Recalling the woman who lived in this small courtyard back then, King Yu had mixed feelings in his heart. After a long silence, he finally didn't say anything and got up to leave.

The sun slanting to the west stretched his figure a little longer. Even if he was once tall and mighty, he was just a twilight old man at this time.

Looking at his heavy back, Yan Lone's eyes deepened, and the corners of his thin mouth curved into a mocking arc.

A few days later, the sage issued a decree to crown Yan Lin as the king of Yi County, and gave the county king's mansion.

Yi has the meaning of assisting and helping.

With this word as a title, the intention of the saint is worth pondering.

Since the time of Emperor Taizong, he was very afraid of the clan commanders. Just like King Yu, he also went to the army when he was young, but only for a few years, he was transferred back to the capital and became a rich and idle king.

But Yan Lonely has become an exception.

Anyone who has eyes can see that the saint values Yan Lin very much, and he has an extraordinary love for the younger generations in this clan.

For a time, the quiet Yijun Wangfu was full of guests.

Even Yan Lin himself was flattered and sought after. Even, several princes also showed their friendship to him.

In Yan Lone's life, the first twelve years were spent in the white eyes and humiliation of everyone in the Yuwang Mansion. After the age of twelve, he joined the army and went to the battlefield, and most of the soldiers he met were upright soldiers, who intersected with each other in life and death, and they were not like these people in the capital, who were red and white, and all kinds of flattery made him disgusted and disgusted.

Yan Lin really didn't want to stay in Beijing, but the saint liked him to be with him, and he always carried it, rewarded countless people, and gave him a banquet in the palace. If you don't get the key to the palace gate every day, Yan Lonely is easily inseparable.

Last time, Yan Lin once again said goodbye to Tang Yanning, and he always wanted to go back to the other courtyard. Even if it's just to talk to her, it's good.

It's just that I didn't expect that the saint couldn't leave him for a while, and since he was knighted, there are all kinds of trivial matters to deal with. Yan Lin this time, he didn't appear in front of Tang Yanning for more than ten days.

Thinking of Yan Lone's handsome and dusty face that day, with a layer of rouge-like expression, Tang Yanning was also a little awkward. Therefore, Yan Lonely did not come again, but she was a little relaxed.

However, this ease did not last a few days.

Tang Guogong came.

It's still in high spirits.

Tang Yanning was greatly surprised. She's a cheap dad, is this something good? Have you been promoted or have you accepted a newcomer?

"The sage has made an order, he wants to go to Xingyuan to escape the summer, and he will hold a Dragon Boat Festival banquet in Xingyuan, and all the adults above the third grade in Beijing can bring their families to participate." Tang Guogong rubbed his hands and said excitedly, "This is a rare opportunity!" ”

Lin didn't know why, "What chance?" ”

"If you haven't been out for a long time, you naturally don't know." Tang Guogong said with a smile, "Now that the crown prince and several princes have reached the age of marriage, since last year, the sage has intended to select the crown princess for the prince, and he wants to choose famous ladies for the princes to be concubines. Ah Ning is about to get out of the cabinet, isn't this a good opportunity? ”

Now the Lin family's body is much better than before, and the unparalleled complexion in the past can be seen a little more. Her two good-looking distant mountain eyebrows frowned, "You mean, let Ah Ning attend the Dragon Boat Festival banquet and fight for the position of the princess of Nalaosh?" ”

Her heart beat faster, she bit her lower lip and shook her head, "I can't see it." ”

In addition to the crown prince, the saint had five sons.

These six princes are all of the same age, not a few years apart.

Compared with the previous emperors, today's saints seem to be clear and simple under their knees, but in fact they are not.

Today's queen Xue is from the Xue Hou Mansion and has a great prince. It is said that the eldest prince is the eldest prince, and the position of the crown prince should have been his.

However, Empress Xue is not a saint Empress Yuan.

The queen of the saint is the deceased Empress Xiaochun. The crown prince is from Empress Xiaochun.

When the eldest prince was born, Empress Xue was just a side concubine by the saint's side. Therefore, strictly speaking, the eldest prince can only be regarded as a concubine.

However, although the crown prince is the descendant of the Yuan Dynasty, his biological mother died early, and the maternal family is not obvious.

As the eldest prince and the crown prince grew older, the courtiers also began to stand in line, and most of them were divided into two factions.

One faction supports the eldest prince, and strives to promote the eldest prince on the grounds that it is now Empress Xue is in Fengyi Palace, and the eldest prince is the legitimate heir of the main palace, and he is long. The people of this faction are mostly military generals - Xue Houfu, the mother of the eldest prince, started with martial arts.

The other faction that supported the crown prince Yan Ze was dominated by Wenchen, believing that the prince was born from the Empress Yuan and was the most noble prince under the sage's knees. It is Queen Xue, who also needs to bow and bow in front of the spiritual seat of the Empress Yuan. This has been clear since ancient times, and it is the truth of the Qingming Dynasty, let alone a country?

Of course, such an open and secret struggle cannot be put on the surface. The saint himself stepped on the blood of his brothers and stepped on the throne. But when he is old, he hopes that his sons can be brothers, friends, and brothers.

The two factions are harmonious on the surface, but they are fighting fiercely behind the scenes.

Lin didn't know anything about the court, but she wasn't stupid. In the homes of the ordinary people, the brothers can still fight against each other for a cow and a bowl, let alone the royal family?

When she was studying, she also heard that when the emperor was at the end of the previous dynasty, the prince seized the heir, and finally caused a miasma in the entire court, the world was in chaos, and the people could not bear the suffering.

"A Ning's temperament is not suitable for entering the royal family." Lin hugged his heart, took a deep breath, and rarely fell on Tang Guogong, and persuaded in a low voice, "Once you enter the Hou Gate, it is as deep as the sea, let alone the royal family?" Grandpa Guo, you often have to go to court, you should see it more clearly than me. Marrying the prince as a concubine, listening to glory and decency. But who knows the pain behind the scenes? Not to mention anything else, just before the prince opened the palace, there were four concubines on both sides, and there were countless concubines who could not be jade. When there are more people, there will be more fights, and I am reluctant for my daughter to live such a life. ”

If Tang Yanning marries into an ordinary family, if she is wronged, she will naturally have her brother and parents to support her. Marrying a prince, that is a member of the royal family, it is a king, and when her parents and brothers see her, they even have to salute. With grievances, who can still call the shots for her?

Not to mention...... The eldest prince and the crown prince are fighting, who can say that the remaining princes will not be swept in?

The battle among the royal family has always been endless.

The Lin family must not let their daughter have the possibility of marrying into the royal family, not at all.

Tang Guogong, who was poured cold water on his head, smiled angrily, "You are the only one who is so stupid in the world." can enter the eyes of the saint and be a princess or even a crown princess, which others can't ask for, but you can't avoid it. You can only rest assured, the sage just intended to make the queen selective, how many outstanding ladies in the capital, and the family background and appearance are not inferior to your daughter. She may not have such a great blessing! ”

Tang Yanning asked Tang Guogong: "Then our Guogong Mansion, have the candidates for the Dragon Boat Festival banquet been decided?" ”

Speaking of this, Tang Guogong already had an idea in his heart.

"Your grandmother is insecure and cannot work. In this Dragon Boat Festival banquet, your third aunt came forward on behalf of her old man and brought you, Yue'er and Hua'er to participate together. ”

Really.

I still have to pave the way for Jiang Qinyue.
