The good news came out of this Taiji Palace, no matter how jealous and sour the concubines were, they had to make a happy attitude on their faces; On the other hand, there were palace people who were busy and were ordered to go to the Hongnong County Mansion to deliver a message to the Yuan family, and they got a heavy reward. Not to mention how complicated the Yuan family's mood is, the Yang family is in charge of Mrs. Wei and specially held a night banquet. It is called a family banquet, but in fact, the eldest daughter and the second daughter who are married in Beijing are also called back to celebrate together.

Du Chongfeng also followed Yang Qian to the night banquet, and raised a glass to wish Yang Meiren's mother and son in the palace a safe future. In his eyes, there seemed to be a subtle difference in the joy on the faces of Yang Shijing and Mrs. Wei. These differences are not the difference between father and mother, but the difference between selfishness and true love. And these almost invisible differences are enough to sow the disaster of overturning the Yang family.

As for Yang Qian, Du Shishilang glanced at him sideways: he was even more overjoyed, as if he was happier than having a big fat son. In the past, when he was still naïve, he always felt that Senior Brother Yang's gentlemanly demeanor was occasionally scheming, but it was also harmless. Now that there is a prince who is also a "hypocrite" as a comparison, I have to say that Senior Brother Yang is indeed a few years old. When it comes to patience, on love, and even on pretense, he can't match the prince's offering.

Perhaps, what he can overcome the prince is that he is a little older than him, his family background is more prominent than him, and he has achieved the reputation of the first first. However, in order to compete for fame with that cheap cousin, Wang Dalang, he has done too much recently. should have been a school scrivener in the Hongwen Pavilion, conscientious, and a good evaluation, and promoted as soon as possible to get a real vacancy; Now he holds literary meetings every once in a while, calls friends, and makes friends widely. Such a move of ignoring the invitation may be touted by many literati. But for those who have really entered the official career, it is too frivolous and irresponsible.

Thinking of this, Du Shishilang sighed lightly in his heart. The night banquet full of delicacies in front of him, the scene of wealth and glory, actually made him a little tired. Perhaps because he grew up freely in poverty since he was a child, he never felt how beautiful this kind of drunken life was, and how worthy of fascination was. Perhaps, this is also one of the reasons why he is reluctant to marry the daughter of the Yang family.

Rather than follow the Yang family's camp and sink with them, and then the prosperous smoke and clouds will disperse once and be miserable and miserable—it is better to go hunting on the outskirts of Beijing with the smiling king of Tianshui County, and gallop on the grassy fields to the fullest. Put aside all the worries in your heart and live a life of your own domination......

He was looking down, Yang Shijing's gaze swept over the young man, and he couldn't help but think of Wang Zixian.

A few days ago, Concubine Yang Xian recommended the noble daughter of the Pei family in Hedong to Empress Du to enter the palace, and after he learned the news in the public office, he almost tore the official documents at hand to shreds. It is clear that he has already mentioned this young man in a letter to his eldest sister, and he also bluntly said that he is willing to be a matchmaker, optimistic about this family business, and will never let his niece suffer any grievances, but the Pei family has never replied. But it turned out that they chose Yang Xianfei at that time!!

Most of Yang Shangshu's anger stemmed from the eldest sister's choice and betrayal, and a very small part of it was blamed for his failure to control the situation. Thinking that he is a dignified scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and has the title of Duke of Hongnong County, he can't say that he will be the prime minister in the future - the Pei family actually chose to attach to Concubine Yang Xian and go against him!! It was his eldest sister and brother, but they joined forces to deal with him! How could he not be angry? Up to now, the only one who is always willing to stand behind him is his sister Concubine Yang.

It's just a pity that the prince dedicated this talented young man. In a short period of time, Rao is cheeky as Yang Shangshu, and he didn't want to mention any marriage with him. Otherwise, what is the difference between mentioning one case and destroying one case and naughtily laughing and humiliating? The dignified children of the Langya Wang family, why should they endure such insults?! Could it be that if you don't rely on the Yang family, you won't be able to marry a good wife?

Now Wang Zixian remained silent, not mentioning anything, and still interacting with the Yang family as a relative, which can be regarded as a very appropriate manner. If you change those very arrogant young men on the side, you can't say that you will be angry and cut off this distant relative sooner rather than later, and regard the Yang family as an enemy.

has lost such a good son-in-law as Wang Zixian, and looking at Du Shishilang again, Yang Shangshu felt that he had to keep this son. With such a smart young talent, there will not be too much to keep around. So, he kindly summoned Du Shilang to his side and asked him about his homework and future plans.

Du Chongfeng replied calmly on his face, but he was extremely vigilant in his heart: No, the prince was lucky to escape the trap of the Yang family, he couldn't fold himself in!! Tomorrow, he will go to find Li Hui, the king of Xin'an County, and Li Jing, the king of Tianshui County, so that he can do what he can for them!! Otherwise...... Otherwise, perhaps he will regret it.

At the same time, Li Jing was holding Li Hui's shoulders and back, and walked out of the main courtyard of Puwangfu West Road intimately: "I have already passed the word, although I can rest assured, if Du Shishilang wants to completely get rid of the Yang family, he must borrow our strength, and he can't help but be unsatisfied." Even if he shirks it, I will keep an eye on him. ”

Li Hui glanced at him: "Do you think I don't know?" Your so-called staring at him is just not forgetting to find him to be naughty. Don't just go out hunting with him, you have to share the worries of the second father with a good life. "The most important reason why Li Heng, the king of Yue, handed over the Yin and Yang Pisces to him is, of course, that his sons are not enough to entrust him. Although Li Jing has matured a lot compared to before, he still can't bear the burden, and he still has to continue to work hard.

"Hehe, my brother really knows me. Don't worry, of course I will share my worries for Grandpa. Tomorrow is a time of rest, and I have already planned to do my filial piety for my grandfather and aunt and go to the other palace to visit my grandmother. Li Jing grinned, "Wan Niang is clamoring to go with me, Yue Niang said she doesn't want to go, brother, are you going?" Speaking of which, my brother and grandmother don't seem to be familiar with each other? ”

"I didn't have the opportunity to meet the princess before." Li Hui replied, remembering that there were still many unknowns in the old affairs of King Huai, and his heart couldn't help but move slightly. Although the princess of Chu, Su, and the princess of Pu, Yan, had already written back to him, it also verified many of his guesses. But after all, after they got married, one was in the East Palace and the other was in the Wei Wangfu (Pu Wangfu), and they didn't know much about King Huai. And the princess has been in the palace, maybe she understands the events of the year better, maybe she can ask a lot of details that others don't know?

"You took Wanniang to see the princess alone, I really feel a little worried." So, the king of Xin'an County said solemnly, "It's better to go with you, so as not to encounter any accidents in Wanniang, and you can't explain to your uncle." Of course, this is indeed one of the reasons, he is honest and trusts his cousin's ability to take care of children.

Li Jing touched his nose and smiled: "Then tomorrow Brother and I will meet in Taiji Palace." With that, he rode back to the Yue Palace. Before, Li Heng, the king of Yue, turned a blind eye to his overnight stay in the Pu Wangfu, but in the past two days, he asked him not to disturb his cousin at will. Princess Yue Wang quietly sent him a few maids, and he had to go back to deal with it.

After he left, Wang Zixian slowly walked out of the shadows: "Xuanqi, how is the temperament of the princess?" ”

"The second father can develop the temperament he has now, and he must have something to do with the princess." Li Hui said, "I believe that she shouldn't hide her secrets too much." However, at that time, she may not have been able to find out much about the secrets. "It's too secret, of course the princess won't tell him, after all, there is no blood relationship between them. Even if the second father believes in him and his cousin Li Jing believes in him, it does not mean that the Yue Wangfu does not have its own secrets, and it does not mean that the princess will trust him wholeheartedly.

The prince pondered for a moment: "Can she help us find out about the affairs around Concubine Yang?" ”

"In the palace, my uncle and aunt have already installed a lot of eyeliner, which makes it difficult to move." Li Hui shook his head, "With the caution of the princess, she will definitely not act rashly." What's more, the people waiting around Concubine Yang may be the henchmen of the eldest princess of Anxing, and they will not let people find the handle. "When the concubines moved to the palace, the saint and Queen Du had already quietly settled everyone who should be safe, and they did not do less. It's just that the time is still short, and there is no news for the time being.

"Then be careful." The prince said, "Recently, Luo Niang and Xiang Niang have been going to visit Zimu together, and I will accompany my husband and them to the Great Ci'en Temple tomorrow. After all this time, Wang Luoniang and Wang Xiangniang were still unwilling to give up, thinking that with him coming forward, maybe Wang Zimu would change his mind. It's also time for them to know the stubbornness in the Wang family's bones.

Early the next morning, Li Hui and Li Jing entered the palace together and picked up Princess Yong'an. The little guy was reluctant to let his sister go, so he took Princess Changning all the way out, and kept persuading her to go with her. Princess Changning looked at Li Hui and smiled: "Good Wanniang, if my sister has something to do today, you can follow the two brothers with peace of mind." ”

"That'...... That sister must accompany me next time. Hearing that she was busy, Princess Yongan obediently turned to hug Li Hui, "Sister, don't forget ......"

Li Hui bowed slightly towards Princess Changning, as if affirming her actions. Li Jing didn't notice it, but said that he would definitely find an interesting place to go next time, and everyone would be comfortable going together. Princess Changning curled the corners of her lips and watched them get on the horse, and Princess Yong'an's disgusted chariot slowly followed.

At this moment, Queen Du, who was taking a nap, heard the female official next to her whisper, saying that it was Pei Cairen who asked to see her. This Pei Cai is the Pei Twelve Niang, and after being favored, he was named a talented person. She was born beautiful, and she seemed to be cold and dusty, but in fact she was a straightforward person, and she was also liked by saints.

"Did she come alone? That's a rarity. Empress Du then helped the female official to sit up, and said with a smile, "Let her in." "In the past, Yang Meiren and Pei Cairen always went in and out together, and they couldn't wait to announce their sisterly love to everyone in the palace. Now that one is pregnant, the seemingly "stable" relationship is shaky.

Pei Cai greeted him thoughtfully, and said some interesting things about the recent days, Fang's eyes flashed slightly, and he raised his eyes to look at Queen Du: "The concubine has a matter, I ask Her Royal Highness the Queen to fulfill it." ”

"Tell me about it." Empress Du said softly, "If I can do it, I will fulfill you." ”

"My little cousin recently diagnosed a happy pulse." Pei Cairen lowered his eyes and said, "This is the first time she is pregnant, and she can't stand the slightest disturbance, and she must always pay attention to her daily life, sitting and lying down." The concubine's temperament is a little casual, and occasionally when she is interested, she will play the piano in the middle of the night, which may disturb her. So, the concubine thought...... It's better for Her Royal Highness the Queen to call the shots and let the concubine temporarily move to another palace. When the little cousin gave birth to a child and was promoted, it was not too late for the concubine to go back to accompany her. ”

Empress Du smiled slightly: "Concubine Yang Xian has always said that I can't favor one over the other, and I should fulfill her sisterhood." Why don't you go and accompany her? ”

Pei Cairen was silent for a moment, and then saluted: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for your success!" ”
