hold this little monk

Since the temporary relaxation that day, the nerves of all the vigilant people in the capital have been tense, especially in the court, everyone can smell the tension in the officialdom, and the sudden hostility of the crowd makes the whole capital seem to be secretly. Covered by clouds, very depressing.

Xiaoxuan quietly waited for the accident to come, no one would know how the accident would reach them, and no one would know how much impact it would have.

It's just that the restless atmosphere has spread, and even the concubines living in the deep palace are faintly disturbed, forcing His Majesty to send those half-aged ladies to live in the palace.It is said that His Majesty is cruel, but she is very tolerant to those women who used to compete with her for favor, or she didn't care about those people.

The days of uneasiness finally ended on the day when His Majesty summoned the eldest princess and Bikong to enter the palace. The dark cloud-swept capital city presented a strange silence, like a sign before a tsunami.

Unexpectedly, Wu Zhongqian came to Ziling Hall in person.

"Master Wu!" Wei Yi saw Wu Zhongqian walking towards Ziling Hall with sharp eyes, and greeted him first.

Wei Yi's "Master" was flattering, but Wu Zhongqian had his own reasons for not falling for so many years. He was very suitable for the word "Qian" in his name. He smiled and shook his head, saying: "Mr. Wei It's too polite, our family came today to bring His Majesty's will, how about we go in and talk about the old days?"

"Naturally," Wei Yi invited Wu Zhongqian to go inside, and said, "Your Excellency is really humble. Over the years, Your Excellency has dedicated himself to His Majesty's side, and is a role model for the younger generations."

Xiaoxuan just happened to come out of the main hall, heard that familiar voice and tone, without blinking, Wei Yi's words came out of his mouth, I don't know how many dignitaries he has said.

"Eunuch Wu." Xiaoxuan greeted him meaningfully as he faced him.

Just now the people from Caiyu's side sent him a letter, saying that His Majesty had summoned several princes and grandchildren to enter the palace, and he thought that this distinguished old eunuch Wu was only here to look for Ming An.

Unexpectedly, the person he didn't care about raised his hand to stop him. Wu Zhongqian looked at him with deep meaning in his eyes. He ignored the noisy Wei Yi beside him, smiled and said to Xiaoxuan: "We take According to His Majesty's will, where will Mr. Xiaoxuan go for a while."

"I can't go either?" Xiaoxuan was a little surprised, and nodded because he didn't understand, "In that case, please go into the palace and talk."

Wu Zhongqian followed Xiaoxuan into the main hall, Wei Yi saw that he didn't take himself seriously at all, his eyes were a little hostile, he couldn't bear it because of his face, who would have thought that Wu Zhongqian would step into the threshold, turn around and look at him, gently He lightly raised his hand to stop him.

"Master Wei, can you help our family find Mr. Ming An?"

Wei Yi nodded with a livid face, that Ming An didn't know what his identity was, and it was fine if he lived in their Ziling Hall all the time, and they still made offerings to him like a bodhisattva, now I don't know what this Wu Zhongqian wants to do with him Yu Xiaoxuan and the others said that they wanted to send him away.

Wu Zhongqian can't be provoked, but Xiaoxuan can't be provoked.Seeing Wu Zhongqian walking towards Shi Yang, Wei Yi gave Xiaoxuan a hard look. He has always been displeased with this guy who is better than him in everything, but pretends to be aloof and only knows how to paint. He looked at him once Wei Yi wanted to kill him when he easily took away what he wanted without knowing it.

It's not an exaggerated description, but I really want to kill him.

Seeing Wei Yi's sudden distress, Xiaoxuan sighed softly.

It's only daytime, and this person has started to be hypocritical again, wouldn't it be good to stay alone and cry under the quilt at night?

Who hasn't had a little bit of trouble, the most hateful idiom in the world is "whatever you want", everyone is suffering under the background of what you want, no one has it easier than anyone else, people themselves are "greedy, never satisfied" The epitome of this, as for whether this is good or bad, it depends on one's character.

Xiaoxuan looked at him coldly, then ignored him and walked towards Shi Yang.

Wu Zhongqian sat down slowly, and when he smiled, there were creases around his eyes, making him look even older.

"My father-in-law doesn't come to our Ziling Hall very often. I don't know what kind of wind brought him here?" Shi Yang dismissed all the servants and closed the door.

Wu Zhongqian's voice is not very deep, and he also likes to prolong his speech, which makes people feel uncomfortable.He said: "Your Majesty has a decree, His Royal Highness Xuan Ming'an, Shi Yang, and Xiao Xuan go to the Imperial Garden immediately."

Shi Yang frowned: "I don't know if His Majesty has said clearly what to do?"

Wu Zhongqian said: "Your Majesty wants Mr. Shi to go over and paint. Today, several princes and princesses are here to make a family portrait. As for Mr. Xiaoxuan... Your Majesty didn't say anything, but he asked you not to bring tools."

Xiaoxuan: "..."

Perhaps it was because of the sensitivity and specialness of these days, his heart was up and down, and now he was even more suspicious, and a bad premonition arose spontaneously.

If he was not allowed to paint, what would he do?Do you want to listen to His Majesty's nagging silently like before?

He wasn't unhappy, but he couldn't figure out why there were so many people present, why he still had to point him in the past, or... was there another purpose hidden behind this will?

----

Bi Kong had already prepared the decree when it was delivered to Prince Yi's mansion. In order to prevent unexpected accidents, Yuhe and Yu disguised themselves as his servants and entered the palace together, while most of the rest of Yue Luan were left outside the palace.

But he didn't expect that it was Xiao Xuan who stood next to His Majesty empty-handed, not someone else, who really surprised him.

Bi Kong frowned invisibly, and looked at Xiaoxuan, full of questions.

Xiao Xuan stood behind His Majesty, spreading his hands and shaking his head.He also didn't understand why he was here at all. According to the plan, he should pay attention to the wind in the palace instead of standing behind this Nine-Five Supreme.

Bi Kong couldn't help worrying, today's meeting may be a Hongmen banquet, he is not afraid that he will not be able to protect him, that is what he must do, he just doesn't want him to see his dark side, he himself hates his own city, How dare you ask your brother to accept it.

He was the last one to rush over, Ming An lived in the palace, so he came here very soon, and the eldest princess was obviously well prepared.

Today she entered the palace with her son-in-law and her child in her arms.She is simple and generous, really like a woman in her thirties. She finally gave birth to her first child last year. Just when everyone thought she would take care of her, she didn't change at all. She was pregnant in October , but is cumbersome.

At this time, there were only a few of them and two eunuchs in the imperial garden, which made the huge garden extremely empty.

"Your Majesty, your grandson is late." Bi Kong stepped forward to salute.

His Majesty bent down to help him up in a rare and kind way, and smiled gently, making everyone suspect that he was dazzled.

She patted her grandson's hand lightly, and said, "I'm not being polite today. It's no big deal for me to invite you here. Just draw a family portrait and have a meal together, that's fine."

"Yes." It was the first time Bi Kong saw a grandma who was so gentle to her, and even he was taken aback for a moment.

His Majesty has always been strict with his children and grandchildren, especially with him, but he will relax a little bit with Ming An, and today it suddenly happened, he was definitely as shocked as anyone else.

Xiaoxuan stood behind His Majesty with a glow on his back. Although he knew that His Majesty treated him very well, he never imagined that His Majesty would be so tolerant that he would treat a commoner's son the same as the eldest princess.

Your Majesty really has no reason to let him stand here!

Xiaoxuan smiled decently on his face, but he was already worried in his heart.This feeling reached its peak when the princess stood beside him and stared at him deeply.

But he was pulled to stand behind her by His Majesty, if he suddenly left this position now, would it be considered as resistance?Xiaoxuan felt that he had been confused, his mind was full of confusion, he wanted to turn himself into an ant, and find a crack to get in and escape.

The baby in the eldest princess's arms didn't know how delicate the atmosphere was, stared at her big eyes eager for knowledge, looked at Xiaoxuan flickeringly, and smiled like an angel—if you ignore her, she would smile all the way to her neck drool on.

Does he look delicious?

"Little guy is hungry? Hold on." His majesty smiled and stretched out a finger to wipe his granddaughter's saliva, looked up and smiled at the eldest princess, and they suddenly became like a mother and daughter, Xiao Xuanjing Watching this scene quietly, I suddenly heard His Majesty say, "Yi'er, change with Ling'er."

When the eldest princess heard this, her eyelids twitched violently.

Is there another meaning hidden in this sentence?

She devoted herself wholeheartedly to the struggle for power, and she didn't realize that His Majesty's intention was to change the positions of the two of them, and she didn't even notice what His Majesty called them today.

Eyelids twitched violently, besides the eldest princess, there was also Xiaoxuan. He froze on the spot, staring directly at His Majesty who said this rudely, and his previous bad premonition came back strongly, with a terrifying guess.

If there was something wrong with him appearing in this place, it was even more wrong to have Ling'er standing with him all of a sudden.

Could it be... She knew?

He looked at Bi Kong dully, but saw that Bi Kong was also staring at His Majesty in a daze, the two of them wanted to go together.

Today, Bi Kong was surprised quite a lot. He looked at his grandma, who had always been aloof, in astonishment.If he hadn't known about the strict guards in the palace, he would have wondered if His Majesty had been dropped.

"Why, you don't want to?" Seeing the two of them like this, His Majesty was not only not angry, but also said such a sentence as a joke.

"The ministers dare not."

"I dare not."

The boy spoke in unison, and the smile in her eyes deepened.She looked at the two of them, then at the princess and the son-in-law, and finally at Ming An who was standing by the side, silent and a little shy, feeling a great sense of satisfaction spontaneously.

This kind of pleasure is no less than ruling a huge empire, no less than getting rid of a difficult opponent, and no less than the evaluation of her merits by the historians.

"Very good, let's draw, Shi Qing."
