"So, it was the prince who forcibly wanted to take me back at that time?"

In the annex, Lu Yanyue sat in the backyard, learning from the attendants to help make wine. Phantom Dance sat aside and told Lu Yanyue what happened in the hunting ground earlier, and after Lu Yanyue heard it, she suddenly came to her senses.

No wonder Chen Chenyi was reluctant to answer this question before.

"Although the young master never mentioned it, Phantom Dance grew up with the young master after all. Even if we can't guess the young master's thoughts very accurately, we can estimate one or two. ”

"In the young master's heart, he has already unconsciously put your status in the highest place, Miss. I must have felt guilty about the behavior of the hunting grounds at that time! That's why the young master didn't want to mention the events of the day in the hunting ground. ”

Phantom Dance took over the work in Lu Yanyue's hands, tinkered carefully, and explained to Lu Yanyue little by little in a gentle tone. And after listening to this, Lu Yanyue can be regarded as understanding Chen Chenyi's thoughts, but what makes Lu Yanyue feel guilty is always the relationship between Chen Chenyi and Song Anxiao.

"Phantom Dance, go get some pigeon food."

"Huh?"

Phantom Dance didn't react to Lu Yanyue's command for a while, raised her eyes and followed Lu Yanyue's gaze, only to see a pigeon not far away. The sharp-eyed Phantom Dance quickly saw the note tied to the pigeon's leg, frowned, and stopped his movements uneasily and walked towards the pigeon.

Lu Yanyue, who realized the seriousness of the problem, followed the pace of the phantom dance and came to the pigeon's side, and after seeing the note on his leg, Lu Yanyue also frowned.

I thought: since no one knows the location of the annex, how did the carrier pigeon find it?

The two nervously came to Chen Chenyi's side with the carrier pigeon, and Chen Chenyi was playing chess with Haisheng at this time.

"Young Master." Phantom Dance approached and called out uneasily.

When Chen Chen heard this, he tilted his head slightly, and Phantom Dance continued: "There is a carrier pigeon. ”

As he spoke, he handed over the carrier pigeon in his hand, Chen Chen stopped what he was doing, and looked back at the carrier pigeon in Phantom Dance's hand. Then he took down the note on the pigeon's leg seriously, and after looking at the contents, his serious expression was replaced by a few smiles.

"Is it a letter from the crown prince?" Lu Yanyue looked at Chen Chenyi's reaction and asked tentatively.

Chen Chen nodded, the joy in his eyes was self-evident, and he was not surprised by Lu Yanyue's guess. "So, you didn't break up?" Lu Yanyue continued to speculate.

When Chen Chen saw Lu Yanyue asking like this, he motioned for Haisheng Phantom Dance to retreat, pulled Lu Yanyue to sit opposite him, and asked meaningfully, "Do you want to know all the things?" ”

"Second Young Master, don't you think what you're saying is nonsense?" Lu Yanyue suddenly had a feeling that she didn't know anything, for Chen Chenyi's gaze at this time, and the explanation before adding the phantom dance......

"I don't know where to start for a while, so you can ask me and answer!"

When Chen Chen saw Lu Yanyue's eyes shining, he couldn't help laughing, and said in a doting tone.

Lu Yanyue was stunned when Chen Chen said this, and thought: This is not a deliberate trick? If you ask yourself and Chen Chen answers, then you will definitely miss a lot of key points.

"You just say what comes to mind." Lu Yanyue said lightly.

Chen Chen smiled and looked at Lu Yanyue with a doting face, at this time, the little Jiujiu in Lu Yanyue's heart, how could Chen Chenyi not know?

"The Prime Minister has fallen." Chen Chen opened his mouth in a warm voice and began to narrate to Lu Yanyue.

"Actually, An Xiao and I have long known that the people behind it are the prime minister and Concubine Ning. Concubine Ning has a ninth elder brother under her knees, named Song Anyi, An Yi has not fought or grabbed since he was a child, and he is not conspicuous among the elder brothers. Although Concubine Ning said that she had an heir, her status was not improved, and she was not favored by the emperor, so these two people in the harem can be said to be just a drop in the sea. ”

"Prime Minister, as an important minister in the court, everyone doesn't know an inside story, that is: The Prime Minister and Concubine Ning are half-brothers and sisters. This matter can be concealed to this day, it is completely dependent on their fathers, early when the prime minister's father and a woman did not marry, they had the prime minister's background, and it was said that it was also a sensation in the capital at that time. ”

"My father was already quite influential in the capital, and in order to interrupt the spread of the world, the prime minister's father decisively abandoned the woman, and the prime minister stayed by his side because he was a man. When the world saw such a form, they naturally talked for a long time after dinner, and then gradually stopped mentioning it because the woman did not appear again. ”

But who knows, at that time, the prime minister's father did not immediately break off with the woman, and the two still had a lot of contact in private, and gave birth to Concubine Ning. Because the two had a private relationship, and the woman's life had always been poor, the woman was born prematurely and died the day after Concubine Ning's birth. ”

"Didn't that say the man was influential? So I think I should be quite rich, why do I still have a bad life? Lu Yanyue listened to what Chen Chenyi said, and couldn't help but interrupt Chen Chenyi's words with confusion.

Chen Chen nodded and continued: "Indeed, their family is quite rich, but at that time, the prime minister's father was not in charge of the family, and when such a thing happened, his mother naturally cut off most of his financial resources. This is also one of the indirect reasons for premature birth, because of the lack of nutrition, the woman's already weak body is simply unable to support postpartum consumption......"

Lu Yan nodded happily and continued to listen to what Chen Chenyi said.

"After Concubine Ning was born, her father naturally did not dare to bring her back to the house to raise her, so he entrusted Concubine Ning to an ordinary family, giving monthly maintenance expenses, and begging the other party to take care of Concubine Ning's healthy growth."

"In this matter, it was not until his father died that the prime minister knew that he still had such a sister who was outcast. After the prime minister sat in the position of prime minister, Concubine Ning was already generous and looked like a beauty. The people who supported the family, after the prime minister sat firmly, also got a lot of rewards, in order not to cause more trouble, the prime minister did not bring his sister back to the house. ”

When Lu Yanyue heard this, she couldn't help but interrupt again, and asked rhetorically: "Since this thing is so hidden, how do you know?" And not to mention his father's generation, Brother Jiu is the same age as you, these things are basically old things, and you haven't been reincarnated when they happen! ”

As soon as Chen Chen heard Lu Yanyue say this, he couldn't help laughing, he was amused by Lu Yanyue's words, and patiently explained: "What you said is indeed right, I haven't been reincarnated when these things happened, but I have an attendant!" As the saying goes, there is no impermeable wall under the sky, as long as it is what has happened, there is nothing that the attendants cannot investigate. ”

"The only thing that needs to be paid is time."

As soon as Chen Chen said lightly, there was a sense of pride in his tone, as if he was showing off to Lu Yanyue. Lu Yanyue couldn't help but grab a chess piece and smash it towards Chen Chen, and muttered something in his mouth: "Be serious, continue to speak." ”

What happened then was that the emperor accepted a concubine in the harem, although the prime minister did not want his sister to enter the palace, but Concubine Ning still went to participate in the draft behind the prime minister's back. The prime minister's original idea was extremely simple: I hope that Concubine Ning will be an ordinary woman, find a good marriage, and live a safe and happy life. ”

"Helplessly, Concubine Ning is clamoring to enter the palace, after all, the prime minister is a court official, it is impossible to run to Concubine Ning every day, and when the prime minister finds out about this, Concubine Ning has become a show girl, and the two meet in the palace......"

Concubine Ning said: I don't want to be ordinary, even if I don't want to be favored when I enter the palace, it's better than three meals of white rice and hard work every day. At that time, the prime minister still paid sincerely to the emperor, in the hope that when Concubine Ning had an accident in the future, he would be able to say a word or two. And at that time, Concubine Ning did not fight or grab, which An Yi learned very well. ”

"Because she has never received a good education, Concubine Ning is not more proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting than other young ladies, but fortunately she has won the emperor's favor with her good looks."

And because Concubine Ning has always been an indisputable character, she has not married a beam in the palace, which can be regarded as a safe birth of An Yi. After giving birth to An Yi, Concubine Ning was favored for a period of time, but Concubine Ning also knew the depth of the harem. ”

"Although his brother is the prime minister, the relationship between the two is a little shady, if you want An Yi to grow up safely, Concubine Ning can only withdraw from the harem battle. Staying in his Jingyang Palace all day long to take care of An Yi, the emperor will serve when he goes, and if the emperor doesn't go, he looks indifferent. ”

"I have to praise Concubine Ning for this move, which is very smart. Although he has not been favored by the emperor for so many years, his life is also comfortable, and he and An Yi have lived smoothly until now. ”

Lu Yanyue heard Chen Chenyi say so much about Concubine Ning's past, and the originally stretched brows on her face gradually wrinkled together, and she looked at Chen Chenyi in confusion. As soon as Chen Chen noticed Lu Yanyue's confusion, he stopped and waited for Lu Yanyue's question.

"According to what you say, there is no need for this Concubine Ning to let An Yi sit on the throne of the crown prince! In the future, when the crown prince ascends the throne, An Yi, as the ninth elder brother, can be canonized as the prince, wouldn't that be more speedy to live, and as the prince without fighting or grabbing, marrying a wife and having children, isn't it in line with Concubine Ning's wishes? ”

Lu Yanyue said his thoughts, after all, although Brother Jiu is not famous now, it is precisely because he is not famous, but it has made him stable. If so, why should you participate in the seizure of the throne? After all, if you lose, if you don't have stability, your head will not be easy to protect.

"The truth is so, but what some people think in their hearts is not something that outsiders can penetrate, just like An Yi wants to take the position of prince. When I investigated this matter, don't talk about me, An Xiao didn't believe it. After all, An Yi is too honest, usually in the harem, a person who is too little nonsense to have such great ambitions. Chen Chen said lightly, even if he didn't want to admit it, but this was the truth.
