Is the prince abolished today?

Chapter 101

With Mrs. Wei's reassurance, Marquis Wei gave full play to his aggressive and decisive style, and in the afternoon of that day, he found a reason to lure the cheap apprentice into the mansion.

"Ah? Mrs. Wei wants to see Gu? But Gu didn't even prepare a gift, so why go to see the old lady empty-handed."

The young man was annoyed for a moment, looked up at the tall figure beside him, wrinkled his nose and said: "Master, why didn't you tell me earlier, what should I do now, Mrs. Wei will definitely think I'm rude."

Naturally, Wei Zhao would not say that he forgot, was careless, and never thought about the gift at all, so he made it up without changing his face: "Oh, you said this, the master actually deliberately kept it from you, just because he was afraid of you Then spend money to buy gifts. You probably don’t know, Master’s grandmother is used to thrift, and she doesn’t like others to buy gifts for her. If you buy them, she will definitely reprimand you and ask you to return the gifts.”

Marquis Wei felt that his on-the-spot adaptability was first-class perfect, which not only gave the old grandmother an unwarranted reputation, but also tricked the obedient apprentice.

"Ah? Is that so?"

The young man was skeptical, and asked back: "Then why did the elder brother bring a bunch of gifts when he came to visit the old lady in the mansion last time, and the old lady warmly entertained the elder brother?"

In this matter, he must not lose to Big Brother Cheap.

Wei Zhaozheng was drinking tea to cover up his guilty conscience, and almost choked up when he heard the words, thinking that this little thing is not easy to deceive.So he continued to brazenly make up nonsense, and brought some private goods along the way: "That's because the eldest prince is an outsider, and even if the old lady is unhappy, it's not easy to refuse in person. But you are different, you are a teacher's apprentice, eh ...Rounding up and down, you are counted as people in the Hou's mansion, if you go against the old lady, the old lady will definitely scold you."

After finishing speaking, Wei Zhao still did not forget to use his peripheral vision to secretly look at the little thing's reaction.

However, the young man obviously didn't notice his private goods, the young man was simply happy that Mrs. Wei regarded herself as her own, and the cheap brother as an outsider.He just likes the clear division of intimacy and distance!

The young man instantly put the matter of the gift out of his mind, and turned to worry about another more difficult matter.

"Then master, how should I call the old lady? Now that I and the master have known each other, it would be a bit too extravagant to call me the old lady again. But the master is a generation older than me, and it is not appropriate for me to call the grandmother after the master." , what should I call it? Call, call it grandma?"

"Pfft—" Wei Zhao spit out the tea this time.

The boy was startled, and obediently handed over the handkerchief.Wiping the corner of his mouth, Wei Zhao twisted his face severely, thinking, he's still too grandma, why don't you just call your master a beast.

"cough."

Wei Zhao cleared his throat and tried his best to be as serious as possible, so that he would not look so animalistic: "This matter of seniority should not be messed up. Your Highness will naturally follow His Majesty and the princes. Your Majesty treats the old lady and the princes with the respect of a queen mother." Respecting the old lady as a grandmother, His Royal Highness will naturally regard the old lady as a grandmother in his heart. Just think, if His Highness calls the subject's grandmother the Great Grandma, wouldn't His Majesty want to call him Grandma? But His Majesty is the same generation as the subject's father. This... Your Highness asked Where should His Majesty put his face?"

The young man is very persistent about this matter: "But if this is the case, how can I tell the old lady that I am a disciple of the master. This is the first time I have met the old lady as a disciple of the master. Alas, I am really afraid I'll be sorry."

Although the old lady has classified the cheap brother as an "outsider", as a member of her own, he still wants to make the relationship between himself and the old lady closer, so that the cheap brother will have no chance to take advantage of it.He didn't care at all that there was no place to put the face of the cheap father, it would be better if he just threw it in the country of Java.

……

"Ah-"

Emperor Changping, who was working hard in Chengqing Hall to deal with government affairs, sneezed twice inexplicably.

Wang Fulai worried and said: "Your Majesty is not feeling well? Why don't you go to the bedroom to rest for a while, and deal with government affairs later."

Emperor Changping put down his pen, stretched his sore shoulders, and asked casually, "Where is the prince? Why haven't you seen the prince come into the palace for the past two days? Didn't I ask him to come to the imperial study every day to study government affairs with me?"

Wang Fulai took a plate of iced plums and a bowl of iced sour plum soup from the waiter, put them on the imperial case, and said with a smile: "My servant heard that the Marquis of Dingbei took His Highness to Mingxiu Villa to escape the summer heat yesterday. How did His Highness play?" I'm happy, but the wound on my body doesn't seem to be healed yet. When His Highness recovers, I will naturally remember His Majesty's instructions and come to the Imperial Study to study government affairs."

"Well."

Emperor Changping endured the jealousy and sourness of his courtiers and nodded, and after taking a sip of sour plum soup, he finally asked with some difficulty: "Wang Fulai, do you feel that the crown prince seems to be a little too clingy to Marquis Dingbei? "

Although I couldn't tell what was strange, Emperor Changping always felt that something was wrong.No matter how good the relationship between master and apprentice is, there is no reason to stick together every day.

Wang Fulai said with a smile: "It's a bit. However, His Highness has suffered so much since childhood, and has such a wonderful relationship with Dingbeihou as a master. Maybe he regards Dingbeihou as a relative."

Emperor Changping felt even worse.When it comes to relatives, his father should be the closest one, but the fact is that his crown prince has never given him a good face so far.

"I hope I think too much."

Emperor Changping took another sip of sour plum soup to relieve the sourness in his heart.

At this time, the figure of a small servant swayed twice outside the palace gate, Wang Fulai went out quietly and asked, "What's the matter?"

The little servant pointed to a certain place in front of the hall, with a troubled expression on his face: "Sir, the eldest, the eldest prince has come again and said that he wants to see His Majesty, and also said that if His Majesty does not see him, he will kneel until His Majesty is willing to see him."

Wang Fulai opened his eyes, and he saw a handsome and thin figure kneeling under the scorching sun, with a sickly paleness in his brows and eyes, it wasn't the eldest prince Mu Jue.Thinking about it, he came here again to intercede for Empress Ji.

Wang Fulai shook his head in his heart, this prince, why doesn't he understand the principle of judging the situation at all, knowing that His Majesty is in a fit of anger, he chooses this time to make trouble.Wasn't it enough to be rejected by His Majesty twice yesterday?

"What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and ask someone to hold an umbrella for the First Prince. The First Prince has always been weak. If something goes wrong, none of you can afford it."

After Wang Fulai gave some instructions, he hurried into the hall.

When Emperor Changping heard about it, he was really angry. Even the iced sour plum soup couldn't suppress his anger, so he hardened his heart: "Since he wants to kneel, let him kneel! I asked him to go back to the mansion yesterday to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors. It seems that, like his mother, he doesn't know how to reflect on his behavior at all."

Wang Fulai didn't dare to respond, but secretly complained in his heart.

As slaves, the master is not happy, and they have no good fruit to eat.The eldest prince is also like this, isn't he forcing His Majesty in front of the whole palace?

……

On the other side, in Dingbeihou's Mansion, Wei Zhao finally succeeded in sending the cheap apprentice to Mrs. Wei after swearing against his conscience to describe his grandmother as an unconventional outsider.

The young man was dressed in a snow robe, standing under the shaded corridor, his eyes were like stars, his face was like jade, his every move was looking forward to God, he was smart and wise, and he was not like a human being.

Mrs. Wei liked it more and more, she took the boy's hand very naturally, turned her head and asked her grandson, "Don't you have military affairs to do?"

Wei Zhao: "..."

Wei Zhao immediately understood that Mrs. Wei wanted to drive herself away.Thinking of what Mrs. Wei wanted to inquire about, Wei Zhao, who had always been calm before the mountain collapsed, became a little nervous for no reason.

I don't know what the little guy is thinking in his heart, whether he understands love or not, if what he wants, it will be smoke from the Wei family's ancestral grave, but what if the little guy doesn't have that kind of thought at all.Grandma rashly asked if he would look down on his master, would he never get close to his master in the future... Wei Zhao couldn't imagine such a scene.Although he knew that Mrs. Wei would be careful, Wei Zhao was like a candidate waiting for the results to be released, his heart was beating like a drum, his back was sweating, and his nervous hands and feet were almost frozen.

In the end, it was Mrs. Wei who gave me a quick look. Wei Zhaofang touched his nose in embarrassment, and said, "Yes, my grandson suddenly remembered that there is still an urgent business to deal with. His Royal Highness, Grandma Lao will entertain you." gone."

Wei Zhao was almost sweating, and left Mrs. Wei's yard in a daze.Mu Yun didn't understand, the cheap master clearly said that he took a rest today, so he took him to the mansion to play, why suddenly he has urgent military affairs.

But Mu Yun couldn't care less about thinking about it soon, because Mrs. Wei prepared a lot of fun gadgets and delicious snacks for him.His Royal Highness is very good at blowing rainbow farts, coaxing Mrs. Wei from ear to ear like a cannonball. The old and the young gathered around the small round stone table in the gazebo, chatting while eating, and the laughter spread all over the yard. can hear.

The servants were also happy, and sighed sincerely, this little prince is really capable, his small mouth is like smeared with honey, he has only been to the mansion twice, and he can make the old lady so happy every time he returns.

After eating, Mrs. Wei ordered the stone table to be cleaned up, and looked lovingly at the young man opposite: "Xiao Yun, you came just in time. Grandma's eyesight is not working well, and I happen to have something difficult to ask for your help."

After finishing speaking, he ordered the servant woman beside him: "Go and get the things."

The maid took the order and left, and after a while, she brought a bunch of scrolls and piled them all on the stone table.

Mu Yun looked at Mrs. Wei puzzledly: "What is this?" He wondered, maybe the old lady asked him to help her appreciate calligraphy and paintings, but he didn't know anything about those things.Thinking of this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince became jealous of the cheap elder brother who is very researched in calligraphy and painting.

Madam Wei just smiled: "Open it and have a look, you will know."

Mu Yun could only bite the bullet and picked up a roll, thinking, if you lose face, you can lose face, not many people around see it, it's a big deal, after you go back, bully Big Brother Cheap to make up for it.But when Mu Yun really opened the scroll, he froze for a moment.

What was painted on the paper was not splash-ink landscapes, nor flowers, birds, fish and insects, but a young girl of twenty-eight years old holding a round fan. The brush and ink were very new, obviously a recent painting.Mu Yun unfolded several other volumes, still showing pictures of young girls in different shapes, some are gentle and quiet, some are cute and lively, and some are holding a big knife, wearing armor, and showing the heroine spirit.Each scroll is also marked with the identity, age and preferences of the woman in the painting.

Mu Yun faintly realized something, and immediately frowned, feeling that the woman's smile in the painting was so eye-catching.No, he wanted to pick their eyes out!

Mrs. Wei quietly looked at every change in the young man's expression, and at this moment Fang happily said: "These are all sent by the matchmaker. They are said to be noble girls who are waiting to be married in Beijing, and they all intend to marry the Dingbei Houfu. You have good eyes, and you help grandma to see each other, which one is suitable to be a wife with Youan?"

The young man's face was pale, and his fingers were tightly clasped on the edge of the stone case. After a long time, he raised his head and said in a daze: "Master, Master, is he going to get married?"

"Yes."

Mrs. Wei didn't seem to see the boy's strange reaction, and sighed very worriedly: "There is no reason for a man not to start a family and start a business. Your master is 27 this year. Among the noble children of his age in Beijing, who is not three wives and four concubines? He ran all over the place, but he didn't even move. Now those women in Beijing are laughing at grandma, how can grandma not worry."

"And not only your master, but also royal children of your age should consider marriage. Does Xiao Yun have a girl he likes?"

"I..." The boy shook his head in a daze, obviously never thinking about such things.

"Don't worry, your majesty is in charge of your marriage. His majesty will definitely find a girl with both talents and looks to be your crown princess. At that time, you will stay with your crown princess all day long, and you won't always Sticking to your master."

"Ah?" The young man seemed to have heard something terrible. He couldn't imagine that he was in the same room with a strange woman all day long. After a long while, he said, "What about Master? After Master gets married, he will only be with him, Does his wife stay with him?"

Mrs. Wei smiled: "Of course, after your master gets married, you will eat, sleep, go out together, read and write together with your teacher's wife. Said. Your wife will cook tea and cook for him, make his bed and make quilts for him, and wait for him to bathe and change clothes. They will become the most important people in each other's lives, supporting each other until they grow old, and staying together for a lifetime. When the time comes, you can't Sticking to your master's side twelve hours a day like now, because your teacher's wife will be jealous."

The young man was completely stunned, and the scroll in his hand fell onto the stone table with a clatter.

How could it be like this, cheap master clearly said that he would protect him forever and not let him be wronged, cheap master never said that he would marry his wife.That teacher's wife wants to eat, sleep, and play together with Master Cheap, so what about him, where is his position?He, he really hates this teacher's wife!

The more the boy thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he thought about it, the sadder he became, and finally his eyes were a little red.

"Gu, Gu still has something to do, Gu is leaving first, and I will come to see the old lady some other day."

The young man uttered these words almost choked up, and ran out of Mrs. Wei's yard, throwing all manners and manners to Java.

……

The maidservant who has been serving Mrs. Wei anxiously said: "Old lady, looking at the appearance of the little prince, this servant clearly has intentions for our Lord Hou. Otherwise, he would not react so strongly to the matter of Lord Hou's marriage. Why didn't the old lady stop him?" Your Royal Highness, tell him the truth?"

Seeing the little prince leaving sadly, it's very pitiful, the servant girl can't bear it.

Mrs. Wei ordered people to put away the scrolls one by one without delay, and sighed: "What do you know, the word 'love', only when he has tasted it himself, can he truly understand the ups and downs in it, and can truly understand it. My own thoughts. The prince is relatively slow and ignorant about emotional matters. If I say it directly, it will scare him. You have to remember that people trust themselves much more than others, especially the prince who was traumatized when he was young. A child. Someone tells him a thing and he wants to understand a thing, although the result is the same, but the result is completely different."

"This is just one. Second, the prince's marriage is of great importance and involves a lot of things. It is not what my wife said it would be possible. Your majesty is the most important hurdle. And your majesty's hurdle can only be done by the prince." Overcome, if the prince is not determined, he can't even recognize his own intentions, and he can't even persuade himself, how can he compete with His Majesty or even the officials. So I need to let him figure out what he intends to do in this life Pass."

"In short, these two children still have a long way to go in the future. I hope they can get what they want and live a happy life."

Mrs. Wei raised her head, just in time to see a vine protruding from the eaves of the porch, giving birth to glistening fresh green, and the corners of her mouth curved into smile lines.

Only then did the maid convincingly say, "The old madam has far-sighted plans, and this slave and servant are short-sighted."
