Meng Shi told him not to care, he caught up with his daughter, and coaxed him well: "Don't blame your father, this matter is too much to do, and he won't even tell me, including your eldest brother." ”

Yunzhu pursed her lips.

Meng: "Okay, okay, let's go back early, Fushan should also come back." ”

Yunzhu nodded.

Out of the courtyard, Yunzhu looked nonchalant, and when she returned to her own territory, she couldn't hide her sullenness, and there was no need to hide.

Seeing Cao Xun leisurely leaning on the couch in the second room to read a book, Yunzhu looked at him suspiciously.

Cao Xun was also looking at her, put down the book, and said with a smile: "Who made you unhappy?" ”

Yunzhu snorted: "Haven't you heard about my brother? ”

Cao Xun beckoned to her.

Yunzhu took off her embroidered shoes and sat down beside him, where forsythia and pomegranate were guarding outside and did not come in.

To say such a thing, Cao Xun hugged the little lady into his arms and said in a low voice: "I heard, you should have heard a lot of big truths on your father-in-law's side?" ”

Yunzhu: "The truth is the truth, can I not worry, the prince didn't like his younger brother in the first place, and now his younger brother has gone to the second highness again, and when the prince ascends the throne, the first thing to suppress is our family." ”

Cao Xun: "If you can take it into account, the emperor can also think that with his relationship with his father-in-law, he will not let the Li family or the Gu family face that kind of situation." ”

Yun Zhu looked at him, leaned into his ear and asked, "You mean, the emperor may change the second highness?" ”

She made almost an airy sound, and the warm breath blew in Cao Xun's ears with every word.

After she finished speaking, Cao Xun also leaned into her ear and replied in the same breath: "It's not impossible." ”

Yunzhu's heart was hot for a while, the Li family and the prince's Liangzi had already been married, it was not what the Li family thought, it was the prince who looked at the Li family unpleasantly first, if he could really change the second prince to be the prince, it would definitely be a good thing for the Li family.

"What if it doesn't?" Yunzhu can't just ponder the good.

Cao Xun kissed her earlobe: "Then there is still me." ”

The eldest prince is definitely impossible, whether it is the second prince or the crown prince, the mother family is the Cao family.

Yunzhu was silent for a moment and reminded him, "None of them are your closest nephews. ”

The crown prince really ascended the throne, he may still respect Cao Xun, a capable uncle, but he will not continue to reuse the Li family, who he dislikes, in the face of his uncle.

Cao Xun said with a smile: "I can have today, and it is not because of the identity of my uncle. ”

He rubbed the tip of the little lady's eyebrows, which was still frowning, looked at her and said, "No matter what happens in the future, with me, I will not let you be wronged, let alone stand by when my father-in-law and them encounter injustice." ”

Yunzhu thought to herself, these words were not much different from her father's words to comfort her.

It's just that at least Cao Xun is willing to talk to her about this.

What's more, he is the uncle of the country, and no matter which prince ascends the throne, his position will not be shaken.

Therefore, it is always right for Yunzhu to be a "loving couple" with him.

Chapter 45 "It has nothing to do with age, it's that men eat you."

Li Yong and Gu Shoufu know the inside story, and Emperor Yuanqing has no plans to change the crown prince immediately, maybe he will not have it in this life.

Although Cao Xun didn't know the inside story, the second prince and the crown prince were his nephews, and he didn't need to think too much about this matter at all.

Even if the other courtiers wanted to take sides, they had to wait and see for a while, so as not to show anything right away.

Only the eleven-year-old prince was really frightened by the gentle Emperor Yuanqing.

Empress Cao's lack of confidence to appease was useless, and after a night of tossing and turning, Li Xian became the second prince's companion early the next morning, and the prince actually started a fever.

Emperor Yuanqing and Empress Cao got the news and came to see their son together.

The crown prince was lying on the emperor, his little face was yellow and red, and when he saw Emperor Yuanqing, his eyes shrunk, with obvious fear.

This appearance made Emperor Yuanqing feel distressed and angry, distressed that his son was sick, angry that his son was unproductive, and he couldn't bear any pressure!

As an emperor, everything in the world is on his shoulders, where is the prince experiencing now?

Everyone knows that the prince is sick of the heart.

After the imperial doctor left, Emperor Yuanqing also threw Empress Cao out, and he sat in front of the prince's hospital bed by himself, touched the little boy's forehead and said: "What are you afraid of, I just asked Li Xian to go to your second brother to study with me, and I don't mean anything else, you are still my prince." ”

Such gentleness suddenly poked the prince's heart, and all the fears turned into tears of grievance and kept rolling down: "Father, don't you really want to abolish me?" ”

Emperor Yuanqing said in his heart, yesterday he only thought about thirty percent, but now seeing the prince's timid as a mouse, he has become fifty percent thinking!

But it is indeed not so easy to change the crown prince, Wenchen is the saddest at that level, and even Gu Shoufu will not support him.

Emperor Yuanqing was very afraid of trouble, so he was willing to give the crown prince a chance for a few more years, and by the way, he also looked at the ability of the second prince, and finally made a decision.

"It's nothing, I just admire Li Xian's kid, and putting him on your second brother's side can also inspire you to study and practice martial arts."

Emperor Yuanqing looked at the prince gently, encouraging his son to pour out his heart.

The prince was really bewitched by his loving father, and whispered his concerns: "I'm afraid that the Ningguo Mansion will secretly support the second brother because of this." ”

Emperor Yuanqing smiled: "The Li family is all loyal to the king, I am the emperor, they are loyal to me, and if you inherit my position in the future, they will continue to be loyal to you." What's more, I just gave Li Xian an errand to accompany your second brother to study, and your status in his heart is still above your second brother, as long as you learn to win people's hearts, he is still more willing to use it for you. ”

The crown prince remembered Li Xian's cold attitude towards him, and explained: "Don't hide it from my father, I have already recruited him again, but he refuses to accept my affection. ”

Emperor Yuanqing taught his son from another angle: "What if he doesn't appreciate it, the Ningguo Mansion is now Li Yong's house, and Li Yong is followed by Li Yao, how can it not be Li Xian's turn, Li Xian does not accept your affection, you can also rein in Li Yong Li Yao's heart, as long as their father and son are loyal to you, they don't need you to speak, they will find a way to make Li Xian only loyal to you." ”

The prince subconsciously wanted to refute his father, he was a father and son, and he was a brother, so he naturally had one heart, how could he help him?

In my mind, there was a picture of my father and Li Yong talking happily.

My father believed in Li Yong so much, and he would never think badly of Li Yong.

Therefore, the prince just nodded as if he were taught.

Emperor Yuanqing was relieved, everything that should be mentioned was mentioned, so if the prince was not enlightened, then really don't blame him for being ruthless.

.

Knowing that the prince was sick, Cao Xun said to Yunzhu: "We will also go to visit and call the second brother by the way." ”

Yunzhu: "I'm afraid that the prince will be in a worse mood when he sees me." ”

Cao Xun smiled: "How come, you are now his aunt." ”

His expression and tone were no different from usual, but Yunzhu always felt that his words seemed to hide something else.

Fortunately, in such a face-saving job, Yunzhu is also willing to accompany Cao Xun to do it.

Waiting for Yunzhu to change into a dress with a relatively plain color, Cao Shao had already been called by Cao Xun, and the brothers were sitting in the hall talking.

Yunzhu thought a lot about it when she changed her clothes.

The younger brother is already by the side of the second prince, and if the crown prince is really changed in the future, the status of the Li family and the Cao family in the capital will not change much.

What she wants to prepare for is the prince's unchanged situation, with the prince's mind, after ascending the throne, the Li family will inevitably be suppressed.

At that time, Cao Shao, his own uncle, may be more effective than Cao Xun to persuade the prince.

Therefore, she not only wants to be a loving husband and wife with Cao Xun, but she can't be too cold Cao Shao's heart, at least she has to maintain a superficial harmony, because Pan's side can't be eased, but she doesn't have to deliberately change her attitude, she can only use it if she has affection, and Pan's only hates her.

"The second brother came so quickly, it seems that I was rude."

Walking to Cao Xun's side, Yunzhu smiled at Cao Shao, just like an ordinary kind sister-in-law, the same as when Cao Xun asked Cao Shao to come over for dinner a few days ago.

But Cao Shao could feel the difference.

After the Xie family rejected his mother's proposal in July, Yun Zhu's eyes looked at him with sarcasm at first, and gradually turned into indifferent coldness, until he won the first place in the hunting competition, and she regained this superficial and amiable smile.

Seeing her smile, Cao Shao was very satisfied.

Cao Xun looked at the little lady who turned her eyes on him after greetings, and left the table: "Let's go." ”

It is a long way from the official residence to the palace.

Cao Shao consciously let his brother and sister-in-law walk in front of him.

Today's Yunzhu is dressed plainly, with only a hosta on his head, two pale pink tourmaline beads, and a small and elegant pearl pendant on his ears.

When she tilted her head to talk to Cao Xun, Cao Shao could see her delicate face with white and pink and her thick and curly eyelashes.

At this time, Yunzhu is a quiet and soft beauty.

Cao Shao didn't dare to look at it more, and when he lowered his eyes, he thought, if Yunzhu didn't blame him, and the eldest brother didn't doubt him, he would just stand behind and watch her and the eldest brother be respectful and content, and he would have nothing else to ask for.

The prince's annex arrived.

Emperor Yuanqing has left, and Empress Cao is guarding her son.

Cao Xun took his wife and younger brother to salute the mother and son first.

Empress Cao sat on the edge of her son's bed, her smile mixed with tiredness: "There are no outsiders here, don't be polite to my brother and sister-in-law, and so is Huaibei, let's be exempt." ”

She glanced at Yunzhu more.

In the matter of visiting people, men who pay attention to manners are far less concerned than women, Yun Zhu left Cao Xun brothers, and came to the prince's bedside with a concerned face, seeing the prince's haggard little face, Yun Zhu said distressedly: "The face is so red, has the fever not gone away?" Have you ever drunk the medicine? ”

Empress Cao knew that she was polite, and she might have been a little concerned, but what the prince felt was unadulterated tenderness, especially this tenderness came from an extremely beautiful aunt.

It can be said that the moment he saw Yun Zhu's lightly locked eyebrows and moist eyes full of worry, the prince actually forgot about his physical discomfort.

He couldn't take his eyes off at all, and said blankly: "I've drunk the medicine, my aunt doesn't have to worry." ”

Yun Zhu wisely didn't ask the prince how he was sick, and only continued to look at the prince with pity while asking what the imperial doctor of Empress Cao said.

Empress Cao replied softly.

Cao Xun and Cao Shao became spectators for the time being, and their eyes wandered over the three of them.

Cao Xun thought that his little lady was better at face-saving than him.

Cao Shao thought, it turns out that Yunzhu will care about people so much, when he was sick before, Yunzhu would only ridicule him for being stupid, such an adult would not take care of himself, gentle or something, Yunzhu would only tell him to keep his distance and not to give her his illness.

Sure enough, children are taking advantage.

Cao Shao looked at the prince slightly acidically.

The prince is enjoying the gentleness of his beautiful aunt, and it doesn't matter if the uncles open their mouths or not.

Empress Cao saw that her son liked Yunzhu, so she took the opportunity to call Cao Xun to the other side of the screen, and missed this opportunity, it was easier for her to see her younger brother, but it was difficult to discuss anything with Cao Xun openly.
