"Your Highness."
In the study room of Minghua Palace, Xiao Lizi knelt to the ground, repeated the news that he had probed back, and said, "Early today, the golden university scholar made a fold, and asked the emperor to set up His Royal Highness the fifth prince as the prince. He was still young, and he would observe for another year before making a decision. But, after the dynasty, the ministers all said that His Royal Highness the Five Princes was established as the prince is just around the corner."
Han Lingfu was ashamed, and he sat down with weakness.
He knows his father emperor too much. Over the years, the father emperor will avoid talking about the establishment of the crown prince until last year...
Since the courtier invited the five emperor brothers last year, the father emperor's concern for the five emperor brothers has obviously increased, and Han Lingfu has been frightened for a long time for this, fearing that the father emperor made up his mind.
The establishment of the crown prince is related to the events of the court.Although the father and emperor did not immediately name the fifth prince as the prince, he did not hesitate to show the direction of the holy heart.He has regarded the five princes as future successors. Unless the five emperor brothers behave really unruly this year, he will surely be the future prince.
This is not only for him, the courtiers must also be able to think of it.
Han Lingfu walked anxiously in the study.
Bai Muxiao once told him that it is not a good thing to be established as a prince now. His father's spring and autumn are flourishing, and his prince's great momentum will only cause his father's fear and eventually lose his sacred heart.
He admits that Bai Muxiao said something, but let him watch the five emperors step by step sitting up, which can't be done!
The crown prince is a well-deserved crown prince. In case of any accident of the father, the crown prince is the undisputed new emperor. Could he still force the palace to seize the position?
Han Lingfu became more anxious the more he wanted, but now his uncle's family was demoted. He showed his favor to the Pingyang Hou Qu family, but he was still treated with cold eyes, so much that he doesn't even have a person to discuss with now...
Thinking of this, Han Lingfu's gaze suddenly stopped on the jade sandalwood bamboo pen on the book case. This wolf was given to him by the third princess Cui Yanyan, and she left it.
Cui family, yes, he still has the in-laws of Cui family as a help.
Since the incident with the new crossbow, Cui Wei has been unreliable and has dissatisfied Han Lingfu.
Han Lingfu flashed a decisive decision in his eyes, and said to Xiao Lizi: "Xiao Lizi, go to Cui House!"
Seeing that Han Lingfu had made a decision, Xiao Lizi felt relieved a little and retreated with the fastest speed.
As soon as he left the study door, the little eunuch who was guarding outside told him that the three princesses had been there. Xiao Lizi nodded and said that he knew that, he immediately ordered to go to the carriage, and he went back and reported Han Lingfu.
Han Lingfu frowned slightly when he heard the speech, and his heart was ridiculed: if his Xiaoer would come in to comfort him and discuss the countermeasures with him, instead of just avoiding "sensible" just because he was found to be in a bad mood.
Such three princesses, he neglected her for granted.
Not long afterwards, someone came to report that the carriage was ready, so, one hour later, Han Lingfu arrived at Cui House.
Cui Wei ushered him into the outside study. After the next man had hot tea, Cui Wei swayed them back, leaving the guard outside the study, leaving only the two of them and Xiao Lizi.
"His Royal Highness came this time, but for the early morning?" Cui Wei asked tentatively.
Han Lingfu nodded slightly, and the Cui family was destined to be tied with his Han Lingfu, so he also bluntly said: "Now the five emperors and empresses are gradually rising, this palace can not sit idly by!"
Cui Wei said respectfully: "Your Highness said very much."
If in the past, the five princes were sons-in-law, there is nothing wrong with Cui Wei's establishment as a prince, but now, since his daughter has become the concubine of the three princes, he naturally hopes that Han Lingfu will be able to win the treasure and let Cui Family can also ascend to heaven at one fell swoop.
The incident of the early dynasty today also made Cui Wei very uneasy. If Han Lingfu didn't come to him, I'm afraid he would take the initiative to find Han Lingfu to explore the tone later.Now it seems that Han Lingfu really has a vow to this position, so it is easy to handle!
Han Lingfu took a sip of tea, symbolically, and said bluntly: "I don't know what my father-in-law recommends?"
Cui Wei uttered an idea he had in mind, and said meaningfully: "How does His Highness feel about Jian'an Bo?"
Han Lingfu raised his eyebrows, "Jian Anbo?"
Jian'an Bo House has been trusted since the first emperor. Even the first emperor handed over the Kunshan Jianrui Camp to the old Jian'an Bo. Now it is inherited by the current Jianbobo.Kunshan Jianrui Battalion is stationed in Kunshan, twenty miles southwest of Wangduwai. It is one of the important troops of the garrison king. It has twelve battalions, each of which has about 500 people, a total of more than 6,000 people, although The strength is not too large, but one of them is better than it is from the king.Both, this Jianrui battalion is not an ordinary force, but a Ladder force formed in the period of the first emperor. The flesh was thin and he went to the city and made a lot of war for the siege.
If they can control the Kunshan Jianrui Camp, they will probably play a vital role in the future.
Han Lingfu naturally thought of wooing Jian Anbo, but...
He frowned slightly, and Jian Anbo was more rigid. In the past, he tried a few times when he was in power, but the other party did not accept the move, apparently did not want to stand in the team.
Cui Wei continued: "Before the accident of the Jian'an Uncle, it was an undisputed life, but now..." said, Cui Wei snorted coldly, disdainful, "The current Jian'an Uncle Pei Yuanchen is just a waste. How can he succeed to the title. If His Royal Highness can help the second house of Jian'anbo House to take the place of that son, they will naturally..."
The two-room coveted title of Jian'an Bo Mansion jumped up and down for this reason. It can be said that Sima Zhao's heart is well known to passers-by, and how did Han Lingfu not know.Originally he wanted to win Jian Anbo, naturally alienating the second room, but now it sounds reasonable to hear Cui Wei say this.Rather than relying on Jianan Uncle, who knows nothing about it, give Erfang a grace.The second room is affordable, and naturally it is his person!
Han Lingfu felt that this matter was more and more feasible, and he could not help but whispered a faint smile, and said: "Father said what his father-in-law said. ....... This matter will bother my father-in-law."
"Please rest assured." Cui Wei agreed readily, before waiting for Han Lingfu to be satisfied with his understanding, he listened to his words and said, "...His Royal Highness, Yan'er is now in the palace. When she was at home, she loved the preserves made by her mother the most, and troubled Her Royal Highness to hand it over to Yan'er."
Cui Yanyan? A stiffness flashed in Han Lingfu's eyes, and there was a trace of dissatisfaction in his heart: Cui Wei was really intimate, saying that the palace seemed to be like Longtan Tiger Cave, was it missing Cui Yanyan to eat, or was she short of her clothes, even the preserves must be sent by them Enter the palace!
No matter what he thought in his heart, there was a gentle smile on the face, saying: "The son-in-law thanked his father-in-law and mother-in-law for Yan'er."
It was the first time that Han Lingfu claimed to be a son-in-law before Cui Wei, which naturally meant to be close.
Cui Wei smiled with satisfaction, and said: "His Royal Highness, Yan'er grew up with Xiao Jiao. If anything offends on weekdays, please ask His Highness not to blame her."
Han Lingfu was unhappy, but he also knew that he still needed the help of the Cui family to be patient and said: "My father-in-law's words are heavy. Yan'er is gentle and virtuous, and having a wife is such a blessing for a son-in-law."
For a time, both Weng and his sons laughed, looking at their intimacy. As for what they were thinking in the bottom of their hearts, only they knew what they knew.
After discussing with Cui Wei for a while, Han Lingfu's carriage drove out of Cui's house.
In the carriage, Han Lingfu had no smile on his face for a long time, and looked at the jar of sour plums beside him.
Cui Wei just said what candied fruit, he thought it was candied preserved fruit or petals such as begonias and roses, but he didn't want to be sour plums.
This girl is naturally sweet, but what kind of sour plums does Cui Yanyan like to eat?
The fact that they haven't completed their house has made Cui Yanyan publicly known the last time, making him a laughing stock.She originally thought that she would have converged in a few days, but she did not expect Cui Yanyan to know what to do, but she wanted to rely on her natal family to let him go.Cui Wei also knows that he needs to rely on the Cui family now, so he wants to use this to hint that he should let Cui Yanyan give birth to his grandson as soon as possible?
Han Lingfu narrowed his eyes slightly, the dissatisfaction in his heart was more intense, and Cui House was too greedy!
Seeing that Han Lingfu had a bad complexion, Xiao Lizi asked carefully, "Your Highness, will you return to the palace?"
Han Lingfu lifted the curtains, glanced at the gray sky outside the car, and said lightly: "Go back to the palace."
The driver answered, and the whip waved high, and the carriage drove towards the palace all the way.
After entering the palace, Han Lingfu went straight back to Minghua Palace. He had wanted to go directly to his house. After hesitating, he went to Cui Yanyan after all.
Han Lingfu had not yet arrived at the door, Cui Yanyan had already received the report from the inner servant, saying that Her Royal Highness the Three Princes came to her residence.She was both happy and shy, and she couldn't help thinking: Now it's getting late, His Royal Highness came to her at this time Is it that he finally figured it out?
Cui Yanyan's heart fluttered in spring, hurriedly packed herself up and came out to meet.
"The concubine has seen your highness." Cui Yanyan gracefully salutes Han Lingfu, deliberately deflecting his more perfect right face to Han Lingfu.
It's a pity that her actions are nothing more than nothing. Han Lingfu didn't even look at her at all, and she said lightly: "Don't be courteous. Come in and talk."
Cui Yanyan didn't expect Han Lingfu's attitude to be so cold, but he quickly told himself that as long as he was willing to come to her, as long as he was willing to accept her, she wouldn't believe that he could warm his heart!
Thinking of this, Cui Yanyan smiled charmingly and warmly said: "Your Highness, please." She lowered her eyebrows and asked Han Lingfu to enter the inner room.
After Han Lingfu was seated, Cui Yanyan poured a cup of tea for him personally, "His Royal Highness, drink a cup of tea first and moisturize my throat." He then asked again, "Have your Royal Highness ever used meals? Do you want to be prepared by concubines?"
Cui Yanyan recognized herself as virtuous and good-natured, and did nothing wrong, but any of her actions seemed to be haunting in Han Lingfu's eyes. Any words she heard were noisy in his ears, and he said impatiently: "This palace eats pass."
What did he think of, looked at Xiao Lizi, "Little Lizi..."
He gestured with a glance, and Xiao Lizi understood. He hurriedly handed the jar of sour plums to the dowry maid beside Cui Yanyan.
"Is this a gift from your highness to the concubine?" Cui Yanyan said with a surprised face. "Thank you, your concubine, I like it very much." She eagerly smiled from the jar of sour plums in her hands.
"This is brought to you by Madam Cui to the main palace." Han Lingfu did not give her the opportunity to dream, and spoke out the truth coldly.
Cui Yanyan's face stiffened for a moment, but she quickly smiled casually again, "That concubine still has to thank His Royal Highness for bringing the concubine into the palace."
Cui Yanyan put the sour plums aside and said to Han Lingfu, "His Royal Highness, today the concubine went to accompany her mother and talked about the conversation."
"Oh." Han Lingfu casually blew the tea foam.
Cui Yanyan twisted her pals and said shamefully: "Mother-in-law, she hopes that we will have good news soon..." She said that her head was lowered even lower, without seeing the irony in Han Lingfu's eyes.
Han Lingfu looked at the jar of sour plums again with a smile. This Cui Yanyan's flower head was really too much. After a while, he used the power of Cui Fu to intimidate him, and then he used his mother to press him, thinking that he would bow his head?
Seeing that Han Lingfu didn't respond late, Cui Yanyan was a little anxious, thinking that she had kept the vacancies alone since her wedding...can't go on like this anymore!
Cui Yanyan bit her lip, and it is rare that Han Lingfu came to her. She could not miss the opportunity in vain. Today, she has to leave Han Lingfu to spend the night to fight for a son as soon as possible.
Cui Yanyan did not care about shyness, lifted her face, and tried to face Han Lingfu tenderly like water: "His Royal Highness, it's getting late, it's time to sleep." Her eyes were like spring water, her soft cherry red lips slightly opened, and she shyly Looking at Han Lingfu.
But he didn't want to, Han Lingfu stood up coldly and said, "Then you have a rest early." Then she turned and walked outside.
Cui Yanyan was completely ignorant, and Han Lingfu had to leave. How could this be done!
She didn't want to think about it. She quickly stepped forward and grabbed Han Lingfu's sleeves and blurted out: "His Royal Highness, you will not stay..." Overnight?
Han Lingfu looked at the slender jade hand holding his cuffs, and there was a look of disgust in his eyes. The already cold look became more condensed. Jun's face seemed to have formed a layer of frost, and he said: "This palace is going to If you want to stay, will you still need your consent?"
He squeezed Cui Yanyan's wrist coldly, and the bitter pain made her whisper, shrinking her hand reflexively, her face white and trembling: "His Royal Highness forgiving sin, concubine doesn't mean that."
"No matter what you mean at this palace, this palace hopes you remember it!" Han Lingfu interrupted her coldly and looked at her with warning, "You are already the third prince, it is time to be content, good. Keep the duty of your three princesses, don't go to Xiao Xiao what should not be..."
What did he mean by this? Cui Yanyan's pupils shrunk, and he looked at Han Lingfu in disbelief, his mouth opened and closed, but he didn't make a sound as if he had taken a dumb medicine.
Han Lingfu was too lazy to look at Cui Yanyan again, and flung his sleeve out of the house coldly.
The dowry maid on the side froze and shrank her head, not daring to make a sound.
Cui Yanyan was in a stalemate, and his mind was blank. It took him a long time to recover.
How did she never expect that Han Lingfu would say such a thing to her, what did he mean by this, was she to make her three princess princesses a decoration for outsiders to see?
Cui Yanyan shivered slightly with rage, and his entire face looked like a ghost, biting his lower lip fiercely and muttering to himself: "Why? Why..." He had to treat himself like this!
The answer immediately appeared in Cui Yanyan's heart--
Bai Muxiao!
Han Lingfu will treat himself like this, there is no doubt that it is for Bai Muxiao's slut!
Cui Yanyan couldn't help thinking of Han Lingfu's personal visit to Guozijian to pick up Bai Muxiao, and he couldn't restrain the monstrous hatred in his heart.
Originally, she saw that Han Lingfu was in a bad mood today, so she wanted to take a step back. Don't make this unpleasant anymore.
But the matter is here, even if she wants to retreat, there is no way back at all!
This Bai Muxiao, before she had passed the door, had already confused Han Lingfu, not only let her three princess concubines become the laughing stock between the noble ladies of the king, but also let Han Lingfu be cold to her... if this is the case When she really crossed the door, she said that she would not be trampled into the mud sooner or later.
Cui Yanyan is angry, jealous, and hateful. If Han Lingfu just likes the color of Bai Muxiao, she wouldn't mind it at all. The men are the same anyway, just like the father doesn't have one aunt after another.Even if this kind of cheap maid is favored for a while, it is just a man who is greedy for freshness and beauty. As long as she is firmly seated as a wife, concubines always have concubine's rules.
But now...
Cui Yanyan's eyes were as gloomy as the storm was coming. She originally wanted to wait for Bai Muxiao to enter the door and slowly torture.Now, she is very sure of everything, that is, Bai Muxiao must not be allowed to enter the door!
Cui Yanyan couldn't watch the jumping candlelight, her face sinking like water.
Time passed in a hurry, the tail of May flashed in the warm wind of early summer, and June came in an instant.
Nangong Yue's 14-year-old birthday finally arrived.
Although Xiao Yi has officially led the errand, for him, what is the errand, where is Nangong Yue's birthday important, so he will openly and honestly push the matter to the deputy commander, and happily lead Nangong Yue He went out and went to Ritangshan.
He deliberately took her out to play, and Nangong Yue was naturally happy to arrange everything.
It was not the first time for Xiao Yi to visit this hot spring village under the Ritang Mountain, nor did they need to lead the way. Xiao Yi took Nangong Yue to one of the hot springs in Zhuangzi.
There are several spring eyes in this village, braving the hot spring all year round.
Xiao Yi chose the largest spring eye specifically, and ordered someone to build a house as a bathroom early. Among them, a pond that was three to four square meters was dug and the hot spring water was led into the pool. It's finished.
I saw a cloud of hot air on the surface of the milky white hot spring, which was like a cloud of mist, making the whole bathroom foggy and the view was not very clear.
Nangong Yue's gaze was set on several pear wood trays placed beside the pool, on which were placed several sets of white blouses, as well as fresh fruit and fruit wine.
Nangong Yue suddenly realized that her eyebrows were bent: "It turns out that you specially took me to the hot spring today."
Xiao Yi nodded with a smile: "It's such a good hot spring Zhuangzi, isn't it good to make bubbles, isn't it a violent disgrace?" He said that he started to take off his robe.
Nangong Yue's eyes twitched, and his tone slightly stiffly asked: "You... wouldn't you want to join me?"
Xiao Yi's movement paused for a while, and her beautiful face was half drooping, and she pulled her neckline "shyly" and said, "Even if you are coveting the jade body of this world child, this world's middle clothes will never take off. Yes! This Shizi will surely be like a jade for the concubine!" He said, and also threw a wink.
Nangong Yue covered his face with black lines and translated his "ghost words" into adult language, meaning that he would wear a hot spring with her in a tunic.
And Lily on the side was already shaking her shoulders with a smirk covering her mouth.
Nangong Yue glanced at the milky white hot spring water, and felt that Xiao Yi's suggestion was not unfeasible. Simply let Baihui Lily help her to dress up and take off the hair ornaments on her head. The hair is up... Although it is a bit troublesome, when she soaked in the hot spring water, she felt that everything was worth it.
The tiredness from the previous multi-hour trip seemed to dissolve with the heat, but I felt that the heavens and the world were very comfortable.
Nangong Yue's whole body was soaked in the warm hot springs, only showing the head of the moth, and the surrounding steam was steaming, and soon her beautiful face was steamed red and watery.
Xiao Yi had been looking at her with a smile on her face, and leaned over to sneak in, holding her hand under the water.
Nangong Yue turned her head and smiled at him. Xiao Yi's smile made Xiao Yi feel that her heart was going to change.
After soaking for nearly half an hour, the two came out of the hot spring and went to pick some fresh vegetables and fruits together. Xiao Yi also took her up the mountain to fight some game and came back.Nangong Yue originally wanted to cook for herself, but today is her birthday, Xiao Yi bravely wants to cook a big meal for her.
Nangong Yue smiled between her eyes and smiled as Xiao Yi worked for herself.
Although Xiao Yi's cooking skills are generally not as good, the best ingredients are cooked like the big pot rice in the military camp, but Nangong Yue still raves about it.
Her compliment made Xiao Yi proud, and decided to practice well, and he will make a big meal for his stinky girl next time!
The two happily stayed in Zhuangzi for one night, and went to climb the mountain again the next morning, and then returned to the Wangdu with unwillingness.
When they returned to the palace, the sunset almost completely fell.
The two got off the carriage at the second door and saw that Zhu Xing was already there. Obviously, something was going to be reported to Xiao Yi.
"Then I will go back first."
Nangong Yue said that she would go back to the inner court alone, but Xiao Yi took her hand and refused to let go, so Nangong Yue simply went with him.
Zhu Xing looked at the nose and stood there, looking at the two of them with a blind eye, but secretly rejoicing in his heart: Ye Ziye and Shi Zifei are so well matched! Maybe next year... well, maybe In the next year, there will be a little master!
The three quickly arrived at the study. After sitting down, Zhu Xing reported the incidents that occurred in Wang Du during the two days that Xiao Yi left Wang Du.
Most of them were dynasty politics, including the emperor officially setting the time for the opening of the second and third princes; the three adult princes were successively placed in the courtesy of the Ministry of Ethics, the Ministry of Industry, and the Lifan Academy, while the five princes went to the Hube; the envoy of Baiyue The reconciliation was brought up again, but the emperor only allowed the three princes to continue to play around with them in the Wangdu, avoiding the proposal of reconciliation.
In addition to this, there is another big thing...
"...In the early dynasty today, the old man of the left servant of the rite department made an offer to the emperor, and he begged the emperor to rectify the honorable family. He said that the emperor had said that when he was alive, the prince should have rules. Those who have losses are not allowed to attack Jue; three are those with disabilities. They are not allowed to attack Jue. Now there are many unconformable acts among honors and honors.
Xiao Yi's jaw slightly, this is really not a big deal, but the bureau suddenly got such a discount, and I don't know what the reason was.
At this time, Nangong Yue was slightly surprised, and asked, "Whoever has a disability should not attack the prince...Is this really what the first emperor said?"
Zhu Xing couldn't understand why she asked in this way, but she still replied: "When the first emperor was alive, he did set such a rule, but he did not strictly demand it. All along, as long as the emperor approves the fold, he has no People put their beaks....Even if Shuzi attacked Jazz, there were one or two among the kings."
Nangong Yue's face was not good, she asked, "Can the emperor have a quasi-perform?"
Zhu Xing replied: "The emperor ordered the cabinet to discuss again. There is no final conclusion."
Nangong Yue said frowningly: "If the emperor allowed this, what would the eldest brother-in-law do?"
Pei Yuanchen is not good at doing things, it can be classified as "with a disability".If you don't have the title of a prince, you will not be able to continue your position in the future, and the long room will only be attached to the second room in the future.For the time being, the second room of the Pei family is not a fuel-efficient lamp!
Xiao Yi raised her eyebrows and suddenly said: "How can the old man of the rite department suddenly propose this to the emperor? ... It is just a coincidence, or is it something else?"
Nangong Yue stunned, "Ai, do you mean... is this someone deliberately arranged?"
Xiao Yi said with a smile: "Not long ago, in the early dynasty, some people invited the five princes to be the princes. The attitude of the emperor was almost allowed. Moreover, the five princes were sent to the Hubu this time. Obviously the emperor started to train him. Dealing with political affairs."
Nangong Yue naturally knew this, so Xiao Yi continued: "I think, the three adult princes may be unwilling, try to let go." He said, and then explained to Nangong Yue, "If I If you remember correctly, the Pei family in Jian'anbo Prefecture has been leading the errands of Kunshan Jianrui Camp from their ancestors."
Nangong Yue blurted out, "Kunshan Jianrui Camp?" She was like a tae initiation, and she understood it all at once, "Is this incident aimed at the elder brother-in-law's birthright from the beginning?"
Xiao Yi said keenly, "Kunshan Jianrui Yingwei King Capital, if he can get the support of Jian'an Bo Mansion, it will be the best help for his succession. But Jian Anbo's person has always been stable and only loyal to the emperor. It will not be easily biased towards any prince. So, which prince should want to find another way."
Since the current Jian Anbo support is not available, the same will be true for the next Jian Anbo support.
Once he helped Erfang win the title, he could firmly hold Jian'anbo Mansion and even Kunshan Jianruiying in his hands.
What a calculation!
Through the rules set by the first emperor, it was easy to take the birthplace of Pei Yuanchen, and Pei’s parents’ room had only Pei Yuanchen’s son, and Pei Yuanchen had no heirs. In hand.
Seeing Nangong Yue's face looking sad, Xiao Yi was distressed. Whether it was the battle between the world's sons of Jian'an Bo and the battle between the royal family's heirs, he had nothing to do with him. He never cared about it, but it made the smelly girl so upset. That is unforgivable!
Xiao Yi ordered without hesitation; "Zhu Xing, order someone to look up the old man in this rite. I want to know which prince he is."
Zhu Xing respectfully ordered and went out to order people.
Xiao Yi took Nangongyue's hand and comforted him, "Don't worry, let's get things clear first, and then we will find a solution."
Nangong Yue nodded and smiled reluctantly at him.
The three elder princes of the emperor all had the heart to win the heirs. Although she felt that Han Lingfu was more suspicious, she could not make a conclusive conclusion before everything was verified.
Nangong Yue thought for a moment and summoned Bai Hui who was standing in the study room and said, "You take a jar of fruit wine that we brought back from Zhuangzi today and send it to Jian'an Bo for the elder sister to taste."
It was late in the evening, and I specially sent fruit wine in the past. Obviously, it was not so simple for Nangong to taste it. Bai Hui knew it and retired.
