Chapter 205 Gone (one more)
Although Yan Huisheng came late, but as the crown prince, as he stepped into Duke Cheng's mansion, Duke Cheng greeted him personally.
This is the treatment that the eldest prince and the second prince absolutely do not have. It belongs to the prince and is the only treatment.
Cheng Guogong accompanied Yan Huisheng into the mansion, and asked him with a smile, "Your Highness, why are you here today?"
Princes do not easily interact with courtiers in the open. As the seizure of power intensifies, they naturally hide their own trump cards. Usually, the older princes are not easy to participate in the banquets of various governments. And Crown Prince Yan Echo is extremely low-key, and will never set foot in it unless there are special circumstances.
Yan echoed and said warmly: "I heard that Second Young Master Ye has come to Daliang. Although he set foot in the capital of Daliang for private business and came to live in Cheng Guogong's mansion for a while, he is a member of Ye Xiang's mansion and a minister who is highly valued by the king of Nan Chu. After learning about it, the emperor attaches great importance to it. Especially today is the birthday of the young lady of Ye Xiang's mansion. Since he is in Cheng Guo's mansion and is entrusted by his father alone, he naturally wants to congratulate him. Wang and Ye are well."
Duke Cheng nodded repeatedly, "Guixue just came out of the inner courtyard not long ago, and was talking to His Highness the First Highness and the Second Highness." After finishing speaking, he looked at Yan Echo's expression, and added, "The First Highness and the Second Highness have just arrived."
The implication is that it didn't take long to speak, and you came quite early.
Yan replied with a light smile, "Let them talk first, Gu is not in a hurry, since Gu is here today, he will naturally have a banquet in the residence before leaving."
"This is naturally excellent." Cheng Guogong was very happy, "Please, Your Highness!"
The purpose of Yan Li and Yan Lin's visit to Cheng Guogong Mansion today is to see Ye Guixue. In fact, they have long wanted to see Ye Guixue, but after Ye Guixue came to Beijing, she kept a low profile. So, a few days ago, there was a post asking him to push it. Even when the emperor sent someone to tell him when he would rest and invite him to the palace to have a talk, he never went to the palace immediately to have an audience. He didn't show up until today, when Cheng Guogong's mansion celebrated his little niece's birthday.
Although Southern Chu is a vassal state, to Daliang, it has been a vassal state that has not paid tribute for more than 20 years. He has the arrogance that he will come and go if he is not recruited. What's more, he came for private affairs, not state affairs, so he is more free.
He didn't leave the mansion, so Yan Li and Yan Lin naturally rushed to Cheng Guogong's mansion to see him. Therefore, the two endured it for several days, and today was an opportunity, so they came before Yan Huisheng.
It was the first time for both of them to see Ye Guixue. Although they were not ugly, they also felt that they were contrasted a little in front of Ye Guixue. It was obvious when looking at the boudoir ladies who were blatantly looking at Ye Guixue in the distance.
Ye Guixue remained indifferent to all the sights cast on him.
Yan Li pretended to be friendly and joked, "Second Master Ye hasn't married a wife yet, right? In Southern Chu, is there no girl he likes? How about choosing one from our Daliang?"
Ye Guixue shook her head, "His Highness Lao is concerned, and I'm already married."
Yan Li was taken aback.
Yan Lin was also stunned, and asked strangely: "Didn't it mean that you are not married?"
"My father wrote to me today, and I have made an appointment for Guixue. After I return to Nanchu, my king will give me the marriage." Ye Guixue smiled lightly, like spring snow in March, everything melted.
Yan Li and Yan Lin looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes. Yan Li restrained his expression, and asked tentatively, "May I ask which noble daughter from the Southern Chu family?"
Ye Guixue smiled and said nothing.
Yan Li and Yan Lin looked at each other again, thinking that if Ye Guixue didn't say anything, they would have to send someone to investigate immediately. Ye Guixue didn't look good, so maybe he could start with his fiancée.
Xie Lin and Zhou Gu had just stepped into the living room when they heard what the three of them said. Xie Lin didn't think much about it, but Zhou Gu stopped abruptly. His gaze instantly fell on Ye Guixue's body, as if it was real.
Ye Guixue was very keen, turned her eyes to look at the door, and saw Zhou Gu dressed in brocade clothes, full of elegance, like the breeze and the moon, her eyes paused for a moment.
Zhou Gu suddenly turned around, turned around and walked out.
Xie Lin said "Oh?", "Zhou Gu, aren't you going in? Where are you going?"
Zhou Gu didn't turn his head back, "There are people I hate, I won't go in, I'm going back."
Xie Lin: "..."
The person he hates is the eldest prince, right? Or the second prince? It can't be the Second Young Master Ye from Southern Chu.
He was still very curious about Ye Guixue, so Zhou Gu went crazy and left, so he naturally wanted to go in, so he turned around, turned his foot, entered the living room, and clapped his hands to the people sitting there, "His Royal Highness, Second Highness, Fourth Highness, Fifth Highness, Seventh Highness...Second Young Master Ye!"
Xie Lin looked at Ye Guixue, and was also amazed at Ye Guixue's all-over temperament. He thought that he was worthy of Ye Guixue's family in Nanchu.
Xie Lin has always been good at speaking beautifully when dealing with people and not conflicting with interests. He is the best at calling people brothers and brothers when they meet. Therefore, he smiled and said: "Brother Ye, I did not invite you to a banquet in my house. Based on your exhaustion, it makes sense. Have you had enough rest now? I will invite you another day, so you can't shirk it."
Ye Guixue smiled lightly, "It's easy to say."
Xie Lin glanced around, "Huh?" He said, "Where's Brother Su?"
Someone asked: "Brother Xie, are you asking about Brother Su Xingze? He was called away by Brother Lu Fengyan. The two of them probably went to talk elsewhere."
Xie Lin suddenly realized, "Then I'll go find them."
To be honest, he didn't want to see the first prince and the second prince, nor did he want to get involved with them, so he turned around and left.
Yan Li and Yan Lin both lowered their faces at the same time, Xie Lin was stronger than Zhou Gu, and knew how to say hello to them. Since Zhou Gu served as a companion to the Prince of the Eastern Palace, he really regarded himself as a member of the Eastern Palace.
But unfortunately, the two of them couldn't do anything to him, they just hated him, thinking about the day when Zhou Gu would fall into their hands, and if they didn't skin him, neither of them had the surname Yan.
Zhou Gu walked out of Cheng Guogong's mansion, and happened to meet Cheng Guogong leading the crown prince Yan Huisheng into the mansion. He was depressed, and was bumped into by Cheng Guogong's mansion and Yan Huisheng.
Yan Hui stopped in his tracks, and called him warmly, "Zhou Gu."
Zhou Gu stopped abruptly, cupped his hands, bowed his head in salute, "His Royal Highness."
"Where are you going in a hurry?" Yan Hui asked.
Zhou Gu pursed his lips, "I'm not going anywhere, I plan to go back home."
Duke Cheng quickly asked: "The banquet will start soon, why didn't the fourth son leave after eating? You left in such a hurry, but there is something wrong with the reception in the mansion?"
"No, there is just an annoying person, I feel uncomfortable seeing it, and I don't want to stay anymore." Zhou Gu glanced at Cheng Guogong.
Cheng Guogong choked, and for a while, he seemed to not know how to speak. I can’t ask which one you hate, right? You don't need to guess, you know it's probably the eldest prince.
Compared with the second prince, he hates the eldest prince even more, this is well known. Of course, the second prince was shameless in front of him.
Yan echoed and nodded, "Then go back!"
Zhou Gu nodded, turned around and left, he walked quickly, he left the house in a blink of an eye, rode away on his horse, and galloped away with the sound of hooves.
Duke Cheng thought to himself, not only the old Huguogong, Princess Sheng'an, and the people in the Huguogong's mansion indulged Zhou Gu, but Crown Prince Yan Huisheng also indulged Zhou Gu very much. He was never restrained from doing superficial work, probably because of this, he developed his current temperament.
Duke Cheng accompanied Yan Huisheng to the living room, and when everyone saw the prince coming, they all got up to greet him. At this time, in front of people, although the first prince Yan Li and the second prince Yan Lin are elder brothers, they are very polite and respectful to the younger brother, the prince.
After some brotherly respect, everyone sat down.
Yan echoed and talked to Ye Guixue with a smile, "Second Master Ye, I have heard about your reputation for a long time, but seeing you today is really extraordinary. How is the King of Southern Chu? How is Ye Xiang?"
Ye Guixue also answered with a smile, "I've heard of His Royal Highness's virtuous name for a long time, and countless people have praised him highly. It's a great honor to meet you today. My king is safe, and so is my father. Please take care of Your Highness."
Yan echoed with a laugh: "It's the father who misses King Nanchu and Ye Xiang very much, and I also send my greetings on behalf of the father."
Ye Guixue said ashamedly: "When I came down to Beijing, I was exhausted by boats and cars, and I was not feeling well. That's why I couldn't enter the palace immediately to meet His Majesty Daliang. I entered the palace soon. My king is also very concerned about His Majesty Daliang's dragon body. When I left the capital, my king also explained that I asked my next generation to greet His Majesty Daliang face to face."
Yan echoed and nodded with a smile, "I heard that Master Ye can stay in the capital for a month?"
Ye Guixue nodded, "I have this plan, don't worry about my niece, and spend more time with her to get used to it."
The two of them spoke harmoniously. Although they spoke common words, the people who listened had different thoughts, especially Yan Li and Yan Lin. Or does the King of Southern Chu want to support Yan Huisheng? Can't stand them not thinking too much.
