Chapter 16: Finding Opportunities
The weather is cold, and Liu Jin's heart is even colder.
He couldn't figure out if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince intended to target him.
If so, that's not all.
But His Royal Highness will never think of it the moment Wang Wei finishes speaking, and he will do it immediately. It must have been pondered earlier, and it happened to be looking for Wang Wei to sue Li Guang for trouble.
This is very scary, Liu Jin thought about it carefully, he hasn't done anything special since he came here?
I felt that it was really unreasonable, so I was lucky again, what if His Highness didn't mean that?
After all, His Royal Highness is only seven or eight years old, how can a child come up with this terrible calculation? Even if you are an adult, this is the method that only the most thoughtful lord will use.
Liu Jin raised his eyes and looked at the prince again, and found that the child's face was as usual, and tasted the taste of the fish with great interest, and then said, "Well, it's delicious." ”
Goo-dong.
Liu Jin swallowed a mouthful of saliva, closed his mouth and stood aside.
It was nearly evening, and His Highness should go to bed early.
Liu Jin sneaked to find Qiuyun again,
Although a girl's family is not a two-rank jinshi, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince remembers her, then she can't be like Zhang Tianrui who is idle and has nothing to do, and knead and bully at will.
So Liu Jin said kind words, "Miss Qiuyun, you have worked hard today." ”
Qiu Yun replied with a lily: "Gong Liu's words are serious. Qiu Yun got the grace of His Royal Highness to save him, and he was lucky enough to pick up a life, these hardships should have been. ”
"Hmm...... Miss Qiuyun, today's highness ......"
"What's wrong with Your Highness?"
"Did Your Highness tell you? It was when I went to serve food. ”
Qiu Yun's eyebrows flashed, and his sensitivity came up all of a sudden.
What does Liu Jin mean by asking?
In her understanding, the relationship between the prince and Liu Jin is not ordinary, after all, she grew up with the prince since childhood.
How can you ask her what the prince has said?
Liu Jin is also a character who is very good at observing words and feelings, a little girl, and the thoughts in her heart are naturally written on her face.
"Girl, don't think too much, you and I are trusted by His Highness's side, and I always think of His Highness's goodness in my heart."
"Your Highness only said that you want to eat fish." Qiuyun thought about it and said, it won't work if you don't say anything, Liu Jin can't be easily offended.
His relationship with the crown prince is really not ordinary, and his status in the East Palace is also very important.
"What about the rest......"
"Your Highness is still young and hungry, so naturally he keeps talking about eating, but the rest of the people don't tell me, the slave who serves tea."
In this way, it is difficult for Liu Jin to say anything.
It was a sleepless night for him.
Because he couldn't figure out the prince's attitude towards him,
This is actually the most sensitive and dangerous.
In addition, it is necessary to consider Li Guang's side......
The morning in the East Palace was still as usual, but the rain had stopped, and there was still some stagnant water and broken leaves on the ground, which had already been cleaned up by the attendants.
Zhu Houzhao stretched his waist in the morning sun and made a few movements to stretch his body.
Liu Jin's expression was a little sluggish, and his face was somewhat tired. Staying up late, not to mention that he is a middle-aged man, he can't do it, and the 30-year-old social animal has to recover for several days overnight.
"Your Highness, do you need to pass breakfast?"
"Well, pass it on." Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing, "What's wrong with you?" Scared by thunder last night? ”
Qiu Yun on the side was holding back a secret smile.
Liu Jin thought about it all night and didn't come up with a clue, the prince spoke to him so well, he was even more uncomfortable: Your Highness, are you that mind! I'm still joking around with the old slave!
"Back to Your Highness, the slave maid just hasn't rested well, and there is no big problem."
"Oh, okay." Zhu Houzhao naturally knew it, "In this way, let Zhang Yong come over to serve today, it just so happens that I also want to learn archery from him." ”
Among the eunuchs, Zhang Yong is skilled in bows and horses, and he is quite brave.
Where would Liu Jin give up this kind of opportunity, he naturally wanted to accompany him.
So the nobility of a plain feudal society began again in the morning, and a group of people gathered around a small child, waiting for him to dress and eat.
Others prepared bows and arrows and targets for children according to his orders.
After that, Zhu Houzhao moved to a pavilion outside the hall.
The eunuchs were still busy, so he sat in the pavilion and waited, and when he was thirsty for autumn clouds, he served tea, and when he was hungry for winter rain, he would also take snacks.
In addition to eunuchs, palace maids, and petty officials like Yang Tinghe will also follow and make records.
This was the first time His Highness was interested in archery.
People who grow up will regret that they did not learn or insisted on learning a particular skill when they were young.
Zhu Houzhao is the same, although he is not a fanatical combatant, he never wants to be just a weak man who studies, how to say that he must be majestic when he rides a horse and opens his bow and arrows.
I'm still young at the moment, and it's just right to learn.
"Your Highness, please hold a bow and arrow."
Zhang Yong presented a treasure bow and came up, and saw Zhu Houzhao's eyes eagerly.
He also wants to try what is called juvenile madness: left lead yellow, right Qingcang, brocade hat mink Qiu, thousand horses roll Pinggang!
According to Zhang Yong's teaching, Zhu Houzhao turned sideways and opened his bow, his eyes were aiming, and he was quite cute.
A few arrows swished out, most of which missed.
Liu Jin and Zhang Yong glanced at each other, both feeling embarrassed, but they didn't dare to say anything.
Zhu Houzhao is not in a hurry, anyway, just at the beginning, practice slowly.
Further into the distance, there are several pavilions, which are connected to each other and extend above the surface of the pond.
Yang Tinghe was over there, always not far away.
At first, it was nothing, but when I opened my bow and arrows again, my eyes turned to that side, and I suddenly felt that something seemed wrong?
His brow furrowed slightly.
Liu Jin is a person who is very good at reading faces, "Your Highness, but you feel tired?" ”
Zhu Houzhao put down the bow and looked at Yang Tinghe's position suspiciously, it was indeed different from before.
But I can't remember it, and I feel strange in my heart.
When he raised the bow again, his mind was still uncertain.
That's right!
"What about Zhang Tianrui?"
Liu Jin's hearts sank, broken!
How could His Highness remember a six-rank petty official he didn't like?
……
……
Outside the palace.
Wang Wei bumped into Xie Ge Lao again.
"What did Your Highness say?"
Wang Wei frowned puzzled, "Just say...... Got it. ”
"Huh......" Xie Ge Lao couldn't figure it out, "You just know?" What does that mean? ”
Wang Wei guessed: "Or as Yu Qiao said, there are really wise people behind the prince." And the prince only said that he knew, probably because he hadn't discussed it yet? ”
"Perhaps. Li Guang is in great trouble, and he has won the trust of His Majesty, how easy is it to bring him down? Donggong has changed its usual behavior recently, and I thought that if there was someone behind it, as long as it could help, it would be good. Now it seems that we can only wait, no matter what, we must find an opportunity to eradicate Li Guang! ”
"I see Yang Tinghe and his Royal Highness have a very close relationship." Wang Wei thought of the scene he saw that day.
"Oh? Is there such a thing? "Xie Qian was a little surprised," Xu Ge asked in person that day, and this Yang Jiefu did not miss a word. Could it be that he is a person with a deep mind? ”
"It's just a guess, I often go to the East Palace, and I may have contact in the future, and then I will observe this person carefully."
Xie Qian pondered for a while, and felt that this was the only way to do it now. As for the heart, he has been silently reciting: Yang Tinghe ......
