Your Majesty will suffer

It was late at night, Nan Gongji was flipping through the book under the lamp, but he didn't know what he read, what appeared in his mind was all the things in the garden tonight, and the prince's annoyance!The second prince, Yue Zhi, usually looks respectful and courteous, but his words and deeds today are impressive. Although he is still young, it is inevitable that he will slip up, but this action does not seem to be unintentional.Thinking about it more carefully, the two of them are brothers and sisters, but they seldom interact with each other in private. Isn't it strange that the second prince is never seen during banquets in the East Palace?

Thinking of this, Nan Gongji couldn't help letting out a long sigh. Although it is not uncommon for ordinary people to have rifts between brothers, even if it is a family property dispute, it will only hurt a little bit of peace, and their wealth and life will always be safe; If siblings fight, it will cause disaster!Let’s say that Emperor Taizong of the former dynasty, although he was praised by the later generations as a master of the ages, he also killed a brother and a brother with his own hands!When ascending to the throne, under the seat of the Son of Heaven, all the corpses of relatives can be seen, groaning!Seeing the second prince, Yue Zhi, although he is young, he is very powerful, and he might endanger the reserve position in the future!

When Nan Gongji was worried about whether the crown prince could occupy the throne, he was also worried about himself: he is a foreign minister, and in the future, the prince brothers will fight against each other. If the second prince gains power, he is afraid of being punished!

There was a faint sound of drumming outside, and it was already the third watch.

Nan Gongji rubbed the center of his brows, and felt that the worries just now seemed unfounded: the second prince, Yue Zhi, is only twelve years old, no matter how smart and mature, what can he accomplish in a short while?Besides, he has no attachment to the outer dynasty, so how can he easily shake the East Palace?

only. . .After thinking about it for a while, I realized that something was wrong: Although the second prince is young, he is smart and clever, and he is quite popular; moreover, the prince's biological mother, Queen Zhang Huai, died early, and the mother of the second prince, Shen Zhaoyi, came from a famous family, so it is not impossible to be in the middle palace!At that time, the son is more expensive than the mother, and there will be people in the court who will instigate the abolition of the establishment!If this is the case, the prince will be in danger!

Nan Gongji himself didn't want this to happen, but the so-called world is unpredictable, everything has contingencies, so you should think more about it!

On the day after the Shangyuan Festival, there was no need to enter the palace to study, so Nan Gongji went to the market to pick out two new books, as he said before, and sent them to the palace and the crown prince tomorrow.After returning to the mansion, he learned that Yunxi had sent another invitation card, thinking that he would go out of the palace frequently, if outsiders found out, it would inevitably cause trouble, so he hesitated for a while!However, after hesitating, he couldn't bear to refuse, so he responded by replying.

In the afternoon, Nangongji still took the two children out, and went to Li's Hotel, placed the two attendants outside, then went inside to find a secluded pavilion, explained a few words to the shopkeeper, and then sat down to drink tea and wait.

After about a cup of tea time, distinguished guests arrived slowly.

When Yunxi saw it, he blamed: "You changed the banquet place without authorization, you thought it would be a good place to go, but it turned out to be such a secluded and noisy place, did you mean to play tricks on us?"

Nangong Ji sighed: "It is indeed intentional, but it is not a trick, it is just to avoid people's ears."

Yun Ze smiled and said, "I know you are cautious, but you won't..."

Nan Gongji interrupted him: "Do you know who I met last time at the Qingfeng Building where we had a drink together?"

The faces of both of them were frozen, and they hesitated: "Is it a courtier? Or... a palace man?"

Nangong Ji shook his head: "It's Zhang Yishan!"

The two were shocked, and they were speechless.

Sitting down and having a cup of tea, Yun Xi said: "Fortunately, we met him without teaching, otherwise..." Looking at Yun Ze who was sitting opposite him, "Right now you and I are probably thinking in Zongzheng Temple pass!"

Nangong Ji interjected: "That's exactly what I said! Therefore, although this place is simple, it's good to be able to avoid people."

Both said yes.

Yun Ze said: "It's just that fish and dragons are mixed here. If you want to gather often, it may be inconvenient."

Yunxi smiled and said: "In my opinion, there is no need to bother so much. Why don't we hold a banquet in your mansion from now on, how about it?"

Nan Gongji took a sip of tea before entering the mouth, he almost choked when he heard this, and said urgently: "How can this be, all the people in my mansion are sent by the palace, let alone..." At this point, seeing the two of them playful , Fang Zhi is a joke.

Yunxi clapped his palms and said: "You are such a smart person, but sometimes you are confused! A joke made you panic to this point?!"

Nan Gongji said: "I am a foreign minister, and I have a personal relationship with my clan. If you are impeached by Taiwan's admonition, you will at most be reduced to a noble and fined a salary. However, I am afraid that I will offend my family and disrupt the situation! How dare you be careless?"

Yunxi sighed: "That's true! You have a special status, so you should be cautious; but the two of us are not complacent. Our patriarchal law is strict, and we are trapped in the palace all day long. It is not as good as you, and we can still go out. Swim away!"

As the three of them sighed, the food and wine were gradually served.The three of them started pushing cups and changing cups, and there was a lot of noise.

When the banquet reached Shenshi, Nan Gongji was afraid that it would be inappropriate for the two of them to return late, so he urged the banquet to end.The two of them still had something to say, but they procrastinated again and again.

Nan Gongji persuaded: "When you come back late or the palace is worried and suspicious, it's better to disperse first, let's get together next time."

Yun Ze said: "It's rare to come out of the palace once, but you have to hide in such a secluded and narrow place to have a banquet. You are already holding your breath, but you still have to urge the banquet to end early. Isn't it boring?!"

Nan Gongji smiled and said: "In the future, we will find a better place. It is more spacious than this place, and it can avoid people. It doesn't matter if we get together often at that time."

Yunxi laughed and said: "In that case, it's better to dispose of an idle house in a secluded place. It's convenient to come and go in and out on weekdays."

Nan Gongji didn't know whether to laugh or sigh when he heard the words: Seeing that he said this casually, he didn't know that Bianjing is expensive, and a mansion costs at least tens of thousands of guan, so why is he waiting for such spare money? !

On the other hand, Yun Ze understood the world situation and said: "I heard that the house outside is very expensive, and our money is under the control of the family. It's okay to take a hundred and ten guan occasionally, but it will be difficult if there are more."

Nangongji was about to say yes, but unexpectedly he said again: "If you want to buy an outhouse, only the three of us may not be enough. In my opinion, a few more people are needed to contribute. It is the companion reading this in the palace. For a few people, Xi Yan is fine, he is young and not in charge, and his situation is not as good as ours, but Yun Ning is fine. After the death of the fourth emperor's uncle, he is already the head of the first palace by name, although most of the internal affairs are left to his aunt management, but the cost is more generous than ours."

Nangong Ji felt that it was ridiculous, but he knew that the two of them were already drunk, so he simply followed his words and said, "Although that is the case, it may be worse if we gather the strength of the four of us, I think it is better to teach the prince to come out too One copy, after buying a house, I also invite the prince to come and get together frequently, and if something goes wrong in this matter, the superior will definitely let the prince take care of him."

Before the words were finished, Yunxi hurriedly said "no"!

Nangong Ji laughed and said, "How do you know if you haven't tried it before? This matter just won't work. Thinking about the past, the prince will not be punished."

Yunxi said: "That's not what he meant, it's just that, Prince..." Although he was a little drunk, he was not muddled, and his words were measured.

It's just that Yunze has been drunk for seven or eight minutes, and his nature is straight. At this time, he can't see other people's attitudes, so he said: "You have been in the palace for a long time, can't you still not see that the prince usually lives in seclusion, studies hard and restrains himself. It's self-inflicted!"

Yunxi immediately changed color and said: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Yun Ze said: "There are no outsiders here, and everyone with discerning eyes knows this, it is not a secret! At the beginning, Li Jizhong's incident implicated the East Palace and the empress, and the heart of heaven was shaken. If the empress hadn't won the holy family at that time, I'm afraid... the prince is now It's like walking on thin ice, always in danger!"

Nangongji was surprised when he heard the words.

Yunxi interrupted at the right time: "Forget it, everything that should be said and what should not be said has been said, so let's break up!"

Although Shangyuan has passed at this time, the first month has not yet come out after all, and the aftertaste of festivals is still lingering everywhere.Nan Gongji walked around the city at will, feeling very melancholy: I thought it would be beneficial to study with Donggong, but today I found out that it is actually a dangerous thing!The future of the East Palace is uncertain, and he waits for his relatives casually, and he doesn't know the fate, so why not make people worry?And Cai Yunze's words just now made him full of doubts, that "involvement in the affairs of Empress Guo and the prince" is extraordinary!And since he said that this matter is not a secret, Zhang Lingqi must know a thing or two, and he should ask him carefully when he goes back.

After the Shangyuan Festival, Zishantang was reopened, and there was a decree: The second prince, Yue Zhi, was grown up, intelligent, hardworking and fond of learning, so he was granted the title of Marquis of Yuzhang, and moved to Zishantang to study with him, hoping to become a master!

In the first month of February, it rained and rained for a few days, but the weather did not warm up. It was the time when the cold spring was expected.

It has been more than half a month since the second prince Yue was implanted in Zishan Hall, and he still behaves politely on weekdays, he is completely different from Shang Yuanye!However, the prince's thoughts seemed to be getting heavier, Chen Ri was frowning, Nan Gongji, Yunxi, and Yunze knew the reasons for this, and it was unavoidable that they were unfair, so they always kept a little distance from the second prince, and when they saw each other, they only greeted each other lightly , There are few pleasantries.Only because Xiyan is similar in age to the second prince, he still has something to say.Fortunately, the second prince has a lonely and introverted personality, usually he is reticent and doesn't make good friends with others, so even if those few people deliberately distance themselves, others will not be able to see the clue for a while.
