The most powerful eunuch in the Fourth Prince's Mansion Liu Yan is Gonggong Laisu. Father-in-law Su is almost fifty years old this year, and he used to be Liu Yan's biological mother, but later Liu Yan's biological mother Xia Guiren died of dystocia, and Father-in-law Su has been taking care of Liu Yan. In addition to Lai Su's father-in-law, there is also a grandmother, Mama Yang. This Mama Yang used to be the eldest maid of Xia Guiren, and after Xia Guiren died, Mama Yang took care of Liu Yan with her father-in-law who came to Su.

Mama Yang is different from Father-in-law Su, she is a big palace maid, she can leave the palace when she comes to age, there were two big palace maids in Xia Guiren that year, and the other one was transferred to another place soon after Xia Guiren died, but Mama Yang did not leave, and then she came to the age of being able to leave the palace, and Mama Yang still did not go. In this way, she became a grandmother from a palace maid.

Liu Yan has a lot of respect for Father-in-law Su and Mama Yang. In fact, Liu Yan also has a wet nurse, Xu. After this Xu family nursed Liu Yan for a few years, seeing that Liu Yan had no biological mother and was not liked by the emperor, he found a way to go. Back then, Mama Yang was very angry about this matter, but when she came to Su's father-in-law, she persuaded her, so she gave up.

Liu Yan began to be very attached to the wet nurse, and after Xu left, Liu Yan was very sad, but when he came to Su Gonggong to persuade Mama Yang, he was inadvertent heard by Liu Yan, and Liu Yan, who was still a child, suddenly understood. He is just a child without a mother, although he has a father, but he is the same as not, except for the festival when he can take a look from afar, Liu Yan has never drunk his father's words. From that time on, Liu Yan's palace became more and more deserted, and there were fewer and fewer palace maids and eunuchs. Liu Yan's personality has also become more and more cold. Never like other children. The sensible one is distressing.

For this point, Mama Yang and Father-in-law Lai Su were secretly worried, but fortunately, Liu Yan soon reached the age when it was time to study. The princes of this dynasty studied, and those who were favored were generally specially assigned by the emperor to several ministers or great Confucians for special guidance. For example, the prince had a prince and a prince very early, and there were several princes, all of whom taught the prince. There are also three princes. is the emperor's favorite prince, and the emperor has already found several great Confucians to teach. The rest of the princes, such as the second prince. The four princes and the five princes are all studying in Taixue.

In fact. In the previous dynasty, Emperor Guanglie decided that the children of the royal family and the princes, regardless of generation, regardless of whether they were high or low, should go to Taixue to study. But a few generations later, the current situation has been formed, the favored prince has a special teaching minister, and the unfavored still goes to Taixue to study.

This dynasty continued the habits of the previous dynasty. In this way, Liu Yan also went to Taixue to study. The best thing about Liu Yan going to Taixue was that he met a few friends. With the company of these friends, Liu Yan's personality is much more cheerful. Although he still looks cold, he will smile. It's going to be fun, and Grandpa Su and Mama Yang finally put their minds at ease.

Taixue was the highest institution of learning in the Great Chu Dynasty. The students here vary in size. There are small ones, those who have just started to be enlightened, and there are those who are preparing for scientific examinations. The identities of the students are also different, and there are princes. There are also children of noble families, as well as ordinary people. Among them, the prince can enter directly without taking an exam, and the children of the nobles have to pass the guò exam to enter just like the common people.

So the student status here may not be very noble, but the IQ is very high.

Zhao Chongyi is such a person. Zhao Chongyi is the second son of Zhongyigong, but he is a concubine. Zhao Chongyi's mother-in-law is the Bai family, who was born in a big family. is Wen Hui's mother's cousin. This Zhao Bai is very powerful, very bad to Zhao Chongyi, often squeezing out Zhao Chongyi's mother and son, later, Zhao Chongyi's biological mother died, and Zhao Chongyi also became a child without a mother. But he is luckier than Liu Yan, he has a father who loves him very much, so Zhao Chongyi did not grow into a cold character like Liu Yan, but a sunny boy.

Although he was taken care of by his father, because his father had to lead the troops outside all the year round, Zhongyi Gong took Zhao Chongyi to Taixue, but fortunately, Zhao Chongyi was very capable and was admitted at once. In this way, Zhao Chongyi and Liu Yan became friends.

In addition to Zhao Chongyi, Liu Yan also has a friend, Liu Jingyuan. Liu Jingyuan was born as a commoner, and his family was a small landowner in the capital. Since my father was admitted to Xiucai, he has taken the imperial examination many times, and he has repeatedly failed the exam, so he has not taken the exam, and he has guarded two shops at home, and a small village outside the city has lived a small rich life.

Liu Jingyuan's family is very warm, his father is kind and filial, his mother is virtuous and gentle, and he has no aunts and concubines. Therefore, Liu Yan and Zhao Chongyi like to go to Liu's house to eat the most. At first, Liu's father was very frightened, after all, one was a prince and the other was a young master of the loyal and righteous family, but later, when they came more, they treated them as their own sons and nephews and cared for them. This point is often opposed by Liu Jingyuan, who always thinks that his friends are coming to the door to take away his father's and mother's love. Especially Liu Yan, who looks too demonic, immediately fascinated all the women above and below Liu's father, including the old mother who does needlework.

Liu Yan and Zhao Chongyi chose to ignore Liu Jingyuan's opposition, or go to Liu's house every once in a while. Father-in-law Su and Mama Yang both like Liu Yan to go to Liu's house, because in Liu's house, Liu Yan has a hearty smile.

The three of them have been friends since they entered school at the age of five, and now they have been classmates for ten years, and their feelings surpass that of their biological brothers. Regarding Liu Yan's marriage, Zhao Chongyi and Liu Jingyuan both applauded.

At that time, Liu Yan came out of the palace and returned to his house, and his two friends were already waiting there anxiously, which made Liu Yan's heart warm. Zhao Chongyi, who was impatient, asked first: "How is it?" Meddlesome? Bad? ”

Liu Jingzhi looked like an old god was there and said, "I guess, does Chen Guifei want to recognize you as a righteous son?" You're too old, aren't you? ”

Liu Yan still looked like an iceberg and said: "I only have one mother, and I won't recognize the second person as my mother." ”

Zhao Chongyi touched his nose and said, "Of course, so do I." Don't talk about this, so Koyanagi guessed wrong? ”

Liu Yan said: "It can't be considered a wrong guess. ”

At this moment, Liu Jingyuan was also confused.

Liu Yan said with an awkward expression: "It's not that I recognize me as a righteous son, but that I want to recognize her as an aunt." ”

"Auntie?" Liu Jingyuan and Zhao Chongyi's eyes widened in disbelief.

Liu Yan said: "She wants to marry her niece to me. And told me that if you want to support me to ascend to the throne, the Chen family will fully support me. This was agreed upon by the patriarch of the Chen clan. ”

Zhao Chongyi gasped: "Fourth, your luck is here, how can there be such a good thing?" The patriarch of the Chen clan? ”

As the son of Zhongyigong, he understands the power of the Chen clan patriarch better than Liu Jingyuan.

Liu Jingyuan had already calmed down from his initial surprise and said, "The noble concubine will not help you in vain, there must be conditions, what conditions?" ”

Liu Yan's expression was even more awkward: "There are only two conditions, the first one can be said now, that is, to ensure the glory and wealth of her daughter Princess Lichuan in the future, the latter one?" ”

Zhao Chongyi hurriedly asked: "What is the latter one?" ”

Liu Yan frowned and said, "The latter one she wants me to promise can't say until she doesn't succeed." ”

"Huh?" At this moment, Zhao Chongyi and Liu Jingyuan were dumbfounded, no wonder Liu Yan had this expression. Zhao Chongyi didn't give up and said: "Can't even we say it? ”

Liu Yan said: "Yes, but I can sue you sù that I am very willing to this condition, so I directly agreed, and swore with the concubine Niangniang." ”

"High-five?" Liu Jingyuan and Zhao Chongyi were surprised again, the dignified concubine, this is one of Liu Yan's nominal mothers, she actually high-fived and swore with Liu Yan, which shows how eager the concubine is for Liu Yan to help her do this, thinking of this, the two of them are even more curious. But knowing that Liu Yan is a very principled person, he can't ask at this time.

Zhao Chongyi said: "Chen Guifei has no prince, whichever prince she supports to ascend the throne, that prince will ensure her daughter's glory and wealth." In fact, even if she did not participate in the battle for the throne, her daughter Princess Lichuan is the daughter of the noble concubine, the emperor's favorite princess, the sister of the future emperor, and married to the Jinghai Marquis's family, as long as she does not rebel, she will definitely enjoy the glory and wealth of her children and grandchildren for a lifetime. Why would she take the risk to fight for a slot? You must know that if she doesn't succeed, she will become a thorn in the side of the new emperor, and at that time, Princess Lichuan's future will be affected. What made her take the risk? ”

Liu Jingyuan thought for a moment and asked, "Is it for the future of the Chen family, or does she want to be the queen mother?" ”

After hearing this, Liu Yan smiled bitterly and said, "You must not have thought of what the concubine Niangniang promised me?" She said that if she can succeed, as long as I help her do that thing, she will unconditionally support my new policy, and if she needs to be in charge, she will be the queen mother, and if she needs to retire, she will leave home to guard the imperial mausoleum. ”

"What? Guarding the Imperial Mausoleum? ”

At this moment, Liu Jingyuan and Zhao Chongyi were shocked. Liu Jingyuan said: "What is it that can make the concubine so crazy, regardless of her daughter's future, and even give up the throne of the queen mother to guard the imperial mausoleum, that is the most honorable position for women in the world, the seat that all harem women dream of, and even the queen dreams of." ”

Liu Yan didn't speak, but his eyes were cold.

Zhao Chongyi said: "Forget it, since you can't say it, don't care about this, let's talk about who you want to marry?" I know the Chen family, there are many girls of the right age? By the way, with your identity, that girl is preparing to be a queen in the future, so she is naturally a concubine, who is it? ”

Liu Yan frowned and said, "Chen Wenfeng, the eldest daughter of Chen Yuanfeng, the boss of the Chen family." “

At this moment, Zhao Chongyi was surprised: "This Chen Wenfeng is very famous in the capital, because of his beautiful appearance, he is one of the top ten beauties in the capital." But she is famous not because she is the daughter of the Chen family, but because she is the granddaughter of the Wang family, what does the concubine mean? Isn't she fighting with the queen now? If our alliance is formed, won't the biggest enemy be the crown prince? Isn't it the Wang family? What does this mean? ”

Liu Yan's brows furrowed even more.
