In this life, I will drink the long wind

Raise it for a few days, so as not to worry about the mother and concubine. "

Yao Lingyun shrugged, but did not answer.

The fourth brother and Ah Xun are obviously good communicators on weekdays, but once they meet, all kinds of problems will arise, and they don't like each other, as if they were born at odds.

Seeing this, Yan Chen raised his lips, and there was a hint of interest in his usual modest and warm smile: "What? Are you unhappy?"

Knowing what the other party was thinking, Yao Lingyun gave him a sideways glance, and without being polite to him, raised his chin, and said confidently: "Yes, I am unhappy, Your Highness, you can figure it out."

Yan Chen let out a muffled laugh, and made a strange face in coordination: "I never imagined that Mr. Xun, who knew about Da Liming's accident, would be unhappy because of such a trivial matter. Hearing a thousand times is really worth seeing."

Yao Lingyun pretended to be strict, pointing fingers: "Even if you are upright and self-disciplined, but people are not grass, how can it be possible to be calm forever?"

The other party has always been clever and knowledgeable, and rarely showed such a lively and mischievous side. Yan Chen saw it in his eyes and warmed his heart. He stood up and hugged Yao Lingyun tightly in his arms, with a three-point laugh and a warm voice. Consolingly, he said: "Fourth brother has a childlike heart, so don't be more knowledgeable than him." After a slight pause, his voice was deliberately slowed down, revealing a low quality, "You are a sister-in-law."

Yao Lingyun felt that his cheeks were hot, and his face must be red. He couldn't help rubbing his head and buried his head deeper into Yan Chen's arms, and raised his hand to push Yan Chen angrily, and said dryly: " Let go, it's hot!"

Yan Chen's downcast eyes just landed on Yao Lingyun's slightly red earlobe, he loved him so much, he reluctantly said: "Then are you happy? I can only let you go when you are happy. "

Yao Lingyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "His Royal Highness, is it appropriate for you to play a rascal like this?"

Yan Chen was serious: "It's fun in the boudoir, what's wrong with it."

After a long silence, Yao Lingyun suddenly raised his hand to touch Yan Chen's shoulder, freed himself from the other's embrace, met his eyes, and then slowly faded a faint smile on his face, black and white clearly The eyes also lit up brightly, and he said slowly, "Well, I'm very happy."

A piece of imperial edict was handed down, so that the fourth prince Yan Xu, who was originally at ease in the mansion, had no choice but to enter the palace with the edict.

At dusk, the sun is setting and the evening wind is slightly intoxicating.

East Palace, side hall.

Yan Xu, who was standing by the window, was looking up at the last ray of light in the distant sky being swallowed up by the twilight.

As night fell, the humidity in the air increased, making the already somewhat cold palace even more lonely.

And Yan Chen stepped into the side hall at this time when light and darkness met. He looked at Yan Xu standing by the window and the slightly thin clothes on his body, he couldn't help frowning, and stepped forward and said: " Standing by the window to blow the air when you are not feeling well, is it because you want to get sicker?"

"Brother." Yan Xu turned his head when he heard the sound, the joy in his eyes almost overflowed, but he did not forget the etiquette, he bowed to salute, and when he looked up again, there was a beautiful smile on his face, and the corners of his lips were lifted up, The corners of his eyes rolled down, some joy and some complaints, "Well, it's hard to be sick, I don't want to get sicker."

Yan Chen patted his shoulder with a smile.

During the conversation, Yan Xu sucked his nose continuously to show that he was quite uncomfortable and dissatisfied with the current situation. He paused for a while, and then said: "Besides, it's not that you are not good, brother, I want to I don’t give you tea, and I don’t give you wine, so your poor brother, I can only drink the Northwest Wind by the window, and then I can match it with these nondescript bamboos in front of the window.”

Yan Chen took advantage of the situation and looked out the window, a smile appeared unconsciously in his eyes, the few bamboos in the yard were planted by Ah Xun himself when he was young.At that time, he and himself had only known each other for three years, and they were clearly only half-grown children, but for some reason there was always endless talk every day, and they were always in focus, even at night, they did not want to separate. Every time we say goodbye.

If things go on like this, Ning Guifei simply allows the other party to stay in the palace, in another room in this courtyard.

What did Ah Xun say at that time?

You can't live without bamboo.

So he planted a row of bamboos in the yard in a daze, and only a few survived in the end, scattered and nondescript, but he was reluctant to move them all the time, so he just left them like this.

"You still want to drink when you're sick?" Yan Chen only lost his mind for a moment, then came back, stepped forward, led Yan Xu away from the window and sat down indoors, "I should announce you to the palace earlier, so that you won't be in my house Nonsense."

Yan Xu stuck out her tongue: "Brother, you've wronged me, I didn't mess around, I'm so good, I'm the imperial physician who I volunteered to announce."

Knowing his temperament, Yan Chen didn't say much, but nodded to the leading eunuch chief.Following the attendants, the chief eunuch who silently ordered the palace servants behind to close the wide-open windows waved his hand, and the palace attendants waiting outside filed in and served the dinner one by one.

There are not many types of food served, and the color is also very light.

"Although it is not a serious illness, after these few days of recuperation, your body is almost recovered, but just in case, today's meal should be light, and you will make do with it." Although the Daxiang royal family The eastern capital made a fortune, but his ancestors were from the south, so most of the royal family are fond of sweets, and the taste is mainly light, even Concubine Ning Guifei is the same, but Yan Xu is a special case, he has a strong taste since childhood, and he has no spicy Unhappy, is an unscrupulous salty party.

Looking at Yan Xu's face that was suffering at a speed visible to the naked eye, Yan Chen couldn't help laughing and said: "When you are completely cured, brother will accompany you to have a meal of Sichuan cuisine."

Yan Xu glanced at him, then nodded reluctantly.

But in fact, Yan Xu was not embarrassed at all, but very happy.If Yan Chen hadn't tried his best to protect the turmoil when he was young, Yan Xu might have disappeared in this world long ago.

The big brother who was only half a head taller than him back then, the big brother who resolutely stood in front of him in front of the rebels, over the years, Yan Xu never forgot.

Those emotions that go beyond Gangchang ethics slowly grow and ferment in Yan Xu's heart.

He thought about letting it go and letting these feelings disappear in the torrent of time.

But how can everything in this world be according to people's wishes?

Especially in love, all kindness and righteousness can be repaid, but liking cannot be repaid; all kindness and righteousness can be broken, but likewise cannot be broken.

He can't.

For him, time has become the best medicine in the world. The initial heartbeat has long since disappeared in the precipitation of time, and love has lost its original vigor and turned into an unforgettable forbearance.

But because they are brothers, and because of the taboo of this blood relationship, he can only look into the distance forever.

He is also ready for a lifetime of unrequited love.

However, there is another Yao Xun in this world.

It's also against the rules and regulations, and it's also not tolerated by the world. Why can Yao Xun be able to do it, but not himself?

Is it because of this blood relationship?

The existence of Yao Lingyun is like a thorn, which has been lying in Yan Xu's heart and cannot be removed, which makes him unwilling.

But no matter how unwilling and resentful, Yan Xu still clearly understands that he and Yao Xun are different after all, if there is no such blood relationship, how could Yan Chen protect him so desperately back then.

Yan Chen personally experienced the tragedy that shocked the world, and at that time, Yan Xu had not yet been born.

In 775 of the old calendar, at that time, Yanchen was only 4 years old. The Qidi Yanzhan army, who had not yet officially proclaimed himself emperor, was mighty and victorious. The southwest branch of the largest force is on the verge of collapse.And no one thought that the desperate southwest royal family would be so devoid of humanity. They sent dead men to sneak into the eastern capital, using human bodies as ammunition, and blew up the temporary palace at that time in Daxiang. The Yan-style royal family withered that night. Emperor Qi himself and Ning Wang Yanxiao and Yanchen who were fighting abroad were the only survivors of the turmoil.

He was protected by his elder brothers desperately, so Yan Chen paid special attention to brotherhood from then on.

Eat without saying anything, this is the etiquette of the Tian family.

For a meal, the two ate almost silently.

After dinner, the two brothers warmed up some rice wine and sat down for a drink.

Rice wine is warm in nature, and the alcohol content is not high. Drinking some at night will help you sleep.

Yan Xu took a sip of wine, put down his glass, stared at Yan Chen, said with a little deliberation: "Brother, I've been reading the Analects recently, and I don't quite understand what it says about the way of a gentleman."

Yan Chen raised his eyes to look at him, and said indifferently: "If you have anything to ask, just ask, beat around the bush, it's not like you."

"It's what the father said, brother, you are a gentleman with kindness, wisdom and compassion, so I don't expect you to give me an answer." Yan Xu smiled, then lowered his expression, and said solemnly, "The book is It is said that a gentleman should be benevolent, courteous, and put others before himself, is that true?"

The light flickered, then brightened again, and it was a small explosion of a lantern flower.

Yan Chen nodded in agreement when he heard the words, and after a short pause, he added: "But benevolence also needs to be measured. The so-called putting others before oneself should be combined with the actual environment. First, why does fourth brother ask this question?"

Listening to his words, Yan Xu didn't care at all, but there was still a smile on his face, which didn't show at all.

Seeing that the topic had started, Yan Xu avoided the other party's question without any trace, without any shyness, he generously put a top hat on Yan Chen: "Brother, you are right, I think so too, books are dead , but people are alive, how can everything be done according to the script.”

Yan Chen looked at him, noncommittal.

Yan Xu blinked, dragged his cheeks with both hands and moved a little closer to Yan Chen, with a flattering smile all over his eyes and face: "So big brother, can you ask mother and concubine to send Master Shen away, he is here every day I was nagging so loudly in my ears that my head hurt when I heard it."

"So you paid attention to this." Yan Chen raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Mother and Concubine is also for your own good, and what Mr. Shen said is not unreasonable. Books are the crystallization of the experience and wisdom of the ancestors. If you can’t even read the books thoroughly, how can you talk about using them flexibly, let alone getting twice the result with half the effort, fourth brother, you can study the books first, then practice, and finally verify for yourself whether the knowledge in the books is just empty talk.”

Yan Xu looked unconvinced: "Brother, you and your second brother don't need teachers to teach you after your hair is tied. I already have my own mansion, and my mother and concubine specially invited a teacher to come to teach. How shameless I am." ah."

"Who said I don't need to be taught by my master after I tie my hair?" Yan Chen asked back, "Axu, there is no end to learning. Even now, I still need the guidance of the elders and the support of those who are able. Can be a modest gentleman, safe and smooth, Ankang I, of course I am the same."

Yan Xu's heart warmed when he heard the words of Ankang, but with the support of the capable person that the other party said, Yan Xu naturally thought of Yao Lingyun who was always by his side. The chest is piled up, like a stick in the throat.

After a long silence, Yan Xu still endured the pain and swallowed his disappointment.

Without the ability, the status quo cannot be changed. From the moment the plan started, he had already made a choice.But this time calling him sick was completely different from the past. He didn't come here to attract the other party's attention, not to grieve the spring and hurt the autumn. He came here to achieve his goal.

The expression on his face was still not angry, Yan Xu frowned, acting like an ignorant teenager who thought he was being bullied, and argued with reason: "So what's the difference, your teacher at that time was hired by yourself, and the study is also the same. If I want to, it’s not like me. Master Shen always complains to his concubine and uncle, I don’t like him, I don’t want him! I want to find a teacher myself!”

When every younger brother reaches a certain age, he will subconsciously compare himself with his father and brother, and hope that he can be as powerful as the elder brother in his own eyes, or even more powerful than the elder brother in his own eyes.

Why don't you just try to grow up, advance side by side, and surpass. Generation after generation of people have grown up in such a comparison, which has created the prosperous scene of Daxiang today.

Yan Chen felt emotional in his heart, but he still exhorted: "Mr. Shen is not just a teacher, he is the most trusted person of mother concubine and your uncle, and it is not just that they arrange Mr. Shen by your side. For the sake of preaching and teaching you, and more importantly, for protecting your safety, you know this very well, fourth brother, don't be willful."

Yan Xu lowered his head when he heard the words, and suddenly he felt sleepy. He looked listless, and after a while he raised his face again, and said to Yan Chen: "I know, but I am no longer a big brother. I am a child, what my mother and concubine did, and as a son, I have no right to comment. I understand the essence of the books that Mr. Shen taught on weekdays. It's something else."

Yan Xu stared at Yan Chen, the childishness between his brows was completely replaced by the will to yearn for the future, his eyes were black and white, clear as a mirror.

"I want to personally understand this era through my own eyes, to understand the importance of a person, an event, or even a flower, instead of being told directly by others, saying that it is so, so it is."

Yan Chen's handsome and extraordinary face was completely reflected in the depths of Yan Xu's eyes without any cover.

How long has it been since he faced each other face to face like this, looking at each other without any scruples?Yan Xu couldn't remember.

When I was young, because of a turmoil, the little obsession that secretly grew in the depths of my heart was nourished by flesh and blood as early as inadvertently, breaking through the soil of my heart, sprouting and rooting, and slowly growing new branches and leaves. One by one, one by one, they have been entangled with my entire teenage years. Up to now, those high-sounding attachments have been unknowingly connected with the muscles, bones and blood vessels, and cannot be removed.

What Yao Lingyun can do, so can I.

Yan Xu believed that maybe he had struggled before, but from the moment he entered the game, he made up his mind and stopped struggling and hesitating.

Since there is no place for me by your side, then I will climb to the top and dominate your future.

Roads are originally made by people. Those who have never seen the light of day and are regarded as scourges by the world have never worked hard to fight for them. How do you know that the future is still unfeasible?So even if the road ahead is blocked by thorns, he will not give up. The so-called second best is just another high-sounding way of escaping. Knowing what is impossible and not doing it will never be Yan Xu's choice.

"My concubine's choice may be the most suitable path for me, but the so-called shortcut may not be the clear path. Maybe a detour is the only way to see the vastness of the world. I want to witness with my own eyes the great land laid down by the emperor." Guotu, I want to do my best for the world and the people just like you, big brother." Yan Xu suppressed his thoughts, his big eyes shone with brilliance, like a child who doesn't know much about the world, full of expectations for this world, "I belong to the royal family of Daxiang, a man surnamed Yan, born in the world, just like the father and elder brother, with the common people in mind, and the world, well, although I am not as good as you, big brother, but I can help you, Just like the second brother and the other royal relatives with the Yan surname, why can everyone do it, but I can’t?"

The tone at the beginning was fascinated, and as he talked, he gradually fell down, and finally paused with some discomfort and annoyance.

Yan Xu's remarks were very well grasped, so Yan Chen agreed very much that the Daxiang Dynasty came out of the Jianghu, no matter in concept or style, it still retained the unique uninhibited and chivalrous spirit of the people in the Jianghu. The eldest prince Yan Chen, who is the most orthodox royal demeanor in Emperor Qi's mouth, is no different.

In Yanchen's view, life is the same no matter whether you are a prince or a peddler, you have to work hard to live, and you have to try your best to live a brilliant life, so that this can be regarded as a worthy experience in this world.Of course, when the brilliance is exhausted, if you can use your own faint radiance to illuminate the way for those who come after you to move forward, that will be the icing on the cake.

But this is just Yan Chen's own thoughts, he knows very well the reason for all kinds of restrictions on A Xu by Concubine Ning Gui.The actions of the previous generation have a huge and indelible impact on this generation, so Ning Guifei hopes that Ziye's life will be ordinary and not involved in imperial power.

Only being ordinary can be extraordinary, Concubine Ning Guifei just hopes that Axu can be an extraordinary ordinary person.Therefore, she worked hard, intending to exclude the fourth brother from the rights, and nip in the bud all the uncertain factors that might affect him in the future, but how could this be fair to the fourth brother?

Tonight, looking at Yan Xu like this, Yan Chen suddenly blamed himself. After all, he never raised any objection to his mother's concubine's decision, after all, he didn't defend Axu in the slightest in front of his mother's concubine, and let the situation develop to this point.

Yan Chen wavered between self-blame and hesitation for a while, and then said to Yan Xu: "Then who do you want to be your teacher?"

Knowing that the other party's words meant that his heart was loosened, Yan Xu's eyes lit up, and he smiled slightly with narrowed eyes. The smile was clear and clear, without haze: "As long as it's not Shen Qian, it's fine! I'm not very clear about the people in the dynasty. , I’ll trouble you to recommend a few, and I’ll pick the ones I like.”

Feeling Yan Xu's uncontrollable joy, Yan Chen also smiled, and after hearing what the other party said, in the end, he just didn't want to be controlled.

After all, it's just a child's heart, the last trace of hesitation in Yan Chen's heart disappeared, and he said with a smile: "Then I will find time to mention this to my concubine someday."

Yan Xu got up slightly, approached Yan Chen with his hands on the table, and bargained: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose a date, so don't change the date, brother, let's do it tomorrow, shall we?"

Yan Chen laughed: "You don't like Mr. Shen that much?"

"Of course not. All these years, being caught between me and my concubine, I have worked hard for Mr. Shen. I am here to help him get rid of it earlier." Yan Xu, who really didn't want to see Shen Qian's face again when he returned home, opened his mouth. Dayton nonsense.

Yan Chen: "Aren't you worried that the teacher I found for you is more verbose than Mr. Shen?"

"Of course not!" Yan Xu leaned back and sat back, leaning on his right hand on the table, turned upside down, turned to touch the table with his ribs, put up one hand, leaned his head on the palm, and looked a little lazy , casually, but his eyes were extremely serious, and the tone of his mouth was full of trust: "I believe in big brother the most!"

☆, watching the fire from the other side Yan's second child

Zongzheng Shaoqing Li Qing, Daxiang's first new champion.

Lin You of the household department, one of the founding courtiers of Daxiang.

Yushitai Wei Shuhua, the number one scholar in the eighth year of Daxiang.

Qin Xiangjun of Zhongshu Province, Tanhualang of Daxiang for 11 years.

"These people are all court officials, and they have been in office for a long time. Although they are not important ministers, they are all important ministers. The most important thing is that none of these people belong to any of the three forces. It really took a lot of pains to recruit these people to be your teachers."

The sun was setting to the west, the sky was getting dark, and the faint yellow candle was lit at some point.

Li Qing was holding a piece of rice paper with several people's names written on it in his hand, and his eyes fell on the fourth prince Yan Xu who was sitting opposite him, and said with a smile: "Then, your highness, which one do you want to choose? I ?"

Yan Xu glanced at Li Qing, chuckled lightly, raised his hand to take the rice paper in his hand, and placed it on the table between the two of them, pointing his index finger at the name of one of them.

"Qin Xiangjun, a Tanhua Lang in Daxiang for 11 years, won the exam until the fourth or sixth year, and was Tanhua in high school the next year."

Li Qing knew what the other party wanted after hearing the words.

But even though he was known to be thoughtful, he still couldn't help but be surprised right now.

Looking up, looking at the slightly curved mouth and innocent face of the other party, Li Qing couldn't help trembling again. The four princes in front of him had deeper scheming than he imagined, and they acted swiftly and resolutely. Just do it as soon as you mention it, the matter of eyes and ears in the mansion that was mentioned in the last conversation, but half a month later, he removed them all.The process was still handled by the First Prince, which made it impossible to find fault with doubts. If he hadn't been on the same boat with him, he would not have doubted that he also coveted the throne.

"Huh?" After a long time without Li Qing's response, Yan Xu couldn't help humming, looked up, and said, "You don't think it's right?"

Li Qing came back to his senses and shook his head: "No, this is the most suitable candidate. Daxiang was 11 years old, and Qin Xiangjun was nearly fifty years old. Although he was in high school, the court did not arrange for him due to his age. For a suitable position, he was only transferred to Zhongshu Sheng to stay there, although Zhongshu Ling is an important position in the court, but it is not where Mr. Xiang wants to go."

Yan Xu frowned: "Oh, you know?"

Li Qing smiled calmly, calmly and composedly: "Although Mr. Xiang doesn't often have much contact with people in the court in private, but I and he belong to the nobles of the court. Compared with others, we naturally have more contacts. As far as I know, Xiang Da was born on the bank of the Yellow River, and he has a lot of experience in water control. At that time, he lost his reputation several times, but he regrouped again and again, in order to enter the Ministry of Industry after high school, and then reorganize the Yellow River Basin, so as to solve the problems that the people in the area have to face every spring and summer. The suffering of flooding."

At this point in the words, Li Qing paused, and admiration suddenly appeared on his calm and calm face: "The purpose of ten years of hard work is not only for success and fame, but also for the well-being of the country and the people. Because of his age, His Majesty Emperor Qi only arranged for him a relatively easy position. When the First Prince first took charge of the government, Lord Xiang also made an announcement, but His Highness also rejected it." Li Qing sighed softly, feeling very sorry , "If you have the ambition to rule the world, but you don't have a stage to show it, Mr. Xiang must be unwilling."

People live in the world, each has his own persistence, and the reason why principles are so precious is that there are people in this world who persist at all costs.

Yan Xu was also moved, but he didn't express it, just nodded: "Well, that's him."

Li Qing stared sideways at Yan Xu for a while, then looked away, looked at the rice paper with his name written on it in front of him, and asked with a casual smile: "If you promise, will your Highness really promise when it comes to fruition?"

Li Qing still had a smile on his face, the flickering candlelight cast a deep shadow on his face, he looked up again, and just looked at Yan Xu quietly, the laughter faded from his penetrating eyes, like the sharp edge of a knife .

"Your Highness, aren't you worried that Mr. Xiang will have an accident because of his age?"

Seeing his face and hearing his words, Yan Xu didn't mind, raised his brows lightly, smiled peacefully, and raised his eyes openly to meet his gaze.

"I'm a little worried, but so what?" With drooping eyes, he raised his hand to pick up the teacup on the table and looked at it carefully, his expression was a little lazy because of his laxity, "Everyone has his own ambition, this is Mr. Xiang's own insistence, All you and I can do is to make things perfect, even if it ends up being the worst outcome, if you can die for what you want in your heart, this life is not in vain.”

"Okay." Li Qing slapped his thigh fiercely, and said, "It's good to say that everyone has his own aspirations. For this sentence, you and I will drink this cup, Your Highness please."

After finishing speaking, Li Qing should act first as a respect.

……

Yan Xu was speechless for a while, and he hesitated to speak for a long time before saying: "Lord Li, this is tea."

Li Qing raised his eyebrows: "Wouldn't it be more elegant to replace wine with tea?"

Yan Xu looked happy and took a sip of the teacup that was still in his hand.

After a long time, Li Qing said with some emotion: "Great character, Mr. Xiang is a person worthy of respect."

"Who isn't." Looking at the names of the people on the rice paper, Yan Xu said casually, but his heart felt sour.

This was the result he expected a long time ago, if Yan Chen came forward to intercede, the concubine mother and uncle would naturally not object.

And his eldest brother is a gentleman, and a modest gentleman will not take the opportunity to stuff his own people beside him.Other people, let alone not, so the candidate selected by Yan Chen must be an absolute neutral in this struggle for succession.

So-called neutrality adapts to the circumstances, especially in politics.For politicians, there will never be an absolutely stable position in this world, only whether the rights and interests are properly distributed.

The so-called rights and interests can be fame, profit, or the desire to benefit the world and the people.

Everyone will have what they want, of course, it's hard to say something straight like Zhao Ming, the censor, and it doesn't count.

Yan Xu racked his brains, tried every means, and finally created a favorable situation in front of him, but he still missed a little bit after all his calculations.

Also.

How can one person count all the things in the world.

In Fangfei Hall at the same time.

Concubine Ning Gui was listening carefully to the palace servants' report.

"Shen Qian has already left?"

"Yes ma'am, the slave has sent someone to pass it on, and it seems to be coming soon."

Concubine Ning heard the words, she didn't say anything for a long time, she walked to the window to look out, the moon was in the middle of the sky, and the pure brilliance shrouded many palaces, this palace is also different from the original one.

But it is the same as the imperial palace that I heard in the story books when I was a teenager, luxurious, solemn, and cold.

Brother Chong, since you left, everything around me has changed.

Over the years, like water flowing through your fingertips, it slides silently. People are not old, but their hearts are old.

Thinking about the past, Ning Guifei couldn't help but smile wryly.

"Yakura, do you think it's right for me to do this?"

The maidservant in the room, that is, the Yingzhu in the mouth of Concubine Ning sighed softly, and said: "My maid knows that you are thinking of the Fourth Highness, but your Majesty, the Fourth Highness is not after all... There is really no need for you to be so defensive."

"Axu is so similar to him, I have to guard against it." Ning Guifei still looked out of the window, her voice was low, exhaling like blue, and her voice was like a dream: "Your Majesty treats me, the Ning family, and even the Shen family. He is also kind to Axu, which is owed by our mother and son, so whether it is me or Axu, we have no right to take away anything that belongs to Yan."

"Your Majesty, you..." Yingzhu wanted to persuade her again, but the knock on the door came from outside the house.

Yingzhu stepped forward to open the door, led the people outside the house in, and retreated by herself.

The person entering the room took off his hood and bowed to Concubine Ning Gui.

Concubine Ning turned around from the window, her eyebrows were full, as if the mountains and rivers were blurred, she asked softly: "What are your plans in the future? Stay in the capital, or go back to Sichuan."

"Naturally go back to Xiangfu." Shen Qian smiled and said: "He is the only blood of my Shen family up to this generation, how can I ignore it."

Concubine Ning didn't say anything, she just blinked.

Shen Qian didn't intend to listen to her comments on this, and continued: "Zongzhengsi Li Qing, Hubu Linyou, Yushitai Wei Shuhua, Zhongshusheng Qin Xiangjun, these are all Qingliu in the court and do not belong to any of the factions. , Your Highness has a heart this time."

Ning Guifei has lived in the deep palace for a long time, she is so shrewd, she naturally understands the meaning of the other party's words.

Yan Xu gave Yan Chen the right to choose a teacher, but Yan Chen did not take the opportunity to arrange for his own people to go to A Xu's side, which shows that he really does not want A Xu to be involved in this vortex of winning the heir apparent, he really treats him well of.

Yan Chen's various performances are just like the night wind at the end of summer, wearing Lin Du Ye Furen's clothes, very pleasant.

Concubine Ning sighed softly, and said quietly: "Let brother enter the palace, it's time for us Ning to make a choice."

In the early morning, a fast horse galloped into Beijing from the northwest direction, bringing with it a letter urgently handed over by King Ning Yanxiao, and dropped another pebble into the ever-changing court situation.

Everyone is watching.

The elms and willows live in the sun, the sunset shines in the sunset, the lone cicadas have dispersed, and the birds go in a row.

The beautiful scenery that is rarely seen in ancient books is very common in the second prince's mansion, which is carved with jade railings, shaded by green leaves, and full of pavilions and attics.

The attic is next to the water, surrounded by lotus ponds on all sides, and the surroundings are as clear as a wash, and the bright red bridge fence hidden in it is more eye-catching than the lotus flowers.

The two men in the attic stood and sat one at a time.

The person standing there was none other than Ye Xingfeng, the handsome scholar Yao Lingyun met in Wanghualou a few days ago.

"I haven't returned for a few days now, and the situation in the court has turned upside down. Not long ago, His Royal Highness Ning Wang, who stood out from the three, became the first bird in just a few days?" Ye Xingfeng Hooking his lips and laughing, he said with emotion, "It's really a big show."

And the person sitting there is the owner of the mansion, Yan Yu, the Second Prince of Daxiang.

Yan Yu's appearance is quite handsome and delicate, and his eyebrows and eyes are slightly similar to that of the eldest prince Yan Chen. He has a green jade finger on the thumb of his left hand all the year round. At this time, he is carefully playing with the Pulling his fingers, he raised his eyebrows after hearing Ye Xingfeng's words, and said, "I just don't know how this play will end."

Ye Xingfeng picked up a jug of wine from the table, raised his head and took a big gulp as if there was no one else around, and said with a smile: "What? The Second Highness is planning to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight?"

"I don't have this chance anymore, I'm afraid this fire will burn on me soon." Yan Yu knew the other party's habits, and was too lazy to entangle with the counselors under his sect on these details, turning a blind eye to Ye Xingfeng's unruly attitude and said: "Right now, the courtiers are secretly speculating that it is the servant Yan who is plotted by the prince behind his back."

When Ye Xingfeng heard about it, he nodded seriously: "Both the First Prince and King Ning will suffer losses, and the one who will benefit in the end will be the Second Highness, you. It's a natural idea, logical, and makes sense."

Yan Yu: "Then according to Xingfeng, who is the one who is messing with the situation behind this?"

Ye Xingfeng smiled casually, and did not answer this question directly, but said: "The first prince's move is very subtle, and the advantage of King Ning's triumphant return this time is gone. As for the follow-up development, if we deal with it Properly, it is bound to have a certain impact on your highness' reputation, reputation, but your highness is the biggest bargaining chip that you can compete with the first prince and King Ning at the moment."

Yan Yu heard this, thought it over for a while, shook his head, and said: "Brother has always been open-minded, it is impossible to come up with such a method, this should be Yao Xun's idea, in the court hall a few days ago, it was the bestowment proposed by Prime Minister Right Uncle Wang's fiefdom, this idea was carefully calculated by their father and son."

Yao Xun, two words fulfill the yearning of all scholars in the world.

Ye Xingfeng is also the same, but different.

Ye Xingfeng is just like his name, although he is arrogant in the invisible, but in his bones he is unrestrained and unrestrained. Such a person will never just admire someone purely.

"As expected of Mr. Xun, this move shows the ability to draw salary from the bottom of the pot, and make up for the deficiency with his own surplus. He is truly thoughtful and resourceful. He is worthy of being the number one talented person in the world personally sealed by His Majesty Qi Emperor."

"Piao Piao has the aura of Lingyun, like wandering around the world. This is the praise of the father to Yao Xun. That's why the father bestowed the word Lingyun on Yao Xun." Yan Yu smiled, The corners of the mouth are raised, but the chaos in the eyes is difficult to analyze, "It can be seen that even though the father has the talent of the world, there are times when he is inaccurate in judging people."

Ye Xingfeng, who was drinking, spit out a sip of wine immediately after hearing the words, coughed for a long time before recovering his voice and said, "Your Highness, what did you just say? Ling Yun, Yao Lingyun is Yao Xun?"

Yan Yu didn't understand why the other party reacted so suddenly, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

"...I met this Yao Lingyun a few days ago." Ye Xingfeng blinked, but he was a little unexpected when he first heard about it. Yes, the other party claims to be from a pedantic scholarly family, and he is not a descendant of the family..." Ye Xingfeng recalled what the other party said that day. Although Yao Lingyun vaguely meant something, he never made it clear from the beginning to the end. It was just a guess between myself and the other three, ha, I was misled, Ye Xingfeng suddenly laughed, with undisguised expectation in his eyes and said, "Interesting."

The scientific examination is coming soon, Yao Xun will try his best to get in touch with the scientific examination students in order to recruit talents for his elder brother.

Yan Yu was curious, and did not hide her curiosity, and asked, "What does Xingfeng think of this person?"

Ye Xingfeng thought about it for a while, and said, "People who cannot be ignored."

Unexpected answer, Yan Yu tapped his index finger on the table and paused, then tapped again unhurriedly: "Oh? This prince still remembers that Xingfeng was not only curious about Yao Xun, but also Most of them are disdainful, and I am very curious to have such praise after only seeing each other, you guys
