"I didn't arrive in time last time, and you won't be ...... However, I'm trying to make my backing a little bit stronger. ”

Zhao Yiyan still feels a little guilty when he thinks of the incident back then, but he quickly adjusted his mood and reached out to pat his chest.

"Don't talk about that, it's all in the past. And that's exactly what I mean, if I hadn't done that, I probably wouldn't be as comfortable as I am now. ”

Not wanting Zhao Yiyan to feel guilty, Zhongli directly interrupted him.

"And even if I lose so much property, I still gain a lot. Family, friendship, and you, big brother! ”

And big brother you!

This sentence made Zhao Yiyan's heart beat violently, yes, I am also very happy to have such a second brother!

At this time, Zhao Zijian didn't know what trouble he caused Zhongli after inviting Zhongli, but instead received a letter from His Royal Highness the Prince, asking him to approach Zhongli.

"Why is that?"

It's just a puzzle.

And many of the staff around him also began to speculate, but most of them had the same idea, and wanted Zhao Yiyan not to be strong now, after all, the emperor had not yet figured out what the prince thought, and if he did it rashly, the emperor might think that the two were accomplices.

Zhao Yiyan shook his head, stretched out his hand and pinched the note sent by the prince, his eyebrows jumped, and he always felt that things here were very strange.

But what is the strange I can't say?

"How is the third brother doing now?"

The relationship between him and Zhongli has never been bad, so naturally it is not a matter of contact, but after listening to the words of a few staff, he couldn't help but ask.

"Back to the fourth prince, the third prince has been busy with the ministers of the court recently, and I heard that the sister of the third princess has now made a marriage with the second son of the prime minister's family."

What the? Is there such a thing? Didn't the Prime Minister always stand in line? It's the standard royalists, how come they have changed their minds now?

"But the fourth prince, is there something you still need to pay attention to? Someone heard before that the emperor had let the five princes start to enter the court! ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Yiyan couldn't help but have a cold expression, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Who's to say it isn't?

My father has always wanted to make these princes a little more peaceful, so even after they have become married, they only started to enter the court after a long time after they left the palace and built a mansion, but how old is his fifth brother now, and he has already entered the court.

I really don't know what kind of idea my father has in his heart, if he uses his fifth brother to beat himself, he doesn't have to.

There is a prince on the top, a third brother below, and the father and emperor at the top, he is now making a wrong step, a wrong step.

So I didn't dare to do it at all.

"Don't worry about this matter for now, just take a good look at the third brother. Moreover, I guess the prince's brother has already found an opportunity this time. Although I don't know how he is going to turn the tables, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to do something to the third brother......"

He squeezed the note tightly and slammed his hand on the table in front of him, his gaze determined.

"Lord Wang, you must not be soft-hearted this time. There is only one seat, and now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Third Prince are regarded as water and fire. And the little princes below are still young, and it is just the right time for you. ”

"Yes, Lord Wang, you were soft on the prince before, and the old ministers who have followed you have been hit to a certain extent in the past few years, and even have a lot of complaints about you, if this continues, the situation is not good!"

……

Zhao Zijian frowned, nodded at them, and just waved at them a little irritably.

"Okay, this king already knows about this matter, so you better go back first!"

Seeing Zhao Zijian's appearance, several staff members exchanged glances, and couldn't help but sigh softly and shake their heads.

At the same time, in the prince's study in the East Palace, a person dressed in eunuch clothes quietly came in.

"Why are you here? Don't you know how dangerous it is in the palace right now? If my father found out, it would cause me a lot of trouble, do you know? ”

He was a little angry as he spoke.

The other party sneered at the prince.

"If I don't come, I'm afraid His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will kill himself!"

The prince's eyes were sharp, and he frowned and looked at each other coldly, with some unconvincing on his face.

"What do you mean by that? What would I do to die? I haven't done anything lately. ”

Recently, he has been confined by the emperor in the East Palace, and he has not even seen anyone outside, when is he dying?

But the man sneered and walked towards the prince step by step.

"You didn't believe what I said before, but now it's okay? Being forced to this point by the third prince is simply stupid. ”

He spoke without the slightest mercilessness, and the prince was a little annoyed, but he still had to clench his fists, glaring at the other party angrily, panting.

"You say!"

The man chuckled lightly and mysteriously hooked his finger at the prince with a strange expression.

Step by step, the prince approached.

……

"Why are you so literary but reluctant to enter the court?"

And after Zhao Zijian was idle, he began to plan how to force Zhongli onto his own boat, but he couldn't understand why Zhongli chose this way.

What kind of family motto is not allowed to enter the office, although Zhao Zijian is a little strange about the existence of this kind of family motto, and he is also suspicious, but Zhongli is so resistant to the court, which makes him very worried.

But no matter how Zhao Zijian persuaded Zhongli, he didn't choose to join the office, let alone become his staff.

Zhao Zijian had just gone out, and he found a familiar figure in the restaurant, and then looked at it, isn't this Zhongli!

The last time he invited Zhong Li to participate in the poetry meeting he held, he didn't seem to have fun, and as the organizer of this poetry meeting, and as the host of the capital, coupled with the previous instructions of His Royal Highness the Prince, the most important thing is to follow his own wishes, transfer his body, and Zhao Zijian walked directly into the restaurant.

Zhao Yiyan heard the overly excited voice and flattering tone of the shopkeeper outside the door, as well as the faintly familiar voice in his ears, his eyes involuntarily looked in the direction of the door.

Could it be that Zhongli invited someone else, or someone came uninvited?

"The fourth prince, King Qingyang and another prince are here, please."

The voice of the shopkeeper outside the door came from far and near, making Zhao Yiyan frown.

finally found a time to invite Zhongli out, but he didn't want to be blocked by Zhao Yiyan again, he couldn't help but be a little irritable, why isn't everyone at the critical juncture of winning the heir now? Why is Zhao Zijian so laid-back? Aren't you afraid that the crown prince will be released by the emperor? Aren't you afraid that the third prince will replace the crown prince?

Zhongli glanced at Zhao Yiyan, and Zhao Yiyan also looked at Zhongli, and the two couldn't help but see the displeasure in each other's eyes.

Zhongli couldn't help but smile, and before he could speak, the door of the box over there was opened.

Zhao Zijian smiled, arched his hand towards Zhao Yiyan, sat down on the seat with a golden knife, and loudly asked the shopkeeper to serve food and wine.

"King Qingyang, it's been a long time. It's just that I didn't expect King Qingyang to have such leisure and leisure! ”

And Zhao Yiyan just glanced at Zhao Zijian lightly, and then turned his gaze to the window.

Noisy!

Zhao Zijian touched his nose, he didn't seem to have provoked this person!

"Zhongli, you finally came to the capital once, why don't you take you ...... when this king will take you?"

"Don't! Don't! The grass people know the good intentions of the four princes, but don't let me go to any poetry and tea parties in the future, that place is not suitable for me, but if you know where to buy cheap Zhuangzi around here, call me at any time then! ”

Zhong Li said jokingly, and was insensitive to Zhao Zijian's invitation.

Zhao Zijian was a little helpless, Zhongli was a person, fame and fortune couldn't tempt him, and that kind of coercion and temptation could only make him farther and farther away, so he was like a hedgehog, so he couldn't start.

However, when he heard Zhongli say that he wanted to buy Zhuangzi, he couldn't help but light up his eyes.

"Do you mean to settle in the capital? It may not be as casual as it is, but if anything, you can report my name, and it will be fine. ”

Zhao Zijian laughed and patted his chest to pack a ticket for Zhongli, but as soon as the words changed, his dark eyes flashed a few times, and he spoke a little gossip.

"But I heard that my father announced that you were in the audience, what is the so-called matter?"

Zhao Zijian was a little curious.

His father only let Zhongli enter the palace once, and he could be targeted by His Royal Highness the Prince, so what did he do? Isn't it like what shocked me before?

"Thank you for the fourth prince's concern, in fact, it's nothing, Your Majesty may just be more interested in my glass."

He didn't want to say more, so he made an excuse at random.

How could Zhao Zijian not guess?

But thinking about it, it should be possible, in the past two years, the glass has been sold all over the country, and His Majesty's waist is bulging, because it is not impossible to summon Zhongli.

Zhongli hesitated for a moment before looking at the Fourth Prince.

"Lord Wang, there is one thing that the grass people don't know whether to talk about it or not."

Zhao Zijian was still thinking about his own thoughts, but when he heard this, he looked at Zhongli curiously, and saw that the other party looked like he wanted to say something.

"Zhongli is just a layman, his ideas are simple and simple, a prosperous place like the capital is not suitable for me, I am just a reckless villager, my home and my family are in the border city, I still want to go back. So I can only live up to the love of the seven princesses! ”

Seven princesses?

Xiaoqi, is it difficult for her to ......

Zhao Zijian couldn't help but change his complexion, and directly gasped.

Whether it is Zhongli, or even he can't intervene in Xiao Qi's marriage, that is a character held in the palm of his father's hand, how can he let her marry casually?

However, he thought of Xiao Qi's interest in Zhongli at the previous poetry meeting, and he couldn't help but have a headache.

Did you do something bad with good intentions?

He rubbed his forehead gently, and a wry smile appeared in the corners of his mouth, sure enough!

"If I could, I would persuade Xiao Qi. It's just that Shan'er has been held in her father's hand since she was a child, and she is not so easy to give up. Moreover, if things are really what you said, I hope that you can be as gentle as possible when facing Xiao Qi. ”

Zhongli also smiled and nodded.

Of course he knew Zhao Zijian's concerns, even if he didn't say it, he would do it, after all, it was the emperor's daughter, and he didn't want to die so soon.
