Chapter 129 Undercurrent
The third prince, accompanied by the prince Qingqian, came to Minghong Courtyard in casual clothes.
When Wei Wujing saw the third prince, he felt that his external temperament was somewhat similar to his own. He did not look like a prince, but rather a scholar.
The third prince’s gifts are also famous calligraphy and paintings. However, Wei Wujing likes them. Wei Wujing, who is used to gold and silver utensils, thinks that the third prince’s gifts are quite worthy of his wishes.
Wei Wujing warmed the tea himself. Young Master Qingqian deliberately asked Rouxin. Wei Wujing gently blew the teacup, but did not answer.
In Wei Wujing's heart, Gongzi Qingqian asked questions clearly and did this in a way. How could he not know what Gongzi Qingqian did?
The third prince's pure nature made Wei Wujing feel unhappy. People like him do not believe in goodness, and once they meet, they feel uncomfortable.
After the third prince left, Wei Wujing spoke out his doubts.
"Do you think he can be a good emperor?"
"Is he not suitable for him to be generous and kind?" asked the young master Qingqian.
"I think he is a good emperor of the gentry!" Wei Wujing said in one sentence. To put it bluntly, the third prince is easy to control and is the ideal emperor in the eyes of the gentry!
The young master Qingqian's face turned red. He knew that although he had no intention, what Wei Wujing said was not without reason.
Marquis Hai is loyal and righteous, so he naturally likes people like the third prince who are kind and trustworthy.
The other gentry chose to support their masters for their respective interests. Even if they failed, they would only lose some benefits and could not move the root of the matter!
In other words, no matter which prince the imperial power falls into the future, it will not shake the status of the gentry!
Wei Wujing told Gongzi Qingqian that he was going back to Hangzhou. He asked Gongzi Qingqian to take care of the matchmaker more. Gongzi Qingqian said that he would go to the palace to visit Mrs. Yun tomorrow!
Mrs. Yun was controlled by Ji in the palace. After the matchmaker was favored, she was given the surname Ji. Although Ji was jealous, she knew how to be sensible. This is why she was able to control the harem until now.
Prince Qingqian came to visit Mrs. Yun with the third prince. He had a secret conversation with Mrs. Yun for a long time.
The third prince had already drunk more than a dozen dishes of tea outside Yunzhao Palace. The young master Qingqian walked out slowly.
The third prince stood up and walked to the front of the young master Qingqian. The young master Qingqian walked out without saying anything.
The third prince looked at the shaking bead curtains in the mother's bedroom, and then followed Gongzi Qingqian.
The two of them left the palace gate, and the young master Qingqian walked to his carriage before stopping. He turned around and looked at the third prince.
"Your mother just hopes you can live a safe life!"
"I know! But you said that if my mother wants to have a day to stand out, I should fight for her, right?" The third prince then realized why the young master Qingqian had this attitude after talking to her mother.
"You have thought about it!" Young Master Qingqian looked at the third prince earnestly.
"It won't change!" The third prince said confidently.
Only then did Gongzi Qingqian realize that the third prince seemed to be much more mature. He nodded and got on his own carriage.
The third prince watched Prince Qingqian leave before getting on his carriage. He knew that he had no way out now. Prince Qingqian was his only hope for him and his mother!
Although his father loved him very much, his health was getting worse day by day.
As soon as the third prince returned to his mansion, his guards sent an invitation. He opened the invitation and saw that it was his fourth brother who invited him to the banquet on the seventh day of the seventh month.
Isn't that day a day of Qiqiao? The third prince put the invitation on several tables. He slowly sat down. Calculated the day, it was only eight days before Qiqiao.
The third prince wrote an invitation and sent it to the residence of Gongzi Qingqian. Gongzi Qingqian felt that the fourth prince would definitely take action this time.
There is a disagreement between the young master Jinlan and the fourth prince. Will the fourth prince use this banquet to make a big fuss?
The second prince specially came to Prince Jinlan's mansion for this matter. Prince Jinlan knew about the second prince's worries and worries.
"Or why don't you go this time!" The second prince frowned and looked at the teacup in his hand.
"What should come will come!" Young Master Jinlan said coldly.
"Since you decide to go, be completely prepared!" The second prince knew that young master Jinlan was not a reckless person. Since he dared to go, he must have had a complete solution!
Rouxin knew that Young Master Jinlan would use Juan Niang. The fourth prince did not know that Juan Niang had defected to Young Master Jinlan. Then the person who was in danger at this banquet was not Gongzi Jinlan, but the Fourth Prince Sima Li.
Tuan has been working hard in the front yard recently. Young Master Jinlan usually only talks with him intimately. At this time, Rouxin will always go to the yard to get some breath.
Feng Yan has always been depressed these days. Rouxin feels that he must have known some inside information.
The struggles of power are usually cruel and ruthless, especially the struggles of imperial power.
It is normal for the emperor to go to court after he is sick recently.
Young Master Jin Lantou was still busy for a few days. The banquet was coming, but he became leisurely.
On the fifth day of the seventh month, Rouxin and Gao Yue embroidered purses and handkerchiefs in the house. Feng Yan asked Rouxin to go over and serve the young master.
Rouxin put down her needle and thread and went to Gongzi Jinlan's study. Gao Yue stuffed a purse she embroidered and gave Feng Yan a purse.
Feng Yan looked at the purse for a while, then turned around and stuffed it into his arms and went to the entrance of the study.
Rouxin saw Young Master Jinlan playing the piano. She sat silently at the tea table to listen to the piano.
Gongzi Jinlan has superb piano skills and her skills are the style of a gentry. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a state of unity of humans and pianos.
"Dad!" Young Master Jinlan's son ran in stutteringly.
Young Master Jinlan quickly stopped, got up and picked up her son. Yang Yaxian stood outside the study door and watched her son kissing Young Master Jinlan's chin with her little mouth. A smile appeared on her face.
"Let's go! Let's go for lunch!" Gongzi Jinlan held his son and Yang Yaxian to her yard.
Rouxin can only silently bless them now. Although she still did not completely let go of her feelings for Prince Jinlan, she no longer felt sad for him.
Although Gongzi Jinlan made careful arrangements, he knew that nothing could be foolproof. So he would be with his wife and children today.
Rouxin returned to her hut with regret. Gao Yue brought her food, but she couldn't eat it and didn't move.
Gao Yue knew that Rouxin liked Young Master Jinlan. But she just didn't understand why Rouxin couldn't marry him?
Rouxin was sleeping all the time and didn't eat dinner. Gao Yue had to pack up.
The next morning, Gao Yue realized that Rouxin had a high fever. She hurried to find Feng Yan.
Feng Yan invited a doctor to treat Roxin. Roxin took two doses of decoction and relieved her fever.
Prince Jinlan came to the study but found that Feng Yan and Rouxin were neither there.
The guard said that Feng Yan went to invite the doctor to treat Rouxin. Prince Jinlan thought Rouxin was sick because of jealousy, so he did not go to see Rouxin.
It was not until Feng Yan came back to explain the situation that Young Master Jinlan hurried to Rouxin's house.
Rouxin had already gotten up and cleaned up as she was about to serve him. Young Master Jinlan looked at Rouxin's pale face and felt heartbroken.
"I'm no longer in trouble!" Rouxin said with a smile.
"Okay!" Young Master Jinlan wanted to stay with Rouxin for one more night! So he did not let Rouxin stay in his room.
Rouxin subsided because of the high fever. She was still trembling when she brought tea to Gongzi Jinlan.
Young Master Jinlan hugged Rouxin. Rouxin struggled slightly.
"Don't move! Maybe we only have tonight!" Gongzi Jinlan understood the words of Rouxin.
What's going on? Wasn't he ready? Rouxin's heart became confused.
"If I can't come back tomorrow! You can take good care of them, mother and son for me!" Young Master Jinlan spoke so gently for the first time.
"I'll be with you!" Rouxin held Gongzi Jinlan's hand.
Young Master Jinlan was not used to others touching his hands. He moved his hands, but did not take them away.
