Just as Li Anyue thought, a few days later, a wave of portraits was set off in Tianyang City. Su Mufeng was more shrewd than Li Anyue imagined, he sold the portrait by bidding, and the highest bidder got it, and Li Anyue got eight thousand taels of silver for the portrait alone. Su Mufeng made a batch of new styles of clothing according to the portrait, which attracted a burst of coaxing from the daughters, and Tianyang No. 1 Cloth Village was in the limelight for a while. Li Anyue didn't care too much, anyway, he had money in his hands.

Li Anyue took out some of the money and carefully selected a courtyard, and spent a few hundred taels to buy a new home, and he didn't have any acquaintances in Tianyang City, so he planned to take Ke'er, her mother-in-law and Ke'er's cousin over to live together.

"Miss, what are you doing with so many seeds?" Ke'er followed behind Li Anyue with a large bag and a small bag.

"These are some ordinary medicinal herbs, plant them in the yard, and some minor illnesses and pains can be solved by yourself in the future." Li Anyue's hands are not easy, they are all things that decorate the house.

"Oh, Miss is amazing!" Keer didn't know much about most of Li Anyue's practices, but she still chose to believe her. "Miss, look, there's a lot of people over there."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has returned to Beijing! Idlers retreat! A gong knocked on a road, and Li Anyue was still stunned and was pulled to the side by Ke'er. People knelt down in an uproar, Ke'er also hurriedly pulled Li Anyue to kneel, Li Anyue couldn't pull it and squatted, she only knew that she worshiped heaven and earth, worshiped her parents, worshiped her master and mother, and now even a prince has to kneel, it is really a feudal society.

The people around shouted, "Prince Chitose Chitose Chitose!" Li Anyue secretly glanced up, and a large group of people and horses passed in front of him, and in the middle was a luxurious gold-topped carriage, I don't know what this prince looks like? The curtain of the carriage was opened at this moment, and the prince smiled gently and waved to everyone inside, which was quite a bit of a military parade.

Li Anyue looked at that face, and her brain suddenly exploded, why is this person so familiar? It seems that the person who was chased and killed in the woods that day should not be the prince who he saved at that time, right? seemed to feel Li Anyue's gaze, and the people in the car also looked at her, Li Anyue quickly lowered her head, touched the wound on her neck, and wiped the Xue Youjin that Shen Yue gave herself, and the wound quickly recovered without leaving a scar.

Shen Yue, who said that she hadn't seen him for almost ten days, didn't know where to look for him when she thought about it, and she usually met him unintentionally, but she never asked him where he lived.

"Miss, Miss! What are you thinking? Hurry up! Ke'er saw that the prince had been gone for a long time, and Li Anyue was still kneeling on the ground and thought she was scared silly.

"Oh, it's okay, let's go back." Li Anyue brushed aside the unhappiness in her heart and walked back.

In the Jinluan Palace, hundreds of civil and military officials wearing official uniforms prostrate on the ground, "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" ”

"Flat." In front of them, a deep voice of the Ninety-Five Venerable wearing a yellow dragon robe and a golden crown resounded in the hall. This is the Son of Heaven of today's Yang Kingdom, the Shenyue Cangting.

"Emperor Xie!"

"Haotian, I heard that you encountered an assassin when you returned to the capital, but is there such a thing?" Shenyue Cangting looked at Shenyue Haotian who was standing at the front.

"Father, this is indeed the case. Fortunately, a young man rescued him at that time, and his son came back to see his father. Shenyue Haotian stood up and replied respectfully.

"How unreasonable! Who was so bold as to dare to assassinate the crown prince of Tianyang Kingdom! As the so-called Long Yan was angry, hundreds of ministers panicked, and when the military officials knelt down one after another, "The emperor is angry!" ”

"All right, get up, all of you. Haotian, are the injuries healed? Shenyue Cangting looked at them, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

"Father Xie cares, and after his son was injured, he found a secluded place to recuperate, and he has almost healed so far."

"God bless me! Haotian, make sure to do your best to investigate the Assassins and bring them to justice! Also, where is the young man you said now, I want to reward him well! ”

"Erchen must work hard to track down the murderer! The young man did not come back with Erchen because of the urgency of the situation, but Erchen was also trying to find it. ”

"Well, I believe in your abilities! Haoxuan, Haoqing, Haoyu, Haojie, your eldest brother has just come back, and many things in Tianyang Kingdom are still not very clear. ”

"Sons obey orders!" Several of those who were named responded one after another.

The so-called dragon gave birth to nine sons, the temperament of these brothers is also very different, Shenyue Haotian is the prince of Tianyang Kingdom, handsome and gentle. Shenyue Haoxuan is the second prince, and his smiling expression is often hung on his face, and he is known as the "smiling tiger". Shenyue Haoqing is the fourth prince, it is said that when he was nine years old, he suffered a fire, his face was burned, and he became very ugly, so he could only wear a mask all the time, and his personality was very cold, and his methods were very thunderous. Shenyue Haoyu is the fifth prince, with a beautiful face, a good relationship with the crown prince, and a reckless personality that is simple and immature. Shenyue Haojie is the sixth prince, and he is close to the second prince on weekdays, and he is a person of few words.

Within the princes, each has his own ideas. Civil and military officials also believe that as long as the crown prince does not ascend the throne and become emperor for a day, then the throne will not be set on a certain prince for a day, even if it is not necessarily a prince. Therefore, there are also their own supporters within the court, and the old ministers all support the prince, thinking that the prince is benevolent and will be a benevolent monarch. Some young ministers were co-opted by the second prince and supported the second prince. There are also some people who only look at merit, because the four princes have been named princes for meritorious service in successive battles, and they are favored by the emperor, so they support the four princes.

"Brother Prince, you're finally back!" In the Imperial Garden, a girl wrapped in a pale pink dress and wearing a white mink coat happily greeted the prince who had just fallen from the court.

"Come, let my brother see, our princess Mengwan is really getting more and more beautiful as she grows up! I haven't seen you for three years, and my brother almost doesn't recognize you. Shenyue Haotian touched Shenyue Mengwan's head lovingly.

"Brother Prince makes fun of people as soon as they meet!" Shenyue Mengwan is only fourteen years old, and her voice is still childish.

"I'm telling the truth. It's so cold outside, why don't you stay inside? Shenyue Haotian said that he was going to pull her back to Qingning Palace.

"Brother Huang." When he saw Shenyue Haoxuan and Shenyue Haojie coming this way, Shenyue Haotian motioned for the princess to go back first.

"Second Emperor Brother, Fifth Emperor Brother." Shenyue Haotian looked at them with a smile.

"I heard that the imperial brother was seriously injured, I don't know if he is really healed now? Don't hurt your body recklessly" Shenyue Haoxuan put on a consistent smile, but there was a coldness in his eyes that could not be hidden.

"The second brother of Lao has bothered, and the injuries on his body have been completely healed." Shenyue Haotian didn't mind still answering politely, and when he saw Shenyue Haoqing coming from behind, he greeted, "Haoqing!" ”

Shenyue Hao glanced at them coldly, just nodded lightly at Shenyue Haotian, didn't look at the other two, and left without looking back.

"These four imperial brothers are really cold, and the imperial brother didn't offer condolences when he came back, and those who didn't know thought he was looking forward to something happening to the imperial brother." Shenyue Haoxuan looked at the disappearing back and said sarcastically.

"Heh, the fourth emperor brother was originally indifferent. If the second emperor's brother is fine, the prince will go back to the house first. Shenyue Haotian smiled faintly.

"Oh, yes, after all, the royal brother and the concubines have been separated for a long time, and they really can't wait to get together." After Shenyue Haoxuan sent Shenyue Haotian away, the smile on his face quickly turned into a cold mockery, "Hmph, look how long he is still proud!" Sixth brother, send someone to keep an eye on it! ”

Inside the Prince's Mansion

"Prince, I heard that you were injured, how are you doing now?" As soon as I entered the door, a woman wearing a dark purple skirt, a plain veil, a fallen horse bun, and a purple jade and gold hairpin greeted her with lotus steps, followed by a woman who was also wearing a dark green skirt and dressed a little more subtlely.

"Oh, the crown princess, the side concubine, I'm fine." Shenyue Haotian pulled away the woman who threw herself into his arms and responded with a smile.

The brightly dressed is the crown princess Qin Shiyu, the daughter of Qin Shiqing, who unexpectedly became the crown princess at the banquet of the crown prince's concubine selection three years ago. The slightly inferior dress next to him was Lin Lin, the daughter of Lin Shangshu. Such a marriage is nothing more than a political marriage, but the moment he became the crown prince, he already knew that his whole life would be associated with politics, and it was his destiny.

After not coming back for three years, the crown princess and the prince's side concubine inevitably cried again, and after Shenyue Haotian settled them, she went to the study alone.

Three years ago, he was framed for using witchcraft in the palace, and was punished by the emperor in a fit of anger to go to Huashan Temple to meditate, and there was still a constant pursuit along the way, although he was in the temple, he still had to worry about his life from time to time, and finally came back after three years, but he was almost killed by the assassin. When will the royal battle stop? Being in the royal family, but I can't help myself.

"Master." An unintentional voice sounded outside the study.

"Come in." Shenyue Haotian put down the book in his hand, "Did you find it?" ”

"I found it, just as the master thought, those assassins disappeared as if they had disappeared from the world, leaving no evidence behind."

"Since he did it, he wouldn't leave a handle behind, I expected it early in the morning."

"Also, I heard that King Qingning also went to Yongfang Town before."

Shenyue Haotian paused for a moment before looking up and asking, "I asked you to check what that young man found?" ”

"I heard that a few days ago, a young man rescued a woman, whose appearance and characteristics were similar to what I saw that day, and his subordinates also sent people to follow him, but he seemed to be very vigilant, and quickly threw our people away."

"This man is chivalrous. What happened to the people who were spying on the Prince's Mansion? ”

"According to the master's orders, the subordinates did not alarm them."

"Alright, let's go down and keep an eye on what's going on over there."

"Yes!"

Shenyue Haotian rubbed his eyes, changed into civilian clothes, walked to the hall, and saw the two concubines gathered in the pavilion outside the hall, "Why are you all here?" ”

"The concubine body sees the crown prince." The crown princess Qin Shiyu and the side concubine Lin Lin hurriedly asked for peace. "Prince, the concubine is chatting with her sister." The crown princess Qin Shiyu hurriedly helped Shenyue Haotian to sit down.

"What is this?" Shenyue Haotian took the picture scroll on the stone table and opened it to see that it was Li Anyue's portrait, "Why doesn't the woman in the painting have a face?" ”

"This is the painting of a fairy girl who was rumored in Tianyang City a few days ago, and the concubine and her sister also want to see the beauty, but the paintings with faces were bought by the sons of other families at a high price, so we can only ask for this faceless painting to be addicted, Your Highness, this fact is the daughter's thing, and the concubine will take it away." Qin Shiyu originally wanted to take the portrait back, but Shenyue Haotian took the first step to pick it up.

"Oh? Sounds like a lot of fun. Shenyue Haotian looked at the painting in his hand, and the painting showed a woman with a green hair, a wreath of flowers on her head, a white gauze dress, and a wide skirt behind her, Yujie's fingers were stretching out to herself, making people unable to take their eyes off her.

"Does the prince also think that this woman should be a fairy?" Although the crown princess was dissatisfied with the prince's expression, she also had to show generosity.

"Heh, how can you guess if you don't have a face, the crown princess and the side concubines should not want to eat the vinegar of this unknown woman." Shenyue Haotian smiled slightly, handed her the scroll and walked out of the prince's mansion.

"Humph! Who told you to take this picture out at this time! Qin Shiyu watched Shenyue Haotian walk away, and angrily poured her anger on the side concubine Lin Lin.

Lin Lin lowered her head and didn't speak, but she couldn't get angry, pursed her lips tightly, and waited for the princess to leave before she stomped her feet in anger, and ordered her subordinates to take the painting and burn it.
