Bastards

Cui Yu and Yang Xuan gained a lot from the willingness to talk with the old man, the Prince of England.

In addition to some secret news that is too secretive and too old, there are also the personal connections that the old man has admired and paid attention to for so many years, and has been a top leader.Most of them are civil servants, some are high-ranking officials, some are small officials, some are in Luoyang, some are local, some are loyal, some are smart, according to the old man, these people have different tempers and temperaments, but their morals are good. available.

Even with hand-to-hand competitions and detailed discussions over meals, Yang Xuan's visit to Prince Ying's Mansion was not too long. He went there in the morning and left shortly after lunch. It was a very normal guest who didn't seem too close and familiar. attitude.

In contrast, the king of Yue was much more eager.

King Yue grew up under the pampering of Emperor Taikang and Concubine Tian. He had a lot of power in the court and a high status.He also has his own personal guards, dead soldiers, who are only loyal to him and protect him.However, he has no military power.

No matter how much Emperor Taikang doted on Concubine Tian, ​​his mother and son, the military power was still firmly in his hands, and he didn't let it go at all. Even if he was the commander of a small five-city army, he was strict and didn't allow his sons to intervene.

The more he stopped, the more eager King Yue was. Of course, under Tian Guifei's orders, he didn't dare to act rashly, but now he has the opportunity... of course he must attack it!

A few days ago, the old man of the Prince of England was wayward and risked his life to touch Wang Duo. He went there immediately and helped out. The old man has to accept this favor!

Of course, this kind of favor is too little, it is impossible for the old man to stand in line, or to thank him with military power, but what if he is humble and doesn't take credit for it?What if he not only gave favors this time, but would continue to give favors in the future?

Relationship, did it come from?

King Suiyue spent a full day in Prince Ying's mansion.

I went there early in the morning, after dinner, the palace gate was about to be unlocked before returning.

What is he doing at the Prince's House?It is impossible to see the old man anytime and anywhere. The old man has just 'resurrected from the dead' and his body is weak, so he needs to take good care of it. Wang Wu personally came forward to entertain Yuan Yang, which is considered a great deal of face.

The king of Yue didn't care about women's affairs, he only knew that Wang Wu was good at medicine, and his paintings were also very good. He was respected by the Wang family...but what's the use to him?It was enough for him to put on an attitude of the prince being friendly and sincere, and submitting every detail.

But Wang Wu is not young anymore, and she still prays for the old man 'day and night', her body is a bit overwhelmed, and she gets tired after a while.

King Yue didn't mind either, and said with a smile that he wanted to chat with Shisun and Yang Zhao.After all, we are all of the same age, have a common language, the elders are tired and go to rest, we are all a family, he doesn't mind at all!

As an aristocratic daughter, Wang Wu's reception was very good, and she did not leak water. When she went out and returned to the backyard, she held Prince Ying's ear and taught her a lesson: Look at the good things you have brought!

A prince who has no skin or face, doesn't know how to wink, doesn't treat himself as an outsider, doesn't mind what he says, he doesn't mind, they mind, okay!

The Prince of England started cheating on his grandson.To assign Yang Xu to go out, be sure to greet Prince Yue!Make people feel 'at home' and 'very reluctant to leave'!If you can't do it, don't come to see him!

As for Yang Zhao, forget it, the grandson is too stupid, what should he do if he is trapped?

What can Yang Xu do?I can only straighten the corners of my clothes, the wind is rustling and the water is cold.

He has experienced so much in the past few days, his great sorrow and joy almost drove him crazy. For the first time, he wondered if his genes were not good... But grandpa has paid too much for him. He doesn't mention anything in return, just stand up and do more. There will be less guilt in his heart.

Yang Xu is different from Yang Zhao. When he is not stimulated and does not offend the bear, his brain is very easy to use. It is not at all against him to have the name of "Ru Jiang" on him. He smiles slightly, keeping a distance The friendly and distant attitude accompanied the King of Yue all day long.

He was not taken into the ditch by the king of Yue, he was not caught in a trap, and he didn't make any promises. The mission was accomplished very well!

Although the King of Yue was a little unwilling, he also knew that Prince Ying's Mansion was not so easy to break through, so he had to be patient.What's the matter, isn't he better than that Xiong Taizi?He stayed in Prince Ying's mansion for a whole day, and this alone is enough for outsiders to think about.

There are not many people who can be entertained by Prince Ying's mansion for a day. With such an 'intimacy gesture', even if the Prince of England cannot be defeated for a while, will those generals who admire the Prince of England but have nowhere to go, be willing to join in their efforts? To him?

In this way...he didn't have to take over the military power with his father, and he also had someone who could be used in his hands.I can't use it right now, but once I have the opportunity, I can quickly rise to the top and step in to control the army!

King Yue was very satisfied, and went back to the palace to discuss with Concubine Tian Gui.

……

The old man of the Prince of England recovered quickly, and the marriage of the Yang and Wang families became busy.

The first is the old man.As the old man is a prince, all kinds of rituals and battles must not be bad, even if there is a reason for the incident, the three books and six rituals go by quickly, but the battles must not be small!

The married daughter of the Wang family is still married to Wang Wu, and she is still the person who disagreed with her back then. This is almost a slap in the face of the head of the family, Wang Duo.Before, in front of everyone, I agreed, but it is impossible for him to get married smoothly, and there will be various difficulties.

As the Minister of Zongzheng Temple, Crown Prince Yang Xuan is in charge of all the affairs of the clan, weddings and weddings must be handled with one hand, so the huge pressure fell on him.

The old man of the Prince of England only pays the money, um, he also brought in two grandsons to run errands, and the rest is left to you, the prince—this king is optimistic about you!

Wang Duo made all kinds of arguments, this is wrong, that is not right, the day is bad, the time is not right, anyway, no matter what it is, he can always block one, two, three, four, five kinds of reasons.

But the prince is not afraid.

99 steps have been taken, still afraid of this trembling?What's more, he has people under his command now, he has a think tank by his side, and his own brain is not bad. As a result, he is a bit busier, and things don't delay at all!

On the day of the old man's wedding, it can be said that the alleys were empty. The people of the whole Luoyang city came to watch and congratulate. Carnival!

When it came to Yang Xu's place, Wang Duo was still making trouble, there was no precedent for a marriage between a man and a man, three books and six rituals had to be carefully considered, and the life had to be calculated by the master... All kinds of things, Yang Xuan resolved them one by one, and took care of this matter It is perfect and perfect.

Seeing the empty family temple and the yard of his grandson Wang Ji, Wang Duo burst into tears and lamented again and again.

Yang Xuan originally thought that the old man had caused so much trouble for him, so he would have to make a good joke after finishing the work, for example, he would say something like this: Why do you say you are doing this? It would have been better if you had cooperated a little bit in the past to make this work possible, so that everyone would come and go frequently, and there would still be a little bit of love...

But seeing Wang Duo like this, he shook his head, turned and left.

Nothing is worse than getting old and finally waking up from a big dream, self-doubt, self-remorse, this old man...he deserves it!

Two consecutive major events have been completed naturally, and the twelfth lunar month is approaching.

The Prince of England said that his life is happy now, and he accepts the Prince's love!Don't say anything about ancestor worship and deterrence, as long as the prince says a word, he will be very obedient and cooperative.As for the west side, it will be handed over to the grandson Yang Xu. Anyway, the relatives are also married. The husband and wife pack up their things and go to war. Forget about the second grandson Yang Zhao. He is not young, so he has to stay at home and get married first. Let's talk about it.

As for the old man himself, he said that he has a daughter-in-law, and he has no ambitions. He just wants to spend a good time with his daughter-in-law, so that he can act as a mascot obediently.

Because the Prince of England is the highest in the clan, almost everyone is watching him and acting. If he is high-profile and disobedient, everyone will not accept it. If he cooperates in a low-key manner, everyone will follow suit...

So far, Emperor Taikang's worries about the Prince of England have all been resolved, which is perfect!

Emperor Taikang looked at the prince with complicated eyes. He never expected that this son was lucky... If it was only this time, it would be fine, but if it happens again, he will not be able to suppress it.

Emperor Taikang waved his hand and handed out many rewards. The crown prince thanked him, and the position of the East Palace was stable. Slowly, there were rumors that Emperor Taikang liked the crown prince.

As soon as the prince returned to Luoyang, everyone saw the various performances. First he won the hearts of the people, and then Prince An Ying. Now the clan has been subdued, and Emperor Taikang also wants to look at him differently. The various families... seem to be very convinced, and their abilities are obvious to all.

Such a prince deserves allegiance!

It's a pity that the road ahead is always long. Solving a problem does not mean that there will be no troubles in the future. Concubine Tian Gui made a move.

For the first time, she took the initiative to take the booklet and asked Emperor Taikang for a draft!

Not to mention how humble her posture is, how worthy of others' praise, how proud Emperor Taikang is to have such a confidante, how she raised her chin in front of the courtiers, and the matter of the draft caused an uproar in the ruling and opposition parties!

Without it, Emperor Taikang has been on the throne for so long, only a group of people entered the front and rear palace in the early years, and he has never been selected for a show!

Those who had thoughts in their hearts quietly planned...

At Haishi, in Cui Yu's room, Yang Xuan and Cui Yu were sitting opposite each other, with serious expressions on their faces.

Cui Yu tapped the table with his fingertips, his eyes were serious: "What I was worried about, finally came."

It's finally here... What does this mean, he already guessed it?

Yang Xuan looked at Cui Yu with some doubts in his eyes.

"Do you still remember your analysis with me when the emperor appointed you as the head of the clan?"

Yang Xuan shook his head: "My father has scruples about the Prince of England, but he doesn't like the Prince of England. He can't control it, and the clan is also a bit chaotic. He is worried, but he doesn't think it's a big crisis, he just finds it annoying. Leave it to me. , because it is not important, it is not a great achievement if it is done well, but it can be held accountable if it is not done well.”

Cui Yu's slender fingertips twirled lightly from the table: "You also said that Concubine Tian Gui has no countermeasures, which makes you a little disappointed."

"After a few days in the palace and several fights, she didn't get anything good. I thought she would be annoyed because she didn't have such a big heart." Yang Xuan remembered the past, "You didn't express your position at the time, so it was expected that she would have a future. trick?"

Cui Yan closed his eyes slightly, and frowned slightly: "If I guessed right, she was thinking of this move at that time."

Yang Xuan looked at Cui Yu's fine white fingertips moving lightly, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he murmured: "The talent show...can add people to the emperor's palace, can choose a side concubine for the prince, and can also be used to marry important members of the clan and court! The Prince of England and the royal family have already married, breaking the marriage rules of the family, the princes... can also have side concubines from the family!"

The princes have a family daughter as a side concubine, and they will have a family to rely on, and the power to develop in the future will be even greater!

Concubine Ruotian thought of this at the time, what a scheming must it be!

Cui Yu looked at Yang Xuan, with a flash of admiration in his eyes: "Concubine Tian Gui is different from ordinary women, and she focuses more on competing for favor in the back house. It's normal that we can't see through her carefully planned scheme for a while. It's okay. There must be wind when there is wind, and we will understand it, and we will deal with it step by step."

Yang Xuan stared at Cui Yu with bright eyes, not intending to be hit at all. No matter how smart Concubine Tian Gui is, this rabbit has seen through her! "Then you—"

"I didn't say it at the time, and I wasn't sure."

Cui Yu sighed: "Your position as Minister of the Zhengsi Temple was favored by the emperor, and was urged by Concubine Tian. At that time, I thought that Concubine Tian would have a countermeasure, but I don't know what it is. Looking back now, Concubine Tian has lived in the harem for many years. She must be very clear about the matter between the Prince of England and Grandma Wang, the Prince of England and Wang Duo did not deal with each other, and it was not once or twice when they confronted each other in public. Pushing the boat along the way—the conflict between the Prince of England and Wang Duo jumped out and deepened, and it was hard to deal with it.

Yang Xuan almost broke out in sweat after thinking about it: "At the birthday banquet, I deliberately set fire at the place where Wang Wu lived in the family temple, and even persuaded Wang Duo to catch Yang Xu and Wang Ji's adultery under the guise of Wang Jie—this is to make the old man When they meet all of them, they add fuel to the flames and make a big fuss in one fell swoop..."

These all have traces in the palace. If it wasn't for Cui Yu's cleverness at the time to resolve the crisis, Wang Wu was also capable enough to escape safely. This matter would really be impossible!

"This is a series of tricks," Cui Yu slid his fingertips across the teacup, eyes drooping slightly, "If you can't resolve the crisis, you must have committed a great crime. The old man will not support you, and others will not forgive you; if you are lucky , solved the marriage between the old man and the aunt of the Wang family—it just so happened that the person surnamed Yang can marry into a family, so she will find a daughter-in-law from a family for her son to strengthen her strength—no matter what the result is, she will not lose.”

"Besides, she has this trick from the beginning, but she won't tell Emperor Taikang immediately. She will definitely wait for Emperor Taikang to get angry with you before she speaks, to strive for the best effect—"

Yang Xuan slapped the table: "This shameless old poisonous woman!" She is so good at climbing!

"Where is this?" Cui Yan thought about it, took a cup of tea and drank tea leisurely, glanced lazily at Yang Xuan, and smiled, "If my guess is right, she won't let you go like this. Look, she will let you be in charge of this draft. You are the Minister of Zongzhengsi. Adding a Ministry of Etiquette is just enough. In addition——Ah Xuan, you are not married yet. Guess what, she will arrange for you What kind of princess is she?"

Yang Xuan's back suddenly felt cold, and he looked up at his rabbit, almost startled!

His rabbit is not smiling here, his eyes are like a knife, he stabs him, and he almost asks him directly: Are you looking forward to having a princess!

Yang Xuan hurried over to coax her: "How dare I, I can't enjoy the favor of that beauty!"

Cui Yu snorted: "Oh? Did I stop His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"No, no, I don't want to!" Yang Xuan shook her head like a drum, grabbed Cui Yu's hand and gnawed hard, "With you, how can I see those vulgar fans? None of them look as good as you!"

"It turns out that it's about looking at the face..." Cui Yu deliberately elongated his voice, trying to embarrass him, "But I will grow old one day. There are so many good-looking people in this world."

Yang Xuan had a panicked expression of 'Don't scare me': "No matter how good-looking you are, it's not you! I want you alone, you can't abandon me!"

"But you are a prince, you will be a king in the future, and the matter of your heir...haven't you thought about it?"

Cui Yu lowered his eyes and sighed. This sentence was partly due to the situation and partly a test.

Speaking of which, they have never talked about this issue after getting along for so long.In her previous life, Yang Xuan didn't marry a wife, and she didn't have a concubine around her, but at that time, Yang Xuan was a snake maniac, and she couldn't be deduced by common sense. In this life, the little wolf dog looks good, I don't know if it will...

Yang Xuanle was a little unhappy, so she put on a straight face: "In your heart, I'm just that superficial ordinary person, don't I deserve a little high realm?"

Cui Yu was stunned, and looked up at him in a daze.

Yang Xuan cupped his face, slowly leaned forward, and kissed him reverently.

"In this life, I only wish to be with Qingqing as a companion."

Being so close, his eyes are full of the reflection of the other party, how can Cui Yu not feel the strong and sincere love of the other party!My heart skipped a few beats!

Yang Xuan looked at him fixedly: "I don't like anyone inserting between you and me, no matter if it's a man, a woman, or a child...no one will do. I won't find anyone else, and I won't leave seeds for my children, Qingqing... ...Neither do you, okay? In this life, you are only facing me, and you are the only one in your heart, okay? "

Cui Yu looked at him, looked at him, laughed out loud, put his hands over his shoulders, put his arms around his neck, pulled him down, and kissed him lightly: "...OK."

How could he have forgotten that Yang Xuan loves him, just as he loves Yang Xuan, he will worry about Yang Xuan marrying wives and taking concubines for his children, how can Yang Xuan not worry about him?

After all, everyone is a man, and it is a patriarchal society. Men and women think differently and do things differently...

But above male power, there is monarchy.

Cui Yu asked vaguely: "What about your prince? What should we do?"

Yang Xuan was a little dissatisfied with his half-heartedness. She grabbed the back of his head and kissed him possessively: "There are so many clan sons... Didn't Prince Ying take a fancy to Cui Ying? Ask her to give us a prince..."

These days, I have been very busy because of Prince Ying's affairs. Now that the matter is finally over and I have some free time, Yang Xuan hugged Cui Yu, a little distracted, kissed him, and his breathing became disordered, and his hands began to reach under Cui Yu's clothes. ——

"Nephew, nephew, beautiful nephew, come out and see, it's snowing!"

Yang Xuan's hands froze violently, it's the little uncle again!

How come back so punctual!Could it be that he was specifically staring at him!

Can you let him go!He worked really hard!

Cui Yan pushed him away with a smile: "Okay, you've been busy for so long, you should take a good rest, this kind of thing," he coughed, with a slightly unnatural expression, "There will be a long time to come."

"Tomorrow..." I don't know what Yang Xuan heard, her eyeballs were red, and her eyes were burning hot.

Cui Yu changed the subject, pointed outside with a smile: "This year's first snow, don't you want to enjoy it with me?"

……

Concubine Tian Guifei followed the guideline of 'If you make me uncomfortable, I will make you even more uncomfortable', and she really persuaded Emperor Taikang to hand over the draft to Yang Xuan.

She also made everyone uncomfortable, so don't even think about having a good year, so she just made a list and set a date. After the Lantern Festival next year, all the show girls must be in place!

If the girl at home is not in Luoyang, hurry up to pick it up, you have to hurry if the snow blocks the road, even if you are alone on the road on New Year’s Eve, you still have to come to Luoyang!The girl in the family is in Luoyang, no matter what the family members are thinking, hurry up and ask the foster mother to teach the girl how to behave!

Time is tight and tasks are heavy. If you want to make progress, you need to have rules.

For Yang Xuan and Cui Yu, these were not big matters. Yang Xuan took over the matter and followed the procedures. What should be wary of is after Xiu Nu enters the palace, not now.

However, Imperial Concubine Tian didn't let them have a good time, Cui Ying's name was on the show girl list!

Ordinarily, in the imperial palace draft, all the show girls are born with grade requirements. From various aristocratic families, unmarried girls of the right age must definitely be selected, but Cui Ying's parents died young, and there is only one uncle in the family who is a fourth-rank official. Well, this I don't know who offended this uncle a few days ago, and was demoted to a fifth-rank official.

In the imperial capital, for the fifth-rank officials, if a tile falls, several of them may be hit, so what is that official Cui Zheng?

As for Cui Yu, no matter how half-immortal he is, the world trusts and praises him a lot. After all, he has not entered an official career and is separated from Cui Ying. It is impossible for Cui Ying to have this position.

After much deliberation... only King Chang.

King Chang was interested in Cui Ying because the fat man of the Tian family attracted him. Later, Yang Xuan dealt with him. King Chang didn't have a lackey to help him with this matter, so he had to stop. Now is he thinking again?

I don't know if the missing teeth have been filled?Do you still remember the pain?

The list of Concubine Tian has Cui Ying written in a big slash, so he must have known about it and acquiesced. Do you think this is also a way to win over Cui Yu?You think the prince is honorable, and if you want it, you have to give it to sister Tui with a face full of joy?

Cui Yu immediately crumpled the letter paper and threw it into the brazier, sneered: "Dream!"
