Are you full, sweetie?

The cruise ship was quickly prepared, the main ship was like a dragon boat, and there were two parked beside it. One ship had guards and other guards to guard against assassins, and the other ship prepared food and fruits for the main ship.

The surrounding scenery of Xunyan Lake is extremely beautiful, and there are more tourists than other places. Yunze stopped the boat in a place with dense aquatic plants and fished for half an hour.

Because the lake is so big, I didn't see Yu Jingmo and the others this time.

Yu Jingmo's painting boat is full of his friends, because he just met Qu Yuncheng, and seeing that Qu Yuncheng has a very friendly attitude towards Yun Ze, they were worried that Yun Ze and Qu Yuncheng were friends, and Yun Ze would not say something for a while.

Although these people came from famous families, since the regent came to Beijing, all the balance was broken, and their backgrounds often didn't work.

Du Jin's complexion was not very good, because he caused the incident, he was afraid that he would be in trouble if he turned around, so he hurriedly said to Jing Mo: "Your Majesty, a group of us offended Yun Ze, and I don't know if we will be tripped by him when we look back. One day I will set up a table in Jinyu Tower to make amends? It's all because I was obsessed with ghosts just now, and I feel resentful when I see him fascinated by so many young ladies."

Yu Jingmo blamed Du Jin and Han Zixin in his heart, he couldn't show it, so he smiled dryly and said: "It just so happens that I know his cousin Wang Xihe, so people invite Wang Xihe to swim in the lake to see if he can do it." Can't think of a way. Xiaoji, you go to Fuguo Duke's Mansion to invite Prince Wang."

Fuguo Duke's Mansion is not too far from here, and Wang Xihe came over in less than half an hour.

Wang Xihe was taking a nap at first, but when he heard Yu Jingmo's boy said that there was something urgent, he quickly got up and came over. After hearing a few words, his expression was extremely ugly: "I think the sky is falling, and you can call me something as big as a sesame mung bean." Me? It made me ride a horse and almost step on someone."

Yu Jingmo poured him a cup of tea to apologize: "Prince Wang, drink tea."

Wang Xihe took a sip of tea to moisten his throat: "It's not good for you to provoke anyone, but why did you provoke him? He really has a good temper and doesn't hold grudges against you, but if he—"

After talking halfway, Wang Xihe stopped talking, and he sneered: "You can wish for yourselves."

Yu Jingmo took a fan and fanned Wang Xihe: "Young Master Wang, we are friends, you can just finish what you have said, don't hide half of it and make us worry about it."

Wang Xihe said: "Yun Ze will not hold grudges against you because of some quarrels, at most he will not interact with you. When you run on him, will he have any guards accompanying him?"

Everyone couldn't remember clearly, Yu Jingmo thought for a while: "I didn't see it."

Wang Xihe breathed a sigh of relief.

There was no boy to file a complaint, so it was unlikely that Yun Ze would specifically bring this matter up to Zhong Xing.

After hearing about Meng Biao's fate, Wang Xihe has always been afraid of Zhong Xing.Zhong Xing's pinching anyone present was like pinching an ant. During this period of time, the major families kept a low profile as long as they could.

Yu Jingmo took Wang Xihe into the cabin to drink, and he said: "A few days ago, I heard a rare incident. The Liu family in Xincheng and the Chen family in Fujun had a falling out. These two generations of in-laws are very powerful in the southeast. Your family should have a good relationship with the two of them, but you turned your back on it when you said you would."

Wang Xihe's family had a sister who married into their family, and he was really attracted by this matter: "Oh? Do you know why?"

"Probably has something to do with the regent." Yu Jingmo lowered his voice, "The Chen family is quite favored by the regent. They were promoted during this period, but the Liu family was suppressed. Some power of the Liu family has been divided into the hands of the Chen family. It seems that there are villains among them." Sow discord between the two."

Both the Liu family and the Chen family are aristocratic families who are in charge of the Southeast Navy and have a lot of power in their hands. Even Wang Xihe's grandfather Fu Guogong gave these two families face.Two years ago, the Liu family intended to marry their daughter to Wang Xihe, because Wang Xihe refused when he heard that the young lady of the Liu family did not study much.

The Wang family didn't know about this matter, which shows how secret this matter is.Because Wang, Chen, and Liu have a good relationship, it is very helpful to know this matter at this time.

Wang Xihe saw that Yu Jingmo was selling favors to himself.

Yu Jingmo is well-rounded in the Ming capital, and has more friends than others. Others say that he has no intention of official career, but Wang Xihe thinks that may not be the case.

Now that the situation in Mingdu has been settled, basically no one is willing to offend the power of the regent; Yu Jingmo is unwilling to make any mistakes, and does not want to have an antagonism with this side.

From last year to this year, many things seem to have not changed, but in fact they have been touched by Liaozhou forces a lot.At the beginning of the new year last year, no matter in the Ming capital or in the local area, the majority of forces supported the emperor. When ordinary people mentioned Zhong Xing, they either said that he was "ugly in face and evil in heart" or "ruthless".

After the Changjun refugee incident, some people began to feel that the regent handled things very well.

Although the civil and military officials complained about the regent's killing of Changjun and Yangshan officials, they thought it was too heavy, but the people felt very happy, especially those displaced victims. Why is it fair? It's not that this kind of thing has never happened before, but in most cases, due to the complicated network of officials involved in the crime, they are relegated, and even relegated to a higher level within a few years.

Although the regent was indeed a bit cruel, at least he didn't go to the street to kill ordinary people casually, and most of the people talked about him and were not arrested by his subordinates and put in prison.

In contrast, it seems that the dandy young master who hangs around the street all day and incidentally flirts with beautiful women has a greater influence on ordinary people.

If ordinary people are well-informed, they will find that Zhong Xing's reputation in Liaozhou is actually good. Although his cold temperament is frightening, the people of Liaozhou obey his rule.

After Yu Jingmo sold his favor, he couldn't help confirming the matter again: "Xihe, after today's incident, will Yunze really not trip me up in the future?"

"My cousin is round on the outside and square on the inside. You must have heard about his character. His moral character is the same as the rumors. He is not a villain who will take revenge. Today is just a little quarrel. He will only alienate you and will not seek revenge." Wang Xihe He reminded, "After Yun Yang committed crimes, Marquis An Le came to my residence many times. He wanted to abolish Yun Yang's position as son and make Yunze his son again."

Yu Jingmo was slightly surprised.

If Yunze really became the eldest son of the Marquis of Anle, no one would dare to treat him slowly anymore.

Yu Jingmo said: "I didn't get the position of son before, is it because Yunyang's methods are too powerful?"

"Probably because of this," Wang Xihe said, "Actually, I can't figure out my cousin either."

Sometimes Yunze looks innocent and won't use any means to harm others, but sometimes it makes people think that he is actually very transparent. It seems that he doesn't care about it so much, so he doesn't learn these things means.

So what is it that he really cares about?

Wang Xihe wanted both fame and fortune, official fortune, prosperity, and a glorious family. On the surface, Yu Jingmo was pursuing these things in secret, and Yun Yang, Zhong Mao and others were pursuing it in the same way.

Yunze seemed to be satisfied with a little food and drink. Wang Xihe knew that Yunze used his assets to open a large pharmacy in Mingdu. Chinese pharmacies always subsidize some widows, old people and young children without much profit.

The highest kindness is like water, water benefits all things without competition, Wang Xihe looked down at the blue lake water outside the boat window, maybe this cousin wanted to be a free flowing water.

Wang Xihe and Yu Jingmo came out of the cabin after talking for a long time.

The three boats not far away are quite conspicuous. The leading dragon boat is magnificent and luxurious, and everyone can't help but discuss: "Whose boat is this? Has any prince traveled?"

Zhong Xing didn't let his men clear the field, Yunze only caught two or three fish after fishing for a long time, because they were only palm-sized and put them back.

He lay down comfortably on the couch in the cabin, and took two cherries by the way.

Zhong Xing closed his eyes to rest, and Yun Ze saw that he was handsome in sleep, and his deep eyebrows were a little sharper when he was not smiling.

After that, a hand was put on Yunze's waist, Zhong Xing kissed Yunze's neck for a moment, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

When the boat docked, Zhong Xing hadn't woken up yet, and the sky was getting dark. The two of them stayed on the boat for a few hours, and Yunze saw that there were lantern sellers on the shore, so he also wanted to buy some to put on the water.

He personally went to the hawker's stall on the shore to choose.

Yun Ze picked out two lotus-shaped and two peony-shaped lanterns, and suddenly saw Tang Xiaowu next to An Lehou.

Yunze had dealt with people around An Lehou before, and they were fairly familiar with each other, so Yunze nodded and was about to leave.

Tang Xiaowu said: "Master heard from the eldest son of the Yu family that you appeared here today, so he came to look for you with me, but we did find you. Can you give me a favor, sir, so that we can meet the master together?"

An Lehou recognized Zhong Xing's cruise ship just now on the shore, and specially asked Tang Xiaowu to wait here.

Yunze doesn't want to have any more contact with An Lehou, he has seen the true face of An Lehou, and he no longer has any hope.

"Please tell father that I don't want to see him for the time being."

Tang Xiaowu was a little anxious: "My lord, the master knows that he is sorry for you, and he did something wrong in inviting you to be crowned prince. But he came here today not entirely because of this matter, but because he wants to tell you a secret."

Yun Ze was puzzled.

The guard following Yunze said: "This man doesn't know what he is talking nonsense, young master, let's go back, His Highness is still waiting for you."

Tang Xiaowu said: "Everything I say is true."

Yunze thought for a moment: "Where is father now?"

Tang Xiaowu pointed to a nearby teahouse.

Yun Ze thought that An Lehou might want to tell him some big news, for example, that he was not his own child, that's why his attitude was so bad, it seemed impossible, what was the secret?Isn't Yunyang his own?Was it entrusted by his best friend?

In just a moment, Yunyang thought of the TV series he had watched and all the strange and bloody plots in the novels.

In any case, let's go and watch the excitement, and see what An Lehou can say with his rhetoric.

Yunze walked over with him, he turned his head and said to the guards: "You don't have to follow me, you go back and tell the county king that I will be back within a stick of incense."

Maybe it was because of the shaking on the boat, Zhong Xing slept for a long time this time, after waking up, a guard served ginseng tea, and he took a sip: "Where's Yunze?"

"Young Master saw that the lanterns sold on the shore were beautiful, so he said he would go down and pick some up."

Lantern.

Zhong Xing didn't have much interest in these delicate and useless things, and he hadn't been exposed to them since he was a child.If Yunze liked it, these might be very interesting things.

Just now, in his sleep, he vaguely returned to the time when he was still in Liaowang's mansion in Liaozhou more than 20 years ago.

There are a few thin slices of ginseng floating on the tea, with a slightly bitter aroma. Zhong Xing's mother, Meng Shi, was originally a servant girl in the palace. The concubine and side concubine all like Mengshi. The clothes Mengshi wears are silk and satin, which is much more comfortable than some concubines who have been disfavored all the year round.

After giving birth to him, all the glory was lost. Liao Wang had many concubines, and some of the ones who were left out were very beautiful, and the Meng family was not outstanding among them.The concubine and side concubine who had treated her well all despised her and believed that she deliberately seduced the drunk King Liao. Like other concubines, the Meng family got a yard.

It is said that old King Liao was very skilled in bed, and he was full of energy when he was old. A concubine is pregnant.

So suddenly there were two boys born in the same month as Zhong Xing.

Everyone else cared about the maidservant's birth, but the concubine didn't take Meng Shi and Zhong Xing seriously, but the official of Liaozhou divination cared about it very much. He specifically told King Liao that the other two sons were rich and noble, and only Zhong Xing ordered his relatives to be tough. .

Prince Liao had a lot of daughters, even if some of them died young, many grew up safely, and the only ones he favored were the children born to the princess and the beautiful side concubine.

King Liao would not devote too much energy to a child like Zhong Xing whose fate was bad for his mother and who was disrespectful, just let him grow up.

The appearance of Zhong Xing ruined Meng Shi's supposedly stable and decent life. Although Meng Shi didn't dislike him, he didn't like him too much.

At first, Zhong Xing was taken to another place to be raised, and he grew up with other brothers whose biological mothers were humble. The other brothers’ biological mothers occasionally brought food to visit. Later, they couldn’t bear the suffering and died a few, and their biological mothers cried Very sad.

Warm hot water flowed into the throat, Zhong Xing knuckles tapped twice on the table, a guard came in and said: "Your Highness, Mr. Yun was called by the servants of An Lehou's mansion, and the young master told you to wait for him for a stick of incense." time."

The guard put the lantern bought by Yunze on the table in front of Zhong Xing.

Zhong Xing casually took a peony lantern, made of colored paper, with a small candle in the middle.

At this time, Yun Ze was already sitting in front of An Lehou.
