"A lot of times, the trees want to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop. Since you don't have that position in mind, forget it, just because I never mentioned it to you. ”

"Unintentional." Li Junran raised his eyes and glanced at Chu Xiaoyao, who was hesitant, and it took a long time to hear him ask, "Father...... Preferred Candidate for Prince...... Isn't it...... Nine Emperor Brothers? ”

"Why do you think that?"

"Isn't it? I thought I guessed right. Chu Xiaoyao changed to a more comfortable position, leaned on the soft cushions, and said with a wry smile, "My father has only a few sons, the third emperor brother is cowardly, and the fourth emperor brother was cut off by his father last year and demoted to a commoner." Now there are only the Great Emperor Brothers, the Fifth Emperor Brothers, and the Nine Emperor Brothers. On the bright side, the eldest brother is most likely to inherit the throne, but if the father really wanted to pass on the throne to the eldest emperor, he would have made the eldest brother the crown prince a long time ago, and he would not favor the fifth emperor brother over the years. Since it is not the eldest emperor brother or the fifth emperor brother, the remaining candidates ...... "Isn't there only the Nine Emperor Brothers and the Tenth Emperor Brothers left."

Li Junran smiled, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart that this royal baby is really not simpler than the other.

"Xiaoyao, this is the right candidate, it doesn't mean that he will really be able to get to that position in the end. Even if you ascend the throne, you may not be able to sit firmly. Whether it's your eldest brother or your fifth emperor brother, it's not a fuel-efficient lamp. ”

Li Junran didn't have the ability to read minds, and she didn't ask her fat mouse to probe people's privacy, so naturally she didn't know what Chu Xiaoyao really thought in her heart. If Li Junran was not moved by that question, it would obviously be a lie.

As a prince. Even if you are frail and sickly since you were born prematurely, you are qualified to fight for it, so why should you be excluded? It's just that he has been sick for many years, and the medicine is almost always in his hand, and Chu Xiaoyao, who can only read books to pass the time since he was a child, understood one thing very early. There will always be only one throne, and most of the brothers are doomed to be doomed. So instead of breaking the blood flow of the whole head, it is better to be in a safe corner. Who made him not have a healthy body. Compared with the brothers who died young, it is actually not easy for him to stumble and live to adulthood.

But now. The man told him. It's not a big problem for him to recuperate. Does that mean he can fight too? Unintentionally, you really don't think about the Nine Emperor Brothers, that's why you ......

"But I always felt it. This emperor is not a good errand either. You don't think it's a smart choice. ”

"Unintentional. You ......"

"Me? I'm just your unscrupulous old man messing with your royal brothers. And it's just a knife from the alliance of those powerful families. After using it, I don't know if I will be able to die properly. Li Junran joked, and then stood up slowly. Okay, okay, let's not talk about that. I will teach you a set of health boxing, you insist on practicing for half an hour every day, and then with this bottle of medicine, there is no guarantee of a long life, at least it is not a problem to live seventy or eighty. ”

The wing room connected to the flower room is not small, and Li Junran is used as a small study to read and rest on weekdays. Moving the case table a little bit cleared up enough empty space for Li Junran to teach Chu Xiaoyao the so-called health boxing.

"No, no, the hands should be like this, raise and raise...... Tuck your belly and lift your chest......"

The time for the fight always flies by very quickly. After Chu Xiaoyao had dinner and supper at Li Junran's side, he inked for a long time before reluctantly returning to his palace.

Early the next morning, there was another uninvited guest in Huai'an Palace, the eldest granddaughter of Cheng Ge's hometown, and Cheng Yuyan, the eldest daughter of Cheng Qingye in the second room.

"Master, look ......"

"Flower Hall." Li Junran looked at the familiar Juanxiu font on the prayer post, was silent for a moment, and spoke.

"Whoa."

Li Junran knew that Cheng Yuyan had already met the cheap master Dr. Xu. It is precisely because the master and apprentice have met that the doubts that lingered in Cheng Yuyan's heart before, I believe that they are as smart as Cheng Yuyan, and they should have figured it out. So Cheng Yuyan would take the initiative to come to the door, Li Junran was not surprised at all, and even felt that the time was a little too late.

In the past few years, Li Qiliu has disappeared out of thin air, and the second room of the Li family has always claimed to the outside world that because of a serious illness, he followed his master Dr. Xu to a foreign country for treatment. If it weren't for the New Year's holidays to bring things to people, I am afraid that they would have been forgotten long ago. And back then, after Cheng Yuyan hesitated again and again and finally chose to do it, she also knew the rhetoric of the Li family's second room.

It is precisely because he knows that Li Junran has deliberately asked people to send things back to Lijiatun in the name of Li Qiliu in the name of the New Year during the New Year's festival in recent years. When disguised as Yin Wuxin, he always avoided Cheng Yuyan as much as possible. For Cheng Yuyao, a talented woman, she will more or less give some face.

In this way, the impact is really not small. You must know that the righteous sister of Huai'an Hou Yin Wuxin, the youngest daughter of the Li family's second room, Qiliu, sold herself to Cheng Fu for ten years to save Baozi's father and her own brother, and became a maid by Miss Cheng's side, which is already an open secret. Huai'anhou's attitude inevitably arouses suspicion that something happened to Yin Wuxin's little sister Qiliu when she was a slave in Cheng Mansion.

Even if the person concerned flatly denied that there was no such thing, and even faintly mentioned that Li Qiliu had been beaten by Cheng Yuyao's biological mother and third aunt, and almost lost his life, and then relied on the righteous rescue of Miss Cheng Mansion to pick up a small life, and he could not reverse Cheng Yuyao like Cheng Yuyan in her previous life, becoming more popular than Miss Cheng every day.

Although, this is what Cheng Yuyan wants. Because only the higher you hold, the harder you fall. However, this matter is related to Huai'an Hou Yin Wuxin, Cheng Yuyan is not so comfortable in her heart, and even has some strange emotions.

Cheng Yuyan also paid special attention to the second room of the Li family, and watched coldly from the sidelines how the second room of the Li family prospered little by little. In the past few years, the second room of the Li family has changed so fast that it is unimaginable. Although there is no stupid girl, she is very lucky to have a high-ranking and powerful Hou Ye Yizi. After that, she gave birth to triplets smoothly, and she gave birth to a life and a farm. The eldest son, Li Qiliu's eldest brother Li Junyang, sang all the way, and was very successfully admitted to Xiucai, Juren and Jinshi, and the Tanhualang personally taken by Emperor Jingshun during the palace examination......

Now, I want to find trouble with the second room of the Li family. It's not that easy anymore. What's more, Cheng Zhang's is also too busy to take care of himself at this time. Although she successfully "gave birth" to her next son through false pregnancy, it made people scrap. And the naïve Miss Luo family, because she gave birth to Cheng Qingye's only son, successfully married into Cheng Mansion as a "flat wife". There is a tendency to compete with Cheng Zhang's court.

Cheng Yuyan is not without suspicions. The little junior sister who always had a sluggish expression and a slower reaction than others did not die, if she saw her own cheap master Dr. Xu, who had been looking for herbs outside, and let Cheng Yuyan further affirm that her suspicions were not wrong, then after seeing Li Junran herself, everything was silent.

"Courtiers Cheng Yuyan has seen Huai'an......" Cheng Yuyan, who saluted respectfully, raised her eyes and looked at the person in front of her without a trace. But I was surprised to see a more and more delicate smiling face. Suddenly, a wave of anger rushed up.

"You, you really didn't die." Cheng Yuyan almost gritted her teeth.

"Yes, this king is not dead yet, so I disappointed my senior sister." Li Junran smiled and pointed to the futon beside him. "Sit down."

"This king?" Cheng Yuyan looked around a little, and the room was all exquisitely furnished. Instantly understood what was going on. Worry lowered his voice and said, "Xiao, Xiaoqi, you." You are crazy? You are guilty of deceitful kings, yes, you want to connect the nine clans! ”

"Sit down, my eldest lady." Li Junran stretched out her hand and pulled Cheng Yuyan onto the futon, and then personally added a cup of kung fu tea for Cheng Yuyan, "Our senior sisters haven't sat down for a long time to chat." ”

"Aunt Luo......"

"Huh?"

Originally, Cheng Yuyan still had a lot of things to ask Li Junran, such as asking Li Junran if Aunt Luo's son was the bag she gave away, and whether Aunt Luo was the old lady Cheng in Kyoto who she escorted all the way. But when the words come to the mouth, what is the difference between asking and not asking? Since there is a way to avoid the guards of the Zhang family who are not weak in martial arts, there is naturally a way to steal the dragon and turn the phoenix. Speaking of which, I have to thank you, if it hadn't been for the bag, her father's only son would have really been wasted. It's a pity that this son still has little to do with his own mother after all.

"Thank you......"

"Thank me for what?" Li Junran picked up the small teacup and took a sip of tea, "Senior sister doesn't hate Junran, as long as she doesn't hate Junran." ”

"Junran?"

"'Rana Qi fragrant grass, fluttering smile and broken canopy'."

"Oh."

There was no movement in the room again, and it fell silent all at once. After a long time, Cheng Yuyan said faintly: "What right do I have to resent you?" I'm sorry for you after all......"

"Senior sister, have you ever thought about letting go?"

"Drop?" Cheng Yuyan narrowed her eyes and said angrily, "You want me to let go of my hatred?!" Let go of the blood and sweat of dozens of people in the Zhang family? ”

"But nothing has happened to the Zhang family now. There are many ways to get revenge. What is more envious, jealous and hateful than finding a satisfactory husband, a harmonious family, a loving husband and wife, and a full house of children and grandchildren? ”

Smart as Cheng Yuyan.

"So...... Do you give me extra face for my good second sister? Cheng Yuyan couldn't help but think of a news circulating among the official eunuchs, saying that King Huai'an was ugly and unsalted, but he was very arrogant. On weekdays, only a few thin noodles are given to the talented Yao girl in Cheng Ge's hometown. Yao Cai, who is just a concubine, is also favored by the princes.

"The road is chosen by yourself, and the bubbles on your feet are also walked out by yourself." Li Junran does not deny this.

"I ...... I see. ”

At the banquet of the courtiers on the 51st Chinese New Year's Eve of Invesco, the Inshun Emperor issued a holy decree to give the second daughter of the Ning Taishi family to the fifth prince Chu Qi as the princess of Qi, and the eldest granddaughter of Cheng Ge Lao and the eldest daughter of the second son Cheng Qingye family, Cheng Yuyan, to the sixth son of the emperor, Chu Xiaoyao, as the princess of Xiaoyao.

As soon as the decree was issued, the faces of all the people present were as if they had opened a dye shop, colorful, and each one looked better than the other. Of all the people present, who didn't know that Ning Taishi was His Royal Highness the Great Prince. Ning Taishi's family has two daughters and a son, and the eldest daughter is married to the Xiao family. The eldest daughter of the Xiao family entered the palace and gave birth to the eldest prince Chu Chen. The one sitting on the golden chair now actually gave marriage to the old daughter of Master Ning's family. To be honest, it's really bad enough.

However, the most surprising thing may be to give Cheng Yuyan to the King of Freedom.

Although Cheng Yuyan is the eldest granddaughter of Cheng Ge's hometown, the old son Cheng Qingye is not powerful, just an insignificant lifter. But Cheng Yuyan also has an additional identity, the granddaughter of the Zhang family of Wei Guogong, and she is also the only female baby in this generation. Cheng Yuyan's two uncles, one is an official and a second-rank general, who is responsible for guarding the southwest gate of the Tianqi Dynasty at this time, and the other has just been promoted to the secretary of the military department a few days ago. Cheng Yuyan, as the only daughter of the Zhang family's generation, although she is only a granddaughter, she is deeply liked by Wei Guogong.

Why did King Chu Qi of Qi refuse to marry the concubine, it was not waiting for this young lady of the Weiguo family to finish the rite of adulthood, and then ask Emperor Jingshun for marriage. Outcome......

gave Cheng Yuyan to the sixth prince Chu Xiaoyao, who had already been out, but the eldest prince Chen Wang Chuchen and the third prince An Wang Chuhuai had no opinion at all. Anyway, they are already adults, not to mention marrying a serious princess early, and even there are several side concubines. No one has a show, that's fair.

Merely...... The body bones that can be blown by a gust of wind can be blown by the sixth (sixth prince) and can spend candles in the cave room. Don't be in the arms of the delicate beauty, just smoke the horn wind and smoke it over. Almost all the eyes that looked at Chu Xiaoyao were a little gloating. (To be continued.) )
