The pride of heaven

"Ci, loving mother loser?" Qi Mingjue was anxious, saying he was a loving mother, but he was a man, and saying he was a loser, but he was thinking about the child, so young, it made people feel distressed, "Where is the loser? I'm just saying that the child is still young, so why not practice martial arts when he is a little older? It's not that he is not allowed to practice martial arts. Why did he hurt Shu'er?"

Du Zhong and An Gui listened to the voice in the study, looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

The two masters in the study may be deeply involved without knowing it, but Du Zhong and An Gui, who are outside the door, can see it clearly as close servants. The two people in the room are getting closer and more comfortable, just like now, the master They are very much like the parents who are arguing over the education of their children.

"Shu'er is the best age to start learning martial arts," Li Junran put away his smile and said, "He is the grandson of the emperor, and he will inherit the great line in the future, and because of this, Shu'er is a thorn in the side of those who have ulterior motives." A thorn in the flesh, even a hundred secrets will be neglected, even if we watch over it day and night, there is no guarantee that there will be a momentary neglect, and people will find opportunities..."

Hearing the words, Qi Mingjue was like enlightenment, and the nectar poured out of his heart: "Even if Shu'er doesn't like martial arts, let him have the power to protect himself. I was negligent, and my momentary soft-heartedness almost hurt Shu'er."

In this power struggle, if you want to survive, you must have the power to protect yourself. Others can protect you for a while, but you can't protect them forever. Qi Mingjue has a deep understanding of this, and Li Wangshu, as the eldest grandson of the emperor, was born in the vortex of this struggle In the middle, there is no way to avoid it.

Li Wangshu, who had been waiting for his father for a long time, did not expect to be disappointed. This was his last hope, and now it was shattered. He did not expect that even his father could not get his father back. After that, Li Wangshu could only obediently get up early to practice martial arts Fortunately, Lei Que was with him, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to survive, these are things for later, let's not mention them for now.

The backyard of the East Palace, the Pavilion of Appreciation

Li Junran: "Jue'er, try this."

Qi Mingjue picked up the gaiwan, wiped off the tea foam with the tea lid, took a sip, narrowed his eyes and smiled, "The green mountain picks up the tip of the hair, and the bottom of the pond draws the clear spring. It looks like snow and plums scattered in the world. Bitan is soaked in mountain springs. Piaoxue is elegant and moderate, mellow and delicious, it really is a good tea."

A smile appeared on Li Junran's face: "It's not in vain to get Jue'er's praise."

"Huh?" Qi Mingjue snorted suspiciously.

Li Junran did not shy away from asking for credit: "I know that Jue'er likes to drink tea, so I ordered someone to start preparing it before the big wedding."

"That's right, then I really want to thank Your Highness for your love." Qi Mingjue said calmly on his face, but his heart was full of ups and downs, and his heart was bumping like a deer. Li Junran had already turned the still water in Qi Mingjue's heart upside down.

"This tea is made from the fine and tender green tea buds before the dawn." Li Junran raised his brows lightly, and said as if offering a treasure, "When the cloudy girl picks the pure and tender jasmine buds in the afternoon on a sunny day in Futian, the The two are mixed and scented carefully, so that the fragrance of tea and flowers blend together and complement each other."

Qi Mingjue said with a half-smile: "Your Highness really took great pains, Jue'er is ashamed."

"You deserve it, you deserve it," Li Junran stretched out his hand to caress the back of Qi Mingjue's hand, "Jue'er is the most lonely and worrying person in the world."

Qi Mingjue glanced at Li Junran's beaming face. This person is really glib, but his heart is like eating honey, sweet.

Du Zhong glanced at the masters drinking tea and chatting in the pavilion, and sighed. He didn't want to disturb the masters' pleasure, but the crown prince ordered to report the results as soon as they were available. Your Royal Highness, the messenger has found out."

Li Junran said coldly: "Say."

Du Zhong raised his head and looked at his master, there was no change on his face, he couldn't see any joy or anger. One must know that his master's most taboo is to have people who eat inside and out, so he is very strict with the servants of the mansion, especially the servants of Dongyuan. It was carefully selected by him, and now that this incident happened, he would not be able to get away with it in any way. He replied nervously to his master: "The one who sent the news was a little eunuch who cleaned the garden, his name is Shunzi."

Qi Mingjue is ice-snow smart. Hearing Li Wangshu's words that day, he suspected that Yan's going to Dongyuan to meet Shu'er was intentional. It's just that although they didn't hide it intentionally, they were careful not to attract attention. He had already avoided everyone in Xiyuan. In case there was no reason to come to Dongyuan early in the morning, I wanted to confirm my guess, so I asked directly: "Did the person behind the scenes find out?"

"Returning to Your Highness, according to Shunzi's confession, it is the peach red next to Concubine Yan." Du Zhong knew how important the Crown Princess was in the eyes of his own prince, so he naturally knew everything and said everything: "Shunzi is from Jingcheng. His younger brother in Jingcheng's hometown had a dispute with someone, so he acted impulsively, and accidentally beat the man to death, and suffered a life lawsuit. Money matters."

Hearing this, Li Junran casually said: "I heard that the concubine of the Yan family married the magistrate of Jingcheng as his successor."

Du Zhong: "Master, that's exactly the case, and because of this relationship, Shunzi was manipulated by Concubine Yan and kept sending messages to Xiyuan. Fortunately, he is just a handyman, and he can't enter the main hall, otherwise there will be consequences." It's unbelievable."

"Your Highness really knows every detail, and even knows the marriage of the concubine's younger sister of the inner house family. This palace really admires me."

Hearing Qi Mingjue's playful words, Li Junran took Qi Mingjue's hand with a smile on his face and said, "I don't care enough about Jue'er. I don't have time to take care of those trivial matters. I just happen to know."

Qi Mingjue just said these words casually, at the moment he didn't have the time to respond to Li Junran's jokes at all, the guess in his mind was confirmed, and all the knots were untied in this way, there is no doubt that Yan Ruyu was behind the scenes.However, Yan Ruyu is the daughter of Yan Kun, Minister of the Ministry of War, and it is not yet the time to mobilize the Minister of the Ministry of War, but this matter cannot be tolerated, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

Seeing Qi Mingjue who was still thinking and ignoring him, Li Junran flashed an unclear smile on his face.

"Let everyone wait in the main hall." Li Junran's cold voice was like ice piercing into the bones, causing the servants around him to tremble slightly, and he turned around to look at Qi Mingjue again, using that gentle voice like gentle wind and sweet rain Said: "The matter of the inner house is up to Jue'er."

An Gui glanced at her prince, thinking that this clear-cut attitude is really not like her prince's usual style, her prince has always been determined, his emotions and anger are invisible, and it is the same with those empresses in Xiyuan. She never pretended to be false, but now she treats the Crown Princess completely differently, so it is possible that she has been sincerely moved...

An Gui shook his head, no way... He was taken aback by his own thoughts, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. This is actually very good. Qi Mingjue is a good master, gentle and modest, and never hit him at will. Scolding and looking down on these servants, he is serving this master sincerely.

Qi Mingjue was figuring out the intention of Li Junran's previous words. He could think of Li Junran's surprise, and entrusting this matter to him was just to see how he would deal with it. It's easy for servants to say, but this Yan family still needs to think about it. .
