Bastards

It is snowing outside.

Light snow falls, falling from the sky, not too dense, continuous and scattered, neither rush nor slow, falling on the branches, on the eaves, on the shoulders of people's hair, there is white mist in the breath, but it is strangely not cold .

"Come."

Yang Xuan stretched out his big hand, held Cui Yu, and led him forward side by side.

The field of vision was slowly covered by white, the sky and the earth became empty and lofty, and it was extremely quiet, as if there was only the road under your feet, and you could only hear each other's voices in your ears.

The heart also calmed down.

Cui Yu took two deep breaths.

Yang Xuan turned her head to look at him: "What's wrong?"

Cui Mata raised his head slightly.

Yang Xuan was taller than him, from his field of vision, the first thing he saw was Yang Xuan's hard jaw line, high nose bridge, and sword-shaped eyebrows.

At this moment, the brows of this person are slightly drawn, and the corners of the lips are slightly pursed, as if he is observing where he is uncomfortable, whether it is too cold or the road is slippery, or the shoes are not chosen properly, making it uncomfortable to walk.

Cui Mata couldn't help laughing.

His Prince Xiong is like this every time, making him feel warm and heartwarming.

His Prince Xiong is actually a handsome guy, with facial features, eyebrows and eyes, every part of him is very straight, very good, separate is delicate and eye-catching, and when combined, he is extremely domineering and imposing.

There is no one who loves him like Yang Xuan, and there is no one who makes him deeply attached to him and never wants to let him go for the rest of his life.

"It's nothing, I just think the road is a bit long."

It seems to be able to walk for a lifetime.

He and Yang Xuan, forever and ever, go on like this.

Yang Xuan failed to comprehend Cui Yu's sensibility at this moment, and pointed to the palace wall of the palace not far away: "It's very close. No need to sit in a sedan chair."

Tired of walking after such a short journey?

He looked at Cui Yu with some worry, whether he was still sick and his body was still a little weak!

Cui Yu... Cui Yu suddenly didn't want to talk to Yang Xuan.

Just as he was about to reach the gate of Huangzhuang, he withdrew his hand and pushed Yang Xuan away indifferently: "I'm fine by myself, the Crown Prince will go and get busy."

Yang Xuan: ...

What's wrong with this?

However, he could tell that Cui Yu was not really angry with him, and there was nothing wrong with his face or voice. Calling him "His Royal Highness" was not indifferent, but a kind of ridicule.Besides, I'm going to be really busy...

He rubbed Cui Yu's head: "Then I'll go now, I can't take care of you today, you take care of yourself, you know all my people, call them if you need something, you know?"

Cui Yu slapped his hand away in disgust, and snorted.

The small appearance is very attractive.

Yang Xuan quickly looked around and saw that no one noticed, so she pressed Cui Yu on the back of the head and gave him a deep kiss.

His big baby, most of the time is calm and self-sufficient, occasionally tempted by evildoers, like this arrogant, or act like a baby, very rarely, every time I see it, I can't help it...

"Hmm... you slow down..."

Cui Yu became really angry and slapped Yang Xuan on the back hard.

It's not that he can't lose face and let go, but can this bear see the timing!

A long kiss, Cui Mata didn't stop until his face was red and his ears were hot, and he couldn't breathe.

Yang Xuan reluctantly touched Cui Yu's face: "When the work is over, your man will take good care of you..."

Cui Mata gasped and stared at him.

Yang Xuan leaned over and took another bite, the sound was quite loud.

After that, he jumped far away all of a sudden, and winked at Cui Mata in a ruffian way: "I'm really gone now!"

Cui Mata: ...

After his hot face and ears cooled down again, and his breathing eased, Cui Yu straightened his clothes, walked around the outer wall, and walked to the gate of Huangzhuang.

After handing over the post, the concierge immediately invited him in, and after a while, the person responsible for guiding him arrived.

Still an acquaintance.

Xiang Ling bowed her hands gracefully, with a gentle smile on her lips, her complexion soothed, even the rosy color in her eyes faded, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.

"Sir, please come with me."

Cui Yan followed him for a while, and when he saw no one around, he asked softly, "Why are you here to do this?"

Responsible for picking up guests?

The item is well maintained, and the smile is very sincere: "I am only responsible for picking up the young master."

Cui Yu understood now, it must have been arranged by Yang Xuan!

Sure enough, the next sentence of Xiang Ling was: "Your Highness has something to say, please ensure the safety of your son."

Cui Yu was not used to hearing his son coming and going, he was so nice to his little uncle, sooner or later he was a member of the Cui family, and Cui Yu smiled sincerely: "Just call me by my name, don't be so polite."

Xiang Ling blinked, and answered very smoothly: "Okay."

It was only then that Cui Yu realized that it wasn't because this order was playing some secret game with the little uncle...

But it has nothing to do with him, those who don't know don't blame him, is he still young... cough cough!At least a generation younger!

"What is the process of today's palace banquet?"

Xiang Ling led him to sit in a warm pavilion: "The palace banquet is held in the Huangzhuang. The emperor means that it is more relaxed and casual, and there is no specific requirement on the time. Before the banquet starts, everyone can sit and have fun together. It’s only when the banquet is in full swing that the auspicious time will officially leave. During this period, the emperor’s concubine Tian will appear in front of people from time to time, chatting with everyone, summarizing this year, and looking forward to the next year..."

Cui Yu understood: "That is to say, there is no specific process."

Xiang Ling nodded: "That's right."

"Is anyone here now?"

"Since the emperor has spoken, how can the ministers not respond positively? There are already many adults in the side hall, and the female relatives have gathered around the stove, talking to each other..."

After Xiang Ling finished speaking, he added another sentence: "The old lady sits with Prince Ying and Princess Ying, and Miss Cui Ying is by her side, so she won't be wronged or disadvantaged."

Cui Yu was completely relieved now.

Grandmother and Wang Wu were together, and Cui Ying was tied up again. Regardless of status or temper, no one can do it wrong.

Say something sour at best.

The address of today's palace banquet was arranged by their ingenious suggestion, they took a deliberate turn, and got the votes of the courtiers to discuss.Looking at it now, the degree of completion is not bad. Regardless of Emperor Taikang's concubine Tian or the ministers, they all like this set. Because it is close to Tianze Temple, monk Ashina Huyunna has no way to refuse.

It's a good sign that it opened so smoothly.

Cui Yan squinted and looked at Xiaoxue outside the window, thinking that it was a good idea to make trouble today.

Although Prince Chang was released from the prison, he still has personal restrictions. He can only stay in the place designated by Emperor Taikang and meet people approved by Emperor Taikang.As for Prince Yue, his injury has already healed, and the foot restraint order has gone. To avoid Emperor Taikang's embarrassment, he still didn't dare to jump, and cultivated his morals obediently, trying to regain his former image and restore the relationship between father and son.

The two of them are still bald princes, and they have no advantage over the prince.

Concubine Tian, ​​from her current position, knows that she is also very wronged compared to the past.

It is impossible for the three mother and son to just sit still and not think about anything else, they will definitely move.

This palace banquet is a good opportunity.

With so many ministers and so many contacts, there is a lot to do in acting or in courting.

Ashina Huyun will also come.

Regardless of whether he has a purpose or not, Concubine Tian will definitely not let go of this opportunity to meet.

Therefore, the first step of the plan that Cui Yu discussed with Yang Xuan's team was to stand still and wait for a while to see if these people have anything to do. If so, maybe they haven't taken the opportunity to get something fresher, more direct, and more powerful. Something more irritating.

"If you have something to do, you can do your best. I will sit here and watch the changes."

Today's situation does not require his special performance. He helps to check the news from around, check for omissions and make up for gaps, so as not to let the overall situation deviate.

Xiang Ling thought for a moment: "Okay, I'll send someone to send a message at any time."

……

Of course Concubine Tian had an idea in mind.

All the ministers gathered together, on a big day when the court situation is closely related, how can she do nothing if she doesn't do something!

If you don't work hard, how can your son be the emperor?

She has to stand up and let everyone see clearly that her status as Tian Ru is unique, the emperor's favorite is stable, and she is indispensable in the future!

In addition, Ashina Huyun is coming, and I have something to talk to him about...

Concubine Tian made a very high-profile appearance.

Holding Emperor Taikang's hand, she walked towards the courtiers together with Emperor Taikang, with a pleasant smile, graceful gait, graceful and graceful posture, and her posture was almost the same as that of the mother of the country.

Although the position is still concubine, there is no increase, but Fengchai, she also wears it on her head.The whole body is made of red gold, and the interior is made of new styles. It is bright and ostentatious, and every step it takes is shining with golden light, as if worried that others will be blind and not notice it.

Seeing that Emperor Taikang was happy, touching her hand with a satisfied expression on his face, he knew that this hairpin was his own consent, and it was not considered a violation of the rules.

The corners of Yang Xuan's lips lifted slightly, and he secretly smiled in his heart.

It looks very beautiful, yes, but I don't know what to exchange for this beautiful scenery in secret?

These days, Concubine Tian served Emperor Taikang, perhaps it was very hard to serve him.

Concubine Tian not only made a high-profile appearance and showed off her love, but she also restored her previous IQ level, greeted the ministers and female relatives, followed Taikang Emperor's gaze, the topic direction followed to expand the focus, responded positively, and was comprehensive, long-sleeved and dancing, caring for all In order to save face, the atmosphere of the place was perfectly adjusted.

Not only does she look like a hostess, but she also behaves appropriately!

Emperor Taikang was very satisfied.

It seems that the banquet hosted by Princess Mohe last time was just out of order, and Concubine Tian is still very considerate.

Is that how it should be?

If in the future, Concubine Tian is as well-behaved and sensible as before, then she can't be promoted back for this role.

Satisfied, Emperor Taikang looked at Concubine Tian with softer eyes.

Concubine Tian felt it, her cheeks were slightly red, and when outsiders were not paying attention, she quietly cast a look of anger and coquettishness over her.

Emperor Taikang's gaze became even hotter.

Concubine Tian was so happy that she felt that the situation was good, and of course she would not forget her two sons.When the right time comes, she will call the two sons out to show off, show their performance, pour a drink for Taikang Emperor, drink a drink for Taikang Emperor with a certain courtier, similar things are too numerous to mention.

The three of mother and son were quite lively.

On the other hand, the prince sat alone, except for talking to people who had been in contact with him on weekdays or because of business, he hardly moved.

No one tried to get close, to make friends with the prince, and to talk.

It looks like... a little pathetic?

However, for the heir of the throne, it is better to be dignified and serious.A capable person, what to do, what not to do, there are rules and regulations, what is His Royal Highness Prince Xu thinking about the livelihood of the people?

The ministers hate and love such a crown prince, but there is one thing that everyone agrees that it must be a good thing for such a crown prince to be in the Daan world.

Anyway, the two princes of Yuechang are so light-boned, who have a title with their nostrils upturned, but who don't have a title and want to nod and bow to the ministers, trying to brush up their reputation for being friendly and easy-going. They really, don't want to help them at all.

Although these two are in power, they are not capable enough, and the courtiers are easy to deal with, but now it is not a dynasty full of carrion, and the ministers also have goals, okay?

Concubine Tian completed her favor with the emperor's favored son according to the plan in her heart, and began to think of ways to piss off Yang Xuan.

In the past, she didn't have enough information to figure it out, but now, she understands that the prince and Cui Yu are very good friends, and looking at the closeness, they are afraid that the love is in full swing, and no one else can get in.

"With the emperor's wise leadership, our Da'an is getting better every year, the weather is smooth, the river is clear and the sea is clean, it is really a blessing for the people, a blessing for the subjects!"

Concubine Tian smiled sweetly and flattered Emperor Taikang so much that she was so happy, she slanted her eyes and glanced in the direction of the prince with a slight smile.

Yang Xuan understood that this woman was going to be a demon.

He still held his wine glass in a relaxed manner, keeping his composure.

Anyway, no matter what she does, she will be unlucky later.The more joyful the torture now, the more embarrassing it will be later.

"The concubine has two sons. The elder one has both sons and daughters. In less than two years, the daughter will say goodbye. As for the younger one, the husband and wife are loving and harmonious. It won't be long before there will be good news. It's all thanks to the emperor's blessing." Woolen cloth!"

Concubine Tian cast a wink at Emperor Taikang, frowned artificially, and sighed: "The only thing my concubine is worried about is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Although His Royal Highness may have misunderstood the concubine and didn't want to get close to him, but before my sister passed away, she held the concubine's hand and entrusted the concubine to take good care of the prince. Now that the prince has grown up, there is no one around... ..."

She held it all in her hands: "This concubine's heart hurts just thinking about it!"

"Your Majesty, you want to train His Highness the Crown Prince and let His Highness grow up. The courtiers understand it in their hearts, but the Crown Prince is so poor. Will outsiders talk about it? Your Majesty, if you don't worry about it anymore, the courtiers will understand it. No more!"

There are thorns in this word.

Outsiders chew their tongues?

Chewing what?

The reason why the prince didn't get married was because of a hidden disease?Inhumane?Or some other unspeakable reason?

Emperor Taikang looked at Yang Xuan, pondered for a moment, and said, "It's about time."

I used to hate it and didn't want to care about it, but now this son is not bad, he can't lose money.

Concubine Tian became active: "Then how about the concubine helping to pick someone? The concubine knows best about the unmarried daughters of each family!"

She raised her slender palms and counted them one by one: "There is a girl from the Zhu family, she is sixteen years old, she is charming and charming, she is very considerate and caring to her family and outsiders; Absolutely, pure and pure, she is the pearl of Luoyang... If you don't like these things, the concubine also knows that there is a young lady in the Zhou family who is only fifteen after the new year. Which kind of temperament, you might as well say it bluntly, the concubine can tell the prince!"

When all the ministers heard it, they all fell silent.

Concubine Tian's words are true, Sima Zhao's heart is clearly revealed.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Emperor Taikang probably wouldn't pay attention to these trivial matters, but which one of the courtiers is not a shrewd person, which one doesn't see all directions and listen to all directions?There are also wives and daughters gossiping at home, and they also know a little about this boudoir girl.

The ones that Concubine Tian said were all top quality.

The first one, a girl from the Zhu family, is indeed gorgeous, very gorgeous, with a hot figure, and eyes that seem to have hooks, and you can't escape just by looking at them!She is indeed very considerate, not only her family, but also her cousins ​​who are close relatives, she is very considerate.

The girl from the Liu family is indeed talented, she is excellent in both calligraphy and painting, but she is too cold, she can't even smile, she can't wait to hug her desk every day, not to mention caring for her husband, she has never learned anything about female celebrities, how to do it Mother of a Nation?

As for the young lady of the Zhou family, she was even more nonsense, her fat face was distorted, and that's not what she said... It's not that she discriminates against fat people, she has them in her family, but the mother of the country, she is going to be a queen in the future, dare you not Dare to raise the bar?

After Tian finished speaking, she kept smiling and looked at Yang Xuan, waiting for Yang Xuan's answer.

Yang Xuan...Yang Xuan didn't take it seriously at all.

He ignored it, didn't say a word, didn't make a movement, and someone jumped out to speak.

"The prince's big wedding is related to the state system. I invite the emperor, and I must not make an order hastily!"

"Choose a good girl, look at her virtues, talk about her merits, choose the best and marry."

"The prince's own opinion is indeed important, but the choice of the mother of the country in the future will be based on character, character and virtue. The Da'an Dynasty needs a dignified and virtuous mother of the country, please learn from the emperor!"

From an angle that no one could see, Yang Xuan smiled.

Look, without him saying anything, someone jumped out.

Crown Princess, Empress, any position is not easy, once it is mentioned, it will definitely lead to a public opinion war, everyone understands the truth, why did Concubine Tian forget?

Just caring about him?

As for his Cui Mata...

Yang Xuan looked over the window and looked at the position of the Nuan Pavilion.

He has thought of a very suitable way.

At that time, everyone, including Emperor Taikang, will beg him to marry Cui Yu.

Concubine Tian gritted her teeth secretly, she was so angry.

The Lord didn't say a word, what are you doing jumping out in such a mess!

She is the only one who understands this kind of aggrieved feeling of punching hard, but finally getting stuck in a ball of cotton.

"It's not that the concubine deliberately violated the rules, but the empress has been away for many years and no one cares about her..."

What's wrong with her question?These people make trouble, and deliberately say that Da'an needs a dignified mother of the country, who are they scolding!

"Your Highness is old enough to get married. Wouldn't it be hard for the crown prince if you keep procrastinating?"

The implication is: What are you all thinking about?Stop the prince from getting married?

The ministers were also very wronged.

Who doesn't know how attractive the position of Crown Princess is, and how many interests are involved?How could Concubine Tian make a decision with just a touch of her upper lip and her lower lip?Not to mention all kinds of plans in my heart, if there is another mother of the country like Concubine Tian, ​​what will Daan do?

Emperor Taikang finally folded one of them: "Don't choose the crown princess, just pick a few servants and put them in the East Palace."

His gaze passed over all the ministers, and then fell on Concubine Tian: "This is not a big deal, you can figure it out and pick a few smart and sensible ones."

Concubine Tian is too beautiful: "The concubine obeys the order—"

She quietly glanced at Yang Xuan.

Seeing that Yang Xuan's face remained unchanged, he was a little surprised. Did he expect a woman to serve him?The prince is a twin?Both men and women?

That Cui Mata...

The smile on her face became brighter and brighter. It seems that she will have a good show soon!

Yang Xuan's idea was very simple.

When Concubine Tian plugs people in, she plugs them in. Whether she touches her or not, and how close she can get, isn't it up to him?If a person wants to make trouble, he will find a way to get rid of it. As a prince, it is difficult to want a servant who is obedient and understands his eyes?

Because this matter was in the hands of Concubine Tian, ​​she took the opportunity to walk up to Yang Xuan and toast him.

"Since the prince doesn't want to say what kind of one he likes, then the concubine will find a few more different ones to serve the prince."

Yang Xuan glanced at her sideways, his eyes were extremely indifferent, and there was a hint of disdain.

Concubine Tian was not happy, she narrowed her eyes, lowered her voice, and moved her lips: "How is it, Your Highness, the current feeling is not very good, right?"

Yang Xuan raised her eyebrows: "Who are you? You think too much of yourself."

The two sides had already been torn apart, and Concubine Tian didn't want to cover it up with good words: "You will die in my hands sooner or later!"

Yang Xuan sneered and stood up to leave.

Concubine Tian was even angrier: "Why are you so arrogant! You are still just like your mother, you can only rely on others for useless things!"

"Anyway," Yang Xuan smiled wickedly, her voice filled with coldness, "My mother has a man who truly loves her, do you—do you?"

Concubine Tian was startled, and her anger flared up again. She wanted to kill the prince, and she did it now!

"Hey, master Huizhi is here." Yang Xuan raised his wine glass towards the door, looked at Huizhi, then at Concubine Tian, ​​his eyes became meaningful.

Concubine Tian didn't notice.

She is now fully focused on Master Huizhi.

One is that this man has come, and she can talk about things, and the other is... this man doesn't really like her, the relationship between them is pure desire and interest!

Thinking of this, Concubine Tian looked at Huizhi with more resentment.

Huizhi has ring scars on his head, clear eyebrows, wide sleeves, and walks slowly, showing the demeanor of a master.

He clasped his hands together and casually greeted the people he knew. At the same time, he also felt the intense eyes of Concubine Tian.

What's the fuss about?

But no matter what trouble Tian Fei made, he didn't care.The reason why he came was because Concubine Tian messed up again.

Prince Chang was imprisoned before, he gave manpower and information, and let Concubine Tian let go, but not only did Concubine Tian not get her son out, she even put herself in with Prince Yue, so the situation is bleak !

Although his son was released from the sky prison, the current situation is not very good.

Coincidentally, Prince Chang is not young enough to do big things, and if he suffers like this and is hit frequently, he is afraid that his ambition will be wiped out.

It's time to let him know who his real father is.
