Prince's Mansion.

Due to the old practice of the previous dynasty, the prince's mansion of this dynasty was not located in the palace, but on a street very close to the imperial city.

After the prince came out of the palace, he breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately asked people to go to Pei Qingyan non-stop, and at the same time went back to the house to let people prepare food and wine.

It didn't take long for Pei Qingyan to come.

The prince smiled: "It's really not easy to see you now, and you won't tell me when you return to Beijing, it's really you." ”

As he spoke, he hit Pei Qingyan on the shoulder with a fist.

Pei Qingyan received a punch from him, deliberately took a few steps back, and covered his shoulders in pain.

The prince was stunned for a moment, and said in shock: "What's wrong with you?" Isn't it, I didn't even use any force just now to beat you like this? Don't lie to me. ”

Pei Qingyan glanced at him and said speechlessly: "I met an assassin a few days ago and was a little injured. ”

"Huh?"

The prince felt guilty.

He didn't know that Pei Qingyan was injured.

If I had known, I would not have touched him.

The prince was at a loss.

"Y-How are you now? Does it matter? Why don't I send someone to get a doctor? ”

Pei Qingyan glanced at him.

Suddenly straightened up, his hand was released, and the corners of his lips were still holding back a smile, which looked like he was injured, and it was clearly a lie to him.

The prince was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, laughing and scolding.

"Okay, you actually dare to lie to me, you Pei Qingyan, deceived the prince of the dynasty, what crime should you be guilty of?"

As he spoke, he raised his fist and struck him.

Pei Qingyan naturally wouldn't be hit by him, and he avoided it with a single step on his long legs.

There happened to be a stone pillar next to him, and the two of them circled around the stone pillar.

"How could I lie to you, I was really injured, but your punch just now was too light, and it really didn't touch my wound, okay, okay, don't make trouble, get down to business, uncle summoned you to the palace this time, and scolded you again?"

Speaking of this, the prince stopped, dejected.

"Don't mention it, when did I enter the palace without being scolded?"

Pei Qingyan frowned, "Why is it this time?" ”

"Youzhou civil unrest."

Speaking of this, the prince's face became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "There was also a civil unrest in Youzhou last year, and the imperial court allocated money and people, and it took half a year to quell the civil unrest, but I didn't expect that this civil unrest only stopped for half a year, and then it started again, last time it was the soldiers led by General He Yong, He Yong is my person, I observed the meaning of my father, I am afraid that I feel that He Yong was derelict in his duties, reported false news, and did not really quell the civil unrest at all, so now it is on my head." ”

Pei Qingyan's brows also furrowed.

"Last year's civil unrest in Youzhou was because of a catastrophe, but this year's civil unrest is clearly because His Majesty wants to build Dongling, there are too many people who have been recruited, and the people are overwhelmed by the burden of taxation and forced labor, so they are exposed, what does it have to do with General He Yong?"

The prince hooked his lips mockingly.

"I don't believe that my father doesn't know the cause of the civil unrest, but he pretended not to know, so I can only cooperate with acting, in short, I can carry this pot, and I have to carry it if I don't carry it, I just hope that if I bear the anger, I can turn the big things into small things, and don't implicate General He anymore."

Pei Qingyan was also silent for a while.

He remembered the figure of the emperor's uncle working weekdays.

I thought of his suspicious personality again.

Not to mention the crown prince, even he sometimes feels helpless.

is obviously a blood relative, but he doesn't trust anyone, and it's right to firmly hold the power in his own hands, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that the prince is benevolent and very filial, so why did he force it here?

The prince sensed the depression of the atmosphere, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, don't talk about this, by the way, come, let's drink." ”

Pei Qingyan picked up the wine glass and drank with him.

The prince chattered: "I heard that my father is going to marry you and Danyang?" Do you accept it? ”

Pei Qingyan handed him a knowingly inquiring look.

"What do you say?"

The prince sneered.

"You certainly didn't say yes."

"Of course."

The prince shook his head.

"The power of the uncle's family is too great, although the queen mother has reined in the past two years and no longer cares about the affairs of the court, but the support for the uncle has not decreased at all, and the voices of the court about the relatives are becoming more and more noisy. I think my father is not only dissatisfied with his relatives, but also dissatisfied with me, the prince. ”

Knocking on his relatives, isn't he beating him as a prince?

Pei Qingyan said: "So you have to be more cautious, don't get caught in the wrong place, as long as you boil it up, and when you get through it, you don't have to wronged yourself anymore." ”

The prince only felt a pain in his heart.

"Yes, I've been boiling it for nearly thirty years, and I don't know when I'll get through it."

As he spoke, he seemed to be in a depressed mood, and drank another glass to himself.

Pei Qingyan was silent, not knowing what to say.

The emperor's uncle was very good to him, and it stands to reason that he should not speak ill of his uncle behind his back.

But the prince is the only brother he has intersected with since he was a child, and seeing the prince living like this, his heart is not comfortable.

Fortunately, the prince is not a pessimistic person by nature.

He was just depressed for a while, and then smiled: "Okay, don't talk about those bad things, continue to talk about you and Danyang, since you decided not to marry her, you must have other plans, you haven't met a favorite woman all these years?" ”

Before Pei Qingyan could speak, the prince hurriedly raised his hand again and stopped, "Don't deny it first, you don't look at how old you are, although I am a few years older than you, but I married a wife at the age of fifteen, and now the crown princess has given birth to three children for me, if you don't hurry up, be careful that my children will be much older than your children when the time comes, and your children will not be able to win fights." ”

Pei Qingyan snorted coldly.

"They are reasonable people and do not fight easily."

The prince choked and said in disbelief: "What do you mean, my child is unreasonable?" ”

Pei Qingyan said: "This is not what I said. ”

"You."

The prince pointed at him and nodded again and again, "Okay, I think I should let my father give Danyang to you, Danyang is my cousin, you are a cousin, you two are just right together, hehe, I want to see what kind of situation you will be under the jurisdiction of Danyang's pungent temperament." ”

Pei Qingyan's eyes moved.

He suddenly thought of what it would be like if he and Song Anning became married and gave birth to a baby.

Song Anning should be a good mother.

You can see it by looking at Mrs. Song.

Open-minded, sensible, childlike, and smart, if he gives birth to a daughter, he will be like Song Anning, smart and generous, informal, he doesn't like the women in the backyard in Beijing, like a bright flower in the shelf, it looks good from a distance, but when he got closer, he picked it up, and found that it was just like that, and it would wither after a while.
