Let's say that Prince Sheng Yuwen Haohai is the younger brother of today's son Yuwen Haotian, and he is also the only prince who is still alive today. The royal family is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, for example, Prince Sheng is the head of the clan closest to the Son of Heaven, and his status is transcendent.

The reason why he was named the prince is to start from the beginning of Yuwen Haotian's succession to the throne, when Yuwen Haohai, who was a young man with both civil and military skills, assisted him with all his might, and took up the main beam of the internal affairs of the sect and the household department of the criminal department. He has excellent talents, but he has never coveted the ambition of the throne, and only does his best to assist the Son of Heaven.

Who knows that there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck. Eight years ago, Yuwen Haohai accidentally fell and injured himself when riding out of the city, and he didn't care much about it at first, but he didn't expect the small injury to become a serious illness and almost died. After being bedridden for two years, the emperor ordered a heavy reward to find famous doctors in the world to treat him, and although he saved his life, he was greatly injured after all, and he no longer had the energy to assist the government. The emperor thanked Yuwen Haohai for the brotherhood that he had assisted, and crowned him as Prince Sheng, which means that he will be the prince of Shengshi, and he will only enjoy the glory and wealth for the rest of his life.

In the main hall of the East Palace, the maids of the palace bowed their heads in turn, the top sat the prince Yu Wenye, and the prince Sheng and his wife sat next to each other.

Yu Wenye was dressed in a silver robe, and his handsome face was obviously much thinner, but he couldn't hide the noble and noble spirit of the pride of the sky, and there was a look in his eyes that had disappeared for many days: "How did Uncle Wang remember to bring his aunt to the East Palace to sit today?" ”

Prince Sheng stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This king has nothing to do at home, and suddenly heard that the prince is sick, so naturally he has to come to visit." ”

Bai Muguan stood behind the screen incognito and smiled secretly. Yu Wenye also moved his eyebrows, Prince Sheng deserved to be an old fox who had been in the court for decades. There was a lot of rumors outside, and no one knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was poisoned and murdered by the emperor's eldest son's biological mother. At this time, it was said from Prince Sheng's mouth that he was "sick", and the subtlety was self-evident. In this way, Prince Sheng can not only never mention Yu Wencheng and save the face of the eldest son of the emperor, but also pretend to be deaf and dumb by the way, so that Yu Wenye can't test his mind.

Yu Wenye knew that he didn't show any flaws, and took over the conversation along the pole: "Thank you Uncle Wang for your care, my nephew's minor illness doesn't matter, but the imperial doctor made a fuss and told him that he still needs to be raised for a month and a half." ”

Prince Sheng's eyes flashed with a look of happy approval. The royal family pays attention to the identity first and then the seniority, how respectful Yu Wenye is for the prince of the East Palace, and he is willing to humbly call his nephew in front of Prince Sheng, which shows that he is not arrogant and respects his elders.

"The prince married a few months ago, and the king has been ill for a long time, and it is difficult to show it, and he has never met the crown princess. The king is also an elder when he returns to the university, I wonder if I can invite her out to meet today? Prince Sheng naturally chatted about common words, and there was a vague suspicion of inquiry in his words.

Since the prince got married, there has been no good news that the crown princess is pregnant, and there are many remarks in the capital that the prince and the princess are not harmonious. If it is confirmed that the prince and the princess will not be harmonious and affectionate within a year of marriage, it will not be a good thing for Yu Wenye. There is a way, you can't run a family, how can you rule the world?

I saw Yu Wenye showing a slightly regretful expression, and sighed in a low voice: "Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang came here unfortunately, Ye accidentally contracted a cold a few days ago, and she is still bedridden, and she is afraid that it is not suitable for her to come out of the house to meet when it is cold outside." ”

Of course, Prince Sheng knew that it was a prevarication, and his thick eyebrows wrinkled subconsciously. However, Prince Sheng and Princess Gao said with a smile: "It is normal for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to feel sorry for the Crown Princess and not want her to work hard, since the Crown Princess is sick, she should rest well, and we will always meet in the future." ”

Yu Wenye hurriedly laughed and said, "I thank my aunt for being so kind for the Ye family." ”

Prince Sheng and Princess Sheng were about forty years old, and she was born quite rich, round and jade, with a well-maintained and radiant face, and said with a smile: "Your uncle has no children under his knees, except for Jun'er in the family, the most beloved one in his heart is His Royal Highness." Ye is your wife, we naturally love Wu and Wu. ”

Yu Wenye nodded lightly, noncommittal.

Prince Sheng and Yu Wenye just talked and laughed for a few words, and Prince Sheng's eyes were not idle, but fell behind the screen not far away, and suddenly raised his voice to distinguish between joy and anger: "The girl behind the screen may wish to come out and see it." ”

Hearing this, Yu Wenye pretended to change his expression slightly, but when he saw the girl walking out unhurriedly, she walked to the center of the hall and stood still, and saluted neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Xiaguan Bai Muguan meets Prince Sheng and Prince Sheng and Princess Sheng." ”

She knew that the screen made of silk let in the light, she could secretly see the situation outside, and the people outside could also see her figure clearly. Because she was prepared in her heart, she didn't panic at all when she was called out.

I saw Prince Sheng's thick eyebrows frowning slightly, and he hesitated for a moment and suddenly laughed: "It turns out that you are Bai Zhanyi's daughter?" ”

"My father is Bai Zhanyi."

This time it was the voice of Prince Sheng and Princess Sheng: "Raise your head." ”

Bai Muguan raised his chin slightly, his eyes looked straight ahead, his apricot eyes were as clear as water, and there was no panic or fear. This calm and calm attitude was praised in the eyes of Prince Sheng and his wife.

After Prince Sheng looked at her for a moment, he couldn't help laughing loudly: "Today, this king has the fate to see the female general who is personally appointed by the emperor's brother, and he still looks like a child. At a young age, she dared to go to the battlefield to break into the military camp to kill enemy soldiers, and she deserved to be called a heroine by the royal brother. ”

At the same time, Bai Muguan was also looking at Prince Sheng Yuwen Haohai, although he was two years younger than Dang Chaotianzi, he was not young because he was overworked and injured when he was young. The facial features of the same vein are certainly handsome, but the eyebrows and eyes have revealed the vicissitudes of life.

The girl clenched her fists and arched her hands, and said softly: "Mu Wan doesn't dare to bear the praise of the prince." Hearing that the prince and the princess visited the East Palace today, Mu Wan knew that a female liuliu was really ashamed to live in the fourth-grade official position, but he had to come to see the prince and princess. I just saw that you and His Royal Highness were talking, and I didn't dare to bother, so I hid behind the screen, and I hope that the prince will forgive me for the rudeness. ”

After hearing this, Prince Sheng waved his hand and said casually: "This king has been away from the temple for ten years, and he doesn't like to be bound by vulgar etiquette. ”

Bai Muguan responded with a smile.

Yu Wenye gave a look, and the girl consciously stood next to her and waited. Immediately afterwards, he seemed to casually open the topic and asked, "Uncle Wang's cousin is also about to die?" ”

"It's coming, there's still a year." When it comes to his beloved daughter Yu Wenmingjun, Prince Sheng and his wife invariably show a sincere smile from the bottom of their hearts. They are also old women, and they feel as distressed as bone marrow when they hold them in their hands.

Seeing this, Yu Wenye said with a smile: "Cousin Jun is Uncle Wang's only child, knowledgeable, generous, and will not worry about recruiting a talented and good-looking county horse in the future." ”

"Doesn't the prince have a suitable candidate in mind?" Prince Sheng saw through a word. In his heart, although the prince and him are uncles and nephews, he knows that he has to avoid suspicion over the years, so the relationship is not close. The prince rarely mentioned this cousin in the past, and there must be a reason why he took the initiative to stir up trouble today.

Yu Wenye didn't sell Guan Zi: "Shangguan Yi, the eldest son of Prime Minister Shangguan, is eighteen years old, has both talent and morality, and his family background is not an insult to his cousin." He used to be my companion, and now that he is of marriage age, this prince has to worry about a thing or two. ”

Shangguan Yi is three years younger than Yu Wenye, and has been a prince in the study for several years, and he is modest and elegant. They have a bit of a classmate relationship, and Shangguan Yi is naturally a close confidant of Yu Wenye. As for the family background, Prime Minister Shangguan is the head of civil officials, and he has a prominent reputation and influence in the court, and the Prime Minister's wife is from the Xiao family, and the Empress Dowager Xiao takes great care of the Shangguan family. It's just that they are just taking care of the female dependents of the Shangguan family, and it seems that the prime minister and his sons are thinking quite right.

Fang Caiyu Wenye said that he wanted to be a matchmaker, and Bai Muguan next to him already understood the deep meaning. Prince Sheng and his wife only have one county lord under their knees, and if Shangguan Yi is recruited as a county horse, it is equivalent to completely pulling Shangguan and Prince Sheng into a battle line. This family affair was personally guarded by Yu Wenye, and Shangguan Yi was friendly with him, and the two forces were unconsciously gathered into a force by him and held tightly in his hands.

If you don't take the lead at this time, I'm afraid that it won't be long before the Empress Dowager Xiao will make an edict to let Shangguan Yi marry the daughter of the Xiao family. The marriage of being close to each other is the most popular nowadays, and Mrs. Shangguan will definitely not object, and it will be inconvenient for Prime Minister Shangguan to obstruct it when the time comes. In this way, there are in-laws, and the Shangguan family will inevitably favor the Empress Dowager Xiao.

Although Prince Sheng has ignored mundane affairs in recent years, he has not yet reached the age of old age and faint mind, on the contrary, his mind is as bright as a mirror, and he will not be unable to see through Yu Wenye's ideas. Pretending to raise his eyebrows and groaning for a moment, Prince Sheng narrowed his eyes, looked at the young and vigorous Prince of the East Palace with deep meaning, and suddenly smiled again: "It is indeed a good marriage, and Prince Lao bothered to do so." However, this king thinks of Princess Heqing, she is the prince's sister-in-law, if you let Shangguan Gongzi still be the master, wouldn't you be more able to make your wishes come true? ”

did not promise or refuse politely, but turned around and grabbed his sister Yuwen Qingxia. Yu Wenye hooked his lips playfully, Prince Sheng was really powerful, everything was exactly the same as he imagined.

Holding up the delicate and warm white jade teacup, Yu Wenye took a sip of tea before slowly speaking: "I am not the only prince under my father's knees, everyone is Uncle Wang's own nephew, I don't dare to ask Uncle Wang to favor one over the other." ”

In a word!

Since Yuwen Hao decreed the crown prince, it is considered to be expected, after all, the queen of the middle palace has only one son, and the princes of the Tianxi Dynasty have taken their sons first. But there are always people who have evil intentions. For example, Yu Wencheng, who always considers himself the eldest son of the emperor, and the Empress Dowager Xiao, who is not old and ambitious......

As the most noble prince in the court, Prince Sheng treats the princes almost equally, and has never been particularly kind to anyone. Including the crown prince Yu Wenye, Prince Sheng only occasionally played a little more "uncle and nephew affection" for outsiders when the royal family gathered. This was his shrewdness, so the emperor was also considerate of him, and he was not suspicious.

"It's good that the prince understands this truth." Prince Sheng's eyes sank, and after thinking about it, he said, "But you are the sister-in-law of the imperial brother, and your status is far more valuable than others." ”

Yu Wenye smiled but did not answer, and motioned for Prince Sheng to drink tea.

"Lord, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just said this family matter, and the concubine thinks it can be considered." Prince Sheng opened her mouth without warning, with an elegant and decent smile on her face, "Jun'er is not small, no matter how much we cherish her, we can't keep her as an old girl without marrying." I heard that the prime minister of Shangguan has a clean and upright family style, and his eldest son is extraordinary in appearance, and he will have a great future in two years. ”

The women's family didn't understand the invisible war between the royal family and nobles, and simply thought that Shangguan Yi was suitable to match their daughter. Prince Sheng's expression moved slightly, and he subconsciously perfunctory a few words to the princess.

Yu Wenye raised his eyebrows disappreciatively, his eyes were as bright as stars: "Uncle Wang doesn't have to make a decision in a hurry, you might as well go back to the house and think about it for a few days." If you think it is appropriate in your heart, this family business will be wrapped up in your nephew. ”

He didn't intend to hide it from Prince Sheng, and of course it was impossible to hide it. Each other's future interests are involved behind this family business, and he naturally has to give enough time for Prince Rongsheng to think it through.

Prince Sheng didn't answer, but simply straightened up his clothes and stood up to say goodbye: "It's not early, and there are still miscellaneous things in the house, so this king won't stay to bother the prince to recuperate." ”

"Uncle Wang is in a hurry to go home, and my nephew can't keep you for dinner." Saying that, Yu Wenye personally sent Prince Sheng and his wife out of the house, and the etiquette was very thorough.
