"Second prince, Qingling, are you there? If you are here, please let me know. I have something to discuss with you. "
It was Ruan Tianming's voice, and they both recognized it. Ruan Qingling is a little strange. Why does elder brother know that she is here and that the second prince is also here? Long Zexu is relaxed. He knows what Ruan Tianming is. He doesn't pay attention to Ruan Tianming at all.
Ruan Tianming still has a handle in his hand. Naturally, he can't jump out of his hand.
Seeing that there was no movement in the rockery, Ruan Tianming murmured in a low voice: "well, I just saw them coming here, didn't I hear them?" Uneasily, he raised his voice a little and called their names again.
Long Zexu rolled his eyes and saw a stupid one, but he didn't see a stupid one. He had to walk out of the rockery and stand in front of Ruan Tianming. He glared at Ruan and scolded him in a low voice: "you fool, do you want to attract some people to watch the fun?"
Seeing long Zexu coming out, Ruan Tianming quickly stops his voice, calls the second prince, and then smiles like a dogleg.
Ruan Qingling also followed long Zexu and came out. Seeing her elder brother's slave smile, she was very disdainful. Just like her brother, she still wants to compare with Ruan Tianqi. It's not that she wants to destroy her own prestige.
"Brother, why are you here?" In private, Ruan Qingling and Ruan Tianling are still big brother Ruan Tianming, and Ruan Tianqi is their little base.
Ruan Tianming didn't get along well with long Zexu, so he turned his head to squeeze his sister's eyebrows and face“ I'm looking for you everywhere. I just saw you coming here, so I came here to have a look. "
Ruan Tianming motioned Ruan Qingling to help him say two good words in front of long Zexu. Ruan Qingling glared at him, but he still took the initiative to take long Zexu's arm, and then pleaded for Ruan Tianming: "cousin, I don't think my brother did it on purpose, so you don't have a common understanding with him, OK?"
Long Zexu didn't mean to be angry with Ruan Tianming, but he thought he was too stupid. Seeing Ruan Qingling plead for mercy, he thinks that he didn't get the duck this time, but he will always have a chance to keep it. So that he can hum to Ruan Tianming, but he doesn't really get angry.
"Didn't you just say you wanted to see me for something important, did you?" Long Zexu spoke haughtily.
Ruan Tianming looked around warily. This rockery is in the center of Pingnan Houfu. No matter which courtyard you go to, you may pass by it. So it's not a good place to get used to conversation.
So he suggested to long Zexu, "it's not suitable here. Why don't you go to my yard?"
Long Zexu is just violent, but he's not stupid. After scanning around, he finds that it's very easy for Tibetans to be around here. He's really not suitable for conversation. So he followed Ruan Tianming to his yard without any objection, and Ruan Qingling also went with him.
As soon as Ruan Tianming returned to the courtyard, he told no one to come in and disturb him. Then he took long Zexu and Ruan Qingling to the study.
"Second prince, I want to make a deal with you." As soon as the guest of honor sat down, Ruan Tianming went straight to the point and explained his purpose.
When long Zexu heard the word "buying and selling", there was a faint light in his eyes. He was a little more alert when he looked at Ruan Tianming.
"I don't know what chips you have to let me do business with you." It's not that long Zexu doesn't like Ruan Tianming, but Ruan Tianming is really useless. No one in the whole capital knows that the young master of Pingnan Marquis's residence is proficient in eating, drinking and playing, but he knows nothing about astronomy and geography.
Such a person, if not born in Pingnan Houfu, I'm afraid he will have to wait for death.
Ruan Tianming's eyes show resentment when he is looked down upon by long Zexu, but he soon converges. When he looked at long Zexu again, there was only flattery and calculation.
"Now there is no crown prince in the emperor. Among the several grown-up princes, the second prince is not the most outstanding in terms of birth or ability. Therefore, I think you should need the support of Pingnan Houfu. "
"But your old Marquis is an old fox. He doesn't want to support any prince. What's more, you don't seem to have the qualification to represent the Pingnan marquis to do business with me."
Today, the old Marquis Ruan Zhanlin is still in power, and the nominal Marquis Ruan Juan. If you put it in front of you, you can still say that Ruan Tianming is the chosen son of the world, but now because of Ruan Tianqi's return, Ruan Tianming's chances of winning are not so great.
He doesn't care about Pingnan Houfu, but it doesn't mean he doesn't know about Pingnan Houfu. It's really not so easy for Ruan Tianming to make a deal with him.
Ruan Tianming was not worried when he was punctured by long Zexu. He just followed long Zexu's words and said, "that's right! I'm not qualified to represent the Marquis of Pingnan, but what if I become the son of the Marquis of Pingnan? I'm the eldest son of Houfu, and I should inherit the position of son of the world! "
"A month ago, you said this to me, I may not hesitate to believe you, but now the eldest son of Houfu is not you, it's Ruan Tianqi! He is superior to you in terms of birth and age. "
Long Zexu looks at Ruan Tianming coldly, and is extremely unhappy with his practice of not seeing the situation clearly. The original legitimate son has more respect than the stepson. Besides, the family itself is better than him.
"What if Ruan Tianqi is not in this world? I'll make my request clear. As long as the second prince helps me get rid of Ruan Tianqi and become the son of the Marquis of Pingnan, I'll protect the Marquis of Pingnan for you and it will become a sharp sword in your hand. "
This is the real purpose of Ruan Tianming. Without Ruan Tianqi, he is still the eldest son in Pingnan Marquis's house, and no one can easily surpass his position. At that time, he asked his mother to give his father a blow in the ear, so that his father could go straight to the fold and ask for the seal. With the help of concubine Liu, the son of the world could not be captured.
This is Ruan Tianming's wishful thinking, but the premise of all this is Ruan Tianqi's absence. For Ruan Tianqi to disappear in this world, the second prince is undoubtedly the most suitable person.
Ruan Tianming then waited for long Zexu's answer, but long Zexu just looked at him quietly, and did not say yes or no.
Ruan Tianming pulled Ruan Qingling, and the brother and sister murmured.
"Brother, what are you doing! Ruan Tianqi is not easy to deal with. Have you forgotten what we ate in their husband and wife's hands? "
Ruan Qingling is afraid of Ruan Tianqi, and now he has sequelae. Seeing that his eldest brother wanted the second prince to help him kill Ruan Tianqi, he was a little silly.
Ruan Tianming was also afraid of Ruan Tianqi, but he didn't have any help. He believed that Ruan Tianqi would not survive if the second prince was willing to help him.
"Qingling, I want to be the son of the world. You should know that once Ruan Tianqi is allowed to be the son of the world, there will be no place for our brothers and sisters to stay in Pingnan Houfu. Only if I am the prince of the Marquis's mansion in Pingnan, can you marry into the second prince's mansion, become a side imperial concubine, and become a crown princess and queen in the future, do you understand? "
Ruan Tianming looks at Ruan Qingling excitedly, and Ruan Qingling takes a look at long Zexu not far away and thinks over Ruan's words carefully. She doesn't want to marry Zhao Yuandan or any other low status man. In her opinion, her cousin long Zexu is very suitable for her.
