The prince is shameless

It happened to be lunch time when Wen Xing returned home, and he ate almost all of it in his room. Wen Xing originally planned to visit his mother after the lunch time, but was told to have dinner together for the first time.

"Father, mother, brother." Wen Xing stood by the table, looking a little embarrassed.

After five years of getting along, the distance between Wen Xing and Wen Yu has narrowed a lot, but he still feels afraid of his father and mother who rarely meet each other—especially the one who has only met three times in the past five years Father Wen Guang.

Wen Guang returned a nasal voice with a paralyzed face, and asked him to sit down.

Wen Xing carefully sat next to Wen Yu, with his head lowered, he looked like a child who had made a mistake.

"Did you know that the emperor ordered you to live in the palace?" Xu Yunning said lightly.

When Xu Yunning's voice fell, Wen Xing clearly felt a line of sight from his side.

He nodded gently, and replied: "Return to the mother's words, the son knows."

Xu Yunning gave a "hmm" and said: "The imperial palace is no better than your home, you must obey the rules. As the prince's companion, you should help and get closer on weekdays, you know?"

"My son knows, thank you mother for your concern." Wen Xing answered meekly with lowered eyebrows, covering the doubt in his eyes.

My mother must know the real purpose of the emperor calling him into the palace, so why would she let him get close to the crown prince?Normally, he should be warned to keep his distance.

Xu Yunning continued to give some other instructions, Wen Xing put on a serious look, but he was already out of his wits.

After she finished speaking, today's lunch really started.Wen Xing subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and waited for the other three to move their chopsticks before picking up his chopsticks.

The Wen family pays attention to eating and sleeping without talking - although it is only because there is not a single person among them who loves to talk, and the whole dining table only has the crisp sound of chopsticks hitting the dishes from time to time.

Wen Xing secretly glanced at his father Wen Guang who had not spoken.

He once heard from his elder brother that the Wen family started to improve from the grandfather's generation, and then became more and more prominent in the hands of the father.

Grandfather was born in martial arts and obtained a moderate official position.When my father was young, he was caught up in the border invasion and turmoil, and his grandfather volunteered to take his father, who was still half a year old at that time, on the battlefield.

Later, his grandfather passed away unexpectedly, and the teenage boy calmly took over all the burdens, charged into battle with a pistol, and finally defeated the enemy in one battle and became famous.

Xu Shi noticed Wen Xing's gaze, and Wen Guang glanced at him.

Wen Xing was startled in his heart, and quickly moved his eyes away, just in time to miss Wen Guang's imperceptible sneer.

The meal was finished in a quiet and weird atmosphere.

After lunch, Wen Xing was called to the study by Wen Yu again.

"It's estimated that there will be a few snowfalls in the next few days. Be careful not to catch a cold." Through the wooden door, Xu Yunning's cold voice seemed to be a little soft.

Wen Xing paused when he was about to push the door.After a while, he lowered his hands and took a few steps back, obediently standing in the cold wind and waiting.

"Thank you mother for your concern. My son called my younger brother over to discuss some matters. He must be here soon. If mother is fine, will my son go to the door and wait for my younger brother?"

"Well. Then I'm leaving too."

"Walk slowly."

As the voice fell, the door was pushed open from the inside.

"Mother." Wen Xing shrank his neck from the cold, but still called softly.

Xu Yunning gave him a sideways glance, returned a nasal voice and left.

Wen Xing hurriedly stepped aside and looked up at the direction Xu Yunning was leaving.The snow-white fox fur seemed to be glowing with a cold light, which was a bit dazzling.

"It's cold outside, don't stand around stupidly, come in."

"Ah, good." Wen Yu's words brought back Wen Xing's thoughts, he smiled and walked in obediently.

The decorations in the study have not changed much in the past five years, except that there is an extra bookshelf.Wen Xing looked at the extra bookshelf suspiciously, and asked, "Brother, why are there so many books about government affairs suddenly?"

There are a total of five bookshelves in the study, except for the newly added one, the rest are related to the art of war, with only a few history books mixed in occasionally.

When Wen Yu heard the question, he paused for a while before saying: "Father said that you can't just read military books. If you want to deal with the ever-changing battlefield, you should cover some books in other fields."

Wen Xing nodded pretending to half-understand, sat opposite to Wen Yu's gesture, and asked, "Brother, what do you want to say to me?"

Wen Yu held a porcelain cup on the table and said, "The things my mother said before lunch today...don't listen."

"Huh?" Wen Xing blinked, not understanding what Wen Yu meant by this sentence.

Wen Yu thought it was Wen Xing who was ignorant, not knowing the twists and turns, and explained with a straight face: "Our Wen family has become too prestige in recent years, the emperor must be afraid of us if he wants you to enter the palace. If you rush Getting close to the prince will inevitably arouse suspicion."

"Then what did the mother mean by those words?" Wen Xing followed Wen Yu's guess about his image, his head tilted slightly, and his clear eyes were as spotless as a clear pond.

Wen Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and in the end he just said, "Maybe my mother misunderstood what the emperor meant."

Wen Xing stopped making a sound.

The two of them were quite quiet, and after they finished speaking, they were relatively silent for a while, and Wen Yu simply let Wen Xing go back.

Wen Xing said goodbye with a smile and got up to leave. The moment he stepped out of the study, he suppressed all his emotions again.

He was originally a sensitive person, and the comparison between his mother and elder brother today really made him suspicious.

As long as he can remember, his mother has always been indifferent to him and caring for his brother in his heart.He always thought it was because he was weak and his mother thought he was burdensome, but it seemed that it was not that simple now.

I just hope he's overthinking it.

Wen Xing heaved a sigh of relief, and prepared to go back to the yard to pack his things.

-

Two days later, a misty snow finally fell in the gloomy sky for several days.

Because the prince is only 12 years old this year, and it is not a full-year birthday, the emperor only held a family banquet, and all the relatives and relatives in the capital were present.

Wen Xing didn't know what Xie Yi was thinking, and insisted on letting him enter the palace before the family banquet started.

The pure white snow fell lightly on her shoulders, but she stopped for a while and was ruthlessly abandoned by the hurried figure.

When Wen Xing went out, he never expected that it would suddenly snow on the way.At this moment, there was still a short distance to the East Palace. In order not to put on the hat of delaying the crown prince, he hurried to the East Palace while there were not many guards on the road.

Xie Yi seemed to have been waiting at the door early on, waving happily when he saw Wen Xing approaching.

"You're here!"

The same tone as when we first met a few days ago.

Wen Xing guessed that it was probably a matter of staying in the palace.

Sure enough, when he stopped to salute, he was interrupted by Xie Yihuan's cheerful words: "Excuse me, I have ordered the maid to decorate your room, go and see if there is anything you are not satisfied with." , Gu asked them to change as soon as possible."

Saying Xie Yi, he tugged Wen Xing's sleeve to a side hall of the East Palace.

Wen Xing's heart sank.

When he first entered the palace in his previous life, he first lived in another part of the palace. He didn't move into the East Palace until Xie Yi was 17 years old. He didn't expect to skip that step in this life.

Wen Xing followed Xie Yi to the side hall, and when he opened the door, he was dazzled by the familiar scene.

Whether it's the location or the layout, everything is exactly the same as when he left this place in his previous life.

Obviously, he had changed the positions of objects such as desks and screens by himself after he moved in in his previous life, but everything in front of him was exactly the same as what he had changed.

Although Wen Xing felt that this was too much of a coincidence, he had to admit that in his opinion, such an arrangement would be more satisfactory.

Seeing him in a daze for a long time, Xie Yi thought it was because he didn't like it, and his brow showed irritability again.He let go of the hand pulling his sleeve, pouting, "Don't worry about it, even if you don't like it, you have to tell Gu that you like it!"

Wen Xing was distracted by Xie Yi's willful words, put away his almost exposed emotions, and followed his words without changing his expression: "Your Highness, thank you for your trouble, I like it very much."

"There is no sincerity at all." Xie Yi muttered in a low voice, his dissatisfaction was obvious.

Wen Xing didn't intend to appease him, remembering the purpose of his promise to come here this time, he considered his words and said, "May I have the courage to ask Your Highness one thing?"

"You say it."

"Wei Chen wants to bring a young servant into the palace with him." Wen Xing slowly said his request, and tightened his right hand hidden in his sleeve.

Xie Yi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why?"

Generally, when Xie Yi asks the reason, it means that he has the intention to agree.Wen Xing let go of his right hand and said, "Wei Chen has been served by the servant Yun Nian since he was a child, and he is used to it, so he wants to bring him into the palace together."

Yun Nian?It seems to have heard of it.

Xie Yi pondered the name carefully in his heart, and finally agreed with a wave of his hand.

Wen Xing thanked Xie Yi, and when he was about to find a reason to leave, he heard Xie Yi suddenly add another condition.

"However, if you really want to bring more people, you have to move in before the imperial confinement tonight."

Except for major festivals, the palace will close the city gate at Xu time every day.It is precisely because of this that today's palace banquet is held at noon.In other words, if Wen Xing wanted to bring Yun Nian with him, he had to move into the Eastern Palace within four hours.

Wen Xing frowned, trying to argue.

Xie Yi saw his plan, and interrupted first: "I don't accept rebuttals."

"..." Wen Xing's words were forced back to his lips.

He could see that Yun Nian was very talented in government affairs, and he couldn't bear to let him die on the battlefield like in his previous life.It's almost the same from one night to the next, but he still reluctantly agreed to Xie Yi's unreasonable request.

Immediately afterwards, Wen Xing resigned on the grounds of going back to clean up, Xie Yi had no reason to stop him, and went with Wen Xing.

He stood in front of the side hall and looked at Wen Xinghu's blue back, narrowing his eyes slightly - if Wen Xing turned around at this time, he would be surprised to find that his eyes were the same as the one he saw last time when he left the warm pavilion.

After being reborn for five years, Xie Yi has been cultivating his power all the time, only in this way can he unscrupulously express his appreciation and... his pleasure to Wen Xing.

He was only a little bit short, and he could wrap Wen Xing firmly by his side.

Ah Xing, you can't escape before that.

Xie Yi raised a smile that was sure to win, like a hunting dog that had already regarded its prey as its own, how could it have the slightest appearance of a child?

And Fu Lu beside him always stood obediently, as if he didn't see anything.

The author has something to say: Xie Yi will have more roles in the next chapter~
