Quick Travel: Cannon fodder, she always encounters yandere and paranoid people

*

At this time, in Fengyi Palace of the imperial palace, Prince Wei Congyu was having breakfast with his mother.

All the maids and eunuchs serving in the palace have withdrawn.

"Now your father favors the imperial concubine, and pays special attention to the second prince she gave birth to. Although you are the prince now, your foundation is not stable. You still need the blessing of marriage with important ministers, or to consolidate your power in the court."

The empress, who was gorgeously dressed and elegant, was looking at Wei Congyu who was sitting opposite her with a sullen face.

"Prime Minister Yun is highly regarded by the emperor and has high prestige in the court. I remember that he has an only daughter. He has a good relationship with you since childhood. If we can make a marriage contract, it will definitely be beneficial to you."

"My mother said yes."

Wei Congyu responded with a calm expression. He thought of Ah Wu, who was born delicate and soft, with dim eyes, and then continued:

"But my father mentioned it once before. Prime Minister Yun seems to be reluctant to marry Ah Wu into the royal family."

"My son is worrying too much. He cherishes his daughter so much. All you have to do is try to make his daughter happy and agree on the engagement first."

The queen frowned slightly and said that she had reached the age of decline and gradually became less favored by the emperor.

Seeing the emperor becoming more and more doting on the imperial concubine and the second prince, she was afraid that one day the emperor would support Wei Yan to ascend to the throne.

Therefore, she was determined to get married to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"No matter what happens, find an opportunity to let someone do something. If you show up as a hero in time to save the beauty, the matter will naturally happen."

"My son knows."

Wei Congyu lowered his eyes and responded, but his tone and eyes were neither sad nor happy, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking.

There was a satisfied smile on the queen's face, but she actually didn't want Wei Congyu to marry Yun Wu, just to get the power and support of the Prime Minister's Palace.

The candidate she was satisfied with was her sister's daughter and the prince's cousin.

"Cong Yu, you don't really need to marry the daughter of the Yun family, you just need to make a marriage contract. When you rely on the power of the Prime Minister's Palace to consolidate your position as the crown prince, you can give it up and marry your cousin as the queen. .”

"After your mother-in-law, I am worried about my son, who will leave the palace to visit the Prime Minister's Mansion later to give Awu a gift of hairpins."

Wei Congyu lowered his eyes and nodded. He did not agree with what the queen just said, but he did not deny it either.

"You might as well test her intentions. If she doesn't want to, just do as the queen says."

The queen nodded approvingly. If she could successfully enter into a marriage contract with the Prime Minister's Mansion, her son's position as crown prince would no longer be shaken.

Wei Congyu's expression was complicated, but he finally acquiesced. Under the current situation, he really needed to establish a relationship with the powerful Prime Minister's Office.

As for Ah Wu, after he ascends the throne as emperor, he will definitely have to clear out some of his former ministers, and he will definitely attack the Prime Minister's Mansion. Although he will not be able to give Ah Wu a status by then, he can raise her outside the palace.

Yun Wu was in a good mood on the way back to the Prime Minister's Mansion from the school in a carriage.

Because Master praised her improvement in handwriting today, Wei Yan also praised her. Except for Wei Jinyao who was always noisy with her, today's learning was not that annoying.

The carriage soon stopped at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Chun Xing carefully helped Yun Wu get out of the carriage by stepping on the stool.

As a result, there was some snow falling outside, and Yun Wu just wanted to raise her hand to cover her bun so that her hair would not get wet from the snow.

Suddenly an oil-paper umbrella blocked her head. Yun Wu put down her hand to cover her head, and saw Xie Rongjing suddenly standing in front of her.

He held an oil-paper umbrella in his hand to protect her from the snow, and his handsome face was slightly lowered with a respectful expression.

"Miss! Miss!"

At this time, a young man hurriedly ran out of the house. He saluted Yun Wu in a hurry and said quickly:

"The prince is here, but the master has not returned to the house yet. I can't make up my mind, so I invite the prince to the main hall first."

"It doesn't matter, I'll go see His Highness the Crown Prince right now."

Yun Wu said that she remembered that Wei Congyu mentioned in the school yesterday that he came today to give her a haircut gift.

Chun Xing just wanted to step forward and take the oil-paper umbrella from Xie Rongjing's hand so that she could follow Yun Wu there.

As a result, instead of holding the oil-paper umbrella, Xie Rongjing squeezed forward and occupied the position closest to Yun Wu!

"It's snowy and damp, and the hem of Miss's skirt is a little wet. You go back and prepare hot water first. You can take a bath when Miss returns to her room, so as not to catch the wind and cold. I'll accompany Miss there."

Xie Rongjing stood in Chun Xing's original position and spoke to her with a calm expression.

"Then...that's okay..."

Chun Xing touched her head and responded immediately, then looked at Xie Rongjing's back escorting Yun Wu away with an umbrella.

She realized later that something didn't sound right.

In the main hall of the front yard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wei Congyu, wearing a dark-yellow cloak with dark patterns, stood with his hands behind his back. Beside him, he bowed his head and bent over to wait for two personal eunuchs, holding a brocade box in his hands.

"Your Highness, Miss Yun is here."

One of the eunuchs sounded a sharp voice, and Wei Congyu turned around.

It was snowing outside now, and a delicate yellow figure was walking over in the white snow.

Wei Congyu's expression softened a bit without even noticing it. The little girl was dressed especially smart and pretty today.

But soon he discovered Xie Rongjing, who was following Yun Wu step by step, holding an umbrella to cover her from the snow.

Wei Congyu remembered that the man was the slave Yun Wu bought as a companion. He didn't look like a humble slave.

Yun Wu quickly walked into the main hall. It was snowy and cold outside, and her plain little face was a little red from the cold. Her goose-yellow clothes made her even more delicate.

"The courtier has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Ah Wu, I told you before that you don't have to bow when you see me."

Wei Congyu said softly, Yun Wu bowed to him in a polite manner and then raised her head to look at him.

"Dad said, etiquette cannot be broken."

Yun Wu blinked her glassy eyes and said, her voice soft and pleasant.

In fact, Wei Congyu had said before that she could just call him Brother Congyu, but she always felt that the title was too intimate and a bit awkward, so she still politely called him His Highness the Crown Prince every time they met.

Xie Rongjing silently held the folded umbrella and waited behind Yun Wu.

Wei Congyu glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and immediately noticed the robe he was wearing. Such fine clothes were not something he, a slave, could wear. They must have been appreciated by his master, Yun Wu.

But Wei Congyu didn't think much and looked at Yun Wu calmly.

"I came here today to give you a hairpin gift. I was delayed by something before, but today I can finally make up for the gift in person. I wish my grandma peace, happiness and everything goes well."

Wei Congyu's voice was gentle, and the tone he used when talking to Yun Wu was the same as his gentle and elegant appearance, but there was some testing of Yun Wu's reaction hidden in his eyes.

Wei Congyu specifically said "Lonely Ah Wu", and this title intentionally brought him closer to Yun Wu.

Xie Rongjing's clenched fists, who were waiting aside, slowly loosened his fists. There was a chill in his lowered eyes, remembering Wei Congyu's words just now.

His Ah Wu?

Huh... He really wants to covet his lady, but the lady doesn't like him, and the lady won't reward this vixen like she rewards him.
