In mid-July, the imperial examinations officially came to an end, and the emperor held a grand banquet in Qionghua Palace to entertain all the ministers. After noon, the emperor moved to Guangyun Garden to watch the generals compete in riding and shooting.

Chu Yu was dressed in black and sat in the first seat. He suddenly lowered his head and yawned. He stretched out his hand to drink the herbal tea with a full face. Last night, he had a fight with You Ning a little late. When he left in the morning, that person was still under the quilt. There was no intention of waking up at all, and he didn't even know that there was a tooth mark on his little paw.

Thinking of his own princess, Chu Yu couldn't help but smile wider at the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help but think of Gu Youning's cute and seductive appearance in a drowsy sleep in the morning. Before he could react, Emperor De Sheng on the dragon chair picked Eyebrows looked at him, and said with a rare smile: "What is Chu Yu thinking, so happy, let me hear it too."

Chu Yu was taken aback for a moment, put down the teacup in his hand, and quickly got up to salute: "Father, please forgive me, my son is disrespectful."

Emperor De Sheng drank some wine, seemed a little tipsy, smiled and waved his hand to let him sit down, at this moment, King Ming also jokingly said: "Wen Wang is now in the arms of the beautiful princess, I don't know how sweet the little life is. , Brother Huang should be happy, my son and daughter-in-law are singing in harmony, so I don't need to worry you so much."

Emperor De Sheng nodded with a smile, and asked, "I may not have seen Princess Wen for a long time, why didn't Chu Yu bring You Ning into the palace today?"

"You Ning has to practice calligraphy with her husband recently, and some time is not available, so I didn't come to pay my respects to my father, and I hope my father will forgive me."

Chu Yu got up, smiled and saluted, the satisfaction and happiness that permeated his whole body couldn't be faked.

"You can pamper him without pampering him, and he is so motivated and sensible. I am very pleased. There is nothing wrong with it. Speaking of which, the matter of Princess Wen's study and education should be the matter of Zuo Xiang, Zuo is quite old. It's hard for you to be lazy." Emperor Desheng seemed really happy, and he raised his hand and told Lin Lu, "Isn't Princess Wen practicing calligraphy? I suddenly remembered that a while ago Yunnan paid tribute to a set of red jade. Stationery, such exquisite things are suitable for you young people, and it happens that he is practicing calligraphy, so just give it to him."

"My son thanked the emperor on Youning's behalf."

Chu Yu bowed and saluted, feeling a little helpless in his heart. He did invite Mr. You Ning to teach calligraphy, because it’s okay for this poor boy to write ugly characters, and he also writes some messy ones, and there are [-] characters on average. There were two or three that Chu Yu couldn't understand.

But Mr. was invited, but Gu Youning ran away in anger. Chu Yu had no choice but to teach him when he was free. Chu Yu had received the most orthodox education, and his etiquette was extremely thorough, but he happened to meet Gu Youning. Little ancestor, just playful, let him write two words quietly, he is either scribbling on paper, or playing tricks on people with ink, when Chu Yu punished him in anger, he kicked his legs in the yard, and he yelled that he felt unwell, She wrapped her arms around Chu Yu's neck to let him hug her, and didn't let go no matter what.

Thinking of him, Prince Wen, who has fought in the battlefield for many years, dispatched troops and generals, regained Xixia, pacified the Northwest, and made great achievements in battle, but Gu Youning was the only one who was not recruited.

It can be seen that it is not nonsense that one thing drops one thing.

Chu Cheng lowered his head with a gloomy expression, rubbing the teacup in his hand once in a while, and occasionally raised his head to see the silver ring on Chu Yu's hand, which was particularly glaring.

Suddenly he thought of Gu Youning's hand, white, slender, and soft, it would look good if he held the ruby ​​wolf hair that the emperor had just rewarded.

He closed his eyes tiredly, sighed, and was just about to get up to confess his guilt, and to retreat first, but he suddenly saw Chu Cheng whispering to the guards beside him and didn't know what he was talking about.

He squinted his eyes, the corners of his mouth raised a sinister angle, and said no more.

Lu An is now only a small official in charge of the Ministry of War. Although Chu Cheng also came forward to intercede that day, and the Prime Minister knew that it was Chu Xiao's instruction, he still failed to change the emperor's opinion. He felt somewhat critical of Chu Xiao in his heart, and Now I really feel that since Chu Xiao was dragged down from the position of prince, he has been different from the past. In the past, he still felt that at least the queen was there, and it would be easy for Chu Xiao to turn around. Who knows, this is the time, the emperor He didn't even mention the matter of storage.

Right Prime Minister Lu's family has been officials for generations, and they used to be relatives of the emperor, with power in the government and the public. He is clear about the disputes among the party members. He has a feeling that the second prince who once followed and even married his daughter may not be anymore. Good Lord, I feel alienated to some extent. Since ancient times, the battle for the heirloom has been life and death. If you follow it, you will be the minister of the humerus in the future. never seen it.

Although the right minister is usually arrogant, he has to be cautious about this kind of thing, so he didn't even go to Chu Xiao's eldest son's first birthday ceremony, but sent someone to send a gift, which is basically the same as the left minister's method back then , can be alienated, in order to tell everyone that he has the intention to draw a clear line.

An angry Chu Xiao dropped the teacup in his hand in the prince's mansion, and even the second prince and concubine were reprimanded, and life became more and more difficult. Even this feast of officials, Chu Xiao brought the side of the eldest son Concubine is here.

The right minister knew that Chu Xiao was embarrassing him in public, but there was nothing he could do. The Lu family had hundreds of people, and the century-old foundation could not be sloppy at all.

Originally, he thought that Lu An would be able to live up to his expectations. Who would have known that something like this would happen, but if it wasn't for this incident, he would not be able to make up his mind. He really hated himself for being short-sighted back then, thinking that Chu Xiao was the eldest son and the queen was in the palace. Everything will be complete. Since ancient times, if the emperor's bedside person intends to support a prince, the chance of success is very high.

Just like today's Holy Majesty, in the past, he was only the prince born of a little daughter-in-law of the first emperor. Although that woman was not favored, she was very good at conceiving and giving birth. The first emperor favored him a few times, and then he had Emperor Desheng and King Ming one after another. The woman, who was framed when she was King Huaiming, died of dystocia, and left without even taking a look at her youngest son.

At that time, everyone thought that these two princes did not have the support of their mother's family, and they were too young to be taught, so they must have nothing to do with the throne reserve. Who would have thought that a royal concubine would come out halfway, and this imperial concubine was the only concubine among the concubines. However, she was favored by the first emperor so much that the queen at that time had no place to stand. However, this imperial concubine took a fancy to Emperor Desheng who was only 14 years old when he was undisciplined. She taught and supported him with one hand. When the first emperor was dying of illness, he tried his best to support him to the throne. Emperor Desheng also felt grateful for the kindness of the imperial concubine. The queen mother was buried with the late emperor.

But now in the harem, Emperor Desheng has no one who favors him alone. Even if Ding Zhaoyi is favored now, he does not have the ability to influence the government of the former emperor's imperial concubine, so the empress has great influence in the harem, and has been married to Emperor Desheng for many years , the right minister took a fancy to this point, so he chose to take refuge in Chu Xiao, who knew that the pillow wind was of no use to De Shengdi.

That's why the second prince's lineage is so down and out now, and there is no hope of turning over.

Just as Prime Minister Right was in a trance and lamenting, the martial arts competition in Guangyun Court had already begun.

Lu An was already young and vigorous, seeing that the fame and fortune he had obtained was gone, he was already going crazy, and wanted to take advantage of this martial arts competition to make a splash, so as to make the emperor change his opinion of him.

So when he came up, he eagerly asked for a competition with King Wen. He felt that everyone said that King Wen was the number one general in Jokhang. If he beat King Wen, he would be the number one general in Jokhang. Don't forget about challenging King Wen, you will be confused by fame and fortune.

Chu Yu knew that Lu An must be restless. After getting up and saluting to Emperor Desheng, he raised his knife and stepped forward.

Lu An has already been treated miserable enough by his own concubine, and Chu Yu doesn't want to step on him again. If he kicks people off the stage with a few tricks, Lu An may not even be able to sit still as the head of the Ministry of War.

So I thought it would be good to have a few tricks with him leisurely, but who knew that as soon as Lu An came up, he raised his knife to attack, Chu Yu leaned back, and could have easily dodged, but found the long man passing by his face. There was something powdery on the knife and sprinkled on the face.

He frowned and screamed that it was not good. Before he turned around to restrain Lu An, the powder got into his eyes, and there was a burst of burning in his eyes. When he opened them, his eyes were already blurred. Luo Luan swung the blade over again, then took several steps back, closed his eyes and shook his head vigorously, but his eyes still couldn't see clearly.

Before the audience reacted, Chu Cheng lowered his head with a sarcastic smile, while Chu Xiao was very proud. Only Chu Yue saw something was wrong, and stood up with a frown: "What's going on?"

Lu An on the stage was knocked down with his weapon, and seeing Chu Yu standing there without moving, his eyes were a little red, he picked up the long knife and wanted to attack again, but was kicked on the wrist by Gu Junxuan who flew over and held him down. .

At this time Chu Yue also jumped onto the stage. He saw that Chu Yu closed his eyes, and there seemed to be some brown powder on his face. He suddenly felt bad, and quickly turned his hand to look at the long knife in Lu An's hand, and found that the blade and body on it were all suspicious. powder.

Emperor De Sheng and everyone in the audience didn't know what happened, so they heard Chu Yue shout: "There is poison on the blade!!!! Hurry up and pass on the imperial doctor!!! The Imperial Forest Army escorts you!!!!"
