Chapter 21 Coral Bracelet Night Whispering in the Trees
Listening to the recommendation of the second prince, the government and the opposition are not shocked, and they can be said to be full of discussions. The courtiers, led by the third prince and the fourth prince, had already investigated the promotions of Chen Lin and Ji Heng openly and secretly, and they couldn't see that the two princes had a deep relationship with the two of them.
Chen Lin and Ji Heng have become celebrities in Beijing in the past two days, and the house is full of people, although they are all congratulating on their promotions, but they are also openly and secretly knocking on the side to inquire, the relationship between the two of them and the second prince. Chen Lin and Ji Heng naturally hated forming a party for personal gain, but because it was the recommendation of the second prince this time, and the second prince just sent someone to the door to give a small gift, they never showed up again. In contrast, the two of them admired the second prince on a higher level, and they rejected the rest of the flatterers.
In the second prince's mansion, the staff saw that the situation was very good, so they hurriedly went to the study to discuss with the second prince, the second prince was practicing calligraphy, and the staff said eagerly: "Back to His Royal Highness, now Chen Lin and Ji Heng, the two adults, have disappeared from the two adults who entered the mansion to congratulate their promotion." And compared with this clinging person, our house is more outstanding, and we are not in a hurry, these two adults are already in our pocket, or we will take them under our command in one fell swoop. ”
The second prince did not put down the pen, but his eyes focused on the paper, but said to the staff: "Now is the inopportune time, the mother emperor's eyes are firmly fixed, we don't need to take risks." What's more, as long as these two adults have merit in comparing us with others, even if they are not our people, they will help them when they need it in the future, remembering my kindness. What's more, this court dispute is not won by numbers. ”
The staff suddenly realized, but they were embarrassed to say: "Originally, the minister was your staff, but he was extremely stupid, and it seemed that I was not thoughtful enough to follow His Highness." ”
The second prince smiled: "Brother Yu doesn't have to say this, since you and I still have a few staff members, and we must discuss things together, besides, Brother Yu's Yun Gang can also be regarded as my right-hand man, and they have helped me find out a lot of news over the years." ”
When the staff saw the second prince raise like this, he also sighed in his heart, and just said: "The minister was originally just a grass coward in the rivers and lakes, but fortunately, His Royal Highness was able to revitalize the Yun Gang, and the Yun Gang can serve His Royal Highness, which is the blessing of my Yuxingtian and the blessing of the Yun Gang." With that, he retired.
The second prince swayed the pen and ink clean, and then put the pen back on the inkstone, and there was no one else in the study, but only looked at the sentence he wrote: "Rush to the clouds, break Kyushu, and wait for Zhongxing." He threw it aside as a ball of waste paper.
And Shangguan Wan was in charge of the first thing of the Jinxuan Division, but it was also for the empress to find out the relationship between the second prince and Chen Lin and Ji Heng. On the other hand, the third prince and the fourth prince, as well as Princess Chun'an and Princess Yun'an, came to the door more, but after a few days, the Chen Mansion and the Ji Mansion no longer entertained guests.
When the Empress heard the news, she did not say a word.
The lights in the Weiyang Palace are bright, but there are few palace people, and usually the things of the Jinxuan Division are reported to His Majesty only after the palace has been withdrawn.
Shangguan Wan knelt down and replied: "Your Majesty, the minister has sent Jin Xuansi's subordinates to visit the vicinity of Chen Mansion and Ji Mansion in the past few days, and the Second Highness did only send someone to send a congratulatory gift and no longer came to the door, while the Third Highness also had the Fourth Highness and the two princesses, in addition to sending people, they also came to the door in person, but then the two adults stopped entertaining."
The empress smiled: "The third and fourth children and my two daughters are not calm, which is also what I expected." ”
Shangguan Wan asked, "But do you still need Weichen to send someone to check again?" ”
The empress got up and waved her hand: "That's it, the second child has been calm since he was a child, and he is not quite deep in the city, but he is definitely smart enough. ”
Shangguan Wan admitted: "Yes"
Jin Xuan Si has its own territory outside the palace, although Shangguan Wan is in charge of Jin Xuan Si, because she is still a personal female official by the empress's side, she does not often stay in Jin Xuan Si.
In the evening of this day, it was getting late, and Shangguan Wan took Qi Xin out of the palace and went to Jinxuansi, since the empress explained that she didn't have to stare at the Second Highness anymore, she also had to explain the manpower problem.
The place chosen by Jin Xuansi is secluded, there are a few towering trees in the house, which are much higher than the houses in the house, and in the night, the breeze floats but it seems a little more ghostly shadow.
Although there are a few people in the house who are not convinced, a girl came to take charge of the Jinxuan Division, thinking that it is the face of the empress's personal female official, which can be regarded as polite.
Just finished explaining in the main hall, the palace ban time has arrived, and it is a little troublesome to return to the palace, so I stayed in the Jinxuan Division. Qi Xin went back to the side room to rest first. Shangguan Wan was pacing in the courtyard, and the empress seemed to have relaxed her vigilance, and she seemed to have never let go of the mustard in her heart.
Suddenly, a person flew down from between the towering trees, and before Shangguan Wan had time to shout, the person flew back to the tree with her, and let her go on the tree, Shangguan Wan found out that it was the second prince, and the second highness just lightly made a shushing gesture. Shangguan Wan was silent.
The second prince suddenly laughed softly: "You girl, you are not afraid, ordinary girls have long been scared."
Shangguan Wan sat on a branch and dangled her two dangling legs, staring at the second prince: "If someone wants to put me to death, I will shout to break the sky, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape, not to mention that my temperament is already slow, I was frightened just now, and I forgot to shout."
The second prince suddenly changed his words and asked, "Jinxuansi has been keeping an eye on it these days, and I haven't even come out of the mansion, do you know?" ”
Shangguan Wan looked into his eyes and asked, "Since His Highness only wished me to take charge of the Jinxuan Division a few days ago, I have to ask knowingly." I am now in charge of the Jinxuan Division, and naturally those people were also sent by me. ”
The second prince smiled: "You are articulate, and you are good at talking to people, I am not here to coerce you to ask, and naturally I am not trying to win you over, I just want to ask you what your mother and queen mean now?" ”
Shangguan Wan played with the bell on her wrist and said with a smile: "Your Highness is smart, since you can know that I am staying in Jinxuansi today, presumably your staff, or eyeliner has already told you, today Jinxuansi will no longer go to wait in front of the mansion of several His Highnesses and Lord Chen and Master Ji, Your Majesty naturally does not doubt and guess."
The second prince was stunned: "How do you know that I have staff?" ”
Shangguan Wan shook the bell before he continued: "If Your Highness didn't get the news, why did you know that you came to this Jinxuan Division to look for me today?" His Royal Highness is the identity of the prince, it is very easy to enter the palace, do not go to Weiyang Palace to find me, but in this secluded Jinxuan Division will catch me on this towering tree for questioning, if you don't have eyeliner or staff, do you believe it? ”
The second prince was choked and speechless, so he had to nod: "Lord Si Qing is very smart, Chongrui admires and admires, in addition to asking you today, I wish you a promotion a few days ago, and I haven't given you a congratulatory gift yet, and tonight is also here to give you a congratulatory gift."
After that, he took out a string of purple gold coral bracelets from his arms, looked at her hand shaking the bell, reached out and grabbed it for her to bring it up, and then said: "This bracelet is not precious, but I once went to the East China Sea to do business, and I got it, and it is not a tribute. ”
Shangguan Wan looked at the bracelet in her hand, and saw that His Royal Highness, who was humble and majestic in front of others, was a little scoundrel in front of him, so he had to shake his hand: "Thank you Your Highness for your heart, since this is the case, I will laugh and accept it." But Your Highness's business is done, but you can send me back to this ground, I am not a martial arts person, I really can't go down, if I call someone, I don't know how to explain that I have climbed to the top of this towering tree."
After that, the second prince picked her up by the waist and slowly galloped down, the wind blew on her face, and Li Chongrui was a good smell of white sandalwood.
Put her on the ground, and the Second Highness made a light effort to climb over the courtyard wall and walked.
Thinking about it, I have to find a reason to clean up the people of this Jinxuan Division, Shangguan Wan only thinks that this day is getting more and more interesting.
