Ruan Sheng frowned, and made a conclusion without any hesitation: "Nonsense, this is impossible."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Xie Yan, just waited to meet Xie Yan's obviously suspicious eyes, opened his mouth to explain, Xie Yan had already turned his head to the side, four!

One moment he said that he would never have any children, and the next moment four came up, which is simply... too much.

Xie Yan felt inexplicably upset, and didn't know if it was because Ruan Sheng had lied to him or what, so he simply continued to flip through the storybook, deciding to believe in Emperor Ruan's words in the future, and he would take his surname.

Ruan Sheng saw that Xie Yan obviously believed it, rubbed his brows, and asked Eunuch Xu to bring the hexagrams.

Eunuch Xu also sensed the delicate atmosphere in the hall, and forcibly suppressed the joy in his heart, but he still didn't dare to show it too much, and handed it over respectfully.

Ruan Sheng took it over, and sure enough, it was written with this hexagram. His eyes fell on the "Four Heirs" and "Two Immortals", and he looked at Eunuch Xu expressionlessly: "Xu An, tell me, Do I look like a reckless person?" If he wants to realize it according to the hexagram, he will conceive a child in the palace at the end of next month, but how is it possible?

Eunuch Xu was also excited at the beginning, but now he calmed down and nodded seriously: "Of course the emperor won't." Otherwise, he wouldn't be crowned weak for two years and ascend the throne for more than three years without visiting the harem.

When Ruan Sheng said this, he glanced at Xie Yan from the corner of his eye to see if he was listening, but the hall is so big, even if he was really reading the script, he could still listen.

Ruan Sheng seemed to be talking to Eunuch Xu, but he was actually telling Xie Yan: "I thought that this national teacher might be half-baked and doesn't have any talents."

Eunuch Xu didn't dare to talk too much, he understood now, the emperor was afraid that his wife would be jealous, he was explaining, he still had some sharp eyesight, so he responded repeatedly.Ruan Sheng threw the hexagram back into Eunuch Xu's arms and waved.

Eunuch Xu withdrew immediately, obviously he also knew that it was impossible for Crown Prince Chu and Guoshi Chu to see the emperor, who told them...they asked for a meeting at the wrong time, and they said such words again, it was really lacking in vision.

Since it can be counted like this, why didn't you calculate whether it is suitable for traveling today?

But it is said that Chu Guoshi inherited the previous Guoshi, and stood out among several senior brothers, and was praised by Chu State as a rare talent in a hundred years. Chu Guoshi's fortune-telling and praying for Chu State were very accurate several times, which is why he was very surprised when he heard it at first.

Just thinking about it now... unless someone drugged the emperor again and succeeded, otherwise, with the empress around, it would be impossible no matter what.

Eunuch Xu went to personally reject Prince Chu.In the main hall of Huayang Palace, Xie Yan had no expression on his face, just lay there and continued to read the script, ignoring Ruan Sheng.

Ruan Sheng waited for a while to see that Xie Yan ignored him, so he simply folded the memorial and sat down, "What script is Aifei reading? So engrossed?"

Xie Yan didn't even raise his head, "It's nothing, the emperor definitely doesn't like to watch old-fashioned dramas about wits and beautiful ladies."

Seeing that he was still willing to talk to him, Ruan Sheng felt relieved a lot, and asked along the way: "I think it's not bad, can my concubine tell me?"

Xie Yan's dark pupils turned, "Okay, it's just that this talented man said he was a talented man, but he was actually a scumbag. He was a poor scholar before going to Beijing for the exam. He even offered his heart, and as a result, this talented man was admitted to the first prize and became the princess. He also said that he was forced to help him, and wanted a beautiful woman to be his concubine. dont you agree?"

Ruan Sheng helplessly looked at Xie Yan's eyes, with an obvious smile in his eyes. Is this a script or scolding him for lying to him?

Ruan Sheng coughed calmly, "Is that so? It's the poor beauty who gave her sincerely and fell in love with a villain."

Xie Yan originally wanted to bow his head, but after thinking about it: Who is sincere to him?Who cares?

Ruan Sheng saw him sitting there with a puffy face and didn't speak, so he couldn't hold back a smile in his eyes, "Okay, I won't tease my concubine anymore, I will never take back what I said before, not to mention that the national teacher might be so It’s not sure if there are other purposes. Let’s not talk about whether his calculations are accurate or not, but he is very good, he is a national teacher of Chu State, why should he worry about the issue of heirs for me?”

Xie Yan thought for a while, and although he thought it was right, he had no hesitation or thought about Emperor Ruan's words before. But there will definitely be a lot in the future, even if he is sincere in what he said now, he may regret it in the future.

It's not that he has broken his sleeves, why did he hang himself on a tree?

But Xie Yan didn't explain these words, "Maybe."

Ruan Sheng saw that he didn't believe him at all, and he was helpless, and he was also annoyed at Prince Chu and Guoshi Chu, wouldn't this add to the confusion.

On the other side, Prince Chu was blocked at the gate of the palace with an ugly face. He is a majestic prince of a country, and no one dared to stop him even in his father's imperial study. As a result, he was directly blocked at the gate of the palace when he arrived at Daruan Kingdom. .

If this is passed back, do you still want the prince's face?

But thinking of the purpose this time, Prince Chu took a deep breath. If the third child hadn't pushed too hard, he wouldn't have sought foreign aid, and wanted to use Emperor Ruan's power to compete with the third child.

He also hates his father even more for saying well on the surface, saying that he is the crown prince, and the throne must be his in the future, but in the end, he secretly set his mind on it, and he has already made up his mind to want the third son to ascend the throne in the future. It's a target, but it's just to temporarily hold this position for the third child.

Prince Chu took a deep breath. If the national teacher hadn't been on his side to help him figure out the calamity, and let him hear the conversation between his father and the third child, he might die without knowing that he was just being used. stepping stones.

Prince Chu didn't have a good look at others, but he still respected the national teacher who almost saved him, "National teacher, what do you mean by Emperor Ruan? He didn't see you for so long, he didn't like it." What's up with Gu?"

The man he called the national teacher was dressed in a cloud robe, his appearance was extremely brilliant, and his whole demeanor was indifferent, just standing there gave people a sense of immortality, and he was far away, only thinking that the man The exiled immortal came to the world, but when he got closer, he was attracted by the knife mark on the opponent's face at first glance. It's a pity that such a perfect face was cut by life.

The man didn't seem to notice the gazes of other people. When he heard the words of Prince Chu, he lowered his eyebrows and his eyes showed no traces, "Your Highness, don't worry, today I have made a divination for His Highness. First things are difficult and then smooth. Sending it up is just a formality, as long as you see Concubine Yan, you can also see Emperor Ruan."

Prince Chu trusted this national teacher very much, and he relaxed after hearing this, as long as he could see Emperor Ruan, he didn't care.

Not long after, Eunuch Xu came over, didn't say that Emperor Ruan didn't want to see them, and said politely: "Your Highness Chu, Lord Zong, today is really unfortunate, the emperor is busy at the moment, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to see you two, when the emperor is free, The little one went over and invited the two of you to the palace to have an audience?"

Although it was an inquiry, the meaning was obvious. Emperor Ruan didn't want to see them, so he was being polite.

Prince Chu was not annoyed at the moment because he was mentioned by the national teacher. He didn't have any hope, and he didn't pursue it when he heard the words. Should the son be free? Gu is his imperial brother, who came from a long way, his biological mother Tuogu brought him a gift, and Tuogu handed it to him himself, please come again, Mr. Xu?"

Eunuch Xu did not expect that Prince Chu could hold his breath. Not only was he not angry, but he also made the next best thing and wanted to see the empress directly.

The problem is... the empress is staying with the emperor, doesn't that mean seeing the emperor again?

But it was related to the birth mother of the empress, so Eunuch Xu went back to Huayang Hall again.

Xie Yan frowned when he heard Eunuch Xu's report, "He said that? He said that my biological mother asked him to give it to me?" Are you kidding me, can my aunt have a chance to see him?Besides, even if he really saw it, he didn't believe that Prince Chu would be so kind as to give him anything.

This was obviously a threat to force him to see him.

Xie Yan's face was not very good-looking, but since Prince Chu came, even if he didn't see him this time, he still wanted to see him next time. Why don't we see what the purpose of Prince Chu's coming to Ruan Kingdom this time is.

Xie Yan looked at Emperor Ruan who was not about to leave, "Your Majesty, I want to see you."

Ruan Sheng's eyes fell on his tightly pursed thin lips, "If you don't want to see him, then refuse."

Xie Yan, "Since he's here, I'll see you sooner or later." A crown prince, who is still his imperial brother in name, also wants to see if that national teacher really has such great abilities.

Ruan Sheng thought about it, and waved his hand at Eunuch Xu, "Since you want to see him, then let's see you."

Xie Yan waited for Eunuch Xu to leave, and seeing Ruan Sheng sitting there without moving a muscle, "Your Majesty is not leaving?"

Ruan Sheng pointed to the folder in front of him, "I'm right here."

Xie Yan thought for a while, then moved closer, "Will the emperor hide?"

Ruan Sheng raised his eyebrows, "What?" What's his plan?

Xie Yan said: "Those two people who came here are obviously not kind. If you are here, they must be afraid of your identity and dare not say anything directly, but if you are not here, they will tell the purpose of meeting the minister this time."

Ruan Sheng thought for a while, and was sure that Xie Yan's curiosity was really aroused, so he could only temporarily move the things to the apse, so that he could hear the movement here not far away.

Xie Yan looked back, but he was not afraid of what Prince Chu would say, it would be better to threaten him, it would make him look like a poor little person who was not taken seriously, and he would be able to eat for a while longer if he had more benefits from fighting miserably in the future However, Emperor Ruan's previous proposal made him think clearly that with his appetite, he really needs to save some money.

Otherwise, once he leaves the palace, he may not be able to eat for a few years, so he can only cut down on food and clothing.

He didn't want to continue eating pancakes anymore, thinking about the days in the Xie Mansion, just one word, miserable.

Because Prince Chu knew from the national teacher that he would definitely see someone this time, seeing Eunuch Xu's complexion improved a lot, and sure enough, Eunuch Xu invited them over.

Eunuch Xu was not surprised when he saw Prince Chu, he didn't show it on the face, but he was surprised in his heart. After thinking about it, he felt that this national teacher really had some real skills, but he didn't know the hexagrams that this national teacher gave to the emperor. Is it true or a lie, if it is true... then it would be really great.

The Hall of Mental Cultivation has been deserted for so many years. When the first emperor was alive, it was inevitable that he would be lonely because he was the only heir of the emperor. If the emperor had no more heirs, the Hall of Mental Cultivation would still be deserted in the next few decades.

He was fine, he just felt that the emperor's side was too deserted.

But Eunuch Xu is entangled again, now that the emperor and the empress are inseparable, if a child comes, the empress will feel... definitely uncomfortable.

Eunuch Xu was so entangled that he took Prince Chu and the national teacher to Huayang Hall.

The two men entered the palace single-handedly, and their sincerity was quite evident.

Xie Yan had met Prince Chu during the two months in Chu State. After all, he was going to be trained as a killer and sent to Ruan State with his relatives. Ruan State and Chu State were at odds, and Ruan State's defeat was beneficial to Chu State.

Prince Chu is the heir apparent of the Chu Kingdom, so he is naturally a beneficiary. However, Xie Yan has only met him two or three times, and his impression is so-so. , so he was conferred the title of Prince as soon as he was born, but he was born at the starting line.

When Xie Yan heard Eunuch Xu tell Prince Chu that the two had already arrived outside the palace, he thought about it, and was not interested in that national teacher, "Let Prince Chu come in alone."

Eunuch Xu thinks about it too. It makes sense for Prince Chu to come to Huayang Palace. After all, he is the emperor's brother and is related by blood. Unhappy, I guess this is also an expression of anger.

Eunuch Xu went back, "Prince Chu, Your Majesty told me to let you in alone."

The national teacher took a look at Prince Chu, but his voice was still calm, "Since Your Majesty said so, let Your Highness go to see Your Majesty."

Prince Chu didn't say anything, since the hexagram said that you can see Emperor Ruan when you see Concubine Yan, I'm afraid that Emperor Ruan might be in the palace at this moment, he came here this time to seek help and not for revenge, and he is willing to give this face.

Eunuch Xu took Prince Chu to the front of the main hall, but he took a second look at Prince Chu. He had never seen Prince Chu before, but after all this time, he felt that Prince Chu had a good attitude. He did this repeatedly without any anger , so, either it is too scheming, or... I am afraid that the purpose of coming this time is to seek something.

Prince Chu was led into the hall by Eunuch Xu, and Eunuch Xu retreated outside to guard.

Xie Yan had already sat up, and now seeing Prince Chu approaching, his face was indifferent, without any emotion, "Brother Huang came from a long way, it's hard work, sit down."

Prince Chu looked at Xie Yan in a very complicated mood. Half a year ago, this one in front of him was just an illegitimate son of his father who was away from home. He was sent for marriage only to assassinate Emperor Ruan. She actually became a noble concubine directly, or the only noble concubine in the harem, which shows that Emperor Ruan attached great importance to his younger brother.

Prince Chu raised the hem of his robe and sat down beside him, "I haven't seen you for a few months, brother Yan has lost a lot, but you are not used to it in this palace?"

Xie Yan's name was Xie Yan when he was in the Xie Mansion, but he changed his name to Chu Yan when he came to Chu State, with the same pronunciation and different characters.

Xie Yan smiled, "I can't say I'm not used to it, but it's more comfortable than when I was in Chu State. At least I can eat enough, right? It's just that I didn't take care of it on the way to Ruan State. Now, it's much better than when I first came here. .”

Prince Chu heard the ridicule in his words, but he was not annoyed, who asked him to ask for help, his eyes swept across the hall calmly, but he couldn't find where Emperor Ruan was, but he believed the words of the national teacher , closed his eyes, and let out a long sigh, "Brother Yan is angry in his heart, and the emperor knows it, but the emperor is soft-spoken. He wanted to help at the beginning, but he couldn't say anything."

Xie Yan squinted, what about playing?He can't speak for a prince?

Prince Chu sighed, "Brother Yan also finds it strange? Brother Huang almost ran away from Luo Huang when he came this time. Since this is the case, he will not hide it from Brother Yan. This time, Brother Huang was actually given by the third brother." He was forced to come here to seek foreign aid. Father, he... all these years just wanted to use the emperor as a target. In the future, the throne is going to be handed over to the third child, and the third child is now hardened, and he can no longer accommodate the emperor, the emperor These days... have a hard time. The things I told you before, the things that asked you to get married and threatened you, were all done by the third brother, this brother of the emperor... is also powerless. "

Prince Chu didn't dare to mention the assassination. Not only did he make a fuss, but he also told Emperor Ruan who was hiding there his purpose this time. He didn't come here to find trouble, but to seek foreign aid. He was full of sincerity. What made him assassinate Emperor Ruan was completely different.

Xie Yan took a deep look at Prince Chu, and he said, it's a good way to be low-key with him, and the relationship is like a wall between brothers.

"Brother Huang's words really made me a little dizzy, Brother San Huang has always been with you, Brother Huang..."

"Knowing people, knowing the face, not knowing the heart, Brother Huang is thanks to the help of the national teacher to help Brother Huang to let Gu hear those secrets, otherwise, when Gu finds out, I am afraid that there will only be a handful of bones left, and Brother Yan will never see you again." Emperor brother." Prince Chu tried his best to make himself miserable, but he avoided some important things, making himself appear to be inferior. Only in this way, a prince who is easy to manage is better than a prince who is cruel and powerful. The old three who are against Ruan Guo should control it.

Xie Yan was skeptical, probably because his purpose was not so simple, he made himself so miserable, he was still a prince after all, and he was forced to become a male concubine, "I didn't expect it to be like this, but... the national teacher that the emperor said ? Didn’t you always have good friends with the third prince?” Why did you suddenly occupy the prince’s side?

When he left Chu State, he heard that the new national teacher was a member of the third prince.

Prince Chu's eyes flashed with pride when he heard the words, but he quickly concealed it, "Brother Yan, you left early, and many things have happened in Chu State in the past few months. When you were still in Chu State, you were the 32nd generation Teacher, now, it is the 33rd generation, the new Master of the National Teacher."

Xie Yan was really stunned this time, he didn't care about Chu's affairs, and he didn't intend to really help assassinate Emperor Ruan, so he didn't know about it. What's more, he rarely knew about the outside world when he stayed in the palace. What's more, the state of Chu, "I heard that it is very powerful, and it has only been changed in a few months?" He was in Chu State for two months at that time. It hasn't been half a year since I left Chu State, so I changed again?

Prince Chu was very patient and explained: "Master Zong is the younger brother of the previous national teacher. The old national teacher originally wanted to appoint Lord Zong to inherit the mantle and become the next national teacher. It's a pity that Mr. Zong's elder brother is not reconciled. The night before he took over the mantle, he tricked Master Zong into a place and imprisoned him, and even lynched him, probably because he was afraid that if Master Zong died, other senior brothers would be suspicious. Day and night, I tortured Master Zong with whips and punishments. Fortunately, Master Zong was saved by a young eunuch, and later Master Zong escaped from the sky and regained his position as a national teacher."

Xie Yan didn't expect that there are so many twists and turns in this line of national teachers. Doesn't it mean that their school of national teachers is very fairy-like and down-to-earth on fame and fortune?It doesn't look like much, does it? "Then this lord is really lucky. The little eunuch saved the national teacher, and it can be regarded as a good relationship." In the future, I am afraid that the glory and wealth will be inexhaustible.

When he was in Chu State, he had heard that the lineage of national teachers had been passed on for hundreds of years, and it was very powerful. The family business accumulated over hundreds of years was enough to make the royal family of Chu State fearful.

Xie Yan wondered, since there are national teachers to help, why does Prince Chu still seek foreign aid?

He didn't ask, and he didn't care about Prince Chu.

Prince Chu wanted to say that the little eunuch was not found, and the national teacher has not given up yet, but there is no need to mention these things to Xie Yan, "Let's not talk about this, this time I am here, one is to seek foreign aid; two, I also want to see how you are doing here, brother Yan, when I heard that you have become a noble concubine, I couldn't wait to ask the national teacher to make a fortune between you and Emperor Ruan." Prince Chu's words were coaxing a thank-you banquet It is true that the national teacher counted on Emperor Ruan, but he did not count on Xie Yan.

After all, this kind of consumption of mind and mind can be ignored, and Xie Yan, a small shrimp, doesn't care.

Xie Yan was rather curious, "Forget it for me? What's the point?"

Seeing him taking the bait, Crown Prince Chu smiled, "Naturally, Emperor Yan, you and Emperor Ruan are more in love with each other than Jin Jian, and you will definitely get along well with each other in the future, but it's a pity..."

Xie Yan didn't want to listen anymore when he heard the first words, so let's coax him, continue to coax him, but this guy turned a corner halfway through his speech, and gave him a sideways look, "What's the pity?"

Prince Chu said: "It's a pity that although Brother Yan and Emperor Ruan have a good relationship, the only regret is that you have no heirs, Brother Yan, and Emperor Ruan will have four heirs in the future. As far as my brother is concerned, I am afraid it is a crisis."

Xie Yan almost couldn't help rolling his eyes. He understood why Prince Chu would send such a hexagram. His feelings were intended to use this to convince him. He could almost imagine the other party's next plan, which was definitely to send someone into the palace. Gong, the birth of an heir is recorded in his name, use this to deceive him, and then persuade Emperor Ruan to accept the person he sent.

Although Xie Yan thought it through clearly, his face pretended to be surprised, "Brother Huang said that...it's actually a worry for me, but who told me...hey, if there is a fate, let's let it go."

"Brother Yan, don't be like this, there is actually a turning point in this matter." Prince Chu saw him taking the bait, and tried to lure him carefully.

Xie Yan raised his eyebrows, "Oh? How about a turning point?"

Prince Chu, "Brother Yan, let me tell you the truth. Ruan and Chu have been arguing for so many years. It's really boring. I want the two countries to have a truce for a hundred years and become an ally. It's a pity that there is a third child... I'm afraid of being alone." If the third child becomes the emperor in the future, I’m afraid there will be endless wars with Ruan country. By then, Brother Yan, you will be in Ruan country. I’m afraid you won’t be able to please him, and you will be angered. Plus you don’t have children to protect you, so I worry about you alone. Thinking about it alone , and then thought of a way, Gu came here this time to bring the second imperial sister, who is also Gu's younger sister, and she also intends to help Brother Yan, so Gu wants to send her in too, if she can give birth to the eldest prince first, When the time comes to adopt Brother Yan, you can be counted as someone to rely on, so as not to be taken away by others, what does Brother Yan think?"

If it is calculated that Emperor Ruan has four heirs, two will be born this year, he will not be in such a hurry, and he can wait to use Xie Yan's status as a noble concubine.

But he is a man after all, once those women's mothers are expensive by their sons, they might as well use their status as noble concubines to send their own sisters in.

It can also convey to Emperor Ruan that he really intends to make friends with Ruan Guo.

There is no man who is not greedy for beauty, what's more, although the second emperor's sister's appearance is not as good as Xie Yan's, but the woman's body is soft and boned, and she looks much more charming, so she must be able to catch the eyes of Emperor Ruan.

Xie Yan thought to himself, what does he think?Does he feel bad?

At first glance, it seems that he intends to use him to ascend to the throne, and then when he really gives birth to an heir, he will become the stepping stone for the second princess.

Xie Yan glanced at the back hall intentionally or unintentionally, and he understood that this Prince Chu must be Emperor Ruan here, otherwise, there was no one in the hall, and he did not directly mention the assassination. These words are to be said to Emperor Ruan.

Xie Yan thought of the four imperial heirs, and when he opened his mouth to refuse, he changed to, "This... Let me think about it, brother, why don't you go back first, wait for me to figure it out. I'll tell you again."

Prince Chu is not in a hurry, this time he comes, he must finish the matter before leaving.

With an in-law relationship, I don't believe that Emperor Ruan won't help him win the throne.

Prince Chu accepted it as soon as he saw it, and before he left, he took out a brocade box from his sleeve pocket and handed it over, saying that it was given to him by Xie Yan's biological mother. After the prince left, he squinted his eyes and opened it. Inside was a piece of jade pendant. Although it was of good quality, my aunt couldn't afford it. She just looked for an excuse that Prince Chu bought it himself.

Xie Yan also lost his mind, and when he saw Ruan Sheng coming out of the back hall, he opened his eyes and said coolly, "Your Majesty, your child's mother is here, do you want to send it to the palace? If you want to meet in advance, my minister At once……"

Ruan Sheng was originally in a bad mood because Xie Yan didn't directly refuse, but now hearing this, why does he feel... He walked over, with a smile in his eyes, "Mother? Why does Aifei's words sound so sour?" of? Vinegar?"

Xie Yan glanced at him: vinegar?He never eats it!
