Be a man today too!

Hearing this sentence, Ji Rongchen almost thought that there was something wrong with his ears, otherwise how could he hear the word "sister-in-law", he could hardly close his jaw, and looked at his elder brother in astonishment, but at this moment he realized that The eldest brother, who has always been expressionless, actually showed a smile at this moment, and it didn't look like he was joking at all, but he was very serious.

But what did Ji Rongchen think, and he didn't understand how the Prince of Xiangbei became his sister-in-law in just one month?

After Ji Lingfeng said this, he looked at his third brother like a torch to see how he would react. Sure enough, the third brother showed an unbelievable look, as if he couldn't accept this fact.

This, Ji Lingfeng can also understand, after all, it's hard not to fall in love with a young man's charm and methods... Isn't he also fascinated by him?

Thinking of this, Ji Lingfeng's eyes dimmed even more. He had to find a way to marry the boy quickly, otherwise, in yesterday's situation, he wouldn't have to restrain himself so hard, and he wouldn't have to restrain himself like that now. In such a situation, I feel unhappy and feel uneasy.

At this moment, Ji Rongchen's mind suddenly had a flash of light. He also noticed the meaning in his elder brother's smile that could not be ignored. Could it be that there is some reason for this decision made by elder brother?That's right, how can the words of the eldest brother be so simple, there must be a deeper meaning in it.

Ji Rongchen turned all kinds of thoughts in an instant. First, he remembered that the king of Xiangbei was indeed a bit troublesome. His father also thought of countless ways but he was still unable to deal with him. When the eldest brother succeeded to the throne, this problem would naturally fall to the eldest brother At this time, the eldest brother made this decision, could it be that he had planned to start with the prince of Xiangbei first?

This is of course a possibility, and another possibility is that the eldest brother could form an alliance with the son of the Prince of Xiangbei. After all, the son should also understand that it is impossible for him to go back. After the crown princess, at least life and death can be guaranteed. For the elder brother, maybe he can get what he wants, such as a bargaining chip for succession.

Of course, it makes sense for these two to exist at the same time. Thinking of this, Ji Rongchen couldn't help but feel complicated. On the one hand, he admired his elder brother for being so far-sighted. It's hard work!

In fact, Ji Rongchen knew very early on that his elder brother was actually like him, and had no idea about the throne at all, because he was born as the eldest son, after being named the prince, he had to set an example for the princes, and everything was perfect, but In fact, all of this is just for the expectation of the queen mother, as well as my own reliance... After all, everyone knows the truth of success and failure, and it is difficult for a prince who cannot ascend the throne to end well.

And in the past ten years, the eldest brother has also become a character of neither sadness nor joy. Everyone thinks he is cold and indifferent, but Ji Rongchen knows that the eldest brother has paid too much for this family. up!

So at this moment, Ji Rongchen's heart can't help being shaken, and he also feels uncomfortable in his heart. Sometimes he also feels that he is very selfish, only thinking about doing his own things, becoming a rich and idle person, wandering around the world, anyway, there is a big brother who protects him... …

And how could Ji Lingfeng, who looked at the third brother like this, not know the reason?

At this time, Ji Lingfeng narrowed his eyes and slammed down another heavy hammer. He continued: "However, it is really difficult for me to marry him. I have to find a way. What do you think, third brother?"

Hearing this sentence, Ji Rongchen couldn't help nodding his head. Indeed, it is very difficult to get married as two people. First, he has to convince his father and mother. You should work hard!

Thinking of this, Ji Rongchen began to ponder.

Seeing that the third brother has completely accepted the facts, Ji Lingfeng couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. It seems that the marriage is just around the corner.

……

And since the banquet passed that day, Chi Yuan bought

The mansion has changed from its usual empty appearance, and people often send greeting cards or invitations.

Chi Yuan took a look, and found that they were all Beijing officials with low official positions and ranks. He probably informed the emperor's intentions from his superiors, and also knew that he could only stay in the capital from now on, but he wanted more preferential treatment. Inquired about some news, so they sent various people to get close to him one after another.

Chi Yuan took all the gifts one by one, and returned the gifts one by one, but he treated them all equally and didn't see any of them.

At first, he knew very well that his status was still very special. The emperor just gave him a little face for some reason that day, but if he had frequent contacts with these ministers, it would be difficult to get away if he seized the excuse in the future.

Secondly, Chi Yuan also knows what information they want to inquire from him, but now that he has made a secret agreement with the prince, let alone not revealing a word, of course it is best to keep a distance from some people from other camps good.

After a week, these posts disappeared. At first, Chi Yuan didn't think there was anything wrong. After all, he didn't see any of them, which is normal. However, when talking about this, Fulan hesitated Yes, it seems that there is something hard to say.

Chi Yuan was practicing calligraphy, so he couldn't help looking over it with some doubts, and Fu Lan finally made up his mind to say: "In the past few days, there is a rumor in the capital that is getting stronger and stronger."

Oh?

When Chi Yuan heard this sentence, he was a little curious, and at the same time his heart skipped a beat. It seemed that it had something to do with him.

Fulan took a sneak look at the prince's face, and then continued: "Some people say that the relationship between the master and the prince is very close in private."

Hearing this, Chi Yuan was also a little surprised. Could it be that the alliance between himself and the prince was known?I didn't tell anyone about this matter, and even in front of Gu Beiqing, he only said some of his own plans.

Seeing that the crown prince was still so calm, as if he didn't notice anything wrong, Fulan also felt that the crown prince didn't understand what she was talking about at all, so Fulan blushed and gritted her teeth: "Those people said, you and the crown prince have been together for a month. We met in the capital before, and we have long been in love with each other!"

Hearing this, although Chi Yuan was startled by these four words, he didn't feel too surprised, because he also knew that someone slandered and spread rumors about him just now, but starting from this kind of thing, he can also guess the instigator.

After all, there are not many people who have enemies with him and the prince at the same time, and there is only one person who knows that they met a month ago.

However, spreading rumors is very nerve-wracking, so we have to figure it out quickly. Chi Yuan immediately asked people to inquire about these rumors first, so as to discuss how to deal with them.

At the same time, Wang Heng was also overjoyed. He didn't expect that the distance he spread for a few days would intensify. In a blink of an eye, many people in the entire capital knew about it. I'm afraid that in a few days, no one would know about it. I don't know, at this time Wang Heng has already entered the palace and chatted with his sister for a while, mainly waiting for the second prince who is going to court, and the two continue to plan what to do next.

Since the three princes were allowed to go to court a few days ago, they also have the power to participate in and discuss state affairs. Not only that, the emperor also gave everyone some positions. Of course, the power of the prince is much greater, and the second prince only got one It's just a civil job, but it doesn't matter, the second prince didn't lose too much, didn't he win a chance now?

At this time, Ji Jingchen had just come down from the morning court, and his complexion was not so happy. During the morning court just now, he did not expect Ji Lingfeng to be so capable. I got him a good errand, and the attitude of those ministers became more and more unclear.

Just when Ji Jingchen was thinking, the palace servants came to report that his uncle Wang Heng had entered the palace.

Hearing this news, Ji Jingchen felt much better. A few days ago, Wang Heng said that rumors about the two people were spreading in the past. At that time, Ji Jingchen thought it was unreliable. After all, who would think that these two people have any improper relationship? ?

But he didn't expect it to be quite effective. Today he noticed that several ministers were staring at Ji Lingfeng's back and whispering something, which turned out to be related to this.

And after hearing Wang Heng talk about the results of the past few days, Ji Jingchen's eyes lit up, he never thought that such a big storm would be caused!

Now is a good time to find an opportunity to tell Father Huang about this matter, how great it would be to give him that errand!

Think about it, the crown prince is hooked up with the son of the king of Xiangbei. You must know that the king of Xiangbei is like a tiger squatting next to the throne. But the prince actually had an affair with the son of King Xiangbei, the father might be furious and shocked!

Then add oil and vinegar to the side and fan the flames, isn't it inevitable that Ji Lingfeng will fall out of favor?

Ji Jingchen thought about it, and felt that it was not good to talk about it in the court, and it would give Ji Lingfeng a chance to defend himself. It would be better to talk to his father in private, and he could also bring Wang Heng with him. After all, Wang Heng is a real witness. !In this way, the emperor couldn't help but not believe it.

Of course, I want to go too. Even if he doesn't show up, Father knows that he has something to do with it, but as long as he tells the truth about this matter, then Father will not have any grudges against him because of this kind of thing. , so Ji Jingchen wasn't worried.

After making up his mind, there was no need to delay the matter, Ji Jingchen simply chose today, and later he and Wang Heng went to his father to explain the situation, and he discussed with Wang Heng first, and prepared the draft.

In the afternoon, Ji Jingchen and Wang Heng went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, because Ji Shengfang usually spends the afternoon reading books in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

After arriving, he found out the whereabouts of his father from the palace servants who served him, but what made Ji Jingchen a little dissatisfied was that Ji Rongchen was also here.

Ji Rongchen is hated by others, and Ji Jingchen is also a little worried that the other party will sabotage his plan, but after thinking about it, he thinks that Ji Rongchen should not know about it, after all, it only took a few days for the rumor to spread. .

After thinking it over, Ji Rongchen asked the palace servants to report to his father, saying that he and Wang Heng had something to report, and after a while, Ji Shengfang announced the two to go in.
