At dinner, Yu Wenyu asked the kitchen to cook a few dishes that Jin Zhao liked to eat on weekdays, and sent someone to invite Jin Zhao to the flower hall for dinner.

I ate a lot during the day, but Jin Zhao didn't have much appetite for the dishes he usually likes to eat, and he put down his chopsticks before he ate two bites.

"How?" Yu Wenyu raised his eyes and asked, "Today's meal is not to your liking?" Why don't you pull it down and ask them to redo it? ”

Let's just say that she has to eat two or three pieces of sweet and sour short ribs in front of her every time, but she hasn't moved today.

Jin Zhao waved his hand and said: "It's not their problem, the food is delicious, it's just that I ate a lot at Concubine Ru's place during the day, and I can't eat it for a while."

She is a woman, and her appetite is not big, so she really can't eat so much.

Yu Wenyu nodded and said, "It seems that I ate a lot in the palace today, but since Madame has no appetite, I won't eat it." After saying that, he immediately put down his chopsticks.

Seeing this, Jin Zhao looked at the table full of her favorite dishes, thought about it, and finally picked up the chopsticks to pick up the dishes for Yu Wenyu, and said while clipping: "I heard that the three princes didn't use chopsticks much for lunch, so they should eat more."

In the past, he was the one who picked up vegetables for her, but today Jin Zhao took the initiative to pick up vegetables for himself, Yu Wenyu was naturally very happy in his heart, a touch of warmth rose at the corner of his mouth, and he nodded in response.

Yu Wenyu said casually while eating: "I heard that Yan Xue went to Wuxi Palace again today, and I met you?"

Jin Zhao's hand immediately paused, and raised his eyes to look at the other party: "How did the third prince know about my meeting with Yan Xue?"

He is obviously in the house today, how did he know about the things in the palace? Thinking of this, Jin Zhao's heart tightened, could it be that there was his eyeliner in the palace?

The initial surprise made Jin Zhao stunned for a while, but when he came to his senses and thought about it carefully, he felt that there was nothing strange.

When Concubine Ru saw that the current saint's order was not long in coming, and when she and her brother Li Yingwai tried to force the palace, Yu Wenyu learned the news in advance, so he didn't let the other party succeed, if he hadn't planted eyeliner, how could he have known Concubine Ru's plan in advance.

Jin Zhao just didn't expect Yu Wenyu to use this trick on her one day, and even knew her whereabouts.

Jin Zhao took a deep breath, his face was slightly unhappy, his words and deeds were under the control of others, as if he was trapped in a cage bird, and there was no freedom at all.

This time, she didn't hide her unhappiness, but deliberately showed it on her face, put down the chopsticks casually, and stopped picking up vegetables for him. Yu Wenyu knew that she was unhappy, so he naturally stopped and explained to her: "At the beginning, your Su family was in front of Concubine Ru, I once told you that Concubine Ru is not as generous as you see, in this deep palace, but anyone who disagrees with her will end up with nothing good in the end." Take the beginning of last month as an example, there was a little palace maid in her palace who served the tea bowl for a while, and then asked someone to drag it out to be killed alive, the little palace maid was only thirteen years old, which is the age of flowers, if it is in an ordinary family, it is also deeply loved by her parents, and if she is not as good as her, she will lose her life, which can be seen in her eyes, face is much more important than people's lives. ”

Hearing this, thinking of the little palace maid who was killed, Jin Zhao's mood was a little complicated. When she was as old as the little palace maid, she was a treasure in the hands of her parents, her father loved her, her mother protected her, and even the people in the house never had no respect for her in private, and her life could be described as carefree, and she didn't have to be vigilant and cautious everywhere. Do everything according to your own preferences, you don't even need to look at people's faces, you don't have to care about other people's eyes, and you don't have to look at your own grievances to cater to others.

"Your father is deeply valued by his father and the emperor at the moment, and he has a heavy army, so Concubine Ru is naturally a little more fearful, but it is inevitable that she will not give up her thoughts. Every time you go back to the palace, I have to worry about it, and I will ask people to keep an eye on it. For fear that she will take the opportunity to take advantage of your mistakes, after all, she has been in the palace for many years, and it is not difficult to take a person's mistakes. If she really grabs some trick and takes the opportunity to stir up trouble, it is difficult to guarantee that this dirty water will not be splashed on you. There was a pause in his tone, "I did this out of concern for you, and I hope you won't be upset about this matter and misunderstand me." ”

Hearing this, Jin Zhao's eyes were slightly red, she didn't know Yu Wenyu's true intention to do this, and after hearing and understanding, she was moved by his approach for a moment, but she misunderstood him.

What kind of person is Concubine Ru, and all kinds of past events that happened in her previous life, she can't remember them very clearly, and she can even say them one by one. People like her are unscrupulous in order to achieve their goals, and it is not once or twice.

It's just that she didn't expect Yu Wenyu to worry about her, which made her a little surprised.

After a while, Jin Zhao opened his mouth and said, "I'm not an unreasonable person, since the third prince did this out of concern for me, I have nothing to say." But although I'm just a girl, I'm not just a random bully. ”

She said this, just to let Yu Wenyu not have to worry too much, Su Jinzhao in the previous life was naturally ignorant of the world, naïve and simple, but in front of her, after experiencing those things, she has long lost the innocence she had at the beginning, she knows the sinister nature of people's hearts, and she also understands the warmth and coldness of people's hearts.

The most poisonous thing in this world is the human heart, and sometimes the most harmful to you is often not the wanton harm of others, but the closest people around you, when you are caught off guard, stab you fiercely. By the time you react, it seems too late.

A touch of surprise flashed in Yuwen Yu's eyes, and he quickly disappeared again, suddenly thought of something, put on a smile again, and said: "Madame, this is the truth, presumably Yan Xue was not lightly angry with Madame today."

When Jin Zhao heard this, he was slightly stunned, and he didn't react to the meaning of his words for a while, but when he understood it, his face instantly turned red.

The words she said to Yan Xue today were naturally deliberately said to the other party, but she just wanted to be angry with the other party, and she never thought that it would reach Yu Wenyu's ears. If she could do it all over again, she wouldn't say that.

Seeing his evil smile, Jin Zhao glared at him angrily, and immediately explained: "I don't know what I said today reached your ears, but don't misunderstand, even if I really said something, it was just for the sake of anger."

is obviously the bane he caused, but now he asked her to clean up for him, but he was watching the excitement from the sidelines, thinking of this, Jin Zhao was so angry that he didn't fight. She must have been hot-headed at the beginning, and she was dizzy for a moment before agreeing to marry him.

Usually in front of him, she always looks calm, Yu Wenyu rarely sees her so angry, but fortunately, she did not show an indifferent look in the face of Yan Xue, which shows that she has a place for him in her heart.

Inevitably, she continued to be angry with herself, and Yu Wenyu responded again and again: "Okay, okay, whatever Mrs. says, it's just that the next time I praise my husband, it's in front of me, there's no need to take someone to say it."

Hearing this, Jin Zhao got up and left, so as not to listen to him continue to talk nonsense here.

Just as she was about to stand up, Yu Wenyu seemed to have expected it, stretched out his hand to stop her, leaned over and whispered to her: "This meal is not finished yet, Madame is about to leave the table, in front of the next person, it is not good after all." If it spreads one day, others will mistakenly think that our husband and wife are not harmonious. ”

Jin Zhao glanced at him, who can blame this, he also knows that it is not good for people to hear it, since he knows, he still says that.

Why did he become reasonable, but he was unreasonable?

In desperation, Jin Zhao sat down again, and said to him angrily: "The third prince should stop talking nonsense, the maids are all watching."

As they spoke, Qiao Ci and Qingwen couldn't help but purse their lips and laugh.

Yu Wenyu glanced at the maids who were waiting, and Qiao Ci understood it, so he led them to retreat.

After everyone left, Yu Wenyu said softly: "I sent them away, Mrs. can rest assured now."

Between the words, Yu Wenyu seemed to be in a very good mood. Although Jin Zhao deliberately praised him in front of people because he was angry with Yan Xue, during the day, when Yu Wenyu heard his subordinates coming and going, he was still happy in his heart.

As far as he knew, she didn't often boast about him in front of people.

Jin Zhao raised his eyes and glanced at the dishes on the table, and then looked at the dishes in Yu Wenyu's bowl, although he had been here for a long time, he almost didn't eat a few bites, hesitated for a moment, and then reminded loudly: "You better eat more, so as not to get cold later."

Yu Wenyu said "um", and talked to her while eating: "If the concubine sent someone to deliver the invitation, I originally wanted you to make up your own mind, who would have thought that you would agree, I would have known that I would help you make the decision, but I am afraid that after you know, you will blame me for making a decision for you in private, think about it again and again, and think that it is up to you to decide whether to go or not."

Jin Zhao's eyebrows moved, and he said thoughtfully: "If you have an idea for me and refuse, then I am afraid I will not see such a wonderful drama today."

This is clearly something in the words, how can Yu Wenyu not hear it.

"Really? I wonder what happened during the day? Yu Wenyu asked.

Jin Zhao looked at him, thinking to himself how he couldn't guess Concubine Ru's intentions with his cleverness, and asked so knowingly, what is this.

Jin Zhao asked quietly, "What, you really don't know?"

An intriguing smile appeared at the corner of Yu Wenyu's mouth, and his eyes were a little invisible.

He said: "I do know something, and I don't know if it's the truth, but in fact, I mainly want to hear my wife tell me in person."

He was honest when he said that.

Jin Zhao didn't sell anything to him, so he said: "You must have guessed that if the concubine held a banquet today, most of the women invited were women from the official family who had not left the cabinet, saying that they were invited to the palace for a small gathering, but in fact, it was not the case, in the final analysis, it was for the second prince's business." After all, he has reached the age of marriage, and he is the prince of today, so he always has to choose a favorite woman to marry him, as his concubine, she naturally has to bother. As he spoke, he suddenly changed his words and asked him, "There are a lot of official women here today, all of them are slim and slim, and many of them are top-notch. As everyone knows, it's just useless work. ”

Speaking of this, Jin Zhao suddenly stopped and stopped talking, and looked at Yu Wenyu with a pair of eyes, as if waiting for him to speak.

The smile on Yu Wenyu's face was still there, looking at Jin Zhao's unhurried appearance, he said casually: "Since it is useless work, presumably Concubine Ru should have a favorite candidate in her heart."

Sure enough, he really understood it in his heart, but he just didn't say it.

The smile on the corner of Jin Zhao's lips deepened a little: "So, have you guessed whose daughter is Concubine Ru's favorite?"

Yu Wenyu didn't play dumb riddles, nodded and said: "Now your father and Yan Ge Lao have a very high prestige in the court, but it's a pity that you have married me, and Concubine Ru is an arrogant person, your concubine must not be able to enter her eyes, besides, the second prince is the meat of her heart, and she has high hopes for him, so naturally she will not allow him to marry a concubine, and if it is passed on, I am afraid that she will lose face, such a face-damaging thing, with her temperament, she will definitely not do it." As he spoke, he raised his eyes to look at her, "In this way, since the Su family's road is not going through, Concubine Ru will consider the Yan family, besides, Yan Xue has an outstanding appearance, a good reputation, and a name in Kyoto, this is a very good family affair for Concubine Ru right now, and the person she likes is naturally Yan Xue." ”

A look of surprise flashed in Jin Zhao's eyes, she didn't expect Yu Wenyu to see this matter so thoroughly, but it was beyond her expectations. But if you think about it carefully, he is a smart person, otherwise he would not have stood out among the many princes and became a person who is favored by the saints.

can bring down Concubine Ru, which shows how much thought he has put into these people.

Jin Zhao smiled and said, "What you said is true, Concubine Ru is indeed interested in Yan Xue, but since she has already decided on a candidate in her heart, why did she take great pains to arrange this today and invite the daughter of a courtier into the palace, wouldn't it be too much?"

She looked at him to see what he thought of it.

Yu Wenyu took a bite of the dish and said unhurriedly: "This is the most clever place for Concubine Ru, there are not a few women who want to marry my second brother right now, if someone goes to Concubine Ru in advance to find out, after all, it is a courtier, if he refuses, his face will inevitably pass." Besides, if she needs to win over the courtiers now, she can't make any trouble, this is nothing more than showing her heart to others, even if other people have this idea, it is not good to talk more. I don't know if I'm right? ”

After listening to these words quietly, Jin Zhao had to admire Yu Wenyu's cleverness, thinking that he had already seen all this. Indeed, he saw this matter very thoroughly, and he also knew the intention of Concubine Ru. If she hadn't asked today, I wonder if he would have taken the initiative to tell herself?

Jin Zhao looked at the sky and said slowly: "It's not too early, I'm a little sleepy, go back and freshen up first."

The night was getting cooler, looking at the back of the woman gradually leaving, Yu Wenyu slowly put away the smile on his face.
