In this life, I will drink the long wind

Standing up, straightening his clothes, putting his hands behind his back, he regained his calm and orderly demeanor.

"To achieve something, especially a big thing, one person is often not enough. This world needs the hard work and support of all of us to move forward steadily. Therefore, we who survive in this world must not only learn to find and distinguish companions, but also Learn to teach and cultivate For future generations, success does not have to depend on oneself, if we stick to our own obsessions and do everything by ourselves, we will certainly not be able to go further, we must learn to entrust our trust, and try to entrust it behind us.”

"Master Xiang is tireless, and his original intention has remained the same for many years. This kind of persistence is very comparable to others, so it is even more necessary for others to warn and subtly influence it." After a pause, Yao Lingyun smiled, "It is easier to give up when you are old. Your Highness, you have a long way to go."

"It's okay to have Xun Qing as your company." Yan Chen looked at him and smiled.

After finishing speaking, Yan Chen raised his voice to call the palace servants outside the door to deliver charcoal stove and set up tea.

Yao Lingyun went in without knowing it, and was about to ask, when he heard a little eunuch outside the door saying: "Your Highness, Master Xiang has arrived."

Yan Chen took the main seat on the east side, and said, "Quickly please."

Qin Xiangjun entered the house and bowed down.

"My minister sees Your Highness."

"My lord, you don't need to be too polite. Please stand up and sit down." Yan Chen raised his hand to support him, and pointed to the warm seat in front of him.

Seeing this, Yao Lingyun immediately stepped forward, intending to help Qin Xiangjun get up, but Qin Xiangjun waved his hand and refused.

Standing up and taking his seat, Qin Xiangjun's face remained the same, and his emotions were not the slightest bit different. He calmly said, "I don't know what's important for your Highness to call the officials here today?"

Yan Chen and Yao Lingyun glanced at each other silently, since Mr. Xiang's persistent and stubborn personality shouldn't be such a reaction.After deliberating for a moment, Yan Chen said: "About yesterday's court incident, my prince understands your lord's desire to plead for the people, but after all, your lord is already in the age of knowing his fate, so it is really inconvenient for him to travel around."

After Qin Xiangjun heard the words, he was silent for a long time, and after a while, he got up and bowed, and said: "I understand what your Highness means, it was because I was stubborn before, after talking with Prime Minister Right yesterday, I suddenly realized that what he said was right, Success does not depend on oneself."

"It's best for adults to think like this." Yan Chen didn't expect that the other party had figured it out, he was stunned for a moment, smiled, nodded, and motioned for the other party to sit down again.

For a while, neither of them spoke.

Time moves silently.

Yao Lingyun, who was good at adjusting the atmosphere, took a step forward, poured two cups of tea, pushed them to the two of them one after another, and said with a smile: "I didn't see Mr. Xiang in Chaoshang a few days ago, and I heard from my colleagues that my lord was in poor health at that time. Chi, at that time, when Xun first entered the officialdom, he still didn't know much about many things, so he didn't go to visit him in person, I don't know if your lord is okay now?"

"It's all minor ailments that don't hinder anything. I'm worried about Mr. Xun." The fine Pu'er tea was poured into the throat to moisten the lungs and warm the stomach. Qin Xiangjun smiled, turned his head and said to Yanchen, " Originally, Wei Chen was thinking that after the spring, I would invite His Royal Highness to visit the water conservancy near the capital. After all, those were personally supervised by His Majesty, but now it seems that there is no need for it. It's time to let go and hand it over to the young people."

Yan Chen was deeply relieved to hear people's remarks, and said with a smile: "My lord can think like this, it would be great."

The energy contained in sincere concern is infinite. The person who speaks may not feel it, but the heart of the listener is full of feelings.

Caring for people can make people feel good.

Qin Xiangjun was stunned for a while because of this, but...

Thinking about the decision he had already made, Qin Xiangjun sighed in his heart, and said, "Fortunately, Your Highness has found a good student for my minister, so that I can still have things to do while in government. It's just that although the Fourth Highness is quick-witted and intelligent, in the end Not much experience, poor quality."

Listening to his mention of Yan Xu's temperament, Yan Chen nodded in agreement: "The fourth brother has always been condescending and arrogant, rebellious and rebellious, sir, please worry about it."

"Your Majesty's words, the old minister is terrified." Qin Xiangjun was about to get up to confess his crime when he heard the words, but was suppressed by Yan Chen's raised hand.

Qin Xiangjun took advantage of the situation and sat back, after thinking for a while, he still leaned forward and stood up, saying: "Your Majesty the Fourth Highness is the proud son of heaven, and he has all kinds of talents and strategies. The only thing he lacks at present is tempering. I intend to lead him into the Zhongshu Province." Study daily affairs to hone your mind, and I hope His Highness will grant you."

Yan Chen didn't want the other party to have such an invitation, so he didn't reply immediately. After thinking about it, he smiled and said: "Axu is about to reach the age of weak crown, but he doesn't have a clear position in the court. He only has an audience seat. I was negligent, if adults want to teach, it would be great."

Qin Xiangjun bowed and bowed: "The minister will thank His Highness in advance on behalf of his students."

Yan Chen said: "That's my little brother too, my lord is serious."

Qin Xiangjun: "If there is no other important matter, I will leave first."

Yan Chen nodded.

Yao Lingyun watched Qin Xiangjun's leaving back for a long time, thoughtfully.

Yan Chen called him several times, but he was not answered, so he simply raised his hand to grab his wrist, pulled it inward, and the two of them embraced him.

"how?"

Yao Lingyun moved around in his arms, found a comfortable place to nestle in, and said thoughtfully, "Don't you think Mr. Qin is very different today?"

Yan Chen nodded: "Naturally, but this is a good thing."

"Is it really a good thing?" Yao Lingyun muttered to himself with a deep expression.

"The wise man hurts so much, you, don't always think too much." Yan Chen raised his hand and twisted his cheek, and said, "Suddenly letting go of the burden that has been hanging in his heart, Mr. Qin is naturally at a loss, so he turned his eyes , it is not inappropriate to focus on his students."

Yao Lingyun nodded to show that it was indeed so.

But he was still uneasy, from the moment Shi Lang presented the memorial, he always had the feeling of being watched, as if a pair of invisible hands were controlling the government and the public.

I wish I had thought too much.

☆, chaos on top of chaos

When I put down the book in my hand and raised my eyes, it was already the time when the sun was setting and the moon was rising.

Yan Xu stretched a little, got up, stepped out of the door, and waved to the palace servants waiting outside not to follow.

In recent days, Yan Xu has been staying in the Yuanhe side hall, helping the eldest prince deal with the follow-up of the Huguang flood and other matters.After this battle, he seemed to have grown up suddenly. Although he was not very proficient in handling government affairs, he went out early and returned late every day, humbly seeking advice and learning. The youngest prince in Daxiang finally began to have the responsibility of pleading for the world and the people. Heart, all the officials are pleased to see it.

Yan Xu stepped out of the main hall, and as soon as he stepped out of the palace gate, the moonlight had just reached the eyes of the people, and the fine wind and the bright moonlight rushed towards his face, and the chill was suddenly felt. He didn't rush back to the mansion, he walked slowly, step by step, slowly passed through the halls, and went to the outside.

In the other room, Yu Shi Zhao Ming just finished handling the trivial matters at hand, got up to pack, and was about to eat a bowl of wontons at the stall outside the palace gate to satisfy his hunger.

Zhao Ming, who was rushing, met Yan Xu, who was walking slowly.

For Yan Xu, Zhao Ming didn't have much impression in the past, he only knew that he was a little prince who was spoiled and protected by his father and brother. Until recently, his perception has changed.After all, he is the heir of His Majesty, once he gets his mind on it, his vision can be said to be unmatched by anyone.

Sensitive and eager to learn, this is Zhao Ming's current view of Yan Xu.

Therefore, Zhao Ming was very pleased to see the Fourth Prince around the Yuanhe Hall at this point, and even smiled a little, and saluted, "I have seen the Fourth Prince."

At this time, at this place, seeing this person, Yan Xu was not surprised at all, but only blinked, and slightly raised his hand as a gesture of excuse: "Master Zhao."

Zhao Ming, who had always been strict, was not used to speaking in a nice voice, so he said a little stiffly: "It's getting late, and it's a little inappropriate for His Highness to be out alone. If there is nothing important, you should come back earlier."

Yan Xu smiled without hesitation: "Thank you for your concern, my prince is planning to return home now." After speaking, the smile on his face suddenly became a little far-fetched. Catastrophe, as the royal family, since this prince inherits this status and enjoys the benefits of the people's dedication, naturally he can't always sit back and enjoy the benefits. As much as he gets, he must have the awareness of how much he should give. It's just that recently, I feel that my own experience There is not enough that I can do, if I don’t spend more time and make more efforts, how can I share my father’s worries.”

Zhao Ming: "Your Highness is too harsh on myself. Since I entered the officialdom, I have encountered countless fledglings. Your Highness is the fastest learner and quickest person I have seen. You might as well let it go."

Hearing this, Yan Xu lowered his head slightly, lowered his eyelids, and closed his eyes. When he raised his head, under the bright silver light, his eyes and face were filled with a humble smile, and inside he couldn't hide the joy of being praised. , Said: "Master Zhao is ridiculous."

Seeing people like this, Zhao Ming couldn't help but soften his heart. He is nearly forty years old, but due to his personality, he has not yet married a wife and has no children. He has always liked Yan Xu's aggressive and well-behaved junior. After all, the other party is the prince of the current dynasty, how can he allow him to surpass.

But this did not prevent Zhao Ming from admiring him. The smiling Zhao Ming slowed down his tone and comforted him, "Your official never speaks in vain."

Yan Xu seemed to have opened up a knot in his heart because of the other party's words, his brows gradually eased, his expression relaxed, and he said: "I am persistent. There is a saying in "Book of Rites", that a man and a husband are born in the world. Cultivate one's morality, cultivate one's personality and regulate one's family, and then govern the country and the world, this prince is not yet married, so there are some things that are really not urgent."

Yan Xu's unintentional words, in Zhao Ming's ears, were like a hozen empowerment, suddenly realized, his eyes widened, and he muttered to himself: "Marry, yes, Your Highness, you are right."

Yan Xu didn't know why, so he simply turned his head in confusion, and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong with you, my lord? What do you mean by this?"

"I suddenly remembered that there are other important matters to be dealt with. Your Highness, I will take my leave first." Zhao Ming bowed to Yan Xu and had no time to take care of him, so he turned around and walked back. Zongzheng Shaoqing, who was walking slowly, didn't wait to stop to apologize, and hurriedly left after apologizing.

After walking a long way, he even heard the sound of him laughing.

Li Qing looked at Mr. Zhao who was leaving inexplicably, then turned his head to look at Yan Xu, bowed and saluted: "I have seen the Fourth Highness."

With a smile on his face, Yan Xu raised his hand and said, "My lord, please get up."

"Your Highness and Mr. Zhao?" Li Qing asked with a puzzled look on his face, then he gave a low laugh, and then said in a soft voice, "The Qi family governs the country and the world, Your Highness, are you making suggestions for His Highness? "

Yan Xu shook his head, also full of puzzlement: "The prince doesn't know, he left so excitedly all of a sudden." After speaking, Yan Xu also slowed down his voice and whispered, "Prince Jian Guo's lifelong event, It is the generality of the country, the prince said so, can your lord understand?"

Li Qing had a smile on his face, but the words he said in a low voice were completely contrary to his expression, and he didn't agree very much: "This time of severe winter flood, there are rumors among the people that the First Prince has lost his morals in supervising the country, and this is the most serious damage to His Royal Highness's reputation in history. , if the follow-up guidance is proper, in the long run, it will definitely affect the reputation of His Royal Highness among the officials, which will be of great benefit to us. However, if the ministers come forward to invite His Highness to marry the imperial concubine at this time, the people are still very happy Said, how can the imperial court be an exception? If His Royal Highness accepts advice to marry a concubine, at that time, no matter how the situation develops, the officials will lose the room to criticize the First Prince with immorality."

At this point, Li Qing frowned, and for a moment couldn't figure out what the Fourth Highness wanted to do.

"Your Highness, please think twice."

Yan Xu, who is as intelligent as Li Qing, naturally understands what Li Qing said, and he can even foresee it.

At the court meeting that day, when Yao Lingyun disrupted King Ning's plan to go south and recommended Yan Yu instead, Yan Xu could vaguely guess what his follow-up intentions would be.

Rumors are just rumors after all, and the influence they can have on eldest brother's popularity is limited. At this moment, different voices are already sounding from the people.And if he gets married at this time, the folks will use the theory of joy, and the so-called theory of immorality can also be suppressed.

What if he doesn't marry?

But, wouldn't it be great if the elder brother really married his concubine like this?

When he has been struggling and hesitating, why did the knife cut off the water and the water flowed again, but God gave him such an opportunity, either one or the other, he directly pulled the water valve to stop everything, or discarded the knife, and then let it go. Floods were flooding.

How could he not give this great opportunity a try.

As long as the eldest brother compromises, he is willing to give up.

Anyone can do it, only Yao Xun can't!

This is his last chance for himself, and also for Yan Chen.

An almost crazy determination flashed in Yan Xu's eyes: "You just do what you want. The so-called immorality theory has limited influence on elder brother. With Yao Lingyun's strategy, it will only be a small ripple in the end. Right now The trend of the people has changed, we don't need to pay too much attention to this matter, and what you want, Mr. Li, how can others not think of it?"

The selection of the concubine is of great benefit to His Royal Highness, but now it is hard to find the "wrongness" of His Royal Highness. The Second Highness and King Ning's party will definitely not allow the situation to develop smoothly, but the truth is so, don't be afraid Ten thousand is just in case, Li Qing still frowned disapprovingly.

Yan Xu glanced at him, pondered for a moment, a cloud of confusion floated in his eyes, and then he said: "Brother has always valued filial piety, my father is still ill, I know him well, right now he is absolutely determined not to agree to get married, And what we are looking for is not the result. The more chaotic the current situation is, the more beneficial it is to us, so you can let go, how to mess up, you and I will see them in the end, who can win over whom, and in the end Well, still."

Eyelids drooped slightly, Yan Xu's lips parted with a smile.

"All lost."

At night, the sky is as cold as ice, and there are few pedestrians.

After bidding farewell to Li Qing, Yan Xu's thoughts became more and more chaotic as he stepped away from the palace gate. Various thoughts piled up in his heart, which was hard to get rid of. Suddenly he didn't want to go back home, so he changed direction , go as you please.

He convinced Li Qing, but he couldn't convince himself.

He knew very well what his purpose was this time, but he knew very clearly in his heart how Yan Chen would choose.

All kindness can be repaid, but liking cannot be repaid; all kindness can be broken, but likewise cannot be broken.

Why do things in this world fail to meet people's wishes?

Before he knew it, Yan Xu walked through Linglong Street again and came to Wanghualou.

After being surprised for a moment, Yan Xu was relieved.

People living in this world will involuntarily be attracted to two kinds of people.One is similar to oneself, and the other is complementary to oneself.

Because they are similar, they are close; because they are complementary, it is difficult to separate them.

Across the world, living alone in a corner, what exactly do you think in your heart?

Standing in the same position as that day, raised his head, his eyes unexpectedly met a pair of pupils, he smiled, and the sky was filled with stars in an instant.

Murong Huai was still sitting in the same position as last time, on the table in front of him, the warm yellow lights were swaying in the wind, looking down at the window, just in time to meet Yan Xu's raised eyes, the sky was full of stars into his eyes.Murong Huai was slightly stunned at first, then the corners of his lips raised slightly, forming a smile line, Taohua seemed to have a bit of teasing in his eyes, and said: "My lord, is there any ease today?"

Yan Xu clasped his hands behind his back, took two steps forward, and said, "It's a good day, but I can't waste it, so I'm here."

"Since you're here, why are you still blowing the cold wind downstairs?" After teasing, he stopped talking, and at the same time looked away and stood up. Same as last time, he still set up a pot of wine, two porcelain cups, and picked up his sleeves. Hold the pot and pour it slowly.

Yan Xu raised his brows lightly when he heard this, and went straight in.

Step up the stairs, and sit down opposite the person. Without waiting for a word, he picks up the wine glass on the table, fills it with warm wine, and pours it down in one gulp: "People must respect themselves and others will respect them. They are not allowed to enter. Wouldn't you lose your confidant if you turned him away?"

Murong Huai smiled, lifted the pot again, and filled the empty cup in front of him by another eight points, and said casually, "I thought that with my son's ability, there is no way to enter the world."

Yan Xu also smiled, noncommittal, raised his hand again, passed the wine cup with his fingertips, but did not lift it up, twirling his fingers around the mouth of the cup, and said indifferently: "People value self-examination, and only then can things be accomplished. After all, everything should not be overdone, It's too much, but it's too late." The movement of the hands didn't stop, but the eyes were raised, and the eyes that fell on the wine glass moved up, and fell on Murong Huai, and the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened.

"What's more, the young master is very human."

Straightforward to almost explicit win over.

Murong Huai and him looked at each other for a moment, then looked away, picked up the porcelain cup in front of him, played with it a little bit in his hand, did not answer, then changed the topic and said: "My lord, this white enamel is fired very well. Put it into the cup, and the begonias on the edge will be in full bloom, very beautiful."

Yan Xu looked down at the cup following his remarks, without saying a word, just sat quietly, but for no reason, there was an immobility like a mountain.

Murong Huai was not disturbed by it, smiled again, and said again: "Although it is beautiful, but before it is burned, no one knows if it will be successful."

"So?" Yan Xu looked at the porcelain cup, the corners of his mouth raised, and his eyes were full of arrogance, "The water is dry, the fish is dying, you can go all out and fight, let alone when the future is uncertain, half of the There are plenty of opportunities."

Murong Huai smiled and said, "Young Master, you really can't tell from his appearance that you are such a heroic person."

"Even if you just call me a gambler, I won't mind." Yan Xu smiled casually, then lowered his face, and asked, "If it's your ambition to play games in the world, then why did you want to study literature in the first place?" Tao Wulue?"

Murong Huai's eyes suddenly lit up with sharpness, and the brows were full of arrogance, but in just a moment, the aura was all gone, as if it had never been there before.

"Lonely courage is always hard to beat the world." With eyes full of soft light, enough to dispel the cold winter, Yan Xu lowered his voice and sincerely suggested: "Come and help me."

Murong Huai was still acting lazy, a bit of tiredness flashed in Taohua's eyes, and said: "It's getting late, young master, should you go back, or stay overnight?"

Yan Xu raised her eyebrows: "It's already late at night, so I won't disturb you."

After finishing speaking, Yan Xu leaned forward and stood up, holding the wine glass in his hand but did not put it down. He still kept it in his hand, took a few steps outside, then turned his head, tilted slightly, and a line of water stains appeared on the ground, solemnly said: "This glass Treat the wine as my prince borrowing flowers to present to the Buddha, in honor of the Murong clan a hundred years ago, so I bid farewell."

The wine glass that Yan Xu flung out was put into Murong Huai's hand intact by the raised hand.

Yan Xu, who walked to the side of the stairs, paused again, but this time he did not look back, and said straightly: "In this world, it is difficult to enter the world, and it is also difficult to get out of the world. If you want to hide in the city, it is even more difficult to be in the world and stay out of it." The difficulty is even more difficult, Mr. Murong is a smart person, I believe he will not make such a move, I will come to ask for advice some other day."

Murong Huai's hand holding the wine glass paused, and his body froze for a moment.After a long time, he tightened his fingers, closed his eyes, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and opened them again.

When a man is born in this world, who wants to live a mediocre life and get by?

Across the world, it was his wish to go out and enter the world.

When he was young and high-spirited, he even thought that if he had been born decades earlier and lived in the era of Emperor Qi, how could he not be the one who unified the world today?

But these are all in the past.

He had given up on this wish as early as ten years ago, and he couldn't let his elder brother get deeper and deeper.Now this is a swallow-style world, rivers are clear and seas are clean, and the people are rich, which is very good. There is really no need to create troubles that affect Liming.

Hey.

Murong Huai let out a long sigh.

This is the first time since his debut that he has failed in stargazing. He didn't want to be so wrong.

The astrology clearly shows that the red luan is moving, but it is not the beautiful girl Pianpian, nor the weak young man, but the eagle that wants to spread its wings.

Hey.

Murong Huai couldn't help but let out another sigh.

☆, the hall does not choose a concubine

The winding paths lead to secluded and winding paths, and the trees are sparse. Among them, there are a few red plum trees scattered here and there, and there is a little bit of residual snow on the top of the pavilion built of blue-gray bricks. Although no one has cleaned it, it is still vivid and wild.

This is a path rarely visited by people in the palace, and Yao Lingyun is strolling here.

In the direction of the Royal Study Room.

half an hour ago.

Yao Lingyun, who was about to go from the Yuanhe side hall to the imperial study, had just stepped out of the hall door, when he saw the fourth prince Yan Xu walking in front of him.

In the early morning today, Zhao Ming, the official censor, suddenly came up to the table and asked the eldest prince to choose a concubine. Afterwards, all the officials and officials debated endlessly about this. Some agreed, and naturally some opposed it.

In the end, His Majesty postponed the matter on the grounds of his majesty's serious illness and the flood in the south, but in the end this matter was only postponed and has not yet been fully settled.

If he meets the Fourth Highness at this time, Yao Lingyun can predict what the other party will say to him.

Ever since, Yao Xun, the number one talented person who was famous in Daxiang, went against his usual routine, and took a detour before Yan Xu saw him, and fled in despair.

For the fourth prince who scolded, could not be scolded, beat, and even thought of beating, at this moment, Yao Lingyun thought that retreating was the best way.

Yao Lingyun, who was taking a detour at the moment, was walking on this picturesque path. The wind was blowing, and the snowflakes and plum blossoms were falling on the branches. The path rarely visited by pedestrians welcomed the footsteps of pedestrians.

And not just one.

Yao Lingyun, who was strolling leisurely, raised his eyes and looked around, and saw a sneaky person in a cloak in front of him, walking towards the palace.

"Who?" Yao Lingyun scolded.

Hearing the sound, the suspicious person in front paused, but didn't look back, just stood quietly. Yao Lingyun pondered for a moment, and stepped closer.

Just when he was a foot away from that person, the person in front suddenly turned around. Seeing that it was Yao Lingyun, he was obviously relieved, raised his hand and pulled down the hood on his head, and bowed himself.

"Looking for the son."

The person in front of her was Aunt Yingzhu.

The servant girl next to Concubine Ning.

"Why is Aunt Yingzhu you?" Yao Lingyun was surprised, took a few steps forward, and returned the same salute.

Yingzhu smiled and said: "I went to the Prime Minister's Mansion for my mother to do something, it's not a big deal, I wanted to go back quietly without alarming others, but I didn't want to be bumped into by Mr. Xun."

Yao Lingyun also smiled, and didn't ask any more questions, just said: "So that's the case, but I didn't find the right one. I don't know if the imperial concubine is okay recently?"

"Your Majesty is in good health, Young Master is concerned." After a pause, Yingzhu hesitated for a while, then said after deliberating, "Young Master and His Highness are inseparable, and they have a close personal relationship. You must have learned some things from His Highness. Your Highness has made frequent moves, and your Majesty will inevitably worry about the Fourth Highness's affairs, so she let me go quietly to Zuo Xiang's residence, please keep today's matter a secret, and don't mention it to others."

Yao Lingyun nodded: "Seek to understand."

"Young Master Lao, then I will take my leave first."

"Auntie please."

Yingzhu saluted again, then turned and left.

"Master Zhao's proposal, this king thinks it can be adopted."

In the imperial study room, Yan Xiao stood in the hall, staring at Yan Chen, with a rare smile on his face, his gaze seemed to glance over Yao Lingyun who came to the imperial study room at the same time as him, and continued: " The emperor's nephew is not too young, and it's time to get married and have children."

Yan Chen was sitting in his seat, but when he heard King Ning calling his nephew, he stood up straight and walked out, explaining respectfully and respectfully with the attitude of a junior: "Uncle Huang is worried, it's just that the current flood Fang Xie, the lives of the people in Huguang are miserable, so how can I ignore the suffering of Liming at this time, and choose a concubine with extravagance?"

Yan Xiao narrowed his eyes and disagreed: "How vast is the territory of my Daxiang? How many people are there? How can I cover everything? Besides, since the establishment of Daxiang until now, what year has it been safe and stable?" Stable, calm? Every year, there are natural disasters and man-made disasters that need to be dealt with in a timely manner. If you follow what the great emperor's nephew said, then don't you need to get married in this life?"

Yan Chen pursed his lips, did not answer him, and only said: "What the emperor said is true, but Chen thinks that at this time, it is not appropriate to proceed with the selection of concubines."

As soon as Yan Chen finished speaking, Yan Xiao waved his hand: "There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and having no offspring is the greatest. Right now, elder brother's illness is worsening. If you can marry a wife and concubine at this time, be very happy. Maybe elder brother's illness can be cured." And I don't know if it's healed." After a pause, Yan Xiao turned to Yao Lingyun and smiled, "Young Master Xun think?"

Yao Lingyun took advantage of the situation, blinked, pondered for a while, as if he was really bluntly admonishing him, and said carefully: "Although the theory of Chongxi has existed since ancient times, it is just a rumor among the people. The most important thing to do when you are sick The matter is still to find a doctor, not such a folk sect, the behavior of the royal family has always been widely imitated by the folk, so the lower officials think it is inappropriate."

"Oh?" Yan Xiao looked at Yao Lingyun with great interest, and responded, "Master Xun thinks that the theory of Chongxi is just a fallacy?" The question was out of the mouth, and there was no need for others to answer, Yan Xiao continued, "But this king If you don’t think so, this statement has been passed down from ancient times to the present, but it is still widely circulated among the people, so how can it be just a fallacy, there is always something to be said, Mr. Xun’s statement is arbitrary."

"My lord doesn't know. Folk rumors have always had their limitations. From ancient times to the present, there may have been a few successful cases, so that the people believed them. But looking at the general direction, since ancient times, finding and returning I have never heard of any dynasty or generation of emperors who can curb the country's subjugation by choosing concubines. On the contrary, there are more emperors who choose concubines too frequently, which wastes people and money, and leads to the subjugation of the country."

A chuckle, just one, just one sound, the pronunciation is short but full of meaning, deeply expressing Yan Xiao's inner thoughts at the moment.

"Ah."

Yao Lingyun didn't seem to be able to hear it, he looked at his nose, his nose, his mouth and asked his heart, and he didn't move.

Seeing this, Yan Xiao raised his eyebrows and sighed, "Master Xun is really knowledgeable about the past and the present."

In fact, Yan Xiao doesn't really care whether Yan Chen marries the concubine or not. It would be more beneficial to him not to marry Yan Chen. He was just curious about Yao Lingyun's opinion on this matter, so he made this statement. Now that I got Yao Lingyun's answer, I don't want to make further troubles.

He talked to Yan Chen a few more words, and left after a while.

After King Ning left, Yao Lingyun contradicted what he had just said, and earnestly advised him.

"Your Highness, it's time for you to get married."

Yan Chen glanced at him, his expression didn't change, he just shook his head.

"No, I already have a wife in my prince's family." After finishing speaking, Yan Chen added nervously, "And my wife is jealous, if she marries again, the family will not be able to have a family."

Yao Lingyun was taken aback, his pupils shrunk slightly, he stared at Yan Chen with wide eyes, and sincerely suggested: "A jealous woman, why doesn't Your Highness stop it?"

Yan Chen sighed, didn't answer immediately, just put on a helpless look, and said after a while: "It's still not possible, my prince can't live without him, although he is jealous, but this prince loves him."

When Yan Chen said this, his voice was slightly slowed down. This kind of expression, which was almost showing weakness, appeared on a person who was always calm and determined. It was somewhat pitiful, and the strong contrast made Yao Lingyun quite at a loss.

Yao Lingyun waved his hand, with a look of reluctance to say more, he turned around and wanted to leave.

Yan Chen raised his hand and pulled Yao Lingyun's wrist to pull him back, straightened his face, and fixedly looked at him.

Yao Lingyun just thought he didn't understand, and responded with innocent eyes.

Yan Chen could only make a big move, saying: "Does Xun Qing have anything to say?"

Yao Lingyun thought for a while, then blinked: "It is true, but before the minister speaks, His Highness must pardon the humble minister first."

"Forgive your innocence." Yan Chen answered very simply and neatly.

Yao Lingyun nodded in satisfaction, and then asked very puzzled: "People say marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous woman. Your Highness, you not only married a jealous woman, but also treated her so preciously. Aren't you a masochist?"

Yan Chen smiled instead of anger when he heard the words, his gentle eyes fell on Yao Lingyun, his eyes were unusually bright, his pupils were full of reflections of the other person, Yao Lingyun's cheeks were flushed when he looked straight at him, and he said in a low voice: " This prince thinks that it is a fallacy to marry a wife and a virtuous person." After speaking, Yan Chen took a step forward and hugged Yao Lingyun, their chests were pressed against theirs, their hearts were huddled together and beating violently, " Since you want to marry, you should marry the one you admire as your wife."

Yan Chen's body temperature was warm and clean. The two of them stuck together, and the atmosphere was too good for a while. The good atmosphere caused Yao Lingyun's brain to fall into an extremely comfortable comatose state, and he said unconsciously: "Your Highness said Well done, Xun also wants to marry the person he admires, but I don't know if it is possible or not?"

After hearing the words, Yan Chen immediately smiled: "I'm afraid this is a bit difficult."

Yao Lingyun pushed Yan Chen away, raised his eyebrows and glared at Yan Chen.

"Why?"

The intent of Yao Lingyun's look was to show hatred, but his cheeks were flushed because of his talent just now, so this look not only did not hate, but was slightly coquettish.

Seeing this, Yan Chen didn't speak, leaned over and kissed him directly.

This kiss was lingering and lingering, and it lasted for a long time, until the last air in Yao Lingyun's chest was drained, Yan Chen let him go.

"That's why."

Yao Lingyun panted heavily, and moved his lips several times during this period, but he just didn't say a word. His chest was beating hotly, swelling, and he was silent for a long time. He snorted to put an end to the tofu being eaten.

"I was on my way here just now..." The two of them were used to coming and going, and they chatted and joked for a few rounds. Yao Lingyun, who was sitting upright, took a sip of his tea before changing the topic, thinking of the time before the other party left. He stopped the conversation, followed the trend and continued without a trace, "I met the Fourth Highness, Chen, do you know why the imperial concubine has been unwilling to let the Fourth Prince get involved with Chao Gang?"

Unexpectedly, the other party would suddenly ask this question, Yan Chen turned his head to look at Yao Lingyun with some doubts, and after a moment of hesitation, he smiled and said: "Many years ago, I also asked my concubine this question, she said Power can mess with people's minds, she just hopes that the fourth brother can be safe and successful, and live in peace and prosperity, and just be an idle prince."

Yao Lingyun frowned slightly when he heard the words, and fell into deep thought.

Yan Chen was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Don't you think this wish of the empress is a bit...well, inappropriate, or inexplicable?" Yao Lingyun carefully expressed his doubts in his words, "I remember that the imperial concubine was born in an ordinary family. Ordinary people in the world, their childhood should be complete, and after His Majesty ascended the throne, he did not fill the harem. Although Concubine Ning Guifei is not a queen, no one in the harem can compete with her. Everyone knows that she is the harem First of all, you brothers, especially you and His Royal Highness have always been brothers and sisters, in such an environment, why does the empress worry that power can disturb people's minds?"

Knowing the antecedents, Yan Chen could more or less understand what Ning Guifei was thinking.

But the royal secret is Ah Xun, and it is inconvenient to reveal it right now, Yan Chen pondered for a while and said with a smile: "Perhaps it is because of this that the empress thinks about it."

Um?Yao Lingyun was surprised, and his eyes signaled Yan Chen to continue.

"Throughout the ages, have there been fewer disputes over rights?" Yan Chen curled up his fingers and tapped on the table, making a dull knocking sound from the solid mahogany, "I think the empress is planning to prevent it from happening. "

Yao Lingyun didn't reply. Whenever he was seriously thinking about something, his overly focused expression would make him look a little dazed.

Seeing people like this, Yan Chen hesitated for a while, but in the end he suppressed some of the things that came out of his mouth, and comforted him with words: "From the small to the big, to see the true self, the empress lives in such an environment, she will treat you It is not difficult for the fourth brother to have such expectations, and moreover, to take a step back, we have no real evidence to prove that the empress is insincere, so I think trust is a better attitude than doubt."

Yao Lingyun stared at Yan Chen, his brows and eyes trembled imperceptibly, and the color of calculation and exploration slowly faded in his eyes.

He is always like this, tolerant, open-minded, seemingly well-behaved, but in fact he is extremely strong inside, he can always see a side that others cannot see, and understand it from the perspective of others.

"I understand." Putting aside his worries, Yao Lingyun's whole body
