Chapter 68: Continued Suppression

The wind blew all night, but the snow didn't know how long. When I woke up the next morning, when the sun was shining through the clouds, the heavens and the earth were already crystal clear.

The thin mist is like the graceful white gauze on the bedside, fluttering lightly between heaven and earth, and the white gauze falls on the bare branches to form a rime, and the branches are graceful, like a night of spring breeze blowing away thousands of trees and pear blossoms.

The white fog dissipated, and under the cloudless blue sky, a plain white beauty was overwhelming.

The two hundred-year-old ginkgo trees in the East Palace are green and golden. Now it's a tree's silver outfit. The prince wore a fur jacket studded with black fox fur and a large coat on the outside, and stood under the tree to enjoy the biggest feast of ice and snow since the beginning of winter.

It's just that the boxy sky blocking his gaze when he looks up, even if there is sunshine, the breeze is still bitterly cold, and the prince's plump and white face floats crimson like a stroke, and the exhaled breath instantly condenses into mist.

The inky black cloud of Chai Lie, who had entered the palace early, was like a blood-stained cloud pattern, like a black spot in the pure white snow, which was eye-catching behind the prince, and with their slow footsteps, a series of footprints were left behind them.

"Zhuo Yinfeng told you himself, but he didn't enter the palace?" The prince's words were faint, and they drifted behind him with the wind.

"Yes, Your Highness, he told me about this on the way to the palace this morning, because it involved his daughter, so he didn't come to greet His Highness in person, saying that it was to avoid suspicion."

"Zhuo Qianqian is good at pipa, but she wants to play "Guangling San" with Zhuo Jinyu at the court banquet to please her father, and directly bypass the prince, isn't it a bit reluctant!" The prince smiled coldly, shocking to the incomprehensible Shen Fu and arrogance.

"That Zhuo Jinyu came from a low background, even if he entered the Nangong Marquis Mansion and became an uncle, but Zhuo Yinfeng was very unwelcome, and his identity has always been in the fog, even if the prince cares about the face of Nangong Hou and gives a Taichang Temple Si Le, it will not be able to ascend to the hall of elegance."

Chai Lie cautiously looked at the prince's expression, but his mind was turning quickly

"I heard that Nangong Hou said that the relationship between Zhuo Qianqian and Zhuo Jinyu seems to have changed a little recently, Zhuo Jinyu seems to have been performing, it is said that he also swore to quit gambling and strive to be motivated, this time I want to perform at the court meeting, winning Long Yan is on the one hand, and on the other hand, I also want to give the prince and Nangong Hou a chance to perform, Zhuo Jinyu just wants to say that he can still support the wall."

The prince smiled "hehe", hiding all his suspicions and surprises behind that condensed face: "Whether you want to win the approval of my father and me, or whether I want to win the hearts of beauties, or if I have any other intentions, I can't say yet!" ”

The prince's eyes were cold, like a piece of snow falling into his eyes, and the sudden cold made Chai Lie dare not look directly: "But before his identity is confirmed, you can't let him jump too high, you can arrange it yourself!" ”

The vicissitudes of Chai Lie are not as obvious as the weak Nangong Hou, and his eyes are still dark, but the ruthlessness is undiminished.

Chai Lie's two thick eyebrows frowned, and he responded respectfully: "Yes!" ”

"But I also have to take into account Nangong Hou, the household department is now the key to the fight between me and King Yi, don't do too much so as not to hurt Zhuo Qianqian and make this prince embarrassed, you understand."

"The little one understands! Then do you want to inform Nangong Hou. ”

A gust of wind passed, and the snow that had accumulated on the branches fell, and he flicked the snow on his shoulders and said: "The Marquis of Nangong has already avoided suspicion, if you deliberately conceal it, it will really look like a raw matter." Originally, he had to take care of Zhuo Qianqian, and it didn't hurt to inform him and let him have a number in his heart. ”

"Yes!"

The sun was rising, and the light of the snow was becoming more and more dazzling, and it would make people snow blind if they looked at it for a long time, and the prince did not linger in the snow scene of this morning, and turned around and walked towards the main hall. The azure brocade curtain is embroidered with magnolia and peony, implying the wealth of the jade hall, and the fragrance of the blue fragrance behind the curtain and the warmth of the dragon on the ground come to the face.

The prince rubbed his hands, put a pair of slender hands like jade on the brazier to keep warm, the warmth flowed all over his body, the prince let out a long breath and turned around and asked, "Is there any movement on King Yi's side recently?" ”

Chai Lie pouted: "It's very quiet, even after the bandits came back, he was quiet after he came back, he was a great achievement in catching the bandit leader, but in the end, the emperor rewarded you, Your Highness, and I didn't dare to say much, so I could only hold it in my own house!" ”

The prince raised his eyes and glanced at Chai Lie coldly: "I can't speak anymore, is it possible that you mean that the prince has robbed people?" ”

Chai Lie's panicked hand shrank: "No! The little ones don't dare! The little one just said that the deployment of troops to pacify the bandits was arranged by the prince, and this work is naturally the prince! Immediately after bowing his head, a drop of cold sweat slid down Chai Lie's sideburns.

"Be careful what you say!" The prince lowered his eyes, covering up the heat reflected in the brazier's eyes, "Don't fall into the mouth!" ”

Chai Lie replied resignedly, and said with a smile: "Recently, I heard that there is an embroidery girl who has a good embroidery in King Yi's mansion, and she is rushing to make a picture of a hundred sons playing in spring, Princess Yi is not pregnant, and the concubines in the palace are not pregnant. ”

The prince smiled proudly: "Could it be that his hundred sons are prepared for this prince!" ”

"It's possible to look small!" Chai Lie frowned, his thick eyebrows hovered over his square forehead and looked like a worm crawling in his heart, "If it had been changed before, King Yi had not gotten the first credit to pacify the bandits, I am afraid that he would have been angry and smashed things at home, but this time it was unusually quiet, and it also made people embroider pictures, if it was really for the crown princess, then King Yi's attitude had changed, and he no longer had the heart to win the heir?" ”

The prince's eyebrows furrowed when he heard this, and then he stretched out again, looking sideways at Chai Lie.

The warmth in the hall and the red light of the brazier made his face flushed, but the deep coldness in his eyes was undiminished: "My father is old, and time can't wait for anyone." King Yi has no way to turn over, if he really has a change, it is also thinking about the safety of his people, and he wants to leave a way back! ”

Whether to go or stay depends on the prince's heart, after fighting for so many years, he was finally defeated, thinking of the past battles, King Yi once held three parts and fought against himself, and the prince's teeth are urgently bitten. His eyes were like a piece of ice that was silent in the sea, and he didn't melt for a moment.

"It's too early to say," the prince stared at the wisps of milky white green smoke on the incense burner, and said coldly: "Wait until that day to talk slowly!" ”

This sentence is like settling accounts after the autumn, after waiting for so many years, can't he wait for this last bit of time? It never matters how long it takes, it's who makes it to the end.

"Yes!" Chai Lie responded! Everything that can be reported has been said, and Chai Lie, who has nothing to do at the moment, also retreated, and the huge and gorgeous main hall of the prince's mansion suddenly quieted down, as if only the prince was left.
