The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

Chapter 52 Sudden Confession
The housekeeper stepped aside after finishing speaking, but Wei Xuanjin looked at Li Sister-in-law, and said softly after a while: "Princess, there is a distinguished guest in the mansion suddenly, I have to go to the front yard to say hello, forgive me."

"Sister Youmin is with me, my son can go to the front hall to receive the distinguished guests without worry!" Li Sister smiled back, she was not very interested in the distinguished guests of the palace.It could also be said that she knew who the visitor was, but she had no intention of meeting him.

Wei Xuanjin confessed a few words to Princess Minxian, then suddenly took the housekeeper to the front yard.As soon as Wei Xuanjin left, Princess Minxian took Li Sister-in's arm affectionately, and asked curiously, "Sister Princess, what kind of guest did you say came to the house, and eldest brother left in such a hurry?"

Li Sister-in-law glanced at the direction Wei Xuanjin was leaving, and said with a nonchalant smile: "There are too many dignitaries in Beijing, maybe it's the prince or the Duke of that family! Now, let’s go to Liuchun Pavilion to see the colorful water lilies! I’ve never seen them before, but today I’m lucky.”

Princess Minxian is only 13 years old, and Jiang Ning Wang and his wife are very protective and innocent. Hearing what Li Meiying said, she let go of the matter and dragged Li Meiying into the Liuchun Pavilion happily. .

In the lobby of the main building of the Jiangning Palace, Wei Jinyang and Wei Haoyou were each holding a cup of tea. It was also a coincidence that the two met in front of the gate of the Jiangning Palace, and they simply entered the Palace together.

When Wei Xuanjin came to the hall, he saw the prince and the fifth prince holding teacups, each with their own concerns, he stepped forward to salute calmly, "Greetings to the prince, and greetings to the fifth prince."

"Xuan Jin quickly excuse me." Wei Jinyang put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and helped Wei Xuanjin up.

"Why did Your Highness come here in person? The seven-colored water lily has not been transplanted in time, otherwise I would have sent it to the Prince's Mansion in person." Wei Xuanjin knew the purpose of Wei Jinyang's visit, and Wei Jinyang had mentioned it to him earlier. He was apologetic about the transplanting of colorful water lilies, but now that the other party came to him in person.But a small matter has been delayed for so long, and I really feel sorry for it.

Wei Jinyang didn't know that Li Sister-in-law was in the Jiangning Prince's Mansion at the moment, and after hearing Wei Xuanjin's words, he casually smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about this matter. Today I asked the gardener in the mansion specifically to find out about it." In March of Yangchun, the chances of survival of the transplanted colorful water lilies are higher, so there is no need to rush to tell you, lest you transplant the colorful water lilies and it will be a waste.”

Wei Haoyou on the side listened to the conversation between the two, showing a little unnaturalness on his face. The emperor's brother came to the Jiangning Palace for rare and famous flowers, but he came to the Jiangning Palace for a beauty. With Brother Huang's too pedantic character, he will definitely be prevented from getting close to Li Sister, so it seems that he can't tell the truth.

"Fifth Brother, why did you come to the Jiangning Prince's Mansion? I remember that you came here to pay New Year's greetings in the third year of junior high." Confessing something that was on his mind, Wei Jinyang also felt in the mood to ask Wei Haoyou about the purpose of this trip.

"I came here to ask Xuan Jin to go out for a drink. I heard that Shiyaxuan has unsealed ten altars of century-old Yuqiong wine. How can I miss such a good wine." Thinking of hearing someone mention Shiyaxuan on the way to Jiangning Palace Wei Haoyou used this as an excuse.

Wei Xuanjin is different from his father, King Jiang Ning, he is not very interested in the Six Arts, but only likes to drink the world's fine wines. This is no secret in Beijing, and the fifth prince has fought in the battlefield for many years. Drinking heavily and eating meat, Wei Haoyou and Wei Xuanjin have similarities in this regard, so the two once drank fine wine together, drew swords and fought together, and their friendship is not like that of ordinary cousins.

Wei Xuanjin didn't delve into the authenticity of Wei Haoyou's words, but said to Wei Haoyou very apologetically: "Fifth Prince, let's have a drink together another day, I'm afraid it won't work today."

Naturally, Wei Haoyou would not force it. Originally, his purpose of coming to Jiangning Palace today was not to drink, but to see a beauty, but he couldn't tell in front of his imperial brother.

"I didn't know that the crown prince and the fifth prince were coming, and I hope to forgive you for not being able to welcome them from afar." King Jiang Ning, who had heard the news, opened the curtain and entered the house, and smiled heartily.

In the end, King Jiangning kindly persuaded Wei Jinyang and Wei Haoyou to stay in the Jiangning Palace. Wei Jinyang proposed to see the colorful water lilies when he was interested for a while. He responded sensually, and secretly signaled the housekeeper to go to Liuchun Pavilion to inform Li Meiying first.

The butler left quietly, and when he arrived at Liuchun Pavilion, there was no one there. After asking the maid in Liuchun Pavilion, he found out that Princess Minxian had dragged Li Meiying back to his embroidery building. Heaving a sigh of relief, he quickly turned around to meet the prince and the others.

Princess Minxian likes to paint, and once heard that Li Sister-in-law is outstanding in painting, she asked Li Sister-in-law to give some pointers. The two of them stayed in the study for half a day until dinner was ready, and then they went to Jiangning Wang and his wife to live. In the courtyard, Princess Jiang Ning had dinner in the dining room in the courtyard, while King Jiang Ning prepared a banquet for Wei Jinyang and Wei Haoyou in the dining room of the front yard.

After dinner, Wei Jinyang and Wei Haoyou bid farewell and left. Li Sister-in-law accompanied Princess Jiang Ning and talked for a while, until King Jiang Ning and Wei Xuanjin turned around, then got up to leave, and King Jiang Ning asked Wei Xuanjin to see him off. Send Li Sister-in-law.

Li Meiying saw that Wei Xuanjin did not refuse, so she accepted it frankly. Li Meiying rode in a carriage, while Wei Xuanjin rode a horse. When they arrived at Princess Yingsu's mansion, Wei Xuanjin called Li Meiying to stop and asked Li Meiying to send him away. back around.

Li Sister-in-law knew that the prince of Jiangning had something to say, so she asked Mo Shu to take the people back to a distance, then she looked at Wei Xuanjin and said, "I don't know what the prince has to say to my sister-in-law!"

Wei Xuanjin looked at the girl in front of her thoughtfully, and had to admit that she was extremely beautiful. Even in Xinjing, where there were so many beauties, her beauty was unmatched. He himself was also fascinated by her beauty, but it would be boring if a beauty has only beauty and no brains, but obviously the girl in front of him has both beauty and wisdom. Thinking of this, he smiled softly: "The princess is a You are a very smart person, in the palace today, you must have doubts about the behavior of the father and mother, if the princess wants to ask anything, just ask, I will answer the princess's questions honestly."

Li Sister-in-law didn't expect Wei Xuanjin to be so direct. After being a little surprised, she found it funny again, so she said with a smile: "Since the son will say such a thing, it proves what the sister-in-law is thinking, the son has already guessed." Yes. I am not suspicious of Aunt Qing and Uncle Huang's behavior, but I am very sure that they intend to match me with the prince, but I know that with the temperament of the prince, he will definitely not like a woman like me."

"Xuan Jin has indeed met the princess. There are very few girls with such great wisdom. You are right. The father and the mother do have the intention to match you and me." Wei Xuanjin looked at Li Sister, his eyes were very bright, he After pausing for a moment, he seriously replied: "It's just that the princess said something wrong. Although you and I don't know each other very well, I can tell the princess with certainty that the person I like is indeed the princess."
