Chapter 13: The Number of Lives
When Mu Tiande sat down on the Longyin Palace, it was extremely late, and there was already a lot of discussion in the hall, if you listen carefully, you can know that most people are waiting to see which prince will be the prince. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Greetings to the Holy One-" Gonggong Hai appeared, shook off the dust very seriously, and said in a loud voice.
For a time, all the ministers stood according to their ranks. The leader is Du Yunshi and Wang Qi.
Mu Tiande entered the seat of the dragon chair, leaned on the right armrest, and looked at everyone.
"Kneel-" Grandpa Hai shouted again.
Brush and brush, and everyone knelt down together.
"Mountain call-" Father-in-law Hai still shouted.
"Long live my emperor." The crowd kowtowed and shouted.
"Shanhuβ"
"Hooray."
"Again the mountainβ"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
"After the ceremony-" Gonggong Hai ordered, and everyone stood up in unison again.
Taking two steps forward, Gonggong Hai waved the dust, changed his arm to a pillow, and the loud tone almost couldn't hear the voice of a eunuch: "My emperor has a word, everyone loves Qing, who has the book to play." β
Suddenly, there was silence, no one spoke, and several people in the back row even looked at each other, but no one spoke.
Rubbing his eyebrows, Mu Tiande had almost never slept all night, extremely unwell, and just wanted to wave his hand to signal Gonggong Hai to retreat from the court. A strong voice sounded: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to play." β
Looking at the person who spoke with piercing eyes, Lord Shangshu Yan Luyi stepped out of the team and bowed his hand.
"Tune-" Hai Gonggong said loudly.
"Your Majesty, the ministers and others think that Ting Yuan is safe and the world is beautiful. In this prosperous era of Da'an, Ting Yuan Kingdom needs a prince with extremely high ability and talent to make Ting Yuan strong and strong! The words were impassioned, and Yan Luyi was full of excitement.
"Oh? Yan Aiqing thinks that I am old and not capable enough to take care of the world? Mu Tiande squinted slightly, unable to distinguish the meaning.
After being stunned for a moment, Yan Lu lowered his head deeply, still in a loud voice: "The minister doesn't dare, the minister just thinks that the emperor's generation of Ming Jun will definitely elect the most suitable prince of our Ting Yuan!" β
"Then, Aiqing thinks, who has the talent and the ability to get the position of the prince?" Mu Tiande held his forehead with one hand and asked.
"The old minister believes that the eldest prince is talented, friendly to the people, and is the best choice for the prince." Without any thought, Yan Luyi blurted out, not feeling anything wrong.
On the side, Du Yunshi frowned almost invisibly, this old Yan is too upright, the emperor is obviously testing him and giving him a trick, so as to see if these princes have secretly used any means to fight for the throne. There was a lament in my heart. Yan Luyi is the eldest prince's master when he studied since he was a child, and he is honest and unyielding, but he is afraid that the emperor is already dissatisfied with him.
"What do you think of what Yan Aiqing said?" Mu Tiande raised his voice, faintly carrying a hint of dissatisfaction. When will it be the turn of these courtiers to interfere in this matter of establishing a prince?
No one answered, and the Dragon Yin Hall was silent.
"Retreat." With a low voice, Mu Tiande said this to Gonggong Hai.
"Retreat from the dynasty-" With a long exhalation, Gonggong Hai obeyed the order.
"Emperor..."Yan Lu opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, and everyone leaned over and said in unison: "Long live my emperor." β
Mu Tiande left the hall, and everyone scattered in twos and threes, but no one stepped forward to talk to Yan Luyi, and even worse, they looked at him with pity.
There was a burst of indignation on the old face, Yan Lu waved his sleeves, and his heart was angry, but no one told him.
was in a hurry to go out, but heard a person's voice: "Yan Shangshu, stay." β
Stopping and turning to look, Du Yunshi bowed his hand.
"Lord Du." Yan Luyi returned the salute, Du Yunshi was one of the few people in the court who made Yan Luyi respect.
Du Yunshi smiled brightly: "Lord Yan, can you take a step to speak?" β
Yan Lu glanced at him, followed Du Yunshi out of the Dragon Yin Palace, and walked to a no-man's corner behind the stairs.
"Lord Yan, with all due respect to the old man, Lord Yan's actions today are extremely inappropriate." Du Yunshi did not have any cover-up and ran directly to the topic.
When Yan Lu heard this, his brows furrowed suddenly, and what surged in his heart was dissatisfaction with Du Yunshi, and his tone was also disrespectful: "Master Du!" The old man originally thought that Master Du was honest and promising, and he would not be involved in these black miasma, but he didn't expect that Lord Du would also become a worldly person! Leave! With that, he turned around and wanted to leave.
Du Yunshi grabbed Yan Luyi's sleeve, and his tone was a little impatient: "Slow down, adults, and listen to the old man one by one." β
Stopping to leave, Yan Luyi still didn't have a good face, just waiting to see what Du Yunshi had to say.
"What does Lord Yan think of the eldest prince?" Du Yunshi opened his mouth with a question, but it hit Yan Luyi's heart.
"The eldest prince is a generous person, well-read, knowledgeable and courteous, especially taking the world as his own responsibility, he is the best candidate for the prince!" Yan Luyi has been his concubine since Mu Yungu was a child, and he loves him very much, and because he has guided him since he was a child, he has taken care of him as if he had been out of the house.
Knowing that Yan Lu would say this for a while, Du Yunshi frowned even more: "The old man has a few words to tell Lord Yan, and I hope Lord Yan can listen to it in his heart." After a pause, he looked at the surroundings and said in a deep voice, "Following the emperor for many years, we all know the emperor's temperament, and the emperor has his own ideas for doing things, and the most upsetting thing is that someone interferes with his decision." Although the matter of the prince has been mentioned many times, no one has ever directly said that he is the candidate in his heart. When Lord Yan mentioned it today, although it was a clear recommendation in his heart, I am afraid that the emperor would not think so. β
Yan Luyi clenched his fists silently, as if he had some understanding.
Seeing that Yan Lu heard it, he slowly added again: "I'm afraid, today's matter, in the eyes of the emperor, is a move to gather ministers to compete for the throne, but it is not good for the eldest prince!" β
Suddenly raised his head and looked at Du Yunshi, Yan Lu's face turned pale for a while, and he suddenly realized that he understood what a stupid thing he had done today, and he was annoyed.
"If you want to help the eldest prince, I'm afraid you still have to start with small things, and the emperor will definitely see it." Saying this last sentence, Du Yunshi's heart was light.
Du Yunshi had no intention of standing in line, but many years ago, this Yan Luyi helped him in the officialdom because of his integrity, and Du Yunshi has always respected this person very much.
As if he suddenly woke up, Yan Lu made a big gift with his hand, and seemed to think of something: "Thank you Du Xiangye for your advice!" I will definitely come to the door another day to thank you. The old man has taken a step beforehand. With that, he didn't stop for a moment, and turned to leave.
Du Yunshi looked at his departing back, then turned around to look at the solemn Longyin Palace, and secretly said in his heart, this world, I am afraid that it will change greatly, I just hope that my Du family can live in peace.

Another day, Du Weiwei was carefully looking at the information sent by the Dark Pavilion and the recent transactions, and read them one by one, either the main house of the rich family spent money to buy the information that his husband was fooling around outside, or the sects on the rivers and lakes spent a lot of money to buy the internal situation of the enemy, and there was nothing extremely useful.
Slowly flipping through all the records, Du Weiwei looked very seriously, and suddenly, a name suddenly jumped into her eyes: Shi Muran.
Pulling out the document behind the name strip, there are only two lines of words: I want to be beautiful and picturesque, but I have lost my dignity in this world.
Before he could think about the meaning, Shen Mu's slightly anxious voice came from outside: "Fourth Miss, Miss is studying, don't let others disturb ......"
"Am I someone else? I'm going to talk to my sister! Get out of the way. Du Piaoling's eyebrows glared at Shen Mu fiercely, and his tone was arrogant.
"Fourth Miss, this is the rule." Shen Mu didn't eat Du Piaoling's set, and stood in front of her extremely conscientiously, blocking the door to the side room.
"Get out of the way!" Du Piaoling stretched out his hand to push the sunken wood in front of him, but the sunken wood was like a mountain but did not move at all.
Quickly and calmly put away the things in front of him, Du Weiwei picked up a pair of notebooks and put them in a dignified manner, before he said loudly: "Shen Mu, don't be rude to the fourth lady." β
With the meaning of the young lady, Shen Mu retreated and pushed the door open for Du Piaoling: "Fourth Miss, please." β
"Humph!" Snorted heavily, Du Piaoling glared at this uninteresting minion again, and then stepped into the side room.
As soon as I entered, I was attracted by a faint fragrance: "Wow, it's so fragrant, what is so fragrant in my sister's room?" β
In the distance, Du Weiwei sat on the chair, with an antique calligraphy in his hand, and pulled up a faint smile: "Sister should feel that this fragrance is good, I will teach someone to send a few cups to my sister tomorrow." β
Du Piaoling seemed to have seen a strange house, and looked around in the side room, his face full of novelty.
Du Weiwei looked at the notebook and did not speak, but the corner of his eyes kept following Du Piaoling's movements, until Du Piaoling saw the extremely beautiful and transparent pine porcelain qin, and sat down in front of the piano happily, stretched out his hand and just wanted to pluck.
"Don't touch it." The cold voice did not have the slightest intimacy from before.
Du Piaoling froze in place, her outstretched hand didn't dare to move for a long time, looking at Du Weiwei's eyes, full of doubt and horror, the extremely cold voice made her feel terrified.
"For ...... Why can't you touch ......" Although there was a panic, Du Piaoling insisted on asking this sentence.
"Touch, it's okay." Du got up slightly, approached her, and put a smile on his face again, "It's up to you, whether you have that life or not." β
The pupils dilated, and Du Piaoling's body couldn't help but tremble, as if what he saw at that moment was not a Tianxiang woman, but a hellish demon.
The atmosphere was suddenly a little tense, the two of them stood and sat down, Du Weiwei's face was smiling, and there was a tendency to deepen more and more, but it made Du Piaoling more and more scared in his heart.
"I ...... I don't touch it......" shaking his hand to say this, Du Piaoling got up and left the position of the guqin.
Walking to the tea table, Du Weiwei flicked his water sleeves and sat down, motioning for Du Piaoling to sit down as well.
Seeing that Du Weiwei didn't have the chill just now, Du Piaoling gradually let go of the discomfort in his heart, sat down next to Du Weiwei, and finally said the purpose of coming to Weiyuan today: "Sister, one day is the book and painting meeting, do you want me to prepare something, so that I can shine, so that the four princes can notice me." As if he had won the jackpot at the meeting.
Picking up a piece of mung bean cake, Du Wei looked at it for a long time, gently pinched a corner, twisted it, and the mung bean cake broke on the table.
Seeing that Du Weiwei didn't reply to himself, Du Piaoling raised his voice and called out suspiciously: "Sister? β
As if she had just come back to her senses, Du Wei smiled gently and lovely: "I don't need anything, my sister only needs a piece of clothing." β
After speaking, he called out loudly: "Zikou." β
"Miss." Zikou entered the room, but the moment she saw Du Piaoling, she didn't even give half a look, just glanced by and waited for her young lady's orders.
"Go and get that beaded yarn to Sister Drifting's yard." Du Weiwei picked up the teacup and took a sip, as if what he was talking about was a worthless object.
Zikou was stunned, but she didn't react, Miss was talking about precious beaded yarn flowing satin? With a moment of doubt in her heart, Zikou froze in place, without an echo.
Seeing Zikou's stunned face, Du Wei smiled and said again: "What are you doing, go quickly." Tomorrow, I will find a tailor with good craftsmanship and cut a good dress for my sister. β
Du Piaoling on the side was already full of shock, as if he couldn't believe what his ears heard. The peerless fabric?
"Yes, miss." Zikou hung her head and led away.
"Sister! Is it really Xiaoxiang Pavilion's priceless jewel yarn flowing satin? Du Piaoling grabbed Du Weiwei's hand, the ecstasy and greed on his face were mixed, and he was indescribably ugly.
His heart became colder and colder, Du Piaoling was really a person who didn't know how to be serious, he only thought about how to be brilliant, but he never noticed whether he complied with this rule, on his face, Du Weiwei affirmed with a smile: "Yes, how could my sister lie to my sister." β
"Sister, you're so good to Piaoling!" Saying that, Du Piaoling hugged Du Weiwei all of a sudden.
Forcibly enduring the discomfort in his heart for Du Piaoling to get close to him, Du Weiwei patted Du Piaoling's back, and between the words, although there was a smile, it did not reach the bottom of his heart at all: "Don't worry, sister, I will definitely let my sister get that 'jackpot'." β
His eyes were full of indescribable thoughts.
