Yan Yushu left the Palace of Compassion and Ning, put away the smile on his face, his eyes turned cold, Yan Xu waited for him outside, "Master."

"You go and pass the greetings to the prince for me."

"Yes……"

Early the next morning, Yan Yushu went to see the prince, and told the prince again what he had said to the queen mother, and the prince said that he would give him an answer after discussing it with his grandfather.

This is the reason why Yan Yushu's two families went to meet each other. They both wanted to wait and see, but when his two families met, they were worried whether their opponents would make moves first.

In the end, Yan Yushu doesn't care who moves faster, as long as the goal is achieved.

What he was concerned about was the matter of Jiangbei Marquis Shizi's entry into Chang'an, and it was related to whether he could borrow troops. Yan Yushu went to see Shizi's princess on the first day of the banquet.

The elder son Zhong Changge looked like a gentle and jade-like person, and the princess Zhong Yunxi was generous, and on the surface they seemed to be easy to get along with.

But Emperor Zhaohe tried several times, and the son never let go of the borrowing of troops.

Presumably the sincerity given by Emperor Showa was not enough.

But he loved his sister so much, Yan Yushu sat on the couch, recalling the news he sent someone to find out.

Both Zhong Changge and Zhong Yunxi were born to the wife of the Marquis of Jiangbei. The wife and the Marquis of Jiangbei fell in love with each other. love outside.

It seems that the breakthrough point must be the princess.

In the early morning of the second day, Emperor Zhaohe announced Yan Yushu into the palace. What he said was that the Liu family's money had been taken back, and he asked Yan Yushu who should be sent to escort him.

Yan Yushu stood in front of Emperor Zhaohe, his voice was indifferent, "Your Majesty, escorting military assets is not a small matter. Not only does it require a person who is loyal to Dasheng and His Majesty, but also needs enough troops. In my humble opinion, it is better to wait to borrow troops from the Marquis of Jiangbei." , and then use this soldier to escort, so that the military supplies can be escorted, and the troops will also arrive at the same time."

"It was not easy for me to test the son's tone yesterday." Emperor Zhaohe sighed, "What good way does Yushu have to get the son to agree to borrow troops?"

"I heard that Lord Hou and the prince love this princess very much. Presumably, your majesty should know what sincerity the prince wants." Yan Yushu bowed and said, "Now that the position of crown princess is vacant, your majesty should promise to give it to the princess. .”

"Hmm..." Emperor Zhaohe murmured, "Yushu's words are reasonable, but I don't know what Yushu thinks it should be?"

"Today is the eighth princess's birthday. If your majesty takes this opportunity to invite the crown prince to enter the palace to mention this matter, the crown prince will not refuse."

On his way into the palace today, he saw that the palace people were very busy. Emperor Zhaohe always loved the eighth princess very much. This busy time must be because of the eighth princess's birthday.

On the way out of the palace, Yan Yushu met the crown prince who was entering the palace to face the saint. The crown prince stopped when he met him, "National teacher."

Yan Yushu bowed slightly and saluted, "Prince."

"The national teacher entered the palace, but to meet the emperor?"

"Yes." Yan Yushu smiled and congratulated the prince, "His Royal Highness, good things are coming soon."

As soon as he said this, the prince understood a lot in his heart, "How is the father's tone?"

"I have mentioned it to His Majesty, and His Majesty is very satisfied. I am afraid that the reason for Prince Xuan's entry into the palace this time is for this matter."

The smile on the prince's face paused, "Didn't the national teacher say that the two phoenixes are fighting? The two phoenixes, the national teacher said, are not the princess."

He didn't have divination at all, where did the phoenix's life come from? Yan Yu's writing didn't reveal it, "Your Highness is the real dragon, and who is the real phoenix? Isn't it His Highness who has the final say?"

This flattery made the crown prince feel at ease, and he cupped his hands and said, "I thank the national teacher so lonely."

"His Royal Highness, please."

Yan Yushu's smile didn't reach his eyes, he turned and left.

Tonight is the day His Majesty will announce that Zhong Yunxi will become the Crown Princess.

But it's not that easy.

On the eighth princess's birthday, the palace banquet was very lively. After several songs and dances, the eighth princess went to perform a dance in person.

The dancing posture is as graceful as a startling bird, graceful as a dragon swimming, which attracted the applause of everyone.

The princess was invited out, Yan Yushu watched, and the Ninth Prince also left the banquet.

Yan Yushu turned his head and glanced at Ji Muxian, could it be that this is Ji Muxian's scheme?

Ji Muxian shook his head at him.

Could it be such a coincidence?Yan Yushu drank tea calmly, since it wasn't Ji Muxian's plan, Yan Yushu could only take it as a coincidence.

After the eighth princess danced, everyone around applauded, but a scream came out, causing everyone to be stunned, and the eldest son Zhong Changge was so rude that he stood up directly, "Yun Xi."

Hearing that it was Zhong Yunxi, Emperor Zhaohe stood up, led the banquet with hundreds of officials, princes and princesses and left, "Let's go."

A group of people rushed all the way to the imperial garden, and saw two people splashing in the water from a distance. The woman in the water was not fully clothed, and the guards did not dare to go into the water, so they could only hug Ji Muxuan beside him.

That woman is Zhong Yunxi!

"Quick, save people." After Emperor Zhaohe's words fell, several court ladies jumped into the water and went to bring Zhong Yunxi up.

Zhong Changge stepped forward and put his clothes on Zhong Yunxi, "Yunxi."

Zhong Yunxi was drenched all over, her face flushed, she threw herself into her brother's arms and cried out of breath.

"Your Majesty, Yun Xi and I entered the palace to face the saint on behalf of my father. Now that something like this happened, please give me an explanation, please give Jiangbei an explanation. If not, please allow me and my sister-in-law to return to Jiangbei."

Ji Muxuan knelt aside, not daring to speak, Emperor Zhaohe's face turned red with anger, "Bastard!"

The emperor was furious, everyone knelt down, Concubine Chen fell on the ground and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, you know that even if Xuan'er is so courageous, he wouldn't dare."

"Father, son, I don't know why this happened." Ji Muxuan hurriedly explained, "It was a palace man who gave me a purse, saying that it was given to me by the princess, and invited me to see you in the garden. Erchen just came here."

"You, you are talking nonsense!" Zhong Yunxi fell into Zhong Changge's arms, pointed at Ji Muxuan, "it's clearly you, I was too drunk and wanted to go out for a walk, but you suddenly came and said something inexplicable to me , dragged me into the water."

After Zhong Yunxi finished speaking, Zhong Changge and Emperor Zhaohe looked even worse.

Yan Yushu looked at the prince, the prince's face was cold and hard.

Sure enough, suspicion was planted, and now with a little water, it has grown into a towering tree.

"You bastard!" Emperor Zhaohe raised his hand and slapped Ji Muxuan to the ground.

"Father, this son-in-law really came here after receiving the purse. The son who fell into the water fell into the water for some reason, and the son-in-law didn't do it on purpose."

"Since the Ninth Prince said that he received the purse from Sister Sister, why not ask the Ninth Prince to take out the purse as proof."

If Yan Yushu's expectations are correct, the purse is definitely not on Ji Muxuan's body.

Sure enough, Ji Muxuan searched for a long time but did not find a purse, "My son, my son..."

"Now, you have learned to deceive the emperor!"

"Your Majesty, Xuan'er doesn't dare, I beg Your Majesty to enlighten me."

Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, the queen came forward and said softly to Zhong Changge, "Your Majesty, I have ordered people to prepare hot water. Let the Princess take a bath first and change her clothes to avoid the wind and cold."

Zhong Changge supported Zhong Yunxi to stand up, "Thank you Empress Empress."

Several palace people helped Zhong Yunxi go, Yan Yushu cupped his hands to Emperor Zhaohe and Zhong Changge and said, "Your Majesty, son, this is not a place to talk, please change to another place."

"Well, dear friends, let's go back to the mansion first." After such a thing happened, it is useless to keep the ministers of the court and China.

"I'm waiting to retire."

Yan Yushu was about to retreat, Emperor Zhaohe said, "The national teacher stays."

"Yes……"

A group of people sat down in the palace, and Emperor Zhaohe spoke to Zhong Changge in a gentle voice, "I originally wanted to give Mu Ya to the prince, but what happened now is that the royal family is sorry for the princess. In my opinion, the matter has come to an end, it is better I will seal the curtain as King Jin, the Princess as Princess Jin, and confer a first-rank imperial order. I don’t know what you think? Please rest assured, today’s matter will never be spread.”

After all, it was the emperor, and the princess had such a thing happen, so she could no longer be the princess, and temporarily promised the eighth princess to Zhong Changge, and the princess was Princess Jin.

For the sake of Zhong Yunxi's reputation, Zhong Changge could only agree, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great kindness, and I will prepare the dowry gift to betroth the eighth princess. When Yunxi gets married, Jiangbei will send a thousand taels of gold to Dasheng as Yunxi's favor." For the dowry, one hundred thousand troops will be lent to Dasheng to guard the border."

"Okay, for the happy event of Dasheng and Jiangbei." Emperor Zhaohe raised his glass, "I have drank this cup, and hope that Dasheng and Jiangbei will be in harmony forever."

The people present raised their glasses one after another, "Your Majesty is wise, your son is benevolent and righteous."

When the wine was finished, Emperor Zhaohe put down his glass and said to Yan Yushu, "I also ask the national teacher to choose a good day and auspicious day, so that King Jin can welcome Princess Jin into the palace."

Yan Yushu stood up, cupped his hands and replied, "Return to Your Majesty, the fifteenth day of this month. It is a good day for marriage."

"Okay, the Ministry of Rites will start preparations immediately, King Jin's wedding must be grand."

Zhong Changge got up and cupped his hands and said, "Since the national teacher said that the [-]th is a good day for marriage, Your Majesty may wish to be more happy, and the minister and the princess will also worship and get married on the same day."

The smile on Emperor Zhaohe's face was even bigger, "Of course I am willing, I will be more happy with each other, and I am very satisfied."

The marriage between the eighth princess and Zhong Yunxi was decided between the words of Emperor Zhaohe and Zhong Changge.

Yan Yushu sat down on the bed, and Ji Muxian walked around the screen.

Yan Yushu looked up at him, "You didn't do what happened today?"

"The lonely person hasn't had time to do it yet." Ji Muxian approached, and sat down beside Yan Yushu, "You let the lonely design make Ji Muxuan and Zhong Yunxi have to get married, and that's the end of it?"

Yan Yushu took off the hair crown on his head and put it aside, "The minister proposed to His Majesty to have a banquet today. It is for this reason that this happened on the eighth princess's birthday. In order to appease Jiangbei's anger, His Majesty could only give up one princess, Zhong Yunxi." Can only marry the Ninth Prince.

No, it should be called King Jin now. Zhong Yunxi is the most beloved daughter of the Marquis of Jiangbei, and His Majesty can only promise the Eighth Princess, his most beloved princess, to the eldest son, but I didn't expect that you didn't have time to do it. "

Ji Muxian looked at Yan Yushu's black hair draped behind his back, his face was jade-like and plain, and sighed, "Yushu thinks, who will do it this time?"

"I dare not say anything."

Now it is clear that the crown prince and King Chong are facing each other. Behind the crown prince are the Li family and Xie family. For the Li family, it is a good thing for the crown prince to marry Zhong Yunxi. The most likely ones are Ji Muxian and Xie family. It's hard to say who made the move for the person in the dark.

Ji Muxian's eyes were calm, he didn't speak, and his breath was low. Yan Yushu lifted the quilt and lay down in it. "On the way back, the queen mother sent someone to tell me that the Xie family is willing to offer 100 million taels."

"The Xie family paid 100 million taels, and the Li family will not be less. In addition to Princess Zhong Yunxi's dowry, there is no need to worry about military funds for the past three years."

Ji Muxian breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as the military funds are sufficient, it will be much easier to defend the border, and Dasheng will have time to rectify the court and wipe out bandits."

"Yes." Yan Yushu opened his eyes to look at Ji Muxian. This person has never touched him in the past few days, and he seems to have learned it all of a sudden.

Seeing his distressed look, Ji Muxian stood up and looked down at Yan Yushu, "You have been running around for the past few days, and no one has collected the snacks that Gu sent. Take a good rest and remember to collect them tomorrow. Gu will leave first."

"What did His Royal Highness want to do?" Since Ji Muxian didn't do this today, Yan Yushu was quite curious about what he wanted to do.

Ji Muxian smiled and lowered her head to speak in his ear.

Yan Yushu's eyes burst into laughter, "Your method has ruined the family, even worse than today's method."

Ji Muxian straightened up, his eyes turned cold, "Gu, the ninth younger brother, did it to Gu, and Gu hasn't returned it yet. Your proposal is in Gu's hands, how can you not arrange it properly?"

Yan Yushu sneered, "I thought His Highness was respectful as brothers and sisters, so I don't care about it."

"In Yushu's eyes, Gu is such a magnanimous person?" Ji Muxian walked around the screen and left with his hands behind his back. "Let's have a good rest."

Yan Yushu looked at the windows that opened and closed, and thought seriously, if Lou Yanlou rushed to stop Ji Muxian next time, would it delay his serious business?

Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I met him taking a bath next time I came here?

Forget it, he will lead the army to suppress the bandits in a few days, so he probably doesn't have time to come over to his window these few days.

In the early morning of the second day, Yan Xu hurried in, panting heavily, "My lord, no...it's not good..."

"What's the matter?"

"Prince, prince, he... He gave food to those refugees in the western suburbs. Yes, it was moldy rice."

"What!" Yan Yushu stood up and asked, "Where did you hear the news?"

"Now it's spread all over the street." Yan Xu gasped, and said anxiously, "The moldy rice was given to the refugees by the crown prince, so when the refugees entered, they saw that the rice they were holding was moldy."

No, for such an important matter, the crown prince would not be so confused, to save money for the refugees.

Once the people have complaints about him as the prince, he is afraid that he will not be a good prince. No matter what the prince is, he will definitely not be so confused. Someone must be deliberately framed behind him.

"The prince is now in the imperial palace. The person responsible for escorting the food has been beheaded. The servant went to see it and beheaded a lot of people. The prince doesn't know how he will be punished."

No, Ji Muxian will lead troops to suppress the bandits in a few days. If the crown prince is abolished because of moldy rice, the court will inevitably be in turmoil, and the battle for the crown prince will start again, which will not be beneficial to the border.

Although the crown prince is very suspicious, but at the moment when Dasheng is alive and dead, he will not do such a thing and ruin his own reputation, Dasheng's reputation.

But who is that person in the dark?Several times and three shots.

"Go, enter the palace."
