24. The Emperor (II)

Lu Xiwan listened to Zhen'er's gushing words, but the expression on his face was gloomy, that high emperor, whether it was in his previous life or in this life, there were always so many people who sought after him, even if he was an ugly monster, there would be women who pounced on him one after another, not to mention that he was still a beautiful man.

The current emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty is named Li Yan, is the seventh son of Zhou Xianzong, his biological mother is a concubine of Zhou Xianzong, who died shortly after giving birth to him, Li Yan is not outstanding among Zhou Xianzong's many sons, he is not as prominent as the prince's mother, nor as stunning as the five princes, very favored by Zhou Xianzong, but his luck is very good, the first prince Li Yu's biological mother is dedicated to the queen, Li Yu because he is a son-in-law, he was named the prince as soon as he was born, but unfortunately he was short-lived, he died of a strange disease before he was thirty years old, Even the only pair of children were taken away and disappeared, Zhou Xianzong was angry about this matter, but after a thorough investigation for a long time, he has not found the whereabouts of a pair of emperor's eldest grandsons.

After Li Yu died, Zhou Xianzong did not set up a prince again, but Li Zhe, the fifth prince who has always been very favored by him, has obviously become the most popular candidate, Li Zhe himself thinks so, and is completely ready to be the prince, but he was thought that Zhou Xianzong should overdose on pills and suddenly died violently, and what was written on the edict of succession turned out to be his inconspicuous seventh brother, and more than half of the courtiers supported this obscure seventh prince, Li Zhe was naturally unconvinced, and immediately rose up to seize the throne, But in the end, he was still tragic, not only was he beheaded by Li Yan and in front of the Xuanwu Gate, but even his wife and children were not spared, and they were all executed, and the means were ruthless and decisive, but he also suppressed the other unsatisfied princes and sat on the throne.

All those who have seen Li Yan will not associate him with his decisive deeds, he is like a humble gentleman, always gentle, hiding the cold-blooded ruthlessness inside very well, but when you are about to be confused by him, he shows his cold fangs.

Lu Yanwan didn't dare to say how much she knew Li Yan, she didn't know his identity when she first saw Li Yan, his humble and gentlemanly temperament really attracted her, but when she learned his identity, she didn't dare to think about it anymore, and a large part of all her suffering came from him, Emperor En was uncomfortable, if she understood this truth at the beginning, and was more cautious and calm, would the final outcome be different.

"Wanwan, what are you thinking, are you listening to me?" Zhen'er pushed Lu Yanwan again, pulled her back from her memories, and asked with some anger on her face.

"Listening, listening." Lu Yanwan smiled reluctantly and responded perfunctorily.

Zhen'er didn't pursue it, and continued to say to herself: "Originally, it was rumored in the teaching workshop, saying that the poems and poems had been favored by the emperor before, but I don't look like it now, the emperor seems to be more interested in Xiang Niangzi, and rewarded Xiang Niangzi with a lot of things, all of which are rare things that I have never seen, but Xiang Niangzi's attitude is a little cold, and she doesn't seem to care about those things, and her attitude towards the emperor is not as enthusiastic as other female envoys." ”

Lu Yan heard this, there was some confusion in her eyes, for Xiangjun, she actually didn't know much, in the last life when she first entered the workshop, Xiangjun was the first person in the Yichun Academy, Qin Qin was training them, she would often mention her, she was fourteen years old when she entered the workshop, it stands to reason that the workshop at this age is not accepted, but the workshop made the princess still take her in, before Xiangjun was not a lowly citizen, she was a famous talented woman in Kyoto, and everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting was not a problem, after entering the workshop, After studying with Qin Qin for another year, it was officially listed, with the original reputation, Xiangjun became popular almost as soon as it was listed, and entered the Yichun Courtyard without any suspense.

The year Lu Yan entered the workshop, Xiang Jun was twenty years old, which was considered an advanced age for female prostitutes, but three years later, Xiang Jun died of illness inexplicably, and everyone felt sorry for a generation of famous prostitutes who died like this, but as a person in the workshop, Lu Hui Wan knew some hidden secrets, Xiang Jun was not actually dead, but disappeared, and disappeared from the workshop inexplicably, no one knew where she went, and the workshop seemed to spend a lot of effort to find it, but nothing was found.

In the previous life, Lu Yanwan only regarded this incident as an anecdote, and even if she heard about it, she thought about it now, and felt that it was really a bit strange, what method did Xiangjun and a weak woman use to escape from the workshop, and how did she evade the pursuit of the workshop and even the imperial court, and where did she go after she left the workshop, Lu Yanwan faintly felt that if she figured out this, there might be many unexpected gains.

Zhen'er and Lu Yan talked about what they had seen and heard in the palace for nearly half an hour, and finally said that they were tired, they yawned again and again, wiped their bodies with hot water at will, and then lay down and fell asleep, but at this time, Lu Yan couldn't sleep, thinking too many things in her head, she suddenly felt that it seemed that everyone had secrets, and behind those secrets there were more things that she wanted to discover, she missed too much in the previous life, and now she has done it again, how much can she see through?

It's the first day of the Lunar New Year, the teaching workshop is busy again, the officials have been at home for a month, many of the anxious people can't help it, when it comes to the New Year, you can morally not accompany your family to busy the New Year, the posts are simply flocking, and the busy heads of the various institutes don't even have the kung fu to fight for the wind and be jealous.

Lu Qingqing, as a female envoy, naturally can't be idle, Si Qingqing because of this time into the palace table Xiàn good, the teaching workshop decided to still let her stay in Yichun Courtyard, now Si Qingqing's reputation among the officials is getting louder and louder, naturally there are many people to order her brand, unlike when she was still in Yunshao Courtyard before, now Si Qingqing's guests are mostly serious officials, the guests have been greatly improved, Si Qingqing's attitude has also warmed up a lot, after all, although these officials are not very big, But there is some power in his hands, and there are only advantages and no disadvantages in making more friends, and Si Qingqing is also an understanding person, although he is popular now, he also knows that he cannot be a prostitute for the rest of his life, while he is still young and beautiful, he naturally has to quickly find a "good person" and strive to go ashore as soon as possible, otherwise when he is old and decrepit, he will only cry.
