Thousands of Mountains

On the day of the beginning of autumn, Emperor Chen Ze received the news of the great victory of the Zhenbei Camp, saying that the Shule Wolf Army had retreated to the outside of Kansai. Lin Moyan really lived up to his mission and once again protected the peace of the Northwest.

Chen Ze was overjoyed by this, and he completely reinstated Lin Moyan's position as the commander of the Zhenbei Camp, and ordered his exiled relatives to be relocated back to Beijing. At the same time, he also made a decree that surprised everyone: the Queen Mother Princess Zhegui, who came from the family, bestowed marriage to Yun Ye, the son of General Yun Jianqing, the King of Funan who had gone to Beijing for several months, as his concubine.

As soon as the news came out, it was like throwing a stone into the court, which was already in turmoil.

If it is to reward General Yun for his hard work in guarding the southeast through marriage, he should choose a princess of pure blood. However, the emperor Chen Ze has not been involved in the harem for many years. Except for the crown prince Chen Ji and the king of Han Chen Yi, the princess has only two young children who are only three or four years old. Doll, I have to consider other groups of the royal family as a last resort.

The queen heard that the emperor decided to give Yunye a marriage, and she was the first to push Princess Zhegui out. She was sixteen years old and had a delicate and charming appearance. Originally, the Qiu clan also intended to wait for the princess to enter the palace as a concubine when she became an adult, but the emperor Chen Ze hadn't entered a newcomer five years ago, but the supervisor of ceremonies repeatedly comforted him. He was in his prime and should have more children, but Chen Ze had no intention of having a harem at all. Without a tree in the harem, it became a card in the queen's hand in an instant.

Beauty cannot be wasted.

Following General Yun's thank you letter, he presented it quickly. The crown prince, princess, sounds like he has both talent and appearance. The veteran officials in the court knew about the young friendship between the emperor and the general in the early years, and they all said that the emperor had been on the throne for many years, even when he was young The marriage promises he made have never been forgotten, but the prestige of the king's heart has risen again.

Zhao Lun went to the Prince's Mansion again, and there were a lot of people visiting the door to send blessings these days, but Zhao Lun waited until the peak period of the incessant stream passed before he came to the door at a leisurely pace. More than half a month has passed.

Yunye was walking along the corridor with him again, today Yunye was wearing a summer cloud gray corset robe with a jade red petticoat inside, under the tall and straight figure, the brilliance was dazzling, it looked so festive, Zhao Lun joked, "The wedding date has not yet been set, so I can't hide my thoughts on the outside."

Unexpectedly, Yunye frowned, "The emperor and my father hit it off right away, I was just being manipulated around."

Zhao Lun could hear the dissatisfaction in his words, frowned, and asked tentatively, "Is the prince dissatisfied with the princess?"

"The princess has not seen it yet. I heard that the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the etiquette of poetry and calligraphy are well-known. Yun dare not disrespect the princess, but," he changed the subject and glanced at Zhao Lun, "she is the daughter of the Qiu family."

Zhao Lun pondered for a moment, and then asked, "The Qiu family is a grand family, and it is one of the most important families in the imperial court. Could it be that even such a family background is not eye-catching?"

Yun Ye smiled, "When will it be my turn to see or not, Mr. Zhao just joked." Yun Ye seemed to be mocking, "The Qiu family is in power now, the queen's status is stable, and several brothers are serving as ministers in the court. Even a young talent like Mr. Zhao has been recruited for an important position," Yun Ye restrained his smile, stopped by the pool, and said calmly, "What do I have, it deserves such a heavy bet from the empress."

Zhao Lun opened his mouth, but before he could make a sound, Yunye looked at him, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his tone was flat and self-deprecating, and said, "You must want to say that Funanying is worth everything to make a big bet. Hope, it's true."

Zhao Lun frowned, "What do you mean?"

But Yun Ye said, "Everyone behind the scenes is talking about me as a proton, but they don't know that I am already an abandoned son. This abandonment was still abandoned by my father."

"If my father really hoped that I would become a talent, and he would take over the Funan Camp in the future, how could he never teach me kung fu, let alone talk about the art of war with me? Since I was young, my mother and I grew up in the city of Quanzhou. Forbidden zone, don’t say that I couldn’t go there when I was young, even if I’m older, I still need my father’s permission to go there.” Yun Ye’s expression was rather sad, with resentment in his heart, “It’s said that Yun’s saber technique is the best in the world, but I didn’t even Dao Jue has never seen it, my son is just like a fake."

"Your Majesty, please don't say that, General Yun may be trying to protect your Majesty."

"Protection, hehe, if you make me a waste, it will be meaningless to everyone. It is indeed protection." Yunye's face was cold, and a stern look flashed in his eyes, "How could I be willing to be a A waste? My father refused to allow me to learn anything. Fortunately, my mother understood the righteousness and asked my husband to teach me. After I grew up, I did not tell my parents and worshiped the Quanzhou Wu's Sword Wu Yingchang of the hall is the teacher."

After talking, the two came to the study room and closed the door. Zhao Lunding stopped, and whispered to Yun Ye, "I didn't know that there was such a layer in the life of the son, but the son didn't think that the emperor bestowed the marriage this time. Is this your chance?"

"how do I say this?"

"Does your son know that the capital is dangerous? The general does not want your son to rely on the power of the military camp, and if your son has no other help, in this capital city of open and secret scheming, this son is a real weak person, or he can't help himself for no reason, or he is a fish for others " Zhao Lun took another step closer, rubbing Yunye's shoulder and said, "And if you marry the Queen's mother clan, the Qiu family will be your real backer, and if Princess Zhegui is so favored, your position will be unbreakable."

Yunye frowned deeply, sitting on the Luohan couch without saying a word, the sun shone in from the window lattice beside him, half of his cheeks were covered with golden light, but half of his body was submerged in darkness, as if being dazzled by the sun, Yunye Sitting facing in, the whole person hid in the dark place, the sun was shining directly on the incense burner, and the smoke curled up.

The maid served tea and snacks, and Zhao Lun sat back on the other side of the Arhat couch, took a piece of honey flower cake to eat, and drank Longjing tea, with a relaxed expression.

Yun Ye still frowned slightly, and turned to Zhao Lun, "Why are you so interested in me?"

Zhao Lun was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, then smiled again, clapped his hands, and carefully wiped off the crumbs of the honey cake that fell on the white robe, then raised his head to meet Yunye's gaze, and said, "There is nothing else, just because we met for the first time Then I felt like old friends at first sight, and the last time I visited, the prince had already called me brother Zhixin, and you and I both have the same character on our faces, isn't it fate?"

Yun Ye twitched the corners of his mouth, and Zhao Lun continued, "I grew up in the capital. Although I have not been an official, I have been with my teacher for a long time. What I have heard and seen is all kinds of intrigues and intrigues. However, the prince and the people in the capital It's different, the nature is bold and innocent, you and I just met each other for the first time, but you can tell me the bitterness of growing up, this kind of sincerity treats each other, how can Zhixin remain indifferent."

These words were not without sincerity. Yun Ye looked at Zhao Lun with a much more relaxed look, but he did not express anything about Zhao Lun's previous proposal. He only said modestly, "Marriage is a foregone conclusion, and I will not do it." It's a pointless struggle, I just hope that the Princess will not place too many expectations on her future husband-in-law, so as not to be disappointed in the future."

Zhao Lun said with a smile, "Your Majesty is serious. Although Princess Zhegui has only met twice occasionally, she is graceful and extraordinary. In the eyes of the princess, the proud husband will not value the appearance of wealth and official status. He is the one who treats her sincerely."

Yun Ye bowed his head to drink tea, and smiled with the corners of his mouth, but a trace of curiosity arose in his heart. Who is the Princess Zhegui who everyone is praising?

------

Soon, there was another decree from the palace that the engagement ceremony between Prince Yunye and Princess Zhegui will be held on the day of Bailu. The specific wedding date has been agreed upon by the empress empress and General Yun's wife, Wu Yuqin, and will be married on the day of Lixia next year. .

Regarding the engagement ceremony, Princess Zhegui put a lot of thought into it. He wanted to use the ceremony to bring together the children of the royal family and the ministers and ministers of the court. There is one more meeting place for people. If a man is interested in a daughter, or a daughter is in love with a man, he can skip the matchmaker's words and know the other party's heart directly.

However, the specific way for young people to gather is surprisingly not the poetry competition often held by the aristocratic families in central Beijing, but the horse racing and archery on the school field, which is often seen by royal men, and the folk water sports that are often seen in the southeast coast of Yunye's hometown. Play - Water Swing, the two are added together for a test, one represents the royal family's manners, and the other shows the coastal folk customs. Made a gesture of welcome, but also hid some intriguing heart of test.

When Yunye heard that the idea of ​​the engagement ceremony came from his future wife, after winning the title of princess, he couldn't help laughing. It turned out that a lady raised in a deep boudoir can be so bold and straightforward, which is quite impressive.

Thinking carefully about himself, the water swing is originally a custom in his hometown, and all men in the southeast are good at it. However, horse racing, riding and archery can only be said to be unsatisfactory. Yunye found himself a little worried that the princess would be disappointed in him in the competition.

All the children of aristocratic families of the same age in the capital received the invitation, and Chen Ji also received the exquisite invitation from Eunuch He, and thanked him respectfully. The tooth hurts to the base of the ear, the nose and the eyes are squeezed together, and he said to Yin Cen with great pain, "I'm finished! If the father is on the scene, he will definitely find that I am an idiot in the competition field."

Yin Cen endured a lot of hard work while laughing. Chen Ji was tall and strong but his force value was relatively low, and his poems and books were not astute. These Yin Cen watched by him for five years, and he also had some experience. At the birthday banquet of King Han, he read The scene of calm and graceful, slim, but blushing but unable to utter a line of poetry is still vivid in his memory, Yin Cen will never forget, but he feels that these are not important. Chen Ji's cuteness lies in his simple and natural clumsiness , so clumsy that he has no intention, and this clumsiness, it seems that only he can discover it, which is amazing.

Moreover, Yin Cen has long discovered that, as the prince, Chen Ji is unambiguous in dealing with matters that are really related to the national economy and the people's livelihood. The Emperor Yan reactivated Lin Moyan, the sinful minister. This is not something that ordinary courage can do. Thinking of this, Yin Cen felt that the word "courage" was actually written on the heart of this silly big man. I feel more and more that besides being cute, there is also a little more admiration.

But at this moment, Yin Cen just wanted to tease him, so he deliberately said, "How can you be an idiot? Mrs. Liang has taught you all these years, and Wu Yeer and I have fought against you every day. It stands to reason that you should not be able to write and martial arts. You are invincible in Beijing." hand."

Wu Ye'er just jumped down from the beam at this time, landed firmly in front of them, snatched the invitation from Yin Cen's hand and looked at it, "Wow", "It suits me so well!" Bright, looking eagerly at Chen Ji and Yin Cen, "Can I go? Can I go? Can I go?"

Chen Ji blushed unexpectedly, and said angrily, "I'm not going, you go!"

Wu Ye'er didn't know why, her big eyes were innocent, and she asked Yin Cen, "Is Your Highness angry? Why? This is so much fun, Hey Your Highness, don't go, are you really going? Then I can go." ..."

Chen Ji was very angry, annoyed, how could brother Pingshan be so... so... so irritating.

Why am I like this, stupid?

I am so distressed, how can I achieve both civil and military skills, and be so perfect as to be independent from the world.

Just like...Brother Hirayama.

Chen Ji went into the study on his own, found a book at random, opened a page at random, and stared at it for a long time without moving, until Yin Cen also entered the study quietly.

Yin Cen flicked his bulging steamed bun face with his fingertips, leaned his nose to glance at the book, picked up the book, and stuffed it back into Chen Ji's hand with the face turned, "Ah Yue, you held it backwards."

"Ah!" Chen Ji exclaimed in a low voice, his face turned red again, he looked up and saw that Yin Cen still had a narrow smile in his eyes, and said angrily, "You are really good at making fun of people, so you don't help think of a way. "

"There is no other way, Your Highness can only," Yin Cen said to Chen Ji solemnly, "Hold on."

With a "snap", Chen Ji buckled the book on the table, and said solemnly, "I'm doomed, you just wait to see me embarrassing in public."

"Well—" Yin Cen drew his tone, "Otherwise, I will take the place of His Royal Highness if I excuse my illness at that time."

"This..." Chen Ji began to think seriously, "Is it feasible? Although this will not be a fool, will it be a coward?"

"Then what are you going to do!" Yin Cen really had a hard time holding back his smile.

"Ahhhhh!" Chen Ji walked around the room, "Zhe Gui is a real girl, she made it clear that she wanted to see her emperor brother make a fool of herself."

"What people want to see is her fiancé-in-law, the son-in-law Yun Ye, who really has nothing to do with His Highness."

"Is that Yunye very powerful?"

"I don't know, I've only seen it once." Yin Cen said honestly.

When Yunye was mentioned, Shen Cang came to mind, and Yin Cen was in a bad mood when he thought of Shen Cang.

Suddenly, he seemed to be hardened, and said to Chen Ji, "Your Highness must win this trip, and win honor."

Chen Ji stopped walking around, stood in front of him and said, "Brother Pingshan finally said something human."

Then asked, "How can I win?"

"I don't know." Yin Cen shook his head truthfully.

Chen Ji: "..."

Yin Cen clenched his fist with one hand and beat his heart again, "But you must have the belief that you must win."

Chen Ji: "..."

I believe in your evil.
