The second prince was as if he had lost his soul, but the queen mother was still asking him, "You tell the queen mother, ah!" You tell the queen mother, who is that person? ”

The second prince smiled abruptly, but couldn't help crying: "Who is it, if she can grow up well in the palace, maybe we will really become a good brother and sister, maybe I can protect her to grow up, so that she doesn't have to suffer these hardships...... Mother, mother, you really hurt your son. ”

The queen mother was stunned, she looked at the expression on the face of the second prince as if her heart was like ashes, and a sense of uneasiness surged in her heart, her son has always been gentle as jade, polite, she has never seen him with such an expression.

It's as if he's lost hope, there's nothing he cares about, his heart is dead, but that's it.

"Chen'er, don't scare the queen mother, what's wrong with you?" The queen asked in alarm.

Everything she did was for the second prince, if something happened to the second prince, what would she fight?

The second prince stood up abruptly and walked out in a daze.

The queen mother felt a sense of uneasiness in her heart, and she couldn't help but call: "Chen'er! ”

The second prince did not react and walked out directly.

The queen couldn't help crying, and the grandmother on the side handed over the handkerchief and comforted in a low voice: "Niangniang, don't be sad, Your Highness is just emotional, just go back and think about it, he is the most filial on weekdays." ”

The queen shook her head, silently shedding tears, and she said in a low voice: "Chen'er didn't salute just now. ”

Her son, who has been carefully taught since he was a child, has been carefully taught and etiquette, which is integrated into his bones, and he has done it perfectly at all times, but just now, he walked out.

The queen couldn't help but feel a little blocked in her heart, "This kid, he blames me!" But how did he know that I didn't plan it all for him......"

The queen's words came to an abrupt end, and she suddenly thought of what the second prince said just now.

The queen is worthy of being a heroine among women, and when her son undergoes such a great change, she can also adjust her emotions at the first time and find out that something is wrong.

The queen mother wiped away her tears, her phoenix eyes narrowed, and a flash of essence flashed, she carefully recalled what the second prince said just now, and her expression was dark: "Chen'er won't have a charming mind for that person, right?!" ”

Mama was also shocked, and said hesitantly: "This, this won't be this, right?" ”

The so-called knowing son Mo Ruomu, it is normal for the queen's grandmother to be able to detect the second prince's feelings for Jiang Qingyue.

The queen's mother frowned, she was really murderous at this time.

"You go, go and find out, there are any suspicious women around Your Highness!" The queen said.

Mama answered, and hurriedly retreated, this matter is too serious to allow the slightest mistake.

However, before the queen could find the real Princess Ningyang, something happened to the second prince.

Since the second prince left the palace that day, after returning to the mansion, he just drank every day, drank too much and fell asleep, and continued to drink when he woke up, the housekeeper of the second prince's mansion was worried that his hair was gray, but he persuaded and persuaded him, but there was no way to stop the decadence of the second prince.

The housekeeper had no choice but to go into the palace to find the queen mother for help.

The queen didn't expect that the second prince would be so unproductive, for a woman, so depraved!

The queen has been worried about a lot of things recently, the Dingguo Mansion has made a fuss, and I don't know how to do it, the three brothers of Dingguo Gong are also disheartened for the position of the prince, plus the concubines of Dingguo Gong, seeing that Dingguo Gong died, they all thought it was profitable, and they added fuel to the fire.

The Duchess of Dingguo is a person who has no idea, and the three who made trouble are all her sons, the palms and backs of her hands are full of meat, in addition to crying every day, she only does one thing, that is, she enters the palace to ask the queen to call the shots.

What can the queen do? Three of them are their nephews, and whoever sets up the other two will be dissatisfied, and if this matter is not handled well, the Dingguo Mansion will fall apart.

The annoyed and upset queen mother misses her brother very much, but Dingguo Gong is dead, and someone has to decide these things, and the queen mother can be described as exhausted.

Unexpectedly, at this time, her own son also joined in the fun, and heard the housekeeper say that the second prince drank every day, and everyone lost a lot of weight, and she was even more distressed and angry.

"Let him drink! How big it is for him to be so depraved! It's really not like the son of Hongu at all! The queen mother hated the iron and said with iron: "Since he is so unproductive, why should this palace plan for him!" ”

The queen sent the housekeeper away, the housekeeper really felt sorry for the second prince, and now the queen has no choice, and she can't let the second prince go on like this, and all of their net worth and lives are hanging on the second prince.

So the housekeeper thought of a way, he asked people to inform Jiang Qingyue, the second prince has always looked at Jiang Qingyue differently, he hoped that Jiang Qingyue could come over to persuade the second prince.

Jiang Qingyue got the news and agreed very happily, and immediately came to the Second Prince's Mansion.

The housekeeper led Jiang Qingyue to see the second prince, and said with a worried face: "Gongzi Jiang, the situation of our Royal Highness is really a little bad, and the tired prince has a lot of enlightenment, there are not many people who can speak in front of His Highness, and the old slave can only ask the prince for help." ”

"Don't worry, I have a deep brotherhood with His Highness, and I won't ignore it." Jiang Qingyue said.

In the room of the second prince, the room was full of the smell of wine, he was drunk, and that's it, he was still holding the wine jar.

As soon as Jiang Qingyue walked in, the housekeeper stepped out intimately, leaving space for the two good brothers to talk.

The second prince was drunk and delirious, but he was still a little conscious, he opened his eyes and looked at a person in front of him, he looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Qingyue, Qingyue, are you here?" I've got good wine here! ”

Jiang Qingyue looked at the wine handed over by the second prince, her heart was a little complicated, she only had one thought at this time, the second prince really treated her with brotherly love, even now when she was delirious, she still remembered to share a pot of good wine with her.

The second prince really has a deep brotherly love for her!

Jiang Qingyue slowed down his voice: "Your Highness, you have drunk too much, can you give me the wine?" ”

"To you? Who are you? The second prince asked suspiciously.

Come on, I don't know you anymore.

Jiang Qingyue said patiently: "I am Qingyue, and His Highness just said that he would give me wine." ”

"Qingyue?" The second prince tilted his head and thought about it, and then happily handed over his wine jug: "Give it to Qingyue, I am willing!" ”

Jiang Qingyue's heart was sour, so she sat next to the second prince, and she didn't waste it, she raised her head and took a sip of wine.

The hot liquid flowed into her throat, and she sighed softly: "What troubles is there Your Highness?" Would you like to talk to me? I am a soft-spoken person, and I also want to do some dog and horse work for His Highness. ”

The second prince's mind was a little dull, and he thought for a while before he said, "Trouble...... I fell in love with someone. ”

Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but realize, oh, it turned out to be a relationship problem, this is more difficult Jiang Gongzi, after all, she doesn't know much about feelings, but when she heard the second prince say that she likes someone, Zhou Rui'an's face couldn't help but appear in her mind.

Jiang Qingyue involuntarily bent the corners of his lips.

"That's really congratulations to Your Highness, with a woman you like, Your Highness is a talent, and she is noble, that woman is really a blessing." Jiang Qingyue said sincerely.

The second prince shook his head, and when he shook like this, he felt dizzy about the object in front of him, and he couldn't help but lean on Jiang Qingyue's shoulder.

Jiang Qingyue looked at his somewhat childish movements and smiled lightly, but he didn't expect that the second prince, who was usually polite, was drunk like a child, she didn't move, and let him lean on his shoulder.

"But shouldn't it be a happy thing to have someone you like? Why is Your Highness so troubled? Jiang Qingyue asked, "Could it be that the girl's identity does not match His Highness?" ”

The second prince muttered, "No......", but he didn't say the real reason.

There are some things, even if you are confused, you want to protect them well, and you don't want to reveal them to anyone, even that person.

Jiang Qingyue began to worry about this, and the housekeeper asked her to come over to persuade the second prince to cheer up, but seeing the second prince like this, she didn't know how to persuade her.

I had to pat him on the shoulder, and just about to speak, the second prince said aggrievedly: "Am I wrong?" Why don't you like me? ”

Jiang Qingyue was stunned for a moment, instinctively thinking that the second prince was asking her, and then heard the second prince continue: "Why have you never seen me in your eyes, what is wrong with me?" You can tell me, did you know that I've never liked someone like this like this? ”

Jiang Qingyue knew this, it turned out that the second prince recognized the wrong person, this 'you' should be that girl, he regarded her as that girl.

Jiang Qingyue sighed in his heart, it seems that the second prince is very affectionate, this is more difficult.

Jiang Qingyue turned her head and looked at the messy wine jug on the ground, she raised her head and took a sip of wine, before she said lightly: "What's the reason?" Isn't that what this is in this world? No matter how good you are, there will always be someone who is dismissive of you; No matter how ordinary you are, there will be a day when you will be treated like a treasure. His Highness is naturally excellent. ”

The second prince did not speak, but buried his face in her shoulder, cherishing this brief comfort.

Jiang Qingyue drank silently.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew through the window, just in time to see the scene of the setting sun, the fiery red sun seemed to be about to set, dyed half of the sky, it seemed to release the last heat, red dazzling.

Outside the window is a small bridge and flowing water, and the sunset reflects the surface of the lake, like a timeless painting.

Jiang Qingyue said in surprise: "Your Highness, look, the sunset." ”

Jiang Qingyue gently curled the corners of his lips and looked at the unexpected scenery with a smile.

The second prince leaned on her shoulder, tilted his head sideways, and looked at her perfect side face, the light in his eyes was gentleness and brilliance that he had never seen before.

She looked out the window, but she didn't know that she had become the scenery in his eyes.

Jiang Qingyue finally returned home, she didn't persuade the second prince back, she always felt that the second prince was venting something, he understood everything in his heart, he didn't need anyone to persuade him, he was just too uncomfortable in his heart.

The housekeeper was a little disappointed by this, even Jiang Qingyue had no choice, it seemed that no one could persuade His Royal Highness the Second Highness.

Jiang Qingyue thought about it and told the housekeeper: "Don't persuade him, His Royal Highness has been tense for too long, he has always been a perfect prince, and he must always maintain his humble image, but he will also be tired, and he will also be frustrated and disappointed, and occasionally he also wants to indulge himself, it's not that he doesn't understand, he's just too tired." ”

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, looked at the back of Jiang Qingyue leaving, and thought to himself, maybe this is the reason why the second prince looks at Jiang Qingyue differently.

As soon as Jiang Qingyue got home, she saw the scholar waiting for her in the living room, and Shen Yanniang was talking to him.

Shen Yanniang saw Jiang Qingyue coming back, so she stood up and said, "Jiang Lang, you can be regarded as back, the scholars have been waiting for you for most of the day." ”

Jiang Qingyue nodded, and Shen Yanniang said, "Then you talk first, and I won't disturb you talking." ”

As soon as Shen Yanniang left, the scholar looked at Jiang Qingyue with a solemn expression: "Boss, I found out one thing, recently the three young masters of the Dingguo Mansion have made a mess in order to compete for the position of the prince, I found out, the things that the Dingguo Gong got that day were taken away by the eldest young master Fang Mingwei!" After a pause, the scholar's eyes flashed: "Boss, but do you want to get things back?" I can plan it with my brothers. ”

Jiang Qingyue's eyes flashed, she thought of it, the chaos in the Dingguo Mansion was the result of Zhou Rui'an's encouragement, and now there is infighting in the Dingguo Mansion, so she has no heart to deal with Zhou Rui'an, if they intervene again, will it disrupt Zhou Rui'an's plan?

Jiang Qingyue was a little hesitant, she didn't want to do something that would endanger Zhou Rui'an, his situation was already difficult enough.

So she shook her head: "No need, let's put this matter aside for a while." ”

The scholar was a little puzzled, Jiang Qingyue was so anxious before, but now he asked him to let it go?

While the two were talking, Zhou Ruian walked in from outside, he smiled, but when he saw the scholar, the expression on his face couldn't help but fade.

"The scholar is too." Zhou Ruian said lightly.

The scholar blinked, and immediately understood that he was redundant, and hurriedly said: "I've seen the prince, I'll come and talk to the boss, I'm leaving." After a pause, he looked at Jiang Qingyue: "Boss, then I'll leave first." ”

Jiang Qingyue advised: "Remember my words." ”

The scholar nodded, bowed, and retreated.

Zhou Ruian looked at Jiang Qingyue and said with a smile: "What do you want him to do?" He is new to the capital, and he is not very familiar with the capital, if you want to do something, you can send Luobei, anyway, he has nothing to do on weekdays. ”

Luo Bei: "??? "He was wronged!

Jiang Qingyue said in her heart, she can't afford to use his people, otherwise if she investigates something, won't he know everything?

Jiang Qingyue nodded, "I see." ”

Zhou Ruian said again: "You went to see the second prince just now?" ”

Jiang Qingyue raised his eyebrows: "It seems that my whereabouts now can't be hidden from the prince." ”

Seeing that she was unhappy, Zhou Ruian hurriedly smiled: "This is wronged, it's not staring at you, it's staring at the second prince, you also know that the Dingguo Mansion hates me now, maybe I'm going to deal with it when I have to, I always have to be fully prepared, right?" After a pause, he glanced at her quickly: "My people, who don't know how important you are to me, will naturally come to report to me when they see you going to the Second Prince's Mansion." ”

Jiang Qingyue's expression looked a little better.

Zhou Ruian asked: "I heard that the second prince drinks heavily in the mansion every day, but is it true?" ”

This matter is not a secret, and there is nothing that cannot be said, Jiang Qingyue nodded.

Zhou Ruian chuckled, and his tone was clear: "What can make him so decadent and blowing, I think there is only one word of love." ”

Jiang Qingyue glanced at him in surprise, she only knew that the second prince was in love with a woman after hearing the words of the second prince, how did Ruian know this week?

"Can your spies even find this?" Jiang Qingyue asked curiously.

Zhou Ruian couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips: "Do you still need to check this?" Qingyue, you, you don't understand men, and you can make a man with great ambitions like the second prince make such a decadent color, not for power, but for women. ”

When the Duke of Dingguo died, the second prince was sad, but it was far from this point, and now Emperor Xuande's attitude towards the Duke of Dingguo has eased, so it is definitely not for the sake of rights, then there are only women.

Jiang Qingyue figured out the key to it, and couldn't help but sigh: "Ask what the world is like, and the direct teaching promises life and death." ”

Jiang Qingyue thought of Zhou Rui'an, a smart life, but he treated her with deep affection, and then thought of the second prince, who was born noble, and was a dragon and phoenix among people, but now he is also trapped by love, so he was a little emotional for a while.

Jiang Qingyue couldn't hide his curiosity and said: "I don't know what kind of woman it is, she can make the second prince fall in love with her so much, she can't love it, she can't ask for it, it's really curious!" ”

Zhou Ruian glanced at her silently, he felt that at this time, he should be quiet and not have to say anything.

Zhou Ruian decided to change the topic: "By the way, what is the matter with the scholar coming to you?" You don't look like idleness. ”

Jiang Qingyue didn't intend to hide it from him, and said lightly: "What can I want to know, what can it be?" ”

Jiang Qingyue has always had only one thing, and that is her life experience.

Zhou Rui'an's expression paused, "Yes, can there be progress?" ”

Jiang Qingyue raised his head and looked at Zhou Rui'an, his eyes were obscure: "You actually already knew it, so why bother to ask me?" ”

"Qingyue ......"

Jiang Qingyue turned his head and said indifferently: "I have already found out that the person who went to Dali Temple in Dingguo received something that made him change his mind and go to Dali Temple in person. ”

Zhou Rui'an's eyes fell on her, and the corners of his mouth suddenly hooked: "Very good guess." ”

"Then let me continue to guess, the person who went to see Dingguo Gong should be the person from Qin Guifei, right? Because the person who stole the child from the palace back then could only be the queen! Jiang Qingyue continued, looking at Zhou Rui'an: "All along, you have resisted me to continue to track down my life experience, because you have known for a long time that my life experience will cause trouble and even killing. ”

Zhou Rui'an's eyes flashed.

Seeing his expression, Jiang Qingyue smiled: "It seems that I guessed correctly, the old embroidery lady said that most of Chen Xiu's embroidery was sent to the palace, if this is the case, I have nothing to do with the Chen family, then it is very likely to have something to do with the palace." As she spoke, she looked at Zhou Rui'an: "This is all my guess, you know the truth, if I guess wrong, you can remind me." ”

Zhou Ruian was choked by Jiang Qingyue's words, paused, and his gaze fell to the side, "Qingyue, do you know? A long time ago, there was a child, he often saw other friends eating a kind of candy man, he also wanted to eat it, but his father never bought it for him, and told him that this sugar man was not delicious, but the child did not believe it, he felt that his parents must have lied to him. ”

"This kid has been thinking about what that sugar man is like, and then the child thinks that he must earn a lot of silver in the future, and he can buy a candy man to eat by himself, so he has been working very hard, and finally earned the silver, he was very happy, and he went to buy a sugar man in high spirits."

Zhou Ruian said, looking at Jiang Qingyue: "But when he ate the sugar man, he was disgusted, because it was not as delicious as he imagined, and even a little sweet and greasy, the child couldn't believe it, this was the sugar man he had been longing for, he was very disappointed, and after that, he found that he no longer had the feeling of being extremely eager for a thing, and he no longer had the persistence to work hard in order to get something." ”

"Actually, think about it, if this kid uses his obsession with sugar man to do something else, maybe he can succeed as well, but he chooses the wrong goal, and in the end loses his most valuable fighting spirit."

"You mean, I'm like the child who insists on eating candy people, in fact, someone has already told me that sugar people are not delicious, if I had believed in you a long time ago, don't cling to my life experience, maybe I will live better?" Jiang Qingyue said.

Zhou Ruian didn't speak, Jiang Qingyue has always been smart, so he can naturally understand his metaphors.

Jiang Qingyue said: "However, if I don't see it with my own eyes and taste it myself, how can I be willing?" There are a lot of delicious things in this world, but there is no 'sugar man' that I want to get with all my might. ”

Jiang Qingyue met his gaze, "You have been blocking me, and you are unwilling to let me investigate my life experience, not just because it may lead to death, right?" Because, most likely, it will affect our relationship. ”

Zhou Rui'an's face suddenly changed, and his eyes became sharp.

Jiang Qingyue continued: "I didn't understand before, why did you do everything possible to stop me, and even give me wrong information to mislead me, and even did not hesitate to find the Chen family's case, just to make me believe that I might be the daughter of the Chen family, you already knew at that time." ”

“…… Yes, I already knew. Zhou Ruian said abruptly: "I don't want to lie to you." ”

He did a lot to hide her background, but he couldn't lie to her.
