"The Emperor won't come here so easily. "Right now …"
Just as the emperor left the empress dowager's palace, she summoned Ming Ruyi to enter.
Ming Ruyi kept his usual disapproval and impatience as he asked, "Imperial Mother, are you afraid that Imperial Brother doesn't know what you're doing?"
Her Majesty now had only one son. The Emperor sat for only a short time, drinking only a few cups of tea and talking like a normal mother and son, but the implication of his words was that he was beating them on the head.
"Ru Yi, you … Now, I might as well think about it and quickly choose a prince. " The empress dowager could clearly see that the crown prince was currently mediocre. The Prince Cheng, Prince Yong and Prince Yu all possessed outstanding abilities.
"Imperial Mother, this matter is not to be discussed. This son will be leaving the capital soon, so mother, please take care! "
This foolish child, the Emperor had always been wary of him. How could he pretend as if nothing had happened! Her Majesty was anxious. She clutched at the chair, unable to speak.
Ming Ruyi's heart was in extreme pain. He too did not want to be closer to his mother. However, those high ranking figures had always been eyeing them covetously. Unless, he really did have the time to stand under the sunlight and not have any more worries.
"I'm sorry, Imperial Mother!"
He turned and left, preparing to leave the capital. Only in this way could the Queen Mother be preserved.
After the Zhongzhou King left the palace, the empress dowager found a trusted eunuch and sent a letter back to her home in Linan City, asking for an outstanding woman to be picked out and sent over to the capital.
She thought about it, and then decided to take a fancy to the Prince Yu. She felt that Zhongli Mingye was more reliable than the current Prince Cheng. Prince Yong Zhong Li Mingxi was of humble birth, so he was not a good partner. The other princes were still young.
The empress dowager had always wanted to help his son obtain a better future. Now that the Emperor had made his move, he would definitely attack Ming Ruyi. She had to choose the right person to help them.
Zhongli Mingye, whom she had been keeping in mind, was currently in the carriage with a new errand boy. The errand boy had delicate features. From time to time, he would glance out of the window.
"The last time I came, it was raining cats and dogs. The weather is fine now, but it's too hot …"
The errand boy did not care about the Prince Yu at all, and the guards outside the carriage were not surprised at all. From time to time, he was also attracted by the laughter in the car.
Micui was muttering in her heart how she would serve this new master.
Yesterday, the Prince Yu had pointed her out to Soong Jinyu, but Xing Jian and Qing Feng were both surprised. Although Micui liked the Miss Soong, she had always been Zhongli Mingye's most trusted female official.
"She's always clumsy and she likes to mess with people. If you follow, This King will be at ease. "
Upon hearing the "clumsy and infuriated" evaluation, the little errand boy Soong Jinyu was instantly enraged, "It has always been something that provokes me, how could I ever provoke trouble!"
They wanted to laugh, but did not dare. Micui knew what the King was thinking, and so she followed Soong Jinyu obediently.
"Heh …" "I don't want your people …"
Was he trying to monitor them?
Ignoring that pitiful and helpless look in her eyes, Micui laughed: "Your Highness, you have come to protect you …"
Soong Jinyu was extremely worried for Heeyi, she had not wanted to go to the capital at all. But Heeyi should be very sad at the moment. Even if she went, she might not be able to solve Heeyi's predicament, but it would be good if it could make her happy.
"Sigh …"
How long has it been since he returned from the capital? The last time he almost lost his life, he was really afraid of the capital.
"What are you sighing for?"
Zhongli Mingye stroked her head lovingly, dressing up like a errand boy made him a little unaccustomed to it.
"I wonder how is Heeyi doing?" If not for Heeyi, she would not have gone to the capital.
Giving her a peeled melon seed, Zhongli Mingye said: "Everyone has their own destiny."
"Heeyi is a princess of the imperial family, she was born with this mission."
Soong Jinyu was unhappy, she thought that although Heeyi was so innocent, he had to take on a mission much earlier.
Seeing that she was unhappy, he pulled her hand and said: "Maybe, Heeyi likes that prince."
"She had no choice but to like it even if she didn't like it, didn't she?"
Was this meant to speak of Heeyi, or him? Zhongli Mingye released her hand, his gaze drifting about. Was he Soong Jinyu's helpless choice?
No matter what, she couldn't escape.
However, Zhongli Mingye was worried about another matter. That was, the matter of the Mansion of Duanan King marrying the Prince Cheng, everyone with a discerning eye saw through the scheme behind it.
How could the Crown Prince tolerate this marriage? He looked at the girl in front of his. No matter what, these matters had nothing to do with her.
After Zhongli Shuoyi left the palace, he specially went to the east palace. Looking up at the exquisite decorations that matched the palaces, a boundless yearning surged in his heart.
"Your Highness, you wish to pay your respects to Prince?"
The eunuch interrupted his train of thoughts, "No …"
Duan'an King's family had just arrived at the capital and was currently staying in the mansion. He was going to be married to Princess Duanya, and countless people in the court were watching the marriage.
The relationship between the crown prince and Mansion of Grand Preceptor had been very stiff recently, Mansion of Grand Preceptor had always suspected that the crown prince was the perpetrator behind the murder of his master, and because of the Mansion of Grand Preceptor's rumors, the crown prince had gradually lost trust. This gave him a lot of opportunities, and now the Royal Father relied on him more and more.
The moment Mansion of Duanan King's marriage was completed, his plans would be precisely set in motion. Ji Qinglin had sent him the account of the Ministry of Revenue a few days ago. Thinking of this, a calculating look flashed across his chubby face. Under the scorching sun, his clothes were soaked with sweat. His body was somewhat fat, unable to withstand the high temperature.
Wiping away his sweat, he left. He wanted to go to the side courtyard to see Yu Duanya.
When the news of the Prince Cheng passing through the East Palace entered the ears of the crown prince, he disdained it: Is this little brother a demon?
"Miss, the wangfei asked if you wanted to go out for a walk?" Yu Duanya was drawing a landscape painting, and upon hearing maidservant's voice, she raised her head and said, "There's still time for the wedding, there's no need to rush."
Prince Cheng did not allow anyone to report, he slowly walked closer to Yu Duanya and discovered that she was a very talented woman, laughing: "Princess, so elegant!"
He had been disturbed, and his displeasure was suppressed. After greeting Prince Cheng, he was helped to his feet. "You and I are unmarried, there's no need to be so courteous."
Prince Cheng Zhongli Shuoyi suddenly remembered a rumor he heard about Yu Duanya and Zhongli Mingye. He pretended to be heartless and said, "After our wedding, Fourth Brother's wedding will soon happen."
Yu Duanya was unhappy, but she asked: Which family's young miss?
"Her identity is not as good as yours, but she was also requested by Fourth Brother. She's the Miss Soong who diagnosed your illness in the Liuzhou City." As he said that, he looked at Yu Duanya's face.
It really was her!
