Chapter Seventy-Two: The Outcome of the Game
He is the emperor first and the father second. And after being the emperor for a long time, how much is left of this father's heart......
Seeing that King Chen was silent for a long time, Rong Yunxi and Rong Qing didn't know what to say. After all, this is a royal matter, and it's inappropriate for them, as outsiders, to say anything.
"Huh...... So much better. After being silent for a long time, King Chen said with a smile.
"Yes", Rong Qing also smiled, "It can be seen that Your Majesty loves and protects His Highness in his heart." ”
"Hey...... Otherwise, he was put on a drunken hat by his eldest brother, and he couldn't hang it on his face. ”
King Chen smiled easily, but Rong Yunxi didn't think that he really thought so in his heart.
After getting along with King Chen these days, she can feel King Chen's emotions very clearly. When is true joy and when is fake smile, she doesn't need to think about it, just look at him, in most cases, she can have a difference in her heart.
Rong Yunxi didn't know why.
Obviously, they haven't been together for a long time, and it's clear that this person is not so easy to be seen through......
"Your Highness, master, Doctor Jiang is here." Uncle Zhong said outside the door.
"Let him in." King Chen.
Doctor Jiang entered the house, saluted King Chen, and said, "The matter that His Highness has explained to him has been done in the future." ”
"Oh? Show it to the king. King Chen smiled.
Doctor Jiang handed a recipe to King Chen.
King Chen looked at it for a long time and said, "Doctor Jiang has a heart. Knowing that this drunken fairy grass is not easy to find, he also wrote these alternative things for this king. ”
"It's just that these substitutes are not as effective as Drunken Immortal Grass in the end. The medicinal effect of Drunken Dream is five hours, but if you change these, it will only be two or three hours of medicinal effect, but it is no different from ordinary **. ”
"yes, it's not interesting to make it with these things." King Chen.
smiled again: "This matter is annoying to Dr. Jiang, and when I go back, this king will ask your master to reward you for this king." ”
His Highness smiled. He is the family doctor of the General's Mansion, and it is his duty to do these little things for His Royal Highness. Dr. Jiang said.
After Dr. Jiang retreated, Rong Yunxi and King Chen chatted with their father for a while, and after lunch at home, they went back to the palace.
On the carriage, Rong Yunxi glanced at King Chen, who closed his eyes and recuperated, and said lightly: "Actually, in your Highness's heart, I hope that Your Majesty can give the prince a chance to speak, right?" ”
King Chen opened his eyes slightly, just squinted at her, and smiled slightly: "I can't escape your eyes." ”
Rong Yunxi smiled.
King Chen straightened up, his eyes were all open, looked at Rong Yunxi, and said, "Yunxi, you say...... But would we be mistaken? Did you blame your father? ”
"Maybe......" Rong Yunxi looked at him and smiled meaningfully.
In fact, King Chen himself had the answer in his heart, and he knew that he expected it well.
"Why doesn't Your Highness think that the reason why my father didn't look at the prince's reaction was not because he didn't care about the truth of this matter, but because he trusted His Highness?" Rong Yunxi asked.
King Chen shook his head and smiled, a little helpless: "You, you know the answer, but you have to say it yourself." ”
Rong Yunxi smiled silently.
"My father himself also ascended to the throne after a fight, how can he not know the conspiracies and calculations between the princes? At Royal, there is no real trust at all. No matter how much my father likes me, he can't have complete trust in me. What my father didn't believe was that I wouldn't drink and behave, but that he couldn't tell whether I was setting up a trap for my eldest brother, or if my eldest brother was setting a trap for me, or that the two of us were setting up a game for each other. ”
"When you can't tell the difference, the best thing to do is to push the boat with the current. Anyway, whether I enter the eldest brother's bureau or the eldest brother enters my bureau, in terms of the stability of the imperial power, it will be beneficial and harmless. ”
Rong Yunxi asked with a smile: "Then His Royal Highness and the Prince, who is in whose game?" ”
"At the beginning, it was me who entered the big brother's game; And later, it was the eldest brother who entered my game", King Chen spread his hands and said with a smile, "I just pushed the boat down the river, and I fulfilled the eldest brother and myself." ”
Rong Yunxi smiled, her eyes were full of appreciation.
"What is Concubine Ai thinking?" King Chen saw the appreciation in her eyes and asked with a smile.
Rong Yunxi didn't hide it, and said calmly: "You are so smart." ”
"Of course......" King Chen approached Rong Yunxi, pinched her chin with two fingers, and said with a smile, "Otherwise, how can you be qualified to compete with Concubine Ai?" Well? ”
Rong Yunxi looked away slightly: "The concubine has never thought of competing with His Royal Highness. The concubine just wants to live in the palace safely, do her duty, and help His Royal Highness take care of the back house. ”
"That's not good...... King Chen said with a smile, "I only hit the back house, but I succumbed to the talent of the concubine." ”
"So...... Your Highness thinks that the talent of the concubine body should be used? Rong Yunxi also looked at King Chen with deep meaning.
"Towering palace city, glory Weiyang ......" King Chen closed his eyes and read this sentence, sighed lightly, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at Rong Yunxi, "Ai Fei, the storm has risen, are you willing to join hands with this king?" ”
Rong Yunxi also looked at King Chen, and said calmly: "This has nothing to do with whether you want to or not, but the identity is here, and the concubine is Princess Chen, so naturally there is no other choice." ”
King Chen shook his head: "That's different...... It's too hard to get you to say yes or no. ”
Whether you want to or not is a matter of the heart; Whether there is a choice or not is a matter of the world, how can the two be compared?
And the strange thing is, when did he start caring so much about her heart?
Back in the palace, Rong Yunxi is about to fulfill his promise to King Chen - to help him copy books.
She copied books in the study and toiled hard. But this person didn't say that he was grinding and pouring tea on the side, and serving with gratitude, but he called Edelweiss to come in, and lay on the table in the square hall to play with the dog, which made her upset.
"No more copying!"
When King Chen didn't know how many times he teased the edelweiss, Rong Yunxi finally couldn't bear it anymore and picked on it.
"Aifei......" King Chen came to his senses a little, came to her, and said with concern: "Aifei, do you want tea?" Is it hot? But hungry? ”
That's right, that's what it looks like to ask someone to do something......
With his attitude, Rong Yunxi thought that he was not a master who liked to embarrass people, so he picked up the pen again and continued to patiently copy books for him.
King Chen realized what Rong Yunxi meant, but he was also considerate, and personally poured her a cup of tea and put it in her hand.
Rong Yunxi glanced at it, unceremoniously picked it up and drank it all, and said casually: "Thank you, Your Highness." ”
Apparently perfunctory.
But seeing that she looked up and drank tea so beautifully, King Chen was cheap, and poured her another cup. This time, it was handed directly to her with courtesy.
Rong Yunxi blinked in surprise, but people have already sent things to you, and it's not good not to appreciate it. So he took it again and drank it all. Still said casually: "Thank you, Your Highness." ”
But......
What's going on? As soon as she wrote two words, another cup of tea was handed to her.
"No...... No need, Your Highness, thank Your Highness for your kindness, the concubine is no longer thirsty. Rong Yunxi smiled and pushed away the teacup.
"It's okay, it's better to take precautions, and Concubine Ai has another drink." King Chen.
Rong Yunxi looked at him, blinked, took it in a daze, raised his head and drank it all...... He handed the teacup back to him in a daze, and asked, "Is it okay, Your Highness?" ”
"The way the concubine looks up and drinks tea is so good-looking." King Chen smiled stupidly.
Looking at his stupid face, Rong Yunxi stood up the book and blocked his sight: "Your Highness, the task is heavy, and I hope Your Highness will not disturb the concubine." ”
"It's good to say, it's good to say......" King Chen said, swaggering away.
Rong Yunxi put down the book and breathed a sigh of relief. I can't help but blame myself secretly in my heart, she is really crazy, why provoke him if she has nothing to do?
After copying books for King Chen for three days in a row, his arms were sore and his eyes were tired. But how can the matter of being entrusted with loyalty by others be given up halfway? Ay......
"Your Highness...... Someone from the palace has sent a message......"
On the afternoon of the third day, I suddenly heard Zhuo Jiu hurriedly come to report.
Rong Yunxi put down the pen in his hand, went to the bedroom, and went to call King Chen, who had not woken up after taking a nap for an hour.
"Your Highness, someone from the palace has passed the decree." Rong Yunxi nudged him gently.
King Chen's eyes moved, then he opened his eyes, got up, and said, "So fast? It's only been the third day......"
Seeing this, Rong Yunxi knew that he had long expected that there would be a holy decree.
Because it is to receive the holy decree, the concubines who have positions in the house also have to go out and kneel to receive them. It is estimated that the little maids in the house have already gone to the courtyard of the five beauties to spread the word, and when King Chen and Rong Yunxi came out of the Zhaode Courtyard, they saw five women accompanied by five little maids, hurrying to this side.
Seeing the women coming together, he greeted them from afar: "The concubine greets His Royal Highness, and the ...... Niangniang"
Ambilight, dazzlingly kneeling on the ground.
King Chen shook his head and said, "What a headache." ”
Rong Yunxi smiled and let them get up, and said, "No need to be polite."
Turning around and following behind King Chen, he said with a smile: "The concubine still thinks that His Royal Highness likes this kind of formation!" ”
"Concubine Ai made fun of this king again......" King Chen laughed.
Several beauties deliberately took a few quick steps, following three steps behind Rong Yunxi and King Chen.
When he arrived at the marble clearing at the gate of the palace, he knelt down, and heard the emperor's side Li Gonggong proclaim: "The rectification of the Sanhuai River is a big matter, and I am afraid that the prince alone will not be able to do it." Specially given the post of assistant superintendent of King Chen, he went to Huai'an Mansion and assisted the prince. This is a long way to go, and it will take a lot of time, and King Chen is newly married, so he is allowed to bring the princess with him. After receiving the order, King Wangchen made a little preparation and set off on a certain day...... Chin this ......"
"Son's Decree Thanksgiving ......"
"Daughter-in-law Receives Thanksgiving ......"
King Chen and Rong Yunxi received the order and thanked them.
King Chen took the order and got up and asked, "Father-in-law, I don't know when the eldest brother will leave?" ”
