Chapter 29 Advice

Seeing that Jun finished drinking the medicine, Ah Ying reported back and forth that Yuan Lu couldn't wait and had already left.

Yuan Lu was used to following his whims, but Jian Jun didn't care at first.But it suddenly occurred to him that when he was arguing with the cabinet, Yuan Lu was playing the piano and flute in harmony with the concubine Ci, and they had a perfect understanding.Even Miu Chi said "Have a good chat".Can't help but feel a little stuffy.

He has always been the best at reading people's eyes, and he knows that Yu Ci is already a little unhappy, if he acts like a baby again now, I'm afraid he will offend her.I had no choice but to swallow my thoughts and change the subject to talk to her about something else.

Since he was a child, he didn't love his father or mother, and he was used to making compromises.When following Concubine Shu, she often got up before dawn to write, kneeling and sitting in front of the improvised chopping board to write for several hours.In the twelfth lunar month of winter, when the ink was opened, it froze into a block. He was shivering from the cold, but he still held the cold inkstone in his hand and breathed out to melt the ink.Sometimes he was so hungry that he was dizzy, but he wanted to pretend that he was absorbed in writing without realizing it.I did so much just so that when she saw his writing at night, she would touch his head with a smile and say, "It's a bit out of shape."

If he really wants to please others, he can really endure all kinds of hardships.

But maybe it's because Yuci gave him too much warmth. When facing Yuci, if he is wronged, his heart will always be a hundred times more sad than before.

In fact, he also really wanted to play the piano and the flute with Yu Ci, and understand each other... But his fingers were spoiled a lot when they were young, and they were already rough and clumsy.Only when you hold the pen can you sway freely.He couldn't handle those delicate and delicate musical instruments well.

He is not as mature as Yuanlu, not as tall, not as handsome, not as elegant, and not as early as he met Yuci... Even such a small thing is compared.No matter how you look at it, Yuanlu and Yuci are more suitable.

——While Jian Jun was sad, he couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

After talking to Yu Ci for a while, he was afraid that he couldn't help thinking about it any more, so he turned over and pretended to fall asleep.

But he was still young after all, and he didn't know how to hide his eyes, so he couldn't hide his little thoughts from Miu Ci.

It was still early and it was time for lunch. Afraid that he would really fall asleep, Yu Ci shook him and asked, "What do you want for lunch?"

Jian Jun pulled the quilt over his head, and replied sullenly: "Anything is fine."

Yu Ci wanted to pull him away, but he held on tightly.Although he is not very old, but his hands are strong enough, Mi Ci couldn't pull him, so she could only coax him: "What do you want to eat, I will cook it for you myself."

Seeing Junjing for a while, turning his head like a caterpillar wriggling in the quilt, he opened a small hole, revealing half of his face, with long eyelashes flickering, and asked: "Really?"

Yu Ci felt her heart tremble, and couldn't help poking his face again, and said, "Don't lie."

Jian Jun thought for a while, but couldn't help but said again: "...I didn't drink the soup made by the queen."

Yu Ci rubbed her forehead, wanting to hit the wall very much.

She doubted that Jian Jun could use this matter to control her for the rest of her life.

Illness went away like snags.

Jian Jun lay down for ten or so days before gradually getting better.In the past ten days, except for Yuan Lu, none of the vassal kings in the capital thought of going to see him.

While indulging in the gentleness and wealth of the capital, they come and go to make friends with dignitaries and celebrities.Only Yuan Lu thanked the guests behind closed doors. Apart from staying at home with Princess Shou, he went to the palace to visit Jianjun or hang out.

He has the best reputation and the richest background, even though he is innocent and alone, there are still some people who take the initiative to curry favor with him.Every day, many people post posts and come to visit, not only courtiers, but also scholars.

His status is sensitive, so he naturally declined all the courtiers, but he couldn't always give face to the scribes - but this kind of thing would be endless after the beginning.In addition, Princess Shou Wang didn't like the capital either, so she urged him to leave several times.Therefore, he has been hesitating for the past few days whether to go back to the feudal kingdom.

——He actually understands that he is the last person who should not stay in the capital for a long time.The reason why he procrastinated and refused to leave was only because of that one person.

Even if he couldn't wish for it, it's not so easy to let go of the person he has recognized since childhood, the person who made him wait patiently for ten years, the person who should belong to him.

Yuan Lu was not the only one who struggled during this period, there was another who hesitated far away in Luoyang.

——The Taifu lives in Luoyang, but these days are not idle.Although he has become an official, he has never returned to his hometown, and he is rather wait-and-see.In addition, half of the court officials are from his family, and there is a granddaughter who is the queen, so the family is still the biggest wealthy family in the dynasty, and no one dares to underestimate him.

Those vassal kings have returned to Beijing, and he is naturally the first one to make friends with.

——Taifu does have a wait-and-see attitude, but it's not because he can't let go of the wealth and power in the past, but because he can't worry about Jianjun in Bianjing Palace City.The first emperor entrusted Gu to him, but he was entangled by the government every day, and he never taught Jianjun well.I thought that the future would be long, but I didn't think that Jian Jun got tired of him early.In order to be guaranteed at the end of the festival, he had no choice but to resign, but he felt somewhat in his heart that he had betrayed the trust of the late emperor.Therefore, he stayed in Xijing, only hoping that in case of any unforeseen difficulties, his old bones could shield Jianjun from the wind and rain.

It's a pity that Jian Jun is not even willing to inform him about what he is doing now, let alone ask him for advice.

When he was in charge of the government, the princes of the previous empire were not allowed to return to Beijing to express their condolences.But he didn't want to see Junyi in charge, so he first transferred them back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, and then let them do activities in Bianjing.

——Others are just like rats and moths, even if they want to, they can't make any waves.Yuanlu was different. When he was seven or eight years old, the first emperor brought him to summon courtiers. Everyone knew that he was the prospective prince.If there is any movement on his side, it must be an earth-shaking change.

Fortunately, Yuanlu was indifferent and had no desire for power.But there is no guarantee that no one will use him to make a fuss.

So Tai Tu was really worried.

He was hesitant to weigh whether to write a letter to Yuanlu or to write a letter to Doctor Yushi.He knew very well that when the letter was sent, Jian Jun either suspected that he had a personal relationship with the vassal, or suspected that he was manipulating the officials-he had never raised a child himself, so he didn't understand why Jian Jun aimed at him.But he has insight into people's hearts and knows that Jianjun's resentment towards him cannot be transferred in a short time.

But he couldn't let it go.

Just at this time, his wife came back from Bianjing with the rewards of Jianjun and Yuci.

The letter that Taifu wrote to Yuci was from the servant at home to Jianjun.

Private communications between the harem and the outer dynasty were not allowed, and naturally neither was correspondence.

But the Taifu claimed to be old and sick, and could not bear the hardships of trekking, so he could not enter the palace to meet the queen in person.But he still misses his granddaughter in his heart, so writing a letter to her is natural and beyond reproach.

Having said that, when Jianjun received the letter in his hand, he felt depressed.Not only because he was reminded again that Yu Ci was the granddaughter of the Tai Tuo, but also because the letter was not sealed at all—it was as if he was expected to peek at it.

If it was sealed, he would naturally check it. If the content was fine and he could show it to the queen, he would ask the craftsman to make the seal exactly the same as the original one, and then hand it over, so that Yuci could happily read the letter from home.

But an unsealed letter... Even if he really didn't read it, Yu Ci would definitely doubt him.

Whether he peeked at it as the Taifu expected, or he was suspected by Yu Ci when he obviously didn't peek at it, it was undoubtedly a very unpleasant result.

Jian Jun almost wanted to throw the letter into the fire without checking it, and just pretend it never existed.

But gritted your teeth.He still tried his best to restrain the desire to peek, and handed the letter to Yuci.

——The Taifu always manages to direct Jian Jun's anger to himself, not because he is not smooth enough, but because he misses the awkwardness of adolescents.

But in fact, he was too worried, Yu Ci has always been open and upright, and will never doubt whether his letter has been peeped.

But she was indeed a little dazed when she read the letter.

The letter was not sealed, and there was no writing on the envelope.Jianjun's expression was a little embarrassed and annoyed for no reason.

Therefore, Yu Ci's first reaction was: No, no, no, it can't be a love letter, right? !

Then his face turned red, thinking that when ancient people wrote love poems, even if they weren't poems written by red leaves or fish-passed rulers, they had to use Zhang Huanhua paper anyway.This letter is so simple, obviously not.

Feeling shy, she turned her head when she received it, and took out the letter with her back turned to Jian Jun.

Jianjun wanted to pretend to be generous.But as long as I think that it is a letter from the Taifu to Yuci, I feel uncomfortable like a cat scratching.Reluctantly refraining from peeking, she only hoped that Yu Ci would take the initiative to ask him to come together for a wonderful article.

Yu Ci opened the letter, and turned around after a while.Jian Junzheng sighed that Minmin is really a flower of interpretation, who guessed what I was thinking so quickly, and did not hide everything from me.Yu Ci folded the letter and stuffed it back.

Jian Jun looked at her dryly: "Doesn't the Queen read letters?"

Yu Ci said in surprise, "I've finished reading."

"This... so fast?"

Yu Ci was stunned for a moment, and immediately guessed what he was thinking, so she took out the letter and handed it over with a smile, and read word by word, "The autumn is overcast. It is very comforting to return to peace and kindness. But the minister is sick and old, and the festive season Serving the guests is not enough. The wind is strong at night, and the rats are gnawing on the bed, which is too disturbing. Kowtow again."

Jianjun listened and watched, but still didn't believe it.

In his heart, the Tai Tuo was a cunning old man, so the letter to his granddaughter was fine, how could the letter to the queen be full of trivial things... It's a pity that he looked all over the place and didn't find anything wrong.For a moment, he even thought of Sima Yimeng and Cao Shuang, and then said in his heart that I am not Cao Shuang.

Seeing that he was struggling, Yu Ci frowned, relaxed, and stretched out, with an extremely rich expression, she couldn't bear to expose the "conspiracy" in the Tai Tu's letter too early.

However, her respect for the Tai Tuo can always make her put aside her selfishness.

"It's getting colder in Luoyang, Taifu is not in good health, and presumably he caught the wind and cold again." She said.

Jian Jun gave an unwilling "hmm" and asked, "Doesn't the Tai Tuo keep cats? If you are quarreling with mice, you have to complain to the queen." —— I am not so delicate.

Xieci smiled and said: "Old man... the concubines and uncles are not by Taifu's side, and Taifu is lonely under his knees, so it is inevitable that he will get entangled in trivial matters to pass the time."

Jian Jun shook his head and said, "I don't understand this kind of thing."

——His father and mother passed away at a young age, not to mention that even when they were alive, they didn't care about him being married, but wished he hadn't been born.Naturally they will not understand these.

Yu Ci patted his head and said with a smile, "Your Majesty will understand later."

Jian Jun gave another "hmm" - he liked how Miu Ci washed his hair, her hands were soft and warm, and never hurt him.Lian Dai also likes to be touched by Xie Ci on the head, and he always feels that this kind of intimacy is incomparable to others.So even though Wang Congming said that it was a dragon's horn and shouldn't be touched by others, he still wished he could take the initiative to go up and let Yuci touch it.

But at the same time, he was also very troubled - because whenever Yu Ci touched his head, he could clearly feel the age and height difference between the two of them... He always felt that Yu Ci really treated him like a child.

A few days ago, he hung out with Yu Ci all day long, and he really brought Zhengtai's advantages to the extreme.Acting coquettishly, playing tricks, and showing off cuteness is almost always beneficial to Miu Ci.But relying on these means, no matter how many positions he occupies in Yu Ci's heart, Yu Ci only treats him as a child.

Jianjun wanted to break this status quo.So he fell silent, thought for a while, raised his head and said seriously: "The queen will give birth to a prince for me, and I will definitely understand when the time comes."
