Chapter 144: You Scare Me
Zhong Yiqing's hands were clenched into fists tightly, gurgling, and he almost crushed his teeth. Those people are really not successful enough, and they are more than defeated!
Zhong Yihan saw the murderous aura in Zhong Yiqing's eyes.
"Hey, hey, big brother, I didn't expect you, who are usually strict and serious, to be so joking today! Hahaha, I still have something to do, the prince is waiting for me in Fanlou, there are several beautiful women playing the orchestra! Zhong Yiqing grinned, "I can't delay!" With that, he walked away quickly.
Zhong Yiqing didn't take Zhong Yihan's words to heart at all, and he has always been in a relationship with the prince. I wonder how Zhen Guogong would feel if he knew about the relationship between Zhong Yiqing and the crown prince?
As he was talking, he saw a group of people coming from the side of the street, and the two pawns in the front were carrying lanterns in their hands, one lantern was written "Guogong", and the other lantern was written "Young Master". Zhong Yihan knew that it was Zhenguo Gong who was back, so he walked outside the gate to greet him.
The sedan chair stopped, and Zhong Yihan bowed in front of the sedan chair: "Father! ”
Zhen Guogong lifted the curtain and nodded kindly to Zhong Yihan, and his face was tense again: "Is Yi Qing going out again?" "In the past few days, when Zhenguo Gong was a young master, he didn't find that Zhong Yiqing and the prince were together, but he felt that the prince didn't study the Four Books and Five Classics with his heart, and he was angry and helpless.
"Back to my father, it was indeed Yi Qing who just left." Zhong Yihan said truthfully.
Zhen Guogong snorted angrily: "Fooling around outside all day long, I don't have any motivation at all." In the midst of the severe reproach, there was disappointment, "Yi Han, do you know where he went?" With whom? ”
"Back to my father, I don't know who Yi Qing is with, they must be his kind of people!" Zhong Yihan thought about it, but he still didn't tell the matter that Zhong Yiqing was with the prince, which made Zhen Guogong angry.
Zhen Guogong took a look at Zhong Yihan and was not satisfied with Zhong Yihan's answer. He understands Zhong Yihan, who seems to be cold, but in fact, he cares about Zhong Yiqing very much in his heart, but sometimes this kind of care and love hurts Zhong Yiqing. He only had to look at Zhong Yihan's eyes to know that Zhong Yihan was lying just now: "Yi Han, as the eldest brother, you must be optimistic about Yi Qing, and you can't let him fool around outside all day long." It's not about loving him, it's about hurting him! Do you understand what I mean? ”
"The child understands." Zhong Yihan lowered his head.
Zhen Guogong didn't want to blame the eldest son too much, so his face changed to gentleness: "Tomorrow night, the emperor will entertain the eldest princess, and I will be a companion, so you can go with me!" ”
Zhong Yihan's heart sank, the eldest princess was in the palace at this time, and she didn't know how bad Lu Xiyi was to say to the emperor! Tomorrow night at the banquet, maybe you can probe the tone: "Okay, father! ”
Zhen Guogong was about to walk into the door with his hands on his back, when he suddenly remembered another thing.
"Yi Han, the eldest princess used to fight with me for the emperor, although she has prejudices against me, but after all, it is also a colleague, she finally returned to Beijing from outside, you can help me prepare a gift for the eldest princess tomorrow." Zhen Guogong paused and said in an accentuated tone, "Remember, the eldest princess is now a monk in the nunnery, eating fasting and reciting Buddha, don't violate the rules and precepts of the Buddhist family when you buy, if it's a snack, don't get a little meat." ”
Zhong Yihan suddenly had a cool breeze on his back, and shouted in his heart: Oh no, Lu Xiyi has an accident! After sending the town into the house, he rode on a horse and hurried to the Xiaoyao Wine Workshop.
Lu Xiyi, Liu Ji, Li Xiao and others were eating, and suddenly saw Zhong Yihan coming on horseback, Liu Ji knocked on the table.
"The eldest prince has not forgotten this meal!" Liu Ji looked at Lu Xiyi with a smile.
Lu Xiyi glanced at Liu Ji: "Brother Liu, don't talk nonsense!" He wiped his mouth and came to the door to greet Zhong Yihan in person, "Eldest son, when you come back from the Snow Mountain, why don't you go back without saying hello?" Anyway, let me make a good meal too, thank you! ”
Zhong Yihan didn't have the heart to eat with Lu Xiyi, so he pulled her hand and walked inside. When he came to the workshop, Zhong Yi stood still and stared at Lu Xiyi coldly. Lu Xiyi's heart pounded when he saw it.
"What's the matter, eldest son?" Lu Xiyi's voice couldn't even be heard by herself.
Zhong Yihan looked at Lu Xiyi for a while, and his eyes fell on the vat of jade ice burning next to him. He lifted the vat of wine, uncovered the mud, poured a bowl, put it into his nose and sniffed it, his brow a little relaxed.
Lu Xiyi didn't understand what Zhong Yihan wanted to do, and was very puzzled: "The eldest prince ......"
"Tomorrow night, the emperor will have a banquet for the eldest princess." Zhong Yihan stared at the wine in the bowl and muttered.
What did he mean? Lu Xiyi frowned, the emperor invited the eldest princess to a banquet, what does it have to do with her? Lu Xiyi's face was full of questions.
Zhong Yihan further said: "The emperor loves your jade ice roast, and he will definitely use the jade ice roast to make wine for the banquet." ”
Lu Xiyi smiled awkwardly, tilting her head to look at Zhong Yihan, like a little sparrow, because she still didn't understand what Zhong Yihan wanted to express.
"The eldest princess eats fasting and recites Buddha, and doesn't eat meat, if she drinks your jade ice roast, what will happen?" Zhong Yihan's gaze shifted from wine to Lu Xiyi's face.
At this time, Lu Xiyi woke up. Her jade ice roast is made from meat, and according to the Buddhist rules, monks are not allowed to touch this wine. However, the latest batch of jade ice roast has been sent to the palace, so what should I do?
Although Lu Xiyi was worried in his heart, he was not as worried as Zhong Yihan: "I sent tribute wine into the palace, not for the eldest princess, but for the emperor." The emperor didn't say that he couldn't drink meat wine, if the eldest princess really drank my jade ice roast, she wouldn't blame me, right? ”
"That being said, don't forget that the eldest princess has a grudge against you now, and she must find a way to persecute you." Zhong Yihan said, "If she says that you deliberately let her break her vows, the emperor will definitely punish you because of her affection." ”
Saying this, Lu Xiyi became afraid. I thought it was a good thing to send tribute wine into the palace, but I didn't think that a good thing would become a bad thing!
Seeing that Lu Xiyi was so anxious, Zhong Yihan hurriedly said: "Don't be so anxious first, if no one talks about it, the emperor and the eldest princess don't know that Yubing is meat wine, then there is nothing to do." If someone talks about it, it's hard to say. Think about it, does anyone who came to fetch the wine know that Yubing Yao is meat wine? ”
Knowing that Jade Ice Roast is meat wine, it is nothing more than the people of Xiaoyao Wine Workshop, of course, and Ah Leng. Since Gonggong Kun and the others didn't know that Yubing Roast was meat wine, how could the emperor know? The emperor doesn't know, how can the eldest princess know?
Zhong Yihan smelled it just now, there was no smell of meat in the wine, and the feeling of drinking it was the same as drinking vegetarian wine. If you don't say it, the eldest princess can't drink it.
As soon as Zhong Yihan said this, Lu Xiyi relieved himself: "The people in the palace will never know that my wine is meat wine. The eldest prince, you are really, you were shocked, one moment said that there was something, and the other said that there was nothing, you deliberately scared me, right? Between the words, there seemed to be some dissatisfaction.
Zhong Yihan also felt that he was too anxious, and he didn't think about the matter before and after, so he immediately ran over and told Lu Xiyi, not only making himself anxious, but also scared Lu Xiyi.
"Alright, alright! I know you're well-intentioned, but now that I think about it, it shouldn't be fine, let's go to dinner! Lu Xiyi saw Zhong Yihan's face full of shame, and hurriedly smiled.
