Bastards

If you offend a noble princess, the good situation of being an ally of many countries may be lost, and you will become enemies of many countries...

How to do?

Of course it is to save immediately!

Emperor Taikang winked at the prince.

Aren't you on good terms with her?Hurry up and say nice things to coax people!

Persevering, although Her Royal Highness Princess maintained etiquette and smiled, she was very angry in her heart.

How angry is it?She refused to communicate with Yang Xuan, and only looked at Emperor Taikang, waiting for the emperor's reply.He didn't get a response within two breaths, snorted, turned around and left.

The beautiful braids and flying red skirt are the last silhouette she left for everyone.

Emperor Taikang was in a hurry: "I can't let her go like this, hurry up, Prince—"

"emperor--"

Cui Yu stood up and bowed to Emperor Taikang: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Your Highness is temporarily staying at my next home, and I can talk and relax. The most important thing now is to quickly discuss a charter on how to receive this lady." Princess……"

This is on point!

Emperor Taikang's eyelids drooped slightly, and his hands behind his back were tightly clenched into fists.

No matter how honorable Princess Mohe is, she has no property or power in Da'an. Now that she is staying at Cui Yu's house, where can she go?Where will it go?Surely it will not lose its trace.The princess was in a fit of anger, so she ignored the prince, and it was useless to let him chase after her. Why don't you just stop, and the prince can help him by the way.

The princess came to Luoyang in a low-key manner. It was fine that he, the emperor, didn't know about it before, but when the incident was revealed today, he couldn't pretend he didn't see it.The princess came with a letter of credence, so Da'an naturally had to show the etiquette of receiving a national envoy, so that he could hold a state banquet to entertain the princess, and at the same time clean up the embassy immediately, and invite the princess to live in as soon as the affairs are ready.

I have to wipe my son's ass.

How important is the reputation of the daughter of the boudoir. Today, the king of Yue County pointed her nose and scolded her as a lowly woman. Not to mention the princess, ordinary girls can't do it.Even if Abu Keer is generous, I don't care, but being scolded in front of so many people, she has to be responsible for her princess status and the face of her country, not only has to care, but also has to care...

It is impossible to just find a reason to prevaricate, no matter what, there will be some blood!

Emperor Taikang gave King Yue a hard look.

Originally, the prince was capable, and Princess Mohe came to Luoyang in person, so he was able to catch up with the other party. At least he could stretch his face, and his face was bright. Now he is fine, and he wants to be a grandson to make up for it!People may not fully accept it yet!

All of the above, it takes time to prepare, and it is impossible to do it right now.

Emperor Taikang looked at Cui Yu, and was very grateful: "You are fine, I hope you can help me with this matter."

Cui Yu's expression was serious, and he saluted solemnly: "I have experienced the world of mortals, cultivated my mind and body, and have nothing to ask for, but hope for peace and stability, and the country will continue forever. Don't worry, the emperor, Cao will do his best to persuade the princess to restore the relationship between the two countries!"

After finishing speaking, he also left resolutely, with the corners of his robe fluttering and his demeanor fluttering.

Those left in the room are their own people.

Emperor Taikang stared at King Yuejun, his eyes twitching: "Drag this villain down here!"

His gaze inadvertently slid across the scattered chairs on the ground, remembering the reaction of King Yue who seemed prepared, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and added: "He is not allowed to see the noble concubine!"

"Yes!"

The guards immediately stepped forward and carried Yuejun Wang away.

In an instant, only Emperor Taikang and the prince were left in the room.

Emperor Taikang was a little embarrassed.

Without it, the king of Yue County behaved today, as if he was signaling that he would come together to catch the prince's traitor.

"I heard that you have a surprise for me."

It sounds specious to throw the pot away.

Yang Xuan clasped his hands and drooped his eyes, and said, "Originally there were."

Saying these words at this time and on this occasion should not be too obvious. Princess Mohe, a foreign covenant is the surprise he prepared.

Emperor Taikang choked for a moment, he couldn't continue talking today!

Yang Xuan didn't want to chat with him too much, so he asked seriously, "Father, what should we do next?"

"What else can I do? Go back to the palace immediately, call the ministers to hold a small court, and discuss the matter of welcoming the princess!" Emperor Taikang did not delay, and instructed the crown prince, "You know Mohe best, so I will meet with the ministers together this time, and discuss the matter." Good strategy, don't be lazy, don't run around, always serve me!"

"Yes!"

……

Abu Keer trotted back to Cui's house and waited for a long time before Cui Yu came back.

She immediately jumped forward, shaking her skirt, and asked excitedly: "How am I doing? Do I look like the various savage princesses recorded in history books, especially imposing?"

"Yes, yes," Cui Yu raised his eyebrows and smiled while drinking tea to quench his thirst, "Our princess Ke'er is so unruly and capricious, so it's not easy to provoke her."

"That's right! I'm in charge, and there's still something that can't be fixed?" Abu Ke'er was happy, suddenly tilted his head, and rolled his big eyes, "Wait, why do I think this is not a good thing... ..."

"Nectar custard is here—"

Before Abu Keer could think about it, Cui Ying came with a freshly made snack. She cheered, and immediately forgot about it, ran to take the tray in Cui Ying's hand, pinched one and put it in her mouth put.

"Well, it's so thick! Just plain taste!"

Cui Ying likes to cook, and nothing satisfies her more than what her family and friends like. She pulls Abu Keer to sit at the table and pours a cup of warm tea for Abu Keer: "You like this, you must also I like Tuan Diao Cake, next time I will make that for you to taste..."

Abu Keer was almost moved to tears, Huhu hugged Cui Ying: "Yingying, you are so kind! How can I live without you!"

Cui Ying was a little shy when she was squeezed by the princess' big breasts.

Cui Mata: ...With food, don't you even want Guan San?

……

In the palace, Emperor Taikang brought the crown prince together to discuss with the ministers the rules for the reception of Princess Mohe, and to think about the crisis public relations that the King of Yue had provoked the princess.

This matter was too important and too urgent, Emperor Taikang and the crown prince sat in the front hall all the time, in the middle of the afternoon and the whole night, without rest, and did not send the ministers back, even the meals were served in the front hall.

Emperor Taikang did not go to the harem, and the king of Yuejun was temporarily imprisoned. He was allowed to treat the wounds with medicine, but he was not allowed to meet with the noble concubine Tian. The atmosphere in the palace was tense. talk.

The guards who traveled with Emperor Taikang were even more loyal to Emperor Taikang, and they were so tight-lipped that it was impossible to tell the outside world what they had encountered or what they had seen today.

Concubine Suitian knew nothing about the current situation.

All she knew was that she was full of anticipation, waiting for her eldest son to return in victory, and when the second phase of the attack started, Emperor Taikang suddenly returned to the palace with only the prince with him. Where is her son?Didn't see it!

She sent someone to inquire, but there was no reply.

It's wrong to think about it with your knees...

This half day plus one night, no one else slept, and she didn't sleep either.She sent out the most capable subordinates to inquire about the news, and even hired an elite subordinate for this reason, and finally inquired clearly at dawn.

Then Abu Keer turned out to be Princess Mohe?

How can it be!

Isn't she the prince's little lover!

Impossible...impossible...this must be the prince's trick...it must be fake!

Concubine Tian Gui fell down on the imperial concubine couch, shaking her hands to get the teacup, and poured her stomach full of herbal tea before she calmed down.

These days, she has investigated the prince deeply, and also combed through the clues of previous years, and found a lot of evidence.This prince is really unusual, he actually stayed at the border!She captured Cui Mata, and Cui Mata was rescued, showing the power of the River Gang. Now look, bah, whoever rescued the people from the River Gang, Cui Mata belongs to the prince, and the River Gang must belong to the prince!The prince has fooled everyone!

How could such a scheming person be reckless, incompetent, and ignorant of precautions?I think it's because she has been acting frequently recently, and she was found out, so they will use their tricks and get revenge on her!

She could almost see the mocking smile on the prince's face through the countless palace walls...

hateful! !hateful! !

Concubine Tian Gui trembled with anger, and threw the small table in front of her.

"Whoa-"

Teapots, cups and plates were broken all over the floor.

Concubine Tian Gui gnashed her teeth and stared at the pink and white ceramic tiles on the ground, her nails dug deep into her flesh, she kept reminding herself: "Calm down, calm down, calm down!"

The game has been done, and the eldest son has caused trouble. The action has not stopped until now. Stopping is a dead word.Princess Mohe wanted Da'an to give an explanation, and what explanation Taikang Emperor would give, one didn't have to think about it.

She and the eldest son must be sacrificed.

She can't let this happen.

She must hurry up and come up with a way to turn back this round and smash the prince to death!This time, either she was unlucky, or the prince was out!

Then Abu Ke'er can't be a princess, she has to be!

Concubine Tian Gui walked around the room like a beast for a long time, and slowly, her pace slowed down, her eyes narrowed dangerously, and the corners of her lips curled into a sarcasm.

Now that we have come to this point, everyone might as well fight face to face with real swords and guns to see who is better!

Isn't there a state banquet for the princess tomorrow?

Very good, it's an opportunity, such a big occasion, how can we not invite more people, let's have fun together, and join in the grand event!

……

At noon on this day, Emperor Taikang personally presided over a grand state banquet with all kinds of large-scale battles, and specially invited Abu Keer and the princess to show his face.

The princess must have appreciated the noodles, not to mention the company of Cui Yu, the prince looked at it, just so many delicacies... It's a pity to let it down, you say so.

Of course, the style of the princess still needs to be full.

Cui Ying personally puts on makeup for her best friend, chooses the right clothes and jewelry, and makes sure that when Abu Keer appears, she will be glamorous, extravagant, blinding, and full of distance. She strikes up!

Abu Ke'er is very satisfied, and is also very satisfied with the effect produced in the palace, so that everyone dare not talk to her casually, and she can feast on it!

Cui Yan looked at Abu Ke'er with a cold smile one moment, and scooped up a full spoonful of meat the next moment, touching his forehead and sighing.

Fortunately, this princess still remembers her identity, she sits upright, her temperament is dignified and graceful, and she eats elegantly, making people completely ignore the big spoon in her hand...

Since this palace banquet is to welcome Princess Mohe, there is no need for Emperor Taikang to remind, everyone present knows to make the atmosphere lively, all kinds of toasts, innocuous games, please watch a court dance, no matter whether the princess thinks it is hot or not Lively, if they want to participate, they have to get lively first.

If the princess is willing to participate, such as learning a whip and sword technique, she can do it by herself. If the princess is not willing to participate, she doesn't need to say it herself, and she doesn't even need to give a special look. The prince will stand up and block it for her.

In short, this palace banquet, up to now, can be regarded as a joy for both guests and hosts.

Emperor Taikang was very satisfied.

Once everyone has a drink and gets closer, you can let go of any troublesome things to explain.Exemption is naturally inevitable, but it is necessary to be able to speak well and reduce the impact of punishment.

There is a saying that extreme joy begets sorrow, Emperor Taikang was not yet extremely happy, someone jumped out and made him feel sad.

After drinking for three rounds, someone got too drunk and came out with a flagon to scold people.

"Son, Cui Yu! You are a swindler! Killed my sister, how can you still have the face to attend the palace banquet?"

The hall was suddenly silent.

Everyone looked at the man carrying the flagon together.

This man drank a little too much, his face was reddish, and he smelled of alcohol all over his body, but he walked without crookedness, and he didn't speak with a big tongue. He knew it, and he still had a bit of reason.They are all from Luoyang, many people present know this person, he is Tao Yingqing, the son of one of the eight small aristocratic families, the Tao family.

Those who are familiar with gossip gossip, also popularize the relationship between this person and Cui Yu with people around him.

Tao Yingqing's direct sister, Tao Chuchu, had discussed marriage with Cui Yu. At the Wang family's autumn banquet, she was picked on by Cui Yu's younger uncle, Cui Shu, and showed her appearance.That Tao Chuchu and his cousin are in love with each other, they have already been married, and they even have a secret knot!

When this matter was exposed with great fanfare, the marriage naturally failed, and the reputation of the Tao family plummeted.

And a few days ago, Tao Yingqing's cousin, Tao Xixi, suddenly spoke up and spared no effort to smear Cui Yu, not only saying that Cui Yu was a charlatan and misbehaving in various ways, but that she had been interested in her since she was 12 years old!

Why do you say it is smearing?Anyone with a discerning eye can see that if you really wanted to bully you that much, why didn't you say it before, and then suddenly jumped out after so long, regardless of your reputation, and corrected you in person?It's so fierce and evil, there must be something wrong!

Sure enough, this Tao Xixi was quickly skinned, and she had already made a private engagement with the actor for life.

Right now, Tao Yingqing jumped out and said that Cui Yu killed his sister, which one was it?

Then Tao Chuchu was married a long time ago, stayed far away from Luoyang, and never heard the news again, so it should be Tao Xixi?

Tao Yingqing walked up to Cui Yu, poured wine into his mouth, and said with stern eyes: "You have the ability to deceive people, but you will pay for your life! Can you get away with a good relationship with the princess? What is the law of heaven, what is the law of the king! "

He threw the jug on the ground with a "snap", knelt down and kowtowed: "Please ask the emperor to make decisions for the people! Please check clearly!"

The veins on Taikang Emperor's forehead popped out of anger, who put such a thing in!

He didn't want the good situation to be ruined, and he couldn't just listen to a drunk, so he dealt with Cui Yu, who had a good relationship with Abu Ke'er, and gestured to the old eunuch with his eyes.

Unexpectedly, when Tao Yingqing saw someone coming to pull it, she immediately took out a packet of powder from her bosom, opened it, and put it in her mouth as if to put it: "Don't come here, I'll eat this packet of poison!"

The guards stopped immediately.

Emperor Taikang's face instantly turned black.

He can't make jokes in front of Princess Mohe, let alone disregard human lives!

He waved his hand and told the guards to step back.

"Where's the noble concubine? Didn't she ask her to greet the female relatives? Since it's a woman's business, come and bring Tao Yingqing to the noble concubine!"

It is customary for Concubine Tian to sit beside Emperor Taikang in such a big scene. This time, because of the conflict between King Yue County and Abu Keer, Emperor Taikang was worried and did not want Concubine Tian to come forward.

He didn't want people to come forward, so he didn't tell the truth, but separated the female relatives in the banquet and let Concubine Tian Gui take care of them later.

In the past, things like this could always be both. Concubine Tian Gui had various ways to satisfy everyone. This time, even the princesses she entertained were female relatives. Emperor Taikang did this on purpose. Everyone knew what he was thinking.

Concubine Tian Gui didn't cry or make trouble, she took the errand quietly, Emperor Taikang was quite satisfied, and felt that this time, Concubine Tian Gui would definitely live up to his trust and handle the matter well.

As a result, he miscalculated.

A little eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty... the imperial concubine, you are just outside the palace, waiting to be summoned!"

Emperor Taikang frowned, what is she doing here?

But with so many people watching, he couldn't just drive them back.

"Let her in."

Concubine Tian Gui came in, walked up to Emperor Taikang, and saluted.

"The concubine is incompetent. The old lady of the Tao family started to make a fuss, and she couldn't calm it down. She said it was..." She seemed to have just seen Tao Yingqing's posture of holding the poison and was about to smash it, and immediately shut up.

But if she shuts up again, everyone will understand what she is trying to say.

They are all from the Tao family, so the trouble must be the same!

Emperor Taikang frowned, and expressed his dissatisfaction with Concubine Tian for the first time: "There is a little misunderstanding, let's make it clear, why are you making trouble at the state banquet?"

"The concubine is guilty..." Tian Guifei saluted again, her face turned pale when she raised her head, she was pitiful, she had no momentum, no confidence, "the concubine really has no choice..."

Emperor Taikang sighed inwardly.

No wonder she.

In the harem, the emperor's favor is the weather vane. With his favor, Concubine Tian Gui, her two sons have always been in the limelight and can do anything. But now, her youngest son has been turned into a bald prince and locked in the sky prison. I don't know if I can come out; although the eldest son is only locked in the palace, he also sent people to guard him to death, and offended Princess Mohe, he can't even participate in such a state banquet, which seems to be unlucky; If you can't participate, how can you not let outsiders look down upon you?

Without love, without son, without power, no matter how smart he is, he can't convince others.

Concubine Tian Gui's voice was faint: "The concubine is thinking, the more reasoned the argument, the clearer the truth, the clearer the theory, rather than avoiding it, it's better to speak clearly. With the emperor's golden mouth to make a verdict, who would dare not listen?"

Having been together for many years, she knows best how to influence Emperor Taikang's thinking with various expressions, demeanors, and subtle voices: "The royal family has no selfish affairs, everything can be revealed, why not the subjects? If this matter is suppressed today, will anyone discuss it?" The emperor is intentionally partial? The concubine sees that His Royal Highness is a generous person, and she will not mind Da'an's rudeness. The alliance between Mohe and Da'an must also want an ally who is clear and honest, not a flowery bunch of flowers, showing false appearances, The cold royal family who can't get along with each other. In this world, who can be perfect?"

"But as long as there is no ghost in his heart, anyone can stand upright and stand under the sun!"

Concubine Tian Guifei's performance was really wonderful, and Cui Yu almost couldn't help applauding for her.How could he fail to guess what kind of game this is after the play has been played up to now?

He soothed the prince with a wink, with a trace of hostility in his brows and eyes, who was obviously mad, and then glanced at Abu Ke, who was watching happily while scooping up vegetables with a spoon. Son.

Since everyone is looking forward to it and a war is inevitable, let's come!

If you have a plan, you know that I have no back-up!

Cui Yu straightened the corners of his clothes, stood up calmly, walked to the middle of the hall, and saluted with his hands: "When someone slanders you so much, even if the emperor intends to make peace, I am not willing to do so. I would like to confront you in court, and I ask for the emperor's permission!"

Emperor Taikang breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't want to lose face, and he didn't want to offend Cui Yu too much. Not to mention that this person has the title of half-celestial being, even the relationship with Princess Mohe had to be carefully thought out by him.

Cui Yu took the initiative to stand up, and said that he intended to speak out and was unwilling, which was to give him a step down and put the responsibility on himself!

"I'm ready!"

Emperor Taikang immediately yelled loudly: "Then Tao Yingqing, you stand up and confront Cui Yu!"

Tao Yingqing held the poison in his hand, gritted his teeth and stood up, facing Cui Yu: "If you hurt my sister, you have to—"

Cui Yu cut him off: "Brother, what you said is funny, keep your mouth shut, I killed someone, may I ask who did I kill?"

"My cousin, Tao Xixi!"

"Is it true that your cousin is dead?"

"Naturally! If I'm not dead, how could I be unreasonable and ask you to pay for my life!"

"Dead..." Cui Yu looked at Tao Yingqing, narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes suddenly became sharper, "When did he die? When? What was the environment like when he died? Are there any witnesses? Has anyone found the murder weapon and murdered him?" Motivation, can you invite someone to conduct an autopsy and issue an autopsy report? Can you report to the officials, ask the officials to arrest the head to find clues, investigate the social relationship of the deceased, and ask for the alibi of the person involved in the incident?"

Tao Yingqing was a little dumbfounded, he didn't know whether he was dumbfounded by the question, or was intimidated by Cui Yu's sudden burst of aura, subconsciously replied: "No..."

"There is nothing, and you accuse me of killing people? If you open your mouth with Brother Tao, you will be the king of the world, and the world is right?" Cui Yu sneered, "If this is the case, we in Da'an don't need to set up any punishment department and send any officials. Just ask Brother Tao, and you will know all about the criminals in the world!"
