Chapter 84 Surrender
The Grand Prince's Mansion.

Liang Yuqi handed the gift box in his hand to the concierge's reception desk and waited aside very cautiously and respectfully.

The concierge didn't mean to look down upon him, but he still had some disdain in his eyes after seeing too many people who came to ask His Highness the First Prince for help.

However, Liang Yuqi was so confused now that he really didn't bother to argue with them.

"Brother Liang!"

The eldest prince greeted Liang Yuqi cordially: "Why are you here? Why didn't you tell him in advance so that I could pick him up personally."

The concierge looked at Liang Yuqi in surprise.

This man didn't look like someone with any status. He was wearing a long gown that was not old, and the material looked like it was from two or three years ago. It was not something that is popular nowadays.

How could such a person fall in the eyes of the eldest prince?
"Your Highness!" Liang Yuqi also felt flattered and wanted to salute, but was stopped by the eldest prince: "Hey, there is no need for these false gifts between you and me!"

After that, he held his hand and walked inside, talking about some anecdotes about Beijing as he walked.

Liang Yuqi was very pleased and felt that he was respected, and he also wanted to make friends with the eldest prince.

Somehow the conversation ended up at the wine shop.

"I was lucky enough to drink the wine brewed by your winery before, and it was endlessly satisfying, which I will never forget." The eldest prince said eloquently: "But why can't I seem to buy it recently?"

Liang Yuqi didn't say anything. He sighed first and then told what happened in the wine shop.

But in the end, he didn’t say that someone pointed him out and asked him to find the eldest prince.

"It wasn't a big deal at first. This matter had nothing to do with me. But maybe I was so angry that I hit a government official, but they took advantage of it and refused to close the case. That’s why the wine shop has been closed down.”

"Fortunately, I own a winery, so I don't have to worry about the wine going bad."

"So you came to me today because you want me to say a few words to you?"

"I can't help it. I have a few goods to deliver at the end of the year. I don't want to break trust." Liang Yuqi suddenly found it difficult to speak and said: "I... alas!"

"I heard that you and the Ji family are going to be in-laws?"

The eldest prince turned the tea cup in his hand, smiled harmlessly, and said: "The first assistant will take office in two years. Among the several cabinet ministers, Ji Henian, the grandpa of the Ji family, is the one with the highest reputation."

Listening to the words, Liang Yuqi is also a thoughtful person. He understood what the eldest prince meant almost instantly, and said immediately: "I already understand what your highness means. However, I am only a son-in-law after all. I am afraid that I cannot control the prince of the Ji family." the meaning of."

"You really can't do it now, but you have to find a way to become the person who can influence him. Otherwise, why would I accept you under my command?" The eldest prince looked at Liang Yuqi with a smile and said calmly: "I I know you are an ambitious person, so come up with something to show me your sincerity."

Liang Yuqi's heart suddenly pounded.

He realized that this was an opportunity. If he couldn't seize it, he would never be able to turn around in the future.

If he could become a member of the eldest prince's command, he would definitely be able to prosper in the future.

Your Majesty is still in his prime in the Spring and Autumn Period. Although he has no intention of changing the crown prince, if there is no fight, who knows who will win in the end?
"I understand."

The eldest prince asked him curiously: "Then what do you plan to do?"

"The Ji family originally agreed with me on a concubine. I am willing to marry him, but only because the Ji family has few daughters, and concubines are also noble." Liang Yuqi said slowly: "I plan to start from this marriage... …Let them betroth their legitimate daughters to me, thereby increasing the weight of my life in their hearts.”

Liang Yuqi had a bad reputation, and daughters from good families would not want to be associated with people like him.

"Okay." Dahuangzi had already seen Liang Yuqi's sincerity and said with a smile: "If you can get a good ranking during the autumn hunting, I will ask my father to give you an official position."

"Thank you, Your Highness, the eldest prince." Liang Yuqi knelt down very simply this time, and the eldest prince did not reach out to stop him.

He enjoyed the feeling of being worshiped on his knees.

"I heard that the lady Gu Zhao is going to marry was once your wife? Then don't you and him have a grudge against her?"

One sentence seemed to wake up Liang Yuqi.

Two days passed quickly, and Gu Zhao also got the names of people in Xiangshan.

The one who was patrolling Xiangshan today was actually His Highness the Crown Prince, and he would stay in Xiangshan these days, waiting for His Majesty the Emperor to return to Kyoto with the Emperor after he ascended the mountain.

Gu Zhao vaguely sensed something was wrong.

If it was His Highness the Crown Prince who made an appointment with him, he wouldn't have to use such twists and turns.

Another news came from Jiang Feng. The person who kidnapped Lin Miaofu turned out to be someone from the army. They were among the group of people who followed the Crown Prince to Xiangshan this time.

Gu Zhao hurriedly invited Mr. Xie.

There were so many traces of human design in this matter that Gu Zhao felt that it was not done by His Royal Highness.

In order to avoid suspicion, the Gu family has always been pure ministers, loyal only to His Majesty, and kept a distance from each other's relationship with the princes.

He never got too close to any prince, and even His Highness the Crown Prince was not favored.

When Gu Zhao was young, he worked as the prince's companion in the palace.

He probably knew the temperaments of the two adult princes.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looks serious and old-fashioned on the surface, but he is actually a gentle person at heart. It is just because he is the crown prince that he must treat others seriously.

The eldest prince looks gentle and kind on the surface, but he is an extremely cold person on the inside.

"I'm afraid someone is setting me up." Gu Zhao said, "I wonder if Mr. Xie has any good ideas?"

"The Crown Prince believes that His Highness will not do such a thing?"

"Yes." Gu Zhao said categorically: "It won't do him any good at all."

"Yes." Xie Guangzhu thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid we went too fast and broke their plan."

According to common sense, it would take them a day and a night at the earliest to find Lin Miaofu.

The two sides negotiated, and flaws naturally leaked out, making Gu Zhao suspicious and went to investigate.

People tend to be convinced by the evidence they find.

Once Gu Zhao is convinced that this matter is closely related to His Royal Highness, then as long as he is still willing to marry Lin Miaofu as his wife.

There will definitely be a knot in my heart, and I will naturally not be sincerely loyal to His Royal Highness in the future.

Just talking about it, Gu Zhao still didn't understand the ultimate purpose of the people behind the scenes to do these things.

These things were like clouds, covering Gu Zhao's eyes.

"Since you can't make up your mind, it's better to stay the same in the face of changes." Mr. Xie said, stroking his beard: "After all, the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light. It's never too much to be careful."
