473 is hard to give up
The emperor turned the jade wrench in his hand and said mockingly: "You and Ah Yan have a 'deep brotherly relationship'. β
Mu Youjing didn't hear the deep meaning of the emperor's words, and thought that the emperor was just sighing casually. He felt that the emperor would definitely like Feng Yan to linger in Fengyue, and said meaningfully: "Father, the emperor and the son have always been in love with Cousin Yan......
The emperor couldn't listen to it anymore, and this rebel clearly didn't reflect at all, and didn't even think it was wrong.
"Rebel!" The emperor interrupted Mu Youjing angrily, his face turned pale with anger, his whole body trembled, and he pointed at Mu Youjing's nose with a trembling hand and reprimanded, "Lingering in the wind and moon, indulging in women, are you still embarrassed to talk about it?!" β
"You're not ashamed, I'm ashamed!"
"Hmph, the hundred-year reputation of our Mu family is going to be lost on you, a rebel!"
Thinking that Ye Chengze, Shi Renwu, Wei Yongxin and others had heard about Mu Youjing's purchase of Maiko, the emperor felt that his face had been lost, and he was so angry that the blood in his whole body poured to his head, and his face turned white and red.
Mu Youjing was stunned by the emperor's scolding, and he couldn't react for a while: Is my father so unhappy to seal the Na'vi? This is not in line with the temperament of my father!
Could it be ...... Is it because Duanmu Fei is Cen Yin's sister-in-law?
Mu Youjing's thoughts accidentally went astray, his eyes flashed slightly, and his thoughts were flying.
The emperor was angry, and at a glance he could see that Mu Youjing was absent-minded, and his anger was even stronger, like a volcano about to erupt, something was about to erupt......
The emperor casually picked up the teacup beside him and threw it at him, with a sharp sound of breaking the air.
Mu Youjing didn't dare to dodge at all, allowing the teacup to fly by his waist and fall on the marble floor behind him.
"Boom!"
The teacup was smashed in an instant, and countless pieces of tea and porcelain splashed everywhere, wetting a large part of Mu Youjing's robe, making him look embarrassed.
The ground is also a mess.
"Father's forgiveness!"
Mu Youjing knelt on the ground flowing with tea, touched the ground with his forehead, and made a kneeling posture, a layer of fine cold sweat oozed from the back of his neck, and his limbs were cold.
Mu Youjing was scared and didn't dare to ask more, after all, the sacred heart was unpredictable, and there were too many justifications, which would make his father feel that he had no intention of repenting, "The son knows his mistake, and the son is willing to be punished!" β
There was a dead silence in the room, and there seemed to be a violent atmosphere brewing in the air.
The eyes of many people outside Hanhui Hall were paying attention to the movement here, but this did not include Feng Yan.
After Feng Yan left Hanhui Hall, he hurriedly went out of Canghailin, went to a few dim sum shops two streets away to buy two boxes of dim sum, and then returned to Canghailin, and then went to Guanyun Pavilion.
Feng Yan planned to give one of the food boxes to Anping, but when he arrived at Guanyun Pavilion, he unexpectedly found that Duanmu Fei was also there, and he smiled happily.
"Mother, Zhenzhen, I just went to buy some snacks, try it."
Feng Yan hurriedly opened the two food boxes diligently, looking flattering.
Anping asked the palace maid to serve tea again, and the three of them drank tea and ate snacks at the same time.
At this time, it was only half an hour before lunchtime, in fact, Anping and Duanmufei were not hungry, and the person who ate the most was Feng Yan.
After Feng Yan ate a few pieces of snacks, he talked to An Ping and Duanmu about the Bailan Army and said: "Mother, Zhen Zhen, the shipwreck of Fenglingfang is a ghost of the Bailan Army's chaotic party, and the emperor's uncle asked me to follow General Shi to exterminate the chaotic party......"
While speaking, Feng Yan's eyes reluctantly lingered on Duanmu Fei, it was rare to come to Gusu, and he originally planned to accompany her to the temple fair tomorrow.
Duanmu Fei bit a cloud cake, and his first reaction was that it was so.
According to the meaning of the Wen family, the Fengling Boat is carefully built, and it is impossible to sink the ship.
In this regard, Duanmu Fei disagreed, in her opinion, there is no ship in this world that will not sink.
It's just that the lake was calm that day, there were no reefs at the bottom of the lake, and the Fengling Boat didn't collide with anything...... The only remaining possibility is that someone deliberately destroyed the hull.
"White Blue Army." Duanmu Fei read it slowly, in the past few years, most of her knowledge of current affairs came from her grandfather Duanmu Xian, and this was the first time she had heard of Bai Lanjun.
Feng Yan saw that Duanmu Fei seemed to be interested in Bai Lanjun, so he explained: "More than three years ago, when I went to Wanzhou to suppress bandits, I heard people talk about Bai Lanjun, and at that time they were still called Bai Lanzong. β
"The Bailan Sect is headed by their sect master Bai Lan, who claims to be a heavenly man and a mortal, can know the success or failure of life and death, and has profound spells."
"In the past few years, some towns along the Yangtze River and canals have suffered repeated floods and have been heavily served, and some displaced people from the south have fled to the south of the Yangtze River and are struggling to survive. Bai Lan often took people to these disaster-stricken and impoverished places to help the local people, and sent food, clothing and property to the local poor people with spells, which was very popular with those poor people. β
"The rebels under the command of Bai Lanjun all respect Bai Lan as a living bodhisattva."
All that was left in the room was the sound of sealing the flames and the sound of the cold wind blowing through the flowers and trees outside the window.
Duanmu's delicate brows frowned slightly, and his expression was a little subtle.
In that difficult environment, people often need more faith, a person to look up to lead and support themselves to continue to move forward. Duanmu pondered silently, and picked up another date and put it in his mouth.
The reason why the Bailan army has a chance is only because those people are in deep despair and can't see the light, so they can only pin their hopes on the "living bodhisattva" in front of them, and they are bewitched into the chaos party......
While listening, An Ping slowly rubbed the floating lines on the teacup with his fingertips, and an unusually bright light flashed in his phoenix eyes.
The room fell silent.
After a while, he opened his lips and suddenly asked, "Ah Yan, just you and Shi Renwu?" There was a hint of sarcasm in her tone.
With her understanding of the emperor, the emperor's suspicion is heavy, and there is such a mess in the local area, and she will definitely not completely leave this matter to the officials of Jiangzhou to deal with it themselves.
Really......
After Feng Yan took a sip of warm tea, he said again: "Uncle Huang also asked General Yu of the Fifth Army Camp to lead people to 'cooperate' with General Shi to suppress bandits. β
The emperor said that everything was based on Shi Renwu, and ordered General Yu to fully cooperate, but everyone actually knew that the emperor was asking the people in the five military camps to monitor and see if the local government knew about this incident......
Feng Yan is sandwiched between these two people, and the position is extremely delicate, and it will inevitably be difficult......
Just thinking about it, Anping felt sorry for his son, and personally sent a plate of begonia cake to his son.
Seeing this, Duanmu Fei subconsciously picked up a plate of 100 fruit honey cakes and sent them to Feng Yan, giving him a cute smile as a comfort.
Duanmu Fei was also very sympathetic to Feng Yan in his heart.
In the thousands of years of history of the Central Plains, Jiangnan has always been a special place, where literati gathered, and this scholar was always a little more clear than ordinary people.
The emperor's edict and the correct name of Emperor Chongming made the emperor actually a little weak, so since the emperor came to Jiangnan, he has shown that he attaches great importance to Feng Yan everywhere, which is just an expression of the emperor to Jiangnan Shilin......
There wasn't much she could do, so she could only bring another plate of plum blossom cake to Feng Yan, and then said, "Ah Yan, you must be careful." β
Not to mention anything else, just this Bailanjun's doctrine has already made Duanmu Fei feel inappropriate, and people don't know what kind of crazy power they will exert in despair, in short, it's always right to be careful.
Feng Yan didn't pay attention to the rabble of Bai Lanjun at all, his eyebrows fluttered on Jun's face, and his heart was as beautiful as if he had been soaked in a honey pot.
His Zhen Zhen really cares about herself!
His phoenix eyes shone brighter than the morning star in the sky.
An Ping suddenly felt that the room was a little too bright, and raised his eyes to look out the window, and the feeling in his heart was extremely complicated.
In recent years, Dasheng has suffered from internal and external troubles, frequent wars, and several surrounding countries have coveted it; Internally, there are disasters in various places, but in the emperor's heart, he has always turned a blind eye and heard nothing, if it is not for the disaster relief is not in place, how can these Bailan army demons have an opportunity to rebel against the party.
If the people can survive, who wants to take the road of death?
In his heart, the emperor couldn't let go of the superficial prosperity, but he never thought that in the history of thousands of years, the so-called "prosperous era" was often followed by the opposite, and even made the court crumbling...... Throughout history, is there still less such lesson?!
But the emperor closed his eyes and covered his ears.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa......"
The cold wind outside the window became more violent, blowing the grass and trees in the courtyard swaying wildly, as if in response to something, and it seemed that a few long sighs crossed the air......
Feng Yan left with General Shi and General Yu that night, and went to pursue and suppress the Bailan Army's rebellious party.
Feng Yan is gone, Duanmu Fei also feels a little lonely, he plays with Hanxing every day, and in his spare time, he paints everywhere in the Canghai Forest, the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River are really elegant, she paints and paints, so she draws a lot of embroidery samples, and asks the envoy to take her letter to the capital.
The emperor still stayed in the Canghai Forest, and he didn't go out again for many days, listening to music with his beauties every day, appreciating the flowers, and when Duanmu Fei was painting in the garden, he met the emperor several times, and he couldn't help but sigh that the emperor was really idle.
The emperor did not go out, but the local officials often came to visit the emperor, sent local specialties, condolences and greetings, and occasionally sent some calligraphy, paintings and articles.
The emperor also took the time to read these articles, and only felt that the Pharaoh was really a pharaoh, quick in writing and thinking, and full of flowers.
The emperor praised again and again, and the originally dull mood also brightened, announced the audience of those students, took the examination of teaching knowledge, and rewarded them with all their might, praised these students as the pillars of the country, and praised the local school administration inspector for his meritorious service.
As the emperor's mood turned from cloudy to sunny, the atmosphere of Canghailin was also active, and everyone up and down breathed a sigh of relief, except for a few princes and princesses.
The second prince, Mu Youchang, continued to be snubbed by the emperor.
The third prince, Mu Youjing, was punished by the emperor to go to the Jingxin Temple in Gusu City to eat fasting and recite Buddha.
The third princess, Shu Yun, was given a marriage ...... by the emperor's decree
These days, Shu Yun's life is very difficult.
After returning from the painting boat swimming in the lake that day, Shu Yun knew that he was afraid that she was in big trouble, so she asked her cousin Wen Yongdie to help inquire about the son who rescued her from the lake and put her on the boat.
Wen Yongdie immediately sent someone to investigate, and personally came to the door to tell Shu Yun about the son, the son's name is Cao Qinfeng, and he is the second son of the local Cao Tong family, who is eighteen years old this year, has not yet married a wife, and is a child.
The general sentence is only six grades, this Cao Qinfeng is eighteen years old and still a child, obviously his qualifications are very mediocre, originally, it is impossible for Princess Shu Yuntang to have any contact with such a mediocre man, however, she fell into the water that day; However, it was this Cao Qinfeng who first rescued her from the icy lake and onto the canopy boat that day.
Of course, Shu Yun was unwilling to marry Cao Qinfeng.
As the saying goes, men are afraid of getting into the wrong business, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man.
She is a princess and a lady of the sky, how can she marry a toad like Cao Qinfeng who has neither identity nor talent? !
Now the marriages of several sisters have not yet been decided, the eldest sister does not want to marry, and her father is up to her; The mother of the fourth emperor sister is a noble concubine, and she will never treat her badly; And ...... for yourself
If he really marries Cao Qinfeng, I am afraid that in the future, the second emperor sister, who does not even have a biological mother, will have to suppress herself!
She is different from the second emperor sister, the biological mother of the second emperor sister is just a humble palace maid, she has the second emperor brother to rely on, and the mother concubine also gave birth to a son and a daughter for her father, and her grandfather's family is also a dignified feudal official, she is a golden branch and jade leaf!
Shu Yun didn't dare to go directly to the emperor, and on the second day after returning from the painting boat, he went to ask the second emperor's sister-in-law Chu Qingyu, but Chu Qingyu was under house arrest while sitting in Xiaoyuezi, even if she had the heart to help her, she couldn't do it, so Shu Yun had to go and ask the second emperor's brother Mu Youchang again, and Mu Youchang said that he would ask the emperor for her.
Shu Yun had been anxiously waiting for Mu Youchang's good news, but he didn't expect to wait for a holy decree of marriage.
Her nightmare came true, and the emperor decreed that she and Cao Qinfeng were married, knocking her from heaven to the bottomless abyss at once.
Shu Yun didn't forget to answer the decree at all, and she didn't know how the attendant who came to deliver the decree left, she suddenly didn't know how time had passed, and she didn't come back to her senses until the palace maid helped her up from the ground.
Her pretty face was so white that there was no blood, and her whole person was like a lightning strike.
"Your Royal Highness......" The palace maid looked at Shu Yun worriedly, and helped her to sit down on the Luohan bed on the side, "Don't scare the slave maid." Why don't you go and beg the queen! β
Ask for the queen?! A bleak wry smile appeared on Shu Yun's face, her heart felt as if it had been pierced through several holes, and the cold wind whirled through it, a bone-chilling chill spread all over her body like a spider web, and she felt that her whole body was colder than falling into the icy lake that day......
She felt that the lake that surrounded her lips and nose had suddenly overflowed over her head, making her unable to breathe, and making her feel a sharp pain in her lungs......
The second emperor brother is her half-brother and half-mother, and he can't even help her if he goes to intercede, even if she goes to ask the queen, what's the use?!
Finished! It's all over!
Just thinking about having to live with that Cao Qinfeng for the rest of her life in the future, thinking that Cao Qinfeng would become a stain on her life and make people point fingers at her for the rest of her life, Shu Yun felt extremely cold, and the strength in her body seemed to be taken away, and she almost collapsed on the Luohan bed.
"......" The palace maid looked at her master, and didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only say, "Your Highness, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, you can discuss it with His Royal Highness the Second Prince, maybe there will be a turnaround." β
The palace maid comforted Shu Yun so much, but in fact, she had no confidence at all.
Even in the people, this marriage is the order of the parents, let alone the royal family, the emperor is not only the father, but also the king, who dares to resist the emperor's words? !
The room was silent, so quiet that it seemed that even the sound of breathing had stopped, and several palace maids did not dare to make a sound.
The air was heavy, as if a storm was coming.
I don't know how long it took, a curtain sounded, and a little palace maid came in timidly, bowed her head and said, "Your Royal Highness the Third Princess, Your Highnesses the Second Princess, Fourth Princess and Fifth Princess are here!" β
The emperor gave the marriage, and it stands to reason that the other princesses naturally came to congratulate them as sisters, but at this moment, Shu Yun's mood was terrible, and she didn't want to accompany her to play any sisterhood, she didn't want to shout: "No, no!" β
While speaking, Shu Yun casually picked up the big pillow on the side and threw it out directly.
The little palace maid didn't even dare to respond, and after blessing Fu, she hurriedly withdrew from the house, walked through the hall, and awkwardly met the smiling eyes of several princesses outside the house.
Fang Cai Shuyun didn't control his voice at all, in fact, the voice had already been heard by the people in the entire courtyard, and the other palace maid guarding under the eaves also showed embarrassment.
"Your Royal Highnesses the Second Princess, Fourth Princess, and Fifth Princess," the little palace maid reported stubbornly, "Her Royal Highness the Third Princess is unwell and can't entertain several Highnesses." β
Han Xing hooked his lips with a smile, Ba had to use it to be polite to Shu Yun, and they had nothing to say anyway.
The second princess Tingyue still looked gentle and gentle, just as she heard everything, and put on her sister's posture in a dignified and decent manner, and said: "Since the third princess sister is unwell, let her rest well." Now that the weather is cold and easy to catch a cold, you should also pay more attention to the body of the Three Emperor Sisters. β
The little palace maid should be again and again.
Tianyue then said to Han Xing and Chaolu: "Fourth Emperor Sister, Fifth Emperor Sister, then let's go back first." β
As the three of them spoke, they turned around and walked towards the outside of the courtyard, Chao Lu walked on the right hand side of the moon, and asked curiously: "Second Emperor Sister, Fourth Emperor Sister, do you know who the concubine that the father chose for the Third Emperor Sister?" She innocently tugged at the Tilting Moon's sleeve.
Tianyue didn't know anything, the emperor's marriage decree came suddenly, and she was surprised in her heart, and subconsciously looked at Han Xing.
Han Xing shrugged, and he didn't know the situation at all, but he was aroused by Chaolu's words.
Yes, who will be the concubine of the Three Emperor Sisters?!
Han Xing only felt as if there was a feather scratching her heart, tickling her heart.
After asking Mei Xuan back, Han Xing went to Duanmu Fei with great interest and chatted: "Cousin Scarlet, I don't know what kind of concubine my father found for the third emperor sister, this palace has to find someone to inquire......" Han Xing also thought of Shu Yun's fall into the water that day, squinted his eyes, and his eyes were surprisingly bright.
Duanmu Fei was playing with Bi Chan in the house, Han Xing waved her hand to signal Bi Chan to go away, and continued to play with Duanmu Fei instead of her.
All the games that pay attention to the flexibility of hands and feet, Han Xing plays very slippery, and turning the flower rope is no exception, her slender ten fingers flexibly flip between the red ropes, and the red rope turns out of another trick, and the action is skillful.
Han Xing showed a triumphant smile at Duanmu Fei, which was a trick she had recently learned.
Duanmu Fei looked at this new trick from all angles with great interest, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Cousin Hanxing, forget it." Duanmu Fei also guessed who the emperor gave him a marriage, and his eyes were slightly condensed.
"The emperor has always had a good face, you have asked too much, if he knows, maybe he will be unhappy......"
As he spoke, Duanmu Fei began to stir the red thread one by one with his fingers, flipping it dexterously, and his ten fingers flew like butterflies, and he didn't know how much he turned out a new trick.
Han Xing thought about her moody father, nodded straight, thought so, no longer thought about the three horses, and concentrated on playing with her flip rope.
Bi Chan looked at the two of them with burning eyes on the side, with a subtle expression.
The fourth princess and her own girl are actually very different from each other in terms of temperament, hobbies, or what they are good at, and occasionally Bi Cicada will have a strange feeling, and I don't know how the other two people can get along so well.
But on second thought, they're all playful!
Occasionally, the two very different cousins have a thing or two that is particularly harmonious, such as this flower rope.
Watching the two of them dexterously playing with the flower rope, Bi Cicada was reluctant to blink, and wanted the two masters to perform again for her to see, well, these two tricks are really beautiful.
When she learns it, when she goes back to the capital in the future, she will definitely show off among the sisters in Zhanqing Academy.
Hanxing began to move again, carefully with every movement......
Duanmu Fei looked at Han Xing's fingers, but he was a little absent-minded, still thinking about the marriage: the emperor traveled thousands of miles to the south, and chose a colt for the princess in the local area, and it spread, I am afraid that it will be a "beautiful talk".
The question is β
Behind this marriage is not very glorious, with the emperor's temperament and consistent way of doing things, Duanmu Fei is a little afraid in his heart......
Han Xing was still slowly picking up the red rope, again and again, with a focused expression......
Looking at his naΓ―ve cousin, Duanmu said coldly: "Cousin Hanxing, the emperor has recently met with some people...... You say, the emperor doesn't want to pick a colt from among them, right? β
Duanmu Fei only said half a sentence, and hid half a sentence without saying anything.
In this way, it will naturally be able to cover up the disgrace of Shu Yun's marriage.
Han Xing was stunned, the index finger of her right hand slipped suddenly, and the red rope slid down from her finger and spread out, falling short.
Han Xing couldn't take care of the red rope anymore, and blinked slowly, his eyes glaring at the boss.
She naturally thought of the articles that the emperor had shown her yesterday, and he also praised her for those two articles, which were extremely beautiful......
Han Xing chuckled in his heart and swallowed his saliva.
Could it be that the father and the emperor are planning to pick a colt for her from the lifting of the son?
The corners of Han Xing's mouth twitched, and he talked about the two articles, and at the same time slowly sorted out the red rope that was messed up by her, and re-wrapped it between his ten fingers for a while, wrapped it for a while, wore it for a while, and picked it for a while, forming a simplest starting pattern.
Han Xing sighed and said speechlessly: "Those two articles were also roughly glanced at by the palace, the rhetoric is gorgeous, and the flowers are full of flowers, but ah, it is very empty at all, and there is no point to it, hum, it is sad and sad, and I don't know how to get in." β
Han Xing pursed his lips in disgust, "This palace doesn't want such a donkey!" β
Duanmu Fei nodded while skillfully taking the red rope with his fingers and turning it into a "field" pattern.
She can't "sit still." Han Xingxin said, beckoned to Congzhen, and said a word of advice in his ear.
Congzhen immediately took the order and left, while Hanxing continued to play with Duanmu Fei with the flipping rope, "noodles", "bull's eye", "twist", "darts", ...... Step by step, from simple to complex.
When Kang Yunyan and his entourage Zhen came in, the cousins just had a good game.
"I've seen Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, the Fourth Girl of Duanmu."
Kang Yunyan politely saluted both Hanxing and Duanmufei, without squinting.
Han Xing was dual-minded when he just played with the flower rope, and after thinking about it for a while, he finally remembered some of the names left on the two articles, and asked straight to the point: "Miss Kang, this palace read two articles from my father yesterday, and the person who wrote the article is surnamed Qian and the other is surnamed Zeng, have you heard of it?" β
Kang Yunyan was stunned, and he couldn't say anything in his heart.
