Little Dandy, He's a Little Good

The emperor smiled helplessly when he heard the words, "You are in good health now, so don't run around and get tired. It's not suitable for them to enter the palace at this juncture, so let's talk about it when you are better."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to be afraid that Yu Jingdu would not feel relieved, and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter, and you will not be implicated for nothing."

Yu Jingdu's eyes darkened when he heard the words, "Father, is there anything in this world that you don't care about?"

"What do you care about?" The emperor thought for a while, "Probably Jiangshan and you."

"Does the emperor know what my son cares most about?" Yu Jingdu asked.

"What is it?"

"My son is most concerned about the Northern Army." Yu Jingdu said.

The Northern Guard Army he mentioned was the Frontier Army mentioned by other people, and it got its name because its job was to guard the border of the dynasty.

"Erchen went to the barracks of the Northern Army when he was young. He didn't understand anything at that time, and he just felt disheartened when he went there. The winter at the border gate is very long. From the late autumn in the capital, it is considered winter at the border gate. It won't warm up until March and April in the capital." Yu Jingdu looked at the emperor, "In the first year my son went to the border, half of his ears were almost frozen off, and it was used by veterans in the army. The native method helped Erchen heal the frostbite."

The emperor frowned, feeling a little guilty in his heart.

But Yu Jingdu stopped talking, and quickly changed the topic, "I have seen the soldiers of the Northern Army guarding the border all these years, and I have never lost an inch of my court for several years. Sometimes I will endure I can't help thinking, there is also a part of my son's hard work here."

Yu Jingdu's body has not yet fully recovered, and if he is too emotional when speaking, his breathing will be a little stagnant.

Seeing him like this, the emperor felt even more uncomfortable when thinking of his illness.

When the other sons were all well-clothed and well-fed in Beijing, he threw this son to the border, and he threw it for several years.It is impossible to say that he does not regret or feel distressed. After all, he is his own son, and he is also the most accomplished one.

Especially when Yu Jingdu was seriously ill, he regretted his original decision countless times.

"I have been in the border all these years, and I have long been inseparable from the Beibei Army. They make a fuss about the relationship between the Erchen and the Beibei Army. They want to harm not only the Erchen, but also the reputation of the Beibei Army. Tens of thousands of soldiers Can they put into practice the reputation they have gained through years of bloody battles?" Yu Jingdu couldn't help coughing twice when he talked about his excitement.

"Your Highness." Li Feng who was on the side hurriedly stepped forward to pat him on the back and said, "Your Highness, don't get angry, the imperial doctor said that if you have a bad life these days, you will fall into the root of the disease again."

Yu Jingdu helped Li Feng's arm to get up, and suddenly knelt down in front of the emperor.

The emperor was already worried, but when he saw him kneeling down, he was taken aback, feeling distressed and surprised at the same time.

"Father, I can't wait for this matter, please allow me to go to see the Rong family father and son." After Yu Jingdu finished speaking, he was about to kowtow to him.

The emperor supported him and said, "What are you doing? I don't ask you to go because I'm afraid you will be troubled. If you want to go, I will allow it. If you don't, it's okay to let their father and son enter the palace again."

"Thank you, Father." Yu Jingdu got up now, "Your minister should go to Dali Temple in person, it is always more convenient to ask questions in Dali Temple than in the palace."

The emperor didn't think too much when he heard the words. After all, there were certain things that the Rong family and his son would not dare to say in front of him, but if Yu Jingdu knew how to ask, he should be able to ask more things.

"Let Laifu accompany you." The emperor said.

Yu Jingdu was startled, then nodded.

"It's not that I don't believe you, but I'm worried that someone will make irresponsible remarks about this matter in the future." The emperor said, "Let Laifu follow you, and they won't find fault with you if they want to make arrangements in the future."

"Thank you, Father." Yu Jingdu hurriedly thanked him.

So, at dusk that day, Yu Jingdu took Laifu to Dali Temple.

When the news reached Jiang Jiyan's ears, they were already on their way.

Jiang Jiyan didn't care about anything else, so he hurried to the prison immediately.

In the prison, Rong Zhuo was moaning around the quilt, while Father Rong was holding an ointment to apply the medicine to the rash on his neck.

"Hurry up, hurry up! Open the door!" Jiang Jiyan ordered before he got there.

The jailer hurriedly opened the cell door and stood aside waiting.

After Jiang Jiyan went in, he looked at Rong Zhuo for a while, with a helpless expression on his face.

Rong Zhuo is now wearing a gray cotton robe that comes standard in a Dali Temple cell. His hair is messed up because he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep last night. There are red rashes on his exposed neck and cheeks. It is not known whether he was bitten or not. Mild allergies.

"How about your hair..." Jiang Jiyan wanted to stretch out his hand to smooth his messy hair as he spoke.

"What are you doing?" Rong Zhuo quickly hid back.

"His Highness is coming." Jiang Jiyan said.

"Which Your Highness?" Rong Zhuo asked.

"Which other Highness is there?"

Naturally, His Royal Highness the Banquet King!

Rong Zhuo was startled, "Didn't he just wake up? Shouldn't he be lying on the bed right now?"

"Who knows what's crazy." Jiang Jiyan said and wanted to help Rong Zhuo fix his hair.

"What are you doing?" Rong Zhuo avoided his hand in disgust.

"It's okay." Jiang Jiyan naturally couldn't say that he was afraid that Yan Wang would get angry when he saw Rong Zhuo's appearance, and would vent his anger on himself.

After all, people came in through his hand, even if he just followed orders, he still had to bear a little bit of anger.

"Jiang Shaoqing, does His Royal Highness the Banquet King want to see us?" Rong Qinghuai asked.

"Yes, but His Majesty's Eunuch Laifu also came with him." Jiang Jiyan hurriedly said, "When you meet His Highness, you must be careful about what to say and what not to say. Think about it carefully."

Naturally, Rong Qinghuai knew how powerful it was, so he nodded hurriedly.

Rong Zhuo didn't know what to think of, a little distracted.

"Jiang Shaoqing, Your Majesty has sent people around to follow His Highness Yan Wang, are you worried, do you want to test him?" Rong Qinghuai asked again.

"It's hard to say, maybe it's to protect His Highness, lest others make a fuss about him coming to see you privately in the future." Jiang Jiyan said.

After all, Lai Fu was the most respectable servant by the emperor's side, and under normal circumstances, the emperor would not easily instruct him to follow others.

So having Laifu by his side was, in a sense, a sign of the emperor's favor.

"I have to go out first." After Jiang Jiyan finished speaking, he glanced at Rong Zhuo again, still feeling the urge to comb his hair, otherwise His Highness would feel distressed if he saw His Highness Yan Wang in such a distressed state.

In fact, Rong Zhuo and Rong's father were quite taken care of by Jiang Jiyan in this prison.

But a big prison is a big prison after all, no matter how you take care of it, it is impossible to be as comfortable inside as it is outside.

It's only been a day, and he has already made himself like an old prisoner.

Jiang Jiyan came to report a letter and then slipped away.

After a while, someone came and took the Rong family father and son out.

Rong Zhuo followed the jailer obediently along the way, not daring to speak too much.

He didn't know why Yu Jingdu came to see them at this time, and he also brought the emperor's cronies with him, which made him a little uneasy.

In addition, since he learned of Yu Jingdu's identity, this was the first time he saw Yu Jingdu sober, so he felt a little uneasy.

After the two were brought to the interrogation room, Rong Zhuo kept his head down.

When Rong Qinghuai saluted, he saluted with them, and it wasn't until Yu Jingdu asked them to excuse him that Rong Zhuo sneaked a glance at the other party, but after meeting the other party's gaze, he hurriedly looked away.

It has to be said that after Yu Jingdu regained his identity, he revealed all the sharpness he had deliberately restrained in the past, which was quite coercive.Even though his face is pale now and he doesn't look energetic, he still can't hide the cold and stern aura around him.

At that moment, Rong Zhuo felt a little sore in his heart.

Because he finally realized that his good friend Qingshi was missing.

Only His Royal Highness Yan Wang is here now.

This person is strong, deep, and lofty. Apart from his appearance, it is really difficult for him to imagine the other party and Qingshi as one person.

Yu Jingdu had a panoramic view of the young man's emotional changes, and felt very uncomfortable.

In fact, since he entered the interrogation room, he has been restraining his emotions, but when Rong Zhuo came in from the door, he still could hardly restrain himself.Because the boy standing in front of him was wearing a gray cotton robe, his hair was messy, his eyes were a little red, and there were many rashes on his neck and face. He looked embarrassed and pitiful.

At that moment, Yu Jingdu's heart was almost overwhelmed by distress and guilt.

He clearly knows that the reason why the boy is going through all this now is all because of him.

He is obviously a pampered person, but he has to be imprisoned for him.

He is obviously a person who is best at seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. In order to avoid the prince's solicitation, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his own future and reputation, but he took the initiative to stand up for him and completely stirred himself into this muddy water.

But all of Yu Jingdu's emotions just flashed across his face.

Laifu didn't even notice the change in his mood, he had already returned to normal.

"My lord has a few things I want to ask you." Yu Jingdu said, "Please tell the truth, both of you."

"His Royal Highness, please tell me." Rong Qinghuai hurriedly said.

"According to what you said earlier, you knew about this matter before this king entered the capital, right?" Yu Jingdu's first question was a bit aggressive, "Then there were so many opportunities to show favor to this king earlier. Or a showdown, why not do that?"

His question was clearly reproachful.

Because of this, Rong Qinghuai instantly understood that His Royal Highness Yan Wang was acting for Lai Fu who was next to him.

"Your Highness, forgive me." Rong Qinghuai hurriedly put on a terrified posture, and knelt down with a plop.

When Rong Zhuo saw his father kneeling, he hurriedly knelt down too.

Yu Jingdu froze, and almost couldn't help reaching out to help him, but he couldn't help it, and could only follow the play of the two of them, "This king is asking you why, not asking you for your sins."

"We are afraid of death." Rong Zhuo whispered.

With Rong Zhuo's appearance like this, the moment he opened his mouth, he took on a somewhat aggrieved tone.

Not to mention Yu Jingdu, even Lai Fu who was on the side felt a little soft-hearted after reading it.

"Your Highness, you are in good shape, don't get angry with them." Lai Fu persuaded.

Hearing this, Yu Jingdu slowed down his attitude and said, "Get up and talk, you don't need to kneel."

The father and son got up when they heard the words.

With the opening at the beginning, what Yu Jingdu asked later became much more normal.

Not only did he ask a lot of details, but he also asked a few questions around Rong Zhuo's previous lie, which helped to make Rong Zhuo's lie come true.

Jiang Jiyan, who was on the side, was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that the two of them, who had never spoken before, could cooperate so naturally.

Especially Young Master Rong, who looked ignorant, had a tacit understanding when he cooperated with their Highness.

"That's it for today, I'm tired." Yu Jingdu got up and wanted to leave, but suddenly stopped in his tracks when passing by Rong Zhuo.

"Have you been poisoned?" He asked with his eyes on the rash on Rong Zhuo's body.

When Rong Zhuo was asked such a question, for some reason, there was a burst of grievance in his heart.

He raised his eyes to look at Yu Jingdu, and complained, "My father and I obviously wanted to do some good deeds to accumulate virtue, but we didn't expect to be imprisoned...and there are a lot of biting insects in your prison."

"Xiao Zhuo!" Rong Qinghuai tugged at his clothes and said, "Don't talk to Your Highness like this."

"Did I say something wrong? We didn't make a mistake." Rong Zhuo's voice was much quieter this time, but his tone seemed even more aggrieved.

Yu Jingdu raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, "What Young Master Rong said is the truth. You father and son acted out of righteousness to prevent this king from being wronged, but now you are in jail. I am sorry for you."

"Your Highness is serious, your child is talking nonsense, don't take it seriously," Rong Qinghuai said.

What he said was half-truth and half-false, not only to smooth things over, but also afraid that Yu Jingdu would really listen to this complaint and feel that Rong Zhuo was ignorant.

After all, he only knows that Rong Zhuo and His Royal Highness Yan Wang met, but he doesn't know how their friendship is.

He has been in the officialdom for decades, and he understands the truth that people should not repay favors, so he is afraid that Rong Zhuo will accidentally offend others.

"It was reasonable for His Majesty to order you to be locked up here. After all, it will take time to verify your words." Yu Jingdu said: "But you are not criminals after all, at best you can only be witnesses..."

"Your Highness, forgive me." Jiang Jiyan hurriedly said, "It is true that His Majesty told people to stay in Dali Temple, but Dali Temple has no place for people to live except the cell, so..."

"There is no room in Dali Temple, so is there no room in the capital?" Yu Jingdu glared at him, gave him a warning look at a place Lai Fu couldn't see, and then continued: "How about this, my king's The palace has been vacant and no one lives in it, I'll let you use it to place people in the palace, so that no one will say that I don't repay my kindness."

Crowd:! ! !

What kind of madness is this, Banquet King?

Let people live in his palace?

Jiang Jiyan was taken aback, "Your Highness, is this inappropriate?"

"What's wrong with that?" Yu Jingdu glanced at Rong Zhuo, and said with a pun: "In the eyes of this king, their lives are precious. I will rely on them to prove my innocence in the future, and let them live." What happened to the palace?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Laifu, "Elder-in-law said yes?"

"Your Majesty has indeed granted His Highness the right to do things cheaply." Lai Fu hurriedly said.

When Yu Jingdu heard the words, there was no room for everyone to refute, so he left with Laifu.

Rong Zhuo stared blankly at Yu Jingdu's back disappearing from his sight, unable to calm down for a long time.

He thought, His Royal Highness the Banquet King must be seriously ill, is he using his house as an inn?

"Jiang Shaoqing." After everyone had left, Rong Qinghuai who was at the side suddenly said, "Please thank His Royal Highness Yan Wang on behalf of our father and son.

"It's easy to say." Jiang Jiyan said.

"I don't understand what His Royal Highness Yanwang wants to do?" Rong Zhuo asked Jiang Jiyan.

"Isn't it obvious enough?" Jiang Jiyan explained: "He wants to find a reason to meet you in the future."

With the emperor's permission, he went out of the palace to meet people, and then placed him in the palace in front of the emperor's confidants.

Yu Jingdu looked impulsive and incoherent step by step, but he was able to subtly resolve the suspicion of many emperors.

Yu Jingdu knew that the more he disagreed with Rong Zhuo and avoided suspicion, the less the emperor would doubt their relationship.

This is probably what people often say is dark under the lamp.

Rong Zhuo pursed his lips when he heard the words, "Why are you looking for me openly, and I'm not familiar with him."

"You don't know each other well?" Jiang Jiyan suppressed a smile, but he could only swallow the second half of the sentence because of Rong Qinghuai's presence.

He thought to himself, you don't know him well, yet you crawled into someone's bed and hugged him to sleep?

On the other side, it was already night after Yu Jingdu returned to the palace.

He was not in a hurry to go back to Fu'an Palace, but went to the emperor's bedroom to greet him.

"Are you tired?" the emperor asked with concern.

"My son is fine."

"The father and son of the Rong family are visible?" the emperor asked.

"See you." Yu Jingdu rubbed the center of his brows wearily, "That kid from the Rong family is too delicate, he won't be well after living in prison for a day, Erchen thinks about this after all because Erchen I couldn't bear to see their father and son being tortured in prison, so they moved into the palace."

The emperor nearly choked on a mouthful of tea upon hearing this.

"You let them go to your palace?" asked the emperor.

"I asked Jiang Shaoqing and Lai Fu, and they all said that according to the law, the Rong family and his son do not need to be imprisoned, but the truth of the matter is not yet known, and letting them go out may cause trouble, so they can only protect them temporarily." Yu Jingdu said: " Jiang Jiyan didn't want to take the responsibility, he said that there was no other place to go, the minister thought that the palace is empty anyway, so it's okay to let them stay for a while, it's all due to their friendship."

The emperor said helplessly: "That is your palace, it will be used for your wedding in the future."

"Then let's make it a town house." Yu Jingdu said, "Although the father and son don't look very smart, they can be regarded as upright people, right? It's not bad for the palace to have their loyalty."

"You." The emperor said, "Everyone says you are cold-hearted, but I have always known that your heart follows your mother. She is also a person, with a cold face and a warm heart..." Speaking of the late Concubine Qi, The emperor himself felt guilty first.

"Father, my son has one more thing to ask Father to complete." Yu Jingdu said.

"What's the matter?"

"Can you give me a few more guards?" Yu Jingdu asked.

The emperor thought for a moment, "You really need to add more people to your palace."

"My son is afraid that someone will kill someone to silence him, so I want to watch him closely." Yu Jingdu said.

"Tomorrow I will ask Xue Cheng to pick some usable ones for you, and you can have a look at them yourself in the future, and return the unsuitable ones to him." The emperor said, "By the way, what did you ask today? "

Yu Jingdu said: "I said a lot, but it's a pity that they are all one-sided words, and there are no letters to support them."

"It's not unexpected." The emperor was afraid that he would be thinking wildly, and comforted him: "Don't worry, when things are confirmed in the future, I will let the two generals of the frontier army be killed directly, and I will not let them bite you opportunities, and will not let them tarnish the frontier troops."

When Yu Jingdu heard the words, he immediately put on a shocked and moved expression.

But just when the emperor thought he would thank him, Yu Jingdu refused.

"Father, my son wants to know why they did this, what kind of temptation is it that can make them abandon their home country and frontier army, and turn to be a member of the private army." Yu Jingdu said: "So please father The emperor must save their lives, and neither allow them to do harm to him, nor let others take the opportunity to silence them. If they die, I am afraid that this question of my minister will not be solved."

The emperor was very surprised when he heard the words, apparently he did not expect Yu Jingdu to refuse directly.

Because of this situation, anyone with a guilty conscience would go along with the flow when they heard that the emperor wanted to kill someone to silence him.

Yu Jingdu was lucky, not only stopped him from being killed, but also interrogated him himself.

What does this mean?It shows that he has a clear conscience...

If the emperor was more or less suspicious of him before, then this time, the suspicion in his heart was completely dispelled.

the other side.

Rong Zhuo and Rong Qinghuai were indeed arranged by Jiang Jiyan to the Banquet Palace.

Not only that, the father and son were also arranged in the guest room in the main courtyard.

Rong Zhuo went to take a shower and changed into clean clothes, he finally felt much more comfortable.

The housekeeper of Yanwang Mansion asked a doctor to help Rong Zhuo take a look at the rash on his body, and confirmed that it was the temporary allergy caused by the poor environment of the prison cell, not from insect bites, so it will be cured after a day or two after applying the medicine It's neat.

"Young Master Rong is suffering, so let's take good care of him in the palace these days." The steward said.

"Uncle Butler." Rong Zhuo asked the butler, "Will His Royal Highness Yan Wang come back to live?"

Rong Zhuo didn't ask this question because he was looking forward to Yu Jingdu's return, he just felt that it was somewhat awkward to meet as the two of them now.Frankly speaking, he was not ready to face the real identity of the other party.

Especially thinking of those misunderstandings he had, Rong Zhuo wished he could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

Not to mention that he has always been ignorant in his mouth on weekdays, and he has arranged many things for Yanwang, both openly and secretly, and all of them are in front of Yu Jingdu.

Thinking about it this way, Rong Zhuo felt admiration for Jing Du again.

He used to offend so many times in front of the other party, but the other party never got angry at him, it seemed that he could really bear it.

"Your Highness has never lived in the palace," said the housekeeper.

"Never live here?" Rong Zhuo said, "It's a pity not to live in such a nice house."

"It is estimated that His Highness will move back when he gets married." The housekeeper said: "Our Highness is now in his 20s, and it is time to consider this issue."

This housekeeper turned out to be someone close to Concubine Qi, and the emperor sent them to the palace a long time ago, which can be regarded as taking care of Concubine Qi's old family.After all, staying in the palace is much more comfortable than in the palace.

As an old person next to Concubine Qi, it is natural to assume Concubine Qi's original responsibilities.

Therefore, His Royal Highness Banquet's marriage was naturally put into the plan by the housekeeper.

Although he has no way to control this matter, he has made various preparations on weekdays, just to welcome the other master of the palace smoothly in the future.Unexpectedly, the princess didn't wait for her, but a handsome young man did.

Although the butler didn't know what happened, he knew that the people His Highness could arrange to live in were definitely not ordinary people.

"Young Master Rong, you are the first guest to live in this palace." The steward said.

"Really?" Rong Zhuo said in surprise: "It's a good thing I'm not a woman, otherwise the future banquet princess will be in trouble."

The author has something to say:

Princess Banquet: Do you think I'm jealous or not?
