Notes of Lanxi Crossing

Chapter 168
Drop in?Song Qinnian snorted.

This is just lip service, who would take it seriously, the prince is unwilling to find a decent excuse anymore, forcing the teacher to express his opinion.

Meng Wei waved his hands indifferently. Although he was old, his eyes were clear and bright, and he laughed at his students for their lack of composure.

"Why do you need to take it to heart? Since he said he was on the way, then I'll just take him on the way. He's coming, no matter how you say it, I can't be blamed."

"It's fine if it was a few years ago, but in the past few years, the prince seems to have a bit of a sense of confrontation, for fear of arousing... suspicion."

The children were still there. Although Song Qinnian did not shy away from letting them know about these court affairs, he still subconsciously avoided certain sensitive words.

Lan Xi listened to the conversation between the two with great interest, and deeply felt that what the old man said was very reasonable.

When the emperor was busy offering sacrifices, the prince sneaked out to pay New Year greetings to his mother's relatives and friends, as well as the ministers of the court. Under normal circumstances, any demented prince would do this.

It can be seen from this that the prince really has a sense of rebellion that he deliberately sang a rivalry with the emperor.

The problem is, if the prince is rebellious, let him be rebellious. He is the emperor's own son, and his father wouldn't really yell at him until he reaches a certain level, but outsiders like them are not necessarily so.

It is very possible that the emperor and the prince are fighting each other, and the emperor is reluctant to deal with the prince, so he can only choose to break his wings. In this way, those people whom the prince deliberately befriended will be in bad luck?

Lan Xi didn't know if she guessed right, because most of her thoughts came from various literature, film and television received in modern times, and they were not completely based on the ethics and logic of this dynasty.

"Xi'er is also worried about Grandpa Meng. Looking at the little brows frowning, it's almost knotted."

Meng Wei didn't ignore the little girl sitting next to him, frowning worriedly. Seeing her troubles and worries, she just found it quite interesting.

In fact, what Song Qinnian said was right, she was really a smooth climber, Meng Wei called herself Grandpa Meng, and Lan Xi followed suit.

"Grandpa Meng, don't we really need to worry?"

"Hahaha——" Meng Wei laughed a few times before comforting her happily.

"It's useless to worry. It's still the same sentence. He is a prince. If he wants to come, how can I not let him in?"

As he spoke, a complicated look slowly appeared on his face.

"Don't worry, the emperor hasn't looked old yet, he has a clear eye and a clear heart, but we are the ones who say more and make more mistakes, just let nature take its course."

When Song Qinnian heard the words, he realized that he was blinded.

Yes, if the conditions are relaxed, the emperor is still in his prime, coupled with his tight imperial power and the strength of the army under his control, there is no need to be suspicious of the prince's slight movements.

After Song Qinnian figured it out, he immediately got up and bowed to Meng Wei to express his gratitude.

"Thank you for the teacher's suggestion, the students have been taught!"

"There's no need to be so polite between you and me. Besides, even if I don't say anything, you can still understand."

Meng Wei has always recognized the ability of her favorite student, and she understands that the student is concerned about it, and she is confused, and she is too worried about her situation, so she falls into a rut.

No one is clear about the exact situation between the prince and the emperor, but what is certain is that the prince's status is not enough to be shaken, so Song Qinnian and Meng Wei temporarily put the matter aside.

After all, Meng Wei was getting old, and after seeing several people in succession, and talking to Song Qinnian for a while, he became a little bit out of spirits.

Song Qinnian thoughtfully bid farewell, and led the children away from the prime minister's mansion.

The Song family never thought about what to do with the prime minister's relationship, so they didn't take this encounter too seriously.

On the contrary, since meeting the Song family at the Prime Minister's Mansion that day, Zhan Xi paid more attention to Song Qinnian invisibly.

This difference is specifically manifested in the fact that when Zhan Yu and Zhan Jin ran to Song's house during the Chinese New Year, not only did he not stop him, he even came with them occasionally.

After he came, he didn't look for anyone else, and often talked with Song Lanzhang in the study or the front yard. Even Lan Xi, who didn't like the front yard study, met him a few times.

Song Lanzhang didn't know whether the crown prince's move was good or bad. Last time when he was in the prime minister's mansion, he naturally heard the prime minister's suggestion to his father.

It's just that the prince made it clear that he wanted to use him as a breakthrough to tie the Song family to his boat.

In desperation, she could only tell her father Song Qinnian about the situation.

Song Qinnian had expected this for a long time: "It's nothing, he can come if he wants. Anyway, you haven't become an official yet, and the crown prince is from an orthodox family. I will explain this matter to the Holy One first. Even if others want to make irresponsible remarks, I will not Don't be afraid."

The teacher is right, they are just courtiers, there is no need to participate in the struggle between the father and son of the heavenly family, as long as they do their duty well.

Since his father did not object, Song Lanzhang began to associate with the prince in a relaxed and generous manner.

However, although he no longer shy away from meeting the other party, he still kept some distance from him.

Zhanxi could see the reaction of the Song family. He admired it but also had a headache. He didn't want to give up this family with great potential easily, so he could only continue to associate with the sons and daughters of the Song family as if he didn't know it.

Today, Lanxi and Song Lanshu were chatting with melon seeds in the garden, but they saw the eldest brother and the prince talking together.

Song Lanshu looked along Lanxi's sudden pause, and saw two familiar figures walking out. Her eyes froze slightly, and then she lowered her head and continued to peel the melon seeds.

"Second sister, tell me...have you come here a little frequently recently?"

Lan Xi threw a few melon seeds into her mouth, and there was a small plate of melon seeds that Song Lanshu had peeled for her in front of her.

When she was with her younger sister, Song Lanshu always liked to pamper her by herself, without the need for servants at all.

"Maybe, the last time we went to the prime minister's mansion to pay New Year's greetings, it still entered his heart."

Zhanxi didn't hide his thoughts too much at all. For this kind of tacit friendship, as long as the other party has a good sense of proportion, not too strong and does not cause trouble to them, the Song family will not directly refuse.

"...But, doesn't that guy not like children forming cliques?" Lan Xi asked in a low voice.

Song Lanshu gave her a reproachful look: "At this time, my father and the others will take care of it, so there's no need for a little kid like you to worry."

You can't say that, she is also a part of this family after all, if the Song family is down, how can she survive?

Besides, she is not really an ignorant child.

"Sister~ just tell me, don't let me worry about it here alone!" Lan Xi acted like a baby to her.
