A bucket of Jiangshan [Rebirth]

After leaving the palace and the two got into the carriage, Yan Shulou held Du Mingqian's hand happily: "Since I was fined to contemplate behind closed doors for three days, there is just enough extra time for me to accompany you to peace!"

Du Mingqian withdrew his hand indiscriminately, and smiled faintly: "My lord, we have been confined for three days instead of resting for three days. If the Holy Majesty finds out, he will be furious. I just need to write a letter from my brother to explain it. Don't worry. The minister will not tell the cause of today."

"Huh?" Yan Shulou grabbed Du Mingqian's hand with his backhand, and pressed it hard, as if he had to be sure of something before letting go, "You really don't care? After three days of marriage, you only have one time in your life!"

Du Mingqian curled his lips helplessly: "This is the end of the matter, what's the point of me caring about it?" He quietly squeezed Yan Shulou's hand and put it back on his lap, "It has already happened and cannot be changed."

Yan Shulou stared at the hand that threw him away and frowned: "Mingyu, you don't need to say more, I will definitely accompany you on the Guining matter, so don't worry, I have my own way to solve the father. But , you really don't care? Otherwise, why did you throw my hand away repeatedly? Oh, I know!" He clapped his hands and grinned, "You're making a fuss, don't, twist!"

Du Mingqian immediately grabbed Yan Shulou's hand back, interlocking his fingers!

Sure enough, not long after returning to the palace, a palace official came to report. The emperor went up to take a look at Yan Zhaoqi, saw that he was still copying books, felt distressed for a moment, and then spared his punishment.Having gained the advantage, Yan Zhaoqi went up to the emperor and acted coquettishly with the emperor, saying that his brother and sister-in-law were punished by him, and the day of return to peace would be delayed, and he hoped that the emperor would also be exempted from responsibility.Seeing that the two of them in Yan Shulou also helped Yan Zhaoqi copy the books all night, the emperor calmed down a little, and sent someone to secretly send a message to Yan Shulou, allowing him to go to Du Shilang's mansion to "ground his feet" for a day.

Upon hearing the news, Yan Shulou raised his brows with joy, and looked at Du Mingqian triumphantly, but Du Mingqian was extremely helpless, shaking his head and saying nothing. .

Considering that Du Mingqian hadn't slept all night and was extremely exhausted, Yan Shulou asked someone to write a letter to Du Shilang, telling him that they would return to Ning after lunch.After taking a bath in a hurry, Yan Shulou asked people to put their bedding and pillows in the side room, and make room for Du Mingqian to sleep in the main room.Du Mingqian didn't dare to accept the gift, he hurriedly said that he was married, and the prince didn't want to live with him. How could he let the prince sleep in the side room and sleep in the main room by himself? As soon as he curled up, he faced the wall...and fell asleep.

It's ugly to say that Mianbi thinks about his faults, but in fact, he is given three days to rest, that is, he is not allowed to eat meat and vegetables, only vegetarian, and he is not allowed to go out and listen to music.

Yan Shulou was indeed exhausted and panicked. The day before yesterday he was startled by Du Mingqian's fainting, and yesterday he was terrified by the incident with the white tiger.It was almost noon when he woke up.

"Tu Tuk Tuk." At the right time, someone knocked on the door, and it turned out that Chang Shi Mo Ling had arrived.

As soon as Mo Lingling entered the door, he closed the door first, and then informed Yan Shulou of the news he got today.

It turned out that today in the court, the emperor asked all the ministers about the white tiger. The ministers were divided into two factions. One faction believed that according to the laws of the Jing Dynasty, beasts would be punished for hurting people, while the emperor and the common people were guilty of the same crime, and the white tiger was of equal status. , although capital crimes can be avoided, living crimes cannot be escaped, and punishment is indispensable.The other school of thought believed that the white tiger was a god and could not be punished, but that the King Yan who injured it should be punished.

The two sides insisted on their own arguments and argued for nearly half a day. Finally, the quarrel ended with Yan Pincheng's sentence "The white tiger hurts people and should be severely punished".At that time, the whole hall fell silent, the emperor who wanted to protect the holy beast was so angry that his nose was smoking, he scolded Yan Pincheng on the spot for not paying attention to his father, and retreated.At this point, everyone no longer dares to judge at will and speculate on the holy will.

After hearing the news, Yan Shulou frowned with a smile. At this moment, the emperor who wanted to save the holy beast would definitely do his best to track down the culprit, and he only needed to stay in the palace and put on a show.As for Yanpin City... Heh, don't worry, take your time.

After calling Mo to listen, Yan Shulou happily rolled around on the bed with the quilt in his arms. When he had finished rolling, he reluctantly got out of bed, put on his clothes and trousers, and called someone to prepare a large cart of gifts for Du Mingqian in return. The door ceremony, I don't want to lose a bit of Du Mingqian's face.

When they arrived at Du Shilang's house, the whole family got the news early and went out to greet them at the door. When they saw Yan Shulou, they all made a big salute. Yan Shulou hurriedly helped the three of them up, and turned back to the carriage to welcome Du Mingqian out .

After entering the main hall and waiting for Yan Shulou to sit down, Du Shilang saw that Jiang Shi had been holding Du Mingqian's hand and looked at him flickeringly. He thought she wanted to have a few words of kindness with Du Mingqian, so he asked: "Yan His Royal Highness, I think his mother and son should have something to say, I wonder if you can..."

Yan Shu drank the fragrant tea without looking up, waved his hand and agreed.

Jiang Shifu thanked him with a salute, and after obtaining Yan Shulou's consent, he brought the two brothers Du Mingqian to the backyard.

"Ming Yu, I wonder how His Royal Highness King Yan treats you?" Even though Jiang Shi agreed with both hands to marry off the child, she couldn't help worrying, after all, Du Mingqian is a man who can't bear children.

"Mother, he treats me very well, so there's no need to worry."

"Hmph, does he treat you well?" Du Yugong who was at the side snorted coldly.

Du Mingqian glanced at Du Yugong: "Brother."

Du Yugong is similar to Du Mingqian in appearance, but Du Mingqian's appearance is softer, and his facial lines are more rigid. What's more different is that Du Mingqian's red phoenix eyes are rippling, but his eyes are narrow and long like foxes, adding a bit of viciousness. .He snorted coldly again, and told Jiang the whole story of Du Mingqian's punishment, and revealed in his words that Du Mingqian would take the blame because of Yan Shulou's incompetence.

"Oh, what's going on here," Jiang patted Du Mingqian's hand, "How could the Holy Majesty punish you for being so good?"

Du Mingqian did not want to go into details about such intrigue and holy beasts, but only patted Jiang's hand to comfort him: "Mother just believes that the prince is innocent, and the emperor will find out the truth in the future and return his innocence." .”

"Humph."

With an inaudible hum, Du Mingqian couldn't escape his ears. He slanted towards Du Yugong and frowned: "Brother, I know that you have misunderstood the prince, but this time it is true that he was wronged. If I don't help you If he takes the blame, he will definitely be squeezed out in the palace, which will not be conducive to staying in the palace in the future."

Du Yugong kept a straight face and refused to comment.

Mrs. Jiang couldn't see it anymore, and she felt a little bit of Du Yugong's forehead: "Same respect! No matter what your status is, His Highness King Yan can allow you to be dissatisfied with him. For my mother, you are jealous of Ming Yuxun. A good family, and you haven't married yet!"

"My child dare not." Du Yugong said humblely, but his expression was very arrogant.

Mrs. Jiang gave him a sideways glance, then quickly turned to Du Mingqian and said with a smile: "Mingyu, don't take it to heart. Your elder brother is just like your father, he is a dead-headed person, not tactful enough, and he doesn't know how to offend people when he speaks bluntly. Think about it, he has been an official for a few years, but he has not been promoted. He has been a minor official serving the censor in the palace, and he can't even get a daughter-in-law. Fortunately, the Holy One opened his eyes and gave you a marriage. Otherwise, wait until your brother gets married It's too late for you to marry again."

Du Yugong is an upright person, but whenever he sees a little bit of bribery, he will be picked up and prosecuted, so that he is often suppressed by others, and he will not be promoted for several years as an official, Du Mingqian knows it well.Compared to this, Du Mingqian cared more about what his mother said about the Holy Majesty opening his eyes to grant marriage.This sounds like a great honor, but according to his understanding of the relationship between the emperor and Yan Shulou in his previous life, the emperor gave him the marriage regardless of his unmarried elder brother, but he was anxious to let Yan Shulou marry a male concubine, so that he would cut off his succession to the throne qualifications.Although male empresses were not uncommon in the Jing Dynasty since the establishment of the dynasty, the emperor would not pass the throne to those who had male concubines for the sake of pure blood.

Du Mingqian smiled, and then went on to gossip.

The time in Guining was only half a day, and the three of them chatted about some household chores and had to return to the palace before sunset.

After seeing off Du Mingqian and the two, Du Yugong helped Jiang Shi back to the room.When Fang closed the door and came out, he saw Du Shilang waving to him quietly. Du Yugong walked over and asked in a low voice: "Father, what's the matter."

"King Yan and Mingyu were fined to contemplate their mistakes behind closed doors. What's going on?" Du Shilang frowned. He went out of the city yesterday on business and returned today, so he didn't participate in the ceremony of worshiping the holy beast. When I rushed back this morning, I heard rumors from someone in the palace that Mingyu fainted on purpose during the wedding in order to resist the emperor's marriage by action. How many crimes!"

"I don't know the specific situation," Du Yugong shook his head and said, "Baby's status is not enough to participate in the worship ceremony. Everything I know is from the mouth of the minister. As for the gossip about Mingyu, I always It feels like someone did it on purpose, yesterday it was safe and sound, but today it suddenly spread like crazy, the boy is worried," his brows were twisted into a pimple, "could it be that King Yan didn't like Mingyu? And a deliberate setup?"

"I don't like Mingyu?!" Du Shilang's voice was suspended, "How is it possible! Then why did he accompany Mingyu back today? Besides, he was the one who proposed kissing in front of the Holy One that day."

"What!" Du Yugong turned pale with shock, "Father, who did you say was the kiss?"

Du Shilang hesitated for a moment, and then told what happened in the study that day: "I was surprised at the beginning, but being my father's servant has nothing to do. Mingyu also admitted that he and Yan Wang are old friends. So I didn't think too much about it for my father. For my father, Mingyu's face looks good today, and King Yan should have treated him well."

Du Yugong's brows tightened even more: "At first, my boy thought that the Holy Majesty offered the marriage, but I didn't expect...then why did King Yan take the initiative to cut off his inheritance?"

"I can't figure it out as a father," Du Shilang sighed, "Could it be that you think this matter is different?"

"According to Hai'er's understanding of King Yan, this man is too scheming, very happy, and has a violent temper. He doesn't seem to be a person who would give up the throne for love, so Mingyu married him that day. I am willing, but my son thinks that the marriage is bestowed by the emperor, so I don't dare to talk nonsense. Now, my son is worried that Yan Wangling is the purpose. Father, when he proposed to love Mingyu that day, did you say why he fell in love with Mingyu?"

Du Shilang stroked his short beard, pondered for a while and recalled: "It seems to say that he knew Mingyu when he was young, and he will never forget him after we parted."

Du Mingqian lived at home all year round and rarely went out, so how could he have contact with the prince Yan Shulou? Could it be that Yan Shulou remembered that incident?No, no, Du Yugong shook his head again, if so, Ming Yu would definitely tell him about it.Since Mingyu didn't say anything, it could only be that Yan Shulou accidentally discovered Mingyu's ability and wanted to use him...

No, Du Yugong was taken aback, he had to remind Mingyu not to be jealous of Yan Shu!

As a result, Du Yugong's complexion changed, and he turned around in a hurry to write a letter, which was chased by someone and sent to Du Mingqian.

It's a pity that the person who delivered the letter was a step too late, Du Mingqian had already entered the mansion.The person who sent the letter came out in a hurry and had no identification, so the guards of the palace would not allow him to enter.The sender had no choice but to see that Mo Ling was still busy outside the mansion, so he stepped forward to reveal his identity and asked him to deliver the letter to Du Mingqian for him. .

Mo Ling took the letter, rewarded the sender with some silver, turned around and went back home.

It's a pity that the person who sent the letter didn't know that the palace was heavily guarded and controlled. He was an unknown person who sent the letter. In order to avoid fraud in the letter, Mo Ling would not send it to Du Mingqian directly, but handed it over to Yan Shulou. It decides how to deal with it.

After finding out where the Yan Shu Tower was, Mo Ling rushed over.

When Mo Ling came, Yan Shulou was holding Du Mingqian's hand in a happy mood, wandering on a scenic path in Wangfu, Yan Shulou happily introduced the scenery to Du Mingqian as he walked, and when he got excited, he unknowingly took He went down a lonely path.

At this time, whispers came from the rockery on the left.

"Have you heard that the concubine's fainting at the wedding was actually intentional!"

"No, why would he do this?"

"I heard that he was dissatisfied with the marriage bestowed by the emperor, so he fainted on purpose. In fact, if you ask me, this princess is too evil. She fainted on the day she entered the palace, and was fined and grounded when she entered the palace the next day. , Tsk, everything is disrespectful to the emperor."

"Isn't that right! You said, the princess was haunted by some kind of ghost because of her frail body, so she brought bad luck when she entered the mansion."

"Oh, who do you think brought bad luck into the mansion?"

"Who else could it be, of course..." The gossip girl froze for a moment, and realized that the person who was asking the question was actually a man, and this man was none other than Yan Shulou!

"Why don't you say it, huh?" Yan Shulou's eyes were ice-cold, and a cold coercion pressed towards the two maids, "Didn't you just say that you were excited, tell me more about it?"

"My lord... my lord, forgive my sin, my lord, forgive my sin!" In an instant, the two maids fell to the ground, kowtowing their heads, not daring to make a sound.

"Forgive me? Tell me," Yan Shulou said coldly, bent down and pinched the chin of one of the maids, forcing those panicked eyes to look at him, "What crime did you commit? ".

"Slave... I committed a crime..." The servant girl turned pale with fright, her voice was too trembling to continue, "My lord forgive me, my lord forgive me, my servant shouldn't be chewing on the back of the princess's tongue, I know I was wrong."

"What's the use of knowing you're wrong!" Yan Shulou narrowed his eyes dangerously, "If you hurt the princess, can you swallow it back!"

The maid's complexion changed drastically, she shivered and shouted that she knew she was wrong, and begged the prince to forgive her.

But Yan Shulou laughed loudly: "Hahaha, this king will forgive you? It's a good idea!" He kicked the two maids over, and cursed with a sullen face, "It seems that this king I am too kind to you! This princess is the concubine appointed by the emperor of the real dragon. She has the protection of the real dragon and her own auspiciousness! You stupid slaves are so shameless and ruin the reputation of the princess, what should I do! Come on , call the whole house to the martial arts training ground, and then drag these two people to the martial arts training ground, and beat them a hundred times! This king wants to see if anyone else dares to gossip!"
