Chapter 53: Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chicks
An Yan has been the prime minister for more than 20 years, seeking his own government in his position, letting him fulfill his duties, and 20 years have been like a day of going to the court, discussing politics, and playing and turning.
However, those who have high merit are in danger, and those who are famous all over the world will not be rewarded.
It was an open secret that the emperor was dissatisfied with the prime minister.
The Prime Minister's Mansion recruits a wide range of visitors, and the annual "Prime Minister's Mansion Examination" is comparable to the imperial court scientific examination.
More than half of the officials who hold real power in the court today were once the prime minister's staff, and they are inextricably linked with the prime minister's old benefactors.
In the face of the emperor's intentional or unintentional suppression, Prime Minister An would only say: "The emperor trusts me." β
Until An Xi was thirteen years old, the emperor secretly summoned An Cheng into the palace.
"The county lord and my sister-in-law have a deep affection, and I intend to make him the queen."
Under the gaze of the emperor like a pool of stagnant water, Prime Minister An Cheng knew that his time was short.
The East Palace has passed away, and Yu Yi'an's road to power is too smooth.
He should have known a long time ago.
It's a pity.
If he had known it a long time ago, he would never let An Xi get close to the Seventh Prince.
The emperor was born in the family of King Yu of the former dynasty, and the daughters of the King Yu clan inherited the throne from generation to generation, so he had the net worth of a million army when Yu Zhe rebelled.
Although the emperor seized the throne in a fit of rage, he was afraid that others would also be angry with the crown.
If the son is a dragon, go to the mother and keep the son; If a woman becomes a phoenix, go to the father and keep the daughter.
This has been the case since ancient times.
An Yan stumbled out of the Cheng'an Palace, his fingers touching the cold palace wall.
I hope that Xiaoshuang will be favored by the emperor in the future, and will not count the palace walls to live.
-------------------------------------
An Xi and Yu Yi'an's wedding date is set for May 16.
The master of the day counted the calculations over and over again before it was decided.
Originally, the wedding dress was still planned to be handed over to Li Furong, but An Xi is now wary of Li Furong, coupled with Yu Yi'an's identity, it was finally handled by the palace construction department.
The dowry list and the dowry list were stacked together to form a small mountain, and everyone was busy.
Yu Yi'an actually prepared the dowry early, but in the past two months, he still used this as an excuse to avoid An Xi.
As for Anxi, she reversed her active style when she helped Mingyu prepare for her wedding, staying in the courtyard all day and doing nothing, as if it wasn't her own wedding.
She knew that even if Yu Yi'an took the initiative to come to see her last time, it didn't mean that the ice of the relationship between the two people was broken.
"If the greeting team can't pick you up."
"Prime Minister's Mansion, none of them can live."
These are the exact words he said.
What absconded, what disappeared, what refused to marry, all came to naught at that moment.
Together with her feelings and trust in Yu Yi'an.
These royal people are too self-righteous.
Yu Zhe's bloodthirstiness and killing, our noble Seven Princes have inherited ten out of ten.
The curtains were tightened by Anxi, and no light could penetrate the room.
"Xiaobei, everything is ready?"
"It's ready." Xiaobei changed his usual grinning look, and his eyes stared at the leather jar in his hand.
Miss's plan has been in the works for a few months, and the stakes are too high to be done carefully.
In the jar is the "treasure" that Anxi asked the spies of Qianzhou Tavern to find from Miaojiang a few months ago.
Snowworms.
Snowworms are highly poisonous, and even a fingertip touch will kill them instantly.
However, the eggs of female snowworms can cause suspended animation if they are taken, and as long as the antidote is taken in time within three hours, there is no danger.
In addition to this worm, there are all kinds of ordinary medicines, all of which are medicines for colds and fevers.
But if it is mixed together, it will have medicinal properties, and the death is unknown.
Playing with the jar in his hand, An Xi's mouth hung a wicked smile.
An Wangfu, she will enter.
Safflower soup, she won't drink.
The life of the Prime Minister's Mansion cannot be deprived by others.
Whether it's Yu Yi'an or his father.
In the twenty years of the two lifetimes combined, no one has been able to force her to be happy.
Emperor Lao'er, if you want to be a game to protect the country, Xiaoshuang will accompany you to play.
"Bang, bang, bang."
An Xi's thoughts were interrupted by an orderly knock on the door.
The two looked at each other suspiciously, silently covering up the items on the table.
The little pair tiptoed up to the green sandalwood door, and as soon as he opened a crack in the door, he heard a voice speak sneakily.
"Little Shuang, Little Shuang, I'm Big Shuang, please reply when you receive it."
It's Anrui.
Two fingers rubbed his temples vigorously, An Xi raised his eyebrows and replied, "Come in." β
An Rui squeezed the crack in the door, and entered the room with a flicker of his side.
"Xiaoshuang, you can't say come in, you should say Dashuang Dashuang, I'm Xiaoshuang, you can come in."
Looking at An Rui's innocent face in a daze, An Xi nodded in compromise, "Okay, it's up to you in the future." β
Although An Rui was well healed after breaking his leg, his personality has changed a lot, and the most naughty child in the past has become timid.
For a while, An Xidu was worried that he would lose his speech function after not opening his mouth for a long time.
The past two years have finally gotten better, and there are some shadows of the past.
It's just that it's really tight, and I always like to pull people to say some childish and ridiculous things.
But everyone knew that his stupidity was very serious, so they also patiently played with him.
"Xiaoshuang, I'll tell you a story, my mother told me today."
"Okay, you can speak, I'll listen."
Tea and fruit bowls came up from the small north end and they retired.
Anxi seems to have nothing to do, but in fact, she has been busy these days, so she just took this opportunity to relax.
An Rui took the fan, pretended to hold it in his hand, and coughed softly.
"Storytelling, singing, drama and persuasion, the three roads go to the center, good and evil will eventually ......"
"Just say it." An Xi snatched the fan and gently tapped it on his head.
An Rui didn't annoy her.
"Don't worry, Xiaosheng will talk to you in detail."
The story takes place on the day the twins are born.
It is said that when Liu Qingqing gave birth, a white-bearded elder wearing a green robe waited in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion early.
As soon as the twins were born, they met the prime minister.
"It's not easy for your lady to conceive, and the stars are changing."
The old man sold a pass, and Prime Minister An Cheng, who was full of tears and was full of tears, was nervous.
"The young lady of your house will become a dragon and a phoenix."
When Prime Minister An heard this, he was so frightened that he hurriedly pulled him into the study to talk secretly.
After the guidance of the elders, he gave the names An Rui and An Xi, saying that this is the only way to be worthy of auspicious signs.
It is also said that the sleeping dragon and phoenix chicks are all talents, but the dragon and the phoenix cannot have both.
It means that only one person, Anxi and Anrui, can achieve hegemony.
It's not that An Xi hasn't heard this story, but the first time he heard the maids and wives talk about it, he scoffed at it, and only felt that the elder was a charlatan who was deceived and abducted, and he specialized in deceiving high-ranking officials and adults - the higher the position, the more superstitious.
But at this moment, An Rui brought up this story again, and said that it was told by his mother.
That's something to ponder.
Isn't this going to marry your sister-in-law?
Knowing Yu Yi'an's true identity, she felt that Yu Yi'an was indeed the most promising candidate for the prince.
Looking at An Rui, whose expression was extremely flying, and she was eager to mobilize the facial features of her whole face to tell the story, she remembered what the original owner had said to her earlier.
"The queen mother sent me to Yu Yi'an as a toy."
"She picked out a very suitable item for her son."
Toy? Commodity?
Scold.
The queen has some plans, but most of them should be out of guilt and maternal love.
But Yu Yi'an is not a fool, is it really dependent and warm?
Not necessarily.
The prime minister's concubine has won the world.
The young Yu Yi'an is also Yu Yi'an.
How can it be as naΓ―ve and helpless as they think.
"Little Shuang? Little Double? β
Seeing that An Xi was flustered for a while, An Rui shouted impatiently.
"Huh?"
"Cut, it's not fun! Little pairs are not fun! β
An Rui shouted and ran out of the house, just in time to bump into Xiaobei, who was about to push the door, and stepped heavily on the ground with dissatisfied steps.
Looking at An Rui in the distance in surprise, Xiaobei quickly came back to his senses.
"Miss, the news of Gongzi Qin's arrival."
A piece of letter paper was presented to the table, and the signature was the three big characters "Qin Ayang" in strong handwriting.
Unfold the letter and read the contents at a glance.
Anxi hooked the corners of his mouth, and it became more and more interesting.
