Chapter 60: Get Close to His Majesty
"Boss, give me ten buns."
Even at night, Mrs. Li's bun shop is very popular.
Prince Duan finally got to the front of the line and immediately ordered ten buns.
Honeysuckle didn't know how to count, but couldn't sit still, so she came over to help sell buns and collect money during busy times. Hearing this, he responded loudly, picked up ten buns swiftly, put them in a brown paper bag and handed them over.
Prince Duan took it and ate one first, then passed the brown paper bag to the side: "Try it, her buns are especially delicious, I ask people to buy them every day."
Qichuan said: "Thank you, Your Highness. I am not hungry."
Prince Duan had no choice but to take the brown paper bag back and hold it in his arms, eating as he walked back: "I saw Hu Man being killed with my own eyes, and you can be considered to have avenged it, so why are you still so sad?"
Qi Chuan sighed, "Although the revenge has been taken, there is still no news of my elder sister..."
He was not there when his family needed him the most.
This resulted in the destruction of the family, the inability to see his father for the last time, and the loss of his eldest sister.
Every time I think of it, my heart aches.
Prince Duan also sighed.
Qichuan is the capital where Yuejin goes.
It was also a coincidence that he was riding in a carriage with the princess on the way to the Xiangshan Temple outside the city to taste the vegetarian food there. Unexpectedly, there was a snake seller among the pedestrians. His box was not sealed properly, and two snakes fell out of it, scaring his horse.
The horse kicked and leaped, and he was shaking violently in the carriage while holding the princess. Just as the carriage was about to be thrown into the wall of the alley, Qi Chuan jumped on the horse and subdued the frightened horse.
This is how he and the princess were saved.
Afterwards, when they learned that Qichuan had just arrived in the capital and had no place to stay, they let him into Prince Duan's mansion and served as his guard.
Later, that incident happened again, and he learned about Qichuan's life experience.
"After so many years, even Your Majesty would find it difficult to find any trace of him."
Prince Duan consoled him, "Look at the bright side. Your elder sister should be married and have children by now, and she'll have a family of her own. You also said your elder sister is very beautiful and clever, so she won't be living too badly.
As for finding someone, just let it go. You should also think about yourself. You are already thirty-six years old, and you haven't established a career or found a wife. If you find your elder sister and she sees you, she will definitely worry about you."
Qi Chuan smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not that promising either. I'll just live my life on my own. Why would I burden other girls?"
Prince Duan had already finished one bun and reached for another, saying vaguely, "Who says you're useless? With your martial arts skills, being a guard here is a waste of talent. I recommend you to His Majesty to join the Northern Pacification Division. You might be able to do something great."
Qi Chuan hurriedly said, "Absolutely not! Your Highness has already worried so much about my affairs, and it almost got you punished. How can you ask Your Highness to go to His Majesty and ask for an official position on my behalf?"
"Who said I begged for it? Didn't you see that His Majesty likes me?"
Prince Duan then went to wait in line at a beef offal shop called Manxiangju, saying rather smugly, "Of my father's twelve sons, I'm the only one who can stay by His Majesty's side. And yet His Majesty is still defending me today. It shows that even though His Majesty is fierce, he's only fierce towards others, not me. He actually loves me, otherwise he wouldn't have killed Hu Man the moment I told him what happened."
Prince Duan is dull and a sucker. He likes to get close to whoever treats him well.
He held the bun in his pocket, happily immersed in his own fantasy: "His Majesty loves me so much, but because I misunderstood him and was afraid of him, I haven't taken the initiative to talk to His Majesty all these years. His Majesty must be resentful of me, but it's difficult for him, as the emperor, to say anything. Fortunately, because of your matter this time, I can see His Majesty's thoughts. This is also the opportunity to recommend you to the Northern Pacification Office, so that I can get closer to His Majesty..."
Qichuan didn't know about Prince Duan's nature of taking advantage of others, and he had just arrived in the capital for a few days, so he didn't know the emperor's cruel nature. He stood beside him and was stunned when he listened.
The next day, Prince Duan really got up early in the morning and prepared to enter the palace.
The Princess Duan sleeping next to him was as plump as he was, with fair and smooth skin, like a peeled lychee, very cute.
After being woken up, she pulled him and wouldn't let him leave: "Where are you going?"
Prince Duan was crouching down, about to get out of bed. Noticing he had woken her, he straightened his back, turned around, and said, "Didn't I tell you last night that I'm going to see His Majesty today and get close to him?"
Princess Duan hugged the quilt and thought for a moment before saying, "Oh," "Then remember to bring me some beef offal from Manxiangju when you come back."
Prince Duan nodded and said, "I know you like it. I'll come back early to buy it for you."
Princess Duan chuckled and said, "Then kiss me before you leave."
Prince Duan pouted and gave her a big kiss on the cheek, smiling until his eyes became slits: "You go to sleep, wait for me to come back, and we will eat beef offal together."
Princess Duan closed her eyes obediently, and before Prince Duan even left the bedroom, she had already started snoring.
Murong Jin was having breakfast in Chengping Hall.
An eunuch came in hunched over and whispered something in the ear of Gao Bin, who was standing beside him.
Gao Bin was slightly startled and said to Murong Jin, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Duan is outside seeking an audience. Would you like me to ask him to go back?"
Murong Jin paused slightly holding the spoon.
He remembered that the beautiful lady yesterday said that she disliked his bad temper and no one wanted to play with him.
He snorted, "Let him in."
Gao Bin responded and went out to invite Prince Duan in.
Prince Duan followed Gao Bin in and saw the emperor sitting behind the table and eating leisurely, looking no different from a normal person.
It's not as violent as they say.
He felt even closer to Murong Jin, and came in, kneeling down happily and bowing, saying, "Your Majesty, I'm here to see you."
Gao Bin: ...
Murong Jin asked him to get up, put down the spoon, and wiped his hands with a handkerchief: "Second brother, you came here so early, I guess you didn't have breakfast, would you like to have some with me?"
Gao Bin:!!!
Prince Duan was even more moved: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I was very hungry all the way here."
Gao Bin suppressed his surprise and quickly ordered someone to bring another meal.
The meal was served soon.
Prince Duan looked at the table full of delicious food, his appetite whetted, and he quickly sat down to eat.
He also enjoyed the food.
Murong Jin felt annoyed when he saw this.
Gao Bin noticed it immediately.
According to the past, Prince Duan’s life would not be saved.
But things are different now.
As expected, the emperor just turned his face away and had no intention of killing anyone.
But his expression was already bad: "Tell me, what are you doing here?"
Prince Duan quickly swallowed the food in his mouth and said with a simple smile, "I just came to see Your Majesty and get close to Your Majesty. I know Your Majesty cares about me. I was ignorant before, but now I have come to my senses. I will come to see Your Majesty often in the future."
Murong Jin: ...
Gao Bin: ...
Prince Duan couldn't understand the other person's expression and continued, "Besides this, I would also like to ask for a position for my servant. Your Majesty, my servant has served in the army and is very skilled in martial arts. It is really unfair for him to be a guard here. I would like to send him to Your Majesty and let him work in Your Majesty's Northern Pacification Office."
Murong Jin endured it and nodded, "Yun, Gao Bin, you will make the arrangements."
Gao Bin said, "Yes."
Prince Duan was overjoyed: "I knew that Your Majesty loved me the most!"
Murong Jin couldn't bear it any longer and pinched his forehead: "Go down."
Prince Duan's smile froze, and he looked at his unfinished meal: "Your Majesty, I haven't finished eating yet."
Murong Jin had already rinsed his mouth and washed his hands with the help of the eunuch, then stood up and left.
When Prince Duan saw him about to leave, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, we two brothers have just exchanged a few words, where are you going?"
Gao Bin looked outside in silence.
Murong Jin suddenly stopped, pointed his hand at him, and a murderous aura suddenly rose in his body.
Although Prince Duan was dull, he also noticed it. His round body shrank and he trembled: "Your Majesty, did I say something wrong?"
Murong Jin stared at him gloomily. After a while, he finally put down his hand: "What are you afraid of? I just saw a scar on your neck."
Prince Duan subconsciously touched his neck and relaxed: "This is not a scar, this is, this is..."
He rarely became shy: "This was kissed by the princess."
Murong Jin: ...
Gao Bin was already looking up at the ceiling of the hall.
