the prince spoke, they didn't dare to be presumptuous.
"Your Highness, don't you like any of this?" Several women seemed to be hurt by his attitude, and their faces overflowed with disappointment.
"No merit is not rewarded!" Those are all the things that a woman gave to her beloved man, and the prince never expected that they would be so enthusiastic and bold.
Today, it was just the first time they had met, and they actually sent these objects directly.
In fact, the crown prince was unhappy in his heart, and he even wanted to get up and leave immediately, but thinking of his father's advice, he could only reluctantly stay.
"Your Highness, this is just a little bit of our heart, it's not worth any silver at all, you can accept it!" Several women did not give up and wanted to occupy a place in the prince's heart.
"Hearts are priceless!" The prince avoided them.
A few women had no choice but to take the things back, after all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't accept it, and they couldn't do it......
After a while, the prince finally found an excuse to send them away.
"The vision of the woman chosen by my father is really the same for ten years!" The prince rubbed his eyebrows and said.
