Cui Rong walked out of the study.
"Xuanzhi,"
Chancellor's Wife suddenly stopped him, "Xuanzhi!"
Cui Rong stopped and turned around, "Mother,"
Chancellor's Wife walked up to him, held his hand, and said, "Xuanzhi, your father doesn't really want to drive you away..."
Cui Rong lowered his eyelashes, "I know," just knowing that makes me want to leave...
It was he who let his father down.
He raised his eyes and looked at her, "Mother... don't you blame me?" Don't blame him for liking a man, that man is still Crown Prince today...
Chancellor's Wife shook his head, "Since you have made this decision, it must have been carefully considered. I believe you,"
People of Xuanzhi's age already have wives and concubines around them, and children around their knees, but he, who is twenty-five years old, is still alone.
Now that he has someone he likes, instead of being surprised, she is actually a little happy.
After all, he has been stable and self-possessed since he was born, and does not like to get close to others. He spends all day in books, just like a nerd with no worldly desires.
Originally, she was still worried that one day he would suddenly decide to become a monk.
Although the fact that he now likes Crown Prince is no less shocking than becoming a monk, after all, he also has people he wants to protect and has people's joys, sorrows and joys.
Like a person.
She looked at him, her eyes flashing slightly.
Suddenly asked, "Crown Prince... Does he know your thoughts?"
She had met Crown Prince a few times. He was as gentle as jade, humble and polite, and was a good boy. No wonder Xuanzhi liked him. She couldn't help but feel happy when she saw him.
Cui Rong paused slightly, raised his eyes slightly, a hint of imperceptible favor flashed through his eyes, and replied, "He doesn't know," and he doesn't need to know...
Chancellor's Wife Hearing this, the corners of his lips twitched slightly.
After doing this for a long time, he is still in unrequited love...
No future.
Cui Rong seemed to see what she was thinking, "I just want to protect him silently," and His Highness did not need to respond to him.
He said goodbye to her, "Mother, take care,"
Chancellor's Wife saw that he had decided to leave and did not stop him, "Xuanzhi... Come back and see if you have time, Chancellor's Residence will always be your home,"
Cui Rong lowered his eyes slightly, "I know, mother,"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Chancellor's Wife looked at his leaving figure silently, feeling a sense of sourness in his heart and a slight heat in his eyes.
Okay, why did you choose such a difficult path?
Crown Prince Those who want to inherit the throne will have to marry a wife and have children sooner or later.
At that time, Xuanzhi is watching from the side, wouldn't he be heartbroken to death...
"Everyone has gone far away, what else are you looking at?" Chancellor Cui came out and said angrily.
That bastard could oppose him so stubbornly because he was used to it by his good mother.
A loving mother has many failed sons!
Chancellor's Wife snorted coldly and did not give him a good look, "You have kicked him out of the house, can't I still feel sorry for my son!"
She was almost forty years old when she gave birth to Xuanzhi. She was well prepared for a difficult delivery, but she never expected that the delivery would go smoothly that day.
Even the midwife said she was lucky. The little boy knew how to love his mother even before he was born, and he came out early.
This is to repay a favor.
How could she not feel happy after hearing this?
There is no doubt that she is partial to this younger son who has come to have a son at an old age. However, although he is young, his temper is too stable, and he always respects her but is a little alienated.
How she wanted him to throw himself into her arms and act like a baby.
Now that he has grown up, he has no chance.
Cui Rong came out from Chancellor's Residence.
He turned around unconsciously and took another look at Chancellor's Residence.
Those dark eyes seemed to be thinking about something, without any disturbance.
"Master, the assassins who followed Crown Prince at the lantern festival have all been dealt with," Changfeng suddenly appeared and said.
Cui Rong's eyes gradually turned cold, "Continue to make people stare,"
"Yes!"
Changfeng suddenly asked, "Master, are you going to stay in an inn tonight, or go back to the courtyard in the suburbs?"
Cui Rong's fingers were stroking the waistband in his hand, his eyes flashing slightly, "Of course..."
Eastern Palace
Crown Prince is taking a bath behind the screen.
"Da"
Suddenly he heard the sound of footsteps, and he opened his lips slightly, "Wei Yi, help me add some hot water,"
When the man heard his words, he stopped suddenly.
He picked up the hot water beside him and walked towards him, pouring the hot water into the tub.
"Wow--"
Crown Prince lifted up the hair on the back, "Wei Yi, by the way, help me wash my back,"
The man's breath suffocated slightly when he heard this.
After calming down for a while, he picked up the cloth on the side and gently wiped him.
Crown Prince noticed that the intensity was not as strong as what Wei Yi used to wipe him. He turned his head quickly and saw Cui Rong's enlarged face. He was so frightened that he fell back into the bucket.
"Your Highness,"
Cui Rong A trace of anxiety and panic quickly flashed across his eyes.
He quickly stretched out his hand to fish him out, but the moment his hand touched his skin, it bounced back.
His face suddenly turned red.
He stood beside the tub at a loss, not knowing where to start, so he could only explain, "Your Highness... I didn't mean to scare you,"
"Ahem..."
Crown Prince poked his head out slightly and asked with a red face, "Little Uncle... Why are you here?"
"I have come to take office," Cui Rong took out the proposed appointment letter from his arms and showed it to him,
Crown Prince:"..."
He said, "There's no rush, you can come back tomorrow..."
"It's true,"
Cui Rong lowered his eyes, his expression slightly decadent, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed, "I was just kicked out of the house by my father..."
Crown Prince was slightly startled when he heard this.
She raised her eyes to look at him, with a trace of pity flashing in her eyes, and asked carefully, "Is it because you are coming to this place, is Mr. Chancellor angry?"
"No," Cui Rong's eyes flashed and he replied softly, "Your Highness does not need to blame himself."
Crown Prince silently lowered his head and pursed his lips, "So, Little Uncle can't go back tonight?"
Cui Rong said calmly, "It doesn't matter, it's almost dawn. I can just wait at the door later."
"What's the matter? I'll get sick later because of the cold,"
Crown Prince looked up at him and said worriedly, "You will go to sleep in the side hall of Gushu Palace later."
Cui Rong heard this and looked at him intently.
A gentle smile appeared in his eyes, "I want to guard your highness,"
Crown Prince's face turned slightly red when he heard this, "You, turn your back first, I need to get dressed."
Cui Rong's eyes suddenly dimmed slightly and his lips opened, "My lord, come and help His Highness change..."
"No need,"
Crown Prince's eyes flashed slightly and he refused, "You are a lonely Zhan Shi, not a valet..."
Cui Rong turned his back silently, a hint of unnoticeable emotion suddenly flashed through his deep eyes, "I feel that I can also take on both roles,"
"Why bother so much Little Uncle"
Crown Prince eyes drooped slightly.
Then he asked, "Little Uncle... Does Sixth Imperial Brother know that you are coming to the Eastern Palace to take office?"
If Sixth Imperial Brother didn't know, then he would have thought that he was going to rob his uncle.
