Chapter 85: Flickering
The courtyard was built in the western suburbs, and the scenery of the back garden was naturally good.
Min Jue's eldest brother and second brother also served in the court, although the official position was quite low, and it was suspected that there was a time to go to the court, but after all, it was necessary to work in response to the office, and it was more convenient to live here.
Although their courtyard is smaller than that of the surrounding dignitaries and nobles, it also covers an area of about 30 acres, and everyone lives in their own yard on weekdays, so they rarely come to this garden to hang out, especially at this hour.
After all...... It's going to be dusk.
It was early summer, and the weather was already getting hot, and at this time, it was getting dark later, so Min Jue asked people to prepare a lot of delicious food, but he waited in the pavilion until it was dark, and no one came.
"Gege......." The Gospel cried out cautiously.
Seeing that Gege's face was not very good, probably because the person who was waiting for did not come.
But what kind of person is it that makes his own family so serious?
As Gospel was thinking, there was a sudden sound of laughter in the distance.
Min Jue hurriedly stood up, and when she saw that it was her fourth brother and the little girl next to her, she couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and her little face collapsed.
"Why, I only saw you fourth brother and me, and I was so disappointed?" Wuge walked over and asked with a smile.
"The first time I asked the fourth brother to do something, you didn't do it." Min Jue pouted and said.
"Do you think it's so easy to invite the prince over?" After Wuge waved his hand to signal the minions who were waiting for him to retreat, he was a little crying and laughing.
Although Min Jue was disappointed, he couldn't say anything more.
The fourth brother of her family was finally reactivated and entered Changchun Garden as a guard, although he was only a third-class guard, but at least he could see the future.
It's not easy for the fourth brother to mess around in the palace, so he can't be too demanding.
She is the companion of the four princesses, but in Changchun Garden, the place where the princesses study is a little far away from the place where the princes study, and it is inconvenient for her to find the fourth elder brother, so she can only ask the fourth brother of her family to help.
"Girl, you can think about it, his identity ......." Wuge was afraid that his sister would suffer, so he couldn't help but want to persuade a few words.
"I know, fourth brother, don't worry." Min Jue nodded hurriedly, and after a moment of silence, he asked in a low voice, "Why is he delayed and unable to come?" ”
"The crown prince held a banquet today and invited all the older princes over." Wuge said with a smile.
In fact, he also wanted to say that even if he had nothing to do, the possibility of the fourth elder brother coming to the appointment was extremely small.
I'm afraid of hitting my sister, so it's hard to say much.
"I see." Min Yu nodded slightly.
Changchun Garden Wuyi Zhai, although it is dusk, the sky is getting dark, but the hall is brightly lit, several dancers wearing red dance clothes are dancing, these are the prince's own raised dancers, all young and beautiful, quite good-looking, dancing naturally graceful, particularly enchanting and good-looking.
In the past few days, the emperor has been anxious about the rebellion of the Dzungar Great Khan Galdan, and he is restless in eating and sleeping, and his prince brother still has the heart to call everyone to come to the banquet, watch singing and dancing, drink and have fun, and Yinzhen doesn't know what to say.
But...... If he doesn't come, it will be different.
In the royal family, there are only two endings for people who are different, either ascending to the throne and becoming emperor, or dying silently.
He doesn't like socializing, and he doesn't like to care about things that are not related to him, but that doesn't mean he doesn't understand.
Sometimes, it's not bad to go with the flow.
Yin Zhen was thinking about it, but the voice of the prince came from his ears.
"Brothers, everyone drink this cup to their heart's content."
"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince." The princes smiled and thanked him, and then drank all the wine in his glass.
The crown prince was in a very good mood today, because in the afternoon Emperor Ama had told him that if Galdan's army really threatened the capital, then his old man was very likely to take the expedition in person.
It's good to drive the royal conquest, many emperors in the past dynasties also like to drive the conquest, but many of them never returned, or lost the throne after becoming a prisoner.
Huang Ama drove the expedition in person, and of course he, who was the crown prince, had to stay in prison, so that he could do what he wanted.
In case Emperor Ama has a bad deal, he can immediately ascend the throne and reign over the world.
The prince used to love banquets, and today he is in a good mood, so he naturally wants to have a good time.
By the time the dinner was late in the evening, he was already slightly drunk.
As the crown prince, he still didn't dare to get drunk, for fear that tomorrow's emperor Ama would not be able to get up and delay the big event.
Of course, this is also the result of the side Fujin Li family sending people to quietly remind him many times.
"Fourth, you stay, this prince has something to say to you." The prince stopped Yinzhen.
"I don't know what the second brother wants to tell me?" After Yin Zhen entered the inner hall, he sat on a chair and asked in a low voice.
"You bastard, you refuse to marry Huashang, what's wrong with her, you dislike it so much, cousin of this palace, it's your blessing to be able to take a fancy to you, you have shirked and refused to marry her several times, it's just insulting the prince of this palace." The prince yelled angrily. After all, I drank a lot of alcohol, and although I was only slightly drunk, I certainly didn't speak as calmly as usual.
Coupled with concern, it is chaotic, and the more he talks, the more angry he becomes, and he wants to beat Yinzhen.
"Second brother, don't be angry, the reason why the younger brother refuses to marry Huashang is for the sake of you, second brother, otherwise a noble girl like Huashang has a good family background, good learning, and her appearance is even more impeccable, who is not tempted?" Yin Zhen waved his hand, signaled the eunuchs and palace maids in the room to step back, and said with a smile.
The prince was slightly stunned when he heard this: "For the sake of the palace? ”
"Yes, the younger brother knows that the second brother likes gorgeous clothes, how can you win the second brother's love?" Yin Zhen nodded solemnly.
He didn't drink much today, he was very sober, and the prince had drunk a lot, of course, he had to take the opportunity to fool around, otherwise he would waste a good opportunity.
"Ben...... Hongu just treats her as a sister, and doesn't ...... There is no other thought. The prince shook his head and said.
Yin Zhen saw his weak face, and was slightly disdainful.
Isn't the prince always bold and a little lustful? Why do you like gorgeous clothes so much and don't dare to start?
Is it suddenly timid, or do you cherish that gorgeous dress too much?
"I know that the second brother's crown princess has already been decided, and the second brother refuses to wronged Hua Shang as a side concubine, so he has not shown his heart, but the crown princess of the Guarjia clan is blessed, and it is not impossible for the second brother to regret the marriage, but it is really not possible, marry Hua Shang as a side concubine first, and then correct it later." Yin Zhen said with a smile.
"Don't talk nonsense, this palace loves Hua Shang like a brother." The prince hurriedly shook his head, but there was a fire in his heart.
"What the second brother said is very true, it was the younger brother who said the wrong thing." Yin Zhen said with a smile.
