Chapter 114: Behind the Prosperity
Lan Ling'er came slowly, with a natural and detached smile on her face. I saw Dongfang Yuming's yellow figure from a distance, and it was no wonder that everyone wanted that position, even if this dress was worn on the body, it was much more conspicuous.
There was already a maid from the Blue Mansion serving tea, and Dongfang Yu sat silently alone, but he was not in a hurry.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so interested!" Lan Ling'er just stepped into the threshold and smiled.
Dongfang Yu's body was slightly stunned, and he smiled self-deprecatingly, "What else is there to be interested in now, and there is nothing to do with me, right?" ”
Lan Ling'er's eyes flashed slightly, Dongfang Yu also had a bit of brains, it was best for him to do nothing now, but in his position, even if you don't do anything, others will take the initiative to find you.
"My brother has something to do, is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here waiting for him to come back or..."
Hearing this, Dongfang Yu put down the tea in his hand, sighed lightly, and said, "I'm here to find you." ”
Lan Ling'er raised her eyebrows, this was the first time she had seen Dongfang Yu so lonely, thinking that this incident had hit him quite hard, but it didn't seem to have anything to do with her Lan Ling'er.
"In the early dynasty today, my father and the emperor brought a few cronies of the emperor's younger brother."
Lan Ling'er chuckled, "I'm sorry, Ling'er is incompetent and can't share His Highness's worries." Your Highness can go to the eldest princess. ”
But seeing that Dongfang Yu's body was shocking, he stared at Lan Ling'er tightly, his eyes were burning, and said: "Sister Lan, why should she be modest, if it weren't for the means to make Mu Shizi follow, Prince Luo Yan would be favored, even Prime Minister Xuan would be willing to go to the soup for you." ”
Lan Ling'er's face was slightly cold, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a sneer, with the ice blue dress at this time, she looked more and more quiet and cold, and couldn't help but feel a little withdrawn.
It's just that I don't know if this incident had too much impact on Dongfang Yu, causing him to forget his composure or because he was originally such a character, and now he can't hold his breath, I really don't know how a shrewd person like the eldest princess chose him as his son-in-law.
"Lan Xuan is my elder brother, as for Mu Shizi and Luo Yan Gongzi, I think if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is curious, he can ask them himself."
Seeing that Dongfang Yu's face was angry for a moment, Lan Ling'er didn't take it to heart.
In just a moment, I saw that the anger on Dongfang Yu's face disappeared, and he turned helpless, and said quietly: "I have been in the position of the prince for so many years, and I have been conscientious, and I even dreamed that I might fall from it." Since I was a child, my aunt taught me that if I am not careful, I will be crushed. If I could, I'd rather not be in this position, as long as I was healthy for the rest of my life. ”
Lan Ling'er narrowed her eyes, thinking to herself what Dongfang Yu is talking to herself about now? The aunt in his mouth should be the eldest princess.
"I don't know how long I can do it, when I was a child, I tried to treat people sincerely countless times, but in the end, the facts proved me wrong, they all approached me because I was the crown prince, either for my power, or for which concubine or prince planted a spy."
Dongfang Yu seemed to have forgotten that he was still in the Blue Mansion, and he was just pouring out his sorrows. Lan Ling'er was helpless, so she had to listen carefully.
"I never dared to ask my father to look at me more, every time I met, I was apprehensive, because I knew that his casual words might ruin the things that I had worked so hard to manage for so many years, but every time I was careful, it didn't get my father to look at me more."
As he spoke, Dongfang Yu glanced at Lan Ling'er and pulled out a self-deprecating smile. Perhaps because he has been in the position of the crown prince all the year round, he seems to have a little more depressing aura than Dongfang Yi and Dongfang Qi.
"When I was a child, I was very envious that you had a father who loved you like life, and when I heard about Prime Minister Lan Cheng's departure, I thought about how strong you should be to survive this, and when you drew your sword against the second emperor's brother, I was worried about him, and I was also worried about you."
A hint of admiration flashed in Dongfang Yu's eyes, Lan Ling'er didn't interrupt his conversation, maybe it was even pity for this prince who had never gained family affection.
"This time, when my father gave the third emperor's younger brother a jade pendant in the hunting ground, I admitted that I had a red eye, but I was more relieved, if the things that have been pressing me for so many years are unloaded at once, it will be good. It's just that my aunt doesn't allow it. ”
I didn't expect that there was still the will of the eldest princess here, I heard that the eldest princess had a good relationship with the deceased Concubine De, and she should have taken care of Dongfang Yu when she was a child.
It's just that such power oppression is given to a child, no wonder it is so oppressive.
"I had a big fight with my aunt, and I wanted to step down as the crown prince, even if it was dead."
Lan Ling'er was shocked, she didn't expect Dongfang Yu to have such a strong mind.
saw Dongfang Yu close his eyes, with a hint of disgust on his face, "However, within two days, when I realized that the people around me were gradually moving away from me and looking at me with different eyes, I suddenly found that I couldn't stand being ignored at all." Even if it's to be a wicked person for the ages, I don't want to be obscure. ”
Suddenly, opening his eyes, Dongfang Yu looked at Lan Ling'er with a smile and said, "Sister Lan, will you think that I am just a superficial and vulgar person, and I can't give up at all." ”
Lan Ling'er finally understood that it was not that he didn't go to the eldest princess, but that the eldest princess and him should be in an awkward period now, and he couldn't pull his face to find it.
"Why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince telling me this?"
Dongfang Yu has been in a high position since he was born, and the people around him have different purposes except flattery, he has long been accustomed to this kind of life, and it is absolutely impossible for him to withdraw this kind of life now. At the same time, he wanted to escape from such bondage, such caution.
It's just that as long as the emperor is still in the day, he can't be completely liberated.
Drinking all the tea in the cup, Dongfang Yu smiled meaninglessly, all his emotions converged, as if he had returned to his original appearance, "Because you hate the Amaterasu Imperial Family, you don't care about these things, so it's impossible to tell others what I think." ”
Lan Ling'er paused slightly, the smile on her face became brighter and brighter, but without the slightest warmth, "Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wronged people like this?" Where does my hatred for royalty come from? What's more, what good is it for Your Highness that I hate the royal family? ”
"Huh!" Dongfang Yu couldn't help laughing, and the momentum of being the crown prince for many years was released, naturally with a hint of domineering, and said: "Because of the importance you attach to Lan Yuan, because Lan Yuan regards you as a life's love." Others may not know, but I have observed the relationship between you since I was a child, and it is naturally clear. ”
Lan Ling'er's heart moved, but her face was silent, "But you don't want His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to have such a hobby?" ”
The sarcasm in his tone made Dongfang Yu slightly stunned, but he was not annoyed, sighed lightly, and said: "I'm just envious, because I can't get it, so I pay attention to others everywhere." ”
The lonely Lan Ling'er in her eyes could see it clearly, but it was so unreal.
Maybe it was Dongfang Yu's desire for father's love, or maybe it was other reasons, Lan Ling'er suddenly gave birth to a kind of pity, any glamorous and beautiful, there will be endless pain to bear by herself.
Dongfang Yu's noble identity, but he has to admit that there is a father's love in it that he will never get. The emperor gave him the position of crown prince, but he may not give him the throne, give him life, but he may not give him love, give him all the aura, but at the same time give him danger and calculation.
"Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here today to talk to Ling'er about this?" Lan Ling'er's intuition told her that Dongfang Yu wanted to say more than that.
"Huh!" Dongfang Yu chuckled again, "Sister Lan is really smart. ”
Lan Ling'er just looked at him with a smile, waiting for the words to follow.
"Don't worry, I don't feel much about your hatred for the royal family, maybe, if I can, even if Asun dies one day, I won't feel too much, but since my father gave me this position, the throne must also be mine."
Lan Ling'er raised her eyebrows, Dongfang Yu's thoughts were unexpected by her, but they were also reasonable, maybe even he didn't know what kind of thoughts he had for the royal family now.
Years of career as a crown prince have already numbed Dongfang Yu, everything he does is for the throne in the future, and it is to become a better emperor.
The emperor may be trying to protect the true heir from harm, but he doesn't want to ruin his son's life, Dongfang Yu may not know the emperor's true intentions, but he is not reconciled.
"So what?"
Dongfang Yu moved his lips, and finally said loudly: "Now my aunt doesn't pay attention to me anymore, if I go to her like this, I will only be looked down upon by her, I know that she doesn't really help me, she just wants Yan Qin to be the queen, and then better control me." ”
Lan Ling'er couldn't deny what she said, the reason why an ambitious person like the eldest princess no longer marries is probably because she can't bear the power behind it.
For Dongfang Yu, it is not so much a tutoring as it is to make him more obedient, but Dongfang Yu is not a waste at the mercy of others, and he also has his own ideas, so he fell out, and the eldest princess may have to choose the camp again.
It's just that whether it is Dongfang Qi or Dongfang Yi, it is not beneficial to her. So, the eldest princess, maybe it's just a temptation.
Thinking about it, Lan Ling'er chuckled and said, "Why should His Royal Highness the Crown Prince worry too much, it is impossible for the eldest princess to find someone else now." She's just trying to make you relent. ”
Dongfang Yu frowned, "I know, but I don't want to give all my freedom in the future to others." ”
Hearing this, Lan Ling'er showed a hint of appreciation in her eyes, smiled, and said, "There is another way." ”
Seeing that Dongfang Yu was interested, the corners of Lan Ling'er's mouth hooked a sneer, "I think the prince understands the story of Dongfang Yi and Mu Yuyan last time, no matter how shrewd the eldest princess is, she only has a daughter from the county lord of Qiluo, after this incident, maybe the emperor will be angry, but he has also obtained the absolute assistance of the eldest princess." ”
Dongfang Yu pondered for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Lan Ling'er suspiciously, wanting to find something on her face, but he couldn't see the slightest emotion.
Lan Ling'er knew what he was thinking, so she couldn't help but get up and walk out, and a clear voice came into Dongfang Yu's ears.
