humble minister

Chapter 3 Restaurant Discussion

With a sound of "哐", the door was pushed open by a force, and the people outside the door were menacing, and the two people inside the door hid their faces one after another.

"Senior brother, this is a trouble you caused, you have to take care of it~" Lian Ying did not forget to tease him, and it really made Shi Xiang feel bitter.

"Don't use this title to bury me!" The poor and romantic Prince Xiang actually started to cry at this moment, "It's not that you don't know how I am the opponent of that bastard—Jiang Bailang, and you still hope Brother Lian will make a move!" Help~" At this point, he also made a "respectful" bow to Lianying.

"Pull you down, now you know how to complain to Ah Ying, who told you to hide it from me earlier?" The tall and handsome young man outside the door stepped in, and the shopkeeper who followed couldn't stop him He smiled at the two people in the room.

Prince Xiang waved his hand, and the shopkeeper withdrew respectfully. This little old man didn't want to get involved in the matters between these big shots.

The visitor was dressed in a brocade suit, and he was dressed as a standard young man. He was very handsome and good-looking, but he was not flamboyant and playful like ordinary young men. He was very upright and heroic. I think he had a good tutor.

"I don't understand, Shi Xiang, Shi Xiang, good Lord Xiang, why did you hide such a thing as Ah Ying from me? The three of us have been friends since we were young. You come to see him and me." Why can't I see you? If I hadn't come with you, I wouldn't have known that Ah Ying had already gone to Beijing!" Then Jiang Bailang squeezed his ass between the two of them, and turned towards Lian Ying with a big smile.

"Ah Ying, I've missed you so much these past few years! Do you miss me?"

"Of course I thought about it." Lian Ying smiled shallowly, but from the bottom of his heart.

"Then why haven't you written to me in the past few years? The place where I live has not changed, but you are erratic, so I can't write to you~" The good-looking boy frowned and murmured. asked dissatisfied.

"It's true that I've been running around for the past few years, and I haven't had much time. I forgot to write to you, and I hope Xiao Langmo will blame me." Lian Ying hurriedly laughed.

"Tch, just pamper this brat, General Jiang pampers him enough on weekdays, no wonder this bastard has turned into what he is now, calling you by your name when he sees you, not cousin anymore. " Shi Xiang pouted, never forgetting to tease Jiang Bailang.

Hey, these two people really are Huanxi enemies.

"Hmph, you know how to smear me in front of Ah Ying, and you are not a good person yourself! Tell me, have you had few romantic affairs in recent years? I never report you to Ah Ying!" Jiang Bai Lang rolled his eyes at him, then turned to look at Lian Ying eagerly, "It's better to talk to Ah Ying. Ah Ying, tell me quickly, what exactly were you talking about just now?"

"Talk about something serious." Seeing his curiosity, Lian Ying couldn't help sighing, "You won't be interested after all, so don't ask."

"Heh, this stupid boy, he wouldn't understand even if he said it." Shi Xiang smiled mockingly, causing Jiang Bailang to punch him when he looked back.

"It's just that you always say that I'm stupid. Why am I so stupid? Even if you don't tell me, I can probably guess what you are talking about. It's nothing more than the situation in the court. I usually don't want to get involved in these things so I don't think about it." Yes, you really think I don’t understand anything? And I also know that Ah Ying’s return this time is mostly for my cousin’s marriage, am I right?”

"Yes, yes, Xiao Lang is the smartest~" Lian Ying hurriedly praised, this little ancestor was really well coaxed, but he really didn't expect that Jiang Bailang, who seemed careless and didn't care about anything, would also care about current affairs , it seems that the current situation is indeed very turbulent.It's no wonder, after all, it's been rumored recently that the dragon body of the Holy Master is not as good as before, and the undercurrent has also begun to surge.

"It's because of what I said that I didn't call you here, lest you get emotional and be biased against some of Ah Ying's words." Shi Xiang retorted lightly after taking a sip of tea.

"Sentimental?" I don't understand the combination of these four words Shi Xiang said.

"Let him speak for himself." Shi Xiang glanced at Jiang Bailang.

"Well, I just don't think my cousin should marry the prince." Jiang Bailang sat up straight at this time and said seriously, "Although the prince has a strong support like the emperor and many forces to help, these forces themselves are not very reliable, and The prince himself... At best, he is honest and honest, at worst, he is cowardly and has no opinion, how can such a person secure the throne? Hey, Shi Xiang, don't stare at me, I'm telling the truth."

Jiang Bailang turned back Shi Xiang's stare with a blank stare.

"No, on the contrary, I do agree with your statement at this time, but who else do you think can compete with the crown prince for the throne?"

"Of course it's Brother Shi Yu~" Jiang Bailang replied immediately, his eyes were shining.

"'Shi Yu...brother?' When did you have such a good relationship with the fifth younger brother?" Shi Xiang's face darkened immediately.

"Well, let me think about it, it seems that I have been unilaterally calling him brother, and we seem to have met a few times~" Jiang Bailang plucked his smooth and shiny black hair without any image, and then said excitedly "However, I really think that the fifth prince is hiding something, and he looks very powerful, so I think maybe the battle for the throne is not so easy. Therefore, I don't want my cousin to intervene so quickly."

"Hmph, I really didn't expect you to have such a high opinion of my fifth brother." Shi Xiang hummed lightly, expressing his displeasure.

"What do you say? That's your own business. I came back this time only for my sister's marriage. The rest has nothing to do with me. As long as my sister does not object to this marriage, I have no problem. As for the battle between the royal family, I am not interested. " Lian Ying still said with a smile, calm and composed, originally, he took care of his leisurely life, and let those who are keen on this way worry about these scrambles.

"Ah Ying, you are my uncle's son after all. Do you think you can really clean yourself up? Not many people know your existence now, so they haven't targeted you yet, but once your identity is exposed, no matter what You are the only son of the current prime minister, or the famous 'Mr. Tingyun', after all, no one will let you go."

What Jiang Bailang said is not unreasonable, it's just...his identity...

Oh, how will his identity be recognized?

Just as he was drooping his eyes and meditating, one hand was held, followed by Jiang Bailang's worried voice——

"Don't think I'm alarmist. I heard from my cousin before that my uncle seemed to intend to introduce you to everyone at the engagement banquet of my cousin. At that time, he also admitted your identity as the young master of the Duanmu family. At that time, your The situation... I'm afraid it's good or bad..." These words, coupled with the worried baby face, made Lian Ying warm and Shi Xiang smile very unkindly.

"You, you don't have to worry so much about Ah Ying. If he can't even handle these things, can he still become one of the four talented young masters? Just wait and see, Ah Ying must have a countermeasure, it's not sure. , when the time comes, he will come and leave, and go to live happily for a few more years. "

Hey, Shi Xiang, Shi Xiang, are you the roundworm in my stomach?How can you express my little thoughts so accurately, how embarrassing it is for me?

Jiang Bailang on the other side refused to follow him, and held on to Lian Ying's arm, "No, no, Ah Ying, don't go out anymore, your health is not good, if something happens outside, we will all be worried to death." Yes, you still don't want to go~"

Hey, you brat, can't you just hope for me?

The conversation between the three of them didn't last long, because soon the butler of Young Master Jiang's house came to the door.Helpless, Jiang Bailang was not afraid of anything, not even his father, but he was a little afraid, or he respected the old housekeeper, so he obediently went back.

Of course, before he left, he didn't forget to ask Lian Ying to remember to play with him, he really had the heart of a child.

"Jiang's family really cares about Xiao Lang!" Lian Ying sighed.

"It makes sense, after all, he is the only son of Jiangbeilou, and he was born to his beloved wife. The two of them can be regarded as old-fashioned, but they are not afraid of melting in their mouths, and afraid of breaking when they are held in their hands. Already?" Shi Xiang explained.

"That's true." Lian Ying nodded in agreement, "It's getting late, and it's time for me to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. You, just stay here and have fun."

Seeing that Lian Ying was about to get up and leave, Shi Xiang hurriedly followed, "Don't tell me, since you are all gone, why should I stay? Let's go, let's go together."

As he spoke, he stuffed a sign into Lian Ying's arms, "This is a passport to enter my palace. Come and see me when you have time. Even if I have a good relationship with you and Bai Lang in this current situation, it is impossible Feel free to come and visit, after all, this king should avoid suspicion, lest some people make a fuss about this matter."

Lian Ying frowned slightly, he understood what Shi Xiang hadn't finished saying, as expected, going to Beijing would be troublesome.

After leaving the restaurant, the two parted, and Lian Ying followed the route in his memory back to his "home" that he hadn't been back for a long time.

Along the way, the scenery of the capital was extremely bustling and bustling. The shops on both sides were booming, and the cries of vendors and buyers' bargaining were also heard endlessly.

Lian Ying hadn't taken two steps before he suddenly discovered a very embarrassing thing - the dignified Mr. Tingyun got lost on the way back to his home.

Well, it's not his fault...

Lian Ying rubbed his nose. After all, he hadn't been back for several years. It's not unusual for the layout of the capital to change. Besides, he hadn't been to Xilaiju much before, so it seemed that he couldn't recognize the way home when he came out of Xilaiju. Excuse me~

Forget it, let's find someone to ask the way.

I planned to ask someone for directions at random, but I never thought that I would be bumped into my chest by a little girl just as soon as I took a step out——

"Ouch, who doesn't have long eyes bumped into me...Miss Ben?!"

The delicate and domineering voice suddenly rang in his ears, and Lian Ying felt a tight pain in his chest. He really didn't expect a little girl to bump into someone to be so painful, or was it because his own bones were too weak?

But even when others are wrong, a gentleman still has to maintain his demeanor, especially if the other party is still a young princess~

Hey, he changed his words very quickly, but do you really think he didn't hear clearly?Even if she couldn't hear clearly and looked at this outfit, she knew she was a wealthy person, but she didn't know which one in the palace that cold face with a paralyzed face was behind her.

Thinking about it, Lian Ying hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, sorry, I didn't see the road clearly next time and bumped into Miss, is Miss okay?"

"Well, you are quite polite. Fortunately, you bumped into such a reasonable person as Miss Ben. If you were someone else, it would not be so easy to let you go. Be careful next time, remember!" Arrogant The pretty girl held her head up and put her hips on her hips, which couldn't be more reasonable.

Yes yes yes, what you always said is true.

Lian Ying continued to laugh bitterly, at this time the man following behind seemed to be getting impatient, and said coldly——

"Alright, Min Rong, it's time to go."
