Chapter 144： Cheating (catch bugs)

Less than half a month after Shen Wen returned to the house, Zheng Qian picked one of them to come when Shen Zhuo was away.

The weather was hot, Zheng Qian wore a light brown uniform, his face was as white as jade. Yang has always liked this young man. Hearing that Shen Zhuo was not at home, he personally greeted him and asked Zheng Qian to sit in the living room. He asked someone to tell Shen Wen in private and ask her to take a look.

Shen Wen heard someone say that his mother let herself dress up and go to the living room, and guessed that Xu was Zheng Qian. She said to her heart that I was disgusting when I heard his name, would I still want to see his face, and immediately "shy" and determined not to go out, the little family was extremely angry. The Yang family had no choice but to give up. Zheng Qian sat with the Yang family for a while, and their very gentle and polite appearance strengthened the good impression on the Yang family, but they couldn't wait for Shen Wen, so they had to leave.

At night, Shen Wen went to the courtyard.

In the courtyard, only Cuckoo lived with two small servants. They were bored. When he thought of other people living exciting lives elsewhere, Cuckoo frowned, and his handsome face was full of resentment.

In the middle of the night, someone tapped on the window, and Dujuan came to the window, opened a slit, and whispered: "What's the matter?" This is what Zhang Yunzheng repeatedly emphasized: He is not allowed to be alone in the room with Miss Shen Er, he can only stay in the room and talk. Can't open the door! It's almost like an anti-wolf.

Shen Wen had seen Cuckoo, heard his voice, did not enter the house, just leaned against the window, and quietly asked Cuckoo to go back and make several sets of clothes, both inside and out, including the inner lining and matching sweat towels. , Give Shen Wen a set that is comparable to Zhang Yunjin's stature, and give a set to Dujuan, guaranteeing to be exactly the same, and then number each set, she only needs to say the number, and Dujuan should know which outfit to wear.

Although Du Juan was selected to dress up as a woman for Zhang Yunzheng in the past, he actually didn’t really dress up as a woman once. This time she was really going to wear women’s clothing. It was not for his son. Du Juan felt very uncomfortable. willing! Suppressed, Shen Wen asked in a low voice outside: "Can you swim?"

Du Juan nodded: "Yes."

Shen Wen asked again: "Can I swim in winter?"

Du Juan replied: "Yes."

Shen Wen was a little worried: "The water freezes in winter and it's very cold."

Dujuan said: "I take a cold bath all year round and I am used to it."

Shen Wen was surprised: "Why!"

Cuckoo said grimly, "For the sake of skin!" He started taking a cold shower when he entered the house, saying that only by this way could he keep his skin fair and be able to act like a woman. Whose bad idea was this?

Shen Wen laughed and said, "That's it!" After saying something else, Shen Wen ran away.

Sure enough, before the Chinese Valentine's Day, Zhang Yunjin from Pingyuan Houfu sent four sets of clothes to Shen Xiang and Shen Wen, saying that the famine years passed, and the family got new materials from Jiangnan. Share them with your girlfriends. Shen Xiang's are all red, with a stack of plain and elegant sweat towels. Shen Xiang knew that she had given this to Shen Zhuo. Shen Wen's are available in a variety of colors, with matching linings and sweat towels attached to the outerwear, all of which are very delicate workmanship. Shen Xiang let people say thank you, but Shen Wen looked like he had never seen the world before, and kept trying, making Shen Xiang secretly complaining that Zhang Yunjin was doing nothing to give clothes to him, spoiling Shen Wen.

Zhang Yunjin didn't actually understand it, but when Li received instructions from Ping Yuanhou, he naturally made them all. The variegated clothes were still in duplicate, and one was handed over to Ping Yuanhou.

In previous years, Qixi Festival was the most neglected festival in Zhenbeihou Mansion. Shen Xiang has always used knives and swords, never used needles and threads, and Shen Wen is surprisingly lazy. If there are some clever bridges in other residences, these two young ladies will definitely make a fool of themselves and let the maids take advantage of it. Top 20. Therefore, Yang didn't want to embarrass his daughters. Qixi Festival just made more snacks and put melons, lotus roots and dried fruits everywhere, and other activities were free.

This year, Su Wanniang became Shen Wen’s righteous sister. She did a good job of needlework. Shen Wen must organize a begging meeting in the courtyard for Su Wanniang. In fact, it is a group of girls who get together and wear a needle to draw a thread or something. . Su Wanniang kept resigning, but Shen Wen insisted more and more, and he had to buy some clever gadgets to decorate the yard and add to the atmosphere. Shen Xiang expressed no interest and didn't want to buy those useless things.

Yang had a sense of fear for Shen Wen to go out, and at the beginning he refused to let Shen Wen go, but Shen Wen made a pitiful image. Yang thought that Shen Wen had been in the temple on the mountain for so long, and he must be half dead. Going out like this was probably to look at the excitement, and finally agreed to let Shen Zhuo accompany him to walk a few shops on the nearest street outside the house. What happened.

Shen Wen was actually going to leave the house, and after hearing it, he agreed. She went to the courtyard that night and told Du Juan the arrangements.

Shen Zhuo caught a hole and asked Shen Wen in a puzzled manner: "Why are you trying to get out?"

Shen Wen whispered: "Someone over there is trying hard to see me. If I don't let him have a chance to perform, he might find me too difficult to approach and suspect that we are prepared."

Shen Zhuo asked: "It's Zheng Qian, you go out to see him"

Shen Wen shook his head hurriedly: "I want to leave the house just to avoid seeing him!"

Shen Zhuo heard a disgust in her tone, and asked: "Because he is the prince's person, how did you know?"

Shen Wen whispered in Shen Zhuo's ear: "I just tell you, don't tell me: In my dream, he married me, gave a letter from my father and brother to the enemy in my name, and then strangled me. ."

The corners of Shen Zhuo's mouth drooped. Back then, he and Zhang Yunming joined forces and fought back fiercely against the prince who wanted to calculate Zhang Yunming, and also to protect Zhang Yunjin's reputation from being tainted by Zhang Yunming. Now, someone who has harmed his sister has sent him to the door! Even in a dream...

Shen Wen seemed to know Shen Zhuo's thoughts, and hurriedly said in a low voice: "Don't do it, you must treat him well! We have to rely on him to give the prince peace of mind for many things behind us."

Shen Zhuo gritted his back teeth and said, "What about afterwards"

Shen Wen sneered and said, "After the incident, there is no need for us to make a move..."

Shen Zhuo looked at Shen Wen: "If you can't come forward, I can do it!" He thought Shen Wen was thinking about the illusory fate.

Shen Wen shook his head and said lightly: "Don't dirty your hands, as long as he tricks me, he will definitely die!"

Shen Zhuo looked at Shen Wen, shivering for the first time. His sister's expression remained the same, and there was no wave in her tone, but he heard a chill, so cold that he knew accurately that if Zheng Qian dared to move, it would really be a dead end.

On the day he went out, Shen Wen wore the clothes given by Zhang Yunjin. Shen Zhuo took dozens of people, accompanied Shen Wen in the car and walked out one street. Shen Wen got out of the car, wearing a veil, and Xia Qing helped him into the house. Inside the shop, there are all kinds of begging objects. Since Shen Wen is Miss Everyone, she and the maid entered a single room, and someone brought in plates of samples for her to choose.

Shen Wen entered the single room. When she finished picking things out, the secret door opened and a person came out, exactly the same as Shen Wen's clothes, but with very bright eyebrows and ten times better-looking than Shen Wen. Xia Qing had a wooden face at this time. Opened his mouth in shock. The person put on the veil, and Shen Wen whispered to Xia Qing: "You accompany him. After shopping, just say that I still want to buy something and come back here again."

This is a business under the name of Pingyuan Hou Mansion, and Du Juan has long been waiting for him in the suit Shen Wen said.

Xia Qing felt embarrassed to accompany such a "beauty", blushed a little, and could only lower her head and slightly support "Shen Wen" to go out.

In the eyes of others, "Shen Wen" was accompanied by Xia Qing again. The clothes did not change, and the veil was there. However, Shen Zhuo received Shen Wen's prior ventilation and naturally saw that the so-called "Shen Wen" movement was a bit stiff. It's a change of person.

They walked a few shops down the street. In front of them was a big shop. Shen Zhuo asked others to wait outside. He and Lao Guan guarded "Shen Wen" and Xia Qing and entered the shop. There is no single room here, the hangings in the room are all on the shelves. They had just entered the door, and a young man inside was walking outside. If they didn't come in, they would also meet outside the door. The man saluted Shen Zhuo and said, "San Young Master Shen, lucky to meet."

Shen Zhuo secretly scolded the other party for ambushing people, and said with a smile on his face: "It's official Zheng! It's a fortunate meeting. You have been to the mansion several times, and I am not there. Next time you come, I will give you a greeting first. I will definitely wait. "

Zheng Qian said humbly: "How dare you! Third Young Master Shen is a busy man. I just passed by temporarily, completely reckless."

Shen Zhuo asked: "Why are officials Zheng here?"

Zheng Qian held up a small bag in his hand, "The Qixi Festival is here, and my mother wants to give some things to the women in the poor house. I will help her buy a bag."

Shen Zhuo said with emotion: "Ling Yan really has a compassionate heart."

Zheng Qian smiled and said: "If you want to say that my mother has any shortcomings, it is that my heart is too soft, and it is most insignificant to suffer."

Hearing Zheng Qian's boasting so much, Shen Zhuo secretly disgusted, and said with a smile: "A good man is rewarded, and being soft is not a disadvantage."

Zheng Qian smiled and asked casually: "What's the matter with the third son of Shen coming out today?"

Shen Zhuo said vaguely: "I also helped the girl in the Fuzhong buy some things." He did not introduce "Shen Wen" behind him.

This is the rule of a large family, and even the elder brother cannot introduce an unmarried woman to outsiders without the presence of the parents. Zheng Qian didn't care about it, and said with a smile: "Begging every year with human coincidences, there are so many unspeakable coincidences. The home of Shen San Gongzi must be lively, and there are no sisters in the house, which is really enviable."

Shen Zhuo smiled and nodded, and Zheng Qian saluted: "I wish the third son of Shen have a beautiful Chinese Valentine's Day, "the family is happy to have a makeup mirror, and a needle under the moon to pray for nine nights."

Shen Zhuo praised: "Thank you Zheng official, Zheng official is a man of knowledge."

Zheng Qian smiled and gave his hands: "Where is Shen San Gongzi, both civil and military, but the capital is less famous, no one knows who does not know."

Shen Zhuo also saluted: "Thank you for your reward."

The two said a few more polite words before Zheng Qian left. But when he left the shop, he stopped not far away and looked back at the door of the shop.

"Shen Wen" kept his head down behind Shen Zhuo, and Xia Qing did not dare to move. After Shen Zhuo signaled, "Shen Wen" picked a few, and then whispered something to Xia Qing. Xia Qing said to Shen Zhuo: "Miss still likes the first one."

Shen Zhuo agreed: "Then we will go back. There is a single room there, which is more convenient."

When they went out, Shen Zhuo pretended not to notice Zheng Qian in the crowd not far away. It is estimated that he was carefully looking at "Shen Wen" and could only curse in his heart. Zheng Qian stared at these people as they walked away, remembering the stature and posture of "Miss Shen Er" before leaving.

Shen Zhuo and his party walked back to the first store. Xia Qing helped "Shen Wen" into the single room. Shen Wen came out from the dark room and whispered in surprise, "So fast."

Dujuan took off the veil and whispered indifferently: "Fortunately, fast, otherwise I almost vomited there!"

Xia Qing realized that this "Shen Wen" was a man! He had just been supporting him, and he was immediately at a loss.

Shen Wen said to Du Juan, "Thank you very much. It should be fine today." Du Juan said, and went into the dark by himself. Shen Wen and Xia Qing were sitting in the room, waiting for someone to bring in the tray, picking a few more, and then leaving.

Xia Qing didn't dare to say anything to Shen Wen, but found an opportunity to find Su Wanniang, and said to Su Wanniang: "Miss...meet the foreigner..."

Su Wanniang hurriedly whispered: "Don't say anything, San Gongzi knows it."

Xia Qing continued: "...that person...how does he look so good-looking?"

Su Wanniang was taken aback, laughed scornfully, and pushed Xia Qing: "Be careful to see that you can't get it out of your eyes."

Xia Qing blinked and asked, "Why doesn't the young lady want to see that...... Zheng Guanren. Actually, the third son is blocking, and the young lady is wearing a veil, so he can't see his face." After the change, something happened. Then I changed back. The lady was obviously trying to avoid seeing this person.

Su Wanniang thought about it, and whispered: "It must be the lady who doesn't like that person."

Xia Qing sighed: "I don't like it so much, I can't even stand it...but I can understand it."

Su Wanniang asked: "What can you understand?"

Xia Qing whispered: "That person was very sour, and he said a few poems or something, saying that his own mother is very good...I can't stand it anyway..."

Su Wanniang smiled and pushed Xia Qing again: "You are really picky! Oh, you know, you can't talk nonsense."

Xia Qing nodded: "How many times have you said it, look at what I said over the years"

Su Wanniang asked: "Aren't you curious?"

Xia Qing said: "I'm not curious, the eldest lady told me that the lady can do anything, don't care about anything. On the contrary, if you are out of the standard, you are going to tell her."

Su Wanniang was surprised: "Then did you tell me?"

Xia Qing shook his head: "No, you always listen to the lady, and you don't make your own opinions, so naturally you don't need to tell the lady."

Su Wanniang praised Xia Qing, "You can see it! Don't tell me!"

Xia Qing looked at Su Wanniang upset, Su Wanniang was a little embarrassed, "Did I repeat this too much"

Xia Qing answered honestly: "Yes!"

When Shen Wen and Xia Qing returned to the house, they hung up the objects all over the yard. On the night of the Chinese Valentine's Day, a small party was held for Su Wanniang. Shen Wen succeeded in becoming the last place in all Qiqiao competitions. The dull gourd Xia Qing won the first place, and Su Wanniang won the third, which is considered the upper reaches.

During the period, Xia Zi repeatedly peeked at Shen Wen, and Shen Wen showed some dreamy smiles at the right time, and occasionally touched her face for no reason, pouting or something, trying to make Xia Zi feel that she was moved by her heart.

After the party, everyone went back to the house, and Shen Wen let Su Wanniang sleep with him again. She whispered, "I want to go to the palace tonight."

Su Wanniang was unhappy: "For those on Chinese Valentine's Day, what to see when entering the palace, can't fix it, there are palace ladies hiding everywhere waiting to hear the cry of Weaver Girl, what can I do if I see you"

Shen Wen actually wanted to go out for a walk because Shen Zhuo took the time to tell her about Zheng Qian's performance after going out today. Su Wanniang was right, Shen Wen really didn't want to see Zheng Qian again, even if she was behind the veil, she didn't want to. She had loyalty to Zhang Yunzheng in her heart, and more of a hatred. Even Shen Zhuo's retelling of Zheng Qian's pretentiousness caused her heart to be blocked. Although she always said that she should have been deceived because she was ignorant and caring in her previous life, but she didn't want to be reminded of her past stupidity again and again. Besides, she had already decided to kill Zheng Qian this time, so she could not see her.

Shen Wen heard that Su Wanniang didn't want her to go, so she gave up visiting the palace at night. She didn't know it, so she missed the opportunity to witness other people's privacy.

In the palace, there was a banquet on the Qixi Festival, where all the concubines gathered together and met with jealousy and said vicious words, just looking for an opportunity to belittle her to appear smarter. Xue Guifei smiled and listened to these machine fronts, only to feel bored from the bottom of her heart. She eagerly waited for the banquet to pass soon, so that she could go to the imperial garden to worship God and beg for cleverness.

That day, under the rainbow, after she "coincidentally met" the prince, the two have met many times, but unfortunately they were just flirting. The day before yesterday, they met again in the palace. After the salute, the prince smiled and asked: "My mother is going to worship the moon and begging for coincidences on Qixi Festival." The prince has been dealing with court affairs for some time, and he has dealt with the court officials, and he has developed a pair of skills. The calm demeanor of the emperor, but so kind to her, really charming!

Concubine Xue Gui smiled and whispered: "Not in previous years, but this year..." She raised her eyes to the prince: "But I want to pray in the Royal Garden at midnight."

The prince smiled deeply and said goodbye in a ceremony: "May the empress get what she wants."

Concubine Xue Gui also stooped softly: "Thank you, Prince."...

Thinking back to this, Xue Guifei smiled aloof and nodded gracefully to an old concubine who was looking at her with hatred. She is still fighting with these people now, she has won the first place, but it's a pity that the prizes they competed for have long gone missing, leaving only an endless void. She now has to find another place to rely on for herself, maybe she can make up for her past mistakes and start over. However, this time, there is only one princess on the prince's side, and her chances of victory are even greater... Xue Gui concubine lowered her eyes.

The custom of Qixi Festival is very strange. People always have to hide under the flower shelf or among the pumpkin leaves to listen carefully. It is said that if you hear the cry of the Weaver Girl, you will witness the affection of the Cowherd and the Girl Weaver. You can be blessed, husband and wife and beautiful, stay together for life.

At midnight, Concubine Xue set up an incense table in a lush corner of the Imperial Garden, spread the futon, and then knelt down and burned incense to the sky. She begged silently, hoping that the prince would come tonight, and when the two met together, they settled the relationship...

Concubine Xue Gui was very pious, and she believed her prayers worked, because after she had stood for a long time, she finally decided to go back to the palace and asked people to clean up the incense case. There were footsteps not far away, and several eunuchs came over. The four court ladies and a Qiang Qiang led by Concubine Xue were reliable. As soon as they communicated with the eunuchs of several princes in a low voice, one of them walked towards Concubine Xue. Concubine Xue Gui was trembling with excitement: That is the prince, the prince, and the future emperor! She even dressed her in the clothes of an eunuch! This is absolutely affectionate!

The prince walked to Xue Guifei's side, hugged her expertly, and pulled Xue Guifei into her arms. The two left the incense case and walked into the flowers beside them, hiding in the shadow of a two-person crabapple tree. Both of them are adults. The prince once had a hundred harems and concubine Xue Guihuan for a few years. At this time, they all understood that body language is more powerful than empty words. The two people hoped to establish a substantial alliance in the shortest time. Naturally, there was no resistance. They immediately entangled in their tongues, and then did not even take off their clothes. They used actions to interpret the rapid development of the relationship in a hurry...

This is an absolute taboo: the palace, the emperor's concubine, his own daughter, Yehe...All morals and ethics have been abandoned, and every moment is dangerous, but the prince is extremely excited! He hasn't had this vitality for a long time, and darkness is like fuel, fueling his pride: that's it! Beauty...throne...he only needs the last step...

After panting, the prince kissed Concubine Xue's mouth and said: "Manny..."

Concubine Xue Gui was so excited that she said with tears in her eyes: "The small character Yurui of the slave family..." At this time, she was also called an empress.

The prince said in Xue Guifei's ear: "Yu Rui, fragrant mist and wet clouds, Qinghui jade arms and cold, it's you, it's so beautiful..."

Concubine Xue Gui was fiery physically and mentally, and said softly: "His Royal Highness...The slave family is ashamed..."

Concubine Xue Gui was disturbed by An Liyu Niaopawei Kongbaifang. She was excited and exhausted. After taking a bath, she lay on the bed, aftertaste carefully. Having been in the palace for so many years, she has never felt like tonight. The prince's emotions are so passionate, and the result is so shocking! The **** could be so wonderful, she realized how many days and nights she had been deserted, withered under this silent palace! No wonder that even the **** and the court lady have to make a pair. Life without a partner is really difficult, and life without such fun is really pale...

Concubine Xue Gui shed tears: After seeing the beautiful scenery, she knew how primitive the environment she was in! She got it right. She couldn't live her life in loneliness. Fortunately, it was not too late. She was only in her twenties. The prince is so charming, she must climb the prince and pursue her own happiness.

Two days later, the **** came and said that the emperor would come to have dinner. Concubine Xue Gui trembled: Did the emperor hear some rumors that she asked to prepare ginseng soup? She soaked in the fragrant soup for half an hour, chose a dress that was not luxurious but meticulously crafted, and picked up the emperor’s favorite The scented clothes and the makeup is especially meticulous. When she heard the report in front of the palace gate, Concubine Xue Gui walked out curly and saluted the emperor with a smile.

The emperor is in a good mood recently! The autumn grain is about to be harvested. There is no wind, no rain, and no disaster. It is a good year for a bumper harvest! The disaster year is finally over! Now there is nothing to worry him. The prince handles daily affairs, and the huge bureaucracy is operating as usual. He only needs to control the Imperial Forest Army and ensure that a few of his confidants are always watching upwards to help him live comfortably. He is nearly half a hundred years old. He used to be ignorant when he was young, and was empty of his body. Now he has headaches and dizziness. He occasionally reads some words. In the past, he had to read his handwriting, but now he can’t read the handwriting clearly, so he had to find a little eunuch. Nian Nian.

At this point in life, if you don’t know how to maintain it, isn’t it just looking for death? The emperor feels that he is really wise, change his course in time, do guidance, go to bed and get up early, eat lightly, and take pills regularly. Now he feels much lighter and more energetic than before. Up. If this continues, rejuvenation is also possible, and you can enjoy the good days of being the emperor for a long time.

He heard that Concubine Xue Gui had gone to the Imperial Garden to worship the moon, and thinking that the worship of the moon was usually a request, he felt that he should come and see how much it would be to appease this most beloved concubine. Seeing Concubine Xue with some beautiful and reserved smiles, the emperor smiled and helped Concubine Xue's arm: "Ai Concubine, please, I won't come for a long time, but I missed me."

Concubine Xue Gui's thoughts turned sharply, and she made a happy expression: "The emperor-on-the concubine misses the emperor day and night, and during the Chinese Valentine's Day, she went to the Imperial Garden to worship Yue Lao and begs the emperor..." She pretended to be shy. Bowed his head.

The emperor laughed and said, "It seems that I should come that day."

Concubine Xue Gui replied: "Of course I should come. Who knows that July 7th..." She stopped talking. On July 7th, when no one whispered in the longevity hall, she wished to be a lovebird in the sky and a company in the earth. Lizhi, the world will last for a long time, and this hate will last forever... This is not a lucky word. Although there is a willingness to stay together, it is a hatred that will never end.

The emperor also knew what words she thought of, and turned a topic: "What's the joy of Concubine Ai lately?"

Concubine Xue Gui smiled and said: "The concubine suddenly likes to taste tea, and most like the tea from southern Fujian. The more it is brewed, the more fragrant it is. I want to recommend it to the emperor to enjoy it."

The emperor smiled and said, "Okay, I'll try it. I like lightness now and don't want to eat those big fish and meat."

Concubine Xue Gui said hurriedly: "The concubine knows that there is lotus root soup with ginseng ribs and the emperor will definitely like it." She listened to her mother's teaching that ginseng should not be drunk with tea, especially the heavy-tasting tea, but this Such things, know that there are not many people, many people still make ginseng tea, it can be seen that there is not much harm, but if there is a little harm, it can be considered a little. She suddenly couldn't stand the emperor. The emperor had bad breath of old age, and she had to hold her breath when he spoke. The emperor’s hand, how soft like a cotton ball, touched her arm, it made her feel like she was going to get goose bumps... In the past, she tried her best to please the emperor, but now she can’t wait for him to die soon, as she had known it. , Why bother back then... Xue Guifei was secretly melancholy.

Naturally, the emperor didn't notice Concubine Xue's dislike. He felt that Concubine Xue was as sensible as before, and he didn't bother when he left. The next day was the day he went to court. In the court hall, the emperor heard a lot of good news:

"A bumper harvest of rice in the ten counties of Youlin in the south of the Yangtze River..."

"The prefectures and counties near Gaohu Lake, the autumn grain is overjoyed..."

The emperor nodded and said, "Thank God for looking down at me."

The ministers all played: "This is the emperor's virtue and consummation, and he will be blessed by heaven..."

"The emperor is the ancient and modern king..."

In the voice of praise, the three princes said: "Father, now that the harvest is ready, it is time to expand the military supply and transport grain and grass for the North Marquis of Border Town. The court has not spent military expenditures in these years, and the border is bound to be in short supply. A bumper harvest, but Beirong doesn’t do farming, and there may not be enough food, so it will surely invade the army..."

He is here again! The prince hurriedly said: "Father, only with the wise guidance of the emperor, we can maintain stability. Now that the disaster year has just passed, many refugees are still homeless and need relief. If we rashly spend military resources, we fear that there will be a shortage of food in various places. Yisheng People's Uprising..." He now knows that the emperor dislikes the people's upheaval the most. After saying this, the emperor will feel right.

Sure enough, the emperor nodded and said: "The disaster year has passed, and people's livelihood is unstable. At this time, it is indeed not time to increase military expenditures suddenly. It is better to wait a few years for the national treasury to have some savings, and it will not be too late to use it for the military."

The third prince was anxious: "Father, if Bei Rong will raise something in the near future..."

The prince said: "The three emperors are worrying too much. Bei Rong and I have entered into an alliance long ago, my sister and Fan Bei Rong..." At this point, he choked up and said, "I still die of illness. I'm over there. Bei Rong must be kind to me and be willing to live in harmony with me."

The three princes frowned and said, "Why did Zhenbeihou write a letter saying that Bei Rong has been in the frontier to station troops? Does this mean harmony?"

The prince hated in his heart: Disharmony is best! Killed all the soldiers in Zhenbeihou, and see if you dare to fight against this palace like this! On the surface, he said in a very serious manner: "The three emperors just said that Bei Rong doesn't work hard. Maybe they gather at the border to trade with us. Maybe the land on the border is fertile and the pasture is abundant. Maybe Zhenbeihou is exaggerating. , I want the court to help him more. Last time he said that the Northern Rong army was suppressing the territory, but in the end it was not inevitable..."

The third prince was anxious again: "Zhenbeihou is not an exaggerated person, you are so suspicious, if the military plane is delayed..."

The prince interrupted: "Where is the military plane and where is the military situation, the three emperor brothers should not listen to and believe in favor of oneself."

The three princes who blushed without waiting for the anger replied, and a minister said: "His Royal Highness is reasonable. Although the border situation is not urgent, but the risk is huge. If there is a mistake, it will be a disaster for the whole country. It is so sinister. Consequences, I have to guard against..."

The prince’s courtier said: "For so many years, there has been no major war situation at the border. Zhenbeihou has not been there overnight. Shen Jiajun is famous and Beirong must not dare to invade."

Another person said: "I China stands tall, how can the barbarians dare to offend Beirong sooner or later, my trip to China will smash Bei Rong, let Bei Rong bow down!" Everyone greeted.

The third prince paled with anger: "Who wouldn't say such big talk!" He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he has been fighting every day. He still can't guarantee that he can defeat the soldiers of the North Army on the battlefield. The crooked literati and guest, if you don’t give the border rations, it’s fortunate that Beirong won’t let the family be pacified...

The prince proudly said to the three princes: "Three princes, you must not be aspiring to others and destroy your own power! You always say that Zhenbeihou is mighty and Shen Jiajun is strong, how can you not believe in their strength"

The third prince said angrily: "You have to have food for cooking! The imperial court has not sent military supplies for years, leaving Zhenbeihou to fend for itself. Now that the harvest is good, if you don't give it yet, will you be happy if Bei Rong wins!..."

The emperor shouted and said: "Above the court, how can we continue to quarrel like this!"

The third prince wanted to speak, and the emperor became stern: "Go down!" The third prince turned and left the hall. He was so angry that he clenched his fist and went all the way out of the palace back to the mansion. He went to the martial arts field behind him. He took off his palace robe and only used a single shirt to slash the wooden pile with a knife.

Young Master Ye looked at him like this, and didn't say a word, waiting for him outside the martial arts field. The third prince vented his anger, and while wiping his sweat, he explained what happened in the court.

Master Ye knows that his Royal Highness is angry, he must be talking nonsense, and it does not help. He can only relieved and said: "His Royal Highness does not have to be so angry. The imperial court doing nothing now does not mean that it will not be able to move in the future. Sooner or later, I will go to heaven to listen." He took out two pamphlets from his sleeves, pointed to one of them, and said, "Look, this is the text of a signed passerby, urging the whole people to be vigilant about the situation in the north, strengthen military construction, and resist Qiang Yi. He also wrote a lot of articles, his thoughts are in the sentiment and reasoning, his words and sentences are a great literary master, and people are rushing to read it and win the hearts of the people. This shows how deeply the theory of strong soldiers has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."

The third prince sighed: "Where is the actual money, food, and grass if there is momentum?"

Mr. Ye said: "Don't underestimate the people's momentum." He pointed to another book: "Look, this article appeals to all businesses to invest in buying clothes and sending them to border soldiers to keep out the cold. This is the actual military needs."

The third prince said depressed: "The people have this heart for protecting the border, but why doesn't the father strengthen the border defense?"

Mr. Ye taught the three princes and said: "Xu is the emperor who fears that Beihou is too powerful, and his power is too powerful. He is a threat to the throne." He glanced at the three princes meaningfully: in the future, he will be so scrupulous when he becomes an emperor. Right.

The third prince said with a grin: "What threaten Zhenbeihou to be a general, Lord Hou, who wants to be an emperor, sitting in a palace is like going to jail!"

Ye Da Young Master helplessly persuaded: "How many times have I said to you, I can't say such things!"

The third prince waved his hand: "You are not an outsider, and there is nothing to say to you... I'll take a shower." He left.

Young Master Ye was moved and worried. What was moved was that the third prince treated him so sincerely, and what worried about this kind of temperament was that he was not good at conspiracy and tricks, how could he win?

Although the emperor reprimanded the three princes on the court, he said to the prince after the court: "You should pay more attention to things related to the north, and tell me immediately if there is a change. If you need it, you can also mobilize the military to help Zhenbeihou." Did not agree with the suggestions of the Three Princes. On the one hand, because the court was still stretched just after coming out of the disaster year, on the other hand, the three princes could not be successfully used as gunmen for Zhenbeihou, but in fact, he also had a faint attitude towards the north Anxiety cannot be ignored.

The prince's heart tightened, but he nodded and said yes.

The emperor said with emotion: "Now that the famine years have passed, the affairs of the country should be easy. You just have to remember that everything is stable, as long as there is peace and no one commits any disturbances. This is also what the emperor taught me."

The prince said hurriedly: "Thanks to the emperor for guidance."

The emperor's meaning is to some extent implying that the prince will be his throne sooner or later, and when he compares it, he feels that the prince is still more suitable to be an emperor. But he would not tell him so clearly. In his lifetime, if he wants to enjoy peace, he has to balance the prince and the three princes with each other. Don’t think that he will be able to ascend the throne, so he no longer takes the emperor seriously. Child. He needs to always have the right to choose, so that two people respect themselves.

It is a pity that the prince did not understand the meaning of the emperor’s words. The emperor inadvertently put these words after the sentence to "help Zhenbeihou". As a result, the prince heard that the emperor might help Zhenbeihou and he became anxious all over - Beihou. As soon as Rong is launched, the animal resources will be transferred here to support. Then the town of Beihou will not collapse. You have to think of a way and completely cut off the connection from the border to this place. Those post stations must be removed as soon as possible... If you didn't listen carefully to the following words, naturally you would not be able to appreciate the profound meaning of the father.

Love is a thing, once it gets touched, it becomes tangled and crazily thinking. Since entering Hong Kong with the prince, Concubine Xue has been looking forward to having a life collision with the prince again. In fact, the prince also yearned for the same, wishing to deepen his feelings with Xue Guifei as soon as possible, and reach the point of being a husband and wife.

If Concubine Xue Gui went out of the palace casually at night, or the prince went to her, it would definitely not work. Fortunately, Concubine Xue Gui got enlightenment from the prince's behavior in wearing the eunuch's clothes, and she dressed herself as a court lady! In the palace, the most indispensable thing is the **** and the maid rushing back and forth. The two met several times in the corner or abandoned palace outside Xue Guifei's palace while the weather was not too cold.

Naturally, Concubine Xue Gui always took those who care about herself, but there were more than two hundred eunuchs in the Prince's East Palace. Those who usually followed the prince were not selected by the prince himself, but were arranged by the old **** in charge of internal affairs. One to two, one night, the old **** pointed a new **** to follow the prince.

Naturally, other people wouldn't talk too much, thinking that the old **** was training a new lineage for the prince. Only the old **** knew that the new **** was placed in by the Lu family.

In the shadow of the wall, the prince pressed Concubine Xue to the palace wall and once again reached the wonderland of life. Both were sweating and panting, immersed in the aftermath. The prince waited for a while, hugged Concubine Xue with one hand, took out a purse from her pocket with the other hand, stuffed it into Concubine Xue's hand, and whispered in Xue Guifei's ear: "...cooked with white fungus or bird's nest. ..."

Concubine Xue Gui's heart jumped, clasped her purse, nodded, and asked quietly: "... it can be verified..."

The prince shook his head: "No..." Then passionately kissed Concubine Xue's face: "Yu Rui! You are so beautiful, this palace likes you so much... One day, this palace will make you a queen..."

Concubine Xue Gui was not humble this time, and she kissed the prince back: "His Royal Highness, Yu Rui is willing to go through fire and water for His Highness..."

The little **** who was not far away didn't hear the whispers in front of him, but he heard "becoming a queen" and "going through water and fire".

When Concubine Xue returned to the bedroom, she opened her purse under the light, which contained a paper bag. Unfolded again, it is a white powder. Although the prince said it could not be detected, Xue Guifei took a handful of it and melted it with water on the silver spoon. The silver spoon did not change color at all, and it really couldn't be detected.

She rewrapped the paper bag, found a jade box, put the small purse into it, and put a small lock on it. Prepare to use it when the emperor comes, but unfortunately the emperor hasn't come for a long time, and then on August 15th, the harvest is reported everywhere, and the emperor let the palace hold a banquet to celebrate the moon. Concubine Xue Gui was too busy preparing to meet the prince. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the palace was very lively. Xue Gui concubine only saw the prince from a distance. The prince looked a little gloomy when she looked at her. Xue Gui concubine's heart was tense, and she felt that she had disappointed the prince and was busy with the emperor. Let the emperor go to himself as soon as possible.

The princess sitting on the edge of the table was still haggard. When Xue Guifei looked at her with a smile, a sneer appeared on the princess's thin cheeks: Do you want to be the queen of the day? It can make you...
