morning thoughts

Ji Yu pursed his lips slightly, raised his brows and eyes, and arched his bow again: "It turned out to be His Highness the Third Highness. I couldn't see His Highness a few days ago when I was ill. Please forgive me."

When Ling Chao just saw Ji Yu, he felt that he was a little alienated, and when he talked with him, his eyes warmed up again, and suddenly he felt that the cold wind blowing by his ears was not so annoying, but rather warm.

Ji Yu looked at the little Highness whose earlobes turned red even after speaking, and felt a little cute, so he raised the corners of his mouth and chuckled.

Ling Chao felt that his earlobe was getting hotter and hotter, so he subconsciously raised his hand to touch it, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty is not in good health, you need to take care of yourself. Huajing is no better than Li Chuan, and you need to pay extra attention."

Ji Yu looked at Ling Chao's tense look, and couldn't help but pursed his lips and laughed: "Your Highness is absolutely right, I must pay attention to it, but when His Highness came out, there was no one with him?"

Ling Chao was dumbfounded, and he didn't know how to explain it. Naturally, everyone in the palace knew that he was a prince in name only. Without the protection of his mother, his father would treat him as nothing. Naturally, people who followed such a palace would not devote themselves to doing things.

Rather than not having a loyal servant by his side, it would be neater to be alone.

But these well-known things, for some reason, Ling Chao didn't want Ji Yu to know, his heart moved, and he panicked: "Father is in a hurry to ask about homework, so I won't accompany you."

Ji Yu nodded and took two steps back, and only looked away after the person left, squinting at Fu Hai.

"Your Majesty, do you want your servant to inquire about it?"

Ji Yu smiled lightly: "Forget it, we don't always ask more about other people's affairs."

When we returned to Shizi Mansion, it was almost dinner time, Fu Hai fetched water for Ji Yu to wipe off, and taking advantage of this spare time, the clever maid in the daytime came to untie Ji Yu's coat, Jiao Didi said: "My son, if Eunuch Fu Hai is not here, let the servants serve you."

Ji Yu lowered his eyes and looked at the person in front of him. This maid was dressed very gorgeously, and her appearance was also considered pretty. She had an aura that was not coquettish but could make people feel pity.When he spoke, he still kept his eyes rolling, and there was a faint expectation hidden in the bright eyes.

Ji Yu smiled lightly, raised his hand to stop the maidservant's movement and asked, "What's your name?"

The maid paused, lowered her head shyly and replied: "My son, servant Rong Hua."

"You came from Lichuan?" Ji Yu said softly, and continued to ask: "If you have such a face in the palace, it will definitely impress people. Why haven't I seen you before?"

Rong Hua was a little carried away, he knew his own appearance best, although it was called outstanding, but it was nothing in front of the prince, such an appearance was unmatched by women.Especially when Shizi is staring at him so affectionately, the person who is haunted by dreams is in front of him, Rong Hua secretly tightened his hands and called out "Shizi..."

"En?" Ji Yu's ending sounded frivolous, seeming to be a response or a question, a smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and he leaned two points closer.

"When I was in Lichuan, the servants served the second son." You can know these things after a little inquiring, Rong Hua can only tell the truth: "But the servants are all serving outside, not close personal people."

As soon as Rong Hua's words fell, her face flushed unnaturally, but if she didn't say these words quickly, she was afraid that Ji Yu would misunderstand that she belonged to the Second Young Master.

Fu Hai, who came in after fetching water, happened to see this scene, the end of his eyes twitched, he couldn't help but look at Rong Hua, and said with a suppressed smile, "Your Majesty, Wan Shan is all ready, do you want to pass it on now? "

Ji Yu nodded, took the handkerchief that Fuhai handed over, wiped his hands, changed into normal clothes, went to the table and sat down.

Usually, Fu Hai served him personally, and Rong Hua couldn't find an opportunity to get close to Ji Yu. Now that he had the opportunity but missed it in vain, he couldn't help complaining to Fu Hai in his heart, but on the surface he still bowed to Ji Yu with respect.

Just as he was about to exit, he was stopped again.

"Fu Hai, send someone to send Miss Rong Hua back to the Second Young Master tomorrow, and I will talk to my father."

"My son..."

Before Rong Hua finished speaking, he closed his mouth resentfully.

Everyone in the manor knew that the son was a gentle and kind person, and he would rarely get angry with the servants, but this time there was a chill on that handsome face.

Fu Hai glanced at Rong Hua, and persuaded: "The prince loves Miss Rong, Lichuan's water and soil support people, and Miss Rong should thank the prince."

"Slave, thank you son."

At night, when Ji Yu wrote a letter to King Annan, he wrote a few words: "Yu is lonely in Beijing alone. Fortunately, my elder brother is sympathetic to temporarily relieve the troubles. Please forgive me brother."

The next day, Fu Hai sent the letter and Rong Hua out of the Prince's Mansion together. When Li Chuan came from Huajing, he was tossing and tossing, and when he returned, he had to pay back. Rong Hua wanted to ask Fu Hai several times, but in the end he couldn't say anything. exit.

"The prince didn't need to inform the prince to deal with a servant girl, but now that he has disturbed the prince, I'm afraid the second son will hold grudges again."

Ji Yu pursed his lower lip and smiled imperceptibly: "This person was sent by Ji Jingyang. If I just deal with it, he will find other opportunities to send new people. Only when the father knows about it can he tell them to rest." Don't you think so?"

Ji Jingyang deliberately chose such a woman with outstanding looks, hoping that one day Ji Yu would make a mistake on a business trip, and the days in Huajing are long, and the days of loneliness and helplessness are always the easiest to be moved.

It's just that Ji Yu knew his father too well, even if he was an abandoned son, he would not allow himself to do anything outrageous.Ji Jingyang will definitely be punished for this matter, and reciprocity is only fair.

Fu Hai looked at Ji Yu and sighed faintly. The prince seemed to be indifferent to everything, but he actually kept it in his heart, and he didn't let others go, but he didn't let himself go either.

Ji Yu pulled up the brocade quilt covering his body, lay lazily on the small couch, and whispered with some sleepiness: "You count all the money in the mansion today, and we will enter the palace tomorrow."

It is true that the treasury of the Jin Dynasty was tight, and it was true that Chuzhou was anxiously waiting for Yinshang, but these did not happen overnight. The emperor locked his eyes on King Annan, and it was just an opportunity to rip off.

How could King Annan fail to see that the emperor looted less money from Ji's house?Now that all the sons-in-law have come to Beijing as hostages, do you still want money?

Above the court hall, Ji Yu came to the front of the hall wearing a royal blue court dress. His handsome appearance made people's eyes light up. The eyes of the courtiers fell on Ji Yu. Wooden boxes are attractive.

Ji Yu lifted his clothes and knelt down on his knees: "I recently heard that Chuzhou was in a hurry, and I couldn't sleep at night after I went back. Your Majesty knows that I am weak and cannot serve the country like my father, but as a man, I have a full heart and soul." The blood is to repay the family and the country. Therefore, after the minister returned to the mansion, he ordered someone to count all the properties of the Annan Palace, and only kept one of the ten to spend the day, and dedicated the rest to the emperor. He also asked the emperor to give the minister this opportunity to show his loyalty. "

The emperor couldn't help but feel it was funny, after all, he was still too young to hold his breath, he just wanted Concubine Shu to hint, Ji Yu came to present the treasure in such a hurry, but he didn't know that the emperor didn't pay much attention to his little silver.

"Ayu..."

Ji Yu thought the emperor was going to say something, straightened his back slightly, and said gently: "The minister is here."

"Why do you do this? No matter how short of money the Great Jin is, you won't let you spend everything in the mansion. What's more, if you are alone in Huajing, if you really suffer, Wang Yuan of Annan in Lichuan will worry about you."

"This matter is all done in a hurry by the minister. Naturally, if the father knows about it, he will definitely think that the minister is not doing enough to solve your majesty's urgent needs."

The implication of Ji Yu's words is very obvious, outsiders don't know about the emperor's order to Concubine Shu, and Ji Yu brought the money here, which means he volunteered.If the emperor does not accept the urgent need for money at the moment, the speech officials are bound to discuss it.

But if the emperor accepted it, why would he put pressure on King Annan?You can't just rob someone's son's money, and then go to rob someone else's father.

After thinking about it for a while, the emperor sighed and thought to himself, it's not good to force people too much, keep Ji Yu's money, and let him out of the palace after another compliment.

The emperor personally ordered people to send Ji Yu to the gate of the palace before he left. Ji Yu got into the carriage and Fu Hai heaved a sigh of relief: "The son's move is too risky. If your majesty sees the son's thoughts, he will definitely be more careful in the future." of."

In the Great Jin Dynasty, the status of the legitimate son was always higher than that of the concubine.But this is not the case in Prince Annan's mansion. Now that the two concubine brothers have military merits and surpass him everywhere, he can bear it, but what about his mother and sister?

Now that he is in Huajing, it means that these things have to be taken care of by him. Just now he deliberately put on an urgent look in front of the emperor. what come.

After returning to the mansion, Ji Yu's expression was not good, and after ordering no one to disturb him, he went to the study. The servants in the mansion looked at Eunuch Fuhai carefully, and naturally they were even more careful.

He took out the portraits of his mother and sister from the pavilion, touched the canvas lightly with his fingers, and felt that he had no strength left in his body. He knew by heart early in the morning that being sent to Huajing would be like an abandoned child, but he did not complain , received the title of Prince Annan's son, and enjoyed the blessings for 17 years.

It's just... a little reconciled.

"My son," Fu Hai's voice sounded outside the door after two light knocks.

Ji Yu frowned: "Didn't you tell me not to disturb?"

"My lord, the palace sent someone to say that they want to see your lord."

It wasn't long before Ji Yu came out of the palace, and he really couldn't figure out why the palace sent people here at this time, if it was something important, he should be summoned when he was in the palace.

Ji Yu paused, and after a little hesitation, he said to Fu Hai, "Please invite me to the study."

The person who came was very strange, wearing a long robe and a hood to cover himself, and he couldn't see his face clearly. Fu Hai thought it was weird and couldn't help but look at him a little more. The latter lowered his head slightly, apparently not wanting others to see his appearance clearly , Fuhai retracted his eyes and walked around the screen before saying: "My lord, the man is here."

The man paused for a moment after entering the study, and was about to salute Ji Yu, when he called out "Senior Ji", he was helped up.

"You don't need to be too polite," Ji Yuxu supported his forearm, his eyes slightly lowered, and he had a clear look at the appearance under the hood.
