i am afraid

King Qin was in a bad mood when he came out of the room. Everyone can see the sacred meaning of the title of the sixth younger brother. Holding the military power, his second child wants to ascend the throne, unless this kid dies suddenly in the middle.

Because of this, he no longer has much hope for the succession, but if he has no hope, he is still a prince with real power. Why should he kneel and sit with the seventh child before the old man's sick bed?Forget about the old seven, he is young and ignorant, maybe his brain is not working well, but what is Zhou Wanyi?Sitting next to the old man without any discount and accepting his etiquette, do you really think you are a queen?

King Qin came out full of resentment, he saw King Duan as soon as he raised his eyes, the veins on his forehead twitched, he turned his eyes away.

"Chengyuan is here, don't worry about your grandfather, it's fine, ah. But I said, why don't you grow taller when I look at you?" Qin Wang stretched out his hand, and brought Jiang Yan to him, raised his hand for comparison, only It's a little lower than the chest, and it seems to be shorter than when he measured it last time.

The expression on Jiang Yan's face was almost tense, did he not grow taller?It's clearly the second uncle, you've grown taller again!

"Second Uncle Lao, put my nephew back." Jiang Yan said forcefully.

King Qin put Jiang Yan back where he was, raised his hand and tugged at Jiang Yan's slightly pale face, frowned and said, "I said you didn't grow up, you were so thin, like a little girl."

Jiang Yan was pulled so hard that his face ached, and his gender was even suspected. Hearing this, he looked at King Qin dumbly. Fortunately, at this time, King Ning, who had always been at odds with him, rescued him.

"Come on, second brother, to be serious, did the emperor tell you to go in and say anything?"

King Qin's expression darkened, and he glanced at King Duan: "Father asked you to bring Cheng Yuan in, besides Lao Qi and Zhou Wanyi, don't blame me for not reminding you earlier, don't kneel so early, let people take advantage of you for nothing. "

He just didn't expect that the old man would keep people in the inner palace when he was seriously ill, and he knelt down without raising his head. Even if he found Zhou Wanyi and the seventh prince sitting facing him, he couldn't get up if the old man didn't speak, because He is still an old man who kneels in name.If he had paid attention and reminded him before he saluted, he wouldn't believe that Zhou Wanyi still had such a big face.

Duan Wang laughed brilliantly when he heard the words: "So the second brother was taken advantage of just now?"

[Hahahaha, his face is so dark, he must have knelt down to that old woman hahaha] Jiang Yan was silent for a moment, feeling that he would not be able to look directly at the third uncle who was praised by the government and the public as a model of a gentleman.

King Qin's face darkened even more, he pushed back to leave the dynasty, feeling deeply that he shouldn't have come this way.

Duan Wang's smile quickly subsided, he patted the resentful Ning Wang on the shoulder, and said to Jiang Yan: "Let's go, follow Third Uncle, Third Uncle will not let you suffer."

When he said the last few words, he narrowed his eyes, revealing a kind of deep wisdom, which didn't match the heart at that moment just now.

Jiang Yan hasn't seen the emperor's grandfather for a long time. When he was the son of heaven, he was named Yuanchu, and he was different from the vigorous young emperor when he just changed Yuanchu. Emperor Yuanchu is now an old man in sixties, even though his eyes still reveal the The majesty of the emperor, but his wrinkled face has inevitably been stained with a trace of lifelessness.

Jiang Yan raised his head without any taboos, and saw a beautiful woman in palace costume about thirty years old sitting on the side of the couch, with her head half down, a strand of hair hanging down her cheek, feeding medicine to the imperial grandfather who was half leaning on the pillow .Sitting next to him was a four or five-year-old boy, playing with the small objects in his hands boredly. The direction they were sitting was facing him and the third uncle, and they had no intention of getting up at all.

He frowned slightly, and met the eyes cast by Emperor Yuanchu.

"Chengyuan, and third child, why don't you kneel down when you see me?" Emperor Yuanchu also frowned, and displeasure flashed in his cloudy eyes.

Before King Duan could speak, Jiang Yan suddenly said, "Grandfather, this is inappropriate."

The knot between the eyebrows of Emperor Yuanchu was even deeper, and the deep decree lines on his cheeks made him look extremely harsh. His tone was very displeased: "What's wrong? Are you going to be angry with me too?"

Jiang Yan didn't know who the Yuanchu emperor was referring to, but he really didn't mean to be arrogant, but said: "Grandfather, there is a certain number of concubines who are sick, and my grandson remembers that Wanyi can only be accompanied by concubines of the third rank and above. Patient."

He stared at Zhou Wanyi's hair like a cloud, and paused for a moment, then added: "Perhaps the emperor's grandfather has already raised Zhou Wanyi's rank, so let's not say anything about it as a grandson."

Emperor Yuanchu glanced at Zhou Wanyi coldly, but said nothing, "I will decree tomorrow that Zhou Wanyi of Jin Dynasty will be the second-rank good concubine."

Even after receiving the award, Zhou Wanyi's face turned pale. She bit her lip, and she dared not sit on the bed anymore. She knelt on the ground, and the medicine bowl in her hand was taken by the eunuch who was close to Emperor Yuanchu.

Jiang Yan nodded and stopped talking. At this time, King Duan took a step forward and half-kneeled in front of the emperor's bed in the early Yuan Dynasty, "Father, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Emperor Yuanchu glanced at him, pointed at the seventh prince, and said, "It's been a long time since you saw your seventh brother. They are all brothers of the same clan. I think you play well with the fourth and fifth."

Duan Wang smiled helplessly: "Father, my son is as old as Xiao Qi."

Emperor Yuanchu looked at him coldly, and suddenly said, "I'm tired, Zhou Wanyi stays, and everyone else goes out."

Jiang Yan didn't even think about what the emperor's grandfather asked him and his third uncle to do until he returned to the bedroom. As soon as Duan Wang left the palace, his face darkened instantly.

If he was still a little uncertain when the second child went in before, then he was sure almost immediately after he went in, the old man wanted to play tricks!What happened today was actually a test, to test how resistant he and the second child would be to swapping the throne.

Ordinarily, this is the position that he has planned for many years. He wished the old man could play tricks, the bigger the better, but it shouldn't be like this!At least it shouldn't be at this time!Lao Liu holds 50 elite soldiers in his hands, and it is the juncture of successive victories. Is he playing tricks at this time to drag the brothers to die together?Rebellion is such a thing that kills the head, it is to cut the grass and root.

King Duan was careful, and soon understood Emperor Yuanchu's intentions. He organized a think tank overnight to design an emergency plan. King Qin figured it out after thinking about it in the middle of the night. Send a letter directly to Mobei.

The emperor's grandfather was fine, but he asked Zhou Ning to send news to Zhen Guohou's mansion overnight, not only caused a misunderstanding, but also brought trouble to his uncle. Jiang Yan was a little sorry, but Zhen Guohou's mansion didn't say anything.

Zhou Ning has been a little weird since he came back from Zhen Guohou's mansion that night, but his thoughts have always been chaotic. It is very rare for Jiang Yan to hear his clear voice, so he didn't take it seriously until today. In the morning, when Zhou Ning was changing his clothes, he whispered: "Master, do you still remember the young lady in Zhenguohou's mansion?"

Jiang Yan paused, Zhen Guohou's Pei family has been passed down for several generations, Miss Biao is from Mrs. Pei's natal family, her surname is Lu, that is also a rich family, because of the relationship between Pei's family, when his father was still there, he and that Biao Miss A marriage was arranged, but after his father passed away, no one mentioned this matter again. He didn't know much about what happened afterwards, but he remembered that the girl had the same illness as him, and she also lost her parents not long after, and she lived in Zhen Guohou's mansion.

Zhou Ning peeked at Jiang Yan's face and saw that he was not angry, so he continued: "Miss Lu is getting married, to Prince Ping's son."

Prince Ping is the younger brother of Emperor Yuanchu, and his eldest son is the eldest son. Jiang Yan recalled it, and vaguely remembered that Prince Ping's son was born with a fat head and big ears, very unlike the children of Jiang's family, and he was at least 40 years old. frown.

"Why would my uncle let her marry such a person? Even if you can't find a young talent who is well-matched, you must be of the same age and good character. At 40 years old, is he a continuation?"

Seeing that Jiang Yan still had time to take pity on Miss Lu, Zhou Ning cried out in distress: "My lord, you are still thinking about this! You don't even think about it, the son of Prince Ping has divorced his wife for several years, how could he suddenly want to marry her?" Marry a wife? Miss Lu, she would rather marry Prince Ping's son than..."

His voice suddenly became quieter, and Jiang Yan's black and thick eyelashes drooped down, coupled with his pale face, it made people want to hug him inexplicably and comfort him.

Jiang Yan was silent for a while before saying, "Then, did she do it voluntarily?"

Zhou Ning nodded, more than voluntary, he almost pointed to his forehead and asked him to go back and tell his master not to think about it.

"Then it has nothing to do with me." Jiang Yan said blankly: "You know so well, she gave the invitation?"

Zhou Ning nodded and shook his head. Jiang Yan knew that he wanted to say that the invitation had been sent out, but he confiscated it, and it happened that he didn't want to go either.

Jiang Yan has nothing to complain about. A woman's lifelong event is much more important than a man's. The promise between her parents disappeared with their passing. She really has no need to be loyal to him, and they haven't even met a few times.

That's what he said, but compared to someone like Prince Ping, no matter how Jiang Yan comforted himself, he seemed pale and powerless.Uncle was right, he was just an ordinary person, he shouldn't be born in the royal family, and he shouldn't think about other things. Being able to be sent to a wealthy place and be a leisurely prince for a lifetime is enough to make people enviable.

Changing his mind, Jiang Yan suddenly felt his mood open up, and he shook the warm round jade in his hand.

"Zhou Ning, do you think I will meet the woman I like in the fief after I'm released?" Jiang Yan cast his eyes into the distance, and an indistinct expectation flashed in his dark eyes.

In a place far away from the royal capital, he met a woman he liked and also liked him, married and had children, and after a hundred years, the children and grandchildren will multiply and live in his fief, and gradually become ordinary people, generation after generation, Live happily and peacefully.

Zhou Ning just looked at his side face, a little stunned.
