Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

The clouds were coming down heavily, but the sky was still dark at night, no different from the night sky.

It was not raining when we arrived, and most of the ministers did not hold umbrellas. At this moment, they had to wait under the eaves outside the main hall for the eunuchs to see them off, or for someone from the palace to pick them up.Even those who were less well-off and had lower official positions, most of them went back in the rain.

Li Yuqi was naturally waiting for the little eunuch in the palace to pick him up.

However, he was a little uneasy at the moment - Ning Xiuyuan didn't come to the morning court, and he asked Zhang Dexian before he came out. Zhang Dexian said that it was Third Master Ning who claimed to be sick...sick?Sick so promptly?

Just like this rain...it was really timely, and it stopped me abruptly.Li Yuqi stood under the eaves and watched some officials rush into the heavy rain because they couldn't wait any longer.It's raining so hard that it's a bit awkward to go back in the rain, but...

"Your Highness."

Li Yuqi, who was barely able to take a step forward, was suddenly stopped. It was none other than Left Prime Minister Bian Dongchuan, his maternal grandfather.Li Yuqi turned around, faced Bian Dongchuan, and nodded slightly, "Grandpa." His voice was so low that it was almost drowned in the sound of rain pouring down from the eaves.

The two stood side by side, one with his hands behind his back and his chin raised, the other seemed a little more humble and casual, one was old and the other was young, and they did not seem to be warm and familiar.

Bian Dongchuan tilted his head slightly in the direction of Li Yuqi, "Your Highness has something important to do and is leaving in a hurry?"

"It's not an important matter." Li Yuqi stepped back to avoid the rain splashing on the corner of his robe, straightened his sleeves, then leaned against the wall and looked up at the falling rain curtain, murmuring, "It's just that the rain is falling. I'm just getting upset. Those errands are becoming more and more careless. It's raining so hard. They should have waited outside with umbrellas long ago... but they want us to wait here."

Bian Dongchuan glanced at him, his eyes were quite calm, but there was something hidden in his expression that he had not stated aloud.

With this expression, Li Yuqi immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing - something like this had happened before. His Majesty was in a bad mood that day, and he was watching a group of civil and military officials arguing with each other in the court hall. The officials were furious when they came to court. When they got off the court in the morning, they saw servants and eunuchs huddled under the wall with umbrellas in twos and threes outside talking, so they continued to be angry.

From then on, no matter how heavy the rain was or how late the court was, these servants and eunuchs could not come to wait. Even the guards at the palace gate did not dare to let the servants in to deliver umbrellas for fear of being blamed by the emperor.Now the emperor has not recovered from his illness, but this rule seems to have not been abolished.The emperor did not abolish it personally, and it was naturally impossible for Li Yuqi, who was still "agent", to implement it in such a place.

"That's true..." Li Yuqi pressed his eyebrows, shook his head and laughed, "There are so many messy things these days... I actually forgot about this matter." He only said this, in an understatement, but secretly he was racking his brains. How to get out.

However, Bian Dongchuan didn't seem to receive the message that he was eager to leave at all. He nodded slowly with his hands behind his back, as if he was chatting about nothing, "Every matter in the court is open to everyone." It makes sense, my mother-in-law said it makes sense, this world will be yours one day, now it’s good to take advantage of this opportunity to practice your skills..."

"That's true..." Li Yuqi agreed while looking up at the sky. The rain was really getting heavier and heavier. It was late autumn. If he went out of the palace in the rain, he would probably get sick. What's more, Bian Dongchuan was here and he was so anxious. It’s hard to explain.If he is sick, his mother will have to worry about it again... He looked away, feeling a little unhappy, and sighed, "These eunuchs... are becoming more and more lazy and unruly in their errands." "It's windy and rainy, even if I hold on, It's difficult to walk even with an umbrella... His Highness has nothing important to do, so it doesn't matter if he waits for a while." Bian Dongchuan lowered his eyes and chuckled, then asked pointedly, "Or is it true that Your Highness really left the second girl of the Shen family alone? My heart is aching, how can I miss you so much when I go home a little later?"

As a grandfather, it is somewhat embarrassing to make such a joke with a younger generation.

As a minister, it is somewhat arrogant to say such words to the current prince.

So after Bian Dongchuan asked, even he realized the inappropriateness of it. He coughed with his fist, smiled and explained, "It's a joke, it's a joke... Your Highness, don't blame me."

There are always some people who use the excuse of "joking" to say probing words.It's just that the other person is his grandfather. No matter how fearful and suspicious he is, he is still an unshakable "alliance", which is the biggest help for him to secure his position in the world.Li Yuqi felt unhappy, but still shook his head with a normal expression, "It doesn't matter... I'm taking shelter here from the rain at the moment, not above the court, no matter the king or ministers, only the young and old."

"His Highness can think this way, I am really pleased. Your Highness has grown up and matured after all." Bian Dongchuan still had his hands behind his back. Even though he was just standing under the eaves to take shelter from the rain, he stood up straight, and he had not lost the momentum of the Prime Minister. Half a minute.He said he was pleased, but his words seemed to be preaching, "Your Highness, you are the current prince and the future emperor. When you hold the country in your hands, what kind of woman can't get it? Why bother to do it to women again and again now?" Fallen?"

The hand on his right hand tightened, and Li Yuqi turned his head to look to his left, "Grandpa, what do you mean by this?" As he asked, his eyebrows were narrowed, and all the emotions in his eyes were covered by eyelashes, hidden deep in his heart, and no one could know.

Maybe the other party also knows, but just doesn't realize it.

After all, he is an elder. After all, he is the only supporter behind the prince. No matter how alienated he is, the still young prince cannot let his alienation precautions go unnoticed.Bian Dongchuan twitched his lips and said, "If those two girls from the Shen family are just ordinary concubines, His Highness likes them and they can be taken into the inner courtyard as concubines or mistresses, but her mother was born in Goulan courtyard." , there are still some rumors about her parentage...that's all, I just think that Your Highness is young, energetic and impulsive."

"It's just that Aunt Chaoyun who lives in the dust... you absolutely shouldn't do it." Bian Dongchuan said, and saw Li Yuqi looking up, and then said, "Your Highness. The reputation of the prince is so important... Now your majesty When you are seriously ill, it is even more critical. The one who can serve you every day in front of the bed, what about you, Shen Er, Chaoyun, do you think these are all unreasonable things? Your Highness...that sentence Do you remember?"

Li Yuqi was already annoyed, but he still kept his expression calm, "Which sentence?"

Bian Dongchuan actually hesitated. He brought the hands behind his back and rubbed them in front of him, then asked thoughtfully, "The former Crown Princess... is rumored to be a virgin until her death..."

This is his ultimate goal of paving the way for this long time.
