The moonlight in the middle of the yuan, the lotus fragrance is wanton.

A young man in white sat on the corner of the eaves of the stone pavilion, his legs dangling in the air and swaying at will, he held a bamboo flute in his hand, played with it twice and then put it to his mouth, a melodious and crisp flute sound came out, and the discordant tune disturbed the person who had just walked into the lotus garden.

The two men stood one after the other, and the person standing in front of them was dressed in a dark brocade robe, and the python pattern embroidered on the clothes seemed to have a spiritual dance claw under the moonlight, but the young man who played the flute was as far as the eyes could reach.

As soon as the song was played, the young jade fingers turned and put the flute into his sleeve, and the beautiful eyes of the crescent carving looked at the man in Xuanyi and chuckled.

"Childe entered our family's mansion and kept staring at me, but did he take a fancy to me?"

Before the man could speak, the person standing behind him was the first to laugh, his eyes overflowing with love.

"Cheng'er, don't be rude, don't come down to meet the four princes soon."

The young man was stunned, jumped down from above with his palm on the eaves, and looked at the man who was more than a head taller than him and made a respectful gesture.

"Lian Qingcheng, I've seen the Fourth Highness."

The man in Xuanyi just stood quietly and pursed his lips silently, there are three sons in the palace, the son-in-law Lian Qingliu was born to Mrs. Zheng, the second son Lian Qingchen and the third son Lian Qingcheng are the brothers of the same mother, Mrs. Shu died in childbirth when he gave birth to Lian Qingcheng, and even the second son somehow ran away from the house at the age of ten.

Lian Qingcheng pursed his lips and glared at the person in front of him unhappily.

Dachang Guosheng, but the whole world is established on the foundation of the previous dynasty, today's monarch Feng Wushi is also a generation of retainers in the previous dynasty, the previous emperor was mediocre and cruel to the loyal and good, the people lived in dire straits, Feng Wushi had no choice but to rise up, after ascending the throne, the sister of the meritorious minister Liu was the queen, and the son Feng Guiyu was born to the prince, and the four highnesses in front of him, I heard that his biological mother was the princess of the previous dynasty, and after the destruction of the country, the identity of the remnants of the previous dynasty was forced to die in the Jinluan Palace. The Fourth Highness Feng Gui was only two years old at the time, and he was still young and the prince, so he was saved from disaster and handed over to the queen to be raised.

"The third son is exempt."

After a long time, Feng Guixie slowly said a word, and the warm and cool voice slightly reduced some of the unhappiness in Lian Qingcheng's heart.

"Big brother, you brought guests late at night, to discuss some military affairs?"

Lian Qingcheng intuitively felt that these four princes were not good matches, and with curiosity, he jumped to Lian Qingliu's side and shook his arm mischievously.

"What's the big deal, it's just that His Royal Highness heard that the lotus garden in the palace was built wonderfully, and he has always wanted to come and see it, and it just so happened that he saw me enter the palace today, so he came with me."

"That's it?"

The young man looked at him suspiciously, Lian Qingliu smiled helplessly, and reached out to knock the young man's head.

"When did Big Brother lie to you."

"It's true."

Lian Qingcheng covered his head and laughed twice, his beautiful eyes were shining.

Feng Guixie quietly looked at the two brothers funny, and the moment he met Lian Qingcheng's gaze, he suddenly had a slight feeling for those pure eyes, afraid of being embarrassed by himself, he lightly looked away and turned to look at the lotus flower in the pond, sniffed lightly with the tip of his nose, and slowly spoke.

"The lotus flowers here seem to be a little different from those in the palace."

"The Fourth Highness is also a person who loves Lian?"

Lian Qingcheng looked at him with some surprise, the lotus flowers in the lotus garden have always been taken care of by him, Rao is has bloomed a few times, and the eldest brother and father didn't see the difference from the side, and they didn't expect that this fourth highness who had met for the first time was such a transparent person.

"Out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons, the world compares it to a 'gentleman', it has its own uniqueness, I don't love lotus, but the queen likes it, so I read more books."

"My lotus garden is full of wonders, that is, in the cool autumn season, there are also thousands of lotus leaves, the moon shines on the lotus, and the fragrance is clear and pure, and it must not be comparable elsewhere."

Even Qingcheng didn't care whether his words were disrespectful or not, and his demeanor was full of pride, and he couldn't hide his pride.

"It's okay to show off at home on weekdays, why are you so indefinite in front of the four princes, be careful that your father will scold you again if he finds out."

Lian Qingliu smiled helplessly and scratched his nose dotingly.

Qingcheng stuck out his tongue and grimaced, pulling Lian Qingliu's arm to please him, "It's just the three of us here, big brother, you just don't say no, as for the four princes", he paused and looked at the man standing by the lotus pond, smiling treacherously, "The fourth prince, you have a lot of adults, presumably there is no leisure to blame the villain for a crime of disrespect, right?" ”

Feng Guixie hooked the corners of his lips, his eyes closed slightly, and he spat warmly for a while.

"Naturally, this prince has no leisure to waste on the villain."

The two of them said "villain" one by one, but they were two natures, Lian Qingcheng saw him riding a donkey downhill and slandered himself as a shameless child, and pressed himself with the identity of the prince, gritting his silver teeth and making a bad attack, so he grabbed Lian Qingliu's arm and pinched and kneaded it, but he couldn't blame this elegant big brother for enduring the pain.

"Lian Shizi, I suddenly remembered that there are still some things waiting to be dealt with in the palace, so I will leave."

Feng Guixie watched Lian Qingcheng vent but remained silent, until Lian Qingliu's face turned pale due to pain, he spoke in time, and the moment he turned away, the corners of his mouth pursed a beautiful arc.

"Congratulations to the four princes".

Lian Qingliu bowed down according to the head of the "shameless child", and after seeing the phoenix return to evil and go away, he couldn't wait to pull out his arm from his claws, rolled up his sleeves, looked at the red marks on it, and finally just shook his head helplessly.

"You, this temper doesn't know how to be restrained, and sooner or later something big will happen."

"What big thing can happen, besides, even if something happens, isn't there still a big brother and you and dad blocking it for me?"

Lian Qingcheng was full of confidence, and jumped into the stone pavilion and sat down.

Lian Qingliu looked at his back, thinking about Fang Cai's words all the time in his mind, and was stunned for a while, muttering as if no one was around.

"Now there is a big brother, but in the future, if you are older and have someone you like, what will you do at that time?"

"Third Young Master, Lord Wang, please come to the study."

The housekeeper Long Bo stood at the entrance of the lotus garden with his chin bowed, Lian Qingcheng was a little depressed and put down the pear that he had just bitten, when he passed by Lian Qingliu, he saw that he was still thinking about something, he grinned mischievously and shouted, Lian Qingliu came back to his senses and smiled without being frightened.

"Daddy told you, go quickly."

Lian Qingcheng was bored with himself, pouted and walked out of the lotus garden quickly, changed his naughtiness, and followed behind Long Bo obediently.

Long Bozhi is a special storage zài in the entire Lian Wangfu, the eldest brother and his own martial arts are taught by him, compared to his father, he is actually more afraid of the majestic Long Bo at this moment, thinking of the sins he suffered as a child, even Qingcheng couldn't help but complain, the sky is pitiful, he is like a fake daughter, his father has been pampered since he was a child, but Long Bo, but he has not beaten her with a whip.

Gently pushed open the door of the study, Lian Qingcheng walked in, and Lian Chucheng sat on the sandalwood chair tiredly.

"Daddy".

She screamed softly, Lian Chucheng slowly opened her eyes, and said with a loving smile: "Cheng'er, you sit here, Dad has something to say to you." ”

She sat down in response, but even Chu Cheng suddenly fell silent, as if she had encountered some trouble, and she didn't talk about it for a long time.

Lian Qingcheng thought about it carefully, and asked tentatively: "What Dad wants to say, but it is related to the four princes?" ”

Lian Chu Cheng was stunned, stared at her for a long time before sighing and nodded, he always knew that this child was extraordinary, but it was a pity that he was born in his daughter's body, as this child grew bigger and bigger, his heart became more and more anxious, every time he looked at this face that grew more and more beautiful, he couldn't help but wonder if the decision to hide her true identity from the outside world was right, if the truth was revealed one day, even the palace would be guilty of deceiving the upper and lower capital crimes, but he felt that this was too unfair to Cheng'er, she had the right to marry, But because of that thought, I am afraid that I will be sad in this life.

"The biological mother of the four princes is the princess Ronghua of the previous dynasty, when she was given a marriage promise to the current saint, the two of them also respected each other after marriage, Qin Se and Ming, half a year later the saint plotted an uprising, because of the mediocrity and cruelty of the former monarch, this uprising was responded to by the whole country, the previous dynasty was quickly overthrown, the saint ascended the throne, changed the name of the country to Dachang, when the father was named the general for the founding of the country to guard the frontier, I didn't expect that soon the news that Princess Ronghua was forced to die in the Jinluan Palace, your mother was the princess's personal maid, the two are like sisters, The princess was not married before the decision to give us two marriage, when the bad news spread to the frontier, your mother was pregnant at that time, the physique was already weak, and excessive sorrow, and finally survived to the day of childbirth, after giving birth to you, he died of a blood collapse, with the princess's blood, before you were born, your mother said to me, if this fetus is a daughter, this life must not marry you into the emperor's family, what she was concerned about before her death, in addition to your lifelong events, is the child left by Princess Ronghua in the world. ”

"The Four Princes?"

Lian Qingcheng flashed his eyes, but he didn't expect that there would be such a relationship between them.

"Now the emperor's body is not as good as before, although there are many heirs under the knees, but there are very few of them, although the four princes were raised by the queen, but they have been suppressed for many years, the queen has a prince, and his brother is the prime minister of the dynasty Liu Muxian, obviously I don't want the prince to have too many obstacles on the road to unification, so he will raise the four princes back then, and his heart can be seen. And the six princes have been crowned kings at a young age, since childhood with the emperor to learn the way of the prince, behind the assistance of his grandfather Nian Taishi, in recent years has been with the prince and a faction, the court is now divided into two factions with the prince and the six princes, Dad can see that the fourth prince is a person with great ambitions, not only because he has royal blood in his body, but also because he is the son of Princess Ronghua, but in the past two years he has been walking on thin ice in the palace, and the young prince has already had the heart to eradicate, and the queen is turning a blind eye to this, Daddy doesn't want to go against your mother's last wishes, so"

Lian Chucheng paused when he said this, he knew that Lian Qingcheng had understood what he meant.

"Cheng'er knows, the parents of the body, the mother's last wish, Cheng'er is to do his best to complete it, if the fourth prince has the heart to win the heir, I will definitely help him."
