Chapter 496

In the Taihe Hall of the imperial palace of the state of Yan.

Palace lanterns shine high and candles are bright.

In the spacious hall, the ministers shouted long live. Looking at it from the sight of Emperor Yan, he crawled. He looked at the courtiers and said nothing.

The leaping candlelight made several shadows on Emperor Yan's face. In recent years, Emperor Yan's dignified and prosperous life has made him look heroic and vigorous. Obviously, he has reached the age of knowing his destiny. Due to proper maintenance, he looks only about 40. His sword eyebrows, stars and eyes are dark, and his temples are in high spirits.

When he washes every day, he looks at himself in the mirror, so that he often has an illusion and often thinks that if he continues to open up and expand the territory in his hands, wouldn't he be called an emperor through the ages and a king of the Ming Dynasty in the meticulous records of history books in the future?

In addition, there are many people in the imperial court who are good at flattering others and often like them. Emperor Yan feels that he is old and strong, arbitrary in heaven and earth, and rarely listens to the words of loyalty and kindness.

Not only that, but even the words he often mentioned before to let the crown prince study government affairs well are no longer mentioned. The crown prince's supervision of the state has also become a short-term position. However, Yan luoqian is also happy to be at leisure. He draws and writes words in Yuehui hall with Bei Yu every day, and his painting skills have made great progress.

Today, Emperor Yan called the officials to discuss the matter. Instead of being present, the prince came to Beiyu's other garden again. He didn't mean to leave until the key under the Palace door.

Beiyu looked at his Royal Highness the prince, who was dedicated to drawing the picture, and was slightly puzzled. "Now his Highness's painting skills have been perfected. It can be used as a pastime, but it's not a business after all. Why bother, your highness?"

Your highness, you come here more frequently than the previous court.

Since Yan Qiqi married the Northern Kingdom six months ago, the second month, Emperor Yan nonstop personally selected a marriage for the crown prince. Now the crown princess is Jia Liusu, the direct granddaughter of Jia Yong, the great scholar of Yuehui hall.

Jia Liusu has a scholarly family. Her close relatives are all great scholars. She has excellent talent and appearance. She is a rare good match for your highness.

Emperor Yan's decision on this marriage naturally has his consideration. The Jia family is an official for three generations. It is neither the Empress Dowager's party nor has too much contact with the rising forces in the dynasty. The background is clean, such as bamboo in the mountains. It has great character.

Because of this, people are proud to climb up the Jia family, so that it is exaggerated that Jia Yong's drunken Ci Fu was even fried at a high price of 10000 liang of gold on the black market.

Emperor Yan considered it very carefully. Having the Jia family as the prince's in laws means that he has no worries about people's feelings and public opinion. In the future, with the help of Jia, he will be even more powerful.

The emperor was very satisfied with the marriage, but Yan luoqian himself was not very satisfied.

On the wedding day, he was drunk like mud. He opened the bride's head in a muddle. Even if it was a ceremony, he forgot what the bride looked like. When he woke up the next day, he couldn't recognize his crown princess.

If this matter had not been suppressed by the considerate crown princess, I don't know how much gossip would have arisen.

However, Yan luoqian didn't seem to appreciate it. He only liked Yan Qiqi. On the second day of his wedding, on the pretext of complicated affairs, he simply stayed in the side hall and hung the Crown Princess aside.

Najia tassel is also very sensible. She shows the style of a lady everywhere. She is neither angry nor angry. She still sends people to send snacks and cakes to the side hall again and again.

Later, Yan luoqian became more annoyed and simply hid in Beiyu. The sunrise came and the moon was bright and the stars were few. The crown prince was carefree. Rumors began to spread from Beiyu.

There are all kinds of things to say. Unexpectedly, some people say that your highness is a good man. Marrying a wife is just a cover, mainly to stay with Beiyu.

Beiyu said that he was suffering. In order to prove his innocence, he had to find a reason to say that now his house can't put those paintings. It's better to go to the Huitang.

This blocked the long mouth of outsiders.

Anyway, Yan luoqian doesn't care. As long as he doesn't meet Jia Liusu, he can do anything.

Beiyu looked at the prince's painting today and couldn't help it. "Your Highness, you have painted so many pictures of ladies. Can you change one?"

It's a picture of a lady. It's just that Bei Yu sees through it. His eyebrows and eyes look like joy and anger. He can think of who the crown prince painted with his toes.

It's just that Bei Yu is also very difficult. He knows things that many people don't know. If one day these paintings fall into someone's hands, I don't know if he will explode on the spot.

Therefore, it is urgent for Bei Yu to think that even if these paintings are finished, he should find a way to dispose of them and keep them, but they will cause trouble.

Yan luoqian hung the ink brush on the bracket again. For the first time, he really rolled up these paintings without any excuse. He threw them all into the charcoal basin.

The excellent rice paper was lifted by the fire and ran high. The flame gradually licked the circle along the vein of the paper, and the place it went turned into bursts of flying smoke. With Yan luoqian's shallow voice, he seemed to sigh, "well, the appearance of these paintings is less than one ten thousandth of seventy-seven in the heart of this palace, and the charm remains in the bottom of my heart. Don't mention it. It's more sad to see things and think of people."

Beiyu wanted to cry bitterly. His Highness the prince really wanted to understand. As soon as he was happy, his mouth was a little quick. "Your Highness, your majesty is discussing business in the court hall today. Why don't you go?"

Yan luoqian's expression was still light and opened carelessly, "isn't Taihe hall deliberating every day? My father can handle it. As a prince, I'm just hanging a false name. "

"No, you see, it's quarter past eight o'clock today. As usual, the Palace door has long been closed, but today the bell rang twelve and called all these courtiers back..."

The bell rings twelve times, which is the sound of state affairs. Once this clock comes out, there will be great events.

When the painting was almost finished burning, Yan luoqian raised his eyelids, "what happened?"

"It's said that something happened to the envoys who accompanied Lord Xu to the north not long ago. Princess Anhe doesn't know what happened. She became a suspect and was imprisoned by the emperor of the North..."

Before Beiyu finished his words, Yan luoqian threw away the unfinished picture scroll in his hand. Due to excessive force, the flying dust in the brazier was brought up, and many sparks that had not been extinguished splashed on Beiyu's robes and the crown prince's clothes. Beiyu hurried for fear of beating. He was careless and found that the crown prince didn't know when to leave!
