Chapter 327 Refusal to attend
The housekeeper was still waiting for a reply. Xia Yechen was lost for a while, then nodded hesitantly, "Go and report back. I will pay you a visit in person someday."
Although he has never met this brother, in the final analysis, this is his half-brother. Prince Jing has definitely become enemies with him, but Prince Fu is obviously different. To a certain extent, Xia Yechen still hopes that he can Make good friends with this big brother.
Even if this is the Hongmen Banquet, at least there is no news yet that Prince Jing and Prince Fu have teamed up to target him.
What's more, as a newly found younger brother, he has no reason to reject his brother's overtures, so... you will know what is right and wrong after a visit, it is just a matter of learning a lesson and gaining wisdom.
Thinking about it, Xia Yechen also relaxed, called back the housekeeper and asked him to prepare a gift to send over, and set the time for tomorrow morning.
The time on the invitation was also the same, so King Fu was not surprised when he received the news. He nodded and smiled and asked the butler to clean up and wait for the guests.
At the same time, the news has reached the ears of interested people.
In fact, Prince Jing had not cared about Prince Fu for a long time before this. After all, he had been ill for many years. Even though there were still people who thought that the eldest son was a favorable candidate for the position of crown prince, after Prince Fu retreated without a fight, the ministers in the court All of them are extremely sad.
If Xia Yechen hadn't appeared temporarily, Prince Jing might have been able to unite with other courtiers to elevate him to the position of crown prince soon, but who would have thought that Xia Yechen would appear unexpectedly.
This is also the most fundamental conflict between Xia Yechen and Prince Jing. It is almost irreconcilable because Prince Jing does not trust him at all.
But this is too far to say, now after all
Differently, Xia Yechen was quite popular with the emperor, so if Prince Jing wanted to remain calm, he would have to muddy the waters.
I originally thought that calculations were indispensable, but Prince Fu actually took the initiative to invite Xia Yechen to talk to him?
This is really a strange thing, even Prince Jing thinks so.
He squinted his eyes. He didn't care much at first. He thought it was a good thing that Prince Fu could go out and wade through the muddy water by himself, so as to save him from having to make more calculations.
But when I thought about it, I felt it was wrong. How could it be such a coincidence and invite Xia Yechen at this time? Could it be that the two of them had already reached a consensus in private, and now they were putting on a show for him?
Prince Jing actually didn't care about the forces around Prince Fu for a long time. As a sick man, when he gave up his power and settled down in a corner, he was doomed to failure. No one would elect a cowardly and restless sick man to become the prince.
Even if King Fu has a good reputation, so what? He is just an auspicious Buddha. In terms of power and status, how can he compare to me?
Prince Jing was very pleased with himself. When he saw Prince Fu, he felt that his efforts over the years had not been in vain. But when he saw Xia Yechen again, he was quite angry. With old and new grudges, how could Prince Jing allow them to get their wish.
He sneered and said, "This news comes just in time. I just want to chat with my brothers."
"Since the eldest brother has invited the younger brother first, then I, the king, should be an uninvited guest and shamelessly go over to connect and bond."
After hearing this, the housekeeper quickly asked if he should take the initiative to hand over the post.
Before he could finish his words, Prince Jing waved his hand to veto him. He was quite thick-skinned and pointed out without hesitation: "What are you afraid of?"
Well, I am just an uninvited guest. If there is anything shameful about the two brothers, why should I not be allowed to go over and have a look? "
This was quite a strong statement, but the housekeeper obviously couldn't refute it, and the other two parties actually didn't do much to hide it. Prince Fu didn't care at all whether Prince Jing would come over.
Anyway, what he was curious about was just the woman who said "everyone is equal". It was said that she was upright and not afraid of the shadow.
The next day, the appointed time soon arrived, and Xia Yechen had finished packing and preparing the thank-you gifts. Song Ling next to him asked.
"Master, would you like to take Miss Zhou with you? Yingmei reported earlier that the girl has been very bored recently."
When he mentioned this, Xia Yechen suddenly remembered. He thought about it for a while and nodded, thinking that Prince Fu was famously kind and wouldn't mind those etiquettes too much.
Besides, no matter what, Zhou Xiaoyuan is his legitimate wife. Even though the canonization ceremony has not yet arrived, it is still the same after all.
After saying that, Xia Yechen turned around and went to find Zhou Xiaoyuan, but unexpectedly, Zhou Xiaoyuan did not want to see him in the room.
For a moment, Xia Yechen thought that he had done something wrong again. His heart was raised, and he asked cautiously: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? How about I ask the palace doctor to come over and take a look at you?"
The voice coming from the closed door was normal, and her voice sounded steady, not like she was angry, but she said: "It's okay."
"I just don't want to go out. Haven't you already made an appointment? Go quickly and don't waste time. The master must have been preparing for a long time."
This is the truth,
but……
Xia Yechen couldn't help but ask again: "Are you really okay?"
As soon as this question was asked, the sneers from the room were extremely obvious. Zhou Xiaoyuan snorted clearly and said, "Otherwise, do you still hope that something will happen to me?"
"Besides, Prince Fu is your brother. If you continue to delay like this, it may be difficult for Concubine Shu to explain to you."
Calling Concubine Shu back again... Xia Yechen felt helpless. He rubbed his head and said, "Okay, then if you have anything to do, just let Yingmei..."
"Okay, I don't want to get involved with you royal people. I have to go quickly."
Zhou Xiaoyuan looked unhappy to the naked eye, and Xia Yechen had no choice but to take the first step and go alone. However, he bumped into Mo Bai on the way, who had come to look for Xia Yechen.
Seeing Xia Yechen looking like he was about to go out, Mobai looked back and took stock before saying, "Where are you going to have fun, and aren't you taking your beloved wife with you?"
How could Xia Yechen not hear the ridicule in these words?
However, he had no intention of flirting with Mo Bai now, and the two of them were familiar friends, so Xia Yechen simply shook his head.
"I'm not going to some place to have fun, but simply to visit King Fu. This is the first time I've met this brother. I don't know what the situation is... As for Yuanyuan, she is still in a bad mood."
Xia Yechen spoke hesitantly, but he made things clear. Mo Bai was thoughtful and couldn't help but patted Xia Yechen's shoulder and sighed.
"It seems that you have a long road ahead, but Miss Zhou is a considerate person. Maybe she will figure it out on her own in a few days.
. "
This comfort seemed like no comfort at all. Xia Yechen smiled bitterly and could only follow the words: "I hope so."
