A Precious Pearl in the Imperial City - Chapter 65

“Ming San Gongzi.” Wang Chen jumped off his horse, walked to Ming Jiyuan’s side, and enthusiastically put his hand on his shoulder: “I haven’t seen him for a long time, San Gongzi is still handsome and personable.”

“His Royal Highness Chen Wang.” Ming Jiyuan turned sideways slightly and bowed his hands to bow to the Chen Wang: “The next minister has seen the prince.”

Withdrawing his dangling hand, Wang Chen laughed: “The third son has not returned to Beijing for a long time, and may be a little unfamiliar with the capital. It just so happens that the king is going to visit your residence today, why not go?”

“His Royal Highness is laughing.” Ming Jiyuan turned around and supported it with one hand and sat on the carriage: “The minister returns to the mansion for his return. His Royal Highness visits the humble house for his presence. What’s more, the next official position is humble and light, so how can you let His Highness be accompanied ?”

He noticed that Wang Chen was wearing a light-colored brocade robe today, which was low-key and restrained, with a somewhat graceful manner.

However, what came to mind was the appearance of Wang Chen who wore a purple robe and was wanton.

“The third son of Ming is young and promising, and he is a clean and honest official. When a good official like you returns to Beijing, this king voluntarily welcomes you.” The king Chen made a gesture of invitation: “Please.”

“My lord.” The book boy looked at Jiyuan with embarrassment. Are they going or not?

Ming Jiyuan looked at Wang Chen with a smile on his face, arched his hands at him, turned his head and said, “Go.”

The capital is much more lively than the place where he worked, but at the moment Ming sent a faraway heart to watch the scenery of the capital, and just wanted to return home early to reunite with his family.

Raising the curtain, Ming Jiyuan watched Wang Chen who was riding beside him. Compared with two years ago, Chen Wang looks much more mature and stable, and it seems that he has even changed his arrogant dressing style.

He does not believe that the appearance of King Chen is a coincidence, and there are not so many coincidences in the world.

He also didn’t believe in the superior prince, who would treat his subordinates courteously because of a marriage contract.

There is no unreasonable intimacy between people, there must be plans.

What does Wang Chen want from the Ming family?

“Miss, the messenger said, the son is back.” The equinox walked quickly to Jiuzhu: “Presumably we are almost at home by now.”

“Brother is back?” Jiuzhu stood up and turned around on the spot: “Send someone to inform his father and mother, and ask the next person to prepare clean clothes and hot water, and, there is also the kitchen…”

“Don’t worry, Miss, I’m still here.” Seeing Miss nervously at the equinox, he smiled and pushed her to the door: “You go to the door and wait for the son, and we will worry about other things.”

Jiuzhu grabbed his sleeves and stood nervously at the gate. When a carriage passed by, he quickly took a look, and when he realized that it was not, he retracted his eyes in disappointment.

“Ming Xiaozhu.” Wang Chen saw Jiuzhu looking at the gate from a distance. He patted the horse, speeded up to her side, and looked at her with a smile on the horse’s back.

“His Royal Highness, why are you out of the palace?” Seeing King Chen, Jiuzhu’s nervousness disappeared halfway, and she moved aside to prevent the horse from covering her sight.

“What to hide?” Wang Chen saw her doing this and deliberately teased her: “I don’t want to see me, eh?”

“His Royal Highness, don’t make trouble.” Jiuzhu touched King Chen’s mount, craned her neck and looked around: “I…”

Before she finished speaking, she saw a carriage parked not far from her, and a young man in a green shirt and a hosta crown got off the carriage.

They have never seen it before, but with just this look, Jiuzhu can be sure that this man is the brother who writes to her every month.

The young man walked hurriedly to Jiuzhu, trying to reach out to touch the top of her hair, and restrained his trembling hand back: “Is it… Jiuzhu?”

Jiuzhu nodded.

“It’s all so big.” Ming Jiyuan choked in his voice, and opened his arms to hug the girl, but he was afraid that her sudden enthusiasm would scare her.

He still remembered that his younger sister when she was just born was a little limp. He held her, she didn’t cry or make trouble, she looked at him curiously with her big eyes open.

After his sister was sent away, he heard the cry of the child and thought it was his sister crying.

He thought that as long as he returned to the capital, he would be able to see his sister again. Never thought that this difference would be seventeen years.

Just when he was stunned, the girl plunged into his arms.

“brother.”

Hearing this “brother”, Ming Jiyuan’s eyes turned red, and his hands trembled around the girl.

Back then, he watched his sister be sent away, and finally at this moment, he was reunited.

King Chen got off his horse, asked the dragon guard to take his horse away, and said nothing while leaning on the stone lion.

He saw Ming Jingzhou and Shen’s carriage rushing back from a distance, raised his mouth and smiled, turned and prepared to leave.

“His Royal Highness.”

Someone grabbed his sleeve. He turned around and looked at the red beads, took out a handkerchief and wiped her face: “Your family is reunited today, and I will come to you in a few days.”

“A few days later?” Jiuzhu sucked his nose, his red nose looked pitiful.

“Three days.” Wang Chen looked at the teardrops on her eyelashes: “Come in three days.”

Jiuzhu nodded, and the hand holding his sleeve loosened, but did not loosen it completely.

“Thank you for sending the next official back. If your Highness doesn’t dislike it, please go to the humble house for a cup of light tea.” Ming Jiyuan saw his sister clutching Wang Chen’s sleeve, and gracefully giving him a favor.

“Don’t mind.” Wang Chen smiled at Jiuzhu, and looked up at Ming Jiyuan: “Thank you San Gongzi for inviting me.”

As soon as the voice fell, the carriage of the Ming family and his wife arrived. He looked at the excited family of four, as well as a small corner of his clothes being grabbed by Jiuzhu, and waited patiently.

He won’t leave until he finishes Ming’s tea today.

Man, big man. If you agree to someone’s request for tea, you must do it.

When the family returned to the main house, Shen glanced at Wang Chen, who was sitting next to his daughter and drinking tea in silence, and glanced at Ming Jingzhou suspiciously.

The emperor had spoken, the prince and princess could not easily get out of the palace, such a big palace, can’t hold Wang Chen’s legs?

“His Royal Highness.” Ming Jingzhou said, “I wonder what is your Highness’s reason for coming to the Mansion?”

“Nothing.” Wang Chen smiled: “The third son invited this king to your house to drink tea. I thought that soon after being a family, how could I refuse the sincere invitation of the third son.”

The couple turned their heads to look at Ming Jiyuan.

Ming Jiyuan: “…”

In fact, it is not very sincere, just a polite sentence by the way.

He smiled: “If your Royal Highness is busy with his business, you don’t have to worry about being an official.”

Go, go quickly.

“The third son may not know. Recently, all of us princes and princesses are very idle and have no business to do.” Speaking of this, the king gave Ming Jingzhou’s advice: “Fortunately, there are adult teachings, and the juniors have learned a lot. .”

Ming Jingzhou stood up and replied: “His Royal Highness is serious.”

Teaching?

Ming Jiyuan’s doubts deepened. In the past month, he was anxious to return to the capital, and the communication was inconvenient, so he didn’t know what happened in the capital.

My father has always been reluctant to get too close to these adult princes. How could he teach Wang Chen things?

But no one helped him. He looked at the question and answer with his father. Wang Chen, who seemed to have something to say, couldn’t help but wonder, did Wang Chen really change his sex?

It didn’t take long for someone to give gifts one after another, saying they were celebrating his return to Beijing.

He did not receive such a courtesy when he left Beijing to work in other places.

How long did it take to come back today, when the princes from all the families gave gifts?

Almost everyone who came to give gifts didn’t forget to convey the thoughts of his son to him, as if they all had a deep friendship with him.

Looking at Wang Chen who was smiling but not smiling, Ming Jiyuan understood where the enthusiasm of these people came from.

He was greeted by the King Chen himself from the city gate to the Ming family, and the King Chen was promoting the Ming family.

But in this way, in the eyes of others, the Ming family and Chen Wang became one. He frowned slightly, and just about to think seriously about Wang Chen’s intentions, he saw Wang Chen push the melon seeds that had been peeled for a long time to his sister.

The younger sister divided the melon seeds into two. She took half of the melon seeds and gave them half to the king. Chen Wang took advantage of her younger sister’s attention and allocated a little bit to the pile of melon seeds.

He was startled slightly, and he had a ridiculously absurd idea in his mind.

Maybe Chen Wang didn’t picture anything, just wanted to please his sister?

“Jiyuan, you just came back. Go take a bath and change into clean clothes to relieve your fatigue.” Ming Jingzhou stood up, “I will take you to the yard to see if something is wrong.”

“Jiuzhu.” He looked at the daughter who eats melon seeds: “Sit with your mother and your Highness for a while, and I will be back soon.”

“Okay, father.” Jiuzhu nodded, and put the melon seeds in his hand back into the plate.

Walking out of the main courtyard, Ming Jiyuan asked Ming Jingzhou: “Father, your majesty wants to canonize Concubine Su as queen, but is it true?”

Ming Jingzhou nodded: “A lot of things have happened in the capital in the past six months. You can’t finish it in a few words. Now you only need to go to the Dali Temple to work, and I will be with your uncle for other things.”

“What does Wang Chen mean?” Ming Jiyuan frowned, “As soon as the child returned to Beijing today, I met Wang Wang. I don’t believe this is a coincidence.”

“In the future, don’t talk to your sister and say bad things about Wang Chen.” Ming Jingzhou turned around and looked behind him, as if he was afraid of her daughter coming out: “Your sister will be angry with you.”

“Sister, she… your favorite Royal Highness?”

“It’s better to marry the one you like than to watch her marry someone you don’t like.” Ming Jingzhou patted his son on the shoulder, and said with satisfaction: “I haven’t seen you for two years, and I have gained a lot of health.”

“Father.” Ming Jiyuan couldn’t let go of his sister’s imminent marriage: “Wang Chen has a public personality. I’m afraid that my sister will be wronged when she marries him.”

“But the emperor’s order has been issued, can she not be allowed to marry?” Ming Jingzhou raised his eyebrows: “Besides, why do you think the King Chen will pick you up when you return to Beijing and guard it at the gate?

“Why?” Ming Jiyuan’s eyes gradually sank: “He wants to use our Ming family?”

“Do you think… the character of King Yichen would do this kind of thing?” Ming Jingzhou shook his head: “This kind of prince, who has been favored by His Majesty since childhood, is impossible to do this kind of thing.”

For Wang Chen, the world belongs to the emperor, and he is the emperor’s most beloved son, which means that everyone in the world will bow their heads in front of him.

“You.” Ming Jingzhou looked at him pityingly: “Even your sixth brother has a fiancée, but you still don’t have a person who knows cold or hot. There is a reason.”

Ming Jiyuan: “?”

Why did he disagree and attacked him personally?

“Some things, let go of prejudice and look at it with your heart.” Ming Jingzhou smiled: “You will understand.”

“Also, King Chen and Concubine Su are your sister’s saviors.”

“Benefactor?” Ming Jiyuan asked inexplicably, “Father, what is going on?”

This capital seems to be no longer the one in his memory, and everything has become strange.

Just like how he used to think, Wang Chen would become his brother-in-law.
