"Yu Kun left this morning with the vassals of Yan Kingdom, and I went to see them off. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

On the carriage entering the palace, Shang Jue looked at Chao Xi, who was sitting opposite, and spoke softly, Chao Xi frowned, "They left?"

Shang Jue nodded, "They have been in Baling for many days, and they always have to go back, and I am not at ease when Yan Guo leaves Yu Kun for many things." ”

Leaving Yu Kun is not at ease, isn't it even more unsafe for the huge Yan Kingdom to be without him?

Chaoxi looked at Shang Jue with a faint expression and had such a question in her heart, but after thinking about it, she never asked, she already understood the reason why Shang Jue stayed in Yan Kingdom, and I have to say that his stay will indeed help her to some extent.

Chaoxi pursed his lips, "Didn't Lord Yu say when you would go back?"

Shang Jue curled his lips, "If you say it, you will naturally say it, but the legs and feet are on me, so naturally I will decide by myself." ”

Two points of light flashed under Chaoxi's eyes, but he lowered his eyes and did not speak, Shang Jue lifted the curtain and looked out, and said with a light smile, "Baling is a good place, the current Yan Kingdom is still cold, I don't want to go back at this time." ”

Yan and Shu are one south and one north, the spring of Shu has been warmed up, but the spring of Yan is late.

However, whether this is a relief or a sincere day and night is not indistinguishable.

Chao Xi groaned slightly, "Baling is not in a hurry right now, if Yan Guo needs it, you should go back earlier."

。 ”

Shang Jue looked at her with a smile and teased, "Are you worried about me, are you worried that there will be civil strife in the Yan Kingdom if you don't go back?"

Turning his head away, "I'm not ......"

Shang Jue interrupted her with a look of understanding, "Well, I know, if Yan Guo is in turmoil, where can I help you?" I understand what you mean, but don't worry, Yan Guo will not ......be chaotic."

Chaoxi blocked her heart in one breath and lost her words for a while yes between him and her she has always made that use clear and rational she does feel that if yan is in turmoil shang jue will be in a hurry and disrupt her pace but ...... But whether she was worried about him or worried about herself being affected, she couldn't tell the difference......

She couldn't tell the difference, but he denied her kindness so clearly, she was really upset.

Chaoxi raised his chin and followed his words, "That's the best." ”

Shang Jue smiled slightly, "Well, not to mention that I'm not worried about leaving you alone in Baling." ”

Chaoxi's heart was depressed, and he pursed his lips, "Why don't you worry, now my identity is here, and no one dares to touch me." ”

Shang Jue smiled silently, and the two of them were silent, and the carriage had already entered the palace gate.

The long palace road was silent, and the carriage went straight to the first instrument gate, and before the first instrument gate, the carriage stopped, and as soon as the carriage stopped, Wang Qing's voice came in outside, "The slave was ordered to pick up His Royal Highness the Prince and Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the king is already waiting for the two of them in the Chongzheng Palace." ”

Before noon, the morning dynasty should have just ended, and the matter of the canonization of the prince was only brought up yesterday, and today Feng Qin should have kept his subordinates to discuss it anyway, but he was waiting for Shang Jue and Chaoxi...... Chao Xi and Shang Jue in the carriage glanced at each other, both of them had two points of light in their eyes, Shang Jue raised his hand, Chao Xi glanced at his big bony hand and put his hand up, outside the carriage, Wang Qing raised his eyes and saw Shang Jue walking out holding Chaoxi's hand.

The sky is blue, the eaves of the palace are majestic, and the two figures in front of him, one red and one white, really seem to come out of the painting.

Wang Qing bowed his head, and the robe was a big gift.

Shang Jue smiled, "Father-in-law, don't be polite, lead the way." ”

Wang Qing turned to the front, and Shang Jue followed leisurely with Chaoxi's hand in the back, at this moment he was already close to the Chongzheng Palace, and there were more and more guards and palace slaves coming and going, Shang Jue and Chaoxi were already eye-catching, and now the two of them holding hands were even more attention-grabbing, and after several hesitations, they still broke Shang Jue's hand away.

Shang Jue has long been accustomed to this, she was already very satisfied if she didn't break away from him at the beginning, and she approached the Chongzheng Hall after a short time, but from a distance she saw that there were two entourages guarding the door of the palace who were not palace guards, it seemed that Feng Qin was seeing someone inside, Wang Qing paused slightly when she saw this, and said with a smile, "The prince and the princess are only afraid that they will have to wait for a while, the second son of the Zhu family has returned from Haojing and is reporting inside, and the slave has been talking for a long time when he came to greet him, and it must be over soon." ”

Chaoxi and Shang Jue naturally didn't say anything, Shang Jue raised his eyebrows when he heard the name of "Zhu's Second Son", and asked flatly, "Returning from Hojing? Could it be for the edict before the New Year?"

Wang Qing nodded hurriedly, "Exactly, before the New Year, Emperor Haojing ordered the princes to enter the palace to serve as servants, and the second son of the Zhu family went to Haojing to pay tribute on behalf of Shu. ”

Shang Jue bowed slightly, and then turned his head to look at Chaoxi.

Chaoxi was also looking at Shang Jue, Zhu ...... She has long been in contact with the Zhu family, isn't the wife of Huaiyin Hou Luo Shunhua from the Zhu family? The Zhu family and the Duan family and the Yang family are all big families in the Shu Kingdom, and the Marquis of Huaiyin almost entered the palace to become the concubine of the King of Shu, if it were not for the princess Zhuang Ji and the later Marquis of Huaiyin, the owner of the Zhaoren Palace is also very likely to be surnamed Zhu, and although the Marquis of Huaiyin has not entered the palace, the other daughter of the Zhu family has entered the palace as a concubine, and is one of the four ladies at the moment, but she has never seen the Mrs. Zhu when she returned to the palace for so long, and I heard that this person is dedicated to the Tao and rarely moves in the palace

Compared with the Duan's unparalleled honor, the Zhu family is slightly inferior like the Yang family, and the Zhu family's attitude in the court is also more modest, and the younger generation of the entire Zhu family is even more brilliant, and this second son of the Zhu family should be the most valued by Feng Qin.

Before Chaoxi and Shang Jue arrived at the palace gate, Wang Qing did not take the initiative to report, the three of them stood under the steps and waited, Wang Qing suddenly said, "The team that wants to come to Yan Kingdom to pay tribute has also returned to Yandu, this pickaxe is more and more every year, and there are more tricks, it is really unbearable, the king did not know how much effort he put into choosing the right lady of the clan a year ago." ”

Before the New Year, she was still in the camp of Yanguo, and Wang Qing's words immediately reminded her of the cold wind in the north of Yanying.

At that time, she learned from Zi Jing about the new edict of Ho Jing, this time not only to pay slaves, but also to the princes to offer noble women and beauties, of course, women who enter the royal family cannot be from low backgrounds, so they can only be selected from the clan and clan, and with the reputation of the Yin You Emperor...... Very few nobles are willing to send their daughters out, and the king of Shu will naturally have to work hard to make his list beautiful, which must be the same in the Yan Kingdom.

Shang Jue shook his head and smiled, "Don't hide it from your father-in-law, Yan Kingdom only sacrificed slaves." ”

Wang Qing was stunned, and he was a little surprised, Haojing's edict was clearly written, but Shang Jue didn't do it all?

Shang Jue looked at the expressions of the two of them and smiled, "The clan of the Yan Kingdom is withering, there is really no suitable daughter of the clan, as for the nobles...... There are few families in the Yan Kingdom who are willing to sacrifice their daughters, and Lone has never forced them, and the only one or two noble daughters who are willing to enter Hojing were also denied when they left, so they simply sent slaves to Hojing ......"

Wang Qing's jaw was about to fall to the ground when she heard it, you must know that it was an edict personally issued by Emperor Haojing! As far as she knew, other vassal states had to try their best to send more, but there was nothing that they didn't send, Wang Qing came back to his senses for a long time, "That...... Didn't Emperor Haojing hold Yan Guo accountable......?"

Shang Jue didn't mean to blame, but said calmly, "But I haven't received any accountability edicts." ”

The spring sun is bright, Shang Juebo stands in front of the majestic Chongzheng Palace, the reproach of the royal emperor is nothing more than a feather to him, and the strange tolerance of the royal family towards Yan Guo makes Wang Qinghe frightened, even if it is the royal family of the Son of Heaven, he does not dare to blame easily in front of the powerful Yan State, the emperor is still like this, Wang Qing finally understands Feng Qin's attitude towards Shang Jue!

Chaoxi looked at Shang Jue's unfazed appearance, and his eyes were dark.

The imperial power is supreme, but the most awe-inspiring thing in the world is not the ethereal imperial power......

"Ah, it seems to be finished inside!"

Chaoxi was pondering, but heard Wang Qing snort softly, the two looked up together, first heard the footsteps from the hall, and then saw a man in a brown robe with a weak crown walked out, tall and handsome in life, although the steps were calm and leisurely, but the narrow eyes on the face were a little cold, compared with Jun Yan's narrow amorous peach blossom eyes, the eyes of this person in front of him gave people a sense of yin owl for no reason, and it was really uncomfortable for him to look at, Chaoxi only glanced at the dimly lit hall behind him, and the other party obviously did not expect that there were two people standing outside the door, his eyes swept over the two, and he saw the morning and evening when he stepped down, and then the gaze stayed on the day and night for a long time and never looked away.

Walking quickly down from the top of the steps, the person who came stopped in front of the three people, "Princess, these two are ......"

Wang Qing smiled, "Second son, these two are Her Royal Highness Princess Shaoguang and Her Royal Highness the Prince of Yan Kingdom

。 ”

As he spoke, he turned to look at Chaoxi and Shang Jue, "This is the second son of Zhu." ”

A glimmer of light flashed in Zhu Qin's eyes, and he had to look at Shang Jue again, and then looked at Chao Xi again, and saluted with a smile, "It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan Kingdom and Princess Shaoguang...... Sure enough, it is better to be famous than to meet, on the way back, I knew that His Royal Highness the Prince and Princess Shaoguang had come to Baling, and I was thinking about whether to find a chance to pay respects, but I didn't want to meet this time. ”

Chaoxi's face was cold, Shang Jue curled his lips, "The second son is polite." ”

Zhu Qin swept the two of them again, as if he was speculating about something, "Where and where, the two of you are from Huaiyin, my aunt died in Huaiyin is unknown, I also went to Huaiyin when I came back, the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion has been sealed, and the entire Luo family has been assigned to Hojing, it is really bleak and weird, fortunately, the two are safe." ”

The aunt in Zhu Qin's mouth is naturally Mrs. Huaiyin, and now everyone in the world knows that Mrs. Huaiyin Marquis was killed by her husband Luo Shunhua, but unfortunately Luo Shunhua died and the Luo family was destroyed, and he wanted to take revenge and had no way to find it, and what was the reason for him to suddenly mention the matter of Huaiyin? Zhu Qin suddenly mentioned this matter also made Wang Qing a little nervous, he hurriedly smiled, "Second son, the king is still waiting for His Royal Highness the Prince and Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the second prince still has important matters to do, so go and get busy......

Zhu Qin smiled suddenly, "Ah, I forgot, please come in, two of you!"

Zhu Qin said as he let go of his body, raised his hand and asked, Shang Jue nodded to him, turned around and took Chaoxi's hand and walked towards the palace door, Zhu Qin stood in place, his eyes went back and forth on the backs of the two of them for a while before turning to leave.

At the door of the hall, Feng Qin, the king of Shu, had already greeted him, and he smiled deeply when he saw Shang Jue and the two of them appear together, "Come on, come on, the boy of the Zhu family did a good job when he came back from Haojing, and he said a few more words to him, but it made the prince wait for a long time." ”

Chaoxi and Shang Jue entered the door, but they saluted together but were pulled up by Feng Qin, Feng Qin looked at the two of them, and only said to Chaoxi, "Gu and His Royal Highness the Prince play a game, go to Zhaoren Palace to say goodbye first, and have lunch later." ”

Chaoxi raised her eyebrows slightly, understanding that this was to turn her away, she glanced at Shang Jue and smiled slightly, "Okay, then the daughter will go to Zhaoren Palace to greet the queen first, the son and the father will play against each other, and retire at dawn and night." ”

Shang Jue looked at her with a smile, "Okay, let Yun Zhe follow you." ”

Chaoxi entered the palace today with Shang Jue, and did not bring an entourage with him, Shang Jue let Yun Zhe follow naturally not at ease, Chaoxi nodded and turned to withdraw, Feng Qin in the hall looked at Shang Jue and said, "The prince here, please-"

Shang Jue walked from the good flow to the chess table that had been set up not far away, but he turned his head a little uneasy and glanced at the direction where he left, Feng Qin smiled when he saw this, "The prince doesn't have to worry, he will come back later, and she asked her to go to Zhaoren Palace because she has something to discuss with you." After a slight pause, Feng Qin said again, "The prince should have guessed what was going on, right?"

Shang Jue raised his eyebrows and nodded very calmly.

When Chaoxi left the Chongzheng Palace, he also guessed what Feng Qin was looking for Shang Jue, but Yun Zhe looked a little strange after her, turned a door, glanced back at Yun Zhe at Chaoxi, and then walked forward, "Have something to say?"

Yun Zhe pursed his lips and hesitated for a while before saying, "Her Royal Highness the Princess, actually-"

After a pause, Yun Zhe's words were only halfway through, he raised his eyebrows at dawn and evening, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at him after waiting for a moment, but when he turned his head, he saw Yun Zhe looking at the direction not far in front of them, frowning and looking back again, and at a glance saw the brown-robed man standing at the fence in the distance, she raised her eyebrows, and Zhu Qin had already walked towards them......
