Let me eat a soft meal

What the emperor said later, Ye Xuan didn't remember at all, it seemed that he reprimanded the eighth prince who was too clingy to Xie Yushu, and asked the fourth and fifth princes about their homework.

As soon as Sheng Jia left, Ye Xuan left the Imperial College without even saying hello, and hurriedly walked towards the West Palace with his head down, afraid that others would see his blood-hardened eyes, and his anger would make his ears ringing and headache, and he clenched his teeth A fishy and salty rusty smell.

The wind carried the smell of moisture and green mud, and the cloud rolled over the city, but the rain did not fall for a long time.

The eighth prince watched his seventh brother's tense back go away, anxiously wanted to grab Xie Yushu's sleeve, his father's scolding suddenly appeared in his mind, he pursed his lips, and retracted his hand politely.

"Mr. Xie, why is Seventh Brother unhappy?" He raised his head and asked.

"...I'm not unhappy, His Highness is thinking too much." Xie Yushu patted the Eighth Prince's head as usual.

The Eighth Prince lost his composure in an instant, grabbed Xie Yushu's hand, pestered him and called out Mr.

Xie Yushu responded with a good temper, and couldn't help but cast a worried look in the direction Ye Xuan left before entering the Imperial College.

But it was getting late, and it was not suitable for him to stay in the palace as a foreign minister.And... no matter what His Majesty thinks in his heart, the Seventh Prince has already been placed on the card of seizing the heir. According to the agreement with his father, he should avoid suspicion.

There is only a thin line between the upstarts and the aristocratic family. The Xie family and the Jiang family are all living in the cracks. They seem to be prosperous, but in fact they don’t have much background.

Xie Yushu sighed, and followed the eighth prince back to the Imperial College to pack his things.

Ye Xuan walked forward with strides, until he stepped into the main hall of Luohua Palace, he was pulled by Tai'an and suddenly came to his senses.

"Calm down." Tai'an clasped his wrist, suppressing the internal force running wild in his body.

Ye Xuan pushed him away and said coldly, "I'm very calm."

"You—" Tai'an's voice stopped abruptly, and his gaze passed Ye Xuan and fell behind him, showing some doubts.

"What are you looking at?" Ye Xuan frowned and turned around, only to see the back of the palace lady who disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Ye Xuan was about to ask, Taian glanced to the left, and whispered, "There is someone."

It was the maid next to Concubine Liang who came, and asked Ye Xuan to come in and talk.

Ye Xuan was in a bad mood and didn't have the energy to deal with Concubine Liang, so he said directly: "I'm tired today, you go back to mother, I'll come back in a few days to ask An to make amends."

Saying to go.

The maid hurriedly stopped, and persuaded her earnestly, "Your Highness, Your Majesty has good news for you. She wanted to tell you as soon as she found out. You should go and see her. It's rare that she is in good spirits today."

"What can be good? Can you regain the favor? That's really congratulations, and finally regained the position of the evil concubine."

The palace maid was startled by these words of praise and sting, and knelt down on the ground with a puff.

Ye Xuan looked down at her trembling back, his face was full of sarcasm, "It seems that I guessed it right?"

Disappointed too many times, already disheartened.Forget it, it's not that he doesn't know her temperament, so why bother with her.

Ye Xuan closed his eyes, the anger and unwillingness all over his body turned into a deep twilight, even his eyes were as calm as water.

"I'm going to say hello to my mother." He straightened the folds of his sleeves and said something casually, Tai'an nodded.

Ye Xuan went straight to Chenjiao Palace, the maid wanted to follow, but was grabbed by Tai'an, wanted to scream, but Tai'an quickly tapped Ya acupuncture point.

Facing the sight of the court lady's liver and gallbladder splitting, before Tai'an picked her up and left, he kindly explained: "I won't die."

It's just washing away the memory and throwing it away to run errands.

The Chenjiao Temple has changed to a new incense today, which has a relatively light smell, and the beaded curtains and white gauze around it have all been put down. Concubine Liang is sitting on the toffee chair thinking about the chessboard, and she is very happy to see him coming in, " Xuaner."

Concubine Liang waved her hands and complained in a soft voice, "Come and watch this chess game."

Ye Xuan didn't respond, walked straight to the middle of the hall, raised his robe and knelt down respectfully, fulfilling the rules: "Xuan'er pays respects to mother."

Concubine Liang's smiling face froze, and the atmosphere in the palace was suddenly very awkward.

When she didn't shout, Ye Xuan just knelt upright, lowered his eyebrows and said obediently, "If mother is fine, the child will go back to Wenyuan Hall."

"You, don't go back in a hurry, I have something to tell you." Concubine Liang stirred up her handkerchief, and said what she hadn't finished, "Xuan'er, come and help me look at this game, there are many rules of Go Well, I can't learn how."

Ye Xuan sat on the opposite futon as she said, the white ones were full of mistakes, the black ones were tightly arranged and there were traps everywhere, it belonged to a novice and an old man, obviously this beginner was Concubine Liang.

Ye Xuan held the white pieces to several places, and immediately brought the chessboard to life, eating the black pieces and counting the pieces.

Concubine Liang couldn't understand the doorway inside, but she still knew about eating, she smiled and praised, "It's so easy to resolve the dead situation, my son is really good."

"It's not a dead end, as long as the vacancy is filled, this game will soon turn defeat into victory, and Heizi will lose."

What Ye Xuan said was an understatement, and the atmosphere in the hall improved a bit.

Ye Xuan asked casually, "Mother has always only loved Qin, Se and poetry, why did she suddenly learn Go?"

Concubine Liang smiled, "Your father likes it."

Ye Xuan paused, his fingers turning white while holding the white piece, he remained silent, and put the piece on the chessboard calmly.

click.There was a crisp sound.

"This game of chess was played together when he came here last time. I didn't play well, and he always gave way to me, but I always feel sorry for it. It must be quite enjoyable when playing chess. I thought about learning it. , Make a little progress every day, there will always be a time when he doesn't need to give way." When Concubine Liang talked about the emperor, her eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and her whole body seemed to be soaked in a honey pot, revealing a sweetness.

Ye Xuan didn't answer, just played chess quietly, and the clear and crisp sounds echoed in the quiet palace. Unknowingly, the black pieces on the chessboard were all cut off, and the white pieces were not pleased.

Concubine Liang finally realized something was wrong.

"Xuan'er..."

Ye Xuan withdrew his hand, got up and bowed, "This game is dead, my child is helpless to share the mother's worries, if the mother is fine, the Imperial College has a lot of homework today, and the child will go back."

Concubine Liang's heart was broken, she grabbed his hand and looked at him with tears in her eyes, "Where are you going, why are you so unwilling to see me?"

Ye Xuan knelt down without saying a word, neither answering nor denying.

Concubine Liang held her chest and took a deep breath, her voice trembling, "Our mother and son...do we have to talk like this?"

"I know you resent me and hate me. Over the years, I have burned my heart day and night, hating my incompetence, and causing you to suffer so much. When I was awake, I looked at your injuries and couldn't forgive me. Myself, I want to make up for you, but you never give me a chance."

"Xuan'er, I am your mother. There is no mother in the world who does not love her son. If I can, I would rather commit suicide than hurt you. You... I will give you whatever you want, okay? I'll find your father." , I’ll give you whatever I find him—”

"enough!"

——Bang!

The chessboard fell to the ground, and the chess pieces spread all over the ground, and even the bead curtain was shaken a little.

Ye Xuan asked sharply, "Mother, how long are you going to be naive?"

"The man you mentioned, he is the Ninth Five-Year Sovereign of Daliang, the Son of Heaven, and the husband of three thousand concubines in the harem. He has many sons and daughters. He doesn't miss a concubine from you, or a son from me! You have to rely on Is his mercy and alms such a pitiful life?"

Ye Xuan looked at the woman's suddenly red eyes with compassion, and smiled and tore open the whitewashed wound.

"Have you forgotten? Have you forgotten how you have lived these past few years? Look at the self-harm wound on your arm, and think about the medicine you have been taking for several years. The hospital begged, and he never even came to see you, and he didn't care about you at all."

Ye Xuan paused and said, "Wake up, he never loved you."

"Xuan'er!" Concubine Liang covered the last sentence with a shrill voice. Her voice was trembling, and tears were streaming down her cheeks. Let's go, mother is tired and wants to rest, let's go..."

"Go? Where am I going? Where is my shelter?"

Ye Xuan's eyes turned red as he spoke, showing fragility for the first time.

Boom—Lightning and thunder outside, and the sound of pattering rain made the hall even more depressing.

Concubine Liang turned her head away, trying to call the maid to light the lamp.

Ye Xuan waved back the palace lady, took out the torch and went to light the lamp himself, the faint candlelight shone on his face, except for his eyes were a little red, his face was extremely calm.

Holding the candle lamp, he knelt down in front of Concubine Liang again.

Concubine Liang closed her eyes, the melancholy between her brows turned into despair, and she said weakly, "What else do you want to say?"

"Father brought Xiao Jiu to the Imperial College today, and Pei Liulang, Xiao Jiu's companion, pointed it out to me."

Concubine Liang didn't know why he mentioned this matter, she could only say palely, "This is a good thing."

"Does mother think this is a good thing?" Ye Xuan suddenly raised his eyes and looked at her fixedly, "The three generations of the Pei family are all men, and no one has entered the palace. He is the biggest minister without a sovereign in the court. Grand Master Pei was originally the minister of the Ministry of Rites. , has always been one of the invigilators of the imperial examinations. His disciples are all over the world. Three generations of the Pei family have been officials in the court. Civil servants and military generals have emerged in large numbers, and most of them hold real power. Pei Liulang is the youngest son of the Pei family. Collided with Xie Xiang's car, but was appeased by His Majesty with a reward."

"Teachers and companions have always been the first group of forces belonging to the prince. The eldest brother's companion, Yan Bing, is an official of the official department, and Yan's younger sister has entered the palace as a side concubine. The official department is almost the eldest brother's headquarters; the fourth brother's companion is an official. He is the son of the Liu family, so the Liu family has joined the Concubine De's camp; Fifth Brother's companion is General Chen's direct son, the last time there was a civil strife in the Bohai royal family, it was General Chen who asked himself to lead troops to quell it."

"Now that Pei Liulang is my companion, does my mother think it's good?"

Concubine Liang didn't understand, and asked instead: "Isn't this a good thing?"

"Ah."

Ye Xuan sneered: "Originally, only the eldest brother was the only prince who participated in politics in the court. The fourth and fifth brothers would leave the palace to build a mansion after a few years. The only one who can survive the year of the Great Liang Emperor's Mandate is the Zudi, and within two years of being a crown prince, he will be swarming in the court."

"Under such a situation, His Majesty suddenly favored me, and even sent the important Pei family to me personally, mother!"

Ye Xuan looked at Concubine Liang's pale face inch by inch, and smiled sarcasticly, "Now that I'm broken up and surrounded by wolves, does mother think it's okay?"

The author has something to say: Ye Xuan: I am in such a miserable situation. My father does not love my mother, and my daughter-in-law is planning to leave me alone!

Xie Yushu: Come, come, come, I will come in the next chapter.

Love is absolutely sweet, Mr. is the only one who is good to Xiaoqi without adulteration.
