(8) The gentleman's demeanor wins the hearts of the people
"Childe, this is the map of Yu Ruocheng drawn by his subordinates, please take a look at it."
"Okay."
In Hengxiang Courtyard, after the three of them had lunch, Lian Qingjue felt that the weather was good today, so he asked Fan Yao to prepare tables and chairs under the corridor, planning to sit outside in the sun and read books. And before I finished reading a page of "History of the Boyan Kingdom", I saw Yang Qingwei walking over with a map that had just been drawn.
"Yes, detailed enough."
After carefully browsing the map, Lian Qingjue praised.
This map of Yang Qingwei is really detailed, in addition to the main roads in the city, even the small roads in the remote streets and alleys seem to be not missing.
"Childe has won the award, and this also has Fan Yao's credit."
Yang Qingwei smiled, and then invited Fan Yao by the way, and he felt that if he could get Lian Qingjue's appreciation, the hard work of the past few days would not be in vain.
"Subordinate...... The subordinates didn't do anything either. ”
Fan Yao on the side couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard Yang Qingwei say this, and then he was a little ashamed, although he did go out with Yang Qingwei to investigate the situation in the city, but because he was not good at drawing maps, he didn't actually make much effort.
"Hehe, when did you two become so humble?"
Lian Qingjue chuckled, then folded the map and sandwiched it into a book he often read. And Fan Yao and Yang Qingwei glanced at each other, and they both looked a little awkward.
In fact, Yang Qingwei was not familiar with Lian Qingjue when he was in Yuguo, he just knew that Lian Qingjue and the emperor had a very good relationship since childhood, when he was a child, he almost died in order to save the emperor, and then in the palace, he would also hear different people talk about Lian Qingjue from time to time, but what they said was nothing more than how ruthless and ruthless Lian Qingjue was, so whenever he met Lian Qingjue before, although he would not deliberately avoid it, he never took the initiative to talk to him.
However, more than half a month ago, the emperor ordered him to follow Lian Qingjue to this Yanguo, ostensibly to protect Lian Qingjue's safety, but in fact, he was monitoring him to see if he had any bad intentions. Although Yang Qingwei did not agree with the emperor's questioning of the intersection of life and death since childhood, after all, he was just a courtier, so he could only act according to orders.
But since following Lian Qingjue, he slowly discovered that this Lian Qingjue is actually the same as the rumored ...... It's very different. Although Lian Qingjue's health is not good, his appearance of being calm and calm all the time is really admirable. And it is also obvious from his relationship with Fan Yao that this person is not only not as ruthless as rumored, but also a true gentleman, I really don't know why the emperor is suspicious of such a bright and upright person.
"Yang Qingwei! Yang Qingwei! Poplar! Green! Wei! ”
"Huh? What's wrong? ”
Next to the table, Yang Qingwei was standing there and was upset for Lian Qingjue in his heart, and decided that he must work hard to get more recognition from Lian Qingjue, and strive to have a good relationship with Fan Yao, who obviously didn't like him, but suddenly heard Fan Yao's voice.
"What are you thinking about, so engrossed?"
Fan Yao glanced at Yang Qingwei and then pursed his lips.
"Childe asked you."
"Uh-oh."
Yang Qingwei was a little embarrassed and hurriedly bowed down to face Lian Qingjue.
"Childe forgives his sins, his subordinates have just lost their minds."
"It's fine."
Lian Qingjue leaned lazily on the chair, feeling the warm spring in the courtyard.
"If there's nothing to do in the afternoon, why don't we go out for a walk? Since I came to this Yuruo City, I haven't gone out for a walk. ”
"It's just right, I heard that the annual Peach Blossom Festival in Yuruocheng is being held on the outskirts of the city these days, if the son is not too noisy, he can also go and join in the fun."
Yang Qingwei remembered the news about the Peach Blossom Festival he had heard in the city in the past few days, so he suggested.
"Peach Blossom Festival?"
Lian Qingjue was still leaning on the back of the chair, the corners of her lips slightly hooked.
"Then let's go and have a look, just to see the customs of the Yan country."
"Yes, then go down and arrange the carriage."
"Hmm."
Seeing Yang Qingwei leaving quickly, Lian Qingjue looked at Fan Yao with some amusement.
"Fan Yao, so far, how has your opinion of this Yang Qingwei changed?"
"What can make a difference?"
Fan Yao muttered. Well, he admitted that after this period of contact, this Yang Qingwei seems to be really not a villain as Gongzi said, but people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, who knows if he will do anything unfavorable to Gongzi for the emperor?
"Huh."
Shaking his head with a smile, Lian Qingjue stood up and stretched a big waist. This Fan Yao has been by his side for many years, and his little caution can't be hidden in front of him at all. But it's good that he is not all hostile to Yang Qingwei, otherwise if there is chaos within his side first, then I am afraid that the days after will be even more sad.
"Childe, the carriage is ready."
But after a while, Yang Qingwei came back again. Then he looked at Lian Qingjue and said with some hesitation:
"The prince wants to leave the house, but do you want to talk to the second prince?"
"What do you tell him to do?"
Before Lian Qingjue could speak, Fan Yao took the lead.
"Childe is here to help him, a guest, not his prisoner, is it possible that he has to get his consent wherever he goes?"
"This ......"
Although Fan Yao's words also made some sense, Yang Qingwei still looked at Lian Qingjue.
"Go talk to the second prince."
Lian Qingjue said.
"Since we are guests, although the second prince can't restrict our freedom, if we want to go out, we should always tell the master."
"Yes."
Fan Yao has never dared to disobey his son-in-law's words, so he had no choice but to glare at Yang Qingwei, and then go to Yan Xige.
"Yang Guard, Fan Yao's nature is not bad, don't take some of his words and deeds to heart."
Seeing Fan Yao walking away, Lian Qingjue turned his head to Yang Qingwei and said.
"My subordinates understand."
Yang Qingwei looked at Lian Qingjue with some surprise, he didn't expect Lian Qingjue to be able to do so much for his subordinates.
"That's good, after all, the days to come will only be more dangerous, you are more thoughtful than Fan Yao, and you will have to mention him more in the future."
"Yes."
Knowing that Lian Qingjue told himself that he had already recognized himself, Yang Qingwei felt that he had never been so happy as he was at this moment.
"Huh."
Lian Qingjue laughed twice, and then stood there looking at the graceful willow branches in the courtyard, not knowing what he was thinking.
