27. Chapter 27

Immediately after someone lit the lantern, Ruoyun turned around and saw a small woman in a light yellow dress and a dark red cloak, walking out from behind the pillars of the corridor.

Seeing that she was about the same age as Rong Ying, Ruoyun calmed down a little and said, "Since the girl knows me, I want to leave the palace...... No......," she corrected, with a twinkle in her eyes, "I want to get out of here and go to the Water Pavilion, I wonder if the girl can lead the way?" ”

"No, since you're here, stay here until late at night." The little girl refused without hesitation and smiled slyly.

Ruoyun's heart couldn't help but accept it, and clenched her cuffs.

"What if I have to go?" She looked at the person in front of her coldly, and instinctively felt that the person who came was not good.

Seeing her like this, his little girl smiled, took two steps casually, looked her up and down again, and then said: "Look at you carefully, you are really a little brave, but unfortunately it is not possible, you better not go against me." ”

She leaned closer and smiled, the jade earrings in her ears were shining through the light, and the splendid moire at her collar revealed a flower and a half.

Ruoyun was shocked and hurriedly took a step back: "Are you ...... The ...... of King Cheng's Mansion Lord Cheng? ”

"You're a little knowledgeable, but it's a pity." With a sweet voice, Cheng Qingwen raised her eyebrows and grinned.

"Then I don't know, Prince Cheng and Lord Cheng invited Ruoyun here late at night, what do you want?" Ruoyun was still smiling, meeting her shiny but evil gaze.

"I don't care who you are in King Rong's Mansion, or who the emperor summoned you orally, I don't care who you were before or who you are now, I just tell you, I want you to disappear." She approached her back, but the words she spat out were so resentful and proud, as if everything had no weight in her eyes.

"The county lord is aware and knows the emperor's words." Ruoyun was sarcastic, thinking that the news of this Cheng Wangfu was really well-informed.

"I know that you people are the most important to the emperor." This time, it was Cheng Qingwen's turn to sneer, raised the lantern and raised her hand to force her back step by step, "What my eldest brother said is reasonable, it is better to detect and eradicate the danger as soon as possible, so as not to have a long night and a lot of dreams, but it will be too late." ”

Ruoyun's face turned pale, and she snorted coldly: "Prince Cheng Qingsu is really calculating, lest I become Prince Rong's helper." ”

Unexpectedly, Cheng Qingwen was stunned for a moment and glared at her: "If you want to think so, you can do it, but let me tell you, this is not far from the Water Pavilion, but it is a deserted courtyard with a sealed door, and the most dangerous place is the safest place, I don't need to explain this reason, right?" ”

Ruoyun's expression was dazed, this Cheng Qingwen and Rong Ying are completely opposite examples, they are also women of the age of flowers, how can one dare to love and hate, and the other is full of thoughts?

"The county lord can't get along with me, because I want the emperor to suddenly ask me at the dinner, and I disobey the decree and deserve to be punished or even killed? The prince can also be implicated? Ruoyun retreated, and suddenly touched something and had to stop, but when she turned around, she saw that it was a well.

"Yes, wouldn't it be very troublesome if it was just a punishment." Cheng Qingwen took another step forward and smiled slyly, "But what about Rong Yixuan, I don't care." ”

Ruoyun knew in her heart that she just couldn't get along with her, and then snorted coldly: "If the county lord wants to drown me, remember to tie up the stone." ”

Cheng Qinghe only said that looking at her, the one who wanted to kill her was probably Cheng Qingwen's own idea! She couldn't have imagined that behind the beauty and innocence of Cheng Qingwen in front of her, she was so vicious.

"You ......" Cheng Qingwen's eyes widened, and she easily dragged her to the well, her beautiful face covered with frost: "Don't think I'm killing you directly!" ”

didn't wait for her to speak, and Ruoyun fell straight down with an unstable center of gravity.

She closed her eyes suddenly, and there was no sound of water, but something hung on her waist, and then she fell heavily into the mud and dead leavesβ€”the well had been abandoned for many years, and had dried up, and the mud under it had been soft and soft after the snow had been falling for the past few days.

There was pain in her body, and she struggled to her feet, realizing that she was still alive.

When I looked up, I found that Cheng Qingwen's unclear face blocked the faint light at the wellhead.

Her crisp voice came from afar, like a silver bell: "Su Ruoyun, if you have the ability to reach the sky, why don't you try to climb up?" Don't blame me if you can't climb up? ”

With that, the face moved away.

The surroundings were quiet, and Cheng Qingwen's footsteps could not be heard.

"Helpβ€”β€”!" She tried to shout, but there was no movement but the rumbling echo.

She sat down against the wall of the well.

Hereβ€”no one will come.

Cheng Qingsu is bound to bring up this matter, what can the prince do......

The inner hall water pavilion not far from the main hall is brightly lit and lively.

Rong Jinhuan was grabbing grapes and sending them to his mouth. A bright yellow dragon robe has long been replaced by a casual dress embroidered with dragon patterns, the highest crown of heaven was discarded aside, the corners of his eyes are slightly upturned and focused, his eyebrows are resolute but beautiful, his well-defined facial features and half-open eyes are a little similar to Rong Yixuan, but Rong Jinhuan is like the first queen, and Rong Yixuan is more like the first emperor.

Under the dragon chair stairs, it is divided into two seats, Rong Yixuan and Shangshu and several princes are on the left, while Cheng Wangfu is on the right side with several kings and generals with different surnames.

The inner hall is sparkling with flowing water, and the hall is covered with floor mats, hung with copper bells, and burned incense, and at the end is the silk and bamboo musicians blowing and blowing bombs.

The palace people shuttled through it, adding food and wine from time to time.

The emperor, who is pampered on weekdays, is not moved by the delicacies of the mountains and seas, but he has a ride and does not have a partner to talk with the ministers.

On the contrary, a few Shangshu lords, generals, and princes were left aside, and they didn't eat it, and they didn't eat it.

Rong Yixuan had long been accustomed to the emperor's temper, and only talked to Xu Shangshu beside him with a smile.

However, Rong Ying, who was the county lord, sat behind Rong Yixuan with a bored pout-she didn't know a few ministers, and a girl's family was forgotten aside, so why bother to dress up? At this main banquet, except for the lady is the elder, there are few ministers who dare to bring their daughters of the same age as her, and the only few are quiet and weak, and no one can talk to her about things that are not in the palace like Su Ruoyun.

And the princess, who was about the same age, sat timidly beside the emperor and never said a word.

For this princess sister, Rong Ying has no emotions of liking and hating, more just sympathy.

At the beginning, Rong Jinhuan said that the emperor only named her Rong Ying as the county lord, but she was relatively free to live out of the palace and live; This princess sister can only live in the palace now, and there is no permission to prohibit leaving the palace, like a pet raised by someone, she has not stepped out of the palace in the past three years.

As time passed, Rong Ying was bored and only yawned, and the ministers couldn't hold it back anymore, and they had already talked about their respective topics one by one.

Rong Jinhuan, as if he didn't notice it at all, ate another grape, and his smile faded.

Cheng Qinghe returned happily, quietly joined the seat of King Cheng's mansion, and nodded at Cheng Qingsu.

The eye-catching ones have always been the eldest brother who is unsmiling and resolute, and the gentle and unfathomable second brother, and his Cheng Qinghe's departure will not be noticed.

He didn't know what the eldest brother had in mind, he only knew, and when he asked the eldest brother that he wouldn't hurt her, he did so and didn't ask more.

Cheng Qingsu still didn't smile, just bowed slightly.

Not long after, Cheng Qingwen also returned to the table, shrugged her shoulders at Cheng Qinghe to express her helplessness, but quickly exchanged glances with Cheng Qingsu.

All of this fell into the eyes of Rong Yixuan.

"Shuyan, go and take a look." He beckoned, and Lord Gu and Lord Xu on the side turned their heads knowingly and were busy with their own things.

Shuyan bowed his head and silently withdrew.

There was a commotion in the hall, Cheng Qingsu sneered inadvertently, and his thin and cold face looked even more solemn in the staggered light.

Seeing his expression, Cheng Qingxuan took a thoughtful sip of wine, excused himself to breathe, and left his seat.

This time, Cheng Qingsu's expression seemed to darken, and the chopsticks he put down never moved again.

Slowly swallowing the last grape on the plate, Rong Jinhuan opened his eyes without hurrying or slowly.

"The emperor is tired?" Concubine De stepped forward with a smile and added wine for him, which caused the concubines who were sitting far away to look sideways.

Rong Jinhuan waved his hand to block it, Concubine De's smile froze on her face, and she said, "The concubine will pick some delicious fruits for the emperor." Her eyes fell on the empty plate, and the person withdrew with Rong Yixuan's slow nod.

Seeing that a woman left the table, Lord Hu suddenly got up with the intention of drinking, and arched his hand: "Can the emperor allow the ministers to say a few words?" ”

"Say." Rong Jinhuan's eyes immediately became sharp, but his body was still sitting crookedly.

Lord Hu's face was flushed, and he shook his head and said: "Today's worship to the heavens and ancestors is the tradition of my heavenly family, and the emperor is the emperor who is blessed with heaven and earth, and the example of all the people. The old minister thought that the emperor should be selected in the spring, enrich **, and give birth to a dragon heir as soon as possible. ”

"Bold." As Chang Gonggong's shrill voice stopped, the commotion below suddenly became silent.

Although the emperor is twenty-four, he has not yet established a queen. Not to mention that after the establishment, there are only a few high-grade concubines in the three palaces and six courts, and no heir has been born in the three years since he ascended the throne. Rong Jinhuan has always turned a deaf ear to the proposal of the concubine after the confrontation, and he put it forward at this moment, but he didn't want to die.

Rong Yixuan clenched his molars, and his expression on his face was unpredictable.

Unexpectedly, Rong Jinhuan was not angry at all, the cold breath on his lips did not dissipate, and he said word by word: "Hu Aiqing is really thinking about my royal bloodline!" ”

He stopped, suddenly smiled dangerously, his slightly upturned eyes straightened, turned his head to look at Cheng Qingsu on the other side, and said more slowly: "Since Hu Aiqing thinks so, then according to what Cheng Aiqing sees, my descendants of the Rong family can bless all the people?" He specifically emphasized the word "Rong".

Cheng Qingsu's face did not change, and he said: "Yes".

"Okay." Rong Jinhuan suddenly took a breath, "It's spring next year, and I ordered the selection, and the women participating in the election must be innocent officials and businessmen of three generations, tentatively fourteen to nineteen years old." Changde, you write it down. ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar, only Lord Hu sat down proudly with a spring breeze on his face, but the concubines on Rong Yixuan's side showed bitter expressions.

"Everyone knows that Master Hu is about to marry his eldest daughter to Prince Rong, and he proposes at this moment, I am afraid that he wants to get his younger daughter into the palace, and he is really a virtuous and loyal minister." A resolute old minister sitting far away drank wine and said in a barely audible voice.

The thin old man who was sitting at the other table with his back to him hurriedly wiped his sweat: "Master Gu, do you know, why did the emperor allow it today?" ”

Lord Gu pretended to be drunk, held his forehead and said, "Lord Xu is confused, Bacheng wants to pass on the throne to his son, not his younger brother." "The sound is like squeezing out between the teeth.

"You ......" Lord Xu was busy pretending to eat vegetables and no longer dared to pay attention to him.

Father-in-law Chang wiped his sweat and hurriedly brought the blank holy decree.

"From the day my heir is born, Cheng Aiqing can be the crown prince." He looked around at the four Wang families with different surnames on the left, and added.

The commotion in the inner sanctum was even greater.

Starting from the first emperor, four royal families with different surnames have long held the lifeblood of the Tianyi Dynasty for many years. Whether it is water conservancy, military, government or farming, they are all divided by four kings with different surnames.

Although the four kings with different surnames do not disturb the people's livelihood, on the contrary, they are very helpful, but most of the dignified Rong royal family is afraid of their power - this is the Rong family, and outsiders always interfere with it.

is the crown prince, but it means that he will stay away from the government from now on?

Cheng Qingsu's expression on his face was unwavering, and he responded very cheerfully: "Minister, obey the order." ”

Rong Jinhuan didn't smile, but sneered, and no longer paid attention to Cheng Qingsu, but muttered in a low voice: "It's really hateful." ”

The discussion gradually subsided, and some ministers who tended to be attached to the flames have made up their minds, and the objects of the future are not only those Rong princes.

The light is staggered, and the tide of open and dark fighting has also begun to sweep.

Rong Yixuan frowned tightly, and couldn't guess what Cheng Qingsu wanted for a while.

Turning their heads, several tables with different surnames were half empty, and they really didn't give the emperor face.

Shuyan trotted all the way back, leaned close to his ear and said: "Lord Wang, Miss Su's carriage has been hijacked, and she is now being searched, but she has not been found."

Rong Yixuan's face changed suddenly, but he heard Rong Jinhuan suddenly call his name: "Yixuan, what do you think of today's winter festival?" ”

Rong Yixuan hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, it is early winter today, but the sun is shining, and the winter festival ceremony is going well, so the country must be safe and secure." ”

"Well said." Rong Jinhuan seemed to be very satisfied, nodded with a smile, and his bright yellow robe also brightened a little, "Master Hu proposed to be selected, how do I remember who is in your house, just right?" ”

Rong Yixuan's pupils contracted instantly, and he hurriedly got up and bowed his head: "Back to the emperor, if you mean Su Ruoyun, the daughter of Su Xi, then she is not the daughter of a courtier or a businessman, but a daughter of the people." He was surprised that his instinctive words were actually excusing Su Ruoyun.

"Master Hu, but who I appoint?" Rong Jinhuan pretended to tilt his head and "asked" Hu Bowen very seriously.

Lord Hu was even more angry, and hurriedly replied: "The emperor is the honor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and this selection belongs to the category of tribute after the autumn, and the emperor said that spring is spring, and it is reasonable for the emperor to choose who he likes." ”

"Master Hu, you're drunk." Rong Yixuan frowned and interrupted him, his eyes full of gloom.

Rong Jinhuan didn't wait for Hu Bowen to speak, and his slightly upturned eyes suddenly turned cold: "I want to see her." ”

Rong Yixuan thought for a moment, so he had to kneel down, clasp his fists and say: "The younger brother was ignorant, he didn't bring her to the banquet, and she occasionally contracted the wind and cold just by sacrificing to the sky." ”

The words of exploiting the loopholes of the holy decree were like a fish in the throat, and Rong Jinhuan asked this to show that he would not be given a chance. But he was afraid and afraid that Rong Jinhuan would really open his mouth and take her away, and the only sincerity he had touched in the past three years would no longer exist.

"What should Yixuan be guilty of?" Rong Jinhuan sneered, looking at his brother on the ground as if playfully, obviously not believing his words.
