Lu Danqing's ultimate goal is actually the current Emperor Wen Tingyu, not Prince Rui Wen Tingyun.
Wen Tingyu was the second among the first emperor's sons, and Wen Tingyun was the fifth. The two were not siblings from the same mother, so their relationship was not very close.
Currently there are four princes remaining in the capital besides Prince Rui Wen Tingyun. Because princes are titles rather than official positions, it is far from enough to rely on the taxation of the fiefdom alone, so most of the emperor's brothers will have a role in the court. A part-time job.
This is the case of Wen Tingyun. The five princes in the capital are in charge of six departments, and because Wen Tingyun's clan is prominent and he has outstanding ability, he is the only one of the five princes who leads two departments, namely the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Punishment.
Although Wen Tingyun had no second thoughts, the emperor was always wary of him.
One is because Wen Tingyun has a high reputation in the court and is highly respected; the other is that the Ministry of Officials in charge of him is in charge of the appointment, removal, assessment, and honors of civil officials across the country, while the Ministry of Punishment is in charge of judicial administration throughout the country.This means that all civil servants around the emperor can only take office after his review, and the emperor has to go through him if he wants to convict someone of a crime. Wen Tingyu had to be on guard against the feeling of restraint everywhere.
The relationship between the two brothers is not close, which means that it is very difficult for Lu Danqing to meet the emperor at Prince Rui's residence.So he asked Wei Ran to go to the palace to find out if the emperor would come out of the palace in the near future.Although Wei Ran occupied the boy's body, but only a ray of soul attached to it. After all, Lu Danqing didn't really want him to do the unskilled work of serving tea and water, but staying by his side all the time Will miss the business.
Fortunately, Wei Ran told him after returning from the palace that the emperor would go out of the palace one morning every month to visit his childhood nurse, and it was exactly three days later.
It just so happened that Ruan Shaotang came to ask Lu Danqing to go out to play at this time, he agreed after a little thought, because he wanted to go out, if he pushed, it would hurt Ruan Shaotang's heart, and he just had to find a chance to send him away.
During dinner the day before, Lu Danqing and Wen Tingyun talked about leaving the house.
It has been more than two months since he entered the mansion, and the relationship with Wen Tingyun has also been developing well.
In fact, Wen Tingyun's personality is very simple, he is not a veteran in love, he is very calm and self-sustaining, and he is very polite.So even if he liked Wang Heng before, he never used power to threaten him, and he would not become angry from embarrassment but only hurt himself when he was repeatedly rejected by the other party.Although he brought two teenagers who looked similar to Wang Heng into the mansion out of selfishness, but that was also under the circumstances of your will, and there was no cross-border behavior.
However, thanks to Wang Heng not giving him any response, the two of them didn't interact much, Wen Tingyun didn't get too involved, Lu Danqing only needed to behave normally, and with the auxiliary effect of those dreams, Wen Tingyun's feelings for him quickly Just heat up and ferment, the two are now getting along almost like a couple.
Therefore, Wen Tingyun didn't object when Lu Danqing talked about going out to play, but just asked him if he needed a guard to accompany him.
Lu Danqing naturally refused. Having one more Ruan Shaotang is already troublesome, and it would not be worse if someone followed him.
"We'll be back after going out for a while, and it's daytime again, so we don't need guards."
Wen Tingyun made sense when he thought about it, but...
He looked up at Lu Danqing, the young man was indeed "growing his body" as he said, he had eaten and slept well in the past two months since entering the mansion, not only his height had grown a lot, but his face was not as thin as before.The appearance with a little more human fireworks is still gorgeous, but at the same time it is not lacking in elegance and naturalness. It is hard to tell whether it has become better or uglier, but Wen Tingyun feels that the current Lu Danqing can't move his eyes when he looks at it.
Seeing him staring at her, Lu Danqing asked, "What's wrong?"
The two had finished eating, the dishes were removed, and only two wine glasses and a jug of wine were placed on the table.
"Danqing looks really good-looking." Wen Tingyun said softly.
"The prince is also good-looking." Lu Danqing approached him with a smile, "The prince is the most beautiful, no one can compare to him." There was a bit of pride in his tone, as if he was happier than others praised himself.
Wen Tingyun's heart suddenly softened, and the boy's black eyes were as bright as if they were full of stars, illuminating his whole world without leaving any room.
After a few drinks, Wen Tingyun leaned on the couch to read a book, Lu Danqing sat down not far away holding the guqin, and plucked the seven strings with his slender index finger to test the tone a few times, and then lightly plucked and twirled slowly to play Melodious music.
The young man was beautiful, and under the dim candlelight, he was even more gentle and unparalleled. Wen Tingyun held the scroll in his hand, but looked at him motionlessly.
This kind of scene also appeared in the dream, he played the piano, he read a book, the candlelight danced, warming the room.
What do you want in this life.
After a while, Lu Danqing seemed to be sore from playing, so he stopped and turned his wrist.Seeing this, Wen Tingyun immediately put down his book and walked over, randomly moved a chair and sat down beside him, grabbed his hand and put it in his palm to rub and massage gently.
"Stop playing when you're tired."
Lu Danqing pursed his lips and smiled, and asked, "Does the lord like it?"
"I like it." Wen Tingyun said in a low voice, "But if you play for too long, I won't like it."
Lu Danqing continued to circle around with him: "If the prince likes it, it doesn't matter if he plays it longer."
Wen Tingyun smiled helplessly, and instead of continuing to circle around with him, he said instead: "Didn't you say that you can call me Zerong? Why did you call me Zerong?" Zerong is his word, and only a few close friends in the circle know it. That's what it's called, now Lu Danqing is the third one.
"It's easier to call the prince." Lu Danqing said, raising his eyebrows proudly, "And I'm the only one who calls out the word 'Wang Ye' in such a tone?"
The implication is that he is special and unique.
Wen Tingyun laughed, and no longer tried to force it, after all, Lu Danqing's mood is the most important thing.
******
The next day, Lu Danqing and Ruan Shaotang went out early.
Before leaving, Wen Tingyun took off the jade pendant he carried with him and gave it to Lu Danqing. He has several shops in the capital, including teahouses and restaurants. He told them to take this jade pendant to eat and drink for nothing when they were hungry, and then gave it to Lu Danqing again. A bag of silver, buy whatever you like.
Lu Danqing weighed the purse and happily set off with Ruan Shaotang.
They took a casual stroll first, and Wei Ran discovered that the residence of the emperor's nurse was not far away, so Lu Danqing intentionally led Ruan Shaotang there, shopping for breakfast along the way, and he didn't suspect anything.
After eating enough, Lu Shaotang found a handicraft shop that provided jade and wood for customers to carve by themselves.He was very interested, so he dragged Lu Danqing in to play. This stay lasted for more than an hour, and when the two of them came out with the finished product, they had almost digested what they had eaten in the morning.
Lu Danqing counted the time, and the emperor was about to come out from the nanny's residence, which was in the next street.He asked Ruan Shaotang to go to the street to buy sugar-fried chestnuts, and then he went to the next street to find Yun's Restaurant to sit down, order a few dishes first, and eat them immediately when he came.
Ruan Shaotang had no doubt about him, and readily agreed.
Lu Danqing quickened his pace and headed towards the target. Wei Ran signed a soul contract with him, and his consciousness was connected, so he told him: [My lord, the emperor is coming out soon, and he is saying goodbye to the wet nurse. 】
Lu Danqing said yes and buried his head in walking, thinking about what kind of opening should be appropriate after meeting.
Who knew that when he saw the vermilion gate that Wei Ran had told him about, he was stopped by someone. Lu Danqing looked up, and found that there were two scruffy, loosely dressed local hooligans.
"Yo, what kind of young master is this?"
The tall, thin man in the lead approached him maliciously, Lu Danqing took a step back, his face darkened.
Where did these two idiots come from, he finally waited until the emperor came out of the palace, if he dared to delay his business...
"Oh, are you angry? Don't be like this, just show me a smile." The tall and thin man reached out to touch his face, Lu Danqing sneered in his heart, it's not that he didn't dare to kill people, it's just that he was on the street On, it's too compelling.
He pursed his lips, pretending to be alarmed and said, "Who are you?"
The rabbit-like posture of the weak easily made the two of them relax their vigilance, pushing and shoving Lu Danqing into a dark alley.
Lu Danqing was only waiting to enter the alley with two idiots to start a killing ring. Unexpectedly, the hand of the tall and thin man was suddenly lifted away by a folding fan, and the seemingly light force made the gangster's entire arm Shake it vigorously.
Lu Danqing was taken aback for a moment, then looked up, and found that it was a face somewhat similar to Wen Tingyun's.But the outline is sharper and colder, and the eyes are calm and sharp.
It's Wen Tingyu.
Lu Danqing was relieved that the plan was not delayed, but when he looked at the two who were easily knocked to the ground, he sneered secretly. It was also considered that these two idiots were lucky and deserved their lives.
He thanked Wen Tingyu, and invited him to the nearby teahouse for a cup of tea as a thank you gift, but Wen Tingyu did not refuse.
His eyes fell on the jade pendant on the waist of the young man in white. He recognized the jade pendant as the fifth companion and also as a keepsake, which he rarely left.
They sat down at a table outside, and the two chatted briefly. Wen Tingyu asked Lu Danqing if he needed to send him back. Come out, he should be here soon."
"Young master is from Prince Rui's residence?"
Lu Danqing was taken aback for a moment, as if surprised at how he knew, his eyes widened slightly, like a cat.
Wen Tingyu smiled, and he said, "I'm Prince Rui's...friend."
"Ah...that's what it is."
Seeing that Lu Danqing believed it easily, Wen Tingyu didn't know what to say for a moment, thinking how could there be such a pure, good and deceitful person in the world?If it were anything else, a stranger who had just met told him that he was a friend of Prince Rui's today, and probably would only get a 'crazy' in exchange.
"Since you are the prince's friend, you won't be short of precious things." Lu Danqing said, taking out from his sleeves the little thing that Cai Cai and Ruan Shaotang carved in the handicraft shop just now, "I made this myself , if you don’t dislike it, I hope you can accept it, it’s a little bit of my heart.”
Wen Tingyu reached out to take it, it was a black string, carved out of emerald jade... er, a bird?
Lu Danqing asked him to guess what it was.
Wen Tingyu sized up the bird, then looked at Lu Danqing, and said tentatively, "Hmm... Quail?"
Lu Danqing: "..."
Excuseme? ? ? ? ?
He stared: "No, guess again."
Wen Tingyu couldn't help laughing at the childishness of the boy, continued to look at Yushi intently for a while, and said, "Uh...that's a duck?"
Lu Danqing: "..."
What's going on, his handwork is really so bad? !
Monster Lu stood up in anger, grabbed Wen Tingyu's hand and raised the jade in front of him, and said angrily, "No, look again! Look carefully!"
Lu Danqing's skin was slightly cool, but Wen Tingyu couldn't help being startled by the delicate touch, and it took a little effort to refocus his attention on the small pendant.
Two wings, two feet, a round head, a pointed beak, a body... Well, the oval body shape of the public is irrelevant.
Wen Tingyu gave a thoughtful answer: "Is it...a bird?"
"That's right! It's just an ordinary bird."
Lu Danqing said happily, let go of Wen Tingyu's hand and wanted to sit back in his seat.
The young man's high spirits caused Wen Tingyu to lose his mind for a moment, and then he felt light on his hands. He didn't even have time to think about the reason for the sudden sense of loss in his heart, and instinctively held back his hands before rationality.
Lu Danqing was startled, and tilted his head to look at him in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Wen Tingyu let go of his hand, a little annoyed at his impulsiveness: "No...it's nothing."
"Do you like it?" Lu Danqing lay on the table and looked at him expectantly, his eyes shining.
Really...
Wen Tingyu lowered his head and looked at the bird in his hand. Although it looked...uh, like a quail, a duck, and a bird, it was quite cute after a long look.
"I like it." He said softly, and smiled at Lu Danqing, "Thank you, I like it very much."
"That's good." Lu Danqing also smiled, showing a row of white teeth, very bright.
Wen Tingyu has never seen such a clean and bright smile. He has been taught to be elegant and reserved since he was a child, and he cannot express his feelings in front of others at will; and the people in front of him are cautious, even looking at him more They dare not; let alone women, their smiles are so sweet that they can pretend more than one.
"Lu Danqing!"
Just when Wen Tingyu was in a daze, a voice broke in suddenly.
"Where have you been? I can't find you anywhere!"
Ruan Shaotang grabbed Lu Danqing's arm, with beads of sweat on his face, his expression was both angry and frightened, and his voice couldn't help but raise his voice: "How can you run around without telling me! Don't leave me again, Do you hear me?"
"I see, I'm sorry."
Wen Tingyu watched with great interest as Lu Danqing softly comforted the young man in red, as skillfully as smoothing a cat's fur, and the domineering young man quickly calmed down, and then turned his wary eyes on him .
"Who is this?"
Lu Danqing said: "He is a friend of the prince."
"Who said that?"
"He said it."
"You believe what he says? Are you stupid, Lu Danqing?!" Ruan Shaotang pushed him angrily, but seemed worried, and quickly helped him stabilize the next second.
Typical soft-spoken and soft-hearted.
Wen Tingyu smiled, in fact, this is how a normal person should react to a stranger.
Lu Danqing and Ruan Shaotang explained what happened just now, but the red-clothed boy, who looked very difficult to be bullied, still did not let go of his vigilance, and just threw a few words at Wen Tingyu: "Oh, thank you."
"You're welcome." Wen Tingyu said with a smile.
Ruan Shaotang didn't like him—based on a small animal's intuition, he pulled Lu Danqing and wanted to leave, but he was grabbed by the wrist instead.
Lu Danqing grabbed Ruan Shaotang and asked Wen Tingyu, "I don't know your name yet?"
Wen Tingyu paused: "My surname is Wen, and my single name is Jun." He looked at Lu Danqing, with a smile on his lips, "What's your name?"
Ruan Shaotang stared, and secretly teased Lu Danqing to signal him not to speak, completely unaware that he had revealed his friend's name just now.
Those who are heartless are still heartless, Lu Danqing said without thinking: "Young Master Wen, my name is Lu Danqing."
Ruan Shaotang: "..."
He snorted, as if extremely angry, and before Wen Tingyu could say anything else, he dragged Lu Danqing away angrily.
In the teahouse, Wen Tingyu smiled and shook his head.It's a rare time to go out of the palace, but I didn't expect to meet an interesting person.And...it actually belongs to the fifth mansion.
He picked up the bird pendant on the tea table, intending to put it away, but paused when he saw the folding fan, then quickly changed his mind, and passed the black string with the bird through the hole at the bottom of the fan handle Round hole to hang pendant and fan together.
After returning to the palace, Sun Desheng, the eunuch who served him personally, took off his casual clothes and put on a yellow robe for him. When he was packing up his things, he noticed something extra on the fan, and he couldn't help but let out a 'huh'.
Wen Tingyu followed his gaze, thinking of the boy he saw in the morning, he smiled unconsciously.
"Come on, tell me, what does that pendant look like?"
The old eunuch: "Return to the emperor, is this... a quail?"
Wen Tingyu chuckled, as if seeing Lu Danqing being struck by lightning when he heard him say the word quail in the morning.
"No, guess again."
"...Um, it's a wild duck?"
Wen Tingyu laughed louder, and the old eunuch looked at his master in confusion.He grew up watching the emperor. Originally, Wen Tingyu was also a kid who loved to laugh and play, but it was a pity that his mother and concubine and the first emperor were too strict. Later, he learned to cover up and disguise himself. Since he became the throne, even the old eunuch who got along with him the most rarely saw him laughing so happily.
Wen Tingyu laughed enough, squinted at him and said, "Sun Desheng, you really deserve to be the one who took care of me when I grew up." His voice was still smiling.
The old eunuch bowed obediently: "Your Majesty is really annoyed old slave."
Wen Tingyu played with the bird and said, "You know, when I left the palace today, I ran into a person from Lao Wu's house."
"Prince Rui?"
"Yes, there is a young master in his house who looks good and has a very interesting personality." Wen Tingyu narrowed his eyes, "The boy's name is Lu Danqing, Sun Desheng, send someone to find out where he came from."
"Yes, slaves follow the order."
Wen Tingyu was the second among the first emperor's sons, and Wen Tingyun was the fifth. The two were not siblings from the same mother, so their relationship was not very close.
Currently there are four princes remaining in the capital besides Prince Rui Wen Tingyun. Because princes are titles rather than official positions, it is far from enough to rely on the taxation of the fiefdom alone, so most of the emperor's brothers will have a role in the court. A part-time job.

Ruan Shaotang grabbed Lu Danqing's arm, with beads of sweat on his face, his expression was both angry and frightened, and his voice couldn't help but raise his voice: "How can you run around without telling me! Don't leave me again, Do you hear me?"
"I see, I'm sorry."
Wen Tingyu watched with great interest as Lu Danqing softly comforted the young man in red, as skillfully as smoothing a cat's fur, and the domineering young man quickly calmed down, and then turned his wary eyes on him .
"Who is this?"
Lu Danqing said: "He is a friend of the prince."
"Who said that?"
"He said it."
"You believe what he says? Are you stupid, Lu Danqing?!" Ruan Shaotang pushed him angrily, but seemed worried, and quickly helped him stabilize the next second.
Typical soft-spoken and soft-hearted.
Wen Tingyu smiled, in fact, this is how a normal person should react to a stranger.
Lu Danqing and Ruan Shaotang explained what happened just now, but the red-clothed boy, who looked very difficult to be bullied, still did not let go of his vigilance, and just threw a few words at Wen Tingyu: "Oh, thank you."
"You're welcome." Wen Tingyu said with a smile.
Ruan Shaotang didn't like him—based on a small animal's intuition, he pulled Lu Danqing and wanted to leave, but he was grabbed by the wrist instead.
Lu Danqing grabbed Ruan Shaotang and asked Wen Tingyu, "I don't know your name yet?"
Wen Tingyu paused: "My surname is Wen, and my single name is Jun." He looked at Lu Danqing, with a smile on his lips, "What's your name?"
Ruan Shaotang stared, and secretly teased Lu Danqing to signal him not to speak, completely unaware that he had revealed his friend's name just now.
Those who are heartless are still heartless, Lu Danqing said without thinking: "Young Master Wen, my name is Lu Danqing."
Ruan Shaotang: "..."
He snorted, as if extremely angry, and before Wen Tingyu could say anything else, he dragged Lu Danqing away angrily.
In the teahouse, Wen Tingyu smiled and shook his head.It's a rare time to go out of the palace, but I didn't expect to meet an interesting person.And...it actually belongs to the fifth mansion.
He picked up the bird pendant on the tea table, intending to put it away, but paused when he saw the folding fan, then quickly changed his mind, and passed the black string with the bird through the hole at the bottom of the fan handle Round hole to hang pendant and fan together.
After returning to the palace, Sun Desheng, the eunuch who served him personally, took off his casual clothes and put on a yellow robe for him. When he was packing up his things, he noticed something extra on the fan, and he couldn't help but let out a 'huh'.
Wen Tingyu followed his gaze, thinking of the boy he saw in the morning, he smiled unconsciously.
"Come on, tell me, what does that pendant look like?"
The old eunuch: "Return to the emperor, is this... a quail?"
Wen Tingyu chuckled, as if seeing Lu Danqing being struck by lightning when he heard him say the word quail in the morning.
"No, guess again."
"...Um, it's a wild duck?"
Wen Tingyu laughed louder, and the old eunuch looked at his master in confusion.He grew up watching the emperor. Originally, Wen Tingyu was also a kid who loved to laugh and play, but it was a pity that his mother and concubine and the first emperor were too strict. Later, he learned to cover up and disguise himself. Since he became the throne, even the old eunuch who got along with him the most rarely saw him laughing so happily.
Wen Tingyu laughed enough, squinted at him and said, "Sun Desheng, you really deserve to be the one who took care of me when I grew up." His voice was still smiling.
The old eunuch bowed obediently: "Your Majesty is really annoyed old slave."
Wen Tingyu played with the bird and said, "You know, when I left the palace today, I ran into a person from Lao Wu's house."
"Prince Rui?"
"Yes, there is a young master in his house who looks good and has a very interesting personality." Wen Tingyu narrowed his eyes, "The boy's name is Lu Danqing, Sun Desheng, send someone to find out where he came from."
"Yes, slaves follow the order."
