Wei Ting recognized at a glance that the girl standing beside Scarlet Smoke was Princess Linglong of Xiqin Kingdom, but he never thought that Scarlet Smoke would introduce people to him so generously, and he didn't have to avoid suspicion. Just by virtue of the fact that Linglong is from the Xiqin country, as a southern country, they can completely invite her out. Wei Ting's brows furrowed slightly, and his inquiring gaze wandered over the second daughter, and finally stopped at Scarlet Smoke's face, wanting her to give her an explanation.

Receiving Wei Ting's gaze, Scarlet Smoke smiled secretly, but said softly and skillfully, "Since Your Highness invited Scarlet Smoke to come, it must have changed the previous incident." ”

Seeing that the scarlet smoke went straight to the point, Wei Ting glanced at her with heavy eyes, and after thinking for a few seconds, he said in a low voice, "This is what you said before, this prince has been thinking about it for a long time. But it's easier said than done. ”

"But it's not completely impossible, is it, Your Highness?" Scarlet Smoke said loudly when he heard this.

Looking into the woman's slightly sly smiling eyes, Wei Ting's face showed a rare serious look, he stared at the scarlet smoke for a long time, nodded slowly, and said, "With the power I have now, I can guarantee that my cronies can break away from the government and not be affected by this battle for the throne, but you are also right, you can escape for a while, but you can't escape for a lifetime, especially when the person on the throne is Wei Xian." ”

Scarlet smiled and whispered, "What's more, not everyone is like His Royal Highness, their hearts are far away, not in the court." ”

Hearing this, Wei Xian's heart was stunned, and then a subtle expression appeared on his handsome face, and the woman in front of him saw him through. Indeed, in this world, there are all capable people with lofty ideals, who doesn't want to go on without disadvantage in their careers, and accumulate momentum for themselves and even for future generations? Or is it to be in a high position and show your own intellectual ambitions?

If because of following him to stand, a generation or even several generations have lost the opportunity to be an official or even lost their lives, then how can we protect them? It was precisely because of this thought that Scarlet Yan's words really poked into Wei Ting's heart.

Seeing Wei Ting's expression suddenly, his eyebrows swept slightly, and he said softly, "It is naturally best that His Highness can think clearly." ”

Wei Ting's eyes caught the woman's gaze, and his deep eyes changed from the gentleness of the past, flashing a little sharp, "However, if you want to prevent the crown prince from ascending to the throne in just a few months, you must hurt his roots, but with the emperor's current body, I am afraid that he will not be able to hold out until that time, and whether he can survive the winter is still up for discussion......

The emperor's body can't survive the winter? That is, only a little more than three months? Scarlet Smoke chuckled in his heart, and there was a little shock in Linglong's eyes on the side, did Scarlet Smoke and Wei Ting also want to prevent Wei Xian from taking the throne? Wei Chimu should have already told her their plan, their purpose was the same, so why didn't this woman send herself directly to Wei Xian's side? Wouldn't that be a big step away, Linglong felt a little unable to see through this woman for the first time.

Scarlet Smoke shook his head, "Your Highness is really well-informed, and Scarlet Smoke admires." When she raised her eyes, there was a slight smile in her eyes, "If Your Highness has made up your mind, in order to show your sincerity, Scarlet Smoke will present two gifts at that time, and please accept it with a smile." ”

"Oh?" Wei Ting raised his sword eyebrows lightly when he heard this, and a faint gaze swept over the woman's face, "Then the prince will wait and see." ”

Hearing this, Scarlet smiled slightly, then turned his eyes slightly, turned to Linglong, who had stood on the side and had never said a word, and said slightly apologetically, "Look at my memory, I only care about talking to His Highness, but I neglected Linglong, which really deserves to be punished." ”

Linglong was stunned for a moment, and her little face showed a little grievance, "It's important for my sister to talk about serious things with His Royal Highness, but Linglong feels that she is hindering you here, so it's better for my sister to let Linglong go to the lake to paddle and have fun." ”

Seeing that Linglong asked to leave, Scarlet Yan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, but her dexterous eyes looked back at Wei Ting on the side, and said, "I have to ask Your Highness if it's okay." ”

Wei Yan looked at the smart little princess, smiled and said, "But it's okay to go."

The lotus flowers of Boyue Lake are pleasant, the lotus leaves are green like jade, this is indeed a good time to appreciate the lotus, Wei Ting took the serious look before, and his eyebrows and eyes were a little warm, "Since you invite the two girls to come here, it is essential to appreciate the lotus, I have prepared the boat, please come here." ”

After that, Wei Ting stretched out his hand and made an inviting gesture, leading the second daughter to the other side of the pavilion and water pavilion.

In the palace of the king of Xinling, Wei Chi Mu stood beside the table, looking at a letter with clear handwriting on the table, and a low sigh overflowed from his lips for a long time.

He knew that these things in the capital were not so simple. Looking at the overall situation, almost everyone wants to get out of the quagmire, but what he didn't expect is that there is one person who wants to go against others, so that people have to care.

"Lord Wang, Lord Zhang asks to see you." At this moment, Mu's voice came, pulling Wei Chimu's thoughts back.

With a faint expression, the man glanced at the letter again, flicked his sleeve, put it into his sleeve, and then said, "Let him in." ”

"Yes."

After a while, Mu led a middle-aged man into the study, then bowed down and exited, and gently closed the door. The middle-aged man knelt down and saluted as soon as he saw Yu Chimu, "Weichen Zhang Xian, I've seen the prince." ”

Deep eyes, indifferent gaze swept over Zhang Xian's face, if he remembered correctly, since Wei Xian was crowned the crown prince, this Lord Zhang's attitude has been neutral, but coincidentally, he belongs to the household department, and in such a complex environment, he is like a clear stream, in charge of half of the treasury of the southern country. Such a character, no matter who it is, will find a way to win it over, let alone Wei Xian.

But it is also such a character, let Wei Xian touch the nail again and again, and he can't get rid of it if he wants to, this person's means and temperament are admirable, and it is difficult for people like Rao Shi Wei Chimu to ignore the government all year round without knowing the reputation of this Lord Zhang.

Thinking about it like this, it made Yu Chimu think of a person, and a hint of playfulness flashed in the man's eyes, "Lord Zhang and His Royal Highness ...... Highness"

Zhang Xian was stunned when he heard this, a glimmer of light burst out of his eyes, and he said respectfully, "Your Highness is the benefactor of the contemptible family. ”

Benefactor? Wei Chimu raised his eyes and glanced at Zhang Xian, who explained knowingly, "Wei Chen once made a mistake when he was young and prosperous, and almost buried his career and even the life of his family. ”

That makes sense. Wei Chimu nodded, he didn't expect that person to be so far-sighted, and his ability to recognize people was beyond the reach of others. The man's slender fingers tapped on the table one by one, and the crisp "doo" sound made it impossible to figure out what the man was thinking.

Zhang Xianben temporarily received a notice from the Fifth Prince, asking him to come to the Xinling Palace, and seeing that the King of Xinling only said a sentence about the relationship between him and the Fifth Highness that he had not been discovered for so many years, he was a little more in awe of the prince in front of him who was a few years younger than him.

"Lord Zhang came this time, why did you come here?" After a long time, Yu Chimu finally spoke slowly, but there were still deep and no waves in his eyes, which made people unable to see joy and sunshine.

By the Boyue Lake, Scarlet Smoke, Linglong and Wei Ting enjoyed the scenery on the lake, picked lotuses, and all returned happy, which is also a little interesting, obviously they were still discussing such a big rebellion as pulling the prince down from a high position not long ago, but after that, they could play and enjoy themselves as if nothing had happened. Linglong followed behind the two slowly, and her smart eyes were full of different colors.

The lotus flower was also rewarded, and the matter was discussed, Scarlet Yan thought that there was no need for them to stay here any longer, and as Wei Ting walked to the place where he came, he was about to say goodbye to him, but he didn't want to say anything yet, but he listened to the person next to him speak lightly.

"I'm afraid there are not many opportunities to enjoy the lotus and swim in the lake so carefree, but the girl has pointed out a difficult path for Zaixia."

Dai's eyebrows swept slightly, and the voice of the crimson smoke was slightly cool, "Your Highness, you are wrong." This path is not a scarlet smoke, but exists from the moment you came into the world. To go or not to go, to reason or not to go, it's all there. It's just that Your Highness's path will not be lonely, because there are always people who are willing to accompany you on this journey. ”

Wei Ting stared at her when he heard this, "Oh? Won't you be lonely? You can afford me. After that, he sighed leisurely, as if regretful and unwilling, "Wei Chimu is really a blessing." ”

The woman's expression froze, and her long eyelashes blinked twice for no apparent reason. Scarlet Yan admitted that she really didn't expect Wei Ting to mention Wei Chimu, let alone that her heart would move slightly because of such a name.

Seeing Scarlet Smoke's expression, Wei Ting's mouth caught a smile, "It's great for a transparent person like Scarlet Girl to stay by his side, if not, even if he is a confidant, it's excellent, but if the person next to you is Wei Chimu, then no one else can have a trace of Xiao Thought." After that, the man's face had a slightly mocking look, and he couldn't cry or laugh.

However, she can also be regarded as having seen it, it turns out that the fifth prince has always been as gentle as jade, and there is such a black gossip side behind the politeness and alienation, and Scarlet smiled helplessly, "Your Highness, don't make fun of me." Aren't you also interested in someone? ”

The meaning was meaningful, but Wei Ting looked calm, took out a carved dragon jade pendant from his sleeve, and handed it to Scarlet Yan, "Yes, so I want to ask the girl to run for me and give this jade pendant to the person I like." ”

The best white jade, carved with a flying dragon, exquisite carving, the root of the dragon's beard points to the sky, there is an unstoppable momentum, if this jade pendant is said to be worn by the Son of Heaven, it is not an exaggeration, so you can see Wei Ting's determination. And the "intended person" in his mouth is naturally Yin Ruohe, Scarlet Yan's best friend.

Receiving the jade pendant from Wei Ting's hand, the smile on the face of the scarlet smoke was a little, it seems that the Fifth Highness is very interested in Ruohe, it is rare for him to make such a friend in this life, and he can't help but be happy for him,

"Wrap it up on me."
