every step of the way

There are many houses in the West Courtyard.In the two north rooms next to each other, lived the former emperor's two crazy concubines.Ye Xuan has always been afraid, the house she lives in is the furthest away from those two houses.On weekdays, it would be better for Nian Hua to be by Ye Xuan's side.However, as long as Nian Hua goes to help the imperial dining room, Ye Xuan will lock the door tightly.One of those two crazy concubines insisted on hugging Ye Xuan once, and Ye Xuan was frightened.

This day, Ye Xuan was hiding in his small room alone again, playing with the sandbag that Nianhua sewed for him to relieve his boredom, it was quite a joy.

Suddenly, Ye Xuan heard the sound of "dong dong dong" running from outside.Unable to resist curiosity, Ye Xuan secretly opened the window a small gap to look out.

"Second Brother..." Ye Xuan yelled to the people coming.

The person who came was none other than the second prince Ye Can who ran out after a quarrel with Concubine Rou.

Ye Can heard someone calling himself, and looked at the source of the sound, "Huh? Xiao Xuaner!" Ye Xuan walked to the window and said, "Why are you here? The queen mother said that you were punished by the emperor, I thought you I went out of the palace, and my brother was in vain to worry about!"

Ye Xuan ran to open the door with a smile, welcomed Ye Can in, and said, "Brother Erhuang, Xuan'er misses you so much!" As she spoke, she hugged Ye Can and hung her on Ye Can's body.

There is no intrigue among adults among children.If you stay together for a long time, you can become a very good partner.Concubine Rou was afraid that Ye Can's tongue would not be tight, but she didn't say anything outrageous to Ye Can.When they were in Liangyi Hall, Ye Can and Ye Xuan played very well.Ye Xuan loves to pester this brother who plays with him, and Ye Can also takes good care of Xiao Ye Xuan who is as white, tender, cute and beautiful as a dumpling.In general, the two are brothers and sisters.

Ye Can hugged Ye Xuan tightly, fearing that he would fall, and said: "Xiao Xuan'er, you are sinking! My brother and I can hardly hold you anymore! Have you gained weight? I won't call you Xiao Xuan'er in the future I'm calling you little chubby!"

"Xuan'er! Xuan'er hasn't become heavy!" Ye Xuan pouted, struggling to get off Ye Can's body, "Brother is bad! Xuan'er has grown taller! That's why I won't become a chubby man! Big brother is Little Fatty!"

"Okay, okay! My brother is bad! Xuan'er is not a little chubby!" Ye Can put Ye Xuan on the bed.

After making noise for a long time, Ye Xuan was also tired, sat on the bed, gasped for several breaths, and then said, "Second Brother, why are you here?"

Ye Can frowned, and said: "I'm not a mother concubine! I insist on reading and reading! What did you say that I will not be allowed to practice guns in the future! If you don't practice guns, just read books, it will kill me!"

"Brother Erhuang, why don't you like reading?" Ye Xuan couldn't understand his elder brother's suffering, and said, "The books you read before are very interesting!" In the past, when Ye Xuan lived in Liangyi Hall In order to show off that he is an older brother, Ye Can often teaches Xiao Ye Xuan how to read.Ye Can thought Xiao Yexuan would be the same as himself, a student who had a difficult time.Unexpectedly, the talented Xiao Yexuan memorized all the words he had taught.Xiao Yexuan didn't go to study in the study, but he also read the Four Books and Five Classics.

Ye Can puffed up his eyes and said, "How could that kind of thing be as interesting as marksmanship?"

Ye Xuan lowered his head and said: "It's really interesting!" Then he said depressedly: "It's a pity that I can't even read books here!"

Although Ye Can couldn't understand why his younger brother liked his favorite book so much, he still knew that his younger brother was very unhappy. 24 Filial brother Ye Can patted his chest and said: "Xiao Xuaner, if you want to read a book, you can wrap it with your brother! From now on, brother will bring books for you to read every day!"

Ye Xuan's eyes suddenly burst into light: "Really? That's great! Brother Erhuang, Xuan'er likes you the most."

"Hey hey hey..." Brother 24 Xiao began to giggle non-stop after hearing his younger brother's confession of love.

Hall of Huanyi.

"Imperial Concubine, I heard people say that the Second Prince had a quarrel with Concubine Rou today and ran away!" Xiaoyuan said to Huang Guifei gloating.

Concubine Huang said lazily: "Arguing? Why did you quarrel? Isn't Concubine Rou always reluctant to beat her son?"

Xiaoyuan said: "My maidservant feels that it is likely that His Royal Highness the Eldest Prince won the favor and was allowed to go to the south of the Yangtze River, which made Concubine Rou unhappy again and blamed the Second Prince!"

Concubine Huang Gui smiled and said: "Her son with a thick back and a waist, wants to compete with the eldest prince of this palace, and he doesn't see if he is qualified enough."

"What Your Majesty said is that the Eldest Prince's talents are out of the ordinary, definitely not something in a pool." Xiaoyuan said.

Concubine Huang Gui said: "It's only natural, the son of this palace is definitely much better than the child born to the little bastard Youti and the concubine Rou!"

……

Chapter 11

West courtyard.

Nianhua felt that the sixth prince seemed very happy today.Looking at Ye Xuan's immature face and cheerful expression, Nian Hua finally couldn't help asking: "Sixth prince, what happened to you today? Why are you so happy?"

Ye Xuan laughed even more presumptuously, and said, "Brother Erhuang came to see me today!"

Nianhua's expression changed, but he recovered quickly, forced himself to smile and asked, "Do you have a good relationship with His Royal Highness the Second Prince?"

"Of course!" Ye Xuan said it as a matter of course, "When I was in Liangyi Hall, although my mother and concubine didn't like me, Brother Erhuang treated me very well!"

Listening to what Ye Xuan said about the second emperor brother and mother concubine, Nian Hua couldn't help interrupting him, telling him not to recognize the thief as his father anymore.However, Nian Hua couldn't bear it. Ye Xuan knew his life experience when he was still so young, and fell into such hatred and pain.

Seeing Nian Hua ignoring herself for so long, Ye Xuan's expression became strange again. Ye Xuan carefully grabbed Nian Hua's sleeve, and asked timidly, "Aunt Nian Hua, what's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

Nian Hua paused, and said: "Your servant is fine, I was thinking about other things just now. I am not unhappy!"

Hearing what Nian Hua said, Ye Xuan felt relieved and said, "Auntie, Brother Erhuang said that he will bring a book for me to read tomorrow!"

"Sixth prince, you can read!" Nian Hua asked in surprise.

It's no wonder that Nian Hua thinks Ye Xuan is illiterate.The children of the royal family are enlightened earlier, usually at the age of six.And Ye Xuan is only five years old now.In addition, Ye Xuan is not valued by the emperor, not to mention now, even if he turns six years old next year, the emperor may not even remember having such a son, and he cannot remember that it is time to find a master to enlighten the sixth prince.But now, the five-year-old Xiao Yexuan actually said that he can read and write, which really surprised Nianhua.

Ye Xuan said proudly: "Of course Xuan'er can read! The characters Xuan'er knows are all taught by Brother Erhuang. Brother Erhuang loves Xuan'er the most!"

Nianhua tapped the tip of Ye Xuan's nose, and said with a smile, "You just need to know how to read! Xuan'er is awesome! You have to read the book well!"

Hall of Liangyi.

"Your Majesty, the Second Prince is back!" The little maid outside the Liangyi Hall rushed in to report in a panic.

Concubine Rou suddenly sat up from the floppy bed, and said, "You're back? Call her in quickly."

"Yes, empress!" The little maid quickly retreated out of the room step by step.

After a while, Ye Can came in from the outer room, knelt down on one knee and said, "My son knocks on my mother and concubine!"

Concubine Rou wanted Ye Can to wake up in her heart, but she just didn't show it on the face, and didn't pay attention to Ye Can.

Ye Can thought: I'm pregnant!It seems that the concubine mother is really angry!On weekdays, how could she be willing to let me kneel here and ignore me? "Mother and concubine, I know I was wrong! I will not quarrel with you in the future!"

After all, Concubine Rou felt sorry for her son, and said, "Get up! Where did you go then? Are you tired, thirsty, thirsty, or hungry?" She asked a series of questions.

Ye Can was not stupid, knowing that his mother and concubine didn't like or even hated his younger brother, so he said, "I just went to the Royal Garden. I'm not tired, thirsty or hungry."

Concubine Rou looked at her son and said, "Chan'er, concubine mother knows that you don't like reading. But, as the son of your father, are you willing that the eldest prince will always receive more love from his father than you?"

Concubine mother, concubine mother, if you can't compete with concubine Huang Gui, why bother to let your ministers compete with the eldest brother?Ye Can thought so in his heart, but he dared not say it no matter what, so he could only say: "My son is not reconciled! My son will study hard in the future!"

Concubine Rou said: "That's good! What's wrong with the eldest prince being favored by the emperor and going to the south of the Yangtze River? Maybe he went crazy playing in the south of the Yangtze River, playing wild! No one cares about him outside for two years, maybe what he will look like."

Ye Can smiled awkwardly, and said: "What the concubine mother said is true! Brother Dahuang's going to Jiangnan may not necessarily be a good thing."

Concubine Rou nodded, and said: "Chan'er, you have to study hard! Let your father value you, fight for my mother and concubine, and let that bitch Huang Zimu not be so complacent!"

Day two.

"Chan'er, where are you going?" Concubine Rou asked Ye Can, who was holding two books.

Ye Can scratched his head with the other hand that was not holding the book, and said, "Concubine Mother, didn't you tell my son to study hard? I thought about it, but I couldn't learn it in Liangyi Hall. I found a beautiful place in the garden, and there are few palace people coming and going, so I want to go there to study, and I won't be distracted."

Concubine Rou smiled and said, "Chan'er, I am so happy to see you working so hard! But don't get tired! Go!"

"Mother and concubine, don't worry! I won't tire myself!" Ye Can said, and left.

Seeing Ye Can go out, Concubine Rou said to Xiaoyuan: "Xiaoyuan, you go and follow Can'er! Help Ben Gong to see where Can'er is going."

Madoka said: "Yes!"

After a while, Madoka came back.

Concubine Rou asked: "Where did Can'er go?"

Xiaoyuan said: "Go back to your mother, the second prince did go to a relatively remote rockery in the Imperial Garden. The scenery there is beautiful, and few people go there. Madam, it seems that the second prince really went to study, don't worry !"

On the other side of the imperial garden, Ye Can was sitting in front of the stone bench, pretending to be reading a book, but his eyes glanced at the side of the road from time to time.Seeing Xiaoyuan sneaking a look at her and then leaving, she was relieved.Ye Can put the book in his arms, and said: "My concubine likes to play tricks like this with me! I'm not a child anymore, how could I not be able to avoid this level of stalking!" Ye Can said, Chan secretly went to the West Courtyard by another road.

As a standard 24-year-old brother, Ye Can promised Ye Xuan's thing, and he must do it!

Chapter 12

West courtyard.

Ye Xuan knew that Ye Can was coming, so the door was ajar.

"Xiao Xuaner!" Ye Can pushed open the door, "Brother is here!"

Ye Xuan rushed over at once, Ye Can supported Ye Xuan with both hands, and said: "Why are you so reckless, you are not afraid that my brother will not be able to catch you, and you will fall again!"

Ye Xuan raised his head, a small smiling face appeared in Ye Can's eyes, only to hear Ye Xuan say: "Xuan'er knows Brother Erhuang will definitely catch me! Brother Erhuang, where is Xuan'er's book? "

Ye Can suddenly said "Hey Yo", and then made a bitter face, and said, "Xuan'er, brother forgot, what should I do?"

Ye Xuan turned his back all of a sudden, pursed his mouth, and said, "My brother is bad! I promised Xuan'er's books, but I won't bring them! Xuan'er doesn't like my brother anymore!"

"Xiao Xuan'er, you really don't like brother?" Ye Can took out two books from his robe, pretending to be distressed, "Since Xuan'er doesn't like brother, then this book, brother and I, But take it away!"

Ye Xuan snatched the book and said, "Second Brother, you lied to Xuan'er!"

Seeing Ye Xuan's happy look at the book, the younger brother Ye Can was also very happy, and said: "I don't know if this thing is good-looking or not, whether you like it or not, if you don't like it, I will give it to you another day." You find two."

Ye Xuan looked at the two books in his hand, one was "Warring States Policy" and the other was "Shan Hai Jing".Ye Xuan said: "There is no dislike, Xuaner likes it very much, Xuaner likes all kinds of books!"

Ye Can said: "Brother also thinks you will like it! This "Warring States Policy" is about an unknown era. It may have passed for a long time at that time, and there were wars among several countries! And this " Shan Hai Jing is even more fun! There are many strange plants and animals in it! There is a fox with nine tails, a willow with nine heads, a white cat with a snake tail and a human body, another pet of Nu Wa, the Teng Snake, There is also chaos, which is very interesting! I like watching this the most!"

Ye Xuan said, "Then I'll take a good look at it."

Hall of Huanyi.

Concubine Huang Gui looked a little unhappy with a sad face.

"Aifei, what's wrong with you?" Ye Mian asked.

Concubine Huang Gui sighed and said, "Your Majesty, my concubine, I am worried about Wei'er!"

"Wei'er hasn't left yet, you, mother and concubine, can't bear it?" Ye Mian smiled and said, "Wei'er is going out this time for the sake of gaining insight, and it won't take any hardships. You are so worried do what?"

Concubine Huang Gui smiled wryly for a while, and said: "The concubine knows it. But isn't this a mother, is this all on her mind! I am afraid that my child will leave me."

Ye Mian embraced Concubine Huang and said, "Zimu, you have to trust Wei'er. Your child and I will grow up to be the best in the future."

Ye Mian's words undoubtedly gave Huang Zimu a reassurance, and also slightly revealed that he valued Ye Wei very much and even had a great possibility of establishing Ye Wei as the crown prince.Huang Zimu was happy all of a sudden, and said: "The concubine will teach Wei'er well, and you will not be disappointed."

three days later.

The eldest prince Ye Wei is going to set off with Jiangnan Governor Huang Ziyu and head for Jiangnan.Emperor Ye Mian personally practiced it for Ye Wei, and at the same time asked the eldest prince's mother concubine Huang Guifei Huang Zimu to go with him and stand beside the emperor at the place where only the queen could stand, to show the emperor's love for the eldest prince and Huang Guifei.

Among the concubines in the harem, even though everyone was jealous to death, they still stood in a row in front of the palace gate, the expressions on their faces were very happy, and slowly they were all blessings, and they practiced together for the eldest prince.

And in the West Courtyard in the distance, Nian Hua was filled with anger when he heard the solemn sound of bells and music and the faint laughter.This kind of etiquette is obviously only used when the emperor's son travels far away from the palace.However, Huang Zimu, the son of a noble concubine, enjoys such etiquette, which is an insult to the empress.Nian Hua looked at the dilapidated house in the West Courtyard again. Her master, the sixth prince, was still too young after all.

Ye Xuan sat upright on the small bench with a small body, put the book on the small table in front of him, and read the book seriously.

After hearing Ye Can's introduction, Ye Xuan said that he is not very interested in the fights between several countries in "Warring States Policy" for the time being, but is more interested in those strange nine-tailed characters in "Shan Hai Jing". Fox, Teng Snake, Xiangliu, etc. were very interested, so he was reading "Shan Hai Jing".

After dinner, Ye Xuan and Nian Hua lay on the bed and talked.

"Aunt Nianhua, Xuan'er watched "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" today. It was so fun!" Ye Xuan said excitedly.Nian Hua said: "Is that so? The sixth prince, you should explain it to the servant, the servant has never read it."

Ye Xuan said: "Auntie, let me tell you that in the "Shan Hai Jing", there is a strange animal that looks like a monkey. Although I have never seen a monkey, this animal is called a monkey. It is said that if Trapping Xuanxuan's soul in the mirror, this mirror can remember what I want to see. Auntie, what is a soul? I also want to trap Xuanxuan's soul in the mirror, so that I can see It's time for the emperor's grandmother."

Nian Hua said: "Soul? I can't explain it to you. However, the soul is very important to us. No one wants their soul to be trapped."

"Ah?" Ye Xuan was shocked, "Auntie, what if Xuan'er's soul is trapped?"

Nian Hua said: "The Sixth Prince is so good, his soul will not be trapped. If the Sixth Prince's soul is trapped, the servant will spare no effort to rescue the Sixth Prince. Don't be afraid!"

"Yeah!" Ye Xuan nodded desperately, and said, "With my aunt by my side, Xuan'er is not afraid!"

Nian Hua said: "It's late, sixth prince, go to bed!"

……

Chapter 13

Six years later.

"Sixth Prince, it's time to eat." Nian Hua shouted.

Ye Xuan didn't seem to hear, the pen in his hand didn't stop, he kept writing.After another cup of tea, Ye Xuan put down his pen, shook his arms, and walked to the dining table.

Nian Hua said: "The rice is already cold, I will go and heat it up again!"

Ye Xuan blocked it with her hand, and said, "Auntie Nian, no need. I'm not hungry, just eat a little, no need to bother. I have to read a book again later."

Nian Hua sighed, but didn't go to heat up the meal.

Ye Xuan is 11 years old, but he doesn't look like an 11-year-old child at all, instead he is so sensible.Since three years ago, when Ye Wei returned to the palace, Nian Hua accidentally slipped his mouth and was overheard by Ye Xuan.Ye Xuan asked about his life experience.

three years ago.

Ye Wei returns to the palace.Eight-year-old Ye Xuan sneaked out of the West Courtyard to watch the excitement.After returning, Ye Xuan said in a tone full of envy: "Brother Dahuang is back! Brother Dahuang is really amazing, he went so far to the south of the Yangtze River. There is also Huang Guifei, who is so beautiful! She is even more beautiful than my concubine mother! "

After hearing this, Nian Hua was furious and said: "What kind of mother concubine Huang Guifei is not worthy to be compared with the sixth prince and your mother! If something happened to the empress, how could these two sluts be so arrogant!"

Ye Xuan froze for a moment.In this palace, Ye Xuan still knew about the queen's status.The only mother of a country who can stand beside the emperor, the most honorable woman in the palace.But what did the aunt mean?I am the Queen's child?Then why do I have a concubine?Then why haven't I met the empress?Why does the emperor hate me so much?Am I really the empress's child?Will not!Brother Erhuang is my real brother, he treats me so well!If it's not a compatriot of the same mother, the second brother wouldn't love me so much!

"Auntie, are you kidding me!" Ye Xuan wanted to laugh desperately, but couldn't, "I am the child of Concubine Rou, even though the concubine does not love me as much as the second brother! I can't be the empress's." child."

Hearing Ye Xuan's denial, Nian Hua shook his head: "No! Sixth Prince, you are really the empress's child. Nine years ago..." Nian Hua related everything nine years ago, about the You family, about the Queen You Ti, everything has been said.

After Ye Xuan listened, the eight-year-old child calmly listened to everything, without any overreaction that a child should have, but smiled lightly and said, "Aunt Nian, I will definitely sit on the top seat." Your seat!" Because that seat belongs to me, and only I can sit there.For this, I will stop at nothing.

……

Ever since Ye Xuan found out about her life experience, Nian Hua seldom saw Ye Xuan act like a child and act coquettishly and get scared.Ye Xuan has become very mature.

On the surface, the relationship between Ye Xuan and the second prince is still as close as before, but in fact it is not.From that time on, Ye Xuan isolated himself from others.Ye Xuan still laughed and laughed with Ye Can calmly, but after Ye Can left, there would be boundless hatred in his eyes, which was mixed with countless contradictions.Sometimes, Ye Xuan would wonder how he should treat his second brother.The second emperor's brother is so kind to him, but his mother and concubine are also one of the people who harmed his mother and concubine.Ye Xuan knew that no matter what, he and the second brother could not be the same as before.

like now.

The 15-year-old Ye Can has grown into a hulking young man, and his complexion has also turned brownish red. Compared with before, he looks more robust.Ye Can is 15 years old and has already entered the barracks for training.After leaving the palace, he seldom came back.When I come back occasionally, I will never forget to visit Ye Xuan in the West Courtyard.

No matter how hard-minded Ye Can is, he can see from Ye Xuan's various performances that he is unusual.After all, when Ye Xuan saw Ye Can, he would act coquettishly and play around with his brother, and even lose his temper when Ye Xuan was in a bad mood.I don't know when, Ye Xuan became more and more polite to Ye Can, his brother, and his tone became more and more polite, but he became more and more alienated, and the intimacy in the past was completely gone.

Once, Ye Can asked Ye Xuan very unwillingly, and he said at that time: "Xiao Xuaner, did brother do something wrong? Why does brother feel that you don't want to talk to me now!"

And what did Ye Xuan say at that time?Oh, he said this: "Brother Er Huang said that, are you joking? Xuaner, how dare you be angry with Brother Er Huang?"

Ye Xuan never said why.However, Ye Xuan was clearly still angry and unhappy.Ye Can felt that Ye Xuan was only angry for a while, and one day, the relationship between their brothers would be restored to the original state.Until, Ye Can learned of Ye Xuan's life experience from his mother and concubine, the son of the former empress.Ye Can knew the reason why Ye Xuan gradually alienated him.The hatred inherited from the mother's generation still ruined their brother's relationship after all.

With his mother and concubine on one side and his younger brother on the other, Ye Can also didn't know how to deal with it, so he had to leave the palace early to join the barracks.Perhaps, this is also the best choice for Ye Can!

Chapter 14

Hall of Huanyi.

Ye Mian, Huang Guifei, Ye Wei, Ye Huang, Ye Shuo and Princess Gu Lun Ye Xiruo are eating.

Princess Gulun Ye Xiruo is the only daughter of Ye Mian, who has been doted on by Ye Mian since she was a child.Therefore, several princes are full of reverence for their father, but only Ye Xiruo regards Ye Mian as his father, and often acts like a baby to Ye Mian.

That's right, Ye Mian never liked talking during meals, the sons and Concubine Huang Gui all ate quietly, not touching Ye Mian's scales.Ye Xiruo, who was not willing to be lonely, broke the rule of "not talking when eating, not talking when sleeping".

"Father..." Ye Xiruo called out.

Ye Mian put down his chopsticks, looked at his daughter lovingly, and said, "Xi Ruo, what do you want me to do?"

Ye Xiruo said: "Father, my son heard that the special envoy of Goryeo will come to worship soon!"

Ye Mian said: "Yes!"

"My son also wants to go!" Ye Xiruo said, "I have never seen a person from Goryeo! I heard that people from Goryeo are good-looking, but they speak strangely."

Ye Wei interrupted his younger sister, and said seriously: "You are a daughter, and you see the country of Korea come to envoy. What a nonsense! Father, you can't spoil her."

Ye Mian smiled and said, "Wei'er, don't be so serious to Xi Ruo! My precious daughter is going to meet an envoy from a foreign country to save face. Why can't she go? Xi Ruo, I agree! "

"Thank you, father!" Ye Xiruo was very happy.

Hall of Liangyi.

"What! You said that the emperor actually agreed to what that little girl Ye Xiruo said in the film, and allowed her to go to receive the envoy from the Kingdom of Korea together?" Concubine Rou almost tore the handkerchief in her hand.

Xiaoyuan said: "Yes! Your Majesty! I didn't expect the Emperor to love Princess Gu Lun so much, and to ignore the ancestral etiquette and allow an unmarried princess to show her face, and to show her face in front of foreign envoys."

Concubine Rou gritted her teeth and said: "I don't believe it anymore, this time there is no official account for that woman!"

Xiaoyuan comforted: "Your Majesty, don't get so angry! The Emperor won't spoil Huang Guifei forever!"

Concubine Rou said: "That's right! I want to see if the emperor will still love her so much when that bitch Huang Zimu gets old and frail."

West courtyard.

"Aunt Nianhua, you have already confirmed that Ye Xiruo and Ye Wei will go to meet the envoy of Korea, right?" Ye Xuan asked.

Nian Hua said: "It has been spread all over the palace, so it must be true."

"Father really loves Ye Xiruo!" Ye Xuan said coldly, but a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "So much love, I don't care about the rules left by my ancestors."

Nian Hua said: "Prince Six, you..."

Ye Xuan said: "Me? I'm fine? Aunt Nianhua, you don't think I'll be jealous of Ye Xiruo! No, that royal father, I've stopped treating him as my father a long time ago! But let her alone It's really, really uncomfortable for the noble concubine's daughter to be favored by me that should belong only to me!"

Nianhua didn't speak anymore, she felt that she couldn't understand the sixth prince more and more.He is obviously only an 11-year-old child, but he often shows a too deep expression.

Soon, the envoys of the Goryeo Kingdom came.

Ye Wei, the eldest son of the emperor, and Ye Xiruo, Princess of Gulun, took the relevant officials of the Ministry of Rites and the guards of the capital to welcome the envoys of the Goryeo Kingdom at the gate of the city.

Zheng Jizi, the representative of the envoys of the Goryeo Kingdom, and Ye Wei and others greeted each other with a group of people.

Zheng Jizi looked at Ye Xiruo, and suddenly said: "Your Highness, is this beauty a gift from His Majesty the Emperor to us Koreans? She is really beautiful, but she is a little smaller! Hahaha..."

Ye Wei's face suddenly became ugly. Although it was outside the city, there were many people watching the fun, not to mention a group of old men from the Ministry of Rites. People in Koryo could not recognize Princess Gulun, but not all the people and ministers They couldn't recognize her, and now, Ye Xiruo's reputation would be lost.

But before Ye Wei had time to speak, Ye Xiruo lost his temper and said, "Bold! This princess is Princess Gu Lun of Dayan, and you actually said that this princess is a beauty dedicated to you!"

This time, Ye Wei's face became even darker.If Ye Xiruo didn't reveal his identity, Ye Wei could still think of a way to silence some people.But once Ye Xiruo admitted, Ye Wei couldn't even hide it.

Zheng Jizi smiled awkwardly and said, "So it's Her Royal Highness Princess Gulun! I'm being rude."

Ye Wei hurriedly said before Ye Xiruo: "The ambassador is laughing at you! Please follow me into the palace to meet the emperor!"

After the pilgrimage, Zheng Jizi and the others were placed in the other hall to rest.And Ye Wei went to the imperial study.

"What are you talking about! Those people in Goryeo actually regarded Xiruo as a beauty reward, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites and many people heard about it." Ye Mian was furious.

Ye Wei said: "Yes! My son thinks that someone must have done this on purpose!"

"Check it out for me!" Ye Mian said, "I want to know right away. Someone dares to plot against my daughter."

"Yes! My son, let's go!"

In the West courtyard.

Nian Hua said: "Our Princess Gu Lun has shown her face this time!"

Ye Xuan smiled lightly, and said: "Indeed! A princess of a country is treated as that kind of woman. What is the national prestige of my Dayan! Father dares to investigate! I really don't know what it means!"

Chapter 15

Ganquan Palace.

"Did you find out?" Ye Mian asked.

"Check... found out." Ye Wei said.

Ye Mian asked: "Who is it?"

Ye Wei said: "Father, the person sent by my ministers to the other hall, from the Koryo envoys, is the second emperor's younger brother."

Ye Mian raised his head and stared at Ye Wei, and said, "What are you talking about? It's impossible!" In Ye Mian's mind, although Ye Can was not like himself, he had always been very upright, and he didn't seem like someone who could do such a thing.It's nothing more than Ye Mian doesn't believe it.

"I don't want to believe that the second emperor's younger brother did it, but I dare not lie to my father!" Ye Wei knelt in front of Ye Mian, "The people I sent to the other halls pretended to be ordinary officials and communicated with Koryo. After getting drunk, I found out from Zheng Jizi that it was the second brother who sent someone to tell them that the father would reward them with a beautiful woman!"

After hearing Ye Wei's words, Ye Mian almost collapsed on the dragon chair.

Ye Wei hurriedly got up to look, "Father, what's wrong with you?"

Ye Mian waved his hand feebly, and said: I——It's all right!You go down first!I think about it by myself. "

"Yes! Your servant will leave!" Ye Wei bowed and withdrew.

Hall of Huanyi.

Concubine Huang Gui said: "What did you say, Xiruo was harmed by Ye Can? The emperor actually let you go, and didn't say how to punish Ye Can?"

Ye Wei said: "Mother and concubine, I don't think the second brother is such a person! Maybe the father wants to find out more clearly!"

"Why isn't he such a person? You've all been deceived by him!" Concubine Huang said angrily, "Concubine Rou, that bitch always puts on a show. Do you think her son can be any better? Concubine Rou must have taught him Yes! Broken Xi Ruo's reputation!"

"Mother Concubine, if Concubine Rou taught the Second Emperor's younger brother, how could she leave such a big gap?" Ye Wei said.

Concubine Huang said: "That's the purpose of Concubine Rou. Ye Can looks carefree on the surface, but it's hard to guarantee that he won't put his mind on that seat. Even your father doesn't believe that Ye Can did it. It can be seen how deep Ye Can hides!"

Ye Wei said: "The second emperor's younger brother is only thinking about going to the Northwest to fight, and I feel that the second emperor's younger brother does not covet that seat!"

Concubine Huang said: "You silly boy! Even if Ye Canzhi is not here, is Concubine Rou's Zhang family also not here? Since the decline of You's family, Concubine Rou's mother's Zhang family has faintly become the head of military generals. Although we The royal family has an extraordinary status among civil servants, but now it is not a peaceful and prosperous time, and several countries around Dayan are about to make trouble, your father, the emperor, still attaches great importance to martial arts."

Ye Wei said, "What does Concubine Mu mean?"

Huang Guifei said: "What I mean by this palace is that Concubine Rou is also very favored, so there is no guarantee that your father will definitely set you up!"

"What does the concubine think the son should do?" Ye Wei asked.

"I feel that whether Ye Can did it this time or not, we must implement him!" Huang Guifei said, "Moreover, we will make your father deal with Ye Can cruelly!"

West courtyard.

"Sixth prince, the word is spreading in the palace now!" Nian Hua said, "Everyone says that the second prince framed Princess Gu Lun."

Ye Xuan said: "It spread? So fast! I thought it would take a while!"

"My servant is bold!" Nianhua asked suddenly, "I am thinking, will this incident have something to do with you, the sixth prince?"

"Hahaha...!" Ye Xuan laughed suddenly, and said, "Aunt Nianhua, this matter was done by Brother Er Huang, and it has nothing to do with Xuan'er!"

Nian Hua's face became ugly, and he said: "Xiao Bing told this servant that someone has used the hidden power of the You family. The most likely person is the sixth prince, you!"

A cold light flashed in Ye Xuan's eyes: "Aunt Nianhua, I said, it's not me! You have to remember, no matter who asks you, this matter has nothing to do with me!"

Nian Hua trembled subconsciously, feeling terrified in her heart: How could the sixth prince become like this?Actually framed the second prince!That's the second prince who loves him like his own brother!

Ye Xuan looked at Nian Hua who was trembling with fright, a sneer sneered at the corner of his mouth: Why, do you think I'm cruel?Didn't the empress mother die tragically in Changshu Ancient Temple because her heart was too soft?Wasn't the You family back then defeated because they were too noble and upright?I'm just fighting tit for tat!

Hall of Liangyi.

"What should I do? Now everyone in the palace is saying that you framed Princess Gu Lun! Your Majesty, he will definitely be suspicious!" Concubine Rou said nervously.

Ye Can was very calm: "Mother, don't worry so much! Father will not do anything to me, after all, I am still his son!"

"Who is framing you!" Concubine Rou slapped the table angrily, "If I find out, I will definitely not let him go!"

"My son doesn't know either! Maybe it's my uncle's political opponent!" Although Ye Can said so in his mouth, he didn't think so in his heart.Because, the court is now divided into two factions, one is the Huang family and the other is the Zhang family.The Zhang family's political enemies are all from the Huang family, and they will not damage Princess Gu Lun's reputation just to frame him.The Huang family would not do such stupid things as "injure one thousand enemies and eight hundred self-injury".There was a voice in Ye Can's heart, this matter had nothing to do with Ye Xuan.Thinking of this, Ye Can showed a bitter smile. Unexpectedly, the child he spoiled would one day deal with him.

Seven days later, news suddenly spread that Princess Gu Lun had hanged herself.

"Your majesty, you have to decide for Xiruo! Xiruo she..." Huang Guifei knelt in front of Ganquan Palace, crying non-stop.

Ye Mian sent someone to bring Huang Guifei into Ganquan Palace.

Concubine Huang Gui cried out of breath and said, "Your Majesty, the Second Prince
