It's a shame that I just missed the mark, otherwise my dreams would definitely come true today.
However, he must get his father's consent tomorrow. In order for his father to stop hesitating, he has to think of a way to solidify the matter when he returns.
After thinking about it, Prince Jing was quite satisfied with his performance today, so his father should not be suspicious.
But who is the boss? Prince Jing was a little confused.
"My son, please retire!"
When Prince Jing left the imperial study, Xiao Chengzi, who was waiting beside him, quickly held up a paper umbrella for Prince Jing.
Prince Jing exchanged greetings with Xiao Quanzi, then turned around and prepared to leave.
As he was walking towards the palace gate, he saw someone who surprised him, or rather someone he didn't want to see outside the royal study.
Former chief assistant Liang Zhirui!
The rain curtain curtained, and the fine raindrops blew away with the wind. This cold wind, combined with the raindrops falling on the body, made people chill to the bones.
Xiao Chengzi threw the umbrella at Prince Jing. How could one umbrella support two people? One side of Prince Jing's body under the umbrella was already wet from the rain, let alone Xiao Chengzi who was holding the umbrella.
Thin raindrops blew over diagonally, covering Xiao Chengzi's face and body.
After wiping the rainwater from her face, Xiao Chengzi saw that her master was standing still, looking at the person coming towards him.
Xiao Chengzi didn't dare to ask questions. He knew that the prince would definitely not want to see this person at this moment.
It would offend the prince, so he didn't even dare to say a word.
Xiao Quanzi, who was not far behind the two, looked at the two standing in the rain and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
Look! This is the difference between a master and a servant. They are the same people but have different fates.
Otherwise, why would people in the world do whatever it takes to climb up? Isn’t it just to be able to control their own destiny and that of others?
Xiao Quanzi looked back at the imperial study room, and silently swore in his heart that even if he was no longer a man, he would become the highest-ranking chamberlain.
Prince Jing's originally gloomy face turned into a smile as Liang Zhirui got closer and closer.
"It turns out it's really the boss. I just heard Mr. Chen's report in the royal study, saying that the boss is here. I didn't expect it was really you. We haven't seen each other for many years."
Before Liang Zhirui arrived, he saw a master and a servant standing in the rainy sky from a distance.
The peacock blue cloak looked particularly conspicuous in this gray weather. Liang Zhirui had just been wondering who this person was.
He was old, and his eyesight was a bit bad. As he got closer, his heart sank, and he turned out to be Prince Jing.
Did you come too late? I hope it's not too late.
"Common people meet Prince Jing!"
Although it was still raining, proper etiquette was essential, and Liang Zhirui knelt down and prepared to kneel down.
When King Jing saw this, he quickly stepped forward to stop him.
"My lord, don't be too polite. Although you have become an official, you have always been the person I admire the most."
Prince Jing's gentle tone sounded above Liang Zhirui's head, and Liang Zhirui stood up following Prince Jing's gesture.
Judging from Prince Jing's strength, he really didn't want to kneel down, Liang Zhirui felt.
In fact, this is normal. This is outside the Imperial Study Room. Even the emperor values the old man very much. He has retained his dignity after serving for many years and can enter the palace at any time to meet the emperor. Prince Jing does not dare to take Qiao.
If he made Liang Zhirui kneel down today and the news reached his father's ears, he would definitely arouse his disgust again.
Prince Jing helped Liang Zhirui up, but felt a little regretful in his heart.
If he had known that Liang Zhirui could still enter the palace and meet the Holy Spirit and win the favor of the Holy Spirit, he should have won over Liang Zhirui earlier.
As long as Liang Zhirui is optimistic about him, not to mention Gu Chengyu, the legitimate daughter of Zhenguo Palace, still has to listen to the teacher's opinion?
What a pity. If he had known that Liang Zhirui still had such influence, he would have had more contact with Liang Zhirui and gain the other party's favor.
"I haven't seen you for many years. Your Majesty has passed your prime years. I still remember you as a young boy back then! You should have been about the same age as my young disciple Jin Yu at that time!"
Liang Zhirui smiled, then remembered something, "Oh! He should have been older than Jin Yu at that time."
Looking at the person in front of him, Liang Zhirui seemed to be recalling what happened back then, and Liang Zhirui was filled with emotion.
"Yes! After so many years, your body and bones are still as strong as ever."
Prince Jing let go of his hand. Although he was complaining in his heart, he still had a smile on his face.
What does Liang Zhirui mean? He probably knows that he wants to marry his granddaughter, but he is roundabout saying that he is old?
So what is the purpose of Liang Zhirui coming here today? Liang Zhirui must have heard about the things he asked Ke to publicize before.
Now that he was looking for him, Prince Jing would not think that Liang Zhirui was very satisfied with him. Maybe his visit to his father was related to his marriage. Prince Jing suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
"How can I compare with the past when I'm old?" Liang Zhirui laughed.
"Your Majesty! I'm here to see the Emperor, so I'd like to excuse myself first so as not to keep the Emperor waiting."
"That's fine! Then let the King of Japan act as a host and invite the boss to reminisce about old friendships."
Naturally, Prince Jing would not stop him. He only said a nice word as a farewell. In fact, Prince Jing did plan to do something. After all, he was Miss Yao's grandfather and Gu Chengyu's teacher. It would not hurt him to make good friends with him.
After the two of them finished speaking, they said goodbye.
After Liang Zhirui waited for Prince Jing to go away, he turned around and glanced at Prince Jing. He was very worried, fearing that it would be too late.
"The common man Liang Zhirui respectfully wishes His Majesty's peace!"
Liang Zhirui knelt down respectfully, but he didn't expect that the emperor would come to him in person and help him up.
"Sir, don't pay attention to these false etiquette!"
The emperor looked carefully at Liang Zhirui's face and found that his hair was already full of white. He couldn't help but sigh, everyone was getting old.
"The etiquette cannot be discarded. The emperor is the most powerful person in the world. How can ordinary people be arrogant?" Naturally, the emperor could only listen to his polite words, but Liang Zhirui did not dare to overdo it.
"After all these years, your temper is still so stubborn." The emperor pretended to meet his old friend and was in a good mood.
Prince Jing got on the carriage and returned to the mansion with a gloomy face.
Xiao Chengzi took off Prince Jing's cloak and persuaded him: "Your Majesty, why don't you change these clothes? They are already stained with moisture, so be careful of getting cold."
Prince Jing nodded and listened as Xiao Chengzi turned around and ordered outside to bring in the ginger soup prepared in the kitchen.
After changing his clothes and drinking a full bowl of ginger soup, Prince Jing felt that his internal organs were getting hot.
The ginger soup dispelled the chill in his body and temporarily dispelled the gloom in his heart.
Prince Jing then sat down and carefully thought about Liang Zhirui's meeting with the Holy Spirit.
Liang Zhirui has not gone to see his father for so many years, and it has been a long time since he returned to the capital. It is self-evident why he wants to meet the emperor today.
At the same time, he thought that Gu Chengyu had not agreed to his solicitation, so Liang Zhirui would definitely be of the same mind as Gu Chengyu.
