Chapter 151, His Highness is testing the concubine
Xie Jinyan did not let anyone announce when he came in. He walked very lightly, and the three people inside were chatting enthusiastically. They did not even notice that there was an extra person in the room. It was not until Xie Jinyan made a sound that the three of them suddenly came back to their senses.
Seeing Xie Jinyan, Yu Qingwu's eyelashes trembled slightly, but he was still calm. He glanced at him with some anxiety, as if deliberately reminding Yu Zhen and Ling'er, and hurriedly said politely, "I have met your highness."
"The common people pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a thousand years old." Compared to Yu Qingwu, Yu Zhen seemed panicked. He knelt down with a thud and shouted at Xie Jinyan.
Seeing him kneeling down, Ling'er hurriedly knelt beside him. Both of them lowered their heads, not daring to look at Xie Jinyan at all.
He was so frightened and timid, completely different from the one who just spoke nonsense.
Thinking of what he had just said, Yu Zhen felt scared and ashamed.
Especially the phrase "relatives of the emperor and the country", it doesn't matter in front of a clan girl like Qingwu who has known him since childhood, but in the ears of the real master, it seems that he is pretending to be powerful.
Thinking of this, Yu Zhen's palms began to sweat.
Xie Jinyan stood at the door and saw the changes in Yu Zhen's face.
A complicated look flashed across his brows, and soon the smile returned to his face. As he stepped forward to help Yu Qingwu, he said to them in a warm voice, "Everyone, get up."
As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned over and sat on the chair next to Yu Qingwu, glanced at the gauze on her forehead, and scolded her softly, "Senior sister, what's the matter with you? Didn't the imperial doctor tell you to stay in bed and rest?
?Why did you get up again?"
Xie Jinyan was so caring in front of Yu Zhen and Ling'er, which made Yu Qingwu feel a little too disgusting. In addition, what she said to Yu Zhen just now made Xie Jinyan listen. At this moment, she seemed unnatural and looked at Yu Zhen with a smile.
He glanced at Ling'er and replied to Xie Jinyan tenderly, "I'm bored lying in bed all day long, and I'm also very tired. I thought that brother Yu Zhen and Ling'er are also in the house anyway, so I called over to chat with him."
"Yes, yes, Your Highness, the daughter of the people looks at it. It's not a problem for Sister Qingwu to lie in bed like this all day long. A good person would be bored to death." At that time, Ling'er also spoke, she
The crisp voice is cheerful and exciting.
However, Yu Zhen's face did not look good.
Seeing Ling'er interrupt, he quickly turned her around.
Ling'er couldn't read his hint, so she immediately glared at him and complained unhappily, "Master, why did you abduct me?"
Yu Zhen was already worried, but when Ling'er asked him this question, he almost wanted to throw himself over on the spot.
After a pause, he simply scolded Ling'er and said, "Ling'er, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is talking to the Crown Princess, how can you interrupt?"
Hearing this, Ling'er showed displeasure and wanted to say on the spot that she and Yu Qingwu were still a family, and that she and Xie Jinyan were also a family.
But when the words came to his mouth, Yu Zhen's displeased eyes made him swallow them back.
Xie Jinyan saw that the atmosphere was really awkward, so he took the lead to break the deadlock. He looked magnanimous and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter, there are no outsiders here. Since you are relatives of Awu, there is no need to be restrained."
"That's right, you see, His Highness the Crown Prince is nothing." Seeing Xie Jinyan 'helping' her to speak, Ling'er immediately became proud again and even made faces at Yu Zhen.
Seeing her unscrupulous look, Yu Zhenxin almost jumped out of his skin, and Yu Qingwu also frowned slightly.
After thinking about it, she gave Yu Zhen a look and said, "Brother Yu Zhen, I suddenly remembered that I still have something to say with His Highness. You and Ling'er should go back first."
"Okay, then the common people will retire now." Upon hearing that Yu Qingwu was driving him away, Yu Zhen immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly pulled the bell to salute Xie Jinyan again.
Xie Jinyan still looked like a prince, gently nodded to Yu Zhen, smiled and said, "Okay, then Mr. Yu can rest for a while. If you need anything, just tell the housekeeper."
"Yes, yes, thank you, Your Highness, for taking care of me." Yu Zhen smiled apologetically and exited the Nuan Pavilion.
Ling'er seemed to want to say something, but was pulled away by Yu Zhen before she could speak.
Xie Jinyan stood beside Yu Qingwu, looking at the two people who were drifting away, and finally sat back beside Yu Qingwu, stretched out his hand to pull the blanket covering her legs, looked at the door again, and asked with a smile
She said, "Senior sister, do you think that the girl next to Young Master Yu Zhen looks very much like the same person?"
"Your Highness, do you want to say that she looks like Ah Yue?" Yu Qingwu raised his lips, took a deep look at the empty door, and sighed, "This girl Ling'er doesn't have so many bad thoughts, but she does have some bad thoughts now.
Wrong. I think it was because I became the Crown Princess, so she privately thought she had found a backer, and privately thought she might be able to take shortcuts from me for everything."
"I guess she just wanted to take the opportunity to ask Your Highness for an official position for my brother from the Yu Zhen clan."
His senior sister is smart after all.
Xie Jinyan smiled lightly, picked up the tea on the small table and took a sip, nodded and said, "The same is true for Gu Cai. In fact, when Gu sent Feng Yuan to take them to the Prince's Mansion, the girl hinted to Feng Yuan,
But Feng Yuan ignored it."
"But... your clan brother seems to be a promising talent. Although he is a bit timid and tactful, he is still capable and has a good character. I heard that he has a good business in Qingzhou.
It's not a small job. Logically speaking, he
There was no need to go through this muddy water, but after learning that you were going to sue the Shen family, he still followed Yu Qi to Kyoto. And even though he was embarrassed by the Jingzhao governor and beaten half to death, he still didn't
It means giving up.”
"Throughout the ages, only a handful of people's prosecutors have been able to withstand the torture to the end. Your clan brother was beaten that day and didn't even make a sound. It shows that although he looks timid, he is actually a tough guy."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never thought that maybe Brother Yu Zhen...is sure that I will help him just because he knew that I became the Crown Princess?"
"And you intend to take this opportunity to get attached to you?"
This is not Yu Qingwu's overthinking. Although there is nothing wrong with Yu Zhen wanting to seek a future for himself, you must know that the emperor's most taboo is the hegemony of his relatives.
Xie Jinyan himself was quite taboo about these things. If he were his elder brother, that would be fine. Now that he was a eunuch, he couldn't have any thoughts of rebellion, but it would be different if he was Yu Zhen.
Thinking of this, Yu Qingwu became even more uneasy. After thinking about it, he asked Xie Jinyan warmly, "Your Highness asked me what I mean by these words? Are you intending to use brother Yu Zhen? Or are you testing me for something?"
Test?
Um, she thinks he is doubting her by asking her those questions?
Do you suspect that she will secretly open a back door for Yu Zhen?
What on earth is this woman thinking?
Xie Jinyan leaned his head on the small table, suddenly moved closer to her, and said, "Senior sister, don't you think that Gu Sheng is afraid that you will secretly take a shortcut for Yu Zhen, buy or sell an official position or something?"
