Chapter 228: Appreciating the Light
"This king can't say that he appreciates the light when he looks at Jiu'er."
Chu Yongnian put down his arm with a crutch and added a glass of wine to himself, "I have to say that the prince is willing to give this king a reward, so that this king can see it." β
"Yuning doesn't understand."
Chu Yuewan deliberately wanted to trap him, and ate dumplings halfway through.
Chu Yongnian smiled, took a sip of the wine glass, and almost squirted out.
Chu Yuewan was very surprised to see the unpredictable expression on his face: "Second Emperor Brother, you are wrong, it is white vinegar." β
Chu Yongnian pursed his lips and swallowed the mouthful of vinegar, maintaining his dignified demeanor and brushing his placket.
"Yu Ning don't learn from your prince brother, a mouth is a cold knife."
Chu Yongnian was a little worried.
The first moon smiled at night.
The second emperor brother doesn't look like he's going to rebel at all.
"Second Emperor Brother, you ......" Chu Yue was about to speak and stopped.
How do you say that? Don't rebel, don't seek power and usurp the throne, you will fail...... There is simply no way to say this.
If it is clearly said, the second emperor brother does not have this heart, then it is not deliberately blocked, if the second emperor brother has this heart, maybe he will kill himself and kill him? Hey, this dumpling is not poisonous.
Chu Yue counted the night, he had already eaten ten dumplings, if it was poisonous, he would have died a long time ago, it's okay, continue to eat.
Chu Yongnian waited with interest to listen to her continue, but she stopped halfway through her speech, which made Chu Yongnian feel a little unwilling.
"Well......" Chu Yuewan thought about it, bit the chopsticks and hesitated and struggled for a long time, and finally made up her mind.
Chu Yongnian saw that she was about to speak, so he hurriedly waited intently.
"Second Emperor Brother," Chu Yuewan is serious about eight books, "If you like the prince's brother, be brave enough to tell him." β
Chu Yongnian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he couldn't hold back his laughter, and the whole person was about to look up.
The early moon night made him smile a little embarrassed.
After all, she thought about it herself, and the complicated jump in the middle might be too abrupt.
"The second emperor brother has saved the prince's brother before, and the prince's brother liked you very much when he was a child."
Chu Yuewan hurriedly explained, "Later, the second emperor brother was messing with flowers and grass everywhere, also because he didn't like the second emperor's sister-in-law, right?" That's why I still like to stay with the prince's brother, so I often come to the East Palace. β
If you like the prince's brother, you won't rebel, right...... The last sentence of the first moon night is really indescribable.
Chu Yongnian laughed breathlessly, and it took a long time to hold his stomach and stop to catch his breath, and when he heard her talk about Xiao Yaohua, he became a little more serious.
"Yuning hopes that this king likes Jiu'er, and he hopes that this king will not go against him."
Chu Yongnian guessed her mind.
"The second emperor brother is so smart, Yuning doesn't even know what to say."
The early moon went down the slope in the evening.
Chu Yongnian shook his head.
Chu Yuewan knew that she was just a little bit of a chatter to him, but she still didn't know much about the world.
Therefore, the more naΓ―ve he is, the more likely he is to be listened to.
Innocence is her weapon.
Chu Yongnian's eyes always had a cunning essence, and Chu Yuewan didn't dare to look at him too much, as if every glance he had would see directly into the depths of his mind.
"Yuning."
Chu Yongnian said, "What did you dream about?" Chu Yuewan heard him mention this coldly, and swallowed his saliva to suppress the shock.
"Did you do something wrong for your brother?" Chu Yongnian then asked.
Chu Yuewan nodded resolutely.
Chu Yongnian's smile did not change, and he did not look surprised at all, and did not see her as a threat at all.
"Is my brother still alive later?" The beginning of the eternal years is calm.
Chu Yuewan shook his head.
Chu Yongnian blinked and frowned.
He seemed to believe it.
Chu Yuewan still remembers that the first time she dreamed back to her previous life and foresaw Prince Lu's death, but that time she didn't tell anyone that Prince Lu was killed, but just asked to see him, and unexpectedly caught up with Prince Lu's fake death and "resurrection", which was mistaken for a prophecy.
Later, when I dreamed of the past in Zhaohua Palace, I could also prevaricate the past with the dialogue of the Three Emperor Sisters and the Eight Emperor Sisters.
The second emperor brother had no reason to believe his words.
Chu Yongnian put aside the cup that had been stained with white vinegar, ordered someone to bring the wine over again, and poured himself a drink.
The servant next to him came over and added some sweet corn syrup to the early moon.
"It's useless for King Guangben to like your prince's brother."
Chu Yongnian suddenly said, "If he regards this king as a thorn in his side, this king must also find a way to protect himself, or ...... Xiao Yuning, will you protect me? After eating the dumplings in the early moon, he rinsed his mouth and picked up the corn syrup: "Yuning's strength is weak, can the second emperor brother rest assured that Yuning will come to protect it?" β
"Only your words can make the father and the crown prince think more."
Chu Yongnian said, "Even if you can persuade the great power teacher, in the whole world, who else is more powerful than our Xiao Yuning?" "The early moon blows the bowl in the evening: "It depends on whether the 'bribe' of the second emperor brother is enough." β
Chu Yongnian smiled: "The conditions for the Yuning talks are not a bad thing. β
As he spoke, he raised his glass, and the early moon raised the corn syrup, touching it very similarly.
"Why did the second emperor brother say that the crown prince brother regarded you as a thorn in his side?" The early moon asked knowingly.
Chu Yongnian hesitated.
"Is it because of the second emperor's sister-in-law?" The first moon will penetrate him later.
Chu Yongnian was surprised: "How much does Yu Ning know?" "Chuyuewan:" When the Queen Mother was still there, she told Yuning about the old things between the second emperor brother and the imperial sister-in-law. β
The Queen Mother naturally didn't say so much, and even what the Queen Mother said was completely biased from the facts, and now that the first moon is coming to think about it, most of the Queen Mother knew the truth of the matter early on, but she beautified it in front of her.
But in the early years, it sounded not so simple.
He suddenly felt that this was a bargaining chip that the Queen Mother deliberately gave to Chu Yuewan before she died.
"But you like her a lot."
Chu Yongnian turned around and tempted, "Your second sister-in-law." β
"The second sister-in-law is very good to me, why should I go against her?" Chu Yuewan asked, "She may have hurt you, Second Emperor Brother, but this is already an old thing, and it is only related to the two of you."
Maybe...... It's also related to the prince's brother. β
"So Yuning's condition is to let this king let go of Xiao Yaohua and give it to the crown prince to win that chance to 'live'?" Chu Yuewan did not directly deny it.
Chu Yongnian said like a joke: "Okay."
As long as Xiao Yaohua is willing to go with him, what kind of ethics is common, this king has never been a thing.
In the history books, there are not many who robbed daughters-in-law in all dynasties, occupied their father's concubines, and co-wives? "Xiao Yaohua represents the Xiao family, and it is impossible for her to remarry because of such a ridiculous thing.
What's more, the father and Concubine Xiao Xian are still there, and Chu Yuewan knows that this is a joke deliberately told to her.
"Yu Ning knows whether what he wants is Xiao Yaohua, or the background of the Xiao family?" Chu Yongnian asked, "If he wants the support of the Xiao family, he can choose another girl from the Xiao family, I believe that the mother concubine will be very happy to be this matchmaker, after all, climbing him, the Xiao family has benefits." β
"Second Emperor Brother, do you know why Brother Crown Prince has been refusing to accept concubines?"
"Isn't it because you're waiting for this king to give up Xiao Yaohua?" In the evening of the first moon, wipe the corn syrup on his lips with a handkerchief and sit upright.
"It's because he doesn't trust the person next to him."
She said.
Chu Yongnian twisted his wine glass.
"A smart person like the second emperor brother can't escape being calculated, the prince's brother has seen it with his own eyes, how can he trust the second emperor's sister-in-law anymore?" Chu Yuewan asked him rhetorically, "The relevance of the second imperial sister-in-law in this matter is not that the prince's brother wants her at all, but the prince's brother has seen your experience." β
"Then he's single for the rest of his life?" Chu Yongnian smiled lightly, "Impossible, he is the crown prince, he doesn't want a woman, he has to have it."
What's more, this king doesn't hate Xiao Yaohua so much, smart people have their own way of getting along with smart people, you don't understand it yet. β
"But the second imperial brother has been taking revenge on the imperial sister-in-law, right?"
"How so?"
The early moon night silently did not explain.
The side rooms and children full of courtyards, as well as the romantic rumors all over the capital, don't need to prove it anymore.
"Since it's not because of Xiao Yaohua, why did he get rid of me?" Chu Yongnian was surrounded by her.
"He didn't think about getting rid of you."
The early moon is late.
Chu Yongnian's expression was exaggerated, pretending to be suddenly realized.
"So you don't have to fight back to protect yourself."
Chu Yuewan reminded.
Chu Yongnian raised his glass and thanked her for the suggestion.
"Yuning is working so hard to keep this king out of trouble, could it be that the death of this king makes His Royal Highness the Crown Prince 'grief-stricken'?" Chu Yongnian emphasized with a bit of teasing.
