The crown prince nodded, "People will always change, the kindness of this palace has never changed, and the third child, you are more and more exposed to your unscrupulous nature." ”

The third prince pulled his lips and smiled: "Third brother, I have always been like this." It's better for the prince's brother to see it clearly earlier. ”

The third prince said, pulled the fifth child and left.

Wen Du walked over, and the prince said to Wen Dui, "Lord Wen, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

Wen Du nodded: "The minister may not have seen the prince for a long time." ”

The prince was far away from Xiangshangcheng, and there were still some old disciples and potential forces in Shangroucheng in the past.

The purpose of staying in Shangrou City is to move around, so that one day he can thoroughly find out the truth about Chaoyunguan back then.

In Shangrou City, there are many subordinates of the Seven Princes, but fortunately, there is Wen Du and secretly cover them, these hidden kindnesses always flash at critical moments, which are tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow to the prince's old department.

In the years when Xiangshang City was under house arrest, even if there were old subordinates who were willing to work hard, those old subordinates were not allowed to go out of Shangrou City.

The prince had just returned to Shangroucheng, and he had not yet met the ministers of the old department, but he had already heard of Wen Dui's help, so he felt cordial when he saw Wen Dui.

"Over the years, Lord Wen Du has really worked hard."

Wen Du knew that he was alluding to what was convenient for him in secret, and suddenly said: "There are many thieves and traitors in Shangrou City, all of them are like wild wolves and fierce jackals for profit, and the prince is on the cusp of the storm, hateful for traitors, and hostile to villains. ”

Supporting Gong E, a few drunken second-grade generals went out of the palace gate, saw the prince and Wen Dui, but their hearts were sober, knowing that these two people were intent on getting close, and they looked at each other, on the one hand, they wanted to please the prince, and on the other hand, they didn't want to be enemies with the three princes, so they were very embarrassed, so they had to step forward first, bow to the prince, and say goodbye to each other, and the generals slowly left.

Seeing his people leaving, Wen Duan looked at the sky, bowed to the prince and said, "The minister also retires, the palace is not a place for idle talk." His Majesty has promised the prince to restore the crown prince, and on the day when the prince is crowned prince, the minister will personally congratulate him, and then he will have a good time with the prince and discuss important matters. ”

The prince nodded, and ordered the palace people around him to personally send Wen Duan out of the palace.

The bamboo-blue sedan chair has stopped outside the palace gate, Wen Du sat on the sedan chair, the palace people around the prince turned back, and Wang Zhong walked in front with the lamp.

Wenfu is not far from the palace, but also across a street, this area of the palace gate on the street stands the third emperor, the second princess, the fifth prince's mansion, Wen Du estimated, if the prince is crowned prince, according to the current age and the number of family members, I am afraid to build a mansion on this street, no wonder last month, His Majesty asked himself about the construction department of the household department.

It turned out that a month ago, His Majesty was thinking about restoring the throne of the crown prince, and according to this calculation, the crown prince has a greater chance of inheriting the throne.

Wen Du closed his eyes, put the fox fur on his body, let himself rest for a while, estimated that there was still a cup of tea to go home, changed into court clothes, and then went to today's morning court, and there was an hour and a half in between.

Shuo Feng's voice was very tough, but it made people inexplicably calm, Wen Du remembered that between today's banquet, Empress Qi intended to match the marriage between the little county prince and the big Qi woman.

According to Wen Duan's analysis, it is impossible for Emperor Duan to match the royal man with a woman from the Great Qi clan, and in the future, Empress Qi Xu will have to ask for help for this matter.

Back then, he insisted on marrying Aunt Xiao, and there was a lot of discussion in Shangroucheng, it was Empress Qi who spoke out and suppressed him, but he owed Empress Qi a favor.

In the coming day, the Empress Qi asked for help for herself for the matter of the woman of the Great Qi clan marrying a man from the royal family, how could she stand by and watch?

Wen Du was planning in his heart, and before he knew it, the sedan chair stopped at the gate of Wenfu.

Wang Zhong helped Wen Dusk: "Does the master go directly to the Peach Leaf Pavilion to take a nap and raise some spirits, or go to the old lady to say goodbye?" ”

Wen Du said: "There are many rewards in the palace today, you can send a few to the old lady first, and then talk about the silk and satin, rouge gouache, hairpins and other things in the rewards to be rewarded to each courtyard." The rest of the objects will be divided equally among each young lady, and by the way, I will give me a silver bracelet inlaid with red agate given by Empress Qi to Pear Blossom Pavilion alone. Send it quietly, don't let anyone else know. ”

Wang Zhong bowed his head and agreed.

Wen Du walked alone into the courtyard, and when he reached the second entrance, he heard a pipa sound, the tone was very familiar, it was the song he and Aunt Ruan had heard when they first met in Shangrou City.

Wen Du followed the source of the sound, and saw that the door of a small wooden house in front of the black tree was hidden, and a figure could be faintly seen inside.

Wen Du stepped on the wooden steps and pushed the door in, only to see Aunt Ruan sitting upright on the wooden bench, her feet on the wooden board. The four sides were empty, and only a handmaiden Hanhua stood on the side.

Aunt Ruan's eyes are stained with rouge, her mouth is dotted with Dan ointment, the green silk is high, and her hands are brushing the pipa, which is leisurely into a song, which is evoking the romantic feelings of Wen Du when she was young.

But I saw her raise her head slightly, with a pandering chuckle on her slightly haggard jade face, revealing a mouthful of silver teeth, her red lips slightly covering her teeth, silver and red, even more seductive, with the fingertips flicking, the steps shook the tassels lightly, adding a touch of charm in the clear skylight.

Aunt Ruan's round eyes were like two round streams, with clear tears, and a slightly resentful look, as if she was unwilling and resentful on her face when she wet her Enke dress and was reprimanded and punished by her grandmother.

That was the situation when they first met, Wen Duan had not yet achieved fame, and as the prince of Runan did his best in the teaching department, he happened to see her who was reprimanded by her grandmother.

The upturned nose was quite noble, and he opened his mouth and closed his mouth to apologize to the benefactor, but there was always a trace of stubbornness on his face, and it was this stubbornness that was different from the surrounding environment that made Wen Dui, the son of a noble land, sympathize with her.

At the end of the song, Wen Duan also withdrew from his memories, looked at Aunt Ruan, and asked, "Why don't you rest in the house, your body is okay?" Didn't you listen to your lady and say that you can't leave the medicine all day long? Why did you come to play the pipa so early, are you waiting for me? ”

Aunt Ruan glanced at Wen Du and handed the pipa to Hanhua.

"Ah Ruan is afraid that he will not see his master before he dies."

Wen Du frowned, "What nonsense are you talking about!" What doesn't die. It's all nonsense. Then he said, "Why do you want to wait for me here?" ”

Aunt Ruan sighed lightly, "Don't wait here for the master." Where else can I wait for the master? If you look for the master seriously, you can't be hindered by the Xu family. ”

Wen Du frowned: "Even if the Xu family is a little dangerous, it will not be like this. ”

Aunt Ruan smiled slightly: "Isn't it?" If not, why would she calculate me and calculate that I would go to the Cloud Pavilion to make a big fuss. ”
