Chapter 371 Different
The usual indifference on Yang Rui's face has not been seen for several days.

The heart-to-heart words from the head of the guards that night made Yang Rui's mind full of troubles.On the one hand is his revered teacher, on the other hand is the family that gave birth to him.Do you really need an alternative?

If Yang Rui had the same disposition as an ordinary child of his age, he wouldn't be so upset.Unfortunately, born in the royal family, Yang Rui's precocious mind far exceeds that of his peers.After listening to what the guard leader said, he understood that what the other party said was not impossible.On the contrary, based on his impression of the royal family, what the head of the guards said is likely to happen.

"what should I do?"

No one can answer Yang Rui.Even the head of the guards did not dare to answer his question.It is okay to remind, but it is different to guide Yang Rui to make a decision.If one is bad, you will lose your head.

So Yang Rui felt very irritable when he was on the road these days.Especially thinking of Liu Rui and Wang Nian who stayed in Langyuan City, compared to their own annoyance, they can happily attend classes, play games, and listen to stories in Zhang Family and Academy.

Annoyances linger.But Yang Rui also insisted in his heart, and he had more reasons to convince himself that the teacher's methods must not be given or accepted privately.Besides, not everyone has the ability to learn from the teacher's methods. If the talent is not enough, it is useless to say anything.If you have talent, can't you go to a teacher?
Good or bad, he also made a rough preparation, and Yang Rui finally arrived at the Yuanding Imperial City after a long journey without peace of mind.

The royal family also prepared some ostentation to welcome Yang Rui.In addition to the ceremonial guard that Prince Yang Rui should have, five people from Yang Rui's uncle's family came, and his three imperial brothers also went to wait for him at Wuliting outside the city.When they arrived, they were all enthusiastic and very close.

It's just that Yang Rui was curious, so let's forget about his uncle's family. Although he was rarely seen before, after meeting him, he was still kind and friendly.But my three imperial brothers
Not to mention that Yang Rui had never been close to these three imperial brothers before, when they met and greeted each other before, they would not pay attention to him.Although the number of times is not many, Yang Rui has a deep memory.Because at that time his mother and concubine told him to be respectful no matter whether he saw these three in the palace or outside the palace.It is said that the throne will fall on the head of one of these three in the future.

Yang Rui didn't know how to deal with the enthusiasm in front of him, and he couldn't run away, and no one could help him to block it, so he could only be carried by a group of people into the city from outside the city like a puppet, and then went all the way to the palace.

During the time on the road, Yang Rui's ears were basically never quiet.In the three or five sentences, there was a sentence of temptation mixed in, and what he did was basically as expected by the head of the guards.

Although Yang Rui could hear the meaning of those words, he didn't know how to deal with them. Even if he was less than ten years old, no matter how smart he was, he couldn't understand everything.He could only smirk shyly and not answer.

This method of pretending to be stupid was taught by his concubine Yang Rui when he was in the palace.If you don't want to offend anyone, you'd better be a fool, or at least look stupid.In this case, because of face, coupled with the identity of the prince, it can help Yang Rui avoid most of the troubles.

Ever since he could remember, Yang Rui had come here by pretending to be stupid in the palace.His intelligence is only "dead study", even the professor of the Imperial Forest Academy praised "good memory".The words "wisdom" and "wisdom" have never fallen on Yang Rui's head.

Later, someone was selected to look for Zhang Yan's talent, and Yang Rui was selected because he was of the right age and had no potential for martial arts.Also count the secret efforts of his mother, concubine and uncle's family.This gave Yang Rui the chance to appear in front of Zhang Yan.

"Let him try it. If it doesn't work, learn some skills honestly when you come back, and it's not bad to have a good time when you go out of the palace." Yang Rui remembers what his mother and concubine said to his uncle .

Seeing Yang Rui's ability to "pretend to be stupid", the members of the uncle's family are okay, the relationship between them and Yang Rui is already okay, and with Yang Rui's mother and concubine here, there will be opportunities to get in touch later.At the same time, it can be seen that Yang Rui is extremely resistant at this time, so naturally he just shut up.

But the faces of the three emperor brothers of Yang Rui were not so good-looking.They were the most powerful candidates for the crown prince in Nanyuan Kingdom, and they fought fiercely under Yang Sheng's laissez-faire.No one obeys anyone.For all the forces that can be won to help him in the future, he is rushing to win over, or intimidate, or make a cake, and the methods can be described as both soft and hard.

For Yang Rui, the three princes have been coveted for a long time.If it wasn't for their hands not being able to stretch out Yuanding Imperial City or being beaten by Yang Sheng, they would have gone to Langyuan City to find their thirteenth brother in person.

Especially in today's Nanyuan Kingdom, the most important force that cannot be ignored and dare not be easily contacted is that Mr. Zhang from Langyuan City.Although the other party has never shown any ambitions and attitudes towards Nanyuan's country.But just taking advantage of the situation is enough to become a great help for the three princes who are vying for the seat.

But before coming here, he was full of confidence. He felt that Xiao Shisan was just a dull child. He would be grateful for coming and getting close to him so enthusiastically. When the time came, he would play the card of warmth and easily take him under his command.You can even use Xiao Shisan as a breakthrough to formally contact the mysterious Mr. Zhang. Wouldn't it be possible to get Mr. Zhang's support to force the emperor to make up his mind to choose himself as the crown prince?
Even if there is competition, it is competition with the other two brothers.

But no one expected that from the very beginning, the dull Xiao Shisan would act like "I'm stupid, I don't understand anything".This is treating them as fools!

But so what?Don't even dare to say anything serious.Worried that Xiao Shisan was evil, and the two people next to him were in vain.The three princes did not leave until they entered the palace gate.Estimated to find another way to go.

Yang Rui heaved a sigh of relief after they all left.The dull expression on his face disappeared, and he walked a little faster with a smile, wanting to find his mother and concubine in the familiar harem.But after walking a few steps, he saw that the eunuch leading the way was not walking in the harem.Only then did I remember that he was the prince, and after going out and returning to the palace, he should go to see the emperor first in etiquette, instead of going back to the harem to see his mother and concubine.This is different from the princess.

"His Royal Highness Thirteenth Prince, His Majesty is waiting for you in the Hall of Qinzheng, and even specially ordered the imperial chef to cook your favorite food. He must be missing you very much."

Yang Rui nodded, but what he recalled in his mind did not have the warmth of his mother and concubine.Instead, there is only instinctive tension.In his impression, the royal father was not someone he could get close to.

Have dinner with Father?In Yang Rui's memory, it was only once a year, and it was at a big banquet.It was the first time for Yang Rui to host a banquet and eat alone in Qinzheng Hall.
