Chapter 328 Rare Visitor

When his eyes were slightly closed, a voice rang in his ear.

"Sir, last time I saw that you didn't like the taste of roasted lamb, so I went to the town to find the most famous chef to make a unique flavor. I brought it back. Would you like to try it?"

It's that princess again, so annoying.

Without even opening his eyes, he quickly called for help.

"Qingsong, get that person away."

"yes."

Qingsong hurriedly walked to Yan Youning's side, stretched out his right hand, and made a gesture of invitation.

"My little princess, I am resting and don't like to be disturbed. Please don't make things difficult for me. Please leave on your own."

Yan Youning pouted and said "oh".

"Well, this is something I bought especially for you. If you don't want to eat it, can you pay me in silver? It's quite expensive."

Qingsong smiled.

"My little princess, you have used this trick on other women."

Yan Youning let out a sound of regret.

"That's what the book teaches us."

Qingsong said again.

"My little princess, you should stay at home and read more of the Four Books and Five Classics. Those books are all made up by people to deceive people."

Yan Youning wanted to say something, but Qingsong asked her to leave with a proper smile on his face.

Wen Zhiheng's mood was almost disturbed.

"I came here hoping to find some peace and quiet, but I didn't expect that I still couldn't find any."

Qingsong smiled.

"Master, where there are people, how can there be peace? You are in the court, so you can't avoid it."

Wen Zhiheng slightly opened his eyes.

"Come back tomorrow."

"You've only been here two days?"

"Forget it, Lingyun Pavilion is at least a place to take a breather, let's get ready."

"yes."

On the way back, Wen Zhiheng said goodbye to Lan Qinghe, turned around and got on the carriage. When he opened the curtain, he saw Yan Youning huddled in the corner, looking at him with sparkling eyes.

"Sir, I just happen to be going back to Kyoto as well. Can I take your carriage with me?"

Wen Zhiheng's eyes were extremely cold. He got into the carriage, grabbed her by the collar, and threw her out of the carriage.

Yan Youning screamed in surprise and his whole body fell from the air. He was caught by Lan Qinghe and put into Mrs. Lan's arms.

"Let's go."

Watching Wen Zhiheng's carriage going farther and farther away, Yan Youning's eyes became brighter.

"Look, aunt, he picked up my clothes himself."

Mrs. Lan looked at her with disdain.

"You are a woman, and if you get on a man's carriage alone, people will look down on you."

Yan Youning didn't seem to mind at all.

"My father said that if you like someone, you must do everything you can to get him/her over. My mother was conquered by my father's love, and I think I can do the same."

Mrs. Lan looked disapproving.

"You are still young, only nineteen years old. He is older and has experienced more. He can't talk to you. Besides, he won't agree. Princess, your marriage should be decided by the Duke of Jingguo. Parents' orders and matchmaker's words are the right way."

Yan Youning said as he looked at the carriage going away.

"Aunt, I want to go back to Beijing."

Wen Zhirou was shocked when she saw Wen Zhiheng.

"You went to the northwest just to sleep there for one night?"

Wen Zhiheng shook his head.

"Why don't you go out with your miracle doctor? Why do you come to Lingyun Pavilion every day and keep harassing me?"

"Who caught you? Who goes to a place thousands of miles away and comes back after sleeping for one night? I would have thought it would take at least half a month."

Wen Zhirou looked at him puzzledly.

"Is there something going on in the northwest?"

"There's no peace anywhere. Relatively speaking, home is still a good place to stay."

Wen Zhirou said this before returning to her own yard.

"Brother, don't be angry. I promise not to bother you during this period of time."

Wen Zhiheng started reading documents in Lingyun Pavilion. He had been out for some time and had a lot of things waiting for him to deal with.

Occasionally I plant flowers, drink tea, and slowly live a leisurely life.

It’s just that the east is not a problem, but the west is.

As soon as I returned, Duke Jingguo's visiting card was delivered to my door.

I don't know how to describe the character of Jingguo Duke Yan Ming. To put it bluntly, he is a piece of meat that can be easily cut.

His face is as thick as a copper wall or an iron wall. It cannot be penetrated by a sword or cut by a knife.

Wen Zhiheng nodded and nodded to Qingsong.

"Take it."

The next day, Duke Jingguo came to the door with a smile on his face.

In the reception hall, Wen Zhiheng had already prepared the best tea, waiting for his arrival.

"Duke Jingguo, what a rare guest..."

Duke Jingguo looked left and right and said with a smile.

"Lord Wen is so busy that he still has time to see me. This is my blessing."

Wen Zhiheng smiled politely.

"Why did Lord Jingguo come here today?"

Duke Jingguo looked Wen Zhiheng up and down and expressed his satisfaction.

"It's nothing. We have been dealing with each other in the officialdom for so many years, but we have never had a proper private conversation. Maybe our relationship can be further improved."

Wen Zhiheng picked up the tea and took a sip slowly.

"Lord Jingguo, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"My daughter has taken a liking to you and says she likes you very much. Since you have never married, how about we become in-laws? What do you think?"

Wen Zhiheng laughed.

"I don't think it's a big deal. You are a few years older than me, and I am a few years older than your daughter. She wants to marry another father, and I don't want to marry a daughter."

When Duke Jingguo heard this, he burst into laughter.

"Age is not a problem for who you want to marry. My daughter likes you and she doesn't mind."

Wen Zhiheng said expressionlessly.

"It's me who minds."

After hearing this, the smile on Prince Jingguo's face dimmed a lot.

"Why bother? It's so sad. My daughter is the best. She is well-behaved, sensible, beautiful and filial. Where can I find such a good daughter in Kyoto?"

Wen Zhiheng put down the tea bowl in his hand and said.

"Duke Jingguo has nothing to do, so I will not force you to stay. Qingsong, show him out."

"Hey, don't, don't go..."

Yan Ming looked at Wen Zhiheng's leaving figure and sighed that it was such a pity.

Yan Youning was very confused when he saw his father return in failure.

"I heard from my cousin that he hasn't married for so many years. I heard that he has someone in his heart. Who is it, Dad, do you know?"

Duke Jingguo shook his head.

"I'm not sure, but a passionate person is the best person. He is responsible and capable of taking responsibility. My daughter, you have good vision. Your father will do everything he can to help you achieve this."

Yan Youning shook his head.

"Father, please don't interfere. I'm afraid it will backfire. He is the best son. If I force him, it will definitely hurt our relationship."

"Then what should we do?"

Yan Youning thought about it.

"I really want to know who is the person in his heart. Only in this way can I talk to him. Only by talking to him can I have a chance, right? He has everything except this."

As Qingsong just walked into the courtyard, he was stopped by a guard below.

"Sir, that princess is climbing the wall again."

Qingsong asked in confusion.

"Then you just ask her to leave."

The guard lowered his head and said.

"Please don't leave."

"Why?"

"My lord, you will know if you go and see it."

Qingsong ran to the place where the little princess often climbed and found her sitting on the high wall, her eyes rolling left and right, her feet wandering back and forth in the air.
