♂? ，，

Xuanyuan Yan's tone was aggravated, what he was most worried about was that Kang Yuanyuan still couldn't wake up, so everything he did would be in vain.

Kang Yuanyuan's fair face was full of shame, and he looked up at Xuanyuan Yan: "The prince's painstaking efforts, if the sinner is disappointed in the slightest, it is really better to be a pig and a dog, ask the prince to learn clearly." Don't dare to accept the prince's leniency, please punish the prince heavily. ”

"It's best to understand, get up."

Xuanyuan Yan used his wrist to help Kang Yuanyuan, who was kneeling in front of him, up from the ground.

"The Prince's ......"

Kang Yuanyuan was panicked, ashamed and guilty, his hands and feet had nowhere to put his hands and feet, his face was flushed, grateful and ashamed, and his eyes were full of tears.

"I haven't thanked my master for his kindness."

Ye Tianqing whispered a reprimand behind Kang Yuanyuan.

"Puff ......"

Kang Yuanyuan took two steps back, landed on his knees and knelt down again: "The guilty minister bows to the master's kindness, the master's great kindness and great virtue, the criminal minister will die and will not be rewarded, the only way to do things for the master is to do things with all his heart, in order to repay the master's great virtue in case of emergency, and beg the master for his favor." ”

"But from the bottom of my heart?"

"The master treats the sinner like this, and the sinner no longer knows the master's kindness, how can he be a human being! If the sinner is willing to serve the master, obey his orders, and be loyal to the master, if he has two hearts for the master and disobeys the master's orders, the sinner will be ruined and will die without a place to be buried. ”

Kang Yuanyuan kowtowed heavily and burst into tears.

"I'll follow Ye in the future."

"Thank you, master."

Kang Yuanbang thanked him, Ye Tianqing and Kang Yuanbang also knelt down again to thank him, and they were completely grateful to Xuanyuan Yan and swore allegiance to Xuanyuan Yan.

Xuanyuan Yan ordered someone to put breakfast on the table to entertain the Xi family father and son, and after tossing and turning, it was already dawn, and Xuanyuan Yan left the Xi family father and son to discuss the future. After the truth is revealed, Xuanyuan Yan's identity is on the surface, and it depends on the attitude of the Xi family's father and son.

"What does my father-in-law think?"

Xuanyuan Yan asked Ye Tianqing politely.

"Don't dare, the master spoke like this, which made the old minister panic, please don't do this." ‘

Ye Tianqing's courtesy and etiquette are not missing, and now there is not much speculation about the emperor's intentions, presumably the emperor has already known it, so for many years, he has been unwilling to set up another prince. And the crown prince in front of him will be the emperor of the Tanglin Kingdom and his monarch in the future.

No matter how much ability he has, how amazing his talent is, only by serving the emperor can he fully display his talent, otherwise he will achieve nothing and die with rubble.

Therefore, even if Xuanyuan Yan was still young and had too many places to rely on him, he did not dare to be arrogant.

He has always been able to put himself in the right position, in the court, in front of the emperor, he deeply understands that he has always been a courtier.

His current status, glory and wealth are all given by the emperor, and the emperor's words can also be received

Get back.

"Father-in-law, why be polite, this is not a court, speak casually, you don't have to be strict about etiquette."

"Yes, I obey."

While several people were eating, they were studying the future plan of stealing the country, and Ye Ruoxi did not intervene on the side, but just listened silently.

She understands that when it comes to playing intrigues in the court and seizing power, everyone here is a vixen, she is just a pure person, and she really doesn't understand these very well. So she didn't say much, and obediently sat beside Xuanyuan Yan to listen, and learned the conspiracy from these demonic talks.

"That purple-robed man, do you know who sent it from my father-in-law?"

"Master Qiqi, it should be sent by the queen, her ambition is too big, she can't wait."

"Queen Mother, that's the sister of the Xi family."

Ye Tianqing smiled lightly: "That's right, if it weren't for that, how could the emperor have summoned her to the palace and gave her the position of queen." ”

Xuanyuan Yan waved his hand, ordered someone to withdraw the food, and ordered no one to approach.

He stared at Ye Tianqing: "However, the queen mother is the sister of her father-in-law, shouldn't the father-in-law be the one who defends the queen mother and uses all means to push the sixteenth brother to the throne?" ”

"The crown prince is a righteous prince, and the ministers obey the emperor's will in everything, and they will never dare to abolish the public for personal reasons. Lao Chen is the right minister of Tanglin Kingdom, and this position is given by the emperor. The old minister is loyal to the emperor and has no dissent, and the same is true for the master. What's more, Ruoxi said that daughters are always closer than sisters, Ruoxi is the daughter of the old minister, the most favored daughter. ”

Xuanyuan Yan raised his eyes and glanced at Ye Ruoxi, who was lying on his bed, holding his quilt, sleeping soundly.

The corners of his lips couldn't help but curle, his eyes softened, he walked over and reached out and gently lowered the curtain, and said softly: "Let's go to another room to talk, don't disturb her." ”

Ye Tianqing's eyes darkened, this prince and Ye Ruoxi's father and brother discussed national affairs, she should either avoid it, or sit solemnly beside Xuanyuan Yan and listen obediently, not wanting her to run to the prince's bed to sleep.

And this prince didn't mean to be surprised, and he was worried about disturbing her sleep, so he had to go to another room to discuss.

Seeing that the prince was tiptoeing and sneaking, they also hurriedly used the best light skills to walk out of the prince's bedroom.

The father and son of the Xi family exchanged a tacit look with each other, this prince is too fond of the princess.

"Master, the old minister is not strict with his daughter, and there are many rudeness in front of the master, please forgive the master."

Regardless of how Xuanyuan Yan spoiled and spoiled Ye Ruoxi, in this case, Ye Tianqing still had to say, and also tested how deep Xuanyuan Yan's attitude towards Ye Ruoxi was.

Xuanyuan Yan smiled slightly: "It's okay, she has no rules, let her be, she likes it." Father-in-law doesn't have to worry about anything, if it weren't for Ruoxi,

I wouldn't have bothered so much. ”

He raised his eyes and glanced at Kang Yuanyuan, who hurriedly bowed down and slammed it to the ground: "Yes, the master's grace, the minister is engraved in his heart." ”

"Father-in-law, until now, there is nothing to hide, and the position of the prince will not be given to anyone. At this moment, the truth that you want to hear. ”

Ye Tianqing knelt in front of Xuanyuan Yan with his clothes: "The old minister will never dare to lie in front of the master, deceive the prince, and hope that the master will be clear." Everything is in accordance with the master's orders, and now the queen has been grounded, and His Royal Highness the Sixteenth is not allowed to visit at will, but the old minister advises the emperor. ”

Xuanyuan Yan was quite surprised: "Is it to make a statement to my father?" ”

"Why?"

"Master, you should remember that twenty years ago, the great changes in the court, the great changes in the harem, what were those for. Others all rely on the emperor's favor and trust, monopolize power, and tilt the power towards the government and the opposition, thinking that the Xi family's power in the Tanglin Kingdom is extremely prosperous, and no one can compare. ”

"Isn't that so?"

Xuanyuan Yan looked at Ye Tianqing with playful eyes, the Xi family was extremely powerful in the Tanglin Kingdom, and no one could compare. Even the princes, in order to be the prince, had to show favor to Ye Tianqing.

Ye Tianqing smiled lightly and raised his eyes to look at Xuanyuan Yan: "Don't forget, the crown prince, who gave the position of the old minister and the power of the old minister." ”

"Father's ......"

Xuanyuan Yan Mo Yu shrank up, and when he mentioned the emperor, there were too many complicated emotions in his heart, and he couldn't explain it clearly.

There is hatred, there is blame, there is admiration, there is ......

fell into the water since he was a child, was almost killed, and then pretended to be stupid for many years, his father and emperor were just in the Forbidden City, looking at him with indifferent eyes, and never reached out to pull him.

Even, until now, he doesn't know if his father knows that he is not mentally retarded.

"What does it mean to be absolutely loyal to your father?"

Xuanyuan Yan stared at the three father and son of the Xi family kneeling in front of him, if he could not get the full assistance and loyalty of the Xi family, his position as the prince would be very dangerous, and it would be even more difficult to ascend the throne and take back the power of the Tanglin Kingdom in his hands.

Ye Tianqing looked at Xuanyuan Yan with a smile, and said gently: "Why do you have to worry about anything, you are the rightful prince of Tanglin Kingdom, the eldest son of the emperor." You are talented and resourceful, and among the more than a dozen princes of the Tanglin Kingdom, no one can match the crown prince. The crown prince, you are a well-deserved prince, the master of the old minister. ”

"Will the Xi family do their best to assist the master and be loyal to the master?"

"Prince, you are the future emperor, the old minister's family, of course, you are absolutely loyal to you, and you will never dare and will never have the slightest dissent. When the prince ascended the throne, the old minister resigned and went into hiding, only asking the prince to give the old minister this grace, and the old minister was grateful. ”

"Want to resign?"

Xuanyuan Yan asked in surprise, and looked down at Ye Tianqing, the gentle and elegant Tanglin

The right minister of the country can be said to be in his prime. After the age of not being confused, he is handsome and outstanding, amazingly talented, the right minister who is hot for a while, and the first-class marquis of Tanglin Kingdom.

"I remember that the emperor once said that he wanted to add the official position of a vassal, but the official position of a minister has already been completed, and there is no more to add a seal. The only thing that can be sealed is the duke's position. ”

"The Duke'......"

Xuanyuan Yan's eyes were darker, the duke was the highest title other than the king of Tangling, because the foreign surname could not be crowned king, and the princes were not arbitrarily crowned kings.

The princes, when they came of age, were given mansions, and they were given out of the palace to live in, or sent to other places. And these princes, who only have the blood of the prince, enjoy the honor of the royal family, and cannot be officials in the court, nor do they have military power and official positions.

This is done for the sake of the future prince's accession to the throne, so as not to make the power in the hands of the princes too great and cause trouble to the future prince.

Only meritorious princes can be canonized as kings, so although there are many princes in the Tanglin Kingdom, only three princes have been canonized as princes so far, and among these three princes, there is one Xuanyuan Yan.

Duke is the highest title below the king, but once he is made a duke, he is not allowed to hold an official position in the court, but only a noble title, and cannot participate in the affairs of the court, let alone concurrently hold even a small substantive position.

Ye Tianqing said this, implying that after he ascended the throne, he could add Ye Tianqing as a duke, which would cut Ye Tianqing's power, Ye Tianqing was a duke, and he could only retire in the mansion, and he could no longer continue to hold the power that was now in power over the government and the opposition.

"Isn't my father-in-law willing to assist me?"

Ye Tianqing said with a smile: "The prince is wise and martial, he has no last resort, the old minister is already old, and after the prince ascends the throne, the government and the opposition will be stable, and there is no need for the old minister to have much trouble, and the old minister also wants to live a leisurely life, so he asks the prince to give the old minister a grace when the time comes." ”

"What are you worried about?"

"The old minister is not worried, the Tanglin country is fortunate, and it is the luck of the world and the courtiers to have such a bright monarch as the crown prince."

"Wise and martial, even if you have no last resort, is this a flattery unique to the Xi family?"

"The old minister's words come from the heart."

"Ye Tianqing, have you forgotten the promise you made in front of your master just now?"

"Don't dare, how dare the old minister make any promises in front of the master, the old minister obeys the master's orders."

Xuanyuan Yan stretched out his hand and pointed at Ye Tianqing's father and son with a finger: "That's it, it's engraved in your hearts, don't forget it." ”

"The ministers obey the order, please ask the master to command."

Several people had another secret discussion, and it was not until it was almost time for lunch that it was considered a proper discussion.

Ye Tianqing motioned for Kang Yuanbang and Kang Yuanyuan to go out first, and the two kowtowed and retreated, and quietly walked out of the dormitory.

"Father-in-law can say whatever he wants."

"Master, you should go to meet the emperor for the last time."

"Say, Father

Does the emperor know that I have been pretending to be stupid for years? ”

"The emperor is wise, and the master was raised by the emperor."

"Father, ......, do you already know?"

"The old minister doesn't know, the master naturally knows this matter in his heart, the emperor has always refused to set up another prince, the emperor's love for the master, the master should understand."

"Love?"

Xuanyuan Yan sneered, how could his father have ever loved him in the slightest?

Eyes closed, bitter and heavy hatred, covered by eyelids.

For several days, he was either cleaning up the mess of the thief's door, clearing the door for the thieves to get out of the underworld and walking towards the bright road, or he was cultivating that rather perverted sunflower book.

It is also necessary to study mass murder weapons, secret weapons, poisons, and drugs......

Beauty salons, fashion houses, tea houses......

There are more and more transactions, business is getting more and more prosperous, she is getting busier and busier, and she fell into Xuanyuan Yan's bed when she was tired, and fell asleep.

She is going to be an observer, listening to how these demons carry out their plan to steal the country. However, when she touched the pillow and the bed, she fell asleep.

Hazy, her eyelids weigh a thousand pounds, and when she opened her eyes again, it was because her stomach was rumbling in protest, otherwise she didn't know how long she would sleep.

"Crown Princess, you're awake, please get up and have lunch."

Wangcai ran in from the door very quickly, knelt in front of the bed, and bowed his head to wait for Ye Ruoxi's command.

"You're hungry, sir?"

"Qiyu Crown Princess, the prince is out, so that the servants must not disturb your rest."

Ye Ruoxi was ashamed, she had only been busy for a few days, she was tired like this, that kid had been busy for several months, I didn't know how tired he was, and he still had injuries on his body, so he continued to go out to be busy, but she was lying on his bed and sleeping.

She hurriedly turned over and got up, the quilt in her arms was full of the smell of bamboo leaves on Xuanyuan Yan's body, no wonder she slept so sweetly, blame that kid, the smell on her body was too good, it had a hypnotic effect.

Of course, it doesn't matter whether there is a hypnotic effect or not, the important thing is that she thinks that it is enough.

"Stuffy, the martial arts have been restored, and the days of being a vampire every day are corrupt and happy. Today, who is the best to absorb? ”

Ye Ruoxi's eyes rolled, and she looked around, looking for the unlucky ghost who could exploit her skills and add a few rays of sunshine to her huge and brilliant sunflower.

"Yes, I remember that in the palace of the little mosquito, there are several old monsters, all of them are masters of internal strength, how can I let go of the advantages in front of me and not take advantage of them, and go to find foreign help?"

A crystal clear, green finger hooked Wangcai.

Wangcai was immediately hooked, his eyes lit up, this master, but as soon as the rich master, the master of pearls thrown casually, he had to wait carefully.

A soft light glides through the air

passed, Wangcai a hungry tiger pounced on the food, and put the full pearl into his hand. You know, it's good to wait for this one.

"Crown Princess, what do you command? You just tell you to do it, do you need to spend so much? ”

Ye Ruoxi pursed her lips and gave some rewards, so that this kid could do things for her wholeheartedly.

"Say, inside and outside this dormitory, but I've been in it for several years, and there are a few mouse holes, so they should be cleared, right?"

"That is, the slave has been waiting for the crown prince here for many years, what does the crown princess command?"

"How many old monsters are there?"

"Poof......, old monster ......"

Wangcai cautiously turned around and looked around, approached Ye Ruoxi and laughed in a low voice: "Master, you are absolutely describable, just a few old monsters, you just say it, the slave doesn't dare to say so." When the old monsters heard it, they broke the minions' legs. ”

"How many are there? How is Kung Fu? ”

"The people who can stay by the prince's side are definitely old monsters who have been cultivating for many years, all of them are masters, but they have strange tempers, except for the prince, no one can instruct them. You'd better be careful when you speak, lest you be heard by those old monsters, who won't want to see you. ”

"Oh, this is the first time I've heard that a minion can be dragged like this, why? It is said that the master and I, who are also our grandfathers, are marrying, and the crown princess of the emperor's imperial seal is not? ”

"That's, that's, it's just that people are getting old and cultivating to perfection, and the tempers of those old monsters are getting more and more weird. The servant pondered, it must be suffocated here. Last time, those old monsters made a bet. ”

"Oh, what do they bet?"

Ye Ruoxi's eyes are bright and bright, and the old monster is still a little human, so she is worried that she can't trick a few old monsters into using them to strengthen her brilliant sunflowers.

Wangcai hurriedly shut up, and he couldn't wait to slap his mouth, he just owed, it's okay, what kind of bet?

"Nothing, just idle and having fun."

Ye Ruoxi smelled an unusual smell from Wangcai's words, and a pair of bright eyes widened, staring at Wangcai with murderous aura.

"Good slave, dare to be sloppy in front of my master, my courage is getting bigger and bigger. Think that only the prince can clean it up, but I can't clean it up master? ”

"Don't dare, the slave doesn't dare, the princess, you are the serious master of the slave, even if you let the slave die, the slave won't dare not go."

"Say, those old monsters, what kind of bet?"

"It's ......"
