Six days before King Yu's wedding

On the side of Jingye Pond, King Ling accompanied Concubine Min to enjoy the scenery of early winter.

"Yun Rui, you haven't been in the palace for a few days, have you ever gone to ask Your Majesty for peace today?" Su embroidered Yuehua brocade shirt with gold silk brocade skirt, and the hair bun pinned with the East China Sea jade delicate step, the charm of Concubine Min is still vividly and vividly.

"If you go back to your mother's concubine, since your son has entered the palace, she will naturally go to greet his father first." King Ling supported Concubine Min, showing a rare gentleness, "But my father agreed and stopped talking to his sons." ”

"How?"

"It's not because of my fourth brother's marriage!" King Ling lowered his eyelids and curled the corners of his mouth, "Who in the whole capital doesn't know that the fourth brother is about to marry the princess of Xia Tang?" Isn't the whole palace busy with this marriage? The formation is really not lost at all to the prince's wedding! ”

"Be quiet! If someone with a heart hears it, won't it be to blame you for being dissatisfied? ”

"Could it be like the crown prince?"

"Shut up!" Concubine Min looked around angrily, "You really should learn from King Xiang and King Yu, learn to be calm, and learn to talk less and do more!" ”

"Erchen really can't learn the hypocrisy of the fifth brother's city government and the fourth brother! Obviously coveting the throne, you have to pretend to be an outsider! ”

"You can get the throne by clamoring like this? Do you want everyone to know how ambitious you are? The prince is indeed grounded, but he is still the prince after all; King Yu has been promoted to Prince Wuzhu from the previous disgrace; King Xiang is as pleasing as ever to His Majesty, what about you? Look at this harem again, Concubine Jingjia controls the harem, and even Nadu Xiurong has been promoted to a virtuous concubine on an equal footing with the palace! Yun Rui, if you want to survive in this capital and live better, the only thing we can do is for our mother and son to rely on each other! ”

"Erchen naturally knows, but he just can't swallow this breath! It is true that some courtiers in the court are on the side of the courtiers, but the courtiers in the army are powerless! ”

"King Yu's position in the army is unshakable for a while, but he has no connections in the court; However, King Xiang has some strength on both sides, so depending on the concubine, you should choose a side for the time being. ”

"Mother means to let her sons and one of them work together to bring down the other?"

Concubine Min nodded cautiously, King Ling's eyes rolled, should he choose King Yu or King Xiang?

Ahh King Xiang sneezed hard in the garden of his mansion, rubbed his nose, and stretched out his hand to signal the maid not to make a fuss. Princess Xiang walked out of the pavilion, put the cloak in her hand on King Xiang, and reminded: "Your Highness, it's winter, but you have to take care of yourself." King Xiang stretched out his hand and gently held the princess's hand that was still on his shoulder, and turned around and hugged the princess around her waist, "What the princess said is true!" ”

Princess Xiang's cheeks flushed slightly, and her eyes eagerly touched King Xiang, "Danyan only hopes to do everything to help His Highness." ”

"You've done enough!" King Xiang rubbed the princess's face with his fingertips, his tone was gentle, and his eyes were full of love, "I don't want to involve you in the affairs of the court, I said that I want to give you eternal love, I want to give you eternal status, I want to give you a glorious life, not to mention that we will have a little son." ”

King Xiang stroked the princess's slightly bulging lower abdomen, pretending to be childish and said to the princess's lower abdomen: "Little son, my father wants to give your mother a better life and a brighter future, you have to be obedient, don't bully your mother!" The naughty appearance amused the princess, and when she saw her smile, King Xiang also smiled.

"Your Royal Highness, it is already a blessing for the concubine to be with His Royal Highness in this life, Your Highness ......." King Xiang's finger was put between the princess's lips at the right time, and Wen Yan comforted: "We don't talk about the previous life, nor do we think about the afterlife, we only hold hands with you to live this life, with you, with our little son, even if it is thousands of miles away, it can't compare to your smile." ”

The princess's satisfaction was all on her face, and she buried her head in King Xiang's chest, imagining a bright future for them. King Xiang hugged the princess tightly and used his body to block the cold wind that blew from time to time, this warm picture moved all the viewers, but there was no slightest temperature in King Xiang's eyes, and some were just winter killings.

Five days before King Yu's wedding

On the lark platform, Xiao Yunxuan stood on tiptoe and looked out, others thought she was looking for something, but she knew in her heart that no matter how hard she tried, she could never look beyond the city wall covered with golden glazed tiles, let alone see the heroic figure. Although she knew very well that everything was in vain, she still couldn't help but want to come to the highest place in the harem every day to reverie for a while.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess" Xue Huan called timidly, she was afraid that she would disturb the princess's reverie, but it was not early, and after several hesitations, she asked cautiously: "Your Royal Highness the Princess, the hour is not early." ”

Xiao Yunxuan didn't turn around, she came to Skylark Terrace at this hour every day, she asked herself if the time control was still possible, if the time passed faster today, it should be because....... Because I think he's more, well, it must be like this!

Xiao Yunxuan nodded to herself, and couldn't help laughing, it was noon at the moment, the reason why Xuehuan felt that the hour was not early was because Her Royal Highness the princess had not eaten, and it was the warmest sunshine at this time, it poured out the brilliance around this bright woman, maybe it was her favorite goose yellow, today it was still a goose yellow, the brilliant thousand suns projected a rainbow through her eyes, in the imperial city full of red walls and green tiles, this goose yellow and the winter sun blended into one, Let everyone who sees her be stupid.

The most crazy person is standing next to the pine tree under the lark platform at the moment, since the last time he met Princess Yunxuan here, her face has been engraved into Yan Keran's mind, and he will inadvertently think of it every day, and finally one day he came to the lark platform again, and suddenly he looked up and saw her again! He didn't expect to see her again at all, he came completely casually, he didn't have any hope at all, but he still saw her, still the same goose yellow, standing high on the lark platform and looking into the distance. This is a gift from fate, this is fate beckoning to him!

In the next few days, Yan Keran came to the lark stage every day, whether she was on duty or not, and sure enough, every time she was on the lark platform! If one encounter is an accident, and two encounters are accidents, then the daily meeting is the thread of marriage that will pull each other in the dark! Yan Keran was already convinced of this, she he saw at this time every day was so beautiful, like a fairy in the Moon Palace, like a peony among thousands of flowers, and an eternal Luo Shen in his heart!

If only she could look down at herself? Every time, she looked into the distance the same, was he looking at that person? Is she so fond of that person? How nice it would be if that person were himself! Princess Yunxuan stretched her neck and looked at it for a long time, Yan Keran looked up for a long time, thinking that she would be at ease if she could look at her like this every day, but the conjecture in an instant made Yan Keran understand that even if she looked up like this for a lifetime, she would not be able to get her. Yan Keran took one last look at Yun Xuan affectionately, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and turned around fiercely, closed his eyes and slapped himself before resolutely leaving.

Xiao Yunxuan, who was on the Skylark Stage, didn't know that there was such a person who was looking forward to it every day like herself, and she couldn't feel the dilemma of love and righteousness from the Skylark Stage. His feet were sore, his neck was sore, and his body was tired, but his heart was satisfied, Xiao Yunxuan turned around and said with a bright face: "Go back to the palace!" ”

After Yun Xuan left, the maid who had been hiding nearby also quietly disappeared into the darkness and ran quickly to Qiluo Garden.

Four days before King Yu's wedding

Yanshan, Qingshan Academy

"The wedding of the four princes, although it is gratifying, but when I think that Princess Yu is the princess of the Tang Dynasty, this taste is like eating delicacies from the mountains and seas but only a pot of water!" Ye Kai held an artemisia grass in his mouth, leaned on the dining table and stroked his stomach, looking satisfied after being full of wine and food.

Yin Li persuaded: "Senior Brother Ye, it's not appropriate for you to say that, Xia Tang took the initiative to make peace with his relatives, which is the blessing of the people of the two countries." ”

"Hey, don't get involved in the well-being of the people of the two countries, I just think that Xia Tang is close at this time, and the motive is not pure!"

"It's true that the motives are not pure." Helian Ping put down his chopsticks, looked at Ye Kai with some approval, and then said: "My dynasty has recaptured Yinzhou, which has been occupied by the Tang Dynasty for many years, and uprooted the stakes that Xiliang planted in the territory of our dynasty, plus the battle to exterminate Hu a few days ago, anyone can see that today's Liang is not like yesterday, and it is reasonable to want to make friends." ”

"Hey! I said Old Helian, I really want you to stand on my side, I didn't expect to support it openly and secretly contradict! ”

"For a long time, marriage has been the most effective means to consolidate the relationship between the two countries, and if people send the princess to make peace, you will not accept it, this is not a clear refutation of the face of the Tang royal family. Let alone....... It's not your turn to comment on whether you deserve it or not, right? Chu Hanqian said sarcastically.

"You...... My good Hanqian, I'm not worthy of the princess, it's always okay to be worthy of you, right? Facing Ye Kai's rogue face, Chu Hanqian rolled her eyes, got up and pulled Yin Li out of the dining house.

"Hey, Hanqian!" Ye Kai was about to get up and chase after him, but Shen Ming, who had been silent on the side, stopped: "After so many years, I still don't understand Hanqian, you still sit down, so that she won't hate you even more." ”

"I really don't understand, how women in the world like you coldly, but they just ignore my fiery heart!" Ye Kai sat down unconvinced, only to hear the voice of Master Baishi behind him, "If the old man is a woman, he will definitely not choose a prodigal son like you!" ”

"Master! Master, be quiet, this ..... So many junior sisters are still eating! Ye Kai jumped up from his seat, lowered his voice and pleaded, to say that the only person in Qingshan Academy that Ye Kai didn't dare to offend was Master Baishi.

"Shen Ming, Helian, the old man is about to tell you about the wedding gifts of the four princes." The master ignored Ye Kai and sat opposite the two disciples. The two thought they were coming to consult them, but before the two could speak, the master continued: "I asked Fat Kui to prepare a few snacks for the four princes to send as a congratulatory gift." ”

"Master!" Ye Kai shouted, "Master, this is a royal wedding, even if you don't send gold and silver, good horses and Yunluo, this ...... These snacks are too cold! This spread out, so how do the people of Daliang think of our Qingshan Academy! ”

"Yes, Master, the disciple also thinks that just a few snacks are really a bit unreasonable!" Helian Ping was still on Ye Kai's side this time, after all, he felt that this congratulatory gift was too child's play.

After listening indifferently, the master turned his head and asked Shen Ming, "What do you think?" ”

"Master, what pastries should Fat Kui prepare?"

"How? Can't look down on my fat craft? Fat Kui walked out of the back kitchen with a white drive, and asked unconvinced with his hands on his hips: "If you want to talk about this white case craftsmanship, looking at the whole capital, I really don't believe that I can find a second one who can beat my fat kui!" ”

"Hey, we naturally know your craftsmanship, if this is an ordinary gift, it is naturally a gift, but a few days later it is the wedding of His Royal Highness King Yu, then it is obviously inappropriate, isn't it?" Ye Kai walked to Fat Kui's side and put his arm on his broad shoulders and explained, but Fat Kui was still unconvinced and said, "This is the master's decision!" ”

At this time, the remaining three people present looked at Master Baishi in surprise, wanting to get an exact answer from the master, but unexpectedly, the master stroked his goatee and nodded very affirmatively, for the reaction of these disciples, the master had already expected it, he slowly said: "The specific pastries have been discussed with Fat Kui, Chu is not in the academy, and the five of you will go to the palace with the old man at that time." ”
