Chapter 278: That Disappearing Smile
After all, he was a close confidant of the second prince, and Tang Ning was also very polite. Tang Ning smiled modestly: "Oh, Lu Zhan is here, and he is far away!" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, take the liberty to come to the door, it's abrupt!" Lu Ti saluted.
Tang Ning smiled: "Lu Zhan is too polite, please inside!" ”
In the living room, the maid bowed and retired after serving tea. Lu Ti has been looking at it casually, and he is indeed worthy of being a person with deep holy affection, whether it is the emperor's mansion or the maid, there is a kind of wealth and wealth.
I think Tang Ning has only been in Beijing for two years, and his background is not prominent, if he didn't see it with his own eyes, who would have believed that he would be so rich?
"I have heard of Lu Zhan's talents for a long time, but I have never known it, but today Lu Zhan is here, he is really a rare guest, and he is shining!" Tang Ning smiled politely.
Seeing Tang Ning so polite, Lu Ti felt a lot more relieved, although he came to see Tang Ning on a whim, but he was also a little apprehensive when he approached the mansion gate.
After all, Tang Ning often plays cards out of common sense, Lu Ti smiled: "The general is too polite, the lower officials often hear His Royal Highness praise the general, and they are about to hear the cocoon in their ears, and they are very eager for the general, so they take the liberty to come to the door." ”
Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "Your Highness has praised it, praised it." ”
Lu Ti sighed: "His Royal Highness has been very anxious in the past few days, and no one expected that the imperial court would suddenly have a turmoil in Lichu. ”
Tang Ning said with a smile: "The emperor has already held a court meeting, and he has decided not to establish a prince for the time being, and His Royal Highness and Lu Zhan don't have to worry about it." ”
Lu Ti shook his head and said: "In the past few days, His Royal Highness has not entered the palace because he wants to avoid suspicion, and the news is also very closed." ”
Then Lu Ti changed his tone and said with a smile: "I heard that General Tang entered the palace, and the lower officials also heard that General Tang was sorting and playing in the Qianqing Palace, which made the lower officials amazed." ”
This is not a secret, someone who cares can know it with a little inquiry, Tang Ning smiled calmly: "I was arrested by the emperor, and I am also sincerely afraid." ”
Lu Ti sighed: "Alas, it was a happy event that the emperor did not establish a prince for the time being, but His Royal Highness was still in suspense, and the officials persuaded him for a long time, but His Highness was still worried. ”
"So I thought of the general, can the general teach me, how can I comfort His Highness?"
Tang Ning was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he understood the purpose of Lu Ti's visit this time. Lu Ti must have thought that he got some news when he entered the palace, or said something to the emperor.
The problem was that he didn't get any clear information from the emperor, and even if he got any hints from the emperor, he couldn't have told Lu Ti.
First, he won't say this in the house, because the people in the house are too talkative. Second, Lu Ti is not qualified to listen.
Tang Ning pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "I entered the palace to greet the emperor, and the emperor left me to sort the chapters, so I trembled and sorted them all morning. The emperor gave him the imperial meal and returned to the house. ”
"Speaking of which, the emperor gave me a new cook, and I have been indulging in appetite for the past few days, but I didn't know that His Royal Highness was so anxious, Lu Zhan wanted to ask me, but I didn't have a clue for a while."
After listening to Tang Ning's words, Lu Ti immediately fell into deep thought, he thought that Tang Ning had said so much to imply something.
After pondering for a moment, he realized that there seemed to be no hint in it. Among the words Tang Ning said, he went to the palace and came back without doing anything, without any clue at all.
Lu Ti fell silent after hearing this, he didn't know if what Tang Ning said was true or not. It's possible that Downing really doesn't have a clue, or it's possible that Downing knows something but doesn't want to tell him.
And Lu Ti was inclined to the latter, when Tang Ning hurriedly entered the palace directly from the Nanshan camp, it was obviously because of the establishment of the prince.
So how could Downing not have a clue at all? So what did he go to the palace for? Moreover, Tang Ning's holy family is so deep, and Tang Ning is not afraid of heaven and earth.
So it's only possible that Downing didn't want to tell him! After pondering, Lu Ti couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied in his heart, everyone is for His Royal Highness, why hide it? Do you have to say it to His Highness in person, and invite merit and reward?
Lu Ti smiled and said: "Xiaguan, this can be regarded as asking Yu Blind!" It's really reckless to rush to the door today, so I won't bother the general. ”
Tang Ning said with a smile: "The emperor has just rewarded a cook in my house, who is good at Southern Chu flavor, why don't Lu Zhanshi stay and taste it?" ”
Lu Ti got up and said with a smile: "It's abrupt today, so I won't bother the general, and the next official will leave." ”
Tang Ning was just polite, although he stood on the side of the second prince, but he did not work, and he didn't want to be too involved with the second prince's people.
Sending Lu Ti out of the house, Tang Ning shook his head and walked back, he had already figured it out, Lu Ti's rash arrival today should not be the order of the second prince.
The second prince was very cautious, and the last time the second prince invited him, he still went to the Liufang River for a boat. Now is a sensitive time, how could the second prince let Zhan Shi beside him visit the mansion in a grand manner?
Lu Zhan pouted a little after leaving the house, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with coming to see Tang Ning today. After all, the emperor's will has come down, and the turmoil of the prince has subsided.
And he also has a small calculation in his heart, the emperor wants to establish a prince within three years, and he is also fighting for Tang Ning, no matter what Tang Ning thinks in his heart, outsiders must think that Tang Ning has served His Royal Highness.
What made him a little dissatisfied in his heart was that Tang Ning even hid the people around him, the second highness, from his close relatives.
Lu Zhanshi took his family and was about to return home, but was suddenly stopped. is also an old acquaintance of Lu Zhanshi, the guard next to the second prince.
"Lord Lu, Your Highness is invited."
Lu Ti, who originally planned to go back to the palace, followed the guards to the prince's mansion, and he understood that His Royal Highness knew that he was going to visit Tang Ning, so he couldn't wait to know the result.
It's just a pity that Tang Ning is so tight-lipped about him, which makes it difficult for him to behave in front of His Highness.
There is a pot of fine wine on the stone table of white marble among the flowers, and the second prince is standing among the flowers and looking at the brilliant smoke in the sky.
Lu Ti stepped forward and said respectfully: "Your Highness, are you looking for me?" ”
"You're going to see Downing?" A faint voice sounded.
"Yes, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Majesty ......"
Before Lu Ti's words were finished, the second prince had already turned around and interrupted: "Who told you to go?" ”
Lu Ti looked up a little stunned, and found that the second prince's face was calm, and the smile that was often puffed was gone.
This made Lu Ti a little unfamiliar, because in his memory, when he saw the second prince, he could always see the smile on the second prince's mouth.
Even if the eldest prince suddenly provoked a storm in Lichu, even if the situation was very unfavorable to the second prince, there was still a smile on the second prince's lips.
