Chapter 984: Pushing the Boat Downstream
"Who?"
Lu Hanjiang didn't seem to hear clearly, he plucked out his ears, and then asked, "Old Qian, who did you say sent the post?" β
"Master, it's the Fourth Highness." Lao Qian was holding the greeting post sent by the Four Princes' Mansion in his hand, and he was also puzzled.
It is said that what Jinyiwei did at the beginning was actually quite amazing, but if he changed people, even if he didn't come to the door to scold, he would almost die and not get along, but the four princes actually handed over a letter of worship in place, and even according to the porter, he also prepared a gift, which is very incredible.
Lu Hanjiang couldn't figure out what the other party thought for a while, in his memory, the fourth prince was a simple-minded and very easy to understand guy.
The other party has been silent all these years, and today he suddenly came to visit, is there really something wrong?
Lu Hanjiang couldn't guess the other party's thoughts, but the gifts were all at the door, and it was a pity that he didn't see them, so after thinking for a while, he said to Lao Qian: "Set up tea in the front hall, I'll go to meet this highness." β
"Yes." Old Qian stepped back in response.
Lu Hanjiang thought about it, so he didn't change out of the official uniform on his body, and went to meet the four princes in front of him wearing the flying fish suit of the brocade guard.
The two looked at each other, and the other party was very enthusiastic, with a smile on his face: "Lu Luma, I haven't seen you for a long time, hahaha." β
"It's been a long time, Your Highness, please take a seat." Lu Hanjiang was almost stunned by the other party, but he quickly balanced his mood and invited the other party to sit down with a smile.
While simply greeting each other, Lu Hanjiang was also quietly looking at each other, the contact between the two was very limited, except for those two calculations, he almost never had any intersection with this fourth highness.
At a certain moment, Lu Hanjiang also thought about the possibility of this Fourth Highness pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, but when he saw it today, he immediately dispelled such unrealistic thoughts, the other party was really simple-minded, not pretending.
And between the three words, the purpose of the four princes' trip has been revealed, since the first sentence of the other party stepping into the Lu Mansion, Lu Hanjiang has already guessed the other party's intention.
It can be seen from his name for himself that although the position of the concubine is noble, it is essentially an accessory of the princess, so no one in the court will ever call Lu Hanjiang a concubine on a formal occasion.
Although the brainless title of the fourth prince is easy to offend people, it also makes Lu Hanjiang clearly see the other party's intentions, which is to pull the relationship.
"The little sister is pregnant, and this king, as an elder brother, should naturally express something, and Lu Yuma doesn't have to refuse." With a wave of the four princes' hands, countless gifts were offered.
Lu Hanjiang, who had no intention of refusing, swept away those gifts, and at a casual glance, he saw a night pearl of top color, and the smile on his face immediately became much more sincere.
"Your Highness is really polite." While Lu Hanjiang was polite, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, in terms of financial resources, these four highnesses are afraid that they are the best princes, and this generous move is indeed extraordinary.
Then the two chatted casually, mainly because the four princes began to boast about their brother-sister relationship with Princess Yongle, Lu Hanjiang kept smiling on his face, but he didn't think so in his heart.
If you want to say that the two have a little intersection on weekdays, Lu Hanjiang believes it, after all, they are brother and sister, but if you want to say how good the relationship between the two is, I am afraid it may not be.
Yongle had talked to Lu Hanjiang before that she had few playmates in the palace, and the Sixth and Seventh Highnesses, who were a little closer to her, only had a mediocre relationship with her, let alone the Fourth Highnesses, who were older.
But the fourth prince probably didn't think so, he said a lot, and felt that the other party should have understood his meaning, so he left satisfied.
It's just that before leaving, the fourth prince suddenly remembered what the sixth prince said when he came to his house today, so he quietly pulled Lu Hanjiang to the side and said in a low voice-
"Lu Yuma, listen to the advice of this king, that Wen Kongheng is a small commander of the forbidden army is nothing, it is really impossible to anger his father for him, if you want to clean up, wait until there is an opportunity in the future."
The fourth prince squeezed his eyebrows at Lu Hanjiang as he spoke, he thought that what he said was very vague, but in fact, the four words of this bright daydream were almost written on his face.
"That's what Your Highness said." Lu Hanjiang didn't argue with him about anything, just smiled and said yes, to be honest, he was afraid that if he continued to talk about it, the other party's mouth would pop out of something terrible, and it would be more difficult to end.
In the end, the fourth prince happily returned home, while Lu Hanjiang pondered over the pile of gifts, and Lao Qian quietly did not speak behind him.
After a while, Lu Hanjiang suddenly said, "What our Fourth Highness said seems to have some truth. β
"Sir?" Old Qian said in surprise.
"It just so happens that since Your Majesty has said that that Young Master Wen has to let it go, then let's simply sell His Highness's face, so as to make the water in this capital more muddy."
As he spoke, Lu Hanjiang easily scooped up the night pearl in the gift box and played with it: "Old Qian, send someone to the edict and let Yan Feng release the eldest son of Wen." β
"Yes." After the old money responded, he had to step down.
"Also," Lu Hanjiang stopped the other party and added, "Remember to let them tell Gongzi Wen that because His Royal Highness personally came to intercede, the commander will make an exception to release him." β
Old Qian was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "I understand." β
The movements of the Lu Mansion quickly attracted the attention of outsiders, but recently, more than one prince has given gifts, and the four princes just picked a special time point and made it more eye-catching.
However, the sixth prince, the initiator of all this, didn't have time to care about it for the time being, and after he returned home, he immediately asked people to call his uncle over.
The uncle who was pulled out of the beauty town was very impatient, but when he saw his nephew who was sinking like water, he just pouted and didn't dare to be more presumptuous.
The sixth prince snorted angrily and slammed an account book on the table, and he said angrily: "Uncle! In this month alone, you have spent 1,500 taels of silver from the treasury, do you know how much money this king has spent in a month? β
The uncle's eyes dodged, but he still whispered: "It's just a little silver, the prince is making a big fuss." β
"Humph! A little silver? If it weren't for you, uncle, why would this king be humiliated by the fourth bastard! The sixth prince took the case and said coldly: "From today on, my uncle's monthly expenses will be reviewed by this king, so go down." β
"Thisβ" Uncle's eyes widened, but when he met the fiery eyes of the sixth prince, he immediately wilted, and he resignedly retreated.
The sixth prince sulked to himself, and someone outside came to report, because he was in too much of a hurry, he was a little rude, and he shouted a lesson: "What are you panicking about!" β
The man immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty: "It was the villain who was rude, and he told the prince, and there was a rumor outside, saying that it was - it was said that the Fourth Highness came to persuade Jinyiwei and asked them to release the detained Wen Gongzi"
