Chapter 777 Snitching(1/2)
The fourth prince carried Gu Jian back to the front yard of the temple.
Dongli was shocked when he saw it. First, he thought Gu Jian was sick or injured, and second, because Gu Jian's identity could not be exposed.
Dong Li stepped forward quickly and took Gu Jian from the fourth prince. Seeing that Gu Jian's expression was normal and there was nothing unusual, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Fourth Prince!"
Daohua salutes and thanks the fourth prince.
The fourth prince shook his head and turned to leave without saying anything.
Prince Ping and the eldest prince did not follow. On the way, Prince Ping knew that the abbot had finished meditating and immediately went to the abbot's courtyard.
Without Prince Ping, the eldest princes were naturally too lazy to save face and left without caring about the fourth prince.
The fourth prince, on the other hand, still insisted on bringing Gu Jian back.
"The fourth prince carried me on my back all the way. I'm tired now. Let's have a cup of medicinal tea before we go." Gu Jian suddenly said.
Daohua glanced at her master, smiled, and stepped forward to pour a cup of medicinal tea for the fourth prince.
The fourth prince looked at Gu Jian. He was not tired, but he was a little hot after coming back from the mountain. Looking at the medicinal tea on the table, he felt that he was indeed thirsty, so he sat down calmly, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
The tea has a slight medicinal taste, but not too much. It is a bit bitter, but acceptable.
After tasting it, the fourth prince raised his head and drank the tea. After finishing the drink, he stood up and said goodbye: "Brother, the elder brother and the others must be waiting impatiently, so I will leave first."
After saying that, he turned around and left without even saluting.
As a prince, he was able to insist on carrying the person back for the sake of Prince Ping and Xiao Yeyang. If he were to be polite any more, it would be a bit of a self-deprecation.
After everyone had gone away, Daohua stepped forward and told Gu Jian about the fourth prince's ear disease.
Gu Jian sighed and said nothing.
The palace is a place where power struggles are fiercest. People in it, even if they don't fight for it, will be involved in various things.
As a prince, fights are inevitable.
Daohua said happily: "Fortunately, Xiao Yeyang has not been living in the capital."
Gu Jian glanced at his apprentice, with a smile in his eyes: "Yes, Yeyang is indeed lucky."
No matter how smart a person is, he must have a suitable environment to help him grow.
If you experienced betrayal and too many calculations as a child, even if you are capable when you grow up, you will still be lacking in your heart.
Lack of love, lack of trust.
If such people cannot redeem themselves, they may end up alone for the rest of their lives.
Yeyang was indeed lucky enough to leave the capital, meet his apprentice, have a few friends, and meet him and his sister. Their company finally made up for some of the lack of family affection in his heart.
Afterwards, fearing that they would meet other people again, Daohua and Gu Jian did not stay in the temple for long. After resting for a while, they left in a carriage.
Before leaving, Daohua left a letter to Prince Ping, inviting him to be a guest at Four Seasons Villa.
After Prince Ping returned from the abbot with a full load, he heard that Daohua and the others had left, and he felt a little unhappy. However, after hearing Daohua specifically leaving a message asking him to visit Four Seasons Villa, the unhappiness disappeared.
"Let's go to Four Seasons Villa!"
"The fruits and vegetables at the Four Seasons Fruit and Vegetable Shop are hard to buy. Today I am going to have a good meal."
......
Four Seasons Villa.
When Daohua heard Zhuangtou coming to report that Prince Ping had arrived, she immediately looked at Gu Jian with a smile: "Master, I'll go and greet you."
Gu Jian said "hmm" expressionlessly, and after his apprentice left, a smile appeared on his face.
He had no feelings for the princes, but it was different for Xiao Jiu, who delivered the baby himself and was remembered by his sister all his life.
Prince Ping was walking in the Four Seasons Villa, and he didn't have much reaction when he saw the crops and vegetables growing vigorously in the fields. But when he saw the flower fields planted with various flowers, he immediately ran over like an arrow from a string.
Seeing Prince Ping flying like a bee in the flower field and seeing his desire for flowers, Daohua said at the right time: "Your Majesty, everything in this village is now under the control of my master."
If you want, please please my master.
Daohua showed these words almost unabashedly on her face.
When Prince Ping saw it, the corner of his mouth twitched. He felt that his future daughter-in-law really had no eyesight. Thinking of the old man's unsmiling face, he felt guilty for no reason.
However, Prince Ping quickly regained his composure. He was a prince and Yan Yatou's future father-in-law. In order for Yan Yatou to have an easier time in the palace in the future, the old man should treat him well.
Thinking of this, Prince Ping suddenly became calm and relaxed.
Daohua looked at Prince Ping who looked like a proud peacock again, and shook his head invisibly, realizing that it would not be long before he became a defeated rooster.
After leading Prince Ping to Gu Jian's yard and handing him over to his master, Daohua went to the kitchen in person.
When her future father-in-law comes to visit her for the first time, she should treat him well.
......
At the end of the day, Prince Ping left the Four Seasons Villa with a bad expression. His expression did not improve until he entered the city.
Wynn looked at his master carefully and asked hesitantly: "Master, what has the county master done to displease you?"
Prince Ping snorted: "Yan Yatou is okay, it's her master. That old man is really ignorant. I wanted a few pots of ink chrysanthemums, but he refused without mercy. I'm really angry to death."
”
Wynn: "How about you talk to the county leader in private?"
Prince Ping's eyes lit up, and then he shook his head: "Girl Yan is very obedient to her master, I'm afraid she won't agree." After saying that, he opened the car curtain and looked outside, thought for a moment, and said, "Go to the palace."
Half an hour later, Prince Ping strode to Qianqing Palace.
The emperor had just finished handling political affairs and was practicing calligraphy to relax. When he saw Prince Ping coming over, he glanced at the wall clock next to him and asked with a smile: "You are entering the palace at this time, but you want to enjoy my dinner here?"
Prince Ping smiled and shook his head: "I don't think so, brother. I went to Yan Yatou's Four Seasons Villa today and had a full meal there, and I'm not hungry at all now. Brother Huang, you can save yourself a dinner." ”
The emperor's writing hand paused and he raised his eyes to look at Prince Ping: "Have you gone to Four Seasons Villa?"
Prince Ping smiled and nodded: "It was a coincidence. I went to the royal temple today to find the abbot, and happened to meet Yan Yatou and his master, so she invited me to be a guest at Four Seasons Villa."
As he spoke, he looked at the emperor.
"Brother Emperor, do you know Yan Yatou's master?"
The emperor nodded, thought about it, and said, "The old man saw a doctor for me."
When Prince Ping heard that the emperor did know Gu Jian, he immediately became excited and said, "Brother, is that old man so disrespectful in front of you?"
Hearing Prince Ping call Gu Jian 'old man', the emperor's face darkened: "Speak carefully, you are not an old man, you should call me old man."
Prince Ping showed reluctance: "But he was very rude to my younger brother." After saying that, without waiting for the emperor to ask, he quickly complained about Gu Jian.
Of course, he, who has always been sensitive to crises, wisely replaced the old man with an old man.
"Brother Imperial, as soon as the old man saw my younger brother, he said that my younger brother was sick!"
"It became even more hateful after that, and he wanted my younger brother to carry him on his back."
"Fortunately, Ye Heng and others arrived in time, and finally Ye Zhen carried him back to the front yard."
"My younger brother loves the flowers and plants in Four Seasons Villa very much, but the old man is reluctant to give even one of them. He is so stingy!"
"Brother Emperor, you haven't seen that the old man really doesn't pay much attention to the prince, my younger brother."
The emperor looked at his younger brother, who was getting more and more depressed as he talked, and thought to himself, even to him, the emperor, his uncle didn't say what he wanted to say.
Thinking of the recent news from Dongli, the emperor thought for a while and said: "The more capable a person is, the more temper he has. Can't the old man take care of your body? In this case, you should go to the Four Seasons more often in the future. Villa."
He is busy with political affairs, and when he goes out of the palace, he will easily attract other people's attention, so he can't visit his uncle often. So, let Xiao Jiu spend more time with the old man.
If my uncle has something to do, he won't miss his mother anymore.
Prince Ping nodded: "The old man's medical skills are indeed good. After I received a few injections from him, my body is indeed much lighter."
The emperor continued to smile and said: "Didn't Yan Yatou say that the things in Zhuangzi are under the control of the old man? Then you get along well with the old man. When he is happy, you can take whatever you want."
Prince Ping showed doubts on his face: "Brother Emperor, I think the old man is very embarrassed and talkative."
The emperor retorted: "The most important thing in getting along with people is sincerity. When you go to Four Seasons Villa, don't act like a prince anymore. Treat him like your elders. He will definitely do it."
I was moved by you."
Prince Ping stared: "Treat him as an elder? Is this too much praise for him? I am the prince!"
The emperor rolled his eyes. He was still the emperor, so he had to be humble in front of his uncle.
"If you still want flowers, just put down your airs. The old man is very soft-hearted. You want to make him happy. Your body is in good condition and you have flowers. Why not do it?"
Prince Ping immediately hesitated.
What the imperial brother said makes sense. Prince Ping became more and more excited when he thought of the colorful flowers in Four Seasons Villa.
The emperor watched Prince Ping's expression change, and the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily.
Xiaojiu loves flowers as much as her life, so if you don’t believe him, you won’t take the bait.
Afterwards, the emperor invited Prince Ping to admire his new calligraphy. Prince Ping shamelessly asked for an authentic copy of the calligrapher and left quickly.
