Chapter 170 - A Gesture of Effort
A lifetime of a couple,
Half drunk, half awake, half floating!
Looking at the poems on the cup, Yu Chi Jingyao was even more enthusiastic, excited like a child, took the cup in Yingxiang's hand, and was about to rush towards the princess's mansion.
He couldn't figure out why Ye Wanruo cared about him so much, why he refused his father's marriage for them, why he said such decisive words, and why he turned a blind eye to him, and these can only be answered by the tormenting and lovely person inside.
At this moment, Yingxiang hurriedly stepped forward again to stop her: "Holy Lord, please stay!" ”
Yu Chi Jingyao stopped again and looked at the calm Yingxiang, his eyes were once again full of surprise.
I saw Yingxiang step forward and speak slowly again: "Doesn't the Holy Lord still understand the mind of our young lady?" Since the young lady has made such a choice, she must have considered it, what can the prince change if he is like this? What's more, the slave maid took this cup to the prince privately, and our young lady didn't know about it, did the prince want to watch Yingxiang be punished? Anyway, the emperor's birthday is approaching, and when the time comes, our young lady will definitely enter the palace to congratulate the emperor on his birthday, is the prince still afraid that there will be no chance to meet in the future? ”
Yu Chi Jingyao thought that he must have been carried away by joy, otherwise he would not even be able to think clearly about a girl, he was still secretly entangled.
At this moment, De Zhengye stopped in front of the princess's mansion in the carriage in the palace, and when he saw Yu Chi Jingyao, his whole heart had to be put down, and he said sharply: "The holy prince is here, so the old slave is easy to find!" The emperor has a decree to declare that the holy prince will enter the palace to face the saint! ”
Hearing De Zhengye's words, Yu Chi Jingyao nodded towards Yingxiang, handed over the gift box in his hand to Zimo, his eyes were full of solemnity, and then he no longer hesitated to follow De Zhengye in the carriage and leave.
In the imperial study, Emperor Nanqin leisurely leaned on the soft couch on the side and closed his eyes to recuperate, seemingly with a gentle face, but he was constantly thinking in his mind.
"The Holy Lord has arrived!"
It wasn't until De Zhengye's shrill voice sounded outside the door that Emperor Nan Qin opened his eyes violently and watched his favorite son walk in from outside the door.
"The son of the emperor greets his father!"
Walking into the imperial study, Yu Chi Jingyao bowed and saluted to Emperor Nanqin.
"Okay, there are no outsiders, come and sit!"
In this regard, Emperor Nanqin didn't care much, waved his hand at Yu Chi Jingyao, and said in a deep voice.
"Thank you, Father!"
Having said that, but the etiquette that should be there, Yu Chi Jingyao still would not be negligent, replied slowly, and walked towards the other side of the soft couch to sit down.
"In a few days, the envoys of various countries will arrive in Kyoto, and I heard that the prince has entrusted you with the task of receiving the envoys, and this idea of the prince coincides with mine. This year is different from previous years, in the past, the envoys and ministers of various countries came here, this year Beihai Kingdom visited the prince-Beicheng'an, and the Dongyue Kingdom was the prince Dong Yuwen and the princess Dong Zixuan, as for the Xilin Kingdom, the prince Xi Wenyao personally led the team.
They don't say it, I know it very well, they are all here to see how long this big bone of mine can last. The more this time, the more you must not be negligent, and I really can't rest assured that this matter will be handed over to others. The Southern Qin Emperor must not be the second Wuzhou Kingdom, so the task of receiving these kings in the future can only be entrusted to you. ”
Sure enough, it was the king, and he analyzed the situation in front of him thoroughly in a few words.
Hearing the meaning of Emperor Nanqin's words, Wei Chi Jingyao nodded and replied solemnly: "Please rest assured that my son will live up to his mission!" ”
After receiving a satisfactory reply from Yu Chi Jingyao, Emperor Nan Qin glanced at him lightly and pretended to speak casually: "How have you and Wanruo been doing recently?" Don't look at that girl who seems to have a weak temperament, but she has a strong temper, which is exactly the same as Xihe! ”
At the mention of Ye Wanruo, even Yu Chi Jingyao's warm face flashed a few helpless smiles.
Although it was fleeting in a blink of an eye, he was seen by Emperor Nanqin, and said in a deep voice again: "I heard that Dong Zixuan of Dongyue Kingdom is a rare beauty, not only has a bold and enthusiastic temperament, but is also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. The second purpose of Dong Yuwen bringing Dong Zixuan to the Southern Qin Emperor this time is also to hope that the two countries will marry and cultivate a hundred years of good, what do you think of this Jingyao? ”
"Since ancient times, it is not uncommon for the two countries to marry, and if they can stabilize the people's hearts in this way, it will not be a good thing. It's just that the adult royal brothers have a family background, and those who have no family background have been traveling abroad for many years, and they can't be lazy about the princess of the Dongyue Kingdom, I don't know if my father has a candidate in his heart? ”
Yu Chi Jingyao pondered for a moment and replied in a deep voice.
For some reason, Yu Chi Jingyao always felt that at this time, it was no accident that his father mentioned Dong Zixuan.
"It's not busy, this matter needs to be further considered! Five days later, I specially prepared a welcome ceremony for the princes and princesses of other countries, which was held in the palace on the outskirts of the city. In addition, call Wanruo girl, go and have a fun time together, it's also good for them girls to say something considerate together! ”
"Yes, Father!"
Yu Chi Jingyao bowed slightly, not noticing the cunning and shrewdness that flashed in the eyes of Emperor Nanqin.
※※※
On this day, when Yu Chisheng returned from the court, he just walked into the study, and saw a man in a black satin jade brocade robe sitting on the side seat, the man's smooth and white face, revealing an angular cold hand; dark and deep eyes, glowing with a charming color; The high bridge of the nose, the beautiful lips, and the evil smile at the corners of the mouth make it impossible to ignore the majesty and coldness that emanates from itself.
Obviously he is a man, but he looks more enchanting than a woman, if it weren't for the black satin jade brocade robe that made the man reveal a little mysterious aura, even Wei Chisheng would have to wonder if it was a man or a woman in front of him?
Thinking that when he just came back, the housekeeper Wu Huai didn't mention that there were guests in the study, not to mention that the study was an important place, without Wei Chisheng's permission, how could Wu Huai dare to bring strangers directly into the study?
Not to mention the prince's mansion, even near this study, there are many hidden masters. The mysterious man in front of him was able to avoid the eyes and ears of everyone, and came to the study as if nothing happened, even Wei Chisheng had to be vigilant.
So what kind of hidden skills does the uninvited man in front of him have and the real intention of coming here? Realizing the crisis, Wei Chisheng's eyes also turned cold.
After thinking for a while, Yu Chisheng finally closed the door of the study, his eyes were not shocked, he walked to the main seat and sat down, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I don't know who the son is?" ”
"Of course, the people who are here to help you achieve great things!"
The man in black said without hesitation, his penetrating eyes seemed to be able to see Wei Chisheng's inner thoughts.
Such a straightforward statement made Wei Chisheng's eyes suddenly show a trace of murderous intent, but it was well hidden in the bottom of his eyes, and he pretended to be stupid again: "Childe's words are incomprehensible to Prince Ben!" ”
Before Wei Chi Sheng finished speaking, the man in black had already taken the lead in interrupting his words, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, after you finish what you are going to say, you will leave."
Now the emperor's dragon body is getting worse and worse every day, the court situation is turbulent, and all forces are secretly colluding with each other, and they all want to take this opportunity to get a piece of the pie. The other four countries entered Beijing at this time in the name of congratulating their birthdays, and they wanted to take this opportunity to spy on the reality of the emperor's physical condition and make plans again.
Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was smart, he took the initiative to hand over the task of receiving foreign envoys to the five princes, wanting to avoid suspicion. But if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to rely on the support of any party to get the throne, it is very likely that he will end up with one, and stealing chickens will not be the end of the rice, after all, people will not be destroyed by heaven and earth. If you are not a citizen of the Southern Qin Kingdom, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not harbor a ghost and harbor evil intentions. Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think what he said is correct? ”
Yes, Wei Chisheng wanted to use the power of one of these countries to support him to become the new generation leader of the Southern Qin State.
For this reason, he also deliberately handed over the relevant reception matters to Wei Chi Jingyao, just to deliberately put on his high posture, so as not to attract the attention of Emperor Southern Qin.
At this time, when he heard the man in black penetrate his mind in a few words, Wei Chisheng suddenly had a bad premonition and asked coldly, "Who are you?" What exactly do you want to do? ”
"Why does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince need to be so nervous? I just said that I am here to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince achieve great things, and it is better to trust others, it is better to hold the shackles of fate tightly in your own hands, so that you can have a sense of security, right?
In Xia Lishu, the palace master of the Floating Spirit Palace, the purpose of coming here is very simple, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is willing, he is willing to obey the dispatch of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with all the forces of the Floating Spirit Palace, until he helps His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascend the throne.
Fuling Palace was born in the Southern Qin Kingdom, and since it hopes that the Southern Qin Kingdom will be prosperous, it will not have disagreements with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince because of this, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can be sent with confidence, what does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think? ”
Although the rampant smile on the corner of Lishu's mouth looked annoying, Wei Chisheng had to admit that what Lishu said was very reasonable.
If you want to become strong, you must have your own independent and controllable forces, although this is the yearning in Wei Chisheng's heart, but he also knows that there is no free lunch in the world, and this good thing delivered to the door must be especially careful.
After thinking for a moment, Yu Chisheng reined in the killing intent in his eyes, his eyes shot at Lishu with a slight sharp light, and asked in a cold voice: "Help this prince achieve a great cause?" Well said! How can you convince Prince Ben that you have no other thoughts? Moreover, the Floating Spirit Palace is originally a retrograde existence in the imperial court, if you do this, you are not afraid that the prince will arrest you on the spot and go to see your father? ”
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't forget, the Fuling Palace was loyal to the royal family from the beginning, and because he was proficient in the art of Qimen Dunjia, he also won the emperor's respect.
If it weren't for the fact that the palace master was framed by design, and the emperor was angry and killed the Fuling Palace, wanting to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, maybe by now, the royal family and the Fuling Palace could still complement each other.
Moreover, this time is different from the past, it is precisely because of the unjust cases of the year that the growth of the Fuling Palace is now possible, and it can be used by His Royal Highness the Prince, isn't it? But if you want to talk about other thoughts, there is really one thing to ask His Royal Highness the Prince, for His Royal Highness the Prince, it is just a gesture, but it is difficult for His Royal Highness to ascend to the sky, it depends on how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince chooses! ”
Hearing Lishu's request, it made Wei Chisheng's heart floating in the air a little more stable, he was not afraid of the other party's request, he was afraid that the other party had nothing to ask for, that was what made him tremble.
