Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space
Chapter 156 Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills
The door creaked open and Li Mingyue came out, wearing clothes and holding the door frame. She looked pale and coughed a few times. Looking at the eldest prince who came over, tears in her eyes, she called out sadly, "Brother"!
The tone was so sad and desolate that Li Mingyuan's hair stood on end and he rubbed his arms unconsciously.
That's not right. Why is Li Mingyue here? The guard said that he was not in his fiefdom. He rushed here just to ask Zhao Xian to see that Li Mingyue did not respect the emperor's order and to add another crime to him.
Li Mingyue looked at Li Mingyuan's stunned expression and laughed secretly. "Little guy, can't I beat you? See if I can't scare you to death!"
Zhao Mingyuan rolled his eyes behind him and said, "It's over, the show is over, cousin. Do you still have any of the demeanor of a prince?"
Before Li Mingyuan could react, Li Mingyue took his hand and went into the house to talk. She also turned around to greet Zhao Xian.
Li Mingyuan lowered his head and saw Li Mingyue holding him. He felt that his hand was not a hand, but a piece of fat meat in Li Mingyue's eyes.
Looking at Li Mingyue's affectionate look, Li Mingyuan felt awkward and confused, but he had to keep a straight face, and his facial expression was very distorted for a moment.
Zhao Mingyuan and Zhao Xian felt sorry for him.
Zhao Mingyuan lowered his head and invited Zhao Xian and others to come into the house to talk. When Zhao Xian passed by Zhao Mingyuan, his expression changed slightly. He did not speak, but looked at him with a smile.
Zhao Mingyuan lowered his head even more as he was being stared at.
Zhao Xian didn't say much and followed him into the house.
Behind him was a group of local officials of all ranks, waiting to pay their respects to the eldest prince.
The eldest prince asked everyone to stand up in a very royal prince-like manner, without being polite.
The officials looked flattered and lost in thought. Li Mingyuan was very satisfied and couldn't help but straighten himself.
Zhao Xian also bowed to Li Mingyue and asked about her condition.
Li Mingyue said with a somewhat depressed look that nothing was wrong, he was just not used to the fiefdom yet.
The eldest prince became complacent and arrogant again: "Second brother, you must have suffered a lot. Father asked me to come and see you. You have lost weight. You must take good care of yourself in your fiefdom in the future."
Li Mingyue also quietly touched the goose bumps on his arms. Li Mingyuan was just talking, but why was his tone so creepy? He must be at odds with him.
Li Mingyue also took advantage of the situation and pretended to be weak. She took his arm and said to the eldest prince pitifully: "Brother, I'm new here and I'm not used to the climate here. It's only because you came to see me that I miss you a little bit."
Li Mingyuan's hair stood on end. "Give me back my arm. Let's talk it over nicely. We are not close."
Li Mingyue smiled secretly and continued, "Brother Emperor, I'm very happy that you came to see me. Don't worry, I'm fine. When you go back, tell Father not to worry about me."
Li Mingyuan rolled his eyes inwardly. Who’s worried about you? That’s why I’m willing to come to this godforsaken place!
But he pretended to be a good brother in front of Zhao Xian and his subordinates, which made Zhao Xian feel uncomfortable for him.
After the hypocritical duo of brothers finished their hypocritical performance of brotherly love and respect, the eldest prince began to speak to the officials.
Officials from all over the country tried their best to please the eldest prince and Zhao Xian. For a while, the eldest prince was so flattered that he didn't know what to do.
Zhao Xian sighed again as he watched from the side. This was really far inferior to the Second Prince.
He recognized Zhao Mingyuan as soon as he arrived, and was not surprised why he was here instead of in his hometown. He could also see clearly that Li Mingyue was putting on an act.
It’s just that the eldest prince was blinded by his eagerness for quick success and couldn’t see clearly.
The Second Prince didn't seem to have any intention of hiding anything in front of him. Zhao Xian thought about this and had an idea in mind.
A welcoming banquet was held in the evening. The eldest prince was already surrounded by officials who were flattering him, so he didn't even remember his second brother and the patrol envoy.
The eldest prince also favored the skinny horse presented by his subordinates, and enjoyed himself very much. He thought that his second brother was not bad, and was very considerate. He treated his brother very well. After he came to the throne, he would not have to kill him.
At the same time, Zhao Mingyuan arranged a room for Zhao Xian to rest. When Zhao Xian was about to leave the room, Zhao Xian suddenly said from behind, "General Zhao, how are you?"
Zhao Mingyuan turned away awkwardly and saluted Zhao Xian: "Master Zhao, how are you? I'm glad you recognized me."
"In that case, young general, please sit down and let's talk." Zhao Xian said and made a gesture of invitation.
Zhao Mingyuan sat down readily and poured Zhao Xian a cup of tea, handing it to him respectfully.
Zhao Xian took it and took a sip, then continued, "Young General, won't you explain?"
Zhao Mingyuan smiled awkwardly: "I'm unworthy of this. Sir Zhao, just call me Mingyuan."
Then he said seriously, "Sir, you should be aware of the Second Prince's plight. He was assassinated on the way to his fiefdom and almost died. I happened to meet him and saved him."
"Sir," seeing Zhao Xian's expression grow serious, he continued, "The Second Prince is, after all, the Emperor's own flesh and blood. I believe the Emperor would not bear to see him killed in such silence."
