After Huanbi was reborn, she became the prince's favorite
Chapter 92 Playing Chess with the Emperor
On this day, the Emperor made an appointment with Prince Guo to play chess in the Yangxin Palace. The prince went to the street early in the morning to buy things, including rouge and powder for his daughter's family, jewelry, and some exquisite cakes.
Ah Jin packed all the things and while fixing the reins of the horse, he turned back and said to the prince, "The emperor summoned you to the palace. Now you have become the errand boy for Miss Huanbi."
Prince Guo patted his chest and said, "Go, if Huanbi hears this, she will definitely not accept these things."
Ah Jin smiled and looked around, "Your Highness is too cautious. There are only you and I here, how could this get to Miss Huanbi's ears?"
Prince Guo was amused by his own cautiousness. Yes, it seemed that he was really too cautious. However, he thought that even if Huanbi was not here at the moment, he could not say anything she did not like to hear.
"Okay, you can ask someone you know to deliver these things to Suiyuxuan as usual. Do it quietly and don't attract other people's attention, otherwise Huanbi won't let me deliver things in next time."
Ah Jin clasped his hands into fists respectfully, smiled and said, "Ah Jin, obey your command!"
The carriage slowly drove into the palace gate. The prince got off the carriage and separated from A Jin. He deliberately took a detour, not taking the usual shadiest path, but went around to the entrance of Sui Yuxuan, thinking that it would be nice if he could catch a glimpse of Huanbi from afar.
However, things went against his wishes. When Prince Guo walked to the door of Suiyuxuan, he deliberately slowed down his pace and even wandered back and forth at the door twice. The yard was quiet and no one came out.
If he stayed like this any longer, people would probably talk about him, so he sighed and walked forward.
When they arrived outside the Yangxin Palace, Su Peisheng told the prince that Longkodo and Zhang Tingyu were discussing matters with the emperor inside. Eunuch Su looked a little embarrassed and said, "Please wait a moment, Your Majesty. I believe the two adults will come out soon."
Prince Guo raised his hand and comforted him, "It's okay. Government affairs are more important. My brother invited me to the palace just to play chess for fun. I'll just wait on the side."
Su Peisheng smiled and nodded a few times without saying anything.
Among the late emperor's children, Prince Guo had the best temperament. He did not have the arrogance and self-conceit of the royal children, nor did he have the desire for power. He usually only cared about traveling, playing chess, calligraphy and painting, and other elegant interests. He was truly a leisurely prince.
Naturally, such princes appear to be two extremes to outsiders.
Most people who are obsessed with power scold him for being incompetent, saying that he looks like a romantic scholar who is unfamiliar with state affairs and does not look like a prince at all.
Those who are more calm and peaceful envy and like him very much, and also admire his noble quality of not using his power to bully others despite being in a high position.
Su Peisheng is the latter.
Just as Eunuch Su was thinking this, the door of the Yangxin Palace opened and two adults came out.
Prince Guo nodded to the two of them, and just as he raised his head, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the familiar buttons on Longkodo's chest.
The pattern, material, and color on it were so similar to the one in Huanbi's hand that his face changed suddenly.
Longkodo seemed to notice that Prince Guo's face was not right, and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong with Prince Guo?"
The prince quickly came back to his senses, regained his usual demeanor, looked outside and said, "Perhaps I have been standing outside for too long, I suddenly felt anxious just now, thank you for your concern."
Longkodo nodded and said, "The weather is getting hotter, Your Majesty should take good care of yourself."
Prince Guo clasped his hands together and thanked Longkodo, "Thank you for your concern, my Lord. You two are very busy, so please take care of your health."
After saying this, Prince Guo entered the Yangxin Palace.
Inside the room, the emperor was sitting upright with his brows tightly knitted, as if he was worried about something. When he saw him come in, the emperor stood up and sat on the chair in front of the low table.
"Brother, please see your Majesty."
"Get up! You were just discussing matters with the two ministers. You must have been waiting outside for a long time, right?"
Prince Guo replied softly, "I just waited for a while, it's no problem."
The emperor looked down at the chessboard, which was set up the same way as the last time the two of them hadn't finished the game.
The emperor gently twisted the chess piece he had already eaten, cleared his throat and said, "Sometimes I really envy you."
When Prince Guo heard this, he immediately became serious and thought, "Brother Emperor has the world in his heart, and he has done things to seek stability and happiness for his subjects. I have always respected you and think you are the wisest man in the world.
It is me, my younger brother, who is only interested in those romantic things all day long. Compared with my brother, I am really a useless person."
The emperor raised his lips slightly and said with a smile:
"Sometimes, don't I want to be an idle person?
But state affairs and family affairs are exhausting, and if I don't do them and become lazy, I don't know how many people will suffer as a result."
Prince Guo immediately stood up and saluted the emperor, "My Royal Brother has worked hard for the governance of our Great Qing, and he is also a man of great talent and strategy. Looking back over the past several thousand years, the Tang and Song dynasties were no better than him. It is because of my Royal Brother that our Great Qing has stability and prosperity."
Normally everyone flattered the emperor, but he was still very happy to hear his own brother affirming him so much. He smiled heartily and pulled Prince Guo up.
"The only one who knows my heart is Yunli!"
After that, the two finally started playing chess.
After a while, a voice came from the room, "Brother Emperor's chess skills are indeed better than mine. I lost again."
"Hahaha! I won by a narrow margin. You almost ate all my chess pieces."
"It's my humble brother's chess skills that make me always lose sight of the big picture. In terms of overall planning, it's my brother who can grasp the overall situation and defeat the opponents one by one. I admire you!"
The emperor was very happy after winning the game of chess and called Su Peisheng to add more tea for him.
He took a big sip of tea and asked, "By the way, Yunli, I went to see the Empress Dowager yesterday. She was worried about your marriage and asked me to urge you.
You are not young anymore, and your brothers are still unmarried. If your affairs can be settled soon, it will also relieve the Queen Mother and I of our worries."
Yunli smiled gently, "The Queen Mother's health has not improved. I think it is probably because she is worried about too many things and is exhausted."
The emperor patted his shoulder and sighed, "It's no wonder that the Empress Dowager is worried about you. Look at the princes in the capital. Is there any one like you who is still unmarried at your age?
By the way, I heard that Prince Guo’s mansion doesn’t even have a maid, but is it true? "
Yunli glanced at the emperor calmly, his eyes looking into the distance leisurely, "It is enough for the Qing Dynasty to have my brother to expand its branches and leaves. I have no other thoughts, I just want to find someone who loves me wholeheartedly to spend my life with."
The emperor nodded and said, "Two people are in love and treat each other with respect. No one doesn't want this, just like me and Chunyuan in the past, and me and Huanhuan today. No wonder you think so.
But when you say that, do you already have a lover?"
