In this life, I will drink the long wind

, and then go to Fangfei Hall to visit the concubine mother. "

same period.

In the Baihua Building opposite Wanghua Building.

Because it was not night, the Baihua Building was quiet.

In the small warm pavilion on the top floor of Baihua Building, there is also a person looking out of the window.

Yao Lingyun stood leaning on the railing, looking at the scenery outside the Baihua Building leisurely, the spring breeze was blowing, Yao Lingyun took a deep breath, the air in his nostrils was cool, with the sweet fragrance of hundreds of flowers.

Qingguan Xiuzhu, who was sitting idly inside, was yawning with his head down.

The spring breeze blew in, and the material was steep to the bone, and Xiu Zhu woke up suddenly.

"I said Mr. Xun, you called me over early in the morning and didn't say anything, what are you going to do?"

"Early morning?" The person by the window looked back after hearing the words, surprised in his words, leaning against the railing with a smile, light robes with slow ribbons, and fluttering skirts, revealing an indescribable sense of dust and elegance under the twilight, " It's almost sunset, and you still say it's early in the morning?"

"For people in our business, as long as the sun has not set, it's early." Xiu Zhu waved his hands, as if he didn't want to talk to him, and said unhappily, "You have Tell me what's going on, I might be able to sleep for an hour and a half after I'm done."

Yao Lingyun stared at him, his eyes moved with the corners of his eyes, and his smile seemed to flow out of a room of warm sunlight, and he said slowly: "I'm here to see Aunt Lian, by the way, let me ask you Condition."

It just so happened that Aunt Lian wasn't here, so you came looking for me?

This is what Yao Lingyun did not say.

Xiuzhu felt tired, but now that he was talking about business, he also suppressed his sloppy expression, and said seriously: "Murong Huai is still the same as before, he will come to our building from time to time, and Prime Minister Zuo also They are the same, but the two of them have no intersection at all, the girls they order are different, and the rooms they choose are completely different." After deliberating for a while, Xiuzhu said firmly, "Based on my observations for a while, I can confirm that they are not related."

Yao Lingyun rested his hand on his chin, pondered for a while, and then asked, "Where is Wanghualou?"

"There is no movement." Xiu Zhu shook his head, "I have seen the Fourth Prince come in and out a few times."

Could it be that Prime Minister Zuo really does not support His Royal Highness's seizure of the throne, and everything is just his own superfluous thoughts?

Yao Lingyun was puzzled, but he couldn't think of a reason.

He looked out.

The Baihua Building is one of the tallest buildings in the Eastern Capital City. From where he stood, he could see the end of the mountains far, far away.

In Yao Lingyun's sight right now, the warm sun in the west is gradually setting down from the endless mountains, and the twilight is spreading from the horizon bit by bit, and the dark green mountain peaks are slowly coated with a layer of gentle light. The fog began to slowly drift away from the distant mountains, slowly blurring the surrounding environment.

Both belong to the imperial line of the Yan family, and the Fourth Highness is not someone who cannot be supported, so why is the left prime minister unwilling to support his nephew?

Or it is like the mist in the mountain stream, although it does not move, it controls the world quietly.

"Are you saying it's strange? As an uncle, he doesn't support his nephew." Seeing people like this, Xiu Zhu suddenly opened his mouth and spoke lazily, but under such circumstances, his voice was less than usual The smell is free and easy, with a little more irony.

Yao Lingyun didn't care much about his tone, he just said: "If I didn't think it was strange, why should I let you pay attention."

Xiuzhu spread his hands, and returned to his casual attitude: "At present, there are no clues, only two possibilities."

Yao Lingyun asked, "Which two kinds?"

Xiuzhu said solemnly: "One, they really have no intersection; two, they hide too deeply."

"..." This extremely unscrupulous conclusion made it impossible to find any faults, which made Yao Lingyun speechless for a while. After a long silence, he gave him a thumbs up and praised, "It is well-founded and worthwhile. Praise."

Xiuzhu: "It's easy to say, let's reward a hundred taels of gold."

Yao Lingyun: "Succeed, when Aunt Lian comes back, if you ask her for it directly, just say I agree."

Xiuzhu: "..."

This is why Aunt Lian will pick up the skin and say that I bullied you again. This person's heart is definitely black!

The two looked at each other speechlessly for a while.

After a long time, Xiuzhu got up, walked to Yao Lingyun's side, looked outside, overlooking the entire imperial city.

The sun sets, the wind rises, the sunset glow fades away, and the bright moon rises.

There is a little mist in the imperial city, and the lit Wanjia lanterns, together with the bright moon, illuminate this side of the sky as if it were bright day. Xiuzhu raised his head and looked a little farther away, and he could see the imperial city not far away. The building complex is spread out under the moon, and it is magnificent.

At this moment, Xiu Zhu suddenly said: "There is something I have always wanted to ask you."

"Huh?" The other party suddenly changed his tone, and Yao Lingyun was stunned for a moment. He couldn't help but look sideways at him, and asked in surprise, "What's the matter?"

Xiuzhu also turned his head and looked at him, his expression was uncharacteristically calm, neither happy nor angry, so he looked very serious: "I have been hearing about it for a long time, from some ministers in the court In your mouth, I heard them say that in front of the envoys from the Western Regions, you said that you would keep your filial piety for the right minister for ten years?"

Unexpectedly, the other party asked about this matter, Yao Lingyun was startled again, but after the initial surprise, he returned to normal and nodded: "Yes."

When he said this, he had a smile on his face, as if this was just a trivial matter, not worth asking.

Seeing his attitude, Xiu Zhu frowned: "You know the consequences of your doing so."

Yao Lingyun didn't care much about raising his eyebrows: "What consequences can there be, this is what I want from the bottom of my heart."

"Ah Xun." Seeing this person's attitude, Xiuzhu's brow creases deepened, "Aren't you afraid that he will betray you?"

Xiuzhu's mother was also one of the women and children saved by Yao Mengxuan. According to her last words before she died, she was lucky, but also unlucky.

After being rescued by Yao Mengxuan, she met a businessman, the two hit it off, married, and gave birth to Xiuzhu, but such a peaceful life did not last long. Xiuzhu's father, whose business was getting bigger and bigger, met another woman, and his relationship heated up rapidly. Regardless of public anger, his father insisted on marrying that woman as his second wife.

Xiuzhu's mother couldn't accept this fact, so she wrote a divorce letter that night, divorced her husband, and took Xiuzhu, who was only three years old, to Baihualou.

After Baihualou grew stronger day by day, Aunt Lian also thought about making that man pay the price, but Xiuzhu's mother stepped forward to stop her.

She said that she believed that when the other party made the promise, the promise was true, but the love could not stand the passage of time and finally changed its quality. She did not blame him, and she even thanked him for the good time he gave her. Memory, and their common children, Gong Xing, Lu Gongxing.

After Xiuzhu entered Baihualou, he got acquainted with Yao Xun, and they had known each other for as long as Yanchen.

Xiuzhu has always regarded Yao Xun as his younger brother, so he really doesn't want him to follow in his mother's footsteps.

"I know what you're worried about." Yao Lingyun spoke at the right time, his voice was very soft, but his eyes looking at Xiu Zhu were exceptionally bright, with a smile in his eyes, clear as water, "I believe him."

Xiu Zhu sneered: "My mother also believed that way back then, but what did she get in the end?"

"Emotional matters are not calculated in this way, Brother Gong Xing." Yao Lingyun stared at him, "The most incalculable thing in this world is affection. If affection can be the same as buying and selling, it will be calculated one by one. It is clear, then why are there so many grievances and hatreds in this world."

The moon above the head is gradually rising, and the flow of people under the feet is also increasing. Occasionally, the wind blows past, and the breath is warm and noisy. With the increase of the flow of people, the music in the Baihua Building gradually rises, clear as silver bells The slightly moving sound of the pipa and the singing came from downstairs, like pearls falling on a jade plate, very pleasant to hear.

In such an atmosphere, Yao Lingyun slowly said: "I am willing to believe in him, and he is willing to believe in the same way. We are equal to each other. You are worried that one day he will betray me. I cannot deny this. After all, the future No one can predict what happened, but it is also possible that I failed him one day in the future."

Xiu Zhu wanted to say something, but when he looked at Yao Lingyun's face, he couldn't say anything, because the other person's eyes were clear and bright, as if he was just stating an ordinary fact.

Xiuzhu, whose real name is Lu Gongxing, can only follow the order of the heavens, and stop as soon as he can.

"Forget it, this is your life, as long as you think it's worth it."

☆、How can you get a tiger cub if you don't enter the tiger's den

At noon, dark clouds covered the sun, the weather was gloomy, and the rain was about to fall.

In the study, Yan Yu was writing at the desk, pausing after each stroke, and tea smoke curled up from the corner by the table.

Time passed in silence until there was no end to the smoke and the tea was cold.

Suddenly there were footsteps outside the house, and within a short while, someone knocked on the door and entered.

Those who entered the room stopped a foot away from Yan Yu, bowed and called, "Your Highness."

Yan Yu put down her pen, raised her head, and was startled when she saw that it was the butler who came in person. Although she didn't say a word, she looked with doubts in her eyes.

The butler took a few steps forward and said in a low voice, "That's the one here."

Yan Yu frowned upon hearing this, subconsciously looked out the window.

The trees are green, the mist is vast, and outside the window, it started to rain lightly at some point.

The rain hit the window eaves, rustling, looking through the half-closed window, the sky in the distance was covered with dark clouds, and the wind was moving, but the rain was not heavy, very small, very small, fine raindrops drifted into the house with the wind, It fell on the dried rice paper, and disappeared in an instant without a trace.

Although the sky is gloomy, but the sky is bright, why did that person appear here at this time, could it be...

Is there an accident in the palace?

Thinking of this, Yan Yu immediately got up and walked towards the side hall. He walked very fast, his clothes fluttering with the gust of wind.

But after a while, Yan Yu has arrived at the side hall.

In the middle of the hall.

There was a man standing with his back to the door.

After Yan Yu entered, he waved to the butler behind him to close the door.

When there were only him and himself in the room, Yan Yu said, "Why did you come here in person at this time?"

The people in the house turned around upon hearing the words, and pulled down the hoods on their heads. They were dignified, serene, poised, and their faces were very friendly, which made people feel comfortable and comfortable.

It's Sakura Pearl.

Yingzhu, Concubine Ning's personal maid.

"The plan has changed." Yingzhu said, her voice was obviously urgent, which was completely contrary to her appearance and temperament, "Did your Highness know about the frequent visits of the Fourth Highness to the Yi'an Palace recently?"

Yan Yu nodded, the hands hidden under the hem of his clothes trembled slightly when he heard Yingzhu's words, and his complexion was also stained with a little difficulty that could not be detected without careful identification.

He has not seen Emperor Qi, his father, for a long time.

Yingzhu spoke very anxiously, she didn't notice Yan Yu's strangeness, she saw the person nodding, she continued: "It's the same today, His Highness the Fourth Highness first went to the Hall of Yi'an to pay his respects, but this time, for some reason, he He stayed there for a very long time. After he came out of Yi'an Hall, he had a secret conversation with the imperial concubine behind closed doors. Although he didn't know what the content was, since he left Fangfei Hall, Ning Suqing was full of worries and fell into panic. I tried several times Asked, she never revealed a single word, but the disappointment in her expression was hard to hide, and she even asked about the past twenty years."

I remembered Ning Suqing's expression when he mentioned the past.

The corners of her mouth are slightly raised, the eyelids are slightly lowered, and her long eyelashes cast fan-shaped shadows on her cheeks. She looks like she is smiling, but in reality she is in a state of sadness and cannot extricate herself. She is missing, missing the period that has passed. day.

Thinking of this, Yingzhu snorted coldly in her heart.

sad?miss?What right does she, Ning Suqing, have to be sad?

She is a murderer, what right does she have to miss?

The monstrous anger surged in Yingzhu's heart, but her face did not show the slightest bit, still showing a little eagerness.

The emotions are hidden very well, which shows the depth of his mind.

Don't worry, I will definitely seek justice from the Yan family for you, and the world will finally get what you want!You are at ease.

Yingzhu's complexion did not change, she stared at Yan Yu, and then said: "I have also checked around the Yi'an Hall several times in the past few days. Although there is no major change, the smell of medicine wafting from it is obviously much stronger."

Even though he had expected it, Yan Yu was still startled when he heard the words, and his eyes became dark and unclear.

After being silent for a long time, Yan Yu asked with some uncertainty: "You suspect that the father's body...can't last?"

Yingzhu nodded: "He is already at the end of his strength and has been using drugs to continue his life. The deaths of Yan Xiao and Yao Mengxuan are no different from the last straw that crushes him. It's grown a lot."

Yan Yu remained silent, and at the same time slowly lowered his head, his lowered eyes made it impossible to see the expression in it.

But Yingzhu still noticed it.

He is sad, he is hesitating, and he is weighing the pros and cons.

Seeing Yan Yu like this, Ying Zhu hesitated for a moment, but it was only for a moment, the matter had come to this point, and she had no room for turning back, so she took a gamble with her courage, if she didn't enter the tiger's lair, she would not get a tiger's cub.

Yingzhu made up her mind, as if she couldn't see Yan Yu's struggle, she directly opened her mouth to reveal the current situation of the other party, her words were as heavy as a thousand pounds.

"If Emperor Qi dies at this time, then the eldest prince who bears the responsibility of supervising the country can justifiably ascend the throne as emperor. Your Highness, you should have made a plan early."

Hearing this, Yan Yu raised her head and took a look at Yingzhu. There was no emotion flowing in this look, as calm as a frozen lake in severe winter.

Seeing this, Yingzhu raised her eyebrows slightly, and said again: "Auntie knows that Your Highness is benevolent and virtuous, and you don't want to go to the last step, but the situation is imminent, and I hope Your Highness will make a plan early." , Yingzhu sighed, "Your Highness, this is not only for yourself, it is also your mother's expectation for you, it is her life's regret not to be able to ascend to the throne, and only you can fulfill this last wish for her. "

The tone of Yingzhu's exit was low and gentle, and every word deliberately struck Yan Yu's reason. She did it on purpose, her helplessness, her tone, and even her wording were all carefully selected to provoke Yan Yu's last line of defense.

"Empress Xianshu was bombed to death in the temporary palace because of the insanity of the Southwest King. Emperor Qi felt guilty for this, and swore to God that he would never have another queen besides her. But your mother also died at the hands of the Southwest remnants. At the beginning, if Emperor Qi hadn't made a mistake in his judgment and sent the army south, the empress would not have died, but he was unwilling to even agree to the last request of the empress, just to show the world his hypocritical mask of one-sidedness!"

The place where the dead can affect the living most is in their last words.

The last regret of their life, after the sublimation of death, is often beautified into the beliefs and teachings of the survivors.

Even the so-called last words are just one-sided words.

Yingzhu's words hit Yan Yu's heart word by word, and the blood on his face faded away one by one, turning into a pale white. Finally, when Yan Yu raised his head, all the luster disappeared, replaced by a firm Ruthless.

That's right, even if you are not yourself, you have to take this step for your mother and those who support you in Zhuqi Villa in the south of the Yangtze River!

"I have never forgotten my mother's expectations. If my aunt hadn't told me about these things, I would probably still be kept in the dark."

Seeing the person's expression, the tense nerves in Ying Zhu's heart were relaxed, at least half of the success has been achieved.

"The people who were with the empress back then, except for me, are all dead. In addition, there have always been rumors in the palace that the empress is indifferent to fame and wealth, and has no intention of succeeding. If I hadn't been there at the time, these things would have been impossible. Got it." Yingzhu looked at Yan Yu, and slowly lowered her tone. While speaking, she changed her mind slightly, and then naturally changed the subject, "If Concubine Ning Guifei didn't have the heart, I was a maidservant with no power or power , I am afraid that he has already died of serious injuries, and when His Highness ascends to the throne, please treat her and the fourth Highness kindly for the sake of this old slave."

Yan Yu turned to look at Yingzhu, but didn't answer his question directly, only said: "Fourth brother is moving a lot lately."

Yingzhu smiled elegantly: "The actions of the Fourth Highness, as far as His Highness is concerned, must be nothing more than small troubles."

Yan Yu raised her eyebrows and smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.

Seeing people like this, Ying Zhu also knew that it was not the time to talk about this matter, so she changed her mind and said, "If Your Highness has plans, it doesn't matter if you use that dark chess piece."

Yan Yu was stunned: "If he really takes this step, he will definitely die."

Yingzhu looked at Yan Yu with a firm expression: "Whether it's me or him, we've made it this far to repay your mother's kindness. It's his honor to be able to contribute to His Highness."

With a firm demeanor and a determined tone, Yan Yu saw that there was a slight wave on his face that was originally waveless, and a warm current flowed through his heart. He couldn't help slowing down his tone: "I will consider this matter, you Go back first, remember to be careful, don't make people suspicious."

Yingzhu nodded, leaned over and saluted: "Well, that old servant will leave."

After Yingzhu left, Yan Yu stood there in a daze for a long time, just in time for the breeze to open the window, coldly calling his mind back, allowing him to see the misty and rainy mountains and rivers in front of him.

Yan Yu started to walk to the window, looking at the scenery outside the window.

Yan Yu's focused eyes concealed a deep sense of loneliness. Since she left, he hasn't smiled for a long time.

Is this a step to exaggerate?

Asking himself, Yan Yu turned around and walked out of the side hall.

When Yan Yu found it, Ye Xingfeng was sitting lazily and comfortably in the pavilion in the bamboo forest in the backyard, with a jug of wine by his side and a qin in front of his knees. At the same time, the fingertips also ticked a few solitary residual sounds.

Yan Yu came from afar, and behind him, there was someone holding an umbrella to protect him from the rain, and stepped into the pavilion, Yan Yu raised his eyebrows, and said in a low voice: "Xingfeng is really very interesting."

Seeing this, Ye Xingfeng glanced at the attendant behind Yan Yu who was closing the umbrella, put down the guqin, stood up, and saluted.

"Xingfeng has seen the lord."

Yan Yu raised his hand to signal him to stand up, waved his wrist backwards, and the attendants behind him were ordered to step back.

Seeing the people stepping back, Ye Xingfeng returned to his usual casualness, pointed to the jug on the bench, and asked, "Does Your Highness want a drink?"

Yan Yu ignored his invitation and just watched the rain with his hands behind his back.His eyes were dark and his expression was unclear. After a long while, he cut to the chase and said, "I got the news that Father is seriously ill. What do you think about this matter?"

Ye Xingfeng was startled when he heard the words, his eyes quickly and secretly glanced at Yan Yu, and then he staggered his eyes very cleverly, pondered for a while, and asked with a little hesitation: "What do you mean by the so-called serious illness?" After a pause, After a long time, Ye Xingfeng said again slowly, "Is there no way to recover?"

Yan Yu frowned, turned his head, and stared at Ye Xingfeng calmly, his dark eyes did not show the usual peaceful atmosphere, only chilling and gloomy, with a compelling gaze.

Seeing this, Ye Xingfeng was startled again, and his heart trembled immediately. Looking at the tall and straight figure in front of him, Ye Xingfeng actually felt powerless for a moment, as if he was not giving him advice, but him In control of their own ideas.

"Just take the worst plan as the premise," Yan Yu suppressed his unkindness in the words, and raised his hand indifferently, signaling to the other party but saying it's okay.

Ye Xingfeng's eyes turned slightly, and the astonishment in his pupils changed into the usual free and easy manner.

What a person can bear is very limited, being too persistent will only lead him into an unknown and dangerous situation, if he wants to go on for a long time safely, he has to ignore some things and forget some things in a timely manner.

There is no such thing as good or bad, and you usually suffer by yourself.Ye Xingfeng is well aware of this principle, so he never crosses the line.

He seems to be loose, but he is actually a very measured person.

Ye Xingfeng thought about it for a while, raised his eyebrows, and said in his usual tone: "Your Highness doesn't have much advantage in this battle for succession, or in other words, other than the eldest prince, other people are more likely to win in this battle for succession." In the battle of the Inheritance, there is no advantage, and your actions are plainly grabbing food from the mouth of the hall. In such a situation, you have to put all your eggs in one basket to have a chance of surviving."

"Desperate...?" Yan Yu read these words silently, the expression between his eyes and brows was indistinguishable.

"Yes, I think His Highness is also very clear. If His Highness has received the correct information, then there are only two ways to successfully ascend to the throne. One is to forge the imperial edict from His Majesty's side, and the other is two." Ye Xingfeng sighed He was suffocated, but his face remained calm, and the tone of his mouth was also the same, "Start directly from His Royal Highness."

"How about Xingfeng?"

Ye Xingfeng thought for a while, and after careful consideration, he still expressed his thoughts unreservedly: "At the beginning, His Highness promised to marry the Southern clan, but two years have passed, and His Highness still hasn't fulfilled the promise. The Southern clan has complained about this matter. If you want to implement the former, then you must first marry the prince and concubine, but at present His Majesty Qidi's health is deteriorating, and His Highness refused to choose a concubine for this reason. The reason for fulfilling the promise to the southern clan, so Xingfeng thinks that it would be inappropriate for His Royal Highness to marry the princess and concubine at this time."

"So..." Yan Yu withdrew his gaze from lingering on the bamboo shoots, looked sideways at Ye Xingfeng, his eyes were cold and cold, his lips were pursed into a sharp straight line, and he didn't speak. It took a long time for the sound of the rain to intertwine with the sound of the wind, before Yan Yu continued, "You agree with the latter."

Ye Xingfeng nodded: "Soldiers are precious and fast, and the opportunity is always fleeting. With His Highness's current situation, if you are not sure at this time, you may fall short." Seeing the change in Yan Yu's face, Ye Xingfeng seemed to have not seen it, did not Half surprised, he thought about it carefully, and then said, "How can you get a tiger cub if you don't enter the tiger's den?"

Songtao bursts, dripping water, Yan Yu raised his legs and walked a few steps towards the pavilion, hands behind his back, but he still asked the question he originally wanted to ask, but Ye Xingfeng had already answered: "Are you too anxious?" some?"

Ye Xingfeng was startled, then startled, he subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Yan Yu's back, the other party was going to tell the decision in his heart through his counselor's mouth, he will settle the score in the future, I am afraid that he will bear the brunt of it.

However, although Ye Xingfeng already understood Yan Yu's intentions, his aura involuntarily ignited, and a three-point smile appeared before the corners of his lips curled up.

"I'm in a hurry, but the current situation is such that there is no way to relieve the emergency, so I have to hurry."

Since Huguang returned to Beijing, His Highness the Second Highness has been different from before. This difference from Ye Xingfeng is both fortunate and unfortunate.

Fortunately, it is because the ambition can be fully displayed.

It's unfortunate, but when the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden; the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackey is cooked.

Yan Yu was silent for a long time, and raised her hand to signal: "You step back first."

"Xingfeng resigns."

The drizzle is continuous, the breeze washes away, and the eyes are green. From a distance, it looks like a vast expanse of blue waves, with lush bamboos lining the road, and forest leaves rustling with the wind.

Yan Yu felt lonely and confused again, which even added a layer of lingering sadness.

Or maybe it wasn't bitterness, but something else.

In fact, he didn't know what mood he was in now, he hated Emperor Qi, hated him for delaying his mother's life and death, and blamed him for being indifferent to him.But even so, he still couldn't help yearning for him, longing for him, his father was undoubtedly the most outstanding person in this era, how could he be proud of being the Son of Man?

When Yan Yu heard the news, she felt only sadness in her heart. Even if the famous doctors from all over the world gathered in the imperial city, would it be impossible to recover?

But if this throne wasn't bestowed by him, what's the point of getting it?

The breeze brought a chill, and lifted the hair hanging down the shoulders, swept across the face, lost his eyes, Yan Yu raised his hand, and hooked the hair on the bottom.

His hands were fair, slender, and even a little elegant, but it was such hands that could decide the life and death of tens of thousands of people at will.

Yan Yu turned his head sideways, looking at this pair of killing hands. After a long time, the hesitation and hesitation in his eyes gradually faded away, replaced by firmness covered with a layer of chill.

Ten fingers together, this is the benefit of the power in the palm, standing above ten thousand people to decide the life and death of others.

Power is like a cup of poisoned wine, knowing that it is poisonous, but still drinking more and more drunk, until death.

If he is doomed to be lonely in this life, then at least let him stand on the pinnacle of imperial power that will cost him everything and make him lonely all his life.

☆、Fang Fei Wu Zen

A brand new day wakes up in the morning light, and the dawn is like gold.

The Fangfei Palace, which has always been peaceful and comfortable, was extremely busy in the early morning of this day. The palace people coming and going were cleaning the petals in the courtyard that were knocked down by the shower last night under the cherry blossoms. .

Today is the day when Master Wuchan of Huguo Temple was ordered to enter the palace to give lectures on Buddhism and scriptures for Concubine Ning.

The sky is blue and cloudy, and a bottle of new peaches on the window sill reflects the golden light in the morning light.

"It's been a long time since the Fangfei Palace has been so lively." Yao Lingyun stood by the window, casually fiddled with the peach blossom buds with his raised hand, but his eyes were turned inward, and fell on Yan who was putting the last touch on the memorial. Chen said, "In the past, my mother always went to Wuxiang Mountain to pay homage in person when autumn came. Why did she suddenly become interested in calling Master Wuchan into the palace to worship the Buddha?"

Not long after the morning court, Yan Chen and Yao Lingyun were discussing political affairs in the imperial study as usual.

After all matters were dealt with, Yao Lingyun changed the topic and expressed his doubts.

Yan Chen closed his pen and raised his head, looking in Yao Lingyun's direction. On the window lattice behind him, the shadows of trees dancing could be vaguely seen. People and scenery complement each other, forming a graceful painting.

Hesitation flashed through Yan Chen's heart, and in an instant, he made a decision.

She got up and took a few steps to stand beside the other party, raised her hand to touch the pink and tender peach petals, and said with a smile: "Mother and concubine has always been sincere and trustworthy. In recent years, there have been constant turmoil in the royal family. Perhaps this is to pray for the father and emperor."

Yao Lingyun nodded when he heard that, he thought so too.

He has always respected Ning Suqing. Before he was young and didn't know the world, he had already seen the purest true love in the world from her. Concubine Ning looked at all the princes with the same eyes, warm, tolerant, and wholehearted .

She is very simple, of course, this kind of simplicity does not refer to being ignorant of the world, but the clarity after a thorough understanding.In this imperial city, she is the purest one, consistent and determined.

Listening to the thunder in the silent place, seeing the prosperity in the colorless place, restraining the sharpness, returning to the basics, with such a mind, except for her, Yao Lingyun has never seen another person in this life.

"What are you thinking about?"

Yao Lingyun was smiling, and that smile revealed a taste of nostalgia, gentle warmth was revealed from the corners of his eyes and between the brows, Yan Chen's heart skipped a beat, and the hand that brushed the flowers couldn't help but lift up, caressing On Yao Lingyun's cheek.

Yao Lingyun was startled for a moment, but without brushing Yan Chen's hand away, he just raised his eyebrows and said casually, "Seeing how hard it is for you to deal with political affairs, let me show you a smile, won't you?"

Yan Chen was noncommittal.

Seeing that there was no reply, Yao Lingyun continued: "In this way, increase the proportion of happiness in your life, so that you will find that all the suffering and tiredness are just floating clouds."

The expressive and vivid eyebrows raised teasingly upwards, which was just as it should be, but it didn't make the viewers bored, but made Yan Chen's staring eyes rippling.

Yan Chen's fingers that were still resting on Yao Lingyun's cheek paused for a moment, then put them down, leaned forward, pasted them very familiarly and naturally, and kissed Yao Lingyun's cheek.

Yao Lingyun, who was attacked by surprise, blinked his eyes, as if he hadn't reacted, his eyes were dimly moist, and his pupils turned slightly, looking bright, it was really moving.

When Yan Chen saw it, he couldn't help but leaned down and kissed again. When he parted again, he looked relaxed and comfortable, with a faint smile, and said in a very serious manner, "If you bother so much, why not?" It's really hard to find Qing, should this prince repay you?"

"No need, no need, the salary of the eater is for you to share your worries, it should be, your highness is not polite." Yao Lingyun waved his hand, calmly, not surprised, upright, and then changed the subject, "Of course, if your highness insists on repaying, then the humble minister So we can only obey the order, how about gold ten thousand taels?"

"All the property in the prince's private treasury belongs to you."

"It seems that money and silver are nothing more than belongings to Your Highness. Repaying him with superfluous and useless things is an insult to His Highness. No, we have to change it."

It is impossible for Yao Lingyun who is too submissive to exist. The cunning rabbit has three holes, but the talented Yao Xun has no less than thirty holes in his mind, which is hard to guard against.

"That's it." Yan Chen pondered for a while, so he sighed helplessly, "Then everything is up to Xun Qing."

Even so, Yan Chen couldn't help but feel a little pampering in his tone.

People in the world often say that liking someone doesn't need a reason, but Yan Chen feels that he likes Yao Lingyun because of various reasons, which are innumerable.

"Your Highness." While the two were laughing, someone from the palace outside reported, "Aunt Yingzhu from Fangfei Palace is here to invite you."

Is it finally here?

This thought flashed in Yan Chen's mind, he turned around, walked to the center of the hall, and said: "Please."

The palace servant pushed the door open, Yingzhu stepped in, bowed and saluted: "I have seen Your Highness."

"Auntie, please get up." Yan Chen held his hand and said, "Mother and Concubine are talking with Master Wuchan, why did Auntie come here at this time?"

"It's the empress who asked the servants to invite His Highness." While speaking, Yingzhu turned her eyes slightly to look at Yao Lingyun behind, nodded her head as a signal, and said with a smile, "Go with Mr. Xun."

Yao Lingyun stepped forward when he heard the sound, and was about to say yes, but Yan Chen said: "Xunqing still has urgent matters to do, it is inconvenient to go away at this time, so let me go alone." At this point, Yan Chen looked sideways Yao Lingyun took a look.

Yao Lingyun was startled when he saw this, although he didn't understand the deep meaning, he shrugged his shoulders apologetically and expressed regret to Yingzhu.

"This..." Unexpectedly, Yingzhu hesitated for a moment.

Seeing that people were in trouble, Yao Lingyun smiled apologetically, and said: "It is really inconvenient to delay the affairs of the bureaucracy, so I ask my aunt to explain to the empress for Xun. When I have free time in the future, Xun will definitely go to the Fangfei Hall to apologize to the imperial concubine."

Yingzhu couldn't be too persistent when she heard the words, she also smiled and nodded: "Okay, I will tell the mother the truth." Although there was an accident, it was not out of control, Yingzhu turned her head to look at Yan Chen, and started palm reading Cited, "Your Highness, please?"

A counselor has no master and is useless.

As long as Yan Chen is restrained, only Yao Lingyun is alone, and he will not be successful.

"En." Yan Chen nodded, took one last look at Yao Lingyun, then turned to look at the table behind him, then turned and left.

Ah Chen why?While Yao Lingyun was puzzled, his heart felt uneasy.

A cloud suddenly appeared in the sky, blocking the fiery red sun and blocking the warm light of the sun sweeping down. As far as the eyes could see, it suddenly became dark and gloomy, just like Yao Lingyun's mood at this time, three autumns in a moment.

However, the clouds soon left with the wind.

The light dimmed, then brightened again.

The white ones are the avenues, the brown-red ones are the courtyard walls, and the dark gray ones are the tiles on the courtyard walls.

Yan Chen walked along the road, walked along the wall, and within a quarter of an hour passed through the palaces and arrived outside the Fangfei Hall, and at the gate of the Fangfei Hall came across a man who absolutely should not have appeared at this time. people here.

The second prince Yan Yu.

"Second brother?" Yan Chen was surprised for a moment.

However, the person who was more astonished was Ying Zhu standing behind Yan Chen.

How could the second prince appear here?

Where Yan Chen couldn't see, Ying Zhu questioned Yan Yu with her eyes.

Yan Yu's eyes fell on Yan Chen, swept over Yingzhu without any trace, bowed and saluted: "Brother."

Yan Chen raised his hand to help.

Yan Yu took advantage of the situation and got up, said with a smile: "It's the mother concubine who sent someone to announce that the three of us brothers will enter the palace for dinner together."

fourth brother.

Yan Chen instantly understood the cause of the antecedent, and his eyes darkened. The confusion and bewilderment that rolled up in his eyes disappeared before anyone noticed it, like a fallen spark without a trace. Yan Chen smiled and said, Said: "Then let's enter together."

Yan Yu nodded: "Yes."

Fourth Highness.

Yingzhu said silently in her heart, before she left Fangfei Palace to go to the Imperial Study Room to pay her respects, His Highness the Fourth Highness did not come to pay her respects, and she also waited until the other party's usual greeting time had passed before she paid her respects.
