An Jinyan lowered his head a little shyly.

"You and the prince are husband and wife, what is there to be shy about?" The queen laughed, "Okay, okay, the palace won't tease you anymore, and there are many things in the East Palace, so you can kneel down." ”

After An Jinyan and the queen glanced at each other, they bowed in a proper manner and exited the middle palace. There are many palace eunuchs around the queen, so there are some things that the queen will not tell her clearly. An Jinyan was on the way back to the East Palace thinking about what the queen told her.

Let the prince not have to worry about the palace, which means that the queen has already taken action to relieve the prince's difficulties.

Let the prince remember to share his worries for the saint, which is to tell the prince that no matter what Sejong's attitude is, he still has to be a good son who is respectful and filial in front of Sejong.

Give birth to a grandson as soon as possible, An Jinyan sneered, any woman gives birth to a son for the prince, and the queen will be very happy. The true meaning of the queen's words should be to ask them to do something in the East Palace to make Sejong happy.

What will make Sejong happy?

An Jinyan walked in the alley of the palace, Wang Yuan's death must have something to do with the prince, but if the prince didn't say it, she couldn't ask. Privately raising the army, An Jinyan suddenly glanced back at the high middle palace, even if the prince really raised the army privately for the throne, this matter could not be done by the prince alone, if the prince was really sad in the end, the person who was accused of this crime for the prince could only be the queen's mother.

"Crown Princess Niangniang," Ji Li walked over with a team of palace eunuchs, and after seeing An Jinyan from a distance, he stood down and saluted.

"Father-in-law Geely," An Jinyan raised his hand to Jili, and said with a smile on his face, "You came to see my mother?" ”

Geely smiled all over his face, and bowed at An Jinyan, but did not answer.

An Jinyan only asked politely, looking at the brocade box held by the little eunuchs behind Jili, An Jinyan knew that this was Sejong sending something to the queen.

Geely took someone to the side and let An Jinyan go first. The crown princess An Jinyan is also from the An family, and she is also a beauty, but in Geely's opinion, An Jinyan's appearance is better than grace, but An Jinxiu is more exquisite, more lovely, and more able to provoke the love of men.

An Jinyan walked past Jili's side, but what he thought in his heart was that Jili, a eunuch, had been by Sejong's side all the year round, and the person who knew Sejong's preferences best in the world should be this eunuch. It is true to condescend to let the prince win over this eunuch, but at this time, do you still have to pay attention to these?

After An Jinyan returned to the East Palace from the Middle Palace, he ordered someone to invite An Taishi to enter the East Palace to see him.

The eunuch who passed the message went for an hour and came back, but he did not bring Master An, but only brought Master An's words, saying that he was unwell today and would enter the East Palace another day.

After An Jinyan asked the palace people to withdraw from the palace, her face was gloomy, did this father of hers look at the prince's unstable status at this time, and want to distance himself from her? An doesn't count on her daughter now, who else can he count on?

"Niangniang," just when An Jinyan was sitting alone and sulking, the little eunuch beside the prince ran outside the hall and said to An Jinyan, "His Royal Highness the prince has drunk a lot of wine in the study alone. ”

Is it useful to hide and drink sullen alcohol at this time? An Jinyan sneered silently, straightened the golden step on his head, and walked out of the princess's bedroom again, An Jinyan looked virtuous and wise again. The road ahead is not easy to walk, but since entering the east palace in a sedan chair, An Jinyan has no turning back.

Ji Li sent something from the queen of the middle palace and returned to the imperial study, and when he stood outside the door of the imperial study, he heard the angry scolding of Sejong inside: "He also dares to rebel!" Bastard stuff! He didn't dare to kill him?! ”

Ji Li listened to a series of angry scoldings from Sejong, and it turned out to be Bai Yongxin, the king of letters in Fengzhou, who rebelled.

"I must kill him," Sejong patted the table in the imperial study.

The ministers in the imperial study circulated an urgent report from Wang Shenzhi, the envoy of the Fengzhou Festival, and they all frowned. King Shin is Sejong's youngest uncle, and he said that he was the emperor's uncle, but he was only the same age as the fourth prince Bai Chengyun, and he had been silent in the Fengzhou Territory all along, so why did he suddenly turn around?

After scolding angrily for a while, Sejong asked the ministers under the case, "How can we quell the rebellion of Fengzhou?" ”

Fengju was adjacent to the land of Gyeonggi, and at this time, none of the ministers in the imperial study dared to send the garrison of the land of Gyeonggi to quell the rebellion, because no one dared to guarantee that King Shin had nothing to do with the generals of the land of Gyeonggi. Transferring troops from outside the land of Fengzhou and Gyeonggi was the only option, and the courtiers mentioned the names of several generals in terms of which route army to transfer, but no one dared to guarantee that these generals would win the battle.

After thinking about it several times, Sejong decided that the general of Baekju Duwei Duan would lead the troops to Fengzhou to quell the rebellion. The courtiers had no objection to Sejong's decision. After the ministers withdrew, Sejong wrote a secret letter and ordered Zhou Yi of Baiyuguan to lead a thousand-strong elite from Baiyuguan to Fengzhou on the same day. Whether it is said that Sejong is the emperor and is suspicious, or he does not trust Duan Heiji enough, this secret letter was sent from the palace on the same day, and it was sent to Baiyuguan by a large internal guard.

When the prince heard the news of King Shin's reversal in his study, the wine glass in his hand fell on the table.

An Jinyan, who was accompanying the crown prince, asked with concern, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" ”

The prince muttered to himself, "Bai Yongxin is reversed? ”

An Jinyan asked the little eunuch who came to report the news to step back, and then pushed the prince, saying, "Your Highness, King Xin's rebellion is a big deal, you better go to see your father quickly." ”

The prince didn't seem to hear An Jinyan's words, and said, "How can Uncle Wang rebel? ”

"Your Highness!" An Jinyan raised his voice and shouted to the prince, "What's wrong with you?" You don't believe in the rebellion of the king? ”

The prince stood up suddenly, ignored An Jinyan, who was beside him, and walked out.

"Your Highness, where are you going?" An Jinyan hurriedly grabbed the prince, seeing that the prince was not in his home, where did An Jinyan dare to let the prince go out of the door like this?

"I have something to go out for," the prince was pulled by An Jinyan and stood for a while, as if he was sane again, and after pushing An Jinyan's hand away, he said, "It's okay, you go back to your room." ”

An Jinyan watched the prince hurriedly walk out of the study, and doubts rose in his heart, how could the prince react like this when King Xin rebelled? Could it be that there is still a secret relationship between the prince and the king of letters?

"Niangniang," the palace man who was serving An Jinyan came up at this time and wanted to help An Jinyan go back to his bedroom.

"Who in our East Palace can talk to Father-in-law Geely?" An Jinyan asked the palace humane, "It's best to have a good relationship." ”

The palace people thought for a while and said, "Niangniang, Wu Shun next to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the apprentice of the auspicious father-in-law, and if you want to say that the person in the East Palace has the best relationship with the chief manager, it is him." ”

An Jinyan recalled the eunuchs around the prince, but he could remember the appearance of this eunuch named Wushun.

"This Wushun is not much to talk on weekdays," the palace man said to An Jinyan again, "It looks like he is also loyal to the prince." ”

"Let him come to me," An Jinyan said, "I have something to ask him." ”

"The slave obeys," the palace people helped An Jinyan walk a few steps, and said to An Jinyan as if he remembered something, "Niangniang, the gift you ordered to give to the wife of General Shangguan last time has been sent, but it's just ......"

"Just what?" An Jinyan knew what kind of gift this palace person was talking about, when An Jinxiu's eldest son was full moon, she ordered someone to send a generous gift, "Didn't she accept it a long time ago?" ”

"It's just that yesterday, Mrs. Shangguan ordered someone to send another gift, saying that it was a gift for Niangniang's birthday. The slave maid looked at Mrs. Shangguan's gift, which was also a generous gift. ”

An Jinyan had forgotten that her birthday was coming, and the palace people said that An Jinxiu's gift was a generous gift, so it seemed that this sister-in-law had returned the gift she had sent. I don't know what to do, An Jinyan said in her heart, "If she sends it, take it, my sister, she has a heart for me." ”

The palace people looked at An Jinyan's expression without displeasure, and hurriedly said, "Niangniang and Mrs. Shangguan have a deep sisterhood, and the slave is really envious." ”

Sisterhood? An Jinyan has the usual smile on her face, she can't even count on her father, how deep can a sister be in love with her?

An Jinxiu, who was being read by An Jinyan, was still on the Zhuangzi in the western suburbs of the city at this time, looking at the green rice seedlings in his fertile fields, imagining the scene of a bumper harvest of rice in these fields after autumn, An Jinxiu's mood would become very good. An Jinxiu even thought that after Shangguan Yong came back, it would be a good choice for their family to live in Zhuangzi.

"Mrs. Shangguan," just as An Jinxiu was planning about her future with Shangguan Yong, a voice came from behind her that An Jinxiu couldn't avoid in this life, "Have you decided to be a Tian Sheweng?" ”

An Jinxiu turned around and saw Bai Chengze walking towards him step by step, wearing an ordinary spring shirt, wearing this person's body is an indescribable dignity, a very handsome prince, I don't know how many people have lost the heart of a woman, but An Jinxiu thought irritably in her heart, how did you meet again?

Bai Chengze walked to An Jinxiu's approach, and looked An Jinxiu up and down without hesitation, the second lady of An Mansion was dressed as a peasant woman today, but her beauty was not reduced by half. Seeing An Jinxiu saluting himself, Bai Chengze stretched out his hand and helped him, and said with a smile, "There is no one else here, why bother talking about these false courtesies?" ”

An Jinxiu finished this ceremony before saying to Bai Chengze, "Your Royal Highness, is it out of the city to enjoy spring today?" ”

Bai Chengze stood on the ridge and raised his eyes to look at the green farmland under his feet, "May is already late spring, how can there be spring to appreciate?" But when I saw Mrs. Shangguan here, I still made this trip worthwhile. This is the field in Mrs. Shangguan's house? Bai Chengze pointed to the fertile field under his feet and asked An Jinxiu.

"Yes," An Jinxiu graciously admitted.

"General Shangguan is not in Kyoto, you have worked hard," Bai Chengze said, "Actually, you shouldn't be here." ”

An Jinxiu said, "Where should the little woman appear?" ”

Bai Chengze looked at An Jinxiu with deep eyes, "I still remember those poems you wrote, Miss's days should be wind and snow, and the hand that plays with the strings should not be stained with the soil in the field." ”

An Jinxiu looked at Bai Chengze's warm and harmless eyebrows, a little in a trance, time seemed to have returned to the first period of her and Bai Chengze in her previous life, this man's gentleness and affection were like a spider web, binding her for a lifetime. "Your Royal Highness has already spoken, the little woman is now more concerned about firewood, rice, oil and salt, what do you talk about in life?"

Bai Chengze smiled, stretched out his hand and plucked a small ball of flying flotsam from An Jinxiu's hair, "How could you buy the Wang family's field?" ”

It turned out that this was the purpose of this royal highness coming to the western suburbs, An Jinxiu's eyes flickered, and he bowed his head and said, "At that time, Wang Yuan was going to leave Beijing, and I heard that their family was going to sell the fields here, and the Fifth Highness may not know that the fields here are all high-quality fertile fields." The little woman listened to the price and thought it was reasonable, so she bought it. ”

"Did you use the farmers that the Wang family used to hire?" Bai Chengze asked again.

An Jinxiu's face looked a little uneasy, and said, "The farmers here used to farm for the Wang family, and the little woman bought these fields, so naturally she hired them to farm, Fifth Highness, is it inappropriate for the little woman to buy these lands?" ”

"It's okay," Bai Chengze smiled at An Jinxiu again, and said, "I just ask casually, if I have the heart to go into seclusion in the future, I also want to find a few acres of fertile land to cultivate, and there is nothing wrong with sending affection to the green mountains and green waters." ”

Affection for the landscape? An Jinxiu sneered in her heart, would a person who wants to become an emperor be in love with the landscape?

"By the way, what are you standing here looking at?" Bai Chengze suddenly asked An Jinxiu again.

"Look at the growth of the crops in the fields," Ms. An said.

Bai Chengze said: "Don't you ask, why did I come to this field stalk alone? ”

An Jinxiu glanced at Bai Chengze, in the previous life, Bai Chengze stretched out his hand to her, and she offered her heart with both hands, she didn't do anything in this life, what is this person still saying these ambiguous words to her like this? "The little woman didn't dare to ask about His Highness," An Jinxiu saluted Bai Chengze again, "If Your Highness doesn't ask again, the little woman will retire." ”

"I'll send you," Bai Chengze said, "where is your Zhuangzi?" ”

"The little woman doesn't dare to bother His Highness," An Jinxiu felt a burst of irritability in her heart for no reason, how long will this man still act with her here?

An Jinxiu hid his emotions very well, but Bai Chengze still saw An Jinxiu's impatience, and Bai Chengze was not annoyed, he was pestering a married woman in this way, but when he first met in the East Palace, this little woman was half surprised and shy, half calculating, Bai Chengze was more interested in this little woman who just wants to teach her husband and children and be a good wife and mother. How can a person who pursues glory and wealth and is unwilling to accept his fate become a person who has no desires and no desires, and lives a martial artist for a lifetime?

"Your Highness, the little woman has retired," An Jinxiu looked at Bai Chengze's inquiring gaze, and didn't bother to guess Bai Chengze's thoughts, this man was too scheming, guessing his thoughts would only make him tired, An Jinxiu took two steps back, turned around and left.

Bai Chengze had been standing on the field stalk and watching An Jinxiu walk away until he disappeared, when he heard footsteps behind him, he didn't look back and said, "Why is the second brother here?" ”

The second prince, Bai Chenglu, was a little anxious along the way, gasping and said, "King Xin is in Fengzhou." ”

"How could King Shin be opposed?" Bai Chengze turned around to look at his second brother of the same mother, "Is this news confirmed?" ”

"My father has already sent Duan Hei from Baizhou to quell the rebellion, can this news be false?" Bai Chenglu said, "What are you looking at standing here alone?" ”

"I don't believe that the king will be opposed, there must be a misunderstanding here."

"Misunderstanding?" Bai Chenglu laughed and said, "What kind of misunderstanding can make my father think that he is rebelling?" ”

Bai Chengze walked a few steps under the field stalk, and suddenly stopped and said to Bai Chenglu, "We should send someone to Fengzhou, if King Xin has no one to force him, how can he rebel?" ”

Bai Chenglu said: "Someone forced him to rebel? Who has such a great ability? ”

Bai Chengze pointed his finger at Bai Chenglu, "Wang Yuan just died, and the king is opposed, is there such a coincidence in the world?" Second brother, we can't let King Xin die. ”

"Father wants to kill him, how do you keep him from dying?" Bai Chenglu asked Bai Chengze, "It's a matter of conviction for the crime of rebellion, shall we intervene?" ”

Bai Chengze let go of the flying flotsam in his hand, watched the flying flotsam drift away with the wind all the way, suddenly smiled, and whispered to Bai Chenglu, "That's right, we just need to see who wants King Xin to die the most, and we will know who Wang Yuan died for." ”
