On the big day, the princess's mansion was particularly lively, Yang Qiong was being pressed by a group of friends to pour wine, and when she heard a sound of "The emperor has arrived" outside, she hurriedly pushed away a bunch of wine glasses in front of her and hurried to pick up the car.

Cui Yi and Zhiying came hand in hand, and the civil and military officials in the courtyard knelt down to greet them, as if the old scene had reappeared, the brides were all the same, the groom was replaced by Zhai Rang to Yang Qiong, and the people who came to congratulate him also changed from Cui Jie to Cui Yi. Yang Qiong's eyes were red from drinking, and she said with a smile: "The emperor and Niangniang are here, if they are one step late, they will really be drunk by these guys." ”

"How do you know I'm not here to pour you wine?" Cui Yi laughed and hooked his fingers, and Cao Qian immediately lost no time in handing over a cup full of wine, "Come, drink!" ”

Yang Qiong wanted to cry without tears, and said with a smile: "This glass of wine is a little heart between the emperor and the palace, General Yang must drink it, but Sister Cheng of the palace begs for a favor from all the masters, please let General Yang go tonight." ”

As soon as she said this, the people present laughed one after another, and several people who were familiar with her teased Yang Qiong with words, making him red-faced, and he couldn't speak, just rubbing his neck and smirking.

Zhiying was still carrying a food box, and she didn't participate in drinking, so she went straight to visit Cheng Fengyi in the cave room, while Cui Yi stayed behind to drink with everyone, her eyes swept over the crowd, and she suddenly saw two strange figures.

One is the younger brother Cui Xiang, and the other is Zhong Yuanshan's eldest son Zhong Nian.

It was not surprising that the two of them were alone anywhere, but they knelt together, and after he announced that they were flat, they also sat down next to each other at the same table. When did their relationship become so good? Cui Yihu looked at him suspiciously, Cui Xiang noticed his gaze, and glanced over here, with some complicated taste in his eyes.

For a moment, Cui Yi felt that the eyes were very familiar, but he couldn't say where they were familiar, until he was invited to the table by a few cronies to sit down and drank two glasses of wine, he suddenly remembered that the way his brother looked at him today was exactly the same as the way he looked at Cui Jie.

Vigilance, vigilance, and a little bit of disgust, and dare not show it too obviously, but if you want to be calm, it seems that you can't do it - it is such an indescribable complex look.

Cui Xiang also wants to rebel? Cui Yi suddenly felt very funny, does this younger brother have the ability to do it, does he have to rely on the mountains, and he dares to think about rebelling? I'm afraid that if I let him be the emperor, he won't be able to do it? Of course, Cui Yi admits that he can't be considered a good emperor, if the eldest brother was not so aggressive at the beginning, he doesn't mind being an idle prince and helping his brother fight for a lifetime.

Drinking and drinking, the sky darkened, many people said goodbye one after another, Yang Qiong sent away the third wave of guests, and then returned to the table, I saw Zhong Nian and Cui Xiang coming over one after another, and thought that they were going back too, and was about to thank him, but saw that Zhong Nian didn't look at him, walked straight to the table, and saluted Cui Yi with a fist: "Your Majesty." ”

"Oh, Zhong Nian, come and sit down and drink." Cui Yi was on his head, his eyelids raised, and he greeted.

Zhong Nian did not sit down, but said: "With the joy of General Yang and the princess's wedding, Weichen has something to ask the emperor for permission." ”

Cao Qian asked with a smile: "Which girl does the eldest young master also fall in love with, and wants the emperor to marry?" ”

Cao Qian was originally a distant relative of Cui Yi's maternal uncle's family, and he was also a distant relative of Zhong Nian, but when he came to Cui Yi, he was just a poor and white young man.

But in Zhong Nian's eyes, he was still a broken relative with a humble background, so he didn't take him seriously at all, ignored him, and continued: "Weichen wants to ask the emperor to marry his sister. ”

A cold light appeared in Cui Yi's eyes, and then he covered it without a trace, pretending to smile: "Oh? Does Lu Wan have a favorite person? Which general is it? Let me guess, is it General Liu? Or General Chen? ”

Zhong Nian said: "Prince Jing has always been in love with his sister, and he has come to the door several times to propose marriage, and his father and mother have also agreed, hoping that the emperor will approve it." ”

As soon as the words fell, all the people at the table who were talking and laughing were dumbfounded, and they all looked at him with shocked eyes. Nian Jiaojiao was quick to talk, and asked, "Didn't Sister Zhong say that she wanted to marry the general?" ”

"When a man marries a woman, it has always been the order of the parents to match the words of the concubine, how can the children say half a word?" Zhong Nian didn't pretend to be a good color for the little girl, and there was a bit of contempt in his tone, "What's more, Prince Jing once had the grace of saving his life in Luhuan, and the two of them are cousins, so it's not very good to kiss each other?" ”

When he said this, Zhiying happened to come back from the backyard and stopped at the door where he was frightened by Cui Jie. History is always strikingly similar, and it is still a person who looks at each other, or she is the only one who can break the deadlock. "Second Uncle wants to give Sister Zhong to Huaiyou?" Zhiying stepped forward quickly, her eyes fell on Cui Xiang's face, the latter straightened her waist and didn't look at her, "Didn't you say before that anyone you want to marry will follow Sister Luhuan?" Why did you suddenly change your mind again? ”

It's not in vain that she sent someone to secretly watch her for more than a month, Cui Xiang really conspired with the Zhong family behind her back, the eldest brother in the northwest is dead but not stiff, and the younger brother in the family is ready to move, Cui Yi's throne is really dangerous.

Because she was the imperial concubine, Zhong Nian finally turned around and saluted: "Niangniang." ”

Zhiying walked to the table, at this time, the people who came to eat and drink had already smelled that something was wrong, and slipped away with their tails, and only Zhiying was in the front yard of the princess's mansion, and her voice was clear and bright: "Sister Lu Wan and I have shared hardships and hardships, and we are like sisters, and now someone wants to do things against her will, this palace will definitely protect her, you go back and tell the second uncle, if Lu Wan is willing, it will be fine, if she is unwilling, who dares to force her, it will be impossible to get along with this palace." ”

Zhong Nian seemed to know early on that she would not allow it, and he didn't answer when he heard this, but asked Cui Yi directly: "What does the emperor think?" ”

Zhiying sneered in his stomach, Zhongnian was really prepared, knowing that he couldn't fight with himself, so he had to use Cui Yi to pressure himself, this is if Cui Yi agrees to marry, tomorrow there will be rumors in the capital that their husband and wife are not harmonious, and if Cui Yi does not allow it, it is the only woman's order to obey - although he has always been a wife and slave, but now that he is the emperor, and listening to women everywhere, it is very easy to provoke the criticism of the courtiers, and it will also bring trouble to Zhiying.

Cui Yi obviously also sensed Zhong Nian's malice, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't answer with a gloomy face.

"Since the imperial concubine Niangniang wants to respect the meaning of the county lord, and it is not an overnight matter to talk about marriage, you might as well wait for tomorrow to invite Lord Zhong and the county lord to enter the palace together, and say it in front of the emperor and Niangniang, whether the county lord is willing, if he is willing, Niangniang is naturally not good at stopping it, if he is unwilling, and then the emperor decides, Lord Zhong thinks it is good?" At the juncture of the dilemma, Bailizan stood up to do peace.

Everyone looked at him in an instant as if they had seen Guanyin Bodhisattva who was saving the suffering - benefactor, if you don't say this, tonight will either be the emperor and queen turn against each other or the monarch and the minister will turn against each other, and if it is not good, it will evolve into bloodshed, and the good wedding night will be ruined.

Zhong Nian pondered for a moment and nodded: "Lord Baili is thoughtful, it is Weichen who is too reckless, and tomorrow Weichen will enter the palace with his sister to ask for a decree." ”

Zhong Nian knelt down and left, Cui Xiang also wanted to slip away, but was stopped by Cui Yi: "Huaiyou, you stop." ”

Cui Xiang turned around in fear, Cui Yi was disturbed by this matter, and the mood for drinking was gone, so he put down the cup and got up: "The Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, I will go back to the palace first, everyone is scattered, don't hinder the newcomers from entering the cave room." Huaiyu, you come with me. ”

The emperor had an order, so everyone naturally dispersed obediently, and Cui Xiang honestly followed his brother and sister-in-law back to the palace.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on?" Cui Yi sat down on the soft couch in the imperial study and asked coldly.

Zhiying went around to sit down opposite the low table, Cui Xiang stood in front of the two of them, his body swayed, Cui Yi shouted angrily: "Stand up straight!" Cui Xiang was taken aback, and then his face turned red, and he argued loudly: "Also, what else is there to say!" Brother likes Lu Huan, brother Huang, you don't know! The younger brother wants to marry her, and General Zhong also agreed, does the imperial brother think that the younger brother is not worthy of her? ”

This was originally said casually, but Cui Yi retorted: "Do you think you are worthy of her?" ”

Cui Xiang choked, and his face turned even redder.

"The boss is not a small person, the four bodies are not diligent and the grains are not distinguished, the reading is not a meridian unitary, and the riding and shooting is a mess, tell me yourself, which point are you worthy of her?" Cui Yi said angrily, obviously venting the anger he had just received towards him.

Cui Xiang's lips trembled a few times, and he argued even louder: "I, I'm the prince!" How can there be a woman in the world that I am not worthy! ”

Cui Yi sneered unceremoniously this time: "Lord Wang? What is a prince? It's just that you got the title because of your noble parents, if you remove the title of the prince, you're afraid that you are even worse than the children of ordinary people! ”

Cui Xiang was so mercilessly ridiculed by him, and his forehead burst into blue muscles, and when he saw it, he hurriedly came out to reconcile: "Don't say that, the emperor, Huaiyou is still young, and he will slowly become sensible in the future." ”

Who knew that Cui Xiang didn't appreciate it at all, but instead fought with him: "Parents are noble and noble!" It's better than those inferior! Brother Huang, don't you also rely on the nobility of your parents to sit on the throne now? ”

"Presumptuous!" Cui Yi instantly jumped like thunder like a powder keg that had been ignited, and kicked his brother when he raised his foot, Cui Xiang was lazy in martial arts, and before he could react, he kicked him and fell backwards, and his back hit the carved wooden railing, and the wooden fence burst and broke off.

"Your Majesty!" Zhiying was also stupid by the scene in front of him, Cui Yi's temper was indeed short-tempered, but he was slowly trained by himself over the years, and he has been much calmer, and the clinker was so excited by Cui Xiang that he actually lost his mind and kicked it away, looking at the situation in front of him, he was afraid that Cui Xiang's ribs would be kicked and broken by him.

Du Zhenquan and the little eunuchs outside the door heard the movement and hurriedly came in, and saw that the emperor's master was angry, and Prince Jing fell into a pile of sawdust, spitting blood from his mouth, and they were all stunned.

Zhiying hurriedly stepped forward to help Cui Xiang: "Huaiyou, how are you?" Tell the Imperial Doctor! Du Zhenquan, who didn't dare to squeak, hurriedly turned his head and ordered.

Cui Xiang covered his ribs with one hand, blood dripping from the corners of his mouth, a pair of eyes stared at him stubbornly, regardless of the pain, he still said: "The imperial brother doesn't want his brother to marry Lu Huan, isn't it that he has already fallen in love with her?" Otherwise, there are so many generals in the DPRK and China, why don't you see who Lu Huan likes to like? The royal brother already has a royal sister-in-law, and he still has to ...... Do you want to rob the woman your brother likes? ”

Cui Yi was about to be angry with him tonight, and wanted to step forward to make up for it twice, but fortunately, Zhiying hurriedly pounced on him and stopped him: "Your Majesty!" Can't fight anymore! Huaiyou is your own brother after all, even if there is a mistake, the mistake will not lead to death! ”

“…… If it weren't for the love that Concubine Duan had nurtured for many years, I would have broken your car! Cui Yi couldn't get angry, so he could only point at his younger brother viciously and scold.

Cui Xiang breathed shallowly and collapsed on the ground, but a hint of an intriguing smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
