A Hint of Spring

"Your Majesty, I think that the tiger father has no dog sons, not to mention that your majesty is a dragon, and all the princes are sons of dragons, most of whom are excellent in ability. Among them, the best ones must be valued by your majesty!"

The emperor asked Lu Yan to name his favorite prince, so he circled around and returned the question to the emperor.

"I have a few important things to announce at the court meeting tomorrow, so don't let me be absent by then."

"promise!"

Lu Yan was deeply baffled. The emperor asked him to meet him just to teach himself? On the one hand, he hinted that he should not get too close to the princes, and on the other hand, he asked himself which prince he favored. Isn’t this embarrassing him? Maybe something will happen to him tomorrow. He's about it!

"Brother Xia stay behind!"

Lu Yan heard someone calling him, turned around and saw a tall man dressed as a guard.He is not like a heavy-backed warrior like ordinary warriors, but like a scholar, his brows are full of heroism, and his Taoism is an extraordinary person.

"Brother Xia, my son is here to invite you!"

"But I don't know who your son is?"

"Young master Muyi, please do me a favor."

Mu Yi, isn't it Yang, it seems that it should be a certain prince.I'm afraid that I want to win over myself, but I'm afraid of offending him if I don't go.It is not easy to be a human being caught between the emperor and his son.After thinking for a moment, I decided to go and see who Mr. Yang was.

"Please lead the way!"

"Brother Xia is really young and promising, to be favored by the master, I am so envious."

"I'm overwhelmed. It's just that I was lucky enough to be appreciated by my superiors. Long En is awesome."

Lu Yan wondered in his heart which important person wanted to see him.The prince's party is divided into several factions, the long faction respected by the eldest prince Yang Muying, the virtuous faction with the second prince Yang Muzhen as the head, the moderate faction of the third prince Yang Muling, and the dandy faction of the fourth prince Yang Mufang. It can be said that there is no sect.

"Young master, people are here!"

I saw a man with purple golden crown hair and a mustache who danced like an extraordinary man, with a chic and unrestrained air in his gestures.

"Master Mu, please be polite!"

"Please sit down! There is no distinction between top and bottom today, Su Er, sit down too."

"My lord, I don't dare to take a humble position, so I'd better stand by and serve you."

Lu Yan understood the interaction between the two masters and servants. This master probably belongs to the second prince's faction. As for the number of princes, it is unknown.

"Yongbang is deeply loved by the master. I have heard a lot about your deeds."

After saying that, the prince stood up and poured wine for Lu Yan himself, Lu Yan was flattered and hurriedly stopped him.The prince poured wine for him, asking himself if he couldn't bear it.

"My lord, you can't do it, Yongbang will come by himself."

Since he doesn't reveal his identity, let's go along with the flow.

"I don't know if the young master sees Yongbang, do you have something to order?"

Lu Yan went straight to the point and cut directly to the topic. He didn't want to wait until he was drunk and foolishly agree to their request.

"Then I won't beat around the bush! You are the number one scholar in this discipline, and I want you to wait for my disciples."

The two looked at each other and gave Lu Yan a very sure look, and Lu Yan guessed right.

"Young master, as long as the master is still here, I will be the master's man, and I will do my best to help the master."

"You~ don't agree?"

"It doesn't matter whether you agree or not. I am short-sighted. I only know that serving the master well is enough."

"Do I have to ask you to be mine?"

"Young master is like this, you have lost the demeanor of a sage, who will dare to seek friendship in the future?"

"you!"

The man got up and shattered the table, splitting it in two.Lu Yan had no reason to be afraid at all, luckily the wine in his hand was still there.

"Young master, calm down! Brother Xia is young and energetic, don't blame him."

"Young master, if Yongbang said something offensive, I still hope that you will forgive me. How about drinking this cup to make amends?"

Lu Yan found out that this master's martial arts is so good, could it be that Xian sent the famous fifth prince Yang Mucang.

"Fifth son, Yongbang was personally chosen by the master, and they all take the master's life. Fifth master, please don't embarrass me. But if you can help you sons, Yongbang will definitely go through fire and water!"

"Young Master, since Brother Xia has made such a promise, then don't force him, it's always good to be kind! What do you think?"

"Okay, I'm here today, you go back!"

"Then Yongbang bids farewell!"

After Lu Yan left, the two people in the room did not leave.

"Fifth brother, I told you that this kind of move of yours can only bluff people who are greedy for life and fear of death. How can smart people be afraid? After all, I really feel sorry for this table."

"Second brother, you are indeed the leader of the virtuous faction, you won! Unexpectedly, Xia Yongbang is so mighty and unyielding!"

"Xia Yongbang is smart. No wonder he is deeply trusted by the master. He has his own reasons for not agreeing. I reckon that he should not show favor to any prince at present. He already knows your identity, so naturally he knows my position in the ruling and opposition parties." Not low. You and I just have to wait and see!"

It turned out that Su Er was the second prince Yang Muzhen, as to why he played the role of servant, probably only they themselves knew.

In the early morning of the next day, Lu Yan came to the palace as scheduled. The emperor ordered Lu Yan to accompany the fourth prince to read, Ye Zhiqiu to be the teacher of the young prince, and Su Junqing to be the teacher of the eleventh prince.When the last decree comes down, it will be a bolt from the blue for him---on the fifteenth day of this month, he will marry the sixth princess.

He thought he had escaped, but God knows where the Sixth Princess appeared. What should he do? He couldn't escape, so he could only use the previous method.In fact, he was not worried that he was Ye Zhiqiu instead, and he didn't know how the obstinate princess would torture her.He really wanted to rescue her, but the Concubine's House was so guarded that not even a fly could fly in, let alone a living person.I hope that on the fifteenth day, the guards will loosen up so that I can take the opportunity to enter.On Xia Baisu's side, he couldn't make it through, no matter whether he marries the princess or not, he will still hurt her after all, Lu Yan is helpless!

Ting Ran thought of escaping as soon as he realized it, but unfortunately, he was weak after all, and he was not an opponent of the Imperial Guards, so he had to give up.In the palace, one had to flee or die. The first way was impossible, and the second way was that she was unwilling to die in the palace, in this place that made her resentful.It is said that the emperor wants to marry her to someone, who could it be? No matter who it is, as long as that person dares to touch her, I will destroy him!

Although Ye Zhiqiu was chosen by the Seventh Princess, she was quite unwilling. How could the Empress not know her little thoughts, and nothing could go wrong at this juncture.The Seventh Princess is followed to death every day, because she is afraid that she will be a ghost, and if she thinks of some way to escape, the royal family will lose face!

"Minister of the Ministry of Rites asks to see the queen!"

"What is disturbing the cleanliness of this Palace?"

"The empress, the sixth son-in-law and the seventh son-in-law choose the women in the trial marriage palace?"

"Your Majesty said that there will be no court maids for trial marriage this time. Other matters will be handled according to royal rules."

According to the legend of Daliang, before a princess gets married, the empress dowager or empress personally selects a smart and skilled court lady to act as a "trial marriage maid", and goes to the concubine's house together with the princess's dowry. Marriage maid" and the prince-in-law have a trial marriage.In the early morning of the next day, the "trial marriage maid" will send someone back to the palace to report in detail to the queen mother or queen whether the son-in-law has any physical defects, whether his personality is gentle, etc.Once the trial marriage is qualified and the princess is officially married, the "trial marriage maid" will stay with the concubine or serve as a concubine or a maidservant.After passing the trial marriage, the princess consort should not use this as an excuse to reconcile.

This kind of system is nothing more than a bad thing for those who don't want to be son-in-law.The emperor decreed not to set up court ladies for trial marriage, to some extent it was to protect the interests of the seventh princess.

The day when the emperor marries his daughter, the whole world celebrates it. This daughter can be said to be a collection of thousands of favors. Outsiders see all kinds of honor and favor, but in the eyes of some people, they are worthless.No matter which princess or prince is in the emperor's house, even if thousands of people are unwilling, they still have to become servants of politics.

The two princesses who are getting married today, no matter how festive they are outside and how beautiful they are, they are no match for the helplessness and unwillingness in their hearts.Will they bow to fate?
