eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 16
The weather is cold, and Liu Jin's heart is even colder.

He didn't know whether His Highness the Crown Prince intended to target him.

If so, that's all.

But His Highness will never think of it the moment Wang Jia finished speaking, and do it immediately after thinking about it.It must have been figured out earlier, just looking for Wang Jia to sue Li Guang to make trouble.

This is very scary. Liu Jin thought about it carefully, he hasn't done anything special since this period of time?

I felt that it was unreasonable in my heart, so I took another chance, what if His Highness didn't mean that?

After all, His Highness is only seven or eight years old. How could a child think of such a terrible calculation?Even if it is an adult, this is a method only used by a thoughtful master.

Liu Jin looked up at the prince again, and found that the child's face was normal, and savored the taste of the fish with great interest, and said, "Mmm, it's delicious."

Gudong.

Liu Jin swallowed a mouthful of saliva, shut her mouth and stood aside.

It was almost evening, His Highness had to go to sleep earlier.

Liu Jin secretly went to Qiuyun again,

Although a girl's family is not a top-ranked Jinshi, but His Royal Highness remembers her, then she can't just sneer and bully like Zhang Tianrui when she has nothing to do.

So Liu Jin said kindly, "Miss Qiuyun, you have worked hard today."

Qiu Yun replied according to the ceremony: "Eunuch Liu is serious. Qiu Yun got His Highness's grace to save him, and he was lucky enough to save his life. All these hard work should have been done."

"Mmm...Miss Qiuyun, today Your Highness..."

"What's wrong, Your Highness?"

"Did your Highness tell you anything? It was when I went to pass the meal."

Qiu Yun's eyebrows flashed, and his sensitivity suddenly came up.

What does Liu Jin mean by asking this?
In her understanding, the prince and Liu Jin have an unusual relationship, after all, they grew up with the prince.

How can I ask her what the prince said?
Liu Jin is also a person who is very good at observing words and expressions. For a little girl, the thoughts in her heart are naturally written on her face.

"Girl, don't think too much, you and I are trusted by His Highness, and we always think of His Highness's good in our hearts."

"Your Highness only said that you want to eat fish." Qiu Yun thought for a while and said, it's okay to say nothing, Liu Jin cannot be easily offended.

His relationship with the prince is really unusual, and his position in the East Palace is also very important.

"The rest..."

"Your Highness is still young and hungry, so naturally he just kept talking about eating, but he didn't talk about the rest with me, the servant who served tea."

In this way, it was difficult for Liu Jin to say anything.

For him, this night was destined to be sleepless.

Because he couldn't figure out the prince's attitude towards him,

This is actually the most sensitive and dangerous.

In addition, there is also Li Guang's side to consider...

The morning in the East Palace was still the same as usual, except that the rain stopped, and there was still some water and broken leaves knocked down by the rain on the ground, which had already been cleaned up by the servants.

Zhu Houzhao stretched his waist in the morning sun and did a few stretching movements.

Liu Jin looked a little sluggish, with a somewhat tired look on his face.Things like staying up late, let alone him as a middle-aged man, a 30-year-old social animal will recover for several days after a night.

"Your Highness, do you need to deliver breakfast?"

"Well, let's pass it on." Zhu Houzhao held back a smile, "What's wrong with you? Did you get scared by the thunder last night?"

Qiuyun at the side held back a secret smile.

Liu Jin thought about it all night and couldn't come up with a clue. He was even more uncomfortable when the prince talked to him so nicely: Your Highness, is that what you think?Still playing with the old slave!

"Returning to Your Highness, the maidservant just didn't rest well, there is nothing serious."

"Oh, okay." Zhu Houzhao naturally knew it well, "Well, let Zhang Yong come over to serve today, and I also want to learn archery from him."

Among the eunuchs, Zhang Yong was proficient in bowing horses and was quite courageous.

How could Liu Jin hand over this opportunity to others, so naturally she wanted to be with her.

So the ordinary morning of an aristocrat in a feudal society started again. A group of people surrounded a child, serving him to wear and eat.

Others prepared bows and arrows and targets for children according to his order.

After that, Zhu Houzhao moved to a pavilion outside the hall.

The eunuchs were still busy, so he sat in the pavilion and waited. He served Qiuyun tea when he was thirsty, and Dongyu snacks when he was hungry.

In addition to eunuchs, maids of honor, small officials like Yang Tinghe would follow along and keep records.

This is the first time His Highness is interested in archery.

People who grow up will regret it more or less. When they were young, they did not learn or insisted on learning a certain special skill.

The same goes for Zhu Houzhao. Although he is not a fanatical fighter, he never wants to be just a frail emperor studying.

Right now, I'm still young, so it's just right for me to learn.

"His Royal Highness, please hold the bow and arrow."

Zhang Yong presented his bow and Zhu Houzhao looked at him eagerly.

He also really wanted to try out what it means to be a teenager: Huang on the left, Qing Cang on the right, a brocade hat and a sable fur, and a thousand riders rolling Pinggang!

According to Zhang Yong's teaching, Zhu Houzhao stretched his bow sideways, aiming his eyes, and his small appearance is still cute.

The swishing arrows were shot, but most of them missed.

Liu Jin and Zhang Yong glanced at each other, feeling embarrassed, but dared not say anything.

Zhu Houzhao is not in a hurry, anyway, it is just the beginning, practice slowly.

Looking further into the distance, there are several pavilions, which are connected to each other and extend above the water surface of the pond.

Yang Tinghe was right there, never far or near.

It was nothing at first, but when I stretched my bow and nocked an arrow again, I turned my eyes to that side, and suddenly felt that something was wrong?

His brows furrowed slightly.

Liu Jin is very good at reading facial expressions, "Your Highness, are you tired?"

Zhu Houzhao put down his bow and looked at Yang Tinghe's position suspiciously. It was indeed different from before.

But I can't remember it, and I feel strange in my heart.

When he raised the bow again, he was still in a state of uncertainty.

correct!

"Where's Zhang Tianrui?"

The hearts of Liu Jin and the others sank, it's broken!

How could His Highness remember a sixth-rank official that he didn't like?
……

……

outside the palace.

Wang Jia ran into Mr. Xie Ge again.

"What does Your Highness say?"

Wang Jia frowned in confusion, "Just say...I got it."

"Huh..." Mr. Xie Ge was also uncertain, "I just know? What does this mean?"

Wang Jia guessed: "Or as Yu Qiao said, there are really many wise people behind the prince. And the prince only said that he knew it, maybe it hasn't been discussed yet?"

"Perhaps. Li Guang has caused a lot of trouble, and he has won His Majesty's trust. It is not easy to bring him down? The East Palace has recently changed its usual. I thought that if there is someone behind it, as long as it can help, that would be good. Now look at We can only wait and find an opportunity to eradicate Li Guang no matter what!"

"I think Yang Tinghe has a close relationship with His Highness." Wang Jia thought of the scene he saw that day.

"Oh? There is such a thing?" Xie Qian was a little surprised, "Old Xu Ge asked him face to face that day, and this Yang Jiefu did not miss a single word. Could it be that he is a person with deep thoughts?"

"It's just a guess. I often go to the East Palace, and I may have contact in the future. I will observe this person carefully then."

Xie Qian pondered for a while, and felt that this was the only way to go now.As for his heart, he kept silently chanting: Yang Tinghe...
