Let me eat a soft meal

Nowadays, Emperor Liang is diligent in government affairs, and the frontline battlefield is always eyeing. Except for the harem, concubines, and the three provinces and six ministries, the emperor rarely sets foot in other places.

The last time Ye Ling fell into the water and fainted from shock, the emperor was admitted to the imperial hospital; this time he suddenly came to the Imperial College...

Ye Xuan thought about it for a while, and when he went out to pick him up, he came to the conclusion: it must be for the Ninth Prince.

Nine Princes Yi, which means bright and magnificent, the son of the noble concubine Yue, is currently the youngest prince in the palace, and is also the most beloved prince in the palace. From the emperor dowager to the concubines and eunuchs, everyone likes him.

One is because Lao Jiu was born late, the eldest prince has already left the palace to build a mansion, but he has only reached the age of school; the other is Lao Jiu was born prematurely, born differently from others, always responding slowly, but has a photographic memory The third is the noble concubine Yue, she is the same as the queen's family, she is in the same line as the Li family, and she is favored by the emperor. If the queen loses power, she is the most likely person to be in charge of the phoenix seal.

Whether it's following others' influence or pretending to be ingratiating, if you think about it, you'll be gentle with the Ninth Prince.

The emperor relied on the closure of the Imperial College, and the people who were going to the martial arts field turned back with their arms in their arms. They knelt down in the yard, and sure enough, they saw a man in a black imperial uniform leading a little jade boy carved in powder, followed by a group of Imperial College students. official.

The emperor sat down on the throne, hugged his youngest son on his lap, and waved his sleeves, "It's not time for class yet, right? Where are you going?"

He couldn't distinguish between emotions and anger when he said this, everyone froze in fright, even the third princess subconsciously hid the Cuju behind her back.

Xie Yushu was afraid that the emperor would question him, so he was about to come out and report immediately, but Ye Xuan grabbed him.

Ye Xuan shook his head at the impatient Mr. Xiao.

Ye Xuan thought he could figure out a little bit about the emperor's thoughts. He was asking the three princesses and the others. Xie Yushu couldn't wait to come out and express his opinion. He would inexplicably push this question to accountability for a while, and secondly, it would highlight the princes No responsibility.

After getting in touch these days, Ye Xuan understood very well that Xie Yushu was a talented person and capable of governing the world, but he was upright by nature and not good at judging people's hearts.

The ups and downs of the officialdom are changing rapidly, being with the king is like being with a tiger, Ye Xuan doesn't like it, the little gentleman just offends the emperor for no reason, just like the queen, he is rejected for no reason.

Xie Yushu was pulled back and paused for a moment, knowing that Ye Xuan told him to be calm and not to be impatient, he looked hesitant, so the third princess stepped forward and smiled loudly, and took the initiative to explain, "Today's lesson is over, we plan to go to the martial arts arena to compete with General Huang Cuju!"

"Oh, it's no wonder that Huang Mang has been running to the palace every day recently. I thought he was thinking about it and planned to join the military department."

The emperor lightly said a word, which shocked all the officials into a trance: A few days ago, the battle report from the front line returned to Beijing, and the army had already reached the western capital of Beirong. The courtiers called back to ask for their opinions. There were those who objected and those who agreed, but His Majesty did not speak. He just suppressed the matter and let the guards of the two surrounding cities go to support it.

Now that it was brought up suddenly... is it planning to drag Huang Mang in Beijing?

Xie Yushu heard his father talk about this, he frowned, and the corners of his lips were pursed to look quite disapproving.

Seeing Mr. Xiao's unconcealable expression, Ye Xuan felt a little startled, and turned sideways to block it.

He acted very carefully, the emperor who was having a question and answer with the third princess did not notice that the nine princes sitting on his lap had a pair of clear eyes on him.

Ye Xuan gave him a harmless smile.

The Ninth Prince's eyes fell on his face, he tilted his head and didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly tugged on the emperor's sleeve.

The emperor immediately stopped questioning the third princess, lowered his head and straightened the ninth prince's clothes lovingly, and asked softly, "Little Jiu, what's the matter?"

The Ninth Prince didn't look at the Emperor, and pointed at Ye Xuan, his immature voice was full of doubts, "Father, is that Xiao Jiu who has grown up?"

Everyone's eyes fell on the insignificant Seventh Prince, and the whole room was shocked.

Sen Han's killing intent flashed in Ye Xuan's eyes.

Everyone in the court knew that the noble concubine Yue was favored because she looked like a good concubine. The noble daughter of the Li family who was once famous in Beijing was a shadow of others once she entered the palace.

Ye Xuan had met Concubine Yue, and he privately thought that his mother and Concubine Yue had similar appearances, but their auras were completely different, so it was impossible to cause people to misunderstand.

The good concubine Luo Wanqing came from a salt merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, and she was just a cousin of the Shen family whose parents both died. She lived under the fence since she was a child, and she had a cowardly and deceitful character. It is difficult to make a decision when you are indecisive. It sounds nice to be pitiful and pitiful, but in reality it is a bit petty, but such a person can satisfy a man's self-esteem to a great extent.

The noble concubine Yue is from the Li family. The Li family has been in office for many years, and it is also a family of bells and lanterns. The daughters are all raised by the mistress of the aristocratic family. The noble concubine Yue has a cooler temperament. Ling Lie, who was able to overcome all opinions from the three concubines Xian, Shu, and De to get the position of assistant in the harem, the means of which can be seen in the city.

What's even more frightening is that others will say that the good concubine is a disaster for the country and the enchantress, but they will never use these words to criticize the noble concubine Yue. Instead, they will praise her as a woman who is really suitable for the emperor.

In fact, Ye Xuan has always suspected that the relationship between the emperor and the empress would be so stiff, and there was also a relationship between the noble concubine Yue who provoked it.

If Concubine Liang and Concubine Yue are only slightly similar in appearance, Ye Xuan and Ninth Prince are quite alike.

Ye Xuan recalled the emperor's inexplicable attention and connivance to him some time ago, even though he knew that it was impossible because he looked similar to the Ninth Prince, he still couldn't help getting angry.

The murderous intent in his eyes subsided in just an instant, but the Ninth Prince was keenly startled, and grabbed his father's sleeves tightly with both hands.

Ye Xuan showed a cute smile, and replied very "happy", "You and I are both the sons of the father, so we naturally look alike."

"Xiao Jiu, I'm your seventh brother."

The Ninth Prince was ignorant, looked at the emperor, and then slowly uttered two words, "Seventh Brother?"

"Ah."

Ye Xuan's face was full of joy, but Xie Yushu was keenly aware that Ye Xuan's nature was not high.

He looked at His Highness Seven's side face, his eyes were half-bent, his smile was superficial, and the corners of his lips were very gentle, completely different from his raised tone.

Xie Yushu was a little conflicted: he felt that His Highness the Seventh Prince seemed unhappy, but he also felt that His Highness had no reason to be unhappy.

Ye Xuan sensed his gaze, glanced at Xie Yushu's tangled look from the corner of his eye, raised his brows, the corners of his lips deepened, and the smile melted into those dusky black pupils, making Xie Yushu feel inexplicably embarrassed, and his ears turned red on fire , he quickly moved his eyes away, watching his nose, nose and heart seriously.

Probably reminded by Ye Xuan, the emperor suddenly remembered that the Ninth Prince didn't know his brothers and sisters, so he led him to recognize them with great interest.

The Ninth Princes were quite well-behaved, and they all called out to them.

Satisfied, the emperor put him down from his arms. Just as he was about to test the princes' homework, the Ninth Prince ran away suddenly. He ran in front of Xie Yushu, as if attracted by the dazzling array of accessories on his body, and looked up at him curiously. Then—he grabbed Ye Xuan's sleeve.

Ye Xuan paused, and squatted down following the child's strenuous strength, showing a gentle smile, "Xiao Jiu, what's wrong?"

"Brother Seven," the soft and glutinous child stared at Xie Yushu intently, and asked clearly, "Is this the most beautiful one with many beautiful stones, is it Xiaojiu's ten sister?"

Xie Yushu, who was regarded as a woman or a tenth princess, was embarrassed and quickly blushed.

The whole house roared with laughter.

The eighth prince couldn't help poking his head out from behind Xie Yushu, and carefully taught this stupid younger brother, "You are ranked ninth, Xiao Shi is younger than you, how could it be my sister."

Ninth Prince frowned and counted with his fingers for a while, then whispered, "Mother told me, elder brother is to younger brother, elder sister is to younger sister, isn't that elder sister, is that younger sister?"

"It's my younger sister, Xiao Jiu is so smart." The eighth prince's focus was completely distorted, showing an encouraging smile.

The Ninth Prince was encouraged, and happily called Xie Yushu, "Sister Ten!"

Xie Yushu: "..."

"Pfft." Xie Yushu couldn't hold back her laughter.

Xie Yushu glared at Ye Xuan with red eyes, a little shy.

Ye Xuan smiled and explained for him, "Xiao Jiu, this is Xie Qing and Mr. Xie who teach."

The Ninth Prince's eyes widened in surprise for some reason, and Shuran suddenly pouted aggrievedly, "You're lying, he doesn't even have as much hair as a white beard, he's not a gentleman at all!"

The rest of the Imperial College: "..." I feel offended again.

Ye Xuan still wanted to explain, but the emperor beckoned over there, Zhao An stepped forward and led the Ninth Prince to him, hugged him in a high chair and sat on it, and gave him nine jade rings to play with.

The Ninth Prince was not happy at first, but he was immersed in it as soon as he got the Nine Links. He looked focused and moved quickly with his hands.

Ye Xuan noticed that the Nine Links were very submissive in the hands of the Nine Princes, but after a while, they took off the two jade rings one after another.

He still wanted to take a closer look, but suddenly the emperor laughed, "I heard that Qinghe's class is all done by Xuan'er?"

Ye Xuan felt cold all over, and he came back to his senses, but he didn't have time to stop Xie Yushu from going forward to confess his crime.

The emperor stopped Xie Yushu, "I know Qinghe's knowledge, and I also know the whole story, I just mentioned it casually, so there is no need to be so trembling."

The emperor turned his head and began to test Ye Xuan's homework. Ye Xuan thought about answering each one, neither looking particularly good nor particularly bad. He got stuck on the appropriate questions, pondered for a long time, gave up slumped, lost the way of guilt, "Xuan'er is not good at learning, so she can't answer."

"That's right." The emperor clapped his hands in satisfaction, "Xuan'er has indeed learned a lot from Qinghe, and I will teach Qinghe more in the future."

"By the way, I remember, Xuan'er hasn't chosen a companion yet, right?"

When Ye Xuan heard him mention this suddenly, she subconsciously felt bad.

The emperor smiled and said, "Although Xiaojiu is smart, his mind is damaged and he is not suitable for ordinary teaching. I plan to let him enter the Imperial College a few years later. In this way, Pei Liulang will not be able to accompany Xiaojiu. Xuan'er hasn't had it yet, so I'll point it out to you, and I haven't let Pei Liulang down."

Pei Liulang pointed to the Seventh Prince?The Pei family plays an important role in the court, with civil servants and military officials, and a huge root system. Mr. Pei has many disciples all over the world. Pei Liulang is the youngest and most favored child of the Pei family. What about the Seventh Highness?

Concubine Liang has regained her great favor, and the companion who was originally assigned to the Ninth Prince became the companion of the Seventh Prince. Is Your Majesty... cultivating power for the Seventh Prince?

Concubine Liang has no relatives, so the Pei family is just right!

The room was full of shock, all eyes fell on Ye Xuan.

The fourth and fifth princes were stunned at first, but then there was strong jealousy in their eyes. The courtiers looked thoughtful, and they were all weighing the holy will.

Ye Xuan's eyes sank, looking at the room full of thoughts, only the emperor was sitting on the main seat, his face was undecided, and the nine princes beside him had already untied eight of the nine chains.

He understood, understood everything, it turned out that he was just a pawn.

Ye Xuan gritted his teeth, the hidden hatred sprouted in his heart.

When he couldn't help clenching his fist, Xie Yushu grabbed his hand calmly, with a worried and comforting expression.

The author has something to say: The emperor took Ye Xuan as a target.
