Although Yan Huisheng arrived late, as the crown prince, as he stepped into Duke Cheng's mansion, Duke Cheng quickly welcomed him out in person.
This is a treatment that the eldest prince and the second prince absolutely do not have. It is the only treatment that belongs to the prince.
Duke Cheng Guo accompanied Yan Huisheng into the mansion and asked him with a smile, "Your Highness, why are you here today?"
The princes do not easily interact openly with courtiers. As the seizure of power intensifies, they naturally hide their own trump cards. In normal times, the older princes do not easily participate in banquets held by various governments. And Prince Yan's echo, even more
It is extremely low-key and will never get involved unless there are special circumstances.
Yan Huisheng said warmly: "I heard that Second Young Master Ye came to Daliang. Although he set foot in the capital of Daliang due to personal matters and came to live in the Chengguo Palace for a short while, he is still a member of the Ye Prime Minister's Palace and a highly valued minister of the Southern Chu King. My father is
After learning about it, I paid great attention to it. Especially today is the birthday of the young lady of Ye Xiangfu. Since it is held in the Chengguo Palace, Gu Gu has been entrusted by his father to congratulate me. I also want to meet the second young master Ye and ask the King of Nanchu.
Be at peace with the night.”
Duke Cheng Guo nodded repeatedly, "Gui Xue just came out of the inner courtyard and was talking to His Highness and His Highness the Second Highness." After finishing his words, he looked at Yan Huisheng's expression and added, "His Highness and His Highness the Second Highness also just came out."
At the moment."
The implication is that we haven’t talked for long, but you came quite early.
Yan Hui smiled lightly, "Let them talk first, Gu is not in a hurry. Since Gu is here today, he naturally wants to have a banquet in the mansion before leaving."
"Of course this is excellent." Cheng Guogong was very happy, "Your Highness, please!"
The purpose of Yan Li and Yan Lin coming to Chengguo Duke's Mansion today was to meet Ye Guixue. In fact, they had wanted to see Ye Guixue for a long time. However, Ye Guixue had been very low-key after coming to Beijing. After entering Chengguo Duke's Mansion, he had been keeping a low profile.
He stayed behind closed doors. It is said that he came from afar and was tired from traveling and resting in the palace. No one was seen. Therefore, in the past few days, if there were any posts inviting him, he rejected them. Even the emperor sent someone to tell him when it would be good to rest.
Even though he was invited to the palace to have a talk, he did not immediately go to the palace to meet him. He did not show up until today, when the Chengguo Palace was celebrating the birthday of his little niece.
Although Nanchu is a vassal state, for Daliang, it has not paid tribute for more than 20 years. It has the arrogance and confidence to come and go if it is not recruited. What's more, he is here for private matters.
It's not about national affairs, it's more free.
Since he didn't leave the house, Yan Li and Yan Lin naturally couldn't rush to Duke Cheng's house to see him. Therefore, the two of them had been holding back for several days. Today was an opportunity, so they naturally rushed to Yan Huisheng's house.
coming.
It was the first time for both of them to see Ye Guixue. Although they were not ugly, in front of Ye Guixue, they felt that they were compared a bit obviously. Looking at the boudoir ladies in the distance who were blatantly looking at Ye Guixue.
You can see it.
Ye Guixue, on the other hand, remained indifferent to all the glances directed at him.
Yan Li pretended to be friendly and joked, "Young Master Ye hasn't married yet, right? Isn't there no girl you like in Nanchu? Why don't you choose one from our Daliang?"
Ye Guixue shook her head, "His Royal Highness Lao Da is concerned. I am already married."
Yan Li was stunned.
Yan Lin was also stunned and asked strangely: "Didn't you say you are not married?"
"Today my father sent me a letter, saying that I have arranged a marriage for Guixue. When I return to Southern Chu, my king will grant me a marriage." Ye Guixue smiled lightly, like the spring snow in March, all things melted.
Yan Li and Yan Lin looked at each other, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes. Yan Li calmed down and asked tentatively: "May I ask which noble girl from Nanchu family you are?"
Gui Xue smiled and said nothing at night.
Yan Li and Yan Lin looked at each other again, thinking that if Ye Guixue didn't say anything, they would have to send someone to investigate immediately. Ye Guixue didn't seem to be trying to win over her, so maybe they could start with his fiancée.
Xie Lin and Zhou Gu just stepped into the living room and heard the three people's words. Xie Lin didn't think much, but Zhou Gu suddenly stopped in his steps. His eyes instantly fell on Ye Guixue, as if they were real.
Ye Guixue was very perceptive. She turned her eyes towards the door and saw a man in brocade clothes, covered with pure and clear clothes. He was looking around like a clear breeze and bright moon, and his eyes paused.
Zhou Gu suddenly turned around and walked out.
Xie Lin said "Oh?" "Zhou Gu, aren't you going in? Where are you going?"
Zhou Gu didn't look back, "There are annoying people here, so I won't go in. I'm going back."
Xie Lin: "..."
The person he said he hated was the eldest prince, right? Or the second prince? It couldn't be the second prince Ye from Nanchu.
He was quite curious about Ye Guixue, so when Zhou Gu went crazy, he naturally wanted to go in. So, he turned around, turned his feet, entered the living room, and bowed to the people sitting there.
A circle of hands, "Your Highness, His Highness the Second, Your Highness the Fourth, Your Highness the Fifth, Your Highness the Seventh...Second Young Master Ye!"
Ye Guixue stood up and said, "Thank you, young prince!"
Xie Lin looked at Ye Gui
, entered the imperial court at the age of sixteen, and became famous all over the world, and his reputation was indeed well-deserved.
Xie Lin has always been good at saying nice things when dealing with people and when there is no conflict of interest. He is the best at calling people brothers and sisters when they meet. Therefore, he smiled and said: "Brother Ye, I have a banquet in my house and I didn't invite you. Because
It's understandable that you've been tired from traveling, but have you rested enough now? I'll invite you another day, so you can't shirk it."
Ye Guixue smiled lightly, "That's easy to say."
Xie Lin glanced around and said, "Huh?" "Where's Brother Su?"
Someone asked: "Brother Xie, are you asking about Brother Su Xingze? He was called away by Brother Lu Fengyan. The two of them probably went to talk elsewhere."
Xie Lin suddenly realized, "Then I'll go find them."
To be honest, he didn't want to see the eldest prince and the second prince, nor did he want to get involved with these two people, so he turned around and left.
Yan Li and Yan Lin both lowered their faces at the same time. Xie Lin was better than Zhou Gu, and he knew how to say hello to them. Zhou Gu had been working as a companion for the Prince of the East Palace, and he really regarded himself as a member of the East Palace.
Unlike them, he didn't give them a good look when they met. He was the only one in Daliang Jingcheng who was so clear-cut. Even in front of His Majesty, it was clear that he looked down on them.
But unfortunately, the two of them couldn't do anything to him, they just hated him so much, thinking that one day, Zhou Gu would fall into their hands, and if they didn't skin him, none of them would have a surname of Yan.
Zhou Gu walked out of Duke Cheng's Mansion and happened to meet Duke Cheng leading Prince Yan Huisheng into the mansion. He looked gloomy and was bumped into by Duke Cheng's Mansion and Yan Huisheng.
Yan Huisheng stopped and called him warmly, "Zhou Gu."
Zhou Gu suddenly stopped, cupped his hands, bowed his head and said, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince."
"Where are you going in a hurry?" Yan asked in response.
Zhou Gu pursed his lips, "I'm not going anywhere, I plan to go back home."
Duke Cheng Guo asked quickly: "The banquet is about to begin. Why don't the Fourth Young Masters leave after the banquet? You left in such a hurry, but there is something wrong with the reception in the house?"
"No, there is just an annoying person who makes me feel uncomfortable and I don't want to stay anymore." Zhou Gu glanced at Cheng Guogong.
Duke Cheng Guo choked, and for a moment he didn't know how to speak. I can't ask you who you hate, right? You don't have to guess, I know it's the eldest prince.
Compared to the second prince, he hates the eldest prince even more. This is something everyone knows. Of course, the second prince has no face in front of him.
Yan Huisheng nodded when he heard the words, "Then go back!"
Zhou Gu nodded, turned around and left. He walked very quickly and was out of the house in a blink of an eye. He left on horseback, galloping away with the sound of hoofbeats.
Duke Cheng thought to himself that not only the old Protector, Princess Sheng'an and the people in the Protector's Mansion were indulging Zhou Gu, but also Prince Yan Huisheng was also very tolerant of Zhou Gu. He never restrained him from doing superficial things, which was probably true.
It was because of this that he developed his current temperament.
Duke Cheng Guo accompanied Yan Huisheng to the living room. When everyone saw the prince coming, they all stood up to greet him. At this time, in front of others, the eldest prince Yan Li and the second prince Yan Lin, although they were brothers, were very polite and polite.
And he loves his younger brother, the prince.
After some respectful greetings, everyone took their seats.
Yan Huisheng smiled and talked to Ye Guixue, "Second Young Master Ye, I have heard about your reputation for a long time. When I see you today, you are indeed extraordinary. How is the King of Nanchu? How is Ye Xiang?"
Ye Guixue also answered with a smile, "I have heard of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a long time, and countless people have praised him highly. I am really lucky to see you today. My king is well, and so is my father. I would like to express my condolences to Your Highness."
Yan Hui responded with a smile: "My father is very concerned about the King of Southern Chu and Ye Xiang. I also send my regards to my father."
Ye Guixue said with shame: "When I came to Beijing, I was tired of traveling and traveling, and I was not feeling well. That's why I couldn't go to the palace to see His Majesty Daliang at the first time. I entered the palace not long ago. My king was also very concerned about His Majesty Daliang's dragon body. When I left Kyoto
, my king also told me to ask my descendants to say hello in person."
Yan Huisheng smiled and nodded, "I heard that Second Young Master Ye can stay in the capital for one month?"
Ye Guixue nodded, "That's my plan. Don't worry about your niece, and spend some time with her to get used to it."
The two of them spoke harmoniously, and although they spoke ordinary words, everyone listening had different thoughts, especially Yan Li and Yan Lin. They all felt that Ye Guixue's attitude towards Yan Huisheng was kinder than theirs. Could it be because
Is Yan Huisheng the crown prince? Or does the King of Southern Chu want to support Yan Huisheng? They can't tolerate not thinking too much.
