Rong An looked at his guard and asked, "Xiao Li, how long have you been with me?"
Xiao Li said: "When the prince was six years old, I followed him. Thanks to the prince, he did not dislike me and has been with me all these years."
Rong An sighed, it turned out that it had been so long. Xiao Li could be said to be his confidant, but in the end, he betrayed as soon as he said betrayal, which made Rong An feel hurt. Although he usually likes to be lazy, his IQ is not low.
, I can’t tell that Xiao Li’s words are expressing injustice for him, rather than sowing discord. Even though he spends less time on studies than others, he still doesn’t fall behind. How could anyone think that he is a fool?
Are you fooled after just a little provocation?
But he didn't know who else besides Xiao Li had these thoughts. They also didn't think about it. He was an adopted prince and had no uncles to support him. How could he fight for the throne? Is he relying on dreams?
And what are the benefits of being an emperor? He wakes up earlier than a chicken and sleeps before a dog. A life like Princess Wei's is what he pursues.
Rong An said, "I know you do it for my own good, but don't say anything like this in the future." He added, "Be careful, walls have ears."
He fooled Xiao Li casually without revealing his true thoughts, so as not to alert the enemy. If he wanted to live a peaceful life, he had to get rid of these messy dangerous factors around him.
Xiao Li showed a look of realization, "It's because I'm not considerate enough."
The prince did not reprimand him, which shows that he also had this idea in his heart. He just said what the prince was thinking.
Rong An asked again: "You are almost 20, have your parents seen your marriage?"
Xiao Li coughed slightly and showed a somewhat embarrassed expression: "Xiao Li already has someone he likes. She is gentle and virtuous. I am lucky to meet her. Xiao Li wants to get engaged first, and wait for more money.
After he has a big family fortune, he can marry her in a glorious way." His glory and wealth are all tied to the prince. If the prince keeps living like this, he will not get much benefit from being his bodyguard. The woman he likes is the woman he likes.
Since she is both beautiful and beautiful, he naturally does not want her to be wronged after marrying him.
Rong An was a little suspicious. Did Xiao Li start doing these things because he came into contact with some inappropriate people?
Rong An looked up at the sky, hoping that there would be fewer idiots around him. After all, they were the people who had been with him for many years. If they really got involved, he felt strange in his heart.
What Rong An didn't know was that Cai Qingyun had the same idea as Xiao Li.
When Cai Qingyun heard the maid talking to her about this, she said calmly: "Princess Wei is really domineering. She doesn't even give face to the emperor's own children."
You have rested all night, how can you still be tired? In the final analysis, you just don’t want to see Prince Zhen, so you can just find any excuse. Especially when she doesn’t see you, she just disappears, and she sends people away with gold, just like sending away poor relatives.
The maid said: "The emperor and the queen mother have always treated her with courtesy. In the hearts of these two people, the status of Prince Zhen is naturally far inferior to hers. This is also her confidence."
Cai Qingyun said: "Once the emperor and his ministers, once these two leave, how can the new emperor tolerate a existence like her?"
Cai Qingyun pondered for a moment and said: "Prince Zhen is good at wine, so please send me a jar of the bamboo wine I brought."
"Just say that I heard that the prince is a good calligrapher, so I shamelessly used bamboo wine to ask for his ink pen."
This not only helps him become famous, but also releases his goodwill towards him.
Cai Qingyun sent the bamboo wine over, but returned it intact not long after.
Her maid said: "The prince said that his writing is not worthy of elegance, so I won't waste your good wine, young lady."
Cai Qingyun was stunned for a moment, but she didn't feel angry at all, "Prince Zhen is quite arrogant."
It's normal not to accept it. As a concubine of the Hou family, Prince Zhen Rong An may not be able to take her seriously. Next, she will behave well.
…
Rong An's bodyguard Xiao Li asked in confusion: "My lord, don't you like wine? Why did you refuse Miss Cai's wine?"
Xiao Li has a very good impression of Miss Cai. His beloved Aweng was spotted by an official's son a year ago and wanted to take her as his concubine. Miss Cai saw injustice and helped rescue his Aweng. Miss Cai has always been dignified.
Zhili, if I didn’t really appreciate the prince, I wouldn’t have rashly sent him the bamboo wine I brewed myself.
Rong An coughed lightly and said, "What do you know? If you accept gifts casually, it will be bad for Miss Cai's reputation."
The main reason is that he doesn't want to get involved with this Miss Cai. This Miss Cai can surpass the legitimate daughter of the Hou Mansion and join the team, and her spirit is not ordinary. He who just wants to lie down and doesn't want to fight, don't delay others.
Xiao Li wanted to say a few more words, but seeing his master's impatient expression, he finally gave up.
Another day passed, and Rong An went to greet Su Yueling again. This time, the greeting was not for pocket money - of course, if the princess's sister-in-law was willing to give another pocket money, Rong An would not refuse.
Su Yueling met him this time. Well, it was simply because she had rested enough and was resurrected with full health, not because she wanted to eat melons.
As soon as they met, she said bluntly: "Ms. Cai gave you some wine?"
Rong An: "..."
This princess is really direct and doesn't understand what euphemism is at all.
"Yes. Do many people know it?"
Su Yueling shook her head, "No one knows, after all, this is Di State's territory." Cai Qingyun was very careful when asking people to deliver wine, and specifically waited for the evening.
As for her knowing, it was because Chaoyan directly sent her ten maids to serve her, including two packages to inquire about.
Rong An touched his nose and sighed, he was here to complain this time.
"I just want to be an idle waste, just eat, drink and have fun every day. But the people around me don't allow it, and I don't know what they really like about me."
He reluctantly told the story without any intention of hiding it.
"So I came to see my sister-in-law to see if I could learn from her and see if there was any way to make money. If they see that I am obsessed with the businessman's way, they might give up on me."
Su Yueling saw Rong An's calm demeanor before, but she didn't expect that he was also a transparent person.
She thought for a while and said, "Even if you deliberately become a businessman, they might think you are hiding your capabilities and bide your time, and they might admire you even more."
Rong An: "..." He had to admit that this possibility was really high.
The corners of Su Yueling's lips curled up, "Isn't it easy to make money? Just make good use of the people around you."
"If they want to support you, you will definitely need money to increase your power. As subordinates, of course they have to make money to share your worries." If you want to seize the heir these days, it can't be justified without investing hundreds of thousands of taels.
Su Yueling could probably guess that the reason why those people chose Rong An was just to follow the dragon's merits. The emperor had already arranged the people around Zhao Zhao, and those people couldn't find a chance to get close to him, so they had to choose someone else.
"Don't worry, I will clear the way for you in front of the emperor, so you can rest assured and earn these people's money. It's delivered to your door anyway, don't give it up for free." Then we can see who can't wait to jump.
come out.
Rong An was dumbfounded. He was stunned by Su Yueling's operation. How could he do it like this?
He hesitated and said: "Then do I need to give you a share?"
Su Yueling glanced at him and said, "I don't lack that little money."
Rong An... tears of envy almost flowed from his mouth.
