I've been in this world [Quick Transmigration]

The third prince was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Xie Ziqi put the letter in his bosom, and said calmly: "Why do you need to ask knowingly?"

"The current emperor is in the prime of his life, so you are not afraid that you will fight with the prince for many years, and in the end both will lose, and the other princes will be taken advantage of."

"Who?" The third prince began to compete with the prince for the attention of the emperor and empress since he could remember, and when he grew up, he began to compete with the prince for power. From the beginning to the end, he never saw the existence of other princes.Ziqi's words seemed like a slap in the face.

The third prince suddenly understood.That's right, the prince and him are the oldest, the father is in the prime of life, the mother is dead, and there are no other favorite concubines in the harem who have given birth to heirs. Who can guarantee that the throne is either the prince or him?For a moment, he thought of the prince in the palace, who was either obsequious to him, or dared not speak out, or avoided him.Thinking of the six princes who are his mother's compatriots, who are also legitimate sons, ten years younger than him, their faces are all blurred.

However, these princes will step on his bones and ascend to the throne in the future.

"You're right, but I can't do anything." The third prince smiled wryly.Compared to his father who ascended to the throne by killing his brother and imprisoning his father, he is still not cruel enough.

Xie Ziqi smiled when he heard the words: "The reputation of regicide is not good. Of course, the painting painted with poison was not given by you, but by someone else. For example, His Royal Highness, who has gradually lost the emperor's heart recently and his power has been greatly reduced."

Xie Ziqi emphasized the words His Royal Highness.

"Seeing that most of my power has been reduced, I was unwilling to do so, and finally took the risk and killed the emperor with a pair of calligraphy and paintings smeared with poison. As a prince, I justifiably ascended to the throne."

"Okay." The third prince nodded, "I'll make arrangements."

Xie Ziqi looked at the back of the third prince going away, the corner of his mouth slightly raised an arc, then turned around and picked up the scissors, and continued to cut plum blossoms on his own. Tone, in three days, the plum blossom branches in this garden can't be finished.Xie Ziqi simply threw away the scissors and went back to the study to read.

East Palace.

The prince angrily slapped the secret report that Xie's family was held accountable by the governor of Jiangnan, Zhao Bingrui was thrown into prison, and the Taifu returned home.

The prince's eyes turned red, "Su Wushang, go and find out who is behind the scenes."

Su Wushang read the secret report carefully, and seeing the consequences of the imperial examination being leaked and the Xie family being held accountable because of the exam questions hidden in the bamboo basket provided by Xiao Xie's family, Su Wushang couldn't help flashing through his mind. The last time he went to Xiao Xie's mansion, Ziqi's biological mother died of illness and did not report it. The idea of ​​Ziqi's revenge vaguely flashed in his mind.

When he saw the secret report that Zhao Bingrui was imprisoned due to the leakage of the imperial examination questions, Su Wushang threw this idea away again.

Su Wushang said to the furious prince: "Your Highness, I will thoroughly investigate this matter, but the Xie family, the prince cannot save it. To save the Xie family is to plunge yourself into the mud, and it is difficult to get out in the end. The Xie family can only abandon it."

The prince frowned, and said impatiently: "Without the Jiangnan Xie family, we would have no money or food to support us. If we can't feed those people enough, why would we still listen to Gu's words?"

Hearing this, Su Wushang frowned quietly. He was forced to board the prince's pirate ship because of Ziqi, but he didn't know where he was heading?What will happen in the end?But Ziqi only met him once.

Time also, life also.Su Wushang lowered his head and gave a wry smile. The prince was dull, irritable, and partial to his beliefs. He was unable to bring up any mood to make suggestions for the prince.

For a while, it was a little stiff.

Coincidentally, a counselor said: "The sage said: If you are tired, you will work hard, if you are obedient, you will be lazy, and you are a human being. I heard that the third prince recently brought back a peerless beauty from the prime minister's mansion, and gave her the garden bestowed by the emperor for only one person." Live. Eating and sleeping with this beauty every day, political affairs gradually become weaker. Isn’t this in line with the words of the sages. Although we are in trouble, it is time to work hard.”

The prince nodded.

Seeing that the prince's face turned bright, the counselor said: "There is an old saying: openly fight for the bottom, and secretly fight for the top. Power is profit, not fighting for gain. The most important thing about fighting for power and profit is precisely this non-fighting is the secret of fighting." In the past, the crown prince and the third prince fought openly and secretly, which made the emperor worry all the time. If the prince wins, His Majesty will comfort the third prince, but now that the prince seems to have lost, His Majesty can change his previous attitude, which will be more comforting to you."

"Is this true?"

The counselor took the story of years of contention between himself and his younger brother as an example, "I agree with this, and so does Your Majesty."

The prince thought for a moment, recalling the many years of fighting between him and the third prince. Since he was a child, he was not as smart as the third prince. He always lost more and won less. on his side.

The prince seemed to have suddenly realized, nodded, and praised: "You are right, Gu Shuo has always been scolded by the emperor recently, so this is the reason." After the prince finished speaking, he rolled his eyes at Su Wushang again, seeing Su Wushang I was distracted, and couldn't help but feel annoyed.

If it wasn't for Su Wushang's instigation, how could he have been a corporal to those poor scholars.The prince gave Su Wushang a cold look, and then looked at the counselor with warm eyes.

The counselor saw the prince and listened to what he said.He also said: "The subordinates have a plan, it's not worth talking about it."

The prince said eagerly: "Speak quickly."

The counselor then said: "In three days, it will be His Majesty's birthday. The sage said: If you want to win your heart, you must do what you like. No one can know what His Majesty likes better than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The prince nodded and began to think hard.

Seeing that the crown prince was frowning, the counselor said, "I heard that His Majesty likes calligraphy and painting."

The prince seemed to be woken up, "Yes, yes." He suddenly remembered that when he and the third prince were still studying, the Taifu and his father commented on calligraphy and painting once said that the "Sacrificial Son and Nephew Died in the Night Rain" written by Xie Xizhi "Late Work" is not available.Later, he still remembered it in his heart, and searched for it a few times, and then he was busy fighting with the third prince, so he forgot about it.

The prince suddenly stood up: "Father is obsessed with Xie Xizhi's calligraphy and painting, but the world doesn't know that Xie Xizhi has a pair of calligraphy and painting that has been lost in the rivers and lakes, which is the beloved work that father couldn't ask for. It's a pity that there are still three days before father's birthday So, where do you start?"

The counselor's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard the words Xie Xizhi. "Is it the painting "Sacrificial Son and Nephew Died in the Night Rain"?"

The prince was extremely surprised: "How do you know?"

The counselor explained very reservedly: "Before I entered the East Palace, I lived in Sushan Temple for three years. I had a very happy conversation with a monk who made a list. Before leaving, he gave me a pair of calligraphy and painting as a souvenir. This calligraphy and painting."

The prince was overjoyed.Can't help shouting, "Get it quickly."

But the counselor showed an extremely embarrassed expression, "There must be imitations of this calligraphy and painting in the Jianghu. I can't confirm whether this is the real one? I put this calligraphy and painting in the residence outside the palace, and I didn't carry it with me."

The crown prince nodded: "You are thinking about it very much. Go ask the monk from Sushan Temple."

Counselor: "The single monk is now the abbot of Sushan Temple, and it is not convenient for him to enter the palace. The prince has to go out with me to get it."

The prince waved his hand and agreed with great boldness.

Su Wushang on one side watched the whole process without expressing any opinions.

Feeling that the prince was in a good mood, he rewarded the counselor and Su Wushang with a beautiful maid.

When Su Wushang heard the words and refused, the counselor laughed and said, "Young Master Su, if you are so ignorant, why don't you give me these two beautiful maidservants."

The counselor hugged the two beautiful maidservants and left.

Su Wushang looked at the bright moon outside the window, but couldn't help feeling sad.

Under the same bright moon, the third prince and Xie Ziqi played chess in front of the window.

Xie Ziqi played a pawn, "How is the matter of calligraphy and painting going?"

The third prince also played a chess piece: "I buried a chess piece in the prince's place earlier, and the news just came that the prince has taken the bait, and the calligraphy and painting will be in the prince's hands tomorrow."

The wind suddenly picked up outside the window, blowing away countless plum blossoms.

Xie Ziqi: "This is God's will." Without him needing to cut it off, the plum blossoms have already fallen.

The third prince looked at the east wind, and suddenly said: "The east wind blows, and the war drums beat."

The third prince took a deep look at Xie Ziqi, "I'm going to the army tomorrow, why don't you farewell for me today."

The third prince sent two jars of wine.Moved the chessboard away, the third prince swept away his past elegance, and gulped down his drink. "I drink, you can drink as you like."

The third prince drank a jar of wine alone and was already half drunk.However, Ziqi didn't drink a drop of wine.

"I've heard people say that when I get drunk, my worries are relieved, but why do I have more and more worries?"

"Why is the prince already in the game, but why am I unhappy?"

The third prince leaned on the table with his head under his left hand, and brought the wine to Xie Ziqi with his right hand, but Xie Ziqi didn't drink it.

The third prince showed a helpless expression, and then smiled wryly.

"Ziqi, why don't you drink it? I made tea, but you don't drink it, and I brewed wine, but you don't drink it, so you don't want to see me like that?"

Xie Ziqi didn't answer.

The third prince took the wine back, raised his head and poured it into his own mouth, "Ziqi, I know you despise me, yes, I am domineering and do whatever I want. But why do you only see this side of me."

Xie Ziqi looked straight at the third prince, wanting to say something.

"Don't talk, just this time, listen to me. On the day I was born, the rain fell from the sky, and the three-month drought in Shubei County was relieved. My father, queen, and queen praised me as a lucky star; when I was studying, too Fu said that I am talented and talented; I have been in court since I was 9 years old, and all civil and military officials were very convinced. But why, when I stood with the prince, my father, queen and queen only had the prince in their eyes; Why did my Tai Tuo praise me but was only willing to teach the prince carefully? Why did the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty let me leave Beijing when I was getting more and more sophisticated in government affairs. At that time, I was only ten years old, and I still wanted to snuggle up The children around me. Why did the father agree, why did the mother not stop the courtiers' proposal, why did I become a virtuous king who assists the emperor for the rest of my life? Why is this? The same belly came out, how did I lose to one A person who is useless and obese like a pig, isn't it just that I was born a year later than him? Why should I be crushed by such a person who is inferior to me in every way? And I don't want to bear the winking at him all my life. I don't I am willing, my mother died, and I was called into Jinghua. I have full wings, this time I will not leave myself, and no one will leave. I recruit talents and courtiers. I just want my father to know that if you don’t give it to me, I can take it back myself."

Thinking of the past, the third prince almost choked up. "I thought I had been hurt and disheartened, but I fell in love with you. If you ask me why I like you, it is because you are different from those people, and you will only be nice to one person. Father is different, he can Divide love into two parts, and it can be divided into several parts; the Taifu is different, he loves himself more than everything else, so he bears the burden of humiliation, abandons the prince, resigns from his old age and returns to his hometown, and dare not seek the truth for fear of revealing the secrets of the royal family. The head of the item is not guaranteed; the courtiers are different, they choose the old but dignified old emperor, or the little prince who can be manipulated. Whoever gives the most benefits will naturally fall to whom.

"My heart is very small and can only accommodate one person. I want to find someone who only loves me, can't I?" The third prince's eyes gleamed with tears.

Xie Ziqi looked at the drunken third prince, and for the first time said unreasonably: "Is love that important?"

"Yes."

The third prince's drunken eyes looked at the shadowy Xie Ziqi, and he stretched out his hand to hold Xie Ziqi's hand, but finally gave up. Instead, he pulled Xie Ziqi's sleeve, with a picturesque smile on his face: "Ziqi, I'm going to be the emperor soon." , we have a lifetime to hang out with."

The third prince finally fell asleep lying on the table with his arms under his head.

Xie Zi was looking forward to the third prince, it seemed that it was the first time he looked at the third prince squarely, saw his face clearly for the first time.Ziqi looked at it carefully.

The luxurious prince piled up with gold clothes and jade food, his brows are full of pride, his eyes are slender, and the shadow cast by his eyelashes makes people unable to help people get close to him. His extremely handsome face has become much thinner due to the tiredness of many days. His pale face was distressing.

Xie Ziqi looked at the third prince's face, but his expression became more and more dazed.

Hiding my own interests and personality, fighting and fighting, rushing and touching, spending so much effort to fight for something I don't like, just for this hopeless love, step by step to today, and finally become like this, does it worth?Are you tired?

Love breeds uniqueness, compulsion, jealousy, desire to control, and makes people dizzy. Why is there love?Is it bad to be alone?A young child loses money, reads thousands of books, travels thousands of miles, and has never envied Xie Ziqi, who can't figure it out or figure it out.He stared at the flickering lights, dazed in a daze.

Xie Ziqi looked at the third prince who was lying on the table and fell asleep, walked to the garden alone, picked up a plum blossom from the ground, took a sip, and there was a faint fragrance.

Xie Ziqi: "Perhaps, Mei Hua is not at fault."

The author has something to say:
