first and second

===

Liu Wenchao opened the door, and was very surprised to see three people standing outside the door.

"What's the matter with you?"

Chen Wenqing pointed to the box in his hand, the meaning was very clear, it was here to put the box.

Liu Wenchao looked at him and said, "Go in." Then he said to Qiu Si, "What do you want?"

Qiu Si glanced at Ji Rufeng who was motionless at the side, and said, "My lord, can I go in and talk to you?"

Liu Wenchao said: "Go to the study."

Liu Wenchao sat on the desk chair, put his hands on the desk, with a businesslike attitude.

Qiu Si took out a small black porcelain bottle from his belt and handed it to the desk.

Liu Wenchao glanced at it and asked, "What is this?"

"This is the medicine I told you about last time. It's called Zhexiansan. You should use it carefully. You can't use too much at a time, or you'll fall asleep."

Liu Wenchao hummed and said, "You can go out now."

After a while, Qiu Si still stood still, Liu Wenchao raised his head to look at him, and asked, "Is there anything else you need?"

"No," Qiu Si tugged his sleeves tightly with his fingers, and said, "Your Excellency hasn't come for a while, I-I want to..."

"Qiu Si," Liu Wenchao interrupted what he hadn't said: "I have a parrot in my bedroom, and I will entrust it to you. If you need anything, you can tell the butler."

Qiu Si's eyes darkened, and he whispered, "Got it."

After Qiu Si went out, Liu Wenchao took a Langhao pen from the pen holder and wrote down on the paper: the names of the Queen, Li Changshuo, Ma Nianzheng, Chen Xueliang, and Li Chengyun. He crossed out Li Changshuo's name first.

The emperor has not abolished the crown prince because he was afraid of the good year of the horse. Maybe he was counting on Li Changshuo to be crowned crown prince again after this turmoil passed.

Liu Wenchao in front of the desk narrowed his eyes, raised the Langhao pen again, and crossed out the queen's name.

A few days later, Concubine Lan Gui's birthday finally arrived, and Li Chengyun hurried back the night before.

Emperor Huiming held a family banquet and invited several close officials. At night, Fengtian Hall was brightly lit.

Emperor Huiming sat high in the hall, and Concubine Lan Gui sat next to him.

There were not too many rules for the family banquet, Liu Wenchao and Tang Weizhen also sat next to each other, this time without Chen Xueliang standing between them, it was much easier for them to talk.

Chen Xueliang sat directly opposite the two of them. He followed the rules all his life, was cautious, and did not dare to go too far. He couldn't understand Liu Wenchao and Tang Weizhen's 'broken sleeves'.

Liu Fang doesn't have so many ideas, she just sits wherever there is a seat.

Li Chengyun sat alone on the lower left side of Emperor Huiming, looking deserted, at this time Xiulian whispered a few words in Concubine Lan's ear, Concubine Lan smiled and nodded, indicating that she understood.

Concubine Lan Gui said: "Youning, look behind Concubine Mother, who is coming?" Concubine Lan Gui's voice was just right, enough for everyone in the room to hear clearly.

Everyone followed her words and looked behind Concubine Lan, only to see a woman wearing a moon-white round neck jacket and a bright red pleated skirt walking out slowly, the hairpin on her head fluttering in the candlelight The bottom is particularly conspicuous.

Everyone held their breath and couldn't help being surprised. It turned out that Tang Weizhen's younger sister, Tang Yiqing, had already grown into a slim girl. No wonder the unmarried king of Chu would marry her as his concubine.

Liu Wenchao and Tang Weizhen were all taken aback, why did this girl come here.

In this flash of light, Liu Wenchao turned his head slightly to look at Li Chengyun. He never thought that Li Chengyun was also looking at him with puzzled eyes. Under the crowd, the two looked at each other and smiled, but soon turned away. Face.

Tang Weizhen's eyes were not hidden from this subtle movement, he clenched his fist and pretended not to see it.

Li Chengyun stood up and said with a smile: "So it's my fiancée who came." After speaking, he remained motionless, not intending to let Tang Yiqing sit beside him.

The scene was a bit embarrassing for a moment, Concubine Lan saw that her son had no intention of coming to greet Tang Yiqing, she had invited him here, she didn't want to embarrass Tang Yiqing, so she stood up and brought Tang Yiqing to sit next to Li Chengyun herself, that was enough Tang Yiqing face.

"Youning, I will leave your concubine to you." Concubine Lan took Tang Yiqing's hand again and said, "If he neglects you, you can come to find concubine mother, and concubine mother will vent her anger for you later."

Judging by the tone of voice, Concubine Lan Gui is very satisfied with this future daughter-in-law, and she has called herself concubine mother before she got married.

Ying Xin at the side ordered Guanglu Temple to open the banquet, and asked the Secretary of the Jiaofang to come to add to the fun. Finally, a small group of court ladies and eunuchs came up one after another, all of them dragging all kinds of rare treasures in their hands.

Emperor Huiming seemed to be in a good mood tonight, with a smile on his face, he raised his wine glass and said to Concubine Lan Gui, "My dear concubine, today is your birthday, and I rewarded you with these." The strange treasure was sent to Concubine Lan Gui for her to see.

Tang Weizhen whispered to Liu Wenchao who was at the side: "The emperor will not abolish the queen, nor will he abolish the prince, and now he is holding a birthday for Concubine Lan in such a grand manner, what does he mean?"

Liu Wenchao said: "Maybe the emperor still wants Li Changshuo to be the crown prince, I will force him to make a choice."

Tang Weizhen was slightly worried: "What are you going to do?"

"Wait and watch the show." Liu Wenchao smiled mysteriously.

Sitting next to Li Chengyun, Tang Yiqing was overwhelmed by Li Chengyun's strong aura. She regretted being invited here today. She bravely said to Li Chengyun, "Let's talk."

Li Chengyun played with the wrench on his right thumb, and said coldly: "We have nothing to talk about."

Seeing Li Chengyun's attitude, Tang Yiqing couldn't help shrinking back a little, not wanting to offend this giant Buddha, but Xuan Jing's shadow suddenly appeared in her mind, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Do you know what love is, my lord?"

"You know?" Li Chengyun was aroused by the question she asked, and said, "What is love?"

Tang Yiqing said truthfully: "When I don't see him, I think about him all the time. I can't eat or sleep well. When I'm with him, I feel very at ease and at ease. Li Qingzhao once said that he only frowned, but Come to think of it, that’s how it feels.”

Li Chengyun took a sip of wine and said, "So, you have someone you love."

"Yes," Tang Yiqing boldly looked at Li Chengyun. Although she was handsome and unrestrained, she still liked Xuan Jing's deep tranquility.

She really wanted to take this opportunity to propose to the emperor about retiring the engagement, but brother Wen Chao said that it would take some time before he could raise the issue of retiring, and she felt that her internal organs were all entangled.

Just when she was struggling, Li Chengyun's voice sounded in her ear.

"Ask me if I know what love is." Li Chengyun snorted and said, "I've loved someone for nine years. Do you think I know what love is?"

When he spoke, his eyes were looking at Liu Wenchao, and it happened that Liu Wenchao was also looking at him at this moment. Li Chengyun raised his wine glass and clinked with him in the air in front of the crowd, looking at him with extremely hot eyes.

Liu Wenchao smiled slightly, nodded, raised the wine glass in front of him and drank it down in one gulp.

Only the two of them know what kind of emotions are contained in this series of subtle movements.

Tang Yiqing never knew that there was such an infatuated kind in the royal family, didn't they say that Wuqing is the emperor's family the most?

"That woman is really lucky to be admired by the aloof King Chu for so many years."

Li Chengyun chuckled and did not correct what she said.

Tang Yiqing suddenly remembered the time when Li Chengyun put his arms around Liu Wenchao's waist in Qingying Pavilion, and blurted out: "I thought the King of Chu liked Brother Wenchao."

Li Chengyun raised his eyebrows: "Brother Wen Chao? Where did you see that?"

"That time in Qingying Pavilion, Brother Wen Chao was stirred up by someone, King Chu, you quickly hugged him, and Brother Wen Chao didn't fall." Tang Yiqing said: "Look at the look in Brother Wen Chao's eyes and the way he looks. The eyes of other people are different. You always look like you are not interested in others, but you have a little more humanity in your eyes when you look at Brother Shang Wenchao. Just now, the half of me sitting next to you During the hour, you have been staring at Brother Wen Chao."

"Really?" Li Chengyun finally took a direct look at Tang Yiqing and asked, "You and Liu Wenchao have a good relationship?"

"That's it," Tang Yiqing said happily: "Brother Wenchao has been very kind to me since I was a child. Every time my brother got angry with me and wanted to hit me, it was Brother Wenchao who stopped him and came to comfort me."

Li Chengyun said: "Didn't he conspire with Tang Weizhen to marry you to me?"

Li Chengyun just wanted to anger her, and called Wen Chao's brother so affectionately.

The corners of Tang Yiqing's mouth hung down, and he said: "Actually, I came here this time to propose a divorce with the emperor, but Brother Wenchao said that it would take a while to say so, so I am very conflicted, King Chu, since you also have someone you love, do you want to marry me?" Otherwise, go and tell the emperor."

Li Chengyun thought to himself, Liu Wenchao and Tang Weizhen are so scheming, how could they raise their sister so innocently, forget it, she is just a girl, there is no need to be serious with her.

"I will take the initiative to talk to my father about the divorce."

The two of them talked and attracted Emperor Huiming's attention. Emperor Huiming turned his head and said to Li Chengyun: "Youning, you returned to Changping this time and wiped out the bandits who have been entrenched in Yijing Mountain for many years. You did a good job. What grace do you want?"

Li Chengyun stood up and said: "I do have something that I need to ask my father for permission."

"Oh?" Emperor Huiming said, "What's the matter?"
