There's A Beauty

The Seventh Prince spent a lot of time trying to appease You Shu, and waited for him to calm down before entering the Golden Luan Hall to face the saint.After the government affairs were dealt with, several ministers stood up and said that all the princes have grown up. In order to stabilize the country and the country, it is time to register as a heir. The emperor also asked the emperor to think about it.

Emperor Jing is in his early fifties this year, which is considered a long life in ancient times when medical technology was very backward, but he feels that he can live another ten or twenty years, so he is quite resistant to the matter of standing on the sidelines.However, as the minister said, in the eyes of outsiders, he is already very old and his time is numbered. If he does not register a successor, I am afraid that many people will start to swing left and right, which will lead to chaos in the court.

He squinted his eyes, and his eyes slid over the princes who had entered the court and participated in politics.The eldest prince is the eldest son of the first line, and his name is justified, so he showed an expression that he must win; the third biological mother is just a singer, and has passed away long ago, so she can only rely on the first line. At this moment, she is looking at the eldest prince, obviously ready to support him; Si's biological mother is Concubine Jing, who came from a noble family, her mother's family is reliable, she has the strength to compete, but she also knows how to restrain her edge. Now that she looks at her nose and her heart, she doesn't seem to covet the throne; the fifth, sixth, and ninth children, Almost everyone has their own plans, and each has their own calculations.

Facing this group of sons who are filial and gentle on the surface, but actually staring at them covetously, Emperor Jing suddenly felt great panic and exhaustion.When a person inevitably enters the aging period, especially if he was once high above and calling the wind and rain, even if it is only a momentum, it is enough to make him feel the sense of crisis of falling into the abyss.

Emperor Jing really wanted to get angry, but he restrained himself. Seeing Lao Qi who was quietly sitting aside, taking out a small comb from his arms and grooming the dog on his lap, he calmed down a bit.In recent years, his health has indeed deteriorated greatly, except for Lao Qi, Deng Chaoshan, and a few confidants, no one else knows about it.If it wasn't for Lao Qi's help in dealing with the government affairs, the princes would have started fighting a long time ago. How could there be peace and prosperity now?

He is extremely reassuring about Lao Qi: first, he has no mother to rely on; second, he does not have a healthy body; third, he has no ambition, and is dispensable to everything except the puppy in his arms.Because of this, Emperor Jing is willing to pamper him and his puppy a little bit.Otherwise, if ordinary puppies were to wear the pro-dynasty clothes of the majestic Great Yan Kingdom, they would have been beaten to death long ago.

"Old Qi, everyone is discussing business. Why did you braid your puppy? How many times have I told you that there is a limit to petting it? Look at you now, all your thoughts are on raising a dog Up there, there isn’t even a bed warmer around.” Emperor Jing seemed to reprimand him, but in reality he had a helpless smile all over his face.

The ministers and princes who had been staring at the emperor just now all turned their heads to look at Prince Duan, although they were used to it, they still found it ridiculous.I saw that Prince Duan was holding the colored silk in his hands, and slowly braided the hair on both sides of the puppy's head into little braids, hanging down on both sides of the purple gold crown.

Youshu was used to being stared at, so she covered her eyes with her paws and was about to fall asleep.The Seventh Prince smiled at Emperor Jing, "Father, my son is just a heart and soul, please take care of me. The matter of establishing a crown prince has nothing to do with my son, so I just listen to it."

The princes expressed their kindness to him one after another, and they all thought that they would be like a tiger with wings added if they could win over this talented but indifferent emperor brother (imperial brother) on the road to succession.

Seeing that everyone turned their attention back, Emperor Jing pondered, "This matter is very important, and I still need to think about it for a few days. Lao Qi, your mother misses you very much, and I will go to Kunning Palace to talk with her before leaving. "However, the queen hates Concubine Hui deeply, so how can she have kind thoughts towards her son?Isn't it to pave the way for the future of the First Prince?Prince Duan is wise enough to be close to demons, strategizing, and has won the trust of the emperor and the support of the courtiers. If he is drawn over, the rest of the staff will not be enough.

Such intentions were not only clear to Emperor Jing, but also to the rest of the princes.Although Emperor Jing was very suspicious, he also cherished and loved his talents. He would definitely protect and cultivate such a talent for governing the world like Lao Qi, and then leave it to the next emperor.No matter how incompetent and mediocre the successor is, as long as there is Lao Qi, Great Yan Kingdom will not be far behind.

The queen called Lao Qi away, besides trying to win him over, she also wanted to point out her niece and niece to be his concubine, so that he could be tied to the eldest prince's boat.Emperor Jing knew her plan clearly, but he didn't stop her, and even tried his best to promote it. Does it mean that the prince he prefers is the eldest prince?

Thinking of this, except for the faction of the eldest prince, the rest of the people are all in a state of mind and their eyes are dim.Emperor Jing didn't seem to notice it, and after a few words of explanation, he personally pushed Lao Qi to leave, not forgetting to call the eldest prince.

The eldest prince is the eldest son, and he is the most suitable candidate for the crown prince in terms of emotion and reason, but he and the empress have been out of favor for more than ten years, and their foundation is not solid enough.Not to mention the dissatisfaction of the princes, even those ministers who stood in line early also had objections, and after returning home, they all began to think about countermeasures.

The sky of Great Yan Kingdom is about to change.

Seeing his father pushing himself to a fork in the road, turning a corner and going up the flowery path of Kunning Palace, the seventh prince hurriedly cupped his hands, "Father, you and your brother go ahead, I want to see the concubine mother and the emperor." younger brother."

Lao Qi is too affectionate, even though Concubine Hui and Lao Ba treated him like that, he still visited him from time to time over the years, which moved Emperor Jing very much.Of course, in order to prevent Concubine Hui and Lao Ba from publicizing those scandals back then, he had already ordered people to inject dumb drugs into their food. Although they were not completely speechless, they could only utter a few short words.If they mentioned sensitive words, such as empress dowager, Duke Yasukuni, incest, etc., some palace officials would step forward to stop them.

It's nothing more than promiscuity in the palace, but there is also a crime of rebelling against human relations. The spread of the incident will not only insult the image of the royal family, but will also make the people question the royal blood.Emperor Jing, who had always been proud of Ji's surname, would definitely not shame his ancestors, let alone damage the reputation of the late emperor, so he had to sacrifice Concubine Hui's mother and son.

He didn't kill people to silence them, he just locked them in the palace. If the ancestors showed their spirits, he might call him "the benevolence of a woman".Because of this, Emperor Jing didn't think that he had done something wrong, let alone feel ashamed of anyone, but seeing Lao Qi being so benevolent, he was still deeply moved.The more Lao Qi is like this, the more he hates iron but not steel, and at the same time he relies more on trust.

"Go, take a look, so as not to get hurt again." Emperor Jing was helpless, and the eldest prince also showed sympathy.

The Seventh Prince nodded in agreement, and asked Xiao Shunzi to push him to Cold Spring Palace.Cold Spring Palace, as the name suggests, is a palace surrounded by deserted lake water, and there is no other way out except for a verandah laid on the water.Entering here is equivalent to entering a prison cage. There is no way to survive but to survive.

Concubine Hui is only 35 this year, but her temples are already gray and her face is full of wrinkles. She looks like an old woman in her twilight years.She was bending over, scrubbing the eighth prince who was paralyzed in bed.The eighth prince lay down for too long, and a large bed sore developed on his back and buttocks. The blood-red flesh oozes yellowish pus, which is very shocking to watch.He was obviously in great pain, beating the pillow repeatedly, and growling hoarsely, but couldn't utter a word.But the only two eunuchs just stood at the door and watched coldly, refusing to step forward to serve.They didn't panic until they saw Prince Duan approaching slowly. One went to get hot water and the other to get medicine.

Hearing the sound, Concubine Hui showed a happy expression, and threw down the veil to welcome her out.

"Old, you are here (Lao Qi, you are here)." She opened her mouth, but she let out a series of strange noises, she had to lower her head in shame, and saw Lao Qi's puppy was pulling its four paws, trying to turn over. After crossing the threshold, I immediately bent down to hug him.

"Don't touch him, he can do it by himself." The Seventh Prince's tone was light, but his eyes were a little cold.He didn't like others to touch Youshu very much.

Concubine Hui withdrew her hand in embarrassment, and rubbed her palm against the skirt.She remembered that these hands had cleaned Lao Ba's bed sores just now, they were really filthy, where could they hug Lao Qi's precious pimple?While thinking about it, Lao Ba screamed sharply as usual in the hall. It turned out that the puppy had already climbed over the threshold and ran straight to the inner hall.

It walked to Lao Ba's bed in small steps, shook the purple gold crown and colorful silk braids on its head, and raised its front paws in the prince's robe, as if showing off, then quickly wagged its little tail and walked from the end of the bed Arriving at the head of the bed, and then walking from the head to the end of the bed, making sure that the eighth prince can clearly see his luxurious outfit.

God said that there are seven deadly sins for human beings. Except for angels, every mortal is more or less contaminated, but there are also some extremely paranoid people who will fall into it and cannot be redeemed.And the seventh prince has fallen into the abyss of jealousy, even if outsiders don't torture him, he can still be mad with jealousy and hatred, life would be better than death.

Seeing that the old man was crowned king at the age of 73, and entered the cabinet at the age of 16, even his puppy was dressed in royal clothes and a prince's crown, and was highly sought after in the palace.On the other hand, he could only lie on the bed and linger, which was completely different from the future he had envisioned.Did God turn their fate upside down?

He stared at the puppy, wishing he could hang it with his thoughts, but was stopped by Concubine Hui who hurried in.

The Seventh Prince picked up the puppy, his face extremely gloomy.The old eight's eyes on Youshu have faintly touched his bottom line.He sat down by the bed, asked the two of them how they were doing as usual, and ordered the two eunuchs to go to the imperial pharmacy to bring back some high-quality medicinal materials.It will be too late if Lao Ba's bed sore is not cured.

Don't pretend to be kind!The eighth prince wanted to scold him, but what he uttered was a series of ah ah sounds, on the contrary he seemed even more powerless, he could only stare with his blood red eyes.

The Seventh Prince stared fixedly at him, without speaking for a long while, gently pinching the puppy's pink meat pad with one hand, and tapping the table with the other, with an extremely unpredictable expression.The Eighth Prince was completely hairy, obviously terrified, but still bit the bullet and scolded, "Look, look, look (what are you looking at)!"

Concubine Hui was also very disturbed, she secretly glanced at Seventh and Eighth for a while, her face gradually turned pale.

The seventh prince leaned close to the eighth prince's ear, and was about to speak, but immediately held his breath, then took out a handkerchief infused with ambergris from his bosom, covered Youshu's mouth and nose, and said softly, "Old Ba, You stink too much, look like you've smoked my family."

Youshu held the master's handkerchief with her front paws, and buried her head in it, obviously disgusted with the Eighth Prince's smell.

The eighth prince vomited blood angrily, his eyes bulged out again and again, as if they were about to burst out of their sockets.Concubine Hui quickly patted his chest, but she didn't dare to say anything.She figured it out, now Lao Qi's dog is more expensive than the two of them combined.

He untied the front of his front, stuffed Youshu in, and covered his mouth and nose with a fragrant handkerchief. Then the Seventh Prince continued in a low voice, "Old Ba, the whole court is talking about the establishment of the heir, and this king is thinking about it." , are you a little in the way of this king?"

The Eighth Prince's eyes were cracking, and he was extremely terrified, then he remembered something and looked at his legs.The seventh prince smiled without saying a word, turned to look at Concubine Hui, "Do you think this king should fight?"

Concubine Hui thought for a moment, and suddenly a bright light burst out in her eyes.Lao Qi has never been a targetless person. If he doesn't say anything, it doesn't mean he can't do it. If he says it, it means he can definitely do it.The son has the strength to fight, why not fight?The son became the emperor, and he himself was the queen mother, so he no longer had to suffer in the cold spring palace!

Thinking of something again, she froze all over, and then looked at Lao Ba.The emperor is the lord of the world, and the lord of the world must be unique, so how can there be someone with the same face as him?Even if Lao Ba is paralyzed and unable to do things like swindle the imperial power and steal the world, his existence is a humiliation to Lao Qi.If Lao Qi wants to fight for the position, he must be eliminated first.

How should I choose?After many years, Concubine Hui fell into a dilemma again, but under the torment of pain, she seemed not as indecisive as the first time.

The eighth prince, who had already figured out the key point, raised his arms and backed away again and again. Even though the bed sores were worn out and the pain was unbearable, he still retreated with difficulty.He was finally afraid. It turned out that his life was in the hands of others, but he could only be slaughtered by others and had nowhere to turn for help. He was so terrified and desperate.

With tears in his eyes, he looked at the concubine mother, but found that the concubine mother turned her head to avoid it; looked at the two eunuchs who had taken the medicine and turned back, but found that the two were indifferent and did not look sideways.It turns out that Cold Spring Palace has already been controlled by Lao Qi?That's not to mention, with a single word from him, he even restrained the concubine mother!In these years, the reason why he didn't kill was probably not because of benevolence, but because he kept himself tortured, right?When the time comes, he can decide his own life and death with one word.

Until now, the Eighth Prince regretted it hard. If he had known that Lao Qi was such a poisonous snake, he would never have provoked him no matter what!How nice it would be to be an idle prince and live in peace and stability!

Seeing that the eighth prince was urinating in fright, the seventh prince laughed softly, "Old Ba, I was just joking with you just now. This king is already like this, so what's the point of arguing?" Then he waved to the two eunuchs , "You take good care of him, don't let him die without my king's order."

The two agreed in a low voice, with panicked expressions.

Concubine Hui chased to the door, staring at the back of her son going away for a long time without moving.Why not fight?How can we not argue?Knowing that it was just a joke, instead of feeling relieved, she was extremely disappointed.When she returned to the palace, the eighth prince had already been cleaned up, and he was staring at the concubine mother with hatred and fear.

The air gradually froze, and the heart gradually became cold. The mother and son who were once inseparable finally moved towards suspicion and breakup irreversibly.They are still alive, but they live like two walking dead.

Xiao Shunzi pushed his master away from Cold Spring Palace, hesitant to speak along the way.He really wanted to ask his master what his plans were, and whether he cared about that position, but he was worried that he would break a taboo.After hesitating, the Kunning Palace arrived. Since the weather was fine and it was not time for dinner, the queen suggested that everyone go to the Imperial Garden for a walk together.

Seeing the beautiful girl standing behind the eldest prince, Youshu's hair instantly exploded, and even the braids on both sides of her cheeks were curled up.The Seventh Prince almost burst out laughing, but fortunately he suppressed it in time.He pushed the hair ball back to the skirt of his shirt, and greeted everyone.

Since the Empress and Emperor Jing wanted to match them up, they naturally wouldn't stand aside and get in the way. When they arrived at the Imperial Garden, they found an excuse and left together.The eldest prince happily told his cousin a few words, and left too.The girl smiled very delicately and cutely, but after all, because of her young age, she restrained her emotions, and the reluctance in her eyes more or less came out.

"My lord, the scenery there is very good, why don't you go and have a seat?" Prince Jian Duan didn't take the initiative to speak, so she pointed to the gazebo in front of her and said.

The Seventh Prince nodded, approached, and asked Xiao Shunzi to place a soft futon on the cold stone table, then took Youshu out of his skirt and placed it on it.Seeing the girl's curious face, he said gently, "It's getting cold, so put it on the table directly to avoid freezing his little paws."

"The lord really loves his dog very much, just like the rumors said." The girl smiled shyly, but felt quite bored in her heart.What she hates the most are kittens and puppies, they are dirty, messy and noisy, and when they see them, they want to strangle them to death.Especially the one in front of me, with a purple gold crown on its head and royal royal clothes on its body, and only one piece of blood-colored warm jade hanging around its neck.

Originally, marrying a paralyzed person is already wronged enough, but she still has to compete with a dog for favor, one can imagine the intensity of resentment in the girl's heart.But for the sake of her cousin's future and the prosperity of the family, she had to endure the humiliation.Taking a deep breath, she pretended to be eager and said, "My lord, your puppy is so cute, can I pet it?"

The Seventh Prince smiled without saying a word.

Youshu took the initiative to take a few steps forward, with her little head turned to the left and right, her little tail wagging back and forth, and her dark eyes fixed on the girl, as if she was very curious about her.No matter how hard-hearted a person is, he will inevitably be attracted by his cute appearance, let alone a girl who is not deeply involved in the world.

The disgust in the girl's eyes lessened slightly, and she slowly reached out her hand to touch the braid next to his head, but suddenly his hair exploded, he opened his mouth, and let out a sharp bark.The accident happened so quickly that the girl was startled and almost knocked over the teacup in her hand.Only then did Youshu twist her buttocks and ran to the master's side, grinning, actually smiling.

"Look at your bear! Can you prevent your master from raising other puppies, and prevent him from getting married? He must have a woman and heirs, right?" The old ghost floating in the air couldn't laugh or cry.

The Seventh Prince didn't realize anything was wrong at all, he suppressed a smile, hugged Youshu, kissed him on the forehead, and then looked at the girl, apologizing, but only pampering and protecting in his tone.In order to maintain an elegant, dignified, and magnanimous image, the girl had to suppress it forcibly.

What the two of them talked about was routine, extremely boring.After listening for a while, Youshu lost all patience, slid down the ground along her master's thigh, and plunged her head into the grass.The Seventh Prince looked at him every once in a while, and then again after a while, completely absent-minded.When the girl racked her brains to come up with a more interesting topic, she saw an anxious expression on his face, and then took out a jade whistle and blew it.

The whistling sound was very sharp, causing the girl to have a splitting headache. She turned her head to look and found that the puppy was missing. Several eunuchs were looking for it among the flowers, and they were already sweating profusely.The girl who has always been the focus of the crowd, tasted the feeling of being ignored for the first time, and it was because of a dog.It's like this before marriage, but what about after marriage?She lowered her head slightly to hide her resentful gaze.

The Seventh Prince was anxious because he couldn't find You Shu, so he didn't pay attention to the others, and blew the whistle several times before seeing You Shu popping out from the bushes.He ran straight to the girl's side, first raised his paws to scratch her calf, waited for her to look down, and then put the thing in his mouth on the hem of her skirt that was dragging on the ground.

The girl took a closer look, and it turned out to be a huge black-shelled unicorn, swinging its horn and jointed limbs, climbing up the hem of the skirt.How can there be a delicate girl raised in a deep boudoir who is not afraid of bugs?She screamed uncontrollably, jumped up, wanted to take a picture but didn't dare to take pictures, so she could only ask the surrounding maids for help, "Come on, take this bug down quickly! Help, help, it's coming up soon!"

A group of maids swarmed up, flapping in a hurry.

Seeing Youshu turned around and ran into the flowers, showing a small head and grinning at him, the Seventh Prince had no choice but to hold his forehead and smile wryly.However, when he realized that You Shu had the same strong possessive desire for him, he couldn't help feeling a sweetness in his heart.

Forget it, he caused trouble, and I will take care of the aftermath. This is the responsibility of the master.The seventh prince told himself this, and then turned black and white and said, "It seems that Youshu likes Miss Fang very much, otherwise she would not have given you the most beloved bug. Back then, the king was also shocked when he received the beetle from him. "

"Yes, yes! Kittens and puppies are like this when they meet someone they like." Xiao Shunzi also smoothed things over.But as soon as he finished speaking, Wang Ye's face darkened, and he didn't know what he said was wrong.

How could a girl believe their nonsense.She had clearly seen the dog smile just now, it was a gleeful smile!It's definitely on purpose!No, we must find a way to cure it!

On this side, chickens and dogs are jumping, while on the other side, Youshu has already left the Imperial Garden along the grass and ran towards Guangling Palace.I think back then he grabbed a hair from the little girl, first hid it between his claws, then kept it in Shuangxue Palace, and then wrapped it in a lotus and buried it in the flower garden of Guangling Palace.Now that he wants to restore his human body, he has to rely on this hair to find someone.

The old ghost followed behind him, babbling, "You, you have to find him quickly and remove the demon spell, otherwise you will be really hopeless in a few years! Didn't you find out? Your His temperament is becoming more and more like a dog! No one would just put a bug in his mouth casually, and it wouldn't be disgusting!"

Back in the day, Youshu had eaten rotten food and mutated insects and beasts, so how could she dislike a unicorn fairy, but these were secrets, and she couldn't tell others, so she had to pretend not to hear them.
