[Sui and Tang Dynasties] Wise husbands emerge from under the whip

At the end of August, the East Palace welcomed several other children of Yang Jian. It can also be said that this was the first time Ke Jing met them face to face in such a formal way.

Ke Jing knew that Yang Jian and Lonely Jia Luo had many children, and when they met, she knew that her knowledge was still a little short.

Except for Yang Guang, Yang Yong's other three younger brothers all came. The youngest brother, Yang Liang, is only ten years old this year. He has a typical round face and big eyes, but unlike the innocence of his peers, he is more serious.He stood in front of Ke Jing generously, holding a little girl in a pink long dress with pink carvings and jade carvings in his hand.

"Ah Wu, meet the emperor's wife soon." Yang Liang tugged at the little girl's hand.

The girl who was called Ah Wu bent her knees lightly and skillfully, and said in a soft and waxy voice: "A Wu pays homage to the emperor's wife." When she lowered her head, the hairpin on her head was shaking, taking advantage of that Looking at Shui Lingling's eyes, it is indescribably pleasing.

Ke Jing was suddenly attracted by Ah Wu's cuteness, bent down to hug her, and said with a smile, "How old is Ah Wu?"

Ah Wu stretched out three fingers, "Three years old." After she finished speaking, she felt something was wrong, and then added one, saying, "No, it's four years old." Years old and four years old were wandering around, unable to get an answer, so they could only turn to Yang Liang for help.

Amused by her serious look, a smile spread from the corner of her mouth into her eyes, Ke Jing rubbed her pen tip and said, "Good boy, it doesn't matter if you don't remember, do you want to eat cake?"

"think."

Kejing asked Chunyuan to get the candy, but she didn't let go of Ah Wu.

"Ahem! Sister-in-law,"

Ke Jing, who was playing with Ah Wu, was interrupted by the sound of coughing. When she regained her senses, she found a group of people still kneeling on the ground. "Sorry, please get up, my family doesn't need so many rules."

Yang Xiu and Yang Jun looked at each other, suppressed the surprise in their hearts, and stood up.

"Sister-in-law, brother... how is he?"

The person who asked was a man with a gentle manner, and the gentleness between his eyebrows and eyes was like the moon in the dark night, which made people unable to help but let go of their guard.Standing on his right is a man with a majestic appearance and a beautiful beard. His eyes are piercing, and he looks like a courageous man.

After matching the names in his heart with the two people, Ke Jing replied, "I'm still recuperating in the dormitory. When I woke up last night, I didn't talk much, and I don't know what I was thinking."

"Then sister-in-law, let's go and see Brother Huang first."

"Well, go, he will be very happy to see so many of you," said Ke Jing after a pause, "If you don't mind, stay here for lunch, it's rare for everyone to come together, The East Palace has not been so lively for a long time."

Seeing that she had been playing with Ah Wu with her arms around her, Yang Jun responded instead of the others.

In the flower hall, Ke Jing broke the sweet-scented osmanthus cake brought by Chunyuan into small pieces for Ah Wu to eat. Yang Liang sat aside, looking at Ah Wu's puffy face and narrowed eyes because of satisfaction.

He just went to see Yang Yong for a while before he came out, and then he saw Ah Wu nestled in front of Kejing's chest, eating osmanthus cake, and yelling sweetly "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law".He knows that as long as children have something to eat, they will treat anyone well, and Ah Wu is no exception, but seeing Ah Wu being so clingy and quiet, he still feels a little uncomfortable.

In the past, Ah Wu always followed behind him like brown sugar, but now it is someone else, and he is still so close. To him, it is like being robbed of his beloved.

As for Ke Jing, although he was feeding Ah Wu the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, he kept staring at Yang Liang, who was holding his chin with his hands, with a troubled expression on his face.

Having read "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", for the group of people who suddenly appeared in the East Palace who are related to Yang Yong by blood, she has an advantage over them knowing the future development of things in advance.After Yang Jun and others left, she has been analyzing the available resources.

"Sister-in-law, do you know why Brother Huang is so depressed?"

The thought stopped there, Ke Jing raised his eyes to look at this young and mature child, and said with a gentle smile: "Your brother, in fact, is very resourceful and talented."

"These are obvious to all." Yang Liang disapproved, "But he can't let him play freely."

Ke Jing had no choice but to face up to this child.

She came here in the fourth year of Kaihuang, and the establishment of the Sui Dynasty was in the first year of Kaihuang. At that time, Yang Yong was conferred the title of prince because of his grandfather's achievements, and his younger brothers and sisters were also conferred titles accordingly. .

And in the past few months when she was here, she didn't think carefully about what happened before, all she cared about was the future, let the past pass, it's not worth mentioning again.So I started to think hard and started to clean up the idle people and so on.After Yang Liang said this, she suddenly felt that she had missed something.

And what is missing is likely to be the key.

Putting Ah Wu up, Ke Jing asked, "Then tell me, why?"

"Sister-in-law Huang still remember what happened in the winter when brother Huang just became the crown prince?"

Ke Jing was taken aback, but under Yang Liang's reminder, she calmed down.

"Yong Zengwen decorated a Shu armor. The emperor worried about his bad habits and warned him. 』(Translation by the author: Yang Yong once decorated a piece of Shu armor [Shu Kai: that is, armor, worn in battle]. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was worried that he would get into the habit of extravagance, and specially warned him.)

"It's just a piece of Shu armor, it's not enough to..."

Before he finished speaking, Ke Jing was interrupted by Yang Liang.

"It's not just that." Yang Liang paused for a while, and said slowly, "Didn't the sister-in-law forget what happened that winter solstice?"

winter solstice?

In the first year of the founding of the emperor, Yang Yong had just become the crown prince. During the winter solstice of that year, all officials in the imperial court had an audience with Yang Yong, and Yang Yong was also happy to accept their congratulations.

etc!Ke Jing's eyes flickered, and he returned to the historical records.

"The emperor asked his ministers what kind of etiquette is used to see bravery. Taichang Shaoqing Xin Quan said that the East Palace should congratulate, but not in court. 』

"The emperor used courage to oppose the etiquette system, even if he ordered his subordinates not to use courage in the court, the love for courage decreased day by day, and suspicion increased instead. 』

That's why those memorials were put aside; that's why every time he went to court, he went to have fun before returning to the East Palace; so his mind was on those poems and fine wine.

It's not that he doesn't want to focus on government affairs, but...

There was a sudden chill on his back, and the hand holding the sweet-scented osmanthus cake was misplaced, almost poking into Ah Wu's eyes.

"According to my brother, the reason why the emperor is so depressed is because the father no longer favors him."

This is Yang Liang's conclusion.

Flipping through the memorials on the desk, and stroking the writing on them with his fingertips, Ke Jing let out a long breath.

The matter is far from as simple as what Yang Liang said, if it were that simple...it would be fine.

At the same time, in the bedroom of Prince Jin's Mansion, Yang Guang was lying on the tiger skin cushion, with his head resting on Xi'er's legs, and enjoying her massage with his eyes closed.

Just now a secret agent came to report that his three younger brothers and two younger sisters had visited Yang Yong, and they finally left after noon.

Yang Guang waved his hand, and the spy left quickly after paying his respects.

Xi'er's fingers gradually moved from his shoulders to the top of his head, rubbing gently and gently, so comfortable that he let out a sigh.

"This skill is getting better and better." The deep voice reveals laziness, making everyone who hears it feel their hearts pounding.

"It's all thanks to Your Highness."

Yang Guang grabbed Xi'er's hand and was about to kiss it when he suddenly received a message from outside that the things had arrived.He sat up and ordered someone to bring the things in. It didn't take long for the servant in burlap to come to Yang Guang with a scroll in both hands, bent over and bowed.

"Open."

Jia Ding tore off the red string on the scroll, stretched his arms, and a picture of a woman's back was displayed in front of Yang Guang.

The woman in the painting has black hair like a cloud, wears a red high-waisted dress with tassel-shaped decorations around her waist, and a shawl hangs behind her shoulders, as if the wind blows the shawl. At the bottom, the woman's graceful back is hidden in the cloak, looking from afar like a fairy descending to earth.

The only regret is that you can't see the woman's front face, even if she tilts her face slightly, you can't see which girl it is.

"Xi'er, what do you think?" Yang Guang asked with a smile after looking at the painting for a long time.

Xi'er was startled, she came back to her senses, lowered her body, "It's beautiful."

"Beautiful?" With a rising tone, Yang Guang turned around and looked at her jokingly, "Where is the beauty?"

"Back view." Xi'er answered truthfully.

"What if she's not an alluring beauty?" Seeing Xi'er's slightly surprised face, Yang Guang turned to the painting, and slid his fingers down the woman's hair in the painting, "She has neither an alluring appearance, nor does the king Heart-pounding looks."

"But..." Pointing back to that face, Xi'er clearly saw the sparkle in Yang Guang's eyes.

She recognized that kind of look, and she was very familiar with it. That look would only be revealed when he coveted something that made him want to get it.

"But this king just likes her. I like her so much that I want to see her various appearances after this layer of arrogance has faded away." Facing the woman in the painting, Yang Guang's eyes gradually became arrogant, as if he had already glimpsed her. .

There is no alluring appearance, and no attractive beauty... Xi'er looked at the woman in the painting.

I don't know if the artist did it on purpose or not, but the side face of the woman in the painting seems to have a domineering arrogance to the world, especially the eyes, which are indifferent and alienated, repelling people thousands of miles away and making people unable to resist looking at her, as if There is only the sharpness between her brows in the world.

What Yang Guang said seems to be just a man's ambition to conquer women, but a woman who can resist a man's outstanding appearance and talent and arouse his desire to conquer can drive a man even more crazy.Therefore, the woman in the painting, Yang Guang did not just "conquer" to determine his relationship with her.

The Yang Guang at this moment is what she wants but cannot happen to her, because her heart has already fallen, and there is no way out.

The jaw was suddenly raised, and Xi'er was forced to look up at the handsome man in front of her, and only listened to what he said.

"Of course, this king will not let you down. You are so considerate, this king is still reluctant to let you go."

"Xi'er only wants to serve His Highness for the rest of her life, and she is satisfied."

Faced with her sudden oath, Yang Guang curled his lips and said, "That's why this king likes you."

"Your Highness, the person you asked to investigate before has been thoroughly investigated."

The intrusion of another spy interrupted Yang Guang who was about to steal the fragrance. He let go of Xi'er in his arms and glared at the man viciously, "You seem to have forgotten one thing."

Sen Leng's tone was full of killing intent, like a scimitar from the underworld, flying straight towards him.

The spy was shocked, and suddenly broke out in sweat.

Yang Guang suddenly changed his attitude and said, "But today, the king is happy, so let's spare you for now, remember to say hello when you come in next time."

"Yes!"

"Since the woman's identity has been found out, let's do it tonight. Remember, don't leave a trace, and do it cleanly."

"Yes!"
