In the Eighth Prince's Mansion, Xuan Li threw the letter paper into the flames on the side, and in an instant, the flames licked the handwriting on the paper and turned into a pile of ashes. The staff behind him finally couldn't help but ask, "Why did His Highness refute Jiang Zhaoyi's meaning?" ”

Jiang Dan's mention of wanting to join forces with Xuanli to bring down the Jinying Mansion sounds tempting, and since Jiang Dan said so, he must have an idea. With Xuanli's cautious temperament, he should have listened to it, but Xuanli rejected Jiang Dan without hesitation, which is really a bit strange.

"She's in a hurry now, so she can't hold her breath. I think there is something on Jiang Ruan, and I want to borrow my hand to deal with Jiang Ruan, and by the way, I want to mention the Jinying Palace. What can she do, and it's really not worth my help. Xuanli looked at the beating flames: "Besides, this woman is quite scheming, and now she is mixed with the fifth child." ”

The staff followed Xuanli's gaze to look at the flames, and probably knew that it was a secret security from the palace, and Jiang Dan had a relationship with Xuanhua in such a short period of time, and it was indeed obvious that he was in a hurry. The staff muttered: "What does His Highness mean ......?" ”

"Fools." Xuanhua said casually: "If these two people can join forces to bring down the Jinying Palace, it is naturally good, Xiao Shao's existence has always been a stumbling block, one day I will also clean up this stone, someone will do it for me, why not?" He seemed to think it was a little funny: "If their skills are not as good as others, with Xiao Shao and Jiang Ruan's temperament, what benefits do you think they can get?" Xuan Li said: "The fifth child has been an eyesore in the court for a long time, and now there is another Xuan Pei, if the fifth child disappears from this world, it will be a good thing for me." He looked at the golden buttons on his sleeve and said, "I have nothing to lose, so why bother to wade into this troubled water?" ”

"Your Highness is wise." The staff sighed: "The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits, and His Royal Highness has picked up the benefits." He thought for a while, and suddenly said: "It's just that Jiang Zhaoyi was originally a person of His Royal Highness, and suddenly joined forces with the five princes, so he couldn't be used by us, and became an outcast, and the news in the palace in the future ......." ”

"She's useless." Xuan Li interrupted him: "Yuan Chuan has already arrived in the palace, what is the use of Jiang Dan." It's better to use the last one to help me do something, and it's not in vain. ”

The staff nodded: "In this case, then rest assured and wait for the good news." His Royal Highness is worthy of being the best chess player, and after this game of chess is at its best, His Royal Highness still has to come to the end. ”

……

Jiang Ruan stretched his waist, subconsciously hugged the source of warmth in his hand, and opened his eyes vaguely, only to find that he was still holding Xiao Shao's waist with both hands, and Xiao Shao's quiet sleeping face was in front of him.

The sunlight faintly shone in through the curtain for a minute or two, and it also illuminated her chaotic mind a little more clearly, and suddenly remembered what had happened yesterday. It's just to tell the past and the inventory of the previous life, and somehow kissed Xiao Shao in the end, and the emotion came suddenly, Xiao Shao took advantage of her to be in a daze and carried her out of the study. It is about the tide of love that can also dilute some of the pain, and release all the painful emotions in those intimate moments of intense sweat fighting.

And then what? Jiang Ruan was slightly stunned, and felt the soreness all over his body as if he had been crushed hard. I have to say that Xiao Shao is really very smart, and what others have learned several times can be perfected once as long as they are perfected. It was the same in these things, where did such a good coincidence come from, and it almost made her dizzy in that strange bliss. And this person has a steady and cold temperament on weekdays, but for some reason he is very bad on the couch, and every time the person who deliberately bullies is speechless, he just looks at the person struggling to obey the soft before giving up.

She propped her chin in one hand and carefully looked at the young man lying on her side. Xiao Shao's eyelashes were long and straight, and a silhouette drooped under the eyelids. The bridge of the nose is high and beautiful, and the lips are thin and rosy. Xiao Shao, who was asleep, looked very quiet, and it was hard to imagine the sweat and crazy movements of such a calm and cold person in the night. As long as I have those memories in my head, I feel a little confused.

When he was thinking about it, his hand was pulled suddenly, and he fell into a warm embrace, Xiao Shao's eyes did not open, but his voice was very sober, with a faint satisfaction after gluttony, and said: "It's still early." ”

"It's not early." Jiang Ruan replied casually, then reacted and said, "Are you awake?" ”

The corners of Xiao Shao's lips curved, he opened his eyes to look at her, and said, "Hmm." ”

This man seems to be wilting as soon as he is not in front of those subordinates, and occasionally very naïve, and he probably finds the game of playing tricks on people very fun. In Jiang Ruan's eyes, such a move is very similar to Xuan Pei. It's just that Xuan Pei is cute when he does this, and it looks a little weird when he looks at someone like Xiao Shao, who always has a cold face on weekdays.

"You ......" Jiang Ruan pushed him, but Xiao Shao didn't let go, his strength was already great, as long as he used a little skill, Jiang Ruan couldn't help it. At this moment, he had no choice but to lie in his arms, but remembered something and asked: "I said those words to you yesterday, and you have not been able to hear your words in the last minute, when are you going to say it?" ”

Thinking of this, Jiang Ruan was very uncomfortable, she was very emotional yesterday, and when Xiao Shao carried her back to the room, she was also looked at by the people of the palace. What will those people think, as soon as the princess returns home, she can't wait to prostitute herself with her master in the study during the day, does it seem too? As for Steward Lin, I'm afraid I'm even more confused, how can I talk about the secret so much that I went to the couch?

Now that the face of the inside is all gone, Jiang Ruan only feels that it is more difficult to establish his authority in front of his subordinates, and he can't help but sigh in his heart. Xiao Shao looked slightly stunned, and said, "You were too eager yesterday, I thought you wanted to do something more important." ”

"What's more important?" Jiang Ruan glared at him: "What do you mean by something more important?" "It's clear that this person has a ghost in his heart, and he just wants to soothe him gently, but this guy is taking advantage of people's danger.

Xiao Shao couldn't help but laugh again, Jiang Ruan glared at him for a while, and then laughed, she pushed Xiao Shao: "Okay, let's get up first." I don't have anything to do today, and I can hear what you want to say. She quipped, "Even if you say you're the same person who died once as I am, I wouldn't dislike it." ”

"If you want to hear it, I'll tell you." Xiao Shao touched her hair: "Let's get up first." ”

After breakfast, Jiang Ruan and Xiao Shao walked to the courtyard, where the pavilion was adjacent to the pond, and the water in the pond was blue and blue, among which red fish swam around, embellished with the monotonous winter day and was extraordinarily smart. Jiang Ruan thought about Xiao Shao's words in his heart, and at this moment, seeing that his face was no longer as relaxed as in the morning, and even a little gloomy, he also realized that there was something different about this matter, and just followed him silently.

"Ah Ruan," Xiao Shao said, "You have worshiped my father's tablet." ”

"Yes," Jiang Ruan nodded, "the day we got married." On the day she married into King Jinying's mansion, she personally worshiped her in-laws in front of the tablet of the old King Jinying and his wife. At this moment, when I heard Xiao Shao talk about it, I remembered it.

"Actually, you didn't worship them." Xiao Shao lowered his eyes, didn't know what he thought, and said slowly: "There is nothing for you to worship." ”

Jiang Ruan was stunned and looked at him inquiringly. The meaning of this is really a little thought-provoking, is it to say that the tablet in the ancestral hall is actually not King Jinying and his wife? Or something else.

"Do you remember the day you came to the house and saw me here to worship others?" Xiao Shao stood with his hands in his hands, and his upright body actually showed a little depression at this moment: "That's the person you should worship." ”

Jiang Ruan was shocked, but remembered that there was indeed a day, that is, the day when Xiao Shao kissed her drunkly, and it was she who bumped into Xiao Shao worshipping someone. She was still strange that day, because it was not the festival day of King Jinying and his wife. But she couldn't think of any other reason. The suspicions of the time were finally confirmed at this moment. She was thinking about Xiao Shao's words, when she only heard Xiao Shao's voice coming from her side: "I am not the son of King Jinying." ”

Jiang Ruan raised his head, Xiao Shao's dark eyes couldn't tell what emotion was, he said, "My father is Prince Hongxi. ”

Jiang Ruan was stunned for a moment, and then a monstrous storm set off in his heart. Prince Hongxi, the eldest son of the Empress Dowager Yide, and the brother of the current emperor, should have been the current monarch of the Dajin Dynasty, but the crown prince who died under the trampling of ten thousand horses when quelling the rebellion of the vassal king on the eve of the founding of the country was Xiao Shao's father?

Xiao Shao glanced at Jiang Ruan, turned his face away, stood on the edge of the pavilion, and spoke slowly.

Empress Dowager Yide has two sons and a daughter, the eldest daughter, Princess Yuanrong, is intelligent and gentle, generous and decent. The second son, Prince Hongxi, is also young and famous in Kyoto, and the current emperor is the youngest, and he is spoiled by his two sisters and brothers, and he is also smart in the end. The relationship between these three people has always been good, when the emperor was alive, he was quite jealous of the strong style of the Empress Dowager Yide, that is, even the mother of the Empress Dowager Yide was suppressed, although the Empress Dowager Yide acted vigorously and had quite a means in the court, the biggest blow came from her husband. The first emperor was afraid of the power of the Empress Dowager Yide, so he had been favoring the concubines, and even deliberately promoted other princes to balance the power. This did block the possibility of the dictatorship of foreign relatives, but after the death of the first emperor, the original balanced situation was disrupted, and the Great Jin Dynasty ushered in an unprecedented crisis, and the eight kings seized the throne.

Prince Hongxi is the nominal crown prince, but this prince is not very stable, not to mention the eight ambitious brothers, even among the courtiers below rarely support him. The first emperor left a mess for the Empress Dowager Yide, but asked Prince Hongxi to evaluate this chaotic country.

Each of the eight brothers occupies the mountain as the king, and wants to force the palace. The Empress Dowager Yide had no choice but to seek foreign aid. At that time, there was one who appeared, the princess of the Southern Frontier Kingdom, Qi Man. Prince Hongxi is not only a real man with both ability and political integrity, but also has a heart for the world, but he is also handsome and graceful. At that time, southern Xinjiang had not been destroyed, and its strength should not be underestimated. This princess once saw Prince Hongxi when she came to Dajin, and secretly liked it in her heart, but unfortunately Prince Hongxi politely declined.

Prince Hongxi's crown princess is Xiang Xiaoyuan, the first medical girl of the Dajin Dynasty, although Xiang Xiaoyuan is not as beautiful as Qi Man, but she has good medical skills, and there are many new and strange things in her mind. She was not born in an official family, but came out of the mountains, and once helped a dying minister of Yipin to pick up a life, it is said that she did some "surgery" and entered the palace to get the official position of a medical woman. Prince Hongxi and her were able to get married, and it was also a lot of tossing, but fortunately, they finally got the beauty after the most love. Prince Hongxi has always been clean and self-conscious in the affairs of men and women, and he and Xiang Xiaoyuan are truly in love, and Xiang Xiaoyuan, the princess in the backyard, was dismissed privately, how could he agree to the proposal of the princess of southern Xinjiang to divorce Xiang Xiaoyuan to marry the princess.

It's just that this is irrational in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Yide, it is true that she also loves Xiang Xiaoyuan's cleverness and vision that is different from any woman's vision, but it is not a wise man to give up the great cause of the country because of a woman. Maybe Prince Hongxi is indeed not a competent emperor, and his heart is not ruthless enough, but he is indeed a good husband and father.

Qi Man let out his words, if Prince Hongxi agreed, Nanjiang could borrow 100,000 troops to help the rebellion of the eight kings of the Dajin Dynasty, Prince Hongxi should not, but the current emperor is not doing it. The emperor and Prince Hongxi have always had a close relationship, the two brothers have thought of everything since they were young, even the women they like, Xiang Xiaoyuan is smart and different from any woman, Prince Hongxi likes it, and the emperor likes it too. But in Xiang Xiaoyuan's eyes, the emperor was just a little brother, and he could only watch her marry his brother.

Maybe it was because of the jealousy and unwillingness in his heart, or maybe he was more suitable to be an emperor than Prince Hongxi's heart, he promised Qi Man that he could think of letting Qi Man get Prince Hongxi first, and then send troops to help the Great Jin Dynasty. The emperor's original intention was actually just an expedient measure, he thought it was just the love of men and women, and Prince Hongxi had nothing to lose after he reached the top. As long as Qi Man is temporarily appeased, after the rebellion of the Eight Kings is rehabilitated, it is okay to find another reason to kick Qi Man away.

The only variable is Xiang Xiaoyuan, Xiang Xiaoyuan is emotionally different from any woman in this world, she pays attention to the fact that a man can only have one woman in his life, and three wives and four concubines are crimes. This was a big rebellion in the Jin Dynasty, but Prince Hongxi agreed. No matter how many people gave them power at the beginning, Prince Hongxi's attitude was always very resolute. The emperor thought that he couldn't do it like Prince Hongxi, and he didn't mock in his heart and waited to look at Xiaoyuan's disappointed appearance, but everyone was shocked, and Xiang Xiaoyuan's smile was dazzling, Prince Hongxi did it.

If this matter was told to Xiao Yuan, I don't know how much variables it would cause, but for the sake of the Great Jin Dynasty, perhaps also for the dark thoughts in the emperor's own heart, he finally made this decision that he regretted for the rest of his life.

At that time, not long after Xiang Xiaoyuan gave birth to Xiao Shao, Xiao Shao had just been full moon, and on the day of the full moon wine, countless guests came and went, and it was very lively.
