Chapter 163: Can't Be Contaminated
"What Mrs. Song said is reasonable. But the intention in this has to be guarded against, so it's better to be careful." Ji Changye also had to agree to let Song Qian go together, otherwise he would never let Ji Qirui see Song Qian, and he would have a chance.
Seeing that it was almost agreed, Song Qian turned around and prepared to leave.
Ji Changye suddenly stopped her steps for some reason, "Song Niangzi, please stay."
Song Qian turned around and looked at each other inexplicably, and asked puzzledly, "Is there anything else?" Lord Wang."
"At that time, both you and I will go to the appointment, and in order to prevent impropriety, Changfeng will follow. But I remember that Yuan Bao said that he would not go to the academy to study tomorrow, and Ah Jin had something to do and wanted to go back to the imperial capital, what should Yuan Bao do?" They definitely didn't feel at ease to leave the ingots alone at home, only to be watched by a few secret guards.
"If the prince doesn't say it, I haven't considered this matter, then I'll ask Wang Niangzi if she has time to take care of the ingots." Song Qian frowned slightly, came up with an idea, and then turned around without saying a word.
Ji Changye agreed to this approach, and originally settled down, but he couldn't think of an hour, and Song Qian brought bad news.
"Wang Niangzi said that at that time, the family wanted to go back to the village in the neighboring town to visit her mother's family, and I was afraid that she would not be able to bring ingots. Lord, what should I do?" Song Qian couldn't help but have a headache, and in a hurry, she even had the idea of not wanting to go to the appointment, because she couldn't leave the ingots no matter what.
This question stumped Ji Changye for a while, and after a while, he came up with an idea, but he didn't dare to finalize it, so he spoke out and asked Song Qian's opinion: "Otherwise, let Yuanbao go with us, Yuanbao is well-behaved and doesn't cry or make trouble, it can't get in the way, and you can rest assured that you can take care of it."
After hearing this, Song Qian weighed it carefully, and felt that there was no way to do it, so he agreed: "Then follow the arrangement of the prince." It's just that she was a little worried that Yuan Bao would follow her, whether she would encounter anything, and how to explain to him at that time, after all, she tried her best to hide it and prevent Yuan Bao from going to this mess of sewage.
There is no way, and I can only take one step at a time.
Since it has been decided, Ji Changye wrote back to Ji Qirui, and the other party was very surprised to see that Ji Changye came indifferently.
"This prince really doesn't understand what he's thinking more and more now, for that village girl to be able to do this, it's really a shame for the Ji family, no wonder he can only huddle in this town and be at the mercy of others." Ji Qirui said disdainfully, and then ordered people to arrange the front hall tightly behind the hall, so as to welcome Ji Changye and them tomorrow.
Rong was afraid that Ji Qirui's temperament would say the wrong thing and mess things up, so he carefully instructed, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, it is estimated that you will inevitably have a quarrel when you chatter during the meal. You have to be calm then, and it won't be useful to talk too much, and don't let the Lord Regent or anyone else get hold of it." He didn't understand why Ji Qirui wanted Ji Changye to let them know that Xu Wenyan had come to his side, could this be the emperor's family, and he was thoughtful?
The only thing that makes him happy is that He Yujin is not allowed to go to the appointment, otherwise, according to He Yujin's temperament, he and Ji Qirui will definitely fight, and then the scene will be out of control and all the previous efforts will be lost.
But Ji Qirui didn't think about it so much, "Is this prince still afraid that this will not happen? According to their current status, even if Prince Ben humiliates them, they will be grateful to Prince Ben, how can they be afraid of a dispute because of a small quarrel. You're just too careful to let those inferior villains get their will."
Rong knew that Ji Qirui would say this, and he didn't explain again, planning to let him go, and then take action to save him at the critical moment.
It's really uncomfortable.
At the appointed time, Ji Changye and Song Qian arrived with ingots and Changfeng as promised, and came to the outside of Ji Qirui's house by carriage.
Looking at the luxurious and brilliant plaque, Ji Changye couldn't help but frown.
I thought that the cost of this plaque was definitely not cheap, but the DPRK advocated diligence and thrift, so extravagant and wasteful, he, the prince, did really high-profile.
Song Qian also felt that this plaque was exaggerated, and she was even more surprised when she didn't want to come to the courtyard, where there were shelves made of high-quality wood, and there were valuable antiques, just looking at it was breathtaking.
Among them, there are even more people.
Does this prince have so many subordinates to serve alone? She couldn't help but wonder.
It seems that this status is different.
"It turned out that the prince and Mrs. Song came to welcome the two. Because there is something to do, I hope the prince will not blame." Ji Qirui walked out of the room slowly, and immediately pretended to be after seeing Ji Changye and them.
Knowing his hypocrisy, Ji Changye didn't want to cooperate with him in acting, so he said bluntly: "The prince is serious, how dare the ministers expect His Royal Highness the prince to welcome him in person? I've delayed you from playing with antiques and tasting tea." There is no lack of meaning in the tone.
Ji Qirui laughed awkwardly twice, if he hadn't taken care of the meeting, he would have refuted Ji Changye a long time ago. Now he can only change the topic in order not to cause a quarrel, and say, "The prince is laughing, who is this? Won't the prince introduce him?"
Suddenly, his eyes fell on Yuanbao, who was following Song Qian, and asked pretendly.
Song Qian vigilantly guarded the ingots behind him, always guarding against whether Ji Qirui would do anything to hurt the ingots.
Sensing Song Qian's hostility towards him, the prince explained, "Song Lady and the prince, don't think too much, this prince is just curious. This kid looks smart, but did he ever go to school?" Ji Qirui looked at Yuan Bao as he spoke, and showed a gentle smile in a fake manner.
Yuan Bao was not afraid of Ji Qirui's strangeness and jealousy of his identity, and calmly replied: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the grass people are now studying in the academy, but today Mr. Academy has something to go out, so he was able to come to see you."
Looking at Yuanbao's calm appearance, Ji Qirui was inevitably surprised, in his impression, even his royal brothers and sisters were playful and active at this age, and they didn't have the courage of Yuanbao at all.
So soon Ji Qirui laughed, and took out a silver ingot from the purse on his body and handed it to the ingot: "You kid is really articulate, it seems that Song Niangzi is really good at teaching her son, which is admirable. Oh, this is your reward."
Looking at the silver handed over, Yuan Bao was not moved by this, but his eyes were full of disgust. Song Qian took the lead in refusing and said, "His Royal Highness Prince Xie's reward, it's just that Yuanbao is still young, and it is a blessing to be appreciated by His Royal Highness the Prince, and this kind of valuable reward is really unbearable."
"This is a reward for this child, and not for you. How do you know he doesn't want it? This prince has not yet seen that there is no one in this world who does not like silver." Saying that, Ji Qirui handed the silver to Yuanbao again, and Song Qian suddenly looked at him worriedly.
But soon the trust in her heart for the ingots took over, and she knew that the ingots were not interested in them.
As she thought, the ingots still didn't take it, and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, what my mother said is right, this reward is too valuable, and the grass people naturally can't afford it. Besides, everyone has their own aspirations, and it is not power and wealth that can solve what others think. Therefore, the grass people are not here, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to blame, it will be counted on the grass people's heads, don't involve your mother."
Hearing this, Song Qian breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was really a child who had been taught by himself, and he was not bewitched by Ji Qirui's crooked ways.
Ji Changye was also pleased, feeling that Yuanbao was old and responsible, thinking that if Yuanbao had the opportunity to become an official in the future, he would definitely be a clean official for the sake of the people.
Ji Qirui didn't expect Yuan Bao to think of this, so he was even more embarrassed, and he could only praise against his will: "What you little guy said is really unexpected, I think it must be a character in the future." Since you don't accept it, this prince won't force it. I think this kid should be so eloquent and eloquent as his father, what do you say, Song Niangzi?"
Because Ji Qirui had misunderstood that Xu Wenyan was Yuanbao's biological father, he deliberately said this to embarrass Song Qian.
At the same time, Changfeng and Ji Changye expressed disdain for Ji Qirui after hearing this.
Because Yuanbao's own father is exactly the opposite of what he says.
Changfeng didn't know when Ji Changye became a good speaker, after all, it was usually difficult to hear Ji Changye say a few more words.
Song Qian frowned, obviously guessing Ji Qirui's intentions, and didn't want to answer and get involved in this matter.
Ji Qirui saw this
He didn't ask them, but beckoned them to go inside and led them to the backyard.
"Knowing that you are coming, the prince here has been cleaned by the prince, so you don't have to be restrained in doing whatever you want. Come, serve tea." Ji Qirui sat on the main seat of the pavilion, probably showing off his might.
But others don't care at all.
Ji Qirui's voice fell, and Xu Wenyan took the tray and presented the tea.
Although Song Qian had been prepared, he was still a little caught off guard and didn't know how to deal with it.
Ji Changye and Changfeng next to them also guessed the purpose of Ji Qirui's invitation to come, which was nothing more than wanting to use Xu Wenyan to provoke.
But they are not easy to deal with, Ji Changye's calm posture is upright, and he is relaxed about Xu Wenyan's pouring of tea, and he does not have the appearance that Ji Qirui expected, which can't help but disappoint him.
Xu Wenyan finally came to Song Qian's front and asked with concern, "Madam, are you okay if you haven't seen you for many days?" I did something wrong that day, don't be angry, forgive me?"
Song Qian recalled what he had done to himself that day, and couldn't help but tremble, and responded nervously, "What are you talking about. I don't understand, I'm afraid you've mistaken someone." She prayed for Xu Wenyan to leave quickly, not only for herself, but also for Yuanbao to know Xu Wenyan's identity.
But Xu Wenyan didn't intend to give up, and said even more: "As long as you don't get angry, you can punish me as much as you want. Don't do that in front of your children, okay?"
These words made Song Qian suddenly raise his head and meet his eyes, and Song Qian quickly understood that Xu Wenyan had already met Yuanbao.
Seeing that Yuan Bao did not refute, Song Qian only felt a headache. I didn't expect that what I desperately wanted to hide would be seized so easily.
"Yuanbao, do you remember me?" Xu Wenyan also shamelessly evoked the name of Yuanbao, touching his head affectionately, as if he was really like a father.
This made Chang Feng angry, and he couldn't wait to teach Ji Changye a lesson for him, but Ji Qirui was still there, he could only think about it, and then stared at Xu Wenyan angrily.
Song Qian blocked the ingots behind him and said warningly, "If you tell me something, why do you ask a half-year-old child? Besides, he doesn't know you, how can he answer?" At this time, in order to protect the ingots, she had temporarily forgotten about that day. But to protect their children violently and not let them be contaminated?
