Jinling, Yuwang Annex.

King Yu was born in the army, and the four courtyards are based on simple atmosphere, but this one is different. This is Su Yao just got married when he supervised the construction of the construction, everywhere imitated the Su family garden, there is a bit of southern style. If it weren't for the labor cost, an artificial river would have to be dug up.

This courtyard is far away from Jinling Palace, quiet and elegant, and it is a good place for talking and deliberating. King Yu sat on the top, today he was wearing a hot golden scale armor, but the whole person was heroic and extraordinary under the dim light, and the instrument was lofty, and the eyebrows and eyes were unconcealable.

King Yu served another cup and raised his glass to Qu Zhixin in the lower seat, "If it weren't for Mr.'s plan, how could this king be in today's situation?" ”

Qu Zhixin didn't even dare to say it, and stood up tremblingly, "Your Highness has tormented the old man, I really don't dare to do it!"

"If it weren't for Mr. Wang's efforts to urge the king to abolish the crown prince, this king would never have thought that his father would have been jealous of the prince to such a status. "King Yu's words are true, although many people asked for the abolition of the reserve earlier, but His Majesty just gently put it down and did not dispose of it. When everyone thought that His Majesty was going to override the public opinion, His Royal Highness King Yu personally asked for the decree, and King Qinghe and King Ke echoed one after another, and the court was silent at that time.

His Majesty's face was pale, and all the ministers knelt on the ground, and under the advice of the ministers, they finally drafted the edict of abolishing the prince, and stamped the jade seal to declare Jinzhou. Thinking of the deposed prince, King Ke is not a young man, King Qinghe has the heart to temporarily cling, and King Yu feels even more energetic.

"Your Royal Highness's words are wrong, Your Majesty is not afraid of the prince alone, but the Su family who is getting closer and closer to the prince. Although it was rumored that the crown prince would be abolished in Jinzhou, and King Changxin and Su Cen had a political disagreement, the prince had a slight change in Jinzhou, and the county lord of the Su family did not hesitate to travel thousands of miles, but he was afraid that His Majesty was like a mirror in his heart. ”

King Qinghe's eyes flashed across from Qu Zhixin, and he was staggered, but he clearly saw the chill in his eyes.

Immersed in the joy of this dissipation, he didn't feel anything about Chongyao's abnormal King Yu, but said with a lack of interest: "This king thinks that if one of Suchi wants to marry King Changxin, it will be a good thing, and this king is willing to fulfill it." With Ning Lizhen's current status and health status, even if Su Chi is determined to marry him, it is impossible for the Su family to gamble with him anymore. Instead of letting Su Chi make the link between the Su family and a certain prince, it is better to marry an unrelated person as soon as possible.

Qu Zhixin shook his cup, "If Your Highness really cares, you might as well let the princess go back to Su's house and ask the county lord, and the sisterhood is deep and she will naturally talk about everything." Qu Zhixin's eyes glanced quietly at Chongyao's side, and then moved away.

Unexpectedly, King Yu's eyes darkened, and he responded: "Let's talk about it!" Su Yao has been in poor health and appetite for the past few months, and he has been eating and vomiting more recently, and even lived directly in Zhuangzi outside the city in order to recuperate. King Yu knew that she was unhappy with his remarriage, so he thought that when the overall situation was decided, he would be able to resume his status as usual, so that she could go.

None of the people present are children, and King Yu is even more interested in the throne, so after only a moment, he returned to his senses and asked Chongyao: "Third brother, what happened to the matter of ordering the forbidden army to go to test the reality of Gezhai that we discussed in advance?"

Chongyao drank the wine bottle in his hand, poured another glass for himself, and then smiled: "Originally, I was going to do it, but now I have some doubts." The crown prince has just been deposed, if we are targeting the Su family again, will my father be too careful? Besides, the New Year is approaching, and small things have become big things, but I am afraid that it will not be appropriate. ”

King Yu has been fighting for the country for many years, although he has been planning everything in Jinling all these years, but he hates the court members from the bottom of his heart for the sake of persuasion and missed the opportunity. Hearing Chongyao's words, he couldn't help but feel a little angry: "The third brother's words are inappropriate, he has always been loyal to the country and worried about the king, regardless of the time." If it is really as we guess, the Su family dares to station troops outside Jinling City, and its wolf ambition is afraid that even his father will not tolerate him. Even if the concubine says that the sky will break, the Su family will inevitably be ruined. Isn't it that the third brother is still worried about the Su family's one-acre and three-point land?" King Yu's eyes moved, and he looked at Yao deeply.

Ning Lizhen has withdrawn from the political stage, so let's look at ······

didn't seem to pay attention to the deep meaning of King Yu, Chongyao smiled: "This Wang Temple is small, and it can't accommodate the big Buddha of the Su family." ”

"Then the Su family's Xie Yuhua, is the third brother interested?" King Yu naturally knew that Chongyao had hated the decline and fall of his mother family on the Su family's account, but it was hard to guarantee that he would not do anything to get on the throne.

Chongyao was dizzy and dizzy under the influence of alcohol, his clothes were stained with wine, the whole person was a little confused, and his eyes were confused: "The rose is beautiful, the thorn pierces the hand!" When he said this, he held a cup in his right hand, but his left hand in the sleeve was clearly tight at the fingertips.

Everyone laughed, and after the business was over, they sang and danced, and there was peace in the singing and dancing. Conspiracy and gore are hidden under lush ambition, and there is nowhere to hide, but there is no place to hide.

West Palace, Chongxi Palace.

The five-meter-square bath is at the north end of the Chongxi Palace, and the twilight is approaching, and it is time for the concubine to bathe. The four pink-clothed palace maids put down the camellia petals and retreated, and Aunt Xingbai stepped forward, holding a glass vial tightly in her hand.

Su Jiang half-leaned on the edge of the pool, heard the footsteps behind him, and didn't raise his eyelids, but said lazily: "Xingbai, how many bottles is this this month?"

Xingbai's hand that was about to fall trembled, and he quickly retracted and knelt down: "Hui Niangniang, this is the fourth bottle this month, and it is already the last bottle." Do you want to put it back?"

"Let it go, why don't you let it go? How can something that others can't ask for, how can it destroy the heavenly things?" Su Jiang has always been lazy in private, and this will be even more lazy and leaning.

Xingbai poured the liquid in the bottle little by little, which is polyponic water, which will make the woman's skin firm and white. Watch it seep down little by little, colorless and odorless. Su Jiang sighed, "You don't have to feel sorry for this palace, the days in this palace are so depressing that people can't breathe." How much does it matter if you live one more day or one day less? Is there any news from Ah Chi?"

"Don't worry, the county lord is already on the way, and it must be here in the next few days. If the lady misses the county lord, why don't you ask the county lord to live in the palace for a while?"

"You know what is going on in this palace! This palace ordered her to stay away from Ning Lizhen, she was good, Ning Lizhen rushed over as soon as something happened. Afraid that others don't know?" Su Jiang said about Su Chi, and rarely complained a few words.

"The mother is angry, and the county lord and the son are brothers and sisters. "How can you go to Jinzhou for the sake of others?

When Su Jiang entered the inner hall after bathing, His Majesty's great eunuch was guarding the door, and when he saw her, he saluted her.

Su Jiang entered lazily, and His Majesty had already taken off his outer robe, wearing only a bright yellow obscene robe. He sat in the lamplight, holding a fold in his hand, as if thinking.

Su Jiang didn't salute either, and walked in with his head raised, "I can't look at the excerpts here, lest the queen mother say that the harem is going to interfere with politics again." ”

His Majesty raised his head when he heard the voice, and took the towel on the tray in Xingbai's hand: "Why don't you wipe your hair?" This is what the queen asked me to bring over, saying that I want to see you." ”

His Majesty deigned to wipe Su Jiang's hair, Su Jiang sat on the soft couch, half leaning on His Majesty's arms and taking the fold, "What is this?"

Vegetarian ginger has passed thirty, but it is still a girl's delicate and creamy skin, and there is more of a woman's charm. is not only more angry and charming than the boudoir show girl, but also more resolute and decisive than those stunners.

"These are the lists of husbands that the Empress chose for Tuga. The emperor replied slowly, with a pause in his hand,

Tujia is the title of the county lord of Suchi, and when Su Jiang heard this, he immediately got up, and was held down by His Majesty, "Don't be impulsive, you take a look first! ”

Su Jiang was too lazy to look at it, threw the fold on the small table in front of him, and said dissatisfiedly: "The queen is really idle, and Ah Chi's marriage doesn't need the queen to bother." ”

"You also agreed to the title of the county lord of Achi, since there is a decree, the queen has the right to choose a son-in-law for her. ”

"Here in Your Majesty, the queen always has a point, but I am not sensible. In short, I don't agree to this, Ah Chi has a stubborn temperament, and I want to see her for a few more years. Su Jiang replied coldly.

Su Jiang's face was not good-looking, and he didn't even have any face with His Majesty, so he raised his voice: "The queen is also for her good, in the past, I always wanted to give her to the East Palace, and they were childhood sweethearts and fell in love." Now that Li'er is not in good health, it is not good to delay Ah Chi, and it is always a good thing to get married. Moreover, she is not young, and it is okay to get married directly after getting engaged. ”

"No way. Su Jiang was about to go to the bed and turned around, with undisguised opposition on his face.

Challenged to majesty like this, His Majesty did not say a word when he heard this, and threw the sleeve of the glass candlestick on the table to the ground.

His Majesty Xu has not lost his temper in this Chongxi Palace for many years, and together with Su Jiang, he has forgotten the emperor's anger.

However, Su Jia is not an ordinary person, she turned around and looked at the broken candlestick as if nothing happened, and it was rare to lower her body to pick it up. Seeing that she went to pick it up empty-handed, the emperor hurriedly pulled her up vigorously, "Don't want your hand anymore?"

Su Jiang's temperament will not be easily softened, only stiffening his head and not speaking.

In the middle of the night, His Majesty took the initiative to break the deadlock, "Recently, they have been fighting fiercely in the court, and the daily court meeting is like a splashing market, so that I can't be idle for a moment." Even Li'er, a child who has always been sensible, went against me, and I ordered Shu Yao to take him back to Beijing for treatment, but he took it upon himself to go to the fiefdom to become a vassal. In Shu Yao's opinion, all of Ning Lizhen's weights are in Jinling, and he is more at ease when he arrives in Changxin County, a fiefdom that he is not familiar with.

Su Jiang Hui held His Majesty's hand, and they had been watching and helping each other like a real couple in this splendid palace for so many years. Su Jiang suppressed her unhappiness and said in a light tone: "Who does the queen mean to marry her?"

His Majesty handed the fold to Su Jiang again, and motioned for her to take a closer look: "What do you think the queen means King Ke, what do you think?" The queen said that King Ke has not yet been married, and the marriage over the years can be regarded as a delay, even if it is to compensate him. ”

"No, you can't. King Ke has not made an inch of merit, and he is already the respect of the prince, and he is not wronged. "What's more, what element pool to compensate?

"I also think that they are not suitable for age, so what do you think?" Among the sons, King Ke was the most dissatisfied, and it was not surprising that Su Jiang's opposition to the emperor was expected.

Looking at the names on the list, Su Jiang only felt a headache, she knew that the queen was not well-intentioned, she touched her temples that were beating suddenly: "All this came too hastily, why don't you wait?"

His Majesty shook his head, "If it weren't for King Yu's wedding, he could have been sent to King Yu's Mansion and let their sisters be companions." The emperor knew in his heart that Su Chi's marriage would be decided a day earlier, and those small private actions would be stopped earlier.

Su Jiang saw that King Yu was also among them, and only snorted coldly and did not speak.

"In this way, only King Qinghe is left. When Wanniang was alive, I promised these two children, but King Qinghe was not from a high background, and now he is afraid of wronging Tujia. "More than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and things are no longer people, and time will not return.

For so many years, even if Shu Shiwan died, it was a thorn in Su Jiang's heart, which could not be lifted or touched. This will not be "embarrassed" can be described by two words.

"Your Majesty's sons are all dragons and phoenixes among people, and the two queens have sons, but the concubine is blessed. The two pregnancies couldn't keep the child, but there was only such a niece, and the concubine naturally raised her as a daughter. Even with such half a daughter, His Majesty does not allow it. Su Jiang's reluctance was clearly written on her face, and even when she said the word "concubine", her half-complaining eyes saw that His Majesty's heart was confused. It's not that they don't know Su Yuan and Su Jiang's love for Su Chi, but the more the Su family values Su Chi's daughter, the more Su Chi's marriage has to be put on the agenda.

King Yu is now dominant, although he takes Su Yao's wife as a concubine, but it does not seem to play a role in separating the Su family and the Yu Palace. In the past six months, the emperor has asked King Ke to give people and power to people, but unfortunately this person has not had the slightest posture of resistance except for becoming more and more reckless and arrogant. If it goes on like this, the excerpt that asks to change the appointment of King Yu as the crown prince can crush the South Study.

I'm still alive, and I'm a good son!

Su Jiang and His Majesty leaned on the bed, the clear light of the full moon was sprinkled, the room was bright, and the two of them couldn't sleep with their hearts on their minds. Su Chi buckled the bed, Xingbai came in to extinguish the candle, and cleaned up the fragments of the glass.

Su Jiang turned around and lay down, His Majesty's hand crossed the back of Su Jiang's head and passed through her neck, and was suddenly pulled by Su Jiang, and said softly: "Your Majesty, can the concubine choose one of Ah Chi's young talents?" If so, Your Majesty ······ Wait until the autumn of next year, and choose a good person among the jinshi. The concubine doesn't want her to be rich and glorious, she just hopes that her husband and wife will be harmonious in the future, and she will raise her eyebrows. If you are wronged, you will not be trapped in the deep palace and no one will tell you. Su Jiang's timbre is as tactful as a lark, and when the voice is high, it is sharp, but at this moment, it seems to be a trickle of refreshing.

However, the marriage between the Su family and the royal family is an ancestral system, and I have asked the Duke of Yasukuni about it, and I have no objection. ”

Su Jiang's body stiffened, and he turned around in disbelief, his eyes were full of horror, "Big brother doesn't object? Your Majesty mentioned Ah Chi's marriage and proposed a list of candidates, and Big Brother didn't object either?"

"That's not it, only the marriage has been mentioned, and the candidate hasn't been mentioned yet, what's wrong?" Su Jiang is not as bland and lazy as before, and the emperor thinks she is so interesting.

"That's right. Su Jiang muttered. It is impossible for Ah Chi's eldest brother not to know his identity, how could he let her marry into the royal family? Raising the royal daughter under his knees and sending her to the palace as a concubine, isn't this a big joke in the world? Fortunately, Su Ya has been trained quite well these days, and it will be enough to be a palace concubine in the future. Although this child is not stunning, he is thoughtful and is a good material. It's better to have a lower status, so as not to have some delusions that you shouldn't have.

His Majesty closed his eyes, and he was also thinking in his heart: these sons, the eldest son is overwhelmed, the second son is highly meritorious, the third son is unlucky, the fourth character is seriously ill and does not heal, and the youngest son has died. Could it be a sin from God?
