Weiyang Palace is the sleeping palace of Emperor Qianwen. Emperor Qianwen rarely stayed in the palace of his concubines, and most of them stayed in his own Weiyang Palace Yangxin Palace. The main hall of Weiyang Palace is a self-cultivation hall. On weekdays, if you are not dealing with national affairs in the imperial study, you will review and review in this self-cultivation hall.

Today is the first day of the first month of the 21st year of the Qiansheng Dynasty, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty can be exempted from the 30th day of the previous dynasty to the resumption of the military from February from today. Although it is exempt from the court, but the things that should be dealt with, but none of them can be left behind, and whoever is on duty has to go to the government office for a day, if there is something important, it will be written and presented to Emperor Qianwen.

Emperor Qianwen, as the king of a country, cannot tolerate the slightest slackness, even on the first day of the new year, he is not allowed to be idle for half a day, but he can get up a little later than usual. At this time, it was only three o'clock, and Emperor Qianwen was already sitting on the desk to deal with the mountain of twists and turns. This twist and turn has been processed in batches, and another batch has been sent, and I don't know when it will be completed.

"Emperor Qi, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Princess, His Royal Highness the King of Qing, His Royal Highness the King of You, and His Royal Highness the Four Princes are waiting outside the palace." The little eunuch who was guarding outside the palace saw Her Royal Highness the princess and several princes coming from a distance, so he cleverly advanced into the self-cultivation hall. After he finished speaking, several people happened to walk to the door.

Emperor Qianwen only had these four sons and one daughter in his life, and now the four princes Dongfang Fang is only seventeen and has not been crowned king.

Dongfang Du left his personal maid Banlan in Fengqing Palace, and only brought a few ordinary palace maids and eunuchs at random, and then went to Emperor Qianwen's Weiyang Palace. On this way, the first thing I met was these four princes, Dongfang.

Dongfang Yu was still a lively and cheerful child when he was young, but the more he grew up, the more silent he became. Neither interacted with the crown prince and the third prince, nor rarely met with the princess Dongfang Lingwu, only stayed in his Hongqin Palace, learned to read, and occasionally went to the imperial garden for a walk, even if it was fun and relaxed.

"Second Emperor Brother, are you okay? I didn't go to visit the royal brother yesterday, please forgive me. Dongfang Yu was respectful and polite to Dongfang Du like a brother, and he also said it calmly about not visiting her yesterday.

Dongfang Du raised his eyes to look at Dongfang Xuan, and said with a light smile: "It turned out to be the fourth emperor brother, the imperial brother is in good health, but he still needs to use a wheelchair to travel for some time, so you are worried." As he spoke, he looked at the Dongfang Mansion in front of him without a trace, gentle and polite, with soft eyes, and had neither alienation nor intimacy with him.

"Then it's better to push this section of the way." After speaking, Dongfang Xuan waved his hand at the little eunuch behind Dongfangdu's wheelchair and walked straight behind her, "To make up for not visiting the imperial brother yesterday, can the imperial brother agree?" ”

This person was pushing the handrail behind him, and Dongfang Du couldn't refuse, so he could only nod in agreement, "Thank you Fourth Emperor Brother for that." ”

The two didn't talk much along the way, just walked quietly in the direction of Weiyang Palace, and when they were about to reach Weiyang Palace, they met the crown prince and the third prince, as well as Dongfang Lingwu.

Dongfang Du caught a glimpse of the surprise that flashed on Dongfang Lingwu's face, smiled lightly, and explained: "I happened to meet the Fourth Emperor Brother on the way, so he came with me. "It's okay not to explain this, as soon as it is explained, Dongfang Lingwu is even more surprised in his heart. This Dongfang's dormitory is not on the same side as the Fengqing Palace in Dongfang!

Dongfang Du was not familiar with the arrangement of those palaces, but Dongfang Lingwu knew it. Dongfang Yu was not embarrassed, and said directly: "Actually, I specially waited for the second emperor brother there. ”

"The palace didn't know that the relationship between the fourth emperor brother and the second emperor brother was now close." The prince interjected on the side, "You and I are brothers, we should be closer and closer......" said and looked at Dongfangdu, "You say yes, second emperor brother~" This second emperor brother shouted meaningfully, and several people present, except for Dongfang Du, who heard the meaning of these words, the others were confused.

"It's nature. After leaving the palace for four years, he has become a lot stranger to his brother, sister and brother, and he needs to be closer and closer. No, it's just close to the Four Emperor Brothers. Dongfang Du followed Dongfang Xi's words. She didn't know that Dongfang Di was deliberately waiting for her on that part of the road, but it was not broken.

As if chatting, several people walked towards Weiyang Palace while talking, but the one pushing the wheelchair was still the fourth prince Dongfang. Dongfang Lingwu thought about replacing Dongfang Xuan, but Dongfang Xuan said: "Sister Huang, such a trivial matter, let's let Dongfang come." Directly rejected Dongfang Lingwu.

Dongfang Lingwu glanced at Dongfang Du, saw that she raised her eyebrows lightly, and said knowingly: "Since the imperial brother is so insistent, then let the fourth imperial brother continue to push." ”

As soon as the five of them walked to the main hall of Weiyang Palace, the little eunuch saluted and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Princess, His Royal Highness the King of Qing, His Royal Highness the King You, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, the servants have already communicated to the emperor, and several His Royal Highnesses can go in." After the little eunuch finished speaking, he bowed his head sideways and made a gesture of please.

"The sons and daughters visit their father, long live their father, long live long live." The five of them knelt down together and saluted, and said a few words of blessing to Emperor Qianwen in order.

Emperor Qianwen put down the cinnabar pen, squinted and smiled and listened to the blessings of several children to him, and as soon as they finished speaking, he said, "Get up." After saying that, he got up, bypassed the dragon case, and went to a few people.

Looking at a few children who had grown up, Emperor Qianwen was very relieved, but when he thought of something, his heart couldn't help but sink, "Xi'er, you are twenty-four years old this year, and this statecraft may be used easily?" "The child will inevitably want to compare himself with his father, he ascended the throne as the emperor at the age of twenty, and Dongfang Xi is now twenty-four, but he is still the crown prince, this heart will inevitably change, this throne, sooner or later, will be passed to him, but, why should he be unwilling?

"With Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Shen teaching their sons, this policy of governing the country has been learned." Governing the country, weighing the strategy, the monarch and the ministers have all learned these imperial skills, plus on weekdays, observing and learning in the court, Dongfang Xi is confident that he can be a good prince, even if he is allowed to ascend the throne as an emperor at this time, he can also be a good generation of emperors.

Emperor Qianwen nodded, and said to Dongfang Du: "Du'er, you are now nineteen, and you have been crowned king, it is time to marry the princess." After the first month, I will issue an edict to choose a virtuous and virtuous woman to be your princess among the daughters of the ministers......" Emperor Qianwen wanted to say something more, but Dongfang Du said: "Father, the son is not in a hurry to marry the princess at this time, and when his body is completely well, he will mention the matter of choosing a concubine." ”

"This is reasonable, then wait for Du'er to be completely healthy, and then my father will choose a concubine for you." As he spoke, he patted her on the shoulder, "Du'er, get better quickly." Emperor Qianwen felt quite guilty, if he hadn't asked Dongfang Du to go to Najizhou City, she would not have fallen ill, and she would not have been weak enough to use a wheelchair to walk.

Hearing that Emperor Qianwen wanted to choose a concubine for Dongfang, Dongfang Lingwu's heart couldn't help but mention, if he really wanted to choose a concubine, what should Dark Cloud do? Could it be that you can only be secretly with Dongfang Du for the rest of your life? In addition to the dark clouds, there is also the identity of a woman in Dongfangdu, if she marries the daughter of a minister, this identity, I am afraid that it will be exposed! Fortunately, Dongfang Du refused, and Emperor Qianwen also agreed. But this can drag on for a while, but it can't be delayed for a lifetime, and the best way is to marry Dark Cloud Mingmei back to be her princess.

Emperor Qianwen saw that Dongfang Lingwu seemed to be distracted, frowned and asked, "Wu'er, what are you thinking?" "Looking at her like that, it seems that she is thinking about something tangled? Thinking of Dongfang Lingwu's age, two years older than Dongfang Du, but he didn't even have a horse, Emperor Qianwen couldn't help but sigh deeply again, "Wu'er, don't worry, after the imperial examination, my father will choose a good horse for you......"

When Dongfang Lingwu heard this, she couldn't help but tug at the corners of her mouth, she wasn't thinking about choosing a horse to marry! She's just worried about Orientalism and Dark Clouds! But then again, she does have to worry about the colt. After having a deep conversation with Dongfang Du last night, she made up her mind, if you don't want it!

"Father, son...... The sons and ministers all listened to their father's ......" Dongfang Lingwu wanted to refuse, but when the words came to his mouth, he thought that he had no excuse to refuse, so he could only change his words, and for the time being, he followed Emperor Qianwen's wishes, and looked like Emperor Qianwen was in charge. Dongfang Du once said that the four of them would leave the palace together and live an unrestrained and free life together, and she believed that she could do it.

After caring about Dongfang Lingwu, Emperor Qianwen cared about Dongfang Xu and Dongfang Xuan again, and nagged for more than half an hour before letting the five of them go back to their respective palaces. The five of them left Weiyang Palace, and went to Ganquan Palace together to greet Dongfang Xi and Dongfang Xu's biological mother, the current queen.

Leaving Ganquan Palace, Dongfang Xi and Dongfang Xu can naturally go back to their palaces, but Dongfang Du and Dongfang Xuan still need to ask their mothers for peace. While this was not yet separated, the crown prince said to Dongfangdu: "Second emperor brother, two days later, the imperial brother will hold a banquet in the East Palace to celebrate you and the third brother being crowned kings, remember to go to the appointment on time." The imperial sister and the four imperial brothers remember to come together, and we brothers can just be close and close. ”

This is the first time that Dongfang Xi has set up a banquet to invite a few people from Dongfangdu, Dongfang Du did not refuse, and directly nodded in agreement, "Thank you Brother Huang so much." Dongfang Du agreed, and Dongfang Lingwu and Dongfang Xuan naturally would not refuse.

When Dongfang Du went to Zhaoxian Palace and returned to Fengqing Palace, it was almost dark. At this hour, Dark Cloud unexpectedly did not get up, and still slept on the bed.

Seeing that Dongfang Du was back, Dark Cloud stretched out lazily and asked, "Why did you go for so long?" I thought I would be back in half an hour...... "Isn't this just going to say hello!" How can it take more than an hour!

"Naturally, I want to have a chat after saying goodbye, so I naturally delay for a while." Dongfang Du sat down on the edge of the bed, stretched out his hand and gently rubbed the side of the dark cloud's face, thinking that his hand was too cold, and took it back. Dark Cloud held her hand, put it in the futon, and said with a smile: "It's warm in a while...... After thinking about it, he said, "Why don't you come up and lie down for a while?" As he spoke, his fingers drew circles on the back of Dongfangdu's hand......

"Uh......" Dongfang Du felt her teasing/teasing/teasing, hesitated, and finally bit his lower lip, shook his head and said, "No, wait for you to get up later, after breakfast, I have something to give you." ”
