The second man is dedicated to his career

"Master Wuji, wait a moment."

As soon as Qingkong opened his mouth, Yuan Wuji stopped. In fact, he had been waiting for Qingkong to speak.

On the way to send him out of the princess mansion, Qingkong showed a hesitant expression several times, Yuan Wuji guessed that she had something to say, but probably out of some concerns, she seemed to be hesitant.

Seeing that Yuan Wuji stopped, Qing Kong took two quick steps, and only whispered a word when he was in front of Yuan Wuji, and then backed away, respectfully sending Yuan Wuji away.

What Qingkong said was to ask Yuan Wuji to wait for her in Tianxiang Building an hour later, she has something to say to Yuan Wuji.

With Qingkong's words, Yuan Wuji didn't rush back to the original mansion, but wandered around the capital casually, and arrived at Tianxiang Tower an incense stick earlier.

Tianxianglou is a restaurant in the city. This restaurant is mainly private, and many people will choose to talk about things here.

Not long after Yuan Wuji sat down, the clear sky came over.

After a salute to Yuan Wuji, Qingkong said slowly, "Young Master Wuji, please be careful of the royal family."

Qingkong successfully aroused Yuan Wuji's interest with one sentence, because Yuan himself was just a cannon fodder character in a novel, and the world plot line given was incomplete.

In the relevant plots of the original itself, except that his grandmother is the eldest princess, it seems that there is not much connection with the royal family, but Qingkong is the eldest maid next to the eldest princess, and she is obviously not just talking about it.

Yuan Wuji straightened his expression: "What does Aunt Qingkong mean?"

"The servant girl can't afford to be an aunt like a son..."

Qingkong wanted to refuse, but she was stunned for a moment when she met Uehara Wuji's gaze, and she said with some sentimentality: "The young master really looks like the princess, I really don't know how the master can be so cruel and ignore the young master."

Qingkong sighed a few words, as if she realized that she was pulling away, she smiled embarrassedly, and then continued: "I'm sorry, my lord, this servant is getting old, it's inevitable that I feel a little sad when I see you and think of the princess."

"It's okay, what does Aunt Qingkong mean by telling me to be careful of the royal family? I don't think I have any connection with the royal family, except for my grandmother?"

"It's a long story, and the slaves didn't understand the whole thing, but the princess suddenly wants to marry Master Yuan, which is very strange."

Qingkong told Yuan Wuji something about Princess Lin.

This happened to be what Yuan Wuji wanted to know.

Qingkong spoke very clearly, she said that she didn't know much, but in fact she even introduced to Yuan Wuji about the Eldest Princess.

Princess Dachang is the younger sister of the first emperor. After marrying Lord Hou, the couple had a very good relationship and had a son and a daughter.

The first emperor had many heirs, but the first empress passed away early and did not leave any legitimate sons, so the battle for the rightful inheritance was quite fierce back then.

At that time, there were six princes who were able to compete for the reserve position, and the one who finally ascended to the great treasure was the first prince, who is now the emperor.

For the sake of the throne, the princes will win over the court forces overtly and secretly, and marriage is not the fastest and safest way.

Back then, the eldest prince asked Princess Dachang and Lord Lin Hou to marry Princess Lin, and both Princess Dachang and Lord Lin Hou agreed.

When Yuan Wuji heard this, he heard the problem. If there were no accidents, the person Princess Lin should marry is the current emperor, but she ended up marrying Yuan Pei...

"Mother, she... the one she loves is my father. Wouldn't you marry if it wasn't my father?"

Yuan Wuji guessed and asked.

If so, the eldest princess' attitude is not so strange.

Qingkong shook her head: "The Princess and the Holy One grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Both the master and the son-in-law agreed, and the Princess naturally had no objections. Besides...the Princess didn't know Lord Yuan at that time."

"That is?"

"Although the Holy Majesty hadn't proposed marriage to the princess at that time, it was only a matter of time. The princess often entered the palace, and neither the master nor the son-in-law stopped him. Only once, after the princess came back from the palace, she seemed a little uncomfortable. It's too good, and her face is paler than ever before. The servant was careful that the princess wanted to ask for an imperial doctor, but the princess stopped the servant and told the servant not to tell anyone about it, including her entering the palace that day. "

When Qingkong said this and looked at Yuan Wuji, he paused for a moment before continuing: "For so many years, this servant has never told anyone. Since that day, the Princess has become a little strange. She often She locked herself in the room by herself, and every time someone from the palace came to invite her, she also said that she couldn't shirk her illness. Even after Enke released the rankings, she took the initiative to tell the master that she would marry Tan Hualang."

Princess Lin's sudden change back then was not only incomprehensible to Princess Dachang and Lin Houye, but even Qingkong felt strange, but she became more and more sure that something extraordinary must have happened in the palace that day, so that she could not understand it. It made Princess Lin want to stay away from the palace.

Qingkong even felt that when Princess Lin wanted to marry Yuanpei, it was not because she really fell in love with Yuanpei, but because she wanted to escape.

Regardless of parents' objection, quickly finalize the wedding date, and then get married quickly.

Qingkong told Yuan Wuji that this was his subjective feeling, but something must have happened in the palace that day.

Yuan Wuji also thought so, but he still asked tentatively: "Aunt Qingkong, my mother... shouldn't have anything to do with the current Holy Majesty, right?"

Qingkong was stunned for a moment, and then realized what Yuan Wuji meant.

"My lord, don't think about it. The princess is clean and self-conscious. It is absolutely impossible to have an intimate relationship with a man before getting married. You are definitely Mr. Yuan's own son."

That's it.

It’s not enough for Princess Lin to run with the ball, otherwise this task may become more complicated...

It's just that this inevitably has some relationship with the royal family.

Although according to Qingkong's narration, Princess Lin and the current Holy Majesty were more like a political marriage, but do these two have any feelings for each other?

"Aunt Qingkong, you told me to be careful of the royal family, but because you are afraid that the current sage will be hated because of love?"

"No."

Yuan Wuji originally thought that he would get a vague answer, but Qingkong told him with certainty that it was not.

"The princess and the sage grew up together as childhood sweethearts. At that time, except for the eldest prince, the other princes grew up together the same way for the princess. There is not much difference. It is only because the master and the son-in-law chose the eldest prince. The lord became closer to the eldest prince. At that time, the eldest prince probably had similar feelings towards the princess. He just wanted to marry the princess as his concubine, but it was not that Fei Qing would not marry him. At that time, the eldest prince already had a side concubine and a concubine. gone."

Yuan Wuji rubbed his knuckles while listening to Qingkong's words.

If what Qingkong said is true, then all these problems may have to be traced back to those years... What happened to Princess Lin in the palace?

"Thank you, Aunt Qingkong, for being willing to tell Wuji about this, Wuji is very grateful."

Yuan Wuji stood up, but Qingkong seemed to know what Yuan Wuji wanted to do in advance, and supported him.

"Young Master Wuji, this servant can't afford it. The reason this servant told you this is because the Princess was raised by a servant since she was a child, and she was pitiful for leaving early. You are his only child... Although I don't know what happened back then. What, but I don't want you to step into this quagmire."

It took a lot of time for Qingkong to finish talking to Yuan Wuji. She got up and was about to leave, but before she left, she remembered something.

"By the way, there is another thing that is a little strange. Although the master wanted to marry the princess to the eldest prince, he has always been friendly to the fifth prince."

And this kind of thing?

Yuan Wuji felt that this was not just strange.

Back then when several princes took over the heir apparent, since the Eldest Princess chose to marry her daughter to the Eldest Prince, it was tantamount to automatically standing in line with the Eldest Prince. What kind of coquettish operation is this good for the Fifth Prince?

Such a half-hearted person, isn't he afraid of offending both sides?

And... If the eldest prince is marrying a daughter, then how did the eldest princess convince the fifth prince that she intends to form an alliance with the fifth prince?

Yuan Wuji felt that the Eldest Princess was really weird.

After sending Qing Kong away, Yuan Wuji decided to investigate the Fifth Prince carefully, oh, it should be said that he is the King of Xian now.

Of the few princes who failed to seize the heirloom back then, only Xian Wang survived.

It seems that there must be some kind of deal between the eldest princess and Xian Wang.

After Yuan Wuji left the Yuan Mansion, Yuan Pei and Mrs. Zhang immediately called for a doctor.

After the doctor confirmed that Yuan Xiyuan's life was not in danger, Mrs. Zhang's heart that had been suspended was slightly relieved.

Compared with Zhang's intense concern, Yuan Pei seemed a little absent-minded.

"Master? Master!"

Zhang's voice raised a lot, which made Yuan Pei respond.

Seeing that Yuan Pei was still distracted after his son was like this, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but start a fight with him.

"Master, you don't care about Yuan'er now. Are you still thinking about the Eldest Young Master? The Eldest Young Master wants to force our mother and son to death! Master, you have to decide for the concubine and Yuan'er!"

Hearing Zhang's voice getting louder, Yuan Pei couldn't help frowning.

"Then what exactly do you want? He just came back without trace, so you must make trouble in the house?"

"Master, what do you mean by that? Isn't the eldest son the one who wants to disturb the house? The eldest son is aggressive, bullying my concubine and Yuan'er like this, is he trying to force my mother and child to death?"

"enough!"

Yuan Pei finally couldn't stand Zhang's chattering, and he looked at Zhang with sharper eyes: "You have to remember your identity, you are not my concubine, but also my wife, show some openness, don't always care That little thing. Speaking of far away, it's not all because of you being spoiled! If he keeps going like this, there will be troubles waiting for him in the future!"

Yuan Pei flicked his sleeves and was about to leave. Mrs. Zhang saw that he seemed to be really angry. Only then did she realize the seriousness of the problem. She grabbed Yuan Pei's sleeves to prevent him from leaving.

"Okay, what does it look like to pull and pull?"

Yuan Pei shook off Zhang's hand, and couldn't help but warn her: "Be more honest recently, don't take revenge on those ordinary people because of Yuan'er's affairs. Wuji will make this matter a big deal, I'm afraid the higher ups I'll know, don't make trouble for me."

Yuan Pei didn't care about the life and death of those people, nor did he care about the feelings of Zhang's mother and son. What he cared most about was his own power and official position.

It doesn't matter how these things are caused in private, but if the Holy One finds out, the problem will be serious.

Although his eldest son is indeed a bit arrogant, he is no better than those ordinary people.

Those ordinary people can't see the emperor, and no matter how much they make a fuss, they can't turn the sky around, but Yuan Wuji is different...

If Yuan Wuji really saw the emperor, he would sue him in front of the emperor...

It wasn't until this time that Yuan Pei clearly realized that this eldest son was completely different from what he had imagined.

If he knew that Yuan Wuji had such a personality, he might as well raise this son well from the beginning, which is no better than raising that dude Yuan Xiyuan.

The balance in Yuan Pei's heart has gradually tilted towards Yuan Wuji.

His eldest son is crazy and ruthless enough, but only a ruthless person can get along well in the officialdom, especially the relationship with his mother, which is more conducive to his online climbing.But, how can the elder son be obedient?

The calculations in Yuan Pei's mind were "cracking", anyway, they are all his sons, so which one is not cultivated?

Yuan Wuji took Mao Mao with him, and after buying a bunch of things, Mao Mao was just about to pay, but was stopped by Yuan Wuji.

"Sir?"

"Maomao, I grew up on medicine all the time, and I used all my savings to give my grandmother a birthday gift a while back. Now that I'm back in Beijing, I want to buy some gifts for my father and younger brothers, but I'm so shy... "

Yuan Wuji blinked at Mao Mao while talking.

Mao Mao: "..."

Mao Mao's hand that reached into his sleeve to take out the money stopped suddenly.

It's not that he said, with the banknotes in his sleeve, it's not a problem at all to buy this store... If it's all about being poor, then there may be no rich people in this world.

And the young master is really spending money into the water during this time, without blinking his eyes.Why now...

Of course, Mao Mao's biggest advantage is... It doesn't matter if you don't understand, just cooperate with the young master.

Seeing Mao Mao go on the road, Yuan Wuji turned his head and said to the shopkeeper: "I'm really sorry, I am the eldest son of Yuan Peiyuan's servant, these things are sent to the house, and the shopkeeper can go directly to the house to collect the money."

The shopkeeper looked at Yuan Wuji suspiciously. To be honest, he only knew that there was a dandy in the Yuan Shilang's family, but he had never seen such a handsome young man.But looking at Yuan Wuji's dressing style, he probably wouldn't lie to him.

A rare big customer, the shopkeeper finally decided to send someone to send the things to the original mansion to collect the money, if it is true, wouldn't he make money?

It wasn't until he left the store that Mao Mao couldn't help asking: "Master, why are you doing this? Aren't we rich?"

"Of course it is to let my father experience the joy of being a father. He already has a son of a dandy, so he shouldn't care about having another son of a prodigal son."

Yuan Wuji's expression when he said this made Mao Mao feel that he was quite happy being a prodigal son.

Yuan Wuji was really happy being a prodigal son. He didn't just go to one store, but several stores in succession.

As a result, truckloads of things were transported to Yuanfu.

Knowing that it was bought by the eldest son, the steward first reported to Yuan Pei, who then paid for it.

However, Yuan Pei couldn't bear the loads of stuff after that.

Yuan Wuji just wanted to see how Yuan Pei would react if he couldn't sit still, the more he did, the more he would reveal.

After confirming that he had spent enough of Yuan Pei's rage, Yuan Wuji was finally ready to go home.

On the way home, he ran into the small vendor he had seen yesterday.
