Chang'an Youth Tour

When Ye Xuanji arrived at Sihong Hall, the night was getting dark.

Few people would believe that it was several years ago that she was here last time.

It is a secret that the crown prince doesn't like the crown prince's concubine. It was less than a year after the wedding, and just in time for the general election, the empress pointed out that three beautiful women, all from aristocratic families, would marry into the East Palace.Although the crown prince doesn't like them, at least they are better than the crown princess who respects each other like ice.

In fact, everyone in the palace knew that none of the subsequent concubines had her appearance, not to mention that the Ye family had such a profound heritage, the No. 1 general in Lingyan Pavilion was Ye Shen, the ancestor of the Ye family.The crown prince's grandfather was an old minister, and her father was a great Confucianist in the world. In terms of intelligence and knowledge, no woman in the world can match her.

However, it ended up today.

Yun Lan had been waiting in the corridor for a long time, and when she saw her, she saluted respectfully. The lady in charge of the Eastern Palace has always respected her, perhaps because of the sympathy between women, or because she, as the confidant of the Eastern Palace, clearly knows that there is no A person who is more suitable for the position of princess than Ye Xuanji.

The lights in Sihong Hall are brightly lit, and the owner of this study is feeling restless.

Where is that young man named Yan Junyu being beaten now?Mostly the front yard, in front of all the guards.The pampered and pampered young master should have never been beaten, with a twenty-spine stick, it is a bit too heavy.

Ye Xuanji lowered her eyes and entered Sihong Hall.

In the bright lights, her husband, His Royal Highness Xiao Jingyan, was standing by the window watching the night outside.It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a jade tree facing the wind.He was still wearing a black narrow-sleeved military uniform. The servants would not make such a mistake. He was upset, so he didn't change his clothes. When he saluted, he saw grass stains on the soles of his boots.

"I heard that His Highness wants to see me?" She asked in a low voice.

"Last month, I heard an interesting story about Ruyi at my mother's place." His Royal Highness turned around and looked at her coldly with hazy eyes: "Suddenly remembered, so I asked you."

Princess Ruyi is Emperor Qingde's favorite little princess, as can be seen from her title, she is only ten years old this year, and she is born with exquisite jade snow.This happened after Xi Rong asked to marry a princess, and Li Daoyong's Zhaojun went out to arouse Emperor Qingde's monstrous anger, but Hu Lishe had not yet fallen into Rong Hao's trap, almost everyone thought that he was really going to marry a princess passed.

That day Emperor Qingde stayed in the palace of Princess Ruyi's mother and concubine Concubine Rong, and got along like a father and daughter in an ordinary family, very happy, but when he left, Princess Ruyi was reluctant to part, and kept chasing Emperor Qingde's imperial chariot out of the palace gate.Emperor Qingde asked her why she was so reluctant to bear herself this time, and Ruyi replied: "When I grow up, I won't be able to see my father."

Concubine Rong's expression changed immediately, and just as she was about to stop her, Emperor Qingde laughed and said, "Why did you say that?"

Ruyi looked sad, and said: "I know, when I grow up, I will go to get married. Married is to marry far away, and I will never see my father and queen again, just like Sister An Le. We will never marry each other again. You won't see her anymore, will you?"

According to the records of Qi Julang, Emperor Qingde's response was only a few words: "The emperor is sad and can't answer."

No father in the world would probably be able to answer this question.People in the world often regard the murder case in Hulishe as a turning point in Emperor Qingde's attitude towards marriage. In fact, speaking of it, this incident was the first turning point.At that time, the situation was stalemate, and the undercurrent was turbulent under the calm water, but this matter was like throwing a stone into the water, which can be described as a stroke of genius.

Ye Xuanji said lightly: "What does Your Highness want to ask me?"

Her appearance is even more beautiful under the lamp, it is simply thrilling, but the drooping eyelashes give people a feeling that they can be reached, which is a very graceful posture.Yun Lan smiled brightly last time, saying that he was looking far away.This world is the best at making a big fortune with a small one, and the ones who make a big one below are all women.Because the status is not suitable for participating in political affairs, every step is carefully considered, and it is exquisite and can be used as a model.

"Do you know Yunlan's reaction when she heard this story?" Xiao Jingyan only stared at her eyes: "She said that every word is written by her."

The status of the crown princess allows her to roam freely in the court. The ten-year-old little princess is the best weapon to hit the last soft spot in the emperor's heart.In her own way, she made such a beautiful blow for Dong Gong, like the assassin in the legend of Tang Dynasty, who hit the target with one blow and retreated without leaving a trace.

So Yun Lan admired her very much, it was a hunter's appreciation for another top hunter.She said directly that if the prince liked Ye Xuanji, the road to the East Palace would be a hundred times smoother than it is now.

"Your Highness thinks highly of me." Ye Xuanji said indifferently.

She didn't even accept the credit for the credit she sent in front of her, and she would always be the hands behind the curtain manipulating the chess game.If Rong Hao had been half as calm as her, he wouldn't have boasted to Yan Junyu all day long.

"It doesn't matter whether you recognize it or not." Xiao Jingyan only looked into her eyes: "Your scheming can be used against people in the world, but you can't move people in the Eastern Palace."

Such a beautiful blow was a show of favor and surrender, but in exchange for this one sentence from him.Ye Xuanji's eyes suddenly turned cold, and she raised her eyes and asked, "Is it someone who can't touch the East Palace, or is it just Yan Junyu?"

She has such an aura on her body that she looks at the current crown prince without losing the wind.

Xiao Jingyan didn't seem to be surprised by her side, but said coldly: "I'll just say it once, what happened today must never happen again."

No one in the world can understand people's hearts like her, so she rushed to the Jingwei to rescue Yan Junyu in the middle of the night, and had to take her back to the East Palace whole.When Jingwei catches Li Daoyong at dawn, everyone in the world will think that Yan Junyu told him the secret.

But if you miss a beating, you will lose all your reputation.Once Li Daoyong dies, Shilin will always remember Yan Junyu's name. He is only 16 years old, and he has been burdened with shackles all his life.As Yun Lan said, it is indeed her consistent handwriting to punish her heart with every word.

As for the "enthusiasm" of those concubines, it was more like a nasty joke. Yan Junyu only knew that the East Palace also had a harem, but she didn't know the real meaning of the harem, so she brought the harem to Yan Junyu.All the beauties who are lively and fragrant, pull him affectionately to be "one of my own".

She was a good person in everything, but Yan Junyu was forced to climb to the top of the pavilion late at night, and refused to come down even if he died.With her wrist, if it was not intentional, it would be to underestimate her.

"I thought His Highness would like this." She looked indifferent, as if she had done something bad out of good intentions.

In just one night, she can ruin Yan Junyu's future, as easily as breaking a bird's wing, and then take him to Xiao Jingyan's harem, and let him understand his own position. Although the young man's heart is stubborn, given time, he will be able to... Taming isn't impossible either.

"Do you think you are the eldest grandson empress?" Xiao Jingyan asked coldly.

She was doing what a "virtuous empress" should do, like after Li Shimin killed his younger brother and took his wife, the eldest grandson empress comforted the harem for him, and only sent his younger sister-in-law Yang to his bed with her own hands, which is naturally a proof of virtuousness.

"How does Your Highness know that I can't do it?" She also asked calmly.

What Xiao Jingyan was talking about was the eldest grandson empress who appeases the harem, but what she was talking about was that before the Xuanwumen incident, when King Qin was at the forefront of the storm, he was good at dancing with long sleeves and wandering around the court, "serving the ancestors with filial piety, respecting the concubines, and saving internal help" Empress Changsun.Even, it could be the Xuanwumen Incident, when Taizong introduced the soldiers into the palace to confer armor, the eldest grandson empress who "consoled her by his relatives, and all the left and right were grateful".

Rather than saying that she wanted to plot against Yan Junyu, it would be better to say that she was showing favor to the East Palace in her own way. There was no difference between this matter and that of Princess Ruyi.

Xiao Jingyan was indifferent.

"That's your business. I said earlier that I don't need you."

"So Your Highness only needs someone who will let you ride fifty miles in the middle of the night and rush back to the East Palace to save him." Anger was gathering in her eyes: "The appearance is not above average, the talent is even more mediocre, and there is no scheming, even if Your Highness wants to humiliate me." , please come back with a better one!"

"You think too highly of yourself." Xiao Jingyan said calmly, "I like him, so it has nothing to do with whether he is in the middle or not. You rank yourself first, and then choose No. 1 to marry, thinking that everyone in the world is like you gone?"

His words hit the key point, Ye Xuanji's expression darkened, and she pursed her lips, looking a little pitiful.

Xiao Jingyan is actually very tolerant towards women, especially he doesn't talk about sex, even Linglong defends it, so he hastily talked to her until he saw her being stabbed, so he stopped talking.

But she suddenly raised her head and looked into his eyes.

"So it's still because of what happened to me back then, isn't it?" Her eyes were almost a little sad, and with her stunning appearance, she seemed even more pitiful to me: "Actually, I have made a decision a long time ago. If I say, I am willing to be with you." Your Highness is starting..."

After all, for a noble lady, some words should not be too straightforward. Before Xiao Jingyan said anything, she said again: "Actually, His Highness also likes women, right? I remember that Qionglin Banquet that year..."

"Actually, there is something I've always wanted to ask you." Xiao Jingyan interrupted her.

"Please speak, Your Highness."

"There is no beginning but no end, is it your Ye family ancestor's instruction?"

The whole room was shocked, and her face turned pale instantly. Compared with the previous sentence, this really hit the sore spot.

"Stop pretending to be a child. You and I are the same people. We are not so easily tempted. You can pretend not to be like that. You just humiliate yourself and me. As I said, I don't need you." Xiao Jingyan said The voice was cold: "Remember, what happened today must not happen again. If you touch him again, even if the Taifu comes to intercede in person, he will not be able to save you."

Ye Shen is famous for his strategy, although he ended up tragically after founding the country, with a beginning but no end.However, the Ye family has been passed down. Ye Xuanji's grandfather was the right minister first, and after he got old, he was invited to the palace to teach the prince to read, and took the post of Taifu.After Ye Xiang passed away, Ye Xuanji's father was promoted from Prince Shaofu to Taifu, and the father died and the son succeeded, and it was a good story.

What is puzzling is that at such a turbulent moment, the Ye family has countless old disciples in the court and the public, and has high prestige, but they always live in a corner, as if the whole family has withdrawn from the power field, leaving only one Ye Xuanji.

Yun Lan watched Ye Xuanji leave, and hurried into Sihong Hall by herself.

"Jingwei just caught Li Daoyong, Pang Jing was injured, and Duan Changfu went there in person." Even when she was behind others, she was careful in everything and never mentioned names that should not be mentioned, so as not to appear that Donggong was involved.He only said lightly: "No one has died yet."

"Understood." Xiao Jingyan looked slightly tired: "Change your clothes."

"actually……"

She was used to being with the king like a tiger, and seeing Xiao Jingyan's expression, she knew it was useless to persuade her, so she didn't continue talking.

Taking off the Hu suit for riding and shooting, and putting on the regular uniform of Gunlong, the young prince remained silent, but lowered his eyes, with dark eyes under his eyelashes, not knowing what kind of disturbance was brewing.

"Did he cry?"

"Who is your Highness asking?" Yun Lan was taken aback.

"It should be crying." Xiao Jingyan asked himself and answered, "He always likes to cry."

The stubborn expression of the boy holding back his tears seemed to jump out and appeared in front of his eyes.The corner of his lips twitched slightly, and the smile was fleeting.

Twenty spine sticks are really too heavy.

"Does Your Highness want to take a look?" Yun Lan asked speculatively.

Sihong Hall was too far away, and I couldn't even hear a cry of pain.Only seeing the lights from a distance, he knew that the execution was in progress.

"No." Xiao Jingyan said indifferently: "Go to meet Li Daoyong first, let's see when we come back."
