Yuan Qingling got on the carriage and said to Yu Wenhao: "I'll go back first, and you brothers can go talk."
Yu Wenhao asked her to wait, then turned to ask An Wang, "Fourth brother, what do you want to talk about?"
The two brothers hadn't talked together so calmly for a long time. At least, there was no hostile look in their eyes.
King An said: "You haven't been to my house for a long time. Why don't you and your wife come to my house as guests? It just so happens that your fourth sister-in-law also wants to meet your brothers and sisters."
Although Yuan Qingling was very sleepy and tired, since King An had already talked about this, and she thought that at this juncture, she might as well speak more clearly, so as not to be always guarding against this and that.
Therefore, she said to Yu Wenhao: "In that case, let's go. Anyway, our two families haven't moved around during the Chinese New Year."
During the New Year, although brothers get married separately, according to custom, they still visit each other's homes to pay New Year greetings and get together as brothers.
Just like that, in the faint morning light, the carriage clattered towards Prince An's Mansion.
Princess An also got up early. Someone came to the palace in the middle of the night, so she didn't fall asleep again. As soon as it was dawn, she simply got up and waited for news from the palace.
Hearing the servant say that the prince is back, she hurriedly went out to welcome him, but when she saw Yu Wenhao and Yuan Qingling coming together, a smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she quickly stepped forward and held Yuan Qingling's hand, "Princess Princess
, I have always wanted to visit you, but I didn’t expect you to come today.”
Yuan Qingling looked at her face and felt that her face was much rosier, and there was a hint of sweetness in her brows. It seemed that she and Wang An were living well.
Without Ah Ru, they are much more affectionate.
The two female family members went in to talk, and brothers Yu Wenhao and An Wang entered the study.
Although the sky was getting brighter, Wang An still lit a few candles in the study to dispel the last bit of gloom.
Seeing Yu Wenhao looking at him, he said sarcastically: "I don't like darkness, you know."
Yu Wenhao said without mercy: "Fourth brother has been afraid of the dark since he was a child, I know."
Talking about his more ridiculous weaknesses, King An also laughed. When he smiled, he showed his white teeth, and he felt that his eyes were much clearer.
There was a stove for making tea in the study, so King An began to put charcoal into it, lit it red, and then put the teapot on it and said: "Make some tea and drink it. If you don't drink some tea this early in the morning, you will feel like you are going to miss something."
of."
Yu Wenhao sat on the chair and looked at him. He was familiar with his movements and looked enjoying himself, as if he always loved doing these tasks.
"These are fine hair tips. The tea soup is clear. When you drink it, your teeth and cheeks will be fragrant. I will bring you a jar back later." King An turned around and smiled at him.
Yu Wenhao said absently: "Okay!"
The quiet look at this moment reminded him of the situation in the mansion when he was a child. At that time, there was no resentment between the brothers, and they lived happily day after day, playing and fighting.
A cup of tea was handed to him, and the heat lingered on him. He looked through the mist and saw King An with a smile on his face, "Drink!"
Yu Wenhao took it and said, "Thank you!"
King An took a sip himself, and then laughed at himself: "Why are we brothers so divided? I even have to say thank you for pouring you a cup of tea."
Yuwen Haoyan said sincerely: "Yes, brothers shouldn't be so divided."
King An moved his chair over, looked at him, and said sincerely: "Lao Wu, I suddenly realized today that my father is old."
"It doesn't count. He's less than fifty, so he can't be considered old." Yu Wenhao said.
"Have you ever seen him lying on the hospital bed?" Wang An asked.
"Everyone gets sick." Yu Wenhao couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so he could only respond like this.
King An sighed deeply and looked at the tea soup, "You must also know what I am thinking. Yes, I did aspire to be the prince in the past, and I have never given up even now. My fourth brother has hurt you."
Husband and wife, but the Crown Princess cured the Princess regardless of the previous grudges, and I was confused for a moment, do I still want to fight with you?"
Yu Wenhao looked at him, "So? Is Fourth Brother planning to give up his position as Crown Prince today?"
King An thought for a while and slowly shook his head, "No, I still want to be the prince. Since my thoughts have been exposed, it would be hypocritical to hide it. And you may not believe me if I say I give up."
Yu Wenhao said: "I really don't believe it."
"I will still find your faults and try to sink you," King An put down the tea cup and said seriously: "But it is not the case now. Father's illness is caused by overwork. It is conceivable that we, as sons,
How unsatisfactory, in fact, whether Beitang falls into your hands or mine, it must be strong and prosperous in the end, so why don't we give up fighting first and do something practical for Beitang down-to-earth?
The king believes that whichever one of us is the emperor will only care about our family, country and world, what do you think, fifth brother?"
Yuwen Haoran said calmly: "If the fourth brother is telling the truth, I am very happy. The fourth brother knows the current situation of Northern Tang Dynasty better than anyone. We cannot let our father carry this mess alone. As a son and a minister, we all
It's time to stand up and my father will share your worries."
King An breathed a sigh of relief and looked at him with clear eyes, "In other words, the fifth brother promised his brother a temporary truce?"
Yu Wenhao was upright and calm, "A truce is a battlefield term. If I really have to use battlefield terms, I can only say that I have only defended and never taken the initiative to attack."
King An said: "That's true. However, the fifth brother's defense is always aggressive. I have been defeated several times in my attacks, and I have lost my troops and generals."
Yu Wenhao's face didn't change, "It's better to be still than to move. If the fourth brother wants to keep what he has now, it's best not to move rashly."
"At least, until the Northern Tang Dynasty becomes a great power in China, I will not have other thoughts unless something else happens." King An's words were ambiguous, but it was clear that he was somewhat sincere.
Yu Wenhao sighed and said: "Now we brothers should unite to share our father's worries and make him feel happy."
King An nodded, the candlelight illuminated his handsome face, and the gloomy look in his eyes disappeared, "However, you still have to be mentally prepared. Just because the two of us have a truce does not mean that the eldest brother will not take advantage of this moment to do something."
Demon, my father is sick, and he is the most nervous. He is not nervous about his body, but nervous that if his father dies at this time, you will immediately ascend the throne, and he will have no chance at all. Therefore, according to his return to the throne,
With the words said in it, he is now so anxious that he is jumping over the wall."
"It's good if you can't hit him to death!" Yu Wenhao said coldly.
King An shook his head, a little solemnly, "Actually, his proposal is not bad, provided that he really thinks about the court. However, I am afraid that he wants to use the money of the Li family to hoard strength for him to deal with you in your attempt to seize the crown prince."
You, Lao Wu, if you contribute to this matter, you will be the most disadvantaged."
Yu Wenhao flicked his sleeves, looked at him and said, "I've never even been afraid of Fourth Brother, so why should I be afraid of him?"
After hearing this, King An didn't know where to put his face. He wanted to distinguish a few words. Thinking about it, it was true. He had done it so many times, but had he never damaged anyone's hair? On the other hand, Yu Wenhao, every time he was in danger, afterward,
He can always win the hearts of a group of people, and now he has surrendered to more than half of the powerful families in the court.
