The queen mother is

"Brother Huang, I heard that the tributes of Chunwei will have a palace test today. Shall we go and have a look?"

"Have you memorized everything the gentleman said today?" Ling Yushu turned his head and looked at the emperor's younger brother who was lying on the window. When the kid heard his question, he stuck out his tongue and made a grimace, "If you don't After reciting, I can't accompany you, you will be punished by your husband in the future - I don't want to intercede for you. "

"My dear brother..." The aggrieved Ling Yuquan came over and shook Ling Yushu's arm, "I know that you are the one who loves me the most in the entire palace, so you can go with me! Big deal, this time When Father asked, I, I just said that I didn't memorize it well myself."

Resignedly looking at his younger brother, Ling Yushu shook his head, and put down the scroll in his hand: the emperor father and the empress mother only have their two direct children, but for some reason, the empress mother always neglects his younger brother.Since childhood, Ling Yuquan wanted to get the idea and favor of his mother, even if he just said that he was a good boy.

Probably wanting this kind of recognition too much, but still not getting it, Ling Yuquan began to make small moves every day, such as being punished by the master, or shooting a soldier in the school field and almost killing him.

It's like a child who doesn't get the attention of his parents can only win the attention of adults by being naughty.

Seeing through his younger brother's mind early in the morning, Ling Yushu didn't care about him, so he stood up and agreed to Ling Yuquan's invitation.To be honest, he is not interested in the tributes of Chunwei, but the masters in his palace always say that "the prince should make friends with officials in the court", "the tributes of Chunwei may be future officials, We must train our own manpower in the court as soon as possible."

The old men are always nagging, but Ling Yushu doesn't care - he and Ling Yuquan are both born of their father and queen mother, besides, what's so good about sitting in the Golden Palace, he would rather throw the broken chair to his imperial brother, As for him, he led a million cavalry to conquer the east and west, and it would be best to go to places other than Mobei.

Probably seeing his intentions, the queen mother even sent six "erudite and erudite" old gentlemen to "teach" him. Ling Yushu was already exhausted from dealing with those old men every day. Fortunately, Ling Yuquan, a naughty mischievous The clever ghost, he was not suffocated to death in this palace.

It's good to go and have a look, the literati candidates are looking forward to being summoned by the emperor all year round. Ling Yushu, who passed the imperial examination, has not seen many people. After taking the guard clothes that Ling Yuquan got from somewhere, the two of them They came to the Mingguang Hall one after the other.

Beforehand, the guards of the Mingguang Palace were probably greeted by Ling Yuquan, and they turned a blind eye when they saw the two of them sneaking up, bypassing the tributes waiting outside the palace, Ling Yuquan pulled him over Arriving at the side door of Mingguang Hall, the two watched every move in the hall one by one through the crack of the door.

Their father was sitting on the golden chair, sitting upright, facing the officials and literati of His Highness.Their queen mother is also dressed up to attend today. Although she is sitting in the back seat, the only queen who can participate in the palace examination is probably only the queen mother. Like his father, he married a tigress and kept it at home.

"Brother Huang, look at these Juren, all of them have their heads down like chickens pecking at rice—why don't I think they can help you handle government affairs in the future?"

Ling Yuquan raised his head, and his forehead just touched his chin. Ling Yushu looked down at his younger brother from above. Ling Yuquan's eyes were blinking, and they were filled with pure black and meaningless impurities.

Shaking his head and smiling, Ling and Shu said, "Why me? Why not help you with government affairs?"

"You are my imperial brother!" Ling Yuquan said it as a matter of course and solemnly, "Besides, the father, the queen, and the empress value you so much..."

It seems that the younger brother still feels that his mother favors him a bit. Ling Yushu stretched out his hand and rubbed Ling Yuquan's cheek. In fact, he wanted to tell his younger brother that he didn't have any big thoughts about the throne. Like to fight.

However, Ling Yushu sighed and glanced at the queen mother who was sitting next to the emperor father. At that time, he accidentally told the queen mother what he thought, but was severely scolded by the queen mother, and even immediately sent five or six book boys to follow him , He wholeheartedly wants to learn the imperial power by himself.

Although he doesn't understand why the queen mother doesn't like her younger brother, Ling Yushu feels that when the younger brother grows up, maybe the emperor father will have other ideas.

"Master Wen, please come forward and listen to the test—"

In the hall, the sharp voice of the eunuch once again attracted the attention of the two brothers. Ling and Shu will probably never forget the person who stepped out of the crowd, with long hair covering his forehead and high spirits, unlike others. Fearful, he seemed to be returning to his own home, strolling in the courtyard without breaking the rules.

The father looked at him twice more, and for the first time took out the name of the son from the roster and took a second look. After that, he saw the father stroked his beard and asked His Highness with a very gentle smile:

"Your name is Wen, Yi, Ning?"

"Yes, Cao Minwen Yining kowtowed to the emperor and the empress."

"Life without ceremony," the emperor smiled, "Since you are called this name, then the questions I give you start from your name: "Poetry" says 'Jiji Toshi, Wen Wang Yining', Gai Xinhu It’s better than that! It’s also said, “Si Huang Toast, born this kingdom”, let me ask you, this kingdom—what kind of kingdom is it for?”

Ling Yushu secretly sweated for this good-looking young candidate. In the palace examination, they were either asked about strategy, or about determination, loyalty and patriotism. Why did the emperor ask such a question as if he was picking on something wrong?

However, the man didn't seem to be afraid at all. He nodded and pondered for a while before answering, "All the questions asked by the Holy Majesty are from Wang Bao. "Yi" says that 'flying dragons are in the sky, and you can see your lord'. Holy, Jun Ai will come."

Wen Yining said a lot later on, but Ling and Shu couldn't listen to a single word. They just stared at the man's cleverly smiling eyes and slightly opened and closed lips like a magic star in his eyes. The pleasant tune came to my ears.

There seemed to be a tear mole in the corner of his left eye, and he looked charming and charming, and he was a bit like a demon.

"Taifu Wen's son is really extraordinary!"

It was Ling Yuquan's voice that brought him back to reality, Ling and Shu were taken aback, why - is that man the son of Wen Taifu, the leader of the Three Powers?No wonder there is such insight, and can be so calm.

Ignoring Ling Yuquan's familiarity with the sons of the ministers in the palace, Ling Yushu grabbed Ling Yuquan and asked, "How old is he? Does he live in Wentai Fu's home in Jingzhong? Once married?!"

"Oh?" Ling Yuquan didn't seem to expect him to be so interested, bit his lips and thought for a while and said, "I knew he was born in the fourth year of Zhangming, ah! That's Brother Xiaohuang, you are one year old, and I am the same age There is also a younger sister in his family, who should be living at home, I heard that the son of the white-robed general Chen Lao is also raised in their Wen family."

"Then, did he ever get married?" Ling Yushu asked. A man of this age has reached the age when he should talk about marriage. Moreover, if he performed so well in the palace examination, he should be able to become an official in the court soon. His father also He is one of the three powers, and the future wealth is immeasurable, and the relatives and nobles can't be fawning on marrying their daughters to him.

At this time, Ling Yushu was actually a little thankful that his only royal sister had been promised to his uncle's family a few years ago.Otherwise, wouldn't it be difficult to speak to the father, queen and queen?

As expected of his brothers, Ling Yuquan nudged him once, and then smiled wickedly:

"Why, have you taken a fancy to someone?"

Ling Yushu looked at Ling Yuquan, nodded, and admitted frankly.

"Brother Huang, this is not possible. This person is very wonderful, and my younger brother likes it very much. Why don't you give it to me, Brother Huang?" Ling Yuquan acted like a baby and shook his arm.

"No, I can give you anything, Yuquan, Wen Yining, I will not give it to you." Ling Yushu rejected his younger brother very formally.

"You can give me everything?" Ling Yuquan excitedly urged his elder brother to make a promise, as if he had succeeded in a trick, "Including... including the crown prince?"

Ling Yushu didn't expect his younger brother to be so frank. Besides, he knew that Ling Yuquan was bound to win the crown prince. Fighting with him would hurt his brother's peace, and secondly, he really didn't want to be emperor.

So, gritted his teeth, Ling Yushu nodded and said, "Not bad! Including the crown prince!"

"That's good! Brother Huang, we have made a deal! Don't go back on your word! I will help Brother Huang for other things!" Ling Yuquan smiled, but there was a glint of coldness in his eyes.

"I'm going to tell my father and queen mother that I want to marry him and let him be my concubine!" Ling Yushu announced immediately, regardless of Ling Yuquan, he went directly to his palace and took off the guard's clothes. Clothes, when the palace examination was over, he directly broke into the Mingguang Palace where the father and the queen were located, regardless of the eunuch's obstruction at the door.

"Shu'er?" The queen mother seemed very surprised that he would barge in like this, and frowned her pretty willow eyebrows.

"Mother, father, my son has something to ask." Ling and Shu knelt down, bowed with their heads, and even lowered their bodies, as if his father and queen did not agree, so he would not get up.

"What's the matter, Shu'er?" The queen has always spoiled her eldest son, and she stepped forward to help Ling and Shu.

"If the queen mother and father don't agree with the emperor, the emperor will kowtow and die here today!" Ling Yushu actually imitated his younger brother's childish temper, and immediately began to kowtow when he said it.

"What's the matter, you say it first, so that the queen mother can decide whether to agree or not?" The queen is scheming, smiling very kindly, and is going to deceive Ling and Shu.

"Father and mother, I want to marry Wen Yining and let him be my concubine. I will only love him for the rest of my life. And from now on, I will never marry anyone else, let alone be a prince or emperor. My father and queen mother promised me this, proposed a marriage for me, and left the position of crown prince to Yu Quan, so as to protect the country and have successors!"

That afternoon,

Standing outside the Mingguang Hall, Ling Yuquan watched the sunset quietly, heard the sound of boards in the palace, and the quarrel between the father, the queen, and the queen, with a happy smile on their faces:

"Brother, it's me, I'm sorry you—"
