Chapter 102 Youning, why do you also find him annoying?
Yu Mubai said he was leaving and left three days later.
The speed is so fast that people can't react in time.
If it were in the past, with the relationship with Yu Youning, the emperor would have tried to keep her no matter what.
But now, the competition is imminent, and people from Nanzhao and Xiliang may arrive early. No matter how reluctant I am, I can only send them away.
When Yu Mubai and Li Shuhe left, the emperor personally led all the officials to the city gate to see them off, giving them enough face.
A scene like this might not be seen once in several years, so naturally people talked about it with relish and discussed it over and over again for several days.
It was not until half a month later, when the Nanzhao Kingdom's delegation was about to enter the capital, that the emperor asked the prince to lead people to welcome them. Only then did the hot topic in the capital change.
The prince was wearing a bright yellow court robe, his hair was combed neatly and inserted with a jade hairpin that was completely green, and he had a perfect smile on his face.
But compared with usual days, the prince was less friendly and more dignified at this moment, making people dare not underestimate him.
In addition to the prince, Yu Youning and Huo Qingchen were also there, and of course Wei Zhao was also present.
Huo Qingchen and Yu Youning stood together.
They had been standing there for a quarter of an hour, but still could not see any sign of the Nanzhao delegation.
If it were the old Huo Qingchen, he would have collapsed long ago.
But now, since he started practicing calligraphy, Huo Qingchen's patience has become better and better.
Although he was still somewhat unhappy in his heart, his body did not move at all, which seemed to be very well behaved.
But if you look closely, you can see that Huo Qingchen's mouth is always moving.
"Youning, how long do you think we have to stand here?"
"The prince can come to greet him by himself, why bring us along?"
"Seventh Prince, your Nanzhao Kingdom's delegation is too slow. When will it arrive?"
"I heard that the people coming this time include your royal brother and your cousin. Are they powerful?"
Huo Qingchen never stopped talking, one sentence after another, without stopping.
Wei Zhao pretended not to hear anything and just looked outside the city gate.
As for Yu Youning, she never stopped talking.
Whenever he finished eating, Yu Youning would quickly raise his hand and stuff another piece of food into his mouth.
Afraid that others would notice her, she raised her hands and covered her cheeks with her tender white hands, trying to hide it.
But what she didn't know was that the more she did this, the more clearly others could see it.
However, no one would accuse me of being picky at this time.
Yu Youning is truly the girl of destiny!
He had prayed successfully before and welcomed the Teng Snake, making him a hero of the entire Dayong!
It's just a bite to eat, what's the big deal?
She's only five years old! What's wrong with liking to eat a little?
Everyone thought so in their hearts, and when they looked at Yu Youning, their eyes became more loving.
At this moment, someone suddenly became alert.
“Here I come!”
Hearing this, everyone calmed down and looked outside the city gate at the same time.
Then I saw a group of carriages and horses approaching.
There was a flag flying on the carriage, and it was the flag of the Nanzhao Kingdom!
As the carriage slowly stopped after entering the city, Chu Huaixu also walked forward at this time.
The curtain of the first carriage was lifted and someone came out.
This man was slightly taller than Chu Huaixu, well-dressed, and had an extraordinary appearance and demeanor.
He looks 50% similar to Wei Zhao.
With this appearance, coupled with his age, his identity is self-evident.
The third prince of Nanzhao Kingdom and the legitimate son of the Empress, Wei Xu.
Nanzhao did not appoint a crown prince.
Although Wei Xu was not the eldest son, he was the legitimate son and was highly valued by the Emperor of Nanzhao. He was the highest-ranking among all the princes of Nanzhao.
"Greetings, Your Highness." Wei Xu said with a smile, his attitude rather gentle. "Thank you for coming to greet me, Your Highness."
The smile on Chu Huaixu's face was even gentler than Wei Xu's. "The Third Prince has come from afar, and as the host, it is my duty to greet him."
"The Third Prince is exhausted from the journey. How about going to the inn to rest up first?"
"Your Highness is very thoughtful! Thank you very much, Your Highness!"
Wei Xu said this, but did not get in the car immediately. Instead, he looked at Wei Zhao.
"Seventh brother." Wei Xu's smile became even brighter, and his voice was very gentle, like a good brother.
He waved at Wei Zhao, "Seventh brother, why don't you come over? We haven't seen each other for a while, don't you recognize your third brother?"
"When your mother learned that I was coming to Nanzhao this time, she came to see me and asked me to bring you a letter and some things."
"Brother, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Why don't you take a car with me and catch up with me later?"
As he spoke, Wei Xu looked at Chu Huaixu again, "Your Highness, may I reminisce with my seventh brother?"
"Of course! Please do as you wish, Third Prince!"
Chu Huaixu had just finished speaking when Wei Zhao walked over.
"Greetings, Third Brother." Wei Zhao saluted.
Only after Wei Zhao finished his greetings did Wei Xu hurriedly reach out to help him, saying, "Seventh brother, why are you always so polite? I've told you more than once that we are brothers, and there's no need for such formalities. Let's go, get in the car first, I have a lot to say to you!"
Wei Zhao lowered his eyebrows, and it was impossible to tell what his expression was. He just responded softly and followed everyone into the carriage.
As the carriage gradually drove away, Huo Qingchen snorted, "This Third Prince is so annoying!"
Yu Youning nodded in agreement, "I think he's annoying too!"
Hearing this, Huo Qingchen thought of Yu Youning with some curiosity.
"Youning, why do you also find him annoying?"
"He just waited until Wei Zhao finished his formal greetings before saying there was no need to do so." Yu Youning wrinkled her nose. "My mother said this kind of behavior is called duplicity, it's hypocrisy! It's disgusting!"
Huo Qingchen suddenly understood. "Just now, I just felt uncomfortable and disgusted, but I didn't understand what I disliked. Now that you put it, I understand instantly. He is so hypocritical, will he bully Wei Zhao?"
Yu Youning rolled his eyes, "How about...we secretly follow and take a look?"
Huo Qingchen was a fearless person to begin with. Upon hearing this, he instantly became interested. "Okay! Let's go! Let's catch up!"
The two men were about to run away after discussing it, but were caught the next moment.
Yu Youning turned around and saw that the person holding his arm was none other than Chu Huaixu.
Chu Huaixu's eyes were also full of helplessness. He had just walked over when he heard the two people say that they hated Wei Xu.
What made Chu Huaixu even more amused and helpless was that the two of them seemed to have not noticed that he had come over at all. They were still huddled together to discuss things and even went to watch the fun!
If he hadn't held them back, they would probably have followed the delegation openly like this!
Yu Youning exerted a little force and broke free from Chu Huaixu's hand, "Why are you holding me?"
Huo Qingchen also said with a stern face, "Wei Zhao is our friend! Our friend is being bullied, can't we go and take a look?"
"Yes, yes!" Yu Youning nodded vigorously, "Can't we go and take a look?"
Looking at the two of them who were united in their hatred of a common enemy, Chu Huaixu felt both amused and helpless.
The two of them acted as if he was the one bullying Wei Zhao!
Chu Huaixu lowered his voice and explained, "It's not that I don't allow you to go, but you can't go so blatantly. Come with me to the carriage, and I'll take you in through the side door. We can go in secretly without being discovered!"
No child could refuse such an offer!
Yu Youning and Huo Qingchen would definitely not refuse.
The two looked at each other and immediately followed Chu Huaixu into the carriage.
Led by Chu Huaixu, they quickly and quietly arrived at the post station and went around to the back window of Wei Xu's room.
The window was closed, and the three of them quietly lay on the windowsill, holding their breath and listening attentively.
In the house.
As soon as Wei Xu entered the room, he sat in the main seat.
Looking at Wei Zhao standing there with his head bowed, Wei Xu sneered, "What? You've only been in Dayong for a few days, and you already think you're a nobody? Why don't you kneel down!"
Seeing that Wei Zhao didn't move, Wei Xu became even angrier and threw the teacup at Wei Zhao.
The teacup hit Wei Zhao and the tea splashed all over him.
Some tea splashed onto the back of Wei Zhao's hand, instantly scalding it red.
The teacup fell to the ground at this time, making a crisp sound.
"Kneel down!" Wei Xu said again in a stern voice, "You don't want the letter your mother wrote to you anymore?"
Wei Zhao clenched his fists tightly, hesitated for a long time, and finally knelt down.
Seeing him kneeling, Wei Xu felt much more comfortable.
What he hated most was Wei Zhao standing straight in front of him.
Is Wei Zhao, a bastard, worthy of it?
He, like his mother, is a demon! He has bewitched the emperor's mind!
If it weren't for the queen mother's ability to control the mother and son early on, Wei Zhao might have become the crown prince now.
When Wei Xu thought that it was because of Wei Zhao's existence that he had not been appointed as the crown prince, he wanted to kill Wei Zhao.
When I was in Nanzhao before, the people around me watched me closely and I didn't have the chance to take action.
But now he is far away in Dayong, and it is too easy to kill Wei Zhao quietly!
However, before killing him, I can still torture him!
Wei Xu showed a perverted smile that didn't belong to his age. "Wei Zhao, I'm tired. Go get me a basin of water and wash my feet. If you serve me well, I will give you the letter your mother wrote to you."
"You probably don't know, your mother's health is getting worse and worse, her eyesight is not clear, but until I came to Dayong, I still struggled to write to you."
"If I made a mistake, I would just scrunch it up and rewrite it. I don't know how long I went back and forth, but I finally finished writing a letter. Every word was so heartbreaking! I couldn't bear to burn it!"
"But if you don't obey, I will have no choice but to burn this letter to ashes. If your mother knew that you hadn't even read it, how disappointed would she be?"
