Bastards

Xie Wen, the eldest grandson of the Xie family in Chang'an, the leader of the future family, with outstanding talents, inherited court training from a young age, received family-style elite education since childhood, and has extraordinary insight and vision.It can be said that among his peers, he knows what others have seen and understood, and he also knows what others have not seen or understood. Even counting up, most of the previous generation's knowledge is not as good as him.

Moreover, he has a delicate mind and a quick brain, and his handling of things is still relatively young compared to the old foxes, but he is quite capable of handling things compared to ordinary people.

Therefore, the old man dared to hand over the most important Xie family autumn banquet every year to him.

He himself is quite confident in himself.

But what happened today made him completely dumbfounded, and he felt that his IQ had been greatly hurt.

What did he see!

It's obviously Sha San, how did he become a prince!

He stared wide-eyed, staring blankly at the person in front of him from head to toe.Long sword eyebrows on the temples, sharp phoenix eyes, slender and straight, a youthful body that seems to contain boundless strength, exuding a domineering aura from the inside out... It is the Sha who has fought several times and can make him respect and admire at a young age. Three!How did you become a prince!

But the two county kings of Pingchang are both princes, so it is impossible to admit the wrong person.The old eunuch guarding the temple in Huangci Temple is even less likely to admit the wrong person.

So... is he really a prince?

Sha San... is the prince?

Reminiscent of my own attitude in the past... I am fine, but my uncle and the prince had a confrontation!Even scolded him!

Xie Wen's eyes went dark.

That's right, as soon as Sha San appeared, the whole family felt that he had an extraordinary temperament and would become a great weapon in the future.But no, a man is a prince, with a clear eye, a heart and wisdom, who hides his identity and enters the world, and is also a potential dragon, how could he not be a great weapon!

But this...does Cui Mata know?The two of them have been together, and their relationship is much better than theirs!

Xie Wen kept staring at Yang Xuan in a daze. Fortunately, everyone was shocked and surprised, and his performance was not out of line.After looking at it for a long time, he suddenly noticed that Yang Xuan's ears were a little yellow.

Yellow like dark skin.

Unexpectedly, the scene of Cui Yu playing games with Changjun Wang appeared in front of his eyes, and Xie Wen's eyes became more dull.

At that time, the boy who stood up to form a team with Cui Yu, with dark yellow skin and slightly smaller eyes drooping at the corners of his eyes... He always felt familiar, but he didn't recognize his face. Now that he thought about it carefully, he was definitely the prince!

The prince has just changed his appearance, and he is on the scene!

How daring, respected as a prince, dare to play undressing game in full view of everyone!

Or...do you trust Cui Mata too much?

Scenes of the past quickly flashed before his eyes. In fact, the prince helped him a lot, in the family, in the officialdom, and in Chang'an, he admired the prince very much. Now, this admiration is added with a special admiration today. He is very excited and can't wait to Immediately go home and tell the world that he and the prince are friends!

But because he was so close and too familiar, he felt a little bit unwilling to be kept secret, and thought that if Cui Yu knew, but the prince didn't know that Cui Yu knew...it would be fine.It feels like revenge has been avenged!

His mind gradually turned back, Xie Wen calmed down, and began to think about the picture in front of him.Obviously, the Changjun King came prepared, and he didn't know what was wrong with him, so he couldn't take it lightly!He has to be alert and help at all times. As for other family positions and safety relations, I have no idea now!

……

Li He, the imperial censor of Yezhetai, also frowned and was full of thoughts.

This prince, he has a relationship.

The fate of this side is very special, someone wanted to harm him, and the prince saved him.

In today’s scene, it’s true that the king of Changjun came prepared, but the crown prince didn’t really stay in the temple honestly. He didn’t come out for many years.But it would be wrong to say that the prince has a different heart.

It's not that he boasted, his family background and official position were very attractive to the princes, but the prince saved his life at that time, and he didn't threaten to repay him with kindness, and he never came to ask him to help with anything.He remembered that sentence very clearly.The prince rescued him because he "concerned about the livelihood of the common people, for the safety of the common people, and is a good official".The crown prince also refused to tell him his name, and when he asked urgently, he left a smile and said that he was a person who "hopes for peace in the world".

Such a prince, with the most affection and nature, and his heart for the common people, how could he have a different heart?

This country should belong to him!It is his fault that he endured the growth secretly!

Li He squinted his eyes, and glanced sharply at King Changjun. He stood upright and didn't say much, but he had a decision in his heart.

As for the other people present... there were a few who had seen Yang Xuan.

Yang Xuan was very cautious every time he showed up. Except when there were more people at the Xie family's autumn banquet, at other times, whether he wanted to meet people or not, he would make preparations and plans in advance.Those who have a deep impression of him will definitely not expose him, and those who have a shallow impression of him, or those who have only met him once but cannot remember clearly, let alone open their mouths.

As for why... the prince is in a bit of an embarrassing situation right now, if he admits that he knows each other, if he gets close to him, there will be trouble.Whether it's a chance, a fortune, or a disaster if it's exposed on the spot, you can't say for sure if you meet the royal family.On the border of Chang'an, the Xie family's winks and behaviors are more important. Now no one speaks immediately, and no one is willing to be the rafter of the head.

Then the atmosphere in the room... was very harmonious.

Yang Xuan dealt with the two princes of Pingchang with ease, suppressed familiar people with comforting eyes, talked about the mansion newspaper and the important affairs of the court from the shallower to the deeper, and discussed and exchanged political affairs with the adults present. It was quite slippery.

After the most critical period, the atmosphere calmed down, and he was able to separate his mind a little, thinking about Cui Yu.

This news was brought to him by Cui Yu, and it was timely, and if it was later, there would be big trouble.I don't know how Cui Yu knew, and now...where is he?

……

Facing the cliff in the southwest, the mountain wind was blowing, rolling large flakes of snow into the wing room, and Lan Qiao hugged Cui Yu, crying uncontrollably.

It's too cold here, and the master fainted again. Not to mention the hot water and charcoal basin, he doesn't even have warm clothes. Lan Qiao is very worried that something will happen to the master.He wanted to go outside to ask for help, but he was not tied up now anyway, so he went out and ran a few times, and he could always find someone.But before the master fainted, he ordered to wait here...

Lan Qiao was an obedient servant, he never said anything to Cui Yu's orders, and never made up his own mind.Sometimes it's not good, the servants also want to protect the master, but Lan Qiao knows that he is stupid, and he is worried about doing bad things with good intentions, so he just stays loyal and obedient, even if he dies following the order, he will not change his original intention.As time went by, Cui Yu got to know him better, so he was assured of the accuracy of his orders. If he was not sure, he would not give orders, and Lan Qiao could do it by himself.

Since I have ordered it before, I just can't go...

Lan Qiao had no choice but to block the wind with his back, guarding Cui Yu anxiously.

I don't know how long it took, but it seemed that the hair that I had been waiting for had turned gray, and it seemed that not long after, the man he asked for help came back.

"Yo, are you crying again? I said why do you always cry, you little idiot, and you are not afraid that your tears will freeze and hit your feet."

Lan Qiao was very surprised to see the person coming: "Wood!"

The man clapped his hands to block: "Stop! It's okay if you're happy, don't rush at me, men and women can't stand kissing."

"Who will kiss you!" Lan Qiao glared at him, "Hurry up, help me send the young master down the mountain!"

The man touched his chin: "Yo, this is getting fierce? Didn't you cry just now and die?"

Lan Qiao glanced at him out of the corner of his eye: "I use you, and I will pay you after the deal is made. You are not my parents, my master, why should I be polite to you? You are so annoying, you will be beaten to death sooner or later!"

"you--"

Before he could utter a word, Lan Qiao had already glared at him again, impatiently saying, "Hurry up and think of a way!"

The man had no choice but to let out a long sigh.

"Are you still in pain?"

The rubbing wound on Lan Qiao's arm and leg stopped bleeding, but the wound was a bit big, and the pain didn't dissipate so quickly, but for the sake of the master, it's nothing!

"It doesn't hurt anymore!" He stood up and took two steps unsteadily, "It's all right!"

The man clicked his tongue lightly, took out a bottle of medicine from his chest, opened it and threw one to Lan Qiao: "Take it first."

"I can't show up in front of people, otherwise you and your young master will be suspected. In this way, I will look at him, you go over there—" He pointed in the direction, "Two hundred steps, you can look at the servants of Huangzhuang , you ask them to send you a sedan chair and take your young master out of Huangzhuang."

Lan Qiao didn't feel much better after taking the medicine, but he was very happy to leave here: "Good!"

"The two kings of the county have allowed your young master to leave, and they should not stop him. If they don't cooperate, you can scare them and say that the master will teach them a lesson."

After Lan Qiao listened, he asked back: "What about you? You can't be lazy. The business is considered successful only if my young master is safely escorted to Chang'an, otherwise there will be no money!"

The man rolled his eyes: "You bring someone with you, and follow your young master's sedan chair, I will accompany you all the way in the dark."

"Count you acquainted!"

Lan Qiao looked at Cui Yu again, carefully adjusted his master's posture, and then ran towards the direction the man said.Sure enough, after a while, I saw a servant room and asked them to bring a soft sedan over.When the servants heard Cui Yu's name, they didn't dare to neglect, Lan Qiao hurriedly urged, and the soft sedan was delivered in a short while.

Lan Qiao helped his master into the sedan chair, when suddenly he heard his master vaguely call a name, it seemed to be Yang...what Xuan.Does master know someone named Yang Xuan?Lan Qiao has been serving the master, and has never heard of this name.

But this is not important, the important thing is to quickly take the master down the mountain and find a good doctor!

……

Cui Yu finally left Huangzhuang safely and smoothly, but for Yang Xuan, the drama was not over yet.

Yang Xuan is too good to be able to discuss political affairs with the ministers in Chang'an, not to mention Prince Chang who is willful and savage, who only knows how to play foolishly all day long, even King Ping who advertises himself as hardworking, talented, tactful and best at dealing with affairs, many Sometimes I can't get in my mouth.

But this aspect is another basis for judging a prince's ability.

In contrast, the two county kings lost face again.

King Pingjun is fine, he won’t get angry, anyway, he never got angry when he was in front of people, King Changjun was very upset, his rationality had already been eaten by himself, and he made stupid moves again and again, "No, how do you prove that you are Prince" was asked.

Yang Xuan's reaction was very calm: "Why is the prince still pretending to be someone?"

The old eunuch Shi Fu immediately shot back: "The Fourth Prince doesn't believe in this old slave, or does he not believe in His Majesty? Your Majesty will send people to see His Highness the Crown Prince every year!"

King Changjun choked. He had seen the portrait of the prince. This prince could not be fake, but he just didn't want to admit it so wronged.Turning his eyes, he pointed at Yang Xuan again: "How do you know about the imperial court? You must have disobeyed your father and managed your power secretly!"

Yang Xuan looked at King Changjun with pity: "Brother, Dibao is a good thing. There are paper and ink shops at the foot of the mountain. Father doesn't let Gu go down the mountain, but he doesn't forbid Gu to study."

When he said this, his expression was exactly the same as that of Cui Yu mocking King Changjun not long ago.

If you haven't met a smart person, you don't know how smart a smart person can be.A smart person can know the world's major events just by reading the mansion newspaper. It's not like you, who just waits to die and plays around all day long, doesn't understand anything, and asks stupid questions all the time.

A brain is a wonderful thing, and I hope you have one too.

Some people present couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

King Chang's face turned red, and he looked around viciously.

"For so many years, Gu has never had a foreign visitor here. The second brother and fourth younger brother came to visit Gu this time, but what does the emperor mean?" The time was almost up, and Yang Xuan wondered if he should make a move.

King Changjun was so transferred that he didn't dare to answer casually, so he kept his mouth shut and didn't answer.

"It must be that the father wants to be lonely, and wants to take him back." Yang Xuan sighed, stood up and faced the direction of the Luoyang Imperial City, and knelt down, "Is there any son who doesn't miss his father? I also want to be filial to my father." On my knees... Thank you, Father, for your compassion!"

The crown prince has a noble status, and when he kneels, everyone present has to kneel with him. The crown prince is emotional and even cries, and everyone has to persuade him: the family relationship between father and son is the righteousness in the world, and the father's kindness and filial piety are even better stories. Rumu Shengshang, if the whole world of Daan is like this, why worry about long-term peace and stability?Don't worry, the prince, the Holy Majesty will definitely pick you up soon!

King Changjun stood there blankly, watching Yang Xuan's performance, and said in his heart that he was so shameless!Father has long forgotten who you are!

After brushing up on this wave of public opinion, Yang Xuan cared a lot for the two brothers again. The younger brother didn't mind being bullied by his mouth when he was unhappy. He even apologized to everyone present on his behalf. The scene can move people to tears.

How can King Kechang be considered young?He is only a few months younger than Yang Xuan, Yang Xuan has grown up like a boy, but he...

Think about it, everyone is disappointed with King Yue of Luoyang.

With such a real brother, is my brother really as perfect as the rumors say?

In this meeting, the emotions of the fourth prince Chang Junwang ranged from excitement and intensity to surprise, disappointment, panic, anger and fear. The prince showed too many things from calm and calm to wise and oppressive.Just passing by?Everything is a coincidence?Even that gold medal happened to be with him?Don't take people for fools, who hasn't been through something here?

At the time of parting, everyone's expressions were unpredictable and meaningful.

After everyone left, the gate of the temple was closed again, there was no sound and no one was there, and then the old eunuch knelt down in front of Yang Xuan: "Your Highness...you are back!" His voice trembled slightly, maybe it was joy, Still scared.

Yang Xuan lifted the old eunuch up and prevented him from kneeling down: "Kneel for that little bastard outside, your knees are wet, and you're not afraid of death if you toss around on the snow at your age."

The old eunuch's eyes were slightly wet, and he really didn't kneel down anymore. He patted his pants and stood up: "Don't worry, Your Highness, as soon as the old servant heard the shouts from outside, he knew that the visitor was not good, so he immediately put on his knee pads. The outside is wet, but the inside is fine, hehe ..."

"You're clever." Yang Xuan said and went back to the room, undressing, "Where's the substitute?"

"The old slave didn't look right, let him leave along the back wall to take shelter temporarily." Shi Fu waited on Yang Xuan to undress, and saw that the coat was taken off and there were coarse clothes inside, which were still soaked, and he was slightly stunned.

"The time is too short, I didn't have time to change it, so I just picked one and put it on."

"The old slave will bring you clean clothes and make a pot of tea."

After Yang Xuan had changed her clothes, she was refreshed. She picked up the hot tea cup and had time to think about what happened just now.

The name is Missing the deceased queen, he is a filial piety in the temple, but he is actually under house arrest. His emperor's father is cruel enough to him.Usually I can't think of it, I just send someone over every year before the New Year's Eve to look at him. It's nice to say that he cares, but in fact it's to see if he is good or not, and if he is doing something wrong.

But it's easy to fool, a substitute is enough to deal with it on weekdays.

In the mid-summer fight this year, Cui Yu helped him escape, but Tian Guifei or the King of Yue couldn't find them anywhere, so they probably thought he had run away early.Of course, he did make a similar arrangement to divert his attention... It's just that he didn't expect that they would do this.

He really didn't expect that even at the plum banquet, he didn't know that this trick was deployed, and he also carried the imperial gold medal with him.If it wasn't for Cui Mata's reminder...

"If Gu didn't come, what are you going to do?" Yang Xuan knocked on the table, looking at the smiling old eunuch standing aside.

Shi Fu smiled: "Just delay the time, saying that His Highness is going to admire the plum blossoms, I don't know where."

"What if you don't come?"

"Let's just say that His Highness had an accident while appreciating the plum blossoms. He must have been taken captive by bad guys. The King of Chang County is very suspicious." Shi Fu spread his hands, "Believe it or not, things are going to be big anyway, so let's do it big. Although Your Highness It will suffer a little, and it will be more troublesome to arrange afterwards, and it will not be nothing."

Yang Xuan raised the corners of her lips and smiled.

Indeed, today's move is really a double-edged sword. If it is used well and it meets the expectations, he is the only one who is unlucky; if he makes a mistake, he will not be the one who is unlucky.For example, today, he should thank Prince Chang for giving him a chance to appear in front of others.

What he lacks is the opportunity to appear on important occasions. It is a good thing to have topics and comments.So many people, so many mouths, little by little, soon, things about him will sweep Chang'an, even Luoyang, and the whole world.

Father wanted to foster him and make everyone forget him. He must be very upset when the news spread today.

I really want to see that angry face, is it as righteous as when I despised him back then?Concubine Tian Gui and King Changjun will be punished after this incident. I don't know if Concubine Tian Gui is still in her prime, is she bossy and rude to the Holy Majesty as she was back then?

Well, she has two sons. The eldest son is so outstanding and holds a lot of power, so he has the confidence.It's a pity that the father is old, and he really doesn't mind at all with such a strong son by his side, staring at the dragon chair?

"Your Highness today... talks freely and eloquently. His appearance is as noble as the sun and the moon in Huanghuang. It is quite reminiscent of Emperor Yuwen. If the empress knows about it, she will be very comforted." Shi Fu looked at Yang Xuan and couldn't help sighing. .His Highness grew up little by little from a child, and even though his shoulders are still immature, he is good enough to carry the royal family!

Yang Xuan's eyelids drooped, his eyes were blurred by the dense tea steam, and his voice was slightly astringent: "I live like this, it really... makes the queen mother worry."

Shi Fu quickly changed the topic: "Let's not talk about that, how did His Highness arrive in time today? The time is urgent, and the old slave only has time to let someone take out the letter..." He felt sorry for the prince, but he didn't want to make him sad.

Speaking of this, Yang Xuan thought of Cui Yu, his eyes drooped slightly, and his eyes became bright and gentle: "It was reminded by others."

"Who reminded you? Knowing that the king of Changjun has plans and the visitor is not good, he reminded you in time?" Shi Fu was quite surprised.

Yang Xuan subconsciously held the jade ring around his waist in his palm, and his voice softened: "A person who is very smart, cares about me, and is very important to me." It was a good-looking rabbit that God rewarded him.

Shi Fu couldn't understand, but the fact that it turned out to be beneficial to the crown prince was enough: "This matter is beneficial to His Highness, what next is—"

Yang Xuan hurriedly stood up: "Indeed, there are some things that can be done..."

He confessed some things to Shi Fu, his brows were slightly frowned: "Besides, I have to discuss it with that person before I can make a plan..." He immediately put on his clothes and turned around, "I have to go out here, please look at it on."

Shi Fu didn't ask Yang Xuan where he was going or how long he was going, but just sent him off with a smile on his hands: "Don't worry, Your Highness, those people won't come again in a while, and they don't dare to knock on the door again. Here...there is an old slave." Woolen cloth."

"I will let Jiachen send messages at any time, even if there is an accident, he can return in time, so he won't be in such a mess."

"Yes," Shi Fu bowed and knelt down, "Your Highness, be careful on the road."

……

Now Yang Xuan desperately wants to see Cui Yu.For some reason, his chest was full of emotions, and he wanted to see Cui Yu very much, and asked him how and when he guessed his identity.

Different from the initial worry, Cui Yu knew who he was. The moment this idea popped into his mind, he was not uneasy, worried, or negative at all. He just wanted to stand in front of Cui Yu and let him take a good look at it. , Take a good look at him yourself.No cover up, no secrets, honesty and honesty.

Cui Mata, Cui Mata, Cui Mata, Cui Mata—I want to see Cui Mata!

But when he entered the Mei Banquet venue, the first news he heard was that Cui Yu was in a coma and was carried down the mountain by a soft sedan chair!

In an instant, Yang Xuan's face turned pale, is Cui Yu in trouble?

Was it because of him that he was hurt!

He tapped his toes to the ground vigorously, using his lightness kung fu to the extreme, and walked all the way in the direction of Cui Yu, feeling extremely anxious.
