Chapter 300: Showmanship
No matter what the eldest prince wants to make trouble, as long as he makes enough gestures, then in the end he will make trouble in front of the emperor, and he is also on his side.
The eldest prince smiled: "Excuse me!" β
He was so happy that he was exempted? Tang Ning was a little surprised when he heard this, but he smiled slightly: "Your Highness Xie." β
Could it be that the eldest prince summoned him with a smile just to make him salute? It's not a humiliation, is it? Tang Ning was a little surprised, but he didn't let his guard down.
The eldest prince smiled and said: "When I came to Fangshan yesterday, I heard that my father gave you the courtyard. That courtyard is the courtyard when the father was in the palace, and the father can reward the courtyard to you, which shows your appreciation, and you should also cherish the other courtyard. β
Because the surroundings were very quiet, the words of the eldest prince sounded very clear. It is not surprising that Tang Ning was given the Fangshan Villa by the emperor.
After all, when it comes to his holy family, everyone in the capital has to praise it, and they are envious in their hearts. But when they heard the eldest prince mention the annex, they were still a little confused.
The annex? Which annex?
It turned out to be an annex to the Emperor's Residence. After everyone heard this, they all ate it, and they knew that Tang Ning must have appeared here because the emperor rewarded him with another courtyard, but they didn't expect that the emperor rewarded him with another courtyard when he was in the emperor's palace.
The courtyard of the Emperor's residence has been almost forgotten, because it has been vacant for more than ten years. I didn't expect it to be given to Downing now.
The eyes of everyone looking at Tang Ning were very complicated, and they couldn't even feel envious in their hearts. I really can't envy this.
Whether it is the eldest princess or the prince, or the prince or the head of the cabinet, no one has ever been able to get this annex, and that courtyard finally fell into the hands of Tang Ning.
Sooner or later, this matter will spread, but now that the eldest prince suddenly said it, Tang Ning really felt uncomfortable in his heart, because there were too many eyes on him.
Tang Ning was still a little surprised in his heart, because the words of the eldest prince had no effect on him, let alone humiliation.
Tang Ning, who had always been vigilant in his heart, couldn't understand what the significance of the eldest prince's move was.
With thoughts flying in his heart, Tang Ning bowed down and said: "Thank you for your teachings, the lower officials must take care of the other courtyard and not touch a single grass or tree in it." β
The eldest prince nodded with a smile and said, "Well, it's good that you can have this heart." β
Hearing the eldest prince greet Tang Ning, the second prince couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, just as Tang Ning thought in his heart, thinking that the eldest prince was going to make some kind of trouble.
The second prince raised his eyebrows, not because he was worried, but in anticipation. He wished that the eldest prince would make some kind of trouble.
Especially for Tang Ning, for him, the more fierce the trouble, the better. If the two of them have a quarrel because of this, it will be the best.
But his expectations were disappointed. The eldest prince didn't make any trouble, but talked about the affairs of the other courtyard as if chatting.
Oh, when did the eldest prince become so approachable? When did the mustard between the Great Prince and Downing unravel?
The second prince still smiled modestly on his face, but he regretted in his heart, although the smile on the eldest prince's face was a little unnatural, but he also had to say that this method was very clever.
It seems that the eldest prince is not surrounded by straw bags like Qiu Jin, and there are also masters with outstanding resourcefulness.
The second prince smiled and said: "Brother Bai is worried, I also went to Tang Ning's courtyard yesterday, and Tang Ning still loves the courtyard very much." β
The eldest prince smiled with some surprise: "Oh? Has the royal brother been to another courtyard? β
The second prince smiled: "Yes, I want to see what the courtyard was like when my father was in the palace, so I cheekily came to enjoy it." β
Tang Ning said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness is laughing, it's too late for the official to welcome you." β
The eldest prince smiled and said: "In this way, the palace is also curious about the courtyard when the father and emperor were in the palace!" β
Tang Ning said with a smile: "If Your Highness wants to visit the garden, then the official must be waiting." β
The eldest prince nodded with satisfaction, smiled and said a few words, and then smiled and greeted other officials again.
Tang Ning silently retreated to the edge again, feeling inexplicable at the eldest prince's move. Could it be that the eldest prince suddenly wanted to open it? Thinking about easing the relationship between the two?
It doesn't seem necessary, does it? Even if the eldest prince really wanted to ease the relationship, Tang Ning didn't dare to believe it? After all, people's hearts are separated from their bellies.
Thinking that the eldest prince would not be so naΓ―ve as to think that if he said a few words with him with a pleasant face, he would be moved.
Thinking of the somewhat false smile on the face of the eldest prince, it seems that everything is clear. The prince of affection is putting on a show.
Setbacks make people grow! Even the domineering character of the eldest prince began to show off with a false smile!
Tang Ning suddenly thought of a question, didn't Emperor Lao Tzu want him to be a whetstone and polish the prince's temperament?
If this is the case, then Tang Ning can't help but slander the emperor, isn't he afraid that the whetstone will eventually be trampled into powder?
The two princes are still like stars holding the moon, and although Tang Ning is silently standing on the edge, there are still many eyes around him. They all had curiosity in their eyes.
They speculated in their hearts whether the relationship between the eldest prince and Tang Ning had eased. However, seeing that Tang Ning didn't take the initiative to come forward to salute, it didn't seem like it.
Regardless of whether the relationship eases or not, the eldest prince can take the initiative to greet Tang Ning with a smile, which shows the mind of the eldest prince.
I have to say that the eldest prince's actions today are very eye-catching, if these reach the emperor's ears, the emperor must be very pleased.
With the arrival of the outpost guards, the foot of the mountain slowly calmed down, because it meant that the emperor's royal car was about to arrive.
The civil and military nobles at the foot of the mountain spontaneously began to line up, although it was not as strict as the arrangement of the Ministry of Rites during the ceremony, but they all had self-knowledge in their hearts, so they could be regarded as presentable.
The two princes stood at the front, while Downing stood at the back. Although many officials humbled Tang Ning during this period, Tang Ning still insisted on standing behind.
Most of the officials at the foot of the mountain have a second-grade official body or above, even a third-grade civil official like Lord Rong still has a second-rank false title like the prince and young master.
There are fewer civil officials, and there are more military attachΓ©s and nobles, so the positions where Tang Ning and Lord Rong stand are quite close.
However, Lord Rong knew Tang Ning, but Tang Ning did not know Lord Rong. At this time, Tang Ning was still a little puzzled in his heart, who was this little old man.
There were many eyes looking at Tang Ning, but this little old man's eyes were even more visible, and even a little blatant.
When Tang Ning looked over, the little old man smiled at Tang Ning. This made Tang Ning even more puzzled, because no matter how he looked at it, he also felt that he didn't know this little old man in a three-grade official uniform.
