"Prince, it's really bad that your carriage is blocked here. The road is not wide and you have blocked half of it." King Jing Pei Yusheng reached out and patted the carriage of Crown Prince Pei Luoan with a look of surprise, as if he had really bumped into it accidentally.
Actually, it’s not really a collision.
It was just that Pei Yusheng's carriage was a little faster, and the horse's hind legs brushed against the back of the Crown Prince's carriage.
The carriage of Crown Prince Pei Luoan was parked there before. It was a large carriage with exquisite embroidery with golden dots, and it was obvious that he was of a very high status.
Of course, their identities were very important in the eyes of others, but it was very clear in front of Pei Yusheng that this was the carriage of Crown Prince Pei Luoan. When they left the palace just now, the two of them got on the carriage almost one after the other. He saw it clearly at the time, but he didn't care. The two carriages separated after going for a while. He didn't expect to meet them again here.
Seeing the prince's carriage parked on the side of the road, he came over!
"Prince, I am so sorry. I apologize to you. It was my carriage that accidentally hit your Royal Highness's carriage." Pei Yusheng said, and then he smiled at Pei Luoan, who had a livid face. He even bowed respectfully, making a very proper gesture, as if he really didn't mean to be hit by anyone.
This road is actually very wide. Although the prince's carriage was parked on the side of the road, it did not occupy most of the road surface. As long as you are careful, it is absolutely impossible to hit it.
But the carriage parked on the side of the road was hit just like that, as if it had no eyes.
If it was really an accident, others would believe it, but Crown Prince Pei Luoan would definitely not believe it. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth secretly, but he couldn't really do anything to Pei Yusheng. After all, he didn't lose anything, but this damaged his face.
The crown prince of a country was bumped into by an ordinary prince, but he just apologized perfunctorily. This apology even had other meanings, as if he had deliberately stopped here to block Pei Yusheng's way.
Pei Yusheng really looks just like her treacherous concubine's mother.
"Second brother, my carriage is just parked here and it doesn't occupy most of the street. How come other carriages passed by without any problem, but crashed into you when they arrived here?" Pei Luoan sneered.
He couldn't show weakness to Pei Yusheng. He was the crown prince. Whether he was injured or not was irrelevant. The most important thing was that he, the crown prince, couldn't be weaker than King Jing.
"Your Highness, I was really wrong in this matter. It was my carriage that was blind. I will prepare gifts to apologize to Your Highness when I return. I hope Your Highness will forgive me." Pei Yusheng said this beautifully, and it sounded beautiful too. He did not avoid admitting his mistakes at all.
But the way he spoke was extremely irritating.
He raised his head high and looked at Pei Luoan who was standing on the steps beside him. His eyes were narrowed with a hint of inexplicable sarcasm, which made people feel inexplicably that he was a provocation.
This so-called "sincere" apology immediately makes people feel sarcastic.
"You are too polite, brother. Actually, there is no need to go through so much trouble. I just hope that you can see things more clearly in the future. It is not a big deal that you bumped into me today, after all, I am your elder brother. But if you bumped into someone else, it would be bad. This is the capital, even if we are princes, it is the same."
Pei Luoan warned coldly.
"What the prince said is true, and my father also said that I should listen to the prince.
The prince's meaning is naturally what I mean, but I am not good at words. " Pei Yusheng said with a smile.
Pei Luoan's meaning was that even if the prince made a mistake, he would be guilty of the same crime as the common people. When it came to Pei Yusheng, it immediately became that the prince's meaning was naturally not the meaning of others, so what about the prince's meaning? Of course, no one else could disobey it.
In a word, the two brothers seemed peaceful in their exchange, and even the prince showed a smile on his face, but in fact, their exchange was as sharp as swords.
When these two people were talking, naturally no one else dared to make any sound, for fear of disturbing them. Everyone even lowered their heads, stopped, and dared not to look at their expressions.
This section of the street, except for these two people, seemed to be still.
Qu Moying also lowered his head, but listened attentively to the conversation between the two. The corners of his lips curled up silently. Pei Luoan was the crown prince of a country, but when facing Pei Yusheng, he still did not get the upper hand, and even felt aggrieved.
She felt mocked, and a hint of coldness gathered in the depths of her eyes, diluting the sarcastic smile at the corners of her lips.
Even if he tried his best, his position as the crown prince was not so secure. Blood debt must be repaid with blood. Every time they met, she deeply felt the hatred that was deep in his bones.
Another carriage came, with the sound of wheels rolling and the sound of uniform footsteps. No one knew who was coming. Many people who were standing quietly heard it, but no one dared to look up. No matter who came, seeing this scene, they would definitely dismount and wait obediently on the side.
But the next moment, no one expected two loud "bangs" and "bangs", followed by the sharp neighing of a horse, and someone shouted in surprise: "Protect the prince!"
"Protect His Royal Highness Prince Jing!"
Is this an assassin
So everyone was startled and subconsciously looked up, and even retreated to both sides uncontrollably. If there really was an assassin, they didn't know if the two masters would be in danger. They, the passers-by, were the most likely to get into trouble. Swords and knives have no eyes, and no one knew if the sword was flying towards them.
Moreover, even if they didn't die in the assassin's sword, what would happen after the matter was settled? They would certainly be called in for questioning one by one, and no one wanted to be interrogated in the government office.
Passersby groaned inwardly.
Qu Moying also looked up subconsciously, and when he saw clearly the overly large carriage parked next to the prince's carriage and King Jing's carriage, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
Compared to the carriages of the Crown Prince and King Jing, this carriage was really spacious and took up the most space. The originally wide road was occupied by this carriage, making it basically difficult for other carriages to pass. The most important thing was that this carriage bumped into the carriages of King Jing and the Crown Prince one after another.
The curtain of the carriage was rolled up, and Pei Yuanjun could be seen leaning on the couch in the carriage. He seemed to have just taken a short nap, and his eyes slowly closed, looking expressionlessly at his two nephews opposite him.
"Why are you making a scene on the street if you're not going back?"
"Uncle Wang, it was my second brother who bumped into my carriage parked on the side of the road." Pei Luoan reacted quickly this time. After finding out it was Pei Yuanjun, he quickly calmed down, pushed away the guards blocking his way, walked to the carriage and saluted respectfully to Pei Yuanjun.
"Uncle Wang, the Crown Prince's carriage has taken up most of the street.
When I came here, I didn't pay attention and accidentally wiped it. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very unhappy. "Pei Yusheng was also good at complaining, and his reaction was also not slow. After Pei Luoan finished speaking, he immediately expressed his meaning clearly.
Etiquette is even more of a rule.
The two of them were very skilled at shifting the blame.
"Prince Jing, even though the Crown Prince's carriage takes up more road space, you still need to see it clearly and not just rub against it casually!" Pei Yuanjun said with a smile as he glanced at Pei Yusheng.
"Yes, Uncle Wang, I won't do it again!" Pei Yusheng listened obediently.
This sounds like it's on the side of the prince, but the man just now really bumped into it directly, and several people even saw that the back corner of the prince's carriage was knocked crooked. Compared to the just a slight rub by King Jing, this Prince of Yun was much more serious.
But even so, the prince did not repeat what he had just said to King Jing, and clenched his fists in anger.
He gnashed his teeth in hatred. He was the crown prince and the future king. He didn't know what his father was thinking. He actually favored Pei Yuanjun again and again, making the crown prince feel like stepping aside.
He could scold Pei Yusheng, but not Pei Yuanjun. Resentment was revealed in his slightly lowered eyes.
"The prince is going to this shop. Is there something wrong?" Pei Yuanjun seemed not to notice Pei Luoan's suppressed anger. He pointed to the shop in front of him. Pei Luoan's carriage was parked here. He was now standing on the steps in front of the shop. He must have just come out when he saw his carriage being hit.
"I just don't want to go back in a hurry, so I just want to walk around and have a look." Pei Luoan smiled, and when he looked up again, he looked calm and relaxed again.
"Prince, is this shop owned by your family?" Pei Yusheng looked at the shop behind him curiously, as if he didn't understand what Pei Luoan had just said.
"No, just taking a casual walk!" Pei Luoan said in a gentle voice.
"I thought this also belonged to the Crown Princess... Oh no, it's the concubine's dowry. I've never seen the Crown Prince like to come to this kind of place before." Pei Yusheng changed his words forcefully.
As for the so-called Crown Princess's dowry, the only one who actually sits on the position of Crown Princess now is Ji Hanyue. Ji Hanyue's dowry was previously snatched away by Ji Youran, which caused many jokes in the capital. The Crown Prince was also reported to the court by the officials, which was extremely embarrassing.
Pei Luoan's smile faded and he sank slightly: "My second brother's ears are not very good. I am just upset and just walking around casually."
"Are you upset because of the matter concerning County Lord Jingyu?" Pei Yusheng seemed not to notice his words. Every word he said was trying to make Pei Luoan uncomfortable. After thinking for a moment, he asked with a smile.
"Second brother, it's over!" Pei Luoan turned cold, then looked at Pei Yuanjun in the carriage: "Uncle Wang, I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you. I'll take my leave first."
"Prince, please go and do your work!" Pei Yuanjun smiled and waved his hand. His carriage backed up, and the prince got on his own carriage and left.
“Uncle Wang…” Pei Yusheng was very satisfied. It was a rare opportunity for him to save the prince’s face with the help of Pei Yuanjun, and he was in a very good mood.
Pei Yuanjun narrowed his eyes and interrupted him rudely: "Prince Jing, why don't you go and do the task assigned by the emperor? Do you want me to do it?"
Pei Yusheng seemed to be choked by this sentence, and his face immediately turned ugly.
