Chapter 958 The reserved His Highness the Crown Prince
After entering the house, Princess Gao Yang relaxed a little, but when she saw Princess Jin Yang putting her two little feet into Fang Jun's bed to keep warm, she couldn't help but give Fang Jun a hard look.
Even so, it’s very intimate...
Although Sizi was not yet ten years old, Princess Gaoyang still felt uncomfortable because her sister was so close to her husband.
Princess Hengshan had already followed Si Zi's example, kicked off her shoes and jumped on the kang, and also put her feet into Fang Jun's bed. However, she was not as obedient as Sizi, and thought it was fun, so she kicked Fang Jun hard on the stomach with her fleshy little feet. Fang Jun grabbed his feet and tickled her soles, which made Princess Hengshan extremely itchy. She giggled and fell on Princess Jinyang, gasping for help: "Sister Sizi, please help me... Oops, it's so itchy. I can't bear it, brother-in-law, please forgive me..."
Princess Jinyang smiled and stepped forward to open Fang Jun's fingers and rescue Xiao Yao from the "devil's claws".
It sounds strange... Princess Gaoyang has black hair!
Gritting his teeth, he stepped forward and hit Princess Hengshan, and said angrily: "What does it look like? Be honest!"
Then he glared at Fang Jun with almond-shaped eyes: "You are so grown up and still have to stay in bed, you are really promising! Get up quickly, the prince brother has sent someone to ask you to come over."
Fang Jun grabbed Princess Hengshan's feet and tickled them a few more times. The little girl's whole body went limp and she lost strength from laughing. Fang Jun said fiercely: "Do you still dare to kick my brother-in-law in the stomach?"
"Oh, I don't dare, brother-in-law, please spare my life..."
Fang Jun then let go of her feet, turned over and tried to get up, but was unexpectedly kicked by Princess Hengshan in the nose. It was sore and painful, and tears flowed out.
Princess Hengshan succeeded with one blow, jumped off the kang nimbly, and shouted: "Sister Sizi, run quickly!"
Princess Jinyang also jumped to the ground, glanced at Fang Jun, put on her shoes and ran out laughing with Princess Hengshan.
Princess Gaoyang felt dizzy and hurriedly chased after her, shouting: "It's snowing outside, be careful of catching a cold! Xiuyu Xiuyan, quickly put a cloak on His Highness and take them to the flower hall to stay. Don't run around!"
"No!"
Several maids quickly chased him out.
Princess Gaoyang rubbed her forehead and felt a headache. She turned back and complained to Fang Jun: "Why did you bring these two ancestors back? They are so worried."
Seeing that Fang Jun had sat up, he took the clean clothes he had prepared and stepped forward to help him get dressed. The clothes were replaced with new ones, but the belt was not changed. Then Princess Gao Yang saw the red belt tied on her belt, and her eyebrows stood up.
"Which vixen made this up for you?"
This braid is exquisite and beautiful, and the weaving technique is extremely delicate. It can be seen that it comes from the girl's skillful hands, and it must be extremely attentive.
Her tone was frosty and her beautiful eyes were filled with evil. Just waiting for Fang Jun to say a name, Her Royal Highness led people to search the house!
Fang Jun glanced at it and said casually: "Oh, Sizi gave it to me yesterday. It's a peace charm."
Princess Gao Yang's face froze, then she lowered her head and saw the fish-shaped jade pendant again. She pursed her lips hard and was speechless.
She started to get really worried...
*****
After breakfast, Fang Jun arranged for people to distribute the "trophies" brought back from Jiangnan evenly, and then pointed to the largest portion: "This portion belongs to His Royal Highness, together with the things the two little princesses picked out yesterday. Send it to the palace.”
Princess Gaoyang on the side was stunned: "Since it belongs to the prince brother, why did he send it to the palace? The prince brother is short of money now. Aren't you afraid that he will get in trouble with you?"
My father is now a Pixiu man who can only get in and out. How can he spit out this money when it reaches his mouth? Not even the prince’s!
Fang Jun smiled and said: "Don't worry so much. I am doing this for the benefit of His Highness. He will thank me later."
Princess Gao Yang rolled her eyes and hummed: "Thank you? Just don't call at the door. You don't know how worried the prince brother is when he is short of money now, so he pointed to your money to help, but you gave it to my father." The Emperor..."
Wu Meiniang heard them talking about His Highness the Crown Prince and did not dare to interrupt. She obediently helped Fang Jun straighten the wrinkles on his clothes.
Fang Jun stood up and said calmly: "Why does he need so much money? Since he is the crown prince of the country, can your majesty still be without his food and drink expenses?"
Princess Gao Yang was a little unhappy: "Brother Prince has a lot to do, what should he not spend money on? He doesn't have your ability to make money, so it's natural that he can't do anything."
Fang Jun glanced at Princess Gaoyang, pondered for a moment, and said, "He is just a prince, not an emperor. Why does he do so many things?"
After saying that, he opened the door and walked out.
The general is already waiting in the courtyard, has prepared a carriage, and is going to the East Palace to meet His Highness the Crown Prince.
Princess Gao Yang was quite unhappy. She slapped the coffee table with her little hand and said angrily: "What nonsense did this person say? It's really irritating!"
Wu Meiniang walked up to her and whispered: "Erlang's words make sense. Since he is the prince, then just be a good prince honestly. Why rush to show off in front of His Majesty? If you do too much, you will make many mistakes."
Compared with Wu Meiniang, Princess Gaoyang is a complete scumbag in terms of political sensitivity. She frowned slightly when she heard this, and she was a little confused. However, she trusted Wu Meiniang very much and knew that Wu Meiniang was much better than herself in this aspect. Since Wu Meiniang said so, it was worth pondering.
After frowning and thinking for a while, Princess Gaoyang said in surprise: "Wouldn't the prince's brother cause dissatisfaction with his father?"
Wu Meiniang smiled and said: "That's why Erlang wants to help His Highness the Crown Prince."
Princess Gaoyang finally figured it out.
She's just not sensitive enough and doesn't care about these things. She's not stupid...
After Fang Jun left the house, the generals and servants of Fang's house loaded the belongings into carriages and sent them door to door according to the list. Only Prince Li Chengqian's share was sent directly to Tai Chi Palace. , instead of the East Palace.
The light snow in the sky was falling one after another, and the snow powder melted when it fell to the ground. The temperature was not cold, and it was far from the severe frost season. The snowflakes added a bit of poetry to this majestic ancient city.
When Fang Jun arrived outside the Chongming Gate of the East Palace, there was already a chamberlain here. Fang Jun got off the carriage and entered under the guidance of the chamberlain.
The waiter kept looking behind Fang Jun, as if wondering why the Marquis came alone. Shouldn't he have brought something with him?
Fang Jun turned a blind eye to his expression.
There is a plum forest outside Li Zheng Hall. The plum blossoms are not yet in full bloom. Strings of small buds on the bare branches are trembling in the flying snow. The snowflakes melted on the bluestone steps in front of the palace and became wet. The entire East Palace was quiet and dignified, and the air was fresh and moist.
As soon as Fang Jun entered the main hall, Li Chengqian greeted him personally.
"Well done Erlang, you have been in the limelight during this trip to the south of the Yangtze River. My father has praised you many times in front of our princes and asked us to learn from you. Alas, you said you were so good at what you did. What, isn’t this putting us brothers on the fire?”
Li Chengqian complained, but patted Fang Jun's shoulder hard several times, showing that he was very satisfied with Fang Jun's performance. He had just grown a short mustache on his upper lip, and his smile looked less frivolous and more frivolous than before. Partially warm.
If Fang Jun performs well, he will naturally be satisfied. Although Fang Jun is not enthusiastic about the fight for the crown prince and has even repeatedly stated that he is staying out of it, he secretly has some advice for himself. As long as his position as crown prince is secure, Fang Jun will be his future minister, just like Fang Xuanling. Put it like your father.
Fang Jun's mouth twitched slightly. Has he become what adults call "other people's children"?
"Thanks to His Majesty's great blessing, this trip went smoothly, and I don't dare to take credit for it."
Fang Jun was hypocritically polite. This is what it should be. Otherwise, would His Highness the Crown Prince praise you a few times, and you would just say that this is all our ability, and you and your son will take advantage of it?
How do you want your leader to see you?
That's not honest, that's mentally ill...
Li Chengqian was obviously in a very good mood. He took Fang Jun's hand affectionately and returned to sit on the brocade couch. He asked about the scenery and customs of Jiangnan and the pattern of the Jiangnan nobles, and then stopped talking.
Haha...
Fang Jun chuckled to himself, is he too thin-skinned to ask about money?
Your Highness, whether you are a human being, an official, or a prince, you have a thick face and a dark heart. Your wise and powerful father is a hundred times better than you in this regard. However, it was precisely this difference between Li Chengqian's reserve from the ruthless Tianjia that made Fang Jun feel quite comfortable.
To assist such an emperor, at least he won't be ruthless and kill the donkey just to get rid of trouble, right? (End of chapter)
