There are no secrets in Beijing, and soon, the news of Yan Xiuyu's resignation spread throughout the aristocracy of the entire Great Zhou.

Countless people couldn't help but gloat and looked lively, because after Yan Xiuyu resigned, his brother was not reinstated, but was appointed by the crown prince to take up another post.

In this way, the Yan family is really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, not only is there one less prince, but even most of the real power has been lost, how can it not be laughed at.

In the Baiyun Tower, several idlers are sitting and drinking tea, these people are brightly dressed and well-maintained, and they are the people of a small aristocratic family in Beijing.

One of them was a little older, about forty years old, and said with a smile: "Have you heard about the Yan family?" ”

"Why haven't you heard of it! It's a shame that when Prince Ning came back a few days ago, my family also sent a gift, and now it seems that Prince Ning can't stand up at all, I see, the Yan family is about to lose in his hands. The man rubbed his hands together with a look of "how good I am him".

"Who says it's not, I've often heard people say these days that this Ning Wang Ye takes his wife and children to play all day long, and never does anything serious. It's really pitiful for the ancestors of the Yan family to give birth to such a loser's descendant. ”

The older man smiled mysteriously: "You are still young, maybe you don't remember the events of your early years." More than ten years ago, in our capital, there were four evildoers, and this Ning Wang Ye was one of them. ”

"Listening to Brother Liao, the younger brother is a little impressed, who are the remaining three?"

"I remembered! Yan Xiuyu, the little prince of Yanwang's Mansion, Yuan Qianqian, the princess of Prince Zhao's Mansion, and the two should be Gu Hao, the concubine of Gu Zhuguo's General Mansion, and Chu Yiqiao, the third concubine in the Chu Ministry of Industry. ”

"Yes, yes, yes! It's these four! Brother Ning still has a good memory, except for this Ning Wangye, I can't even remember the three next to me. ”

"That's nature! Back then, these four wicked people were all children, but they were just rude and willful. I heard that everyone else is doing well now, except for this Ning Wangye, who has repeatedly taught and has become more and more excessive! The person known as Brother Ning shook the folding fan and said with a smug face.

When Brother Ning said this, it aroused the interest of the younger brothers. These four wicked people, except for Ning Wangye, what are the others doing now? ”

"You don't know that! Prince Zhao's Mansion Miss Yuan Qianqian married His Royal Highness the Prince, and is now one of His Royal Highness's two side concubines, much favored, her son is His Royal Highness Yuan Jin, the eldest grandson of the Emperor, His Royal Highness is born extraordinary, has the appearance of the emperor, and will inevitably inherit the throne of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future, Miss Yuan Qianqian is naturally the one who wants to be the queen. The other man who had not spoken stood up, his tongue splashing and speaking very loudly with excitement. made many people around cast strange eyes.

The person surnamed Ning actually didn't know the whereabouts of the two people except Yan Xiuyu and Yuan Qianqian, and when someone else intervened, he stopped interjecting.

Just when this group of people fiercely praised Yuan Qianqian for reforming her evil and returning to the right, and Yan Xiuyu couldn't support the wall with mud, a person dressed as a small servant came over, saluted, and said, "Four masters, our master invites the four of you to the private room for a while." ”

These four people, you look at me, I look at you, or the oldest human: "Who is your master?" ”

"You'll know as soon as the four of you go."

These four people saw that this little guy was noble and extraordinary, not like a descendant of an ordinary family, just with their small aristocratic families, they would definitely not be able to raise such a subordinate, and there was a faint expectation in their hearts, they seemed to have met a real nobleman.

The little guy led the way, and led the four of them to a private room separated by the screen next to it, and the little guy opened the curtain of the door, made a gesture of please, and stopped following up.

The four of them entered the door, and when they looked at it, they gasped one by one, and their hearts jumped, only to see two people in their thirties sitting on the main seat.

One of them had a narrow distance between his eyebrows, and he didn't look like a very easy person to get along with, but he had a cautious and kind smile on his face. The other person was born with a face like a crown of jade, with a graceful demeanor, and he was a rare beautiful man.

They have been in Beijing for many years, cutting their heads to get acquainted with the powerful, although they have never really intersected with these two people before, but they have seen them from afar - isn't this the second prince and the fourth prince?

Although the second prince and the fourth prince don't seem to be very powerful, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, these two are really the blessings of cultivating hundreds of lifetimes in their previous lives before they can be reincarnated into the royal family, they are really jealous of them.

Thinking like this, the smiles on the faces of these four people became extremely affectionate, and they rushed to salute the fourth prince and the second prince, for fear of falling under the others.

"Four of you, please sit, my fourth brother and I came out to sit today, and overheard the conversation of the four, I didn't expect that there was such a hero with true insight in the market, and I was tempted to invite the four to get together." The second prince said with a smile.

These four people were praised by the second prince, and all the 108,000 pores on their bodies were open, and they couldn't wait to pounce on them and lick the shoes of the second prince, wagging their tails to recognize him as the master.

Among them, only the middle-aged man surnamed Liao was still a little sober, they didn't say anything good outside just now, they kept saying bad things about Lord Ning, and slapped the concubine Yuan's fart, what kind of insight is this. He was afraid that the second prince and the fourth prince had other plans.

After the second prince finished speaking, the fourth prince also smiled slightly: "Several of them must be the sons of noble families, and they have a wide range of friends, which is incomparable to me and the second brother." My second brother and I have lived like blind and deaf people over the years, and many things have been kept in the dark, so I want to hear you tell me and my second brother about these interesting and beautiful things, and it is not in vain to come to this teahouse. ”

These four people have been given seats, and they have each served good fragrant tea in front of them, and they feel that they have a great face.

I heard that the fourth prince and the second prince only wanted to listen to gossip about the aristocratic family, so naturally they all knew everything, said everything, and even added oil and vinegar to tell some unnecessary things vividly, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

If it is said that the person who is the most rumored in the capital now is not Yan Xiuyu, but the new queen Yan Shuyu. For Yan Shuyu, there are praises, scoldings, and even mythologizing her, in addition, there are some improper places, and there are also secret rumors, saying that Yan Shuyu can only be a queen by relying on her hard work on the couch.

At the beginning, these four people were still a little taboo and didn't dare to mention the new queen Yan Shuyu, but under the repeated temptation of the second prince and the fourth prince, they still didn't keep their mouths open, and said a lot of rumors about Yan Shuyu that they knew.

The fourth prince and the second prince were full of warm smiles, listened attentively, and suddenly, the second prince, who had rarely interjected, said: "I heard that the queen mother is pregnant. ”

The four of them stared at each other for a moment.

Yan Shuyu's pregnancy was only diagnosed, and it was not spread outside the palace at all, and it was the first time these four people had heard of it.

They couldn't help but be surprised, but this news came out of the mouth of the second prince, and it would definitely not be fake.

The fourth prince smiled and glanced at the second prince: "Yes, I also heard from the father-in-law who reported the good news." It seems that Qin Tianjian also measured the destiny of the child in the womb of the concubine, and this child will be unspeakably expensive in the future. ”

As a prince, it must be a rich life, but the only one who can be the adjective of indescribable noble is the ninety-five.

Hearing what the four princes said, the legs and stomachs of the four people couldn't help but tremble, half because of excitement, half because of fright.

The one in Yan Shuyu's belly is a brother to the crown prince, the second prince, and the fourth prince, if there is no accident, it should be the crown prince who inherits the throne. The four princes will not deceive people with this, if Qin Tianjian said that the one in Yan Shuyu's belly is unspeakably expensive, could it be said that the crown prince cannot inherit the throne at all, but it is Yan Shuyu who is pregnant with the real future emperor in the future?

The news was so shocking that the four of them stopped squeaking all of a sudden. The fourth prince and the second prince were smiling, as if Fang Cai's words were not what they said at all, and after a while, he asked whose children were the most ridiculous in Beijing now, and which four were the new four evildoers.

On the morning of the second day, the gossip that the child Yan Shuyu was carrying was the true son of destiny, spread all over the streets and alleys, and even Yan Qingge, who had breakfast, heard about it.

Her fever had subsided, but she was still a little lazy, and when she heard this rumor, she couldn't help but sneer: "How fresh! The one in her belly is only two months old, and she has the image of a true son? I am not afraid that the wind will flash my tongue, but it will bring disaster to this child. ”

She is aware of the historical process, on the grassland now, the emperor has been paralyzed, no matter how carefully he serves, he can't last long, this child may end up with the unlucky identity of a widow, not to mention, the real emperor has not touched a finger of her at all, the one in her belly who knows whose seed it is, what to fight with the prince of the climate, Yan Shuyu is crazy.

Although public opinion is indeed important, under absolute power, the common people have no right to speak at all. Yan Shuyu was afraid that she had already received the news that the emperor who was pretending to be a guard in Qingzhou was not in good health, and knew that there was no way out, so she wanted to fight to the death.

Yan Xiuyu sat on the edge of the table, accompanied Yan Qingge to dinner, listened to her words, and said, "No matter what, are you feeling better today?" Today I wanted to take you to the mountains to hunt, but I couldn't. But now is the time when the game is plump, so why don't you ask someone to dig a hearth in the house, and we will barbecue at home. ”

Yan Qingge smiled: "Okay! These days, those barbarian families in Beijing have sent a lot of prey, and I happen to be hungry for the venison you roasted with your own hands, take a salt bowl and wipe it, don't put other ingredients, it is the most delicious. ”

Since Yan Xiuyu resigned from the official position of the Criminal Department, the relationship between many families in the capital and Ning Wangfu has faded, but it is the barbarian nobles who followed Yan Xiuyu to the capital at the beginning are still as enthusiastic as before and interact with Ning Wangfu, which makes Yan Qingge a little embarrassed, how many years have passed, and they have not forgotten their Qiu Wei King.

When the subordinates were instructed, they went to prepare the materials, and the husband and wife talked and laughed, obviously not taking the rumors in Beijing to heart at all.

Seeing that the iron stove, iron rack and fresh meat dishes for barbecue outside were ready, I just waited for the family to go, and the janitor came to report and said, "Niangniang, your mother's Aunt Caifeng asks to see you."

Yan Qingge hadn't seen Caifeng for a long time, and she didn't know what she was doing at this time, thinking that maybe she had encountered some difficulties, so she said, "Bring my aunt over." ”<
