Hearing that the crown prince wanted to see him, Gongsun Jingsheng was so happy that he hummed a little tune and entered the palace.

Originally, he and His Royal Highness are the first cousins, closer than the cousins ​​of the Wei family, and he also favored Princess Yangshi. Except for the outstanding military exploits of Brother Qubing, he is no better than those few. The little cousin Qiang who accidentally lost his title.

But in fact, Gongsun Jingsheng's relationship with the prince's cousins ​​was not as good as that of Wei Wuyou's brothers and sisters. This cannot be explained by a simple age gap, because Huo Qubing, who has the best relationship with Liu Shi, is the prince. The furthest in age from his cousins.

Of course, the uncle is good at fighting, and he is the biggest support of the queen, aunt, and even the entire Wei family. Gongsun Jingsheng is not jealous of his younger cousins. The uncle is also his uncle. When the Wei family is well, their Gongsun family can also Follow along.

What really made Gongsun Jingsheng feel aggrieved was Huo Guang, a man who had no blood relationship with the Wei family.Huo Guang is Huo Qubing's younger brother, and Qubing's older brother wants to take care of him, Gongsun Jingsheng has nothing to say, it is the Huo family's family business, and it should be taken for granted.

But what he couldn't understand was that the crown prince was so close to Huo Guang. He was asked to be a companion at first, and when he entered the court, he recommended Huo Guang to the emperor's side as a servant.Such a good thing, why doesn't he think about his own cousin.

A few days ago, the emperor set off on a northern tour, leaving the crown prince to oversee the country. Gongsun Jingsheng was thinking, with such a good opportunity, the crown prince's cousin should be able to think of him, let alone give him a Have a real job position, instead of being an idle official.

I don't think the prince still didn't move, as if he didn't remember him. Fortunately, Princess Yangshi brought her daughter into the palace yesterday. Although he and the princess have a little friction from time to time, they are a couple after all, the princess In the palace, he will definitely speak well for him.

Therefore, when Gongsun Jingsheng entered the palace, he was full of ambition, and he believed that His Royal Highness must have a good job for him.

The emperor was not in the palace, and the crown prince borrowed his proclamation room to deal with political affairs.When Gongsun Jingsheng arrived, there was a pile of Lao Gao's bamboo slips in front of Liu Ju, and it looked like he still had work to do, he hesitated for a moment, then paused and said: "I have seen His Royal Highness, Your Highness is always happy!"

"Wait for a moment, I'll be ready soon." Liu Ju raised his hand and found a place for Gongsun Jingsheng to sit, and continued to deal with his government affairs. If you can't, pack a bag and send someone to send it to the emperor quickly.

It was the first time for Gongsun Jingsheng to come to the announcement room. Seeing Liu Ju's orderly appearance, he felt an inexplicable sense of nervousness. The crown prince was obviously several years younger than him, and in his memory he was just a shy and silent little doll. When did he become Such a sense of presence and deterrence.

Gongsun Jingsheng tried hard to recall, but he couldn't remember when the change in Liu Ju happened. Was it because the prince was too good at hiding, or they were too distant, so that he had such an illusion about the prince's cousin, thinking that he He is a very talkative and foolish person.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Jingsheng could not help but shudder, he began to suspect that seeing him might not be a good thing for the crown prince.

While Gongsun Jingsheng was thinking wildly, Liu Ju had sorted out the remaining bamboo slips and arranged for people to send them out.

"Cousin! Cousin Gongsun! Second brother-in-law!" Liu Ju raised his voice and called out twice before calling Gongsun Jing who was immersed in his thoughts to agree.Seeing this situation, he couldn't help shaking his head, fortunately he was in front of him, if he changed his father, it would be a disgrace.

"Ah! Your Highness!" Gongsun Jingsheng came back to his senses, and found that Liu Ju had already walked in front of him, and immediately panicked: "Your Highness, please forgive me, minister..." No matter how cousin and brother-in-law, Gongsun Jingsheng is not good To excuse himself, he was a bit out of place.

Fortunately, Liu Ju didn't mind, he stretched out his hand to pull Gongsun Jingsheng up, and said with a smile: "Cousin, let's go, let's go to the Imperial Garden."

"Yuhuayuan?" Gongsun Jingsheng was puzzled. What were they going to do in Yuhuayuan, and Liu Ju said that he would meet him in Yuhuayuan? It's strange, and in the end I just didn't think about it.

Anyway, no matter what it was, the crown prince would always tell him, and he couldn't call him into the palace because he hadn't seen him for a long time.

When he arrived at the Imperial Garden, Gongsun Jingsheng found that drinks and snacks had been placed in the gazebo by the pool, so he couldn't help but turned his head and stared at the prince blankly.What's the meaning?Why did the well-behaved cousin of the crown prince suddenly invite him to drink? He hasn't done anything he shouldn't have done recently...

"Cousin, please sit down." Liu Ju's attitude was gentle and polite, which made Gongsun Jingsheng feel uneasy, and his siblings were a little at a loss.

After a while, he finally asked, "Your Highness, what is this?" Why did he smell the Hongmen Banquet.

"Don't be nervous, cousin. I just want to treat you to a drink or two. It's nothing else." Actually, at this time, Gongsun Jingsheng hasn't done too many things that Liu Ju doesn't like. Take it before it happens, lest he accidentally cross the line in the future.

But as for what he wants to do to Gongsun Jingsheng, Liu Ju really doesn't have that idea, as long as he doesn't cause trouble for him, then thank God.Gongsun Jingsheng was frightened before he could say that he didn't want to beat, which made Liu Ju feel a little embarrassed. Is he so scary?

His Royal Highness obviously forgot one thing, that is, no matter how good or gentle a person's temper is, he has stayed in the position of the prince of the big man for decades, and the temperament of not being angry and self-imposing cannot be shaken away. When this kind of temperament appears on a young man who is not weak enough, the effect will be even more astonishing.In the past, when the emperor was in the capital, Liu Ju would subconsciously learn to restrain himself, which would not make people feel anything unusual, but when the emperor went out, he was in charge of the state council, and unconsciously his aura was in full swing.

The courtiers are all used to dealing with the emperor. Seeing the prince like this, they will only lament that the tiger father has no dog son. Gongsun Jingsheng is different. He is too used to the gentle, elegant and talkative little prince in his memory. Seeing him like this suddenly, no It's weird to be scared.

Few of the aristocratic children nowadays are well-behaved. Even if they marry a well-matched daughter-in-law, they still have to get a few gentle and beautiful maids to serve by their side. Those who went out could be called heterogeneous.

Gongsun Jingsheng favored the princess, so life is not as comfortable as ordinary people, but he can't control himself, the family doesn't allow it, so he can't go out, but his hands and feet are not neat enough, every time Princess Yangshi finds out, The two would argue from time to time.

Liu Ju is not interested in the housework of his sister and brother-in-law, and Princess Yangshi has taken a fancy to Gongsun Jingsheng, so it's up to her to live on.However, Liu Ju told Liu Shu that his brother-in-law and cousin is definitely not as capable as his uncle, and it is unnecessary to expect him to inherit the family business and carry forward the family business. It is better to stay at home and be an honest person. Anyway, she is a princess. Future future does not fall on the husband.

After exhorting Princess Yangshi, Liu Shi was still worried. After all, Gongsun Jingsheng had an official position. She might not know what he was doing outside under the banner of the prince. That's why Liu Ju called Gongsun Jingsheng. In the palace, he planned to talk to him by himself.

After drinking for three rounds, Liu Ju took out a piece of silk from his bosom and handed it to Gongsun Jingsheng.

Gongsun Jingsheng took the silk silk tremblingly, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat as soon as he glanced at it. His cousin of the crown prince is too well-informed. How to do it, he already knew.

Seeing that Gongsun Jingsheng was almost watching, Liu Ju lowered his voice and said in a low voice: "Even if my sister is tight and my cousin is nervous, I can't follow these evil heretics. I discovered it by chance, and I can manage to suppress it." , if the royal father finds out..."

"His Royal Highness, save me!" The evidence given by Liu Ju was so complete that Gongsun Jingsheng couldn't believe it.

But how did he know that Liu Ju didn't bother to send people to follow him in all directions. He just sorted out the facts about Gongsun Jingsheng that he and Huo Guang knew about Gongsun Jingsheng, and then ordered people to verify two of them. down.

Sure enough, Gongsun Jingsheng was completely shocked. He listened to whatever Liu heard, honestly, he was very serious.

It was so easy to send Gongsun Jingsheng out of the palace, Liu Ju heaved a sigh of relief, fortunately he only had one cousin like Gongsun Jingsheng, if there were two more, he would not be able to find the bottom for them, what a pity Like Brother Qubing, there is only one.

Thinking of Huo Qubing, Liu Ju couldn't help thinking of Huo Guang.When he was in the capital earlier, he thought he was aggressive and made him suffocate, but once there was no news from him, he was a little unaccustomed, and he always felt that there was something missing around him.

Because Liu Ju couldn't make the decision, he had to send it to the emperor quickly, and the emperor had to send it back as soon as possible after reviewing it. Huo Guang was with the emperor all day long. It is not difficult to bring a letter to Liu Ju, and he doesn't have to say anything. In short, there shouldn't be no news as soon as you go out.

Liu Ju even thought about whether Huo Guang was playing hard-to-get tricks with him, but after thinking about it carefully, it didn't fit his style of dealing with people.Huo Guang's most important thing in doing things is to be sure. This kind of method that will be played off if you are not careful is not what he likes to use.

What Liu Ju didn't expect was that, as cautious as Huo Guang, there would be times when he would accidentally show his feet.

"Uncle, what did you do wrong to be scolded bloody by Ah Weng?" Seeing that there was no one else around Huo Guang, Huo Shan patted his horse and chased after him.During these years in Shuofang, Huo Qubing trained him to be very proficient in horseback riding and archery, and his curiosity and courage were as scary as it was.

That day, Huo Qubing caught Huo Guang and scolded him severely. Huo Shan heard it from a distance, but couldn't hear the specific content clearly, so he was extremely curious.However, when Huo Qubing strictly prohibited anyone from approaching, Huo Shan did not dare to disobey the order, so he had to find an opportunity to ask Huo Guang.

"Go, go, children don't meddle in adults' affairs." Huo Guang was in a bad mood and waved at Huo Shan.

Huo Shan refused to leave, and continued to ask: "Uncle, don't drive me away, maybe I can help you."
