For the rest of the time, Concubine Lian looked sullen. Li Weiyang saw it in his eyes, but as if he couldn't see it, he didn't ask more questions at all, as if he was not interested at all.

Yuan Lie is extremely smart, he saw Li Weiyang's eyes drooping slightly, and he knew that the other party must be plotting something in his heart, but he just became more and more attentive, and ordered people to hurry down and change another batch of dancing girls to perform. But no matter how good the atmosphere in this elegant room is, and how wonderful the performances of the dancers are, Concubine Lian is always a depressed and unhappy look.

Leaving the banquet and returning to the carriage, Zhao Yue served two teas, Li Weiyang took a sip, and raised his eyes to see that Leng Lian was just holding the teacup and didn't know what she was thinking. Li Weiyang smiled: "You have been depressed since just now, but you don't know what the reason is?" ”

Leng Lian didn't expect the other party to suddenly speak, she was startled, raised her head to look at her and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I think of some things in the past and feel a little emotional." ”

Li Weiyang suddenly didn't realize the other party's mind: "There is nothing in the world, and mediocre people disturb themselves." I thought you saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's beautiful demeanor and accidentally moved his heart! ”

Li Weiyang's words did not have a trace of ridicule, but Leng Lian was shocked when he heard it. She stared at the other party in surprise for a long time without speaking, her beautiful eyes showed a look of surprise, and after a long time, her expression slowly eased, and she reluctantly smiled and said: "Jia'er, don't make fun of me, I have been married, and I have already given birth to a child, but I am just a half-old, how dare I think about His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

She said this, but Li Weiyang smiled lightly, is there such a beautiful half-old in the world? If Leng Lian really didn't think about it, why didn't she look sullen just now. If she was like a widow who was bewitched by someone and immediately became angry or immediately rejected when she mentioned this topic, it just means that she was unmoved, and now she is trying her best to restrain her inner feelings, pretending not to care, but unexpectedly, her eyes that are about to move have betrayed a qiē.

Li Weiyang leisurely held the teacup and half leaned on the cushion behind him, and said with a warm smile: "Leng Lian, you and I have been friends for many years, what is there to say in front of me?" ”

Leng Lian lowered her eyes, she was thinking, Li Weiyang was a very smart person, her actions were in the other party's calculations every step of the way, and without her support, she would not have been able to gain a firm foothold in the palace so quickly. But now? She is no longer the county lord of the past, but the eldest lady of the Qi State Mansion. Even if she helped herself, would she dare to accept it? There is nothing in this world that does not have to pay a price, can you afford it? Thinking of this, she smiled and said: "Mingren doesn't say secret words in front of me, I know very well what the gesture you have made in front of me these days means, and my actions just now also showed you my thoughts, do you still need to say it?" ”

A smart person is a smart person, Li Weiyang smiled lightly, if it was someone else, she might really have to work hard, but Leng Lian is different after all, she does not hide her ambition and vanity, such a woman is much stronger than those who are coquettish. What's wrong with liking wealth, why be ashamed to admit it? Indeed, there are very few women in this world who can resist a bright future. The dignity enjoyed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Yuexi is much better than being a concubine of the Great Calendar, Leng Lian really knows how to choose, and she has enough courage and confidence.

Li Weiyang gently put the teacup on the small table next to him, and then said lightly: "Since you have admitted your intentions, I won't beat around the corner, I can help you, but ......" Before she finished speaking, Leng Lian had already widened a pair of beautiful eyes, and looked at Li Weiyang quietly: "It's just that you have the conditions, don't you?" ”

Sure enough, there is no need to go around in circles, and the other party will know what you are talking about when you say a word. Li Weiyang's smile became more beautiful, and she said in a brisk tone: "There is one thing that I am the same as you, that is, I don't believe in fate, so you and I can talk about it together!" There is nothing in this world that does not need to pay a price, don't you already know this Leng Lian? ”

Leng Lian said: "I'm not afraid of what the price is!" Since this world doesn't give me a way to go, I will carve out a path by myself, I don't believe that I have paid so much, and in the end there is not even a little result! "For Leng Lian, she did betray Li Weiyang for glory and wealth, but so what? In the eyes of people like them, friends are originally used to take advantage of them, and this person kicks her away when he has no use value for her, but as long as they have a common goal and sit down happily to have a cup of tea, aren't they friends again? Leng Lian believes that she is like this, and so is Li Weiyang, they are both typical utilitarians.

Li Weiyang really smiled: "It seems that you are very confident in approaching the crown prince." ”

Leng Lian smiled: "I have lived in the palace for so long, and I don't have other skills, but I still have some confidence in looking at people." The prince's eyes when he looked at me just now were clearly moving, I had seen too many of these eyes and was numb, but wasn't this the idea you played? "Li Weiyang always thinks that people dare not think that if someone else sends a concubine to the prince of Yuexi, it will be a fantasy.

Li Weiyang stared at the other party with clear eyes: "Yes, I see that the prince's appearance is indeed very attractive to you, but it's a pity that you lack an innocent background." He can't contain a concubine of the Great Calendar Emperor under any circumstances, do you say? ”

Leng Lian's face turned slightly pale, and she knew that what Li Weiyang said was right. Even if the prince fell in love with her at first sight, even if she had infinite confidence that she could capture the prince's heart, she had no way to hide her identity. Mo said that she used to be the imperial concubine of Dali, even if she was just the wife of an ordinary man, I am afraid that the prince would not accept it lightly, because it would damage the reputation of the other party. As soon as Li Weiyang's words came out, the atmosphere froze for a while.

Zhao Yue looked at this scene in surprise, she didn't expect that her young lady would actually have this idea. How ridiculous it is to send Leng Lian to get close to the crown prince! There are so many beauties in the world, why did Miss choose Leng Lian, not to mention that she had ever been married! Heng Zhu is just a widow......

Li Weiyang just looked at Leng Lian, and said with a relaxed expression: "If you want to hide your past identity, no one in this world can help you, except me!" ”

Leng Lian's heart moved, and a glimmer of brilliance lit up in her eyes: "Yes, but you should also know very well that the people who sent me to the Guo family behind the scenes, they also know my identity!" ”

Li Weiyang smiled: "You can rest assured of this." As long as you have enough skills to make the prince obey you, when the truth is finally revealed, they will know what it is, it's too late! ”

Leng Lian looked at Li Weiyang, and she didn't understand what this woman was thinking in her heart. She was quiet, as if she had weighed Li Weiyang's suggestion, and then said tentatively: "I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and your Guogong Mansion are old enemies, and you should support King Jing's lineage, so why do you suddenly want me to get close to the prince?" What kind of idea is it, do you want me to be a spy?! ”

Li Weiyang smiled: "Leng Lian, don't be mistaken, it's not that I asked you to get close to the prince, but that you now take the initiative to get close to the prince, I just want to help you for the sake of the past!" ”

Leng Lian looked at Li Weiyang, of course she understood that what the other party said was false, but she couldn't say anything to refute it, knowing that this was a trap, but it was also a trap full of temptation and glittering, if you don't go well, you will be crushed, but what if you go well? It is also a brilliant future. She's been taking risks all her life, so why not this time?

Li Weiyang looked at her expression, but just smiled faintly: "This matter is not in a hurry, you still have some time to think it through." When you figure it out, it's not too late to come back to me. ”

Leng Lian didn't speak for a long time, and after returning to Guo's mansion, she declined Princess Ali's invitation, turned around and went back to the house and closed the door. Ali said curiously, "Jia'er, what's wrong with her?" It's so upset to come back from outside. ”

Li Weiyang looked at the closed door, and his smile was quite meaningful: "Maybe she has something important to think about, so let's not disturb others." ”

Ali looked at Li Weiyang suspiciously, and then at the closed door, becoming more and more incomprehensible.

Three days later, late one night, Li Weiyang had just put down his book and was about to go to bed, when he suddenly heard a lotus root outside reporting: "Miss, Miss Leng asks to see you." ”

Li Weiyang's eyebrows were slightly raised, but he smiled on his face: "Let her in." ”

After a while, he saw Zhao Yue leading Leng Lian over. Under the candlelight, Leng Lian seemed to have been carefully dressed, with a pair of beautiful eyes shining brightly, and her face was dyed with a faint rouge, which was more charming than her previous complexion. Li Weiyang looked at Yiqiē into his eyes: "It's so late, do you have something to do with me?" ”

Leng Lian's eyes lit up, and she gritted her teeth: "What you said three days ago still counts?" ”

The corners of Li Weiyang's lips were slightly upturned, his cheeks were white and ruddy, and his eyes were shining: "Naturally, it counts, I said I would give you time to think about it, and now that you have come here, it can be seen that you have thought it through." ”

Leng Lian sat down beside her, turned her head sideways and said to Zhao Yue: "What you are going to say next, only me and your master can hear it." ”

Zhao Yue glanced at Li Weiyang, nodded to her, and Zhao Yue immediately retreated, she went to guard outside the door, not letting anyone approach this room.

Leng Lian's eyes deepened, looked at Li Weiyang and said, "I've already thought about your mention carefully, but I also have something to say." This time, someone did deliberately ask me to get close to you, and try to enter the Qi State Mansion, but I don't know what the other party is going to do next. "I understand it, you don't want to get any usable information from me or let me testify against that person.

Li Weiyang bowed his head, and his dark eyes melted into a cold color: "It's okay, I've already guessed this." ”

Leng Lian's heart jumped, and she looked straight at Li Weiyang and said, "It turns out that you have known for a long time, but you have been deliberately pretending to know nothing. ”

Li Weiyang's eyebrows smiled shallowly: "You and I are good at this, why blame me?" ”

Don't want to take advantage of each other when dealing with each other, Leng Lian sighed and said, "I don't have any deal with the person behind me. It's just that he captured Xu'er and used it to threaten me, so I had to obey him and approach you according to his orders. Actually, those things about Tuoba Yu are true, I didn't lie to you, I just hid Xu'er's whereabouts from you. ”

Li Weiyang said lightly: "Is Tuoba Xu really in the hands of the other party?" ”

Leng Lian looked at her quietly, with a slight self-deprecation in her eyes: "Do you think I'm such a stupid woman?" When I took Xu'er out of Kyoto, I had already quietly hidden Xu'er in a farmhouse with my henchmen, and replaced it with a child who had already been prepared and was about the same age as Xu'er and hurried on the road. I bought that kid early in the morning, and I know that if anyone knows Xu'er's identity, they will definitely want to use him, because at the moment he is the only best chess piece that can be used against Tuoba Yu, how could I let him be in danger! ”

It's not to protect Tuoba Xu, but to keep it in your hands...... Li Weiyang saw through the other party's thoughts, and nodded slightly, Leng Lian is really Leng Lian, so many years of harem experience have made her more and more capable and shrewd, and she has deceived others.

But I heard Leng Lian continue: "So when the other party found me, I had already transferred Xu'er's bag, and the child they took away had no blood relationship with me. But when the other party mentions you, I can't help but be moved, as long as I can get close to you, I can get rid of the life of fugitive, and prosperity and wealth are just around the corner, isn't it? ”

Li Weiyang's eyes were quiet, and his attitude was very serious: "What you said is right, it is a very good idea to reach Yuexi safely with the other party's hand, and it is just a plan." ”

Leng Lian had a deep calculation in his eyes: "Although I don't know what the identity of the other party is, I know that they must want to use me to deal with you, at first I hid everything and didn't reveal it to you, just looking for an opportunity to get rid of such an identity." Because I know that if I don't agree to them, these people will not let me live, and only when I enter the Guo Mansion can I be safe. ”

Li Weiyang's slender thick eyelashes flashed slightly, and Huang Hui smiled: "Have you changed your mind now?" ”

Leng Lian's heart was slightly cold, but her face was extremely firm: "Yes, I changed my mind!" I may be able to find peace from you for a while, but it is impossible to restore the glory and wealth of the past! I had to find another backer. ”

yes! In the end, she had to admit that she had to rely on Li Weiyang to climb up step by step! Otherwise, she will still be watched, and she will not have the slightest chance!

Li Weiyang's expression was indifferent: "The prince is your next target." ”

Leng Lian nodded, and said confidently: "As long as I am given a suitable identity, I can easily approach him and hold him firmly in my hands." Isn't that a good thing for you? As far as I know, the crown prince has always had a very unpleasant quarrel with King Jing, and he has always targeted the Duke of Qi, if I am by his side, maybe I can help you. Now you put forward your own conditions and see if I can agree. ”

Li Weiyang's smile was very ordinary: "My conditions are very simple, you enter the prince's mansion to become his new love, and successfully separate the relationship between the prince and Empress Pei, this is the only requirement I have for you." ”

Leng Lian raised her eyebrows and said, "It's really that simple?" ”

Li Weiyang said as a matter of course: "It's as simple as that! I don't need you to go to the Prince's Mansion to be a spy, nor do you need to take the initiative to help me, and even after entering the Prince's Mansion, you don't have to contact me, and after you meet, you can treat me as if you don't know me, only the Prince and Empress Pei, you have to do this! ”

Leng Lian smiled lightly, if she successfully entered the prince's mansion, she would naturally have to find ways to help the prince win the throne, how could she help Li Weiyang? This is a paradox. Li Weiyang must have thought that his identity was in her hands, and he must be the first to look forward to her, but he didn't want to think that as long as he succeeded in holding the prince's Yiqiē firmly in his hands, sooner or later he would not have to be constrained by her. Thinking like this in her heart, Leng Lian smiled on her face: "But there are still those people who sent me to Yuexi, they know my identity!" ”

Li Weiyang just said calmly: "Yes, they know your identity, but the prince may not know, there is a clear difference between the two." ”

Leng Lianhu looked at Li Weiyang suspiciously, and she subconsciously said, "How can you guarantee that the prince doesn't know?" ”

Li Weiyang said: "I can assure you that the prince doesn't know anything at this stage, and it depends on your ability to react to him in the future." After all, how to capture a man's heart is what you are best at. ”

Li Weiyang knew that this prince had many strange habits, such as that his Donggong housekeeper had a very beautiful wife. So the prince took the woman for himself, and of course he told the public that she was sick and dead. However, the people of the East Palace were ashamed and angry, and finally committed suicide by throwing themselves into the lake in the garden of the Prince's Mansion, and Yuan Lie had already sent someone to find out the secret. Although the prince did a good job in dealing with the aftermath, there is no impermeable wall in the world, since he can do it to a married woman. Then Leng Lian's past may not be anything to him. Thinking of this, Li Weiyang continued: "Now that we have reached an agreement, we can act soon. ”

Leng Lian frowned and said, "What are you going to do?" ”

Li Weiyang's voice was light: "The things sent to the door may not be of interest to others, and it is better to be clever than to capture them." ”

Leng Lian looked at Li Weiyang, and felt more and more as if she had stepped into the other party's trap. Be! How could a smart person like Li Weiyang make a loss-making deal? I'm afraid there must be some secret behind what she did, but what is it? Did she send herself to the prince's side just to drive a wedge between Empress Pei and the prince? In this way, she can let others do it, there are many beauties in the world, and she is not alone. What is the reason why she takes a fancy to herself?

Leng Lian thought about it, and her heart became more and more worried, but Li Weiyang's smile was calm and gentle in the candlelight, which made her feel terrified, but she couldn't help suppressing all her fear. Life can't have a chance at any time, she doesn't want to go to the palace to be the powerless concubine, she must seize the opportunity given by Li Weiyang, no matter what is ahead, as long as she gets to the prince, she can return to the center of power! Give it a go! When Leng Lian agreed to Li Weiyang with this gambler's mood, she didn't know what kind of game she had stepped into.

Sending Leng Lian away, Li Weiyang sighed lightly. Zhao Yue said in a low voice: "Miss, the slave really doesn't understand, why did you choose Leng Lian?" You must know that her identity is not ordinary...... Maybe there's going to be a big problem in the future! ”

Li Weiyang smiled: "Her identity may be a trouble now, but what about the future?" You have to take a long-term view. ”

According to Li Weiyang's arrangement, Leng Lian will accompany her to visit the temples, wine shops, teahouses, and bookstores in the capital every day in the future. Every time she was veiled on her face, others only knew that it was Mrs. Guo's niece, but they didn't know what she looked like. At this time, the prince's people have been secretly watching, but there are too many guards in the Qi State Mansion to do it lightly, and when it comes to the fifth day, the opportunity finally comes.

Li Weiyang and King Xu somehow left Leng Lian and left her alone in a jewelry store, when Leng Lian was carefully looking through the hairpin in her hand with great interest, the boss stepped forward and said: "This young lady has a good eye, this is the most fashionable style today." ”

Leng Lian smiled faintly: "Is there only these goods?" I see that the gold is not very good. ”

The boss smiled with a smile on his face: "If Miss thinks these are not good, please sit in the private room inside, and I will order someone to find some good goods to show you." "Dafan gold shop, treat the valuable guests always invite them to the private room, and then the shopkeeper personally sends these jewelry to them to play with. This is the old practice, Leng Lian nodded without doubt, and entered the private room surrounded by the maidservants.

The boss hurriedly glanced at the person behind him and said in a low voice, "Prepare for action." ”

Not long after Leng Lian entered the private room, she just drank two sips of tea, but she only felt dizzy and dizzy, and her heart was shocked, and then it was dark in front of her, and the whole person lost consciousness. The maidservant girl next to her hurriedly came to inspect, but unexpectedly, several guards suddenly poured out of the private room and took them down in one fell swoop......

Not long after, Li Weiyang returned to the gold shop with an entourage full of pastries, looked around but saw no trace of Leng Lian, and couldn't help but wonder: "Shopkeeper, where is my friend?" ”

The shopkeeper showed a surprised look on his face: "But ask the young lady with the veil on her face just now, she went out to the east!" ”

Li Weiyang was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to say to himself: "I said that I asked her to wait for me here, why did she leave first, she is not familiar with this!" Saying this, Yuan Lie smiled on the side and said: "She is walking, let's ride a horse, the speed will definitely be faster than her, let's hurry up and chase it, don't let her get lost alone." ”

Li Weiyang smiled: "It's not one person, there are two maidservants." As she said this, she had already left with Yuan Lie, obviously thinking that Leng Lian was impatient to leave on her own.

The boss looked at their backs, but sneered.

said that Leng Lian was imprisoned in the courtyard of the Prince's Mansion and spent the longest night in her life. She was left alone in a gorgeous room, and when she woke up, she felt that she had been drugged. She was taken aback, and then subconsciously widened her eyes and watched the movements around her vigilantly, but unfortunately there was no one until the east was white. Just then, the door suddenly opened! She suddenly showed a look of surprise, and when she saw only four fourteen or fifteen-year-old maidservants, she put her mind at ease, and the maidservants said respectfully: "Please Miss dress up, Your Highness is invited." ”

Leng Lian saw that she was indeed not very presentable, so she reluctantly dressed up, and the four maidservants led the way, and then wore flowers and willows all the way, and entered the room. Leng Lian was taken to a private room, and the maidservants retreated. Then she saw a man in fine clothes sitting upright, and the man was very handsome, and his body shone with a dazzling light.

Leng Lian was stunned, the man in front of her was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince she had seen in the restaurant that day. The most famous beautiful man in Dadu is King Xu Yuanlie, and although the prince is not as good as him, he is also suave. The prince raised his eyes and looked at the other party lightly. As soon as Leng Lian's eyes made contact with the prince, her heart trembled for no reason, and the prince motioned for her to sit down, smiling: "Yesterday's incident was that my people were too reckless, and I am deeply ashamed, and I hope Miss Haihan!" ”

His impeccable sincerity, coupled with that handsome face, made Leng Lian's anger disappear all at once. She spoke, "What is your purpose in taking me captive here?" ”

The prince said: "It's just to invite the young lady to be a guest." His tone was extremely flat, without the slightest hint of apology.

Leng Lian secretly thought in her heart that Li Weiyang was really good, but she said angrily on her face: "Are you trying to detain me? ”

The prince said leisurely: "It's not to detain you, it's just to ask the young lady to stay here for a few days." ”

Leng Lian's face seemed to show some panic and said, "Why do you want to stay for no reason?" What do you want to keep me here? I am a woman of good family, if you have any scheme, I will bite my tongue and kill myself, and I will become a corpse in front of you! ”

The prince looked at her in surprise and said, "I naturally won't force it, what does the young lady think I am, how could I use such a despicable method to win a woman's heart?" ”

Leng Lian knew the truth of wanting to be captured, and couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "Your status is noble, but I am rude, naturally not in your eyes, I hope you can have mercy and let me go back!" ”

The prince laughed loudly: "Since you are here, I will not let you go again!" After saying that, he had already gotten up and left Leng Lian alone in the house, "I will wait until the day when the young lady is willing!" ”

At this time, in front of the Guogong Mansion, Li Weiyang got out of the carriage, and the masked woman in white followed her into the door. The prince sneered: "It's just that I'm pretending to be embarrassed for fear of damaging my reputation!" Ignore it! ”

Two days later, Leng Lian saw the prince again, but he was unusual, his eyes were red, and he seemed to be very sad. Leng Lian couldn't help asking, "What's on Your Highness's mind?" How so? ”

The prince smiled, and there was indescribable tiredness and boredom in his smile.

Leng Lian has a strange sensitivity and delicacy, and she feels that the prince must have a deep heart.

Sure enough, the prince said excitedly: "Why is there such a ruthless mother in this world, you sue me?" Why would she prefer to have such a close relationship with someone who is neither male nor female, rather than trust her son? I'm her own flesh and blood. But whether it is for me, for Anguo, or for Lin'an, she has no love at all. I knew I wasn't perfect, but I tried my best, and I would do whatever it took to please her. I tried my best to secure the position of this prince, but how did she treat me? Growing up, all she said to me was three words, why are you so stupid! Why didn't I do anything I told you? And the last sentence is, get out! Do you say that such a person is really my mother? Sometimes, I wonder if she has a heart. Even I wondered if I was her son. I even fantasized that maybe I was just born to a certain palace maid and raised by her, but I was indeed her own son, although she didn't think I was very important! ”

Leng Lian looked at the other party, she could almost feel the prince's warm breathing, Leng Lian subconsciously turned her face away.

But the prince held her face, looked at her painfully, and said, "Such a beautiful face, such a soft voice, and such a unique beauty are really rare in the world. The first time I saw you, I felt that you were different from those other women, could you sue me, why did she treat me like this? ”

At this time, the prince was not the high-minded appearance in front of everyone. It's not the aggressive look in front of Li Weiyang, he looks very sad and pessimistic. Leng Lian sighed, the crown prince is noble, and what awaits him is endless glory and wealth. Why is he so sad?

The prince suddenly let go of his hand and took a step back: "I know, you can't give me an answer, there is no one in this world who can give me an answer!" In the eyes of the queen mother, if everything is useless, it will be an abandoned child, and it will be eliminated soon! Me too! One day, when my son gets in her way, the choice she has to make is to eradicate me! When he said this, he gradually calmed down and muttered, "She is so real, so cold, who can save me?" ”

Leng Lian looked at each other, and was simply surprised. The prince suddenly left tears, such a handsome and beautiful man was so painful in front of her, Leng Lian's heart couldn't help but stir, she didn't expect that the proud son of heaven would be so painful because he was not loved by his mother, she subconsciously hugged the other party's body, hugged his head, and a smile flashed on her face.

Unconsciously, the prince fell asleep in Leng Lian's arms, Leng Lian looked at the sleeping prince, and only felt that this thing had become very ridiculous.

When the prince woke up and found himself held in Leng Lian's arms like a child, he couldn't help but show embarrassment, he quickly broke free and regained his usual arrogant and indifferent face. In fact, he caught Leng Lian at first, just because of her beautiful appearance. But then he felt that there was something faintly fascinating about her, but he couldn't tell what it was, maybe it was a spiritual attraction. He had never tasted this feeling in any woman.

The Duke of Qi Mansion, watching Zhao Yue remove the white veil under his head to reveal his original true face, Yuan Lie smiled and said to Li Weiyang: "I have already sent someone to investigate, and the prince really imprisoned Leng Lian in a separate courtyard on the outskirts of Dadu. ”

Li Weiyang took a sip of tea before he said leisurely: "It seems that the prince really likes her." ”

Yuan Lie had a hint of doubt in his eyes, and said: "Although Leng Lian is extremely beautiful, the prince has seen countless beauties over the years, why do you bet that he will take a fancy to Leng Lian?" ”

Li Weiyang said lightly: "It's not a strange thing that the prince likes beauties, but what kind of beauty can attract him for a long time?" If you think about Leng Lian's identity, she is not an ordinary woman. ”

Yuan Lie thought carefully before saying, "She is the concubine of the first emperor of the Great Calendar, and she is also the mother of Tuoba Xu. ”

Li Weiyang smiled: "Yes, he is Tuoba Xu's mother, this is the most important point!" The prince has never been disliked by Empress Pei, and he is incompatible with Ying Chu. In recent days, he has been isolated from the center of power, and he is naturally very sad and lonely. And Leng Lian ...... Tuoba Xu is not by her side, and she has lost the protection of her husband, and she has lost all her glory and wealth, and she urgently needs someone to calm her state of mind. ”

Yuan Lie listened to Li Weiyang's ridiculous theory, and he could hardly believe it. He shook his head, puzzled and puzzled, "I don't understand. ”

That's the difference between a man and a woman, who always focuses only on the result. Li Weiyang was not in a hurry, and slowly fell: "Do you remember the last time you once showed me a piece of information?" ”

Yuan Lie held his chin and blinked his eyes: "I have shown you a lot of information, which one are you talking about?" ”

Li Weiyang said: "A piece of information about the prince, have you forgotten it?" ”

Yuan Lie thought carefully for a moment, and suddenly said, "What you said is ......"

Li Weiyang nodded: "It's good that you haven't forgotten!" At that time, you gave me a copy of the Prince's whereabouts in one day. You said that after he got up every day, he first went to the study to review the text, and then drank tea and had breakfast. I remember very well that at sunrise he would have a bowl of deer antler velvet, at dawn he would have a cup of ginseng, and at noon he would have lunch. It's nothing to look out for, but between breakfast and lunch, he chooses a special tonic – human milk. Your intelligence also mentions that every month the Prince's Mansion will recruit lactating women into the Mansion, so that after the Imperial Doctor's examination, they will choose those who are in good health, give them big fish and meat every day, and then provide fresh human milk. ”

Yuan Lie frowned and said: "I naturally remember this, at that time I still laughed at him for not weaning, but so what, it's just a way to cultivate one's body." ”

Li Weiyang sneered: "As far as the medical theory of traditional Chinese medicine is concerned, ginseng and deer antler velvet are both hot supplements, and it is enough to eat them for many years, and he doesn't have to touch human milk at all." Because if these nutrients cannot be excreted normally, they will only become the source of all poisons, which will affect his health, but he still persists in this habit. I went to investigate, in the past three years, because of fever, the prince has stopped the tonic of mushroom and ginseng several times, but he has continued to drink human milk and continue to recruit nursing mothers. This can only explain one reason, he has a special hobby for this kind of thing, or his mother-love plot is very strict...... It's a pity that I think Queen Pei can't satisfy his thoughts. ”

Hearing Li Weiyang say this, he simply deduced a very absurd conclusion. Yuan Lie couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "What do you mean—can Concubine Lian satisfy his thoughts?" ”

Li Weiyang smiled: "I'm just trying, and I'm not sure." After all, it's not so easy to find a woman who is beautiful, knowledgeable, and mature, and this woman has to be very smart and can't show her feet, isn't it even more difficult? There's a good candidate in front of you, so why not take advantage of it? ”

Yuan Lie couldn't help but sigh softly: "But this is too risky, Leng Lian knows a lot of things." ”

Li Weiyang smiled slightly: "What does she know?" ”

Yuan Lie was stunned for a moment, thought about the whole thing carefully, and then smiled: "It's the same!" Your handles are nothing compared to hers. ”

A hint of ridicule flashed in Li Weiyang's eyes: "No, she will one day sue the prince of Yiqiē, even if it is to cut off my control over her!" But the premise is that she must be able to firmly control the prince in the palm of her hand, so now she will redouble her efforts and curry favor with the prince at any cost. ”

Yuan Lie looked at her and finally understood: "I'm afraid that the person who sent Leng Lian to the Qi State Mansion will regret it, he definitely wouldn't have thought that you would use her in turn." ”

Li Weiyang didn't answer this question, but smiled and said, "Don't talk about this, are you ready for the birthday gift you prepared for Your Majesty?" His Majesty's birthday feast is coming soon. ”

Yuan Lie pursed his lips, but he didn't care: "It's already good if I'm willing to go, that old man still dares to make a request!" ”

Li Weiyang smiled, I am afraid that only Yuan Lie dares to call the emperor an old man so blatantly in this world.

In the corridor of the palace, Ying Chu took the secret report in his hand and took a look, Li Weiyang took a woman covered with white gauze and went back to the house together...... In this way, everything is going on in Shun lì, and Leng Lian is at least already in the Guo family, which is enough! Guo family, Li Weiyang, what's the point of not regrouping? If you don't do it, you have to be ruthless and fast, so that you will be caught off guard, and your family will be ruined before you come to your senses, which is interesting! Thinking of this, the face under his silver mask revealed a hint of hideousness.

On the day of His Majesty's birthday feast, the edge of the eastern sky had just revealed the white of the fish's belly, and the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace were already busy nervously. The eunuchs at the gate of the palace began to sweep the ground late at night, meticulously until the green bricks were clean. Hundreds of palace guards lined up in two columns all the way to the gate of Yonghe Palace, standing on both sides, like nails, with a solemn and slightly solemn atmosphere on their faces.

Outside the palace gate, the civil and military officials and the women of the imperial court who participated in the birthday feast were also waiting. Seven or eight hundred people gathered in the three ministries, nine secretaries and thirteen divisions, as well as officials from other provinces who came to Beijing to report on their work, all of them wearing brightly colored court clothes, gathered together in groups of three or five. The ladies are whispering, compared to the solemnity in front of the gate of Yonghe Palace, here is a different atmosphere. Suddenly, everyone only heard the sound of bells and drums in the depths of the palace, and the bells and drums flew over the heavy Qionglou Yuyu, crossed the tall and colorful high walls, and went straight out of the palace gate. After hearing this, the officials immediately fell silent and entered the inner palace in a neat queue with the ladies.

The chief eunuch walked out of the door with the moon in his hand and said in a loud voice: "There is a holy decree, and the hundred officials kneel to receive it." ”

Hundreds of officials in the square had already knelt down, and at this time they all bowed down. The chief eunuch said in a loud voice: "With the six ministries and nine secretaries, as well as officials and court ladies from other provinces above the third grade in the capital, they will enter the palace from the left and right doors to congratulate, and they will be here!" ”

So the civil and military officials in front of the palace gate and the women of the court were divided into two columns and entered the left and right doors respectively, and entered the hall in order led by the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. The emperor calmly walked towards the dragon chair, walked to the seat and stopped to stand, his eyes scanned around, and then sat down on the wide dragon chair. Everyone prostrated to the ground, and the whole hall was silent, except for the sound of breathing and the slight movement of clothes. The Emperor sat on the throne with an impatient look on his face, and at this time the Empress and all the concubines had to dress up and salute the Emperor.

Li Weiyang stood in the middle of the crowd and looked at the emperor, and couldn't help but think in his heart, although this feeling of being high above is the envy of everyone, but standing at the highest place and watching everyone bow down to him, will it produce a feeling of being overwhelmed by the cold? She subconsciously glanced at Yuan Lie's back in front of her, the emperor always wanted to give Yuan Lie what he thought was the best, but for Yuan Lie, is it really the best choice to be the emperor? The prince is competing for deer, fighting openly and secretly, scheming and deceitful, one conspiracy trap after another, can he stand out, even if he is the emperor, everyone is staring at this position, one wrong step is like facing the abyss, will it be too much to pay......

The emperor smiled slightly and said, "Everyone get up, please take your seats." ”

When everyone heard this, they got up and sat down one by one according to the rules.

Next to Li Weiyang sat Princess Ali as usual, and she was already a frequent visitor to the Yuexi court. Although the grassland is not peaceful, Princess Ali's preservation also happens to show a gesture of the Yuexi royal family. Seeing this kind of scene, she couldn't help but stick out her tongue and said, "Oh, I didn't expect such a big scene this time, it is much grander than the previous banquet in the palace!" ”

Li Weiyang smiled and said: "This time is His Majesty's birthday, which is naturally different from the past. ”

Princess Ali nodded, but said thoughtfully: "In the past, the birthday of the Prairie Lord was not so grand, and it was just to slaughter a hundred cattle and sheep to celebrate. So many people knelt down and saluted him, so majestic, no wonder everyone wanted to be this emperor! ”

This voice is not loud, but it is very easy to provoke right and wrong. Li Weiyang glanced at her without a trace, Princess Ali reacted in time, and said embarrassedly: "I know it's inappropriate, don't say such things in the future." ”

Li Weiyang nodded, and his eyes fell on the prince not far away.

The prince swept away the depressed color of the previous days, and actually looked radiant and radiant. Li Weiyang smiled slightly, it seems that Leng Lian already knows how to please the prince. She thought so, her clear eyes were quiet, and the corners of her lips were pouting with a solemn and soft smile, but with a hint of sarcasm.

Princess Ali was afraid that Li Weiyang would be angry because of her loss of words just now, so she asked in a low voice: "Why haven't I seen Miss Leng in the past few days, every time I go to her maidservant, she says that she is unwell and rests in the room...... What was wrong with her? ”

Li Weiyang turned his head, his eyes were like deep water, cold and quiet, and he smiled on his face: "She's just a little cold, and she will be fine in two days." Ali was startled and said, "Wind cold? Why not ask for a doctor! Li Weiyang said calmly: "This disease will be cured at the right time, and there is no need to ask for a doctor." ”

Princess Ali was surprised, the queen on the high position was sitting idlely, like a flourishing peony, beautiful but not demonic, graceful and luxurious, she said in a calm tone: "Your Majesty, the concubine has prepared a birthday gift for you." ”

The emperor smiled faintly and said, "The queen is so hearty, so take it out." ”

The emperor really ordered someone to take out the embroidered picture of mountains and rivers to show the emperor, and the emperor took a look at it, and said thoughtfully: "Just from the embroidery skills, you know that it is a rare treasure!" The eunuch turned the mountains and rivers upside down, and everyone couldn't help but be shocked, the reverse side of the mountains and rivers turned out to be a landscape map, which was an extremely excellent double-sided embroidery! Everyone is amazed, if the ordinary pattern to embroider the double-sided is not too difficult, but this mountain and river map is such a delicate thing, embroiderers should use how much thought!

The queen smiled slightly and said: "Naturally, it is a treasure, which was embroidered by the concubine Miss Wang for His Majesty." ”

Hearing Empress Pei mention her name, Wang Zijin hurriedly got up and saluted: "Don't dare, this embroidery was painted by Niangniang herself, and I just painted a gourd in the same way." ”

When the emperor heard this, he smiled and said, "Miss Wang is really Lan Xinhui!" He glanced at Wang Zijin, who was standing under His Royal Highness, and felt that the other party's appearance was outstanding, flawless, and his plain face revealed a charm that shocked the soul, so that people could hardly turn their eyes, and Li Weiyang, who was sitting silently on the other side, was wearing a light green Su embroidered dress, which was as beautiful as a lotus, but his eyes were quiet and his smile was soft.

These two people have their own merits, and they are both extremely outstanding women, but after all, they have to distinguish a high and low!
