Ye Chengguan knew that he was angry because of the Zhuo family's affairs, but when he thought of what he was thinking about today, his mind suddenly became enlightened.
Among all the noble concubines in the capital, he only felt that Concubine Lu was an admirable person. She had been with the emperor for so many years, and she never formed any secret factions or flattered the monarch. Even though she was not favored, she still earned his majesty's respect.
.
Mr. Wei often mentioned in his ears that His Majesty would go and ask Concubine Lu whenever he encountered any unresolved matter.
It seems that it was Concubine Lu's indifferent temperament that gave birth to such a son who also did not fight or compete.
For this reason, Mr. Wei also lamented many times that Prince Ning was simple by nature. If he could put his mind on military affairs and gain more experience, he would definitely be able to do well in the future.
It's a pity that this guy just wants to be a little prince who doesn't care about worldly affairs.
Perhaps he is not deeply involved in the world and does not know the dangers of this world. Instead of being angry with him, it is better to take advantage of this guy's appearance and let him feel the support of the people outside the palace.
Zhu Zhiye was accustomed to his arrogant temperament. After all, he and he both came from Wei Yuyuan's sect. Although he was two years younger than him, he entered the sect several years earlier than him. He should at least call himself senior brother.
, and how could this guy have any respect for himself?
"I finally figured it out, Ye Chengguan, you are also here to see my joke."
Zhu Zhiye sneered dissatisfiedly.
"I'm not that elegant."
Ye Chengguan deliberately treated each other with a cold look, and then turned his attention back to Hua Rujin and Wu Muning: "It seems that His Highness will not be able to get rid of his anger for a while. Miss Hua, Miss Wu may be hungry after traveling for such a long time.
Well, why don't you follow me to the nearby area to have some light meals."
Although Wu Muning admired Ye Chengguan's talent and learning, his attitude towards Prince Ning was really disgusting. He speculated that he was loyal to Prince Yun, so he dared to ignore His Highness like the Zhuo family.
It's just that this guy is pursuing Qian's affairs again, and it's really hard to see what kind of medicine he is selling in his gourd.
"I'm a little tired, so I won't disturb Master Ye and Shopkeeper Hua."
Wu Muning said tactfully: "I think Shopkeeper Laihua still has something to discuss with Mr. Ye, so why don't you go with Mr. Ye."
Hua Rujin was about to reply when Ye Chengguan pulled her directly to go out: "Then you two should rest early. If you have any errands, please tell the postmaster."
"Ye Chengguan, where are you going to take Xiao Hua'er?"
When Zhu Zhiye saw that he was going to take Hua Rujin away by force, he immediately became anxious.
"It seems that Your Highness is confused today. Didn't I just say that I would take Miss Hua to a nearby meal?"
As soon as Ye Chengguan finished speaking, Zhu Zhiye stretched out his hand to stop the two of them: "I don't allow it."
"joke."
Ye Chengguan smiled coldly: "Governor Hua is now my staff. Regardless of his identity as Prince Ning, His Highness is just a white-clothed man with no official position. Where do I take her without His Highness's consent?"
"There is no intimacy between men and women. Even if she is a staff member you hire, you cannot interact with her in private."
Zhu Zhiye glared at him fiercely: "Who knows if you have any other intentions?"
"Incomprehensible."
Ye Chengguan felt that he was arrogant. He had already seen his thoughts about Hua Rujin. No wonder he followed him all the way to the provincial capital like a follower. He shook his head helplessly and said: "Your Highness really cares about Hua Rujin."
It breaks my heart. Ever since I worked with her, even the elders in her family have never complained. Your Highness’s behavior today is really puzzling to me."
"you"
Zhu Zhiye was speechless after being refuted by his few words.
However, Wu Muning saw the situation clearly from the sidelines, and was afraid that His Highness really had a crush on Shopkeeper Hua.
But his behavior today was really unreasonable, so he had to help Yuan and said: "I suddenly felt a little hungry. Since Lord Ye kindly invited me, your highness might as well go with you to get some food, so as not to bother Yi Cheng again at night."
"Just go."
Zhu Zhiye curled his lips arrogantly and took the lead to go out.
Wu Muning followed closely behind.
Hua Rujin and Ye Chengkui looked at each other in disbelief. Although they could see that they were not dealing with each other these days, Ye Chengkui's words today were indeed a bit harsh.
She didn't know why Ye Chengguan suddenly became so hostile to Prince Ning.
Prince Ning is just a little outspoken, but his character is not bad. At least so far, I have never heard or seen him do anything treacherous or evil. Compared with the so-called Prince Fu and Prince Yun, he is simply
It's a breath of fresh air.
This was also the fundamental reason why she never set up defenses against this silly prince.
Seeing the two people walking quickly in front, there was a gap. Hua Rujin explained to Ye Chengguan in a low voice: "I was planning to come to the provincial capital a few days later, but Mu Ran came to my house and wanted me to avenge his cousin.
, His Highness Prince Ning knew that Prince Fu was involved behind the Zhuo family, so he followed him. Unexpectedly, he would embarrass the Zhuo family as soon as he arrived in the provincial capital today."
"Oh, His Highness Prince Ning also dares to interfere in the affairs of the Zhuo family?"
Ye Chengguan was a little surprised.
Hua Rujin explained seriously: "I don't know the specific circumstances of the case, but from Mu Ran's tone, it doesn't seem like Mr. Zhuo is guilty of madness. Furthermore, I heard that the Zhuo family has been involved with Prince Fu in recent years.
Prince Ning felt that there was something fishy in this, and he didn't want to watch the government take human life lightly, so he decided to take care of it."
"The Zhuo family member has already been killed in public. How can we further investigate whether he is guilty of madness?"
Ye Chengguan's tone suddenly became serious: "This case has been closed and there is no need to investigate further. Besides, the convict woman did kill someone in public. This is a fact. What's the point of pursuing it further?"
"But."
Hua Rujin felt that he was acting strange today, as if he was a different person, whether it was towards Prince Ning or herself.
Before she could speak, Ye Chengguan immediately waved his hand to stop her: "Nothing to worry about. You have just arrived in the provincial capital today. Don't think about anything else. You need to settle down first."
As he spoke, a warm smile gradually appeared on his face: "A new restaurant has opened near the Yamen, and the Yangzhou cuisine in it is excellent. What you have to do today is to fill your stomach."
Seeing that he deliberately changed the topic, Hua Rujin also realized that this matter was more difficult to deal with than she thought, so she had no choice but to obey his wishes and did not mention the Zhuo family's affairs again.
When they arrived at the restaurant, the shopkeeper saw that the new chief inspector was visiting. He immediately prepared a private room and brought out all the signature dishes in the restaurant. Knowing that Ye Chengguan liked peace and quiet, he did not dare to ask anyone to come in and disturb him.
Hua Rujin stared intently at the delicacies on the table, including the fragrant crab meat and lion head, the brightly colored boiled dried shreds, soft pocket eel, stir-fried shrimp, three sets of shelduck and Wensi tofu
, the last dish is soft, glutinous and delicious braised pork, the rich aroma makes people really want to eat it.
"I like Yangzhou cuisine the most. Mr. Ye is really my confidant, so I won't be polite."
Wu Muning was already so hungry that her chest pressed against her back, but she no longer wanted to worry about Prince Ning's feelings, so she picked up her chopsticks and started picking up vegetables.
Seeing this, King Ning also put a piece of braised pork into Hua Rujin's bowl and introduced with a smile: "Even the emperor liked the braised pork in Yangzhou when he was still alive. The pork belly he chose is carefully prepared. You can see it."
Not only does it look rosy in color, it also tastes fat but not greasy, fresh and sweet, little flowers, you should eat more, lest anyone accuse you of losing weight due to hunger."
