Pei Wanying, who hid in the carriage, had no place to hide, so she had to find a corner to sit down in the carriage. Although the carriage was smaller than the prince's carriage, it had everything inside, and there were many furnishings. With minimal daily necessities and even spending the night in the carriage, it was completely worry-free.
Hua Meng and Jingzhe were in charge of driving. As soon as the carriage door opened, Pei Wanying in the corner of the carriage began to feel her heart beat faster. It had never happened to her to sit alone in the same carriage with the prince. And with that person's character, who knew he was Wouldn't it embarrass yourself again
Thinking of this, Pei Wanying suddenly stood up and quickly pulled down the thick curtains on the windows around the carriage, regardless of whether Prince Li Hong was getting on the carriage.
Li Hong stepped into the carriage and saw Pei Wanying quickly pulling the left curtain, while the front and right curtains were already tightly closed.
"You... what are you doing?" The car door behind Li Hong was closed, and he looked at Pei Wanying with a strange expression.
Pei Wanying looked back at Li Hong, tilted her head and looked at Li Hong's clear and bright eyes with doubts. She suddenly felt that she had thought too much. The prince didn't seem to want to bully her.
So all of a sudden, the flawless white jade cheeks, centered on the two exquisite dimples, gained a faint blush.
"No...it's nothing." Pei Wanying was almost dying of embarrassment. Was it because she longed for the prince to bully her
But no matter what, seeing the prince walking towards her, Pei Wanying quickly took a few steps back, turned around and quickly closed the car curtain behind her, and then immediately turned around.
Just when he turned around, he felt as if he had hit a wall. He looked up in a hurry and saw the prince looking down at him with a smile. Finally, there was a light in his eyes that made him nervous, and he seemed to be looking forward to it in his heart. .
In a daze, the male scent that she would only dream about came from the tip of her nose, reaching straight into her heart and spleen. The blush on her face became more and more endearing, and her heart began to beat rapidly again. Unknowingly, a pair of hands It was already wrapped around her slender and beautiful waist.
Li Hong greedily sniffed the fragrance of Pei Wanying's hair. With nephrite in his arms, a virgin fragrance mixed with a hint of perfume suddenly filled the tip of his nose.
"You are so thoughtful, are you afraid of being seen by people outside..." Li Hong lowered his head and looked at Pei Wanying who had lowered her head shyly and rested her forehead on his chest nervously, and joked.
"No, I... I'm hot... in the sun... um..." Pei Wanying heard the bad guy's joke in Fang's heart, raised her head and stared into her beautiful eyes, and she just retorted halfway.
Even Pei Wanying herself found the lame reason ridiculous. Why did she feel hot in the winter? Although it wasn't cold in the car, it didn't say it was hot, but it was hot, right? Pei Wanying mentally defended her lame excuse.
"Your Highness..." Hua Meng's voice suddenly sounded from the carriage.
"What's the matter?"
"Master Jinghui, Minister of the Ministry of Finance, asks for an audience." Hua Meng's voice sounded again, and then came Jinghui's voice that made Li Hong hate it at this moment and wanted to be kicked to the edge of the sky: "I have seen Jinghui. Your Highness."
"Damn it, you didn't come earlier, you came here later, but you came here at this time. If you have something to do, you can't tell it later, you can't tell it earlier! It has to be at this time!" Li Hong sat in the carriage with a dissatisfied expression. muttered.
"I'll bypass you for today."
Seeing Li Hong's appearance, Pei Wanying knew that Jinghui might get on the carriage soon, so she shook her head proudly, made a face at Li Hong, then took the initiative to get up from Li Hong's arms, sat next to him, and began to talk to the prince. At the signal, she was ready to pour tea and water, playing the role of a maid.
Jinghui walked to the carriage respectfully. After the door was opened by Hua Meng, he first thanked Hua Meng and saluted, and then carefully stepped onto the carriage, but he also knew that his position could only be in the carriage. There was someone standing at the door, and he went inside without the prince's instructions. He didn't have the courage yet.
"Why are you standing there in a daze? Come and sit down." Li Hong pointed to the place in front of An and said.
"Yes, Your Highness." Jinghui didn't look sideways, as if Pei Wanying next to him didn't exist. He walked straight to the table, saluted Li Hong again, then paused, saluted Pei Wanying again, and said, "Your Majesty. Jing Hui has met Miss Pei."
The unsuspecting Pei Wanying was startled. Why did the dignified Minister of Household Affairs salute to her? This is a high-ranking official with the same rank as his father, and he even calls himself a lower official! How can a little girl like myself afford it
So after watching Jinghui salute, she hurriedly put down the cup in her hand and prepared to stand up to return the salute. However, as soon as she put down the cup, Li Hong patted her gently on the back of her hand, indicating that she should continue her work.
"What's wrong at this time?" Li Hong asked, looking at Jing Hui sitting in front of him.
"Yes, your highness, I have something to ask of you, and I hope your highness will agree to do it for me." Jinghui lowered his head, as if he had made a mistake, and said in a low voice.
"What's the matter? What's the matter? You tell me first. If it doesn't violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty, we can discuss it." Li Hong was a little surprised. Jinghui had followed him since he was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, dealing with people and accepting people. I have always been modest and prudent in dealing with things, so I cannot make any mistakes.
Jinghui moved a little uncomfortably, looked up at Li Hong, thought about it for a moment, and mustered up the courage to say: "Now there are rumors in the court that the post of Minister Youpushe will be vacant... "
"What? Do you have any ideas?" Li Hong interrupted Jinghui and asked.
Although he had considered the possibility of Jinghui, after thinking about it, his prestige in the court was still a bit low. When he was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he was promoted beyond the level. Now, if he directly moved to Youpushe, it would not be unreasonable. Yes, it's just that at this juncture when Li Xian is causing trouble, it's easy to tell the truth, so until now, he hasn't been involved in the affairs of the court regarding Shangshu Shengyoupushe.
"Uh... Your Highness, you are joking, I... I am self-aware. In the past few years in the Ministry of Household Affairs, it was only under your wings that I kept the Ministry of Household Affairs in good order and did not achieve any political achievements. I dare not think so. "Jinghui was startled by Li Hong's words. How could he dare to think about the position of his right servant
That position was not something he could do now, so for his future career, after discussing with Lin Shiling, the two of them felt that if they wanted to be in the court and be able to become the right-hand man of His Highness the Crown Prince in the future, then You have to go out and get some experience. Otherwise, if you just stay in the Chang'an court, you can be promoted, but you won't be able to give the prince much help.
Just like this time, Pei King Li Xian blamed the death of Liang Wang Li Zhong and Helan Minyue on His Highness the Crown Prince. However, what they can do for His Highness the Crown Prince is really limited. Whether it is prestige or connections, they cannot be above the court at all. , what advantage can be gained among the party members.
"Then what do you want?" Li Hong smiled slightly. He had roughly guessed what Jing Hui was thinking.
However, he has not told anyone about this idea yet. Could it be that Jinghui is already able to figure out what he is thinking
"I... I want to go out and have some experience. Although I can learn a lot from many ministers in the Chang'an court, I feel that if I want to be responsible, I still need to have some experience. In this way, Only then can we truly relieve His Highness's worries and problems in the near future." Jinghui stuttered on his last words, and sweat began to form on his forehead.
This sentence was not originally intended to be said, but when Lin Shiling came, he warned her that this sentence must be said to let His Highness understand your intentions and loyalty. Otherwise, if His Highness has other plans, you will Because of this change in the court, you will lose a great opportunity. Even if His Highness sends you out in the future, it will be difficult to find a place where you can fully display your talents.
